I had a pleasant surprise this morning when copying some code from a

This worked with both | and > as the start-of-line character in the

It's 1997. At first glance, the mural-graced wall enclosing Trenton State Prison looks like that of a minor-league baseball stadium, but the accordion wire along the top and the dark glass of the turret windows are the tip-off: This a maximum-security prison -- and home of Greg Smith.
My companion and I park by the Doin' Time Bar and join the crowd awaiting contact visit no. 3. You can always tell who's here for the first time: They get in the wrong line or violate the arbitrary and arcane dress code. Today my companion is turned away for wearing sweatpants. Who knew?
A guard yells, "Visit three will begin now!" followed by a summary barking of the rules and names. At "Smith!" I get in line. I show the stamp I got at the stamp desk, shuffle through the metal detector, get frisked and waved through.
Jammed hip-to-butt, we visitors shuffle awkwardly through a series of holding cells between doors with automatic locks until we reach our destination.
The visiting room is large and L-shaped, with plastic chairs set in long rows to discourage intimacy. As prisoners filter in to greet loved ones, I imagine Greg making his way through a dim -- or is it bright? -- maze of corridors that I will never see. I wait, watching wives and kids and brothers and grandmas strain to be cheerful with their men, all under the gaze of the guards on the bulletproof-glass observation deck. After a while, I begin to panic. My companion has gone home, and there is no sign of Greg.
Finally, a guard informs me that Greg was recently moved, and the central message center can't find him. "You mean he's lost?" I stammer. The guard shrugs, sympathetic but just as powerless as I am.
Halfway into the visiting hour, Greg arrives, handsomely dressed in jeans and a burgundy polo shirt. But there's a grim, angry set to his jaw. By now, I'm frustrated too. In the world beyond these walls, a lost 30 minutes wouldn't enrage us like this. But here, where inside and outside touch only fleetingly and on Sunday-best behavior, every second must be picture perfect.
Smith is serving 25 years for assault and attempted murder stemming from an alleged biting incident while in custody in 1989 on a robbery charge. Sound harsh? Absolutely. What makes Smith subject to more brutal punishment than other prisoners is that he has HIV. From the first day of his original five-year sentence, he was viewed by prison officials as a diseased troublemaker. Judy Greenspan, chair of the HIV and Prison Committee of California Prison Focus, has followed many cases of HIV positive people incarcerated on charges out of all proportion to the actual incident. "Guards come to expect they will get into scuffles and fights with inmates," she says. "The average prisoner gets 30 days in segregation. But the assumption is that people with HIV are attempting to kill the guard, not defending themselves."
Greg Smith's trial in New Jersey made headlines from Washington, DC, to New York City. Many activists were shocked that a biting charge brought more jail time than most murderers serve. After all, we thought, it's 1990 -- only crackpots still believed that HIV could be transmitted through saliva. Greg had his moment as a cause celebre, but once his name and mug shot vanished from the papers, his fate slipped from my mind. This guy will get lousy care and little support, I thought, and there's no way he'll make it out alive. Back then, I didn't even expect my positive friends, with their state-of-the-art regimens, to last another 25 years.
Then, a year and a half ago, friends from ACT UP/Philadelphia told me about a New Jersey prisoner with HIV who was writing a memoir. I had covered prison and HIV issues early in the epidemic and helped several prisoners place their writing. This seemed like a match made in heaven. So I sent a letter to someone I had long ago put down as a dead man walking.
And he wrote back.
I'm now pleased to report that Gregory Dean Smith is alive and well and making trouble in Trenton State Prison.
I began to visit Greg, sending letters between trips to the prison. I plied him with questions about his medical care and AIDS advocacy, and he regaled me with tales of his (usually) near-miss sexual conquests. Besides being, by the nature of his offense, open about his serostatus, Greg is one of only a handful of openly gay men in the New Jersey prison system. Early in his prison life, he became close friends with another young, openly gay man, a "big queen who can do some damage," Smith told me. "We always hang together, eating meals and watching each other's back. We use our special names, and we 'read' the other inmates for who is hot and who is not."
I also got the full story behind his sensational "biting murder" case. Greg Smith was frantic at his 1989 sentencing for the robbery conviction. He got five years, which, pre-protease, may as well have been 5,000. His only hope, he thought, was to get official assurance that he could serve his time at the AIDS ward in Trenton's state facility. He was 27 years old. He had dropped out of high school and then had been discharged from the army. He had gone to New York City, waited tables and partied hard. Deep into drugs, he was soon committing petty crimes and racking up misdemeanors. In 1985, Greg tested positive, and he got scared; his drug use escalated and so did his crimes. While awaiting this transfer, Smith, quite ill, fell out of bed and hurt his back. When hospital staff declined to take X-rays, Smith demanded a copy of his medical report. The staff viewed this as an affront and tempers flared. Accounts of what happened next conflict. According to the two guards present, Smith became violent, then threatened, spit on and finally bit one of them; according to Smith, he was beaten, handcuffed and dragged out of the hospital, where the guards and Smith fell to the ground. To this day he swears that a bite analysis -- never carried out by the court -- would have proved that the handcuffs and not Greg's teeth made the marks on the officer's hand.
The day after the scuffle, Greg awoke facing charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault and making terroristic threats. When the case went to trial nine months later, the officer who was allegedly bitten was on disability for post-traumatic stress syndrome; the one who charged only assault had reportedly left corrections for the ministry. Smith sat in prison.
The State of New Jersey v. Gregory Dean Smith began on April 3, 1990, like a B-grade TV courtroom drama. In his opening statement, Assistant Prosecutor Harold Kasselman depicted Smith as a hard case who, in his desperate bid to do his time in a cushy medical unit, "intimidated and threatened sheriff's officers" with a dangerous weapon. This was no ordinary weapon, he went on, "it wasn't a machete, it wasn't a homemade shiv and it wasn't a handgun that he smuggled into the jail. It was his own personal weapon of misery."
Dramatizing the peril of Smith's very presence for the jury, he said, "he carried with him a virus and he carries it with him today." He argued that the fact that HIV cannot be transmitted through biting was irrelevant to the charge of attempted murder. As long as he could prove that Smith intended to kill the guard by "giving him AIDS," then Smith should be found guilty.
As effectively as Kasselman used Smith's HIV against him, the court-appointed defense attorney, Ralph Kramer, argued that Smith was simply a patient desperate for adequate care for AIDS and an injured back. He asked the jury to imagine itself in Smith's situation: "You scream and you yell and you pray to God that somebody's listening. He can't go to Cooper Hospital, ladies and gentlemen, when he wants to, he can't go to his family physician when he wants to, he can't go to his preacher for comfort when he wants to. He's locked in a cell." In addition to humanizing Smith, Kramer argued that there could be no intent to kill because Smith was well-educated about HIV and knew that transmitting the virus through biting was impossible.
Was it a night of threats from a belligerent prisoner or one of AIDS hysteria? Was Greg Smith a monster or a victim? This was the stark choice the jury faced as the weeklong trial concluded. Smith didn't have to wait long. On April 11, 1990, he was found guilty of attempted murder, assault of a police officer and making "terroristic threats."
ACT UP and the ACLU were out in full colors for the May 18, 1990 sentencing. The prosecution asked the Honorable John B. Marino to give Greg an "extended term" of 50 years as a "persistent offender"; the defense, after reminding the judge of Smith's ill health and lack of a violent record, asked for the minimum. Marino opted for the maximum, but not "extended" term, a total of 25 years, half of which Smith had to serve before he could try for parole.
The harshness of the sentence literally stunned Smith's supporters. "I was so upset, I stood up and yelled in open court," recalls veteran advocate Judy Greenspan. "I thought the first voice would be ACT UP's, but it was mine, screaming, 'You've given this man a death sentence!'"
Greenspan, like many activists and people with HIV, was outraged that Smith was being punished less for getting physical with a guard -- a relatively routine prison infraction -- than for having HIV. "This was a 'symbolic landmark' case," said Scott Burris, associate professor of law at Temple University. "It added nothing new to the body of legal rules, but it dramatically illustrated the capacity of stigma and racism and HIV phobia to justify official brutality."
Greenspan goes further. "The judicial system is trying to criminalize the very existence of people with HIV," she says. "It's that simple. In virtually all of the dozen or so cases of this kind, the person was incarcerated on petty drug or theft charges. But officials seem to believe people with HIV who get in brushes with the law should be kept in prison as long as possible."
Hard-nosed prosecutors like Kasselman reject this analysis as the sentimentality of naive, dewy-eyed radicals. At the sentencing he took a swipe at Smith's supporters. "This man is a selfish, malicious three-time felony loser," he told the packed courtroom. "It is unconscionable and unfair to try to raise this individual as a martyr, to place him in the same category as people like Ryan White, who truly were veterans of discrimination."
For all the press and stress of his trial, this period remains a blur for Smith. During it his mother was very sick with cancer. On the night before jury selection, he was up late in his Trenton cell worrying and reading his nightly Bible. "About 1 am, just as I began saying my prayers, it started to thunder outside," Smith tells me on one of my visits. "Not a cloud in the sky, but it was the loudest thunder. And when I finished praying, the thunder stopped. That's when I knew my mother had passed away. I cried all night. I said to myself, 'Gregory, it can't get any worse than this.'" A photo of Smith at her funeral, shackled and flanked by prison guards, ran in the local papers.
In memory of her, Smith began to focus on advocating for other HIV positive inmates in the hope that his attempted-murder conviction would be struck down. He wasn't alone. In November 1990, radical lawyer William Kunstler announced that he would handle the appeal. The ACLU and nearly two dozen gay, AIDS and human rights groups filed an amicus brief on Greg's behalf. Argued in November 1992, the highly technical and lengthy appeal challenged the handling of evidence concerning the feasibility of transmitting HIV through biting, and argued that the jury instructions were improper. The following February, the court upheld the original decision. Smith's disappointment turned to devastation when Kunstler died in 1995. "I was hurt, really heartbroken," Smith recalls. "He was the lawyer of little people. I remember talking to him on the phone and saying, 'Mr. Kunstler,' but he said, 'No, Mr. Smith, call me Bill.'" Years passed. The reality that he was likely to be in prison for a long time began to set in. His lawyers abandoned his case, and his health deteriorated. A few supporters kept in touch; ACT UP/Philadelphia, along with family friend Jacqueline Smith, sent him monthly food packages with special items that helped Greg "feel like I was still a person."
Then, in 1996, ACT UP joined with a local prison-rights group to protest the privatization of the New Jersey prison medical system, charging that the co-payment system implemented by Correctional Medical Services, the new vendor, disadvantaged people with chronic illnesses. "Greg called us daily with updates on what was happening inside," said ACT UP/Philadelphia's Asia Russell. "He reported on the inmates' concerns over being able to pay to see doctors." The advocate and organizer in Greg Smith was reborn. Soon he was contributing a regular column to Critical Path, the award-winning HIV treatment information website and newsletter managed by Kiyoshi Kuromiya (see POZ, February/March 1996). "He's bright and talented," Kuromiya says. "It's a waste of his life -- and state funds -- to keep him in prison for a silly offense. That's why we send him writing materials and food."
It's 1998: Last year's visits with the once-upbeat Greg now seem to me like a dream. For most of the past year, he has been locked in "administrative segregation" (Ad Seg) with about 300 of Trenton's 2,000-plus prisoners cited for misbehavior. He is locked down for 23 hours a day, and denied contact visits. Greg believes he is in Ad Seg for trying to organize a prisoner work stoppage against new cost-cutting policies that limit visits and phone calls, eliminate food packages and require inmates to wear only prison uniforms. The administration refuses to comment on the reason for his confinement.
Mary Petty, a social worker and ACT UPer who regularly visits Greg, worries about the decline in Greg's mental and physical health. "The whole point of Ad Seg is to limit social contact, both with other prisoners and with the outside world," she says. "The general skewing of perspective that prisoners develop from being out of society is exacerbated by the segregation. Basically, its designed to drive them crazy."
It's hard to hold a conversation over a bad phone and through a wall of Plexiglas. At first, I felt silly putting my hand up to match Greg's, as though this somehow made up for the lack of "contact." I feel defiant in this gesture: They can keep prisoners from their only outside contacts, but they cannot stop us from aligning the few things we have in common, for the few minutes we have together.
For all the distance, there are moments like this: Ever the gossip, Greg eyes the visitors next to me, a transperson with a young child. He spots a macho guy walking to the prisoner side of the locked cage. "Did he sit down across from the cross-dresser?" Greg asks excitedly. I say yes. "Damn! I knew it!" Greg squeals in delight. He has long suspected the prisoner is a "queen," but the man has always denied it.
In our last few visits, I've been pleased to see that Greg's will to fight is returning. He has figured out how to accessorize his drab new clothes, and he has even shared a new joke or two. The big concern now is Greg's health. Since his arrest in 1989, his weight has fluctuated from 160 to 110 and back. He's had Bell's Palsy -- a viral infection in the facial nerves -- and he has lost all of his teeth through poor dental care. His doctor visits are minimal, and his lab work sporadic. He is currently taking diflucan and Bactrim along with vitamins and Ensure, but no antiretrovirals.
It's lonely inside. With little to gain in the way of medical attention, many men don't want to admit they have HIV. "They figure they're going to die anyway," says Smith, "so why go through the hassle of people knowing they have HIV?" It is hard to get proper care for yourself, much less push for better treatment institution-wide.
But Smith is one man who's trying. He's at the forefront of a revolution inside that we on the outside can help by making sure that he can at least pay for his prescriptions and doctors' visits. In the meantime, Greg Smith is working on his memoir. We should all be so lucky to find a place in his pages. When he finally gets out of prison, besides continuing to work on his memoirs, Greg vows to give his time to ACT UP. "I picture myself answering the phone," he says. "ACT UP, Greg Smith here. How can I help you?"
"Everyone in here wants to remind you that you're dying, as though they are immortal and are not ever going to die."

Beginning approximately a decade ago with a program about Dan Brown's book The DaVinci Code, our relationship has grown to one of deep respect and friendship. The friendship between Rabbi Vogel and Monsignor McNamara has come to symbolize the relationship between our communities. Since 2005 we have held an annual pulpit exchange during which Rabbi Vogel speaks at Sunday mass and Monsignor McNamara speaks at a Friday evening Shabbat service. Both communities attend these services and greet one another as friends. Each year we have held a Thanksgiving interfaith program often including the choirs from both communities joining together in song.
We are committed to interfaith dialogue through various programs and activities, in partnership with St. Bernardine of Siena Church, the Mohammedi Center, and other religious communities, including interfaith panel discussions and text studies, social justice projects, including sandwich making on Mitzvah Day, which benefit those in the greater community who suffer from chronic hunger.
These programs have been recognized by the Los Angeles City Council, The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism Pacific Southwest Region, and the Valley Interfaith Council. Our interfaith efforts have also been recognized by Congressman Brad Sherman with the presentation of a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition.
Our annual inter-faith programs include:
- Annual Pulpit Exchange
- Mitzvah Day Sandwich-Making for the Homeless and Chronically Hungry (in conjunction with St. Bernardine, the Mohammedi Center, and the Pacific Boys' Lodge)
- Thanksgiving Interfaith Program

Dance For Parkinson's Disease
Published June 9th, 2012
Loading Video...
Dance programs for people with Parkinson's disease are making their way all over the country, including Gainesville.
The center for Arts and Medicine at the University of Florida is partnering up with a dance group from Brooklyn, New York to offer more support to people affected by the Parkinson's disease.
UF has received a grant from the parkinson research foundation to study the relation of dance and the disease.
Jill Sonke, Director of UF Arts & Medicine: "There's a body of research that's just beginning to look at what it is about dance that can potentially be of use to people with Parkinson's disease. So we know that the social interaction is really helpful and we're beginning to look at the physical parts of what makes a difference."
Dance teachers and practitioners will offer free dance therapy to people with Parkinson's or family and friends, tomorrow at 1 PM in UF's Constans Theatre.

I used to get tormented on the schoolbus in the 8th grade by a group of boys. Every day. They would scream things at me, a few times one would bring a balloon and poke me in the butt as I was getting off the bus, they were AWFUL. I used to go home and sob.
My mother called the school, talked to the bus driver, the principal, nobody did ANYTHING.
It was awful, and I still remember those boys and every one of their first and last names.
I tried yelling back at them as I got off the bus, giving them the finger silently as I got off, nothing made them stop.
So, I took matters into my own hands, and when I'd see one of them in the hallway in school and there were a lot of kids around, I would casually kick them REALLY REALLY REALLY HARD AS I COULD in the shin as I walked by them. I wouldn't move my head at all or make eye contact, I'd just kick them as hard as I could and keep going.
I actually got a pair of pointy ballet flats for this very reason...to make them hurt as much as possible.
I know violence is never the answer, but my GOSH. I was in so much pain that year because they used to torment me so much on the bus and nobody would do anything to make them stop.

Sliding Glass door leak.....
I have an older aluminum sliding glass door made by Lumidor. When we get heavy blowing rains against the door I get water inside.
It appears that the holes in the drain tracks are just draining under the bottom track and into the house. I do not see anywhere on the outside of the house that the tracks could drain....
A little background, I bought the house this year with a lots of remodeling, House was built in 68. They changed all windows / doors, except the slider. A back deck was added over the concrete slab walking out the slider.
Inside the house walking up to the slider is tile .. .and to the right is carpet. So the water seems to come in where the tile meets the lip to the slider, then the tile grout pushes the water along the seem of the tile and slider lip to the carpet.
Right now all indications to my unhome-educated mind say it is water in the tracks draining underneath the frame into the house. Water does not "pour" over the tracks into the house.
I am close to filling the drain holes with silicon and possible drilling small holes in the outside track to drain water......can anyone recommend something else????
I know I really need a new door probably, but cant afford it now...
Any help appreciated!
You can replace the door with one that is thermally efficient and installed correctly or you can pull this door and install it correctly. Anything else is a waste of time.
Thanks for the reply .... this door is big so Its gonna cost me ... ughhh.

Post a picture if you can.

lets see if this works...
I can't tell you how to fix the door, but I can tell you how to check/solve your problem.
This is a case where you must do a "garden hose flood test". Take a garden hose with the water flow on low, like the amount of water flow that would fill up a glass of water in ten seconds or more. You must have a helper and you must do the test during dry weather.
With a helper observing on the inside, carefully direct the flow of water onto suspicious water entry points on the outside. This would include the sides of the door, the top of the door, and any seams, openings, screw heads, windows, cracks or other features located anywhere higher than the bottom track of the sliding door. Hold the water on each spot for a period of two minutes, or until the observer reports water leaking on the inside in the location that is causing the problem. You must systematically check each suspect area.
The water might be entering the building somewhere other than where the water is appearing. Once the water enters the wall, it has an unobstructed path to the inside of the sliding door track. The reason it is appearing in the vicinity of the sliding door is that this happens to be the path of least resistance.
Fortunately, it is much easier to prevent the water from entering the wall in the first place than it is to prevent the water from leaking into the sliding door track after it has already entered. You must simply do your homework and locate the entry point, seal it with a compatible caulking and the problem should be solved.
Although the process is tedious and time consuming, it is far better than, for example, removing and replacing a sliding door at a cost of thousands of dollars, only to discover that the problem was really caused by a small gap in the window sill above (this has actually happened).
I know this is not answering your question directly, but I hope it puts you on the path to finding the cause of the leak and correcting it successfully.

I don't see any weep holes on the outside. I looks like there covered with stucco. You need the weep holes for water to drain to the outside of the house.
Yep ... I think that is the problem, I have holes in the tracks, but no where for water to drain out.
Do think they were just covered up in the remodel and I can somehow uncover them???

Yes and yes.
The weep holes are more that likely lined up with the holes on top. If not, somewhere in the first few inches of the corner of the door. There should be one at each corner.
What I would do is remove the stucco the entire length of the door 1/8" below the door frame. Then install flashing to slide under the door and over and down the stucco an inch. Then caulk the flashing to the door. Just don't caulk over the weep holes.
You would probably need to pull that first deck to do a nice job.

It just wouldn't seem like spring if the Lake Oswego baseball team wasn't fielding a squad with the potential to win a league title and perhaps make a deep run in the state playoffs.
The Lakers have reloaded again this season and feature a potent line-up as well as deep starting pitching.
Lake Oswego's ace this year will be Brock Pellow. Pellow had plenty of varsity experience and is a returning all-state player.
Behind Pellow will be No. 2 starter Will Waterman who established himself with a terrific summer season last year.
For the No. 3 starter position, Anders has some options. Mitch Lomax, Mitch Mechigian and Sam Lee have all been throwing well and should see plenty of time on the mound this year.
"This could be one of those years where we could pitch by committee a little bit," coach Jake Anders said.
Lake Oswego's line-up should also be very formidable this year.
That line-up will be anchored by shortstop Tyler Campbell who has one of the better gloves and most feared bats in the state.
"He was an elite player last year. People definitely know who he is," Anders said of Campbell who has already made a commitment to Oregon State University.
The Lakers return another all-state player in catcher Taylor Sanders.
Austin Gallagher will man first base for the Lakers and Ryan Ramey takes over at second base.
At third base, Harrison Ramey and Max Gabriel will both likely see playing time this year.
Lake Oswego returns its entire outfield from last year in Michael Stroble, Grant Taylor and Pellow and all three of those players figure to play a key role in the Lakers' offense.
Anders is predicting a breakout year from Pellow not just on the mound but also at the plate.
"He's always had a ton of potential on offense. He's a guy that gets on base but also can hit for power," Anders said.
But the key for Lake Oswego will be being consistent from the top of the line-up to the bottom.
"I want balance from 1 through 9 and I think we have that this year. Our offense could be pretty potent," Anders said.
Lake Oswego has a little bit of everything on offense this year with both speed and power.
"We have some guys who can run a bit and I think we're going to be a gap-hitting team. I've never been a guy who wants to rely on home runs. Give me a guy who hits .400 with two home runs over the guy who hits .300 with five home runs," Anders said.
Lake Oswego expects to be in the thick of the Three Rivers League race again this year while getting a stiff test from West Linn and others in a league without a weak link this season.
"If you take a day off in the Three Rivers League you're going to lose it," Anders said.
The Lakers will play in 10 non-league games before opening league play including its annual trip to Arizona.
In its jamboree, the Lakers showed their potential but, like a number of teams, struggled defensively.
"We kicked it around a lot. We definitely have room to improve but we have the players in place," Anders said.

Sony Bringing PlayStation Games to Android
The PlayStation Phone may be real, but there are millions of Android users out there who, for one reason or another, won't be purchasing the Android-based PSPhone. However, eager to not miss out on potential customers in the mobile-gaming market, Sony today unveiled PlayStation Suite, a cross-platform software framework that will allow those with Android tablets and smartphones to enjoy PlayStation content.
Though Android phones obviously all have the same OS, Sony will be catering for the fact that they are all made by different companies by starting a "PlayStation Certified" license program for hardware manufacturers. Through this program, Sony will offer support (including development support and logo licensing) to ensure some uniformity across the various Android devices.
Sony said it plans to provide PS Suite content within this calendar year, starting with original PSOne classic titles. The company said it also plans to open a PlayStation Store allowing users to download content directly to their phone or tablet and acting as a platform for developer-created content.
The PSP2, or NGP, will also be fully compatible with PlayStation Suite.
joytech22I would think their second move would be to port some of their best PSP games to Android like the GTA series, most of us Android users own phones with enough juice to run these games, 600MHz compared to the PSP's 333MHz CPU, and every Android phone out there has at least 128MB of RAM and a GPU (not sure about Every Android phone and a GPU).
I guess it would be hard to play on a phone that has only one hardware button (us galaxy s users)
Sony should have actually just left the hardware in the PS3 to run PS2 games. Emulator would be fine, but I think they lost sales doing what they did.
Simple11JFBY, member how much the origianal PS3 cost? I for one didn't mind spending that much on it, hell I would have paid a grand for what you got with it. But with the fat boys, most of the heat came from the hardware to play PS/2 games. To cut costs, the emulation was taken out (a long with the 2 extra USB ports and SD card slots) plus this allowed to put up classic games for sale on the PSN to still generate some revenue. So really there was no loss in sales, plus it wasn't until later that PS3 sales skyrocketed at the smaller price.
ericburnbyI said way back that mobile phones would become very popular as portable gaming systems, especially the iPhone/iPod/iPad since they have such a huge market share.
Every on Tom;s said it would never take off. Even Sony made their Marcus ads poking fun at playing games on a phone. Remember the line "that's for calling your grandma"?
Now Sony is entering the phone gaming market? And we've seen some good recent titles for the iPhone (like Rage).
Seems like my predictions were right all along.
Here's a cookie... now run along and let the grown ups chat.
So it's proof that the hardware is capable of running the software, so there's incentive for Sony to offer the same legally.

Do animals pay a price for fame?
Consider the case of young Winter, the internationally known dolphin who lost her flukes (tail) after a crab-trap accident and was outfitted with a prosthetic tail at Florida's Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA). Hollywood couldn't resist her saga, turning it into the popular movie Dolphin Tale, and the upcoming sequel, Dolphin Tale II.
But as a glamorous film star, little Winter has led a rather rough life. After the ordeal of her entrapment, in 2005, she was taken to CMA for recovery. Deemed "unfit" for return to the ocean, Winter's fate was sealed: She would spend the rest of her life in a small tank surrounded by gawking tourists and blaring music.
Now, new videos posted on YouTube show Winter appearing to cower in a corner of her tank, looking stressed, nervous, or frightened, "sitting" on her amputated peduncle. She appears to be next to a door to another tank, as if she wants out. Tourists can be heard talking about how "cute" it is that she is "resting," and what a great shot they can get of her deformity.
After Dolphin Tale was released, in 2011, Winter became one of those overnight sensations that periodically sweep the culture. Families flocked to CMA to see the celebrated cetacean and revenues exploded, especially the following year. In 2012, CMA attracted more than 750,000 visitors, a stunning increase over 2011, when some 200,000 people visited.
Winter, to be blunt, is a cash cow for CMA. Aquarium officials did not respond to emails seeking answers to several questions, including the cost of Winter's rehabilitation, and whether CMA had recouped those expenses through ticket sales, film-rights, licensing fees and merchandise such as a dolphin plush toy with removable tail ($22.95).
These days, it seems, it's all about Winter.
"It all began with Winter!…The most famous dolphin in the world!" beams the aquarium's website, which is, yes, www.seewinter.com. "Come and visit Winter…she may have lost her tail, but she'll capture your heart!" There is even a "Winter's Dolphin Tale Adventure" in Clearwater, a "fun and educational exhibit (that) will take you inside the movie," including "re-built scenes, movie images, and a variety of actual props used in Dolphin Tale."
CMA, now that it nearly quadrupled attendance in one year, is not done. The aquarium is undertaking an ambitious, $14.5 million expansion, including construction of a new facility in downtown Clearwater that, "Will allow us to accommodate another 250,000 visitors a year to our marine rescue center, added to the 750,000 who visited in 2012," the website says. The 200,000-square-foot building will be "the primary tourism and education components of CMA's mission, including resident animals such as Winter."
And that's what really rankles anti-captivity activists. The primary component of CMA's mission, they point out, should neither be tourism nor even education. It should be rehabilitation.
"We are a unique facility, specializing in the rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick or injured marine animals," the website says, underscoring CMA's original purpose, one that critics say has been corrupted into a profit-driven business blinded by dollar signs. "All the animals that come through our doors arrive because they were suffering from an illness or severe injury in the wild," the website explains. If the rescued animal is "unable to be released back into the wild, it becomes a permanent member of the CMA family, and lives here to serve as an ambassador for their species."
Gigi Glendinning, who runs the Philadelphia-based humane education group, 22 Reasons, says CMA "sold out, and sold out quickly. They have moved far away from their main mission." It had been "a rundown facility desperate for money," before Winter became famous, she says. "Now it's just about more revenue for them. They even make Winter do paintings, which they sell for $79.00. Dolphins don't want to paint, they want to chase fish in the ocean. This is pure exploitation. Are they so desperate for dollars that they need to insult Winter's intelligence? I know for sure they are underestimating ours."
Glendenning found the YouTube videos disturbing. "There was nowhere for her to go, they don't want to give the dolphins places to hide, because then guests wouldn't be able to always see them." Most sanctuaries, she notes, "aren't even open to the public, and they manage to raise funds to support the animals. The few that are open, provide dens and hideouts, and you don't see the animals if they choose to be hidden."
Dr. Lori Marino, of The Kimmela Center for Animal Advocacy, calls the videos, "Really pathetic. She is clearly cowering in the corner trying to get away from the crowds. On the first video you can hear the person off-camera say that she looks sad! It was that obvious. If the main pool were open, I'm sure she would move into it to get away from the noise and commotion."
While not sure of the significance of Winter sitting on her tail, "other than to prop herself up," Marino is certain that, "the most important aspect of this video is that she is trying to get away and has no escape. That must be tremendously stressful."
So what should happen to Winter? Of course she could not be released in the open ocean, critics acknowledge, but she could live out her life (some bottlenose live up to 50 years) in the tranquil comfort of a netted-off seapen, perhaps near Clearwater, where dolphins rescued by CMA, but not suitable for release, could live as close to nature as possible. CMA could still charge visitors to view the dolphins, (at a quiet, respectful distance), who would no longer have to perform to blasting music. For Winter, it would be a vast improvement over spending her life in an aquarium downtown, critics say, like some side-show attraction, no matter how beloved.
"CMA could've done this the right way, with a seapen, and still made money," Glendinning says. "They underestimate the compassion of the general public to support their efforts without making Winter paint, swim with people, or listen to music."
Glendinning recently visited The Animal Sanctuary, outside Denver, "where you learn a lot about exotic animals, without putting them on special display, and without invading their territory." The sanctuary has a one-mile-long platform 42 feet in the air. You need binoculars, but the animals barely know you are there. The average enclosure is 20 acres, thousands of times bigger than Winter's tank.
Dophin Tale reminds one of another hit film, Free Willy, in which the title character returns to his home in the sea. It moved fans so much that a successful campaign was launched to retire the orca who played Willy, Keiko, to a seapen in Iceland.
"Choosing to romanticize the connection between the boy and Winter, entices and encourages people to swim with dolphins," Glendinning says of Dolphin Tale, "something that has proven to be a bad idea for both parties, and directly undermines CMA's mission."
At the end of Dolphin Tale, Winter goes for a swim in the bay, though it's clear she will not be released. This poor, traumatized actor-animal has arguably generated millions of dollars in revenue for CMA, and grossed another $95 million in movie-ticket sales. Doesn't she, as well as her rescued dolphin companions, deserve a nice, early retirement in the sea?

I have an old Dayton 1/3 HP 1725 RPM capacitor start 120V motor that I am trying to put into use as a bench grinder/buffer.
I would like to be able to control the speed of the motor through use of a rheostat without significant loss of power.
I had thought about using a ceiling fan speed control, but I don't think those motors are usually capacitor start
Can any of you motor experts out there tell me if this is possible; and if so, what kind of rheostat (or other device) I should use?
BTW, thanks to those who helped me with the starting problem on this motor. It was a loose capacitor connection.

Prescription and Illicit Drug Abuse
Frequently Asked Questions
4. How is addiction to illicit drugs different from addiction to prescription medication?
Addiction is the compulsive seeking and use of a drug despite known harmful consequences. The behaviors brought on by addiction are often the same regardless of what drug a person is addicted to, legal or illegal. In fact, some prescription medications act the same way in the brain as illegal drugs. For example, both heroin and many prescription painkillers activate opiate receptors in the brain.

Skull Cake
3D skull cake made from the Ultimate Yellow Cake recipe, with vanilla buttercream, and MMF to decorate. I carved out a cavity in the skull area to put a nice big glob of strawberry jam for its brains. It oozed out really nice when it got cut. I also crumbled homemade chocolate cookies for the dirt and laid out candy corn to say Happy Halloween.

She stuck to the same story as last year, wanting to be a bunny vet when she grows up. She's still obsessed with them. They're a few of them that hang out in our front flower beds. We've told her that if she can catch one, it's hers. We thought that would get us out of doing the pet bunny thing. We might be eating those words because this girl got too close once.
I don't think I ever realized how much the kids look a like until I saw the above picture of Izzy in Preschool compared to the one below of Sam. Wow.
Sam has also stuck to the same answer when asked what he wants to be when he grows up. It just got a lot more descriptive and grown up. Last year it was simply, "Drive trains"! He is becoming his own little man and knows what he wants. Just like how he knew he didn't want to wear the cool outfit mommy sat out for his first day of school. "No. I don't want to wear THOSE. I want to wear these shorts and this little shirt." My days of getting him in a button up shirt for church are even over.
I think we all got tired of not having a routine during summer. Doesn't help when it's too hot to play outside or hit up the pool. They are both so happy to be back and hanging out with their buddies.
So, last week it was just Sam and I and we popped into Homegoods. I'm usually really good about having the strength to leave empty handed. Not this time. This time I spotted a huge round wooden mirror. Exactly what I have been wanting for years for the dining room. I did the casual saunter over as to not attract attention all while screaming with excitement in my head and evil eyeing anyone who might possibly be interested in the mirror. $150. Deal!!! Not a sales person was in sight and I didn't want to risk walking away to find help only to return and have it be gone. So, I lugged that beast behind me like a dead body while pushing Sam in the cart. Two steps forward, drag. Two steps forward, drag. You do what you have to for a good find.
I got it home and started worrying it wasn't going to work. My concern was that it was a different wood tone from the table. Then there's the gray painted chairs, black piano, and dark brown floors. Not that I think everything should match, but I was worried there was too much going on.
How my mind works: Toss (not the best word to use given how heavy it was) it up in the packaging to see if it's even an option.
Obviously I can't tell from this, so I've got to take it out of the packaging. Back is starting to hurt.
The dark drapes are now killing me. Despite this room having large windows and high ceilings, it's sooooo dark. Charcoal drapes have to go. I put up one panel from the kitchen to see what it would look like. This was the photo I posted to Instagram asking for your help in deciding if it was a keeper.
You all are enablers. I ended up keeping it and decided on white curtains. I may have ten different wood shades going on it here, but oh well. The mirror is now hung, the old drapes are down, and I'm feeling better about this.
But still praying this mirror doesn't fall off the wall despite the overkill wall anchoring. It is no joke heavy.
I'll take some good pictures of the space when I get the
sheets curtains hung. Click here to see what I mean about the sheets. I'm doing the same thing in here.
P.S. If you're looking for this mirror and can't find it at your Homegoods, I found the same one at CB2, here!

la posizione no hall , no bar
The staff were helpful, and the room was neat, tidy and clean. The restaurant had good food although a bit pricey.
Location is good. Not far from the train station and not far from St. Lourdes.
Very close to TGV train station in Lourdes. Beautiful exterior facade in historic old building. Well maintained and very clean. Small, poorly decorated rooms with uncomfortable beds. Long walk to Lourdes Grotto and not close to any decent restaurants.
The staff. Dog friendly. Small overpriced rooms
Cleanliness of rooms and staff were so friendly and helpful. Food very good. Hotel directly across from Train Station for ease of travel. No.
Our second time staying at Best Western Lourdes especially for comfort and parking and convenience to the Grotto.
Prime location, across the street from the train station and very close to Lourdes Grotto. We took the TGV from Barcelona and had two transfers. Lovely staff. Excellent buffet breakfast. Lourdes is heavenly and one of the highlights of our 14-day European trip.
close to the train station,front desk is open late and the staff are very helpfull.nice view nothing
Nice bathroom. Being able to sit on the terrace to have a drink, nice view Yes, the food, it was too international and not very well cooked or presented. We were 'lumped together' with a large coach party despite being independant. It would have been nice to have eaten in the other dining room, but it appearaed closed, although I did not ask.
View fom the room As i work in the hotel business myself i was appalled to see that there was no night porter on duty during the night. I came back from being out at 2am in the morning went to my room to open the door keycard wouldn t work. I had to sleep in the lobby on one of the couches for 4 and a half hours before reception staff came in to do me a key for my room. I was so annoyed. I asked for a reduction in the rate so that was agreed on my last night. If there was a fire in the hotel i dread to think what would happen as there is no night porter on at night in the hotel.
Only the fact that it's close to the train station.We have booked a triple w/ 1 extra bed as stated per hotel policies & wrote this in the remarks section & asked for confirmation (2 adults & 2 kids), but nor Booking.com nor the hotel manager have read the comment or took it into consideration, so upon arrival & after a long journey from Paris, the assistant manager told us that they can't put extra bed in a triple room so we have to manage or they give us a bigger room for extra money which we didn't accept because the rooms do not match w/ the price (overpriced, extremely small versus other hotels in the area)+ it was not a decent solution at all,they should have replied to our comment for the bed before arrival so we decide on our budget & Not having a surprise.After long argument & keeping the kids tired waiting for more than 1 hour, we asked to talk to manager, she (assistant) told us he's not there.After insisting,he showed up & again argued & end up by suggesting a smoking room which was full of cigarette smoke & you can hardly breathe (very healthy for kids)Of course we didn't accept. We asked to go to other hotel but said they will take anyway the price for the room even if we don't stay.They had empty family rooms not stated in the site which we saw but wanted us to pay more money than confirmed upon booking.FINALLY, They gave us a room w/ 5 beds which we didn't need,on the roof, that was worth a 1 * HOTEL:shower on your knee so u don't hit your head w/ the ceiling,
The Restaurant Family room are very small and not comfortable at all
The lovely staff, patio dining and pool. I was a bit disappointed with the quality and decor of the bedroom, yet the bathroom was fine.
The reception was late open, that was imported for us because we came late bij TGV out of Paris.
very friendly staff, had some problems with the car, they helped us much
The extremely warm reception we received throughout our stay.For the price and hotel category the value for money was unbeatable and we will certainlly recommend to others and will return each year. Nothing of any importance.
easily accessible for town. FAirly old fashioned but ok accomodation. Parking very tight behind the hotel -but at least there was parking!
the hotel was close to the Railway station which was good as we had an early train out of Lourdes. the hotel served adequate meals. The hotel closed at midnight, which we did not expect, so no late trips to the sanctuaries as we had to rush back before midnight. The hotel bath tub has no shower curtain all the water spilled on to the floor while taking a bath, made the bath all wet. The room had only one plug point so we could either watch Tv or charge our cell phones camera etc.
Friendly English speaking staff The breakfast was hardly a breakfast.
Value for money, proximity to the Lourdes Shrine None
I like the location and a frinedly staff, but the room is stuffy.
The room very very small and was not clean
Just the fact that it is just a few minutes away from the Sanctuaries and restaurants are near. It was stinking in the bathroom the first time we entered, and stayed that way until we left! i cant say it was clean anywhere, even the stairway. it was only the lobby that was bright enough to see! carpets are dirty, room was dark. never to stay here again and not to be recommended.
Great hotel staff...very friendly and the service was first class.
The room had a big balcony facing the main road , wonderful to sit and sip wine and watch the world go by. Excellent location.
Convenient. Visit the Grotto in a short distance. Right in the center of shopping area.
Its location which is only a walking distance to the Sanctuary & in the main street (for shopping) Room size and comfortability (too small)
The sheets and towels were clean. It was very close to the grotto which was convenient as we had gone to visit the shrine at Lourdes It was very noisy.
The hotel staff is very friendly even though their English is very limited. The man at the reception was so kind to even dial the phone to return the call of my sister in the United States who called very early in the morning while I was still asleep. The hotel is also a near walking distance to the train station. The bath towels are small...just a bit bigger than hand towels.
Hotel is simple, but the staff was very nice and helpful, and tried to do there very best for us. And they do speak english to. Free Internet connection.
breakfasts; location close to the station; quiet; bathrooms (to all rooms) no tvs in rooms
Good price, clean room, hot water... not a bad deal for staying for just one night... but don't have much expectation on the facilities, it's pretty much like a dorm room. The location is very difficult to find as it's deviated from the main street, even local people can't tell the whereabout of the hotel. Don't recommend to arrive late at night like us.
Staff was very friendly. Rooms were simple but clean.
in town centre. room condition not clean. desk top smelly. furnishing very old.
The street numbers are ridiculous. they are not consecutive. We had a difficult time finding this hotel.
We had a trouble using the door locks. Thus, you will have a feeling that you are not safe and secure. Also, on the website, it indicated free WiFi. Apparently, there is no WiFi. You will be given a wired gadget that does not even work.
The price is very affordable and reasonable. Elizabet who greeted us and checking us in is also very nice. The bed and the key to the room look old/run down.
The shower Not even basic amenities such as kettle or beside lamp provided. Cheaper hotel next door looked far nicer. Staff unpleasant and made us look through a rubbish bin for our booking sheet. Matress less than 1 inch thick.
It was like a pigeon hole-hardly any room to move. it just about served as a roof over the head. the breakfast provided was not cooked.
Very pleasant staff and helpfulness. Will be stay9ng again next year.
assistance of M.Canton-the owner. breakfast is too little
The gentleman host was charming and very kind and it was an excellent location to the holy sites of Lourdes and excellent value for money.
I cannot say enough about La Fontaine. Very impressed. Recommend it highly. The hotel was spotless. Staff were friendly and helpful. M. Cantin could not do enough for me. He booked a tour and sorted out problems with it. He had suggestions on sites to go, maps, directions... just incredible. Upon seeing his rates for demi-pension, I switched to eating there for two days. I could not eat at a restaurant for that price. The food was wonderful. At breakfast I got a one litre carafe of chocolate, and super-size croissants. Lunch and supper were three courses and far more than I could ever eat. If there is availability here you do not need to look further for a great hotel Not really. The beds might have been a little lumpy, but what do you expect for that price? I expected alot less than what I got!!!!
The way the hotel received us was fantastic will recomend and will for sure stay again when i plan my next visit stayed only couple of hours , so didnot notice much
Mr. Canton was very helpful.
Well positioned in the town for the station, town itself and for religious services at grotto.
Nice Owners and helpful. Pleasant staff, also. I found a gem. When I come back to Lourdes, I'll stay here.
It was clean ,comfortable and near to Grotto, and railway station, Staff very friendly and efficient. no
The dining room was pleasant Bathroom was rather basic and you had to hold the shower as no wall hook. We would have liked to have eaten in their restaurant, but could not as they said you had to book in advance even though the restaurant was not full.
It is the hotel's location. Easy access to the city's main attraction which is the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes and the bus/train station's five minute walk. The staff was very helpful. Nothing
Value for money, and warm welcome
Staff are very helpful and courteous. especially nite staff. I feel bad idid not give tips for house keeping and day stafff, I was excitted that finally the airport open and I forgot. I wished its closed to the airfprt, I could stay there or recomend. Too far from the airfort, I have to pay 65.00 euro for one way.the face in the bad room tiles is scary. I tried to ignore while im showering. my friends complained that too.i used the phone to call airline bec.if its open, iwas charged 3x. airline put me on hold too long, its not my choice
It is iedally located and clean. elevator, heater
Location was good Staff were unfriendly and disinterested
the hotel was central for everything.
The price. 69 Euros covered room, a breakfast for 2, and parking (reserve the parking--that part of Lourdes is a parking nightmare). It's quiet and away from the streets that are filled with pilgrims buying trinkets. It's about 1.2K from the action, so walkable.There's a laundramat about 400 meters away at 55 Rue de Bourg. Wi-Fi is free. For the price, do not expect a large room or fancy fixtures. Also, only one electrical outlet outside the bathroom. I would recommend it only if you are looking for an inexpensive place to stay.

I'm confused as to why these are still being sold. They seem to have serious range issues (I've observed 2-4 ft. range as have many others) and use the old nRF2401A. A small note mentioning that most people would probably want to go with the newer nrf24L01+ breakout would be nice! Also, why do they cost more than the nrf24L01+ when that's a better, newer chip?
No public wish lists :(

Submitted to: Cereal Chemistry
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/1/1997
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Corn germ separation is an essential step in recovering corn oil. This separation is currently only carried out by wet milling plants. In wet milling the first step is to soak the corn in a weak sulfur dioxide solution to weaken the corn structures, allowing fractionation of its components. Since oil is a valuable corn component it must be included in newly developed fractionation processes. This article describes the use o a process to separate the germ from the rest of the corn that has been ground and sieved to a size suitable for protein extraction. The milled corn is then mixed with an aqueous solution of specific gravity equal to the germ and pumped to a hydrocyclone. In the hydrocyclone the particles with low inertia, that is, the lighter particles which includes the germ- rich particles, leave suspended in the overflow. The rest of the corn particles are driven by centrifugal force to the hydrocyclone underflow. Improving the zein market value by developing a practical extraction process will reduce the overall cost of producing ethanol from corn and provide supplies of zein for new products. Zein has potential uses as a coating, fiber or sheet-forming material, and it was once used in all of these forms.
Technical Abstract: Corn milled <1 mm using a screen mill was sieved and the particles > 590 microns were soaked for an hour in solutions with a range of glucose concentration providing liquid specific gravities above and below that of the lighter fraction (corn germ). A suspension of these particles was pumped through a hydrocyclone to separate the germ particles and to rinse water soluble compounds from the corn. The specific gravity of the hydrocyclone streams (suspensions) as well as liquid phase, after solids settling, was measured and product compositions and particle sizes were determined. This work shows that a germ-enriched fraction of corn ground < 1 mm, can be separated with a hydrocyclone. To enable computer simulation of the corn treatment process, the experimental data was used to construct a two component model of the hydrocyclone separation of the milled corn. In the model, the milled and sieved corn is virtually separated into germ and endosperm streams which are fed to paired hydrocyclone models. Hydrocyclone bypassing streams which simulate particles entrained to the contrary outlet (underflow for germ and overflow for endosperm particles) were included in the simulation to bring the model into agreement with the experimental product compositions.

Hampton outlasts Keystone Oaks to advance in WPIAL playoffs
Hampton pitcher Ben Vey quickly understood Keystone Oaks' make-him-throw-strikes strategy when the first batter walked on four pitches.
His team had the same plan.
"I knew it was going to be a pitchers' battle," said Vey, who scattered six hits and struck out 10 for Hampton in a 4-1 first-round victory Monday afternoon in the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs. "That's really the thing with anyone. Make them throw strikes."
At times, Keystone Oaks' Taylor Lehman had trouble with Hampton's patience.
The left-handed Penn State recruit threw three pitches past his catcher in a tough second inning, when No. 3 seed Hampton (12-7) scored three of its four runs.
With Hampton forcing long at bats, Lehman threw 35 pitches in the second. Hampton's Tyler Merigliano reached base after a six-pitch at-bat. Charlie Winek reached after eight.
"There were some great at bats," Hampton coach Gary Wilson said. "We've talked about that all year. You just hope it happens. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. But tonight, we had quite a few of those."
Lehman allowed four hits and struck out seven but also walked six in six innings.
"You've got to make him throw pitches and tire him out," said Vey, who also called Lehman a "fantastic pitcher."
No. 14 Keystone Oaks (9-8) tried the same with Vey. After two innings, Vey had thrown 39 pitches. But he also had four strikeouts.
"They had a lot of patience," Vey said. "They made me throw a lot of pitches. I finished with 118. That's my second-highest this year. They have a good eye."
In a game that started with a two-hour rain delay, patience was key. Hampton will face Thomas Jefferson or Knoch in the WPIAL quarterfinals.
For Hampton, the win eased memories from last season's first-round exit. The Talbots were seeded No. 3 then as well.
"Every day you've got to play like your last, and we didn't do that last year," Vey said.
A leadoff bunt single by Zach Staszak started Hampton's three-run second inning. A one-out double to left by Merigliano scored Staszak. Merigliano scored when Winek reached base after an infield error. Winek stole second and third, and then scored on a wild pitch to lead 3-0.
Hampton added another run in the fourth when Luke Nugent walked and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Staszak.
Keystone Oaks scored its only run in the fourth. Kevin Tunney singled, reached third on Ryan Roell's double and scored when Vey's pickoff throw reached center field.
