Prevention is Key During Cold and Flu Season
- The old saying tells us to "feed a cold and starve a fever."
Or is it the other way around?
really doesn't matter because, although medical experts have been
looking for years to find a cure for the flu and common cold, that
search is still in progress. Thus, prevention becomes the key to
surviving both ailments. Acting Commissioner of the Department of
Health and Senior Services Clifton R. Lacy, M.D. offers these suggestions
to avoid catching a cold or the flu:
Wash your
hands often. Washing with soap and water removes viruses and decreases
the chance of spreading cold and flu viruses.
close contact with anyone suffering from a cold. Cold viruses
easily spread from the hands of someone who is ill to the eyes,
nose and hands of someone who is not. Cold viruses are also easily
spread through sneezing.
used tissues right away. They are active carriers of cold and
flu viruses.
Keep kitchen
and bathroom counter tops clean, especially when someone in your
family has a cold.
When indoors,
make sure the air is not too dry. Open a window if you can. Dry
nasal passages are more vulnerable to the cold virus.
Quit smoking.
Those who smoke are more susceptible to colds and other respiratory
a cold, influenza is spread through close contact with someone who
is infected. Tips for avoiding colds are also effective in avoiding
flu. If you do get such a virus, here are things you can do to feel
better while it lasts:
Get plenty
of rest -- as much as 12 hours or more a night.
liquids -- to keep mucus thin and easy to clear.
Take aspirin,
acetaminophen or ibuprofen to relieve headache, muscle ache and
fever, as per physician and product labeling recommendations.
Over-the-counter cold medications can offer temporary relief for
nasal congestion and sore throat. There are also prescription-only
medications that can relieve flu symptoms.
give aspirin to a child younger than 16 without a doctor's advice,
and don't give cold medications to children less than 6 years
more information on the flu, see the Department of Health and Senior
Services website (www.state.nj.us/health.)

flu clinics and a weekly update of flu activity as reported by schools,
nursing homes and hospitals as well as information on other health-related

It's a Jungle In Here
The Dogs, Trees, Birds, and Babies of Yoga
I realize you will think me a bad person, but I have to say it: I hate the outdoors. This time of year especially, when everything from dachshunds to daisies makes me weep, scratch, or sniffle.
So today, instead of my usual jog, I decided to try a very relaxing and very indoor class of yoga. That was the plan, anyway.
I walk into the room and immediately am surrounded with frog croaking and waterfall crashing—nature noise without nature nuisance. Or so I think. The first position cooed to us is downward dog. The pose feels nice; the obtrusive thoughts of my dad's old, hairy collie do not. I try to push them out of my head and am relieved as we move to the next pose. The cobra. I wanted to raise my hand and ask since when slobbery mammals and slimy reptiles were a part of exercising, thank you very much. But before I have a chance to lift my supposedly non-existent snake arm, we are bending backwards into camel. How quaint—a desert theme. Thank goodness there's no such thing as scorpion pose. [There is.]
I refocus my attention. only to apprehend that I am to be a tree. I shakily attempt to regain balance with one leg on the ground and both palms pressed together. In the process, I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror and marvel in silent triumph: I am the loveliest quaking aspen to ever take root on linoleum. I remain optimistic even when, next, I am thrust first as an eagle, then heron, then pigeon into a sky no doubt laden with pollen and thick with dust. I feel a sneeze coming on as I move from one anthropomorphized pose to the next, but suppress it when the instructor announces the subsequent position: happy baby. Finally, something that my sinuses don't disagree with! I lie on my back with the soles of my feet in my hands, feeling quite tranquil. We advance to child's pose and finally to corpse, also known as total relaxation.
But, instead of winding down, my mind can't help but be perturbed at such a progression. Baby, child, corpse.where is the "adult" phase? Is my stage of life so insignificant as to not even merit a yoga pose? No, not insignificant, I conclude as I stand to put my shoes back on—just counterintuitive to yoga's objective. The pose would be a frenzied one with a name like "washing dishes" or "filing taxes" and would most likely promote thoughts of, well, dirty dishes and empty tax forms! Even allergies are preferable to those.
I walk out of the room as the instructor for the next class—Super Turbo Kick Boxing—files in and shouts to the lively gym-goers that they had better be ready to sweat like pigs and work like horses. I walk outside, which by now, with its dull smog and bird-less skies, seems more indoor than out, and head to my car, resolute to plant a garden or take a nature walk or pitch some balls with the boys or.
I let out an enormous sneeze. Or just drive to my spotlessly hygienic home and come back to yoga tomorrow.

That afternoon tea looks divine. I agree with Velvet - I love these types of posts.
thanks for the well wishes everyone :-)ReplyDelete
mat - it's in county durham. but it's quite odd that it's right in the middle of a very industrial area. the owners who had it built, spent an absolute fortune on it allegedly, which i think you can see. so to have views over a concrete plant & waste disposal unit is just bizarre! it was featured on grand designs shortly after it was built, so it was interesting to see the inside of it also.
i wish you a very happy birthday, & i love your dress!ReplyDelete

Fans of the exciting Giro d'Italia will want to get their hands on the amazing 2011 Battaglin Start, which symbolizes everything great about the race and cycling.
The Start from Battaglin features a 7005 HT Alloy frame working exclusively with a Battaglin 1″ 1/8 carbon alloy fork with some Campagnolo Xenon/ Veloce 10s for its groupset.
Rear and front mech as well as the shifter is covered by the Campagnolo Veloce 10s while the bike's chain and cassette is covered and supplied by Miche Reflex.
Banking on strength and comfort rather than on any other characteristics for cyclocross bikes, the new Battaglin Start has been built with great elements and gears attached to it, including FSA Vero compact 50-34 T crankarms and FSA Power Pro BB7420 aluminum bbs or bottom brackets.
What really makes this new bike such an astounding product is the attention to detail in every product, which has been a trademark for most of Giovanni Battaglin's handmade Italian bikes.
The bikes retail for $1115.61 and is available online through various bike specialty sites and Battaglin's main webpage.

"This is a compelling greater good mission. We take our role as community players seriously," said John R. Koelmel, president and CEO of the bank. He said the bank has committed $500,000 to the state, and will be working with businesses in Western New York and across the state to raise $500,000 more.
The state's office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation announced in September that it needed to raise $1 million in private funds. Koelmel read about the pledge in October and worried that the games might again get canceled. That's when he decided his bank should help. First Niagara has 254 branches across Upstate New York and Pennsylvania.
The push was both personal and business-related. His daughter, who recently graduated from college, played in the Empire State Games when she was in high school. "I've seen firsthand and know it's a very beneficial and rewarding experience," Koelmel said.
But the reason was more than supporting sports. The event is expected to bring $15 million to the Western New York region this summer. Next summer, the games are scheduled to be in Rochester.
The state tried to fund the games this past summer by charging all of the athletes a participation fee — $285. Many said they simply couldn't play at such a high cost.
Parks department spokesman Dan Keefe said the games are definitely on for this summer, but the state still needs to raise more money. It has budgeted $1.7 million for the next two years. The yearly cost of the games is $2.5 million. About 6,000 athletes participate every summer. There are 1,400 in the winter, 1,400 in the games for the physically challenged and 2,000 for the senior citizen games.
Keefe said the games are not in danger of being canceled this year or next, but that the state needs to continue to raise private funds to keep going. He said the state's goal is to make the games self-sustaining.

Our weather today will be nicer than Atlanta's. Go figure.
A return to southwest winds and dry air will allow the early April sun go to work on this tired arctic air mass. After a chilly start this morning, we should warm nicely through the 30s this morning and into the 40s by shortly after noon.
The high temperature today across Central New York should vary quite a bit. Over areas where there is fresh lake effect snow to melt off, the high temperature might only be in the mid or upper 40s. Elsewhere, over bare ground, we could easily hit 50 degrees.
Syracuse Forecast:
Today. Sunny. High in the mid 40s to low 50s.
Tonight: Clear skies early in the night, then a few clouds showing up later in the night. Low 20-25.
Friday: Cloudy in the morning, perhaps a few sprinkles, then clearing skies in the afternoon. A little cool. High in the mid 40s.
Saturday: Chilly in the morning, but sunny and warming into the low 50s in the afternoon.
Sunday: Increasing clouds. Chance of some rain later in the day. High in the low to mid 50s.
Interested in Atlanta? In this morning's video Dave Eichorn talks about our weekend weather, but also gives you the latest on the weather for traveling to the Final Four.

Cosmic shear requirements on the wavelength-dependence of telescope point spread functions [Replacement]
(0 votes over all institutions)
Cosmic shear requires high precision measurement of galaxy shapes in the presence of the observational Point Spread Function (PSF) that smears out the image. The PSF must therefore be known for each galaxy to a high accuracy. However, for several reasons, the PSF is usually wavelength dependent, therefore the differences between the spectral energy distribution of the observed objects introduces further complexity. In this paper we investigate the effect of the wavelength-dependence of the PSF, focusing on instruments in which the PSF size is dominated by the diffraction-limit of the telescope and which use broad-band filters for shape measurement. We first calculate biases on cosmological parameter estimation from cosmic shear when the stellar PSF is used uncorrected. Using realistic galaxy and star spectral energy distributions and populations and a simple three-component circular PSF we find that the colour-dependence must be taken into account for the next generation of telescopes. We then consider two different methods for removing the effect (i) the use of stars of the same colour as the galaxies and (ii) estimation of the galaxy spectral energy distribution using multiple colours and using a telescope model for the PSF. We find that both of these methods correct the effect to levels below the tolerances required for per-cent level measurements of dark energy parameters. Comparison of the two methods favours the template-fitting method because its efficiency is less dependent on galaxy redshift than the broad-band colour method and takes full advantage of deeper photometry.

Multiple Sequencers In Applet
Sean Brewer
Posts: 7
posted 5 years ago
Hi all,
There isn't a sound/audio forum here, so hopefully this is the best place to post this.
I'm working on a music
and need to have multiple sequencers playing simultaneously. I have some
code and it works in my programming environment (I'm using the free JGrasp) but when I try to open the applet in a web browser, it doesn't play the sequencers at the same time. It only plays one sequencer at a time and switches (seems to be random) back and forth between them instead of just letting them both play together. Is there any reason why two (or more) sequencers won't play together in an applet when they do in my programming environment? Is this just simply a limitation within applets or is there some kind of work around to fix this?
I know you can do different tracks in a single sequencer, but I really need it to be separate sequencers playing simultaneously... Without getting into too much music/drum theory, I'm making a polyrhythm metronome and need to have different sequencers playing at different tempos (which you can't do with a single sequencer). If anyone has any ideas on how to get multiple sequencers to play nicely together in an applet that would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my sample program:
import java.util.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.sound.midi.*; public class MetronomeTestApplet extends JApplet { public void init() { MetronomeTest metTest = new MetronomeTest(); metTest.start(); } } class MetronomeTest { Sequencer sequencer1=null; Sequencer sequencer2=null; Sequence sequence1=null; Sequence sequence2=null; Track track1=null; Track track2=null; MidiEvent newEvent=null; int volume = 90; int tempo = 100; public MetronomeTest() { try { // SEQUENCER 1 sequencer1 = MidiSystem.getSequencer(); sequencer1.open(); sequence1 = new Sequence(Sequence.PPQ, 16); track1 = sequence1.createTrack(); ShortMessage instrumentMsg = new ShortMessage(); instrumentMsg.setMessage(ShortMessage.PROGRAM_CHANGE, 0, 115, 0); // 115 == woodblock track1.add(new MidiEvent(instrumentMsg, 0)); // SEQUENCER 2 sequencer2 = MidiSystem.getSequencer(); sequencer2.open(); sequence2 = new Sequence(Sequence.PPQ, 16); track2 = sequence2.createTrack(); instrumentMsg = new ShortMessage(); instrumentMsg.setMessage(ShortMessage.PROGRAM_CHANGE, 0, 117, 0); // 117 == melodic tom track2.add(new MidiEvent(instrumentMsg, 0)); } catch (Exception e) { } } public void destroy() { sequencer1.stop(); sequencer1.close(); sequencer2.stop(); sequencer2.close(); } public void start() { try { // LOAD SEQUENCER 1 for (int i=0; i<4; i++) { ShortMessage noteOnMsg = new ShortMessage(); noteOnMsg.setMessage(ShortMessage.NOTE_ON, 0, 60, volume); track1.add(new MidiEvent(noteOnMsg, 0 + 16*i)); ShortMessage noteOffMsg = new ShortMessage(); noteOffMsg.setMessage(ShortMessage.NOTE_OFF, 0, 60, volume); track1.add(new MidiEvent(noteOffMsg, 16 + 16*i)); } // LOAD SEQUENCER 2 for (int i=0; i<8; i++) { ShortMessage noteOnMsg = new ShortMessage(); noteOnMsg.setMessage(ShortMessage.NOTE_ON, 0, 60, volume); track2.add(new MidiEvent(noteOnMsg, 0 + 8*i)); ShortMessage noteOffMsg = new ShortMessage(); noteOffMsg.setMessage(ShortMessage.NOTE_OFF, 0, 60, volume); track2.add(new MidiEvent(noteOffMsg, 8 + 8*i)); } // START SEQUENCERS sequencer1.setSequence(sequence1); sequencer1.setTempoInBPM(tempo); sequencer1.setLoopCount(Sequencer.LOOP_CONTINUOUSLY); sequencer2.setSequence(sequence2); sequencer2.setTempoInBPM(tempo); sequencer2.setLoopCount(Sequencer.LOOP_CONTINUOUSLY); sequencer1.start(); sequencer2.start(); } catch (Exception e) { } } }

Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer, Blue Willow Review by Guest
I am very excited about my new mixer. I have only used it once, but I did have a problem with the flour making a mess while mixing in, even with the splatter shield on and on the lowest speed. Hopefully I will figure out how to add the flour more gracefully with less mess. Otherwise, it seemed to have plenty of power. The beautiful color looks great on my counter, too! (Posted on 5/23/11)
Fast Delivery, Great Price Review by Guest
I gave the blue willow Kitchenaid Mixer as a wedding gift to my nephew and his fiancee. It arrived very quickly and they are absolutely delighted with it. I am sure that I will be making more purchases through Everything Kitchens as the service they rendered was great, and a great price, too!! (Posted on 5/11/11)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my KitchenAid! I don't know how I managed so long without one. It made making 12 dozen Christmas cookies so much easier. Everything goes faster and smoother when I use it for mixing. It is reliable, efficient, and I love the color. I also was extremely happy with the glass bowl and cover that I got as a rebate bonus.

Miami's 96-94 victory at home Wednesday night against the Brooklyn looked eerily similar to their Game 6 in the NBA Finals.
While not nearly as dire, the Heat came into that contest against the Spurs with their backs all the way up against the wall down 3-2, it was just as convincing that the defending champs might be a team of destiny.
They trailed by eight with under five minutes to go but pulled it together with timely shooting outside shooting from LeBron James and the seemingly timeless veteran Ray Allen. More importantly, Miami came up with big defensive stops against Brooklyn's Joe Johnson, something they had seldom done all game and all series long.
Johnson, who put his team up 91-83 with a tough step back fadeway in James' face with 4:48 to play, finished with a game-high 34 points.
The Heat trailed by just one with 32 seconds to go when Allen hit a contested 3-pointer from the wing to give his team a 93-91 edge. Johnson nailed a triple of his own from the corner to pull his team to within one with 11 seconds to play but couldn't get shot off when Allen and James converged to swipe the ball away from him on the game's final play.
James scored 29, adding nine rebounds and five assists and running mate Dwyane Wade scored 20 of his 28 in the first half as the Heat closed out the Eastern Conference semifinals series 4-1.
Heat face Pacers-Wizards winner in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pacers lead that series 3-2. Game 6 is scheduled for tonight.
Right behind you: Never to be outdone, the San Antonio Spurs wrapped up their second-round series against the Portland Trailblazers with a 102-84 victory to punch their ticket to the conference finals the same night the Heat did.
The Spurs, who could have clinched Monday night, delivered their fourth blowout win of the series against the upstart Blazers to advance to the third-round for the second straight season under Coach of the Year Greg Popovich.
The Spurs did it, primarily without the services of point guard Tony Parker, who played only 10 minutes before leaving with a hamstring injury.
However, they got 44 points from Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard. Green, one of the heroes of last year's Finals, scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Leonard scored 22 as well and came up with seven boards. Patty Mills scored 18 off the bench and Tim Duncan did his part with 16 points and eight rebounds.
It was another tough night out for Portland point guard Damian Lillard, who went 7-for-18 from the field and scored 17 points. LaMarcus Aldridge added 21 in 40 minutes for the Blazers.
The Spurs will face the winner of the series between the Clippers and Thunder in Western Conference Finals. Oklahoma City leads 3-2 heading into tonight's Game 6.

DECATUR, Alabama - Police are investigating the stabbing of a man at a local motel Monday night, a Decatur police news release said.
The victim went into Billy's Mini-Mart at 1126 Sixth Ave. S.E. shortly after 10 p.m. Monday seeking help, police said. The man was bleeding and the store clerk called for help.
Medical personnel arrived and determined the man had been stabbed several times and transported him to Decatur General Hospital. The victim initially did not cooperate with police and gave few details, police said. Police were able to determine that the assault happened at Magnolia Motel at 1101 Sixth Ave. S.E. Police spoke to a witness at the motel.
The victim was transferred to Huntsville Hospital in stable condition and his injuries were not considered life-threatening, police said.

Syracuse, N.Y. - What does it mean that Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Lt. Gov. Bob Duffy are so visibly staying out of the race for Syracuse mayor?
Both said they would not endorse Stephanie Miner, the incumbent and co-chair of the New York State Democratic Committee. Cuomo made his statement in a YNN interview Thursday in Buffalo. Duffy said it in Syracuse today, right after he hugged the mayor.
Miner has been critical of the governor's policy on state help for upstate cities and her opponents have used that against her in her campaign for re-election.
That's why a non-endorsement is making more news than any actual endorsement in this race.
Independent political observers had this to say about whether a non-endorsement hurts or helps Miner's campaign: As long as the Cuomo/Duffy team is not endorsing someone else, it does not hurt Miner.
Robert Spitzer, chair of the political science department at SUNY Cortland:
"It's always a dicey proposition when the president, or in this case, the governor steps into a local race and if you're going to go against the incumbent, you'd better have a good reason. I think there would be little for him to be gained by backing another horse.
So I think it's probably a prudent move on his part, not a surprising move and a small net plus for her."
Steven Greenberg, who spoke for the August YNN/Siena Poll that put the mayor ahead with 56 percent of the vote:
"While any Democrat running for office would like to have the endorsement of a popular Democratic governor, likely Democratic primary voters in Syracuse are certainly familiar with Mayor Miner and this primary is likely to be a referendum on how Democrats feel the incumbent has done over the last four years. While an endorsement is always nice, it's less important for an incumbent and wouldn't likely change the dynamic of this election much, if at all."
Grant Reeher, political science professor at Syracuse University's Maxwell School:
"Even if one wanted to see great meaning in it, his lack of endorsement fits both the pro and con narratives about Miner's administration being put forward by the respective campaigns--on the one hand, her independence and willingness to speak out, even if it means incurring a political cost; on the other, tension with the governor that might hurt the city in dealing with Albany."
Opponent Alfonso Davis said he was not surprised Cuomo did not endorse Miner, who Davis said has been disrespectful of the governor.
"Him not endorsing her should speak volumes to the people of Syracuse that she is not the right person to lead this city and that's why she has two individuals in a party primary," Davis said, adding that he would have liked the governor's endorsement.
Opponent Pat Hogan said he was glad Cuomo did not endorse Miner over him, but he did not make a big deal out of it.
"Years ago, it was (expected) that elected officials didn't endorse anybody else in primaries," Hogan said. "Now it seems like everybody does that. I'm glad he decided to let the voters decide between myself and Mayor Miner on Tuesday."
Kyle Madden, spokesman for Miner, had no comment. The mayor did not ask for the governor's endorsement, he said.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Valley Authority failed for more than 20 years to heed warnings that might have prevented a massive coal ash spill in Tennessee, then allowed its lawyers to stifle a $3 million study into the disaster's cause to limit its legal liability, an inspector general's report said Tuesday.
Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and chairman of the TVA congressional caucus, said the report "raises major concerns which must be taken seriously ... to ensure that such a coal ash spill never happens again."
The 111-page report from TVA Inspector General Richard Moore came as officials from the nation's largest public utility made a third appearance before a congressional panel since the spill last Dec. 22.
TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore was among those scheduled to testify today before the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure's subcommittee on water resources and environment.
The breach of 5.4 million cubic yards of toxic-laden coal ash from the earthen dams and holding ponds at TVA's Kingston Fossil Plant into the Emory River and lakeside homes has raised questions about the risks and lack of regulation of hundreds of similar sites around the country.
In the wake of the disaster, an estimated $1 billion cleanup and several pending lawsuits from residents, Knoxville-based TVA hired consulting firms to analyze what happened at Kingston and offer recommendations for handling coal byproducts there and at 10 other TVA coal-fired power plants in Tennessee, Alabama and Kentucky.
"TVA had a clear but difficult choice to make in the aftermath of the Kingston spill," Moore's report said.
"One choice was to conduct a diligent review of TVA management practices as well as to conduct a technical physical examination of the failed structure and then to publish whatever was discovered to the world.
"The second choice was to 'circle the wagons,' carefully craft press releases to project TVA in the most favorable light and to tightly control any reports done by TVA of the failure to minimize legal liability."
The inspector general said management's decision to allow TVA's lawyers, the Office of General Counsel, to hire the consultant and narrow his focus for a critical "root cause" study of the disaster "predetermined the choice that would be made between accountability and litigation strategy."

|[TowerTalk] KT34XA T match element
|"Hugo De becker" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
|Sat, 30 Aug 2003 22:24:22 +0200
Hi all!
When taking my KT34XA down to do some antenna and tower maintenance, one side of the match element broke. I've tried to put a smaller tubing with self tapping screws in it but the SWR on 15 and 20 meters jumps.
I would just replace one side but can't get the aluminum apart from the fiberglass rod.
Got in contact with M2 to order just the T match but all they want is to sell a complete upgrade kit or a new antenna :-((
Anyone with experience? Where can I get a T match? Anyone with old KT34XA spare parts?
Or do I just make another T match with different material?
7 mm. fiberglass rod tough to find here!
Looking forward to your advice.
73, Hugo-ON7GB

Ross Douthat's latest Times column—on the subject of, yes, the culture wars—features a small typo: a missing period in the third graf, below, between "policy" and "He." Which, when glanced at quickly, seems to ratify the Obama-as-God conceit that Douthat, of all people, surely would not want to perpetuate. Oh, the irony.

A concussion is a short-term disturbance in brain function caused by a head injury. A concussion causes: Confusion, headache or dizziness Loss of consciousness lasting less than 30 minutes or no loss of consciousness at all Loss of memory (amnesia) lasting less than 24 hours About half of all head injuries happen during motor vehicle accidents. Falls, sports and assaults cause the rest. Alcohol and drug use are major contributing factors. Most head injuries result from direct trauma (for example, the head hitting the ground or the windshield of a car). In the elderly, serious head injuries can result from even minor falls. Injuries also can occur from rapid acceleration or deceleration, as may happen in a whiplash injury. People who injure their heads often injure their necks, too. Magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography (CT) scans of someone with a concussion rarely show obvious signs of brain injury. . Occasionally, minor head trauma can trigger a more serious problem such as bruising of the brain tissue (brain contusion) or bleeding within the head (subdural hematoma or subarachnoid hemorrhage). Bleeding and other complications of minor head injuries appear to be more common in the elderly and in people taking blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin).

With federal transportation funding set to run out in August, Oregon transportation officials say they might be forced to float the federal government up to $110 million this year.
The loan is one of several consequences Oregon might face if Congress fails to find more money for the nearly depleted Highway Trust Fund. The state might also delay or cancel some highway projects scheduled for 2015 if the fund isn't replenished.
The Oregon Department of Transportation has enough money in temporary reserves to continue paying contractors to finish out the current construction season, "but it does put us into a very awkward spot," said Travis Brouwer, ODOT assistant director.
If Congress doesn't resolve the funding situation by November, ODOT officials estimate they'll need to float the federal government $50 million to $110 million.
The federal government is contractually obligated to repay that money for the already-approved construction projects, Brouwer said, but the more worrying impact would be a lack of funding for projects that haven't started.
"Until we get some strong indication from Congress that they're going to have funding for 2015, we're going to be really cautious about putting projects out to bid because we don't want to start any projects that Congress may never pay for," he said.
Projects at risk include safety improvements along Southeast Powell Boulevard and Southeast Division Street, the widening of U.S. 26 from 185th Avenue to Cornelius Pass Road, the addition of a second exit lane from Interstate 5 northbound to Lower Boones Ferry Road, and dozens of other projects in the 2015-18 statewide transportation improvement plan.
All of the projects in the plan are paid for primarily with federal money.
The Highway Trust Fund relies heavily on the federal gas tax, which hasn't been raised since 1993. All the while more fuel-efficient vehicles hit the roads, and a decline in driving during the Great Recession led to a decline in user fees.
To avoid cutting transportation funding, Congress since 2008 has transferred $55 billion into the Highway Trust Fund. That money is about to run out in a few weeks, and the fund is projected to run an annual deficit of $15 billion starting next year.
Starting Aug. 1, federal transportation officials say they plan to dole out twice-a-month checks to states based solely on revenue from the federal gas tax. Each state will only receive a portion of the money the federal government owes, meaning Oregon won't be quickly reimbursed for construction expenses.
In a July 1 letter to state transportation officials, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx described the move as "cash management procedures."
He also reminded state transportation officials of another funding problem on the horizon: the mass transit account is on track to run out of money in a few months.
Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., in June proposed a $9 billion plan -- including tax hikes on heavy commercial trucks -- to keep federal money flowing for highway, bridge and transit projects.
His plan died just two days later after key Republicans in both the House and Senate said they objected to new taxes.

**1880's: Beautiful Butter Dish by The Derby Silver Company
This Family Heirloom, belonging to my great grandmother is a perfect example of what would be seen on only the best dressed dining tables of the era.Made by the Derby Silver Company in Birmingham Connecticut.The company was founded in 1872 by partners Simpson,Hall and Watson Miller.They made just about anything made of silver or silver plate from toiletry items to trophies.Quite often they were also commissioned to produce one of a kind special orders.Due to the depression the company closed it's doors in 1933.This exquisite example is heavily silver plated which has remained in excellent condition due partly to that fact and that it has been well cared for.The shape of these early butter dishes was to house butter that was sold at the time in 1 pound circular cakes.The bottom of the dish served as a ice chamber with the pierced liner resting above.A knife rest was added to the side to keep diners from using their already used knives ( sort of a NO double dipping idea ) away from this precious commodity.As Shown in photos this delicious piece is in amazing condition.These pieces were sold without the butter knives ,you were to use your own from your silverware set.The one I am including is the one that has always accompanied the dish and is lovely along side and is sterling with a floral design and a letter "S" engraving.The dish measures 10" x 7 1/2" and sits almost 7" high.

As everyone talks about the incident that went down Sunday night between Frank Ocean and Chris Brown, the "Thinking About You" hitmaker has been busy working. Frank shot the music video for his introspective channel ORANGE song "Forrest Gump" over the weekend. The song sparked controversy last year, following the personal confession regarding his love life.
Shot in the desert, Frank filmed scenes on an empty stretch of road with cheerleaders, bikers, and skaters, and he jumped on a trampoline wearing a yellow suit and signature headband.

Fly fishing pure joy any time of year
Imagine my surprise when I got a hand-written letter in the mail yesterday from Mayor Domenic Sarno acknowledging my picture in the Jan. 13h edition of The Republican. The previous Monday I had been fly fishing on the Millers River in Orange when a photographer from the newspaper spotted me waist-deep in the water on a 29 degree day, casting for trout. Essentially the sight of a person standing in a river on a cold winter day aroused the curiosity of the photographer and he wanted to know who was crazy enough to do such a thing. I gave him my name and permission to photograph me.
I wish to thank the good Lord for allowing so much enjoyment to one so undeserving, the mayor for his kindness, and The Republican for providing my family and friends with a bit of entertainment by publishing that photograph.

Romney's wealth shield from reality
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has to date refused to disclose his federal income tax returns. He did volunteer that his federal tax rate was "probably close to 15 percent."
To note: President Obama's tax return (which he has reported each year since he initially became a candidate) shows that he paid 26 percent on his family income. Romney further disclosed that in addition to investment income he received $374,327 for speeches in 2011, a figure which he is quoted as calling "not very much."
I guess that this may be pocket change to him, as his income and accumulated wealth puts him in the top 1/10th of 1 percent of Americans. As many Americans struggle in this economic downturn, Romney's cavalier dismissal of over $374,000 for a year's worth of speeches is insulting, and in my mind immoral.
"He is among the small percentage of the very wealthy Americans who have benefited enormously from shifts in federal tax policy" (NY Times 1/18), policy which allows private equity managers like Romney to treat their compensation (in his case Bain Capital) as capital gains and thus be taxed at 15 percent rather than at the normal income tax rate which would be considerably higher.
This is a loophole that is not available to the middle class or poor, but benefits only those who need it the least. Those, like Romney, who systematically avoid paying their "fair share" of taxes live the good life on the backs of hard-working Americans, many of whom are struggling or falling behind.
How is it possible that someone who is part of the problem of tax inequity would, if elected president, become part of the solution? I think not.

Councilor Ferrera machine politician
Shame on Springfield City Councilor James J. Ferrera III. Is there any bigger showboat on the council who consistently exemplifies the Peter Principle (elevating someone to their point of incompetence) than Ferrera?
As council president, he has a golden opportunity to help kick-start the arduous process of salvaging and rebuilding Springfield with (hopefully) well-thought out appointments to key leadership positions.
What does he do? He shuns two very capable and qualified councilors, Timothy C. Allen and Michael A. Fenton for the only reason of his fearing their agendas (none) and motives (crystal clear ... they love their hometown).
I must believe that this political transparency befuddles the stalwart council President so ... it's back to business as usual. I have known Tim Allen for over 25 years. I was both excited but a bit worried when he decide to jump into the "wood chipper" known as Springfield politics. His only motive was that he believed we can be a better city. All he wanted to do was contribute to that effort. He is intelligent, articulate and possesses not only a strong business acumen but most important, he has passion for his hometown.
Sad to say, but that gnawing worry I had of "the Machine" marginalizing someone with these attributes crystallizes each day that antics such as Ferrera's are tolerated. I can only surmise Ferrera's motives as being rooted in his fear and intimidation he feels when in the company of real players, not impostors.

Just three weeks down, but already a good deal of the Section III football regular-season races are starting to define themselves.
In some cases, it's just a couple of powers separating themselves - as in Class D East. Utica-Notre Dame was already 3-0, but Dolgeville joined them in an emphatic way, toying with fellow unbeaten Oriskany in a 47-6 Saturday romp.
Now, if it's a fight for third in D East, Mohawk has to get the edge, because they played Dolgeville much tougher and spent today going 58-0 on Richfield Springs, so the Mohicans are both a short-term and long-term Class D threat.
In D West, Onondaga wonders about some key injuries, and if the door is indeed open, Watertown IHC might just crash through it, hard. When the Cavaliers shut out Bishop Grimes 42-0 on Saturday afternoon, that made it three straight shutouts for IHC's defense. No one else in Section III can make that claim.
Two developments in the Class C ranks, as we eagerly await Bishop Ludden's trip north to face Thousand Islands next week. Cazenovia easily made it 3-0 by winning at Little Falls 47-19, while General Brown continued to match serve with the Vikings by breezing through Alexandria Bay 37-6.
Given the way Thousand Island smashed South Lewis, is it already too soon to make the Vikings and Lions the playoff teams in C North? Heck, the way they are playing, TI and GB might be better than the actual Vikings and Lions of the NFC North.
The Class B story included South Jefferson staying perfect with a 27-22 win at VVS. While never dominant, the Spartans have shown an ability to win the tight ones, outscoring the Red Devils 14-6 in the fourth quarter on this particular day. Maybe Oneida and Chittenango aren't sweating yet, but they would be foolish to take the men of Adams lightly.
Also, you had Marcellus, in a Saturday night special, laying 56 points on Phoenix, all in the first three quarters before Will Fiacchi and friends rested up for Westhill next Friday. Rest assured, every single man in green remembers how Dale Ross cut them up in last year's Class B semifinals and wants some payback. But with Mike DeCarr back, flinging it to Dan Ross, that won't be simple.

One man's legacy
When his daughter Jennifer was five, she was badly burned. Her nightgown had caught fire one morning as her parents slept. Hal managed to smother the flames with his bare hands but the damage was life-threatening for his precious girl-child. And the damage to his family didn't stop there. The guilt and pain of that day would have broken most families apart, but theirs held together out of sheer determination. Jennifer recovered after years of hospitalizations. She became a ballerina and later, a physical therapist.
At my uncle's memorial service recently, both his children recounted their father's professional accomplishments. Too numerous to catalog here, they include the championing of the Mental Health Professionals Law that led to the licensing of psychoanalysts in New York State.
I talked about our shared sailing adventures and said that, of all the adult role models in my life, he was the one who showed me the value of constancy in marriage, of fidelity and bravery in the face of tragedy. Not a bad legacy.

Bay City, Mich. - In a release from the league offices Thursday (Apr. 3) afternoon, Grand Valley State's Kelly Hartigan was named GLIAC Women's Golf "Athlete of the Week". The junior carded an even-par 72 to finish in a three-way tie for first place at the weather-shortened NC4K Classic on Monday (Mar. 31).
Hartigan parred the first playoff hole to top teammate Gabrielle Shipley and Findlay's Brooke Albers and claim medalist honors. It marks the second straight event the Lake Orion, Mich. native has finished atop the individual leaderboard.
Her stellar round also helped the Lakers win the NC4K Classic by 16 strokes.
GVSU will have this week off before returning to action at the JBMF Cavalier Classic next weekend. The two-day event will commence on April 13 and conclude the following afternoon.

"Glee" star Jane Lynch is divorcing her wife of three years, the 52-year-old actress announced Monday. Lynch married Lara Embry, 44, three years ago in Massachusetts, where same-sex marriage is legal. "Lara and I have decided to end our marriage. This has been a difficult decision for us as we care very deeply about one another," Lynch said in a statement. Gay marriage is not legal in California, but the state does recognize marriages from other states as legal so the couple is expected to dissolve the marriage. Sources say Embry and Lynch did not sign a prenup, so assets acquired during the marriage would be split 50/50.

Tony Awards host Neil Patrick Harris denies using a racial slur during the opening number on Sunday night's televised ceremony. The "How I Met Your Mother" star sang "we're going bigger" during a song-and-dance with boxer Mike Tyson, but some suspected he said otherwise. "Really, Daily Mail?!? The N-word? That's your story?!? I would NEVER be so disrespectful and frankly, neither should you," NPH tweeted Monday. "The actor categorically denies using the N-word; he said 'bigger' many times," a rep confirmed.

Jerry Bruckheimer still plans to make "Top Gun 2" despite rumors earlier this year that the project had fallen apart after director Tony Scott's suicide. "For 30 years we've been trying to make a sequel and we're not going to stop. We still want to do it with Tom [Cruise] and Paramount are still interested in making it," the famed producer said at a conference over the weekend. "What Tom tells me is that no matter where he goes in the world, people refer to him as Maverick, [his character's name in the 1986 original]. It's something he is excited about so as long as he keeps his enthusiasm hopefully we'll get it made." The Syracuse native is currently filming "Mission: Impossible 5," after a "Top Gun" sequel was delayed following Scott's death in August.

Freddie Mercury would love the latest viral video, a massive "Bohemian Rhapsody" singalong that broke out at London's Emirates Stadium last week. While the crowd of 60,000 people was waiting for Green Day on June 1, people spontaneously starting singing the Queen song together. Though the YouTube clip doesn't capture the whole impromptu performance, it's already picked up more than 150,000 views.
Did Shia LeBoeuf predict the NSA spying scandal? The 29-year-old whistleblower Edward Snowden is being called a "hero" for leaking information about the National Security Agency's covert surveillance on the American public, but the former "Transformers" actor knew about it years ago when he was promoting the 2008 movie "Eagle Eye." An FBI consultant on the set told him that "one in five phone calls are recorded" and proved it by playing audio of a conversation the actor had two years prior.

Did you miss me?
Just checking in to let you know that I'm still alive and I haven't abandoned my blog. (Like some other bloggers on PennLive.com....)
Where did the last month go?
My last blog entry was back on September 23rd. It doesn't feel like that much time has passed.
So, what have I been up to?
Well, I was in Atlanta for two weeks. When I'm home, I've been trying to exercise regularly and that cuts into my available blogging time. (Sorry, but that takes precedence over blogging.)
On the other hand, I have a ton of topics that I want to write about but I just don't have the time to do so. So, as I put off blogging, I get even more topics that I want to write about... but I'm not coming up with the time I need to write about the topics I've been meaning to write about in the first place. It's a vicious circle...
I've seen four additional movies in the past month, but I don't even know if it's worth writing about them now since some of them aren't even in the theaters any longer. Also, the new fall TV season is upon us and I have some new shows that I want to talk about.
And I still haven't even been to the new Wegmans!! :)
I'm on vacation next week, but I'm not going anywhere. Hopefully I can use that time to get my blog back on track.

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
When genres collide, you don't always know what to expect.
But the marketing campaign and the straight-forward title of "Cowboys & Aliens" makes things abundantly clear.
Jake (Daniel Craig) wakes up and doesn't know where he is or who he is. On his wrist is an odd metal device that refuses to come off.
A trio of opportunistic men show up and assume Jake's an escaped prisoner. The unarmed Jake dispatches them with brutal efficiency.
Right away, I'm thinking, This is good, and we're only into the first five minutes.
Col. Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford) and Jake are cut from the same hard, mean stuff. In a movie called "Cowboys," the pair of them and their allies would face off over two hours of screen time.
But the aliens in the title unleash a technologically advanced attack on an Old West town. They kill some and kidnap others.
Clearly, the aliens believe they're a superior race, but Jake, Dolarhyde and the rest are rugged, unyielding characters who'd rather die fighting than run scared.
Nat (Adam Beach) is an Indian who was raised by Dolarhyde, and he helps form a key alliance. The movie could've been called "Cowboys & Indians & Aliens."
Ella (Olivia Wilde) has lost loved ones to the aliens, too. She wears a dress with a holster slung around her hips, and she's as tough as anyone else.
My ten-gallon hat goes off to Jon Favreau, who directed this amalgamation of genres into a summer thrill ride. There's humor, gallow's and otherwise, along with scenes that had me twisting in my seat.
The cast and crew didn't do a seamless job. I realized I was in a theater a few times, trying to process all the action on screen, but that's a minor quibble.
I give "Cowboys & Aliens" an A.
It's showing at the Cinemark in Tupelo, as well as Malcos in Oxford, Corinth and Columbus, Hollywood Premier Cinemas in Starkville and Movie Reel 4 in New Albany.
Look for movie reviews in Scene on Thursdays, and listen each Tuesday morning on Wizard 106.7 between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m.
Roadkill Bill, Wizard 106.7
He gives the movie a B.
"It was 'Independence Day' meets "The Searchers' I had a good time."
Kelli Karlson Wizard 106.7. She gives it a B plus.
"I loved it and will see it again."

Seven young ladies and their troop leaders from the local Girl Scouts came to visit all of the abandoned strays and rescued animals at Pennsville Animal Rescue recently.
The local nonprofit group, FURever Friends, had the opportunity to teach the group important lessons about animal shelters and general pet care.
FURever Friends volunteers gave an interactive presentation that included what an animal shelter is, gave a tour of the shelter, what the shelter does for the rescues in their care, what the basic needs are for cats and dogs, made bracelets and picture frames, and, of course, they got to play with the rescues.
By the end of the evening, the girls earned a fun badge for the animal shelter visit.
The volunteers had a great time with the group, who were very active and engaged in the activities.
The girls and their troop leaders presented the volunteers with items that are always needed for the care of the animals — food, litter, and treats.
FURever Friends would like to thank Girl Scout Troop 94298 and their leaders for the opportunity to speak to them.
All of the volunteers are excited and looking forward to help the girls earn more of their badges throughout the summer.
The organization is striving to be more involved with the community for informational and educational purposes.
If you would like to contact the nonprofit group, call 856-851-1100 or visit them at 94 Industrial Park Road, Pennsville.
You can also visit them online at www.pennsvilleanimalrescue.net or Facebook (Pennsville Animal Rescue).

Tom Coughlin just wrapped his day-after conference call. A few items of interest:
*RB Brandon Jacobs' ankle is sore but nothing out of the ordinary. When asked if Jacobs underwent an MRI, Coughlin said, "No."
*S James Butler's hamstring injury is "moderate," according to Coughlin, who wasn't sure if Butler will be available to practice tomorrow. Asked how rookie Michael Johnson did in place of Butler, Coughlin said, "Michael Johnson did okay. He flies around, he's an aggressive guy, he's a good tackle, he's made his presence felt that way."
*Coughlin on K Lawrence Tynes, who missed his second PAT of the season: "We have to fight the best we can to get some consistency there (in the kicking game), which seems to come and go." Asked if he's still committed to Tynes as his kicker, Coughlin said, "Yes."
*Not much from Coughlin on the game in London, which he predictably called a "business trip." He said the team has done a good job of planning since the game was made official in February.

Louisiana coastal officials want to talk to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about changes to the Louisiana Coastal Area Restoration Plan, and this is the right time to re-evaluate the program.
State officials have long been concerned about the program's lengthy and costly planning and design process. They think that some projects could be built more quickly and with a lower cost, and that should be pursued.
A lot has taken place since Congress approved the program back in 2007, including a better understanding of wetland losses during Hurricane Katrina.
The program approved by Congress was truncated from the comprehensive coastwide plan preferred by the state because the Bush administration ordered the corps to change its focus from a comprehensive coastal restoration program to a short list of projects that could be done in 10 years.
But the program has moved slowly -- in large part because Congress has been reluctant to appropriate money -- and delays have resulted in an escalation of costs.
Now Louisiana has approved a 50-year, $50 billion coastal master plan, and state officials say that a number of projects currently in the Coastal Area Restoration Plan could be built faster and less expensively. That could be done under other federal programs controlled by the corps, under the authority of other federal agencies, with state money or with money from BP.
The state's timing could have been better. Congress is about to vote on an energy and water appropriations bill that includes $10 million for the coastal plan, which would be the first time money has been appropriated to build projects in the coastal plan.
As that's unfolding, state officials sent a letter to Col. Ed Fleming, the corps' local commander, asking the agency to terminate, suspend or change the cost-share agreements governing most of the coastal projects.
State officials described the letter as a draft and said it was meant to start a discussion with the agency. But the corps immediately asked if the state was abandoning the program.
The state has withdrawn that letter, and when it submits a new version, in the next few weeks, coastal officials need to make sure that the corps understands what Louisiana is trying to accomplish.
The state still wants the corps to oversee the more complex projects in the Coastal Area Restoration Plan, according to Garret Graves, the coastal authority chairman. But it wants to pursue several projects outside the auspices of the program, and that might be the best approach.

Ask Ryan Mahalsky anything about the history of Hillsborough XC. Go ahead, anything at all.
What's the Hillsborough record for a five-man average at Pleasant Valley Park?
``16:35 by the 2002 team,'' Mahalsky said without any hesitation.
How about the fastest time ever run at Holmdel Park by a Hillsborough runner?
Mahalsky started to answer that last one before I even finished the question.
``16:01 by Brian Dennis in 2004.
But after the way he ran yesterday, Mahalsky know finds himself as the answer to a Hillsborough XC trivia question.
Who is the fastest Hillsborough runner in the history of Pleasant Valley Park?
That's right, it's Mahalsky!!
The senior smashed his school's record for PV by placing second in 15:55 at the Somerset County Championships on Tuesday. CJ DeFabio of Watching Hills won the race in a blistering 15:45, which makes DeFabio the second fastest runner in course history.
Mahalsky's 15:55 also ties him for No. 9 in the PV history. Pleasant Valley has hosted the Somerset County Championships since 1996 and the Skyland Conference meet was held there from 2006 thru 2009.
Here's top 10 fastest times ever run at Pleasant Valley
15:25.2-Doug Smith, Gill St. Bernards, 2007
15:44.2-Doug Smith, Gill. St. Bernard's, 2008
15:45-CJ DeFabio, Watchung Hills, 2010
15:46.4-Dan Stiles, Somerville, 2007
15:47-Bobby Papazian, Gill St. Bernard's, 2004
15:47.4-Jermaine Coore, Franklin, 2007
15:52.2-Jermaine Coore, Franklin, 2007
15:53.8-Christian Gonzalez, Franklin 2006
15:55-Ryan Mahalsky, Hillsborough, 2010 and Doug Smith, Gill St. Bernard's 2006
15:56.8-Chris Southwick, Voorhees
So what record did Mahalsky break?
Don't ask me?
Ask Mahalsky.
``16:02 by Jordan Magath in 2008.''
Right again!
I could have asked Mahalsky 100 more questions in the lightning round about his school's history and he would have answered them all in rapid fire fasion.
This was the first time I ever spoke with Mahalsky, and needless to say I was very impressed by his knowledge. The interview with him was quite an education and I really love the kid's enthusiasm. I wish every kid studied his school's X-C and track & field history like Mahalsky. It would save me hours of research.
Mahlalsy now his eye on the Holmdel record by Dennis.
``That would be a great record to get,'' said Mahalsky, whose Holmdel best is 16:27, run at the Shore Coaches Invit. a few weeks ago. ``I'll be trying to get it.'''
Not bad for a kid who didn't start running until his sophomore year and got into the sport by accident.
``I used to play basketball, football and baseball and before football practice we'd run laps around the track,'' said Mahalsky. ``My friend (Kevin Pulsipher) was on the XC team and saw me running and said I had to stop playing football and run.''
Another thing about Mahalsky. Check out how this guy dropped his times each year
Pleasant Valley
It's always pretty cool to meet a kid with such ambition, who has busted his tail to go from an unknown to one of the best in the state.
I have become a big fan of Ryan Mahalsky. I hope he accomplishes all his goals.
I'm out !
Happy Trails!!
