NASHVILLE–OK, so this is a little different than reading about the deal in 'Trade Central,' which the specifics of the Miguel Cabrera blockbuster deal will no doubt be broken down shortly and posted for your enjoyment.
This is just my own take. My initial reaction was something like "Holy crap . . . so what? Does Renteria hit eighth now?" The Tigers just loaded up. Big time. And getting Dontrizzle has an equally bombastic effect on the AL Central.
But still, this is the Marlins dealing their way into contention down the road . . . again. Landing Cameron Maybin is also huge; though he still has some developing to do. Andrew Miller, no matter how excited we at Baseball America get about him, still has command–and depending on who you talk to–makeup issues, but I can pretty much say with absolute certainty that this is nothing less than what we'd expect the Florida brass to pull off to deal established big leaguers. There is a heck of a lot of history behind it. All you have to say is Josh Beckett.
"In the Beckett deal when Florida landed Hanley Ramirez and Anibal Sanchez, that's one of the few deals that, several years later if you asked both teams, they'd still do," said one front office executive from an American League club. "This could be another one. The Marlins are just so good on the pro scouting side that getting guys like Maybin and Miller . . . that's going to help them down the road to possibly load up and make another run."
In addition to Maybin–the Tigers' No. 1 prospect and the top prospect in the Arizona Fall League in 2007–and Miller, Florida also landed righthanders Burke Badenhop, Eulogio De La Cruz and Dallas Trahern.
Of that bunch, De La Cruz is my personal favorite. I know he struggled in a handful of appearances in the big leagues this past year, but was solid in Triple-A and the reports out of the Dominican Winter League have been outstanding despite making just three appearances for Estrellas.
"Everything is hard and down," said one international scouting director from a National League club. "The velocity is plus and he has that rough breaking ball with a lot of late life. This is a guy who could pay immediate dividends in the big league pen in 2008."
Time will tell on the Marlins side, and Detroit is built to win now. If giving young prospects time to develop, taking chances and reaping the benefits of multiple World Series titles in the past is any indication, Florida just made their middle-of-the-road system a lot better, which will ultimately make their big league club a contender yet again.

It's not all guns and noise at a modern Civil War encampment. There are also flying frying pans, kids marching and a hog roast to enjoy.
The fifth annual Thistle Ridge Civil War Encampment gets underway Saturday morning in Fayette, rain or shine. The event is located in the northeast corner of the village, off Park Drive and Industrial Parkway (County Road S).
In past years, the Thistle Ridge event has focused on skirmishes in the early part of the Civil War. Battles featured this year are the pivotal confrontation from Gettysburg known as the Wheatfield and Snodgrass Hill from Chickamauga.
The Thistle Ridge Encampment doesn't involve huge numbers of troops as many large events do, but it does provide visitors with the opportunity to engage with the reënactors and learn about the important time in America's history.
Visitors will be able to watch reënactors participate in games such as the frying pan toss and the wet chemise contest, and also learn about the workings of a muzzleloading rifle and daily life in a camp.
The challenges of feeding large numbers of troops will be addresses as campsites demonstrate cooking with cast iron utensils and wood fires.
A highlight of the weekend is the lantern tour beginning at 9 p.m. Saturday. Guides will walk visitors through the camp to describe activities by lantern light.
A whole hog will be prepared by Hogs R Us of Fayette to serve as a fund-raiser for the annual event. Eaters can save some cash by buying tickets in advance at Beaverson Insurance Agency on West Main Street.
A special event this year—one that might not occur again—is an authentic wedding, performed in Civil War era style.

This year give the gift of pain relief through Z-Coil® shoes.
Our feet are the foundation of our body. Did you know that one-quarter of all the bones in the human body are down in our feet! And, of course, when these bones are out of alignment, so is the rest of the body.
The average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day, according to foot.com. That equals four times around the circumference of the earth during an average lifetime. The impact of walking is two to three times our body weight, and the impact of running is three to five times our body weight. It's amazing to imagine that our feet endure that much torture.
While the foot care market has developed many products to ease or alleviate the pain of everyday walking and running, many of these products only mask the problem. If we think of our bodies as vehicles without shocks, it easy to realize the importance of good footwear. Essentially there is nothing to absorb or distribute the impact when we are on our feet. Is there anything we can do to soften the blow of each step?
Z-Coil® shoes, with their large steel spring in the heel, act as shock absorbers, reducing the impact to the body that typically causes pain and injury. The shoes are the ideal gift for many professionals who are on their feet most of the day, including nurses, restaurant workers, teachers, construction workers, and beauticians.
The unique Z-Coil® spring, combined with a rigid, orthotic support and extra cushioning - four times more cushioning than regular shoes - helps alleviate the pain of heel spurs, plantar fascistis, arthritis, sciatica, Achilles tendonitis, knee arthritis, back and neck pain, and more.
Stop by the Lubbock Z-Coil® store, located at 3434 34th St., to browse the selection of different selections or to purchase a gift certificate. Z-Coil® shoes are sure to put a spring in anyone's step; come try on a pair for yourself and feel the difference.
New styles are now available - Z-West Boots and zip loafers. Perfect for construction workers, Z-Coil does carry a line of steel-toed shoes.
Z-Coil® also houses CleanedUp Movies - a company owned by Joe and Patriece Marshall. CleanedUp Movies provides an alternative that edits profanity, graphic violence and nudity out of movies. Rent any of the more than 800-plus movies now available. Enjoy the movie, relish the story and skip all the junk.
Visit Z-Coil® and CleanedUp Movies Tuesday through Friday from 12:30 to 8 p.m. or on Saturdays from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m.
Visit www.zcoil.com or call (806) 687-6677 for additional information about these revolutionary shoes.
Z-Coil shoes will be featured on the CBS talk show "The Doctors". Watch for more information as Dr. Travis Storks speaks about these amazing shoes and how he could jog longer just by slipping on a pair of Z-Coil shoes!
Gift certificates make a thoughtful gift for the holiday season.

This week, we've invited a few of our authors to share their favorite Thanksgiving recipes with you. Whether they're family tradition or the product of a frantic internet search, we're excited to hear and share with you what these writers have on their tables on this holiday season. Today, Laura McHugh, author of The Weight of Blood, shares her grandmother's recipe for stuffing (my personal favorite part of Thanksgiving!).
My grandma passed away just after I graduated from college, and I've now lived half of my life without her. That doesn't seem possible, as she is with me each day in a hundred small ways, andespecially in the kitchen: her dented measuring cup; the rolling pin with the broken handle.
Every Thanksgiving we make Grandma's stuffing, and we do our best to get it right. She never wrote down her recipe, so we work from memory. It is a group effort. My sisters and I hover around the stove like a team of surgeons about to perform a risky operation. Our brothers stand back, requesting status updates and begging us not to screw up. We remind each other to be generous with the sage, to mix in the egg with bare hands. We fret over turkey drippings. We always think we won't have enough bread and we always end up with too much.
When it comes out of the oven, I take a test bite, hoping that it will transport me back to my grandma's tiny kitchen in Keokuk, Iowa, where she let us tear the bread and crack the eggs. When the stuffing turns out right, there is nothing better. We serve it with reverence, like communion wafers. We rejoice as though we have done something miraculous. We eat the scraps left on our children's plates—they don't quite grasp its importance. When it is right, it is more than stuffing; it is a certain kind of magic, like Grandma is still with us at the table.
Recipe: Grandma's Stuffing
1 loaf of dried or toasted white bread
1 small onion, chopped
1 stalk of celery, chopped
2 eggs
Turkey drippings
Dried sage
Tear the bread into pieces and place in a baking dish (kids love to help with this part!). Sprinkle a generous amount of sage over the bread. Cook onion and celery until tender. In a mixing bowl,combine cooked onion and celery with two beaten eggs, more sage, and a little salt and pepper. Add this to the bread and mix with your hands. Pour turkey drippings over the stuffing, adding enough to make the bread moist, but not soggy. Feel free to sprinkle on some more sage, because Grandma was right, you can never have too much. Bake approximately 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

We caught up with romance novel cover model and Bay Area native Jason Baca to find out his secrets to staying young- and healthy-looking. The 37-year-old Baca lives in Los Gatos with his wife and cat.
I do a little something each day. I put in one solid hour in the gym six days a week. I eat plenty of avocado, orange and mango, which are all excellent for skin. I also have a celery stick every couple of days, which helps reduce stress. Stress can age the skin and also hinder workouts.
I live on a high-protein diet most of the time.
When a shoot is approaching, I apply a facial mask a few times a week. I shower with Dove's cucumber and green tea body wash, then apply Maca Root Energetic Face Protector for men by The Body Shop, and Nivea's anti-aging eye balm for men, which removes dark circles. It is important that I look my absolute best the day of the shoot.
Weeks before a big shoot, my workouts become more rigorous. I concentrate on my stomach crunches, I do them in the morning and again at night. I do weightlifting 6:30-7:30 in the morning and cardio 6-7 in the evening, and in between replenish my muscles by eating egg whites, tuna in water, salmon.
I am a big fan of Burke Williams Spa in San Jose, where I often go for a hydrating facial. It keeps my face young. I also use Merlot Natural Grape Seed Extract Purifying Peel-Off Mask, which helps with pores and blackheads. I apply this upon awakening in the morning, and while it dries, I do stomach crunches. Hey, some guys may be reading this laughing right now, but when they get premature aging around their eyes, they probably will wish they read this a little closer.
Another secret: I use Oil of Olay Quench Plus Firming Body Lotion – it's a 2-in-1 creation that I live by.

Members of Congress sent a letter to the MTA Wednesday, urging the agency to call another presidential emergency board to deal with an impending LIRR strike, or to follow the first board's suggestions.
"Any disruption in LIRR severe would severely impact many of our constituents," said the letter to MTA Chairman Thomas Prendergast, from 12 reps, including Peter King, Steve Israel, and Grace Meng.
The letter also said that the strike would force riders to use other forms of transportation that are "time consuming, inconvenient, and costly."
Workers in the Sheet Metal, Air and Transportation Union voted earlier this month to strike in March if the MTA doesn't adopt the recommendations from an emergency board of negotiators appointed by President Obama.
Among other things, the panel called for pay raises.
It did not suggest work-rule changes.
"The Unions do not want to strike, but it looks like the MTA does," said Anthony Simon, head of the SMART union, and urged the MTA to adopt the negotiators' recommendations.
MTA spokesman Adam Lisberg said the findings of the presidential board "ignored the sacrifices MTA customers and taxpayers make in financing railroad operations, the critical need for capital maintenance, and the stark realities of MTA finances."
He also said the MTA is hopeful they reach an agreement with workers.
On Friday, unions representing LIRR workers, as well as federal and local officials, will gather at the Transport Workers Union Local 100 to discuss strategies to avert the March strike.

The MaxSonar EZ1 provides very short to long-range detection and ranging, in an incredibly small package. It can detect objects from 0-inches to 254-inches (6.45-meters) and provides sonar range information from 6-inches out to 254-inches with 1-inch resolution. (Objects from 0 inches to 6-inches range as 6-inches.) The interface output formats included are pulse width output (PWM), analog voltage output (Vcc/512 volts per inch), and serial digital output (9600 baud).
A good sensor for when a Sharp IR distance sensor won't cut it. For example of using this with an Arduino, see the Halloween Pumpkin project. Much more information is available in the datasheet. In the Adafruit store now!
Tilt ball switch – The "poor man's" accelerometer! Tilt sensors are switches that can detect basic motion/orientation. The metal tube has a little metal ball that rolls around in it, when its tilted upright, the ball rolls onto the contacts sticking out of end and shorts them together. There's no datasheet but they're fairly easy to use! In the store now!

I recently used the EZ1 in an interactive exhibit for the 2009 Boston Cyberarts Festival, and can attest to how easy it is to work with. I used the serial TX output with a PSoC micro, and with a little filtering, got accurate and repeatable sensing of people in the 3 to 6 foot range. Here's a short video about the project, though there's not much in there about the EZ1 specifically.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Subverting the Japanese Peace Constitution undermines Hiroshima Day 2015 and the peace loving desires of the Japanese people
There is no objective justification for recent Japanese Security Legislation. The Chinese threat has been exaggerated, Japan remains relatively untouched by global terrorism and there is absolutely no need to squander moral reputation for cheap and short term political advantage. I hope the Japanese electorate will vote in large numbers at the Upper House election to challenge LDP subversion of the Constitution and basic democratic processes. I hope that the thousands who have been protesting against this legislation inside and outside of the Diet will prevail and again reassert Japan's important moral pacifist credentials.

From AU$28, £14.95 and 16 euros.
Find this wine. Apologies to purple pagers in the US: the wine is made in such small quantites that it not currently available in the States.
This deliciously concentrated and oaky Mount Horrocks Semillon 2007 Clare Valley stood out from the crowd at the extensive Australia Day tasting in London at the end of January. I had been tasting mostly Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon/Semillon blends (which I will be reporting on in a separate article) but couldn't resist straying into the varietal Semillon camp here.
The wine exudes classy oak aromas but they certainly don't dominate the pure, zesty grapefruit and stone fruit flavours and the creamy texture on the palate. Even with all that flavour and depth, there's an intense clarity and a long minerally but still mouthwateringly fresh finish. Yum.
Stephanie Toole's total production at Mount Horrocks in the Clare Valley is about 5,000 cases, which is why she can keep a close eye on every detail that matters. She also produces very good Riesling, both dry and very sweet, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. All the fruit is handpicked. Half of it is estate grown and the rest – including the grapes for this single-vineyard Semillon – come from dry-grown vines owned by Peter and Yvonne Peglidis, highly respected growers in Watervale. This wine is made to go with food. It's lovely now but I'd be keen to try it again in a year or two. (A look at Wine-Searcher.com suggests that there are some older vintages still around and about.)
The oakiness at this stage in the wine's life is not surprising: it was barrel fermented in French oak (40% new, the rest second and third use) for nine months, with lees stirring every two weeks for the first three months. The fine use of oak, fresh acidity and depth of flavour are reminiscent of a very good young white Bordeaux in a riper year, even though this is out and out, gently waxy, Semillon without a dash of Sauvignon.

Should we therefore think that the West will go to war without a mandate from the Security Council, as NATO did in Yugoslavia? This is unlikely because at the time Russia was in ruins. Today, after issuing three vetoes to protect Syria, it must intervene or forsake any international action. However Sergey Lavrov has wisely rejected a Third World War. He said that his country was not ready to go to war against anyone, even over Syria. It could therefore be an indirect intervention in support of Syria, as China did during the Vietnam War .
Iran then, through its Deputy Chief of Staff, Massoud Jazayeri, indicated that the attack on Syria would be crossing the "red line" and that if it took this step, the White House would endure "serious consequences." Though Iran has neither the resources of Russia, nor alliances, it is certainly one of the top 10 global military powers. Therefore, to attack Syria is to run the risk of retaliation against Israel and uprisings in much of the Arab world, including Saudi Arabia. The recent intervention of the Lebanese Hezbollah and the statements of its Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, such as the Palestinian organization PFLP- General Command, leave no doubt.
Questioned by the Russian press, Syrian President Bashar al -Assad, said: "The statements made by US politicians, Western and other countries is an insult to common sense and an expression of contempt for the public opinion of their peoples. This is nonsense: first accuse, then gather evidence. This task is carried out by a powerful country, the United States ( … ) This kind of accusation is a purely political response to the series of victories won by government forces against the terrorists. "
In Russia, the President of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Duma, the journalist and geopolitician, Alexei Pushkov, commented on his Twitter account : " Washington and London have pronounced Assad guilty before the conclusions of UN inspectors . They will accept nothing but a guilty verdict . Any other verdict will be rejected. "
The notion of a new war in Syria squares badly with the economic problems of the United States and Europe. If selling weapons is a way to earn money, destroying a state without hope of return in the short or medium term can worsen the situation.
According to a Reuters / Ipsos poll conducted after the August 21st attack, 60% of the US public opposed intervention in Syria against 9% who supported it . If they were convinced of the use of chemical weapons in Syria, they remained 46% in opposition to the war and 25% in support. The same survey indicates that U.S. respondents are even less fond of secret war : 89 % said the US should not arm the rebels, against 11% who want to arm them more. Finally, four options were offered to respondents : airstrikes ( supported by 12%), creating a no-fly zone ( 11%), the financing of a multinational force ( 9%), and direct U.S. action ( 4%).
In France, Le Figaro, published by the arms dealer Dassault, asked its readers and, at the end of the day, 79.60 % opposed the war versus 20.40% in support. It will certainly be difficult to reverse public opinion and go to war.
Another interpretation of events is possible: some videos showing the victims of chemical attacks actually circulated on the Internet a few hours before the attacks. It will always be possible for Westerners to "discover" the deception in time and backtrack. However, the case of chemical weapons in Iraq has shown that Westerners could lie to the international community and escape with impunity once their evil deed is accomplished.
The charges from jihadists and their Western sponsors emerged while the Syrian Arab Army launched a major offensive, "Shield of Damascus" to free the capital. The shot of the two shells of the "Brigade of Islam" came at the beginning of the offensive, which continued for 5 days and resulted in significant losses among jihadists (at least 1,500 killed and wounded of the about 25,000 present). All this agitation may be only psychological warfare to both hide this defeat and attempt to cripple the Syrian offensive. This is especially a way for Washington to test the Iranian response after the election of Sheikh Hassan Rohani to his presidency. And it is now clear that the latter will not oppose the policy of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
However, during the war against Libya, I had underestimated the ability of the United States to violate all the rules, including those of NATO. Basing myself on documents from the Atlantic Alliance, I insisted on the long resilience of the Libyan Jamahiriya confronting its armed opposition. I ignored the holding of a secret meeting on the NATO base in Naples behind the back of the Atlantic Council. At the time, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Turkey, Israel, Qatar and Jordan secretly planned the use of Alliance assets to bomb Tripoli. Not trusting their allies, whom they knew would be opposed to an attack so costly in human lives, they had not informed them. The Atlantic Alliance was no longer an Alliance proper but an ad hoc coalition. In a few days, the taking of Tripoli caused at least 40,000 deaths, according to internal reports of the Red Cross. Such a manoeuvre may be being organized : the Chiefs of Staff of approximately the same states, plus Saudi Arabia and Canada, are gathered since Sunday and until tonight in Amman under the chairmanship of the CentCom commander, General Lloyd J. Austin III. They are considering five options: supplying weapons to the Contras, targeted bombings, creating a no-fly zone, establishment of buffer zones and land invasion.

Receptos, a biotech company developing therapies for immune and metabolic disorders, said Wednesday it has priced its initial public offering of 5.2 million shares at $14 apiece.
Shares are expected to begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker RCPT on Thursday, May 9.
Receptos has given underwriters an over-allotment option to buy up to 780,000 shares. The offering is expected to close on May 14. Credit Suisse Securities, Leerink Swann and BMO Capital Markets are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering. Wedbush PacGrow Life Sciences is co-manager.
Receptos' lead drug, RPC1063, is a small molecule for autoimmune disorders, including relapsing multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease.
The company has begun a Phase 2/3 clinical trial of RPC1063 to demonstrate efficacy in relapsing multiple sclerosis. Receptos is now in the Phase 2 part of the trial, and is recruiting patients.
Biotech public offerings are enjoying a favorable investor climate now. The Nasdaq Biotech Index closed Wednesday at $1,824.20, compared to $1,340.76 on Nov. 15. On May 7, Carlsbad-based Isis Pharmaceuticals, which had not held a stock offering for years, announced it would sell up to $10.35 million shares. On May 2, San Diego-based Ambit Biosciences said it planned to sell 4.64 million shares for between $13 and $15 apiece.
On April 18, Cambridge, Mass.-based Epizyme said it planned an IPO. On April 12, South San Francisco-based Portola Pharmaceuticals said it planned to raise $115 million in its IPO.

That Thing You Want To Say
The first welfare office I ever stepped in was in this one-story dark brown office building that was on the curve of a road that made it seem even more remote than it was. It was unmarked and so drab looking that it made me wonder if, in brighter daylight, it would somehow look more cheerful. Nothing about it seemed as if it had . . .

Officials with biotechnology company VaxGen this week said the company may pull funding from its clinical trial of its experimental HIV vaccine AIDSVAX in Thailand early, Thailand's Nation newspaper reports. Company officials said that because VaxGen currently lacks the funds to conduct a thorough analysis of the clinical trial data, it may back away from the study before final data is collected. The Phase III study currently has about 2,500 participants, many injection drug users at a high risk for HIV infection. Although VaxGen officials haven't made a formal announcement about the study, Kajit Choopanya, who is directing the clinical trial, said company employees are split about whether or not to continue financing the research.
Peggy Johnston, director of the vaccine and prevention research program at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said a decision by VaxGen to end funding of the research would have "far-reaching" effects on HIV vaccine research in general. "Imagine going to a developing country again and asking them to roll up their sleeves for an efficacy trial if we didn't finish this one," she said. "We are in discussions now to decide what [VaxGen] will need to complete the trial. From a scientific perspective, it would be a tremendous loss not to complete the trial and analyze the data."
VaxGen announced in February that a similar AIDSVAX clinical trial that included many gay and bisexual men in North America and Europe showed that the vaccine reduced the overall rate of new HIV infections by only 3.8%, although there was evidence suggesting that AIDVAX may provide stronger protects for African-Americans and Asians.

Front End Systemic Capture (FESC) Report Card
The New York Stock Exchange's Front End System Capture (FESC) Report Cards are now only available through FINRA's Report Center. These report cards assist NYSE-reporting firms in monitoring compliance with NYSE Rule 123(e) and (f), which requires NYSE-reporting firms—immediately after receiving an order on the floor—to submit the order information to the FESC database before the orders are represented on the floor.
FESC Report Cards provide statistics on New York Stock Exchange, LLC and NYSE Amex Equities LLC (collectively, the "Exchange" or "NYSE") Members and Member Organizations' (collectively the "Members'") compliance with NYSE Rule 123(e) and (f) (the "Rule" or "NYSE Rule"). The FESC Report Cards also help Members comply with the Rule, better police themselves and supervise their activities.
The FESC Report Cards are comprised of the:
- FESC Summary Chart: The Front End Systematic Capture (FESC) Summary Chart provides a graphic view of the Category summary counts by day. This stacked bar chart provides the Category count on the y-axis and the related day on the x-axis. Additionally, each Category is identified by a unique color.
- NYSE Rule 123 (e) and (f) Quality Performance & Summary Report Card: The FESC and OCS Activity Quality Performance & Summary Report Card provides an overview of the firm's performance with rules NYSE Rule 123(e) and NYSE Rule 123(f). The Quality Performance section provides a quick glance of key metrics for a firm's performance against potential violations.
- Missing Order Detail, Execution Prior to Order and Execution Exceeds Order Report: This FESC report card contains the details related to execution reports that were submitted without corresponding order details, submitted prior to the entry of the order details, and/or, the aggregate quantity of the execution reports submitted, exceeded the quantity recorded for the corresponding order.
- Missing or Invalid Account Type Report: This FESC report card contains execution reports where the account type indicator was missing or invalid account types were submitted as part of the execution report.
- Missing or Invalid Order Details Report: This FESC report card contains those order reports which were submitted with missing order details or contained invalid order details.
The FESC Report Cards are posted on or around the 15th of the following calendar month. Users who have not opted-out of notifications will receive an email indicating that the new reports have been published and are available.
The FESC reports were originally made available in the fall of 2008 on the NYSE's Electronic Filing Platform (EFP) and migrated to the FINRA Report Center in early 2012. On June 25, 2008, NYSE Regulation, Inc. issued Information Memo 08-31 announcing the initial introduction of these reports to Clearing Firms and later issued Information Memo 08-55 highlighting a second release of the FESC Report Cards which made them available to all Member Organizations. After a brief period in 2009 where the reports were unavailable FESC Report Cards were reintroduced on September 25, 2009 (Information Memo 09-45).
NYSE Rule 123 (e) and (f) requires that immediately following the receipt of an order on the Floor, Members and Member Organizations must submit the details of the order to the FESC database before the orders are represented and or executed on the Floor. Additionally, the Rule requires that all reports of execution related to such orders be reported through FESC or another system prescribed (e.g. Online Comparison System). This requires that firm submit specific data elements to be recorded when an order is entered and the related execution(s) is reported.

I have a 1996 chevrolet monte carlo ls, 3.1l
the problem started after I rinsed the motor off. The car quit charging the battery. I replaced the alternator, the car has a new battery. I disconnect the battery and the car dies. The computer plug in to the alternator is putting out 10.46 volts. I was thinking this has something to do with it. All the fusible links in the starter wires are good. The alternator I put on the car is a ac delco remanufactured alternator.

Rick Koster Nets a Gumbo as Diverse and Delicious as its Namesake
Experts on the subtitled subgenres may not like Louisiana Music. They"ll feel too many details were left out, or subtleties were misrepresented. Never mind that. Rick Koster states in his introduction, "this book is about a search for Louisiana music, and it all starts not far from where jazz bubbled into existence, in the French Quarter of New Orleans." He threw his net as wide as he could, searched high and low, past and present. Due to time and length constraints, he knew some stuff would be left out. But in the process, Koster created a thoroughly readable cross-section of an incredibly musical region. Louisiana Music is much more than a reference work or book of lists.
After introducing a broad musical category, he introduces the major characters, then the minor characters (frequently subdivided by instrument family.) The entire narrative is woven with a Southern story-tellers wit.
Forced to draw the line somewhere Koster describes most musicians in just a paragraph or two. Even so these colorful pieces form a bewitching mosaic. Of course some musicians are such characters they warrant longer passages i.e. Louis Armstrong Jelly Roll Morton Buddy Bolden and the irrepressible Kermit Ruffins & the Barbecue Swingers (named for his custom of pulling a barbecue pit behind his truck to hand out sausages at his own gigs.) Still other musicians transcend category and thus appear over and over such as Dr. John Professor Longhair Fats Domino Koster builds a compelling argument that no other land has produced such diverse music. He shows with specifics how Louisiana birthed (or at least nurtured) jazz blues brass band Rhythm & Blues Cajun Creole Zydeco Indian Voodoo swamp pop carnival songs folk country rock & roll Gospel rap Hip Hop neo-classical even forms of Klezmer. Fact is cooler than fiction when it comes to the diversity of Louisiana musicians whose very names boast tremendous diversity. It's interesting to note that for each of the musical styles that evolved strict traditionalists continue to practice in the region. Filling in all the gaps are modernists who display varying shades of local color such as Randy Newman Aaron Neville Better Than Ezra Mulebone Continental Drifters and to some degree Britney Spears and Trent Reznor. When reviewing his first book Texas Music Booklist complained he "seemingly includes every noted musician who ever drew breath in the Lone Star State". When it comes to the state of Louisiana however it's impossible to exaggerate.
Louisiana Music is a sort of grown-up's fanzine. If you care about music at all you"ll catch Koster's contagious enthusiasm. His success can be measured by how many pages you dog-ear how many bands and titles you scribble in the back cover to check out later and how sold you are on finally visiting New Orleans for yourself. It's really too bad this book doesn"t come with maps and a compilation CD. After introducing each broad musical category Koster names the major characters (usually subdivided by instrument family) then the minor characters. The entire narrative is woven with a Southern story-teller's wit. Particularly juicy tidbits are recounted verbatim from his reporter's notebook. An extensive bibliography is also provided.
With the world's attention turned to hurricane rebuilding there is no better time to read a musical survey of the region. Highly recommended.

'I.Am': a new film to reach people outside of churches
March saw the completion of the 'I.Am' film, a short musical and dramatic interpretation of some of the major stories within the Bible.
Using music, song, dance, rap, drama and montage, as well as animation, it covers creation, the fall, Noah, Abraham and populating the earth, Moses, Psalms, the birth and baptism of Jesus, His temptation in the desert, death and resurrection, all in short scenes that tell the stories subtly, leaving space for reflection. Themes such as God's care of people (being our shepherd) and His holiness are also introduced.
The film is the latest initiative from Christians who, in the run up to the Olympics, organised a praise bus, picking up new bands every day, to go ahead of the Olympic Torch taking praise and worship along the route. The bus travelled over 8,500 miles in 64 days and the organisers estimate over a million people saw the bus and heard its message.
The praise bus resulted from two visions given to Christine Bonfield. The latest undertaking is the result of a further vision and instructions to "saturate the land with a beam of light".
The company behind the film, newly formed Amifilm, explain it has been set up "to assist churches to bring a glimpse of a loving, forgiving God to all people. Our vision is to enable churches to go beyond their own parameters to speak to people in today's culture through a unique, short, cutting edge, musical and dramatic film presentation."
The film package can be purchased through the Am I Film website but they ask for churches to engage with their road show first - or see the film being used by churches/organisations who have already attended a road show. If churches/organisations genuinely cannot afford it, then the film will be offered free.
Christine Bonfield explains how she saw the vision that led to this latest project: "At the end of 2012, the Lord revealed a plan to give those, who have neither time nor inclination to go to church a glimpse of His love and grace, en masse.
"The instrument would be a unique, musical, 25-minute film, shown in a setting where people would be served a drink in a pleasant environment."
After receiving confirmation, Christine and her husband contacted Allison and Arthur Humphries, who had managed the praise bus, to see if they felt drawn to the vision and would be willing to assist churches to engage with the film by taking a road show all around the UK. They were very enthusiastic.
Musician and composer David Ceredig-Evans was commissioned to write the music. At a later date, the film company Three S Films was commissioned to produce the film. The film has taken approximately six months to make.
Since the middle of March, Allison and Arthur have been running the road show around the country, briefing churches who are interested in showing the film about the vision behind it, the best places to show it and offering assistance – as well as answering questions. The team also asks churches who show the film to record the number who view it so they can know when an area is fully covered.
The aim has always been to reach people who would not set foot in church and so the organisers request that: "a different venue be found where those people feel comfortable. The list is endless but our main hope is for churches in towns to obtain empty shops for a limited time, using their charitable status… Other venues would include the work place, pubs, prisons, schools, halls, secular festivals and clubs."
The team has expressed a desire to see the film shown on rotation, if practical. "Ideally, the film would run every hour, allowing 20 minutes for change over of audience." They see the film as a stand-alone message that will impact viewers as they mull it over for themselves rather than being used as a vehicle for dialogue.
The road show is running right through until the end of May, and there is still time to request a visit to your area. It will also start again in the autumn. Anyone interested is invited to contact the organisers, email firstname.lastname@example.com

In multicast video streaming over a cellular network, due to the nature of the multicast communication, from a source to multiple recipients, and due to the characteristics of the radio channel, different for each receiver, transmission errors are addressed at the application level by using Forward Error Correction (FEC) techniques. However, in order to protect the communication over the radio channel, FEC techniques are also applied at the physical layer. Another important technique to improve the communication of the radio channel is the use of a single-frequency network. This paper analyzes the performance of a video streaming service over a cellular network taking into account the combined impact of different factors that affect the transmission, both the physical deployment of the service and the two levels of FEC. The proceeding at: European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC 2015), took place in June 29/July 2, 2015, in Paris, France. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Antennas parameterization for the detection of partial discharges Robles Muñoz, Guillermo Sánchez Fernández, Matilde Pilar Albarracín Sánchez, Ricardo Rojas Moreno, Mónica Víctoria Rajo Iglesias, Eva Martínez Tarifa, Juan Manuel http://hdl.handle.net/10016/21222 2017-04-28T12:56:06Z 2013-10-23T00:00:00Z Antennas parameterization for the detection of partial discharges Robles Muñoz, Guillermo; Sánchez Fernández, Matilde Pilar; Albarracín Sánchez, Ricardo; Rojas Moreno, Mónica Víctoria; Rajo Iglesias, Eva; Martínez Tarifa, Juan Manuel Partial discharge (PD) detection is a widely extended technique for electrical insulation diagnosis. Ultrahigh-frequency detection techniques appear as a feasible alternative to traditional methods owing to their inherent advantages such as the capability to detect PDs online and to locate the piece of equipment with insulation problems in substations and cables. In this paper, four antennas are thoroughly studied by means of their theoretical and experimental behavior when measuring electromagnetic pulses radiated by PD activity. The theoretic study of the band of frequencies in which the pulse emits and the measurement of the parameters S11 are complemented with the frequency response and wavelet transform of a set of 500 time signals acquired by the antennas, and the results are analyzed in detail. 2013-10-23T00:00:00Z Iterative Joint Estimation Procedure for Channel and Frequency Offset in Multi-Antenna OFDM Systems With an Insufficient Cyclic Prefix Prieto del Amo, Carlos Fernández-Getino García, María Julia http://hdl.handle.net/10016/21183 2017-04-18T14:52:33Z 2013-10-01T00:00:00Z Iterative Joint Estimation Procedure for Channel and Frequency Offset in Multi-Antenna OFDM Systems With an Insufficient Cyclic Prefix Prieto del Amo, Carlos; Fernández-Getino García, María Julia This paper addresses a strategy to improve the joint channel and frequency offset (FO) estimation in multi-antenna systems, widely known as multiple-input-multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM), in the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI) and intercarrier interference (ICI) occasioned by an insufficient cyclic prefix (CP). The enhancement is attained by the use of an iterative joint estimation procedure (IJEP) that successively cancels the interferences located in the preamble of the OFDM frame, which is used for the joint estimation and initially contains the interferences due to a CP shorter than the channel length. The IJEP requires at certain steps a proper iterative interference cancellation algorithm, which makes use of an initial FO compensation and channel estimation obtained due to the use of a symmetric sequence in the preamble. After the iterative cancellation of interferences, the procedure performs an additional joint channel and FO estimation whose mean square error converges to the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB). Later on, this subsequent joint estimation permits the removal of the interferences in the data part of the frame, which are also due to an insufficient CP, in the same iterative fashion but saving iterations compared with the use of other estimation strategies. The appraisal of the procedure has been performed by assessing the convergence of the simulated estimators to the CRB as a function of the number of iterations. Additionally, simulations for the evaluation of the bit error rate (BER) have been carried out to probe how the utilization of the proposed IJEP clearly improves the performance of the system. It is concluded that, with a reduced number of iterations in the preamble, the IJEP converges to the theoretical bounds, thus reducing the disturbances caused by a hard wireless channel or a deliberately insufficient CP. 2013-10-01T00:00:00Z Energy Efficient Peak Power Reduction in OFDM with Amplitude Predistortion Aided by Orthogonal Pilots Paredes Paredes, Martha C. Fernández-Getino García, María Julia http://hdl.handle.net/10016/21176 2017-04-18T14:52:32Z 2013-02-01T00:00:00Z Energy Efficient Peak Power Reduction in OFDM with Amplitude Predistortion Aided by Orthogonal Pilots Paredes Paredes, Martha C.; Fernández-Getino García, María Julia The high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is a main drawback of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. We propose a two-step technique to reduce the PAPR consisting of a metric-based constellation extension method, such as Simple Amplitude Predistortion (SAP) algorithm, aided by Orthogonal Pilot Sequences (OPS) in a previous step, where we also provide a low-complex implementation of OPS scheme. We show that our proposal, named OP-SAP, outperforms previous approaches in terms of PAPR reduction, due to joining the benefits of Orthogonal Pilots with SAP algorithm. Moreover, it is energy efficient within two aspects: transmitted energy and implementation energy. OP-SAP saves up to 57% of transmitted energy per predistorted symbol compared to SAP. Regarding implementation energy, PAPR reduction techniques introduce some additional computational complexity, which requires extra cycles in the processor that demand energy consumption. We present an exhaustive analysis on computational power cost that shows the low power consumption of OP-SAP compared to other methods as SeLected Mapping (SLM), what yields a remarkable energy saving in its practical implementation. 2013-02-01T00:00:00Z
