I have received the shipment on 15/12/2012 at 16:.00 hrs. I have opened the courier which was sent through blue dart courier service in a closed packing.
After opening the pack i found that the charger device was integrated with only one output port where in the web it was mentioned that the device can Charge Two Devices Simultaneously. I felt very disappointed and i have called the customer care service. When there received the call voice answered and I have followed there instructions then the call got connected to csr. When the csr answered I have explained the problem but there was no response from the other side. Again i have called back and explained every point of my problem regarding the device. There told me that it a technical issue and there will call me after a movement and from that day i haven't received any call from them.

There is new information about a baby death on Milwaukee's south side Sunday.
The medical examiner's report said a 2-month-old boy was sleeping in a swing. At some point, the baby fell out and was found by the father face down on the floor not breathing.
The father told police he didn't turn the swing on and didn't recall putting the restraints on the infant.
The medical examiner said no trauma to the baby was found, and the cause of death is pending toxicology.

Today's recipe is the kind of recipe I love having in my repertoire for a busy weeknight. It's by no means a fancy meal, but it takes regular ingredients that are easy to keep on hand, it's quick to make and it tastes really good. What's not to love about that on a Wednesday night when you just want to get dinner on the table?
So… what is this recipe that I speak of? It's a deep dish pizza casserole. It's easy because it starts out with a crust made with crescent rolls. Then you make a quick sauce with ground beef and tomato sauce, layer it with some cheese over the crescent rolls and pop it in the oven. Easy…right? You could make this even quicker by assembling the dish earlier in the day. Then at dinner time all you have to do is bake it.
If your family likes other toppings on their pizza, you could change up the sauce. Try adding some more veggies, like green pepper and mushrooms or add some diced pepperoni and green olives. Whatever your family likes. Serve it with a tossed salad and you have a yummy satisfying dinner!
Easy Deep Dish Pizza Casserole
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper
- 1 lb ground beef (I used 93% lean)
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 pkg crescent rolls
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese (I used reduced fat)
- chopped fresh basil for garnish, if desired
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute for a few minutes until softened. Add garlic and saute for 1 more minute.
Add red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning and a little salt and pepper. Add ground beef, breaking up with a spoon and brown until no longer pink.
Stir in tomato sauce, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
While sauce simmers, coat a 9×13 pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with the crescent rolls, pinching seams together.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the crescent rolls,
Spread 1/2 of the sauce over the Parmesan. Top that with 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese.
Spread remaining sauce over the mozzarella and top with the remaining mozzarella.
Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Cool for a couple of minutes and sprinkle with chopped basil, if desired. Cut into slices and serve.

Amazing Avocados
Amazing Avocados
The conventional wisdom of which foods are good and which foods are bad is constantly changing. This is a subject I would like to address in future programs and on this blog. My first pick of 2006 are avocados. For quite some time, avocados have gotten a bad rap, unfairly I might add.
So many people think of avocados as a fat-laden luxury equivalent to mayonaise or even pork. The truth is that the fats found in avocado are heart healthy and an incredibly rich source of cholesterol lowering phytochemicals, similar to those found in olive oil. They are also packed with vitamins E, C, and B, folic acid, riboflavins, and loaded with fiber. The fats found in avocados help your body absorb beta carotene and lutein more efficently than eating carotenoid rich foods without avocado. Thirteen times more in fact.
Though some people fear consuming any fat, you must include heart healthy fats in your diet in order to efficently absord many nutrients. So skip the chips, cheese, fried fast foods, and enjoy one of life's great pleasures instead. Include avocados as part of your regular diet plan. Your palate and your body will thank you.
If I only need half or less of my avocado I leave the stone in the other half until I am ready to use it. I find this helps to stop the browning process and it lasts longer.
oh - make sure to scrape off the mayo before you use the rest of it! The oils in the mayonaise are what keeps it fresh. :P
My grandmother passed on the best trick for half-eaten avacados. Many times I will only use half an avacado for a sandwich or something. If you leave the pit in the other half, smear mayonaise over flesh of the avacado and then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, the other half will stay nice and green! I too am very happy to hear that avacados are good for you. :)
someone asked how to store avocados properly.after peeling them or scooping them out whole or in cubes,automatically they begin the browning process.i store my peeled avocados with saran wrap tucked down tightly over them,not just over the bowl.the less oxygen the fresher they will stay.hope this helps:O)
I actualy went out and bought some avocados after reading this and tasty it certanly was, i to have a blog on veggie recipies and welfare issues if any one wants to visit,http://leace.blogsource.com
I find that if I buy avocados when they are ripe and use them right away, they rae the best. I find that most stores have unripe ones. I feel the outside and find ones that are just soft, not mushy, and these turn out to be the best. A good ripe avocado is yellow with a green outer layer. With a good avocado it is easy from there.
Thanks for your great questions about avocados. The first thing, of course, is to try not to buy too many avocados if you don't plan on eating them all before storage becomes an issue. Another viewer brought up the fact that avocados can be expensive so it's great to buy them in quantity when they are on sale. So, here's what I do. Don't put them in the refridgerator. I store them in a cool , fairly dark place, away from other fruits, especialy bananas, and then use them everyday. Once avocados start turning overripe they move at warp speed to almost inedible. So every now and then just plan on an avocadofest.
I love your show so much! thank you for teaching us that our little friend, the tender and gentle avocado, is particularly sensitive to metal blades. I believe I have eaten guacamole in the past that had a distinct metallic flavor and now I know why! I hope we can all learn to be kind to the delicate avocado in the future. I happily look forward to all future episodes.
Toni, I stumbled upon your show for the first time yesterday morning and I am so thrilled I found you. I watched the episode where you made Fresh Salsa, Quacamole, corn and rice salad, etc. The Salsa looks fantastic and I am making it tonight and I can't wait to try it. I am a vegetarian and admit to being very strict with myself as far as fat, carb, sodium, etc. intake. Your cooking methods are what I have been looking for - lowfat, healthy, vegetarian. I have begun experimenting with cooking, and because of my strict diet, I am always searching for new recipes and ideas. I look forward to trying many of your recipes. FYI... on the website, the tv listing for NYC may not be accurate. I saw your show on Saturday morning on channel 13 or 21 (cannot remember). Your website does not list that time/channel - I do not want to miss you! Thank you Toni!
OH MY GOSH...I am so glad they are good for me. I just happened upon your site and read this and will be fowarding it to my sister (nurse) who gets on to me all the time for eating whole avocados. I just can't help it they are so good with tons of garlic powder, a little salt and lemon juice too! Yummy. I'm going to go eat another one....for my health!
Aren't they suppposed to be green inside? I bought one that turned out to be yellow.
I just bought five avacados for five dollars at Wild Oats today. I hope they're good cause I'm making up some Quacamole for bridge night.
The problem with avocados is that they are too expensive. The ones purchased in most stores tend to turn black inside before they ripen. I lived in Calif for many years and love avocados and you're right, they are good for you. What we need to do is buy a crate or 2 and split the cost! There are buyers groups around but none for vegetarians. Maybe it's time to start one!

March 17, 2010 - Rick Kozlowski
CHARLESTON - There's a lot of of blue and gold in the Charleston Civic Center Coliseum tonight - most of it being worn by Logan fans.
Hedgesville has its share of its student body in attendance, but five hours away is a lot different than just down the road from Charleston.
The Logan fans strolled the Charleston Town Centre pregame looking rather smug, with one of those "it's-just-another-game" look.
Meanwhile, state player of the year Noah Cottrill of Logan is wearing a mohawk with the Flying WV logo etched in the side of his head and a star on the other side.
I would be surprised if Hedgesville doesn't have a surprise for Logan in this game for which most are giving the Eagles little chance of winning.
A cause for concern for how the game goes for Hedgesville is the presence of an officiating crew from the Morgantown area, where the men in stripes call games as if it's a Big East encounter.

Practical Vehicle Equipment
By Richard J. Ashton, Chief of Police (Retired), Frederick, Maryland, and Grant/Technical Management Manager, International Association of Chiefs of Police, Alexandria, Virginia
n 1909 Chief J. H. Haager of Louisville, Kentucky, predicted that the automobile would revolutionize police work and have a profound impact on policing.1 The police were not the only ones making use of the automobile, however; the American public also was becoming increasingly more mobile, as evidenced by the increase in car registrations between 1900 and 1930 from 8,000 to almost 27 million.2 Haager's prediction became true and the automobile is now a major factor in everyone's life.
The performance requirements of police vehicles differ from those of consumer vehicless. Police officers are in their vehicles 10 times more than other drivers, are 1,000 times more likely to be parked at the side of the highway than civilian drivers, and are four times more likely to be involved in a crash than ordinary citizens.3 Moreover, a police vehicle is used in circumstances where high-energy crashes are likely to occur.
Production Protocols Safety
Base platforms for police vehicles are similar to those of consumer models, but manufacturers modify police vehicles to increase acceleration, top speed, drivetrain durability, brake capacity, longevity, and charging system output. They also add equipment, such as heavy-duty suspensions and stabilizer bars. But no uniform definition exists for vehicles sold with police packages. Each company determines its own design features, thus making it difficult to effect industry-wide changes. Departments need to consult with vehicle manufacturers when changing those items of equipment around which a police vehicle was engineered, such as tires, for any such change could compromise the operational safety of the vehicle.
Beyond initial police vehicle specifications, there are few guidelines available to either equipment manufacturers or installers of aftermarket equipment. Improperly designed and mounted equipment can become projectiles in crash situations and increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Safety equipment, such as occupant restraints and air bags, can malfunction or deploy improperly due to substandard equipment installations.
Aftermarket Equipment A great deal of thought goes into the safety design of today's vehicles; however, much of this work can quickly be negated by the improper installation or placement of aftermarket equipment in the police vehicle. Items improperly mounted or left unsecured in the interior of the police vehicle can present serious hazards to the vehicle's occupants in the event of a crash or rollover. These items include dashboard-mounted radar sets, laptop computers, equipment consoles, loose items on the rear package shelf or the back seat, shotguns in shotgun locks, in-car video cameras, and other protruding items. Items mounted on the dashboard improperly can be struck by a deploying air bag, in the event of a crash, and can become dislodged, striking and injuring the vehicle's occupants. The Florida Highway Patrol currently requires that all aftermarket installations in the passenger compartment of its vehicles withstand 30gs to prevent secondary impacts to its troopers during collisions. Every radar manufacturer offers a bracket that meets this standard.
When purchasing aftermarket police equipment, ask the manufacturer or the distributor to describe how the equipment was tested and what installation recommendations are available. Require equipment installers to consider carefully where and how each item of equipment is mounted in the interiors of vehicles to ensure that their installations will not impede the proper operation of safety belts or front or side air bag systems and installed equipment will not come loose and act as shrapnel in the event of collisions or rollovers or otherwise pose hazards to the driver or the passengers in the event of collision.
Air Bags With the advent of air bags on both the passenger and driver sides of modern patrol vehicles, and with the proliferation of other types of air bags, such as doormounted side air bags and ceiling-mounted air bags, the mounting of specialized police equipment becomes even more difficult. Under no circumstances should these safety devices ever be disconnected, unless the passenger side is disengaged under the condition that there is absolutely no possibility a passenger ever will be transported in the right front seat and procedures are in place to ensure it once again is operational upon resale of the vehicle. The radio and other equipment should be placed at locations where the officer can readily access them without taking his or her eyes off the road. If that is impossible, then the position selected should be slightly lower so that the officer's sense of touch can guide him or her to the the controls needed. Many police equipment manufacturers now produce mounting racks that they claim are compatible with air bags.
Prisoner Transport Partitions Equipping patrol vehicles with prisoner transport partitions (often referred to as transport cages) and roll bars provides safety for both the officers and any prisoner who is transported. Automotive engineers diagree about whether the installation of vehicle partitions adds needed rigidity to the vehicle or whether it defeats to some degree the vehicle's built-in crush zone, which is engineered to absorb a portion of the energy from an impact. It may be worth compromising the effectiveness of the crush zone somewhat to protect the officer from a prisoner who defeats the restraints and then attacks the officer while the vehicle is in motion. Prisoner transport partitions and side-curtain air bags are incompatible on the 2006 Chevrolet Impala, but both Chevrolet and Ford offer front-seat side-impact air bags that are compatible with prisoner transport partitions. Agencies considering the installation of prisoner transport partitions are encouraged to confer with vehicle manufacturers before installing them.
Items in the Trunk The trunk of the police car requires special attention, too. Typically, the trunk will contain a crowbar, a shovel, a fire extinguisher, measuring devices, flares, first-aid kits, radio transmitters, in-car video camera controllers, and a variety of other specialized pieces of equipment. Some of these items have sharp edges, are installed with bolts or screws that have sharp edges, or are installed insecurely. In the event of a rear-end collision or a sudden stop, sharp-edged or insecure items can be catapulted forward and can penetrate the passenger compartment or puncture the fuel tank or fuel line, causing injury to the vehicle's occupants or, in the case of ignition, producing a flash fire or an explosion.
Studies of rear-end collisions where the fuel systems caught fire have indicated that in as many as one in three of these incidents items improperly stored in the vehicle's trunk punctured the fuel tank, and in another one-third a combination of items from the trunk and vehicle components compromised the integrity of the vehicle's fuel system. Of police agencies surveyed by the Arizona CVPI Blue Ribbon Panel, 85 percent said they had no policies or procedures for packing equipment in the trunks of their police vehicles.6 Specific suggestions for making the trunk safer are available.
Planning for the Lowest Common Denominator When purchasing and installing vehicle markings and lighting systems, it is necessary to consider two factors:
Planning for the lowest common denominator requires considering the entire audience that the department wants its message to reach. One of the most critical parts of this audience includes those drivers who are impaired, elderly and confused, fatigued, distracted, and young and inexperienced. Also, a department must ensure its message can be seen during the worst possible viewing conditions, the dark and rainy night and the glaring sunshine.
Even experienced police officers observe that sometimes when traveling in their personal vehicles and approaching several police or other emergency vehicles stopped at the roadside while handling an incident, the overabundance of dazzling, flashing, and pulsating lights makes it difficult for them to determine what is occurring and what they need to do: either to stop or to move safely past the incident. Often, officers directing traffic in dark uniforms without the benefit of high-visibility safety apparel are virtually invisible to drivers but nevertheless are frustrated when their signals are ignored. In some cases, improperly aimed take-down or alley lights that blind oncoming traffic exacerbate these situations.
Some researchers feel that too much lighting may cause a driver to momentarily turn in the direction of the light (the so-called moth-to-flame effect) rather than steer clear of it. If this message confuses even experienced police officers, imagine what it does to the lowest common denominator who may be driving while impaired or legitimately confused.
In recent years, the more-is-better philosophy has governed police vehicle lighting, but it may not be the most effective way to transmit the department's message to its audience. In fact, police vehicles most likely need to send two different types of warnings. The moving police vehicle on an emergency run seeking clearance through traffic needs to say, in effect, "Move over and let me through," while the stopped police cruiser at the roadside needs to say, "There is a hazard in the road, so slow down and move away from me." Two different types of lighting may in fact be required to convey these two disparate messages. Each situation requires that a single, clear message be sent, telling drivers what they are expected to do, because motorist-confusion can place officers at unnecessary risk.
State Patrol Studies The Florida Highway Patrol and the Arizona Department of Public Safety have conducted experiments with emergency lighting and have made changes to their lighting systems based on the results of these studies. Research in Arizona favored the use of red and blue lights in conjunction with amber lights. That agency also favors rotating halogen lights over flashing strobes or LEDs (light emitting diodes) and multiple instead of single beams. Newer lighting technologies, such as LEDs, seem to hold considerable promise both for visibility without creating glare and for low current consumption where battery drain is a consideration. Photocells that sense the intensity of ambient light and modify the brightness of lights accordingly, can be helpful. Instructing officers to reduce the intensity of strobe lights when parked at the roadside, especially on dark, rainy nights, can also help reduce motorist confusion.
The California Highway Patrol has an admirable roadside safety record, despite having thousands of cruisers make millions of motor vehicle stops a year on some of the most highly congested and heavily traveled highways in the United States. It favors a minimalist approach to lighting: once the vehicle has been pulled over, only four-way flashers and lights to the rear are used.
Lighting Systems When attempting to clear traffic on an emergency run, police vehicle lights should feature patterns of light intensity and flashing or pulsating that will quickly catch the motorist's eye without blinding or confusing the motorist. Here is a case where more may actually be better, as long as the message being sent to the lowest common denominator is consistent and simplifies the driver's task of judging the size, speed, and direction of the oncoming emergency vehicle. Thought must also be given to the height of the warning device. It must be positioned high enough that it can be seen in a line of traffic yet low enough to be visible in the motorist's inside rearview mirror, bearing in mind that the traffic mix includes low sports cars and tall SUVs. However, grill-mounted lights, or those mounted on the backs of outside rearview mirrors, may be used to supplement roof lights to compensate for any loss of visibility.
Strobe Lights: Many departments that patrol areas experiencing considerable fog, rain, or other inclement weather favor strobe lights mounted on the exterior of vehicles. Strobe lights draw less current and are easier on batteries than halogen bulbs. However, unless strobe lights are properly aligned, they can temporarily blind both motorists and officers, and the flashes can interfere with certain sobriety tests. There also have been concerns that strobe lights flashing at quicker rates may trigger seizure-type disorders in some individuals. Devices are available to control the intensity of strobe lights.
Rotating and Flashing Lights: Any type of flashing light, including strobe lights, appears to be most effective when its pattern varies to some degree. Tests indicate that red lights are more visible in the daytime and that blue is more visible at night.
In most jurisdictions, state law controls the color of emergency lights and allocates certain colors to specific emergency services to help drivers distinguish between law enforcement, fire, emergency medical, and highway maintenance vehicles and wreckers.
Fiber-Optic Lights: The availability of fiber optics has made it possible to produce a variety of compact emergency lights that can be mounted in the rear window, on exterior rearview mirrors, and over the front windshield of police vehicles. These lights do not seem to produce the same amount of glare as strobe lights. Like strobe lights, they do not require a lot of electrical current to operate and seem to be very effective warning devices.
Takedown and Alley Lights: These lights, when mounted on a cruiser's light bar, enable officers to illuminate the interiors of vehicles during traffic stops, or the areas to the right and left of the police vehicle when checking alleys or commercial establishments. Great care must be taken in the installation of takedown lights to ensure that those lights will not blind oncoming motorists during roadside traffic stops. It is noteworthy that the Florida Highway Patrol activates simultaneously all of the forward-facing red and blue LEDs on its new lightbar, which translates into a nonglare off-white presentation the entire length of the lightbar.
Vehicle Markings There are many schools of thought regarding the painting, striping, and coloring of police vehicles. Most agencies strive for distinctiveness: departments want their vehicles to be readily identified by the public and to instill a sense of pride in the department and the community. But safety should take precedence over distinctiveness. Installing high-quality reflectorized markings are an excellent way to increase a vehicle's conspicuity.
Striping should be of a highly reflective variety. The reflectorized areas should be large enough to command motorists' immediate attention; the Arizona DPS used all of the available bumper and trunk space as a billboard, not constraining its efforts to the size and quality of the reflectorized material used in the past. On the rear bumper of the police vehicle, an inverted chevron design similar to a highway barricade transmits the singular message to motorists that there is a hazard in the road ahead, and to drive safely around it.
On the sides of vehicles, it is most effective to outline the doors or the window frames with high-quality reflective materials so that drivers approaching from an angle recognize that what they are seeing is another vehicle and can judge the size of the police vehicle and give it a wide berth. Striping is as important as lighting, if not more so. Striping takes no power from the battery, is effective both day and night, and does not create glare or temporarily blind oncoming motorists. Of course, it is necessary that the vehicle be kept clean, because dirty striping loses much of its effectiveness.
The Arizona DPS found in its tests that the most visible colors for police vehicles are cream, white, and yellow. Statistics gathered by the International Association of Fire Chiefs seem to indicate that lime yellow fire trucks are struck less frequently than the traditional red apparatus.
In 1992 John M. Violanti's "Police Radar: A Cancer Risk?" concluded that police "officers must limit their exposure to radar electromagnetic fields (EMF) or departments must completely remove radar devices from police vehicles." Violanti's study suggests "a possible link between exposure to EMF and cancer."7 Quickly, the California Highway Patrol countered the Violanti report with its own studies.8 The California Highway Patrol studies concluded that there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the low levels of microwave radiation emitted from police radar devices are dangerous.
It is reasonable, however, for vehicles equipped with radar to include certain safety precautions and to prevent unnecessary exposure of officers to microwave radiation. Current information indicates that modern radar sets emit less radiation than cell phones or portable radios. However, it is still advisable to make sure that the radar antenna is always pointing away from the driver and passengers, and that handheld radar sets are turned off and stored on the seat when not in use, never in the lap of the driver. All radar equipment in the vehicle should be properly secured to protect the officer in the event of a crash or high-speed emergency operation.
Siren The Florida Highway Patrol has developed a supplementary siren that uses a low-frequency signal (just above that of the car stereos one easily hears at traffic lights with all windows closed) to warn motorists of approaching emergency vehicles. It is less directional than traditional sirens and has increased by a minimum of 30 percent the distance at which a siren can be heard. Coupled with its new LED lightbar, the supplementary siren will increase the ability of motorists to detect the approach of police vehicles and is intended to increase the safety of all highway users.
The Future This brief outline of items to be considered when equipping today's police vehicles is designed to help provide a safer work environment for officers. These suggestions resulted from careful thought by working groups of the Law Enforcement Stops and Safety Subcommittee (LESSS), as well as the IACP Highway Safety Committee. The committee will continue its work and report developments through the Police Chief magazine and its Web site, (www.patrolvehiclesafety.org). ■

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Remember how we kept referring to the new Tom Cruise movie as the untitled James Mangold project? Well, no more! I think a drumroll is in order…
The new title of Tom's latest film is: 'Knight and Day'!
According to this press release from 20th Century Fox, James Mangold, who is directing the action comedy, co-wrote the script along with screenwriter Scott Frank (the same who wrote 'Minority Report'), while Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are starring, along with Paul Dano, Maggie Grace, and Marc Blucas. Peter Sarsgaard, Olivier Martinez, and Viola Davis are also set to star!
'Knight and Day' centers around a mysterious man (Cruise) who goes on a blind date with an unlucky-in-love woman (Diaz) and ends up taking her on a violent worldwide journey to protect a powerful battery holding the key to an infinite power source. Fox has set a release date for July 2, 2010 — mark your calendars!

|County, Safe Streets Coalition team to boost pedestrian safety
Every hour a pedestrian is injured or killed in California. Pedestrians accounted for nearly one out of five deaths in traffic collisions in 2009 – roughly 58 percent more than the national average.
To address this tragic fact, the County of Sonoma in conjunction with the Sonoma County Safe Streets Coalition and the California Department of Public Health are launching a new "It's Up to All of Us" public education campaign to remind residents to create a safer environment for pedestrians.
The campaign will use public advertising, internet and community outreach to promote targeted messages that focus on reducing pedestrian fatalities and injuries. In a series of ads, drivers receive the messages: "Drive Like Our Lives Depend On It" and "Slow Down," "Look Out for Others" and "Don't Drive Distracted." Pedestrians will be asked to "Stay Alert – Stay Alive" and "Look Up, Look Around," "Don't Assume You're Seen," and "Walk Safely, Your Life Depends On It."
The campaign is aimed at reducing vehicle speeds and driving without distractions such as cell phones, encouraging pedestrians to not text or talk on the phone when crossing streets, to look both ways, to always look up and never assume they are seen by motorists.
The simple step of slowing down and being more aware can have a significant difference in driver and pedestrian safety. Research shows that as vehicle speeds decrease, so too do fatalities; only about five percent of pedestrians are likely to be killed when struck at 20 mph, whereas nearly 80 percent of pedestrians are likely to be killed when struck at 40 mph.
The "It's Up to All of Us" Campaign is made possible by the California Department of Public Health, through a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety and the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.

Durham (pronounced /ˈdʌrəm/ (deprecated template) in RP, locally IPA: [ˈdʏrəm]) is a small city and main settlement of the City of Durham district of County Durham, England.
It is well known for its Norman Cathedral and Castle, and is home to Durham University. HM Prison Durham is also located close to the city centre.
Toponymy Edit
The name "Durham" comes from Old English "dun-holm", meaning "hill-island". It was given this name due to its steep, hilly embankments .
Early historyEdit
Archeological evidence suggests a history of settlement at Durham since roughly 2000 BC. The present city can clearly be traced back to 995 AD, when a group of monks from Lindisfarne chose the strategic high peninsula as a place to settle with the body of Saint Cuthbert, that had previously lain in Chester-le-Street, founding a church there. (Legend says that the monks were led to the location by a milk maid who had lost her dun cow, which was found resting on this spot.) The present Durham Cathedral was built from 1093, and still contains the remains of St Cuthbert as well as The Venerable Bede. It is regarded by many - such as travel writer Bill Bryson -- as the finest cathedral in the world [2][1].
Facing the cathedral across Palace Green is Durham Castle, originally built by the Normans from 1071, on William the Conqueror's return from campaigning in Scotland. Some of the present structure is more recent, notably Anthony Salvin's Victorian restorations. The two buildings are jointly designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site- one of the original six in the United Kingdom. Since 1837 the castle has been home to University College, the first college of the University.
In the three centuries following the construction of the Castle, Durham was regularly besieged by the Scots, with the notable Battle of Neville's Cross (1346) occurring just one mile west of the city.
In medieval times Durham was a major centre of both political and ecclesiastical power, mainly due to its strategic importance near the border with Scotland. County Durham was a palatinate, ruled by Prince-Bishops who had secular authority and considerable autonomy from Westminster, minting their own coinage, dispensing their own justice and with the right to maintain their own armies. Every Bishop of Durham from 1071 to 1836 was a Prince Bishop except for the first Norman-appointed bishop Walcher, who was an Earl-Bishop. (The term Prince Bishop, while a useful one, is not one which the Durham Bishops themselves would have recognised.) Henry VIII curtailed some of the Prince-Bishop's powers, and smashed the shrine of Cuthbert in 1538.
19th Century onwardsEdit
Finally, the public climate surrounding the Great Reform Act of 1832 removed the Bishop's extraordinary powers.
In 1832 the University of Durham was founded, which has several buildings on the peninsula and on Elvet Hill on the other side of the river. The 19th century also saw Durham grow as a centre of the coal mining industry. The first Durham Miners' Gala was held in 1871, and remains a popular annual event.
Governance Edit
The municipal borough was known as 'Durham and Framwelgate', until it was merged with Durham Rural District and Brandon and Byshottles urban district to form the City of Durham district. Durham's MP is Roberta Blackman-Woods (Labour).
Durham is situated 13 miles (21 km) to the south west of Sunderland, England. The River Wear flows north through the city, enclosing the centre on three sides to create Durham's "peninsula". Durham is a hilly city, claiming to be built upon the symbolic seven hills. Upon the most central and prominent position high above the Wear, the cathedral dominates the skyline. The steep riverbanks are densely wooded, adding to the picturesque beauty of the city. West of the city centre, another river, the River Browney, drains south to join the Wear to the south of the city.
Durham won the Large Town award in the Britain in Bloom awards of 2005.
The county town of County Durham, Durham is located in the City of Durham local government district, which extends beyond the city, and has a total population of 87,656, and covers 186.68 square kilometres. The unparished area of Durham had a population of 29,091, whilst the built-up area of Durham had a population of 42,939.
Areas of DurhamEdit
The centre of Durham sits on a peninsula created by the River Wear. At the base of the peninsula is the market square, which still hosts regular markets; a permanent indoor market is also situated on the square. The square and surrounding streets are one of the main commercial and shopping areas of the city. From the market square, The Bailey leads south past Palace Green: The Bailey is almost entirely owned and occupied by the University and Cathedral.
There are three old road bridges leading onto the peninsula, now all pedestrianised. Prebends Bridge is at the southern tip of the Bailey. Heading east from the square, Elvet Bridge leads to the Elvet area of the city. Heading west, Framwellgate Bridge leads to the Framwelgate district, Crossgate and North Road, the other main shopping area of the city. West of here is an area colloquially known as "The Viaduct" after the structure which dominates, now largely student-populated. Beyond The Viaduct lie the outlying districts of Framwellgate Moor and Neville's Cross. Heading north from the market place leads to Claypath. The road curves back round to the east and beyond it lie Gilesgate and Gilesgate Moor. You also have Dragonville. Towards the hospital lies Whitesmocks and Aykley Vale.

|Regional Gross Value Added[4]
The whole of the centre of Durham is designated a conservation area. The conservation area was first designated on 9 August 1968, and was extended on 25 November 1980.[8] In addition to the Cathedral and Castle, Durham contains over 630 listed buildings,[9] 569 of which are located within the city centre conservation area. Particularly notable properties include:

Durham railway station is situated on the East Coast Main Line between Edinburgh and London; rail travellers coming from the south enter Durham over a spectacular Victorian viaduct high above the city. By road, the A1(M), the modern incarnation of the ancient Great North Road, passes just to the east of the city. (Its previous incarnation, now numbered A167, passes just to the west.) Newcastle Airport lies to the north, and Durham Tees Valley Airport to the south, both being approximately 25 miles away. The Market Place and peninsula form the UK's first (albeit small) congestion charging area, introduced in 2002. [10]
A park and ride service is also available.

Non Coffee Drinker
A lot of people drink coffee... some do not.
The non coffee drinker pattern is usually noted when someone shouts:
what a silly name for a programming language! Java?
Get with it!
As with
people, the
doesn't quite fit into society.. especially the programming society.
might choose herbal tea, juice, hot carob, hot cocoa (maybe even
- if it weren't for the ridiculous claims made).
Problems With Coffee
Personally, I find coffee makes me cold and puts me into a weird (but not major) feeling of
. After about 3-5 hours I don't feel any buzz and may be more tired than if I had just avoided the coffee. Having more coffee doesn't always postpone the feeling of tiredness (it can in fact make you feel like you need sleep, but you feel awake - which is a horrible feeling). When I really do want a nap, I can't have one because - I can't sleep due to the coffee (even though my body wants to have a nap)!
I've been able to stay up for 24 hours using psychology and programming pleasure alone, without coffee. I don't recommend staying up for 24 hours often, but it can help occasionally - and it can be done without coffee for sure. In fact, one of the keys in staying up is simply keeping warm (sweater, house coat, etc). As you get colder at night when you are tired (maybe something to do with immune system) you feel like heading off to a warm cozy bed. Coffee, can make you feel cold
awake - a not so good mixture! Especially in winter climate. The initial buzz of the coffee going into the body makes you feel warm for a few minutes, until it then turns into a slight (or major)
cold sweat
. Well, the cold feeling makes you shake your keys and mouse for a while - until you then feel like going to bed a few minutes/hours later when you are freezing and bored.
In other words, I find coffee sort of over-hyped.. it doesn't allow me to continually focus for long periods - rather it seems to be a short term
that doesn't always
me at all.
Occasional Use Can Be Useful
When coffee is consumed occasionally, it is more powerful anyway. For example one builds up a resistance to caffeine if it is consumed daily. Whereas if coffee is used on occasion, the body isn't resistant to it and sees it as
new substance coming in, whoa whoa!
. A group of cyclists or marathon runners will notice a significant increase in endurance if they take coffee occasionally since it opens up lung airways and restricts blood vessels to increase readiness and heart rate. One study I read showed something ridiculous like a 5-20 percent performance increase when coffee/caffeine was taken before the marathon/cycle run. If the cyclists or marathoners are regular coffee drinkers, they will not notice this increase in performance by having coffee, since they have built up a resistance to it.

Sequential Learning, Predictability, and Optimal Portfolio Returns

AFA 2009 San Francisco Meetings Paper
This paper finds statistically and economically significant out-of-sample portfolio benefits for an investor who uses models of return predictability when forming optimal portfolios. The key is that investors must incorporate an ensemble of important features into their optimal portfolio problem, including time-varying volatility, and time-varying expected returns driven by improved predictors such as measures of yield that include share repurchase and issuance in addition to cash payouts. Moreover, investors need to account for estimation risk when forming optimal portfolios. Prior research documents a lack of benefits to return predictability, and our results suggest that this is largely due to omitting time-varying volatility and estimation risk. We also study the learning problem of investors, documenting the sequential process of learning about parameters, state variables, and models as new data arrives.

Here are a few new-found favorites from Martha that I recently discovered in her "Creepy Treats" gallery… which honestly leans more towards "clever & stylish, with just a dash of creep." (Except for maybe the Ladies' Fingers cookies, which easily qualify as full-on creepy!)
1. Devil's Food Cake with Flame Tuiles –Is is just me, or is this cake more gorgeous than creepy?! This look would actually make for a pretty Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert too.
2. I Scream Sandwitches – "wicked witches" with an eerie tendency to melt!
3. Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes – Pumpkin-flavored cupcakes topped with adorable marzipan pumpkins. Pressed for time? Substitute any ready-made pumpkin candy.
4. Boo-tiful Cake – marshmallows and chocolate sprinkles make for super cute – and super easy – friendly ghost cake toppers!
5. Sweet Bones – piped meringue makes for a truly bone-chilling treat!
6. Invisible Pops – These "magical" lollipops actually have the look of cool, modern trees… great party favor idea for Halloween and harvest, and woodland-themed parties. (These could be really cute with red, white, and pink candy corn for Valentine's day too!)
7. Jack-o'-lantern Tarts – mini-pie tops are the perfect place for Jack to show his face!
8. Brain Cupcakes – witty labeling like "Albert Mindstein" and "Intell E. Gent" makes these clever cupcakes even more hilarious!
See anything here that looks especially tempting to YOU? =)

6Amy @ Living Locurto SAYS:
Love these treats. That ghost cake is adorable. I usually make spooky cupcakes, but might have to make this cake instead. I guess I could do the same with cupcakes, but they look so cute all together. Maybe I'll put those little ghosts around the cupcake stand and next to the cupcakes.

Thanks to the warmer weather, Central New York's drive-in movie theaters are officially open for the season -- the industry's 81st since launching in 1933.
The Finger Lakes Drive-In, New York state's oldest operating drive-in, will be showing "Rio 2" (G) and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" (PG-13) in a double-feature on Friday and Saturday, starting at 8:25 p.m. The Auburn theater, just 29 miles outside of Syracuse, also plans to show "Godzilla," "Blended," "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and more of this summer's hottest movies.
The Midway Drive-In, located "midway" between Fulton and Oswego on Rt. 48 in Minetto, opened last weekend with a family-friendly lineup of Disney's "Frozen" and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug." This Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be a triple feature of religious-themed movies -- "Heaven is for Real" (PG), "God's Not Dead" (PG) and "Son of God" (PG-13) -- starting at 8:30 p.m.
The Midway's summer lineup will be highlighted by a special "Live at the Drive-In" event by Jimmy Buffett on Thursday, June 19. The "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" singer will perform live with the Coral Reefer Band at a drive-in in Fort Worth, Texas, and his concert will be simulcast live at 70 theaters nationwide, including the Midway. Tickets are $18 per person.
Admission at many drive-ins have gone up slightly this year -- Midway movie nights are now $8 per adult instead of $7 and the Finger Lakes Drive-In is also up to $8 from $7.50 -- due to increased costs of wages, repairs, and other fees. Big theater chains are also more expensive: It costs $40 to take a family of four to see "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" at Destiny USA's Regal Cinemas or $54 for the same in 3-D, up an average of 50 cents per ticket from 2013.
For drive-in movie theater fans, though, you can't put a price tag on nostalgia. Only a few hundred of the 4,063 drive-ins that existed in 1958 are still operating in the United States, but the love affair continues for cinephiles who prefer warm summer nights and the comfort of their own car.
The West Rome Drive-In near Utica closed for good last year, and the Finger Lakes is at risk of going dark after losing a national contest to upgrade to a digital projector last year. Finger Lakes Drive-In owner Paul Meyer is collecting donations at theater and at savefingerlakesdrivein.com, but so far has only collected $11,250 towards his $95,000 goal.
The Midway and the Finger Lakes drive-ins are the closest to Syracuse at approximately a half-hour's drive outside the city. Other theaters in the greater CNY area include the Black River Drive-In Theatre in Watertown, the Valley Brook Drive-In in Lyons Falls, the Elmira Drive-In near Big Flats, the Unadilla Drive-In, the Bay Drive-In Theatre in Alexandria Bay, and the Vintage Drive-In in Avon.

When a male performs oral sex on a female, and the female cums, the male licks up all the secretion. After which, the female will give a blow job to the male, and at the time of orgasm, removes her head, letting the cum splatter all over the place. At the same time, the male will spit out all of the female's secretion that he has been holding in his mouth. Thus creating a huge explosion of cum.
She just gave me a Nuclear Blowjob, it was awesome

Bloomberg's Electric Vehicle Announcement and "Revenge of the Electric Car" Documentary Promote a Solution to High Gas Prices and our Oil Addiction
New York, NY— Today, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the addition of 70 new electric vehicles for New York's vehicle fleet, giving the Big Apple the largest electric vehicle fleet of any city in the country. The announcement coincides with tonight's screening in Central Park of a new documentary, Revenge of the Electric Car, which presents a critical part of the solution to our nation's dangerous addiction to oil.
"Mayor Bloomberg's creation of the country's largest city fleet of electric vehicles and Revenge of the Electric Car demonstrate the tremendous potential for electric vehicles to save American families money at the gas pump and help us end our dangerous addiction to oil," said Gina Coplon-Newfield, director of the Sierra Club's Electric Vehicles campaign. The Sierra Club is co-sponsoring tonight's film screening.
Mayor Bloomberg's announcement and tonight's screening come as the Obama administration is considering a fuel efficiency standard for cars and light trucks that could set at least a 60 mile-per-gallon standard for cars made in 2025.
"Whether they are automakers, smart grid technology companies, electrical workers, environmentalists or just ordinary consumers, all Americans stand to reap huge benefits from electric vehicles," said Coplon-Newfield. "By ensuring a strong standard of at least 60 miles per gallon for cars and small trucks in 2025, we will be able to make the switch to electric vehicles sooner, reducing dangerous pollution significantly and helping to move our nation beyond oil."
In a recent report, "Beating the Heat with Clean Cars," Environment New York found that New York State would save $3 billion at the pump in just one summer if cars today met the 60 MPG standard.
"New Yorkers could have cleaner air and improved public health for their families, and they could save money in the process," said John Cross, transportation advocate with Environment New York. "Setting a 60 mpg standard is the greatest step the country can take to ensure that electric cars and other clean vehicles play a pivotal role in our future, and those vehicles will ensure that New York's future—and the country's—will be clean, prosperous and secure."
"Chris Paine's Revenge of the Electric Car demonstrates that this country has the technology and the know-how to produce cars that use no oil and produce little or no pollution, and Mayor Bloomberg's announcement is an important step forward in making those cars the norm and not the exception," said Cross. "The cost of our oil dependence has grown out of control, from the outrageous prices we pay at the pump, to the pollution of the air that our families breathe and the warming of our climate, to disasters like the Gulf Oil Spill last year and the recent spill on the Yellowstone River. Today's events demonstrate that we can bring New York and the country the cars that will move us beyond the consequences of our oil dependence and into a brighter future."
Today, Mayor Bloomberg also announced a new web site that will help New Yorkers learn more about electric vehicles and how and where to charge them.
The Sierra Club is the nation's largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization. Founded in 1892, our 1.4 million members and supporters work to explore, enjoy and protect the planet.
Environment New York is a statewide, citizen-based environmental advocacy organization, working to protect New York's air, water and open spaces. www.EnvironmentNewYork.org

New research found that painful procedures, like dehorning, made calves more pessimistic.
by Abby Bauer, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
Dehorning causes some amount of pain, which we recognize based on behavioral changes, such as head shaking, ear flicking and vocalization, as well as physiological changes like elevated heart rate and plasma cortisol concentrations. What is harder to identify is how pain affects calves emotionally.
People who are depressed or anxious are more likely to interpret ambiguous stimuli more negatively, while people in a positive mood tend to have more optimistic reactions. Heather Neave, a recent master's graduate of the University of British Columbia, and other researchers there hypothesized that animals would exhibit similar differences in judgment bias after a stressful event.
To address this theory, Neave conducted a study with Holstein bull calves. Calves were trained to approach a computer screen when a certain color appeared. A milk feeding was their reward. Punishment for touching the wrong screen was noise and a one-minute time out where milk was not provided.
Half the calves were trained to touch the screen when it was red and avoid it when it was white. The other half were trained to the do the opposite. The calves quickly learned when to touch the screen and be fed. They were then introduced to three shades of pink screens that could be interpreted positively or negatively. These pink screens offered no reward or punishment when touched.
The calves' reactions to the screens were recorded before and after dehorning at 30 days of age. The dehorning was done with a hot iron, and calves were administered a sedative and local anesthetic beforehand. A pain reliever was not given after the procedure in order to conduct the experiment.
After dehorning, calves showed no change in their reaction to the red and white screens; however, they approached the pink screens less frequently. The researchers felt this suggested the calves were in a pessimistic state of mind, assuming they would not be rewarded with milk and therefore didn't even try to approach the pink screens.
Calves' judgment biases were measured 6 hours and 22 hours after dehorning. Calves' reactions were similar at both times, implying that the affects of dehorning on their emotional state persisted for at least 22 hours. Therefore, administering a pain reliever after dehorning may not only alleviate discomfort but could also improve an animal's attitude after a painful procedure.
