Penguins notebook: Injured defenseman Martin finally skates
Paul Martin plans to keep his promise.
After vowing to Team USA management earlier this week that he would be healthy for the Winter Olympics next month, Martin started skating Saturday with injured Penguins players.
He had not skated since Nov. 25 when his tibia was broken in the third period of an overtime loss at Boston.
"He's seen the doctor and passed the necessary bone scan," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said Saturday.
The Penguins have played with no more than two top-four defensemen since Martin was injured. There is no time frame for Martin's return.
Help on the way?
A win over Winnipeg on Sunday would pull Bylsma even with Eddie Johnston for the most regular-season victories (232) in franchise history.
Kris Letang may lend a helping hand.
Letang, the team's top defenseman, has missed 10 consecutive games because of an infected left elbow. He told Bylsma he was ready to return after participating in a full practice Saturday, and he was paired with Rob Scuderi. Scuderi was signed as a free agent in the offseason to play with Letang.
Center Evgeni Malkin (left leg) has missed the past nine games, but Bylsma did not rule him out to play against Winnipeg.
"We will see and evaluate where they're at before the game," Bylsma said.
Other injuries
Winger Chris Conner had surgery on a broken hand, and his recovery time remains six to eight weeks, Bylsma said.
Winger Chuck Kobasew is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. The injury prevented him from playing in a home win over the New York Rangers on Friday night, Bylsma said.
Winger Jayson Megna (lower-body) took the ice for the first time since he was injured Dec. 16 in a home win over Toronto. Goalie Tomas Vokoun (blood clot) remains on blood thinners. He has yet to play this season.
Blast from past
Penguins all-time scorer and majority co-owner Mario Lemieux received a standing ovation from fans that filled half of the lower bowl Saturday at Consol Energy Center.
He joined a group of friends and former teammates — including Penguins Stanley Cup stars Mark Recchi, Rick Tocchet and Bill Guerin — to play in two charity games. The public games were part of a fantasy hockey camp staged by Lemieux's foundation, which benefits cancer research.
About 5,000 tickets were sold.
Lemieux did not make himself available for comment. He scored one goal.

Yet flair and focus, as much as fitness, propelled the All-Stars past West Ham, 3-2, at a sold-out BMO Field Thursday. They pushed the pace early in the match and twice came back quickly from conceding a goal to score one of their own.
"I thought we responded well to the goals we gave up," said defender Jimmy Conrad. "We could have scored a couple more but we got enough."
MVP Cuauhtemoc Blanco tormented the Hammers with a back heel to set up a goal for Christian Gomez and scored one himself with a clever cut-back that dumped Scott Parker on his rear as Blanco drilled a shot into the top corner. Dwayne DeRosario lured West Ham captain Lucas Neill into a mistimed tackle by sifting through the back line on the dribble, then scored the gamewinning goal from the penalty spot.
Landon Donovan and Gomez sliced open West Ham with their touches and dribbles, Shalrie Joseph bossed the midfield, Jonathan Bornstein and Frankie Hejduk worked the flanks from their outside back slots, and David Beckham served up a nice selection of crosses and dead balls that didn't lead directly to a goal but thrilled the crowd and tested the Hammers most of the time.
"When you have good soccer players there's a lot you can do," said Donovan. "If we had a couple of months to train together I can't imagine how good we would be. Guys understand how to play."
Dean Ashton scored both goals for the Hammers, and both times they quickly conceded a goal right back. West Ham manager Alan Curbishley used 16 players, All-Star head coach Steve Nicol emptied his bench and gave all 18 players an appearance. Joseph, Conrad, Beckham and Pablo Mastroeni played the full match.
"We kept the ball well and defensively we were solid in the back," said Joseph, a dominating presence who won balls in midfield and pushed intelligent passes out wide or forward to start attacks. "Overall, I think we gave the fans what they wanted, excitement: Blanco with a back heel, Christian Gomez with a good finish, Beckham hitting good balls to people, Juan Pablo [Angel] is one of the best finishers around. It was a good performance by the whole team."
Ashton opened the scoring in the 26th minute by running onto a long ball from Carlton Cole and smashing a shot past keeper Matt Reis. Barely a minute later, Gomez swapped passes with Blanco, whose backheel completely befuddled the West Ham back line, and fired in the equalizer.
More combination play set up subsequent chances, with Juan Toja creating the second goal by dribbling inside and laying a ball to isolate Blanco against Parker with two minutes left in the first half.
"As long as he doesn't do that against the Galaxy, it's good," Beckham said of Blanco. "Everybody knows his quality. We as players know his quality and try to play to his strengths and tonight we were able to connect, not just me and him, all the players all over the field."
Blanco won MVP honors for his goal and an assist.
"The important thing was that we won," Blanco said. "With David, we were able to connect when usually we play against each other, but we put in a good performance and we won."
DeRosario put away the winning goal less than two minutes after Ashton tied the match, 2-2, and shortly thereafter slipped a pass that Angel blasted into the roof of the net with the assistant referee's flag up for offside.
"I thought they got tired late in both halves," said Conrad, who tried to head away Ashton's shot but instead diverted it past Reis for the second goal. "We gave away a route one goal on the first one when we were caught in-between stepping up or not stepping up. The second goal came off me when we didn't close guys down, I was just trying to get my face out of the way and hit right me in the ear and the shoulder and went in."
Reis had to make four saves, none of them difficult, but despite its lack of game sharpness, West Ham set up Carlton Cole and substitute Luis Boa Morte for shots that Reis did well to repel.

Docs-In-Progress: THE ROAD TO LIVINGSTON
Presented by Austin Film Society at AFS Screening Room
January 29, 2013
Delia Perez-Meyer, an elementary school teacher, has taken a weeklyjourney from the classroom to death row for the past 12 years. She tells ofher personal voyage, beginning from a place of frustration to acceptanceand hopeful activism.
Over the years, Delia has formed lasting relationships with people she's met along the way to Livingston, Texas. Whether it be at gas stations,or the Mexican restaurant she stops at for lunch, these familiar faces have evolved into something more. Being the only family member to regularly visit her brother Louis, she's been forced to create a new family, all somehow tied to death row.
We encounter worlds we never knew existed, including a group of European women who, through letters and occasional visits, fall in love with inmates. We witness a wedding of a Dutch woman to inmate Kenneth Foster, performed at a local radio station. At first, this ceremony seems surreal and farcical, but as the vows are read, there's no doubt as to the sincere emotion conveyed over the airwaves to the unseen groom. Through Delia's interactions we learn more about why these women voluntarily enter this world, and how powerful a non-physical relationship can be.
These women serve as messengers of the harsh conditions inmates experience daily, like the absence of fruit and vegetables. Delia buys severely marked-up fruit in the visiting room vending machines so Louis can have something other than his usual gruel-like fare. Art supplies are banned on death row, but despite not having conventional tools at their disposal, Louis and inmate friend Tony, manage to make art and share it with the world. Delia and Tony's mother, Golda, organize art shows to honor their work and raise awareness.
We witness Delia's struggle to exonerate her brother of a crime she claims he did not commit. Louis blames the murder of two women and a little girl on the Texas "Railroad Killer" of the mid-nineties. Foreign DNA from the crime scene, if tested, could prove Louis' innocence. Delia fights to overcome obstacles put forth by what she believes to be an inherently flawed legal system. She's not the only person we meet on this journey who tells a similar story of a wrongful sentence, disregard of evidence,and failure of the system to give a fair trial. The bond Delia creates with people who share her plight gives her the strength to continue on.
This film offers a glimpse into the world of those touched by death row. This film shows the life-long ramifications dealt to families, friends, lovers and the communities surrounding the prison who rely on death row fortheir own means of living. Seen by society as already as good as dead, these communities are trying to beat the clock to save their loved ones from death. With most prisoners on death row for less than 10 years before they're executed, Delia, with as many years of trips behind her, races to save her brother on the road to Livingston.

So basically remove the heads clean them all and do a valve job?
Yes. Let me guess......you have blue smoke after a lengthy idle? This adds to the coking of the heads.
I also so another post a member stated there is some programming that some shops can do to bypass this check permenatly is that true? Can I send my ECM for programming?
Yes again. But you DO NOT need to send in your ECM. It's done in the vehicle. Apparently it's a DOS program from Germany and takes 2-3 hours to upload to the vehicle at a cost of about 500 dollars. Obviously, legalities of tampering with the Emissions Equip are at play here, so this stuff can be a little, "back door, hush-hush". I'll leave it at that.
Also any cleaner I might be able to run to clean the Carbon like SEAFOAM or anything that may help?
Nope! This coking is so hard that a honing tool is required and the passages are very hard to get to. The Seafoam and other snake oil stuff has been done to absolutely no success. Remember that the coking is in the exhaust side of the heads and is not exposed to fuel or intake.
So does your state allow one "readiness indicator not set" and still pass? This could be your way out. It was mine. I bought a Harbor Freight scan tool, reset the SES and waitied until the final readiness indicator (which happens to be the secondary air) was resetting and then inspection. You have about a 3-5 day window untill the SES sets.

Syracuse meet
Let's get a Syracuse car meet started. Just something casual like once a month to hang out and talk cars.
im game im from utica area
I'm not even sure if there is a very big CNY BMW community. Post something if you think it's a good idea for a meet.
Coming from california to syracuse was quite the shock hahah... Im down for whatever....
i dont recall seeing any bmws when I took daughter to school last week...other than the ones that where other parents
hahah... this is very true, there are a few around...
Im sure if rochester has a few so does syracuse
just come to albany instead. bigger scene there.. a whole 6 of us.
My E90 is almost here! Its at the port in New Jersey, should be ready for a meet starting next week.
I'm down for a meet in Syracuse.
im in cortland but my car is home, i will come in a friking suzuki!
Hi all, I just moved to Syracuse from Orlando 3 months ago. There was a big scene in Orlando. Any meets going on? I see subie and vw people around here but few bimmers. We should get some meets going.
syracuse sucks
Maybe we can get something going when it gets warmer...maybe link up with the downstate and jersey peeps.
Just put my m3 in hibernation this afternoon. Only real car culture that goes on around here is through SCCA/BMWCCA events.
I'm down for a meet as well. Always looking for more peeps with BMWs. Don't see a ton around the area. I was told that peeps meet up at a Tim Hortons near Thompson I think. Not sure though since I've yet to go out there and see.
I might check some other forums out to see what's up.
I might have to check those out. My neighbor mentioned the bmw club. He's an older man, but dude has a garage full of bimmers.
I live about 10 mins from the jersey shore but I'm cool driving if someone wants to get something together.
Hi all and happy new years. I'm still new to the Syracuse area and the whole vehicle inspection thing (none in FL lol). I was wondering- where you guys go to get your car inspected? New post cat 02 sensors will be in the next couple of weeks (engine light on- got code from autozone and a shop in orlando).
I was also wondering if they sniff test the cars because I want to run ss reps in the future. Any good tuner friendly places?

Parent Reviews
Parents, have you used this organization's services? Sign in to post a review.
July 2013
I am leaving a review for a fantastic Mandarin immersion Montessori school in Berkeley named Global Montessori International School (GMIS). This review is completely unsolicited, and I have the freedom of being honest and objective because my child is moving on to another school. My child started at GMIS at the age of 2. I chose GMIS over the other Mandarin immersion programs in the area because of the following reasons: 1) the teachers were experienced, youthful, energetic, loving and kind; 2) the founder of the school, Vivi Teng, is a warm-hearted, honest person with extensive Montessori experience and devotes herself full-time to managing every aspect of the school; 3) a great parent community of highly educated but down-to-earth parents who are very involved and very tuned into the development of young children and their needs; 4) an ethnically diverse student population with over half of the children coming from multiple ethnic backgrounds. I visited and toured all the other schools in the area (PRINTS, AIM, Shu-ren) and came to the conclusion that the biggest hearts were at GMIS and that my toddler would be cared after the way I would expect a large family of kind aunties would provide. After having been at the school for 2 and a half years, my child has been able to recognize many Chinese characters (I would guess at least 50), knows bo-po-mo-fo symbols and is able to use them to read early reader books from Taiwan, is able to converse in Mandarin with proper tone, and is also progressing well in English reading and acquisition of math concepts. Potty training was done by the teachers within 1 year of enrollment and made my life so much easier. Extracurricular activities have included Soccer Shots, Kung-fu, Chinese and Western singing and music, beginning Spanish, and afterschool Chinese class. Other class options include art and dance. He has been exposed to gardening, animal care, trips to the Berkeley Nutcracker and Chabot Science Center. There is a wonderful outdoor garden area with a vermicompost earthworm bin to teach children about the soil lifecycle. The outdoor playspace is clean and has a variety of outdoor toys. In the summer, water play is also available. I have made many friends among the parent group and contributed to the development of the Parent Organization which provides parents with an organized website for information and helps to orchestrate the myriad of volunteer, holiday and cultural events that occur each year. The school's preschool through kindergarten is growing by leaps and bounds. The elementary school is still in development and currently enrolls through second grade. My son will miss GMIS very much and after 2.5 years, I am still certain that I made the right decision for him. I have not seen as many happy kids elsewhere as I have at GMIS, and as many kind teachers. Whether your interest is Montessori, Mandarin, a diverse and global environment for your child, GMIS will fulfill all of the above and more than prepare your child for Yu Ming or any of the other Mandarin immersion programs in SF. Many of the kids who go to Yu Ming from GMIS are quite over-prepared and already know most of the Mandarin and early math covered in public school kindergarten. All in all, a wonderful preschool and kindergarten and you can't go wrong. I expect that with continued development the elementary school will be wonderful, too. Vivian
March 2012
An update on the new location for GMIS: The school will be relocating to a new address in Berkeley across the street from Ecole Bilingue and near one of the Berkeley Bowl groceries. The move will take place over the summer and be ready to start in September! I encourage all interested parents to look at GMIS and consider enrolling. Vivian
Dec 2011
I am thinking about sending my daughter to GMIS (Global Montessori International School) next year but heard that the school may be forced to move/leave the location where they are at today. Does anyone have any information on this? Would love to hear from current GMIS parents. Thanks! Julie
The relocation of GMIS is a possibility. We may be able to stay in our current location, however, in the event that we have to move, we are searching for possible locations. We understand that uncertainty may cause some concern, but GMIS intends to continue operations even if we have to move to another location. Thank you. GMIS

Re: Mandarin afterschool programs in the East Bay
I would recommend the after-school Mandarin program at Global Montessori International School (http://www.gmis-berkeley.com/prog_afterschool.php). Classes meet from 3:30pm to 4:45pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week. I'm continually impressed by the Chinese-language artwork and written worksheets that my 3-year-old brings home from these classes. - GMIS parent

Re: Mandarin Immersion Elementary Schools?
My son attends the Elementary program at Global Montessori International School in Berkeley. He enjoyed the warm environment, opened up his shy personality, and made good friends. We like the supportive parent community and receptive school teachers and administrators. I find my son becoming more confident, responsible, thoughtful and inquisitive, since joining the elementary group. The English part of the Montessori program led by the head teacher Ms Nugapitiya is great. In a little over 5 months he went from not able to read by himself to a beginner reader of chapter books, and teaching me stuff he learned from school, e.g. leaning tower of Pisa. I doubt the Chinese part was taught strictly using the traditional Montessori material, as I have seen a 5th grader used the recording feature on IPhone to practice tone pronunciations for a tongue twister. I really like the innovative media introduced by the Chinese teacher Ms Ma, which made it more relevant to the kids and more engaging. The children are naturally more proficient in English and often speak that among the peers so the teachers had introduced show and tell in Chinese, word games... I find it a good mix between Montessori philosophy of C,follow the childC. and willingness to engage kids using effective methods. To me the learning skills and the excitements toward the language and cultures achieved have been invaluable. happy mom
hi, We have our son at Global Montessori International School and it's awesome! Although it used to be Japanese, Chinese, and English, it is now officially a Mandarin and English immersion school. However, there are some children in the elementary program who were in the Japanese immersion track so to be sensitive to those families, GMIS retains the resources for their Japanese-language education. That is a big part of what makes GMIS so special. it really is a place that values the needs of the children and parents and truly listens.
Another reason GMIS is so special is the culture. It is a warm, loving, kind place for the kids that also focuses on their education and making sure they learn. The kids love going to school and you can see what they are learning. And, they all do speak Chinese during the day, to the other kids as well, even those who don't have Mandarin spoken to them at home (like my son).
Additionally, this school is going places and will make a name for itself. Vivi has a tremendous amount of energy and she always has her eye to how to make the program stronger and reaching out to the community to bring resources and relationships to the school. Not only did they improve the art and music education this year (MOCHA comes to the school) she is reaching out to other schools in the area to create relationships for those graduating.
And lastly, but not least, the parent community is strong. there is a lot of parental involvement, which is great for the kids as well as the school.
GMIS was a wonderful decision for us as a family and we couldn't be happier. I hope you find your way to GMIS as well. A Happy Parent '

Citation: Li, X., Spanikova, S., De Vries, R.P., Biely, P. 2007. Identification of Genes Encoding Microbial Glucuronoyl Esterases. The Federation of European Biochemical Societies. 581(21):4029-4035. Interpretive Summary: Efficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars has been recognized as the major bottleneck for the economical production of biofuels and feedstock chemicals from the almost infinite renewable resources. There are three major constitutes, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, commonly found in lignocellulosic biomass. Covalent linkages between hemicellulose and lignin have been discovered for a long time but microbial enzymes responsible for their cleavages have not yet been described. Recently, our collaborator, Professor Peter Biely, discovered that a fungal esterase specifically hydrolyzes the methyl ester bond of 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronidic acid, a side group commonly found in hemicellulose. The work provided evidence that such enzymes might be responsible for breaking the ester linkages between hemicellulose and lignin. The paper we are describing here reports the genes encoding this group of esterases. All the genes described in here were found through genomic approaches, but their function was unknown.
Technical Abstract: One type of covalent linkages connecting lignin and hemicellulose in plant cell walls is the ester linkage between 4-0-methyl-D-glucuronic acid of glucuronoxylan and lignin alcohols. An enzyme that could hydrolyze such linkages, named glucuronoyl esterase, occurs in the cellulolytic system of the wood-rotting fungus Schizophyllum commune. Here we report partial amino acid sequences of the enzyme and the results of subsequent search for homologous genes in sequenced genomes. The homologous genes of unknown functions were found in genomes of several filamentous fungi and one bacterium. The gene corresponding to the cip2 gene of Hypocrea jecorina (Trichoderma reesei), known to be up-regulated under conditions of induction of cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic enzymes, was over-expressed in H. jecorina. The product of the cip2 gene was purified to homogeneity and shown to exhibit glucuronoyl esterase activity.

Ram Truck has just dropped a low-buck bombshell on the 2011 Chicago Auto Show with the 1500 Tradesman. The pickup comes standard with the company's 5.7-liter V8 with 390 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque mounted to a five-speed automatic transmission, and Chrysler says that the drivetrain is good for 20 mpg on the highway. Specifically set up for small businesses, contractors and fleet service, the Tradesman is also loaded with a Class IV hitch and a handy transmission cooler. That kit helps crank up the truck's tow rating to a lofty 10,450 pounds.
The best part? Prices for this sucker start at a slim $22,780 with destination. Buyers will be able to pick between 4x2 and 4x4 trim, and a long-bed option is also available. Look for the Tradesman to land on dealer lots in the second quarter of this year. Hit the jump for the full press blast.

Just watched the first part of the movie - either "A history of violence" or "History of violence".
Violence is the right word - at least in the first several minutes of this movie.
Scenario that really stands out for me was when the bad guys went into the small town diner at closing time.
Had to think about "What If" for if I had been in a place like that either alone or with my wife and how I might react in similiar situation.
Anyone else see that movie?

Trade Link, the producer of Scoperta in Switzerland and Textiles d'Interieur Premiere (TIP) will launch three additional shows beginning in spring 2006.
The second show, to be held in Shanghai in the fall of 2006, will have a similar format.
The third new show will held outside London in Ascot in early summer 2006 and will showcase luxury fabrics and wall coverings from the United Kingdom, Europe and international producers. Potential exhibitors will be vetted in order to exhibit.
Said Andy Green, Trade Link's managing director, "We believe there is a huge potential in China and India for manufacturing quality-driven textiles and surface design products."
He added, "For many, China and India are unknowns in terms of both business and culture. We will therefore be providing information and seminars to support the exhibitors so they understand the markets they will be selling to. And vice versa, we will also provide support to the Indian and Chinese manufacturing companies so they understand the international textiles design culture."

|Official Title:
|A Phase I, Non-randomized, Open-label, Repeat Oral Administration Study of ASP3026 in Patients With Solid Tumors
- Safety and tolerability of ASP3026 assessed by recording of adverse events, laboratory assessments, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and clinical observations [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days after last subject discontinues treatment ]
- Pharmacokinetics of ASP3026 by assessment of area under the curve over the time (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) in plasma and urine [ Time Frame: Up to Day 29 ]
- Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: 30 Days after the last subject discontinues treatment ]Objective response rate is the proportion of subjects who experience complete response/remission (CR) or partial response/remission (PR)
|Study Start Date:
|May 2011
|Study Completion Date:
|January 2014
|Primary Completion Date:
|January 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: ASP3026
Drug: ASP3026
Detailed Description:
This study will be conducted using a traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation study design. Enrollment of at least 3 subjects is planned for each dosing cohort. The decision to expand a cohort or dose escalate will be based on the occurrence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in Cycle 1 that are considered by the Investigator to be related (possibly or probably) to ASP3026. The Safety Data Review Committee may elect to enroll additional subjects in a cohort to further evaluate the dose level. Each cycle will include 28 days of continuous dosing with ASP3026. Treatment with ASP3026 may continue until one of the discontinuation criteria is met.
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the highest dose of ASP3026 on a dosing schedule at which < 33% of subjects experience a DLT during Cycle 1. The MTD or lower dose, as determined by the Safety Data Review Committee, will be the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Twelve additional patients will be treated at the RP2D to further evaluate safety and tolerability.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|20 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Is your interest to live aboard simply to use the boat as a house or to actively cruise using the boat as your transportation and housing? If your only looking at being in a marina environment then South Florida would be a good choice.
If your looking more at actively cruising then the Caribbean would probably be a better choice to get a feel for the life in a relatively safe environment but not being a marina barnacle collector.
The style between always being at a slip vs being on the hook or mooring are Totally Different life styles and you will not learn much from one to use in the other.
If you can wait until spring, why not take your own boat south? You are not too far from the western entrance to the NY canal system. It's a beautiful trip east to the Hudson and would be an excellent shakedown cruise. I did the Catskill, NY- Key Largo-Bahamas trip back in 1999 and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. This was our first real live aboard experience.
If you want to begin this fall, you can still utilize your own boat. However, you may need to have it transported to Chesapeake Bay, or points further south, if you want to stay ahead of the cold weather. The ICW is a leisurely and sheltered way to get to FL.
If you wish to charter and you don't want to go way down into the Caribbean, FL and the Bahamas are good cruising grounds to consider.
Personally, I'd love the northern Bahamas and have kept my boat in Abaco for the past 5 years. It is a wonderful, safe, and picturesque cruising area. It's especially affordable during the Fall/Winter months, as this is considered their off-season. The only drawback is that it can get a bit cool during the winter months, with temps about the same as central FL. There are several charter companies located in Marsh Harbour and many marinas on many cays to choose from.
Many cruisers head further south to the Exumas for the winter months. Although I haven't had an opportunity to cruise there, I've read that Georgetown is one of the most popular cruising destinations for U.S. and Canadian sailors. If you like lots of folks around you, this would be a great place for you to visit.
I am not sure if there are any chartering companies in the Exumas that will meet your needs, but I just noticed that there in now a chartering outfit operating out of Nassau. This would be a great central location to begin exploring the Bahamas from.
As far as FL goes, the Keys are my favorite. However, expect to pay premium prices for dockage as this is their busy season. Also, there are not a lot of good, sheltered anchorages in the Keys and those that are (Marathon & Key West) tend to fill up fast.
Although I love visiting the Ft. Myers-Naples area, it's not really considered a cruising destination. Expect to pay top dollar for marina space.
Anyway, I hope I have contributed something useful to your deliberations. Enjoy your retirement!
|Treasure Harbor in the Keys, Islamorada I think, has older boats that are very reasonable and includes dock space at their facilities. I haven't used them but they may be what you are looking for since the rates are low so a month or two won't set you back that much.
Live Aboard
My wife and I will be retiring this fall and and have always thought about what it would be like to live aboard a sailboat somewhere warm. We are in Canada and currently have a 32 mirage, however given the weather our liveaboard experience has been limited to weekend trips or bareboat chartering when we go on vacation. We wanted to take a crack at a longer term bareboat to see if we could actually survive long periods on board without ending in divorce. It seems to me that chatering a boat maybe somewhere in Florida....and a slip in a marina for a month or so, might be the way to try this. We sort of like the the facilities at Burnt Store ( Ft. Myers) because we have stayed there before...but are completely open to other locations. In this respect I was wondering if there were any recommendations as to places..... charter companies....marinas.... that would actually allow us to do that for a reasonable price.

Okay, you've all heard me whine about not having an internet connection, not having a computer (my cat peed on it. Really) and in general being too busy to post – thankfully only the last one of those applies at the moment – but in lieu of a post that requires actual thought or writing, I thought I'd pass along this link to a lengthy and nuanced New Yorker article by Jianying Zha about her brother, a jailed activist. It's not the black and white bash-fest you might expect; Zha avoids howls of outrage and easy conclusions. Go have a look.
Or, I dunno, we could go back to arguing about what country is more racist, Tibetan/Taiwanese independence/splittism, and what's that whole White guy/Asian woman/White woman/Asian man thing about, anyway?
Your call.

The dad who sneaked formula feeds to his baby
Here's an interesting conundrum - what would you do if your husband decided to formula feed but you only wanted to breast feed?
The dad's involvement at birth
When my mother gave birth to me my dad was at his office, no doubt he was anxiously waiting by the phone (land line of course) until I was all cleaned up and my mother was looking 'decent" again, but he wasn't actually AT the hospital. That would have been odd in 1968. When I gave birth in 2001 my husband was at my side, judging by the pall of his face and the look on the nurse's face he was just as anxious and involved as I was (the nurse may have been smirking).
It's wonderful that dads are becoming so much more involved in the birthing process and the newborn period. There are baby showers for men (aka man showers), birth preparation classes for men, and even men who are trying to comfort their babies by putting them on their nipples.
And I think every one of these steps should be applauded. After all there are too many women complaining that their partners do not put in enough effort, that as women they carry the burden of the child rearing tasks and the dads have "all the fun".
The dad who faced a weighty decision
It was with this in mind that I read with interest a post on Baby Center from a Joey Lombardi which read in part:
"When my son was born, he was 8 pounds and experienced the typical weight drop before leaving the hospital. Allison (my wife) decided early into her pregnancy that she would be breastfeeding, which I was super supportive of. After the first doctor's checkup, there was a gentle statement that we have to watch his weight, he wasn't gaining enough.
Those gentle nudges became less gentle as the weeks went on.
Eventually we brought in a lactation consultant (which was not the first recommended course of action by the doctors, who were very much pushing my wife to switch to formula). Allison was not a big fan of formula, which we will get to in a bit. The lactation consultant was great — she figured out several problems within 10 minutes (literally 10 minutes).
The consultant also recommended supplementing formula while breastfeeding via a little container and a feeding tube that my wife taped to her nipple. It worked. And she was okay with it because the bonding elements were still in place. My son was making weight and all was well in the world.
Then my wife went back to work.
My son's daycare is close to both of our offices. My wife worked out a deal with her manager that she could go over to feed Ben (instead of being given a room and time to pump). Soon enough, the doctors were on us about weight again."
He carried on to explain that the doctors thought his son needed formula but his wife was opposed to that because she didn't want the baby to develop a preference for formula. He asked the daycare staff to give his son a bottle of formula every day and when they refused, saying he had to do it himself, he arranged to slip into the centre every day and feed the formula to his son himself without ever telling his wife. He even got his cousin to do the job for him on days when he couldn't make it.
As soon as his son's weight was stable and they were out of the danger zone he told his wife and apparently they had a big laugh. You can read his full post here.
Is deception ever warranted?
At first I wasn't sure whether to be appalled that he was acting behind his wife's back or elated by the fact that it ended well – I am a sucker for a happy ending. But, the more I thought about it, the more I wondered if he wasn't just doing the best job he could as a father and would I have been so appalled if it were the mother sneaking in formula. As mums who breastfeed we take all decisions and actions associated with nutrition and feeding away from our partners even though they are as much parents as we are. If my child was at risk of not gaining enough weight and my husband had a solution that worked, I would like to think I wouldn't let emotion and pride get in the way, I'd also like to think my husband would always do the best thing by my child. I guess the ultimate decision is – who actually decides what is best?
What do you think? Did the dad do the right thing?

Latest Stories
The substitute was delighted to get on, but it wasn't the reintroduction to match football she had hoped for - she came off the bench and on to the pitch at the expense of her friend Rachel Yankey, who suffered a hamstring pull. Carney got on with the job, as you would expect, and she is eager to put in a shift for England again today if she gets the chance. The 25-year-old Birmingham City player spent almost five weeks at St George's Park trying to get her ankle right for this tournament but she feels fit and determined. Here's what she had to say ahead of the big match against France tonight…
On the mood in the camp:
Everyone is preparing well, resting and very positive, we know what we have to do, it's simple really, we're just focusing on doing what we have to do.
On the game:
It's going to be tight, England - France is one of those rivalry games, we've played each other millions of times. I've played against a lot of those players since I was 15-16 because we've grown up in the same age groups together so we are familiar with them and I've played with Necib and Thomis for years and years. It's going to be tight but it's going to be good.
On how she is feeling:
It's been tough, I know I played 75-80 minutes the other day and it was a good building block for me, we'll see what [today] brings. Yanks is one of my best mates so I was gutted to come on for her really, I would have liked to have come on in different circumstances, whether it be we were winning or just to tighten things up but I went on and gave it my best and that's all I can do.
On her position:
I'll play anywhere, I've played in goal I've played up front, as long as I play and I can try make a positive influence, that's all that matters to me. I've played a lot in the 10 role, the 7, the 11, I could probably do a job at right back if need be but that's the case for every one of us.
On looking fit despite her lay-off:
It's because I was so proactive when I got injured with my diet and everything and when I went to St George's Park they said you are at such a fitness level we can't help you, we've just got to get your ankle better now. It was just a case of if you get your ankle sorted you'll be ok. Of course I'd like to be sharper and have matches under my belt but I'm not going to dwell on negativity, I'm here and if I'm asked to go on and do something I'll do it.
On what England need to do to win:
We've just got to stay in the game really for as long as possible. We need to be a bit tighter and compact as a team and probably bring a bit more fight to what we have been showing and get that bit between our teeth and that fire in our belly and really go for it. Everyone keeps going on about nerves, I think it's been a blip, people forgetting our journey, how we've got here, how many teams we beat, how well we've done. Yes it is a major tournament and people can put it down to nerves but we've lost one game and drew one game it's not the end of the world. People forget our 2009 journey where we lost the first game and were 2-0 down at half time in the second game and drew our third game. It's no different and we got to the final so for us [today] is all that matters and we've just got to bring an extra 10 per cent, no matter who it is or where it's from.
On fear:
I'm past caring about who we are up against, I really don't care anymore, all I want to do is go out there and give it our best and be supportive of team mates and make sure we get the win. I'm respectful of France, don't get me wrong, but it's about us now. England need three points, that's all that counts.

Tools needed: 10mm spanner (in toolkit), small-medium flat blade screwdriver
Undo the 10mm nut, highlighted in the red circle. This is the only fastener holding down the washer tank. Lift the tank up about 4", allowing you to unclip the black plastic heatshield around the washer pump. This is where you need the screwdriver, to lift the securing tab from the washer tank (yellow circle). You can actually pull out the complete washer pump from the tank. Just gently pull up, it is a friction fit.
Now unclip the washer level sensor plug (green circle). This clip is a little difficult to figure out. I pulled it hard and it came off. Taking a closer look at it once it was off, I couldn't quite see how to unclip it from its securing catch.
At this point you have removed the washer tank. The two tabs at the bottom of the tank fit into recesses in the body work, in order to secure the tank. There is a filter screen in the tank, where the washer pump plugs into the tank (blue circle). Just pry this up with a screwdriver to remove it. I had bought a new one, just in case. You can see the fluid level sensor socket on the left side of the tank in this pic.
Now unclip the pump connector from the pump. Pinch the tab at the top of the connector. This will unclip the connector from the securing tab. Pull out the water hose from the nozzle on the pump
Replace the pump filter screen into the tank, if necessary. Plug in the new washer pump into the filter screen. Connect the water hose back onto the pump.
Position the washer tank into its approximate location and clip the sensor for the fluid level back into its socket on the tank.
Secure the heatshield back onto the tank.
Now position the washer tank into its secured position and fill with a little water, in order to test the pump out. Fasten the 10mm screw back into the plug.
Really pumped (pun intended!) just did this as my first DIY on daughters 02 330i. Ordered the Bavarian AutoSport for $29 and it took about 3 minutes total, only dropped about 8
of washer fluid on the driveway! Thanks for the excellent DIY, hope you are still around after 6 years!

A few weeks ago I took Hollie, my third daughter, to her doctor's appointment for what I thought would be a routine checkup. For the last four and a half years Hollie has been wearing a back brace at night for scoliosis. In August of last year the doctor told us that she could stop wearing the brace for a while due to the fact that she had not been wearing it for a few months and that her curve had not worsened. We were thrilled at that news and were praying that he would tell us that we could stick to that plan.
Hollie and I were playing our typical doctor's examination room game of "I spy" as we waited on the doctor to come share the good news from her x-ray, but instead of coming into the room as he normally did the doctor stuck his head in and told us that he was going to get another x-ray of her hand. Now I have a doctors degree, but it is the kind of degree that my grandfather's third wife described as "the kind that doesn't do you any good!" In other words, my degree is a Doctor of Ministry degree and not a Medical Degree, but even I knew that we were there to see about her back and not her hand. Something was up and my stomach began to churn.
After a few more moments he came in and told me the curve had grown and that her growth plates, the reason for the x-ray of the hand, indicated that she still had much growing to do and that we needed to 'fix' the problem. I thought 'fixing' the problem would involve going back to the brace at night, but I was horrified to hear the 'fix' would involve putting rods into her spine to straighten her back.
We asked several questions and the doctor patiently answered every one. The doctor left us to get ready to leave and I will never forget Hollie's response…she said, "Dad, all things work together for the good!" My sixth grade daughter was quoting Romans 8:28 to her father who also happened to be her pastor and who was about to lose it and was simply trying to hold it all together.
She is right! God does work all things together for the good of those who love the Lord and who are called to His purposes and Hollie loves the Lord and she is called to His purposes…I don't know what God is going to do through this, but I do know He has great things in store for my beautiful baby girl.
Last week we took her to another surgeon in South Carolina where my father-in-law practices medicine and he confirmed that she does indeed need the surgery and we are not left with a decision—which doctor do we use? Hollie also has a pace maker and that puts another kink into the story, but we are praying and seeking wisdom and I would covet your prayers for her healing, for God's wisdom, and for peace in the process should God choose to allow her to go through the surgery and find healing through the doctor's hands rather than through His supernatural touch.

71 and 73 nova ac
Hi guys i got a 71 nova i'm workin on and now i also have a 73 with ac i am wondering if all the ac stuff will work on my 71 ? looks like it but i know looks don't always work out! and are replacements parts hard to find?
Let's move this thread to General Rodding Tech.
hi there
well it depends
dealer installed a/c?
factory a/c?
what engine?
dealer and factory installed a/c will be totally different from each other
dealer installed will have aftermarket a/c duct vents in the dash and the compressor wont be a harrison black colored one that is so common on GM vehicles
if one car has dealer and the other has factory then they wont interchange
also the dealer a/c wont have an a/c heater box assembly like harrison factory installed ones are
will be the smaller a/c delete heater box, and the a/c lines will run through the firewall, and not through the heater box.
ebay, chevy nova forums sites, and craigslist.org are ways to find parts you may need, i should have also if it is the old long style harrison compressor, and sbc engine.
good luck
Wo ok i knew it wouldnt be simple i will get more info but i think it is factory on the 73 my 71 never had ac at all.
You could probably make it work, but it won't be easy. To use the factory system on the 71 (that didn't have air when new) would require all of the under dash heater/ AC ducts, dash pad for a AC car, heater core, hole cut into fire wall, different heater/AC controls, control cables plus all of the AC parts under the hood. I think you would need to at least remove the right front fender and inner fender, and hood. It would be a chore.
Wow ok well hood and fenders are already off and i have the dash pad that fits from the 73 and cables and controls lol i think all the parts under the hood are there

A Journey to Freedom
April 14th, 2012• 5:35pm •
Below is Caleb's testimony from this past guy's Journey, and how the Lord delivered him from the extreme pain of stomach ulcers!
Well, I have to start out by saying all glory and praise be to God for his working and refinement in my life! I have to give a testimony of what the Lord has done in my heart during the Journey To The Heart program.
I had always wanted to go on a Journey, and when I received the opportunity to go it was right after I had had a few years of total rebellion against my parents, which was eating away my spirit and soul!
Then my two sisters came to visit me in Romania, and both of them recognized that I was in distress. My older sister Naomi registered for a whole year on Embassy Institute, and asked me to listen to one of the messages online. So I started listening to Paul and Jenny Speed's message on hidden failures, and the Holy Spirit grabbed a hold of my heart. I was so convicted I picked up the phone, called my parents, and confessed all my secret sins to them.
I went home right away and received counsel with Brother Jim Logan, and found freedom in Christ and started experiencing the Lord in my heart. I spent some more time building my relationship with my family and then departed back to Romania.
The Lord revealed to me two weeks before I came on the Journey that I had embraced the music of the family I lived with in Romania. I argued with the Lord, and He revealed to me during the journey how much this music affects me in my relationship with him, and that he could not bless my life with this music in my heart. I listened to wholesome classical music, and also mixed other music from the radio.
When I was in hiding with all my secret sins I had very extreme pain with stomach ulcers, but when I confessed everything and reconciled my heart to all that the Lord lead me to make right, the pain stopped! I had a scope operation done and the doctor said that I no longer had the bacteria in my body. So when I was on the Journey Brother Bill Gothard went through the new book Strong Delusions From Strange Fire, and again the Lord really challenged me again on music. As I argued with God, my stomach pain came back.
Well, just a few days ago on April 9, 2012, I gave the Lord all of my heart and gave up the music that I had embraced and reclaimed that surrendered ground. The pain decreased immediately! Praise the Lord for the Journey and all the truths the Lord has shown me, and all the rhemas he is teaching me. God bless you all and continue on with the Lord in His grace each moment and each day!

David Downs Hartman (born May 19, 1935) is an American journalist and media host who began his media career as an actor. He currently anchors and hosts documentary programs on cable TV's History and on PBS. Hartman is best known as the first host of ABC's Good Morning America, from 1975 to 1987. As an actor, he starred in the 1970s as a young resident, Dr. Paul Hunter, on The Bold Ones: The New Doctors and as a teacher in the series Lucas Tanner. Notable also for the 1976 TV movie re-make of Miracle On 34th Street
Early life[edit]
Born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, of German descent, Hartman attended Mount Hermon School (now Northfield Mount Hermon) and was geared toward professional baseball in high school. However, he turned down a baseball scholarship to attend Duke University, where he majored in economics and became a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity and Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity. After college, he served three years active duty as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, Strategic Air Command. He was a Supply Officer at Dow AFB in Bangor, Maine, and acted in local musicals there, including Oklahoma!, in the role of Curly.
Acting career (1964–1975)[edit]
Hartman appeared in two Broadway shows: the original Hello, Dolly! in 1964, and The Yearling (1965). After working in films such as The Ballad of Josie (1967), Nobody's Perfect (1968) and Did You Hear the One About the Traveling Saleslady? (1968), he refocused on television, and won serious attention as a dedicated doctor on The Bold Ones: The New Doctors, winning a nomination for a Golden Globe award.
He also appeared as the character David Sutton in more than two dozen episodes of the television series The Virginian. Hartman had guest-starring roles on a number of other popular TV series such as Marcus Welby, M.D., The Name of the Game and Ironside.
In 1970, Hartman appeared in the made-for-TV pilot film for San Francisco International as an embattled pilot whose wife was held hostage by criminals. He starred in the Disney movie The Island at the Top of the World (1974) as an archaeology professor. A year earlier, Hartman starred in Miracle on 34th Street, a remake of the holiday classic, along with Jane Alexander and Sebastian Cabot.
On the 1974-75 NBC series Lucas Tanner, Hartman played a retired baseball player turned unconventional high school teacher. The cancellation of this series marked the end of his acting career.
News and broadcasting career (1975–present)[edit]
On November 3, 1975, Hartman became one of the first co-hosts of ABC's new show Good Morning America (1975–1987). During his 11 years as host, GMA became the highest rated morning news program. He conducted more than 12,000 interviews.
Hartman usually closed each Good Morning America broadcast with the same benediction: "Make it a good day today."[1] In a statement that Hartman prepared for the 30th anniversary "GMA" broadcast in 2005, he explained, "My daily sign-off line, 'Make it a good day today,' reflected 'GMA's' values and the belief that each of us can affect our lives in a positive way, that our program was, we hoped, a public service."[2]
Hartman has been an anchor and host of a series of documentaries on the Discovery Channel and PBS member station WNET in New York City. Produced by James Nicoloro, the PBS documentaries are a series of "Walk Through" documentaries about various communities around New York City, which include A Walk Down 42nd Street (August 1998), A Walk Up Broadway (March 1999), A Walk Through Harlem (December 1999),[3] A Walk Around Brooklyn with David Hartman and Historian Barry Lewis (2000),[4] A Walk Through Greenwich Village (2001), A Walk Through Central Park (2001), A Walk Through Newark (2002),[5] A Walk Through Hoboken (2003),[6] A Walk Through Queens (2004),[7] A Walk Through the Bronx (2005),[8] and A Walk Around Staten Island (2007).[9]
In North Carolina, Hartman is also heard on North Carolina Public Radio and WCPE-FM as host of the North Carolina Symphony radio broadcasts. For the television documentaries he has done, Hartman would win several Emmy and journalist awards.
Personal life[edit]
Hartman was married to Maureen Downey from 1974 until her death on September 17, 1997. In 2001, he married Mary Clark Putman, a widowed homemaker.[10] He has four children from his first marriage.

No. 13/14 Georgia Defeats Georgia Southern 4-1
March 26, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. - The No. 13/14 Georgia softball team defeated in-state rival Georgia Southern 4-1 in non-conference action on Wednesday, March 26 at Jack Turner Stadium in Athens, Ga. With the win, the Bulldogs improve to 29-3 on the year, while Georgia Southern falls to 21-11 overall.
Geri Ann Glasco got the start for the Bulldogs and got the win to improve to 13-1 on the year. She allowed one run on eight hits and two walks, while striking out five in six innings of work. The Bulldogs turned to Chelsea Wilkinson in the top of the seventh inning with the tying run on deck. She struck out the first two batters she faced before getting the final batter to ground out to earn her second save of the year. Sarah Purvis suffered the loss for Georgia Southern to drop to 11-5 overall. She allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk in five innings in the circle. Brooke Red threw the final inning for the Eagles and did not give up a run.
The Georgia offense was led by Paige Wilson, who went 2-for-3 with a double and a RBI. The Bulldogs added two more home runs to their season total, getting homers by Kaylee Puailoa and Bethany Beggs.
After a scoreless first inning, the Bulldogs were able to take a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second on back-to-back home runs by Puailoa and Beggs. With one out, Puailoa belted a home run into the pines beyond the right field wall before Beggs followed with a home run of her own that made it a 2-0 game.
The Eagles looked to answer in the top of the third after a single, a fielder's choice and an infield single put a pair of runners aboard with one out. The pair moved into scoring position on a groundout, but a stellar play at second by Alex Hugo ended the inning with two runners stranded in scoring position.
The Bulldogs added two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to extend their lead to 4-0. Malia Rivers led off the inning with a pinch hit double down the left field line for her first extra-base hit as a Bulldog. With a runner at second, Niaja Griffin sacrificed Rivers to third. One batter later, Samantha LaZear singled up the middle, allowing Rivers to plate Georgia's third run of the game. With two outs, Paige Wilson doubled down the right field line and into the corner, allowing LaZear to cross the plate easily and give Georgia a 4-0 lead.
The Eagles got a run back in the top of the sixth inning on a solo home run by Kourtny Thomas that made it a 4-1 game. After a single, Glasco retired the final three batters in order, leaving a runner stranded at third.
With a runner at first and no outs in the top of the seventh, the Bulldogs went to the bullpen for Wilkinson who promptly struck out the first two batters she faced before getting the final batter to ground out to Hugo at second to end the inning, preserving Georgia's 4-1 win.
Georgia returns to Southeastern Conference play this weekend, March 28-30, when it travels to Columbia, Mo., to face the No. 16/19 Missouri Tigers. Friday's game is set to start at 7:30 p.m. ET

Some Lawmakers Have Requests For Districts Hard Hit By Irene
11/10/11 5:50PM By John Dillon
| Download MP3
(Dillon) Lawmakers who gathered in Montpelier learned new details about both the personal and the financial toll from Tropical Storm Irene.
And, as VPR's John Dillon reports, some came with particular requests to help their hard-hit districts.(Dillon) Neale Lunderville is the Shumlin administration's chief Irene recovery officer. He gave a by-the-numbers overview of the storm damage. He started with the impact on housing:
(Lunderville) "We believe there are about 14-hundred residences that have faced significant damage. ... It's an estimate and we will see this number evolve over time."
(Dillon) Lunderville said there are ongoing issues with housing, with people living in temporary or inadequate situations.
(Lunderville) "These are somebody living in an RV. It's not going to work when it's 20 below zero. Somebody who's living in a neighbor's house. The generosity of that neighbor can't be overstated. But after three or four months it's going to start to get pretty rough. These are folks who are precariously housed, as we call them."
(Dillon) The hardest hit counties were Washington, Windsor, Windham and Rutland.
The town of Wilmington in the Deerfield Valley estimates at least 28 apartments or homes were lost. The damage to the Wilmington business district - and the town's tax base - was also particularly severe. The storm also left Wilmington with huge bills to fix the municipal building and fire station.
Anne Manwaring is a Democrat who represents Wilmington and Halifax. She says that under the state's school funding law, Wilmington has to send money to the state Education Fund. The town's $2 million payment is due December 1st.
(Manwaring) "And we've got less than $2 (million) in the till. And no more tax revenues until the end of February."
(Dillon) So Manwaring wants some flexibility from the state. She's seeking legislation that would delay when towns have to pay the money. The bill would also waive any interest penalties the towns may owe. Manwaring says many towns like Wilmington face a cash crunch as they pay for Irene repairs but then have to wait for months for the federal government to reimburse them.
(Manwaring) "This is a cash flow issue. This is not something where we're trying to make any changes, just to accommodate the cash situation of some 25 to 50 municipalities in the state have probably got some serious impact in that sense."
(Dillon) Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said local banks have helped towns meet their cash flow needs with very low interest loans. He said the Shumlin administration is not ready to endorse the proposal to delay school tax payments.
(Spaulding) "As I understand it, it would require legislative action. So I'm not sure whether it's practical and haven't thought through the potential policy implications of going down that road. So it is something that's under consideration. Whether it's necessary with the banks stepping up to the plate, I think, is not clear right now."
(Dillon) Spaulding agreed that a big issue facing the towns is how quickly federal payments will come through. But he cautioned against taking action to help towns that could have other policy and fiscal impacts in the future.For VPR News, I'm John Dillon in Montpelier

Megadeth - Crush 'Em with Ferocity and Finesse
Now that Megadeth is back at it, we thought we'd dig this DM interview to rekindle your passions. You can catch the "BIG FOUR" Tour this summer, featuring Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Should be a fun time......now on with the interview
Dave Mustaine is a busy guy. In addition to pursuing a degree in business at the University of Phoenix, earning a second black belt in Ukidokan, doing the family thing with wife Pam and their two kids Justis and Electra, and dabbling in entrepreneurial interests, he also remains the driving force behind Megadeth, which recently opened the latest chapter in its 17 year history with Risk. The first single, "Crush Em," was featured in the Jean-Claude Van Damme action flick "Universal Soldier, and is taking the radio and sports worlds by storm. We recently caught up with Mustaine between a triumphant appearance on VH-1's Rock 'N' Roll Jeopardy (which airs at the end of October) and a publicity jaunt to Japan.
Guitar.com: "Crush Em" conjures up visions of rioting football fans in the UK.
Dave Mustaine: A hooligan song. Actually that's not far from the source because I'm a rabid hockey fan, and seeing hockey as much as I do, when they score a goal they play that Gary Glitter "Rock N Roll, Part 2" song -- I fucking hate that song. I almost hate it as much as I hate the guy's last name. And I thought, I have to create a song now so that song will never be played again.' And I set out to make a hockey song.
Guitar.com: "Risk" not only covers a lot of ground in terms of mood, but it's full of more sonic subtleties.
Mustaine: I played more guitar on this record than I played on any record probably in the past four or five records. Because I'm doing all these acoustic live shows I got my acoustic chops up. Usually when we would go into the studio, the acoustic parts were handled by Marty [Friedman], but I did the majority of them this time and I did a lot of other guitar playing that Marty would more often than not handle himself. And when he came in he actually complimented me on the amount of work I did as well as the quality, and I was really flattered.
Guitar.com: Do you still practice? Is there a daily regimen that you go through?
Mustaine: How many dentists do you know that go home and practice drilling? How many surgeons sit there and practice tying knots?
Guitar.com: But there must still be challenges that you face as a musician?
Mustaine: I would say, for me, probably the most challenging thing is dodging snot and spitballs and shoes and shit. When I first started, my front teeth were both the same length. I remember one day somebody body surfed to the front of the stage and hit the mic stand. And it hit me right in my teeth cause I sing on the microphone. And he fell onto the stage and I kicked him right in the head. And he stood up and he was about four feet tall and probably around twelve years old and I felt like a total loser. 'Cause I just lost control. I mean, I'd been hit in the mouth a bunch of times by people coming over and this was the first guy that was actually trapped on stage and he was mine.
Guitar.com: I guess that's the rock equivalent of road rage - stage rage.
Mustaine: They say nice guys finish last -- that's absolutely true, but I think that if you knew guys like Clint Eastwood that have the tough guy intimidator kind of persona were really inside good guys even though they portray bad asses, people would change their mentality. It's much harder to have someone cornered and know that you have every right to hammer them and then let them go than it is to beat the hell out of them. There've been so many times when I've had an opportunity, and legally had the right to pound somebody and I didn't do it because I don't need the unnecessary negative press. I don't need to hurt somebody even if they did make a mistake. I know that I have, and may continue to make the same mistakes that people make. It's tough trying to be a good guy.
Guitar.com: Counting to ten is hard.
Mustaine: Oh, I've counted to a hundred a few times.
Guitar.com: Has the music business gotten easier to deal with or have the challenges just changed?
Mustaine: The hardest part is remembering the names of the people. So, it's Dude!' Dude?' Dude -- ' Dude.' Hey, dude.' And if its someone I really like I say, You're the MAN.' What's happenin' DUDE.' It comes down to things like when it's somebody getting something from us, they're on us like a second coat of paint and when it's time for us to get something from somebody, we have to play the waiting game. And that's sad. That shouldn't be how people do business in America. And I'm not implying that it's anybody in particular. It's like that with just about everyone we've encountered.
Guitar.com: Generally though, you seem to thrive on the business side of all this as much as the music. Many artists would just as soon not bother with the business.
Mustaine: That's the people that get fucked. Those are guys that end up like Billy Joel or Stevie Wonder or TLC or any of the other myriads of people who end up getting ripped off. If you keep your mind on your money and your money on your mind you're gonna make sure that you don't ever get into a hole and you don't have to play music to keep the lights on. You play it because you actually love it.
Guitar.com: Has your working relationship in the band changed a lot over the years?
Mustaine: Yeah. We tried it the way of a dictatorship, and then we tried a democracy and then it went down to being pretty much like a group conscience and I was the trusted leader. And that's worked the best. 'Cause I have the final say-so but I want everyone to know that their opinion is important to me because they're all my business partners.

Basal-like carcinoma and triple-negative cancer?
- Question from Rocky: I have triple-negative breast cancer and the pathologist characterized it as basal-like carcinoma. Is it correct to think of basal-like carcinoma as a subset of triple-negative cancer? My understanding is that basal-like carcinoma has an even worse prognosis than triple-negative. Can you comment on this?
- Answers - George Sledge, M.D. Basal-like cancers and triple-negative cancers overlap with each other. Not all triple-negative breast cancers are basal-like, and not all basal cancers are triple-negative, though most triple-negative breast cancers are basal and most basal cancers are triple-negative. Since the definition of a basal cancer is a definition derived from the area of genomics, my suspicion here is that the pathologist was using basal and triple-negative in the overlapping sense rather than in a well-defined genetic sense. From a prognostic standpoint, if a tumor is basal or if it is triple-negative, that is a tumor that probably puts one at higher risk of recurrence in the absence of systemic therapy. But as we have mentioned earlier, these tumors are frequently very sensitive to systemic chemotherapy in terms of preventing recurrence and death. And as we mentioned, this is only one factor among many that determines prognosis; other factors being the stage and grade of the tumor.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Triple-Negative Breast Cancer featured George Sledge, M.D. and Beth Baughman DuPree, M.D., F.A.C.S. answering your questions about triple-negative breast cancer and its treatment.

The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in February fell 0.1 point from the previous month to 3.6 percent, the lowest since July 2007, the Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry said Friday.
It was the first improvement in two months, but the number of new job offers nationwide, a leading indicator of employment, sagged 2.9 percent to 840,000.
Separately, the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry said the ratio of job openings to job-seekers in February edged up 0.01 point at 1.05 after seasonal adjustment, rising for the 15th consecutive month and marking its highest level in 6½ years.
Reflecting the economic rebound and last-minute demand before the first stage of the consumption tax hike in April, "the balance of supply and demand has considerably tightened" in the labor market, an internal affairs ministry official said.
In February, both people looking for jobs and job openings declined. A labor ministry official said the falls were apparently caused by the heavy snowy weather that month.
The internal affairs ministry said the number of people at work rose 130,000 from the previous month to 63.32 million, while the ranks of the jobless fell 90,000 to 2.33 million.
The jobless rate for people aged 15 to 24 meanwhile fell 0.7 point to 5.8 percent.
The jobs-to-seekers ratio represents the number of effective job offers per person seeking jobs. New job offers rose from the manufacturing and service industries, including temporary staffing agencies, but fell among education service providers.
The ratio was highest at 1.53 in Aichi Prefecture and lowest in Okinawa at 0.62.

QUEENS, N.Y. — Former Tar Heel All-America, Nicholas Monroe, playing in his first ever main draw grand slam match Tuesday at the U.S. Open at Flushing Meadow with Donald Young scored a first-round come-from-behind upset victory over the seventh seed in the tournament.
Monroe, of Olathe, Kan., and Young, of Atlanta, received a USTA Wild Card and played the seventh-seeded team of Michael Llodra (FRA) and Nenad Zimonjic (SRB) in the first round.
After dropping the first set 5-7, Monroe and Young stormed back to win the match, 6-3 in the second set and 6-4 in the third set.
Next up for Monroe and Young will be the winners of a first round doubles match between Julien Benneteau and Nicolas Mahut of France and Sanchai Ratiwatana and Sonchat Ratiwatana of Thailand.
Six months ago Monroe made the decision to primarily focus on doubles. During this time Monroe has won three Challengers in Italy, Mexico and Columbia. He also has reached the doubles finals in Dallas, Honolulu and Tunis. He is currently ranked #92 in the world.
Monroe achieved All-America honors in 2004, advancing to the NCAA Quarterfinals.
