Tune In To Parnelli On "Trackside"
The weather has been crazy in Nashville. This past Sunday, it was around seventy degrees as rain poured down in buckets. On Monday, it turned cold – very cold. So cold, that it got down to fifteen. That's cold whether you live in St. Paul or St. Petersburg. That coupled with the resulting sleet, snow and freezing rain has me yearning for some racing – any type of racing. I'll settle for NASCAR at this point.
Fortunately, a lot of us are going to get our fix tomorrow night. Trackside has been on hiatus for the past several weeks. Maybe that's why there seems to be no buzz in the IndyCar circles. But our friends Curt Cavin and Kevin Lee return for two hours tomorrow night to talk racing. Normally, they don't have an in-studio guest. A couple of months ago, they had driver James Hinchcliffe in the house but that was the exception and not the rule.
Well, tomorrow night – they are kicking the year off in style. Not only will they have an in-studio guest – it will be none other than the great Parnelli Jones. Not to take away from Curt and Kevin, but if they just turned him loose and let him have the whole show it would suit me fine. Parnelli Jones could fill up a six hour show with no commercials, just by telling stories.
Most people go through many "favorite" athletes over a lifetime. My two current favorite drivers in the IZOD IndyCar Series are Helio Castroneves and Tony Kanaan. My all-time favorite driver is AJ Foyt. But as a kid growing up, my first favorite (if that doesn't sound contradictory) was Parnelli Jones.
As a five year-old, my basis for that decision was that I liked his name and loved the car he drove to victory in 1963 – Ol' Calhoun. Before my father and two brothers went to the 1964 race without me, they had shown me pictures of Jones winning the previous year's race. Something about the white Watson roadster with the royal blue nose driven by the guy with the great name, captured my imagination – which didn't take much at that age.
I was disappointed to learn that his car caught fire in the pits in 1964 and he didn't win. When I went to my first race in 1965, Jones was one of the favorites to win and he was driving another good-looking car – an old-gold Lotus with a white strip going down the middle. He didn't win that race either, but he finished second to Jim Clark who absolutely dominated that day.
Two years later, Parnelli Jones would drive another eye-catching car – Silent Sam; Andy Granatelli's turbine-powered car with the Pratt & Whitney jet engine that ran along the left side of the car. To call it revolutionary was an understatement. It had four-wheel drive and even utilized an air brake, although that was never used in the race.
Jones qualified sixth, but at the start of the 1967 race, he blew past pole-sitter Mario Andretti on the backstretch and never looked back. He pretty much led the whole way until a six-dollar ball-bearing gave way with three laps to go. As he coasted into the pits, AJ Foyt roared past en route to his third Indianapolis 500 victory.
Parnelli Jones never raced at Indianapolis again. He is quoted as feeling empty when he left the track for good a couple of days later. He says he had the same feeling you get when you are leaving on a trip and you're certain you've left something behind. For all of his accomplishments at the track, he only raced in seven 500's.
Jones went on to become a very successful car owner. He partnered with Velko "Vel" Miletich to form Vel's Parnelli Jones Racing or simply VPJ. They owned the beautiful Johnny Lightning Specials that Al Unser drove to victory in 1970 and 1971, as well as the cars driven by Joe Leonard to win the USAC National Championship in 1971 and 1972. The team later ventured into Formula One, but never had the success they had in USAC.
But for all of his racing accomplishments, of which there are many; Parnelli Jones may be best at story telling. Not fictitious embellishments, mind you – he doesn't need to make anything up. Remember, this is the man who went 150 mph at Indianapolis before anyone else did – ever. This is also the man that decked Eddie Sachs in the breakfast buffet line at the old Speedway Motel the morning after the race and put him on the ground for mouthing off about the way he had won the 1963 race. He was best friends with Jim Hurtubise and considered Troy Ruttman his racing hero.
Parnelli Jones is now seventy-nine years old, but his mind and wit are sharp as ever. Last year, I saw him drive Ol' Calhoun for some ceremonial laps on Pole Day. I was standing there as he climbed out of the car. He seemed as fit as ever as well. There was no fat on this man. Nor did he appear frail or thin. Quite honestly, he looked as strong as an ox. But I think he's done with fighting in the buffet line.
If you want to have some temporary relief from the winter doldrums, tune into Trackside tomorrow night on 1070TheFan.com at 8:00 pm Eastern time. If you want some good stories and a feel for what racing was like forty and fifty years ago, be prepared to be entertained. It'll get the month of May here that much quicker.

May of 1964, while in second grade, was my build-up to my first Indianapolis 500. Like all good Hoosier kids, I had watched all of the Indy 500 specials on Indianapolis television since the crib so I knew who the drivers were and to me they were supernatural. Rodger Ward, AJ Foyt and Parnelli Jones were three fresh 500 winners and I knew that Eddie Sachs was fast. With all of that, the cars were like excalibur to me, particularly Ol' Calhoun, not so much for it's speed, but because it was so damn pretty. Still is, too. Anyway, that day I was pulling for Foyt, but I liked Jones and seeing those two go after it from my perch in Section "B" was taking my breath away. I remember Jones leaping out of Calhoun and rolling in the pit, too. Take away the first two laps and it was an amazing race.
By the way, I am still mesmerized by Silent Sam.
Parnelli was my hero too. My Dad worked at Bill Stroppe's shop in So CA, and Parnelli drove one of their stock cars pretty much every year for a while at the Motor Trend 500 at Riverside, which used to be the first race of the year.
In 1990, I worked on PJ and Page's USAC Midgets for a short time as I also went to work on PJ's Indy Lights car (ARS at the time). Had the extreme privilege and honor (I was somewhat in awe) of riding with Parnelli, PJ, and then-crew chief Mike Horvath from Toronto after the race down to the airport in Buffalo NY where Parnelli caught a plane. PJ and Mike sat in the back seat talking, and I was able to sit and talk one-on-one for a couple hours with Parnelli about his career and what-not about the current (1990) era. He was just a regular guy who had some amazing accomplishments. He remained and still remains my biggest racing 'hero'.
Parnelli was one of the best to ever turn a wheel at the speedway. I was lucky enought to see him in all 7 of his races at Indy. watching THIS MAN WHEEL OL CALHOUN AROUND THE SPEEDWAY WAS A THING OF BEAUTY! IT WAS A ENOUGH TO BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES!

Leonardo' Last Supper, in the refectory of the Dominican priory of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, an icon of High Renaissance Italian art, has been universally acclaimed for its realism and dramatic power from the very time of its creation. It remains so even now, although but little of its original condition is left. It has been painstakingly cleared of dirt and repainting during the mural's most recent restoration completed about ten years past, enabling us to investigate Leonardo's creative process and the mural's meaning with greater assurance. What emerges are complex layers of meaning reaching beyond the mural's obvious focus on the moment when Christ states to the Apostles that one of them will betray him.
Analysis of the painting confirms his quest for originality as he departs from the preferred emphasis in contemporary Last Suppers, especially Florentine, on Judas' extreme evil. Instead, Leonardo underscores the spiritual remoteness of Christ. His treatment of the Apostles reaches from momentary dramatic narrative response to reference to different moments of Scripture narrative, thus introducing a flexible notion of time. And a closer reading of the composition yields calculated actions and gestures that cannot be accounted for according to how humans usually interact.
The very crowded spacing of the Apostles at one side of the table, including Judas who is usually placed in front, is excessive. Last but not least, here Leonardo also connects Christ and some Apostles to his last sermon in the Gospel of John, which stresses the notion of universal love.
In his Notebooks, Leonardo da Vinci explains how our knowledge has its formation in our perceptions. "The eyes, which are called the windows of the soul, are the chief mean whereby the understanding may most full and abundantly appreciate the infinite works of nature". Leonardo continues: "all true sciences are the result of experiences which has passed through our senses". He invites the observer to first experience nature and then with reason investigates the causes and effects of the experience. The presentation focuses on an aspect of creativity, the similarity between artistic and scientific creativity as espoused in Leonardo's Notebooks and, in particular, visualized in his Annunciation of 1472 at the Galleria degli Uffizi.
In analyzing Leonardo's Annunciation, one is able to reflect on Leonardo's concept of creativity as well as on his theory on painting. This earlier painting in Leonardo's artistic career is fundamental and serves as a fulcrum in the history of art and science in Italian Renaissance art. In the Annunciation, the young Leonardo begins to conceptualize his theories on optics and perception, fusing natural phenomena with spiritual signification.
For all that Leonardo wrote it is to his visual explorations that he entrusts the primary task of representing nature. Because for Leonardo art is an instrument of discovery, a form of knowing and not merely an illustration of what is already known, the application of color and tone reveal a process of visual reasoning, a science of painting.
In October of 1624 the French master Simon Vouet became Principe of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome, his ascendency ordained by the Cardinal Protector, Francesco Maria del Monte, who ordered the abolition of the old Academy, the rewriting of its statutes, and ultimately the elimination of the ruling clique. With the reform of the institution foreign artists and young members gained decision-making participation.
Vouet set the Accademia on firmer organizational and financial footing, for which upon his resignation in June of 1627 he received the gratitude of the membership. However, it is highly probable that the actions decreed by Del Monte were not initially greeted with applause by the ingrained power structure, which might also have resented the loss of autonomy under the Cardinal's iron fist.
Internal controversies having arisen, Del Monte certainly had contemplated commanding change for some time. This study argues that he and Vouet launched a joint campaign to help persuade the Accademia membership that the French painter, in particular, would best serve in the leadership position and, further, that the Marescotti Chapel in San Francesco a Ripa, with Vouet's canvas of the Birth of the Virgin as its star attraction, figured in this offensive.
The Birth of the Virgin presents such a forceful combination of Caravaggesque realism and High Renaissance monumentality as to make it exceptional in Vouet's career, and as part of the aforementioned lobbying effort was calculated to demonstrate the non-Italian's command of early Cinquecento art as well as that of his own time. Given contemporary discussions in the Accademia precisely of Raphael, the picture's obvious dependency (hitherto unobserved) upon Raphael's frescoed Sibyls in Santa Maria della Pace is not coincidental. Thus the article proposes to account for the stylistic uniqueness of the Birth of the Virgin, to suggest the circumstances under which it was painted, and to establish a new date for it and potentially for other undocumented works by the master.
Scholars have long recognized that Ovid's Fasti was one of the sources for Botticelli's Primavera. But in most cases, Ovid is treated as one source among many, used primarily to explain what is happening on the right side of the picture. In this article, I argue that Ovid's Fasti – or more specifically, Books IV and V, the sections that cover the spring months of April and May – represent a key not only to the activity on the right, but to the painting as a whole. The importance of Ovid's text in turn clarifies the role of Angelo Poliziano in the process, in the creation of the Primavera. In the 1480s, Poliziano devoted a series of lectures to Ovid's Fasti, which nourished a growing interest in Ovid's text; Poliziano introduced his course with an extended poem – now lost – in the manner of the Fasti, which may well have been the painter's immediate source. Ovid's Fasti was Botticelli's original point of departure, but Poliziano clearly guided the way.
At various times in his life, Michelangelo Buonarroti purposefully displayed his craftsman's skill to astonish contemporaries, as he did in carving the Rome Pieta and David. The author draws attention to details which, because they were exceptionally difficult to carve (difficulta), demanded superior craftsmanship, such as the extended arm and separated, curling fingers of the Virgin's left hand in the Pieta. Author further argues that Michelangelo took up the Medici Chapel commission with energy and something to prove following a long fallow period of little marble carving. The four allegories were a purposeful demonstration of his prodigious skill, most notably in the entirely unnecessary but astonishing cutting through of blocks to free dangerously extended and barely supported limbs. Many other details of the tombs are purposeful demonstrations of the artist's invention and skill, emphatic assertions of originality, and a form of artistic signature, all serving to reaffirm his reputation as a creator of marvels.
The article sums up the continuous, impressive amount of literature and the many major exhibitions dedicated internationally to Claude's paintings and drawings within the last fifty years. It lists the discoveries of previously unknown works (c. 55 paintings and 70 drawings), deals with the lasting impact of his art, discusses the gradual shifts of approach, the style of today's scholarship, the investigation of his beginnings in Rome, patronage, economics, the relationship with fellow artists, and points out desiderata.
A well-rooted tradition, that claims Bernini's unpopularity was well established by the beginning of the eighteenth century when the sculptural project for the twelve apostles in the nave of St. John Lateran was being finalized, is contradicted by a number of factors. By analyzing some literary sources (Charles Poerson, Charles De Brosses, Winckelmann) and visual evidence from a conservative artistic milieu (Accademia di San Luca), the article suggests that, contrary to common belief, Bernini cast a "long shadow" well beyond the beginning of the eighteenth century. Indeed, it was only in the 1770s that his fame was finally obfuscated by the growing appreciation for the "noble simplicity and quiet grandeur" of Neoclassical art represented by works such as Canova's first Roman commission, the tomb of Clement XIV (1787).
Gian Lorenzo Bernini: Between Artistic Theory and Practice – the "speaking likeness", the bel composto and the paragone
According to Irving Lavin, the renowned scholar of Bernini, the artist "was not a theoretician". Still recently the sculptor has been confronted with such artists of clearly articulated intellectual ambitions as Domenichino, Pietro Testa and Nicolas Poussin. Even though this statement in principle is correct, it is also true that the rigours and significance of the theoretical foundations of the artistic practice of Domenichino and Poussin, just like those of Bernini, can be inferred, above all, from their ouvre. What can be verified is whether, and how clearly and coherently those theoretical foundations became verbally formalized by the artists themselves. The paramount importance of such principles of Bernini's art as the "speaking likeness", and above all, the bel composto, which had many precedents in the history of art but have never been dealt with in Renaissance art theory, has not been sufficiently emphasized from the viewpoint of theoretical originality which can be inferred from the artist's biography and Chantelou's diary. Even more remarkable are Bernini's thoughts on the theme of the paragone between the "sister arts", an accomplished theory of exceptional coherence, built upon the first-hand experience of the sculptor's craft, of which it is impossible to find a lucid formulation in the previously cited sources.
Early in his career, Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini started to convey a sense of grandeur in his sculptural portraits, experimenting with various formal solutions. With his work progressing, this tendency toward an "apotheotic" image of the sitter is corroborated by an increasing awareness and display of the very objectness of the portrait bust, eventually becoming part of the artistic concept. The problem of the "sliced figure" is not felt anymore; rather, the long standing, fundamental self-contradiction of portrait sculpture – of informing the bust with vivacity and at the same time revealing its character as an artefact – is resolved and reintegrated in terms of the Baroque aesthetics of mediacy. Therefore, the term "mediality" seems a valid descriptive category for the propensity to elucidate both the artificial and the mediating status of the artwork, in other words: of its being a medium in the fullest sense.
A large and enigmatic still life in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts presents Bernini's Bust of Francesco I d'Este surrounded by an array of objects, including flora, fauna, and astronomical instruments. Since it entered the scholarly literature in 1902, this oil on canvas has confounded scholarly efforts to identify its author, determine the circumstances of its production, and decipher its iconography. After arguing for an attribution to the Modenese court painter Francesco Stringa, this essay contends that the painting, rather than communicating a vanitas theme – as it has been traditionally interpreted – is a highly charged political image, one that celebrates the virtuous rule of Francesco I and the continuity of that rule under his son and successor, Alfonso IV, who likely commissioned the painting in 1660.
A Return to Europe chinoise
While the different forms of chinoiserie in the eighteenth century and of japanism in thenineteenth century have been the subjects of innumerable publications, the contribution of the Orient to the preceding periods has generally been obscured by historians of Western art. Is this real blind spot the fruit of ignorance, or is it the sign of an anachronistic and Eurocentric chauvinism?
This paper first recalls the importance and frequency of secular contactsalong the Silk Route travelled by missionaries and merchants. The two subsequent casehistory studies illustrate the phenomena both ofhybridisation and of crossbreeding which result in formal borrowings. In the first, thepresence of clouds or Chinese mountains in landscape paintings in Europefrom the fifteenth century onward testifies to the migrations from East to West. The second concerns the architectural motif of the door in the shape of amonster's mouth in the garden of Bomarzo and in the Palazzo Zuccari in Rome, and argues that this too seems to come from an exotic iconographic source, in this case, that ofthe Indonesian kala.
While Rosalind Krauss has argued that Marcel Duchamp's so-called Precision Optics is concerned with what she called an "erotic theatre", this paper attempts to demonstrate that it was primarily artistic questions, or rather art historical ones, which were the motivation behind Duchamp's series of works collated by the term Optique de précision. The argument is that in the title, Precision Optics, which was to be understood as ironic, Duchamp was seeking to address the theoretical foundations of one of the history of painting's most fundamental means of representation, so-called linear perspective. The question that concerned Duchamp may well have been something like this: how is an actual impression of spatial depth achievable by means of a blocked, monocular gaze? Or, in other words: how is the 'promise of linear perspective', that is the creation of 'illusionary' spatial depth frontal, perceived with a blocked, monocular viewpoint, to be resolved in the form of a sketch drawn in linear perspective? It is an 'illogical' basis for enquiry, since it is based on a-rational premises and yet it is an original, artistic one. This paper shows that in his precision optical works Duchamp was involved with playing with the cardinal problems of the history of painting.
In statements about his work Bacon makes many anti-religious, and more specifically, anti-Christian statements. However, what is paradoxical is that although these statements are unequivocally disparaging about the Christian faith, in his art work he is not only drawn to but is utterly preoccupied with the symbols of Christianity, in particular those of the Crucifixion and the Pope. I want to account for his prolific and indeed obsessive use of the symbol of the Crucifixion in his work. Was he employing the Crucifixion in a conventional way to support the Christian narrative, or was he subverting or inverting its meaning?
I am positing two traditions, a 'Christian' tradition (as denoted by the phrase 'right-way up'), which is predetermined by the narrative of resolution and salvation, as typified by the Resurrection and is represented here by Grünewald's Crucifixion panel from the Isenheim Altarpiece (in Colmar, c. 1515–1516, see Fig. 2) and the other tradition, which is represented by Bacon's seminal work, Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion (1944), which I will describe as an 'inversion', where the (bodily)fragments of the Crucifixion do not partake in a salvation in the sense of being made whole, but remain as fragments.
It is too simplistic to regard Bacon's continual employment of religious symbols solely from the perspective of (expressing his) unbelief. A more radical interpretation would suggest that Bacon is employing these symbols to further his alternative spiritual message. Bacon's redeployment of the symbol to communicate to a twentieth century audience constitutes what I have identified as a 'partial reversion'. In other words, Bacon is using the symbol of the Crucifixion not to uphold the Christian narrative, nor to express his atheism but to convey spiritual truths about the human condition that are pertinent to his day. In his 'partial reversion', what I have referred to as his 'a-theology', Bacon takes the viewer to arguably the holiest moment in the Christian narrative, the desertion of Christ at the foot of the Cross. However, it is only a 'partial' and not a full reversion because we are left contemplating the pain and suffering of humankind without the promise of redemption through salvation.
The Szczerbiec (literally the "Jagged Sword" or "Notched Sword") is the coronation sword that was used in crowning ceremonies of most kings of Poland from 1320 to 1764, and the only preserved piece of Polish Crown Jewels, kept at the treasure vault of Wawel Royal Castle in Cracow.
The enormous literature on the Szczerbiec, that has come into existence since the 1870s, can roughly be divided into two camps: the works of authors who have accepted the authenticity of the Szczerbiec kept at Wawel Royal Castle and the publications of those who have doubts or are decidedly in favour of its inauthenticity.
Building on the connection between the symbols on the Szczerbiec and the emblems used by the Knights Templar and the Rosicrucians, proved by R. T. Prinke, the present paper suggests that the sword could have originated with the Knights Templar, thus returning to the opinion of Jean Tastou, the archaeologist working in the service of Anatole Demidov, one of the nineteenth-century owners of the Szczerbiec. In the thirteenth century, besides the Teutonic Knights, the Knights Templar also had their holdings of land in Poland, and it was they who defended their new country against attack by the Mongols in 1241. They had close relations to the Piast dukes and it is highly probable that, after being put down in dramatic fashion, as a result of interference on the part of King Philip the Fair, at the beginning of the fourteenth century, they handed over their ceremonial sword to one of the Piast dukes.

Uncharted 2 would have been "very different game" without Blu-ray, HD, Cell
Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells has told VG247 that Uncharted 2 wouldn't have been the game it eventually became without PS3's unique hardware features.
The exec added, though, that differences between PS3 and Xbox 360 games, in the main, are more the cause of developer talent that hardware factors.
"I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it's on the Xbox or PS3," said Wells, talking in an interview published today.
"Great programmers and great artists are going to make a great game. Naughty Dog will continue to push the PlayStation hardware as far as we can.
"We're fortunate that we get to work on a system that has a hard drive and uses blu-ray for storage. Without these things, Uncharted 2 would have been a very different game. What we were able to do with the Cell processor allowed us to achieve a density of polygons and a fidelity to our effects that would simply not be possible without it.
"But ultimately, if we didn't have a team of very talented programmers and artists, we wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the hardware and achieve the results that we did."
Uncharted 2, the highest-rated PS3 exclusive of all time, is available in the UK from today.

The IRA Charitable Rollover provision was reinstated for 2012 and 2013 in the tax deal signed into law this week. The IRA Rollover provision has proven to generate new and increased charitable donations for orchestras in the years it has been available. In the course of its history, the IRA Rollover has expired and been renewed several times, leaving many donors confused about the status. Here are the facts:
The IRA Rollover expired at the end of 2011, but is now retroactively reinstated for 2012. If any donors aged 70 ½ and older had instructed their IRA administrators to make a distribution of up to $100,000 directly to a charity during 2012, that distribution will not be treated as taxable income for 2012. However, Congress recognized that few donors would have done this, since the provision had not yet been reinstated. So, the law now includes two additional opportunities for individuals to take advantage of the IRA Rollover incentive for the 2012 tax year:
- IRA Rollover gifts made through January 31, 2013 may count as 2012 contributions.
- Qualifying personal IRA distributions taken by individuals in the month of December 2012 can be counted as a "charitable rollover" if contributed to a charity as cash by January 31, 2013. Since many IRA owners take their mandatory distribution at the end of the year, this is an opportunity to transfer that distribution to a charity without treating it as taxable income.
The IRA Charitable Rollover Provision is reinstated for 2013. This means that donors aged 70 ½ and older can instruct their IRA administrators to make tax-free distributions of up to $100,000 directly from their IRAs to charitable organizations through December 31, 2013.
It is always wise to advise donors to contact their IRA administrator and/or tax advisors for more detail as you inform them that this important charitable giving incentive is once again available.

Sandy Hook Promise launches 'Parent Together' campaign
NEWTOWN >> Sandy Hook Promise launched their Parent Together campaign Thursday morning to educate and empower parents to prevent gun violence in their community.
"Since its founding last December, Sandy Hook Promise has been seeking ways to bring Americans together to help prevent gun violence," said Nicole Hockley, the mother of 6-year-old Dylan, who was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary, in a release. "Last year at this time, I was that mom who was deeply saddened by the violence I saw on the news, but I didn't think I could do anything to change it. But then it struck home and I knew that to honor Dylan's life, I had to get involved to prevent other parents from experiencing this grief. Through Parent Together, we will build on our common ground as parents and our love for our children to create a national community empowered to make our children safer."
Sandy Hook Promise described Parent Together as a national grassroots campaign, which seeks to emphasize mental wellness, connection to community and gun safety. The group wants to bring parents together around their love of children in hopes of preventing another tragedy such as Sandy Hook, as well as any gun violence.
The release said the campaign was launched a month prior to the one-year anniversary of the mass shooting to make sure Sandy Hook is remembered as a place where real and lasting transformation started.
The group said in the release that they will provide tools and programs to focus on mental wellness, community connectedness and gun safety which will be used by parent to help prevent gun violence in homes, schools, communities and the nation.
"When you talk about preventing gun violence, you can't just talk about guns," said Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son Daniel was killed at Sandy Hook. "Parent Together stresses the importance of our children's mental wellness and the need to strengthen our communities. My little Daniel understood the values of connectedness — to family, friends and community; if we all practice those values, we will create a safer world."
Sandy Hook Promise said they will be releasing several digital assets including promotional videos featuring celebrity parents from TV making the case for the need for parents to come together to keep children safe.
"We are stronger when we, as parents, stand together for change," said David Wheeler, the father of 6-year-old Benjamin, who was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary. "Through the Parent Together campaign, we are resetting the conversation by reminding parents that their love for their children can overcome political paralysis. We are choosing to move away from inaction and anger, and to embrace this love to empower parents to act now in their communities."

Jaso's experience is invaluable to A's young staff
ANAHEIM -- Nothing is more essential to a team's success than the bond between pitchers and catchers. It has been a relatively seamless transition for backstop John Jaso in his first season with the A's following a winter deal with the Mariners.
"When I came in, it was really easy to get to know the guys here," Jaso said on Friday night as the American League West leaders engaged the Angels. "There are some guys you need to calm down, some guys you want to get going [emotionally].
"The personality thing is something I picked up on in Triple-A, actually. There are times when you'll go out there, grab the resin bag and toss it in the air, and say, 'I just jammed my thumb on that pitch. I need some time.' Really, what you're doing is giving your pitcher some time to calm down. It's part of the job, knowing your guys and doing what you can to bring out the best in them."
According to A's manager Bob Melvin, Jaso's experience with the Rays and Mariners has eased his transition.
"I think he's done a nice job," Melvin said. "He's been with several teams before and caught high-profile guys."
While veterans Bartolo Colon and Grant Balfour lead the rotation and bullpen, the A's have one of the youngest pitching staffs in the Majors. They stormed to the 2012 AL West title behind a rotation that featured four rookies. Tommy Milone, Jarrod Parker, Dan Straily and A.J. Griffin are all back, along with Colon.
"They're still in the development process, and it's exciting to be part of it," said Jaso, who has shared catching duties with Derek Norris while also starting 13 games as the designated hitter.
A's starters finished the first 95 games on a roll, allowing three or fewer runs in 11 consecutive games with a 2.28 overall ERA. Over the past 53 games, the rotation is 27-8 with a 2.99 ERA, allowing a .227 opponents' batting average.

Akron-Canton Regional Airport is now taking part in the Transportation Security Administration's PreCheck program, an expedited security screening that lets pre-approved travelers move through security faster.
Keep your shoes on and your jacket zipped. A new expedited security line at Akron-Canton Airport offers travel without the undressing.
The airport is taking part in the Transportation Security Administration's PreCheck program, which allows preapproved travelers to move faster through security screenings.
The goal is to make flying more efficient, said Ross Feinstein, TSA press secretary, at an event Friday marking the PreCheck opening.
He likened the expedited line to the express lane at the grocery store.
PreCheck passengers go through a separate security screening line. They don't have to remove shoes, belts or jackets, and can keep their laptops and "3-1-1" liquids (3-ounce bottles in a 1-quart plastic bag) in their carry-ons.
Passengers still have to go through metal detectors and may be randomly selected for additional screening.
"No one's ever guaranteed expedited screening," Feinstein said.
PreCheck is designed to make traveling faster for everyone, he said. Passengers in the PreCheck line will get through security quickly, and with some people moving to the fast lane, the standard security lines should be shorter.
There are several ways to take advantage of PreCheck, but some of them come with a price.
U.S. citizens who are part of trusted-traveler programs, such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Global Entry, and Canadian citizens who are part of Canada's NEXUS program, are eligible for PreCheck.
Global Entry, which is designed for frequent international travelers, costs $100 for five years.
By the end of the year, TSA will launch its own PreCheck enrollment program, Feinstein said. That program will cost $85 for five years of eligibility. Applicants will pay when they enroll, similar to applying for a passport.
Some airlines also may offer PreCheck to their frequent flyers. Passengers who receive an invitation can choose to opt-in free, though they'll be able to use PreCheck only when flying with that airline.
Right now, 12 airlines participate in PreCheck, including all major airlines flying out of Akron-Canton, Feinstein said.
On a flight-to-flight basis, TSA also may offer random passengers a chance to go through PreCheck — a practice that will improve efficiency, Feinstein said.
If you're eligible for PreCheck screening, a notice will appear on your boarding pass. A PreCheck indicator also will be embedded in the bar code of the boarding pass, so passengers can be redirected to a PreCheck lane during screening.
PreCheck is available at 102 airports nationwide. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Pittsburgh International Airport also participate.
About 30 percent of flyers in Northeast Ohio go through PreCheck lines, said Jim Spriggs, deputy federal security director for TSA in the Northeast Ohio region.
"It's always nice to make it easier to go through security ... We don't always do that," Spriggs said.
"Any customer amenity to make it easier for customers, we make sure we do it here," agreed Richard McQueen, president and CEO of Akron-Canton.
TSA launched PreCheck in October 2011. The agency has been expanding the program since, Feinstein said.
But not all passengers are up to date with the new program.
On launch day, several Akron-Canton flyers still unlaced shoes and unbuckled belts in the PreCheck line.
"The hardest part here is educating travelers that if they're in the PreCheck line, they don't need to remove their shoes or their jackets," Feinstein said. "Passengers have become so used to having to remove these items."
Others, such as Stuart Kone, are already pros. Kone, a frequent traveler from Atlanta who takes about six trips a month, has been a Delta PreCheck member for years.
"It's civil again," he said. "It's great. I'm really glad (TSA) did that."

Firewall reports attacks on TCP port 80 or 53805 or unsolicited packets of type 0x88e1
This guide deals with the following issues:
- A firewall on a computer in the FRITZ!Box home network reports regular attacks ("Syn Flood", "Denial of Service (DoS)") on TCP port 80, 53805, or a different port between 50001 and 59999.
- Every five seconds, a firewall or an application for analyzing network connections such as Wireshark reports packets of type 0x88e1 (EtherType).
Connections do not pose a security threat
The incoming connections do not come from the internet. Instead, they come from the FRITZ!Box and do not pose a security threat.
- TCP Port 80:
The FRITZ!Box uses TCP port 80 to check regularly whether computers or other devices connected to the FRITZ!Box offer web services accessible over HTTP, such as a user interface. The web services of these devices can be accessed directly under "Home Network > Mesh" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- TCP port 53805 (or a different port between 50001 and 59999):
The FRITZ!Box uses TCP port 53805 or a different randomly selected port between 50001 and 59999 to check regularly whether there are other FRITZ!Box models, FRITZ!Repeaters, or FRITZ!Powerline adapters in the home network that are compatible with Mesh. Any devices it finds are displayed in the FRITZ!Box user interface under "Home Network > Mesh".
- Type 0x88e1:
The FRITZ!Box uses packets of EtherType 0x88e1 to check regularly whether there are any FRITZ!Powerline adapters in the home network. Any adapters it finds are displayed in the FRITZ!Box user interface under "Home Network > Mesh".
Note:If you do not want to receive these messages, configure the device's firewall so that it allows incoming connections to the respective port or packets of type 0x88e1. Information on how to set it up can be obtained from the manufacturer of the firewall, for example refer to the manual.

I'd watch this video before solely making any judgments:http://www.youtube.com/v/MjnBPSBmVIo
It was nice hearing what Joey's actual voice sounds like. I hope he starts to use it more often.
I really like them for the beginning <3One thing that bothers me though is that it seemed like they just got brainwashed by John and their purpose of the racing is now to get rid of Bates&Anthony instead of just having fun and exploring the world. ...They need to realize that they and some other teams did beat Bates&Anthony at certain legs before, which means Bates&Anthony are actually beatable. And also I won't get over the fact if they ended up using another U-TURN in Scotland. Maybe it's just me, but I personally find it very "unfair" knowing a team can utilize a U-TURN twice,regardless the kind. Best of luck <3 although sometimes KARMA will hit you on the ass if you are to use a U-TURN. hint hint: Jaymes&James;Art&JJ

Maybe it was the Bloody Mary that got Jean Shanley into trouble on a recent flight from Louisville to Las Vegas.
She paid for the $5 beverage with her American Express card and then slipped the card back into her pocketbook, where it stayed for the rest of her vacation. When she returned home, Shanley, a sales associate for a department store in Burlington, Ky., found $1,300 in fraudulent charges on the card and she suspects that Southwest Airlines is responsible for the security breach.
Travelers are easy prey for carders, who take illegal credit card impressions in a crime called cloning or skimming. Airline passengers such as Shanley may feel extra vulnerable because on a plane, plastic often is the only payment option for beverages, meals or duty-free items. (Airlines euphemistically call it a cashless environment.)
Apart from the timing of the charges, several other clues point to Southwest as the responsible party. First, Shanley says, the flight attendant took 15 minutes to return her card; and second, shed never had a fraudulent credit card charge until she made the in-flight purchase.
I think its strange that the charges showed up two days after that flight, and I have never had a problem before, she says.
Southwest says it isnt responsible.
Cardholders tend to focus on the last known legitimate charge as being the point of compromise, airline spokeswoman Linda Rutherford says. However, our security folks advise us that it could be any number of merchants where the card was used prior to the Southwest flight. She says Southwest has no reason to suspect the crew on Shanleys flight but agreed to forward her complaint to management for their review.
Shanleys credit card company reversed the bogus charges.
But Shanleys problem raises two bigger questions for air travelers who want to buy something onboard: Is it safe? And is there a way to protect your card?
Heres the bottom line: Fraud can take place anywhere, even at cruising altitude, and no protection measures are airtight.
Could a flight attendant moonlight as a carder? You bet, says John Sileo, an expert in digital privacy. The gadgets used to perpetrate these crimes are small enough to be concealed in a pocket.
There are skimming devices that are only slightly larger than a matchbox, Sileo says. Ive seen waiters hold the check folio in such a way that they hide a skimmer and are able to skim the credit card while standing at the table.
An accomplished carder can clone a credit card right in front of you without your knowing it, he says.
They make it look like theyre sliding the card into the check folio, he says, but theyre actually swiping the card.
The credit card security experts I spoke with say that Southwest isnt necessarily to blame because a card can be skimmed anywhere, and the bad charges dont always appear immediately after the theft. Any time you hand over your credit card, youre exposed because youre giving a potentially dishonest clerk an opportunity to make an illicit copy of your card information from the magnetic strip.
Once the thief has the credit or debit card data, he or she can place orders over the phone or online, says data-security expert Robert Siciliano. But thieves also can copy that data onto blank cards, which are called white cards. The plastic even can be dressed up to look like a legitimate card, he said.
Such data theft creates a massive money drain. The most frequently cited statistic is a 2010 U.S. Secret Service estimate that skimming is an $8-billion-a-year problem. (It includes ATM skimming, which, as the name implies, happens when you use your credit or debit card at an automatic teller machine.)
I know its a problem because my own card has been cloned, and Im not entirely sure how it happened. The last place Id used the card before the fraudulent charges popped up was in a sandwich shop in British Columbia. But that means nothing. Carders can wait weeks before running fraudulent charges, and Id like to think that the deli was as honest as the tuna sandwich they made to order.
How do you avoid being skimmed? Identity-theft expert Rob Douglas says that using cash whenever possible is the only way to be safe. He recommends forking over greenbacks for minor purchases typically associated with this kind of fraud.
That includes cab rides, coffee and newspaper kiosks, meals in restaurants located in high-tourism locales, airport vendors and similar operations where a carder can obtain a large amount of card data with little risk of any single stolen transaction being tracked, Douglas says.
Experts say that the only long-term fix is to tighten security on credit cards by requiring PINs and using security chips that are far more difficult to copy. But American credit card companies have been slow to embrace such changes, citing higher costs and downplaying the security risks.
The next time they do that, maybe they should talk to Shanley or Southwest Airlines or me.

The body of an Oklahoma inmate who died after a botched execution of what corrections officials have said was an apparent heart attack was returned from an independent autopsy without the heart or larynx, a state medical official said Monday.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office, which is conducting an independent autopsy on the body of inmate Clayton Lockett, retained the body parts, a practice that is not uncommon, said Amy Elliott, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office.
"Oklahoma law reads that the Office of the State Medical Examiner can retain any kind of tissue or samples indefinitely," Elliott said. "And my understanding is it can be the same in Texas."
Dallas County officials did not immediately return messages Monday.
The latest news from around North Texas.
David Autry, Lockett's attorney, said a private doctor is working to complete a second autopsy and has asked Dallas County to preserve all evidence in the case, including the heart and larynx.
"I assume they retained those for additional testing, but we've asked them to preserve all the evidence," Autry said.
Lockett's body has been returned to his family and cremated, Autry said.
Dr. Amy Gruszecki, the medical director of American Forensics, a Dallas facility that conducts independent autopsies, said doctors conducting the autopsy likely found something specific with the heart and larynx that they wanted to further document.
"It's not completely unusual," Gruszecki said. "They might want to do some additional investigation or saw something that was very important to the diagnosis."
Lockett died after his April 29 execution was halted when prison officials noted the lethal injection drugs weren't being administered properly. The doctor inside the death chamber reported a single IV in Lockett's groin became dislodged and the lethal drugs went into his tissue or leaked out of his body.
Oklahoma was using a new three-drug method for the first time, and Lockett writhed on the gurney, gritted his teeth and attempted to lift his head several times before the state's prison director halted the execution. Lockett died anyway, about 43 minutes from what prison officials have said was an apparent heart attack.
Gov. Mary Fallin has ordered an investigation into Lockett's death, and the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has issued a six-month stay of execution for a second inmate who was scheduled to die on the same night as Lockett.
The Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office will release the official cause and manner of Lockett's death after it receives the results of the autopsy from Dallas County, Elliott said.
Lockett, a four-time felon, was convicted of shooting 19-year-old Stephanie Nieman with a sawed-off shotgun and watching as two accomplices buried her alive in rural Kay County in 1999 after Nieman and a friend arrived at a home the men were robbing.

Laparoscopy is a surgical diagnostic procedure, which is helpful in detecting the internal organs of abdomen such as the stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, gallbladder and liver. It is also known as diagnostic laparoscopy and is a minimally invasive and low-risk procedure, which requires only small incisions.
Laparoscopic procedure is conducted using a medical instrument known as a laparoscope to look at the abdominal and pelvic organs or permit small-scale surgical procedure. A laparoscope is a fibre-optic, long and thin instrument with a high-intensity light and a high-resolution camera at the front. A laparoscope is inserted in the abdominal wall through an incision or cut. With the movement of the laparoscope, the camera sends images to a video monitor.
Laparoscopy helps a laparoscopic surgeon to see inside the human body in real time, without open surgery. Laparoscopic surgeon can obtain biopsy samples while conducting the laparoscopy procedure. The laparoscopy cost in India varies from one clinic or hospital to another. There are various other factors as well on which the laparoscopy cost in India depends such the past patient reviews and qualifications and expertise of the doctors.
Laparoscopy is conducted to diagnose and treat problems related to reproductive organs. It helps a doctor laparoscopic surgeon to detect the cause of any sort of dysfunction in abdomen, such as pain or excessive bleeding. It can also help in finding reasons for infertility and treating the same. Situations under which laparoscopy takes place are:
Over time, India has become a medical hub of various medical treatments including Laparoscopy surgery. People from not only India, but other states as well are coming to undergo several treatments. The reason behind this haul is the affordable Laparoscopy cost in India. The Laparoscopic surgeons and medical professionals too are the most reputed and well recognized. Laparoscopy is considered to have higher success rates despite having a low cost. At the IVF centres in India, the laparoscopy cost in India starts from Rs. 33, 500 and can go up with respect to the location and success rates. With higher laparoscopy success rates, the laparoscopy cost in India increases. For example, the laparoscopy cost in India with higher success rate ranges from Rs.60999.12 to Rs.71687.0. OVO Health provides a Fair Treatment Cost calculator to find and calculate the cost of the respective treatment based on their success rates. Following table represents the laparoscopy cost in India based on the success rates from fair to high.
Laparoscopy is recommended in conditions like unexplained infertility issues. Laparoscopy can also be used to remove cysts, fibroids or open blocked fallopian tubes. Hence, laparoscopy is used to treat the conditions in the female reproductive organs, which cause infertility in women. Laparoscopy is also suggested to some of the patients before starting any fertility treatment because it helps in improving their treatment's success rates.
Laparoscopy is as an outpatient procedure. The patient can go home the same day of the surgery. It may be performed in an IVF hospital or an outpatient surgical center.
The patient is given general anesthesia at the beginning of surgery. In general anesthesia, the patient is allowed to sleep through an intravenous (IV) so that he/she may not feel any pain. With IV, the anesthesiologist can give special medications and provide hydration with fluids. The doctor advises patient to be fasting for 8 hours before the time of surgery. Some patients are also asked to take some antibiotics depending on the severity of the surgery.
During laparoscopy, the surgeon makes an incision below the belly button and then inserts a cannula to inflate abdomen with carbon dioxide gas. This gas allows the doctor to see abdominal organs more clearly. Once the abdomen is inflated, a laparoscope is inserted through the incision. The camera attached to the laparoscope helps in displaying the images on a screen, allowing internal organs to be viewed in real time. The instruments are removed post laparoscopy procedure. The incisions are then carefully closed with stitches or surgical tape. Bandages are then placed over the incisions.
Laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive surgery and is as safe as traditional open surgery. The laparoscopic operation takes place when the laparoscope is inserted through a small incision near the belly button (umbilicus). The laparoscopic surgeon initially looks in the abdomen to ascertain that laparoscopic surgery may be safely performed.

Gwen Stefani is on the cover of the September issue of Bazaar, and the 42-year-old mom is asked about how she keeps in shape. She explains:
There is no secret: You just have to eat healthy, work out, and torture yourself!
Torture. It's a joke, right? She's joking. But these are messages women can't escape: Beauty is pain. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. Torture yourself.
It's possible that Gwen — who was a swimmer in high school — hasn't found a form of exercise she likes, but slogs through. She says working out is "more for my brain than it is for my body," and also admits: "I like to wear clothes too much, so I try to keep focused." Sure. Maybe she's being, as the Daily Mail calls it, "refreshingly honest" about her regimen. It just seems unfortunate that suffering has to be part of it. Both anorexics and athletes like the inspirational motto, "pain is weakness leaving the body." And maybe that's true. Perhaps a positive spin — it feels great to work up a sweat/running is fun/I love feeling strong/I do it for my heart — would be disingenuous. And certainly some celebs like to pretend that they just roll out of bed with flat abs and clear skin and shiny hair, glossing over the hard work and team of experts employed. It's just telling that from foot binding to corsets to weaves and waxing, women endure "torture" in order to meet some ever-changing standard of beauty, one that keeps moving, and is always just slightly out of reach.

We equate good governance with good business. It is essential to building a sustainable business, delivering on our brand promise – PROTECTS WHAT'S GOOD™ – and safeguarding our reputation.
By providing the foundation for our strategy and approach to leadership, good governance ultimately helps us fulfil our vision to make food safe and available, everywhere. Our governance framework helps us deliver on our brand promise and comply with relevant regulations and legislation, as well as guiding us to behave ethically and responsibly. A Global Leadership Team is responsible for implementing the framework, supported by a Corporate Governance Office and a network of local governance and risk officers.
Our charter of responsibility outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Tetra Laval Board and Tetra Pak. The framework also includes a comprehensive risk management methodology and system with related and mitigating policies, procedures and global processes for managing and responding to risks. To secure an effective and transparent internal control environment we have implemented a new Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) system. This creates a single platform for risk management, bringing mitigating policies, procedures and detailed controls together with assurance processes, assessments and reports.
While core values shape our corporate culture and guide our behaviour internally and externally, our Code of Business Conduct sets out the company's position on working conditions, discrimination, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, financial reporting, compliance, corruption, bribery, child exploitation and environmental issues. We have established a Sustainability Forum to further support our strategic and cross-functional approach to sustainability. Reporting to the Strategy Council, its members are Vice-President and Director-level representatives from across the company.
To build trust and transparency with our customers and as part of our approach to responsible sourcing across our supply chain, we work with leading sustainability assessment platforms, including the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex), EcoVadis and CDP.
In 2019, we were included on CDP's prestigious "A list" for both Climate and Forests. We were one of only 179 companies so recognised for our actions to cut emissions, mitigate climate risks and develop the low-carbon economy, and one of just eight for our work to prevent deforestation in supply chains. We were also rated by EcoVadis in the top one percent of companies in our industry category.
Communicating about our responsible business practices and performance is very important to us. We have been publishing environmental reports since 1999, and we have been reporting on broader sustainability issues since 2005.
As signatories to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) we are committed to the implementation, disclosure and promotion of its 10 principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. We submit an annual Communication on Progress and also actively contribute to the UN and best practice standards of the Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC™), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition.
Read more about our stakeholder engagement
Anti-corruption is an important part of our corporate governance and we take a zero-tolerance approach to corruption, bribery and fraud. Corruption is unethical; it undermines the fairness of the market, distorts transaction costs, destroys an open, honest and decent society and harms economic, social and political progress. Combating corruption is an important part of building trust with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders and fostering a responsible, transparent business culture.
All employees, at all levels of the company, are responsible for complying with the governance framework in their everyday decisions and actions. Details of the framework are available on our intranet and a mandatory eLearning programme is in place.
Anyone in the company can anonymously report actual or suspected breaches of our Code of Business Conduct or any other unethical behaviour directly to either the Corporate Governance Officer or Head of Audit, without being penalised in any way. Every case of a breach of our Code of Conduct is handled individually and investigated appropriately, depending on its severity. If the incident is criminal, we report it to the relevant authority.

Texas Lawmakers Demand Answers On Houston Shuttle Snub
Rep. Ted Poe (TX-02)and Rep. Pete Olson (TX-22) were joined by other members of the Texas Delegation in sending a letter to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden requesting an explanation for why he is sending a retired shuttle orbiter to New York City instead of the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
On Tuesday, NASA announced that it will send retired shuttle orbiters to New York, California, Florida and Virginia. Houston, the center of space exploration, was denied a shuttle. This letter requests answers to pointed questions to figure out the logic behind the decision.
"The first word spoken on the moon landing was 'Houston', not New York City,†said Rep. Poe. "NASA and the Johnson Space center have been the home base for space exploration for decades. It defies logic for a shuttle to go to New York City, a place with no connection to NASA. It's like putting the Statue of Liberty in Omaha. This was a politically driven decision, not one based on facts and history. This is disrespectful to Houston, the state of Texas and the Johnson Space Center family. Texas needs an explanation from the Administration.â€
"No city in the world deserves a shuttle more than Houston, certainly not New York. As much as the Administration may deny it, the smell of politics permeates this decision," Rep. Olson said. "So many of my House colleagues from across the country have reiterated that point since the announcement. NASA never established defined criteria, likely because they knew Houston would meet every criteria with flying colors. Houston deserves answers to how this decision was made. Administrator Bolden has some explaining to do."
Olson and Poe were joined by other members of the Texas delegation including: Rep. Ralph Hall, Rep. Michael Burgess, Rep. Joe Barton, Rep. Pete Sessions, Rep. Randy Neugebauer, Rep. Sam Johnson, Rep. John Carter, Rep. John Culberson, Rep. Kevin Brady, Rep. Gene Green, Rep. Ron Paul, Rep. Michael McCaul, Rep. Lamar Smith, Rep. Louie Gohmert and Rep. Blake Farenthold.
Dear Administrator Charles Bolden,
Like many other Texans, we were shocked by your announcement yesterday that the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, the center for human spaceflight research and flight control for NASA, was not chosen to be the permanent home to one of the retired Space Shuttle Orbiters. As you know, the Johnson Space Center's Mission Control Center has been the operational center of every US human space mission since June 1965. The men and women who work at mission control have supported every single shuttle mission since the very first mission in 1981. We can find no logical explanation for this decision, and request that you explain the rationale behind the decision to Congress, the people of Houston, and the American taxpayer.
- What factors did you use in making your decision?
- For what specific reasons was the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum in New York City chosen?
- Are there any historical connections between NASA and the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum? Are there any historical connections between NASA and New York City in general?
- Exactly how much does NASA anticipate spending to move the Enterprise from its current location in Virginia to the Intrepid Museum? Specifically, what funds will NASA use to pay for this move?
- How does NASA physically plan to move the Enterprise to pier 86 in New York City?
- Considering that the Intrepid Museum is located only 224 miles from the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia, where the Shuttle Discovery will be displayed, doesn't it make geographic sense to have the Enterprise more centrally located in the country? As it stands now, there are three locations on the east coast. Wouldn't a more central location ensure that the highest number of Americans would be able to visit?
It is our hope that politics did not play a role in this historic decision. If there is no rational explanation based on definable factors for the choice of the Intrepid museum in New York City, and that the transfer of the Enterprise to that location will cost significantly more than a transfer to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, we will do everything in our power in Congress, including legislation to prevent funding of the transfer, to stop this wasteful decision.

I like it, it made me laugh
( how to beat traffic jams or leap over a broken down vehicle maybe! )
We have this office presentation board and during work we draw silly ideas and this was one of those. Usually somebody draws something and the other continues. In the end I came up with a quick storyboard and then I wanted to see it in action. This represents well the importance of having an original idea.
Nice. What'd you draw it in?
CS6 Flash. I want to try Animate, I heard there are good stuff in it.
:-) funny
A little bit like "I need to do some sports finally, but not without my car"
funny but creative work
hahahaha I don't know why but I love it haha
Just came across this animation. Lol! Made my day.

Lead, Blood
What is Pb, Blood?
Lead is a heavy metal commonly found in the environment. It is highly toxic for the human body and can cause severe conditions if ingested or inhaled. The Blood Lead Test measures the amount of lead in the blood to determine lead poisoning.
Why is Pb, Blood done?
The Blood Lead Test is performed:
· To detect lead poisoning, especially in children
· To monitor treatment for lead poisoning
What does Pb, Blood Measure?
Lead is a soft heavy metal which has a number of industrial applications because of its relatively unreactive and stable nature. It is a major component in paints, petroleum, batteries, bullets, weights, radiation shields, etc.
However, lead is highly toxic to the human body, even in small amounts. Use of lead has been discontinued in a number of applications like lead-based paints, leaded fuel, etc. Yet, significant amounts of lead are still present in our immediate environment, including the soil, food items, water, etc.
The primary ways by which lead enters the human body are through ingestion and inhalation. This is common in infants and young children who often put their hands in their mouths after playing outside in the soil. This can result in the accidental ingestion of lead. Lead exposure occurs in adults through occupational or recreational methods.
Lead is toxic even in very small amounts, causing irreversible damage to various organs of the body. In infants, lead exposure can cause permanent mental damage, causing behavioral abnormalities and impairment of mental growth without showing any other physical symptoms. Lead poisoning may occur due to ingestion or inhalation of a large amount of lead at one time or may develop slowly over a long period of time. The blood lead test is performed to measure the levels of lead in blood and to determine the extent of poisoning.
Interpreting Pb, Blood results
Acceptable range:
Children: Below 10 µg/dL
Adults: Below 25 µg/dL
Acceptable for industrial exposure: Below 50 µg/dL
Toxicity: 100 µg/dL and above
Lead is toxic even in trace amounts, thus there is no normal range for lead.

If you've ever been to a family reunion and felt like the odd man out because you didn't know anyone there, then perhaps it's time you map out your family tree and get to know people. Then you'll know who that annoying little four-eyed cousin of yours is the next time he we wets the top bunk. But where to start?
A company called Vertigo created a nifty little application using the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) that's called Family.Show. Family.Show allows you to map out your family tree, adding the names of family members, pictures, birthdays etc. I decided to give Family.Show a try for myself.
After launching the application, you can start your family tree. Add a photo, choose male/female, and insert information for first and last names, as well as the date and place of birth. Once you've added one family member, you can continue on to add spouses, children, and siblings. The whole application is very polished and smooth, and it gives you the option to quickly zoom in and out so that you can view your whole family.
If you're interested in your own genealogy and are looking for a way to map it out, check out Family.Show. It won't do any fancy things like let you search for information on family members though, so you'll need that on hand. Taking that into consideration, you might want to bring a camera along to your next family-gathering so you can get started.
Family.Show is available at Vertigo's website. Firefox users must download the Firefox extension.
