Are you struggling with memory loss? There are many potential causes of memory problems, and some of these can cause serious problems in your life. Lapses in memory can leave you feeling helpless and cause problems in your career, as well as with your personal life. Here are some easy memory improvement tips.
A fun and creative way to improve memory skills is to play games that challenge the brain. It is similar to exercising to keep the muscles in shape. With regular brain exercises and fun stimulation, you can enjoy greater mental elasticity and improved memory, along with many other helpful benefits. Popular activities with benefits to memory include word searches, logic puzzles, and crosswords.
If so, allow yourself a brief break, but no longer than 15 minutes, during every hour and use that time to rest your mind. This can help your brain absorb information much better.
A good way to work to retain new information that you're learning is to actually study it in multiple locations. When you study in one spot, the knowledge can be thought to be location specific to your brain. Mixing the geography makes it more general and a part of you.
Brain Vitamins You will make the information something you will remember forever if you make a conscious effort to study in a variety of places.
To improve memory retention, try fish oil. If you are having a hard time remembering things you may be lacking, add Omega-3 to your diet. These fatty acids are available in prescription form or over-the-counter. Most are in capsule form.
Memory can be jogged and improved if you try removing yourself from a typical study environment and find a new one. This does two things. First, it refreshes your mind with new surroundings. Second, it increases the effectiveness of your long-term memory. Changing your routine will cause your mind to wake up a bit more, and be able to better process information.
In order to give yourself a memory boost, you should consider taking ginseng. Ginseng will help your brain better absorb information. There are also other benefits from ginseng to help your overall health. Green tea also can help increase your memory abilities.
Memory loss is a vary tragic condition of an aging mind. Prescription medication may be the most effective course of treatment if memory impairment is caused by an actual medical condition–dementia or Alzheimer's, for instance.
Something as simple as doubting yourself can have a huge negative impact on your ability to remember. Many people are resigned to the fact that old age will bring memory loss. Actually, this is not always the case. If you expect your memory to deteriorate as you age, this could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Others may tell you you're forgetful, but question their intentions and don't listen to them! You can help your memory just by believing that it is still healthy and strong.
Get in the habit of saying things out loud. When you learn the name of someone, or something, repeat it aloud to commit it to your memory. When you repeat new information loud enough for your brain to get the information again, it will help to cement it in your brain for retrieval at a later time. You can say it loudly, when you are alone. If you don't really care what people think, you can still repeat it in front of others.
To make your memory better, rehearse or connect what you are trying to remember with what you already know. By associating short term with long term, you can speed up the process of making the new material go into your long term memory.
Classical music may improve your memory. Classical music is soft and soothing, and can help relax both your body and mind, thereby improving memory. An excellent time for playing this type of music is when taking a hot, relaxing bath. In this bath, consider having some candles burning.
Stress reduces your ability to remember where things are or retain new information. Make sure to relax if you are in an environment where learning new information is critical to success. Stay relaxed and don't get too angry with yourself. A relaxed mind is better able to recall things.
To help with studying, make and use an outline which can aid you in retaining the materials you need to study. When you can take information and separate it into segments that are related, it is more likely you will remember the information easily. The outline you prepare does not have to be long and involved. A simple organizing system will be enough.
If you're struggling to remember something, try coming up with a mnemonic device. Mnemonics means to mentally pair the detail that you need to remember with other material that you already know. These devices usually involve jokes, songs or rhymes and are an enjoyable way to better your memory and relieve studying frustrations.
Staying active will help your memory. You will find remembering and processing information much easier if your body is healthy. Exercising also carries oxygen to the brain, decreasing your risk of developing diseases that cause memory loss. Exercising regularly allows chemicals in your brain to become active and protect brain cells.
Use these tips to boost your ability to create and retain memories. An improved memory can translate into better work performance and better interactions with other people. It is our sincere hope that this article has been helpful to you and that you will be able to move forward with an improved ability to retain information.

B-division waited on shore for three hours until the wind finally picked up enough to send the fleet back out to the course. The races were competitive and close with the fleet pretty compact at times and boats finishing very close together. Hobart and William Smith's B-division sailed well getting two firsts in their set followed closely by Harvard University and Boston College. Once B-division completed their set the wind died down again and the racing was postponed for another hour.
By 5:30 p.m. A-division was back on the water starting their third race of the day in about 10 knots of westerly breeze. In the second race the wind died down around 6 knots challenging the sailors' patience. Roger Williams University, coming down from their high of just winning the APS/ICSA Team Race Nationals, started to show up with the leaders on the racecourse. They finished third in race 4A behind Hobart William Smith and St. Mary's College of Maryland. B-division went out on the water, but the wind would not cooperate, 'It was similar to the Women's event earlier this week where the wind just stayed really light—we didn't have any rain today, though,' Kyle Eaton, the regatta chairman explained.
In the last sets of the day the wind petered out, but the racing stayed close. Hobart and William Smith kept their focus despite the late hours of racing and finished the day on the top of the leader board. It is still very early in the regatta and there is a lot more racing to go, 'I hope that Dave [Thompson '11] and Sam [Blouin '12] continue their good work…We have had a great start to the regatta,' Scott Ikle, head coach for Hobart and William Smith, proudly states. Ikle continues, 'The conditions today were truly challenging, no wind and a lot of current. It made for very long tedious runs.' Lets hope for better conditions tomorrow and a lot more races.
[Sorry, this content could not be displayed]
Some of the competitors who have competed in the previous two National Championship events are accustomed to the conditions the Gorge has been presenting over the last week, where the wind and weather are not very predictable so keeping focus on and off the water becomes an important part of success. Racing is scheduled to begin tomorrow at 10 a.m. for the second day of the Gill/ICSA Dinghy National Championship. Visit the event website for full results, live coverage and more information.

text: MILLBURN, N.J. ( Stockpickr) -- An active topic of discussion on RealMoney has taken place for some time concerning the impact of leveraged -- long and short -- ETFs, collectively referred to as ultras, upon the broader markets. Jim Cramer, Eric Oberg and I have argued that ultra activities are a proximate cause for market volatility and, in a related way, selloffs.To a great extent, the algorithmic and high-frequency traders that I've written about before utilize these instruments, along with their derivative securities, to create and profit from market volatility. I decided to perform some research to determine whether there is a link between ultra activity and market volatility. First, let me describe some of the parameters and assumptions I used in my study. First, I created a database of of trading volumes for the ProShares Ultra S&P 500 ( SSO) and ProShares UltraShort S&P 500 ( SDS) and closing prices for the CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX). I used data for the period from Jan. 1, 2008, through June 15, 2010. It was in the beginning of 2008 that ultras first became popular trading vehicles. I then performed a series of regression analyses to determine the relationship of the movement of volatility to transaction volume in ultras as it pertains to the SPX. VIX was my "Y," and ultras were my "X" for the regressions. I was seeking high levels of R-squared, a statistical measure of how well a regression line approximates the sample data points. The R-squared tells us how much of the return of the Y variable can be explained by the X variable. An R-squared of 1 is a perfect fit. The regressions were run with a 95% confidence level. What is the VIX? The VIX, originally introduced in a paper by Robert Whaley , is a "key measure of market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 stock index option prices," according to the CBOE, and is widely considered to be the world's "to be the world's premier barometer of investor sentiment and market volatility." Be aware that the VIX is a measure of expected or perceived volatility and not realized or actual volatility. Thus, the VIX is what investors are willing to pay for options, not necessarily what the options are worth.

Utilities for Sunnies
Given last week's post "Utilities for Dummies," we would like to present an article that just came out in the Wall Street Journal. According to Roberts' article, many see the American utility as a long-time follower of the status quo with little incentive to innovate. Is this about to change?

Nicholas Bourff is the new Starke County Prosecutor, taking over from Julianne Havens. Ted Hayes sat down with Bourff last week and talked to him about a number of topics. In the interview, Bourff announced his staff including his First Deputy, Todd Wallsmith.
One of the questions Ted asked Bourff was what he will do with cases that are active, been filed by the former prosecutor, but have not been adjudicated.
"Every case is a little bit different," said Bourff. "I have spoken with Mary Ryan, the Chief Deputy Prosecutor, if she would like to stay on board long enough to finish a few cases that she's been working on and I would pay her to keep doing that. With some cases, I would probably have to pass some of them off because I have several active cases myself. I'm going to have to have someone else handle those from this point on."
"With the rest of them, it's just a matter of sitting down with the files, going through them, talking with the officers, whether it's the Sheriff's Department, the Knox City Police Department, and figuring out what the right forward approach is. My philosophies are not always going to be the same as the previous Prosecutor's philosophies. Some of these cases might be dealt with a little bit differently. It's simply a matter of sitting down with the files, reading through them and talking with the people I need to talk with."
We'll be talking more with Nicholas Bourff throughout the week.

I recently took a sys admin position with a startup and I need some help convincing my boss of a few things. It's not my first time at a startup, but definately the first time I have come into an existing network and found that allmost 80% of the client machines have Vista Home Premium running on them.
I asked my boss what his reasoning was at having them setup this way and apparently it's because they got a good price at Costco, so they bought them.
He has set them up so that they work fine and the employees that are using them don't seem to notice any difference between being on the domain and not except that they have to enter an extra password when they open outlook.
As far as administering the network, I'm having an issue with all of the home machines because I can't easily roll out patches and keep them secure.
I want to present a case for moving the machines to ideally Windows 7 Pro or Enterprise, but at least Vista Pro (since they are already using Vista). We have recently expanded our staff from 18 to 26, so we are still very small, but we are opening another office next month and if business keeps going at the pace that we are on, we will be growing even more very soon. I want to get a handle on this before we get much bigger.
I would love to hear some arguments on the Pro vs. Home question. If you guys can help out with that, I would really appreciate it.

Pro sounds cooler.
If that logic doesn't convince him, I fear nothing may.
Jan 25, 2010 at 11:37 UTC
Biggest reasoning would be that of patch roll-out and domain control. Domain would be a bit more secure. I would say to go with Windows 7 instead of Vista Business. Check out http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/compare-editions/default.aspx.
Jan 25, 2010 at 11:40 UTC
Must not forget remote desktop ability.. Home does not have that if I remember correctly. Remote desktop and Remote Assistance are big benifits.
Jan 25, 2010 at 12:12 UTC
If I were in your shoes (and I have been) I would focus on the time it takes you to update the home machines compared to the automation you could implement on pro. Based on this owner buying for price saving money appears to be a motivating factor for him. You are going to need to translate your argument into dollars to have an impact. Show how much time is saved and translate it into what he pays you or ask him to translate it into what he pays others. Most likely you will find that buying the upgrades would save more time then they cost and that time can be applied elsewhere.
Jan 25, 2010 at 2:04 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
I would cover several bases:
- Cost. It is far cheaper to maintain business machines rather than entertainments machines.
- Security. No domain, no domain controls.
- Best Practices. They exist for a reason.
- Opinion. Aren't you hired to be the IT professional? Your opinion should be taken seriously.
- Professionalism. If the boss doesn't take his company seriously why should the employees or clients?
- Growth. The longer this is pushed off the harder it will get to maintain AND to switch.
- Portability. Can employees just bounce from desk to desk? Nope.
- Replacement. It takes far longer to replace a stand alone machine than one on a managed domain.
- Imaging. Home machines cannot legally be imaged. Unfortunately, they can't be upgraded to be imaged either. You need a complete replacement OS and THEN a volume license.
- Volume. Unfortunately, your boss already went down a path that has barred you from getting Windows volume licensing as they require a professional license for each machine first. So you are already stuck with much higher prices and effort than necessary.
Jan 25, 2010 at 2:13 UTC
Cost and Control.
I am in a mixed environment, with half the machines on a Domain, the other half not. I spend much less time on the domain connected machines, and the users get to resources faster.
By having that additional level of control with GPO, I can speed up deployment by a huge factor. The faster I deploy, the more time I have for more important tasks. A brand new Win7 machine can be deployed in about an hour... an XP or Vista machine takes twice as long.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Small Breed puppies must eat a food designed for small breed dogs. A small breed dog food must have a small easy to digest biscuit that will also clean the dogs teeth.
Puppy food is available online or in store in a wet tinned food also which is great for small fussy puppies or for puppies who don't have teeth yet but are ready to start weaning from their mother's milk.
What do I feed my adult dog?
When deciding what to feed an adult dog the breed requirements and dogs size requirements must be taken into consideration.
An active working dog must eat a diet high in fat to minimise burning lean muscle and meet high demanding energy needs.
A quiet little dog would be better suited to a dry dog food that forces them to chew their food as they can get quite lazy and that is low in fat and carbs to prevent them from putting on weight.
What do I feed my elderly dog?Mature dogs have very different dietary requirements to their younger counterparts. Eldery dogs need higher levels of glucosamine and chondroitin in their dog food for joint and muscle health and higher levels of beneficial L-carnitine to burn fat and maintain healthy body condition.
Special dog dietary requirements
What do I feed my overweight dog?
When feeding a fat or 'over-loved' dog it is important to feed a high quality dog food and be strict with their diets. This means giving them less treats and snacks from the dinner table and sticking to a low fat, low carbohydrate dog food. Light dog food is available online.
What do I feed my dog with poor oral health?
A dogs teeth are one of the most important tools a dog has. A dog uses its teeth for eating, protection and showing body language. A specific oral health dog food is best for any dog with poor dental health. A diet high in fibre is clinically proven to reduce tartar in the dogs' mouth and plaque build-up while increasing whole body health. Dog Kibble shape that is designed for dental health will also improve oral health.
What do I feed my dog with sensitive skin?
To pick a dog food for a dog with sensitive skin, a high quality protein must be used. For example a dog with sensitive skin needs a protein such as fish like salmon or tuna, or lamb or chicken based dog food which is gentle on the dogs' stomach and in turn improves your dog's skin health. A diet high in omega 3 and omega 6 is best for a dog with sensitive skin.
A dog food high in vitamin E will also improve dog skin health while promoting a healthy, glossy coat.
What do I feed a pregnant dog?
It is important for a pregnant bitch to have extra fat, protein and carbohydrates in her food as she is growing her puppies. A puppy formula is best to feed a pregnant dog. Puppy food is available online.
A diet high in vitamin C and vitamin E consumed by a pregnant dog will provide the building blocks for a healthy immune system of the puppies. Added DHA in the dog food for a pregnant bitch will also develop healthy development of brain and eyes in the puppies.
What do I feed my nursing dog?
It is best to feed a lactating dog on the same puppy food formula as the pregnant dog was eating during pregnancy. A lactating bitch needs extra calories to sustain her own health while feeding her puppies. A nursing bitch eating a low calorie diet while nursing puppies while suffer from poor body condition as well as a dull coat and sometimes constipation as the puppies are consuming the nursing bitches much needed nutrients.
What do I feed my dog that has a sensitive stomach?
A dog with a sensitive tummy need s a diet with a high quality protein as well as a gentle fibre.
A gentle fibre in a dog's diet with a sensitive stomach will aid in bowel function and prevents diarrhoea and constipation.
How do I know if my dog has a sensitive stomach?
A dog with a sensitive stomach will have a lot of gas. A dog with wind could be caused as the food it is consuming is too high in protein or carbohydrates. Wind in a dog could also be a sign that a particular ingredient in the dogs food does not agree with the dogs stomach and is causing bowel irritation. Some dogs have a noisy tummy which means it is struggling to expel gas.
Another clear sign that a dog may have a sensitive tummy is that the dog may be vomiting.
A dog may have a temporarily upset stomach if their food is changed dramatically, it is important to slowly change your dog's diet if the dogs' diet needs to be changed. This is done by adding the new food to the current dog food over a few days: for example day 1 would be 75% original food to 25% new food, day 2 would consist of 50% original dog food to 50% new dog food, day 3 25% original dog food to 75% new food, day 4 can then be 100% new dog food. Slowly changing a dog's diet will prevent upset stomachs, vomiting and diarrhoea in dogs.
Breed specific dog food
Some dog breeds have special dietary requirements to prevent known genetic problems in the dog's life.
For example breeds with small mouths may require a particular shaped kibble designed for easy pick up. Or dog breeds with known joint problems will benefit for a diet high in glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health.
Breed specific diets are available for quite a few breeds, beagle, boxer, cavalier, Dachshund, Chihuahuas, pug, Maltese, Poodle, German Shepard, Labrador, Cocker Spaniel, Golden Retriever, Jack Russel, Shih Tzu, West Highland Terrier and more. If there is not an available food for your dog specific breed you may find an adequate equivalent, for example and Basset hound would benefit greatly from a dachshund specific diet as they have very similar body types and dietary needs.
Grain free dog food
Grain free Dog food available online and in store at Kellyville pets.
Some dogs benefit from a grain free diet. A low fibre diet is better for some dogs and may explain why a dog gets regular diarrhoea or has bad wind.

Brain Cancer is a type of cancer characterized by abnormal and uncontrollable growths of cells in the brain. The growths are called brain tumors but not all these tumors are cancerous. Some are benign and the benign tumors won't spread to other parts of the body or destroy normal tissue. Those that are cancerous, otherwise called malignant tumors, can spread aggressively and invade the healthy cells.
Types of Cancerous Brain Tumors
The primary brain cancer refer to malignant tumors that develop in the brain.
Common types are:
- gliomas
- meningiomas
- pituitary adenomas
- vestibular schwannomas
- primitive neuroectodermal tumors (medulloblastomas)
Most of these tumors are named after the brain cell or brain part where they originate. Metastatic brain cancer is the name for the cancer in the brain that originate from other parts of the body. This happens when the cancer cells from other parts of the body spread to the brain.
Causes of Brain Cancer
The exact cause of brain cancer is not known. Experts claim that following may contribute to this form of cancer:
- heredity
- HIV infection
- cigarette smoking
- environmental toxins
- radiation to the head
Symptoms of Brain Cancer
Some brain tumors do not cause any symptoms. In fact some tumors such as those of the pituitary gland are found only after death.
When there are symptoms, these would usually include:
- seizures
- weakness
- headaches
- clumsiness
- difficulty walking
Other symptoms are:
- speech difficulty
- vision abnormalities
- altered mental status
- nausea and vomiting especially in the morning
- changes in emotional or intellectual capacity
In some people, the symptoms are so gradual, they are easily missed. In other cases, symptoms appear too rapidly that the affected person feel like he/she is having a stroke.
Diagnosis of Brain Cancer
- Medical interview and physical exam may indicate if there is a problem in the brain or brain stem.
- A CT scan of the brain is also likely to be done.
- Some doctors also inject harmless dye into your bloodstream to detect any abnormalities in the scan.
- Sometimes, MRI is preferred for its higher sensitivity in detecting tumors.
- Routine lab tests such as analysis of blood, liver function tests, and blood coagulation profile may also be performed.
- To confirm the diagnosis of cancer, a sample of mass is taken to identify the tumor. This process is called biopsy.
Treatment of Brain Cancer
Treatment for this particular form of cancer in the brain is very complex. Most treatment plans are done after consulting several oncologists, radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, and the primary health care provider. Treatment depends on the location, size, and type of tumor, your age, and your medical condition.
The most widely used forms of treatment are:
- surgery
Most people who have brain cancer require a brain surgery.
- chemotherapy
- radiation therapy
This is a new knife-less technique that can destroy the brain tumor without having to open the skull. In this technique, high-energy radiation beams destroy the tumors.

When you create a new ticket is it possible to have it selected/active immediately after creating it. What I have noticed is that when i create a ticket and return back to the list of open tickets, an existing ticket is highlighted and active, rather than the one i just created. Does that make sense?
This topic was created during version 5.1.

I think it will update it after some time. But the ticket you just created should be displayed on you open ticket windows in a second. It is working fine with me. Try other browser if possible. I mean try Mozila firefox might be it is an IE problem.
Sep 12, 2011 at 1:08 UTC
IT shows up in the list of open tickets right away but it is not highlighted/active. I usually add notes right after i create a ticket and i have to select the ticket that i just created rather than having it automatically selected
Sep 14, 2011 at 5:35 UTC
I guess i am not being clear - not surprising to me. I have attached a picture to explain the problem. I just created the test ticket. Notice how the one below, cisco waps, is highlited and active. I would like test ticket to be highlited and active

I created a lot of tickets to test it by 360 angle but i think it cant possible in this plugin that it can select the new one as default. One other way is you can go to that plugin and post your comment regarding this. Also post this thread link to that comment so might be in future the plugin creator would add that facility to their new release.
Nov 7, 2011 at 8:01 UTC
I have this issue to and I just had it happen again. And its from going to quickly when working on the phone or trying to be iffecient and it comes down to not paying attention to the ticket you are updating. I just entered a ticket and not realizing it threw me back into the unassigned tickets view I entered comments, updated the time and closed the WRONG Ticket. We are wanting to make the ticket we just created the ticket that is now in focus within spiceworks not some other ticket. Hope this makes more sense.
May 23, 2012 at 3:48 UTC
Just happened to me... AGAIN! This has happened several times. Just created a new ticket to track the purchase of several service licenses. Then added comments about the order such as what licenses I've ordered and PO Number. Also attached a scanned copy of the PO.
Then one of my users who was having printer problems asked why I was ordering server licenses to fix her printer.... Her ticket was the ticket at the top of the list before I added my new one.
Having the system move to a new ticket would be GREAT as like others above, I more often than not add comments to new tickets.

Leading manufacturers provide much-needed help as they invest in measures to improve the conversion efficiency of locally available crystals. Reduced costs are a bonus.
The world's largest solar panel supplier, China continues to rely on imported polycrystalline silicon despite an oversupply of domestically produced versions. But major solar panel players aim to change that.
Due to technology issues, local variants do not convert power as efficiently as their overseas-made equivalents. They are more expensive as well. So despite incorporating polycrystalline silicon from Germany or Japan, solar panels from China are priced roughly 10 percent lower.
Now, a handful of the country's leading solar panel manufacturers are working to improve the quality of domestic crystals.
Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd, for instance, is planning to mass-produce polycrystalline silicon using a silane method that was enhanced in-house. The process is said to have low electricity consumption and reduce polycrystalline silicon manufacturing costs to between $25 and $35 per kilogram. Although this is still slightly higher than the $22 to $30 per kilogram production outlay at overseas factories, less expensive shipping and tax fees in China can result in lower-priced domestic polycrystalline silicon.
At the same time, Yingli, along with Suntech Power Holdings, is working on increasing the power conversion efficiency of monocrystalline silicon solar modules from 16 percent to 18 or 19 percent over the next three years. Compared with polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline is generally better at transforming energy from the sun into electricity.
In addition, many of the large solar panel companies are including thin-film solar cells, which are believed to be more efficient than crystalline silicon, in their R&D targets.
China's solar revolution
Polycrystalline silicon factories began mushrooming in China in response to the shortage in late 2006, with approximately 40 new plants constructed between 2008 and 2009. Such facilities, however, are not outfitted with sophisticated equipment that will enable them to be on a par with their foreign counterparts. As a result, output consists mainly of low-end polycrystalline silicon, most of which does not meet export requirements for power conversion and pollution emissions.
The advanced machinery and recycling technology at overseas factories, meanwhile, drove down any cost advantage China suppliers may have had. Chinese Renewable Energy Society vice president Meng Xian Jin said at foreign plants, only 150kWh is needed to process the crystals. In contrast, local factories consume at least 200kWh. Further, manufacturing facilities in Germany and Japan can recycle waste material and still yield 99.99 percent pure polycrystalline silicon, something China companies cannot do.
As a result, the price for a kilogram of polycrystalline silicon is $50 for local versions and $48 for imported variants.
Customs statistics showed China procured roughly 50 percent of polycrystalline silicon requirement from Germany and Japan in 2009. For this year, approximately 1,000 tons are being imported every month.
Grid connected PV inverter supplier Beijng Corona Science & Technology Co. Ltd projects demand for solar panels to grow 30 to 40 percent annually for the next three years. Growing orders have pulled up solar cell costs by 1.4 percent, averaging at $1.42 per watt. This, however, is not expected to affect prices of finished goods, even if rising labor costs are factored in.
Shaanxi Double Wise Digital Science & Technology Co. Ltd, a solar lighting solutions company, said quotes have remained unchanged since 2004. Its solar-powered sea or airport warning lights are still at $73 to $118 per set.
Xi'an Shengtang New Energy Co. Ltd said prices for its solar-powered lights will be kept stable for the rest of the year as well.

Toyota Recalls 39,000 Lexus LX470 For Defective Steering Shaft
When it rains, it pours, and nobody knows that better than Toyota. With recalls popping up like weeds, the company is forced to endure yet another ignominy by recalling 39,000 Lexus LX470 SUVs from the model year 2003-2007.
These top of the line trucks appear to have a defect in the steering shaft, that can see the part disengage after repeatedly enduring significant shocks and then having the wheel turned to full lock. No accidents have been caused by the defect, which is always nice to hear. Lexus will begin fixing the defect in the middle of August of this year.
Hit the jump for the official press release
[Source: Toyota]
Lexus Announces Intent to Voluntarily Recall Certain LX 470 Vehicles to Address Potential for Steering Shaft Disengagement TORRANCE, Calif., July 29, 2010 — Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today announced that Lexus intends to conduct a voluntary safety recall of approximately 39,000 2003-2007 Model Year LX 470 vehicles to address a steering shaft condition. No other Toyota or Lexus vehicles are involved in this safety recall.
This action follows an announcement made by Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan on July 29, 2010.
Lexus has determined that the construction of the steering shaft on involved LX 470s is such that the snap ring on the shaft may disengage when the vehicle experiences an unusually severe impact to the front wheels, such as striking a deep pothole. If the snap ring becomes disengaged and the steering wheel is then repeatedly turned to the full locked position, the steering shaft may disengage over time.
Lexus is not aware of any accidents related to this condition.
"At Lexus, we are committed to setting a new standard for quality customer care and aggressive attention to the safety of our drivers," said Mark Templin, group vice president and general manager of Lexus. "Our engineers have thoroughly investigated this issue and have identified a robust and durable remedy that will help prevent this condition from affecting drivers in the future."
The remedy for this condition involves replacing the snap ring with a newly designed one and the installation of an additional component to prevent separation of the steering shaft.
Lexus will begin sending out notification to owners of involved vehicles by first class mail beginning in mid-August 2010, advising them to bring their vehicles to their local Lexus dealer to have this remedy performed at no charge.
Detailed information about this recall is available through Lexus Customer Satisfaction at 1-800-25 LEXUS or 1-800-255-3987 or atwww.lexus.com/recall.

Nan, from Ultima VI
Nan is a Bard and instructor at the Conservatory in Britain. She works with her husband, Kenneth, and their most promising pupil Ariana.
When talking to her in Ultima VI, she seemed to be suffering from paranoid hallucinations seeing spiders everywhere she looked. She even had difficulty playing her lute because she saw spiders crawl out of it every time she picked it up. In hopes of helping Iolo had given her a pair of gloves for her birthday in hopes the protection they give would provide her with the confidence to play.
Tholden directed the Avatar to the bards of the Hall of Bards as he had entrusted the Mantra and Rune to them. Asked about the mantra she told the Avatar it is 'MU'. Asked of the rune she said they gave it to Ariana.

Miami-Dade's New Transit Director Wants to Make Miami a "Car-Optional" City
Photo by Humberto Moreno/CC 2.0
Miami-Dade County's new transit director has big plans. Alice Bravo, Miami's former deputy city manager, has several short-term projects in mind, but her grand vision is sure to raise eyebrows in South Florida: Eventually, she hopes that the plans that she and her team put in place in the next few years will make buying a car "optional" for Miami's next batch of commuters.
"It'll take time, but we have to take advantage of this enthusiasm to make Miami a car-optional city one day," Bravo tells New Times. "It's apparent that we have a younger generation that is not interested in having a car and wants to use public transportation. We have to make sure there is a system there for them to satisfy their needs."
How the heck will she do that?
Bravo admits it's a long-term goal, but in the near future, she says, there are projects that will immediately relieve congestion.
She points to the often-out-of-sync traffic signal system. She says by creating a system that can monitor intersection congestion and adapt on a moment's notice depending upon traffic flow can optimize efficiency. Once a system is in place, she says, it can become centralized and connected to the bus system.
"We want to get all of our systems working together," she adds.
For the longer term, Bravo is concentrating on "connectivity points" — places that are convenient for commuters in different suburbs. She wants to turn those connectivity points into stations and work to bring people to those stations as easily as possible (whether it be adding sidewalks or bus lanes). From these stations, she wants to work with local municipalities to create shuttles to quickly take people to other hubs around the city.
And to really tackle the east-west transportation debacle, Bravo plans to work with various agencies to put buses on existing highways.
The top-tier transportation shakeup comes after Miami-Dade's much-criticized former transit director, Ysela Llort, resigned last month. She had overseen the county's transportation since county Mayor Carlos Gimenez was elected in 2011. Even though Llort was credited with connecting the airport line to Metrorail, many observers have pointed to the lack of east-west and late-night public transportation options.
"The bus/train fares keep increasing, and the conditions get worse and worse. How is this working for [us], the tax-paying, hard-working residents?" one online petition to Llort declares. "Find the money, make public transit a priority, and fix our city."

Gimenez, in a move to tackle public transportation "more aggressively," hired Bravo to replace Llort. Bravo left her previous post as deputy city manager, where she oversaw six departments, including public transportation. Bravo is credited with shepherding in Metromover's Brickell extension and the city's free trolley system.
Born and raised in Westchester, Bravo remembers driving past Metrorail as it was being built in the mid-1980s. On the weekends, her family would sit in traffic on South Dixie Highway on their way to Key Biscayne. From the car window, she stared at the colossal concrete beams and steel rails. It fascinated Bravo, who was only a tween, and planted the seed for flashy transportation ideas to come.
Bravo went on to study civil engineering at the University of Miami before earning her MBA from Florida International University. She worked first as an engineering consultant on transportation projects for 13 years. Then she went to work for the Florida Department of Transportation, where she was in charge of implementing well-known projects such as 95 Express and the PortMiami tunnel. She was then hired by the City of Miami to work in capital improvements and transportation. In 2011, she was promoted to assistant to the deputy city manager. Two-and-half years later, she was promoted to deputy city manager.
Now, Bravo is trying to put that experience to use by transforming Miami-Dade's transportation policies. "The scope of transportation for the county is very large and affects millions of people," Bravo says. "The mayor's vision is to combine the public transits with the roadway through public works to make sure all of our transportation systems are coordinated to maximize efficiency."
Bravo wants to make sure the current transportation systems are clean, safe, and reliable. To that end, she's been studying the technology and transportation systems in other metropolitan areas in the States and Europe. "There are a lot of different groups with different ideas. Everyone needs to come together to formulate these plans that'll span out 20 years. It's not built overnight, but over many years," she says. "But we need to turn a corner and start acting."
In the meantime, Bravo is excited about taking Metrorail to work. "Our office is just north of Government Center," she notes.

Faisalabad: Sanath Jayasuriya and Kumar Sangakkara hit aggressive half centuries to lead Sri Lanka's second innings charge in the first Test against Pakistan today. Jayasuriya completed his 30th Test half century and was batting on 75 with 12 boundaries, while Sangakkara hit a strokeful 59 with 10 boundaries to lead Sri Lanka to 185 for 2 at tea on the third day. Sri Lanka conceded a 21-run first innings lead after Pakistan was dismissed for 264, and now leads by 164 runs. Sangakkara put on 98 runs in just under two hours with Jayasuriya at Iqbal Stadium after fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar (2-47) had captain Marvan Atapattu trapped LBW without scoring for the second time in the Test. Akhtar had Atapattu LBW in the first innings for no runs. Akhtar struck again off his first delivery in the second session when he found the edge of Sangakkara's bat straight to wicketkeeper Moin Khan. However, Mahela Jayawardene (37 not out) and Jayasuriya negotiated Akhtar's fiery second spell to compile 87 runs for the unfinished third wicket partnership. It could have been 15 for two had Akhtar not bowled a no ball when he found a big edge of Jayasuriya's bat to wicketkeeper Moin Khan. Aggressive left-hander Sangakkara completed his half-century before lunch off 67 balls with nine boundaries, including three in an over off paceman Mohammad Sami. Jayasuriya frustrated Akhtar when he edged two more behind the wickets as Sri Lanka raised its first 50 runs off 40 balls. (AP)

Representations of Violence against women in the media.(30 Posts)
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Thanks cartimandua! To be honest I think the biggest battle to fight is not 'I want to keep Page 3', but the sheer indifference. I asked my husband's nieces (late teens, early 20s) what they thought of Page 3 and they looked at me like I'd asked what they thought of verb conjugation in Sanskrit and said they'd never thought about it. That said, watching the Twitter hashtag #mediasexism whilst the 4 women gave evidence to the Leveson enquiry was amazing. I do think there is a growing hunger for change - and not just confined to female voices! Since I started posting here Dominic Mohan has been recalled to give evidence next week in light of the sexism claims. Whilst I'm not going to get my hopes up that this is job done, it does show that it is finally being taken seriously, which is absolutely amazing! The fact this is even being discussed in a public arena, rather than confined to a few feminists getting angry in a meeting room shows a significant shift. I think there are good reasons to stay positive right now! That said, a l-o-n-g way to go!
Oh, emcwill74, I do hope you're right. I also hope you can get through to your young relatives that their indifference will get up and bite them when they are older. Unfortunately, we are a tribal species and those who question the social norms will be browbeaten back into line, frequently by other women. It's just easier to give in and conform.
Not sure where to articulate this, but so much of Leveson is about consent.
Presumed consent.
"They didn't say they didn't want it" consent.
"They did say they didn't want it but actually we know they did really" consent.
The consent is about being photographed and watched and followed, rather than about sex, so I've been wondering how meaningful the similarities are. But this one's just tipped it over the edge.
If you have the stomach, watch a few minutes of Gary Morgan on Tuesday 7 Feb.
Earlier in his testimony (which starts around 128 mins), Morgan fails to understand a Q about people "showing they didn't want to be photographed, by their behaviour." He can't grasp what this might mean.
But from 154 mins, Morgan is asked about photographers trying to take photographs up Charlotte Church's skirt. And says no, but some slebs want to be photographed like that so it's "justified".
Asked how what steps he had taken to ensure the sleb had consented to this, he replies, "by behaviour" - explaining that going commando constituted consent to being photographed up the skirt.
I think I could take it if they said, "Yeah, we don't give a fuck." Instead they're falling over themselves to extoll the importance of ethical standards and respect for privacy, yadda yadda - and then squaring the circle with the classic "she didn't say No loud enough".
Apparently slebs - or anyone who catches the press eye - exist in a permanent state of consent to be photographed, spied on, etc.
Sorry, I'm not claiming this level of intrusion matches rape, but I'm finding the similarity of the whole language and paradigm rather disturbing.
I totally agree! I was shocked about that 'consent by behaviour' line too! It's along the lines of 'she was wearing a short skirt and had had a drink so she was asking for it'.
I don't know whether to feel cheered or miserable by Leveson right now. Jay made Dominic Mohan look like such a tit (pun intended) and if you search for 'Dominic Mohan' on Twitter there is almost universal consensus that his 'page 3 girls are good role models because they are natural and healthy' is at best laughable and at worst vile. But so what? Will Leveson actually do anything? I really believe there is an appetite for change right now and we need one coherent, cohesive, in-your-face campaign to unite all the people who don't like Page 3 but don't know what to do about it. I see these disparate voices shouting about it on Twitter and Facebook with only Turn Your Back on Page 3 and Object trying to do anything at all visible. But they are small pressure groups that most people won't even have heard of. This is why we need one massive campaign with people like Mumsnet and Girlguiding and the WI and any other big names at all, all shouting with one voice. I really think if we could achieve this the tide would turn. A few men whining 'but I like boobies' just wouldn't cut it in the face of that. And with Page 3 gone, on we go to this awful sexist culture more generally.
Fucking hell! Anyone see today's Leveson (Mon 27 Feb am)? From around 161 mins, Brian Paddick says that a 2005 report and recommendations on how the Met Police handles rape was watered down and buried.
Ian Blair had commissioned the report with the aim of making the Met the "best in the world" for handling rape. Dick Fedorcio, Met's head of public affairs, ordered the report to be given no publicity at all because "it could have been detrimental to the reputation of the police".
Cheers mate.

Project DescriptionA spacious closet is a great feature for any house. As an interior designer, Ami Austin knew her former closet's outdated style and inadequate wardrobe space needed to be refreshed. In order to prove the closet's full potential, she conceptualized a design that involved streamlining the lighting, updating the interior design, and adding functionality.
The closet's spaciousness was under-utilized and superseded by its archaic style and non-operational arrangement. The incomplete wardrobe hanging, drawer and storage options were quite limited. In order to transform it into a full-functioning closet, Austin had to recreate the space to be much more than a closet.
A new dressing table that offered beautiful and easy-access storage with soft-close drawers and cabinets were added to the space. Wall-to-wall hanging space was created, and corresponding cabinets for clothing and jewelry were included to maximize neat storage. Austin also designed a floor-to-ceiling shoe wall with shelving to both display and consolidate her shoes.
With the original 46 separate light fixtures and a massive electrical switching station, a great deal of work was required. Austin's plan was to streamline and modernize the lighting with tailored dressing lamps and chandeliers. Crystal chandeliers were added for ambiance as well as new dressing table lamps that added warmth, yet without competing with the chandeliers. The closet was completed with installed surround sound.
The space was fashioned into a stately yet relaxed style to modernize the closet's interior design. Selecting Calcutta gold porcelain tile floors and Calcutta gold marble slabs gave rise to a majestic but approachable panache. A statement-piece dressing bench was acquired through Austin's friend who specializes in unique finds.
Keeping the walls and fixtures tone-on-tone with neutral and creams allows for easy selections of clothing. With a dressing table that offers easy-access and plentiful storage; a dedicated dressing area; cabinets for clothing and jewelry; additional shelving and hanging space, Austin's renovated closet is now stylish, yet practical.

Actor John O'Hurley has played the part of the slick-talking Billy Flynn in the musical "Chicago" more than a thousand times, but even as well as he knows the lines and music he still steps on stage each night hoping to discover some fresh take on his character.
"I say one prayer every night before I go on stage," O'Hurley said recently before a book signing in Costa Mesa, to which he'll return at the end of this month for a short run of "Chicago." "And that is, 'God let me be surprised by something tonight.' And it never fails.
"What it does is it just locks me into the present moment and I don't know what I'm going to do next. And I know whatever I do I'm going to be spontaneous."
Different people know the 59-year-old entertainer for different parts of his career. Some for his star turn on the first season of "Dancing With The Stars," others for his work as host of NBC's annual broadcasts of the National Dog Show, or as the author of three books now inspired by his love for dogs.
But it's acting where he's focused the biggest part of his attention, and while thousands have seen him in TV shows and movies and touring productions of "Chicago" and "Spamalot, " if there's one part he's most known for it's the recurring role of J. Peterman over four seasons of "Seinfeld."
We'll talk about that part in a bit, but we begin with "The Perfect Dog," a children's book inspired by his 7-year-old son William, which O'Hurley – and young Will – signed at the Barnes & Noble in Costa Mesa just before Christmas.
"I wrote that poem in response to what he said," O'Hurley said. "He asked me if there's a dog that's perfect and if Puppy" – Will's stuffed animal – "could be in the (National Dog) show."
The dog show sometimes gets criticized for shining the spotlight on purebred pooches so O'Hurley said he also used the poem to talk about how any dog, pedigreed or pound-rescued, can be perfect if it's the dog that's with you.
"And each line I wrote he'd lean over and say, 'Aw, that's perfect,'" O'Hurley says of the input Will had. "So it's been a lot of fun for him."
That fun extends to book signings, which the first-grader is still getting used to.
"He signed 30 books the other day up in Santa Rosa and he leaned over to me at one point and said, 'Daddy, this is exhausting!'" O'Hurley said. "Today he asked me, 'Daddy, do we get money for this book?' And I said, 'Yes, we do, but not a lot.' And he said, 'Do I get it tonight?'"
Sharp kid, that young William!
The touring production of "Chicago" in which O'Hurley will play 13 cities this year comes to Segerstrom Hall for eight performances Jan. 28-Feb. 2. It's a show – along with "Spamalot," in which O'Hurley plays King Arthur – which he's toured with since 2005 when he joined the long-running Broadway production.
"For 'Chicago,' I can bolt upright in bed at three in the morning and go into it," O'Hurley said. "I won't miss a beat. 'Spamalot,' I'll need three weeks of rehearsals. 'Spamalot' was written as skit humor. Chicago is written like a jazz piece. So it's like hearing the cadences, like learning the Pledge of Allegiance. I literally could go onto stage at any time."
And while the lines stay the same, the feeling of his character has deepened over time, he said.
"Most people think of Billy as silver tongued but slimy," O'Hurley said by way of giving one example of how he's learned more about the lawyer he plays. "But there's an important element of his paternal side, too. Each one of (the jailed women) while she's under his care is like his daughter.
"And if you don't have that, he's monochromatic. When Roxie says, 'Billy, I'm scared,' I feel it to my core."
You'd think all this – stage shows, book tours, TV hosting – would be plenty, but O'Hurley's also just finished two movies that should be coming out this year. One, "A Remarkable Life," is an ensemble drama, the other, "Christian Mingle," is a comedy in which O'Hurley rejoined two old friends, Corbin Bernson and Stephen Tobolowsky, with whom he'd appeared in a short-lived TV series in 1995.
The failure of that sitcom, "A Whole New Ballgame," led in a roundabout fashion to O'Hurley landing his most-recognized role as J. Peterman – the fictitious head of a real-world clothing company – on "Seinfeld." His series was canceled on a Thursday, and on Friday his manager got a call from "Seinfeld" creator Larry David's office asking if he'd be interested in a guest role.
"I said, 'Aw, I don't feel like guest starring on anybody's show, I'm still licking my wounds,'" O'Hurley said. "My manager said, 'Just go do it, have some fun, blow it out of your system."
As the blustery Peterman – the demanding boss for whom Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Elaine worked – O'Hurley was a favorite. Asked how often he's recognized for the part he laughed and said, "Every day, for the rest of my life."
In the world after "Seinfeld" ended he also eventually became one of the owners of the real J. Peterman Company, which meant he got to know and work with John Peterman, the company's founder.
"It was the greatest act of identity theft ever," O'Hurley said of the way in which he's taken over the public's perception of J. Peterman. "We'll be walking down Madison Avenue, he and I, after a board meeting. And cops will roll down the window and yell, 'Hey, Peterman!'
"And they're not talking about him."

Gingrich Rebukes Pelosi Over Ethics Remarks
By Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Henry Goldman - Dec 5, 2011 5:09 PM CT
Gingrich Rebukes Pelosi

Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich rebuked House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for suggesting she might unearth details of a 1990s ethics probe against him if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee.
Gingrich, who was reprimanded by the House in 1997 after an ethics investigation, said members of Congress should bring charges against Pelosi, herself a former speaker, if she follows through on her hint that she might air aspects of the probe "when the time's right."
"I want to thank Speaker Pelosi for what I regard as an early Christmas gift," said Gingrich, taking questions from reporters in New York after meeting today with real estate developer Donald Trump. "It tells you how capriciously political that committee was that she was on it. It tells you how tainted the outcome was that she was on it."
Pelosi, a California Democrat, told the website Talking Points Memo Dec. 2 that she relished the possibility that Gingrich, who is rising in the polls, might become the Republican nominee
"One of these days we'll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich," she said. "I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. A thousand pages of his stuff."
She declined to say more, adding, "When the time's right."
'Public Record'
Her spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, said today Pelosi "was clearly referring to the extensive amount of information that is in the public record, including the comprehensive committee report with which the public may not be fully aware."
Pelosi sat on the panel, equally divided between Democrats and Republicans, that concluded Gingrich used tax-exempt contributions for political purposes and then misled congressional investigators about it. The charges stemmed from a college course Gingrich taught from 1993 to 1995 that was linked to GOPAC, his political action committee, in violation of federal laws barring the use of tax-exempt funds for partisan purposes.
Gingrich, 68, said he had turned over 1 million pages of material for the investigation, and that most of the charges against him were "repudiated as false." He said that his "one mistake made was a letter written by a lawyer that I didn't read carefully."
'Condemn Her'
"I would hope the House would immediately condemn her if she uses any material that was gathered while she was on the Ethics Committee," he said of Pelosi.
Gingrich and Pelosi appeared together on a loveseat at the foot of the Capitol in a strange-bedfellows 2008 television advertisement calling for action to address climate change, an event Gingrich now calls "the dumbest single thing I've done."
He tried at the time to avoid being paired with Pelosi, telling former Vice President Al Gore, who personally invited him to participate, that appearing with her would be "simply too problematic" given the "current political environment."
Gingrich's comments today came after he met with Trump and announced that the host of NBC's reality television show "The Apprentice," who earlier this year considered a presidential run, had agreed to create 10 apprenticeships to help poor children earn money.
"We're looking to help the poorest children in America," Gingrich told reporters at Manhattan's Union League Club after a fundraiser. Apprenticeships in New York's poorest schools are a way to demonstrate the transformative power of holding a job that pays money, he said.
Janitorial Work
Last month, he suggested before an audience at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts that some poor students in failing schools could gain work experience as janitors.
"Most of these schools ought to get rid of the unionized janitors, have one master janitor, and pay local students to take care of the school," Gingrich said at Harvard. "The kids would actually do the work, they would have cash, they would have pride in the schools."
Gingrich, during a campaign stop in Iowa last week, reiterated his proposal, which critics have said could violate child labor laws. "Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works," he said in Iowa, defending his plan.
Summer Reading
Gingrich said today his experience in public housing developments began several years ago with a program that paid students $2 for each book they read over summer break.
"You'll find remarkably few people with work experience" in public housing projects, he said.
Gingrich holds a lead in polls of the Republican race in Iowa, where the first votes in the nomination process will be cast on Jan. 3. He has the support of 25 percent of likely caucus participants in the Iowa Poll released Dec. 3 by the Des Moines Register newspaper. U.S. Representative Ron Paul of Texas was next, with 18 percent, followed by former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at 16 percent.
Trump, 65, flirted with entering the Republican race and then announced in May he wouldn't. He has said he would consider running for the presidency next year as an independent if he is dissatisfied with the eventual Republican nominee.
Trump has met previously with some of the party's other candidates, including Romney, Texas Governor Rick Perry and U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota.
