Rumor: 2013 Shelby GT500 To Have At Least 600HP
According to sources at CarAndDriver, the 2013 Shelby GT500 will be more than ready to respond to the Camaro ZL1, as the GT500's power will be pushed to at least 600 horsepower.
Our well-informed sources say the stratospheric output figure, which could be as high as 620 horses, is the result of boring out the current 5.4-liter V-8 to 5.8 liters and swapping the existing Eaton M112 supercharger for the same firm's more-efficient and quieter TVS unit. This supercharger, with its four-lobe rotors, is the blower of choice for the Audi S4, Cadillac CTS-V, Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and, interestingly, the Camaro ZL1.
If this turns out to be true, we can knock out the possibility of that EcoBoost Shelby GT500 for the 2013 model year.
They also hint at design changes coming up for the 2013 model year but offer very little input as to what will change other than it will be "less retro" and "more modern and edgy".

Paul Osstifin enjoyed golfing, fishing and spending time with friends, but his family always came first.
"His family was No. 1. That is all there is to it," said his wife of 37 years, Linda Osstifin. "He was crazy about his grandchildren."
Paul Osstifin, 65, of Columbia Township died Tuesday night in a two-vehicle crash in southeast Lenawee County.
Osstifin was driving a two-door Honda west on U.S. 223 near Ogden Road about 9:40 p.m. when his car crossed into the eastbound lane, colliding with a Ford pickup truck, state police in Adrian reported.
The truck driver, Marvin Harris, 43, of Toledo, Ohio, and his passenger were not seriously injured, police said.
It is not known what caused Osstifin to cross the centerline.
His wife said he was heading home from Sylvania, Ohio, northwest of Toledo, where he had golfed with some friends.
He and Linda Osstifin grew up in Toledo and lived there until about 15 years ago, when they moved to Lake Columbia, Linda Osstifin said as she stood in the entry way of their lakeside home, a brick structure with a neat, green lawn.
Until then, they had a home in Toledo and a cottage on Wamplers Lake.
Paul Osstifin, a mechanical engineer, retired about five years ago from Teledyne Technologies Inc., which has a division in Toledo.
Since then, he had been golfing, fishing and spending time with his family, Linda Osstifin said.
The couple have a son, Jason; a daughter, Jennifer; and three grandchildren, Arielle, 5, Kaden, 3, and Wynter, 20 months.
Just last week, they had taken the children to The Parlour in Jackson, Linda Osstifin said.
As she spoke, she rubbed her forehead as if in pain. Her eyes were damp.
"It's devastating, absolutely mind-bogglingly devastating," she said. "I don't even know how to function."
She said they were to take a trip with friends who live on Lake Columbia in October, something they did every two years.
"We'd usually go to the Caribbean somewhere for a week," she said.
Now, she's not certain she will go.
"It's very difficult for me right now," she said.
Few, if any, people disliked Paul Osstifin, called "Ozzie" by close friends, she said.
"He's just outgoing. Very personable. He always liked to agitate and tease people. He's super well-liked," she said. "He's just a fun person. He makes people laugh, makes people feel good about themselves."

Here's what you may have missed on Wednesday in cops-related news across the midstate:
Police are still investigating a crash involving a motorcycle that left a Seven Valleys man dead in York Township earlier Wednesday morning.
Police in Wormleysburg released photographs of a truck they say was linked to the theft of a copper frog statue from the front of a business last week.
A Harrisburg area man wanted since late July was in the wrong place at the wrong time in Williamsport Monday.
Ronald Briley has been in prison since he was 14 years old for a robbery and shooting that belatedly killed the owner of a Harrisburg grocery store.
A Hummelstown teenager was allegedly driving under the influence in July when he drove his car into a gas main in Derry Township and forced the evacuation of more than 700 people from their homes, township police said Wednesday.
A fight broke out among students who were leaving Harrisburg High School Wednesday afternoon and resulted in city police responding to the scene, police said.

Updated at 9:25 p.m. Thursday, July 24, 2014 to include comments from Fire Chief John Pond about an ambulance service and department employees working for AMR.
Updated at 4:37 p.m. Thursday, July 24, 2014 to correct the city deficit, which is $3.6 million.
HOLYOKE -- So what do officials at American Medical Response think about the proposal of firefighters here to start an in-house ambulance service and eventually replace their company? They wouldn't say.
James McManus, of Slowey/McManus Communications of Boston, who said he's not a spokesman for American Medical Response (AMR) but a public relations consultant, said Thursday (July 24) the company declined to comment on a list of questions emailed by The Republican & MassLive.com.
The emailed questions were:
1. What does AMR think of Holyoke considering starting its own ambulance service?
2. Those who support such a plan, such as firefighters and some city councilors, argue firefighters know the streets better than AMR staff and thus are able to reach emergency addresses faster. Your thoughts on that?
3. I understand some Holyoke firefighters work part-time for AMR. How many?
4. Can you please detail AMR's ambulance coverage for Holyoke: Is there an ambulance ready in the city at all times?
5. Officials have said at public meetings that the city lets AMR park an ambulance at the former South St. fire station here for free or $1. Would AMR be willing to pay a higher "rental" fee for that space? That has come up at City Council meetings.
AMR is based in Greenwood Village, Colo. According to its website, AMR runs ambulances in more communities, about 2,100 in 40 states and the District of Columbia, than any other private ambulance company in the country. It employs 19,800 people and has a fleet of 4,200 vehicles.
"Our focus is clear, as stated in our company's values," the company website said. "Patient focused, customer centered, and caregiver inspired. We strive to embrace these values on every call we respond to, in every community we work in and on every day of the year."
The firefighters union, Holyoke Fire Fighters Association, Local 1693, International Association of Fire Fighters, on Monday submitted a 12-page proposal to the City Council Public Safety Committee for an ambulance service that would be run by firefighters.
The proposal envisions a phased-in ambulance service with firefighters, who respond to all medical calls anyway, initially backing up AMR and eventually taking over.
Buying two ambulances with equipment such as computers and software, training firefighters to operate the vehicles and licensing the ambulances would cost more than $400,000, the report said.
Some officials support the plan, and Mayor Alex B. Morse said he likes the idea of a phased-in approach of firefighters running an ambulance service.
"I think it would make it more efficient," Councilor at Large James M. Leahy said.
But cost also is a major concern of officials. The city began the fiscal year July 1 with a deficit of $3.6 million in the budget of $124.4 million, with the hope being that that will be plugged once the state Department of Revenue certifies the free cash available for the current fiscal year.
Another concern councilors raised is whether the city would recover ambulance reimbursement fees from patients and insurance companies to make the operation viable.
Union president Christopher Butler said the Massachusetts health reform law of 2006 reduced the number of uninsured people in the state, making it more likely the city would get ambulance fees reimbursed now than at previous times when the proposal was considered here.
Ambulance fees range from $236 to more than $2,500, according to the level of service provided, as listed on a chart of fees charged by cities and towns in the region and provided by Butler.
Fire Chief John A. Pond has said he supports having a Fire Department ambulance service.
"Councilor, I agree with you 100 percent we should have an ambulance service," Pond said at a June 9 City Council budget review, referring to Councilor at Large Daniel B. Bresnahan.
In response to a question that night from Ward 2 Councilor Anthony Soto, Pond said he was aware some department employees also work part-time for AMR. On Thursday, Pond said he was unsure how many department employees work for AMR, or other emergency medical services, referring questions to AMR.

Centuries ago, the English blamed venereal disease on the French; the French blamed it on the English. Hopefully we've advanced somewhat in assessing medical conditions.
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is currently trying to advance a private member's bill through Parliament calling for a national strategy to combat Lyme disease.
A Pictou County connection is that May, who ran in Central Nova in 2008, says her inspiration for this measure came from a New Glasgow woman. Brenda Sterling-Goodwin has regularly submitted letters to the editor describing how this strange affliction slips under the radar in common medical practice. Sterling-Goodwin has the disease herself, but says for years it was misdiagnosed.
Early diagnosis and treatment is key; left undetected, Lyme can have debilitating, chronic health effects. Chances are many people will know of someone who is affected.
First off, thank you to Sterling-Goodwin for her tireless campaign on this issue and for reminders of steps to avoid contacting it in the first place.
People and animals come in contact through the blacklegged tick. Given Nova Scotia has vast areas of woods and wild grass, this tick has a wide-open potential habitat.
Oddly, several years ago this province had a program in place to send any discovered blacklegged ticks for testing. But once it was determined that Lyme carriers were indeed in the area, the testing stopped.
How much sense does that make? Wouldn't people who remove a tick – from themselves or a pet – be better informed about any need for treatment if they knew that particular insect was carrying the bacteria?
Hence the need for a national strategy.
May, MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands, B.C., has said she hopes MPs won't treat this bill with partisan dismissal. In fact, she's talked to some in other parties who recognize the importance and have voiced support.
We trust our own MP, Peter MacKay, is aware of the urgency of this strategy and prepared to support the bill. He might also have some ability to persuade fellow House members of the importance.

Americans 'favor diplomacy over military action on Iran'? Well, not exactly
Since we run our own tracking of Iran polls, we pretty much know what they say about American public opinion as it relates to policy options on Iran (you can see our Iran Trend tracker here). To sum it up very briefly: Americans do not want Iran to become a nuclear power; they want to prevent such scenario from happening.
When presented with various options for halting Iran's nuclear program, they'd choose the less violent option (diplomacy, sanctions) over attacking Iran. That's quite reasonable. However, when Americans are presented with only two options – learning to live with a nuclearized Iran or attacking it to prevent this from happening, they tend to support an attack (but not as consistently).
Three days ago, the Council on Foreign Relation has released its updated report on Public Opinion on Global Issues, a report that includes a chapter on Dealing with Iran's Nuclear Program. Here's what this chapter says – a conclusion that is almost identical to ours:
The interpretive CFR tone, though, is a bit different from ours. Look at the manner and the language Stewart Patrick of CFR employs as he describes the report's findings to CFR and The Atlantic readers:
Have something to say about this? Join the debate at Rosner's Domain on Facebook
Patrick also provides the readers with a link to a graph of polls – a graph that includes only the results of the polls that reflect his ultimate argument:
Reading through his article I was struggling to find a word of explanation that could put these findings in context – but all I found was this:
American support for military force rises if depicted as a last resort. In 2011, the German Marshall Fund (GMF) presented U.S. and European citizens with two options: take "military action against Iran" or "simply accept that Iran could acquire nuclear weapons." Faced with this scenario, 49 percent of Americans and 42 percent of Europeans favored the use of military force. (This question assumed, somewhat problematically, that military force would necessarily achieve the goal of dismantling the Iranian nuclear program.)
I'm sorry, but this is a manipulative way of presenting the findings. The author emphasizes the fact that presented with an option of diplomatic prevention, most Americans would prefer it to military action (and why wouldn't they?), without even hinting that the possibility of diplomatic prevention is viewed by some as an illusionary course.
On the other hand, when Patrick reports that the majority would support an attack if this were the only option for prevention, he hastens to dismiss such a line of questioning, on the grounds that it "problematically [assumes] that military force would necessarily achieve the goal of dismantling the Iranian nuclear program". Well, doesn't the first line of questioning, the one with many options, also "problematically [assume that diplomacy] would necessarily achieve the goal of dismantling the Iranian nuclear program"?
In Patrick's tone there's clear motivation: He wants his readers to assume that the public opposes an attack on Iran. But that is not what the polls are telling us. Patrick might be right to be skeptical about the option of attack, as Prime Minister Netanyahu might be right to be skeptical about diplomacy. No option is free of weaknesses, and no option assures success.
Looking at polls though, is not the way for one to get an answer on the right policy, it is a way for one to understand where the public stands. And unlike the impression Patrick creates, the public is undecided on the method but quite sure about the desired outcome: Iran's nuclear program must be stopped - by whatever means the pollster puts before us.

Skip to comments.Natural selection cannot explain the origin of life (Darwin's epic failure re: comprehensive ToE)
Posted on 11/12/2009 8:53:24 AM PST by GodGunsGuts
While Charles Darwins On the Origin of Species has been described as a grand narrativea story of origins that would change the world,1 ironically his book very pointedly avoided the question of the origin of life itself.
This ought not be surprising. Darwins theory of the origin of species by means of natural selection2 presupposes self-reproduction, so cant explain the origin of self-reproduction.
Unfortunately, many proponents of evolution seem unaware of that. They dont acknowledge that natural selection requires pre-existing life. As leading 20th century evolutionist Theodosius Dobzhansky lamented: ...
(Excerpt) Read more at creation.com ...
Alfred Wallace, who co-founded the theory of evolution with Charles Darwin, was a pioneer in pychic research. Just wanted to throw that out there...
Then the article goes on to quote all the 'evolutionists' that DO acknowledge that natural selection requires pre-existing life. So what is the got-ya?? Where's the evos that say that natural selection works on non-life (the dead) as this title says? Another imaginary straw man to beat up?
written by a 19th century scientist and though his basic principles are sound there is so much more to it than Darwin's original treatise...and an infinite number of facts that need to be uncovered...it will never be a complete picture as we are limited to what can be wrested from the earth...but there is no reason to lose ones faith in God and his creation...to believe in evolution ...neither are mutually exclusive of each other.
I think it is disingenuous to argue that the origin of life is irrelevant to evolution
evolutionist Gordy Slack, The Scientist, June 2008.
When dealing with people who need to lie to find an argument, its probably best to laugh at them and walk away.
right on
Such a gnat you are.
Copout. The only viable explanation for the origin of life is Creation/Intelligent design. Darwin's so-called "theory" = EPIC FAIL.
"Natural selection cannot explain the origin of life..."
You finally got it right!
One of the stupidest headlines ever..
That's like saying that "Medical experts say LAsik surgery will NOT allow x-ray vision"...
Lasik surgery does not attempt to create X-ray vision.
Evolutionary theory does not attempt to explain the origins of life.
Plain dumb.
I have follow Evolution and Creation debates on Free Republic. Most Freepers that agree with Evolution understand the Darwinism does not address the Origin of Life issue.
Now, I know that science education in the United States sucks big time, but I am not convinced that it sucks enough for someone to confuse such elementary concepts. So, I start suspecting that our YE creationists here are actually Leftist provocateurs. The cui bono rule of thumb certainly suggests such possibility, because painting the conservative movement as ignorant benefits the Left. By, for example, depriving us of the credibility to challenge (using rational arguments) their global warming religion, their beliefs in successful socialist economy, etc.
RE :"I think it is disingenuous to argue that the origin of life is irrelevant to evolution"( evolutionist Gordy Slack)
That's it? Is that even his complete sentence? You got the source text so we can see what he is talking about? For all I know from this text he was arguing for Creation.
Mutant CO2.
The first living cell got selected from where?
Somehow it assembled/got assembled from something and because of it's suitability for survival, survived to reproduce.
But evos constantly dodge the question of where the first one came from.
Let's see. A lightning spark or a volcano fart on an isolated blob of goo resulted in a form that all at once could intake nutrients, expel waste, preform respiration, reproduce, repair DNA and other systems. Give me a break. The people who believe this have great faith in a belief system or are stupid.
Sure, to avoid confusing two separate matters. Natural selection (of existing live organisms) is one thing, the origin of life is another. Now, what do you want to discuss, the mechanism of evolution, or the origins of life?
Or both.
Maybe God created it. Maybe not. Maybe they dodge it because they were not there when it happened and there are no fossils. Maybe the ones you are talking about just address things they know about....Maybe the creationist got-ya game turns this professionalism into a negative.
Seems like creation origins evidence is the same quality as what the those evos have that make up their own theories on it, NONE.
Physics does not explain the origin of life.
Chemistry does not explain the origihn of life.
Immunology does not explain the origin of life.
Endocrinology does not explain the origin of life.
Cell biology does not explain the origin of life.
Genetics does not explain the origin of life.
Population biology does not explain the origin of life.
Developmental biology does not explain the origin of life.
Unfortunately, many proponents of evolution seem unaware of that. They dont acknowledge that natural selection requires pre-existing life.
I am fully aware that evolution and natural selection presupposes that life exists. This is not only a freakin' stupid thing to say, it is also just a strawman to kick around.
So, natural selection could only work on a living organism that could produce offspring. By its very definition natural selection could not work on non-living chemicals.
Ummmm....yeah. ANOTHER absolutely freakin' stupid thing to sauy. D'uh......my bottle of phosphoric acid does not evolve through natural selection. Yes, natural selection does not work on animals that cannot reproduce.
Darwin himself was well aware that he had not produced such an account. It now seems to me that the findings of more than fifty years of DNA research have provided materials for a new and enormously powerful argument to design.
Baseless statement....strike three.
Lemme guess..."it's complicated, thusly...God did it"
"the historical development of a biological group (as a race or species) : phylogeny b : a theory that the various types of animals and plants have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations; also : the process described by this theory"
NOTHING about origins of life.
Well metmom could generously grant you the one living cell and you'd still have nothing intelligible to discuss.
Or even more generously grant you the amoeba. Now please explain how it 're-programs itself' into another genus. How does it create the more complex organs and limbs needed?
I'll go get the popcorn and hurry right back.
No, science is (or should be) about trying to explain what they find, fossils in this case. Making up 'origins' theories based on nothing is Creationists turf. That's called faith.
Say the first cell was really created... that says nothing about Noah's Ark or the other Books of Moses. Creationist logic says "Until you evos prove how life came to, the entire Bible must be treated like a modern science book. We dont have to prove anything. ". That's called , "heads I win,tails you lose" You can claim your biblical interpretation is fact for all time with no basis what so-ever. And that is the rules you make.
Where did the first cell come from?
From what did IT evolve?
The questions are not two separate issues, as evos like to present. The chemical reactions that allegedly gave rise to the first life are all part of one continuum.
At what point did life first become life? Or did it just pop into existence and then we pick up the ToE from there?
Because you guys are still unable to comprehend that, for example, you can't watch CNN on your lawn mower. Natural selection ONLY applies to existing, living things, capable of producing offspring. Conversely, when you are talking about origins of life, you DO NOT have the factors of adjustment of the organism to the environment, transforming energy, producing offspring etc. Yet GGG wants to mix these two things, to produce an argument that natural selection doesn't work. Sure, your lawn mower doesn't work either! Can you watch CNN on it? No? Gotcha!
So, what do you want to talk about today? The origins of life? OR how the existing life evolves?
You are both a bit math challenged and possibly have done little if any computer code in your lives right?
Slight changes in any [DNA] code will not cause it to morph into a new kind or life-form. Even with trillions of years the math is not there to support the number of changes needed with even just 1% change in the DNA. Not too mention that most code will break when you keep introducing change.
No need to hurry. You already know that no good answer is forthcoming.
Evos aren't obligated to answer it because it isn't part of the ToE, dontcha know?
The theory of evolution does not say that the first cell evolved. I gave you guys the definition from the Webster. Read it, with understanding, please.
So your saying that if the Temple of Darwin were to ever find a naturalistic origin of life that it wouldn't be considered part of evolution? PLEASE!
Seeing as Darwin's "theory" has nothing to do with the origin of life, your logic = EPIC FAIL.
"Where did the first cell come from?"
That's completely irrelevant. But you know that.
All naturalistic attempts to explain the origin of life have utterly and totally failed. The only empirical explanation for the origin of the complex, specified, super-sophisticated digital DNA code is Creation/Intelligent Design.
Its "Snap Your Finger" time again.
Which is an idiotic statement in light of the scientific evidence, especially when the alternative offered is about as sophisticated as this:
Actually, it does have to do with the origin of life in that Darwin's evo-atheist creation myth can't explain it. If the evos ever do manage to explain the origin of life (which of course they won't) via naturalistic processess then they will call it evolution. As such, Darwin's evo-atheist creation myth = EPIC FAIL!
It seems that adherents to evolution have a greater faith in God as the creator than the YECs on FR do.
That would be a demotion from an ankle biter, wouldn't it?
Precisely. Evolution is one thing, origins quite another. Evolution involves natural selection. Any hypothetical naturalistic explanation of the origins of life would be likely based on an entirely different concept of probability.
Sorry for the typo in #46 - I am typing on a small keyboard.
Gonna ask for my science credentials again?
Even with trillions of years the math is not there to support the number of changes needed with even just 1% change in the DNA.
Baseless statement that presupposes the DNA in all genomes is as extensive as the current organism with the most DNA basepairs...in addition to extremely low mutation rates never before seen in an organism.
....but talk about "math challenged"....the human genome is about 3,000,000,000 base pairs...the human DNA mutation rate is about 100-200 mutations per generation...call it 100. Let's see.....1 trillion years.....estimate a generation at say 20 years.....makes it 50 billion generations.
50 billion generations times 100 mutations/generation is 5 trillion mutations.....or about a 1667% change in the genome over 1 trillion years.
You have exactly ZERO standing in calling other "math challenged"....but I'll await the next ignorant comment.

Both won their first-round matches Wednesday at St. Clair River Country Club to advance to the Sweet 16 along with Flint's Abby Hagan. The other four Flint-area players who reached match play were eliminated.
The Bauers are in opposite halves of the 32-player draw so if they can win three more matches apiece, they'd meet for the championship Friday afternoon.
"That's a long ways down the road," Ashley said before admitting "I looked and saw we were in opposite halves of the bracket. That would be pretty cool" to meet in the final.
Ashley, who reached the semifinals of this event in 2007 and 2008, beat Molly Esordi of Grosse Ile 3 and 2 to advance to the Sweet 16 against Sarah Johnson of Wixom.
"It was really up and down," said Bauer, the No. 4 seed who recently completed a brilliant four-year career at Michigan. "I had a couple of not-so-good holes. I got a couple of good bounces but I was never more than 1 up until the last couple holes.
"I definitely have high expectations."Meagan Bauer, the No. 11 seed, beat Davison's Michelle Bowles 3 and 1 to reach the Sweet 16 for the second time. Bauer will play Alexandra Lipa of Birmingham in the second round.
"I played pretty well, pretty consistent," said Bauer, who will be a junior on Michigan's team next season. "I was pretty happy. I love this tournament. I was looking forward to it."
Hagan, playing in her first state amateur, has been among the most consistent players in the field. She shot 76-75 to grab the eighth seed in match play and then knocked off Ashley Smith of Plymouth 3 and 1 in the first round.
"I was very happy with the way I played," said Hagan, who will be a sophomore on Aquinas College's team next season. "I really only had one or two bad holes. Everything else I parred. It was just hitting it in the fairway and on the green. Very consistent.
"I really had no expectations going into this. Every round that I've made it so far has been wonderful. If I go out tomorrow and get my butt kicked, well I made it to the Sweet 16. It's not like I have ever done this before. It's like icing on the cake."
Joining Bowles on the sidelines after the first round were Swartz Creek's Stephanie Koske, Flint's Darci Stocker and Flushing's Lindsey McPherson.
Koske lost 3 and 2 to Lindsay Lammers of Milan, Stocker lost on the 19th hole to Alainna Stefan of Dearborn after her par putt on the 18th hole stopped one rotation short of giving her a victory, and McPherson lost in 19 holes to future Michigan State teammate Christine Meier of Rochester Hills.
Meier advanced to play Hagan in the second round.
The tournament was a learning experience for McPherson, who had not only never played in the Women's Am before but was in match play for the first time.
"It was different," said McPherson, who graduated from Powers Catholic last month. "Christine was really, really nice to me. I wasn't sure what to do, when to give putts and when you can't. The whole match-play experience really helped me out.
"I played pretty well. I let a couple strokes get away from me. I hit two shots out of bounds. Eliminate those and I've got myself a win. Match play is all about getting pars."

From my little testing this appears to be how chi burst heals. Any players inside the red lines would get healed. It "appears" to be 8 yards total wide, 4 yards each side of the middle line. Still more testing needs to be done.

Sophisticated yet simple, the Asquare table by Dutch designer Buro Bruno seems to be derived from the Origami art of folding paper.
It is the elegant result of a workshop on rapid manufacturing at TNO Eindhoven.
With its structure acting as decoration as seen through the glass tabletop, the table reminds of the logical and intricate, effortless design of a star fractal.
Elegant and original, the Asquare table makes for a graceful reading, corner or coffee table, and can easily furnish a living room or a terrace.

The Hudson County Alliance to End Homelessness is looking for volunteers for its, "point-in-time" homeless count tomorrow.
People are needed for all of the shifts throughout the 12 Hudson County municipalities. If a volunteer is familiar with a specific area or neighborhood of Hudson County, they will be assigned to that particular area.
"We are seeking volunteers who want an opportunity to assist our homeless neighbors -- not to look 'past' them, but to attempt to be part of the solution," officials said.
There will be training and orientation sessions at the beginning of each shift for the count, which will be conducted over two shifts -- from 3:30 to 7 p.m. and from 7 to 10:30 p.m.
Especially needed, officials said this morning, are Spanish-speaking volunteers to survey dinner guests at shelters in North Hudson; and volunteers to man the drop-in center at 118 Summit Ave. in Jersey City, starting at 11 a.m.
People wishing to volunteer or donate items can contact organizers at firstname.lastname@example.com
Volunteers, who must be 18 or older, will be led by experienced social workers and many of the teams will be accompanied by police officers. As well as conducting the homeless count, volunteers will be distributing supplies to the homeless.
The Hudson County Alliance to End Homelessness is also requesting that community volunteers consider collecting donations of items such as, gift cards, sleeping bags or blankets, snacks or any other clothing donations such as hats, scarves, gloves and coats possible for the homeless individuals and families.
The volunteers, however will not be required to bring anything at all. "Volunteers will be supplied with what they need, such as the maps and lists of predetermined locations to visit, the anonymous survey forms, clipboards, pens, flashlights, water, snacks, etc., as well as all the donated items we are working to collect and distribute," officials said.
Volunteers should dress casually, comfortably and most important, weather-appropriately.
"The volunteers will have a diverse experience and opportunities to contribute on several levels, personal, civic and societal. Volunteers will have unique opportunities -- to provide life-saving food and supplies, to be part of a nationwide effort to study issues surrounding homelessness -- issues affecting people who are experiencing the worst a society can offer (or not offer)," officials said.
Officials for the homeless count emphasized the importance of the survey, noting that "The information and insights illuminated by the survey will assist cash-strapped social services agencies to prioritize scarce resources in the most effective and compassionate ways."

It's 6:20 P.M. Friday night and my baked potato is bouncing up and down on my table. I know for a fact that it's Friday because Sam down the hall plays his death metal music at an ear splitting volume for 1.5 hours every week. He will eventually wander off to his local punk club and then "Mr. Reggae" will crank up his tunes on the other side of the hall.
Nothing bothers me anymore except when the neighbour on the left starts some sort of band practice with amplifiers at 11 pm. What I do not like is sometimes having to spend most of my day to do laundry. People kind of adopt the casual laid back dressing here and some look, well, a tad dusty.
So heaven forbid you do laundry when two people who have obviously not washed in a month decide it's laundry day. There will be grocery shopping carts in the small room loaded with enough laundry to ship on a goodwill mission to some third world country. You know that they are going to wash for hours in the only two washers that are available. When you finally get a washer there is going to be enough dog and cat hair in there to knit a fancy mohair scarf.
I push my cart into the laundry room and greet someone old enough to be my son. He smiles and says,
"Boy I see you doing laundry a lot," and then shakes his head.
I want to scream at him that yes I do laundry frequently because I prefer to wear clean underwear every day. I remain silent as I know that would probably be over his head as he does not wear underwear. I can also vouch his sparing of the briefs has nothing to do with saving the environment as I watch him pour his "Green" detergent into the soap compartment.
The laundry sign says not to use more than ¼ cup but seeing that he looks like he left his mother barely weeks ago I am not shocked to see him pour in an endless river. I want to bang on the information sign above him and point but my eyes are too busy trying to avoid the young plumber's crack that is being flashed.
I notice the dryer is full of someone's clothes and they are cold. Sometimes clothing is left in the laundry room for days, and weeks even. I often ponder what they wear, seeing I run out of clothing quickly and wonder if they are caring for their jeans in the new fashionable way. Knowing that these people have not watched much of the Style channel nor read Rachel Zoe's column I quickly erase this out of my mind.
I realize that I should change my laundry days but I am old and stubborn. I finally get my laundry in and see the washer next to me has almost the same time left. I choose not use the extra ten minutes so I can score the good dryer first.
An hour later I run down as fast as I can to see that my washer still has one minute left. I have no idea how the timers work on these machines as when there is one minute left it is usually about eight. It does not make sense and I lean against the washer wondering how these women get their cheap thrills on a washing machine.
Is it the washer or the dryer? The washer is far too cold looking and I think that the dryer might be better if I let it run on high-setting 20 minutes beforehand. Or maybe add a large blanket that might cause some drum imbalance? That might be better than a deluxe vibrator at the "Good Vibrations" store.
I look at the dryer and see it is still full of cold dry clothes. Taking charge I put them all into a laundry basket. One thing about these kids is that they know how to do laundry as they separate their whites and colours. I have never done that in my life and I actually refuse to.
It's much like someone telling me that I cannot wear white after Labour Day. I don't like rules so I do not separate anything. I don't own any whites anyways so it all goes in together. Whatever does not make it through a wash just does not make it and that's that!
I notice a sock clinging for life and know that had I not pulled it out there would be one more sock missing in this world. Another life saved. Junior comes back in and takes the lint filter out and cleans it. I shake my head. He cleans the lint filter, separates the whites yet wears no underwear.
I walk by 15 minutes later to get the mail and see him sitting on top of the dryer. Obviously he has figured out that imbalance in the dryer does the trick. Now if he would only learn the perils of not wearing underwear he will be on his way to making someone a fine husband some day.

They just do!! Teehee!! :D
Doris: LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I am on the floor hahaha
I don't know anyone this has actually worked for but I'd assume there are variations. Like maybe if you like it rough you'd want the washer and put all the towels on one side for an unbalanced load, bummer if the alarm goes off and it stops. Maybe the dryer has a quicker vibration but it all looks uncomfortable to me.
I vote that you clear the laundry room on your preferred days by doing a little acting and fake it. Don't forget to hide your camera so we can see vids of commando boy as he notices what you're doing.
Kenny.. one of my fave shows..
Steve sometimes I think you are an old soul and you were Houdini in another lifetime..:)
Bob did we really want to know??:)
Ahh Jack.. thats why I love you so much.. you have the mentality of a pirate:)
Sheila: reminds me of my boys... You need to smell my oldest sons hockey equipment.. Even Tide cant get that smell out.
marsha: so glad you can enjoy Curb with us now..:)
Geezerchick: NO its not..:) Maybe it should be hahhaa
Werner: HMMMMM dont let jack heart see your comment.. he will find her hahaha
I'm almost ashamed to admit that I break out in a cold sweat trying to figure out the washing machine, on the rare occasion that I have to do the laundry I just turn the dial to something, take a chance, a bit like a roulette wheel (but I don't gamble) dump some detergent into the tub and hope for the best, which means the retrieved items will be recognizable, in the same general shape and that they haven't all merged into the same color.
I usually do the dishes (I do pots and pans by hand, rest in the dishwasher), don't mind vacuuming and will clean the windows, luckily my wife doesn't like using a computer, so the odds of her reading this are somewhere between slim and none and I don't submit to blackmail, should someone threaten to tell her :-).
I just find the washing machine intimidating.
HHAHAHAHAHA! Laundry is a huge topic around here, I told the boys not to bring it home, do not decorate their rooms with it when they are home and they need to leave their rooms looking like a hotel room when they depart after a visit. I don't have a fancy laundry room and their dirty laundry smell actually could bring in the EPA. So, glad they have an apartment this year and are supposed to do their own.....operative word, 'supposed'. They may just find someone to do it for them, most likely not a relation, if you get my drift.....hahahahahah

Orchard Park, N.Y. — No team wants to get the kind of news the Buffalo Bills received on a Tuesday night in early July.
Kiko Alonso, a rising star on Buffalo's defense, tore his ACL while working out in Oregon, likely ending his 2014 season before it began. Alonso wasn't just the Bills' best linebacker, he was one of the leaders of the defense and a player that brought contagious energy.
Without Alonso, the Bills' linebackers will be a much different looking group in 2014, but that was likely going to be the case with or without the second-year star. The Bills added Brandon Spikes and Keith Rivers in free agency. Alonso was preparing to make the switch from inside linebacker to weak-side linebacker this season before his injury.
Losing Alonso's hurts, but that isn't the only thing that will be different about the Bills' linebackers in 2014.
1. The Bills' run defense should improve
While Alonso had a breakout rookie season, he was unable to carry the Bills' run defense on his own. Buffalo allowed more than 128 yards per game on the ground, which was partially due to the fact that it was often trailing late in games. Still, allowing the fifth-most rushing yards per game can hardly be spun into a positive.
That's why the Bills went out and signed Spikes and Rivers, two players who aren't quite as athletic as Alonso but are more seasoned in run defense. Spikes is one of the best run-stopping linebackers in the NFL, and Rivers had a bounce-back year with the Giants in 2013. Having more run stoppers at linebacker will be a welcome difference to the Bills' defense this season.
2. The Bills' linebackers won't be as aggressive
One of the defining characteristics of Alonso's game is his aggressiveness. He's a fast linebacker who makes a lot of exciting plays because of his combination of instincts and willingness to take chances. Alonso was a perfect fit for Mike Pettine's blitz-heavy defense.
Well, with Alonso out and Pettine in Cleveland, the Bills' linebackers won't be quite as aggressive in 2014. Rookie Preston Brown has some similar tendencies to Alonso but isn't quite the same athlete. New defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz doesn't utilize the blitz as often as Pettine did, either. He prefers to generate pressure with the front four alone, and Buffalo has the talent up front to make that happen.
3. The Bills' linebackers may struggle in coverage
Part of what helped Alonso get the league's attention as a rookie was his coverage ability, particularly the turnovers he created. Alonso had four interceptions in 2013 and was among the best coverage linebackers in the NFL.
What the Bills have gained in run defense this offseason they have lost in coverage. Spikes and Rivers haven't shown the same ability to stick with tight ends in coverage that Alonso showed in just his first season in the league. Make no mistake, Alonso will be missed in this area.

Hamby, a student at Michigan School for the Deaf who was recently profiled by MLive-The Flint Journal, is particularly fond of the Detroit-based musician Sean Forbes, a musician who was born deaf.
(See the full story on Christian Hamby here.)
Hamby, who also has a rare muscular disease, recently made a Yourtube video of himself signing the words to the song "Watch These Hands." (See below.)
He's always been a fan of Forbes, but recently had the chance to meet him.
According to a letter between Forbes and someone who works with his nonprofit, D-PAN, which is aimed at bringing more music and culture to the deaf community, Forbes recounted the time he made a surprise visit to Hamby's home.
"I was humble about the visit, but he asked me if he could post pictures on facebook and I said sure...... Sure enough all of the kids at school were immediately jealous, (writing), 'Why didn't Sean stop by my house too!!!' which was awesome because here is a kid that everyone at the school looked at very differently and now were immediately treating him with utmost respect. I've always wanted to make sure that these kids learned from this experience that no matter what walk of life each of us might experience, we must all treat each other the same," Forbes wrote, later adding, "He's a great kid."
Hamby's grandmother, Susan Dishaw, set up the visit. She wrote to Forbes to tell him how much his visit meant to Hamby.
"Sean, you inspire so many kids, but with Christian he has not been the same since you came into his life," she wrote.
According to MLive-Flint Journal files, Hamby has always enjoyed signing the words to Forbes's music, but on Aug. 19 he decided to share that passion with the rest of the world on Youtube.

Do you buy coupons on eBay?
We have not talked about buying coupons on eBay much lately. It seemed like every time we brought up the idea controversial conversation began! We are not much for controversy, so we have kind of avoided the subject. Our stance on eBay coupons has always been that eBay would not allow coupons to be sold online if there was a problem with it. eBay monitors their sellers pretty closely for suspicious activity. So we have never had a problem with buying coupons on eBay. We always check to make sure the coupons are listed in the coupon database so we know they are legitimate coupons before we make a purchase. But despite eBay's watchful eye some people have been abusing the selling of coupons on eBay, so stricter guidelines have been put in place by eBay.
New eBay Coupon Seller Policies:
- Sellers can only sell up to a maximum of $100 value in coupons or 25 valid, unexpired, original coupons per month, whichever limit is reached first. (The 25 coupons limit includes multiple coupons purchased from a multi-quantity listing.)
- Coupons for "free" products—including coupons where the coupon holder buys some quantity of items at one price and gets some number of items for free, for example, "buy-get-one-free" offers, or offers for free shipping—may no longer be sold on eBay.
- Starting September 1, 2013, listings for these coupons that don't comply with these policy changes will be removed. After September 1, listings in violation of this policy may be subject to a range of other actions, including restrictions of buying and selling privileges and a suspension of your account.
What does this mean for you?
- If you like to buy coupons on eBay it is going to be more difficult for you to find coupons because the supply will be down due to the new restrictions.
- You will no longer be able to get BOGO coupons on eBay. It is good that they are taking off the free coupons because those are much harder to regulate. We never bought them or recommended that people buy free coupons because they do not show up in the coupon database. It is really hard to know if coupons for free products are legit if you don't get them directly from the manufacturer.
How will you get more coupons now?
Don't despair. You can still get the coupons you need. Find a coupon clipper that you like. See our full list of coupon clippers.
More places to find coupons…
- Manufacturers websites
- Manufacturers facebook pages (Facebook Coupons we have found, keep in mind they are while supplies last)

Moon jelly's upper body can reach up to 12 inches in width
The aurelia aurita, more commonly known as the moon jelly, has enchanted humanity for generations.
With no brain, heart, eyes or ears, they float along the oceans' currents carefree and majestic. Their lives begin around summertime when an adult male's sperm floats through the ocean until it meets an adult female. Her fertilized eggs then begin to develop in pockets in her arms. During autumn, the eggs are released as free-swimming larvae known as planulae, which float in the water until they find a hard surface to anchor onto.
From there, they morph into a polyp, a small anemone-looking structure. The polyp uses asexual reproduction to release dozens of tiny immature jellyfish known as ephyrae. The ephyrae resemble snowflakes and will remain in this immature stage for around three months. Within this time, the ephyrae mature into the moon jelly's final stage, the medusa.
Although they are still not fully grown, they are more recognizable after developing some of their adult characteristics. But they have not yet developed their four gonads situated at the bottom of the stomach.
Resembling a loosely arranged four leaf clover the gonads are the moon jelly's reproductive organs and their most distinguishing feature.
Once fully grown, the moon jelly lives around six months to a year, and their bell-shaped upper body can reach up to 12 inches in width.
Like all of the moon jelly's stages, the medusa relies primarily on the ocean currents for locomotion. However, they do have muscle cells in their upper body called coronal muscles.
They can contract these muscles and achieve movement this way, not to get from place to place but to keep themselves near the surface of the water.
The water's surface has the highest concentration of plankton, a source of food for the moon jelly. Stinging cells known as nematocysts that line their tentacles are used in some cases as self-defense, but primarily to kill passing prey.
Dead or alive, the moon jelly's prey becomes entangled in the mucous layer that covers them before being moved along eight canals that deposit food into the stomach and then get broken down by digestive enzymes.
Staying at the surface also can be a greater risk for the moon jelly. If they get too close to the surface, some shore birds will snatch them for food. Other predators include larger fish, sea turtles and humans.
In some areas, jellyfish are caught for food, or sometimes, jellyfish populations will be lowered simply to put tourists at ease. The moon jelly's thin body leaves it easily affected by water pollution and more susceptible to being washed ashore where they cannot survive.
Despite its many obstacles and delicate appearance the moon jelly is a resilient animal. It can be found in oceans all around the world from warm to cool water temperatures. Although it is unknown how long the moon jelly has been around, jellyfish in general have been evolving and surviving for millions of years.
It would truly be a tragedy if the world lost these marvelous creatures. But with everyone's help, the moon jelly can continue fostering wonder in people of all ages for years to come.

My name is Irene A Martell. I use to work for SCC Social Services. I was the Chief Steward for SEIU Local 715 and was often invited to many communitiy functions. On most of these events I would always look for one particular table to sit at, The Council on Aging. I was in my mid 40's and the ladies at the table would always welcome me by saying, "It's so wonderful to have young people sit at our table" (Imagine that, they would call me a young person). I learned a lot by sitting at their table, that they were young at heart, that they still had a lot of life in them to help others, and that they had feelings and gratitude that young people had not forgot them. I learned that disabilities and getting older doesn't discriminate, it will reach us at one point or another. As a Native American (Mexican) I have witnessed that the Circle of Life does come full circle (Imagine me, now a client of Sourcewise). You reap what you sow. I want to encourage our members to encourage our young people to invest in their future by being a part of Sourcewise.

SVILC is a caring, loving and compassion nonprofit. They have people who work at SVILC who can help a client to become independent and staying independent. The staff at SVILC is a GREAT NONPROFIT ORG!
SVILC has been EXTREMELY helpful in assisting with a wide range of resources for housing and much more. I'd recommend their services to ANYONE with a disability. THANKS SVILC!!
The class taught us independence skills. I really appreciate being part of this company.
The staff at SVILC are really great to work with. I have been a client of SVILC for about six years.
I was a peer counselor for about three years and SVILC has helped me get through some hard times when my parents passed away. SVILC has helped me keep on going so that I can reach my goals in my everyday life with my jobs. They're awesome.

Silicon Valley Independent Living Center is a nonprofit organization that serves people of all ages with all types of disabilities throughout Santa Clara County, California. Their main office is in north San Jose, and they recently opened a new satellite office in Gilroy. SVILC hosts the annual West Coast Disability Pride Parade and Festival every July on the Saturday nearest the anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The parade is a gathering of hundreds of people with disabilities and their allies from all over Northern California and beyond. SVILC is also home to CATS, the Countywide Advocacy Team of Santa Clara. CATS activists have been working tirelessly for increased access, especially in the areas of housing and transportation. Santa Clara County has a horrendous 1% rental vacancy rate, and rents are skyrocketing, making it extremely diificult for people with low incomes to find housing here.
More Feedback
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I had never heard of SVILC before told about it from my therapist. I have been very impressed with the center. The people are very inviting and I have attended a small group meeting weekly with about 5-12 people varying each week. Group therapy can be a wonderful thing, and I think our leader does a great job managing it. They have become some of my closest friends.
I have received assistance from silicon valley independent living center. They were wonderful to me
and I will support. them as much as I can. This organization do the right things, say the right things
and they get the job done without reservations.
They treated me with great respect and I appreciate them and they have my stamp of approval.
Thanks for your time.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Jennifer Pescitelli and her young son, Salvatore VI, of Prince's Bay love that their neighborhood is family oriented and full of other children.
"And Wolfe's Pond Park, of course," said Mrs. Pescitelli of one of her family's favorite places to spend time. "To see the walkway, to walk around, to exercise and the kids' playground, that's all really nice."
Mrs. Pescitelli commended the city for repairs it made to her favorite walkway and other areas of the park that were severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy last year.
"And there are good shopping centers," she added. "They really built up Page Avenue."
She also is appreciative of the larger shopping centers near her home in Target and the Home Depot that were built in the last few years along what was once a desolate road.

You got a great job but the money was miniscule. Three months later you took a job at double the salary. In six months you were out after a reorganization. You got six months severance and COBRA. Now you're left to dance those two jobs on your resume for the next ten years. Doesn't this make you a pariah to hirers?
Not so fast. Twenty years ago, it would have. In those bygone days all candidates had to profess no greater ambition than to be CEO of the company one day. Anyone under 40 who talked about someday being CEO today would be identified as a first generation immigrant or naive. "Moving up the ladder" has become as quaint a phrase as, "I'll call you." But how many short-term jobs are too many?
Until the Great Recession becomes a boom economy even perfectionists are apt to cut an attractive candidate some slack. We talked to a Fortune 500 head of talent who said he'd presented two candidates for six figure jobs who'd been fired from companies! "They were a perfect fix in skills and experience with jobs I needed to fill. Besides, we are most anxious to weed out employees who might stay too long."
Like obsolete electronic equipment there's little market for loyalty and less this year than last for longevity. What sells are near-perfect matches between job needs and skills and experience sauced with enthusiasm and energy. Nothing is less attractive than the candidate who apologizes for his job choices. If you didn't make reasonable choices for yourself why should we believe you'll make better choices for the organization?
It's all in the explanation of why you took/left a job. If what you said makes sense, has no whiff of hidden explanations, it works. Of course, there is the HR type or hirer who believes he needs "more information." Perhaps he or she was a social worker in a previous life. Explain why your choice made sense at the time. Anyone can second guess themselves pointless as that process is. Don't do it for anyone but your therapist.
Put your short-term jobs on your resume. Don't even consider leaving them off in the hope that long-term unemployment would look better. The odds are six months into a new job someone will arrive who knew you in a previous incarnation. If the company finds out you lied on your resume or written application you are toast. Why take the chance. Besides, do you want to work for a boss or organization that thinks quitting a job or two is a felony?

JEWELL - The South Hamilton baseball team made just three defensive errors last night, but they were mighty costly in a Heart of Iowa Conference loss to CMB at the Mike Penning Athletic Complex.
The Raiders (3-5, 3-5 HOIC) jumped on the extra outs and scored six unearned runs in a 9-3 victory over the Hawks (1-10, 0-7 HOIC), who lost for the ninth straight time.
"Those six unearned runs are the thing that killed us," South Hamilton head coach Bret Bell said. "Overall we played very well if you take out those three plays."
Freshman Nathan Sogard gave everything he had on the mound. He allowed 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings, but only three earned runs. He walked two and struck out three before handing the ball off to relievers Nathan McSparin and Dugan Swenson.
"Nathan Sogard threw the best game on the mound that we've had all year," Bell said. "He really stepped up and played to his full potential."
Hunter Griffin drove in all three South Hamilton runs - one in the first inning and two in the third. He had a single, as did Trey Woodall, JD Rader and Landon Quam. Colton Griffin went 2-for-4.

On Thursday, the Arkansas Board of Education announced 26 as academically distressed in Little Rock, and surrounding districts.
This title was given after more than half of their students performed poorly on the state's Benchmark exams.
Because of this, parents who have students that attend those failing schools will have the option to send their students somewhere else.
"We have been working on it hard but we still have a long way to go. We realize that and we are going to buckle up our boots and go to work," says Dennis Glasgow with the LRSD.
The LRSD says over the past few weeks it has been having training sessions with teachers and staff as a part of its Priority Improvement Plan.
This is required under the Academic Distress Rule.

You should never guy a self-supporting tower UNLESS the mfg says its OK. I've seen guyed crank-up towers (Triex made a TON for the TV market). These towers have mechanical stops that goes in between the sections. They hold against the downward force of the guy system. But, a guyed crank-up tower is NOT a self supported tower. The guyed crank-up was DESIGNED to be guyed. The self support was designed to be SELF SUPPORTING. While the cable and pulley system has reserve designed into them. Do they have enough reserve for the expected forces AND the downward force of the guys system? Only the engineers know for sure. If you want a guyed tower, buy a guyed tower. If you want a self supporter, buy a self supporter. If you have NO IDEA what you are doing, don't do it! :-) Dino - K6RIX firstname.lastname@example.com _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

A two-car crash blocked traffic heading east on Northeast Cornell Road Monday morning, according to the Hillsboro Police Department.
The T-bone crash occurred about 9:15 a.m. at the intersection of Cornell Road and Elam Young Parkway, said Lt. Mike Rouches, a Hillsboro police spokesman. One car reportedly turned left in front of the other.
One person is being taken to the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening, Rouches said. Another person was treated at the scene.
Eastbound traffic on Cornell Road was diverted at Northeast 48th Avenue, he said. The road is expected to fully open soon.
