If your arrival date is within the next 30 days, your full amount will be due to process your reservation. We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. Due to rate increases there is a $15 plus tax service charge on all American Express charges. Reservations made online will be subject to charge at check in. The balance of your rental amount is due at check-in. We can accept a personal check with proper identification.
All reservations must have at least one (1) tenant of 25 years of age or more.
No keys will be released until the balance has been paid and the security deposit has been paid.
To maintain the high quality of our rental units there is No Smoking and No Pets unless otherwise noted in the property description.

All rates and policies are subject to change without notice. Minimum stays may apply during peak times.
Foscoe Rentals Vacation Rental Agreement
1. CHECK-IN time is between 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. If the rental unit is ready before 3:00 pm, tenant may be allowed to check in early. However, it is tenants responsibility to call ahead of time and make sure that the unit is ready. Possession of the unit will not take place until the entire rental balance has been paid, including security deposits. Tenants arriving after 5:00 pm must call ahead of time to arrange for a late arrival. Late arrival packets will be left at our office to the right of the main door in a flip top mailbox. An envelope will be left with the tenants name on it and will contain keys and directions to the property the tenant has rented. Two sets of keys will be provided at check in. If tenant is renting at Echota a key fob to access the amenities will also be provided.
2. CHECK-OUT time is 10:00 am. Keys must be returned to rental office. If returning keys prior to office opening, place keys in drop box to the right of main door. Keys not returned at check out will result in a charge of $25/set and key fobs not returned will result in a charge of $100 being deducted from tenants security deposit or billed to the credit card on file if the tenant purchased the Vacation Rental Property Protection Plan. A late check out fee of $25 per hour will be deducted from tenants security deposit, or be charged to the card on file if tenant purchased Vacation Rental Property Protection Plan.
Visa, MasterCard, & Discover, AMEX, Cash, Checks, Cashiers Check & Money Orders are accepted. Due to rate increases all AMEX charges are subject to a $15 plus tax service charge due at check in. All reservations are subject to a $15 reservation processing fee, applicable taxes, and require a credit card number to be placed on file. Reservations made with an arrival date more than 30 days away require an initial payment of 50% and the remaining balance and security deposit or Vacation Rental Property
Plan fee will be due upon arrival. Reservations made with an arrival date less than 30 days away will require the full amount of the reservation to be paid, except for the security deposit or Vacation Rental Property Protection Plan fee which must be paid upon arrival. Tenants balance must be paid in full to take possession of the rental property.
4. SECURITY DEPOSIT and VACATION RENTAL PROPERTY PROTECTION (VRPP) Plan: Tenant has the option of choosing between the security deposit and the VRPP Plan. The security deposit ranges from $200-$700 depending on the property. The security deposit will NOT be refunded at check out. Foscoe Rentals will send a refund check to the address on file after departure date and it may take up to 45 days for the refund to be issued. Foscoe Rentals will not be liable for any charges resulting from the use of a debit/credit card for the security deposit. In lieu of paying the refundable security deposit tenant may pay a Vacation Rental Property Protection Plan. The VRPP Plan is $35 unless your stay is over 30 days and then it is $50. Purchasing the VRPP Plan covers accidental, reported damage due from inadvertent acts or omissions to the unit up to $3000. Damages not reported to office will be charged to credit card on file. The VRPP Fee must be purchased before guest occupies the rental property. Foscoe Rentals will provide a full description of the coverage detailing the terms, conditions and responsibilities of tenant and Foscoe Rentals. If tenant does not receive a description of coverage upon purchase of the plan it is tenants responsibility to let Foscoe Rentals know. Foscoe Rentals does receive a compensation for selling the VRPP plan.
6. CHECK OUT PROCEDURES: Tenant is responsible for following check out procedures upon check out. The check out procedures are as follows: Dishes washed and put away in proper cupboards, refrigerator should be emptied and cleaned, heat set on 60 degrees in winter months, all trash (including around the property) must be bagged and removed and placed according to instructions, all windows and doors closed and locked, dirty towels placed in bathtub, and if used grill and wood fireplace must be cleaned and emptied of any ashes. Tenant understands that any trash, cigarettes or cigars found around the property must be bagged and removed as well. Not following check out procedures will result in a minimum of $25 an hour clean up fee taken from security deposit or charged to tenants credit card on file if the VRPP Fee was purchased. Purchasing the VRPP Fee does NOT negate tenant from following check out procedures.
7. PETS: Foscoe Rentals offers a few select properties that allow pets. If tenant brings pet, a non-refundable pet fee of $30 is charged per pet friendly property. Detection of a pet in an unspecified rental property will result in expedited eviction (tenant will have 4 hours until departure is required) and a $25 per hour cleaning fee will be deducted from tenants security deposit or charged to credit card on file if VRPP was purchased.
8. MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY: Maximum occupancy must be strictly adhered to. Occupancy account does include children. Exceeding the occupancy limit set for your unit is grounds for eviction.
9. PROPERTY PROVISIONS: All rental properties are set up for light housekeeping and include towels and linens. Foscoe Rentals also provides toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, trash bags, dish washing detergent, dish washing liquid, and hand soap in quantities sufficient for a weekend stay. Additional products are tenants responsibility.
10. CONTRACT: Someone 25 years of age or older must sign rental contract and be present during the rental period. Contract needs to be signed and returned to rental office as soon as possible. If tenant does not receive rental contract it is tenants responsibility to let Foscoe Rentals know. However, payment of money or taking possession of the property after receipt of the agreement is evidence of tenants acceptance of the agreement.
$100 fee for ionization/air purification will be deducted from tenants security deposit or charged to credit card on file if tenant purchased the VRPP Fee. 2. No campers, mobile homes, tents, or campfires are allowed at any rental property. 3. House parties are strictly prohibited and may result in expedited eviction. Any complaints filed with the police or sheriffs department against tenant will result in expedited eviction. 4. Grilling is only permitted at units that provide grills. Propane refills are the tenants responsibility. If tenant uses grill it must be cleaned and ashes disposed of properly to avoid an additional cleaning fee of $10. 5. Rental property is not to be used for any reason or purpose that violates any criminal law or government regulation. Commercial use of property is prohibited. 6. Tenant is responsible for complying with buildings rules and regulations. 7. Tenant must not move furniture or décor in rental properties. A $25 fee per hour will be incurred and charged to security deposit or credit card on fie if VRPP Fee was purchased if Agent has to move any furniture or décor back in to place after tenants departure.
12. EQUIPMENT FAILURE and OTHER INCONVENIENCES: Foscoe Rentals will make a reasonable effort to provide any special amenities (such as hot tubs, internet, air conditioning, satellite TV, etc.) are in good working order and repair them during the tenancy upon notice from tenant, but given the difficulty of repairs to such amenities, tenant understands that Foscoe Rentals can make NO guarantees that any such amenities will be working during the entire tenancy, and that the tenant will not be entitled to any refund if they are not. Not all properties have air conditioning and NO refunds or switching of properties due to lack of air condition will be permitted.
13. LONG DISTANCE CALLS and TELEVISION: All rental properties are equipped with at least one telephone and one television for tenants convenience and comfort. Local calls and regular TV are provided at no additional costs. Long Distance calls may be placed using a calling card.
14. AGENT DUTIES/RIGHT OF ENTRY: If, at the time the tenant is to begin occupancy of the property, the landlord or agent cannot provide the property in a fit and habitable condition or substitute a reasonable comparable property in such condition, the landlord and agent shall refund to the tenant all payments made by the tenant. Section 42A-31 of the VRA outlines all requirements of rental agent. Agent shall conduct all brokerage activities in regard to this Agreement with respect to the race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status of any tenant. Right of Entry: Tenant agrees that agent may enter premises during reasonable hours to inspect the Premises, to make such repairs, improvements or alterations thereto as Agent or Owner may deem appropriate, or to show the Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants.
17. DISBURSEMENT OF RENT AND THIRD PARTY FEES: Tenant authorizes Agent to disburse up to fifty percent (50%) of the rent to Owner (or as the owner directs) prior to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, and the balance of the rent upon the commencement of the tenancy, a material breach of this Agreement by Tenant, or as otherwise permitted under the Vacation Rental Act. Tenant agrees to pay a $25.00 processing fee for any check of Tenant that may be returned by the financial institution due to insufficient funds or because Tenant did not have an account at the financial institution. Tenant also authorizes Agent to disburse prior to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises any fees owed to third parties for goods, services, or benefits procured by Agent for the benefit of Tenant, including but not limited to any fees set forth herein payable to Agent for reservation, transfer or cancellation of Tenant's tenancy.
18. TRUST ACCOUNT: Any advance payment made by Tenant shall be deposited in a Trust Account with BB&T bank located in Boone, NC. Tenant agrees that any advance payment may be deposited in an interest-bearing trust account and that any interest thereon shall accrue for the benefit of, and shall be paid to, the Agent as it accrues and as often as is permitted by the terms of the account
19. LIABILITY: Foscoe Rentals (hereinafter the Agent) is a property management real estate agency that rents privately owned properties for individual owners. You, the tenant or renter, are the paying guest of the homeowner. Neither the Agent nor the Owner is responsible or liable for any loss of the renters personal property or bodily injury or damage of any nature from any cause to the renter (including guests and invitees) unless caused by the negligent or willful act of the Agent or the Owner, or the failure of the Agent or Owner to comply with the Vacation Rental Act. The Agent is also not responsible for skiing conditions, insects, rodents, flies, or other pests, weather conditions, road conditions, power outages, acts of God, criminal activities, economic downturns, or any other activity, event or condition beyond its control.

Catawba Casino in NC?
The McCrory administration is considering an agreement to allow a South Carolina-based indian tribe to open a casino near the state line. Cleveland County Commission Chairman Ronnie Hawkins says his officials met last month with an adviser to the Governor to talk about a potential casino, to be operated by the Catawba Indian Nation, along I-85 - south of Kings Mountain. A spokeswoman for the Catawbas denied the tribe is looking to operate in North Carolina.

The King George V Playing Fields Trust and the Sports & Community Centre
About the Centre
The Centre has a fully equipped gym with a variety of exercise machines and a separate weights area.
A large multi-purpose hall accommodates such activities as five-a-side football, indoor cricket, short mat bowls, badminton, basket ball, netball, keep fit and aerobics classes, dance classes and major social events. Adjacent to the hall is a health suite.
Modern changing rooms with lockers and showers have been provided for football, rugby and cricket team members and officials, as well as for others using the exercise and sporting facilities within the Centre.
About the Project
The project was conceived to meet the needs of a widespread rural community of all ages around a ten to fifteen mile radius of the small Devon town of Moretonhampstead.
The King George Playing Field Trust registered charity, established nearly 50 years ago with a number of constituent sports clubs (football, rugby, tennis, etc), had an old and dilapidated building with very limited and totally inadequate facilities.
Rather than attempt to fix it, the community decided to go for something dramatically new and much larger.
The goal was to create a sports and community centre offering the widest possible range of facilities for the widespread rural community around the town.
This galvanised residents and friends in the community into action and many pulled together to create the design, develop a bid and business plan.
The project has been a model example of a community working together in an innovative way to bring new opportunities to people through a wide range of community, social, sporting and leisure facilities.
In delivering the project, the main contractor and builder, site manager and project manager were all local people and each gave some or all of their time and expertise free.

Uranium play Raisama has confirmed it will buy unlisted company
As revealed exclusively by The Australian Financial Review today,
Peak had previously planned to raise about $55 million as part of a $100 million initial public offering on the Australian Stock Exchange, but those plans will now be scrapped as a result of today's deal.
Raisama, which has $8 million in cash, has so far focused on its portfolio of early stage Australian uranium exploration assets.
Its cash will now go towards advancing Peak's Cadlao oil field in the Philippines, which the company hopes to bring into production by the end of next year.
Raisama managing director
Mr Berrie said the cash flow from Cadlao would help progress Raisama's Australian uranium assets.
"The acquisition creates a diversified energy company with a superior asset portfolio and near-term cash flow," Mr Berrie said.
"By combining our suite of highly prospective, advanced uranium targets with Peak's extensive portfolio of oil and gas assets in Asia-Pacific, we are gaining substantial exploration upside as well as exposure to rising demand for energy across a number of key markets."

Radio interference when rear window demister on
Hello all. This is my first post here all though I was helped here a couple of years ago with a problem with the final stage resistor. This time it is a problem with radio interference when the rear window demister is on. The demister works but the radio is static noise. I suspect it is because the rear window was removed to replace the trim which was damaged, and the aerial connection and heater connection were reconnected wrongly when the window was installed. I need to know where to look to find wires. Thank you.
Double check the entire rear window for any breaks in the heating material and take out the rear pillars. Inspect the wiring since the radio connections are there.
Antenna is on the right side iirc.
Left side C pillar (passenger side in Australia)
My E36 had a cable that loosened itself at the antenna amplifier a couple of times. Resulted in very bad AM reception in particular.
RIGHT side. See the arrow at the bottom of the antenna amp diagram? That indicates it is located on the right side of the car.
duno if the 318 has the same setup as the 320, but the antenna is on the passenger side of the car as the trap curcuit (part #1 on realoem) is on the driver's side. i had to re-solder the internal board of the trap circuit as my rear demister wasn't working...
I'll stand by my original statement that it's on the Australian passenger side i.e. the left hand side of the car.
this shows the trap circuit on the right and the antenna amp on the left :facepalm::banghead:
If the arrow points in the direction of the car: The amplifier (2) sits on the C pillar. The wiring(6) comes out the back towards the rear window for the connection to wiring on the window. Based on that logic, it's still on the left side just like the E36 (which makes sense).
If you are basing your statement on this diagram, I don't think that's a good idea. I know it's on the left on a E36 so follows it's the same on an E46. The radio module is in the boot on the left side so makes sense it's there too (but not proof of course).
Check the photo in step 3 here:
You can see the window on the left of the photo and the amp on the right. Therefore it's on the left side of the car.
Also: http://tis.spaghetticoder.org/s/view.pl?1/05/40/02
Arrow is reference to the way the diagram is "drawn". The way the digram was drawn also referenced (6) to connect to the rear window.
I agree, I'll no longer take the diagrams literally! :rofl:
I believe the arrow is in reference to the way the car is pointing/facing and it's clearly visible in the bmwfans.info links. Saying "reference to the way the diagram is drawn" doesn't really mean anything (to me at least).
Why does E46 Fanatics block links to bmwfans.info?
FFS. Seriously, with the link blocking?
Replace "-LINK-BLOCKED-" with
What's the point of blocking .info links?
Try this for size.
Radio Antenna Amplifier
No lets try solving the OP's problem!
Well definitely check the connections back there at the connection to the window and as I said to the antenna amplifier itself. My E36 some how undid itself twice in the 6 years I had it.

Well, that was quite an interesting Monday we had, wasn't it?
Tornado warnings in the Lower Hudson Valley, mixed with torrential downpours cancelled or postponed every volleyball match in the area. I don't know what it is about Mother Nature that makes her go into these massive mood swings in October, but hopefully calms down come playoff time.
Some of yesterday's matches have been moved to today, which you'll see below. I didn't get a chance to change the slate for the paper edition, so what you see here is the updated schedule. For my "match of the night," I'm going with Haldane at Arlington because this will be an enormous match for the Blue Devils.
The Admirals swept them on their home court in their previous meeting, so right away that has to be in the back of Haldane's mind. It's also a league match, which is self-explanitory in terms of importance there. Haldane is red-hot as a team right now, while Arlington is looking to stay hot in its own right. I don't see too many matches being more competitive than this one on Tuesday, so I figure it's a good MOTN pick. Given Haldane's recent surge, and the fact that they are playing like a focused, driven and hungry team, I say the Blue Devils come away with this one in four or five. If Arlington wins, I highly doubt it will be in another sweep.
I'm off for the night, but I'll try to check scores periodically in between frames at bowling, so tweet me or post any scoring updates you get so I can try and keep you all informed. Of course, if I'm missing any matches below, please let me know so that I can add them.
Here's the complete schedule, along with my predictions:
Tuesday, October 8
Lincoln at Scarsdale B, 4:15 p.m.
Saunders at Blind Brook, 4:15 p.m.
Putnam Valley at Somers, 4:15 p.m.
Brewster at Mahopac, 4:15 p.m.

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) says that Republicans in the House of Representatives have a "mandate" to prevent tax cuts for the rich and other Americans from expiring even though exit polls showed voters supported tax hikes.
"As far as Congress, Republicans feel strongly that tax rates should not be increased," King told CNN's Candy Crowley on Sunday. "Having said that, I think John Boehner — Speaker Boehner has shown his willingness to work out an agreement here. That can be done by effecting deductions, loopholes — which would include those in the upper brackets — so that the president could get the revenue that he says that he's looking for, but it will be done in a way that tax rates are not increased."

Okeechobee is a large, shallow eutrophic lake located in subtropical south
central Florida and is a major feature of the
Kissimmee-Okeechobee-Everglades (KOE) system. The KOE system is a continuous
hydrologic system extending from Central Florida south to Florida Bay. Lake
Okeechobee is the largest freshwater lake in Florida and the second largest
freshwater lake within the contiguous United States, covering approximately
730 square miles. Since 1992, the lake has had an average lake-wide depth of
nine feet. The lake has a maximum storage capacity of 1.05 trillion gallons
(at a depth of 19 feet). Lake Okeechobee is designated a Class I water that
provides drinking water for urban areas, irrigation water for agricultural
lands, recharge for aquifers, freshwater for the Everglades, habitat for
fish and waterfowl, flood control, navigation, and many recreational
Water quality in the lake has degraded over time due to high phosphorus
loadings resulting from man-induced hydrologic and land use modifications
over the past 60 years. The total phosphorus concentrations that currently
exist in the lake are in excess of the amount needed for a healthy
ecosystem. The in-lake total phosphorus concentrations have doubled over the
last 50 years as a result of increased inputs from the watershed. The
construction of canals and structures, as part of the C&SF Project,
facilitated the delivery of stormwater runoff from intensive land uses that
have developed in the surrounding watershed. During the last five years, the
average concentration of total phosphorus in the pelagic region of Lake
Okeechobee was approximately 100 ppb.

I find this old adage really appropriate with the podcast at the moment. I loved it when you guys managed every week but I sort of took it for granted .. sometimes I didn't listen for a week or so and if I missed the odd one it wasn't the end of the world .. but now!!!!! Will they?? .. Won't they?? ... is something wrong?? what will I do if they stop making them???!!! Watching the Podcast App each morning first thing like a seafarer's wife scanning the horizon!! A new one brushes aside those NPR "fancy pants" as I put my shoes on with relish, eagerly anticipating a (cold!) walk around Ashfield Park with two great guys!! Keep up the good work!!

Fibs on No Child Left Behind
19, 2004
By Gary L. Taft
Senator Bill Frist recently stated in the Knoxville News
Sentinel (Jan. 3, 2004) that "everyone deserves [a] good education.
The senate majority leader is absolutely correct. Everyone
in the state of Tennessee, and in fact, every student in the
nation should have an appropriate education leading them to
a successful and productive life as an adult.
What prompted the honorable senator to make such a proclamation
was the recent visit of President George W. Bush. The president
visited a local elementary school to celebrate the two year
anniversary of the controversial No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
legislation and tout its successes.
As a public school teacher I devote a considerable amount
of my time to preparing students for a world that can sometimes
be brutal and unforgiving. This is a duty I and my co-workers
take seriously. Despite the rumors being spread through the
media and elsewhere, we do in fact care if a student passes
through our classes and leaves without the amount of knowledge
we feel they should have acquired.
Any legislation that affects the way we do our job and the
way our students are educated, obviously prompts a considerable
amount of attention. We are always looking for ways to improve
our ability to educate and to give the community the "bang
for the buck" they expect.
However, in addition to making sure we serve the students
and the community to the best of our ability, we expect our
elected representatives to support and back our gargantuan
tasks. We expect our elected representatives to provide open
and honest debate when presenting ideas to the community regarding
the progression of the education system. Senator Frist's article
did not fulfill these expectations.
There are several questions regarding the senator's guest
column that I and other educators would like to ask.
I would like to know why the senator continuously
referred to the critics of NCLB as if they were some radical
fringe group living in a desert commune, howling at the moon.
There is a reason the critics were never mentioned by name.
The reason is that the critics of this legislation are the
teachers themselves. There is no question the vast majority
of educators and administrators oppose NCLB and have made
no secret of it. It would seem that Senator Frist feels the
politicians in Washington know better than teachers in the
classroom. This is not a good example of supporting public
If Senator Frist supports the public education system
the way he says he does, why did he only discuss the successes
of religious sponsored private schools, charter schools, and
a program initiated and financed by the Houston, Texas oil
company Tenneco? Not one mention of the successes from the
public school system. Once again, this is not a good example
of supporting public education.
What exactly do the above-mentioned variations of
education have to do with NCLB? Senator Frist presented these
ideas as if they were the offspring of the president's education
plan when in fact they are not.
Why does the senator insinuate that teachers do not
believe children of all income levels and races can be educated?
His tone throughout the article implies we have a racist view
of who can and cannot be educated. He states that critics
refuse to believe progress can be made and that despite the
claims of the critics, racial minorities and poor children
can in fact learn and will learn through NCLB. This is simply
absurd. Nowhere can he produce evidence of teachers not believing
any child can learn. Never have we looked at a student and
written off their chances of success based on skin color or
the amount of money they have in their wallet. In fact, the
accusation is reprehensible. To imply the teaching profession's
opposition to this legislation is symptomatic of racism is
disingenuous to say the least. Most likely it reveals a hidden
opposition to the public school system on the senator's part.
Why did Senator Frist knowingly misstate the amount
of money given to public education by presidents Bush and
Clinton? And why did he grossly overstate the amount of money
George W. Bush earmarked for education? Perhaps I am making
a bigger deal out of this than is due considering the amount
of money Congress plays with on a yearly basis, but in most
people's opinion, a $3 billion overstatement is a considerable
amount of money. Why did he state that President Clinton gave
$23 billion to public education in 1996 when in fact it was
$29.4 billion?
Senator Frist quoted an economics professor from
the University of Tennessee as saying that "educational attainment
has a direct correlation to the unemployment rate and personal
income growth" but failed to mention the rest of the quote
or the context for which it was given. The entire quote was
actually: "If we do not make the investment in education our
economic performance will suffer substantially. More investment
in education does not guarantee economic success, but economic
failure is a certainty if we do not make that investment."
This sounds faintly similar to the charges being made by the
critics of NCLB who are complaining of unfunded federal mandates.
Finally, I would like to ask why the senator plagiarized
a paragraph from someone else's work and attempted to pass
this off as his original thoughts? In quoting the statement
of Diana Lam, the deputy chancellor for teaching and learning
in New York City, he did nothing more than "borrow" a portion
of a copyrighted article that was posted in the L.A. Times
on November 24, 2003. This is shoddy academic work at best
and a violation of copyright laws at worst.
Senator Frist, your contempt for the public education system
is evident. Your agenda may be hidden from many, but rest
assured, there are others not fooled so easily. The teachers
in this state need someone to lead who will devote time to
saving and preserving the institution of public education,
not breaking it down. We need a leader who will put aside
the agenda of extremists wishing to turn education over to
the private sector and religious institutions and instead
work to improve the lives of the majority of our children,
not a selected few.

text: We have a ton of stocks that are like General Mills right now. They have come back down to levels where they aren't cheap or expensive after they'd spent some elevated time as bond-market equivalents. It is going to be hard to get them off the dime if the U.S. stays at this 2% range of economic growth. But here is what's important about that: These stocks have reached some level at which, because of their consistency and their dividend policies, it isn't worth selling them either. I think the action in General Mills explains why the market has stabilized. With this level of growth, you simply no longer want to sell stocks that look and act like General Mills. Certainly you are more attracted to cyclical stocks that could do better if you think the second half is going to give you 3% economic growth. That's why, when you get an upgrade today of a company like Western Digital ( WDC) or Seagate ( STX), two uber-low-multiple stocks, you know you have winners. You are going to be drawn to companies like Boeing ( BA), too. Last night, on "Mad Money," Boeing CEO Jim McNerney traced out a 20-year-secular growth path for the company. That stock can go much higher. But the main takeaway I can see here is stasis for the part of the market that had been falling apart. The General Mills-like companies out there -- with this Federal Reserve right now and this economic growth right now -- are just plain, well, hunky dory. They are clearly opportunities to be bought down a couple from where they are now, but they are opportunities to be sold if they climb back to where they had been before the Fed's May 22 signal that the economy's risk is now toward acceleration and not de-acceleration. The Big G doesn't have the cyclicality the market craves, but it doesn't have the pitfalls the market fears. So there's nothing to do and, sometimes, when there is nothing to do, it's a terrific statement for the market as a whole. Because this huge cohort just isn't going to hurt us anymore -- at least from these levels.

Acid wash not just a bad fashion fad.
What's your favorite way to quench your thirst on a hot summer day? A tall glass of iced tea? A refreshing sports drink? A frosty cold Coke? A frothy beer? A tropical cocktail? While we enjoy our favorite refreshments, few of us think of the damage they may be wreaking on our teeth.
Fruit juices, teas, soft drinks and even sports drinks are almost exclusively acidic, with pH levels below 4.0. (An oral Ph of 5.5 or greater supports optimal dental health.) When these liquids come into contact with our teeth, they erode the enamel, making our teeth more vulnerable to decay and infection.
The lower the pH of a beverage, the stronger its enamel-eroding power. Following is a sampling of common beverages and their Ph levels. Remember, the lower the number, the more abrasive the drink.
Beverage pH
Ginger Ale 2.0-4.0
Wine 2.3-3.8
Sprite 2.6
Cranberry Juice 2.3-2.5
Coke/Pepsi 2.7
Dr. Pepper 2.9
Iced Tea 3.0
Root Beer 3.0-4.0
Mountain Dew 3.2
7-Up 3.2-3.5
Pineapple, Apple
Orange &
Grape Juices 3.4
Beer 4.0-5.0
What's more, weakened enamel is more susceptible to abrasive wear, meaning brushing after an acidic indulgence can actually worsen the condition. So, what's a thirsty person to do?
Your best bet is to go for some good old-fashioned water. With no acids or sugars (or calories, for that matter), water truly is nature's perfect drink. Everyone deserves a treat from time to time, but to promote dental health, opt for water more often. When you do treat yourself to an acidic beverage, chase it with plain water or milk. If possible, follow up with a stick of sugar-free gum. Chewing gum increases the flow of saliva, and saliva helps to restore a safe oral pH.
Use a straw, when available. Straws divert liquids away from the teeth and toward the back of the throat, minimizing the acidic impact on your oral environment. If you don't have a straw, avoid holding the drink in your mouth for long. Take short gulps, instead.
Studies show that fluoride could minimize dental erosion, so use a toothpaste high in fluoride, and take the fluoride rinses offered at your bi annual dental check-ups. Furthermore, use only soft-bristled toothbrushes, which are less likely to wear away dental enamel.

I understand the need for a good bargain — but when Lucas told me he planned to dominate the all-you-can-eat pancakes at The Old Spanish Sugar Mill in DeLeon Springs, Florida, I knew we might be in for trouble.
The day started innocently enough…I went for a long bike ride, hoping to burn off some calories and make room for the smorgasbord. Then, we joined our friends Jim and Jackie, along with 2-year-old E, for a short car ride up to the springs. We unpacked and hit the water.
It actually felt like we hit it, too, since it was a frigid 70-something degrees. I stuck it out for about 5 minutes before getting out and retreating to my towel. BRRRR.
Lucas and Jim were braver, getting some snorkel masks out for adventuring.
There was about an hour wait for the restaurant, so we put our names in and figured we'd have some time to kill in the water, but after only about 20 minutes, this:
Rain! Buckets and buckets of it! We did our best to hide under the cover of trees, until finally we heard our names called and we took shelter in the mill. Then, it was time to take action on the all-you-can-eat spread.
First choice? Regular or 5-grain batter. You can probably guess which one I chose.
From there, we were shown how to turn on the in-table griddle, and instructed to pour as many pancakes as we'd like. We also got some toppings to drop in, including blueberries, chocolate chips and applesauce. So, this:
And, as predicted, lots of this:
It was a very cool experience, and since I'd just heard rave reviews about TOSM from Jane and Michael Stern, I was very glad to get to try it for myself.
Of course, as soon as we finished eating, the rain started back up, so we called it a day — a very good one! Lucas spent the rest of the night clutching his stomach, lamenting his lack of self-control, but I have to say…he did dominate that bad boy.
If you could add anything to your pancakes — what would it be? (Me: blueberries, chocolate chips, peanut butter and maple syrup. maybe some bananas nom nom nom)

Sydney's warm winter has failed to discourage families from sun-seeking this school holiday but a late snowfall has drawn many back to the slopes.
"We've really seen a spike in the school holidays and the remainder of winter as well," Perisher sales manager Richard Phillips said.
"We've had a little bit over 1.2 metres of snow in three days."
Thredbo's Suzie Diver said the resort's accommodation inquiries had increased two to three times since Monday.
"Skiers are fickle bunch," Ms Diver said.
"They tend more and more so these days to wait to the last minute."
For those staying at home but still seeking some cold weather fun, Bondi's Winter Magic ice rink opened on Friday, one of several temporary outdoor ice-skating rinks around Sydney.
Flight Centre spokesman Haydn Long said the usual overseas and interstate warm-weather suspects were still drawing the crowds.
"At this time of year, people are looking for a beach holiday," Mr Long said.
Bali, Fiji and Phuket remained popular, while Hawaii and Singapore were gaining popularity on the back of cheap fares.
Qantas corporate affairs manager Mark McGinnes said during the school holidays, "Qantas customers are booking flights to warmer destinations such as the Gold Coast, Cairns and Los Angeles".
But Qantas is also catering to the demand for foreign snow, running daily flights between Sydney and Queenstown in New Zealand through July and August.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely studied for their potential applications in many fields from nanotechnology to biomedicine. The preparation of magnetic CNTs (Mag-CNTs) opens new avenues in nanobiotechnology and biomedical applications as a consequence of their multiple properties embedded within the same moiety. Several preparation techniques have been developed during the last few years to obtain magnetic CNTs: grafting or filling nanotubes with magnetic ferrofluids or attachment of magnetic nanoparticles to CNTs or their polymeric coating. These strategies allow the generation of novel versatile systems that can be employed in many biotechnological or biomedical fields. Here, we review and discuss the most recent papers dealing with the preparation of magnetic CNTs and their application in biomedical and biotechnological fields.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely studied for their potential applications in electronic devices, hydrogen storage, drug delivery systems, adsorption and separation processes [
It has been reported that properly functionalized CNTs display low toxicity
The chemical combination of magnetic nanoparticles or nanocrystals and CNTs in order to obtain nanohybrid structures, follows various stratagies: encapsulation of magnetic molecules inside the carbon nanotubes (endohedral functionalization) or grafting/decorating CNTs on their surface (exohedral functionalization) by bioconjugation chemistry or electrochemical deposition. The strategies to attach ready synthesized nanocrystals have been achieved using covalent bonds [
The first attempt to fill CNTs with metals is represented by the preparation of monocrystalline FeCo nanowires encapsulated inside multiwalled carbon nanotubes, recently reported by Elias
The hollow cavity of carbon nanotubes can also be filled a variety of metals, such as Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, In, Zn, Mo, Pd, Ta, W, Gd, Dy, Yb, Sn, Hg, and Fe–Co (see references cited in [
One of the most interesting characteristics of these systems is the possibility to induce deformations to the carbon shell by a simple exposure to an electron beam. This induced deformation indicates that these nanosystems are more flexible than the normal graphite CNTs and might represent a potential source to create nanorelays, nanogrippers, nanoswitches, or nanomanipulators.
One of the methods employed to obtain Mag-CNTs is the encapsulation of magnetic molecules, such as single-molecule magnets (SMM), into the cavity of carbon nanotubes (
This hybrid material was further characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) whereas the magnetic and magnetoresistance properties of the SMM have been characterized by superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and DC conductivity measurements [
One of the most appealing properties of this hybrid compound is the synergistic coupling of the functional properties of nanotubes to the magnetic properties of SMM and the resulting non-covalent interactions responsible for efficient transport and encapsulation of the guest molecules into nanotubes.
In the field of photothermal nanomaterials, a contactless method, based on the local excitation induced by a laser beam, generated cobalt cluster-filled carbon nanotubes [
Similar results have been obtained by Barreiro
CNTs can be also filled with ferrofluids, such as superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4), and employed as magnetic sensors. Korneva
In particular, CNTs are open at both ends and fixed in an alumina template that has been placed over a permanent magnet. A suspension of Fe3O4 in hexane was poured drop-wise on the top of the nanotubes' opening. The solution penetrated deeply into the nanotubes by both capillarity action and magnetic field, which helped to increase the amount of magnetic nanoparticles loaded into CNTs. After evaporation of the solvent, CNTs have been cut into small pieces and properly purified. The authors demonstrated that these systems have good magnetic properties owing to the increased dipolar interparticle interactions. These magnetic CNTs may represent good candidate systems for magnetic-field guided applications.
A method to obtain magnetic carbon nanotubes by assembling a magnetic polyoxometalate (POM) encompassing a single cobalt ion (CoPOM, (As2W20O68Co(H2O))8−) or its isostructural diamagnetic zinc analogue (ZnPOM, (As2W20O68Zn(H2O))8−) to the surface of a carbon nanotube has been recently described by Charron
Most importantly, the authors demonstrated the preservation of the structural and magnetic properties of the POM molecules upon functionalization and also the existence of electronic communication between the molecules and the nanotubes.
The direct attachment of a metal cluster to the surface of CNTs has been recently reported (
The size of the metallic clusters (13 atoms) is the minimum size to impart the cluster with a spherical shape and good energetic stability. Moreover, the magnetic properties are also enhanced (magnetic moment of <0.96 μB/atom for Ni13 and up to <0.65 μB/atom for Pt13) by the small dimension. Unfortunately, no biological or biomedical applications have been envisaged so far.
Hybrid systems based on iron oxides/carbon nanotubes have many potential applications in electric device, magnetic data storage, and heterogeneous catalysis. The removal of azo dyes is an important issue. In fact, most dyes used in the manufacturing industries contain aromatic rings that are generally toxic or potentially carcinogenic/mutagenic agents [
The oxidant solution not only allows the conversion of Fe(II) to Fe(III) but also the generation of reactive functional groups on the CNT's surface. Further precipitation of Fe(OH)3 followed by heat treatment under a nitrogen/hydrogen flow, produced Fe2O3 nanoparticles that uniformly dispersed on the surface of CNTs with high loading (>50%). The advantage of this method consists in the preparation of magnetic CNTs without the use of strong acids or exploiting reactions for the formation of covalent bonds. Moreover, this system is able to remove the azo dye methyl orange from aqueous solution by adsorption, to be separated by an external magnetic field and easily regenerated by UV photocatalysis.
Decoration of CNTs by spinel ferrites nanoparticles with the chemical formula MFe2O4 (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Mg, or Zn) has been reported to improve optical, magnetic and electrochemical properties of pristine CNTs [
A recent paper dealing with the decoration of CNTs with magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and exploiting two different reactions (ligand exchange and chemo-selective ligation or "click chemistry") has been reported (
The click ligation has been performed in mild conditions exploiting the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction in an efficient and highly selective way. CNTs have been functionalized with alkyne moieties, whereas iron oxide nanoparticles have been coated with a dendrimer bearing a terminal azide group. Both derivatized CNTs and nanoparticles have been reacted with sodium ascorbate and Cu(II) sulphate in a THF/H2O (3:1) solution (
The degree of functionalization is different for the two reactions owing to the different degree of active groups (COOH and alkyne groups) on the surface of the CNTs. Oxidized CNTs have a greater percentage of substitution but alkyne derivatives favor a more homogeneous derivatization. Moreover, aggregation is reduced when the click chemistry approach is followed. These compounds enter easily into cells, are moderately toxic and display good magnetic properties. These properties can be exploited to monitor these systems by MRI techniques and to manipulate them with magnetic devices. The control of CNTs by external magnetic fields and the monitoring with non-invasive techniques opens new perspectives for targeted therapy or tissue engineering.
In the field of catalysis, CNTs have been exploited as magnetic catalyst support owing to their large surface area and peculiar electronic properties. In particular, Fe3O4/Pt nanoparticles have been loaded on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (
The authors designed a modified synthetic scheme and instead of using the most common acid oxidation method, the oxidation of CNTs has been performed by the nitrene addition method [
Another method to obtain exohedral hybrid magnetic carbon nanotubes is the decoration of CNTs with magnetic nanoparticles [
After the preparation of Mag-CNTs, the surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) has been added to assist the coating of nanotubes with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). Structural analysis of such nanocomposites by TEM and SEM, revealed that the CNTs were orderly decorated mainly at the end of the nanotube, where the COOH groups' density is supposed to be the highest. The spherical magnetic particles attached to the nanotube's surface resulted in a mean diameter of ~200 nm. This nanocomposite material can be easily manipulated by magnetic fields, finding potential useful applications in biomedicine and in the targeted drug delivery field.
Light-weight nanocomposites filled with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been demonstrated to be promising tools in the field of electronics, communication devices, and in the construction of specific parts of aircrafts and vehicles [
The Fe3O4/MWCNT heterostructures were achieved by co-precipitating Fe(II) and Fe(II) metal ions within a dispersion of CNTs. MWCNTs were pre-treated with concentrated sulfuric acid (to add some functional hydrophilic groups) and dispersed in aqueous solution. Addition of NH4Fe(SO4)2 12H2O and (NH4)2FeSO4 6H2O and ammonia led to the production of the desired compound (Fe3O4/MWCNTs) (
Another method to assemble magnetic nanoparticles on the surface of CNTs without disrupting the pristine nanotube structure has been reported by Li
Another kind of coating has been reported by Gao
The authors employed these systems to manipulate blood cells in a magnetic field. This technique emphasizes the importance of magnetic biomanipulation of cells, genes, and DNA in bioengineering, biomedical therapy, and single-object technology.
Another means to obtain magnetic carbon nanotubes is the attachment of polymer-coated magnetic nanoparticles to the surface of CNTs previously modified with proper reactive groups (
The anhydride rings of the polymer coating have been opened by reacting the nanoparticles with an excess of
In a recent paper, nearly monodisperse CoFe2O4 nanoparticles have been deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by high-temperature hydrolysis and inorganic polymerization of Co(II) and Fe(III) salts in a polyol solution, affording a novel hybrid nanosystem [
Another means to obtain magnetic CNTs without coating the nanotube's surface with "adsorbent" molecules (
The nanoparticles embedded into the nanotube structure are stable even under extreme pH conditions. The particles are distributed throughout the tube length and have an average size of 15 nm. Moreover, this particular procedure allows obtaining nanotubes that can be further functionalized, as the majority of the surface is unaltered, compared to pristine CNTs. This is an advantage over the typical approach of grafting magnetic nanoparticles on the surface of CNTs, or through filling their inner cavity, as the surface is free to accommodate other biological or chemical molecules. This characteristic permits a further functionalization of the graphitic surface with other molecules (
As reported above, the functionalization of magnetic CNTs can be divided into two main strategies: endohedral or exohedral. There are few examples of endohedral preparation in the literature, mainly due to the difficulty in the encapsulation of magnetic materials into a very small nanostructure. The use of supercritical fluids or growing CNTs on specific templates may represent a difficult synthetic strategy for biomedical researchers. Conversely, the exohedral preparation seems more versatile with a different range of polymers used as coating agents and several coupling chemistry adopted for functionalization. This also allows incorporation of drugs within the CNT multifunctional assembly for therapeutic applications. In addition, the exohedral preparation of Mag-CNTs can be exploited also by those researchers who do not have specific chemical expertise or complex instruments for CNTs synthesis. Moreover, pristine CNTs are easily available commercially for most of the applications described in the previous paragraphs.
One of the most discussed aspects when dealing with CNT-based nanostructures is their nanotoxicity and their effects
Functionalized carbon nanotubes have been employed in many fields ranging from biotechnological to analytical biochemistry due to their versatile magnetic properties. Here, we present some interesting applications of multifunctional magnetic CNTs in the biomedical/biotechnological field. For brevity, we summarize only the main findings avoiding a description of those papers where the magnetic properties of CNTs are only due to synthetic impurities, and direct readers to the original papers for more detailed descriptions.
In the papers that we have examined and discussed below, magnetic CNTs are generally employed as starting materials for the preparation of more complex multifunctional vectors. These vectors bear fluorescent moieties (
A multicomponent CNT-based system for cellular imaging applications has been recently reported [
Another application in cancer targeted imaging and magnetically guided drug delivery has been recently reported by Chen
In this work, simultaneous cancer-targeted optical imaging
Magnetic CNTs can be also employed to track cells as in the case of haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells [

Washington, DC -- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) are pleased to announce the publication of the first collaborative breastfeeding guide aimed at physicians. Breastfeeding Handbook for Physicians enhances awareness of the benefits and importance of breastfeeding and increases knowledge of breastfeeding physiology and practice.
"This handbook on breastfeeding and lactation management is directed specifically toward the physician," says ACOG Fellow Sharon B. Mass, MD, one of the book's editors. "It is designed to be an easy reference for clinical use on a day-to-day basis. It is written in a format that addresses management of breastfeeding from preconception through pregnancy and postpartum."
ACOG and AAP recognize breastfeeding as the preferred method of feeding for newborns and infants. Breastfeeding can help protect babies against a number of childhood illnesses, including diarrhea, respiratory infections, some childhood cancers and autoimmune diseases, and obesity. Mothers who breastfeed may lose weight faster and experience less stress during the postpartum period, build stronger bonds with their babies, and have a decreased risk of breast cancer.
Despite the known health benefits to infants, mothers, and society, only 71% of US women ever start breastfeeding. The number of women breastfeeding declines rapidly as the child ages. Only approximately 36% of women provide their babies at least some breastmilk at 6 months; fewer still (17%) are doing any breastfeeding by 12 months. Until about 6 months, breastmilk is the only nutrition that most infants need, and exclusive breastfeeding is ideal.
The US Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2010 campaign sets high goals for breastfeeding, aiming to increase initiation rates to 75% and prolonged breastfeeding rates to 50% and 25% at 6 and 12 months, respectively. "Ob-gyns and pediatricians can have a strong impact on breastfeeding rates," says Richard Schanler, MD, FAAP, senior editor of the handbook. "As leaders of the medical team, both play a role in promoting breastfeeding to their patients. But numerous studies have shown that lack of knowledge and training in lactation issues prevents them from doing so."
According to ACOG and AAP, the handbook will encourage physicians to become champions of breastfeeding and to be able to teach, promote, and support the practice. The handbook covers topics such as:
The handbook can serve as a guide to teaching breastfeeding and lactation theory and practice to medical students and residents. Other health professionals, including nurses, dieticians, and lactation specialists, also are encouraged to utilize the handbook to achieve coordinated and optimal care. The book includes the latest policy statements on breastfeeding from both ACOG and the AAP.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is the national medical organization representing over 49,000 members who provide health care for women.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 60,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults.

Gareth Hughes is a Manchester-based designer, who has an interest in stories, music and writing. His spare time is spent on projects that allow him to explore unfamiliar creative outlets. In late 2011, he decided to try something new and began writing early incarnations of Gloam for David. Gareth's love for musicians such as Atrium Carceri and Trent Reznor also inspired him to undertake Gloam's score with little musical knowledge. Just something else he felt the need to do.
David Elwell is a multimedia designer from Preston, Lancashire. In late 2011, inspired by a friend, he made the conscious decision to create a labour-of-love project. Teaching himself the necessary programs, he set out to create a piece of work he could be truly proud of. Gloam was the result. David is now looking to establish a career in the VFX industry.
In this masterclass, filmmakers David Elwell and Gareth Hughes will show you how to recreate a shot from their short film Gloam, where a CG creature walks through a real-world wood. The beautiful film follows a horned wooden creature whose encounter with some fireflies leads to some strange experiences, leading up to a, well, you should watch the film above to find out.
We'll begin by tracking our camera footage in The Pixel Farm's PFTrack, importing the match-moved camera into Maya and finally compositing our CG character into the live-action plate using The Foundry's Nuke.
This tutorial aims to give you an understanding of a compositing workflow that you can use to create your own CG and live-action projects.
In the project files, you'll find the clean plate (background footage) and rendered creature as image sequences.

For fun I thought I'd add pictures this time. I will continue more about my kids and their response to my diagnosis later, but for now I'm going to show you some pictures of myself and my life after cancer.
I recently backpacked with a friend at the Charles Deam Wilderness, we had a lot of fun and carried about 40 lbs. each about 10 miles a day (we are working on packing lighter!). We'd backpacked together several times before, but with a wilderness club. This was our first time backpacking without the leadership and experience of seasoned backpackers. We did great and didn't get lost!
I've always appreciated nature and the out of doors, but I do more so post cancer. I especially love backpacking as it is about truly living one day at a time. We didn't really plan where exactly we would hike or where we would camp, we just enjoyed every moment of every day. Nature (and life) at it's best.
The perfect campsite..........
Backpacking is a new hobby I've taken up since my cancer diagnosis. Since my surgery I've been on 4 backpacking trips, two to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky, once to the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania and this latest trip at the Charles Deam Wilderness. Planning to do many more!

Hi, I'm a survivor of adenocarcinoma of the appendix. I was diagnosed and operated on in May 2002. I have been cancerfree for five years already, and am doing well. I just wanted to tell you that I am very happy to have stumbled upon your blog, and to know that you are doing well too. Though appendiceal cancer is rare, there seems to be more than a few of us out here with this rare cancer. Your blog is very informative and encouraging. I will vist often.

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your comment, and it's great to hear from another long-term survivor! I know of two others who are 6 and 7 year survivors. I'm sure there are others, we just haven't heard from them. For the most part I hear from those newly diagnosed.
I do hear from many who have met others in their own communities with appendiceal cancer, and sometimes it seems it is not quite so rare as we believed at first. One of the specialists is calling the disease "uncommon" vs. rare, he may be right. I also wonder how many cases in the past were misdiagnosed as colon or ovarian cancer, I'm guessing many.
Thank you for your kind words, great to hear from you!
Take very good care,

PSD Helps Detect & Monitor Storms Leading to Dangerous Debris Flows
October 29, 2008

As the wet season begins in the Western U.S., one of the consequences of the enormous wildfires that occurred in California this past summer is the possibility for devastating debris flows to occur, which makes the impacts of wildfires a year-round problem. Of major concern to residents along the central California coast is the massive burn area associated with the Basin and Indian wildfires. ESRL's Physical Sciences Division responded very rapidly to a request from Dave Reynolds, Meteorologist-in-Charge at the National Weather Service's San Francisco/Monterey Weather Forecast Office (SFO) to operate several state-of-the-art research instruments at Pt. Sur, California. Beginning in November, PSD will provide atmospheric measurements of land-falling winter storms upstream of the burn area. Once the instruments and satellite communications are installed, the data will begin flowing into the forecast office via the web. SFO will even dedicate one of their office's three 32 inch flat panel displays to monitor the special observations provided by PSD.
The USGS is responsible for studying the soil characteristics and types of debris remaining after the fire season to gauge the possibility for debris flows. They used a model to calculate the probability of debris-flow production from individual drainage basins within the burn area in response to a given storm event. For a moderately intense 3-hour rainfall (1.9 inches), USGS estimates that all but 45 of the 859 basins examined would produce a debris flow at least 80% of the time. In addition, calculated debris-flow volumes ranged between 114 and 126,000 cubic meters in response to the same short-term storm accumulation. Debris-flow volumes greater than 10,000 cubic meters were calculated for 152 of the 829 basins. Debris flows within this range of volumes pose significant hazards to life and property.
Due partly to steep terrain, operational radar coverage in the central California coastal region is quite poor. There is serious concern among forecasters that much of the shallow rain clouds caused by moist airflow up the coastal mountain slopes could go undetected by the radar network. In addition, the radar bright band that results from the melting of ice particles as they descend through the atmosphere will likely exist in the lowest beam of the closest operational radar. The bright band causes the operational radar rainfall algorithm to produce erroneous results. With the addition of PSD's research instrumentation, the NWS will be able to issue more accurate warnings to help mitigate impacts from flooding and debris flows.

text: Dear all, I've been trying to increase the performance of my modified BaseStation, but I'm now unable to do more. Problem: Sensors send messages to BaseStation, which receives these messages containing different sizes. At the BaseStation, each message is time stamped(Arrival Time), and forwarded to the serial port(UART). There's no possibility to insert time stamps on the incoming message. The solution I found is to change the MTU at the BaseStation to 42, so that, I create a new message and the payload of the incoming message is copied to the new message with higher payload and the time stamp is also inserted . These new message will then be forwarded to the serial port. On a PC the arrival time can be decoded through a packet parser that I developed. The application is working fine, but my big challenge now is that I'm getting so many "Bad Packets" in the Java application running in the PC. I know that, the problem is at the BaseStation. With low traffic the Application works quite fine, but with High traffic, it sends so many bad packets. The resizing process cause delay to create a new message and to forward the message to the Serial port, but what I don't understand, where these bad packets are from?. And what could cause a packet to be considered as a Bad Packet?. Because up to 97% of the packets are being correctly received without errors in the Java App. Any help is welcome. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

The Jeffco Sheriff's Office has arrested three people in connection with the slaying of a man whose body was found last week on Lookout Mountain, and authorities are looking for a fourth suspect.
Sheriff's investigators on Tuesday arrested Tina Moya, 39, Raul Nunez-Soto, 46, and a female juvenile, 17, in the fatal stabbing of Denver resident Richard Limon, 69.
Justin Ray, son of David and Mary Jane Ray of Evergreen, is engaged to Robin Gilmer, daughter of Claud and Tracy Gilmer of San Antonio, Texas.
The owners of Evergreen Fine Art, Barb Hadley and Phil Shanley, along with the rest of the gallery staff, have become known for their keen eyes for beautiful art and their charitable giving to their community. The latest show at the gallery, Weekend in the West, combines the best of these traits, promising to be a weekend of highly sought-after art and charitable support for our mountain schools' arts programs.
Have you ever fallen prey to (or perhaps used) the age-old pick-up line, "What's your sign?" The signs of the zodiac have been used to predict the future of people's lives for years. In the case of Evergreen citizens and visitors, these astrological symbols can predict the future of your Friday night — a trip to the hottest art auction in town at Stoneheart Gallery on Main Street in Evergreen. You'll leave feeling happier than a hippie that you finally paid attention when someone asked, "What's your sign?"
Evergreen High School graduate and Oakland Athletics third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff was traded to the Colorado Rockies on Aug. 23 for a player to be named later or cash considerations, multiple media outlets reported.
Kouzmanoff, who was drafted in the sixth round of the 2003 amateur draft by the Cleveland Indians, is in his sixth season in the major leagues. The 30-year-old was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento by the A's back in June.
Alberto Delgado wants to be a big part of reinventing the football program at Clear Creek High School. It seems as if head coach Brian Inman will give him his chance.
Inman said the main goal of the Golddiggers' offense will be to get the ball into Delgado's hands and let him make things happen in open space, where he should be pretty tough to bring down.
"He's going to be our secret weapon, only he might not be a secret after our first game," Inman said.
Steven Manning has a simple philosophy as to what it will take for him to improve on his junior season.
"Just not get tired," the Conifer senior middle linebacker said.
If statistics are a measuring stick, he certainly didn't appear to be too fatigued in 2010. The 5-foot-11, 205-pounder recorded 80 tackles — 48 solo — and five sacks. He also had 16 tackles for loss.
Those numbers were quite impressive, but they did little to help a young Conifer team avoid the growing pains that came with a 3-7 season.
Rob Molholm's outlook is a pretty simple one: More is better. The more running backs he has the more success the Evergreen Cougars will enjoy.
That certainly was the case in 2010 when the Cougars went 8-3, finished second in the 3A Metro South Conference and qualified for the playoffs for just the sixth time in school history. And 2011 could be much the same with Evergreen returning seven of its top eight rushers, who combined for 2,016 yards and 24 touchdowns.
The Jeffco commissioners rejected Aug. 23 the county planning commission's recommendation against allowing short-term vacation rentals.
The issue is being sent back to the planning commission and will likely be heard at its Oct. 5 hearing. The commission is now being asked to develop a definition of short-term rentals and edit the county planning staff's revision to the zoning resolution.
A man found dead last week on Lookout Mountain was stabbed to death, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday, confirming that the case is being investigated as a homicide.
The body of Denver resident Richard Limon, 69, was slumped over a guardrail Aug. 17 when it was spotted by two bicyclists who had stopped to rest along Lariat Loop Road.
The Jefferson County coroner completed an autopsy of Limon's body last week.

The Scarborough Hospital continued to promote a plan to divide medical services between its two campuses, as some residents prepared to question those plans at an open forum next week.

Recommendations going to the hospital's board of directors on March 5 will put "the health of our children, seniors and families at risk," Friends of The Scarborough Hospital said in announcing the forum next Thursday, Feb. 28, at L'Amoreaux Collegiate.

The hospital, which says it must eliminate a $17-million budget shortfall largely caused by a new way of funding health services, is proposing to handle all its complex or longer-stay surgery at its General site and all its day surgery at the Birchmount.

Birthing and pediatrics would be shut down at one campus – the hospital says it hasn't determined which one – while the other campus would see these services made into a Centre of Excellence for Women and Children's Health.

Pat Sherman of the Friends group said hospital officials are invited to the "emergency community forum," from 7 to 9 p.m. at L'Amoreaux Collegiate, located on Bridletowne Circle.

"We've asked for a frank, open meeting with the hospital to talk about our concerns. We have been unable to have that meeting," he said.

At last count, 109 doctors, a dentist and an oral surgeon associated with TSH had signed a letter warning the proposed changes, including a loss of pediatrics and obstetrics to the Birchmount, would in time render the campus "a glorified walk-in clinic."

Sherman said he's relied on the opinions of physicians and other professionals at the hospital, but also criticized the TSH administration's consultation strategy, which he argued involved the public in what are "pretty much one-way communication sessions."

The Friends group doesn't want to tell the administration "how to run a hospital" and recognizes some things have to change, the Agincourt resident said, but added turning the Birchmount into a specialized hospital campus "doesn't make sense to me" while keeping it a full-service campus does.

Administrators at TSH have maintained for months that campuses offering all services will run out of money as the province cuts health costs, and concentrating many services in Scarborough is more efficient and better for patients.

The hospital also insists their current proposals won't endanger the continued operation of 24-hour emergency deparments at the Birchmount or the General.

"We want to engage people in a meaningful conversation about how they will receive health care. We need them to be involved in the decision-making," Dr. Sandy Finkelstein, corporate chief of medicine and medical director said Tuesday, Feb. 19, near a TSH display at the Bridlewood Mall.

It appeared difficult, though, to "involve" Scarborough residents who did not have a thorough knowledge of the hospital. A poster at the mall display and on the TSH website (www.tsh.to/pages/Review-the-Options) asks people to "review the options" without listing any options they can choose from.

In fact, the only option residents were asked about at Bridlewood is where to put the new combined birthing centre and "centre of excellence."

One woman tilted her head back and forth for a while, considering her answer. "Because I'm living nearby, I choose the Grace," she said, using the Birchmount campus's former name.

The implications of the proposals aren't easy for even well-informed people to understand, and it's clear many decisions have yet to be made.

Fracture clinics exist on both campuses, for example, but when asked Finkelstein said it's possible they may consolidate on one campus and it's possible they may stay the same, though he added what's important is "people will know the care they need in Scarborough is going to be provided in Scarborough."

Visiting the mall, Rosemarie McDermott said she found the TSH representatives open to people's questions, and suggested it was important to ask some, but added the issues being talked about are complicated.

"I don't know how the public can really be helpful," said McDermott, who took a survey on the hospital's future and other material with her.

In a letter this week, Jim Karygiannis, Scarborough-Agincourt's longtime MP, said he was dissatisfied with the care a family member recently received at the General campus and appeared to support the Friends group's stand.

"We have been fighting for a few years to keep our hospital, the Grace campus on Birchmount Road, open and make it a hospital which would be the envy of Canada," Karygiannis said, encouraging his constituents to go to next Thursday's forum, "listen and work to make sure we save our hospital, the 'Scarborough Grace.'"

Senior TSH officials have been invited to the event and are still considering their response, Toni Adey, a spokesperson said Wednesday.

The hospital held their last community information meetings Wednesday, though work with focus groups continues and staff will be at a display at Agincourt Mall next Tuesday, Feb. 26, from noon to 7 p.m. An online survey on the TSH website closes next Wednesday.
