The supercharged 3.5ltr V6 powerhouse looked resplendent in Aspen White, its muscular lines drawing smiles of appreciation from local bystanders. With a top speed of 269km/h, and a grin-inducing acceleration of 0-100km/h in 4.7 seconds, this was a natural choice of road car for the racing driver.
Equipped with a 6-speed IPS (Intelligent Precision Shift) gearbox, Maldonado can be assured of an intuitive response from the car whilst the opportunity to use the paddle shift controls enables the Lotus F1® driver to feel right at home behind the steering wheel. The sport pack option on the car offers the choice to raise the rev limit and change the dynamic stability control settings for a further heightened experience. It's an emotionally evocative car, it even sounds dramatic - thanks to the active exhaust system, which delivers an earthy growl at the push of a button.
Recently appointed Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales said: "It is our pleasure to present the Evora S to Pastor Maldonado, our newest Lotus F1® Team driver and ambassador. I am sure he will enjoy this car as much as the Evora S customers do around the world. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish the best of luck to the Lotus F1® Team for their up and coming race in Canada. The whole of the Lotus community will be watching in support."
Pastor, who jumped in the car getting immediately acquainted with the vehicle was thrilled with his new Lotus "I would like to thank Lotus CEO Jean-Marc and everyone at the Lotus factory for the opportunity of driving this great car. I'm excited to take the famous Monaco hairpins in this. It looks like pure fun on four wheels"
The multi-award winning Lotus Evora is regarded by many as one of the finest handling cars in the world. Maldonado now joins fellow team mate Romain Grosjean who took delivery of an Exige S coupé last summer.

Statistics show that there has been an increase of children in the UK who are either obese or overweight. This presents a serious issue because many health problems can stem from being overweight. Heart disease, diabetes, asthma, sleep apnea, bullying, and even shorter life spans are just a few of these issues. The next generation should be encouraged to adopt healthy lifestyles so that they can live long, prosper, and make the world a better place.
Some great ways to help children lose weight are to manage their eating habits and encourage physical activity. Any cardio activity that raises the heart rate while the body is in motion is great for weight management. Practicing healthy eating habits and managing portion size are important. Children should be eating home cooked meals composed of lean meats and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Fast food, which is high in sodium, should be limited. Being sure that children are eating well rounded meals containing lots of fruits and vegetables, limiting sugars and fatty foods, and only serving them enough to sustain them until the next meal is important. Do not let them overeat. Some children eat simply because food is present and they can see it, not necessarily because they need it. Scheduled meal times also help with structure. Routines where children are conditioned to eat at a certain time help to regulate appetites.
Water intake is another important factor. Staying hydrated and cutting out sugar filled beverages helps greatly with overall health, even dental health! Water helps to keep the body flushed out and clean.
The top 10 ways to encourage children to exercise and be healthy are:
- Encourage participation in a sport. Kids love to play team sports like soccer, basketball, football, softball, kickball; especially if their friends are playing too. Other options for kids who may not be interested in team play include karate, gymnastics, tennis, and sports like track and field.
- Limit time spent indoors. Encourage outdoor activities such as hopscotch, jump rope, four square, and hide and go seek.
- Limit time spent on electronics such as video games, cell phones, tablets, TV's, and computers.
- Be the example, be an active parent! Kids imitate what they see their parent/guardian doing.
- Get out of the house. Have lunch in the park. Placing children in situations where they don't have the option to not be active.
- Skip the elevators. Instead, encourage kids to take the stairs.
- Have older toddlers/children walk instead of making it easy, going for convenience, and using a stroller.
- Use your pets! Have the kids take the family pet for their walk. Encourage them to play games like fetch and chase with the dog.
- Make chores fun! Mowing the grass, putting things away in the house, vaccuming, dusting, and even washing and putting away dishes or clothes are all activities that keep the body in motion!
- Trade in candy bars for fruits and vegetables when it comes to snack time. Fruits and vegetables are also a great source of energy that is a healthier alternative to sugary, fatty foods.

Greyhound Bus headed to Cleveland crashes
(WHITE DEER, Pa.) — Authorities say an early morning collision between a Greyhound bus headed to Cleveland and a tractor-trailer in central Pennsylvania has killed one person and sending dozens of others to hospitals.
State police said a woman was killed in the crash reported shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday on Interstate 80 in White Deer Township in Union County.
Greyhound spokeswoman Alexandra Pedrini said 45 of the 50 people on board, including the driver, were taken to five local hospitals. She said she had no information about the severity of the injuries.
Pedrini said the bus was heading nonstop from New York City to Cleveland, Ohio. Family members can call company hotline 800-972-4583 for information.
The westbound lanes of the interstate were shut down, but one lane of travel was opened just before 5 a.m. Wednesday.

Architect Warren Schwartz, FAIA, credits a sunrise visit to the rim of the Grand Canyon—and a later dream about the experience—as the seed for the Berkshire mountains summer house he shares with his wife, violinist Sheila Fiekowsky. Schwartz, who is in the habit of doodling while his wife fiddles, worked out the basic concept during Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts. "I just drew the memory of this dream while I was at Symphony Hall," he recalls. At one intermission, he ran into structural engineer Sarkis Zerounian and handed him a concert program covered with elevation sketches. At the end of the concert, Zerounian handed back a preliminary structural design.
The result of this classically scored collaboration is a slender chevron, clad in glass and anodized aluminum, that follows the sloping grade for half of its length before leaping into a gravity-defying 45-foot cantilever. A massive concrete foundation under the earth-bound half anchors the cantilever, effectively acting as a bridge abutment. "But here," Schwartz notes, "we have only half a bridge." Steel-framed floor and roof decks and steel-tube members form a three-dimensional truss, in which the floor actually hangs from the roof.
In plan, the building is surprisingly down-to-earth. "I always use the analogy of a Pullman car," Schwartz says. "The rooms are on the right, and the corridor is on the left." The corridor descends three sets of folded-steel stairs, passing three bedrooms and a separate staircase to the roof deck, each of which occupies its own concrete landing. The elevated entry provides a preview of the vista that wraps the airborne great room.
Builder Chris May's background in commercial construction prepared him well for the construction methods involved—with its steel frame, glass curtain walls, and concrete topping slabs, the building contains virtually no wood—but in the essential matter of how the building would hold itself up, he simply had to trust the engineer. And Zerounian delivered. "He told us how much out of level to hold that cantilever up," May says, and when the crew removed the temporary screw jacks under it, the structure settled exactly as predicted. "I don't think the floor is more than 1/8-inch out of level in the 40 or 50 feet it cantilevers out there. It was like cooking a soufflé that comes out perfect: You don't know what you did, but it worked."
Schwartz and Fiekowski's commitment to the design also required a leap of faith. But the house, their home base during the BSO's summer seasons in Tanglewood, Mass., lives up to the dream that inspired it. Descending through the building, toward a mountain-and-valley view that stretches into New York state, one's elevation above grade actually rises. Visitors liken the sensation to a ride on a biplane or a magic carpet. "You feel like you're in a high-rise building," Schwartz says. "It's a horizontal building that feels vertical."

Subject: King Lear Analysis: What Ho? 1.4
Peter Stone concluded that Q1 Lear is the primary source of the F text but he acknowledged use of a manuscript source for correction, noting that "F fails to remedy the corruption" of one passage: "In this case, as in the others, we cannot fail to be impressed above all by [the reviser's] apparent inability to break free from [Q1 errors]." Stone holds that "the manuscript the editor/reviser/collator consulted was not an independent manuscript [but], not to multiply hypotheses unnecessarily . . . the same manuscript as that used in the setting up of Q."
The suggestion doesn't "recommend itself as immediately plausible. . . . Nevertheless . . . let us consider how, put as a hypothesis, it explains the evidence. . . . It is easy to see that . . . [a collator] would be unlikely to get much beyond the [compositor's and corrector's] mistakes . . . . At the same time, the corrections in F are accounted for. The vast majority of the certain corrections are emendations of Q misreadings, to explain which we need not suppose any recourse to an independent manuscript. . . . The survival in F of other forms of error is also easily explained. . . . If [the reviser] was checking his printed copy against the manuscript from which the Quarto itself was produced, then there is very little evidence to convict him of careless oversights [as would be the case if the manuscript was independent and better]."
"Supposing [the collator] had access to an authoritative manuscript, it is a priori highly unlikely that he would have been permitted any large measure of editorial freedom . . . . It is otherwise if we assume that no other sources of copy were available [than Q1 and its printer's copy] . . . . In such circumstances an editor [would] be allowed the greatest liberties . . ." (88-89)
Stone rejected 'foul papers' behind Q1. For those who believe in foul-paper copy, insistence on consultation of Q1 copy in F's preparation is "multiplying hypotheses." But since belief in foul papers is assumption in the first place, there isn't much value in the pot calling the kettle black. The paramount question remains: What was Q1 copy?
Some evidence Stone cites supports his Q1-copy inference but some doesn't. It's not easy (conceptually) to rule out foul papers or derivative copies as sources for corrections of Q1 errors, though persistence of faults tells against them. Nor is it certain that a qualified, imaginative reviser aware of the Q1 transmission history could not have consulted his ingenuity to mend the text. Yet the "certain corrections" encourage a presumption that the "editor" had some (if not enough) help. I prefer to wish the Q1 printer's copy away, not from supposing an edge for foul papers (which I reject as a viable alternative), but to retain the simpler theory that Q1 was the only written F source. Yet I agree with Stone on one possible instance of eyeskip (and its implications) enough to accept his Q1-copy hypothesis (provisionally). Should any think about my thinking (both doubtful) it would probably be judged over-subtle or worse. But while others give no thought to eyeskip I've worked up a sense of the phenomenon, including a belief that its evidence can help to decide important issues. Thus another long analysis.
Omission is a common transcription error; printed restoration is difficult to detect if foul-proofing correction (absent variant text) is assumed not to have been employed. Q1 evidence lies in over-crowded verse lines; examples are more or less convincing. But as numbers mount, relatively uncertain instances become more suspect. Yet alternative explanations will not be eliminated when the verse is corrupt (or is prose), and where no attempt is made to keep a proper lineation. If Q1 copy was not lined as verse and division not marked, relining would have been haphazard in any case—which it usually is:
Fran. Is it no more but this, a tardines in nature,
That [often leaues the historie vnspoke that] it intends to
My Lord of Burgundie, what say you to the Lady? (do,
Loue is not loue when it is mingled with respects that
Aloofe from the intire point wil you haue her? (stāds
(Q1 TLN 232–37 [B4r19–23])
The middle three of these corrupt lines comprise four pentameters, with "do" and "stāds" turned down. Because two clauses begin with that, the bracketed words could have been omitted by eyeskip and restored in the above arrangement. Mistake-free seriatim-printed verse would not appear so, even if the copy was mislined or extrametrical. Not all such errors would be corrected (by restoration of the omission) and some might be allowed to stand by choice.
If a later edition seems to restore an omission, the obvious possibility is that copy other than a preprinted edition was available to those making the restoration. But that isn't necessarily the case; consider this added line in F (shown here in brackets):
Lear. Of all these bounds euen from this Line, to this,
With shadowie Forrests, and [with Champains rich'd
With plenteous Riuers, and] wide-skirted Meades
We make thee Lady.
Because and is placed, in both F addition and Q1 text near the same point in verse-lining, it is evidence of restored eyeskip (since there is no particular reason to interpolate a line, as Stone observes, 239). Yet he notes that frequent revision in F's early going reduces the significance of the reoccurring and (a common word subject to coincidental usage), even though it is empirical evidence (in its placement; and is just before and also at the end of the interpolation). Hypermetrical following verse argues further against an added line from authorized text. And yet if Q1 copy possibly assisted revision, all the evidence should be considered. (Restoration also supports theories that independent text influenced F.)
Some lines may support Stone's Q1-copy hypothesis when inference is difficult because eyeskip correction need not be true to original copy in respect of reoccurring words; analysis is then less of a bibliographical and more of a textual kind. Therefore F 1.4.333–58 and its smaller Q1 counterpart receive exceptional attention from Stone (76-80):
Gon. Do you marke that?
Alb. I cannot be so partiall Gonerill,
To the great loue I bear you.
Gon. Pray you content. *What Oswald, hoa?* [*F only*]
You Sir, more knaue then Foole, after your Master.
Foole. Nunkle Lear, Nunkle Lear,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
So the Foole followes after. Exit
Gon. This man hath had good Counsell,
A hundred Knights?
'Tis politike, and safe to let him keepe
At point a hundred Knights: yes, that on euerie dreame,
Each buz, each fancie, each complaint, dislike,
He may enguard his dotage with their powres,
And hold our liues in mercy. Oswald, I say.
Alb. Well you may feare too farre.
Gon. Safer then trust too farre.
Let me still take away the harmes I feare,
Not feare still to be taken. I know his heart,
What he hath vtter'd I haue writ my Sister:
If she sustaine him, and his hundred Knights
When I haue shew'd th'vnfitness.
Enter Steward
How now Oswald?
What haue you writ that letter to my Sister?
Stew. I Madam.
F expands and otherwise alters Q1, which reads:
Gon. Doe you marke that my Lord?
Duke. I cannot bee so partiall Gonerill to the great loue I
beare you,
Gon. Come sir no more, you, more knaue then foole, after
your master?
Foole. Nunckle Lear, Nunckle Lear, tary and take the foole
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
followes after.
Gon. What Oswald, ho. [Big Omission?] Oswald. Here Madam.
What haue you writ this letter to my sister?
Osw. Yes Madam.
I agree these versions present "an interesting and problematical case." Stone argues, in part from unusual F features in the addition between the Fool's exit and Oswald's entry (viz., extra-metrical expletives yes and Well), that the interpolation recovers "a more correct or complete version of the text as transmitted in Q." Eyeskip criteria endorse that conjecture if alternatives (revision, access to other texts) are doubtful. Stone suggests that Q1 copy held the lines much as they are in F:
"Q . . . omitted them by accident. There are difficulties . . . in the way of explaining how the accident may have occurred since the lines as they appear in F have been slightly revised . . . . Goneril's What Oswald, hoa? was transferred to a different context . . . . Oswald's Here Madam has entirely disappeared. It is [likely] the evidence which would satisfactorily explain the . . . 'eyeskip' has been eliminated or obscured." (79)
Suggesting that the explanatory sequence might be conjectured, Stone notes "that the most suspicious lines in the addition are the first and last . . . which we should expect to provide the necessary clues."
Stone is a bit mistaken here, though (as usual) he is very perceptive in suspecting eyeskip. The line beginning the addition is irrelevant; the real clue is the imperative phrase, "What Oswald, ho." If the entire passage stood in Q1 copy, the phrase would first occur as in Q1 (after "after" & after the Fool's departure) and reoccur before "Here Madam" as in Q1. (Remember, the guilty phrase begins in two places but ends up in one). The inference is that F arbitrarily and unmetrically transposed Goneril's summons to earlier dialogue: in Q1 copy it would have come just before the first restored line (Gon. What Oswald, ho. This man hath had good Counsell), where eyeskip would generally originate. The phrase is next represented in the last half-line of the F addition, "How now Oswald?" I agree that it "also suggests interference, though much less clearly."
Oswald's "Here Madam" was certainly in Q1 copy; the compositors are accused not of invention but remarkable faithfulness. Logically, Oswald responds to a summons; if that once again was "What Oswald ho", the eyeskip trap was laid. Identical speech headings and initial phrases induced an omission (including one instance of "What Oswald ho") that, given its size and unimportance, was not worth the task of restoration to Q1 during foul-proofing—too much work would have to be undone. But a reviser with access to omitted lines would naturally return them to the text. Q1 made Lear public property so revision needn't be tied to a theatrical company; but use of Q1 copy presumably involves the printer or publisher. (In view of a possible reprint, which happened after all in F, Okes may have corrected an exemplar of Q1).
Whoever restored the omission knew its cause. If not constrained to reproduce a copy-text (and no one was, in this case) he might try to preclude the identical mistake in transcription or printing. The F changes would be easy matters: move the first phrase out of the way and alter the second to look less like the first. Q1 has no entry for Oswald; by providing a set direction F obviates the repeat call to the steward who no longer announces himself, and "How now" eliminates an awkward repetition (What hoe . . . What haue . . .). F may be responding directly to Q1 omission, including, as Stone notes, "recovery of genuine matter [with] signs that it does not stem from a wholly authentic source." As it "was introduced . . . at some time after the publication of Q, then it is most unlikely that the author himself was responsible" (80). This note, expressed before campaigns positing Shakespeare himself as reviser of Q1, may stoke ideas that Stone wasn't up on textual potentialities. That supposition might be reversed.
For example, Stone notes that Oswald begins life as a "gentleman," is promoted to "steward," gets a name in speech headings only at this passage, and then reverts to "steward." That's the way shorthand does it, as in John of Bordeaux, where names are got from dialogue.

Cumberland County approves shooting range
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) _ Cumberland County has approved a permit for a shooting range complex.
The board of commissioners voted 4-3 Monday night to approve plans for the TigerSwan Range Complex, an outdoor firing range and training site.
Kevin West owns property next to the Tigerswan facility and says he's worried about what would happen if a gun were fired in the wrong direction.
He says his property is only 100 yards from the shooting area.
Economic Development Alliance chairman Chris Bostock says said TigerSwan was heavily recruited to be a part of the county as a military contractor.
Real estate broker Keith Barnes said TigerSwan's presence would hurt property values for property owners in the area.
An attempt to delay approval was rejected.

Family of ferals
By moonshiner420
from Blairsville, Georgia
We have a family of feral cats that were born on our property. This will be their 2nd winter and the heated bowls will help us as much as them. No more wondering where they get water to drink. No more frozen left over food to throw away. They already have a waterproof heated outdoor house to live in as it is. Next year I'm putting in air conditioning for the hot summers. If you're lucky, you next life will be as one of my cats,.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It has saved me so much time!
By The Cat Lady
from Michigan
I use the Outdoor Heated Cat Bowls with the outdoor heated cat house. I used to sit in the window and wait for my cat to show up before I would put food out, to prevent the food from freezing. Sometimes it took hours. Now, with the heated bowls I don't have to wait. I just put the food and water outside and go on about my day. It works for me and I believe the cat perfers it as well. Thank you for the bowls and the house.

The Heated Outdoor Cat Bowls
By Yvie
from Newport, TN
I ordered the heated outdoor cat bowls for my feral kitty to prevent his water and food from freezing. I was constantly bringing his food in and heating it in the microwave. Lots of times he didn't get to eat or drink because everything was frozen.Now, he's a happy, not hungry orphan that we will fully adopt when we get to tame him.
My cat is so happy!

I have a stray kitten on my deck. She is too afraid to come to me, but needs food and water. I also have a warm home for her. She is a little bit less afraid every day. The outdoor dish was a lifesaver!

Loving the Heated Outdoor Cat Bowl
By Crazy Cat Lady!
from Brighton, MI
I care & feed a feral cat who has become so domesticated and dependent on me that I was spending a great deal of time checking on his food and water. With this terribly cold winter, both were frozen and I was throwing out a lot of food, and refreshing water numerous times a day. Now he eats when he wants, and drinks so much more. I was concerned he wouldn't use the bowls, but to my amazement, he jumped right in. I love this product and as long as he's around, we will have one on our porch.
A great new product
By AuntieBean
from Columbus, OH
I am very excited to see this new product. I have outside feral cats and currently use 4 heated water bowls 3 for food and one for water. They require multiple electrical plug ins. This new heated set has one plug and 2 bowls which is much easier to use and clean.

Perfect Purchase
By Kitty Kat 4-z
from Upstate New York
I needed to get heated bowls for the neighborhood feral cat colony I feed during the winter. All the cats adapted to eating and drinking from the bowls and every morning all the food and water are consumed.I have it in a protected area and I think even with our snowy winters I expect it will continue to perform well.

great product!

from Arvada, CO
Perfect for stray cats outdoors when it's below freezing. The soft food dries out a little bit on the part touching the bowl but not bad, much better than not being able to put soft food out at all!

Found a cat scavenging around my home recently. Temperatures down at 8° at night and up to 20 in the daytime. Was not able to bring this feline into my home due to sick cat issues already established inside.Build a shelter for him and was feeding him large amounts of wet food. Cat constantly hungry. He will get a vet visit soon. However, due to the freezing temps the wet food could only be put out when the cat was visually sited. As a nurse I work 12 hour shifts causing me a great deal of angst not knowing if Sammie was waiting and hungry. Saw that he would scrape away at the frozen wet food with no success. Fed him dry food as well and the bowl is always empty, but cats depend on their protein source for hydration and everything else was frozen -even if he wanted to take a drink.Ended up solving this situation with the purchase of this wonderful heated outdoor pet dish set up.Received my order int 2 days. Out of the box into the electrical plug outside, and into the shelter. Immediate heat up has kept water unfrozen, and wet food warm to the touch, which is a huge benefit in these zero cold conditions in helping Sammie stay warm all over.The unit holds two stainless steel bowls, perfect for wet and dry food, they are small, so if this is for a large dog you will need a larger unit. Perfect for cats. One bowl is double the size of the smaller one and comfortably could hold one large dog food can at least. The bowls pop out of the plastic hard resin unit, which holds the heater, and the plug runs out from underneath. Super easy cleanup since you pop the bowls out -take them inside -do a soap and water wash, and they're ready to go. Since the bowls are stainless steel they will retain the heat from hot water wash and stay warm from the heat coming through the resin holder for a longer period of time.Have been plugged in for over two weeks and have not had any issues whatsoever.I believe there is a temperature thermostat which will turn off the heater when not needed, however, this is not something that I've had the opportunity to test, because of the continued cold weather in Pennsylvania.LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!Hope it will last for at least a year, but it was worth having at the price for this winter and the peace of mind it gives me. Would recommend it highly without any reservations.

Roy • As Roy center Brekkott Chapman burst through the doors leading to the locker room, his teammates unleashed a joyous howl that cascaded through the dim Roy High hallways.
Faced with the toughest challenge of the season so far, the Royals' star had done what exceptional players do in crucial games.
Chapman's 22 points, complemented by a dominating defensive performance in the post, led the Royals to a 63-49 win over East.
"It was a huge game," Chapman said. "We hadn't really closed out on a good team so far this year, and that was our best game of the year, I think."
Chapman took control early, establishing himself in the post and leading the Royals on an 18-6 first-quarter surge that yielded a nine-point halftime lead.
Meanwhile, East star and Utah commit Parker Van Dyke had just five points in the first half, as the Royals focused on making the dynamic guard settle for contested shots.
Van Dyke finally started to find his stroke in the fourth, including a pair of 3s, and finished with 15 points. But East never cut the deficit below seven, as Chapman's presence seemed to alter the Leopards' potent offense.
East came into the game on a nine-game winning streak and had established itself as one of the top contenders in Class 4A. Chapman knew the matchup would be a measuring stick for the Royals (8-3), who were looking to vault themselves into the same tier as the Leopards and join the discussion of 4A's best teams.
"We're a team to be reckoned with," Chapman said. "We've [lost] close games with really good teams, but we had to close out against a good team like that."
It was also a chance for Chapman, a junior who has offers from BYU, Utah and a handful of other Pac-12 schools, to go head-to-head with Van Dyke, who came in averaging 27 points and guarded Chapman for much of the game.
"It was a little hyped up. It got me a little more competitive this game," Chapman said. "I could tell [Van Dyke] was a little more competitive, too."
O Roy's Brekkot Chapman, who has numerous Division I offers, leads the Royals past East's Parker Van Dyke, a Utah commit, and the Leopards.
• Roy jumps out to a 12-point lead after one quarter.

Scene Info
'Heads or tails?' asks Vinnie D'Angelo when he and Matthew Ford find Dominic Sol prone and ready on a bench in the Verboten sex club. Ford calls head and shoves his fat cock into Sol's hungry mouth while D'Angelo goes to work on Sol's fat round ass. Sol deep throats Ford while D'Angelo eats Sol's ass, preparing him for a major anal invasion. The top men flip Sol around, allowing D'Angelo to get his huge tool worked over while Ford power-fucks Sol's ass. D'Angelo moves around to get a better look at the ass-fucking action and shoves his fat fingers into Sol's ass next to Ford's cock. Next D'Angelo pushes Ford out of the way and mounts Sol, shoving his cock deep into his ass. He rides him hard then lays on his back, allowing Sol to bounce on his fat rod. D'Angelo sits on Sol's face, jacking off while Sol rim's his ass. All three men work their cocks into a frenzy, finally blowing their loads all over each other's sweaty bodies.

GSA Launches New Express Program to Speed Contract Award Process
January 17, 2007
Contact: Jon Anderson (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC — The U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service will accept offers under the much anticipated Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Express Program immediately, per a commitment by GSA Administrator Lurita Doan to get a basic GSA Schedule within 30 days.
Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Jim Williams explains industry partners aren't the only ones to benefit from this program. "Our customer agencies will also enjoy more rapid access to state-of-the-art goods and services from quality businesses, allow greater focus on high value and risk contracts, and increase savings to the American people," said Williams.
The MAS Express Program speeds the processing period between application and award for Federal MAS contracts, and GSA will strive to achieve 30-day contract awards for eligible vendors within the Program's first year. The present process averages 120 days depending on industry partner eligibility and completeness of applications. While initially open to selected items from five of 37 MAS Schedules, the goal of the Express Program is to open all to this expedited process. The program's core consists of the comprehensive and mandatory Pathway to Success education program for all industry partners, a simplified set of basic eligibility criteria, and the Schedule Program Express Evaluation Desk (SPEED) to consolidate all intake and initial reviews of offers. These three initiatives will standardize and integrate the current process, already promising greater industry partner participation. GSA anticipates as many as 1000 offers under the MAS Express Program in the first year alone.
Visit the GSA website at www.gsa.gov/masexpress for additional information.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA's Multiple Award Schedules feature more than 17,500 of the best businesses offering more than 10 million products and services to government, from environmentally friendly cleaning products to sophisticated information technology solutions. Negotiated by GSA for best prices and rapid service, Multiple Award Schedules offer unparalleled value for both users and the American taxpayer.

Postdocs Honored with Glenn Center Fellowships
Seven Salk postdocs have received a total of $840,000 in research grants through the Institute's Glenn Center to pursue a research topic central to aging that involves at least two laboratories. They will each receive $60,000 for two years to cover their salaries, benefits and equipment.
The Glenn Center for Aging Research was established in January with a $5 million gift from the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research. Led by Andy Dillin, the Glenn Center draws from nine of Salk's leading laboratories specializing in genetic analysis, stem cell biology and metabolism research to address the overarching goal of defining a healthy lifespan, or healthspan, and answer one of the most elusive questions in biology: Is there a defined biological process of aging that is universal to all organisms?
The new Glenn Center Fellows are: Laure Crabbe, Toby Franks, Star Lee, Yair Pilpel, Lei Wang, Jamie Whyte, Katja Lamia.
In related news, researcher Liming Pei, who works in Ron Evans' lab, received a fellowship from the Francis Family Foundation. As a 2009 Parker B. Francis Fellow, Liming will receive $156,000 over three years in support of his research, which focuses on embryonic development of the lung.
Originally from China, Pei graduated from UCLA with a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Pathology in 2006 and joined the Evans lab that same year.

The head valve is one of the major components in a nail gun. When the trigger is depressed there is greater pressure below the head valve plunger than above it. The plunger rises up, and the compressed air makes its way to the piston head. When air pressure is greater above the head valve plunger than it is below the piston, air is released and air travels through the valve, forcing the piston/driver downwards to drive the nail/staple. There are o-rings inside and outside of the head valve. If the head valve leaks, try replacing the o-rings first, then the valve itself, as it will wear down over time.
This item fits the following models:

Today's highlight:
On March 8, 1917, Russia's "February Revolution" (so called because of the Old Style calendar used by Russians at the time) began with rioting and strikes in Petrograd; the result was the abdication of the Russian monarchy in favor of a provisional government.
On this date:
In 1702, England's Queen Anne acceded to the throne upon the death of King William III.
In 1854, U.S. Commodore Matthew C. Perry made his second landing in Japan; within a month, he concluded a treaty with the Japanese.
In 1862, during the Civil War, the ironclad CSS Virginia rammed and sank the USS Cumberland and heavily damaged the USS Congress, both frigates, off Newport News, Va.
In 1874, the 13th president of the United States, Millard Fillmore, died in Buffalo, N.Y., at age 74.
In 1917, the U.S. Senate voted to limit filibusters by adopting the cloture rule.
In 1930, the 27th president of the United States, William Howard Taft, died in Washington at age 72.
In 1942, Imperial Japanese forces occupied Yangon in Burma during World War II.
In 1963, a military coup in Syria brought the Baath Party to power.
In 1965, the United States landed its first combat troops in South Vietnam as 3,500 Marines were brought in to defend the U.S. air base at Da Nang.
In 1971, Joe Frazier defeated Muhammad Ali by decision in what was billed as "The Fight of the Century" at Madison Square Garden in New York. Silent film comedian Harold Lloyd died in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 77.
In 1983, in a speech to the National Association of Evangelicals convention in Orlando, Fla., President Ronald Reagan referred to the Soviet Union as an "evil empire."
In 1988, 17 soldiers were killed when two Army helicopters from Fort Campbell, Ky., collided in mid-flight.

Too often, couples have trouble dealing with issues involving children, family, jobs, housekeeping… . They may also love each other but not feel loved by each other. The five channels of love are described and clients are aided in discerning what their own are, and how to get on the same channel. Also, problem solving is taught on a win-win basis; i.e., no walking away from issues or settling for compromise. Dr. Frederick has been effective in doing this since 1971.

Samsung Electronics has announced it is mass producing 100GB and 200GB solid state drives (SSDs) for use as the primary storage in enterprise storage systems. The first recipient of the drive will be EMC, it said.
EMC collaborated with Samsung to qualify Samsung's new enterprise-class SSDs for EMC's midrange storage portfolio, according to Joel Schwartz, senior VP, Common Storage Platform Operations at EMC.
Samsung started producing its 3.5-inch 100GB and 200GB SSDs in September. By using 40nm-class single-level-cell (SLC) NAND flash chips and a controller that fully utilizes a 3Gb/s SATA interface, the Samsung SSDs process random read commands at 47,000 input/outputs per second (IOPS) and random writes at 29,000 IOPS, compared to a 15K RPM HDD which has an IOPS rate of 350, a 130X and 80X gain respectively in random IOPS read and write performance.
In addition, the new Samsung 200GB SSDs read data sequentially at 260MB/s and write it sequentially at 245MB/s, throughput that maximizes the SATA 3Gb/s interface bus speed.
Samsung claimed it now has the industry's widest range of densities of enterprise SSD products for server and storage applications including 2.5-inch 50, 60, 100 and 120GB SSDs and 3.5-inch 100GB and 200GB SSDs.

Article critical of GOP health care bill vanishes from WSJ website
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
Last night if you went to this link, you would have seen this Wall Street Journal story headlined "GOP Health Bill Gives Insurers More Leeway":
This morning, however, if you attempted using the very same link, you'd find an entirely different story, by an entirely different reporter, under an entirely different headline.
Why did the Journal replace an article that simply pointed out that the yet to be released House GOP health care plan would benefit insurers with a piece about how House Democrats were working to deal with the issues of "abortion" and "illegal immigrants" in their reform plan?
If you run a search for the headline of the original Journal article, you'll get a bunch of links directing you to it, though none of them actually send you to the original story. The links are either broken, to different stories or direct you to the new Journal piece focusing on House Democrats.

Post Employment Medical Questionnaire
Not everyone is asked to fill in a Post Employment Medical Questionnaire and there are three main situations where you would be sent one:
some of the roles at Hampshire County Council involve working with children or vulnerable groups, or physical work (i.e. lifting, manual handling) or involve working in potentially hazardous environments (i.e. working with water).
if there are questions that are raised as a result of the health declaration form completed (i.e. you are currently undergoing treatment for a medical condition)
where previous sickness absence levels exceed corporate thresholds, which would trigger the completion of a Post Employment Medical Questionnaire
In all of these instances we would ask you to complete a Post Employment Medical Questionnaire that is returned to us in a sealed envelope and passed directly onto our Occupational Health Unit (OHU) where it is reviewed confidentially by trained medical professionals.
Once OHU have received the form then they will follow a number of routes:
once reviewing the information you have provided they assess no further action and the employment offer can be pursued
they may need to contact you to just clarify some points in the information
they may ask to see your full medical records or for you to come in for a medical assessment.
The purpose of this process is to ensure that we do not employ someone who, even after reasonable adjustments may have been made, is not physically capable of delivering the duties of the role, and therefore potentially putting people in the community or people using the services provided by the County Council at risk, or in a role which will cause or aggravate an individual's previous or existing medical condition.
Conditional offers of employment may also be withdrawn where declared levels of sickness absence (in the previous 12 month period) exceed corporate thresholds, and appropriate consideration has been given to the reasons/circumstances surrounding the sickness absence.

One more test to try... use larger ping packets. Try packets that are around

Guess it depends on how they work and what "fudge factors" they have built
in. My understanding of traffic shaping is that it basically works by
throttling the acks to cause the other side to slow it's sending... If you
lied to it to say you had a bigger channel than you do, you might find the
delay goes away... I've heard that if there isn't a margin of error all
(which I think is how some of them work) that there CAN be momentary
interruptions in service due to saturation of the link - but the way this
one is designed to work, it should NEVER saturate completely, but that does
have some overhead - I think.
> BTW, thanks for following up with me on this! It's very appreciated!
No worries - it helps me learn too. ;-)

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis.
Trichomonas vaginitis; STD - trichomonas vaginitis; STI - trichomonas vaginitis; Sexually transmitted infection - trichomonas vaginitis
Trichomoniasis is found worldwide. In the United States, the highest number of cases are seen in women between age 16 and 35. Trichomonas vaginalis is spread through sexual contact with an infected partner. This include penis-to-vagina intercourse or vulva-to-vulva contact. The parasite cannot survive in the mouth or rectum.
The disease can affect both men and women, but the symptoms differ between the two groups. The infection usually does not cause symptoms in men and goes away on its own in a few weeks.
Occasionally, some men with trichomoniasis may develop prostatitis or epididymitis from the infection.
In women, a pelvic examination shows red blotches on the vaginal wall or cervix. A wet prep (microscopic examination of discharge) may show signs of inflammation or infection-causing organisms in vaginal fluids. A pap smear may also diagnose the condition.
The disease can be hard to diagnose in men. Men are treated if the infection is diagnosed in any of their sexual partners. Men may also be treated if they have ongoing symptoms of urethral burning or itching despite treatment for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
The antibiotic metronidazole is commonly used to cure the infection. A newer drug, called Tinidazole may be used.
You should not drink alcohol while taking the medicine and for 48 hours afterwards. Doing so can cause severe nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
Avoid sexual intercourse until treatment has been completed. Sexual partners should be treated at the same time, even if they have no symptoms. If you have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection, you should be screened for other ones.
With proper treatment, the outcome is likely to be excellent.
Long-term infection may cause changes in the tissue on the cervix. These changes may be seen on a routine Pap smear. In such cases, treatment should be started and the Pap smear repeated 3 to 6 months later.
Treatment of trichomoniasis helps prevents the spread of the disease to sexual partners. Trichomoniasis is common among persons with HIV.
This condition in pregnant women has been linked to premature birth. More research is needed.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if any unusual vaginal discharge or irritation is noted.
Also call for an appointment if you suspect that you have been exposed to the disease.
A monogamous sexual relationship with a known healthy partner can help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections, including trichomoniasis.
Other than total abstinence, condoms remain the best and most reliable protection against sexually transmitted infections. Condoms must be used consistently and correctly to be effective.

'"People take a lot of pride of being from Buffalo and everything associated with it."'

Lee Stempniak coming home to Buffalo
Back alive with five
'"We're vastly improved in a lot of areas, but we're going to have a lot of tests coming up," said Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller, who won his fourth straight decision. "It only gets harder during the year, and we can't just accept that this is good hockey we're playing. We have to keep going."'
Campbell, Spacek skate as top pair
'It's proof Ruff has confidence in the pair, confidence he didn't have last year. It's easy to see why. Campbell entered the game against the Capitals with a team-high 13 assists, while Spacek led the blue-liners with five goals despite missing eight games with a shoulder injury. They were a combined plus-3.'

'Hecht nearly had a hat trick, but Washington goalie Olie Kolzig robbed him from right in front during the third period.'
Buffalo 3, Washington 1
'Buffalo reclaimed the lead at the 8:07 mark of the second. Daniel Paille stole the puck between the circles and quickly passed it to Hecht, who was perched in front of Kolzig. Hecht snapped a wrister that beat Kolzig on the stick-side.'
Hecht Leads Sabres To Fifth Straight Win
'For the fifth straight game the Sabres scored first as Jochen Hecht wrapped around the net and banked it home halfway through the first period.'
Danke Schoen!
'And just like that the Buffalo Sabres are back to being a dominating hockey team.'
Tuesday's Rochester Coverage
Amerks lose Sekera to Buffalo, Florida reassigns MacDonald (Amerks.com)
Amerks to spend weekend on the road (Amerks.com)
Sabres start to find themselves; and the light of winning
'Darkest Before Dawn: Lindy Ruff said after the second game of the season that the Sabres had some players who were "trying to find their way." After the seventh game, a loss in Montreal, he said his team might even need another 15-20 games to get it together. Turns out the Sabres DID need some time to figure out who they were.'
Amerks lose Sekera to Buffalo, Florida reassigns MacDonald
'Sekera receives his second NHL recall of the season after registering one goal and five assists for six points in 10 games with the Amerks. With Buffalo, the Bojnice, Slovakia, native has one assist and six penalty minutes (PIM) in 11 games. Sekera is expected to dress in tonight's National Hockey League contest against the Washington Capitals.'
Sabres standing tall after streak
'"Winning's a whole different attitude and atmosphere," Sabres forward Andrew Peters said. "It's great to be back in a place where we should have been from the start. I think we're still not satisfied with where we are. It's just a start, hopefully."'
Monday's Washington Coverage
Thibault gets zeroed in
'"I just felt comfortable out there," he said. "I didn't know that it was going to be a shutout, but I knew that I was going to play a solid game. But the guys were so good in front of me that it was a pleasure to be there."'
Miller lightening his leadership duties
'"I'm trying to focus more on my game," Miller said. "Early in the season, I was probably too worried about what everybody else was trying to do, trying to be bigger than my role. I was trying to do too many things at once. I can't be a captain-type leader and talk to guys at all times. I have to go out and just do my job."'

Mike Nicholos builds a fire and lays down on a bear skin rug for a quiet evening alone with his giant cock. He kneads the bulge in his jeans until he can't stand it; then he tears them open, pulling out his shaft and stroking it to a full 10+ inches. Peter Bishop shows up to help his buddy out. Bishop teases Nichols with his muscular, perfect round ass, which Nichols slaps and mock-fucks through Bishop's long underwear. Nichols gets the boy's ass exposed and begins to tease it, slapping it with his rock hard monster. Bishop sits on Nichol's face, his ass puckering while Nichols licks it. Bishop starts to deep throat Nichols and gags - but he doesn't stop, eventually taking the whole bone down to the balls. Now both men are ready for the fuck of a lifetime - and get it. They move from the floor to a nearby rocking chair, where Nichols sits and Bishop straddles, one leg on each arm. He holds on to the back of the chair, causing each thrust of Nichol's tool to go deeper into his ass. Finally Nichols throws Bishop on the floor and nails him until he pulls out and drowns Bishop in a pool of cum.

In the World of Greyhawk, Ulaa is the goddess of hills, mountains, and gemstones. Her holy symbol is a mountain with a ruby heart; she places rubies in the earth as gifts to miners, who do her husband's work.
Ulaa is depicted as a dwarven woman with gnomish facial features. She wields a mighty hammer called Skullringer.
Ulaa is the wife of Bleredd, and an ally of Beory.
Ulaa is worshipped by humans, dwarves, gnomes, and other benevolent races who dwell in hills and mountains. She is well-known in the Ulek States, especially in the Principality of Ulek. Non-humans who worship Ulaa often integrate her into their own pantheons.
Temples and ritualsEdit
Worship sevices to Ulaa include rhythmic hammering on stone, chanted hymns, and displays of gemstones and minerals.

Air pollution is a national problem. Imagine leaving your house every morning and having to wear a face mask and gloves, worrying that the air you breathe and everything you touch is toxic. That is an example of the extreme, but it if the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) doesn't regulate and control where factories are built and what they are dispersing into the ecosystem near towns and cities, wearing a face mask and gloves may become the norm.
National Air Pollution Problems
Lead and arsenic are being released into the air in Laureldale, Pa. by Exide, a company that recycles car batteries. Exide was recently cited with 161 violations and fined $436,000, but did that change its practices?
Residents are still complaining because of the smell, but it's the unseen hazards that are putting this community at risk.
The EPA says toxic air has dropped by 40 percent when compared to 20 years ago, but there is still an issue with companies violating regulations. The EPA has a watch list of Clean Air Act violators and as recently as this summer the list capped at around 400 companies across the United States.
Poisoned Places: Toxics in the Air, on the Ground
Air Pollution in Hayden, Arizona
When it comes to companies being careless about toxic emissions, small Arizona towns are being affected by bad air. Residents of Hayden, Ariz. are are concerned about the health risks that come with living in Hayden and are afraid to let their children play outside.
One resident relocated after Asarco bought her home and demolished it after it was determined to be severely contaminated with chemicals emitted by the copper mining and smelting company.
The EPA tested the soil in Hayden and found that lead and arsenic contaminated dozens of family yards close to the smelting operations. The company was required to clean it up, but according to Hayden residents, ASARCO covered the contaminated soil with landscaping rocks.
The air pollution condition for the residents in Hayden, Ariz. is a catch-22. The community was created by the mining company and many residents in the community work for ASARCO. They don't want to lose the jobs the company provides, they just want ASARCO to clean up its act.

By Jonathan Bernstein
Special to The Washington Post.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., engaged in a long argument on the Senate floor Thursday morning over Republican obstruction and Democratic plans to do something about it.
In practical terms, this is a game of chicken. Republicans the minority party want to block as many presidential nominees as possible. Senate rules allow that. The only real weapon Democrats have is to threaten to change Senate rules so that simple majorities can confirm those nominations. This is a weapon Democrats are reluctant to use, and it remains unclear at what point they will decide there is too much obstruction and act. And so Republicans will keep pushing right up to where they think the line is, while Democrats threaten to go nuclear any minute.
That's okay, as far as it goes.
But on the merits, McConnell gave away the game twice during the debate. At one point he referred to a "60-vote hurdle" and later talked about how few nominees are "likely to have problems getting cloture."
That's the problem, right there. Since January 2009, McConnell has treated filibusters as routine and universal. That's brand-new. Executive-branch nominees had been filibustered before but only in rare cases. Almost all the time, under all previous presidents, executive-branch nominees didn't have to get cloture; they needed to get only a simple majority.
This is how it should be. There are reasonable justifications agree with them or not for supermajority requirements on at least some legislation and some lifetime-appointment judgeships. I'm not aware of any good arguments for needing 60 votes on any executive-branch nominations, let alone making that the standard for all of those selections. For years, everyone has believed that presidents should basically be entitled to the personnel they want and that the confirmation process was basically an opportunity for senators to have some leverage over what happens in the departments and agencies, after which nominees would normally be confirmed. This system worked reasonably well, and there's no reason it shouldn't be the system now, even if Democrats have to change the formal rules to restore how things used to work.
What's happening now is simply about how far Democrats are willing to go to accommodate what is absolutely unprecedented obstruction of executive branch nominations without invoking their right to impose a rules change.
On the merits, however, McConnell is dead wrong. He spoke Thursday about whether Reid would ruin the Senate by going nuclear, but the ones who are actually threatening ruin are Republicans who insist on a 60-vote Senate and, more generally, Republicans who constantly defy Senate norms to gain short-term advantage.
