Knock-out mice that lack the receptors made fewer distress calls compared with normal mice when they were separated from their mothers, according to the researchers around Francesca D'Amato, CNR Institute of Neuroscience, Psychology and Psychopharmacology, Rome. They conclude that mutations in the µ opoid receptor seem to play a role in human disorders like autism.

Officials with the Corhart plant in Buckhannon announced that as many as 64 employees will be temporarily furloughed beginning July 1.
The layoffs are not expected to be permanent, according to plant manager Jay Martin in a Notice of Mass Layoffs statement required under Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
"That number is a worst-case scenario," Saint Gobain corporate spokesman Bill Seiberlich said. "We hope it will be fewer than that."
Seiberlich said the furloughs will be done in stages, and they will be done as business conditions dictate. He said the demand for some of its products in the reinforcement market has declined recently. Corhart manufactures refractory products for the glass industry.
"We hope to bring our people back as soon as we can," Seiberlich said. "It will depend on the work we have on the floor."
There are about 150 employees working at the Buckhannon facility, and the production employees are represented for collective bargaining purposes by the United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO-CLC and the local union No. 477. There are seniority and qualification rights in the agreement between the company and the local union.
Seiberlich said there is no timetable as to when the furloughed workers could expect to return to their jobs. He said that will be determined as business conditions improve.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1994 Spring Tour."
I studied music at the University of North Texas from 1993-96, and I knew a couple guitarists who were planning on going to this show (The previous week was finals week). I didn't hear about the legend of this show until I came back and talked to the two guitarists, who now had Hoist and Rift on cd and Phish stickers on their guitar cases. It sounded cool, but I was skeptical. A couple months into that semester, I heard Junta and fell in love.
As with many fans, the second set of this show was one of the first sets I heard on cassette. This noob loved all the covers of classic rock songs that I was familiar with, and I still appreciate the band's approach to covering other artists. Listening to it today, I can hear the band's confidence in their musicianship taking a step forward from 12/31/93 and 8/13/93. This show makes a great LivePhish release, and even if the band never plays another note, I'll always have 5/7/94 to lift me back to the heavens.
And it's mostly for good. The closing HYHU>Tweezer Reprise is a truly amazing jam, the DDLJ ->Sweet Emotion ->Walk Away stretch is inspired, and Purple Rain is a real hoot, Fishman vacuum solo and all (why don't they pull that one out anymore?). This show, for me at least, stands as one of the linchpins for what it is that makes me so happy to be a Phish fan.
- This show shines through and through! To kick things off, the band opens with a very solid first set, including gorgeous renditions of Divided Sky & If I Could, down right nasty bass from Mike in Split Open And Melt, a tasty Mound, and the fan favorite Suzy Greenberg to finish things off.
Its the second set that makes this show an absolute MUST HAVE for the Phish fan who loves them for their ability to play with reckless abandon for 70 + minutes.
The Tweezerfest opens with a 25+ minute Tweezer with a heavy hard rock jam in the middle with mind-bending improv from Mike and Page that will send waves of pleasure up your spine! The "Fest" includes a nice "Sparks" (the Who tune), a chill "Makisupa Policeman", some "Sweet Emotions" jamming (Aerosmith), an entire "Walk Away" (Joe Walsh cover - included a Simplson's Signal 10 min into the tune), then "Cannonball," which closes out with a quality rendition of "Purple Rain."
The "Hold Your Head Up Jam" -> "Tweezer Reprise" will absolutely dazzle you and certainly left the entire Main Street District in Dallas begging for MORE.
The "Amazing Grace" --> "Sample" is a beautify to finish off a very special show.
Phish's unique ability to put together a seamless second second set is showcased in this MUSICAL ADVENTURE!
I got these tapes about a year after the show, and they got almost as much play as my 12/31/93 tapes. This was actually the first time I heard Phish (or anyone) play Loving Cup. Looking back it's strange seeing it open a set.

Thieves take 300-pound fire hydrant
Published: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 5:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 5:24 p.m.
NORTH PORT - Police are searching for someone who could be the strongest criminal in south Sarasota County.
Click here to view booking arrest photos from Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte jails at sarasotamugshots.com
A 300-pound fire hydrant was stolen near May Lane.
Police said the blue-and-yellow fire hydrant — which is worth about $1,200 — was unscrewed from its base by a city utility worker and was lying on its side Sunday evening.
When the utility worker came back Monday morning, the hydrant was gone.
North Port Police Capt. Anthony Sirianni recalled only one other instance of a stolen fire hydrant during his more than 20 years with the force.
He added that thefts of scrap metal and other items that could be sold to junk yards skyrocketed in North Port as a recession hit in 2008.
"It seemed for a while people were taking anything they could," Sirianni said. "I think (the utility worker) thought that since it was 300 pounds, no one would steal it. But if people think they can get away with it, they'll take almost anything."

Body of sixth victim found as Queensland's flood recovery begins
- From: AAP
- January 30, 2013
A SECOND body has been discovered in the Lockyer Valley west of Brisbane, bringing the death toll from the Queensland floods to six.
The Toowoomba Chronicle is reporting that the body, presumed to be missing Taiwanese man Jerry Yukun, was found 300 metres from where cars were found submerged in the flooded Sandy Creek at Glen Cairn.
Police media could not confirm the reports.
Mr Yukun, 25, went missing at the same time as a Malaysian farm worker, 34, whose body was found this morning.
The men, who were in separate cars, had been travelling from Gatton to Mulgowie to start work at a farm at 5am (AEST) and are believed to have been swept off the road by floodwaters.
A white 1997 Mitsubishi Magna, which police believe was being driven by the 25-year-old Taiwanese man, was found in the area yesterday afternoon.
"We're not too sure if they were known to each other,'' a police spokesman told AAP.
Vowing to rebuild Queensland, Premier Campbell Newman announced a Flood Appeal Committee, headed by former Bligh government treasurer Terry Mackenroth.
With the magnitude of the disaster becoming apparent, Mr Newman said the destruction to Queensland had been "absolutely massive''.
He called on the support of all Queenslanders to help rebuild.
"We can do this,'' he told reporters in Brisbane today.
Those confirmed dead are a three-year-old boy who had a tree fall on him in Brisbane and three men who died in floodwaters: one south of Brisbane, one at Burnett Heads near Bundaberg, and the other near Gympie.
In worst-hit Bundaberg, which was devastated as the Burnett River peaked at a record 9.6 metres, authorities moved into recovery mode today after the floods inundated about 2000 homes and 200 businesses.
Mr Newman said soldiers were en route to the sugar-farming town where more than 7500 residents have been forced to seek refuge in evacuation shelters or with family and friends.
"This morning we have 120 soldiers from the Enoggera army barracks in 44 vehicles heading north to Bundaberg,'' Newman told the ABC.
More army resources were on standby to help in Bundaberg and other surrounding flood-hit communities, he added.
An ABC reporter in the town said petrol stations had run out of fuel while a helicopter and boats were resupplying some of the smaller settlements around the area that remain cut off.
Meanwhile police said three people, including two teenage girls and a 25-year-old man, had been charged with looting in the Queensland town of Gympie during flooding there.
While Brisbane escaped the worst of the floodwaters, the deluge damaged water treatment plants and Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said there were concerns parts of the city of two million could run out of water.
"There is still a very real concern that water could run out,'' he told reporters, although Newman said provisions were in place to supply bottled water to any areas affected.
Governor-General Quentin Bryce urged the nation to dig deep and donate to Queensland's flood disaster victims, during an emotional visit to Bundaberg Hospital evacuees in Brisbane.
Ms Bryce said the people of Bundaberg are facing an extreme situation and urged Australians to give all the support they can.
"Come on Australians, remember who we are, what we stand for, our generosity, our volunteerism, our care for others,'' she told reporters outside the Royal Brisbane Hospital.
In Brisbane, the key challenge in the coming days will be to maintain water supplies after the flooding forced the shutdown of two processing plants.
Stocks of bottled water have been positioned around Brisbane amid fears taps could run dry in some suburbs today.
Flooding in the Brisbane River catchment has caused major problems at water treatment plants at Mt Crosby.
Repair crews are making some progress and have them partially running again, Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk says.
But there are fears they could break down again due to the extremely high amount of mud being carried by water feeding into the plants.
The suburbs at risk of losing mains water supply include Tarragindi, Camp Hill, Carina, Mount Gravatt, Tingalpa, Rocklea, and Oxley.
Premier Campbell Newman said supplies of bottled water have been positioned on the southside in case supplies run out.
''If any reservoir runs dry, we'll be immediately providing that for distribution to local areas,'' he told ABC television.
''This is very serious.''
He said residents across Brisbane and Ipswich must limit water use to the necessities of drinking, bathing and cleaning until the treatment plant was back on line.
Queensland Urban Utilities says production at the Mount Crosby plant has increased, but consumption is also going up - despite the call for people to conserve water.
He said water in Brisbane was currently being drawn from three sources - the Mount Crosby plant, North Pine dam and from a southern connector pipe drawing water from areas south of the city.
He said he expected to decide by about midday whether to make the bottled water stocks available to people in at-risk suburbs.
Mr Lewis said releases from Wivenhoe dam, that would help dilute the silt in water feeding into the Mount Crosby treatment plants, would gradually help production return to normal.
But he could not say exactly when full production would resume.

There was also a big clean up task ahead in the Lockyer Valley, and particularly in the town of Laidley, Mr Newman said.
''They haven't been forgotten out there, but there is great difficulty in getting around,'' he said.
The crisis was not over, with flooding expected in Rockhampton from Friday or Saturday, Mr Newman said.
''I advise people to plan trips carefully. They won't be able to get past Rockhampton later this week.''
In Maryborough, a young man who went missing while swimming in floodwaters has been found alive and well.
He had been seen swimming between the Queensland city's courthouse and Lennox Street on Monday night.
Police said the man, whose age is not known, was found this afternoon.
There was also good news for a hiker who set off alone for a bushwalk in central Queensland.
The 36-year-old man was was found in the Mount Dalrymple area at 9.30am today.
He started a solo day trek at Mount Dalrymple on Tuesday morning, west of Mackay and police were told at 10.45pm (AEST) that he'd failed to return.
A search began at first light involving an RACQ Rescue helicopter.
Also today police ruled out the possible drowning of a woman at Pacific Haven near Maryborough.
A witness reported seeing a woman drive into flood waters there on Sunday .
But police today said there had been no reports of anyone missing in that area.
Mr Newman toured Bundaberg on Tuesday and urged Queenslanders to aid disaster victims.
"They all need our support. We've got to reach out and help them now," he said.

Mr Newman also paid tribute to the resilience of residents, who in some cases have weathered four floods in three years.
About 2000 homes and 200 businesses were inundated when the river reached a record height on Tuesday afternoon.
More than 7500 displaced residents are seeking refuge in evacuation centres or with friends and family on higher ground.
"It's incredible to see the spirit of Queenslanders out on the streets of their cities and towns as they grapple with what is a big crisis."
Governor-General Quentin Bryce today will visit the valley towns of Laidley, Grantham and Withcott after spending time at a Brisbane hospital with patients evacuated from Bundaberg.
The news was better for residents of Brisbane and Ipswich in the southeast, where water levels peaked lower than expected.
Early indications are that water stayed below floorboard level in Brisbane, while about 35 homes in Ipswich had water in their living areas.
It was a world away from the disaster of January 2011.
Then, tens of thousands of homes in the southeast were inundated and Brisbane's damage bill ran into the tens of millions.
As the flood waters recede, attention will turn to the huge damage bill and recovery task.
Already 9800 insurance claims have been lodged in Queensland worth a combined $116 million, according to the Insurance Council of Australia.
The damage to infrastructure is still being assessed but it's been estimated the bill will still reach the hundreds of millions, without counting crop and livestock losses.
The Queensland Premier is urging people to donate to the government's Queensland Flood Appeal which is being coordinated with Red Cross.
Bruce Grady from Emergency Management Queensland said all efforts were underway to reach isolated communities outside the major flood-hit centres.
''While Bundaberg is the focus, we haven't forgotten about those other isolated communities,'' he told the Seven Network.
''I can assure everyone we have our best efforts in place to make sure we get to all of those communities as quickly as we possibly can.''
Meanwhile, Mr Newman opened his wallet after a patient evacuated from flooded Bundaberg complained about the cost of hiring a TV.
Mr Newman and Governor-General Quentin Bryce spent time with evacuees at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital hospital today.
When patient Sean Crozier complained to the Premier about the $30 cost of hiring a TV, Mr Newman handed him a $50 note.
The Premier had earlier said every Queenslander must do their bit to help those affected by the state's latest disaster.
In NSW, a massive clean-up is under way in the state's north as floodwaters subside, but some communities remain cut off and townspeople and farmers are struggling without power and supplies.
State Emergency Service Clarence-Nambucca spokeswoman Sam Colwell said while the Clarence River had dropped from Tuesday's record levels, Yamba and Iluka at the river's mouth were likely to be isolated for at least two more days.
The SES has issued a minor flood warning along the Macintyre River for Boggabilla in northwest NSW.
The river is expected to peak at 9.7 metres today.
Bogabbilla is about 9km downstream of the Queensland town of Goondiwindi, where major flooding is occurring with levels steady at 8.6 metres.
Minor flood warnings are also in place for the Hunter River at Singleton with a peak expected around midday (AEDT).
Moderate flooding is expected at Maitland later tonight and minor flooding from the Wollombi Brook occurred at Bulga, also in the Hunter region.
Meanwhile, the SES says major flooding continues to ease along the Clarence River at Grafton and Ullmarra.
The Clarence hit 3.1 metres near Maclean and is not expected to rise further, the Bureau of Meteorology said today.
On Tuesday, the river peaked at 8.08 metres in Grafton, upstream from Maclean, the highest level in recorded history.
About 750 people evacuated from Maclean on Tuesday night have been able to return after an ''all clear'' was issued this morning.
About 2000 people were evacuated from Grafton which avoided widespread devastation with waters only two centimetres below a level expected to cause severe inundation.
There's a possibility of showers around Maclean over the next few days, but the rain isn't expected to cause further flooding, the Bureau of Meteorology told AAP.
"It does appear as though the worst of it is over," NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell said.
Mr O'Farrell jointly announced with Prime Minister Julia Gillard the declaration of 10 local government disaster areas to unlock federal and state funds for flood-hit families and businesses.
The Insurance Council estimates about 2000 claims worth $10 million have already been lodged in NSW.
For more on NSW's recovery, see The Daily Telegraph
Concerns remain for some towns downstream, including Yamba, Ulmarra and Maclean, but Mr O'Farrell said he was delighted the river level had gone down to 7.95m and was still dropping.
"Now we are in recovery mode," said State Emergency Services commissioner Murray Kear, as the low-pressure system responsible for the severe flooding in Queensland and NSW moved off the coast.
NSW escaped the loss of life suffered in Queensland, although 50 people had to be rescued and 3500 called for assistance, mainly around Grafton.
Citrus growers devastated by floods
Judy Shepherd, the secretary of the Gayndah and District Fruit Growers Association, says damage in the town and surrounding fruit orchards has been catastrophic.
She said the latest flood is the third natural disaster in recent years and she's afraid many growers won't recover.
As well, some citrus orchards had been completely wiped out, parts of others had simply dropped into the Burnett River and the infrastructure damage was enormous.
''We've heard of some that have gone,'' she told ABC television.
She said the impact on the region, particularly Gayndah and Mundubbera, would be severe and long-lasting.
''Catastrophic - hundreds of millions of dollars damage just in the citrus industry,'' she said.
Chief Executive of Citrus Australia Judith Damiani says there may be a shortage of Australian lemons in supermarkets for the start of the season in February.
About 50 per cent of Australia's lemons and 60 per cent of mandarins are produced in the Burnett region.
Ms Damiani said 40 farmers in the region say their packing sheds, irrigation systems, farm equipment and homes have been seriously damaged.
The damage bill will be higher than two years ago.
Insurers blame councils for flood damage
The fight over who is to blame for the damage from the Queensland floods has begun.
The Insurance Council of Australia says the local and state governments should and could have done more to protect their communities from flooding.
Nearly 10,000 claims have been lodged and the damage bill is $116 million and rising.
Brisbane-based Suncorp, the owner of AAMI and GIO, is set to be the worst affected of the major insurance companies, already fielding about 4000 claims for flood and storm damage.
Insurance Council of Australia CEO Rob Whelan says some of the damage could have been avoided if the state and local governments had done more.
He said the state government's flood mitigation budget was not enough.
''$40 million is good but it needs way more than that,'' he told ABC's Lateline program on Tuesday.
''Let's take a levee for example, $15 million roughly to build a levee, but that may actually save that community $100 million.''
Mr Whelan singled out Brisbane and Ipswich as councils that could have done more, especially by preventing development in certain areas, or insisting that homes be built on stilts.
''Mitigation works and control of certain flood areas and prevention of development in certain areas actually will increase the overall level of protection in the community and lower the overall level of risk, which goes to the premiums and the costs,'' he said.
''If you continue to build developments on a flood plain, ultimately they're going to be affected and that's what we've been doing for the last 20, 30, 40 years.''
The comments outraged Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale, who says Mr Whelan is in for a war.
''The whole of Australia, the whole of Queensland and all of these people are hurting and you want to come in and start the blame game,'' he told ABC.
''It's very un-Australian.''
Mr Pisasale said the council had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on flood mitigation and had stringent town planning requirements.
He said he would talk to federal Financial Services Minister Bill Shorten seeking further reforms to the insurance industry.
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman doesn't have a problem with a debate about what more could be done for flood mitigation, but questioned the appropriateness of the timing of Mr Whelan's comments.
He said a statewide flood mitigation program is underway, where local government chips in $20m and the state $40m.
''We're getting on with it,'' he said.
''Would we like to put more money in? Yes.
''More needs to be done to find engineering solutions or alternative innovative solutions to protect our communities and make them more resilient.''
Mr Newman said he'd be fighting in the corner of people who are going to need insurance payouts.
But he said that although the state and local governments had chipped into the statewide flood mitigation scheme, the federal government was yet to come to the table.
He had asked the Commonwealth to contribute $40 million.
''So far we actually haven't had the federal government leaping to their feet to say, 'Hey we'll be part of this','' he said.

No doubt we will start to hear all the rhetoric that (G.M.)global warming is the cause of all the recent bush fires in W.A. and N.S.W. and the cause of the tornadoes and flooding devastating the Australian south eastern coast, but it is not just at home we should be looking and taking note of such disasters, look back over the say past five years and list down all of the major destructive disasters around the world such as tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, and fires etc and there have been many that have caused death and destruction on a grand scale. The point I make is that while people will say that these types of disasters have been occurring for thousands of years and yes they have, and I suppose there can be some truth that over time global warming may have had some influence on some of these past disasters, it is highly unlikely in my opinion. We are however experiencing these natural disasters more frequently and they are occurring at a much faster pace. Perhaps we should all take a moment to reflect if (G.W.) actually means Global warming or are we not getting the message, are we all missing the point, should not (G.W.) be interpreted as being Gods warning.
We Used To Call It Rain of SEQ Posted at 11:53 AM January 29, 2013
OMG the places that flood every time there's decent rain are flooding, it must be a disaster. News presenters (they are NOT journalists any more) nod sagely at cameras in front of creeks and known flood spots in live crosses while the bleeding obvious is asked of them ("will this 'known flooding spot' flood this time?"). This is a weather event people with some local flooding NOT the end of the world. I wish the media and politicians would stop sensationalising every weather event in a blatant 'look at me' strategy that tries to show them as compassionate, all knowing and important.

And do you really think this clown Newman and his lot are going to do any better I think not ! !


text: I will admit that I don't share the same affinity for death metal that a seemingly massive portion of the metal world does. It's not that I'm against the genre on philosophical grounds, or that I've never found any bands that I enjoy, but on the whole I've simply never been gripped by the constant onslaught of brutality that so many others lap up. I can appreciate the talent and skill that goes into writing and playing much of the material, but at its best death metal feels emotionally hollow to me, and at its worst it feels downright silly.

November 30, 2005
Judge Bowen also came down hard on three of Walker's businesses, finding them guilty of conspiracy and fraud. News 12 looks at the future of one of those businesses, the Augusta Focus weekly newspaper.
Metro Courier owner and publisher Barbara Gordon knows the ins and outs of running a small newspaper. She's been in business for 23 years.
"I don't have 20 reporters like the larger papers might have, the smaller papers have to establish very strong relationships," Gordon said.
Like Barbara Gordon, former state senator Charles Walker runs a small paper, the Augusta Focus. In federal court, Walker and three of his businesses were found guilty on conspiracy and fraud charges in June. On Tuesday, a federal judge sentenced Walker to 10 years and one month in federal prison.
"Senator Walker is a very smart person and I am sure he prepared just in case worst case scenario so to speak," Gordon said.
The Augusta Focus has been in business for nearly 25 years, but will the small newspaper that operates out of the Walker Group be able to survive after being ordered to pay $212,000 in restitution? And in addition, the owner Charles Walker himself ordered to pay more than $698,000 in restitution.
At Augusta Focus offices, the former senator wasn't talking about the future.
"It puts another twist in the situation for them, but I think they are going to do okay," Gordon said.
Partly because of the paper's history, local readers, and supporters of Charles Walker.
"If you get the right team of writers, good sales staff, Senator Walker over the years has built a lot of alliances and they are going to support the paper and if you are somebody's friend you should be there for them during hard times," Gordon said.
Barbara Gordon says with a dedicated base, the Augusta Focus will not go away that quickly, if at all.
In addition to Walker's $700,000 in restitution he has to pay, the Augusta Focus is paying $212,000 in restitution. The Walker Group must pay more than $306,000 in restitution. The Focus, The Walker Group and Georgia personnel must also pay fines.

There is hope for the world and I found it in your letters tucked away in my e-mail among offers for post-holiday savings and public relations pitches.
You care. When I wrote last week about plunging my family into digital darkness with my grand plan to upgrade our home Wi-Fi service by replacing our 8-year-old router, you could have ignored me. You could have belittled me, mercilessly mocked me, wondered how someone living in Silicon Valley could be so dim when it comes to the technological tools that have become life's necessities.
Instead you offered suggestions and warm words of support. You shared your own tales of upgrades gone bad and stood shoulder to shoulder with me in decrying the corporate interests who promise us such convenience and then pull the promise away as soon as we lay down our cash.
Some of you suggested specific products or services that might ease my pain. I'd love to recommend them, but as you might have gathered, I'm not necessarily the best judge of the best way to improve Wi-Fi connectivity. Ram Malasani, CEO of Securifi, a Taiwan-based company, even offered to send me his company's new touch-screen router, which is banking on ease-of-use as a selling point. But then he had a realization: "I have a feeling that you would not be interested in looking at routers for another eight years."
A reader named MacRat offered to come over to my house to work on our network. No, he wouldn't be the first rat to visit, but somehow a house call seemed too much to ask, no matter how kind the offer.
And kindness is the key. It's helped immensely in my recovery from technological tragedy. A quick recap: When I decided to replace our old Apple (AAPL) router with a new and improved Apple router, it didn't go well. As soon as I plugged in the new AirPort Extreme, our aged AT&T-supplied DSL modem croaked. When I replaced the DSL modem, the Apple Wi-Fi device we use to stream music from our desktop, laptops and mobile devices to our stereo speakers croaked. And even after I replaced that, we could no longer use the wireless feature on our Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) printer.
The ugly statistics: $350 spent; three new pieces of hardware purchased; two trips to the Apple store (including a Genius Bar session); 80 hours without Internet service; zero printers working the way they should.
"I enjoyed your column, 'Replacing Apple AirPort brings winter's darkest days,' as a reminder to me of how it is for folks who are not techno-nerds," writes John Notor, who is a techno-nerd, specifically president and chief technologist at valley tech consultancy Notor Research.
Yes, he had his own story of a yearlong volunteer project to upgrade his church's Wi-Fi. It was a year of frustration in part because technology does not gallop ahead at an even pace. Old digital infrastructure can be a weak link to new digital upgrades along our technology chains.
Even accomplished technologists can be left screaming or blubbering at the futility of it all. Your emails to me said "You are not alone." And maybe that's the point. Should making our tech lives better really be so hard? Shouldn't the big tech companies that have developed some of the most brilliant devices, software, networks and business plans known to man and woman be able to provide products that work without driving consumers insane?
In fact, taken together your letters left me thinking that when it comes to technology, making things worse by trying to make things better was practically universal.
"As I'm typing this note, I'm glancing over at the still-in-the-box D-Link N300 router I picked up last week and coming to realize I'd almost prefer to perform open heart surgery on my border collie than try to hook up a new piece of hardware," wrote Bob Diddlebock, of Denver. Diddlebock was sure the process would involve calls to his Internet service provider and tech support fees. It's the sort of thing that used to make him mad, he says, but now he takes a deep breath and takes the most expedient route he can think of. Such as?
"My salvation could well be in the hands of the 13-year-old geek who lives down the hall in my apartment building."
Or how about this for perspective? Carol Voss and her family in Prunedale "were cruising along in iCloud heaven." Their iPhone and iPad and Dell laptop were "all speaking in chorus and exchanging information magically."
You know what's coming, right? With technology, it's always brightest before the impenetrable darkness. Voss upgraded her operating system. Disaster. After three hours on the phone with Apple support, she writes, the Apple person suggested she make an appointment at the Genius Bar. Not just an appointment; a double appointment.
After reading Voss' story, I do feel a little sheepish. I mean, I thought I had problems. Now I figure that you don't really have problems unless you have double-Genius-Bar-appointment problems.
Which isn't to say that I don't appreciate your support. In fact, thanks for listening and for pulling me back from the brink.

30 April 2012 Help test London's Tube lifts
I received this invitation this morning on testing public transport in London prior to the Olympic and Paralympic Games. It sounds like a good opportunity for those of us in the London area.
Dear Stakeholder.
London Underground is currently holding a series of Olympic exercises with disabled customers and other users of lifts (e.g. pushchair users), in order to prepare for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. These will help us test out plans for making sure that disabled people and other lift users get the assistance they need when using the Tube during the Games.
The next exercise event will be held during the Games' Athletics Test Event which will provide conditions similar to those we are expecting during the Olympics. We are looking for a maximum of 40 participants to take part in the Olympic Exercise.
During the test event we will be asking trial participants to queue at lifts and travel between stations on the network making use of the lifts. All of the journeys we make will be suitable for wheelchair users. We will ask for your feedback on this experience. In payment for your time and help we are offering £35.00 plus travel expenses. Please be aware that it may take up to 90 days for payments to be made, and that a full payment will only be made to those participants who attend the whole of the session.
As we want to replicate Games' time conditions where people might be travelling together, we welcome people bringing a friend with them, who would then be counted as a participant. Although, if you wish to come by yourself that is also fine. If you will require any assistance during the trial this will be accommodated; please advise us of this when you reply.
Date: Saturday 5th May
Location: 14 Pier Walk, London, SE10 0ES. The briefing will be held here, before we move out onto the tube network.
Start time: 10:00
End time: 13:00
Duration: 3 hours
Additional details: The nearest tube is North Greenwich which has step-free access from street to train.
If you are interested in taking part please contact me by 12:00 on Wednesday 2nd May with your full name, postal address (for payment which will be sent by cheque) and any access requirements you have. Please also let me know whether you and anyone accompanying you will require a ticket for travel during the event or whether you will be using your freedom pass.
Please also contact me if you have any questions or would like help planning your journey. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
(020) 7918 4203 (Auto: 44203)

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Women's Tennis team will play host to Louisiana-Lafayette on Monday afternoon, with the match scheduled for a 2 p.m. start at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. Fans who cannot make it out to the match will be able to watch online at www.GoIslanders.com.
The Islanders (4-0) come into the match fresh off of a 6-1 win over Texas – Pan American on Feb. 7 at the Henry Tennis Center. ULL (1-2) picked up its first win of the year on Sunday with a 5-2 victory over the same UTPA Broncs squad.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi has gotten off to a fast start, opening the year with a win over nationally ranked Houston before taking home wins over Central Arkansas in a Southland Conference match, Prairie View A&M on the road and the win against UTPA in the home opener.
ULL opens the year with six straight matches on the road, falling to Denver and Air Force before getting into the win column against the Broncs in their first three matches. After the Islanders, the Ragin' Cajuns will travel to Southland members Lamar and Stephen F. Austin before hosting their first home match.
Admission to the 2 p.m. match is free for all fans, and those who cannot make it out to the Henry Tennis Center can purchase the video stream of the match online at www.GoIslanders.com.

Central Arkansas comes to the American Bank Center, as the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team concludes its brief, two-game homestand with a Saturday afternoon matchup against the Bears. The Islanders fell to ORU on Thursday, while UCA lost at Sam Houston State.
• The Islanders have one of the youngest teams in Division I, with an average age of 20 years, four months and 17 days heading into today's matchup.
• Will Nelson delivered his second double-double of the season against ORU, scoring 18 points to go with 10 rebounds. He also had a double-double against Stephen F. Austin.
• The Islanders have shot 70 percent or better from the line in six of their last seven games, and have a .709 free-throw percentage this year – second best in the Southland and an improvement of .109 from a season ago.
• Johnathan Jordan matched the school record with 11 assists against Lamar, combining it with 15 points for his second career double-double.
• A&M - Corpus Christi had 10 turnovers at Lamar, the fifth time this season with 10 or fewer turns.
• Hameed Ali has gone 8-for-12 over the last two games with 19 points. He has added four assists and four steals over that span.
• Texas A&M - Corpus Christi is ineligible for the postseason because of poor results in the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate. No Islander who has played under Wilson had anything to do with the subpar score.
The Islanders and Central Arkansas meet for the seventh time in the history of the two programs. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi has never lost to the Bears, posting identical 3-0 marks both in the Coastal Bend and in Conway. In each of the last two seasons, the Islanders won their season finale by defeating UCA.
In last year's contest between the teams, Chris Hawkins-Mast had a career-high 25 points in his final game in an Islanders uniform to lead A&M - Corpus Christi to a 67-65 win at the American Bank Center. Among returners, Johnathan Jordan had 10 points and Hameed Ali had nine for the Islanders. LaQuentin Miles and Jarvis Garner both return after finishing with 18 and 15, respectively, in last year's contest.
Central Arkansas and Lamar are the only two remaining winless teams in conference play, with the Bears checking in at 0-5 in the Southland and 5-10 overall. UCA posted non-conference victories over three Division I foes, notching consecutive wins over Eastern Illinois, UT Martin and Southeast Missouri in December. Since knocking off Central Baptist on New Year's Eve, the Bears have lost their last five.
UCA has a quartet of strong offensive players helping them to average 77.3 points per game, second-highest in the league. However, the Bears have allowed a league-high 78.5 points per contest. Robert Crawford and LaQuentin Miles each average 15.2 points per game, while Jarvis Garner (14.7) and Jordan Harks (10.1) also are scoring in double figures. Garner leads the team with 6.7 rebounds, but the Bears have four players averaging 4.6 or better.
The Islanders got off the schneid with a 62-56 win at Lamar on Saturday, snapping a 12-game losing streak that dated back to the season opener. A&M - Corpus Christi jumped out to a 31-20 halftime lead after shooting 13-for-25 in the first half, delivering 11 of their 16 shots inside the arc. Lamar made a pair of strong runs at the Islanders, but A&M - Corpus Christi held them off at the free throw line.
Despite the Islanders' struggles in the win column and with offensive fouls, the team has been surprisingly efficient when it comes to turnovers. A&M - Corpus Christi is averaging 12.1 per game – fewer than their opponents' 13.1 – and ranked 50th in the nation as of Jan. 17. The Islanders posted just seven turnovers at McNeese State and 10 at Lamar, their fourth and fifth games this season with 10 turns or fewer.
Earlier in the year, the Islanders took care of the ball like no other time in program history. After posting six turnovers at Utah State – the second lowest total in school lore – the Islanders matched the school record with only five turns against Houston.
The Oklahoma contest was an obvious exception, though. The Islanders turned the ball over 18 times, and many of the turns were unforced. It marked just the third game this season that the Islanders had more than 15 turnovers (19 against TLU, 16 at Toledo).
Nonetheless, it is a marked improvement from the ball control for the team from last season. A&M - Corpus Christi averaged 15.2 turnovers per game and ranked 291st in the country out of 338 teams. The Islanders had 14 games with 15 turnovers or more last year, and just three with 10 or fewer.
He's only a sophomore, but Houston native Johnathan Jordan has been thrust into the role of leader on the young Islanders squad. Jordan led the Southland in assists per game in 2011-12, and despite his newbie status was also among the leaders in minutes per game.
Jordan was outstanding as a distributor a season ago, but his growth as a scorer is notable. After averaging 6.5 points last year, the point guard has contributed 12.1 points per game, largely on his ability to get to the rim and the free-throw line. Despite his 5-foot-10 frame, he leads the team with 84 points in the paint and has hit a team-best 70 free throws, including a 12-for-13 performance at the line against McNeese. His 12 free throws are tied for fourth-most in a game in Islanders history.
Perhaps more impressive is Jordan's all-around game. His distribution is what he is most known for, and with 4.9 assists per game this year, he sits third in the Southland. Last week at Lamar, he posted 11 assists, matching the school record, and had his second career double-double. He has 73 assists this season and 211 for his career, placing him fifth all-time.
Jordan is also strong on the glass, having grabbed five-plus rebounds eight times this year. He shows high on the stamina scale as well, where he is second in the Southland at 35.3 minutes per game. He has been on the court for 37 minutes or more eight times this year.
The diminutive guard is one of the most athletic Islanders, as evidenced by his two slam-dunk contest championships, thanks to his 48-inch running vertical leap. His 138 assists last season set a school record.
The Islanders' struggles at the free-throw line were well documented last year. A&M - Corpus Christi shot just 360-for-600 (.600) at the line a year ago.
But this year, the team has improved significantly, hitting at a .709 clip that has them second in the Southland. The Islanders have four regulars shooting .710 or better, with Zane Knowles (10-for-18, .556) the only player with more than six attempts to sit below that threshhold. Hameed Ali leads the way at .826, while Johnathan Jordan is second at .745. At McNeese State, the Islanders went 22-for-27, led by a 12-for-13 performance by Jordan.
In 2011-12, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi ranked 331st in the nation in free-throw shooting. As of Jan. 17, the Islanders sat 112th in the nation this year. They have shot .700 or better in six of the last seven games.
No newcomer on the Islanders roster came in with higher expectations than junior Will Nelson. The skilled wing was expected to play a major role in the team's offensive output, and he has shown on several occasions that he has the ability to fulfill those expectations.
The McNeese State contest was the most recent example, as the Louisiana native thrived in his return to his home state, knocking down four threes en route to 24 points and nine rebounds. It marked Nelson's third game this season with 20 points.
He posted the first double-double for the Islanders this season with 24 points and 14 rebounds against Stephen F. Austin, going 9-for-17 from the field. He added his second double-double on Thursday, when he had 18 points and 10 rebounds. His career high in points is 28, when he added eight rebounds against Houston.
The junior college transfer is averaging 14.3 points and 7.4 rebounds for the Islanders, including an average of 17.6 points and 9.6 rebounds in conference contests. He has struggled a bit with his accuracy, though, shooting .367 overall and .279 from beyond the arc.
Nelson is attending his fifth different school in the last five years. He took last season off of basketball to focus on academics at Dodge City Community College. Prior to that, he played a year each at Hutchinson CC and Baton Rouge CC after graduating from Port Allen (La.) High School.
In a freshman class that is punctuated by a trio of skilled guards – Brandon Pye, Jelani Currie and Cole Martinez – the first-year player who has shined brightest has been a post from Leighton Buzzard, England, Dale Francis. The Canarias Basketball Academy product has been one of the most consistent performers for the Islanders as of late.
In the last five games, Francis has averaged 24.8 minutes, including a career-high 30 at McNeese State. A strong defender, Francis emerged on the offensive end in Lake Charles, posting six points on 3-of-4 shooting and snaring five rebounds, three offensive.

LAKE TAHOE — North Tahoe Arts is pleased to announce ARTour 2012 is ready to launch, July 12-15.
ARTour is an open studio event featuring artists from the Truckee Tahoe region. In its 19th year, ARTour 2012 will feature 28 new and returning artists. The genres and mediums of artists' work include watercolors, pastels, oils and acrylics, glass art and woodworking, custom jewelry, photography, printmaking, ceramics and mixed media.
Open studios will be spread throughout the region, from Truckee to Incline Village, Kings Beach, Tahoe City and the West Shore. ARTour attendees are encouraged to pick up the ARTour brochure, which features artist bios, samples of their artwork, maps and directions to the studios. The brochure is your guide to ARTour — plan a day of touring Lake Tahoe and Truckee, while enjoying great regional art.
The brochures will be available in June and can be picked up at North Tahoe Arts Artisan Shop in Tahoe City, and from partnering businesses throughout the region. All artists will have their work for sale and many, but not all, are able to accept credit and debit cards.
ARTour 2012 will feature a mix of ARTour veterans such as Cathy McClelland, Don Eagling, Sue Gross, Jenny Antonucci, Carol Sesko and Andy Skaff, plus an exciting mix of new artists.
Brad Lee Henry is new to ARTour, and North Tahoe Arts is excited about his unique and inspiring pottery. His wheel thrown and slab constructed stoneware pottery is high fired in a gas reduction environment. Brad's pieces are filled with colorful swirls and other contemporary patterns. Some pieces have Asian inspired whimsical scenes of nature. "I enjoy the usefulness of the ceramic object; pieces that work well in our hands and in our kitchens," Henry said. "Pieces should be fun to use and fun to look at and proud to give." Brad's studio is in Truckee.
Toni Rockwell is another new artist to ARTour this year, whose work was chosen for the cover of the 2012 ARTour brochure. Toni is a longtime West Shore resident, retired elementary school teacher and fused glass artist. Toni's fused glass work reflects her love of people and life. Her glass is infused with a variety of colors, shapes and textures that reflect joy and peace. Toni's work includes many items — jewelry, plates, table and wall art. Her studio is on the West Shore.
Six Incline Village artists will open their studios during the tour: William Cooper and JoAnn Lippert, Jan Foss, Donald R. Britton, Joyce Major and Robert Mimiaga.
In Truckee, Eva Stramer-Nicols, Pam Sutton, Loreen Thomas, Sue Gross and Tom Beebe have joined efforts and will feature all their works at

Student Safety on Roads: Drive for Life
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 12:00 a.m.
If Florida legislators, who are considering legislation that would ban texting while driving, need any information, or better yet, any inspiration to make it law, they ought to learn about a project of students at North Marion High School. The school is a bit north of Ocala, in Marion County.
The students of North Marion have turned personal and community tragedy into a driving safety success story that ought to put any opponent to the so-called anti-texting law to shame.
Between 2005 and 2010, the North Marion community lost 10 students to automobile crashes. It is a close-knit, rural community, and virtually everyone who lives there knew the victims or their families. To say it left the community scarred is an understatement.
The students of North Marion had enough of going to their friends' funerals, so they decided that if anyone was going to stop the mayhem on North Marion roads, it was them.
They did what no adults would or possibly could do. They created a driver-safety-awareness program called Drive for Life.
Drive for Life isn't so much a driver-safety program as an education-and-awareness program.
A student committee organizes an ongoing awareness campaign. Once a year, the Drive for Life Committee holds an assembly for the entire student body in which it reminds the students of the North Marion lives lost. There are pictures, speeches from victims' loved ones and statistics about what happens when you drink and drive, when you speed, and when you drive distracted, that is, while texting.
Since 2010, when the program was started, there has not been one student's life lost because of a traffic accident. Moreover, surveys have shown students are buckling up more, slowing down and assigning designated drivers at parties.
"Something we've notice is that people admonish people now," said Wesley Sapp, the school's student body president and a driving force behind Drive for Life. "That's where you see the biggest change. Friends are speaking up. They're telling their friends it's wrong."
The student government has lobbied the Florida Legislature, with little success.
Our lawmakers would do our children and all of us a service by listening to the Drive for Life crowd and enacting not only distracted-driving restrictions, but also a Drive for Life program in every Florida high school. It is kids teaching kids. And it is working.
Victoria Alvarez, one of the Drive for Life organizers, gave the best reason for such action: "No child should have to attend a funeral of their friend."

News 12 This Morning / Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Richmond County deputies are searching for a killer after a teenager was shot to death in the backyard of a home in Barton Village.
Kathy Middleton looks at the crime scene tape in her backyard.
"It really shook me up, it really did," said Middleton, who lives in the home on Amsterdam Drive with her father, son and brother.
On Wednesday night she had just laid down for bed around 9:30 when she heard the shooting start.
"It was like five gunshots and I jumped on the floor," she said. "My son said he just covered up."
Middleton's son was in the back corner room of the house when that shooting happened. He said out his window he heard running and arguing in this back yard. Seconds later, shots were fired.
"My neighbors across the street, her kids were sitting right there," she said. "That's what they do. They were playing and they had just gone in the house and the bullet could've hit them or anything. Any child could've been hit by a bullet or killed."
Unfortunately, two people were hit. The shooting sent one person to the hospital and left 16-year-old Martez Davis dead.
"I didn't know the 16-year-old, but it just broke my heart when the cop told me that he died," Middleton said. "He ran right down there and died. It's just really sad. It really is."
It's something she says has become all too common.
"These kids out here now they've gotten so awful and they don't show anybody any respect," she said. "They get these guns, they get to shooting and they don't know what they're shooting at."
She says she hoped people, especially teenagers, would've thought twice before picking up a gun just one week after the tragedy in Newtown.
"I would have thought it would have, but evidently it just seems like they can pick up a gun. I don't know where they're getting these guns from. I really don't know."
Just days before Christmas, one family is now without their son and Middleton says it needs to stop before it happens to someone else.
"Only thing I can do is pray for them and just hope that their parents talk to them before it's too late, before anybody else gets killed," she said.
Investigators are working to figure out exactly what led to the shooting. They have not released any information on a suspect but say they do have a few leads they are following.
The person in the hospital was shot in the leg and is expected to fully recover.
Initial report:
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A teenager is dead and another person is in the hospital after a late-night shooting on Amsterdam Drive.
Richmond County Deputies were called out to the 2300 block of Amsterdam Drive shortly after 9:40 p.m. Wednesday night in reference to gun shots being fired.
Richmond County Deputy Coroner Kenneth Boose has identified the victim as 16-year-old Martez S. Davis of Augusta. He was pronounced dead at 10:22 p.m. at Georgia Health Sciences.
Boose says Davis was shot at least one time, an autopsy is scheduled for Thursday morning in Augusta.
The second man was found with a gunshot wound to his leg on Prague Court and is expected to fully recover.
News 12 will keep you updated as more information comes into the newsroom.

PARKERSBURG - More than 50 people attended the ribbon-cutting for West Virginia University at Parkersburg's downtown culinary arts center Wednesday.
The program will be a two-year associate's degree program with a blend of traditional classroom and online courses and will include all phases of cooking and provide students a local, more affordable option for culinary arts education.
Gene Evans, head of the culinary arts academy, provided tours of the kitchen space and its half million dollars in equipment.

Gene Evans is the head of the culinary arts academy faculty for WVU-P.
WVU-P President Marie Foster Gnage said the culinary school was a small part of WVU-P's downtown center. Gnage had a laundry list of thank-yous and used the event to mention help will be needed as the school moves toward phase II - creating a virtual conference center and small business incubator.
Gerard El Chaar, vice chairman of the WVU-P Board of Governors, called the downtown old glory and the facility was a step in the right direction.
Parkersburg Mayor Bob Newell said the downtown campus was a monumental task and it was an easy decision for the city to pitch in and help.
"WVU-P has been a catalyst for other businesses, along with Highmark West Virginia," Newell said. "It's very important for downtown."
Jim Skidmore, chancellor of the Community and Technical College System of West Virginia, said the program is another project to prepare students to enter the workforce in careers that are in demand.
"It also enhances economic development in the region," he added. Skidmore said the added development to the region is a component the community and technical colleges strive to achieve.
WVU-P spokeswoman Katie Wootton said the program begins March 11, and applications will be accepted until this program is filled. Currently, there are seven students enrolled. School officials hope to have 12.

In 1917, when the United States entered the European war, Kinyoun had been largely forgotten by the public, but the "Kinyoun portable bed disinfectors" (for bedding, clothing, dressings, and for killing lice) he had coinvented were still being used for sterilization in newly built Army hospitals. Always quietly patriotic—and in uniform throughout most of his adult life—Kinyoun now sought to join the Army. Old friends rallied around him. Somehow, at age 57, he was given an active duty commission as an expert epidemiologist assigned to the beloved region of his birth, the cantonments in North and South Carolina. Perhaps an old Bellevue colleague, now Army Surgeon General Gorgas, had pulled some strings. Kinyoun was working in the places he loved best, directly under Gorgas and one of his senior staff officers, Colonel Victor C. Vaughan (1851–1929), another bacteriologist friend stationed in North Carolina, to investigate statewide typhoid epidemics. Four months after deployment, Kinyoun found a lump in his neck; biopsy revealed an inoperable lymphosarcoma, a fatal diagnosis. Vaughan helped him circumvent Army regulations to get the best civilian care available; Welch, also now on active duty as a Brigadier General, may have arranged for his treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Kinyoun still carried the old rabbit's foot (25), but it no longer brought him luck. On 15 August 1918, he drafted both a will and a letter of instruction to Lizzie that upon his death he be buried with their daughter Bettie, who had died of diphtheria—by now both a vaccine-preventable and a serum-curable disease—30 years earlier. As his health declined, Kinyoun, apparently under the protection of Army medical friends, was reassigned on 6 December 1918 as a pathologist to Washington's Army Medical Museum, where his late friend Walter Reed had been curator, and finally, one day before his death, to Surgeon General Gorgas' office. Kinyoun died at home of "myocardial insufficiency" (primary death certificate diagnosis), with Lizzie at his side, and the Army physician caring for him, Captain George C. Smith, in attendance, at 4:45 p.m. on Valentine's Day, 14 February 1919. He was by that time forgotten by all but a few old timers. Lizzie died in 1948, and the couple was reunited in a single Centerview gravesite with their daughter Bettie.
Along with others of the 116,707 fallen American soldiers of the Great War, Kinyoun's name was placed within the cornerstone of the World War I Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC. A marble statue to World War I's fallen District of Columbia employees, with Kinyoun's name engraved upon it, sits largely unnoticed in a stairwell of the District's Municipal Building on Pennsylvania Avenue, not far from the White House. Kinyoun's second son, Conrad Houx Kinyoun (1896–1948), became a medical scientist who worked for a time at the NIH, married into the North Carolina Craighill family of noted Rockefeller scientist Rebecca Lancefield (1895–1981), and became Director of Savannah, Georgia's, Department of Health Laboratories. The Liberty Ship Joseph J. Kinyoun (a cargo ship) was commissioned and saw service in World War II, but later was destroyed. In 1935, Wilfred H. Kellogg, one of the nation's leading plague experts, recalled: "I remember of Dr. Kinyoun… there was no better bacteriologist probably in the country" (106). Kinyoun's name, Kellogg claimed, "should be indelible in the annals of public health" (55). Lizzie and her oldest surviving daughter, Alice Eccles Kinyoun [Houts] (1889–1974; Figure 22), who had always believed that one day the stigma of San Francisco would fade and that Kinyoun would at last be fully vindicated, put 75 boxes of his papers, documents, photographs, and memorabilia into storage, where those surviving have remained untouched for almost a century (18).
The Hygienic Laboratory was renamed the National Institute (later "Institutes") of Health in 1930 (2). Today it is the world's premier biomedical research organization, containing not only the core Institute that once was the Hygienic Laboratory—now called the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)—but 26 other Institutes and Centers that work globally with the nation's and the world's best scientists to prevent and treat virtually all human diseases. An oil portrait of Kinyoun hangs in the main administration building of NIH, Building 1, the James Shannon Building (Figure 23). In 1962, NIH celebrated its 75-year anniversary with a symposium featuring historical talks on the history of NIH, remarks about the founding of the Hygienic Laboratory, and with a newly drawn artist's rendering of Kinyoun on the brochure's cover. A Kinyoun Lecture Series, begun by NIAID in 1979, is among the most prestigious of NIH's named lectures. Were he alive today, Joe Kinyoun would surely be astonished and gratified to see what his efforts produced. Surely he would be far less interested in NIH's buildings, laboratories, equipment, and scientific techniques than in what NIH is doing, and will do in the future, to save human lives and reduce the suffering caused by diseases.
