A bike advocate made Dublin social media history last week.
Dave Campbell, of the East Bay Bicycle Coalition, tweeted his message live while praising the City Council for making Dublin the first East Bay town with a "green bike lane." The green coloring makes the lane stand out for safety.
"Way to go, Dublin," Campbell said as he used his smart phone to send news of the lane he found while pedaling to the meeting. "I don't know if I'm more pleased to tweet out this news, or tell you directly."
Mayor Tim Sbranti returned the favor, "You are the first person to live-tweet as you gave public comment. History all the way around."

April 26, 1956 Top story of the Pleasanton Times
Headline: "GE Selects Pleasanton Address for New Lab"
Pleasanton became the official hometown of the vast new General Electric atomic research laboratory when it was disclosed that a Pleasanton post office address will be used by the firm.
The official name of the $8 million plant will be the General Electric Vallecitos Atomic Laboratory at Pleasanton. In the groundbreaking ceremonies, General Electric officials made no bones about claiming Pleasanton as their "home base and good neighbor."
They hailed the "livability" of the valley as a major factor in choosing the 1,600-acre, Coleman Foley ranch for their plant. George White, general manager of GE's atomic power equipment department, summed it up: "The average American housewife today has at her command 35 electrical servants from toaster to washers. By 1970 she will have 100 such appliances."
Dr. Ralph Bennett, manager of the new lab, said 150 technicians will be needed to launch operations, but "I can visualize the total population of our laboratory growing as high as 2,000 people by 1970," he said."
The scientists thrilled the audience with a demonstration of the possibilities of nuclear power for peace. At one point they displayed 1-inch cubes (made of wood) which could each represent one pound of uranium, enough potential energy to match 3 million pounds of coal.
Real Estate: Valley Properties. Summer Cottage, furnished. On the bank of a small mountain brook in cool Kilkare Woods, (above Sunol). $7,500.
At the Movies: State Theater, Livermore. "Rose Tattoo" with Burt Lancaster and Anna Magnani.
Trivia Question: Which famous botanist and horticulturist designed Castlewood Country Club in the 1920s?
Answer to last week's question: Atomic (What type of power plant did General Electric build here in 1956?).

Although most cases of COPD are preventable, it cannot be cured. Once lung damage occurs, treatment focuses on preventing additional damage, reducing symptoms of the disease, and enhancing the quality of daily activities.
The disability from COPD can cause dramatic changes to your quality of life; treatment of its symptoms, prevention of complications, and progression of the disease require attention to a variety of behaviors. Because of these factors, some people seek out their treatment through a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program. These programs provide guidance and support as you learn to manage your COPD through medications, good nutrition, appropriate exercise, and good lifestyle choices. These programs work well for some people and may help optimize quality of life.

Hi, I am Danny Batson (Knouse) and I am a lifelong resident of the Chillicothe area. I was born in 1951 and graduated from CHS in 1969. I took over my dad's septic tank business that he founded in 1937. While I have been in every state (except Hawaii and Maine), there is no place like home! I love taking pictures of old and unusual things and sharing them. There is beauty in everything, if we look for it. I have three Facebook pages filled with local pictures that may be of interest: "Where Has Danny Been," Chillicothe Now," and "Danny Batson".
Hi, I am Gary Thomas and I was born just across from Central School in 1942. I graduated from CHS in 1960 and MU in 1964. After two years in Army, I completed a graduate degree at the University of Chicago in 1970. After working in software development for more than 40 years, I retired from Raytheon in 2007. I have an abiding interest in history and in researching past events, places, and people. My latest project is developing a history-based chronology for Livingston County from 1801-2000.
As I grew up in Chillicothe, I made friends with guys that were picked on by others. I'm not sure exactly why; it may have been because I could feel their pain. We were either not good at sports, too fat, too dumb (others thought), or just too poor and not popular. Anyway, we supported one another.
One such example was Stanley Cook. Stanley was a great pal. Some would say he was overweight, but he was fun to be around. Stanley's dad ran the gas station at the northwest corner of Washington and Calhoun. Stanley and I became very close; we did everything in town together.
Pinball machines were our thing in those days. Wherever there was a pinball machine, we found it. The pool hall and the bus stop were our favorite places to hang out. Marion or Fats (as we called him) would let us play pool together because we were too young to play with the adults.
We rode our bikes all over Chillicothe in those days. We didn't miss a single street. We would even go out to the State Home on Third Street and taunt the girls until the officials ran us off. Yes, we were at the age of noticing girls. I remember we would go to his Dad's station where Stanley had stashed a girly magazine; we would look and laugh. His dad found it one day and that was the end of that. Boys will be boys, and we were real boys. We had so much fun growing up together in Chillicothe.
Until the one day, he asked me to spend the night at his house. At this time in my life I still had the fear of wetting the bed, but I said I would. The reason for the overnight stay was because Stanley's cousin had a Saint Joseph newspaper route that took him out Hwy 170 (called Hwy 190 now) to other towns and we were going to go with him. His route started very early in the morning so it was easier to spend the night. It was around midnight before we finally got to sleep. I remember it well because his mom yelled at us and told us how late it was. She said, "Get to sleep you two, before I have to come up there."
It was about three o'clock in the morning that I woke up with a great sense of fear. All I could think about was going home. I got dressed and started down the stairs, it was pitched dark. I kept running into things and woke Mrs. Cook up. She came out of her room and hit the lights.
By this time I was almost in tears; I had to get home. She tried to get me to stay, but to no avail. My mind was made up. I did not want to go on the paper route that morning at five o'clock. She offered to take me home, but I said I could walk. It was about one mile through town so I walked south on Walnut Street until I came to the tracks. Crossing them, I was home. I made my way to my bed and went back to sleep.
Later that morning my mom woke me up. It was almost noon. She sat on my bed and told me that something had happened to Stanley. She told me that he and his cousin were in an accident on Hwy 170; they had collided with a beer truck. Responders had to cut them out of their Volkswagen that was pinned under the truck. Both were killed. I never got out of bed that day.
My mind had a hard time putting things together. It was my first death of a close friend. I was one of his pallbearers. To this day, I can still hear him say "Come on, I got some money. I'll beat you at the pinball game."

Recently I have seen a couple times topics regarding "Global Linetype scale". It is also something what confuse me. The default value is 1 what is set for mm. Right?
My question is:
Would it be not much more confident if this scale would response directly to the chosen drawing unit? If I like to draw in meters the default Global Linetype would change automatically from 1 to 1000 and the user has always the same Line effect in all his drawings. I'm absolutely sure that 95% off all user like to have the same line attributes in all types (units) of drawing - why they have to adjust this value separately?
Do I miss something?

One of Wall Street's bullish strategists struck a surprisingly cautious tone on Monday, saying he expects a big drop in the stock market over the coming weeks.
Less than a week after the Dow Jones Industrial Average surpassed 17000 for the first time, Jeffrey Saut, chief market strategist at Raymond James, said the rally is due for a breather. He still believes in the long-term fundamentals of the rally, saying the secular bull market has several years left to run. But first, stocks are due for a drop before notching another leg higher, he said.
"I am making a 'call' for the potential of the first decent pullback of the year to begin in mid-July or early August," Mr. Saut told clients on Monday. He recommended investors raise cash positions and trim their exposure to U.S. stocks in anticipation of the pullback.
The market's "internal energy readings" are comparable to what took place in the summer of 2011, he said, when Europe's debt crisis and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating ushered in an 18% decline for the S&P 500. The fundamentals are far different now, of course, but Mr. Saut said the trading environment appears set up for a market decline.
"While I do not think any pullback from here will be that severe, I do think we are vulnerable to a 10% – 12% decline in the weeks ahead," Mr. Saut said.
The S&P 500 finished Monday at 1977.65. It is up 7% year-to-date after last year's 30% surge and has nearly tripled from the March 2009 bottom.
Mr. Saut isn't the first market watcher to call for a big pullback. And he won't be the last. The Dow and S&P 500 haven't suffered 10% drops since the second half of 2011. Over the past three years, countless strategists and investors have argued that the market was due for a breather. Each time, those prognosticators were proven wrong.
Considering 2014 is a midterm election year, a 10% correction wouldn't be overly surprising. Since 1962, the S&P 500 has suffered a drop of at least 14% in 10 of the prior 13 midterm election years, according to Strategas Research Partners. In the other three years, pullbacks ranged between 8% and 9%.
With the Dow surpassing 17000 and the S&P 500 eyeing 2000, calls for a pullback are expected to increase.
"The bull market is very much intact, but that round number resistance at 2000 in the S&P 500 and 4000 in the Nasdaq Composite may prove to be tough levels to surpass in the immediate future," said Michael Shaoul, chairman and CEO at Marketfield Asset Management.
Others share similar sentiment.
"We're clearly overbought," said Frank Cappelleri, a sales trader at New York brokerage firm Instinet. "But even if the advance continues, the rate of ascent is most likely to slow."
As we noted yesterday, the market has a history of jostling around milestone markers such as Dow 17000. That's another reason why it wouldn't be surprising to see the rally pause at current levels.
As for Mr. Saut of Raymond James, his call will either look pretty good, or go down as another failed market-timing prediction.
"This feels more like a crescendo to me rather than the start of a new leg to the upside," Mr. Saut said.

MINDEN, Nev. - Even as Carson Valley farmers are baling hay, Douglas County has been declared a drought disaster area by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Extreme drought conditions extend through much of Washoe, and parts of Pershing, Churchill and Lyon counties. Most of Douglas County is under moderate or severe drought conditions, according to the U.S. drought monitor.
Farm Service Agency Nevada Executive Director Clint Koble said that doesn't mean that agriculture has come to a dead stop.
"Some of those who have irrigated fields have come close to their allotments, some haven't," he said. "Grazers on the rangeland have suffered greatly. The real million-dollar question is what happens with the snowpack this winter and how it's going to affect next season."
Koble said the drought declaration on Tuesday was just the first step.
"It's a mixed bag at this point," he said. "Some crops aren't impacted as much because some farmers have received all their water. But we don't get a lot of rain in the summer, so the thing to take out of this is the importance of next winter's snowpack."
The declaration is automatic when the drought monitor hits severe for eight weeks or more. As of last week, nearly 80 percent of the state had severe drought conditions.
"It will stay that way until the drought monitor takes it out of severe," he said.
While Koble hasn't received any calls from Douglas producers, he said he is getting calls daily from farmers around the state with questions about emergency loans and how they can be used.
Nationwide, drought disaster has been declared in 1,055 counties in 26 states. Officials say the severity of the current drought has been viewed by some experts as one of the worst in U.S. history.
Interest rates for Farm Service Agency emergency loans have been reduced from 3.75 percent to 2.25 percent. Loans can be used for feed purchases and crop restoration if eligibility requirements are met.

In today's Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter SecretMoblin openly admits to never having played the PlayStation classic Chrono Cross, and wonders if it's even worth playing. It's education time!
So I know I'm really, really late to the party on this one, but I just started Chrono Cross yesterday having never played it when it first came out.
Chrono Trigger is my absolute favorite RPG ever for all time (I mean it), and after playing the English translation of Radical Dreamers I just didn't want to be disappointed with Chrono Cross. Fan reaction to the game tends to vary wildly, with some considering it heresy and others thinking it's a brilliant sequel. I know the story is supposedly only tenuously related to Trigger. After ~20 minutes, I'm still not entirely used to the battle system. The music and the graphics, however, are gorgeous.
So, have any of you actually played through it? Did I set myself up to be disappointed? Is there a hidden ATB system? Is that why enemies attack a character before I've used up all of their stamina? Is there any way to increase the size of the element grid, or is that unique to every character?
The game isn't available on PSN and nothing I've seen suggests it will be available any time soon. It was cheap ($5!!), in near-new condition, and so I said "meh, ok" and got the game.

Bourg church to distribute free programs
Published: Friday, August 31, 2012 at 7:56 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 31, 2012 at 7:56 a.m.
Area churches in need of vacation Bible school material can receive them free of charge.
Vision Christian Center in Bourg is distributing 200 unused vacation Bible school programs on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The programs were given to Vision Christian from an out-of-state ministry to conduct its summer Bible classes.
"When people bring us stuff, we want to give back," said Debbie Dupre, the church's children's pastor. "They bless us, so we can bless the community."
The curriculum is designed by Cincinnati-based Standard Publishing. Its vacation Bible programs are read by more than 1 million children and adults each summer, according to the company's website.
Bishop Arthur V. Verrett Jr., pastor of Faith+Dominion and Power Ministries in Houma, said it's important for churches to help out other churches in the community and surrounding area.
"The whole gospel is predicated on what we call the good news," he said, "and what you are really doing is publishing the gospel. This is one of the arms of the church, to be able to disseminate the gospel throughout the community."
Dupre said Vision Christian Center, a foursquare denomination church, makes its annual vacation Bible school a priority for its members. More than 160 kids attended this summer.
"It doesn't matter what church they go to, vacation Bible school is to reach the children, give parents a break, and at the same time the kids get to learn the word of God," she said. "It's so important that churches do vacation Bible school."
If any out of town churches are interested in receiving the material, Vision Christian is willing to mail it to them provided they pay the postage. Dupre estimated the cost at about $15.
For information, call Debbie Dupre at 594-8888, email email@example.com or visit the church's website at vcc4square.org.

Apple Shares Diverge From Nasdaq After Stock Split
Apple is no longer following the pack, but it's no leader of the pack, either.
Shares of the iPhone and iPad maker have surged since last week's investor-friendly announcements, when the company added $30 billion to its stock-buyback plan, raised its dividend about 8% and declared an unusually large 7-for-1 stock split.
The moves came as the company reported first-quarter earnings that showed strong iPhone sales, even as some Apple-watchers had expected to see signs of a slowdown.
Shares have risen 12% over the past three days, including an 8% jump the day after Apple's quarterly report. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite has slumped about 3% over the same time frame and is leading the broad market lower on Monday.
Apple is the biggest component of the tech-heavy Nasdaq.
Here's a chart overlaying Apple and the Nasdaq over the past month, which really illustrates the sharp divergence between Apple and the Nasdaq over the past week.
This second chart shows Apple and the Nasdaq on a year-to-date basis.
The question, of course, is whether Apple's strength will be able to give the broad market a lift. Internet, biotech and social media stocks have been the big drivers of the Nasdaq's decline in recent weeks. Monday appears to be no different, with the Nasdaq down about 1% as those aforementioned sectors keep declining.
Looks like the market will need more than one bright Apple before being able to generate a significant turnaround.

Silverthorne's Bomber Industries recently launched www.bomberbx.com, a home for boardercross riders who are looking for information on products, events and other riders, as well as a place to purchase gear.
"We see this a lot. BX riders have no place - either virtual or in person - to not just get gear but any information about boardercross," said Fin Doyle, owner of Bomber Industries. "Parents buy gear blindly from Europe just to get their kids on something so they can race, and they know nothing about the sport. This website will give parents and other BX riders a place to get and give info, as well as buy gear all in one spot.
"Bomber Industries sees this as a very viable website with a lot of growth potential. We plan to have articles written by BX experts and riders, as well as links to other sites that are affiliated with BX. This could be a huge boost to the industry."
The website includes a forum, where riders and vendors can talk about products, races, technique and anything else BX related they would like to chat about online. It will also feature events submitted by organizations around the world and technical videos for gear setup. The site will have an online store, where riders can buy BX-specific gear.
"We've had a very strong following and success with other ventures we've taken on, and we definitely see boardercross as an intensely growing sport that needs this kind of recognition," Doyle said. "Bomberbx.com will help the sport grow and gain not only the attention it deserves but will help the customers make informed decisions."
Bomber Industries has been in business since 1993, manufacturing bindings for snowboard hard boots, splitboard, telemark and skiboard worlds.

High-potency manufacturing is a niche, but specialized area that requires proper facility design, equipment selection, production processes, and operator knowledge to safely handle and produce highly potent APIs (HPAPIs) and finished drug products containing HPAPIs. Pharmaceutical Technology conducted an industry roundtable to gain a perspective of these issues. Participating were: Joe Cascone, director of potent product pharmaceutical development at Metrics; Joe Nettleton, vice-president and director of operations at Cambrex's Charles City, Iowa, facility; Peter Müller, delegate of the Dishman board and member of the Carbogen Amcis' management team; Theodore Iliopoulos, chief scientific officer at Euticals; Paul Doherty, chemical engineer, Sigma Black Belt, and plant manager at Ferro Pfanstiehl Laboratories; and David Bormett director of operations at SAFC.
Facility design and equipment selection
PharmTech: A key challenge in high-potency manufacturing is to maintain the level of containment throughout the manufacturing process. What are the key considerations in designing a high-potency manufacturing facility and in selecting equipment?Iliopoulos (Euticals): High-potency containment structures address both cross-contamination requirements targeting patient safety, and at the same time, worker safety by maintaining occupational exposure limits (OELs) below 10 mcg (Band III) or 10 ng (Band IV) per cubic meter of air for an eight-hour weighted average. Exposure to just a small quantity of a highly potent HPAPI or highly potent compound can pose significant health risks.
Bormett (SAFC): Proper initial design and engineering of a potent-compound handling facility is crucial to achieve the desired levels of containment. Consideration must be given for containment of the entire process, from weighing and charging of raw materials, to packaging of the final material. Key facility-design criteria include single-pass heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, controlled access to areas, airlocks around potent-compound handling rooms for segregated gowning/degowning, proper room-pressure differentials for containment, degown misting showers, bag-in/bag-out filtration components, sufficient support utilities (such as supplied air), and proper waste-handling capabilities.

—Princeton Seminary
Celebrates 100th Anniversary of Dr. Bruce Metzger's Birth with Special
Public Lecture April 22, given by Dr. Michael Holmes, professor at Bethel
University and former student of Metzger's—
NJ, April 3, 2014–Dr. Bruce Metzger, who was a beloved teacher,
mentor, and friend of generations of Princeton Theological Seminary students,
will be remembered in a lecture at 7:00 p.m. on April 22 honoring the 100th
anniversary of his birth. Metzger was a member of the Seminary faculty from
1940 to 1984, and from 1964 to his retirement was the George L. Collord
Professor of New Testament Language and Literature. He was one of the
preeminent New Testament critics and biblical translators of the twentieth
The lecture will take place
in the Daniel J. Theron Assembly Room in the Princeton Theological Seminary library,
at the corner of Mercer Street and Library Place in Princeton. It is free and
open to the public. A reception will follow.
"A Centennial Tribute to Dr.
Bruce Metzger: Remembering His Achievements, Influence, and Legacy," will be
given by Dr. Michael Holmes, the University Professor of Biblical Studies and
Early Christianity at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a former
Ph.D. student of Metzger's.
Holmes will present an
overview of Metzger's academic career and achievements, focusing primarily on
his significant work with the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. "Dr.
Metzger was arguably the greatest textual specialist and biblical translator
America has produced," Holmes says. "He is warmly remembered by many for his
character, his courtesy and grace, and his genuine interest in his students and
his encouragement of younger colleagues."
Metzger became one of the
Seminary's greatest intellectual treasures, a meticulous scholar of the
manuscripts and texts of the New Testament. He was known internationally for
his work in Bible translation and the history of the Bible's versions and
canonization. He served as chair of the Committee on Translation of the
American Bible Society and as chair of the Committee on Translators for the New
Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible, whose influence extends broadly
into English-speaking churches and schools throughout the world.
The impact of Metzger's work
was incalculable. He understood the importance of biblical translation for
ecumenical dialogue, and believed that having recourse to a common biblical
text was an instrument of Christian unity. In 1993 he presented a copy of the
NRSV, Catholic Edition, to Pope John Paul II at the Vatican.
Because of his passionate
care about the Bible, he became the general editor of the Reader's Digest Condensed Bible in 1982. He lectured throughout the
nation and the world at churches and universities where his former students
ministered and taught. Until his death in 2007 he used the Seminary library
regularly and delighted in greeting students in his daily walks across the

Maroon had a stellar career in the Big East, garnering Third Team All-America honors following her senior season. During the campaign, the libero set a new NCAA record with a 6.87 digs per set average and had a new Big East record of 749 total in 2011.
She was named the Libero of the Year for the conference after both her junior and senior seasons, and was a First Team All-Big East selection twice, along with a second team honoree following her sophomore season. She led the conference in total digs her final three seasons with the Wildcats.
In addition to being one of the elite liberos in the nation during her collegiate career, Maroon is no stranger to coaching, having volunteered her time coaching the Philadelphia Volleyball Academy's PVA 18 Blue team the last three years. In addition to her time with the PVA program, Maroon also helped out by working camps and clinics during her Wildcats career.
During her junior year, Maroon actually played on her new home court as a member of the Villanova team that took part in the Islanders Classic tournament hosted in the Dugan Wellness Center. Against Texas A&M – Corpus Christi, she recorded a match-high 15 digs and was named to the all-tournament team at its conclusion.
She focuses on working with liberos, while also helping with the serve receive area of the Islanders team.
Maroon graduated from Villanova in 2012 with a communications degree, and is currently pursuing a graduate degree in business at Texas A&M – Corpus Christi.

Nothing better illustrates the fickleness of history than the career of John Joseph Montgomery, the aviation pioneer and professor at Santa Clara University.
In 1884, almost two decades before the Wright Brothers' flight at Kitty Hawk, Montgomery leapt off a cliff at Otay Mesa in San Diego and piloted a heavier-than-air glider to safety 600 feet away.
But where Wilbur and Orville Wright are celebrated in the Smithsonian, Montgomery has been largely forgotten.
Now, an adjunct Santa Clara University professor and a veteran producer are trying to right that historical oversight in a movie about his life.
"What Montgomery did was profound and persistent,'' says the professor, John Giddings, an enthusiastic entrepreneur himself. "He was the person who dreamed about flying and did something about it.''
The pitch from Giddings and his producer, Veronica Craven, is aimed at potential funders: They say their movie will be family friendly and bring jobs to the Bay Area.
Two weeks ago, through a Kickstarter show on the Web, they raised $6,000 that they hope will be the seed money for a $12 million feature film.
John J. Montgomery had a different idea of flight than did the Wright Brothers. To him, what mattered was controlling a flight, not powering it. Montgomery assumed someone would come along later with a lightweight motor (as Victor Loughead, a member of the Lockheed family, did).
Public relations
Though Montgomery was not a very good businessman -- he might have been too trusting -- he did not lack public relations skills.
In 1905, he got a balloon to tow a glider up to a height of 4,000 feet and had it land in Santa Clara. (His pilot, alas, died in an accident a few months later.)
At the age of 53, Montgomery himself died in a test flight in 1911 in Evergreen, when his head was perforated by a bolt extending from the glider. The San Francisco's Chronicle's obituary took a full page.
Montgomery epitomized a renaissance inventor: He made contributions to early radio and created a system for converting AC current into direct current for batteries.
Over the years, however, the reputation of the Wright Brothers soared while Montgomery's ebbed. It's one of the themes that Giddings and Craven mean to address in several courtroom scenes.
Epic tale
"We're not going to take anything away from the Wright brothers," Craven told me. "We just want Montgomery's story to be told."
And it is an epic tale, beginning in the late 1860s, when the young Montgomery saw his first airship. It includes cameos by some of the great characters of the 19th century, including Mark Twain.
Giddings and Craven say they want their film to be family friendly, but it will have quirky styling similar to "steampunk," a stylized genre of science fiction.
"The Wright brothers story left Montgomery out," says Gidding. "History likes a simple story. But the truth is both more complex and more interesting."
Let's hope they get the chance to enlighten us.

Well, can you believe this? Tuesday night brought us a "Sons of Anarchy" episode in which no one died. Really.
Yes, there weren't any casualties in "Salvage" — unless you count Juice's motorcycle, which was essentially killed and left in pieces by a couple of dirty cops from a town called Eden. But Juice eventually walked away with a brand new ride and the SAMCRO crew got its revenge. The episode even ended on a light-hearted tone with Jax and Bobby hugging it out and actually smiling.
Did we watch the right show? What's going on around here?
Maybe creator Kurt Sutter just wanted to provide us with a little breather after five bloody, gasp-inducing, misery-laced episodes that climaxed with the SAMCRO club going ka-boom last week. Maybe it's just a lull before another s—t storm hits.
In fact, while "Salvage" did feature a rip-roaring road chase between the Eden cops and our guys — and a death-defying stunt by Juice — the episode contained more talk than action as a shell-shocked Jax turned into the great orator.
First, he brokered a peace treaty with the Irish Kings (or more precisely, Galen and the Kings dictated the terms). And then Jax gathered the troops from up the coast for a meeting in which he passionately argued for a no-guns policy, pointing out that 20 members had been killed in the past two years.
"We need a change ... It's a direction that keeps us whole and keeps us alive," said Jax, who drew a whole lot of table-pounding support from the guys, including Bobby.
During his windy speech, Jax referenced his father, whose "fear and doubt made him vulnerable" at the end.
"I'm not following that path," Jax insisted. "The decisions I make are not out of fear ... You can run from the pain, or allow it to burn into your heart ... (and be) a constant reminder of the love that brought us here."
Yes, lots of talk tonight. But that doesn't mean there weren't other developments and plot advancements. A rundown:
– Sifting through the charred carcass of the club, a contrite Jax admitted, "I did this." Meanwhile, Chibs, who hasn't always been enamored with Jax's leadership style, was reassuring: "We're going to fix this, brother."
– Miss D.A. lady is ready "to go hood" on everyone. She thus far refuses to let Nero off the hook for the murder of Erin, even though it's obvious that crazy-man Toric set him up. And after Tara refused her immunity deal, she's moving to push up the court date and try the case herself. This woman's like a dog locked onto a chew toy.
– Tara is starting to share more of her exit strategy with Wayne, letting him know that she plans to file for divorce and wants the kids out of Charming. Is it a good idea for her to be confiding so much in him?
– The Irish have mandated that Clay handle the gun-distribution deals in Northern California and that SAMCRO make sure all the buyers are on board. For their efforts, SAMCRO will get nothing and be happy with it.
– In an interesting little twist, the Irish Kings were surprised to learn that Jax's guys didn't kill Connor (Jax: "I told you I didn't want a war."). Wonder if they would have blown up the club had they known that. Also wonder if that might somehow impact Galen's standing with the Kings down the road.
– It's clear that Jax is suddenly behaving less like a dictator in the wake of the bombing. When Chibs suggests that they hold onto Connor for a few days to make sure if the peace is real, the compliant club prez asks everyone for their opinions.
– Another 90-minute episode and I'm not sure it needed to be. A little boggy tonight. Somewhat plodding. Let the editor do his/her job.
So did you enjoy "Salvage," or are you ready for more blood, guts and action? And do you really think Jax won't attempt to exact some kind of vengeance on the Irish?

Terry Orr-Weaver (Whitehead Institute, MIT)
MolBio Seminar Series
Terry Orr-Weaver
Terry L. Orr-Weaver is an American Cancer Society Research Professor in the Department of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. She obtained her BA degree in Chemistry, summa cum laude, from the University of California, San Diego, in 1977 and her PhD in the laboratory of Dr. Jack Szostak in Biological Chemistry from Harvard University in 1984. Following postdoctoral training in developmental biology in Dr. Allan Spradling's laboratory at the Department of Embryology of the Carnegie Institution of Washington in Baltimore, MD, she joined MIT as an Assistant Professor of Biology and an Associate Member of the Whitehead Institute in 1987. Her research addresses regulation of cell division during development, and her laboratory has discovered crucial control proteins for chromosome segregation and DNA replication. From 2004-2006 she was Vice-President, President, and Past-President of the Genetics Society of America. She was Vice-Chair and Chair of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation from 2002-2006. She was President of the National Drosophila Board of Directors 2009-2010 and served the board as Past President until 2013. In addition, she is chair of the Scientific Advisory Committee of Children's Hospital in Boston. In 2006 she was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. In 2010 she was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She received the FASEB Excellence in Science award in 2013.
Post-Transcriptional Regulation of the Oocyte-to-Embryo Transition
The transition from the differentiated oocyte to the totipotent embryo marks the onset of development. This occurs in the absence of transcription, and thus must be regulated by post-transcriptional control mechanisms such as translation and protein turnover. We are investigating the regulation of the oocyte-to-embryo transition in Drosophila, in which egg activation can be experimentally separated from fertilization and zygotic gene expression. To define the developmental parameters of this transition as well as the cell cycle change from meiosis to mitosis, we combined genome-wide polysome profiling and ribosome footprinting to survey the translational status of thousands of mRNAs and integrated those results with quantitative mass spectrometry measurements of proteome remodeling. Genome-wide translational analysis demonstrated extensive translational changes with hundreds of translationally inhibited or activated mRNAs. Importantly, we show that PNG kinase, previously known to promote translation of Cyclin B and Smaug, acts as a major regulator of the oocyte-to-embryo transition by controlling the translational levels of at least 60% of translationally controlled mRNAs. Integrating proteome- and translation-based approaches revealed that translational upregulation is largely responsible for protein increases, but that only a small fraction of the translationally upregulated mRNAs cause an increase in the abundance of the corresponding protein. We demonstrate that protein degradation, regulated in part by a meiosis-specific form of the Anaphase Promoting Complex (APC), is necessary for the change from meiosis in the oocyte to mitosis in the embryo. One key target is the Polo kinase inhibitor Matrimony, whose levels must be reduced for proper embryogenesis. The proteomics and translatome studies also indicate an unexpected compensatory dynamic between translation and protein turnover during the return to totipotency.

Houma man jailed for alleged battery
Published: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 12:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 12:17 p.m.
A Houma man is in jail after allegedly attacking someone in a local Waffle House, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office said.
Cody Chauvin, 22, of 122 Vera St., Houma, was arrested Wednesday on one count of second-degree battery.
The incident took place early Sunday morning at the Waffle House on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Houma, a report said. Deputies called to the diner found the victim unconscious. Witnesses told police the victim was eating when Chauvin threw a sugar container at him before launching his attack.
Chauvin punched the victim multiple times and kicked the victim in the head after he fell from his chair, the Sheriff's Office said.
The victim underwent multiple surgeries for facial fractures, deputies said.
Chauvin was identified through security camera footage. He told deputies a disagreement between the victim and a woman they both know sparked the attack, deputies said.

DENVER — The injury-plagued Sharks could have another new face in the lineup when they meet the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday afternoon.
Forward Eriah Hayes got the call-up from Worcester and arrived from Boston around midnight after a day of weather-delayed travel. Hayes, 25, is a first-year pro after playing four years at Minnesota State-Mankato.
In a sense, Hayes is an insurance policy if Mike Brown cannot play after a rough final shift against Edmonton. Brown was hit twice by shots fired by his own teammates. Coach Todd McLellan said he expected Brown to be able to play Saturday.
Of Hayes, who stands 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, McLelland said: "He's a big man, skates well, shoots the puck a ton. He has a lot of shots on goal (for Worcester), hasn't produced a lot of goals as of yet, but that's the type of game he has to play."
Hayes said he didn't think his weather delays will have any impact on his game if he plays.
"I feel like I got my eight hours last night," he said. "I don't know how you can't be excited and up for an opportunity like this, so I'll be ready to go."
Brown was still shaking his head over his last shift in the Edmonton game. First he was hit by a Matt Irwin shot. Then he was hit by a Freddie Hamilton shot.
"It was all kind of flukey," Brown said. "I just go to the front of the net, stick in the nose, get a shot in the foot and, then when I went down, got a shot in the back.
"When you go down on a shot, you almost always think, "What if I were to get hit with another shot while I'm down?' You always think like that, but it never happens. This time it happened, and I was like 'What the . . . ???' "
The shot to the foot did the most damage, but Brown said he thought he would be able to play. The shot to the back?
"Just felt like someone punched me," he said.

Blockage of the upper airway occurs when the upper breathing passages become narrowed or blocked, making it hard to breathe. Areas in the upper airway that can be affected are the windpipe (trachea), voice box (larynx) or throat (pharynx).
Airway obstruction - acute upper
The airway can become narrowed or blocked due to various causes, including:
Symptoms vary depending on the cause. But some symptoms are common to all types of airway blockage.
They include:
The health care provider will do a physical examination, which may show:
Tests are usually not necessary, but may include:
Treatment depends on the cause of the blockage.
If the obstruction is due to a foreign body, such as a piece of food that has been breathed in, doing abdominal thrusts can save the person's life.
Prompt treatment is often successful. But the condition is dangerous and may be fatal, even when treated.
If the obstruction is not relieved, it can cause:
Airway obstruction is often an emergency. Call 911 or the local emergency number for medical help. Follow instructions on how to help keep the person breathing until help arrives.
It is a good idea to learn how to clear an airway of a foreign body by using a method such as abdominal thrusts.
Prevention depends on the cause of the upper airway obstruction.
The following methods may help prevent an obstruction:

I have a new iMac connected to my PS3 via wired ethernet. When playing back videos they video plays flawlessly however I get a message on the PS3 of "A Network error has occurred. ( 80710028 )" randomly throughout the playback. I can rewind and fast forward without lag so I'm guessing it's not a network speed issue.
What other info do you need to help figure this one out?

Yesterday marked the opening of Ai Weiwei: According to What? at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. It's an updated version of the 2009 exhibit of the same name, which appeared at Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, and it's the first North American survey of the controversial Chinese artist's work.
In the three years leading up to now, Ai Weiwei's life drastically changed, and the public was made highly aware of it. He became more closely watched and subsequently censored by the government — he was beaten by police in a hotel room and had to get surgery, he was arrested and confined for 81 days, and the revealing documentary about his life, Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry, was released.
In our interview with the exhibition's curator Mami Kataoka, we discuss Ai Weiwei: According to What? in relation to the new show and Ai Weiwei's history with Western art and artists.
His whole practice raises questions about the East and West, the authentic and the fake, copying and uniqueness, and the individual and the collective.
What influenced the decision to show an updated version of Ai Weiwei: According to What? in Washington, D.C.? Was the original plan to travel to the Hirshhorn after the Mori Art Museum?
Even while planning the show, we were talking about another exhibition. We didn't start to plan it until the show in 2009 ended. We kept the conversation open. The exhibition title and starting point remained the same, but since so many dramatic changes happened in Ai Weiwei's life since then, we wanted to reflect that in a new version of the exhibition.
What was the major catalyst for those changes that took place between 2009 and 2012?
His problematic relationship with the Chinese government became more public. He started a citizen's investigation after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The works relating to that project constitute most of the additions to the show.
Whose decision was it to include works like the 2009 photograph, Ai Weiwei in the elevator when taken into custody by the police, and the 2009 x-ray image, Brain Inflation, showing the aftermath of being beaten by the Chinese police?
He said he wanted to include them.
The exhibit is coming from Japan to the United States. Could you talk about Ai's personal and professional relationship with the U.S., in the context of living in New York City in the '80s, why he moved there, and why he left? The exhibition includes the 1983–93 New York Photographs, which appear to give greater insight into his experience of finding himself as an artist during that time.
Yes, the group of photographs reflects his time in New York, where he lived from 1981 until 1993. During that time, he went to school at Parsons, but he didn't finish. He said that there were so many mornings when he woke up and had nothing to do. He was also supporting his life through working many different jobs, like at a shoe shop, as a framer, or just doing drawings on the street.
Certainly he encountered ideas of Western art through Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, and Jasper Johns. When he went back to China, he published the book series Gray Cover, Black Cover, White Cover. Those books really explain his idea of Western modern and contemporary art, which wasn't really known in the Chinese art community at the time. His earlier pieces have a strong relationship with Marcel Duchamp's readymade works. One of the pieces in the exhibition, Château Lafite (1988), has Chinese shoes and a wine bottle, which is an exemplary work from his time in New York.
His time in New York gave him a very deep understanding of Western Art, but also gave him a way to consider his position. When he went back to China, he started to revisit his own culture, history, and society.

Music: Phish
Vocals: Instrumental
Albums: The Victor Disc
Historian: Mockingbird Staff
"Heartache" is a song on The Victor Disc, a compilation of instrumental studio outtakes recorded in December 2002 and similar in concept to The Siket Disc. Where The Siket Disc consists mainly of ambient sheets of sound and represents Phish at arguably their most experimental, The Victor Disc contains more accessible, straight-ahead Phish jamming (relatively speaking; it's still two plus hours of completely improvisational jams). The Victor Disc has not been officially released (though it circulates unofficially among fans) and none of the "songs" on The Victor Disc have been performed live.

The Southern-fried funk-rock band, Fried Grease - lovechild of Flux5, a Vail-based jazz and funk band, and Summit blues-rockers Big Richard - is making its official comeback at The Goat Soup and Whiskey Tavern in Keystone Saturday. The band returns from hibernation after taking a break in mid-2012. And now for some feelgood fodder from lead vocalist/guitarist Matt Bauerle:
Like a slice of butter melting on a big ol' pile of flapjacks.
For me, if I do this long enough, anything and everything that has an effect on my senses will be reported on in some way. Whether it comes out in the form of sound or word is the exciting part about writing music.
Nothing appropriate for print. But if you come to the show and introduce yourself, we'll gladly rehash a few over an adult beverage.
We've been hard at work on a cold fusion reactor but we don't have all of the funding lined up.
By hook or crook, we are going to put out our first full-length album this year.
High-energy, horn-driven rock 'n' roll!
We started this band in Summit Cove and have been off the circuit for over six months while we were looking for a new bass player. So, this is like a coming-home/rebirth kind of thing for us and we couldn't be more excited to do it at The Goat, down the road from where it all began. And, our favorite band, Stereo Giants, will be opening the show for us. Those guys are incredible!

simple yet intuitive. Just right
2.0 is out, replaces long standing beta version
Audacity is a great tool. I recommend it to anyone just starting out, and I still use it for certain editing functions.
I just converted a mp3 to a ogg. Just had to open and save as ogg. Hurray for open source.
Correct download link for v 1.3.7 ub:
Free and very advanced controls. I use this to edit MP3s I download off FrostWire or through torrents to make ringtones or trim...
it works. I use it. It's free. I therefore love it.
I will eventually look into other software, but I've still got miles to go before I'm even an amateur.
This application is OK at best. It is good for minor trimming here and there, but I would not recommend it for any serious recording.
it may not be pretty but very functional. Has replaced commercial software (e.g. Logic) in my workflow. With some tweaking of shortcuts it does EVERYTHING I need.
I reccommend it highly.
I don't see where macdude is coming from... Export to .wav or .mp3 is easy as anything, and found right in the File menu where you'd expect it to be...

Comments about Borghese Splendide Mani Smoothing Hand Creme SPF 8, 7 oz:
I have been using this hand cream for years, every night. My hands are in water a lot and used to feel very dry all day. I felt the need to moisturize constantly. Then, a customer standing next to me at the cosmetics counter recommended this hand cream, and I tried it. It is the only product I use now, and the only product I need. I put it on at night, and it lasts 24 hours. Amazing!

I use this hand cream every day before bed. It is wonderfully absorbing, leaving skin a tiny bit greasy but oh so soft & supple. Not for use at work, but perfect for after bath & before bed.

Girl With White Dove
Photograph and caption by Alexandra Avakian
For nearly 20 years, renowned photojournalist Alexandra Avakian has photographed Muslims around the world. In her travels, she's witnessed life, death, weddings, prayer, famine, and uprising. Her new book, Windows of the Soul, offers readers a unique and intimate view of the Muslim world with breathtaking images she often risked her life to get.
Here, an August 1994 photo shows a Palestinian girl holding a dove on the roof of her home in the Shati Refugee Camp in Gaza.

Imam Mosque, Iran
Photograph and caption by Alexandra Avakian
Isfahan, Iran, April 1998: Built by Shah Abbas I at the beginning of the 17th century and completed in 1638 after his death, the Imam Mosque is one of the great architectural works of the Muslim world. It stands among gorgeous neighbors Lotfollah Mosque and the Ali Qapu Palace on Imam Khomeini Square, one of the world's largest public squares, where kings once watched polo matches. Famed for its beauty, the Imam Mosque embodies the special character of Persian-Islamic architecture. Its splendor lies partly in the masterful glazed tile work, the colors of which change subtly with the light. The mosque is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Over the past decade, Isfahan has been an ideological battleground between hard-liners and reformers. Once the capital of Persia, Isfahan sits close to the approximate geographic center of the country. The old Persian expression Isfahan nesf-e-jahan—"Isfahan is half the world"—is still used today to express the greatness of the city in its heyday

Masked Women

Minab, Iran, November 1998: Masked women take a break after shopping at the weekly open-air market. The wearing of masks in the Muslim world often has its roots in pre-Islamic customs. The masks are everyday wear for these women, and I couldn't resist trying one on to see how it felt to view the world through it. The most disconcerting thing for a novice was having my vision strictly divided between left and right by the long protruding fold between the eyes.

They'd been attacking our hotel for days. The UN troops' arrival in December 1992 helped end the famine but they withdrew in 1995 after being drawn into fighting, especially with Aidid's militia. Since then, Somalia has suffered from floods, come under occupation by Ethiopian troops, withstood civil war between Islamist forces and a shaky pro-Western government, and been at the brink of famine.

Muslims Praying in Prison
Photograph and caption by Alexandra Avakian
Graterford, Pennsylvania, December 2001: To photograph Friday prayers at the State Correctional Institution at Graterford, I needed the consent of the imam and the Muslim prison elders, who were serving life sentences. They were polite, respectful, and insisted on carrying my cameras. I was their guest, and they took it as a point of pride to safeguard me from the non-Muslim prisoners. I wore strict hijab both to show my hosts respect and also to send a stern message to the rest of the prison population that I was with—and protected by—the Muslims.
At this maximum-security prison, there were about 800 Sunni Muslims in a total population of 3,200. Most of them were African American. Contrary to popular belief, the vast majority of the U.S. prison system's Muslims today are mainstream Sunnis, not Nation of Islam members.

Reef-Ringed Bora-Bora
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
Lacy breakers lap the coral reef that rings Bora-Bora, an ancient sunken volcano 165 miles (266 kilometers) northwest of Tahiti in French Polynesia's Society Islands. Surrounded by sugar-white beaches, an electric-blue lagoon, and some of the clearest water on the planet, Bora-Bora is home to hundreds of species of tropical fish.
Blue Hole
Photograph by David Doubilet
Approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers) from Belize City, the almost perfectly circular Blue Hole is more than 1,000 feet (300 meters) across and some 400 feet (120 meters) deep. The hole is the opening to what was a dry cave system during the Ice Age. When the ice melted and the sea level rose, the caves were flooded, creating what is now a magnet for intrepid divers.
Fiji Islands

Hey guys!
I'm facing a weird problem but cant find any convenient way to fix it.
It seems that the service starts before network is connected, so i get a bind error in the log, and the server doesn't start up!
When i set the service to "delayed start", everything works fine. But this is just a workaround for me, since it takes some minutes to load this way. That is not what i bought a ssd for
So here is my question: Can we set the service in a way that it waits for network connection to exist befor starting up? I tried using "wrapper.ntservice.dependency", but didn't come too far.
Any help would be appreciated

My name is Robert H. Gardner. I am running for a seat on the Holy Cross Energy Board of Directors.
Holy Cross is a cooperative electric utility, in the Eagle River and Roaring Fork River Valleys, governed by an elected Board of Directors. Holy Cross provides electricity to nearly 55,000 homes and businesses generating over $100 million in revenues each year. Directors are elected from and by Holy Cross members/consumers.
I believe that Holy Cross should provide consumers with highly reliable electric service at a reasonable cost, balanced with renewable power supply; energy conservation, energy efficiency and consumer service programs.
I am a lifelong resident of this part of Colorado. I was born in Western Colorado. I attended school in Carbondale and Glenwood Springs. I graduated from Colorado State University. I raised my children here and spent most of my working career employed by Holy Cross Energy. I was involved with non-profit and community organizations in both Eagle and Roaring Fork River Valleys. I have lived in Pitkin County, splitting my time between Basalt and Aspen, for the last nine years. I am familiar with all the communities in Holy Cross's service territory.
I retired from Holy Cross after 30+ years, progressing from laborer to executive management. I was a "hands on" professional with a proven track record in general and utility management; human resources; communications; consumer and public relations; energy conservation and efficiency; and renewable energy programs
For more information, please visit my website at www.gardnerbradford.com.
I believe that my education, experience, knowledge and understanding of Holy Cross's consumers and service territory, along with my commitment to provide reliable electric service at a reasonable cost as clean and green as possible, makes me uniquely qualified to represent you on the Holy Cross Board of Directors. I ask you for your vote.
Holy Cross consumers will receive an envelope containing their ballots sometime between May 15 and 19. Open your envelope, review the information, cast your vote and drop your ballots in the mail on or before June 8.
