It's a situation you never want to be in. A crash where your car is totaled, you're seriously hurt and you can't get out. With only an hour window to get you the critical help you need, first responders have to act quickly. That's why the men and women of the Wausau Fire Department spent the day training, learning how to do just that.
They were specifically working on extrication training. You may be more familiar with the tools they use for it. They're referred to as the "Jaws of Life" and they're used to force doors open and cut and spread metal, allowing firefighters to pull victims from the car. In the last two months, the Wausau Fire Department has had to use them three or four times.
As cars change, firefighters run into new issues with where they can and cannot cut, as they don't want to sever electrical wires. This is especially a problem on hybrid cars.
Since the Department gets most of their practice vehicles from a scrap yard, it's hard for them to find newer models to practice on. To compensate, the firefighters take courses online, but Lieutenant Mike Tulisaari says hands on experience is the best.
"Get your hands dirty. Get your hands on the equipment because sooner rather than later you're going to be out there and people are going to be depending on you," Lt. Tulisaari told his team.
The Wausau Fire Department has hands-on extrication training two times a year. In the last two years they've upgraded their equipment. Now all of the "Jaws" tools are battery operated making them easier to use and less intimidating to victims.

Thread: Ball joints?
Ball joints?
I have a bottom balljoint gone in my 05 z71. is it true you have to replace the whole control arm or how do you get the old joint out? thanks!
11-15-2012, 01:31 PM #2I have been told that some are press in and some require a complete arm replacement. I wish that I knew what the correct answer was, as I have an 05 yukon and may be doing them soon. Autozone sells a press in ball joint for it and a complete arm. You should be able to tell by looking at the ball joint on your truck for a snap ring. If they are press out. You "rent" the press from autozone or another store. Remove the snap ring, and have at it.

- ♥ Emily the "Cutie Banana P... 2012/06/17 17:37:56+2I'm actually in a long distance relationship myself with someone I met on here (Sodahead) and we've been together for 1 year and 8 months now. I've heard numerous people tell me repeatedly that "long distance relationships don't work." This is only true if you choose for it to be. I would say that communication is the most important part of making a long distance relationship work.
- SlaveWaterNymph 2012/06/17 07:36:10+1yup it is a lot harder and it is even harder with a D/s relationship to boot. But for U/us( me and Daddy/fiancee) is this: talked as much as W/we could, either it be on the computer typing, or on the phone. Make sure that you can trust them and know what they want up front and then work things out that way. Communication and trust are two important things in a relationship. :D Btw, been with Daddy/fiancee almost six years. :D

True love comes at various cost and its a matter of paying them until you reach the next level.

+2It works if you both put 100% and only focus on you guys, communication is very important, letters, phone calls, laughs, talk ,talk, talk very important, he and you need to know that you and him are there for each other, fill that Love tank, concentrate in his love Tank and vice versa. Don't think in another person, but concentrate on you guys , work, school... and your future, talk about it with him when you guys reunite the wonderful thing you will do together and last but not less...Never give up on him if he doesn't give up on you and vice versa.

I think the trick to long distance relationships is making time each day for one another, some one on one convo time to chat about the day and such, I'm sure they'd appreciate it :) - Pixie·MzAwesome♠ƤĦĂĔŢ♠ 2012/06/15 16:37:38

States Attorney's Office District of Connecticut |
February 17, 2010 |
NORWALK GROCERY STORE WORKER PLEADS GUILTY TO FEDERAL FOOD STAMP FRAUD CHARGE Nora R. Dannehy, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that PEDRO L. SERRANO, 51, of Norwalk, pleaded guilty today before Senior United States District Judge Ellen Bree Burns in New Haven to one count of food stamp fraud. The federal Food Stamp Program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service and utilizes federal tax dollars to subsidize low-income households, affording such households the opportunity to achieve a more nutritious diet by increasing their food-purchasing power. Food Stamp recipients purchase eligible food items at retail food stores through the use of an EBT card, which is similar to an ATM card. Food Stamp benefits may be accepted by authorized retailers only in exchange for eligible items. Items such as alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, paper goods and soaps are not eligible for purchase with Food Stamp benefits, and it is a violation of the rules and regulations governing the food stamp program to allow benefits to be used to purchase ineligible items. Food stamp benefits may not lawfully be exchanged for cash under any circumstances. The program is designed so that the total amount of each purchase is electronically transferred to the retailer's designated bank account. According to court documents and statements made in court, SERRANO owned Borinquen Grocery and Deli, located at 71 South Main Street in Norwalk, from approximately December 1999 to September 2004, when he sold the store to his daughter. In September 2004, SERRANO's daughter filed an application with the Food Stamp Program for Borinquen Grocery and Deli to participate in the Food Stamp Program. The application was approved, and Borinquen Grocery and Deli began participating in the Food Stamp Program in October 2004. Beginning in October 2005, Borinquen Grocery and Deli's food stamp redemptions began to increase dramatically. Subsequently, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of the Inspector General (USDA-OIG) began an investigation. On 12 occasions in 2007 and 2008, an individual working with USDA-OIG entered Borinquen Grocery and Deli and redeemed food stamps totaling $993.18 in exchange for $470 in cash and a combination of eligible and ineligible items, including cigarettes. SERRANO was the clerk who redeemed the food stamps on 10 of the 12 occasions. Judge Burns has scheduled sentencing for May 7, 2010, at which time SERRANO faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of up to $250,000. Borinquen Grocery and Deli is under new ownership. This case was investigated by the United States Department of Agriculture, Office of the Inspector General. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Paul H. McConnell. | |

Negative Social Encounters May Reduce Sensitivity to Physical Pain |
Mildly negative social encounters the kind often experienced in day-to-day living can induce stress analgesia and reduce a person's sensitivity to physical pain, according to a new study published in the November issue of Pain. It is well known that strongly negative social interactions produce stress analgesia in both animals and humans. However, this is one of the first studies to show that encounters that are just slightly negative can also induce this response, Terry Borsook, a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, told Medscape Medical News. This is one more study in a growing body of studies showing that our social experiences are so important to us and so important to our lives and our health that they can in fact impact our pain responses. "This is one more study in a growing body of studies showing that our social experiences are so important to us and so important to our lives and our health that they can in fact impact our pain responses," he said. The discovery has important implications for physicians and their relationships with their patients, he noted. "Even something as simple as the doctor's demeanor when he or she comes into the examining room can affect how their patient experiences pain," Borsook said. Doctors who are aloof, distracted, who don't make eye contact, or who are generally unresponsive to patients may provoke an analgesic response that may cause the patient to report less pain, with insufficient pain control a possible result. "Doctors who are aloof, distracted, who don't make eye contact, or who are generally unresponsive to patients may provoke an analgesic response that may cause the patient to report less pain, with insufficient pain control a possible result." No Effect of Positive InteractionsThe study included 45 healthy first-year psychology students, who ranged in age from 18 to 30 years. The participants were told that the university was testing different ways of helping new students get acquainted with other students and that they would be working in pairs so that they could practice the different methods on each other. The "partner" was a trained actor who was instructed to act in a very warm, engaging manner or to be very aloof throughout the exchange. All participants rated the intensity and unpleasantness of painful stimuli before and after engaging in the structured interaction. The study found that participants who had the positive social exchange had no change in their pain sensitivity, but those who had the mildly negative exchange showed a significant reduction in pain sensitivity from what it was at baseline. Pain intensity was rated on a scale from 0 (none) to 10 (worst imaginable). In the negative encounter group, the mean pain intensity score went from 5.9 at baseline to 4.64 after the encounter (mean change, −1.26; P = .006). In the positive encounter group, the mean pain intensity score was 5.02 at baseline and 5.29 after the encounter (mean change in the pain intensity scale, 0.27; P= .51). Surprising ResultBorsook admitted that the lack of change in the positive group was a surprise. "The positive social exchange was very positive. Our confederate was a professional actress, and she was extremely gregarious by nature, so believe me, they had a very positive exchange, and yet there was no change at all. "We weren't so surprised by the finding in the negative group because we were expecting to get a stress analgesia effect, based on all the literature that shows that when people are socially stressed, you get this stress analgesia effect. But we were surprised to find that the positive experience produced no effect at all." If such a mildly negative social encounter can provoke these potent physiologic responses, it suggests that people may very well be experiencing more chronic or frequent occurrences of stress responses than has been heretofore recognized, Forsook said. "Many people may be exposed to chronic fight-or-flight responses, which can have many negative implications for health. This would be particularly true for people who are sensitive to social exclusion, like people who feel lonely or fear rejection." Generalizable Results?Medscape Medical News asked Kathi Heffner, PhD, from the Rochester Center for Mind-Body Research at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in New York, for her take on the study. "This study adds to the efforts by scientists to explain how poor social relationships and social isolation impact physical health," she said. "We can all think of those mundane and brief but unsatisfying interactions we have had with strangers, like the indifferent customer service representative. These findings suggest that even ordinary but mildly off-putting social exchanges may be stressful enough to reduce pain." She noted that, because the study was done in college students, the findings may not be applicable to other age groups who may be less stressed by a stranger's disinterest. "As the authors note, the findings may not apply to people who have, for a long period of time, lacked social connections. Other studies suggest that poor social connections and social isolation can affect the way people respond to stress. "So for people who are socially disconnected for long periods of time, negative social exchanges may or may not affect pain in the way it affected these study participants," she said. Dr. Heffner believes that for the study findings to have clinical relevance for physicians, it will be important to determine whether the findings apply to actual clinical situations and to patients with chronic pain. If so, "healthcare providers should be aware that the way they interact with their patients may impact patients' reports of pain." Mr. Borsook and Dr. Heffner have disclosed no relevant financial relationships. Pain. 2010;151:372-377. Abstract Fran Lowry Medscape Medical News © 2010 WebMD, LLC |

"I have something to tell you.I'm HIV positive"
Wed 4th Jul, 2012 in Support
After telling his partner he was positive, Richard says he felt like he was starting his relationship again.
We've been in a relationship for nine months. Before this we knew each other for about a year and a half, just chatting online. He didn't know my HIV status.
I hadn't had a relationship for almost two years because of HIV. I disclosed my status one month after being together. I wasn't necessarily keeping it from him. At the beginning I didn't think he needed to know because we didn't take any risks. I also didn't think we would end up in a relationship.
Disclosure is a private thing. You don't go around telling everyone you're HIV positive. The way you do it is very important and very personal. Confidence is important. This has an impact on how the other person receives your disclosure. If you leave an opportunity to be judged, people will judge you. I had to feel comfortable that he was going to be able to deal with it.
When you disclose you've got to get to a point where you trust the person. Also, find out how much they know about HIV so you can have information to give them if needed. I didn't realise until I told him that he didn't understand the basics of HIV.
Starting again
It took Patrick some time to realise I'm still me, nothing had changed. After the disclosure the challenge was starting the relationship again. It was like meeting a new person. It's very hard because you've got to trust each other. He's got to trust me again.
"Disclosure is a private thing. You don't go around telling everyone you're HIV positive. You've got to manage it the right way."
With more understanding of HIV it's got to a point where we are more relaxed. He wanted to hear the facts about what is and isn't safe so we looked for information together. Once he got the facts (rather than what was going on in his head) we took it one step at a time.
It took time for the relationship to build. We talked about HIV in our relationship to the point where Patrick was comfortable with it. We talked through our fears. HIV was a big issue at the start, but its slowly fading into the background.
Learning about sex
As far as the sexual side of it, I'm still learning because I haven't had a lot of sex with guys since my diagnosis. Basically it took about three weeks to get him back and then it took two or three months to have any type of sex. Sex is a bit more planned rather than spontaneous.
It's more pleasurable and intimate now – it's brought us together. In the past I've had sex with guys and it has just been sex. When you're with someone (positive or negative) you really care about its more passionate.
I took Patrick to one of my doctor's appointments mainly for reassurance. We also wanted to find out more about viral load. He has patients who have made a decision, once the viral load is undetectable, not to use condoms. A low viral load would decrease our anxiety about passing on or getting HIV, but not in a way that changes how we have sex. We would still use condoms.
Sex happens – setting some rules
Building trust, honesty and setting some rules together are the keys to any relationship. It's about communicating from the beginning some relationship rules – getting a few things out in the open. Of course these may change over time, as our relationship grows and our needs change.
It's a monogamous relationship. However, if he meets a guy at a beat and has sex, just tell me. If it happened to me I'd tell him. You can get into situations where sex happens. I completely get it – I'm a gay guy too. It's not something I'd necessarily be happy with, but we need to be honest about it. We have spoken about this and come to an agreement. If our relationship goes down this path, it's condoms with everyone.
Each relationship will have different rules. It would be good to speak to other couples about how they negotiate their rules? How they deal with HIV and sex? We're not the only ones going through this.
HIV brings you together and makes your relationship stronger. By showing pos-neg relationships happen we take away the stigma.

text: Home Culture White and Black Kids: Different Trayvon Talks Regardless of your child's race, the week after the Zimmerman verdict is no time for colorblindness. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: July 17 2013 12:30 AM 0 Generic image (Thinkstock); Generic image (Thinkstock) (The Root) -- "I am remarried and now have a blended family with two teenage sons. One is black (10 years old) and one white (12 years old). In light of Trayvon Martin's death and the miscarriage of justice that surrounded it, what do I tell them? How much can children absorb at these ages and what role should race play in the discussion with each child? I have read a lot about what this means for black boys, but it feels strange and unequal to give two brothers different messages about this tragedy. Do they need to hear different things or is there a universal message? Do you have advice for how to address this with each of my children?" --Tailoring "The Talk" About Trayvon Any time there's a national tragedy (and I use that phrase intentionally here because I believe the entire narrative surrounding Trayvon Martin's death is just that serious when it comes to its effect on many Americans), one of the dilemmas in the aftermath involves how to discuss it with kids. You have an especially hard case because the takeaway from this story -- the killer of an unarmed black teen who profiled him because he was black getting completely off the hook -- can vary in its significance for people with different racial identities and worldviews. And the two for whom you're responsible, even if they're raised in the same household, will experience all the things that played into this story (identity, stereotypes, privilege, justice, just to name a few) in very different ways. Kristen Howerton, a professor of psychology at Vanguard University (and herself a mother of black and white children) gave me a few dos and don'ts that apply pretty broadly to raising sensitive topics with kids. They're useful as a start here. Don't: Talk to them before you process it yourself, while you're still "emotionally bleeding," she says, and "Make sure you as a parent are controlling the flow of information," versus letting them watch unlimited (and often, sensational and divisive) news coverage. Do: Help your boys understand that what happened to Trayvon Martin is a "possibility and not a probability." In other words, they should both know that not all nonblack men, not even all gun owners, behave like George Zimmerman. One way to drive this point home: "Go to a protest, point out a diverse crowd rallying to support justice and equality," she suggests. Those are the basics. But here's one more "don't" that's key in this particular case, according to Kristal Moore Clemons, a history and education scholar whose research focuses on topics including civil rights, critical race theory, social justice and education: Don't preach colorblindness. That's right. There may be a temptation to minimize the role race played in this story and in the reaction to it. After all, your kids are so adorable -- they're brothers of different races and they love each other, so you don't want to ruin their innocence, and inject the issue or racism into their life, right? Perhaps, but I sense from your question that you already know that's unrealistic. Clemons says colorblindness -- pretending not to see or notice race -- is exactly what's behind people completely "missing the point" about the larger significance of Zimmerman taking Trayvon's life, and you certainly don't want to perpetuate that.

My track should be done within a day or two, and I'll have a line prepared for Kitsuner, along with instructions, as soon as I'm finished.

The first two posts are in need of editing and a sig needs to be made too, but I'll get to this shortly. Fortunately, at least the video-making part is in good order and the project is fully running.

A self-assured Midwestern girl finds her confidence gradually crumbling as a barrage of terrifying visions prompt her to investigate a brutal murder in a supernatural thriller directed by Asif Kapadia and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. Joanna Mills (Gellar) is a successful sales representative for a local trucking company, and though her professional life is at an all-time high, her personal life couldn't be any more troubling at the moment. Estranged from her father (Sam Shepard) and menacingly stalked by an obsessive ex-boyfriend (Adam Scott), Joanna feels all alone in the world as her downward spiral rapidly begins to accelerate. When Joanna has a psychic experience in which she literally sees and feels the brutal murder of a female stranger, she soon begins to suspect that she has been targeted as the killer's next victim. Joanna isn't the type to go down without a fight, however, and as her increasingly vivid visions guide her ever closer to the victim's hometown, the secrets that will be revealed leave her wondering if the murder she is investigating may be her own. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A guy trying to do the right thing ends up taking part in one of the most morally dubious con games in history in this comedy. Steve Barker (Johnny Knoxville) is an office drone who wants to move up the corporate ladder, but when he asks his boss for a promotion, it comes with a condition -- Steve has to fire Stavi (Luis Avalos), who has been the firm's janitor for years. Steve decides to soften the blow by hiring Stavi to do his lawn and garden work. However, an accident robs Stavi of several of his fingers, and since he doesn't have medical insurance, Steve needs to find a way to pay for his surgery. Steve's uncle Gary (Brian Cox), a sleazy type who will bet on anything, also needs some fast cash, and comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme -- Steve was a track star in high school, and with the Special Olympics Championships coming up, all Steve has to do is pretend to be mentally challenged, enter the competition, and win the running events against six-time medalist Jimmy (Leonard Flowers). Gary will bet big on Steve, and the odds will allow them to clean up. Steve is appalled by the idea, but he needs the money badly enough to go along. However, Steve discovers that Jimmy is fast enough that he has little chance of beating him. However, Jimmy's colossal ego has made him many enemies among his fellow Special Olympians, and they're eager enough to see him taken down a peg that they help Steve train for the big event. Matters become all the more complicated when Steve becomes infatuated with Lynn (Katherine Heigl), a beautiful woman who has volunteered to help the challenged athletes, and would doubtless be furious if she found out what Steve was really doing. Produced by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, The Ringer was the first fiction directorial credit for Barry W. Blaustein; the story also parallels a 2004 episode of the animated television series South Park, "Up the Down Steroid." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

H.G. Bissinger's best-selling true-life account of a few months in the life of a high-school football team comes to the screen in this adaptation written and directed by Peter Berg. Odessa, TX, is an oil town in the western part of the state that's home to the Permian High School Panthers, the football team with the best winning record in the state. Odessa is a town with more than its share of problems; the decline of the oil business in Texas has set the city's economy into a tailspin, and racial tensions still erupt into violence on occasion. But football is the one thing that brings all the people of Odessa together, and on Friday nights every fall, as many as 20,000 people fill Permian's football stadium to watch Coach Gary Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton) and his boys try to lead the team to victory. As Gaines works to build a winning team in a town where victory is prized above all else, however, his players struggle through the emotional trials common to any teenager and ponder the fact that there is little future in their hometown...and that a championship season can be as much a burden as a triumph. Friday Night Lights also stars Lucas Black, Derek Luke, Jay Hernandez, and country singer-turned-actor Tim McGraw. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

One of the most infamous horror films of the 1970s is revisited in this remake produced by action-spectacle maven Michael Bay. In the summer of 1973, four teenagers -- Erin (Jessica Biel), Morgan (Jonathan Tucker), Kemper (Eric Balfour), and Andy (Mike Vogel) -- are driving through Texas on a road trip when they pick up a hitchhiker, Pepper (Erica Leerhsen), who is on her way to Mexico to score some dope. With Pepper adding to the party atmosphere, the other four decide to join her, but as they're passing through a small town in Travis County, they see a bloody and distraught girl (Lauren German) wandering by the side of the road, and after stopping to help her, they realize she's been involved in something horribly traumatic. As the kids try to help the girl piece together the story of what happened, they find themselves drawn into the web of a murderous family of subnormal cannibals. Inspired -- like the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, The Silence of the Lambs, and Deranged -- by the crimes of Wisconsin multiple murderer Ed Gein, this remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre also features narration by John Larroquette, who narrated the original film (it was his first screen credit), as well as supporting performances by R. Lee Ermey, Andrew Prine, and Andrew Bryniarski. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Texas Justice stars Peter Strauss as Cullen Davis, a millionaire businessman who falls in love with the tempestuous, lower-class Priscilla (Heather Locklear), a young woman with a checkered past and a temper to match. When their relationship goes sour, Cullen's jealousy flares up and he does the unthinkable -- but in the courtroom, he attempts to clear his name with the help of the grandstanding, high-powered attorney Richard Haynes (Dennis Farina). ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

A remake of the classic Robert Siodmak film noir Criss Cross, Steven Soderbergh's The Underneath follows much the same plot and narrative arc of the original, but expands the possibilities of its thriller structure to also explore the complexities and insecurities at the heart of modern relationships. Peter Gallagher stars as Michael, a compulsive gambler who returns to his Texas home for the wedding of his mother (Anjanette Comer). In his absence, his ex-wife Rachel (Alison Elliott) has married Tommy (William Fichtner), a ruthless local hood. Michael and Rachel soon resume their relationship, incurring Tommy's wrath. Out of their deceptions grows a plot to heist an armored car, a crime which requires the unwitting aid of Michael's stepfather (Paul Dooley) as well as a banker (Elisabeth Shue) with whom Michael shared a brief fling. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Two young lovers go on the run from the law after a convenience store robbery goes bad in this road movie. Love and a .45 centers on philosophically inclined thief Watty Watts (Gil Bellows), who believes in a little robbery but not real violence. An ill-advised collaboration with a crazed, drugged-out biker (Rory Cochrane) ends badly, however, forcing Watty to go on the run. His girlfriend Starlene (Renee Zellweger) joins him, and the two become media darlings thanks to television coverage of their flight from the law. First-time director C.M. Talkington's combination of violence and ironic attitude recalls both 1970s crime dramas and Quentin Tarantino's violent, quirky takes on the genre. However, the film's warmed-over feel may be redeemed by its irreverent tone and appealing performances, including a self-parodying appearance by Peter Fonda. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Witness to the Execution
Like the feature film Network (1976), this made-for-television drama scathingly satirizes an amoral, avaricious media. The story is set in 1999, a time the pay-per-view television industry is in a tailspin. It seems with over 500 available channels, audiences have become jaded with movies and sports. Enter up-and-coming executive Jessica Traynor (Sean Young) a member of the Tycom network team. It is her brilliant idea that her company can attract new customers by offering them a chance to witness a real execution on live television.

Here's a fictionalized account of Jack Ruby's perspective of the events leading up to his assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald. Danny Aiello appears convincingly as the nightclub-owner Ruby who (according to this telling) points the finger at an FBI conspiracy as the force behind the Kennedy assassination. The film includes some actual footage from Ruby's Oswald shooting. ~ Rovi

Trial: The Price of Passion, Part 1
Based on Clifford Irving's novel Trial, this 2-part TV movie is set amongst the Texas elite. Peter Strauss plays Warren Blackburn, a brilliant but discredited trial lawyer. His career seems due for redemption when judge Louise Parker (Jill Clayburgh), formerly Blackburn's bitterest foe, appoints him to defend a homeless man charged with murder. Simultaneously, Blackburn is hired to defend flashy nightclub entertainer Faye Boudreau (Beverly D'Angelo) in a separate murder trial. While investigating his clients' background, Blackburn uncovers several unsavory facts. Should he reveal what he knows and thereby risk everything -- including his life? Part one of Trial: The Price of Passion was first telecast May 3, 1992; part two was shown the following evening. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A Seduction in Travis County
"Saying 'no' to Melanie could lead to murder--and more." Thus did the CBS Network publicity department lure the viewer into watching the made-for-TV Seduction in Travis County. Based liberally on fact, the film stars Lesley Ann Warren as an accused murderer. Peter Coyote is the dynamic, married young attorney whom Warren twists around her little finger. He wins her acquittal, and also her eternal deadly vigilance. Coyote says "no" to Warren--and we all know where it will lead. With traces of the 1950 Barbara Stanwyck film The File on Thelma Jordon, Seduction in Travis County delivers a few chills but very little believable motivation for the characters' actions. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Stranger at My Door
The only relationship the 1991 made-for-TV Stranger at My Door bears to the 1956 theatrical film of the same name is in having a fugitive as a main character--actually, two fugitives. One of the runaways is Markie Post, a rich city woman escaping from her homicidal husband. She takes refuge in the barn of Texas dirt farmer Robert Urich. It turns out, that he, too, is on the run; he has been hiding from the law for years. The fact that Post is a murder witness will inevitably bring the cops to Urich's door--but if he throws her out, she will fall prey to her killer spouse. The violent final scenes of A Stranger at My Door segue into a happy ending for its stars. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Blaze to top of Queue
Blaze is a comic-strip re-telling of the curious late-1950s relationship between famed striptease artist Blaze Starr (Lolita Davidovitch) and Lousiana governor Earl Long (played in gorgeously flamboyant fashion by Paul Newman). Their romance is counterbalanced with the story of Long's efforts to win voting rights for Louisiana's black citizens. The governor's political enemies ruin his chances at re-election, then try to put him out of the way permanently with a trumped-up insanity charge. But with faithful Blaze at his side (and in close proximity to other portions of his anatomy), Long confounds his foes by winning a congressional seat. On the eve of this triumph, Earl Long dies, bringing this boisterous story to a sobering conclusion. Since the film is based on Blaze Starr's own reminiscences, one might prepare oneself with several grains of salt. The real Blaze Starr shows up early in the film as a stripper named Lily. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Shy People
Writer Jill Clayburgh wants to remove her coke-addicted daughter Martha Plimpton from the corruptive environs of Manhattan. When assigned to write an article about family trees, Clayburgh, with daughter in tow, heads to the bayous of Louisiana, there to seek out an elusive great-uncle--and, it is hoped, to give Plimpton a new start in life. Upon their arrival in the deep south, Clayburgh and Plimpton are confronted with the uncle's rugged, iron-willed wife Barbara Hershey and her four grown sons. The anticipated culture clash results in tragedy for all concerned. Wavering between the plausible and the outrageous, Shy People makes for fascinating, almost mesmerizing viewing. Released late in 1987 to qualify for the Academy Awards, the film was given a general release in mid-1988. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Three Seattle University athletic teams are among the 954 NCAA Division I squads honored by the NCAA with Public Recognition Awards for earning multi-year Academic Progress Rates (APRs) in the top 10 percent of their sport, announced Thursday by the national organization.
The Seattle U men's cross country team, women's tennis team, and women's outdoor track and field team placed in the top 10 percent among NCAA Division I schools within their sport with APRs between 978 and a perfect 1000. All three Redhawk squads honored for the 2010-11 academic campaign are receiving the Public Recognition Award for the second straight year.
The Redhawk men's cross country team, one of 58 squads honored in its sport, was the only team among either the Great West Conference or the Western Athletic Conference. Of the 93 women's tennis teams honored, Seattle U is the only Great West Conference school and joins fellow WAC newcomer Texas State on the list. The women's outdoor track and field squad was one of 35 honorees and the only one from either the Great West Conference or the new Western Athletic Conference.
"These teams prove that it is possible to not only balance academic and athletic commitment, as most student-athletes do; but to exceed standards and post outstanding academic scores," said NCAA President Mark Emmert in the organization's press release. "The drive and determination shown in the classroom and on the field by these men and women represent what it means to be an NCAA student-athlete."
Each year, the NCAA tracks the classroom performance of student-athletes on every Division I team through the annual scorecard of academic achievement, known as APR. The score measures eligibility and retention each semester or quarter and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. The most recent APRs are multi-year rates based on scores from the 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 academic years.
The Seattle University athletics department is about to complete the transition to full NCAA Division I status. The department will see 17 of its 20 sports move into the Western Athletic Conference July 1, 2012, with the men's soccer and men's swimming programs remaining in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation and the new women's rowing program competing as a Division I independent in 2012-13.

This trip is my first impression of the 2005 red and white Burgundies. But it is an impression, and it's important to remember that these are still unfinished wines. They have another 7 or 8 months to mature in barrel before being assembled for bottling.

Don't do it, Senators. Yet again, an attempt is in the works to roll back protections of our streams and rivers — along with the critters who live in them and communities that rely on them — from harmful pesticides.
This time the push to weaken our national water law takes the form of two nearly identical amendments to the Senate's version of the Farm Bill (#1100 and #1103). The rollback effort first showed up as a proposed amendment to the China Currency Bill (no really!) in the fall of 2011. It's since been introduced several times as a stand-alone law, and showed up in a coordinated media push by conservative lawmakers. This is a bad idea that needs to be shut down once and for all.
Last week, our colleagues at NRDC released a compelling new report that highlights just how broken the pesticide approval process really is.
The report spotlights the problem of so-called "conditional" registrations, a streamlined approval process that pesticide manufacturers use to rush their products to market — while EPA turns a blind eye.
As I cross Cesar Chavez Avenue on my way to work each morning, I'm greeted by murals with the visionary labor organizer's portrait. When I reach the PAN office, he smiles down at me from a poster hanging prominently in the hall.
This week marks the 14th annual National Farmworker Awareness celebrations, and I've been contemplating the Chavez legacy. We know that as a parent as well as an activist, he shared our concerns about how pesticides harm children through the food they eat, the water they drink and the air they breathe.
Access to information can be a powerful thing. The pesticide industry understands this, which must be why they're fighting tooth and nail to block — for the third time — a commonsense law that would require pesticide use reporting in Maryland.
But the people of Maryland are fighting back. A strong coalition has formed around the "Smart on Pesticides" law, which is being considered right now by state legislators. They're making the case that children, communities and the precious Chesapeake Bay will all be better protected if decisionmakers know what pesticides are being used and where. A very simple — and very smart — idea.
I have some very good news: EPA is banning a group of rat poisons known to be especially dangerous for children, pets and wildlife. Finally.
Apparently, the agency got tired of waiting for the manufacturer of d-CON mouse- and rat-killing products to voluntarily follow their safety guidelines. Instead, UK-based Reckitt Benckiser was spending its energy pushing back with an army of lawyers and lobbyists. This time, their tactics backfired.

New proposal would require senior care background checks in NY
Posted at: 01/07/2013 6:28 AM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
A new proposal would require criminal background checks to keep sex offenders from landing jobs at senior care facilities.
The bill by Assemblyman James Tedisco and Sen. Kathy Marchione would require senior facilities to consult the state's sex offender registry for all employees.
Current law doesn't require the background check, which can be done at no charge to the facilities.
The Republicans' proposal comes after a recent sex crime at an Albany County home for adults. A convicted sex offender working at the facility is accused of improperly touching a 91-year-old woman.
The bill by Tedisco of Schenectady County and Marchione of Saratoga County could be considered in the new legislative session beginning this month.

Comment: How London 2012 Olympics legacy can inspire now generation of Bromley sportswomen
10:42am Friday 7th September 2012 in Bromley
HEAD of Bromley High School Louise Simpson comments on the benefits of sport in schools and how she hopes the Olympics will be an inspiration to girls.
Wow! How fantastic it has been to be so close to the Olympic action this summer. With many of us having personal links with Games-makers, athletes, officials and those who have worked on the Olympic site, it really has been a privilege to be in London in 2012.
I was not surprised to see the first medal going to a woman, neither was I surprised to see so many women winning, nor so many of them coming from independent school backgrounds but I was delighted nonetheless.
The impact that women's sport has made over this Olympics has been fantastic and, I hope, an inspiration to all the youngsters in our schools, but particularly the girls.
There is huge social pressure for girls to conform to norms both at school and in other areas of life; they need to look fantastic, work hard, be high achievers in the workplace, and, unfortunately, to be able to do this well they need to out-compete the boys and men around them.
One thing that has shone through from the sportswomen in the Olympics is their enormous confidence in themselves and in their ability to fulfil their dreams.
They have shown that hard work and commitment pays off and, where there have been disappointments, they have learnt to take those knocks and spills, pick themselves up and head for the next challenge. There are so many parallels in other areas of life and work, and I believe that this begins at school.
Sport is an integral part of an excellent education and underpins many other facets of success. Pupils who compete in sport at a high level are often high achievers elsewhere too.
They have confidence to push themselves, they learn teamwork, resilience, determination, self-discipline and the need to commit themselves and many of these are transferable into their academic work and their careers beyond.
It is a great shame that the state system has not supported school sport in the same way that independent schools have; with fewer facilities available to them and, crucially, less dedicated curriculum time for sport and fewer well qualified teachers, particularly in primary and junior schools.
This is when the talent is first identified and when enthusiasm can be harnessed and nurtured, ready for a glittering career perhaps, and certainly a love of sport and the associated health benefits.
At Bromley High School we are lucky to have 23 acres of grounds, an astro-turf, swimming pool, sports hall and all the associated hard courts for a wide range of games and activities. We are lucky too to be able to foster a love of sport in our girls from an early age and to be able to support that with our excellent teachers.
With a national level fencer, rounders player and runner in the school at present, and a large number who represent the county and region in a variety of sports, we are very happy to be able to watch their progress and we hope that, perhaps in future Olympic Games, we will see them winning medals. I certainly hope so.
