iPhone App Diagnoses Disease Through Sound
A new iPhone app by Star Analytical Services promises to let users become their own DIY doctors.
A new iPhone app by Star Analytical Services promises to let users become their own DIY doctors.
The software is designed to diagnose respiratory disease using the sound of a cough. It works by simply coughing into the microphone of an iPhone, and the sound is compared against a database of coughs which indicate various maladies.
Healthcare workers are already trained to diagnose and differentiate between problems such as pneumonia and the common cold by sound, so this app is a logical next step.
Next Nature reports:
Doctors generally classify coughs as wet or dry, with a subcategory of productive or nonproductive, a reference to the presence or production of mucous in the lungs. Most health care professionals can distinguish between the two kinds, and each kind gives subtle hints about whether a person has a bacterial or viral infection. Scientists think there is much more information hidden in coughs though, and are trying to tease out that information by analyzing specific sounds inside coughs.
"We are relying on doctors and nurses with good old technology from the 19th century," Suzanne Smith of Star tells Discovery News. "Why haven't we been measuring coughs?"
The software would compare one recording to a database of cough samples that contain the sounds of all known respiratory diseases from people of both genders, and various ages and weights. The researchers anticipate needing about 1,000 recordings for the software to be truly effective.

Corn: All those planters rolling last week finally hit the market today. Add into the mix the Goldman Sachs fraud is gaining much more traction, and today's market felt some serious pressure.
Another weekend has gone by with good conditions for planting. In addition, this week looks to remain dry allowing for many more to get a large amount in the ground. Just when talk will get going that conditions are getting far too dry, there is a forecast for rain this weekend. Following that weekend, we are forecast to find another dry week followed by yet again another rain the following weekend to start May. In all, a fast planting pace followed by rain, then another week of progress followed by rain is what the market has to trade from today. Honestly, you really can't plant a garden any better than that.
When looking at planting pace expectations this afternoon, there are a few notes worth knowing. For this calendar week, the largest jump between reports has been a 14% gain in 2004. Officially, the trade claims to be looking for 19% complete. Looking at the size of the sell off in corn today, it shows that many do feel that a number of 30% is much closer to the truth, no matter what the government has to say.
Tomorrow we will digest the planting pace report but will also be trading the upcoming weather, which is anything but bullish. A key number to keep in mind for December corn will be 375 1/4. If corn falls below that level, it will open another door to lower trade. We have seen very good support around 377 and will need that to hold once again. Right now, the most important fact to take away from planting pace is that 2004 saw a fast pace and saw a massive jump in yields over 2003. That could very well be the market focus for the next couple weeks at least.
Soybeans: "Reality Monday" was the theme as traders face some very real issues. Weather is ideal and those who have tried to talk bullish because "good weather was pushing acres to corn" have a wetter forecast, which would slow corn planting. Traders worried about "overly dry" weather and the likes of a "1988 drought" were also set back on prospects for rain in the next two weeks.
But the biggest issue for beans comes from the Hedge Fund industry. As we pointed out Friday, the SEC charges that Goldman Sachs fraudulently sold OTC CDO's could open Pandora's box. There is already talk that many banks offering OTC trading will be investigated. But let's face it, the government is not going to go after the US banks and shut them down.
The real agenda is to regulate and control the hedge funds. This is the group that sold CDO's that were mathematically built to fail. This is also the group that bought the insurance against these products knowing that when, not if they failed, the insurance would pay off. Hence they collected investment money for these CDO's from municipalities, states, union pension funds, and even foreign governments when they sold them, and then when the instruments failed they collected billions from the insurance company AIG.
Well AIG could not pay their obligations so you and I paid these hedge funds via the AIG bail out. Make no mistake, if the GS investigation confirms some of the stories we have heard, then an ARMY of attorneys will seek payment on losses and damages from many OTC trading firms and Hedge Funds. Right now, the market will be on the defensive as this unfolds and these Hedge funds lighten up their risk to prepare for the inevitable fight before them.
This will be bearish for the short term…at least until many OTC markets get unwound or roped into regulatory authority. Our long term hopes would be that investors look for regulated environments to trade in so they have protections built in. If that happens then the long term impact could be bullish commodities. But there could be significant negative impact before we get to that side of the story…Bill Biedermann
Wheat: The trade was anticipating weekly good to excellent crop conditions to increase by a minimum of 1% as wet weather was dominant in KS, OK and TX much of last week. Today, NASS did report a 4% increase in the combined good to excellent area from the week prior. This is the fourth highest rating ever for this week.
Positive to wheat futures is world demand increasing for wheat flour and wheat grain despite that none was sourced from the US. Also supportive to wheat futures are weekly export inspections which fell within the pre-released estimates and were enough to better last week levels. Also positive to wheat futures is news how MGEX did lower margins on spring wheat futures and its indexes today.
Bearish to wheat futures is the negative perception of lower crude oil and higher US Dollar. It is estimated funds were sellers of 7,000 contracts of wheat on Monday. Look for positive trade for Tuesday as a common message you are likely to read is futures were "overdone" on Monday…Joe Victor

Runs December 6 -28,
For tickets and info, call 312.386.8905 or
visit joffrey.org
Clara and her beloved Nutcracker Prince. A vibrant
Victorian Christmas ball. The epic battle with the Rat King and his
minions. And the snow-filled dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. All of
these are gorgeously depicted in The Joffrey Ballet's famed
Nutcracker, which more than delivers the kind of lovely artistry
this wonderful story merits.
Originally conceived and directed by Robert Joffrey
in 1987, this production has become a timeless classic for a
reason: it's a terrific way to celebrate the holiday season and
such a treat to let the beauty of Tchaikovsky's music wash over you
like so many sparkling snowflakes (which are incorporated into the
design in glittery abundance).
It's easy to forget that the graceful, feather-like
dancers featured in this performance are actually powerhouses of
Olympiad proportions- until you see them perform gravity-defying
movements with a flick of the wrist or ankle. April Daly's Sugar
Plum Fairy and Dylan Gutierrez's The Nutcracker Prince are
standouts, as are the Divertissements (most notably the Coffee From
Arabia, portrayed by Christine Rocas and Rory Hohenstein). My
daughter and I both loved the larger-than-life puppetry of Mother
Ginger and her Polichnelles - and if there's anything cuter than
little kids dancing as gingerbread men and tiny clowns, well then,
I haven't yet seen it.
Clocking in at a little over two hours, this isn't
your average family-friendly show length. But I've rarely taken in
a performance that's felt more decadent or lushly festive and,
based on my daughter's riveted perch on the edge of her chair, I
think it's safe to assume that she more than dug it. I had wondered
if parts of the show would be lost on my four year-old, but as soon
as the overture began I realized that this is the perfect age to
introduce the art of ballet. What preschooler doesn't fully
understand body language and movement to tell a story? Add to that
the wonder of this glittery performance and beauty of these
dancers, and you've got something special:
A guarantee that your little kid will be attempting
the Sugar Plum Fairy's pas de deux with her little sister for the
better part of a week, for one thing.
And the beginning of a lifelong love affair with
the ballet, starting with a downright spectacular holiday
Disclosure: I was provided complimentary
tickets to this ballet, but all thoughts and opinions are my

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/8/2014 (1033 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's no secret in the business world that every now and then you have to shake things up a little to either boost sales, bring in new clients or to energize and motivate your employees.
Bridget Shaw, owner of Lady of the Lake Shop, Café & Pub, likes to do just that. She's recently re-branded and renamed her popular pub —Crimson Pub.
As a self-taught marketer, Shaw often comes up with her ideas on the road.
"You have to travel, that's the secret! You have to travel to get inspiration," Shaw said.
The redefined Crimson Pub has been part of Lady of the Lake for almost eight years. Along with a new name, it also has a new head chef, a new menu and a fresh coat of paint.
Head chef Stephen Mitchell is a 2002 culinary arts graduate from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, but he began working with Chef Larry deVries at the age of 16 at Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School. He's eager to try new things in his new role.
"I'm looking forward to creating and changing with the seasons. Focusing on features that make use of our local producers and suppliers lets us create healthy, flavourful taste combinations. Customers can expect a fresh look, new menu and a new attitude," Mitchell said.
As for the new name, it was inspired by one of Shaw's favourite books.
"The original name, Lady of the Lake, came after I read the book 'The Mists of Avalon,' so I went back to the book to find a name for the pub. I opened the book and the word Crimson practically jumped off the page for me," Shaw said.
Shaw has also made changes to the pub's beverage menu. Now, all beer, wine and cocktails are just $5. As well, they recently introduced the new Crimson Martini and Crimson Burger.
In asking Shaw why the café and pub are so popular, her response:
"We're kind of crazy for doing what we do because it goes against most restaurants' principles of making money. We like to provide good food and make it from scratch. It's quite labour intensive, but that's really what sets us apart," Shaw said.
"We have our own vegetable grower, we try to source local meat when we can. Plus, it's an eclectic atmosphere — lots of people come to just have a look. It does provide a bit of eye candy for people."
Shaw also owns Abby Rose and Wildflower Café, two downtown businesses, with her daughters.
Between all four locations, they employ 39 people.
A grand reopening will be held for Crimson Pub sometime in September, watch the website for details: ladyofthelake.ca.
Local start, national success
Congratulations to We Care on its 30th anniversary! Bev McMaster originally founded We Care, a home care service provider, in Brandon in 1984.
Vice-president of operations Tifany Hopkin has been with We Care for 10 years. She said it is amazing how the business has grown over the years.
"It's an incredible, incredible story for Brandon. Bev started the business in the basement of her home, borrowed a bit of money to get it started and it just really took off from there," Hopkin said.
We Care has 60 locations from coast to coast and is located in almost every province (except Newfoundland and Labrador). They serve 700 communities and have 8,000 employees across the country, 150 in Brandon.
"Brandon is still one of our most striving offices," Hopkin said.
We Care provides a variety of services and has diversified over the years to providing more than just nursing or at home care. They offer drug testing for the oilfield sector, certified testing for the Department of Transportation, Infusion Clinics for patients with crohn's and colitis, child care, plus so much more.
We Care is 100 per cent Canadian owned. The success of this national company goes back to its roots.
"We are nurse-navigated, there are a lot of companies that we've seen crop up over the years and they do a great job of marketing their brand, but they're not nurses," Hopkin said.
"Even after all those years when Bev started the company, We Care still remains to this day nurse-navigated. A lot of our people at corporate office are nurses, and every We Care office is led by a nurse."
Celebrations for the anniversary are being held across the country throughout the year. For more information on We Care, visit the website: wecare.ca. Contact the Brandon office by calling 204-727-4222.

Just cant figure out my AC issue...
So I'm fairly handy and know how to search the internet for solutions, and I just can't seem to figure this out. I just bought myself a house and this is my first experience with central AC. The house was vacant for a while and I'm not sure when the last AC service was done. The AC unit was working wonderfully for 2 weeks. Then 2 days ago, I got to the house to work on it and the AC was not working. What I've done so far:
1. The pipes have not frozen over, I went into the crawlspace and checked the pipes.
2. I've reset the breakers inside and the breaker outside right by the condenser. The breakers are not tripped.
3. Made sure the unit is not set to just fan. The furnace fans run fine, but they are just recirculating the warm air inside the house.
4. I did some reading online, and I thought it may be the condensate pump, so I emptied the water out of the bottom and tried to reset everything, but it still isn't working. I checked the tube as much as I could and did not see a blockage along the drain line. It may be that the condensate pump is just broken, period- but I don't know how to tell that.
The outside condenser keeps trying to run, it hums for a second, but then shuts down. It does this every 15-30 min.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm hoping to try to save some money and figure this out without needing to call a repair tech out. I can purchase a new condensate pump and replace it, but didn't want spend the money to do that if I don't need to and it isn't the issue! TIA!
test your pump by filling it with water and seeing it come on an pump the water out.
what you are describing sounds like a defective dual feed capacitor in the outside unit or a burnt wire to it. These some times can be visually checked due to if it is swelled or leaking it is bad. they are in the control panel at the outside unit. they are cylinder shaped about the size or smaller that a soda can. Could be other things as well but that is the most common failure which matches your descrip.
Thanks for the response!
Hmm, well it was filled with water that I emptied, so if it was working it shouldn't have had water in it- right?
The DFC or burnt wire sounds a little beyond my fixing capacity and more along the lines of a repair guy :)
either way the pump has no way to cause the sounds you are hearing outside. they may prevent the outside unit from running but would break the 24v signal and you would hear nothing. your noise means the unit is trying to start and can't. this would prove to me you most likely have the 24v signal.
Time to call a tech and get the cap swapped out

Morgan Tsvangirai, head of the Zimbabwean Movement for Democratic Change(MDC) finally decided it was a waste of time to once again attend a meeting with President Mugabe who refuses to compromise on key issues. Of course, if he tried attending it would require a passport for the opposition leader, who actually won the presidential race in March, and Mugabe was in no hurry to issue one. Most probably, Tsvangirai has come to the realization that Mugabe is too frightened to surrender power given that his cronies have stolen millions and fear an honest government would send them to jail. He has repeatedly attempted to compromise, but Mugabe will not surrender any key posts in the Cabinet, particularly any related to law and order.
The ball is in the court of the African community. Will they allow the people of Zimbabwe to be oppressed and brutalized or will they assert the principle of democracy? There is not much Morgan Tsvangirai can dooth

Science does it again. Every time someone puts out a story about how bacon will kill you, the bacon lovers in the science community go to work. Although it only takes seconds of research to discover that bacon is the most amazing thing on the planet, it takes hours to show scientifically why. The latest breakthrough could be the best of them all.
We all know that people love to drink beer but hate that hung over feeling the next morning. It makes the next day a painful blur. But what if there was a miracle cure that would allow you to get as wasted as you want, and still be able to perform your duties of school bus driver the next day? Well now there is. It's called the "Bacon Buddyâ€.
This isn't some new drug that going to cost you hundreds of dollars, chances are you have everything you need in your kitchen right now. The bacon buddy is as simple as a couple of slices of bacon (cooked to your liking) and two pieces of bread.
That's right; a good old bacon sandwich is all you need. Elin Roberts, the science development manager at the Centre for Life says, "Food doesn't soak up the alcohol, but it does increase your metabolism.†The food helps you feel better because the bread is high in carbohydrate and the bacon is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids. Alcohol depletes neurotransmitters but the gift from the gods known as bacon contains a high level of amines which replenishes them, giving you a clearer head.
Elin Roberts is the same great scientist that showed us why we love the smell and taste of bacon. Mosley wrote about it early this week, you should check it out.
I love science.

Donate a Yearbook: Each year there are
students that do not receive a yearbook because their families cannot afford
one. Also each year, we have families and businesses that purchase extra
yearbooks for the purpose of donating one to those students that otherwise
could not afford one. These donated books are eligible for the
"Early Bird Special" - please consider purchasing an extra book or
two to help.
Senior Pictures - Senior pictures must be turned in by October 21st in order to be included in the 2017 yearbook. Photos should be vertical headshots in
similar dimensions to a traditional 5 by 7 shot. If your son or daughter
has had their picture taken with one of the major photographers in Hastings
that photographer will submit your son or daughter's directly to the HHS
Yearbook staff. If you need to submit a
senior picture directly there are three ways to submit a photo:
Submit electronically
via "ReplayIt" found on the Yearbook page of the HHS website
Submit electronically
via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
Bring a CD, flashdrive
or hard copy of the senior picture to Mrs. Shelhamer's room C224
Senior parents: We
are once again offering you the opportunity to purchase an ad in the Hastings
High School yearbook. For $30.00, you
can publicly recognize your son or daughter's achievement in a full color
business card sized ad. Unlike newspapers, the yearbook will not become brittle
and yellow with time. It won't lay
forgotten in a box in the back of a closet.
Instead, students will read and appreciate this tribute each time they
open their yearbook for years to come.

God always provides for his creation, and what He initiates, He sustains. He has provided for me a wonderful life-companion in my wife, He has provided a place to live, and I'm confident He will continue to provide and open up doors for me to use the gifts He's given me for His kingdom work. I want to follow the true and clear word of God, truth that cuts through all confusion that the enemy wants to spread, laying down my own ambition to be obedient to my Father's pleasing and perfect will for my life.
I became a Christian at a young age and re-dedicated my life to Christ at Green Bay Bible Camp when I was around 12 years old. I was baptized and wanted to take responsibility for my faith as an adolescent.
Growing up was very hard for me, as many physically and emotionally traumatic experiences with my health marked my initiation into adulthood. I had an ear tumour diagnosed, miraculously healed and disappear, only to come back again to be removed by what was my third major surgery on my left ear. I am left with very little hearing in my left ear but the message was given to me in prayer that in taking away my hearing, God wanted to give me his heart for music for me and cause me to listen to him with my heart. Since then I have developed a keen 'ear' for music and despite other health challenges, I have endeavoured to use music to praise my Saviour.

Taxes on Millionaires Make Great Politics, Poor Economicsby
In this age of austerity, many governments are looking for ways to fill gaps in their budgets by taxing the rich more. These proposals make for great politics, but terrible economics.
This week, the U.K.'s coalition government will produce its budget for the next year. Among proposals being discussed between the coalition partners is a so-called mansion tax -- an annual 1 percent levy on homes worth more than 2 million pounds ($3.2 million).
In Russia, meanwhile, President-elect Vladimir Putin has put forward a luxury tax to be levied on purchasers of high-end cars and real estate. In France, the Socialist Party's presidential candidate, Francois Hollande, is proposing a 75 percent tax rate on earnings above 1 million euros ($1.3 million). His conservative opponent, President Nicolas Sarkozy, has parried with proposals to tax the worldwide revenue of large French corporations and to collect taxes from fiscal exiles.
Hollande's plan may in turn have been inspired by the debate in the U.S., where President Barack Obama has proposed a surtax on Americans with incomes of more than $1 million. The plan is known as the Buffett Rule, after Warren Buffett, who argued for higher taxes on billionaires like himself.
Buffett should surely not pay a lower tax rate than his employees. But few of these proposals would make a dent in the budget deficits facing the countries involved. Buffett's own effective tax rate is lowered by the large proportion of his income that comes from dividends and capital gains, which incur lower tax rates than regular earnings. It isn't clear a surtax on the rich would change that.
Take the mansion tax idea in the U.K., which Prime Minister David Cameron has been trying to get his Liberal Democrat coalition partners to drop. The tax would raise about 1.7 billion pounds annually, according to a Liberal Democrat estimate, which the Institute for Fiscal Studies, a nonpartisan think tank in London, says is about right. That would barely scratch the budget deficit, which the institute projects to be 124 billion pounds over the next year.
The French Socialist party has estimated that its planned millionaires' tax would raise 200 million to 400 million euros, an insignificant figure. And analysts say revenue from the tax might well prove lower still, depending on how France's superrich respond.
As for the Buffett Rule in the U.S., the billionaire investor's "Je m'accuse" was laudable, but it also switched debate from whether to raise taxes on the top 1 percent of U.S. income earners, to whether to raise them on the top 0.1 percent. As we've said before, that's plain silly. Based on 2009 figures from the Internal Revenue Service, doubling the tax rate for the top 0.1 percent might raise approximately $190 billion a year in additional revenue, or 1.3 percent of gross domestic product -- one-sixth of the deficit reduction economists estimate would be needed to fix the U.S. government's long-term finances.
To give an idea of the distorting effect of ill-conceived taxes on the rich, consider the 50 percent tax rate for people earning more than 150,000 pounds that Gordon Brown, the U.K.'s last Labour prime minister, introduced just weeks before losing elections to Cameron in 2010. The U.K. Treasury estimated the increase would generate an extra 2.4 billion pounds a year, adjusted for all the people who would respond by leaving the country or designing ways to avoid the tax. If no one changed their behavior, the tax change would raise more than double that amount, 7.8 billion pounds. Cameron's government says it wants to reverse the 50 percent tax rate, just two years after it was introduced.
There is no single answer to fixing the tax systems of all developed economies, as their tax structures and cultures differ widely. But governments should clearly avoid the temptation to focus on the superrich alone and instead reach down to touch the upper middle classes. Doing so would be politically more difficult, because it would hurt more voters. But it's the only way to produce the kind of revenue that would really bring down budget deficits.
Just as important, governments should start real tax reform aimed at simplifying overly complex tax codes and eliminating exemptions and loopholes that distort behavior and favor above all the wealthy. That's an area where tax-resistant Americans and free-spending Europeans may find they have more in common than they think.

Driving the guns to Oregon is more a matter of federal law than of California's.
If you are in legal possession of the guns, federal law permits you to carry them across state lines without jeopardy, to any location where the guns will be legally possessed.
However, the question of whether or not you will be in legal possession of the guns is something which only an attorney can answer.
If your family has access to a California attorney, I suggest that you pay for a short consultation.
(If your father had died, and had left you the guns in his will, I believe that you'd be home free: The guns would become legally your possessions upon his death.)

According to Google, the most exciting things to look for with the newly updated version include:
- Comprehensive, accurate maps in 220 countries and territories
- Voice-guided GPS navigation for driving, biking, and walking
- Transit directions and maps for over 15,000 towns and cities
- Live traffic conditions, incident reports, and automatic rerouting to find the best route
- Detailed information on more than 100 million places
- Street View and indoor imagery for restaurants, museums, and more
- Search results appear right on the map with descriptions to help you make choices quickly
- Transit results now display total walking time of your trip and the next scheduled bus or train
- Access Terrain view from the side menu to get a 3D view of the landscape and elevation
Google has now explored land, space, water, and even time. With Google Maps, you can now go back in time to see what popular areas of the world looked like in times dating back to 2007.
Google has also recently further explored building interiors, art projects and destinations, and otherwise unexplored terrain to give users a look at some of the best places on earth. For instance, users can now "explore all nine floors and 450 square meters of painted ceilings and walls of the now-demolished Tour Paris 13 building with Street View." There are also impressive underwater views and photos using 360-degree panoramic SVII cameras.
Fans can also get in on more of the action by feeling like they are in the seats and taking in the stadiums of the world cup: "With Street View in Google Maps, you can explore the sights and culture of this year's tournament, from the 12 stadiums to the iconic painted streets, one of Brazil's tournament traditions."
The map is now completely interactive and can help you quickly find the best way to get to your destination by comparing multiple modes of transportation at once. The new 3D view is more true to form and offers a comprehensive 3D view. Destinations on the map are also now displayed on the side of the map, rather than obstructing the view of the map.
Pegman, the Google Street View mascot, has also seen some cosmetic improvements. He now dangles and can be dragged around the map, so his limbs and body react, depending on which direction you drag him.
With clearer graphics, a more personalized, interactive experience, and more locations explored around the world, users can now get a more comprehensive view of the world around them and easily find exactly what they want to do and where they want to be.

Awesome case.
I had luck using a drill bit to get a pilot hole and then using a nibbler to make some rather nice square holes. The nibbler can 'whiten' scar the immediate area around it if you get it to close to the edge of the plastic, but otherwise works great! Just make sure your nibbler has enough clearance for its cutter as compared to the thickness of this plastic.
First off, I'd like to say this board is awesome. I will definitely buy more for my next projects. How can they build these so cheap??
However, I do have a few cons, which if fixed, would make this item over the top:
1. The one I got is not like the picture shows. Most of the installed parts near the edge of the board are shifted around. Don't plan on putting your own connector on the same side of the board as the power and serial port if you get a board like I did.
2. The holes in the side rows of the PCB are Vcc and GND. It is hard to catch this with the eye, so don't plan on using those holes for anything other than their intended purpose (it got me!), unless of course you want to drill a hole or cut etch.
3. TX and RX on the board white print are labeled wrong (in my opinion). Just remember that you need to hook up the white RX on the dev board to TX on the PIC, and the white TX on the dev board to RX on the PIC. Another user previously noted this.
4. The regulator is a LM317, which allows you to use on an on-board jumper to change from default 5V to 3.3V rail for Vcc (how cool is this??). The product description says 78L05 part, but it's not. Even the schematic shows this. Also, if you buy a Sparkfun Project Case for this, the regulator is soldered on the board and sits so high that you won't be able to close the lid. I bent mine (too much work to desolder/resolder for me) at an angle and barely got it to fit just right, just looks crummy now in clear case. :( Also, keep in mind the arrangement of parts on the board I got has the back of the regulator up against some electrolytic capacitors, so no room for a heat sink.
5. J3, as shown in schematic, is not a header jumper. There are 3 surface pads located under the PIC on the bottom of the board and you must solder alter this jumper to change it.
Sparkfun, looks like you need to overhaul this project description and update to the latest picture. The new arrangement of parts threw me for a quick redesign of my project, and luckily I had other options to handle not getting the board in the picture. A quick rewrite of the description and picture update would alert potential buyers to the above main cons I have.
Even with the above issues, this board is awesome and I will be buying again, and again.
No public wish lists :(

Watch A Short Video
An important project is underway at the T.B. Williams Water Treatment Plant to ensure that all City of Lakeland water customers continue to receive the cleanest drinking water possible.
TLC Diversified, Inc., of Palmetto, Florida, the company contracted to complete the project, has a team of experienced professionals assigned to replace the sealant coating and filter nozzles of the six 43 foot long by 14 foot wide, by 10 feet high water filtering structures at the plant.
The three filter units use dual media (anthracite coal over silica sand) to remove suspended particles from the water to meet potable water standards and to ensure clear and safe finished water. Filtering achieves multiple water filtering objectives including control of color and clarity and removal of tastes, odors, organic compounds and disease-producing organisms.
These filters were constructed in 1983 with the last significant work done in 1999. The effects of normal wear and tear have degraded the integrity of the coatings, reduced the filtering efficiency and impaired equipment operation.
The process takes five to seven days to complete, per filter structure, weather permitting. The walls of the unit must meet strict temperature and moisture levels for the coating material to be applied. The process includes several steps. The tank must be drained then all adjacent equipment and exposed surfaces must be covered and sealed before the coating can be applied. After the coating has cured, the 1,300 nozzle caps are unscrewed then the nozzles are replaced with new assemblies. Finally, the new filtering media is added and water is reintroduced and tested prior to placing the filter back into service..
The project is planned to allow for the uninterrupted operation of the plant and is expected to last five months with a ten- year lifespan.
Twelve bids were received in December of 2009 with TLC Diversified's bid of $619,784 being the lowest, responsive and responsible proposal.
TLC Diversified specializes in water and wastewater treatment facility related projects. Their experience includes projects for the Cities of Tamarac, Clearwater, and Leesburg.
On Saturday, April 9th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the City of Lakeland's Solid Waste in coordination with the Polk County Solid Waste Division is sponsoring a FREE Household Hazardous Waste and End-Of-Life Electronics Collection Event, located at the Lakeland Center, 701 W. Lime Street, in the south parking lot west of WONN Radio Station. This Mobile Collection Event is intended to make it more convenient for our community to safely dispose of their waste and discarded electronic equipment.
Household Hazardous Waste - Accepted Materials
Paints, paint thinners, florescent light bulbs, motor oil, drain cleaners, pool chemicals, insecticides, household batteries, etc. No biohazard (medical) waste or business waste will be accepted.
End-Of-Life Electronics – Accepted Materials
Computers, monitors, keyboards, terminals, televisions, stereos, printers, fax machines, video games consoles, wireless devices, etc. No more than five items per household please.
Should you have any questions, please call Debbie Almon, Field Supervisor @ 834-8778.
The harvest has begun in the northeast well field property. Approximately 200 acres of pine trees originally planted in 1997 and 1998 are being removed. In December of 2008, the State of Florida advised the City of Lakeland that rehydration of the well field was required. Rehydration is the process of removing all non-native vegetation.
As a result of the well field improvement plan, the trees will be removed during the spring of 2011. They will be cut, stripped and transported to be converted into pine mulch and lumber. The timber values will be used to help offset a portion of the project expense.
Prior to the project beginning, an environmental expert spent several weeks surveying, locating and marking the nearly 50 gopher tortoise burrows throughout the area. Great care will be taken to avoid disturbing these habitats as the tree removal continues.
Site observations indicate that the pine tree forests are drier than other open land areas. The dry conditions are attributed to the effects of a multiple year drought which has had a significant impact on Florida's water resources.
The current pine tree forest will be replaced with a Bahia grass pasture which will reduce overall plant water demands, improve site hydrologic conditions, enhance surface water recharge of surface groundwater and improve wetland functions.
Bid prices ranged from $595,600 to $1,292,730 with Marcobay Construction's proposal for $595,600 being below the engineer's estimate of $904,104. The City Commission approved the construction agreement with Marcobay Construction Inc. of Lakeland, Florida on December 6, 2010.
The 860 acre Northeast Well Field serving the Combee Water Treatment Plant provides 4 million gallons of raw water per day.
Lakeland Police will hold a swearing in ceremony for Chief Lisa Womack on Friday, March 11, 2011, at City Hall Commission Chambers, 228 South Massachusetts Avenue, Lakeland, Florida at 1:00 p.m. Chief Womack will be introduced by City Manager Doug Thomas and Lieutenant John Thomason will preside as Master of Ceremonies. Mayor Gow Fields will also be in attendance.
The swearing in ceremony will be streaming live on the City of Lakeland website and televised live on our Lakeland Government Network, Channel 43 for Verizon FiOS and 615 for Brighthouse. The public and media are invited to attend. Due to limited space in City Hall we may need to utilize a pool camera if there is a large media attendance.
There will be a Meet and Greet reception for City of Lakeland employees following the swearing in ceremony at 2:30 p.m. to be held at the First United Methodist Church, 72 Lake Morton Drive in Lakeland.
The media is invited to attend. Chief Womack will be available to answer media questions at the beginning of the reception. Time allowed for formal media questions will be limited as this event is designed to be a casual and warm welcome for our new Chief.
Media inquiries should be directed to Sergeant Terri Smith, PIO, 863-834-6917. This information is also available on www.insidelpd.com.

Johnnie Hardin, a long-serving Springfield City Councilman, has passed away.
Hardin passed away June 15 at the Bluegrass Hospice Care Center in Lexington. He's known for his time on the Springfield City Council, as well as spending more than 50 years in the grocery business here.
Springfield Mayor Debbie Wakefield remembered Hardin as a dedicated soul who loved the city and the people he served.
Students at Washington County High School and Commander Academy will soon have the option of receiving a hot meal at no cost.
Washington County Schools Superintendent Robin Cochran said the high school and academy will join Washington County Elementary School, Washington County Middle School and North Washington School this fall in the Community Eligibility Provision program. The program is part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and schools are reimbursed for providing breakfast and lunch free of charge.

William A. "Billy" Webb is a sick man, but he's not letting the illness or stress bring him down.
The 62-year-old, who was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in 2011, is all smiles, even when recalling the worst moments of the cancer that affects him to this day.
"It's one disease you just deal with and go on," Billy said, "and eventually it'll do me in, but until then, I'm going to laugh."
Toyotomi is nearing the end of a three-year project, but it isn't quite through just yet.
The Springfield manufacturer, which was incorporated in 1998 and began production in 2000, recently completed another part of its expansion project and will add more jobs in the community.
According to Craig Miller, the vice president of administration at Toyotomi, the project was started because of new business the plant received and will begin supplying this month.
The Sansbury Care Center recently welcomed a new member to its staff.
Pamela Brooks, the center's new administrator. She said she was very pleased and honored with the opportunity to join Sansbury and is looking forward to serving its residents and the surrounding community.
"I'm very blessed to have gotten this position here at Sansbury," she said.
Young boys and girls interested in golf got the chance to test and improve their skills last week at Lincoln Homestead State Park.
A junior golf clinic was held June 5-8 for boys and girls between the ages of 12-14 at the golf course. Park Manager Bobby Bartholomai said he started the clinic to give kids the chance to get out on the course to play golf and help them improve their skillsets.
"We do it every year, I try to do it right after they get out of school," Bartholomai said. "Normally the first full week of June."
Baseball is a tough and demanding sport, and many are passionate in their love for the game. While some devote their time to playing on the field, others offer their services in other ways, such as coaching and officiating. This is what Joey Spalding, the vice president and loan officer at Springfield State Bank, has devoted his free time to since the early 2000s.
"I've been around baseball a long time," Spalding said.
It was like something that came straight out of someone's worst nightmare.
Springfield K-9 officer Nick Holmes carefully made his way into a nondescript building and through the halls with his patrol rifle. Step by step, he tiptoed around the body of a victim as the loud crack of gunshots echoed from deeper within, getting louder with each passing breath.
Without warning, a woman who came running for help was grabbed across the chest by a gunman and used as a human shield.
It ended with a crowd swarming to catch a closer look – and maybe photo of – 2018's Distinguished Young Woman Saturday night.
Sarah Downs, 17, daughter of Elaine and the late Stephen Downs, was given the title after winning awards for fitness, spirit, self expression, interviewing and preliminary scholastics during the 44th annual event.
"Oh, my gosh," Downs said. "I'm on top of the world right now."
She said she was elated when she heard her name called, but was nervous at the same time.
Washington County Schools
A former Washington County Commanderette is returning as the high school's new principal.

Martyn Lawrence-Bullard Design
Martyn Lawrence-Bullard Designs, an award winning LA based design firm, has had me ooh aahing over their rich luxurious designs, inspired by India, Morocco and Central Asia. I can't get past the gorgeous textiles used in the homes designed by the firm! When I do get past the textiles, I am arrested by the lovely furniture and their handpicked accessories. Putting all these elements together, while some rooms have too much going on for them, some rooms are just the perfect balance of colors, textures and fabrics. Tell me, which ones do you like the best?

Left: The LF-Xh Hybrid Concept from the 2008 Paris motor show may give an idea of what a future Lexus compact SUV could look like.
19 August 2011
By RON HAMMERTON in PEBBLE BEACH
LEXUS is preparing to make a decision on an all-new model that its Australian arm is itching to get its hands on – a compact SUV to take the fight up to the BMW X1 and Audi Q5.
The prestige Japanese company is also considering whether to add a right-hand-drive version of its next-generation Lexus ES mid-sizer after it goes into production in the next year or so, which might pave the way for the reinstatement of the Camry-based luxury car in the Australian line-up.
These imminent decisions were confirmed today by Lexus global product chief, Australian-born Canadian Karl Schlicht, when speaking with Australian journalists at the global debut of the all-new Lexus GS at Pebble Beach, California.
Mr Schlicht, who is general manager of the Lexus product and marketing planning division, said the compact SUV was "going through serious study right now", but no decision had been made on production or timing.
He said a small SUV had been proposed multiple times previously, but had been knocked back.
This time, however, the latest iteration would go before the new-look, streamlined Lexus product committee, which might change its fortunes.
Left: Current US-market Lexus ES."So, we will see whether it goes through," he said. "It hasn't been finalised yet or approved, but it is under serious study."
Lexus Australia chief executive Tony Cramb told GoAuto in March that a compact SUV was one area that he would like to see covered in the local line-up.
"That is definitely an area we are going to have to deal with," he said. "There is nothing that we have formally announced at this time, but it is clear that we will need to do something in that area."
Mr Schlicht, who was born in Australia and lived in Melbourne until he was five before his German-born parents moved to Canada, said Lexus was also looking at a seven-seat vehicle, "but that's a little further away".
He said confirmed that the next-generation mid-sized, front-drive ES had had the tick of approval from the Lexus committee, at least in left-hand-drive form.
But he said it was still to be decided if it would be developed for right-hand-drive markets such as Australia.
"We are close to doing that – that's all I can say," he said.
That decision is likely to hinge on whether the UK and Australia both want the vehicle, which was discontinued in Australia at the end of 2005.
Viewed as a Camry with a bow tie, the ES has been overshadowed by the rear-drive IS, which itself is due to be replaced with a redesigned model in 2013. However, the ES has continued on sale elsewhere, with greater differentiation from its donor car helping to put it back on track.
Asked if the new ES could be sold in Australia, Mr Schlicht said: "It's possible."
Asked if Lexus was considering a new sportscar, perhaps to replace the SC, Mr Schlicht said Lexus was first aiming to ramp up its 'F' variants, with F Sport enhancements locked in for GS, LS and RX.
He said Lexus was also considering more hardcore F sports variants to follow up on the success of the IS F, adding that was easier than developing an all-new sportscar.
"IS F is not a one-off," he said. "The F concept is a stronger pillar of our brand right now."

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was suppose to recieve a student loan to cover a semester of schooling. I turned in all my paperwork on time and waited for my financial aid department to process everything. I checked up on my financial aid advisor every week, she assurred me everything was fine. They ended up not processing my information and the loan was never disbursed. My advisor then advised me to pull a private loan (Sallie Mae) to cover the debt. I did so. Can my Sallie Mae loan be forgiven? Can Legal action be taken against the school as the debt is the result of their negligence? What steps can I take now?The amount in question is $5,000
I do not see negligence. You need to return to the financial aid office and receive an explanation as to your staus and availabilty for whatever loans you think you are entitled to. Good luck in school. Those are the steps in my humble opinion. I have yet to encounter a financial aid department, which exists to assist students, in being negligent. You recieved a loan, correct?Ask a similar question
Thank you. I did not recieve my original loan I was forced to pull a private loan to cover the debt owed from the loan not being processed in time.
Very unlikely that you can bring any claim against the school or financial aid staff. You got the money and the money paid for education which you also received. So, your claim is not for forgiveness of your debt but, potentially, for the difference in terms between the loan you wanted to make and the terms of the loan you ended up making. The law is against you on this. You were not forced to borrow at all; you cannot prove that the loan you made is the only one you could have made. Most conclusively, your financial aid application materials expressly waived any claim on this basis. In short, there is no actionable claim for negligence here.
My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. I give legal advice only in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me. That relationship is established only by individual consultation and execution of a written agreement for legal services.Ask a similar question
I doubt there is any legitimate claim against the school. If you had a written agreement, and they failed to honor the agreement, then you could have a claim.Ask a similar question

RCom raises Rs 4,800 cr via biggest QIP to reduce debt
Jun 25 2014 , Mumbai
"The fund raising will help the company reduce high-cost rupee debt, which has doubled in the last four years, and save close to Rs 800 crore in interest cost," a person close to the development said.
The issue was lapped up by funds based in the US, Singapore and Hong Kong and other parts of Asia.
Post issue, the promoter shareholding will drop to 60 per cent from 67 per cent while foreign investors will hold 23 per cent.
This was the biggest QIP fund raising by a private company, the previous ones being a Rs 4,000 crore issue by the Adani group and a Rs 3,966 crore one by GMR.
The RCom issue was priced at Rs 142 a share, a 5 per cent discount to the Sebi-adjusted price of Rs 149.61. The promoters also subscribed to around 8.67 crore warrants worth Rs 1,300 crore. The company issued 40-43 crore fresh shares, including those to the promoters.
The promoter/promoter group entities will be required to pay 50 per cent of the subscription amount on the date of allotment of the warrants and the balance 50 per cent on or before March 31, 2015, the company said in a posting to the stock exchanges. RCom shares closed 0.03 per cent higher at Rs 151.40 a share on Wednesday.
The QIP issue received overwhelming response from 'long-only' investors in the US, West Asia and various parts of Asia, people close to the development told Financial Chronicle. The share sale received total bids worth Rs 12,000 crore, which increased the issue size by 60 per cent from a base of Rs 3,000 crore.
For the quarter ended March 31, RCom posted a 48.5 per cent drop in consolidated net profit at Rs 156 crore from a year earlier. Revenue increased 5.36 per cent to Rs 5,405 crore

It's no secret that Sandy is going through a lot of changes as it approaches its 100th birthday in 2013. But even though hundreds of new apartments and houses may spring up and farmland may turn into businesses, there's one thing you can always count on to virtually stay the same: The Sandy Mountain Festival, now in its 34th year.
Sandy residents are accustomed to welcoming their neighbors from around the Portland area and elsewhere to enjoy this celebration of all things mountain - the food, friends, talent and sense of community that makes Sandy unique.
Every year, the first weekend after Independence Day means there will be an exciting parade on the highway, a bunch of people selling things in the woods at Meinig Park and an overall buzz in the community.
Festival fun kicks off at 7 p.m. Thursday with the annual Sandy Mountain Festival parade. Grab your chairs, friends and family and join thousands of other people along Pioneer Boulevard between Bluff Road and Wolf Drive to enjoy this year's theme, 'Lookin' for Adventure.' Look for The Sandy Post's special parade entry.
From 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Meinig Park will be alive with activity as artisans from across the street and around the country come to share their handicraft wares and local community groups sell delicious food of many nationalities and flavors.
You can almost bet on the fact that again, the line for the cinnamon-ly delicious elephant ears will stretch across the park. Sandy Fire, as always, will open up its engine bay after the parade to anyone who wants to get up close and personal with fire trucks. Kiwanis member D.J. Anderson will, once again, loudly broadcast the delicious traits of the 'world-famous Kiwana-bar.' The Mountain Man again will spin clay while telling tales of 'Old Sandy,' and children will come alive when Valentine's Performing Pigs come to town again, this time performing on the newly renovated Birdcage Theater.
There's so much going on that we had to put all the information into its own publication. For the best information on the Sandy Mountain Festival, read the special Mountain Festival guide included in this week's Sandy Post. There you will learn more about the individual events, performers, vendors and dining opportunities.
