Review quote
My medical physiology course is extremely intense and there is no time to read all of the assigned reading in the textbook. Thanks to this pocket version of the text I am able to review chapters in half the time. I also recommend the textbook which provides detail description of figures that may not be covered in the pocket companion. Pretty good text and a must for serious advanced physiology students who are headed toward medical or advanced nursing/PA degrees. It helps to simplify and consolidate the immense amount of minute and detailed info stocked up in the big text. I wish many other books with complex topics had a pocket companion comparable to this one. If the topic is important to your success, then having the pocket companion is indispensable. I see the pocket companion as the architect's view (high level design) of physiology and the first step to learning. Depending on interest and time, you can selectively drill down into the textbook to explain topics of greater importance to you. If a particular topic is not that important you can just read the companion. I have already swept through many chapters and when I hit a chapter I wanted to understand in more detail, such as sports physiology, I went off and read the entire textbook chapter. When other chapters have more detail then I need I stick with the companion. Count yourself lucky to have this pocket companion as a first "cut" to the knowledge in the textbook, it will help immensely during the absorption and after for the quick and convenient recall. I have been using this book, along with the 'Big Daddy' version for preparation for my surgical primary exams. In summary, it's gold. No, it won't tell you everything that the big book does, and certainly not as much detail as thicker texts like Ganong, but I think that is the real benefit of it. ALL IT HAS IS THE BASIC FACTS, and that is all you need to grasp the concepts and therefore answer most questions. If you are looking for a high distinction on your exams, then take a month off work and read Ganong. If you have less than a week and are trying just to pass, then 'Baby Guyton' is gold. Five stars.show more

|Port Clinton, OH
Description: Despite early doubts about the necessity of a lighthouse at Port Clinton, the area has been home to several diverse structures, which have served to mark the entrance to Portage River from Lake Erie, and now the surviving structures are treasured landmarks for Port Clintonites.
In 1827, a group of Scotsmen shipwrecked near Port Clinton. Rather than continue on to their destination of Chicago, they remained at Port Clinton and quickly developed a fishing trade. Germans soon joined the Scots, and by the early 1830s, Port Clinton had become a fishing center with fish sheds sprinkled all along the Portage River estuary.
In October 1832, the government purchased acreage on the east side of the mouth of Portage River from Ezekiel and Charlotte Haines for lighthouse purposes. Two months later, Levi Johnson, a respected contractor from Cleveland, was commissioned to build a lighthouse on the property. In this first incarnation, Port Clinton Lighthouse was a round, pyramidal tower, constructed of split-stone. The lighthouse stood forty feet tall and used an array of eight lamps backed by reflectors to project a beam of light ten miles out over the lake. Johnson was also responsible for the single-story, twenty by thirty-four foot, stone keepers residence erected near the tower. Portage River ran within 100 feet of the lighthouse buildings before emptying into the lake at present-day Fulton Street.
After inspecting lighthouses on Lake Erie in 1838, Lieutenant Charles T. Platt wrote the following.
Port-Clinton light-house is lighted with eight lamps, and as many bright reflectors; every thing in good order, with the exception of the chimneys, which are too short, not reaching above the scallops of the reflectors. With the above exception, every thing appertaining to both the lighthouse and the dwelling is without fault.
In 1843, Stephen Pleasonton, who was in charge of the countrys lighthouses, also recommended the lighthouse be discontinued as not more than one or two vessels enter the port in the course of a year. Reports like this started an on-going debate over the usefulness of the lighthouse, but it remained active for several more years. In 1846, six new oil lamps were placed in the lantern room. By 1854, this number had been reduced to four, and in 1855 a sixth-order Fresnel lens was installed.
George O. Momeny was appointed keeper in 1853 on the recommendation of General J.A. Jones and others of the Democratic Party. After six years of service, Momeny resigned and was honorably discharged from his duties.
The Lighthouse Board discontinued the light in 1859, but then had it reactivated on August 1, 1864, with Leander Porter as the keeper. In 1870, the old Port Clinton Lighthouse was discontinued for good, and the lantern room was removed from the stone tower.
Residents of Port Clinton were not happy with the change. An article in the Ottawa Union in November 1870 argued that the only port in the district with as many entrances and clearances as Port Clinton was Sandusky. Apparently, a Commodore Scott, an old salter, had claimed that nothing but a few sand pans used the light of Port Clinton, leading to the discontinuance of the light. The article in the Union stressed that seven steamers, besides scows and schooners, plied the waters of Portage River day and night. As a compromise, the article even proposed that the lighthouse be donated to the town, which would then use entrance and clearance fees to maintain the lighthouse.
Piers were extended into Lake Erie from either side of Portage River in 1883, and an act approved on February 15, 1895 authorized the establishment of a pierhead light to mark the harbor. A square, wooden, pyramidal tower, surmounted by an octagonal lantern encircled by a balcony and hand rail, was erected atop piles at the outer end of the west pier in 1896. A 180° lens lantern, fitted with ruby chimneys, was used in the lantern room to produce a fixed red light at a focal plane of twenty-five feet, eight inches. The light went into service on July 15, 1896, with the keeper living in the original dwelling.
Peter and Mary Hineline were the last caretakers of the dwelling, and Robert Waterfield, their son-in-law, was appointed the first keeper of the new pierhead light. In August 1899, Waterfield and his assistant razed the remains of the old, split-stone tower. The stone was removed by the government steamer, Warrington and was taken by scow to Detroit River where it was used to protect the beach in front of Grassy Island Lighthouse. The Elmore Independent, dated August 18, 1899, expressed regret at the destruction of the old landmark, which had withstood the weather for many years and was reportedly just as solid in 1899 as the day it was first built. When the demolition work was done, no trace of the old tower remained its service was remembered only in the minds of a few old timers.
In 1899, the Lighthouse Board described the stone dwelling as unsightly, uncomfortable, and unhealthful, and unfit for human habitation and requested $3,000 for a new residence. In 1901, the old dwelling was taken down, and a two-story, frame home was built for the keeper. The structure was equipped with a hot-air furnace and connected to the local water supply and sewer. Some twenty-one fruit and shade trees were planted on the lighthouse lot, and the keeper was given fifteen pounds of lawn seed to sow. In 1902, a boathouse was built for the keeper, who had to row across the river and out to the west pier as the keepers dwelling was on the east shore. An iron oil house was placed on the pier near the tower in 1905.
George Pope, who served as keeper of the light from 1900 until his death in 1911, was noted for making his regular trips to the lighthouse at end of the pier even when the lake and river were frozen. David Sutherland succeeded Pope and served at Port Clinton until March 1926, when he was transferred to Toledo to care for the Manhattan Range lights. Sutherlands son, Wallace, looked after Port Clinton Lighthouse for a few months until electricity was substituted for the oil burners and the light was automated. Clarence Perry subsequently served as a custodian of the light for many years.
In November 1952, the wooden Port Clinton lighthouse was removed from the breakwater by Dave Jeremy and relocated to his marina on Portage River. At the time the 1896 lighthouse was removed from the west pier in 1952, a fifth-order Fresnel lens was in use, but the replacement structure, a white skeletal tower with a small house at its base, employed a 375 mm lens.
In 2011, the owners of the marina, now known as Brands Marina, donated the lighthouse to Port Clinton so it could be refurbished and displayed on city property, with the hopes of attracting more visitors to the downtown area. Under the direction of Port Clinton Lighthouse Conservancy, the lantern room was relocated to a Catawba Island Township workshop on November 7, 2011 using a crane provided by Focht Construction.
Restoration plans for the lighthouse hit a snag when the city and Port Clinton Lighthouse Conservancy couldnt agree on exactly where the tower should be relocated. The conservancy wanted the lighthouse to be placed in Waterworks Park, near the rivers mouth, while the city preferred it be located farther from the waterfront. We believe that the full restoration of the lighthouse and its placement on the waterfront will do more than preserve a vital piece of local history for future generations, wrote Richard Norgard, president of the conservancy. It will also serve as an unparalleled attraction for visitors from far and wide, and help fuel the citys economy into the foreseeable future.
After the conservancy had raised $13,000 of the expected $30,000 need to restore the lighthouse, it held a public meeting in January 2013 to rally support for its desire to place the lighthouse in Waterworks Park. The conservancys persistence worked, and in September 2013, it received approval to place the restored lighthouse in Water Works Park, north of Derby Pond. The base of the lighthouse was moved indoors in June 2013 for restoration work, and in August 2014, Port Clinton Lighthouse Convservancy announced the restoration was complete.
The conservancy hoped to have the lighthouse placed in Waterworks Park in 2014, but a protracted battle broke out over wording in the contract that had to be signed by the city and the conservancy. The citys contract contained an opt-out clause that allowed the city to terminate the agreement when public necessity requires the use of the license area by the city. Richard Norgard, president of the conservancy, considered this provision a slap in the face to the volunteers who had restored the lighthouse and demanded the contract be changed. The lighthouse is meant to be permanent, he said. Its a symbol of pride in the community, and everyone wants to see it come back. We want an agreement that reflects that spirit.
The disagreement received much press and caused a few heated meetings, but the two sides finally worked out a compromise on July 14, 2015. The city delayed the opt-out clause, which is common in its contracts, for ten years in this case, and the conservancy agreed that lack of funding needed to maintain the lighthouse would be considered a breach of the contract. After the agreement was reached, Darrel Brand, owner of Brands Marina, signed ownership of the lighthouse over to the conservancy.
A formal signing ceremony was held on April 14, 2016, at which Dalton Brand of Brands Marina made the following statement:
Brands Marina is extremely proud to not only be in the position to donate this lighthouse to the Port Clinton Lighthouse Conservancy and to the citizens of Port Clinton, but to also be able to facilitate its restoration in conjunction with all the skilled volunteers that worked tirelessly to restore it to its original beauty. While we truly believe that this is an important piece of our communitys maritime heritage whose benefits will probably exceed the expectations of even those directly involved in its final return to the shoreline, we think it's even more important for the citizens of this community to recognize, as they drive by it each day, that this lighthouse is a monument to what can be achieved when we come together out of selflessness and love of community; the power that can be unleashed when people care enough to roll up their sleeves and do something for a greater good and to the benefit of everyone. From the original foresight of the Jeremys, who saved it from destruction a half century ago to the final strokes of paint on its shutters, this represents not only where we came from as a city but what we can be.On the morning of August 16, 2016, a crane placed the restored lighthouse onto a barge, which was used to transport it down the Portage River to the northern end of Waterworks Park. The crane then lifted the lighthouse from the barge and placed it on a flatbed trailer for delivery to the prepared concrete foundation, several hundred yards to the east. As a large crowd watched, the crane finally transferred the lighthouse from the trailer to its new home overlooking Lake Erie.
The current structures marking the entrance to Portage River are a pair of flashing red and green entrance lights. The boathouse associated with Port Clinton Lighthouse stood near the baseball diamond in Waterworks Park for many years after being relocated there in the 1950s. When various plans to restore the structure fell through, city workers tore it down in 2010. An oil house used with the lighthouse reportedly still remains in the park.

Women in the Law Say Path Is Limited by 'Mommy Track'
By JENNIFER A. KINGSON
Published: August 8, 1988
Despite inroads made by women at the nation's top law firms, a new two-level system is emerging in the legal profession, with women on the bottom.
Although a growing number of prestigious firms offer flexible working hours, child care and lenient maternity leave, women who take advantage of them often find themselves left behind when it comes to partnerships, choice assignments and stature.
Intended to foster sexual equality, these measures also have created a new category of law firm associates who work with no prospects of advancement in what some lawyers call ''the mommy track.''
Women have jumped a major hurdle over the last decade by making a place for themselves in what had been a male-dominated profession. Debates over the problems of women are being waged in seminars and law journals around the country, and are being discussed now at the American Bar Association's annual meeting in Toronto.
This week, the bar association's 447-member House of Delegates will vote on a resolution condemning ''overt and subtle barriers'' to full sexual equality and calling upon the association's 346,000 members to ''refuse to participate in, acquiesce in or condone barriers to the full integration and equal participation of women.''
But the highest barriers, female lawyers agree, are the ones that cannot be legislated away. They are the traditional attitudes that reflect a double-edged sexism, attitudes that say a man must give everything to his career or be considered weak, and that a woman cannot give everything to her career and still be a good wife or mother. Considered Not Serious
Women who choose to put in fewer hours and spend more time with their families say they are considered less than serious by male colleagues.
Very few male lawyers request parental leaves. ''In our society and in the legal world, to take parental leave is wimp-like,'' said Alice E. Richmond, a partner at Hemenway & Barnes in Boston who has served as president of the Massachusetts Bar Association. ''The kind of toughness that is needed to be perceived as a go-getter lawyer is more harmed if a man takes parental leave than if a woman does.''
''I don't see how a woman with kids can compete,'' said Carol M. Finke, a sixth-year associate in tax law at Willkie Farr & Gallagher in New York whose husband, Richard, is a lawyer.
Ms. Finke, who often works 12-hour days and on weekends, nevertheless says there is ''no chance'' she will make partner. Even with two shifts of baby sitters, caring for her 8-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son takes too much time from her job for her to be in a partnership track, she said.
''You accept it because your kids are worth it,'' Ms. Finke said.
''We are beginning to have two-tier law firms,'' said Fern Sussman, executive director of the Association of the Bar in New York. ''The top tier is the full-time partnership track lawyer, who has all the perks and prestige, and the bottom tier is the part-time track, made up largely of women.'' 'Part Time' Is a Lot
Some firms are considering making the ''mommy track'' a formal option. At Weil, Gotshal & Manges in New York, a committee of associates and partners is studying whether to establish a track for associates who do not yearn to be partners.
Ira Millstein, the firm's managing partner, said women at the firm have arranged part-time options in the last five years, but only those who work full time can become partners.
And the legal profession has its own definition of ''part-time'' work. At some of the largest and most competitive firms, mainly in New York, Washington, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles, ''part-time'' hours are 9 to 5, five days a week. Full-time work may mean being on call around the clock.
More often then not, associates in the biggest firms are told explicitly that they will not become partners if they decide to work part time. Those who choose to work part time for only a year or two while their children are young will have a better chance, but will certainly delay their promotions. What Keeps People Going
Vicki M. Davis, a sixth-year associate at Debevoise & Plimpton who has two small children, began working four days a week at the New York firm three years ago. ''A lot of what keeps people doing this is the promise of partnership, and once you take that away it gets to be demoralizing,'' she said.
Part of the problem for women is that the average number of annual hours billed by lawyers - not a total reflection of the time they actually devote to their profession - has risen substantially, from about 1,700 several years ago to 2,300 to 2,500 today, according to Ms. Sussman.
The pressures on women seeking to advance careers during child-bearing years are strong in many professions, but lawyers say the demands are greater in theirs, since partnership is linked to the number of hours logged.
For lawyers not in the top firms, time pressures are less extreme and the two-tier caste system is less evident. According to figures published in February by The National Law Journal, a survey of the top 250 firms shows that women are eight percent of partners and 33 percent of associates.

I am not sure. You may be our first in this group. I've read up on it on the internet (why I didn't respond right away). It sounds both grim and promising.
I would suggest trying some of the links in the Welcome message. There are some websites like BeNotAfraid that might have someone who is faced with a similar diagnosis!
We are here for you, either way. It sounds very scary to be facing. Thinking of you!

I'm so sorry to hear this. But glad you've found our group. I don't know of anybody who has had a baby with this condition, but I hope you're able to find other mamas to connect with. We are here for you. You're in my prayers.
Beth, mom to Aidan 4-24-08, ^^Evan^^ 4-6-10, and Zoey 6-21-11
My daughter has caudal regression syndrome. She wasn't diagnosed until 12 months so you are ahead of the game having this info in advance. I don't know alot of the terminology b/c we weren't given the actual name of the diagnosis until about 4 months ago. We found out through our urologist that she was missing 1 1/2 vertebrea and that she has a neurogenic bladder. I asked to see a neurologist and he gave me the actual name. Her nerves spread out at T12 instead of L1 which they say is the cause of her neurogenic bladder.
She was delayed in her walking (19 months) and at 25 months is still delayed but she walks/runs just starting to climb. She does have a vesicostomy http://www.aboutkidshealth.ca/HealthAZ/Vesicostomy.aspx?articleID=10282&categoryID= for the neurogenic bladder which has been a lifesaver for preventing UTIs and taking the pressure off her kidneys.
I hate to hear of a child with any birth defects!!!! However, I've never talked to anyone else that deals or will be dealing with this same defect. Most families dealing with alot of the same issues have children with Spinal Bifida.
We see the neurologist for the 2nd time again in December. I'm excited to see him b/c we've had a little time to let it sink in, do some research although I could be better and gather our thoughts and questions.
Maybe I have an answer or two for you but you are SO fortunate they know this prenatal and will be proactive after the birth.
Also, don't let it get you down....I have a beautiful bouncing 2yr old with all the attitude in the world. She isn't any different that the baby next door!!!!
Diana, mom to Aubrey 10/08

My son is 5 and was not diagnosed with Caudal Regression Syndrome until he was 3. In our situation his sacram didn't fully form which affected the nerves of his bowel and bladder. Upon his diagnosis, we had been talking with the urologist about surgery. However, his current urologist wants us to exhaust all other options first, saying that many children are successful the first couple years after having the Malone ACE procedure performed, but after a few years, they begin to have leakage. Because my son will be starting kindergarten next school year, we want him to be socially continent and have very recently started catheterizing. We are still tying to locate a supplier for cone enemas. My son is resistant to the catheterizing, although we have been somewhat successful when he doesn't fight me on the insertion. Any support/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

PORTRAITS OF GRIEF: THE VICTIMS; A Driver With Size 15 Boots, a Stealth Joker and a Spiritual Diner
These sketches were written by David W. Chen, Anthony DePalma, Jan Hoffman, Lynette Holloway, Nat Ives, Tina Kelley, Patrick McGeehan, Michelle O'Donnell and Lydia Polgreen.
Published: March 9, 2003
In September 2002, The New York Times ceased regular publication of Portraits of Grief, the sketches of those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center. Since then, however, some additional surviving families have chosen to provide information. These portraits are based on their recollections.
Big-Hearted Driver
Leon Smith Jr.'s boots just might be impossible to fill. He wore the only size 15's in the Fire Department, said his mother, Irene, and he had to have them specially made, once he had attained his dream of joining the department.
Mr. Smith, 48, was the chauffeur -- the driver -- for Ladder Company 118 in Brooklyn Heights. ''He would wash his rig every single day, and when he went off duty, he'd say, 'Listen, my baby better be clean.' '' Mrs. Smith said. ''He called that his girlfriend.''
An only child, Mr. Smith showed his compassionate side when he was just 7 or 8. His mother often took him to the zoo or a play, but just before departure time the doorbell would ring, and a few neighborhood children would be waiting to come along. They never got to go anywhere, he explained.
''He'd say, 'Oh, Mama, please let them come,' '' she said. ''I always made sure I had extra money and extra food.''
Mr. Smith, who had three daughters, was known for fixing the cars of his brothers in the firehouse, and those of their wives or girlfriends, even if the repairs came after a 24-hour shift. ''I can just see you up there in heaven, with St. Peter's car on the lift, telling him it will only be a couple more minutes,'' a friend, Paul Geoghegan, wrote on a Web site in his memory.
$450 Car for World Traveler
When John P. Lozowsky was told to mow the lawn when he was a child, the results were troubling, if creative, his sister Diane remembers. Using a big nail, he tethered a self-propelling mower to a cinder block, ''so he could lie back and sunbathe so the mower could do its job,'' she said.
At 45, he still had his own way of doing things. His Hawaiian shirts raised eyebrows where he worked as a contractor for Marsh & McLennan. Faced with a pay cut, he said, ''You know, we make too much money anyway; the money we make should be given to nurses and firemen and police,'' recalled Lynda Blake, an office friend. He biked to work from Queens and had a $450 car, which his son, niece and nephew helped paint, to travel between New York City and Skaneateles, where he spent long weekends.
He moved around a lot, having lived in New Zealand for 12 years, long enough to become a citizen. He called people ''mate'' and was laid-back in a Kiwi kind of way, said a co-worker, Michael Notabartolo.
Ms. Lozowsky said: ''You never knew when he would pop in or pop out, so his death is really distant. I've gone a year without seeing him, I've gone four years without seeing him, and it's like he's not even gone yet. For us he could be in New Zealand, or New York City, or Belfast. Some of us haven't yet started the process of missing and grieving.''
A Quiet Family Man
April Ginley knew she had a rare husband. If she was at work, Lt. John F. Ginley, a firefighter, managed the household, taking the dog to the vet or the children to the doctor. ''He was a very involved parent, as far as even putting the kids on the school bus and braiding my daughter's hair,'' she said. He helped out in the classroom when his daughter, Taylor, 10, and son, Connor, 8, were younger, and he dressed up as a goblin in the gym for Halloween.
One of five boys born within seven years, (four became firefighters) Lieutenant Ginley, 37, served as a mediator at times, but also perfected the stealth practical joke. ''Some of the stuff he did I probably still to this day didn't know that he did it,'' said his brother Capt. Bob Ginley. They were one grade apart in school, but ran track together, served in the National Guard together, joined the Fire Department together, studied for their lieutenant and captain exams together, and vacationed together.
John Ginley's reserve was part of what drew his wife to him when they met. ''He was not a person that was looking for recognition,'' she said. ''He was always the quiet one in the background.''
'He Was My Everything'
In 2000, Anna Ivantsov became a wife. In 2001, she became a widow. She was 20 years old. Fifteen months later, she spoke about her husband, Aleksandr Ivantsov:
''Aleksandr is Russian from a little place in Siberia called Abakan. He helped bring the Internet to Abakan. He found a job in New York through the Internet and worked at Cantor Fitzgerald as a computer programmer. His e-mail address was his nickname in Russian, Dobriy, which means a very nice person.
''For 23 years old, he was very mature. Before I came to New York, every day he would call me and tell me how he was getting ready for me. He was spending all his money calling me!
''We were all alone in the whole world here. There were two of us. Nothing else was needed.
''We loved dancing. We would take the ferry to Staten Island and go to dance clubs. If I get tired of dancing, he would take me in his arms. We were on our own; we could go anywhere and be independent. It was his character. He liked to be independent.

Review: 'Bunraku'
A pulp pastiche best enjoyed by those for whom movies can't be too much like comicbooks.
A pulp pastiche best enjoyed by those for whom movies can't be too much like comicbooks.
This collaboration kicks matters up a notch.
The home team shoots and misses with "Score."
A well-handled if unremarkable drama.
Fairly arresting feature debut for writer-helmer Roberto Garzelli.
Rogerio Correa makes a modest but effective feature writing-directing debut.
Pic charts a Norwegian woman's emotional breakdown after she discovers her husband is unfaithful.
The road from slums to soccer glory intersects with crime in Marcel Rasquin's engaging debut.
A competitive swimmer recalls his involvement with the girlfriend who's now gone missing.
A solid drama, mixing historical tragedy with intergenerational conflict.
"Oxygen" delivers a touching portrait of youth facing mortality far too soon.

Regular-Season Baseball Team Victories, Ranked
1. Win No. 1 (We're not going to lose all our games)
1. Win No. 1 (We're not going to lose all our games)
Adam Eidinger has gone right at City Hall, the Republican and Democratic Parties, the war machine, the World Bank, the DEA, countless developers, and, most famously, Major League Baseball. His fights tend to end with him getting his ass kicked—and not just figuratively.
There's nothing America loves more than a winner who has suffered and, Lord knows, the Pittsburgh Pirates have suffered. Twenty losing seasons in a row. The Pittsburgh drug trials. The cobbled-together public ownership that ended up $22 million in debt. Talented player after talented player leaving town as fast as he…
Welcome to opening day, that magical day when 30 hopeful fanbases celebrate the end of winter and the return of baseball for everyone. Except for those games in Australia last week. And the teams that played last night. And the teams that don't play until tomorrow.
If you enjoyed this photo of a puking Nats fan, you will definitely enjoy an entire gallery of debauchery from the Orioles' home opener.

Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the seats.
OK, this was a great bit of theatrics. Just as Magic was getting ready to throw the first pitch to Orel Hersheiser, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly came out to the mound and called for the lefty.
Man, that's a gorgeous swing.
Rejoice, baseball has returned! The first slate of games will be getting started in about ten minutes, so park yourself here and spend the day yakking with your fellow enthusiasts. You have the floor.
New Yorkers, don't forget to swing by the Opening Day watch party at Professor Thom's today. Details here.

Hey New Yorkers, what are you doing next Monday? Working? Not anymore! You're coming to Professor Thom's on 13th and 2nd avenue to watch baseball all day. The festivities will kick off at 1:00 p.m. in the private loft upstairs, and there will be plenty of drink specials, baseball, and good times for you to enjoy. …
Bryan Stow continues on his path to recovery following a vicious beating at Dodger Stadium that left him in a coma resulting in severe brain damage. The San Francisco Giants had hoped he would be able to attend Opening Day, but he remains in a care facility.

If you're not doing anything today, why not head out to Citi Field to catch the Mets' Opening Day game? At last check, there were several thousand decent seats still available. To make it even sweeter, if you go today, you'll get free tickets to another game this weekend.
1. Anglo-Zanzibar War (38 minutes)
2. Death and resurrection of Jesus (according to Bible) (36 hours)
3. October Revolution (2 days)
4. Bay of Pigs Invasion (3 days)
5. Operation Desert Fox (4 days)
6. The ground conflict of the Gulf War (4 days)
7. February Revolution (5 days)
8. Six-Day War (6 days)
9. Apollo 11…
Defying all odds, the Mets' prediction of a Johan Santana-pitched Opening Day at CitiField may actually come true. According to Adam Rubin, the Mets and Santana are confident enough to announce he will be the starting pitcher this Thursday.
Aw, don't feel bad that MLB gave you a Friday game to open the season. For example, it's slightly more acceptable to booze your way through the game. We're looking at you, Phillies fans.

Red Hat Third Quarter Exceeds Expectations
Linux undertaking Red Hat has recorded a 24.3 million dollar profit in the third quarter of 2008, bettering last year's numbers.
Red Hat sales rose 22% to 165 million dollars compared to the third quarter of 2007. Software subscriptions for the U.S. company increased over the same period by 17% to 135.5 million dollars. The results exceeded analysts' expectations, despite economic times, the company's acquisition of Qumranet and undesirable foreign exchange rates.
Jim Whitehurst, president and CEO as of a few months ago, was pleased with the results and was hopeful about the future. He said that IT purchasing decisions will undergo some extreme rethinking considering the financial crisis and that open source companies such as his have a better chance at weathering the storm with their "low cost, high value" software. Linux Magazine Online had the opportunity to interview the Red Hat chief early December in Munich.

I lived in only one other building prior to this time, when I moved out of that building I left a bill balance with Com Ed of about $300.00. I just didn't have the money to pay the bill at the time. My new roommate was fine with putting the bill in his name anyways.
So I'm moving into my current apt building this past April '08. My plan was to take my income tax money and pay off my 350 balance and put the electric in my name for the apt. The day before I was going to do this I recieved a com ed bill in my name for $1,500. This bill is from Oct'07-Apr'08. During this time frame I was paying an electric bill, it was just under my room mates name.
I had never once had a conversation with Com Ed prior to this bill. I had never signed up for their service at this apt building.
Two other men that live in my building recieved two similar bills prior to mine. They were both for the same amount, and they both had been resolved over the telephone. Neither gentlemen had to pay those bills.
I guess I feel that Com Ed has supplied electric to the building that was never paid for and now they are trying to stick the bill on whomever is ignorant enough to just accept. I told them flat out, I WILL NOT PAY THIS FRADUALENT BILL.
These are the things that strike me funny about all of this:
My electric bills have always been between $15-$35. But during this Oct'07-Apr'08 billing my monthly average would have been $350 a month. Yet since Apr'08 my electric bill is now at $25-$40 again.
Two other tenets got outrageous bills the two prior months before mine. Both were dismissed by just a telephone call. One of the tenet's recieved his bill after only his first month in the building for $1400.00. Hmmm?
I know for a fact that during my two years living in the building that people lived in our building for short periods and had never once had their electric turned on or off for that matter.
There were two broken Com Ed meters running to two units, one never moved and the other spun out of control. Both had the glass cover broken on them.
I've presented all of this info to Com Ed Customer Support and their supervisors on atleast 6 diffrent occasions. I was told in April that I would recieve a detailed statement for the bill in question. It's Sept and I've yet to recieve it. I've taken this issue to my landlord who's done zero to resolve it. Com Ed is asking me to jump through all of these hoops to resolve this, and the one question I have asked and yet to get an answer is, "How can you just put an electric bill in someone's name?"
I feel like my landlord knows that if he resolves this and I'm cleared that he knows that he'll be responsible for that balance.
I just don't know what to do, and not one person at Com Ed, my landlord, or the police will give me assistance.
Please help!

This marks the first time Hunter demorphs from his Spider Rider form.
Main Villian(s): Grasshop.
Venus: (About Hunter and Shadow) I've never seen partners like this before.
Corona: It's complicated! Hunter's always jumps in without looking, and Shadow tends to hold a grudge, Hunter eats way to much, and never stops talking, and Shadow is so selfish, he never admits he's wrong. They can't stand each other! But they'll probably end up best friends.
Hunter: Arachna pow-er!
Shadow: Arachna power!!
(During the battle)
Corona: Hunter! The first rule, remember.
Hunter: What gramps always said "whatever you do, never give up!" I will never give up! you hear?! I will never give up!
Hunter: (Trying to activate the Manacle) Transform! (nothing happens) Uh-oh! My manacle must need new batteries!
Grasshop: There is nothing I hate more then to be kept waiting. I have an antenna appointment that I do not wanna miss.
Corona: (About Hunter) Your not even quiet when your sleeping.
Hunter: (To Shadow) Can we take another ride?
Shadow: Ugh, what do I look like? A beast of burden?
Hunter: You got the beast part right.
Hunter: My gramps alway said "Hunter, just remember, never give up!".
Shadow: (To Corona) All I know is that this boy has a stolen Manacle, and no brains to speak of.
Hunter: (To Corona) So, do I wear this armor even when I'm sleeping?
Corona: Your kidding, right?

Hi everyone,
Lately with WP 3.0.1 the possibilities are limitless for creating custom content types. Im experimenting it with an on going project where they have "Services" section for which I created "Our Services" a custom content type.
Everything looks fine and works well until I try and access the posts under this CCT (Custom Content Type) like:
Usually this should by default show all the posts from this CCT ie. our-services, but it doesn't and pops out with Nothing found and the default search template. Something is wrong with the setup of CCT or this is an issue with WP...
Thanks in advance

I don't get 4 step where need to upload? or what need to do...?
Upload what? Step 4 of what?
Try to explain what are you doing and what is your issue.
I do Famous 5 minute install of wordpress. I've done first three steps and there is four step there says '' Upload everything'' . And I don't get it what need upload or what. Can help me to solve how to install this program because I really need this stuff.
Then the 5 minutes short instructions are not for you. See the "extended tutorial":
I think it's hard can you help me please be in the first page in google, i really need this. Can you help????
I helped you. If it is hard, then don't do it.
And just for the record: Installing WP has nothing to do with being on the first page in google. Don't mix things.
OK. No offense

Tracking the Coal Pipeline
This week, EII's CoalSwarm, together with the Sierra Club and Greenpeace, released the second annual report that estimates that taken together, all the proposed coal plants worldwide would cost nearly a trillion dollars to build. The report reveals that, while the coal industry continues to push for more coal-fired power plants, in reality, coal plants are increasingly sitting idle in all of the world's four largest markets, and global coal consumption is declining drastically. Read more about the report, which is based on CoalSwarm's Global Coal Plant Tracker and is available in English and Chinese, here.

Victory for the Spoonbills in Taiwan
In January, a Taiwanese court ordered the Kaohsiung city government to withdraw its proposal to build a road that would bisect Jiading Wetlands, an important winter home for the critically endangered black-faced spoonbill.This is a big victory for SAVE International – the Earth Island project and its collaborators in Taiwan and at the University of California, Berkeley have fought this proposal for several years. But the fight isn't over yet. In March, Kaohsiung City appealed the court's decision, and unfortunately, the number of spoonbills in Jiading dropped this year, presumably due to construction activities. Learn more about SAVE International's work to protect spoonbills here.

Stop complaining, Ralston. Victory Puffs is already more nutritious than Crax. At least it's more than just sugar in a box.
But doesn't the rabbit have Ralston Purina?
The other cereals are cornmeal and sugar, too. This one's just not assembled.
Part of the allure is that it assembles for you after you pout the milk.

Product Description
Build a working wind turbine to harness power out of thin air. Wind is one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy available today. Wind energy has been used for centuries to pump water and crush grain in windmills, and is now increasingly being used to generate electricity to power our modern world.
First, assemble a wind turbine complete with electric generator, adjustable rotors, and wind speed indicator. Then, conduct more than 20 experiments with your wind turbine, including experiments with different numbers of rotor blades, different blade angles and profiles, different wind speeds, different gear ratios, and so on. Use the wind turbine to generate mechanical power to lift a heavy weight or generate electricity to light up an LED and charge a rechargeable battery.
During the experiments, you will learn the physics of force and motion as it applies to wind power technology. Learn how to measure and calculate the different forces acting on the rotor blades by breaking them down into vectors. Discover how the sun makes the wind, providing us with an endless source of energy. Read about different types of wind turbines and windmills.
The full-color, 32-page experiment manual offers illustrated instructions and scientific information. Ages 8 and up.
• build a working wind turbine • harness mechanical energy to lift weights • generate electricity to light an LED and charge a battery • learn the physics of wind turbines • discover how wind occurs and why it is such a promising energy source
