Business radio problem?
Hello my fellow M3 enthusiast. My name is Mr.Miller and I'm having an radio problem and i cant seem to fix it. First i would give history this is the standard radio not the navigation i search this forum but didn't seem to find anything relative to my problem most radio problems are from navigation. Anyway it started with two days ago i was listening to music and accidentally hit the speaker bottom on my steering wheel( the button below the r/t button). I immediately tried to turn it off by holding the r/t bottom, then tried turning it off by holding the speaker bottom but it didn't seem to work. So i restarted my battery and reset my time thinking it would work but it didn't. Now it seems like my radio isn't working correctly non of the bottoms on my radio are functioning. :jawdrop:. Only one buttom works on my radio which is the r/t buttom and it just switches two setting the time and then phone-book E.
here is some pictures of my radio and what it display. I already took the fuse out and restarted it still didnt work. Today i took out the radio to see if the plugs were connected and still doesn't work. Has this happen to anyone
when i press the r/t bottom this is what it displays
here the r/t bottom on the steering wheel
this thing is getting frustrating idk what to try any radio heads i can bring it to besides dealership im located in nyc. i want to upgrade to navi but i want to make sure everything is good im going to see if i can switch radio with my friend
The radio appears to be stuck in Phone mode. That's pretty odd if you don't have a phone module installed in the car. You enter phonebook mode using the R/T key but this only works if there is a phone module installed. The control is all done via iBus messages so it's not something simple like a stuck button. Do you have an after market phone system installed in the car?
By the way, it's 'button', not 'bottom'! Bottom = Butt.
try resetting the radio. this video shows that country code, but scroll to the right setting
I read on google somewhere this problem might be called Phone mode sometimes the radio gets stuck on phone mode but previous post I read people had some controls of the radio I don't. But I read somewhere that said I can reset the telephone fuse and see of that works
i just took the telephone fuse out still no good might have to try a new radio
I had the same problem, radio was stuck on "phone" I just took out both radio fuses 7, 41, turned key to position one to make sure radio was dead. Took key out. Then i put both fuses back, turned key back to position one and walla, radio is back to normal.

WATCH: Boston Picks Lil Wayne Over Drake
WARNING: Explicit Content
Described as "a concert, a smack-down and a video game in one," The Lil Wayne Vs. Drake Tour made its stop at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield last night for the first of six shows scheduled this week. Inspired by the Street Fighter video game, each concert is set up as a battle where the two rappers compete every night to see who opens each show and again to see who "wins" each show at the end of the night. Fans vote on a winner through an app designed for the tour.
As a surprise to most, Weezy was picked by the fans to open last night's show and was also chosen as the "winner" again at the end of the night.
The highlight of the night came when Drake decided to give an impromptu acceptance speech for the MTV Video Music Award that he had won this past Sunday. He thanks Common for presenting the award and jokes about the criticism that he gets for his female-friendly records. Watch the full speech below:
Also, check out this throwback clip from our Summer Jam in 2008 where Lil Wayne performs and congratulates Boston and the Celtics on their NBA championship.

Lots of thanks goes to some great photographers that I've worked with, whom you can find in my top 12; I credit them so much! I am continuously looking to try new themes to build my portfolio, as long as the shots are tasteful. I do NOT do nude or distasteful eye candy, it's just not the look I'm trying to achieve.

I have two/three tattoos, depending on how you look at it. I have one on my lower back, which can always be covered. And, I have wings on my sides,which can be photoshopped out, or I can wear something to cover them. I have my ears pierced. But, that is all...
As for now, I'm looking to branch into a lot of fields within the industry, and if you feel like you can help me, or I can help you, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I want to take it to the top, wherever the top may be for me, and yes, I want you to come with me!!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 155597371X, Paperback)
This Iraq will reach the ends of the graveyard.
It will bury its sons in open country
generation after generation,
and it will forgive its despot...
It will not be the Iraq that once held the name.
—from "A Vision"
Living his life in exile—a series of forced departures from numerous countries—Iraqi poet Saadi Youssef also writes outside the long-standing forms of traditional Arabic poetry. In the words of Salma Khadra, a critic of Arabic poetry, "Youssef's poetry abounds with the sights, smells, colors, and movement of life around him, depicting scenes of great familiarity and intimacy. This is a great achievement in the face of the rage and fury and technical complexities of much of the other poetry written by his contemporaries." Beautifully translated by Khaled Mattawa, Graywolf is proud to present this vital voice to the United States.

In early November, the U.S. Department of Labor announced that the travel industry created 296,000 jobs since December 2009 – adding jobs in 29 of the past 34 months. The travel industry has recovered 59% of the jobs lost during the Great Recession, well ahead of the rest of the economy which has recouped 51% of the jobs lost. Additionally, the travel industry has created jobs at a 16% faster pace than the rest of the economy since the overall employment recovery began in March of 2010. The October Labor Department report shows that the economy added 171,000 jobs last month, including six thousand more travel jobs, while the unemployment rate essentially remained unchanged at 7.9%. Here in Los Angeles, every 340 visitors create one new job. Based on the current 2012 projection of 900,000 incremental visitors over 2011, LA is on pace to have created more than 2600 new jobs this year within LA's travel industry.

Monitoring to increase for aquatic invasive species in Nevada County
December 3, 2012
"Manifest Destiny" describes the belief held by many 19th century Americans that the fledging nation was fated to expand to the West Coast.
The phrase has taken on a new context in the 21st century as biological scientists have expressed fears that the spread of aquatic invasive species from the East Coast toward the west has the same underlying sense of inevitability.
The principle culprits in the aquatic invasion of North America's waterways are two invasive mollusk species — quagga and zebra mussels — which were introduced into the Great Lakes region via the ballast of freight ships originating in eastern Europe and Ukraine in the 1980s.
The invasion has spread to northern Nevada, causing concern throughout Northern California and coming under the attention of the Nevada County Board of Supervisors at a recent regular meeting.
Since the introduction, the invertebrates have procreated at a rapid rate, which is a reason for their biological success. The thumb-sized mollusks attach to anything, including intake and outtake pipes, drains, cooling systems and boats. The invaders' ability to multiply at an exponential rate kills off native species, alters the chemical makeup of water bodies and can cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to water-dependent industries, such as hydroelectric purveyors, power companies and recreational boating outfits.
The population of the mollusks continues to expand in the Great Lakes region, and the species are impossible to eradicate, although pesticides are in development.
The problem was largely contained to the eastern half of the continent until 2007, when the invasive invertebrates were first detected in Lake Mead. Since then, water managers throughout Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California have devised methods to keep the creatures from contaminating other water bodies.
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency adopted one of the nation's most aggressive boat inspection programs in 2009, which required those wishing to enter the Sierra lake's famously pristine blue waters to have their boats thoroughly checked along with requiring the operators to disclose which water bodies the boats had previously entered.
In 2010, voluntary inspections were implemented at Donner Lake, Boca and Stampede reservoirs and the Nevada County Board of Supervisors recently considered an ordinance that would make inspections mandatory at all of the county's major water bodies.
Indications of quagga mussel were detected in two reservoirs in the northern part of Nevada, including Lahontan and Rye Patch Reservoirs, said Chairman Ted Owens during the November meeting of the supervisors, who supported a comprehensive ordinance for the county.
Many northern Nevada residents also use lakes in eastern Nevada County for recreational purposes during the summer, and the fear is as inspections take hold, they will move west to avoid inspections and fees, Owens said.
Theresa Crimmens, coordinator of the Truckee Regional AIS Prevention Program, said in outreach conversations with boaters in the eastern part of the county, inspectors found more than 80 boats that had previously been in infested waters.
Crimmens said that the inspections are voluntary and that officials have no ability to enforce restrictions on boaters who have navigated infested waters in the recent past.
The supervisors expressed support for the program but did have reservations about the nature and timing of implementation of a comprehensive program.
"It's a good idea to express a policy that expresses that we have a potential threat," said Supervisor Nate Beason. "But I'm a little unclear on how we enforce it and who will pay for it."
The supervisors agreed to approve the ordinance as it applies to county water bodies located on the east side of the Sierra crest and to use the program as a test pilot to determine whether it was right for water bodies on the western side.
"(East side managers) will go through the various operational changes and then at some point we can decide how we're going to do it on the west side," said Supervisor Hank Weston, noting part of the delay for implementation in the western portion of the county has to do with the multiplicity of entities that manages water bodies.
The U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Nevada Irrigation District, California State Parks, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies need to be consulted before a comprehensive ordinance is installed on the west side of the county, Weston said.

While I was discovering the HTC Desire for myself at Melbourne's Telstra T-Life Store, I happened to meet a HTC representative. I won't mention his name just in case. As we discussed the HTC Desire, he also gave me some juicy tidbits that are sure to spark excitement with those restlessly waiting on the HTC Legend to land in Australia.
HTC Legend Won't Be Exclusive To Telstra
He gave an indication that the HTC Legend will not be sold exclusively through Telstra like the HTC Desire but will be available from one of the other carriers. When I queried him on whether it would be Vodafone, Optus or Three, he was coy to say which one exactly but confirmed it'd be one that I had mentioned. I've heard elsewhere that Optus' arrangement to initially handle the HTC Legend didn't work out, so that narrows it down to Vodafone or Three. The HTC rep said a HTC Legend announcement was imminent and would be made in the next one or two weeks which should clarify all the aforementioned.
Silly Optus for not trying harder – from all the reviews on the web, it looks like it will sell like hotcakes in Oz.
HTC Desire or HTC Legend?
Many of my friends who are Android-inclined are still deciding between the HTC Desire and HTC Legend. Here's the HTC Legend post we did earlier for device information. For many it will be a choice between power/screensize versus rugged/stylish aluminum case.
I like the HTC Desire

text: Home > How To > Roofing > Q&A: Roof Vent Requirements Roofing Q&A: Roof Vent Requirements By Hank Spies Login or Register to download the PDF version of this article. (63.08 kB) A.Henry Spies responds: The amount of ridge vent needed is not related to the roof area, it is related to the living space below the roof. Most codes require roof ventilation having a minimum total net free ventilating area of 1/150 of the ceiling area of the living space beneath it. This can be reduced to 1/300 of the area if at least 50% and less than 80% of the required ventilation area is provided by ventilators located in the upper portion of the space to be ventilated, at least 3 feet above eaves or cornice vents, with the balance of the ventilation provided by eaves and cornice vents. As an alternative, the net free cross-ventilation area can be reduced to 1/300 when a vapor barrier having a transmission rate not exceeding 1 perm is installed on the warm side of the ceiling.The net free ventilation area of a ridge vent is determined by the manufacturer. Wind tunnel tests indicate the effective net free area of ventilation provided by most ridge vents is typically half that indicated by the manufacturer. There is no problem with overventing the attic area, so the best course is to provide as much ridge vent as can... Login or Register to continue reading

Prior to completing nursing school, I was unsure of what specialty would be a good fit for me. In my last semester of school I was able to choose my area of interest for my final rotation. Out of curiosity, I selected the NICU. I was immediately faced with the earnestness of caring for tiny souls. I saw the babies in their most vulnerable state, crying out for the touch of someone who cared. As a novice nurse I was touched by their presence and could see how my care would directly impact not only their lives, but those of their families as well. I have been committed to the care of sick and premature babies ever since.
Attending deliveries as a member of the Neo Response Team has provided me with a rare perspective. I get to see normal, healthy newborns as well as the preemies that are near and dear to my heart. Caring for all types of babies has given me insight to support our families in each stage of their baby's stay with us.
Through my journey in the NICU I have celebrated first birthdays and going home parties. I have also attended funerals, cried and prayed with families of babies that have passed away.
My passion for babies has never wavered. I remain a voice for the innocent. Although these babies may have been born premature, they are equally as deserving of love and tenderness.
I participate in the March of Dimes: March for Babies Walk to raise awareness for the little ones that I care for. Although small, they are our future nurses, doctors, teachers and lawyers. Through research we can foster the growth and development of the tiniest of babies. After all, big miracles can come in tiny packages.

This case is being investigated by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
This indictment was announced by U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldaña of the Northern District of Texas.
Ignacio Garcia, 32, has been in custody since his arrest June 11.
The indictment alleges that on June 11, Garcia conspired to smuggle illegal aliens into the United States for his personal profit. The indictment further alleges that Garcia, an illegal alien who had been previously deported in March 2011, was unlawfully present in the U.S., which is a felony. Public documents, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, note that Garcia was convicted of transporting illegal aliens and sentenced in November 2010 to 13 months imprisonment, to be followed by deportation.
A federal indictment is an accusation by a grand jury and a defendant is entitled to the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty. Upon conviction, however, the conspiracy count and the substantive transportation of illegal aliens count each carry a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. The illegal reentry count, as charged, carries a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney P.J. Meitl, Northern District of Texas, is prosecuting this case.

Rihanna Is Looking For A Bone Marrow Donor
January 12, 2010 by The Gossip Chic
Filed under Rihanna
After receiving a letter from a 26-year old Nigerian 2014 Olympic hopeful, Seun Adebiyi who was diagnosed with leukemia, the popstar, Rihanna promised to do her best to find him a bone marrow donor sooner or later. Actor Justin Chambers from "Grey's Anatomy" also promised to do the same.
"Leukemia interrupted Seun's (athlete) dream of being the first Nigerian in the Winter Olympics, but together we can help him make his dream come true. We need to find him a bone marrow donor! Please sign up with DKMS!", says Rihanna on an interview
Seun feels so delighted and priveleged on how Rihanna and Justin is exerting the effort to help him.
"I am deeply touched by their plea for donors, not just for me, but for others as well. Their voices are so powerful and it encourages me how they used their influence to raise awareness about this important issue. That was incredible."

06/25/2013: "Slip & Slide But Cattle Point Road Realignment Enters Design Stage"
(Arrow shows road edge -Mike Vouri photo)
It's been nine years of concern, worry, uncertainty, and little action, but at long last the analysis and review is over and the Federal Highway Administration, Western Federal Lands Highway Division and National Park Service have each approved Records of Decision (RODs) for the Cattle Point Road Realignment Project on San Juan Island.
The project is a partnership between the Federal Highways Administration, National Park Service, San Juan County, and Washington Department of Natural Resources. Approval of the RODs allows the agencies to begin final design and construction of the project, pending funding.
The agencies have selected alternative B for construction. This alternative was identified as the preferred alternative in the Final Environmental Impact Statement published in September 2012.
The alternative will realign a 4,950-foot section of Cattle Point Road located in San Juan Island National Historical Park.
The new alignment will shift the road about 300 feet upslope from its present location, which is expected to protect the roadway from coastal bluff erosion for about 100 years.
"The realignment of Cattle Point Road will preserve road access through San Juan Island National Historical Park to Cape San Juan, and to the light house and picnic areas at Cattle Point," said park superintendent Lee Taylor. "The National Park Service and San Juan County are collaborating to obtain funding to complete this important project."
The ROD is the final step in the National Environmental Policy Act process. The ROD outlines the rationale for the decision and measures to minimize environmental harm that will be incorporated into the final road design and construction. The Cattle Point Road Realignment Project RODs are available for download or viewing at http://www.wfl.fha.dot.gov/projects/wa/cattlepoint/. Print copies are located at the San Juan Island Library in Friday Harbor.

Burker King saves Robert Downey Jr's life
What finally set Robert Downey Junior on the path to sobriety and a career resurgence? The answer will probably surprise you. In an interview with Britain's Empire magazine, the actor says he made the breakthrough in 2003 after he was driving a car filled with "tons of dope" and decided to stop for a hamburger. He says, "I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen." Downey says he then threw all of his drugs into the ocean and decided at that moment to get clean. He says he even payed homage to the incident in Iron Man, when Tony Stark asks for a Burger King cheeseburger after being released from his captors. Robert Downey Jr. thanks Burger King for helping him overcome his problems with addiction.

Everything People on the Go Should Know About Photography
Photography is a fun hobby that interests people from all walks of life. Nothing is more enjoyable to many people than taking a stroll through the woods and photographing their favorite sites. Parents who have kids love the idea of taking pictures of everything their kids do, especially when their kids are young. Unfortunately, a lot of people are too busy in their day to day lives to take great photographs. Luckily, for anyone on the go, there are many tips to ensure that they do not neglect their hobby. So without further ado, here are four tips for anyone who is on the go and still wants to practice their favorite (or a new) passion.
A lot of people neglect photography in their day to day lives. This is a mistake, as there is always an opportunity to capture a thrilling moment. Every day of our lives, there is something worth capturing on photo, whether it is a sunset, or just a traffic-filled street. Some of the best photos are taken when the photographer had no preparation to take the photo. Great photography can capture any moment happening in life – the moment does not have to be grand on its own. Any true photographer will tell you that photography is about much more than capturing smiles or happy moments – it's about capturing life and the world as it is today. That's a pretty broad spectrum. If you open up your lens to all the snap-worthy scenes out there, your photos of loved ones will benefit all the more.
Don't fret about finding the best camera – even a simple camera can take great photos. Believe it or not, a lot of serious photographers don't want to carry around their thousand dollar camera everywhere they go. Luckily, even a simple $50 camera will take great photographs. Granted, a cheap camera will not give perfect results, but the difference will be negligible. Remember, photography is about capturing the moment, not about impressing people with a great camera. Even a disposable camera will record great memories. Unless you plan to make money off your photos or you'd like to enter some kind of contests, spend your money elsewhere.
In recent years, a lot of people have become obsessed with cleaning up their photos using photo-editing programs, but remember that a picture is supposed to capture what you were seeing and nothing more. Don't try and alter the photo too much. A lot of busy professionals spend their weekends going through their favorite photos, trying to make them better, if you're busy, don't worry about perfecting every little part. Chances are a few quick fixes here and there will suffice for great photos. If you simply take pleasure in manipulating images, then you should totally be on the likes of Instagram – likely the easiest, most rewarding and most efficient way to do so (and share the final product with loved ones)!
Right Under Your Nose
You might be surprised, but you may already have everything you need to take great pictures of your daily life without spending hundreds of dollars on equipment or software. If you have a smart phone with a good camera, you might already be set. In fact, the iPhone camera has made a great name for itself as having one of the best cameras out there – the photos on an iPhone are often as good as those from a quality camera – but the camera itself is a bonus that comes with something you already were going to buy – a phone. If you're in the market for a new phone too, the iPhone might be a solution to save some real dough AND take great photos.
Remember that photography is supposed to be fun. You don't have to and you shouldn't stress over a hobby like photography. Do it when you can, whether it is one Saturday a month, or 20 minutes after work. If photography is something you truly enjoy, you will find time out of your week to take photos. Good photography will come naturally, even for busy working professionals who are on the go. Remember, no matter what, there are opportunities every day to take spectacular photos. The minute you wake up and walk out the door, you have hundreds of opportunities to capture life into amazing photographs. Photos should be an organic part of an experience – if you're having a great time with friends and they groan when you whip the camera out, you probably don't have the right attitude, and your photos will show it. Keep it light and think of it as an extended learning experience, rather than something to master immediately.
Roger Wellesley writes about photography, blogging and liberal arts educations. His proudest piece is on the best degrees for creative people.

The Geography of the Imagination (1981)
by Guy Davenport
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The essays collected hear will point you to writers, poets, and artists that you must have a relationship with. Many are introductions to, or critiques of, the works of others; some are brief biographies; others seem to be simply exceptionally lucid and attentive forays into whatever Davenport was thinking about at the time.
It's difficult to describe this wide-ranging adn erudite collection, but I will say that, after reading all of it, I am left with the nagging desire to spend the rest of my life studying at Davenport's feet. Unfortunately, he's no longer with us, except in collections such as this.
I expect to read these essays over and over, as I try to extract what I can from my reading of the best of literature 9archaic and modern), because Davenport touches on so much, and ties so much of the best works together.
I go back to this book when I am feeling too tired to read anything new, or feeling dull or complacent. Most of these essays involve making connections among writers and books and ideas, getting to the heart of a book I've never read in a way that gets me excited to pick it up.
includes best article ever on Wittgenstein, Erich Heller notwithstanding
While the backbone of this collection is its defense and decoding of the great modernists (Joyce, Pound) and early postmodernists (Zukofsky, Olson), the book also forays ceaselessly into all sorts of other areas: Dogon myth, Wittgenstein, Shaker aesthetics, hobbitry, the invention of the buttonhole, Stan Brakhage, and Indian arrowheads, to name but a few. Davenport's true genius is his ability to synthesize: he arranges these disparate subjects into a single staggering design so complete that the book seems to contain no digressions, only elaborations. A thrilling collection; highly recommended.
When Guy Davenport died in Kentucky in January 2005, the United States lost one of its last great men of letters. The experience of reading The Geography of the Imagination is truly a geographic sort of rush-- a "Cortez-seeing-the-Pacific-for-the-first-time" feeling (yes, I *know* who it was, and you know why I'm saying Cortez-- and if you don't, you can find out in Davenport.) In his writing, erudition is worn so lightly it turns into a hang-glider-- to read these essays is to be reminded, palpably and unmistakably, what being learned is *for.*
His was a mind to which nothing was foreign. Davenport wrote fiction, poetry, art and music criticism, and literary essays of wide-ranging and never-failing fascination. His anecdotes from a lifetime of studying under those who he admired will inspire and make you guffaw; his surprising connections between cultural moments a thousand years apart will make you blink with wonder.
He will also show you how easy a difficult text is, and how difficult an easy one. Davenport's efforts to create public appreciation and support of poets beyond the mainstream was a labor of love and radical commitment, and every American reader of poetry is indebted to him. It was from Davenport that I first learned who Jonathan Williams and Robert Kelly were, and why to read Lorine Niedecker and Ronald Johnson. He championed the reading of Olson and Zukofsky and will, if you let him, open up Pound's "Cantos" for you in ways that leave mere *explication du texte* rusting on the side of the road.
Davenport had read everything-- read and digested. Not just "Robinson Crusoe," but its two (!) sequels; not just "Moby-Dick," but "Clarel"; not just Thoreau, but Agassiz, Audubon, Muir, and Lewis and Clark. He compared dozens of translations of Homer and himself rendered the poems of Archilochus, Sappho and others; he studied Chinese inspired by Pound and Fenollosa; for Anglo-Saxon he went to learn from J.R.R. Tolkien. His erudition was always at the service of his curiosity, and high- and low-brow meant nothing to him, decades before it was cool to deconstruct a television commercial. In a few pages, sometimes one, his thought may leap like a living spark from O. Henry to James Joyce to Walt Disney, from Charles Ives to Rimbaud to the Lone Ranger; and moreover-- what is all the more refreshing-- *never* with the cuteness or cleverness that poisons "cultural studies" with the malaise of the always-already-passe. Despite his unflagging chastisement of know-nothing anti-intellectualism and laziness, Davenport was an optimist in a way that used to be considered characteristically American; but his enthusiasm extended to everything, old-world, new-world, what may yet be and what never was.
This is to say, that Davenport's great learning was first of all gratitude, which-- glory be to God-- he expressed over and over again in irrepressibly articulate and unfenced prose. Now that he is gone, who is left so catholic in interest and intrepid in craft? There are still a few truly wide-ranging scholars who do write beautiful and soul-changing sentences: George Steiner, Roberto Calasso, Martha Nussbaum, Anne Carson.... but for sheer generosity married to such voracious self-education, making such song and argument as to shake the mind awake and make the heart glad, Davenport was sui generis. We shall not see his like again.

Sleep deprivation can lead to serious health risks both mentally and physically. Not getting enough sleep can lead to depression, irritability, mood swings, cardiovascular disease, slower reaction times, impaired concentration, impaired decision making, decreased test scores, impaired immune system, and more.
Sleep deprivation affects millions of Americans and as with most things, our ability to get quality sleep decreases as we age. In the following article from the New York Times avoiding caffeine, drinking milk before bed time, and other lifestyle changes are not the only ways to increase ones quality of sleep.
Studies have found that in general, the optimal temperature for sleep is quite cool, around 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. For some, temperatures that fall too far below or above this range can lead to restlessness.
Temperatures in this range, it seems, help facilitate the decrease in core body temperature that in turn initiates sleepiness. A growing number of studies are finding that temperature regulation plays a role in many cases of chronic insomnia. Researchers have shown, for example, that insomniacs tend to have a warmer core body temperature than normal sleepers just before bed, which leads to heightened arousal and a struggle to fall asleep as the body tries to reset its internal thermostat.
For normal sleepers, the drop in core temperature is m...

here is my thesis statment. would like an opinion.
Each day millions of children across the United States go to school to learn, only to instead find violence.
I question the accuracy of your statement. Do millions of children find violence in school every day?
In the 2006-2007 school year, there were approximately 64 million students in grades K through 12 in the US.
When you say "millions," how many of these 64 million do you mean? How will you prove that?
I think, and I believe Ms. Sue will agree, that you have an untenable statement. You need to re-think what you really want to say.
Your thesis statement must include factual information plus your position/opinion/stance. Without your position on the topic, it isn't a true thesis statement. So think of this sentence as the angle you want to take on the topic and what you intend to prove by the end of your paper. (If your statement is simply factual, then there's nothing to prove!)
This is one of the very best places I've seen online to help students write good thesis statements. It shows you sentences that aren't thesis statements and how to turn each one into real thesis statements.
Actually, I disagree with Writeacher. I think you did write what you wanted to say, however, I do agree it is silly, ill-thought out, and fodder for shallow thinkers.
The purpose of education is to sharpen our analytic and communication skills. In doing that, we sharpen the words we use to avoid vagueness and shallow analysis.
Finally, I wonder just what you mean by "violence"...that in itself is an ill defined word.

Department of Geological Sciences, The University of Texas at Austin
The biosphere is a fundamental component in the weathering of framework silicates. Plants, bacteria, fungi, even mammals, excrete organic waste products that can react with the components of their surrounding geologic materials.Organic acids from the biosphere have been implicated as important reactants in a number of weathering environments. Organic acids may accelerate silicate dissolution, increase silicate solubility, mobilize aluminum and silica, and alter the equilibrium between the solution and the precipitated secondary phases. While the reaction kinetics of aluminosilicate hydrolysis in inorganic aqueous solutions has been examined in detail, mechanisms of dissolution in organic electrolyte solutions are relatively unknown due to difficulties in isolating competing reactions and processes in the system. Our research examines the role of the biosphere in weathering by examining the mechanisms of organic-acid enhanced silicate dissolution.
Citric acid, tropolone, and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, known as microbially generated siderophores, were examined for their effects on albite, microcline, kyanite, andalusite, quartz and gibbsite dissolution kinetics. Mineral dissolution experiments were performed at multiple temperatures in various inorganic/organic electrolyte solutions to deduce the nature of organic acid-enhanced mineral dissolution. Mineral surface titration was performed at various electrolyte concentrations in order to determine the effect of ionic strength on surface interactions. UV-difference spectroscopy was used to determine the relative complexation equilibria between organic acids and metals. Possible changes in mineral surface characteristics before and after the dissolution experiments were monitored by BET surface area measurements and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
In inorganic electrolyte solutions kyanite and andalusite dissolution rates (unlike quartz) decreased as ionic strength increased while microcline rates showed less influenced. Surface titration results showed less protons were adsorbed at the mineral surface at high ionic strength conditions. UV-difference experiments showed a stable tropolone-silica complex was forming at pH~5 while no significant degree of complexation was found at pH~3. Stable Al-organic complexes, however, were formed at pH~3. Dissolution experiments in organic electrolyte solutions showed that organic acids decrease the activation energies of mineral dissolution reactions. Arrhenius plots of the rate results showed non-linear relationships at low temperature region (10~25C).
These results suggest that (1) possible charged ionic species (opposite signs to each other) may be involved in at least one of the intermediate elementary reaction steps of kyanite and andalusite dissolution; (2) microbially generated siderophores be effective weathering agents at near-neutral pH conditions by forming stable silica-organic solution complexes where aluminum-organic complexes probably decrease; (3) organic acids increase the mineral dissolution rates via metal-organic surface complexation by weakening the rate-limiting framework bonds; (4) the relative importance of organic acids in mineral dissolution rates could be greater at low temperature.

Hugh Hefner
Las Vegas has always been known for its lavish celebrations, and over the weekend the Playboy Playmate of the Year 2009 party hit town.
Hugh Hefner and a bevy of beautiful Playboy Playmates invaded the Palms Hotel and Casino for the annual gala, and there was no shortage of eye candy.
She's always up for a good time, and last night (April 29) Holly Madison was spotted arriving at the Pepsi Throwback Launch Party in Los Angeles.
The "Girls Next Door" starlet looked pretty in pink as she made her way inside World On Wheels for the roller derby shindig, sporting a pink top, pink shorts, and long white tube socks with pink stripes.
It was a bit of a shocker when Hugh Hefner and Holly Madison split up last October after seven years of dating. And now the Playboy mogul says he wishes Miss Madison would move back into the Playboy Mansion.
According to FOX Pop Tarts, Hef isn't sold on his relationship with current flame Crystal Harris. "How serious, and intimate, and important that works out to be, well we'll have to wait and see because it's only a couple months old."
She's engaged to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett, and yesterday (April 5) Kendra Wilkinson wasn't shy about showing off her blinging engagement ring.
The "Girls Next Door" hottie was spotted greeting fans before the 2nd Annual Bravo A-List Awards at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles, looking stunning in a salmon-colored one-shoulder dress with blue heels.
Always one to celebrate in style, Hugh Hefner enjoyed a day-long birthday party on Saturday (April 4) at the Palms Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Never one to have trouble juggling relationships, the Playboy mogul, who turns 83 years old on Thursday (April 9), was joined for the early celebration by his past and present girlfriends.
We're used to seeing her prancing around industry parties and fashion shows, but yesterday (March 25) Pamela Anderson was spotted meandering around the campus of Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.
The former "Baywatch" babe looked to be enjoying herself as she strolled around, sporting a strapless white sundress and a pair of black sunglasses and chatting on her mobile phone.
Continuing her romp around the globe, Bridget Marquardt was back out for more filming of her new reality show "Bridget's Sexiest Beaches" on Monday afternoon (March 23).
The former "Girls Next Door" star hopped into a figure-revealing black swimsuit as she playfully posed for the cameras while lounging next to the pool.
Drumming up interest in her new Travel Channel gig "Bridget's Sexiest Beaches," Bridget Marquardt was spotted out for a promotional appearance this morning (March 6).
The "Girls Next Door" dame was all smiles as she dropped by the "Morning Show with Mike and Juliet" in the Manhattan borough of New York City.
She may be an internationally-known, Oscar-winning actress, but this morning (March 4) Kate Winslet was more worried about playing the role of mom.
The "Revolutionary Road" hottie was spotted taking her daughter Mia Honey to school, braving the biting chill of the New York City weather.
Following her breakup with Hugh Hefner, she moved on quickly to Criss Angel. And now that she's single again, Holly Madison says she's staying that way.
The former Playboy Playmate has reportedly issued herself a ban on dating until further notice, which may end up being permanent, she says.

Looking for ways to save money on groceries? Are you the type of person who'd rather skip the hassle of clipping coupons?
If so, I've discovered a few food-buying programs that will help you cut costs.
How These Programs Work
These programs buy quality food from first-rate suppliers at big discounts. Because of the discounts, they can pass some of the savings along to you. The food items may come fresh, frozen, or packaged.
Orders and distribution are handled by local host sites, which include churches, schools, and other community-action organizations. You can order as many units as you like, and there are no income restrictions.
The menu varies from month to month, so you can enjoy different foods.
How to Make a Purchase
Making a purchase is straightforward.
- You search for a local pickup site and place an order.
- The food gets delivered to the host site.
- You pick up your order at the host site when ready.
Another great thing about these programs is that if you're an organization that's interested in offering these food items to your community, you can partner with these programs by applying to be a host site.
Lastly, check out each program and see if their menu items suit your taste and dietary needs before buying.
Okay, here are three food-buying programs.
Angel Food Ministries
site: angelfoodministries.com
This program is the most widely available, with locations in the U.S. and Canada. They have the largest selections of prepackaged food items, and they accept food stamps. They estimate that you can save $28 in grocery costs if you purchase their signature box.
Sample Menu
- Signature Box – $35 (feeds a family of four for a week)
- Golden Cuisine – $29 (ten convenience meals for people on the go)
- Allergen Free Food Box – $25
- Premium Box – $55
If you become a host site, Angel Food will donate $1 to your benevolence fund for every box distributed. It's their way of giving back to you.
Treasure Box
site: thetreasurebox.org
Treasure Box isn't as widely available as Angel Food Ministries. It's only available in California, Arizona, and Nevada.
- The Treasure Box – $32 (over 20 pounds of food that can feed a family of four for a week)
- The Hearty Proteiin Box – $32 (about 12 pounds of protein items)
- Quick and Healthy Meal Box – $32 (10 packaged meals that are low in fat and cholesterol)
- Simply Enough – $24 (a smaller box for people with fewer needs)
Some locations accept food stamps. Treasure Box will also donate money to each host site for every box that's ordered through that site.
Golden Share Foods
site: goldensharefoods.com
This program is most limited in scope, as it's only available in Southern California. But if you live in San Diego, you'll find many available pickup locations.
- Basic – $30
- Veggie – $20
- Mega Meat – $36
They seem to participate in SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
I hope this helps you get groceries at much lower costs!

Argonne IL (SPX) Jul 31, 2007
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have identified a new technique for cleansing contaminated water and potentially purifying hydrogen for use in fuel cells, thanks to the discovery of a innovative type of porous material. Argonne materials scientists Peter Chupas and Mercouri Kanatzidis, along with colleagues at Northwestern and Michigan State universities, created and characterized porous semiconducting aerogels at Argonne's Advanced Photon Source (APS).
The researchers then submerged a fraction of a gram of the aerogel in a solution of mercury-contaminated water and found that the gel removed more than 99.99 percent of the heavy metal. The researchers believe that these gels can be used not only for this kind of environmental cleanup but also to remove impurities from hydrogen gas that could damage the catalysts in potential hydrogen fuel cells.
"When people talk about the hydrogen economy, one of the big questions they're asking is 'Can you make hydrogen pure enough that it doesn't poison the catalyst?'" Chupas said. "While there's been a big push for hydrogen storage and a big push to make fuel cells, there has not been nearly as big a push to find out where the clean hydrogen to feed all that will come from."
The aerogels, which are fashioned from chalcogenides - molecules centered on the elements found directly under oxygen in the periodic table - are expected to be able to separate out the impurities from hydrogen gas much as they did the mercury from the water: by acting as a kind of sieve or selectively permeable membrane. The unique chemical and physical structure of the gels will allow researchers to "tune" their pore sizes or composition in order to separate particular poisons from the hydrogen stream.
"You can put in elements that bind the poisons that are in the stream or ones that bind the hydrogen so you let everything else fall through," Chupas said. For example, gels made with open platinum sites would extract carbon monoxide, a common catalyst poison, he explained.
The research team had not intended to create the aerogels, but their discovery proved fortunate, said Kanatzidis. Originally, the researchers had used surfactants to produce porous semiconducting powders instead of gels. When one of the researchers ran the synthesis reaction without the surfactant, he noticed that gels would form time after time. "When we saw that these chalcogenides would make a gel, we were amazed," said Kanatzidis. "We turned the flask upside down and nothing flowed."
Generally, such reactions produce only uninteresting precipitates at the bottom of the flask, he said, so that in this case, "we knew we had something special."
Kanatzidis and his co-workers recognized that aerogels offered one remarkable advantage over powders: because the material maintained its cohesion, it possessed an enormous surface area. One cubic centimeter of the aerogel could have a surface area as large as a football field, according to Kanatzidis. The bigger the surface area of the material, the more efficiently it can bind other molecules, he said.
Previous experiments into molecular filtration had used oxides rather than chalcogenides as their chemical constituents. While oxides tend to be insulators, most chalcogenides are semiconductors, enabling the study of their electrical and optical characteristics. Kanatzidis hopes to examine the photocatalytic properties of these new gels in an effort to determine whether they can assist in the production, and not merely the filtration, of hydrogen.
Unlike periodic materials, which possess a consistent long-range structure, the gels formed by the Northwestern and Argonne researchers are highly disordered. As a result, conventional crystallographic techniques would not have effectively revealed the structure and behavior of the gels. The high-energy X-rays produced by the APS, however, allowed the scientists to take accurate readings of the atomic distances within these disorganized materials. "This is where the APS really excels. It's the only place that has a dedicated facility for doing these kinds of measurements, and it allows you to wash away a lot of old assumptions about what kinds of materials you can and cannot look at," Chupas said.
The paper, entitled "Porous semiconducting gels and aerogels from chalcogenide clusters," appears in the July 27 issue of Science.
The initial research into porous semiconducting surfactants was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Use of the APS was supported by DOE, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences.

Hi Phil,
I will offer a suggestion, unlike Hines, who responded to my posting by
quoting back exactly the same information that appears on my web-site.
"I don't wish to know that!" N. Seagoon
To be fair, he added a source note.
A visit the church in the Normandy village of Montbrai reveals two large
portraits of Geoffrey and a notice board full of articles about him. One
of these concerns his return from Angleterre to Coutances, and his death
in France.
So, *maybe* (I make no claim!) he relinquished his Earldom to his nephew
on his return.

The departure of Spencer leaves OSU coach Jim Tressel with a pair of openings on his staff. Defensive coordinator Mark Dantonio was hired as the new head coach at Cincinnati in December.
In restructuring the staff, Tressel was believed to be after a wide receivers coach already.
Here is a release from the Bears on the hiring of Spencer, who worked alongside Smith at OSU in 1995 -- when Eddie George won the Heisman Trophy.
The Chicago Bears announced today that Tim Spencer has been named running backs coach. Spencer joins the Bears following 10 seasons in charge of running backs at the Ohio State University where he mentored Maurice Clarett during the Buckeyes national championship season in 2002 and was Eddie George's position coach when George won the Heisman Trophy in 1995. It was in 1995 when Bears head coach Lovie Smith and Spencer were on the same Buckeyes coaching staff. Smith coached the Ohio State defensive backs.
Spencer, a running back at Ohio State from 1979-82, was the second player taken in the 1983 USFL draft where he played a year each for Chicago (1983), Arizona (1984) and Memphis (1985) before signing with the San Diego Chargers (1985-90) where he was a four-year starter at fullback. He returned to Ohio State in 1990 after retiring from professional football to finish his degree requirements and was named to John Cooper's coaching staff prior to the 1994 season.
During his stay at Ohio State he was part of three Big Ten championship teams (1996, 1998, 2003) and was part of an offensive attack which led the Big Ten in scoring offense and total offense three of his 10 seasons (1995, 1996, 1998). In addition to Clarett (1) and George (2), he produced 1,000-yard rushers six times during his 10-year tenure (Pepe Pearson, 1; Michael Wiley, 1; and Jonathan Wells, 1) including George's school single-season record of 1,927 yards in 1995.
The Buckeyes' starting fullback as a sophomore, he moved to tailback his final two years and led the team in rushing both of those seasons. He closed out his career with 3,553 yards rushing and still ranks third on OSU's all-time rushing list, trailing only Heisman Trophy winners Archie Griffin (5,589) and George (3,768).
Spencer was the Buckeyes' co-captain and MVP as a senior. He also was MVP of the 1982 Holiday Bowl, rushing for 167 yards and two touchdowns in the Buckeyes' 47-17 win over Brigham Young. During his four years at Ohio State, the Buckeyes posted a combined record of 38-10 and played in four bowl games, including the 1980 Rose Bowl.

We reported last night that the deal to transfer Mathieu Debuchy to Arsenal has been agreed, and that the announcement of the deal is imminent, and that news was continually reported on Sky Sports last night.
Daryl Janmaat – right back target
The deal is a good one for Newcastle, and it's £10M up front and bonuses of up to £2.5M based on Debuchy's first team appearances at the London club.
If Newcastle get the full £12.5M for Mathieu, it's a profit for the club of £7M on the player – and he was only at Newcastle for 18 months.
And with the £20M we got for Cabaye in January, that's a cool £30M in cash that Newcastle have to spend this summer from outgoing transfers, and we'll not even mention the £79.5M we got from the Premier League in May – so there's plenty of money in the coffers for new players.
That's got to be the case.
Holland went out of the World Cup last night on penalties – and Ajax goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen didn't really get close to any of the penalties – and went the wrong way for the first two – and Argentina won 4-2 on penalties as Vlaar and Sneijder missed their spot kicks.
It's a pity our own Tim Krul wasn't brought on again for the shoot-out but Holland had used their three substitutes.
With Holland now out of the World Cup we hope Newcastle will now go after Daryl Janmaat, who came on at half time last night and had a good second half showing.
Newcastle have also been linked with Monaco forward Emmanuel Riviere recently, although the fee of around £8M being mentioned seems high, and the other news yesterday was that Lee Charnley is leading a Newcastle delegation to France to try to tie up long term target Remy Cabella and other targets.
And with that news yesterday the Chronicle was also reporting there is a renewed optimism in the Newcastle camp as Newcastle are also going after two strikers.
And although no names were mentioned, we have to think Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette is also a target with the delegation in France.
Newcastle need to move quickly because our first pre-season game is at Oldham on Tuesday night, and we really need to get as many new players in as soon as possible in pre-season.
Newcastle have already signed Siem de Jong, Jack Colback and Ayoze Perez this summer, and all three of them are good signings.
We hope Newcastle pass on that renewed optimism to Newcastle fans by announcing a few deals soon – very soon.
That would be just what the doctor ordered.
Howay The Lads!!
Written while on (a rather hectic last) vacation in England.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Andrea Lazar prefers the title of "beverage director" to sommelier, but whatever you call her, she has changed the way Houston drinks. Lazar is a firm believer in the naturalistic notion of terroir, and a champion of underappreciated wines. One page of her wine list is devoted entirely to overlooked and underloved rosés. She is also an innovator. The restaurant's moniker is a nickname for a Mediterranean beverage called ratafia, which is made by marinating fruit and herbs in a mixture of wine and spirits for several months. From the beginning, Lazar has overseen the process, experimenting with ever more interesting combinations. Figs, blood oranges, lavender, Meyer lemons and Texas grapefruits are only a few of her favorite ingredients. The refreshing ratafias are served on the rocks or mixed with spirits to create wild cocktails that are spiked with frozen fruit cubes. Dark rum and blood orange ratafia with frozen pineapple rectangles turns out to be a great accompaniment to foods like grilled duck breast — especially in the summer.
Brennan's of Houston calls its cuisine "Texas Creole," and seldom do you find a cooking style and a restaurant atmosphere so perfectly in sync. When people walk into the old mansion on Smith Street, they look at the dark wooden bar and the magnificent brick courtyard outside and remark, "It looks just like New Orleans." The Brennan's building was constructed in 1930 as the headquarters of the Junior League of Houston. John F. Staub's L-shaped building with its garden patio was an adaptation of French Quarter architecture to the Houston site. It's a building style that might also be called "Texas Creole." The atmosphere of Midtown would be greatly improved if there were more buildings like it. After experiencing the gospel brunch at a courtyard table at Brennan's, your view of Houston will never be the same.
They bake seven varieties of baklava fresh every day at Phoenicia. There are Turkish ground-walnut triangles that ooze honey with every bite. And then there are the large Turkish cream and orange blossom syrup-filled baklava that taste a little like phyllo dough éclairs. The Persian baklava is layered with a heavenly filling of aromatic ground cardamom. And the richest of all may be the ones stuffed with ground pistachios and orange blossom syrup. But the bakery is only a tiny part of the whole Phoenicia experience. There's a meat market, a kebab-rotisserie chicken stand and a huge deli case, too. The choices of salamis, olives and dried fruits are unrivaled. And the European preserves, Asian lentils and legumes, and exotic spices are astonishing. But it's the prices that are the biggest shock – about half of what you pay elsewhere.
In the corner of the Kim Hung Market is a gem of a to-go counter filled with Asian-style barbecue ribs, fried rice and pig stomach. Really, you could feed an entire village for about 18 bucks! The deals here include an entire roasted duck for $12 or the barbecue lunch special, which includes fried rice, one veg and one meat for $2.75. The lunch special is a ton of food. If the pork stomach doesn't entice you, you can get a whole roasted pig for about $110.
Originally known as Shepherd Drive Barbecue, this is the restaurant where the legendary John Davis once presided as owner and pit boss. When John Davis died in 1983, the current owner, Jerry Pizzitola, bought the place from the Davis family so he could preserve it. The old-fashioned pit burns hickory, just like it did in John Davis's day. The sausage comes from a Czech sausage maker in the Hill Country; the barbecue sauce is thin and spicy; and the ribs and brisket are among the best in the city. And while the sides are plain, the desserts — which are made by Jerry's mom and include banana pudding and coconut pineapple cake — are excellent. The dining room sports one of the city's wackiest collections of bric-a-brac, much of it related to fishing.
After an up-and-down career in the fine-dining arena, Chef John Sheely has found a home in the more relaxed bistro category. Mockingbird Bistro is a perfect example of what a bistro is supposed to be — a place that's both comfortable enough to get a beer and a burger while dressed in blue jeans, yet sophisticated enough to take a date for a foie gras appetizer and a world-class glass of wine. The gothic interior decor, much it of left over from a former tenant, lends just the right sort of eccentric atmosphere to this Montrose neighborhood hangout. Sheely's crispy French fries in paper cones are among the best frites in the city, and his juicy, rare Kobe burger is a joy. And, of course, wherever Sheely goes, you'll find excellent fried calamari.
