Detailed Description:
People who have Sickle Cell Anemia (HbSS) produce red blood cells with shorter lifespans. These red blood cells breakdown faster, and this is called hemolysis. When red blood cells breakdown, a tiny amount of Carbon Monoxide (CO) is released into the blood and is eliminated in exhaled breath. This research study will use a device called CoSense™, which will measure Carbon Monoxide (CO) levels in breath. The purpose of the study is to see how well the device measures the CO levels that an individual breathes out.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Sickle Cell
This arm will include 20 children with sickle cell anemia
Other: Measurement of carbon monoxide level in exhaled breath
Measurement of end-tidal carbon monoxide concentration
Other Name: CoSense Carbon Monoxide Monitor
Active Comparator: Control
This arm will include 20 children without sickle cell anemia
Other: Measurement of carbon monoxide level in exhaled breath
Measurement of end-tidal carbon monoxide concentration
Other Name: CoSense Carbon Monoxide Monitor
Detailed Description:
Subjects diagnosed with homozygous sickle cell anemia (Hb SS) have red blood cells with a decreased lifespan, which leads to an increase in the rate of heme turnover. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a by-product of heme oxidation and is excreted in exhaled breath. The concentration of CO in end-tidal breath can be measured and used to indicate the rate of heme oxidation, bilirubin production and the presence of hemolysis. The objective of this study is to characterize the performance of CoSense™ in children with or without sickle cell anemia. This is a single-center, open-label, non-randomized, proof of concept study to characterize the ability of CoSense™ to assess ETCO levels in subjects with a diagnosis of sickle cell anemia (Hb SS). Up to 40 children (5-14 years old), of which 20 participants will have a diagnosis of Hb SS, will be enrolled. Each participant will have two breath samples collected non-invasively, one immediately after the other. It takes approximately 120 seconds to collect the each breath sample. This study and investigational device are a non-significant risk to the patient. The nasal cannula is made of a biocompatibility-tested polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material with a soft open-end, and will be gently placed adjacent to one of the nostrils and partially inserted by approximately 5 mm. The objective of this study will be assessed through reproducibility of ETCO measurements and comparison of ETCO levels between children diagnosed with Hb SS and healthy children. The study would help in the development of a portable CO measurement device which has potential health applications in monitoring diseases with altered bilirubin metabolism.

" Das Hostel liegt idyllisch und einsam in einen ländlichen Gebiet des Nordostens der Insel. Es wird liebevoll von einem jungen Paar geführt. Die Zimmer sind sehr basic, das Bad o.k. insgesamt macht das Hostel einen etwas verschlafenen Eindruck. Man könnte mehr draus machen. Allerdings ist die Zufahrtsstraße eng und 4W-drive-mässig, der Ort insgesamt schwer zu finden. Es eignet sich nicht unbedingt für Rucksackreisende. Eher für Workshop-Gruppen mit Daueraufenthalt dort.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The top two seeds in each conference (and Pittsburgh) are pretty safely nestled into their positions, but everything else is up for grabs, with one win being able to do pretty much anything. To that point, four Pacific teams are currently in the brackets, and the last is just a win away. We should all thank our lucky stars that Buffalo managed to take out Montreal in a shootout, or else Boston would be lower. The conferences are so tightly packed right now, so let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Wednesday, February 16, before the day's games:
Calgary has been doing well lately just to get to #8, but Vancouver has been playing just as well all season long. With such a muscular lead int he West, Vancouver should win this one pretty handily.
Don't be completely fooled by San Jose's low standing; one win will get them to #3. Still, Detroit is quite good, and has shown that all season long. San Jose might have some fun with it, but there's no real doubt that Detroit won't win.
Nashville may have the second best defense in the league, but their offense leaves something to be desired. You might not think that would be a problem with Phoenix's mediocre defense, but the Coyotes have won five in a row. After last season's surprise showing, they haven't gone away this year, and don't look to anytime soon.
Anaheim has won four straight to snag home-rink advantage, while Dallas has gone 2-7-1 in their last 10 to fall to #5. These two teams are going in opposite directions right now, but Anaheim is going in the right direction.
With two games out of hand against Buffalo, Carolina doesn't have the best chance of retaining a playoff spot. Philadelphia, meanwhile, is still surging forward pretty nicely, and should take the first round without much trouble.
Tampa Bay has been off and on in their last few games. However, New York just won their first game in three weeks on Sunday. Their rather poor defense will hurt them later on against better teams, but for now, the Lightning are looking okay.
The Capitals have lost their last three, in regulation, including two at home. Ditto for the Bruins, though. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because Boston did win the season series 3-1 (including winning both games at the TD Garden) and unquestionably does their best work at home. Still, you can't help but feel bad about Boston lately.
9.93% of Pittsburgh's goals surrendered this season (14/141) have come in their last two games, including a nine-spot surrendered to the Islanders. Pittsburgh really needs Sidney Crosby to be useful for long periods of time. Carey Price and Montreal have given up just 146 goals this season, which will help hold them if Crosby isn't himself or there, providing Matt Cooke isn't allowed to cripple anyone for literally no reason anymore.

Homecoming (edition 1989)
by Bob Greene
Work details
Homecoming by Bob Greene
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In one of his columns, Bob Greene wondered whether any of the stories about Vietnam veterans being spit on upon their return to America were true, and asked veterans to send in their accounts of what happened. This disturbing book is the result. Veterans were divided in their responses, some with spitting incidents to relate, others with no bad experiences, and some with other types of sad tales. The book made me remember my own feelings about that time. I was lucky enough to miss the draft, either by a lucky birthdate or having gone to college. But I remember discussing with my parents that I would refuse the draft if called, and go to jail if that were the result. I would have no qualms about defending my country if attacked, or another if it were invaded (which was not quite the case in Vietnam). Greene interjects his opinion here and there, but mostly lets the veterans speak for themselves.

The commander of a US nuclear submarine faked his own death to end an affair with a woman he had got pregnant.
Michael Ward, 43, has been relieved of command of the USS Pittsburgh after the woman, 23, contacted the US navy after receiving a letter saying that he had been killed in the line of duty.
The letter said: "I am extremely sorry to tell you that he is gone. We tried everything we could to save him. I cannot say more."
The woman, who later lost the baby, went to Mr Ward's home to offer condolences to his family but discovered that he had simply moved house. He has been reprimanded by the navy.
Mr Ward, who is married with children, met the woman on an online dating site and they exchanged emails before spending the weekend together while he was on training operations in Norfolk, Virginia.Reuse content

PostgreSQL Multiple Precision Arithmetic¶
pgmp is a PostgreSQL extension to add the GMP data types and functions directly into the database.
The extension adds the types mpz (arbitrary size integers) and mpq (arbitrary precision rationals) to PostgreSQL and exposes to the database all the functions available in the GMP library for these data types, allowing:
- higher performance arithmetic on integers respect to the numeric data type
- a rational data type for absolute precision storage and arithmetic
- using specialized functions to deal with prime numbers, random numbers, factorization directly into the database.
Here you can find a more detailed list of goals for this extension.
See the performance page for comparison tests between GMP data types and PostgreSQL builtins.

text: Ok so i have an 06 sti with no mods and i was driving down the road and the check engine light came on. The engine wouldn't rev past 1800 and it took a long time to get even there. So i shut it off and restarted it and it was ok. Then it kept doing that till i got home. I had to keep restarting the engine to make it work. when i did eventually get home I scanned the car and it gave me error code p0122(throttle/pedal position sensor/switch A circuit low input) and p0222(throttle/pedal position sensor/switch B circuit low input). When it does stop working the car will jump to a higher idle around 1200 until i restart then it back down to about 500. Also the cruise light is blinking even when the engine is acting normal. I'm not even sure where to start with this one any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What do I need to move out to my first apartment?
I'm trying to figure out what exactly I need to move out. I'm not talking about things that will come with an apartment like a refridgerator, oven, and shower, but things like couches, bathtowels, dining table, coffee machine, storage organizers, iron and ironing board...Of course, I'm not moving out next month, probably not for another year, and I am also hoping I can move out with my best friend as well, so we will share the costs of these things together. But I am wondering what are the necessities of moving out that can be overlooked: bathtowels are necessary, cleaning supplies are necessary...what makes up a home?
#1 Figure out how to do this with no one else to count on for 1/2 the rent.
They will move out at the worst possible time and leave you hanging.
First place? Go to the DAV or Good Will and pick up anything you will need for1/3 the price of new. Furnished my first house with everything, couch, chairs TV Micro Wave, dishes, pots and pans, glasses ect. for less then $300.00.
A "home" can be more involved then just what you "need".
We have 2 spaghetti strainers!!
I look at each room individually and decide what's needed in each one.
Make a list.....I use my smartphone for lists....always in your pocket.
The kitchens probably gonna suck up most of your list followed by the bathroom.
Look around where you currently live and use that as s start.
Make sure your roommate signs the lease as well!
Rent a furnished apartment.
My wife and I started out [circa 2004] in a small apartment with little more than what we had from college. We bought a new mattress/box from a local place and some bedroom furniture from Ikea. I think that was all we bought new. Our couch came from Craigslist, livingroom furniture was hand-me-down from her parents and brother, all the kitchen stuff came from the second-hand store. I would say that I never realized how many different kitchen things you need until then (pots, pans, plates, cups, etc).
I wouldn't focus too much on furniture and stuff. If you have a TV, you can throw down some bean-bag chairs and voila - instant livingroom to start. Just pay attention to everything you use now - for a couple of weeks. Did you take a shower? What did you use (shampoo, soap, towels, laundry hamper)? Did you get something to drink - was it in a pitcher in the fridge, what did you pour it into, did you get ice cubes from the tray?
Thinking like that for a few weeks will give you a better understanding of what you "need" on a regular basis.
I live next to a dollar store and noticed that they have some kitchen stuff there ie dishes, cups, towels, utensils, etc...are those worth buying or would it be better to go to walmart?
How old are you? You seem to lack some basic life skills.
Were I you, I'd go to the cheapest place I could find for things for your first place. It's not going to be stuff you'll keep forever. Even paper plates, plastic utensils, styrofoam cups, and camping chairs would do. That's what I did once upon a time in the 1970s. But then, as retired military, I slept on the ground and occasionally ate things most people wouldn't.
When my fiance entered my apartment, she found a mattress on the floor (before futons were cool!) I didn't have a dresser. I had steel shelves in the closet because I could layout everything where I could see it (the designers at HGTV will eventually catch up with my avant guard stylings)
Everybody I know who apartmented with others ended up having to live alone for a while. The first thing you need to move out is the ability to pay the rent at least for a while until the old room mate can be replaced. The second thing you need is...to move in. I lived for years in the '70s without a TV. It is not a necessity. I had piles of books. My apartment would have been SOooooooo much less cluttered if Kindles had existed back then. You need a touch of creativity to make do without the stuff you think you need but don't have. Can you cook? You should learn. Otherwise that rent money you need goes to McDonalds. Can't cook? I recommend Alton Brown's Good Eats series (of course that does require the TV you may not have) Moving out isn't about furnishings. It's about problem solving.
Best to start on hand me down furniture, stuff you can find on craigslist.
My first efficiency apt some over 10 years ago I bought a good condition full sized futon for $100. It was my couch and bed for a few months until I got a bed.
I started out with dollar store plates and silverware, nothing wrong with it. It does the job and that's what matters. When I could afford better I did so. I'm not into fancy forks, just something quality I could shovel spaghetti into my face with. Plus a better set of cooking utensils comes down the road.
All you need is the basics to start no matter how cheap, the rest will fall into place over time. And as said, make damn skippy you make enough to cover all the rent and bills yourself just in case.
And I still go to the dollar store for deoderant. Same brands, just a few bucks cheaper.
A lot of these dollar stores pick up stuff from big brand box stores who've closed a store or had an accident such as a fire. They buy it for cents on the dollar and mark it up and still make their money. You can actually find quality stuff there.
I also buy cleaning supplies from there.
Places like Big Lots are liquidators of sometimes nice merchandise. You have to shop carefully but you can get great deals. Tuesday Morning is another one but higher up the food chain.
Chicago has issued a caution not to purchase used upholstered furniture because of the bed bug crisis. Not sure I would be so paranoid but it is worth keeping in mind. In addition to thrift stores and things, we have several places that liquidate high end hotel furnishings for next to nothing.
As mentioned, Dollar type stores can be great for basic dishes and silverware. Do be aware that some of the glazed coffee mugs may have cheap Chinese glazes with lead though.
The neighborhood where I live is very high end for the most part and the things people donate can be really nice. So, shop in thrift stores that serve such areas where you live.
Making sure your roommate (and corresponding co-signer) is on the lease is great advice. Not much you can do about it if the person has no money but at least you have legal remedy to pursue. You and your roommate should sit down ahead of time and come up with some house rules and expectations. Now is the time to talk about policies regarding parties, entertaining, sleepovers/squatters, etc. As you buy things, keep an inventory and initial as to who owns what. You might want to share your final agreement with your co-signers for their input.
Depending on your situation, your first apartment may be lower cost? Make sure you have your local tenants union look over the lease and do check out the landlord ahead of time. Make sure you understand the lease terms.
Make sure you have enough money for the rent AND deposits for the apartment, utilities and so forth. You will probably have to deposit money for a year or so if utilities have never been in your name before. In NYC it was not uncommon to have to pay to use the freight elevator for moving in and out.
You can call it the Sheldon Cooper Memorial Roommate Agreement (for those Big Bang Theory fans out there)

LONDON – Prince William's pregnant wife, Catherine, was given a badge to help expectant mothers get a seat on the London Underground when she accompanied Queen Elizabeth II on a visit Wednesday to mark the train network's 150th anniversary.
The queen, who was fulfilling her first public engagement in more than a week after suffering symptoms of gastroenteritis, smiled broadly during the visit to Baker Street Station.
Kate, 31, was presented with a "Baby on Board" badge by London Underground Chief Operating Officer Howard Collins.
She held it against her teal-colored coat and joked, "I'll make sure I wear it at home."
The London Underground gives the badges to pregnant women to let other passengers know they may need a seat.
Now five months pregnant, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, still cuts a slim figure but her baby bump is growing by the week.
"Kate said, 'Oh yes, I've seen this before.' She used to travel on the Tube, so she probably saw them then," Collins said, when asked about the presentation by reporters.
"She asked me, 'How do they work?' and I said they're fantastic, they really do make a difference — saves men the embarrassment of having to guess if a woman is pregnant," he said.
The 86-year-old queen's illness, an infection of the stomach and bowel, forced her to be admitted to hospital March 3 for the first time in a decade. She and her husband, Prince Philip, subsequently had to cancel a planned visit to Rome a few days later.

Frugal Diapering: Diaper Pail Deodorizer
This won't save a whole lot of money, but it will save your nose.
I think the deodorizers made for diaper pails often smell worse than the diapers.
The commercial deodorizers make my eyes water.
Instead, put six or seven drops of your favorite essential oil on a cotton ball or pad, and put it in your diaper pail's deo-disk holder.
Or just tape to the inside of the lid.
Add a couple more drops every week or two to re-charge it.

synthetic differential geometry
On a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold a Killing-Yano tensor is a differential form such that
where is the covariant derivative with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of .
There is also a variant of conformal Killing-Yano tensors
Killing-Yano tensors serve as "square roots" of Killing tensor. In a spacetime with a Killing tensor the relativistic particle has an extra conserved quantity. If it refines to a Killing-Yano tensor then also the spinning particle or superparticle has an extra odd conserved quantity. If then this is an extra worldline supersymmetry.
The Kerr spacetime admits a conformal Killing-Yano tensor (…)

I know that nobody will believe me, but the waiting is not the hardest part, as Tom Petty said. The hardest part was picking out what color, what options and how much to spend. At any rate, I now have a new Dark Gray Metallic 2011 WRX Limited Hatchback on order.
For options I went with the Nav System, Short Throw Shifter, Center Armrest, Security System Shock Sensor and Turbo Boost Gauge.

Loaner Car ..??
Please let me know what you guys think:
I had an ED delivery on 09/20, dropped off 09/22, cleared USA Customs and arrived at VPC New Jersey on 10/23. VPC said that the car was ready to be released and delivered to my dealership in ILLINOIS but the dealership had to go into their INFONET and request it to be released.
I called my CA and told them that but he said "NO NO NO, there is nothing they need to do and the car is on the truck, should be arriving by FRIDAY".
I called the VPC on Wed, Thursday, Friday and they said that the car is still with them and waiting for my dealer to release it. I relayed this information to my dealer and still the same answer.
Finally I conferenced my dealer and the VPC on Friday at 4:15PM and the dealer had realized that they had made a mistake. So everything was taken care of and scheduled to leave VPC to ILLINOIS on Monday 10/29. Well due to the weather, everything is closed and the dealership can't track the car and has no time table.
Is it reasonable (unreasonable) for me to request a service loaner until I get my car since it was their mistake which caused the delay? at this point, I have no idea when I will get my car.
Thanks in advance for your help/advice.

UNITED SCHOOL DISTRICT: Three seek two seats on board
Two incumbents and one challenger are seeking to fill two seats on the United School District Board of Directors representing Region II, which covers Armagh Borough and East Wheatfield Township in Indiana County.
Norma Carpenter and Gertrude "Trudy" DeRubis are both seeking a third term on the district's "Team of Ten." The challenger is Eric Matava, a recent United graduate.
The district welcomed a new high school principal, Michael Worthington, in November and a new superintendent, Barbara Parkins, in December. The district also recently underwent a multimillion-dollar elementary renovation project, and started its own cyber school for its students last year.
All candidates will be on both the Republican and Democratic ballots.
Norma Carpenter is running for re-election because she said she is excited about the new administration, namely Parkins.
"I think her leadership and knowledge and what she has brought to the district has just been tremendous," Carpenter said. "She has so much experience and it just seems like that, to me, is going to move our district forward. I'm so excited about it."
Carpenter said she feels there have been a lot of accomplishments at United.
"Collectively as a board, (we've been) working on improved curriculum in reading and math. I don't think we came in there, any of us, with major issues," she said. "I think we just took what was already in place and continued to move it forward, starting with the leadership we had with our former business manager (Phil Marcus), and it set the tone."
She also said she feels the board has been "fiscally responsible, especially with all the cuts we've faced."
"The school board is continuing to be cognizant of budget cuts and doing what we've had to do collectively for our students," Carpenter said. "I think we've managed the budget constraints very well considering what we've been given and (what has) been out of our control."
She said the board has worked to provide United's students with the options they need to prepare for college, in terms of new electives that have been added and the honors program, as well as being involved in the ICTC program.
"We really have tried to raise the bar," she said.
Also important being a board member is being able to work together as a team.
Ongoing fiscal responsibility, Carpenter said, is a big issue, but she's trying to find ways to make it less of one.
"I'm trying to come up with new ways to be creative as far as running the district with having monies removed from the budget, but continuing to meet the needs of the children, with nine different opinions and guidance from the superintendent," she said.
She also said the board and the district also must focus on safety within the district.
"We definitely need to make sure we have the safest environment in which our children can thrive and get the education they need, yet having the utmost safety they need as well," she said.
Carpenter said she, along with the rest of the board, would like to see United be one of the top school districts in the state.
"I think we have the potential with our teachers and leadership and the type of students we have. We could be the best of the best," she said.
Carpenter is a 1976 United graduate. She attended the Community College of Allegheny County for her RN degree, and took classes at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown. She has worked as a registered nurse for 33 years, and is employed as an RN nurse manager in the occupational health clinic at the Homer City power plant. She also is owner of Safety On Site, an occupational health and safety business. She lives in Armagh with her husband, George, and has two grown children.
TRUDY DeRUBIS
Gertrude "Trudy" DeRubis is seeking to keep her seat on United's school board because she feels there is "unfinished business."
"I'm able to make a contribution to the school district, and to the community and the children of the community," she said.
DeRubis is a retired United teacher, having taught in the district for 37 years, first as a Title I Reading teacher then as an instructional support teacher for the last nine. She has been the school district's ARIN representative for 3ᄑ years.
She said the budget "is a concern of all our board members" and is "pretty much our main issue."
"My basic thing is, I'm a retired teacher from the district. I'm always interested in looking at the educational system and what we can do to improve and how we can move forward even though the district is doing excellently," she said.
"We've been trying to work on the budget based on the way our funds have been cut, and figuring out how we can keep taxes down without affecting our children's education — how can we cut money yet still maintain the level of education we have for our children?" DeRubis said, adding that the board doesn't want to raise taxes but "we don't want our children to suffer because of the cuts (Gov. Tom Corbett) has made."
"We've been able to maintain that balance, but it's always a struggle," she added, saying that over the last eight years the district has reduced its staff through attrition, and class sizes have "gone up a little, but not to the point where we feel like we're cheating the kids."
DeRubis also said everybody is "doing more with less help."
"I have to say that every aspect of the school district, including the employees and staff, has stepped up to the plate," she said. "Aides and staff have been doing more, custodians are doing more. We've had to have them enlarge what they do because we have been unable to replace them."
DeRubis said she has some goals for United in the future, such as looking at safety issues, "maintaining what we have as far as education and even looking at schedule changes.
"How can we schedule their classes so they can get a quality education without minimizing the time they have in classes? … We want our kids to be well-rounded, and we want to keep up with technology and advances in education, and with aligning our work with the core curriculum," she said.
"There's always something going on to either change or to align with something else, and hopefully we're improving," DeRubis added, noting that United was the only district in the county to achieve the PSSA adequate yearly progress for 2011-12, and "that shows we're doing something right."
Being a member of the board, "we have most of our hands in the education," while at the same time trying to keep the district's constituents happy, DeRubis said.
"We maintain open lines of communication with them and answer their questions when they bring us concerns, and we channel those concerns where they need to go," she said. "I enjoy the challenge."
DeRubis also is interested in looking at the district's public relations as far as letting parents and the community know about United's achievements.
Another issue DeRubis and the other board members are looking at is trying to bring back more of United's students to enroll in its cyber school as a means of saving money rather than having them attend other cyber-charter schools in the state.
DeRubis is a 1959 United graduate and attended IUP for elementary education. She taught in Baltimore County, Md., for two years before returning to the United district with her family. She has two children and four grandchildren.
Eric Matava, a 2009 United graduate, said he has always wanted to get involved in public service.
"I thought this would be a great opportunity to get involved in the community and give back and get into the mix after four years of being out of school," he said, adding that he would bring "a good perspective to the board."
Matava, a law student, said being a member of the board "will give me the opportunity to apply skills I've learned as a law student, and that would translate well onto the school board."
Praising his alma mater, he said United consistently has ranked above most of the other schools in the county over the years.
He sees two major issues in this year's race. The first is increased state funding for cyber-charter schools rather than the traditional school setting.
"With Gov. Corbett, he's placed much more emphasis on school choice — less funding on public schools and more focus on giving individuals the choice of going to charter schools," he said, adding that by "actively recruiting students for United's cyber academy, (the district) could save thousands of dollars" instead of paying for their enrollment in another cyber-charter school elsewhere.
"It's important for the public to know what that's all about," he said.
The other issue he sees has to do with the adoption of the common core standards and the phasing in of the Keystone exams.
"The standards that they want you to meet is up to the school districts themselves, so there's a little legroom in there to work," which Matava said is good, because "it makes schools more accountable and have more rigorous standards."
Ultimately, Matava said he's a proponent of local control rather than through the state. Curriculum should be left for the teachers and administrators to decide, not the state he said.
"Standards are good, and they have good standards in mind, as long as teachers are allowed to mold their curriculum to those standards," he said. "We don't know how it's going to work out (since it's still a new initiative), so it's important to keep a close eye on it."
Matava said the exams will pose a challenge to the school in the coming years.
"Anytime you have new standardized testing, there's always a concern that teachers will be teaching to the test," he said. "We have to be sure in framing our curriculum as a district that we're not teaching to the test, that we're developing curriculum based on students' needs while meeting standards that are more rigorous than the ones we have currently."
Matava said he's running as a "fresh face, trying to get involved in the local community and do the best I can."
"I have the experience of being a student a few years ago and sitting in those seats a few years ago," he said. "I still maintain great relationships with the faculty."
He said his personal experience of being an alumnus "will serve (him) well" even though it's the first time he's running for public office.
He said he thinks the district will be able to do that "without any tax hikes or additional burdens on the taxpayers."
He said with the district looking at a $2.7 million deficit (as of March), "we should look at all other alternatives before implementing a tax increase."
Matava, 22, of East Wheatfield Township, recently completed his first year of law school at the University of Pittsburgh. He graduated from the University of Pittsburgh before seeking a law degree, with dual degrees in economics and political science.

A large-scale overhaul in the health care industry is causing major headaches for physicians ahead of its implementation date this fall.
Doctors across the country could lose significant amounts of revenue - enough to affect their ability to care for patients, critics say - as a result of a mandatory update of the United States' health care codes to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition, or ICD-10.
"It's very complicated, and I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster," said Jim Wring, practice administrator at Purchase ENT in Paducah.
Starting Oct. 1, every doctor, hospital, insurance company and clearinghouse must change from the ICD-9 to the ICD-10 coding system, increasing the number of diagnosis codes physicians use from around 13,000 to nearly 70,000.
The transition to ICD-10 will be costly, but if doctors don't make the switch, they won't receive reimbursement for their services. Purchase ENT's three-physician practice, for example, faces costs of up to $84,000 in lost productivity, employee training, and systems upgrades related to the update, Wring said.
He added that practices have been advised to keep anywhere from three to six months' worth of revenue in reserve to weather a change that many don't see as necessary.
"There's not a change in the different sicknesses and illnesses people have, but to be able to get paid for the services we provide, we have to make our coding a lot more specific," he said. "It brings absolutely no value to the quality of medicine."
In fact, he believes it could hamper care by restricting the number of patients an office can treat.
"If income stops coming in, what's the physician's office going to do?" he asked. "If we're not getting paid for what we're doing, it's going to limit (patient) access."
Dr. Christopher Sperry, a family practitioner with Mercy Primary Care, said he expects patients to experience longer visits after ICD-10 goes into effect, as more detailed documentation requires more time. But he says there are benefits to the switch.
"It's becoming more descriptive," he said of the diagnosis codes. "(ICD-10) improves physician-to-physician communication, as long as it's documented correctly."
Lisa Asbell, CEO of TrainRx.net, a company designed to help with the transition to ICD-10, said there are other upsides to the new coding system.
"ICD-10 is going to make it more feasible to ... continue on the quest to an e-health environment. It's proven in other countries that have made the transition to be better for reimbursement providers and to limit the number of denied claims. It also makes for better patient care by collecting better patient information," Asbell said.
She called it the biggest change in health care in 30 years, and said it will affect every process doctors and office staff have to go through. Even receptionists, schedulers and doctor's assistants will have to change the way they talk with patients, asking new and more specific questions.
"Everything changes in the practice," she said. "I really feel for private practice over this. Even though I can see some benefits of ICD-10, I personally see that it is difficult."
Over the years, ICD-10 has met with resistance from organizations such as the American Medical Association, which for more than a decade has asked that implementation be delayed or set aside. In a Feb. 12 letter to U.S. Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the AMA called ICD-10 a costly, unfunded mandate that will not improve patient care and urged the centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to reconsider it.
"We are concerned that payers will place strict requirements on the specificity of the codes reported and reject or pend claims, further compounding payment disruptions for physicians," the letter read.
"I'm not necessarily for ICD-10 moving forward, but it is, and we have to quit pretending and get busy," Asbell said.

This is the most wonderful cake mix your oven will ever see. I have had the pleasure of baking the Sprikles Red Vevelt cupcake mix to my friends and family and they didn't make it through the night. I love baking, specially cupcakes and this is by far the best cake mix i've ever used. It's nothing like what you'll find your local supermarket. I love the recipe i have from my mom, it makes lovely light & fluffy cakes everytime, but this mix is impossible! The batter is a deep velvety red and baked evenly and beautifully. The cupcakes were nothing short of perfect, rich and delicious with the most delicate taste of chocolate. The mix also comes with a recipe for cheesecake frosting which is attached to my fridge door. It's the perfect combination. And to top them off, this cupcake mix also comes with the signature confectioners' red dots. The room was filled with sounds of ''mmmm''.

More new homes being built locally and in the United States are seeing a lift in demand for our timber.
Newstalk ZB business correspondent Roger Kerr, says with the US forestry industry concentrating on local demand, our exporters are reaping the rewards in Asia.
"Already our log exporters to China are seeing stronger prices, as US logs are no longer exported into the Asian market.
"There is enough demand in the domestic US market."
Roger Kerr says while that's good news, high export prices are still causing concerns for local producers.

Milan menswear shows to start amid gloomy context
By Marie-Louise Gumuchian
MILAN (Reuters Life!) - Designers will show off their menswear creations for next winter starting Saturday in a shortened Milan fashion week with expectations of another downturn in Italian sales casting gloom on the glitter.
Luxury brands have not been spared by the credit crunch and the National Chamber of Fashion said on Friday it expected turnover for Italy's fashion industry to fall 5 percent this year to 63.2 billion euros ($83.78 billion).
Although the chamber said the forecast could change because of the uncertain context, it added that the decline followed a 4 percent fall to 66.5 billion euros in 2008.
Models will strut down the catwalk in more than 40 shows during Milan's menswear Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 fashion week. It runs until Tuesday and comes as the economic recession begins to bite hard in the United States and elsewhere.
"The cupboards are full and to provide incentives for people to buy, you need to propose new and creative things," Mario Boselli, the chamber's chairman, was quoted as saying in Il Giornale newspaper.
"(Fashion week) will provide evidence of efforts to overcome the economic situation."
Originally planned for five days, the Milan shows have been squeezed into four, after a diary clash with Paris fashion week. Continued...

What is it?
Paycheck Baits' Nose Job, a brilliantly simple piece of terminal tackle. The name is remarkably fitting, seeing as how Paycheck is based in plastic surgery's homeland, sunny - and often funny - California.
What does it do?
It gives your soft plastic moving baits an incredible hunting, darting action. Flukes, Swimmin' Flukes, Skinny Dippers and even small swimbaits are ripe for a Nose Job.
How do I use it?
Thread a small (1/4- or 3/16-ounce) weight onto fluorocarbon line then slide the Nose Job on with the concave part pointing forward (the "in" part of the dish goes through the line first). Then tie your hook on with your bait of choice. Pictured is a Zoom Swimmin' Fluke. When you're all rigged up, toss your bait to the side of the boat and find at which speed the action is most pronounced. Then begin fishing in earnest.
What sets it apart?
Well, have you ever seen anything like this? Didn't think so. They really do impart a cool action to your soft plastics, provided you're not using too heavy of a weight, which can kill the action.
How much?
www.tacklewarehouse.com has a 4-pack for $5.19.

In any case, i bet the price was right, and for a few hundred bucks and a weekend worth of work you will have a good driver. Hope you are prepared to deal with corroded bolts. I think that was my biggest pet peeve with every Hyundai I have ever touched... 2-3 year old bolts would snap from corrosion.

To be more specific and fair, it is modeled after the engine (which is a 6G72 backwards) found in the 3rd gen Eclipse V6, which found its way in 2.7L form to the Tiburon, and now 3.5L form in that car.

funny, down here when someone talks about a +2000cc car everybody its like wow thats a big engine!, and V6 are less than desirable, everyone looks for 1.6l motors or smaller. I think thats why diesel are so popular here.
looks like a real nice project! I really like hyundai cars the are making big improvements everyear

Like I said it appeals to my cynical nature and makes me laugh. Looks cool on the fridge and it's a sad but true statement. Only downside was I had to go out and buy some magnetic tape to mount it on the fridge b/c it didn't come with anything to affix it to other metal surfaces. And that's really not a huge deal sand was easy to solve.
