The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, included 201 healthy nonvegetarian men and women between 65 and 80 years old. Everyone in the study was given calcium (500 mg per day) and vitamin D (400 IU per day) supplements; in addition, they received either a daily potassium citrate supplement (providing 2,346 mg of potassium) or placebo.
Blood, urine, and bone mineral density tests were done at the beginning of the study and every six months for two years. These tests showed the following:
The study's authors summarized their findings, saying, "Among a group of healthy elderly persons without osteoporosis, treatment with potassium citrate for 24 months resulted in a significant increase in [bone mineral density] at several sites tested, while also improving bone microarchitecture."
The amount of potassium in supplements is regulated in the US and many other parts of the world because they can aggravate peptic ulcers and can interact dangerously with certain medications, so getting the amount of potassium citrate used in this study may require a prescription. It is also important to note that only potassium citrate has been shown to benefit bones.
Although eating potassium-rich foods appears to be less effective than taking potassium citrate, we do know that people who eat fruits and vegetables produce less acidic byproducts that might strip calcium from bones, and some researchers have found that a low-potassium diet is linked to bone loss. Here are some ways to get more potassium, as well as other nutrients to keep bones strong:

Economists React: 'Uneven Momentum' in Economy After Weaker Year End
The U.S. economy grew at a slower pace in the final three months of 2013 than initially estimated. Gross domestic product expanded at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 2.4% in the fourth quarter, the Commerce Department said Friday, revising down the agency's initial estimate of 3.2%. Several measures of inflation were revised up for the fourth quarter, as well.
A much weaker end of the year growth rate than originally estimated suggesting uneven momentum in the economy. Consumers were still out spending at year end but at a much slower pace than originally anticipated, falling short of expectations and leaving many businesses strapped with inventory to now work through in the first part of 2014. –Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at Sterne Agee
While 2.4% is fairly sluggish, it was despite more adverse than usual weather at the end of the quarter and the government shutdown at the start. The shutdown directly subtracted 0.3 points from the growth rate through the government spending component, but there were likely other effects as well. –Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics
The downward revision to inventories is good news for near-term growth. Inventories added 0.1 percentage point to growth in the fourth quarter, down from 0.4 percentage point in the advance estimate. In the third quarter inventories added 1.7 percentage point to growth. With the smaller inventory build in the fourth quarter firms have less stock on their shelves than initially reported, so inventories will be less of a drag on growth in the first half of this year. –Gus Faucher, senior economist at PNC Financial Services Group
While GDP was weaker overall, a blend of stronger investment, solid consumption and a smaller contribution from stock building represents a bit more of a robust mix. We expect a pace of around 2.5% to continue to be the trend during 2014. –Peter Newland, economist at Barclays
This suggests that the economy is still locked on the same old sub-term growth trajectory. –Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities USA
On the inflation front, despite the 0.3 [percentage point] upgrade to the headline deflator, the revisions to the core measure was more modest (up from 1.1% to 1.3%), which suggests that underlying inflationary momentum remains quite subdued. A more updated glimpse on the inflation picture will be gleaned on Monday when the January personal income and spending report is released. – Millan Mulraine, economist at TD Securities
Because the recent weakness in retail sales was already known, these new GDP data reveal nothing new about the state of the economy. If anything, they provide information to justify a small upward change to the first quarter real GDP forecast. With inventories and exports now viewed to be growing at more moderate rates, the slowdown in growth, which was a feature of the first quarter forecast, will be tempered. An upward revision in business equipment investment also helps bolster the case for a sounder economic fundamentals in 2014. –Doug Handler, chief U.S. economist at IHS

HESPERIA — San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department officials said on Wednesday that suicide was the cause of death after a man was found dead Sunday on Highway 138 between Summit Valley Road and Highway 173.
Philip Smyth, 50, was found dead in his vehicle on Sunday morning after the California Highway Patrol responded to a call of a traffic collision on Highway 138 at about 5 a.m.
Upon arrival, CHP found no collision, but a body was found in a vehicle. CHP officials contacted sheriff's deputies. The Sheriff's Department began an investigation and shut down eastbound and westbound lanes of Highway 138 for eight hours on Sunday.
The incident was investigated as a possible homicide, but officials ruled it a suicide after an autopsy was conducted.

This article is part of PharmTech's supplement "Injectable Drug Delivery."
The formulation process for parenteral, or injectable, solutions often follows the overly simplified method of combining water for injection (WFI), active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and excipients in a formulation vessel (FV) located within a formulation room and mixing until dissolved. The formulated solution is filtered through one or two sterilizing-grade (0.22 μm) membrane filters into a sterilized receiving vessel located in a traditional cleanroom with an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Class 5 unidirectional airflow, isolator, or restricted access barrier system (RABS) (1). Occasionally, however, the formulated product includes a component that cannot be sterilized through filtration because the act of filtration would render the final product ineffective. These nonfilterable components may be insoluble particles suspended in a solution or they could be molecules too large to pass through a filter membrane. With the exception of terminal sterilization of the formulated or filled product, devising a means to formulate the product aseptically may be the only solution to ensure product sterility. Performing aseptic formulation requires consideration of several aspects for the entire process.
In making these evaluations, the analysis in this article assumes that the facility and equipment have been qualified and approved for parenteral production under good manufacturing practices (GMPs). The analysis takes the perspective of using a traditional cleanroom for manufacturing with the understanding that these approaches can be applied to advanced systems such as isolators or RABS and tailored as necessary.Assess the product
The first step in determining the approach for an aseptic-formulation project is to learn the characteristics and limitations of the product. This determination will help guide the formulation process. The key elements are: the total volume to be formulated because this will influence the formulation vessel size and design; and the various components of the product capable and incapable of being sterile filtered.
The type, brand, and model of sterilizing filter selected may influence the sterilization process for the filters (autoclave or sterilization-in-place [SIP]) and may also influence the formulation process. Of those components that can be sterile filtered, it must be determined whether they should be filtered in series through the same set of filters or whether separate filters are needed for some or all components. This selection may influence the sterilization process for the filters and may also influence the formulation process.
For those components that cannot be sterile filtered, it is important to understand how those will be sterilized and where such sterilization will occur (presterilized or sterilized in-house). Sterilizing the material in house could add another layer of complexity and cost to the project, depending on the characteristics of the material. Also important to know are any specific temperature conditions required for the formulation process because these conditions will influence the FV design and potential heating and cooling equipment.
Assess existing capabilities
The existing facilities and available utilities may be adequate, may need to be modified, or may need to be designed and built to support aseptic formulation project needs. A source of clean, ISO 5-compliant, unidirectional airflow is critical for making aseptic connections and performing general aseptic operations. Additionally, some aseptic connection points may require the use of horizontal laminar airflow. Making the decision requires a good understanding of the aseptic formulation process as well as the intended sterilization process.
From a utilities perspective, if the FV will be sterilized through SIP, qualified pure-steam ports and inert-gas ports will be needed in the area intended for SIP. The pure steam-system pressure should be high enough (e.g., ≥ 40 psig) to ensure that sterilization within the FV can occur at the same time as supplying other steam-consuming equipment (e.g., autoclaves, sterilizers, and lyophilizers). The inert-gas distribution system pressure will likely exceed 100 psig. Therefore, regulators will be needed to reduce the pressure for use in drying the FV following SIP.

text: en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Leslie As played by the incomparable Eddie Paskey, Lieutenant Leslie was one of TOS's most prominent background artistes, making his first appearance on the bridge in the second pilot ("Where No man has gone before"), and lasting all the way through to season three (IIRC, "And The Children Shall Lead"?). Leslie could most frequently be seen in a particular background position during bridge scenes, often reacting with detached bemusement at whatever the main characters were up to in the foreground of the scene. His raised eyebrows and almost silent infered "Why me?" expression were a common sight in many classic episodes of TOS. And the few occasions he was allowed to speak were always memorable too, like the time he mouthed off at Captain Kirk in "This Side Of Paraside", leaving the good Captain rather shocked (nay, speechless!) at Leslie's blatant insubordination. But it's a little known fact that, as with Chuck Norris on the internet, Leslie is Star Trek's very own Mementic Badass. Ex Astris Scientia has this to say about Mister Leslie: To heck with him only running ONE ship alone... I think that Leslie could, if he really wanted to, run an entire Armada! Remotely, using only his carefully honed brain wave patterns! That's how badass Lieutenant Leslie is.

Acquired: Traded to Detroit by Oakland for John Brenneman, Ted Hampson and Bert Marshall on January 9, 1968.
Douglas emerged from Shore's program as a tough and heady defenseman who caught Punch Imlach's eye in 1962. Douglas's first 80 games in a Leafs sweater were as good as his hockey experience would ever get. He corralled 22 points, 107 penalty minutes and left the Gardens in the Spring of 1963 with, figuratively speaking, a Calder Trophy as rookie of the year in one hand and the Stanley Cup in the other.
From the halcyon heights of his rookie campaign, Douglas settled into the reality of life in the NHL trenches. Although he managed to hang in with the Leafs until 1967, with three All-Star game appearances, he was demoted to the minors in 1964 and 1967, shortly before the Leafs won Stanley Cups on both occasions.
In 1967, he was claimed by the expansion Oakland Seals who sent him to Detroit shortly thereafter for a fistful of players. Douglas lasted a season and a half with the Wings before slipping into the AHL with the Rochester Americans and the Baltimore Clippers.
In 1972, Douglas joined in the WHA bonanza, serving as a player/coach with the short-lived New York Raiders. From there, it was back to the minors to round out his career with the Clippers and the Toledo Goaldiggers of the IHL.

I wanted to make a tasty seafood appetizer for Christmas Eve dinner, so I whipped this up on a whim using 2 of my newest Spice House acquisitions: Sunny Spain and Argyle Street Asian blend
12 cakes
Trader Joe's carries panko breadcrumbs at a very reasonable price. They're worth using, and have a light, flakier texture that works well with fish. Regular breadcrumbs will still work here, but for best results, stick with the panko ones.
This recipe was provided by Lydia Rossi from Chicago.

City manager says staff accidentally endorsed paying David Dean's bills and extending his contract
Three City Council agenda items up for a vote tonight have caused officials no end of headaches. Together, they would pay the majority of $197,000 Dean International has billed the city since its contracts expired, and officially extend the company's consulting and event planning contracts into 2013.
The way those items are printed on the agenda, staff recommends that council approve all of them.
That, it turns out, was an accident.
"They were supposed to read 'discuss and take action,'" City Manager Tommy Gonzalez told me. "Ultimately that's on me."
Gonzalez said he didn't know how staff's endorsement of the items ended up on the agenda, but he accepted responsibility for the mistake.
So… let's take a rundown of where we stand on what I feel justified in calling the Dean Debacle:
Individual council members told Dean to keep working and billing the city after his contract expired in September, but the full council never ratified that arrangement.
Consequently, the city accumulated nearly $200,000 in Dean bills it has no authority to pay.
Council needs to decide tonight if it will grant that authority.
But if council votes to pay Dean, it also needs to decide how much to pay him. He's billed the city $197,000 so far, but those rates are based on an expired contract and last year's budget. There is no document obligating the city to pay any of it. In fact, there is no document, contract or official agreement of any kind authorizing Dean's employment over the last ten weeks.
Council members Rose Cannaday, Dennis Webb and Michael Gallaway — all historical Dean supporters in the perennial spat at City Hall over whether the consultant is worth his fees — requested an agenda item to pay all of Dean's bills.
Instead, staff wrote the agenda item to pay only about 80% of the bills, arguing that the consulting budget has shrunk since his contract expired.
And aside from the billing issue, council has to vote on whether to officially extend Dean's contracts so this sort of billing confusion doesn't keep compounding. If they don't, Dean supporters argue, the city will be down a crucial consultant and event planner.
To further complicate matters, staff accidentally recommended council approve these agenda items. The city manager had meant to make no recommendation on them.
So how will council vote tonight? I have no earthly idea. But I'll be live-tweeting whatever happens again.

A 'Lawyer for All Seasons': The Lawyer as Conflict Manager
Michael Thomas Colatrella Jr.
University of the Pacific - McGeorge School of Law
September 13, 2011
Pacific McGeorge School of Law Research Paper No. 11-04
This interdisciplinary Article explores why interpersonal conflict management principles and skills are essential to good lawyering and, thus, why law schools should teach these principles and skills to all their students. In demonstrating the immense practical value an understanding of interpersonal conflict management principles and skills have in the practice of law, this Article examines case studies involving organizations that have dramatically reduced legal costs, among other benefits, by abandoning a solely legalistic approach to conflict and embracing conflict management principles. The lessons learned from these studies and the interpersonal conflict management principles that underlie them support the idea that the legal profession's transformation from one that emphasizes a narrower legalistic approach to one that embraces a broader conflict management approach applies to all lawyers and benefits all clients.

|The Nepisiguit River from Mt. Carleton to Bathurst
Hal, Scooter and the author toast the beginning of a Nepisiguit adventure at the dock on the shores of Bathurst Lake. It was beginning to spit rain, and a cold wind was in the air.
Pic by Ralph Minton.
Hal and Scooter start out on the calm water of Bathurst Lake.
Looking back through snow and rain at Mt. Carleton
We spent the second day at our campsite, to wait out the cold wind, rain and snow. Frequent forays for firewood kept us busy.
The cold front moved out in the late afternoon. We're looking downstream from our campsite on the Nepisiguit as the sun sets behind me.
Hal and Scooter are all smiles as the third day of our trip starts out sunny and warm.
Sometimes the best scenery is back upriver. Here's a shot of Scooter cruising in my wake.
It may not appear rough from this angle, but the portage around the four ledges at Indian Falls was long and the going was tricky. It took us several hours to complete the carry.
In retrospect, we could have hugged the left bank between the ledges and shortened our carries somewhat.
Indian Falls at high water. This is the fourth ledge in the two-km long rapid.
Intrepid kayakers run it, but we didn't even consider it.
Hal and Scooter pose riverside. The Nepisiguit has grown to a great size by Day 4.
Paddling wasn't really necessary, all we had to do was rudder our boats in the current and enjoy the views of the Appalachian foothills. There were no downed trees in the current to worry about on this trip.
We came to the mouth of the Narrows Gorge late on Day 4.
I didn't dare get closer to the edge of the cliff, so this is the only shot I have of the rapids in the Narrows Gorge.
Hal is the first to set out down the gorge below the dam. The water is foaming out of the powerhouse pipes.
Pabineau Falls. The carry around this set of drops was long and arduous in the blistering heat.
Most rapids after Grand Falls ended in an impassable six to eight foot drop, with curling waves and crooked rocks. We skirted the big drops by sneaking down the right bank, often going to shore for a short line or portage.
One of the many impassable drops that marked the end of each rapid in the Rough Waters section above the town of Bathurst. The camera angle does not capture the steep gradient of the drop. I understand this section is a kayaker's paradise, with long steep rapids one after the other.
The Nepisiguit is New Brunswick's best candidate for an excursion river. Its headwaters are in Mount Carleton Park, far from the province's population centres, and just underneath the tallest hills in the province.
Organizing a trip down the Nepisiguit takes time, planning and connections. Shuttles are long, on rough and winding roads. Still, once you push off at the thoroughfare on Bathurst Lake in the park, you know instantly that all the planning and preparation were worth it.
The hills that ring these lakes are the highest in the province, and no roads, buildings or wires mar their beauty. You are transported into a time before the European imposed the scars of his technology on the brooding, silent forest.
On this trip in May 2007, Scooter drove up from New Hampshire, and Hal came fresh from a trip on the St. John River in Maine. Scooter and I met him at the campground in Mount Carleton Provincial Park. His trip on the Saint John had been cold and wet in the snow, and every article of clothing he owned was hanging to dry above the shelter's wood stove. He wasn't too happy to pack everything wet for the trip on the Nepisiguit, starting right now!
Our first day was cold and wet, with alternating snow squalls and freezing rain in clammy fog. I had previously praised the scenery to Scooter and Hal to persuade them to come up, and it was disappointing to see the shores of the four headwater lakes shrouded in the clouds.
We were glad to see the shelter at the outlet of Moose Lake, a small table with a roof, but no walls. Still, we were out of the rain and wind, and managed to warm up despite the wet sneaking in to all our clothes. I promised them the campsite was not too far downstream.
As we left the chain of lakes and headed down the river proper, it began to get a little worrisome. Hal was wet to start with, and I knew Scooter was thin as a rail and couldn't take the cold too long. The rain and snow began to intensify, and my friends began asking how far downriver the campsite was. Soon after we passed under the bridge at the forks of the Little South Branch, we gathered in an eddy at the tail end of an island.
I knew the campsite was just downriver, but the current was whipping by, and we would have to watch carefully for the break on the left bank that marked dry ground we could tent on. I made sure they stayed behind me. As we slipped back out into the current, a pickup drove by on the woods road to our left, and the driver tapped his horn and waved to us.
Finally, we pulled in to shore, tied up our boats, and clambered up the slope to our site. It wasn't long before everybody was outfitted in dry clothes again, and a small fire was lit in spite of the rain.
Shortly, the pickup truck drove by our site, and two gentlemen and a lady stepped out to pay us a visit. They belonged to a cabin owners' association, and were checking on member's properties in the area.
They proved to be very sociable and friendly, and remarked that they had close relatives living near Hal's home outside of Boston. After much pleasant banter, they re-assured us that the weather was due to turn nice not the next day, but the day after. Buddy actually said "It can get blisterin' hot up here from one day to the next." Prophetic, indeed. They left us with their best wishes and good advice on possible campsites to see us down the river. Much appreciated!
The zipper on my tent froze that night, and I ripped it beyond repair on one of my nocturnal missions. So when I peered out of the gaping tent door at first light, I was greeted by big wet fluffies coming down all around. They showed no sign of stopping, so we took Buddy's advice and decided to spend the day in camp and hope his weather forecast was accurate.
Several times that morning, a ray of sunlight made us second-guess our decision, but a cold wind would always come up and blow snow at us.
It was on this day that we ran short on beer and water. We had enough for five days on the water, but not for an extra fluff day at the start with not much else to do but swill around the campfire. Next time, I'm going to hide a cache of drinking water (and other necessities) downriver, just in case.
The next day dawned bright and warm, just as Buddy promised. It sure was nice to wake up to the sun.
This next day was pure bliss, as we paddled down a wide, quick river between high forested mountains. Although there were frequent swifts and rocky turns, there was no rough water almost all day. We were able to float downstream and enjoy the scenery without a care until we came to Indian Falls later in the afternoon.
I kept my eyes on the trees along the left bank as the afternoon wore on, because the river got steeper and rockier as we approached the falls. I saw the sign for the first drop on a tree at water's edge on river left. Many folks run Indian Falls at lower water levels, especially the first three ledges, but with the river at this height after several days of cold rain, we weren't taking any chances.
The portage trail may not appear too rough at the start, but the carry around the four ledges at Indian Falls was long and the going was tricky. It took us several hours to complete the carry. We set up our tents in the small clearing above the main drop and finished off the last of our beer as we enjoyed supper later that evening.
I walked out to the river's edge before bedtime that night, stood underneath the "portage" sign, and watched the river roll down the rapids and over the brink in the dark. Looking to the sky, I saw the Big Dipper shining to my right, and for the first time in many years, I could follow the handle of the Big Dipper over to the Little Dipper off to the left. The two constellations were neatly framed between the treetops as I gazed upstream and savored the moment.
The stretch directly below Indian Falls is known as Allan's Rocks. It is quick water for several hundred meters, with a deep hole behind a rock that is hard to miss. We all ran it smoothly, with a whoop or two as we each skirted the brink of the hole.
The high hills began to level out as we approached the Narrows of the Nepisiguit. The gorge is hard to miss, as reapids appear where the granite walls rise steeply.
We elected to carry our gear over the portage on river left. Hal and I left our boats in the brush, so we could return and run the gorge with empty boats in the morning. Scooter chose to hump his boat over the hilly trail, which proved to be steep and seemingly endless. We were all dripping with sweat and exhausted in the heat by the time we reached the campsite, the remains of a lodge with a brick hearth for a fireplace. Hal and I took turns boosting each other's courage for the morning run of the Narrows.
I went first into the gorge. I chose to run fairly close to river centre to begin so I could keep my options open. The waves were big and continuous. The stream was wide enough so I was able to skirt the biggest ones, and finished my run through the gorge on river left by skirting the last major drop. I turned my boat upstream in the eddy just in time to see Hal catch air on the tailrace of the rock's haystack, a wide grin splitting his face from ear to ear.
The river widens into a small lake below the Narrows as it approaches Grand Falls. The portage, as marked on the "official" Nepisiguit River map, is on river left, and runs a few kilometres to the end of the gorge. We weren't looking forward to it. But we met a kindly gentleman at the takeout above the dam, who suggested a shorter portage ... down the cliff face of the gorge immediately beside the powerhouse outlet.
With his help, we lowered our boats down the sheer face maybe thirty metres on rope, clinging to rocks and roots as we went down. Our new friend took all our gear in his pickup, and drove to the end of the gorge to wait for us. We really appreciated it.
Hal launched first, and tucked in just downstream, to the right of a small wave train. I went second, and decided to run through the waves. They weren't high, and I even took the precaution to kneel on the floor of the canoe for added stability. But over I went anyway, capsizing to the right.
To make a long story short, I went for a very long swim through the gorge. I tried to hold onto my boat, but there was no way to stop it in the quick deep current. Besides, the walls of the gorge were vertical. At one point, I grabbed the rope attached to my boat's stern, and tried to pull it to the wall where I might get a foothold. But each time I got close, the current whipped me back out into the middle. I finally let go of my boat's rope, and managed to pull myself out of the water and prop myself up on a small ledge against the cliff face. I stayed there until Scooter came through to peel me off and help me into his boat.
I was fortunate there were no rocks or waterfalls in the gorge, as there was nowhere to go but all the way down to the slack water. We managed to push my boat to shore, where I dumped out the water, and borrowed a paddle from Scooter. I found my own paddle on the way to pick up our gear at the end of the portage trail.
The section below Grand Falls to the river's mouth at Bathurst was the roughest stretch on the whole river. The rapids are long and numerous, and almost all end with a sharp drop over rocky ledges. The largest, Pabineau Falls, has claimed the life of several paddlers in recent memory. I lost count of the number of times we chose to line around impassable rocky drops.
It took us the better part of two days to run from Grand Falls to Bathurst. We had run out of drinking water the day before, and all we had to drink the river water from was a jug with a nose-cone-type filter at the business end. It was sunny and blistering hot both days, and it seemed we were drinking the river dry.
I wouldn't normally choose to drink the river water, but we would have died of thirst if not. Hal came down with giardia (beaver fever) once he arrived back home in Massachusetts, but he isn't sure whether he contracted it on the Nepisiguit, or on the Saint John the week before. But he was dreadfully sick, and lost a lot of weight before he finally turned the corner and got better, I'm told.
Our last carry was river left at the Powerhouse, where a ten-foot rock ledge and a concrete dam just below marked sea level. We paddled one final kilometre to finish in the salt water of Bathurst Harbour, where our friend Ralph had left our vehicle waiting for us.
All told, it took six days, including the snow and rain day we spent in camp, to paddle from Mount Carleton to Bathurst. I hope to do it again soon.
It was so cold the day we spent in camp that our ropes froze.
Hal admires the artwork of the frost in his canoe painter.

The film has Kamal Haasan in a new role. One that was least expected. The actor has done the roles of a hero, a dancer, a mad person, a goon, even that of a woman, but never before has he been a dead body through a film.

By Spc. Terence Ewings 4th Advise and Assist Brigade Public Affairs 1st Cavalry Division, U.S. Division-NorthJune 11, 2011
CONTINGENCY OPERATING SITE MAREZ, Iraq " Senior leaders from U.S. Division-North and 4th Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, welcomed recently promoted sergeants into the Noncommissioned Officer Corps during an induction ceremony at Contingency Operating Site Marez, June 3.
"Head Hunter" NCOs from 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, 4th AAB, crossed the threshold from junior enlisted to becoming leaders, signifying their progression and place among the senior enlisted Soldiers who joined them during the ceremony.
Command Sergeant Major Daniel A. Dailey, senior enlisted advisor to U.S. Division-North and 4th Infantry Division, offered wisdom about the tenets of leadership to the new NCOs.
"Leadership doesn't just happen," Dailey said. "Leadership is an art. You can't buy it, you can't find it, you can't take it from someone else. You have to learn it."
Sergeant Miriam Buck, a supply specialist assigned to Troop D, 1st Sqdn., 9th Cav. Regt., 4th AAB, said she was inspired by having senior leadership on hand to welcome her and 19 other Soldiers into the NCO Corps.
"They're acknowledging all the hard work we put in to get here, and they're recognizing us as new leaders that will grow to follow in their footsteps," said Buck.
Promoted to sergeant in January, the Los Angeles native is responsible for managing and overseeing logistical operations for Troop D.
"It's good to see the young Soldiers that are coming up through the ranks and beginning their journey as noncommissioned officers," said Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Odoms, a native of Killeen, Texas, and operations NCO assigned to Head Hunter Squadron.
A veteran of 18 years, Odoms said he enjoys mentoring the new inductees from Head Hunter Squadron.
"I look back on my years as a newly promoted sergeant and all the gumption that I had," said Odoms. "I now see it all in their eyes."
Dailey left the sergeants with a challenge for their coming years as leaders.
"You newly promoted noncommissioned officers are our nation's credentials now," said Dailey. "We have invested in you, and you now are entrusted with our future."

Many Brits now choose to bring their cars over to Tunisia or hire one for the duration of their holiday, enabling them to discover the many attractions that Tunisia has to offer at their leisure. With Tunisia being only roughly the size of England, it is possible to travel from top to bottom, discovering the pine forests and rocky coasts of the North and the Mediterranean garden resorts of the Cap Bon, whilst having even enough time to fit in the magnificent desert and lunar landscapes of the South!
Sandra who divides her time between her homes in Scotland and Sousse describes her recent holiday in February for us, doing just this, holidaying on the Island of Djerba, before heading off to visit many of the attractions in the South of Tunisia.
The ferry crossing is from Djorf to Ajim/Djerba and takes 15 minutes.
Fishing Boats At Djorf
Six ferries go back and forth and the cost is 800 millimes for a car, 200 for a motorbike or bicycle, passengers go free.
Arriving At Ferry Terminal, Djerba
The Marina looked lovely although not busy at this time of the year.

On Wednesday, drove to Matmata, the long way!
Took the Roman Road (the road to Zarzis) which is on the south of the island about 7 km and it was built on the foundations of the ancient Roman Road.
The Green Mosque Of Zarzis
Drove to Medenine, Toujane, Matmata, Matmata Nouvelle and Mareth then back to Djerba via the ferry from Djorf to Ajim.
This mountain top town is Toujane just before Matmata and the views from here are breathtaking.

Thursday went to Ben Gardane and then on to Ras Jedir which is the last Tunisian town before Libya – but could only go within 1 km of the town as once you are in there, they consider you to be going to or have been in Libya and you have to have relevant paperwork, passports, etc.
These photos are on the road to and in Ben Gardane where you can find loads of bargains.
Signpost To Ben Gardane
At the Souk which looks nothing from the outside, you can buy almost anything. I priced a 42" LG TV at 1600TD. There was every make, style and colour of mobiles phones available - all at amazingly low prices!
Materials At Ben Gardane Souk
The one long street you can see is lined both sides with vendors selling their wares from Libya. I couldn't help smiling when I saw the one shop selling bedding and tyres - unusual combination.
Ben Gardane Street Market
An Unusual Combination - Tyres And Bedding - Ben Gardane
In the town of Ben Gardane there are streets and streets of money traders selling and buying Tunisian & Libyan Dinars
Ben Gardane Money Changer
After Ben Gardane on the way to Ras Jedir the last town in Tunisia and the Libyan border, there is a little town called Jamila. Here Tunisia's answer to The Two Ronnies were - The Two Zouaris. The one with the headgear to the right sells Libyan petrol and you can see his house.
Zouaris And Zouaris In Jamila
He has two generators, both operated by petrol, which give him heat and light - he said he doesn't need a thing, he has everything he needs. Both said they originated from Baghdad!!! mmmmm!
The Zouaris Home??(!)
This petrol in Libya costs 4 dinars for 24 litres. In Tunisia they charge 16 dinars. I filled up my car for 35 dinars and he assured me it was unleaded!!! To fill the car in Sousse cost me 51 dinars - quite a difference
Both the Zouaris change money too - barcha floos!
From around this point the road signs read 2522 kms to Cairo!!
From Ben Gardane to Ras Jedir it's 31kms.
From Ras Jedir to Tunis it's 588kms
The lady selling Libyan petrol wasn't keen on having her face shown which is a pity because she was beautiful. She offered me a traditional costume and a job if I wanted. Her home is situated just as you come off the Roman Road from Djerba.
The Petrol Lady Offered Me A Job!
Didn't have enough hours to get to Tataouine – next time. Came back through Zarzis which looks amazing – Vincci have a lovely hotel there which I'm going to try another time.

Set 1 was a disaster. Curtain With was incredible (but there was no segue into Mango or from Mango into Sand so don't expect any jamming when you listen to this show). Mango was butchered as bad as any song disaster I've experianced. I hope they practice the chorus before trying it again live. Sand had a great jam in it and Pebbles and Marbles was nice. But the band was not on the same page during set one. Trey was lost, totally lost. Honestly, listen to Curtain and skip the rest of this set.
Set 2 was as good as 1 was bad. The Crooseyed was INCREDIBLE. Fluffhead was very strong as well (but there was no segue into 2001....) and the intro to 2001 was spacey as heck. Tweezer was powerful. A great second set and a nice recovery from the set one trainwreck. If you are into Fall of '94, December of '95, or Fall '97 shows, then this isn't your show.

inning SEMO Conference victory Wednesday at Kelly High School.
Cape Central led 9-0 before the Hawks could get on the board in the bottom of the third inning.
"We had some walks and some errors early and those will hurt you every time you play a team like Cape Central," Kelly coach Cory Johnson said. "Those kind of teams are always going to capitalize on your mistakes."
Cape Central (9-4, 6-1 SEMO Conference) score a run in the first inning and posted a seven-run second inning highlighted by Kory Kitchen's two-run home run.
"We hit the ball a lot better early today, but then we started taking too many good pitches, so I was disappointed with our aggressiveness at the plate," Cape Central coach Steve Williams said.
Kelly managed to trim the Cape Central lead to 10-4 heading into the top of the sixth inning, but the Tigers put the game away with five more runs to enforce the 10-run rule.
Blake Slattery had a two-run home run in the sixth.
"I never was really worried, but at the same time we didn't want Kelly to hang around too long and then next thing you know we've got a close game in the last couple innings," Williams said.
The Hawks were led by Dallas Tew's 2-4 day with a two-run home run in the bottom of the third inning.
Ryan Essner, Levi Felter, Taylor James and Dustin LeGrand all had hits for the Hawks. Essner added an RBI.
"We put the ball in play and gave ourselves some opportunities but we just fell a little short," Johnson said.
Cape Central's Justin Myers was the winning pitcher, throwing five innings and allowing four runs (three earned) off four hits with two strikeouts and three walks.
James Miller took the loss in 2 2/3 innings pitched.
Craig Ervin came in for relief before giving way to Ross Lasiter in the sixth inning.
"James had some trouble finding the strike zone and when you start walking people you've got to groove some pitches and Cape Central took full advantage," Johnson said. "They're going to win a lot of games. They go up there swinging and they run the bases well."
The Tigers were led by Slattery's 3-5 day at the plate. Including his home run, he also had a double and a triple. Others were Brooks Osburn (2-3), Joel Uhls (2-3) and Matt Hester (2-4).
Kelly falls to 4-5 on the season and 1-4 in the SEMO Conference.
The Hawks will play at Notre Dame today at 4 p.m. in another SEMO Conference game.

Patrick Hwu, M.D.
Professor and Chair
Melanoma Medical Oncology
University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
1515 Holcombe Blvd, Unit 430,
Houston, TX 77030
TRIUMPH Melanoma Project Title: Generate a response against cancer using combinations of targeted and immunotherapy.
Objective: Determine rational therapeutic approaches to treat patients with metastatic melanoma utilizing melanoma mouse models and/or patient blood and tissue samples.
Surgery and chemotherapy have long been considered standard of care for metastatic melanoma, however the response rates for those treatment modalities remain dismally low (about 10 – 12%). Two new therapeutic approaches for melanoma (immunotherapy and targeted therapy) are gaining critical acclaim and acceptance. We have had response rates of over 45% in some of our early studies with immunotherapy and targeted therapy. This being said, we are still in the process of determining why, for immunotherapy, some patients have remarkable and durable results while others do not. Also, we have seen amazing initial results for some targeted therapies with almost immediate resolution of symptoms and tumors. However, such results have not proven to be durable for most patients. Further study and rational combinations of immune agents as well as targeted therapies may be essential to gain the fullest potential of personalized therapies.
Immunotherapy focus
Adoptive T-cell therapy (ACT) has tremendous potential for the treatment of patients with advanced cancers. We have been successful in identifying a patient's own cancer killing cells (T-cells) and expanding those tumor-reactive T-cells to large numbers in the lab. Once they have multiplied to therapeutic numbers, these cells are then reinfused back into the melanoma patient from whom they were harvested. This revitalized force of soldier cells have the potential to aggressively and effectively wipe out the tumors they encounter. This has been a major and exciting laboratory-to-clinic undertaking, and as mentioned above has allowed us to help many patients who had limited options. We are now looking very close at our survivors who have been very kind in offering us blood and/or tumor samples to examine in our lab. One very important laboratory project we have underway is to look closely at the T-cells that have survived which remain primed waiting to attack any future cancer. Our objective is to determine how these cells correlate with patient responses, and to use what we learn to make ACT better.
Targeted therapy focus
The treatment of melanoma is entering into a new era of personalized therapy based on an improved understanding of the molecular causes and diversity of these cancers. We have gained a more focused direction from our molecular studies which have shed new light on the strategies needed to facilitate the development of more effective personalized targeted cancer therapies. We have had success in using specific drug combinations to shut down pathways that have halted the progression of melanoma for patients with specific molecular characteristics, however finding methods to make these results long lasting will take concerted effort. In addition, gaining the data needed to have new drugs approved as standard of care is a time consuming, but worth-wild effort.
Combinations of the best of both genres
The rational combination of the two disciplines mentioned above, target therapy and immunotherapy, are expected to result in substantial gains for our patients. It is now possible to combine immunologic agents such as TIL, CpG, anti-CTLA4 Interferon alpha, Interleukin-II, anti-CD40, and anti-41BB. Notwithstanding, targeted therapeutic agents such as MEK and BRAF inhibitors have shown remarkable results for some patients. This is a very exciting time to be engaged in melanoma research.

Can Samsung Overtake Intel?
Samsung, fresh off its best first quarter ever, says it plans to double capital spending on chips to about $9.56 billion this year, roughly double rival Intel's budget.
The big spending plan, to be financed by cash generated from operations, sends a strong signal to the market that Samsung, South Korea's biggest company by market capitalization, is serious about gaining market-share.
It further illustrates that technology companies are rebounding amid improving demand for electronic products such as cellphones, PCs and televisions. Samsung is the world's biggest supplier of memory chips, flat-screen TVs and the world's second-largest cellphone maker by volume, after Nokia.
Tech companies typically boost capital spending when market conditions are good and pare back when demand is weak. Part of Samsung's spending will be used to build new production lines to make memory chips such as dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, used in PCs, and NAND flash memory used in Apple's iPods and digital cameras. The move will allow Samsung to continue to dominate these segments as the world's biggest supplier of memory chips this year. And it just may be enough to overtake Intel, currently the world's biggest maker of chips.
But Samsung needs to make sure that it isn't a victim of its own success. If its new plants are churning out more chips, and rivals follow suit to maintain their share of the market, another oversupply in the chip industry could be looming. That would hurt everyone's profitability. Samsung operates in cyclical industries and with unstable market conditions in Europe, it isn't clear yet whether current demand will be sustainable over the long run.
Readers: What do you think of Samsung's aggressive budget? Will it be enough to overtake Intel?

Q Left-sided inguinal exploratory surgery in a 5-year-old boy for a unilateral undescended testis demonstrated a normal vas deferens just beneath the external oblique fascia. The vas terminated in a 1.2-cm fibrous nodule located just outside the external ring. The nodule was excised, and histologic study showed portions of the vas deferens and hyalinized tissue with dystrophic calcification and without definable organoid structures. Now, 25 years later, the patient is healthy and has a normal testis palpable in the opposite side of the scrotum. Can it be assumed that the structure at the end of the vas was a maldeveloped testis? Is it possible that the actual testis remains undetected in the retroperitoneum, and therefore poses an increased risk for the development of a malignancy? If so, would imaging studies be helpful in searching for an undescended testis?

The Hidden Pleasures of Busywork
Rote tasks—mindless at-work activities such as surfing the Web or deleting the inbox—may sound a bit mind-numbing. But new research has found that people are actually happiest on the job doing unchallenging assignments.
The study, led by Gloria Mark at the University of California, Irvine along with colleagues at Microsoft Research, examined how employees' mood and attention change when performing various activities at work, such as responding to email or checking Facebook.
"With rote work, you get a feeling of accomplishment, but you haven't exerted a lot of mental activity," says Dr. Mark. "It gives you a feeling of fulfillment, but there's not frustration or stress."
The researchers' findings provide a picture of how boredom and focus change throughout the day—and what digital tasks make workers happiest.
Focus, they found, peaks in the mid-afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. and also rises in late morning, around 11 a.m., after workers have time to gear up. (After 3, however, workplace focus drops precipitously.) Meanwhile, people are most bored early in the afternoon, soon after lunch—and not surprisingly, on Mondays.
"It takes time to ramp up and get into a focused and productive state," says Dr. Mark. "You don't hit the ground running."
Although the sample was small—just 32 Microsoft workers in a wide range of job titles—the researchers studied them intensely, collecting more than 1,500 hours of observational data and 91,000 data points about mood and attention. Participants were regularly prompted by pop-up questionnaires on their work screens day asking them to report how engaged and challenged they were by the task they were doing at that moment.
Workers may say they want a challenge, but the researchers found that employees were actually less happy doing work they rated as difficult, involving a lot of attention and engagement, such as reading and responding to emails.
"Focus involves a kind of stress and people aren't generally happy when they are stressed," says Dr. Mark. By contrast, "rote work is effortless, so you can get gratification for getting things done."
Another mood booster? Facebook. The researchers found that occasionally "grazing" the social network seemed to provide a refreshing break for workers, boosting their happiness. Unlike responding to email or chit-chatting with colleagues, making a quick trip to Facebook doesn't require much focus or stress, Dr. Mark says.
The research will be presented at a panel on workplace distraction at the SXSW Interactive conference on Saturday, and is forthcoming for publication in April at the Proceedings of the Computer-Human Interaction Conference 2014.

I'm Mercutio. I'm Romeo's BFF and I never back down from a fight. And you know what I think?
Nay, if thy wits run the wild-goose chase, I have
done, for thou hast more of the wild-goose in one of
thy wits than, I am sure, I have in my whole five:
was I with you there for the goose? (2.4.70-73)
Who Said It and Where
This quote comes smack dab in the middle of a couple of fellas talking trash and telling some of the dirtiest jokes in Western literature. You know, just a few bros chillin' together. Those bros just happen to be Mercutio, Romeo, and Benvolio from Romeo and Juliet.
The three guys of the Montague posse never miss an opportunity to mock the Capulets—or each other. They begin by taking a dig at Tybalt, and then move on ribbing each other. Without ever really announcing it, the guys have a joking match see who can outwit the other.
Mercutio says if the jokes are just going to run wild to any topic, he's done. Romeo is better at joking than he is anyway, and he'll lose, he claims. Romeo says Mercutio is really only good for jokes. He can't do anything else.
But don't worry, this is all in good fun. The whole exchange is downright hilarious to them and the audience for that matter.

Southwestern Ontario??
Anyone near Windsor? I'd love to start a group here!
Wow, weird coincidence! My first time checking out this part of the forum and sure enough, I am indeed from Windsor!
Hello! :hug:
Very cool! how long have you been knitting? I've been for about 3 years but really got hooked this year. I swear, I have dreams of yarn! my husband thinks I'm nuts. I guess he could be right when I say I want to figure out how to knit and drive! so much wasted time!
haha, I have been knitting only since September (i think that's when I started) learned everything from Amy's videos and I am beyond hooked. I have dreams of knitting all the time, so many times I wake up half asleep doing the motions of knitting and then I search the bed for my yarn till my boyfriend tells me to go back to sleep.
If we are nuts, I really don't mind.
Hi Ladies
Iam located in London, Ontario. :)
I haven't met anyone on here even remotly close to me..:)
Laura, I also live in London, Ontario. I learned to knit when I still lived in Vancouver, BC. I go to London Yarns in Hyde park for most of my yarn and I have also taken several classes there. Last week I attended a class on Blocking which was *excellent* and well worth the money!
Krystal and Furley - what are the yarn shops like in Windsor? I will be travelling through there in another month or so. Is there a a store well worth dropping in at?
I'm from just outside of Windsor (20 -30min) and I actually JUST started knitting yesterday lol. I can do straight rows, and lots of em lol, but that's about it for now
ahh sorry for the late reply... But I found this thread again.... woot.

Arsene Wenger could halt his search for a new holding midfielder after hinting that Jack Wilshere may be the one selected to fill the role, Mirror reports.
Despite his efforts to sign Sami Khedira and Lars Bender, it looks as though the 64-year-old manager could turn to the England star to take over from his two previous anchormen, Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini.
The choice to move Wilshere further back will open up more room for his already star-studded midfield in his efforts to provide adequate playing time to all his players.
WANT MORE? >> Arsenal Transfer News | Latest Transfer News
In addition, if the 22-year-old can prove himself, he could also be selected to replace Steven Gerrard with a more permanent role in the England national team after the Liverpool captain announced his retirement from international football.
It may seem that Wenger could once again be in the market for another striker or defender if he finally decides he will not need to bring in another midfielder.
The squad boasts the likes of Aarom Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky, Mesut Ozil, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Abou Diaby all competing with one another for a place in the middle of the park.
If Wenger could read this I beg he do. We won't forgive him should he not sign a tough skilled defending midfielder. In fact people say we didnt win because of less sharp strikers but I say we lost the trophy because of the 4 humiliating defeats by Chelsea,Liverpool,Man City and Everton and all these were due to problems with the defending midfield where Arteta could not cope up. We need at least 2 strong and skilled defending midfielders. Let him not think of Selling or sending Joel Campbell on loan the guy is ripe for premier league debut.
I totally disagree with the previous comments. If you think about it is Khedira really that much better than Wilshere, and if you look at our squad of midfielders we just have too many to fit the spaces. Jack is skilful, excellent in possession, a tenacious tackler and works hard. His main problem has been fitness, where he is always having his ankles kicked as he engages opponents, playing deeper will mitigate these contacts. He is going to have to learn at the coal face and will make mistakes, but this could be Wenger's genius at work
Arsenal winning the league hahahaha. And yes I'm an arsenal fan believe it or not. Through and through. But unless wenger signs proper defensive midfielder not waste Wilshire skills defending then we have no chance. Why can't we spend the 50 million needed to get Vidal or even pogba then we will be title contenders. Bargain buys for a so called big club will not cut it. Yes Sanchez is a good buy but I would have spent on Vidal pogba or khedira. That's what we needed the most. Come city United Liverpool and Chelsea arsenal fans expect the same as last year.

The Lady Bulldogs return two players from last year's 11-13 team and must find a way to replace five stalwarts, three of which were all-region players and four-year starters, leading Sikeston to its best record ever two years ago at 16-5.
But even with all the new faces, coach Tiffany King expects weekly improvement from his squad.
"We lost a lot of players from last year," said King. "We're going to have a young team, but I'm optimistic about these girls because they've been working really hard and they're improving each day. We talked about taking the small steps to get to the large step and they've done that."
Third baseman Kaitlyn Turnbow, a junior who played outfield last year, returns as one of two players with the most experience.
Also returning from last year is the lone senior on the team, catcher Kaycie Williams.
King expects both girls to step up as the leaders of the team.
"The girls that have returned have shown to be true leaders and they are really pumped up about this year," said King. "I am looking for those two to lead the team as well as some of my returning jayvee girls. Kaycie will be a strong contributor behind the plate.
"She has really stepped into that leader spot, being the only senior, as well as Kaitlyn. She's surprised me in some ways because she's really stepped up to be the leader that all the girls need at this point."
King also has high hopes for her new second baseman, junior Katie DeLaRosa, who is out for the team for the first time.
"I look for Katie DeLaRosa to help us out," said King. "She came out for the first time after being a cheerleader and I think she's going to have a positive role. She'll be one of the strongest baserunners that we have on the team."
Junior Kristin Alcorn will be the team's usual pitcher. If she can't go, King will turn to freshman Mara Krokstrom.
"Krokstrom will see some varsity time and she'll work up to where she needs to be," said King. "Both pitchers are being consistent. They're working hard and getting better. Last year they weren't asked to do very much so we've still got some work to do."
In addition to Krokstrom, King will have few other freshmen dotting the lineup, including first baseman Kelsie Cooper and shortstop Mary Deason.
In the outfield, junior Hannah Eilders will get the nod in centerfield. Others vying for a position in the outfield are juniors Loren Stokes and Cora Burnett and freshmen Lindsey Rofkahr and Krokstrom.
King hasn't gotten a grasp yet on what kind of team she will have, whether it be a power hitting team or a speedy team.
"We're really not sure what our identity will be," said King. "We do have some speed on the team and our bats are coming around. But you've got to have defense before you can do offense.
"We're getting there. Some of our strengths are they are willing to learn, they're willing to work and they are so positive. I've never had a team that has been so positive on the field before. They're always positive and ready to learn."
Sikeston will open the season on Monday when they host Farmington at 4:30 p.m.
The Lady Bulldogs will hit the ground running as they have five games scheduled in August with the Notre Dame Tournament Aug. 31-Sept. 2.
"Overall I think this season is going to be a great experience for the girls," said King. "We're going to find success as we travel down the road. I have expectations out of all the girls either in leading or with their bat or with defense. I look for some of our upcoming freshmen to do very well.
"We're very young. Every team goes through young stages and eventually we'll get through this stage. This year we might have some struggles and obstacles but overall I think they are going to succeed and they will contribute eventually."

SMU track athlete died from heart problem, according to Dallas County Medical Examiner's office
Southern Methodist University student-athlete Hannah Moss died from natural causes in March, according to the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office. Her cause of death was cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat.
Moss, 20, a track athlete from Austin, was found dead in her off-campus Dallas apartment on March 18, according to a statement from SMU spokesman Kent Best. She was a sophomore communications major at SMU. University officials emailed students in March, telling them of Moss' death.
Moss competed in sprint events for SMU's track and field team. In February, she and her teammates placed third in the women's distance relay event at the American Athletic Conference indoor track and field championships in New York City.

Free Report! "7 Secrets YOU Need to Know When Buying Specialty Tires"
With their ever increasing ruggedness and ability for special attachments, skid steer loaders have become one the most important pieces of equipment in the industry. Their versatility is second to none when it comes to excavation, demoliton, farming, construction, recycling and landscaping. As skid steer machines capabilities have increased, so have the demands of Skid Steer Tires. Todays machine operators are more likely to prefer skid steer tires that are "purpose-built" with tread designs that are "application-specific". At Ken Jones Tires we stock a huge selection of purpose built skid steer tires with specific tread designs that will improve machine performance and reduce cost per hour. Skid steer tires basically break down into a few distinct categories. Hard Surface skid steer tires are designed for exceptional wear in hard surface applications such as concrete and pavement. Severe Service skid steer tires are designed with a super deep tread with cut and chunk resistant tread compounds.This tire performs well in extreme job sites such as rock, gravel, demolition, scrap yards and glass plants. Heavy Duty skid steer tires are premium tires that are constructed with a rim guard and extra thick sidewall bar to help protect against rim damage and sidewall punctures. Combining higher ply ratings, traction, long life and quality, these tires are ideal for applications such as general construction, skid loader rentals, snow removal, landscaping and farming. Standard Duty skid loader tires are more economically priced and are used for light landscaping duties and other mild service applications.
So, if you have an application question or just need a little advise, PLEASE contact us....we'll help you find the perfect tire fitment.
The leader in Specialty Tires and Tire Chains Market for over 70 years.

Weather Journal: Cooler but Far From Cold
Wednesday will be the coolest day of the week across Greater New York, but that doesn't mean it will be cold.
Make no mistake, temperatures across the region will plummet in comparison to the Monday's sweltering heat. Wednesday will be about 30 degrees cooler in some places. Forecasted highs in the mid-60s are almost exactly average for mid- to late-April in New York City. If anything, we'll remain a degree or two warmer than normal. After this "cold" snap, temperatures will stabilize around 70 degrees for a nice conclusion to a rollercoaster weather week.
The cold front responsible for this abrupt shift is now well offshore, with dry, stable, higher-pressure air firmly in control over the Great Lakes. Added together, that means north winds will keep humidity levels low and fire danger high for at least the next day or so across the tri-state. (Worth noting: Two Long Island Rail Road trains were cancelled Tuesday out of caution after a small brush fire his a remote part of eastern Suffolk County.)
Although no severe storms emerged as a result of the cold-front passage Tuesday, the elevated storm chances served as a signal that Greater New York's storm season is about to begin. The National Weather Service will hold a storm-spotter training in Brooklyn on Wednesday night at the city's Office of Emergency Management, for those who want to get involved.
Wednesday's Greater New York forecast roundup:

Google's Top Search Terms Go International
- Dec 19, 2006 5:16 PM EST
- [num] Comments
Wanna play the demography game? Here's how you play: Look at Yahoo's top search terms of 2006 (Britney, WWE, Shakira, Jessica Simpson, etc) and compare them to Google's, which were just announced. The differences between Google users and Yahoo users must be starker than we thought, because there's literally zero overlap. Not even one term appears on both lists, and Google's skew much more international, with "bebo" at the top (a social-networking site which is huge in Europe but not so much stateside), followed by "myspace," "world cup," and "metacafe," an Israeli video-sharing site. We'll post the full list after the jump, and we think you'll be surprised.Here's what Google's reporting as the top search terms of 2006:
1. bebo
2. myspace
3. world cup
4. metacafe
5. radioblog
6. wikipedia
7. video
8. rebelde
9. mininova
10. wiki
Of the top 10, bebo, MySpace, MetaCafe, and Rebelde (a Mexican telenovela and spin-off pop album) are bigger overseas, and three of those are in the top 5. If you look over on the Sports tab of Google's Zeitgeist page, you'll see that the Super Bowl, Olympics, and World Series results combined are close to just half of what Google got for World Cup. Yahoo's results, of course, are red, white, and blue through and through (and mostly blonde and/or busty). Draw your own conclusions.

Baseball Hall of Famer Wee Willie Keeler once offered the sound of advice of "hit 'em where they ain't." Ledyard Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Mike Cherry joked Tuesday about a strategy to boost voter turnout that would amount of a variation on Keeler.
Reflecting on the 10 percent turnout in Tuesday's referendum that approved a budget containing the first municipal tax hike in four years plus a new $6.75 million police station that Mayor John Rodolico thinks can be built for less, Cherry was wistful for former Town Council Chairman Sean Sullivan. In 2010, Sullivan, then a regular town councilor who today mans an important post nuclear post in the Obama Administration, succeeded in putting a non-binding question before voters on whether or not the Gales Ferry Library should be closed. That brought out the voters, particularly in the Gales Ferry section of town, where Sullivan happened to live, Cherry noted.
"That got people interested. I think we should propose that a sewer plant be put in some residential neighborhood. That way we'd get people to come out. Of course, we wouldn't do that...," Cherry said with a grin.
Such a move would alter Keeler's dictum to "when they ain't coming out, hit 'em."

There's no mistaking Murphy Ltd's fleet of machines in their striking livery and there's no mistaking the fact that their latest batch of thirty one mini excavators are from Volvo Construction Equipment.
Since 1957, Murphy Ltd of Tottenham Hale, London N17 has specialised as a utility services supplier and in particular as a major contractor to the U.K.'s electricity companies, cable manufacturers, petro chemical companies and the rail industry. With an ever increasing portfolio of contracts and customers, the company has augmented its fleet of compact excavators with thirty one new Volvos, twenty one of which being Volvo EC17Cs (1.7 tonnes), along with four ECR88 Plus excavators (8.8 tonnes), a brace of EC20Cs and EC27s, an EC55C and an ECR38 short swing radius machine. The new arrivals are both replacement for some of the older units but overall are incremental to Murphy's fleet and have been supplied by Volvo's utility dealer for the Home Counties – Capital Pant Solutions.
"We choose the Volvo product in particular as they prove to be highly popular with our operating gangs," comments Plant and Transport Director Michael Hayes. "We've been operating Volvo's for sixteen years now and we can definitely state that the machines have more power and a superior reach over competitive makes and we certainly enjoy the back up and support we receive from Capital Plant Solutions and Volvo nationally," he continued. This is particularly important to Murphy Ltd who has major contracts across the whole of the UK and although the company carries out its own maintenance programmes from its eight regional depots across the country, the knowledge that they can draw support from any of Volvo's customer support centres and thirteen independent utility dealers is a definite plus.
All the latest machines have been supplied with cabs, full sets of buckets and to complete the package, each unit has been fitted with a security key pad and tracking device. Additional safety features have been added to safeguard the operator as well as personnel working in the immediate vicinity of the machine and these included seat belt warning and added visibility aids. Most of the new arrivals will be deployed on contracts underway in Yorkshire and Cumbria. And as for that striking livery? Michael Hayes comments; "We've been applying this livery to all of our mobile plant now for the last seven and a half years with the original aim of deterring theft and it's certainly paid off."
Capital Plant Solutions is Volvo's independent utility equipment dealer covering Essex, North London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
Volvo Construction Equipment Division markets wheeled loaders, articulated haulers, hydraulic excavators, graders, Volvo utility and road machinery products in the U.K. There are eight strategically placed customer support centres and a network of utility compact equipment dealers to ensure high quality customer support is maintained throughout Great Britain.

Rev. Jerry Moore, Sr. places a rose on the coffin containing baby Marcieann Saturday, July 28, beside the coffins of twin boys. The Garden of Innocence project buried three more children Saturday, bringing the total to 136 babies memorialized in a small cemetery plot at El Camino Memorial Cemetery. Garden of Innocence was started in San Diego by Elissa Davey in 1999 to give a full burial for babies who were abandoned by their parents after they died.

Flippers the Cat Gets New Set of Wheels instead of Euthanasia
Flippers the Cat won't be going to the Rainbow Bridge anytime soon, thanks to a high school robotics club.
The nine-month-old cat was born with a spinal cord defect in which her spine was twisted like a piece of rope, leaving her back legs partially paralyzed.
Flippers was brought to the Aspen Park Veterinary Hospital in Colorado. Kittens with similar injuries are often euthanized, but the vet hospital decided to enlist help from an unlikely source: the Robotics Club at Conifer High School.
Using a computer-assisted drawing program, the students created 3-D images of how a kitty wheelchair might work. A few prototypes later, they completed a design with two wheels, a harness and duct tape that looks like something straight out of There, I Fixed It.
It was zoom zoom zoom for Flippers the minute she got her wheels.
Now she wears the harness for a couple of hours a day and races around the clinic until she's out of breath. Still getting a feel for the wheels, her only problem is when she cuts corners a little too fast and close, which sends her sliding.
She helps power the harness by kicking her legs. The vets say this will increase her mobility and strength and they are hopeful that in turn, her spine will loosen up and she'll be able to walk on her own.
In the meantime, she jets around the office in her FURRari. The office has adopted Flipper while she undergoes her rehabilitation.

- Flipper the cat gets a new set of wheels (tension breaker story and video) | January 26, 2013
This is SO cool! We just commented on another blog today about how we hoped more high school robotics teams would help out needy animals like this – and here we find another! COOL!!
Love those nifty wheels, but like the furry ear tufts even more! Go Flipper, go!
Great story. So glad folks cared about Flippers and are helping her.
Pawsome article!!I am so happy for Flipper!
I'm so glad to see stories like this. I had to share it on Facebook.
how cool – a kitty saved and high school kids that made it happen!!!
