Looking to buy new tires. Not real happy with the OEM Godyears. Any suggestions????
You didn't mention how you plan to drive the car and whether you intent to stay with run-flat tires. This information would help in providing suggestions.
Is your coupe a Z51 car that came with SuperCar tires? If so, they do wear out fast and are not that good in the rain.
I like Michelin All Season tires but I don't think they come in run-flat sizes for the C6.
I have 2 C6's and the GY F1 GS2's on each have done well for me. Then both of my cars are MagRide and MagRide really works well with the run-flat tire.

I give a 2nd to the Firestones. I have had a set on my car now for about 20,000 miles and there is still more than ample tread left. They are nowhere near the wear bars.
They have a treadwear rating of 320 vs. 220 for the Goodyears. The sound isn't much different than the Goodyears. Of course tires as wide as the ones on our cars get louder with age.

I like Sumitomo tires, affordable and have Z-rated tires.
I had them on my Camaro, Audi and fresh set on the Vette.

I have a 2007 Coupe Z51 and I'm wondering weather or not to get run flat tires. Can anyone comment on that?
I run Nitto Invos on both my C6 Z51 and c5 Z06. I track these cars ... and I also drive them to work regulalry .... the Nittos are fantastic. Right now West Coast Corvette has a set (fronts and rears) for around $1000.
The Nitto Invos aren't run-flats. I keep a bottle of that flat-tire-repair-in-a-can stuff with me .. and the phone number of a local towing company ... just to make myself feel better .... but have never had to use it.
I just replaced the original Supercar tires on my Z51 2005 convertible. Got 19k from them, and they were "junk" by then. I replaced with the Michelin Pilot Sports A/S (they make for C6's now) and love them. The car handles beautifully, the ride is smoother and a whole lot quieter!

I just replaced the Z51 tires on my '06 with the; NEW GY F1 Supercar EMT Run Flats and I'm very happy . GREAT DEAL at Discount Tire Direct $950.00 - $140.00 in GY rebates (sorry offer is over) for a total delivered price of $810.00 for all four. BIG improvement over the factory tires.
It sames most people that drive their vettes hard prefer the Michelins. But why pay all that money if you're not a hard driver. I switched to the Firestone wide oval runflats. In my opinion they're better than the GY supertires overall, especially in wet conditions. They grip much better. The only complaint is you can feel some slight roll compared to the GY's if you're really hitting a turn hard. The sidewall gives a little more, but not much and only when you're really hitting the curve hard, but it's a tradeoff...the GY's feel like they may break loose on you...the firestones just same to roll slightly, but never give you the feeling that they will loose grip. Got about 10k on them now and they still look fairly new. I only got about 17k out of my GY supertires. You can get all four for about $850. Tony
My 08 will roll 15k this week and the fronts are about junk. I drive a very crooked road back and forth everyday and challenge every bit of it. Still haven't made up my mind Firestones or the "new" F1 Supercar. Will likely just do the fronts as the rears look to have at least 5-10k more left on them.

This past summer brought with it terrible headlines: a rash of deaths involving young children — many of them babies — left or forgotten in the car by parents or caregivers. These stories are heartbreaking, and can be hard to dislodge from your mind. And the scary truth is, it could really happen to anyone. How many times have you left something in the car, or even in your house, and had to go back to get it? Sure, it would be difficult to forget a child — an actual living, breathing human being — but it can happen. The results can be disastrous, as we've seen several times over this past summer alone.
The death of a child, especially through negligence or accidents at the hands of their parents, always draws the ire of the general public. In the case of hot car deaths, it provides an incredibly tricky situation. While the parents are certainly liable for what happens when they leave or forget their children in the car, it truly is something that anyone could do, whether they mean to or not. People make mistakes, and unless there is some sort of ulterior motive found (in which case we're looking at murder or homicide charges), no one can really make these people feel any worse than they probably already do.
Now, we live in a world in which vehicle technology is progressing at an extremely rapid rate. On-board computers can tell us where to go, tailor entertainment choices to our personal tastes, and even play movies or television shows for passengers. There are devices that can help you parallel park, cameras for backing up, and even 3D top-down camera views to assist drivers in navigating even the trickiest of tight spaces.

BeschreibungThis is a concise yet comprehensive guide to feeds and syndication for content professionals, web developers and marketing teams who want to understand what RSS and content syndication is, how it works, what it can for them, and how they can get it up and running. The feed formats and vocabularies are covered in depth, and the book does require some familiarity with XML, but no scripting or development expertise is necessary.
The book starts by analyzing the need to distribute content that RSS emerged to meet. It outlines in development of the various formats as way of understanding how the technology map of today came about. The current status of the leading formats is summarized succinctly.
Then RSS is examined in detail. The XML vocabulary and document structure is examined and explained clearly. Each element is illustrated with carefully chosen examples. The changes through RSS 0.9x to 2.0 are covered in depth as are extensions and modules such as BitTorrent, EasyNews and others.
The book then goes on to examine the richness and complexity of RSS 1.0 and 1.1, again covering both how design decisions were made, then covering the XML structure in depth. The same in depth treatment is then given to Atom, comparing and contrasting the formats where appropriate.

About my libraryThis is primarily a virtual library. I used to have a fairly large collection of both professional books and those read for pleasure. When I became visually impaired and then disabled, I began to give away the professional books I could no longer read and no longer used, then slowly was able to let go of a lot of the books I'd been carting around with me for years. It's taken me about 20 years to reduce my standard print books to my collection of poetry books, a number of books on Buddhist and other forms of spiritual and meditation practice, my Pooh collection and assorted thises and thats with which I still can't part. I still have my entire Nero Wolfe collection, though it's visually quite inaccessible. Silly me. :)

What is Rapid Re-housing Anyway?
March 24, 2014
So what is this rapid re-housing everyone seems to be talking about?
As evidence mounts, rapid re-housing is emerging as a promising strategy to end homelessness. Early examples of rapid re-housing began to emerge as a promising strategy to address homelessness in cities and counties in the late 1980s. Initially a "housing first" strategy, the concept of rapid re-housing places a priority on moving the family or individual experiencing homelessness into permanent housing as quickly as possible, and has grown to include a unique blend of services, supports, and connections to benefits and employment.
Preliminary studies have shown that rapid re-housing can quickly get a family or individual who is experiencing homelessness off of the street, and more importantly, significantly reduce the rate of returning to homelessness. Studies have shown that between 80 to 90 percent of families that exit rapid re-housing programs do not return to homelessness, significantly higher than other common strategies.
Rapid re-housing focuses on placing program participants into permanent housing without regard to preconditions, such as sobriety or income. However, confusion among providers over exactly which components are necessary to make up a rapid re-housing program continues. For instance, some organizations have adopted the name "rapid re-housing," but are operating programs with requirements such as participation in services; a clean record; limit the time a client may stay in a unit; or keep the lease in the organization's name.
And while rapid re-housing is increasingly gaining traction among federal agencies and local providers, there has been no clear national consensus of the core components of rapid re-housing.
That is, until now.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Veterans Affairs, along with the US Interagency Council on Homelessness, and the Alliance, recently agreed upon a set of components that every rapid re-housing program should share.
- Housing identification – Identify landlords willing to lease to tenants with potential barriers to housing; assist clients identify their housing choices; support landlords as challenges emerge.
- Rent and move-in assistance – Provide financial support to cover move-in costs, utility costs, security deposits, and rent.
- Rapid re-housing case management and support – Provide clients access to client-directed, customized, and voluntary services, including tenant-landlord relations, employment, benefit eligibility, and crisis resolution.
The full, one-page list of core components can be found here.
Having a common understanding and agreement of the core components of rapid re-housing is essential to its success. For a program to be implemented and evaluated, especially in comparison to other strategies, there must be uniform understanding of what that program entails. These core components are the beginning of that greater understanding – and ultimately adoption – of rapid re-housing.
While there is still much to learn, rapid re-housing is a promising strategy to address homelessness that is already producing positive results. It requires coordination and commitment from landlords and partners in the community, and its very time-limited nature means it is not meant to solve the broader issues of poverty and affordable housing. However, it is an important component of quickly moving families and individuals who are experiencing homelessness back into permanent housing.

How to Recertify
Certificants have two options for reporting credits earned. The first and preferred option is the AFP Online Recertification Resource Center. Once you have earned and reported all 36 credits, the tool will allow you to pay your recertification fee online using a credit card.
The second option is to submit the Recertification Reporting Form. This option must be used when:
- Paying by check
- Requesting an extension
The completed form can be mailed or faxed to AFP. This form may only be submitted once all 36 recertification credits have been earned or to report credits earned to date to qualify for an extension.
For more information on the CTP recertification requirements and continuing education activities/topics that are eligible for credit, see the Recertification Guidelines on the AFPOnline.org site.

DENVER - A Colorado Springs man who went by the screen name "pervymcperv" on a peer-to-peer software program will spend the next eight years in federal prison.
The Department of Justice says Kevin Shea, 43, will also have to serve 10 years on supervised release, pay restitution totaling $7,000 to the victims of his crimes, and register as a sex offender.
The DOJ says Shea used a peer-to-peer software program, using the name "pervymcperv" to distribute 97 images of child pornography and 3 videos of child pornography. FBI agents seized two laptop computers and an external hard drive from his home that combined contained approximately 4,838 images of child pornography including images of bondage and torture, and 228 videos featuring child pornography.
The investigation into Shea began in January 2011.

(Telegraphoto-Harrigan) U. S. Okays Jordan Arms Deal By CARL C. CRAFT CONCORD, N. H. (AP) New Hampshire's pro- posed 1970 71 budget is million after its in- itial roller coaster, ride through the legislative labyrinth up here, down there, gaining progress losing others there. Ready For Next Run Now, the major piece of leg- islative business is ready for the next run that begins Wednesday with the start of House Appro- priations Committee hearings and ends May 8 with a vote on the House floor. Then, the Sen- ate takes over. As entered in the House by the Appropriations Committee Thursday, the complex proposal for state spending is plus or minus a few million dollars from figures outlined in Gov. Walter Peterson's mid-February message. But it -is nearly., impossible to compute the exact tora! change between what the governor wanted and what the commit- tee offered newsmen figure the spread at up or down by million. The man who knows the most about the financial revisions Rep. Joseph Eaton, R-HUlsbor- ough, hardworking chairman of an overworked Appropriations Committee takes the view that, in reality, "our budget is not much different from (the one offered by the governor." Eaton considers the. difference between Peterson's budget and the one offered by Appropria- tions as a decrease of 1 per cent. He gave various figures on the financial gap ranging from million to mil- lion. Absent from the Appropria- tions version is Peterson's pro- posed "vital new program of educational assistance." Present in the committee's measure is the foundation aid program viewed by critics as antiquated that distributes state funds to needy local school districts. Peterson wanted to scrap the foundation aid program in fav- or of a fund earmarking reve- nue from the 5 per cent rooms and meals tax, the sweepstakes program and the tax on sav- ings institutions. This new fund was to nourish every local dis- trict and feed more to the needy ones. The governor's proposed fund would have been a substitute for the now-appropriated funds and provided a net increase of million. The foundation aid law distributed million dur- ing the last biennium. Theory Not Sound Eaton, saying the earmarking By HEDRICK SMITH NIDI York Timii N.wi Sirvlci WASHINGTON The United States has agreed to a million arms deal with Jordan, including sale of a second squadron of 18 F104 jet interceptors, re- liable sources reported to- day. Option Obtained King Hussein of Jordan ob- tained an option three years ago for the planes but because of 1 previous suspension of Ameri- can arms shipments to Jordan and persistent tensions in the Middle East, there had been some doubt whether Washington would allow him to exercise his option. There have also been long de- lays in delivery of the first squadron of F104s that had made sale of a second squadron seem improbable. The first squadron .is scheduled for delivery start- ing in June. During his official visit to Agnew Embarrassed Over N.H. Incident CONCORD, N.H. (AP) Vice President Spiro T. Agnew was "embarrassed" by restric- tions imposed on newsmen at his April 15 visit to a Republi- can fund-raising dinner in Man- chester the White House re- ported today. In a letter to the editor of The Concord Monitor, Paul W. Costello, executive assistant ta the director of communications for the executive branch, said protests over the restrictions were "well-founded." The letter said Agnew "has taken 'steps to make certain there will not be a recurrence." Monitor Editor Thomas W. Gerber wrote Costello April 17 protesting the fact that news-, men's questions, tape record- ings, photographs and television cameras were barred at a press reception that preceded the GOP dinner. Agnew overrode the restric- Nixon Appoints Rochester Man U. S. Marshal WASHINGTON (AP) Victor Cardqsi, of Rochester, N.H., is President Nixon's nominee for United States Marshal In New Hampshire. Cardosi's name was among a list of the president's choices for United States attorneys and marshals in seven states re- leased Thursday. tive ground rules for the recep- tion and responded to news- men's questions and allowed three minutes for photographs. However, television coverage of the affair was prohibited. Costello said the restriction! stemmed from "confusion" on the part of "local sponsors" who misinterpreted instructions not to shine tv lights into Ag- new's face. "These instructions were not necassary because the vice president speaks frequently be- fore tv cameras and lighting is not a distraction to Cos- tello wrote. Gerber is chairman of the Press Freedom Committee of the New England Daily News- paper Association. The man imposing the re- strictions was Spencer Schedler, a Sinclair Oil Co. employe who bad been a volunteer worker in the Republican presidential campaign last fall. He told re- porters he had taken a vacation to help make arrangements for the Manchester visit. In his letter to Costello, Ger- ber questioned the propriety at Schedler working for the vice president while still in the em- ploy of Sinclair Oil. "His connection with Sinclair Oil Co. had no connection with his assisting in making-arrange- ments for the Manchester Costello said. Newsmen from throughout the state and Boston have com- plained either to the White House or newsmen's organiza- tions about the restrictions. Washington earlier this month, Hussein told the Nixon Admin- istration he wanted the second squadron of F104s and was re- portedly given approval in prin- ciple. The details of the arms deal are still to be worked out. The new administration ex- panding the package also agreed to sell Jordan other equipment including armored personnel carriers, communications equip- ment and small arms. But the jets are the major item. In deference to Israeli sensi- tivities to tanks as an attack weapon, the Nixon Administra- tion is reported to have turned down a Jordanian request to in- clude a shipment of tanks in the deal. Both the American and Jor- danian governments regard the deal, well-placed sources said, as primarily a symbolic gesture of American political support for Hussein, intended to bolster his support among the Army Offi- cer Corps, which has been press- ing for new weapons. Delivery of the second squad- ron of F104s is not expected to begin for many months. The Jordanian airfields are not yet equipped to handle the first squadron, according to Ameri- can officials. In another development, the State Department today under- scored its concern with continu- ing violations of the Arab-Israeli ceasefire along the Suez Canal, especially in the wake reports quoting the Egyptian spokesman as saying Cairo con- sidered the ceasefire to be void. "We view with concern this and other previous reports indi- cating that the United Arab Re- public does not consider itself bound by the ceasefire resolu- spokesman Robert J. Me- Cioskey said, in a prepared reply to a question about the Egyptian position. "This is he continued, "and can only in- crease tensions in the area."

U.S. Stocks Gain on Claims, Trade Databy and
U.S. stocks rose for a second day as the average number of Americans filing first-time jobless claims over the past four weeks fell to a one-year low and the trade deficit unexpectedly shrank as a weaker dollar boosted exports.
Oracle Corp. (ORCL) gained 2.9 percent after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. increased earnings estimates. Coca-Cola Co. (KO) climbed to a 18-month high as Costco Wholesale Corp. said it will resume stocking its products. Walt Disney Co. (DIS) rallied 3.1 percent to the highers price since September 2008 after Sanford C. Bernstein increased its share buyback estimate for fiscal 2010.
"It's pretty clear the economy continues to strengthen," said Michael Vogelzang, who helps manage $1.8 billion in assets as chief investment officer at Boston Advisors in Boston. "We continue to burn off the remaining pieces of the economic meltdown we had a year ago."
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index climbed 0.6 percent to 1,102.35 at 4:06 p.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 68.78 points, or 0.7 percent, to 10,405.83. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 0.3 percent to 2,190.86.
After surging as much as 64 percent from a 12-year low on March 9, the S&P 500 has been little changed since mid-October amid concern the economy's recovery from the worst recession in seven decades won't be sustained. The index is trading for about 22 times the reported operating earnings of its companies, near the highest level since 2002.
Overseas Sales FedEx Corp. (FDX) and United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) are among companies benefiting from growing sales as slump in the dollar since March propels overseas business. Domestic sales for most companies in the S&P 500 fell during the third quarter as U.S. unemployment topped 10 percent for the first time since 1983. New jobless claims increased in the week ended Dec. 5 to 474,000 after declining for five straight weeks.
The four-week moving average of initial jobless claims slid to 473,750 last week and the trade gap narrowed 7.6 percent to $32.9 billion in October. Companies that rely on discretionary consumer spending climbed 1.4 percent for the top gain among 10 S&P 500 industry groups.
Oracle rose 2.9 percent to $22.59 and contributed most to the S&P 500's advance. Sarah Friar, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, said in a report that the world's second-largest software maker is likely to give "more upbeat guidance" when it reports fiscal second-quarter results on Dec. 17.
Coca-Cola added 1.3 percent to $58.58, its highest close since May 27, 2008. Drinks made by the Atlanta- based company will return to the shelves of Costco, the world's largest U.S. warehouse club, after the companies resolved a pricing dispute.
Disney Estimates Disney added 3.1 percent to $31.30 for the second-biggest advance in the Dow average. Michael Nathanson, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, increased his estimate for share buybacks in fiscal 2010 by the world's biggest theme-park operator to 58.5 million shares. Nathanson also raised his 2009 and 2010 per-share earnings estimates and price forecast.
Pall Corp. (PLL) rose 8.6 percent to $34.08 for the biggest gain in the S&P 500 and the stock's steepest rally in almost a year. The maker of filters for refineries and drugmakers said that, excluding some items, it expects to earn at least $2.02 a share in the current fiscal year. That topped the average analyst estimate of $1.91 from a Bloomberg survey.

Jenna loves old Audrey Hepburn movies.
Jenna's eyes and hair color is brown.
Jenna's first experiences on stage were yearly Christmas shows at Church, followed by playing Cinderella in Junior High School.
Jenna graduated of Sid Haig's Stage and Video Education Theater in Simi Valley, California.
Jenna has a twin sister, Jessica.
She is 5 feet, 4 inches tall.(1.63 m)
Jenna appeared in the movie Death of a Cheerleader.
Jenna was in the musical "Wicked" as Nessarose.
Jenna: You have to be willing to open yourself up, and to sit in the audience and be taken on this journey. If you come in with an open mind, and watch all of these kids tell their story to this amazing music, then you're going to be affected by it.
Jenna: I feel like people are really being affected by this show, because anyone can find at least one character that they relate to and if they don't, they remember what it was like to be in high school, and to see those people so they can relate in that sense. I don't think that any of the characters are clichéd, like 'that's your typical so and so' because the characters all have so many different levels to them.
Jenna: I try not to talk too much during the daytime, staying in and laying low, because I do tend to talk too much when I'm out! I'm also big into yoga, because the core of singing is breathing, and you work on that through yoga. It's also great for stretching and relaxing your body, which helps day in and day out.
Jenna: In Los Angeles, we only did 4 or 5 shows a week, compared with the 8 here in New York. I don't want to speak for everyone, but I think for a lot of people in Los Angeles, theater is just something that's sort of a hobby because unless you're willing to travel to a lot of the outside, and regional theaters, you're not making any money. The problem with those theaters though, is that they don't have the capability to hire understudies so it's tough to commit to a show, when you know that you'll be auditioning for TV and films at the same time.
Jenna: I just love acting and performing, and I'll be the first to admit that I don't often have that initial spark or idea, so I need to work with the director, and with the composer. As soon as the idea is planted in my brain though, I run with it, but I love the process of working with the production team to explore avenues that I haven't thought of. A lot of the changes that have been made never would have occurred to me, but every time I get new script pages, I think 'wow, this is even better than what we had before!
Jenna: Mandy Gonzalez actually did the original demos for the show, and was supposed to do the reading but had a scheduling conflict so she had to back out. A friend of mine had gone to college with Jon (Hartmere) and Damon (Intrabartolo) and they mentioned what they were doing, and that they were looking for a girl and my friend threw my name out there. I went in and sang for them and here I still am! (talking about "Bare")
Jenna: Theater has its own set of risks too, because there isn't any stopping and starting either, so if you mess yourself up, you also need to find a way out of it. (about performing in theater)
Jenna: It's a hard choice picking what to do when opportunities come your way, and people are kidding themselves if they think that everything everyone does is just for the passion of doing it. As much as I love the stage, it'd be silly to not explore the roles that have come my way in television and in film. The biggest struggles for me with those two mediums are that with them, nothing is filmed in order, so you have to do a lot of preparation as to where your character is coming and going. Often you film the beginning of something, and then don't get to finish it until 2 weeks later, but it has to flow as if it was all one scene.
Jenna: My first real part though was the Diary of Anne Frank when I was about 14. I was so young, and completely wide-eyed that I was open to anything that anyone wanted to tell me, which helped me to learn so much doing that show.
Jenna: I think that I was probably 12 or so before anyone knew that I had any ability to sing so I definitely wasn't singing before I spoke. I never thought about doing anything though career-wise other than acting, so let's all knock on wood and hope that this works out!
Jenna: I'm a twin, and they say that when you are a twin that one person takes a much more dominant role, and the other one kind of stays in the background... I was always the one that kind of stayed in the background. My mother encouraged performing and theater because she thought that it was something that I'd be good at and that it could help to break me out of my shell.
Jenna: There's nothing else in the world like having the audience there, and getting the instant feedback if your joke lands, if you've performed a song well, or if you hit an emotional core with someone. (Broadwayworld's interview with Jenna)
Jenna: Phantom was the first really big show that I saw, and then Les Mis which was just incredible and to this day is one of my all time favorite shows. (talking about Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables)

On December 23 I ordered the Lombardi's 100% Letter, for an annual fee of $520. The website stated:" If you purchase a subscrription from us you have a 60 day period from receipt of your first issue to ask for a pro-rated refund. All of our product order forms have the guarantee associated with the product we are selling clearly spelled out."
On December 27I called to cancel, and was told it would take 30 days to get a refund (so, of course, they could make money on my money until then!) Whenthe refund was finally posted on January 26, it was for $52 only! (Imagine my surprise!)
I've called, been put on hold for long periods of time, and am now told they will "look it up."
Also, just for information, while they had a New York address listed in December, they've now moved that New York office to 110 Wall Street, 11th floor, NY 10005. However, their real location is PO Box 428, Kleinberg, Ontaria L0J1C0. Their website has none of this information at this time. It was difficult getting the representative to give it to me, by the way.

Jessica Davis, a 29-year-old University of Colorado senior, found herself falsely branded a sex offender and kicked off MySpace last weekend, ABC News reports. There is no registered sex offender by her name in Colorado. But when Davis availed herself of MySpace's appeals process, the results were less than satisfactory
"I want to inform you that I am NOT a sex offender, let me repeat my self (sic), I am NOT a sex offender. You have the wrong person and I'm horrified and appalled at such an accusation," wrote Davis, an English major who lives outside of Boulder and hopes to attend law school. "I would like to know where you got this information and would like this matter cleared up ASAP."
On Wednesday, days after she sent a second e-mail to MySpace, Davis said she finally heard back.
"We do not keep records of removed profiles or images," the response note reads. "If it was removed by MySpace it was because of a violation of our terms and conditions — which can include a number of things (underage, inappropriate images, cyber bullying, spam, etc). Please review our terms for further assistance."
If MySpace really isn't saving full copies of the profiles it's removing, there are going to be some very pissed off attorneys general with unfulfilled subpoenas in their pockets — and probably a few recidivist sex offenders breathing sighs of relief. Davis told ABC News that she supports MySpace's efforts, but is worried that the database it built with Sentinel Tech Holding Corp. will start circulating with her information in it.
Beyond basic confusion, concerns about possible identify theft and frustration at the lack of follow up by MySpace, Davis said she fears that at some point she may have to explain a sex offender label she doesn't understand — particularly as states, including Colorado, will have access to the MySpace database.
"I do plan to go into law and I want to go into the public sector and I don't want to have to explain this to people that there's this Web site MySpace and they screwed this up," Davis said. "I don't want to have defend my innocence."
MySpace isn't talking about this, but Sentinel — the company that built the database for MySpace — has acknowledged the error. Sentinel CEO John Cardillo told ABC News that the system functioned properly, because an actual sex offender existed with the same name, and a date of birth two years and two days apart from Davis'.
"It was so close," Cardillo told ABCNEWS.com. "It was one of those rare instances where there was nothing else we could have done but flag her. If we get an offender and I'm looking at a date of birth that's two days off, we're going to assume were dealing with the offender."
Cardillo would not say exactly what pieces of information Davis had to provide to clear her name, citing trade secrets that could help sex offenders beat his database. He added that the experience is likely isolated and may help prevent the same type of snafu from happening again.
When I performed my MySpace sex offender survey, it took manual inspection to distill 744 confirmed matches from thousands of computer-generated leads. I wouldn't label someone a "match" if their ages were different, unless the photographs were clearly of the same person, and the location matched. Since Davis and her sex offender name-alike don't resemble each other, it appears that MySpace isn't taking the same care.
That means we'll be seeing more cases like this. The incident also casts doubt on the usefulness of MySpace's appeal process. Responding to Davis' plea by sending her a form letter falsely accusing her of wrongdoing isn't Solomonic jurisprudence.

Montcalm County's Health Care Plus 'doing just fine'
STANTON — Health Care Plus is not losing money as Montcalm County officials previously thought.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Director David Feldpausch previously told the Board of Commissioners he was predicting Health Care Plus would lose $5,000 or more this year due to a combination of more claims and greater claim amounts. The plan was thought to have been losing money since 2008 and commissioners were in the process of seeking legal advice.
But Felpausch recently discovered that the program had funds unknown to him.
"We discovered that a portion of subscription fees were being deposited into an account that should have been rolled over in to the budget for the following year and they were not being rolled over," Feldpausch said. "We had quite a bit of money that we didn't realize we had. Health Care Plus is not having money problems, in fact it's doing just fine."
EMS began offering Health Care Plus in 1997. The goal was to give people on a fixed income or Medicare a copay option for ambulance transportation costs.
The standard Medicare copay is 20 percent. Health Care Plus covers all out-of-pocket expenses for "medically necessary" transportation provided by EMS for subscribers, their spouses and dependent children living in the same household.
Anyone is eligible to subscribe to the program, but EMS has focused its marketing efforts on low-income residents.
Although the program is doing well financially, Feldpausch still wants to make some changes, including price increases to help keep the program financial stable. Commissioners are reviewing his proposed changes.
"The program is still vulnerable if we receive a large number of claims from underinsured or uninsured participants," Feldpausch said. "The entire program operates on a budget of around $10,000 so it does not take many large claims to significantly change the financial stability of the program."
Health Care Plus currently has 327 participants. Last fiscal year, 83 claims were made, eight of which were more than $200.

There is an old axiom in politics and leadership in general that says, either you define yourself, or someone else will do it for you, most likely in a way that you don't like. When historians look back at the first 13 months of Barack Obama's Presidency, they will mention how everyone seemed to be defining him except for Obama and his administration. I am not saying that is the total of the administration's issues. They have made a few other genuine mistakes like not prosecuting a more vigorous change oriented agenda. I've covered those concepts in prior articles. This is more basic than disagreeing with policies and agenda choices. You have to define and defend who you are and your choices.
Republicans were determined to hang the Socialist label on Barack Obama. This started before the election and continued unabated into his Presidency. Nothing President Obama has done resembles the definition of Socialism. It's really not even close. I've covered this topic thoroughly several times in articles before this one. Suffice to say if you talk to a Socialist, one finds that they are offended to have their belief system compared with the actions of the administration.
Conversely, you have a portion of the activist wing of the Progressives in and outside of the Democratic Party who have been busy labeling the President as a right winger who hasn't changed policies appreciably from the Bush administration.
Dick Cheney has been going around saying that Obama is soft on terrorism and too pacifist in general and this is putting the country in danger.
The aforementioned Progressives say that Obama is a Rambo-esque warmonger and that the two current wars are now Obama's wars. This is interesting since Vietnam never became Nixon's war despite that the Vietnam War continued through Nixon's entire first term. Nixon even escalated the war in Vietnam late in his first term through operations Linebacker one and two. No one blames Nixon for Vietnam, but a significant number of Progressives are saying that Obama should be blamed for Iraq and Afghanistan.
The tea party, or teabaggers as I affectionately refer to them (this is my subtle use of irony), have been saying that Obama is a big government guy because of the stimulus and health care reform. There are several problems with those assertions. The first problem is that a stimulus is by nature a singular and temporary act. It's not strongly indicative one way or the other whether someone is for more government or against. A big government person would enact permanent measures that grow the government. As far as health care reform is concerned, the path that Democrats in congress, with President Obama's tacit approval, have taken health care reform is several dozen degrees of separation away from the bigger government possibilities. The top big government path for health care reform is single payer nationalized health care ala Canada or Great Britain. For better or for worse (I am not going to go into my opinion on that since that isn't the point here), this never received serious consideration by Democrats. There are also several types of single payer healthcare that do not involve complete or substantive nationalization. Those are also not on the table. The idea of a government public option was also summarily tossed aside. In the face of those facts, it is dishonest to say that Democrats or the President are pursuing a big government approach to healthcare reform. In fact, they seem to be running away from substantive government involvement in Health Care as fast as they can.
The problem for the administration is that all of that, the negative and in most cases false statements by tea partiers, Progressives, Dick Cheney and other Republicans, all of that has been and is being allowed to go on with very little in the way of response by the administration. They are letting all of these people and groups define the President. The simultaneous far right, far left criticisms of the President are pretty funny if you momentarily separate yourself from caring. As an experiment, I invite readers to spend time where I publish my articles at OpEdNews www.opednews.com and read several of the articles about Obama on that site, and then go to Free Republic www.freerepublic.com and read some of what they have to say about Obama. I am not prone to motion sickness, but the competing accusations of Right Wing Crypto-Fascist at OpEdNews and Socialist/Communist at Free Republic have me positively seasick after I did this.
This President and his administration have let other people define him. I think they have started to understand this and with things like taking on the Republican congressional caucus a few weeks ago they are taking some steps to address this but so far it is too little too late. The unanswered attacks have resulted in opinions that are entrenched in the minds of significant numbers of the American people. I might be able to understand this lack of responding to attacks if we had a President who was known for being a poor communicator. This President is one of the best communicators in American Presidential history. I'd put him in the top five for sure. Lincoln is #1 and Barack Obama is not far behind him.
Why have the folks around President Obama had him hanging back and not responding to these accusations? Better yet, why didn't they have him out there proactively defining himself before others had the chance? The administration has to have the President out there talking about what he is doing and why. They have to have him and the Vice President out there responding to critics. Overdoing this is better than not doing enough. The President has to stop letting other people define him if he hopes to have any chance of turning around the situation for the 2010 mid term elections or beyond.

Fix two points and two directions (without orientation) of the velocities in these points. In this paper we are interested to the problem of minimizing the cost
along all smooth curves starting from x with direction η and ending in with direction . Here g is the standard Riemannian metric on S2 and is the corresponding geodesic curvature. The interest of this problem comes from mechanics and geometry of vision. It can be formulated as a sub-Riemannian problem on the lens space L(4,1). We compute the global solution for this problem: an interesting feature is that some optimal geodesics present cusps. The cut locus is a stratification with non trivial topology.

Don't feel alone in that sometimes the best solution, try again another day!! Really cool when ya don't have to, Finished a Baby top this morning Yah, now off to laundry :(
and house work :( , guess I better get off here first ;)
sometimes that is the best thing to do. if i have to pull the samething out 2 times i put it up.
I was embroidering a turkey on a t-shirt last night when it began to act up. The turkey looked like it was molting! The threads were breaking and all looked awful. I even changed the needle. I put it all away and before I started today, I took apart the machine and gave it a thorough cleaning. Like my sister said, just one speck of dust can through the whole thing off. Today it made a nice turkey. :) And, I didn't kill the machine.
So frustrating. Start anew tomorrow. Rethread everything, do a little cleaning, needle changing and hold your tongue right. We'll be right here with you when you conquer!
My Mom always said,"sew on Friday, pick out on Monday." And you know what ? It sure came true for me many times, including what I sewed yesterday! Always knew I should listen to Mom!!LOL

Walk away, have a coke or coffee, watch a movie and then go back. I do great and when I hit a snag, sometimes it just gets my goat and i have to walk away too. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
Hugs! Today will be better!!!!!!!!
Sometimes I'll lay in bed at night after an episode like that and I'll think of all the thing it might be. The next morning I go in and check ALL of those things and usually come up with a solution. Frustration requires a "rest" period. BTW, don't know what kind of thread you are using, but I've tried some of the cheaper threads and found I have all kinds of problems with skipping and breaking. I think long arms are very picky! Mine likes King Tut on the top and Bottom Line in the bobbin. If you are using a cheap thread for your charity quilts, you might try changing and see if the breaking stops.

Rudd Election Defeat Looms as Polls Show Abbott GainsElisabeth Behrmann and Jason Scott
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd trails the opposition ahead of next month's Australian election as polls in the most marginal districts indicate coalition leader Tony Abbott may gain enough seats to form government.
Rudd's voter satisfaction level fell four percentage points to 35 percent, the lowest recorded in his two stints as prime minister, according to a Newspoll published in The Australian newspaper today. Abbott's Liberal-National coalition doubled its lead in the two-party preferred measure over Rudd's Labor party to an eight-point margin.
"There's no doubt we're still the underdog, and there's no doubt that Tony Abbott, if the election was held on the day it was announced would be the prime minister," Finance Minister Penny Wong yesterday told Channel Nine television.
Both leaders have put management of the world's 12th-largest economy at the center of their campaigns for the Sept. 7 ballot, amid slowing growth as a China-led boom in mining investment wanes. While Rudd initially narrowed the margin in opinion polls since defeating Julia Gillard in a June 26 Labor party ballot, Abbott has regained the upper hand in the most recent surveys.
"The polls show us that Rudd is failing to persuade swinging voters to switch to Labor," said Nick Economou, a political analyst at Monash University in Melbourne. "His brief when he returned to the leadership was to try and avoid a landslide defeat and he still may do that. Australians vote for parties, not personalities, and the electorate seems to have decided that Labor has failed and should be replaced."
Better Prime Minister
Labor stands to lose at least five seats in the election, according to separate polls published in the Australian Financial Review and Sydney Morning Herald. The coalition needs to gain four additional seats to make Abbott the prime minister.
Rudd pledged A$500 million ($459 million) over the weekend to help the nation's car industry after producers cut jobs and announced plant closures as lower tariffs and a strong Australian dollar make imported models cheaper. The coalition announced plans for a parental leave system to start from 2015 that would give mothers 26 weeks leave at their full wage.
On the question of who would make the better prime minister, Rudd fell three points to 43 percent, with Abbott gaining four points to 41 percent, today's Newspoll showed. The poll, conducted Aug. 16-18, surveyed 1,692 voters and had a margin of error of 2.4 percentage points.
The coalition now leads Labor on a two-party basis 54 percent to 46 percent. The two-party preferred measure is designed to gauge which party is most likely to form government under Australia's preferential voting system.
Newspoll is 50 percent owned by News Corp. Australia and 50 percent by Millward Brown Inc., a market-research company.
Marginal Electorates
In the four most marginal districts held by each side, Labor would retain just one seat while failing to take any from the opposition if the election were held now, according to a JWS Research poll published in the Australian Financial Review Aug. 17. The ruling party is on course to lose two other seats in New South Wales state, a separate poll by ReachTel in the Sydney Morning Herald indicated the same day.
Labor, with 71 of the 150 seats in the lower house of parliament, has relied on support from independent lawmakers and the Greens party since forming a minority government after the 2010 election. The coalition, which had 72 lawmakers in the chamber where government is formed, needs to increase that to 76 at the election to rule in its own right.
Beattie's Struggle
"I am not getting ahead of myself," Abbott told the Meet the Press program on Channel Ten yesterday. "I am not taking anything for granted."
The JWS Research poll sampled the Labor-held seats of Lindsay, Greenway and Banks in Western Sydney and Corangamite in Victoria state. It canvassed the coalition seats of Brisbane and Forde in Queensland, Aston in Victoria and Macquarie in New South Wales.
Former Queensland Labor Premier Peter Beattie, who announced Aug. 8 he would contest Forde in the state's southeast, is trailing incumbent member Bert van Manen by 33 percent to 54 percent on the primary vote, a 9.9 percent swing since the 2010 election, the poll showed, according to the Financial Review.
It sampled 568 people in Forde, now held by a 1.6 percent margin by van Manen, and the poll had a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points.
Labor is trailing in the seat of McMahon, held by Treasurer Chris Bowen, and in Kingsford Smith, which is being vacated by former minister Peter Garrett, according to ReachTel.
Federal support for Labor trails the opposition at 35 percent on the primary vote, slipping for a second week in a row, according to a Galaxy survey published yesterday in the Sunday Telegraph. The coalition's primary support was unchanged at 45 percent. Galaxy puts the coalition at 52 percent and Labor on 48 percent on a two-party preferred basis.

To the Editor:
Akritidis and coworkers (February 2003)1
reported a 56-year-old woman who presented with fever and productive cough of 2 weeks in duration because of achalasia. They comprehensively assessed the signs and symptoms, and the patient examination was almost perfect; achalasia associated with aspiration pneumonia was diagnosed. Although the symptoms could be explained by achalasia associated with aspiration pneumonia, they may have missed the diagnosis.
We believe that the case should be diagnosed as diffuse aspiration bronchiolitis (DAB) due to achalasia. DAB is a new term that we proposed to define a clinical entity that is characterized by a chronic inflammation of bronchioles caused by recurrent aspiration of foreign bodies.2
Recurrent aspiration causes cough and waxing and waning pulmonary lesions.2–
Although DAB is originally recognized as a disease in the elderly, our survey revealed that DAB occurred in young patients with the same clinical manifestations as those observed in the elderly.3–5
In younger patients, dysphagia due to achalasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with associated recurrent aspiration are major risks for development of DAB.3–5
DAB caused by achalasia was diagnosed in three patients aged 11, 12, and 56 years, respectively.3–5
Dysphagia and GERD are considerably associated with swallowing disorders and aspiration.6–11
Both the impaired lower esophageal sphincter and the depressed upper airway reflex contribute dependently or independently to recurrent lung infiltrates, resulting in the manifestation of DAB.
In the current case, the patient had a long history of a chronic dry cough that was worse at night, and had dysphagia for 15 years for solids and liquids, with substernal chest discomfort and pain that was unrelated to meals or exercise. When aspiration pneumonia, as the authors diagnosed, is a primary disorder, the symptoms are of acute onset and severe. However, the symptoms are generally insidious and chronic. Recurrent aspiration causes cough and waxing and waning pulmonary lesions, but does not always cause aspiration pneumonia. The history and the manifestation of symptoms are quite similar to DAB in the elderly.
It may be interesting to know whether the lung pathology revealed chronic mural inflammation with multinucleated histiocytes, ie, foreign body reaction, in bronchioles, which is a feature of DAB. Further, achalasia and GERD are closely associated with aspiration-associated lung infiltrates, ie, aspiration pneumonia and DAB.3–14
Thus, the case may be better diagnosed as DAB due to achalasia.
We thank Dr. Teramoto et al for their comments on our article (February 2003),1
and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. The diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia due to achalasia best explains the pulmonary lesions observed in the case that we described, and also the clinical and radiographic findings in our patient are consistent with this diagnosis and argue against the statement by Teramoto et al that our patient had "diffuse aspiration bronchiolitis" (DAB).
Aspiration occurs when the integrity of the neuromuscular system used for swallowing becomes altered or impaired anatomically or physiologically.2–
Deglutition is a neurologically controlled phenomenon that involves cognitive and motor control, integration of sensory information, and multiple levels of central and peripheral reflex control. As we pointed out in our article, the long-standing esophageal achalasia can be presented with acute-onset aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia is an infectious process caused by the inhalation of oropharyngeal material that is colonized by pathogenic bacteria, and our patient had the clinical features of pneumonia.3–
In patients with achalasia, stasis of food in the esophagus and recurrent aspiration appears to be a primary cause of acute lung infection from nontuberculous mycobacteria. Also, the term aspiration pneumonia suggests the development of radiographically evident infiltrate(s) in patients who are at high risk for oropharyngeal aspiration.4
In our patient, we did not perform lung biopsy because there were no appropriate clinical and radiographic grounds to do so. In the English-language literature, the term diffuse aspiration bronchiolitis was first proposed by Matsuse et al5
to define a chronic inflammation of the bronchioles caused by recurrent aspiration of foreign particles. In the study by Matsuse et al,5
the lesion was described at autopsy in 31 of 4,880 patients, many of whom had no clinical evidence of aspiration. The authors stated that patients with DAB had a relatively less severe and more insidious inflammatory response than aspiration pneumonia.
Our patient had prominent signs of systemic illness (14,000/μL leukocytes, temperature of 38.4°C, etc), whereas Matsuse et al5
noted that patients with DAB very often demonstrated peripheral leukocyte counts < 10,000/μL, and also the majority of these patients were afebrile.5
Even on radiographic grounds, our patient cannot be considered as having DAB: a chest radiograph in DAB shows diffuse small nodular shadows,5–
whereas in our patient chest radiography clearly demonstrated bilateral upper-lobe infiltrates. Consolidation is rare or not a major finding in patients with DAB, and also areas of hyperlucency are usually seen on the chest radiograph. More convincingly, CT scan of the chest in DAB patients revealed small, round opacities located around the end of the bronchovascular branchings in almost all of the lung fields, findings that resemble panbronchiolitis.6
In our patient, chest CT did not detect this diffusely disseminated nodular shadows seen in DAB.

"First of all, I want to give Old Dominion a lot of credit," said head coach Randy Norton. "That is a really good basketball team. They are very talented, well-coached. That was a hard fought battle. I felt like our entire team just really hung in there. Our focus all year has just been to play for 40 minutes. We don't talk about winning. We just talk about playing to the best of our ability. Our motto is play hard, play smart, play together, have fun. It is certainly fun to win on the road."
UAB (11-7, 3-2 C-USA) played a well-balanced game on offense and defense, shooting 44.6 percent from the field and outrebounding Old Dominion (9-10, 2-3 C-USA) 48-36 in the win.
Chapman led the team with 28 points and brought down a career-high 17 rebounds for her fifth consecutive double-double. Grimes added 21 points and dished out a team-high six assists on the night.
"It is a blessing to have two seniors that are very good," remarked Norton. "Karisma Chapman and Ashley Grimes played like seniors tonight. We were on the road and in a tough place to play and I felt like both of them were engaged for 40 minutes. They played hard, were unselfish and I am really proud of them.
The Lady Monarchs opened the game with a three, but an 8-0 run by the Blazers put them in front. UAB would hold on to the lead until the 11:34 mark, when Old Dominion put together 10-2 run to take its largest lead of the game at 27-21.
UAB took advantage of its opportunities under the basket, scoring 33 of its 42 first half points in the paint.
Out of halftime, Old Dominion came out battling and eventually cut the Blazers' lead to five, 53-48, with 13:34 remaining in the game. UAB would not be stopped though, as Chapman put in a layup then Black connected on another three to push the lead back to 10.
ODU's Tiffany Minor countered with a three of her own, but it would be the Lady Monarch's last basket for a while as UAB's defense held them scoreless for seven minutes.
The Blazers scored 15 points during that time to take a 73-51 lead with 4:56 left on the clock. Old Dominion was able to pull within 15, but UAB would not let it any closer and held on to the win to remain undefeated on the road in conference play.
Black finished with 12 points, her fifth-straight game in double figures, and sophomore Dy'Man Webb added eight points off the bench for the Blazers.
Galaisha Goodhope led Old Dominion with 16 points and Shae Kelley added 14. It was just the seventh time this season Kelley was held without a double-double.
UAB will return home to host FIU on Saturday, Jan. 25 at 11:00 a.m. CT. The game will air on Fox Sports.

Justice Department probing GM recall: AP source
By Tom Krisher and Dee-Ann Durbin, AP Thursday, March 13, 2014, 12:10 am TWN
DETROIT--General Motors faced more pressure over its handling of a deadly defect in certain compact cars Tuesday as word leaked of a criminal investigation and two congressional committees opened probes into the matter.
The Justice Department is investigating whether GM broke any laws with its slow response to a problem with ignition switches in compact cars from model years 2003 to 2007, according to a person briefed on the matter. The probe is being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the investigation has not been made public.
Spokesmen for the Justice Department and GM would not comment. The investigation was first reported by Bloomberg News.
At issue is why GM waited until February to recall 1.6 million older-model compact cars worldwide, even though it admitted knowing about the problem for a decade. The faulty ignition switches have been linked to 31 crashes and 13 deaths. Committees in the House and Senate also want to know why the government's road safety watchdog, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, didn't take action sooner.
GM announced last month it will replace ignition switches that can shut off car motors unexpectedly. When that happens, drivers lose power-assisted steering and brakes and can lose control of the cars. The ignition can slip from the run position to accessory or off, due partly to heavy key chains dangling from the steering column.
Also, if the ignition switch isn't in the run position, air bags may not inflate if a crash occurs.
An Associated Press review of a NHTSA database found that drivers started submitting complaints about the problem in early 2005, shortly after the first Chevrolet Cobalt went on sale. The review of complaints about the Cobalt, GM's top-selling small car in the mid-2000s, found 173 instances of engine stalling or air bags failing to deploy, both symptoms of the ignition problem. Many drivers reported problems with keys sticking in the ignition in addition to the stalling.
Fred Upton of Western Michigan, the chairman of the House committee, said in a statement Monday that a hearing will be held in the coming weeks.
Congress passed legislation in 2000 requiring automakers to report safety problems quickly to NHTSA. The laws came after an investigation into a series of Ford-Firestone tire problems.
