The updated tubeless-ready Hutchinson Toro is yet another all-around tire that's adaptable to a variety of trail conditions. The Toro's highlight feature is what Hutchinson calls Hardskin technology, where a dense yet flexible textile grid is used to reinforce the tire's casing. By placing this compound on the sidewalls, you increase puncture resistance without reducing performance. The Toro also features open lateral knobs for better trail penetration and low center knobs that enhance mud shedding.

Ryan Crocker, ambassador to Afghanistan, to leave
Wednesday, May 23, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ryan Crocker, the unflappable diplomat who became the civilian face of America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan over two administrations, is stepping down as ambassador to Afghanistan and retiring from the U.S. foreign service after a storied tenure in some of the world's most dangerous hotspots.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Tuesday the 62-year-old veteran envoy would leave his post in Kabul this summer because of health reasons she declined to detail.
His departure comes a year earlier than planned after Crocker came out of retirement in 2011 to take the helm of the embassy at President Barack Obama's personal request. His resignation was announced as the U.S. and its NATO allies forged ahead with plans to close the largely stalemated conflict by the end of 2014 but keep their troops fighting there in the meantime.
With that timetable on track, Crocker's departure from Kabul will not likely herald any new U.S. approach to the conflict. However, the loss of his presence as a trouble-shooter since the 1980s will be felt as the administration struggles to prevent Afghanistan from descending again into the cauldron of extremism that gave sanctuary to Osama bin Laden and leaders of his al-Qaida network.
Crocker's departure comes at a time when the NATO and U.S. civilian efforts in Afghanistan face increasing strain while the military draws down its forces in time for the 2014 end of combat operations.
The U.S. embassy in Kabul confirmed Crocker's departure "with regret" while officials in Washington said he made his plans known to Obama during this weekend's NATO summit in Chicago at which the allies discussed the way forward in Afghanistan.

- Absorption spectra of driven degenerate two-level atomic systems
- Author(s)
- Lipsich, A.; Barreiro, S.; Akulshin, A. M.; Lezama, A.
- Abstract
- The absorption properties of degenerate two-level atomic systems tested by a weak probe field in the presence of an intense pump field have been analyzed. The theoretical model previously presented in Phys. Rev. A 61, 013801 (1999) that appears to be suitable for arbitrary choices of the pump intensity, level angular momenta, and pump and probe polarizations, was used for the calculation of the spectra for several basic configurations. Experimental absorption spectra obtained on a Rb atomic beam for different pump and probe field polarizations show good agreement with the calculation. The spectra are in general essentially different from and more complex than the classical Mollow absorption triplet.

I'm not a big soccer fan. Generally speaking, I'd rather watch bass fishing or women's softball. But the FIFA World Cup is more than a few games of soccer — it's a spectacle.
This month the sport everyone else in the world calls "football", aptly named, has our attention. Since most of my attention is dedicated to The Web, I thought I'd start a list of the best world cup websites. This short list is only a start. I hope you'll help me grow it.
- My favorite. The Onion guide to understanding World Cup soccer.
- Official South African government site for the event.
- Hyundai World Cup contest (One Million Balls promotion)
*Warning auto-play music. I hate that, but still cool.
- ESPN Soccernet
- Facebook fan page (oops…I mean Like page). Why aren't there 1 million "likes?" Oh, yeah. Because it's soccer.
- iTunes, iPhones, iApps for the iCup
- Mashable.com's World Cup Hub
- UniWatch blog post (great site!)
- Flickr Group for the World Cup
- Coolest World Cup stadiums
- World Cup videos from The Daily Show
- 2010 World Cup on Google Trends. Very interesting!
- LIFE.com photo gallery of the opening ceremonies
- World Cup on Twitter
- Visa promotion on YouTube. People doing the crazy GOOOOOOOAAL cheers.
- And another YouTube channel — Nike Soccer.
- Main FIFA site has to be on the list.
- One of a countless number of world cup blogs covering the soccer spectacle.
That probably doesn't scratch the surface of interesting World Cup websites but it's a start. Let me know what you find. And please, no porn, poker, or pills.

One of the most eye-catching designs we spotted at ICFF this year [2] was Mixko's 100% wool felt butterfly lamps [3] called "Delight". Inspired by nature, these truly delightful lamps are soft, playful, beautiful, and sustainable to boot due to their smart and efficient use of felt [4]. When lit, the cut-out butterfly silhouettes cast playful shadows on the walls and ceiling.

CPP-109 Clinical Trial Data To Be Presented At The American Society Of Addiction Medicine Annual Medical-Scientific Conference
CORAL GABLES, Fla., April 9, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPRX) today announced that on Friday April 16th, Eugene C. Somoza, MD, PhD, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and VA Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH will present a paper he authored along with Charles Gorodetzky, MD, PhD, Douglas Winship and Peggy Somoza, entitled: "A Multi-Site, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Vigabatrin (VGB) for Treating Cocaine Dependence" at the American Society of Addiction Medicine's (ASAM) 41st Annual Medical-Scientific Conference in San Francisco, CA. Dr. Somoza was the Coordinating Principal Investigator for the trial and will discuss data from Catalyst's U.S. Phase II trial evaluating CPP-109, Catalyst's form of vigabatrin, to treat cocaine addiction. Further, the Company reported that the presentation materials from the conference will be posted on April 16th on the Company's website, www.catalystpharma.com, under "Events and Presentations." About Catalyst Pharmaceutical PartnersCatalyst Pharmaceutical Partners, Inc. is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of prescription drugs targeting diseases of the central nervous system with a focus on the treatment of drug addiction and epilepsy. Catalyst has two products in development, and is currently evaluating the lead product candidate, CPP-109 (vigabatrin, a GABA aminotransferase inhibitor) for the treatment of cocaine addiction. CPP-109 has been granted "Fast Track" status by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cocaine addiction, which indicates that the FDA has recognized that CPP-109 is intended for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition for which there is no effective treatment and which demonstrates the potential to address an unmet medical need. Catalyst also expects to evaluate CPP-109 for the treatment of other addictions and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Catalyst is also in the early stages of developing CPP-115, another GABA aminotransferase inhibitor that could be more potent than vigabatrin but may have reduced side effects (e.g., visual field defects, or VFDs) from those associated with vigabatrin. Catalyst is planning to develop CPP-115 for several indications, including epilepsy and drug addiction. Catalyst believes that it controls all current intellectual property for drugs that have a mechanism of action related to GABA aminotransferase.

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse Screens
Also known as Fatal Frame IV, the newest chapter in the franchise is titled Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and is a Wii exclusive slated for a release sometime this Winter in Japan. North American and European dates have yet to be announced but we do know that is a collaborative effort involving a development team consisting of members from Tecmo, Nintendo and Grasshopper Manufacturer. Expect it to be very creepy and visually stunning as the key elements for the game are "memory", "moon", "mask," and the image color for the game is yellow.
Not much else is known about the game, but hopefully the Wii mote will not pose an aiming challenge and Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will make a great addition to the franchise.

North Carolina AHEC Program
spring 2013 newsletter | home
2013 Payne Fellows Announced
The NC AHEC Program announced two John Payne Fellows for 2013. The purpose of the Fellowship is to honor the memory of John Payne and the contributions he made for nearly 25 years to the North Carolina AHEC Program. The Fellowship is awarded annually to one or more non-medical faculty members of the AHECs in North Carolina. It provides support to allow the Payne Fellow to study some aspect of health professions education relevant to the AHEC Program. Projects emphasize lifelong learning, involving experiences and activities which explore new models, new ways of thinking, and innovation.
Kelly Blasky, MPH, from Charotte AHEC, was selected to attend the national training for Mental Health First Aid. As director of mental health and aging education, Blasky will gain new expertise that she will be able to share with those served by the Charlotte AHEC and statewide.
Toni P. Chatman, MHA, from Wake AHEC, was chosen to attend the Health Literacy Institute in Maine. She has already completed the UNC Carolina Geriatric Education Center Faculty Development Program, and will use her Payne Fellowship to add to her leadership role in health literacy through Wake AHEC and the NC AHEC Program.

Once upon a time, there lived a jandal wearing duck his name was Fish. He wanted to enter his talking potato, Bob, into the annual pet race.
Nobody thought a talking potato could win a race more likely walk! But Fish was determined to enter his pet Fish trained his pet but never went overboard, he always encouraged and was nice, but not all the pets had an owner like this like the poor Cheetah named Domo and his owner a Gorilla. He whipped Domo and made him run even when he was tired and puffed out. He said if he didn't win he would send poor Domo to the Dun…Dun…Dun… Pound.
The next day was the big race, the Gorilla was training Domo to ride a unicycle while juggling potatoes and then for the finale… He ate them.
When Bob found out he was horrified, Fish asked why those potatoes meant so much to him,
Bob replied, "That was my cousin. He was so young ".
"Today is the big race", said Fish, "It starts at 12 pm, sharp."
When they got there, Fish put a collar around Bob. Gorilla put a gold chain with black diamonds on it.
When they were in their places the judge called,
They were off Cheetah was off at an astounding pace but Bob hadn't moved, Fish kept cheering. Soon enough Domo grew tired and weary and finally collapsed. When Domo awoke the first thing he saw was Bob and he was standing at the finish line! Bob had won and the prize was a pair of solid gold jandal!!
People never underestimated talking potatoes again: D
PS. Domo was sent to Madagascar!
The End

The book I am reading at the moment is called Utterly Me, Clarice Bean. The author is Lauren Child.
I love her books because she writes about experiences that I can relate to.
The chapter is about Clarice's teacher telling them that they have to pick a partner and do a exhibit on the book or series of their choice. She picks her best friend Betty Moody to be her partner and their exhibit is on their favourite series in the entire world called Ruby Redfort, but before Clarice can tell Betty Moody about her exhibit ideas, Betty Moody doesn't turn up to school that day or the next or the next.
Clarice gets a weird post card but the name is smudged and all it says is, "Had to leave to Rus" but the rest is ripped off.
That's all I know so far but these are a few questions I have got in my head,
Where did Betty go?
Why isn't she coming to school?
Why didn't she tell her she was going to be away?

Rainy Days
Clouds blanketed across the sky,
Dripping drops falling by my side,
Droplets falling down, down, down,
It pours on everything it has found.
It's raining cats and dogs,
And guess what now my clothes
are waterlogged.
There's a clatter,
There's a roar,
It sounds like we live on a
beach shore.
Like an angry tiger the rain growled at me,
sounds really, really hungry.
The air is moist and very damp,
definitely not the day to camp.
Bubble, Gurgle, Splatter, Splosh
After this I'll need a wash.
The rain's icy fingers caught me in its grip,
This will be a long, long trip.

Kids Need Cellphones!!
I strongly believe young kids should have cellphones.
There are three main reasons to support my argument.
Firstly kids need cellphones for times when they get hurt or need a lift home. They will need to ring their mum or dad.
Secondly is that when they grow up they might not know how to work a phone
but if they learn when they're young they'll remember it. It will be so easy when they grow up to use the latest technology.
Furthermore if they ever see something that they may never see again,
they can easily take a picture on their phone.
Therefore young kids should have a cellphone for safety, educational and recreational reasons.

Cloudy aquarium water is often seen in the aquarium. Although not particularly harmful, it is unsightly.
One of the most common problems that can occur right at the beginning after a new aquarium set up is installed is termed "New Tank Syndrome". The tank becomes filled with cloudy water.
It may look like someone poured a glass of milk into the aquarium. Although this is most common about three days after a new aquarium has been filled with water.
Most often seen right at the beginning, it can also occur much later in the life of the aquarium. The symptoms are the same, but the underlying cause may (or may not) be the same.
The reason you see cloudy aquarium water appearing as a milky cloud is because the density of individual bacteria suspended in the water is so high. They are seen as the cloud by the naked eye.
Bacteria are always in the water, but only when there is a bacterial bloom can they be detected without tools.
New Tank Syndrome
When a new aquarium installation is created, the water that is added is sterile. It was treated by the water company with chlorine in most cases. This killed any bacteria in the water supply.
When a chlorine remover is added, the water becomes safe to support life, but it is sterile. Since bacteria are ubiquitous, they will populate anywhere that will support them.
They will drop into the aquarium and establish themselves without a problem. Where they come from is irrelevant, what happens when they get there is.
Bacteria populate geometrically. The population doubles every replication period. They will populate a given water column as fast as they are able.
In the case of a new tank, there are few, if any, predators. The population will grow substantially and with little loss. It takes abut three days before the population can become a visual problem.
In most cases, the water will stay clear. This is a function of the available nutrition carried in the new tap water.
If the water in the tank is not carrying much in the way of dissolved nutrients, the bacteria will stabilize to a population that is useful, but not visible.
In some cases, the water company may have had a problem with filtering. The water and a lot of dissolved nutrients were in the water when taken from the tap.
This is not all that uncommon, and especially true in the spring when a rapid thaw and spring run off occurs.
In this case, the rapid flow of melted snow and ice into the reservoirs bring all the assorted wastes trapped during the winter into the water supply. This often overwhelms the filter capacity of the water company.
A lot of dissolved compounds creep into the water as well. Many of these are nutritional supplies for the bacteria. This abundant food sends their populations into a bacterial bloom where they over-populate.
This is one case where the cloudy water can be detected. For this reason, water changes should be carefully considered when the spring thaw is occurring. It can also occur after very strong rainstorms. The same overwhelming conditions may occur.
If you use the wrong water, the result will be cloudy aquarium water.
Bacterial bloom in established aquariums
There is a second set of circumstances where the water can allow the sudden explosion of bacteria suspended in the water that results in cloudy aquarium water. In this case it is often the fault of the aquarist.
Decay processes will break down solid wastes to more common compounds, but can also release some of these as dissolved nutrients.
Even more common is the case where a fish tank is regularly overfed and some of the left-over food makes its way into the water column as dissolved nutrition for the bacteria always there.
If standard aquarium maintenance and regular water changes do not occur, especially using a gravel cleaner to remove wastes caught in the gravel, the overall nutritional availability increases over time.
Cloudy aquarium water in this case is often a result of poor maintenance habits and excessive feeding. If the food available is adequate, a bacterial bloom can be triggered as well.
If the conditions are close to promoting sudden population explosion and water with a lot of dissolved nutrients is added - say to compensate for evaporation - a bloom can be triggered.
Solving the problem
Cloudy aquarium water is a sign the aquarium water has too many dissolved nutrients in it. This can occur in a new aquarium through no fault of the aquarist. It can also happen in an older aquarium where regular over feeding and somewhat poor maintenance is the standard.
Either way, the amount of nutrients in the water triggers a population explosion in suspended bacteria. The unfortunate result too often is cloudy aquarium water.
The best way to reduce the problem is to:
1) Stop feeding the aquarium for three days. This allows the huge population of bacteria to use up the overabundance of its food supply. It then dies back from starvation.
No standard filter has the ability to remove these tiny organisms. They are way too small to be trapped by common filter medias. Only a diatomaceous earth filter could create a screen small enough to do that.
2) Do a water change. Assuming the water you remove is dirtier than the water used to replace it. Try never to do a water change after a heavy rain or during the spring thaw. This will help ensure the water being added is better than the water being removed.
3) After the three day fast, start a controlled feeding regimen.
Feed once a day, as much as the fish will eat in two minutes with nothing hitting the bottom or left over.
By removing the original food supply with the fast, then reducing the amount of pre-cursor wastes with the water change. The final step, proper feeding, will help eliminate the root causes of the cloudy water.
There are some preparations that will also help speed up the process of removing organic wastes. Biological water clarifier adds biological enzymes and bacteria that specialize in eliminating the cause of the problem. These can be used regularly to help overcome the original problem and prevent it in the future.
Besides these clarifiers, a great way to control the problem is to supercharge the waste reduction with bacterial augmentation.
These are not directly responsible for clearing water, but when in proper quantities these bacteria reduce wastes past the sludge stage.
They decay down to mineral components and some ash. Nothing left to dissolve into the water to feed a bacterial bloom. Treatments will speed up the removal of the liquefied wastes substantially.

Storm-crippled NYC subway creaks back into service
Source: Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York tried to resume its normal frenetic pace Thursday, getting back much of its vital subway system after a crippling storm, but was l slowed by gridlocked traffic.
Commuters lined up at Penn Station to board uptown trains at 6 a.m. Technology worker Ronnie Abraham was on one of them, hoping to get home to Harlem, a trip that is 20 minutes by train and 2 1/2 hours by bus.
"It's the lifeline of the city," Abraham said. "It can't get much better than this."

1. UNION workers are putting NYC back on its feet.
While helpless Wall Street scurries around begging for charging stations.

3. Obviously, Union workers are the best trained and motivated workers.
There is no way that a non-union (untrained) workforce could have managed this herculean feat. I know. I worked 13 years non-union and 15 years as a proud Union carpenter. The difference between the two is unbelievable. Non-Union workers are not trained (or minimally so by the ABC) while Union workers divide their time between work and classroom instruction. When I retired in IN., Union workers (carpenters) earned an AS. degree when their apprenticeship was completed.
An educated, motivated workforce could only make this happen.

Great product, but...
It's a great product, but I wish they held up longer. I've been using this item for a while now, and I've needed to purchase two pairs in the matter of one year, since the audio stopped playing on the one side. And since it's not an inexpensive piece of equipment ($50 + at a pop), again, they should hold up better.

Work well for lap swimmers!
These are by far the best underwater ear plugs for listening to your tunes. The set includes several different sizes of plugs to give you the best fit. I am a small female so I ended up using the x-small size. I have not found any plugs that work all the time, but these do a good job and the sound quality is quite good. I give a thumbs up on these and will buy them again when the time comes.

Doesn't stay in ear
Great Gift
My wife has the life proof case for here IPhone so she wanted to get a set of waterproof ear buds. As soon as she opened this set she went right to the tub to test them out. And guess what? they work great!!! I would get this set for anyone with a life proof case.

Great Waterproof Headphones
I've used these headphones about 5 or 6 times in the pool for lap swimming with the H20 waterproof iPod armband. I really like them. My only issue with these is that you have to have a swim cap to keep them in place. They have great sound quality, and inter-changeable silicone buds. They come with medium buds installed but I needed the extra small buds to be comfortable for my ears. I did find the best way to insert these so that they don't leak water is to pull up on the top of your ear and then press them inside. Works great!
Love These Headphones!!!!!
They are truly waterproof! Love them! Would buy other products!
Hicksville, NY
Great Product!
I have only used these earbuds a few times with my waterproof iPod nano from Waterfi but absolutely love the quality sounds while I'm swimming! I have swam a few miles with these earbuds in and have not had any problems. They were definitely worth the extra bucks! The varying sizes of earbuds assures a perfect fit and the cord/jack attaches perfectly to my waterproof iPod nano. I would definitely buy these again, but I don't think I will have to for a long while!

Did not last long
I used them for swimming in a pool. At first the sound seemed muffled but I attributed that to the water getting in my ears becase they do not stay in very well. Then about 3 weeks into using them the right side stopped working. I do not recommend them at all.

H2o Audio Surge
What a waste of money, tried these and the earphones do not stay in your ear even with the swim cap over them. I ended up buying the Finis bone conduction MP3 palyer and I love it, no things to stick in your ears, and no strings attached. I Purchased this after reading the reviews, and was so disappointed. However now I can swim in peace with my new Finis bone conduction mp3 player.

On third pair still fade out
I am on my third pair and all three have gone the same route first left side stops working then the right slowly fades out and then stops working. So you are left with a fairly good ear plug but no music.
Golden, CO
I use H20 Audio Surge 2.0 for swimming laps three times a week. I swim about a mile to a mile and a half. So far this pair has been a really nice headphones for me. This will be my third pair I have gotten and so for they have been the best! I know that they will not last over a year, no pair really does. That is just the way it goes with headphones that go underwater! But the sound on this pair is really nice, my last pair not so much (which were the same brand). I hear a lot of people saying about how they don't stay in their ear very well, I haven't had that problem. I just use a swim cap and tuck it all inside and it stays just fine.

Great Sound
I wish I could say great things but I use these buds because I can't seem to find anything else that is better. I swim in a pool everyday for 1 hour. That's 30 hours a month and then I need a new pair. They short out and loose volume. I just bought the sportwrap and today used it for the 2nd time. They started cutting in and out before I even got in the pool. Michael Phelps swims with this brand. That's one reason I bought them. Hmm.......wonder how long they last for him. I wish somebody could invent the earbuds that really deliver. I've also tried Finis. I took them back because they sounded cheap compared to the H2 Audio.
Good Product
I can see why some people are saying they have a hard time with them coming out. I have to use my goggles strap to keep them in my ears. As long as you use the correct size ear pieces (comes with small to XL) they stay in about 85% of the time, with goggle strap 100%. They sound really good, and it's nice to swim with music.

I have read this book and the rest of the series many times. This is just the start and they get even better.
I'll give you the blurb to start off with:
"A terrorist doesn't let strangers into her flat because they might be undercover police or intelligence agents, but her children bring their mates home and they run all over the place
The terrorist doesn't know that one of these kids has bugged every room in her house, made copies of all her computer files and stolen her address book.
The kid works for CHERUB
CHERUB agents are aged between 10 and 17. They live in the real world, slipping under adult radar and getting information that sends criminals and terrosrits to jail."
It is the winner of the Red House Book of the Year award
The book is about a boy, James, aged 11 and his younger sister. The first book mainly focuse on him. After the death of his mother James goes on a downward spiral until CHERUB pick him up. They are looking for someone who is above average intelligence and is adventurous. He fits the bill.
The rest of the story is about how James qualifies and tries to fit into CHERUB and also how he gets on in his first mission.
This is a must read for teenage boys as there aren't that many about but this is one of the best you will read. It gives you everything and more.
I'll finish with quotes from the book by readers and critics.
"Punchy, exciting, glamourous and, what's more, you'll completely wish it was true" ~ Sunday Express
No kidding, this is the funniest book I have ever read...this book is excellent from the first page to the last" ~ Christopher aged 12
Well that's it.
Any tips on how to improve my future reviews are appreciated

For us naptime may be over… along with my sanity. I never realized what a blessing this sacred time is until I faced the end of its existence. Daniel has been three for a few months now and has recently decided he is over the whole naptime ordeal.
Two weeks ago, I would have a good half hour everyday where I would catch all three of the boys sleeping so I could quickly dust, clean bathrooms, or fold laundry while watching anything other than Barney, Curious George, or Jake and the Neverland Pirates– these days I am lucky to get even five minutes, and let me tell you my bathroom has never been filthier.
The last couple weeks I have been putting Dan upstairs for "quiet time" during the time he used to nap with Frankie. Unfortunately he doesn't understand what that means and usually uses the time to break objects in his room, pull his curtains down, or sing and march to his own imaginary parade. What's even more unfortunate is that his room is right next to Frankie's- so the whole time he is up there I'm sitting downstairs holding my breath and praying he doesn't wake the whole house up.
Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my kids. They are hilarious and darling, but they are completely exhausting. I am afraid if I don't start getting some kind of break my head may explode. My very unattractive forehead vain (comparable to veins men get in their neck when angry) has made several appearances lately.
So what is the trick? Is there a way to stay sane through these non-nap years or am I SOL (not to be confused with LOL) on the quiet time situation until kindergarten?
Here are some moms enjoying naptime much more than we are at the moment:
When did your kids stop napping? How did you cope?

Rainbow market building sold
By: Stephanie Dumm, News Messenger Reporter
Seller signed confidentiality agreement on who buyer is
City staff announced during the Sept. 2 Lincoln Democratic Club meeting that the building once housing Rainbow Market had been sold earlier that day. City Manager Jim Estep told the audience that he'd heard "two hours ago" that it had been sold but didn't know who had bought the building." Fred Katz, a principal for KKP-Kim Properties, LLC, the company that owns the Rainbow Market building located at Third Street and Highway 65, wouldn't say who bought the building. "We signed a confidentiality agreement with the buyer of the building so I can't comment who the buyer is," Katz said on Friday by telephone. "We signed a purchase and sale agreement with the buyer." Katz said the buyer has the right to buy the property until Dec. 31, and will need to "do whatever studies and processes the city requires of them." The buyer "would also need to make sure the building can be used for what they're intending to use it for," according to Katz, and the buyer would need to contact the city "to get the ball rolling." The buyer has not yet contacted the city, economic and redevelopment manager Steve Art said on Tuesday morning. "I have no news to report," Art said. "The current owner has signed the sales agreement and sent it off to the buyer." The News Messenger asked Art how the city is planning to assist the buyer when it comes to any requirements the city has for the building, such as environmental studies and remodeling. "I don't know who the buyer is, and that depends on what (type of business) it is," Art said. "If it's a grocery store, really none. At this point, until I know what it is, I can't tell you what we need to do or what will happen."

PORT JEFFERSON, L.I., Aug. 19-- Two hundred and eighty-six pregnant Maine lobsters were flown to Long Island from Syracuse in an emergency airlift today and were dropped with little ceremony into maternity wards in the Long Island Sound. How many of their eggs will hatch into lobsters, however, is something that may never be known.

Why are people reading so much into the times? Ducati have no experience with the frame they are using. It was not available at the earlier tests. So they are starting from scratch whilst Honda and Yamaha at least have some previous data. The Gap to the Ducati is not a worry. I would have expected the Yamaha to be a bit closer.

Michael Cera's star is definitely rising. After making his name as in awkward teen roles in the critical favorite Arrested Development as well as this weekend's Superbad, Cera has signed to star in Youth in Revolt. The teen comedy was adapted and will be directed by Gustin Nash (Charlie Bartlett) from C.D. Payne's self-published 1993 novel about a teenager who goes to great lengths to win a girl he meets on a family vacation, reports Variety.
Variety is also reporting that director Len Wiseman has picked his next project. The man behind Live Free or Die Hard will be remaking Escape From New York, with a script by Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down). 300's Gerard Butler will play the Snake Plissken role, which was originated by Kurt Russell.
And Tarsem Singh (The Cell) plans to direct The Unforgettable, a sci-fi movie about a homicide cop who realizes not only that he isn't human, but that there is an alien war on. Originally entitled Species X, Singh will direct from a script by Kurt Sutter says The Hollywood Reporter. Sutter also wrote The Punisher sequel (official title: Punisher: Welcome Back Frank).

AÃÂ comprehensive biography of the storied defense attorney.
At midlife, embarrassed by his comfortable railroad practice so at odds with his personal beliefs, Clarence Darrow (1857–1938) took on a series of high-profile cases whose underlying political, sociological and economic issues placed him at the white-hot center of the Progressive Era. His starring role in these courtroom dramas turned him into a legend. Making elaborate use of transcripts, observers' accounts, correspondence and newspaper reports, Farrell (Tip O'Neill and the Democratic Century, 2002) chronicles Darrow's most celebrated trials in detail: the defense of labor leaders Eugene Debs and "Big Bill" Haywood; the McNamara brothers, charged with firebombing theÃÂ Los Angeles Times headquarters; homosexual thrill-killers Leopold and Loeb; Ossian Sweet, accused of murder for defending his home against a racist mob; John Scopes for teaching evolution in violation of Tennessee law; and the friends and family of Thalia Massie, on trial in Hawaii for a so-called "honor killing." These cases—including two in which Darrow, almost surely guilty, was himself tried for jury tampering—dominate the narrative, but Farrell neatly places them within the larger context of this complicated man's crowded life and practice. He covers Darrow's small-town upbringing, his brief country-lawyer career, his move to Chicago and his rise within the city's political and legal establishment. A puzzling mix of towering ego and bottomless compassion, Darrow was also an author and an in-demand lecturer who more than dabbled in politics. Also at home within bohemian circles, Darrow preferred the company of artists, professors and poets. (Edgar Lee Masters, who grew to despise him, was for a time his legal partner.) Twice-married, Darrow was also an inveterate womanizer, money grubber and shameless self-promoter who often bent the ethical code to combat what he saw as corrupt prosecutions. Farrell unflinchingly addresses these shortcomings, even as he underscores the genuine brilliance of a still-unmatched advocate for underdogs everywhere.
A warts-and-all portrait that leaves readers lamenting Darrow's private failings, while still in awe of his immensely consequential career.Copyright Kirkus 2011 Kirkus/BPI Communications.All rights reserved.
A brilliant legal strategist and dynamic courtroom attorney, Clarence Darrow is best remembered for his defense of union leader Eugene Debs in the 1894 Pullman Strike case, the 1924 Leopold-Loeb murder case, and the Scopes "monkey trial" a year later. In this new biography, Farrell (senior writer, Ctr. for Public Integrity in Washington; Tip O'Neill and the Democratic Century) claims to be a "loving revisionist" and the first to use recently released, previously unpublished Darrow correspondence to create a more accurate portrait of this complex individual. While there has been no shortage of Darrow biographies over the years, most either focus on his trials or paint him as a folk hero, glossing over or omitting his divorce, numerous affairs, and financial woes, all of which are covered in Farrell's well-researched and compelling book. VERDICT Like Andrew E. Kersten's Clarence Darrow: American Iconoclast, published in April and also boasting access to new primary materials, this book succeeds in presenting Darrow in the fuller context of his life. Here is an American legal icon who deserves two new definitive biographies. Highly recommended.--Leslie Lewis, Duquesne Univ. Lib., Pittsburgh[Page 95]. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Farrell's (Tip O'Neill and the Democratic Century) latest book is an immensely personal ode to a fearlessly progressive maverick lawyer, larger than life socialite, and fiercely independent gentleman. Darrow's financial setbacks, domestic volatility, and public scandal seem trivial when compared to his consummate performances in the dock, where his overarching articulations, witticisms, and wisdom occasionally belied deceit. Making a name for himself in a late nineteenth century Chicago plagued with crime and bloodshed, American industrialism, and the railroad boom could have set him up for life. Instead, he chose to tackle social unrest, using his intellect and eloquence in the "defense of the underdog," representing gangsters, psychopaths, and crooked politicians with miraculous, if not always just, results. Darrow was an early proponent of Civil Rights, dealing with graphic cases of related atrocities, which Farrell meticulously relays. A master of the lengthy closing argument, Darrow cited Freud and Nietzsche in his radical and dramatic courtroom speeches, none more so than the infamous Monkey Trial in which he ridiculed closed-minded religious fundamentalists in championing "academic liberty, free thought, and scientific inquiry." Though Darrow was a man who walked with kings, he never lost the common touch, and Farrell's biography finally does him justice. (June)[Page ]. Copyright 2010 PWxyz LLC

Lincoln real estate community hosts short sale workshop
By: Cheri March The News Messenger
Today's housing market might hold good deals for prospective buyers, but it can also be tricky to navigate. To clear up the confusion, some members of the Lincoln real estate community are hosting a free workshop to simplify specific situations home seekers might face, like short sales or bank-owned properties. Lincoln Realtor Audrey Oliver, along with a lender and title company, will host the workshop and a roundtable discussion at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Lincoln Arts Building at the corner of Sixth and F streets. "It's definitely a buyer's market," Oliver said. "The workshop is just a way to clarify some of the process involved (with the market)." There are 253 pre-foreclosure properties and 189 bank-owned properties in Lincoln, according to RealtyTrac, an online foreclosure tracker. The increased number of foreclosed homes can mean more options for buyers. But it can also present some unfamiliar situations, Oliver explained. "There's so much confusion about what a short sale is," she said. "A home is listed as a short sale when the owner does not have equity – when (the seller) owes more than their mortgage." Declining home value or a seller's insolvency can lead to a pre-foreclosure situation in which, even if a homeowner sells, they are still unable to pay off their mortgage. With a short sale, the lender will accept less than what is owed on the mortgage and the seller will avoid foreclosure. But alternatively, a lender might choose to foreclose, resulting in a bank-owned property, Oliver said. Properties sold as short sales or by a bank can require different financing and bank-owned homes are often sold as is. At the workshop, Oliver will discuss the steps and documents necessary to buy a home in each situation. A title company will explain the escrow process for short sales and bank-owned homes and a lender will explain what is involved with a loan on such properties, she said. Refreshments will be served and a door prize offered. As seating is limited, reservations are recommended. To sign up, call Audrey Oliver at 768-3300.

Luckily for these TV veterans life after reality cameras looks just as bright. Tia currently stars in Nickelodeon's "Instant Mom" and Tamera is gearing up for the return of talk show "The Real," alongside co-hosts Tamar Braxton, Loni Love, Adrienne Bailon and Jeannie Mai.

Vagrant Gaze: A Voice for the Homeless
Michael Rennick, a doctoral student in the Philosophy and Education program who specializes in Cultural Studies, is intensely interested in computer-mediated communications. But that isn't the reason why he constructed his web site,Vagrant Gaze. Rennick says that his web site is supplying a voice "for those of New York City who typically go unheard"--the homeless. "It's not like doing research. This project has drawn me into it rather than me choosing it. It is compelling."
Vagrant Gaze is also compelling to many people in cyberspace. It is attracting the attention of thousands of visitors per day and was chosen as one of ten "Internet Sites of the Week by Yahoo" for the first week of December 1997. More than ten thousand people have visited the site and 60 people have communicated with Rennick about how the site has profoundly impacted their lives. Rennick believes his site has become popular because of its point of view and content, rather than just its technology.
"The Internet is dominated by technological innovations--like the movie Jurassic Park--all show and no content. People really want interesting content, not just bells and whistles."
The concept is simple: Rennick gives homeless persons disposable cameras for a day and allows them to shoot whatever photographs "they deem to be important and worthy." Then, he posts these photographs onto the web site along with an interview with each homeless photographer. Rennick says that the homeless see their condition differently than others do and so they come back with photos that have special meaning to them. The camera, he feels, gives the homeless "the power to penetrate the world rather than be its object, to be part of the dialogue on homelessness rather than being left out."
"It is hoped that although these artistic expressions are fleeting in nature, they will supply each person with a sense of self-worth and value . . . " Rennick says in "What's this site all about?"
"Upon obtaining their agreement, we arrange to meet the following day at a designated time. Each participant is given $20 for their efforts. I would like to give more but cannot afford to do so without some outside funding," Rennick writes.
Rennick has become attached to some of the homeless he has interviewed. For example, there is Kevin King, whose child, Anne, died in a fire. King became a drug addict and wound up HIV positive. But he says that "I'm not goin' to give up man, no matter what man, you know. I'm going to get off these streets man, and I'm goin' to get a job . . ."
One of Rennick's reservations about the site is that it "sanitizes and cleans up homelessness" because the technology gets in the way of really understanding the condition. "But at least it allows the homeless to have a voice and an opportunity to connect and communicate with others."
John Broughton, Associate Professor of Psychology and Education, is Rennick's academic advisor. He sees his doctoral student's work as the source of a dissertation. Broughton feels that what Rennick is doing is something special--integrating technology, education, and philosophy.
Broughton believes that Rennick is asking important questions and using his web site in a philosophical discussion on homelessness. Homeless people, says Broughton, are in a unique position in America. "Are they part of our democratic system or beyond it? Are they members of our community?"

My birthday was on Wednesday (I turned 17 and my dad says I can drive his car to the prom – SCORE!), and I got about fifty billion of those little Facebook notifications of people writing on my wall to say Happy Birthday. Got a ton of tweets saying the same. And now I think I get it. Mark Zuckerberg isn't any kind of a genius who recognized the need for a comprehensive network of interpersonal connections.
Clearly he was just a guy whose birthday was perpetually forgotten.

Catwalk Session Series Work it Hairspray by TIGI
I totally love this hairspray. Approximately $18.00 in salons near you. It is worth every penny, especially hairspray freaks out there. :) You use it and give a little bit of heat and there you go, it holds instantly. Results are what you want and curls are frizz free. Try it. The formula allows superior humidity resistance and frizz control to condition the hair and add shine for a stunning result.
What is your favorite hairspray? Drop a comment and let me know so I can try it on my clients...:)
Thank you
Gisell xoxo

Customize your Cinnamon desktop with Javascript
1. Introduction
2. Javascript in Gnome and Cinnamon
We recommend you have the Cinnamon source tree at your disposal (we're gonna focus on Cinnamon, mostly, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to apply your knowledge to Gnome 3. as you'll see) so you can look at it and its' source code before starting. Reading code is just as important as writing it, and it is better to get accustomed to the way things work first. For the sake of this article, we peaked at the code on a NetBSD machine and tested the installed version on Ubuntu 11.10. The version downloaded is 1.1.3, and we recommend care if you want to use the latest git versions, because they're based on a different set of libraries.
Of course, the part in the source tree that is of interest to us is the js directory. I kinda like it, although there were voices criticizing the use of Javascript, that I can make changes to my desktop without the need to (re-)compile from source: all I need to do is log out and the changes, if correct, will be visible. But I digress - let's go back to the aforementioned js directory. You'll find four directories, named gdm, misc, perf and ui. The naming is pretty obvious, so let's see how you can play with some settings to the gdm interface. One of the first things I thought about when I first learned about Cinnamon/Gnome 3 and Javascript was ... well, that one can easily use this as an opportunity to play pranks on co-workers, significant others or friends. Let's see how to make gdm display some "1337" message, script kiddie-style, so the actual user of the computer will freak out when he or she will return to the computer. Of course, care should be taken when choosing the "victim", as we don't want this to become a bad joke. Go to /usr/share/cinnamon/js/gdm and open loginDialog.js. At line 849, you will see a message that will be shown when gdm expects the password and informs the user that he or she can also swipe their finger, hardware provided, to authenticate. The line of code looks like this:
this._promptFingerprintMessage = new St.Label({ text: _("(or swipe finger)"), style_class:\
'login-dialog-prompt-fingerprint-message'}); //line broken in two pieces for space considerations
Now, all you have to do is change the finger swiping message inside double quotes with something to your liking, like "you can swipe your finger, but it won't be of any use, d00d!" or something along the lines of. Or, you can stay in the same directory, open powerMenu.js and make it like, if the user wants to restart, gdm will ask him to no end if he/she is sure. Tip: the function is defined at line 137, and you can easily see how to create a pop-up by browsing the web or looking a few lines above.
3. Modifications to your user interface
Now that you got your feet a little wet, let's make some use of this Javascript interface. For example, I wanted to control the calendar and what it shows me. The file is ui/calendar.js and what I actually wanted was, when I clicked on the date/time on the panel, the upper part of the calendar to only show me the date (like January 23), without the year or the weekday. Upon opening the file, you will see a TODO, so if you're feeling up to it, here's one chance to help the community. Anyway, the line you need is 703, where the default format will be e.g. "Monday January 23 2012". One interesting theme for thinking is how you can alter the code so it shows "January 23rd", with exceptions like 1st or 2nd. The code for the DMdY (Day of week, Month, day, Year) is
dayString = day.toLocaleFormat(C_("calendar heading", "%A %B %d %y"));
Now it became obvious that all I need is %B and %d so I can get to the result I wanted. A logout/login later and the result is just what I wanted.
For the moment, some of the essential keys (like backspace, return, escape) are defined in ui/keyboard.js. "For the moment", because it seems the plan is to move them to libcaribou, if we believe the comment on line 24. Here's a good opportunity for you to change some of those keys, either for serious use or because you want to continue the whole prank idea we came up with earlier. You can also be interested in ui/layout.js if you have some specific need, like more than one monitor or some odd (what's odd, anyway?) work habits. ui/menu.js , for example, lets you add/remove functionality from...yes, the menu, of course, although it looks pretty complete to me. That said, it's best we let you know that this article isn't meant to give you a whole developer's tour of Cinnamon, from a Javascript point of view. It' s just meant to give you an overview and some ideas.
4. Gnome-shell
If you get the sources for gnome-shell and change to the js directory, you'll have a surprise. The layout, as well as the filenames, are exactly the same. So now, let's see some easy and interesting modifications you can perform on your panel, be it Cinnamon or Gnome 3 (gnome-shell). One of the criticisms that Gnome 3 faced when it was launched was the lack of tweaking tools. Who needs tools when you have Javascript, right? We should now go to ui/panel.js and take a look at some of the consts you'll find right at the beginning of the file. One of the most interesting lines is
const STANDARD_STATUS_AREA_ORDER = \
['keyboard', 'volume', 'bluetooth', 'network', 'battery'];
//again, broken in two for space constraints
On my system, out of the above five elements, only three make sense because I don't have a laptop, nor a Bluetooth dongle, and I use the English default keyboard layout and nothing more. In fact, on Cinnamon, one line later, you can see that the three remaining elements are actually implemented, plus Bluetooth via an if block, so I guess you'll have to import some more if you need it, and a good starting point is the gnome-shell way of doing things. Another important constant appears below, by the name of PANEL_HEIGHT, and I can only guess that the size is measured in pixels. The same settings as above, minus panel height, but for the upper area of gdm, the ones that lets you configure, among others, the sound volume or the keyboard layout, are available also in ui/panel.js. One other cool feature is that you can make your panel "hideable", meaning whenever your mouse isn't over it, it disappears, leaving you with more usable screen space (line 899+). In ui/workspacesView, line 20, you can find the definition of a constant that takes control of the maximum number of workspaces allowed. Take note of the comment below (if you're still using Mutter), because you have a hard limit of 36. Then again, 36 workspaces does seem rather much, ain't it?
5. Conclusion
Javascript is a simple language to use and learn, and what I have shown you below is only the beginning of a short exercise in programming, be it reading code or writing it. I would advise anyone that has some affinity towards programming to take chances like these, with proper backups, of course, so that if you hose your favorite UI you can always restore. But the most important thing in all of this isn't knowledge or a spiffier interface. It's all about having fun.


text: havent been around here in awhile guys. But yesterday while I was riding my crankset stopped rotating. It looked like it was moving all crooked while I was riding then it just stopped rotating. Recently me and my buddy had a 3 hour ride mud riding and our bikes were caked in mud, I have a feeling this has something to do with my bike not working. The front derailler isn't working properly and the brakes aren't either. My question is what you guys think I should do about this? Do you think my crankset needs to be replaced? Should I bring it to a bike shop to be looked at?

Comics and comic book characters have always been popular with many but have more recently broken into the mainstream in a huge way. Because of the recent rise in popularity, many kids (and "kids at heart") are taking up an interest in comic books.
The Ann Arbor District Library has fantastic Graphic Novel collections in youth, teen, and the adult sections of all 5 library branches and also offer lots of neat programming involving comics, how to create them, and info about those who do.
Tomorrow, May 7th, 2001, is Free Comic Book Day. Free Comic Book Day - the first Saturday in May each year - when participating comic book shops around the world give away comic books to anyone who comes into their stores. Check out local comic book store, Vault of Midnight, and see what you can find!
And for those busy tomorrow that can't get out to Free Comic Book Day, check out this event in June: Kids Read Comics hosted at the The Chelsea District Library and throughout the downtown business district in June.
"Kids Read Comics Convention is a totally free event that unites kids, teens, parents, teachers and librarians with professional artists and writers from the comics and animation fields. Our goal is to introduce kids to worlds of imagination while unlocking their creative impulses, and to serve that goal, the convention features:
* hands-on workshops
* panels and presentations for kids, families, and educators
* a chance for kids to meet and chat with comics and animation professionals
* the opportunity for kids to have their own art portfolios reviewed"

Lucille Ball would have loved our Adult Grand Heritage Black 50s Poodle Skirt. Each outfit includes a shirt, skirt, petticoat, belt, scarf, glasses, and bobby socks. This sweet white top has ¾ sleeves and a collar. Printed on the breast is a black and white poodle with a small silver collar. The long pink poodle skirt falls from the waist to the mid-calf. A black and white poodle patch matching that on the shirt stands at the hem, connected to the waist by a trailing white leash. Slip the black petticoat beneath the skirt to give it extra volume. The included wide black belt sits at the waist and can be reused for other outfits. Tie the black scarf around your neck and slip on the black bedazzled sunglasses for some extra class. Don't forget to wear your white bobby socks so you can Twist on at the sock hop. Wear this cute costume on Halloween and you'll be rocking out to the jukebox all night. Add on Saddle Shoes and a 50s Bracelet (sold here) for a little extra style.
