At 16 years old, Jack Andraka is already a superstar in the field of science. Earlier this year, he won Intel's prestigious Gordon E. Moore Award, when he created a groundbreaking testing method that can detect pancreatic cancer in its earliest stages. His work is expected to save thousands of lives.
And in the few short months since then, Andraka has already begun work on his next invention—a handheld device that he hopes will have the ability to scan the human body, read vital signs and detect any disease instantly.
While it sounds straight off the set of Star Trek, Andraka's tricorder is part of a global science competition started by the XPRIZE foundation. The challenge is to create a mobile device that can diagnose 15 diseases across 30 patients, and at stake is a $10 million prize.
But on this project, Andraka isn't working alone. He teamed up with two other Intel finalists to create what they call "Generation Z." So far, they're the only team made up entirely of kids. Despite being up against other teams like the one from Scanadu—a startup based in the NASA Ames Rsearch Center—Andraka is looking forward to exploring the challenge with kids his own age.
"I really enjoy big challenges and figured that it would be fun to collaborate with a group of teens to work on this prize," he tells TakePart. "I meet such interesting teens at science competitions, and so we are going to work on this problem together. We may not succeed, but we are going to learn a lot and also learn how to work better in a team on a big project. Hopefully, we will be able to be productive and move the idea forward."
And to drive home just how young this scientist is, the end date for the tricorder challenge is in 2015—the same year Andraka will graduate from high school.
But that's hardly the extent of this student's work. He's also begun to develop a new spectrometer, which is in its very early stages, and he's involved in the lengthy process of making his pancreatic cancer test widely available. While his end-game is to bring that test to drugstore shelves, the teen has learned that's easier said than done.
"When I first created it I was only 15, so I didn't understand how long it takes to get to widespread use," he says. "I figured it would take a few months. Of course I've learned a lot since then...It needs to be made uniformly and more quickly and also needs to go through clinical testing."
Andraka may be a standout in his field, but he believes that more kids would be excited about the subject if adults who were trying to spur their interest took a different approach.
"Kids are naturally curious and creative. They have wild ideas, and if encouraged, they can be creative. And as they learn more, they can start using that energy and optimism and creativity to solve major problems in their communities," Andraka tells TakePart.
He says that kids his age would be more excited about the subject if they were lectured less and given more hands-on time to solve scientific problems.
"Instead of labeling kids with IQ ratings, tell them that creativity, persistence and resilience are more important qualities," Andraka adds.
No matter how extraordinary his intellectual pursuits may be, what remains most impressive about Jack Andraka is that what he creates continuously serves a purpose far greater than his own.
How would you like to see science approached differently so that more kids were actively involved in it? Let us know in the Comments.

Chemists at Bar-Ilan University in Israel say they have developed and successfully tested "killer paper" coated with silver nanoparticles--each roughly 1/50,000 the width of a human hair--that can fight bacteria such as E. coli and S. aureus.
Described in the American Chemical Society journal Langmuir, researcher Aharon Gedanken tells me that while colloidal silver is already widely used as an antimicrobial agent, what's new about his team's research is the process by which silver nanoparticles are deposited onto paper to develop antimicrobial properties.
The team was able to control both the thickness of the silver coating and particle size while using ultrasonication to attach the nanoparticles to the paper; because the coatings are highly stable and anchored so strongly to the surface, they are long-lasting.
This is a very good innovation. I hope this will not have a dis advantage of affecting the biodegradation of the paper especially in refuse dumps.

About us
"Misunderstood Titles: Stories about Censorship in the Old Pueblo" (exhibit)
Dates: September 24, 2012 - December 14, 2012
Location: Main Library
Contact: Erica DeFrain | Cindy Elliott
Celebrate the 30th anniversary of your freedom to read at the University Libraries during Banned Books Week, Sep. 30 – Oct. 6, 2012! Observed since 1982, Banned Books Week is an annual event promoted by the American Library Association that serves to celebrate the freedom to read and to remind Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted.
During Banned Books Week 2012, the University Libraries are hosting a number of free events exploring censorship issues in Tucson. All are invited to join the discussion on challenging censorship and celebrating our freedom to read.
"Misunderstood Titles: Stories about Censorship in the Old Pueblo" (exhibit)
What are some of the most frequently challenged books? Why was a book challenged? What groups led the challenge? All of these issues and more are explored in the Banned Books exhibit at the UA Main Library, 1510 E. University Blvd., on display from Sept. 24 – Dec. 14, 2012. UPDATE: This exhibit has ended.
The exhibit, "Misunderstood Titles: Stories about Censorship in the Old Pueblo," highlights 100 books across five areas – classic literature, children's books, best-selling novels, most challenged titles, and Mexican-American literature – that collectively explore the history of banned or challenged books. The exhibit also brings a local focus to the challenged book discussion by exploring recent debates regarding ethnic studies education in Arizona.
Misunderstood Titles: Related Lectures
Two lectures accompany the exhibit and offer an opportunity for community discussion about the local and national implications of censorship. Both lectures will be held in the UA Main Library, room a313, 1510 E. University Blvd.
Lecture I: On Wednesday, Oct. 3 from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. a panel of local educators and scholars will lead a community talk, "Misunderstood Titles: A Panel Discussion about Censorship in the Old Pueblo." Among the speakers are:
-Bob Diaz, Associate Librarian, UA Special Collections
-Kay Mathiesen, Assistant Professor, UA School of Information Resources & Library Science
-Patricia M. Overall, Associate Professor, UA School of Information Resources & Library Science
-Roberto Rodriguez, Assistant Professor, UA Department of Mexican American Studies
Lecture II: On Thursday, Oct. 4 from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Robert A. Williams, Jr., E. Thomas Sullivan Professor of Law and American Indian Studies at the UA Rogers College of Law, will speak about his most recent book, Savage Anxieties: The Invention of Western Civilization. A book sale and signing follow the talk.
The exhibit and accompanying lectures were coordinated by the University Libraries with support from Bookmans Entertainment Exchange and the Tucson chapter of REFORMA, an association that promotes library and information services to Latinos and the Spanish speaking.

L1 Outerwear Fit...???
L1 outerwear looks so STEEZY!!! Its definitely the look and style I want on the hill.
I am planning to get a new pant and jacket for this season. I have never bought or tried L1 but am looking to change that. Unfortunately...from the pictures...it looks like L1 was made/tailored for taller, skinnier framed guys (in my eyes at least).
I am 5'5" and 155LB. I am a little on the stocky side. I am NOT "fat" by any means if you were to meet me. I am just big boned/framed and have a little bit of a love handle.
Any shorter/stockier guys out there rocking L1...??? If so...what's the fit like for you...???
I am looking for some feedback from anyone with L1 outerwear experience no matter what height/size you are.

What Is Gemini Dogs?
Established in 1991, Gemini Dogs is one of the most well-respected and well-known dog centers in New England and is one of the largest dog care facilities in Massachusetts. We provide outstanding dog training, doggie daycare, overnight boarding, and grooming for dogs of all shapes and sizes.
Effective Training through Education and Positive Reinforcement
At Gemini Dogs, we emphasize the fun and love in everything we do by teaching positive reinforcement through clicker training.

Gemini Dogs offers doggie daycare and overnight boarding and can accommodate over 75 dogs in our climate-controlled daycare nap room. Our securely-fenced outdoor play area gives our guests plenty of room to stretch their legs, play, and make new friends during each visit.
Moms and Dads love us because there is always a staff member watching over their babies day and night, twenty-four hours a day. In fact, our overnight staff sleeps in the next room over -- not many other kennels can say that!

Wednesday October 23rd
7:00 pm
Florida Southern College, Branscomb 201
A panel of law enforcement officers who also enjoying riding bicycles in their free time will talk about the Florida laws as they pertain to bicyclists. Topics will include:
• Come join your fellow bicyclist to hear the answers to such questions as "What does "3 feet to pass" mean?
• Do I really need to come to a full and complete stop at a intersection if no one else is around?
• What happens if there are no sensors to pick up a bicycle at a stop light? Do I have to wait until a car comes to activate the light?
The panel will take questions from the audience.
LAKELAND, FL (September 26, 2013) -- Starting in October downtown Lakeland will soon see a new type of metering system in the parking lot at Munn Park and Lot D located at 200 N. Kentucky Avenue. The pay by space meters are solar powered and they make paying for parking more convenient than ever. The new pay by space meters accept nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar bills but they also accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover credit and debit cards.
The pay by space meters are now installed. However, they won't go live until the morning of October 7th and during the first week of operation, warning citations will be issued to those that receive violations in the two pay by space lots. Enforcement will begin October 14th. It must be noted that traditional coin operated meters located in other parking lots will continue to be enforced during the one week grace period. The grace period only pertains to the pay by space systems located at Munn Park lot and Lot D.
At each pay by space meter location there are "Pay Here" signs that direct patrons where to pay for their parking. When using the pay by space meter, a visitor needs to enter the assigned parking space number into the meter along with the method of payment.
Pay Here Meter Directions
1. Park your vehicle and note the number located at the rear of each parking space
2. Proceed to Pay by Space meter
3. Pay for desired time (coin, cash, credit/debit)
4. Note expiration time limit, once total desired time is paid
5. To extend your parking time, go to the pay by space machine
6. Enter your parking space number and choose the "Add Time" option
7. Select the additional amount of time needed and pay
8. Note expiration time limit, once total desired time is paid
LAKELAND, FL (September 20, 2013) -- Come to Munn Park on Saturday, October 26, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. for the 29th Annual Munn Park Extravaganza gardening show presented by the Garden Club of Lakeland, Inc.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase. For more information call the Garden Club of Lakeland at 863-370-4065.
On Wednesday, September 4, 2013 long time veteran of the Lakeland Fire Department (LFD), Wayne Epperson, was promoted to the officer position of Battalion Chief.
Wayne began his career with the LFD in 1985 and served as a firefighter, fire instructor, driver-engineer, and lieutenant, having held the latter position for 17 years. Speakers at the ceremony including Fire Chief Gary Ballard, Assistant Chief Rick Hartzog, Bat. Chief Mike Williams, and Bat. Chief Jeff Wharton all concurred that Bat. Chief Epperson is one of the most honest, dedicated, and deserving individuals they know within the organization. Wayne has been heavily involved with training efforts throughout his career and through his many years of experience and leadership will undoubtedly further elevate the position.
A big congratulations to Wayne Epperson and sincere thanks to him for the many years of dedicated service he has provided the people of Lakeland.

I like Google a lot. I couldn't live without it. Heck, I even found a way to find flu vaccines on it the other day. But, that doesn't mean I trust its results unconditionally. That's a good thing. Cyber security research firm, Cyveillance has discovered that more than 200,000 Web sites have been infected with a new way to deliver malware via Google search results.
According to Cyveillance, here's how it works. First a blog site is compromised. Often these are sites using out of date versions of the popular online photo gallery software Coppermine. For the most part, these are real, but neglected, blogs who users are no longer keeping them up or they'd notice something fishy was going on.
Once compromised these blogs start automatically publishing bogus posts. These posts are crudely SEOed (search engine optimized) images with minimal text. It's not the page's content that's compromised though. It's the blog's templates that frame the images. Google then, in good faith, indexes these pages for you to find them.
When you visit the site, from a Google search result, you're quickly redirected to a fake anti-virus software drop sites. There, if you have a Windows system that doesn't have current anti-virus protection installed, the rogue site will try to install a fake security program, Inst_58s6.exe. It does this by telling you that you have a virus infection and you must install this program to be safe. We've seen this kind of scareware pop up before even on sites as well-known as the New York Times.
What I find especially interesting about this nasty little program is that if you were go straight to the site's page, say by copying the URL into the browser, you won't end up at the bogus site. Instead, you'll go to the fake, but not-infected, Web page. It does this by checking your HTTP referrer. The referrer is used to determine exactly how it is that you got to the page. If you're not coming there by way of Google--or from some other search engines such as AltaVista, Baidu, or Yahoo--it lets you go through without being redirected.
Of course, the only person who's likely to do that is the Webmaster trying to figure out what's wrong with his or her site. Unless, they're being careful about how checking up on their site, they'll never figure it out.
Why would someone go to all this trouble to infect hundreds of thousands of sites to deliver such a sad little package of malware? Well, you see it's not that much trouble. A program searches for sites without up-to-date software, infects them, and then they start automatically starts generating the bogus pages on their own.
The botnet masters just needs to keep creating new sites to hold the malicious payload as needed, and then, after they infect enough Windows PCs, they can use the compromised computers for nastier purposes starting with spreading more malware and eventually stealing valuable financial data from your computer.
The solution, as always, is to keep your anti-virus software up to date, and always keep it on. Never assume that even a totally boring and innocuous Google search is safe. Google tries to mark sites as being suspicious, but in this case, perhaps because the cracked sites themselves just pass you through to the truly malicious site, Google hasn't been able to catch them yet. I have no doubt that Google will get it right. But, in the meantime, keep your defenses up!

Is it an underfeed firepot, with a refractory ledge around the perimeter of the firepot where the clinkers collect for your manual removal??
Exactly. I will get some pictures when I get things cleared out back there. As spring is finally here (although is has snowed twice this week) I am in the middle of moving everything in the shop
No ashpan, as it all fuses together. You learn stove maintenance real quick. Before I had my own business, I was a pipe fitter and worked a lot in coal fired power plants. Got to watch thousands of rounds from the Klinker gun shooting off the sidewalls and roof. Seen one just a little smaller than a volkswagen bug. It was wound up in the steam pipes on the roof. We had already put up 5 layers of scaffold. it wadded them like wet paper. I still have a bunch of the rounds somewhere. I will snap some pics.

Trusted Reviews: Games of the Year - Part One.
As our Andy noted back in November, it has been a fantastic year for games, In fact, it's arguably been the best year ever. However, all that bounty has left us in a dilemma. We originally planned a top ten list for the end of the year, but looking at the long list of titles we've been forced to expand that to twenty - and even then we've had to sacrifice a few of our darlings and lose a couple of still great franchise updates that we felt didn't quite do enough to justify inclusion: Sorry Unreal Tournament III and Sega Rally, apologies Guitar Hero III, Football Manager 2008 and Pro Evo.
Anyway, in true pop charts style we're going to start at the bottom and work our way up to number eleven. Then tomorrow, we'll be back to sock it to you with our Top Ten. Where will your favourites be? If you agree or disagree, have your say through the usual link below.
20. The Darkness
It's been eclipsed by the fantastic run of 3D shooters at the year's end, but in any other annum The Darkness might have been the stand-out FPS. What started out looking like a humdrum gangster caper with tacked-on supernatural elements transformed into the most compelling narrative-driven action game since Half-Life 2: Episode One, with some shocking moments and a structure that encourages you to use a range of demonic powers in cool, creative ways. Once the game hits its rhythm, it delivers a series of great action set-pieces that put you in mind of the best bits of F.E.A.R. The AI was not as strong, but what could be cooler than sucking a bunch of entrenched S.W.A.T. troopers into a tentacle-sprouting black hole?
The gritty visuals and awesome lighting are everything you would expect from the team behind Chronicles of Riddick. Yes, you could pick holes in the game - the urban environments aren't always that well-rounded or convincing, and not everyone liked the slower-moving explorations of a murky WWI-inspired netherworld. Yet the Darkness did something special: it restored at least one TR writer's faith in the power of the genre, and set the stage for the triumphs that were to come.
19. Motorstorm
2007 bought us the best crop of off-road racers since the arrival of Colin McRae 04, WRC3 and RalliSport Challenge 2 in 2004. Colin McRae: DiRT was a departure for the series, but if its embrace of alternative motorsports diluted the core Rally experience, it still had superlative graphics and a great long-term challenge. Sega Rally was a more superficial treat, but its arcade feel and exotic locations gave it a glamour other racers couldn't match.
Yet of the three, it's Sony's Motorstorm that we just keep on coming back to. Evolution's PS3 launch title had superb physics, incredible graphics and all the deformable tracks and churning mud you could ask for, but it was its cliff-edge courses and manic car vs. bike vs. monster truck carnage that made it a petrol-head thriller. And having supported the game with extra courses, vehicles and other online content, Evolution has patched the game's major failing - a lack of long-term staying power. Played on a big screen and with the sound turned up, Motorstorm was the first hint that the PS3 had all the power Sony said it did. For us, it's the most fabulous and ferocious off-road racer of the year.

1980 chevy 3/4 ton trailer brake hookup
ok i got a trailer brake box from a buddy how would i go about how to hook up this brake box in ma truck it already has the trailer hook up in bumper but how would i go about doin this??? :confused:
What type if controler is it....Reese?
You need to go to whoevers controler it is, and get a wiring diagram....I have one for a Reese if thats what it is.
Do you have a 7 pin hook up at the bumper now, or is it just the basic brake, turn, tail lamp hook up? To hook up the brake controller you'll need to hook the brake wire from the box to a relay, and a large (10 guage if I remember correctly) from that to the brake pin in the rear connector.
Like Pocho stated.... you gotta figure out what type you have
You can get the basic four pin trailer hookup using a T-One adapter that plugs into your wiring behind the back bumper.
The four wires are for:
Right Turn
Left Turn
You will probably also have to switch to a heavy duty flasher for the turn signals.
To get the other three pins (including brakes) you need:
Black wire - constant 12 volts to power the trailer or trailer battery
Blue wire - trailer brake activation
Purple wire - backup lights
This site has some useful diagrams. http://www.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx
You still need to figure out what type controller you have...... it's easy to hook up, basicly it's a transmitter that transmits a signal to the other black box that's mounted on the trailer. The box on the trailer applies current to the electro-magnetic brake caliper thingies which in-turn apllies the brakes etc....
I think Newcombecody has disappeared!
I think u r right

In Washington, 3 is Greater than 97
"…and the politicians are so feeble-minded and gutless that you can't even hate them anymore."
– from A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Grey and Hopeless
A recent study from NASA tells us that the loss of a large ice sheet in West Antarctica is imminent and will cause ocean levels to rise. Scientists have been reporting on the instability of the Antarctic since 1968, but to some of those in the press, it's just another message that we can ignore. There's always a difficulty to place any emphasis on something that's so far into the future. It's hard to imagine, so we tend to stop thinking about it at all.
But there's plenty in front of us right now. Sit in a traffic jam on the freeways and witness the routine carbon emissions. Notice that something's off with the weather. After a brutal winter, friends in Illinois bucked up against May snow flurries yesterday. The A's played in chilly Cleveland last night. Tonight will be more of the same. Yeah, yeah, I know. It's just the weather, don't make too much of it. The records show and people remember "the year we didn't have a White Christmas" and the "time that we wore sweatshirts at the Fourth of July parade." We've always had fluctuations. My father, once a weatherman in the military, used to say that if "you don't care for the weather in Chicago, wait a few minutes for it to change."
After the White House's recent release of its national climate assessment, Barrack Obama found some time on his visit with wealthy fundraisers in Silicon Valley to talk about solar energy and push for this and that. It's the kind of thing that plays well out here. We're out ahead on that one and solar energy is mostly a softball for politicians in California. Water policy is the tougher issue. The entire state is in a drought and with the start of summer, there's no reason to look for rain soon.
Some politicians like to use climate change policy to separate themselves from their opponents. As such, they duck from responsible behavior and their due diligence duties. They'll point to the Earth's cycles with temperatures and carbon dioxide and move on. To them, things will work out fine without a unified social policy on energy or carbon emissions. They are not only removed from their responsibilities, but detached from reality.
Ron Johnson, a US Senator from Wisconsin, just comes across as being totally unable to take a serious view of an important issue. He likes to call himself an environmentalist because he likes to fish and get outdoors. We're supposed to accept this as prima facie evidence that he knows what he's talking about. He wants more science before he's willing to support any policies intended to reduce carbon emissions. He's absolutely inept at making a convincing case for his position, whether talking to a local reporter or debating with James Hansen, the the former director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. How this guy was elected to one of the highest offices in the land escapes me.
Marco Rubio, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, has a record of dismissing the scientists who devote their time to the study of the climate and earth. He's now positioned himself as a candidate who denies that we can do much to help slow down climate change. He prefers more of a laissez-faire approach. In a criticism of Obama, he says that since the president is not a meteorologist (you know, a weather forecaster like the folks you see on your local ten o'clock news broadcast) he has no standing to make climate policy recommendations. Obama ran for office on plenty of claims and promises, many of them shamelessly broken, but I don't recall him touting his college science degree or weather forecasting experience. Still, he has the ability and responsibility to lead.
Since Rubio is not a climate scientist, this seems like a situation where an executive and policy maker needs to study the issue as possible and then consult with the experts. Lucky for us, there are a lot of dedicated scientists to turn to. So whose work does Rubio depend upon? We don't know. It seems neither does he. When asked a direct question at his National Press Club presentation about "…what information, reports, studies or otherwise are you relying on to inform and reach your conclusion that human activity is not to blame for climate change..," he dodged the question and chose not to answer.
Johnson and Rubio aren't alone. They have plenty of company. What's behind this obstinacy and resistance from the politicians to accept the science? The usual, it seems. Money and religion. Psychologists could undoubtedly weigh in to tell us more.
Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists believe that we have a role. We're being held up by the politicians and other interests who want us to put the matter into the hands of the three percent who disagree. We'd be a mobilized nation if we applied Dick Cheney's "One Percent Doctrine" to the issue. Washington would define the problem, acknowledge the Earth's historical cycles and then agree that this is the first time that human practices are a factor and can therefore be adjusted. That's not going to happen, so maybe better reporting would do. In a six-year study of the major networks reporting on climate change, Sol Hart, a University of Michigan professor found that most reports were framed by differences between politicians. Further, less than a quarter of the news outlets' reports were presented with "… information about the threat that climate change poses … paired with solutions on what can be done in response…" He believes that this leaves viewers less likely to take political action.
John Oliver has his own recommendation.

It's more of the same, as the experts continued to train in Western Underground Cave and Errac Tierra Dias. Thelandira (f/mus), Adorabelle (f/ele), and Athena (f/fig) reached Expert Lv.8. One ping test during a lag spike this week was 213.0s... I'm getting bored and annoyed at the game.
Adorabelle (f/ele) looted Symbol of Virgo (!) and 2 Symbols of Pisces from 14 Team Arenas. Aquarius is the only missing symbol now. Nothing special came out of Arsene's Circus (again) this week, but Miata (Lv.69 Claire) managed to loot a Symbol of Taurus, after summoning 18 Dios Latemns, 25 Treasure Golems, and 23 Chimeras in the low-level dungeons. Refining 8 Red and 8 Yellow Rough Stones yielded only 1 Spodumeme and 1 GQ Obsidian.
The family finally won the firecracker bid for their first Lightning Gate weapon after a raid in the Silent Maze. I have always liked the look of this great sword, so it's just too bad that its base ATK is kind of lame. Still trying to get a Ice Gate weapon, but the raids seldom happen during my active time. Bleh, I guess that's the problem when you chose to play on a server with a big time zone difference.

Maroon 5 are undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in the pop music field. The five-man group, fronted by Adam Levine, burst onto the scene in 2002 with their debut album Songs About Jane and made an instant impact on the pop landscape. With breakout hits like "Harder to Breathe," "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved," the band rode the album's success to multi-platinum certification in multiple countries and 2.7 million copies sold in the US alone. Their next album, 2007's It Won't Be Soon Before Long, debuted at #1 on the strength of hits like "Makes Me Wonder" and "Wake Up Call." The fivesome had a sound that was distinctly pop but also entirely different than the cookie-cutter pop groups cluttering the marketplace and it helped people flock to them. That was followed by a more soulful album in 2010 with Hands All Over which, although an improvement over their past work, didn't click with audiences and was considered a disappointment. However, the group was instantly revitalized thanks to Levine's mentoring duties on NBC's The Voice which brought them the song "Moves Like Jagger," a collaboration with Levine's fellow Voice coach Christina Aguilera that was an instant success. With more eyes than ever focused on them, the group has returned with their latest album Overexposed in the hopes they can get back on top.
Like many albums, the first track of Overexposed gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect from the rest of it: extremely radio-friendly, hook-based pop music that is somewhat overproduced. That's not to say that the track, "One More Night," is a bad one; far from it. With a reggae tint to the top 40 sound and the fiery opening lyric "You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war," this is actually a very good pop track. Max Martin produced this track and that influence is evident; Martin is known for producing radio hits with hooks you can't get out of your head, and I guarantee that if you listen to Top 40 stations, you will have Levine inescapably singing "So I cross my heart and I hope to die/That I'll only stay with you one more night" in your head at some point this summer. The album quickly drops into the next single–actually, the first single, which is "Payphone." This song, hampered only by an unnecessary-yet-obligatory guest appearance by a rapper (Wiz Khalifa in this case), has a fun dichotomy of a very upbeat sound against depressed and even angry lyrics. Even Levine's voice contributes to the "up" tone, at least until he gets to "All those fairytales are full of shit/One more fuckin' love song, I'll be sick."
That's not to say that Levine isn't capable of projecting emotion, because he absolutely is. Despite your standard unhealthy level of digital manipulation that is part and parcel to pop music these days, Levine has that kind of voice that is able to project emotion even through a wall of tweaks and twists. The problem with Overexposed is that he doesn't let himself do that enough. Hands All Over may have been a commercial disappointment but it was a solid album because Maroon 5 retained its humanity in a sea of generic pop clones of each other. Unfortunately, the success of "Moves Like Jagger" seems to have impressed on the band the idea that they need to join the masses to be successful. Look at "Lucky Strike," a song with some fun lyrics but decides to meld into the crowd by adding prerequisite dubstep breakdowns. The band hired a host of highly-successful pop producers for this album and they aren't playing around in this arena. In addition to the hook virtuosity of Martin the band brought on Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder and Noah "Mailbox" Passovoy to make sure there's no chance that this album could be mistaken as anything more than a pop hit. And that's sort of the problem. There are plenty of great hooks and baselines, but there is nothing organic about it. This is a selection of twelve hit singles; it's not an album. Individually many of these songs are very good pop songs, with the appropriate assembling of melodies and beats around Levine's voice. But there is no flow to them the way that Maroon 5 has done before. Their integration into the hit-obsessed top 40 scene is complete, to their detriment.
But hey, that's not to say that there isn't some fun to be had on this album. One of the advantages of pop music's focus on single-driven albums is that there are always a couple good hits in there. In addition to the first two tracks there are a couple enjoyable numbers, such as "The Man Who Never Lied." This is one of three tracks on the album where Levine takes on some production and under the guidance of Passovoy he delivers a good, solid hit about a relationship on the outs that will get a decent amount of airplay if the band so wishes it. Also worth checking out is "Love Somebody," one of the more emotional tracks on the album and a rare moment where, thanks to Ryan Tedder and Noel Zancanella, the overhanging production tricks ease up just enough to make for an honest-to-God song with emotion and not just a laser scope aimed at the Billboard charts; the smoother sounds of "Ladykiller" are likewise a sign of the old Maroon 5 before they were drowned in a homogenous sound. On the flip side, Levine tries to create an Adele-like ballad with "Sad" and like many of the people who have attempted to ape the British singer on Levine's show The Voice it falls painfully flat. Nothing else really stands out as bad, simply because nothing stands out. And that is perhaps the album's biggest failing.
Standout Tracks: "One More Night," "Payphone," "The Man Who Never Lied," "Love Somebody"
Skippable: "Sad"
The 411: Maroon 5's latest album Overexposed could have been more appropriately titled Overproduced. With a host of hit producers providing catchy hooks at every turn, the band gets lost in the shuffle and the end result is a collection of singles that never quite adds up to an album. While there are absolutely several songs that will play well on radio and are even good pop songs on their own, the whole is far less than the sum of its parts. Ultimately, Overexposed is more evidence to prove that when a group tries too hard to fit within the Top 40 mold, they're destined to succeed to their own loss.

Crash kills Penn Valley woman and Nevada City man
January 6, 2008
A 24-year-old woman killed in a three-car accident in the Grass Valley area Saturday has been identified as Trula Middleton of Penn Valley.
Middleton's 35-year-old male passenger was also killed in the accident, while his identity cannot be released pending notification of next of kin, said Nevada County Sheriff's Sgt. Jeff Pettitt.
The accident occurred at Highway 20 and Rex Reservoir Road between Grass Valley and Penn Valley during sleet weather conditions, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Two others were injured in the accident: Mary Anne Ettlin, 49, of Penn Valley sustained moderate injuries, and Amy Nordin McLeran, 31, of Penn Valley suffered minor injuries.
"At (about 1:10 p.m.) a 2006 Honda Civic was eastbound on SR-20" at Rex Reservoir Road, the Highway Patrol statement said. "For unknown reasons, the Honda crossed into the westbound lanes of SR-20 and was struck broadside in the passengers side by a westbound Volvo wagon.
"As the Volvo turned in a clockwise manner, in front of a westbound Kia Rio, it was struck in the right rear.
"The Honda turned in a clockwise direction and rolled one time, coming to a rest on its wheels off the north edge of SR-20. The Volvo came to rest on the north roadway shoulder of SR-20, and the Kia Rio came to rest west of the Volvo, in the westbound #2 lane."
Middleton and her male passenger in the Honda were pronounced dead at the scene, the report said.
The driver of the Volvo " Ettlin " was transported by ambulance to Sierra Nevada Hospital with moderate injuries.
The driver of the Kia Rio " Nordin McLeran "was transported by private party to sierra Nevada Hospital with minor injuries, and her 10-year-old male passenger had no injuries.

FWIW 9 months is a hard age for sttn because so much is going on developmentally. Teeth, standing up, talking, refined motor skills...everyday they are learning so much their sleep patterns are disrupted with ever more vivid (and possibly frightening) dreams. I have found that often all dd really needs to go back to sleep is a cuddle. Alternatively, it might be time to revert back to white noise, pacis, or any other soothing technique he likes. DS only STTN if there was very loud white noise nearby (a radio on static or a hairdrier on full blast on the cool setting -- we went through three of these in the first 18 months of his life) until he was nearly two.
Babies, like adults, stir every few hours, but the difference between stirring and waking is usually the baby's ability to sleep through these stirrings. If your baby is usd to sleeping with milkies, he will need to be given other sleep tools.

I hope I dont sound like a jerk here, but I have a FF 11 month old. He was a preemie and developmentally ~ 9 months. So in a very similar place as yours.
The nights that he wakes up once and gets up at 6:30 are 'good' nights for us. We just went through about a month in which he would get up 3 times most nights (teething, crawling, a cold...). DH and I were falling apart from lack of sleep. I work, so I totally understand the no nap thing. My husband is a SAHD, but our LO only naps in 45 minute stretches-so he didnt get many naps either.
We are now back to waking up only once or twice and sleeping until 7 (most nites, this morning he was up at 5:30). I am content with this.
For us, the best thing to do is go to bed early and take turns at night. One of us feeds in the middle of the night and the other one gets up early. We co-sleep, so we both wake up in the middle of the night and in the morning, but one of us is able to sleep for each.
It is rough, I am tired most of the time, but eventually we will get some sleep? I hope.....
No advice, but just letting you know you aren't alone. I'm just grateful that I don't have one of those kids who wakes up every two hours.
My boys are both FF (unable to BF due to IGT) and we struggled similarly with DS2. DS1 like your first had been easy so we got spoiled (He STTN @12 wks) But for DS2 we were getting very tired and we both work fulltime so something had to give. At a certain point when I knew he did not need the nutrition, I just stopped feeding him at night. i comforted him in other ways, but he did not get a bottle, I never let him play at all and I didn't play with him, just held, patted, rocked in a dark room with white noise on. It was tough because he did cry for the bottle, but I was there for him, holding, comforting and after 1-2 weeks he eventually he stopped the 2-4am wakings. He was and is still an early riser wakes at about 6:30AM for the day, but since we stopped feeding him he has STTN.

I know you said you're not really a book person, but I really want to recommend Dr. Weissbluth's "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child." Full disclosure, they have four different "methods" you can use when you go (or not go) to your baby at night and one of them is CIO and another one is pretty darn close to CIO, so avoid those. We are using the "maybe cry" method, defined that way because we don't cosleep and so I can't respond to his awakenings immediately by nursing the way that a family bed situation would be. He has great advice about how to help your baby get off of the nighttime bottle.
We definitely use white noise and its really incredible how well it works to block out noise. Give it a try, see if it helps. I definitely would try making the bottle diluted, eventually it won't be so appealing.

Has anyone ever tried to run 235/65r16's on a first Gen CTS? I came across a great deal, 4 almost new Blizzak's for $75! Great deal if they will fit!
They will fit. Those are only a bit bigger than the stock tires. Lots of room in them wheel wells!
Found an interesting size chart, 25.7 vs 28 inches in diameter.
8.86 vs 9.25 inches in width. The best part is it calculated how much your speedo would be off! Most sites don't like link postings, so I didn't post it.
Gladly! The best part is it also shows you the speedo conversions. I hope it does help someone else....
Here's another tire/wheel fitment site that's very handy - http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp.
Ok, first things first, AAIIIC, you have come across lately to me to be a pretty big *******. You never have any normal comments. You are always on here trashing everyone else's comments. There are ways to reply to a post without being a douche bag.Quote:

I would bet quite a bit that those tires will fit just fine.
Thanks Blayne....I thought it was just me! It was a rather strong response.....lol. Well I bought them, I guess they will either fit or I will CL them closer to winter (or maybe I can use my slow, lifted CTS for better ground clearance, lol!!)
(2) A 2" change in tire diameter is not "slightly bigger". When it comes to tire sizing, that's a huge difference.
Lol Ok good, that was actually my main concern. All cleared up. Carry on!!!Quote:

They fit in the back really snug..too big to turn the front wheels. I'm just going to go 50r/17 for the front until i can get a whole set for Winter.
What was the offset on the escalade rims? Might have been the problem.Quote:

I couldnt remember if they were 225 or 235 so I left it off.. Mikehenya's are 16's, mine were 17's. Was mikehenya able to get his fitted?!

IPSL Undergraduate Program CANCELLATION POLICY
* Application fees are non-refundable at all times.
* The IPSL deposit is non-refundable.
Should a rare circumstance require IPSL to cancel a program before it begins; students will be notified and offered a comparable program in which to participate, where possible. If for any reason a comparable program, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of IPSL, cannot be offered, a full refund of any fees and the deposit will be issued to the student.-
IPSL makes every effort to ensure that programs operate as described in the published material. IPSL reserves the right to make changes, without prior notice, to the service, academic study, academic excursions, and/or housing offered to the student. As long as the altered arrangements enable the student to complete the required academic work, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of IPSL, no refund or reduction of fees will be made.
All fees are due upon receipt of invoice. IPSL makes financial investments at our program sites abroad for the benefit of students. These financial commitments are non-refundable, even when a student withdraws. Therefore, IPSL is unable to issue a refund to any student who withdraws within thirty days of the start of a program.
Each IPSL student must sign the Contract of Participation. A student who is in violation of that Contract, and who is dismissed as a result, will not receive a refund.
IPSL reserves the right to retain foreign transcripts until all IPSL program fees have been paid in full.
Deferment requests must be made in writing at least thirty (30) days before the published start date of a program. A student may defer up to twelve (12) months the start date of a program. The deposit for the original program is non-refundable.

* IPSL deposit is non-refundable.
Should circumstances require IPSL to cancel a program before it begins, students will be notified and a full refund of any fees for an upcoming quarter will be issued.
IPSL makes every effort to ensure that programs operate as described in the published material. Occasionally, however, circumstances dictate that changes in the service, academic study, academic excursions, and/or housing be made. As long as the altered arrangements enable the student to complete the required academic work, no refund or reduction of fees will be made.
All fees are fully payable 30 days prior to the start of a semester and 30 days prior to the IPSL study abroad program site start date. IPSL makes financial investments at our program sites abroad for the benefit of students. These financial commitments are non-refundable, even when a student withdraws. Therefore, we are unable to issue a refund to any student who withdraws within thirty days of the start of a program term or after the program term has begun.
IPSL CONTRACT OF PARTICIPATION - Undergraduate and Graduate Programs
Participants of IPSL programs are expected to:
- Exhibit sensitivity to the host culture;
- Respect and follow the rules and expectations as mandated by the sending and host institutions;
- Remain in good academic standing at all times while on the program;
- Adhere to the local rules and laws; and
- Accept and respect the IPSL host family/lodging agreement policies.
IPSL reserves the right to require withdrawal of any participant for reasons of, in IPSL's sole determination, unacceptable personal conduct and/or academic participation. A participant shall not be entitled to any refund if such participant is dismissed by IPSL.
The process for dismissal may proceed as follows, however, the Program Director reserves the right to accelerate the disciplinary action as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Program Director. In all instances of dismissal, whether verbal, written or last chance, IPSL will be informed and will in turn notify the sending institution of each instance of dismissal. The Program Director will notify a participant of a concern initially as a verbal warning. However, should a further or new violation occur, the Program Director will issue a written warning. Upon further instance, the Program Director and participant may craft a "last chance" agreement for mutual signature. Participants will be dismissed from the program and sent home immediately upon first violation of terms of the "last chance" agreement, and such dismissal shall not be appealable. IPSL reserves the right to dismiss a participant immediately if the Program Director, in his or her sole and absolute discretion, believes the participant's behavior to warrant immediate dismissal.
Please read the following basic and inviolable rules of behavior of your IPSL Contract of Participation:
I agree to the terms of the IPSL Cancellation Policy, which is also posted on the IPSL website at www.ipsl.org and which is incorporated into this Contract of Participation by reference.
I agree to read and comply with the policies set forth in the program handbook and "How to Serve & Learn Abroad Effectively", which is incorporated into this Contract of Participation by reference.
I understand that IPSL service-learning™ placements are determined in part by student interests and skills (and, in some cases, language proficiency), but first and foremost by community needs, and that central to the philosophy of service-learning™ is the notion of service. Further, I understand that service-learning™ is not the same as an internship or practicum although it may look very similar on the surface.
I agree to maintain an acceptable standard of academic, public, and personal behavior while a student of IPSL.
I agree to first establish direct communication with the on-site Program Director should I have a programmatic question or safety concern. In turn the Program Director may speak directly with the IPSL staff as necessary.
I understand that as an adult (over 18 years of age), I am the sole Client/Participant of IPSL for the purpose of this program. As such, any and all communication regarding program issues or questions will be exchanged between IPSL and myself. Should my parent or guardian need information about my program, I (as the Client/Participant) will secure the information from IPSL and convey theinformation to them directly as needed. As a condition of my participation, I will sign a release of information describing the authorization for IPSL and their representatives to share my personal information on a need-to-know basis with the person(s) I designate.
I understand and recognize that the in‐country Program Director has the authority to make program decisions on behalf of IPSL. I also recognize that the Program Director may designate/delegate others affiliated with the program to make decisions on behalf of the program.
I agree to serve under the direction of service agency supervisors and abide by the philosophy, structure, and regulations of the agency.
I agree that I will not participate in any political activities during the period of the program.
I understand that illegal drugs in any form are not tolerated and are the grounds for immediate dismissal from the program.
I understand that violent behavior will result in immediate dismissal from the program.
I understand that sexual behavior deemed disruptive by the Program Director to the program or offensive to the host culture may result in immediate dismissal from the program.
I understand that I must abide by all laws and practices of the host country. I understand that violations of local law of the host community or country are referred to and handled by the appropriate law enforcement authorities. Any legal response or defense is not the responsibility of IPSL, and often there is very little IPSL or the governing authorities of one's country or sending institution can do to help.
I agree to release IPSL, its employees and its agents from any and all liability, injury, damage, or responsibility for actions or activities taken by me outside those scheduled by the program, or taken by me without the authority/approval of those representing the program.
I agree to release IPSL, its employees and its agents from any and all liability, injury, damage, or responsibility for actions or activities taken by me before or after the program dates, including travel within the program country or to other countries.
I understand that if I decide to remain in the program country or travel elsewhere after the official end of the program, I accept sole responsibility for all consequences associated with so doing, including but not limited to: (a) changing the date of my air ticket to accommodate the delayed departure; (b) attending to the dates of my visa (if necessary) and any changes beyond those obtained as part of the program; (c) my own travel, living, safety and security; and (d) my health insurance ending at the published program departure date.
I understand that ALL academic work, including the service-learning reflections seminar, must be completed and submitted before the program's end date (with the exception of the 3‐week India program, for which ALL academic work is due within one month of the program's end date). I agree that it is my responsibility to ensure that the appropriate faculty member receives this work. If work is not received by this deadline, I understand that a grade of "F" will appear on my official transcript and that this grade is final and cannot be changed.
I understand that as a student of IPSL, I will be viewed as a representative of my country, my family, my college, and IPSL. It is my intention to act as a goodwill ambassador and conduct myself in a fitting manner. I understand that failure to conduct myself respectfully to host country individuals may result in my being dismissed from participation in the program.
I understand it is my responsibility to complete the required steps to obtain a visa for the host country, if necessary, and to make sure I have the correct visa documents before departure from the US to the host country. I understand that it is in the sole and independent discretion of the foreign Consulate or Embassy to decide whether, when, and with what limitations to grant any and all visas, and neither IPSL nor any of its employees or affiliates can alter the outcome of this process in any way. I agree that I will begin the visa application process (if required for my program) as soon as the visa regulations allow (initial) ______. I agree that I will follow the most updated visa requirements that are available from the Embassy or Consulate in my jurisdiction (initial) _______. I agree that failure to secure my visa on time or at all WILL NOT release me from my contractual and financial obligations to IPSL (initial) _______.
I understand that IPSL does not own or control the environment of the host program and cannot foresee risks that may be present in the host program, environment or location. I further acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in the host program and accepting all risks associated with the program, environment, and location.
I hereby forever release IPSL, including its members, officers, directors, employees and agents, as well as my college, the college of the host country, the service agencies, and any other participating organizations, and each of their officers, directors, managers, principals, employees and agents from any and all claims and causes of action, whether known or unknown, whether in tort, contract, or under state or federal law, as well as from any and all liability, remedies, equitable relief, damages, attorney fees, interest, and costs, arising out of or relating to my participation in the service‐learning program.
I understand that IPSL acts as agent only and accepts no responsibility for loss, damage, or injury resulting from delay or any kind of negligence of any transportation company, agency or service, or from any other cause whatsoever.
I understand that the following inherently dangerous activities are neither covered by program insurance nor condoned by IPSL: mountaineering (where ropes or guides are normally used), hang gliding, parachuting, bungee jumping, racing by horse, racing by motor vehicle, racing by motorcycle, and parasailing. If I participate in any of these activities, I understand that my participation in dangerous activities is at my own risk and I accept sole responsibility for the consequences of my participation.
I agree to indemnify and hold harmless IPSL, and its members, officers, directors, employees, and agents, from any and all claims, losses, injuries, causes of action, liabilities, judgments, defense costs, attorney fees, and expenses, including expert witness fees, which IPSL may incur or suffer arising out of or relating to my activities while I am a participant in the program.
I agree to assume all responsibility for any and all debt incurred during the program, including the cost of telephone calls (including modem usage), wire transfers, transportation, or living expenses.
I agree to the terms of IPSL insurance policy and understand that it is mandatory and included in the cost of the program.
I agree that I shall not be entitled to any refunds for any reason, whether I voluntarily leave the program or I am dismissed or expelled from the program. Nor shall I be entitled to any refund in the event the program is terminated as a result of acts of god, war, political unrest, forces of nature or other events outside IPSL's control.
I understand that IPSL cannot guarantee that my sending institution will accept the academic credit of this program, or that I will remain actively enrolled in my home institution, while participating in the program. It is my responsibility as the student to verify the above with my sending institution prior to departure and forfeiting my program payment.
I understand and agree that should I be dismissed or expelled from this experiential program for any reason, IPSL will notify certain persons listed by me on my application and my signature hereby authorizes IPSL to so notify these persons; I hereby release any right of confidentiality/privacy under FERPA or any other State of Federal law as to such information.
I agree to participate fully in the experiential program by attending all planned course activities, including activities required by either the program itself or by the leaders of the program in which I am enrolled. Regardless of on-campus class attendance policy, I understand that I am expected to maintain regular class attendance.
I understand that I am responsible for any and all non-recoverable costs to IPSL arising out of my voluntary or involuntary withdrawal from the experiential program at any date past the deposit deadline, including but not limited to: airfare, excursions, housing, on-site transportation, meals, insurance, and course materials.
I understand that I am solely responsible for any and all costs or fees arising out of my voluntary or involuntary withdrawal from the experiential program prior to its completion, including withdrawal caused by illness or disciplinary action by representative(s) of IPSL.
In consideration of being afforded this opportunity to participate in this IPSL experiential academic program, I, for myself, my heirs, successors or assigns, release and hold harmless IPSL, LLC, its members, officers, directors, agents, and employees, from any and all claims and causes of action, whether known or unknown, whether in tort, contract, or under state or federal law, as well as from any and all liability, remedies, equitable relief, damages, attorney fees, interest, and costs, which I may suffer in the future that arise out of or relate to my participation in the service‐learning program, including damage or injury from ordinary negligence of IPSL, LLC, and its members, officers, directors, agents, and employees. I understand and I am knowledgeable of the possible dangers of travel in the experiential program, such as: terrorism, hijacking, kidnapping, or death. I, for myself, my heirs, successors or assigns, hereby assume any and all risksinvolved in participation in the experiential program described within this Contract of Participation. .

Keep a secret? We were going to sell stone tablets here, but then our supplier backed out. We thought about cancelling the sale but then we had all this stuff set up for a tablet sale and, well, why let that go to waste, right? So we got some Velocity Micro Android Tablets together and viola! Problem solved!
Cruz/Velocity Micro official site
Ok, I'll bite. Where the heck is the processor spec on the T301? Talk about leaving out a major buying detail.
Anyways, gonna bite on the T301. Double the ram, double the internal storage - but same 800mhz processor as the T103, according to their site.
here's a link to the modding community for these: http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/135-velocity-cruz-tablet/
For those of you thinking of getting the T301, I have one word for you...don't. Received my and can't turn it on. It has let available aps than HP Touchpad. My 1st disappointment with Woot.
