Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
Dynamic cornering light
Above a speed of approx. 8 km/h (5 mph), the low beam light is swiveled in the direction of the curve to illuminate the road more clearly, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the extent to which the steering wheel is turned.
In the event of a fault in the dynamic cornering light, the PDLS warning light in the instrument panel starts flashing.
Motorway function in daylight
The driving light is switched on automatically at vehicle speeds of more than approx. 90 mph (140 km/h) in daylight conditions and when daytime driving lights are deactivated.
If you are traveling at a speed of less than approx. 40 mph (65 km/h), the driving light is switched off after a delay of approx. 4 minutes, if the external lighting conditions permit.
Motorway function in darkness
The distribution characteristics of the driving light change when driving in darkness at vehicle speeds above approx. 80 mph (130 km/h).
The light beam becomes longer and the field of vision increases.
Fog lights
The distribution characteristics of the driving light change when the rear fog light is switched on at vehicle speeds below approx. 43 mph (70 km/h).
The light beam becomes wider and reduces glare.
Instrument Lighting
The lighting is automatically adjusted to the ambient brightness via light sensors.
In addition, when the vehicle lighting is switched on, the instrument and switch brightness can be adjusted manually.
Adjusting the brightness while driving
Adjusting the brightness while driving may cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
Turn Signal/High Beam/Headlight Flasher Stalk/Parking Light Switch
Turn signal, low beam and high beam are ready for operation when the ignition is on.
1 – Turn signal light, left
2 – Turn signal light, right
Push the stalk to the upper or lower pressure point – turn signal lights flash three times.
3 – High beam
4 – Headlight flasher (also with the ignition switched off)
Stalk in center position – low beam
When the high beam is switched on or the headlight flasher is operated, the blue indicator light on the speedometer lights up.

The NL loses another All-Star game / Mannywood is back
I am so sick of seeing the National League lose year after year to the American League! I am sick of it! Also that it was the National League West pitchers that gave up all the runs. Ugh.
C'mon Bud Selig! get rid of that stupid rule that the game determine homefield advantage! Ever since you made that rule, you put a curse to the N.L.!
OK, serenity now. We won't need the stinking homefield advantage. Time to move to the second half. I am so ready to get back to the stadium.
For those Manny lovers and haters, checkout what is happening at Dodger Stadium:.
Yep, Mannywood is back. Thursday will be Manny's first game back at Dodger Stadium.

Wow, the NL are really starting to stink up this whole All Star Game mess. Maybe next year. Did you see Torre's face when Mo came to pitch the 9th? He knew!
By popejonash on July 14, 2009 11:53 PM
Ash, Oh yeah, Torre knew, we all knew. We messed up, Manuel messed up. You know is the manager's fault when a team loose.
Emma…You guys came thiiiiis close, then Howard was out. The Mo was pitching and well…that's an automatic win pretty much. Torre knew. You could see it.
I felt better seeing Evan laughing and having fun during the game. He's still planning on playing on Friday, so hopefully he'll be back to 100%.
Happy trip planning!

Yep, it was pretty much over. Mo should be called "Game Over" like Gagne used to be called. Glad that you feel better about Evan. I feel better about Brox. He was smiling in a group pic with O Dog, and Billz. A road trip will make me feel better.
I never understood the "Mannywood" thing. Is it a section of seats with special prices? Did the fans set it up? Is it just a promotion by the Dodgers to push their recent acquisition?
Hard to believe that the NL hasn't won in 14 years. There aren't many things you can say that about. And how is the AL that dominent!?
I am a happy guy, though. CC is MVP! That is sweet!
Road trips have that effect!🙂 Glad to hear Brox was smiling…it does make you feel better.
Yes, it is the seats in the field level, the left side. You purchase tickets in that side and you get a t-shirt with it that says "Mannywood.".
I can't beleive it either that it has been 14 years.
LOL . Brox does not smile too often. He really is a quiet person. Well, before a road trip, we have a long homestand!
Ginny & Rays,
Good luck to your the Rays! and congratulations to th AL. Let's see what the second half has in store.
Emma – even though it is my American League that keeps winning – I think it should be the team with the best record that has the home field advantage in the World Series.
Ooooooo, a t-shirt for sitting in ManRam's area? That's kind of neat.
I think the Rays need to make "Crawford's Corner" in left field–especially after his MVP win. T-shirts for all those who sit there. I would definitely trade my seats for some left field seats. Very neato.
You and I and many many fans are in agreement that the team with the best record should have home field advantage. If only Bud Selig would also agree..
You should suggested to the team and you should get credit and a t-shirt!
I don't know how I ended up with two thread with the same title. It is getting me confused! ok, I'll see how I can remove one or not publish.
That should get the Dodgers Fans going! We're off until Friday too. Wonder if the Dodgers game in on TV? The way they're going the Dodgers will be in the Series for sure.

How about a Rays/Dodgers final? Would that do?🙂
By crazy19canuck on July 15, 2009 10:02 AM
We play Houston Thursday so I don't know if is on TV. I know Saturday is the Fox game here. Ray/Dodgers final would be cool. My brother Vic would be so happy as those are his two teams. When I was in Vero Beach two years ago, I brought him back a Ray's hat. You if that happens, I am going on the road to see them there.
From msrussyethier
It has been a long week without a Dodger game. Thought watching partial of the All-Games will be satisfying….but it wasn't….needed more BLUE.
That rule makes the All-Star game more interesting. But yeah the team with the best overall record should get home field advantage.
By msrussyethier on July 15, 2009 3:23 PM
Mee too! I need my fix of BLUE! But tomorrow we will be able to hear "Is time for Dodger Baseball!"
Sorry but I have to say I'm happy the AL won. Now, I know you aren't, but the Tribe is AL so I gotta say I'm glad. I actually feel bad for the NL, though. Good Luck next year against us.🙂
By indiansluv on July 15, 2009 3:27 PM
I can understand. Now is that good luck in the WS? Is so that is the spirit! I hope next Spring to check out your ballpark in AZ I have a firned that is going to the Cleveland/Seattle game Fri for Beach weekend.
I think we're cursed too. It shouldn't count for anything but swagger and bragging rights.
That's really cool.🙂 Aww, thank you. Yeah, I really want to visit Dodger Stadium sometime. http://tribechick.mlblogs.com/
"Now is that good luck in the WS"
No. Since the home field advantage rule came about by Selig, 3 world series were won by AL teams and 3 by NL teams. As for the "jinx" there is no jinx. The NL lost 6 straight All Star games before Selig decided on the home field advantage. So it has nothing to do with that. I was at yesterday's game in St. Louis and I can't say I am happier to be home. Thunderstorms and humidity on and off, I know the heat could have been worse but I hate that kind of weather. It will be great to have perfect weather out here when it's in Anaheim.
Emma – Thanks now you have put "road trip" into my mind. All I can think about is travelling!
Hey Jeff.
Maybe we should do a petition for Bud.
If you ever come to Dodger Stadium, let me know! I love showing our stadium.
Lucky you that got to go. I am working on a friend to help me tickets next year. Even though I was born in Honduras, I hate the humidity.
If you ever make it here, let me know. I love to show people Dodger Stadium. I'll give you and your family a tour.
I updated the Fanfest thread with a picture of the Baby Ruth booth at San Francisco back in 2007
Having never been to the southwest ever…is it possible to make a trip from LA to Phoenix over a few days? I'd love to drive it, just to see the scenery!
Absolutely! but the trip from LA to Phoenix gets a little boring of just desert and watch out for those cameras on the freeway in AZ. Is about a 4 1/2 to 5 hour drive.
Hey Ginny,
Congratulations on being mentioned on the main blog!
Thanks! and Thanks! LOL!🙂
Emma – Don't know if I should post my comment here or on the All start thread, but oh well. Love the pic!! I really wish I could get to a fanfest one day. I'll keep dreaming!
You are hilarious! I was reading your responses
to comments & when I came across the beware of
the cameras I started to chuckle! I love reading your
blog Emma! Keep up the good work!
Don't dream it! Live it! You deserve it!
Hey Luvthedodgers23!
Guess what!? I was cleaning up my text messages and I ran into one I have not read! Wendell texted back in July 1st! He said he heard me on Dodger Talk! He, his wife and his kids are so nice.
Emma, great post 24 comments?! Dang, I am 25 i guess haha🙂 keep up the good work, and I am so happy that MANNYWOOD is back. Hopefully the fans will keep a comin'🙂 please check me out
Hey Cal,
I am so glad the boys are back in town! can't wait to be at the stadium tonight so I am leaving work a little early to go to BP. Oh, and I know the fans will show. We need our fix of Dodger baseball. Manny is extra topping🙂 Hopefully he will help get us that illusive ring.
Emma, I'd love to get to Fanfest…can you imagine how giddy I would be actually being at the Trop? That could be scary! You guys think I'm crazy now….🙂
LOL, When you go we want pictures! How far are you from the Trop?
About 1400 miles. But to see my guys it would be worth every minute of that drive!
Ouch! 1400 miles! Is like a day of driving. how much are airfares?
Thanks for commenting Emma, Good luck with Mannywood and good luck at the game🙂
I feel terrible about the All-Star game. Padres pitchers have lost three out of the last four All-Star games. Not good!! I'm pretty sick of the NL losing all the time too!
Fly? Are you crazy?! Getting me on a plane would take a lot of convincing and bribery. I'd rather drive. It's about a 1.5 day drive, probably more like 2 if I took my time.
I feel worst that it was all NL West that gave the rusn. Giant Lincecum, Dodger Billingsley and Padres Bell. We are better than that but the guys did not have it that day.
Ginny, Ginny,..
Yeah, I am crazy🙂 Are you afraid of flying? I am sure you heard this a lot but you are safer on a plane than a car. There is so much more to see if you fly. As we are close to landing or after the plane takes off, I like to look around and spot all the baseball diamonds. I used to get a little nervous flying but now I like it.
Ya, I hate flying. It's my nerves that are shot even before the plane takes off. The longer the flight the worse it is. I flew to D.C. in '99…it was an hour flight. That was the last time I ever stepped foot on a plane. You're right it would be faster, but I'd need a whole lot of convincing.
Wow, Ginny, and I thought you were a REAL fan. You are going t let a little thing like a plane scare you away from seeing your guys in person? Come on!
Driving that drive is not fun. Lots of cars on the road, mountains, majesties. All that stuff make for a long drive.
I'd like to fly out to LA and see a Dodger game. Sounds like fun. I would love to see how the stadium is nestled in the ravine. Very neat (Um, it IS in a ravine, right? )
Rays – Come on, mountains makes for a fun drive. It can't be any worse than driving though the passes in Switzerland.
Emma – How many cameras do they have? Didn't you get 5 tickets or something like that this spring? Maybe I will fly after all!
Ginny & Rayfan,
If you ever make it here to the Ravine (Yes, Rays, it is a ravine), the tour is on me and I'll give you a tour of the outside of the the stadium.
You got to overcome your fears. The co-worker that I fly with to N.H. is afraid of flying but he knows he has to do it. He works on his crossword puzzles to keep him occupied. I can see him tensing when we take off but once we are on the air he seems fine. For him is the anxiety before taking off and yes the wait.
I suppose you will have to live with the good and bad about Manny. When Cleveland had him, he didn't really get into "manny being manny" much yet. I swear he's one of the most talented hitters out there, but he just isn't made to be put in front of thousands of fans and marketed as the next Mantle. Well, at least Joe knows how to handle him.
The good we've seen. the bad was the suspension which he paid for being out of the ball game for those 50 games. As you know Manny loves to hit, so I am sure it was killing him not playing. So aside from that, we have not seen a "manny being manny". I've seen him around fans and he seems like he enjoys it. More so if you talk to him in Spanish. I don't agree with him marketed as a franchise player. I like the whole team and I don't believe he should have a second bobblehead. Many Dodger fans at ITD (InsidetheDodgers) blog feel the same way. We think that Ethier should have had the next boblehead. Right now he is in a slump.
thanks for stopping by

Nice job.
Hey guys -
Back in Atlanta from Troutfest. The festival was bigger this year and not marred by rain. I want to thank those of you who made it to my talk. I think Troutfest's attendance was actually up. There were several newspaper photographers running around so I kept my camera in the car.
I also want to mention the CFR booth, specifically the section run by Abe Mathews, who I thought had a really cool idea: he set up a side-booth and asked people walking by to sit down and tie a pheasant tail for CFR. He probably had three dozen by the time I got there and added a couple misshapen ones. I just thought that was really cool and fun - almost all of us can throw a fly together for a good cause and they (Abe, really) provided the materials.
I also thought it was cool getting to meet Jim Casada - I have enjoyed his posts here and I admire his writing work. More manufacturers were present, including Simms (who ought to have been there last year). The only one I didn't see was Scott, but I know they are having their national sales meeting out in Colorado this weekend and I think it's all hands on deck out there for them.
If you're considering going out tomorrow, be sure to drop by the CFR tying desk - I told Abe he needed a more obvious sign, because when I walked by I thought it was another demonstration tying desk.
Thanks, Zach
Zach, thanks for the session. I really wanted to see it. The wife and I had our newborn and we had hung around to watch it, but finally just had to get her back to the cabin. Hopefully you'll do it again next year and I'll be able to attend.
Went back to Troutfest today, Lefty Kreh taught me more about fly casting in 90 minutes than I've ever learned from books or videos. I agree with Zach, it's a great festival and I've really enjoyed watching it grow over the years. I've been to all of them and it's just a lot of fun. Thanks to Byron and all the folks for putting on a great exposition.
Nice Job
Totally agree. Nice job by the Troutfest committee!
David Perry
Southeastern Fly
Zach--Thanks for the kind words, and your graciousness gives me the perfect opening to thank all the folks involved in Troutfest, not to mention each of you from this forum who stopped by my booth to chat. I was especially appreciative of the fact that many of you specifically took the time to express gratitude for my feeble attempts at sharing thoughts and experiences on this forum. That's my intent, and I might add that this is the only forum in which I participate (at least in terms of commenting) on a frequent basis. The folks at LRO have been so good to me in terms of promoting my book, helping me with it in advance, and more, when Byron asked me to come to Troutfest it would have been rank ingratitude to naysay him.
I do need to share what was probably the biggest on many highlights of the weekend for me. That was having the opportunity to sit and talk, at some length, with three guys from the Tennessee side whose acquaintance with Park streams compares with mine on the N. C. side. Hugh Hartsell, Walter Babb, and Jack Gregory are all absolute flowing founts of wisdom, and an exchange of concepts, getting their perspective on things of interest to me, talk about what we have seen change, and much more was really stimulating. So much so, in fact, that I suggested to Byron we have a "Park veterans" seminar next year where several of us share our thoughts and perspectives on Park fishing over the years. I can't take credit for the idea, because Hugh Hartsell planted the seed several months back when he made a post to the effect that forum readers, whether they realized it or not, were reading an exchange which was living history. That's what planted the seed of the idea, and Byron jumped on it when we exchanged some thoughts on where the LR chapter of TU might go with next year's event.
At any rate, if you want to hear a bunch of grey hackles (we'll probably count 200 years of Park fishing between us, and collectively we had exposure, as younger men, to a passel of early icons of fly casting in these storied waters) reminisce and ruminate, put it on your calendar for next year. Truth be told, if such a seminar doesn't draw a soul, I'll be fascinated to be a part of it simply to listen to others call back yesteryear.
Again, to all concerned, workers, planners, vendors, and attendees, it was a pleasure.
Jim Casada
P. S. As one last indication of the event's success, I'm in the process of acquiring a new 10-foot fly rod from TRO. I'm a great fan of long rods in mountain streams, and they've got a 5-weight I just have to have, never mind the fact that my long-suffering spouse (whom many of you met) pointed out that I must already have at least 75 and more likely a 100 fly rods.
I gained some very good informaiton form your presentation, and I could tell that you had put some work into it. It is too bad more people didn't get a chance to check it out. I have since used some of the tricks, especially the photo shop ones on some of my most recent photos and all I can say is wow! Almost every question I had made me have 3 more, hope I didn't hold you up:smile:
Thanks again,
Steve Yates
Thanks Steve. I was kind of disappointed in the turnout for the talk, I admit. But the good news is, I built the presentation so I can use it again. Photography is a popular topic with just about any fly club - I've been called in to speak to groups of up to 500 (believe it or not). I'll get to use it again and more people will eventually see it.
My one comment or suggestion regarding that would be that Troutfest could use an MC next year. The local club does a really great job but when events get to a certain size sometimes you need to rope in someone who does this kind of thing for a living. For example, the auctioneer at the banquet last year (and I'm sure this year too) did a great job. I think Troutfest could really benefit from some big-voiced radio type "directing traffic" every half hour or so. I just don't think people realize what all is going on and where, so they miss stuff they meant to go to. Anyway, several people have told me that since my talk - they wanted to go but missed it because they lost track of when and where, etc.
Thanks again for the note.
Hi Gang,
Zach, I'm sorry I missed your presentation. Jim and Steve I hate that I missed yours too. I spent most of the weekend at our store. And Zach, you hit the nail right square on the head. We need an MC. Probably our most mentioned failure is not announcing what was going on. That won't happen next year.
Most of us have decided the music was a distraction for people trying to tie and speak and for exhibitors trying to talk to their customers. The music was great I'm sure but not what we need at Troutfest. Lefty told me Sunday night to "get rid of that music". Thanks to all of you for being here and volunteering your time for a good cause. Next year will be different in that we are making a list of changes and discussing all of them already. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. I appreciate your suggestions. We'll keep getting better.

Middlesex mental health site could open soon
MONTPELIER State mental health employees could begin working at a new residential treatment facility next week with the first patients arriving by the end of the month, about four months later than first expected, officials said Tuesday.
The seven-bed Middlesex Secure Residential Program is part of interim changes developed by the Department of Mental Health after flooding from Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 forced the state hospital in Waterbury to be abandoned and its patients placed elsewhere across the state.
The new building is considered temporary. After three years, department officials will evaluate its effectiveness and determine whether to close it or make other arrangements.
Work on the building, on what was a softball field next to the state police barracks just off Interstate 89, began in late November. It was to open in January for people who no longer require acute care but still need treatment within a secure setting for an extended period.
Many issues contributed to delays, and costs increased from about $1 million to about $1.5 million.
Dave Burley, facilities and operations regional director for the Department of Buildings and General Services, said the contractor felt the residence could be built with modular units in six to eight weeks. The arrangement would allow the site to open in January, but the plans werent fully developed.
Mental Health Commissioner Mary Moulton said work orders also had to be redone.
In this case, we have a facility that had to have some additional security measures and some safety measures that didnt come with the modular units, she said.
As another example, plans initially called for the installation of electric heat, which is faster and less expensive to install but more expensive to use. Instead, the building has a gas heating system, which in the long run will save the state money, said Buildings and General Services Commissioner Michael Obuchowski.
Another needed step was covering so-called ligature points that patients can use to harm themselves.
If the building passes safety tests May 14, staff can begin working the next day, the facility can be licensed, and patients can arrive about two weeks later.
President and CEO Rick Cochran of MMIC, a St. Johnsbury company that built the residence, said that while job-change orders delayed the opening and increased the cost, his company still saved the state money overall and completed the facility quickly given the circumstances.
Had this been designed out and set of plans and specs issued, everything wed done would have been included, Cochran said. The reality is we did some things on the front end that in my mind saved the state some money.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

- Title
- Stakeholders' perspectives of the skills and attributes for accounting graduates
- Author(s)
- Hancock, Phil; Howieson, Bryan; Kavanagh, Marie; Kent, Jenny; Tempone, Irene
- Abstract
- This study examines how a group of Australian stakeholders define technical and nontechnical skills, identifies those skills that are demanded of graduates at various stages of their career, and assesses the level of stakeholder satisfaction with the skills level of accounting graduates. Further the paper attempts to highlight the views of stakeholders about whose responsibility it is to develop the required set of technical and non technical skills required by accounting graduates as they enter the workforce. Findings indicate that employers are seeking graduates who possess a diverse range of non-technical skills including communication and presentation, self-management, teamwork, initiative and enterprise, problem solving, technological competence and planning and organising skills. Employers also use non-technical skills as discriminators when evaluating graduates. In terms of technical skills basic practical accounting skills, IT skills and industry specific awareness are important. In general employers were not satisfied with the level of communication and problem solving skills and seemed generally to have low expectations in the area of technical skills accepting that they undertake much of the technical training themselves. The discussion about who role it was to develop both technical and non technical skills was most clearly stated as that of the universities. The findings have implications for those involved in the training of accountants and indeed for those seeking to develop skills in order to enter the profession.

I had trouble breastfeeding my 1st baby. I had pre-eclampsia and had to be induced at 37 weeks. I had 48 hours of labor which ended in an emergency C-Section. I feel in my heart that if I didn't have to get induced, my baby would have been late, maybe 40 or 41 weeks until he made his appearance naturally.
Anyway, I really tried to breastfeed. I had help from the RNs and lactation consultants at the UWMC in Seattle, and even a visiting nurse/LC came to my home once I was out. I just didn't make any milk. I had no engorgement, no pain, no drying up, nothing.. my milk NEVER came in!
I tried to bf my son for days and he maybe got some colostrum, but that was it. We then supplemented and used formula and a nipple shield. But he still lost a lot of weight and became jaundiced. I even tried pumping manually every 2 hours for days.. still no milk, I went out and bought a very expensive, high-tech electric pump, it didn't help me either. Finally after weeks of this, and still no milk, and a sickly infant, my pediatrician said I needed to stop trying to breastfeed and start bottle feeding ASAP.
I was extremely disappointed that I couldn't breastfeed and that my milk never came in. Maybe this was because I was on blood pressure meds (atenolol)? Maybe this was because my baby was NOT ready to come out and he was forced out medically... Maybe it was because I had a C-section? I don't know, I have no breast issues and all my relatives have been able to breast feed just fine. I have no medical problems or diseases, I'm very healthy!
Now, I'm pregnant again with baby #2. My son is 16 months old and I am due on December 7, 2007. My OB says if I stay on medication, I may not get pre-eclampsia and if this pregnancy stays low-risk, he supports me trying for a VBAC. I want to be as natural with this pregnancy and birth as possible. I want to attempt to breastfeed this baby but I am nervous I won't make milk again and will be disappointed and emotionally distraught over not being able to breastfeed again.
What are the chances that, given my history, I will be able to make milk and successfully breastfeed baby #2 this December? Is there anything I can do now to encourage milk production? Are there certain tests or medical issues I should ask my OB about? Do you know of any women with a similar story who was able to successfully bf during subsequent pregnancies?

- We present two millisecond pulsar discoveries from the PALFA survey of the Galactic plane with the Arecibo telescope. PSR J1955+2527 is an isolated pulsar with a period of 4.87 ms, and PSR J1949+3106 has a period of 13.14 ms and is in a 1.9 day binary system with a massive companion. Their timing solutions, based on 4 years of timing measurements with the Arecibo, Green Bank, Nançay, and Jodrell Bank telescopes, allow precise determination of spin and astrometric parameters, including precise determinations of their proper motions. For PSR J1949+3106, we can clearly detect the Shapiro delay. From this we measure the pulsar mass to be 1.47+0.43 – 0.31 M ☉, the companion mass to be 0.85+0.14 – 0.11 M ☉, and the orbital inclination to be i = 79.9–1.9 + 1.6 deg, where uncertainties correspond to ±1σ confidence levels. With continued timing, we expect to also be able to detect the advance of periastron for the J1949+3106 system. This effect, combined with the Shapiro delay, will eventually provide very precise mass measurements for this system and a test of general relativity.

i got a little more comfortable…
…with the Pacific Ocean on Thursday. (I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to post about it. Silly me.)
The drive from NSI down La Jolla Shores Dr. was a beautiful, winding journey, with a view of the ocean that I failed to capture on film but that is unlikely to leave my memory soon. Parking my (the Smith's) Mustang under a palm tree and walking to a beach littered with surf boards and bonfires/cookouts embodied my most California-y experience here to date. Besides that traffic the other evening.
It was great to observe the various amalgamations of families and friends: those high school kids who I regrettably used to be (except they are much better off because their hangout is the beach), new parents introducing their child to the sea, that father who plays sports with the kids (in this case a lovely, portly, young dad who managed to turn soccer into a chase game, resulting in many a squeal from his daughters and nieces), and my favorite: countless duos of father-son surfers.
All that camaraderie warmed my heart but also made me feel pretty lonely, to be honest. I've been trekking to all these really great places that are relaxing when alone but they merit the company of someone close to you. On a scale of one to lonely, I was almost desperate enough to walk over to one of the cookouts and introduce my hungry self with the line, "Hi, I'm Genna. I'm new here. From Jersey. Not as bad as it seems. Anything you suggest I do in SD besides eat this hot dog and ear of corn?"
I withheld my urge and instead took to the sea again, this time motivated to take a memento or two. When I visited Torrey Pines Glider Port, I decided that I was going to collect something from each new place I visited this summer. Unfortunately for my luggage, this decision has amounted to a growing collection of (really sweet, neverbeforeseen) rocks. And one royal blue zipper pull that I almost threw back in the ocean until I realized that a seagull was probably going to eat it if I didn't take it. And I kind of wanted it. And now I have it.
Oh, one more thing: after the beach, I finally went to an In-N-Out Burger! It didn't quite live up to its name due to the length of the drive-thru line, but it surely lived up to its reputation. I got a Double-Double, Animal Style (on the secret menu), with a side of fries (ketchup too!) and chocolate shake. In retrospect, I really did not need that shake and I certainly did not need the ketchup for the fries. I said "Sure" when the cashier offered it to me because I am usually a fan of the condiment and always a fan of something to dip my fries in, but after employing the ketchup for its intended purpose, I realized that these fries were just too good to be tainted with Heinz. Away with the ketchup packets!
Excuse me while I ingest this bucket full of health.
One last thing: I'm going to include a song in this post that makes me feel better whenever I hear it, off an album that makes me feel better whenever I hear it. It is one of the only CDs from my adolescent period that I insist on keeping. I have kept a bunch of the music, but in terms of owning the physical compact disc, Bleed American is the only one that has persisted. Ladies and gentlemen, Jimmy Eat World's "Sweetness."

October 4, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Whereas football is king of the fall in terms of headlines, crowds, chatter and popularity, fútbol, aka soccer, rules in terms of sheer volume of games played as both boys and girls teams have 16-game schedules, which can be extended for those teams that qualify for the postseason. But make no mistake, it's quality, not quantity, which makes the world's most popular sport equally riveting on the local scene.
For the Liberty boys team, beginning this week with a sterling 8-0 (2-0 OCIAA) record, it's not just about returning to post season play. They want to win it all. Losing to O'Neill 3-0 in the first round of the 2011 Class B sectionals, a game that completed the Raiders' three-game sweep of the Indians, has caused this year's squad to marshal vigor and zeal. The Indians sent a message to the Raiders on September 10 with a 7-3 home win in which freshman striker Gustavo Romero had the hat trick. Romero currently leads the Indians with 14 goals and three assists, followed closely by senior midfielder Pedro Garcia with nine goals and 13 assists. Garcia also had the hat trick versus O'Neill. They are the current Section 9 scoring leaders with 31 points apiece. Sophomore Brendan Siegel has five goals and five assists to date for 15 points. Liberty bested Tuxedo 3-2 in overtime on September 26.
At the start of the week, Liberty was tied for the Division IV lead with Burke as both were 2-0 in league play. At present, the Indians are ranked 11th among the state's Class B teams. But there is no resting on the laurels of the first half of the season. Liberty lost to O'Neill 1-0 on October 1. They are home (October 3) against defending Section 9 Class B champions Burke. Burke beat Sullivan West 6-1 on October 1. Liberty travels to Burke exactly two weeks later for the rematch with the Eagles. Few teams have the balance that Liberty brings to the pitch. Of the squad's 20 players, 17 have scored and that includes starting keeper Julian Spina, who has sent two into the net this season. Offseason play by some of the team with the Liberty United Soccer Club has prevented a drop off in skills and conditioning.
In Class C boys soccer action this past week, Fallsburg 4-5 (2-3 OCIAA) defeated Tri-Valley 0-8 (0-5 OCIAA) 2-0 under the lights in Grahamsville. The Comets got goals from Leo Espinoza and Felix Martinez.
In girls soccer, Tri-Valley 2-3-3 (1-2-1 OCIAA) got a goal in the 66th minute from senior Mareena DiMilia in the Lady Bears' night home outing versus Fallsburg. T-V's first league win of the season followed a 9-0 blanking at the hands of Division V leader S.S. Seward. Speaking of Seward, senior Gladys Loyas scored five goals against Burke during the Lady Spartans' Homecoming, thereby surpassing 2008 grad Jillian Collova, who was Seward's second all-time goal scorer. Loyas has 21 goals this season and 120 to date. Seward's all-time leading scorer Theresa Space had 157 goals in her career. This was the second time in a week that Loyas scored five, after tallying a quintet against Division VI leading Livingston Manor.
Sullivan West surpassed its win total from 2011 with a 3-0 win over Eldred and an 11-0 blanking of Family School before losing 3-0 to Monticello 6-4 (1-2 OCIAA). The Lady Bulldogs are in third place in Division IV with a record of 6-5 (1-2 OCIAA). Cassidy Sauer has nine goals to date and is the team's leading point gatherer. She is 11th in Section 9 with 18 points. Monticello's Annie Purcell is seventh in the section with nine goals and six assists for 24 points. Purcell did not score against Sullivan West. Jordan Fredell had two goals and Brianna Bennett had one.
In football, Sullivan West 4-1 (1-0 Class C) lost its first game of the season, falling to Class B New Paltz 33-14. Sawyer Erlwein returned a kickoff 60 yards for a TD. Tri-Valley 3-2 (1-1 Class C) beat Fallsburg 1-4 (0-2 Class C) 49-6 in a league tilt. Sullivan West hosts Tri-Valley in a critical game on October 5 with playoff contention very much on the line for both squads. Monticello 1-4 (1-3 Class A) was bested by Wallkill 4-1 (3-O Class A).

text: depending on the source, there are different guidelines. talk about confusing. i was looking at one source that said cereals, then meat (of all things!), veggies, then fruit. not sure i agree with that. when my oldest were babies, now 11 and 12, the order was cereals, fruits, veggies, then meat/dairy. i think that 9-10 months might be ok for introducing meat, but i am leery of chicken sticks, as in chicken fingers? what else is in them besides chicken? i would be cautious of giving lo's commercial type foods that contain at lot of additives/filler ingredients. i am guessing that there is some sort of breading; what it is made from? if you are concerned about allergies, make sure what ever is in, your lo has already had, as she has not had chicken yet. when adding new foods, make sure you are only adding one new thing at a time, check igredients, so you know what causes probs if they are any. i would suggest to start off with plain meat, ground/pureed with broth, or mixed with veggies. the only thing about commercial products, you really don't know how much meat, therefore protein your lo is actually getting. it's better to either prep it yourself, or buy jarred meat with simple things added like broth, then mixing it yourself. why not check with dieticians? here in canada they are free sources to go to get info. likely what ever a formula/food company is telling you, the bottom line is to push product, not good nutrion.

Assoc. Press Paints Murders in Benghazi as Merely a 'PR Disaster'
In an outrageous attempt to defuse for President Obama the murderous disaster that is his security failures in Benghazi on September 11, the Associated Press deemed the whole debacle merely a "PR disaster" and speculated it could all just be forgotten if Susan Rice were to be successfully nominated as our next Secretary of State.
The White House could finally have its chance to close the books on its Benghazi public relations disaster, as key Republicans signal they might not stand in the way of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to become the next secretary of state.
With such dismissive rhetoric, the AP seems to discount the death of Chris Stevens, our U.S. Ambassador to Libya, and several of his security staff all of whom were murdered by radical Islamists. Still, even the logic here makes no sense.
Is the AP saying that the ambassador's brutal murder can just be forgotten if Susan Rice becomes Sec. of State? How does that even make sense? This claim makes as much sense as saying that Watergate should have been forgotten because Richard Nixon was successfully re-elected after perpetrating the break-in.
The AP next goes on to swallow whole the shaky explanation of why Susan Rice lied about what happened at Benghazi.
But Rice's reputation took a serious hit this fall when she relied on unclassified talking points provided by the intelligence community that portrayed the attack in Benghazi, Libya, as a spontaneous assault by a mob angered by an anti-Muslim video posted on YouTube.
Notice how AP simply accepts and reports as fact the administration's claim that Rice was just beset with faulty intelligence? As if there is no question at all about the claim? But in truth we have no real proof that Rice was just misled by faulty intelligence reports. None at all.
Of course, after meeting with Rice, Republicans still had criticism for her actions in the aftermath of the attacks on our personnel in Libya.
But I am sure the AP will find a way to dismiss all that, too.

November 26, 2013 —
Mary Ann Teeter says the Hawley Public Library serves almost a quarter of Pike's population but receives only about $2,000 in Pike aid, compared to some $200,000 funding for the Pike County Public Library (PCLP).
Seeking additional funding in the new county budget, Teeter last Wednesday presented letters from the supervisors of Blooming Grove, Lackawaxen and Palmyra (Pike) townships supporting Pike's funding of the Hawley library.
She said that with insufficient Wayne County and state funding, the library faces service and personnel cuts. Teeter said Hawley serves 23% of Pike County's population in the western townships that are no longer served by the PCLP, but receives only about 1% of the county funding awarded the Milford-based PCLP.
PCLP officials say all Pennsylvania libraries are facing budget cuts and any new Pike funding outside the county will proportionally reduce PCLP's state funding and that the majority of Pike taxpayers who don't use the Hawley library should not be forced to fund it.
The commissioners' panel has not commented on any of the three requests they have heard from the Hawley and Newfoundland libraries this summer and fall, but library funding was said to be among the unfinished questions in the 2014 Pike plan, which is to be unveiled in the first week of December.
Pike unveils bicentennial plans
On a less controversial note, the commissioners announced a fundraising effort and the basics of a 200th birthday celebration schedule for Pike County in 2014.
Pike County Historical Society Museum Director Lori Strelecki said she has been traveling to the county's 13 townships and boroughs beginning the coordination of birthday events.
Of those currently scheduled, the first comes up with the January 31 celebration of Zane Grey's birthday. One of the world's most read novelists, Grey spent many years at a Delaware River home in Lackawaxen, which is now a museum managed by the National Park Service. "Zane Grey Day" in 2014 will be celebrated with a program at The Columns Museum in Milford, complete with a portrayal of the author.
The Columns' "Hiawatha" stagecoach will also be appearing in parades and at birthday celebrations throughout the year, she said.
Grey's extensive reputation as an angler will also be noted with a season-long trout fishing contest, which will run through a July 12 celebration in Lackawaxen. Contestants are being asked to submit photos of their catch, along with a ruler, for judging.
On March 25, the day of Pike County's birth will be celebrated with a banquet, which Strelecki said now is tentatively planned at Woodloch Pines.
In addition Pike elementary school students will be competing in bicentennial- related drawing contests and a 200-word essay contest.
The commissioners also introduced bicentennial commemorative items including a collectable coin and calendar, proceeds from which will help fund 2014 birthday events.
The large coin features the state seal on one side and the county courthouse on the reverse.
The 2014 calendar has 13 months, (including January of 2015) each with a photo selected by one of Pike's 13 municipalities. The coin and the calendar sell for $5 each and are available at the commissioners' office.
Commissioners' Chair Rich Caridi, who enjoys poking fun at Commissioner Karl Wagner's seniority, said Wagner has offered to sign the calendars, "since he's been here for the last 200 years."

Round Two: Fisker Karma Goes Up in Flames in California
Tiffany Kaiser
August 13, 2012 3:49 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Fisker is currently investigating the root cause
Yet another Fisker Karma
has gone up in smoke
, making this the second incident in just a four-month period.
A Fisker Karma driver from Woodside, California parked his hybrid at the grocery store last week, and after grabbing the items he needed, returned to the parking lot to find that his vehicle was on fire.
He called the manufacturer immediately, who then told him to call 911. The Woodside Fire Department arrived to put out the fire, saying there was considerable damage to the front left area of the car.
Fisker Automotive's Karma
is a plug-in hybrid luxury sports sedan that goes for about $102,000 and up.
This fire is the second occurrence this year. Back in May 2012, a Karma plug-in was held responsible for a house fire in Houston, Texas. Before that, Fisker and A123 Systems, which is the battery maker for Fisker's Karma,
recalled over 200 batteries for the Karma
. No fires had occurred at that point yet, but A123 Systems said that a poorly positioned hose clamp could potentially be the cause of such issues.
But the battery may not be the cause of the fire in this particular case (or in the Houston incident). According to Jon Bereisa, CEO of Auto Lectrification, who previously a chief engineer of General Motors' EV1 and a systems architect for the Chevrolet Volt, the problem with the Karma is likely the "poor packaging of the engine compartment."
How did he come to this conclusion? The battery in the garage fire in Houston was intact and unplugged. Rather, Bereisa believes that a cramped engine compartment and the exhaust routing caused the car to overheat.
"That engine is shoehorned into that bay, because they had to use a larger engine, because it was too heavy a car," said Bereisa. "As a result, there's no room for exhaust routing and heat shielding to route the heat away."
The exhaust in the Karma doesn't make its way out the rear like traditional cars. Instead, it is released in front of the doors. Mix that kind of heat with a coolant, fuel or oil leak, and you have a fire on your hands.
According to Fisker, the company is currently investigating the cause of the Woodside fire.
"We have confidence in the Fisker Karma," said Fisker. "Safety is our primary concern and our Fisker staff have been in contact with the customer and are investigating the cause. We are also employing an independent fire investigation representative to assist in the root cause analysis. A further statement will be issued once the root cause has been determined."
This looks like another possible recall ahead for Fisker, but for now, here's a video of the Woodside customer's Karma burning in the grocery store parking lot:
Updated @ 5:31pm EST
Fisker Automotive has responded to this story and indicated that
Jon Bereisa's comments regarding the Fisker's engine compartment are "untrue". The company provides
this statement
as evidence.

Sarah Jessica Parker Designs Handbag For amfAR
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker has teamed up with fashion designer Kenneth Cole to create a bag for charity.
The Sex and the City star helped design the gold-dusted black snakeskin clutch, which will retail for $1,000 and benefit the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR).
One of the evening bags will be auctioned off at the organization's gala at the Cipriani Wall Street in New York on Wednesday, and Parker was delighted to put her skills to the test for the cause.
She says, "It's been an amazing experience to collaborate with Kenneth Cole on the design of a handbag supporting amfAR. Kenneth has used his platform as a fashion designer for nearly 30 years to advocate for amfAR's mission to end AIDS. I'm thrilled this bag will help raise money and awareness for the 30 million people living with HIV and AIDS."
Cole, Janet Jackson and Heidi Klum will be honored during the ceremony for their ongoing work with the foundation.

Top 40 Americans in the ABL (#21-30)
ball in places like Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth as participants in the Australian Baseball League. Let's look at some of the Top 40 Americans in the ABL. #30 C.J. Beatty was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 26th round of the 2009 MLB June Amateur Draft after all-star play at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, North Carolina. He progressed rapidly up the ranks in 2010 to Single-A Advanced Palm Beach in the Florida State League before the Cardinals farm system released him after discovering an irregular heartbeat during his 2011 camp physical. Although he was cleared to play after an EKG, the red birds acted on the side of caution with his release. That didn't stop him from pursing his dream. After Independent ball stints
in the North American League (San Angelo, Edinburg, and Fort Worth)
and the American Association League (Lincoln), the 24-year-old North Carolinian relished his time in the ABL playing third base for the Brisbane Bandits. He earned the ABL Round 11 Player of the Week title after a multi-home run game in which he drove in five of the Bandits' six runs. The former St. Louis Cardinals farmhand had hits in all four games of the Bandits' Round 11 series, going 6-for-11 (.667) with three homers and eight RBI. Beatty led Brisbane in both slugging percentage (.483) and on-base plus slugging percentage (.845) while batting .252 during 2012-13. #29 JaDamion "J.D." Williams played in his first year in the ABL after spending three seasons in the Minnesota Twins minor league system. A 10th round draft pick by the Twins in 2010 out of high school, J.D. inked a $125,000 signing bonus and spent the first two years at the rookie level before jumping to Single-A in 2012. He struggled in his pro debut, hitting just .214 while playing primarily second base in the Gulf Coast League in 2010, but switched to the outfield while moving up to Elizabethton in 2011 and thrived. He batted .317 with 17 extra-base hits, 25 walks, and 10 steals in 50 games. Williams demonstrated that beyond tools and projection there was a talented baseball player beneath all the speed and athleticism. With the Beloit Snappers in 2012, the Florida native batted .234 and stole 23 bases in 32 attempts. The 21-year-old's power numbers have also gone up every year, hitting one in his first season and six in 2012. Playing 37 games for the 2012-13 Sydney Blue Sox in the ABL, the switch-hitting outfielder contributed greatly to the team's second place finish in the standings despite a lackluster .218 batting average. Drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 19th round of the 2008 MLB June Amateur Draft after graduating from South Carolina's York High School, #28 Zac Fuesser chose not to sign in favor of attending college. Yet, the left-handed hurler was snagged as a 2009 34th round draft pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates after receiving a $125,000 signing bonus. Since embarking on his professional baseball career at age 18, Fuesser has appeared in 83 games for three different minor league teams in the Pirates system and has a career 3.73 ERA. He spent his 2011 and 2012 campaigns pitching for Single-A West Virginia Power prior to joining the Adelaide Bite in the Australian Baseball League. Named to Team World in the 2012 ABL All-Star game, the 22-year-old southpaw contained Team Australia and pitched one scoreless inning. Second on the Adelaide pitching staff in strikeouts (57) in 57.1 innings of work, starter Zach Fuesser appeared in 11 games during the 2012-13 ABL season and posted a 4-4 record with a 3.61 ERA. He held opponents to a .259 batting average and had a strong 1.44 ground outs per fly outs ratio. #27 Jonathan Jones was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 29th round of the 2010 draft after a successful collegiate career for the Long Beach State Dirtbags. Prized for his speed, strong throwing arm and defensive prowess in the outfield, the 22-year-old Northern California native played in 90 games for the 2012 Single-A Advanced Dunedin Blue Jays and posted a .266 batting average before venturing down under in the Australian Baseball League. The Canberra Cavalry center fielder was promising in the early going (.258 BA, 1 HR, 2 SB), but unfortunately had to return home after only eight games due to a hamstring issue that shortened his ABL experience.
@abuschini Thanks bro. Give me a call when you get back to the Bay.

"I believe that Twitter is a great tool. It gives the fans access to follow their favorite players and see what they are doing, learn their likes and dislikes, and even get to see photos. It allows fans to feel like they have a personal relationship and for the athletes, and in return, it allows us to see all the fans' love and support."After a stellar high school baseball career, #26 Andrew Kittredge–a Spokane, Washington-born right-handed pitcher–was taken in the 45th round of the 2008 draft by the Seattle Mariners. Kittredge began his pro ball career after playing at the University of Washington in Seattle. He completed his first full season in the Mariners organization by splitting time between three different leagues within the farm system in 2012. Starting at Single-A Clinton before jumping up to Double-A Jackson, the 22-year-old Mariners prospect spent most of the season pitching for Single-A Advanced High Desert Mavericks. During the course of his brief 2012 elevator ride up-and-down, Kittredge made 25 appearances in 42 innings of relief and went 3-1 with a 4.07 ERA while striking out 43. Working as the 2012-13 Adelaide Bite closer in the ABL, Andrew saved six games and compiled a 3-1 record with a 4.73 ERA while striking out 25.
#25 Nathan Melendres was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 17th round of the 2011 MLB June Amateur Draft from his hometown University of Miami Hurricanes in Florida. The 22-year-old outfielder was one of three Adelaide Bite imports to have finished the 2012 season with the High Desert Mavericks of the California League. Having only played in 23 games in 2012 during his second season in the Mariners organization, Nathan put together a .307 batting average with two home runs and 15 RBI between
@nate_melendres you need to step up your twitter game! #tweetsfromdownunda #classy #eeeeeeertttttaaaahh
— Andrew Kittredge (@amkittredge) October 25, 2012
his time at Single-A Advanced High Desert, Single-A Clinton and the Arizona Rookie League. However, he got his work in this off-season in 26 ABL contests. With a .245 batting average, five extra-base hits and five homers to his credit while in an Adelaide Bite uniforn, Melendres made his impression felt
in Australia and excited the Mariners' faithful. #24 Carlos Alonso was selected in the 32nd round of the 2010 draft by the Philadelphia Phillies after playing for the University of Delaware. The Los Gatos, California native began his collegiate baseball career at Santa Barbara City College, where he was a two-time First Team All-Western State Conference third baseman. Hitting over .360 two years straight for the Vaqueros, he started 88 consectutive games at Santa Barbara City College and led his team to the playoffs twice. Leaving the West Coast in search of more playing time, Alonso transferred to the University of Delaware and was under the guidance of head baseball coach Jim Sherman. Upon being drafted by the Phillies in 2010, Sherman was supportive
of Alonso regardless of his chosen career path. "Wherever Carlos goes, whatever he decides to do beyond baseball, whether he plays baseball for a career professionally, or goes into the business sector of the world, no matter what part of the country he's in, he's always going to be perceived as a class individual," Sherman said. "I think people are just going to gravitate towards him." Ranked #25 in Bleacher Report's 2012 Phillies Top 25 Positional Prospects, the righty infielder played 93 games for Single-A Advanced Clearwater and racked up a respectable .278 batting average. A versatile utility player who can play any infield or outfield position,
the 25-year-old Phillies farmhand is valuable commodity for any team manager. While in Australia, Alonso anchored the Brisbane Bandits infield at third base. Bandits manager Kevin Jordan said, "Like a lot
of guys, Carlos got out here and you're learning the whole league overnight, literally. You get thrown in the fire. For him, it is what
it is. I told him what was going to happen, that he was going to be thrown into it, that he was going to have to pretty much learn all
the pitchers; where to play guys defensively, on the fly and he's starting to come around, especially with the bat." Alonso ended the 2012-13 ABL season with a .209 batting average and seven doubles. #23 Adam Melker was selected by the
St. Louis Cardinals in the 44th round of the June 2010 Amateur Draft from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. After completing his third season
in the Cardinals organization and putting up good 2012 numbers (126 games, .278 batting average, 10 home runs, 35 RBI) at Double-A Springfield, Melker was reunited with former Perth Heat manager and current Corvallis Knights skipper Brooke Knight–who took his 2011-12 Aussie champion Heat to South Korea to represent Australia in the 2012 Asia Series. Prior to arriving in mid-October to play for Perth in the ABL, the left-handed hitting slugger exuded excitement. "I'm really excited," said Melker. "I've heard baseball in Asia is extremely good so I'm looking forward to the challenge. Some time off this winter would have been nice, but I couldn't turn down and opportunity to play baseball on two other continents…"
Melker remained with the Heat until mid-December and then
returned to the United States. "I would have liked to have stayed longer," he said. "But I needed some time off that
I could dedicate to strength training and get 100% healthy before I headed off to spring training in March." During
the 22 ABL games Melker played in the Perth outfield,
he contributed to the Heat's early season offensive attack
with a .247 batting average–including two doubles, two
triples, one home run, six RBI and one stolen base.
(4 games played, 9-for-14 for a .643 batting average, 4 doubles, 4 RBI, and 6 runs total) sustained an elbow injury and had to return to America for surgery. In his last nine games prior to his departure, the left-handed hitting 25-year-old Bite first baseman/ DH was on a roll–going 15-for-35 with five doubles and five RBI–but left with a down-to-earth .266 batting average.
Drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in
the 24th round of the 2010 MLB June Amateur Draft from University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, Justin Howard has successfully been promoted each of his three seasons for the Buccos. The native Texan hit .283 with two homers and 29 RBI in 83 games for Single-A Advanced Bradenton prior to playing in the ABL. He will certainly be welcome to return to the Adelaide Bite next season.
It's been amazing Adelaide. Sorry for the early departure but gotta get the elbow cleaned out. Back to the great state of Texas in 15 hours

Farewell To The Medscape Journal: Profits, Losses And A Canary In A Coal Mine
On January 31, 2009 The Medscape Journal will be discontinued.* One can only assume that the journal's parent company, WebMD, could no longer justify the cost associated with a free, open-access, peer-reviewed medical journal that receives no income from advertisers or sponsors. The Medscape Journal's budget has been supported by revenue generated from Medscape (the website), and their robust Continuing Medical Education (CME) business.
In these challenging economic times, American companies are taking a cold, hard look at their P and L spreadsheets and nixing the least profitable parts of their businesses. The inevitable "non-profit" casualties present an ethical dilemma. What will become of the noble pursuits that are based upon "doing the right thing" rather than making a profit?
There is no such thing as completely unbiased publishing (humans all have personal agendas – whether conscious or unconscious), though The Medscape Journal came about as close to it as any medical journal ever has. The journal is free to authors and readers, and provides 24-hour online access to both professional and lay viewers from around the globe. There are no advertisements or outside sponsors, peer reviewers work without compensation or specific recognition, and editors are paid a minimal salary (full disclosure: I know this because I was an editor for The Medscape Journal several years ago). CME credit is offered for articles determined to be of special relevance, but no articles are commissioned specifically for the purpose of CME.
The Medscape Journal is a wonderful experiment in high ethics. It espouses, in my opinion, the gold standard principles of medical publishing. Tragically, market forces (or perhaps the lack of perceived value by its own parent company) killed it. So what does this mean for medical publishing? If there is no economic model for "pure science" then are medical journals doomed to go the way of health media – promoting sensational or biased science for profit?

By Freedom Newspapers
John Kerry is the gift that just keeps on giving — to the Republicans. He did come around with an apology Wednesday to any service members who might have been offended by his remarks at Pasadena City College last week. The question is whether that will be enough to make this episode go away.
Even if you give him the full benefit of the doubt — that the immortal words he uttered to a student audience, "Education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq" were aimed at President Bush and not a disparagement of U.S. troops — it was a flat, unfunny and thoroughly mean-spirited "joke."
Simply to say it, whether it was off-the-cuff or something written in his notes, reflects the thoroughly unearned sense of superiority that many found so troubling about Kerry the last time he ran for office.
The most astounding (and perhaps revealing) aspect of the episode was Sen. Kerry's cluelessly self-righteous refusal to apologize immediately for what could have been seen as a minor gaffe if he had treated it intelligently.
The statement obviously can be seen as a slam at the educational attainments of U.S. troops in Iraq. It's also difficult not to wonder whether there's a subconscious kind of time warp in operation, with Kerry stuck in a Vietnam-era set of attitudes that just doesn't fit in the era of the all-volunteer military.
He could have said something like this: "I know some thought I was disparaging our troops. It certainly wasn't meant that way, but I take full responsibility for this ambiguous faux pas and apologize to any members of the military who felt offended. Our troops are fine, well-educated and well-trained young women and men who are ill-served by our top leaders." If he had, we probably wouldn't be discussing this now.
Instead, his immediate response was petulant and immature, blaming everybody but himself for the words that came out of his mouth. In the process he probably hurt his party's prospects in the upcoming election.
At least Democrats can be grateful that he has probably torpedoed any chance of being taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2008.

Pentagon eyes Vt. for missile interceptor siteSeptember 12,2013By Neal P. Goswami
MONTPELIER — The Camp Ethan Allen Training Site in Jericho has been selected as one of five potential sites by the Pentagon for a missile defense battery, despite strong objections to the program from Vermont's congressional delegation.
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Democrat and the most senior member of the Senate's Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, was informed Thursday that the Vermont site was chosen a potential Ground-based Midcourse Interceptor East Coast location, according to Leahy spokesman David Carle.
The missile shield system consists of ground-based interceptor missiles and radar to intercept incoming warheads.
Other possible sites announced Thursday are located at Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center in Ohio, NAS Portsmouth SERE Training Area in Maine, Fort Custer CTC in Michigan and Fort Drum in New York.
The Pentagon is studying possible new locations for the missile shield system to determine their suitability as future interceptor deployment sites, Vice Admiral James D. Syring, director of the Missile Defense Agency, wrote in a letter to Sen. Patrick Leahy, which his office released Thursday morning.
Members of Vermont's congressional delegation reacted strongly to the announcement that the Vermont National Guard training facility was selected.
"I've always felt that the multiple billions spent on missile defense are a monumental waste of money, on technologically challenged systems, and I am emphatically against putting one of these sites in Vermont," Leahy said.
Democratic Rep. Peter Welch went even further, giving the Vermont site no chance of being selected.
"This is absurd. It's the wrong location for a bad idea and dead on arrival," he said.
Sen. Bernard Sanders, an independent, said he, too, doubts that Vermont will ever serve as a missile defense site.
"My first impression is that this is a very bad idea and, for a wide variety of reasons, I do not believe that it will ever happen," Sanders said.
Carle said neither Congress nor the Pentagon have made a decision on whether any additional interceptor sites will be deployed in the U.S, nor is there any money appropriated for a new site.
"Based on the fiscal 2013 defense authorizing law, the Pentagon is required to conduct a study to validate or invalidate the requirement for an East Coast ballistic missile defense location, and part of that study, which will be completed before the end of this year, will be to identify the possible locations for consideration under an Environmental Impact Study if the basic requirement for a site is validated," Carle wrote in an email. "By virtue of this announcement, Camp Ethan Allen may, or may not, be included in that list of locations for further study under an EIS."
According to Syring's letter, the Missile Defense Agency will contact each site as part of a data gathering process for the study that will assess potential interceptor sites. The sites will then be reassessed to determine suitable locations for further consideration, including on-site visits.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...
