Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
Print version ISSN 0004-282X
SILVA, Amauri Batista da; PRATESI, Riccardo and BRASIL NETTO, Joaquim Pereira. Alexia without agraphia: a clinico-tomographic study. Arq. Neuro-Psiquiatr. [online]. 1986, vol.44, n.3, pp.267-274. ISSN 0004-282X. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0004-282X1986000300007.
The authors report the clinical findings and CT-scanning results in two cases of alexia without agraphia and review the literature on this subject. Both patients had extensive infarction in the territory supplied by the left posterior cerebral artery and developed severe alexia without agraphia, right hemianopia without color-anomia and one of them presented with transient verbal memory difficulties. In both cases the evolution was very good, with total regression of the alexia after 17 months in the first patient and almost complete recovery after there months in the second one. The authors comment on the causes and possible mechanisms of the alexias, especially of the alexia without agraphia, and suggest that every patient with right hemianopic disturbances due to occlusion of the left posterior cerebral artery be thouroughly studied from a neurological point of view, so that this syndrome can be detected since, notwithstanding its recognized rarity, it seems highly probable that many cases have been overlooked as a result of incomplete examination of the patients.

Fawn Loyd - Charged With Stealing Flowers, Stuffed Animals And Flags From Cemetery Grave Sites
Tampa, Florida (The Weekly Vice) - Fawn Charbonier Loyd, a 50-year-old Florida woman was jailed after she was allegedly caught steeling hundreds of dollars worth of mementos from a Tampa area grave site.
According to police, a passer-by at the Myrtle Hill Cemetery watched Thursday as Loyd went from grave to grave removing hundreds of dollars worth of mementos and then placing them into her car.
Officers called to the scene found various items inside her car including flowers, stuffed animals, flags, figurines, solar powered lights and balloons.
When the officer approached Loyd, she denied stealing anything and stated that she came to the cemetery to pray. When the officer asked for identification, she stated that she did not have one and provided the officer with a false name.
She was booked into jail on charges of disturbing contents of a grave or tomb, grand theft, loitering and prowling.

eBay Inc.
(Nasdaq: EBAY)
Phone: 408-369-4830
Website: www.ebay.com
Price (11/6/98): $84
Going, going, gone! Shares of online auctioneer eBay keep going to the highest bidder, which has meant nothing but good things for those who were willing to take a chance on the upstart's initial public offering (IPO) in September.
At the time, the climate for new offerings was unforgiving. Given the rocky stock market over the latter part of the summer, most companies put their publicly traded future on hold. After an IPO drought that lasted about a month, the company figured, good or bad market, it would do what any of its 1.2 million registered users would do if they had something to sell -- it went ahead and put it on the block.
Priced at $18 a share, the new kid on the block became a prized commodity on opening day, more than doubling on the first trade. However, the shares began to give back those first-day gains, and two weeks later it dipped as low as $25 1/4. That is when the analysts who helped manage eBay's debut sounded the bullish bell. With a price target of $50, followed by another analyst setting the bar at $100 once the $50 mark was reached, the bidding wars turned to the company's prospects.
eBay was a unique entity -- a young Internet community purveyor that had reported consistent profitability. An example of solid fiscal management in the early stages of development, the company has been in the black each and every quarter in 1997, and so far over the first three quarters in 1998. Meager. Scant. Pennies. Yet definite.
With the shares logging on to some serious gains since the early October lows, the gavel has struck kindly towards eBay shareholders. The company many figured was crashing the Internet frenzy bash too late has proven to be the life of the party.
eBay's website claims that more than 28 million items have been successfully auctioned off since inception. Right now there are close to a million items being auctioned in 1,000 different product categories. Registration is free and there are no fees for a customer to bid on or purchase the wide assortment of products for sale. The seller pays a small placement fee of no more than $2 per insertion and then pays eBay a small percentage of any completed sale.
Income Statement
12-month sales: $30.5 million
12-month income: $1.1 million
12-month EPS: $0.03
Profit Margin: 3.6%
Market Cap: $3124.8 million
Balance Sheet
Cash: $74.5 million
Current Assets: $82.1 million
Current Liabilities: $7.3 million
Long-term Debt: $0.1 million
Price-to-earnings: 2800
Price-to-sales: 102.5
I am one of those 1.2 million registered eBay users. I remember stumbling across the site late last year and didn't know what to expect. I figured it was nothing more than the company-product-stocked online auction houses run by the likes of ONSALE (Nasdaq: ONSL) and Egghead.com (Nasdaq: EGGS).
Nope. It was the ultimate Internet experience. Ordinary folks were getting together online to buy a fellow user's hand-me-downs. Before I knew it, I was bidding on everything from serigraph cel art to obsolete video game software. Earlier this year, I had a piece of music studio recording equipment I wanted to sell and quickly found a buyer on the other coast.
Hooked on the site, I too was excited when I heard that eBay decided to go public. But like any red-hot IPO, only the prized accounts at the underwriter's brokerage house had a shot at the $18 pricing. Having learned from investors who got burned chasing scorched offerings like Netscape (Nasdaq: NSCP) and Boston Chicken (Nasdaq: BOSTQ), it was understandable why some may have been hesitant to commit to eBay in the high $40s.
But when an uneasy market began to correct even further, complete with speculators bailing out of recent issues with a vengeance, the stock was bid down to the mid $20s. That was when considering the upcoming Motley Fool book Rule Breakers, Rule Makers would have come in handy. eBay has been a rule breaker. In a cutthroat world of online diversions, the company has lined up more than a million believers. Whereas leaders like Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) continue to lose money in an effort to win market share or, like Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO), repel profitability until they are well established, eBay has consistently been in the black.
Community, profitability... all this and an IPO that represented less than 10% of the total shares outstanding resulted in a quality Internet brand name with a ridiculously meager float. When demand waned, as was the case in early October, the shares got slammed. When buyers returned, as one figured they would for a company like eBay, the shares raced right back and then some.
Why did eBay go public in the first place? While one can argue that the company was already making money, it is clear that it had more ambitious intentions than existing cash flow could finance. A few weeks after going public, the company announced a radio and print ad marketing campaign. It also continued to transform its cyber flea market into an online community by launching "About Me" personal Web pages. Like Tripod and GeoCities (Nasdaq: GCTY), the goal is to create dependency by providing virtual homesteads.
Armed with almost $75 million in cash, the company can now also pursue more lucrative banner advertising partnerships to draw in new users. The offering makes sense. The company makes sense. Does the stock make sense?
Analyst Lauren Cook Levitan, in initiating coverage with a "buy" rating on behalf of BancBoston Robertson Stephens, forecast revenues of $72.0 million next fiscal year, $118.5 in Year 2000, and $165.0 come fiscal 2001. At a recent market valuation of $3 billion, the company is selling at 18 times revenues that are three years away.
Then again, her $50 price target was eclipsed a week later. That is when Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette's Jamie Kiggen issued a $100 price target. With the puny float, these targets have become self-fulfilling prophecies. But do investors realize that Kiggen's 6-12 month target comes with a $4 billion price tag on eBay?
I love eBay. But, sorry, no bid from me this time. With the volatility sure to continue, I'll do what I do when I see something I like on eBay -- I wait for it to fetch an attractive price and then make sure I don't overbid.

Welcome to the club...there's been a couple of us pick them up lately...I just took mine to the range for the second time tonight. I love it.
Just picked up a new KAHR CW9 today. Traded in my p.o. crap SCCY to the dealer. Looking forward to taking it to the range. Very nice gun.
Welcome to the club...there's been a couple of us pick them up lately...I just took mine to the range for the second time tonight. I love it.
I'm one of the others...love mine, too. I find the accuracy to be great.
Going back to the range tomorrow. I have 250 rounds through mine. My only issue has been a failure of the slide to lock back at the end of the magazine. It's happened 3 times, in rounds 100-200...nothing in the last 50. Shop guys claim that I might have a 'lazy thumb'. I'm pretty sure of my grip. I think it maight have been due to the mag not sitting all the way in.
Elmer & Murdoch,
Please keep me updated and I will do the same. I think we made a good choice in Handguns. This sure is an upgrade from my SCCY CPX1 ! Have fun.
No problem, Joe. Went back to the range and out another 100 through. Really getting adjusted and improving each time (I'm a relatively new shooter). Still very pleased with the choice. I had one more instance of the slide failing to lock and am not sure what's going on. I'll contact Kahr this week to see what they say. Everything else is flawless.
Just ordered an 8-round mag with grip extender, as well as an IWB holster. Although, I am still waiting on my CCW permit. 29 days now. Murdoch, didn't you get yours in 21? Who should I contact? Probate court or sheriff?
Well, I honestly cant remember the EXACT time it took, somewhere between 3 and 5 weeks. I've heard as long a 3 months before, but that was not the case for me.
Guess I was clean
As for my CW9, check my update here
glad you've gotten it broken in now.
Surely I'm clean...they ask the same dang questions on the form as when I bought the CW9 and my shotgun.
Murdoch, how are you carrying it, or have you yet?
Just kidding. So far, I've been carrying in an inexpensive Bianchi IWB, which was the ONLY thing my store/range had to fit it. I have on order a Galco M7X belt holster for a simple (and cheap!) range/knock around holster.
I'm debating a Comp-tac MTAC or something similar for dressy carry (tuckable), and will probably eventually get a nice Galco leather belt holster when I don't have to worry so much about concealment, or when I have a covering shirt/coat.
How 'bout you?
got a desantis 'tuck-this' IWB on the way. not too expensive and has the mag holder built in. j-hook can supposedly be moved to allow for different modes of carry, but I'm thinking small of back right now for better concealment. More than anything, I want it in the truck, so the built-in mag holder is a plus since it will always be together
Good choice in a CCW pistol. Mine has over 550 rounds through it without a hitch. I carry mine in a High Noon "Bare Asset" IWB and it conceals great and is very comfortable. Costs $25 plus shipping and HN stocks them. They also have a tuckable version for $35. The holster is very thin but I have no problem reholstering one handed. I have one for my Glock 19 as well.
Hey Big Joe I just shot the CW9 for the frist time Sunday at the range and man I am sold on that little pistol. It's light and will conceal easy but most important it was accurate. I really liked it. Good luck with yours.
Just went to the range with my CW9. Shot 100 rounds without any problem. Well the only problem is I have to practice to get more consistent patterns of fire. I really like the feel of this gun also. Thanks for sharing.

Bill Vardy - Champ to the locals - loved his fishing, took daily walks, and was the sole carer for his invalid wife.
An active 76-year-old who had never been in hospital in his life, Mr Vardy died last June, just over two weeks after being admitted to Campbelltown Hospital for a routine gall bladder operation.
His daughters, Deb Vardy and Chris Thomson, and son, Michael, had concerns about his care soon after his operation, but had placed their trust in their local hospital.
They were just starting to come to terms with his death when they heard that Nola Fraser, one of the whistleblower nurses, wanted to speak to them.
She had concerns about Mr Vardy's treatment - specifically, that he did not receive enough oxygen during his operation.
Shock and grief soon turned to anger.
"We thought 'what do you mean he didn't have enough oxygen' - you just sort of shook your head, and thought 'what were they doing?'," Mrs Thomson said.
Ms Vardy, her sister, said: "It was such a simple operation - a gall bladder operation. It begs the question, how could it have happened. He had a good quality of life with his bowls and his fishing, and he was just robbed of it overnight."
The family thought about the nurse's revelations, and at the 11th hour decided to make a submission to the Special Commission of Inquiry into Camden and Campbelltown Hospitals. It was accepted, although commissioner Bret Walker is yet to report on their case.
"We have just been watching what has been happening, and really not knowing if we should be doing anything about it or not," Ms Vardy said. "It was only the prompting of the nurses that convinced us to do the right thing and bring it to the attention of the inquiry. Their practices are obviously very tainted and it needs addressing."
After the operation, Mr Vardy seemed breathless, but was left alone to shuffle up and down the corridors of the hospital, telling his daughters "you've got to fend for yourself here".
He was then transferred to intensive care. Early the next morning the daughters received a call telling them to come to the hospital as soon as possible because their father had had "another heart attack".
"We said, 'what do you mean another major heart attack?"' Mrs Thomson said.
It was then they were informed their father had had a heart attack on the operating table, but neither he nor his family had been told.
"Because he had the heart attack on the operating table, he should have been taken to the cardiac ward or the ICU, but he just wasn't given a chance to recover - our view is that they exercised their own form of euthanasia," Ms Vardy said.
He was transferred for a time to Nepean Hospital, where his condition was closely monitored, then moved back to Campbelltown when he improved. He died there on June 25.
There was no mention of an autopsy or referring the death to the coroner, the sisters told the Herald.
If the Walker inquiry finds negligence in their father's care, the family plan to take civil action. They say any money awarded will be used to fund the care of their mother, Joyce, who was left disabled after a stroke in 1990.
"He was an active, healthy man who had six-monthly GP check-ups and a week of tests before the operation . . . how could this have gone so wrong?"

reznor heater blowing cold
i have a reznor tcore3 in my hot yoga studio. installed 2002, been blazing since then.
lately, when it gets to around 90 degrees, it gets stuck in the cooling cycle. there's a call for heater, the burner lights, burns for about a minute, then turns off and the blower turns on. it runs for a while and starts all over again.
in the last few weeks, i've replaced the relay and the high-limit switch (which we thought might be getting stuck on) and improved the air intake.
this heater is the core of my business, help!
My guess would have also been the limit. Not to sound too much like your dad or anything but if this is the core of your business why have you not called a repair man for weeks?
thanks for your fatherly concern. i have had my hvac guy in 4 times in the last 3 weeks and he is completely confounded.
in my post, i said I replaced the limit switch already and the pressure switch and flame sensor. we also cleaned the burner.
when it codes, it is coding for the pressure sensor stuck open and then later in the process (10 min?) of the cooling cycle for the high limit switch. the weird part is that the limit doesn't cool in a few minutes like usual and kick the burner back on, it keeps blowing cold and cycling the burner off after 6o seconds or so.

Gas safety
If you have a gas appliance, it should be properly installed and maintained at regular intervals by an engineer who is on the Gas Safe Register.
If you have any doubts about the safety of your gas appliances, contact your local Gas Safe Registered engineer and request a full gas safety check. You can find a registered engineer in your area by visiting the Gas Safe Register website or contacting them on the below number:
- Gas Safe Register website
- telephone: 0800 408 5500
The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI) has put together a list of common questions about gas safety. These can be found at the following link:
Carbon monoxide poisoning
It's important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning as it can be fatal. The gas is difficult to detect because it is colourless, tasteless, odourless and non-irritating. You can take steps to help reduce the risk of exposure to the gas.
Signs and symptoms
The signs and symptoms are often mistaken for other illnesses, such as food poisoning or flu. The symptoms can be similar to flu but without a raised temperature.
Look out for the following signs and symptoms and consider if carbon monoxide poisoning could be the cause:
- headaches
- nausea and vomiting
- exhaustion
- drowsiness
- dizziness and lightheadedness
- flu-like symptoms
- palpitations (feeling your heart beat oddly)
- chest pain
- collapse without necessarily losing consciousness, followed by unconsciousness
You can find out more in the guide below:
If you think you might be suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, you should:
- immediately turn off all appliances
- go outside
- seek medical help from a qualified healthcare professional
Carbon monoxide poisoning can also cause long-term health problems if you're exposed to low doses over a long period of time.
Appliances should not be used again until they have been serviced by a registered engineer.
Reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
To minimise the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning:
- install an audible carbon monoxide alarm (from as little as £20) that meets British or European standards (BS Kitemark or EN 50291)
- regularly get your appliances serviced
- sweep chimneys and flues every year if you use solid fuel
- if you are in rented accommodation, ask your landlord to provide you with an up-to-date gas safety record, which is a legal requirement and is particularly important for students renting houses and flats
- keep flues, air vents and grilles clear and make sure rooms are well ventilated
Carbon monoxide poisoning can affect anyone. However, children, students, the elderly, pregnant women and anyone with heart or breathing problems are more vulnerable to its effects.

Wednesday, January 18,2011: Never Too Young
You're never too young to start enjoying music. Most people would agree with that.
But add "to start enjoying original, contemporary music" and people begin to squirm.
The Berg Orchestra is changing that, with their annual NuBerg Award recognizing local, original, contemporary music compositions commissioned by the orchestra. And we, the public – regular people – get to vote for the winner, now through Feb 12.
Even if some among us may think they don't like contemporary music.
But The Berg is making it temptingly easy to vote. The ballot and the audio for all six entries is currently on The Berg Orchestra's website and each composition can be listened to uncut. There are even listening docks around the city – at the Municipal Library, Archa Theatre, and The New Stage – where you can get details and also listen to the selections.
As Eva Kesslová, public relations director for The Berg Orchestra tells Opus Osm, "NuBerg is a great opportunity to sample new music without any risk — no pricey tickets, and the opportunity to switch to another work in case I don't like the one I am listening to [on the website].""And it's fun to be able to influence who wins and which work is going to be performed at the Berg Orchestra Opening Concert of the 2012 Series," she adds.
There are two prizes: 5,000 Czech crowns for the winner of the "public" vote, and 10,000 Czech crowns for the winner named by the "professional musicians" jury. Raffle winners from the public will receive prizes such concert and movie tickets, books, and CDs at the opening concert Mar 5.
Listening to the NuBerg candidates is a great way to learn about contemporary music – and how varied it is. This year's entries offer something for everyone. Mrs Kesslová notes that at a discussion with some of the composers held recently at the Municipal Library, one man "told everybody that before he started going to our concerts, he thought contemporary music was horrible," she says. Now he's a subscriber to the Berg's entire concert series.
She adds, "We've had many reactions like this: 'I don't care what names are on the program – and I don't know them, anyway.
But I trust the orchestra.'"
You can't get a better vote of confidence than that. — oo

Tonight on my way to my buddy's house, I hear a loud KATONK sound underneath my car like something bounced around down there, and then the exhaust got loud. Didn't feel like I was losing any power though.
I got to my friend's house and had him rev it a little bit while I looked under the car and I found it.
There's a little bung on the Driver's side of the high-flow cat. It looks like something's' supposed to screw into there, and I'm guessing that's what flew out of my exhaust.
Does anyone know what belongs there? An 02 sensor or something? I need to get this fixed.

Does a journalist's point of view make them complicit in any potential crimes they report on?
North Dakota State's Attorney Ladd Erickson appears to think so, which is why after dropping criminal trespassing charges against Democracy Now host Amy Goodman, he has upgraded charges against the venerable leftist journalist to the far more serious accusation that Goodman participated in a riot when covering protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline this past September.
The protests against the pipeline took a violent turn when private security guards pepper-sprayed demonstrators and unleashed dogs on them. Goodman—who makes no secret that she's in full support of the protests—covered these incidents for Democracy Now. In Erickson's view, that forfeits her First Amendment rights as a journalist. Per the Bismarck Tribune:
"She's a protester, basically. Everything she reported on was from the position of justifying the protest actions," said Erickson, adding that her coverage of the Sept. 3 protest did not mention that people trespassed during the incident or the alleged assaults on guards.
"Is everybody that's putting out a YouTube video from down there a journalist down there, too?" he asked.
If this is all Erickson is going on for charging Goodman, he is demonstrating a frightening misunderstanding of the concept of a free press. One does not require special accreditation from the government, nor a a demonstrated "objectivity," to report on news as it happens.
Goodman's case is not the only Dakota pipeline-related arrest making news. Documentary producer Deia Schlosberg—who works with Gasland director Josh Fox—is reportedly facing felony charges for "conspiracy to commit theft of property and services" while she was covering what protesters themselves described as "sabotage" of the pipeline's emergency valves in a coordinated action earlier this month. These protesters freely admit they cut down fences, broke into valve stations, and manually shut down emergency valves. As Vice noted last year, this is a surprisingly easy but potentially dangerous thing to do (especially if caring for the environment is a concern):
The momentum of the contents in the line running into a shut valve, especially one shut very quickly, can cause major pressure build-up and that pressure could release in unpredictable ways. Yes, it is within the realm of possibility that something could burst and cause a spill. It's a pipeline, they can and do break.
On his Facebook page, Fox wrote that authorities "threw the book at Deia for being a journalist." Fox says she wasn't an active particpant in the protest, but merely covering it. It's unclear at this point what exactly Schlosberg was doing while covering the pipeline sabotage, though if the protest involved breaking and entering, trespassing, and disrupting energy infrastructure, it begs the question of whether or not the First Amendment indemnifies journalists who accompany people engaging in criminal activity.
In Goodman's case, however, it's been more than a month since the protests she covered, and Erickson has not publicly released any evidence that Goodman rioted or incited a riot or did anything other than report on the scene.
It appears the prosecutor intends to use her publicly stated point of view as evidence against her. If that's all he's got, it's a chilling affront to the concept of a free press and should not be permitted to stand.
Watch Goodman's report that has now led to charges against her below:

One year ago my friend Martin Howey received a devastating diagnosis from his doctor. What Martin did next was truly inspirational and showed amazing courage, grace and dignity. Today, Martin has been truly blessed with a new lease on life and what he's doing with this gift is inspirational, to say the least. This is clearly a departure from my usual episode but I know that you'll be moved and very glad that you watched it. Please share it with your friends.
Nice! Great to see others who do something "Big" after they over come a major challenge like that.
Great story about Martins perspective and approach to his life after his diagnosis, and his "miracle" recovery from his diagnosis. Prayer is absolutely helpful, and Martin has been renewed and released to continue his work and emphasis for the rest of his life. His heart is right, his intentions are pure, and for that I am thankful and honored to being associated with him. " Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value "
– Albert Einstein
Thanks for bringing this to us.
Thanks Miguel, Martin is a true inspiration and great friend.
Martin Howey provided "over the top" value to my life and business. Thank you Jim for bringing him to us. I did not know what he went thru. Knowing you and Martin, I can only say I know of no other persons that have more deserved their healing than you guys, thru your value to others.

Burger King: Tomato Pickers Sue for Back Pay
Sixteen tomato pickers are suing Miami-based Burger King and Subway for back wages.
Under a 2008 agreement with a group called the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, the tomato pickers were supposed to get a living wage for their work from the restaurant chains. They didn't.
So they are claiming unspecified damages.
The suit was filed Wednesday in Miami Dade Circuit Court by a Miami hero, Greg Schell, a Harvard educated lawyer -- fluent in Creole -- who has been a thorn in the side of farm owners for decades.
Schell is seeking back wages -- an extra penny a pound the restaurants agreed to pay. He says the companies have refused to communicate honestly with him about the issue.
Oddly, the coalition doesn't support the lawsuit, according to the Washington Post.
Way to go, Greg.

Makapu'u Lookout: Different Perspective2012-06-15 1 Share Tweet
There is a small stop on the way to Makapu'u Beach – a scenic point, that showcases views unparalleled to most other lookouts. On the east side of Oahu, there is a highway named Kalaninaole Hwy, which runs all the way next to the beaches and the coasts, passing through various towns. If you follow the scenic route, you will hit Makapu'u Beach, one of my favorite beaches on the east side.
It's simply glorious, with bleach white, fluffy sand, and turquoise clear water. Next to the beach is a lookout point, where you can park you car and take in the wonderful nature around the beach, as far as the eye can see. This is Makapu'u Lookout.
The lookout consists of various rock levels that you can walk up, via stairs, to see different views of the surrounding beaches. I suppose the lookout itself is nothing special, but it is a great instrument that can be used to see nature in a fantastic way.
From the lookout, towards the opposite side of Makapu'u, you can see another, smaller beach. It's contained within a seemingly lagoon-like formation, with mountains running up around it. The locals call it Cockroach Cove, but for whatever reason, I have never learned.
From the lookout, you are situated pretty far up in the air, since the Kalaninaole Hwy runs up and down the mountain side. The high altitude is key to seeing the great views, but looking down might be a bit frightening.
What else can I say about the views? The beachside goes on for miles until it disappears around the bend of the island.
The unique rock formations from the lookout can be visually studied and better appreciated from the great viewpoint.
Remember, lookouts are great for views. They help you to see different perspectives that you may not see while down on ground level.
And in such a beautiful place like Hawaii, where picturesque photos can be seen plastered everywhere from postcards to Instagram photos, seeing through various perspectives is very important. Lomo on!

A man who allegedly struck a woman with a vehicle and "smacked" her while yelling at her remains behind bars following his arrest.
Michael Mitchell, 21, of 1004 Terri Lane is charged with first-degree assault, first- and second-offense alcohol intoxication in a public place and first-degree fleeing or evading police, according to citations issued by Sgt. Patrick Beasely and deputy Tony Likins of the Anderson County Sheriff's Office.
A man who police say tried to convince a teenager to sell narcotics after smoking marijuana with a group of juveniles remained behind bars Monday afternoon.
Tyler Hawkins, 18, of 1111 Lakes of Dogwood Blvd., Shepherdsville faces a litany of charges when he and six juveniles were caught allegedly smoking marijuana early Friday morning in American Legion Park off Broadway, according to police reports.
If you're planning a doggie date for your pup, better think again.
A strain of canine flu popped up recently in the Frankfort area that likely exposed several dogs here to the illness that causes them to cough, run a fever and have a runny nose.
"There was a case diagnosed in Franklin County and a few dogs from here in Anderson County had exposure in that facility," said Dr. Aaron Goodpaster, owner of The Animal Clinic in Lawrenceburg.
Marlie Garmon was the only dancer from Anderson County chosen for the Kentucky Governor's School of Performing Arts program, which will be held over the next three weeks at Centre College in Danville. The program received 1,400 applicants, auditioned 650 students, and choose 256 performers. It will run through July 8, and is designed to offer performing arts training for Kentucky's high school age students.
"I have been dancing for as long as I can remember," said Garmon.
A woman described as homeless in an arrest report can check one item off of her bucket list: go to jail.
Jennifer Miller, 45, was charged Sunday with second-degree disorderly conduct and third-degree criminal trespassing when she refused to leave a parking lot at 699 West Broadway.
"I asked her to kindly leave the parking lot several times," Det. Jeremy Cornish wrote in his report. "[She] stated that she refused to leave the parking lot and to take her to [f-ing] jail.
Anderson County Middle School has banned a controversial book on teenage suicide from being used for classroom instruction after it was developed into an even more controversial Netflix series.
The book, "13 Reasons Why," was used during the 2016 spring semester at the school, after it was approved by principal Jenna Rose for use in an enrichment class, according to information provided in an email by Superintendent Sheila Mitchell.
A woman was allegedly nearly four times the legal limit was charged with her fourth DUI when police found her standing in front of her vehicle on Tyrone Road, according to police reports.
The woman, Christy Stevens, 35, of 520 Linden Drive, Versailles allegedly told a Lawrenceburg police officer that she was driving the vehicle, only to change her story and try to claim her mother was driving.
It was only her first wrestling match but there was just something different about Courtney Pittman.
And it had little to do with the fact the she was taking the mat against boys.
Yes, she.
And even though she lost, she was good.
Courtney was in the sixth grade at Anderson County Middle School when a teacher, Shannon Knight, suggested she do something almost unheard of in these parts and give the Mustang wrestling team a try.
Lawrenceburg will have a lot less boom and a lot more quiet if a proposed ordinance to limit the dates fireworks can be used is passed.
The ordinance, proposed by the city council's public safety committee following years of complaints about fireworks being used throughout the summer, would limit their use from June 17 through July 11. It would also set a time limit for their use from 10 a.m. through 10 p.m. Using them would be allowed through midnight on July 4.
A Work Ready Community sign unveiling took place last Wednesday at the Anderson County Board of Education.
Earlier this year, Anderson County was named one of only a few Kentucky Work Ready Communities, when it became one of only 34 other counties throughout the state to hold this certificate. Superintendent Sheila Mitchell said that the Work Ready plan will prepare students better than before as Anderson County provides opportunities for additional soft-skill course work and certificates.

Samuel L. Jackson to star in thriller
By Gregg Goldstein
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Samuel L. Jackson is attached to star in "Unfinished Country," a "Training Day"-style thriller that will shoot on location in South Africa.
Jackson plays the chief administrator of an overcrowded hospital located in Johannesburg's violent Soweto township. His treatment methods are put into question when an American student arrives to do his residency and the hospital gets caught in the crossfire of local gang warfare.
The fact-based indie, written by Mark Wheaton ("The Messengers"), takes place in the largest hospital in the world, Soweto's Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital. No director is on board yet.
Jackson's recent credits include "1408" and "Resurrecting the Champ."

" Brand: Bosch "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Bosch bring to you the King of their pressure washer range, the Aquatak 160 Pro X! (If the title doesn't excite you then the specification certainly will)
The ''Rolls Royce'' of the Aquatak range. It's stylish body holds the 2800w heart, producing a maximum pressure of 155bar creating a 570ltr per hour water flow like no other Aquatak system. No job is too big (nor small) for the 160 Pro X.
Now the many features include, a hose reel, (no longer do you have to wind the high pressure hose up by hand and it spring back to life in your face), simply wind it back up onto the reel and voila! This is ideal for nice, tidy storage. The detergent tank is removable as well, a little tricky but none the less it can be removed.
I am not sure as to why people may want to remove it (pouring detergent into it is fairly easy) but it has that option to be removed. Bosch obviously found a reason why though.
Now, it is quite heavy weighing in at 29kg but thanks to the clever clogs at Bosch it comes complete with integrated wheels and is balanced perfectly meaning you don't have to worry about knocking it over everytime you catch the hose on it.
The machine itself comes complete with hose, high pressure and variable pressure lances.
The one thing I will say about this machine, it does appear difficult to obtain accessories or additional lances/rotary brushes, but they can be found.
Power: 2800 Watt Electric Motor / Working Pump Pressure: 155 bar

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: To achieve satisfactory pest control at minimum cost, pesticides must be distributed over the target at the proper rate. Due to wear, nozzle flow rates increase with usage time and the amount of increase depends on several factors. It is desirable to be able to predict wear rates of nozzles for different conditions without conducting long expensive tests. A mathematical model has been developed to predict nozzle wear rates from experimental wear rate values obtained from tests conducted over short periods. The model agreed very well with experimental values obtained over long periods with orifices of various sizes and materials, and different spray mixtures. The model could aid both manufacturers and users of nozzles in selection of the optimum orifices for various needs.
Technical Abstract: A mathematical model was developed to predict orifice wear rate for fan-pattern, spray nozzles. Variables affecting nozzle wear rate in the model are usage time, spray pressure, initial orifice size, effective coefficient of friction between orifice wall and fluid, orifice material and the fluid. Spray-pattern measurements for new and worn orifices verified that wear mainly increased minor-axis length of the elliptical orifice with very little wear at the ends of the major axis. There was good agreement between predicted and measured flow rate increases for worn orifices with various materials and nominal capacities for up to about 38% increase in flow rate relative to new orifices. Both the model and experiments indicated nozzle wear rate increased with usage time, spray pressure, effective coefficient of friction between nozzle orifice wall and fluid, and ratio of major to minor axis of the elliptical orifice.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Document the vessel and put her in a home port with no tax LA for example they look at documentation as good on boats Florida wants you to drop the DOC and regester or pay a use tax every year. Once you regester your boat your documentation is no longer valid this is a stickey thing to deal with on a legal level. Federal law over local and state.
|Thank you. Those are all good ideas. We shall take them to heart
Tax on boats brought to Florida from RI?
One other thing. If you find that Florida exempts boats that were kept outside of Florida for six months, then document that fact. Keep dated marina receipts, credit card statements and any other written proof of the boat''s location during the preceding six months. Ask your marina manager to provide a notarized statement of the date when your boat arrived and left his marina. Even if your boat is exempt, you''ll probably have to pay the tax if you can''t prove that you''re entitled to the exemption.
Tax on boats brought to Florida from RI?
I am to assume the boat is NOT documented??
document if possible.. then keep the boat up north for awhile.
you know IF you do not truck the boat, but come down the icw that can take awhile.. bring it to the chessie, leave here for two months.. two mos in RI, two months here. then slowly come south but then the 6 mos period will be up.
we brought a documented boat in direct from LA. where there is no sales tax also.

Tax on boats brought to Florida from RI?
If you never paid any sales tax you have to pay FL the whole use tax. They call it use tax when you did not buy it in the state but it''s the same thing as sales tax<g>.
The break they give you is if you paid sales tax some place (and can prove it) you don''t pay it again so long as you paid as much as FL would have charged you. Most states will do this too.
Basically moving to FL means you can''t dodge the sales tax no way no how. No state will let you do it either unless of course they have no sales tax.
FWIW, FL is very strict about it. They want the money. If you buy a boat in FL you have a limited amount of time to prove you left the state and don''t owe them. An odd way to look at it but they like it.
Tax on boats brought to Florida from RI?
Faith, see my suggestion under Buying a Boat.
Tax on boats brought to Florida from RI?
Faith, you need to talk to someone in an upper level of the office that collects sales tax for Florida, and get a clear answer, in writing. If a Florida broker gives you an answer on this forum, he could be giving you a right or wrong answer. If he''s wrong, and the tax collector insists that you owe the tax, it''s too late for you to do anything but pay it, because you will have already bought the boat. You''ll have no recourse against the person who gave you the advice, because it was free advice.
Actually, if the upper level state employee gives you bad information, you could still be required to pay the tax, but if you get the information from an upper level state employee, there''ll be a greater likelihood that it will be good information, and if you get it in writing, then, any lower level employee will probably go along with it, because people usually defer to their superiors. Suppose you buy the boat and attempt to register it in Florida, and the local registrar says you have to pay the tax. If you show him your letter from an upper level employee in the department, saying you don''t have to pay the tax if you owned it for more than 6 months, then the lower level employee probably won''t dispute his superior''s opinion.
If I were you, I''d call the appropriate office in Tallahassee, and find out who is the in-house expert on boat sales taxes. There''ll be one person who knows all the ins and outs of that type of tax. Explain the situation to that person, and ask for a letter, outlining the conditions when you are exempt from the tax.
Good luck!
Tax on boats brought to Florida from RI?
We are planning on buying a 1996 Freedom sailboat in R.I. One of the appeals is that there is no sales tax on boats bought in Rhode Island. We will be keeping the boat in R.I. for 10-11 months.
Although I had called our county tax collector a month ago and been told that boats, like cars, were exempt from the 6% tax if they had been owned for longer than 6 months, I have been urged to double check. Below is what the FL website says about cars:
Motor Vehicle Registration
Florida''s 6 percent use tax applies to and is due on motor vehicles brought into this state within 6 months from the date of purchase. Use tax does not apply if a like tax equal to or greater than 6 percent has been lawfully imposed and paid to another state or District of Columbia.
It is presumed that a motor vehicle used in another state, territory of the United States, or District of Columbia for 6 months or longer before being brought into Florida was not purchased for use in Florida. To qualify for exemption from use tax, you must provide documents to prove that the vehicle was used outside Florida for 6 months or longer
However, I just went to Florida''s website for boaters and found this:
Initial Registration And Titling
Applications for vessel registration and title certificates are to be filed by the vessel owner with the county tax collector''s office . . . . If the sales tax on the total purchase price of the vessel has not been previously paid, the vessel owner must pay the tax along with the fees listed above. If the sales tax has already been paid, then the vessel owner should furnish the county tax collector with a valid receipt indicating where the sales tax was paid and that it was paid in an amount equal to or greater than the applicable sales tax.
Now, I don''t know whether the phrase "if the sales tax has already been paid" means in FL or means anywhere else. But this is a bit daunting.
Does anyone have any experience in this area. Anyone out there a FL broker who can help me? Our broker is based in MA and is not sure who FL works.
Thanks so much, Faith.

European Data Regulators Want Google to Change Privacy Policy by Summer
Tiffany Kaiser

Google said it is taking the necessary steps to do so
Google is under the microscope once again by European data regulators, who say the search giant needs to
correct its privacy policy
by this summer.
Last year, Google consolidated 60 privacy policies into one -- allowing the company to combine user data across several services like Gmail, YouTube and Google+. This strategy is especially useful when selling advertisements.
According to data protection regulators in Europe, this puts users at "high risk" as far as privacy goes. Also, users cannot opt out. Hence, Europe's 27 data regulators gave Google four months to change this policy back in October -- but according to these groups, Google has not yet addressed these concerns.
French privacy group CNIL was particularly upset with Google's actions, saying it would take further action if Google does not work on its privacy policy by summer.
"Google did not provide any precise and effective answers," CNIL said. "In this context, the EU data protection authorities are committed to act and continue their investigations. Therefore, they propose to set up a working group, led by the CNIL, in order to coordinate their reaction, which should take place before summer."
However, Google said it did respond on January 8 with a list of the steps it planned to take.
Late last month, Google
updated its privacy policy
in the U.S. It wanted
to make the privacy policies easier to understand for the end-user
to make it easier for Google to share a user's information between different apps when the users sign into their Google account.
Earlier last month,
Google managed to escape a nearly two-year U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation
without paying any fines
, but the EU
said it didn't plan on going easy on Google the way he FTC did.
Joaquin Almunia, Europe's antitrust chief, recently said that Google is providing search results that
promote its own services
instead of fairly showing those of competitors.
"If you mod me down, I will become more insightful than you can possibly imagine." -- Slashdot

Hey M5, great sales tactic using fear and all to sell you spare kit! Just kidding. These cars needed a spare anyway. The roads in Detroit are about the worst anywhere and so far I have had no tire issues.
Hey M5, great sales tactic using fear and all to sell you spare kit! Just kidding. These cars needed a spare anyway. The roads in Detroit are about the worst anywhere and so far I have had no tire issues.
M5driverNY, a few questions...
How much for the full kit?
Can I buy the milled part separately? If so, how much for that part?
*I asked this previously but did not receive an answer from M5driverNY.
Is that spare tire the one for the regular cts? looks exactly like what was equipped with my 2009 cts, the milled part you mentioned, does it happen to be the rim?
At one time, three of my tires on my Chevy had 1 plug in there and the other tire had two!
I'm guessing, but I blame it on pick-up trucks on contractors who just throw any old thing in the bed of their trucks and never cover anything and never clean out their beds and these big, brand new (still shiny) nails and screws are in my tires.
So when I get a flat, my method is to position car so nail/screw/rod is near the bottom side, jack the car to slightly above correct ride height, and then I use them cheap plugs. And I have a tire pump in the car too. So I never have to take the tire off and it's fixed in 15 minutes. (Yes, I know the controversy about these plugs.)
But my above method is all fine and dandy, until I get a sidewall hole; and that's where your World's First and Finest "The Original!" CTS-V Spare Tire Kit comes in.
Any news on this? Still not seeing anything on eBay....
I am also waiting for the listing
Haven't seen the listing on ebay yet, gotta have that kit.
Maybe one of the vendors should step up and take some business.
Any update on this?
is that a gto spare tire?
I just bought a new front rim and tire to use as a temporary spare,if this thread was written a month ago,I would have held off in spending so much money. The tire is too big to fit in the trunk space and I really want that spare tire kit to make room in the trunk for other things.
Any update on this?
While I would love an update on this aftermarket product, I would like better for GM to come up with an official solution for us.
C'mon GM/Cadillac! Pretty please? We know you listen to us. :D
I am willing to PAY for a spare tire that fits.....
+1, as evidenced by the fact that I'm willing to PAY for a kludged aftermarket solution now, and would quite likely STILL be willing to PAY for an official factory kit if/when it becomes available. Getting stranded somewhere with a flat that is not inflator-repair fixable is no bueno.

In London, meanwhile, design entrepreneur Lee Thornley, 34, has custom-built an urban barge with lots of insulation, underfloor heating, solar windows and log-burning stoves. And if gets his way, there will soon be many more on London's underused waterways, with people like him living on them.

1/18 Life on an urban barge
Bert's Barges have insulation, underfloor heating, solar windows and log-burning stoves. With lateral living space spanning almost 56ft, this homes sleeps up to four people with one double bed in the front as well as another that folds away.

2/18 A few modern touches
There are stylish features such as marble-clad kitchens, solid wood floors, big terraces and power showers.
3/18 Building something beautiful
Despite a sparse and modern interior, the barge offers Lee Thornley a serene place to stay in London during the week - without a poky caravan feel.
4/18 Reworking as you go
Lee Thornley admits that he made mistakes when building his barge, but loves the lifestyle. He hopes that soon there will be many more people like him living on London's underused waterways with a Bert's Barge taking 16 weeks to build.
5/18 Home comforts
Thornley has avoided overcluttering his barge to maximise the space, using sleek and modern fixtures and fittings. A wood-burning stove in the main living room comes into its own on wintry nights.
6/18 Maximising space
There were a few teething problems of course, one of which being the fact that barges need blinds, but this terrific home offers unique views of London - plus the fun of splashing about on the river.

Thornley's new London floating home, which his firm designed and built, sits on the increasingly smart Hoxton stretch of Regent's Canal alongside traditional narrow boats. A street of former light industrial units backs on to the canal and there is now a continental café, an Italian deli and flats.
Thornley doesn't hang about when he has an idea. Born in Blackburn in 1980, the first of his family to go to university, he studied law in London and became a barrister.
"As a guy in Blackburn, you're expected to do something like that, but I quickly realised it wasn't for me," he says. "I was too entrepreneurial." So he went to Spain to learn the language and consider his next step. The day he arrived in Vejer de la Frontera, Andalucia, a young woman opened the door for him.
"I asked her to help me park my car," he says. In no time Amelia, who hails from Scotland and ran a London catering company, became his wife.
Twelve weeks after meeting they bought and did up a flat in the village. Then they bought an old farmhouse and turned it into the luxury country retreat Casa La Siesta, which was named in Tatler's Top 100 best hotels in 2011.
However, once Lyla, five, and Iris, two, came along, in 2013 they came home and settled near Thornley's family in North Yorkshire.
During the building of the Spanish hotel, a local tile maker suggested to Thornley that he use him — which he did. As a result of their meeting, Thornley set up Bert & May, an online company run from his garage in the UK, selling handmade and reclaimed tiles, using the same artisan. Bert & May quickly expanded into a showroom warehouse in Hoxton.
Thornley needed a place to stay in London for four days a week, but couldn't afford local prices. Since his showroom backed on to the canal, he hatched the idea of building his own barge. "I looked out at the water and thought, 'why not build something beautiful to go on it?'"
Working with a creative consultant and an architect, Thornley went to Liverpool and met five companies, finally settling on one that built him a small, steel-framed barge, almost 56ft long, that he took to Yorkshire to fit out.
The roof was made flat so it could have a terrace paved with reclaimed tiles on top — traditionally, barge roofs are curved. The team also had to refine aspects of the interior design as they went along, for floating homes have their own rules.
Some lessons were painful. "I didn't think about weight distribution," admits Thornley. "We put in a marble kitchen on one side, and the barge listed. We had to take up the floor to adjust the weighting."
Then, having created a rooftop terrace, he realised that children might fall off it, so he put up railings. "But barges have to go under low bridges — so we redid them so that they fold down," he adds.
Despite its sparse and modern interior, the barge offers a stylish, roomy shower room. As well as a double bed in the front, there is also a folding double bed. And it definitely doesn't have that poky caravan feel.
The final thing Thornley didn't realise is that barges need blinds. "I came back along the towpath one evening and it was lit up like a casino," he says.
But, having addressed the teething problems, this is a terrific little pad, with gorgeous views and moorhens nesting right next door. Who gets a view like that in London — plus all the fun of splashing about on the river?
Buying a Bert's Barge
- It's not quite a life on the open waves, but with a £150,000 price tag and a lead time of 16 weeks to make a barge, it's an attractive idea if you are fed-up with looking for a flat, and fancy an adventure. The interior design can be tweaked at a cost.
- Currently there are few mortgages on the UK market for motorised barges, however Arkle Finance (a subsidiary of Wetherby's Bank) does offer them: www.arklefinance.co.uk. Repayment terms are short — often just seven years — so repayments reflect that, and you may need around a 30 per cent deposit. Meanwhile you can also finance with cash or money raised in another way; and a marine finance insider tells Homes & Property that "there is a strong possibility that there may be another mortgage available for motorised barges in the new year, but its terms are not yet known."
- You will also have to pay for a mooring. Thornley can help buyers find one — but warns that they can cost £1,000 a week. However, there's a growing band of barge owners who rove the waterways, tying up where they like, but moving on after a fortnight. They are called the continuous cruising community. If you do that you don't have to pay for mooring. Thornley also points out that outside London you can get a mooring for much less. If you do have a mooring you will also have to pay council tax.

text: hey guys. i've got an 08 "stage 2". my car is now in the trans shop for the second time since i've owned the car (about 15 months...22k miles...yes, i drive a lot)...anyway. this time, it was an issue of a loss of fluid that i didn't notice. I had a ball joint fall out of my a-arm while driving, and the axle came out. had a shop repair that and am going to inquire about the lack of fluid, BUT, while i'm getting a new trans put in, wanted to see if there were any good upgrades to do while it's apart.
