BRIDGEPORT >> A Connecticut man has pleaded guilty in connection with a Bridgeport shootout that injured a 3-year-old girl who was walking home with her mother.
Authorities say 22-year-old Anthony Small was the target of a gang-related shooting in April 2012 and returned fire at the suspects while running toward the girl and her mother. The suspects who fired at Small shot the girl in the back. She survived and needed several surgeries.
The Connecticut Post reports Small pleaded guilty to risk of injury to a minor and possessing a pistol without a permit Tuesday in Bridgeport Superior Court. He is to be sentenced to six years in prison March 28.
The other shooters remain at large. Police say Small refuses to name them, despite the fact they killed his brother.

Bats are mammals in the order Chiroptera.
Their most distingushing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammal capable of flight.There are estimated to be about 1,100 species of bats worldwide, accounting for about 20 percet of all mammal species.
About 70 percent of bats are insectivorous.
Most of the remainder feed on fruits and their juices; three bat species sustain themselves with blood and some prey on vertebrates.

Reviewing Chechyan History for Clues About Suspects' Motives
Early reports about the profiles of the two suspects sought in the Boston Marathon bombings case indicate their family lived for a time in the city of Makhachkala, the capital of the Dagestan region, near Chechnya, before moving to the United States. The Tsarnaev family reportedly left Dagestan for the United States in 2002 after living there for about a year.
Stephen Dalziel, former Russian analyst for the BBC recaps some of the historic events that these young men may have lived through in the 1990s. "You had a very bloody-- and very nasty, very nasty on both sides-- war from December 1994 to June 1996," he explained. "It's a region in the last twenty years that's seen dreadful violence. Whether it's had a mark on these young men, who knows."
"The big question here is the motivation. There's no history of Chechyan insurgents or Chechyan nationals attacking foreigners on foreign grounds," Aslan Doukaev, North Caucasus Service Director for Radio Free Europe said. "I am to be honest a little baffled," Doukaev added, noting that there is no historical precedent for an attack like this.

Calcasieu Parish grand jurors declined to indict a man Thursday accused of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder in connection with a June 14, 2012, shooting on North Cherry Street.
Lionel Jacoby Rubin was accused of killing 23-year-old Shane Landry and wounding a 62-year-old woman.
Grand jurors previously indicted Rubin in July of 2013 on both charges.
"A main witness did not identify Rubin," Holly Carter, a spokeswoman for the Calcasieu Parish District's Attorney, said.

Trans flush
Looking to flush my trans and filler up with amsoil ATF so my question is how many quarts do I need to flush and fill the overland with a hemi and it has the tow package if that makes a difference?
Sent from my super duper sweet iPhone using Tapatalk when I should be doing something productive!
Re: Trans flush
I'd never do a flush. I'd just drop the pan change the filters and refill it. You won't be replacing all the fluid but flushing causes all kinds of problems in my opinion.
I wouldn't do it before the recommended interval.
I would only use the Chrysler trans fluid. Chrysler has a very special fluid and there are a ton of documented cases of trans failures due to the wrong fluid being used. It'll run ok for a few thousand miles, then you'll run into problems.
I haven't done the 65rfe yet, but I've done 42rle's on several occasions. I think the 65rfe might actually have two filters. Also I haven't looked yet but many newer vehicles don't come with a dipstick for the trans. Just a cap that says something like dealer service only. If that's the case on the hemi you'll have to order a dipstick from the dealer as well.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Hmmmm that really sucks :( oh well it will at least save me some coin, but I figured they just used typical ATF in it!
Sent from my super duper sweet iPhone using Tapatalk when I should be doing something productive!
Re: Trans flush
I think the trans uses ATF+4 which is a synthetic.........JB.
Re: Trans flush
The 65RFE hold 14 quarts. Never just change the filter and refill the few quarts that drain out. This just changes about a quarter of your fluid. I always do a full flush along with a filter change. Any trans fluid that meets the ATF4+ spec is fine and is noted in the manual. I tow, so I do this every 30 - 40 thousand mles. Amsoil is expensive oil and it will be costly to do a full flush because you will need more than the 14 quart capacity to do it correctly. The choice is yours.
Re: Trans flush
Thanks fellas for all the input probably just stay with the standard interval since the only thing I tow is my alum 2 place with my snowmobile on it!

An environmentally significant decision was made yesterday when the Environmental Protection Authority ruled on the application by Trans-Tasman Resources to mine ironsand from the South Taranaki seabed.
The decision will be made public today and not even the TAB is offering odds on the outcome.
These are uncharted waters for the authority and it has struggled to navigate them.
It is the first marine consent application it has had to consider in New Zealand's Exclusive Economic Zone, which starts 12 nautical miles out to sea, and it is one fraught with uncertainty.
Submissions from Trans-Tasman Resources (TTR), opponents of the plan and local authorities all went into the mix and the authority adjourned the hearing on May 8. The hearing didn't re-open publicly, the authority instead considering other information before declaring proceedings closed on May 19.
The application is for 20 years of ironsand excavation across an area of 66sq km up to 35km off the coast of Patea.
TTR has pointed to the economic benefits of the underwater mining, and emphasised the safety of its operation while predicting minimal environmental impacts.
It has probably overstated the economic argument, while a safe operation is all very well until something goes wrong.
Opponents of the scheme have been more alarmist with threats to beaches and sea life - it is the nature of opposition to talk up the dangers.
The unfortunate fact is no one can be sure what the impact will be, or whether that impact will be immediate and manageable or something that may only come to light in many years time.
With so many unknowns, the cautious and sensible approach might be to refuse the application. But if TTR does get the green light, the conditions must be thorough and exacting.

A keener disappointment.Posted by Donna Freedman on Jan 2, 2014 | 51 comments
Those of you who read my daughter's anguished non-post already know: There won't be a baby this time, either.
Abby had been cramping and spotting since Dec. 20, and was fairly pessimistic about her chances. After three previous miscarriages, she knew her body better than anyone. The Dec. 31 ultrasound showed that the pregnancy stopped developing between five and six weeks in.
I didn't really believe that they'd find a heartbeat. But I'd hoped, which means the disappointment is that much keener.
The doctor gave Abby the option of waiting up to a few weeks for the miscarriage to complete itself naturally, but the strain is telling on her. After discussing it with Tim today she decided to call the doc tomorrow morning about scheduling another D&C.
They've both thanked me for staying on to help out, but I feel pretty useless. About all I can do is cook, tidy up, do a little laundry, and urge water and healthy snacks during the day (in hopes they'll counteract the sweets and treats we've been consuming in front of Netflix each night).
I'm taking long walks, pecking away at upcoming deadlines and calling DF several times per day. Also avoiding posting on my own site, because I wasn't sure how to tell the same story all over again.
Faith is a learning curve
In short, I'm grieving. Not just for me, but for her. It's so hard to watch her suffer, again. If I could take this burden on, I'd do it. Unfortunately we don't get to choose.
I have the option of asking "Whyyyyyy?" yet again, but I'm pretty sure I'll get the same resolution: that God answers every prayer and sometimes the answer is "no."
I have to trust that there's a reason for all of this, that God knows what He's doing. Some days – say, every day since Dec. 20 – that's tough to believe. Faith is a learning curve and right now I'm languishing at the near end of the vertical axis.
Intellectually I know we'll get through this. But it's not my intellect that's hurting right now.

The Analytics of the Australian Private Health Insurance Rebate and the Medicare Levy Surcharge by Henry Ergas, Robson Alexander, Francesco Paolucci :: SSRN
This paper presents an analytical framework for examining changes in the Private Health Insurance rebate (PHIR) and the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS), and uses it to establish three key propositions. First, increases in the MLS rate tend to reduce the elasticity of demand for private health insurance. Second, simultaneously increasing MLS rates and thresholds has a theoretically ambiguous effect on PHI take-up rates. Third, means testing the PHIR can never increase PHI take-up, and will reduce it in some circumstances. The paper concludes with a discussion of the possible consequences of recently proposed policy changes to private health insurance in Australia.

$250 Medicare Rebate Checks a 'Drop in the Bucket' Compared to Rising Drug Prices
Sometime in August, Patricia Holland will drop into Medicare's dreaded doughnut hole. She is already bracing for that financial wallop. Holland, 67, of Centreville, Md., regularly takes seven prescription medications. One of them — Entocort — is especially expensive. It prevents severe attacks of her colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease. Right now, with full Medicare drug coverage — before the doughnut hole — Holland pays $195 a month for Entocort. That's her co-pay, nowhere near the full price of the medication. When she enters the doughnut hole, though, her Entocort cost will go up exponentially, consuming, she says, her entire state retirement check. The doughnut hole is the coverage gap in the Medicare prescription drug benefit, called Part D. Seniors get initial coverage until their total drug expenses exceed $2,830. Then Medicare covers nothing until total spending reaches $6,440, when catastrophic coverage starts. The doughnut hole is the $3,610 space between the two amounts, when seniors pay all costs for their drugs.Health care reform legislation will shrink that hole in Medicare drug costs. This year, seniors who fall into the doughnut hole will get a rebate check for $250. Last week, the federal government mailed the first of those checks. Next year, Medicare recipients will get a 50% discount on brand-name drugs while in the doughnut hole. The coverage will improve annually until the hole disappears in 2020. The extra $250 doesn't impress Holland. "A drop in the bucket," she says. She spends hundreds of dollars a month on prescriptions even before she reaches the gap. When she arrives in the doughnut hole, the retail price of Entocort (three 3 mg pills a day) could reach $1,200 a month. For one drug. Fortunately, her position as a volunteer at a nearby Maryland hospital offers her a price break. Holland began volunteering there in 1997. Two years ago, when her drug costs spiked with Entocort, she started taking advantage of the hospital program offering medications at the same price that the hospital pays. When in the doughnut hole last year, Holland paid $680 for Entocort through the hospital. This year, she says, it will cost her $300 more a month in the doughnut hole. The hospital's cost has climbed to $988, she says. The price difference stunned her. "My pharmacist told me that all drug prices have gone up," Holland says. A recent AARP study found that average prices for brand-name drugs that are widely used by Medicare beneficiaries rose almost 10% over a 12-month period ending in March — higher than the rate of increase in the previous eight years. That compares with a general inflation rate of 0.3% over that same period. Meanwhile, the price of widely used generic prescriptions fell by an average of nearly 10% during that same period, the study found. AARP has been tracking drug price increases since the enactment of Medicare Part D and the doughnut hole. "It's no surprise that prices have gone up," says John Rother, AARP executive vice president. "The surprise is they've gone up faster than before — and gone up during an economic downturn." Responding to the AARP data, the brand-name drug industry said prescription drugs help control health care spending by reducing unnecessary hospitalizations and helping manage chronic diseases. "Prescription medicines represent a small and decreasing share of growth in overall health care costs in the U.S," said a statement from PhRMA, which represents the brand drug industry. Entocort is manufactured by AstraZeneca, which referred questions about pricing to the company that markets the drug, Prometheus Laboratories. A Prometheus spokesman declined to comment. The drug is expected to face generic competition in early 2012. As drugs near the end of their patent exclusivity, prices sometimes rise — probably so the manufacturer can maximize its revenue before the drug goes generic, AARP says. Holland takes generics when she can. She says her family income is too high for her to qualify for the manufacturer's drug assistance program for Entocort. So the doughnut hole awaits — along with the $988 per month tab. "I know people in the doughnut hole who don't take their prescriptions" because of the cost, Holland says, adding that it's a good thing that health reform will eventually close the doughnut hole. Her overall assessment of the hole? "It stinks." And the price increase for her medication? "There's no rhyme or reason for that. It's already high enough. "

Medicare Changes Reduce Rebates
[…] The Federal Government have cut funding to the Better Access initiative. This impacts on Medicare rebates as of the 1st November, 2011.

Healthcare Economist · Bring Market Prices to Medicare
Authors also propose to eliminate the 25% tax on premiums. According to MedPAC, "Plans that bid below the benchmark also receive payment from Medicare in the form of a "rebate." The law defines the rebate as 75 percent of the difference between the plan's actual bid (not standardized) and its case mix-adjusted benchmark. The plan must then return the rebate to its enrollees in the form of supplemental benefits or lower premiums" The rebate structure gives plans a disincentive from lowering their bids since they only recover a share of the cost decreases.

Medicare Rebate for Cosmetic Surgery
The best way to find about the out of pocket expenses available to you is to ask your cosmetic surgeon for an itemised invoice prior to commiting to them. The practice should be happy to do this and your invoice should include any relevant item numbers. Simply take the invoice into a medicare office and also to your private health fund provider to determine the refund you receive. Remember to also check on any extra costs such as anaesthetist and hospital fees.

question for angus - miter saw
hey angus,
how are you man?
well, i had loaded up my amazon cart with about $1K in power tools.
went to order today and the miter saw had shot up in price by about $80!
was $369 just yesterday. it's now more expensive than it's successor, with the laser, which i don't want.
question is, is it still worth it at $440?
do you think after i order it it will go back down within 30 days and i can get a refund through amazon?
seemed much, much more appealing at $369, i must say. but then again, maybe just say what the hell and get it anyway.
thanks bro.

WOW :eek:
You're not gonna believe this but I just bought that saw with the laser from Amazon in January for $363 AND got a free 2 1/4 hp router to boot. If the laser version is cheaper, get it. After I trued the blade, the laser is actually dead on but there's an on/off switch on it so you don't HAVE to use it. I admit, I rarely use the laser myself but it's nice to have if I want it.
Like I've said in previous posts, you need to check Amazon often because their prices change daily...and as you've seen, sometimes hourly. I'd check back a few times over the next couple of days to see what it's at. It's definitely worth the cash...either way.
Now about that saw....it's SO worth it!!!! I also bought a Freud Diablo 80 tooth blade. I use the saw for finish work and I cannot tell you how well it works. I am 100% satisfied. It has allowed my finish carpentry work to be perfect! Look at my molding miter. It's perfect. Even better than the cabinet maker did on their door miter!
thanks buddy.
yeah, that molding is brilliant.
did the other guy do the door just above it?
that couldn't be your work...
well, bit the bullet today. ordered a hitachi finish nail gun, makita 2400 compressor, milwaukee sawzall, and the hitachi miter saw.
i feel like an idiot for not ordering a few days ago and getting it for $369.
paid $439 for it, but hoping within 30 days it will go back down.
it's still $150 cheaper than the builder's store here.
also got a rubber hose, a speed square, and other miscellaneous stuff.
need to go to the store for the nails, and maybe a quick release.
going to get the panasonic hammer drill on ebay.
thanks again.
by the way, what stand do you use for the saw? do i have to get the hitachi stand, or can a universal one work? that "stablemate" looks nice.
how is the stock blade on the miter saw? good enough? carbide, right?
by the way, what stand do you use for the saw? do i have to get the hitachi stand, or can a universal one work? that "stablemate" looks nice.
Universal will work. Home Depot just had this one on sale for $99.
You might check some of the local stores around you. I think they were selling out of what they had and that was it.
how is the stock blade on the miter saw? good enough? carbide, right?
Don't know. I took my saw out of the box and instantly changed the blade. If you're not doing any finish work, it will most likely do OK.
The cabinet door came that way. Actually, you can't tell in person. I didn't even notice that miter until I took the picture and zoomed in. So the door's not that bad, the molding is that good!
Good luck and enjoy your purchases!
hey again man.
picked up a box of nails today.
2.5" angled finish, galvanized "brads", made by bulls-eye fasteners.
cost almost $50. box of 4,000.
i'm wondering a few things: did i get ripped off? should i get genuine hitachi brand?
would these nails be suitable for say, building a picket fence? would the nails be big enough to hold the pickets in place? would i want the double-dipped galvanized for that? something with a bigger head?
i haven't actually seen these nails yet, because i don't want to open the box until i'm sure i'll need them.
i got the long length because i need to do trim through 5/8" drywall and the 2" doesn't seem long enough.
also picked up some quick connect valves for the compressor hose.
thanks man.
I'm not expert on nails but $50 sounds high, although they're galvanized so that may be the added cost. Genuine Hitachi is not needed.
Also, I don't do fences so I can't legitimately answer the double dipped question. I know galvanized outside is a good thing. As for the nail head size, you can't adjust that. If you bought a 15ga nail gun, you get 15ga nails. Just make sure the length is what you need for the project. 2+" for interior trim work is fine. I doubt 2" is small enough for a picket fence. You need to be careful when air nailing something like a fence that you don't use your hand to clamp the picket to the rail and then proceed to run a nail into your hand. I've seen the "hand-as-a-clamp" thing go all wrong. Perhaps a bit of exterior wood glue to help hold the pickets in place?
Maybe throw a question up in the Landscaping or Carpentry forums about the fence.
thanks buddy.
well, received all the tools today, minus the makita compressor, which comes tomorrow.
pretty impressive service from amazon.
one thing, though.
just set up the miter saw.
i noticed on the bottom plate, next to where it all as all the miter stops, there are some fairly heavy scratches that look like they've been there awhile. i feel like i just bought a used saw. not sure it's worth the time and hassle to return it or exchange it. is this common to happen during shipping?
there's a little section with some decent gauges on it, if you run your finger over it it's all bumpy. not horrible, though.
pain in the butt.
haven't yet made a cut with the saw, just trying to figure out all the stops and screws and bevels. the dual bevel adjustment seems a little crude, somehow. but what do i know?
got the milwaukee sawzal, and hitachi 15 gauge finisher nailer.
both seem cool. can't wait to shoot some nails tomorrow. the "bump fire" thing seems extremely dangerous. i dind't realize what that meant until i saw the gun.
UPDATE: called amazon. they're sending me a replacement miter saw on monday. in the meantime, the guy said it's fine if i use this one. UPS will pick it up for the swap on monday.
definitely a lot of hassle on the phone, but amazon has always been very good to me like this. of course if they hadn't shipped me a friggin' scratched saw....
awesome man.
just dropped $90 on amazon. got a refund, and another replacement saw overnighted to me.
amazon is great.
sorry to message you like this, but since i haven't done 20 posts yet, i can send a PM.
Finish nails will not hold fence pickets, you need common nails.
thanks skymaster.
hey angus...
so, got the mac2400 up and rolling today. arrived in perfect shape. i broke it in as directed. works beatifully but actually much louder than i though it would be based on reviews. still basically have to shout to carry on a conversation within about 20 feet of it.
anyway, shot a few nails with the hitachi finish nailer. took me awhile to realize that the "no mar" nose piece was clipped onto the magazine. i had already marred the hell out of the door trim, unfortunately.
the depth setting is very hard to get right. is this done strictly on the gun, or on the compressor too? the gun says 70-120 psi. does that mean at 120 the nails will be set deeper, or is that strictly controlled by the gun? is it also affected by what you hit? it seemed like just going into drywall it wuld sink way deep, but if you hit a stud, it barely sank at all.
the gun seems nice. i think the "air blast" button is absurdly located. even in the 5 minutes i used it, i probably hit it five times and each time scared the crap out of myself.
big question.
i still need to do window trim and baseboards, paint those, and a final coat rolled out on the walls.
at what point should i sand the hard wood floor? i assume staining the floor will be the absolute last thing to do.
should i sand now, then install baseboard? or install all trim, then sand, then paint trim and wall, then stain floor?
thanks man.
oh, and i decided to return the milwaukee. getting a panasonic hammer drill/sawzall combo that works out to same price or cheaper than getting the panny drill and milwaukee separately.
The PSI setting is basically whatever you set the gun to. However, if your gun is set to 120 but the compressor is set to 70, you see the problem there. What I do is set the compressor to whatever the gun's max is and then use the gun to regulate.
As for the depth gauge, it starts with common sense. Drywall is obviously not as dense as lumber. The gun isn't smart enough to know what it's shooting in to. It just shoots at the set pressure. Until you get the hang of things, if possible, try a few sample nails on a piece of scrap trim first. If you have a piece of 2x4 and extra piece of trim, shoot a few nails to adjust depth. I've been using the same gun for 3 years so I just know what it's gonna be. Also having some nail sets will be very handy:
Better to not go too deep than blast through an expensive piece of trim.
When to sand floors is a question that will give you multiple answers. I don't think there's really a correct answer. Some will wait but that makes the sanding towards the baseboard trim hard and sometimes uneven. There's sand first but then the possibility of damage exists. Since you asked, I like to sand BEFORE base trim is installed. I feel it gives a much better finished look at the end. Of course, you need to protect your wood floors while finishing your project. Here's how I do it.
I use a layer of rosin paper, layer of cardboard and then a layer of lauan or Masonite...all taped at the seams. The floor must be perfectly cleaned before any of this goes down. A small piece of debris stuck under this will cause havoc.
Sorry about the sawzall. I personally would always have a corded sawzall. Cordless is very convenient, until it's not powerful enough :(
I still say you would be best with the Makita drill/impact driver kit (the 1.5Ah) and then a corded sawzall and corded hammer drill. For as little as you'd use the hammer drill, (I'll say it again) you'll save yourself the fatigue of using a very heavy cordless drill. :whistling2:
Good luck
I thought this was funny. I was checking Amazon for a tool for myself this morning before I head off to work and I noticed your saw, today, is now over $500 and NO free shipping! :wacko:
haha. awesome.
good grief, though. a bit absurd.

Losdon, March 5.-Master Abraham Lincoln, (on *f Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, United States minister, who has been suffering for a long time from blood poison, arising from a malignant carbuncle in the left side below the arm pit, died at seven minutes after 11 o'clock this morning. Daring the morning the lad waa in a comatose condition. He was unable to retain any nourishment, and the doctors stated definitely that his death was merely a question of a few hours. He suffered no pain. Mr. Lincoln and his family were at the bedside of tbe dying boy from early in'.tbe morning until he died. He passed away quietly. Tbe origin of young Lincoln's illness was a carbuncle whioh appeared on his left side on November 6, at Versailles, where be bad gone to study French. It developed witb astonishing rapidity and bis oondition became suddenly so alarming tbat his parents were telegraphed for. The carbuncle was lanced and poulticed, but on November 18th an inflammatory and febrile oondition set in. On November 20th tbe knife was resorted to and a supposed gangrene growth near the seat of the carbuncle waa removed. The wound refused to heal, and the patient began to lose flesh. On January 17th the patient, having grown steadily worse in the meantime, was removed to London, where be was placed in charge of three eminent surgeons. Tbe trouble, despite their efforts, extended Inward, and on February 20th it was found necessary to tap his chest to prevent death from suffocation. Tbe operation was successful in so far that it gave temporary relief, but on February 27th the operation bad to be repeated, when a permanent drain tube was inserted. THK tVASQtUCAL COXFEBgNCE.

The most inspirational award for innovation is reincarnated this week. The original Longitude prize changed nautical history, unlocked the secret of accurate navigation, saved countless lives, and helped traders to exploit the Earth's vast resources, from minerals to spices and more besides.
Now, in the 300th anniversary year of the Longitude Act, which launched the prize that helped humanity to conquer the world, a new £10 million (NZD $19 million) challenge has been unveiled, intended to solve a key problem of the 21st century.
Announced with a fanfare last year by the British Prime Minister, the Longitude Prize was developed by Nesta, the UK's innovation foundation, funded by the Technology Strategy Board, and will be outlined in detail in a special edition of BBC's Horizon programme this week. But this time it will be the British public, rather than the Government, who will decide which challenge to tackle.
At the heart of the original endeavour, launched in 1714, was John Harrison, a working-class clockmaker from Lincolnshire who, with little formal education, attempted to crack the conundrum that had baffled some of the greatest minds of the 18th century.
He set out to solve a problem that became the talk of London's coffee houses and captured the imagination during an era of extraordinary transformation. Global position is described by longitude and latitude, both measured in degrees. The problem was that while lines of latitude parallel to the equator are easy to measure accurately using the Sun, the lines of longitude running pole to pole presented a formidable challenge. Cracking this navigational problem would potentially offer vast benefits, both in terms of trade and military might.
As other nations - Spain, the Netherlands and France - sought to rule the waves, each offered its own rewards; Philip II of Spain had put up a sum 150 years earlier. But it was in Britain that the solution was found, following the passing of the Longitude Act in 1714, which offered a prize for determining a ship's longitude.
Harrison wanted to use a highly accurate chronometer - as one moves across lines of longitude, the local time moves one hour ahead for every 15 eastward. Accurate pendulum clocks existed then, but his challenge was to maintain accuracy in a moving ship that was subject to significant changes in humidity and temperature.
Astronomers, meanwhile, sought the answer in the heavens, notably the Moon's motion relative to the stars. Their most famous legacy, the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, was founded by Charles II in 1675 to carry out observations to discover the much desired longitude of places.
But it was Harrison who succeeded, with his marine chronometer. After tireless campaigning to have his achievement recognised, along with the intervention of George III, he finally managed to wring money out of a reluctant Parliament in 1765, at the age of 72.
Historians of science will carp that the details of the original £20,000 challenge - worth more than £1 million today - were more complicated than the heroic story of Harrison, the lone genius, suggests. There will also be debate about how much a prize is able to spur efforts that depend on a rump of existing talent, ideas and innovations. But no one can doubt the power of the Longitude story to make the mind race, the chest swell and the heart beat faster.

Three centuries on, the resurrected Longitude panel has identified six key challenges of the 21st century, from helping to defer the post-antibiotic era, when a scratch could prove lethal once again, to finding more efficient ways to plumb the planet with safe drinking water. From May 22, the public will be asked to vote for the one they deem most pressing; once the theme is selected in June, experts will have the tricky job of devising a specification that is tough enough to spur creative thinking around defined technical challenges, but not so hard that it seems out of reach. Then it is over to anyone, within specific rules, to come up with a solution.
One key aspect of how we crack problems has changed profoundly since the days of Harrison, thanks to the global reach afforded by the world wide web. When it came to finding the Higgs particle, some 10,000 scientists and engineers joined forces in the Large Hadron Collider, in Geneva, distributing data for analysis worldwide.
The effort to crack the genetic recipe of a human being depended on highly specialist skills splintered among many minds within a wide array of institutions. Even mathematics, once the domain of the gifted loner, is more collaborative now, thanks in part to the Polymath Project to coordinate efforts online, launched by Sir Tim Gowers, a Fields medallist (the mathematical answer to a Nobel).
But this new prize is surely an experiment worth trying, according to Lord Rees, the Astronomer Royal, who chairs the Longitude 2014 committee. He believes it answers a pressing need to channel more brainpower into innovation, to jump-start new technologies, and to enthuse young people. I do, too.
The winning idea, which will probably be announced by 2020, is likely to be the product of many minds, in many countries, using many technologies. But the spur remains the same as in Harrison's day. It is not the money, though £10 million is certainly newsworthy. Nor is it the glory of being the first, or best, or most innovative. It will be the satisfaction of changing the world for the better, not just for the benefit of this generation but for the next.
How can we fly without damaging the environment?
The UK has agreed to try to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80 per cent (from the 1990 baseline) by 2050, and the rapid rise of emissions caused by air travel needs to be tackled. The majority of flights from UK airports are short haul.
If Flight wins the vote, the challenge will be to design and build a zero- (or close to zero-) carbon aeroplane capable of flying from London to Edinburgh, at comparable speeds to today's aircraft. This innovation could significantly change transport.
How can we ensure that everyone in the world has a sustainable supply of nutritious food?
As the world's population heads towards nine billion in 2050, and becomes richer, tastes will turn to more resource-hungry foods, such as meat and milk. In the face of limited resources and climate change, we must learn how to feed more people with better food, and for less.
If Food wins the vote, the challenge will be to come up with the next big food innovation, helping to ensure a future where there is enough nutritious, affordable and environmentally sustainable food for all.

How can we restore movement to those with paralysis?
Because of the success of modern medical technologies, doctors have steadily got better at saving patients with catastrophic injuries and serious conditions, such as stroke, although this has led to a rise in the numbers of paralysed people.
If Paralysis wins the vote, the challenge will be set to a wide range of disciplines, from robotics to stem-cell research, to invent a solution that gives people with paralysis something approaching the same freedom of movement that most of us enjoy.
How can we ensure that everyone has access to safe and clean water?
Although we live in a water-filled world, 98 per cent of it is too salty for drinking or agriculture, and one in 10 of the world's population don't have access to safe drinking water. As demand grows and our water reserves shrink, many are turning to desalination, though current technologies are too expensive, energy-hungry and damage the environment.
If Water wins the vote, the challenge will be set to create cheap, environmentally sustainable desalination technology for those who need it most.

How can we help people with dementia to live independently for longer?
As the world's population lives longer, more people are developing dementia, at great personal cost and with a huge impact on society. According to Alzheimer's Research UK, 820,000 people in the UK suffer from dementia and 25 million have a close friend or family member who is affected.
If Dementia wins the vote, the challenge will be to develop intelligent, yet affordable technologies that revolutionise care for people with dementia, enabling them to live more independent lives.
How can we prevent the rise of resistance to antibiotics?
The evolution of superbugs is threatening to make antibiotics ineffective, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Yet we are still unable to distinguish bacterial from viral infections, or the type of bacteria, which has caused the overuse of antibiotics and the evolution of multidrug-resistant superbugs.
If Antibiotics wins the vote, the challenge will be to create a cheap, accurate, rapid and easy-to-use test that will allow doctors and nurses to better target their treatments, administering the right antibiotics at the right time.

SCHOTT solutions no. 1/2009 > Interior Design
Exclusive Glitter World
More than 1,000 light diodes and 250 square meters of color effect glass create a colorful play of colors inside the Casino Monte Laa in Vienna.
Dr. Gabriele Reinartz
Vienna is a successful mixture of tradition and the modern spirit. This can be seen mainly in the cityscape, where modern buildings mingle with all eras of architecture. In Vienna, the past is present everywhere. Empress Sissi would love it. Nevertheless, the Austrian capital is also a synonym for coziness, Sacher cake and the Prater amusement park. And this amusement mile is exactly where the Casino Monte Laa was built.
238 gambling machines on 1,000 square meters of floor space are just waiting to fascinate casino visitors. The luxurious casino is managed by Novomatic AG, one of the world's leading operators of casinos and manufacturers of gambling machines. They hired C4 Projektgesellschaft m b. H. to build the casino. Novomatic made it very clear that plenty of emphasis was to be placed on quality and exclusive furnishings. In fact, 48 glassy panels that contain more than 1,000 white "LightPoints" compete with the glitter world created by the gambling machines. This solution comes from lif GmbH (light, innovation, future), with whom SCHOTT cooperates. "Integrated into glass balustrades and handrails, the floating light diodes accompany the guests to the various levels of the casino," says Patrick Holota, responsible for sales of architectural products for SCHOTT Austria. "Here, the trick is that this specialized glass equipped with LEDs has a coating that is transparent and can conduct electricity. Now, the view is no longer obstructed by many meters of cable," he adds. As soon as they arrive on the various levels, the casino guests are greeted by wall decorations in color shades that range from gold to lemon yellow. 250 square meters of Narima® color effect glass from SCHOTT with special interference layers were used to create mirrors. They leave a different color impression, depending on the incident light and where the visitor happens to be standing. <|
Innovative technology is behind the grandeur created by light and color: Interference layers on Narima® glass produce different color impressions on the walls. The "hovering" LightPoints are light diodes inside special glass with a transparent coating that conducts electricity. Photo: SCHOTT Austria/J. Aust

A greater number of DBP physicians particularly those who can provide academic and community leadership will have to be trained due to the insufficiency of the work force in DBP most noticeable in impoverished rural states such as OK.
Goal 1: Expand the capacity of our training program in developmental-behavioral pediatrics to serve as an exemplary program with the intent of providing leaders in DBP in OK & the surrounding region. Objective 1: To train one new trainee each year in DBP who has the skills to be a leader in academic settings. Objective 2: To provide the trainees with skills to facilitate systems change in their community, state and nation. Objective 3: To provide trainees with a strong interest in research with skills to become independent clinical researchers.
The curriculum meets the ACGME Program Requirements for Residency Education in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) focusing on the 6 competencies (patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning & improvement, interpersonal & communication skills, professionalism, systems-based learning). The curriculum uses the American Board of Pediatrics DBP content outline and has Didactic, Clinical, Teaching, & Research components. Didactics build fellows' clinical, teaching, research, & public health knowledge. Activities include assigned readings, lectures/small group discussions, and formal coursework in research methodology, public health principles, and integrating systems for CSHCN (with the option to complete an MPH). Clinical activities include: Fellow Continuity Clinic; ADHD Clinic; various Multidisciplinary Clinics (for children with behavioral issues, developmental delays, language delays, autism, intellectual disabilities, and fetal substance exposure); Adolescent, Pediatric Neurology, and Child Psychiatry Clinics; and inpatient consults. The Teaching component builds fellows' teaching skills. Fellows present DB topics to health care trainees and professionals with faculty feedback to enhance skills. The Research component is guided by the ACGME requirements for scholarly activity; fellows design, conduct, and publish an independent research project.

The evaluation includes both qualitative and quantitative elements through: formative evaluation of the delivery of training and trainee-faculty satisfaction; summative evaluation of the impact of the program; and process evaluation of actual benefit to trainees and collaborating agencies. The trainees develop an individual leadership developmental training plan (ILDTP) that will take into account the trainee's strengths and prior training and use the ILDTP to monitor their progress.
One DBP Fellow completed the first year of the three-year fellowship and is now completing her second year. A second DBP Fellow from the University of Oregon started year one of the Fellowship in July. The DBP Fellowship Program hosted the Annual DBP Fellowship Meeting in Oklahoma City. Faculty have been involved in numerous program and research activities including the implementation of Oklahoma State Autism Workforce Initiative to expand the capacity of physicians in the state with a focus on physicians in rural areas. The Autism Workforce Initiative has three components: 1) Evaluation- Physician Training; 2) Screening Clinic; and 3) Treatment - Replication of the Early Foundations Autism Model and Outreach Program. The Project Director completed the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Guidelines as Chair of the ADHD Subcommittee of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The Project Director also received the C. Anderson Aldrich Award in Child Development from the AAP for outstanding contributions in child development.

Whether you're building a Web site or a traditional business, you must first open a merchant account before you can accept credit cards as payment.
When you swipe a credit card through a point–of–sale terminal at the grocery store, you are not completing a transaction. The grocery store is verifying that your credit card is active and you are within your spending limit. The transaction is not completed until later (e.g. end–of–day) when the grocery store sends a collected batch of transactions to its merchant account provider for processing.
Credit card orders can be initiated in one of three ways:
Real–time verification reduces the potential for charge–back fees and prevents the hassle of card entry errors. Here's how real–time verification works: After a credit card order has been received by the merchant, the identifiers and sales price are sent to the secured server(s) of the merchant account provider, who then forwards that information to the customer's credit card company and bank. Once the customer's bank approves the transaction, that approval is sent back to the merchant, verifying the credit of the customer.
Customers are more likely to initiate purchases if they are able to buy on credit. And they are likely to spend more than if they paid with cash or by check.
It is possible to purchase a merchant account service without real–time verification. Though set–up costs may be less, if you expect to process more than 25 credit card (non–present) orders a month, most vendors will advise you to purchase a real–time service.
Note: Point–of–sale terminal transactions are always verified in real–time.
Once the merchant account provider receives the full amount of the transaction, they credit the merchant's account for the transaction. This process, from start to finish usually takes two to four business days (compared to 25–40+ days for invoice payment methods).
If you are building or expanding your e–commerce presence, setting up an online merchant account makes perfect sense. It enables you to expand your customer base, and it facilitates a fast and efficient purchasing process.
Make sure that the online merchant service provider uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or SET (Secure Electronic Transfer) technology (or proven equivalents). Also be sure that the merchant can provide for:
If you are interested in processing transactions in–house, then you need to also consider two additional security issues:
There are two types of offline accounts:
The psychology of credit cards is fairly straightforward. Customers are more likely to initiate purchases if they are able to buy on credit. And they are likely to spend more than if they paid with cash or by check. As a merchant, you are also reimbursed within two to four business days. This may significantly reduce your payment lag, especially if customers you are currently invoicing pay by credit card. On the flip side, a merchant account does require you to pay initial setup costs, as well as fees for each customer transaction.
A few things to keep in mind when reaching your decision:

UW ADRC researchers collaborating on an investigation of ways to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) in people with Alzheimer's disease presented their research at the annual meeting of the Gerontological Society of America in Novemberber. The meeting is the oldest and largest gathering devoted to based gerontological research. Drs. Rebecca Logsdon, Linda Teri, and Sue McCurry from the UW Department of Psychosocial and Community Health, and Dr. Laura Gibbons from the UW Department of Environmental Health, held a symposium entitled "Modeling quality of life in community-residing individuals with Alzheimer's disease." The symposium, which consisted of presentations by each of the ADRC researchers, was attended by over 100 researchers and clinicians. Together, the talks comprised an overview of the model of QOL the researchers are testing in a population based sample of 140 individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
In recent years, QOL has begun to receive a great deal of attention among AD researchers due to the increasing need to provide evidence that newly developed treatments are noticeably improving the lives of people with AD. However, there is little agreement about how to best evaluate QOL in these individuals. In the UW study, led by Logsdon and funded by the Alzheimer's Association and the National Institute of Aging, Logsdon and her colleagues have collected baseline information from pairs of participants with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. The researchers are using these data to test a theoretical model based on the idea that physical, interpersonal, environmental and psychological factors all contribute to an individual's overall quality of life.
During the symposium, each researcher presented data from a particular aspect ofthe study, including: study design and characteristics of the study sample; psychological status of participants and caregivers; sleep and behavioral characteristics of participants and caregivers; and subjective ratings of Iife quality by participants and caregivers.
By correlating objective measures of functional and cognitive status, psychological state and behavior problems with subjective ratings of satisfaction with life, the researchers are working to build an empirically based model of QOL in AD.Study Description
Dr. Gibbons described the study design, explaining that each of the 140 community-dwelling participants was diagnosed with probable or possible AD based on a comprehensive evaluation and a consensus meeting. Baseline data have been collected and the participants will be re-evaluated every 6 months for 3 years. This will allow the researchers to record participant and caregiver assessments of quality of life and to evaluate the impact of participant health and physical status, cognitive and functional ability, mood, sleep, and behavioral disturbance, and caregiver mood, sleep, and burden on QOL over time. At baseline, the mean age of participants was 77. Most participants are married and living with spouses. Most are at least high school graduates. Gibbons reported a wide range of cognitive functional impairment among the study sample, but found that physical functioning inthe group is comparable to other adults of their age.Psychological Status of Participants and Caregivers
Dr. Teri discussed components of psychological health of individuals with AD and their caregivers. She is evaluating the relationship of physical, functional and caregiver factors to depression in individuals with AD. Analyzing data *om the study sample, Teri found variation in the measurement of patient depression among the different scales used to assess patient and caregiver depression. She concluded that, although the measurement of patient depression needs further refinement and the ability to predict depression is limited, it is clear that patient and caregiver depression are associated.
Three factors were consistently associated with patient depression--caregiver depression, infrequent pleasant events and lack of mobility. More research is needed, but these results suggest an approach to reducing depressive symptoms in AD, Teri pointed out. "Identifying and encouraging pleasant activities, improving mobility, identifying and treating behavioral disturbances, and treating depressive symptoms in caregivers all may prevent or reduce depressive symptoms in individuals with AD.Sleep and Behavioral Characteristics
Dr. McCurry addressed another factor under study-sleep and related characteristics of individuals with AD and their caregivers. Sleep problems are common among persons diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and among AD caregivers. Worsening patient sleep has been linked to caregiver depression, burden and patient institutionalization, she noted. "However, there have been no studies on the interactions between participant and caregiver sleep, health, mood, and function."
To investigate how sleep factors may be related to QOL, McCurry collected baseline data from patients and caregivers about the quality, length and interruptions oftheir sleep at night and about their napping and feelings of sleepiness during the daytime. Patients tended to minimize their sleep problems; nearly all of them considered their sleep to be very good or satisfactory, she noted. Yet one-third of the patients were reported by caregivers to have trouble sleeping at night. Less than half ofthe caregivers considered their own sleep to be satisfactory. McCurry found a relationship between patient sleep disturbance and patient depression, memory loss, functional impairment, gender and ethnicity. She found the greatest influence on caregivers' sleep is depression.Subjective Ratings of the Quality of Life
Dr. Logsdon concluded the seminar with a discussion of what constitutes QOL in AD and an evaluation of four hypothesized components of QOL (psychological, behavioral, functional and cognitive factors). Logsdon described the relative contributions of each of the components to the overall ratings of life quality collected from participants and their caregivers. Based on statistical analysis of the relationship between objective measures of the hypothesized components and subjective measures of QOL, Logsdon concluded that depression is strongly associated with QOL, but is not the only factor involved. Functional ability appears to be more important to QOL than cognitive status. In addition, their own levels of depression influence caregiver reports of QOL."Greater independence of functioning, higher levels of pleasant events and lower levels of depressive symptoms in both participants and their caregivers are associated with higher QOL in individuals with AD," she reported. "Future research with this sample will investigate predictors of changes in QOL over time and thus identify potential areas in which intervention will result in improved QOL over the course of the disease."

ABC Gift Cards LLC319 Us Highway 130 Ste 123, East Windsor, NJ 08520 East Windsor, New Jersey USA
ABC Gift Cards LLC Buys fraudently obtained cards and resells them. I got stuck for $150! East Windsor New Jersey
Does your business have a bad reputation?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
ABC sold me 4 $25 Subway cards and 1 $50 Corner Bakery card, all of which were fraudently obtained by the original owner and sold to ABC.
When Subway and Corner Bakery found out the fraud they removed the balance from the cards.
When I discovered the balance to all had reverted to $0 I reported it to ABC and their reply was -sorry, I was past their 45 day guarantee. It takes them at least 2 weeks to process orders and ship, so very little of that 45 days is left for the consumer to discover and complain.
ABC now ignores my emails.

Have you been following along the last few months with the service projects I've been participating in? To refresh your memory–The Home Depot is committing 50 Million dollars over the next three years to veteran's non-profit organizations. I was happy to be a part of Stiggy's Dogs, and Student Housing at OSU. My third and final assignment was equally fun, but much closer to home. I was paired with a local military family stationed at Ft. Knox. Home Depot had shipped me some Christmas decorations to deliver to the family. I sort of felt like Santa dressed in orange instead of a red suit. To my left is Dave, a local Home Depot associate. Front and center is the little man of the house, with his mom and dad. On the right is our Operation Homefront representative Tamara.
The Home Depot sent a Christmas tree, Martha Stewart ornaments, a tree skirt, tree topper, and a really pretty pre-lit wreath.
It was a fun afternoon, I hope you enjoy this video that documents my trip to Ft. Knox.
The Christmas tree is a corner tree. I was quite intrigued with it. In fact I went to my local Home Depot to get one, but they are only available online. I think a corner tree is a great idea for small spaces (which is exactly what I need). The Martha Stewart ornaments are very pretty, and plentiful—in fact too many for this tree.
There were two fellas that showed up from the e'town Home Depot. We've already met Dave. Terry (on the right) is the assistant store manager. They were very friendly and invited the Lake family to their store for their Kids Workshop on Saturday mornings. Besides the little guy, Sgt. and Mrs. Lake have a daughter who was at school.
edited to add photos:
It was a pleasure to meet everyone involved, and a fun afternoon. I appreciate the generosity of The Home Depot toward our servicemen and women, and our veterans.
The Home Depot partnered with bloggers such as me for their Celebration of Service Blog Network. As part of this program, I received compensation for my time. They did not tell me what to purchase or what to say about any product mentioned in these posts. The Home Depot believes that consumers and bloggers are free to form their own opinions and share them in their own words.

The Fifth Dimension
The Fifth Dimension was formed in the early 1960s by Lamonte McLemore and Marilyn McCoo, a former beauty queen. They got together two other friends from Los Angeles, Harry Elston and Floyd Butler and originally named their group the Hi-Fis. The name Fifth Dimension was only adopted later on in 1966 and under the new name, the five original members included Billy Davis, Jr., Florence LaRue, Marilyn McCoo, Lamonte McLemore and Ron Townson.
From 1966 right up to 1976, the Fifth Dimension released a total of 22 albums which contained multiple chart topping singles.
Some of the songwriters popularized by The 5th Dimension went on to careers of their own, especially Ashford & Simpson, who wrote "California Soul". The group is also notable for having more success with the songs of Laura Nyro than Nyro did herself, particularly with "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Sweet Blindness", "Wedding Bell Blues", "Blowin' Away", and "Save the Country". The group also covered music by well known songwriters such as the song "One Less Bell to Answer", written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and the songs and music of Jimmy Webb, who penned their hit "Up, Up and Away", including an entire recording of Webb songs called The Magic Garden.
The Fifth Dimension was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2002. They also has a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame, inducted on March 18, 2010.

Where Would You Want A Casino In The Capital District?
With the passing of the resolution to allow casino gambling in New York State there has been a whole lot of speculation on where in the Capital District one would be. The obvious area would of course be Saratoga where they already have horse racing and the video gaming machines. Now, according to a recent article in the Times Union, we may find one built in Albany where the old Tobin's First Prize building is , just off I90.

Scientific Method in Ptolemy's Harmonics
€ 43,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Juli 2006
BeschreibungThis book examines, for the first time, the scientific procedures devised by Ptolemy (second century AD) for investigating the structures underlying musical melody, a project that he conceived as closely related to astronomy. Ptolemy's account of his methods is unusually explicit, and he pursues them faithfully. By providing an analysis of Ptolemy's sophisticated theoretical apparatus, his strategies for integrating theory with observation, and his meticulous instructions for the design and conduct of experimental tests, the book offers historians of science a new starting-point for wider studies of ancient scientific method.
InhaltsverzeichnisPreface; 1. Introduction; 2. Reason and perception; 3. Pitch and quantity; 4. The ratios of the concords: (1) the Pythagoreans; 5. The ratios of the concords: (2) Ptolemy's hupotheseis; 6. Critique of Aristoxenian principles and conclusions; 7. Ptolemy on the harmonic divisions of his predecessors; 8. Melodic intervals: hupotheseis, derivations and adjustments; 9. Larger systems: modulations in music and in method; 10. The instruments; 11. The tests; 12. Harmonics in a wider perspective; Bibliography; Indexes.
Pressestimmen'Barker has produced an engaging and richly nuanced account of the Harmonics as an argument for understanding Ptolemy as a scientist with a 'method', a method which demands reliance on both perception and reason. Scientific Method in Ptolemy's Harmonics will interest a wide range of readers, particularly those concerned with ancient science, the role of experimentation and the philosophy of mathematics.'

The most important qualification I possess is a strong understanding of how important one's self-image is. I do not take the responsibility of improving it lightly. The relationship between my patients and me begins with the consultation. My initial goal is to put patients at ease so they feel comfortable communicating exactly what they hope to gain from this process-- mentally, physically and emotionally. I listen carefully and approach each patient with honesty; Setting expectations is key. I believe in a relaxed, direct approach -- no gimmicks. The relationship I build with my patients is based on trust, confidence, caring, and the knowledge that this relationship extends far beyond the operating room.When everything has been communicated and expectations are in place, surgery is the next step. I am a perfectionist who has sought extensive training in aesthetic surgery to hone my skills and deliver unrivaled care and results to my patients. In addition to many years of surgical training, I rely on my fine arts background as well to bring an understanding of the human form and how I unite the artistic vision with technical execution.

Prior to 2010, she was Senior Science Advisor for five years with Lewis-Burke Associates LLC, a government relations firm. She has 27 years of experience in research and science policy at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration. Her training includes the B.A. in chemistry ( Berea College), Ph.D. in biochemistry ( Duke), postdoctoral research ( Princeton), and executive leadership (Harvard JFK School of Government). Recent honors include the Berea College Distinguished Alumnus Award for her career achievements in the public sector and advocacy for underrepresented groups in science and engineering. She is a fellow of the Association for Women in Science, AAAS, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and Washington Academy of Sciences. Dr. Dean has been a pivotal leader on scientific and technical workforce issues, in women's health, and in career development strategies for young scientist.
