|Holyoke Sluggers take 2nd
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The Holyoke Sluggers 10-11-year-old travel baseball team earned a second-place finish in their division at a McCook, Neb. tournament Saturday, May 25.
Holyoke finished the day 2-1, beating Gothenburg, Neb. and North Platte, Neb. and falling to McCook, Neb.
"I thought we played fairly well, considering it was our first games of the year and the other teams there had already played at least eight games," said coach Ron Lock.
Members of the Sluggers baseball team who captured runner-up honors in last weekend's tournament are pictured from left, front row, manager Wyatt Sprague, Miles Sprague, Xander Speicher, Ethan Johnson, Bryan Garcia Rios and manager Jaret Peterson; and back row, coach Bruce Peterson, Mason King, Braden Anderson, Caleb Deaver, Blake Mosenteen, Trevor Peterson, Seth Watson, coach Ron Lock and manager Reid Sprague. Not pictured are Slaten Burris and coach Russ Sprague.
The Sluggers topped Gothenburg 8-6 to begin the day. As a team, Holyoke drew nine walks and had two batters reach base by getting hit. Caleb Deaver and Mason King handled pitching responsibilities, combining to allow just four hits and six walks in the game.
In the second match of the day, the Holyoke squad lost to McCook 15-7. Braden Anderson and Xander Speicher both pitched in the match, allowing two hits and 12 walks. Slaten Burris led the team with a triple and a single at the plate.
To finish the day, the Sluggers knocked off North Platte 9-3. Trevor Peterson and Blake Mosenteen combined to allow just four hits and four walks. Deaver and Mosenteen each put together two-hit performances.
The team will next compete in Sterling's tournament Saturday-Sunday, June 1-2.

Yesterday, we debated whether or not it's okay to spend $120,000 on a handbag. This is for people who think that $120,000 is a pittance! A mere pittance! (To those people – we are open to Valentine's day gifts.) If you had unlimited wealth, which one would you pick?

I don't think they are all that bad...but VT looks like they are straight out of the XFL. Last year's pro combat uni's were more tasteful.
I love the flat black helmets!!
"Its time to roll up our sleeves, put on our hard hats and go to work together"
I hate the Boise State uni's, I actually like the VT ones other than the numbers.
I am currently ****ing my roommate off because I can't get over how ugly those gray uniforms are.

Agreed, they're really cool
Where is the orange for Boise State?
Kansas Must Be Destroyed

That overhead shot with the blue, orange, and black spread through the stadium looks very cool.
Boise State's uniforms are hideous.
VT's helmet are tight. VT's offense looks as awful as BSU's uniforms.
Flat black is great, but the overall look of VT's are horrible...XFL horrible.
I don't like any of these combat jersey's at all. I love traditional jerseys. They look more like XFL or Arena football jerseys.
I dont mind them. Maybe its because i dont care but they seem alright.
UPDATE: Still hating the BSU jerseys.
Last year's Mizzouri Pro Combat jersey's were the best. The fact that they had black as one of their colors really helped. Otherwise, I think you lose some of your team spirit by wearing colors other than your own.

Dont tell that to Jukebox, you'll ruin his dream of Iowa State future pro combat jersey!!!!
I don't know about the jerseys but Boise looks like a world beater. That D-Line is dominating.

Because the skin around the eyes is so much thinner than the skin on the other areas of the face, the signs of aging often show themselves around the eyes first. NeoStrata Eye Products are specially formulated just for the delicate nature of the eyes. Anti-aging treatments that are designed for the face should never be used around the eyes. NeoStrata Eye Products are proven effective and are also absolutely safe for the eye area.
NeoStrata Eye Products address all of the common issues of the eye area such as dryness, fine lines, deep wrinkles as well as puffiness and dark circles. Puffiness results from a build up of fluid under the eyes. The problem tends to be most noticeable in the morning after waking. Dark circles result from fragile capillaries that pool blood under the eyes. The result is a heavy, dark bag like appearance that is very difficult to treat. NeoStrata Eye Products smooth and brighten the eye area to give it a more youthful appearance.
For best results, NeoStrata Eye Products should be used every day. Cumulative results will occur with non-stop use. NeoStrata Eye Products can be used with other products from NeoStrata and should be considered a vital step in a complete skin care system.
As with all of its products, NeoStrata Eye Products are formulated with high quality clinical grade ingredients which are proven to improve the condition of the skin while minimizing irritation.
NeoStrata Eye Cream – PHA 4 is a rich cream that moisturizes the entire eye area and helps to lock in vital hydration. When the eye area is properly hydrated, the tissue plumps out and appears more smooth. NeoStrata Eye Cream – PHA 4 contains gluconalactone, a gentle acid that exfoliates without causing irritation. The process encourages healthy skin cell turnover to reveal new, fresh skin that is more vibrant and even toned. Antioxidants are added in order to repair damage and protect the eye area against environmental aggressors. NeoStrata Eye Cream – PHA 4 can be used under makeup in the morning and also in the evening before bedtime.
NeoStrata Eye Cream – PHA 4 has been tested for safety around the eyes. The tube allows for controlled dosages while reducing the risk of product contamination.
NeoStrata Bionic Eye Cream tackles all of the most stubborn eye concerns including puffiness and dark circles. Vitamin K helps to strengthen capillary walls, reducing the appearance and severity of dark circles. Green tea and cucumber help to soothe the eye area and reduce under eye bags that tend to be most prominent in the morning. NeoStrata Bionic Eye Cream contains both Vitamin A and Vitamin E for unbeatable protection against damage and aging. This eye cream has been tested for safety and is absolutely fragrance free.

Just to give another heads-up feedback, I wanted to let you know I installed Zimbra 4.04 (OpenSource version) rather easy on Ubuntu 6.10 yesterday.
I did encounter the LDAP error, mentioned several times in this forum, and I got that solved by the hints given in the wiki pages:
The other two issues I had wereLDAP startup ... FAILED (256) on UBUNTU, I solved my problems with 2 changes:
1 UBUNTU by default symlinks /bin/sh to /bin/dash which does not support the 'source' command.
To fix
rm /bin/sh
ln -s bash /bin/sh
2 UBUNTU Server distro does not have a Java runtime, the certification startup
The zimbra installer requires the java runtime in the /jre directory.
Zimbra has a JRE available so simply a second symlink will solve the problem
To fix:
ln -s /opt/zimbra/jdk1.5.0_08/jre /jre
- manually stopping and starting the Zimbra suite showed an error during the startup of the spell module. It appeared the expat1 library was not installed. Using apt-get to install that piece of standard software fixed this. Should have been mentioned in one of the install guides though.
- Like others on this forum, I failed to see the statistics images. Again, some modules were missing, namely DBI and DBD::MySQL. apt-get these libraries, and now I also see the graphics.
FYI, I installed Zimbra on a VERY lightweight server, a Pentium 1,6Gh with only 256M memory and a 80Gb ATA harddisk. Not for production, but just for test and I'm surprised by the fact that I don't have much swapping going on. The whole suite seems to fit in this tiny setup and the performance (single user, I admit) is very acceptable.
So far, I have only one suggestion to enhance this product to be the Exch... killer: make the calendar function work with email clients like Evolution with CalDav or similar. Having a web based full client is great, integration with other clients would be superb. I've seen it's on the roadmap, and I already gave my vote to this feature request, but really guys, this would really rock Zimbra. Anyhow, I hope I'll be able to do some projects with Zimbra in the near future.
Warm regards, Martin

Hillman Honored As ISU Female Athlete of the Year
AMES, Iowa - Iowa State shot putter Christina Hillman capped off her2014 collegiate campaign with a thrilling performance at the NCAA Championships. Hillman captured her second NCAA title on her final throw of competition, improving her own program record.
The Dover, Delaware, native was honored again this morning, as the university named her the 2014 Iowa State Female Athlete of the Year. Hillman becomes the ninth member of the women's track and field team to receive the award.
Hillman was dominant in her 2014 campaign, winning 10 of 11 collegiate competitions with a runner-up finish at the LSU Alumni Gold meet. The Cyclone junior also took sixth at the USA Indoor Championships, finishing as the top collegian in the field.
Hillman swept the Big 12 podium, winning both the conference indoor and outdoor titles in overwhelming performances. At the NCAA Championships, she elevated her game even further, using career bests to take home the gold. Indoors, Hillman posted the farthest collegiate mark of 2014, unleashing a program record of 59 feet, 6.75 inches.
At the outdoor meet, she posted an outdoor career best, throwing a distance of 58'2". Hillman hit the mark of her final throw of competition, taking the title in a clutch, come-from-behind performance.
The now four-time first-team All-American holds the 16 farthest scoring throws in program history, also ranking at No. 5 on the all-time discus list.
At 58'2", Hillman ranks No. 22 in the world this season and is No. 7 among American athletes. She will return to the ring June 26-29 at the USA Outdoor Championships.

In Brief
News highlights from around the world
Modernism implodes
When demolition contractors implode Cincinnati's Cinergy Field on Dec. 29, they will also be striking another blow against modernism in stadium building.
Cinergy will join the Kingdome, Three Rivers Stadium, and Fulton County Stadium as the latest multipurpose stadium to fall to a blasting crew. The new Great American Ballpark is located right next to Cinergy and will take the old ballpark's place as the first thing drivers see upon crossing the Ohio River from Kentucky on I-75.
Part of the stadium came down months ago to make room for the new park's construction. Crews two years ago took down left field and center field stands. Experts say that about 1,000 blasts will level the rest of the park in 37 seconds.
Multipurpose stadiums are one-size-fits-all buildings that fans and teams grew to hate. Even though they were perfectly functional, few miss them at their demise.
Technology vs. pollsters
Many pollsters missed the GOP's surge to recapture the Senate this year, and some analysts say it's because polling is behind the times.
The problem: New technologies that hinder telemarketers also hurt pollsters.
Those "Hi, I'd like to ask you a few questions" phone surveys are central to the polling business. Yet more and more households use technology that drives cold callers away: cell phones, caller ID, voicemail, and the like. This means that crucial demographic groups are harder to reach.
These developments are less harmful to major polling agencies that work with random samples over a long time, but they do cramp instant polls, state polls, and pollsters with small budgets.
Pollsters have found the public less and less responsive to polls over the last decade. Technology only adds to this mix. A rising concern for pollsters is households that use only cell phones and no landlines. | Chris Stamper
Seating showdown
Stadium seating discriminates. That's what a federal court ruled in a case against AMC Entertainment. U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper ruled that movie theaters with stadium seating violate the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Stadium seating exploded during the theater industry's building blitz of the 1990s. Kansas City-based AMC launched a 24-screen multiplex in Dallas with stadium seating that made the design standard fare for multiplexes.
AMC promoted the unobstructed view, saying that the design can "virtually suspend the moviegoer in front of the wall-to-wall screen." That's what got them in trouble.
Bill Clinton's Justice Department filed suit in 1999, claiming that wheelchair-bound patrons are denied good seats and are cramped in the first few rows. This allegedly violated Title III of the ADA.
Judge Cooper agreed: "A movie-theater owner who provides wheelchair seating only in the front rows of the auditorium deprives persons with disabilities of equal access, benefits, and services in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act."
The decision could be a nightmare for theater owners, who may face major renovations to make thousands of auditoriums with stadium seating handi-capable. Usually the good seats must be reached by climbing stairs, which may require replacement. | Chris Stamper
Salon's swan song?
Salon is sinking. The left-leaning online magazine launched as a dot-com stock during the Nasdaq bubble. But the experiment has lost $79.7 million, and has now suffered delisting from the market. Salon was intended to be the beacon of a new class of online writers--and a test of whether new media could stand up to ink-and-paper. Its slant was somewhere between The New Republic and The Nation.
Salon succeeded in attracting a cult following-and it tried to reach those readers with premium subscriptions costing from $18.50 to $30 a year. But Salon hasn't been able to overcome the same problem that traumatizes the entire Internet: ad sales. The strong point of Web publishing is that distribution costs are far less expensive and publication is much quicker. Yet online ads are hard to sell because buyers distrust them. So prices are low.
To keep itself above water, the site tried a curious idea called "ultramercials": A reader who clicks through a lengthy ad receives several hours of free access. (True to the "limousine liberal" label, the first sponsor was Mercedes-Benz.)
If Salon fails, it could discourage other entrepreneurs from trying large-scale Web publishing. The company's stock looks grim. Shares that once sold for over $15 in 1999 now trade for less than a dime. | Chris Stamper
False alarms
Warning! Your computer is not optimized!" Messages like this pop up constantly while surfing the Web. These fake error messages are banner ads pitching software utilities. Now a class-action complaint claims these scare tactics are illegal.
Spokane attorney Darrell Scott, who works for the Lukins & Annis law firm, filed suit against advertiser Bonzi Software late last month, seeking $500 for every American who encountered the controversial ad. Since those ads are so common, vast numbers of people might be eligible to collect damages.
The plaintiffs call the ads FUI, for Fake User Interfaces. The acronym sounds like "phooey" for a reason: The ads resemble legitimate warnings. The suit claims that millions of people were distracted from their work so their computers could be "hijacked to [the] defendants' commercial website."
The law firm's website points out specific ads. One says, "Your current connection may be capable of faster speeds." Another says, "Your computer is currently broadcasting an Internet IP address. With this address someone can immediately begin attacking your computer."
Mr. Scott claims these ads violate the users' privacy and property. The ads appear as imitations of Windows dialog boxes, including the fake "OK" button. By mimicking real system messages, the ads eventually push users to start ignoring warnings that pop up on their computers. He claims these devices made Bonzi the third-most-visited website in the world. | Chris Stamper
Is it worth the risk?
The smallpox vaccine will exit the history books soon. White House officials say that the government will direct 500,000 emergency workers and 500,000 military personnel to receive inoculations. Eventually, the government will offer inoculations to all Americans but won't encourage average citizens to have them.
Routine vaccinations against smallpox ended in the United States in 1972. About half of the population may already have some protection from the decades-old injections.
The government faces some serious issues concerning smallpox. For example, the FDA wants to test a children's vaccine dose on a trial group of a few dozen toddlers and preschoolers. But the experiment has raised safety and ethics questions: Why risk side effects if the vaccine would only help children in the unlikely event of a bioterrorist using smallpox as a weapon?
Another problem involves legal liability: What happens if people are injured or killed by the vaccine? One idea is to build a compensation fund for any victims. Another is to protect those who administer the inoculations from lawsuits. Experts estimate that 15 people will face life-threatening injuries for every million vaccinated--and one or two of those will likely die. | Chris Stamper
'Conflicting statutes'
Corinne Wilcott faces charges of fetal homicide for allegedly kicking a pregnant woman. Her lawyer claims Pennsylvania's Crimes Against the Unborn Child Act is unconstitutional.
Erie Police say the two were attending a graduation party when a fight broke out. Prosecutors contend that Ms. Wilcott attacked Sheena Carson and threatened her fetus because Ms. Wilcott's husband was the father. Ms. Carson testified that Ms. Wilcott kicked her at least twice in the stomach.
The Wilcott case could pose a challenge to fetal homicide laws, which 27 states have passed. Tim Lucas, Ms. Wilcott's attorney, claims that the fetal homicide law and legal abortion do not mesh. "There are conflicting statutes about what constitutes a human person," he said.
The state Supreme Court ruled last year that the state could use the law to prosecute cases of murder, voluntary manslaughter, and aggravated assault. Prosecutors say the law is valid and that they plan to press for the charge.
Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, said this was an ordinary case. "Criminal defense lawyers are using Roe vs. Wade to say their state laws are inconsistent with federal law and not that Roe should be overturned but that state laws should be overturned," he said. | Chris Stamper
Pro-life technology
Will virtual babies help save the lives of real babies? A new invention is going beyond ultrasound to take the next step in prenatal experience: a virtual fetus that mom can touch and feel.
This ultrasound system known as e-Touch Sono uses a special force-feedback mouse to mimic the texture of the baby's face and skin. Mom experiences the sensations by wiggling the handle of a device attached to a computer. The system also produces 3-D pictures that can be copied onto a CD-ROM.
Backers are billing the $250 procedure as a way to help mothers bond with their babies. Mothers don't actually interact with the fetus, but the simulation is supposed to be a heartwarming experience. The developers also plan to start making 3-D sculptures of unborn children for parents to have before delivery.
Conceivably, pro-life advocates could use this technology to convince expectant mothers that their fetus is human life. By feeling the baby's virtual skin, mothers considering an abortion could realize that the child is more than a blob of tissue.
The core technology, which was created by Albuquerque-based Novint Technologies, has many potential uses. E-touch lets people mimic feeling with technology. The developers say that in the future, a user might feel a sweater before buying it online or learn to repair a car with virtual reality. | Chris Stamper

Thread: Future of energy
02-02-06, 12:35 #1
So george buch wants america to be no oil imports by 2026, they are looking at hydrogen, batteries, bio fuels, ethanol, PV, wind, hydroelectric and fushion, Not Fission, america not keen after 10 mile island incidant. But no tax incentives to companys to develope or even cut the use of oil, cars still only have to do between 15 and 20MPG and money is going mostly to western farmers to grow bio fuel crops. No highier tax on oil or gas to help pay for this, So is it just a ploy by george to be seen as green, he will be well gone before this comes through. and what can the rest of teh world do, what would you like to do yourself / our country do??

We need to burn our waste for a start. Cornwall with limited space has a rubbish problem yet no one wants an incinerator that would generate electric. Devon needs to get with the program and stop fussing over wind farms we have our share.

02-02-06, 12:51 #5
so what you looking at then John. There are heat pumps and exchangers if your garden is big enough, Local wind turbines, solar heating tubes for hot water, Solid fuel boiler units that burn wood pellets and are totally automated. none of those grab your liking, or build an eco house, timber frame, lime foundations, hardwood clad, natural wool insurlation, heat circulars and exchangers. all very green and efficent.

Burning waste JD? I think i'd rather bury the stuff. I would rather the waste was landfilled and have it monitored correctly than adding to the global warming issues that we're already seeing across the globe. Anyway I'm bias as i work for this lot. (www.argus.org)
02-02-06, 12:56 #7
that is a little bit biased, and we do have a landfill problem, we are only a little country. Modern incinerators burn 95% efficent, and with a lot more recyling schemes such as wood as well as plastics and metals we could cut our landfill, but we would need a reward scheme, like home owners get tax credits for waste recyled, bins weighed before disposal, that sort of thing.
02-02-06, 12:58 #8
Having eliminated solar anything and a heat pump I'm looking at wood stoves with possibly artificial logs made from wood chippings but the ones sold locally made in Germany and I don't wish to put more trucks on the road.

You're right, Serge. I am slightly bias working for a landfill monitoring company. Even if there was a concentrated effort to move away from Landfill there would still need to be people like us about to make sure they aren't posing a threat to any one so my job would be safe, ish, for a while!!

I'n in The Industry so I guess I'm biassed BUT I think the future lies in nuclear power. It's clean and efficient, but despite an impeccable safety record in Europe it still appears to be the bogeyman" of the energy debate. The soonest the public at large learn the facts avbout nuclear power and not the spun reports fed to them by rich interest groups and tub-thumping tabloids, the better."

I thought a couple of years ago there was talk about bringing water wheels back into service and generating electrity for the community. I know that it won't help everyone but communities would become more self sufficient.

In an enormous win for downtown Chicago, Motorola Mobility Inc. is making it official, announcing July 26 that it's moving its headquarters and 3,000 high-tech jobs to the city's Merchandise Mart building.
The job shift is the largest single employment influx for the city in many decades, and perhaps ever. It caps with an exclamation point a recent return of suburban companies back to the central area, in particular the trendy River North neighborhood.
The cellphone and wireless giant confirmed news first reported by Crain's Chicago Business that it will take the top four floors and the roof of the Merchandise Mart, signing a 15-year lease for 600,000 square feet.
Motorola Mobility CEO Dennis Woodside said all headquarters jobs will be moved from suburban Libertyville, Illinois, to Merchandise Mart over the next five quarters or so. The company is looking for an alternate use for its Libertyville space but has made no decisions yet, he said.
The move will cost the company, which recently was acquired by Google Inc., a whopping $300 million in relocation, construction build-out and related lease costs. But Woodside said it's worth it.
"We're competing with the best of Taipei, Seoul . . . and Beijing," he said in an interview in Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office, as the beaming mayor looked on. "In that environment, availability of the best ideas and access to your customers really matters."
The choice wasn't between Chicago and suburban Libertyville, but Chicago and Silicon Valley, Woodside indicated. The firm already has a large office in Northern California.
"This is going to be a mecca for drawing people from the greater Midwest," Emanuel said. River North is becoming "the tech campus for the city."
Motorola will receive no city tax-increment financing or other incentives for the move. The company will keep the state employment tax credits it got under a deal negotiated about a year ago. "It's essentially just an address change," Woodside said.
The 3,000 jobs figure could well grow, he said. Motorola Mobility expects to consolidate some other offices into Merchandise Mart space and add more if it is successful in releasing new products in the fast-changing market for cellphones and other wireless devices.
Both the mayor and Woodside said conversations about the move occurred as early as a year ago, around the time Emanuel took office. Those conversations involved former Motorola Mobility boss Eric Schmidt, whom Emanuel knew from his work in the Obama White House.
The physical move will begin in late winter and be completed by sometime in fall 2013. The space Motorola will get previously housed the now-defunct Art Chicago show, and Woodside said its high ceilings and good views were quite desirable.
Emanuel said the largest job announcements in recent years that he's aware of came when United Airlines moved its operations center to Willis Tower, and when Ford Motor Co. added 1,200 workers at its Far South Side assembly plant.

I can't tell you why, but I can tell you what's happening. The controller isn't properly seeing the RA encoders. The runaway is caused by the open loop this creates.

NEW MANCHESTER - Dave Smith, the new Oak Glen boys' basketball coach, believes that developing a cohesive team attitude along with a winning attitude is as important in this, his first year back at the helm is as important as the victories and losses.
Smith was successful in doing that in his first stint as Oak Glen basketball coach, so much so that his 2003-04 team went to the state Class AA tournament undefeated, but went down in its first game in Charleston. The Golden Bears finished 24-1 that season.
Smith got the head coaching job at his alma mater at a young age in 1994 and after the first couple of seasons matured into the job and found out what he feels is the important ingredient to foster a winning attitude.
Smith was hired to take over the Oak Glen boys basketball program when veteran coach Vince Gilliam retired. The Golden Bears finished with a 2-20 record last year.
Lost from that team through graduation is Jeff Hissam, Tanner Crago, Hunter Montero and Brandon Markham.
That leaves lettermen Cody Howell, Taylor Kincaid, Matt McLaughlin and David McGraw as returnees for Smith to build around. All have starting experience.
Howell, Kincaid and McLaughlin are seniors while McGraw is a junior.
Smith said the remainder of his varsity squad will consist of senior Trey Smith, the coach's son, Jakob Ford and Kyle Woodruff, both juniors and sophomores Tyler Click and Brian Congo.
The Golden Bears will have a formative front line with the 6-foot-5 Kincaid, McGraw at 6-4 and Howell at 6-3. The 5-11 McLaughlin is the Golden Bears' returning starter at point guard and is the only backcourt player with experience.
"Matt is a great leader and will be a good role model for the kids to follow," Smith said.
"This group of kids have gone through their entire high school careers without a winning record. The coaching staff has been fighting an uphill battle to develop a winning attitude in practice, but we're getting there. We want to translate that into games.''
''If we do that, then we've made progress. Yes, it feels like a rebuild, but I think we'll be competitive.''
Smith said he has been impressed with the play of all nine that are competing at the varsity level.
Junior Kyle Woodruff (6-2) has caught Smith's eye despite it being his first year out for basketball.
Smith said he's also impressed with the play of his two sophomores, Tyler Click (6-0) and Brian Congo (6-1).

Suprapubic cystostomy is a procedure to help drain the bladder (organ that collects and holds urine). A tube called a catheter, which leads out of the lower abdomen, is inserted to drain the bladder.
This procedure is done if you cannot urinate and a catheter cannot be passed through your urethra to help you urinate. The urethra is where urine passes out of the body from the bladder. Urine may not be able pass through the urethra due to:
The procedure may also be done if you need to:
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. Your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
Your doctor may do the following:
You should also talk to your doctor about your medicines. If this is not an emergency situation, you may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure. These medicines may include:
Your doctor may ask you to take certain medicines before surgery.
In the days before the surgery:
Note: These steps may not be possible in an emergency situation.
Local anesthesia may be used with or without sedation. You will not have any pain during the procedure.
After anesthesia has numbed the area, the doctor will locate the bladder using imaging tools such as
if needed. Next, a needle will be inserted through your lower abdomen and into your bladder. A wire will then be guided through the needle into the bladder to prepare the site for a catheter. A special catheter will be placed into the bladder over the wire. The catheter will be sutured in place. A balloon may be inflated to keep the catheter in place. Afterward, the opening made in the skin (called a stoma) will be covered with gauze.
10-45 minutes
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You will be given pain medicine to ease pain and soreness after the surgery.
You will either stay in the hospital overnight or go home the same day.
The hospital staff will:

Friday Afternoon News, May 25th
Accident on Business 75
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Police Department is investigating an auto accident that occurred at about 1:10 this afternoon. The accident, involving two cars, happened on Business Highway 75 in front of the Le Mars Truck Stop and Taco John's restaurant. Initial reports indicate a car was leaving the Taco John's parking lot and turned in front of the northbound car when the collision occurred. Airbags had deployed in both vehicles. Drivers of both vehicles were transported to the Floyd Valley Hospital with what was thought to be minor injuries.
Sioux City Police Searching for Sexual Assault Subject
(Sioux City) -- The Sioux City Police received three separate reports of a male subject either entering or attempting to enter residences and attempting to sexually assault two juvenile females. The report occured in the 1100 block of west 4th street. The suspect was seen performing a lewd act on the front porch of a residence. Shortly thereafter, a report came from the 2000 block of Wall Street. The suspect entered an unlocked door and assaulted a juvenile female. The third incident occured a short time later in the 2600 block of South Alice Street. The suspect attempted to assault a juvenile female. The victim screamed and the suspect fled the scene. The suspect is described as a very tall and slender African-American male. He is believed to be taller than 6 foot four inches. He was dressed in all dark clothing with his face partially covered. The Police is asking for the public's assistance with this case.
Northey Believes A Gas Tax Hike is Needed
(Des Moines) -- Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey is in agreement with Governor Terry Branstad regarding now is the time for an increase in fuel taxes to help with road and bridge repairs. Northey says "it would seem" its time for an increase. Iowa's fuel tax has not witnessed an increase since 1989. Northey says he is afraid that we're seeing our infrastructure go backwards right now, at least with the current rates. Northey says folks, ten or twenty years from now are not going to thank us if we don't do our share. Some Republicans says they're not interested in raising any taxes, including the gas tax.
Hospital Stops Delivering Babies
IDA GROVE, Iowa (AP) - A western Iowa hospital says it's getting out of the baby business.
Horn Memorial Hospital in Ida Grove says it will close its obstetrical unit on June 1. Patients expecting to deliver after that date are being given a list of nearby facilities.
The hospital board of trustees says the number of births at the hospital has been declining. Only one doctor at the hospital has been delivering babies.
Ida Grove is a city of about 2,100 residents in western Iowa's Ida County, which has around 7,100 residents. Floyd Valley Hospital Administrator Mike Donlin says the Le Mars hospital O-B unit is in good shape, but he understands how it is a struggle for some rural hospitals to maintain all of its services.
Listen here
Donlin says the Floyd Valley Hospital has a goal to have at least 100 births each year. Donlin says once a hospital makes the decision to abandon the service, it may be difficult to re-introduce that service.

Now edited to get rid of the maths completely.
I've been playing around and have found an even better method.
N.B. The neatline is the checked border. The graticule is the latitude and longitude lines.
1. Start with your map cropped to it's edges.
2. New layer, fill with a solid colour. Call layer 'Stroke'. Drag it to the bottom of your layer stack.
3. Increase canvas size to required width of neatline. (Image / Canvas Size. Relative checked, size increase in the boxes - both boxes should have the same number for a border of uniform width).
4. File / New. Size your image to 1000 px square. Fill with black (or whatever colour you want your neatline darks to be)
5. Increase canvas size by percentage: 100% in both directions. Relative checked, click any of the corner arrows. The black box will be in one of the corners of the larger canvas. Use the select tool, hold down Alt (make sure snapping is on) and drag a copy of the black box to the opposite corner so you have a chequerboard. Fill the remaining transparent pixels with white (if not already white) or whatever colour you want your neatline lights to be.
6. Save the file as a pattern (edit / define pattern). Chances are that this pattern will be suitable for any future maps you make, so you only need to make the pattern once.
7. Go back to your original image, make a new layer on the top and fill with a solid colour so it will take a layerstyle.
8. Layerstyle pattern fill with your new pattern. Use the scale slider on the pattern fill layerstyle to ensure that you have slightly more than the largest required number of divisions (check on the preview). If, for example I wanted to have 30 divisions across and 10 divisions down. I might end up with 35 and a bit checks across and 35 and a bit down. That's fine as I have at least 30 divisions. The shape of the divisions do not matter at this point, it is only the number that is important.
9. Make a new layer below the current layer and merge down to get rid of the layerstyle. (Call the new layer graticule).
10. Ctrl-T to transform and using the bounding boxes resize the chequerboard pattern so you have the required number of horizontal and vertical divisions. Make sure that the black and white checks fit exactly to the sides and corners.
11. The chequerboard pattern is going to be a bit blurry around the edges (zoom in and you will see) and we want them sharp. To do this Image / Adjustments / Posterise and drag the slider all the way to the left (value 2). Compare the first and second images to see the difference this step makes. [Midguard says] If you set the default interpolator to Nearest Neighbor, you can skip the posterization step. Preferences > General, Image Interpolation is the second option from the top. I believe it's set to Bicubic by default.
12. Use the crop tool to crop to the extents of the canvas (this gets rid of any chequerboard which is off the edge of the canvas which you can't see but will appear again if you decide to make your canvas bigger for any reason).
13. Duplicate the graticule layer (call the new layer neatline)
14. Hide the neatline layer and run a find edges filter on the graticule layer (filter / stylise / find edges). Magic wand, select the white and delete. This leaves you with a graticule with 2 px wide lines. [Midgard says] To reduce the graticule to 1px lines, right after you delete the white, use the arrow keys to nudge the selection up 1px and delete, then nudge 1px to the left and delete, then nudge it 1px down and delete. If the graticule is too overpowering, reduce the opacity of the layer.
15. Make the stroke layer active and magic wand select the solid colour, make the neatline layer active and hit delete to leave the neatline frame.
16. Using the current selection, Edit / Stroke 2 px to make the inside border of the frame.
17. Select all, Edit / Stroke 2 px (inside radio button checked) to make the outside border of the frame.

Thanks SG. The only thing I can't do is to reduce the graticule from a 2 px line to a 1 px line. There must be a way...
Looks like a real time saver, Ravs. Good stuff. I've bookmarked it ready to try at my earliest convenience.

Thanks Ramah, let me know how you get on. Aval, that method doesn't work because it contracts by 1 px on either side of the line which means you end up with only the pixels where the lines cross selected. Reducing the canvas size doesn't reduce the line width of the graticule.
To reduce the graticule to 1px lines, right after you delete the white, nudge the selection up 1px and delete, then nudge 1px to the left and delete, then nudge it 1px down and delete.
Also, if you set the default interpolator to Nearest Neighbor, you can skip the posterization step. Preferences > General, Image Interpolation is the second option from the top. I believe it's set to Bicubic by default.

Dynamic Behavior of a Spring Loaded Rotating Slider
Application ID: 14019
This model illustrates the modeling of slider motion caused by a base rotation. The motion of the slider is analyzed under various forces such as inertia force, centrifugal force, spring force and damping force.
The prismatic joint, which is used to connect the two components, is spring loaded and also includes damping effects.
The motion of the slider is compared with the analytical solution, which is also computed simultaneously using an ODE.

Music Solutions For Vintage CarsWritten by on October 1, 2009 How Stealthy Do You Want To Be?
It seems everyone's love of music has been rejuvenated by the iPod and other digital music players (DMP). Everyone's got one. And increasingly, every new car also seems to have one connected to the vehicle's audio system. Automobile manufacturers are finding ways to help you connect your Apple DMP, MP3 player or even thumb drives via USB to your factory radio. What usually takes 7 years to integrate into an automobile assembly line has taken as little as two. That is how important the iPod has become. It's not just a gadget, it's a lifestyle. So great, I have to purchase a new automobile to get it to work in the car right? Of course not. And if you own a hot rod or custom many decades old, you can still get music in the vehicle without sacrificing the classic interior look. The success of the iPod has brought about thousands of accessories to help you integrate your iPod or other music options into your vehicle.
So as you can see, there are plenty of options available for those looking to get hot rod tunes. You can go the inexpensive way but sacrifice audio quality or go high-end for better sound and more functionality. It is all a matter of what your preferences are. Good luck!

Custom Autosound has a variety of options for getting music in the car that don't require getting some 21st Century gear that you have to mount conspicuously on the dash of your 20th Century vehicle. Their Secretaudio system has been around for a few years and is comprised of a main receiver/amplifier unit, a remote and a CD changer, and can be hidden wherever you have the space. The receiver/amp offers 4 x 35 watts of power, separate bass and treble controls and four-channel RCA pre-outs for external amps. The handy RF remote doesn't require you to be in direct line with the display so the unit can be hidden. You can use it from as much as 40 feet away, and control all functions of the system as well as the 10-disc changer. A 12-foot cord from the main unit plugs into a LCD display, and a 15-foot cord connects the CD changer to the receiver. The system can be purchased complete for $489.95, or you can purchase only the main unit for $239.95. Included with the system is a flush-mount bezel for console or dash mounting. The small dimensions of the flush mount system allow you to install the LCD display almost anywhere. The LCD is accompanied by a bracket mount for easy installation in the glove box, under the dash, in the ashtray, console, or wherever you choose. Since its only 3/4-inch deep, it's especially handy for custom or street rod applications.Custom Autosound has seen the growth of the iPod market and now offers the iPod Interface that plugs into most of their head units and allows you charge and control your iPod with a direct connection. It basically plugs in between the head unit and CD changer using the eight-pin plugs so you don't have to give up one for the other. The iPod Interface also has an 1/8-inch stereo plug to allow you to use other audio input devices (satellite radio, portable CD, etc.).Because Custom Autosound makes products that can be completely concealed, they are an optimal solution for getting sound in the car. But there are plenty of other options. You can purchase an RF Remote Dock with FM transmitter. Scosche, among a slew of others, have these available. For example, the Griffin iTrip AutoPilot allows you to simultaneously charge your iPod, listen to hours of music wirelessly and, since it's RDS-enabled, you can get song info on your radio display if you have the appropriate source unit. Simply tune the adaptor to an FM station, match the station to your car radio and you are all set. The drawback to this solution is that you will have your iPod and the adaptor visible and of course sound quality will be compromised due to transmitting signals wirelessly on FM (and you'll obviously need an FM stereo).Another option is if your stereo has an auxiliary input (jack). This direct connection would be a better solution in terms of audio quality and all you would have to do is purchase an 1/8-inch mini jack from Apple. This will not charge your iPod though. The mini jack can also connect other audio input devices to your car's radio.Another type of solution is Alpine's eX-10 and Harmon Kardon's Drive and Play. Both offer wireless FM transmission and an auxiliary jack. Along with charging your iPod, these kits have a dash-mountable LCD display. The Alpine eX-10 boasts a full color 2.4-inch display. Both these units' displays emulate the menu style and general layout of the iPod to make this kit intuitive. The Alpine eX-10 can also communicate with your Bluetooth cell phone to provide you with hands-free calling. The di splays are small enough that they could be mounted in a glove compartment, for instance, so as to maintain the cosmetic integrity of your car.Similarly, you can add another type of small device that's easily concealable. And it offers a different way of transmitting your audio to your car's system. That is, you can play music via Bluetooth. The Parrot MKi9200 not only allows you to have Bluetooth telephone functions, but it gives you the ability to listen to your playlists using the A2DP protocol (for your iPod, it needs to have Bluetooth capability). View and control your playlists from the Parrot 2.4-inch LCD display and remote. If you do not have Bluetooth capability, you can connect to the Parrot using a supplied cable proprietary to the iPod. Since a few states (and many more are sure to follow) have hands-free phone regulations, a Bluetooth kit that also solves in-car audio entertainment might be a practical and necessary option.There are higher-end solutions from various mobile electronics manufacturers such as Kenwood, Alpine, Pioneer, and Clarion (just to name a few). Simply choose an AV receiver or CD Receiver with iPod or USB connectivity. The best option in this situation would be to have complete control of your iPod via the multimedia source unit (like the one you see here from Kenwood). A separate plug, located in a storage compartment, glove box, under the seat, center console (depending on where you have it installed) is all you will need to accomplish this. Once plugged in, your iPod will also charge. A double-DIN source unit (like this one from Kenwood) has all the bells and whistles but it's not exactly a stealthy option.Another way you can go is to choose a less expensive single-DIN radio and just have partial control of your iPod plus charging. The iPod would connect via a proprietary harness from the manufacturer or through USB. For example, let's take a Kenwood KDC-X493. It has a USB port on the face of the unit (right side) along with a standard 1/8-inch mini jack. You can use a cable from Apple or a Kenwood KCA-iP101 cable and receive functions such as Alphabet Search, Skip Search, Reverse Browsing, and All Random Playback directly through the head unit. Using either cable (not the 1/8-inch plug) will also charge your iPod. This option doesn't have all the features on the multimedia unit, but the smaller radio is easier to integrate and conceal. With the right custom installer you could even mount the radio on the dash and then make a custom cover on a hinge system.If you have no interest in listening to broadcast radio or CDs (and let's face it there's not a lot worth listening to these days on the radio) you can connect your iPod directly to an amp and speakers. You can get creative by integrating an active level preamp device like the JL Audio CL-RLC. That means basically it functions like a substitute radio or source unit to control the volume of your iPod. You can connect an amp on one end and your iPod on the other and the volume knob controls the sound.
You can see how simple it is in the diagram (just connect the speakers to an amp and iPod and you have music). You can install aftermarket amplifiers and speakers that disappear behind the interior panels. All you are left with is a small rotary volume knob which can be placed or disguised anywhere within arm's length in your vehicle. An aluminum volume knob is also available.In order to hook your iPod up to the JL Audio CL-RLC some sort of adapter is required. The easiest is using a RCA-to-1/8-inch stereo plug adapter but the drawback to this setup is that the iPod doesn't charge while hooked up.Another solution is to use the PAC IC-RCA2 adapter. It plugs directly into the port on the bottom of the iPod and then the RCA jacks plug into the JL Audio unit. It needs a 12-volt source and ground but this solution allows the iPod to charge. It also has a 1/8-inch plug to allow other audio devices to be used. This adapter is around $30-40 versus only a few dollars for the RCA-to-1/8-inch plug but the benefits make it worth it.Another way to use the iPod without a head unit similar to the JL Audio CL-RLC is the PAC LC1. They work in similar ways, but the JL Audio piece is a more sophisticated product. Because the LC1 doesn't have a preamp, it will only attenuate the output of the iPod. The iPod by itself might not have enough output to drive the amplifier. You're not going to get the sound you desire and will probably seek to compensate for this by increasing the gain on your amp. But doing that will very likely introduce noise to your audio system. There is a difference in the prices for the two products (the JL Audio CL-RLC is about $50-60 versus about $10-20 for the PAC LC1) but potentially an even greater difference in the overall quality of the sound.Here's a cool option we saw while shooting a feature. The head unit was mounted in the glove box and a wired remote sensor (sticking up in front of the radio) transmits the remote signal while the door is closed. A small remote IR eye mounted in the dash receives the remote signal and then transfers it to the radio. This type of set-up can be found by checking out the marine stereo applications as many of the stereos mounted in boats are hidden but can be controlled from different locations.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — After three delays, the world's tallest water slide is scheduled to open this week.
Officials at Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City, Kansas, say the public will be able to ride the Verrückt slide starting today.
The ride was originally scheduled to open on May 23, when the water park's season began. The next scheduled opening on June 5 was postponed, and a June 29 date also was delayed. Park officials have said the delays were needed to allow for more testing.
WATCH: Ride the world's most 'insane' water slide
Guinness World Records in April certified the 17-story, 168-foot-tall attraction as the tallest water slide in the world.
Riders on the Verrückt, which means "insane" in German, plummet at 60 mph to 70 mph on four-person rafts.

MORRISTOWN - The Union Local boys' basketball team resembled a MASH unit when practice began some two weeks ago.
The Jets had three potential starters sidelined with injuries sustained during the latter portion of the football season.
''We are like the walking wounded right now,'' second-year coach Vaughn Butler said. ''We've got three players injured that we were going to base our offense around.''
Those players are junior Eric Dunfee (ankle) and sophomores Gavin Porter (shoulder) and Colton McKivitz (foot).
''With those three guys out early on, it could prove to be a blessing in disguise,'' Butler said. ''It will give us three scrimmages and a number of practices without them. That gives other kids a chance to step up and show us what they can do while those guys are out.
''In the long run, that could help us immensely.''
The Jets will rely on veteran senior Jacob Bailey goes. The four-year letterwinner will be starting for the third year. He scored 304 points last season and, according to his head coach, has a legitimate shot at reaching the coveted 1,000-point plateau.
''Jacob has proved to be a real leader," Butler said. ''He is a great kid with great work habits. We need him to stay healthy in order for us to be successful. He's missed two games in each of his first three seasons.''
Bailey is also an outstanding free throw shooter, 3-point shooter and rebounder. He has been a multiple all-OVAC and all-district performer.
Porter, who was the Jets' quarterback when he separated his throwing - and shooting - shoulder.
''He's getting better day-by-day," Butler said. ''Gavin had a pretty productive freshman season for us, and we are expecting big things from him when he recovers. He's a hard worker and will help us defensively, as well.''
The 6-foot-1 Porter averaged nearly eight points an outing last season.
"He got some very valuable playing experience at the varsity level," Butler noted. "Hopefully, he can improve on that this season.''
Dunfee, a 6-0 all-around junior performer, will be counted on for some scoring and inside play on both ends of the court. He injured an ankle during the Jets' eighth game of the gridiron campaign.
McKivitz, when healthy, will give Union Local one of the top big men in the Ohio Valley. The 6-6, 240-pounder transferred to Morristown after a freshman year at East Richland Christian.
Rounding out the roster is senior Collin Jones (5-10), juniors Cody Tipton (6-2) and Clay Barnes (5-10); sophomore Bryan Bannan (6-4); and freshmen Kaleb McDiffitt (5-7) and Trenton Tipton (6-2).

Great Book-Worth the Money
By Ash
from edison, nj
About Me Bookworm
Awesome read. I've looked through many books that outline desirable journeys and places to go, but this book held a special place above the rest. Its photographs made you desire the journey, and its general outline on each trip was very helpful. It included maps, tips, and somewhat detailed descriptions. There is no such thing as a book that can describe every possible journey out there, but this one managed 500 in good detail, so I was impressed. The only thing it lacked was its layout. It WAS overall organized, but if the reader wished to search for a specific trip, they would have to head into the index. The book is organized by journey type (By water, walking, air, etc.) It is only logic, also, to do extra homework on each trip. Although this book is very detailed, I do not recommend using ONLY this book as your reference. It is smart to use other resources before embarking on one of these journeys.

How about the Lotusphere opening keynote? Wow, right?! Nothing gets you revved and ready for a conference like a live rock performance at 8am. Thanks to OK GO! (@okgo) for an excellent performance. And then round it out with some inspirational advice from Michael J. Fox (@realmikefox) -- and don't bother asking, he doesn't know where to get a hoverboard. Not to mention, all of the big announcements and news that came out of it. Thank you to YouTube user DSkiedit for putting together this 60 second recap of the opening session.
ECM In Motion
Lotusphere and Connect 2012 recap
Mia Winn 270001U2F7 email@example.com Tags:  ecm lotusphere ls12 1,850 Visits
Holey moley - are your feet tired? My feet are tired. Lotusphere and Connect had so much to offer that I found myself running back and forth -- sessions at the Swan, sessions at the Dolphin, demos in the exhibit hall, lunch at the verrrrrrry end of the long hallway, chatting all night with colleagues and customers and clients - hearing how YOU are all putting your content to work through social applications - it was amazing! Although it does feel good to sit down at a desk again, being here instead of there doesn't keep me from being social - how about you? In addition to our team's social media outlets (here on the blog, natch! and twitter @IBM_ECM), our team is excited about bringing Social Content Management and collaboration to everyone.
Did you miss a session? Tired feet couldn't keep up? Well, lucky for you, LOTS of the Lotusphere sessions are available via Livestream. Don't miss this video of Ken Bisconti, our VP of ECM Products and Strategy (@kbisconti) in a discussion with Tim Perry of Genworth Financial and Jim Engelking of Genus Technologies about what content and communities mean for YOUR business.
Ken also met with some Industry Innovators for a discussion about Social Content Management. Watch him here with John Mancini, President of AIIM (@jmancini77) and find out what it means to be social (hint: it's more than a Twitter account) and how your business should put its content in motion to gain the most value.
We hope that you had a successful Lotusphere and Connect and are as excited as we are about making your business more social and putting your content in motion. Let us know - what was your favorite part of the conference? How can IBM ECM help you meet your Social Business goals?
Social business IS our business

Joel Coen
Stars of 'Big Lebowski' Recall the Making of a Cult Classic, Consider Sequel Possibilities
When Joel and Ethan Coen first asked him to take a supporting role in The Big Lebowski as Theodore Donald Kerabatsos, the mild-mannered, oft-dismissed bowling enthusiast who succumbs to a heart attack while fighting a trio of nihilists, Steve Buscemi didn't recognize their invitation as a ticket to immortality. If anything, his gut told him to decline.
"I remember thinking that I didn't want to play this part," he says now, reunited on the stage of New York's Hammerstein Ballroom with principal members of the Lebowski cast and crew – including Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, John Turturro, Julianne Moore and musical director T Bone Burnett – to celebrate the movie's Aug. 16 premiere on Blu-ray.

The new year has arrived, and with it the promise of long-awaited sequels to The Hangover, Kung Fu Panda and Pixar's Cars, the distressing inevitability of Michael Bay's Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and the mind-numbing realization that Little Fockers sits lazily atop the box-office charts.
