Skip to comments.Trooper, motorist: Mysterious object fell from sky
Posted on 04/12/2012 9:20:09 AM PDT by NormsRevenge
LITCHFIELD, Conn. (AP) Authorities in northwestern Connecticut say they didn't find anything after a state trooper and another person reported a large object falling out of the sky in Litchfield.
The Republican-American of Waterbury reports (http://bit.ly/HEwTYZ ) that a person driving in Litchfield at about 2 a.m. Tuesday reported that a green, glowing object the size of a whale fell from the sky and crashed into Bantam Lake. Officials say that at about the same time, a state trooper 10 miles away in Warren called dispatchers to report that something fell out of the sky and landed near Bantam or Morris.

I will have the music theme from Jaws playing in my head when I fall in the water while water skiing. Keep a look out for a big green whale with rabies.
This is Connecticut.
If they find any Triffids, they will run them as Democrats and elect them to the legislature.
We already have a Democrat-infested, carnivorous, parasitic legislature that loves nothing better than paralyzing and sucking the lifeblood out of their hard-working, ever-suffering hosts.
Would we even notice the difference?
Even more bizarre than a green glowing object that falls from the sky is the fact that Michelle wears a sleeveless summer frock in December.

Some things simply defy explanation. Some things are even further out there.
A great example of the latter came to light last week, when Neal Du Shane from the Arizona Pioneer Cemetery Research Project arrived at Historic Fort Lupton, ostensibly to hunt unmarked graves on the site.
Du Shane's weapon of choice? Two slim metal rods, roughly 2 feet long, with short handles bent into the ends.
Amateur historian and sleuth Du Shane is a grave dowser, a rare breed of tracker who searches out pioneer gravesites with the use of divining rods. Controversial in nature, the practice is nonetheless in use by numerous grave hunters across the country, who swear by the technique. Born and raised in Mitchell County, Iowa, Du Shane says he always had an interest in ghost towns, an interest that blossomed into an investigation of the settlements, or what remained. The first order of business was to locate the early sites, often with no visible clues remaining.
"I asked, 'How do I find these old ghost towns, and where they exist in Mitchell County?'" Du Shane said. "And so we kind of scratched our heads, and I said, 'You know, there had to have been cemeteries at these old sites.' Then I took it a step farther, and I said, 'About how far would those cemeteries be from the original town?'"
Basing his logic on an estimation of how far people were likely to walk to a burial site, Du Shane started looking for the cemeteries about a half of a mile to a mile out.
"Then we found those cemeteries, and could determine where those old towns were," Du Shane said.
Aside from cemeteries, trail edges can be productive hunting grounds, since a large percentage of pioneer dead found their eternal resting spots beside the long and dusty, en route to the Wild West.
"The way people buried people back in the 1830s, 40s, 50s was, where you died was pretty much where they buried you, because there wasn't embalming. Literally, it was imperative they buried them as quick as possible.
"I'm not a medium, I'm not from Mars, this is just what we do," Du Shane explained. "You have heard of witching for water? This is very similar to that. My explanation, and this is my explanation only, is that all mammals have electricity in their bodies, and when we pass, that electricity or magnetism stays in our skeletal remains. What these rods are doing is picking up the magnetism between the two entities, the buried and the person standing above."
The technique works on living humans as well, according to Du Shane, who demonstrated on volunteers from the South Platte Valley Historical Society. Approaching a male figure with the rods outstretched in front, Du Shane noted the crossing of the rod tips in relation to Du Shane's closeness to the volunteer. Approaching a female, the rod tips swung outwards.
Not content with merely demonstrating his own abilities, Du Shane handed out sets of rods to each of the five members present, asking them to duplicate his results. Without fail, the society volunteers enjoyed success, and a dose of incredulity.
Using the rods to outline the grave's shape, Du Shane said he is able to determine the relative size, and consequently, the approximate age of the occupant. He also claimed to be able to tell the orientation of the body by use of the rods, though that part of the equation might be the easy part. Christians tended to bury their dead in an west-east orientation, (head oriented to the west) so the deceased could witness the Second Coming of Christ as they arose on Judgment Day.
Not so easy to explain is Du Shane's claim that he can find a specific person's grave via use of dowsing by asking closed-ended questions and following the rod's response. Du Shane might also ask about the date or manner of the decedent's passing, but he tended not to give credence to the responses.
Using his methodology, Du Shane claimed to locate, with the group's help, some 17 graves; 14 male and 3 female. He found most along what would have been the south wall of the original fort. The exceptions are one grave inside the fort purported to be Lancaster Lupton's son, and three graves located to the northwest, along the riverbank near the site of the old 'hanging tree.'
The hitch? Short of bringing in a backhoe to exhume the purported remains, there is no proof that Du Shane found anything, a conundrum he freely acknowledges. Since none of the volunteers on hand seemed ready to take shovels in hand, they took the results with a grain of salt, alternately dowsing on their own, talking with Du Shane about his research and enjoying the cool fall morning. Interesting, sure, but maybe not something to rewrite fort history over, at least at this point.
Despite the controversy, Du Shane says he gets plenty of work, locating remains throughout the southwest to California, working with historical societies, cemetery curators and, on occasion, law enforcement.
"I tend not to publicize those," Du Shane said. "Mostly because I don't want some murderer coming after me after I show the police where a grave is."

Medical Arm of the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support
Official Title
Medical Arm of the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support
Brief Overview
Medamacs is a prospective, observational study of ambulatory patients with advanced heart
failure. The study enrolls patients who have not yet received a Left Ventricular Assist
Device (LVAD) but who receive their care at a hospital with a Joint Commission certified
mechanical circulatory support program.
Medamacs is funded through the Interagency for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support
(INTERMACS) NHLBI Contract.
Participants between 18 and 80 years old with low ejection fraction history and
hospitalization for heart failure within the past year will be screened for the study. All
subjects who have been admitted to the heart failure service will be screened and recruited,
either as an inpatient or during their first outpatient follow-up appointment by the
investigator and research staff caring for patients in the advanced heart failure program.
Eligibility for enrollment will be based only upon information that is clinically available
at the time of screening. The history of prior hospitalizations will be available from
clinical records.
Routine evaluation and triage of ambulatory patients with advanced heart disease includes
echocardiography and functional assessment with peak oxygen consumption and frequently 6
minute walk distance. The elements of information required for estimation of the Seattle
Heart Failure Risk score will be gleaned from laboratory data, or imputed as described in
the Seattle score literature. The research coordinator will enter this data onto a currently
available website for calculation of the Seattle score.
Eligibility will be determined by the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the study
research team will approach individual subjects who are potential candidates for
participation once the subject's primary physician has given permission to approach. Only
persons with a scientific or ethical reason will be excluded. Incarcerated prisoners have
been excluded by this protocol.
Participants will be followed every 6 months for 24 months after two baseline visits. The 6
month and 18 month follow ups consist of telephone interviews. Follow ups at 12 months and
24 months consists of routine clinical visits.
Approximately 350 patients from 12 centers in the United States will be enrolled over a 12
month period.

Evaluation of a new automated urine cell analyser (Sysmex UF-1000i) for bacteriological urinalysis
Abstract number: 1733_646
von Wulffen H.
Objectives: We wanted to assess to what extent the UF-1000i (SYSMEX) automated urine cell analyser can support bacteriological urinalysis, in particular to find answers to the following questions: can it replace Gram stain? Can we dispense with culture in case of negative results for bacteria, leukocytes and yeast-like cells? Is there a suitable cut-off for number of bacteria to select urine specimens for direct susceptibility testing?
Methods: Urine specimens with a request for urine culture were processed using the UF-1000i in parallel with Gram stain and culturing overnight of 0.001 mL undiluted urine each onto UTI, CNA, and Sabouraud agar using calibrated loops. Specimens were also tested for inhibitory activity using spore plates.
Results: To select out negative specimens UF-1000i results were considered positive if white blood cells exceeded 20/ml and/or bacterial particles were counted over 50/ml and/or yeast-like cells exceeded 25/ml. In comparison, cultures yielding organisms at 103 CFU/mL or higher were considered positive. On this basis out of 363 urine specimens evaluated 42% of the UF-1000i results were true positive, 30% true negative, 22% false positive, and 6% false negative. However, only 2/24 false negative results yielded 106 CFU/mL, all others had 104 CFU/mL or lower, most of them with mixed flora, thus reducing significantly false negative results to less than 0.6%. Only looking at the specimens without inhibitory activity (n = 232) and using a cut-off of 105 CFU/mL or higher for predicting a urinary tract infection, the UF-1000i yielded a sensitivity of 97.6%, a specificity of 86.7%, a positive predictive value of 80.0%, and a negative predictive value of 98.5% when using a cut-off of 100 bacterial particles/ml. This cut-off also proved useful for selecting those specimens suitable for direct susceptibility testing.
Conclusions: For our purposes the UF-1000i could replace Gram stain of urine specimens and thereby reduce time-consuming microscopy. The low rate of truly false negative results around 0.6% appears to be tolerable and would allow dispensing with culture in case of negative UF-1000i results and thus further reduce workload in the laboratory. Specimens from certain patients (e.g. haematology patients with cytopenia) or certain materials (e.g. suprapubic bladder aspirates) should be cultured in any case.

A gas leak causes a scare near Valley View Mall Wednesday at about 8 a.m.
The La Crosse Fire Department says construction crews working on building the new Dick's Sporting Goods hit a gas line.
No injuries or illnesses were reported. Fire crews were concerned that the leak was happening right next to the Holiday Inn Express.
"Our main concern was making sure that the gas wasn't getting into the building. We were getting some readings on our meters, so we went room by room and went through the whole building and confirmed that it was safe for the occupants," said La Crosse Fire Division Chief Tom Wallerich.
Xcel Energy contained the leak within an hour and immediately started working on repairs.

Description from the Publisher
New 6.1 - It's faster, finds more problems than others and is even easier to use! People's Choice Winner 2003 Shareware Industry Conference! Tired of Windows crashing? Sick of having software lock up on you or taking forever to load? The problem could be all of those incorrect registry entries caused by software installations and un-installations that went awry!
Not all software un-installations do a complete job leaving behind numerous nagging file references in the Windows registry pointing to files that no longer exist. In time, you can end up with hundreds of these files that may slow down your computer and cause software to lock up, requiring a hard reboot of your computer.
Also, if you've moved your programs from one drive to another, you can break the file links that a program needs. Registry First Aid will find these files and folders that you've moved on your hard drive and help you correct the registry entries that point to them.
Registry First Aid scans registry for orphan file/folder references, finds these files or folders on your drives that may have been moved from their initial locations, and then corrects your registry entries to match the located files or folders. In addition, if your registry has links to files of deleted applications, Registry First Aid will find these invalid entries and remove them from your registry. With Registry First Aid, your Windows registry will be always clean and correct, helping your programs load faster and speeding up your computer.
Registry First Aid allows you to:
- find invalid file/folder references in Windows 9x/NT/2000/ME/XP registry;
- select drives and paths where to search registry referenced files/folders;
- select found matches to make corrections to invalid registry entries;
- delete incorrect registry references to previously un-installed files or folders;
- create undo files in RegEdit4 format, so you always can restore Windows registry to the original state.

Show Me
A gifted New Yorker, Kate McGarry, has a voice that reflects all the best qualities of her hometown: bold, bright, gutsy and imbued with a salty dash of Marisa Tomei Brooklynese. On Show Me (Lemur Music; 45:20), McGarry goes to town on a mixed bag of standards and show tunes. Though her "Gypsy in My Soul" is quite as free-spirited as one might like, she transforms the Lerner and Loewe title tune-so often associated with Julie Andrews' thundering treatment-into a languorous invitation for overdue sex. She fills "This Is Always" with the cozy joy of genuine satisfaction, delivers "The Thrill Is Gone" with poignant deflation and enriches "Get Out of Town" with a predatory purr that's worthy of Julie London.

Roosevelt General Hospital wants to know how they're doing — not with surgery and checkups, but with smiles and customer service.
Like mixing unpleasant but necessary cough syrup with a flavored compound to help it go down easier, hospital administrators want to provide their medical care with a heavy dose of excellent customer service.
Tammy Phillips is the risk management and the emergency preparedness director for RGH and she also serves on a hospital satisfaction survey committee.
The committee consists of three people, who look at the claims and complaints on a monthly basis.
"We look at all of the patient claims or problems and we try to make sure to write personal apology letters. We (also) would have asked them to come out and have a meal with us," Phillips said. "We identify if it's a positive or a negative reaction. If it's negative, we take that complaint to the department that they are addressing and (we) have the department manager address the behavior that made the customer unhappy."
Hospital administrators say that when a patient or family member has a bad experience, oftentimes they don't leave any feedback.
"We had a patient who ended up one time who had to wait a very long time in the waiting room," Phillips said. "(We) ended up not getting to do the procedure because our equipment broke down. We weren't able to send that patient an apology letter."
Susan Ritter is a licensed practical nurse at RGH since November, and says customer service can be overlooked in the medical field because of the nationwide nursing shortage — that's an oversight RGH wants to avoid.
"We like to keep our reputation and our standards for patient care high. We like to know that patients and their families are comfortable while they're here," Ritter said. "As much as we don't want to see patients come back, we like that they come back because they choose our service over other hospitals."
Ritter also said that they receive letters from former patients commenting on the quality of customer service received while in the care of the hospital.
"We take our surveys very seriously," Phillips said. "This is the county's facility. All of our patients have ownership in this hospital. It is their facility and we are there to meet their needs."
Roosevelt General Hospital's mission statement shows the commitment the health care facility strives to achieve in both their medical care as well as their customer service skills.
The statement reads: "Caring for you to make a better tomorrow."
"We really stand behind that. We believe that we're there to make a difference for today and tomorrow," Phillips said. "We want to be able to give the best service in this part of New Mexico that we can."

Pearce Statement in Recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Las Cruces, NM (October 12, 2012) – Today, Congressman Steve Pearce issued the following statement in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month:
"Families throughout New Mexico and across the country are affected each year by the tragic effects of breast cancer. I hope everyone will join me in remembering those we have lost and praying for those fighting breast cancer today. I also encourage my fellow New Mexicans to come together alongside breast cancer victims in their communities, and to support efforts to find a cure."
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was founded in 1985. It is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.

A visit to Montreal guarantees many things – world-famous bagels, exciting architecture, and in the summer months, a lineup of festivals that delights tourists and locals alike. From music and comedy shows to Formula One races, the festival season makes Montreal an attractive spot for summer getaways.
One of the city's most popular events is the ten-day Festival International de Jazz de Montreal (June 28-July 7), centered in the Place Des Arts complex. With more than 2500 artists from around the world, the Jazz Fest brings the streets of downtown Montreal to life with plenty of free outdoor shows, which in previous years have featured such legendary artists as Stevie Wonder. This year, visitors can look out for headline artist Norah Jones, as well as Ben Harper, Seal and even Liza Minnelli.
Bringing a different league of star power to town is the Just for Laughs Festival (July 12-29), where both celebrity and up-and-coming comedians turn the city into a playground for practical jokes. Be on the lookout for outdoor events including acrobatic shows and a carnival inspired by Jean Paul Gaultier. As always, watch out for those infamous street gags that put unsuspecting passersby in the middle of the fun (and potentially on television).
For a change of pace, car enthusiasts can gear up for the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix (June 8-10), where a 72-hour period ignites the passion of a sports-loving city. Spectators crowd the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve grandstand to catch a glimpse of the F1600 and the flashy Porsche or Ferrari Challenges.
Culture buffs won't be disappointed by the city's summer offerings, with popular events including the annual Free Museum Day (May 27), where more than 30 museums open their doors with free admission, expanded opening hours and a special activities program. Last year's participants included the Science Centre and Museum of Fine Arts, as well as the Biodome, where ecosystems like tropical rainforests and Sub-Antarctic islands – with their ever-so-popular penguins – come to life under one roof.
There's no better season to visit Montreal than in the summer, and with a constant stream of events -- more than fifty from May to August -- any time is a good time to visit this energetic city. Take advantage of deals like an all-suite hotel for $79-$99 and stay right in the heart of the action.

An infant's sleep environment plays a large role in safe sleep for infants. SIDS deaths are most likely to occur when babies are between the ages of 2 months and 4 months, and deaths tend to peak in winter months. It is the leading cause of death in babies 1 month to 1 year old.

A baby crib is one of the most expensive things you will buy for your new baby. While you can always go to your local store to shop you may find it much easier to sit at home and shop at your own computer.
A baby crib is most likely at the top of your list of things you will need for your new baby. With all of the different styles and features, it can be a daunting task to pick the safest and best crib for your new family member.
A baby will sleep just about anywhere, so baby crib options are mostly based on style, personal taste and functionality. Here are some descriptions of options to accommodate a sleeping baby.
One of the most basic ways parents can help prepare their family dog is to expose them to the baby equipment prior to its use with an actual baby. I advise that Grandparents, guardians and childcare providers that have dogs also take these simple steps to evaluate their own dog and circumstances.

Dads and moms who find themselves in the drugstore trying to buy a thermometer in a hurry may be overwhelmed by their choices. The thermometer market has broadened in the last decade: While parents once had had two choices, there are now five or six.
I formed a habit of carrying my baby. We're both happier because of this decision. And with a good sling, it's no harder on me than pulling my own weight. The concept of babywearing is as old as time, and is still prevalent today in many cultures. It's a practice on the rise in the United States.

No, but according to the reviews it's really good.

Candy Bra
Only: £4.99
Tasty treat
Reviewed: 22 September 2015 by mostly_vanilla, a Straight Going Steady Female
I got this bra as a novelty gift for a friend a while back. After a little while I remembered it was still up to review so I asked her for her thoughts.
She told me that it was mostly used for snacking on, and the sweets were delicious, exactly the same as the old candy necklaces, just with a bit of a racy twist. The bra fitted fairly well, even if it was a little cumbersome to put on. She is particularly blessed on that front, and the bra was able to cover her even so, even if that only boiled down to the bare essentials.
She did also mention there was a fair bit of chalky dust in the plastic itself. I would presume this was possibly from me bringing this tasty treat to her. It did not take away any of the enjoyment or amusement for her though.
Unfortunately I do not have a personal experience to report on this particular purchase. However, from the feedback received, I reckon it would make an excellent gag gift for a girls night, or give you a chance to give a partner something sweet to suck on.
- Pros
- Pleasant taste, enough sweets to give you a rather large sugar high.
- Cons
- Slight chalky residue in bag, but could be from transit.
- Bottom line
- An excellent little gag gift.

Amazing nipple stimulation
Reviewed: 10 October 2014 by KiwiKeen
I bought these along with many other candy wearable items recently, and my goodness is this bra (well bikini top) great!
The candy is pretty blah, but the feel of the little beads rolling around your nipples, or when your partner squeezes them you get a few pleasurable pinches, is amazing!
The overall fit was pretty good! I'm a 34 full C, sometimes D, and these gave a little lift and fit like a well-made triangle bikini. And it's great to look at in combination with the thong!
- Pros
- The fit and sensations.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- Great! Amazing surprise and novelty item!

Fun bra for a sweet night
Reviewed: 06 November 2014 by Ctroamb, a Straight Going Steady Male
I bought this bra for my girlfriend as a joke gift for her birthday. At first we both thought about the candy necklaces you bought as a kid and how much we used to love them. So could the bra match up to the high expectations we had?
Well, it's safe to say she loved them! The bra fit her well, and from what she told me it was very comfortable. They rubbed against her nipples, making them hard, which occasionally poked through and really turned us both on.
The candy tasted amazing, and the sugar left behind on her breasts was a nice treat too.
My only complaint was that the candy was very hard and could be difficult to bite off. But apart from that it was a fun gift that we both enjoyed.
- Pros
- The bra looked great and tasted even better.
- Cons
- The candy was too hard and a little fiddly.
- Bottom line
- A fun gift if you want a night that's not too serious.

sleep freak
I have to toss this certain way, move my leg that certain way, wiggle twice, twitch once, have my pillow just so, white noise at just a certain level, L's snoring kills my chi so earplugs are handy, blanket must be touching my face, water next to bed in case, bedroom door closed, ceiling fan off, lights out, baby monitor in sight, clock in sight for when baby wakes so I can check it, jammies worn this way, hair pulled back that way, toss this other way, pull my leg over the covers just so...and on and on it goes until maybe, just maybe I fall asleep an hour later.
And some nights even all that doesn't help me.
In high school my mom used to read the bible to me before bed to help my mind wind down. I was even more of a sleep freak then.
In college I built myself into a cocoon of sorts, ran a fan, wore ear plugs and went to sleep after everyone else so I wasn't forced to keep listening to people around me.
I wish I could just fall asleep and stay asleep. It is a trait my husband has that I am completely envious of. For him and being a pilot it is necessary so I am happy for him...but still envious.
Like right now. I did everything I could think of and nadda. I actually felt more awake and energized and annoyed at the air than usual. I don't know why. Either way, Judah will be awake before 7:00am so I will go try again here in a couple minutes.
So tell me, what are your sleep routines and habits? are you a sleep freak like me? or more like my DH?
wishing all my sweet friends sweet dreams :)

I sleep as soon as I hit the pillow.
It was not always this way. But having four kids has made it impossible to sleep for long stretches.
I taught myself (of of necessity) to sleep. On a good night I am up only once, but on those nights where the children are extra needy? I can be up and down upwards of 8-10 times a night. After I am done tending to them? I can fall right back asleep (only to be woken again an hour later!) so I think it was my body just physically giving into sleep rather than something I trained myself to do....
does that make any sense? LOL
Sorry you are struggling. Have you tried melatonin??
- Jamie Willow said...
Sarah...do you know if Melatonin is safe to use while breastfeeding? I totally used it pre pregnancy and baby...it helped me a ton.
And I am usually okay falling back asleep after a middle of the night baby thing...it's just the initial transition to sleep I struggle with...
- Mrs. B. said...
I'm a sleep freak too. Your routine sounds a lot like mine. (You're probably more severe though.) :)
Ira falls asleep like a lump and never wakes up.
- Sarah said...
Not sure on the melatonin and nursing??? I will see what I can find :)
- Burkinator said...
Ah, this brings back watching you try to get comfortable on the mattress on the floor. : ) Orange ears plugs, fan, quilt ...
I'm pretty much out immediately. As soon as Mr. T puts the CPAP mask on and I roll on my left side, it's over. It's probably less than a minute, but if I get less than 6 1/2 hrs, I'm a mess.
- O My Blog! said...
I long for stay asleep sleep too. My doc gave me a script last week for Lunesta which I have had before but for some reason, I'm too scared to take it.
I hope you can try to the Melatonin and still bf.
- * said...
I am so glad to hear that this is not just me! I have the worst time sleeping. The ER doctor actually gave me a vicodin the other day, and I really didn't want to take it - but he said that one was perfectly safe for the baby . . . so I did, and it was the best night I have had in years . . . years! If you find a solution let me know. I go through fans annually.
- Burkinator said...
I made my stupid comment yesterday, then had a hard time sleeping last night. That's what I get ... Also, I find it hard to sleep if Tim and his white noise, anti-snoring machine are gone. It's probably part missing him and part that the sound of the machine has become my cue to sleep.
- Jamie E said...
I do not sleep well at home, I have mom ears on, always. I have had to learn how to take naps. It is really hard for me. Good luck!

About MeI have always wanted to peruse modeling and this is a perfect time in my life to start. I signed up for this site to hopefully gain experience in the modeling world and network myself. I believe I am very versatile so I don't exactly have a style. I am always looking to try something new. One really unique thing about me is that I am adopted which means I do not know what ethnicity I am. I am extremely proud of being adopted and I believe that it gives me an ability to not be held down to one particular ethnicity.

The iMpulse Controller Is The Little Bluetooth Accessory That Could
Well, this is an ambitious little accessory, isn't it? Say hello to the iMpulse, which is essentially a cross between the iCade Mobile and the Hone Kickstarter project. That is, it's a gaming controller, as well as a locator for your keys (or anything else you leave it attached to). [caption id="attachment_317267" align="aligncenter" width="1204" caption="iMpulse features"][/caption] The iMpulse connects to your iDevice via Bluetooth and features a rechargeable battery that is large enough for "long play sessions and extended sleep mode." For gaming, the iMpulse features four buttons and a gliding thumbstick (like the one on the Nintendo 3DS) to play over 100 compatible games. Sound familiar? The iMplulse is compatible with the same games as the iCade. Maybe they used the iCade's SDK? When you aren't gaming, the iMpulse can be used as a tracker of sorts. Simply activate its free companion app, hit the Locate button, and if your iMpulse is within range (about 100 feet), it'll start chirping. That's just icing on the cake for me. The iMpulse won't be available until the end of the year, but the company is now accepting pre-orders for just $19.99. Compare that to the $70 iCade Mobile and $50 Hone and the iMpulse is practically a steal. Since it uses Bluetooth and doesn't need to physically connect to your iDevice, the iMpulse should be compatible with the next generation iPhone as well. [caption id="attachment_317266" align="aligncenter" width="816" caption="The iMpulse"][/caption] I'm pretty excited about the iMpluse. It's simple, practical, and best of all, cheap. Will you be pre-ordering an iMpulse?

Weinstein in 'Denial'
February 23, 2012 —
NARROWSBURG, NY — "Denial," an exhibit of silk screen and linoleum block prints by Joyce Ellen Weinstein, opens with a reception on Saturday, February 25 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Alliance Gallery at the Delaware Arts Center. The exhibit runs through March 17.
Weinstein is a New York City native who recently moved to Milford, PA. Her works are concerned with the understanding of human relationships. While at an artist's residency in Vilnius, Lithuania, she observed a group of employees practicing trusting and bonding exercises with a facilitator to foster better workplace relationships. "Some people were blindfolded and others actually walked on tight ropes attached high up on the trees. I took many photos because it was so intriguing," Weinstein said. When she returned home, the photos triggered a series of linoleum block prints.
Free and open to the public, the exhibit is sponsored by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, the Arts Council for Sullivan County. Alliance Gallery is located at 37 Main St. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit www.ArtsAllianceSite.org.

The Religious Value of Rest and Leisure
We are immersed in responsibilities and commitments to work, family, community, society, and the world. I do believe that a primary purpose for human existence is to toil, work, and serve. The value of work is expressed throughout Jewish sources: "Great is work because even Adam did not taste food until he had performed work" (Avot d'Rebbe Natan, ch. 11). But we might ask: is there a religious value to rest and leisure?
Leisure was once a high priority in America. Those who grew up in the period after 1945 experienced a world of increasing leisure time, usually with a husband making the income and a stay-at-home-mom taking care of the home and children. This trend peaked in 1969, when the U.S. Labor Department's American Time Use Survey recorded the most leisure time. Since then, there has been a marked trend toward less leisure time, as this Harris Poll Table indicates:
Year Average Weekly Leisure Time (Hours)
By 2000, abc News noted that "Not only are Americans working longer hours than at any time since statistics have been kept, but now they are also working longer than anyone else in the industrialized world." Since then, some studies have contended that Americans have more leisure time than ever, or work less than people in industrializing countries. However, these studies often use faulty methodology, such as assuming that today it takes less time to do housework, errands, and other tasks, so therefore there is more leisure time. This ignores the additional tasks that have been added to modern housework as a result of living in larger homes with more devices and furniture, a longer commute, and an obligation to check text messages and emails from work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even on vacation. Indeed, many Americans do not even take their full amount of vacation days (already much fewer than for European workers) annually for fear that they might lose the "competitive edge."
Regardless of the causes of this trend, there is a consensus that working long hours of overtime is deleterious to one's health. Studies based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Psychological Association, and peer-reviewed journals reveal that workers with the most overtime had:
Conversely, companies that try to balance work and life reap rewards; their employees demonstrate greater innovation, creativity, and productivity, and make fewer mistakes. In short, physical and psychological health is enhanced by leisure time.
Thus, one might suggest that rest is not only for Shabbat (naturally its highest actualization) but is also an ongoing necessity of great religious value. The great 18th-century Rabbi Baruch Epstein argued this point:
Rav Epstein taught that rest was not only necessary to prepare to properly fulfill important religious duties (heksher mitzvah), but that it is a mitzvah itself. Some in education today have actually embraced the value of rest and leisure through curricula based on "leisure education." Professor John Dattilo explains:
From a Jewish perspective, we tend to value mindful rest more than mindless rest. Taking a break does not mean the primary value is to turn off one's own core unique human faculties but the opposite. Mindful rest, where we engage our mind, heart, and soul in different and meaningful ways from the norm, is not only more effective to recharge, it also ensures that our rest helps promote self-actualization. We must never sanction laziness but rather work to elevate all aspects of human experience including our time of leisure.
Maimonides teaches the importance of engaging pleasures that do not just feel good but strengthen us toward our core goals.
The Torah's promise of Shabbat is a subversive revolution reminding us that as important as work is in our lives, holy rest is in a sense the highest aim. Rest does not merely mean fun, but elevated leisure. Our character can best be assessed by how we choose to use our free time. Does it elevate ourselves and those around us? Does it give us more energy, ideas, and positivity? Do we leave more passionate and committed to our core life goals? Does it broaden our sense of the possible? Does it bring us closer to our loved ones?
The "Mirrer Mashgiach" (Rav Levovitz) taught that Noach's name comes from menuchah (rest), since he was a person concerned with the comfort of the people of his generation. Embracing menuchah for ourselves and enabling it for others is an act of emulating the Divine since G-d created rest and personally enacted it (Genesis 2:2). What is the nature of this rest? The Shabbat minchah prayer describes the Jewish notion of rest in the following way: "A rest of love and magnanimity, a rest of truth and faith, a rest of peace and serenity and tranquility and security, a perfect rest in which You find favor." Rest is about achieving the deepest of virtues when we are relaxed and focused enough to internalize their truths.
We are created to work, to change the world for good. But we must not dismiss the religious and ethical value of rest and leisure for through its responsible actualization, we can truly learn to live fully in emulation of our Creator.

Have to find a way to generate from stranded power plants: P Chidambaram
"The urgent part is that the stranded power plants must be allowed to or (we) have to find a way to produce power," he told PTI in an interview.
Quoting reports, he said 8,000 MW capacity is stranded for want of gas and 12,000 MW capacity for want of coal.
"If you can get this 20,000 MW up and running, it equals to one year's target," Chidambaram said.
He said if the government is able to achieve its 12th Plan period (2012-17) target of 88,000 MW it would be a step in the right direction.
"Our aim is that the target for the (12th) Plan period and the year after are achieved. If we are able to create a capacity for every year as planned and bring it on stream that itself would be a major achievement," he added.
The Finance Minister said the government should aim at achieving the 88,000 MW target for the current plan period.
"In the last plan period (2007-12) we achieved under 60,000 MW, this period we have set ourselves a target of 88,000 MW, we have to achieve that...
"...in the first year, private sector seem to have brought some capacity on stream, NTPC seems to have got some capacity on stream, we must ensure that it (capacity) comes," he said.
The minister assured the government is making all efforts to address the issues of coal and gas shortage.
The Coal Ministry had earlier said it expects power utilities to sign FSAs (Fuel Supply Agreement) with state-run Coal India by November-end.
"The attempt now is to get the FSAs signed for coal or 'tapering linkage' is provided to the plants. We are pushing that," he said.
Tapering Linkage is the short-term linkage provided to those coal consumers who have been allocated captive coal blocks for meeting the coal requirements of their end use plants where the production of coal does not meet the requirement.
On gas, he said, "We are pushing for more production of gas but that is a little more complicated problem. Once the gas comes we want the 8,000 MW which is stranded, producing power using gas," Chidambaram added.

Further addressing UWM enrollment management
UWM Report, February 2014
One of the most important segments of my Plenary Address last month concerned the new Chancellor's Council on Enrollment Management, and I wanted to provide you with more details.
This got started, as you might recall, in my fall 2012 Plenary Address when I said that dwindling UWM student enrollment in the face of decreasing Wisconsin residents of traditional college age was our greatest challenge.
The situation had not improved by fall 2013, when we reported our third consecutive year of fewer new freshmen. The financial consequences of falling enrollment are significant, as we estimated that 1,000 fewer students equated to about $11 million in reduced tuition and fees to our campus.
It was clear that even though useful steps had been taken by UWM administrators and staff during the 2012-13 academic year to reverse the enrollment trend, more was needed. So, in fall 2013, I assigned Mark Mone, chancellor's designee for strategic planning and campus climate, and Barbara Daley, interim dean of the School of Education, to coordinate a review of enrollment polices, procedures and approaches at UWM.
In January they returned a report to me, and a few days later I put in place the top recommendation of establishing the Chancellor's Council on Enrollment Management. That recommendation was based on a review of our enrollment management by Angela Udelhofen, assistant chancellor for admission at UW-Platteville, and Darin Wohlgemuth, director of enrollment research at Iowa State University. Both universities have had positive enrollment trends despite demographic challenges similar to those at UWM.
The council will ensure that we are following best enrollment practices by seamlessly integrating the diverse efforts of the divisions of Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, and University Relations and Communications.
I will lead the council's Steering Committee and will be joined by Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Johannes Britz, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Michael Laliberte, Vice Chancellor for University Relations and Communications Tom Luljak and five academic deans: Marija Gajdardziska-Josifovska, Graduate School; Bob Greenstreet, Architecture & Urban Planning; Sally Lundeen, Nursing; Tim Smunt, Business; and Rodney Swain, Letters & Science.
The Steering Committee will, in turn, develop the structure, roles, responsibilities and membership for the larger Strategic Enrollment Management Council that will include faculty and staff, and include campus governance members.
Several crosscutting task forces will be created to coordinate enrollment, marketing, recruitment and other activities for undergraduate, graduate, international and online students. We will also clearly articulate leadership and accountability in each of these task forces.
I want to close with a challenge and an invitation.
The challenge is to reverse established perceptions of student enrollment responsibilities. Looking over the consultants' report, one UWM individual's statement really stood out. Asked by the consultants about a certain aspect of enrollment management, one of our staff members said, "That part of enrollment is someone else's job. I DON'T TOUCH THAT."
We must reverse that perception. Enrollment management is EVERYONE'S responsibility.
The invitation is to every member of the faculty and staff who embraces my enrollment challenge: During the coming months, convince one individual to enroll at UWM. We can all do this. I'm working on it, too. I met a high school senior at a holiday gathering who expressed interest in computer science programs at other Wisconsin schools. I'm working to convince him of the strength of UWM's computer science program, and hope to confirm his campus visit to UWM in the coming days.
If you are successful in recruiting a student, I want to know about it. Send me an email at email@example.com. At the end of this semester, I'm going to host a reception either in my office or at the residence to celebrate successful faculty and staff recruiters.
If every one of our 5,000 faculty and staff recruited one new student to UWM, we would eliminate all of our enrollment challenges.

Antena is a language justice and language experimentation collaborative founded in 2010 by Jen Hofer and John Pluecker, both of whom are writers, artists, literary translators, bookmakers and activist interpreters. From January 18 � May 10, 2014, Antena will be in residence at Blaffer, where they will inhabit various spaces of the museum to explore how critical views on language can help us to reimagine and rearticulate the worlds we live in. url: http://www.blafferartmuseum.org/antena-at-blaffer-antena-en-blaffer/
The telenovela is one of the most popular products of Latin America. It is a format that exploits the world market through the articulation and preservation of cultural difference, and at the same time serves as a powerful tool of self-representation and the re-signification of the continent�s colonial legacy. soy mi madre (2008) by Phil Collins and Crying for the March of Humanity (2012) by Christian Jankowski both employ the format of the telenovela for critical purposes that draw on the aesthetics of the melodrama to talk about issues of immigration, class and race, and the relationship between arts, media and politics.
The Voter Registration Drives will occur on Mar. 4th, 2014 from 10am-2pm at the UC Satellite and on Mar. 5th, 2014 from 10am-2pm at Butler Plaza. Please encourage anyone you may know, who would like to volunteer, and help us with registering as many students as possible. Encourage those that would like to help that if they are deputized, they are even more needed, and should not feel obligated to stay the whole 4 hr. shift either or both days but, can com e for an hour or two if possible. However long anyone would like to volunteer (deputized or not), please inform them that we need their support and volunteerism efforts on the day these drives are taken place. They can contact Bria Riley at: firstname.lastname@example.com or Ben Hanna at: email@example.com so that we can add them to the volunteer list and confirm with them any details they may need from us. If they are not deputized, still encourage them to join us, they can assist in other ways. Thanks again from SGA!

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Conchas Dam, in conjunction with the Arch Hurley Conservancy District, released irrigation water Tuesday. The water will flow in canals throughout Quay County and the Tucumcari area, according to Joe Martinez, a corps of engineers maintenance work leader.
"We released 200 cubic feet of water per second," Martinez said.
J.J. Pacheco of the Arch Hurley Conservancy District said water in the canals should run about 8 to 10 feet high.
"We just want to let people know that they need to keep their children away from the canals," Pacheco said. "Farmers should be able to access the water in one to two weeks."

A few months ago, my friend landed a sweet gig at a well-known magazine through Twitter. It turns out the Editor-in-Chief of a popular magazine DM'd (direct messaged) her about an opportunity and within a month she was hired and onboarded. My last two positions were thanks to people in my extended network who reached out to me via LinkedIn and Facebook, respectively. The evidence isn't just coming from my collection of personal anecdotes: this year, Jobvite did a study and found that 94% of companies surveyed used or planned to use social media as part of their recruitment strategy. In the HR and recruitment space, Social Recruiting can no longer be ignored.
It seems that one of the biggest hiring trends of 2013 is Social Recruiting. You hear it everywhere. But what is it exactly?
Also called Social Hiring, Social Recruitment, and Social Media Recruitment (etc., etc.), Social Recruiting is a sort of catch-all phrase that refers to the process of sourcing and hiring candidates through social media platforms, and/or using social media platforms to advertise their open positions.
Whether you reach out to a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree connection via a personal or corporate social media account, advertise open positions on social media networks, or use social recruiting software (as an add-on to an applicant tracking system or as a standalone tool), it's all considered Social Recruiting.
There are many advantages to hiring via social media including:
- Access to passive candidates, which some argue are better hires that active job-seekers.
- Reaching a broader range of talent than you normally would through traditional channels.
- Ability to source talent with very specific, or "niche" skillsets.
- Lower churn – In the same study from Jobvite, almost half of social recruiting hires remained in their positions for over three years.
- Shorter time-to-hire. With quick access to quality candidates, on platforms where engagement is inherent, not to mention the ability to skip a few steps in the early stages of the hiring process, those who use Social Recruiting often experience a shorter time to hire.
- Smaller cost-to-hire. For the reasons above, is also significantly reduced.
With all of these benefits, it's understandable to see why Social Recruiting is quickly becoming a critical part of the hiring strategy of organizations both big and small.

Discovery: The First Recordings
On the funky side of things is the Grover Washington Jr. compilation Discovery (Prestige PRCD-11020-2; 69:09). The late tenor-sax great originally recorded these tracks between 1970 and 1971 in his first commercial recording sessions as a sideman for producer Bob Porter and Prestige Records. The seven dates that Grover participated in during that time span were led by organists Charles Earland, Leon Spencer and Johnny "Hammond" Smith and guitarists "Boogaloo" Joe Jones and Melvin Sparks. The 27-year-old saxophonist definitely makes his presence felt on the nine tracks here with his big, rich tone and aggressive horn attack. Organ-ically speaking, the sadly underrecognized sideman Butch Cornell makes the most impressive showing here on the B-3, turning in dynamite performances on a funky "Sunshine Alley," the funky boogaloo "Inside Job" and an earthy instrumental take on Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move," and he testifies with unbridled passion on the slow churchy blues "Fadin'." But it's the Mighty Burner, Earland, who has the final say on this collection with his show-stopping extended jam on Benny Golson's "Killer Joe," recorded live at the Key Club in Newark, N.J., for the Living Black! album (Washington's first Prestige date). Compilation producer Todd Barkan was wise to put that track last. Because, as B-3 maven Bob Porter so often (and rightly) points out, "Nobody follows the Mighty Burner." Amen.

RUSH: Okay, now, ladies and gentlemen, everybody agrees. They might not all say it, but everybody now agrees that even with the sequester, the government is going to be spending more money. You heard Jonathan Karl of ABC News admit that even with the sequester, the government will spend $15 billion more this year than last. Now, $15 billion when compared to $3,700 billion is chump change.
But we're still going to be spending $3,700 billion this year! We're gonna be spending more this year than next, and even with sequester now, people are admitting it. But here's the AP's contribution to the sequester story today, and it's all wrapped up in their headline: "Government Downsizes Amid Republican Demands for Even More Cuts." The government isn't downsizing! The Republicans are demanding more cuts. At some point we're gonna have to.
If we don't, we are gonna become Greece. If we don't downsize and seriously do so, then all these dire predictions that you're hearing today are gonna become a fact of life every day. Right now we still have a choice. The longer we go, the less choice that we're gonna have, and eventually all of this fearmongering is going to manifest itself as reality. Do you know all we would have to do to get started on this? We don't even have to talk about real cuts.
All we have to do is stay level. If we could just freeze the federal budget for five years, that would be such a profound start on fixing the problem. Do you remember hearing the Democrats talking about how great the economy was during the Clinton years? The reason they do that is because the Clinton years featured tax increases on the rich, and the Democrats love to run around and talk about the boom economy of the nineties, and they try to relate it to Clinton's tax increases.
Okay, fine and dandy.
They're wrong, but fine and dandy.
But then say, "Well, why don't we also return to Clinton-era spending levels?"
"Oh, no, no, no! We can't do that!"
RUSH: "Why not? If we had a booming economy during the Clinton years with government spending what it was back then, why can't we go back to that and still have a booming economy?"
"Oh, no, no, no! No! No, no, no. You can't do that."
I remember I was on Charlie Rose one night back when I used to be invited on that show. I lived in New York. I remember I was on one night with some of Clinton's guys, Roger Altman and Tony Coelho, and couple other guys. All Democrats. I was the only conservative. I had just read and talked to some think tank budget people, and they had explained to me how a five-year budget freeze, factoring inflation... You let the government grow at the inflation rate every year, but that's it.
Back then, this was in the nineties, it was said that we could balance the budget in five years doing that. So I threw that out. They said, "Oh, no, no, no, no! Who's telling you that? See, this is why, Charlie, you can't let people that don't know what they're talking about on your show, Charlie! I mean, that's just a talk show host. That's absurd! I've never heard anything so absurd." They were all nervous as hell when I mentioned it, and they were nervous as hell rejecting it.
But you go talk to anyone. Call someone at the Heritage Foundation and you ask them. A five-year, maybe seven now, freeze. But just freeze the budget every year, and allow for increases every year equal to inflation so that there aren't any cuts. There's no Social Security cuts. There are no Medicare cuts. No nothing. You'd be amazed at how quickly we could start to turn things around. I think it's a little worse now, obviously, than it was then, back in the nineties.
That would have been a relatively painless way to go about this. It was sensible, but, boy, it just didn't fit the political template of the Democrat Party. You just don't do that. "What? Freeze the budget? No new spending? Why, that's absurd! Government can't function without new spending." But it could. If we get by every year with what we're spending, then don't spend any more except for inflation...
How many families in this country have to live on the same amount of income every year? We know that not very many people are getting raises, and the raises they're getting are not very big. They manage. They've got no choice. They can't go print money. Most of them can't borrow any. They're maxed out on the credit cards, anyway. It can be done. But not when we're talking about government. They can't! "No, no, no, no. No! We can't do with less. We can't even do with the same!
"We have to have 10% more every year. We can't get by with any less," and the proof is this: With the sequester, we're going to spend $15 billion more than we did last year, and we have these forecasts of abject destruction, the end of the world. So the AP contribution is: "Government Downsizes Amid Republican Demands for Even More Cuts." Now, this takes the cake for sheer mendacity because the AP is try to confuse either the low-information voters or the ADD voters.
They're claiming the government has already shrunk even before the sequester, and it hasn't.
Of course, at the AP there's no shame.
They lie, they misrepresent -- and if they don't know, when they are informed how wrong they are, it doesn't matter. They don't care.
