Laura Branigan
One of the best bets in the Who-Will-Be-the-Next-Pat-Benatar Sweepstakes is this versatile vocalist from upstate New York. Once an aspiring actress, she was discovered by poet-singer Leonard Cohen, who hired her in 1977 to sing backup. Now 24, she is strong and fresh in her debut LP of nine songs. Half her tunes seem geared for a cabaret, and the rest are rock-palace specials. She's dandy, though, delivering sizzlers Gloria (not to be confused with Van Morrison's G-L-O-R-l-A), Living a Lie and Please Stay, Go Away. And she's equally facile with more subtle romantic songs like If You Loved Me. Most impressive is Branigan's I Wish I Could Be Alone, a tender two-timing tune.

The finishing.com Hotline: Serious Education ... plus the most fun you can have in metal finishing. Ted Mooney, Webmaster
Best plating on porous aluminum castings++++
Q. Hi Friends,
Can you please suggest the best plating that can be done on a porous die-cast aluminium part (Heat sink). It should withstand 72 hours of salt spray.Suman [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]
vendor development - Bangalaore, Karnataka, India
A. Hi Suman. I'd say poor plating is the best plating that can be done on a porous die-cast aluminum part :-)
Seriously though, any plateable metal can be plated on virtually any substrate -- the choice is based on why you are plating the part -- it's not based on finding a plating that works on porous parts.
It's possible to vacuum impregnate the castings to render them non-porous or at least much less porous. It's possible to anodize them, or paint them, or plate them with almost anything, but I think anodizing is the most common choice. Good luck.
Ted Mooney, P.E. RET
Pine Beach, New Jersey
Q. Hi Ted, thanks for your reply. We cannot avoid porosity on castings. Vacuum impregnation was a good idea. I tried doing ENP on it. ENP doesn't stick on impregnated area. I tried Zinc. Zinc is not penetrating deep into the fins. I tried anodizing. I am not happy with the finish. Is there any other alternate. On porous surface, plating fails very quickly. Corrosion starts from the porous surface; ultrasonic cleaning helps a bit but not 100%.
Regards,Suman [returning]

A. What is wrong with chem film (Alodine, Iridite and etc)? What is wrong with anodize. Both are cheaper and should work for a heat sink.James Watts
- Navarre, Florida
A. Suman,
It should be obvious that porous parts will retain the plating solution and bleed after plating. As you are in B'lore, suggest contacting Mr K Vahanvala who is a professional plater and runs Saify Ind. He is your last hope of success.
- New Delhi, India
With deep regret we
sadly advise that
Asif passed away
on Jan 24, 2016
Hi Asif,
I just saw this and had a rollicking good laugh over it! I'm already on Suman's black list as a plater who can't plate on porous parts! But Suman, to answer your question: zincate, EN and Zinc Cobalt, seems to be the way to go ahead on this.
Saify Ind
Bangalore, Karnataka, India
Q. Vahanwala my Friend.
Need is the mother of invention. Everyone knows porous Surface will bleed after plating. We need to come out with a solution to overcome this. Please take back the word Blacklisted - I am still doing business with you & coming for all R&D work. No doubt you are the right person to give solution to my problem. Vahanwala, I want to come out of ENP fully.
Hi James, Anodizing & Chromating meets my functional requirements. But doesn't meet aesthetic requirements. Can I do some plating on top of anodized / chromated surface.
Regards,Suman [returning]
vendor development - Bangalaore, Karnataka, India
A. You appear to have tried nearly everything and nothing is satisfactory. A zincate followed by a copper strike followed by a copper build followed by nickel may work, but that is a lot more expense and time and places for failure.
Better castings might be a more affordable way to go. Another thought would be to zincate and alkaline EN strike followed by a conventional EN. I doubt if it will meet your needs, but it is a last effort to try. PS, I hate castings and am not in love with bad extrusions.James Watts
- Navarre, Florida
A. If you were sand casting your situation would be hopeless but aluminum die casting MUST render a part with integrity and soundness. There must be something or many things wrong in your casting process. A quality management program for your castings is the answer not finding a miracle plater.Guillermo Marrufo
Monterrey, NL, Mexico
Hi. My vote is for Guillermo's answer. Quality management of the die casting step is essential. Sometimes, although costly, it's a matter of inspecting each casting and throwing each poor one back into the melt pot until better dies, better metal, or better methods are available.
Ted Mooney, P.E. RET
Pine Beach, New Jersey
A. For porous aluminium castings, vacuum impregnation is best idea. It can withstand 250 degree temperature, 72-hour salt spray, etc.Sandeep Nandra

An Elkins man was arrested for allegedly forcing his children - ages 4 and 6 - to smoke marijuana with a makeshift bong-like device, police said.
Timothy Wayne Hedrick, 28, is facing a felony charge of child neglect creating risk of injury. Bond was set at $25,000 cash or surety by Chief Randolph County Magistrate Ben Shepler.
According to the criminal complaint, Randolph County Sheriff's Deputy D.L. VanMeter was contacted by a state Child Protective Services worker. She advised him of an investigation regarding a six-year-old boy who had been non-responsive at Third Ward Elementary School twice this past school year, once resulting in an ambulance being called to the school, the complaint stated.
Article Photos
The CPS worker spoke to the youth, who had an abrasion on the right side of his neck, and who allegedly told the worker his father also "punched him several times in his head," according to the police report. Though no physical marks were found on the child to indicate any sort of punching, he reportedly complained that his head "hurt really bad," the report stated.
The CPS worker also advised VanMeter the child said he smoked marijuana with his father -Hedrick - along with another adult family member and his four-year-old sister, at Hedrick's volition, according to the police report. The boy reportedly told police smoking from the bong "makes his lips burn," the report stated.
During a search of the Hedrick residence, an apartment located at the former Four Seasons Motel on Harrison Avenue, officials found drug paraphernalia, including a home-made bong containing residue, a tuder (a street slang term for a device used to snort substances) containing white residue, and an empty Hydrocodone prescription bottle.
Two other children - a 4-year-old girl and an 11-month-old infant - were at the residence at the time of the search, police said. The mother of the children was home during the search and was taken into custody after the drug materials were found, the report stated.
All of the drug paraphernalia "was in arms' reach" of the children, VanMeter wrote.
The 4-year-old allegedly advised the CPS worker she was forced to smoke marijuana and that afterwards she "throwed up," the report stated. The girl told police she "smokes Kind Bud and weed" with her father and brother, according to the criminal complaint.
The children were taken into CPS custody. Hedrick remained in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail as of presstime.

Tigers defend umpires' call on rain delay, game's end
UPDATE: In light of last night's report of a formal complaint being filed, I followed up. Both the Tigers and Major League Baseball said no complaint was filed about the weather-related decisions.
The last time the Tigers were here in Boston, manager Jim Leyland made headlines across baseball with his rant on the umpiring over the four-game series at the end of May. When Jerry Layne made the call to start Tuesday's game in the rain, delay the game when the rain finally grew harder in the sixth inning, then call the game when the rain wouldn't stop, you figured he was in for an interesting postgame interview.
Instead, he took the high road, or at least the pragmatic one.
"At some point, umpires have to make a call," Leyland said. "It's a tough call. Whether we could've gotten that, you've got the bases loaded, you're a little bit excited that you have a shot, but the umpires do the best they can with that stuff. We had been playing in some pretty good rain, and I think Jerry just decided at that point that he needed to stop it. He gave it a good shot to try to get it in, but from what I'm hearing, it's not supposed to do stop until 1 or 1:30.
"Certainly, to call the game at this point was the right call. Could we have maybe gotten through that inning? Who knows? That's a tough situation for an umpire, but I think they definitely made the right call, calling it now. So be it. We put ourselves in an unfortunate situation."
Verlander sounded similar. He admitted that he "really would've liked to have seen one more batter in that game," meaning Omar Infante stepping to the plate with two outs in the sixth as the potential go-ahead run. But he also sounded like he understood it was time for that game to get stopped.
"I don't think they could've waited any longer," Verlander said. "It was getting pretty bad out there. Obviously, I would've liked to seen them give it one more bat. Who knows what happens? Infante hits a grand slam and we'd be walking out of here winners right now. But you can't fault those guys. I think they waited as long as they possibly could."
Why start that game in the first place, you ask, instead of trying to play two games on Wednesday? You can point to the constrictions of the Major League schedule for that one, if you must. With an extra round of postseason play meaning less time at season's end, and more incentive than ever to play the full schedule, umpires and teams are under more pressure than ever to try to get in games whenever there's a window, despite changeable summer weather. Though it was raining at game's start, it was a light rain that picked up after the first inning.
Nobody brought that up after the game. The umpires warned the Tigers about the weather conditions well ahead of time so that they knew what they were facing and what the forecast called for.
"The umpires, they do a great job with that," Leyland said of their handling of the weather conditions. "They're in a Catch-22 in situations like that."

Sounds like they are talking pc…….game probably never should of started …..again there is always some kind of bull ?!? That goes on in Boston.
Agreed. It started raining in the bottom of the first and it didnt stop. They could have seen it on the radar that there was no shot of getting this game in. I understand the constriction of the schedule and pressure; but why couldnt they try for 2 games today?
But to go that many innings and to call it at that particular point just smells. Then again, the umpires probablly just saved the Tigers from another choke job with the bases loaded this season.
The fact that JL and the boys are not more vocal against the decision to start the game is an illustration of no urgency around this team. Failing has become acceptable. Everybody needs to be accountable. You said Jim. Your words. I really think that they believe they will magically win this division because "they are supposed to". Pretty dangerous way to operate. Less than 60 games to go guys. Anytime would be fine. …. Bueller …. Bueller … Bueller.
— Bob
i kinda felt like boston was stalling. especially during the 1st bases loaded situation.
Verlander: "The last couple starts, I've just been a bit inconsistent. Gotta work to get it back. I have some work to do". He has been so all season long against professional hitters:
Hit hard by the East:Twice by NY 4 and 5( 3 ER), twice by Boston 5 and 4 ( 3 ER) , twice by TB 4 and 4 runs. 5 lost games. Detroit is 14 -14 against the East. The rest of the staff is 14- 9 against the East.
Last night was again in love with his fastball.
He served to Hitiriaco a BP pitch. Did he understimate the rookie? That is what the ESPN in español commenter thinks(and he is Detroit Tigers fan ). BTW:Why the infield was in with 1 out and bases loaded?
He got the corner in the first inning , then not.
Best pitcher in baseball? Ray Halladay and King Felix may disagree
yea his stuff was gross last night. lack of movement on his fastball i thought.
Probably had to rely on his fastball because he couldnt get any grip on offspeed stuff.
Infield was probably in for 2 reasons: 1) JL knew this game was not going the full 9 and he wanted to cut down the run and restore the score; 2) the infield was so saturated that they had to play in because a ground ball was going to die on the grass or skip on the dirt. They needed to be in just to have a chance at a force at home.
Thats just my opinion as to why.
— Bob
Crawford tough to double up too.
Good point … Ok, 3 reasons …🙂
— Bob
The game should have never been played at all. They started in rain, which used to be unheard of, and had a clear radar picture of the rain increasing in the coming hours. Detroit has Thursday off and Boston plays at home that night, so a DH today would have been no problem. Money drives these things from the home team perspective but the umpires should have shut it down before it became official. It was very obvious that conditions were unplayable most of the game. I also venture to say that if the score had been reversed, the Red Sox would be screaming to high heaven.
That aside, Prince was that close to hitting a grand slam that would have put us up, 5-1.
Infante appeared to stop to allow the runner to go by before trying to field Crawford's hopper, then looked up before picking up the ball. I think Omar had the right of way and obstruction/interference may have been called.
All in all, it's another typical Boston visit. The foreboding thought is that if we lose the division by one game, this will be the one we look back at.
Damaso Blanco said that Infante was at fault in the 2 runs play.
Fielder and Peralta and a couple more were out of the stadium without the rain. It was like a wall stopping those flyballs.
Fielder did what he is paid for : swing hard , sometimes it does not work.
I'm beginning to think the Boston mob pays off the umps……every call every decision always seems to go their way. Lol. Seriously though it's a beyond the ridiculous and the obvious.
One fact pretty much indisputable is the team this year has been unable to deliver or reduce the pressure it is under to perform. Their inability to play loose and enjoy the game has been absent for maybe 2 or 3 weeks all season. Not surprising the least secure support guys have struggled.
I sure hope the season is not judged a success or failure on whether the Tigs are able to scrape past Chisox by a game or so with a 84-78 record.
Our last 13 are against KC and the Twins who no doubt will bring pitchers out of the woods and look to even up the 12-5 season split.
I had a thought and I dont know if anyone knows the rules on this.
If they continued for one more batter and Omar hit a grand slam to give us the lead. Then AJax makes an out to end the inning. At that point the umpires call for the tarp. Two hours later, they decide to call the game. Does the top of the 6th get wiped out because the Bosox did not have the same amount of at bats? Does the score revert back to the end of 5 innings? Does anyone know the rule on that?
What would have P'ed us off more? What actually happened or my hypothetical scenario?
If the top of the 6th does get wiped, do you think that played into the umpires mind. I mean they waited until the go ahead run came to the plate. Not before.
Conspiracy theorists please pile on.
— Bob
No, if the Tigers had taken the lead the game is suspended and ended later ot today.
Steimbrener coerced MLB into that change in the middle 80s: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/start_end_4.jsp
(a) A game shall become a suspended game that must be completed at a future date if the game is terminated for any of the following reasons
5) Weather, if a regulation game is called while an inning is in progress and before the inning is completed, and the visiting team has scored one or more runs to take the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead; or
Thanks El Tigre. I knew you would have the answer.
Another reason why they should have let us have one more batter. The umpires based their decision this rule and not the weather otherwise they wouldn't have even started the 6th or the game for that matter.
— Bob
Your welcome
Right. It was still a strange time to suddenly say enough is enough. I think the umpires had it in their mind that this is the last hitter, and hoped upon hope that he'd make the third out. Didn't happen.
Even though we were probably never going to win the thing, we still got hosed. In Boston. Again.
And we took it gracefully, like the gentlemanly club that we are. Polite gentlemen.
As they said:you can not fire 25 players ( even if Boston is trying). There is only one manager…
@BBritten_Tigers: Scoring change from 7/26: Santiago now charged with error in 7th inning. Subtracts 1 H & 1 ER from Verlander's line.
I love how they can go back a week and change a hit to an error … but they couldnt go back and change a hit to an out (I think everyone knows what I am referrring to). Head scratching.
— Bob
Infante should bat 5th
Dirks and Worth update: http://toledoblade.typepad.com/coopscoop/2012/07/updates-on-andy-dirks-danny-worth.html
Thanx for the update. Health sounds good Performance thus far leaves much to be desired. Hope Dirks gets back on track soon.

ASBURY PARK – This year, the Jersey Shore may have saved the best for last.
On any given weekend, in at least one borough or township public space a huddles a collection of food trucks and catering stands cooking up the region's legendary fresh seafood – but with tourist season officially over and autumn rapidly approaching, Asbury Park's Oysterfest might be the best of the fests.
At least, that's what John Rerup thinks.
"Now that they've moved this back here, it's the best," Rerup said. "Belmar's space is too small, it is hard to move around. It's nice to be able to enjoy some space.
This year, Oysterfest returns to the Asbury Park carousel after a year on a green space near Wesley Lake.
Rerup, of Bradley Beach, was finishing a fried oyster taco from the Ragin Cajun food stand.
"They do a remarkable job on their seafood," Rerup said. "It is really, really good."
Next to him, Jane Smith, of Point Pleasant, was finishing a lobster roll from Bradley Beach's Giamanos.
"Oh yeah, it's delicious," Smith said. "I think I'm going after some oysters next, I'm an oyster fan."
Nearby, Holly Sieka, of Red Bank, was finishing crab cakes and fried shrimp from Ocean City's Ike's Famous Crabcakes.
"The food is good and the atmosphere is nice, I can't complain – except the lines are really long," Sieka said. "I think we're done for the day after this."
Sieka said Oysterfest, now in its seventh year, compares favorably to Riverfest, Red Bank's big culinary festival.
"The kiosks and the food stands were nice, so I like this better, t hough there is a lot more music at Riverfest," Sieka said. "It is good that dogs are welcome here."
A crew of canines, from miniscule Chihuahuas to towering Great Danes, roamed the festival with their human companions. Volunteers from the Monmouth County SPCA were on hand walking dogs ready for adoption.
Kerrie Gonzalez, of Howell, was enjoying her first Oysterfest by eating some of the festival's namesake shellfish.
"The food is good and it is nice being outside on such a beautiful day," Gonzalez said. "So far, I like the festival."
Some couples walked the festival grounds simply enjoying the picture-perfect weekend weather.
Highlands seafood standouts Station 1 and Lusty Lobster were on hand selling oysters, lobster rolls and other treats. Harvest Specialty Catering offered up its signature lobster macaroni and cheese, while Belmar's Jake's Crab Shack cooked grilled crab cake sandwiches. Long lines snaked around the seafood stands.
There was a lot more than oysters and other seafood at Oysterfest. Hotdogs, burgers, cigars, wine, beer and music and rows of other vendors fill the Asbury Park carousel parking lot. The festival also features plentiful seating and an extensive children's play area.
For Rerup and Smith, the seafood adventure doesn't end with the festival.
"After this, we're going to go back home and grill up some lobster claws," Rerup said. "I can't get enough seafood."
Oysterfest, presented by the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce, continues on Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., featuring a line-up of bands and cooking demonstrations. Admission to the festival site, at the corner of Ocean and Asbury Avenues, is $3.

Monitoring the safety of medicines: European Medicines Agency presents first report on implementation of pharmacovigilance legislation to the European Commission
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has presented the European Commission with its first report on the tasks it undertook during the first year of application of the EU's new pharmacovigilance legislation. The EMA, the national competent authorities in the Member States and the European Commission have collaborated closely in fulfilling their responsibilities for implementing the new legislation.
The report, which covers the period 2 July 2012 to 1 July 2013, reveals positive results for EMA in ensuring delivery of the main objectives of the new legislation under its responsibility, i.e. better collection of key information on medicines, improved analysis and understanding of data and information, improved timeliness of procedures and greater transparency.
Some of the concrete achievements during the first-year reporting period are:
- An increase of more than 9000 in patient reports of suspected adverse drug reactions.
- Product information changes as a consequence of assessment of signals of new or changing safety issues with certain medicines.
- Initiation of a number of major public health reviews, for example on :
- combined hormonal contraceptives and venous thrombo-embolism,
- medicines containing Cyproterone acetate/ethinylestradiol (Diane-35 and generics) and venous thrombo-embolism,
- Codeine-containing products (including generics) used for pain relief and overdose in children.
- Training thousands of individuals in pharmacovigilance and publication of a catalogue with training material for the implementation of the new legislation.
Pharmacovigilance - the process and science of monitoring the safety of medicines and taking action to reduce their risks - is vital to public health. By carrying out the tasks highlighted in this report, the EMA contributes to ensuring that the EU system of pharmacovigilance is one of the most advanced and comprehensive systems in the world.

OKC police: Craigslist car thief sought
Victim's son holds woman at gunpoint until police arrive
Published 11:51 AM CDT Mar 11, 2013
Oklahoma City police are looking for a man they say stole a car he saw on Craigslist.
Investigators say a man selling his car on Craigslist met with a man he believed was a potential buyer near Northwest 10th Street and North Villa Avenue Saturday.
The seller told police that the man asked to see under the car's hood. However, the thief then jumped into the driver's seat and fled, leaving behind a woman he had brought with him, according to investigators.
The car owner's son arrived and held the woman at gunpoint until police got there. Investigators are questioning the woman about the crime.

As Rutgers prepares for its sixth bowl appearance in the last seven seasons, coach Greg Schiano said Sunday he'll use the first half of the week to do "some evaluation" of his team and then structure practices later in the week accordingly.
Rutgers, expected to play in either the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C., or the Pinstripe Bowl in Yankee Stadium, will learn its destination this weekend. The bowl appearance gives the Scarlet Knights an opportunity to have a maximum of 15 more practices — the length of spring practice.
Some of the decisions that Schiano makes will be made with an eye toward the future. Perhaps the biggest will come at quarterback.
Quarterback Chas Dodd was benched in favor of freshman Gary Nova in the Scarlet Knights' 40-22 loss at Connecticut on Saturday, and the starting job is again in question. The defeat cost Rutgers (8-4, 4-3 in the Big East) a share of its first-ever Big East title.
Nova (11-of-18 for 298 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions) outplayed Dodd (11-of-22 for 141 yards, one interception), but Nova played in mop-up time and against a prevent defense. It remains to be seen how much weight Schiano gives his performance.
"The quarterback decision has always been open," Schiano said Sunday during a conference call. "It's not like it has to be reopened. I don't know what that decision will be. We have some time now.
"(Offensive coordinator) Frank (Cignetti) and I will sit down and kind of look at the body of work (for the entire season). Moving forward, I think they both can do it."
Rutgers has had a different opening-day starting quarterback in each of the past four seasons: Mike Teel, Dom Natale, Tom Savage and Dodd.
A big part of Saturday's problems was Rutgers totaling minus-nine yards rushing against Connecticut. The team ranks 115th nationally (out of 120 schools) in rushing this season.
Further, Rutgers ranks 91st nationally in sacks allowed (30) with six recorded by Connecticut.
And that brings us to the offensive line where long-term decisions are also coming. The unit will lose three starters in center Caleb Ruch and guards Art Forst and Desmond Wynn, but the cupboard isn't bare.
Center Dallas Hendrikson returns from knee surgery. Guard Betim Bujari got valuable experience this season while sharing time, and versatile backup David Osei will vie for a starting job at either guard or tackle.
In search of talent on both sides of the ball, Schiano and his staff hit the recruiting trail Sunday night after meetings.
"Sometimes you'd like to feel sorry for yourself but there's no time to," said Schiano, who missed out on a chance to win a share of his first Big East championship in his 11 seasons in Piscataway, where he has a 67-67 career record.
NOTES: RB Jawan Jamison (ankle), DT Justin Francis (calf), TE D.C. Jefferson (knee) and WR Tim Wright (knee) are all expected to play in the bowl game.

What to do and see in Bali, Indonesia
The number of things to do in Bali will amaze new visitors and keep long-time travelers coming back for more. Bali is the rare place that is both deeply spiritual and totally fun. Whatever your age or interest, whether you are travelling with your loved ones or alone, you are certain to find mental and physical satisfaction. Even during a short visit, you can let loose, stay fit, and explore the cultural and traditional roots of the island. In fact, with so many affordable options on offer, the only hard work in Bali is deciding what to do next.
Bali's natural attractions include miles of sandy beaches (many are well-known amongst surfers), picturesque rice terraces, towering active volcanoes over 3,000 meters (10,000 ft.) high, fast flowing rivers, deep ravines, pristine crater lakes, sacred caves, and lush tropical forests full of exotic wildlife.
The island's rich cultural heritage is visible everywhere – in over 20,000 temples and palaces, in many colorful festivals and ceremonies (including tooth filings and cremations), in drama, music, and dance.
You can experience Bali on many different excursions and guided tours by coach, private car or "Big Bike", by boat or even by chartered plane and helicopter: seeing Bali's beaches and rice terraces, the famous Besakih Temple on the slopes of holy Mount Agung, Lake Batur and it's active volcano, Ubud, Legian, Kuta, Nusa Dua, and the temples of Tanah Lot and Ulu Watu.
Most ORGANIZED full day tours by car (about 8 to 10 hours, min 2 persons) cost about US$50 to US$80 per person, half day tours US$35 to US$40. These prices include a guide and transport in an air-conditioned private car, all entrance fees, but no meals, sometimes lunch. Which guide and driver you choose can make or break your day: be warned that those who offer very low prices tend to waste your time by showing you hardly any more than those shops which pay them a commission on your purchases.

The best response to a question sometimes is another question. You ask: What wine should my sweetie and I drink on Valentine's Day?
Response: How long have you been together?
Just think in terms of how long you've been a couple:
Six months or less: Think pink and bubbles. The bloom is still on your relationship, big time, and the beverage should reflect that. If money is little object, shell out for the real deal from Champagne, $75-plus for Billecart-Salmon or Pol Roger or maybe half that for Nicolas Feuillatte or Piper-Heidsieck. Or spend a bit more on the food and look for something from Alsace (Albrecht, Zinck, Pierre Sparr) or Austria (Brundlmayer).
One to five years: The bloom might be off the rose (or the rosé), but you're still sweet on each other, so celebrate with one of those lush, nectar-like wines. Two sweet ones worth a $70 splurge are the Baumard Quarts de Chaume, a chenin blanc from France's Loire region, or Inniskillin Vidal Ice Wine from Ontario. But more affordable options abound, from chocolate-infused reds (Trentadue Chocolate Amore or Rosenblum Desiree) to a wonderful Washington riesling (Chateau Ste. Michelle's "Eroica") to the gorgeous dessert wines from France's Banyuls region (Chapoutier, Les Clos de Paulilles).
Five to 10 years: So now there's a good chance your relationship is as much about looking ahead as looking back. Wine and wanderlust are natural companions: People who enjoy wine invariably love to travel, especially to vine-laden lands. So as you start mapping your trips, begin exploring the destination's bounty: Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany (Casanova di Neri Tenuta, Banfi), pinot noir from Oregon (Ken Wright, Le Cadeau), the under-recognized whites of Australia (Yalumba Vermentino, Brokenwood Semillon).
More than 10 years: Plenty of options, starting with a vintage bottle from the year of your first date or wedding (if you have a hard time finding one, get a 20-year-old Tawny Port from Dow or Taylor Fladgate). Or have the same wine you savored together on a cherished trip, at a wedding, or on your best date of late.
But really, anything you two feel like having is just fine.

President Barack Obama is attacking GOP Rep. Paul Ryan's budget calling it a "Trojan horse" that would hurt the pocketbooks of working Americans.
The Wisconsin lawmaker's plan would try to shrink the deficit by reducing spending, reforming Medicare, cutting tax rates, and getting rid of many tax breaks.
But the president said the proposal is an attempt to impose a radical vision on the United States disguised as a deficit reduction plan.
"It's nothing but thinly veiled social Darwinism," Obama said in excerpts of his speech released Tuesday.
Democrats say the plan would gut Medicare, cut taxes for the wealthy, and lead to deep cuts on crucial government programs.

Where do the good ideas come from? In this column, we offer our readers the opportunity to learn about — and benefit from — some of the cutting-edge technologies being implemented by law enforcement colleagues around the world.
City of Irvine Takes Delivery of New Communications Vehicle
Renegade Specialty Vehicles announces the delivery of a communications vehicle to the City of Irvine, California. This unit has an overall length of 45 feet and is built on a Freightliner M2 chassis. The cab is integrated into the custom heavy-duty body with three slide-out rooms. Each of the six workstations is equipped with 700/800-MHz radios, VoIP telephones, computers with multiple monitors, 120-VAC power, video switch, and even a DC jack for cellular telephones.
The vehicle is equipped with satellite-based network services to the six PC workstations, eight VoIP phones, and a printer. An automatically deployable satellite, a modem, and satellite networking services were installed. The satellite network provides 3 Mbps of Internet download speed and 1 Mbps upload speed. The modular access router for the vehicle's network and VoIP phones is configured to work with the satellite network. A wireless access point was mounted externally to provide access for wireless VoIP phones and laptops. The wireless access point allows for future mesh network expansion.
The AMX video switching system is designed to project a multitude of video, audio, and VGA inputs/outputs throughout the interior and exterior of the unit. The vehicle is equipped with an in-motion satellite with three high-definition receivers.
Mounted on a custom-built, heavy-duty bracket for stability is a 60-foot Will-Burt mast with two Pelco high-resolution cameras. Renegade also fabricated the mount for the cameras and included multiple NMO mounts with coaxial routed to the central electronics room for ease of adding repeaters, boosters, or transceivers. The mast is pneumatic, with easy access to controls.
According to David L. Maggard, Irvine chief of police, "The City of Irvine is known for its low crime and commitment to public safety. Renegade customized a one-of-a-kind specialty vehicle that greatly supports both our crime-fighting and emergency response efforts."

Phoenix Police Department Protects Super owl XLII Crowds with Firetide Wireless Video Surveillance
The Phoenix Police Department watched over the safety of more than 200,000 spectators, citizens, dignitaries, and U.S. officials who visited downtown Phoenix during the weekend of Super Bowl XLII by using a wireless video surveillance system. The Phoenix Police Department set up a secure wireless network provided by Firetide, Inc., a leading developer of wireless mesh and access networks. The system transports evidence-grade video from cameras in alleys, the middle of the street, and other hard-to-reach places to two operation centers. Even with fewer "boots on the ground," the police department is able to decrease traffic congestion and reduce the risk of incident escalations.
"Our Firetide wireless video surveillance system considerably increases the Phoenix Police Department's situational awareness, response time, and ability to protect the public," said Chris Jensen, a detective in the city's Drug Enforcement Bureau. "Before we had this system, an incident around the corner could easily escalate into a larger problem before it was even detected. With 360-degree cameras, trained operators are able to see incidents as they occur. Our Firetide video network acts as a force multiplier."
The department has installed nearly 40 video surveillance cameras in and around downtown Phoenix. Forty Firetide mesh nodes wirelessly connect the cameras to operations centers where state, local, and federal public safety agencies work together. Specially trained agents monitor the real-time video streams and coordinate responses. The police department uses Firetide's HotPort 6000 mesh nodes together with the company's HotView Pro management software to control the network.
The Phoenix Police Department will continue to use the equipment, including the mesh nodes and cameras, for investigations and video surveillance of the Phoenix area.

West Virginia Counties Select Moducom Dispatch Consoles for 9-1-1 Center
The Doddridge/Ritchie Counties 9-1-1 Center in Greenwood, West Virginia, chose Moducom's UltraCom E-911 and Radio Dispatch Console over five years ago. Deputy Director John Hatfield said that the reliability, adaptability, and configurability of the UltraCom are some of its greatest benefits. He put it very simply when he said, "I love the configurability of their system." The system is both adaptable and customizable. Hatfield enjoys the ability to customize screen layouts, enabling authorized personnel to make screen and level changes easily. This ease of operation made the opening of the Greenwood 9-1-1 center very smooth, even though the center had no experienced 9-1-1 operators when it went online.
When Deputy Director Hatfield was going through the bidding process, budget was a major factor. Moducom was by far the least expensive of the bid respondents. In addition, because Moducom has always offered free software upgrades for the life of the system, Greenwood received Phase I and Phase II for free. Thus, besides for expansion purposes, in over five years, the center has spent almost nothing on maintenance and upgrades for either 9-1-1 or radio dispatch.
Deputy Director Hatfield also stated that he liked the fact that "everything was integrated." The UltraCom is a single application system, with enhanced 9-1-1 (E-911), telephone, radio dispatch, mapping, and VoIP all built in. Other manufacturers have to piece together different technology and equipment in an attempt to integrate.
Reliability in the public safety field is key. Deputy Director Hatfield confirmed that the UltraCom is "very reliable." In fact, in the five years since the Greenwood 9-1-1 center has owned the system, it has never had a hard failure, and Hatfield has had to replace only a few minor parts. Consequently, because the installation has been so successful, the center is considering buying another UltraCom system soon. ■

|INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL «URBAN OUTCAST», August 8–21, 2010, Riga
Host of the Summer School
Today, twenty years after the re-establishment of independence from the Soviet Union, there still exist areas on the fringes of Riga, capital city of Latvia, that have to deal with the industrial, military, architectural and social consequences of the previous era. Bolderaja, a marginal wing of the city laying 14 kilometers downstream river Daugava from the city centre in the picturesque area on the Baltic coast has a challenging mixture of traditional urban pattern of a coastal settlement, remains of an unfinished fortress of the early 17th century – outpost of Riga, regular military campus structure of the beginning of the 19th century with evidence of the industrial sprawl of the following period and Soviet time large scale dwelling areas. Conflicting significances and dense cultural diversity has made Bolderaja obtain the identity of an urban outcast within the city. However, the history and the strategically significant location of the territory – near the mouth of river Daugava, just in two kilometers distance from the Gulf of Riga – calls for a careful examination and reformulation of its unique cultural identity and locus.
Host of the Summer School
The Summer School is organized by the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning and the International and Public Relations Department of Riga Technical University.
Riga Technical University is an internationally recognized university complying with European standards. At present it is one of the largest universities in the country and gathers nearly 16 000 students at eight faculties in various study programs. Riga Technical University is the only institution in Latvia providing higher education in architecture and urban planning at graduate and post-graduate levels. About 300 students are studying at the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, which is active in carrying out scientific research activities as well.
Bolderaja challenges a significant shift towards a different perception of urban outcast phenomenon. Context of an urban outcast has the capacity of an exciting advantage to reveal previously unused layering of the city that can be used for future urban regeneration and reintegration of city parts. Multiple interpretations of global and local context can lead to a change of urban conditions in Bolderaja.
The Summer School "Urban Outcast" will be aimed to discuss urbanization and the 'non-places', social and economic issues, public space and urban identity aspects in the given marginal context and investigate possible strategic interventions. Within this framework, different directions and spatial scales of exploration will be transformed into practical workshop activities.
Target Audience
The Summer School invites students of most diverse specialisations and branches – Architecture, Urban Planning and Design, Landscape Architecture, Geography, Fine Arts and Social sciences, and other fields – taking interest in the formation of environment to come together and in an informal atmosphere model new urban processes, choosing the specific focus areas of study to meet their interests – from the design of improvement of the territory and installations in nature by interactive modelling of situations to involvement in theoretical research projects.
During the Summer School you will be offered a wide program consisting of lectures and discussions, workshops and sightseeing tours. The program will be conducted by practicing architects, urban planners, developers etc. Lectures and workshops will be held in English.
You will work in a multidisciplinary and multinational environment and look for different experiences, concepts and ideas, create your own visions and proposals for public open space, built form, preservation and integration of new development into the city structure. The results of your work will be presented at an exhibition and displayed on the internet. The social program will include guided tours and excursions, film evenings, parties, sport activities and more.
Study Credits
Certificate of Further Education of Riga Technical University and 3 ECTS credit points (ECTS = European Credit Transfer System) credits will be awarded upon completion of the program.
Arrival and Departure
The transfer to and from Riga should be organized and paid individually. Riga can be easily reached by plane (www.riga-airport.com; www.airbaltic.com), bus (www.eurolines.lv; www.ecolines.lv). From Belarus, Russia and Ukraine you can travel also by train to Riga (http://sirius.ldz.lv), from Sweden by ferry (www.tallink.lv). Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any assistance in order to organize your journey.
Accommodation and Meals
Accommodation is organised in a dormitory. You will receive catering coupons for breakfast and dinner.
Participation Fee
The participation fee, including registration, tuition, accommodation, meals (breakfast and dinner) and social program is EUR 635. A limited number of partial bursaries is available; however, you should be able to cover your own travel expenses and health insurance.
Ministry of Education and Science of Latvia offers 5 full scholarships for participation at the Summer School to foreign nationals, pursuant to bilateral intergovernmental or inter-ministerial agreements concluded with the following countries: Azerbaijan, Belgian Flanders Community and Belgian French Community, China, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Estonia, Israel, Lithuania, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
The International Summer School in Riga accepts no liability for accidents, theft or any damage or injury that might occur during the course. For the duration of the course you are asked to carry extended personal liability insurance and health insurance.
The deadline of submitting the application is May 31, 2010. The application documents should be in English. For the application form, please visit the homepage of the Summer School http://www.summerschool.rtu.lv or it can be sent to you by e-mail, upon request.
Please enclose the following documents:
The organizing committee at the International and Public Relations Department of RTU will be happy to answer all questions concerning organizational matters, which might occur before the Summer School starts or during its course.

DOHA: Expatriate families living in partitioned villas and apartments could be in for trouble as the Central Municipal Council (CMC) has urged the civic ministry to take urgent measures to stop the practice.
The representative body has said families living in pigeonhole residential units in partitioned villas and even in partitioned flats are putting themselves at risk and putting undue pressure on utilities and services.
The services committee of the CMC has drafted a set of recommendations, which the House debated yesterday and forwarded to the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning for approval and action.
The Ministry takes CMC's recommendations seriously and normally approves them with minor alterations.
The CMC has urged the ministry to strictly enforce the law regulating buildings (No. 4 of 1985) and the Rent Law (No. 4 of 2008), which stipulate that no alterations should be made in buildings and apartments without permission from municipal authorities.
The CMC noted with concern that people took villas on rent, partitioned them to create small residential units, and sublet them, which is against the law.
Any residential unit, whether a villa or an apartment, should not be allowed to be partitioned without approval from the municipality concerned, it said.
The CMC noted that partitioning was also against Law Number 7 of 1989, which regulates the architecture and specifications of buildings.
"Conduct a study (survey) of such villas and apartments and come out with a draft decision to ban portioning," said the CMC in its recommendations.
It asked the ministry to coordinate with public utility Kahramaa and ensure that water and electricity supply to residential units in partitioned villas and apartments are discontinued with immediate effect.
The CMC further urged the ministry to deploy its inspectors to conduct checks and identify partitioned villas and apartments.
The ministry must make sure that its inspectors are able to enter homes to run such checks and catch violators, as government inspectors are not permitted by law to enter homes.
Not allowing illegal partitioning of villas and apartments is in public interest, as not only is it against the law but it also puts people's safety at immense risk.
The community at large, say the CMC recommendations, should be made aware of the dangers of partitioning villas and apartments and subletting them to people to live in.

In Reply.—In our studies involving antineutrophil serum, proteinase inhibitors, and oxygen free radical scavengers, we have primarily been interested in the effects of these substances on intestinal wound margin strength. We have not attempted to quantify the formation of peritoneal adhesions in these experiments, and therefore have no available data on that issue. The concept that oxygen free radicals might induce adhesion formation is challenging. However, to our knowledge, the hypothesis remains to be tested in an experimental setting.

A case of extreme animal abuse brought out the generosity of strangers.
Officials seized more than 60 malnourished horses from a small farm in Seminole County one week ago. More than 20 horses died.
A fundraiser was held at the Atwoods in Norman on Saturday.
"We all need to do something," a participant said. "We need to take a stand when a stand needs to be taken."
About $1,000 in cash was raised, and another $2,000 worth of supplies were donated.
Prosecutors said they plan to pursue the maximum number of charges against Carolynn Vaughan, who was the owner of the animals.

Messin with the food chain
t While the
coyotes are away, the rats will play in Driftwood Keys.
DRIFTWOOD KEYS Finding household cat collars in a coyote den is no comfort, but dealing with rats isnt either.
Before March, Driftwood Keys residents had a problem cohabiting with coyotes.
Ever since the development was built behind Driftwood Keys, it seems the coyotes migrated to the food sources, said Michelle McDougall, Driftwood Keys resident. People would hear and see them when they were out walking and they would follow them down the road. A lot of people walk with small dogs and it was always a fear that the coyote would come out of the brush.
To combat, traps were brought in two months ago, said Bill Bugle, Driftwood Key Club president, adding it was a joint effort with the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). There isnt any problem with them (coyotes) anymore. It was accomplished and done.
Bugle said he didnt know how many were trapped or killed in the process.
They are wild animals. Its their domain and they probably will be back, Bugle said.
In the meantime, Driftwood Key residents have to put up with the rising numbers of rats and rodents.
They (coyotes) prey on the swale, rodents, mice and rats, McDougall said.
Thats what happens when people mess with the food chain, Bugle said.
Thats the trouble. You get rid of the predators that eat the rats and you get more rats, he said. Its a fine line to tread.

What would life be without art? Science prolongs life. To consist of what -- eating, drinking, and sleeping? What is the good of living longer if it is only a matter of satisfying the requirements that sustain life? All this is nothing without the charm of art.

FAIRBANKS - Fairbanks police arrested a man accused of firing a .45-caliber handgun multiple times outside a bar.
Police Sgt. Gregory Foster said 25-year-old Woodson Jasmin was charged with misconduct involving weapons. Investigators found 10 shell casings, but there were no injuries or property damage.
Foster said the gunplay followed an argument at closing time.
A second man, Nathaniel Sanders, was accused of hindering prosecution. Police say he helped Jasmin leave the scene and withheld knowledge of where the gun was hidden.

Sir.—In the recent article concernin[ill] King's syndrome and malignant hype[ill] thermia (MH),1 the authors noted tha[ill] MH is induced by "volatile anesthetic and/or nondepolarizing muscle relax[ill] ants, most often halothane and suc[ill] cinylcholine." While these two agent are classically associated with MH succinylcholine, rather than being nondepolarizing relaxant, is actually depolarizing relaxant. In fact, in swin[ill] susceptible to MH, triggering seem[ill] to require depolarization of the musc[ill] membrane.2 Generally, some non depolarizing relaxants, such as pan[ill] curonium, are considered "safe" in th[ill] patient suspected of being at risk fo[ill] MH. This is logical in view of evidenc[ill] that the nondepolarizers block suc[ill] cinylcholine triggering of MH.3

Spain's Grupo Ferrer and Fundación Medina (Fundación Centro de Excelencia en Investigación de Medicamentos Innovadores en Andalucía) signed a research collaboration centered on the discovery of novel antibiotics from Medina's natural product libraries.
Medina is a nonprofit research organization focused on drug discovery from microbial natural products, and offers what it claims is one of the world's most productive collections of filamentous fungi, actinomycetes, and bacteria for discovery of secondary metabolites. Building on the natural products expertise of what was Merck Basic Research Center in Madrid (CIBE), the organization operates as a public–private partnership between Merck Sharp and Dohme de España, the Consejería de Salud and the Consejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa from the Junta de Andalucía, and the University of Granada. In addition to exploiting its discovery of new leads from microbial natural products, Medina also offers drug development services based on its high-throughput ADME/Tox screening platform.
Grupo Ferrer's existing drug pipeline includes two clinical-stage antibiotics. Ozenoxacin is a nonfluorinated quinolone, which is undergoing Phase III evaluation as a potential treatment for topical infections. Arasertaconazole is an azole antifungal agent progressing through Phase II development for the treatment of vulvo-vaginal infections. Ferrer says it has recently shifted its anti-infectives programs towards niche indications, including potential candidates derived from natural sources.

Our library has a very cool art collection, and I get to be in charge of it. I started drawing when I was 4 years old, and never stopped making art. I want to do more than show you art, I want to help you understand it, relate to it, and 'get' it. Art lets us share what it is to be human.

20 Things Motherhood in My 20s Taught MeCasey Mullins
I began drinking at 14, became far too involved with boys at 15, I moved out of my mom's house at 17, met my husband at 18, and married him shortly after 19. I had my first baby at 22, almost got divorced at 27, fell in love all over again at 28, and had my second baby at 29. I did enough living in my teenage years to make up for a lifetime of rebellion and excitement. This Saturday I leave my 20s behind and enter my dirty thirties.
My mom wasn't even a mom until her 30s.
I'm so looking forward to my 30s, while I learned so much in my 20s, I hurt so many people. I hurt myself. I damaged myself and relationships around me and despite my best efforts to heal many of them, it just wasn't possible. I have plans, I have dreams, and I have two feet planted very firmly on the ground. I could have never learned and grown in all the ways that I have without my babies, and I'm glad we made the choice to have babies early.
While the following are all things people can learn at any point in life, some people never learn them, or learn them too late. I'm thankful I got so many of them out of the way in my 20s so I can really enjoy what my 30s have planned for me (which at this point includes A CRUISE WITH MY HUSBAND. *ehem*).
I learned that no matter how unprepared I was, the maternal instincts were there 1 of 20Oh dear, that girl on the right became someone's mother. I didn't know a thing about babies, and yet once mine was placed in my arms — I began to figure things out.
I learned how to hug 2 of 20For the longest time I didn't like hugging other people because it felt so strange to be that close to another person. I then had a hug that changed my life and it forever changed the way I hug. I'm pretty proud of my hugs, I mean the hell out of them.
I learned about God 3 of 20I always knew about God, but around 18, I began to believe He was really there. During my deepest darkest struggles, I knew He was there, and having that knowledge brings so much comfort to my heart.
I learned younger bodies are far more resilient 4 of 20Having a baby at 22 was much easier than having a baby at 29. I already knew I took my younger body for granted, but nothing has made that more obvious than my second pregnancy.
I learned about unconditional love 5 of 20Through my kids, I learned about the love God has for me, and after a horrible year, I learned that love really can heal all things and it's worth fighting for.
I learned that babies don't keep 6 of 20As much as I looked forward to babies, it has gone by all too quickly. I'm so grateful I stopped and took the time to really enjoy them at each stage.
I learned to sleep when the baby sleeps 7 of 20Talk about the most overused baby advice. But it's true. It's popular because it's true. I ran myself ragged with my first baby. Trying to do so much while she slept, I was wrecked and exhausted by the time she woke up.
I learned about a mother heart 8 of 20A mother heart is one that turns away from fame, popularity, and fortune and puts motherhood first and foremost. It's a heart that knows that no other person is better for raising her children than her own.
I learned that being mean gets you nowhere good 9 of 20There's a right way and a wrong way to handle problems and confrontations. Being mean isn't who I am and it's never gotten me what I wanted in the end.
I learned that nothing is more important than family 10 of 20Moving far away from family and everything I grew up with was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I learned to rely on my husband, and together, we learned to be stronger for our girls.
I learned that good people make all the difference 11 of 20I quit surrounding myself with a grand quantity of friends and instead stuck to the quality ones. My happiness and confidence in myself skyrocketed.
I learned how to say no 12 of 20I also know when to say too much, and I know when to ask for help.
I learned that babies are magical 13 of 20I didn't grow up around babies. Sure, they were always cute but I never understood the obsession until I held my own in my arms. Now I can't get enough; I may be borderline creeper with certain babies.
I learned how to cook 14 of 20I always knew how to cook, kind of. But nothing has made me feel more domestic and reliable than knowing how to cook for my family. It's a skill I'm so thankful I've worked on for the last 10 years.
I learned that stuff doesn't amount to much 15 of 20I used to find happiness in spending money and acquiring the latest and greatest stuff, but when everything else fell apart and all I was left with was stuff? I was miserable. I began working harder on the stuff that really mattered.
I learned a baby can never be loved too much 16 of 20My grandma once scolded me and told me I was going to spoil my baby by holding her too much. Turns out it's absolutely impossible to love a baby too much — take that, grandma.
I learned how to roll with the punches 17 of 20I've ended up in some pretty ridiculous situations in other states and countries ... and some have even involved poo. I've learned that freaking out doesn't do much, but knowing that it will end and there's always a way out has served me well.
I learned how to be okay by myself 18 of 20I used to always have to be with someone, belong to someone, be talking to someone. Being alone was scary and dark. I now relish time alone and enjoy being with myself. I'm pretty fun.
I learned to put myself first 19 of 20Babies and kids can be never-ending vortexes of happiness and energy. I learned to step away from them and put myself first on occasion because I deserve it and am such a better mom (and wife) when I have moments to myself. It's not selfish, it's survival.
I straightened my $7%@ out 20 of 20I've seen people much older than me still dealing with things from their teens and twenties. I've been able to stop blaming my childhood, my parents, and my experiences for my difficulties and have begun to embrace them as the most spectacular learning experiences I could have ever had.
