It's one thing for a State Legislator to be out drinking in the early morning hours while he is away from his wife and family in Des Moines for the legislative session. I guess it's even ok if that legislator is drunk off his ass and wreaks his car at 3 a.m. And by now we should expect that legislator to get let off the hook on a technicality because the cop forgot to tell him if he refused to take the breathalyzer, he would lose his commercial drivers licenses, even though he would automatically lose it for drinking and driving in the first place.
Rep. Kerry Burt's first term in office has been a train wreck…err…car wreck, I mean disaster.
Things got a lot worse for Rep. Burt yesterday when State Auditor Dave Vaudt released a report showing that Rep. Burt knowingly lied about his address so that his son could get cheap tuition at the Price Laboratory School in Cedar Falls.
So basically, Rep. Burt conned the State of Iowa out of $37,000. Heck, he's stealing money that could go help educated needy kids.
Now I don't know about you, but when you get caught stealing from your employer, you get fired or go to jail.
There are no excuses for what Burt did. He knew his kids were not in the school's low-tuition zone. He used a relative's address to enroll them and was even outspoken about what he was doing. Rep. Burt said, "I guess I have to keep using this address because you haven't lowered the tuition yet." Maybe the worst offense of all is the fact that Burt was in cahoots with the former school administrator. He knew what he was doing was wrong, and he did it anyway.
Speaker Murphy and Rep. McCarthy have helped Rep. Burt cover-up enough of his sins. They need to do the right thing and ask him to resign.
Here is Vaudt's Report, it's worth the read.
Burt – According to information we obtained from Power School® for the 2008/2009 academic year, Kerry Burt had 2 children enrolled at the School and the children resided at 1815 Franklin Street, Cedar Falls, which is a residence within the Zone. According to the Black Hawk County Assessor's website, the deed holder of the Franklin Street address is Marguerite Pircer, who has resided there since 2001.
With the assistance of a DCI special agent, we interviewed Ms. Pircer, who stated Kerry Burt is her daughter's paternal uncle. Ms. Pircer also verified she did not have a guardianship agreement for Mr. Burt's 2 children who attend the School and neither he nor the children had resided at the address. Ms. Pircer also stated she received mail in Mr. Burt's name from the School at her home, which she sent to school with her daughter, who also attends the School, to be delivered to Mr. Burt's son.
It was her understanding Mr. Burt used the Franklin Street address on the children's registration forms so they would be able attend the School. We also interviewed Ms. Pircer's fiancé, who stated he had resided at the Franklin Street address for the last 4 years and Mr. Burt's children had not resided at the address during the time he had been residing there. According to the Iowa Secretary of State's website, Kerry Burt is a State Representative for District 21. His address is listed as 150 Hawthorne Avenue, Waterloo, which is outside the Zone. In addition, according to the Black Hawk County Assessor's website, Kimberly A. Griffith is listed as the deed holder of 150 Hawthorne Avenue, Waterloo. During an interview with Mr. Burt, he stated Ms. Griffith is his fiancé and he has resided at the address for approximately 13 years.
On April 3, 2009, during an interview with Dean Callahan on the University campus, we learned Mr. Burt had attended a local Legislator's Breakfast. University officials periodically meet with local Legislators to discuss proposed legislation and its impact on the University. The breakfast held in April was attended by University President Benjamin Allen. When we spoke with President Allen, he stated this was the first time Mr. Burt had attended a breakfast. According to the President, after the breakfast, Mr. Burt told him he was possibly 1 of the parents being investigated because he had put an incorrect address on School applications so his children could attend the School. Mr. Burt also told him he had talked to Principal J.D. Cryer that morning prior to the breakfast.
On April 3, 2009, we met with Mr. Cryer regarding his meeting with Mr. Burt. Mr. Cryer stated Mr. Burt came into his office and indicated he was being audited. He stated when his oldest child had started school, he was living in the Zone on Franklin Street. Mr. Burt stated his oldest child's biological mother lived in Cedar Falls and she wanted him to go to Cedar Falls Schools. Mr. Burt stated he was from Waterloo and wanted the child to go there, so they compromised on the School. Mr. Burt also stated he had remarried since then and moved to Waterloo, but kept using the Franklin Street address when he registered his children for school. Mr. Burt stated "the Auditors had talked to him about his falsifying records."
With the assistance of a DCI special agent, we met with Mr. Burt and his attorney on April 29, 2009. During the meeting, Mr. Burt admitted he completed the enrollment/registration forms for his children. The forms showed the students resided at 1815 Franklin Street. However, neither he nor the children had ever resided at that address.
During the interview, we asked Mr. Burt if he applied for open enrollment for the children from the Waterloo Community School District. Mr. Burt stated when he had initially tried to open enroll from the District, he was told by a District Administrator it was unlikely the open enrollment would be approved. Mr. Burt stated he completed the forms, but had never received a denial letter from the District or the School. Mr. Burt also stated he spoke with a specific representative of the Waterloo Community School District. When we contacted that individual, he confirmed he worked with open enrollment applications for several years. He also stated he did not specifically remember an open enrollment application for Mr. Burt's children. When asked if he had any conversations with Mr. Burt, the individual stated "I know Kerry Burt and I did not have any conversations with him."
We verified with representatives of the Waterloo School District an open enrollment application had not been filed for Mr. Burt's children and the children were not approved for open enrollment. As a result, the children were not eligible to attend the School prior to the 2007/2008 academic year. In addition, for the 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 academic years, the family should have tuitioned-in in order for the children to attend the School
Mr. Burt stated on the same day he applied for open enrollment from the Waterloo Community School District, he went to the School to discuss with administrators how he would be able to have his oldest child attend the School. Mr. Burt's oldest child has attended the School since the 2001/2002 academic year.
According to Mr. Burt, he talked to Mr. Smith with a secretary present. Mr. Burt stated Mr. Smith pointed to the enrollment/registration form and told him "you need an address in the Zone for your son to attend Price Lab School". During the 2001/2002 academic year, Mr. Smith was the High School Principal, not the Director. It is unclear why Mr. Smith would have assisted Mr. Burt in completing the application forms for his son. In addition, when we met with Mr. Smith on April 1, 2009, he stated he "didn't know anything about Kerry Burt." It was not readily apparent what Mr. Smith was referring to because he had not been asked about the fees paid by Mr. Burt or any other parents.
When asked if someone at the School had provided him the address to put on the form, Mr. Burt responded, "No, but Mr. Smith and several other staff knew my niece lived at the 1815 Franklin Street and no one questioned it". Mr. Burt went on to state Mr. Smith knew he had a Waterloo address. Mr. Burt also stated he was not aware of the tuition-in registration rate until recently. When we spoke with a former School employee, she recalled a remark made by Mr. Burt during the registration process one year. According to the former employee, Mr. Burt stated "I guess I have to keep using this address because you haven't lowered the tuition yet." This statement conflicts with Mr. Burt's statement he was unaware of the higher tuition-in registration rate until recently.
When asked about his meeting with Mr. Cryer, Mr. Burt stated he did not recall admitting he falsified the enrollment forms/registrations. He also stated he was in paying lunch fees and decided to meet with Mr. Cryer. Mr. Burt also stated he met with President Allen at a Legislative breakfast regarding recent legislation he was working on or had worked on as a Representative in the Iowa Legislature. Mr. Burt stated the investigation was brought up during the meeting and he told President Allen his address may be one of the addresses questioned.
Because the Burt students lived outside the Zone and did not have approval for open enrollment, the Burt family should have tuitioned-in and been charged the higher fee. As illustrated by Exhibit A, the proper registration fees for Mr. Burt's children for the 2003/2004 through 2008/2009 academic years total $41,142.00. As a result of the incorrect address used for the children, only $4,003.00 was actually charged to the family. The difference of $37,139.00 is included in Table 3.

Jess Vandermire, Vampire Hunter...
Tough vampire cop, Jess Vandermire, fights against her unholy brethren in New York City to protect the two men she loves more than life itself. But Jess is waging a personal war, too—to save the tiny shred of soul she has left. If she loses, so does the city...
New York City is in the grasp of a deadly, unseen enemy. But Lieutenant Jess Vandermire, New York City police officer, is uniquely specialized to recognize and fight this threat. It's her job to forge a black ops team—a team that is tough and, if need be, expendable. Jess understands what she's fighting and what's at stake. For her, it's all about retribution… until she recruits ex-cop John Brittain...
Suddenly, her priorities aren't quite so easily definable. John Brittain has a chip on his shoulder and is as strong as they come. But is he ready for the whole truth? That combating "super" vampires whose primal need for blood and the addictive drug "Sunshine" is only the beginning of their problems?
Because Jess has a secret. And when John finds out, will he stay and fight with her? Or will he realize that she's the enemy, too?

Rooney Mara's Oscar nomination bodes well for Steelers' Super Bowl 50 quest
Rooney Mara is the early betting favorite to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in "Carol," a feat that presumably would make her the first great-granddaughter of the founders of two NFL franchises to win an acting Oscar.
But her recent nomination alone bodes well for the Steelers, founded by her maternal great-grandfather, Art Rooney Sr. Thus far every time she has been nominated for an Oscar, one of her family's teams has won the Super Bowl.
The last time, as Best Actress for the 2011 film "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," the Giants of her paternal great-grandfather Tim Mara won it all.
That winter, the Giants and Ms. Mara faced similarly formidable opponents. The Giants upset theirs, defeating the Patriots, 21-17, to win Super Bowl XLVI.
Mara later lost to the Academy Awards' version of the Patriots: Meryl Streep.
The Steelers' Super Bowl 50 quest got tougher on Friday, though, when the team ruled top receiver Antonio Brown out for Sunday's NFL divisional playoff game against Denver.

Last Thursday night I met the director for the first time, discovered who I was playing in the first 25% of the gospel, and rehearsed hard, knackering my ankle in the process.
Last Friday night those of us who were not Jesus, Peter, Andrew, James, John or Pharisee discovered who we were playing in the next 25% of the gospel. Another solid 3 hours of rehearsing…
Last Saturday morning we got our parts for the second half of the drama and worked for another 3 hours. Last Saturday afternoon we ran the whole thing, which encouraged us in the face of slight ropeiness earlier in the day.
Last Saturday evening the massed ranks arrived for the first performance. 90 minutes later it was all over, bar the tea, coffee, biscuits and mingling. Second show on Sunday night after church. Perhaps 500 people in total came to see it.
Theatre in the round was fairly new to me, especially with such a small 'stage' in the middle – only big enough for 15 people to stand crammed next to each other in a huddle. Semi-improvisation is quite a scary way to go for te untrained, but that worked well. We got enough direction from Andrew Page and assistant Chris White where it was needed, and enough room to manouevre where appropriate.
The drama itself, based on the greatest story ever told, was very powerful. There was a lot of enthusiasm from the cast, and the rawness of amateurs on minimum rehearsal was usually a virtue. Some of the scenes were uproariously funny, and some were pin-droppingly tense. God was very good to us and helped almost everyone remember almost all of their lines. [On Sunday there was the added drama of a faint elderly gentleman who needed to be carried out after an hour. He was heavy! Although the tension was somewhat broken, we resumed after 10 minutes without a hitch.]
Audience feedback from Christians and non-Christians was overwhelmingly positive. Praise the Lord, this drama seems to have opened eyes to aspects of the truth that conversation and reading have not yet revealed to various friends and family members of the cast.
Last but not least, the experience of intense team work in drama was wonderful (or should that be wonderful, darling…?) This was something I missed out on as an undergraduate, despite having quite a few thesp friends so am grateful to have tasted it in near middle age. The post-play mood droop was significant, but survivable. I really hope this becomes an annual event and even more churches get involved. This kind of creative inter-church collaboration is just what we need to adorn the gospel of Christ

I'm a new member. I'm 73. I'm 5'11", about 175#, and generally in decent health all things considered. I was diagnosed in 1992 as type 2 and I've gone through the usual regimen of diet, exercise (not enough, I know!), all the usual meds, etc. I started insulin injections about 15 years ago. I started using a Medtronic pump about 5 years ago. My A1c is usually between 7 and 8. My doctor is entirely satisfied calling me a type 1 now. I guess the terminology has evolved, so that type 1 no longer means exclusively "since a young age", but also apparently means anyone whose pancreas does not produce any insulin whether or not it ever did in the past.
My biggest challenge has long been that my blood glucose bounces around like a ping pong ball in a tornado! Hardly a day goes by that I am not over 200 and under 70 at least once in any 24 hour period! Of course my doctor knows this, and of course he has no solution except to measure at least 8 times a day, as well as any other times when I feel a low coming on.
I have thought for some time now that my constant fluctuations and wide range of BG make me a prime candidate for a CGM. Especially the fact that often when I measure and find, say, that I'm at 74, and I have a snack, I feel like measuring again about half an hour later, after the snack, and by that time my 74 has dropped to 61! At that point I'm not even supposed to bolus for the snack! Which means I'll be off the charts high in an hour! That happened last night just before bed, and it was "deja vu all over again" because that's what happens to me all the time! Up down up down and most of the time the finger stick measurement lags what's really going on by about 15 minutes and never tells me if I'm headed up or down! So I'm thinking seriously about going on a CGM.
Which brings me to my questions. I am on Medicare, which at the moment won't do squat for me financially. But let's say I can afford a CGM myself. Exactly what do I get for my initial purchase? A sensor, like the canula that I insert under my skin now, for my pump; a transmitter that apparently sits on top of the sensor and sends BG readings to a display device; and either a display device or I could use my iPhone. Is that it? If this isn't right, please calibrate me!
Then, once I'm up and running, what consumables do I need? For the pump, there are reservoirs and infusion sets. What do I have to replace periodically for a CGM?
And best of all, can anyone give me some idea of the approx retail cost of the consumables and the CGM itself? Since I'm almost certainly going to be self-insured for it, I'd like some idea of about how big a hit I'll take.
And last but not least, can any users give me some insight about how you actually use it? I've heard it has to be calibrated every 12 hours? How? And are you satisfied overall with what it's doing for you?
A lot to cram into a first msg, I know, but I want answers so all I can do is ask!
Thank you, all, for any help any of you can give me!
Tom Seeley

The Great Cholesterol Myth (2013) is a book that argues against the current medical establishment view that dietary cholesterol causes heart disease, and the ways it is currently treated. Dietary guidelines include:
- Avoid sugar, soda, processed carbs, processed meats, trans fats, excess vegetable oils
- Eat more wild salmon, grass-fed meat, vegetables, nuts, beans, berries and cherries
Below is a description of the food recommendations in the book. What to eat | Foods to eliminate. There's a lot more in the book.
Get a copy of The Great Cholesterol Myth for a detailed discussion on the flaws of the current recommendations for heart disease, what the authors think of fat and statins, why they believe sugar / fructose to be the real cause of heart disease, the effects of stress, and supplementation suggestions
The reasoning behind The Great Cholesterol Myth
This book argues that the "lipid hypothesis" – that fats in the diet raise cholesterol and that causes heart disease – has never been proven and is flawed. Instead, it points to evidence that sugar, and especially fructose – "metabolic poison" – causes glycation which damages LDL cholesterol and causes inflammation which can lead to heart disease. Also, carbohydrates – especially high-glycemic processed carbs – are associated with greater progression of coronary atherosclerosis than fat.
The Great Cholesterol Myth diet plan – food list
What to eat | Foods to eliminate
The food list in the book is only partial – it indicates what to eat more of and what to eat less of.
Foods to eat more of with The Great Cholesterol Myth
- Wild salmon
- Eat wild salmon twice a week
- Berries and cherries
- Eat berries three (or more) times a week
- Grass-fed meat
- The majority of the meat we consume is feedlot-raised meat from factory farms, loaded with antibiotics, steroids, and hormones, and very high in inflammatory omega-6 fats.
- Instead, eat only grass-fed meat when you eat meat
- Vegetables (and some fruit)
- Eat low-sugar fruits in moderation – berries including blueberries, raspberries, strawberries; other fruits including apples, cherries, grapefruit, lemons, limes, oranges
- Eat vegetables instead of processed carbohydrates
- Green leafy veggies, such as spinach and swiss chard, and cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, and cauliflower are the best protectors against heart disease
- Eat 5-9 half cup servings of vegetables and fruit a day (not guidelines on how much of each, except that fruit should be in moderation)
- Nuts
- Eat 1 ounce of nuts 5 times a week – e.g. walnuts
- Presumably seeds as well – flaxseeds, chia seeds, and perilla seeds are mentioned in the book
- Beans
- Adzuki beans, red beans, red kidney beans, pinto beans, black-eyed peas, lentils, etc.
- Eat a serving of beans or lentils at least 4 times a week (one serving is ½ cup to 1 cup cooked beans)
- Dark chocolate
- Look for at least 60% cocoa (not white chocolate or milk chocolate)
- Eat 1-2 squares of dark chocolate 4-6 days a week
- Garlic
- Start cooking with garlic – no guidelines on amounts to eat
- Turmeric
- Put turmeric at the front of your spice cabinet and use it often
- Pomegranate juice
- Drink pure pomegranate juice – avoid "juice blends" and "juice cocktails" because these have much less pomegranate juice in them and much more sugar
- Put pomegranate juice in "heavy rotation" on your menu: 4-8 ounces a day, or as often as you like
- Green tea
- Drink up to 2 glasses a day, in the earlier part of the day (as it contains caffeine)
- Red wine
- If you are a drinker, have a glass of red wine with dinner. (If you're not, don't start)
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Switch to extra-virgin olive oil. Use it for salad dressing, low-heat stir fries, and sautées
- Whenever possible, use olive oil, sesame oil, or macadamia oil as alternatives to the vegetable oils listed below
- The ideal ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s in the diet is somewhere between 1:1 and 4:1
Foods to eliminate with The Great Cholesterol Myth
- Sugar
- Avoid all added sugars
- No description of what sugars should be avoided, except that fructose is the worst culprit
- Cut out fruit juices, which are loaded with sugar and only marginally better than soda
- Avoid processed carbs, most of which contain sugar, including virtually all cakes, candies, pastries, doughnuts, etc.
- Soda
- Avoid soda, which is probably the worst offender as a source of added sugars
- No guidelines on diet sodas
- Avoid energy drinks
- Processed carbs
- Avoid processed carbs – almost all carbs that come in a box with a bar code – cereals, white rice, pasta, breads, cookies, pastries, snack foods, sodas, juice drinks, crackers
- The authors don't buy into the argument that "whole grains" eliminate all the problems associated with processed carbs. They can raise blood sugar and be inflammatory for people who are gluten-sensitive. The best alternatives (if you are gluten-tolerant) are real whole grain products such as Ezekiel 4:9 breads
- Trans fats
- Avoid trans fats
- Ignore the "no trans fats!" legend on the front of the package and read the ingredients list instead – look to see if contains partially hydrogenated oil or hydrogenated oil
- The worst offenders include: nondairy "creamers," most margarines, cake mixes, ramen noodles, soup cups, virtually all packaged baked goods (E.g. Twinkies, chips, and crackers), doughnuts, many breakfast cereals, "energy" bars, cookies, and fast food
- Processed meat
- Definition – any meat preserved by curing, salting, smoking, or with the addition of chemical preservatives
- Avoid salami, sausages, hot dogs, deli meats, luncheon meats, bacon, etc.
- Excess vegetable oils
- Never use generic processed oils such as Wesson or Crisco
- Cut down on corn oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, canola oil
If you use relaxation techniques, try not to do them within a couple of hours of eating, as the digestive process seems to interfere with eliciting the relaxation response
Health benefits claimed in The Great Cholesterol Myth
The diet in this book claims to reduce the risks for: atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, heart attacks, heart disease/coronary disease, high blood sugar, hypertension/high blood pressure, insulin resistance, strokes; also to reduce inflammation and glycation which leads to faster aging
As always, this is not intended to be a replacement for professional medical diagnosis or treatment for a medical condition. Consult your doctor before starting a new diet. This page describes what the authors of the diet recommend – Chewfo is describing the diet only, not endorsing it.

There are so many things to do on a cruise ship, and not just eating because you get to visit some wonderful places, while also finding time to watch some great entertainment and also to relax. However, there are a good percentage of passengers that enjoy heading to the Casino to try and beat the house – or ship in this case.
Most of the big name cruise companies have a Casino on their ships, although there is something extra special about a Casino onboard a Celebrity cruise ship, but some of you may not know their games differ between each ship.
If you are one of those passengers that feels as though Lady Luck is on their side, then you really should try the sophisticated ambiance of a Celebrity cruise ship casino, but just remember to set yourself a budget, as you do not want to spoil your cruise.
For those of you that want to be a high roller during your cruise, then you can check out the Casino games by Celebrity cruise ship here. Each ship has a different combination of table games, slot machines and more.

This book focuses on the values, priorities, and motives of patrons and the purposes and functions of art works produced north and south of the Alps and in post-Byzantine Crete. It begins by considering the social range and character of Renaissance patronage and ends with a study of Hans Holbein the Younger and the reform of religious images in Basle and England.
Viewing Renaissance Art considers a wide range of audiences and patrons from the rulers of France to the poorest confraternities in Florence. The overriding premise is that art was not a neutral matter of stylistic taste but an aspect of material production in which values were investedwhether religious, cultural, social, or political.
Editors Woods, Carol M. Richardson, and Angeliki Lymberopoulou-all lecturers of art history at the Open University, UK-present a strong foundation for the study of Renaissance artworks produced north and south of the Alps and in post-Byzantine Crete. Throughout, they reinforce the need to understand the social landscape if one is to understand the art: both the rich and the poor of the era appreciated the significance of art objects, and a combination of sacred and secular influence prevailed. The authors detail illuminated manuscripts, the Renaissance in France, appreciation for Greek Orthodox and Byzantine art, and the significant relationship between art and death. Their progression through the time period-with a culminating chapter devoted to Hans Holbein the Younger and the reform of religious art-flows logically, highlighting important points of focus. The sound text and fine photo reproductions (200 color) are contained in a seemingly durable paperback format, which reduces the price for students. A fine addition to public libraries and libraries specializing in art history, especially when combined with Making Renaissance Art, also edited by Woods, and Locating Renaissance Art, edited by Carol M. Richardson, the other two books in this series.

Executive Summary
Idaho's infrastructure has an ever increasing need for improvement. This is the main conclusion of the 2012 Report Card for Idaho's Infrastructure, developed by the Southern Idaho Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Though many of the infrastructure categories showed areas of satisfactory performance, the vast majority indicated that Idaho's infrastructure lacks funding, is not properly maintained, and is poorly equipped to deal with its increasing demands as Idaho continues to grow.
Infrastructure is a part of our daily lives. Too often we take it for granted, even though in a typical day, most of us use or are impacted by each of the 11 infrastructure categories we assessed. Before you even leave the house, you will turn on a light, which works because of energy infrastructure; take a shower using water and wastewater infrastructure; eat a piece of toast, made with wheat grown using dam infrastructure and transported on roads and across bridges or possibly rail infrastructure; perhaps you'll open a bill, mailed to your house using aviation infrastructure. After breakfast you might watch your kids leave for school, and then take public transit to work. We expect infrastructure to work efficiently and when it doesn't, we may no longer take it for granted.
ASCE's mission is to provide essential value to our members and partners, advance civil engineering, and serve the public good. In carrying out that mission, ASCE advocates infrastructure and environmental stewardship and has developed a national Report Card for American's Infrastructure since 1995. The most current National Report Card, published in 2009, indicated an overall grade of "D." The Southern Idaho Section of ASCE serves more than 500 members, and we are joining over 30 other states and regions that have developed Report Cards to complement the National Report Card.
As civil engineers in the state of Idaho, we have a responsibility to safeguard the life, health, property, and welfare of the public. We believe it is part of this responsibility to provide the public, including our elected leaders, with critical information about the current state of our infrastructure, which is the main goal of this Report Card. Our hope is that with this knowledge, the public will increase support for infrastructure improvement and maintenance and urge elected leaders to take action to prioritize funding so that our vital infrastructure meets the current and future needs of Idaho citizens.
Volunteers from public agencies, private firms, and non-profit groups have contributed to this effort. Of these, more than 25 civil engineering experts have compiled issue briefs for 11 different infrastructure categories over the last 18 months. Peer reviews were then performed, often by a subject matter expert that had no prior involvement with the Report Card. The collaboration of public, private, and non-profit volunteers, along with the peer review process, resulted in this comprehensive assessment of Idaho's infrastructure.

Non-Profit Assists Local Governments in Redevelopment Efforts
December 1, 2016
Do you have an abandoned gas station in your community and want to clean up the property? With the help of the recently formed Ohio UST Community Improvement Corporation (Ohio UST CIC) and a new program from the Ohio Development Services Agency, Central Ohio's local communities now have needed help and resources to repurpose abandoned gas station sites.
Abandoned gas stations are found at key intersections, in downtown commercial centers, and adjacent to operating businesses throughout Ohio. The goal of Ohio UST CIC is to partner with communities to clean up the site and return it and surrounding properties to productive use. They specialize in determining which development path, such as a county foreclosure or property donation, promotes the most beneficial reuse of the property while shielding the parties from potential environmental liability.
"A vital component of our future development relies on a healthy and sustainable environment for our local governments, residents, and businesses," said MORPC Executive Director, William Murdock. "MORPC has long supported the remediation and redevelopment of brownfields and other contaminated sites to create economic benefits and opportunities for local governments and communities throughout Central Ohio."
The Ohio Development Services Agency, in partnership with Ohio EPA, and the Department of Commerce, and BUSTR run the Abandoned Gas Station Cleanup Grant. The grant provides funding to assess and clean up abandoned gas and service stations throughout Ohio. Local government entities who own the eligible property or who have an agreement with the landowner may apply. The applicant and property owner cannot have contributed to the prior release of petroleum or other hazardous substance on the site.
For more information on the services that Ohio UST CIC provides, please visit here.

Additional usb ports
Can you add usb ports via an internal "splitter cable" rather than internal/external usb hubs to a PC/Motherboard ?
My board has two additional usb slots/ports on the board. I know there are external/internal multiple port available...but is there an internal "splitter" where I can take my 2 on-board ports and slit one into 2-4 additional cables ports (still inside the box) and then run the 4 internally split connectors/ports (off one on-board port) to regular internal front or rear bay hubs ?
So...if I have one on-board port spit internally into 2-4...can I then add 2 available bay slots of up to 4 ports each...rather than limited to one 4 port internal front/bay hub if i do not split the on board port ?
Hope I am clear on this...TR

There are several ways to add USB to a PC, add on cards internally in an available slot, there are 4 in 1 splitter adapters available making 1 USB port into 4 USB ports, there are dedicated powered USB hubs giving 2-7 USB port depending on the configuration and non powered ones as well but you need to know how much power your USB ports utilize to make an educated decision on which is your best course.

How Television Will Shape The New Gun Culture In America
Weapons are being fired all the time on television, but that happens on cop shows. Network programmers know the public will obsessively watch guns going off and bodies falling.
On the news, however, the issue of gun ownership is adjudicated independently of the glee that accompanies watching fictional people kill each other.
When it's fantasy, the audience wants violence. When it's real, the audience wants no violence.
Dealing with this schizoid condition would be a problem for the networks, were it not for the fact that there is a bridge between the two states of mind: "The good guys win."
They win in every episode of every cop show. They always have. Decades of this operant conditioning lead the audience to expect it will happen in real life where crime, guns and cops are involved.

Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Phase II Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the Trifunctional Antibody Catumaxomab (Anti-EpCAM x Anti-CD3) Administered Intraperitoneally in Ovarian Cancer Patients With Recurrent Symptomatic Malignant Ascites
- The Proportion of Patients Who Achieved at Least a 4-fold Increase of Puncture/Paracentesis-free Interval Following Catumaxomab Relative to Their Pre-treatment Interval. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The parameter to be estimated is the proportion of patients who achieve at least a 4-fold increase in their puncture/paracentesis-free interval. The pretreatment interval is defined as the length of time between the patient's most recent paracentesis (baseline) and the subsequent paracentesis necessitated by her increasing ascites-related symptoms. The post-treatment interval is defined as the time between the last dose of catumaxomab plus 1 day to the time of recurrence of ascites requiring therapeutic paracentesis or death, whichever occurred sooner.
- Increase of Paracentesis/Puncture-free Interval (Ratio) [ Time Frame: 180 days ]The parameter to be tested is the ratio of the post-treatment puncture/paracentesis-free interval divided by the pre-treatment puncture/paracentesis-free interval. The pre-treatment interval is defined as the length of time between the patient`s most recent paracentesis (baseline) and the subsequent paracentesis necessitated by her increasing ascites-related symptoms. The post-treatment interval is defined as the time between the last dose of catumaxomab plus 1 day to the time of recurrence of ascites requiring therapeutic paracentesis or death, whichever occurred sooner.
- Puncture/Paracentesis-free Survival (PuFS) [ Time Frame: ≥6 months ]Puncture/Paracentesis-free Survival (PuFS), Defined as the Number of Days Between the Date of Last Dose and the Date of Documented End of Study (EoS) Paracentesis or Death, Whichever Occurred First
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: ≥ 6 months ]Overall survival is defined as the interval from the date of first dose to the date of death.
- Ascites Signs and Symptoms [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Patient-reported ascites symptoms were to be assessed using the patient questionnaire, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Ascites Index (FACIT-AI). At 6 months following catumaxomab administration, the patient was requested to assess the severity of the following parameters during the past week using a 5-point scale with scores from "0 = not at all" to "4 = very much": anorexia, insomnia, decreased mobility, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal distention, fatigue, early satiety, urinary frequency, constipation, and emotional distress. For the parameters anorexia, insomnia, and decreased mobility, high scores mean good response, for the other parameters low scores mean good response.
- Ascites Volume [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Ascites volume measurement were to be performed at screening (= prior to baseline), at baseline (= before start of therapy with catumaxomab) and during the 6-month follow-up period when the patient had recurrence of symptomatic ascites requiring therapeutic paracentesis. At each paracentesis, drainage to dryness was to be achieved and the exact volume was to be measured and documented.
|Study Start Date:
|June 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|August 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|December 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: Catumaxomab
Drug: catumaxomab
Catumaxomab is administered intraperitoneally via an indwelling catheter (or port) as a 3-hour infusion 4 times (Days 0, 3, 7, and 10) in ascending doses (10 mcg, 20 mcg, 50 mcg, and 150 mcg, respectively).
Detailed Description:
A multi-center, phase II study of catumaxomab in ovarian cancer patients with recurrent symptomatic malignant ascites requiring therapeutic paracentesis. Each eligible patient will receive four ascending doses of catumaxomab, administered intraperitoneally via an indwelling catheter. Catumaxomab will be administered as a 3-hour constant rate infusion with a dosing interval of 3-4 days. Each patient will participate in this study for up to 7 months (includes the baseline therapeutic paracentesis and screening period, 11 to 21 days treatment period, and up to 180 days/6 months follow-up), with monthly post-study follow-up for the lifetime of the patient.
Catumaxomab is a trifunctional antibody targeting EpCAM on tumor cells and CD3 on T cells. Trifunctional antibodies represent a new concept for targeted anticancer therapy. This new antibody class has the capability to redirect T cells and accessory cells (e.g. macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer (NK) cells) to the tumor site. According to preclinical data, trifunctional antibodies activate these different immune effector cells, which can trigger a complex anti-tumor immune response.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Two of Canada's biggest labor unions are discussing a merger, Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) National President Ken Lewenza said in an interview on Friday.
Lewenza said the CAW is considering a tie-up with the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP), though talks are "very preliminary".
"The bottom line is, what's in the interest of our combined membership, and what's in the interest of the labor movement? If we've got some common objectives, we can make it happen," he said.
Lewenza said the unions' top leaders and executive boards have held discussions and that talks started in earnest three to four months ago.
The CAW split from the U.S. United Auto Workers in the 1980s, and now has 195,000 members in sectors as diverse as aerospace, postsecondary education and retail.
As well as Canadian employees at the three Detroit automakers, it represents workers at Air Canada, and both Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd and Canadian National Railway Co.
The CEP dominates media, forestry, energy and telecommunications, and has a number of bargaining units at BCE Inc, Canada's biggest telecoms company. According to its website, CEP has 130,000 members.

I'll be in London this summer and am getting my (roast) ducks in a row early: can anyone recommend places to eat either around Paddington (staying at the Hilton) or near the Globe Theatre (going to a play on a Friday night)?
I am a lady boomer traveling solo and do not care for most kinds of the ethnic food found in London. English, Italian, Chinese, steak, all fine. Any ideas?

One of my favorite ways to spend a holiday celebrating family is to cook together. Trying a new recipe that's hands on and takes a bit of prep work isn't something I always opt to dive into, but when you're with a big group it's relaxing, enjoyable, and pays off in the end. Especially if butter and sage gnocchi is involved (quite a revelation to know how easy it is to make!). When I was growing up, we would always celebrate Mother's Day with a big meal (a la dad), so I'm planning on carrying that tradition but changing up the cook in the kitchen (yours truly). I wanted to try something completely new, so those damn delicious potato dumplings are what I dreamt up.
I teamed up with All Clad in the spirit of Mother's Day and the launch of their new product, Prep & Cook food processor, to share with you this easy summer gnocchi skillet recipe. Hopefully it inspires you to make something delicious with mom this year. So, first of all, this processor is a blessing to your kitchen counter. I love how much it can do– it replaces most of your kitchen electric gadgets, such as a food processor, steamer, stand mixer, etc. I don't have a ton of storage in our little SF kitchen, so this has been great. I used it to mix our gnocchi dough and dice up the parmagiano-reggiano cheese!
Another plus is that the Prep & Cook comes with multiple attachments and has a plethora of cooking capabilities: minces, mixes, cooks, simmers, emulsifies, blends, kneads, steams and so on. If your mom loves spending time in the kitchen, this would also be the most amazing gift.
So before you get tied into an apron and start prepping, be sure to pop open a bottle of champagne, turn on this Dinner Party playlist, and get ready for a party in your mouth. This is such a simple recipe, and it is so good!
serves 2 to 4 total time: 45 minutes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 sweet onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 to 3/4 cup half and half
1/2 cup freshly grated parmagiano-reggiano cheese, plus more for topping
3 ears of grilled corn
1 pound mini gnocchi, cooked (we got our recipe here)
fresh basil and oregano for garnish
Make the gnocchi first so they are ready to go, the rest of the meal prep is super easy!
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil + butter. Once the butter has melted, add the onion and stir. Cook until softened (6 to 8 minutes). Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. Season the mixture with the salt and the pepper.
Increase the heat to medium. Slowly stream in the half and half, stirring the entire time, scraping any flavor bits from the bottom. I start with about 1/2 cup but add a little more as I go if needed. Stir in the parmesan cheese. Taste and season additionally if desired. Toss in the grilled corn and gnocchi, stirring to coat. Add a bit more cheese on top, along with the basil and oregano.
Thank you All-Clad for collaborating on this post!
ahhh this looks delicious, such a great idea! also, your photography is absolutely beautiful! xx
Gnocchi is so easy! I love with sage and butter too, so good!
Would you share another recipe soon? Love trying yours!

How to Pack
Airport security screening procedures are stringent, so be aware of the following:
Pack efficiently, placing smaller items together in a pouch or bag. Put personal hygiene items in clear plastic bags in case security officers need to handle them.
- Pack your shoes last so they are easily accessible for inspection.
- Do not pack food in your checked luggage. Something as innocent as chocolate or cheese can look like explosives when viewed on an airport scanner.
- Make sure that each suitcase has a name tag securely affixed to it.
- You will need a current passport to be able to check in.
- The FAA allows checked baggage to be locked with approved locks (found at travel stores). If you have locks that are not approved, you run the risk of the locks being broken when your baggage is inspected.
- If you are using an E-ticket for your connecting flight, bring E-ticket confirmation forms to the airport.
Airport Etiquette
Passengers are encouraged to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before scheduled departure for domestic flights, and at least 2.5 hours before international flights.
- Leave no vehicle or baggage unattended.
- E-ticket and paper ticket customers with luggage to check may proceed to the ticket counter. Hold onto your baggage receipts (keep them with your ticket) for verification at your destination. Curbside checking is available at many airports.
- Check your luggage all the way through to the final destination airport listed on your ticket.
Access beyond security is restricted to passengers and employees only.
- Have ticket paperwork available, along with your passport. Prepare to empty pockets of coins, metals, etc.
- Expect increased passenger and baggage security screening. Wand checks and full-body hand searches can be expected, and people are often asked to remove their shoes so they can be put through the scanner.
Lost Luggage
Go to the designated counter in the baggage area and complete the necessary forms. You will need the address and phone number of the pilgrim hotel where you are staying so late bags can be delivered (this information is available on the inside front page of your Pilgrim's Itinerary Booklet that you will receive in the Final Correspondence packet).

Proud to be an Australian? Then watch this video ...
Those of you who are regulars to our site know that we do not put video on our front page. We tend to write articles and reinforce our subject matter with relevant video. However, I received an email from a concerned Australian today ... featuring the following video. Having watched it, I had no hesitation placing it on the front page for you to see too. Please watch it all.
We, as Australian Christians (with few exceptions), have been far too silent about abortion in our country. The fact that a dominant State in Australia (Victoria) has passed this law should not mean that we lay down and do nothing. Far from it!
We need to demand from our lawmakers that abortion is not acceptable in our land. Not now ... not ever. If a representative of the people cannot defend the rights of the unborn, then they are not fit to hold public office - regardless of their party.

"CHRISTIAN FAITH" strongly recommends the inexpensive booklet by Peter Barnes called 'ABORTION'; available for just $4.95 HERE.
Check out Melissa Ohden's website HERE.
Below are just two of the sections taken from the below Website regarding Abortion, as a statement of how you and I ought to think!
Abortion ! ONE OF THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF SURGERY?? Yes read on and visit the Governments Better Health Website, please!
And perhaps we could listen again to the two women speaking on Video. Thank God for them.
If like me, you are NOT horrified at the statistics, and statements, I would be most surprised!
We don't need to call ourselves Australian and be proud!!! We need to ask the harder question are we human and will we do nothing about this Legally grose Governmental Dictatorship!
Oh yes! The cry still can be heard, but not from the unheard screams of the dying children!
"If we Legalise it, we can control it! Less people will suffer! And now now Col, there are some situations!!!"
Please friends, if nothing else, Listen to the silent screams!
(Below is taken from the Government Better Health Site )
Things to remember
- Abortion is one of the most common types of surgery performed in Australia.
- Medical (non-surgical) options include the drug mifepristone, also known as RU486 or 'the abortion pill'.
- A number of studies show that most Australians support the idea of safe and legal abortions.
- A woman seeking abortion is most likely to be aged in her 20s, single, childless, well educated and employed.
- Abortion is legal in Victoria.
- Most abortion service providers are located in Melbourne.
- Costs vary from one clinic to the next.
- Abortion services exist in some rural areas, and options should be discussed with your referring doctor.
Australia's Shame !!! Legal Abortion!! The Mother's Grief !
To add insight into the ongoing tradgedy for many of the Mothers of aborted children, please do them the honour of reading their brave statements.
If you are a woman , you are valued by us ,especially if you are contemplating the difficult, heartrenching decision yourself, in having your pregnancy continue, or brought to a close.
It can be a very lonely time! May you find, as well as be given, by God and his people surrounding you, the strength of womanhood and of Motherhood to live as you believe,I pray and speak with you now. For now, please be compassionate to yourself!
If it's not too difficult, please visit with these wonderful, valued women below.
Thank you
A grieving place for mothers of aborted babies.

"Miller's Crossing is an exciting score that
represents some of Carter Burwell's best work to date. At times
romantic, other times jazzy, and for the most part passionate this
score is great addition to any score collection, regardless of
whether one is familiar with Burwell's work or not..." - Roderick
Scott, Cinemusic.net.
When the Coens first showed me the rough cut of
Miller's Crossing without any music, it was a chilling, violent
experience. I suggested to them that perhaps it wanted a "warm" score.
Their reaction was "Well, I don't know..." "You're
thinking cold?" Their response: "How about neutral?"
Soon after the film has begun, Gabriel Byrne's
character betrays his boss, Albert Finney. His motivations are
hidden behind a handsome face of steel. I wanted to suggest with
the music that his actual motivation was his love for Finney, and
I proposed doing this with a sappy Irish melody arranged for orchestra.
From David Morgan's interview with Carter Burwell in Knowing
The Score:
CB: Miller's Crossing was the first orchestral
score I did. No one other than the Coen Brothers would've hired
me to do an orchestral score knowing that I knew nothing about
orchestral music.
From the time we read the script together, before
they even shot it, we all agreed it would be nice to use
a big orchestra. We didn't know what a really big orchestra was,
but something that sounds like one - big than a banjo!
So while they were shooting I was learning about orchestration
and how the whole thing works. It was really fun. I had an
excess of time, three months, to write the score, which is a lot
more than I usually get. And also, uniquely, they had money left
over after the shoot - they'd actually come in under budget on
the movie - so we could afford a large orchestra and could do everything
we wanted to do. So it was a great experience. I love whenever
this business gives you an opportunity to do something new.
The point of having a large orchestra was to get
a big, lush, traditional sound befitting the period and mind-set
of the characters. The music had to fit a visual environment that
was rich and maybe a little ostentatious - at least an Irish gangster's idea of
ostentation - big and sentimental and lush.
DM: And "Danny Boy" playing on the
record player under the attempted assassination of Albert Finney's
mob boss was obviously an Irish gangster's idea of relaxing mood
CB: Well, it's actually a little too obvious,
yes! The Coens knew something had to be playing on Finney's record
player when the assassins arrive and they stuck in "Danny
Boy" assuming we'd ultimately find something else because
it was just too obvious. And wouldn't it be nice if we found another
Irish piece that people weren't as familiar with? But they cut
the scene to "Danny Boy" and after trying lots of different
traditional pieces there, nothing was really quite as good.
Ethan looked up the singer of our version of "Danny
Boy", Frank Patterson, and asked if he would be interested
in performing the song to our scene. Frank was very interested;
he said "This film will introduce the song to a whole new
audience!" He didn't seem at all off-put by the actual content
of the scene, some guy getting his head blown off! He was very
excited by it.
Larry Wilcox did the arrangement and we recorded
it in this extremely old-fashioned approach. Frank would watch
the film with us, and Joel and Ethan would say, "Now if you
could hit the word 'bend' here and hold it until the car explodes..." He
memorized the visual cues, sang while watching the film, the conductor
followed Frank, and the orchestra followed the conductor. I think
Frank got it in two takes. It was kind of amazing.
