Questions and Answers
Hyundai Elantra Clutch Replacement
Q. I've got a 1998 Hyundai Elantra. I suspect the clutch is about to go, chatters when I downshift. Do you have any good links to sites that have good detailed descriptions of how to replace a clutch on a FWD car? I'm confident I can do the job with the right instruction. If you don't have any sites that come to mind, I do have a few specific questions that would help me greatly.
- Do you actually need an engine hoist? How do you support the engine?
- How the hell do you get the transaxle out of the transmission, and front hub?
- Do you have to drain the transmission oil? (I just replaced mine...)
- How heavy is the transmission? (I'm thinking like 50 lbs. Do you actually need to use a jack to lower it and hold it in place for re-assembly?)
- How do you get the transaxle back into the transmission/hub when re-assembling?
I don't need the car every day (I can walk to work) and I'm aware it might take 12 hours or more for myself to replace the clutch.However, the almost $900.00 repair cost (Canadian) is a little heavy for me right now. Seeing as I can buy myself a new kit for about $140.00 and that comes with an alignment tool. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
A. You do need to support the engine. There is a special fixture for this, but you can make due with something like a steel fence post or, at least, a 2x4 laid across the engine compartment using the strut towers to hold it from moving. Then use a chain or stout rope through the engine lift eyes and around the steel post.
The transaxle weighs about 80 pounds and standing up with the car on the lift, one man can lift it into place. On the ground, laying on your back, you will want an extra pair of hands to get it in.
Re-installing the transaxle can be a little tricky. The splines on the clutch disc have to line up with the splines on the input shaft. Also it is critical that the clutch disc be centered in the pressure plate and pilot hole. That's where the alignment tool comes in.
Once the transaxle is out, there is a special procedure for setting up the pressure plate, clutch disc and throw out bearing. The whole Here is the procedure for both:
Manual Transaxle Removal:
- Remove the battery (-) cable.
- Remove the air duct.
- Remove the air cleaner and air flow hose assembly.
- Disconnect the backup light switch connector.
- Disconnect the clutch tube and clip.
- Remove the clutch release cylinder.
- Remove the speedometer cable.
- Remove the select cable and shift cable.
- Remove the starter motor mounting bolts. Remove the transaxle assembly upper connecting bolts.
- Attach an engine host to the engine hooks.
- Remove the transaxle mounting bracket and insulator.
- Lift up the vehicle.
- Remove the front tire.
- Remove the under cover.
- Remove the drain plug and drain the transaxle gear oil.
- Disconnect the tie rod end, lower arm ball joint and drive shaft.
- Remove the center member.
- Remove the transaxle stay.
- Remove the transaxle rear mounting bracket.
- Remove the bell housing cover. NOTE: When supporting the transaxle assembly, make sure that the lifting force is applied to a wide area, not to a small localized area.
- Remove the transaxle assembly lower mounting bolts with the transaxle assembly supported by a jack.
- Remove the transaxle assembly.
- Installation is the reverse of removal.
Clutch Cover And Disc Removal:
- To remove the transaxle assembly firstly remove the air cleaner, joint, mounting bracket, and wiring etc.
- Remove the release lever.
- Loosen the release lever nut and washer.
- Remove the clevis pin and snap ring from the release cylinder.
- Remove the release lever. NOTE: It is impossible to remove transaxle assembly without doing this step because clutch cover, release bearing and release fork are combined together.
- Loosen the bolts attached to the release cylinder and remove the release cylinder.
- Remove the transaxle assembly, after removing each bolt which connect the transaxle assembly and engine.
- In the state that the clutch cover is attached to the flywheel remove the release bearing using appropriate tool as shown.
- Rotate the release bearing in the easy direction in order to examine the snap ring.
- Insert the tool under the wave washer as shown in the illustration and locate in the center of snap ring.
- Widen the space of snap ring by pushing the bearing as shown in the illustration.
- The snap ring-widen state is like as shown the in figure.
- In the snap ring-widen state pull out the release bearing and remove it.
- Insert the special tool (09411-11000) in the clutch disc to prevent the disc from falling.
- Loosen the bolts which attach the clutch cover to the flywheel in a star pattern. Loosen the bolts in succession, one or two turns at a time, to avoid bending the cover flange. NOTE: Do not clean the clutch disc or release bearing with cleaning solvent.
- Remove the release fork shaft and bushing. Clutch Cover Assembly Inspection
- Clean the dust on the clutch housing using the vacuum brush or dry floor cloth and ought not to use the compressed air absolutely. Check the oil leakage in engine rear bearing oil seal and transaxle front oil seal. If leaky, repair them.
- The friction surface of pressure plate must be equalized to entire disc surface. If any part is excessive wear at the point of contact, the pressure plate is installed badly.
- Check the friction surface of flywheel for color change, partial damage, small crack and wear.
- Apply multi-purpose grease to the spline of disc. Grease: MOLYWHITE TA No.2 CAUTION: When installing the clutch, apply grease to each part, but be careful not to apply excessive grease; It can cause clutch slippage and judder.
- Install the clutch disc assembly to the flywheel using special tool (09411-11000).
- Install the clutch cover assembly to the flywheel and temporarily tighten the bolts one or two steps at a time in a star pattern. Tightening torque: Clutch cover bolt 15 - 22 Nm (150 - 220 kg.cm, 11 - 16 ft. lbs.)
- Align the bearing to the release fork and then install it to the sleeve of housing. CAUTION: Apply multi-purpose grease (Molywhite TA No.2) to the grease groove of bearing sleeve and contact point of release fork.
- Install the release lever to the release fork. CAUTION: If transaxle assembly is installed to engine without doing this step, release bearing can be separated according as the release fork rotates free.
- Install the transaxle assembly to the engine.
- After finishing step 6, pushing the release lever to the arrow mark it is sounded click that the release bearing and clutch cover are aligned correctly. Release lever operating range: 3° or less If the range is over 3° it is a symptom that the release bearing and clutch cover are not aligned correctly. So, push the release lever to the arrow mark one more time.
Some of the steps will sound funny. The translation from Korean to English is, at times, quite literal.

With Chrysler on the Brink, Joan Zimmerman Gets Her Retirement Offer
Roger Thurow reports from Rockford, Ill.
Joan Zimmerman eagerly opened the large envelope that arrived in Friday's mail. It was from Chrysler, her employer for the past 30 years, and contained an offer that would be hard to refuse: She could retire with her pension and medical benefits at the end of May.
The offer was similar to one presented to other 30-year employees as Chrysler moves to shed thousands of jobs as part of its effort to avoid bankruptcy through a restructuring plan presented to the federal government. Ms. Zimmerman believes the offer would include cash and other compensation, plus a continuation of her medical benefits, and pension payments. Terms of how Chrysler and General Motors will cover the cost of health care for retired union workers are still being discussed between the companies and the United Auto Workers union. Ms. Zimmerman has until Feb. 25 to decide, at which time the final details would be set.
Earlier on Friday, she had received a phone call from the company reporting that rulings on medical compensation time had put her at 30 years of service, making her eligible for the retirement plan. "Praise the Lord," she said as she hung up the phone.
Ms. Zimmerman, 49, had been pushing herself to reach the 30-year mark. Her time on the assembly line has taken its toll. She has had multiple surgeries, the most recent being the replacement of both knees last May. Last year, she turned down a buyout offer of $100,000—but with a lower monthly pension and other benefits because she'd be leaving with 29 years of service. "I was so close to the 30 years, I wanted to keep on going," she says.
As she considers the retirement decision, she ponders life beyond the factory. She manages a food pantry at her church on a volunteer basis, and now is also considering starting a home improvement service. "I'll always be working at something," she says. During previous periods of factory shutdowns she has done house painting and home repairs. The retirement money could help her start the business, though she recognizes that these are particularly perilous economic times for small business owners.
For the moment, though, she continues working as a welding auditor on the factory's second shift, with Advil nearby to get her and her knees through to quitting time at midnight.
Coming up: Will there be any surprises as Ms. Zimmerman moves toward decision day on her retirement package?What if Chrysler can't come to terms with the government and is forced to file for bankruptcty?
Join the discussion: Can struggling U.S. companies afford to pay the hefty retirement packages they've promised employees? Should the government help out by picking up their medical bills?

Signals and Systems of 3 Familiar Devices
Signals and systems are operating in all the major peripherals of the MP3 player — even in the processor.
In reality, signals are in every part of the system, but pure digital signals are excluded in this example, so memory is not addressed. The processor runs an operating system (OS); under that OS, tasks perform digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for streaming audio and image data.
All the peripheral blocks (the blocks that sit outside the processor block) contain a combination of continuous- and discrete-time systems. You stream digital music in real time from memory in a compressed format. The processor has to decompress the audio stream into signal sample values (a discrete-time signal) to send to the audio codec. The audio codec contains a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that converts the discrete-time signal to a continuous-time signal.
The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios (blocks with antennas) interface to the processor with digital data but interface to the antenna by using a continuous-time signal at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. The sensors' block acquires analog signals from the environment, temperature, light level, and acceleration in three dimensions.

World View represents the first real opportunity in a long time to create a new industry and worthwhile jobs in Tucson, on a large scale. Those who oppose its stationing in our neighborhood are willing to blow off what could be the anchor for Tucson's first new, major economic development in memory.
That would send a clear signal to other entrepreneurs and large investors to stay away, condemning our region to yet more decades of underdevelopment, lack of opportunity, failure to attract talent, and poverty -- all of which would continue to favor Maricopa County's development and domination, which is the real point of this lawsuit.
It's easy to lambast public officials, easy as it is to shoot yourself in the foot, two self-destructive entertainments popular among our more-benighted residents. "Keep Tucson s****y," indeed.
I'm sitting in the Montreal airport, reading Brian's article, and reflecting back upon the cabbies, residents, Uber drivers, shopkeepers, random folks, etc. I engaged over the past week. One consensus among all of them: In the wake of the rise of trump, America has gone collectively insane. The article certainly reaffirms that, and more. Come November, I may return to Canada to check out the real estate... - Fred Mills, Asheville NC
Mccain obviously needs to be pushed out of office. For some time his days have been numbered, he is lucky to have fooled so many for so long. Mccain has been on both sides of the fence forever, often stabbing his constituents in the back. Time to go was twenty years ago!!
I'll admit that I didn't greet all of our customers with the friendliest smile, but then it was worth the laughs when one of them dubbed me the "hot dog nazi." After all Zeppelin Dogs business card used to read (before the divorce) "Where the customer is sometimes wrong, and usually drunk."
I might have missed any mention of it, but I'm surprised that the article didn't say anything about the night of April 2, 2001 when our motorhome and Honda were torched in the riot on 4th Ave. We nearly lost our business not to mention our lives.
AZFMR >>is not gone>> They had a change in management more organizational structure. The grassroots 200+ so far volunteers are being assembled , The grassroots org. that separated from MPP over legal structure and governing policy. They have reorganized either way the outcome of the Nov.
AZFMR is now CRLM
Campaign to Regulate Legalize Marijuana
This was necessary as they are now a licensed PAC with the Sec of ST. This is mostly a group that did a fantastic looking out for the interests of the user and the market collectively. This is your neighbor you family members your community not another harvest.
either way this is the Proposal they will start gather signature in OCT first allowable time. If you care read for yourself see if fits with your values. It has been a long road in sales venicular do you want to take the first pencil from the car dealer?
Pima Coutny Cartel, you may not be aware of just how right you are. Customs and Border Patrol just released a report that says they are storing the bodies of 850+ unidentified illegals that were recovered from border crossers. They are stored here in Tucson.
Our President and sanctuary governments gave these people encouragement to break our laws to get here. These victims lie frozen here waiting to be identified.
Money. Money. Money. You have got to adjust the message because people catch on to that too fast. Why not call it something else. Like "let's INVEST in our children."
Oh wait, they're not our children are they? AZ teaching professional choose not to send their kids to public schools so they earn enough to pay for it. But let's continue to keep the poor down and leave them stuck in declining schools with less than the best teachers. You're the one that said they are working in other fields.
It looks like never Roger. The media is morally bankrupt and now we must move on without them.
Susan Hirsh, it is called Bleach Bit, and yes Hillary used it on her private server. If FBI Director Comey had any guts he would refer for investigation and prosecution. The fact that she incorporated it into her plan to hide government business on a private server is INTENT. Americans have no idea how deceptive this woman and her husband are. In less than 3 years they have amassed $150M dollars in personal savings. (That can be traced) makes you wonder why they used Swiss accounts in the 90s doesn't it?
How is that economy working for you?
Put Chuckelberry on the first baloon!
Fix the roads!
When does the story get released about the Democrats illegally handing out our tax dollars to their favorite "charities," such as Planned Parenthood? Or, the Democrats funding a Private Business with our tax dollars? Or, the misuse of HURF Funds which has left our roads in dispair. It is sad that the Media isn't elected by the people, but rather it is bought and paid for by those who manipulate our elections.
Did she use bleaching to erase her emails? Hillary did.
If the kind of change Trump supporters are looking for does come, I suspect they will find that they have plenty more to lose. But, for the time being, it seems to feel good to many people in this country to make emphatic, "in your face" statements which promote the idea that a crass, unstable real estate developer will magically be able to solve all our problems as a nation. It is deeply troubling.
College educated, credentialed teachers who are choosing not to work in their profession because it does not pay a professional wage comparable to what they can earn in other professions requiring college degrees -- and there are thousands like this in the state now, more than enough to fill all the vacant positions currently filled by insufficiently qualified substitutes -- are not like Washington insiders who don't want to give up their unreasonably inflated salaries. They are people who could be doing the next generation a valuable and much-needed service, but who are unable or unwilling, quite reasonably, to provide that service at far below what is reasonable compensation for work requiring that much up-front investment in the education required to qualify.
In a context where the cost of college tuition has risen more than 300% in the last 30 years, education professionals, like other members of the college educated middle class, have to be prepared to pay back their own educational loans and to pay a small fortune to educate their own children.
Because there are so many people in this state who don't think their own children are worth the investment it actually takes to maintain fully qualified professionals in K-12 schools, many of our Arizona teaching professionals have to work in other fields in order to be able to afford to fully educate their own children. A sad irony.
"Coffee is a vital part of college life." Interesting thesis. I got through college without drinking a single cup, and so can anyone else. If coffee were a necessary beverage, coffee plants would grow naturally in the local area.
The article indicates a lack of integrity on the part of the writer, mixing some serious and good information with some that is stupid and irresponsible. Is the Weekly so hard up for cash that they can't afford to hire a good writer?
Whoa, someone needs a beer!
I think it's brave to open Jimmy Hula's there. The "if it isn't local it sucks" line is tired. It's being opened by a Tucson guy anyway and if the food and service is good, what's the problem? And frankly the stoned, crazy, loud, wild, colorful, blissed out scene on Fourth Avenue is wonderful. Plenty of lawyers, doctors, cops, city councilmen and others down there too. Mr. Big Shot, in this case you are mistaken, but we will forgive your foolishness.
No it isn't. You sound just like Washington insiders opposing Donald Trump to preserve their income. Had enough, and we have nothing more to lose. Change is coming.
Yes they did.
Yo Mr big shot (oh yeah by the way nice screen name... not), maybe best not to judge a book by its cover, can't say that I've ever eaten at Jimmy Hulas, but word on the street was Starbucks wanted to rent that location, would you rather have them there or a local investor? According to your home page you don't even live in Tucson so why would you care?
So they should have said 35?
Great writing as usual. It gives hope and optimism for the future, and that's what we need now in these troubled times.

I has been stalking this loveseat online for months....and SO GLAD to finally have it in my home. It sits in my formal living room, looking a lot more expensive than it's true price tag. I had been to every furniture store in L.A., even consulted custom makers, and nothing came close to this beauty, unless you counted the ones that were $2000+. No joke. To boot, delivery was easy as was assembly.
I've been looking for the right couch for over a year. Basically, everything was either ugly or out of my price range (and even then, the styles weren't anything great.)
I LOVE this loveseat! It was very easy to assemble and store pick-up is a wonderful option! It is really pretty and true to the photo, except the upholstery on the front of my loveseat is gray blue - not the same as in the picture. The seat is firm, which I'm hoping will mean it will last a long time.
I've had my eye on this loveseat for a few months. I finally pounced on it with my 25% off coupon just about 10 days before Christmas. It made it in time! Was easy to put together - you really just need to put on the legs. I did it by myself without a problem.
This is a very pretty pastel aqua--not bright, but muted. Was exactly the color I was looking for. Is very stylish and fabric is soft. However--seat is not very soft. Is pretty stiff. Not the kind of loveseat you'd be really comfy lying around upon... but it is very pretty and a great piece for style. The construction is not superb--so it won't be a good piece for wear--but the looks are so cute, I'm happy anyway.
My husband I just moved into a new apartment and took the opportunity to ditch our 'starter' furniture. This was a little out of our budgeted price range but decided to go for it when they advertised their 25% off furniture deal- it was a little bigger than we expected (in a good way!) and SO comfortable yet elegant! Really thrilled about this love-seat and we get so many compliments. Wouldn't recommend it as a "family"/lounge couch but if you're looking for a nice piece to add to a special room, this will do it!
I love this victorian inspired piece. The construction, material and size is lovely.
Soo I've been eyeing this on worldmarket since the furniture wad 25% off and I've been hunting for a stylish affordable dining table settee/sofa. At first this was out of my price range but with the discount + FREE shipping (yes, that was the icing on the cake) I had to get it. It was risky not knowing exactly how it would look, feel or be the right size. But I love it. The color is not as bright turquoise as I'd like (a bit greyer tones than the display picture) but I'm putting that aside since it's the cutest furniture I've got. And it is so much more comfortable than I expected. It's also very sturdy and the average height of a restaurant booth you'd sit in , so a little lower than chairs but can work depending on your table size. Right now I have a temp. table for eating so it wasn't a factor for me.

UT chancellor meets with Biden on costs
WASHINGTON — University of Texas System Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa was among college leaders who met Friday with Vice President Joe Biden and other administration officials at the White House to discuss financial aid, rising tuition, and making college costs more transparent.
The meeting was meant to highlight an Obama administration push to require colleges, starting in the 2013-14 school year, to provide clear information on costs; financial aid options, distinguishing between grants and loans; and estimated monthly loan payments after graduation. The 10 colleges at the meeting have agreed to provide prospective students such information.
Cigarroa said in a statement that the UT System "already provides students with access to information regarding cost of attendance, financial aid options and net costs after grants and scholarships" online and in other ways.

Contestant's military
record questioned
A singer who appeared on the NBC show America's Got Talent and claimed he was injured during a grenade blast in Afghanistan has no military record of his purported combat injuries, the Minnesota National Guard said Tuesday.
Timothy Michael Poe told the judges on the nationally televised show, which aired from Austin on Monday, that he spent 14 years in the military, and suffered a broken back and brain injury when he was hit by a grenade in Afghanistan in 2009.
According to military records, Poe served with the Minnesota Army National Guard from December 2002 through May 2011, working as a supply specialist, was deployed in Kosovo from Oct. 10, 2007, to July 15, 2008, and then served in Afghanistan for about a month in 2009. A search of his records did not indicate any injury, National Guard officials said.
An NBC spokeswoman said the network and Poe, who said he was from San Antonio, had no comment.
The three celebrity judges each gave him a "yes" vote to advance to the show's next round.

RAVENSWOOD - The third time was the charm for the Williamstown High boys soccer team Tuesday.
After falling to Ravenswood High twice during the regular season, the Yellowjackets pulled off a 3-1 upset over the Red Devils in sectional play to keep their season alive.
"We played the same," said Williamstown head coach Telma Poole when asked what the difference was between Tuesday's game and the first two.

Williamstown's Dakota Hammer races ahead of Ravenswood's Nate Schiefer while tracking down the ball during their Class AA/A sectional semifinal match at Ravenswood Tuesday night. Williamstown won 3-1.
"We played tough. We played very well. I think this time maybe we had a little more luck."
Williamstown struck first Tuesday when freshman Joshua Dietz handled a ball in the left corner and booted it just over the keeper's finger-tips and into the back of the net during the 19th minute.
It remained a 1-0 game until three minutes and 15 seconds into the second half, when Dalton Gandee launched a free kick that hit off the left pole and deflected into the net for a Ravenswood goal.
Now tied up at 1-all, it appeared most of the momentum was now in the Red Devils' favor. That changed at the 28:20 mark.
Willamstown's Kelton Hutchins got past the defense and was on his way to a shot attempt when he was pushed to the ground by a Ravenswood defender in the penalty area, resulting in a penalty kick.
Brandon McPherson set up for the kick and booted it to the left side of the net, out of the reach of the goalkeeper, to put the 'Jackets back on top at 2-1.
Ravenswood is a team known for its physicality, which Poole said may have led to the second goal.
"They play physical," Poole said. "They're very strong. They use their body, and that's how we got the second goal."
Just under a minute later, Ravenswood's Pat Berry had a good look at a goal but Williamstown keeper Ian Hostottle made a nice diving save to preserve the lead.
In the 59th minute, the Yellowjackets got a crucial insurance goal.
Jonathan Petty hit a corner kick that deflected off a Ravenswood player. Isaac Bosgraf recovered it and made a beautiful pass to David Wigal, who punched it in for the score.
The Red Devils had a couple looks at potential goals in the remaining 20 minutes, but Hostottle was a brick wall, preserving the lead and securing the victory.
Hostottle was able to withstand 19 shot attempts by Ravenswood, recording 14 saves and allowing just the one goal.
Williamstown got off 14 shot attempts in the contest.
The Yellowjackets now have their sights set on Parkersburg Catholic, which defeated St. Marys 6-0 following the Williamstown - Ravenswood game.
The 'Jackets and Crusaders will square off Thursday at Ravenswood at 6 p.m. The winner will be crowned sectional champions.
"I think a lot of people did not believe in us because we started the season not too good," Poole said. "That's how we've built the team to improve and do much better."
Parkersburg Catholic 6,
St. Marys 0
Five first-half goals by four different individuals enabled Parkersburg Catholic to defeat St. Marys 6-0 and advance to the sectional championship for the first time in the program's history.
"This is just wonderful," PCHS coach Shane Hartshorn said. "This has been a stellar year and we've done more than we could have ever imagined.
"The last two years we have broke almost every record that Parkersburg Catholic has ever had. That speaks highly of the senior class and the junior class as well, along with the younger kids."
Luke Cardenas put the Crusaders on the board four minutes into the match off an assist by Brady Kurucz. PCHS was held in check until the 14:14 mark when Peter Keiser's goal off a Christian Richards assist left St. Marys trailing 2-0.
In the next seven minutes, PCHS tacked on three more goals - including one by Kurucz and another by Richards. The Crusaders were also beneficiaries of an own goal.
Keiser's unassisted goal at the 7:55 mark of the second half completed the scoring.
"In the first half, we worked the ball and we played soccer instead of kick ball," Hartshorn said. "The first 20 minutes, we looked like we were taking our time and not really pressing. That worked really well and wore St. Marys out. We found the goal a lot easier."
With the win the 15-8 Crusaders have nearly lapped their previous high of eight. They will face a Williamstown unit which they have defeated 1-0 on two occasions during the regular season.
"Williamstown had more intensity than Ravenswood," Hartshorn said. "Finishing will be the key on Thursday. We've outshot them by a 3-to-1 margin both times during the regular season, but we just have to finish.

Artist has the scents to know the time is right for olfactory works
In a multi-sensory event that included 100 invited guests,
Aldis Browne Fine Arts Inc
- launched "
," Brian Goeltzenleutcher's Olfactory fine art portrait project on April 16 at 7752 Fay Ave. in La Jolla.
Avant Nez marks a transition from Goeltzenleuchter's work with large cultural institutions to this collaboration with single patrons to realize distinctively personal olfactory profiles. In his inaugural dialogue with individual patrons, Goeltzenleuchter developed an artistic process entailing three pre-arranged sittings to define the context for an evocative journey into the creation of a client's personal fragrance, bottled within a sculpture designed by the artist.
Goeltzenleuchter was born in Southern California in 1976 and earned his MFA at UCSD. According to the artist, this is the time olfactory arts will make a quantum move forward in artistic expression. Later this year, New York's Museum of Arts and Design has planned an exhibit called "The Art of Scent." It will be featured in a new wing of the museum called The Center For Olfactory Art.
A sculpture by California artist
Guy Dill
was also unveiled at the event. Entitled "Passage," the piece stands seven feet tall and is made from polished stainless steel. Mark Quint's Gallery's Q2 collaborated with Browne to install Dill's sculpture along with building neighbors Jane and Ridgway Whittemore who co-sponsored the installation as a long-term loan to the community. Q2's private viewing room was also opened to the public during the event.

Hung Jury for Last Two Fen-Phen Lawyers
This just in from Covington, Kentucky: After about six weeks of trial and 50 hours of jury deliberation, a mistrial was declared this afternoon in the trial of the two remaining Fen Phen defendants — Shirley Cunnigham and William Gallion. On Tuesday, the jury acquitted the third lawyer-defendant, Melbourne Mills.
"We were so hopeful that we were going to be acquitted," Shirley Cunningham's wife, Pat Cunningham, told the Law Blog this afternoon. "We do believe that after eight weeks of trial and eight days of deliberation there was plenty of reasonable doubt. I still maintain that the government did not prove its case. They gave away immunity like it was candy. And everything that was presented was refuted." (Mrs. Cunningham, before her retirement, was a human resources administrator in the Nashville public school system. Now she owns and breeds race horses.)
Cunningham, Gallion and Mills were on trial in federal court for allegedly bilking their clients out of $65 million of a $200 million settlement over alleged injuries caused by the diet drug Fen Phen.
A jury of seven women and five men told U.S. District Judge William Bertelsman they were "hopelessly deadlocked." According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, lawyers for defendants Cunningham and Gallion immediately asked Judge Bertelsman to lower the bond of their clients, who have been at the Boone County jail since August. Cunningham's bond is $45 million, and Gallion's bond is $52 million.
"I think this case has a much larger agenda than was presented," continued Mrs. Cunningham. "I don't believe it was just about my husband and the defendants, but that plaintiffs' lawyers are truly on trial. It's a bad verdict for people who will not be able to afford representation. Because clearly if you look at this case, my husband and his partner were able to get their clients more money than they ever would've gotten in the national settlement."
In a sign that Judge Bertelsman is up to date on fugitive news, he denied the defendants' bond request, citing an earlier claim that the defendants posed a risk that they would move the allegedly ill-gotten gains offshore and flee to a country with no extradition treaty. Instead, Bertelsman ordered a retrial within 70 days.
"If the government decides to retry it — and it looks like they are — we'll be back up here," Cunningham's lawyer, Tallahassee-based Stephen Dobson, told the Law Blog. "But from a defense standpoint, if the jury deliberated for eight days and can't reach a verdict, it seems like that's reasonable doubt in and of itself.
In an e-mail, James Zerhusen, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, told the Law Blog: "We recognize the difficulty for the jury to arrive at a verdict in this case. We feel strongly about the allegations against the defendants and look forward to another opportunity prosecute this case."

The Mercedes-Benz new-generation A-Class will be on show at the Auto Mobil International (AMI), from April 5 - 13, 2008 at Leipzig. The compact Mercedes-Benz A-Class has had an extensive facelift, and sports a much younger look.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes with an eco start-and-stop option and is available for the first time for the high-volume A 150 and A 170 models, which reduces fuel consumption of these BlueEfficiency vehicles by up to nine percent when driving in city traffic. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class has also been awarded an internationally valid environmental certificate, which is in fact the world's first compact car to receive such a laurel.
The new-generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class incorporates a poised look and seems more assured than before. The sweeping lines of the new-look headlamps flow seamlessly along the front and into the flanks, which appear to have been molded from a single piece. The radiator grille has also been redesigned to reinforce the progressive character of the A-Class. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class has a rear dominated by a modified bumper and new-look tail lights that extend well into the flanks. Both features ensure that the body looks wider and even more powerful.
Inside the A-Class are larger stowage compartments and new fabrics which further upgrade the interior. A range of new high-grade upholstery fabrics have been chosen with care to make it look elegant. All variants of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class come with a larger stowage compartment in the centre console and a new-look cup holder between the front seats.
On the economy front, the new-generation A-Class emphasizes its economy with fuel consumption of between 4.9 and 8.1 liters per 100 km, a report pointed out. The A160 CDI BlueEfficiency model claims an average fuel consumption of 62.8mpg and a CO2 rating of 119g/km.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class safety features include adaptive brake lights that flash during emergency braking. Another new safety feature are interior lights that are switched on in the event of an accident of pre-determined severity.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class also boasts of a new automatic parking feature that uses ultra sonic sensors to measure space available and automatically park the car. A parking space of just around 5.19 meters long is sufficient to park the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

Saw this site, moneyaisle.com, where banks compete with the best rate to get your business in a high-yield savings account or a CD. Sounded interesting, so I tried it out. I said I had $5k to deposit. The best rate they had was 3.51%. In less time it took for that rate to load, I went to Bankrate.com and found a place – yes, the banks on both sites are FDIC-insured – offering 3.91%, and only requiring a $1000 deposit. FAIL.
Banks Compete For Your Deposit At Moneyaisle.com
correct link: [www.moneyaisle.com]
Ben, I think the correct URL is Moneyaisle.com.
I don't really buy the idea of an "auction" style competition. More like a fixed database thing LOL
Yeah seriously.
I'm not sure I'd want to go with the bank that "won" anyway. I'll stick with my credit union thanks.
I'm suspicious of the word "auction". I highly doubt there is some bank guy paid to sit as his desk, logged into this site, and bid on your account! All in minutes!
Wamu has an online savings account for 4.00% APY, no minimum deposit.
Etrade still at 3.30%
You only get 4% for savings accounts??
I still don't get CDs. I like saving, and I like interest, but $1000 in a 4% APY account gives you a bank-breaking $40 a year. Even if you can get $10,000, that's only $400 a year. Not really worth it.
@zegota: 4% is better than nothing. Not really worth it? What else are you going to do with it, if you want safety?
@zegota: Yeah, you're right.
I'd much rather lose 33% in the stock market.
@zegota: You need to become acquainted with compound interest.
Pretend that you sack away $1000 in a 1 yr. CD. Then you just buy another CD with the cash once it matures. Assuming that you keep buying 1 yr CDs at only 4%, you'll double your money every 18 years. Save some money now, and it'll quadruple when you retire–no extra work needed, and no risk of it disappearing. Seems pretty cool to me.
Stop looking at the dollars and instead consider the margin. It'll make more sense that way.
Just out of curiosity, what do you do with your savings or investment money?
Not that it matters but Wachovia is still offering a 4.3% CD. Whether the bank that takes them over will honor that is up for debate, but if they don't you get your money back plus interest.
Hi, I'm writing from MoneyAisle and wanted to respond to a couple of the comments here.
Yes, we are running actual auctions and no, there isn't a banker sitting at a computer 24/7 punching in rates. That's where the innovation of our technology comes in – without getting too technical, banks are able to set rates based on a number of different variables, pushing the rates higher. This is what allows the auction to take place in such a short period of time (for those interested in a more detailed explanation, I'd recommend checking out the video interview Robert Scoble conducted with our CEO recently.) Since this is an actual auction dependent on many different variables, the rates offered may differ even within an hour of running. We're a relatively new company and we're still growing our network of banks – as this happens we expect the rates offered to get even higher. Also, with all of the bank failures of late, we've added another level of consumer protection by pre-screening banks through the Veribanc rating service. Any banks rated red with no stars (in danger) by Veribanc are not allowed into the network – you may have noticed that many of the banks offering really high rates recently (IndyMac and WAMU) went under shortly after. We're trying to avoid this situation.

@WoodrowRodeo: So let me make sure I'm understanding this…there is in essence, not really an auction taking place per say. An auction implies bidding is occuring on something. In reality, it sounds like you run an affiliate marketing site that has obtained favorable terms with a variety of merchants (banks in this case) such that your database allows you to offer a range of terms to your users who sign up through your affiliate link.
Is that accurate? Please correct me if I am wrong on any of that.
@Haltingpoint – It's definitely an auction. There are several different banks bidding against each other for the consumer's business. Some banks are going to offer higher bids for certain products (e.g., $1,000 6-month CD). Because the bidding takes place over several rounds, the banks have a chance to match rates against each other as they battle it out for a consumer's business. (MoneyAisle uses complex mathematical algorithms that allow banks to set dynamic bidding for a number of factors without having someone man a computer 24/7 — which would be prohibitively expensive).
The result is an auction marketplace where the sellers (the banks) are able to offer more favorable (competitive) terms to the buyer (the consumer) as a result of the low-cost system that makes banks vie for customer business. The system was designed to be a win-win for buyers and sellers.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- In the first of three readings for an ordinance to finance Project Jackson through a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district, the North Augusta City Council approved the plan in a vote of 6-to-1.
In the meeting, also a designated public hearing, the public had a chance to speak up about Project Jackson, the $150 million public-private venture that'll bring the GreenJackets, a luxury hotel, restaurants, and more to the North Augusta Riverfront.
"I never imagined that North Augusta would develop to the point that it has," says Renee DeMedici of North Augusta. "I do believe that it will create jobs, and I think that we need more jobs right here in North Augusta."
However, not all showed up in support. Many began to critique or criticize the merits of the actual proposal.
River Club HOA President Steve Donohue, the most vocal opponent, said the land to be developed isn't truly blighted. By law, blight is a requirement for the establishment of a TIF district.
"We are torturing a law using a 22 year old study on blight and saying, 'Oh my God! It's still blighted, and I don't want to look. I don't want to look.'" he said. "We're going through using a statute to eliminate blight, and we're lying to everybody! That's what it comes down to, Mr. Mayor."
Mayor Lark Jones remains that the project will make North Augusta a premier destination. He hopes the development will spur the creation of restaurants and shops that will be the envy of the entire area.
If and when the TIF is approved, both the mayor and city administrator say only then will council begin to debate the merits of the proposal itself.
If everything is successful, the mayor predicts a groundbreaking this time next year.

Teenagers are four-times more likely to have an accident on the road than adults.
The Troy Police Department has rolled out a collision avoidance training program--also known as CAT-- to give teens more training and hopefully get those statistics down.
The Troy Police Department's Collision Avoidance Training program gives teens a deeper look down the road.
It isn't your typical driver's education class- this course is for teens who already have a license and have had a taste of driving reality.
It teaches them about speed, traffic laws, and basic car maintenance.
The students spent Friday in a four hour classroom session before driving through obstacles on Saturday.
Several courses were set up at the troy municipal airport.
The police department plans to hold the class once a month and keep it to four students each time.
If you are interested in signing your teen up, you can fill out the forms online at www.troypd.com.

Sgt. Shaft: Retired Vets Pay Hefty Fees for 'Free' Health Care
Email this page to friends

About the Author
Sgt. Shaft
was hatched in April of 1982 at the home of the veterans' newspaper,
Stars & Stripes
, in Washington, D.C. This moniker combines the name of its creator, John Fales, Marine MOS in Vietnam and "Scout Sgt.," with the military expression when wronged, "Shafted."
Sgt. Shaft's wry sense of humor, empathy for the underdog, and strong love of country and fellow veterans closely mirror the nature of its creator. The weekly advice column resided in the Stars & Stripes from 1982 to 1985, and laid dormant until its rebirth in the
Washington Times
in 1991. The column, Fales is proud to say, gives an outlet for the concerns of active military, veterans, and their families in a national newspaper.
In addition to writing the column, John Fales is President of the Blinded American Veterans Foundation. Fales was born in New York City and served in the U.S. Marine Corps until his retirement on disability. His decorations include Purple Heart, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Service Medal, New York State Conspicuous Service Medal, Presidential Unit Citation, Combat Action Ribbon, and South Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry. Sgt. Shaft has no twin.

Dear Sgt. Shaft:
It's very unfortunate that you made a slip of the pen (keyboard?) in a
this past week in The Washington Times when you wrote that the Tricare for Life legislation "assured hundreds of thousands of military families free health care services sponsored entirely by the government."
I urge you to correct the record for any readers who may mistakenly believe that the government is keeping its promise to military retirees. They need to be informed that although government officials repeatedly promised free medical care for life if warriors stayed on for a full career, those retirees under age 65 are instead required to pay hefty co-pay fees and/or buy their own supplemental insurance plan, and after age 65 are kicked out of the military medical system altogether.
A federal appeals court ruled that the promise was indeed made and the benefit earned, but then after the retirees had fulfilled their part of the contract, government lawyers fought the elderly warriors and got their legitimate claim denied on a technicality.
By passing Tricare for Life, Congress only partially redeemed its broken promise to America's brave World War II, Korean era and Vietnam retirees. This bodes ill for the fates of today's brave fighting men and women, who also may see themselves dumped later by the same government officials who today are promising to take care of them if they will risk their lives for our country.
"Mrs. T. E. C."
Dear Mrs. T.:
I stand corrected. Retirees do pay a hefty premium and co-pay for their "free" health care.
Dear Sgt. Shaft:
I personally want you to know that it was my honor to have attended your reception and the USMC Sunset Parade in your honor as your invited guest. I believe that this honor was long, long overdue. I served with Delta Co. 1st Battalion 5th Marines 1st Marine Division and was wounded on May 12, 1967, during Operation Union. I was wounded in my right ear.
As long as there are Sgt. Shafts in this world, the veteran will always have a fair chance to be judged as a first-class citizen and not as an underdog without a voice when being treated unfairly by the system. God bless you and your wife and all of those who directly or indirectly support your work/labor/assistance on behalf of all veterans.
A proud Marine
Dear Marine:
Thank you so much for sharing this momentous occasion. I am still in my mind's eye revisiting this solemn Marine Corps tribute.
Words cannot express my gratitude to Brig. Gen. Mary Ann Krusa-Dossin and the United States Marine Corps for recognizing me at a special reception at Henderson Hall, followed by the prestigious Sunset Parade held at the historical Iwo Jima Memorial on June 28.
My heart swelled with pride as my family and friends joined me at this touching tribute.
Hats off to the special Marines who provided their talents during the parade. The Sarge was humbled to be recognized as the guest of honor at this event. The oohs and aahs sent a chill up my spine as the silent drill team of 24 Marines twirled, tossed and caught their 24 M1 Garand rifles with gloved hands, all with seeming ease and without verbal command.
The tingling continued as the music of the Commandant's Own Drum and Bugle Corps presented classic masterpieces, military marches of bygone eras, contemporary wind ensembles, instrumental solos and current hits, with their traditional ending of "The Stars and Stripes Forever" -- a testament not only to their nation, but also to their legendary leader, John Philip Sousa.
What pride the Sarge felt as the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, appearing in swirling torrents of scarlet and white spiked with silver, presented a unique blend of traditional and contemporary musical virtuosity. And the shivers continued as, from atop the imposing memorial, a figure appeared. He is the lone bugler, who brought what may have been the most poignant moment of the evening.
He lifted his instrument, and the solemn notes of taps began to reverberate throughout the hallowed grounds of the Iwo Jima Memorial. Those notes grabbed a piece of everyone present, especially this devil dog. This is one evening I will never forget.
Shaft notes
A note of thanks to Washington VA Medical Center Director Sandy Garfunkel and his capable and caring staff. After I lost a battle with 13 stairs at my home, the VA medical team, especially on surgical Ward 2D, treated my broken left wrist and fractured right shoulder.
Thanks to these fine health care professionals, the Sarge is on the road to recovery.
Send letters to Sgt. Shaft, c/o John Fales, PO Box 65900, Washington, D.C. 20035-5900; fax 301/622-3330; call 202/257-5446; or e-mail

Skill Level Beginner
Another feature that a lot of people have been asking for is the ability to output my projects for use on iOS devices and to YouTube. Captivate 5.5 includes both of those features today. You'll notice that there's a big button that says YouTube right on it. So if you would like to publish to YouTube all you got to do is to have a project ready to go and then click the Publish To YouTube button. Before I push the button though let's talk a little bit about what types of projects are appropriate. If you have any type of interactivity, it won't work when you publish to YouTube or to iOS.
This means that your quizzes, your simulations, or any other type of project that involves student interaction isn't going to work. This particular project happens to be a demonstration of how to use a web site to achieve a goal. This is an appropriate type of project for publishing to YouTube or to iOS. Something that you might want to do is to modify the shape of the project to fit the device. I can do that under Modify and then Rescale project. In this case, I would like it to fit in iPad before I publish.
An iPad happens to be 1024x768. My height is okay, but my width is not. So I'm going to reduce the shape of the project by simply typing in 1024 here. Hit Return to commit the number and then ensure that you have Maintain Aspect Ratio checked. Once you've done that ensure that you have Rescale Project to Fit New Size enabled. We don't want to crop our project. We want to actually reduce the size. With those options enabled, click Finish.
Yes, I want to do this. Captivate will now go through the process of moving all of my content to the center. It will reduce the size of my stage and it will shrink all of my objects proportionately so that they will fit in the new form factor. This is a huge timesaver when it comes to publishing our content onto devices. Now that I've made this change I can publish directly to YouTube or I can make a QuickTime file on my desktop that I could then publish to my iPad. Let's look at YouTube publishing first. I'll click the YouTube button and it will send it over to the Adobe Captivate Video Publisher application.
I happened to have a YouTube ID, so I'm going to log in there now. You'll need to use your own YouTube account to be able to publish this content. Having done that you need to fill in the category information for YouTube. You might want to type in a Description and if there's any tags you might want to attach that as well. This happens to me an education program so I'll leave it alone, but there are a number of other categories that your project may fit into. I'm going to make this a private program. That gives me the ability to control who has access to it later.
When we're talking about programs for corporate use often times we want to set it into a private group setting so that only our allowed people can access the programs. Of course, you have to agree to the terms and conditions. Having done that I can upload the program to YouTube. Great, it's done. So once it's finished uploading the project, you can of course copy the link and then send it to somebody by email, you could view it on YouTube, or you could use their mechanism to tell someone about it. Let's view it on YouTube now.
In order to see the video, of course I have to sign in and you will want to do the same thing on your account. So once the video loads we can begin to play it. (Male speaker: You'll notice we just saw the advice to use Cmd+Enter to stop recording.) (So from this point forward, I'm going to be simulating recording this application and you can follow along and do the same thing on?) So there it is. As I scrub through it, we can see different areas of the recording. In fact, you can watch my mouse move as I go along here and of course, if you were watching the whole thing, you would learn how to fill in this form and then sends an email back to Kurt James.
Let's go back to Captivate so that we can see how to export this project to our desktop so that we can put it on to our iOS device. From Captivate you will want to publish. In order to get it to a video file we'll need to choose Media. Under Select Type you want to choose MP4 Video. This is the video format that the iOS devices will play natively. We have some presets that are already built to help you get the best quality of your output. If you scroll up in the list, you'll see iPad.
You could also choose an iPhone 3 or an iPhone 4 and iPod as well as YouTube Widescreen High Def and Widescreen Standard Def. If you want to do your encoding on your own, you can choose Custom and then adjust the sliders below. Let's pick iPad. Having made that choice, Captivate automatically sets up my encoding to get good results when I put it onto my iPad. You will want to choose where you want the output to go. In this case, I'm going to put it on my desktop and then we'll say Publish.
If you still have the Adobe Captivate Video Publisher running, then you'll need to close it before you can click Publish. Now that it's finished, you could publish to YouTube, which we've already done, or you could open the published video. This will open the QuickTime player on your computer and then show the video. If you want to load it onto your iPad, you've got to open up iTunes to do that. This is a great new way for you to take your content and to get it out to your learners. Take advantage of these new output methods for your projects today.

Study: Daily acts of sexism go unnoticed by men, women
Seeing the Unseen: Attention to Daily Encounters with Sexism as Way to Reduce Sexist Beliefs [free for a limited time]
Three experiments were conducted in the United States and Germany to test whether women and men endorse sexist beliefs because they are unaware of the prevalence of different types of sexism in their personal lives. Study 1 (N ¼ 120) and Study 2 (N ¼ 83) used daily diaries as a method to encourage individuals ''to see the unseen.'' Results revealed that encouraging women to pay attention to sexism, in comparison to attention to other social interactions, led to a stronger rejection of Modern Sexist, Neosexist, and Benevolent Sexist beliefs (Studies 1 and 2) and to negative evaluations of Modern and Benevolent Sexist men described in profiles as well as to more engagement in collective action on behalf of women (Study 2). In contrast, for men, paying attention to sexism did not have these effects. Results from Study 2 suggest, and from Study 3 (N ¼ 141) confirm, that men's endorsement of Modern and Neosexist beliefs can be reduced if attention to sexism and emotional empathy for the target of discrimination is encouraged. Finally, a follow-up survey indicated that the attitude change in women and men was stable over time. The implications of these findings for interventions to reduce women's versus men's endorsement of sexist beliefs are discussed.

PORTSMOUTH — A report of a bomb in a building prompted the evacuation of a Commerce Way business Monday night, police said.
The bomb threat, which was made at about 9 p.m., ultimately proved unfounded, according to Sgt. Jon Aubin.
Employees of an unnamed business at 175 Commerce Way were evacuated for about an hour as authorities searched the building, Aubin said. A portion of Commerce Way was also shut down for a brief period of time.
Police are investigating the source of the threat, he said.
Anyone with information about the threat can leave anonymous tips with Seacoast Crimestoppers by phone at 431-1199, online through www.seacoastcrime stoppers.org, or by SMS text to CRIMES (274637) with TIPSCS in the message.

HIV & AIDS Health Center
Alicia Keys Gives Back to Kids Affected by HIV and AIDS
Keeping AIDS from Spreading in Africa
And when resistance sets in? "That's the difference between first-line and second-line medications," Guay explains. "We try to offer the affordable, easy-to-manage drugs first. Then, over time, bring out others."
Keys points out that securing funding and accessibility for these second-line medications has become KCA's most important goal. "That, and we're so close to finding a cure," says Keys.
"Already, new research has shown that in 96% of cases, patients on ARVs aren't spreading the disease," Keys says. "That means AIDS can be stopped. Our ultimate goal is for Keep a Child Alive not to exist. When there are no more infected kids or parents, we would love, most of all, not to be needed."
"Alicia is right," Guay confirms. "What we've seen is that in discordant couples, where one spouse is HIV-positive and the other isn't, when the positive partner is given ARVs, in more than 95% of cases he isn't transmitting HIV to his spouse, even if they are sexually active.
"ARVs decrease viral loads to undetectable levels, making the likelihood of infecting someone else, or a mother transmitting the virus to her child, decrease significantly," Guay adds. "It's not a cure yet, but it's a significant development in halting the spread of AIDS in these populations."
Keys' Creativity and Career
Like so many working mothers, Keys juggles pressing commitments while trying to strike a balance between work and family. In addition to her ongoing activism with KCA, there is, of course, her mega-recording career. (Her breakout album, Songs in A Minor, was just re-released to celebrate its 10th anniversary.) She also acts. She was last seen opposite Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson in the 2008 film The Secret Life of Bees. She produces, too, bringing the play Stick Fly to Broadway this winter. Keys writes on her blog: "To produce a play like this is a dream come true… And to have the chance to share it with an audience, night after night, in a beautiful theater, on the streets that I walked everyday as a kid with only 'a pocket full of dreams' can only be described as modern-day magic."

Ah, who am I kidding?
Of course I have to mention what happened Saturday, when the overtime period of a conference final – what would turn out to be the decisive period of the series – was shifted unceremoniously to cable so that NBC, which televised the first three periods, could show horse racing.
Actually, that would have been bad enough, considering how far down the sports food chain horse racing has fallen the past few decades. But the move was made about 90 minutes before the race itself, because NBC sold ads for its pre-Preakness show at a (much) higher rate than for the NHL game.
The strangeness of the situation did provide one benefit for the NHL: More people than usual were talking about hockey. Now, if only that momentum could continue leading into the Finals, which begin Monday evening with Anaheim hosting Ottawa.
Sadly, that probably won't be the case. Even though this figures to be a highly entertaining series between two star-laden teams, it figures to be ignored by all but the hard-core hockey fan. Especially since games 1 and 2 will be on Versus, which isn't available in about 40 million U.S. homes (but promises not to switch any overtimes to fellow Comcast network The mtn.)
"Anybody who wants to be entertained by an exciting brand of hockey should tune in," said Ed Olczyk, who works for Versus and NBC and will make history of sorts by becoming the first American-born (Chicago) analyst to work the Finals on TV. "These are two outstanding teams. To me, the storylines and the games and the styles are real exciting."
Olczyk, who played for the 1994 New York Rangers team that won the Cup, picked Anaheim at the start of the season, so he's sticking with his selection. But he said the Ducks, who were inconsistent in the Western finals against Detroit, "will have their work cut out for them" against the Senators.
Olczyk said he expected the shift of Saturday's game to draw attention nationally, but as a thoroughbred horse owner and fan, he said, "I'm probably the wrong guy to talk to. I'm so passionate about both sports. . . . I would love to have had 100 percent of the country see (Daniel) Alfredsson score that (winning) goal, but that's where (hockey) is at. When money's involved, it's a whole different world."
So much for the good news. The league recently announced it would limit the amount of audio and video posted on media Web sites, such as the Union-Tribune's SignOnSanDiego.com. In the past there was no limit to the amount of interviews and practice footage that could be shown (although most teams allow only 15-30 minutes of practice to be filmed, for obvious reasons).
Now, however, Web sites will be limited to 45 seconds per day of audio and/or video of interviews with NFL employees (including players and coaches), as well as practice footage. Plus, the content may be archived for just 24 hours.
And, of course, there will be no limits on Web sites operated by the NFL or its clubs, which is obviously the reason for all of this.
Speaking of Channel 4, Matt Vasgersian is working Fox's main game at 12:55 p.m. tomorrow (Cubs-Dodgers), but with the assignment in Los Angeles, he'll only miss that night's Padres broadcast. His Fox partner will be ex-Cub (and Aztec) Mark Grace.
Memo to ESPN's Chris Berman and others who might be tempted to follow: Justin Germano's last name is not pronounced as though it begins with an "H." Germano's heritage is Italian, not Hispanic.
Here's something different: Fox and ESPN are showing four baseball games in five days and – hope you're sitting down – the Yankees aren't playing in any of them. After Fox has Cubs-Dodgers tomorrow, ESPN has Indians-Tigers on Sunday, Giants-Mets on Tuesday and Indians-Red Sox on Wednesday (on ESPN2). Fear not, though, Fox and ESPN will be back June 2 and 3 with Yankees-Red Sox.
Once again NBC waited a little too long to show the proper replays at the Preakness, but the more egregious mistake was made by the normally solid Bob Neumeier. Interviewing jockey Calvin Borel just five minutes after Street Sense was nosed out for the victory, Neumeier said, "People said that you moved too soon in this race. Is that a fair criticism?" People? How many people did he see in five minutes? If that's what you think, just ask the question.
Tennis Channel and ESPN2 will share most of the French Open coverage, beginning early Sunday. Tennis Channel generally will start each day at 2 a.m., with ESPN2 taking over most days at 9 a.m. Tennis Channel also will have a 3½-hour highlight show each day (usually at 3:30 p.m.) and will stream live matches on its Web site (TennisChannel.com).
Heard a great call during the UEFA Champions League final from a Scot named Derek Rae, who worked the game (and correctly predicted the final score) for ESPN2: "Inzaghi goes to ground as though he'd been sliced in half." This being soccer, of course, Inzaghi was up and running around about 30 seconds later.

I bought dried apricots at the supermarket. They had two brands but both had sulphured fruit. Does it matter if the fruit is sulphured or unsulphured? Another bag of dried fruit I saw had "unsulphured" fruit in its ingredients.
I bought dried apricots at the supermarket. They had two brands but both had sulphured fruit. Does it matter if the fruit is sulphured or unsulphured? Another bag of dried fruit I saw had "unsulphured" fruit in its ingredients.
I try not to buy sulpherated dried fruits as I just don't want any additives. I just want the fruit!!! Note: the perservative (sulfer in this case) does change the color and appearance of the fruit. For example, the apricots I get are a not-so-attractive brown color instead of the usual bright orange that you might be accustomed to. But they are DELICIOUS. Also, if you ever dry your own fruits you know that they tend to brown more, etc.
Also, a random aside, my mother just recently found out that she has an allergy to sulfides. They are common in dried fruits (and also vitamins) among other things.
I second buying unsulphured dried fruits!
I try to buy unsulphered fruit (and also nonsorbate prunes at TJ's) as much as I can. Like Jessica, I prefer fewer additives of any kind. With dried apricots especially, I happen to think the unsulphered ones taste better, although they're a little more dry and chewy.
Some people do have serious reactions to sulfites of any kind. My mom is one. She can't even have a salad in a restaurant because of the preservatives, or a sip of wine, which naturally contains sulfites.
If it doesn't bother you, buy whatever you like.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
I am very allergic to sulphites and have to read labels very carefully . If you read lables you will find out just how many things contain sulphites. Thousands of food product , even some teas.
I can remember a time when they used to put sulphites on lettuces and vegetables in a salad bar or just in salad ingredients.
I would come home and be very sick .
Not knowing what was causung the problem.
In 1986 the Food and Drug Administration prohibited their use on fresh fruits and vegetables intended to be sold or served raw to consumers. .
Now it is the law to have the wording contains sulphites ( or similar verbage)on the labels of food that contain sulfites. In the U.S and Canada.
I have a hard time finding Apricots that do not have sulphites in them and I avoid anything with dried fruit in it , unless of course it is marked as containing or not containing sulphites.
This can be a very dangerous additive or perservative to people who are allergic to sulfites.
I discovered as a kid eating wonderful Hadley dried fruits at grandparents in S. Ca I am very very allergic to the sulpher. Instant asthma. I bought sulphered apricots at TJs just a week ago for a recipe and ate one. 40 years later-same reaction. Oh well
Be the person your dog thinks you are
Does anyone know how to un-sulpher, sulphered dried apples for a recipe that soaks the apples in Brandy? Thanks CW

Sharks Sign Center Benn Ferriero
Tuesday, 09.1.2009 / 3:00 PM PT / News
By San Jose Sharks Staff
SAN JOSE, Calif. – San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the team has signed free agent center Benn Ferriero (FEHR-ee-oh) to a two-year contract. In keeping with club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Ferriero, 22, recently completed his senior season at Boston College in 2008-09 posting 26 points (8-18=26) in 37 games. In four seasons at Boston College, he appeared in 165 games and recorded 139 points (64-75=139) and won the National Championship in 2007-08. He finished his career ranked fifth on Boston College's all-time games played list, 26th in goals and 30th in points.
"Benn had a great deal of success at BC and we're happy that we were in a position to acquire him," said Wilson. "He is a fierce competitor on both ends of the ice and has a high hockey IQ. BC's head coach Jerry York and his staff has done a tremendous job of preparing him to make the jump to the professional level."
The five-foot-eleven, 195-pound native of Boston, Massachusetts was originally selected by Phoenix in the seventh round (196th overall) in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

NEW DELHI: A small, handpicked, five-member think tank, which will draw its power and prestige from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's clear backing, is likely to replace the Planning Commission.
The new panel will most likely be led in an executive capacity by former union minister Suresh Prabhu, with free market economists Arvind Panagariya and Bibek Debroy as two more likely members. It will be formally chaired by the prime minister and the announcement can come as early as Monday or a day or two after that, officials familiar with discussions said.

So where did the brothers Tsarnaev get the firepower for the Watertown shootout and would background checks have made a difference?
In light of the gun safety defeat and the shootout with the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects, I've been wondering how the two bombers acquired the firearms.
We know they used handguns and a rifle to wage a gun battle with cops. I also know that a pressure cooker and most of the components of the bomb are legal and easy to obtain. I'm not calling for a crackdown on pressure cookers. And yes. I know the bombing, a true act of terror, is the brutal action that we must continue to condemn.
At the risk of being accused of missing the forest for the trees, where did they get the weapons? I find this as question as intriguing as their backgrounds and motives. As I understand it, Massachusetts has pretty strict gun laws but that the surrounding states do not. — a dynamic similar at work in Chicago vs. surrounding counties and states.
I'm guessing the younger brother was too young to have acquired the weapons and I've seen no story suggesting that the older brother had a weapons permit. My guess and it is only a guess is that if the brothers were part of broader conspiracy that might explain how they could have obtained the weapons from a straw buyer.
But if they weren't part of a broader conspiracy, then odds are they got the weapons over the internet or through a gun show loophole. I know I'm speculating, but then I stumbled across this YouTube video purporting to show most-wanted Al Qaeda terrorist, American-born Adam Gadahn, urging sympathizers to take advantage of U.S gun laws.

Refocused and Recharged
What an interesting few months it has been so far in 2012!
I have my fingers dipped in a number of pies right now, so I have felt like I am both moving forward and treading water at the same time. Things are happening in a new way this year, and for that I am grateful.
I have been in Melbourne now for a couple of years and in that time have had to work very hard to establish myself within the dance scene which can be quite "clicky" at times. Last year I said yes to every job that came along and from that I was able to get my name and face out there much more. I had some great projects and some terrible ones in that process but made the vital connections it takes to succeed in this field.
At the end of last year I had a rush of bookings flood through carrying me well into the middle of 2012 with a variety of work, from workshops, to performances, to choreography and teaching. 90% of my current bookings have come from word of mouth and essentially from reputation; something that I find both humbling but I'm also proud of (it's always nice to know you're doing something right!).
With a feeling of excitement I decided to recreate my dance company Evixa, into a dance production company. I figured, why wait for someone to give me the nudge when I can do it myself? The path in getting this sorted has been hard at times and rewarding at others. I am taking our first production to the Australian Dance Festival this year which is a big step for us- daunting and thrilling at the same time.
And now, after a chance to recharge the batteries in sunny Perth, I have reset some goals. In 2012 I will focus on Evixa's growth, I will tour the Evixa show in 2013 nationally along with reconnecting to a previous show I choreographed "Balinese Princess" for a national tour and some overseas festivals. In 2014 I will wrap my 30th year in this world with a big move to the USA. Why? Because I know who I want to work with and to give it the best chance of doing that – I have to be willing to take big risks!
If I reflect, what I have really learned in the past couple of years in Melbourne is that you can start with nothing, and build your own reality. That means that nothing is impossible in this lifetime; so I intend on taking leaps of faith others may shy away from; do work that is more eye-opening and challenging than I even think I can do and live the life I desire. Do it all, regret nothing!

Milan visit Barcelona on Tuesday for the second leg of their last 16 tie, holding a 2-0 lead from the first leg.
Separate Milan statements said Pazzini's problem had been identified and that he would not be travelling to Camp Nou.
Pazzini, who joined the club from neighbours Inter Milan at the start of the season, partnered Stephan El Shaarawy in the first leg as Milan's top striker Mario Balotelli is ineligible having played for Manchester City in the group stage.
Pazzini scored in the first half of Milan's 2-0 win at Genoa on Friday but went off injured shortly afterwards.
Milan said he had also suffered heavy bruising although they did not say how long they expected him to be out of action.
