Mexican Collectibles: Harkening back to an era when no respectable soft drink would be sold in a can or plastic bottle, Lee and Nancy Chapman's "Vintage Refresco Collection" of 198 unopened Mexican soda bottles makes a nostalgic statement in their Puerto Vallarta home.
Cravings: Nopales: At first glance, there is nothing particularly exciting about this rather unattractive, prickly vegetable. And yet, the unassuming cactus, or nopal as it is known locally, packs quite the star power. Native to Mexico, it was deeply entrenched in Aztec mythology, called "the plant of life" for its ability to produce a brand-new offspring from an old, dying specimen.
A Warm Salute to Inspirational Puerto Vallarta Restaurateurs: Exemplifying the wide range of qualities required to excel in the restaurant industry, each restaurateur pictured here has contributed immeasurably to the outstanding world-class dining scene this popular resort destination enjoys.
Great Finds: Caprina Cheese Shop: Visit the dairy section of any Puerto Vallarta supermarket and you'll find a surprising selection of fine imported cheeses. But perhaps you'll be more surprised to learn that you can satisfy your craving for Brie, Camembert, feta, fontina and other unique cheeses and support the local economy at the same time!

Jogging in Paradise: Not only is Puerto Vallarta a great destination for enjoying beaches, nightlife and art, it's also the perfect place to enjoy exercising! Both early in the morning and late in the afternoon, it's quite common to see people running along the Malecon, whether on their own, as couples, in groups or with pets.
El Tuito: Small-town Charm Just an Hour Away: With the advent of spectacular restaurants such as Le Kliff and outdoor activities such as those offered at Canopy Tours Los Veranos and the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens, an increasing number of visitors and locals are stretching their boundaries and exploring all the wonders our South Shore has to offer.
Raicilla, Mexican Elixir: When listing Mexican drinks, tequila is sure to appear at the top; however, there's a new spirit that's set to beat, or at least compete closely with, tequila in terms of popularity and quality: raicilla. According to the Mexican Wine Association, raicilla is a spirited drink with a defined aroma that reminds us of the sunny and well-drained lands that give birth to the agave.
39 Vallarta Essentials: You cannot visit Paris, no matter how brief a stay, and miss the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre, or spend any time in San Francisco without succumbing to the temptation of crossing its majestic Golden Gate Bridge. Each popular world destination has its very own list of must-see/must-do items and Puerto Vallarta is no exception.
Hot Spot: El Pitillal Plaza: Thanks to modern conveniences, most of us today can tootle along major supermarket aisles and shopping centers finding just about every item we could possibly require on a day-to-day basis. This was not always the case, however, as exemplified today by the small-town charm of Pitillal Plaza.
Galeria de Ollas to Feature Miniature Pots: An unassuming thimble gives clues about the size of these exquisite miniature pots, only 1.5 inches tall, created by Mata Ortiz artist Guadalupe Gallegos.
Military Macaws: Military Macaws, or guacamayas as they are known locally, are a class of medium-sized parrots native to Mexico, Central and South America. Not quite as colorful as some of the larger members of the macaw family, the Military Macaws are equally impressive.
Refreshing Tuba: While tuba isn't indigenous to Mexico and the word doesn't come from the Spanish language, tuba is certainly part of the Malecón or beach experience in Puerto Vallarta.
Why Title Guaranty?: When you decide to buy a property you must be certain that after the sale has been completed you will be the true owner of the property. You need to be confident that no liens, encumbrances or other impediments will prevent your free use and enjoyment of the property.
Escrow; Third Party Security: When purchasing a property one of the most important issues to address for both a buyer and seller is how and under what conditions the funds will be safely transferred.
Local Artist Prepares for Upcoming Season: Preparing for the fall 2007 gallery season's opening in October, internationally acclaimed artist Laurie Chase is expanding the focus of her newest collection of canvases to capture an expanded range of locations in Puerto Vallarta and the surrounding Banderas Bay area.

I am using
FtpWebRequest to append data to a mainframe file. Each record appended is 50 characters long, and I am adding them one record at a time.
In our development environment, we do not have a mainframe, so my code was written and tested FTPing to a Windows-based FTP site instead of a mainframe. Initially, I was writing each record using a
StreamWriter (using the stream from the
FtpWebRequest) and writing each record using
WriteLine (which automatically adds a CR/LF to the end).
When we ran this for the first time in the test environment (in which we're writing to an actual MVS mainframe), our mainframe contact said the CR/LFs were not able to be read by his program (a green-screen mainframe program of some sort - he's sent me screen captures, which is all I know of it).
I changed our code to use
Write instead of
WriteLine, but now my code executes successfully (i.e no thrown exceptions) when writing multiple records, but no matter how many records we append, he is only able to "see" the first record - according to his mainframe program, there is only one 50-character record in the file.
I'm guessing that to fix this, I need to write some other line-delimiting character into the end of the stream (instead of CR/LF) that the mainframe will recognize as a record delimiter. Anybody know what this is, or how else I can fix this problem?

Comments about Sharpie Liquid Pencils:
Two of four pens (or is it pencils?) in this set don't have a consistent ink flow so writting with them is not possible without getting frustrated. Quality control issue or design flaw? Can't really tell.Hard to use for little kids since the pen needs to be held almost straight up to write, which is not how most writting utensils are generally held. Definitely a design flaw when it comes to the tip.The fact that you can wipe the gray ink completely and not leave a mark is quite impressive, though.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We're sorry to hear that these pens aren't working well for you. A member of our Customer Care Team will be in touch to see how we can help.

They might be nice if they actually work
By K
from MI
Got one of these on sale at the store-- impulse buy. As soon as I tried to use it, I understood why they were on sale: it skips and barely works. It would've been a great idea if it didn't behave like a low-end gel pen that's running out of ink-- which is what it reminded me of.
Better than I thought.
By dd
from cincinati ohio
I liked the way it flowed and the way it erased so easily. The only draw back is you can't blend it, but at the same time if you don't want to blend it's great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Unreliable pens
By Jill
from Portland, OR
These pens are horrible! The ink doesn't flow consistently, so I'm constantly having to re-write over my previous letters, which is never pretty. Sure, the ink erases, but I'm more likely to run out of erasers before I get the pen to write smoothly. Such a great concept, but it simply doesn't work.

Nice idea, but . . .
By Savannah
from Denver, CO
I was pretty excited when I saw the liquid lead pencils online. What a great idea! Liquid lead. When I received my order they were the first thing I opened. Imagine my disappointment when they didn't work! The pencil doesn't write on different kinds of paper and even when I found something it would write on, it skipped a lot when trying to use it. Great idea, execution needs improvement. I can't recommend it.

Mixed Feelings
By Gwynna
from South Dakota
The pencils were purchased with drawing in mind, however the point needs to be almost perpendicular to the page to write smoothly. The pencils write nicely as I hold them more upright for that purpose. For drawing, where I hold the pencil at more of an angle, the graphite does not flow as smoothly.I would recommend these pencils conditionally, depending on the person's intended use.

The liquid pencil does not draw smooth lines and your hand easily rubs the writing away. Better than an erasable pen but not by much. Nice thing is you never have to worry about breaking your lead or sharpening it but the choppy line quality and accidentally rubbing away your copy or drawing isn't worth the pluses.
Mistake buying this instrument
By D gar
from Buffalo, New York
Very disappointed in the writing performance of the liquid pencil because the fluidity iin writing is poor. There are frequent skips and voids as one attempts to write with this instrument and for the price one would expect a far better performance.

liquid pencils
By augie
from dallas, tx
bought these to see if they would out preform our mechanical pencils. they claim the biggest benefit to these is the lead wont break, but it takes a bit of pressure to get them rolling. Once the "lead" starts flowing they basically preform exactly like the erasable pens i had in the 90's. not a bad product for keeping notes. not so great for fine art.

All Day Snowball Project
Article Courtesy Scrapjazz.com: by Julia Sandvoss
Use your scrap stash and some simple craft supplies to create this adorable winter decoration for your home:
- aluminum bucket (found at your hardware store)
- various sizes of Styrofoam balls (available at your local craft stores)
- Bo Bunny Winter Whisper Scrapbook Papers
- Bo Bunny Double Dot Ribbons
- Doodlebug Sugar Coated Chipboard Alphabet
- Doodlebug Loopy Lou Alphabet Stickers
- Paper Salon Chipboard Tag & Alphabet
- white and aqua glitter
- glue stick or paper adhesive
- Plaid Mod Podge
- foam brush
- long pearl head and regular pins
- silver sequins (available at your local craft stores)
- wood dowel
- cardboard
- various sizes of circle punches
- ColorBox Chalk Inks
- To create the snowballs, punch 20 to 30 circles in various sizes from the patterned papers. Pin the papers onto the ball creating a circle around the center. You can add a sequin or a smaller circle or just pin them on as they are. Work your way around the ball and then start filling in until complete. An added option is to ink the edges of the circles with the ColorBox Chalk Inks for a soft edge.
- To create the glitter snowballs, use a foam brush and cover the Styrofoam ball with Mod Podge. Sprinkle glitter heavily over the snowball until coated. Shake off the excess. Pour the excess back into the glitter jar and repeat on the next ball.
- To make the sequin snowballs, use straight short pins and sequins. Pin sequins on in the same pattern as the paper circles. Work around the middle and then fill in until complete.
- To make the sign, tear a piece of cardboard to about 11" x 6". Ink the edges with ColorBox Creamy Brown ink. Add the Bo Bunny Winter Whisper paper. Next, add sequins to the snowflake centers on the paper. Ink the edges of the letters for "all" and adhere them to the sign. Edge the white chipboard tag with ColorBox Robin's Egg. Add letter stickers to spell "day". Tie a ribbon to the tag. Adhere the tag to the sign. Add Doodlebug letters to spell out "snowballs." Finally, adhere the completed sign to a wood dowel.
- Fill the bucket with Styrofoam or papers close to the top. Then add a layer of white tissue paper. Add the snowballs and stick the sign in!
- Decorate the bucket as you desire. You can add some paper, ribbons and snowflake to finish it off!
What a great decoration for this time of the year and even better, it doesn't melt!

Gene expression changes in the brain affect cognition during normal and pathological aging. Progress in understanding the cellular processes regulating gene expression networks in cognition is relevant to develop therapeutic interventions for age-related cognitive disorders. Synaptic efficacy mediating memory storage requires the activation of specific gene expression programs regulated, among others, by the transcription factor cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB). CREB signaling is essential for long-lasting changes in synaptic plasticity that mediates the conversion of short-term memory to long-term memory. CREB signaling has been recently involved in several brain pathological conditions including cognitive and neurodegenerative disorders. The β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide, which plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, alters hippocampal-dependent synaptic plasticity and memory and mediates synapse loss through the CREB signaling pathway. The fact that altered CREB signaling has been implicated in other cognitive disorders including Huntington's disease and Rubinstein-Taybi and Coffin-Lowry syndromes suggests a crucial role of CREB signaling in cognitive dysfunction. In this review paper, we summarize recent findings indicating a role of CREB and its coactivators CREB binding protein and CREB-regulated transcription coactivator in cognition during normal and pathological aging. We also discuss the development of novel therapeutic strategies based on CREB targeting to ameliorate cognitive decline in aging and cognitive disorders.

No more singing "If I Were a Boy," a source close to Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z told In Touch Weekly that queen B is expecting a baby girl. And if Beyonce's daughter is half as fierce as her mama, she'll be one tough diva.
This will be the first child for Beyonce and Jay-Z who made the news of their growing family public at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. Since then, Beyonce has been spotted all over town, not sacrificing her fashionista ways due to a growing belly -- she's still rocking stilettos.

One mechanic said it was a grounding issue in lighting system. First replaced alternator lasted 4 weeks, then voltage hit 18v. Second replacement o.k. for a week now. What is the probability of a "grounding" issue. If this is true, will it kill another alternator sooner or later? Lighting and charging are normal at present.

Venue was difficult to find,however inside it had a nice ambience. The facial was ok.the stone massage was really relaxing. Overall it was a nice experience.
The woodland spa is a very attractive,calming and the staff are very friendly. The thermal experience was wonderful especially the jacuzzi pool inaide. We also went into the quiet area, which was a pool in a room with a big wall mounted fire. Dimmed lights and calming music.we experienced the rasul and thia made our skin very smooth.i would definitely recommend the Woodland spa and hopefully visit it again when they have opened the new luxury accomadation in April.

The results I got from testing this plugin were the closest I could get to what I had in mind. I was really tired of testing out plugins that required you to have a multi-installation of WordPress (or whatever you call it), when I found a link to this one on the Contact Form 7 page. The results were pretty good overall, but I feel that it still needs more development, although it is definitely on its way to being a 5-star plugin. I will personally keep it deactivated until some flaws are corrected:
First of all, you can't add a language to a page/post unless you change the back-end language first, and I had a hard time figuring it out. I wasn't able to find this step in the installation guide either.
Second of all, the plugin isn't translated. At least the language selection should be. It's ok for the back-end to show the different languages in English, because I don't mind, but I think that the front-end users should see the selection they need in their own language. For instance, if a user needs my web in Spanish, they should see the link as "Español", or at least show some country flags to click on and then show it in the correct language. This is important especially if my web isn't in English.
Third of all, you can't select which language to show on the widget. At least it didn't work for me. Every language ".mo" file that you have uploaded will be the ones that will appear on the widget, even if they don't have a translation available; it will appear as a non-linked word. Yes, delete the ".mo" files that you won't need, that will solve the problem... But if I want my page on Spanish and Portuguese, I don't want to have to delete the English file to hide the English link.
Fourth, and most important of all, there isn't a way to translate the menus. I have seen a solution in the support forum that involved modifying the "Functions.php" file so that it would show one menu or another depending on the language selection made, which also involved having to make two separate menus. I have no problem with that, but I understand that it isn't very user-friendly for most of the administrators.
As I said, keep up the good work. The moment that these flaws are corrected, I will enable the plugin right away!
PS: This plugin works great with the Custom Permalinks plugin! Tested it out myself!

Suspected bandit shot in Alberttown confrontation
At about 1315h. yesterday, police say that two men armed with handguns entered the Wayne Beverage Paradise stall at Merriman Mall, Bourda, Georgetown. Upon seeing the men, the female owner ran and raised an alarm and a licensed firearm holder responded.
Police say that the two armed men entered a waiting motor vehicle driven by an accomplice and were tracked by the licensed firearm holder in his vehicle and who subsequently saw the getaway car at Light and Fifth Street, Alberttown.
Police say that the licensed firearm holder confronted a man who had exited the car and entered a shop in the area, during which the man pulled out a firearm and was shot to his abdomen by the licensed firearm holder. The man however managed to escape on foot, but the unlicensed .32 Beretta Pistol with 4 rounds that he had in his possession was recovered and handed over to the police.
According to the police, the injured bandit was later found at a private hospital where he is under guard. He has been identified as Dexter Lindo, 26 years, of Shell Road, Kitty.
The vehicle used by the perpetrators has been detained by the police as the investigations continue.

text: I glanced at yesterday's Pfizer board and couldn't contain my laughter. Every second message was that of Ruffturd the retard. What does a guy do on a Sunday or weekend? The welcher spends the day enclosed in his reeky cubicle shouting insults on the message board. To him, this is living life to the fullest. This is as exciting as it gets for the pervert.The peabrain wants to be seen as having class, loaded pockets and one who travels the world, but nothing could be so fallacious. The birdbrain has no life whatsoever judging by the amount of time he spends here. Having one hundred shares of Pfizer is nothing to write home about. I counted no less than twenty two different monikers used by this retard yesterday all with the intent to upgrade his messages and downgrade those he doesn't like. Talk of someone that is sick. There's really no way to describe it. Everything the fatso surreptitiously does, he accuses others of doing so as to go unnoticed. And yet, whatever this dingbat does is as plain as the useless messages he posts wasting everyone's time. The retard spends his day upgrading his numerous messages so as to give them the appearance of authoritativeness. The blockhead fools no one. He's deceitful to the core. No wonder he finds solace in his reeky cubicle. That's where he belongs.

I got a quote for my well to be drilled and they gave me a price list for a 1/2hp, 3/4hp and 1h/p pump. I thought that 1/2hp was the standard, but I'm considering 3/4hp. We have a 3800 sq.ft. house and want to install a hydrant near the garden, and I HATE low pressure in the shower. Which size would be recommended?
if it were my well matt i would choose the 3/4 hp. Check out a few sites, the internet can give u a wealth of info. www.libertypumps.com might help you out.
The size of a pump is dictated by the total dynamic head and gpm requirements of the system it will serve. The static water level in the well is involved. Also the type of well, screened or rock bore, has to be taken into account which determines the depth the pump will be set at. Then there's the pumping depth and recovery rate and then the presure you want the pump to operate at. Only after all that is known do you look for the hp needed to do the job. The reason is due tothere being two distinct parts to a pump; the wet end (pump) and the motor. Only the motor is rated in hp. BTW, location elevation above sea level is also a factor.
So with no more info than you've provided, it's anyone's guess but... your well driller/pump guy is 'selling' you if he hasn't shown you the math as to how each pump he's suggesting would fit your needs.

Re: Has anyone had recent sucess using HIPAA
I'm currently working on my first and only HIPAA medical debt that has been PIF since 2007. I have disputed this with the CRA's and sent GW after GW and this company won't budge. I sent the first HIPAA letter off a few weeks ago and the CA sent me a real generic letter and didn't include any of the info. I demanded they provide as they are required by law. At this point I decided (today) to go ahead and file a complaint with the BBB and see if that gets me anywhere. I'll wait and see what happens after that to see if I should continue with the res of the HIPAA process or not.
Good luck to you, I like reading about those that have had success with the HIPAA method.

Panetta Warns of Perils of Political Spats
Central Intelligence Agency Director Leon Panetta suggested that comments like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's recent critiques of the CIA could be detrimental to American national security, echoing criticisms of his fellow California Democrat launched in recent days by Republicans.
Mr. Panetta, a former congressman and cabinet member under President Bill Clinton, said in remarks to a foreign-policy group in Los Angeles that partisanship in Washington is as bad as he has seen in his decades in public office. When politicians in both parties "start to use these issues as political clubs to beat each other up with, then that's when we not only pay a price, but this country pays a price," he said.
Defending the agency against charges last week from Ms. Pelosi and other Democratic lawmakers that the CIA was "misleading Congress" on interrogation tactics used on suspected terrorists, Mr. Panetta criticized politicians who "focus on the past" to the distraction of spies on the frontlines.
"We are a nation at war," Mr. Panetta said. "We have to confront that reality every day. While it's important to learn the lessons of the past, we must not do it in a way that sacrifices our capability to stay focused on the present, stay focused on the future, and stay focused on those who would threaten the United States of America."
Mr. Panetta never mentioned Ms. Pelosi by name. But it was clear he was referring to the controversy stemming from Ms. Pelosi's assertion that she wasn't aware of Bush administration interrogations, including waterboarding.
The CIA has said it disclosed the use of those methods at a September 2002 briefing Ms. Pelosi attended in her capacity at the time as the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
Ms. Pelosi's office wasn't immediately available for comment Monday evening. On Friday, she maintained her position that she hadn't been told of the CIA's use of waterboarding at her 2002 briefing by CIA officials, but she softened her criticism of the CIA and turned her ire toward aides of former President George W. Bush.
"My criticism of the manner in which the Bush Administration did not appropriately inform Congress is separate from my respect for those in the intelligence community," she said.
"What is important now is to be united in our commitment to ensuring the security of our country."

$514, and should include free shipping.
Wow.. Can't beat that price. Thanks. Are they good to buy from?
Yes. But plan a couple weeks for delivery.
Edit: In the drop down menus up top, pick currency US and destination US. You need to do that to get rid of VAT.
Thanks again for all opinions.. There are a lot of different ways to go about this little project. It's interesting to hear all the different options everyone has come up with. The new components will give me a very solid and useful bike. I feel that a worn out drive train is worth replacing. I don't want to dress up the bike to much and feel 105 is the way to go. After I get this finished I'll have to send the 5900 to Trek to get the headset taken care of.
Ribble is great I upgraded to Ultegra with them. $420 or something like that for shifters and f/r derailer, it took about 10 days to get to me. Not bad considering alot of places wanted 400 just for the shifters. If your not in a hurry then Ribble is good.

Players saddened, not surprised by news of sale
As a native San Diegan, Adrian Gonzalez was a Padres fan long before he was a Padre.
Which explains why he had several reactions yesterday upon learning John Moores intends to sell the Padres.
"I've been an admirer of John since he took over," said the first baseman. "This news is sad.
"But from a fan's perspective and as a member of the community, maybe it's in the best interests of the city for him to sell the Padres. The Padres need someone who is going to dedicate himself 100 percent to the team.
"This city deserves somebody who can bring it a championship, either the Padres or the Chargers, someone who can put a challenging team on the field every season.
"I know John wanted to put a competitive team on the field every year. Last year it took a turn for the worse."
Members of the Padres family contacted yesterday praised Moores for his efforts on behalf of the club and the community but were not surprised by his first public statements that he is selling the team.
"I'm sorry it has come to a point where John has to take this action," pitcher Jake Peavy said through his agent, Barry Axelrod. "John Moores is the only owner I have known. He has always been more than fair to me."
Tony Gwynn believes the legacy of Moores' stewardship shouldn't be confined to the past season.
"Most people right now are looking at what happened here last season," Gwynn said. "But I'm not sure the Padres would still be here if it hadn't been for Moores. We didn't know where we were going until John came in.
"He's been huge. He brought a sense of family to the franchise. He built some playoff teams. There's Petco Park. Before John, there was talk that we'd become the Washington Nationals.
"The Padres are in much better position today than the day before he bought the team. I'm sitting here stunned. I know what the Padres meant to John.
"Things aren't always what they seem. No one should celebrate this news. I think it's sad that it's turned out like this."
Given recent developments – including stories in The Union-Tribune last week that the Padres had hired Goldman Sachs to handle a sale – there wasn't really a sense of surprise over Moores' decision to sell.
"Today was the first time I've heard this news for sure," manager Bud Black said. "It makes you realize all the speculation was true.
"What makes John a great owner as far as I'm concerned is that he cared beyond the player's performance and what happened on the field. He cared about the players and their families.
"And if you look at the history of his ownership and listen to the people who know everything he's done, John is off the charts. This is news that's tough to see."
Added pitcher Chris Young: "I don't know what to say. It's very interesting. John has always been great to me and my family, he's always been extremely generous.
"I know what he wanted for us. My thoughts are with him and his family. I hope for the best. I know these have been tough times."
Said reliever Heath Bell: "We all knew the possibilities and I'm not surprised. But it's a bummer, a shame. Mr. Moores was better than the owners I've had in the past. I'm kind of sad to see John go because you never know who you're going to get."
Bell echoed Gonzalez's sentiment that despite Moores'overall contributions, the Padres might benefit from Moores selling the club.

Storm heading to Capital after snowing in South
NASHVILLE, Tenn. A rare white Christmas in parts of the South was complicating life for some travelers as airlines canceled hundreds of flights, while snow was predicted for the nation's Capital and travel authorities warned of potentially dangerous roads.
The National Weather Service said the storm could bring more than 5 inches of snow to the Washington region Sunday. Meteorologist Stephen Konarik said the storm could hit the area Sunday morning and end Sunday night or early Monday. The weather service was also forecasting possible Sunday snow for the New York and Boston areas, with overnight temperatures in the 20s and wind gusts up to 30 mph.
In Nashville, some travelers who expected a smooth trip on Christmas got a rude surprise.
"We were hoping this was going to be a good day to travel," said Heather Bansmer, 36, of Bellingham, Wash.
She and her husband, Shawn Breeding, 40, had planned to return home on separate flights after a visit to Breeding's family in Bowling Green, Ky. However, Breeding's flight through Atlanta got canceled.
Now the couple planned to spend much of Christmas Day in separate airports.
"A white Christmas is not so welcome," Breeding said, as the couple stood in the lobby of the Nashville airport with their luggage in a cart.
Brian Korty at the National Weather Service in Camp Springs, Md. said travelers in the northern Mid-Atlantic region and New England may want to rethink Sunday travel plans.
"They may see nearly impossible conditions to travel in," he said. "It would be a lot better for them to travel today than it would be tomorrow."
The snow storm blanketed sections of the Midwest and hampered motorists there on Christmas Eve, before dipping south late Friday. Winter weather advisories were in effect Saturday morning from Arkansas to the Carolinas and from West Virginia to central Alabama. Much of North Carolina was under a winter storm warning.
Delta Air Lines spokesman Kent Landers said 500 weather-related flight cancellations were planned for Saturday nationwide. That included 300 of the 800 scheduled departures from the Atlanta hub.
Only a few hundred people milled about the cavernous terminals at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, many of them recent arrivals from international flights. Fliers were notified Friday when flights were pre-emptively canceled, so most passengers didn't bother to show up. Many chairs were empty, restaurants even emptier.
The arrival and departure boards for flights were awash with red "canceled" signs.
Some couldn't help but chuckle that the flights were nixed long before the first raindrop or snowflake had fallen. By noon Saturday, the weather was gloomy but the much-awaited wintry mix set to descend on Atlanta still hadn't arrived.
"They canceled hundreds of flights and there hasn't even been a drop of rain," said Stephanie Palmer, who was killing time with her friend Ibrahima Soumano as he awaited a flight to Mali. "This doesn't make sense."
Landers said Delta would decide on possible additional Sunday cancellations as the time approaches. Landers said anyone with travel plans through Boston, New York, Baltimore, Washington and Newark, N.J., on Sunday or Monday can change their flight without a penalty as long as they travel by Dec. 29.
AirTran spokeswoman Judy Graham-Weaver said Saturday that the carrier had canceled seven Saturday flights and that afternoon flights from Atlanta would be delayed because of required de-icing of planes. AirTran too offered to waive ticket-change fees for some flights scheduled for this weekend and Monday in the South and Mid-Atlantic.
The Nashville area had an inch or so of snow overnight, and roads appeared to be clear. There was also snow in northern Alabama.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to motion monitors, particularly sleep monitors useful with children suspected of being at risk for sudden infant death syndrome ("SIDS").
2. Description of the Related Art
Sleep monitors are used to detect occurrences of apnea (transient cessation of respiration), bradycardia (relatively slow heart action), and tachycardia (relatively rapid heart action) when there is some medical reason to believe that infants (or adults) are at risk for these events. A sleep monitor can also be used with infants who are suspected of being at risk for SIDS. SIDS, which affects one out of every 500 to 600 live births, is the largest single cause of death among infants less than one year of age, and accounts for 6,000 to 10,000 deaths per year in the United States.
Conventional sleep monitors measure respiration and heart action by measuring transthoracic impedance and the electrocardiogram (TTI/ECG) and are designed to sound an alarm when apnea, bradycardia or tachycardia is detected and found to persist for more than a predetermined amount of time. The measurements taken by conventional sleep monitors are electrical in nature, and require attaching electrodes to the subject's skin, usually on the chest. Wires from a control box are attached to the electrodes, and a band is wrapped around the chest to keep the wires in place during sleep. The electrodes must be attached each time the subject goes to sleep, and the band, the electrodes and the wires must be removed at the end of each sleep session. Special care must be taken to assure good electrical contact between the electrodes and the skin. Foreign matter on the skin, such as talc, can cause a faulty contact. Motion of the subject during sleep can cause electrical noise at the contacts, can cause the wires to come loose, or can cause the wires to break. In a recent study in which 182 patients were monitored in their sleep, of 30,059 recorded events (i.e., machine-indicated occurrences of apnea and/or bradycardia and/or tachycardia) 91.9% were false alarms. 68.5% of the recorded events were false alarms caused by body motion and/or loose leads, and 23.4% were other machine errors such as interpretation of a low-amplitude respiratory signal as apnea. In addition to the functional problems of using a sleep monitor, there is also the matter of cost. The rental fee for such a machine is several hundred dollars per month. Weese-Mayer DE, Morrow AS, Conway LP et al., Assessing clinical significance of apnea exceeding 15 seconds with event recording. J. Pediatrics 117:568, 1990. Also see Nathanson I, O'Donnell J, Commins MF Am Dis Child 143:476.
The invention described herein is a motion monitor which is simpler to use, more reliable, and lower in cost than what is now available. In particular, the monitor of the present invention operates without attaching leads to the human being monitored and no wires are brought into the crib or bed. In accordance with the present invention, a subject to be monitored sleeps on a mattress having an interior region (or cavity) isolated from ambient atmospheric pressure. Motion of the subject, including breathing and heartbeats, cause a change in pressure in the interior region of the mattress. A pressure transducer measures the change in pressure and generates a signal representative of a pressure change. A visual or audible signal indicates activity and/or a lack of activity and an alarm can be generated if a lack of activity persists for greater than a predetermined time period.
A monitor in accordance with the present invention includes a mattress for supporting a human, the mattress having an interior cavity isolated from and at a pressure equal to or greater than ambient atmospheric pressure, a pressure transducer in communication with the interior cavity which generates a signal representative of the pressure in the interior cavity, and an indication unit connected to the pressure transducer which presents visual and/or audible signals based on the signal generated by the pressure transducer.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a human on a mattress;
FIG. 2 is another schematic illustration of a human on a mattress;
FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of a monitor in accordance with the present invention including a mattress, a transducer, and an indication unit;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a self-inflating mattress for use in the monitor of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of an electret condenser microphone useful as a transducer in the monitor of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is sectional view of an electret condenser microphone having improved low frequency response and a housing for the microphone; and
FIG. 7 is a graph showing signals generated by monitoring a sleeping human using the monitor of the present invention.
A motion monitor as described below includes a pressure sensor, for example a mattress, on which a human rests or sleeps. A mattress to be used as a pressure sensor has a sealed interior region maintained at or above atmospheric pressure. Cardiac and respiratory actions of the human produce characteristic pressure variations in the interior region of the mattress. A transducer converts these pressure variations into electrical signals. A controller analyzes the electrical signals output by the transducer and generates status indications and alarms.
The Sensor. Cardiac and respiratory processes of either sleeping, comatose or waking humans cause various parts of the body to move and thereby undergo transient accelerations (changes in velocity). It is a fundamental principle of physics (Newton's second law of motion) that for any small particle of mass (m) to undergo an acceleration (a) there must be a net force (ma) acting on the mass. This is normally stated in the form of the equation F=ma. For a complex mass, such as a human body, in which different parts of the body are undergoing different accelerations, this law is still true, with the understanding that (m) is the mass of the entire body, and (a) is the acceleration of the center of gravity of the body.
In FIG. 1 a human 20--either an infant, toddler, adolescent, or adult--of total mass m is lying on a mattress 22 which is supported on a rigid, unmoving surface 24. The earth exerts a downward gravitational force on each small mass of the human 20, and the sum of all these forces is a single force mg 26 acting through the center of gravity 28 of the human 20. If the human 20 is motionless, then the net force on the body is zero. Thus, there is an additional force mg 30, equal and opposite to mg 26, acting on the human 20. This upward force mg 30 is provided by the mattress 22.
If the human 20 is not motionless, and its center of gravity 28 is undergoing a varying acceleration (a) then the net force on the human 20 is ma 32 rather than zero. The downward gravitational force mg 26 on the human is constant, so, for the net force on the body to be equal to ma 32, the force exerted by the mattress 22 must have two parts, the constant upward force mg 30 and a varying part ma 32.
It is a another basic principle of physics that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The three forces shown in FIG. 1 all act upon the resting or sleeping human. The downward force mg 26 is exerted on the body by the earth, and the reaction to this force is an upward force of mg exerted on the earth which is not shown here. The two other forces, mg 30 and ma 32, are exerted on the human 20 by the mattress 22, and the reactions to these forces, shown in FIG. 2, are a downward force mg 34 and a force ma 36, both exerted on the mattress 22. If the surface of the mattress 22 is airtight, and the interior region of the mattress is filled with air, then the air pressure within the mattress would vary as the force ma 36 varies. Thus, the changes in pressure in the interior region 38 of mattress 22 will give some indication of respiratory and cardiac action, without attachment of any apparatus to the human 20 being monitored. This analysis of the forces on a resting or sleeping human applies to pressure sensors other than mattresses such as sensors placed under or incorporated in the legs or a bed or crib.
In its simplest form, the mattress 22 is an airtight rectangular parallepiped having an interior region 38 filled with air. It is useful to pressurize this air in interior region 38 to slightly greater than ambient atmospheric pressure so that the mattress will hold its shape, and also so that the top and bottom of the mattress will not touch when a human 20 lies on the mattress 22. A standard inflatable air mattress used for camping is one example of mattress 22.
FIG. 3 shows a flexible tube 40 sealed to the mattress 22 and connected to the interior 38 of the mattress 22. One end of the tube 40 is connected to a transducer 44. A valve 42 may be connected to flexible tube 40 and used to pressurize the mattress 22. Before the mattress 22 is used, valve 42 is opened, a pump (not shown) is attached to valve 42 and used to pressurize the mattress (or the mattress can be inflated by blowing into valve 42), and the valve 42 is then closed. This process of pressurizing the mattress can be avoided if a self-inflating mattress is used.
Another example of mattress 22 is a self-inflating mattress 43, shown in FIG. 4. The self-inflating mattress 43 is made by filling a mattress shell 52 with open-celled foam 54 which is bonded to the interior of the mattress shell 52. The foam 54 should have a relatively low stiffness and there should be just enough foam to cause the mattress 43 to expand to its full size when there is no load on the mattress. To use the system, the valve 42 is opened for a few moments, until the mattress expands to full size. The valve 42 is then closed and the mattress 43 is ready for use. If the self-inflating mattress 43 is made with its own valve 56, then valve 56 is opened to expand the mattress and then closed. One example of a self-inflating mattress 43 is the Therm A Rest made by Cascade Designs, Inc.
The mattress used in the present monitor system may be placed on top of or below a standard mattress. Alternatively, the mattress may be used in place of a standard mattress.
The Transducer. One purpose of the present monitor system is to produce a visual or audible indication of the status of respiration and cardiac action. To provide such an indication it is useful to convert the pressure variations in interior region 38 of mattress 22 into electrical signals. The pressure variations consist of (1) a time-independent part corresponding to the force of magnitude mg, (2) a time dependent part corresponding to respiration (usually twenty to thirty repetitions per minute), and (3) a time-dependent part corresponding to cardiac action (usually in the range of eighty to ninety repetitions per minute). The sum of the time-dependent respiration part (2) and the time-dependent cardiac part (3) corresponds to the force ma 32.
One sensitive, low-noise, reliable, and low-cost pressure transducer is an electret condenser microphone (ECM) 86 shown in FIG. 5. ECMs designed for use in the audio range, i.e, 20 to 20,000 Hz, are commercially available. In order for an ECM to detect the pressure variations within interior region 38, the response range of the ECM must be extended to frequencies below 20 Hz. In general, the response of an ECM at frequencies below 20 Hz is limited by air leakage, as discussed below.
ECM 86 has a cylindrical aluminum shell 58 having an input opening 60 which permits pressure variations to reach an air space 62 in front of a flexible condenser plate 64. The aluminum shell 58 is crimped around a circular flat circuit board 80. The air space 72, between the movable plate 64 and the fixed plate 66, is connected, via two holes 70 in the fixed plate, to the air space 73 behind the fixed plate in order to prevent the motion of the flexible plate from producing a large pressure variation in the region 72. The combined region 72 and 73 is bounded by a rigid plastic shell 68 and the flexible capacitor plate 64. Shell 68 has a small hole at 78. As the permanently polarized flexible plate (the electret) 64 responds to the pressure changes in the space 62 and causes the distance between the two condenser plates to vary, the voltage between the plates will vary. The voltage between the plates is applied to the input terminal 74 of the field effect transistor (FET) 76. The output leads of the FET 76 are shown at 82. There is some leakage between the air space 62 and the combined spaces 72 and 73. If the pressure in the region 62 rises by some fixed amount and is maintained at this elevated value, then the plate 64 will initially move toward plate 66. However, as air leaks from region 62 to the regions 72 and 73 the pressure in region 72 will reach the same value as that in region 62, plate 64 will return to its original position and the voltage output to the FET will return to zero. The time required for the pressures in regions 62 and 72 to equalize depends on the leakage rate and the volume of the regions 72 and 73. For example, if a steady pressure increment is applied in region 62 and the pressure in region 72 rises to this value in about 1/10 of a second, then the response of the ECM will fall off for frequencies below 10 Hz.
The response of the ECM 86 can be extended to lower frequencies by slowing the rate at which the pressure equalizes in regions 62 and 72. This can be done either by slowing the leakage rate or by adding to the volume in regions 72 and 73. The latter method can be accomplished by an external modification to the microphone. In FIG. 6, the microphone 86 has a cylinder 90 fitted snugly over the microphone 86. A plate 92 seals the far end of the cylinder 90. The wires 96 from the field effect transistor exit through a small hole 94 in plate 92. An airtight sealant is applied in the hole 94 around the wires 96. A small hole 84 has been bored through the circuit board 80 (FIG. 5) to connect regions 72 and 73 in the microphone with region 100 (FIG. 6), thereby increasing the time required for the leakage to cause equalization of the pressures in regions 62 and 72.
An example of a combined sensor and transducer useful in the monitor of the present invention is an electronic pressure sensor of the type used in digital scales. Sensors of this type provide an electrical signal representative of the pressure exerted on the sensor. An electronic sensor of this type could be placed under one or more legs of a crib or bed or incorporated into one or more legs of the crib or bed.
The Controller. A controller 46, as shown in FIG. 3, includes a D.C. power supply for the microphone 86, data acquisition and analysis circuitry, a display and/or an alarm. Examples of a display includes bar type displays or other displays which provide an indication that the human on mattress 22 is breathing and/or has a heart rate either in real time or by an indicator which stays lit as long as signals are received from transducer 44 within a predetermined time. Likewise an audible alarm could be set to go off if signals corresponding to breathing and/or heart beats are not received within a predetermined time. Controller 46 could be attached to the side or end of the crib. Additional displays 48 and alarms 50 can be located remotely for example, in other parts of a home. The connection between the controller 46 and the remote units 48 and 50 can be hardwired or wireless. The electrical signals output by ECM 86 reach controller 46 via wires 45. If it is desired to digitize this signal an analog to digital converter (ADC) can be connected to the output of ECM 86. Although a variety of sophisticated signal processing techniques could be applied to the signal, for example, to determine the pulse and respiration rates, a much simpler procedure might be more suitable for home monitoring. One could use the incoming signal to drive an array of light emitting diodes arranged in a vertical line. If there were 10 light emitting diodes in the array, the input voltage range could be divided into 10 parts, each corresponding to one of the diodes. As the incoming signal varied, the light would come from different parts of the array. If the signal went off scale, the uppermost or the lowest diode would be lit. For a steady zero amplitude signal one led at the center of the array would stay lit, and when this occurred for more than a predetermined amount of time, for example 15 seconds, an alarm would sound. When the alarm does not sound, a parent need only glance at the display, which might be in the living room of the home, and get immediate confirmation that there is respiratory or cardiac motion.
Experimental Results. FIG. 7 is a graph of the data obtained with a seven month old baby, and represents pressure (y axis) vs time (x axis) in a mattress 22. No amplification was applied to the signal output from transducer 44. The sampling rate was 100 samples per second and the input voltage range of the analog to digital converter was �128 millivolts. The vertical lines on the graph are spaced at intervals of 2 seconds. The signal corresponding to respiration is a large, slow oscillation with a period of about 2.2 seconds and an amplitude of about 50 millivolts. The signal corresponding to cardiac action is a smaller amplitude, damped oscillation with a repetition rate of about 1.5 per second. The relative amplitudes of the respiratory and cardiac signals can change if the baby changes position. For example, when the baby turns itself or moves its limbs the signal amplitude can exceed the input range of the ADC.

Commentary: Shame of Iraq Abuse
Commentator Andrei Codrescu says the U.S. soldiers accused of torturing Iraqi prisoners are not some rogue sadists who passed psychological profiling to get into the army, they are American kids who've seen their required share of violent movies and porn, the same kids who like to binge-drink at frat parties, the same kids who occasionally kill somebody during hazing at their school. He hopes they have shame for what they have done.

CNet comes to us with another strange robotic creation out of Asia. No, it's not Japan this time, but the Chinese who give us "Clothbot". What is "Clothbot"? Put some synthetic fur on it and it can be an animatronic toy galloping about your body. It can serve as a holder for your phone attached to your shoulder, which I don't know why anyone would want that, but moving on. The final suggestion, and perhaps the most likely application for this intrusive little bot is airport screenings. While it tends to get a little fresh whilst climbing up the leg, it's guaranteed to cover your body with its grinds and wiggles, every square inch. Better than a TSA pat down or full body scan? You be the judge.

Additionally, Jeremy exposed that CrossOver Snow Mallard (we anticipate it to be officially known as CrossOver 8.1) will provide a new feature being called Application Installer Profiles. With CrossOver's Application Installer Profiles, any individual or company independent of CodeWeavers can write support for CrossOver to use any application-specific optimizations (or "hacks") or any other workarounds that may be required for the application to run properly atop Wine/CrossOver. The Application Installer Profiles should allow for a greater range of Windows applications to easily run atop this licensed software.
Additionally, this next release of CrossOver features a complete rewrite of the client engine, which is reported to give a dramatic improvement in behavior for Linux users.
When it comes to CrossOver Games Zombie Mallard (we imagine it will be marketed as CrossOver Games 8.1) will feature support for new games, including the Left 4 Dead 2 game that is expected to be extremely popular.
The announcement regarding the CrossOver 8.1 series codenames was made on the CodeWeavers blog. No release date has been given for either the next CrossOver or CrossOver Games releases, but we would expect them to happen before year's end. Left 4 Dead 2 is being released on the 17th of November thereby putting the CrossOver Games release a few weeks out at a minimum.
