Surely everyone knows this?….except that they are wrong
Science (whose etymological origin means 'knowledge') is supposed to be based on objective and verifiable facts, but as I have blogged before there can occasionally be a tendency to groupthink. This is a phenomenon in which, simply by multiple repetition of them, 'facts' become widely 'known' after a while, even when they have no or limited experimental basis (something easily amplified via the Internet). (I experienced a related issue during my D. Phil., where I traced back a series of literature references to a widely cited claim that the purportedly passive concentrative uptake ratio of a particular lipophilic cation into Escherichia coli was independent of its external concentration over a huge range. The origin of the claim turned out to be a review (by an exponent of the particular theory he was trying to defend) in which the 'finding' was in fact referred to as unpublished data. Since the intracellular concentration that would have been achieved at the highest external concentration exceeded considerably the aqueous solubility of the substance involved, one can only wonder what if anything had really been found…; in this case, almost certainly an active transporter was involved as documented for yeast – and see also a review of carriers for pharmaceutical xenobiotics).
A nice book that I regularly dip into is Lloyd & Mitchison's The book of general ignorance, whose seductive attraction is that it explodes widely held beliefs as mistaken. I am not going to spoil it by giving the bases for why 'facts' such as these are mistaken, but the dust jacket states e.g. that 'Henry VIII had six wives – wrong – and Everest is the highest mountain in the world – wrong'. More common in Science than claims being completely wrong is that we merely see partial truths and adduce a greater contribution to the truth of a specific finding than is the case; note too that in nonlinear networks each contribution is rarely independent for finite changes. That X affects Y does not mean that X is the only thing that affects Y.
Another fact I was told early in my career was that the rate of expression of recombinant proteins in E. coli was governed by codon usage (aka codon bias), and that for high-level expression this simply needed to be optimized and all would be well. Actually, as with almost any other area of biology, multiple phenomena contribute to the control of metabolic fluxes, and this one is no exception. In a really lovely piece of work just published, Kudla and colleagues varied the DNA sequence (and thus inter alia the codon usage) by producing an engineered library of 154 variants of GFP that nevertheless (because of redundancy) encoded the same amino acid sequence, causing a (huge) variance in the GFP expression of some 250-fold. However, codon bias did not correlate with the gene expression, and most of the variance was in fact due to variation in the stability of mRNA folding near the ribosomal binding site. While it is well known that the rate of translation is governed strongly by multiple elements involved in initiation, this is a nice example of the complications to be expected in synthetic biology.
In a similar vein, a multiplicity of elements contribute to answering the question of what potentially makes a good antibiotic target or a good TB vaccine (see also an ontology and curated database of epitopes), where the Rpf family of bacterial cytokines scores especially well. Scoring these contributions by sensitivity analysis allows one to estimate the relative contributions of such multiple causes, either in terms of the variance (as above) or via information theory.
As H.L.Mencken famously said, "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong". Sensitivity analysis can explain why.

Picture: Whitney Houston performing at the Plymouth Jazz Festival 2008 Tobago, West Indies - 26.04.08
Whitney Houston has finally started work on her comeback album after stepping into a Los Angeles recording studio yesterday (13MAR07).
The troubled I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU singer has spent time in rehab over the past year (06/07) over controversy regarding her drug abuse, but has now teamed up with her mentor Clive Davis to record tracks for a new album.
With John Legend and NE-YO lined up to work with the diva, Houston is currently working with Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer JOHNTA AUSTIN, who wrote Mariah Carey's hit WE BELONG TOGETHER.
According to Fox News, music mogul CLIVE DAVIS has already selected up to seven tunes for the star, including songs by R Kelly and DIANE WARREN.
Houston is also reportedly working with a vocal coach to ensure her voice has not been affected by drug abuse and smoking.
An energetic cast and some terrific music make up for the rather hackneyed plot of...
Anne Hathaway is a gorgeous, young woman with a gentle screen charisma. It's hard...

Fiat And Renault: Is It A Done Deal?
At a Mar. 11 Renault board meeting in Paris, directors questioned Chairman Louis Schweitzer about rumors in the Italian press that Renault would soon join forces with Italian auto maker Fiat. Schweitzer told his board that the reports were "fantasy." But at least one member wasn't convinced. Gerard Muteau, a union official who represents labor on the board, recalls that when Renault was negotiating an alliance with Volvo in 1990, rumors in the Swedish press were similarly denied by the French company's top management. "Three or four months later, Renault and Volvo announced their agreement," says Muteau.
Will history repeat itself? Sources in Milan and New York close to Fiat Chairman Gianni Agnelli think so. They tell BUSINESS WEEK that the two companies have secretly drafted a blueprint to create a $72 billion industrial giant. Turin-based Fiat, according to the scenario, will announce a massive $5.3 billion share offering reserved for Renault. That would give the French carmaker 40% of the Italian group. At a later stage, the Agnellis themselves could cede some or all of their Fiat stake to Renault. Agnelli says there is no big deal in the works "for the moment." But adds one Italian industrial insider: "It's pretty much all worked out."
A NEW GIANT? The sources say the companies planned to announce the accord as early as mid-March. France's embattled Socialist government, facing a probable landslide defeat in national elections Mar. 21 and 28, could have trumpeted the deal as a national victory that would make France the focal point of Europe's $150 billion car industry. One reason for the holdup: Francesco Paolo Mattioli, Fiat's chief financial officer has been held in a Milan prison since Feb. 22 on charges of corruption and violating laws on political-party financing.
Creating a Continental giant that makes almost one out of every four cars built in Europe makes sense for the French and Italian companies. Such a combined force would be the first European carmaker to have the heft of a General Motors Corp. or Toyota Motor Corp. It would break the competitive gridlock in the European car market, where six manufacturers--Volkswagen, GM, Peugeot, Fiat, Ford, and Renault--have carved out shares ranging from 10% to 17%. Together, Fiat and Renault have more than 21% of the market.
Fiat is ripe for a change. Chairman Agnelli, patriarch of the clan that holds 40% of the company, and Managing Director Cesare Romiti are both due to retire next year. That could leave a vacuum at the top of Italy's largest corporation. At the same time, Fiat is under financial pressure to fund a long-term $27 billion investment program.
On the Italian side, the timing may be good. The national government, which could stymie a blockbuster deal such as this, is weak and distracted by the worst political crisis in postwar Italy. Some government resistance is still likely. But "the deal could be sold in Italy as an important internationalization of Fiat rather than as giving up control," says an Italian industrialist.
Renault is now Europe's hottest success story in autos, turning in a $1 billion profit last year. The French are determined to do whatever is necessary to ensure that Renault survives. They are already trying to shore up one flank through the stock swap and cooperative ventures in design and manufacturing with Volvo. A deal with Fiat would add enormously to Renault's clout in Southern Europe.
CLOSE SCRUTINY. Privatizing Renault is high on the economic agenda of the French conservatives as they prepare to take power. Italian analysts believe that a swap of newly issued Renault shares with Fiat may be part of the deal. But others doubt that it would be that easy. "Fiat would dilute what is currently a very good story at Renault," says John Lawson, an analyst at DRI Europe (U.K.) Ltd. in London.
Such a megadeal would also get close scrutiny from European Community antitrust officials in Brussels. The EC approved Renault's cross-shareholding arrangement with Volvo, since the deal wasn't considered a strict merger. Still, asks John Ratliff, an antitrust lawyer with the Brussels-based firm of Stanbrook & Hooper: "If they can clear Renault-Volvo, why can't they clear something like Fiat-Renault?" And if the European auto industry needs another round of shaking up, Gianni Agnelli seems ready to do it.

Chewing up his bed in his crate!
My dog sleeps in his crate. I just got him a new bed to go in his crate because he chewed up his blanket that was in there. Why is he chewing up his new, comfy bed? How can I stop him from doing this?

I have Labrador retrievers and there is no way, no how I would give a 10 month old lab a comfy, nice bed in his crate. They get old, holey towels and cut up blankets until they have matured to the point of no longer chewing up their bedding, usually around 2 or sometimes even older.
Quincy is actually the first one I have ever
had that doesn't chew up stuff, but he still drags it all around the house and even the yard when given the chance. He has new beds and he will get them when he is MUCH older.

Some dogs I understand do that. However, it sounds like he's bored in his crate. Be sure he's tired and has had enough exercise. Try putting his favorite chew toy in the crate. Cut down the time he may be staying in the crate. Is crating him causing anxiety he can not handle. Although I used a Pen for Patches, I set up a bed, a box full of chews and toys, and I rigged the pen w/ all kinds of stretchy things he could tug on. I also played w/ him in there as well. When I opened up the pen Patches would go flying in there, it became his "Happy" & "Safe" place to be. He would spend most of his time in there playing & sleeping. He would come and get me to open it up so he could go in. You need to make your dog's crate his "Happy" place. He should feel safe and comfortable in his crate, otherwise he may act out.

You know what worked great for me when my daughter was six? We made a game out of disassembling and cleaning and reassembling my guns when I got home from a match. She picked up on nomenclature real QUICK! She picked up on the three main rules of gun safety even quicker. She liked getting dirty with the gun crud so I let her help me clean certain parts of various weapons. I think I let her sit between my legs and hold the Ruger 10/22 WITH me as I fired some rounds so she could get used to the feel of it. This was when she was 7 or 8.Originally Posted by JT
We kept that up until she was 10 and I started her off on my Ruger 10/22 rifle. Position, seated with her elbows braced on the insides of her knees. Rock solid position. Later on she went to the Ruger Super Single Six .22LR/.22WMR. Stayed with that before moving to my Browning Hi-Power 9mm and she discovered that all the moving steel of the slide and such was too much of a distractor. SO, she's a revolver gal. My wife OTOH, is a 1911 chick all the way!
That's fine by me. Since I gave the daughter my SP101, I now have an empty hook on my safeplace door. So I need a replacement. Don't think I want another SP101, so now I have decisions....decisions.....Ruger Alaskan 454/45LC? ParaOrd TAC-4 in the SpecOps finish? Sig P220 STS with SureFire X200 gunlight? Hmmmmmmm

Nothing wrong with that, you should but a 1911 to fill that empty space she would love you for it.Originally Posted by ExSoldier762
Let me throw out another vote for the P220, but out of the 2 you listed I would go with the 226.
The Sig 226 in the full size 220 class pistol (both similar if not same frames just that the 226 is a double stack 9mm)
The 225 is a single stck 9mm that is the same size as the 228. The 229 and 228 are same size, but the 229 has a stainless steel slide and not a casting like the 228 ( I like the 228 better cuz it's lighter) I've toured the Sig Plant back last year when they were doing R&D on the GSP pistols. They were runnig the 229s for the Govt at that time. The 239 in 9mm 357 Sig, or 40 cal would be a nice weapon to carry. The 245 is a bit large though for my taste. Either way, you can't lose with any of the choices given.
My duty gun is a P229 in .40 S&W...it's a good shooter, I don't carry it off duty since I actually shoot other guns better, like my Kahr 9mm's and my Berettas.
Last week I shot a P220 .45 ACP tuned by Ernest Langdon (EL) before he gave up LTT when he accepted a position with S&W. The gun is owned by PW, the administrator of the Beretta Forum. WOW! What a gun! I did not want to return it to PW. If EL where ever to return to tuning Sigs and Berettas, I would be "forced" to purchase a P220 so he can work his magic on it.
I also shot PW's P229 DAK in 357 SIG....another great gun. I prefer the DAK trigger to HK's LEM trigger myself.

Trigger wasn't bad. It also wasn't as good as my regular Sigs.Originally Posted by Euclidean
I'd carry one if it was the only Sig I could get or was authorized, but thankfully neither is required.
As a civilian evildoer, I like my DA/SA, thanks.
DAO only does nothing for me if I can get better.
Driver carries less than $45 worth of remorse.
228 isn't a casting - it's stamped and formed around the breech block. The pre-.40 era 226s were stamped as well and clock in at about 6 ounces lighter, which I prefer in 9mm. 225 is the same construction, as are many of the 220s out there.Originally Posted by CLASS3NH
Driver carries less than $45 worth of remorse.
As odd as it is, I never had a problem with the DA/SA transition. I knew where the drop and reset points were, and I just shoot the thing.
DAK for the old school Sig dudes is a solution in search of a Glock.
(Ok, I couldn't resist my cheap Glock shot for the year. :) )
Driver carries less than $45 worth of remorse.
I'm exactly the same way. I have a Glock M27, but I prefer my Sig P245 and I'm looking to up the ante with a full size (Hi-Cap) H&K USP 45. THat will either be the variation #1 trigger which is a TDA (Traditional Double Action) or their new LEM trigger. In any case, I see no evidence of a diminishment of accuracy or speed no matter what action type or caliber I'm shooting.Originally Posted by rfurtkamp

I carry a Sig P-229 daily and I like it. I have had a P-226 and a P-228. The 228 was probably my favorite Sig. I carried a P-225 for a little while and it was a dream to carry. In my oppinion the P-225 is the best carry gun for a civilian.
Just wondering, why the 225 over the 229?Originally Posted by shannon
EOD - Initial success or total failure
The P-225 is a single stack and it just conceals a little better. Even though I view it as the best carry gun, it is not what I carry. Still I might get me one some day.
I have a Sig P229 in .40S&W. I have had it almost a year now and use it for daily carry. I shoot it very well and it's a fine weapon. It's easy to handle, easy to maintain and points well for me.
That said, it is heavy and wide IMHO. I am 5'8, and 165 pounds. It is difficult for me to conceal it well during the summer due to my body size. I am going to have to get something different for everyday carry. It's a shame, because I really like the weapon.
People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to violence on their behalf.

GOSPODARECK, RONALD JOSEPH " MR. GEE" passed peacefully away into the loving arms of our Lord on Dec 17th, 2012 with his wife and stepdaughter at his side. He will be missed terribly by those left behind. But we are encouraged by the promises of seeing him once again. Ronald was born in Birmingham, Alabama as a twin (Donald) to the late Kenneth and Josephine Rodgers Gospodareck. He graduated from Phillips High School and later attended University of Alabama. He worked as an inside/outside salesman for thirty years in the steel industry, later transferring to Jackson, MS where he lived for many years with his wife, Jimmie until they relocated to Monroe, NC. He was a very fun loving and spirited person always giving to anyone in need. He coached youth basketball, football, and baseball , and just generally loved being around young people and sports. He was a lifelong enthusiastic Alabama football fan who would eagerly tell you all about it! He unselfishly cared for his elderly father-in-law in his last decade of life. Even when his body began to fail, he volunteered to drive the church van for patients at an adult day care, delighting in being able to brighten someone else's day. He loved his family, traveling, and his church family. He fought a long, hard battle since the pancreatic cancer from 6 years ago..never once giving up. Preceded in death by his parents and survived by his wife of 39 years,Jimmie, stepdaughter Robyn Lyemance, his identical twin brother Donald (Jean), two sons Kenneth (Judy), Keith, 4 grandchildren(Kristen, Drew, Chase, Trevor),3 great grandchildren(Tyler, Tysen, Hayden), niece Donna Jo Whalen (Tom), uncle J.B. Rodgers, and numerous cousins, great nieces and nephews. The family wants to extend a special thanks to Drs. C.Ganguli, G.Frenette, L. Pederson, and B.Bringardner for their roles in our journey. An informal memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at Community Fellowship Church 1705 Plyler Mill Road Monroe NC on Dec 27th @ 6:30pm In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Community Fellowship Church. A Simple Service, burial and cremation, is serving the family 704-884-0150.

Date of Stay: July, 2010
This is a beautiful Corps of Engineers park on the lake. We chose a beach front site, without sewer hook up, (no. 60), which provided a wonderful view of the lake. However, the site was so difficult to back into, I cannot recommend it for a forty foot motorhome. Also, the park was not very well maintained trash wise, which is most unusual for a C of E operation. We paid the senior pass rate. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
Although it is not the easiest drive form I-70 to the park, it is not a problem for a 40 foot motorhome towing. The park is on top of a hill with magnificent views for an RV park. The sites are level enough and spacious. We had a nice pull through (39). There is a very nice clean salt water pool, basketball court, and pavilion next to the pool. Therefore it is great for kids. We highly recommend this park for an overnight stay.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This is a very nice park about fifteen minutes from Mammoth Cave National Park. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Our site was spacious. There is some noise form the interstate and a nearby train, but it was not a problem. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
We stayed at this park with two grand children. We had a very nice level site and did not feel at all cramped in. There is a lovely lake which was great for swimming and also for the small kayaks we had with us. We recommend this park and would stay here again.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
This campground is relatively new and rather large. It is easily reached from I95 but far enough away not to have highway noise. You can hear train whistles on occasion but the noise was acceptable. The sites are long pull throughs and there is no need to disconnect. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. This is a very good park for an overnight stay if you are travelling I95.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
The sites are grass and dirt, and ours was not very private. It was however level. We did have a nice view of the lake. We had an issue with our water faucet, but the owner was extremely responsive and fixed the problem quickly. We had a long pull through site and did not have to detach the toad. If you are travelling on I95 this campground is very convenient. However, there is a dirt road which forms the entry to the park and is also used day and night by lumber trucks.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
This is a beautiful location for a campground, surrounded by water no matter what site you are in. The sites are not too close together and they are level. The campground is very well maintained and the staff rotates; ours was very friendly and helpful, especially when we had to extend our stay because of a tornado warning on our route north. The only negative is the lack of sewer hook ups which is not a factor to us on a short stay. If being on a river surrounded by many species of water fowl including eagles is something you enjoy, this campground is worth the trip.
Date of Stay: November, 2008
This is a beautiful park. We stopped here on our way to southwest Florida since it is not very far from I-10 and I-75. It is situated amongst live oaks full of Spanish moss. The sites are extremely private and the park is very quiet. The park is excellent for walking and is on the banks of the Suwanee River which is a very popular kayaking spot. We had a long pull through site and there was no need to disconnect the toad.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
This is a nice friendly park and perfect for an overnight stay. We had a pull through site and did not have to disconnect the toad. The park is clean and the staff was very helpful with a battery problem we had. The new sites were nice for an additional $15.00.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
This is a nice Campground located near Lancaster and close to many attractions. We had one of the newer upper sites bordering a cow pasture. The pool was very clean. We recommend nearby trips to Indian Echo Caverns in Hummelstown, The Hershey Chocolate Works, and The Science Factory in Lancaster. You can also get great pizza delivered from Paradiso Pizza in nearby Paradise.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
This is a beautiful COE park located on a lake constructed by the Corps. It is set amid the mountains of upstate Pennsylvania. The sites are spacious although not pull throughs. The park is immaculate as a result of all of the volunteers who work daily maintaining the grounds. The lake is perfect for kayaking, and the grounds provide ample roads for running and walking. There are also many interesting places to visit nearby such as Pennsylvania's "Little" Grand canyon and Wellsboro.
Date of Stay: June, 2008
The only positive aspect of this park is that it is located very close to the Jersey Shore and not very far from the Brigantine National Wildlife preserve. Otherwise it is unattractive, unkempt and the sites are extremely difficult to get into with bushes and trees impinging on the access roads. The park appears to be a haven for long term rentals and is an embarrassing member of the Thousand Trails organization.

Leonardo DiCaprio's current love interest Erin Heatherton has gone topless for Victoria's Secret. Posing in just animal print knickers, the 23-year-old babe flaunts her toned body.
Covering her modesty with one arm, she gives a sneak peek of her assets. Leaving her blonde locks open, she pouts seductively for the camera. Make-up is minimal and she is wearing a few golden and brown bangles to accessorise her look.
Last month, too, the model posed for the lingerie brand's summer range. FULL STORY
Apart from being Victoria's Secret model, her claim to fame is her beau DiCaprio. The two met at a Victoria's Secret show and have been dating since last December.
She's not the only babe in Leonardo's girlfriend list. The 37-year-old actor has been in relationships with actor Blake Lively and models Bar Refaeli and Gisele Bundchen.

One morning a blind bunny was hopping down the bunny trail and tripped over a large snake and fell, kerplop right on his twitchy little nose.
'Oh please excuse me,' said the bunny 'I didn't mean to trip over you, but I'm blind and can't see.'
'That's perfectly all right,' replied the snake. 'To be sure, it was my fault. I didn't mean to trip you, but I'm blind too, and I didn't see you coming. By the way, what kind of animal are you?'
'Well, I really don't know,' said the bunny. 'I'm blind, and I've never seen myself. Maybe you could examine me and find out.'
So the snake felt the bunny all over, and he said, 'Well, you're soft, and cuddly, and you have long silky ears, and a little fluffy tail and a dear twitchy little nose. You must be a bunny rabbit!'
The bunny said, 'I can't thank you enough. But by the way, what kind of animal are you?'
The snake replied that he didn't know either, and the bunny agreed to examine him, and when the bunny was finished, the snake asked, 'Well, what kind of an animal am I?'
The bunny had felt the snake all over, and he replied, 'You're cold, you're slippery, and you haven't got any balls...You must be a POLITICIAN'

A former yeshiva teacher in the Orthodox town of Lakewood, N.J., Yeshiva teacher today admitted sexually abusing a boy after two more victims of his came forward to accuse him, authorities told the Asbury Park Press.
Yosef Kolko pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault, attempted aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and child endangerment, and was led out of an Ocean County courtroom in handcuffs, the paper reported.
Kolko was expected to stand trial on charges of sexually abusing a boy, now 16, when he was 11 and 12, in 2008 and 2009, the paper said.
Kolko's trial on the charges involving that one boy got underway last week, but prosecutors told the judge that the defendant decided to plead guilty after learning that two more victims had come forward to authorities.
Kolko admitted committing a variety of sexual acts on a boy who attended Yachad, a summer camp that is run by the Yeshiva Bais Hatorah School where Kolko was a counselor. He also was a teacher at Yeshiva Orchos Chaim in Lakewood.
Kolko faces up to 40 years in prison but will likely be sentenced to no more than 15 years under sentencing guidelines.

Against the 'tyranny of a religious rage'; 2. Restoration churchmanship and the 'Essay on Toleration'; 3. Undermining the temple of worship of priest and prince; 4.

Pressestimmen"John Marshall's sophisticated new intellectual biography, which draws on unpublished manuscripts and relatively neglected works as well as Locke's better known writings, goes a long way toward making sense of this brilliant but complex thinker. Rather than search for a deeper, underlying consistency in Locke's thought, Marshall explores how Locke came to change his mind so dramatically over the course of his life in response to changing political circumstances, new personal contacts, and (perhaps above all) through his own process of intellectual inquiry...This is an impressive book." Tim Harris, Brown University, Journal of Modern History "...[an] erudite, carefully developed study...this is an important work in the history of social, political, and philosophical thought." Journal of Church and State "Anyone interested in the relation of theology to the founding father of American liberalism will find this volume essential reading." Theological Studies "...at once textually acute and theoretically grand...[a] superb and detailed study..." The Review of Politics "...this study is an impressive scholarly achievement and a major contribution to the understanding of Locke's moral and religious thought." Julian H. Franklin, American Historical Review "This is a very good book. It presents the historical context in which Locke's doctrine emerged clearly and intelligently...It is also the most careful and comprehensive treatment of Locke's political theology I have read."

Sunbathing may boost endorphins in the body and brain
Mice churn out feel-good molecule in response to ultraviolet light
By Laura Sanders, 11:46 AM June 19, 2014
When bronzed sun worshippers bask on the beach they may get more than a tan. Ultraviolet light causes mice to churn out an opiate-like molecule, scientists report in the June 19 Cell. This feel-good molecule, called beta-endorphin, may explain why some people seem addicted to tanning.
The results may also explain why people are more generally drawn to sunny spots, says dermatologist and public health scientist Steven Feldman of Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have taken several payday loans but they were always paid back from an ach debit to my account. A person named Ronnie Cooper has called me several time stating legal action if I did not pay back this debt. I did not recall this debt at all and know that all that I have taken have been paid in full This ARAB foreeigner could hardly speak fluent english and I had to listen to his messgae several times before I could actually decipher what he was saying.

Lengthy demolition underway of old Kellogg Elevator Co.
CARSON CITY — It's been more than 20 years since the Kellogg Elevator Co. was up and running on the edge of the city limits, and since that time Mother Nature has not been kind.
After years of weathering from winter snowfall and summer storms, the structures that once brought the city to life with local farmers bringing in crops and trains traveling in and out of town are now only a ghostly reminder of what once was.
Today, the old elevator structures are the first thing visitors see when they enter from the north of town at 818 N. Division St. … and the patience of local residents is wearing thin.
City Administrator Mark Borden said owner Dennis Kellogg has been working with the city to see that the structures are removed throughout a two-year process.
"It's been an ongoing concern," Borden said. "The Kellogg property has been the biggest complaint I've received from residents in the six years I've been here. It would be nice to see it tore down, to get rid of that eyesore."
Borden said the structures on the site were classified under the city's dangerous buildings ordinance in 2013, which requires that the owner of the property take measures to repair the buildings to make them safe or have them removed.
After several months, Kellogg eventually agreed to tear down the buildings and hired Richard Garlick of PresCon Industries Inc. in Rockford to do the job. The company began working on the project in September 2013, but work slowed throughout the winter months.
Garlick said the city has given his company two years to get the job done. He said citizens will start to notice visible progress throughout the upcoming summer months.
"Last autumn, we lost about 30 days due to personal things for our employees that had to be taken care of," Garlick said. "And this winter is really what killed us. We're having a hard time getting started up again as we need the snow to melt to really get at it."
Garlick said work was done throughout the winter on the interior of the buildings, removing items and salvaging anything that could be saved or sold for profit. Once the interior of the structures have been cleaned out, he said the exterior of the buildings and surrounding structures will begin to come down.
"Lots of things were done on the inside during the winter," he said." You've still got to empty the buildings before you can tear them down. There are lots of things that are salvageable."
Garlick said residents can expect several of the large bin containers, along with the rear building on the west side of N. Division Street, to come down this spring.
With structures on both sides of the street, Garlick said he isn't sure how he will move forward with tearing down the main buildings.
Depending on how progress goes throughout the summer months, he said he will either work to demolish and remove the central building on the west side of the street or close the building completely, with plywood and other materials and move on to the structures on the east side of the street.
"Residents aren't going to see a whole building come down right away," he said. "If we did that, cleanup would take forever and there'd be damage to the nearby railroad tracks. When we're done we want to make sure it will be all cleaned up."
Garlick said right now he just wants citizens to stay away from the site to remain out of danger.
"We don't want people coming and walking on the property as we're trying to get this done," he said. "We don't want to have to put a fence up around it."
Mayor Bruce Tasker said the removal of the Kellogg Elevator Co. has long been an issue for the town, but commended Kellogg for finally taking action with the property.
"To Mr. Kellogg's credit, he had a dream of bringing the railroad back to Carson for industry," Tasker said. "He held onto that for a long, long while, as he had plans of creating a soybean plant."
Tasker said after several years of failed attempts, Kellogg finally agreed to have the buildings removed.
"I think he's finally come to the realization that it's not going to work, using the railroad to bring industry to Carson," he said. "That was his vision, to help improve Carson. I have to admire him for that, but in the long run, it just hasn't worked out."
Tasker said the process to remove the buildings has been frustrating, but he's glad to finally see progress.
"I wish they would just bring in some big equipment and level the buildings, but that's not how he's doing it," he said. "He said when he first started that it's going to be a slow process. As long as they continue to work with us, that will be OK."
Borden said there has been one confirmed injury on the site of the old structures — a firefighter was injured several years ago while searching for a missing child.
"We know it's not safe," Borden said. "We'd like to encourage them to get serious again this spring about removing the structures. If we are having this conversation in late June or July, about a lack of progress, then we'll have a problem. They know we're frustrated."

John was born in Kearny, NJ, hometown of the 2B for the Pirates 1909 World Championship team, Dots Miller. In fact they have some of the same relatives in common, so it was only natural for him to become a lifelong Pirates fan. Before joining Pirates Prospects in July 2010, John had written numerous articles on the history of baseball while also releasing his own book and co-authoring another on the history of the game. He writes a weekly article on Pirates history for the site, has already interviewed many of the current minor leaguers with many more on the way and follows the foreign minor league teams very closely for the site.

Bansal told the workers to strengthen the organisation and start a membership drive in the city. He asked them to keep a target of enrolling 50,000 members and urged the officer bearers to meet people and solve their problems.
While criticising BJP later at a public meeting in Manimajra, Bansal said, "It is BJP which is not ready for the food security bill as congress is demanding a special session, but BJP isn't agreeing to it."
Bansal added, "It seems BJP leaders have got frustrated in the last four years and are not allowing smooth working of parliament as well as local level bodies. They are misleading people by giving false statements. Now the people will teach them a lesson in the forthcoming parliament elections."
He further added that BJP is not concerned with the welfare of people, they only want to grab the power by unfair means. Congress is committed for the development of the country and he is committed for the welfare of the city, said he.
Bansal held another meeting at Sector 50, where he assured the residents of housing societies of Sectors 48, 49 and 50 to solve their problems.
President of Chandigarh territorial congress committee, BB Bahl, city mayor Subhash Chawla and former mayor Pardeep Chhabra were present at the occasion.

Date of Stay: April, 2011
Great campground. This campground is very clean and the staff was very friendly. Most of the campsites offer a very large, brand new wooden deck. There are short trails throughout the park that lead you down to the lake where you will find brand new piers for boat docking and fishing. There are also canoe rentals available, which came in handy because we were unable to tow our boat. The washer and dryers were FREE!!! Very clean bathhouses. Only thing missing is a swimming pool for the kids. We definitely plan to revisit.
Date of Stay: March, 2011
We absolutely loved camping here at Jimmie Davis. Caney Lake is so peaceful and serene. They have new piers for boat docking and fishing. All of us were sad when it was time to go. Staff was friendly and the park was immaculate. As with most state parks, you are not camping on top of anyone else, so you have your privacy. The only thing missing is a swimming pool and canoe rental for those who can't tow a boat.

Gov. Brown - CalPERS is a Ponzt Scheme
Original post made by Arnold, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Dec 2, 2011
"Well, that tells you you've got a Ponzi scheme, because you have to keep bringing in new members and the current system itself is not in a sustainable position,'' Brown said. ``I don't accept that, and we don't want to close it off anyway.''"

Quite true. The employees and agencies are supposed to put enough money in to pay for their benefits, assuming the rate of return projected in the actuarial study. If the employee stops working, or new members cease, there should be enough money to pay all the benefits. That is the definition of an actuarial sound system.
We know this is not happening so technically it is a Ponzi scheme. We taxpayers have to decide if we do something about it now, or let the pyramid continue to grow, making our problem even worse in the future and choking the system for our children. We need to first stop the pyramid from getting worse, and then figure out how to fix/pay for the problems for where we are at this point.
There are people in the union saying that the problems are not there and everything is sound because the economy will pick back up. It is easy for them to say since the employees have absolutely no risk. The risk is 100% at the taxpayers. There will never be a fair system if 100% of the risk is assigned to the employer and none to the employee. We need to change the system so 50% of the risk (at least) is assigned to the employee. As soon as the employees have some skin in it, they will want reforms. Until then, they want the status quo since it does not cost them a cent and they profit from the risk.

Aren't Public Employees taxpayers too? The Public Employees I know want reform too. You talk about skin; how about the skin of crooked bankers, corporations who funnel money and jobs overseas and crooked politicians from City Council to President of the United States who line their own pockets. Take the money out of politics and these crooks go away. No money in it for them. Make a City Manager's Retirement and Executive Magt Retirement cap at 25% of the Sewer Worker even though the Sewer Worker works harder. Acosta's retirement at $202,000 is ludicrous!

If the Public Employees want reform, how come we do not see any meaningful reform from them. Just look at them at the City Council meetings and they get extremely angry for just discussing pensions. I don't think the crooked bankers caused the pension crisis. They might have contributed to it but actually the unions took advantage of their crookedness. When the market was artificially high because of the schemes on wall street, the unions pushed for a higher pension saying it would not cost the taxpayers anything. They knew that once they got a higher pension, it was locked in forever, not to mention they were able to get the new pension increased retroactively to the day they started at the city. If the employees/union believe that the banks are responsibly for their pension problems, they also have to admit that they took advantage of the situation and lower their pensions to the level they were before 2000 when the pensions were dramatically increased.
I agree that the pensions at the top are ludicrous. Perhaps pensions should be capped out at $100K of salary (not pension) and if the employees want more, they can do a 457 plan. Just like social security for us. It is capped. We stop paying at a certain income level and we do not get benefits above a certain level. I would be happy if the pensions were tied to social security with respect to retirement age also. I will have to work to age 67, at least, in order to collect social security. Public Employees can retire at age 55, Public Safety at age 50. Then they also have free retirement medical FOR LIFE. Somebody retiring at age 50 or 55 is going to be receiving benefits for a real long time; at the taxpayer expense. Minimally they should not be receiving retiree medical once they qualify for medicare.

All eyes turn to New York
|04.09.10 at 1:21 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The equation has become pretty simple — The Bruins won on Thursday therefore any Rangers regulation loss guarantees Boston a playoff spot. There was a lot of talk yesterday about what type of scenarios would have to play out this weekend for Boston to make (or not make) the playoffs but it really just boils down to counting points. Boston has a three point lead over the ninth spot, the Rangers only have the potential to gain four points and start a home-and-home against the starting Friday.
The eyes of the Hub will be keenly attuned to Madison Square Garden tonight but there is more at stake for the Bruins than just a playoff birth this weekend. Head coach Claude Julien alluded to the fact after practice at Ristuccia Arena on Friday that the Bruins are also looking at playoff positioning as much as just making the tournament.
"It is a matter of sticking with it. Not just the fact that you get into the playoffs, but, where do you want to be in that situation?" Juliend said. "We've got an opportunity right now to be anywhere from sixth to ninth and we have to recognize that and we have to win as many games as we can."
Practice was loose on Friday and the feeling around the Bruins is that they are really taking to the example set by veteran Mark Recchi when he says that being in the midst of an NHL playoff race should be fun. Players were whooping and hollering on the rink as they continually messed up one of Julien's drills and gave a rousing applause when a unit got it right. Make no mistake about it though, the Bruins may be loose but the cord of tension that has been tightening around the team since the Olympic break is as tight as it has ever been.
"The biggest mistake is for [the sense of urgency] to be lessened," coach Claude Julien said. "Two points guarantees us a playoff spot but those two games coming up, Carolina, I just watched them last night against Montreal, they are playing pretty well. They are playing loose and playing well and they got a pretty good goaltender that keeps them in the game. I don't think that anything is a given but we have an opportunity to watch a game tonight that may, or may not give us the answer that we want."
Miroslav Satan Putting It Together
Forward Miroslav Satan has come on for the Bruins of late, scoring the game-winning goal among his two strikes last Saturday against Toronto and tying the game on Thursday after teaming with David Krejci to create a turnover on the forecheck and marching straight in on Sabres' goaltender Patrick Lalime.
Satan now has nine goals, three in the last week, in 36 games for the Bruins after missing the first half of the season before signing with Boston. He has gone stretches during his stay in the Hub where he has not been a factor but has proved to be good for the Bruins in the games that have mattered most.
"I think that was a good pickup by us," Julien said. "For what he has given us he has certainly been good. You know, he has always had good hands and has been a guy who has scored a lot of goals in this league and you know, again, his experience yesterday when he just took it to the net, those are the things that we have been talking about a lot and he finds those holes and he finds ways to score goals in those situations."
"I like what he has brought to our team. To me he has gotten better as he has played here and for a guy who didn't play the first half of the year to have, I think it is nine goals right now is pretty good for a team challenged to score to start with," Julien said.
The Bruins forecheck was active on Thursday and led to Satan and David Krejci breaking the puck loose off the half wall where Satan could take it straight to the net and the game-tying goal on a backhand. Since Julien changed the lines to give Krejci new wing mates the unit with Satan and Marco Sturm has been aggressive on the forecheck and has given the Bruins some scoring opportunities that may have not been present otherwise.
"The fact that we are aggressive creates turnovers and when players like Krejci and Satan create a turnover a turnover and are going in on net you are pretty comfortable because those guys are pretty crafty," Julien said.

this is the best answer..
Aaron Murray Georgia, really liked him last season the combo with Tavrees King. Mc Carron i liked but will probably be another Greg Mc Elroy from the Jets. But i'm most excited to see how Manziel pans out.

Preliminary study on bridge health prediction using Dynamic Objective Oriented Bayesian Network (DOOBN)
Wang, Ruizi, Ma, Lin, Yan, Cheng, & Mathew, Joseph (2010) Preliminary study on bridge health prediction using Dynamic Objective Oriented Bayesian Network (DOOBN). In Proceedings of : WCEAM 2010 : Fifth World Congress on Engineering Asset Management, World Congress on Engineering Asset Management, Brisbane, Qld..
Accepted Version
(PDF 416kB)
The availability of bridges is crucial to people's daily life and national economy. Bridge health prediction plays an important role in bridge management because maintenance optimization is implemented based on prediction results of bridge deterioration. Conventional bridge deterioration models can be categorised into two groups, namely condition states models and structural reliability models. Optimal maintenance strategy should be carried out based on both condition states and structural reliability of a bridge. However, none of existing deterioration models considers both condition states and structural reliability. This study thus proposes a Dynamic Objective Oriented Bayesian Network (DOOBN) based method to overcome the limitations of the existing methods. This methodology has the ability to act upon as a flexible unifying tool, which can integrate a variety of approaches and information for better bridge deterioration prediction. Two demonstrative case studies are conducted to preliminarily justify the feasibility of the methodology

This is a discussion on What 9mm or .380 for under $400 should I buy? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by wotblake Take it back! I live in Pensacola and am selling a glock 26 for $425. Come pick it up. :) Ouch!! ...
I know there are a lot of Bersa owners out there so I'm sure you'll find that you are very happy with it.
Those XD's are nice too... don't think you'll go wrong with that when you get a chance to pick one up. (Just getting my opinion in, in advance!)
Congrats on your new Bersa!
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
My short experience with a Bersa Thunder: you can't find OEM parts for it. I've finally given up on extra OEM magazines - will settle for generic ones and hope for the best; it took me 7 weeks to get the OEM rubber wrap-around grips.
A CZ83 should more than fill the bill for a .380. All steel and exceptionally reliable and accurate you should be able to buy one for around $350.00 NIB. An excellent handgun.
De gustibus non est disputandem
$400? CZ75 compact 9mm all the way for me!!
You come at me with a sword and with a spear. But I come at you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you". 1 Samuel 17, 45-46
If you already have a compact 9mm, why buy another one? Why not get something a little different. My vote would be an airweight S&W snubbie, it's easier to conceal than a mil-pro and packs a nice punch and also under $400. But if you have to have another .380/9mm, as said before, I think a CZ is a nice gun.
If you're considering IWB or OWB carry, the CZ 75 D PCR Compact or the P01 are both available in 9mm. If you look around, you can find them used for $400 or so, though the P01 tends to be higher. Street value is closer to $500, generally.
I've got the P01. It's 9mm with a forged aluminum frame. Very accurate. A bit thick, but otherwise very concealable. Can handle the hottest 9mm loads. There are numerous holsters made for it. At 28oz and 14+1 capacity, it's reasonably light for a full-sized 9mm defensive firearm. Highly recommended.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
If you have second thoughts about the T-380, there are a lot of good guns available for $400 or less, even more if you don't mind a used one.
If size isn't a problem, consider one of the Taurus or Ruger guns, or if you want something not quite so bulky, Bersa also makes larger framed pistols in 9mm/40 S&W/45 ACP for under $400 if you want more stopping power than a 380. CZ also makes very good pistols, but they are becoming harder to find for under $400. If you want something smaller, consider one of the K-T pistols (P-11 or PF-9) or a SKYY CPX-1... all in 9mm. If you want something REALLY small for a BUG, consider the K-T P-3AT in 380 ACP.
Of course there are also a lot of good revolvers in your price range from Ruger, Rossi, Taurus and others or a good used S&W or Colt can still be had for under $400.
BTW, I own several Bersa's in 380 and think you will be happy with your purchase, I know my wife and I are pleased with ours.

TONIGHT: Right-Wing Rubber Stamp Barbara Comstock Raising Campaign Cash With Paul Ryan
Right-wing Rubberstamp Barbara Comstock went along with all of the bad ideas that Northern Virginia families hate about Richmond, and now it's more clear than ever that she'd do the same in Washington by raising campaign cash tonight with Paul Ryan – the architect of Republicans' Medicare guarantee-ending, education-slashing, middle class tax-raising, job-killing budget.
"In Richmond, Barbara Comstock rubberstamped a reckless agenda, prioritizing transvaginal ultrasounds and attacks on women's healthcare over a bipartisan transportation bill to fix Northern Virginia's traffic crisis or helping businesses create jobs," said David Bergstein of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "Now Comstock is showing why she'd be just as dangerous if she was in Congress: fueling her campaign with cash from Congressman Paul Ryan in exchange for going along with Ryan's tax raising, education slashing, Medicare jeopardizing, reckless budget that is so out of touch with the values Northern Virginians care about."

Colin Shearer, the head of IBM's advanced analytics business, took some time off during his company's IOD conference last month to discuss IBM's upcoming subscription-based analytics service with John Furrier and Dave Vellante.
Analytics Answers, set to launch within the next few months, couples big data with the cloud to make this technology available to companies that would otherwise not be able to afford it. Shearer says that the offering is not targeting household names, but rather the smaller firms that face the same business problems as their bigger peers but don't have the resources to solve them.
Shearer identifies cost as one big barrier for these companies, but it's only one of many. The software is not enough on its own – companies also need the in-house talent to operate it, and this requires even deep pockets as well as extensive training. This latter aspect points to yet another obstacle: the time it takes to realize a return on traditional analytics solution.
According to Shearer, Analytic Answers tackles all of these problems at once. IBM has developed four different "Answers" so far, one of which is a cross-industry debt collection solution. The remaining three address different issues for retailers, insurance companies and the academia.
After providing more details about each of these products, the executive goes on to describe the process of executing Analytics Answers. IBM representatives communicate with clients remotely more often than not, he says, and collect large amounts of historical data to be used in the end product. This information is used to create custom predictive models that are deployed in the cloud. Shearer says that his company goes a step further by wrapping this in a simplified interface that can be leveraged by a regular business user.
