Polite drivers
Turn down the stereo, turn off the high beams
January 18, 2013
Few things are more frustrating for Marietta resident Isaac Nayak, 17, than being behind a driver that does not seem to notice when the light turns gree....
to the person who disagreed with my comment about the "Pittsburgh Left Hand Turn" courtesy: do you know what that means or what it is?

Jeepman 124 the reason people ride in the pass lane from Marietta to Reno is because in Ohio we have Idiots for Engineers who put man hole covers in the road instead of behind the curb and most of them are in the outside or slow lane so to save wear on schocks most of us figured this out to ride the inside or pass lane.

HID lights, driving lights that are too bright, and idiots with high beams on are some of my pet peeves. Now, the driving light people won't use high beams because that turns off their blinding lights, er driving lights.
Wv has the headlights with wipers law too, those that choose not to use lights in the rain are endangering everyone. You get used to looking for headlights and sometimes don't notice the idiots with no lights on the first look.

Traffic would move a lot smoother in certain areas of town if more people practiced the "Pittsburgh Left Hand Turn" courtesy.

Hey folks: major intersections in Marietta have sensors under the payment in order sense a car and change the lights….but…you have to get close to the real, thick, solid, white lines painted across all the intersections in town to change the light. That means is you slow down 50 yards in front of the light hoping the light will change before you get there….hey, it ain't going to change UNTIL you get there.

Tess & Slo: They are HID as you mention. They're only legal if they're factory installed & properly "capped" so they aren't blinding. Many people in this area install them after market (illegally) and those are the ones that are blinding. You shouldn't see blue, purple or any other color. Those are all also illegal. Only the ones that are near white are tyipcally factory installed. Sometimes BMW & Mercedes are a slight bit more blue.

I'M SICK OG PEOPLE RIDING IN THE PASSING LANE TO AND FROM RENO!!! wE SPENT MILLIONS OF DALLRS TO MAKE IT A 4 LANE, AND ALL WE HAVE ARE MORONS DOING 35 MPH IN BOTH LANES. IF I DO GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45MPH, I'M WEAVING BASKETS JUST TO KEEP PACE. - JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE TURNING ON SANDHILL DOES NOT MEAN RIDE THE LEFT LANE FOR 3 MILES!!!

I grew up in Ohio and now live near Charleston, WV. When people ask where I am from, I then have to listen to people complain about Ohio drivers. Their claim is that Ohio drivers drive slow in the passing lane.

Although I can see why many use the left lane towards Reno,the right hand lane is almost impossible to hold your vehicle straight and the hydroplaneing on RT 7 as well.Really bad hydroplaneing in the area of Summers and the old Alan Knost car lots

What about State Route 7 at the cemetary? The speed limit here is 45mph all the way to the Dimex building. Try going 45 or 50 and you'll get run over. And the stop sign for the emloyees of the companies that work in the old Kardex building. All this happens within easy view of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Go figure.

It is nice to see some one give up the rightaway and let a car out from the side but those who hold you up while they let out a dozen or so are rage starters.

Ohio has a law that requires drivers to turn on their car's lights when using the windshield wipers. That makes sense to me but it seems it doesn't make sense to the many drivers who fail to do so. And it seems to me that the majority of the drivers who fail to do so, drive cars that are the color of pavement. It's a courtesy to other drivers but it's also the law.
Even though it's illegal to use high beams when approaching traffic from the other side of the road or close behind another driver, I find the newer blue-type headlights are more blinding. Are they LED or halogen or what? Way to bright.

My biggest beef is people blasting by in the left lane headed toward the Lafayette Hotel, only to jam up traffic and turn brake lights on for blocks trying to merge back to the right before the stop sign turning right onto Front. And people who cross 3 lanes of traffic to turn right on Second the block before it. It's easy to tell an out of town person who is simply lost/unsure and give them some courtesy for not knowing and those who do it to try to "get an edge" on you... And those folks who illegally change lanes when turning onto Front by the Lafayette and merge directly into the left lane, getting angry when someone who follows the law goes those 3 or 4 yards and left blinks to properly change after the solid white. THAT legal action will cause a rage on Front Street daily from the law breaker who had no idea you weren't just being a hole.

Amazing a teen-ager would complain about having to wait at a stop light for someone else not paying attention. Son, it is your generation that does most of that because you are "texting". As is that cannot wait until you can pull over and safely "text". Most of you teen-agers are the culprits, not the victims.

If you really want to annoy people, drive by the law--go the speed limit, come to a full, complete stop at stop signs, don't try to get through the intersection when the light is turning red, etc.
I would be shocked to see the police citing people for any of the actions named in the article unless they caused an accident. How many times have you seen people continue through an inersection where the light has turned red? Barely slow down for a stop sign? Too many times to count. Nothing is done unless there is an accident.
Driving behaviors like these have become the norm. The laws are meaningless since they are not enforced unless there is an accident.

The Alpine World Championships just finished up in Schladming, Austria.
At the podium of the ladies combination (downhill and slalom combined), all three winners have had at least two ACL surgeries. Also, Vail's Lindsey Vonn just had her ACL repaired after a bad spill in the championships.
It is by far the most common accident of alpine skiing, and it is a very unpleasant experience. No wonder that people over 40 declare quite often that "skiing is too dangerous."
A letter in the Vail Daily some days ago said, "Now, there is one way to prevent a tear of an ACL. Don't go skiing, play soccer, ice skate or do anything physical." I liked this letter, which says clearly that this is part of the game and we have to live with it.
Well, as with safety bindings, there are some ways to reduce the risk of being hurt by good engineering.
About 25 years ago I tore an ACL at Mary Jane and I was smart enough to get it repaired in Vail because they have the most experienced and advanced doctors. My knee was repaired by Dr. Peter Janes, and it seems after all these years to be better then the other one. Talking to Peter about the reasons for my ACL tear, Peter Janes told me: Look at your feet. We humans have a long forefoot and a very short heel. Our body, our muscles, our bones - all of this has been developed and was growing for this special kind of pressure through the feet.
Now stand on your skis and you will recognize the long ski tail. It is way too long for your body. This can lead to ACL injuries.
As a result, I understood, to make it short and simple:
The construction of alpine skis is wrong and doesn't fit our bodies. And the better (and stiffer) our ski equipment became over the years, the more torn ACLs we got.
Alpins skis have been developed out of cross country skis in Norway, which were used to walk through deep snow. Of course, the binding was in the middle of the ski so that you could stand well balanced and have equal pressure on tip and tail.
Alpine skiing used the same skis, but the pressure on the skis changed through speed, steepness, ski boots, body position and many other things. Also the skis changed, but the position of the binding is still like 100 years ago.
I don't know why, but many things - like the form of skis, style and so on - seem to be kind of a religion in alpine skiing.
When I got some of the first shaped skis about 15 years ago (it was a ELAN SCX test ski from Buzz Schlepper), I got a lot of ugly comments about those "stupid" skis. But three years later, everybody started to use them. Isn't this amazing? It took the skiing industry about 50 years to find out that shaped and wider skis work better.
I write this as an example, because there needs to be another big change of equipment. It has to come because the position of the ski binding is simply wrong, with a few exceptions. If you are a ski racer, a high-speed skier or freestyler, you need the long tail.
But the long ski tail leads to ACL injuries, and also makes skiing tiring and turns difficult and unsafe. It's well known that it also is a pain in deep snow.
Last year, I was reading in an advertisement of big ski company Rossignol that "the tail of the ski is not important for skiing!" Great! They are finally on the right track, but it will take long long time to get this into the brains of traditional skiers.
It might be helpful to inform you that there is a very unknown and very little recognized ski bum named Adrian Floreani. He lives in his motor home , and he is an engineer. I call him a genius of skiing. Like many inventors, he doesn't make any money, but his life has been skiing for many years. Isn't it nice that real ski bums still exists in a country where money seems to be everything?
Floreani developed his own skis with very short tails. To replace this missing piece of ski behind the binding, he has put a well-working liquid dampening system at the tips of his skis. He now produces his own skis.
I have used those skis for many years, and they are my favorite all-around Skis. As long as I stay below 40-50 mph, they work well on ice, powder and even in bumps.
My wife will not go skiing without those "Flo Skis," and most of my friends don't ski anything else. Even the chief instructor of our German Ski Instructors Association, Herbert Sedlmaier, used them for a whole season and gave me on paper his statement that they worked very well for him.
He mentioned only that people in the cable car looked at him with irritation because without the tail, those skis have been pretty short.
Now, what is really the reason for an ACL injury on skis? If you sit back or fall back on your skis, then the long tail doesn't allow you to sit down or to fall down like you do without skis. Instead the long tail holds you upright, and you have a pretty stiff connection between all the parts until up to your knee. (The ski tail doesn't bend, the boot doesn't bend, and the shin bone doesn't bend, and then the binding doesn't always release in time.)
So all the pressure is finally at your knee. Let's say if you weigh 200 pounds, that if you fall back, you have those 200 pounds of pressure on the tail of your skis. Normally the length of your ski tail is about as long as the distance of your knee above the snow. This relationship of 1: 1 causes the pressure at your knee as high as the pressure at your ski tail.
A sudden pressure of 200 pounds or even more through the speed with which you ski is enough to tear the ACL.
If the tail of the ski were only half as long, then the pressure at the knee would be only half as much. Just ask a knee doctor what a big gain for your knee this might be.
If you are not a ski racer and you are looking for a reduced risk of a torn knee, go to the Internet and look for "ACL," "ACL skis," "Flo Skis," or "HDS skis."
Someday, maybe, there will be a store in Vail that sells those skis.

Parents, Rest Easy About Infant 'Sleep Training'
Sept. 10, 2012 -- Researchers have reassuring news for parents struggling to get their babies to sleep.
Letting infants cry it out using two specific methods won't cause any lasting psychological harm to your children or to your relationship with them, a new study shows.
Researchers compared the long-term effects of "controlled comforting," "camping out," or usual care among infants with sleep problems.
Controlled comforting involves gradually taking longer to respond to an infant's cries.
A slightly gentler approach called "camping out" instructs parents to sit with the child as he or she learns to fall asleep, while the parent slowly inches toward the door.
In the study, a third group of babies received usual care, in which their parents could ask for sleep tips during a well visit, but did not receive any formal sleep training from a nurse.
Previous studies have shown that controlled comforting and camping out were helpful at getting infants to sleep through the night and reducing related depression in moms for up to 16 months.
But the new study shows that some of these benefits may last until the child turns 6, and there are no long-term downsides. (The sleep improvements made by such training tend to last until age 2 and taper out by age 6.)
What's more, sleep-trained babies were similar to infants who did not participate in formal sleep training in terms of their mental health, sleep habits, stress levels, and their relationship to their parents at age 6, the study shows.
The findings appear in the October 2012 issue of Pediatrics.
Reassuring Findings About Infant Sleep Training
"We have known for many years that these behavioral techniques are helping kids sleep better and that parents have a better night as a result," says Marielys Rodriguez-Varela, MD. She is a pediatrician at Miami Children's Hospital. "Now we can feel even more comfortable in that we know there are no long- term consequences for these children or their parents."
A relaxing bedtime routine is also essential, she says. This may include a bath and a book and/or a lullaby so the child knows it is time to sleep.

ISOBOLIC's™ contains premium muscular building blocks sources to support efficient gains and repair in lean muscle tissue at any time of the day. In addition to its signature Triple Isolate Matrix, this innovative formula is also enriched with Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) like L-Leucine, L-Valine, and L-Isoleucine. These critical growth factors are absorbed directly into muscle tissues and support optimal gains.
ISOBOLIC™ contains a Triple Isolate Matrix containing Cross-Flow Micro-Filtered Whey Protein Isolate, Micellar Casein (from Milk Isolate), and Egg Protein Isolate. Each of these powerful protein sources is absorbed by your body at a different rate, allowing you to avoid slipping into a catabolic state and losing muscle mass. By consuming all three protein isolates, you get a continuous elevation in protein synthesis for over 8 hours, and the perfect amino acid sequence needed to help support astonishing gains in muscle growth, definition, and strength!
ISOBOLIC™ contains Nutrabolics™ signature lipid-based fat-loss support formula - SUPERFATS.™ This advanced healthy fats matrix provides essential fatty acids like CLA and Sesame Seed Extract that spare the use of proteins for energy while helping to promote natural fat-burning processes in your body. ISOBOLIC™ is also ultra low in carbs, sugar, and saturated fat so you can stay lean while building new muscle mass.
Processing quality is a major factor where the efficacy of protein supplements is concerned. Many inferior protein powders that are processed via ion exchange are exposed to destructive chemicals in order to separate various protein components. This processing method is believed to denature the quaternary structure of the protein which reduces its Biological Value (BV) it in the body. ISOBOLIC's™ unique whey isolates have been scientifically engineered using a proprietary, low-temperature process that isolates the native protein fractions. This is done at their biologically natural pH which carefully preserves their Biological Value (BV) and effectiveness to maximize their ability to stimulate protein synthesis.
For Males, mix 1-2 scoops (equaling approx. 25-50 grams of protein) with 7-14 oz. of cold water or other desired beverage. Vary the amount of liquid to achieve desired flavour and consistency. Drink 2-6 servings daily, or as needed to satisfy your protein or muscle enhancing requirements.
For females, mix 1 scoop (equaling approx. 25 grams of protein) with 7 oz. of cold water or other desired beverage. Vary the amount of liquid to achieve desired flavour and consistency. Drink 2-4 servings daily, or as needed to satisfy your protein or muscle enhancing requirements.
This 3-isolate, sustained-release blend is the core ingredient powering ISOBOLIC.™ These premium proteins each digest at a variable speeds, creating a sustained anabolic potential for up to 8 hours! CF Microfiltered Whey digests the fastest with a protein spike between 3-4 hours, Egg Isolate digests at a medium rate, and Micellar Casein digests gradually between 7-8 hours.
Every muscle fiber in your body is made of protein so it's more than just "important"– it's absolutely essential to building lean mass! Protein is what your body uses to accumulate new muscle tissue and without enough of it, you simply will not grow no matter how hard you train. Bodybuilders need roughly 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. That means a typical 220 pound bodybuilder should take in 220 grams of protein every single day! Getting this from food can be tough to do when you're on a busy schedule –not to mention, it's expensive! This is where protein powder can be a bodybuilder's secret weapon. Just mix up an ISOBOLIC™ protein shake when you want to jack up your protein intake.
Nutrabolics is the only company in the world that utilizes Sustained Release Controlled Dispersion Technology. This technology took over 7 years to engineer and it's just one component that truly sets ISOBOLIC™ apart from any other protein powder in existence. When coupled with the 3 protein isolates found in this formula, your muscles will be fed for over 8 hours after just 1 serving of this elite formula.
Pure protein isolates are used in this formula so you're not going to get the doses of lactose and fats found in cheaper, lower-grade protein powders. These two substances can cause much of the stomach discomfort, gas, diarrhea and bloating experienced with cheap protein powders. Remember, with supplements you always get what you pay for! To help maximize digestibility, we've also enhanced ISOBOLIC™ with the natural digestive enzyme bromelain. For decades, bromelain has been well known to aid in digestion and helps enhance the absorption of nutrients. ISOBOLIC™ mixes instantly and requires no blender. You'll actually look forward to your next shake!
ISOBOLIC™ has been designed for competitive bodybuilders and other athletes looking to build muscle in the shortest time possible. If you want to experience the highest-quality protein powder science has to offer, ISOBOLIC™ is unbeatable.
I purchased the cinnamon oatmeal a few months back to use post workout since it is a blend. Mix ability was good (no lumps) and the taste was good. It wasn't too sweet and the cinnamon wasn't overpowering.
Everyone needs protein, and this protein is very, very tasty. I love the cinnamon oatmeal flavour, it is so good. I find when I take this after my workout I don't feel as sore. It mixes very well and you can use this in a lot of different protein recipes. It is a little expensive good things are never the cheapest ones. I highly recommend this if you are in the market for an isolate protein.
Solid product. Great profile, but it doesn't mix as well as you would hope with it being a isolate.
awesome taste !! i have no problem drinking it as it dissolves very easily.
Excellent taste. I use a scoop of this with half a scoop of cacao powder, two handfulls of baby spinach and a bunch of broccoli sprouts to make a smoothie to start my day
Great protein blend. Only tried one flavour so far, but will definitely more flavours based on my initial experience! Very similar texture to MP Combat. Slightly less sweet than the Combat; but has a lightly noticeable gummy /artificial thickener consistency. Bonus is that it comes in a 5lb tub, which is great for a 1 month supply for me! Taste - 9/10 Texture - 9/10 Mixability - 9/10 Full Factor - 9/10

"We are disappointed, as we believe our proposal was a very strong choice for moving closer to NNSA's vision of a consolidated Nuclear Security Enterprise. We will carefully evaluate information received during NNSA's debriefing process and consider the options available to us within the procurement process.
"We will continue to manage both facilities at the highest level of performance through the transition period. Any transition is expected to take four months once it is initiated.
"Over the past 12 years, with the support of NNSA, workers, community and public leaders, B&W Y-12 and B&W Pantex have made great accomplishments at the production sites. As the Y-12 M&O contractor, B&W Y-12's history of success includes increasing dismantlements and the site's production capacity, while at the same time executing complex projects, including the removal of 1.3 million square feet of aging facilities. … Both Y-12 and Pantex have earned U.S. Department of Energy Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Star Status, a significant health and safety validation.
"B&W TSG sees numerous opportunities to grow our business in the United States and abroad. Our company possesses highly skilled individuals with expertise in nuclear operations, nuclear waste management, security, precision manufacturing and environmental remediation. Fee earnings for Y-12 and Pantex were in line with our projected results for 2012.
"B&W and our partners provide valuable services to NNSA across the entire Nuclear Security Enterprise. We are committed to ensuring national security and providing exceptional service to the DOE and NNSA."

I have a 32-bit WinXP SP3 box running with an AMD Athlon X2 7850 (overclocked @ 3ghz), 4gb PC-8500/1066mhz DDR2 ram along w/ two terabyte sata drives installed, using the latest build of PMS (1.10.51) over a wired gigabit network using Cat6 cables. I have the transcoding settings set to Best Quality (keyint=1:vqscale=1:vqmin=2)
It seems that this system can't keep up with certain 1080P videos played because the video begins to stutter i.e. the buffer is being emptied. The sample/test video I use is a VC1 video in a .WMV container. When I stream it natively on the PS3, it will play properly (since VC1 is supported by the PS3), but the audio stream isn't compatible so there's no sound. The only way to get sound is transcoding it.
The transcoded MPEG-2 stream will on occasion peak at up to 150+ Mbit/s, but this isn't really the problem, since my network should be able to handle the bandwith. I've verified this by pausing the video at the beginning until the buffer is full, at which point the video plays flawlessly, regardless of how high the throughput goes.
I know the CPU I have isn't the best, but I'm thinking it should still be able to handle transcoding pretty much all HD content?
Incidentally, using AVISynth yields better results - playing the same video at normal speed, the buffer will eventually fill up to the maximum, although does take a minute or two, but my preference is to use Mencoder.
If anyone has any suggestions on what settings I can tweak, I would greatly appreciate it.

SAN JOSE -- It was a secondhand statement about a man with a gun spotted on campus that led to a Tuesday evening lockdown at San Jose City College, school police officials said.
A man on a public sidewalk adjacent to the school was told "face-to-face" by someone he didn't know that a gunman was seen in the area of the Technology Center building, said campus police Lt. Gilbert Torres. The person immediately called Evergreen Community College police with his cellphone, and told officers about the brief conversation he'd just had.
"The gentleman that called it in did the right thing," Torres said. "We take all these types of situations as being valid and respond with apropos resources. We cannot downplay or second-guess these type of incidents when we believe we have a credible source."
San Jose police were also alerted, and the school was put under lockdown for about three hours starting shortly after the 4:30 p.m. call. Despite an extensive search, police did not locate a suspect or a weapon and the investigation is ongoing, Torres said.
The description of the gunman "continues to be very vague," he said, adding that classes resumed on Wednesday.
"Classes are back to normal, in the middle of finals week," he said. "We have directed police staff to be very vigilant and very visible."
Anyone with information about the incident can contact campus police at 408-298-1708.

Mitchell Anderson | June 5, 2008
By Mitchell Anderson • Thursday, June 5, 2008 - 13:07
The Bush administration's to manipulate climate science took another hit this week. The New York Times ran a editorial highlighting the damning report just issued by The Inspector General of NASA showing that political appointees from the Whitehouse were apparently massaging the messaging around climate science.
Specifically, the Inspector General found "NASA Headquarters Office of Public Affairs managed the topic of climate change in a manner that reduced, marginalized, or mischaracterized climate change science made available to the general public…"
The New York Times was not amused and ran a scathing editorial titled The Science of Denial:
"The Bush administration has worked overtime to manipulate or conceal scientific evidence — and muzzled at least one prominent scientist — to justify its failure to address climate change."
In the waning days of Bush Administration, the mainstream press is becoming increasing critical of Whitehouse's ham-handed manipulation of climate science, including efforts to silence scientists speaking the truth about climate change.
The Times said of the Whitehouse's propaganda efforts:
"Its motives were transparent: the less people understood about the causes and consequences of global warming, the less they were likely to demand action from their leaders. And its strategy has been far too successful."
The Bush Administration has also missed mandatory reporting requirements around the progress and implications of climate change. According to the editorial:
"A 1990 law requires the president to give Congress every four years its best assessment of the likely effects of climate change. The last such assessment was undertaken by President Clinton and published in 2000. Mr. Bush not only missed the 2004 deadline but allowed the entire information-gathering process to wither. Only a court order handed down last August in response to a lawsuit by public interest groups forced him to deliver this month."
The legacy of the Bush Whitehouse is being etched in editorial ink all across the nation. The Times summed it up nicely:
"This administration long ago secured a special place in history for bending science to its political ends. One costly result is that this nation has lost seven years in a struggle in which time is not on anyone's side."

Meet me in Death Valley where I will show that CO2 has no effect of warming the atmosphere.

Get Your Facts Right
The diurnal temperature variation is reducing. Which is consistent with warming from the build-up of CO2 and other GHGs.
BTW: This is contrary to heating from solar causes.
Please get your facts right!

Definition: 2. Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.
With little science to prove your claims Harold, I would say not coming to the conclusion that climate change is happening is an act of faith on your part. Please show me "rock-solid, bullet-proof empirical evidence with absolute certainty" on anything in science.
Please also define for me at what point does anything in science cross your post of proof.

That place where the president lives
Thank you for the report, but as a former copy editor, I can't resist calling attention to the repeated references to the "Whitehouse." The official name of the American executive mansion is the "White House"—two words, each beginning with a capital letter.

vast scientific conspiracy!
for definitive verifiable proof that climate change is just a hoax created by the world's scientists in a vast scientific conspiracy against society, just ask the Black House (used to be the "White House" before it was soiled by it's oil soaked resident) and you'll get the real story! Anyone with any common sense at all would believe everything the oil industry says (I'm referring to Bush and Co), they don't have an ulterior motive. They already have vast quantities of the taxpayer's money and their windfall profits so it's obviously not financially motivated. On the other hand, the scientists of the world are stooopider, they only think global warming is real because they are all liberals!

The 5 Workouts Celebrities Swear By
Star trainers give the exact moves they use to whip Jennifer Aniston, Eva Mendes, and Reese Witherspoon into shape
Balance on your sit bones (the bony part of your butt) and extend your arms straight out in front of you, parallel to the floor, keeping your chest and sternum facing upward. Start with your legs off the floor, knees bent so that your calves are parallel to the floor. Extend your legs straight so that your toes are at eye level. Balance here, using your lower abdominal muscles to keep steady. Slowly lower down and hover your shoulders and feet a few inches off of the floor, arms extended along your sides (and also hovering above the floor). Draw your right knee in, extend IT straight up, then bring it down alongside the left leg. Repeat with the left leg. Do this one more time on each side, then sweep back into Boat Pose with the knees bent. Finally extend the legs straight, coming into Full Boat and hold for two breaths.

Of course, pictures of the actual exercises would be nice but lets exercise our brains here as well people! I have heard of these exercises and I highly doubt that is the ONLY thing they swear by. These are very helpful and it's awesome that these trainers share these tips with us just to help us feel as beautiful as these starlets.

Some of these exercised will be very useful! Although I won't find myself trying the pull-throughs at the gym in front of all the guys working out. They're a bit awkward in front of others...though they look great for core toning

Location: Grain Quality and Structure Research Unit
Project Number: 3020-44000-024-00
Start Date: Jul 01, 2010
End Date: Jun 15, 2015
This project will involve a multidisciplinary approach to identify the physical and biochemical components of hard winter wheat that contribute to functionality, with the goal of identifying specific wheat proteins and starches with unique characteristics and functional interactions. Utilizing the Hard Winter Wheat Quality Laboratory (HWWQL) relational database the importance of candidate genes and loci on quality parameters will be investigated and allelic combinations will be correlated to end-use functionality (e.g. dough mixing, bread making and other properties) of hard winter wheat. In addition we will evaluate the intrinsic end-use quality of hard winter wheat progenies for wheat breeding programs in the hard winter wheat Great Plains growing area. Wheat attributes desired by both domestic and international customers will be determined using rapid and objective methods for estimating/predicting textural and quality differences from: (a) small samples (< 10 g) in early generation hard winter wheat breeding lines to promote efficient selection of hard winter wheat lines for needed-quality bases, which would result in the possibility of shortening the breeding program by 1-2 years without sacrificing intrinsic quality evaluation efforts; and (b) from commercial hard winter wheats to enhance the marketing system based on intrinsic quality and determine and evaluate quality parameters directed toward uses of hard winter wheats in non-bread products such as tortillas and Asian noodles, to promote U.S. hard winter wheats in the domestic and export markets.

Insulin Pump Program
The Diabetes-Endocrinology Center of WNY has the largest insulin pump program in the Buffalo-Niagara area, with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics on pumps. Clients come from all walks of life and range in age from young school-age children to retirees in their 80s.
The center works with four different pump companies including: Animas Corporation, Smiths Medical, Medtronic MiniMed and Roche Diagnostics.
Insulin pump therapy has some big advantages over traditional injections but may not be for everyone. Therefore, potential pump patients are carefully screened and trained in basic nutrition and accurate carbohydrate counting before starting on the pump.
Pump training is generally done in two, three-hour sessions, with the first being a saline trial. Patients already on a pump who are upgrading to a new model usually require only one training session. All pump training is done at 115 Flint Road in Williamsville by nurse educators who are also certified pump trainers. Frequent follow-up appointments are required for brand new pumpers. Once stable, a pump patient is expected to follow up with the doctor every three months.
If a patient is thinking about going on an insulin pump, there are some things to consider:
- It requires education including nutrition or diet education and meal planning.
- Back-up equipment, such as syringes or pens is still necessary.
- Blood glucose still has to be checked at least four times each day.
- Pumps and supplies are expensive, but most insurance companies pay approximately 80 percent of the cost.
- It takes patience at first, but it's worth it.
Certified Diabetic Educators and Registered Dietician available.

NEW YORK -- Gasoline rationing lasted eight days on Long Island, where it was lifted at midnight on Friday by officials in Nassau and Suffolk County.
It lasted slightly longer in New Jersey, the state that put the words "gas rationing" back into everyday use after decades and was the first to jettison it after 10 days.
But in New York City, rationing that was scheduled to end on Monday has been extended through Friday, even as the gas station lines that prompted it have all but disappeared.
In announcing the decision, Mayor Michael Bloomberg noted the major travel week ahead at a time when 30 percent of gas stations remained closed.
In a statement, Bloomberg said that he was extending the rationing "to ensure we do not risk going back to the extreme lines we saw prior to the system being implemented."
The 2012 version of gas rationing has been much less painful than the last time it was imposed here and across the country amid the fuel shortages of the 1970s. Back then, rationing measures -- including odd-even, which restricts gas sales to cars with odd-numbered license plates on odd days and even-numbered license plates on even days -- stretched on for months and seemed to barely make a dent in the problem.
"I was there in 1979 and it didn't stop the gas lines," said Sal Risalvato, who at that time owned an Exxon station in Paramus, N.J., where the lines for the pumps started four miles away. "What it did do was make a fair way of distributing the gas that was available."
As a result, Risalvato, now executive director of NJGCA, formerly the New Jersey Gasoline Retailers Association, said he was skeptical when he heard that Gov. Chris Christie was imposing rationing in northern New Jersey. "I freely admit that I was wrong, and the governor was right," he said.
Industry experts, government officials and gas station owners said one reason that rationing had worked so effectively this time was that, unlike the 1970s, there was not a nationwide shortage of gas.
Instead, Hurricane Sandy created a temporary glitch in the regional supply line by cutting off power to gas stations and damaging a distribution network of ports and terminals that delivered gas to the pumps. They said that it should have been only a minor disruption because power was restored to stations and terminals were repaired. But it soon evolved into a crisis in part when drivers who were not used to being told they could not fill up when they wanted began to panic and started descending upon gas stations in droves.
"By perceiving a shortage, they actually created one," said Awi Federgruen, a management professor at Columbia Business School.
Federgruen added that gas station owners who responded with their own form of ad hoc rationing -- such as setting a limit of 10 gallons per customer -- only reinforced the feeling that there was, in fact, a limited supply of fuel. That, he said, ultimately contributed to the long lines by forcing customers to come back for more gas and "doubling or tripling the volume of cars that need to be served."
The odd-even rationing countered this spike in demand, Federgruen said, by essentially dividing the population in two. He said that similar rationing measures have been adopted for mass vaccinations, and in Israel during the Gulf War in the early 1990s to distribute gas masks -- in that case, to prevent long lines, people were told to pick up masks at certain times dictated by the first letter of their last names.
Even as gas rationing has brought relief, though, it has not come without a cost. Some drivers complained that it was inconvenient, and others found it yet another reminder of the toll exacted on their everyday lives by Hurricane Sandy.
"I don't like it because it doesn't serve the purpose of getting gas when you need it," said Luis De Pena, 63, a retired nursing attendant in Manhattan who had to wait an extra day to fill up his car because he did not have the right license plate.
Indeed, some drivers interpreted the comeback of gas rationing as a necessary -- if blessedly short -- remedy.
Pierre Lehmuller, 76, a retired New York City principal, said that the gas lines had been up to a mile long in his hamlet of Bethpage, Long Island, and at one station, they even backed up the street to block an exit ramp on the Hempstead Turnpike.
But the day after rationing was imposed, Lehmuller said, those lines were largely gone.
"It was like the fever lifting on a patient," he said. "I was absolutely dumbfounded that it went from this hysteria to normal, almost overnight."

Leeds United Message Board
More Investment
Apparently GFH have sold a 10% stake to IIB for an undisclosed sum (probably about £3M) which will not do us a lot of good as that will only go to paying off some of KB's debts or to the man himself.
We obviously need serious investment or we will finish in administration again.
The big question is still, when will GFH and others put seious investment into the squad. At this rate NEVER!!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Bryan, "more investment" is a misnomer; it implies that there has been investment. As every fan knows, neither Bates nor GFH (or GFHC) has 'invested' a penny in the playing side of Leeds. The farrago of lies surrounding the protracted takeover was nothing more than dodgy, offshore horse trading between funny money men. However, if GFBates can attract an investor, one with serious money (enough not to mind GFBates' inflated mark-up), who can be trusted not to shed too much light on Leeds' business dealings, then Leeds fans can begin to believe again in the club returning to glory.
The real shame, Bryan, is the fact that your club history and prestigue is being dragged through the mud by these no intereset in football, self esteem tossers. If I was one of you guys I wouldn't set foot in Elland Road---then wait for real action to tempt you back.
H---these boots are made for-------
- 1 Reply to Alan H
Al, you echo the thoughts of many Leeds fans. Attendances have dropped significantly, even from when the club was in L1, and will continue to drop for as long as there is uncertainty about investment in, and ownership of, LUFC.
Fans attended games when they thought the club had its back to the wall but when they realised that they were marching to a different tune to that of its dubious owners' property development schemes the rot set in.
It will take a new owner with serious ambition, and a cheque book to match, to restore fans' trust in the management of LUFC after eight years of Ken Bates' malfeasance.

The Latson Case in Virginia: A Danger Signal That We Can't Ignore
Teresa Champion is an attorney admitted to the bar in Kentucky and Washington State. She has two children; Sydney and James, who has a diagnosis of autism. She is a long time civic and community activist, who works with the Fairfax Autism Network (FAN) and the Virginia Ability Alliance (VAA). Champion is a member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA). Currently, Teresa is volunteering for the Virginia Autism Project (VAP) as the Northern Virginia Regional Director.
The Cry for Help:
I sat in the courtroom and sobbed. I had never met this young man and I had just met his mother in person that morning. Even though we were essentially strangers, I viscerally felt the anxiety and fear of this family. Reginald "Neli" Latson has Asperger's Syndrome, an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and was on trial for injuring a school resource officer. I too have an 18-year old son with autism.
The evidence showed that Neli, in resisting arrest, had severely injured the officer, but only after an interchange that magnified his inability to process verbal input and significantly increased his sense of uncertainty and apprehension. The officer had been alerted to look for an African American teenage male carrying a gun. Neli had been sitting waiting for the library to open. He had no gun. Although initially cooperative when the officer approached him, Neli stopped cooperating when the police officer asked him for his name. He had done nothing wrong. The "rule," he knew, was that police officers went after people who had done something wrong. Since Neli knew he had not done anything wrong, to his concrete way of thinking, he didn't need to obey the police officer. So he didn't comply with the police officer's request that he identify himself and attempted to leave the scene. It is undisputed that Neli did not possess a gun or any other weapon. Until he encountered the officer, he had committed no crime. The basis for the arrest was a county ordinance that makes it a crime to refuse to identify yourself in response to a request from a law enforcement officer.
Neli was found guilty of charges associated with an assault and the jury recommended a sentence of 10 ½ years. In Virginia, the jury recommends a sentence and the judge imposes the sentence at a later date. In Virginia, there is no parole. He will serve every day of whatever sentence he is given.
Many ASD families who read about this case thought, "that could be my son/daughter." If the autism community doesn't do something quickly, similar outcomes could face many more of our young adults.
How do we stop this from happening again? We must educate and train the community at large about autism. How do we help this young man and his family? Try to explain autism to the Judge and ask for treatment not punishment.
Helping the community at large:
During the pre-trial interviews of prospective jury members only one person was aware of Asperger's Syndrome. He did not make it into the jury box. When Neli was being interviewed at the police station after the tragic event, he was asked if he had any sort of disability. When he said he had Asperger's, the police officer interviewing him said, "What's that?" That is too late. Although the injured officer in this case has a disabled son, he didn't recognize someone with an ASD when he encountered him, nor was he trained to deal with the likely consequences of Neli's disability.
As this population with an ASD ages and those individuals, like Neli, who didn't have access to adequate treatment and therapy become adults, we must explain autism to the community at large. Just like we had to do for our children's teachers, caregivers, and family members when they were younger. We worked for acceptance and training everywhere they went.
We have to be one step ahead of our adults with an ASD in the community. We must talk honestly about the hallmarks of someone with an ASD and also educate our young adults on how to interact with someone in law enforcement. We have to show our disabled adults how to be interviewed and possibly arrested by the police. Statistics show they are seven times more likely to encounter law enforcement than the general population.[1]
The legal system is not equipped to deal with individuals that can't respond appropriately and/or control their response because of a disability. We have a lot of work to do to educate and train the judicial and legal systems and the community at large.
Helping Neli and his family:
Helping Neli and his family is a more complicated issue. Funding supports in the community so that someone can be supported and live with a disability safely is a long-range goal that can't be ignored. A more immediate goal is let this 19- year old disabled man (who likes to read Goosebumps books) and his family know that he is treasured and they are cared about. Most importantly – support the attorneys and professionals working to present a sentencing report to the judge that will explain the side of autism that the jury never got a chance to hear and understand. He should be given rehabilitation and treatment not further incarceration. Neli has been in jail since this incident happened in May, 2010 but he has been trapped inside the cell of autism his whole life.
Pay attention to this case and pray.

Note: Sandy Branam, a member of Savannah Monthly Meeting of Southeastern Yearly Meeting, created a painted journal of the 2013 AFSC Corporation Meeting including her trip to Philadelphia and back via the train. She passsed it along to me saying that we could publish it here. I had a real sense of a gathered meeting as Friends participated in staff presentations, engaged in meeting for business, and came together to learn how AFSC and Friends can partner in Spirit-guided action, and these images capture that spirit. - Lucy

text: Actually, I have 2 books that I've been trying to remember for months now, and drawing a complete blank. The first one is set in Scotland I believe, and the main character's name, if I'm not mistaken, is Robert something, and he and a small group of people protect the world from harmful magic. He uses several forms of magic, though I think he's good at hypnotism, and he has a police officer Freemason friend who helps him, and is teaching a painter who is able to paint the future or past of his subjects. I think one of the books has "Dagger" in the title. Most of the books have a celtic theme to them, with one involving a scottish castle with a ghost, and fairies, and another involding druidic sacrifices. The other series is set on this island kindgom without magic, which gets invaded by a people who all have different magics, including shape shifting and creating golems. The holy water from the church on this island is able to kill the magic users. In one of the later books, I think, the king of the invading people has been killed, but is in the mind of his granddaugher who is the daughter of the king of the island and the invading king's magical daughter. The girl is able to shift to many forms, instead of just one the way most of the other shifters do. Also her brother was taken by the king and swapped with a golem. I'm sorry if my descriptions are a little rambling, but I tried to remember as much as I could about both series. I would really love it if someone could help me with these, it's been driving me crazy for months.

PARKERSBURG -Parkersburg police are looking for a man in a robbery at Community Bank, 3906 Emerson Ave., Tuesday morning.
The robbery, initially coming in as a bank alarm, occurred around 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, said Parkersburg Police Department Sgt. Greg Collins.
Officers were on scene within three minutes of receiving the call, Collins said. The investigation has revealed that an older white male entered the bank with a hood on his head wearing dark glasses, Collins said.

Security cameras captured the image of the man police said managed to steal an undisclosed amount of money from the bank.
"The suspect allegedly asked for money, advising he had a gun," Collins said. "No gun was actually observed by bank employees."
An undisclosed amount of money was taken.
Earlier in the investigation, it was thought by police that the suspect could have left the area in a vehicle that was parked in a nearby parking lot.
Collins said uniformed officers were able to locate the vehicle a short time later, with detectives identifying and interviewing a male subject who was later released.
Police do not know how the suspect left the area and there is no particular vehicle being looked for, officials said.
The male suspect was described as being in his 50s or 60s, 5 feet 8 inches tall to 5 feet 10 inches tall, 250 pounds, wearing a navy blue hoody with a gray liner and a navy blue coat over the hoody, white sneakers and blue jeans.
Police said no one was injured during the robbery.
More than a half-dozen Parkersburg police cars, many unmarked, were on scene Tuesday. A sign on the entrance to the bank stated it was "closed due to emergency."

It's a dancing duel. The Augusta Ballet's number one source of revenue, the Nutcracker Ballet, faces some competition this year. News 12 is on your side with why local dancers are not delighted.
Since 1971 it's been a community tradition: The Augusta Ballet's Nutcracker. To get in place for December, fifty young local dancers and nine professionals spend months on their toes so when the curtain rises Christmas comes alive.
Husband and wife team Kristy Tancred and Rider Vierling play the beloved sugar plum fairy and her cavalier.
"We rely on the Nutcracker in terms of ticket sales and in terms of all that stuff to kind of help us sustain," Rider said.
But this year, those ticket sales could take a turn. The Civic Center's Bell Auditorium booked the Moscow Ballet this season. That worries Augusta Ballet's executive director, Sutton Stracke.
Augusta Ballet's problem is also with the date. The Moscow Ballet will dance on November 29, just two days before the Augusta Ballet takes the stage at the Imperial Theatre.
The Civic Center's general manager, Larry Rogers, didn't want to talk on camera, but did tell News 12 he was just doing his job booking the Moscow ballet. He didn't get the pick the date.
It's too late this year, but Stracke hopes to salvage next year's Nutcracker.
"We would love to bring in this group and help them bring in this group. Maybe at a different date with a different ballet," Stracke said.
But this Christmas, there will be plenty of sugar plum fairies to go around.
"Don't make it an either/or choice, chose to go to both," Stracke said.
Civic Center leaders and the Augusta Ballet meet Tuesday morning to discuss this. The Augusta Ballet is upping their marketing this year. It's the first year they'll print a brochure. They're also offering ticket specials.

Naugy's Bradley shows poise in pocket
In what was the best improvised play in the season opener, Naugatuck High sophomore quarterback Jason Bradley showed poise and throwing accuracy.
With Naugatuck leading 27-6 late in the third quarter against Wilby, Bradley was flushed out of the pocket, rolled to his right, stopped, planted his feet and let fly to the back of the end zone, where wide receiver Ryan Griesenauer was positioned perfectly. Griesenauer leaped high and made an over-the-shoulder catch.
It was an exclamation point to Bradley's terrific opening varsity start as a quarterback in the Greyhounds' 48-20 win over Wilby. He completed eight of 12 passes for 98 yards and two TDs.
Naugy backup quarterback Ricky Plasky also came through as the holder on extra points after the Greyhounds' next touchdown. On a bad snap from center, Plasky didn't get rattled. He picked up the loose ball, rolled to his right and tossed a two-point conversion pass to Syad Hashman for a 41-6 edge.
Not in the summary: Holy Cross senior Kevin Kalosky played sparingly as a defensive back as a junior, but in the Crusaders' 55-6 season-opening win over Crosby he made his first varsity start in the secondary count.
Kalosky had two interceptions, including a first-quarter pick deep in Holy Cross territory that he returned it 11 yards to the Crusaders' 11, ending Crosby's best opportunity to score.
"Kevin went up and got the ball," said Holy Cross offensive coordinator Matt Smolley. "He was in the right spots at the right time. He is playing with a lot of confidence. He doesn't show a lot of emotion. He just goes about his business and that is why he is a good player. He played well last year, had a good off-season and we expect big things from him this year."
A dependable receiver, Kalosky also caught four passes for 40 yards against the Bulldogs.
Perfect position: In Cheshire's season-opening win, wide receiver Kevin Dietrich twice beat Shelton defenders and forced them into 15-yard defensive interference penalties.
The first penalty put the ball at the Shelton 13 in the second quarter. Three plays later, Vincent Sansone scored from three yards out with 57 seconds left in the first half. Jack Cunningham scored on the two-point conversion run, tying the game at 16-16.
With Cheshire leading 22-16 with 1:39 left in the third quarter, Dietrich got pulled down inside Shelton territory at the 25, keeping a drive alive. While the Rams didn't score on the possession, they took valuable time off the clock.
Imposing figure: Montville quarterback Nicholas Clemons sealed his team's 34-13 win over Watertown a week ago with a 20-yard interception return late in the fourth quarter. He also had a 12-yard TD run on fourth-and-12 on the opening drive of the game to give Montville its first score.
Watertown coach Mike Veronneau offered this insight into Clemons: "He's not just an athlete, he's physically bigger than most of our defensive lineman. He's also a very confident player. He can run and pass, and that poses a problem for defenses."
Quote of the week: "We wanted to cause as much chaos as possible," said Naugatuck coach Shawn Kuczenski after his defense swarmed Wilby in a 48-20 decision.
Friday night lights: The Naugatuck Valley League has five matchups Friday, led by Naugatuck (1-0) at Derby (1-0) at 7 at Lou DeFilippo Stadium.
Elsewhere, Holy Cross (1-0) plays at Watertown (0-1), Sacred Heart (0-1) visits Seymour (1-0), Torrington (0-1) travels to Wolcott (1-0), and Woodland (1-0) takes on Ansonia (1-0) at Nolan Field. All games are at 7 p.m.

Also, turning my wrists out instead of in seems to help with the behind-the-back spins, although I still can't cross reliably.
4. That's odd (FurtherStudies#18): 17:33
No big loss, although it will make filling out the online application for MIT a bit difficult. Perhaps Mom can enclose an unsealed copy of my transcript in the grad school application package.
What could explain this mystery? Hmm. I've checked my luggage. Nothing there, not even in the pockets. I have my JITSE application papers. I have my extremely important scrapbook of letters. =) I haven't thrown any important-looking papers out.
Hmm. If I were Mom, I would've tucked the papers into the brown bubble-wrap envelopes. They're not there, though.
Perhaps I didn't bring them after all. Mom probably anticipated that I might lose the documents, and no doubt has copies in that little case in her locked drawer. Besides, I need new transcripts sent from home, anyway, so I couldn't have used the ones I (thought I) brought. =)
Yeah, that's the ticket. I'll finish the MIT online application when I get the transcripts from home.
<laugh> I'd forgotten the months for my awards. Fortunately, Google new. I love the Internet!
3. Whoops, mistake with the transcripts: 15:28
Also, have sent my TOEFL and GRE general scores to the wrong department. Can request another set. Whoops.
My bad. But really am sitting down and figuring everything out. Want to get into the Mobile Computing and Personal Information Management research group of UToronto.
2. Darn. Missed the Tokyo Game Show: 14:27
... then learned today that it's a _videogame_ exhibition, with cosplayers that would've made the people back home nosebleed.

The Rotary Club's motto proclaims "Service Above Self" and the Summit County Rotary Club has recently shown what exactly that means. Over the past month, the club has raised $10,200 to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The entire nation watched as news coverage of the hurricane showed far-reaching devastation. Homes and businesses were destroyed, lives were lost and survivors stranded, sometimes without food and electricity. When the storm ended and assessment of the damage began, members of East Coast Rotary Clubs began reaching out to their fellow members across the nation.
"They wanted to help their communities and had a call to action," said Joni Ellis, current president of the Summit County Rotary Club. "Rotary is the power of many. When someone has a need, we reach out. It's just a big community."
Summit County is part of a Rotary district that includes 67 other clubs, including one from southeast Denver where member Abbas Rajabi became instrumental in circulating the idea for a hurricane relief fundraiser. Rajabi, who has ties to Summit County, hoped each club could raise around $1,500. In the case of Summit, the results were above and beyond.
Once word got out, it quickly spread beyond the Summit Rotary Club's 117 members. Key contributors to the fundraising included Peak One Surgical Center, Vail Summit Orthopedics and the Peter James family.
"One person would tell someone else, and it snowballed. I kept thinking that we were hitting the peak, and then we would get another response," Ellis said. "It's just been absolutely fantastic to know that Summit County is going to be helping other people back in New Jersey and New York."
The money raised by Summit and the other Rotary Clubs will be transferred to various Rotary Clubs based in New York and New Jersey areas that were affected by the hurricane.
"When you consider the total need, that's a small drop in the bucket," said Don Parsons, a Summit County Rotary Club member who helped raise the funds. "The nice thing about this ... [is] going through Rotary in this way, there's no staff, there's no marketing, there's no administrative fees ... It all gets to where it's needed."
"It's another insight into what a giving community we have," Ellis said. "We were very proud as the Rotary Club of Summit County that people entrusted us to get the money to the right spot."
Though it happens to be the holiday season - a traditional time for donations and charitable giving - the driving factor behind the fundraiser was need.
"It's not just a Rotary thing - it's a human thing," Parsons said. "We have to look out for each other."

Miami Master
Eliminated by Argentina's Guillermo Canas in the first phase, Roger will try to bounce back this week at the second Masters Series of the season. Having won the tournament in 2005 and 2006, Roger will try to capture the title in Florida a third consecutive time.
Not having to compete in the first round, Roger will meet the winner of the match between America's Sam Querrey and Russia's Igor Andreev. Should he go on to the next round, Spain's Nicolas Almagro (ATP 34) and France's Richard Gasquet (ATP 16) could be up after that. Tommy Haas (ATP 9) or Spain's Tommy Robredo (ATP 6) are possible opponents in the following rounds and towards the end Roger could cross paths with Nikolay Davydenko (ATP 4) or Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic (ATP 7).
Roger's early defeat and Rafael Nadal's victory in Indian Wells only had a relatively small influence on the world rankings. The Spaniard moved up to Roger by 770 points, but still lies 2960 points behind him. Andy Roddick occupies the third rank at a fair distance.
wish u all de very best 4 MIAMI TOUR.
Nadal did good at Indian Wells, however he reallydidn't have any competition. Also beware of Canas again in your part of the draw. Hope somebody knocks him off fir
Good Luck Roger in Miami!! We are all behind you!!
This is a new tournament so forget the past one and concentrate on Miami i know you will, Not a easy first round match between Querrey or Andreev they both serve big and have a good forehand so i hope you are better prepared this time and
I can't wait to see you back in action!!!
Good luck in Miami
Go FEDERER
