St. Louis (Apr. 16)
Rabbi Adolph Rosentretter, 71 died here today of heart disease. Until his recent resignation on account of health he was the spiritual leader of the Brith Sholom congregation. Rabbi Rosentretter was the founder and first president of the orthodox Old Folks Home and one of the founders of the Jewish Hospital.
He was born in Gollants, Germany, and came to St. Louis in 1884. Until 1911 he was rabbi of the B'Nai Amoon congregation.

When Americans are asked whether they believe physicians should be able to legally "end [a] patient's life by some painless means," 7 out of 10 (69%) say yes - although only 58% say they support a doctor assisting "the patient to commit suicide," according to a new Gallup poll.
There is still a stigma associated with suicide in the U.S.; Gallup found in a May 2014 poll that only 19% of Americans believe suicide is "morally acceptable."
Strong majorities of the U.S. population have supported euthanasia for over 20 years, but the percentage of support is strongly linked to Americans' church attendance. 48% of Americans who attend church weekly support a doctor "ending a patient's life by some painless means;" whereas 74% of near-weekly/monthly attendees support it. The idea finds strongest support (82%) among those who attend church less often.
Since 1990, the majority of Americans have supported euthanasia.
When Gallup began collecting data on this question in 1947, only 37% supported doctor's ending a patient's life.

What's Being Recycled on Campus
"the starting point for a better world is the belief that it is possible." —norman cousins, journalist, professor, and world peace advocate
Single Stream
Single Stream Recycling includes all of the following: Paper of any color, size, or type — newspapers, magazines, file folders, copy paper, junk mail, cardboard, pizza boxes (so long as the leftovers are eaten first), you name it! — can be recycled on campus. Remember: "If you can rip it, you can recycle it." However, used paper towels, napkins, and tissues cannot be recycled. Look for the blue recycling bins located around campus and inside the buildings.
Although bath tissues and paper hand towels cannot be recycled, Boston College uses EcoLogo-certified bathroom tissue and hand towels from Kruger Products. Four types of bath tissue and paper towels are currently in use in restrooms across campus, and the GreenQuality promise assures that the products are manufactured under the highest possible sustainability standard. The products in use contain 100% recycled fiber (RF) and 88% post-consumer (PC) content.
Bottles and Plastics - Just about every plastic, metal, or glass container can be recycled on campus. Everything except Styrofoam and plastic bags can be recycled.
Water bottles, soda cans, tuna cans, or iced tea bottles can be tossed into the single Stream containers found throughout campus and in the residence halls.
Recycling Containers
All rooms on campus have personal recycling containers, and suites have an additional bin to encourage even more recycling on campus. This makes it easier for students to recycle in their rooms, then bring the material to the proper receptacles located in each residential building.
For what to do with used printer ink cartridges, see the Information Technology Services recycling page.
Only rechargeable batteries and button batteries need to be recycled. To find out if your battery is recyclable and where you can recycle it, visit the Environmental Health & Safety page.
Computers & Electronics
Not sure what to do with that old busted printer? Bring it to Information Technology Services (ITS) and have them recycle it for you. For more information, see the "Out with the Old" section of our Information Technology page, or visit Environmental Health & Safety's Special Recycling page.
BC CLEAN is one of the many ways Boston College helps the environment — and the local community. At the end of the year, students have opportunities to donate unwanted items through the BC Clean Program. Old furniture, clothing, shoes, and food are collected and given to those in need of them.
Construction and Demolition Waste (C&D) - Boston College recycles as much as possible when beginning work on new projects or when renovating older buildings. Material used or being replaced in construction projects is specified to be energy saving, especially for certain types of mechanical equipment. Recycling goals for future large-scale projects are projected to be around 85% or higher.
Carpet Recycling
Boston College also has a carpet recycling program. Certain types of carpeting can be recycled instead of going to the landfill.
What not to recycle
Unfortunately, not everything can be recycled. Items such as glass contaminated with dirt or food waste, ceramics, crystals, and incandescent light bulbs should not go in your recycling bin.

roberta Inglet
Hello, my great great grandmother was Maria Gallegos. I do not know much about her since she died in childbirth, but her husband was Michael Lynn. I know that my great grandmother was born in Trinidad, Colorado. The story went that she was from Spain, and he was a govt worker. I found him in the army in Fort Buchanan by Tuscon, Arizona in 1860, and I know that my great grandmother Mary Lynn was born in 1862 in Trinidad. I know he bought land from a Bacca in Huerfano, area and was there in 1870. If any of this sounds familiar please post. Thanks, Roberta
Sebastian Gallego
I'm a 3rd generation Gallego in New Jersey. My great grandfather emigrated to the US from Colombia in 1907 but we have tracked down him and some of our relatives all the way to Spain and Portugal. His name was Vincencio Gallego and He had 4 brothers Mario de Jesus, Pedro Marin, Lucas Tiberio and 2 sisters Roberta Fatima and Aliria. All born in Galicia. If any of the names sounds familiar please post.
Gonzalo Gallegos Jr.
My father Gonzalo Gallegos was born and Raised in Zacatecus Mexico. He told me as a child that the little town he was raised in was called The Portrero de Gallegos. Although I do not have any further information the town's name was confirmed to me by my cousin who also grew up there as a child. I was wondering if there is any more information on how my distant relatives settled in that region.

Am i the only Gallegos with atleast 8 generations born and raised in america? lmao...joshua allen gallegos is my name
Josh Gallegos
correction, USA lol
The majority of Gallegos' in the southwest I believe originated from two brothers who migrated from Mexico (New Spain) into what is now New Mexico sometime around 1650. These two brothers were Jose and Antonio Gallego (my direct ancestor). After the reconquest Antonio never returned to New Mexico, but Jose did. As did all of their children. And thus created a very large contingent of Gallegos all over the southwest.

Deer Lakes cuts down on chatter, continues to win in Section 3-AA
Compared to previous seasons, less bravado-laden chatter comes from the dugout occupied by Deer Lakes' baseball team these days.
But there's no lack of self-assurance among the Lancers (10-2, 8-0).
Slightly more reserved than their recent predecessors, the players are in the midst of a statement-making run. They've won nine in a row, and with a two-game lead in Section 3-AA, they're in position to become section champions for a third straight season.
"Over the past couple years, we've been a really obnoxious team," said senior Kevin Begley, a three-season starting infielder. "This year, we're a lot more low-key. We're a lot quieter. But we still support each other and have each other's backs."
Part of the change is due to the personalities of the leaders.
Two losses in the season's first three games provided the players additional reasons to embrace humility. Deer Lakes lost, 3-2, to Riverview and fell, 9-5, to Indiana two days later.
"Coach told us that a couple of the players, myself included, might've had too much swagger and too much confidence," Begley said. "We kind of toned that down a bit and have come to practice ready to work hard, and we have a different mindset when we're playing games. That's the big thing for us: Playing with a chip on our shoulder instead of looking back on what players like me and (senior Adam) Fredley did last year and the noise we made."
If Deer Lakes maintains its streak through the rest of the season, it'll surpass the win totals of the 2011 and 2012 section championship teams, which went 13-5 and 11-9, respectively. The 2011 team went 11-1 in Section 3, while last season's group went 9-3 to finish in a three-way tie with Freeport and Burrell.
A double-digit win streak might also eliminate the underdog status within the WPIAL that coaches and players believe Deer Lakes has yet to shed.
"I always have confidence in our kids — always — but I wouldn't say the rest of the WPIAL does, and that's fine with us," coach Jon Pedrosky said. "It's nice to get under the radar a little bit. We've had a little success the last few years, and the kids definitely deserve the credit, but I still think we're maybe a little underrated."
Hopes of a section title hinge on Deer Lakes' defense and its small ball-oriented offense. The Lancers have two one-run wins and two two-run victories.
"Close and low-scoring, those are our kinds of games," junior infielder Todd Coleman said. "We need to work on our bats a little and make sure we (mentally) stay in the games until the end."
Deer Lakes' maturation from middle-of-the-pack program to perennial power is ongoing. Handling a lengthy win streak is the latest test in the process.
"I've seen it before with our previous teams: We get on these winning streaks, and we start relaxing at practice, taking it a little easy, acting like we've already done something," Begley said. "I think as leaders, we're ready to keep that in check and remind everyone that our main goals haven't been reached yet."

I've been to Spicy & Tasty plenty of times, yet have never remembered seeing any babies/toddlers there. Was thinking about heading there for a Father's Day lunch with my 14-month old son after hitting the Queens Botanical Garden - do they have high chairs available? Not necessarily worried about finding him food to eat there, we can bring his own.
If not, any other Flushing spots that would be baby-friendly, and are at least as reasonably spacious as S&T?

Exclusive Flight Poster Touches Down
Robert Zemeckis' latest gets a teaser
A new international poster for Robert Zemeckis' latest, Flight, has arrived online and Empire has an exclusive first look below.
Taking pride of place is the star of the show, Denzel Washington, one of few actors in Hollywood with enough gravitas to play a character who can land a plane upside down with no engine... while drunk (kind of, in a way, possibly).
Telling the tale of an airline pilot who miraculously lands said disintegrating plane, Zemeckis' return to live-action cinema takes an even more dramatic turn as it's revealed that his hero, Captain William Whitaker, has some secrets that he doesn't want revealed. Secrets like his drinking problem and the fact his bloodstream contained high levels of alcohol at the time of the accident.
Below Washington's Whitaker is a picture of the airliner, as well as The Queen's Nose's Sherlock Holmes' Kelly Reilly, as the film's female lead, Don Cheadle as Captain William Whitaker's lawyer and John Goodman doing an incredible impression of what Walter Sobchak would look like if he suddenly turned into the Dude.
For more proof of Goodman's Dude-ification (and much more, of course), be sure to watch the trailer for Flight below.
With a script by Real Steel's John Gatins and Melissa Leo and Bruce Greenwood also on board, Flight looks like it could see Zemeckis shaking off the disappointment of Mars Needs Moms. It'll land in UK cinemas on January 25, 2013.

LISTEN: DJ Goofy Whitekid's Weekly Mix Series
New music this week from Pharrell & Daft Punk, as "Gust Of Wind" leaked prior to Pharrell's album release... besides being a Daft Punk fan, I'm really feeling the low-key vibe on it. I played the Avicii "Addicted To You" this week for some friends, and they all asked if it was Adele on the track... probably a good sign, see what you think of it in the Hit Mix. EDM star Showtek makes an appearance this week with "Booyah," heard this song at every festival I've been to the past 3 months and it's still a banger. Clean Bandit has the #1 song on UK iTunes and I got my hands on a remix, really interested in what you think of it. And on the remix tip, the Shakira and Rihanna track "Can't Remember To Forget You" gets the remix treatment courtesy of my friends The Jumpsmokers, and Kid Ink jumps on Aloe Blacc's smash "The Man."

December 2, 2000 (idea)
See all of December 2, 2000, there are 20 more in this node.
Return to December 2, 2000 (idea)
|Hammy -- I think that [Tolstoy]'s observation on happy family's applies here. Happy people are all shiny happy in the same way. Why write about what everyone (at least everyone happy) all ready knows? [OTHO] sad/depressed/miserable ppl are s/d/m in their own unique way -- hence something original and easily nodable.
Personally I node day logs when I'm depressed so that the people around me don't have to hear my rants. Which brings me to my next point
Our good lord am I bored!!! Not depressed or particularly sad, but pecking out this [node] is the most exciting thing of done all day. But that's my fault.

Im blind in my right eye and wear glasses for my left eye can i get my drivers license in the state of ct? If so how and what do i have to do?
Are there any issues for a CDL A driver to use no line bifocal lenses? I heard one time from a doctor that there was an issue with no line for truck drivers because of the visibility out of the sides. Can anyone give me any information on this?
Question. I have had my CDL for 35 years now. Six years ago I had a torn retina. In short I lost sight in left eye.I still have my CDL license but not a medical card. I was told by FMCSA that there is a grandfather clause in the state of Pa. and that if you had had your license before 1995 you would fall under this clause. I am trying to acquire my medical card because of this.Does anyone have any type of information on who I should contact from the DOT of Pa.

Rich Eisen from NFL Network's Total Access sits down on Niners cam and talks with quarterback Alex Smith.
Smith on Niners Cam
Common' lets all just have it out….. One of you writer's just simply put >> Shaun Hill or Alex Smith? >>> State your argument and reasoning…… And have the fan's lay it out……..
I'll start with mine! Common' Hill without question…… 7 – 3 as a starter >>> Hummm almost 9 – 1 >> Remember the Arizona coaching fowl up at the with a half yard to go. Chances are we would of and should of won that game. And how about that Dolphins game that came down to the last play or the one big pass play that beat the defense. Hill had us in that game as well, he played well enough to win that game if it weren't even for that one blown coverage in that Dolphin game. And the argument of, "Alex has had a different OC every year" Hummm…. So has Hill, also add a couple more teams to that list as well. How about this one "Alex was blossoming under Norv Turner" Hummm …. that year, 7 wins for Alex in 16 games. Hill 7 wins in his first 10 games. And Alex's 2007 eeee…. lets not even go there. At Least Hill won 2 of the 5 games the niners won that year….. Simply Hill….
To follow up with that 07′ season Alex had 2 wins and 7 losses before getting hurt. And the other win came from trent dilfer in 07′. Some other interesting facts >>> Shaun Hill's first start back in 07′ >> Against the Bangles with chad johnson, hushmazada,chris henry and Carson Palmer at QB. Who would you of picked to win that game >> And guess who won? Not bad for a first start >> Then followed up the nexted week with a win against Garcia, Clayton and company of the Buccaneers.
I just want Alex to win because he gives us more of a promising future at QB. He was the 1st pick and is motivated to prove people wrong. Also has the physical tools at QB position just has to execute. Shaun has bounced around a lot and people dont consider him a 'franchise QB'. Although, if Shaun can have a strong season (20+TD,80-100QBRating,10-18INT,3000+yds). If either Alex or Shaun can do this then he will be resigned to a long term extension since both expire after 2010 season.
I approve of this post
Good points Pundit, and it is fair to say that either QB would deserve that extension base on those numbers. But I would throwe in wins as well, which would show a good game manager.
You are a dumb – human being.
1.) "he gives us more of a promising future at QB" – So does my son and he's not even born yet.
2.) "He was the 1st pick and is motivated to prove people wrong" – It doesn't matter if you were picked 1st or last, if you're an athlete, you're motived to prove people wrong. Also, if you get tested for AIDS and it says positive – you're motived to prove people wrong.
3.) "(Hill)has bounced around a lot and people dont consider him a 'franchise QB'" – No Shit but people say that about Alex Smith? (Really… You asked that?)
4.) "Although, if Shaun can have a strong season (20+TD,80-100QBRating,10-18INT,3000+yds). If either Alex or Shaun can do this then he will be resigned to a long term extension since both expire after 2010 season." – If I was in the NFL, threw for 20+ TD's, 10 INT's and 3000 yds, I'd get a Pro Bowl vote. (Not that I'd win – but I'd get a vote)
Niner Nation, I apologize if castrating John on his comments comes as a bit of a surprise/douchebaggery but seriously.
I will give you this John, Alex Smith may physically have the height (6'4″) and be a little shy on the weight (217 lbs) but you completely neglected to think about the mental capability required to understand a NFL playbook in addition to the plethora of defensive schemes that an NFL QB encounters.
Alex Smith can do things none of us can do. He's a QB for a Pro Football franchise that prides itself on having the greatest Qb of all time play for them. However, as a fan and as a guy with a keyboard, John, Niner Pundit & Niner Paul – you all need to get in your Toyota Prius and yellow convertable Miatta and drive until you realize the error in your ways…
Lets just talk snaps >> Each snap that mind is challenged to execute moving the offense >> The mind has to respond in the regardless of its past (Plays, coaching, training, preperation, etc.) The bottom line again execute, move the offense and wins. Shaun in real game situations has had 367 pass attempts, Alex 800. Alex, has more twice the number of real attemps, AKA more experience. If we took alex's first 400 attemps it wouldn't even be close. Lets say I'll give you all of Alex's 05' and 06' his record 9 wins and 14 losses and that with 240 more attemps for alex. If I throw in 07' it gets uglier. Every Alex fan argues promise, potential, upside, and aren't ready for the word bust. Personally I like facts, offensive movement, and most of all wins! I even believe that Shaun can as a team player get us a Super Bowl, ala Trent Dilfer who I might add Hill replaced. Which mean it takes the whole team and all phases. Research what Hill did for Maryland there first winning season in so many years and took them to a BCS for the first time under a first year coach, and picked up from a JC cause no big school wanted him as a QB, Hummmmm sound so familiar. But he's here now and happy about that cause i'm happy about wins and as a diehard Niner fan I havn't been this happy in a while. Shaun has got something to prove too!!!! Go Shaun Super Bowl Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this comment

Frankly, I'm over it. The fact that this is even considered a "competition" triggers acid-reflux. I understand that 7 coordinators in 7 yrs plays a role in his progression but so does frailty and being indecisive at the most important postion in football. Scouts get payed 6 figures to evaluate talent and this is the best they can come up with? Shameful. Lacking a true understanding of identity and making inconsistant selections by drafting athletes instead of football players has been our weakpoint. When we were able to take Patrick Willis, 10th overall – I shotgunned a beer with 6 of my closest friends. That's when things started to change.
I love our 49ers. We're finally heading in a good direction with the potential to win 10 games this season. In addition, 2 1st round draft picks, plenty of salary cap space and a motivated, smash mouth defense. We're literally 3-4 picks away from re-establishing dominance in the NFC.
Who/What/Where would you make your selections in next years draft?
Looks like we still need a pass rush >>>
Smith can hold an interview with quick responses but he can't seem to hang on to the ball and be decisive. Sam Bradford looks like the purest pocket passer of the top 5 5 QB's expected to be drafted next April. (Snead, Tebow, McCoy, Bradford & Tim Hiller out of W. Mich).
6'4″ 257 LBS. OLB Sergio Kindle, TEXAS. Best LB Prospect out of Austin since Derrik Johnson. ALSO, 6'6″ 290 LBS, Carlos Dunlap from Florida – Beast. However, this position will be deep in 2010.
Taylor Mays is more over-rated than Tyra Banks. Yes, he may hit like a truck and be a staggering 6'3 3/4, 230 LBS and move at the speed of light – in one direction but Eric Berry SS out of Tennessee is a ball hawking Ed Reed type Safety with skills upon wheels.
I WANT A DT that holds up like a Dutch Levee. Obviously, we have needs. In my most honest of opinions, we don't have many but the ones we have are important. In this particular order based on depth:
1. QB – Not a deep class. Bradford/McCoy/Hiller/LeFevour
2. OLB/DE – Deep AND a need area. Dunlap/Kindle/Hardy/Selvie
3. S – Berry/Mays. Sleeper Myron Rolle the Academic also happens to be a great athlete as well. Plus, he could be his own doctor.
I agree about Taylor Mays being over-rated. When there was talk that the niners might pick him if he was in the draft this year, freaked me out…… Hell no…..

Can Doppler Weather Radar Detect Turbulence? Three Aircraft Head into Colorado Storms to Find Out
BOULDER -- Starting June 2, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is helping guide three research aircraft into Colorado thunderstorms to test how well an airborne Doppler weather radar can detect convective turbulence. The aircraft will fly from the Ft. Collins-Loveland Jet Center to zero in on storms from Ft. Collins to Cheyenne, Wyoming, June 2-18.
The Colorado turbulence research experiment is part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Aviation Safety Program. Other partners are the National Science Foundation (NSF), AlliedSignal, Rockwell Collins, Colorado State University, and the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. NSF is NCAR's primary sponsor.
AlliedSignal will test its airborne weather radar aboard a company-owned Convair 580 while Rockwell-Collins tests its own similar radar aboard its Sabreliner. Both planes will record the aircraft's response to turbulence, such as accelerations and attitudes. An armored T-28 storm- penetration aircraft operated by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology will gather both atmospheric and airplane-response data as it flies into the storm ahead of the other two. Its pilot will report on lightning, hail, and turbulence to the Convair and Sabreliner pilots as the three search for pockets of turbulence while skirting areas of heavy rain and hail. All three planes will fly nearly every afternoon that storms and turbulence are present.
On the ground, Colorado State University will operate two Doppler radars to locate storms and verify aircraft data. CSU researchers and their NSF-sponsored summer students will gather the ground radar data from sites near Greeley and the Pawnee National Grassland. Sounding balloons launched from NCAR's mobile weather van will measure temperature, pressure, humidity, and winds.
NCAR atmospheric scientist Larry Cornman will guide daily operations. Says Cornman, "Airborne Doppler radar is a promising tool for detecting convective turbulence. If everything goes well, it could be ready for use by U.S. airlines within two years." Onboard Doppler radars are already detecting low-level wind shear from commercial planes. Cornman will develop the mathematical equations that will make the standard weather radar data useful for detecting convective turbulence.
Convective turbulence is associated with storms and clouds. It can rip sections off small planes and injure crew and passengers aboard larger craft. Up to 60% of aircraft encounters with turbulence is due to turbulence associated with thunderstorms. Poor forecasting and detection of all kinds of turbulence cost U.S. airlines $100 million each year in injuries and disrupted operations.
Convective turbulence may be detected by weather radars that bounce radio waves off large raindrops, snowflakes, and hailstones. To detect clear-air turbulence, which occurs in the absence of clouds, scientists have experimented with lidars, which reflect laser beams off tiny moving particles invisible to the radar.
In 1996 the White House established a Commission on Aviation Safety and Security. As a result, the Federal Aviation Administration and NASA Aviation Safety Programs were instituted. One element of these safety programs is reduction of injuries from aircraft encounters with atmospheric turbulence.
NCAR is managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, a consortium of more than 60 universities offering Ph.D.s in atmospheric and related sciences.

Craig Breslow used his left hand to be an effective reliever for the Oakland A's last year and now he is using it to poke fun at Jets coach Rex Ryan.
Breslow teammed up with 12 Angry Mascots, a sports-comedy talk show in New York, to produce a spoof of the several foot fetish videos featuring Ryan and his wife, Michelle, that hit the Internet last month.
In Breslow's version, he is sitting in a car with his left hand hanging out of the window when a woman with a camera approaches and admires his "really beautiful left hand."
Enjoy it here.

To be alone, even at night, in one of the small ravines of peg-top Moor had little in itself to alarm the moorland child.
The adjoining figure (Fig. 101) gives a view of the peg-top.
The men in peg-top trousers and silk stocks, the women in crinolines and poke bonnets.
My head do turn round, just for all the world like a peg-top.
Mayakin spoke fast, whirling like a peg-top amid the crowd of people.
This was the one with the biggest check of all, and with the peggiest of peg-top trousers.
Your aunt actually tells me that she can't persuade my peg-top to spin any more!
These proved to be a peg-top, a bunch of string, a small rubber ball and a golden peach-pit.
It spins to brave music, this peg-top, but its metier is to spin.
The child who was spinning a peg-top in the street was simply dressed in a short-skirted cotehardie.

Tomorrow night! June 5th. Free Beer! No kidding. I'll be at Flat in Futakotamagawa from 5:30 pm doing a live FM radio report (and having a drinking party like last week's bash at Taiho). Be there and when you walk in, say, "InterFM Yatsura" and get your first beer free (or drink of your choice!)

Here's information about Flat!
Mr. & Mrs. Shimodai - the folks who run Flat.
Finally! There's a new delicious Yakitori that just opened near my house. It opened on April 20th, 2012 so I went there last night to participate in the venue's fare and was quite pleased.
Flat - Look for the Akachochin (red lanterns!)
The shop's name is "Flat." It is a 5 minute walk from Futakotamagawa station on the Den-en-Toshi Line. (Two stops by express train - six by local train - from Shibuya). It is on the side of the station a few minutes walk from Takashimaya so it's a great place to go if the ladies want to go shopping too!
Room for about 12 to seat on the first floor and a standing bar for four people or so. On the second floor, there is a tatami room that seats ten.
Friendly staff and a spic and span cleanliness (always a must for the Gaijin Gourmet!)
The kitchen is kept spotless and anyone can easily view the food preparation. The standing bar is directly opposite the barbecue rack (to the left of this picture) so anyone can see how clean and spotless the facilities are.
It says, (ふらっと 炭火焼)"Flat Sumibiyaki" (sumibiyaki means "cooked over charcoal")
All the cooked chicken items I had were very delicious.
I don't like dethawed frozen meats and the menu at Flat had fresh chicken. Delicious. It is about ¥160 per piece, which is a tad bit pricy, but like I said, it is not frozen meats so the taste is superb... Good Yakitori never needs sauce and only salt. I don't even use salt so I can really taste good meat. This place has good quality chicken! Fresh!
The owner and head chef is Shimodai san. If you go there, tell him "Mike sent you!"
4-10-1 Tamagawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo
Tel: 03-6313-1445
(If you want to have a party of more than 4 or so, bettre call first, this place gets packed!)

Great F ing game. It is not just the practice NFL football that makes this game seem extra intense. They are playing some foot ball out there.
It seem like the announcers and the crowd is all pro Bama. Both Ds are playing prett great but they keep croning on about how dominant the Bama D has been and how big a game it is for the ACC.
The best ACC teams can beat anyone. This is a great matchup.
Looking forward to the Terps at least covering the spread and representing vs Cal. Go ACC.

Where to install my GPS????
Ok so I got my recently ordered Pioneer AVIC-F500BT
I was kind of surprised by the size, and now I dont know where to install this thing.
I do not want to use the suction cup on my window because I dont want to keep removing it all the time (dont want to get my car break in)
This unit will be controlling my Ipod and my blackberry over the air music.
I tried searching online but I can't find pics of a nice set up.
I am thinking of putting by the sun glass holder??
I am also thinking of doing a custom built place for it in front of the sun glass holder place, but the problem is that some of the connecting wires come out from the side...
Any suggestions?
I would build a custom trim and mount it where the ashtray/pocket are. If you want to really make it look good, take it apart and mold the front case to the panel.

July 22 2017 Latest news:
Ed Foss, Senior writer
Wednesday, December 1, 2010
Among the thousands of words written about student loans and student debt in recent weeks, not much appears to have been said about the pensions dilemma it looks certain to create for young workers.
We already have a major problem in this country persuading 20 and 30-somethings to start saving towards their retirement. A host of figures is available to explain this challenge, but an easy one is this - only 31pc of 18 to 24-year-olds said they were a member of their workplace pension scheme, according to a National Association of Pension Funds survey.
The two sides of the savings argument, in simplistic terms, are as such.
A 24-year-old starting to pay a mortgage and with a desire to maintain a social life just cannot see the point of putting 8pc, for instance, of their income aside to help them live to a certain standard in their 60s (or 70s if the statutory retirement age continues to climb as expected). It's too far off to worry about and who trusts the pensions system anyway?
On the other side of the coin, it's said that a 25-year-old who saves £100 a month for 10 years and then leaves that pot alone until retirement at 65 is as well off as a 35-year-old who saves £100 a month until they are 65 - as long as you assume 5pc annual growth on all monies. Such is the unconfined joy of compound interest.
The problem that must surely be coming is that it will only become harder to persuade the 60pc-plus young people who don't have a pension to do so when they are faced with even bigger student debt liabilities than currently exist among their slightly older peers.
There will be pressure on their budgets from every direction - pension, mortgage and student debt payoff. And it's not as if they or their parents have had long to plan for this. Academic fees could be up to the £9,000 cap by 2012.
The numbers surrounding the next wave of student debt may be on a completely different scale, but all the same are beginning to sound as unintelligible as country sized debts. Can a 22-year-old really be expected to get their head around going into a first job and having £50,000 to £80,000 debts as a matter of course?
The repayment threshold may be rising from an annual salary of £15,000 to one of £21,000, but that will only take the pressure off for a short time - while 'proper' interest rates simply rack up the massive debt at the same time.
When the repayments kick in, they will be made at 9pc of income.
This column isn't supposed to be overtly political, but one wonders if enough thought has been given to the effect of nagging young people into saving for a pension at the very same time as taking almost a tenth of their earnings to deal with paying for their degree.
There will be tough choices for the next generation when it comes to this new level of pension versus student debt dilemma. And unless financial education improves for our youngsters, many of those choices will cause further trouble down the line, both for the country and the individuals concerned.

About the Initiative
Increased Demands Make Efficient Water Use a Must
The Problem
In the Rio Grande Basin, one of the most productive agricultural areas in the United States, irrigated agriculture claims the majority of the region's water. Yet, the basin's population is expected to double in the next 50 years, also doubling urban water demands. This rapid population growth, coupled with the strong agricultural industry, will further stress limited water resources already constrained by salinity and other water problems. University scientists, irrigation districts, and policymakers have identified opportunities for conserving water to increase the available supply in the basin. Research and educational efforts can help improve the efficiency of the water delivery canal infrastructure and help both agricultural and urban investigators use water more conservatively.
The Solution
In 2001, a team of Experiment Station researchers and Cooperative Extension Specialists and county agents from The Texas A&M University System Agriculture Program and the New Mexico State University College of Agriculture and Home Economics began working with local irrigation districts and other agencies, agricultural producers, and homeowners to address water issues in the Rio Grande Basin. Funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, the Rio Grande Basin Initiative focuses on efficient irrigation and conservation. The goal of the initiative is to meet present and future water demands through conservation measures that not only expand the efficient use of available water resources but also create new water supplies. The agricultural experiment stations and Cooperative Extension Services of Texas and New Mexico work hand in hand with other federal and state agencies, farmers, citizens, and local governments to conserve water in the basin.
There are nine different task areas:
Task 1: Irrigation District Studies
Task 2: Irrigation Education and Training
Task 3: Institutional Incentives for Water Use
Task 4: On-Farm Irrigation System Management
Task 5: Urban Water Conservation
Task 6: Environment, Ecology, and Water Quality Protection
Task 7: Saline and Wastewater Management and Water Reuse
Task 8: Basinwide Hydrology, Salinity Modeling, and Technology
Task 9: Communications and Accountability**

Chipper Jones' almost certain Hall of Fame career may be distinguished most by two aspects: switch-hitting prowess and longevity with one team.
The first feat puts Jones in select company. His 454 home runs rank him third on the All-time home run list by switch-hitters behind Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504). Jones also has a higher career batting average (.304) than Mantle (.298) and Murray (.287).
The second may be quickly becoming rare. Jones, who announced Thursday he will retire at the end of the season, is the active leader with 18 seasons played with the same team. There are few players in place to challenge that total.
The next three -- the Yankees' Derek Jeter, 37, and Mariano Rivera, 42, at 17 and the Rockies' Todd Helton, 38, at 15 -- are only signed for one or two more years. Jeter has a 2014 player option, Helton's deal is up after 2013 and Rivera has hinted this season will be his last. The rest of the top 20, as compiled by the Elias Sports Bureau, contains players who, by the challenge of injuries or age, the uncertainty of free agency or just the sheer number of years it will take to catch up, don't seem likely to reach Jones' run with the Braves.
STORY: Jones says this season will be his last
GALLERY: Chipper Jones
"That's a testament to him and the Braves," said the Mets' David Wright, according to ESPNNewYork.com. Wright (eight seasons) is tied for 16th on the active list.
"It helps when you win 14 straight divisions together," Wright said. "But it's just a testament that it's the place he wanted to be and they wanted him there. But, like I said, it helps a lot when you have the winning track record that he had."
Albert Pujols, who signed with the Angels this offseason, would have ranked in a five-way tie for eighth (11 years) had he stayed with the Cardinals, tying him with the Rangers' Michael Young, the Cubs' Kerry Wood, the Mariners' Ichiro Suzki and the Orioles' Brian Roberts.
"I can't go back and feel sorry,'' Pujols said when he he arrived at spring training after the Angels had signed him for 10 years at $240 million. "It's time to move forward. That was one chapter in my life. This is another.
"I'm not going to look back over my shoulder and regret the decision I made. It was the best decision for me and my family.''
Ryan Braun, last year's National League MVP, might seem like a candidate, as he's signed through 2021 (if he and the Brewers exercise a $15 million mutual option for that season). At the beginning of 2022, Braun, provided he spends time with Milwaukee each upcoming season, will have played in 15 seasons with the team. He will also be 38.
As of now, Braun's five years with Milwaukee aren't even close to the top 100. Here are the active leaders in seasons played with one team, according to Elias:
1. Chipper Jones, Braves: 18
2. Derek Jeter, Yankees: 17
2. Mariano Rivera, Yankees: 17
4. Todd Helton, Rockies: 15
5. Paul Konerko, White Sox: 13
6. Jimmy Rollins, Phillies: 12
6. Michael Young, Rangers: 12
8. Kerry Wood, Cubs: 11
8. Ichiro Suzuki, Mariners: 11
8. Brian Roberts, Orioles: 11
8. Brandon Inge, Tigers: 11
12. Justin Morneau, Twins: 9

Jones, 39, wouldn't rank in the top 15 on the all-time-list, though none of the members of it have played a game in the majors since Cal Ripken retired in 2001.
"I often admired when I was coming up, guys like Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn who were able to work with their organization so that they could stay in one place," Jones said Thursday, according to MLB.com. "They knew how important it was to stay in one place and be the face of the franchise. While I don't consider myself to be in their realm, I'm awfully proud to say I've been a part of this organization for so long."
Ripken ranks down on the all-time list, too, and even Gwynn, who spent 20 seasons with the Padres, wouldn't make the all-time top 15:
1. Brooks Robinson, Orioles: 23
1. Carl Yastrzemski, Red Sox 23
3. Cap Anson, Cubs: 22

New Pew Internet Survey on Gaming Released
On Tuesday, September 16th, the Pew Research Center released its latest study on video games, specifically examining "the relationship between games and civic outcomes."
From the report summary:
"This survey provides the first nationally representative study of teen video game play and of teen video gaming and civic engagement. The survey looks at which teens are playing games, the games and equipment they are using, the social context of their play, and the role of parents and parental monitoring. Though arguments have been made about the civic potential of video gaming, this is the first large-scale study to examine the relationship between specific gaming experiences and teens' civic activities and commitments."
The report includes gender and age differences in gaming behavior, preferences for types of games and specific game titles, as well as frequency of game play. In terms of relation to civic outcomes, "This study found that the quantity of game play is not strongly or consistently related to most civic outcomes, but that some particular qualities of game play have a strong and consistent positive relationship to a range of civic outcomes."
The full report is available in pdf format on the Pew site.

Arthritis & Rheumatism, Volume 62,
November 2010 Abstract Supplement
Abstracts of the American College of
Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia November 6-11, 2010.
Dys-Regulation of T-Cell Subsets and Cytokines Is Associated with the Development of Inflammatory Symptoms in ACPA-Positive Asymptomatic Individual.
Cuthbert2, Richard J., Parmar2, Rekha, Nam2, Jackie, Villeneuve2, Edith, Corscadden2, Diane, Henshaw2, Karen, Emery1, Paul
Chapel Allerton Hospital, Leeds, United Kingdom
University of Leeds, Leeds, UK
We reported that T-cell subset dys-regulation can predict evolution towards rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from early symptoms, response to treatment in early disease as well as relapse in patients who achieved clinical remission. Naïve cells were the most informative circulating T-cells subset in early disease. Cytokine activated T-cells (IRC) were less informative as systemic inflammation is low in early disease. Asymptomatic ACPA-positive individual are at high risk of developing RA. The aim of the current study is to determine whether T-cell subset and cytokine analysis can predict future development of inflammatory symptoms in this group.
35 asymptomatic ACPA+ individuals were enrolled; they were recruited if they had new onset musculoskeletal pain but no synovitis on clinical examination. 6 colour flowcytometry was performed using standard protocols. 36 healthy controls were used to build the age relationship with naïve cell frequency. ELISA were used to measure cytokines and chemokines.
35 individuals were recruited and followed for 12 months. There was clear difference at baseline between ACPA+ individuals and controls for naïve (P<0.0001), CD25highFoxp3+ Treg (P=0.020) and CD62L+Treg (P=0.001). IRC were not increased in asymptomatic individuals. During follow-up, 6 individuals were diagnosed with undifferentiated arthritis (UA), 6 with RA, 9 with non-inflammatory osteoarthritis or connective tissue disease and 16 remained with non-specific musculoskeletal symptoms or arthralgia. Analysis based on follow-up showed reduced naïve T-cell (P=0.007) and Treg (P=0.090) in arthralgia and CD62L+Treg frequency were increased (P<0.0001). In the group developing IA, naïve cells were reduced (P<0.0001) but Treg were not different from controls. CD62L+Treg in contrast were significantly reduced (P=0.025). All OA/CTD individuals were close to controls. Furthermore, OA/CTD patients compared to the age-naïve frequency relationship in controls were above normal, the arthralgia group was close to controls and IA patients below. Serum levels of IL-12 and IL-7 cytokines differed in arthralgia individuals compared to controls (P<0.0001) but MIP-1alpha levels were not raised. On follow-up reduced IL-12 (P=0.007) and IL-7 (P=0.019) were observed in the arthralgia group. In the group developing IA, IL-12 (P<0.0001) and IL-7 (P=0.006) were even more reduced and MIP-1alpha raised (P=0.018). In OA/CTD individuals, only IL-12 levels were reduced (P<0.001).
In ACPA+ asymptomatic individuals, the future development of inflammatory symptom appears clearly associated with abnormal immunological parameters at baseline. Furthermore, data suggest that Treg's involvement may be in the true pre-clinical phase and this battle is lost by the time symptoms develop. More work is needed to determine if loss of naïve cells is a cause or a consequence of this dys-regulation on T-cells, however, loss of CD62L+Treg suggests a role for the thymus.

Enhancing biomass production from marginal lands with perennial grasses
Name of the coordinating person: Dr. Susanne Barth
For a list of Grass Margins participants: please see the partners page.
Perennial grasses, which once established can be harvested and re-grow annually for many decades, have a number of other beneficial characteristics which suit them as biomass crops. These include high resource use efficiency, high productivity, good environmental qualities and a wide range of end uses. Environmental benefits include high rates of soil carbon sequestration, enhanced biodiversity and soil stabilisation. Read more
Learn more
The project will study the potential for using different types of grass species under challenging climatic conditions (e.g. drought, salinity, flood and cold) to develop high yielding biofuel crops. The selection of material by partners in the project will focus on four taxa of perennial grasses. These have been selected as a result of a preliminary analysis and known characteristics of these groups (El Bassam, 2008).Learn more

When an electric current passes through a conductor a magnetic field is produced around the conductor. This effect can be easily demonstrated by showing that a compass needle is deflected when placed near a wire carrying an electric current. If the wire is coiled in a spiral, then the magnetic field will be perpendicular to the direction of the current.
In an electromagnet a wire is wrapped around a soft iron core. When current is passed through the wire the core carries the magnetic flux and behaves like a bar magnet. This type of magnet has the advantage that the magnet field can be switched on or off.
A relay is an electromechanical switching device. It has one or more contacts for opening and closing circuits. A movable metal strip called an armature is activated by an electromagnet. The movement of the armature causes the contacts to either open or close, thereby turning a circuit on or off. In some designs the armature is a drum that rotates when the magnetic field is activated.
The reed relay is powered by the 9-volt battery. It closes at around .007 amperes, the current which passes through the circuit when the probes are connected to copper electrodes placed opposite each other in a 250 mL beaker half-filled with tap water. The electrodes may be held in place by crimping them around the beaker's lip. The reed relay may be activated as well by connecting the alligator directly together, without any damage to the reed relay.
The reed relay activates the intermediate relay which activates the power relay which turns on the light bulb.
The reed relay is capable of activating the power relay directly, but the initial current surge in the coil of the power relay might shorten the life of the reed relay. Hence, the intermediate "activator" relay.
Here are the specifications:
|Reed relay-->
|"Activator" relay--->
|Power relay--->
|0.004 Amps @
5 Volts D.C.
|0.01 Amps @
125 Volts A.C.
|0.08 Amps @

|0.6 Amps @

|Output: (contact capacity)
|1 Amp @
125 Volts A.C.
|3 Amps @
125 Volts A.C.
|30 Amps @
125 Volts A.C.
Directions: Plug unit into 110 V.A.C. Place on opposite sides of empty 250 mL beaker. Connect each probe wire to an electrode. Pour tap water slowly into the 250 mL beaker until reed relay closes and circuit activates, illuminating light.

Switch List
The Switch List can be accessed by either pointing the mouse cursor in the upper left corner of your computer screen or through the Windows + Tab hotkey. Taking the mouse cursor to the left top corner works in two ways. If you keep your cursor in the corner and click, it will automatically switch to the most recently accessed application, but, if you take your mouse cursor to the top left and then move it downwards without clicking, you are able to view the complete list of previously accessed applications. Just click any application to bring the corresponding application up.
Considering the lack of navigation options in the native Start Screen apps of Windows 8 (such as minimize and maximize), Switch List will prove to be a very useful for quickly navigating between running applications in Windows 8.

The U.S. Transplant Games kick off in Madison next week!
Starting Friday, July 30 Madison will be the home to the 2010 U.S. Transplant Games®, organized by the National Kidney Foundation. The city will be abuzz with thousands of people from across the country, including transplant recipients, living donors, donor families, transplant professionals and friends and family members, gathered to celebrate the lives touched by organ donation and transplantation.
The Olympic-style competition is held every two years in locations around the country. The competitive events include golf, basketball, swimming, bowling, racquetball, table tennis, cycling, tennis and much more! The games also have opening and closing ceremonies and a 5k Race that everyone is invited to participate in.
However, the U.S. Transplant Games are more than just a sporting event. As the single largest event promoting organ, eye and tissue donation, the Games serve to foster the health and fitness of its participants, while showcasing the success of transplantation, highlighting the vital need for more organ and tissue donors, and honoring donors and donor families.
You can follow the games along with the Sweere family. Rece Sweere was born with severe dilated cardiomyopathy in 2001. After being transported here to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Rece received a heart transplant at only 11 days old. Now a healthy and active child, Rece and his family will be participating in the Transplant Games. We will continue posting as they update their family's blog throughout their experiences at the games. Check out their family blog here.
-Tom Demski, Transplant Services Manager, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.

Below is the code I am using to pull data from an API to import it into my WordPress database. Getting the data from the API works fine and everything is gravy on api calls that return fewer results. However, with this particular function it is returning just over 9000 and breaking during the foreach loop that goes through each returned element; sometimes after 2500, sometimes after 5000. Also, as you can see I set the max execution time for PHP to 5 minutes but it stops just after a minute and doesn't return an error.
This ones driving me crazy! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
* Import vehicles
function n4s_import_vehicles() {
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);
//Initialize curl
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://api.curtmfg.com/v2/GetVehicle?year=&make=&model=&style=&dataType=JSON');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$ch_data = curl_exec($ch);
if(!empty($ch_data)) {
$i = 0;
$json_data = json_decode($ch_data, true); //print_r(count($json_data)); exit();
foreach($json_data as $data) {
$post_title = $data['year'] . ' ' . $data['make'] . ' ' . $data['model'] . ' ' . $data['style'];
$post = array(
'post_type' => 'vehicle',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_title' => $post_title
$post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
$vehicle_year = str_replace('.', '-', $data['year']);
$vehicle_make = str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower($data['make']));
if(!empty($post_id)) {
// Update Year
wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $vehicle_year, 'vehicle_year');
// Update Make
wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $vehicle_make, 'make');
// Update Model
update_post_meta($post_id, 'n4s-vehicle-model', $data['model']);
// Update Style
update_post_meta($post_id, 'n4s-vehicle-style', $data['style']);
if($i == 1000) {
$wpdb->queries = array();
$wp_actions = array();
Looking at the code I wonder if there is a way to save the data in chunks. From the looks of it at the very least 36,000 individual queries are going to be issued and that is a significant problem regardless of whether it works or not. I'm not familiar with WP but one would hope there is a way to update multiple rows/entities using a single query rather than issuing separate queries for every post. If not that is something your going to need to write because the way your doing it right now is going to be prone to failure not only short term but also long term as the data set scales.
Yeah, you're definitely right. I guess I'll head back to the WordPress codex and see if I missed something. If not, I'll have to write some custom functions.

Welcome Back, Kotter is an television sitcom which aired on ABC from 1975 to 1979. The show followed Mr. Kotter (played by Gabe Kaplan), a teach who returns to his high school alma mater in New York City, to teach a class of remedial students, known as the "Sweathogs". The series turned John Travolta into a teen idol, but by the third season the actors playing the high school aged Sweathogs ranged from 24 to 29, and the show was cancelled the following season.
The theme song was ranked by TV Guide as one of the 50 All-Time Favorite TV Themes, and the character Vinnie Barbarino was ranked as #83 in Bravo's 100 Greatest TV Characters.
