Public housing starts set to fall 22 per cent in 2012
Public housing starts are set to reduce by 22 per cent in 2012 and by a further 5 per cent in 2013, according to a forecast by the Construction Products Association.
In 2011 public housing starts fell to 21,110, which was 10 per cent fewer than in 2010 due to an 11 per cent reduction in housing association starts. In contrast public house building by local authorities increased, with starts rising by 12 per cent.
This is thought to be a result of changes to planning policy and the funding mechanism for affordable housing.
The CPA warns that with capital grant reducing significantly over the next two years, affordable housing providers will be forced to find new ways to finance developments.
Private housing starts in 2011 were more positive, climbing 11 per cent year-on-year, and the CPA is predicting 5 per cent growth this year, followed by 11 per cent in 2013. It says further growth will depend on the success of the National planning policy framework and localism agenda.
Overall construction output is set to fall 2.9 per cent in 2012 and the sharp decline in public sector construction is believed to be the key factor.
Data published by the Office for National Statistics yesterday showed the UK has gone back into recession, with falling construction output partly to blame for the second consecutive monthly decline in gross domestic product.
The industry is expected to return to growth only in 2014 and is likely to be driven by private housing and commercial activity.
Michael Ankers, chief executive of the CPA, said: 'With new orders for construction falling significantly at the end of last year, 2012 is going to be a difficult year for the construction industry with output forecast to fall by almost 3 per cent. The construction industry accounts for nearly 9 per cent of GDP and therefore is going to be a major constraint on growth in the wider economy over the year ahead.'

Storm Cat Experiencing Drop in Fertility
- Apr 8, 2008
- Topics:
Storm Cat, for years the No. 1 Thoroughbred stallion, has been experiencing difficulties impregnating his mares this breeding season at the Young's family's Overbrook Farm near Lexington. Fewer than half of the 31 mares that the 25-year-old stallion has covered are in foal.
"We've been dealing with his fertility, but as long as he's comfortable covering mares and we think there's a chance for pregnancy, then we'll continue to breed him," said farm advisor Ric Waldman, who added that Storm Cat's overall health is good, especially for a stallion his age.
The decline in percentage is startling compared to 2007, when Storm Cat impregnated 70% of the 91 mares he covered. "This year the percentage is considerably less," Waldman said.
"We have limited his covers, sometimes breeding him to one mare, other days to two," Waldman added. "Right now, we have no plans to limit him as long as he's comfortable covering them."
Overbrook has taken steps to aid Storm Cat. The breeding shed staff has been collecting dismount samples after Storm Cat breeds, centrifuging the sample, and adding extenders before re-infusing it into the mare.
"But Storm Cat is such a good breeder that there is not much dismount with which to work," Waldman said.
Storm Cat has sired 160 stakes winners. He twice has been the leading sire by year-end progeny earnings and has ranked in the top 15 a total of 13 times. He has stood his entire career at Overbrook, which was founded by William T. Young. Racing as a homebred for Young, Storm Cat won the Young America Stakes and ran second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
Storm Cat's influence is in full force on this year's leading sires list. Three of Storm Cat's sons--Giant's Causeway, Stormy Atlantic, and Tale of the Cat--rank in the top 10.
Overbrook dropped Storm Cat's fee from $500,000 to $300,000 for 2008.

casters are cheap there ,I bought 4 air tire casters for a body dolly at 10.00 ea, they worked great to roll around my camaro while I restored it ,the air tires roll right over bolts and other trash that'll stop solid wheels dead in their tracks...
If your waiting for prices to come down, forget it ,they hit bottom about four years ago and have been slowly rising ever since ...I went to pidgon forge for the car show and it was the very first time I ever saw an outlet with tools so cheap or any kind of Chinese tool discount store and I went crazy with deals like an adjustable tork (where the heck did the spell check button go) reversable air screw driver for 4.99 and ended up spending a couple hundred dollars I still got most of them) and still use them every day at my body shop (prefect for the hobbiest)later on I got the HF E wheel for around 200.00 and it opened a whole new world to me , the world of metal shaping and I feel like a kid again ( cant learn enough ,fast enough).Even buying an old used one was completely out of the question 1500.00 min..so I started collecting all the stuff to make one of my own...(big mistake) I had some small casters from an old floor jack for my anvil wheels and it never would have worked because I never used one ,just saw some pics of them and thougt..I can make that. It wouldnt have worked at all and I would have completely lost intrest ,thinking it was too far over my head.(I'm a bit of an idiot) ...thanks to HF and their cheap tools got got a foot in the door of the metal shaping world...Unfortunately I am completely addicted to it now and thanks to sites like metalmeet .com and all metal I'm now ready to build a real E wheel that works ,not to mention my powerd bead rollerand a few other goodies...
I was in HF just today to buy the 5' extended die grinder and had to pay 49.99 but I had to have it for one particular job ...I noticed the same screw driver i bought for 4.99 a few years ago was now on sale for 19.99..The economy is getting better looking forward to the next prez so dont wait to get that 800.00 box but get the 20% off coupon and enjoy ,it'll never be this cheap again

Technical Abstract: Living cells respond to environmental stresses by up-regulating specific subsets of genes while down-regulating others. Global approaches to identifying these different groups of genes have been successfully applied to several plant systems. However, certain limitations restrict the degree to which each approach is successful in documenting differences in expression. For example, microarray analysis is restricted to previously isolated genes and does not allow identification of unique, undiscovered genes that might be crucial to the response being studied. EST library approaches overcome this problem, but are labor intensive and target for the most part genes that are moderately-to-highly abundant. One approach that overcomes these limitations is the synthesis of gene libraries after subtractive hybridization. By subtracting cDNAs synthesized from RNAs expressed in one state from cDNAs derived from RNAs expressed in another state, one can obtain sequences up-regulated in the first state relative to the second, since sequences in common are removed by hybridization. By varying which cDNA serves as the driver of the hybridization reaction, one can obtain both up-regulated (forward subtraction) and down-regulated (reverse subtraction) in response to a given condition. In an effort to profile gene expression at different temperatures under different photoperiods, we have created subtracted libraries from peach (Prunus persica) bark tissues sampled from trees kept at 5ºC and 25ºC under a short day (SD) photoperiod or exposed to a night break (NB) interruption during the dark period of the SD cycle. Sequences expressed in forward and reverse subtractions using various subtracted combinations of temperature and photoperiod treatments were cloned, sequenced, and identified by BLAST analysis. The results will be discussed relative to known or predicted functions of the gene products identified and their association with the various treatments analyzed.

How is everyone doing? I am telling you what, I cannot wait for Nov 9th. I'll be done with my school observations and might even get a day to take a nap!
Kelly - I like the idea of a nap! My work schedule has been heavier than normal for the last few weeks but I have been making good progress on my round for Nancy's center.
I managed to work on my Row among other things. My Honey Dude has been on vacation so we have had good time doing what we needed to do but together.
Sounds like fun Melody.....with the storm headed in this weekend I might be able to get some work done on mine!
How's life treating everyone?
I just started my second row for the other group - I'm hoping I'll have it ready to mail by Monday. I'm going to mail them out together, so Dragonfly, I will post my tracking code once it has left my house!
How did everyone fare between Sandy, the East-Coast Blizzard, and Brutus (that was the north-western blizzard we had last week)? We've got a Chinook wind coming in that is melting the snow and makes it almost nice outside (40F+) and so I'm having a much easier time driving around now that it's slush, not ice. We got close to 2 feet of snow in a 36 hour period last week... I was doing classroom observations out in the mountains (literally) and was so lucky to only have to make a return drive in that garbage - and it was my last day of observations, too! Today is my first real day off since the beginning of the semester and I've been working on my row for group #5 and catching up on homework early.
Thursday night is the opening of the final Twilight movie and I've already got my 12:01 am tickets! I cannot wait!
Package departing to Dragonfly Nana
Tracking Code: 9405 9036 9930 0074 6946 14
Scheduled pickup for this afternoon!
Kelly, your packaged arrived safe and sound. I just got home from an emergency trip to PA and it was waiting for me - so very pretty!
Yea! Take your time recuperating! I'm off to go do some final projects!
Hey Kelly - You used very pale colors in your row - Would you mind some darker colors in my row? I have a great chocolate and blue fabric I was thinking of using but wanted to check you preferences first.
If you prefer to stay in the pale shades that is cool too.

Legacies: Wonders never cease in the Obama era. "Post Communist" Russia is preserving Lenin's Tomb, while the educational institution most associated with Reaganomics is set to demolish Ronald Reagan's boyhood home.
Ex-KGB officer and "elected" Russian President Vladimir Putin wants the body of Vladimir Lenin, the murderous founder of the Soviet state, preserved in its place of honor in Red Square. Addressing supporters this week, Putin even compared Lenin's bones to the treasured relics of Russian saints.
Communism was responsible for more genocide in the 20th century — well over 100 million souls — than even its despicable totalitarian cousin, Nazism. Chairman Mao in China beats out Lenin, his successor Stalin, and Hitler in total number of deaths, but Lenin can still be blamed for the slaughter of many millions of his own people.
A truly free Russia would cart Lenin's body to the nearest garbage dump. Yet in the Land of the Free, how are we honoring the man who could rightly be called the world's anti-Lenin, Ronald Reagan?
By now the president who won the Cold War and made it morning again in America should have been added onto the face of Mount Rushmore. Instead, as reported by the late president's associate, Peter Hannaford, in the American Spectator, the University of Chicago is poised to demolish Reagan's early childhood home in the city's Hyde Park neighborhood.
Hannaford notes that in 1915 the Reagans "rented a cold-water flat in a four-story apartment building at 832 East 57th Street" when the future president was about 4 years old. Reagan later reminisced "about the thrill of seeing horses pulling the fire wagon down the street at a gallop." And "while living in Chicago he also nearly died from a serious case of pneumonia."
It is beyond ironic that the University of Chicago, of all institutions, whose medical school owns the land, could contemplate replacing this landmark "with a grassy strip bordering what will be a new parking lot."
The Chicago school of economics, whose most famous exponent was Nobel laureate Milton Friedman, laid the monetarist intellectual groundwork for Reagan's economic policies of sound money and low taxes, which saved America from the Jimmy Carter malaise.
If the Obama era means we have a world that is beginning to say yes to Lenin and utopian Big Government, and no to Reagan's recognition that government is the problem, we're in more trouble than we know.

Leaders need to understand their world in order to influence it. This requires sharp sense-making skills.

Injured teen dies from earlier crash
RANDALL — Seventeen-year-old Charles Mellema died Saturday from injuries he sustained in a crash shortly before 11 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of West Sixth Street and Superior Avenue.
Chief Charles Strack of the Randall Police Department received a report of the accident with injuries. Upon arrival, first responders observed two vehicles in the ditch. One of the vehicles had a power pole on top of it. The driver of that vehicle, Mellema, was injured and pinned in the car. The driver of the other vehicle, 54-year-old Helen Pfeffer, was also injured.
Pfeffer was driving west on West 6th Street approaching the intersection of Superior Avenue, and Mellema was driving north on Superior Avenue, the Randall Police Department report stated. It appeared Mellema failed to stop for the stop sign and entered the intersection in front of Pfeffer's vehicle when they collided, according to the report.
Mellema was taken by ambulance to St. Gabriel's Hospital and then airlifted to St. Cloud Hospital.
Pfeffer was driven by private party to St. Gabriel's Hospital for treatment of her injuries. She was later released from St. Gabriel's.
Randall Police Department was assisted by Morrison County Sheriff's Office, Randall First Response, Randall Fire Department and Gold Cross Ambulance.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Red Sox road trip was a quick three-game set in Philadelphia and they return home this week for more interleague play, with the Marlins and Braves. The Marlins jumped out of the gates quickly, but have stumbled recently and will probably hold another midsummer fire-sale, similar to the deal that netted the Red Sox Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell, though they came in the off-season version of the move that cost the Red Sox Hanley Ramirez and Anibal Sanchez.
The most memorable Red Sox-Marlins game in their brief history was probably the 25-8 Red Sox win in 2003, which saw 14 first inning runs for the Red Sox in their 28-hit assault. Byung-Hyun Kim beat Carl Pavano and Johnny Damon had five hits for the Red Sox, who only hit three home runs to reach 25 total runs.
Now, back to this series. Tim Wakefield will oppose Chris Volstad (4-6, 4.07 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 59 K), one of the Marlins' young pitchers, who they believe has big star potential. Brad Penny will face Andrew Miller (2-2, 4.30, 1.50, 37) and Jon Lester matches up with Ricky Nolasco (2-6, 7.62, 1.73, 50), who at age 26 is the oldest starter in the rotation. He was recently recalled from a minor league stint after a tough start to the season, but has allowed only four runs in 13 innings since his return to the majors.
The always cash-strapped Fish are young all over the field and perennially seem to be building for the future, but the kids on the pitching staff are leading the majors in strikeouts with 501 (the Sox are second with 493). Ramirez is their offensive leader with a .330 batting average, 20 2B, 8 HR, 34 RBI, 38 R, and 9 SB, despite being off to a slow start and rumors he was not putting forth the proper effort.
Dan Uggla leads the team with 11 home runs, but his .218 average is lowest on the team among regulars. Cody Ross, Jorge Cantu, and Jeremy Hermida also have some pop on a team with a balanced, though unspectacular, offense.
The Marlins, playing in Fenway, will also have to come up with a ninth bat in the lineup, and with a team not offensively deep, is an overlooked advantage for the Red Sox. The Marlins will be very overmatched in this series and the Red Sox should get the sweep and build that AL East lead.

I'll be seeing Hanley live on Thursday (weather permitting).
With all the SS problems we have now, the Hanley deal isn't looking too well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we won a World Series because of the contributions of Beckett and Lowell, but come on, wouldn't you love to see Hanley playing next to Pedroia, Youkilis, and (eventually) Lars Anderson? What a homegrown infield that would have been.
Hanley Ramirez, Marlins Roll Into Fenway Park: The Red Sox road trip was a quick three-game set in Philadelphia .. http://tinyurl.com/m7aruz
What an absurd comment! Never in a million years do you sacrifice the chance at a World Series win. I wouldn't trade winning the WS for any prospect in any circumstance.
Anyway, the Marlins won't be able to afford him and you may get your homegrown infield with Hanley included when we buy him/trade for him.
My guess is that by the time he gets a new contract, he'll be moved to the outfield anyway.
I would have loved that infield, but getting Beckett AND Lowell (who the Marlins just threw in for financial reasons) was an absolute steal. I would do that deal again, but hopefully, we can get him back in the future 🙂
I'd love to see Hanley back in the Sox uniform, but I don't think we'll be seeing it anytime soon.
KC has a point about the WS wins, but come on…wouldn't you rather have the top fantasy guy on your team rather than a WS ring?
haha Chris are you being facetious?
Hanley or Lugo?

A/c leak causes o2 sensor failure
After doing some maintenece and intake cleaning, I took the Jeep for a spirited drive to get the last of the Seafoam smoke out. On my way back the a/c stops working then a few minutes later a check engine light comes on.
So I put it up on ramps and start looking around. First thing I find out of the ordinary is this neon yellow (think highlighter) fluid coming out of what looks like a small drain spout at the base of the passenger side firewall. Its all over, and soaking the lead wire going to the 2/1 o2 sensor. So I take it to O'Reillys and have the codes pulled.. P0175: system too rich, bank 2. P0151: O2 circuit low voltage bank 2 sensor 1. Ok it seems this fluid seeped into the wiring of the o2 and ruined it.
I can only assume this fluid is an a/c system dye or sealant, which means the previous owner was patching a problem. My thought is the evaporator core given the sudden failure and location of the leak. That won't be a fun repair, but I know I can take the dash out without breaking anything.
For the o2, can anyone chime in with the best way to get at it? This is passenger side pre-cat. My o2 sensor socket is a deep well with a slot and even with two swivels I can't get a good angle on it. Better to drop the y-pipe? I don't want to stress the manifold bolts and create another problem. Or give it to an exhaust shop and have them do it while welding a new muffler in (next mod)?
I gotta believe someone here has had to change this sensor. Any advice?
Re: A/c leak causes o2 sensor failure
The Seafoam could have caused the problem too. It's job is to clean out the combustion tract. Any contamination that it does clean out has to go past the O2's and the cats. Your "spirited" runs could have had adverse effects. The O2's are vented to the atmosphere through the plugs and wire insulation, so this is indeed a possibility that contamination has gotten into the sensor that way. It would be nice if you could get mv readings on all the other O2's also, to see if any others may be contaminated. Keep us posted.
As far as removing the plug/sensor, removing the "Y" pipe is the easiest way to go. Lot fewer cuss words and bashed knuckles.
Re: A/c leak causes o2 sensor failure
Thats true, Seafoam could be a culprit. I am considering replacing all of them if the pipe comes out. The sensors have Denso written on them.. I'll have to see if those are oem and what the best replacements are. I know the 5.7 is supposed to use NGK but I have not seen much posted about o2 sensors for the 4.7.
Re: A/c leak causes o2 sensor failure
denso is oem.
the seafoam is likely the cause for your codes, drive the piss out of it, clear the codes and you will likely be good.
the neon yellow stuff is simply dye which is installed during most services or repairs, our pag oil is mixed with dye so when we add any oil we are adding dye. Its not an indication of a stop leak agent.
Re: A/c leak causes o2 sensor failure
It took a couple rounds of clearing the code, but it hasn't come back in the last 75mi.
See I'm used to GM where the light meant failure, not "drive it harder and it'll go away". Lol
Now.. About that evap core. Sigh.
Re: A/c leak causes o2 sensor failure
ANY car will have issues when you suck in random chemical "A" into it... WHEN it has issues with it its just a matter of if the issues it causes cause a sensor to deviate from where it should be beyond a set threshold... when the chemical you make it injest causes a sensor to see outside of the threshold you get the CEL... and that can take some good ol' fashion lead foot driving to clean/burn all the crap out scewing the sensor reading and viola.
Re: A/c leak causes o2 sensor failure
Yeah what threw me was that it was just one of the pre-cat sensors that threw a code, and that sensor was also the one soaked in evaporator barf. False cause and effect I guess.

Whether you opt for on-campus housing or find an
apartment nearby, it won't take long to feel at home.
Many first-year students live on campus in one of the IIT residence halls, which include the McCormick Student Village and State Street Village. Both offer fully furnished rooms and common areas.
Returning students usually live independently in nearby Bronzeville and Bridgeport - see the map below for Shimer's surrounding neighborhoods.
Housing in Chicago, compared to other major cities, is surprisingly reasonable and easy to find. Craigslist, the Chicago Reader, and local apartment-finding services offer plenty of listings, though a stroll around the area may also yield promising leads.

Experience luxurious water through diamond technology
We've revolutionized the way hot tub owners care for their water by offering the first and only integrated salt water sanitizing system using diamond technology. The ACE system automatically generates five cleaners for an easier more hands-free approach to water care.
Water care made easy
Hot Spring Spas has revolutionized the way to clean spa water with the exclusive ACE salt water sanitizing system. The optional ACE system is available on all Hot Spring spas. This innovative system uses diamond technology to automatically create a variety of powerful and effective cleaners from just a small amount of salt and your spa's water.
The ACE system uses a diamond electrode that, when energized, breaks apart water molecules to create active oxygen. Active oxygen is one of the world's most effective natural cleaners and is the first way the ACE system automatically cleans the water. The active oxygen then combines with salt and other elements in water to create chlorine and other oxidizers.
Since the ACE system automatically generates cleaners, you'll have fewer bottled products to measure and pour. This more hands-free approach saves you time, so it's easier than ever to care for your Hot Spring spa.

Ergonomic 4-way front and back baby carrier
Baby Carrier Original
- Small and easy to use
- Can be used from 8 lbs – no insert needed
Small and easy to use
You can easily put on or take off the carrier yourself without assistance. This is particularly useful when you are putting your baby to bed. When your baby falls asleep in the carrier, just unfasten the side buckles to open up the front part of the carrier. There's no need to wake your baby.
Product Description
Close to your heart since 1973
Our first baby carrier was developed back in 1973. It was designed to maximize the closeness between the child and the parent, right from birth. The Baby Carrier Original is based on the treasured classic from 1973 and over the years it has enabled millions of children and parents to enjoy that all-important closeness every single day.
Upright position
The Baby Carrier Original is anatomically designed to be used from 3,5 kg without an infant insert. The upright position keeps the airways free and allows you to supervise your small child's breathing. Free arms and legs Legs and arms can move freely in the carrier, allowing your child to develop muscles, motor skills and balance.
All-important head support
Imagine if your head weighed a third of your entire body weight! That's how it is for newborns. Newborn babies are not strong enough to hold their heads up without support for the first five months. Just like our other baby carriers, this baby carrier can be adjusted to provide your baby with the correct head and neck support. The Baby Carrier Original provides you with all-important closeness and helps you to form a close bond with your newborn. You carry your baby high up on your chest and facing you, close to your heart. The warmth from your body and the familiar sound of your heart and your voice will make your baby feel calm and secure, while you learn to interpret your baby's needs.
Comfortable and secure in an instant
With the Baby Carrier Original, you only need to fasten a few buckles to carry your baby comfortably and securely. The color-coded buckles and safety click will ensure that you fasten the baby carrier correctly. The baby carrier can be easily adjusted for that perfect fit. Great when you and your partner want to share the load!
Outward-facing option
We recommend you to carry your child facing you for the first five months. Once your child's neck, back and hips are strong enough, you can start carrying your child facing both inwards and outwards. Most babies delight in discovering the world while safely resting against your chest.

saw someone else doing this and thought it was a great idea!! just posting sightings and possibly finding someone else on here.
well, I have one from last tuesday I have been meaning to post. It was about 5:30pm on I 285 going towards coweta county. The car was a zx3, liquid gray, and debadged. If you were the driver, you might remember some white boy in the backseat of a gray explorer giving the thumbs up as you were getting off 285.
This past weekend i was at Peachtree Mall here in Columbus getting in my car and I saw a Red SVT Focus drive by. So if the driver is on this forum hit me up.
Ok here are a few of my sightings from Orlando
yellow ZX3 with a body kit looked like a buddy club driving east on lakeunderhill and dean
gray ZX3 with a lip kit driving west on HWY 50 heading towards 436
last a red SVT on aloma in winterpark
i saw a blue svt yesterday driving around with a green hatch back civic over by hollywood connection. then i saw a silver svt in phenix city at super wal-mart as well.

Volleyball Fundraiser For Peyton Coming August 28
In August of 2001, the world changed for Patrick "Peyton" Tansey. The young boy, who had been born to a Belle Harbor firefighter and his wife in June of 2001, was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a genetic disease in which the neurons that make the connections between brain and muscle were missing a vital protein. For the Tansey family, the diagnosis was like a death sentence. They were told that there is no treatment for the symptoms of SMA, no cure and little hope. Most victims of the muscular disease die before age 2.
Peyton, however, beat the odds, turning 10 years old in June, and his friends and family are fighting not only for a cure, but to bring awareness to the disease, which strikes 1 in every 6,000 births. On August 28, the nonprofit organization started by his mom, Jacqueline Tansey, called Pathways for Peyton, will hold a beach volleyball tournament, what Peyton himself calls a "funraiser" at Riis Park to both raise funds for research and to bring muchneeded light to the disease. It is clear that while SMA impacts motor skills and more, it does not impact intellectual growth.Tansey and the event coordinator, Cynthia Clifford, another Belle Harbor woman, came to The Wave to talk about the fundraiser.
"We want to build pathways for children like Peyton, children with disabilities," his mother says. "If we provide access for normality to these kids now, we will allow them to be productive citizens when they grow up." She points to the Beach Mat on the beachfront in Belle Harbor where the family lives. "The mat allows not only Peyton to access the water with his wheelchair, but it gives many elderly people the same accessibility," she says. "It might not sound like much, but it's very important to a lot of people."
She pointed to one woman with joint problems that had not been to the ocean for years, but was able to get to the water with the beach mat."
The fundraiser will be held on August 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. She urges even those who don't want to play volleyball to come and share the fun with the family.
"This is a family-oriented event," Clifford says. "Teams will be divided by levels of play. There will be competitive four-person teams and recreational six-person teams." In addition, she says, there will be a children's volleyball clinic and other fun things for kids.
Clifford urges teams from the NYPD and FDNY to come down and get competitive. A number of local organizations and businesses are sponsors of the day's events, including the RIB's Foundation, Boardwalk Bagels, Rockaway WISH and Friends of Fire-fighters. Entertainment will be provided by DJ Tommy Tunes and NY Kids Time.
Those who want to participate in the fundraiser can do so by registering at www.pathwaysforpeyton.org. (See ad pg. 14).

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Michael Moore takes a lot of heat for his showboating. Even before the release of his latest film, Sicko, he was attacked for taking 9/11 rescue workers to Cuba to get medical treatment that the federal government had refused to provide. Like most Moore stunts, it made his pointwhile simultaneously eroding his credibility. But at a recent sneak preview of the film, it was clear that for all his bombast and ego, Moore has developed a cinematic style that can bring radical ideas to mass audiences. With Sicko, he's tapping into popular outrage over health care just as national and state politicians are weighing in with proposals for reform. It may be Moore's best shot yet of actually influencing policy.
Sicko's Sacramento premiere, sponsored by the California nurses' union, offered an unusual opportunity to march to a movie theater from a protest rally. Earlier in the day, Moore and three of Sicko's protagonists were star witnesses at a state Senate briefing on health care reform. Before a roomful of nurses wearing red Sicko-themed scrubs, Moore began his testimony with genuine humility, describing how the film grew out of a short segment on Bravo about a man who had a necessary pancreas transplant denied by his HMO, which resulted in the HMO approving the transplant. "I began to think at that moment," Moore explained, "if we could save one man's life in ten minutes with nothing more than this tool, this camera and a microphone, what else could we do?"
His testimony reached a crescendo when he declared, "We're the only country in the western world that doesn't believe it is a human right to provide free universal health coverage for every one of its citizens. And we're the only country—this is what is so amazing, isn't it? Because we're all Americans .We're a good people, we have a good heart and a good soul and we have a conscience . [But we] allow 9 million of our children to go uninsured . What is wrong with us? That's not who we are, that's not what we used to be about!" Moore didn't just tap into his usual patriotic populism; he also sang California's praises and urged the state to "lead the way again." During his testimony, most people in the audience cried, gave a standing ovation, or both.
Moore didn't come to California's capital just to advocate for insuring more Americans. The sneak preview was offered in support of a bill by State Senator Sheila Kuehl that would create a single-payer system in the state, the only one of four reform proposals now on the table that would do so. Moore is clearly also hoping that his film will fuel a national push toward government-funded healthcare. For that reason, Sicko avoids stories about the uninsured and instead focuses on the tragedies profit-driven private insurance companies cause among insured, middle-class Americans. But a single-payer system is a hard sell. So, while Sicko indulges in its expected share of grandstanding and emotional manipulation to make its point, Moore had to employ his significant powers of persuasionwhether earnest or manipulativeto give his film a shot at affecting health care policy.
Sicko profiles Americans who are forced into financial despair, illness, or death by the unjust limitations of their health insurance programs. It presents tear-jerking tragedies like those of Dawnelle Keys, whose 18-month-old daughter died of an infection treatable with antibiotics after Kaiser refused to authorize payment at the "out-of-network" hospital to which the ambulance rushed her. Moore's long shot of the wornand noticeably thinscrapbook that is all Keys has left of her daughter manages to balance emotional theatrics with genuine tenderness.
Moore also milks the humor of insurance-company irrationality. Sicko features Becky Malke, an employee at an insurance call center, who tearfully explains how she must reject applications from anyone with illnesses on a list of disqualifying preexisting conditions. "How long is that list?" Moore asks. Malke answers sheepishly, "It's pretty long." Cue up the Star Wars theme song as the encyclopedic list scrolls up the screen and into outer space. Another woman tells how her ambulance ride from a car accident to the hospital was denied because she failed to have it preapproved. The audience's knowing laughter drives home the point that most Americanseven those who become apoplectic at the idea of a single-payer systemare fed up with insurance companies' Kafkaesque bureaucracies.
For contrast, Moore interviews happy, healthy Europeans and Canadians who express satisfaction with their government-funded systems. Unexpectedly, the film's most persuasive emotional note was hit by the dry humor generated by their bafflement at our plight. The film opens with the story of an American man who cut off two fingertips with a circular saw. Uninsured, he can only afford to reattach one. Later, Moore meets a Canadian who cut off four fingers entirely. He was rushed to the hospital and underwent 24 hours of surgery; all four were successfully reattached. As Moore tells him about his American counterpart, the camera zooms in on the man's brow: a tiny, confused furrow. The audience doesn't need any more to burst into brittle laughter.
Still, it's hard not to see Moore as self-aggrandizing at times. The film includes a long shot of him floating in a powerboat at the edge of Guantanamo Bay, flanked by 9/11 rescue workers, using a bullhorn to reason with an apparently empty watchtower. Moore declares that he's only asking that the rescue workers receive the same for the same preventive care that the government gives the Gitmo detainees. There's also a scene where Moore documents his "anonymous" payment to the author of the anti-Moore website, Moorewatch.com. In the filmmaker's version, his detractor had announced that he would have to choose between maintaining the site and paying for his sick wife's mounting health insurance premiums. (The detractor has not been mollified and slams Moore's version as yet another self-serving misrepresentation.)
But Moore deserves credit for pioneering the documentary film as a genre capable of mass appeal and for using his films as engines for change. Sicko may just prove a more effective catalyst than Farenheit 9/11. The takeaway message of that filmthat George W. Bush is a bad president and the United States shouldn't ally itself with Saudi Arabiawas far less inspirational than Sicko's call for Americans to take pride in their country by helping one another. Moore certainly has the public's attention; it will be fascinating to see if he manages to sell enough conservatives on his message to force politicians to offer more than a Band-Aid for the healthcare crisis.

An Autobiography HTML version
could have done if he had been manager of a bank. Everybody speculated--in mines, in
land, and in leases. I was earning by my pen a very decent income, and I spent it,
sometimes wisely and sometimes foolishly. I could be liberal to church and to good
causes. I was able to keep a dear little State child at school for two years after the
regulation age, and I was amply repaid by seeing her afterwards an honoured wife and
mother, able to assist her children and their companions with their lessons. I helped some
lame dogs over the stile. One among them was a young American of brilliant scholastic
attainments, who was the victim of hereditary alcoholism. His mother, a saintly and noble
prohibitionist worker, whom I afterwards met in America, had heard of me, and wrote
asking me to keep a watchful eye on her boy. This I did for about 12 months, and found
him employment. He held a science degree, and was an authority on mineralogy,
metallurgy, and kindred subjects. During this speculative period he persuaded me to
plunge (rather wildly for me) in mining shares. I plunged to the extent of 500 pounds, and
I owe it to the good sense and practical ability of my nephew that I lost no more heavily
than I did, for he paid 100 pounds to let me off my bargain.
My protege continued to visit me weekly, and we wrote to one another once a week or
oftener. The books I lent to him I know to this day by their colour and the smell of
tobacco. I wrote to his mother regularly, and consulted with his good friend, Mr.
Waterhouse, over what was best to be done. One bad outburst he had when he had got
some money through me to pay off liabilities. I recollect his penitent, despairing
confession, with the reference to Edwin Arnold's poem
He who died at Azun gave
This to those who dug his grave.
The time came when I felt I could hold him no longer, although that escapade was
forgiven, and I determined to send him to his mother--not without misgivings about what
she might have still to suffer. He wrote to me occasionally. His health was never good,
and I attribute the craving for drink and excitement a good deal to physical causes; but at
the same time I am sure that he could have withstood it by a more resolute will. The will
is the character--it is the real man. When people say that the first thing in education is to
break the will, they make a radical mistake. Train the will to work according to the
dictates of an enlightened conscience, for it is all we have to trust to for the stability of
character. My poor lad called me his Australian mother. When I saw his real mother, I
wondered more and more what sort of a husband she had, or what atavism Edward drew
from to produce a character so unlike hers. I heard nothing from herself of what she went
through, but from her friends I gathered that he had several outbreaks, and cost her far
more than she could afford. She paid everything that he owed in Adelaide, except her
debt to me, but that I was repaid after her death in 1905, and she always felt that I had
been a true friend to her wayward son. I recollect one day my friend coming on his
weekly visit with a face of woe to tell me he had seen a man in dirt and rags, with half a
shirt, who had been well acquainted with Charles Dickens and other notables in London.
My friend had fed him and clothed him, but he wanted to return to England to rich
friends. I wrote to a few good folk, and we raised the money and sent the wastrel to the
old country. How grateful he appeared to be, especially to the kind people who had taken

Orange County Animal Services Reminds Families to Include Pets in Hurricane Prep Plans.
While the Orange County Office of Emergency Management is closely monitoring the track of Hurricane Matthew, Orange County Animal Services is urging residents to include pets in their disaster plans
"We often find that residents simply do not think that a storm will impact them, and therefore do not have a disaster plan, or do not include their pets in those plans. But the best way a family can protect themselves, along with their four-legged friends is to be prepared. We are asking that everyone please don't forget their furry friends in emergency disaster plans," says Dil Luther, Orange County Animal Services Division Manager. It is vital that in the event of an emergency, families and their pets know where they will go, what they need to bring for their four-legged family members, as well as have a two-week supply of food for their pets."
Although Orange County is NOT under evacuation orders, residents are encouraged to be prepared for Hurricane Matthew.

Meaningful Use
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs provide financial incentives for the meaningful use of certified EHR technology to improve patient care.
To receive an EHR incentive, you must show that you're using your EHR system in a meaningful way by meeting specific requirements. These requirements, or objectives, have been established by CMS for eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs).
There are three stages of objectives with increasing requirements for participation in the program. Providers must attest to demonstrating meaningful use every year to receive an incentive and avoid Medicare payment adjustments.
MU - Who is Eligible? >>

Services, Eligibility and Benefits
The LHIT Resource Center, as a trusted advisor, offers a wide scope of services based on the provider's current level of EHR adoption. These services include:
In addition to these services, the LHIT Resource Center offers customized service options tailored to meet the specific needs of your practice. This may include any of the services listed above with regard to any stage of Meaningful Use.
All Louisiana health care providers are eligible for services, which are provided at reasonable fees. Providers that meet federal priority primary care provider (PPCP) qualification standards may be eligible to receive discounted services.
Discounted services are also available to eligible specialty care providers through the Medicaid Specialists Program. These specialty care providers must have 30 percent or greater Medicaid patient volume; must not have received a Year 2 payment from Medicaid; and must not be under another contract for REC direct assistance.
Benefits of LHIT Resource Center services include:
Management of project timelines, expectations and accountability for contract requirements
Access to a neutral, credible source for information on health IT and EHRs
Continued support to your practice beyond EHR installation and meaningful use achievement
Guidance through all stages of meaningful use

text: Last year I replaced my speakers on my 04 wrx with Polk db521s 5.25" in the front with db401 4" in the rear running off my pioneer avic d3 head unit that's rated 50w x 4. I'm planning on replacing the front speakers with Polk mm5251 5.25" components that are 90w RMS at 2.7 ohms and wanted to run them and possibly the rear speakers which are 45w at 4 ohms off an amp. My brother has a hifonics zues zxi80.4 that he doesn't need anymore. It's rated at 160 x 4 at 2 ohms and 80 x 4 at 4 ohms and 320w x 2 mono bridged at 2 ohms I was wondering if I'd be able to run the fronts and rears together off the amp or if it would even be possible with this amp? Just want to figure out my options for an amp before I buy anything. Also would it be possible to run the components and a subwoofer bridged over the other channels and just keep running my rear speakers off the headunit. Can anyone help me I'm lost

When shopping for a big ticket item, such as a television, there is a checklist of things you should always do:
If you're uncomfortable with No. 3, you have other options. You can ride up and down the escalator, play a few games using the Wii Fit, or just go shopping immediately following your yoga class.
A new BYU study finds that consumers experiencing a heightened sense of balance are more likely to weigh the options and go with a product that falls in the middle of the high-end, low-end scale.
"If you're someone who tends to overspend, or you're kind of an extreme person, then maybe you ought to consider shopping in high heels," said study author Jeffrey Larson, a BYU marketing professor.
Larson and BYU coauthor Darron Billeter have discovered that most anything that forces your mind to focus on balance affects your shopping choices as well.
In the example of the TV, balancing consumers are more likely to go with the 42-inch TV for $450 rather than the $300 32-inch set or the 50-inch screen for $650.
The study is part of an emerging area of research that examines the relationship between physical sensations and decision making. Previous studies have looked at the role of warmth, weight and hunger.
For their study, appearing in the current issue of the Journal of Marketing Research, the Marriott School authors set up experiments where balance was introduced to the consumer experience, including:
Other elements that could have similar effects but were not included in the experiments include making purchase decisions while on a cruise ship or walking on icy sidewalks during winter shopping.
The authors say the most important takeaway from their study is that people should be aware of how physical forces can change the way we think about things.
"We need to sit back for a minute and consider, 'Is this really what I want, or are the shoes I'm wearing influencing my choice?'" Billeter said. "We need to be more aware of what is influencing our choices."
The results of the study, the authors write, demonstrate that influential cognitive processes are at play as people stumble through life, regardless of whether those stumblings are literal or metaphorical.

very weird suburb because it really isn't a suburb. It's part of
Copenhagen. However, it started out as an independent town so it still
has it's own name and zip code. That being said, it's home to the
Copenhagen Zoo. It's one of the oldest zoos in the world, opening in
1859. According to the website, it's first exhibits were stuffed
birds, a seal in a bathtub, and a turtle in a bucket.
Obviously they've expanded a bit since then...and improved on more humane treatment of animals!
It's actually a really large and very nice zoo although it was
ridiculously crowded. Probably one of the last nice weekend days
Copenhagen will have and I was practically run over by the HUGE baby
carriages everyone has. There were also lots of baby animals this time
of year and, surprisingly, most of the animals were awake and doing
The first animals I saw were these monkeys. I forgot there was a video
function on my camera because I should have caught the sound they were
making. At first, I thought it was some really obnoxious kid whooping
and making ridiculous noises. You could hear them through half the zoo.
Since it's a Scandinavian zoo, it also had it's share of arctic animals
including reindeer and polar bears.
They also are supposed to have the only tasmanian devil outside of
Australia but I never seemed to find it. My favorite animals were the
tamarins. They are kinda monkey like and there were about five
different type of them. The funniest looking are the emperor
tamarins. This very PC name is a play on the Chinese emperor's
mustaches as they have the exact same kind. I wasn't able to get a
good picture though.
One of the most interesting exhibits was in the dark nocturnal house.
First of all, the bats were just creepy as they had a large cave area
with huge pains of very clean glass to look in on them. It gave the
sensation that all the bats were out in the middle of the room when you
first walked in and they were swooping right at you. The other
nocturnal exhibit was for rats. That's right...everyday common sewer
rats. I was confused at first as to why there appeared to be a sewer
through the viewing windows. They had actually built the rats an exact
replica of the sewers...nice. The pictures are a little
One more weird animal...
It has the legs of a zebra. And it's just...weird.
Finally, I went in search of the hippos. Tommy told me there were
hippos. Apparently Tommy isn't too smart because by hippos he really
meant elephants. Well, of course they have elephants. What zoo
doesn't? So I searched in vain through the brand new African safari
area of the zoo and while looking at the brand new modern building
undergoing the last touch-ups before opening, I found a sign for the
Basically, it says that a new state-of-the-art hippo house is being
built including an underwater viewing room. It will open on the 12th
of October...one week later than I had chosen to go. Also, it cost me
120 kr to get in but the night of the 12th is Copenhagen's Culture
Night. Entrance to the zoo would also be free. Unfortuantely, I'm
leaving for Budapest that night or I would go. And it was fun
anyways. I'll also get to visit the Vienna Zoo later this week. I get
to choose between a palace and the zoo...and palaces are only so
exciting. Plus, they are one of a handful of zoos to have pandas!
