We live in rural SW Missouri, so I am very dependent on the internet. I found PartSelect on a Google search and simply inputted the modle number and serial number for the refrigerator and there it was. I was able to order the right part the first time and repair the refrigerator myself! No serviceman needed here!
The website was easy to navigate. Loved the schematic drawings of the appliance, it made it easy to find the part you are looking for without the guesswork (part names are sometimes not intuitive). My parts arrived promptly, the price was competitive, everything fit beautifly as expected. Would recommend this merchant, will shop there again. THANKS !
First I replaced the Defrost Thermostat on the coil and this did not fix the problem. So I ordered this new ADC (Adaptive Defrost Control)board.It is not identical to the first ADC board and at least one feature the old ADC did was deleted from the function of the Fridge. Not sure why?Because the board were different a new wiring harness was provided.Step 1. Unplug the unit and remove the water filter.Step 2. Remove the covers off of the unit on the top of the fridge using the 1/4" nut driver and a 1/4" deep well socket with extension for the deeper inset fasteners. This exposes the wiring harness and the ADC board as well as the temperature controls.step 3. Remove the screws for the ADC on the cover and remove the wiring harness from it. No need to note the wire's positions as the new ADC uses a different connector.step 4. As you remove each connection of the wire harness from the unit replace that connection with then new harness connector to eliminate any confusion. Do each one. One by one until the old harness is completely loose and the new harness is completely installed.step 5. Install new ADC which in my case was now enclosed in an orange case. Unlike the one I removed that was and open pcb.Step 6. Replace covers using the 1/4" nut driver and 1/4" wrench. Step 7. Replace filter and plug in unit.Apparently there have been 4 versions of this ADC board through the years. My fridge was built in 2003 not long before I bought it.
First I disconnected the power cord, then removed the screws that held the bracket that holds the base for the water-filer in place. I then disconnected the water lines(intake and outflow). Next I removed the screws that held the water-filter's base in place. I then disconnected the release lock mechanism for the filter and finally removed the water-filter base. I did the reverse to install the new water-filter base. Previously I had tested the intake water line and noticed the water was flowing with enough pressure upto the water-filter's base but no water was exiting thru the outflow line, which leads to the Ice-Maker and Dispenser. I had tried changing the filter but that didn't solve the problem it was then I had realized that the Base was the problem. The actual problem was the spring-loaded valves for both the intake and outflow lines, which had a plastic prong that protrudes out of the base that is triggered by the filter when installed. The two prongs were worn-down so the filter wasn't activating the spring-loaded release valve to let the water thru. As for the light, I just unscrewed it.
Pushed the button on the filter in the fridge, the cartridge popped out and in with the new. That simple. Prior to replacement the water was leaking, although it was still producing water and ice through the door. When the filter was out, no leaks, but no water and ice! Just needed a new filter.
Just pushed the button along side the filter and it popped out in my hand. I unpacked the new filter module and inserted it. It was necessary to run water through the dispenser for a couple of minutes to purge the air and clear the lines. The modular filter assembly is more expenseve than some but the ease of replacement makes the cost a good value.
Just opened the filter storage and popped out the old one and put in the new one. Ran the system for three minutes according to directions and it worked fine.
Tried replacing water filter first. It stilled leaked, so I removed the covers to gain access to the water filter base. After cutting the two hoses to remove the old base, I simply slid the hoses into the new base, screwed it into place, replaced the covers, and then reinstalled the new water filter. No more leak!
Once I recieved the new filter, I enthusiastically opened the box, removed the filter from it's packaging and set it aside for quick access. I opened the refrigerator door, pushed the release button on the old filter and pulled it out. I then tossed the old filter in the trash.Once that was done, I removed the 2 rubber caps covering the inlet and outlets on the new filter. Then, with ace precision, I guided the new filter back into the slot until it clicked. I ran the water for 3 minutes as the instructions suggested, then, had a glass of water.Mission accomplished and it went off without a single hitch!Glenn Walker, Simi Valley, Ca
Remover 3 screws from bottom of panel,unplugged elrc. connector,removed 2 "small" screws from the pivot axel of the broken actuator.Cleaned everything. Reversed the process to reinstall.
Replaced an evaporator motor which had previouly been put in to replace original with an alternative which changed the original electrical connectors. Had to replace those replacements witn originals which extended the changeover. Now works like the original and very quiet because your motor fit in the original rubber bushings. The alternative motor was put in by the Frigidaire repair man and at considerable expense because the warrenty date had been exceeded by one month.
I just took the old filter off and replaced with the new one, after I run the water for about 15 minutes and tossed the old ice and cleaned the tray.
pushed release button removed filter, installed new filter
Ordered new water filter. It arrived, I opened it and took out the old one and put in the new one. I worked perfectlyas soon as I realized I had to remove the protective caps.

Lou Reed Spider Named, Arachnids 'Walk on the Wild Side' (VIDEO)
A new spider has been named after The Velvet Underground's Lou Reed, for its preference of dark quarters.
While usually a social species, not all spiders are all that friendly and the velvet spider is among those who prefer not to stick their head out of the ground much. Mostly living in Europe, velvet spiders are considered to be some of the most attractive spiders in the world.
Rarely encountered due to their habit of living below the surface and far apart from others of their kind, the velvet spider was so named due to a sort of sheen that covers its posterior. Because little is known about the mysterious spider, an international team was developed in order to share information and discoveries.
The European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy funds the group with the Integrated Research grant. The latest discovery by the group includes what appears to be a genus of Velvet spiders, which was confirmed through DNA testing. The genus was named "Loureedia" after the lead songwriter and guitarist Lou Reed from the Velvet Underground, a fitting name for a spider that likes to burrow itself well below the soil.
The researchers will publish their findings in "ZooKey," an open access journal which can be viewed without a fee. The group hopes that by providing easier access, more will come to know the Lou Reed that lurks around with eight legs, opposed to two.
Some users on the Daily News blog made fun of the spider's new star status.
"Just as cuddly and adorable as the man himself. I can't wait for the Madonna praying mantis or the Lady Gaga vampire bat," ElGatoNYC wrote.
"Perhaps his 'Take a Walk on the Wild Side' was prophetic. All the Arachnid girls go 'chomp, chomp, chomp chompada, da chomp chomp, chompada chomp,'" KCD joked.

Filing your taxes can be quite the hassle. Unless you want the Internal Revenue Service after you, though, you should make sure they're filed by April 15. A newly released smart phone app from the I.R.S. won't help you file your taxes, but it will let you keep track of your tax refund status – the best part of the process.
The IRS2Go app gives out daily tax tips to smart phone users who download it; moreover, it lets users see the status of their tax refund. The app is free and offered on both iPhones and phones that run Google's Android software.
I.R.S. Commissioner Doug Shulman said that the app "reflects our commitment to modernizing the agency and engaging taxpayers where they want when they want it." Shulman also declared that the app will help the I.R.S. to "keep innovating to make it easy for all taxpayers to access helpful information."
The app is simple to use: To access your tax refund status, you first have to wait 72 hours after you receive an email from the I.R.S. that confirms they received your tax return. You must then enter your social security number – which is encrypted for security purposes – and select the filing status you used and the amount you expect to receive in your refund.
Though it only dispenses tax tips and status updates currently, the app could get upgrades in the future, according to Shulman. The I.R.S. is always looking "for additional ways to expand and refine our use of smart phones and other new technologies to help meet the needs of the taxpayers," he affirmed.

Petty's Back: Rocker emerges from funk with a hard-rocking, first-person album
By Jim Farber
Calhoun Times — Tuesday, May 11, 1999
Tom Petty ambles into a room like a cowboy who just spent too much time on his horse.
He moves slowly, measuring each gesture, mirroring those movements in spare and deliberate speech.
Petty's hair isn't combed, his shirttail is untucked and his jeans fit loosely. It's just the rumpled image you'd expect from Petty, one of rock's most low-keyed and steady hit makers.
In both his demeanor and music, you'll find his intensity lurking below the surface. Glimpses of it arise as soon as Petty begins discussing the dramatic changes in his life and work that paved the way for his new album — Echo.
The LP arrives amid considerable fanfare. In May, Petty will be featured as VH1's "Artist of the Month"; on May 16, he appears on the network's "Storytellers" series, and in June, he begins his first tour with the Heartbreakers in four years.
Yet all this activity surrounds Petty's most personal, revealing and saddest music to date.
"I went through a bad time a few years back," says the 46-year-old star, sipping a Coke in his New York hotel room. "I got divorced. It was a really hard thing. I had to put my life back together."
He'd been married to Jane Petty for over two decades, a woman he physically resembles. They have two daughters, age 17 and 24. Yet, Petty didn't want to turn this into "the divorce album."
"I waited a year before I started writing," he says. "I was still working a lot of the disappointment out. But I didn't want to concentrate on that. I wanted to write about getting on with my life."
Which helps explain the album's mix of melancholy and defiance. For all its pain, the LP rocks harder than any Petty platter since 1991's "Into the Great Wide Open."
"The defiance is the part of me that's trying to keep from sinking into oblivion," he says.
Petty risked sinking further by leaving his work schedule open right after the marital split. He spent an unusual amount of time at his home in Malibu.
"I took a year off for the first time since my 20s," he explains. "I was worn out. I had done so much in the five years before. I'd put out so many records and toured 10 months behind 'Wildflowers' (Petty's last formal record in 1994). Also, I thought it wouldn't hurt us to vanish for a while. (But) it was a challenge — how to fill my days? I reflected on how orderly my life had been. You know every day where you're going to be at 4 o' clock. Suddenly that's gone."
During this time, Petty says, "I started writing the album without even realizing I'd written much. I'd sit and write and put stuff on tape but I'd always think, 'That's not really a song.'"
His band disagreed. When he took his writing to the Heartbreakers, "they cut the songs so fast," discouraging Petty from any second thoughts.
"If I thought too much about what I was writing I would just think, 'Oooo, I'm not going near that.' It's more revealing this way."
Especially since Petty wrote nearly every song in the first person, avoiding his common technique of acting as ironic narrator for other people's lives. To stress the album's deeply personal nature, Petty titled a song "This One's for Me."
"That's pretty direct, isn't it?" he asked with a laugh. "It's a little embarrassing though. Oh dear."
The result brought out a new heaviness in Petty's voice, especially in the opening track, "Room at the Top." The artist says he was trying to ape the plaintive singing style of his friend Carl Wilson (of the Beach Boys), who had just died.
"It was my hopeless attempt to sound like Carl," Petty explains. "I'm just pleased that more voices keep showing up because if you've got to sing a whole album it's good to have different sounds on it."
Some things remain constant, however. Throughout his career Petty has dealt with the connection between freedom and emptiness, in songs like "Free Falling" and "Into the Great Wide Open."
As well as the new "Free Girl Now." He wrote the song for his current girlfriend, whom he met just after the divorce. It addresses sexual harassment.
"She had a boss who couldn't keep his hands off her. I had heard about this sort of thing but had never experienced it first-hand.
"At first I found it amusing. But as it went on I could see that it wasn't amusing at all. She didn't have the power to fight. I finally said to her, 'You should quit.' One day, she did."
Petty has long favored women's stories in his songs, going back to 1976's "American Girl."
"Female characters are fascinating to me because as much as they talk they don't necessarily say everything that's on their minds," he explains. "You don't see all the cards, whereas men often throw all theirs down. (Also) my dad wasn't around a lot when I was growing up. I was raised by my grandmother and I had a lot of women around me. So I've always been sympathetic to them. I never saw it in a macho sense. Now I'm proud, when I look back over the last 20 years, that I never did take that stance."
That's not the only thing he has to be proud about in his career. Petty and the Heartbreakers stormed out of Gainesville, Fla., in 1976 with a sound that instantly stood out, derived from the cream of '60s classic rock. With their jangly guitars, nasal vocals and folk-rock melodies, they melded Dylan, the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield into a classic American sound. It wasn't an original or pioneering approach, but it synthesized what went before with heart and craft.
It's hard to imagine now, but at first, Petty's label tried to lump him in with the emerging new wave and punk scene.
"We were happy being on that side of the fence rather than the other," he laughs. "We were actually friendly with a lot of those punk groups but we didn't look like them at all. I remember thinking it's better we don't. It would be false. Let's just be who we are."
They became major stars by their third album 1979's "Damn the Torpedoes." Over the years, the band continued having hits to the point where Petty now rates as one of the few mature stars who can claim more celebrated songs from the second decade of his career than from the first.
"Some (concerts) we don't have to go back farther than 1988 or '89," he boasts.
Using pop-oriented producers like Jeff Lynne helped. So did Petty's clever use of video. While many stars of his generation were wary of the emerging medium, Petty embraced it, finding a way to carve out a visual persona for himself despite his lack of cover-boy looks. In 1994, MTV gave him its Video Vanguard Award.
"Some of my peers were very intimidated by (video). I thought, let's just dive in. We had the first narrative video (for 'You Got Lucky') in the early '80s. We were just tired of doing those damn lip-synchs."
Not every Petty move connected over the years. His last album, the soundtrack to "She's the One," sold only 490,000 copies, the sole commercial disappointment in his career.
"It was marketed as a soundtrack and put in (those kinds of) bins," he says. "And I didn't promote it. I think it's a good record, but I don't look at it as one of our normal albums."
It wasn't even supposed to be a full album, When director Ed Burns asked him to do a song for his new flick, Petty came back with three. Then he balked at the idea of mixing in his numbers with a loosely connected run of other performers' material.
"I can't stand those (multi-artist) soundtrack albums," he says.
Petty is just as resolute about maintaining his band's essential sound. Over all his releases, he has emerged as rock's Mr. Reliable, never indulging in anything remotely trendy.
He does, however, worry about the future of rock itself.
"It's not as good as it used to be," he complains, before getting up to leave. "I don't know if it's going to endure in the position it has been in. And maybe it shouldn't. Maybe we'll become purists in our old age. But I have a damn good rock 'n' roll band now. And I want people to hear it."

First Team News
Pellegrini hails Dzeko show
New City boss Manuel Pellegrini revealed that he enjoyed his first taste of life in English football but believes his team can get even better.
A devastating performance from the Chilean's side blew Newcastle United away in the opening game of the 2013/14 season but the 59-year old thinks that it's just the beginning.
Although Pellegrini refused to get carried away with the 4-0 win, Edin Dzeko's man of the match-winning performance was one aspect that did leave him purring.
"I trust Edin Dzeko," Manuel declared, "it was a pity he didn't score because he had a lot of chances and he played very well.
"We knew with the ball that he's a very good player but I think he played very well without the ball tonight. He had some important chances and he deserved to score today.
"I spoke to him when I first arrived and I told him that he will do very well for us.
"I am sure we are now going to see the Edin Dzeko that City bought from Wolfsburg two years ago."
On so many occasions last season City were made to pay for missed chances in front of goal but the new-look Blues showed a ruthless streak in this opening day victory that fired them to the top of the table.
In the post-match press conference, Pellegrini called on his side to continue this trend at Cardiff City next Sunday.
"The most pleasing aspect was the way the team played for 90 minutes, from the beginning the attitude was aggressive and we continued to play that way for the whole match," Pellegrini said.
"It's a very good start but I was very confident that the team would play well, we worked very hard during pre-season, we were trying another style of football and maybe we must continue to improve but for the first match, it was good.
"The first game is always special. This was very special for me and it was very important to win.
...Manuel Pellegrini...
"We are also very happy with both of the new players. Navas and Fernandinho played very well – Navas is always running and trying to make important passes inside the area.
"Fernandinho does a lot of work without the ball and he did well - I'm sure when Jovetic and Negredo come in and play 90 minutes they will do very well too.
"I'm very happy with the squad we have this season; we will need all of them."
On a day of many positives, there was one troubling moment in the 90 minutes when Vincent Kompany limped out of the game on 70 minutes.
Pellegrini admitted that it was "impossible to say at this point" whether it was a serious injury or whether the captain will be back in action in days rather than weeks.
"We will see what happens with Vincent tomorrow – the doctors will look and then we will find out how many days he may miss," he stated.
"I can't tell you exactly what happened. It may be a serious injury, it may be nothing – I don't know."
Pellegrini's counterpart Alan Pardew revealed that Steven Taylor had apologised to the team after his sending off for an elbow on Sergio Aguero.
The Newcastle boss was disappointed with the defender but had no complaints about the scoreline against a team with "fantastic talent".
"I thought for Steven it was completely out of character and I can't say any more than that," Pardew said. "He's an honest player and he made a mistake and he must pay the penalty.
"Against a very good side, up to that point, I thought we gave a very good account of ourselves. We tried to be positive but after the sending off we were just digging in, really.
"You look at that bench and you've got Nasri and Negredo coming on – in terms of finances and quality, they make it very difficult for teams to come here. We won't be the only team to struggle here this season."

This could be fun.
As of Tuesday morning, eight National League teams are separated by 6 1/2 games, and fighting for two playoff spots.
Dodgers 62-50 .554 -- Giants 61-50 .550 .5 Cardinals* 59-49 .546 1.0 Reds 58-52 .527 3.0 Astros 57-53 .518 4.0 Marlins 55-56 .495 6.5 Mets 55-56 .495 6.5 Expos 55-56 .495 6.5
The Cardinals currently lead the NL Central (despite a five-game losing streak). One NL Central team in this mess is
guaranteed a playoff spot via the division title. The other seven will scramble for the wild card, unless the
Diamondbacks come back to the pack in the NL West.
Are these standings reflective of team performance to date?
On his ESPN.com Web page, Rob Neyer calculates the
current Pythagorean standings, which are based on runs scored and allowed. If we re-order the teams that way, how do
they rate?
Giants 67-44 Cardinals* 58-50 Astros 59-51 Dodgers 59-53 Reds 56-54 Mets 56-55 Marlins 53-58 Expos 52-59
The Giants should be running away with the NL wild-card slot, with one of the best Pythagorean records in the game.
They're not. The first place you would normally look is their record in one-run games, but they're actually 18-16 in
those contests. A bad bullpen can sometimes be a culprit, but the Giants' pen ranks third in the National League in
Adjusted Runs Prevented.
I had to know more, so I took a deeper look. Here are the Giants' records by margin:
Margin Record 1 18-16 2 8-11 3 7-6 4 6-9 5 6-4 6 2-2 7 5-1 8 4-0 9 2-0 10+ 3-1
The Giants have lost just one game by more than seven runs all season. They've lost just four games by more than five
runs all season. That's in part a park effect–Pac Bell depresses run scoring, making blowouts harder to come by–but
it is also a tribute to the Giants' offense and the work they've gotten from their bullpen. Their Pythagorean record
isn't separated from their actual record because they've gotten unlucky in close games, but because when they've
played blowouts, they've almost always been on the good side. 14-2 in games decided by more than six runs creates an
excellent run differential while only counting for 14-2 in the standings.
Is this unusual? I think so; even the best teams in baseball get hammered every now and then. The Yankees and Red Sox
both got racked by the Texas Rangers last week. The Yankees are 14-6 in games decided by seven or more runs, the Sox
14-3. The Diamondbacks are 10-4 in seven-plus-run games. Of the best teams in the game, only the Braves, 9-2 in such
games, have as few losses in this category as the Giants do.
The Astros are the other team that looks better by Pythagorean record than they do by actual, moving from third in
the NL Central to first. They were repeating their 2000 campaign earlier this year, losing one-run game after one-run
game. On June 9, the Astros came back from a 6-1 deficit to tie the game in the top of the eighth, only to watch
Octavio Dotel give up a run in bottom of the inning for the loss. At that point, they were 26-35 overall, with
a 3-12 record in one-run games.
Since then, the Astros are 31-18, with a 10-3 record in one-run games. Dotel, who was arguably the team's MVP last
year, has been a huge part of that, allowing three runs in 31 innings since losing that game. The Astros have put
together the turnaround they weren't able to make in 2000, when they finished 15-31 in one-run games on their way
to a 72-90 season.
What does all this mean for the two playoff spots? The eight teams that can lay claim to spots in this race divide
neatly into halves, the contenders (Giants, Astros, Cardinals, Dodgers) and the pretenders (Reds, Mets, Expos,
Marlins). The two teams that helped themselves the most by the trade deadline were the Giants and Cardinals, while
the Expos and Marlins went the other way, shedding talent in July despite being part of the playoff picture. The Mets, Reds
and Dodgers all made minor moves that won't impact their hopes of playing into October, and the Astros watched the
meat market from the sidelines and made their improvements–like adding Kirk Saarloos–from within.
While it's nominally an eight-team race, and I would love to see some 1967 American League-type scramble to the
finish line, the fact is, three of these teams are clearly better than the others. The big question is whether the
Cardinals can sort through their rotation problems in time to hold off the Astros, and if they can't, whether they
can edge past the Giants to grasp the wild card.
I'm predicting that they will win the Central, even carrying some significant dead weight in the lineup.
The Scott Rolen trade
and Edgar Renteria's apparent willingness to finally make the true believers on our staff look
good will be the difference-makers down the stretch.
I also like the Astros to hold on for the wild card, as Jeff Bagwell pushes an 1100 OPS in the last two months
and Richard Hidalgo justifies his contract. If they make October, the Astros could be the only playoff team to
start pitchers they drafted and developed in the first three games of the Division Series. (Saarloos, Roy
Oswalt and Wade Miller).
As for the Giants… I would love to see Barry Bonds get a chance to go crazy in October. Unfortunately, the
rotation outside of Jason Schmidt is a bit scary, with no one sporting a respectable strikeout rate, and the
chances of a late-summer collapse are unacceptably high. That 14-2 record in blowouts is nice, but Kirk Rueter
and company have some poundings coming, and that will be what allows two NL Central teams into the playoffs again this year.

This is an athletic individual who so far has been able to make a decisive move and put the races away before the stretch (and then lose lengths in the stretch. Mile and a half he will have to make move latter (will it be as impactful) and then maintain in stretch. I think Wicked and/or Medal or Ride will be run him down. If he once again makes me eat my words as he has done 3 straigth times I wont be heartbroken; but will be impressed.
Left out General A Rod in my prior comment; would put him below Ride and Wicked but above Tapiture and Danza
2 levels---Ride on Curlin and Wicked Strong top level; Tapiture, Danza second level; Will not include California Chrome in any bet; May be talented but think it is at a shorter distance
Was in Hot Springs to see Danza do his thing. Obviously, did not have a dime on him. Never even thought Pletcher , ran in 2 year old stakes, why is he in here ? Obvious ???s unasked. NOW KD. Still not impressed. Distance Pedigree is a maybe; Foundation is weak; NOt convinced; Ride on Curlin remains horse of interst from AD
CC is a talented horse; but I think that last 1/8 of a mile will do him in; as for the rest of the Cali contingent I don't see any that will be there at the end with the possible exception of Hopporutnity. Wicked S. and Ride on Curlin seem to ones who have the talent and distance capabilty to do this.
I can not recall a Derby Trial as intriguing as this one with three legitimate horse (have not looked at the others so it may be more). Whoever wins will conceivably be a player at the Preakness.
The California horses this year have not been strong in stamina. Hopportunity, Candy Boy, Chitu, Midnight hawk, and CC have all been suspect at 1 1/4. Most have been marginal at 1 1/8. Pedigree wise the most suspect has been CC. The talent is there with CC. But winning against stamina suspect types make me doubt he can deliever versus Wicked Strong, General A. Rod, Ride On curlin etc who are bred to handle the distance and also have shown some ability. Maybe he does a ala Smarty and stretches to 1 1/4 but count me as doubtful/
I may be alone on this but I hope Arlington, Turfway, Woodbine, Presque, and Golden Gate remain synthentic. Surface changes are great betting opportunities.
I may be alone on this but I hope Arlington,
Have only reviewed last couple of years of the derby; what strikes me is that the fields included numeous horses that 1 1/4 was not going to be a problem. This year there is alot of horses who ar accomplished but distance challenged. Betting opportutinites may present themselves.

Honestly, I'd be less likely to be outraged if she talked about judging the kids' parents, and not the CHILDREN THEMSELVES.
I also can't stomach how there are the good names, and then "children like those" in her world... and yet, India doesn't count as a place name :/ and what the heck is wrong with Simon? I've always considered Simon to be kind of an upper-crust British name (more common in England than Canada, but that's just the vibe I've gotten).
This woman just dug herself in to a deeper and deeper hole. I admit, I kind of enjoyed watcher her make a fool of herself. My blood boiled, but I mostly had second-hand embarrassment.

Los Angeles, June 13 (IANS) Singer Britney Spears says she'd love to be the nanny for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's six children because it seems as though it would be a really "fun" job.
The pop superstar thinks it would be a really fun job looking after the married couple's six kids – Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne — and she'd also love to meet her celebrity crush Pitt again, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
While on TV show "Good Morning Britain", she said: "I've met Brad Pitt once but I'd like to meet them again, and I'd like to become their nanny. That sounds fun to me."
The "Womanizer" hitmaker, who has two sons, Sean Preston, nine, and Jayden James, eight, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, believes she'd make a great teacher.
She said: "I'd probably be a teacher or anything relating to the kids or teaching at a dance studio with a bunch of kids."

Turning research into business
Aim is to make the UK a global leader (University of Glasgow photo)
Eight UK universities have been awarded "centres of enterprise" at a cost of almost Ł25m, to help them exploit scientific research in the private sector.
The announcement was made by Science Minister Stephen Byers at the British Association Festival of Science at Sheffield University.
The enterprise centres are being set up at the universities with other institutions as partners:
Where the money is going
University of Bristol: Ł2.6m
Mr Byers said the centres would help to give the United Kingdom a global lead.
"The UK is good at science and engineering, and we have a long tradition of innovative thinking," Mr Byers said.
'Much to learn'
"However if we really are to turn science into prosperity we need businesses to learn how to exploit this potential, and scientists to learn how to turn their ideas into commercial reality.
"These centres will help by acting as a regional focus for greater co-operation between business and the scientific community - both have much to learn from each other."
A further Ł4.8m from the Department of Trade and Industry and Ł4m from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council will be used to set up four new Faraday partnerships, another scheme aimed at forging closer links between the science and business communities.
The Education Secretary, David Blunkett, said the new enterprise centres would have an important role in breaking down the divide between research and its application.
"We need to make better use of the expertise which is in our universities, and for this they need both enterprise skills and a better understanding of how business works," he said.
'Rival to Silicon Valley'
Cambridge University is to have one of the new enterprise centres. It says this will operate as part of the Judge Institute of Management Studies, the business school at the University, in partnership with the science and technology faculties.
"The eastern region around Cambridge in particular is recognised as one of the most active regions for technology-based entrepreneurship in the European Union," it said in a statement.
"To maintain this position the Cambridge Entrepreneurship Centre will develop people who will create and manage the next generation of start-up companies in an area already seen as rivalling Route 128 and Silicon Valley in the USA for entrepreneurial activity."
Future generations
The Judge Institute, founded in 1990, has over 200 students and an international faculty of over 50 teaching and research staff. Its Director, Professor Sandra Dawson, said this new addition presented "the most exciting opportunity".
"We're seeing here the fruits of our own entrepreneurship," she said.
"The Judge Institute, with the Engineering and Science Faculties and with enormous support from the local hi-tech business community and the Cambridge Programme for Industry, has already started teaching, training and advising people so that we can build future generations of entrepreneurs and business leaders.
"Every day we get more inquiries from people who want to come on our programmes. With this very welcome injection of government investment we can quickly scale up our operations to meet this demand and to develop exciting outreach activities which will contribute to regional and national economic growth and productivity."

Most, if not all, of the man/info/how-to and other documentation is available from the web. If you have DSL or a cable modem you can punt the *-doc packages. That's how I configured my my old 8500 until I finally broke down and bought an ide adapter.
If your machine isn't a portable you should consider adding some disk space. It's relatively cheap and you can always move the disk to the new machine should you decide to upgrade.

If anything was proven Saturday night at Comfort Dental Amphitheatre, it's that classic rock fans come for the music and could care less who may be delivering it. Just as long as it takes them back to that time in their lives when the music meant the most to them.
Journey is one such band that can do that to people. The fans age, the musicians age, but the music is timeless.
The current lineup of Journey only includes three original members in keyboardist Jonathan Cain, bassist Ross Valory and lead guitarist Neal Schon. The voice that gave the group its rise to popularity, Steve Perry, has been replaced in the talent of 44-year-old Filipino singer-songwriter Arnel Pineda.
Pineda's voice matches that of Perry's and no jeers came from the sold out crowd, which was just happy to get a chance to hear the songs they love so much, live and in concert.
Pineda played to the Colorado crowd by appearing in a Tim Tebow jersey and the audience received a bonus semi-celebrity sighting when famed White House party crasher Michaele Salehi appeared on stage with her new beau in Neal Schon as he concluded the guitar solo on "Faithfully."
Journey delivered on all its hits, concluding the encore and the show with "Don't Stop Believing," still the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history.
Set List:
Separate Ways
Ask the Lonely
Send Her My Love
City of Hope
Stone In Love

ESC Blog: UML for DSP
0 comments post a comment
Usually not for the DSP crowd, UML may be a good fit for designers of telecom networks, which carry voice, data, and video traffic.
BOSTON, MA -- I had a quick chat with Telelogic, a company that makes UML modeling software. The company recently released a modeling package for telecom infrastructure. UML modeling is a foreign concept for most DSP engineers; as is for good reason. It is mainly used to model large, complex systems with many interacting components--not a description you could apply to the typical DSP application. However, this description is a good fit for telecom networks, which carry voice, data, and video traffic, and have to deal with a mind-numbing number of protocols and standards. Making sure all these pieces work together is a major challenge.

Target: Darren Oliver, LHP
Type of move: Trade
2012 stats: 3-4, 2.06 ERA, 56 2/3 innings, 52 strikeouts, 15 walks
Oliver could be back in Texas for his fourth stint with the Rangers if things go his way. You see, the 42-year-old lefty who has remarkably seen his ERA drop in each of the past five seasons is reportedly a little miffed with his current club, the Toronto Blue Jays. According to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi, Oliver wants the Blue Jays to either restructure his deal for 2013, which is currently worth $3 million or trade him to Texas, a place he clearly loves. If not, he says he might retire.
With all the money the Blue Jays forked over this offseason, it's hard to imagine they would pay him much more than what his current deal and might force him to play his hand. If that could mean a trade to Texas to get rid of a disgruntled player, that'd be a beautiful thing for the Rangers who would get a quality lefty arm for the bullpen.

John Pohl admits he hardly could walk on Friday, let alone skate.
And while his pesky back spasms have improved since then, the Maple Leafs forward isn't out of the woods yet.
Having missed the past two games, Pohl's leisurely skate at the Air Canada Centre yesterday lasted just three minutes before tightness in his back forced him to call it a day.
He'll test the back again at the morning skate today before a decision is made regarding his availability for the Leafs' game against the visiting New York Islanders tonight.
"I'm planning on playing but we'll have to see how it goes," Pohl said. "It's still a little tight and I don't want to be stupid.
"(Sitting out) sucks, especially when there is nothing you can do."
With forwards Michael Peca, Darcy Tucker, Kyle Wellwood and Kris Newbury also nursing injuries, coach Paul Maurice last week inserted Chad Kilger into Pohl's spot at centre between Boyd Devereaux and Bates Battaglia.
For Kilger and Devereaux, it has been a reunion of sorts. Seven years ago, Kilger and Devereaux sat beside each other in the Edmonton Oilers dressing room and often played on the same line.
Obviously everything old is new again.
Kilger and Devereaux are both first-round draft picks who never have blossomed into the stars many had predicted. In fact, both have been forced to battle just to stay at the NHL level, assuming many roles on different teams along the way in order to keep their respective hockey dreams alive.
"We can both play centre and we can both play the wing," Kilger said, noting the similarities between the two players. "Obviously we've both matured and have grown a lot. And we both understand that we can contribute in many different ways."
According to Devereaux, the composition of Kilger's game has not changed much.
"He's still flying around hitting whatever he can," Devereaux said with a chuckle.

With its final report deadline with the U.S. Global Position System Industry Council (USGIC) fast approaching, and rumored talks with both Sprint and AT&T ongoing, LightSquared's (Reston, Va.) plans of a 4G-LTE nationwide wireless broadband service could sink or swim in the upcoming months.
With its final report deadline with the U.S. Global Position System Industry Council (USGIC) fast approaching, and rumored talks with both Sprint and AT&T ongoing, LightSquared's (Reston, Va.) plans of a 4G-LTE nationwide wireless broadband service could sink or swim in the upcoming months.
LightSquared, a wholesale-only integrated 4G-LTE wireless broadband and satellite network, is looking to build a nationwide wireless broadband service that covers 92% of the country by 2015. Yet, to build this network LightSquared has to come to an agreement with the USGIC over interference its signals may cause with those from the Global Position System (GPS).
As of now, LightSquared is planning to broadcast its 4G terrestrial network in the L-Band frequencies of 1525 Mhz-1559Mhz, while GPS broadcasts in the adjacent L-Band frequencies of 1559 Mhz-1610Mhz. According to Michael Swiek, executive director of USGIC, the GPS industry worries that LightSquared's high power terrestrial frequencies will overwhelm the low power frequencies put out by the GPS satellites.
"It is very difficult to have a high powered signal next to a low power signal in the same spectrum," said Swiek "It's just the laws of physics."
LightSquared and the USGIC have been working together over the past several months testing the potential for interference. A formal report is due to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on June 15.
"We want the facts and science to speak for themselves," said Swiek.
According to Frank Boulben, chief marketing officer at LightSquared, less than 20% of LightSquared's spectrum may cause interference. He could not divulge further information until the final report was presented to the FCC.
But Boulben goes on to say that back in 2003 there was a full agreement made between LightSquared (previously MSV and then SkyTerra) and the USGIC that included both sides implementing filters so that no interference was present. According to Boulben, LightSquared implemented those filters, while not all GPS manufactures have done so, even eight years after the agreement was made.
According to GPS industry technical sources this statement may not be entirely accurate, because the agreement was meant to be a limited gap filler measure.
Originally, LightSquared was only licensed for satellite broadcast, but the FCC granted a waiver back in January allowing LightSquared to offer dual-mode or terrestrial-only devices. Since then the USGIC and LightSquared have been working together to test for interference.
According to Chairman of the FCC, Julius Genachowski, in his letter to Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), "the Commission will not permit LightSquared to begin commercial service without first resolving the Commission's concerns."
While these concerns of the FCC and other organizations have kept LightSquared from running its network, it hasn't kept them from talking with large service providers
In the last couple of weeks there have been alleged talks between LightSquared and Sprint, as well as LightSquared and AT&T. These talks do not involve LightSquared leasing AT&T and Sprint its network, but the other way around.
According to a recent Reuters article, Sprint would allow LightSquared to rent space on its network for $2 billion a year. The deal, which has not yet been made public, means that LightSquared would be renting additional capacity to a network that is not allowed to be commercially used yet. A LightSquared spokesperson refused to comment on the matter.
Despite all the setbacks, LigthSquared has already signed contracts with companies such as Best Buy, Cellular South, Leap and SI Wireless. According to Boulben over 15 more contracts are under negotiation.
Once the final report is received the FCC and National Telecommunication & Information Administration (NTIA) will review it and hold a public comment period before making a decision.

Tops workers approve three-year contract
Unionized workers at Tops Markets approved a new three-year contract, the United Food and Commercial Workers Local One said Friday.
The agreement covers 13,000 employees represented by the UFCW in upstate New York and Northern Pennsylvania. The vote tally was 771 in favor and 148 against. Workers cast ballots on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Full-time workers will receive an hourly wage increase of $1.20 over the three years. Part-time workers' wages will go up 90 cents over that span. About 70 percent of the workers covered by the contract are part-time, said Greg Gorea, a UFCW representative.
The company also agreed to increase funding of the members' pension fund obligations, and members will receive union health care benefits "at very reasonable co-payments," UFCW Local One said.
Tops president and chief executive officer Frank Curci said the company was "pleased to provide good wages and benefits for our associates" represented by UFCW Local One. "This is the first labor agreement under Tops' new, local ownership group and we continue to have a strong, productive relationship with our union partner."

I ended the last post with the following question:
To Believers and Atheists alike: Could you/would you believe in God if there was no formalized doctrine attached to it?
Well – would ya?
I should probably rephrase the question because it is loaded with loaded words.
Try this: Could you allow for the existence of universal intelligence in the absence of an organized belief system?
Well – would ya?
I ask because there is a paradox at the intersection of the debate between atheists and theists. They both point to religion as the linchpin of their position.
The atheist uses religion to make the case that the entity we've been trained to call God does not exist. They call the narrative (Bible for example) a fairy tale and point out the doctrine (church teaching) has inconsistencies, contradictions and errors. Atheists from Maher to Hawking to Dawkins rail against organized religion much more than they posit a hard-core denial that such an entity exists. Further, the attacks on religion are almost exclusively aimed at fundamentalists, namely creationists – a cynically easy target. If the so called "fairy tales" were not attached, would the idea of universal intelligence (God) be more palatable? I wonder!
Believers on the other hand, use religion as grounds to argue the entity we've been trained to call God does exist. "It must be true", they insist, "because it says so in The Bible". This reasoning of course starts with a presupposition that the text is inerrant and absolute. Often, facts are ignored or refuted if they contradict a position of faith, which leads to defending ideas such as the world being created in six days or that God made the first man from dust. The monologue of pop culture clergy from the likes of Graham and Osteen rely heavily on literature of the Bible as a basis to their worldview and teaching about reality. Without the extraordinary assumption that the text of religion is absolute and true, would the concept of God (universal intelligence) still be independently arrived at? Does the believer need doctrine in order to believe? I wonder!
One problem with the debate is that dogmatism dominates the arguments on both sides.
Dog•ma•tism: the tendency to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true, without consideration of evidence or opinions of others.
The dogma of the atheist is in demanding visible, physical, irrefutable proof. It maintains that because God can't be proven, universal intelligence is non-existent. It is as fundamental a position as one could take. But nothing in the universe can be proven before it becomes known by us to exist. Did electricity exist before it was discovered? Was the earth ever really flat? Science does a remarkable job advancing human knowledge as it continuously uncovers "mysteries" about our condition and our origin. Science itself is not dogmatic because it never rests on its findings, it is never satisfied that what we know now is the last word. Often science refutes findings of a previous generation because it continues to question everything, even ideas thought to be irrefutable. The human capacity to comprehend reality continues to evolve and science keeps expanding its ability to articulate it. Science keeps pace with humanity. Science has become a good friend to the rationale human mind and it has earned that position.
The dogma of many theists is insisting that what was written thousands of years ago makes up the totality of understanding mankind will ever need and that advancement is not welcome. Typically, an ancient mystic articulated God's essence and his followers tacked the ideas to paper. Powerful institutions have been erected with a main goal of protecting the doctrine of a specific theology. Religion resists expansion of the understanding laid down in antiquity even though the species asking the questions has evolved exponentially in its capacity to comprehend. The ancient prophets and mystics responsible for most of the religion being practiced today articulated their ideas contemporaneously. That is, they spoke in the language and style of their place and time.
Would the language of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad or The Buddha be different today than it was when they deposited their wisdom into human consciousness?
Because science keeps expanding our knowledge of reality and religion persistently turns us back to antiquity, the gap between the two increases. This expanding gap tends to make religion look – well, immature (not fully developed) when it comes to advancing thought. Answering questions about reality is the objective of science and religion. Some in the world of science refuse to allow for anything not quantifiable in the physical realm and many in the world of religion overlook physical realities in favor of ancient metaphysical articulations.
Theists label atheists as evil and immoral while atheists accuse the theist of being irrational and superstitious. And so the hard line positions with the inherent mistrust for one another remains.
Could it be that the two parts – physical and metaphysical – combine to make up the fullness of reality? Does reality encompass the natural and the supernatural? Is it possible that the declared conflict between science and religion will dissolve someday and embarrass mankind for fueling the longstanding fight between them? Is it possible that the two will someday combine to advance our comprehension of the universe and offer future generations a sort of "theology of reality"? Or will the gap between science and religion endure and widen as science continues to advance human understanding?
What can we do as individuals to bridge the gap we might feel in our own perception of reality?
We can start by dropping the dogma to ask intellectually honest questions and trust where our inborn sense of reason takes us.

OCEANSIDE -- Many Oceanside Unified School District parents will have opportunities this month to choose the school that their child will attend during the 2007-08 school year.
For some parents, the choice will mean selecting a new school because the one their child currently attends didn't meet federal academic requirements last year.
For other parents, the selection will be to keep their child in the school he or she currently attends and not one the child has been assigned to next year under the district's attendance boundary changes.
A third group of parents who don't fall in the other two categories will only be able to get their child into another school of their choice if there's room, according to district spokeswoman Laura Chalkley.
Whatever parents decide, the deadline for a decision will expire on different days this month.
Last month, trustees approved boundary changes that have designated different schools for thousands of students.
The boundary changes are intended to reduce overcrowding, develop more neighborhood-based schools and create boundaries for two schools -- Louise Foussat Elementary School and Cesar Chavez Middle School -- that will open for the first time in the fall.
Parents who want their children to continue attending the elementary, middle or high school they were assigned to attend under the previous boundary arrangements can submit a "transition declaration form" that will allow their children to stay put.
Chalkley said the district allows parents to submit the forms if they don't want their children to attend the new schools they've been assigned to attend.
"It was the district's way of easing the transition," she said. "Anytime you change a boundary, it can be very emotional."
The declaration form is available at all schools, district headquarters and the Educational Support Services office at 2080 Mission Ave., and must be completed and submitted to the support services office by 2:30 p.m. April 13. Mailed forms most be postmarked by April 9.
Chalkley said parents need to decide in the next several days because they won't have this same option next year.
"The window is open until the 13th to make that decision, if a parent or student wants to stay in their current school and the current school feeder pattern," Chalkley said.
Parents whose children attend one of the five "Program Improvement" schools -- which face federal sanctions because they didn't meet federal test-score requirements -- are guaranteed the right to transfer to a school that isn't facing sanctions.
The Program Improvement schools failed to get enough of their students to perform at grade level on standardized tests for two consecutive years. Under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the entire student body must meet specific federal targets annually, along with students in certain demographic groups, including blacks, whites, Asians, Latinos and those learning English.
Parents of children at the Program Improvement schools -- Ditmar, Reynolds and Mission elementary schools or King or Lincoln middle Schools -- are guaranteed the right to transfer their children to another district school that isn't facing federal sanctions.
So far, about 52 students have requested transfers from Program Improvement schools, said Mary Urelius, the district's director of curriculum. About 40 of those requests came from parents of King students who want their children to attend Chavez next year, Urelius said.
The district will provide transportation for children from Program Improvement schools to schools that aren't in Program Improvement. Parents in Program Improvement schools received a letter about this option and must submit a request to transfer their children by Friday.
Any district parent can request a transfer for their child to another school, through the district's open enrollment policy. The form allows the parents to indicate their first and second choices.
Chalkley said that if space is available, parents will get their choice. But if there are more applications than space available, district administrators will decide who gets their choice on a first-come, first-served basis. Administrators will give priority if a child's sibling attends a school the parent selects, or a parent or guardian works at a chosen school.
Open enrollment forms are due by 2:30 p.m. April 30. Mailed forms can be postmarked no later than April 26.

Heidelberg, Germany (SPX) Apr 23, 2007
The rise of the central nervous system in animal evolution has puzzled scientists for centuries. Vertebrates, insects and worms evolved from the same ancestor, but their CNSs are different and were thought to have evolved only after their lineages had split during evolution.
Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL] in Heidelberg now reveal that the vertebrate nervous system is probably much older than expected. The study, which is published in the current issue of Cell, suggests that the last common ancestor of vertebrates, insects and worms already had a centralised nervous system resembling that of vertebrates today.
Many animals have evolved complex nervous systems throughout the course of evolution, but their architectures can differ substantially between species. While vertebrates have a CNS in the shape of a spinal cord running along their backs, insects and annelid worms like the earthworm have a rope-ladder-like chain of nerve cell clusters on their belly side.
Other invertebrates on the other hand have their nerve cells distributed diffusely over their body. Yet, all these species descend from a common ancestor called Urbilateria. If this ancestor already possessed a nervous system, what it might have looked like and how it gave rise to the diversity of nervous systems seen in animals today is what Detlev Arendt and his group study at EMBL. To do so, they investigate the nervous system of a marine annelid worm called Platynereis dumerilii.
"Platynereis can be considered a living fossil," says Arendt, "it still lives in the same environment as the last common ancestors used to and has preserved many ancestral features, including a prototype invertebrate CNS."
Arendt and his group investigated how the developing CNS in Platynereis embryos gets subdivided into the regions that later on give rise to the different CNS structures. The regions are defined by the unique combination of regulatory genes expressed, which endow every type of neuron with a specific molecular fingerprint. Comparing the molecular fingerpint of Platynereis nerve cells with what is known about vertebrates revealed surprising similarities.
"Our findings were overwhelming," says Alexandru Denes, who carried out the research in Arendt's lab. "The molecular anatomy of the developing CNS turned out to be virtually the same in vertebrates and Platynereis. Corresponding regions give rise to neuron types with similar molecular fingerprints and these neurons also go on to form the same neural structures in annelid worm and vertebrate."
"Such a complex arrangement could not have been invented twice throughout evolution, it must be the same system," adds G�sp�r Jekely, a researcher from Arendt's lab, who contributed essentially to the study. "It looks like Platynereis and vertebrates have inherited the organisation of their CNS from their remote common ancestors."
The findings provide strong evidence for a theory that was first put forward by zoologist Anton Dohrn in 1875. It states that vertebrate and annelid CNS are of common descent and vertebrates have turned themselves upside down throughout the course of evolution.
"This explains perfectly why we find the same centralised CNS on the backside of vertebrates and the bellyside of Platynereis," Arendt says. "How the inversion occurred and how other invertebrates have modified the ancestral CNS throughout evolution are the next exciting questions for evolutionary biologists."

The largest study to date of genetic variation among chimpanzees has found that the traditional, geography-based sorting of chimps into three populations-western, central and eastern-is underpinned by significant genetic differences, two to three times greater than the variation between the most different human populations.

Mega Star-Union minister Chiranjeevi refuses to resign
Union minister Chiranjeevi rejected demands for his resignation to keep the state united.
He said to achieve anything, he should remain in position. He said he should be in power if he has to put forth the argument for a united AP or to serve the people.
He has stated that it was his demand that Hyderabad should be the common capital permanently and he was working to achieve it. He also said that violence in agitations was not good.
By deciding not to resign, Chiranjeevi would be inviting the wrath of the Seemandhra people. By demanding that Hyderabad should be the permanent common capital, he would also be inviting the wrath of the people of Telangana.

Research Interests: My research focuses on studying quantum fields in a curved space-time background as opposed to Minkowski space. Specifically, I am interested in quantum effects near strong gravitational sources such as stars, black holes, and wormholes. Such effects are probed by calculation of the stress-energy tensor created by the quantum fields. This works helps us to better understand the interplay of particle physics theory and gravity, in the form of Einstein's general theory of relativity, by approximating a theory of quantum gravity.
So far, I have studied quantum effects of the fermion field using a technique that leads to a full (all modes included), renormalized stress-energy tensor near the extreme Reissner Nordström black hole and a number of Lorentzian wormhole geometries. The energy densities and pressures that compose the stress-energy tensor provide insight into the nature of the quantum effects.

Reminders of a French town's wartime history
Jack Shamash visits the forbidding concrete U-boat pens of St Nazaire
We stumbled across the site by accident as we were driving along the Loire estuary into the city of St Nazaire. I had taken the entire family — wife and two kids — on a motoring holiday on the Atlantic coast of France. My daughter was just in the process of explaining how much she despised us, when I spotted the building ahead of us. It was unmistakeable.
It was a huge brown-grey concrete structure — an utterly brutal slab of a building. There were no signposts or special posters, but I knew immediately what it was. We had reached the famous U-boat pens in St Nazaire.
The base is now next to a modern shopping mall at the edge of the city centre. We…
