Cosamin DS joint health supplement capsules
What is Cosamin DS?
Cosamin DS is the No.1 orthopedic surgeon and rheumatologist recommended brand of chondroitin sulfate/glucosamine. As a joint health supplement, Cosamin DS helps reduce joint pain and stiffness by using ingredients that are safe, effective, and easily absorbed. Cosamin DS is superior to all other brands and has been proven effective in published clinical studies.
How Cosamin DS works?
The two main ingredients in Cosamin DS, TRH122 chondroitin sulfate and FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride, stimulate the production of cartilage. In younger, healthier individuals cartilage cells would normally accomplish this task. However, as one ages, cartilage cells die off and are not replaced. This starts a cycle of destruction in the cartilage. There are also enzymes present that degrade cartilage. Glucosamine hydrochloride stimulates cartilage production while chondroitin sulfate inhibits enzymes that break down cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate has been shown in clinical trials to slow the progression of cartilage deterioration as well as reduce joint pain.

She posted the photo of herself 30 pounds lighter with the caption, "I don't know why but my bathing suit reminds me of fruity pebbles. :)" She also recently told the press that, "Any time I find time - or I'm not sleeping - he's like, 'Let's work out, let's do something. I'm like, 'no,' but he gets my butt up and I've got to do it. It's fun to do that."

Sarris dives in during pool fundraiser
While dining in Canonsburg's empty Town Park Pool as part of a unique fundraiser for a pool liner, Bill Sarris had an epiphany.
"Me and my mom (Athena) were sitting at the dinner and she said, 'If your dad were here, you know what he would do,' " said the son of the late Frank Sarris. "I said, 'He would buy the liner.' "
In that moment, they decided to help the town do just that. Bill Sarris stood in front of 325 people and announced Sarris Candies Inc. would donate $100,000 toward purchasing a pool liner.
"I grew up there," said Bill Sarris of Town Park Pool. "I learned to swim there. My dad learned to swim there."
The $135,000 liner is expected to be installed this fall, which will allow the pool to open as planned Memorial Day weekend. Work to remove the old one began this week.
Velma Jeffries Youth Activities also gave $25,000. The "Dine in the Pool" event held Sept. 29, where people paid to enjoy a meal and dancing in the pool, raised about $25,000.
The extra money will go toward buying a cover, said Denny D'Orazio, Parks and Recreation Board chairman.
Canonsburg Council approved buying the liner and accepted bids in September. The Parks and Recreation Board planned to host a series of fundraisers to recoup the cost.
D'Orazio said community response to fundraising efforts made him realize just how important the pool is to Canonsburg.
"When Bill made the announcement, it was like the Steelers just scored a Super Bowl-winning touchdown," he said. "The place erupted."
The liner was last replaced 15 years ago. The pool opened in 1935.

Justin Timberlake isn't making music these days, but he's still making moves in the music industry. The pop-star-turned-actor has just become part owner of MySpace after News Corp sold off their stake in the musician-friendly website.
Despite MySpace's steep decline from its days as the dominant social network, Timberlake expressed confidence in a statement that the company could be a force in culture once again.
"There's a need for a place where fans can go to interact with their favorite entertainers, listen to music, watch videos, share and discover cool stuff and just connect ... MySpace has the potential to be that place," he said.
Timberlake, who starred in the Facebook-focused film The Social Network, won't just be a sideline player in the new MySpace, in the official announcement of the sale states that he "will play a major role in developing the creative direction and strategy of MySpace moving forward."
This isn't Timberlake's first shot at entrepreneurship: He previously launched the high end tequila brand 901, as well as the men's clothing line William Rast.

Cinna-Sugar Cream Cheese Spread
Recipe by newspapergal
I like the Philadelphia cream cheese brown sugar cinnamon spread, but I wanted one a bit lower in fat (and cheaper). So, I came up with this one, using reduced-fat cream cheese, and I love it on sweet bagels like cinnamon apple or cinnamon raisin.
Top Review by Sarah_Jayne
This was beautiful. I used fat free cream cheese and splenda brown sugar blends to make this even less sinful. With the addition of the cinnamon, which is thought to lower blood sugar levels, this is actually pretty diabetic friendly and seriously tasty to boot. I had it spread on a toasted English muffin for a indulgent tasting breakfast. Made for My Three Chefs.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions See How It's Made
- Once cream cheese is soft, quickly beat it until it's smooth. Beat in brown sugar & cinnamon.
- Can serve immediately or refrigerate for later.

|Pharmaceutical waste water analysisWaste water treatment by bacteriological biodegradation is used to treat waste water streams (e.g. pharmaceutical, environmental bioremediation). Excesses of some solvents in the waste water can poison the microbes - reducing their efficiency. Consequently there is value in being able to quickly measure concentrations of these critical solvents so they can be pretreated/diluted to protect the bacteria.

By Stefanie McIntyre and James Pomfret
HONG KONG (Reuters) - A period drama about a young man, a duke and royal orgies drew hundreds in Hong Kong to the premiere of the territory's first 3D erotic film earlier this week.
The soft-porn "Sex & Zen: Extreme Ecstasy" debuts as the stricken porn industry turns to 3D as a potential money-spinner to revive its fortunes following the success of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Avatar."
"What we're going to expect is that people don't take it as an erotic or any gross thing to look at," said director Christopher Sun.
"Try to take it as an entertaining movie for adults."
His father, Stephen Shiu, was responsible for the original "Sex and Zen," a 1991 film that grossed over US$2.6 million and held the crown as the city's highest-grossing adult film for over a decade.
Based on a classic Chinese erotic text, "The Carnal Prayer Mat," the $3 million film, released on April 14, follows a young man as he befriends a duke and enters a world of royal orgies and other sexual peccadilloes.
The film, which began production last August in a shabby film studio on the leafy fringes of Hong Kong, uses slapstick comedy and an amusing script to offset some of the more explicit sex scenes and occasional shocking violence.
Seven simultaneous premiere screenings took place in central Hong Kong, and Sun said he hopes it will run for over a month. This would take in both the Easter and the crucial May Day holiday, seen as key for one target audience - Chinese tourists. Continued...

Cultural Writing. Nature. Art. Woodcuts by Tom Killion. Originally printed in a limited, handmade, letterpress edition, THE HIGH SIERRA OF CALIFORNIA is now available in an affordable, full-color paperback edition. Combining the dramatic and meticulous work of printmaker Tom Killion--accented by quotes from John Muir--and the journal writings of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gary Snyder, THE HIGH SIERRA OF CALIFORNIA is a tribute to the bold, jagged peaks that have inspired generations of naturalists, artists and writers. Using traditional woodcut techniques, Killion has created stunning visual images of the Sierra that focus on the backcountry above nine thousand feet, accessible only on foot. Accompanying these riveting images are the journals of Gary Snyder, chronicling more than forty years of foot travels through the High Sierra backcountry. "Athens and Rome, good-bye " writes Snyder, as he takes us deep into the mountains on his daily journeys around Yosemite and beyond. 23 full-color woo

Consider this an ode to your amazing anatomy
You probably already know your vagina is seriously impressive. This amazing body part can bring about intense pleasure, annoying pain, and even another tiny human being. In short, it's pretty awe-inspiring. That's why we think it's crucial to stay on top of everything going on below the belt. Need a primer? Read on for all the fascinating facts:
It can handle a pretty intense workout. "The muscular tone of the vagina is so strong," says Alyssa Dweck, M.D., co-author of V is For Vagina. On a related note, kegels are seriously effective at strengthening the surrounding pelvic floor muscles for more intense orgasms. Could there be any better reason to exercise? (Wait, yes there is—these seven exercises for better sex.)
Your diet may affect how things smell down there. While there hasn't been much research on the topic, anecdotal evidence suggests that your scent can vary during ovulation and even when you eat something pungent like garlic, says Dweck.
The clitoris has more nerve endings than anywhere else on the body, says Dweck. No wonder it's like the control center of your orgasm!
Your vagina actually expands during sex. Ever wonder how it can seem pretty shallow when you're putting in a tampon but can also accommodate even a well-endowed guy? It's called vaginal tenting, says Dweck, and it's when the inner two-thirds of your vagina increase in length and width when you're aroused. Seriously, vagina, you never fail to impress us.
Not all lady parts are created equal—in fact, some clitorises may be a little closer to or farther from the vaginal opening. A brand-new study found that women whose clitorises were farther away from the vaginal opening were more likely to have trouble orgasming (probably due to decreased stimulation). But don't worry, these nine positions practically guarantee an orgasm.
It tells you when it's baby-making time. "It's incredibly cool that your vagina will let you know when it's the optimal time to get pregnant," says Dweck. "The cervical mucus during ovulation is clear, rubbery, and stretchy." If you're not taking oral contraceptives (which interfere with this process), watch out for this pretty cool sign from below.
It allows for so many different types of pleasure. All those pleasure-packed areas in the vagina mean you can have four different kinds of orgasms (clitoral, vaginal, blended, and multiple). Correct us if we're wrong, but can't guys only have one kind of orgasm? Yeah, thought so.
One word: childbirth. "It's an unbelievable fact that the vagina can allow a 10-plus-pound baby to come through it and still come back to a normal size," says Dweck. The healing process generally takes about six months post-baby, but that's still pretty impressive considering what the body part went through. And because we know you're wondering, check out what sex really feels like after you have a baby.
There's no such thing as a "normal" vagina. From the vulva to the labia, they come in all shapes and sizes, so don't fret about being perfect below the belt.
Your hoo-ha is so self-sufficient, it even cleans itself. In fact, many intravaginal products and washes can increase your risk of bacterial and yeast infections by throwing your pH levels out of whack. So stick to regular soap and water, and let your lady parts do their own thing. There are probably more bacteria in your mouth than in your vagina, says Dweck.

A Harley, Jolly Christmas: Carlsbad bikers stage toy drive for Christmas Anonymous
There are 22 comments on the Carlsbad Current-Argus story from Dec 2, 2012, titled A Harley, Jolly Christmas: Carlsbad bikers stage toy drive for Christmas Anonymous. In it, Carlsbad Current-Argus reports that:
Festive bikers with toys strapped to their Harleys participated in the 12th annual Biker Toy Run held by the Brotherhood of the 74 Saturday afternoon.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Carlsbad Current-Argus.
#1 Dec 2, 2012
...by a striking coincidence, poor kids everywhere are starting a fund-drive of their own to teach Harley riders to respect local noise ordinances and basic hygine like shaving and bathing.
#2 Dec 2, 2012
You really should shut up. Lemme guess, you're one of those people who couldn't ever afford a bike so you treat those who can like dirt..wow, do you feel like a big person now?! If you don't like motorcycles then oh well, that doesn't mean you need to judge someone just because they do like motorcycles. Besides, I think there are only a few bikers that I've seen who even fit into the category that you're describing. MOST of them are very good people who have money and nice homes. They did a toy run out of the kindness of their hearts. Instead of complaining on the computer why don't you go do something useful and maybe try to help out the people in your community... Oh wait, never mind...that would require you to have to get off your ass and do something!!
#3 Dec 3, 2012
Actually they mostly do the toy run to show off their bikes and pose in their costumes in front of everyone with their loud bikes. I used to do that until I watched Wild Hogs.
Since: Feb 09
#4 Dec 4, 2012
hey ...what was wrong with wild hogs....that was a funny touching movie....lol....never mind that it was pretty typical of the biker scene now...i dont ride a bike because when i bought one last time my wife was so mad she thru a brick though the front picture window.....so she made me sell it since she thought i would be riding around picking up chicks on it.....i could pick up chicks on a bicycle lol....but i began riding back in 1974 when i got my first license and before that minibikes and dirt bikes....i rode a bike yamaha 250 to junior high and high school....but now i would rather ride a pickup...lol...the only gripe i have of the toy runs is that i hope the kids get more than just the teddy bears that get rode rash on top of these harleys....i mean the bikers spend so much money for the show that the results cant be as good as if they just donated the money to buy the toys...
#5 Dec 4, 2012
The children are in need. Elvis.
Since: Feb 09
#6 Dec 4, 2012
umm...i think most kids have dolls that want them...even the carc farm store has dolls really for pennys...what kids really need are clothes and food....and a safe healthy environment to live....but hey...if all the bikers can give are dolls...then more power to them harleys.....but take the money theses guys spend on this rally and they would do a whole lot more for the kids....
#7 Dec 4, 2012
Then why don't you help them.
Who are these children that are in need?
San Jose church helps children.
Christmas anonymous. CARC is crap.
They should be closed. They sell filth.
New items only. People are not really poor. God helps us when he
likes us.
#8 Dec 4, 2012
Harley types need to be noticed. Their dress says, "Hey everybody look at ME!" And since that routine got really tired back in about '74 they resort to annoying loudness to interrupt everybody who WAS having a good day to stop what they were doing, look up and and hate some dolt on a Harley who is telegraphing, "Hey everygody, look at ME!"
Since: Feb 09
#9 Dec 4, 2012
wow...martha ....you typed more than two words.....the end of the world is really coming....lol....or its going to snow this weekend....either way....oh i do ....i help out peoples kids alot....and i also have grandkids that are dirt poor...they are the ones poorer than the ones getting the toys....every one needs to pitch in and help..not just leave it up to the bikers....but there are so many people out there that complain and yet they stand in line for the food boxes at the churches....handouts at the other places like jonahs house...etc...yet the parents smoke, drink and party all the time and have xbox, netflix and satelite tv....i grew up without getting to see much tv....your chores and homework had to be done and then maybe....i donate lots of stuff and take things to the rec center....lots of the kids there know me as the one who brings donuts....people are poor ....especially when the difference is big like when one kid goes to school with the latest nikes and the other has walmart brand shoes on with holes in them....there are a lot of worthy charities like coats for kids that can use a hand martha if you cant help out monetarily they can use your labor.....you might consider that these next few weeks like giving back....
#10 Dec 5, 2012
If all these kids are in need, why are they having them if they can't afford them? Are they thinking the government will just chip in or a neighbor? They do have birth control.
#11 Dec 5, 2012
We dont go to show off to anyone, its our way of life, we are professionals within your community, if you ever thought to get to know us you would probably have a different opinion. as far as the loud pipes, well at least you know were there so you dont turn into us, I myself have a very quiet Harley, with that said I have had to pull over to the shoulder due to people turning in my lane, its not very fun being on a 1200 lb. machine and being faced with a 4,000 lb car. Anyway the money we donate and the toys mean alot to the child who has nothing. before anyone talks us down, walk a mile in our shoes!!
#12 Dec 5, 2012
Tonight is the eve of St Nicholas.
Tomorrow is his feast day. A child
at catechism received a cell phone
after it rang in my purse. How cute.
#13 Dec 6, 2012
I am in total agreement with you on this! My dad rode a harley in the 50's thru the early 80's. He is now 81 years old and the thing he has taught me the most is to look out for motorcyclists because most people do not pay attention to them! People think they are scum which is just ignorant!
#14 Dec 6, 2012
Hey brother, not saying you all are bad people, but instead you all are great people to know. After watching Wild Hogs the movie, it kinda made me look at the way I was dressing and how I posed in front of people. I did not like that.
Thanks for doing the charity work all of you. Like you said you get run off the street sometimes, I also saw this, so that is why I quit riding, It's not if I'm going to get in an accident, but when. Health care cost now days would be costly. When I see a biker coming I give wide girth. Ride on my Brothers.
#15 Dec 29, 2012
Well, since my last post my company just hired one of your Harey Riders. I was unassuming, optomistic, and presumed the best about this new human who would be joining us.
But, sure enough. We now have to put up with a dolt who slurps and burps at the lunch table, talks 3 times as loud as the rest of us need to hear him, re-itterates rotten filth about n6ggwer movies and works at his machine with his maw gaping open and his toungue hanging out like a some Electo-Shock Therapy patient.
Thanks, Harey-Darleson Motorcycle members or whoever you are. Thanks for yet another example of motorcycle bilge that our youngsters are somehow supposed to emulate to succeed in life...

Katie Holmes' Companion
No, it's not Tom Cruise. Katie Holmes has a Scientologist with her everywhere she goes. Sad, isn't it? She was even accompanied by one of her minders to an InStyle magazine girls-only party.
"You weren't allowed to bring a guest with you. But Katie brought a guest, one of her Scientology 'handlers'. She was the only one that didn't come alone. Katie's minder kept a watchful eye and a close distance at all times. It was so creepy! You couldn't really talk to her honestly and openly," an insider who attended the party confessed.
"Katie looked dead in the eyes. She was not the same person she was before she met Tom."
I've been working on a fool proof escape plan for Katie, so hopefully soon I'll be able to break her free.

Demerara defeat Berbice to win Inter-County U15 tournament
By Clifton Ross
Demerara's U15 cricket team defeated Berbice by 91 runs yesterday to be the new champions of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB)/Limacol U15 cricket competition.
Playing at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground (GCC, in what was a virtual final, Demerara, resuming on 35 without loss and a lead of 75 runs, finished on 161 for 8 at the end of 56 overs.
Skipper Bhaskar Yadram, who had an unfortunate collision with bowler Joel Seetaram in the first innings and retired hurt on 16, resumed his innings yesterday and went on to stroke a classy 71.
He was supported by Stefan Campbell (14), Cleon McEwan (16) and a gritty (12) not out from Sagar Hetheramani.
Joel Seeraram was the pick of the bowlers picking up 4 for 48 of 20 overs.
Chasing 202 to win from 56 overs, GT&T Berbice started their chase positively. Openers Adrian Sukwah and Matthew Hardial put on a 31-run partnership picking up singles and twos at a consistent pace.
After the opening stand was broken, Berbice suffered a batting collapse and were eventually skittled for 111 in 52.2 overs.
Sukwah was the only batsman to contribute significantly, stroking 54. His opening partner Hardial supported with 20.
Ronaldo Mohamed and Hetheramani picked up three wickets each while Kelvin Shewpersaud finished with 2 for 25.
Sukwah was named Man-of-the-Match for his half century.
Over at the Demerara Cricket Ground (DCC), President's XI mauled Essequibo by a massive 218 runs, earning the runner's up spot.
President's XI took their score to 134 for 9 after resuming on 26 without loss.
Raymond Perez continued his form by stroking 35 while Zameer Inshan (23) and Andrew Clifford lent support.
Essequibo's Sachin Persaud picked up 5 for 42 from 16 overs while Besham Moses bagged 4 for 44 from 15 overs taking his wickets tally to eight in the match.
Essequibo lost their way from the start and were eventually routed for a miserable 38 runs inside 21 overs.
Randy Rooplall (10) was their highest scorer.
Richie Lucknauth's destructive spell of 5 for 19 from 10.5 overs and Darshan Persaud 2 for 9 sealed Essequibo's fate.
Moses and Lucknauth shared the man-of-the-Match award.
At a simple ceremony after the match were members of the GCB executive body, Marketing Manager of The New Guyana Pharmaceutical Corporation (GPC Inc) Trevor Basoo and Director of Sports Neil Kumar.
At the presentation ceremony, The GCB President Drubahadur and Secretary Anand Sanasie thanked the New Guyana Pharmaceutical Corporation (GPC Inc) for its contribution to the development of cricket and the opportunity to have youngsters showcase their talent and love for the game while encouraging them to continue playing cricket.
New GPC's Marketing Manager Trevor Bassoo highlighted his overwhelming gratitude to the GCB stating that the New GPC is committed to the development of cricket in Guyana and also pledged GPC's commitment to sponsoring future tournaments.
Kumar briefly said the tournament was the reservoir for the future of cricket in Guyana and West Indies and echoed the call for players to continue playing the game so they can be the next generation of great Guyanese cricketers.

Top UK health news stories of 2014
In 2014, Ebola became the biggest global health story of the year as the disease claimed thousands of lives. As the international community joined forces to help combat the outbreak in west Africa, there were concerns about the disease spreading to the UK.
Health officials made it clear the risk of Ebola coming to the UK was low, but health checks were put in place at some airports to screen passengers coming to the UK from parts of Africa.
No specific treatments or vaccines were available for the Ebola outbreak, but as the year ends, clinical trials are underway.
Among the health workers infected with Ebola was 29 year old volunteer nurse William Pooley. He was flown home to the UK for treatment at the Royal Free Hospital in north-west London – which houses a high level isolation unit (HLIU) used for treating infectious diseases. Mr Pooley was treated with the experimental treatment ZMapp.
In other news, NHS funding was rarely out of spotlight again, from decisions over funding drugs, to the future of England's Cancer Drugs Fund and the strain on hospital A&E departments.
Meanwhile, William and Kate announced that they are expecting a little brother or sister for Prince George.
'Vape' became the Oxford Dictionaries word of the year due to the growing popularity of e-cigarettes.
So what are the stories that our readers have been clicking on the most?
Here are our top 12 health stories of 2014:
1. Prolonged or heavy periods common during menopause
In April, a study confirmed what many women already know, prolonged or heavy periods are common during the menopause. US researchers followed 1,320 women in the run up to menopause. On average, periods lasted for around 6 days. However, for 78 in 100 women, bleeding lasted for 10 days or longer.
The findings in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology may be reassuring for women who have been concerned at period changes during menopause.
2. Doctors missing chances to diagnose COPD
In February, a UK study found that in 85% of cases, doctors are failing to spot the signs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and missing the chance of early diagnosis and treatment.
The findings were published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. Author of the study, Dr Rupert Jones from Plymouth University Peninsula School of Medicine and Dentistry, said in a statement: "The substantial numbers of patients misdiagnosed and under diagnosed in this study is a cause for concern. It is important that COPD is diagnosed as early as possible so effective treatment can be used to try to reduce lung damage, improve quality of life, and even life expectancy."
Reacting to the study, Professor Mike Roberts, programme lead for the National COPD audit programme at the Royal College of Physicians, said efforts are underway to increase early diagnosis of COPD together with better management to help reduce hospital admissions.
By November, a report from the national COPD audit found that standards of care for patients with COPD have improved overall, but there is still wide variation and some hospitals are still not meeting national service standards.

Quite a while ago I bought an HBE Com3 IWB for my new Colt New Agent .45. Took less than three weeks from order to delivery. The holster was perfect in every regard, a real work of art, EXCEPT, it hurt like crazy to wear it:embarassed:
Because of my build, the muzzle tip was pressing on the side of my hip real bad. I wasn't going to do anything about it. Figured it's the risk we take when ordering custom rigs over the internet. Some on this forum suggested I call but I just didn't want to put Eric from HBE in a spot. He's gone through a lot these past few years and it's good to see him doing well.
Well, it wasn't a week later that he called just to see how I like the new holster. I told him about it and he immediately asked me to send it back so he could make another one for me. I was impressed by this simple desire to please his customer. I sent it back with a few ideas and pointed out a picture of a closed muzzled COM3 variant.
Well a week and a few days after I sent it back, I got my new replacement hoster in the mail. So here's a review:
It's perfect :hand10:, it's thin, fits perfect. The closed muzzle and the extra bit of leather at the bottom makes is lay better on my hip, no pain and it fits TIGHT to the side. Delivery speed was totally great, price was very good. I have a Brommeland MaxCon that I thought was the gold standard but truth be told, that holster is WAY overpriced at Coal Creek Armory and it's not one bit better than the HBE. Don't get me wrong, I like my Maxcon (I use if for an MK9) bu the HBE is a far better value. Gun to holster fit is perfect. With my KirkPatrick gun belt it's the ultimate EDC Rig. But what really impressed me was Eric's willingness to simply make it right for me at a set cost.
And so I don't forget, I also got a mag pouch with it too and, of course, it's perfect. I think this has got to be one of the very best holster values currently available. Superior quality construction and finish and the concealment factor is great. Here's some pics:

text: Forget about Mark Thompson's interrogation by Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight. The BBC director general really met his match on Channel 4 News yesterday. Except it wasn't Jon Snow taking him to task – it was BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Adam Buxton. One half of Saturday morning favourites Adam and Joe, Buxton chose an unusual tactic when invited by Snow to put his argument for the station's survival direct to the DG. "Mark 'Thommo' Thompson, I'm inviting you for a fight. I could take you, I've been practising," was Buxton's straight-faced opening gambit. The look on Thommo's face – confusion? disdain? does not compute? – was a picture. "No, seriously," added Buxton. "I want to know if it's completely a fait accompli or whether the BBC will listen to people's opinions if they are offered to the BBC Trust online. I don't understand why it's necessary to get rid of a station in the name of quality when it is a station that is working really well and people really seem to love and it's working because its part of the BBC." He forgot to ask if Thompson is a Boggins fan. Adam and Joe are currently on sabbatical. Come back soon, their station clearly needs them.

SAN ANTONIO -- The Los Angeles Lakers' loss on Friday was a franchise-worst against the San Antonio Spurs, piling on to what has been the most difficult year of Mike D'Antoni's career.
The coach nodded his head emphatically before the question was even completed in the postgame scrum, acknowledging that beyond the record, dealing with the ebbs and flows has been a near impossibility.
"It definitely turned a few months ago where we couldn't get guys healthy," D'Antoni said. "We are trying to develop guys and trying to hang in there with them and trying to teach them how to be a good team.
"Our guys have to learn how to compete at this level, and it is not easy."
D'Antoni said the Spurs "grabbed our heart" in the 119-85 blowout in San Antonio.
For the Lakers -- tied with the Utah Jazz for the worst record in the Western Conference -- holding onto confidence has been a major chore through all the adversity.
"That is my job, first of all. And that's all our jobs. We got good guys. It is not a lack of trying or they don't care. They care a lot," D'Antoni said. "We just sometimes get outmanned.
"They will come back, and we expect to have a good showing on Wednesday."
That's when the Spurs come to L.A. for a second helping against the Lakers.
With a locker room full of new faces and bodies in one-year deals, perspective on the problems may be difficult to grasp within the big picture of a franchise not accustomed to looking up at every other team in the West standings.
But that is not the case for Pau Gasol, who has been through the thick and now the thin. He suffered through some putrid years early in his Memphis Grizzlies career, but he said this campaign has just been different.
"This season has been rough in many, many ways, in many aspects. We still try to go out and compete, but the load is just getting bigger and bigger," said Gasol, who delivered 18 points and grabbed 11 boards in the loss. "We don't seem to click a lot of times. It's definitely one of the worst seasons as far as the collective results and record, especially when you're a franchise like the Lakers.
"You don't expect to have a season like this."
Nobody expects this from the Lakers, including the Spurs, especially Gregg Popovich.
"Mike [D'Antoni] is going through hell," Pop said prior to tipoff. "You have all kinds of expectations at the beginning of the year, and injuries destroy them. It's disappointing for everyone."
The Lakers will resurface at some point. It's inevitable. But until then, their future is murky -- and those historic battles in San Antonio seem like a thing of the past. As Gasol, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili slide down the back side of their careers, we wonder when beatdowns like these are forgotten.
Even the Spurs hope these memories are forgotten soon.
"I miss the rivalry with the Lakers," Tony Parker said. "It's just tough for them, and hopefully they'll be better next year."

Platt Amendment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Platt Amendment was an amendment made in 1901 to a resolution of the United States Congress. It said that all treaties with Cuba had to be approved by the U.S. Senate and the U.S. had the right to interfere in Cuba's affairs if order broke down within Cuba. It also declared Guantánamo Bay to be U.S. territory.

Brownsville Parents and Teachers Rally to Save Their School
New York, NY —
The state's decision last year to keep Mayor Michael Bloomberg in charge of the city's public schools means the administration can continue to shake things up. But there was one change. The city now has to hold public hearings whenever it plans to close down a school. As a result, communities are mobilizing to fight the city's plan to phase out 20 low-performing schools. That's attracting controversy in Brownsville, Brooklyn.
When they first heard about the plan to close their school, parents and teachers at P.S. 332 wrote to elected officials. Now they're calling other parents. Nicole Farrell sat in the school's main office Monday making calls from a list of names.
"I'm calling to let you know that on January 13th we're having a rally at 4:30 to save our school," she said, leaving a message.
Parent Nicole Farrell at P.S. 332 in Brownsville calling other parents about a rally to save their school.
Farrell has first-grader at the school. Her nineteen-year-old also went here. "I have a lot of friends in the community that also have children that went to this school and they came out on top," she states. "The school does not need to be closed. The stories that are out there are not true."
Farrell is referring to the school's report cards. For three years in a row the school only earned a C, at a time when most schools saw more improvement. PTA President Reina Foster is a graduate of P.S. 332 and three of her children are current students. She argues that more than half of the students were reading at grade level last year –- a nine-point gain in three years. "Our grades show that we have improved. Are you blaming us for having shelters in our area where the attendance is poor?"
P.S. 332 is located near a bleak industrial park and a couple of homeless shelters. Parents and teachers say those transient families are part of why the school's attendance rate is less than 90 percent. Foster also believes the city wouldn't be closing P.S. 332 if it didn't plan to open a charter school in the same building. "I just think that the city is trying to take over all public schools and make them into charter schools," she says.
P.S. 332 (right) in Brownsville is surrounded by vacant lots, and is near an industrial park and a few homeless shelters.
That sentiment is common among angry parents at P.S. 332. The Bloomberg administration has opened a total of almost 100 charters, polarizing communities from Central Brooklyn to Harlem. Charters get public money but they're privately managed. Admission is by random lottery. Preference is given to local students but there are no guarantees. As a result, critics say charters are less inclusive than regular public schools.
The city vigorously denies those allegations. And parents who want charters say the schools offer more than regular schools. Nereida Torres sends her daughter to a charter school in East New York. "I understand their concerns," she says of the parents at P.S. 332 nearby. "Not wanting a charter school in and thinking that maybe the school just needs extra help. But in reality the charter schools are the extra help."
Deputy Chancellor John White says charters are reinventing the education options in low-income communities. And for those who think P.S. 332 is improving, White says the school didn't make the cut –- even when accounting for homeless students. "When you compare this school with schools across the city with students with similar challenges, this school is in the bottom 2 to 3 percent of schools in the city," he says.
The Department of Education is proposing to phase out P.S. 332 while gradually opening two new schools in the same building. One would be a regular elementary school and the other a charter for middle-school students.
Teachers have joined the effort to save all 20 of the schools the city plans to close. In the main office of P.S. 332, three teachers, three parents, and a volunteer from ACORN are making calls about tonight's public hearing on the fate of the school. Charters are an obvious threat to teachers because they don't have to hire unionized workers. Last year, the union sued to prevent the city from closing another school in Brownsville in order to make more room for charters. Science teacher Vanecia Wilson acknowledges she and her colleagues don't want to lose their jobs. But she says the fight is about preserving more than a school.
"This is our home," says Wilson. "We look at this as our home. It is a community within itself. There are people who have taught here over 20 years. I can't even imagine not coming to work here."
Teacher Vanecia Wilson and PTA President Reina Foster believe the city is only trying to close PS 332 to make way for a charter school.
The fact that parents and teachers here don't want an alternative is a sign that the city hasn't yet made its case for change. On January 26, the Panel for Educational Policy will vote on the plan to close all 20 schools. The panel's appointees are controlled by the mayor.View a map of city schools to be phased out in September.

The All-Star Game rosters are seemingly changing by the minute.
The New York Mets placed NL starting shortstop Jose Reyes on the 15-day disabled list earlier today with a hamstring strain, making him unavailable to play in Tuesday's event. Now MLB is announcing that New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera will skip the game as well because of an ailing triceps and will be replaced by Los Angeles Angels rookie Jordan Walden.
Other prominent players may bow out as well.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, the only NL All-Star to receive more than 5 million votes, has missed the last four games with a strained calf and has said he'll sit out the Midsummer Classic if he can't return to action by this weekend.
"The priority is to (the Brewers),'' Braun said, "to being healthy and staying healthy for the second half.''
And Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, Reyes' likely replacement as the starting shortstop for the NL, has sat out the last three games with tight quadriceps. His status for Tuesday is uncertain.
Reyes injured his left hamstring – not the one that was operated on in 2009, costing him most of the season – running to first base in a game against the Yankees on Saturday. He leads the majors with a .354 average, 15 triples and 124 hits and is regarded as one of the league's top MVP candidates at the halfway point of the season.
The Mets held out hope Reyes would bounce back with treatment but finally decided to put him on the DL and call up utility infielder Nick Evans from Class AAA Buffalo.
Braun got encouraging news today when an MRI revealed his calf is swollen but has no structural damage. Braun told reporters the injury is in a tendon behind his knee close to the hamstring and that he didn't know whether he'll be able to play in the Brewers' four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds that begins tonight.
Because both Braun and Reyes were voted in by the fans, their replacements would be chosen by NL manager Bruce Bochy in consultation with the commissioner's office. All-Stars chosen through the players' vote would be replaced by the next player in line based on that balloting.
Walden, who has 19 saves, was the next highest-ranking relief pitcher on the ballot who wasn't already on the AL team.

Reference Study
Problem StatementReference use is changing. We had conducted several self-reporting in-house studies that attempted to measure these changes. We felt that there was an inconsistency in the application of the definitions and that it was difficult for staff to conduct a proper survey while working. At one time, it was clear that there was a significant gap in public expectations of reference staff at branches and at Central. As a result, Central staff still tended to have a higher level of education and training.
InnovationWe worked with two respected, recently retired Reference managers from other systems and, together with them, put together a shadowing program and process in which all reference questions at Central desks and at several branches were captured and evaluated. The methodology allowed us to ensure that consistent definitions were being used at all locations and at all desks.
We established, beyond debate, that there is no longer any difference between the types of questions being asked at branches or at Central. We established that the number of in-depth reference questions has declined and that the vast majority of all questions did not require the level of education and training being demanded of Central reference staff.
As a result, we are re-deploying more of our professional librarian staff to branches and changing their job expectations, providing them with more branch supervisory responsibilities and more "professional" experience. We are also closing one Central Library reference point and using the staff that have become available to fill branch staffing needs that are reflective of increased use in some locations.

The location was excellent and the facilities were very nice. The young man who first met us as we drove up was very, very friendly and helpful. We had trouble getting connected to the Wi-Fi. When we did (with the help of their out-sourced IT) it was a very weak signal. Also, when we got to the hotel, the place seemed a bit chaotic with wedding guests, wedding parties and tons of people clogging the entry way.
When I was working I stayed at this hotel year after year, and appreciated the little extras they had. This room was very basic, no extras or frills - but it was close to the political convention I was attending.
I always stay at the Hilton, it's great location and pretty luxury althought there's many more luxury hotels, Hilton is great in price and location, close to bars and City Creek Mall The extra charge for parking should be included with the stay
Rooms are clean and comfortable Room was not ready when I arrived
It was clean. The staff was courteous, friendly, helpful and well informed. It was close to Temple Square and Shopping! Great atmosphere! No microwave or refrigerator in room. Also I don't like that they charge you for bottled water, $3.00 seems very high!
The view Bathroom Filthy carpets Dated rooms
I didn't like that you had to pay for parking each day and you had to pay for WiFi.
The firepits and lounge area No outside pool or hot tub. Room wasn't as nice as I was expecting for the money.
The daily parking seemed a little steep given both the parking garage and surrounding streets were basically empty.
The staff was so nice and very accommodating! Their Bambora resturant was amazing! The best food I've ever had! It was so good that we ate there for dinner and breakfast. Wine/social hour was very relaxing. It was a fabulous get away!!!
My husband and I enjoy staying here because it's always modern, clean, sophisticated and welcoming. They are so friendly and the rooms have these fun and creative amenities, like yoga mats & animal print bathrobes. We often have overnight lay-overs and roadtrip pit-stops in Salt Lake City and the Kimpton Monaco never disappoints. No complaints
Location, friendly staff, decor Room 708 must be very close to ventsbof some sort because there is a hum going on the whole day and night, which could affect quality or sleep.
Loved it here! Great place to stay! The staff is so friendly, definitely has a high end feel. Furnishings are very nice and unique layout. Very clean. Bed is very comfortable. I highly recommend getting room service. The restaurant in the hotel is to die for. They accept pets and welcome them with open arms. Valet service for $24 per night is very worth it! Lovely hotel!
Room, location, bed, view Girl that checked us in put us in the wrong room and when told did it again. I went to remedy and was told that hotels.com could not reserve the room I requested and that I would need to request refund from them. I went back to wrong room, called hotels.com and miraculously the correct room opened up! Yeah for hotels.com
I would definitely recommend it . I am going to stay more over there Everything was great.
It was clean and centrally located. TL;DR We were overcharged for the room. The room was dark and tiny. We were "upgraded" to a smaller, darker room. Don't stay here. Paying via priceline was $40 more than the hotel website advertised. On a night when the hotel was nearly empty, we were given an awkward corner room that was poorly lit and the size of a closet. Front desk was nice enough to "upgrade" us.... to a smaller and darker yet equally uncomfortable corner room. The robes were threadbare, faded leopard print, and gross. It was so terrible that we questioned whether we were on Candid Camera. I've been a lifelong Kimpton devotee but never again. There are so many great hotel options in SLC. Don't waste your time or money here.
Well decorated, nice overall. Other people's showers so loud it kept me up, knocking on my door when I have do not disturb tag hanging, if you arrive late at night your reservation may disappear, parking is stupid expensive considering cost of room, no parking for large vehicles.
Restaurant was very good - except for the dogs. Staff was helpful and friendly Dogs
the staff was great , the bed comfortable , room was nice parking was difficult , room service was a little slow
Convenient to all the downtown sights. Back patio is right on Gallivan Center plaza. Great views of the mountains. Cheerful service from everyone, from valet to housekeeping to front desk. Dinner at on-site restaurant was just okay.
The rooms were all updated beautifully with modern bathrooms and very comfortable bedding. Would definitely stay again !!
The hotel itself is nice. It's comfortable, clean. Seems best for business or couples. The indoor pool was fun with a city view. We had a few problems with our room upon arrival. Online we had booked a room with a sofa bed, and the microwave/fridge. The room they gave us had no sofa bed for our kids, so they switched us to a room with no fridge/microwave. The staff weren't very friendly. When asking questions about breakfast, facilities, getting extra blankets and pillows etc. they were rude and treated us as if we were being incovenient with all these "silly" questions. The pillows were miserable! Down and feather pillows provide no support so it made sleeping on a nice mattress difficult.
Great location and the view from my window was amazing. Very friendly staff. Clean comfortable bed. For the price the room was small, No spa, No coffee in the room. Not a hot tub, jacuzzi to be found. Room was hot. I was a very sad girl.
The staff was wonderful, even going so far as to loan me a phone charger because I left mine at home! The hotel is a 15 minute was to the Family History Library, right through downtown. The lobby is very nice. The room was perfect for my needs, clean and simple. It's not the Ritz, but that's not what you're paying for! Great value. I'd stay here agin on a trip to Salt Lake.
The beds were very comfy and the decor and location were nice. When the heater turned on, it was excessively loud (hard to sleep through) and the bathroom fan was very loud as well.
Staff was very friendly, location is fantastic!! It is old and has less amenities but this was no surprise as we reviewed the comments from other travellers. Breakfast is fine nothing special ! But overall it is a great value for what you get. Did not like having to pay for parking !!!!!!! Again the breakfast was nothing special and the internet in the room was slow but I did find that the internet down in the business room was fine!
The building smelt old and so did the room, I was worried my cloths would take on the smell so I left. The toilet was pretty much right next to the wall with the towel rack right over it so you couldn't go to the bathroom with out removing the towels first. The room was very small as well.
Clean. Vintage. A/C didn't work and it was way too hot. Rooms were tiny and a bit cramped.
Staff was great. Friendly, helpful and professional. The key card system was broken, so no room keys. Quite a hassle.
The elevator that only holds 2 people and works intermittently. Kinda worn and musty.
It's close to everything and close to public transportation. Also it's a historical building which is awesome. The place have a lot of history which made us really like it. The breakfast is not really good it's an ok breakfast. And also there is no parking so you have to pay hourly Parking or park from 8 pm to 8 am for free
The bed was amazing and the bathroom was massive The room did get a little cold at night.
The Peery is located conveniently to great restaurants, the Salt Palace, and downtown SLC. I was able to walk everywhere I went. The airport was only 15 minutes away by Uber. All the staff were excellent, very friendly and accommodating. The hotel has that boutique charm and has been redone beautifully. I was there during some unseasonably warm days. Being on third floor, all the heat seemed to come up to my room. Apparently, because of the age of the building, they can only turn on the heat OR the AC. I sweltered the first night. The next day I asked at the desk and they told me to leave the HV/AC system off and my room would cool down. Normally, that may have been true, but due to the warm days, it didn't happen. They then got me a box fan, which helped tremendously. I was more comfortable for the rest of my stay.
Interesting older hotel. It was clean and the bed was awesome. The staff was friendly and helpful. It is right in the center of the city. The room was small and the breakfast was so-so. It needs a remodel. It could be a top-notch hotel with some new carpet, paint, etc.
Great location! Elevators were constantly broken and the stairs were off limits so sometimes the weight for an elevator for 20-30 min
The beds are comfortable. Shilo In is under construction. Do not stay here unless you absolutely have to. The front lobby is cold, the parking is behind the Shilo Inn (you have to walk around the block to access the parking). Construction in the building is from 7am - 7pm (noisy and don't even try to sleep in). After I got to the Shilo Inn, is when I realized how much work is being done, and I still paid full price.
I enjoyed the friendly staff, convenient location, and the clean rooms!
It was so new and nice and clean.
clean and conveniently located. They don't have room service.
convenient location, Nice staff all else was bad. it smelled, our room had a whole in the ceiling and our bed had hair in it. The breakfast was bad and weird.
Staff was nice, good location. The hotel was very run down. Had broken table, ancient tv, and microwave. Free breakfast was a joke. Don't recommend staying there.
The room was very nice. The facility was clean and well situated. I really liked the pool, sauna, and the overall room. My friend ended up getting food poisoning after eating the breakfast. Please make sure that your food is fresh. He got very little rest that night and ended up vomiting for most of the trip.
Good breakfast. Better than other places we've stayed. Nice people. Good room. Breakfast not as good as I remember. Parking was limited. Loading/unloading lane was packed with overnight parking. The regular parking was all taken. We were sent across the street with a parking pass. When we went leave the attendant didn't recognize or no what to do with the pass. Luckily he let us through.
Price was extremely high during our stay
Nice big / clean room and comfy bed. Enjoyed the pool and spa and especially the proximity to the convention center for the conference I was attending. The hotel is under construction. It's getting a much needed update, but that meant construction noise and scaffolding outside my window. Wasn't a big deal.
Everything was perfect, no issues whatsoever. The room was cleaned so thoroughly everyday that it felt like we were getting a brand new room every day. No complaints whatsoever.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
It was within walkable distance of downtown; it was also clean and updated. I also enjoyed the free Wi-Fi. I did not like being placed in a handicap accessible room without being told in advance. As a hotel guest, sometimes you want to be able to relax and take a bath and that option was not afforded me.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Friendly, helpful staff. Location. We walked to our restaurant. Our room was nice but awfully small. We felt a bit crowded.
We normally enjoy the Marriott Hotels This Marriott was under massive construction which we were not made aware of. They did not offer the rooms that we paid for (kings with sofa sleepers), the restaurant was torn out, and the pool was destroyed.
The hotel lobby was closed and consequently so was the pool. We also couldn't find the breakfast provided by the hotel. We were placed in a room with one bed despite having booked a room with a bed and sofa sleeper. There were unwashed sheets in our room.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Very clean and great staff
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Room was nice and clean, internet was good, bed and pillows were okay. Our window faced a very loud and obnoxious dance club. The walls between rooms seemed thin. There was no breakfast included.
Comfortable, clean, great breakfast buffet. Disappointed in the cold pool.

When, if ever, should lying be permitted? If you've damaged a person's reputation unfairly, can the damage be undone? Is a person who sells weapons responsible for how those weapons are used? If the fetus is not a life, what is it? How, as an adult, can one carry out the command to honor one's parents when they make unreasonable demands? What are the nine biblical challenges a good person must meet? What do the great Jewish writings of the last 3,500 years tell us about these and all other vital questions about our lives? Rabbi Joseph Telushkin has devoted his life to the search for answers within the teachings of Judaism. In Jewish Wisdom, Rabbi Telushkin, the author of the highly acclaimed Jewish Literacy, weaves together a tapestry of stories from the Bible and Talmud, and the insights of Jewish commentators and writers from Maimonides, Rashi, and Hillel to Einstein, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Elie Wiesel. A richer source of crucial life lessons would be hard to imagine. Accompanying this extraordinary compilation is Telushkin's compelling commentary, which reveals how these texts continue to instruct and challenge Jews and all people concerned with leading ethical lives today. As he discusses these texts, Rabbi Telushkin addresses issues of fundamental interest to modern readers, how to live with honesty and intergrity in an often dishonest world, how to care for the sick and dying; how to teach children to respect both themselves and others; how to understand and confront such great tragedies as anti-Semitism and the Holocaust; what God wants from humankind. Within Jewish Wisdom's ninety chapters the reader will find extended sections illuminating Jewish perspectives on sex, romance, and marriage, what kind of belief in God a Jew can have after the Holocaust, how to use language ethically, the conflicting views of the Bible and Talmud on the death penalty, and much, much more. Jewish Wisdom adds a new dimension to the many widely read contemporary books that retell the stories and reveal the essence of classic religious and secular literature. Possibly the most far-ranging volume of stories and quotations from Jewish texts, Jewish Wisdom will itself become a classic, a book that not only has the capacity to transform how you view the world, but one that well might change how you choose to live your life.

A "Gem" of a Meteor Shower is Coming
One of the best meteor showers is just around the corner, scheduled to reach its peak during the early hours of Tuesday, Dec. 14: The Geminid Meteors.
Here Come the Perseid Meteors!
Clear skies over these next few nights and enough personal stamina to stay awake will afford a view of one of the flashiest meteor displays of the year: the Perseid Meteor Shower.
In Hot Pursuit of Asteroids
Scientists estimate that every few hundred thousand years an asteroid capable of causing global catastrophe careens dangerously close to Earth. Yet asteroids are, in fact, incredibly useful objects by which to study the very beginnings of the Solar System.
Cosmic Collisions Fuel Black Holes
Swift is a NASA satellite designed to spot gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the Universe. What kinds of dynamic cosmic activity can release such high-energy wavelengths of light?

Bernie Kerik, Disgraced Ex-Commish, Leaves Prison
Bernard Kerik arrived home Tuesday in Franklin Lakes, N.J., after serving a three-year stint in a Maryland prison.
Kerik is known for the unusual feat of being the first New York City police commissioner to serve time—in his case, as federal prisoner No. 84888-054. That was after his conviction in a corruption case that created a bizarre and distasteful word pairing: 9/11 and "love nest."
Kerik commandeered an apartment in Batter Park City that had been donated to help with recovery efforts at Ground Zero and instead used it to simultaneously conduct extramarital affairs with two women, one of them publisher Judith Regan.
And that was but one of his misdeeds. He pleaded guilty to eight felonies in 2009 after a judge described him as a "toxic combination of self-minded focus and arrogance." Nonetheless, these photos seem to show Kerik being warmly greeted by his family on Tuesday afternoon.

Booking my first service at 2000 miles
I've owned a few new vehicles and can say, after 2000 miles with my first bimmer (2013 x3 28i), I'm disappointed by a couple of initial quality issues I hope will be addressed in this service appointment. My vehicle had 4 miles on it when i picked it up. I wish they would have taken another lap or two around the test track before delivering it to me
- driver's side external mirror creates a distorted image (double vision) which is significantly more prominent when the Auto dimming is active
- passenger side external mirror creates a high pitched whistle that can be heard inside the vehicle at speeds at or above 60 mph
- twice this past weekend, the vehicle stalled after shifting from park to drive. This was especially surprising.

Booking my first service at 2000 miles
Did they fix the issues?
Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
Booking my first service at 2000 miles
As an update, the drivers side mirror is being replaced, the dealer claims they can't recreate the whistling noise but also admits they did not drive over 60 mph, the speed at which I say the whistling starts. I may need to drive with the tech for this issue because they claim its not in their practice to test drive cars at this speed. The car has not maintained any codes from when it stalled so they are also saying they can't replicate that issue.
Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
I have seen several other threads (I do not have them bookmarked) on either this forum or the other X3 forums dealing with whistling noises coming from the mirrors. Try googling:
whistling mirror BMW x3
The diagnosis involves putting pieces of masking tape over some of the joints around the mirrors. The noises then disappeared. Using this technique they could identify exactly what wwa scausing the problem and then work with BMW to fix it. You can demonstrate it by driving the vehicle with the tech in the car without the tape, putting the tape in place and driving with the tech in the car again.
The generic cause is poor alignment between adjoining body panels or parts. It happens on some individual vehicles apparantly.
Take a look at my thread on wind noise...I have the same exact thing and found some glaring build quality related matters as well...
I thought I'd swing back here and update since I had an opportunity to rebook an appointment but this time drive with the service manager. He acknowledge the whistling noise and my dealership has now had my car since Friday (it's now Wednesday) to try and resolve it. So far the window seal and mirror have been replaced. The mirror might not have needed replacing had they not broken it when removing it. They're telling me the noise persists so troubleshooting will continue tomorrow.
I would have never imagined a week to resolve a little wind noise.
Finally after a week I have my car back and the whistling is gone!!. The work order mentions replacing a deformed mirror seal and a deformed window seal. They also replaced the mirror cover that was broken when they removed it.
Have you had any further problems with the car stalling?
the car stall has not replicated itself and did not throw any codes. For now I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's a one off because now that my car rides quietly, I feel ok about the $50k pricetag.

Agency Creates Twitter Sing-A-Long To Band's Latest Single
To promote its new album, Rumor partnered up with 360i to create a website that sources tweets based on the song lyrics.
Bands in the 21st century are gearing up with the latest technologies and finding creative ways to promote their music. Brooklyn rock band Rumors made up of childhood friends John Paul Frank and Matty Gaffney have teamed up with the imaginative digital agency 360i to develop a sing along on a Web-based platform for the karoke lovers among us called Rumors Tweetalong.
With the first single titled 'Slow Down' off of Rumors' latest album, XOXO, visitors to the site can enjoy the single free of charge as it streams the lyrics and across the screen. Rumors Tweetalong encourages visitors to sing along, which if you think about it is clever on 360i's part. Sing along and there's a good chance listeners-turned-singers will have the song stuck in their head or at least recall the band's name.
To make the site relevant to today's connected world, accompanying the single are tweets that contain specific words from the lyrics that have been hashtagged. The tweets that pop up every time a word is sung are completely random, so there are instances where promotional tweets about a Louis Vuitton bag sale will surface.
To pause the track in case you're curious enough to read the tweets, simply drag your cursor over the lyrics. Click on the hashtagged words to open up the source of the tweet in a new page.
'Slow Down' plays just once through and by the end of the song a list of all the credited tweeters whose tweets have been used are displayed. Because the tweets are pulled randomly, the list of credits changes after each play.
An inconvenience visitors will have to come to terms with is the absence of a pause and play button. To replay the track again, the page needs to be refreshed.
Rumors Tweetalong is reminiscent of The XX and their collaboration with Microsoft to promote their sophomore album 'Coexist' back in September. The entire album was put up online where it streamed for free leading up to the official debut and visitors could watch the virality of the site on a digital map as the URL was being shared all around the world.
360i has been at the forefront of digital creativity in an effort to promote and even propel brands to fit into consumer's rapidly evolving digital lifestyles. To fit the scope of the changing consumer landscape, many of its campaigns are rooted in social media and data. For example the company spearheaded Coca-Cola's Freestyle dispenser launch by familiarizing customers with the machine, albeit a digital version, before the physical dispenser rolled out to the public. Based on the numbers, what the company is doing right now is working. It boats a 95 percent retention rate, with 15 percent boost in revenue to $600 million in 2012.

Montana Public Media Presents Debates, Launches Website
Written by Wolf Point Herald
Montana's public broadcasting services, Montana Public Radio, Yellowstone Public Radio and MontanaPBS, have joined with the University of Montana School of Journalism to launch an election year website and collaborate on broadcast debates and election programming.
The website,
, will archive all the broadcast and online material produced by the partners. It also will provide links to other Web resources.
"The goal is to be a 'go-to' site for citizens who want to learn more about the candidates and the races," said William Marcus, a general manager of MontanaPBS and MTPR.
The partners also plan an ambitious lineup of broadcast debates, candidate profiles and interviews, special documentaries and Equal Time and Ad Watch segments. The debates will be broadcast live on public radio and TV at 7 p.m. on the following dates:
•Monday, Oct. 8: U.S. Senate race.
•Wednesday, Oct. 10: Governor race.
MontanaPBS will broad-
cast fact-checking segments produced by the UM School of Journalism following each debate, and MTPR will provide analysis for radio listeners.
MTPR's Campaign Beat and Jackie Yamanaka's candidate interviews and call-in programs will be archived on
, as will the Ad Watch and Equal Time segments from MontanaPBS. Equal Time allows candidates for Montana's four government administrative offices: secretary of state, state auditor, attorney general and superintendent of public instruction. It's an unedited opportunity to answer a set of pertinent questions. Ad Watch analyzes campaign advertising.
MontanaPBS will broadcast documentary profiles of the candidates for U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives and governor. Another MontanaPBS program, Billing Montanans, will examine how two Montana families' tax dollars are apportioned to sectors of local and state government.
The news staffs at MTPR and YPR will produce interviews and call-in programs with candidates as part of their regular news programming.
The coverage will culminate with live election-night reporting, coordinated with PBS NewsHour and NPR coverage, to bring viewers and listeners results from statewide races.

Oinks! shuts its doors: Bye-bye, barbecued tofu
Oinks! advertised itself as "American style BBQ," but its ribs smacked of St. Louis.
And that's where you may have to go to get ribs as authentic as those served at Oinks, not to mention barbecued tofu. Because this East Colfax Avenue barbecue joint closed up after the end of business yesterday, after a round of deals to reward its mourning regulars.
"We're dedicated to the pursuit of the American dream: BBQ, good times and sustainable entrepreneurship," Bobbi Capps, who opened the place with her husband, Mason, in the spring of 2010, had told Lori Midson. "This is going to be American-style barbecue. We cherry-picked from all the good styles -- North Carolina, Texas, St. Louis and Kansas City -- and gave them our own spin."
For another barbecue place that pulls from styles around the country and gives them a Colorado spin, read Laura Shunk's recent review of Country Time BBQ.
