text: The American Lung Association (ALA) has released their annual report, State of the Air 2011, highlighting which cities have the worst air for ozone pollution, short-term particle pollution, and year-long particle pollution. All of these pollutants present problems for the health of the people living near these regions (and sometimes, not near these regions). Locally Pittsburgh was ranked at number 7 in the SOTA 2011's list of "10 Cities Most Polluted by Year-Round Particle Pollution." According to the report, over 18.5 million people in the U.S. live in a region with unhealthy levels of year-round particle pollution. Air pollution, along with other pollution, has historically followed industrial growth. In the late nineteenth century, air pollution was a serious local problem arising in many industrial settings in the United States. The ALA recently reported that particle pollution from power plants kills approximately 13,000 people per year. Pollution hazards may be exacerbated for people who are part of an "at-risk" group, such as those with asthma, chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes. The ALA has also found that people who live in poverty may face higher risk from air pollution. The ALA reported that before legislation had been adopted to specifically address air pollution, the courts utilized common law causes of action such as "public nuisance" to resolve claims of damage to human health and the environment. The 1907 U.S. Supreme Court decision Georgia v. Tennessee Copper Co. was just such a case, coincidentally that was the American Lung Association launched their Christmas Seals Campaign. It was the beginning of a 100 year fight for cleaner air in America. Despite their efforts to combat air pollution by industry, the first direct regulation of air pollution was not adopted until 1965, with the Motor Vehicle Air Pollution Control Act, followed by the Air Quality Act of 1967. But it was the Clean Air Act of 1970 that finally changed the priorities, emphasis and approach of federal air pollution regulation. The main villain in the particle air pollution has been the coal industry and the coal burning power plants. The new legislation and cap and trade proposals are touting natural gas as an alternative fossil fuel and are pushing power companies to replace the dirty coal plants with natural gas fueled plants. Local residents all agree that the hoods of their cars on a morning with some dew provide ample evidence that the air quality in our valley has improved. The replacement of coal fired home heating units has also helped reduce the smog in the Ohio River Valley over the past 50 years. Because of our local economy's dependence on the coal industry and the jobs provided by the local coal burning power plants, local politicians are hoping a compromise can be reached. Also, with the promise of a bright future for the local area now linked to our vast reserves of natural gas in the local communities, there is also a concern by the EPA that the new industry could be less of a clean resource than first indicaatsed. One of the main advantages of natural gas is that it is supposed to be far cleaner than oil or coal. Right now Congress is even considering a T. Boone Pickens-inspired bill aimed at converting the nation's truck fleet to run on natural gas. If it's passed, it will be in large part on the assumption that such a move will help the nation reduce climate-changing greenhouse gases. But evidence continues to mount that natural gas is not as clean as we like to think. In January, a ProPublica investigation found that large amounts of "fugitive" emissions were left out of common comparisons between coal and gas and that if these emissions were counted the advantages of natural gas dwindled. Our report found that the Environmental Protection Agency's emissions estimates from hydraulic fracturing in shale formations were 9,000 times higher than the agency had previously estimated. We also quoted Robert Howarth, a Cornell University professor, saying that he would soon release research that showed that the emissions from gas were even worse. Massive stores of natural gas that lie underneath big portions of the United States offer a cleaner source of electricity to a country that relies heavily on coal, but producing all that gas also can pump lots of pollution into the air. Gas production already has caused unhealthy air in Wyoming's Sublette County and Utah's Uintah Basin. And experts project that booming shale gas developments like Haynesville, stretching through Texas and Louisiana, and Marcellus, which lies beneath several Mid-Atlantic states, will start contributing to unhealthy levels of ozone or smog in coming years. "This isn't just next to where the development is actually happening, the poor person living downwind of the compressor, this is ozone levels in Philadelphia and [Washington] D.C. and New York City and places like that," says Carnegie Mellon University professor Allen Robinson. Howarth's findings are based in part on the EPA's revelation that far more gas escapes into the atmosphere in production fields than was previously known, and on a mathematical tweaking of the intensity of methane gas' effect on the atmosphere. Howarth, whose figures for total emissions exceed even the EPA's revised estimates, calculates the impact of methane in the atmosphere over a 20-year period, saying the urgent need to address short-term climate change justifies that calculation. Over 20 years, methane is considered 72 times as powerful as carbon dioxide in its effects on climate change. Using that approach, Howarth concludes that gas may be between 20 and 100 percent dirtier than coal. Industry officials argue that the benefits of natural gas for air quality far outweigh any negatives, but experts caution that much cleaner production practices are needed to prevent the industry from becoming an air quality villain. The battle has raged in courts and congress for over a century and arrayed forces of the emboldenedenvironmentalists are still on the attack with Clean Air legislation. With the local economy reliant on the industry we must continue to balance the two sides in the conflict as we seek a compromise between the environmentalists and the industrialists. The American Lung Associations State of the Air 2011 foundthe Clean Air Act is working. All metro areas in the list of the 25 cities mostpolluted by ozone showed improvement over the previous report, and 15 ofthose cities experienced the best year yet. All but two of the 25 cities mostpolluted with year-round particle pollution improved over last year's report. However, only 11 cities among those most polluted by short-term spikes inparticle pollution experienced improvement. 10 Cities Most Polluted by Year-Round Particle Pollution 1. Bakersfield-Delano, Calif. 2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside, Calif. 3. Phoenix-Mesa-Glendale, Ariz. 4. Visalia-Porterville, Calif. 5. Hanford-Corcoran, Calif. 6. Fresno-Madera, Calif. 7. Pittsburgh-New Castle, Pa. 8. Birmingham-Hoover-Cullman, Ala. 9. Cincinnati-Middletown-Wilmington, Ohio-Ky.-Ind. 10. Louisville-Jefferson County-Elizabethtown-Scottsburg, Ky.-Ind. Data Provided by: American Lung Association Annual State of the Air Report The State of the Air 2011 report grades cities and counties based, in part, on the color-coded Air Quality Index developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)to help alert the public to daily unhealthy air conditions. The 12th annualrelease of the Lung Association's report uses the most recent EPA datacollected from 2007 through 2009 from official monitors for ozone andparticle pollution, the two most widespread types of air pollution. Countiesare graded for ozone, year-round particle pollution and short-term particlepollution levels. The report also uses EPA's calculations for year-roundparticle levels. The report identified Honolulu, Hawaii and Santa Fe-Espanola, N.M. as the cleanest cities—the only two cities in the nation thatwere among the cleanest for year-round particle pollution and also had nodays when ozone and daily particle pollution levels reached unhealthy.

I'm building a digital power base for a Scalextric slot car track using the schema provided here (you might have to click the "Powerbase Circuit" tab).
Now, my question is, what type of capacitors should be used for C7 and C8 (the right-most ones next to U3 & U4). What is said about the caps in the text is only "Output protection is provided by suppression capacitors C7 & C8", but nothing about their type.
At my local electronics shop, the only bipolar capacitors they had was 1,5uF of the following type: "Visaton elko glatt 1,5uF 10%". It also reads "For high quality speaker networks". See this link for a pic.
Can I use these caps for this purpose or should I get another type with correct rating (of 1uF)? In that case, which type should I use?

Turning the tables on cancer
Young cancer researcher Natalie Wolf knows her subject matter only too well.
March 11, 2014
Other undergraduates have done research in challenging fields like cancer.
But not many have been as familiar with their subject matter as Natalie Wolf.
In 2010 Wolf, who hails from Plymouth, Minnesota, was getting ready to move onto campus and begin her freshman year at the University of Minnesota. She had just had a stubborn cyst removed from her side and was looking forward to studying biology. Then, the day before move-in, the call from her doctor came.
"He said cancer cells had been found in the cyst, but they didn't know what type of cancer it was," Wolf recalls. She was told to go ahead and move in to the University, but a week later, on the first day of classes, she met with an oncologist who told her it was Ewing's sarcoma, and school was not an option just then.
What followed was nine months of chemotherapy and an extra surgery to remove the tumor bed at the U's Amplatz Children's Hospital.
Eager to dive in
Luckily for Wolf, she has a hard time not doing anything. During the months of treatment she kept busy seeing friends and getting close to the family dog, Gus. But most of all, she didn't let her condition get the better of her.
"I kept a positive attitude. I never doubted I'd go back to school," she says. "I figured I'd get through it and then be a stronger person."
In fall 2011, Wolf was fit and ready to take on her freshman year. She had told an oncologist at Amplatz, Christopher Moertel, that she wanted to get into genetics and research, and in October that year Moertel put her in touch with a colleague of his. That was David Largaespada, a professor of genetics, cell biology and development and researcher with the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota. Largaespada researches the genetic underpinnings of cancer, a perfect fit for Wolf.
Now a junior, Wolf has already accomplished what most undergrads can only dream of: She has earned a spot in the authors list of two papers published in peer-reviewed journals, Nucleic Acid Research and Nature.
"I've enjoyed all my time in the lab," she says. "I've learned lots of techniques, lots of genetic techniques.
"I think David is wonderful," she adds, her eyes lighting up. "He's always been very willing to sit down and explain things. It's incredible how much information and knowledge he has."
Currently, she's researching osteosarcoma with Branden Moriarty, a postdoc in Largaespada's lab. They are studying the roles of two genes in the disease. Wolf treats cultured cells with agents that inactivate the genes and helps identify the cells in which the inactivation was successful. Next they will do experiments to identify the cell functions that are affected by inactivating the genes; this will yield clues to the genes' roles in cancer.
"It has been tremendous to have Natalie working with us," says Largaespada. "From the beginning, she has been very enthusiastic about our research. More than this, she has generated important data that we hope will help physicians treat sarcomas someday."
Sharing her experience
Part of Amplatz's service to patients is to put them in contact with others who have experienced the same thing.
"I've met with a few newly diagnosed people around my age. I told them that as bad as it may be, try to stay positive," she says.
Wolf and Largaespada have both been active with the Karen Wyckoff Rein in Sarcoma Foundation, which raises donations and provides news, resources, and a way to connect to other sarcoma patients. Recently, the two of them spoke at a meeting of the organization, whose work they greatly admire, and Wolf was featured in a video [LINK].
Wolf aspires to a career in research, and she is now trying to decide if that will mean a Ph.D. or an M.D./Ph.D program. Either way, she will carry her experience over the last three and a half years forward, and for the better.
"I feel unique," she says, referring to her dual roles with Rein in Sarcoma and Largaespada's research. "Not only do I help raise money, but I'm on the forefront of actually helping cancer patients."

Deadspin's Craggs exposes New Jersey Nets' use roster depreciation write-off to manipulate profits, losses
Columbia Journalism Review's Ryan Chittum writes, "Gawker's sports site Deadspin got hold of some New Jersey Nets financial statements from a few years ago and uses them to report on how tax law gives multimillionaire ballclub owners egregious benefits.
Tommy Craggs does a good job showing how the Nets could earn $7 million but report a $28 million loss in 2004, or as he aptly puts it, 'how a team makes money and how it pretends not to be making any money at all.'
The Nets benefit from a writeoff called the roster depreciation allowance that allows pro teams to depreciate their assets, which in this case are workers:
The underlying logic is specious at best. As Fort points out, a team's roster at any given moment isn't actually depreciating. While some players are fading with age, others are developing and improving. But the Nets don't have to pay more taxes when a player becomes more valuable. And in any case, the cost of depreciation is borne by the athletes themselves, when they pass their primes and lose their personal earning power."

After letting out two "yelping, growling" sounds, Clark County K-9 Deputy Kane, his normally smooth gait thrown off by stab wounds, ran into the arms of his handler, Deputy Rick Osborne, who hurried to the team's nearby patrol car and then drove to a veterinary hospital.
At St. Francis Animal Hospital, Kane was pronounced dead, ending prematurely a decorated partnership that was less than a year from turning into a more traditional master-pet relationship.
Kane died shortly after midnight on April 2 from three stab wounds suffered as he latched on — twice — to a man suspected of vehicle theft who had allegedly dumped the car and run.
"K-9 Deputy Kane died doing what he loved best — protecting his partner," said Special Operations Cmdr. Chuck Atkins during a public memorial service Thursday afternoon inside the Clark County Event Center at the Fairgrounds.
Flashing lights and barking dogs lined the entrance to the event center, where large-screen pictures showed Kane and Osborne in a playful embrace.
Including the dogs, about 250 were on hand at the public memorial. It was the latest in an outpouring of support that began immediately after Kane's death with cards and donations — $12,000 worth to the sheriff's office K-9 program — sent from all over the country and as far away as Australia. A Milwaukie, Ore., artist gave the sheriff's office a stone likeness of Kane. It was displayed at the memorial along with donated drawings of Kane.
Visiting and local officers, in their rugged green or black K-9 handler uniforms, filled the first several rows of the event center for the one-hour service. Dog and handler teams came from Canada and throughout Washington and Oregon to attend. More than 100 community members were scattered across the large hall.
New details
Chief Criminal Deputy Mike Evans shared new details during the memorial of Kane's unrelenting dedication to do his job.
On April 2, Kane and Osborne followed a vehicle with switched license plates to the 8800 block of Northeast 107th Avenue, where it lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a fence. H. Keegan Graves and Natasa Cresap allegedly fled on foot and Kane, off his leash, tracked Graves into a small area nestled among trees.
Osborne heard Kane let out a "yelping, growling sound" he'd never before heard his partner make and called for the dog. Kane, though, consumed with bringing the suspect into custody, didn't respond. And then for a second time, Kane let out a pained moan.
Osborne saw Graves run off and Kane come running back, as best he could with three serious stab wounds. Graves and Cresap were taken into custody without further incident.
Graves has pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, and one charge each of harming a police dog, attempting to elude police and possession of a stolen vehicle. His trial is set for July 18 in Clark County Superior Court. Cresap was taken into custody on an outstanding Department of Corrections warrant.
It was for his "continued diligence even after suffering life-threatening injuries" that Kane was awarded the sheriff's office's medal of valor, Evans said as he presented the medal and a Purple Heart to Osborne.
Kane received a second medal of valor from the Washington State Police Canine Association. His name will be inscribed on a K-9 memorial at the Law Enforcement Academy in Burien, said an official with the association.
Kane and Osborne were no strangers to awards. The duo received an award in 2008 from the President's Executive Office of National Drug Control Policy for marijuana eradication.
A brief video featured footage of Osborne and Kane harnessed to a helicopter during training for short-term airborne missions, and photos of Kane wearing sunglasses and lounging on the grass in Osborne's backyard. By the end of the video, which was backed by Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," many in the crowd were wiping their eyes and noses with tissues.
"Pure magic," Evans called partners Osborne and Kane.
Sheriff Garry Lucas also spoke during the service. He said Kane had been part of hundreds of demonstrations to area students and helped bring into custody hundreds of "bad guys."
'A void in our lives'
At the end of the memorial, a 911 dispatcher's voice gave Osborne's police call sign, one-Henry-three, and said, "Kane, gone but not forgotten."
Osborne was joined Thursday by his wife, Tara, and young son, Marshal. The family shook hands and met with well-wishers during a reception held after the event.
Osborne spoke with The Columbian for the first time since Kane's death. "I'm very appreciative of the community and everyone who has supported us," he said. "It has been unbelievable."
Kane was scheduled to retire in 2012. The 8-year-old Dutch shepherd would have spent his golden years with the Osbornes.
"He's a huge void in our lives," Osborne said. "He was special. He was a fun dog."

UK: T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Android 2.3 Gingerbead update now available
The Samsung Galaxy S units sold by T-Mobile in the UK are now starting to receive the update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Finally.
T-Mobile customers who've bought their Samsung Galaxy S devices direct from the operator must be very happy just about now. Sure, this update comes more than seven months after Gingerbread was announced, but at least it's finally available. In fact, some T-Mobile Galaxy S users have reported receiving the update as far back as four days ago, but today the operator has officially announced that the update is available. That announcement came on T-Mobile's discussion forum, but unfortunately didn't bring any additional details.
Therefore we're forced to assume that the update is over-the-air and Samsung Galaxy S owners throughout the UK will get notified that the update is available. Hopefully that's the case. Better yet, hopefully those of you who own a Galaxy S on T-Mobile have already got the update up and running.
Despite the obvious timing issues, Samsung has to be commended for how they've supported the Galaxy S. After all, it's already gotten two updates to new Android versions. Sure, the Froyo update was also late (by a lot), but at least Samsung did push these updates through eventually. That's not something that you see all the time in the Android world, sadly.

I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and when I load the magazine full, I can't get the final round to cycle when I run the pump. Any ideas?
Printable View
I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and when I load the magazine full, I can't get the final round to cycle when I run the pump. Any ideas?
By final round, do you mean the last round loaded, or the last round to be fired?
Are you saying that with a full magazine it doesn't cycle?
My guess is you need a new spring if it's the last round in the tube.
Load one less round.
I would try a Wolff XP spring, possibly a new follower.
Remove the spring and follower from the magazine tube and clean & inspect them. Get a 10 gauge swab and clean out the magazine tube.
Here is a pretty good page showing dis-assembly without video. (pics only) will england :: mossberg 500 disassembly
It's with the last round in the magazine tube, and when I run the pump, it won't feed out of the magazine and load. It gets to the opening of the magazine but stays inside, flush with the magazine opening. I can't get it to pop out. There was a time when I could use my finger to push hard against the face of the brass and then pull my finger away and get it to "bounce" out of the tube, but it won't anymore.
Sounds like the mag spring to me. Any chance you're loading one too many rounds? You know, like it's made for 5 rounds of 3" but you're squeezing in 6 rounds of 2 3/4"? Not sure that's even a possibility, I'm not a shotgun guy!
Look for any burrs on what's holding the shell...a good polishing with dremmel and some rouge would probably fix that. Clean the tube. Any old caked grease/gunk in there? Might try stretching the spring a bit and putting it back in as well as different ammo...
How many rounds does your Mossberg hold? 5, 7 or 9?
I would first clean the mag tube first and then test it, but you are probably going to need a new spring.
New spring!

"All leather?"
Although the design and "look" of this portfolio is definitely enviable, it is not truly "all leather" as described. It has a black synthetic fabric lining bolstered by what seems to be a cardboard backing. For the price point this product should be completely made of leather.

In each of the first two, freshmen held nine of the 24 spots in the lineup, and last week, held seven spots. Rebecca Wing, a 2008 British Olympian, has held leadoff spots in each meet, including on bars, beam, and floor, in a victory over Washington on Jan. 22. Two-time U.S. senior national champ Ivana Hong and fellow former U.S. national team member Samantha Shapiro are expected to add events as the season progresses as they become healthier.
Last Week: Stanford earned its highest individual scores on the season on vault (Nicole Dayton, 9.900) and beam (Alyssa Brown, 9.975) in a 196.800-194.525 loss at Oregon State. The Cardinal were hurt by falls on the beam, but the senior Brown's collegiate best in the event in the anchor position helped create a positive finish.
Sunday's Opponent, UCLA: No. 7 UCLA (3-1) was the 2010 NCAA champion and 2011 NCAA runner-up. The Bruins return eight All-Americans, including 2010 NCAA vault champion and Pac-10 Gymnast of the Year Vanessa Zamarripa, who missed last season with injury. UCLA opened with victories over current No. 1 Utah, Cal, and San Jose State, before falls hurt in a loss at Washington last week.
The UCLA Series: Stanford has had success against UCLA in recent years. The Cardinal won three of four meets against the Bruins last year, is 5-3 over the past two, and 12-8 against UCLA since 2006.

FEMA: New Orleans Hospitals, Nursing Homes Still Being Evacuated
Gary Fields reports from Washington.
R. David Paulison, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Sunday that emergency personnel were still evacuating nursing home and hospital patients from several facilities in New Orleans.
"Several issues came up through the night," he said. "A couple of hospitals that had planned not to evacuate decided they should," he said. In addition "several nursing homes" that were supposed to have plans in place for evacuating residents did not. That left authorities with "several hundred extra patients we weren't anticipating and a lot were critical care."
Mr. Paulison said helicopters have been brought in, along with five C-130 aircraft to get the "special needs" patients out of the city.
Mr. Paulison said Sunday afternoon that there were still residents who had not evacuated but the population was "dwindling quickly." He said airplanes were still flying and trains and buses were still operating.
Thousands of meals, water, cots and other emergency equipment have been stationed at 15 locations throughout the areas expected to be impacted, he said. In addition there are 18 search and rescue teams that have been pre-positioned as well. Those teams will begin operations once the storm has passed and it is safe, Mr. Paulison said. Those rescues, as well as flooding and those who have not evacuated, are his chief concerns, he said.
The port of New Orleans was still open but was likely to close Sunday evening, said Coast Guard Rear Admiral Sally Brice-O'Hara.
One key concern, the oil and gas industries, had completed their shutdowns and evacuations out in the Gulf of Mexico, said Kevin Kolevar, assistant secretary for Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability at the Department of Energy. Mr. Kolevar said about 96% of production had been shut down. The Gulf accounts for about 25% of oil production in the U.S., he said. Mr. Kolevar said, however that reserves were strong and absent "significant damage" disruptions of production would be localized and temporary.

Big Picture: Voices of the Supply Chain
Several years ago, an executive from Dematic came to Modern's offices to introduce a new way of thinking about the warehouse and distribution center. He called it "four walls and two windows."
The idea was simple. Materials handling solutions may happen inside the four walls of a facility, but they are affected by what happens outside of a facility. To be truly efficient, a system needs visibility— those two windows—into what is happening downstream and upstream.
The concept goes a long way to explaining the evolution of materials handling solutions. If all that mattered was efficiency inside the four walls, we would all crossdock full pallets and be done with it.
Instead, new customer service requirements, store operations, just-in-time manufacturing strategies and value-added services are driving distribution strategies. "How do I satisfy my customers and get an edge on my competition?" is the industry mantra. Questions like that have led to the development of sophisticated order fulfillment strategies such as the one featured in this month's cover story on Skechers.
Add the upcoming expansion of the Panama Canal to the list of catalysts. Scheduled for completion in 2012, the canal will allow significantly larger ships and shipments to serve the East Coast of the United States. To get a view through the windows of how this might impact what happens inside the four walls of manufacturing and distribution facilities, Modern spoke to six supply chain experts.
Alberto Aleman Zubieta, CEO, Panama Canal Authority
"We believe Panama is becoming the most important distribution hub in the Americas."
When looking at the expansion of the Panama Canal, most logistics experts have focused on the impact bigger ships will have on supply chains centered in the Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Seaboard.
Aleman agrees with this assessment. "Some are calling this a game-changer for the maritime industry," Aleman says. However, Aleman believes the more important change could be in where and how companies with global supply chains locate and distribute their products. "Panama is becoming the most important distribution hub in the Americas, especially if you want access to the growing markets in Central and South America and the Caribbean," Aleman says.
As proof, he points to a growing number of warehouses in the Colon Free Trade Zone on the Atlantic coast and Panama Pacifico and to the fact that Panama is the only country with connectivity to two oceans. As such, he argues that the country is uniquely positioned to be a value-added distribution platform for global companies. Aleman also envisions Panama becoming a hub for redistributing at the level of the ship load.
"You can bring a full container into a distribution center, break it down and repack the product for a specific market before shipping it back out to a customer," he says. "Or, you can offload the containers from a large vessel onto several smaller vessels headed to different markets. At the end of the day, this is a value-added route and not just a passage way between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans."
Greg Buza, director of supply chain operations, BASF Corp.
"The most important driver of our warehousing and transportation operations is the balancing of service and cost."
The expansion of the Panama Canal is one of the catalysts that has BASF kicking off the first comprehensive review of its North American distribution network supply chain since 2004. "The most important driver of our warehousing and transportation operations is the balancing of service and cost," says Buza. "We ask: How close are we to our customers, how quickly can we get product to our customers and what is the cost of getting those materials to our customers?"
An expanded canal may create opportunities to reduce supply chain costs by relocating facilities now operating on the West Coast to the East Coast or the Gulf region. "We are especially looking at Houston and New Orleans to expand our shipments to Asia," says Buza. "Freight for Asia is typically railed to the West Coast. If we can save money by bringing vessels into the Gulf through the canal, that could change how we crossdock and store materials."
While the expansion is first and foremost a network design puzzle for Buza, he says BASF is rethinking its order fulfillment processes. "We are looking at automating more of our warehousing and standardizing our processes across our network to lower our costs," says Buza. In North America, for instance, Buza is focusing on integrating supply chain management systems for greater visibility and efficiency. Globally, the company has built highly automated distribution centers in Asia and South America. "We're taking what we've learned and looking to add automated handling and storage in North America in the future," he says.

Rabbids Go Home (DS) review
"Everything in Rabbids Go Home comes down to physics and proper use of your finite supply of items. Is there a pit that you can't cross? Put a spring-loaded boxing glove in its place so that when you drop from the edge, you'll go flying off toward the right to another ledge. Is an iron safe dangling in the way and blocking your path? Place some scissors higher along the rope that holds it so that a wandering rabbid can push a bowling ball from an even higher ledge that then will drop down and clamp the scissors shut so that they cut the rope and cause the safe to drop out of the way."

Volunteer Stories
Our volunteers use their time at the hospital to spread cheer, give back and feel a greater connection to their community. Many of them are former patients or family members of former patients who remember a volunteer that made a difference in their stay.
Mary found her place at Indiana University Health La Porte Hospital.
"I was taught that it is important to pay our civic rent for all the benefits we receive living in a town such as La Porte and I think it equally important to pay that rent to our excellent hospital. The plus side of paying this rent is that we receive back so much more than we give."
"My husband was in and out of the hospital prior to his death and we both thought he received exceptional care each time so I volunteer as a small thank you but also for more selfish reasons. I know I need to be busy to combat loneliness and I can't think of a better way than to work with the patients and the hospital staff, all of whom have made me feel needed, appreciated and loved."
"I am so grateful to be the recipient of these benefits that I need and that probably we all need and do receive as volunteers. Thank you to all who have made this possible for me."

Once the daybed was assembled I was faced with a dilemma – I had too much furniture for our tiny house! The generosity of friends and family had overwhelmed our tiny home.
Not only did we have the new daybed but two matching wingback chairs and a heavy-duty loveseat that looks as if the frame were hand-crafted from heavy lumber.
What in the world is a frugal minimalist to do? I've no desire to trip over excess furniture!
I considered our dilemma and discussed it with Katie. Something would have to go, but what? We loved both the chairs AND the loveseat, so what to do? I didn't want to eliminate my daybed and go back to sleeping on the floor!
With a young puppy in the house, whatever we decided to keep needed the ability to look nice while withstanding the inevitable attacks from puppy teeth. I also wanted it blend well with our daybed and overall decorating style.
We debated on this until a friend mentioned that he knew someone who could really use (and would love) some chairs. Problem solved! Within a couple of days the chairs were relocated and our space restored. The loveseat is heavy enough to withstand anything we can dish out and any marks will give the piece more character. If the cushions are ever damaged they will be easy to replace with some upholstery foam and some fabric.
Sometimes minimalism just means admitting that you have too much stuff and taking steps to correct the issue. What do you do when you find yourself overwhelmed with possessions? How do you decide what stays or goes? Please share your stories in the comments below.

It is down to the Final Two: Jef and Arie. Chris Harrison comes out and says that they are LIVE to see what Emily Maynard is going to do. He says that "After The Final Rose" will be after this. He says that they want to take a moment to recognize the victims of Colorado. They begin the night and Emily, Arie and Jef are in Willemstad Curacao. Emily says that she is excited about this and says that she doesn't know who the one is yet. She has Ricki there with her. She says that she would love to introduce Ricki to her future husband yet. She has her family there. She says that they take this as serious as she does. She sits down with them.
Jef comes up with flowers. He hugs and kisses Emily. He walks up and meets Emily's mother, Suzy father, David, Brother Ernie and future sister-in-law, Emily. Suzy asks how Jef's family feels about this and Jef admits that they were skeptical. Suzy takes Jef aside and asks if he is really serious and Jef says that he doesn't feel any doubt about this. He says that he wants to be a good father and wants to take Ricki in his life as well. He says that Emily completes his life. They sit down with the family and Ernie takes Jef to the side. Jef says that he cares a lot for Emily and he asks Ernie why it hasn't worked out and he says that no guy has given Emily what she wanted since Ricky. Jef says that he is completely in love with Emily. Ernie says that he feels that his intentions are true. Jef sits down with David and Jef hopes that he is good enough. He tells David that he is completely in love with Emily. Jef asks for his blessing and he says that he has it because he makes Emily happy. Emily and Jef sit down and kiss. She walks him out.
The next day, Arie comes up and meets with Emily. She kisses him and asks him if he is nervous. She says that Arie is so easy to love. They come in and Arie meets Suzy, Dave, Ernie and Emily. Arie asks if they are enjoying their time. Arie starts to ramble and he admits that he is nervous. Arie shows the family that he saved all the roses that he has received from Emily. Suzy walks off with Arie and asks what his intentions are. Arie says that he knows that daily life is different for Emily and says that he will do anything to make this work. Ernie talks to Arie and asks if he is in this to win a game or is he really in love. Arie says that he has never been at the point where he is in love with them. He says that he is in love with Emily and says that being with Ricki and Emily, and Ernie says that he is at a total loss what to tell Emily.

He says that he has his blessing and says that he knows that his intentions are good. Arie and Emily walk out and she kisses him goodbye.
Emily sits down with her family and asks about their feelings toward Jef. Dave says that he is a good fellow and Ernie says that he can't tell her who the best is.

Emily sits down with Suzy and Emily says that she doesn't know if she wants to introduce Ricki to them. Suzy tells her to wait on an engagement. She starts to question whether or not she is ready to be engaged. The next day, Ricki says that her favorite place is where they are. Emily says that she needs to see who would be a better fit for her and Ricki. She still doesn't want to introduce Ricki to two separate guys.
She goes to her last date with Jef. He meets her on a beach and hugs her. Jef says that he sees everything he wants in Emily and says that there are obstacles to work with, one is the fact that he hasn't met Ricki yet.

She says that she doesn't know if she wants to introduce Ricki to any of them. Jef says that he would love to meet Ricki and says that he wonders what it is going to be like being a dad. Emily says that she feels guilty introducing Ricki to Brad and it not working out. Emily says that the joy is there now. Jef asks her what she would think if she was in his position. She says that it would be disappointing. She says that she feels so confident and says that she wants him to meet Ricki. She says that he should come over. Jef says that meeting Ricki is the final piece of the puzzle.
They walk up to the house and Emily says that it is scary. Jef says that this is a huge step and says that he is definitely nervous. They walk over to the pool and she introduces Jef as her "friend". They all get into the pool and Emily says that she can see that it is not just about her and Jef. He says that this seems so natural. Jef says that he is so excited and can't wait see where this goes. Emily says that Jef has exceeded every expectation. She says that he would be the greatest Dad and Husband.

Vern Shotwell: Thanks for your help. I have finally joined an AR group. It only took 3 years, but sometimes patience gets more booty.
I've added several Tea Party Groups in Arkansas above. Have you checked these?
Or, perhaps these links? Tell me what group you are looking for. Perhaps I can help!
I have been a member of TEA PARTY NATION for quite a while. I've tried, in the past, to find a link to an Arkansas group, but every time I tried I got a message telling me no such email exists. That may be the reason for lack of state members. I live in Van Buren and would like to communicate with nearby friends. Judy Lyford: firstname.lastname@example.com
Can anyone tell me if the Arkansas Tea Party groups are doing anything to combat Common Core?
To advise all members of a fast growing grassroots project:
With the support of a growing number of Tea Party patriots across the country, my OPEN PUBLIC INVITATION TO READ MY ENTIRE BOOK FREE OF CHARGE seems to have been accepted by thousands of "friends-of-friends" nationwide. Literally THOUSANDS of new readers per day are visiting the newly created "Open Public" blog site to read the entire book at .... FREE READ of Decision 2012 - A Citizen's Guide
While this is encouraging, with your support, it could be ten thousand times more effective.
Again, I just know in my heart that the power of having the "choir" at your back is a wonderful thing when they all sing in unison.
Enjoy and SHARE my friends - SHARE as you have never SHARED before.

At 4am Saturday Feb 19th, the House passed $61 billion in cuts to the Federal Budget.
The Media immediately began reporting this as "draconian cuts"...as if these cuts would now result in grandmothers and widows starving and getting cast out of their homes and into the streets.
This short video puts the Federal Budget and those cuts into their proper perspective...which is anything but draconian.
The Economic Summit mentioned in the video is co-sponsored by Tea Party Nation:

This textbook is an overview of how computers are used in society, business, personal use etc. Lots of detail and discussion of related themes associated with the various chapters. Extra detail at end of each chapter that goes into depth, links are given to help with additional research of the topics. The web site associated with the book is quite interactive and helps with absorbing the information. None of the chapters go into intense depth but are simply an introduction for a first semester college student, lots of information though.

LinkedIn: Flawed Data Can't Fuel the Job Market Forever
Andre Mouton
Relying on big data means relying on imperfect information, which is why social media's role in the hiring process is limited.
There's always been an element of randomness to finding a job. Maybe you saw an ad in the paper, or knew someone who knew someone, or sent a lucky email. It could be that you ended up in a career you never would have anticipated, or like
one-third of college-educated workers
, a field you didn't major in. Serendipity isn't always a bad thing; how often do we really know what we want?
Hans Haringa had no idea what he wanted until Knack -- a Silicon Valley start-up -- told him. The
Atlantic Monthly
relates how
, by analyzing two decades' worth of data, Knack was able to show the
Royal Dutch Shell
(NYSE:RDS.A) executive what traits he had been unconsciously looking for in new hires: social intelligence, conscientiousness, and a tendency to let the mind wander (and thus stay open to possibilities), for example. Now, Mr. Haringa can "avoid wasting time" on the 80% of applicants who don't fit that profile. Conversely, 100% of applicants now know what traits to list on their résumé – and if they didn't, Knack could probably tell them.
So much for serendipity. These days, employers are leveraging data in their quests to find the perfect candidate. Employees are also turning to data in their quests to appear perfect. The result is something like the SAT test we all took in high school: a measure, not of intelligence, but of the ability to afford a prep course.
Consider that 22,000 businesses now use
(NYSE:LNKD) to screen potential job candidates, among other things. No surprise, then, that we have a growing industry of
professional profile writers
. Or that job seekers would pay the social network in order to become Featured Applicants, placing their applications at the top of the pile.
There are other, less expensive ways to game the system. Join the right groups. Expand your network. Trade "endorsements" with complete strangers. Avoid the buzzwords that LinkedIn
says to avoid
, and claim the skills that LinkedIn
says will land you a job
. Optimize yourself, much like you'd optimize a Web page for
(NASDAQ:GOOG) search engine.
Like people, data can be misleading. Hans Haringa thought that Knack was showing him the ideal candidate – not a reflection of his own bias. Businesses pore through data in order to find the perfect employee, never considering that they might be corrupting that data simply by placing so much importance on it. High school students are using LinkedIn to
identify the best college
for launching their future careers, but they're basing that decision on information from the network, whose user demographic
is skewed heavily
toward males, high earners, and specific industries like tech and finance.
And if the past is any indication, 36% of those future college students will regret their choice of major anyway.
We don't always know what we want, and we don't always know what we're measuring. Few 18-year-olds have their lives figured out. On the other hand, there are plenty of mediocre hiring managers who can't be expected to conceive of, much less identify, a "perfect" job candidate. Some of LinkedIn's 260 million users will play fair, but in all likelihood, some will not. Imperfect data is empowerimg imperfect people – so why would we expect the results to be anything other than, you know, not perfect?
CEO Jeff Weiner says that LinkedIn's goal is to "enable capital, all forms of capital – intellectual capital, working capital, human capital – to go to where it can be best utilized and leveraged." And yet the company's entire business is to reward those who pay, not those who qualify. Like the rest of us, LinkedIn has every incentive (in fact, 25 billion incentives) to fudge its résumé.
It could be that smaller, more specialized networks
like Doximity
– favored by medical professionals – are harder to game, and can provide employers with better data. I suspect, though, that many of them will find social media to contain too much misinformation, and they'll end up back where they started: on job boards, posting and praying, and trusting in serendipity.

At Henri Beene over the past few seasons we have had a good stable range of Hugo Boss Black accessories, cufflinks, wallets, gloves and scarves etc. We think now is the right time to unleash the Hugo Boss Black brand as a whole and stand next to the Hugo Boss Orange and Hugo Boss Green collection to create a trio of Hugo Boss clothing. The Hugo Boss Black collection holds a sense of sophistication and subtle fashion led design as oppose to maybe the Boss Green which this season is ideally bombarded with fresh vibrant colour and graphic design led tee shirts. The Hugo Boss Black range certainly holds a formal trend and allows a wearer to look at modern tailoring, clean cut polo shirts and offers a product for any occasion. Hugo Boss clothing is a brand of iconic status and each capsual collection focusses on different types of individual and alternative elements of fashion.
Take a look at our new Hugo Boss Black, Orange and Green collection and let us know what you think…. any comments or questions relating to our Hugo Boss Clothing collections are welcome!

|The Pats and Tom Brady (right) had no idea how big Matt Cassel would become in 2008. (Getty Images)
NFL camps open up this week with 90 players trying to make a final 53-man roster.
Expectations are high, and every team has some level of hope it can make the playoffs, get hot (as the Giants did last year) and with it all. Of course some of those expectations are a bit unrealistic but as many players said to me over the weekend out in Lake Tahoe at the Celebrity Golf Classic, "we have as good a chance as any team."
That player opinion may be true, but if some teams lose their quarterback their chances for any level of success goes straight down the drain.
Real backup quarterbacks who can win games are hard to find and usually cost upward of $3 million a season, but in my opinion are well worth the investment. Every team would love to tell the same story the Houston Texans told last year when Matt Schaub went down, Matt Leinart went down and rookie T.J. Yates came off the bench and led his team to the playoffs. Any GM or head coach counting on that scenario to play out if the starter goes down will probably be looking at a pink slip at the end of the season. Those scenarios are 1 in a 100.
What amazes me is the number of teams that are one QB injury away from asking a backup with little recent playing history -- or for a few quarterbacks no playing history -- to be ready to go on a moment's notice. And when I asked CBS analyst Phil Simms, he agreed that the NFL quarterback position may be the hardest position in sports to play, and to come off the bench with no recent playing time is almost impossible. Simms reminded me Matt Cassel did it, but that was a rare situation.
Ask yourself if your favorite team is in a solid position at the backup QB.
There are 10 No. 2 quarterbacks who haven't started a game in two years -- or in some cases ever. Among those 10 backups, they have combined to throw one touchdown pass and a total of 103 attempts overall in two years.
Talking about an Achilles' heel to a program, huh?
Take a look at these quarterbacks sitting in the second position. Is there a Yates or Cassel story in this group? Is there a Rich Gannon in this group? In his first three years, Gannon had no starts, no touchdowns and then started 13 games in relief in 1990. Or even better for the veterans on this list below, Gannon missed 1994 and had zero starts or touchdowns in 1995 and came back to be the NFL MVP in 2002.
|No. 2 QB
|Last Two Years
|Chris Redman
|0 starts, 22 of 34 passes, 0 td
|Tyrod Taylor
|0 starts, 1 pass, 0 td
|Adam Weber
|0 starts, no playing experience
|Green Bay
|Graham Harrell
|0 starts, no playing experience
|Kansas City
|Brady Quinn
|0 starts, no playing experience
|Sage Rosenfels
|0 starts, 10 of 15 passes,0 td
|New England
|Brian Hoyer
|0 starts, 6 of 8 passes, 1 td
|New Orleans
|Chase Daniel
|0 starts, 6 of 8 passes, 0 td
|N.Y. Giants
|David Carr
|0 starts, 5 of 13 passes, 0 td
|Mike Kafka
|0 starts, 11 of 16 passes, 0 td
There are other teams with questionable backup situations like San Diego (Charlie Whitehurst), St. Louis (Kellen Clemens) and Tampa Bay (Dan Orlovsky), but at least these backup quarterbacks have had some real field experience in the last two years.
On the other hand, there is comfort in Dallas (Kyle Orton), Chicago (Jason Campbell), Jacksonville (Chad Henne), Arizona (John Skelton), Miami (Matt Moore or David Garrard) and the New York Jets (Tim Tebow). Those clubs will have a real chance to win if the backup is needed.
Finally, the free-agent quarterback list is lean and really there's no place to turn at this late date if a team loses its starting quarterback any time after camp starts.
Teams have made their decisions and now it's time to let them play out.

Telltale Games announced the release date for "The Walking Dead Season Two: Episode 3 – In Harm's Way" on Friday. The latest episode in the episodic adventure series is just around the corner and a new trailer debuted as well with a chilling line from Kenny.
"Episode 3 – 'In Harm's Way" will be released to the PC first on Tuesday, May 13 to Steam, the Telltale Online Store and other distribution services. The Playstation 3 version will follow later that afternoon when the PSN Store updates.
The Xbox 360 will receive the episode early in the morning on May 14 when the Xbox Store is updated. It will also be available on the iOS App Store on May 15 as an in-app purchase. There's no release date for additional platforms yet such as the PS Vita.
The episode will cost $4.99 individually on the PSN Store, Xbox Store and iOS. A Season Pass is also available for the PC and all other platforms at a price that ranges between $14.99 and $24.99 depending on the service.
"In Harm's Way" picks up immediately from Episode 2 after Clem and the rest of her crew are captured by William Carver, voiced by Michael Madsen, and his small community of other survivors who follow his tyrannical rule. The trailer shows Clem is not satisfied with the situation at all and is trying to find a way for everyone to make an escape. It ends with some chilling words from Kenny, who was thought dead until the last episode.
"The Walking Dead" is the one of two episodic "choice and consequences" episodic games that Telltale Games currently has running. "The Wolf Among Us" is approaching its final episode of its first season but more franchises are currently in development. Both "Tales from the Borderlands" and "A Game of Thrones" are due to start their seasons later this year.
