DART board Chairman John Carter Danish welcomes Orange Line to Irving
Transportation writer Michael Lindenberger reports:
DART chairman and former Irving City Council member John Carter Danish welcomed the arrival of the Orange Line to his hometown Friday.
The 29-year old agency is celebrating its latest milestone this weekend as it opens its fourth light rail line. Three stations begin operations Monday, and plans call for the line to run all the way to D/FW International Airport by 2014.
A crowd of VIPs gathered Friday to view examples of art that will adorn the stations and to hear state and federal officials speak about the expansion.
In an interview, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said she helped pass the first measure in the Texas Legislature that allowed cities — at the time, Houston and San Antonio — to hold transit votes. Dallas and neighboring cities created Dallas Area Rapid Transit in 1983.
In her time in the U.S. Senate, Hutchison has played a key role in DART's growth by supporting development of its light rail system, which initiated service in 1996.

Stanford's Taylor Tells Policy Makers to Abandon Temporary Fixes
John Taylor, the Stanford University economist who created a rule for guiding monetary policy, said policy makers need to abandon temporary programs as they seek to boost and maintain growth.
"We have to get away from all these temporary things" such as tax rebates and recent monetary-policy measures, Taylor said today in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Street Smart" with Trish Regan. "We have to get back to a strategy. I believe that will get the strong growth."
The Federal Reserve on Jan. 25 released federal funds rate forecasts by policy makers for the first time and extended its pledge to keep rates near zero at least through late 2014. The central bank had said it would keep borrowing costs low at least until the middle of 2013.
Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said in a press conference last month that the Fed is considering buying more bonds. The Fed pushed down the main interest rate close to zero in December 2008 and has engaged in two rounds of asset purchases totaling $2.3 trillion to boost the economy and reduce the jobless rate, which fell to a three-year low of 8.3 percent in January.
That's "contributing to this slow recovery because the Fed has bought so much of the debt that people don't know how they're going to undo that," said Taylor, a former U.S. Treasury Department undersecretary. "This uncertainty has led people to sit on all this cash at the banks."
Payroll Tax-Reduction
House and Senate negotiators are seeking to extend a two-percentage point reduction in the tax for workers through 2012, which would cost the Treasury about $100 billion. Congress in December passed a two-month extension of the tax cut, which expires Feb. 29, because they couldn't agree on how to finance a longer continuation.
Taylor has said that monetary and fiscal policy based on clear rules, without surprise interventions, would lead to better economic performance. The central bank contributed to the housing bubble by keeping rates too low in 2003 and 2004, according to Taylor.
The Taylor Rule's calculations for the federal funds rate are based on economic growth compared with the long-term potential for growth and inflation.
He said today that there's evidence economic expansion comes from "getting the tax rates down and keeping it there, not doing all of this temporary stimulation."
Taylor is author of a new book "First Principles: Five Keys to Restoring America's Prosperity," which calls for an expansion of economic freedom in U.S. fiscal, regulatory and monetary policy.

Case 1.
—J. B. M., a man, aged 37, was admitted to St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Nov. 8, 1920, complaining of pain in the upper portion of the abdomen, with nausea and vomiting. The illness had begun about October 1, with severe epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting, which were relieved only by the administration of morphin. After the third day the symptoms had been partially relieved, and during the three weeks following, the patient had remained very nearly symptom-free. October 30, however, following two or three days of severe constipation, the abdominal symptoms had returned. Once again they were partially controlled by morphin, but six days later the condition had apparently become critical. The bowels did not move in spite of brisk catharsis. The patient had vomited no blood, nor had he noticed any in the stools. Pain was localized just above the umbilicus, and did not spread to the back,

About Us
The Lancaster Children's Home, located in Lancaster, South Carolina, has been caring for hurting children and families since 1961. Initially, the Home provided essential residential care (i.e. food, shelter, clothing aid) to boys who for various reasons required out-of-home placement. Many of them were virtually homeless. Others had parents and homes to return to when feasible.
In 2002, the Lancaster Children's Home moved to a 121-acre location that includes separate campuses for the girls and boys. The facility currently provides facilities for 10 high management females and 10 moderate management males and 10 low management males. The home has a staff of 33 which includes a full-time licensed therapist. The Home also utilizes a volunteer program as well as mentors from the community.

text: Folks I have plotted below the age distribution of all the finalists of Majors and Season-Finales (i.e. TMC, WTF etc) in the Open Era. There have been 221 such finals since the 1968 French Open, (plus 2 season finales decided by round robin.) That gives us a grand total of 444 winners and runners-up. What you see in the chart below is the frequency of ages for each of these 444 appearances. So for example, 64 of the 444 appearances were by 25 year olds. (This chart counts repeat appearances by a player; so for example Ivan Lendl appears 28 times in the list at various ages - 19 times for his Major finals and 9 times for season-finale finals.) I'd love to hear what you guys make of the data. To me this chart is a great visual interpretation of the effect that age has on elite tennis players' performances. It gives historical context to two questions which are frequently discussed on these boards, and which are important to me as a Federer fan. 1. The extent to which Roger Federer's abilities have declined since 2004-07. This question can already partially be answered by looking at his win percentages: 93-95% from 04-06, 88% in 07, 82-84% from 2008-11, and 86% in 2012). Strictly speaking, in order to conclude from these win-pcts that Federer's powers have waned, we would need to be able to assess the strength of the field in 04-07 compared to 08-12. It is very challenging to objecively assess the relative strength of the field in two eras. (Beyond the hypothetical and, IMHO, perfectly reasonable assertion that the strength of the field doesn't change rapidly over short periods of time.) What this chart does therefore, is allow us to triangulate Federer's declining winning percentage with much broader, concrete and statistically significant evidence of the age when abilities decline. For example, the 4 peak performance years in the data are ages 22, 23, 24 & 25. For Federer this was the period from August 2003-August 2007 when he was at his destructive best. His results thereafter have stayed more or less true to the trend predicted by the data. 2. The extent of the handicap Roger faces while competing against a 25 year old On the chart I have taken the liberty to highlight Roger's current age (31) and also Andy and Novak's current age (25). It's clear to see that at 31 players have historically performed much poorer than when they were 25. So when Roger compiles a 6-6 record against Rafa, Murray and Nole in the last 12 months, the chart really puts this achievement into perspective. Few sundry notes: - You may have a concern that the distribution would be different for the 180 major winners, which is a more exclusive club than the 444 finalists of majors and season finales. So here is the age distribution for only for winners of the 180 Majors in the Open Era. The short answer is, nothing much changes. (Please note this chart had been updated until Wimbledon 2015 courtesy of @Carsomyr ) - You may also have a concern that the distribution may have changed over time. In a subsequent post I will share the age-distribution of major finalists by decade. Once again, the main message doesn't change. This histogram is very consistent across time. - Finally, you may have a concern that some players are early or late bloomers, and this data does not apply to them. There are some deviations from this trend in the data (e.g. Lendl, Agassi and Connors were on the late side while Becker and Wilander were on the early side - see chart below). However the large size of the original sample (n=444) suggests these guys are statistical outliers. Enjoy, Falstaff78

What's Wrong With This Picture?Rebecca Odes
Today, TIME Magazine sent around an email to drum up attention for their upcoming issue, timed for Mother's Day. They probably needn't have bothered including any actual copy: The cover says enough to grab anyone's eye…and get forwarded all o'er the internets.
The image, as you can see at left, features a very attractive young blond woman breastfeeding her son. The boy is 3, but looks more like a school-aged kid than a toddler. And if his height weren't enough, he's propped up on a chair, which brings him to breast-height. Both mother and son are eyeing the camera; she, confrontationally, he, slyly.
Both the cover and the article are clearly meant to be outrageous. I kind of have to hand it to TIME for touching on so many ways of being provocative at once. The picture manages to titillate, nauseate, and maybe even educate, depending on your angle.
Which is exactly why people find the picture so damn disturbing.
This image says a bucketload (check out Carolyn Castiglia's translation guide). But what strikes me most is how utterly (it took everything I had to avoid replacing those TTs with DDs) manipulative it is. Take the choice of cover model(s). On the one hand, it's nice to see a representative of a parenting style that defies our expectations (she's not the crunched out Earth Mama stereotype, visually, anyway). But it's too hard to put aside the reasons for that choice. Jamie Lynn Grumet is on the cover because her beauty and body make people think about sex, which sells magazines in itself. But it also makes the image 100 times more controversial than it would be if it were a woman who looked less sexy.
By choosing a woman who slides directly into our ideals of sexual attractiveness, TIME calls attention to the fact that people see breasts first and foremost as sex objects. By standing her big-looking son (dressed in camouflage, no less) on a chair, they bring him to the height of a near-adult. And they put both models into a position that has a lot more to do with sex than breastfeeding.
The mother's stance may have been meant to convey her strength, but that jut of the hip puts her into the classic S-shape, emphasizing her curves. Which, you'll note, are conveniently of manageable size so as not to threaten the readers with any surplus of flesh. (Imagine the photo with a woman who has breasts larger than a B cup and you'll get a very different picture—one that would likely have been deemed too explicit for TIME's readers.)
Having thoroughly enjoyed applying my Art History and Women's Studies knowledge to the cover photo, I haven't—and probably won't—bother reading the actual article. I've read enough about Attachment Parenting to last me the rest of my life. (Been there, done that, don't feel the need to explore it further.) I also don't feel like taking TIME's bait. It seems clear that this issue is primarily intended to make people upset, to create a division among women in the name of cultivating controversy and magazine sales. Like many other mothers (and others), I'm not buying it.
Read Katherine Stone's anti-mommy-war manifesto here.
See our Babble Voices bloggers' round-table discussion of the magazine here.
I've been talking a lot about safety hazards the last few days. It's something I've been concerned about although clearly not so much that I care to do anything about it. Here's one of those pictures that could be a poster for what not to do.
Let's count the things that are wrong with this picture:
1. Baby is on a couch, standing, seemingly without supervision, but obviously that is not true since I took the picture.
2. Baby leaning on window screen without child-safety gate.
3. Baby is standing on a laptop. (more…)

Missing: Women's Voices in the Media
Submitted by Kyla Bender-Baird on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 1:47pm
By Vivienne Heston-Demirel
As women anchors become more visible in some of the top spots in broadcast news, it is depressing to learn that NPR – that bastion of less histrionic reporting – is generally disinclined to consult women experts in their reports. Indeed, only 26% of NPR's sources are women. As Jehmu Greene, President of the Women's Media Center, commented
"Many times we hear there are no women, or there are more men to tap into as experts. I think that's a mindset that is common in the media. Clearly, it is worth it to do the extra work for the story to get the female perspective which many times can be different, unique and necessary."

Definition of schnauzer in English:
A dog of a German breed with a close wiry coat and heavy whiskers round the muzzle.
Example sentences
- Today, the German smooth-haired pinscher is considered the stepfather of several German dog breeds, including the miniature pinscher, wire-haired breeds such as the schnauzers and affenpinschers, and the popular Doberman pinscher.
- This is fortunate because a number of breeds - poodles, cocker spaniels, huskies, and schnauzers, to name a few - are prone to eye disease and should be carefully watched.
- By 1944, the Army accepted only five breeds: German shepherds, Belgian sheepdogs, Doberman pinschers, farm collies, and giant schnauzers.
1920s: from German, from Schnauze 'muzzle, snout'.

The Market, Like The Heart, Wants What It Wants
US stocks are off to a fairly blistering start (today notwithstanding,) and the ostensible reason is investors are confident the US economy will hang tough and "decouple" from Europe's woes. Okay, fine, we could quibble, but for now we'll let that stand.
So, what explains Europe? European stocks are having just as good an open to 2012 as their US counterparts. The DJIA is up 3.7% this year; the Stoxx 600 index is up 4.6%. France is up, Germany is up, Italy is up, the UK is up. Asian indexes are showing similar gains.
You want to argue the market's excited China's GDP didn't fall as much as expected? Go ahead. But that's hardly a fundamental reason for buying stocks. Also, Europe is at best sliding into recession, rather than tumbling headfirst, and the specter of a complete meltdown is still on the horizon.
So what gives? Two hoary market tropes: quantitative easing, and confidence.
The team at Merrill Lynch notes that in Europe sentiment is rising because, among other reason, the recession seems less severe than earlier fears. Another reason is expectations the ECB "will continue to backstop the market's liquidity needs." Importantly, the firm notes that whereas in the past, the US market had a leading influence on European markets, that "CNN effect" seems to have reversed, and European stocks are carrying US stocks.
So for Merrill, the gains boil down to confidence, and QE, and that's being transferred over here.
"Growth expectations jumped the most since 2Q09 as investors continued to bank on quantitative easing both in the US and Europe," the Merrill team writes.
Elsewhere, TrimTabs points out that most of the US gains are coming in overnight futures markets. "It's not the retail crowd that's pumping up stock futures," says executive vice president David Santschi. Retail investors are putting little "new money" to work in the equities market, he adds.
No, it's the institutional market, and what's driving the so-called smart money? Expectations of quantitative easing.
"With the presidential election less than 10 months away, the Fed will be pulling out all the stops to ensure President Obama's re-election," Santschi says. If the Fed doesn't play ball, of course, the smart money could be "badly disappointed."
There's a Fed meeting next week, although no big QE plans are expected. Indeed, if the recent data are to be believed, the economy is improving, making more Fed easing less, not more, likely.
It doesn't really make sense, but, as Emily Dickinson once wrote (we don't think about the stock market specifically, but we could be wrong,) "the heart wants what it wants, or else it does not care."
Poetic, no?

Project Number: 3020-32000-005-15
Start Date: Oct 01, 2010
End Date: Sep 30, 2015
This project will utilize the expertise of three cooperative institutions to provide the experimental validation of safe (not contaminated with live RVFV) diagnostic tools that could be distributed to regional Bio-Safety Level 2 (BSL-2) diagnostic laboratories for early detection. The project will also develop and provide the initial evaluation of a novel SERS based assay systems for viral diagnosis. ARS has and will develop molecular diagnostic tests for RVFV nucleic acid. ARS has and will develop immunological diagnostic assays base on BLS-2 generated diagnostic reagents. ARS will assist and coordinate the evaluation of these assays through cooperators.

BERKELEY -- A history lesson on Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks came alive for Kyle Kuwahara, 9, his twin brother Scott and their friends in the fourth grade at Jefferson School when they were told in January that their classmate would not be allowed to return home to Berkeley.
Rodrigo Javier Diaz Guzman's family visited relatives in Mexico during the holidays but were stopped in Houston on their way back. Immigration officials forced them to return to Mexico, because their visas had expired.
Kyle came home from school and said, according to his mother, Mable Yee, "The kids are really mad in the class (that Rodrigo can't come back). We want to go have a rally; and we want to go on a hunger strike, like Martin Luther King."
Yee, a child of Chinese immigrants who grew up in Berkeley, jumped into action, calling lawyers, advocates, and city and school district officials. She created the organization "Bring Rodrigo Home -- Kids 4 Kids" and put together a website at www.bringrodrigohome.org. She is planning to take some of Rodrigo's classmates to Washington, D.C., to lobby Congress for Rodrigo and immigration reform.
At their Tuesday evening meeting, a unanimous Berkeley City Council approved a resolution calling on President Barack Obama, Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Berkeley, to support the family's return.
Before the vote, some 30 of Rodrigo's friends gathered at the public speakers' podium, armed with "Bring Rodrigo Home" placards. Kyle read a letter he wrote to the president, which said, in part: "In school we are learning about Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks who fought for people's rights. So what about Rodrigo's freedom? This is our time to stand up like Cesar Chavez, Yuri Kochiyama and Delores Huerta and fight for people's rights."
Also in the room, via Skype from Mexico, was the Guzman family, who thanked the council, supporters and children for their efforts.
Councilman Jesse Arreguin co-sponsored the resolution along with Kriss Worthington and Max Anderson. In an interview before the meeting, Arreguin said that though it was true that the family's visas did expire, "they are victims of a broad flawed policy." He said this is an example of why we need to fix the immigration system.
The family is not permitted to reapply for visas for five years, Yee said. Advocates advised her that the best chance of bringing back the family would be community support, which could pressure a member of Congress to write special legislation for the family's return.
In a video Skype interview from Mexico on Tuesday morning, Rodrigo's mother, Reyna Diaz, wiped away tears as she talked about how much she regretted having made the trip. She said her son, who was less than 2 years old when they came to the United States, had gotten excellent grades in Berkeley but was failing school in Mexico.
"He speaks English, but his classes are in Spanish," she said. "Every day he asks when we're going back home. He doesn't want to eat. It's very hard on him."
In Berkeley, Diaz cleaned houses, and her husband washed dishes. Now Rodrigo's father has found a job that pays just $350 a month; they're living with relatives and have spent the little savings they had.
Last week, a unanimous school board passed its own resolution calling on Congressional representatives and Obama to enact "a compassionate and logical federal immigration policy, that would enable all members of our community, including Rodrigo and his family as well as others in similar situations, to return to ... our schools and our community."
The resolution argued that it is not fair for children to be caught up in "political gamesmanship."
The board unanimously supported the resolution. "It's not just Rodrigo, but Rodrigo becomes the beacon for what else is happening and has been happening," School Board Member Beatriz Levya Culter said.
In a Skype call after school Tuesday afternoon, Rodrigo asked a reporter to thank his friends. "They're little," he said. "They're fourth-graders, but when they stand up to someone else, they're like adults -- like Martin Luther King when he was trying to help (saying) people shouldn't be judged for their color. He was helping many people -- that's what they're doing -- they're helping me."

MSU is recognized by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as an Institution of Community Engagement, an honor given to fewer than 100 schools nationally.There are more opportunities for students to be engaged both in and out of the classroom.

Nearly 15 percent of the student body participates in Greek life, and we have a very active Student Government Association, Student Programming Board, Student Alumni Ambassador, visual and performing arts and intramural programs.

More than 55,000 people call MSU their alma mater. But to Eagle alumni, MSU is much more than that. It's an experience of a lifetime. It's an education that takes you to and beyond what you hoped to achieve. It's making lifelong friends. It's sincere, caring faculty and staff that take an interest in you as an individual. It's the memory of watching your team in the NCAA tournament. Our alumni tell the MSU story proudly and give back to the institution.

When struggling families in the eastern Iranian city of Birjand take measure of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presidency in its waning weeks, it's not about his browbeating oratory against the West or his battles with Iran's ruling clerics. Instead, it's the rows of simple two-story homes on the city's outskirts that sharply improved their lives. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi)

While attending the Antique Tractor and Engine Show at Sardis,
Mississippi, in October 1997, I saw a horseless carriage replica
and, after looking it over, I knew I had to build one.
I got a set of plans with few details and started. I looked at
the plans a few times and put them aside because they did not have
enough details for me.
It took from February '98 to September '98 off and on
building time to finish. I used a 6 HP Briggs & Stratton
engine, transmission and differential from a J. C. Penney lawn
mower. The wood body is cypress and walnut stained using clear
polyurethane finish. The fenders are aluminum. The radius rods, tie
rod and tiller are steel tubing. The seat is hinged to raise for
access to the engine and transmission. I used a centrifugal clutch
and only have a brake and gas pedal for simple operation for
younger drivers.
I went to Sardis, Mississippi, Antique Tractor and Engine Show
in October of 1998 and had many compliments.
The carriage is 52 inches wide, 82 inches long, and has a 36
inch wide seat for two. The frame is one inch square steel tube,
centrifugal clutch, 8-10 MPH speed. Good for parades, antique
tractor and auto shows. If you're interested in the plans,
there are 20 pages of computer-drawn detailed plans, parts supplier
list and photos. For ordering details, call me at 205-339-8138.

Nicotine replacement therapy has been shown to improve success rates in smoking cessation treatment. However, the available products cause adverse effects, which prevent some smokers from using them. A new method of delivering nicotine via inhaler supplies nicotine orally through inhalation from a plastic tube. This mode of delivering nicotine resembles smoking, as it includes handling and active inhalation.
To assess the efficacy and safety of the nicotine inhaler as an aid in smoking cessation.
A 1-year, randomized, double-blind, placebocontrolled study was conducted in a smoking cessation clinic. Two hundred forty-seven smokers who smoked at least 10 cigarettes per day and who had previously made a serious attempt to stop smoking using nicotine chewing gum were recruited through advertisements. Randomization to treatment or control conditions were made at the first group session, with 123 participants receiving nicotine inhalers and 124 receiving placebo inhalers. The inhalers were distributed at the second session and participants were allowed to use the inhalers for 6 months.
Main Outcome Measure:
Biochemically verified continuous abstinence from smoking after 2 and 6 weeks and at 3, 6, and 12 months.
Significantly more participants who had used the nicotine inhalers were continuously abstinent compared with those who had used the placebo inhalers. The respective success rates after 12 months were 28% and 18% (P=.046). At 6 months, 20 participants (16%) in the nicotine group were still using the inhaler, compared with 4 (3%) in the control group (P<.001).
The nicotine inhaler was an effective smoking cessation aid that produced a few mild and transient adverse effects.Arch Intern Med. 1997;157:1721-1728

A variation of the military title "colonel", basically meaning an individual, ex-military or civilian with too much ego with little or no experience to match, elevated to a position that screws everything (and everybody) up. Notoriously bad for business and customers. The term is especially used in the aviation industry.
The flight with hundreds of passengers was cancelled because the Kernel couldn't comprehend the piece of plastic trim on the window of row 22 didn't affect safety of flight issues and could, indeed continue.

David Lynch. You either love him or hate him. Me, I love the dude. While I can't explain a single one of his movies, that doesn't stop me from thinking they're awesome. What is Dennis Hooper huffing in "Blue Velvet"? No idea. All I know is that Frank Booth might be one of my favorite screen villains ever and that I haven't been able to drink Heineken since seeing that movie. It also doesn't help that it tastes terrible, but that's another story entirely.
There hasn't been much promotion for the new ABC show "Happy Town" which premiers tonight on the old boob tube. If it sucks though that might not be such a bad thing as it will most likely be canceled pretty quickly. Of course in all honesty if it's really good there's a solid chance it won't be around long either. In any case there's a 95% chance Eric is going to make one of us underlings watch it tonight so let's get to it.

Known worldwide and a local favorite, the iconic Madonna Inn is focusing on the community as it prepares for Valentine's Day.
Since its opening in 1958, Valentine's Day has been one of the inn's busiest holidays.
Amanda Littlejohns , artistic director of the Madonna Inn, said "Mr. Madonna did a lot of traveling and everywhere he went every place was all cookie-cutter rooms." Mr. Madonna wanted to create a place that was unique.
Julie Hood a guest, said "We had happy memories here." Julie and William Hood spent their honeymoon at the Inn 49 years ago. The couple says it's no cookie-cutter experience.
William Hood said, "My wife had seen brochures about it and asked for a French country room."
All these years later officials at the inn work to give a unique and memorable experience to their guests.
The staff created hundreds of their iconic heart cakes, a dining room that sets the right mood, complete with hearts and baby cupids, and even carriage rides.
Valentine's Day specials go through Monday.

After three straight Rose Bowl appearances, the Wisconsin football team came back down to earth last season. While 9-4 is nothing to shake a stick at, the home loss against Penn State coupled with the debacle in the desert and an implosion in the bowl game gave Badger fans cause for pause.
Returning just 10 total starters from last year's team, including just three on the defensive side of the ball, while facing uncertainty at the quarterback and wide receiver position, the Badgers should still find themselves the favorites in most games thanks to a favorable schedule in the Big Ten.
After a season-opening tilt against LSU in Houston, the rest of the Badgers' nonconference schedule shouldn't trouble them too much as they continue to work out the kinks of their passing game while giving their relatively inexperienced front seven some much-needed playing time.
Once the Badgers get into the meat of their Big Ten schedule, save for a game at Northwestern, it takes until mid-November for things to really get more difficult, as the final trio of games against Nebraska, at Iowa and a season-ending matchup for Paul Bunyan's Axe against Minnesota will determine whether or not the Badgers can get back to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship Game.
Without further ado, here are the Badgers' opponents, ranked from worst to first.
