PAWTUCKET — Change can be scary...especially if it affects one's ability to get to work, school, or some other important destination.
The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) has embarked on a plan to change many of its bus routes statewide, and officials say they are trying to do it without causing hardship to riders.
In an effort that began last summer, RIPTA has been doing a "Comprehensive Operational Analysis," a study of where riders live and work, how each bus route is performing, and where changes could be made to improve service.
Proposed changes can be found on the "projects" page of RIPTA's Web site at http://www.ripta.com/coa-project-documents [3]. According to RIPTA officials, each scenario is designed to work within RIPTA's existing budget. The public is invited to go online to review and comment on two alternative service scenarios, telling RIPTA which ideas they like best.
Included among RIPTA's proposed changes are efforts to consolidate stops, consolidate routes that duplicate service, expand service to new areas, and discontinue some poorly-utilized services. RIPTA also wants to improve its hubs and develop new "super stops" where routes come together, and better integrate bus and commuter rail services.
One development that RIPTA officials say will provide faster and more frequent service is the "Rapid Bus" line, which makes use of synchronized traffic signals. Plans call for the "R-line," as it will be known, to combine Route 11 Broad Street in Providence with Route 99. The R-line is slated to be rolled out in January 2014. "It's going to be great," Pettine promised.
Proposed changes
Among the changes under consideration in the local area are the Route 76 -- Central Avenue being consolidated with Route 80 Armistice Boulevard to form an East Pawtucket circulator route that would operate from the Pawtucket Transit Center via Walcott Street and Armistice Boulevard.
Another important change would be Route 71 -- Broad Street being extended southward along Pawtucket Boulevard to the Ocean State Job Lot. That would replace Route 99 service along Pawtucket Avenue, which will be discontinued with the implementation of a new "Rapid Bus Line" service. The Lincoln Manor service would be discontinued.
Another proposal would consolidate Route 72 Weeden Street/Central Falls with Route 53 Smithfield Avenue, where service would operate between the Pawtucket Transit center and Smithfield Avenue along Route 72's existing alignment. It would then operate directly on Smithfield Avenue (bypassing Power Road). Also, services to the front doors of Wilfred and Coats Manors would be discontinued due to low ridership.
On Route 75 Dexter Street/Lincoln Mall, service would operate consistently between the Lincoln Mall and the Pawtucket Transit Center every 60 minutes throughout the day. However, due to low ridership, services to FGX International and North Central Industrial Park would be discontinued.
On Route 77 Benefit Street/Broadway, the route's outer end would be shifted to the South Attleboro MBTA Station to provide commuter rail connections. A second scenario would also combine Route 77 with Route 42 Hope Street and a shortened Route 1 and would operate between the South Attleboro Station and Shaw's on Warwick Neck Avenue in Cranston.
For Route 79 Columbus Avenue, one scenario has Route 79 continuing to operate as it does now. A second idea is to merge Route 79 with Route 35 Rumford/Newport, which would operate between the Pawtucket Transit Center and Wampanoag Plaza in East Providence via Columbus Avenue, Newport Avenue and Pawtucket Avenue.
On Route 78 Beverage Hill Avenue/Newport Avenue, one scenario keeps the route mostly unchanged, except for dropping front-door service to Rumford Towers, service along Pleasant Street to the Massachusetts state line and along New Road due to low ridership. A second plan would change service in East Providence, where, between the intersection of Wilson Avenue and Pawtucket Avenue and Six Corners, Route 78's alignment would be swapped with that of Route 35 Rumford/Newport.
According to Amy Pettine, RIPTA's director of planning and marketing, a final set of recommendations will be presented to RIPTA's Board of Directors at this month's board meeting. The next step will be to hold public hearings on the new routes to share the changes with those who use the service. "Most riders will see improvements, but there will be some riders who will see changes in services," said Pettine.
Pettine said public input is helpful, such as that provided by a manager of the Cottage Street Stop & Shop, who spoke about transportation for area customers and others who want to see a link with the MBTA station in South Attleboro.
Pettine said that with limited resources, RIPTA officials are trying to improve the service along its key corridors and its more regional routes by looking at ridership numbers and where the majority of people are trying to go. They are also analyzing the regional connecting needs that are accessed through a transfer to a major hub such as Kennedy Plaza, downtown Pawtucket and the Newport Gateway.
Pettine said that the Pawtucket bus hub remains an important part of RIPTA's overall plans, as it is the second biggest hub after Kennedy Plaza. She acknowledged there have been conversations with Pawtucket city officials, including Mayor Donald Grebien, about moving the hub from its present location on Roosevelt Avenue to another site around the corner on High Street, but said this plan is still being looked at.
Also in the mix is a possible reconfiguration of Kennedy Plaza, said Pettine. She noted that Providence Mayor Angel Taveras has cited "reinventing Kennedy Plaza" as one of his administration's goals. His proposals include reducing the number of buses to make the area more of a "mixed use," pedestrian-friendly space.
"RIPTA wants to be part of the conversation. We're going to be looking at where the buses stop, where they reconnect, and where we operate in the plaza. We're also considering things like safety, security, cleanliness, the ease of use of the system," she said.

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - The Minnesota Twins used the long ball to snap a
six-game losing streak. Trevor Plouffe, Ryan Doumit and Pedro Florimon
each homered off New York starter Phil Hughes in Saturday's 4-1 win at
Yankee Stadium. Samuel Deduno (5-4) limited the Yankees to one run on six hits
and three walks in seven strong innings. After the clubs traded runs early,
Deduno and Hughes (4-9) settled into a pitchers' duel. The score remained
tied until the seventh, when Doumit hit a line drive to right field for a solo
Final Score: Toronto 7, Baltimore 3
Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - J.P. Arencibia had the go-ahead, two-run hit
in the bottom of the sixth, as Toronto downed Baltimore, 7-3, in the second
test of a three-game set from Camden Yards. Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run
home run, while Colby Rasmus and Adam Lind each contributed two hits, an
RBI and a run scored for the Blue Jays, who shook off a loss in Friday's
opener. Aaron Loup (4-3) turned in 1 1/3 scoreless innings in relief of Todd
Redmond for the win. Redmond lated only four innings, charged with four hits
and three runs with six strikeouts. Brian Roberts doubled twice and drove
in a run, with Chris Davis and Adam Jones both contributing solo homers
for the Orioles, whose three-game win streak ended. Jason Hammel (7-6) was
tagged in defeat for 10 hits and six runs over six-plus frames.
Final Score: Tampa Bay 4, Houston 3
St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Luke Scott went 2-for-4 with a homer and
three RBI to lead the Tampa Bay Rays to a 4-3 comeback win over the Houston
Astros at Tropicana Field. Scott belted a two-run homer in the fifth inning
and delivered a tie-breaking RBI single in the sixth as Tampa Bay overcame an
early 3-0 deficit and bounced back from a 2-1 loss in Friday's opener of this
three-game series. Wil Myers added a pair of hits and scored twice to help
the Rays earn their ninth victory in 10 games, while Roberto Hernandez
settled down after being hit hard in the first inning and turned in a solid
effort on the mound. Hernandez (5-10) allowed three runs in the opening
frame but blanked the Astros over the duration of his six-inning outing,
with three Tampa Bay relievers protecting the one-run lead the rest of the
way. Lucas Harrell (5-10) was hung with the loss after permitting the
deciding run in 1 1/3 innings in relief of Dallas Keuchel, who surrendered
three runs on six hits through the initial 5 1/3 frames. Brett Wallace had a
two-run homer for Houston and Jason Castro finished 2-for-4 in the setback,
the Astros' 11th in 14 games.
Final Score: Cleveland 5, Kansas City 3
Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Lonnie Chisenhall clubbed his first career
grand slam to back a solid start from Scott Kazmir, as the Cleveland Indians
downed the Kansas City Royals, 5-3, Saturday in the second contest of a three-
game series at Progressive Field. Jason Kipnis finished 3-for-3 with an RBI
and a run scored, while Kazmir (5-4) held the Royals to two runs on four
hits and three walks while striking out six over 6 1/3 innings to earn the
victory. Chris Perez pitched a perfect ninth to nail down his 12th save of
the season and secure Cleveland's third straight victory. Jeremy Guthrie
(8-7) was touched for all five runs on eight hits and three walks over seven
frames to absorb the loss. Alcides Escobar plated a pair of runs, while
Miguel Tejada added an RBI and a run scored for the Royals, who have lost four
straight games.
Final Score: Texas 7, Detroit 1
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Mitch Moreland and Adrian Beltre clubbed two-
run homers, while Max Scherzer's unbeaten string came to a crashing halt, as
Texas topped Detroit, 7-1, in the middle test of a three-game set. Scherzer
(13-1) lasted six full frames, charged with eight hits and four runs,
walking two and fanning six for his first loss since last September 23
against Minnesota. The right-hander went 19 consecutive regular-season starts
without losing, but fell short of matching Roger Clemens' 14-0 start to the
1986 campaign for the Red Sox. A.J. Pierzynski added two RBI, and Nelson
Cruz finished with four hits and scored twice for the Rangers, who snapped a
three-game skid. Derek Holland (8-4) tossed seven innings of five-hit ball,
allowing one run and five walks against seven strikeouts. A fourth-inning RBI
single from Hernan Perez was all the offense for the Tigers.
Final Score: Oakland 3, Boston 0
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - A.J. Griffin stymied Boston's potent offense by
firing eight outstanding innings, enabling the Oakland Athletics to get back
on track with a 3-0 win over the Red Sox in a matchup of AL division leaders
from the O.co Coliseum. Griffin (8-6) scattered six hits and walked just
one before turning things over to Grant Balfour, with the fiery closer
finishing off the shutout and stopping his club's two-game skid that
included a 4-2 setback in Friday's opener of this three-game series. The duo
received offensive support from Derek Norris, who broke a scoreless tie with
a solo homer in the fifth inning, as well as RBI singles from Yoenis Cespedes
and Coco Crisp later on. Jon Lester (8-6) was charged with all three
Oakland runs over an otherwise- solid 6 1/3 innings, but was handed his
sixth loss in eight decisions due to his teammates' inability to come through
in the clutch. The Red Sox stranded eight baserunners, four of which were
left in scoring position, and went 0-for-5 in such situations to have a
four-game win streak halted.
Final Score: Seattle 6, LA Angels of Anaheim 0
Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Felix Hernandez pitched eight scoreless innings
and the Seattle Mariners handled the Angels, 6-0, on Saturday. Hernandez
(10-4) gave up seven hits while striking out four for the Mariners, who have
won the first two contests of this three-game series. The right- hander
reached double-digit first-half wins for the first time in his career. Justin
Smoak hit a three-run homer and knocked in four runs for Seattle, which has
homered in 21 consecutive games. The last AL team to homer in at least 21
consecutive games was the Texas Rangers when they set the MLB record with a HR
in 27 straight contests during the 2002 campaign. Angels starter Jered
Weaver (3-5) allowed four runs on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings to take the

The prevailing wage law requires non-union contractors bidding for public works projects to pay union-scale wages and benefits.
The Republican governor told reporters that trying to repeal prevailing wages is a "very divisive" issue. Snyder said he's instead focusing on getting support for his new state budget and ensuring changes affecting the state's largest health insurer get to his desk.
House Republicans say state agencies, universities and school districts could save money if they didn't have to pay prevailing wages.
Snyder said a right-to-work law wasn't on his agenda because it is too divisive. But he ultimately got behind it in December 2012.

The former Arsenal, Barcelona and France international player, Emmanuel Petit, has become a Homeless World Cup Global Ambassador supporting the vision of football changing homeless people's lives.
Emmanuel Petit was one of the main supporters of the 2011 Homeless World Cup football tournament held in Paris last summer. He has traditionally been involved with social projects in France and fell in love with the Homeless World Cup and its worldwide impact during the Paris event.
Petit said: "Football is a powerful influence. When you take someone from the street, put them in a square football pitch, in a team where there are rules, referees and team mates – that's life too, that's society. The players have to respect themselves, each other and the referees."
"I truly believe that sport and football is very important for the human being and that is why I decided to be an Ambassador for the Homeless World Cup."
The ex-Arsenal and Barcelona footballer played 63 times for his country and scored the third goal, one of them in France's 3-0 victory in the final of the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final against Brazil at home.
Follow this link to see a recent interview to Emmanuel Petit during the Paris 2011 event.

Souvenir fan of the Royal Fireworks, hand-coloured etching on paper, with ivory sticks
London, 1749
In October 1748 a treaty was signed at Aix-la-Chapelle ending the War of Austrian Succession. The war - sparked off in 1740 by Maria Theresa's claim to inherit the Habsburg territories from her father Emperor Charles VI - was an episode in the jockeying for position by European powers that continued throughout the century. Britain's main interest was to gain access to and maintain lucrative trade routes to the Americas that were controlled by France and Spain. The treaty failed to settle matters and skirmishing continued in the early 1750s, finally emerging again into all-out war in 1756.
The official celebration of the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle took place on 17 April 1749 in the northern part of St James's Park, now called Green Park. A huge temporary structure was erected for a firework display organised by the famous Italian pyrotechnist, Giovanni Niccolo Servandoni in collaboration with the Royal Laboratory at Woolwich. £8,000 was spent and 10,000 rockets were let off, but the evening ended in chaos when one wing of the structure caught fire. The most enduring success of the day was the overture specially composed by Handel for the celebrations - the Music for the Royal Fireworks.

The reason for our taking on this massive challenge.......
Over half of all children in Sierra Leone are illiterate, but they want to learn; education is a top priority for the government but lack of resources and funding means that children have to pay to go to school and even pay for the furniture that they sit on! Even then, the schools do not have the government funding needed to buy text books and learning resources.
A fantastic charity called CODEP is spearheding a major initiative to create libraries in every school in Sierra Leone. It works in partnership with another brilliant charity called Greenworks who ship across books and furniture to equip these libraries - so far 100 libraries have been created and over a quarter of a million books are now in place where before there were none.
Our aim is to raise funds for Green Works in order that they can ship more furniture and books. It costs £5,500 to send a container of 50,000 books and furniture to store them in. Help make that difference to the people of Sierra Leone by donating now.

Green-Works is currently helping rebuild Sierra Leone's schools, orphanages, libraries and health centres following the devastation of civil war. Literacy rates are amongst the lowest in the world, only 30% of children can go to school. Classes are up to 100 as 49% of the population is UNDER 16. Education is vital; there are no desks or chairs to use. £5 enables Green-Works to provide school equipment for one child - for their entire school life. Green-Works donate and exports redundant furniture, to a range of infrastructure projects in the developing world, including an orphanage in Romania; NGO projects in Benin, Gambia and Ghana, even equipping an entire dentistry hospital in Khartoum.

Hi all,
I have a 59 plate 2.0 tdci which will only start after 7-10 attempts. It has already been to the garage and there were no diagnostics and fuel pressure was fine. It has 70k on the clock and always fully serviced. At the garage they did a re calibration which worked for a day but now back to poor starting. There is no issue once started and engine running normal. Any ideas?

Is it worse when its very cold outside? or does it not matter?
Posted 13 March 2013 - 09:18 PM
Doesn't seem to matter. Even after a warm engine then off it can struggle but inconsistent. I heard of an air valve flap that maybl cause a prob but the garage said that was okay, not sure if they did look though

DMF issue - very common on the TDCi.
Most owners live with it - fixing it is £expensive.

Dr. Harris Among Physicians, Nurses and Hospital Staff Volunteering for Humanitarian Missions
The before photo is tragic: the faces of a father and son, both victims of genetic cleft palate birth defects, badly deformed.
The after photo brings tears to your eyes: two almost handsome people, their faces transformed by a team of plastic surgeons from the U.S. on a humanitarian mission.
Among the 25 medical specialists and volunteers participating in the 11th Rotaplast Mission in Barquisemeto, Venezuela was our own Diane Harris, M.D., a family practice specialist at the North Coast Family Healthy Center.
The Rotaplast International Mission
Rotaplast International is a non-profit, humanitarian organization founded in 1992 as a world community service project of the Rotary Club of San Francisco by Dr. Angelo Capozzi and Peter Lagarias. Recognized by Charity Navigator as a 4 star charity, Rotaplast is committed to changing lives through reconstructive surgery and has performed over 13,000 surgeries in countries around the world. The Venezuela Rotaplast team, made up of medical specialists and volunteers who are either Rotarians or spouses of Rotarians, descended on the university hospital (Hospital Central universitario Dr. Antonio Maria Pineda) on Feb. 2, 2010 and worked non-stop for 10 tens performing 110 surgeries
"The team not only performed badly needed surgeries, but also provided food and social services support to more than 200 patients and their families," explained Dr. Dr. Harris, who was the surgical instrument sterilization specialist. While she cares for pediatric patients on the Mendocino Coast, the Rotaplast missions only allow pediatricians, anesthesiologists and surgeons to manage patients. Having completed a surgery rotation in medical school, Dr. Harris won the critical role of managing instrument sterilization to avoid infections and potential complications.
Although Rotarians, like Dr. Harris, pay their airfare for Rotaplast Missions, meals and lodging are covered with funds donated by U.S. and local Rotary Clubs. The Venezuelan government also helped support the mission.
How Patients Are Selected
According to Dr. Harris, the host country (her last mission was in Guatemala) does a lot of work to find people by placing ads on TV and radio and contacting schools, social workers and pediatricians for referrals.
In all, more than 200 people showed up for screening. Some were rejected because of disease or illnesses that might become life-threatening complications during or after surgery. Other cases were considered too complex, requiring surgery at highly specialized centers with cranio-facial experts.
"Not everyone gets healed," said Dr. Harris. "But the missions change lives, especially for those who have been ostracized because they were born with birth defects."
One Case Stands Out
A 20-year-old Guatemalan man born with a significant cleft palate and told by his father is was God's punishment and could never be cured was one case Dr. Harris will never forget.
"The rules of the Guatemala mission, which was conducted at a military hospital, were that no one over 16 years would be allowed," She recalls. "When the boy's employer brought him in and told us what the father had said we all agreed he could be registered as age 16. After the surgery, he was handed a mirror. The look on his face was so amazing. He was so happy. It's one I'll never forgot."
Long Days, Carefree Nights
The team started each day at 6:15 a.m., traveling to the hospital for breakfast and then starting surgeries and patient care by 7:30 p.m., working until all the scheduled surgeries were complete.
While dramatic before and after pictures document the team's good works, other photos and video show enjoying after work play: among them a high-powered plastic surgeon whose main hobby is playing drummer in a rock band.
More Benefits
Besides the patients, others benefitted as well: local doctors received training in performing cleft palate plastic surgery. Young U.S. anesthesiologist residents (still in training) got experience and a taste of what it's like to deliver first world medicine to the benefit of the poor.
"Many of the Venezuelan surgeons focus on body sculpting," said Dr. Harris. "That's much more lucrative than working essentially for free to help the less fortunate. Our mission surgeons provide a good role model."
What's Next?
For patients: local doctors will provide follow-up.
For Dr. Harris: she has signed up for three missions – one to San Salvador was cancelled – over the past three years. "I'll definitely participate in future missions," she said. It's part of her Rotary commitment to put Service Above Self.

On the occasion of the Berlinale KODAK Entertainment Imaging hosted its traditional Filmmakers' Reception. More than a thousand customers from across the globe attended the reception, which took place at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Embassy in Berlin. This event was a huge success. People came from Germany, Europe, and from overseas. The guests appreciated the place and the atmosphere. Kodak offered an event photography with the latest Kodak Digital Cameras and Printers and prints were given out as souvenir to the guests.

Film. No Compromise., the multi-media campaign from Kodak Entertainment Imaging, was the key message at the event. "This compelling program not only focuses on the creative benefits of shooting on film but also tackles the digital hype head on by attacking the myth that digital capture is always, "cheaper, faster and good enough," said Klaus-Georg Hafner, Marketing Communications manager for Kodak's Entertainment Imaing in the German, Austrian, Swiss, and Nordic Cluster.

Red Nose Day
Way back in 1985, Four Weddings creator Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry got together with assorted comedy mates to found Comic Relief, and put on the very first Red Nose Day. Designed as the comedians' answer to the recent fundraising efforts of Band Aid, Live Aid and the like, I remember it as a slightly amateurish affair, which more than made up for in enthusiasm what it lacked in finesse. But, that was 28 years ago?! Really?! Wow, that makes me feel slightly ancient!
In the past 28 years, Comic Relief has raised an incredible amount of money, according to 2011 figures, over £620m! Love it or hate it, that's an amazing amount of money for charities at home and overseas.
Although the line up changes every year, as do the stunts, there are some regular events we have come to expect from the biennial event. For example, a bunch of supposedly serious TV newsreaders will be brought on to do a dance or otheriwse send themselves up; Jonathan Ross will make some slightly dubious references to someone's personal life; some wag will appear in a bathtub full of food (baked beans are so last year don't you know!); and there will invaariably be some sort of technical hitch, where they will hand over to Cardiff only to see Edinburgh Castle in the background, or worse Alan Partridge or someone will step on a cable and blow up a plug, something like that anyway!
If you are already gearing up for the succesion of regular events, and more gems like Jessie J doing something annoying (i.e. just by being there) or Lenny Henry making a non-funny joke, then why not plaay along using this bingo card from Ladbrokes Bingo. You could even turn it into a drinking game, but of course, if anyone asks, I didn't say that! Great way to get involved though - oh, and make sure you donate some money too! I'm watching you!!

text: BBC – Australia's High Court has stopped the authorities from deporting a boat-load of asylum seekers to Malaysia. Lawyers for the group of refugees argued that their transfer to Malaysia would be illegal. Judges ruled there was a "sufficiently serious question", and ordered a halt to such transfers until a full hearing can be held later this month. The ruling could jeopardise Australia's deal to send 800 asylum seekers to Malaysia over the next four years. Read Article

2) Respect yourself. In all you do and say, be a woman of class and honor. You will not get respect until you respect yourself.
3) Follow your dreams, never let a relationship, whether it be friendship, or love, rob you of what you dream.
4) Be independent, make sure of your own finances, health, and career. Always have a way of escape - financially, physically, and emotionally.
5) Beware when you find yourself rescuing a man, whether financially or emotionally. They will use your motherly instincts to manipulate you and guilt to force your hand to provide for them.
6) Every gift has a price, you may not see it at first, but it's there. Don't take lavish gifts from men, they will pressure you with it. Earn what you want on your own.
8) Listen to your heart, when you feel something is wrong, something is. These are your gifts, empathy and insight.
9) Precipitating a crisis to keep a man from leaving is a grave error. Getting pregnant, getting "sick", using his secrets to threaten him, these will all backfire on you.
10) Pick the things you will and won't deal with. Every man will have some quality that will drive you crazy, a fault that may or may not be forgivable. Choose what faults you will or won't deal with BEFORE you're in a relationship and stick to your decision.
These things will help keep you safe and happy, and will prevent your dad from having to kill someone...
Love you girls,

Why study astronomy?
Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences — people have long been fascinated by the beauty and wonder of the night sky.
Are you one of those people? Are you interested in the births and deaths of stars, black holes, meteors and asteroids?
Can you imagine time stretching back 15 billion years to the Big Bang — the birth of the universe?
Astronomy is the branch of physics that studies celestial objects — stars, planets, comets, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies — as well as phenomena beyond the earth such as cosmic background radiation.
Astronomers strive to understand the universe. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
What can you do with a degree in Astronomy & Astrophysics?
Some students pursue post-graduate studies in astronomy and astrophysics in order to become professional astronomers while others may choose careers in teaching, planetarium work or in space-related activities in industry or government.
Some graduates have chosen careers in other disciplines such as geophysics, atmospheric physics, aerospace studies, remote sensing, and computer science.

Presented by:Steven Ziegler, Ph.D. Director, Immunology Program Benaroya Research Institute
Dr. Ziegler's research is focused on the factors that control normal immune regulation, as well as those that contribute to disease development and progression. His laboratory is currently engaged in two areas of investigation: the genes and cell populations that are involved in controlling autoimmune-type responses, and the role of novel factor (known as TSLP), that is a key initiator of allergic inflammation.

London morning commuters got a surprise on Tuesday (December 11) when they were greeted with the sight of a giant rubber duck sailing up the Thames River. The 50ft-high duck set sail from the Canary Wharf business district in the city's south east. It was towed behind a small tugboat. The iconic Tower Bridge was raised to allow it through. The giant duck took to the river as part of a PR stunt for an online bingo site which is staging a promotion in December encouraging more Britons to have more fun. That's a welcome explanation for onlookers who thought they were quacking up.

A True Champion Of Grand Plans And Tiny Details; With the Zeal of an Athlete, Doctoroff Pursues Olympics
Published: May 16, 2004
(Page 2 of 3)
He began at the University of Chicago Law School and in the summer before he transferred to New York University (his wife got a marketing job in Manhattan), Mr. Doctoroff found his calling. At the Philadelphia law firm of Dechert, Price & Rhoads, Mr. Doctoroff was working on the legal aspects of the attempted complex hostile takeover of Getty Oil, when he realized he was more stimulated by finance, and its opportunities. He wanted to make a lot of money quickly, he said, to provide him the freedom to choose another path later. He checked the statistics first.
At the N.Y.U. placement office he discovered the odds of making partner at a New York law firm were 30 to 1. ''I have a lot of confidence in myself,'' he said, ''but I'm not going to trust my fate to odds of 1 in 30.''
He said he thus ''faked his way'' into an analyst's job at Lehman Brothers.
Not long after being assigned to work on a deal involving the Texas billionaire Robert M. Bass, Mr. Doctoroff left Lehman Brothers to work full time investing Mr. Bass's money. It was high stakes, and he threw himself into it.
As a partner in Oak Hill Capital, Mr. Doctoroff managed Bass investments totaling hundreds of millions of dollars in hotels, drug stores and real estate.
A former colleague recalled that after Oak Hill hired a consulting firm to conduct a market analysis for a deal, Mr. Doctoroff quietly conducted his own research. When the consultants presented their findings, Mr. Doctoroff pointed out so many flaws that the firm was forced to redo its analysis for free.
Many of Oak Hill's deals, like its investment in the $3 billion merger of CapStar Hotel Company and American General Hospitality Corporation in 1998, generated huge payouts for Mr. Doctoroff and his partners.
Despite a few flops, the easygoing Midwesterner was becoming an aggressive Wall Streeter, at least in the eyes of some people who did business with him. When a Bass investment with a Florida homebuilder went awry, Mr. Doctoroff -- who had no initial involvement -- opened a brutal legal battle with his partners against the homebuilder to recover the money.
''They descended on this place with an army of attorneys, an army of staff, they used the biggest and most expensive hotels, cars, restaurants, the whole nine yards,'' said Thomas Tompkins, the homebuilder.
Grabbing an Idea
John Monsky, the general counsel at Oak Hill, said Mr. Doctoroff first mentioned his Olympics epiphany during the summer of 1994.
Mr. Doctoroff had just attended the World Cup soccer semifinal at Giants Stadium, where Italy defeated Bulgaria, and was struck by the spirit of the international community that filled the Meadowlands, he said.
''I took a very deep breath, because with Dan, when he grabs hold of an idea, he does not let go,'' Mr. Monsky said.
With the help of a young temp, the two acquired the formal Olympic bid books from the 1992 Barcelona games, Atlanta's books before its 1996 games, and even examined New York's failed bid from 1977 to host the 1984 Games.
When Mr. Doctoroff quickly agreed to pay $40,000 for a helicopter photographer to shoot possible competition sites in the city, Mr. Monsky said he knew the game was on.
Over the years, Mr. Doctoroff made the rounds of New York political and business circles, although some leaders took longer than others to convince. Seth Abraham, then president of HBO Sports, said he declined to meet Mr. Doctoroff for three years.
''But Dan didn't give up,'' Mr. Abraham said. ''What I appreciated was his finesse.''
Today, Mr. Abraham is on the board of NYC2012, the nonprofit organization Mr. Doctoroff founded and financed with $4 million of his own money to develop the Olympic bid. Bob Beamon, Mr. Doctoroff's Olympic muse, also serves on the board.
Mr. Beamon, born in Jamaica, Queens, and the man who shattered the world record in the long jump at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, likened Mr. Doctoroff's drive to that of an athlete: ''He had a pipe dream. There were some who didn't believe or they thought he's crazy.''
What once seemed to be overwhelming issues in staging a New York City Olympics -- security, transportation and political gridlock -- Mr. Doctoroff overcame with attention to details.
On Nov. 3, 2002, the United States Olympic Committee chose New York over San Francisco to represent the nation. There were grumbles among some other United States cities that New York benefited from the ''sympathy factor'' after the Sept. 11 attack, and from the presence on the Olympic committee of Roland W. Betts, a New York City developer who worked with Mr. Doctoroff in rebuilding ground zero.
The U.S.O.C. investigated and said it found no evidence that Mr. Betts had a conflict of interest.
U.S.O.C. members said at the time that it was mostly Mr. Doctoroff's commanding leadership that convinced them. Speaking without notes and integrating a crisp PowerPoint presentation with humorous clips from New York film stars, he broke down the contents of New York's bid proposal.
He explained the Olympic ''X plan,'' which 39 of the 40 venues along intersecting transportation axes of the city's rail and waterways with the Olympic Village in Queens at its center.
He played up New York as a financial and communications center. He even allayed concerns about the weather, noting the 154 combined home games the Yankees and Mets had played in the summer.
''Only four were rained out,'' he said.
Fun, and a Little Anger, Too

Grumping about the Neverending session
The music? Yes, that's that Neverending Session you're hearing. 'Neverending' Session! More like 'Everlasting' Session, if you asks me!
They're everywhere, those musicians are a plague all by themselves. I keep thinking we should get a man in with a ferret. Squawking and squeaking away on those things, you'll run into 'em on the landings, in the kitchen, in the nooks of the upstairs hallway, in the offices, even in the library; gods' little green apples, hasn't anyone told them a library is supposed to be quiet?
Mr. Mackenzie doesn't help much either, I think he likes it. Miss Liath has more sense, but she's hardly ever around these days, more's the pity, off gallivanting 'round time and space gathering up manuscripts and books.
But then, no one much dares to disturb Miss Liath from her work, I think including Mr. Mackenzie. She just gives a look at one with those gray eyes, and people simply creep away to let her get on with it.
Those musicians. Always leaving bottles and glasses and plates behind 'em, too, as if us staff have nothing better to do than clean up after 'em, like. And the smokers? Well, leastways the building and grounds are non-smoking in these modern days, or the rugs would be full of ash as well as crumbs and such, as they used to be in the old days. Though they grumble.
Did you know the other day Mr. Augustus had to chase 'em out of a tree? They were up one of the old apples in the orchard, sawing away; it was probably some kind of bet.
Mrs. Ware chased 'em out of the kitchen the other day, but that happens at least twice a week.
When Mrs. Ware was Housekeeper, they at least stayed out of the hallways, but Mrs. Thompson, who came after Mrs. Ware took over the kitchens when Mrs. Clarke left for Australia to take care of her daughter's baby, seems to like it as well, so we end up beating out the hall rugs at least twice a week.
Just the other day Mr. DeBeauvoir, our House Steward, turfed 'em out of the wine cellars. 'Agnes,' he says to me in that accent of his, 'the vibrations! what they could have been doing to the wine!' Poor innocent.
The ferrets, I'm telling you, it's the only way.
Oh, all right, I don't suppose that it's all that bad. Nothing wrong with a bit of music about the place, and they always seem to have a good time. But I've no truckle with this mystic mumbo-jumbo-ish stuff they spout sometimes about the 'Neverending Session,' like. What's so mystic about a banjo?

Parents of children with autism often report high levels of stress, but new research suggests that getting a caregiving break for as little as one hour a week can really make a difference.
In a new study looking at moms and dads of those with autism, researchers found that parents were less stressed and had improved marital quality with each hour of respite care received.
Researchers polled 101 sets of parents from across the country, each of whom were married and had at least one child diagnosed with autism ranging in age from 1 to 33. Moms and dads were asked to individually answer questions about their marriage, their feelings about daily responsibilities like money and work as well as how much respite care they received during a typical week or weekend.
Overall, parents indicated that about 64 percent of their kids with autism spent time with a respite care provider. Grandparents were most often the ones cited in giving parents a break, but moms and dads also reported getting help from babysitters, community agencies and extended family members.
Such support had a significant impact, with parents experiencing less stress and more so-called "uplifts" — qualities that led to better relationships — researchers reported in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders last month.
"Just one additional hour of respite care per week was related to an increase of six to seven points in marital quality, which is approximately one half of a standard deviation," wrote researchers from Brigham Young University and Wasatch Mental Health. "This finding offers hope to couples parenting a child with ASD."
The study is just the latest to attest to the benefits of respite care for families affected by autism. Last year, researchers said they found a decreased risk for psychiatric hospitalization in kids and young adults with autism whose caregivers used respite services.

A 33-year old is NOT a child… indeed, experience shows that securing services from the teen years on, for people with classically-defined autism (or the high, or low, end of the spectrum), is close to impossible.
I urge everyone to pull up these studies, do not rely on the "Scoop" report (or Science Daily et al.)
This study covers only 101 families, with (predominately) high incomes and advanced degrees. This slice of society should not be construed as representative of very much of anything, except that, hey, ALL parents need a break, duh. Another waste of research dollars.
This research confirms what lots of us already knew. (1) Caring for a child or adult with autism is stressful. (2) Respite breaks help to alleviate some of the stress. There are 2 other things that the research doesn't seem to cover.
(a) Good respite actually increases the ability of parents to care for their child because of the reduced stress.
(b) Typically developing siblings have stress issues too and respite breaks help them also.
Thank you for addressing the issue of respite for families living with autism and other disabilities. This article provides additional data about the positive outcomes of respite and will hopefully increase awareness about the need for respite for families.
This would also hold true for any type of disability, such as Cerebral Palsy. I was hoping that this article would have had more meat in it such as how care givers are getting such respite assistance.
The fact is, we need more research — not less. Funding for quailty, meaningful, affordable and accessible respite is in short supply for all families caring for an individual with a disability or chronic condition. The Lifespan Respite Program is funded at only $2.5 million to enhance and improve respite services nationwide andeven this small amount was cut through the recent sequester. To educate policymakers and the public about the benefits of respite so that funding and resources are secured, we need good, high quality evidence that cannot be disputed and we don't have enough of that either. Thank you to the researchers for focusing on the benefits of respite.
Grandparents are a help for as long as they are fit and your AS child is little. An upset, large teenager (or older) is no match for a small, elderly Grandma.
How do you respite when you have no family or sitters in town and your child has 'issues?'
A.Father, I strongly suspect the lack of respite is what drives people to kill their disabled children.
I was a volunteer coordinator at a local church and we held respites 4x a year for special needs children and all of their siblings. The evenings were always awesome and the parents and caregivers really enjoyed the night out. The volunteers were all touched by the experience and could not wait for the next event either. Caring and interacting with anyone who has special needs can be intimidating but at these events everyone had a buddy and we all felt like kids.
Joyce- Seriously? That is ridiculous. Respite or not the stress is high. I have two sons with autism who are teen/ adult age. It was great when they did go to respite one weekend a month but that had little bearing on the other 27/28 days. Stress was just as high. To suggest a lack of respite might lead to one killing their disabled child is not only unfounded but agreigously erroneous.
Respite is definitely crucial and can make a different. However, when the child has "issues, of more challenging behaviors, the quality and experience of the respite worker/reshab worker is crucial. I always end up " training " these often times inexperienced, most of them non-committed workers who often their hours with my son is a "part time" job for supplemental income. Most of them come and see my son and show up tired and unmotivated.
This article is so encouraging. I have the privilege of working at a great place that is providing respite to more than 350 families in the DC area! It's called Jill's House and it provides respite for kids (6-17) with intellectual disabilities. We find that the families face endless stress. They are exhausted. They struggle with failing marriages, battle depression, feel overwhelmed and desperate. I see this every day.
It's such a joy to get to come alongside the families to give them hope and renewal. I have to tell you a couple of the stories about our work!
One father we serve shared with us that his marriage would not have made it without the respite we provide. A single mother used her respite time to work on a nursing degree. A single dad shared that his son, who insisted on sleeping with him, learned independence during his overnight stays here and now sleeps alone, giving his dad the rest he so desperately needs.

I wish we'd seen some satisfying not-AU consummation with this. Because it really stood out as a relationship full of potential greatness.
Yeah, Daniel/Vala was great. I haven't watched most of the series, but what I saw of them was nice.

What a beautiful picture. I can't imagine how emotional that must have been for Judge, Shanks and Tapping, after working together for the better part of ten years. And of course Black and Browder had already been through all of that together before. I like how they're kind of off to the side, letting the others have their moment, but Shanks is still reaching out to them.
. Hot damn, I can dig it.
The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.

Wilkes-Barre Farmers Market Is Back, And With It Comes The Sights And Smells Of Summer
WILKES-BARRE — Three young men were walking around the Farmers' Market on Thursday around noon and one of them said, "Wow, there sure are a lot of good smells here."
An accurate assessment of the opening of the 40th Farmers' Market on Public Square. But the smells weren't the only things for the senses to enjoy — there were tastes, bargains, music, sunshine and fun.
"There's lots of stuff here," said Debbie Rutkoski of Larksville, who was on her lunch break from her job at Wilkes University. "This is so good for the downtown.
I wish there were more events on Public Square."
Larry Newman, executive director of the Diamond City Partnership, the key downtown management organization in the city, said there will be more events downtown. He said the Farmers' Market is the embodiment of a city's downtown.

Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrateby: Sheena Barrett · no comments
Created by Nutrex, Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrate is a weight loss pill that is advertised as being bigger, badder, and hopefully better version of several similar products we've seen before.
The Nutrex company also promises that Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrate will help you push yourself harder at the gym and become stronger than ever before, claiming that this pill is "not for use by wimps."
Judging from the style of advertising, this is a supplement geared especially towards men–not unlike the well-received weight loss pill for men, Myoripped.
But can Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrate actually help you lose weight and give you the carved muscle tone that you have been wanting? If we take a closer
The Formula
Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrate does use some proven weight loss ingredients starting with caffeine anhydrous, which is one of the most frequently used weight loss ingredients. Caffeine anhydrous has been clinically proven to burn fat, increase energy, and in general promote weight loss as long as you are using its clinically proven amounts.
Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrate also uses ingredients such as Synephrine, which is a stimulant that can be used to promote weight loss.
Although these ingredients can be effective, the problem I have with the formula is the lack of information regarding these ingredients' amounts. While Synephrine requires at least 250 mg to actually have an effect on your body, the entire proprietary blend that is meant to account for all of the ingredients is only 296.5 mg.
Caffeine anhydrous is even less effective in the Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrate formula, requiring at least 400 mg to be an efficient weight loss ingredient. Clearly, you are not actually getting the clinically proven doses.
Is It Safe?
Because of the caffeine and Synephrine in Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrate, this formula may lead to jitters, headaches, nausea, trouble sleeping, and other similar side effects.
Is It Worth Buying?
Though Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrate does include some potentially powerful ingredients, I really do not think that it is a great value.
The fact that it does not explicitly say on the supplement label how much of each ingredient it contains makes me hesitant to recommend it, first of all, because you have to be very wary with those proprietary blends. You could either be getting too much of an ingredient and have to deal with some serious consequences, or you could be getting too little, and see no effects whatsoever.
In the case of Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrate, I know that this cannot be an effective weight loss pill because, as I established, you need at least 400 mg of caffeine anhydrous to reap any of its potential benefits, and the entire formula is only 296.5 mg.
At this time, therefore, I think you should pass on Lipo 6 Black Ultra Concentrate and instead learn more about the powerful fat burner Myoripped. Myoripped has been among the most highly recommended and reviewed weight loss supplements for a while now, and customers love the way that it eliminates fat and increases their muscle mass.

SPECIAL SECTION – A special Fourth of July CapeFlyer train from Boston waits at the Hyannis station to begin its return trip. Special additional service on the long holiday weekend resulted in big numbers for the seasonal train, and added more fuel to speculation about its extension past Labor Day weekend. In a recent presentation to the Cape Cod Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority Administrator Tom Cahir said the state is talking about extending MBTA commuter service from Lakeville/Middleboro to Buzzards Bay in the next couple of years.

2005 marks the year that consumers will be able to get a free credit report each year. The roll out of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act signed into law by President Bush actually began last December 1. If you didn't know about it, don't worry. You haven't missed the boat. Not everyone is eligible to get their credit report. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is allowing the credit bureau's to implement the program piecemeal so as not to overload the new credit report system. Millions of consumers are expected to take advantage of the free reports.
Last December, consumers from Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming were able to take advantage of the free credit report. Next March, the Midwest will have access to free credit reports. The South has to wait till June, and the East must wait until September 2005.
After your eligible, you can request you free credit report from a web site, by calling a toll free number, or by requesting it in writing. The web site address is AnnualCreditReport.com. This website was created by the credit bureaus. The toll free number is (877)-322-8228, which is also (877)-FTC-HELP if that's easier to remember. The address to write to is Annual Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA., 30348-5281. You will not be asked to sign up for a trial subscription for a credit monitoring service after requesting your credit report.
Your not limited to one free credit report a year. You can request three – one from each of the credit bureaus: Exper an (http://www.experian.com), Equifax Inc. (http://www.equifax.com), and Trans Union LLC (http://www.tuc.com). It's a good idea to request a credit report from one of the credit bureau's every four months to monitor the activity related to your credit. You do not have to request three credit reports at the same time.
Errors on credit reports can cost you plenty of money. You need to make sure your credit report is accurate before submitting a mortgage application, buying a car on credit, or even requesting a credit card. Take advantage of the free credit reports to protect your most important financial asset – your credit.

Artists M. River and T. Whid formed MTAA in 1996 and soon after began to explore the internet, video, software and sculpture as mediums for their conceptually-based art. The duo's exhibition history includes group shows and screenings at The New Museum of Contemporary Art, Postmasters Gallery and Artists Space, all in New York City, and at The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. In "New Media Art" (Taschen, 2006), authors Mark Tribe and Reena Jana describe MTAA's "One Year Performance Video (aka samHsiehUpdate)" as "a deftly transparent demonstration of new media's ability to manipulate our perceptions of time." The collaboration has earned grants and awards from Creative Capital, Rhizome.org, Eyebeam, New Radio & Performing Arts, Inc. and The Whitney Museum of American Art.
New audio by Cary Peppermint, check it out…
seven audio works .mp3 - Cary Peppermint 2007
The audio works of TRACEPLACESPACE were formed loosely in response to ever-accelerating technological developments, passing time, urgent ecological issues, and remarkable events of our globally connected system in process long before but brought to the forefront since the latter part of the year 2001. The works of TRACEPLACESPACE are components of a digital, multi-media, network-infused performance of the same title.
I like to perform this work in small community venues, outdoor gatherings, art-spaces, and galleries where everyone is welcome and can sit on the floor, talk to one another, and drink green tea. However I will perform TRACEPLACESPACE approximately anywhere.
Filming Outside the Cinema
I have to admit that I'd not given much thought to film outside the cinema, web film or live video, or anything like that, but I've spent lots of time here hanging out with Peter Horvath and I'm impressed.
Peter makes very beautiful films for the web, and you can check them all out online. Today he showed us The Presence of Absence, which was comissioned for the Whitney Museum's Artport in 2003, and then Tenderly Yours from 2005, which "resituates the personal, casual and ambiguous approach of French new wave cinema in a net art narrative that explores love, loss and memory. The story is recited by a striking and illustrious persona, who moves through the city with her lover. Her willful independence is intoxicating, though her sense of self is ambiguous..." Gorgeous.
Cut Piece - Yoko Ono
Cut Piece (2006, 36.5MB, 9 min)
"Ono had first done the performance in 1964, in Japan,
and again at Carnegie Hall, in New York, in 1965.
Ono sat motionless on the stage after inviting the audience
to come up and cut away her clothing, covering her breasts
at the moment of unbosoming."

epic net art
Another question raised on the Net Ae panel of a few weeks back was the idea of an 'epic' net art. Where is it? Is it possible? Who would want to do it?
Is Pseudo.com an example of epic net art? Did we not know that we were in the midst of the most epic work of net art ever as it went on?
The first piece of net art that MTAA ever did, BUYING TIME: The Nostalgia-Free History Sale was done in conjunction with G. H. Hovagimyan's ArtDirt streaming video show on Pseudo.com. (We didn't know what the hell we were doing at the time.) There was a lot of art happening at pseudo's offices (as well as really great parties). Jeff Gompertz (of Fakeshop) was heavily involved as well.
I'm bringing all this up as a way to help bolster Harris' claim that pseudo.com was a 'fake' company and an elaborate piece of 'performance art.' Perhaps it was. Did he out-etoy etoy but not tell anybody until now? Can something be an art work if no one knows it's an art work? Is he simply a revisionist fraud?
Rhizome 2009 Commissions: Announced!
Hi Nick,
At the Net Aesthetics panel the question of political net art was addressed. Our moderator, Ed Halter, asked, "why isn't there more?" The panel didn't really have a good answer. Later, it was sort of itching at me and I thought of a few pieces.
It's weird that I didn't think of this at the panel, because Rhizome's own 2008 commissions contain at least one political work:
AddArt -- anti-corporate = political IMHO
Here's some other political net art:
Michael Mandiberg's Real Costs and Oil Standard
When you go surfclubbin', don't forget your hat.
oops, one quibble..
"This is Tim's conceptual "net art." Rachel Greene's Thames & Hudson Internet Art book is comprised entirely of this genre of net art."
More self-serving posting right... now:
MTAA's Random Access Mortality is included in that book and I would classify it as web art.
Except for the fact that it's part of Website Unseen -- which is net art.
It's all so confusing...
When you go surfclubbin', don't forget your hat.
We ended up agreeing about all that?
Net Art Versioning
"If the net is generative and net.art is on the net, but the art world isn't generative and net.art is a product of the artworld, there would appear to be a contradiction. ;-) "
Well, that's sort-of my point... is net art a product of the art world? On a whole, I would say have to say no. Does the art world trade in net art? Not yet, not really.
Beyond the question of net art, perhaps the art world is somewhat generative, but it does have its choke points and gatekeepers, making it less generative (in Zittrain's sense).

It doesn't hurt to take a step back and re-evaluate our assumptions every once in a while. In his article today at the Verge, Paul Miller ponders the eternal mystery, "What is the Internet?"
Since I don't "use the internet," according to my dial-up definition, I'm frequently longing for my friends to "disconnect" from it and spend more time with me throwing frisbees — because what could possibly as important on this ephemeral internet that has them so wrapt? But if they "disconnected," what would we talk about? Probably about someone who just friended them on Facebook, or this great new idea for a website they had, or this well-reviewed restaurant — "wait a minute, let me look it up" — that we should hit up later. And at that restaurant we'd eat food that a chef probably emailed to another chef, and then pay with internet-verified credit cards, and then take cabs home with embedded screens flush with internet-obtained or distributed information. Or go see a movie in theaters that was delivered in digital form over the internet. And then we'd go home and listen to music we bought on iTunes at some point, or that was originated by band members who met on Craigslist.
Miller raises some interesting points but ultimately, with a degree of resignation, reaffirms what we already know to be true—the Internet is everywhere. It's hard not to write nostalgically these days, but others like Nathan Jurgenson contend that this romantic desire to be "disconnected" is all-too-common and reflects something more worrisome: a sequestering of reality into the "offline" or, as Miller puts it, the "meatspace." Perhaps the old epistemological question of "what is reality?" deserves our renewed attention.

We are excited for an eventful semester as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of women first graduating from Fairfield University and the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Women's Studies program (now Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies).

She is a religious leader, attorney and poet with extensive experience in public policy and advocacy for systemic change. In Washington, she lobbies on issues of peace-building, immigration reform, healthcare and economic justice. Around the country, she is a noted speaker and educator on these public policy issues.
Stay tuned for more updates throughout the semester!
