Caregivers of Alzheimer's patients are often so overwhelmed they neglect their own physical, mental and emotional well-being. The Vetter Family Alzheimer's Fund at Saint Michael's Foundation will try to prevent this for local caregivers by providing respite-specific funding to those who cannot afford specific adult day programs, in-home assistance, meal delivery, and visiting nurse assistance.
The Vetter Family Alzheimer's Fund was established by Hans and Sherri Vetter in memory of their sister, Mary Vetter Murphree and in honor of Ginger Vetter McDevitt.
One family, two vibrant, beautiful, and smart sisters afflicted by Alzheimer's. Both of these sisters had loving companions and family members who cared for them during their journey with Alzheimer's.
"We've seen first-hand how Alzheimer's affects a family," shared Sherri Vetter. "Not only did we want to honor Mary and Ginger, but we want to be able to offer caregivers a means of relief so they can stay healthy."
Mary Vetter Murphree passed away in 2011 and left a loving husband and caretaker behind. Ginger's husband of 50 years continues to provide care for her through the progression of her disease.
Saint Michael's Foundation raises funds for programs and services geared to enhance the quality of health care services for patients and families served by Ministry Saint Michael's Hospital and Ministry Medical Group. Funds are used to establish new programs and initiatives, purchase clinical equipment and provide health-related educational support.

Former Eastwood teacher sentenced to 4 years in prison for having sex with students
EL PASO, Texas - The former Eastwood High teacher found guilty of sexual assault and having an inappropriate relationship with a student has been sentenced to four years in prison.
Christopher Miranda will also have to serve 10 years probation.
One of Miranda's accusers, now 20 years old, took the stand during the trial. The woman told jurors what happened the night of the assault.
She said Miranda invited her to hang out via a text message and he picked her up at her parents home.
She said she sneaked out through the back door. Miranda took her to his parents house and they went straight up to his upstairs bedroom, the woman said.
She said he started to kiss her and would not stop when she told him to.
"I told him that's not why I'm here. He proceeded. He didn't stop. He continued. He lifted me and put me in the middle of the bed."
A jury found Miranda guilty of two counts of improper relationship between a student and educator, one count of sexual assault of a child and one count of sexual performance by a child.
He face two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 for each count.
The jury found him not guilty of one count of improper relationship between a student and educator, one count of sexual assault of a child and two counts of sexual performance by a child.
Miranda worked at Eastwood High School from June 2007 to February 2013 and was an assistant gymnastics coach.
He also started as a full-time substitute teacher in Aug. 2011 before he became a teacher of career and technology in Jan. 2012.
During the trial, prosecutors played a taped recording between Miranda and an Ysleta ISD official. In the recording, Miranda is heard admitting to having a sexual relationship with three students.

I own a 04' wrx sedan with 67,000 miles.
I have noticed oil leaking from a silver metal fitting attached to a black hose on the drivers side, towards the bumber, to the left of the battery. The hose leads to a radiator looking device mounted in front of the radiator. What is that? Whats this hose for? Oil cooler? I cant find anything about it. Any help would be appreciated.
The leak is not bad. But I want to replace the hose and I can not find it online.
I have a small amount of oil/dirt build up on the output hose that leads to the intake manifold, coming off the intercooler. Any ideas?
I have oil build up on the front drive shafts were they come out of the transmission case.
Nothing dripping, just hard, black build up. any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

DC Loses Heartbreaker in Bottom of the Ninth at Rose-Hulman
Defiance (17-11, 10-8 HCAC)
Rose-Hulman (13-18, 10-7 HCAC)
4/26/2013 | Terre Haute, IN | Attendance: 250

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Yellow Jacket baseball program traveled to Rose-Hulman this weekend for a pivotal Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference three-game series with major postseason implications. After a back-and-forth game, the Engineers struck last in their final at-bat to secure a 9-8 walk-off win.
The Friday evening affair began with both starting pitchers tossing two scoreless innings before either team's offense could get on the board.
In the top of the third, the Yellow Jackets capitalized on a Rose-Hulman miscue, as Chris Donese reached and advanced to second on an error with two outs. The next DC batter, Darin Waterman, followed Donese by lacing a single into left field to give the Jackets the game's first run.
The home side responded immediately in the bottom half of the frame. The Engineers used three hits to score two runs and take a 2-1 lead.
After a scoreless fourth, the Purple and Gold reclaimed the lead in the away half of the fifth. The DC leadoff man Aaron Helland drew a walk and then stole second to set the table for Defiance. Donese then ripped an RBI single to tie the game at 2-2. Later in the inning with the bases loaded, Gary Levengood drew a walk that scored Donese to put the Jackets back on top at 3-2.
Like Defiance's first lead, the Yellow Jackets' advantage was once again short-lived. Rose-Hulman plated three runs in the bottom of the fifth off timely hits from Patrick Kilma and Bobby Newman to put the hosts back on top 5-3.
The Purple and Gold dug in during the top of the sixth and showed its resilience by responding with four runs to give DC a 7-5 lead, its largest of the game. The Jackets received a big bases loaded two RBI base-knock through the right side from Pat Masopust to tie the game at five runs apiece before Joel Musser and Levengood put them up by two with RBIs of their own.
Aaron Patterson entered the game in relief in the sixth inning and shut down the Engineer bats in the sixth and seventh before Rose-Hulman got to the reliever in the eighth after back-to-back two-out singles.
Defiance turned to closer Alex Schomaeker to finish the eighth, but the Engineers' Warren Whithaus managed to knot the game up at 7-7 before the Jackets could escape the inning.
In the final frame, the Purple and Gold got its leadoff man aboard due to a walk to Murphy, who advanced to third off groundouts from Ryan Kohlhofer and Helland. Like many times before in the evening, Donese stepped up with two outs and delivered for the Yellow Jackets. The sophomore roped a double into left center for his fourth hit of the night to drive in his second run and give DC an 8-7 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth.
Defiance managed to retire the leadoff hitter, as Schomaeker delivered a strikeout before the next batter singled to put the tying run on first. After another strikeout, DC was one out away from taking the opener, but it was not meant to be on this night. Donald Stopka hit a single through the right side to give Rose-Hulman runners on the corners and then Jordan Chipka ended the game with a walk-off double just past the diving glove of Joel Musser to end the game with a final of 9-8
With the loss, the Jackets are entrenched in a fight for the fourth and final place in the HCAC Tournament. The Purple and Gold's conference mark is now 10-8, tied with Transylvania for the fourth spot. Rose-Hulman moves to 10-7 in the Heartland with the win for third place and Bluffton is just a half-game of back of DC at 10-9.
The Jackets and Engineers meet on Saturday afternoon for a doubleheader to decide the series. The first pitch is scheduled for 12:00 p.m.

In the U.S.
- Prandin
Available Dosage Forms:
- Tablet
Therapeutic Class: Hypoglycemic
Chemical Class: Meglitinide
Uses For Prandin
Repaglinide is used to treat type 2 diabetes. When you have type 2 diabetes, insulin is still being produced by your pancreas. Sometimes the amount of insulin you produce may not be enough or your body may not be using it properly and you may still need more. Repaglinide works by causing your pancreas to release more insulin into the blood stream. Repaglinide may be used alone or with another oral diabetes medicine called metformin.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before Using Prandin
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:

For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Studies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing use of repaglinide in children with use in other age groups.
This medicine has been tested in a limited number of patients 65 years of age or older and has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults. However, the first signs of low blood sugar are not easily seen or do not occur at all in older patients. This may increase the chance of low blood sugar developing during treatment.

Precautions While Using Prandin
Your doctor will want to check your progress at regular visits , especially during the first few weeks you take this medicine.
It is very important to follow carefully any instructions from your health care team about:
- Alcohol—Drinking alcohol may cause severe low blood sugar. Discuss this with your health care team.
- Other medicines—Do not take other medicines during the time you are taking repaglinide unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This especially includes nonprescription medicines such as aspirin, and medicines for appetite control, asthma, colds, cough, hay fever, or sinus problems.
- Counseling—Other family members need to learn how to prevent side effects or help with side effects if they occur. Also, patients with diabetes may need special counseling about diabetes medicine dosing changes that might occur because of lifestyle changes, such as changes in exercise and diet. Furthermore, counseling on contraception and pregnancy may be needed because of the problems that can occur in patients with diabetes during pregnancy.
- Travel—Keep a recent prescription and your medical history with you. Be prepared for an emergency as you would normally. Make allowances for changing time zones and keep your meal times as close as possible to your usual meal times.
In case of emergency—There may be a time when you need emergency help for a problem caused by your diabetes. You need to be prepared for these emergencies. It is a good idea to wear a medical identification (ID) bracelet or neck chain at all times. Also, carry an ID card in your wallet or purse that says that you have diabetes and a list of all of your medicines.
Too much repaglinide can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Low blood sugar also can occur if you use repaglinide with another antidiabetic medicine, delay or miss a meal or snack, exercise more than usual, drink alcohol, or cannot eat because of nausea or vomiting. Symptoms of low blood sugar must be treated before they lead to unconsciousness (passing out). Different people may feel different symptoms of low blood sugar. It is important that you learn which symptoms of low blood sugar you usually have so that you can treat it quickly.
Symptoms of low blood sugar include anxiety; behavior change similar to being drunk; blurred vision; cold sweats; confusion; cool, pale skin; difficulty in thinking; drowsiness; excessive hunger; fast heartbeat; headache (continuing); nausea; nervousness; nightmares; restless sleep; shakiness; slurred speech; or unusual tiredness or weakness.
If symptoms of low blood sugar occur, eat glucose tablets or gel, corn syrup, honey, or sugar cubes; or drink fruit juice, nondiet soft drink, or sugar dissolved in water to relieve the symptoms. Also, check your blood for low blood sugar. Get to a doctor or a hospital right away if the symptoms do not improve. Someone should call for emergency help immediately if severe symptoms such as convulsions (seizures) or unconsciousness occur. Food or drink should not be forced because the patient could choke from not swallowing correctly.
Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur if you do not take enough or skip a dose of your antidiabetic medicine, overeat or do not follow your meal plan, have a fever or infection, or do not exercise as much as usual.
Symptoms of high blood sugar include blurred vision; drowsiness; dry mouth; flushed, dry skin; fruit-like breath odor; increased urination; ketones in urine; loss of appetite; stomachache, nausea, or vomiting; tiredness; troubled breathing (rapid and deep); unconsciousness; or unusual thirst.
If symptoms of high blood sugar occur, check your blood sugar level and then call your doctor for instructions.

$409M in road construction projects takes step forward
Commissioners approve their step to ensure 16 projects
EL PASO, Texas - Earlier this year, county leaders voted 4-0 to pass a $10 vehicle registration hike. Commissioners said then they knew the move wouldn't be popular, today they showcased the reason they got behind the move in the first place.
Commissioners unanimously approved an interlocal agreement tying them to the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority. In essence, it's a master plan that will give them the opportunity to pursue 16 road projects totaling an estimated $400 million.
The County doesn't have representation on the Camino Real RMA, however, they will have some control of their money because each individual project will have it's own, separate, funding agreement.
County leaders and small community leaders hailed the deal as monumental. Alone, many of the communities couldn't have afforded to build their projects. By combining their money, resources, and efforts the 16 projects will bring more "bang for their buck."
Escobar called it a, "collaboration of key community leaders who have come together and said, 'We want to do the greater thing by the El Paso community.'"
The projects (shown in the attached slideshow under "related content") spread from west El Paso to Tornillo. The projects range from improvements to I-10 and it's frontage road to changes to the connectivity to more rural parts of the county and connections for current highways.
The moves aren't done yet. In fact, a final approval will have to come from the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). According to the MPO chairman, Horizon City mayor Walter Miller, there is no doubt that the board will pass the projects.
The moves made today were in the making for a long time. Years ago the City of El Paso, and more recently the county, approved traffic reinvestment zones (TRZs). Those TRZs allow money to be saved for transportation projects from incremental increases to property taxes within the area surrounding that project. This past legislative session state Sen. Jose Rodriguez passed a rider on a bill that allowed county leaders to raise vehicle registration costs and give that money to a local RMA to fund transportation projects. Those steps, combined with today's and the upcoming MPO decision, allowed for today's multi-million dollar step forward for local infrastructure.
In the end, the county will account for an estimated $137 million for the projects. The town of Horizon City will invest $5 million, and the city of Soccoro will chip in $9 million. That combined investment convinced TxDOT, the MPO and other organizations to add $258 million.
While the moves are a "game changer," for the Borderland, those tied to the decision today said more improvements will be needed in the future. Funding for road improvements, or even upkeep, has been hard to come by from a state level. Rodriguez told ABC-7 that the state will have to take steps to ensure that maintenance is funding. He called today a sign to businesses that our local elected-officials will ensure that the Borderland will invest in its infrastructure regardless of the situation.

You'd probably be better off buying a new one than shipping a used one. If you can find one for pickup you'd probably work out a little cheaper but god only knows what they did to the hood before you got it. Touchless car washes and waxes like turtle wax destroy carbon fiber finishes.
Additionally, companies that sell a lot of carbon fiber hoods put a lot of effort into packing the hoods to prevent damage. They're usually double boxed, bubble wrapped and bolted to wood to protect the edges. By the time it's all said and done they weigh 20-45 pounds. The packing materials required to ship the carbon fiber hood safely will probbaly cost you at least $40 and unless you have a good LTL account you'll pay out the butt to ship because of the dimensional weight.
Do a google search for "carbon fiber hoods" and check out all the guys on the first page and compare pricing. You'll probably find that it won't be much more to get a new one.
you cant beat though just taking a drive and at least pay for paint($100-$150)for the hood,for a c.f. in good condition.
plus beat paying an extra $600 for the one you want,especially Seibon.thats what mine is.

Roy Unleashed!
[posted by dinah]
I checked the blog yesterday was surprised to find three, count 'em, three new posts by Roy! Is he manic, I wondered? Oh, probably not...just unleashing his pent-up blogs which have been festering... I can only speculate. But this brings me to an interesting study I found, one that pertains to Roy's comments on most frequent diagnoses among psychiatric patients. A landmark 1998 study by Sille, et. al. revealed that the most common psychiatric diagnosis among bloggers is, in fact, Bipolar Disorder, accounting for 61.8% of all psychiatric diagnoses (most recent episode being a Mixed State), followed by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, with compulsive writing being the most common symptom, followed by compulsive email checking. In a follow-up study done by Monke in 2001, it was found in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind study that manic bloggers were more likely to report remission of symptoms, a return to euthymia, and a decrease in compulsive blogging, when treated with a combination of Depakote, chocolate and caffeine. Interestingly enough, none of the bloggers studied responded to either Lithium or any of the novel anti-psychotic agents.
Okay, so I made it all up, but I had fun doing it!

Report: Apple and Samsung Displace Nokia Worldwide for First Time in Terms of Internet Usage
Apple dislodged Nokia in January for the first time as the most popular mobile vendor in terms of global internet usage, according to new mobile research from StatCounter, the independent website analytics company. Samsung also climbed ahead of Nokia to take second place behind Apple on a worldwide basis.
StatCounter's research arm StatCounter Global Stats finds that in January 2013 Apple led globally for the first time in terms of internet usage with 25.86%, ahead of Samsung (22.69%) and Nokia (22.15%).
"It's good and bad news for Apple," commented Aodhan Cullen, CEO, StatCounter. "Apple has been handed the number one spot despite its falling usage share. A decline in Nokia usage from January 2012 to January 2013 means the Finnish company ceded the top spot to Apple."
He added, "Samsung, in contrast to Apple, has seen an increase in its usage share since January 2012."
According to StatCounter data, Apple's worldwide internet usage share fell from 28.67% in January 2012 to 25.86% in the same month this year. Samsung rose from 14.84% to 22.69% over the same period. Nokia fell from 37.67% to 22.15%.

Yes i do know her personally, not really close with her, but she is a good friend of my mom's. Apparently she promised her niece that she could make the cupcakes for the shower.
I guess i'm not really too impressed with the idea of it all… and i definitely have a problem with the borrowing of my stand if my work isnt being displayed on it. =(
I don't know what to do really, my mom says that it's a good opportunity for my work to get out there, but I would like it to be my work and only my work. Not mixed with someone else's. I'm still new to the business, but i'm not desperate for exposure, i'm still learning too!
PS. i just love your work. :)

The holiday break is over for the Humboldt State women's basketball team.
After two weeks, the time to return to Lumberjack Arena court has finally arrived.
HSU (6-3 overall) looks to shake off any possible rust before resuming California Collegiate Athletic Association play the first week of 2013, as it hosts Simpson University tonight at 7 p.m.
"The holiday break is always a concern for coaches because you usually don't come back playing as sharp as you were going into the break," Humboldt State head coach Joddie Gleason said in a press release earlier this week. "We'll have a few practices and this Simpson game to help get us ready for the tough CCAA schedule to follow."
Senior guard Lisa Petty is currently ranked third in the CCAA and 34th nationally in scoring, averaging 18.8 points per game. Petty is also leading the Lady Jacks in rebounding, pulling down nearly nine boards a contest.
Fellow seniors Kelly Kime (10.1 ppg) and Caitie Richards (12 ppg) are also contributing on offense as well as playing 30-plus minutes a ballgame.
The production is something that Gleason certainly wants to continue to see.
"I am really happy with where the team is right now. Our team chemistry and leadership are great, and the team work ethic is positive," Gleason said. "The new players know what to expect from us as coaches and also have seen what kind of competition we play against in our tough schedule so far."
The Lady Jacks' final non-conference tuneup comes against a Red Hawks squad that is 4-9 on the season.
"Simpson does a good job of pushing tempo and getting up and down the court," Gleason said. "We will have to play solid transition defense to try and slow them down."
But with a size discrepancy working against Simpson, Gleason feels like that's an area where the Lady Jacks could possibly use to their advantage.
"We will have a size advantage over Simpson and will need to get the ball inside within our offensive sets and crash the offensive boards," Gleason said. "That will give us some important second chance opportunities."

Take Your Dinner Outside
PAPER plates? Pffft. Nobody's using paper plates now. If you're eating outside, you need something elegant and unbreakable. Tritan acrylic in the glasses and melamine in the plates mean both can survive ants, squirrels, high winds and children dropping them on a soft pile of grass. Oh, and they'll work inside, too.
Ends on June 20 at 9AM CT

They are great. Good work and very kind to donate the quilt for an auction!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
They are great. Good work and very kind to donate the quilt for an auction!!
Love the baby quilt!
That raffle quilt is cute too!
Beautiful!! I am working on that very same flip-flop quilt right now for DGD. You have done a great job!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
I like both quilts a lot--but the flip flop quilt is great--I made one several years ago for my daughter and really enjoyed embellishing it. Then I did a flip flop block swap with a group of ladies and have a wallhanging for myself!!
Wow!! Fantastic quilts! The baby one is adorable while I know all the girls will LOVE the flip flop one.
Beautiful quilts and you did a great job on them.
You have a GREAT running start. Now you know enough to make many more and keep challenging yourself.
I simply love both your quilts. Thanks for posting them.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — ESPN college football analyst Craig James is leaving the broadcast booth to run for the U.S. Senate in Texas.
James's close friend and fundraiser Roy Bailey said Monday that James will run as a Republican for the seat being vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Though James' name recognition could be an advantage, it also could hurt him.
In the 1980s, he was a member of the Southern Methodist University football team when the program entered a series of scandals that forced the NCAA to shut it down.
In 2009, he became embroiled in Texas Tech University's firing of football coach Mike Leach over allegations Leach mistreated James' son after he suffered a concussion.
James signed with the New England Patriots before the 1985 season. He retired from football in 1989.

boughtabench Review
sturdy, well made and easy to assemble
the wheels are tough acrylic, the shelves are strong polyethylene and the uprights are aluminum tubes. assembled by hand and by using a mallet to set uprights in less than 5 minutes. i'm using it as a work cart for installing electrical receptacles, etc. very convenient. highly recommended.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? n/a
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. except for the aluminum uprights it appears indestructible
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? spot on

Get ready for a wild weather ride the next few days.
Our thaw continues today, but with a twist.
Snow melt, low level moisture influx from the south and lighter winds are combining to produce some fog & misty drizzle around Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. The fog wil be most likely late at night and early in the morning.
Gusty winds helped "mix out" moisture the past few days and prevent fog, but now that winds have died down, low level moisture trapped near the ground is creating fog blankets in part of the region.
Expect some morning fog, if the fog burns off we should still see milder highs in the 40s this afternoon and Thursday. If the fog lingers, temperatures could be held in check.
The incoming air Thursday is so warm that if we get enough sun…temperatures could crack the 50 degree mark Thursday afternoon in parts of southern Minnesota!
Growing snow threat Sunday night and Monday:
After Friday's cold front and a quiet weekend, the next weathermaker appears to be on the horizon Sunday night & Monday.
GFS: Heavy rain/snow shield in southern Minnesota Sunday night?
Latest indications are that low pressure will strengthen near Omaha Sunday night, and could shove a rain/snow mix into Minnesota. As the system slides into Iowa the precip could change to heavy wet snow by early Monday. One model (the GFS) is cranking out several inches of heavy wet wind driven snow by Monday noon.
GFS cranks out heavy snow for MSP Airport Sunday night & Monday.
(click for a bigger, better view)
It's too early to say if this scenario will pan out, but be prepared for at least the possibility of significant (possibly heavy) snow late Sunday night & Monday.
As we say in the weather biz…stay tuned!

The Caladium World - great for shady areas, they'll light up the darkest areas of your garden!
There aren't many plants that will light up a shady area of your garden like these! Grown not for flowers, but for their amazingly vibrant, beautifully patterned, heart-shaped leaves. Like dahlias, they're tender perennials, so should be lifted from borders (or pots moved) in autumn, stored in a frost-free place over winter and planted out again in spring. Collection contains all three varieties - Rosebud, Postman Joyner, Candidum - or available individually. Height 50-60cm (20-24"). Tuber size 1. Collection contains 9 tubers (3 of each variety):
Rosebud - Bright green leaves with large splashes of deep pink veins.
Postman Joyner - Bright red leaves with deep green border.
Candidum - Spectacular, vibrant white leaves with bright green veins.
Caladium originate from Brazil and are fantastic foliage plants. Commonly known as Angel Wings or Elephant Ears, they are a frost tender perennial and if planted outdoors need a rich, well-draining soil and partial shade.

INDOOR PLANTING - You will need a container at least 15cms deep and big enough for the bulb itself and to allow space for the roots to develop. Fill the container with well-drained multi-purpose compost and vermiculite. Dig a small hole in the compost (5 – 8cms deep) and place the bulb in the hole with the 'nose' facing upwards. If the nose is not clearly visible then lay the bulb on its side, cover with compost and pat down lightly. Place the container in an area that will get good light but not direct sunlight. Water regularly keeping the soil moist at all times but be careful not to overwater. Add liquid fertiliser once a month to keep the foliage colourful. Once the leaves have died back store the caladium in the container ready for the next season at temperatures of 13–16C.
OUTDOOR PLANTING - Once any danger of frost has passed and outdoor temperatures are warm the grown on bulbs can be planted into the soil or patio containers. For better results mix a rich compost with the soil. Choose a sheltered location with partial shade. Dig a hole 5 – 8cms deep and place the bulb in the hole and cover with soil. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Caladium grown in pots also should be fed with liquid fertiliser once a month to promote growth. Unless you live in a warm part of the country then dig up the bulbs once the growing season has ended and before the first frosts. Store at 13–16C ready to plant again next year.
Ideal for beds and borders, patio pots and containers. Prefers partial or full shade.

Bike Lane Battles, What's UP With That?
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) Since we posted our article on Friday about an expected lawsuit over the bike lane on Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, I've gotten a lot of questions about WHY some residents of Prospect Park West are opposed to the bike lane.
Their argument: it causes automobile congestion, it changes the historic character of the boulevard, and it's confusing to pedestrians. It's a version of a sentiment that we've heard from opponents of bike lanes around the city -- in fact around the nation.
There's also the issue of the pace of change -- some 300 miles of bike lanes have been installed since 2007. There are few cities that have so rapidly redrawn their landscapes as New York City has.
But I also wonder if there isn't an element of the following: it can be disorienting to have our immediate physical environment disrupted. In the post-9/11 fog of the fall of 2001, this article from the New York Times made a lasting impression. Since our hunter-gather days, it suggested:
"Thinking about paths and landscapes was shifted mostly into the subconscious, leaving the rest of the brain free for the hard work of earning a living.
"People still think that way, according to psychologists. Each person makes his or her own little map of the world, with some places colored red for danger or excitement, others warmly tinted with hues of home and safety. That knowledge is then filed away in the back-office of the mind and off we go, commuting to our jobs, and doing lots of other familiar tasks as well, pretty much on autopilot."
Could the same phenomenon be at work with bike lane construction?
By the way, here's a somewhat easier to read version (than the version we posted over the weekend) of the legal letter sent to the city Department of Transportation by bike lane opponents sent in late December.
And, in case you missed it, the New York Post reported over the weekend that Senator Charles Schumer has been personally lobbying city council members on this.

BJP ministers to boycott Bihar Cabinet meet called by Nitish
Meanwhile, Janata Dal United leaders also threatened to wipe out the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) from Bihar once they formally take on the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Patna: Bihar BJP ministers are likely to skip the Cabinet meeting called by Nitish Kumar on Sunday at 11:30 am. Meanwhile, Janata Dal United leaders also threatened to wipe out the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) from Bihar once they formally take on the Bharatiya Janata Party.
BJP state president Mangal Pandey said that there was no meaning in attending the Cabinet meeting when JD(U) leaders were trying to lure other legislators in a bid to form their own government.
The JD(U) and BJP, who have been allies for 17 years, are at loggerheads over the BJP's decision to give a larger role to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, who Nitish Kumar says is unacceptable to his party.
JD(U) spokesman Rajiv Ranjan said that the BJP's decision to boycott the cabinet meeting was unfortunate. "The BJP ministers are violating their constitutional duty and making it clear that they want to end the alliance," he said.
He said BJP ministers had earier stopped attending their office and returned the official vehicles although the alliance with the JD(U), despite mounting tensions, was still in force.
As the BJP is throwing its weight behind it's poster boy Narendra Modi, the Bihar Chief Minister is hoping to position himself as the biggest champion of minorities. So far, Nitish Kumar has always been very careful of not attacking Modi directly but after the BJP-JD(U) that could change.
Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar has already reached out to non-Congress and non-BJP Chief Ministers and his game plan is clear. If the BJP depends on Modi to polarise voters, the Bihar Chief Minister hopes to be the big beneficiary of reverse polarisation.

I dealt personally with Jose, the manager, as we were not able to check in within the normal period. He was very helpful and flexible in allowing us to check-in separately and was very personable and friendly when we met him. We were a little cold at night with only a blanket each.

Omg... if you guys dislike ZnT so much then just dont watch it when it comes out and stop posting trash on the forum. It does no good to anyone... specially to ppl that enjoyed the series and wishes to see it again.
It isnt bad to point out things you didnt like and even bring new ideas but some of you are going too far.... firing the director? how childish can you guys be... it was made by a group of ppl, not just one guy.
If you want something good in return then try giving something good. Criticizing with a bad intention and no constructive solutions wont help at all.
NOTE: Im only talking of some of the posts... there is no need to answer me or try to make your point. Personally i liked both season 1 and 2 although they felt a bit rushed and short.

If you dont like that others post trash then how about not posting about not liking others to post trash?
Its the same thing. Others are expressing their opinion which happens to be negative. No one is telling you to believe it though. Sure it may be annoying but also can be annoying the posts like ZOMG what great series either. Basically one and the other are expressing and sharing the opinion be it positive or negative. Live with it.
Director doesn't make it as in alone but he does have an impact on the anime. And he is usually the first responsible figure to take the blame on. Following your logic one could say that no presidents or prime ministers should ever leave their posts due to screw ups as they are not the ones to blame but their surroundings (which is true), however they are the responsible guys and for that they get higher wages than others.
So the asks to fire director are legitimate as in if the season sucked the main responsible guys should answer for it, even if it would not change much in actuality. But it would please the crowd. Childish? Yeah, but again all of us are childish that way too when the request presidents or prime ministers to leave the posts too due to political crisis either, so you should say that all humans are childish to begin with.
P.S ZnT is not only anime. It is novels too. Actually novels came way way before anime did. So the novel lovers have just as much right to be here and post comments just as much as anime-lovers.

However, the third season is mostly due to success of the first season rather than the second.
Ever been on Japanese forums? They usually reflect a great deal of japanese audience opinion about the anime, and lets say that ZnT 2 is not really accepted all that well there.
The sell rates are high enough but thats mostly because Japanese like to collect things. Like one of my friends in Japan said that since he has a first season of ZnT he simply has to buy the second one even if he thinks it sucks, just so he could have a complete collection.
Basically the first season made the stone rolling, but the second one did nothing to keep it going, and it is still rolling due to push of the first season and is slowly slowing down.
So if we will see a season 3 doing same stuff as season 2 did, you simply might not see season 4. As it is still going due to success of first season rather than the second one.

^^^i think everybody is hoping for that lol....is there any chance this series will be finished this time or will there be a fourth? comparing it to the novels...just curious on how many years this will last lol...
My personal expectations for 3rd season...is a final closure, no tit joke lol, happy ending similar to S1... i did like the ecchi stuff from the series but a good plot never hurt.... i actually think this series will be very drama filled just because they did the whole marriage thing...lots of jealous,angry,needing space moments...but will be a series worth wild....
cuz like they say...3rd times a charm!

I'm not expecting much out of the third season. They made a possible plotline from the novels that would have been nice to see impossible because they took something out in the first season and can't get it back to the way it was.
I'm expecting more of the same we saw in season 2 with some episodes probably being taken from vol.12 of the novels.

there is more than one person here who predicts that season 3 will mainly be based on novel 12 (where there is a ton of fanservice). but what about the ending for this season? it has to be something big

Well the 12th volume is so random that you can pull it in the middle of anime... They will probably end it with Tabitha's arc but the random fanservice of Volume 12 will still be the main focus.
Plus season 2 didn't had a great ending at all. It was rushed and bad, yep Saito;s fight was epic but it was too short...

I really am interested in making goose jerky but I have a few questions. I found recipes online so I don't necessarily need recipes.
a) I have a dehydrator, but don't know what setting or how long to do it to make it safe to eat
b) After I make it how do i store it? Does it need to stay refrigerated?
c) Do you use those packets that come with beef jerky to keep moisture out?
d) I'm slightly concerned about safety because of the fact that it isn't cooked exactly. I LOVE jerky, but I trust when other people make it, I just don't want to mess up and get sick...anything I should know about in regards to safety?
e) Any other tips for making it would be greatly appreciated THANK YOU!

Flat in the middle of no where on interstate 380
Well I was up in Cortland NY visiting some friends at college had a great time but on the way back I got a flat, As I go into the back I realize my jack broke last time i got a flat. Then I call allstate roadside assistance since my jeep one is expired, The tow truck shows about 1.5 hours later swapped it to the spare. Went to All Weather Tires in Huntington NY, ( if you live on long island and you buy tires you know who they are) Im good friends with the owner my family spends money like crazy in there uncles cousins everybody. Checked out my fortera and ended up havin to get a new one i got it for 137 with tax i thought it wasnt a bad deal.

Bainbridge Fire Department Receives Grant
The Ohio Department of Commerce Division of State Fire Marshal wants to make sure local fire departments have the equipment they need to safeguard lives and property in Ohio. State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers and his team visited the Bainbridge Fire Department to award a $10,000 equipment grant today.
The purpose of the grant program is to offset the cost of equipment to local governments in the state of Ohio.
"This program allows Ohio's fire departments to get better equipment for their first responders so they can protect their citizens more effectively and stay safe during an emergency," said Commerce Director Andre Porter.
The stop was one of many on Marshal Flowers' 'Listening Tour' as he travels the state to meet with first responders. The tour is important to the Marshal so that he can thank Ohio's fire service for being the driving force in last year's lowest number of fire-related fatalities in 27 years. He then listens to fire service personnel on how his office can better assist them with their needs.
"These firefighters must have the equipment they need to perform their jobs," said Marshal Flowers. "We want to make sure each responder will be able to serve fully and return home safely at the end of an emergency. This grant will help enable that."
The grant and loan programs, along with the other services offered by the Division of State Fire Marshal, demonstrate the ongoing partnership at the state and local levels. The support of the Ohio General Assembly and the current Administration has been instrumental in funding these initiatives.
Local fire departments chosen for the grant were selected based on a variety of criteria, including the fire department's annual budget, annual number of fire incidents and the resident population served by the department.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Parent Review
Movie Review
Please note that in order to provide parents with an accurate view of the content of this film, some plot spoilers are included in this review.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
In popular culture's never-ending quest to rob young people of an opportunity to enjoy their teen years without all the baggage and worry of adulthood, this movie takes the lead. It also clearly demonstrates how teen romances on the big screen have changed over the years. Where we once anticipated a first kiss between our young hero and heroine, now we are privy to a young girl's anxious fear that if she doesn't reach her first orgasm she will leave her date feeling humiliated and sexually insecure.
But that's the end of the movie. In the beginning, we meet Nick (Michael Cera), a callow New Jersey high school senior who plays bass guitar as the only straight in a queercore group. He's been sad for weeks since being dumped by his girlfriend Tris (Alexis Dziena). So his three gay band mates, not wanting to see their buddy continue to cloister himself in his bedroom, talk him into going to NYC to play a gig.
Minutes after their time on stage, Nick finds himself lip-to-lip with Norah (Kat Dennings), a girl desperate to have a boy on her arm for just five minutes (the time she thinks it should take to convince her teasing pals she has a male escort). Unbeknownst to either of them, they share Tris as a common acquaintance -- and her influence has been just as negative on Norah.
The two introverted teens appear to be a bad match until Norah discovers Nick is the author of the many underappreciated mix-discs that were showered upon Tris. Seeing their love of similar music as a good enough reason to extend their five-minute romance, the pair sets out to find the mysterious location where an independent band is rumored to be performing. Roving the city that never sleeps and babysitting Norah's booze-guzzling friend Caroline (Ari Graynor), this cast of adolescent characters' tour through various iconic underground NYC clubs and hipster hangouts. Their journey is intermingled with intoxicated introductions and sexual explorations -- with nary a request for proof of age.
As is often the case in the teen movie genre, there really isn't a whole lot of plot to digest. The middle act of this mercifully short production is a tedious montage of teen soap opera discussions interspersed with scenes of the dangerously drunk Caroline getting separated from the group and throwing up in a restroom at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Also common in these films is the gross out factor -- in this case Caroline has a treasured wad of gum that she inadvertently vomits into the toilet and then reaches in to retrieve. It will later be chewed again and shared by most of the cast.
As the night pushes into the early morning hours, Nick and Nora finally find themselves alone and the young lady is able to reveal her big dark secret. She has been dating a guy for three years and as yet still hasn't reached that height of sexual pleasure. Thankfully (sarcasm noted) with Nick's help her wish is about to be granted, and in approximately the same time it takes to order a fast food burger we hear the blissful moans of this adolescent reaching her goal.
Like many other teen movies, this film ignores the consequences of drinking, driving recklessly, and participating in casual sex. But Nick & Norah goes one step further, adding the complexities of sexual performance and satisfaction to the list of adolescent anxieties. While in their cool world the actions of these teens leads to an infinitely unbelievable happy ending, in reality this playlist would likely sing a different tune. Starring Michael Cera, Kat Dennings. Running time: 90 minutes. Theatrical release October 3, 2008. Updated March 14, 2009
Get details on profanity, sex and violence in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist here.
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Parents Guide
Obviously, we feel films like this minimize the portrayals of the negative effects related to the irresponsible use of alcohol and engagement in recreational sexual behavior. How do you feel? Do you think the inclusion of consequences for the actions depicted in this film would make it more or less realistic? Do you think teen girls need to be concerned about sexually pleasing teen boys?

Recent advances in computing, communications, and digital storage technologies, together with the development of high-throughput data-acquisition technologies, have made it possible to gather and store incredible volumes of data. One example is the hundreds of terabytes of DNA, protein-sequence, and gene-expression data that biological sciences researchers have gathered at steadily increasing rates. Similarly, data warehouses store massive quantities of information about various business operation aspects. Warehouses of international retailers (such as Wal-Mart) are typically multi-terabyte databases that contain information about retail transactions by customers all over the world. Finally, complex distributed systems (computer systems, communication networks, and power systems, for example) are equipped with sensors and measurement devices that gather and store a variety of data for use in monitoring, controlling, and improving their operations. 1
These developments have created unprecedented opportunities for large-scale data-driven knowledge discovery, as well as the potential for fundamental gains in scientific and business understanding. Data mining technology has emerged as a means of performing this discovery. 2,3 The field draws on extensive work in areas such as statistics, machine learning, pattern recognition, databases, and high-performance computing. The popularity of the Internet and the Web makes it imperative that the data mining framework is extended to include distributed and time-dependent information and tools. The added dimension of distributed data mining significantly increases the data mining process's complexity. Therefore, data mining requires a structured framework that will help users translate an application-domain problem into a set of data mining tasks at a higher abstract level, with less effort, and without knowing all the technical details about the distributed infrastructure. The Web architecture, with layered protocols and services, provides a sound framework for supporting distributed data mining.
Tackling the Distribution Issue
The emergence of these tremendous data sets creates a growing need for analyzing them across geographical lines using distributed and parallel systems. Implementations of data mining techniques on high-performance distributed computing platforms are moving away from centralized computing models for both technical and organizational reasons. In some cases, centralization is hard because it requires these multi-terabyte data sets to be transmitted over very long distances. In others, centralization violates privacy legislation, exposes business secrets, or poses other social challenges. Common examples of such challenges arise in medicine, where relevant data might be spread among multiple parties: commercial organizations such as drug companies or hospitals, government bodies such as the US Food and Drug Administration, and nongovernment organizations such as charities and public-health organizations. Each organization is bound by regulatory restrictions, such as privacy legislation, or corporate requirements on proprietary information that could give competitors a commercial advantage. Consequently, a need exists for developing algorithms, tools, services, and infrastructure that let us mine data distributed across organizations for patterns while preserving privacy.
This shift toward intrinsically distributed, complex environments has prompted a range of new data mining research challenges. In addition to data being distributed, the advent of the Internet has led to increasingly complex data, 4 including natural language text, images, time series, sensor data, multi-relational and object data types, and so on. To further complicate matters, systems need incremental or online mining tools that don't require complete remining whenever a change is made to the underlying data. Providing these features in distributed data mining systems requires novel solutions. 5 It's crucial that we be able to ensure scalability and interactivity as data mining infrastructure continues to grow substantially in size and complexity. 6 Ultimately, systems must be able to hide this technological complexity from users.
In this Issue
The articles in this special issue aim to provide a snapshot of the latest developments in distributed data mining.
In "Distributed Data Mining in Peer-to-Peer Networks," Souptik Datta and his coauthors discuss the challenges of data mining in peer-to-peer systems and highlight potential applications for P2P data mining in mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, distributed federated databases, e-commerce, and other such environments. The authors identify the significance of local algorithms in P2P data mining and classify them as exact-local or approximate-local algorithms. They present algorithms such as majority voting, frequent item-set mining, and K-means clustering for potential use in solving distributed data mining problems in P2P networks. Researchers are still working to meet the challenges of developing mature versions of these algorithms and integrating them into real-world data mining applications in P2P environments.
"Mining Text with Pimiento," by Juan José García Adeva and Rafael Calvo, describes an object-oriented application framework (OOAF) for text mining. The article highlights the need for mining unstructured information and then identifies the OOAF's benefits. The authors compare some existing text-mining systems' features and discuss how to assess a text-mining framework's quality. They then propose the Pimiento framework, which offers distributed text categorization, language identification, clustering, and similarity analysis. The article concludes with a case study of Pimiento's use in plagiarism detection.
In "Anteater: A Service-Oriented Architecture for High-Performance Data Mining," Dorgival Guedes, Wagner Meira Jr., and Renato Ferreira describe a SOA that offers simple abstractions for users and supports computationally intensive applications for data mining. Using Anthill, a runtime system for iterative distributed applications, they describe and evaluate distributed runtime systems, parallel implementations of decision trees, and association-analysis algorithms. The article then details the authors' Web-services-based Anteater data mining environment for distributed applications. The system is operational and in use for various public health and public safety applications in Brazil.
"Service-Oriented Distributed Data Mining," by William K. Cheung and his coauthors, provides a flexible service-oriented distributed data mining (DDM) framework. In this framework, the authors have adopted the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS) to carry out DDM services. To provide privacy control for data, they've used a recently proposed approach called learning from abstraction in their environment. They demonstrate their framework's overall effectiveness by implementing two DDM applications, including distributed data clustering and distributed manifold unfolding for visualization.
Taken as a whole, these articles illustrate the state of the art in distributed data mining, highlighting many of the opportunities and challenges we've outlined. As the amount of data available on the Internet grows, the need for carrying out effective knowledge discovery is becoming ever more critical. The key challenge in achieving this objective is building fast and effective distributed architectures for mining data spread across multiple geographical locations.

Conservatives are enraged that one of their leaders has abandoned them to curry favor with the liberal establishment. I refer, of course, toJonathan Krohn, who captivated a CPAC audience and authored a hit book as a 13-year-old, and is now a 17-year-old ex-conservative. The more respectable organs of conservative thought are still tied up in reading John Roberts out of the movement for his treason, so the task of ritually excommunicating Krohn has fallen to the Daily Caller.

On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin: Vook Classics
Met with instant controversy upon its 19th century publication, Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" detailed the theory of evolution and natural selection, and revolutionized the way humans think of themselves, their past, other animals and the planet. Although it remains one of the most influential scientific texts in history, Darwin's presentation is intentional readable and accessible as he draws on his experiences on board the H.M.S. Beagle to articulate his theory.

The reliability of current F1 cars is so good that Lewis Hamilton had never suffered a mechanical failure on his McLaren until his brakes failed in Abu Dhabi - and much of that is down to NDT.
That Hamilton had completed 51 races without being let down (his four previous retirements being two spins and two collisions) is incredible considering the speed, forces and pace of development seen in Formula One (particularly the latter with regards to McLaren this season).
Twenty years ago, in 1989, the most reliable car on the grid was a Williams with their two machines completing 81 per cent of the total possible laps and McLaren not far behind. The fifth best team on the grid completed 64 per cent and the 10th best just 51 per cent.
Ten years later, in 1999, just before the start of the era of Ferrari-Schumacher domination, Ferrari topped the reliability tables having completed 92 per cent of the year's racing laps, with the fifth best team on 71 per cent and the 10th on 61 per cent.
It was an impressive improvement, and the true relevance of that came clear in a reliability record that began two seasons later, when Michael Schumacher went an unprecedented 58 races without a mechanical failure, between 2001 and 2005.
By the end of the 2009 season, Brawn had completed 94 per cent of all racing laps - not much improvement on Ferrari's record 10 years earlier - but more significantly the fifth most reliable team, BMW, was on 91 per cent and even bottom-of-the-table Toro Rosso completed 77 per cent.
Now obviously those statistics include driver error (a significant factor in Toro Rosso's record this year given their seven driver-induced failures) but it is clear that Formula One cars have become significantly more reliable.
The pressure to fit development parts for a race remains, but despite the reduction in testing this season, the teams managed to progress their car designs through the year without suffering failures from either design, manufacture or assembly.
There are many different reasons for this, with improved manufacturing methods - particularly in computer-controlled machines that create more precise parts - and bigger budgets (thanks to the manufacturers) that afford resources and man power to allow better attention to detail.
But arguably the most vital part of F1 reliability is NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) which involves testing both newly manufactured and already raced components to ensure they are still in working order without damaging or destroying the part.
After each race the cars are stripped down and hundreds of individual parts undergo NDT to identify cracks, hairline fractures or problems in carbon fibre bonds that appear and could cause the part to break - allowing teams to stop failures before they happen.
Different techniques are used for different components.
Dye penetration uses dye to show up surface cracks in metal composites, magnetic particle inspection does a similar job on magnetisable metals, while eddy current testing uses a probe and screen to display visual defects to allow metal components with bearings to be quickly tested.
Ultrasonic testing is used on carbon fibre, with high-frequency sound waves that reflect if they hit a defect - and as this material usually has defects the parts are scanned regularly to monitor defect history (a new suspension wishbone will have three checks before being run).
Perhaps the most impressive type of testing, though, is X-ray and computer tomography, used on both metal and carbon composites, in which thousands of scans combine to form a 3D computer model of the part and its internal structure and can then be 'sliced' to check for defects.
With such detailed tests able to be carried out both in the factory and at the track, it's no wonder reliability has come such a long way.

12 Rush, 29 yds
YEa RW blew up Jones on that block, and a bogus roughing the passer cal
Congratulations on your win today. As a Lions fan, I more or less expected this outcome. There were a few things about my team that I liked today, and I liked the way our defense played considering how thin they were, but needless to say, ya'll were the better team, and ya'll showed that today. The penalty situation we had was atrocious. It was as bad as watching the Ravens against us a month ago when they had 20+ penalties and 2 guys ejected from the game.
As I said in another thread, good luck with your stretch run towards the playoffs, and I'll be getting ready for our Super Bowl... the NFL Draft.
