DEATHS: Victor Borge, 91
Comedian and pianist Victor Borge died in his sleep from heart failure, Reuters reports. He was 91.
Borge had recently returned to his Greenwich, Conn., home from a concert in Copenhagen when he went to sleep Saturday evening and never woke up. He would have turned 92 on Jan. 3.
Borge made a career of falling off his piano, missing keys with his hands and getting tangled up in his sheet music.
"Playing music and making jokes are as natural to me as breathing," Borge told Reuters after his Copenhagen concert. "That's why I've never thought of retiring because I do it all the time whether on the stage or off. I found that in a precarious situation, a smile is the shortest distance between people. When one needs to reach out for sympathy or a link with people, what better way is there?"
BILLY BARTY, 76: "Little actor" Billy Barty, whose career spanned more than 70 years, died Saturday of heart failure, The Associated Press reports. He was 76.
Before his death, Barty had been hospitalized in Glendale, Calif., for heart problems and a lung infection.
Barty's career began at age 3 when he appeared in his first Hollywood feature in 1927. He later went on to perform for radio, TV and Broadway. His film credits include "Day of the Locust" (1975), "Foul Play" (1978), "Under the Rainbow" (1981) and "Willow" (1988).
He also had his own children's TV show "Billy Barty's Big Show" and most recently made an appearance on NBC's "Frasier."
PAULINE CURLEY, 97: Silent-screen actress Pauline Curley, who appeared in more than 40 films, has died of pneumonia, AP reports. She was 97.
Curley, who died Dec. 16 at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, Calif., starred opposite Douglas Fairbanks in "Bound in Morocco" (1918). She also appeared in a number of silent Westerns in the 1910s and '20s. She's best known for her role as Princess Irena in 1917's "The Fall of the Romanoffs."
RUDI GASSNER, 58: Newly appointed CEO of BMG Entertainment Rudi Gassner died Saturday of an apparent heart attack, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 58.
Gassner, who was appointed to the post a month ago, was on vacation at a ski resort in Samerberg, Germany, when he died.
Gassner's death leaves in question who will run the word's largest music group, which is home to Arista, RCA and Ariola record labels and artists such as Santana, Christina Aguilera, Puff Daddy, Whitney Houston and the Dave Matthews Band.
Out of respect to Gassner's family, company execs said that they will hold off on announcing his successor until the new year.

ROBUST economic growth and higher tax revenues slashed the German budget deficit to nearly three times less than originally forecast, the finance ministry said overnight.
The Federal gGovernment's deficit tumbled to 17.3 billion euros ($22.2 billion), compared with the 48.4 billion euros it had initially expected, according to official figures.
Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble had said during the course of the year that it could hit 30 billion euros while his ministry just weeks ago corrected the figure down to around 20 billion euros.
The German Government overnight cited the strength of Europe's top economy and the labour market in particular as highly auspicious factors for the country's fiscal health.
The 2011 budget shows "that budgetary consolidation and growth are twin siblings who get on extremely well together," a top finance ministry official, Steffen Kampeter, told reporters.
Germany's public deficit fell to just 1.0 percent of gross domestic product last year, the federal statistics office announced yesterday, after hitting 4.3 percent in 2010, bringing it back below the 3.0-percent ceiling set by the EU.
Berlin had pledged to bring its deficit below that limit in 2013 and the figures underlined the widening gulf between Germany's prospects and those of the crisis-wracked members of the 17-country eurozone.
However Kampeter said Germany's outlook for 2012 was cloudier due to diminished economic growth projections, with the budget deficit expected to reach 26.1 billion euros.
Official data released yesterday showed that the German economy grew by 3.0 percent in 2011 but the eurozone debt crisis brought it almost to a halt in the final months of the year.

Setting a Value on Stock Options
May 9, 2002
Should corporations be required to count options granted to employees as an expense in their financial reports? That's a hot topic in the post-Enron accounting universe.
After all, options certainly dilute the value of stocks, since they enlarge the claim on a corporation's earnings. The problem, however, is to place a value on the option.
Once reserved for only a handful of corporate top executives, they are now handed out as compensation to many lower level employees and are thought to have amounted to more than $100 billion as of 2000.
Some reforms concerning options are being debated. Here are some of the suggestions:
- Much of the problem would vanish if people paid attention to diluted earnings per share rather than basic earnings per share.
- Companies should be required to report not only options grants, but also all transactions involving their own stock.
- Companies should be required to report within a day or two all insider trades, including option exercises -- not 25 days later, the current average.
Such moves would certainly be reasonable and simple changes, some economists contend.

Hello Lovelies!
These whimsical pastel nails are by kristina.nails! We love this creamy pastel look, but you could also mix it up with a bolder color combo! To start off, paint your nails a pastel lavender, Kristina used NCLA Downtown Dollface, but you could also use:
- Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau: A frosty mint robin's egg blue
- Model's Own Apple Pie: Apple Pie is a minty apple green, and it's also apple pie scented!
After your base polish dries, using the bottle brush, paint a stripe vertically down the center of the nail, it doesn't have to be perfect! Here are some lovely lavender polishes you could use for the stripe:
- Model's Own Blueberry Muffin: Blueberry Muffin is another scented polish, and it's a pretty pastel lavender creme.
- NCLA As If!: As If! is a super pale lilac purple creme polish.
- Color Club Holy Chic!: And finally, Holy Chic! is a pastel periwinkle blue creme polish, and don't forget that you can click on each of the polish names to learn more about each one!
After you've painted the stripe down the middle of your nail, cut some striping tape to fit your nail, line it up along the edges of your stripe, and lightly press it down to stick it on tight. Finish with your favorite top coat, and voila! You're done!

TRUCKMAKERS: GM & Ford * USA: Shifting plants from cars to trucks
* New York - Low gasoline prices have driven up demand for pickups and SUVs
--- U.S. auto makers, responding to weaker demand for sedans and other passenger cars amid low gasoline prices, are rebalancing production at U.S. factories in favor of building more sport-utility vehicles and trucks. General Motors Co. on Tuesday said it plans to add 650 hourly workers in Tennessee at a plant making the GMC Acadia and the Cadillac XT5, two midsize SUVs. Idled for three years after the auto maker's 2009 bankruptcy, the Spring Hill, Tenn., factory is playing an increasingly important role in GM's U.S. operations. The job additions come a day after Ford Motor Co. idled a Mustang factory outside Detroit for a week to prevent inventories stacking up on dealer lots. Mustang sales fell 32% in September, helping drag Ford's overall U.S. volumes down for the month... The moves come as sales of light trucks, including SUVs and pickups, now represent about 60% of total vehicle sales in the U.S. market. Motivated by continuing low gasoline prices, buyers are opting for heavier vehicles that offer more functionality and typically deliver richer margins for auto makers...
(Photo Reuters, by Rebecca Cook - The frame of a 2015 Ford Mustang vehicle moved down the production line at the Ford Motor Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan last year. The plant will be idled for a week as demand for the car is down) -- NY, USA - The WSJ, by MIKE COLIAS - Oct. 11, 2016

A new approach to recycling greenhouse gases
Irvine CA (SPX) Jan 10, 2017

By Joe Haggerty
EDMONTON For quite a while, there was a lot of hype surrounding Sunday, February 26 once Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin went 1-2 in the NHL draft.
The Boston Bruins would be traveling to Edmonton, and the thinking was that both players might be ready to put on a show by this point in their rookie years.
Well, as it often does, the hype didnt measure up in living color for either of the rookies.
Hall is having a solid first season, getting plenty of ice time with the downtrodden Oilers and receiving ample room to make first-year mistakes without any worry of consequences or potential benching.
Seguin, on the other hand, has been a part of a well-established veteran group making a push for the playoffs and his education has been slow and gradual, with advances and regressions mixed in with some explosion of talent.
Some are viewing Hall as more successful than Seguin based solely on the numbers, but thats foolhardy given the differences in their situations.
Hes been good, Bruins coach Claude Julien said of Seguin. I think those comparisons are just a lot of bull . . . I think if Tyler is here in Edmonton hed get as much as ice time as Taylor is now, and it would be different . . . .
Hall has also been in World Juniors and has been a part of a couple of Memorial Cups, and he has a bit more experience in that. I always like to give guys four or five years to really get their feet wet, and find out which way they go.
Sunday's game was an exercise in frustration for Hall, who was pounded by the rough Bruins defense and held without a shot in 19:52 of ice time while getting saddled with a minus-2 and a pair of giveaways with the puck.
At one point Hall got so flustered by the rough treatment that he tried to deck both Steve Kampfer and Dennis Seidenberg before getting called for an elbowing penalty.
They're big, they're fast and they work hard. More than anything, I think, it's their work ethic and their speed, said Hall. This whole year is about learning and there's a lot to learn about how to play against big, hardworking guys like that.
Seguin managed a pair of shots on net and a blocked shot that had him limping around the Bs dressing room after the game, and also finished with a minus-1 in 9:32 of action.
As has been the case on most nights this season, Seguins team came out on top while Halls team was left looking for a chance to redeem themselves the next time out.
I thought we were able to stay consistent through a full 60 minutes," Seguin said. "They stayed in there, they had their chances, but we were able to pull through.
Its a lot different now. Were NHL teams trying to win a game where last year we were with the Plymouth Whalers and Windsor Spitfires chasing each other for a Memorial Cup and a junior hockey scoring title.
Perhaps next season when the Oilers and Bruins meet up again, the hype and the reality of Hall and Seguin will make it much more appropriate one-on-one battle.
Both Rich Peverley and Chris Kelly notched their first points as members of the Bruins, with Peverley scoring a goal in front of the Edmonton net after receiving a deft pass from Michael Ryder in the slot area. Peverley said it was nice to get the first goal out of the way with the Bruins, and that chemistry is building with each game.
"Each game it just gets better offensively, said Peverley. We know where each of us is going to be on the ice and where to go. Hopefully it just gets better & better."
Andrew Ference was out with a lower body injury against the Oilers, but Julien indicated Ference wasnt likely to be sent home early during the road trip a sign that the injury isnt all that serious.
Both Milan Lucic and Brad Marchand dropped the gloves in the third period against Andrew Cogliano and Jim Vandermeer, respectively, and the LucicVandermeer bout was a memorable one with plenty of heavy punches thrown.
Lucic said the first few shots hit him in the helmet, but it didnt take long for the left winger to get invested and angry in the fight as he got stronger while the bout went along. The Bs leading goal-scorer has less than a handful of fights this season, so its pretty clear hes trying to get his punches in when he does decide to finally drop the gloves.
"I was just trying to hold my fists tight there and throw as hard as I could, said Lucic. It ended up being a good fight, there.
The fight for Marchand was his first career NHL fighting major.
The Bs have won nine straight against the Oilers, dating back to 2000.
The win over Edmonton was a big homecoming for Johnny Boychuk, who was playing his first career NHL game in Rexall Place after growing up just 10 minutes away. Boychuk has skated plenty of times at the Edmonton rink, but was excited playing in his hometown.
The Boychuk family, including his parents and siblings, traveled to watch the Bs defenseman play in both Calgary and Edmonton during the road trip through Alberta.

Threats to Shaco with this build
|Lee Sin
|An absolute pain in the arse. I'd personally say avoid counter jungling him at all costs - and make sure to ward your jungle as he's likely to try and steal yours.
|brokenly OP at the moment. I wouldn't advice 1v1'ing him early game, can be quite a problem. However is relatively easy to kill late game given crital chance.
|I've generally never come across a Kha'Zix that's not completely ruined my game. Does insane damage early game, but can easily be outplayed if you see him trying to steal your jungle - hide in a bush, place your box near him and Q in for the backstab.
This is an incredibly simple critical Shaco build. As I'm incredibly tired, I'm not going to go too far into detail. I'm pretty sure a few Shaco players will agree with this build, or some of my following comments.
The reason why there's no full jungle item, is purely due to my playstyle. I start red, sometimes coutner their blue - depending on who the enemy jungler is - and rush around camps until I hit level 3. I then gank whichever lane is pushed back enough, hopefully get a kill and go straight for Vampiric Scepter. I find the slight life steal very usefull for clears and early game ganks. It's pretty much a given here, clear your jungle or gank until you have enough gold for Ravenous Hydra.
I've met a Shaco player before who completely disagreed with the Shiv 2nd item - like I said, purely down to gameplay. I've always found farming as Shaco (in lanes) incredibly slow. Sure, he can place his boxes and hit them, but that's not ideal for when you're tryna split push lanes, as someone on the enemy team is sure to come for you sooner or later. Shiv allows and incredibly quick wave clear, giving you more time to push the lane and put preasure on the next tower.
The final items are pretty self-explanatory, boots of mobility are handy when escaping using your Q, and the others are purely for the 100% crit chance.
I'd strongly advice a few Shaco players to try this build out if you already haven't - as since I have I've gone from an almost useless Shaco player, to Mastery 6 nearing 7 and doing incredibly better each game than I used to.

I've done sfc /scannow, chkdsk/r, etc., Window Installer in Services to make sure it's on, etc. I've always been in mortal fear of fooling around with the Registry--won't go near it, but the prospect of a clean install (Windows 7 64) makes my hair stand on end. Will appreciate ideas from your collective brilliant brains. ellen

Or rather many suggestions to resolving them have been made and we have no idea if you have tried any of the suggestions. I would respectfully suggest that you solve one problem before trying to download any further software. I might add that these so called "cleaner software applications" are not only not needed in the Windows 7 environment but often do more harm than good. Many of the "cleaners" were useful in Windows XP but are more of a hindrance than a help in Win 7. They are just not needed (IMHO of course)

I've used Revo for years with nary a problem from it yet. I agree with the previous posters here, try a system restore. If you REALLY think Revo was the culprit here then that should resolve that. What concerns me is what mitchell65 said about your previous posts. You need to do/attempt at least the fixes that are suggested to you. As an aside ....... these wonderful magic boxes are just machines in the end. They do what we TELL them to do and nothing more or less. Theres no reason to fear working on them. Excessive fear may lead to mistakes. Always remember that even if you DO totally screw something up beyond repair, theres help available here to put everything back right.

I discovered install problem cause
Thanks very much to you all who replied quickly and helpfully. I believe the cause of current problems is the Iminent virus that I just discovered has hijacked my home page. When I set my home page again, Iminent kept coming back -- "search...imminent." I've downloaded a lot of info about how to remove it.
I agree, Revo is a great program that I use much more often than Add/Remove Programs. It's just that I inadvertently checked the wrong bold box in Revo at the end when it clears registry leftovers. I won't be in such a rush again and make sure I check the correct bolded boxes.
I value this forum so much; I don't use any other and won't post any problems again till I've fixed the existing ones. ellen

No icon appears
When i open a folder in windows explorer, some of the .exe files don`t appear with the correct icon. I open the properties window and under the general tab the icon appears to be fine. I made a shortcut to the desktop and was given a change icon option in the properties window. Even then, it gave me the option to select what looked like the correct icon but when i selected it and applied it nothing happens and the default icon is still in place. I can only change it by selecting the browse option in properties and poaching an icon from another file. How can I get it to use the icon that it says it already has? Thanks, Stoo.

Thanks but I guess I didn`t explain myself well enough. The program was on the desktop but it was a shortcut to a program. The program itself had the correct icon but even when i deleted the shortcut and then added it again it still wasn`t the right one. i tried changing the icon in the properties window but even that didn`t work.

I went to the Rebuild Icon Cache location but it says that it`s nor for a single shortcut
icon which is the problem. I did delete it and create a new shortcut but even though the prog file icon seemed fine the new shortcut still wasnt right. Eventually I pinched the icon off the progs uninstall.exe file cause it was the same ( BTW the prog was VLC - the avi/mp4 viewer). This works but it still doesnt help with the orig problem which probably will present again. Thanks for the help so far tho. Everyone on this forum has been really helpful.

Rebuild Icon Cache Not for Single .exe file.
As before, when attempting to run the icon cache rebuild it says that
this is NOT the way to fix a single faulty icon. The icon belongs to a 3rd party .exe file that diplays fine in its own folder. The prob occurs when I create a shortcut on the desktop. It offers me what I think is an icon from the microsoft desktop set instead even when I go into the file properties and change icon there. Hopefully someone can offer me the relevant solution this time. Thanks, Stoo.

The problem is that the program doesn't have a Win7 type icon in it and the shortcut does not recognize it. The shortcut keeps a pointer to the icon as <file path>;<icon number> ... when the icon can't be extracted from the program, file path reverts to NULL and windows displays a default Icon from the Shell...
The solution is to get the file path set correctly... so pick something else save your changes, then pick the one you want and save your changes again.

The band began as a wee experimental-twang project by Chicago-bred multi-tasker Tim Rutili (of rockers Red Red Meat and the excruciatingly perfect record label Perishable). Rutili, who plays Wurlitzer electric piano and guitar, expanded Califone for their recent tour with Modest Mouse, to include Eric Johnson on guitar and banjo, Ben Massarella on drums, and Matt Fields on bass. Here, Rutili lent us some of his tour diary.
may 12-minneapolis (prince's house)
the plan is to drive up from chicago, play a califone set, play keyboards for modest mouse (search and destroy style. we never got to rehearse with them), get paid and drive back to chicago. the first few steps worked but on the way to the van after loading out loftus, ben, matt and eric wanted to have one more drink in a cheesy pre-fabricated irish bar across the street from the club. there was a man on the stage with an acoustic guitar and sequencer playing everything from margaritaville to aqualung. drove home dangerously
"Califone started out as a lot more machine/loop based and more about exploring the smoother aspects of pop music," Rutili begins, "but everything is different live. We won't be bringing the machines for this tour so we're only depending on flesh and blood. We're not going to imitate the records, it'll be more fun that way, to leave more room for human error and other fun possibilities."
may 13-chicago-metro--it was a beautiful night of music. after we left the club, modest mouse got into a fight with some homophobic cubs fans. jeremiah ended up macing everyone before the metro bouncers and the cops took over. one of the drunken cubs fans called the cops fags. it turns out that one of the cops was gay. all the cubs fans were arrested no one was seriously injured. cuts and bruises only. while this was happening i slept dreaming of car crashes all night long.
On the cover to their recently released EP (on Portland imprint Road Cone), there's a picture of a Solid Gold preacher-man grinning away for the Rutili Family Kodak moment. And there beside him is a youthful Tim Rutili. The glint in his eyes speaks volumes; it's that same mischievous glint that echoes in the scrapes and mumblings of Califone's organically electronic music.
Rutili brings up another point of reference: "Califone is about waking up from a perfect wet dream next to some one-legged lion tamer you saw at the circus when you were seven."
may 16--cleveland, oh¯as soon as we enter ohio we start sighting the black vans. at a gas station i hold the door open for a group of sinister amish men and their wives. The women smile and the men scowl behind their beards. the club is run by nazis and we will never play there again. after load-out, i left a lit cigarette between the cushions of an old dirty couch in the dressing room.
When you realize how perfect the world can be, it is imperative that you remember to keep looking and listening. Rutili has never stopped building an impressive catalog of releases¯the kind of releases that remind you of the glint in your eyes.
(More of Rutili's tour notes can be found at www.perishablerecords.com)

I'm thrilled to let you know that 9 new original watercolor paintings by me, Renée Anne will be hanging at Café Natura on 75 Elgin Street in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario during the month of November 2011. I am also happy and thankful to let you know that this show is sponsored by the Ontario Arts Council who granted me the funds to frame my new works for this show. You can see my 9 new paintings along with 3 previously viewed works starting on November 2nd through to November 30th.
I have painted these new watercolors especially for the show and am excited to reveal them at that time. If you can't make it to Café Natura during the show, don't worry because I will be listing all of the new works as prints in my Etsy shop at the beginning of November. You will also have the opportunity to purchase the newly framed originals simply by contacting me and we can discuss things further.

Mehrauli Archaeological Park, 25 October 2009
We started a bit later than the decided time: no one reached on time as no one seemed to know where the place was. Add to it the traffic jams in south Delhi and the result was a delay of good forty minutes. In fact, the first person to reach could do so only because he rode a bicycle and not a motor vehicle! Everyone complained that there is no signage to direct visitors to the park, until one of us pointed out the broken sandstone slab with the park's name on it, lying on the ground. It was unanimously decided that this was in keeping with the 'archaeological' nature of the park and promptly stopped complaining!
A patch of land near the meeting point has been recently excavated. This is adjacent to Balban's tomb. They have discovered a stone floor, a few cell-like structures and some graves. A couple of months back, this space was completely covered with vegetation and rocks. Now it is just ruins and heaps of mud. It is amazing to see how archaeological excavations alter an area. Reading about it is one thing, but to be able to see it in practice is totally different. An unexpected sight was newly made swings & a see-saw, with the labourers' children playing on them. The contractor's thoughtfulness, perhaps!
We next walked into Balban's tomb, saw the grave which is said to be his son's and looked at the ruins of a pre-19th century settlement. The Mehrauli archaeological Park is locally known as Jamali-Kamali and the monument that gives the place its name is the mosque and tomb of Maulana Jamali. The caretaker of the mosque is always on the guard and till last month there was police presence in all the ASI protected mosques in the neighbourhood. Some Muslim groups had recently tried to reclaim all historic mosques for restarting prayers, which is against the ASI rules. But now things seem a bit normalized and the compound was open for visitors. The tomb of Jamali is exquisitely decorated with incised plaster and tile work. It a wonder that is has managed to survive for more than 500 years. The small niches on the boundary wall of the compound look very cute. After Jamali-Kamali mosque we entered the area which formed part of Thomas Metcalfe's Dilkhusha: his follies, the boathouse where one could imagine him enjoying his evening tea, the guest house and Mohammad Quli Khan's tomb. The tomb retains traces of both original architecture and also Metcalfe's additions to it. The view from the roof of the tomb is excellent: the Qutb Minar is quite close, the Mahavir statue and tomb nearby on a hill, the Chhatarpur Mandir, Adham Khan's tomb. The canopy of trees looked like a vast green carpet dotted with monuments. The final stop was the step well called Rajon ki baoli. The baoli is a highpoint of one's visit to the park. The underground arched terraces reveal themselves gradually as one approaches the baoli. The same compound has a tomb and a mosque which has beautiful plaster decorations. The well of the baoli caused some excitement (see picture) and we had everyone getting down on their knees to peek safely into it.

Not Available
2013 North Pole Express
Your trip to the North Pole begins at the Midwest Central Railroad's North Depot in McMillan Park in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. You will need to arrive about 20 minutes before the event begins to pick up your official tickets and receive your coach assignments for the train. Railroad conductors will help you board the express train to your destination and find your seat on the coaches. As you ride through the wintery countryside on the way to the North Pole you will listen to The Polar Express story written by Chris Van Allsburg. When the story is finished you will have arrived at the North Pole.
Once you arrive at the North Pole, there are many activities in which to participate. On the top of most children's to-do lists is a visit to Railroad Santa, located in the Christmas Caboose at the North Pole. Children can share their Christmas wish lists with Santa; and children and adults alike will receive a silver bell from Santa - just be careful not to let the bell slip through a hole in your pocket! Only those who truly believe will be able to hear the bell ring.
In our craft room, children can make a simple Christmas ornament to take home. This year the craft is a Christmas mouse. Children will cut out the mouse outlined on construction paper and then color the mouse with crayons or decorate with stickers. Out in the main building there are model trains on wooden platforms and children can use a controller to run the model trains around the tracks. The Snow Princess can also be found in the main building and has a small gift for the children who visit the North Pole.
Just as in the story, hot cocoa will be served, along with Christmas cookies. These are available at the ticket counter in the South Station, and are included in the price of the event. Also included in the event price is a family photo to commemorate your visit to the North Pole. Our photographer will take your family's photo in front of our special North Pole display, and before your visit ends, your photo will be ready to take home.
No trip to the North Pole would be complete without a visit to Midwest Central Railroad's Red Caboose Gift Shop! Train-related items for sale include model trains, train toys (including a selection of Thomas the Tank Engine items), and train books. Sweatshirt, t-shirts, cups, mugs, key chains if there is a train on it, the Gift Shop probably has it! During our North Pole Express event the Gift Shop also has a selection of train-related Christmas ornaments and decorations.
Toward the end of your visit, an announcement will let you know it is time to board the train for the trip back from the North Pole. In just a few minutes you will be back at the North Depot, and on your way home, with happy memories of your visit to Santa and the North Pole!
Children 0 month to 18 months do not need a ticket. Everyone over the age of 18 months must have a ticket.
North Polar Express is a smoke free environment (except for the locomotive!)
Handicapped accommodations are possible - let us know what you need. Just send us an email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
All Sales Are Final - our trains operate no matter the weather.
A few tips to remember for your trip to the North Pole:
The event lasts approximately two hours, including the train ride to the North Pole, the visit to the North Pole, and the train ride back to the North Depot.
Restrooms There is only a porta-potty available at the North Depot where you board the train. Two indoor restrooms are available at the North Pole (South Station). There are no restrooms on the train itself.
Activities at the North Pole take place in Midwest Central Railroad's South Station, so you will be indoors, but only some parts of the building are heated, so please dress warmly for your visit. The coaches on the train are not heated.
If you want to use GPS to find the North Depot (where you board the train), please enter the address: 902 S. Walnut Street, Mt. Pleasant, IA. This is the address for the First Presbyterian Church, which is located across the street from the McMillan Park entrance closest to the North Depot. There will be signs along Walnut Street and inside McMillan Park to direct you to the North Depot and parking area. If you enter Midwest Central Railroad into your GPS, you will end up at the Railroad shop and office, and you may miss your train!

Student Instructional Rating Survey Results
The Student Instructional Rating Survey (SIRS) is a University-wide survey of students for their comments about their experiences in the classroom. The results are used by the individual instructors, departments, schools and the University for the assessment and improvement of teaching. Faculty members are asked to provide summaries of the student survey statistics for personnel decisions, such as tenure, promotion or merit-based pay. SIRS is conducted at the end of every semester by the Center for Teaching Advancement and Assessment Research.

Katie Price reveals 'weird' online chats with Oscar Pistorius
KATIE Price told yesterday how Oscar Pistorius sent her private messages as he stood trial for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The model and businesswoman revealed the pair chatted online after Pistorius, 27, contacted her on Twitter to thank her for her support.
The message came after Miss Price, 36, wrote in a column in March that she would not "judge" Pistorius after he shot dead Reeva on Valentine's Day last year.
The Olympic star began following Miss Price on Twitter and started sending her direct messages about a month later while his trial was on-going in South Africa.
He was direct messaging me during the case. It's weird, isn't it?
She said: "He was direct messaging me during the case. It's weird, isn't it?
"He was saying, 'Thanks for the support,' and stuff. Just all general chit-chat. He was the first one to message me.
"Because I mentioned him in my column, he was referencing that. I wasn't exactly supporting him, but everyone who goes through a trial will be the only one who knows what really happened. You're innocent until you're proven guilty."
Miss Price's brother, Dan, spotted the messages and flagged them to the star.
She added: "He said, 'Oh my god, Kate - have a look at who's direct messaged you on Twitter.'
"I said, 'It's got to be fake.' He said, 'No, it's from his verified account.'"
Last week Pistorius was jailed for five years after being found guilty of culpable homicide.
Legal experts in South Africa said he may only serve 10 months behind bars and could spent the rest of his sentence under house arrest.
Mother-of-five Miss Price said she would "love" to interview Pistorius.
She said: "I would love to do something like Louis Theroux Meets... that is my dream."
Pistorius was cleared of the murder of model and law student Reeva, 29, after a seven month trial.
On Monday, prosecutors in South Africa announced they are to appeal against Judge Thokosile Masipa's decision to acquit Pistorius of Reeva's murder.
They are also seeking a longer sentence.
Earlier this week Reeva's mother June, 68, claimed her daughter was about to leave Pistorius when he killed her.
In her book about the shooting, Reeva: A Mother's Story, she says: "Her clothes were packed. There is no doubt in our minds: she had decided to leave Oscar that night."

The Fenghuang and Dragon Motifs in North America:
A New Perspective of Western Hemisphere Pre-Columbian History | Jon Haskell
Universally found symbols have long been a subject of debate. One position argues they are a result of independent development and the other, a result of cultural migration. In this paper I argue for the later position by presenting a gallery of tracings of subtle background motifs now known as the Chinese Fenghuang bird pair and a believed to be pre-Neolithic Dragon depiction on various venues including: lithic tools, sculpted heads, figurines, caves, escarpments, stone tablets, buildings and silk monochromatic paintings from both hemispheres.
The graphics will illustrate that the motifs first appear on Solutrean lithic material and remained generally unchanged in appearance and positioning relative to each other to later in time Clovis examples from the Cactus Hill and Gault sites in North America, and the Neolithic site of Laonainaimiao in Henan Province China.
More recently in history, I present a sculpted skull from Chavin de Hunatar in Peru dated 1500 BCE bearing the two motifs and which also has diagnostic elements of the Mesoamerican rain gods Chaac and Tlaloc, along with other Mesoamerican examples showing the motifs continued use on Olmec thru Aztec artifacts.
Focusing on cultural groups in eastern North America and the upper Ohio River Valley, I present tracings showing the continued use of the motifs by the Paleo-Eskimo in the Sub-Arctic to the more southerly Glacier Kame, Adena, Hopewell and Mississippian cultures.
As an art based research project, this paper is heavily graphic dependent with limited commentary, but it will demonstrate that the world has always been small, and there is much to be learned about the history of the Western Hemisphere.
Mission Statement
The Foundation was established to protect and research intriguing artifacts recovered from several locations in the Southeastern region of North America, with the goals of more fully understanding the pre-Columbian history of North American indigenous cultures and finding a public venue for their permanent display.
Many of the artifacts illustrate there is still much to be learned about the pre-Columbian history of the region.
It is hoped that our efforts will incrementally be helpful in providing a clearer picture of this fascinating period.
We invite you to review these artifacts in our developing website, and contact us with comments or questions.

Conic-Spiraleur: A Miniature Distal Scanner for Confocal Microlaparoscope
Confocal microlaparoscopy is a promising approach in minimally invasive surgery for replacing conventional biopsies that involve physical tissue sampling. However, the typical images acquired with this technique cover a very small area limited by the field of view of the probe. This paper presents the mechanical design of a distal scanner, the conic-spiraleur, to perform automated spiral scan with the probe in order to construct a mosaic-image. The design of the conic-spiraleur is based on using a conic structure with a particularly curved surface. The pieces of the design are simple to manufacture and easy to assemble with conventional methods to form a device that can be inserted through a conventional 5-mm diameter trocar. We present the pieces, assembly, control, and precision test of the system. The system is tested in vivo in an experimental pig operation. We present the first in vivo, large field-of-view (3 mm(2)) and high resolution (1.4-mu m lateral and 10-mu m axial) images in confocal microscopy.

How Effective is a Gluten-free, Casein-free Diet for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Celiac.com 04/11/2012 - Studies on the gluten-free and/or casein-free (GFCF) dietary intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) suggest that some children may positively respond to implementation of the dietary intervention.
Other studies support the idea of using various factors, including gastrointestinal (GI) abnormalities and immune function to classify children diagnosed with ASDs
Medical researchers Christine M. Pennesi, and Laura Cousino recently examined the effectiveness of the gluten-free, casein-free diet for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. They are affiliated with the Department of Biobehavioral Health at the Pennsylvania State University in Pennsylvania, USA.
For their study, Pennesi and Cousino presented a 90-question online survey to parents or primary caregivers of children diagnosed with ASD. The survey asked about the efficacy of the GFCF diet. The survey included questions about the children's GI symptoms, food allergy diagnoses, and suspected food sensitivities, as well as the degree and length of their dietary regime. In all, they received 387 responses.
Parents who reported GI symptoms, food allergy diagnoses, and suspected food sensitivities also reported greater improvement in ASD behaviors, physiological symptoms, and social behaviors, compared with parents who reported symptoms, diagnoses, or sensitivities in their children (P < 0.05).
Parents who reported strict diet adherence, full gluten/casein elimination and infrequent diet errors during and outside of parental care, also reported improvement in ASD behaviors, physiological symptoms, and social behaviors, compared with parents who reported less strict adherence, incomplete gluten/casein elimination, and more frequent diet errors during and outside of parental care (P < 0.05).
The full report appears in Nutritional Neuroscience. There, the authors write that findings suggest that diet adherence and GI and immune factors may help to differentiate diet responders from diet non-responders. They also suggest that the findings support the importance of further investigations into the various factors that influence efficacy of treatment in children with ASDs.

Am I misunderstanding something here? It looks to me like they're trying to suggest the results of an online survey have some kind of scientific relevance?
An online survey? Really?!
The people who voluntarily filled out this survey will very likely be among the passionate parents desperate for results... parents who have for years willfully ignored the lack of scientific evidence to support the use of a GFCS diet for treating autism.
There's nothing "scientific" about such an online survey.

I did not fill out the survey but I can speak from experience. My son has mild aspergers. He was not diagnosed until age 17, however this has been a very long journey. He has been an extremely difficult child since about age 1. As parents we were told to be firmer with him, force him to sleep with drugs, and that we must be exaggerating his behavior problems. At age 11 we discovered that he had celiac disease after going on an allergen free diet. The difference in his behavior was a miracle. He still has some issues but they are night and day. Whenever he eats gluten the behaviors come back. He can actually describe the sensations to me now that he is 17 and much more aware of his body. Trust me he is 6'4" tall and pure muscle and eating 4000 calories a day. Feeding him a gluten free diet is very expensive and I wouldn't be doing it if it didn't help.

May I ask, Laura, how did you get your son to change his diet? Our son is 13 and is very phobic when it comes to foods. We encourage him all the time to try new foods (same foods encouraged several times) and he simply will not budge. Just trying to get him to try one bite of a new food has begun WWIII in our house. Have any suggestions?

Yeah I know. My son is in his 30's now. I have celiac and now I know he has it. I had a hell of a time with him since he was a baby. He cried all the time and I mean all the time.
If I had known this things would be different today. We both had these issues with this and did not know it. Now his life is a mess and he is still eating gluten. He has no money for nothing now as he don't have a job.
I think it is sad. I still get sick. He still eats gluten and does not stop as he can't afford an other foods.
Sad If I had known it could have been different for him at least.

My son is 24 and was diagnosed with aspergers at 15. He is also deaf. He has always had stomach issues and now I am wondering if this isn't the reason. His behaviors are worse some days than others. Can this diet help to change behaviors after all of this time?

This article is very subjective. Parents of kids with PDD may perceive all kinds of changes when they try different treatments that can be caused by many factors. I work with a physician who did a small study (randomized controlled trial) on the GFD in kids with autism and found no change in behavior. In these situations, randomized controlled trials are what is needed to show if the GFD truly has benefit for these patients.

We too have had very positive results by using the GF diet for our son now 17 with an ASD. The positive results were so pronounced that they were noticed by teachers, family and friends. Anyone that has seen the difference in him is a believer. I find it sad when one feels we have to wait for science to give us the assurance to pursue something that is so harmless and may have such a strong impact.

I wish I had been diagnosed at 19. In retrospect, I was having symptoms as a 16 year old, and didn't get diagnosed until I was almost 30.

Of the nearly 300 million people worldwide living with visual impairment, 90 percent live in the developing world. In these regions, the need for quality educational resources for ophthalmologists is critical. For more than 25 years, the Academy's Global Outreach programs have put invaluable clinical materials into the hands of the physicians who need it most, enabling them to treat millions who would otherwise lose their sight.
"There are patients who sometimes cannot be helped because the necessary, up-to-date skills and knowledge are lacking. The Academy and its Foundation are doing a fantastic job to address this need through its educational programs and quality of care research. And we in the developing countries are the greatest beneficiaries. Who would not gladly support such initiatives?" - Benedictus G. K. Ajayi, MBBS, MHS, Ibadan, Nigeria
"I have found the ONE Network to be very comprehensive, providing a broad view of current ophthalmic practice, carefully updated information and access to journals that simply are not easily available to eye surgeons in Africa. I believe the ONE Network will be the single most helpful resource for improving the quality of eye care service and residency training on the continent."- Abeba Welde Giorgis, MD, Ethiopia
"I used the ONE Network to diagnose a case of carotid cavernous fistula, resulting in prompt neurosurgical intervention that saved the patient's life." - an ophthalmologist in India
"Thank you, AAO. It is nice to know the Rotary Club Host Project is providing this great lifetime opportunity for doctors in developing countries to participate in the RCHP and attend the annual meeting. My exposure to AAO has given me the confidence to move ophthalmology in my country forward by advocating partnerships with all eye care providers." - David Pahau, MD, New Guinea
"I am profoundly grateful to AAO and the ONE Network team. I haven't been on the ONE Network for [even] a day, yet I have realised how immensely it is going to impact my learning towards becoming a proficient ophthalmologist."- Sunday Commando Maji, MD, Nigeria
"I wish I could have shown you the eyes of the residents light up when they saw the latest version of the Basic Clinical and Science Course along with the ProVision modules and Basic Ophthalmology books still wrapped in the original plastic.Thanks once again for all of your efforts and the kindness and generosity of the Academy to provide such treasured teaching resources to those in the developing world."- John S. Jarstad, MD, upon delivering educational resources to a residency program in Indonesia
"A million thanks. The Basic and Clinical Science Course books arrived and we are very grateful. We are slowly stocking a library for the residents that are now rotating through our facility and these will go a long way in getting the library to where I want it to be. Your support is highly appreciated." - Kibata Githeko, MBChB, MMED PCEA Kikuyu Eye Unit, Africa
"The ONE Network has been a very new and great tool for us because it provides a new variety of resources. Those are very expensive in our country and to have a membership for a journal costs so much and the schools don't have enough money to provide those. Through the ONE Network, we have the ability to use them and it is a fantastic tool for us." - Angela Maria Fernandez Delgado, MD, Colombia

Leather and Fur for Christmas by JonnSnowWatch
©2012-2017 JonnSnow
Color of Pepper Christmas [link] by `Artgerm. Painted in Gimp. I'm working on textures. Updated image with a 20% violet adjustment layer to tone down the harsh greens and improve the skin tone.
Congratulation for your gallery!
Oh wow I saved this line art sometime ago...prolly wont ever get around to coloring it >.<, but I love how you managed to make the pants look like leather and the fur on the hat is nice!
Thanks. I limited my pallet to two colors so I could concentrate on getting the textures to read right. Glad it worked.
This is awesome!!
Thanks, but dude! I just posted this six minutes ago. How'd you find it so fast?
In main page I have setting that shows new devitations Btw I admire your way drawing those lines in clothes, that is something I haven't still learned!
This isn't my line art, I just did the coloring. The line art was done by artgerm, so he gets all the credit for making the folds in the clothing. There's quite a science to it, making folds so it looks like canvas or silk or leather. Pepper is artgerm's original character, check out her gallery! [link]
Silly me! But anyways nice colors! It's difficult at least to me to balance colors when making shading or anything else, impressive work!
