Some people have reported problems with Relevanssi and non-English characters, mostly accented letters. The problem here isn't with Relevanssi, which handles UTF-8 without problems. The issue lies with MySQL.
If you're having troubles, try switching the collation on the 'term' field in the relevanssi main table (typically
wp_relevanssi) to
utf8_general_ci (or some other utf8 collation that suits you better). Reindex, and things should work better.

Filipino maids in Mideast jobs say they face abuse
AMMAN, Jordan Forty narrow mattresses line the carpeted floor of the basement at the Philippines Embassy, a damp and dimly lighted room where 20 women have sought refuge from abusive employers.
The room is one of two shelters run by the embassy for Philippines citizens in Jordan – a country that human rights groups accuse of not doing enough to protect about 500,000 foreigners, including 30,000 Filipinos, who are here working as maids and servants or in construction.
Jordan, like other Middle East countries, offers little legal protection for foreign workers, forcing governments like that of the Philippines to operate shelters. Many of the victims are women who accuse their employers of beating them, refusing to pay wages and forcing them to convert to Islam.
"I was ironing when madam snatched a hot iron from my hand and branded my arm," said Francis, 30, a shelter occupant who fled her Jordanian employer's home six months ago. She refused to give her last name, saying she did not want to worry her family in the Philippines.
Recently, the government in Manila decided to stand up for its citizens working in Jordan and elsewhere in the Mideast, saying the money sent home isn't worth the cost of shelters and court cases against workers who flee their employers.
Almost a year ago, the Philippines imposed a ban on sending more workers to Jordan unless the government enacted regulations protecting them. The demands included blacklisting abusive employers, setting maximum hours, guaranteeing one day off a week and quadrupling the minimum monthly wage to $400.
While abuse of maids from poor countries by employers in richer ones is not limited to the Middle East, Philippine officials say it's particularly widespread in the region, including in wealthy states like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
"We are very strict in enforcing new rules," said Virginia Calvez, labor attache at the Philippines Consulate in the emirate of Dubai. "If the employer does not want to comply with our regulations, we advise (the worker) not to go."
Jordan has made some concessions, but has not mandated the $400 monthly salary. Neither has Lebanon. Other Mideast countries – including those in the oil-rich Arab Gulf – have agreed to the minimum wage.
But as a result, many employers are hiring maids from countries like Sri Lanka and Indonesia without minimum wage laws. Since new rules were put in place in the Emirates in April 2007, the demand for Filipino maids has dropped by 50 percent, Calvez said. The number of Philippines citizens working in other Gulf countries, including Kuwait, also has declined.
In Amman, Samia Elyan, a 47-year-old housewife, said she replaced her Filipino maid with a less expensive worker from Indonesia, who gets just $100 a month.
"Who cares if the Philippines stopped sending workers to Jordan," she said.
The bans in Jordan and elsewhere also have not prevented Filipinos from slipping into the countries for work. More than 5,000 Filipinos have defied the ban in Jordan since January, said Julius Torres, the Philippines ambassador to Amman.
"The ban made our voice heard, but I know it doesn't solve the problem of employers' maltreatment or abuse," he said.
He added that the Philippines and Jordan have negotiated a protocol on work conditions, but that it would not be signed until the Philippines decides on a mechanism for exporting laborers to Middle East countries, which would probably take three or four months.
The ban on exporting domestic workers could be dropped once the protocol is in place, Torres said.
Meanwhile, Jordan has changed its labor law to give foreign workers some rights, including compensation for being fired without a valid reason.

Finally a fighter that got the boss right. I was tired of all those new games having OP bosses on Normal, and I don't wanna play on Easy. I always hated that, as I'm not an experienced player, and the difficulty jump from a normal opponent to boss is too high.
Haven't tried the story mode since I don't have much time ATM, but the Arcade run was fun with Chie. I was slightly disappointed with the finishers though. It too easy on normal. I ended up defeating all opponents with it. I think that Astral Finishers weren't that easy in BlazBlue, but maybe I was just bad at that game, as I only played with Bang, who's supposed to be a difficult character for beginners.

Unfortunately no debut album came out of the duo.
"Ok, here's the short version. Kay & I became roommates March 1996 & started a group called Example (I.E.). That summer, Example & the K-Otix had a meeting about putting our music out independently. The plan was to put out a double-sided EP, one side Example & the other K-Otix. Well, things didn't go as planned, so both groups decided to do 2 seperate EPs & release them around the same time. Done deal. Kay became writing the very first song on July 26, 1996. We both produced 3 songs each on the EP. January 1997, we released our 6 song EP titled, "Impulses".

The present invention relates to an apparatus for disposing of industrial waste, particularly medical waste by crushing.
Heretofore, medical waste such as used hypodermic needles and medical testing instruments have been sterilized or burnt after use as occasion demands before being buried in the ground like industrial waste in general. However, such a disposing method is disadvantageous in that used hypodermic needles, glassware for testing purposes and the like may stick in the fingers of nurses or fall off their hands and broken while being carried to incinerators. Moreover, the medical waste buried in the ground may be forced up the ground before being completely corroded and cause unexpected accidents to men, living things (e.g. dogs and cats), or damage to vehicle tires and the like; in other words, causing secondary disaster.
In addition, the recent mass production of medical wastes tends to make it inevitable to dispose of them immediately after use without subjecting them to pretreatment which should have been made, including sterilizing and burning them. Such countermeasures, however, are led to problems of infection with an apriority immunity anergy syndrome, B-type hepatitis and the like, and have posed a serious social problem.
In view of the foregoing problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for disposing of medical waste by crushing such as disposable syringes, hydrodermic needles, FR bottles, Ringer's solution bottles and the like with safety.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a compact lightweight apparatus for simply disposing of medical waste by crushing immediately after use in hospitals or the like.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide the aforementioned apparatus that can be movable to any place readily with safety.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for disposing of used medical devices simply and quickly by crushing, the medical devices including those having residual liquid and blood, to say nothing of empty ones.
These and other objects of the invention will become more apparent in the detailed description and examples which follow.
FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of an apparatus for disposing of medical waste by crushing as a first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the internal construction of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a diagram taken on line III--III of FIG. 2.
FIGS. 4 and 5 are diagrams illustrating fixed blades.
FIG. 6 is an overall perspective view of an apparatus for disposing of medical waste by crushing according to the present invention as a second embodiment.
FIG. 7 is an elevational sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 6.
FIG. 8 is a top view of the internal construction of the crushing unit.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the top of the partially exploded crushing unit.
FIG. 10 is a schematic perspective view of the fourth fixed blade.
FIG. 11 is an elevational sectional view of an apparatus for disposing of medical waste by crushing according to the present invention as a third embodiment.
FIG. 12 is a diagram of the internal construction of the crushing unit of FIG. 11 for disposing waste by crushing.
FIG. 13 is a top perspective view of the crushing unit.
FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of an apparatus for disposing of waste by crushing according to the present invention. The apparatus 10 embodying the present invention comprises a body 14 movably supported by casters 12. The body 14 has a top cover 18 holding a hopper 16 for accommodating waste, a bottom cover 20, a front cover 22 having operating buttons, a rear cover 24 opposite to the front cover, and side covers 26, 28.
The hopper 16 is a box for accommodating medical waste to be disposed of and has a drop-in hole formed in part of the bottom cover. A safety dust-proof detachable cover 30 is preferably installed above the drop-in hole to cover part of the hopper 16 so that crushed material is prevented from flying out of the apparatus 10 during the crushing operation or hitting the operator.
An opening 32 matching the drop-in hole in the underside of the hopper is formed in the top cover. This opening 32 can be opened and closed by a longitudinally movable damper 34. The damper 34 can be manipulated by means of a damper handle 36 protruding from the top cover 18 toward the front cover 22.
Right below the opening 32 is a sucking hopper guide 38 downwardly tilted to the right by an angle of θ (preferably about 60� with respect to the horizontal plane (see FIG. 2). A check plate 40 made of, e.g. rubber is hanged down from the upper end of the tilted guide 38 to check the back flow of the material being processed. Moreover, a crusher chamber 42 communicates with the lower end of the guide, the crusher chamber being tilted likewise from the upper right-hand side to the lower left-hand side by an angle of θ (preferably about 60�) with respect to the horizontal plane.
The crusher chamber 42 comprises an upper portion incorporated with the lower end portion of the tilted guide 38 and used for guiding the waste, and a lower portion provided with rotary blades 44 and fixed blades 46. The rotary blades 44 are rotated by a rotary shaft 50 of a motor 48 in direction of arrow 52. Although the number of rotary blades 44 is shown to be three, it is needless to say not limited thereto. Each of the blades 44 has a front end which is indented and/or twisted to positively introduce the waste to the fixed blade 46. As shown in FIG. 3, five fixed blades 46a-46e are secured to the lower portion of the crusher chamber 42. Each of the fixed blades is, as shown in FIG. 4, provided with a predetermined number of grooves 54 through which the rotary blades pass. An opening 56 for use in discharging the crushed waste is provided on the rear side of the last fixed blade 46e and also communicates with a discharge port 58 for use in discharging the crushed waste outside. As shown in FIG. 1, a container box 60 for receiving the crushed waste is placed under the discharge port 58, so that the waste crushed to pieces is dumped into the box. A vinyl bag 62 or the like is normally put into the box 60 to facilitate the discarding of the contents.
A sterilizing unit is installed in the apparatus according to the present invention for disposing of medical supplies with safety. More specifically, a pump 64 for supplying an antiseptic solution is provided inside the front cover 22 of FIG. 1 as shown in FIG. 2. The pump 64 is used to sent a jet of antiseptic solution via a pipe 72 to a jet orifice of the crusher chamber 42, the antiseptic solution being injected from an injection port 68 into an antiseptic solution tank 70 by opening a door 66 in the front cover 22. A liquid level gauge 76 on the front cover makes possible observation from the outside.
The front cover 22 consists of a door 78 for use when the crushed waste is taken out, a fixed wall 82 accommodating an array of operating buttons 80 and the door 66. A power supply lead 84, a pump service port 86 and the like are provided on the side cover 26.
Before the above-described apparatus is operated, waste to be crushed such as used hypodermic needles, syringes and the like is put into the hopper 16. The button 80a is subsequently pressed to start the motor 48; however, the order may be reversed. An operator in charge then opens the opening 32 by operating the damper handle 36, letting the waste in the hopper 16 fall into the opening 32 using a push rod, for instance. The waste that has fallen into the opening 32 keep falling successively along the tilted guide 38. When the waste reaches the crusher chamber 42, it is caused to turn to flow in direction of arrow 88 and enters the blade section. The rotary blades 44 lead the waste to the fixed blades 46 where it is crushed; pressure-crushing and the like take place between the rotating rotary blades 44 and the grooves 54 of the fixed blades 46 in this case. The centrifugal force resulting from the rotation of the rotary blades 44 compels the whole waste to pass along the fixed blades 46. The waste subjected to crushing operations in four steps as illustrated is sterilized by an antiseptic solution, crushed again, discharged from the opening 56 on the rear side of the fixed blade 46e in direction of arrow 90 toward the discharge port 58, and discarded into the bag 62 of the container box 60. At a point of time crushing sound stops after the waste has been fed totally, the crushing operation is completed. The container box 60 is then taken out of the apparatus 10 by gripping a handle 88 and the bag 62 is then pulled out of the box 60 to dispose of the waste thus cut to pieces like ordinary industrial waste. The bag may be disposed of when it becomes full of the waste. As the medical waste is cut to pieces and sterilized, there is no risk of causing secondary disaster. When the button 80b is pressed, all functions are suspended. As the button 80c lights when the deficiency of the antiseptic solution occurs, it can be used simultaneously as the liquid level gauge. Moreover, the button 80d is an antiseptic solution jet button and, when it is pressed once, a jet of antiseptic solution is sent out for 30 seconds. When the button 80d is pressed again, its switch is opened to stop jetting out the solution. Alternatively, these buttons may be replaced with some other mechanisms. While the apparatus 10 is held in an ON state, it may be cleansed by running a disinfectant from the hopper 16.
Examples of medical supplies that can be crushed by the apparatus include hypodermic needles, syringes, glass bottles for containing Ringer's solution, ampules, bottles for any other medical use, etc.
FIGS. 6-10 show a second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is an overall perspective view of another apparatus for disposing of waste by crushing according the present invention. FIG. 7 is a schematic sectional view of the apparatus. This apparatus 100 has an upper cover 112, a bottom cover 114, left- and right-hand side walls, a front wall, and a rear wall.
The upper cover 112 is provided with an opening 120 having a predetermined dimension in its substantially central portion, the opening 120 forming an inlet for used devices to be disposed of. The opening 120 is supplied with, e.g. a slidable door 122, which is so arranges as to readily be opened and closed by the operator. The opening 120 is preferably equipped with a magnetic catch 124 for holding the door 122 in a closed state and further a limit switch 126 for sensing the switching state of the door 122. Needless to say, the hopper 16 of FIG. 1 may be fitted to the upper cover 112.
Casters 128 are attached to the bottom cover 114 so that the apparatus 100 may freely be moved.
A discharge chamber 130 for accommodating crushed waste is provided on the side wall 118 on one side, whereas a pushing rod 117 for use in moving the apparatus 100 is fitted to the side wall 116 on the other.
A feed conveyor 132 is provided under the opening 120 of the upper cover in the apparatus 110. The conveyor 132 is interlocked with the limit switch 126 and operated only when the switch senses that the door 122 has been closed. The conveyor 132 has an area substantially greater than that of the opening 120 and prevents the operator from inadvertently thrusting his fingers beyond the conveyor and simultaneously the waste crushed by an crushing unit, which will be described later, from flying out of the apparatus 100 via the opening 120.
A motor 124 rotating at 1,800 r.p.m. is installed under the feed conveyor 132. The motor 134 is the one which is well known and used for starting the feed conveyor 132 via a reducer 135. The motor 134 is also used for rotating rotors 138 of a crushing unit 136 provided under the motor 134.
The crushing unit 136 schematically shown in FIG. 8 includes four fixed blades 140 (140a-140d) spaced, e.g. 90 degrees apart form one another and rotary blades 142 formed on a pair of rotors 138 so arranges that they cross at right angles and rotated by the motor 134. The front end of each rotor 138 is preferably twisted so as to press the waste against the bottom side of the crushing unit 136.
Each of the fixed blades 140 is, as shown in FIG. 7, provided with a pair of vertically arranged grooves 144 for allowing the rotors 138 to pass therethrough. Moreover, the grooves 144d of the fixed blade 140d are perforated in the central portion of the blade to form slits 152. As is well known to those skilled in the art, the fixed blades 140a-140d may be formed of a pair of plate-like steel members formed to shape and stacked with a spacer therebetween or of a steel block processed to shape as shown in FIG. 10. In other words, there are variations of the fixed blade to be made in compliance with design requirements depending on the dimension, number and angle of the rotor to be arranged, the dimension, number and angle of the fixed blade, the number of grooves, the configuration of an opening and the like. The rotors and the fixed blades may be replaced with those most suitable, depending on the waste to be disposed of.
The crushing unit 136 has a worktop 146 thereon and a cylindrical wall 148 surrounding the rotors.
Part of the cylindrical wall 148 has a diameter radially outwardly extended to form an extension 150. The extension is situated between the first fixed blade 140a and the fourth fixed blade 140d and serves as an inlet for the waste. Further, an opening 154 is provided in part of the cylindrical wall 148. The rear side of the fourth fixed blade 140d communicates with the opening 154, for instance, as shown in FIG. 10. The centrifugal force generated by the rotors 138 compels the crushed waste to be forced out of the opening 154 tangentially via the opening 152. There is preferably provided a tank and a supply unit 156 for receiving an antiseptic solution and supplying the crushing unit 136 with the solution between the lower portion of the crushing unit 136 and the bottom cover 114.
A guide plate 158 for guiding the waste fed by the feed conveyor 132 to the inlet for the waste in the crushing unit is provided within the apparatus 100. Moreover, a wall plate 160 is provided opposite to the guide plate 158. The wall plate 160 is hanged from the upper cover 112, extended up to the worktop 146 and used for protecting the motor 134. The waste is accordingly prevented from entering between the wall plate 160 and the side wall 116.
There is also provided a space 162 in the radial outward direction of the fourth fixed blade 140d, the space communicating with a long narrow chamber 164 thereunder in which a screw conveyor 166 is installed. An opening 168 is provided in the outer lower end portion of the chamber 164. While the screw conveyor 166 rotates in the chamber 164, it forces out the crushed waste discharged by the rotors 183 into the space 162 up to the opening 168.
In FIG. 6, numeral 171 refers to a door 171 for use in supplying an antiseptic solution; 174 to a device for displaying the liquid level of the antiseptic solution; and 176 to an antiseptic solution supply port.
In operation, a power supply button on a control panel 170 located on the front cover of the apparatus as shown in FIG. 6 is pressed to rotate the motor 134. Subsequently, the door 122 in the upper cover 112 is opened. The limit switch 126 then actuates but the feed conveyor 132 will not operate even though the switch for actuating the conveyor is turned on. While the conveyor 132 remains stationary, waste to be crushed is deposited. When the switch is turned on after the door 122 is completely closed with the aid of the magnet catch 124, the conveyor 132 starts to operate. As a result, the waste to be crushed on the conveyor 132 is thrown into the inlet 150 for the waste in the crushing unit 136 via the guide plate 158. The wind pressure generated by the rotors 138 rotated by the motor 134 at high speed causes the waste to be sucked into the inlet and guided to the crushing unit 136 where the waste is crushed to pieces between the rotary blades 142 formed on the rotors and the four fixed blades 140 as in the case of the first embodiment. Since the crushed waste is pressed against the bottom face of the crushing unit by the rotors 138, they are kept from spouting out of the inlet 150 during the crushing operation.
In addition, the rotation of the rotary blades 142 generates a high-speed whirl in the crushing unit 136. Consequently, the industrial waste thus crushed to pieces tangentially flows in the crushing unit 136 and moves from the respective openings 152, 154 of the fourth fixed blade 140d and the cylindrical wall 148 up to the space 162 and passes through the discharge opening 168 via the screw conveyor 166 and jumps into a container 172 under the opening 168.
Moreover, an antiseptic agent may be supplied from the tank via the supply device 156 into the crushing unit 136 as occasion demands during the crushing operation.
The crushed material conveyed by the conveyor from the crushing unit 136 and piled up in the container 172 is taken from the discharge chamber 130, burned and/or buried in the ground. Numeral 178 in FIG. 6 designates a member for preventing the crushed material from scattering therein.
FIGS. 11-13 show a third embodiment of the present invention. What makes the third embodiment different from the second embodiment is that a pneumatic discharge unit instead of the screw conveyor 166 in the second embodiment is used as a means of sending crushed pieces out of the crushing unit. Component parts other than the means mentioned above are substantially similar. In the third embodiment, like reference characters are accordingly given to like component parts of the second embodiment and a description will be given of the difference therebetween.
FIG. 11 is a schematic sectional view of an apparatus 200 similar to what has been shown in FIG. 7 for disposing of medical waste by crushing according to the present invention as a third embodiment.
Unlike the second embodiment, one end of a return duct 262 is coupled via a meshed portion 261 to part of a guide plate 158. The other end of the duct 262 is coupled to a discharge port 264 above a cyclonic discharge port 264 located thereabove. On the other hand, the opening 154 provided in the cylindrical wall 148 is coupled via a pipe 268 to a cyclonic side outlet 266.
The crushing unit 136 operates in the same manner as that in the second embodiment to crush medical waste successively with the rotary blades 142 and the fixed blades 140.
Further, the rotation of the rotary blades 142 generates high-speed whirl in the crushing unit 136. As a result, the crushed industrial waste is caused to flow in the tangentially direction of the crushing unit 136 and sent from the opening 152 (FIG. 10) of the fourth fixed blade 140d and the opening 154 of the cylindrical wall 148 via the pipe 268 to a container 272. The air together with the crushed waste sent to the container 272 is returned via the return duct 262 to the sucking hopper and the inlet 150. As a result, there is formed an air passage from the crushing unit 136 to the pipe 268, the discharge chamber 130, and the return duct 162 up to the inlet 150.
In addition, an antiseptic solution may be supplied from the tank and the supply unit 156 to the crushing unit 136 as occasion demands during the crushing operation as in the case of the second embodiment.
The crushed waste pneumatically transferred from the crushing unit 136 and stored in the container 272 is taken from the discharge chamber 130 before being burnt and/or buried in the ground.
The crushing operation for completing the work of crushing and dumping waste continues only for approximately three minutes. The termination of the work can be sensed without fail from the rotational sound of the rotors. However, a window may be bored in a suitable position of the wall, if necessary. After the completion of the crushing and piling work, it becomes possible to feed the next lot of waste.
According to the present invention, waste products such as used hypodermic needles, most of which have been rendered disposable, glassware for testing purposes and the like can be processed indoors quickly without transferring it to an outdoor incinerator and simply disposed of each time they are produced. In other words, it is unnecessary to accumulate waste products in any one of the depots. This advantage obviates any risk accompanying the transportation of waste devices to outdoor depots, ensures effective use of indoor spaces, and allays the anxiety aroused from the storage of unprocessed devices which may help, e.g. growth, denaturation or leakage of bacteria.
According to the present invention, waste devices are crushed to powder for approximately three minutes and sterilized as occasion demands. The ex post facto process of, e.g. burning and/or burning the crushed waste is greatly facilitated. Since hypodermic needles and the like are broken or completely smashed and glassware is crushed to pieces, no secondary disaster is brought about.
According to the present invention, plastic needles, FR bottles, Ringer's containers and the like in addition to the aforementioned hypodermic needles and glassware are crushed to fine pieces, so that their disposal can be made completely with certainty. In other words, the apparatus for disposing of medical devices according to the present invention ensures that the infection of an apriority immunity anergy syndrome, B-type hepatitis and the like constituting a serious social problem is effectively prevented.
The apparatus 200 in the third embodiment is designed to transfer crushed industrial waste without containing liquids such as residual oil, blood, water and the like therein to the disposal container quickly and reliably. If, however, the waste contains various kinds of residual liquid, the crushed material may become sticky and consequently become hardly disposable with ease. Especially when hypodermic needles bearing blood are crushed, the crushed devices may hardly be disposed by air into the disposal container with ease as they become sticky to each other.
In such a case, the second embodiment may be used to convey and force out the crushed industrial waste up to the disposal container by means of the screw conveyor, whereby the apparatus is prevented from being clogged with the crushed waste being conveyed.
In case medical waste devices having diversified shapes and dimensions are to be disposed at one time, they may become tangled with each other and therefore intermittently conveyed by the feed conveyor from the hopper to the crushing unit. As a result, a large amount of waste is supplied to the crushing unit, which may cause trouble in crushing them. This phenomenon often occurs when waste material is made to fall from the hopper onto the feed conveyor and conveyed horizontally. Particularly when the waste contains residual liquid and blood, it may be conveyed intermittently as in the cases of the second and third embodiments. Since the provision of such conveyor tends to make the crushing unit large in size, the conveyor is dispensed with in the first embodiment so as to supply the waste from the hopper to the crushing unit by means of the tilted passage. In this way, waste devices are prevented from tangling with each other. More specifically, the crusher chamber 42 is incorporated with the tilted guide passage, so that the crushed waste is allowed to fall down along the guide passage continuously at all times. Even if various kinds of medical devices to be disposed of are deposited at a time, they are prevented from tangling with each other. Consequently, these medical devices in the form of a dumpling are prevented from entering the shredder section to ensure that the crushing operation is continuously performed. Since the blades in the crusher chamber are provided within the tilted guide passage, even the waste material brought into contact with the center of rotation of the rotary blades is caused to fall down along the tilted surface and crushed thereby with certainty. As a belt conveyor is made dispensable, the apparatus therefor can be rendered compact, whereas it is equipped with an increased number of rotary blades. Crushing efficiency is thus improved.

Can I work while getting VA disability benefits?
In general, most veterans can still work while getting VA disability.
There are a couple of important points:
In order to receive TDIU benefits (Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability) you can minimally work. But you cannot earn over a certain amount. – This is essentially below the poverty level.
A 100% schedular rating for certain conditions may also preclude you from working and earning substantial wages.

Tour Edge Exotics XCG Combo Set 3H, 4H 5-PW
The power and performance of the Tour Edge Exotics XCG iron are matched only by their unbelievable feel and responsiveness. The new dual-density dampening system (3DS) ensures both the long irons and short irons deliver the feel you expect from an Exotics iron. The key to the 3DS system is the dual-density elastomer technology. The dampening system is softer in the scoring irons (7-SW) to produce a smooth, buttery feel and greater spin. In the mid & long irons, a firmer density promotes greater rebound, added distance and a responsive, solid feel. With the Tour Edge XCG irons, you also get a classic shape that features a thin top-line, progressive offset and a tour heel grind. The heel grind helps reduce turf drag in the rough for consistent contact.

Tracking High-Speed Internet In Your Neighborhood
How wired are the homes in your neighborhood compared with the ones across town? A national interactive map released today from American University's Investigative Reporting Workshop helps answer that question.
The map shows geographic differences in broadband Internet adoption across the country — down to the level of individual census tracts, small areas with a population of 1,200 to 8,000 people.
The map, which contains data from the Federal Communications Commission, lets you explore by place and ZIP code, and includes demographic and income measures.
In a larger report, the workshop analyzed the FCC data to draw conclusions about state-to-state differences and the so-called digital divide, persistent disparities across segments of American society when it comes to access to information technology.
In addition to the group's effort, check out the U.S. Department of Commerce's November 2011 report on the same topic.
That report found that "lower-income families, people with less education, those with disabilities, Blacks, Hispanics and rural residents" lagged behind national averages for adopting broadband and using computers. But the Commerce Department said socioeconomic differences were not the only factors that explain why some households don't get Internet service. Nearly half cited a lack of need or interest, while a quarter said it was an affordability issue.

Telling Lorenzo Bundy he was no longer the Dodgers' third base coach wasn't easy for Don Mattingly.
Tag Archives: Oakland
Dodgers' starting rotation will remain intact at least the next six days.
Despite off-days next Monday and Thursday, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he will keep his starting pitchers in turn for the two-game series in Oakland next Tuesday and Wednesday.
That means Clayton Kershaw will take Tuesday's start and Mat Latos will pitch Wednesday.
Looking ahead, the Dodgers will host the San Francisco Giants from Aug. 31 to September 2. Right now, if no pitcher skips his turn in the rotation, Kershaw and Zack Greinke will miss that series entirely.
"We haven't set it yet," Mattingly said of his rotation for the Giants series. "We're just talking about it."
Game 101: A gray day in L.A.
Sonny Gray dealt the Dodgers their third straight loss, though they remained a half-game up on the San Francisco Giants in the National League West. The photo gallery is here.
The Dodgers' fourth outfielder has two years and $43,464,000 remaining on his contract after this season.
Third base coach Tim Wallach discussed the strengths (Howie Kendrick, Joc Pederson, Jimmy Rollins) and limitations (sometimes they lose double plays to The Shift) of the Dodgers' defense with colleague Mark Whicker.
Dodgers spring training 2015: Kershaw survives comebacker, Dodgers don't survive rally.
MESA, Ariz. — Clayton Kershaw survived a scary incident in the Dodgers' 2-1 win over the Oakland A's. His postgame comments are above. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said "it obviously scared all of us a little bit, but once we get out there you could tell he wasn't totally" hurt. You can view/hear his comments here.
The starting pitching matchup between Kershaw and Oakland A's ace Sonny Gray was predictably well pitched. J.P. Howell, Adam Liberatore and David Aardsma all pitched scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
And this is why spring training wins, losses and ties mean little. Blake Smith, an outfielder-turned-pitcher who finished last year at Double-A, was sent out for the ninth inning to protect a 2-1 lead. He did not. The A's loaded the bases and won the game 3-2 on a two-out RBI single (after a nice double play turned by first baseman Cody Bellinger).
For the record, the Dodgers' Cactus League record is 8-4-6. The box score is here.
Some more observations from the Dodgers' first game of the day (the split-squad game in San Antonio begins at 5 p.m.):
Watch: Clayton Kershaw hit by line drive, stays in game (video).
MESA, Ariz. — The Dodgers held their collective breath for a moment Friday when Clayton Kershaw was struck in the face by a line drive off the bat of Oakland's Andy Parrino.
In the third inning of the Cactus League game at HoHoKam Stadium, Kershaw was a bit late raising up his glove to deflect the baseball. He appeared to be struck on his left cheek or jaw, then sat on the ground while his teammates gathered around the mound.
Dodgers head athletic trainer Stan Conte sprung out of the dugout and examined Kershaw, who eventually threw a warm-up pitch and was allowed to remain in the game.
With runners on first and third base, Kershaw retired Coco Crisp on a line drive on his next pitch. An RBI single by Craig Gentry gave the A's their first run later in the inning.
Kershaw remained in the game to pitch the fourth inning. The 2014 MVP/Cy Young Award winner is making his fourth spring training start.

Who says young people these days are lazy? From the looking at participants at the Wildcat Classic Camp this week, that's far from being the truth.
Although on summer vacation, all are working hard to one day be at the top of their game! Each year the camp is sponsored by the Meridian High School basketball team.
"We want to give back to the community and this tries to teach them about discipline and how to have fun in basketball," says camp organizer Coach Ernie Watson.
Although fun, organizers say when push came to shove, the young people learned much more than just lessons on "lay-ups" but also lessons in life.
"If it is basketball, football, baseball or whatever, the competition, and to be able to get along with others and be disciplined in the sport, that is what this is what we are trying to do," says Coach Watson.
Although they might not be Harlem Globetrotters just yet, with some of the moves they showcased, maybe one day they will be!

The Haunted Tunnels of Anoka State Hospital
The Anoka State Hospital in Anoka, Minnesota has gone by several names over its century of existence – First State Asylum for the Insane, Anoka State Asylum, Anoka State Hospital and its current name, the Anoka-Metro Regional Treatment Center – but aside from its reputation as being an insufferable sanitarium, it is also known to be haunted by the ghosts of many who died within its sinister walls.
The 'First State Asylum for the Insane' was built after a state legislation was passed in 1898 calling for the construction of a state mental institution in Anoka, Minnesota. The asylum opened in 1900 and for the next 5 decades was solely a patient-transfer hospital.
Beneath the asylum is a virtual maze of tunnels, which are where most of the ghostly hauntings of the Anoka State Hospital are said to take place.
Mental patients were transferred from overcrowded asylums looking to downgrade the population. The first 100 patients were all males from St. Peter State Hospital, all deemed "chronic incurables". In the next six years, 115 female patients were also transferred over from the same sanitarium.
By 1909, the state decided to use the Anoka State Hospital for female transfer patients only, while all males would be sent to the state hospital in Hastings. When the asylum received an additional wing in 1925, that rule was reversed and male patients were once more accepted. By then, the First State Asylum for the Insane had been rebranded the Anoka State Asylum (1919).
In 1937, it was renamed once more, this time to the Anoka State Hospital, presumably to sound less abrasive for the patients and their families. It wasn't until 1951 that the institution was established as a receiving hospital, admitting new patients rather than transfers only.
There is likely a long string of abuse, physical and mental mistreatment and experimental methods that occurred at the Anoka State Hospital. Being less infamous than some other mental institutions of that era, you don't hear much about the way patients were treated in Anoka, but an astounding track record for diabolical neglect and intentional cruelty tends to follow all insane asylums in those days.
It is said that patients used the underground tunnels to attempt breaking out of the Anoka State Hospital. Within these tunnels, those who could not find a way out, as so few would, often reverted to suicide as their new escape route. There are several accounts of patients hanging themselves from the heavy pipes that ran along the ceilings of the tunnels.
Reports of strange noises, sinister whispers and eerie laughter have been reported down in the tunnels. Footsteps approach, but no one is there when you turn around. The air feels suddenly cold, and just as suddenly returns to its previous temperature.
This seemingly paranormal activity continued for many years, and is still reported today by those with access to the tunnels. They have been closed off for years, but are still accessible, when necessary, by maintenance workers and security personal.
Today, the Anoka State Hospital – which underwent yet another name change in 1987, henceforth known as the Anoka-Metro Regional Treatment Center, likely for the same reasons as its prior rebranding – continues to admit patients from the Anoka area and beyond, including Hennepin, Ramsey and Sherburne counties.

Haunted home/office in Anoka, MN, on Monroe St. Btwn 2nd & Third Avenues, (x from Sandburg MS). Many unexplained events in back office area: typewriter started typing on it's own; calculator running long tapes with "O's" on it, (oH, by the way–the calculator was turned OFF!!, And no one was at the desk.), The computer in room across hall ( no one in office during the day) started dialing up internet; even after supervisor from front office went in & shut it off; About 10 minutes later it turned on again and started dial up! NO one was in that office!!
Telephone would ring, then when answered, no one was there. Phone would ring once again, but then stop. We unplugged the phone, and it rang again!! WEIRD!!!!!!!!
This activity occured over several months time. We called it THE AFTERNOON GHOST; ALWAYS HAPPENED BETWEEN 1-2 IN THE AFTERNOON. Wondering if it may have been child ghosts from the past who were disturbed by the unlikable tenants in the downstairs offices, (who would by the way, have strange meetings and CHANTINGS, ETC., during their business sessions). Maybe the children's spirits were telling us they wanted those people evicted????????
I spent time there for DUI ..I was laying in bed one night the only one awake .I felt something lightly touching my forehead and hair .. my hair was moving for just a few seconds ,then seen an apparition float away .I sensed it was female . I shared this story to other inmates and another person shared a similar story ..they talked about the woman in red
I lived in the staff houses because my Dad ran the place in the early 60's…. and it was very, very creepy, although there were some really nice people that worked there. I remember hearing about tunnels, too.
But why were the tunnels there in the first place? What was their original purpose? I heard they go all the way to downtown Anoka.
In response to Jayne: the tunnels were there for transporting patients between the buildings without having to go outside–particularly helpful during snowy MN winters. I was just there today for an observation shift at the workhouse, and they mentioned the ghost stories and history as an asylum, which is what brought me here. For what it's worth, at least half the workers I talked to had personal accounts that all roughly matched with others' stories. Dark stuff happened there, and I don't have any trouble believing that it's had an effect on the property.
The tunnels had a dual purpose, 1) to transfer patients and 2 ) to provide access for electrical, steam and other systems. I have worked in the tunnel system and there are some very unsettling areas. There used to be a hospital building and 2
Other cottages that were torn down years ago.
hi ive actually been in the Anoka state hospital back in 2003 it was an experience let me tell u my experiences: I really wasn't suppose to go down there but a nice staff in my unit upstairs from the chemical dependency unit was nice to a group of 5 of us, he gave us the keys to get in well we went…. it was freaky you walk in by the boiler room and off to your left there was a tiny room with a dirt floor and 2 side walls with old brick we had to shine a light in there was cold, stale air, and in front of you there was a brand new brick wall and 2 concrete steps which lead up to the wall and a pipe sticking out of the celling!!!! creepy right? then we left went to the hall and there was clanging on the pipes {like metal hitting metal} so I asked it to clang the pipes once if it were a ghost it clanged once, so the ghost was nice he clanged very loud and repetive if I were going to a bad place, room, or area. we made it to a newly renovated area, I walked up to a wall that was written with sharpie "DEAD JK" and a date exaclly a year from then! CREEPY!!!!! so then I walked by a new elevator it opened holy crap! well it closed right away. then I went up some stairs I found the old kitchen/dining area, there was a green glowing light into the kitchen and a woman in white scrubs moves to a table{maybe a patient?} well she looked at me with a smile and floated away… well last experience: I went back down the stairs my friends and I talked for a minute they agreed to give me 15 more minuets to explore and go thru the double doors in that area. I magically found the right key on the second try.. creepy!!! so I had one of my best male friends hold open one of the double doors, I entered I saw a light on in a room about half way down the hall weird! well I entered the room and I was a really old rocking chair rocking back and forth and I interduced myself and ask if the spirtit wanted to leave with me as soon as I asked that the rocking chair stopped rocking! damn I was scared well that's it pretty much.
I was with three of my friends walking towards the asylum one night, we saw a huge group of people and we actually knew some of them from school. One of them had showed me a video from a few minutes before of a ghost throwing things inside the asylum. The window was broken and there is a cement ledge with a door next to it, they all decided since im tiny I could go through the broken window and open the door for everyone. So they lifted my on the ledge and I took peoples phones for pictures inside , I looked inside and was about to go in but the ghost threw something towards me and I fell back down to the ground. Scariest moment of my life.. We had also seen a shadow of the ghost moving around in a different window. Never believed in ghost till that happened..
I worked here for years, used these tunnels to get from the nurses dorm to the cottage where i worked….transported patients through them to the cafeteria or treatment areas…NEVER saw anything weird!! I think maybe jamie needs to lay off the weed.
Hi I live in Anoka and I was just wondering about how you would even get into the tunnels, does anyone know about a unblocked entrance or just any entrance and where it is? Please tell me if you do.
There is nothing there, just old buildings with lots of history and LOTS of mold…there are no open entrances into the buildings or tunnels…best to leave the buildings alone. Preserve its rich history. And the tunnels have pretty much caved in, full of water, etc. Just leave it be. Sorry to ruin the fun.
I got into the tunnels, and a few of my buddies stayed the night. It was horrible. Shouting, and things being thrown. (That's what it sounded like down there)
Well this is very intreging knowing that there was many many souls that lost their lives from these tunnels a friend and I have been researching these people for sometime now and we are trying to get ghostadventures or someone out here to investigate this property and to have correct precatiouns to release all of these spirits, what scares me half to death is if the city of Anoka decides to bulldoze these buildings down then they need to perform a exorcist and release them and there could be demon spirits as well so we are working our best to figure out and we found ALL of the patient records at the historic library in downtown Anoka so if anyone is interested in learning more about their names and everything a lot of them were made up names and dates of deaths and causes of death. we will get someone out here asap because if they did bulldoze they will be releasing the spirits into the community!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to live in the neighborhood right in front of the Anoka county fair, which the hospital was right behind. The tunnels went right underneath the anoka county fair and if I looked out the window in the living room, then I saw the fairgrounds. Me and my step sisters bedroom was in the basement and me, my sisters, mom and step dad all experienced weird happenings in the year we lived there. If you drive by the fair coming from the railroad tracks and you see a blue house with pine trees in the front of it, the blue house RIGHT NEXT TO IT IS WHERE I LIVED! If your coming from the other way and you see a pink house, the next house you see that is BLUE is the one I LIVED IN! I'm not lying right now seriously. Never been in the hospital and definitely not the tunnels, and I slept in the basement, which was underground, and the tunnel went under the fairgrounds, and my house was right across from the fair. So…… yeah. Scary, really.

New London - At the new downtown Holiday Inn, consistency starts with a scent.
The city's only downtown hotel, open since May, contains a motion sensor that times the release of a pleasant mist with the arrival of a guest at the check-in area.
"It's the same scent in every Holiday Inn in the world," says Amit Rangi, hotel general manager and regional director of New Haven-based J&H Hospitality. "It's very subtle."
Not so subtle are extensive renovations made to the former Radisson Inn, including new rugs, wallpaper, bedding, furniture and 42-inch televisions in every room. Rooms are appointed with iPhone chargers, Wi-Fi and refrigerators, among other amenities, and the large, attractive lobby includes a business center where customers can log into computers.
J&H took over ownership of the hotel property in June 2011, but it required nearly two years to secure the Holiday Inn franchise by adhering to a stringent list of requirements, including specific types of plants at the entrance.
In the interim, the 120-room lodging facility at 305 Gov. Winthrop Blvd. operated as New London Plaza Hotel (a Holiday Inn on Frontage Road during that time was converted into a Clarion Inn).
Rangi says the five-story Holiday Inn, which leases restaurant space to O's Bar & Grill, is one of the few full-service hotels in the region. Apart from hotels at the casinos, the Marriott in Groton and Hilton in Mystic are the only other lodging facilities that he sees as direct market competitors for travelers who want a hotel with a restaurant, bar, meeting rooms, pool and room service.
"It's a one-stop shop," he says. "It's ideally located."
But hotel occupancy has been less than stellar, hovering around 50 percent during the summer, according to Rangi, who wouldn't reveal specific figures. Industry averages for occupancy are usually between 60 and 80 percent.
"This year was less than expectations," Rangi says. "It was a struggle in the summer. We're hoping next year is better."
Rangi, a Groton resident, says he expects business to pick up once the Holiday Inn and its managers become better known in the community. Through the summer, about two-thirds of its customers were leisure travelers, but Rangi expects more corporate business as the inn becomes better known.
The New London Rotary Club meets at the hotel regularly, Rangi says, and the site gets a good deal of business from the Coast Guard Academy, Mitchell College, Connecticut College, Lawrence & Memorial Hospital and the U.S. Submarine Base. It is looking to gain more traction with Pfizer Inc. and Electric Boat in Groton.
"Those are some of the big accounts we want to go after," Rangi says.
Prices are posted as starting at $139 a night on weekdays and $179 on weekends. That's about $70 less than some Holiday Express franchises that are not full-service hotels, he says.
Typical stays are one day on weekdays and two days on weekends, Rangi says. The hotel offers a $15 shuttle service to the Mohegan Sun that runs until 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and it has packages for savings at local attractions.
"I have a very good staff," Rangi says of the hotel's 35 to 40 employees. "My product is awesome. ... I wish there was more demand."

Winifred's eyes gleamed as she saw the Stedding from afar. She did enjoy her traveling, it was why she chose the path of a Tracker. But there was nothing as exhilarating as coming back home. And even more exciting was the thought that she was the one introducing a new comer to a whole new welcoming world. A community of kin that didn't fear you or judge you. A real unconditional family.
Both Winifred and Doha walked on, passing along other Wolfkin. Some were talking among themselves, some building a fire in preparation for the midday meal. Most of them raised their head for a moment to see who the newcomers were but they quickly went back to their business. "So, this is the Stedding, Doha. Right now I have to escort you to a Sage to make sure you're as healthy as a bull. After that you'll be able to wander a bit and get familiarized with the surroundings. For now, though, follow me."
So, we're here! lol Taymist should jump in as the Sage. Feel free to post before her if you want to describe Doha's reaction to first stepping into the Stedding... but if Tay beats you to it, just post after her :)

OAKLAND — The A's are building for next year and beyond, so self-scouting is a big part of that.
Danny Valencia is a player Oakland wants to learn more about and the early returns continue to be positive after he knocked in two first-inning runs in the A's 2-1 win Saturday over the Houston Astros.
"He's been great," A's manager Bob Melvin said of Valencia. "Knocking in runs and that's what you want guys in the middle of the order to do. We want to give him some opportunities here against righties and we gave him a big one today and he came through for us."
Valencia's solo home on Friday night proved to be the winning run and his two-run double in the first inning Saturday had the same effect as the A's (50-62) won their second straight against the first-place Astros. Continue Reading

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

Woman, 71, stung by 1,000 killer bees
PALM DESERT, Calif. -- A 71-year-old woman is believed to have suffered about 1,000 stings in Southern California after being attacked by a swarm of killer bees that covered her entire body.
Cal Fire Battalion Chief Mark Williams says the woman was expected to recover after Thursday's attack in Palm Desert. He said five firefighters were also hospitalized for stings.
A bee removal specialist told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that up to 80,000 Africanized honey bees found in an underground electrical vault stung a Verizon employee who opened the vault. Lance Davis said the bees then attacked the woman, who had just gotten out of a car nearby.
Davis said her relatives tossed a blanket over her and rushed her indoors.
Davis said he removed the bees and planned to donate them to farmers.

text: Just curious what the general consensus is out there in regards to the recent trend of horror movie remakes. Are they really all that necessary? Is there a right way and a wrong way to do them? What are some of the better remakes? Worst remakes? I think there are definitely some good horror movie remakes out there. Example: Dawn of the Dead. Zack Snyder did a fantastic job with this remake. He took the basic plot of Romero's movie and embellished it enough to make it shine, but not so much that it wasn't true to the spirit of the original. The reason we see the remake is because we liked the original, right? So why would anybody want to stray from that? Bad example: The new Nightmare on Elm Street that's in the works...sans Robert England. WHAT?! Unacceptable! Maybe when Robert England has been dead for twenty years we entertain this idea. Until then, it's just disrespectful to The Master, dude! I'm totally boycotting this movie. I will watch only after His Greatness has departed this realm of reality.
