June 28, 1999
DUVALL--A day after Duvall City Engineer Elizabeth Goode recommended to the City Council that the city officially oppose construction of the proposed cross-Cascades petroleum pipeline, Olympic Pipe Line withdrew its application for the new fuel line.
The company indicated, though, that it may file again at a later date. The pipeline was initially proposed over three years ago.
Goode had made the recommendation last Thursday in light of the June 10 pipeline explosion in Bellingham that killed two 10-year-old boys and a teenager. Duvall is the only city in the Snoqualmie Valley that had not taken a stand on the issue.
The 231-mile petroleum pipeline was slated to go from Woodinville to Pasco, crossing through the Snoqualmie Valley. The cities of Carnation, Snoqualmie, and North Bend all had committed to opposing the pipeline. Olympic planned to run the line east of Duvall and Carnation and through North Bend.
A Duvall-area map of the proposal shows the pipeline running south from the county line across Cherry Valley, crossing Cherry Creek. It would continue on about two miles east of Cedarcrest High School along 308th NE, then about one mile east of Stillwater Elementary School, crossing Harris Creek at Kelly Road. East of Carnation, the pipeline would have gone under the Tolt River.
"Assurances that we have been provided don't appear to be true," Goode told the council last week. She said her prior meetings with Olympic over the city's concerns about the pipeline passing through existing aquifers have focused heavily on the company's computer system to control leaks and detect corrosion.
"Clearly their computer system did not work," she said, citing concern over the apparent corrosion that existed on the damaged Bellingham pipeline.
Goode recommended to the council "to find a way to oppose the pipeline at least until Olympic can provide an effective leak detection system."
Goode said in a separate interview that the pipeline "cuts across several aquifers and will travel over and through ground that is highly susceptible to ground water contamination."
She added she is not particularly impressed with Olympic's emergency plan. "All they have given us is a list of emergency equipment," she said. "Any emergency would still be our problem."
The council would have voted on the matter at their next scheduled meeting.
On Friday, Olympic Pipe Line Co. officials dropped the proposal, saying the company needs to focus its efforts on the investigation of the explosion and fire in Bellingham.
"We have diverted all our resources to Bellingham as we attempt to find the cause of the leak and work with families in rebuilding trust and confidence in the pipeline," said Olympic official John Teriet.
Company officials said they had no choice but to drop the proposal after the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) declined to delay hearings on the proposal for the new pipeline. EFSEC is the state agency that governs the process and is responsible for reviewing the application and taking public comments.
After the Bellingham incident, EFSEC granted a two-week delay in the hearings, but last week refused the company's request for a continued delay.
The explosion did not stop Olympic Pipe Line Co. from appealing a recent North Bend City Council decision to ban interstate pipelines in the city. The company planned to run the pipeline under the Snoqualmie Valley Trail three blocks from the downtown area. North Bend had adopted the ordinance requiring pipelines to follow I-90 two months before the Bellingham explosion.
Teriet declined to call the appeal a lawsuit against the city. "We are filing a motion to reject the decision," he said. "It is just part of the appeal process."
North Bend received the appeal papers four days after the Bellingham explosion.
Shortly after the blast, the state Parks and Recreation Commission denied the company's application to cross parts of the Ginkgo Petrified Forest and Iron Horse and Olallie state parks in the Cascades.
Olympic spokesperson Robin Herberger said last week that the company has not yet found a cause for the leak and has been unable to look at the pipeline due to the existence of water pipes in the area.
"We expect to remove the part on Saturday," she said. "Then the NTSB will seal it into a box and take it to a lab in D.C. for study."
Referring to reports of a "gouge" or "wrinkle" found in the line in 1996, she said the gouge was very "minute." But a Seattle Times report last Thursday said federal investigators believe the weak spot and a faulty valve to be the culprits.
The news report stated that problems began when Olympic's computer crashed in the control room in Renton. Then a valve slammed shut 20 miles south of Bellingham, causing pressure to soar in the pipeline, the report stated. The line then burst at the weakest point at Whatcom Falls Park, sending a river of gasoline into Whatcom Creek.
Officials estimate that 277,000 gallons of fuel leaked out of the pipeline before the blast. It was determined that a plastic fireplace lighter the two younger boys were playing with ignited the fuel.

Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Hudson, Colin Egglesfield PG-13 |
"Sometimes good people do bad things," says Ethan (John Krasinski), summing up how perpetual doormat Rachel (Goodwin) could betray her vapid, selfish best friend Darcy (Hudson) with Darcy's fiance, Dex (Egglesfield). That's right: The good girl is cheating with the bad girl's guy. If that sounds complicated, it's because Something Borrowed, based on Emily Giffin's bestseller, aims for something deeper than the generic rom-com. We root for the cosmically meant-to-be Dex and Rachel while hating their deception. It's not all heavy, though. Goodwin and Egglesfield have real chemistry, while Hudson, Krasinski and Steve Howey (as Dex's waggish buddy Marcus) are hilarious. Besides, it's nice to see a film put as much emphasis on a female friendship as it does on their love lives.
Jumping the Broom
Paula Patton, Laz Alonso, Angela Bassett | PG-13 |
As an African-American newlywed, I'm relieved to see a wedding movie with people of color that (mostly) gets it right. Drama threatens Jason (Alonso) and Sabrina's (Patton) nuptials at her pad on Martha's Vineyard: Her wealthy parents (Bassett and Brian Stokes Mitchell) are bickering, his postal worker mom (Loretta Devine) hates rich people, and the wedding planner (the fantastically funny Julie Bowen) is a mess. To top it off, Jason and Sabrina haven't made it past third base, thanks to Sabrina's pact with God. The religious talk is a bit heavy (Bishop T.D. Jakes is a producer), but never gets in the way of a good joke. And Jumping has plenty, even as it tackles class issues bubbling up like champagne.
The Beaver
Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, Anton Yelchin PG-13 |
Forget his real life. In this movie, Gibson has a puppet that's funny, cocky and talks like Michael Caine-and that's plenty to chew on. Suicidally depressed, Walter (Gibson) uses his "therapy puppet" to interact with the world. But why does the world put up with it? Walter's wife (Foster, who also directed) never even calls his doctor. (How director Foster made actress Foster do a love scene with Gibson and the beaver, I'll never know.) That said, the film is boldly original. Gibson delivers in a tricky, tragicomic role, and Yelchin shines as Walter's miserable son.

The Associated Press: Down by six points to Seton Hall almost midway through the second half, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim called a timeout and reminded his team that they were playing a Big East Conference game, and it was time to get physical.
The message from the boss was heard loud and clear.
Post-Standard's Donna Ditota @PSbasketball: This just in: Wes Johnson with 20 points and 19 -- yes, 19 -- rebounds. DD
Andy Katz of ESPN: Impressive win for Syracuse. Top four teams in the country are separating: Texas, KU, Syr and Kentucky. Seton Hall needed to split WVA-SU.
Dick Vitale: Syracuse finds away to win on the vs Seton Hall-tough game in Big East but Cuse has many options!
Jeff Goodman at FoxSports.com: Syracuse stays perfect & Wesley Johnson cements his place as stiffest competition to John Wall for National POY with 20 pts, 19 reb., 5 biks
Brendan Prunty at the Star-Ledger: Not even Hazell's 38 points could save the Pirates (9-3) down the stretch from a lethal combination of poor shots and missed free-throws. Not helping matters were 20 points from Orange forward Wesley Johnson to lead Syracuse (13-0).
From the bloggers:
Brent "Axeman" Axe: Nice win for Syracuse. Wes Johnson. Um yeah, he's pretty good, and the Big East is already in mid-season form. You gotta love it.
Gonzo Ball: The Pirates have seen two of the nation's best squads in one week and despite taking an L for each game, the Pirates have showed fight. 0-2 isn't insurmontable by any means, this team WILL rebound.

FRUITLAND TOWNSHIP -- Township Treasurer Debbie Boyer has been reprimanded for misuse of her township computer and relieved of her network administrator duties following an investigation.
The township's board of trustees recently approved a resolution to create written policies regarding personal use of township equipment after an investigation by a board subcommittee found that Boyer used the computer system to store hundreds of photos unrelated to township business, including family portraits, nature scenes, and animals, without authorization.
Working with IT Right, the computer company that manages the township's computer system and backs up its computerized records, officials learned there was a price list and advertising flier for Debbie's Outdoor Digital Photography services, and chunks of missing data wiped from the network while Boyer served as the township's network administrator. Boyer also had photo-editing software installed on her township computer.
Boyer, a Republican, ran unopposed in November and is beginning her second elected term. She was appointed to the post in April 2001, and won in November 2004. Boyer served as the township's network administrator for several years.
She said she believes the issue has been blown out of proportion.
"It wasn't hurting anything, and it didn't cost the taxpayers any money," she said. "I'm going to continue to do my job."
Boyer was questioned by the board of trustees in June, which led to the resolution and reprimand. Boyer abstained during the vote at the township's June meeting.
She said that during her tenure as an employee, and now as an elected official, there have not been any policies in place regarding use of township office equipment and computers for personal reasons.
When questioned, she said she never owned or operated a photography business. She also denied using the township computer system in such a business. She said she took pictures for friends, and they had to pay for the photos, according to the network access subcommittee's investigation report.
She stated she used her township computer as a "pass-through vehicle" for the photos, creating them at home and then e-mailing them to her township computer because she said she was at the township more than she was at home.
The resolution directs Boyer to discontinue all such activities immediately and states she exercised poor judgment. Boyer no longer has access to the administrative password for the computer network.
Supervisor Sam St. Amour, Clerk Karolyn Rillema, and Trustee Jan Deur, all elected in November, along with Township Attorney Robert Eklund, served on the special board-appointed subcommittee. The subcommittee began investigating the matter in April.
The review began in large part due to Boyer's refusal to provide other elected officials with access to security passwords and certain folders on the township computer system, which raised questions about the content of the folders and the propriety of the records being kept, St. Amour said.
The subcommittee requested a backup of the computerized township records from the early part of November 2008. However, IT Right was unable to restore data from the early part of November. The oldest completed backup IT Right could produce from Boyer's folders was from Feb. 9.
In their letter to the township regarding the missing data, IT Right stated:
"I am unable to restore its complete contents as of the first part of November. This is abnormal for us, and I am quite embarrassed. ... The Boyer folder was prevented from being backed up due to issues with the security or rights on it."
Other issues that came to light during the investigation:
• Boyer asked IT Right to do a "wipe and reload" of her computer on July 15, 2008, and the former clerk and supervisor's computers on Nov. 19, 2008, after the fall election. Boyer saved the folders and correspondence contained in those computers but did not offer them to the new supervisor and clerk. Boyer said she was trying to do the new officials a favor by cleaning their computers so they would run faster.
• Boyer requested installation of a Virtual Private Network at her home, which allowed her unlimited access to the township computer system. The installation required two computer firewalls, one of which she purchased for $200 and the other purchased by the township for $500. The Virtual Private Network setup had the approval of the prior supervisor and clerk, but it did not go before the board of trustees. The firewall was approved as an expenditure by the board.
• Boyer maintained a list of all the township employees' and elected officials' passwords in one of her folders. She said she never used the passwords to monitor others' e-mail correspondence. However, she was aware that Deur had changed his password although he never told her that he changed it. Also, when St. Amour asked for her password in April, she stated that she did not intend to share her password with any other township official. This was in response to a situation where she had a folder that was password-protected from anyone else in the township.

"When we first joined the project there was a script that was a live-action sort of Romancing the Stone kind of adventure," songwriter Kristen Anderson-Lopez tells PEOPLE about working on what would go on to become the Oscar-winning animated Disney film and the highest-grossing animated film of all time. It is now available on Blu-Ray/DVD.
Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen, Frozen had a long road to the big screen that included many rewrites and changes.
"We tried writing a couple of songs for that [original script] but it was sort of like tuna and chocolate. It just wasn't a script that was singing," says Anderson-Lopez. "But Disney wanted a musical, so we set a daily meeting from noon to 2 p.m. with the story team that lasted for two years."
Among the changes discussed were the true intentions of Idina Menzel's character, Elsa. This was a debate that was still going strong even as Anderson-Lopez and her husband, Robert Lopez, were tasked with writing what would become the film's breakout, Oscar-winning song "Let It Go."
"We were still like, 'Is she a villain? Is she not a villain?' All we knew was that Elsa's powers were going to come out and she was going to be chased up a mountain and transform into the Snow Queen," says Anderson-Lopez.
"We just put ourselves in the mindset of what it would feel like having to leave everything and everyone you know behind but getting the great release of letting go of your powers. Once the hook 'let it go' came out, we wrote it in about one-and-a-half days."
And the song changed the film forever.
"We wrote the song and sent it to [the movie's directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee], and they said, 'We're going to have to rewrite the entire script,' " Anderson-Lopez says of "Let It Go," which has become the first Disney song to crack the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 since Vanessa Williams's "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas. "We are so grateful to them for doing that."

I'm pretty proud of myself. I stuck to my Primal treats, though I did eat A LOT OF THEM.
I did discover my body doesn't really like dairy, even if it is goat milk or organic eggnog. Oh well. There's still cheese.
Well I mostly stayed primal today EXCEPT I ate THREE gingerbread cookies. I love gingerbread and have been thinking about it all month or maybe longer... a friend made some from scratch and they were GREAT so I indulged. Much better than making a batch and eating half of it, too. haha.
Eating lots but still hungry? Eat more fat. Mid-day sluggishness? Eat more fat. Feeling depressed or irritable? Eat more fat. People think you've developed an eating disorder? Eat more fat... in front of them.

Worst part of this holiday season for me had nothing to do with "cheating." I tried people's desert concoctions in moderation.
My problem has to do with argumentative family members. I was planning on not talking anything PB or low-carb related tonight at the two parties I attended with my family but...
At the first party, one of my sort-of-cousins (not really sure how she's related to me if at all) points out that I look like I've lost a lot of weight. I thank her and she asks me how I did it. I tell her some of the PB basics (no grain, low carb, eating real foods/fats/oils) and she promptly predicts that I will gain it all back. Kind of taken aback, I ask her how she's reached this conclusion. She tells me she knows a person who tried it (I'm assuming she means an Atkins-esque diet) and then gained it all back after she stopped. I told her it's BECAUSE she stopped. She continued on telling me that what I was doing was wrong.... I don't remember much of the rest of the conversation but I remember that I brought up how it's based on evolutionary science etc and made a joke about maybe she doesn't believe what I'm telling her because she thinks the world is 6000 years old. Then I remembered that we had previously had an argument about religion at another family get-together. She doesn't believe in evolution and does think the world is 6000 years old. (No offense to any holders of this belief.) The conversation went nowhere and got me all riled up when I had planned to keep the PB out of conversations for the night. (I love what the PB has done for me and having a large amount of overweight and obese family members, I bring it or some of its tenets up when a chance presents itself. I get into lengthy discussions that always end in an "agree to disagree" type of deal... so I wanted to avoid that tonight.)
I should mention that she is probably about 5'5" and easily 200+ lbs and only getting heavier but apparently she's a nutritional expert now!
At the next party, ended up getting into a discussion about cardio and carbs with a cousin who is addicted to chronic cardio and another cousin who is addicted to bread, pasta, and rice. The cardio cousin seemed to take everything offensively even though I tread carefully so as not to offend. Can't win!
(Also got told that my IF schedule slows down my metabolism at this party.)
Anyway, got some great cooking gear for Christmas and will be using it to further my personal goals. I've learned, without a doubt, that no one else needs to know about how I'm losing weight and changing my life and, from now on, I will avoid health and nutrition discussions at whatever the cost.
I GORGED. Today was definitely a cheat day and if I consumed less that 5000 calories I would be very surprised! Ate turkey with all the trimmings, oatcakes, rye bread, lots of cheese, sweets, candies, butter biscuits, crackers, salmon, fudge, stuffing, whiskey, red wine, some carribean liquer, champagne. Yeah what a day, totally awesome, no regrets, lots of laughs, new friends made.
Going to do an IF day as normally I do friday's but just wasn't happening yesterday, then back to primal. Turned a few heads after maintaining my 6pack after all that food. It wasn't so much separate meals as it was a 10 hour long feast.
Oh lordy, the christmas puddings (yup - plural!) have hit, along with white sauces, trifle....
On the plus side, traditional turkey dinner is mostly primal friendly, and being a "help yourself" affair I could take one spud and lots of sprouts, instead of the normal way around!
We have guests though, and a family birthday too, so I'll "take the hit" rather than be seen refusing hospitality. Damage limitation being dodging breakfast (toast or cereal) and trying to minimise chocolate!
Got a game cookbook from a friend though, so looking forward to that!
Good luck everyone - at least we have the option of refusing, others aren't so lucky
I enjoyed my Christmas immensely. After a lunch of turkey with papaya chutney and a few cookies, I got my family (hubby and both adult kids) to take a hike with me at Annadel State Park. Ended up in a photo-finish sprint to the car with my 18 year old daughter.
Then I had some more turkey and cookies when we got home. I feel great this morning.
Major Cheating horror story here in Hong Kong !!
Cranberry Sauce with the turkey
Steamed Christmas Pudding with English Clotted Cream
made by ( my mum 75 years young )who flew all the way from Heathrow clutching it in her carry on so couldn't possibly refuse ist and it was delicious as always along with her Christmas Fruit Cake with Almond marzipan and icing sugar...a family tradition
About a dozen Quality Street chocolates (I focused on the blue wrapped coconut ones !)
Fasting tomorrow LOL
This has been more like Cheat Week for me. At work, I had pizza two days in a row (free lunch from one of the docs), plus a bunch of crackers with various spreads, plus some outrageous chocolate cake. My mom, sister and nephew came to my house on Christmas Eve and it was downhill from there: Christmas cookies, chocolates, pancakes on Christmas morning, stuffing, pumpkin pie. It has tasted great, and I am appreciative of all the goodies, but I can feel the difference - I feel and look bloated, and my energy level is way down. I have no one to blame but myself; it wouldn't have been very difficult to stay a lot more Primal, but..... it's Christmas! My family will be leaving tomorrow, and I will do my best to get back on track.

If you want to avoid the discussions around diet :-)
When they say you've lost weight or your looking fit and ask why, just say ' Oh I've been watching what I eat" they assume you've been watching calories/fat, and if they question why you are having 'steak' or whatever just say ' Oh today's a cheat day' or 'its a special day today'" It covers you whether you are eating crap or eating primal/paleo.

The common cat is the most available animal for the anatomy student in biology.

It is estimated that thousands of homeless children are living in Angola's capital. Products of war, Luanda's street children resort to begging and working small jobs in order to survive. Many are victims of sexual and physical abuse.
Organized and animated by Jorge Salazar, Programme Officer for the United Nations Volunteers programme (UNV) in Angola, the theme of IVD was the inclusion of children with the intent to create awareness of the problem's facing Luanda's street children. He and the UNV team visited various regions of the city to personally invite the children to the event.
UN Volunteers serving with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), church personnel and local volunteers participated in the day's events.
The children were entertained and treated to dinner, cakes, drinks and small presents. Pictures and a video captured the spirit of the day and heightened the children's sense of importance.
The event transformed the nature of the relationship between the children and the organizers in a positive way. It is hoped the interaction experienced during the day will be the first step towards a more structured volunteer project in support of Luanda's street children.

Work the Shell - Counting Words and Letters
I know I have been writing about the basics of working with variables in shell scripts, but I'm going to diverge and address a recent query I received. Okay? (And, hey, write to me.)
"Dear Dave, I seek an edge when I next play Hangman or other word games. I want to know what words are most common in the English language and what letters are most common in written material too. If you can show how to do that as a shell script, it'd be useful for your column, but if not, can you point me to an on-line resource? Thanks, Mike R."
Okay, I can tell you up front, Mike, that the secret to playing Hangman is to ensure that you have sufficient guesses to get at least 30% of the letters before you're in great peril. Oh, that's not what you seek, is it? The first letter to guess, always, is E, which is the most common letter in the English language. If you have a Scrabble set, you also can figure out the frequency of letters, because the points for individual letters are inversely proportional to their frequency. That is, E is worth one point, while the Q and Z—two very uncommon letters in English—are worth ten points each.
But, let's work on a shell script to verify and prove all this, shall we?
The first step is to find some written material to analyze. That's easily done by going to one of my favorite places on the Web, the Gutenberg Project. You can pop there too at www.gutenberg.org.
With thousands and thousands of books available in free, downloadable form, let's grab only three: Dracula by Bram Stoker, History of the United States by Charles A. Beard and Mary Ritter Beard, and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. They're all obviously a bit older, but that's okay for our purposes. To make life easy, I'll download them as plain text and leave the geeky introduction to the Gutenberg Project at the top of each file too, just for more word variation and, well, because I'm lazy. Okay with you, dear reader?
Here's a quick heads up on the three:
$ wc *txt 16624 163798 874627 dracula.txt 24398 209289 1332539 history-united-states.txt 13426 124576 717558 pride-prejudice.txt 54448 497663 2924724 total
Okay, so we have 54,448 lines of text, representing 497,663 words and 2,924,724 characters. That's a lot of text.
The key to figuring out any of our desired statistics is to realize that the basic strategy we need to use is to break the content down into smaller pieces, sort them, and then use the great uniq -c capability, which de-dupes the input stream, counting frequency as it goes. As a shell pipe, we're talking about sort | uniq -c, coupled with whatever command we need to break down the individual entities.
For this task, I'm going to use tr, like this, to convert spaces to newlines:
$ cat *txt | tr ' ' '\ ' | head The Project Gutenberg EBook of Dracula, by Bram Stoker
Okay, so what happens when we actually unleash the beast on all 54,448 lines of our combined text?
$ cat *txt | tr ' ' '\ > ' | wc -l 526104
That's strange. Somehow I would expect that breaking down every line by space delimiter should be fairly close to the word count of wc, but most likely the document has punctuation like "the end. The next" where a double space becomes two, not one line. No worries, though, it'll all vanish once we take the next step.
Now that we have the ability to break down our documents into individual words, let's sort and "uniq" it to see what we see:
$ cat *txt | tr ' ' '\ ' | sort | uniq | wc -l 52407
But, that's not right. Do you know why?
If you said, "Dude! You need to account for capitalization!", you'd be on the right track. In fact, we need to transliterate everything to lowercase. We also need to strip out all the punctuation as well, because right now it's counting "cat," and "cat" as two different words—not good.
First off, transliteration is best done with a character group rather than with a letter range. In tr, it's a bit funky with the [::] notation:
$ echo "Hello" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' hello
Stripping out punctuation is a wee bit trickier, but not much. Again, we can use a character class in tr:
$ echo "this, and? that! for sure." | tr -d '[:punct:]' this and that for sure
Coolness, eh? I bet you didn't know you could do that! Now, let's put it all together:
$ cat *txt | tr ' ' '\ ' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | tr -d '[:punct:]' | sort | uniq | wc -l 28855
So, that chops it down from 52,407 to 28,855—makes sense to me. One more transform is needed though. Let's strip out all lines that don't contain alphabetic characters to eliminate digits. That can be done with a simple grep -v '[^a-z]'":
$ cat *txt | tr ' ' '\ ' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | tr -d '[:punct:]' | grep -v '[^a-z]' | sort | uniq | wc -l 19,820
If you analyze only Dracula, by the way, it turns out that the entire book has only 9,434 unique words. Useful, eh?
Now, finally, let's tweak things just a bit and see the ten most common words in this corpus:
$ cat *txt | tr ' ' '\ ' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | tr -d '[:punct:]' | grep -v '[^a-z]' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head 29247 the 19925 16995 of 14715 and 13010 to 9293 in 7894 a 6474 i 5724 was 5206 that
And, now you know.
Next month, I'll wrap this up by showing how you can analyze individual letter occurrences too, and finally, I'll offer a way to find some great Hangman words for stumping your friends.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

One of 26 Roman Catholic priests suspended from ministry last year for possible child misconduct has been criminally charged with sexually assaulting a 10-year-old altar boy in a Northeast Philadelphia church in 1997.
The Rev. Andrew McCormick, 56, was arrested at his parents' Pottstown home Thursday night. He was ordered held on $150,000 bail at an arraignment Friday.
District Attorney Seth Williams said at a news conference that McCormick had started "grooming" the boy in the fall of 1997, while serving at St. John Cantius parish in Bridesburg, and sexually assaulted him that December. He said it appeared that the priest had groomed a number of altar boys there, and he urged any other abuse victims to come forward.

OSHA Blood Borne Pathogens
This 90-minute webinar will describe and explain the steps required to establish and put in place a blood borne pathogen program that is in compliance with OSHA's requirements.
Product ID: 702364
Training Level: Basic
Why Should You Attend:
All employers, to one degree or another, need to be aware of the requirements of the OSHA blood borne pathogen standard. Employers, whether they be health care institutions, educational institutions or retail facilities, need to be prepared to one degree or another for dealing with exposure to potentially hazardous bodily fluids, especially blood.
This session will provide an overview of the types of situations that can cause exposure to blood borne pathogens, as well as means of protecting and training workers who may be exposed. The presenter describe and explain the steps required to establish and put in place, at your facility, a blood borne pathogen program that is in compliance with OSHA's requirements.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- What are blood borne pathogens.
- Typical types of occupational exposure.
- What diseases may result from exposure to blood borne pathogens.
- What are other potentially infectious materials.
- Requirements for reporting and tracking blood borne pathogen injuries.
- Protective methods.
- Training requirements.
Who will Benefit:
This webinar is designed to be sufficiently basic that non-safety professionals and lawyers, like managers, HR personnel, facility managers, and others assigned to handle safety and health matters and OSHA inspections.
- Safety professionals
- Consultants
- Managers
- Supervisors
Dr. Kenneth S. Weinberg, B.A., M.Sc. Ph.D. is an independent consultant who, prior to entering independent practice, worked as the Director of Safety in a large teaching hospital in the Boston Area. Both as a consultant and as a safety director, he has dealt with the issues related to exposures in the workplace to blood borne pathogens. He has also trained workers on the hazards of exposure to these potentially infectious materials, and how to protect themselves from such exposures. He has also advised employers and workers on the selection and proper use of personal protective equipment in these circumstances. In addition, Dr. Weinberg has written several books on the topic of safety and dealing with OSHA.
Topic Background:
Exposure to blood borne pathogens has long been recognized as a potential hazard, not merely to health care workers, but to others who deal with the public, as well. Teachers, clerks, those involved in manufacturing, police, and firefighters to name a few have potential for exposure. In addition, even if your job does not involve health care or health care related work, you need to know how to protect yourself from exposure to blood borne pathogens and what the potential risks of exposure may be. Some workers may also have responsibility for cleaning up locations where employees or others were cut, lacerated or injured. These personnel should have the basic knowledge of how to properly clean such locations while protecting themselves from exposure to blood or bodily fluids.

Hazard Recognition Techniques That Deliver Measurable Results Webinar on Sure Fire Safety Manuals Managing OSHA Inspections and Accident Investigations 3-hr Virtual Seminar: OSHA Recordkeeping Compliance


text:
An oil and natural gas production platform exploded in flames Thursday morning, sending 13 workers on board plunging into the Gulf of Mexico and touching raw nerves about the safety of offshore energy operations in the wake of the BP spill.
But none of the 13 workers sustained serious injury, and by the end of the day Thursday, it appeared catastrophe had been averted and that early comparisons to BP's April 20 disaster were unjustified.
A passing service helicopter noticed a large fire on Mariner Energy's Platform A in Vermilion Block 380, 102 miles off the Louisiana coast, at 9:19 a.m. The cause of the explosion was unknown, but Mariner Energy said in a statement that the crew was able to shut all seven oil and gas wells that fed the production operation.
The Coast Guard is investigating to find out how the fire started. Gov. Bobby Jindal said at a news conference in Houma that 100 barrels of crude oil stored on the platform burned for about four hours Thursday morning.
The question of whether any oil would spill from the Mariner Energy platform dominated early reports Thursday. The rig owners quickly said workers had succeeded in shutting in the seven producing wells and reported seeing no sign of oil during an initial fly-over. But around midday, the Coast Guard confirmed a mile-long sheen of some kind of fuel on the water's surface at the accident site.
A few hours later, the Coast Guard reversed itself when Capt. Peter Troedsson stood at a news conference in downtown New Orleans and said there was no visible sheen. He blamed the initial account on reports from Mariner Energy.
With national and international attention still squarely fixed on the BP disaster and its emerging lessons and devastating impact, parallels between the two incidents were quickly drawn in the news media and in Washington. Thursday's accident occurred just 210 miles west of the BP well that blew in April, killing 11 rig workers and setting off the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
But the two incidents could hardly have been more different. The Mariner Energy fire occurred on a fixed production platform that wasn't involved in any active drilling and was anchored in 340 feet of water. The incident was essentially over in a few hours. The Deepwater Horizon rig was a floating vessel that burned for two days in April, suffered a blowout of a well nearly a mile below the Gulf's surface and created an oil leak that spewed thousands of barrels of crude daily for three months.
Also, the Mariner Energy platform's production operations were not affected by the drilling moratorium imposed by President Barack Obama in May.
"The platform was authorized to produce oil and gas at this water depth, so it wasn't involved in the current suspension (of drilling operations) or the requirements outlined in the notice to lessees," said Eileen Angelico, a spokeswoman for the Interior Department's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement.
Still, that didn't stop environmental groups and members of Congress from saying Thursday's fire made their case for extending the drilling ban. Almost immediately, U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., and the Sierra Club released statements calling for the moratorium to continue based on what Grijalva said was Thursday's "starkest possible reminder that oil rigs in this country are not safe."
Oil industry leaders and Louisiana politicians, who have complained that the six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling will cripple the coastal economy and put a crimp on the nation's energy resources, braced for a new fight.
"It's certainly disheartening, and it is going to be yet another challenge for the industry," said Chris John, president of the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association. "We were making some progress on the moratorium. This certainly will complicate matters."
While the moratorium did not affect the platform that burned Thursday, Mariner Energy has been a vocal opponent of the drilling ban. On Wednesday, The Financial Times quoted a Mariner Energy employee, Barbara Dianne Hagood, at a rally in Washington accusing the Obama administration of "trying to break us."
If comparisons to the Macondo disaster were overwrought, federal accident data show that Thursday's incident was not just an ordinary rig or platform fire. There have been more than 100 fires and explosions reported to offshore regulators each of the last four years, but it's been more than three years since a significant fire forced personnel to evacuate. Only a handful of fires each year cause more than $25,000 in structural damage.
Mariner Energy had paid $65,000 in fines for three violations of federal regulations for their Gulf of Mexico operations, federal records show. Federal incident reports show that the platform at Vermilion Block 380 has had at least four accidents since 2000, two of them fires. Two of them occurred before Mariner Energy bought the rig, the records show.
Another oil company, Apache Corp., announced in April that it would pay $2.7 billion to merge with Mariner, but the deal has not been completed.
Thursday's event was certainly significant for the 13 workers who had to float in open, choppy seas for two hours before they were rescued. Ten of the 13 workers were taken to Terrebonne General Medical Center in Houma at 2:30 p.m., and three others came later in the day. Sunburns appeared to be the worst of their injuries, the governor said.
"They didn't have any visible injuries, they were in good spirits and were looking forward to going home," Jindal said. "One of them has a child who has a birthday tomorrow, and I told him there are easier ways to come home for his child's birthday party."
He said the 13 workers had only 12 life-saving devices, so one worker was held afloat by others, giving first responders the mistaken impression that he was hurt.
Sitting outside the hospital, a girlfriend of one of the workers excitedly told a friend about his encounter with the governor.
"He was standing there in a gown with little booties on his feet, talking to Bobby Jindal. I couldn't believe it," said the woman, who declined to comment about the incident.
Six of those on the platform were blasting paint and rust while the others were doing regular oil-field work, Jindal said.
But "it's way too early to speculate on a cause," Jindal said.

Catherine Rampell: Don't knock Chelsea Clinton's fees
Talons drawn, the media have descended upon Chelsea Clinton. Again.
Not for her frizzy hair, now smoothed with a killer blowout, or for that preteen metal mouth, now braces-free and pearly white.
This time the attacks are over how much money she makes -- for her network television fluff pieces and well-attended gigs on the lecture circuit -- despite her stick-thin r�sum�.
"The former first daughter has never run for office, held a public policy job or done philanthropic work outside her family business," sneered the New York Daily News. "But that hasn't stopped the speaking fees from rolling in -- along with a reported $600,000 salary as 'special correspondent' for NBC News."
Likewise, upon learning that Clinton Fille pulls in $75,000 per speaking engagement, the New York Times' Maureen Dowd asked, "Why on earth is she worth that much money? Why, given her dabbling in management consulting, hedge-funding and coattail-riding, is an hour of her time valued at an amount that most Americans her age don't make in a year?"
To which my reaction is: Since when do you need talent or skills to be a well-paid celebrity?
Lest there be any confusion, most compensation -- but especially compensation that's accompanied by a flock of flashbulbs -- is determined not by some intrinsic measure of worldly achievement or moral worth but by what the market will bear.
Witness famous-for-being-famous reality star Kim Kardashian.
Kardashian vastly out-earns Clinton and more accomplished public figures such as Nobel laureate Toni Morrison. The new Mrs. Kanye West charges $100,000 per appearance, according to the fine celebrity journalists at OK! magazine, and at those gigs no one even expects her to deliver prepared remarks on eradicating waterborne illnesses or racial tensions.
On some occasions, Kardashian has commanded as much as $500,000, her reported payout for attending the recent Vienna Opera Ball. It's not clear what talents Kardashian possesses that make her "worth" $500,000 per appearance, except maybe a talent for identifying people willing to pay her $500,000 per appearance.
It's more than that, of course. Hollywood celebrities like Kardashian -- and political personalities like Clinton or Sarah Palin -- can command big appearance fees because the organizations hiring them derive some value from the appearance, too.
Several years ago, I did a back-of-the-envelope calculation to determine why nightclubs might be paying "Jersey Shore" starlet Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi the head-scratchingly high fee of $25,000 merely to drink, dance and socialize for a few hours. It turned out that once you took into account the extra revenue streams that Snooki's name brought in -- from cover charges, bottle service and publicity in glossy magazines -- her attendance might actually have been worth several multiples of what she charged clubs.
The exact numbers probably no longer hold up today, because in recent years Snooki's star, if not her tan, has faded. But the same principles apply to other celebrities and political scions getting big bucks for appearances on TV and red-carpet events.
Whatever the optics, I don't begrudge Kardashian or Clinton the money they can make by charging the market rate for their services. I instead blame audiences for endowing these celebrity brands with value and cash-strapped state schools for wasting money on star appearances that could instead be used for scholarships.

Local organizations and churches have service opportunities and commemorative services planned this coming weekend to mark the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The MLK Jr. Walk will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday at the corner of Campbell Street and Memorial Avenue. Walkers will go a bit under a mile to the Lycoming College Recreation Center, 700 College Place, where AmeriCorps and STEP Inc. are coordinating the MLK Day of Service project.
"Volunteers will come together and assemble family packs, 600 is the goal, and they'll be distributed to all the sixth-graders in the Williamsport Area School District," said Vanessa Hunter, of the YWCA.
Volunteers will be served a complementary lunch at noon. Following lunch, speakers from AmeriCorps, Leadership Lycoming and Lycoming College, as well as State Rep. Rick Mirabito, D-Williamsport, will offer remarks on the significance of service. Musicians from the Uptown Music Collective will perform at 1 p.m.
"If families come and want to do the service project, kids can play within eyeshot - we'll have face painting and coloring and crafts and things like that," said Daryl Kern, AmeriCorps program director.
On Sunday, children from the Campbell Street Center's after-school program will conduct a special service at 11 a.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, 844 W. Fourth St., consisting of songs and reflections on the "I Have A Dream" speech. Cookies and coffee will follow the public event.

YOUNGSTOWN - It is a week one local family will always cherish, as moms, daughters, aunts, nieces and cousins completed their studies, most walking across the stage on the same day.
"Man, May couldn't get any better for the family," Rebecca Litowitz of Boardman said with a chuckle prior to Saturday's commencement ceremony at YSU. For Litowitz, her bachelor's degree in general studies was a long time coming. And walking hand in hand with her daughter, Addie, and her niece, Colleen Alflen of Niles, meant it could not have come at a better time.
"Through the years, every so often, we would talk about her going back to school, and it just never fit," said her husband, Pat.

Seven local women from the same family graduated this month, six from college and one from high school. Shown are five who graduated Saturday from Youngstown State University. From left, are Addie Litowitz and Rebecca Litowitz, who each earned bachelor's degrees; Heather Bayless, earning her master's in nursing; Colleen Alflen, who earned a bachelor's; and Heidi Alflen, who earned a master's in nursing.
Rebecca Litowitz started her academic journey at YSU in 1986, where she majored in music education. While she excelled in vocals, playing the piano was a challenge for her.
"For some people it's not hard, but for someone who only started playing piano when she went to college, it was difficult," she said.
She spent months and months practicing.
For her piano jury, she was required to read an open orchestral score - a piece that a conductor sees, she explained.
"They tell you to read three or four lines of that. I just couldn't do it," she said, and she failed her piano jury.
After that, she took a break from college life. She got married, had her daughter, and then "life happened."
"It's hard because once you get out of school and you start having kids ... it's hard to take time for yourself to do what you have to do. It's the hardest thing to walk away and not have that accomplished," she said.
Now, she is finishing what she set out to do more than 25 years later. And she's doing it with her family by her side.
Rebecca Litowitz received her bachelor's in general studies from YSU; her daughter, Addie, received a bachelor's in English from YSU; her niece, Colleen Alflen, received a bachelor's in respiratory care from YSU; her sisters-in-law, twin sisters, Heidi Alflen and Heather Bayless, received their master's in nursing from YSU; Bayless' daughter, Kayla, received her bachelor's in political science from the University of Akron; and Alflen's daughter, Cylie, is the Niles High School valedictorian and prom queen.
Cylie Alflen has also taken several classes at YSU. She was a recipient of a college scholarship and will be attending John Carroll University.
"She's beautiful, she's talented, she's the whole package. We're really proud of her," Rebecca Litowitz said.
Cylie Alflen said, "I'm happy for everyone. It's awesome to be graduating the same year as everyone else."
"My dad always supported me in high school and college, and he even made sure that we bought a piano so that we could practice at home. It was letting him down and letting myself down, those regrets," said Rebecca Litowitz, the first of her siblings to obtain her degree.
Pat Litowitz said, "It wasn't so much about the piece of paper, it was about an accomplishment."

Facebook already handles file transfer via Facebook message attachments, although it still can't be used to send and receive file with larger sizes. So this new service will enable you to send and receive bigger files between your friends more easily and safely just by using its drag and drop user interface. Pipe will arrive tomorrow on Facebook as a Beta version.
"We're starting on Facebook because it gives us viral reach, a native iOS version of Pipe is waiting in the wings, currently in alpha stage, and the plan is to port that over to Android soon after." said Simon Hossell, CEO of Pipe.

GRIDLEY was not cut up for razor
blades after she was decommissioned. She sat at MARAD near San
Francisco for over ten years but is now being broken up in Brownsville,
Texas. The picture below was taken in April 2004 and it looks as
if the bridge and upper level of CIC are gone. The ship on the

A sad
end for a proud lady!
Here are some notes on where
GRIDLEY spent the last ten years. "Stopped by the MARAD office
today to see what I could "see/learn." Got a couple of
pictures (attached) but the visit was otherwise not too useful. I'm
going to call the lady Monday who seemed the most squared away but
wasn't there today.You can see a grouping in the "row" of
"double enders" and "single enders" but GRIDLEY is
not really discernable. JOUETT and STANDLEY were named as being on the
row but I plan to get the exact order. Apparently one needs to be in a
boat to get a really good view. I could work on that through some
connections that I'd have to resurrect."

Andrew Smith, a North Augusta resident and Augusta Prep 10th grader, has been lending a helping hand at the Living History Park in an effort to aid the community and earn his Eagle Scout badge.
Andrew, the son of John and Suzanne Smith, is helping park chair Lynn Thompson create a 147-foot walkway, designed to help visitors at the site.
"I asked Ms. Thompson if she needed anything done at the park, and she showed me this walkway that needed to be done, and I said I'd get it done," Smith said. "It turned into more of a project than I thought it would, but nothing we really couldn't handle."
He has already put in several workdays at the site and plans to continue to work with other members of his scout troop, community volunteers, and the City of North Augusta to complete the project.
"We've had almost 60 tons of stone donated and 600 main block and 250 capstones. Everyone has been very generous in donating.
"Thompson described Andrew's project as being one of the park's long time "wishes," and one that would last for generations.
"He asked me what would help and I threw out three or four things we needed and this one, he said it would be here forever," Thompson said. "He figured it all out. He got help from all kinds of individuals. He's done all the contacting and raised all the money on his own."

How Former Boxer George Foreman Found God, Got Happy and Sold 50 Million Lean, Mean Little Grills
Ah yes, the grill: a modest little gadget nobody could sell until the amiable ex-boxer stepped in and made marketing history. In the eight years since he put his name on the Lean Mean Grilling Machine and taped a pioneering infomercial, Foreman, 54, has helped sell around 50 million units and has created a veritable cult of devotees. His association with the fat-reducing grill has been so lucrative that in 1999, Salton Inc., its manufacturer, gave him a lump sum of $137.5 million rather than continue to pay him royalties on ever-increasing sales. Foreman, who this year introduced his own line of grill-ready meat products, earned enough from the deal in 2002 to make him the third-highest-paid sports-celebrity endorser, behind only Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. "He is iconic, like Colonel Sanders," says Michael Schiferl, a media-relations expert. "You feel like he really likes the grill and believes in it. The personality he projects is what's driving this."
What makes his story even more remarkable is that early in his boxing career, Foreman was just about the last person any company would want as a spokesman. When he first won the heavyweight title in 1973, he was seen as a surly and incorrigible thug. "He was a guy who never smiled," says his lawyer and friend Henry Holmes. "He was feared and rejected by the public." After experiencing what he calls an epiphany, Foreman turned himself into a warm and lovable teddy bear—sort of like Mike Tyson suddenly acting like Fred Rogers. "This wasn't a personality change, it was a metamorphosis," says Holmes. "Now, when he walks into a room, he lights it up. He is successful because he transcends age and race."
Foreman's journey from misfit to icon has been filled with twists and surprises. Divorced four times before meeting his current wife, Mary, he has been happily married for nearly 20 years. The father of 10, he named all five of his sons George (they have different nicknames to cut down on the confusion). Retired from boxing for 10 years, he made a comeback and at age 45 claimed the heavyweight title again by knocking out 26-year-old Michael Moorer in 1994. "He won the sport's biggest prize on two occasions separated by more than 20 years," says Jim Lampley, like Foreman a boxing analyst for HBO. "No one has ever done anything like that."
Most amazing of all, perhaps, is his health. Retired for good in 1997 after 81 career matches, he has escaped the ravages of his sport. "The fight game, which is a very damaging thing, has not damaged him at all," says noted writer George Plimpton, who covered Foreman's epic Rumble-in-the-Jungle loss to Muhammad Ali in Zaire in 1974. "Of the two fighters, George is the one who came out of it okay."
Survival was the name of the game in the blighted inner suburbs of Houston where Foreman, the fifth of seven children, grew up. J.D. Foreman, a railroad worker, was often not around for his kids, and their mother, Nancy, also worked long hours cleaning homes. Young George "was big and mean, and most people were scared of him," says his sister Mary Dumas, 57. "He was a bully, but I think sometimes he was scared too."
As a teenager Foreman flirted with hard drinking and petty crime. "I was out there robbing people," he says, "and to do that I had to get drunk first." After dropping out of school at 16, he signed up with the Job Corps program and learned how to assemble electronics. It was then that he got great career advice from other kids in the program. "They'd say, 'Why don't you be a boxer if you're so tough?' " he recalls. "So I took the challenge."
Short on skills but fearless and powerful, Foreman won a gold medal at the 1968 Olympic Games. He fared well enough as a pro to land a fight against heavyweight champ Joe Frazier in 1973 and knocked him down six times in two rounds to win the title belt. Favored to beat the popular Ali a year later in Zaire, he was shocked when fans there cast him as the villain. Ali won by a knockout, sinking Foreman into a deep depression.
One night in 1977, after a listless loss to another fighter, he had a melt-down. "I had a vision I was dying," he says. His trainer suspected heat prostration, but to Foreman it was an epiphany—his moment of transformation. He promptly quit boxing, became an ordained minister and started his own church in Houston in 1978. He opened a youth center that now serves 400 kids a year and began cleaning up his personal life. "I made a lot of mistakes," says Foreman of his four ex-wives and several bad investments.
In 1987 money woes finally forced him out of his neutral corner. "I had only one option," he says. "I had to go back into boxing." Foreman won 24 fights before facing heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield in 1991. He didn't win, but this time around he was everybody's favorite. Beating Moorer in 1994 made him the oldest man ever to win the heavyweight championship.
The new, improved Foreman signed endorsement deals with Nike, McDonald's and several other companies before getting behind the grill. His success as a pitchman has helped him live out one of his childhood dreams. When he was 6, Foreman sat behind the wheel of a junkyard car and "made believe it was a beautiful sports car," he says. Now he slides into one of the 28 gleaming Bentleys, Ferraris and other flashy vehicles he keeps in an air-conditioned garage on the 40-acre spread just north of Houston where he and Mary are building a new 16,000-sq.-ft. home designed to resemble a Caribbean resort. "Look at me," he says with a booming laugh. "I'm still sitting in abandoned cars."
Foreman also preaches every Sunday, ministers to death-row inmates and uses the fat-draining grill he made famous just about every day. He now tips the scales at 230 lbs.—his fighting weight—despite years of overeating. "Growing up, I always felt deprived of food," he explains. "Now I've learned to enjoy food, but the right food."
It is just another impressive turn-around in a most unpredictable life. "I wasted a lot of time not being nice," he says. "The thing I covet more than anything is to be seen as the nicest guy in the world." You could say George Foreman has found his holy grill.

Garret Mountain in West Paterson, designated "an important bird area" by the National Audubon Society, is being threatened, environmental advocates say, according to a report in the Herald News.
The population of at least a dozen species at the preserve has dropped because of human encroachment, pollution, deer overpopulation and the growth of invasive plants, according to the local environmental group Friends of Garret Mountain, the paper reported.
Garret Mountain Reservation, which consists of 568 acres of forest, grasslands, streams and ponds, attracts thousands of visitors annually.
The preserve is home to more than 200 types of birds. Garret Mountain is also an important stopover for several migratory bird species such as vireos, swallows and flycatchers.

Welcome to my website.
The idea behind this venture is to bring together both strands of my work – sports journalism and authorship - in one accessible place for anyone to find.
I've been working as a cycling writer since 1988 and although much of my more recent output is on the internet in various places, a lot of that writing is sitting in cuttings files and back numbers of various magazines. As I work through it over the next few months and years more of it will appear here in the archive. As well as working as cycling correspondent at the Guardian, I have about a dozen books in print in various forms through translations etc: you can find out more about them here.

The pesticide-related problem that the average physician is most likely to face and about which he must take immediate and definitive action is acute poisoning due to occupational or accidental exposure or to suicidal ingestion.
Almost every pesticide can cause poisoning if it is swallowed. For many years and at least as late as 1959, the arsenicals caused more accidental deaths than any other group of pesticides. This is almost certainly due to the casualness with which they are still stored and the ease with which they can be found and ingested by children and other uninformed people. The arsenical pesticides have never been an important source of occupational disease. Among the newer pesticides, greatest attention has focused on the chlorinated hydrocarbon and the organic phosphorus insecticides. Although the chlorinated hydrocarbons have caused a moderate number of cases of accidental posioning, their record of occupational safety is generally good. In

How much does it cost to rent crutches from walgreens?
How do you know if you have poor circulation surrounded by lower legs? After standing on concrete all morning my calves hurtyou cant rent them from walgreens only buy them for 39.99
I've hear that it is a waste to redose on oxycodone too soon. Is this true?I didn't know you could rent crutches from Walgreens. I own always gotten mine from the hospital.
How long does it run for a sprained ankle to heal?Why rent? You can bring a real inexpensive set from the Salvation Army Stores or from the Goodwill Stores. Pick up you phone and ask for some price quotes. If you own insurance coverage, they should tell you what to do and where on earth to get them. If not, release your money and shop by phone. Best wishes
I keep on have a thick brown anal discharge, every year almost, what could it be?If you visited a hospital or doctors bureau they usually give you a couple if you cant afford them. A second hand store is also a honest and enexpensive way to progress as the user below mentioned. Wal mart i think sell them for 8 dollars or so. You'd probably spend more money renting them.
Why do we close our eyes when we sneeze?I live right behind a walgreens and im other playing with the crutches beside my gf there but yeah i dont come up with you can rent them. maybe buy them i estimate they cost like $20-35
weelchairs and those 4 legged crutches are cool:)

For the past two summers, it has taken an overwhelming outpouring of volunteer labor and donated supplies to get Guam's public schools ready for the next school year.

What if, for whatever reason, the school system doesn't get the needed level of volunteer work? What's the plan then? Read article

Meanwhile: Where have all the protesters gone? by Sam Graham-Felsen
The author laments the failure of his generation to actively protest against the Bush administration in the US and the loss of its ability to alter, or challenge, the status quo. It's not that young people do not care anymore. In fact, volunteering is at its all-time high in the US. But "the shift from activism to volunteerism reflects lack of faith in (this generation's) ability to affect broad social change". Do you agree? Read article

A little bit of help for anyone still looking for a Wii:
Look in the Target weekly ad every week. If the actual Wii console is IN the ad, the store WILL have Wiis when they open on Sunday morning.
(This is coming from a Target electronics employee, so trust me, it IS true.)
And this is true nationwide, for all Target stores. The number of Wiis may vary, but they WILL have some.
