How to Cope with Labor Pain
What factors affect my experiences of labor pain?Your experience of pain depends on many factors including your belief in your ability to cope with pain, what you think is necessary to remedy it, your labor environment, and your previous experience with pain. Comfort in Labor (PDF) is a free and helpful article with body positions to help you cope with labor pain.
What factors affect my choice of pain relief options?Your choice of pain relief options is limited by where you decide to have your baby. If you choose a hospital, you will have access to pain medication such as epidural analgesia, but may have very limited help with drug-free methods such as tubs, showers, and birthing balls. If you choose a birth center or a home birth, a much wider array of comfort measures and drug-free methods are likely to be available, but epidural analgesia is not available in these birth settings.
Pain medication isn't effective for everyone, just as each woman's tolerance of pain is different. And drugs have side effects that may harm you or the baby. It would be wise for you to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of all available options to manage your labor pain, so be sure to talk this over with your health care provider well before your labor begins. For more information on coping with labor pain, visit our section on Labor Pain and Labor Support. To learn about labor positions that can help to ease labor pain and help your labor to progress, start by downloading Comfort in Labor (PDF) with pictures of different labor positions.

Build It, Don't Buy It - Oil Pan ModificationWritten by John McGann on September 6, 2013 The Miscellaneous Grab-Bag
So, we've reached the end of our regular series of BIDBI write-ups, and it only seems appropriate to end with a "greatest hits" of sorts. We'll show you a quick nip/tuck we did to an ill-fitting oil pan, dip into the mail bag, and fondly recall some bits of the highlight reel from the last several months.
Reader William Baer of Braidwood, Illinois, emailed to show us his homemade transmission stand. He cut sections of 11⁄4-inch square tubing in a shape that fits a Chevrolet bellhousing bolt pattern and welded them to a piece that fits the rotating head of his engine stand. Thanks, William! We always say we have the smartest readers in the business.

Using our Millermatic 212 MIG welder, we tacked-welded the patch panels in place. Some areas needed a few bumps with a body hammer to fit the contour of the opening. The tack welds heat the metal enough to make it really compliant, so we didn't need to hammer it very hard to make it fit.We used Eastwood's throatless shear to cut patches out of 18-gauge mild steel, following a pattern created from the corners we trimmed off the pan's sump.Once word spreads that you can weld stuff, people come out of the woodwork with things that need to be fixed. A friend brought us this oil pan that didn't fit the S-10 truck frame it was going into. No worries—we've got cut-off wheels and a Diversion 180 TIG welder.TIG welding also makes for easy repairs of rust holes. This was the bottom of a door that had some small rust bubbles. We dug them out with a screwdriver and used a file to clean up the holes until we reached clean steel, then filled the holes using our TIG welder and filler wire.

As surprised as fans were to hear reports about Lil Wayne's condition following two seizures, perhaps no one as as surprised as Wayne himself.
Young Money president Mack Maine explained how hearing news about Wayne's health actually affect Weezy.
"I was actually sitting right next to him, honestly, when it happened, and his mom was in the other room, and his face dropped," said Maine on MTV's "RapFix Live." "I just saw it in his face, like, 'I can't believe that.' "
While Mack Maine, Birdman and others reported that Wayne was doing well, TMZ reported that Wayne was in dire straits, even being prepped for his last rites.
"A lot of blogs and stuff put out some foolishness, but that wasn't true," added Mack. "He has four kids. Imagine his daughter hearing that somewhere in school or something like that, so he wasn't too happy about that."
Now, Mack Maine says Wayne is happy and safe. "He's blessed, he's up, he's in good spirits, and we'd like to thank all the fans for the prayers. A lot of people reached out and showed love, but Wayne's at home, he's relaxing. He's actually been in good health for a minute. They just wanted to run a few tests on him, that's why they kept him longer than expected, but he's been good."

Germany celebrates its fourth World Cup. The Germans last won the trophy in 1990. Photo Source: ABC - WTOK
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- Mario Goetze volleyed in the winning goal in extra time to give Germany its fourth World Cup title with a 1-0 victory over Argentina on Sunday.
Goetze controlled the ball with his chest and then shot past Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero in the 113th minute.
Argentina had created more chances, but failed to really test Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer throughout the 120 minutes of regulation and extra time.
The win is Germany's first as a united country. West Germany won the World Cup in 1954, 1974 and 1990.

Losmandy Gemini guiding question - Another
Posted 29 April 2009 - 09:53 PM
So when I take images in the SE - S - SW, I really have good guiding and well aligned. Can take images for 5 min and more before the Light Polution kicks in.
But a few weeks ago I started imaging some objects in the N - NE, like M 51 and I had star trailing after 90 sec.
How or what are the steps to make to get it also well aligned in the N - NE to minimize the trailing.
I'm still working on the auto guider setup to help this guiding issue out of the way, but I just want to know why I have star trailing in the N faster then in the S.
I used the link:
which help me really well for good alignment. But North seems to be a mistery.

The Gemini polar alignment routine can get you inside one arc-minute from the pole which might solve your problem.
Posted 30 April 2009 - 09:20 PM
In an other forum, somebody explained to use more alignment stars in the N, I mean the area to be images, that might be better too, but indeed a better polar aligment is the solution.

18.104.22.168 Gemini Polar Alignment Tools / Polar Align Assist,
Looks great !!! Never did that, that will solve some of the problems I hope !
Thanks again.
Posted 01 May 2009 - 04:58 AM
Aligned around 5 stars and then did the Polar axis correction, Works great, but you have to do this a few times ! The first time I screwed up my good aligned mount, but after a few try's it got better and better.
Took a few 4 minute exposures north and south and they look really acceptable for the Meade 10", the refractor will get better results.
I will do this one more time tomorrow, because the clouds started to roll in but anyway I saw s nice fireball tonight ! Must be a blessing.
I did not use the Polar align assist, will try that option tomorrow to and see how that line up with the Polar axis correction.

Posted 01 May 2009 - 03:57 PM
Polar Align Correction works great, just remember to do it twice.
Run a normal 3 star alignment on one side of the Meridian, then have it Go-To a star ( I use the SAO Star Catalog and Go-To to get this done) very close to the Meridian & Equator intersection, closer the better. Then do the Correction. Now go back to the 3 stars ( using Align, Go to Bright Star funtion) and just do a sync with each of them after you center them in the crosshair.
Then do the same Correction routine (same SAO Star) again and repeat the sync on the 3 stars as before. This will take about 5-6 minutes and you will have a very close Polar Alignment with little or no drift over many hours.
You can then do more Star Alignments on the other side of the Meridian if you wish, this will give you great Go-To for all the sky.

I'm really happy that this is solved.

Making "Back to School" Healthy and Gluten Free for Children with Celiac Disease
For families of children with celiac disease, the excitement of a new school year can be tempered by uncertainty. Parents, health care providers, and school staff all play important roles in the planning—and team approach—needed to ensure children stay healthy and gluten free at school.
Physicians can provide valuable advice and guidance to school staff members who may be unfamiliar with celiac disease. A letter or phone call from a physician to the school principal or nurse can explain what celiac disease is and discuss a child's special dietary needs. Physicians also can encourage families to make regular follow-up appointments during the school year to help parents make sure children are maintaining gluten-free diets and staying healthy. More information about how health care providers can help is available at www.celiac.nih.gov/BacktoSchool.aspx.
Parents can also work with school personnel—classroom teachers, the principal, the school nurse, and the cafeteria manager—to ensure that requisite staff are aware of the student's needs. Although in-person visits may not be possible during the hectic first weeks of school year planning, letters or prepared notes can explain the important steps in maintaining a gluten-free school environment. Celiac support groups provide sample letters that parents can give to teachers, principals, and other key school staff members. Sample letters and other back-to-school resources are available at the Celiac Support Association's Getting Along at School .
School personnel need to be made aware that "gluten free" is not limited to cafeteria meals or classroom snacks; gluten is also found in nonfood items including popular brands of clay, crayons, pastes, and paints. A discussion of school activities that may expose a child to gluten is at www.gluten.net .

Testimony :: Colonel Stephen R. Norton (U.S. Army, Ret.)
Senior Policy Advisor - Western Policy Center
Cyprus is a deceptively serene island snuggled in the eastern Mediterranean near Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon, with a lugubrious modern history that has caused significant problems over the past half century for the United Kingdom, Greece, Turkey, NATO, the U.N., the U.S., and, now, the European Union.
Since 1963, three years after the U.K. granted independence to its long-held colony, Greek and Turkish interests have collided in Cyprus. The decades-old problem of Cyprus has driven a wedge between NATO allies Greece and Turkey, destabilized the eastern Mediterranean, and strained Turkey's relations with Europe. Today, the impact of Cyprus is not so much on lingering Greek-Turkish issues, but on the future politico-military orientation of Turkey. Given the many U.S. and Western interests that Turkey affects, this is a significant issue.
Containing Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, promoting stability in Afghanistan, fighting international terrorism, protecting and transporting energy resources from the Caspian Sea, ending ethnic conflict and promoting peace in the Balkans, expanding access to and influence in the central Asian states, and promoting Muslim partnership with Israel are some of the major U.S. foreign policy issues involving Turkey.
More importantly over the long term, Turkey is a prototype for modernity for other Islamic countries, providing hope and replacing the negative, repressive, xenophobic environment that has developed in some Islamic countries, where hatred, fear, and ignorance are grist for recruiting young people as terrorists. Moderate states, such as Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Pakistan, could greatly benefit by following the Turkish model—as long as the Turkish model works.
From a U.S. and Western point of view, Turkey can best protect and promote all these interests by becoming a more politically stable and socially cohesive country. The danger is that Turkey's future Western orientation is neither predictable nor certain.
The single most important long-term threat to Turkey is the rise of radical Islam, which threatens the very essence of its secular democratic nature. The answer to radical Islam is implementing essential political, legal, and economic reforms and raising the standard of living in the country.
The Turkish government has concluded that EU membership is the best way to achieve an improved economy and thus stem the threat of radical Islam. The stakes are high and failure to turn the economy around exponentially will threaten the secular democratic system in Turkey.
The conundrum that now exists in the eastern Mediterranean is that, if EU membership is approved for Cyprus before a settlement to the Cyprus problem occurs, Turkey has threatened to annex the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)." This could result in an outright political union or a mini-Turkish Economic Union. In either case, the Green Line separating the two communities would effectively become a permanent, armed, demarcation line, and Turkey's EU future would be ended. In this scenario, everyone would be a loser:
1. Without a Cyprus settlement, the Republic of Cyprus would now hold veto power over Turkey's EU membership.
2. The Turkish Army presence in Cyprus, justified in Turkish thinking by the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee, would now be viewed as an occupying force in EU territory. Turkey's improving reputation in the EU would plummet drastically.
3. Greek Cypriot hopes of seeing the bulk of the Turkish Army return to the mainland would be dashed, perhaps permanently.
4. Greek-Turkish relations would surely suffer and tensions over disputes in the Aegean could be expected to escalate.
5. NATO cohesion would be lessened at a time when the Alliance is engaged in the Balkans and in the war on terrorism.
6. Turkey would conclude that the likelihood of its gaining full EU membership had, for the foreseeable future, ended and would lessen any EU influence on Turkish actions and thinking.
7. The eastern Mediterranean would become a permanently fractious region where defense budgets and the potential for conflict would remain high. Military forces along the Greek-Turkish land border and the Green Line in Cyprus would probably be reinforced, while air and naval activities throughout the Aegean and around Cyprus would increase.
8. Finally, the idea of showcasing Turkey as a model to be emulated by non-radical Muslim states would be severely damaged. The loss of EU support funds, continued high defense expenditures, and the turmoil caused by seeking an economic niche outside the EU would combine to keep the Turkish economy in the doldrums. Instead of serving as a bridge between East and West, Turkey would become more like a frontier between the two.
From the U.S. government's viewpoint, any solution to the Cyprus problem that might also damage U.S.-Turkish relations is simply not worth it, which is why the problem has been viewed as an issue to manage and not necessarily solve. Also, until just recently, there was no particular urgency attached to the Cyprus problem.
The paradigm heretofore used to protect U.S.-Turkish relations, that of having a policy of benign neglect toward Cyprus, has changed. Now, paradoxically, an activist policy aimed at solving the Cyprus problem is the best way to protect the range of U.S. interests with respect to Turkey.
Turkey should reexamine its Cyprus policy to find alternative positions to protect its own candidacy for EU membership. A comprehensive settlement in Cyprus based on the Clerides-Denktash discussions would be the ideal solution, but it is not necessarily the most likely outcome.
Therefore, interim, but important, adjustments should be considered as well. These include:
1. Turkish acknowledgement that Cyprus will meet EU criteria and gain membership many years before Turkey does. Rather than annex the "TRNC" when this happens, Turkey should help find a way to include Turkish Cypriots in the EU process in a manner that protects its interests.
2. Redefining a successful Cyprus policy. Instead of adopting an "either/or" approach to a comprehensive political settlement, identify steps based on the "art of the possible," such as arrangements to allow the Turkish Cypriots to join the EU accession process or modifications in the international trade embargo against northern Cyprus.
3. New flexibility regarding the basic EU tenet that all citizens can move freely, with the right to acquire private property, within a member country. This greatly concerns Turkey, which envisages Greek Cypriots simply moving north, buying the "TRNC" parcel by parcel, and relegating Turkish Cypriot workers to unskilled labor and farming while Greek Cypriots become the primary entrepreneurs across the entire Cypriot republic. But this EU tenet is not absolute and arrangements—even at a transitional level—can be considered for Cyprus to assuage these fears.
4. Most promising is the prospect of a new security architecture that could be built now, to be implemented either before or after an overall political settlement is achieved. By expanding Greek-Turkish rapprochement into the military arena, this architecture could create the needed impetus to move forward on the political, economic, legal, and social dimensions of the Cyprus problem. The architecture should eliminate the offensive military capabilities on both sides; equalize Greek and Turkish mainland units in Cyprus at brigade level, about 5,000 troops or less; replace UNFICYP, the U.N. peacekeeping force in Cyprus, with a European or NATO-like unit; and put all forces in Cyprus under a single commander from a NATO country. Removing the bulk of regular Turkish Army units and disbanding the entire Greek Cypriot National Guard would allow the security focus to shift to expanded police protection of all Cypriots, which would assume greater importance in the post-settlement phase.
Keeping Turkey on the road to EU membership serves and promotes many important U.S. and allied interests. Among these are improved Greek-Turkish relations, NATO cohesion, stability in the eastern Mediterranean, increased security in Cyprus, and, importantly, strengthening Turkey's unique long-term melding of all the elements of a modern Western society with Islam.
Turkey's entry into the EU will either be helped or hindered by the manner in which Cyprus's accession is handled. It is critical to incorporate the Turkish Cypriots in this process in a way that does not hurt Turkey's two vital interests in Cyprus: first, protecting the ethnic Turkish minority and, second, ensuring that Cyprus will not be used for military bases that could threaten the Turkish mainland.
It will take compromise and adjustments on both sides of Nicosia's Green Line" to successfully negotiate Cyprus's accession to the EU in a manner that promotes regional peace, stability, and economic development —but compromise is what democracies are all about.

WASHINGTON – Holly needs to lose a few pounds. Make that six or seven pounds.
And her fitness journey has garnered a lot of interest on the Web. Not because of all the other worried pet owners struggling to help their own cats and dogs lose weight. But because of her unusual weight loss plan.
The 13-year-old feline is swimming her way to a slimmer Holly.
Her owner, Dani Lawhorne, tells ABC 7 that swimming is the only type of exercise the 20-pound cat will tolerate. She doesn't like the outdoors. She disdains cat toys. Not even the most potent cat nip will entice her to frolic.
Instead, she allows Lawhorne to strap her into a full-body life vest and guide her around a pet-sized therapy pool at Olde Towne Pet Resort in Sterling. Once a week she goes for a paddle.
And the results?
With the help of a low-fat diet, she has lost one pound in six months, which is about five percent of her body weight.
Alexandria emergency veterinarian Dr. Katy Nelson brought viewers the story to highlight the needs of overweight pets. More than half of cats and dogs are overweight or obese.
"Obesity in pets is sky rocketing the same way it is in Americans, in humans," says Nelson, better known as WTOP's Dr. Pawz.
The cardio exercise of swimming burns plenty of calories.
Although cats typically aren't swimmers, Holly is more comfortable in the water than on dry ground because the water is easy on her arthritic hind legs, Nelson says.
"It's a non weight-bearing exercise so it's easy on her joints," she says.
Now Holly's story is spreading quickly.
Photos tweeted out Wednesday, when the segment was shot, attracted the attention of People magazine, Nelson says.
And the news segment of Holly's workout has been viewed a few thousand times on ABC 7's site wjla.com.
Olde Towne Pet Resort has received phone calls from around the world, including Finland. And the site BuzzFeed.com posted the news spot online Friday morning, she says.
"It's getting a crazy response. It's awesome. I hope it keeps on growing," Nelson says.

The most important consideration in mask selection is fit. No two faces are alike, so SCUBAPRO's broad range takes individual differences into account. One basic difference in masks lies in the number of lenses. SINGLE-LENS masks remain a popular choice worldwide because they provide a broad, uninterrupted view. TWIN-LENS masks have become increasingly popular because they typically lower internal volume and are easier to clear. To increase peripheral vision and transfer more light, SCUBAPRO has incorporated side lenses into selected masks. A final consideration in mask selection is ease of clearing. Low-volume masks and models with purge valves make clearing easier, even for the less experienced diver.
This mask features a super low volume two-lens design convenient for scuba and apnea divers alike. Fits a range of face sizes, including narrow faces.
Ultra-Low volume, 2 window design
Soft high-grade silicone skirt
Easy-adjust buckles

Photo by Master Sgt. Cheresa D. Clark
Children provide free lemonade to Colorado National Guard members in Cokedale, Colo., Aug. 11, 2012. The 947th Engineer Company (Horizontal), Colorado Army National Guard, is installing culverts, cleaning ditches and repairing degraded dirt roads in the small town in southern Colorado. These repairs, in turn, will update and improve the town's infrastructure by directing storm water runoff away from building foundations, and improve the overall quality of life in the tiny town. The 35 soldiers of 2nd Platoon have been working here since Aug. 4. According to town officials, Cokedale is also a National Historic District - the only intact coal mining town in Colorado and one of a few remaining in the country - so the soldiers' work is also helping preserve history. This civil-military project is part of the National Guard's Innovative Readiness Training program. Civil-military IRT projects enhance unit training and readiness, while filling a community need that is not otherwise being met. The unit must maintain its readiness by performing realistic training, and IRT projects provide a meaningful outlet for that training and help connect National Guard units with the communities they serve.

(Sports Network) - After rallying to even their home record on the season, the St. Louis Blues kick off a five-game road trip on Sunday afternoon with a stop in Dallas to battle the Stars.
The Blues took two of three on their recent homestand, including a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. St. Louis found itself down by two goals after the first period, but got tallies from Jaden Schwartz and Kevin Shattenkirk in the middle stanza before Vladimir Sobotka and David Backes scored in the third.
Schwartz, Sobotka and Backes added an assist each for the Blues, who are 5-2-1 in their past eight and improved to 5-5-1 at home on the season. Jaroslav Halak ended with 15 saves.
"I think we still felt after the first period, if we got the next goal, we could make a game of it," said St. Louis head coach Ken Hitchcock.
St. Louis' next eight games are against teams in Pacific Division and it will visit each team of that division once on its road trip. The Blues are 6-2-1 overall on the road this season.
The Blues won't have Alex Steen for the start of the trip after placing the forward on injured reserve Saturday. He suffered an upper body injury during practice on Tuesday, the same session in which Andy McDonald sustained a knee ailment that has already landed him on IR.
Steen led the Blues with 16 points off four goals and 12 assists prior to getting hurt.
St. Louis has won its last four versus the Stars, including two straight in Dallas. The Blues picked up a 4-3 win there on Jan. 26 in the first of three meetings this season, getting 20 saves from Halak.
The Stars have lost five of their past eight and suffered their third defeat in four home games with Thursday's 5-1 setback to the Edmonton Oilers. Jaromir Jagr prevented Dallas from getting shut out by scoring with 5:55 to play.
Kari Lehtonen returned after a five-game absence due to a groin injury and yielded all five goals on 33 shots. It could have been worse, but allowed the Oilers to score just once on nine power plays.
"It was an odd night. They got a couple bounces early and the penalties didn't allow us to get back in the game," said Stars coach Glen Gulutzan.
One of those infractions came with 4:00 left when center Jamie Benn was assessed a cross-checking major and game misconduct for hitting Ryan Jones of the Oilers. Jones was on his way to the penalty box for making contact with Lehtonen and was down on the ice for a bit before heading to the bench.
Benn was fined $10,000, the maximum allowed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, by the league on Saturday.

Beautiful and healthy skin needs to start from within. Even if you are using high quality topical products, you still need to rely on proper nutrition in order for your skin cells to function properly. Poorly nourished skin can lead to all kinds of skin issues including dryness and dullness. The Perricone MD Nutriceuticals line is a collection of supplements which help boost the internal health of the body and in turn the skin which is the body's largest organ.
Even though a healthy diet is a known necessity for most, many of us have trouble getting the nutrients we need because of busy and stressful lifestyles. Perricone MD Nutriceuticals can fill in our nutrition gaps and give the body what it needs to produce healthy skin. Farming techniques have also led to fruits and vegetables with less nutritional value than crops of the past. Adding Perricone MD Nutriceuticals to your diet can help ensure you are getting the essential nutrients needed for proper cell function. Be sure to combine Perricone MD Nutriceuticals with a high quality skin care regimen for best results. Beautiful skin should involve a commitment to great care from the outside as well as the inside.
Perricone Nutriceuticals were developed from the need for healthy supplements that promote good skin. It's no secret that a healthy diet full of beneficial vitamins, minerals along with essential fatty acids is key to building healthy cells for a lean, strong body and radiant skin. A healthy diet can help fend off premature aging and disease. Unfortunately, stressful and busy lifestyles don't typically lend themselves to an ideal diet. Even under the best of intentions, most people fall short when it comes to good nutrition. Dr. Perricone believes very strongly that beautiful skin begins inside with a healthy body nourished with high quality nutrients.
Perricone MD Skin and Total Body Dietary Supplements are a targeted nutritional supplement that represent an important step in Dr. Perricone's 3-tier solution for a healthy body and radiant skin.

22nd at Pocono Raceway for the GEICO Ford Fusion, Mears
Posted by: lori on Jun 10, 2013
Tagged in: Untagged
Long Pond, PA (June 9, 2013) – After a few tough weeks, Casey Mears and his Germain Racing counterparts rallied in Dover to right the course when they recorded a 16th place finish at one of NASCAR's toughest tracks. While Dover saw them battle the Monster Mile, this week in Pocono would find them nose-to-nose with Mother Nature.
All track activities, including qualifying, were washed out on Friday, resulting in the starting field being set according to Owner Points. Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion would roll off 27th in Sunday's Party in the Poconos 400. On Saturday, Mears and crew chief Bootie Barker were featured on SPEED's Trackside Live where laughter prevailed when they participated in a fun version of the 'Newlywed Game'. Barker triumphed, scoring three points to Mears' two.
When the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series arrived at Pocono Raceway on Sunday, the inclement weather had cleared and bright sunshine and blue skies overlooked a full house. Mears started from the 27th position, but quickly began having handling issues and dropped to 29th. He made a scheduled green flag pit stop on lap 28, but lap 30 heard Mears on the team's radio frequency: "This thing won't turn at all. It's really tight into turn one." Regardless, he still managed to navigate the GEICO Ford through the field and arrive in 18th before making a second scheduled green flag stop on lap 56. He received a minor scare when on lap 93 he began to experience a heavy vibration, but it seemed to dissipate. The Germain pit crew made favorable changes during each visit to pit road, allowing Mears and his Gecko adorned racecar to keep making progress.
A debris caution on lap 126 would change the trajectory of Mears' race. Crew chief Bootie Barker ordered him to stay out rather than pitting and to take the wave-around in order to rejoin the lead lap. He then informed Mears that he would need to pit immediately after taking the green, a daring call that could pay dividends if another yellow flag waved quickly. Mears complied and restarted 29th when the race went back to green on lap 129. The next time around, the #13 GEICO Ford Fusion hit pit road for two right-side tires and fuel, leaving Mears at the tail end of the lead lap. Now all they needed was a quick caution and Barker's strategy would pay off. Almost on cue, Juan Pablo Montoya got loose underneath Matt Kenseth in the tunnel turn on lap 134, sending them both into a spin that brought out a much needed caution flag for the Germain Racing team. Barker's bold move paid off and the GEICO team was now solidly on the lead lap and back in the hunt.
Mears was eyeing the top 20 when Barker radioed to him on lap 139, "Good job, man. You get faster and faster every lap." Mears and his GEICO Ford continued to hustle and when the checkered flag brought a close to 160 laps and 400 miles of racing, he posted a 22nd place finish. Pocono is Germain Racing's eighth top 25 finish of the 2013 season.
"We struggled a little bit today, but kept working hard and eventually got fast there at the end, when it mattered. This is the first time we've raced Pocono together as a team because we've had to start and park it the last two years." Mears said. "This was a good day for us here and something to build on. We're thankful for GEICO's support because we can now run all the races. We've had two solid weeks and that's what we needed to get things back on the right path. I'm proud of everyone on this Germain team and look forward to Michigan next week. Michigan International Speedway is just down the road from Ford's corporate office, so we're hoping to put on a good show for them."
Mears and his GEICO team will next travel to the Irish Hills of Michigan for race number fifteen of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
Casey Mears and the #13 GEICO Ford Fusion will hit the track at Michigan International Speedway for the opening practice session on Friday, June 14th, at 11:30 AM (EDT). Qualifying will follow at 3:35 PM (EDT).
The Quicken Loans 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, June 16th, and it will be televised live on TNT beginning at 1:00 PM (EDT). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

Installing Shift Reprogram Kit On A 727 Torqueflite Valvebody - Shifty BusinessWritten by on February 1, 2002 Reprogramming The 727 Torqueflite Valvebody With Simple Handtools
We've all heard of adding a "shift reprogramming kit" to our ride, but what exactly does it do inside your transmission? Basically, the main purpose is to "reprogram" the flow of fluid through the valvebody for firmer shifts and improved efficiency. It's actually pretty straightforward. Depending on the manufacturer, the kit will consist of a steel plate, some springs, and, we hope, easy-to-read instructions. Commercial shift reprogramming kits are often installed primarily so the driver can "chirp" his or her tires when they hit Second gear; nonetheless, they will give quicker power transfer between gears at the expense of some driving comfort (you will know when the car has changed gears!).
The fact is, most of us are scared to get inside of our automatic trannys. Believe it or not, reprogramming a valvebody requires a couple of simple handtools and a willingness to work in a clean environment; that's it. We recently went to JW Transmissions in Rockledge, Florida, to see how the pros do it. JW is best known for their aftermarket UltraBell SFI bellhousings, but perform numerous other upgrades and modifications to all types of transmissions and converters.
Normally, a "simple" TorqueFlite reprogramming kit may cost around $40. Truth be told, you can reprogram this valvebody without even using an aftermarket kit. While these changes might not be all you'll ever need for flat-out performance, they will give you firmer shifts and you can keep the dough in your pocket. If you feel more comfortable doing so, buy the kit and this primer will give you an idea of what will be required; just be sure to follow the instructions that come with the kit, should there be any variance.
Meanwhile, Tim Greear, the valvebody technician at JW, will show us just how simple it is to modify your valvebody. This isn't rocket science; by following a few easy steps, even the novice can improve the shifts in his ride. Simply remove the valvebody from the transmission, open it up, and drill a few holes. Nothin' to it.
JW Performance offers kits for your application that vary slightly from what we have shown you. For your truck and for towing applications, order the JW Performance Heavy Duty kit (PN 50001-1). Remember to specify the year of your valvebody using the date stamp on the valvebody. If you're more performance-oriented, then the JW Performance Street-Strip kit (50002-2) is for you. Again, specify the year of the valvebody using the date stamp. Both kits get a little more in-depth, but are still quite user-friendly.

With the valvebody on the workbench, remove the 14 screws that hold the two halves together. When you've removed all of the screws, do not turn the valvebody over while you separate the two halves; otherwise, the six ball bearings inside will fall out and you'll have to put them back in the right spots. If this happens, you'll need know which ones go in the right spots or your tranny will become a big paperweight when it won't work.Just in case you did drop the balls out of your valvebody, here is a picture of their placement. They're all the same size except one, which is bigger (arrow).When the two halves of the valvebody are separated, take the half with the steel plate still attached, remove the support plate with its two screws, and lift the plate off. Then carefully drill four holes in the stock plate (arrows); the one with the pointer (upper right) is enlarged to 3/16 while the other three are opened up to 1/8 inch. After you've drilled the holes, use some sandpaper and make sure there are no burrs on the plate where you drilled. Wipe or wash the plate in parts cleaner and let it dry.Next, adjust the spring pressure on the bigger of the two springs. We had this handy gauge but while the valvebody is apart, you can measure it yourself by taking a stiff piece of noncorrugated cardboard (like from a cereal box) and cut it to 1 9/32 inch.Place the drilled plate back onto this half of the valvebody and reinstall the small support plate with the screws. Don't forget to clean the small screen filter and replace it as well; it's reinstalled before the plate gets fastened.Adjust the spring using the 3/16 Allen head bolt, with the cardboard touching the valvebody case and the spring plate (arrows). Do this while the valvebody is apart so that any physical difference in the two halves doesn't throw off your measurement.
Now your valvebody is ready to reinstall in the tranny. This picture also shows you the Park position detent arm that slides into the tranny. Once you get the valvebody in, install the 10 valvebody-to-transmission bolts to 35-inch pounds, then install the filter and pan and you're done. For additional benefit while you have the transmission apart, replace the fluid with a heavy-duty aftermarket brand and install a deep pan kit (including the new filter and lowered pickup).

Joseph S. Eubanks, Noted Baritone, Morgan State Music Professor Emeritus, Dies at 88
Joseph S. Eubanks, Morgan State University music professor emeritus and world famous singer whose bass-baritone was dubbed "The Golden Voice" by one of the 20th century's best Black singers, died May 16 of end-stage polycystic renal disease at the Gilchrist Hospice Center in Towson, Md. He was 88.
A memorial service will be at Faith Presbyterian Church in Baltimore June 9 at 3 p.m., followed by a reception.
Eubanks, a California native, was a classically-trained singer who performed internationally from the 1950s through 1989 and was known for his unique depth of expression through his sonorous bass-baritone voice.
He was born in San Jose, Calif. and raised in Oakland. His career as an accomplished, classically trained singer/performer took him around the world.
His work as a music and voice teacher spanned seven decades and, at the time of his death, he was one of the leading members of the music and arts community in Baltimore.
After serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, he earned a bachelor's degree in music from San Francisco State University. He studied voice under Lotte Lehmann, Herta Glatz, John Brownlee, and later with Todd Duncan and Dr. William Ray. Duncan, the first Black man to act in the lead role in Porgy and Bess, gave him the nickname "The Golden Voice."
In 1951, while studying at the Music Academy of The West in Santa Barbara, Calif. with the renowned soprano, Lotte Lehmann, Eubanks landed an alternate role as Jake in Porgy and Bess with the Every Man Opera Company.
At a time when African Americans were rare operatic performers and classical singers, he toured internationally with leading actors Leontyne Price, William Warfield and (then dancer) Maya Angelou throughout 72 major cities and 25 countries– including Middle East, Europe, South America and Russia, where .Eubanks was in the first American theatrical production ever to appear in the then-Soviet Union.
He appeared in nationally famous productions of Verdi's Don Carlo in which he played Phillip; sang in the title role in Moussorgsky's Boris Godunof; created the role of Sodo in the Japanese opera Ye Zuru in New York with the Harmonia Opera; performed the role of Joe in the Broadway musical Showboat at Baltimore's old Fox Theater. His interpretation of "Old Man River" became a fan favorite during concert recitals.
He was a concert soloist and performed several times with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Opera Company and was featured as guest soloist with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra Pop Concert Series.
His was devoted to teaching musical theatre, opera and classical vocal technique, according to his family. Eubanks' first teaching positions were at Prescott Jr. High School and Oakland Technical High School in the late 1940s. Rev. Ed Love hired him as minister of music at Bethel AME Church in San Francisco, a position he held until 1950.
He was hired in 1962 to teach at Morgan State, where he developed and directed the Morgan Music Theater and Urban Musical Theatre. He taught at Morgan for 23 years and is credited with training Morgan graduate/current Metropolitan Opera singer April Haines, and Hugh Carey, who developed a choir for Baltimore City at the request of the late Mayor Donald Schaefer.
Prior to joining the Morgan State faculty, Eubanks performed in summer stock theater in Lamberville, N.J. and at the Westbury Music Theater in New York. These experiences influenced his directing summer theater training programs at Morgan State for youth in 1973 –1976.
Other notable performances include concert singing and narrating at The Lyric and with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. He also sang the National Anthem in Baltimore at Orioles' World Series appearances in 1966, 1970, and 1979.
In addition to his singing career, he acted in several films and television productions including Hairspray; Homicide: Life on the Street (TV series); and The Day Lincoln Was Shot.
He was active in many community groups in Baltimore and sang on numerous occasions with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. He performed for several years in the Baltimore City Public Schools under the auspices of Young Audiences of Maryland.
Although he retired from Morgan in 1985, Eubanks continued to teach his voice students until 2013. In addition to music, he was, according to his family, an enthusiast of gardening, model trains and space travel.
Survivors include his two daughters, Karen Eubanks of New York and Leanora Eubanks of Baltimore; two grandsons of New York, Jonathan Joseph Doncker and Ali Alexander Moore; his brother, accomplished photographer, Jonathan P. Eubanks and wife, Louise Terry, of Oakland, Calif.; a niece, Paula Eubanks-Major of Castro Valley, Calif. and husband; a nephew, J. Phillip Eubanks of Fremont,Calif. and his wife; grand niece, Jasmine Eubanks and two grand nephews, pianist Alexander Major and violinist Matthew Major; and a host of other relatives, former students, friends, church members, and supporters.
Eubanks' older sister, the late Dr. Rachel Eubanks of Los Angeles, Calif., founded and directed the Eubanks Conservatory of Music and Arts in Los Angeles from 1951 until her death in 2006.
Joseph S. Eubanks donated his body to science

St. Petersburg, Florida -- For Pastor Dennis Reid, it's been a long night writing thank you notes to every single person who donated money to help Ireland Nugent.
The little girl who lost her feet in a lawnmower accident touched thousands of hearts in Tampa Bay, and she needs prayers again after another corrective surgery.
This new operation is a setback. But Ireland's pastor insists it's not a major one. Unfortunately, it's not all done yet.
USA TODAY: Safety Tips: More than 17,000 children hurt by mowers each year
We were excited to tell you about what doctors believed would be Ireland's last surgery a week and a half ago.
Her family had really hoped to have her home this weekend. But everything changed Tuesday.
Doctors discovered an area on her right leg, about the size of a quarter, where the skin grafts did not take hold, family spokesman Rev. Dennis Reid said.
They moved her into the operating room and worked on the area. The surgery apparently went well.
But now Ireland faces another operation Saturday and then next week, a new skin graft. Doctors at Tampa General Hospital have been using skin from her thighs to repair the end of her leg.
"I know she's asked a couple of times about her legs. And her primary concern was, 'What about the blood?' And what she can see is the skin grafts on top of her thighs -- she can still see that area," said Reid, pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church.
"And her mom said, 'No, we're gonna take care of that. We're gonna get you new legs.' And that seemed to suffice for her for right now."
As the family spokesperson, Pastor Reid has been keeping the public informed and said little Ireland is a trooper despite everything she's been through and has yet to endure.
Reid said Ireland is talking and playing, just like a two-year old should.
While it's rough that she'll face several more days in the hospital, we've already gotten some good news.
Doctors had planned to use a machine to help Ireland breathe after the surgery and through the night Tuesday. But well before midnight, they decided to stop using it and she is breathing on her own.
Meanwhile 50 Legs, one of the organizations helping Ireland in her recovery, is holding a fundraiser this weekend.
On Saturday, there is a charity golf tournament at Tarpon Woods Golf Club. Registration begins at 11 a.m. More information is available on 50 Legs' website.

Popular fast-fashion clothing chain Forever 21 has once again found itself in hot water for tweeting out a photo that some claim is another case of cultural appropriation. On Thursday, the L.A.-based retailer tweeted "straight outta Compton" with a a photo of a white model wearing three different T-shirts referencing the City of Compton as well as hip-hop/rap artists Ice Cube and N.W.A.
Though the tweet was quickly deleted, it wasn't long before the image made its way around the Web, eliciting an array of responses. Some were interested in purchasing the clothes:
"(@Kariinaxo) Forever 21 has all these cute WuTang and NWA shirts omg I want them all"
"(@It_Aint__ME) Ooo i want that compton shirt"
However, such comments were greatly outnumbered by those expressing disappointment and frustration over the new line, being very critical of what they viewed as the inappropriate commodification of African American culture for the sake of business and trend.
The "Statement Making Compton Tee" and "N.W.A Muscle Tee" are now unavailable on Forever 21's online retail site, though it is not certain if the controversy surrounding the T-shirts is the reason for their removal.
This is not the first time that the mega-retailer has been accused of cultural appropriation. In 2011, their "Oriental Girl" necklaces sparked a firestorm of criticism.

Alcohol Education
Alcohol Awareness & Education
Drinking and driving are a deadly combination.
The Traffic Safety Services Unit, along with officers across the agency, are dedicated to educating residents about potential dangers and consequences of illegal and unsafe uses of alcohol. There are several programs that highlight specific audiences, or components, of alcohol purchase or use. Some of these programs include:
- Sobriety Checkpoints
- Shoulder Tap Operations
- Business Compliance Checks or "stings"
- Parents Who Host, Lose the Most
Sobriety Checkpoints
The Fairfax County Police Department aggressively patrols the roadways for drunk and impaired drivers. Sobriety checkpoints are one of the tools that police use to make sure drivers are not consuming alcohol and getting behind the wheel. Along with publicity and awareness, checkpoints have proven to be effective in the fight against drunk driving. Each week, hundreds of motorists pass through checkpoints and many are screened for alcohol use.
Police also participate in a region-wide public awareness program, Checkpoint Strikeforce. Learn more at www.checkpointstrikeforce.net.
To learn more about Fairfax County Police Department sobriety checkpoints, contact the agency DWI Coordinator at 703-280-0570.
Shoulder Tap Operations
Under-age police cadets, employed by the police department, make contact with people outside of business establishments and ask them to purchase alcohol for them. If asked their age, cadets are truthful. If person chooses to purchase alcohol for the cadet, police will make charges. For more information on the use of shoulder tap operations as a means to deter underage alcohol use, contact the Traffic Safety Specialist at 703-280-0500.
Business Compliance Checks or "stings"
Under-age police cadets, employed by the police department, attempt to purchase alcohol at various stores throughout the county. If a clerk sells alcoholic products to a cadet, they are cited by police. Conviction can lead to fines for the clerk and potential loss of the ABC liquor license by the establishment. For more information about the uses of business compliance checks or "stings" as a means to deter underage alcohol use, contact the Traffic Safety Specialist at 703-280-0500.
Parents Who Host, Lose the Most
Police, working jointly with the Fairfax County Public School System and community groups, participate in this Fairfax countywide initiative to reduce underage drinking. Part of the Drug-Free Action Alliance, police educate parents about the consequences of hosting a party where under-age alcohol consumption is present.
What are the consequences of hosting a party where teen alcohol consumption is present?
What can parents do to prevent teen drinking?
What are the consequences of hosting a party where teen alcohol consumption is present?
Police remind parents that there are serious consequences for hosting a party where teen alcohol consumption is present, including:
- It is a Class 1 misdemeanor for anyone under 21 to buy, consume or possess any alcoholic beverage. Upon conviction, penalties may include:
- Fine of 500.00 (up to 2,500.00) or a minimum of 50 hours community service
- Up to 12 months in jail
- Possible expulsion from school if caught on school property, and/or possible loss of participation in all after-school activities even if caught off school property
- Additional penalties for use of a fake ID by a young adult, attempting to purchase alcohol, is loss of driver's license for up to one year
Penalties to adults hosting parties where alcohol is served include:
- $2,500.00 fine per young person provided any alcoholic beverage
- Loss of the adult's driver's license for six months, and/or up to 12 months in jail

|Snow makes for wet gutters
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
For the second straight weekend, Holyoke received more of the white stuff. Snow began falling Sunday evening totaling an inch and a half. By late Monday morning, warmer temperatures had melted most of it, leaving gutters full of water along Interocean Avenue. By Tuesday morning, most of the snow had melted off the streets leaving a little dryer condition for those traveling to downtown businesses.
