text: Hey guys new on here this is the first forum that i have been part of. I have a question about towing and wanted to see if anyone else has had the same problems that i am having with my truck. I have a 2008 chevy silverado regular cab with the 4.8l v8 and i am having a problem when i tow my boat. Now this isnt a big bay boat or anything its a 16' aluminum jon boat that might weigh 1600 lbs at the most. i have noticed that when i am crusing at 70mph at about 1800rpms the truck will down shift and the rpms shoots up to 3000 rpms and this is on flat highways around the houston texas area. i have also noticed that the transmition temp goes from about 165°f to around 195°f. Is this a major problem? When i bought the truck i didnt get the towing package could this be why i am having trouble also? and the truck does the same thing when it is empty going through the texas hill country. Thanks in advance

text: Thanks to everyone here. My 2002 Suburban 2500 (From the NJ State Police Auction) I bought as noted with a "bad transmission" and I had it towed to a reputable trans shop. Installed a 850CCA truck battery (as the old one was VERY dead) and fixed a power steering leak on the cooling coil. And Guess What! just as you guys said, my truck shifts fine. Now they are putting new brakes in the truck, rotors and pad (Delco Rotors, and Bendix Pads), and then off to the radio shop for a new fancy radio with BlueTooth and Ipod hookups, and we will be ready to rock and roll. I'm REALLY in the market for a good interior, and would appreciate any leads on either a Denali XL or Escalade ESV interior that would fit in my 2002, with heated seats. Any leads I'd really appreciate it. I figure that will cost me about $800. But I truly wanted to thank everyone here in helping me understand what the truck needs. Thanks again. Stephen

Story highlights
- CDC: Spreading Ebola on a plane is "very unlikely"
- Ebola virus spreads through direct contact with blood, secretions or body fluids
- Man with Ebola symptoms collapsed after deplaning in Nigeria
- Patients with Ebola not likely to be traveling, because symptoms are very severe
Deadly diseases like Ebola are only a plane ride away. In today's interconnected world, linked by transoceanic flights, one infected person can trigger a domino effect that pays no attention to borders.
"The concern that people are going to get on these flights and fly from West Africa, where these cases are, to anywhere in the world is ... a real possibility," said Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent.
"I think for a long time people didn't think that that was going to happen because Ebola was sort of relegated to very remote areas of Africa. Things have changed with our globalized world."
Ebola patient on West African flights
Earlier this month, a Liberian government official who had Ebola symptoms collapsed after getting off his flight in Lagos, Nigeria on July 20. Patrick Sawyer, 40, died five days later. He had been taking care care of his Ebola-stricken sister, in Liberia, although he didn't know she had the disease, his wife told CNN.
Health workers identified 59 people who came in contact with him including 15 in the airport staff and 44 from the hospital. He had traveled by plane via Lomé, Togo and Accra, Ghana. His case sparked concerns that the virus could disperse through air travel.
At this point, the World Health Organization does not recommend any travel or trade restrictions on Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone. However, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued warnings Thursday to avoid nonessential travel to the three West African countries.
The WHO, the International Civil Aviation Organzation and the International Air Transport Association have been coordinating efforts to fight the spread of the disease. According to an ICAO statement, they are considering passenger screenings: "The Organization remains in contact with the WHO on potential efforts which may be required to facilitate repatriation flights, as well as matters relating to air ambulance services in the affected areas."
Can plane passengers become infected?
While the CDC acknowledges it's possible a person infected with Ebola in West Africa could get on a plane and arrive in another country like the United States, the chances of the virus spreading during the journey are low.
"It's very unlikely that they would be able to spread the disease to fellow passengers," said Stephen Monroe, deputy director of CDC's National Center for Emerging Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases. "The Ebola virus spreads through direct contact with the blood, secretions, or other body fluids of ill people, and indirect contact -- for example with needles and other things that may be contaminated with these fluids."
He added that most people who have become infected with Ebola lived with or cared for an ill patient.
"This is not an airborne transmission," said Dr. Marty Cetron, director of CDC's Division of Global Migration and Quarantine. "There needs to be direct contact frequently with body fluids or blood."
Travelers should take precautions by avoiding areas experiencing outbreaks and avoid contact with Ebola patients.
Ebola symptoms include fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat; followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function, and at advanced stage, both internal and external bleeding, according to the WHO.
"It is highly unlikely that someone suffering such symptoms would feel well enough to travel," IATA said in a statement.
"In the rare event that a person infected with the Ebola virus was unknowingly transported by air, WHO advises that the risks to other passengers are low. Nonetheless, WHO does advise public health authorities to carry out contact tracing in such instances."
This means determining who had contact with the affected person.
What should flight crew do if Ebola infection is suspected?
"As with many other global infectious disease outbreaks, airline carriers, crew members, airports can be very important partners in that front line," said Cetron. "Being educated, knowing the symptoms, recognizing what to do, having a response protocol, knowing who to call, those are really, really important parts of the global containment strategy to deal with threats like this."
The CDC advises that when flight crew members encounter a passenger with symptoms that they suspect could be Ebola, such as fever and bleeding, that they keep the sick person away from other passengers. They've been instructed to wear disposable gloves and to provide the sickened person with a surgical mask to prevent fluids from spreading through talking, sneezing or coughing.
The airline cleaning crew are also instructed to wear disposable gloves, wipe down surfaces including armrests, seat backs, trays and light switches. The CDC says that packages and cargo should not pose a risk, unless the items have been soiled with blood or bodily fluids.
When someone becomes ill on a flight, the captain is required by aviation regulations to report the suspected case to air traffic control, according to IATA.
How it's affecting flights
Nigeria-based airline companies ASKY and Arik Air suspended operations at the end of July into Monrovia and Freetown, the capitals of Liberia and Sierra Leone, respectively. ASKY said passengers departing from Conakry, Guinea, would be screened for signs of the virus.
Most of the international flights from Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia have flights to other West African destinations like Senegal, Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire. There are several flights a week to Belgium, France and the United Kingdom too, according to data from Flightstats.com.
Passengers could get anywhere through connecting flights.
The UK Department of Health said in a statement that it is monitoring Ebola, but that the risk is still low for British citizens. "We do not, at the moment, think this is an issue that affects the UK directly," said Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, who held a high-level meeting about the disease on Wednesday.

Tomorrow is Ella's kindergarten graduation celebration. Among other things like learning how to read and write, she has been practicing endlessly on a dance to It's Time for Africa (aka Waka Waka! ha). Her entire class will be preforming it on stage. She can't wait to show us. Grandpa and Grandma are even out here. Only problem is: she was sick alllll day today. I kept her home from school for a quick recovery. I'm hoping she's better tomorrow! Cheer for her! Or donate money to the kids missing their kindergarden graduation celebration fund. I'm sure there's one somewhere. Find it and then donate.

Statements that were made which I wanted to substantiate about widespread substantial losses.
Printable View
Statements that were made which I wanted to substantiate about widespread substantial losses.
understood, thanks mark.
One thing we all need to do is not only treat for mites but TEST! what were the levels of mite what are the levels. With most of these new products out there the weather and brood plays such a big part.
MITES are NOT the problem, get over it!!!!!!! When will some of you realize that pesticides are causing these problemes. The challenge comes in the forums of chemicals that are being used, they effect the bee hive, a biological unit , at the core of its operation in a way we do not understand yet! And it is different than a spray kill of yester year, That is a products sprayed and you have thousands of dead bees within a 24 to 48 hours period on the ground in front of the hive.
I personally have beene drastictly effected by growth regulators that were sprayed to kill grasshoppers, hives full of honey, capped brood and no bees, & no mites in the dead brood!!!!!. Thats from the Idaho area. From North dakota we have extracted many drums of honey from the dead outs, solid frames of capped honey in singles, hives dead by 1 st week in Oct, yet they are plugged full of sunflower honey, which bloomed in late august, so there had to be bees to make the honey, again no mites in dead brood!!!!!
In years past we have found mites in the dead hives , not this year.
Prior to repsonding , please take a deep breath and as my friend the research scientist that test crop chemicals & pestides for the major companies told me last week, Something bigger is happening here and we have not figured out how to see it.
My main suspect is the sygergistic reactions of the many diferent chemicals in the hives, as we all know the hive is a big sponge and the bees collect everything in the area. What the triggeres are, do not know, but I have seen the results this year.
The other wired thing is that I am see tones of wax moths , that we have not seen for years. They are growing in all dead outs from CA, ID & ND. This is conffusing to me.
Easy LSPender. We can hear you. That's what I have been hearing too, but confirmation has been sketchy I believe.
Well no doubt grasshopper spraying is a problem.....where it occurs. As are mites when they aren't controlled. Grasshopper spraying primarily occurs in the grasslands of the west where they breed in ground that is undisturbed by farming. I saw a little of it myself this summer, fortunately it was early enough in the season that the bees had time to recover. however some of these reports are in areas that are heavily farmed and in those cases there is suspicion of fungicides and other farm chemicals. I have no idea what the cause or causes might be in each case only that "all the usual suspects" need to be considered and certainly varroa has a pretty long rap sheet.
for example-
one yard all with hives started late with one single frame of brood and new queen. ALL equipment totally brand new.
By August these are all thriving doubles with new comb. Mite free and treated.
then the brood that is found while we are extracting is put on these hives daily, one box at a time as needed. meaning a few boxes a day.
using these hives as an incubator for the brood to hatch out of the comb and give the hives some extra population at the same time.
after some time passes and the brood hatches and i went to take the boxes off and what do i find.
now i realize what i was doing was taking a spoon full of mites and putting them in the hive.
4 good hives left in the whole yard???
moral of the story is that something came with that brood and destroyed the hives.
and that something was the varroa mite.
these characteristics held true through out our operation this fall.
Just as Lpender said. boxes and boxes plugged with honey, must have been lots of bees at some point.
My first encounters with varroa years ago was pretty much what you describe, lots of bees mid summer but by fall you end up with a whole bunch of honey and a few hundred bees. Of course that's a pretty easy diagnosis as the bottom boards will be red with dead mites. On the other hand if there are lots of dead bees in the entrance it could well be a mite vectored virus though if mite counts are low and there are "crawlers" I would be looking at other potential causes. In any case one should always first eliminate varroa as the cause before looking elsewhere. It continues to be the worst and, with the exception of afb, the most easily diagnosed. Lets just remember, though, bees are in lots and lots of different conditions under many varied management scenarios. There is almost certainly no "one size fits all" solution.
Yes I do agree pesticides is a problem. Pesticides used outside the hive, pesticides used inside the hive. Their residues surely are having the effect on the health of our hives. One part of the puzzle.
The other part of the puzzle is colony diseases, varroa, nosema, all the 7 different viral infections they can get, afb
I believe, as many others do, that it is the drag down in colony health from external AND internal exposure which allow these diseases to thrive.
But all this stuff is getting boring right,.? It has been said again and again, no one person to blame, yet the problem still exists and our bees are not performing as they once did.
So lets blame the farmers!!! lets blame the chemical companies!!! lets string them up and get some justice here!!! Our bees are dying! Science isnt giving us a clear answer! Lets make our own answer!!!
The thing about pesticide exposure is its effect on the organism does not discriminate. But I believe the reason why we are seeing so much variation between exposures is the interaction between the diseases present in the hive.
Viral infections especially, but we know very little about these diseases to be able to comment on them,...
But we know alot about Nosema and its effect on bees. But lets look past the worker bees and look at the queen herself. when she gets sick she takes the colony down.
I notice as does most other beekeepers that queens younger than 1 years of age performs better than queens older than 2 years of age. It never use to be that way. 2 year old queens use to be in their prime. I seriously believe nosema has alot to do with this.
Why not ask the question from a new perspective about nosema, why do we assume it is starting from inside our operations, what about asking the questions from the persective of the outside environment? Is something outside the hive enhancing the nosema levels?
We asked why 0%? What is different all of a sudden? Dave said that the queen producers are "feeding the snot out of them with fumagillin".
If there is truth to the report that fumagillin use increases nosema spore production and the idea that healthy gut microbes are a key to honeybee health then ?????
Maybe "outside" the environment is actually "inside"?
Seems to me that this is all the more reason to use foundationless / comb guide, recycle combs out at some 2 or 3 year intervals, and rear your own queens from your "proven" hives.
I have had problems with finding dead hives through out the year, no apparent reason why the colony fails. Finding broodless hives in spring, finding broodless hive under 5 boxes, finding broodless hives in fall. Die outs. no rime nor rhythm.
Why? the queen just shuts down. The hive doesnt replace her, why?
more and more Im suspecting Nosema for this.
last spring we received one of our batchs of queens from Hawaii that were absolute failures. And if the hive accepted them, they did not lay. Guess what, nosema was the culprit.
you suggest to look outside the hive, absolutely. Everything outside the hive influences what happens inside the hive. But what Im hearing is blame being singled out. If there were proof for that blame at least we would have something to act on.
you know that she is a witch, she acts like a witch, she looks like a witch, but you cant prove that she is a witch,
so you kill the witch to stop her from doing witch things.
the only problem is that there is no such things as witches
LSPender, I totally agree with this. This summer a saw a few bees, here and there, with deformed wings in a hive or 2 of mine. My understanding is that there is a varroa presence then but the effects were minimal for me. I've requeened over half of my hives with VSH queens. I don't treat but did put in some beetle blaster traps after seeing more beetles than usual in my hives. In the last 6 weeks I've gone from 20 hives down to 12 (lost 2 or 3 of my strongest and oldest hives). The lost hives have either no bees at all inside or very few dead in a cluster. Some totally loaded with frames of capped honey and some with no food, no brood, but feed in the hive top feeder above. I keep my bees at 2 locations, both are organic veggie farms. Who knows what the neighboring farms do. Its really saddening.
Checked a few hives yesterday. They looked good. Some were clustered pretty tight. Others were open and the temperatures of the inner covers suggested there was still some brood rearing going on. The season was generally poor but I spent a small fortune on pollen ptties and plenty of syrup.Treated for nosema but I have not done a spore count recently. Low varroa levels, but they were treated in the fall with thymol. We also changed all our queens this season with our home grown queens.
So far I would have to say I am pleased with my bees.
If my interpretation is correct, then I believe youve found yourself in the wrong place. There is a support group for this sort of denial on Beesource. It is called the Treatment Free Forum.
Good luck.
Its even sadder that you only see one possible reason for losses of bees. Are you employed by monsanto or bayer? Get real man, mites are not the only reason my hives died. OK, I'll give you a hive or 2 at the most but 8 hives in 6 weeks? And most had not a single dead bee inside? Wake up. You're the one in denial.
Early fall when brood production slows/ends is the time when varroa damage reaches its peak. The bigger and older the colony, the harder and faster they collapse. I am not going to argue this with you. I will only say that without knowing the level of varroa infestation in your hives, to insist that their collapse wasnt varroa related is denial.

Penguin Prison: The Man With All the Answers
In so many more ways than can be classified, NYC"s own Penguin Prison, aka Chris Glover, legitimately has come through with all the correct responses. Let's see, he's generated a number of solo cuts that fulfill every wanting need for smart and sophisticated pop tunes. He's also remixed the hell out of tracks that already have a loving home in nearly every blogger and music lovers' heart.
Additionally, he's literally got all the right answers when it comes to doing a brief Beaston interview. With his debut NYC performance coming up this Thursday, April 8 at Mercury Lounge (tickets here), what better way to get ready to rock than by picking the dude's brain.
Let's do it!
SB: What's the story/meaning behind the name Penguin Prison?
CG: A few years ago I made a funny rap song with my friend Bob, aka Discombobulated, where we were just freestyling about George W. Bush. At one point in the song Bob said "He's a penguin vision, he went to the penguin prison and assumed a penguin position." I thought that was a very ridiculous and funny line and remembered it a few years later when I was trying to decide on a name for the new project I was working on. Does that make any sense? Not sure but it is the truth!
SB: Aside from the word "pop", choose one word to describe your sound. Feel free to elaborate on why you chose that one word.
CG: Money. I want my music to sound like money. I also have 2 songs that are going to be on my album that are about money and they just happen to be my two favorite songs. One is called Don't Fuck With My Money and the other is called Multi-Millionaire.
SB: Are there any specific artists or albums that helped shape your sound?
CG: A lot of things have gone into my music but some of the main influences are Talking Heads, Nirvana, Wu-Tang Clan, Hot Chip, Radiohead and many more. I am honestly inspired a lot by people I am friends with that make music like Holy Ghost!, White Williams, Girl Talk and other people.
SB: Do you have any plans for videos for the singles you've already let out?
CG: Yes. There will be a video for Something I'm Not coming out very soon if it is not out already. It was filmed using Skype. The director, Roman, was in London and set up a camera and videotaped me on Skype while I was in NYC. Then he took the footage of me and added effects to it. It looks very good to me. I would like to make more videos in the
future of course.
SB: If you could collaborate with any one artist, whether it be on a track together, or you remixing something, who would it be, what song, and why?
CG: I would have liked to make a new song together with Michael Jackson but now that can't happen. I would also like to make a song with Prince. I think my favorite song of his is either Kiss or I Wanna Be Your Lover but I am not sure. It could be another song since he has so many I like.

Meet Our Students: Travis Dumais: Budding Neuroscientist and Researcher
Class: Sophomore
Major: Psychology
Minor: Neuroscience
Sophomore Travis Dumais is "a brilliant kid," "an extraordinary student," one who is "curious about everything" and "able to absorb information at unbelievable speeds and problem-solve even faster," according to RIC faculty and administrators.
His major is psychology, with a minor in neuroscience, which is why it's hard to imagine that back in North Smithfield High School his single aspiration was to become a rock star. He said he would forego homework to hold jam sessions in the basement. "I was trying to be Jimmy Page, basically," he said. "But I'm going to sell all my music stuff. Do you know anyone who wants to buy an amplifier and four guitars?"
Dumais is also an avid reader, writer, jogger, meditator, photographer and self-proclaimed stand-up comedian, which he makes use of in his part-time job as campus tour guide for the Office of Admissions. "I like to make people laugh. I've been known to go in my backyard in my underwear, wielding a fake sword, pretending to be a Jedi Knight."
And of course, he is a budding neuroscientist and researcher, but he prefers to keep it simple when describing what he does. "Neuroscience," he said, "is figuring out the function of each part of the brain and how to repair the parts when they're broken. The part of the brain I'm most interested in is the part that allows you to sense other people's emotions. There are people who have reduced functioning in that area of the brain, such as people with autism. I'm interested in researching ways to treat this."
This summer, he asked to join the research fellowship team led by Steven Threlkeld, assistant professor of psychology, to study the effects of a protein to treat brain injuries in infants. He is also working on an independent honors thesis with mentor David Sugarman, professor of psychology, focused on morality and religion.
"My thoughts are usually going a mile a minute, and I tend to skip around from one thing to the next," said Dumais. "Dr. Sugarman's patience is unparalleled. Dave would direct me in subtle ways each week until I finally narrowed down my topic and arrived where I needed to be. I learn more in an hour talking with Dave than a lot of people learn in one year just living their lives."
Through Threlkeld, Dumais said he has learned a great deal about neuroscience and the scientific method. "I've held a brain in my hands for the first time, I attended a conference with hundreds of other students and presented my work, I helped discover a possible treatment for a brain injury that affects thousands of babies every year. Honestly, the thing I like most about RIC is the faculty. If it weren't for great professors like Steve and Dave, college would just be a bunch of fancy buildings and grass."
When asked what he is looking forward to in the future, Dumais said, "It would be very similar to what I'm doing now. I'd wake up and read and write about things that I think are cool and I'd be a part of an intellectually stimulating environment, like the environment I have here at RIC."

Bend councilors to choose mayor - for last time?
Some think post should be filled by voters
BEND, Ore. - Bend is on the forefront of tourism marketing, neighborhood planning and expanding education. But where it might be considered archaic by some is in one aspect of city leadership -- how the mayor is chosen.
Bend is by far Oregon's largest city where councilors, not voters, pick the mayor.
But that may change.
Three city councilors -- Mark Capell, Jodie Barram and Jim Clinton -- have thrown their hats in the ring to become the next mayor, a post still chosen by colleagues, not the voters.
As it turns out, Capell was the deciding no vote the last time the council looked at whether to ask voters if they want to elect a mayor. A citizen panel had reviewed the pros and cons and recommended leaving the current system in place.
Consequently, the city charter remained the way it is, having councilors appoint the mayor -- a largely ceremonial title, except for the role in leading council meetings.
"One of the advantages is you'll always have a mayor who's been on council so there isn't as steep a learning curve," Capell said Thursday. "One of the cons is, it's (the mayor) picked by council, so the public doesn't have a lot of say. And in the past, it's been done privately, a conversation between councilors."
The mayor has no more power than other councilors, except helping city staff set the meeting agendas, steering the council toward working together and meeting with prospective new businesses and dignitaries.
In 92 percent of Oregon cities, it's a voter-elected position, Bend, with about 78,000 residents, is the biggest city where it isn't in voters' hands. The next biggest is Baker City, a city of 9,800 people.
Capell, Barram and the longest-serving councilor, Clinton, all want the title.
Capell says he's the best man for the job because he has the business experience to attract new jobs to Bend and operates with a centrist political view.
Clinton touts his tenure on council and staunch opposition to the controversial, costly water improvement project as evidence he follows the mandate of the people.
Barram said she believes she's the best choice of the three, noting a Bulletin review of councilor voting records that showed Capell never cast a single no vote last year, while Clinton voted no more than any other colleague (many of those votes, but not all, in opposition to that controversial surface water plan).
She also pointed to election results, including the fact she ran unopposed for her position in 2010, a rarity "that I believe demonstrates my effectiveness at serving our community."
Clinton is also a loud voice for changing the city charter to vote for a mayor.
"To me, it's a basic tenet of democracy that the citizens get to choose who their leaders are," Clinton explained. "So we have kind of a quaint system. It has served Bend well in the past, but I think now the issues are complex enough to elect a mayor, but in that case, I do not seek additional power for the mayor."
Clinton says in the next year, he'll ramp up the discussion for another look at changing the city charter.
Barram says she would prefer a directly elected mayor as well, and would "still like to let the voters decide if that is what they want."
However, both Clinton and Capell, and first-term councilor Scott Ramsay, all say they'd like to keep the "strong city manager form" of government, instead of a more powerful or salaried mayor.
But the argument for Ramsay and Capell comes down to experience.
"The downside to having a mayor selected at large by citizens is we could end up with a mayor who's not been on council == and the learning curve in the first year is pretty steep," explains Capell.
But Clinton says it could be an easy fix. Just mandate that those mayoral candidates up for election have council experience, or if they're new, give them a six-month period to get adjusted before taking over the elected title.
For now, all agree the appointment process needs to be more transparent, with less secret campaigning to each other behind closed doors.
Clinton encourages the community to weigh in on who they would like for the position.
If indeed changing the city charter goes to a citywide vote, several councilors also would like their pay to be up for review.
They get $200 a month now, which several say is more of a paperwork hassle than it's worth.
Capell says either make it a volunteer position, or pay more money.

Wayne Law student among 9 in nation, only 1 from Michigan to win federal internship
DETROIT – Wayne State University Law School's Zachary Zurek is the only student from Michigan and one of only nine in the nation to win a summer law internship with the federal Bureau of Prisons.
The U.S. Department of Justice received 514 applications for the summer 2014 internships in Washington, D.C., said Myra Hedin, administrative officer with the General Counsel and Review Division of the Bureau of Prisons.
The paid internship is expected to give Zurek, a Clarkston resident and second-year law student, a competitive advantage when he applies for post-graduate judicial clerkships and the Department of Justice's Attorney General Honors Program, said Krystal Gardner, assistant dean of Career Services at Wayne Law.
Zurek heard about the opportunity during his internship in summer 2013 at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit. He thinks that summer's experience and his background working for the Michigan Department of Corrections helped him win the federal internship.
"In 2010, the summer before my senior year at Michigan State University, I started working for the MDOC in Lansing as a student assistant," Zurek said. "When I graduated in 2011, I continued to work for the MDOC. I worked primarily in an office, not in an actual prison facility. Most of my work involved assessing and screening sex offenders and/or violent offenders for programming. I worked for the MDOC for two years and three months, until August 2012, when I came to Wayne Law."
He chose Wayne for law school because of its reputation and its strong offerings for public-interest law.
"I was also interested in the idea of living and working in Detroit," he said. "I wanted to make real-life contributions as soon as possible, and the community in Detroit consistently ranks public safety as one of its top concerns. With the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office and the U.S. Attorney's Office minutes away (from the Wayne campus) downtown, I thought I would have a good chance of being able to help the community during law school."
Zurek praised Wayne Law's Career Services Office for helping him with the application and interview process that led to the federal internship.
"Career Services was instrumental in convincing me to sell myself during interviews," he said. "The application process for the Federal Bureau of Prisons consisted of two rounds of phone interviews. I think I did well because Krystal Gardner convinced me to write down all of my selling points prior to the interviews."
Zurkek, who is co-founder of Wayne Law's Criminal Law Society, a research assistant for Associate Professor Anthony Dillof and an associate editor of The Wayne Law Review, said he's interested in a career as a prosecutor, but he's considering other career options, as well.
"My two top goals now are to obtain a federal judicial clerkship and to get into the Attorney General's Honors Program," Zurek said. "I know these are both very competitive career paths, but I've had a great experience at Wayne and great luck so far, so I do not see any harm in setting the bar a little higher."

text: My problem (and probably that of many hobby beekeepers) is not having enough resources to set up mating nucs when I have successfully grafted queen cells. In a couple of days I will have 12 queen cells ready to be put in mating nucs. It will take 12 frames of open brood plus 12 frames of honey to make up 12 2 frame mating nucs. That is the equivalent of one entire thriving hive. So say instead I combine bees from different hives by shaking them into a box then put them into the nucs with the frame of honey and an empty frame of drawn comb,along with the queen cell, then keep them confined and fed for say 2 days in a shed, will they reorient when they are released in their new location or will they go back to their original hive? In other words how long does it take them to forget where they come from?

Barnaby's of Ridley is what an American bar and restaurant should be. It needs no gimmicks and pulls no punches. It's a place to gather over great food and drink, and where you always know what to expect – and the unexpected only makes it better.
Our Delaware County restaurant menu takes its cues from comforting tried and true favorites and unique dishes we must have again and again because there's just nothing else like it around.
Our cocktails are properly shaken and stirred, our ice cold draft beers continue to flow and the home town charm of this local Delaware County favorite speaks to Barnaby's approach and commitment to providing our guests with a place from which to hang their hat.

The May ABJ article on, among other things, bee exposure to pesticides written by Randy Oliver is a real "must read". Among his statements:
...."so long as we keep blatantly using illegal mite treatments, our pleas to regulators to crack down on misuse of agricultural pesticides by farmers are gutted from the get go-if we want to talk the talk, we gotta walk the walk. "
And this:
"I often hear it would be "impossible" to do without the illegal off-label treatments. The reality is that anything seems impossible until you just start doing it...........I tried managing my operation without synthetic miticides over a decade ago, and never felt the need to go back.......sice then we have tripled the size of our operation......and take strong colonies to the almonds each year"
And this in regards to the misuse of "off label" synthetic miticides:
"...beekeepers now have no excuse (for using them) with so many legal treatments for varroa"
Rock on Randy!!!!! Beekeepers have the tools available to raise strong hives that produce honey without the risk of chemical residues. Let's all work together to protect the wholesome image that honey still enjoys in the marketplace.

I think you're overstating it. That last vote should have been kraftster. He was the one with the least amount of evidence on his side. People seemed to think shaf could be red when he was seen blue, but people didn't think the same about Kraft.
Great game Pavel, and great job by the reds.
I just have to disagree. Two players weren't cleared - me and Relantel. One player was affiliated with a red and tried to save a red and was cleared way earlier in the game. Kraftster was cleared. I find it hard to believe why every one think Kraft was an obvious choice but wouldn't consider him when Redwill and I were pressing him earlier.

[quote user="SFranciscan"][quote user="jhamburg"][quote user="SFranciscan"][quote user="JMGGIANTS"]
thanks for the good luck but I have a problem with most of what you say.

Too bad about the breaks.* Didn't your team beat NO that way with 5 turnovers?* Didn't you win most of your games because of great turnover ration? Did you ever call for a replay of the last play in 2002 playoff game?* When Rich Seubert was mugged but no interference.

I view the fumble as a*great play by J. Williams.* Your guy didn't just fumble without being touched like Jerry Rice did one playoff game.* Williams knocked the ball out of his hands. Give some credit where credit due.
[/quote]
You know, I do hope the NFL reviews the supposed non-fumble just because it seemed to be a bad call and if that is the case, I hope the NFL does something to prevent such a bad call from being made in the future (maybe make it reviewable).* Even if the NFL does rule that that should have been called a fumble I am not going to get too upset because it was a tough play to call and not a blatant mistake by the refs.* What I am upset about was our backup punt returner and the poor judgement he showed.*
Williams mistakes were inexcusable.* The first big turnover was not even in any way attributable to the Giants.* That was 100% on Williams.* It cost us 7 points and the game.
Watch the footage on the overtime fumble that turned the ball over to the Giants in field goal range.* Williams is swinging the ball away from his body while running into coverage.* There is no excuse for that, especially for a team that has given up zero turnovers on special teams all year.* The ball did not pop out on its own, but Williams deserves most of the credit for that fumble.* If it were baseball, it would have earned him an error.*
Maybe the Jets can take him off our hands.* He's getting death threats in the Bay Area and considering he won the NFC Championship for New York, I think he might have a better time there.
What is your specific issue with the forward progress call? The only thing I've heard is that the whistle was "too quick" but I don't think the rulebook has a stipulation for a certain amount of time to pass. Do you disagree that his forward progress was stopped? (He was wrapped up and going backwards)[/quote]
I am hardly an expert, but I have read many who seem to think it was a questionable call, especially considering how they were calling the rest of the game.* I think the issue more or less is not so much the question as to whether or not it should have been called a fumble as the issue that based on the footage, Harbaugh thought it should have been called a fumble and he should have had the opportunity to challenge it.
Read the rule book. Watch the play. Understand.
Your butthurtness is practically busting through my computer screen.

As I was getting my oil changed at the Honda dealer (they sell BMW's too) on my way home from school, I went over to the BMW showroom that had a 2011 leftover 328 as well as a 2012 328 in the showroom. The 2011 was a silver on black 328 xDrive and the 2012 was a 328 "Modern" line. Both were similarly optioned except the '11 had the xDrive but I didn't drive them, just sat in them. First I took a seat in the 2012, and man was it comfortable, leather felt really nice and the interior is laid out nicely. The tan interior was nice and the wood trim had really nice touches such as the grooves in the wood trim which I really liked. Onto the 2011. It's definitely a little smaller inside than the 2012, but I still found it very comfortable. I thought the 2011 had a more sporty and more traditional BMW 3-Series feel to it (May have to sit in a '12 Sport to see if I stand corrected), and I've even said it to a few salesmen. I think the '11 is more simply laid out and the positioning to use the iDrive and shifter are better placed. If I were in the market for one of the two, I would personally go for a 2011 leftover (my local BMW dealer still has tons of them on the lot and my local dealer is running 0% financing on '11's) or a CPO previous-gen 3er (let depreciation work for me and I think is a better value overall, especially when one with 30-50k miles is $22-27k). I like the more sporty feel to it, If I want the fluff, I'll go to Mercedes or Audi which is that the '12 has, is more fluff.

I hate to be the one to say it, but everyone had better get used to these kinds of cars or you'll probably end up buying older used cars for the rest of your life. Car manufacturers can't completely ignore the very stiff CAFE regulations looming in the years ahead. For a manufacturer like BMW, it's going to need every one of the 36mpg (or whatever it's old "unadjusted" figure they use to compute CAFE ratings) these 328i's earn on the EPA test.

Not the actual Man, Myth, Legend....Just a Giant fan since birth, I come in peace
I agree. I laughed when Brees told the team last week in Atlanta that "This is our division!"
you kow how you remedy that? with a tall glass of whoop a.z.z.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
From what I've witnessed, Who Dat was just a colloquial term in new orleans long before it was associated with the city's football team... it would be like if we all started saying fuhgeddaboutit everytime the Giants forced a 3 and out.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Then, in the post game press conference, when reporters ask TC why the Gmen didn't score more points, choosing instead to run out the clock by running the ball, he can look at the camera and say that running up the score when the outcome has already been decided is not something he believes in and is not the Giants way. The message to the front running Saints would be crystal clear. The added bonus would be effectively knocking the Who Dats out of the playoffs.
You know before bounty gate, Sean Payton and crew were looking to be the 1st SB team to play the game in their own building. I'd love for the Gmen to smack them down and end that dream.
Here's hoping.
Horray for french-infected semi-illiterate mush-mouth creole!

Christmas Gifts
My wife and I are planning on giving our family Christmas hampers this year with homemade chutneys, jams and locally sourced biscuits and cheeses.
Anyway, one thing we were going to include is a peanut butter brittle but I'm looking for presentation boxes for them.
Was thinking clear plastic christmas tree boxes but cannot find them anywhere, can anyone help?

Select Sires Professional Technicians Receive Advanced Training
September 18th 2013
Ten professional technicians from across the U.S. participated in the annual Technician Conference at Select Sires' headquarters in Plain City, Ohio. Employees from five member cooperatives were present for the two-day event, where they received advanced education in reproduction and service to better serve Select Sires' customer-owners.
"Select Sires is committed to offering the best reproductive service team in the industry, and that begins with our technicians," stated Dr. Ray Nebel, vice president of technical service programs. "These technicians are part of the largest field service team in the industry and work hard every day to create pregnancies. This conference is an excellent time to provide them with advanced training and give them the opportunity to share ideas with their colleagues."
The participants received in-depth information about estrus synchronization, factors affecting conception, heat detection, Select RePRO Analysis™, fertility research, dairy sire programs, reproductive troubleshooting, Select Sires' gender SELECTed™ process, Select Detect™ and Heatime®, the two most technologically advanced activity and health monitoring systems available today.
Technician training participants included: All West/Select Sires—Harry Anderson, Modesto, Calif. and Randy Van Wieringen, Sunnyside, Wash.; East Central/Select Sires—Jeremy Konen, Mazomanie, Wis. and Shannon Sauer, Waterloo, Wis.; NorthStar Cooperative—Tyler Freund, Arpin, Wis., Garret Carnahan, Hilbert, Wis., Jared Krull, Shawano, Wis. and Chris McTaggart, Sterling, Mich.; Prairie State/Select Sires—Kyle Peters, Sioux Center, Iowa and Select Sires MidAmerica—Donald Mininger, Glasgow, Ky.
Based in Plain City, Ohio, Select Sires Inc. is North America's largest A.I. organization and is comprised of nine farmer-owned and -controlled cooperatives. As the industry leader, it provides highly fertile semen as well as excellence in service and programs to achieve its basic objective of supplying dairy and beef producers with North America's best genetics at a reasonable price.

text: I was approached by someone in San Antonio looking for some help removing a potentially huge hive in the wall of an old garage, which evidently has been there for years. The person is willing to help but has no equipment at all (suit, smoker, hive boxes, etc., etc.). He says he hasn't found any bee removal services available to help any time soon. I am willing to help but don't have the capacity to keep a potentially large number of bees not to mention all the comb. He doesn't want to kill them off, just do a rescue. Anyone know of any services that could help him out soon? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.


text: So Got my truck tinted yesterday and i decided to only do the fronts and a sunshade because the back three windows already had factory 18% on them i went with 20% in the front. From the outside the tints look the same all the way around but when i get into the truck i swear the fronts are darker than the backs....I thought it was just my eyes playing in tricks on me but my girlfriend got into the truck and immediately said the same thing! This annoys me greatly and i think i might have to go back and put some over the factory crap just because of this. Anyone else notice this or have this problem? Adam

THE $143 MILLION Highway 101-Greenbrae-Corte Madera freeway plan is starting to show deep cracks. The scheme, devised by Caltrans in conjunction with the Transportation Authority of Marin, met initial objection from the town of Corte Madera.
Now two respected mayors, Larkspur's Dan Hillmer and San Rafael's Gary Phillips, have joined the conversation.
In Sunday's Marin Voice column, Hillmer and Phillips proposed an alternative heavy on public transit and sustainable mobility coupled with cost-effective freeway safety improvements.
Corte Madera council members and Marin environmentalists had earlier devised alternatives that directed much of the project's funds toward public transit, pedestrians and bike-friendly solutions. TAM's staff and Caltrans dismissed many of their suggestions.
Even if the cash is spent as Caltrans proposes, no additional highway traffic capacity is added. Nor is there much practical benefit to current motorists.
According to the "Design year 2035 intersection levels of services" exhibit in TAM's "Final Traffic Operations Report," freeway on- and off-ramp waiting times would be, at best, shortened by mere seconds.
Some of Hillmer's and Phillips' suggestions were raised at Monday's confusing meeting of the project's "Working Group." Little was accomplished despite the presence of a professional facilitator who didn't have a clue about how to bring the Working Group to a consensus.
The elements of a compromise are there in plain sight.
Now, it's going to take someone neutral who knows how to truly facilitate to arrive at a revised plan that's broadly acceptable.
IT'S EASY TO GROUSE that some public employees are overpaid and receive unsustainable pensions. It's not as easy enduring strike-related disruption when a public agency board makes a fiscally prudent and politically courageous stand.
That's what Bay Area travelers will experience on Aug. 5 if the Bay Area Rapid Transit District and its union employees don't first hammer out an agreement.
Unless BART's elected board holds firm, a union-leaning conclusion to the looming strike will be the proverbial "canary in the coal mine" warning for local elected officials. That outcome could be a signal to public unions that the Great Recession is over and it's time to return to the good old days.
If the transit agency's unions do prevail, Marin supervisors, city council members and special purpose district board members will rue that day when 2014 elections roll around. They'll get battered, either by unhappy unions or angry taxpayers.
It's not that BART underpays its employees. Train operators make between $70,000 and $76,000 annually, including overtime, plus $50,000 in fringe benefits, paying nothing toward their pensions. The union is demanding a 23.2 percent wage hike over four years. Management is offering 2 percent annually over the four-year contract plus mandating employee pension contributions.
Don't blame unions. It's their duty to advocate for their members. The responsibility is on elected officials, including Marin supervisors, whose first job is to protect their constituents.
MARIN'S Registrar of Voters, Elaine Ginnold, is an efficient and accurate vote counter. Now she's sharing her talents with those locales with, shall we say, less history with open and honest balloting? Ginnold just finished monitoring the Mongolian presidential election.
At no cost to Marin taxpayers, Ginnold is a volunteer for the Election Observation Mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. It monitors elections worldwide. That brought Marin's registrar of voters to Mongolia's isolated capital, Ulan Bator.
The Mongolians use sophisticated state-of-the-art digital scanners manufactured in Canada. They are so far advanced that the technology hasn't yet been certified in California.
Given Mongolia's lack of proper roads, vote tallies are transferred electronically to a central tabulation office. That's an advance some California jurisdictions (are you listening Sonoma County?) should follow to provide timely election results.

The ancient pukumani mortuary tradition incorporates the tunga or bark baskets, which are placed on top of the pukumani grave posts. Such active ceremonial activity provides the opportunity for creative involvement in body painting and the production of tutini, armbands and tunga.
Jeannie Dibatu's Bark basket has missing fibre and loss of pigment suggesting its use for ceremony before its transition to a gallery domain. The form has been fashioned by folding a bark sheet in half and sewing up the sides, while the bark is still moist and filling the form with padding, or sand, so that it may maintain its shape and to absorb the moisture from the bark casing. The bark fibre, or bush string, is also used to stitch and join the sides together and the basket is then painted.

I just got a 3rd gen PT145 Millennium Pro (10+1) as I love my PT745 Millennium Pro (6+1). Each has 450+ rounds through them and are 100%. Both shoot 1 inch groups at 30 feet.
Had a Kimber, Star-PD, Colt Officers and a Colt Defender, but they just didn't match the weight, accuracy, reliability, concealability, etc., of the PT145PRO.
My wife can shoot either with her tiny hands and is good to a 6 inch group at 30 feet.
My large (thick) hands fit well on the smaller grips of each.
Oddly, it is difficult for me to tell them apart when shooting. [??]
It is not a competition type sidearm, but in my 40 year search for the 'Perfect' CCW, I have found it in the Millennium PT145 PRO.
Too bad they weren't around during my 24 years in LE. It would have been the perfect off-duty carry at 10+1 and 22.5 ozs. and so thin.
I am partial to the .45acp, though.
Some don't like the Heinie sights, but I've been "Front Sight" trained for half my life, so no problem for me.
There are regular 3 dot sites available for those who prefer them [one of the Sig models?].
I also love the 'no load' trigger, which onlt offers resistance when its ready to 'squeeze', PERFECT !
Like all quality semis, they need 200+ rounds through them to be 'broke-in'... you'll see the wear marks that give that perfect fit.
Don't tell Taurus, but I'd pay $1200.00 for the thing before I'd go back to any of the others.
First time I've ever owned 2 of the same sidearms. [that wouldn't make sense, to some]

I striped my render code down to the basics in an effort to identify the issue:
[source lang="cpp"]Camera CalculationsCameraTarget.X = CameraPosition.X + Sin(vRadians)CameraTarget.Y = CameraPosition.Y + (Cos(vRadians) * Cos(hRadians))CameraTarget.Z = CameraPosition.Z + (Cos(vRadians) * Sin(hRadians))CameraUp.X = 0;CameraUp.Y = 1;CameraUp.Z = 0;Update View Matrix:D3DXMatrixLookAtLH(View_Matrix, CameraPosition, CameraTarget, CameraUp);[/source]
To make things as simple as possible I'll add 0.002 to the hRadians float each frame. This makes the camera rotate to the left but when I slow the frame rate down I can clearly see the camera is not turning the same amount each frame. This also happens when I calculate rotations for the world matrix before rendering 3D objects too. When rendering at 60 FPS and adding an easing calculation to movements it's not as noticeable for moving forward, backwards, left and right but when rotating, it is very noticeable. Even with the easing code added you can tell the rotations are accelerating and decelerating, sometimes jerky.
I've tried to truncate the calculations for the CameraTarget and CameraPosition to regain some precision but to no avail, the issue still persists.
Is this a precision issue? And if so, how can I get more precision for rotations? If it's a not a precision problem then what is it?

Start at (1) Temple, London's labyrinthine legal district since the 14th century. The Da Vinci Code may have lifted the Inns of Court from obscurity, but it's still possible to get lost in the warren of medieval alleyways. Walk up Middle Temple Lane to (2) Fountain Court, a hidden square.
Turn right into pretty (3) Devereux Court. "Built by Nicholas Barbon, the Donald Trump of his day," says Leo Hollis, author of Historic London Walks.
At the end of Devereux Court you come to the crossroads between two famous thoroughfares, Fleet Street and The Strand, where (4) Temple Bar once stood. Its arch, purportedly designed by Sir Christopher Wren, marked the City of London's western edge and now stands in Paternoster Square, by St. Paul's Cathedral.
The newspaper industry has long forsaken Fleet Street, like the subterranean river for which it is named. Turn left into the Strand. On your left is (5) Somerset House, a former palace whose central courtyard hosts a skating rink in winter and outdoor concerts in summer. "The annual London Craft Fair is great for unusual British ceramics and gifts," says Emma Hope, shoe designer.
Cross over the Strand to Wellington Street into Covent Garden. Wellington becomes Bow and at the corner of Bow Street and Floral Street is the (6) Royal Opera House, a grand old dame with a daring glass extension. Cheapskates can watch opera or ballet projected onto a giant screen in Covent Garden piazza on summer evenings or simply marvel at the view from the Amphitheatre Terrace.
Make a left on Floral and a Left on James Street to hit Covent Garden directly. Make a right on King Street and behind Covent Garden market, in the West End theater district, is a less famous (7) St. Paul's known as the actors' church. "A nice example of Inigo Jones architecture," says Leo Hollis. author of Historic London Walks. "Look for memorials to famous actors like Noel Coward and Vivien Leigh."
Living stars frequent (8) J. Sheekey, a superior seafood restaurant with top-hatted doormen at # 28-32 St. Martin's Court. To find it, walk down King Street, which turns into New Row, and across St. Martin's Lane.
Turn left at Charing Cross Road for the (9) National Portrait Gallery, which helps you put faces to familiar names in British history, from Tudor kings to contemporary novelists. Start on the top floor—stopping to admire the cityscape from the Portrait Restaurant—and work your way down chronologically, from past to present.
On the other side of Trafalgar Square is the (10) National Gallery containing seven centuries of European masterpieces. The collection is divided among 66 intimate galleries, so you never feel overwhelmed.
The National Gallery sits on the west side of (11) Trafalgar Square. At its center, atop a 169-foot granite column, stands Horatio Nelson, who died 200 years ago in the Battle of Trafalgar. Fortunately, pigeon-feeding has been prohibited, so it's safe to look up again.
Cross Trafalgar Square, go through Cockspur Street and continue heading south until you reach The Mall, a tree-lined boulevard leading through (12) St. James Park, one of the loveliest of London's nine royal parks. Dip into the (13) Institute of Contemporary Arts at Carlton House Terrace on your right, a counter-cultural hotbed in the heart of the establishment, before lunch overlooking the lake at (14) Inn the Park, located in the park, catty corner to the intersection of The Mall and Horse Guards Road. At the end of the Mall is (15) Buckingham Palace. If the flag is flying, you'll know the Queen is home.

Nisswa Lightning pound Cuyuna with 18 hits
The Nisswa Lightning pounded out 18 hits in defeating the Cuyuna Range Miners 13-4 in amateur baseball action on Monday, May 27, in Crosby.
Jason Roepke finished with four hits, including a two-run homer in the first inning, and in six innings.
Luke Schumer finished 2-for-4 with a double and three RBIs and two runs scored. Mark Germain was 2-3 with a double and Morgan Shepherd was 2-6.
Nisswa 2, St. Wendel 1
Morgan Shepherd's run-scoring single in the bottom of the 11th inning lifted Nisswa to a 2-1 victory over the visiting St. Wendel Saints on Sunday, May 26.
Jeremiah Piepkorn hit a solo home run in the first for Nisswa. St. Wendel's Ben Schwanberg tied the game with a ninth-inning solo home run, forcing extra innings.
