One notable finding was that the brain scans were nearly identical for the low-level and high-level forms of improvisation, thus supporting the researchers hypothesis that the change in neural activity was due to creativity and not the complexity of the task. If the latter were the case, there would have been a more noticeable difference between the Scale and Jazz paradigms, since the Jazz paradigm was significantly more complex.
Moreover, the researchers found that much of the change between improvisation and memorization occurred in the prefrontal cortex, the region of the frontal lobe of the brain that helps us think and problem-solve and that provides a sense of self. Interestingly, the large portion responsible for monitoring ones performance (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) shuts down completely during improvisation, while the much smaller, centrally located region at the foremost part of the brain (medial prefrontal cortex) increases in activity. The medial prefrontal cortex is involved in self-initiated thoughts and behaviors, and is very active when a person describes an event that has happened to him or makes up a story. The researchers explain that, just as over-thinking a jump shot can cause a basketball player to fall out of the zone and perform poorly, the suppression of inhibitory, self-monitoring brain mechanisms helps to promote the free flow of novel ideas and impulses. While this brain pattern is unusual, it resembles the pattern seen in people when they are dreaming.
Another unusual finding was that there was increased neural activity in each of the sensory areas during improvisation, including those responsible for touch, hearing and vision, despite the fact that there were no significant differences in what individuals were hearing, touching and seeing during both memorized and improvised conditions. Its almost as if the brain ramps up its sensorimotor processing in order to be in a creative state, said Limb. Th

"Sir, In your editorial "Restoring faith in the banking system" (December 29), you rightly draw attention to the useful role played by banks in carrying out their "core activities" of "the payment systems and deposit-taking". However, you make no mention of their other activity, namely the creation of new money in the form of commercial bank money.
"Many people would consider this to be far the most important activity of banks in the current banking system, accounting as it does for the creation of more than 97 per cent of the money in circulation (M4).
"If banks did not enjoy this extraordinary privilege it is doubtful whether they would have at their disposal the quantity of profits that makes the current bonus system possible.
"It seems the apparent "conspiracy of silence" on this issue, which characterises the ongoing debate on the financial crisis, is not in fact due to any attempt to conceal a potentially embarrassing fact about banking.
"A recent New Economics Foundation publication, 'Where does money come from?', with a foreword by Prof Charles Goodhart, quotes the results of polls indicating that the public is largely unaware of how the banking system works.
"It is widely believed, for example, that all money is created by the state or the central bank and not by the profit-making private banking sector.
"The current debate on financial and monetary reform is unlikely to make much progress if this supremely important aspect of modern banking is not taken into consideration."

Although Harry Reid didn't make it far with his promise to work with Republicans on Iraq this fall, his strategy appears to have moved over to the House, where a bill requiring Defense Secretary Gates to present Congress his plans for withdrawing combat forces passed 377 to 46 yesterday. So many Republican yeses constitute a surprising loss for Republican leader John Boehner, who's kept his troops marvelously well-marshaled up to now. But the bill lost more Democratic votes than Republican: It's totally non-binding in the sense that it doesn't mandate Gates to enact the plan he presents, which led many disgusted anti-war Democrats to reject it.
It seems harder than ever for that anti-war bloc -- led by Reps. Lynn Woolsey, Maxine Waters, and Barbara Lee, and which Pelosi was once a part of -- to hold onto its influence. Remember last spring, when the fear that the bloc would defect on March's war supplemental vote seemed to dominate the leadership's delicate positioning? And in July, Woolsey managed to keep a similar resolution off the floor: "It wasn't that hard to do," a Woolsey aide told me. But then "Petraeus took the wind out of everybody's sails."

DETROIT Difficulty or inability to write a coherent text message, even in patients who have no problem speaking, may become a "vital" tool in diagnosing a type of crippling stroke, according to new research at Henry Ford Hospital.
The case study focused on a 40-year-old man visiting the metro Detroit area on business who showed signs of "dystextia," a recently coined term for incoherent text messaging that can sometimes be confused with autocorrect garble. But in his case, the man saw nothing wrong with the garble.
The patient had no problem with a routine bedside test of his language abilities including fluency of speech, reading, writing, comprehension and other factors. However, when asked to type a simple text message, he not only produced garble, but he was unable to see it as such.
Despite showing only slight facial asymmetry and no other symptoms, doctors determined the man had suffered an acute ischemic stroke, in which a clot or other blockage cuts off blood supply to part of the brain. Such strokes usually result in some form of physical impairment and can be fatal.
The report is will be presented March 19th during the annual scientific meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in San Diego.
Omran Kaskar, M.D., a neurologist at Henry Ford Hospital and lead author of the research, said it illustrates how dystextia can be the only symptom of stroke-related aphasia a partial or sometimes total inability to form or understand language.
"Text messaging is a common form of communication with more than 75 billion texts sent each month," Dr. Kaskar said. "Besides the time-honored tests we use to determine aphasia in diagnosing stroke, checking for dystextia may well become a vital tool in making such a determination."
Dr. Kaskar added, "Because text messages are always time-stamped when they're sent they may also help establish when the stroke symptoms were at least present or even when they

Baltimore – Making vehicle fuel from landfill gas is not just for the big boys anymore.
Disposal sites no longer have to generate thousands, or even several hundred, cubic feet of landfill gas each minute to make a vehicle fueling system economical to operate, attendees at the recent Landfill Methane Outreach Program Conference and Project Expo in Baltimore learned.
Chris Voell is eastern sales manager with BioCNG/Cornerstone Environmental Group LLC, which develops landfill gas-to-vehicle projects. But he once worked at LMOP, part of the U.S. EPA, years ago.
And, back then, he would tell people that vehicle fueling didn't make sense for a landfill producing less than 1,000 to 1,500 cubic feet of landfill gas per minute.
"I'm going to show you that this technology can work at a tenth that size or even smaller," he said at the LMOP conference.
Landfill gas development has been incredibly successful over the years in the United States.
"We are the world leader in this sector by far. However, it may be time for a bit of a course [re]direction," he said.
There will always be room for projects that create electricity and those that directly pipe gas to end users. But, he said, landfill gas vehicle fuel is a great opportunity in a world uncertain over future petroleum prices.
"There's an incredible opportunity to turn biogas into a vehicle fuel that I think brings even more to the table," he said.
Executive Director Katry Martin and the folks at the St. Landry Parish, La., Solid Waste Disposal District didn't really consider landfill gas at their small disposal site until relatively recently. It was only in 2008 that a gas collection system was even installed.
But thanks to some favorable and timely economics, a project to develop a vehicle fueling system using landfill gas was commissioned soon after.
These days, the county is operating 15 vehicles on CNG taken from the landfill in Washington, La., through what was the state's first voluntary landfill gas project.
Because of its small size, the parish-owned landfill was not required to collect its gas. But doing so opened up the opportunity to sell carbon emissions credits, and those proceeds have helped pay for the $1 million project. State grant money also helped make the project feasible for the small county with a population of only 90,000 in south-central Louisiana.
St. Landry Parish is using 50 cubic feet per minute of landfill gas to create about 10 gallons of gasoline equivalent each hour. That's fueling the vehicles for both the solid waste district and the county sheriff's department. The parish has spent about $200,000 converting the vehicles to natural gas use.
"We just need to expand the fleet," Martin said, to allow for more consumption of landfill gas. "We've got the feedstock."
The landfill produces about 300 cubic feet per minute of landfill gas, so the potential to significantly expand the use of landfill gas for vehicle fuel does exist.
Voell said adding CNG vehicles is a challenge around the country, which is lagging other parts of the world in adopting the technology.
"We've got 5 million NGV, natural gas vehicles, running around the world. This is not new technology. We've got everything from scooters to semis running across the globe. Now we are way behind in this, though. We've got less than 200,000 natural gas vehicles in the United States," he said.
The solid waste sector, however, is proving to help lead in the adoption of the technology, he said
Because the St. Landry Parish project has proven to be financially successful, the solid waste director believes it could end up being a model for other smaller parishes to mimic.
"We do have what we think is an exciting project," Martin said.
"It's really an exciting time to be in the biogas field," Voell said. n

Fourth suspect charged in killing
Police late Monday arrested a fourth person in connection with the weekend killing of a New York man inside a north Charlotte hotel.
Salena Yvonne Harris, 25, was charged with murder, attempted murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon.
Police earlier arrested and charged three others in connection with the killing of Keith Cox, 43. Cox died inside the Budget Inn on North Graham Street at I-85 after being shot around 1:37 a.m.
According to the Charlotte Observer, Cox was visiting Charlotte from New York and may have gone to the motel to meet some females. He worked as a concession stand operator for concerts.
Members of his family told NewsChannel 36 that Cox may have been lured to the motel and targeted for robbery.
Another man, Clayton King, was taken to Carolinas Medical Center in serious condition.
Harris was booked into the Mecklenburg jail. According to the sheriff's website, she was arrested in February and charged with possession of stolen property and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Police say they continue to investigate the weekend shooting. If you have information you are asked to call 704-432-TIPS and speak directly to a homicide detective, or call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.

By Ahmad Majidyar, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Ahmad Majidyar is a senior research associate at the American Enterprise Institute. The views expressed are his own.
A gunman in an Afghan army uniform killed three Australian soldiers in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday night, the latest in an alarming string of so-called "green-on-blue" attacks that have eroded morale and trust at a critical juncture as foreign troops are withdrawing and transitioning security to the Afghan lead. The deaths bring the number of foreign troops killed by Afghan allies, or by Taliban fighters disguised as them, to 45 this year, most of them Americans.
According to General John R. Allen, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, the Taliban has been responsible for one quarter of these attacks through infiltration, coercion and impersonation. The new threat has been a PR disaster for Kabul and Washington, but a propaganda victory for the Taliban. In his Eid al-Fitr message, the insurgent group's reclusive leader Mullah Omar claimed his fighters had "cleverly infiltrated in the ranks of the enemy," and that the Taliban had created the "Call and Guidance, Luring and Integration" department to encourage more defections.
But while the Taliban has played a role, the majority of these attacks have been carried out by disgruntled Afghans with no connection with the insurgents.
One reason is battle fatigue. Afghanistan has already surpassed Vietnam as America's longest war. For Afghans, the country has been embroiled in ceaseless conflict since the 1978 Soviet-backed coup. Drug addiction and mental disorders among Afghan soldiers and policemen are other key factors. A lack of cultural and religious sensitivity, as well as instances of miscommunication and verbal arguments, has also triggered such attacks. It is not a coincidence that insider attacks sharply increased after the Kandahar massacre and Quran burning by American soldiers earlier this year.
Left unchecked, these attacks have serious implications for the transition plan and NATO's Afghanistan exit strategy. Insider attacks are particularly worrying because they call into question the most critical pillar of the Obama administration's Afghanistan strategy, which is to train and build a capable and credible Afghan force that can maintain security and prevent the return of the Taliban and al-Qaeda after foreign troops' departure in two years. Training and mentoring requires close partnership and is impossible without trust. One damaging effect would be a reduction in joint operations.
A continuation of insider killings could also produce political costs, and would further erode public support for the war in the U.S. and Europe. About two-thirds of Americans already do not want troops to be fighting in Afghanistan, and more such attacks would create domestic pressure on allied nations to withdraw troops faster than the 2014 timeline. Indeed, troop casualties were one reason countries such as France and New Zealand charted a faster pullout plan.
So, what can be done? First, the Afghan and U.S. governments need to get on the same page over the issue. The Afghan government, contradicting NATO officials' findings, blames foreign spy agencies, a euphemism for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), for the attacks. Both sides need to agree on what the real causes are and to act in unison to reduce the threat.
To mitigate the Taliban infiltration, both the Afghan and coalition forces need to increase the number of their intelligence and counterintelligence personnel. The Afghan government, meanwhile, needs to implement a more rigorous vetting and recruitment process. More in-depth cultural awareness arrangements for coalition and Afghan forces could also prove useful. NATO officials should also ensure that new security measures are balanced. Too extreme measures could offend the Afghans, widen the gap between the two allies, and increase the level of threat.
The insider attacks are still isolated incidents and do not reflect the overall security situation in Afghanistan – coalition and Afghan forces make hundreds of contacts and conduct joints operations on a daily basis. The Afghan security forces have seen remarkable progress in size and quality over the past two years, and some 350,000 Afghan soldiers and policemen are now responsible for security of more than half the population. But if insider killings continue to rise dramatically, they could potentially derail the overall Afghanistan strategy and undo gains made over a decade of conflict.
We'll pull out shortly after the election. And BTW, the Afghanistan invasion was different from the Iraq invasion. Afghanistan was justified. bin Laden hit us on 9/11, the Taliban gave him shelter, and that is grounds for war. We came, we ran out the Taliban, and eventually killed bin Laden. We're done; let's go home.
Iraq was never justified. There were no WMD's or links to al-Qaeda. W & co. made it all up. The troops did great, but the politicians were criminal. We still don't know the real reason our leadership was so determined to invade. But we know the cost in US troops, Iraqi civilians, and money.
You're right that Afghanistan was the right war and Iraq wasn't. But you're wrong that we should leave immediately because bin Laden is death. Al Qaeda is not a single person; it is an ideology and it's an organization intent on destruction of the Western world. Bin Laden is gone, but his followers are there. The new al Qaeda leader is in Pakistan with thousands of followers. And the Taliban are their allies. We can't leave prematurely and let achievements of our troops in the past decade to be wasted. We need to continue helping the Afghan security forces so that they can defend their own country.
Whoever hit U on 9/11 died the same day. Whoever planned the attack should have been found, interrigated and killed. And I don't think that US really needed to send more than a special unit or tomohawk missile to achieve it
there was proof of wmd and also they would not let the inspectors in like the un agreements required inspectors where rejected access about 15 times so we had all rights to invade at least it started of real good shock and ah that is only thing is we stopped the shock and ah too soon that was the only mistake
There must be another way of phrasing this international issue instead of "green on blue challenge". People are dying, but that headline makes it sound like college football Saturday when Michigan State takes on Michigan.
Unfortunately OvernOut, most Americans do tend to look upon this obnoxious war as another sporting event, the NATO troops being our boys and the Taliban being the opposing team. This is totally wrong and ignorant, but the politicians in Washington are glad that the majority of Americans feel that way so they can use it to enhance their political careers! The real tragedy is that this war is completely unnecessary and useless!
You're wrong. This war started as a response to the 9/11. If we leave Afghanistan prematurely, we'll revert to the pre9/11 situation. The Taliban and al Qaeda will come back to parts of the country and plot against us. We need to end the war responsibly. All the sacrifices of the past decade shouldn't go in vain.
>> most Americans do tend to look upon this obnoxious war as another sporting event,
All too true.
Not that any other nation views their wars any different.
Governments the world over have shown us that ALL peoples prefer war,
in all times, and in all places.
It is just a matter of when and who.
People will not tolerate peace.
Never have, and never will.
This is not uniquely an American problem; this is the state of an uncivilized race that
has not reached maturity, and never will.
Just kill them all. Stronger powers always force their will on the weak that's how life is. We have to be a stronger imperialistic nation
We need to KEEP our troops in Afghanistan for another 100 years.
It does not matter even if we get our white butts kicked red, blue and of course white
like a pig. We deserve this.
we should eat our own excrement to survive this war
stay the course and bring it on.
I wonder if this is plagiarized?
It is now time to bring our troops home they have done a great job and now it is up to the Afghan people to do what they must. It seems to most of the America that this country got the help they needed and now we can not hold there hands any more. We need to look at America and start taken care of our own now, not everyone else.
We have aproximately 30,000 Red White & Blue attacks on Red White & Blue resulting in death within the borders of the USA every year. And yet there will be no chants and flag waving at either political convention about this. If drunk drivers were killing 20,000 to 30,000 US troops in Afganastan each year the pundits would be protesting. And yet Clint Eastwood mentioned nothing about this. Neither did Ted Nugent. They both recently had a national spotlight. Anything from the Tea Party, Rush, Glen, Hannity, or Grover?. Guess it is acceptable.
Why don't they call it blue on green attacks? The ones with the blue uniforms are attacking our troops with green uniforms... Just saying
The war story never told, how the independent Vietnam farms , who needed no government had to be displace for one power are the other. It really don't matter much what the government calls it's self after the deed is done. The money and wealth still ends up with the money changers of the world.
Oh no, the locals don't like the invaders? Big surprise.
Ditch those holes and let them fight themselves.
It's kinda time we got out of there, they don't want us there, right?
It's kinda time we got out of there, they don't want us there, right?
No, wrong. A majority of Afghans still support the presence of foreign troops in the country. They don't want the return of terrorist Taliban. The insider attacks are carried out by a few individuals. There are 350,000 Afghan forces along more than 100,000 foreign troops jointly operating every day. The both see the Taliban and al Qaeda as common enemy.
It is obvious that Afgan Army is already taking orders from the Taliban. They are just greasing the way after NATO leaves a half hearted half done job unfinished.
When Bush put us into this war there was never a plan to get out, The Republican don't want us to end it they have done everything to make sure we never get out, If Romney is elected we can begin to call it the never ending WAR, it will never end, It is just time to get out of this mess, bring our troops home once and for all. and the hell with them, and If they should ever attack America again we can respond by bombing them beyond the stone age, there is no law that we have to rebuild there country and spend our money waiting 2 years more to withdraw hell with that do it now, think about how much we will save
We keep trying to turn Afghanistan into a "country", the way we think of a country. It's never going to happen.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer death and the second most common cancer among both men and women in the United States. Until recently, there was no generally accepted screening test for lung cancer.
Now, a national panel of medical experts is recommending that heavy smokers and ex-smokers get routinely screened with low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans, which are better able to detect the tiniest lung cancers at an earlier, more curable stage. As a way to help promote screenings, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital is enlisting the assistance of other agencies to fight against lung cancer in Southwest Georgia by offering a pilot program known as Lung Watch — which is dedicated to helping individuals at risk for lung cancer detect the disease early, and getting them in for treatment quickly.
"Our goal is to detect lung cancer early," said Cathy D'Amico, lung nurse navigator at the Phoebe Cancer Center. "Statistics show (early detection) reduces mortality by 20 percent.
"If we find it early, we can remove and treat it and (let the patient) have a higher quality of life. If found late, the life span is one year, but if is found early, it is more like 10 years."
Lung Watch is free of charge and offers a continuum of care officials say is unlike any other program available in the area. As part of the program, participants referred by their primary care physician will be screened by a low-dose spiral CT that will allow health care professionals to determine what, if any, follow-up care is needed.
From there, Phoebe will offer the treatment process from start to finish.
"The primary care physician can have the confidence the patient will be taken care of," said Linda Van der Merwe, vice president of oncology services at Phoebe. "We are doing the whole continuum. We don't just do the test; we do the whole care.
"We will be monitoring the patient with the primary care physician being kept in the loop."
In order to be eligible, the participant must be 55-74 years old and a current smoker or one who has quit within the past 15 years with at least a 30 pack-year history of smoking, or be 50-74 years old and have at least a 20 pack-year history of smoking and also have at least one additional lung cancer risk factor — not including second hand smoke exposure — such as a personal cancer history of lung, lymphoma and smoking-related cancers; family history of lung cancer in a first degree relative; chronic lung disease; emphysema/pulmonary fibrosis; and carcinogen exposure to substances such as arsenic, asbestos, cadmium, chromium, diesel fumes, nickel, radon and silica.
If an individual fits into either of those groups, their primary care physician can refer them to the screening program. If a nodule is found, the participant will be referred to D'Amico, and the case will be presented to the lung tumor conference — where a comprehensive team of medical professionals will determine the best care plan for each patient.
To start off with, there will be 200 free CT scans and 200 free readings ordered by the participants' primary care physicians. For now, Van der Merwe said, the focus will be on Dougherty, Lee, Terrell, Worth and Mitchell counties with the program being carried out on Phoebe's main campus in Albany — with the plan being to eventually expand into other counties and to also offer it at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus and Phoebe Worth Medical Center in Sylvester.
In the meantime, there will potentially be another navigator added to the program, Van der Merwe said.
Among those who have come onboard to help launch the Lung Watch program include representatives from the American Cancer Society, the Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Massachusetts and the Albany primary care community.
"It requires teamwork for certain … working together as a team for a standardized approach to patient care," said Dr. Andrea McKee, chair of radiation oncology at Lahey.
While the program is just now getting started in Albany, it was instituted in Massachusetts two years ago with good results.
"It was a challenge when we first started, but it is one of the strongest programs primary care physicians respond to," McKee said. "It has taken on a life of its own."
Dr. James Hotz, an internist with Albany Area Primary Health Care, said this new program has come about — in part — as a result of the screening guidelines that have just come out.
"For the first time, we have a screening program we can bend the curve on," he said. "… We want to make sure the public understands (the importance of early detection).
"… We are the first state to have lung cancer screening as a highlight … We want doctors to tell them (patients) to stay away from cigarettes and get screened."
Support groups and social workers will also be available to insure the patient does not have to walk through the program alone, officials at Phoebe said.
Lung Watch was initially funded by donations to the Phoebe Foundation, the Southwest Georgia Area Health Education Center and the Cancer Coalition of South Georgia.

The community of Banaba is affected by flooding almost every year. For the families living in this small community just outside Manila, it isn't a question of if there will be more flooding, but when. But these inspiring families aren't taking matters lying down - they've organised themselves and are prepared to respond when floods come. Your donations will provide community leaders with an 8' x 4' boat which they'll use to evacuate during floods and rescue any trapped neighbors.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
The Philippines is one of the world's most disaster prone countries. In an average year it's affected by more than 20 typhoons, and that number is rising because of climate change. The community of Banaba is no stranger to the devastating effects of floods. They've already had to relocate their community center as it was simply too close to a large river. In Banaba, floods are a fact of life, and families can't afford to wait for help when they strike. If they do, they'll lose their lives.
How will this project solve this problem?
The funds you provide will be used to build a nimble 8' x 4' fiberglass rescue boat so that, during a flood, residents can evacuate themselves and pick up anyone else trapped by the water. Some families already have boats and these have saved lives in past floods. However many more boats are needed to ensure that lives aren't lost during floods.
Potential Long Term Impact
The boat we build will allow one family in Banaba to help itself during floods for years to come. They won't be left helplessly waiting for help - they'll be able to help themselves and save the lives of others too.

Case Study | January 16, 2009
Case Study: Fine Screen Retrofit Cuts Upgrade Costs By $1MSource: JWC Environmental
To preserve Hawaii's natural beauty, keep up with growth and ensure regulatory compliance, the US Army Schofield Barracks, Hawaii's largest Army post, recently upgraded their wastewater treatment facility located on the island of Oahu. The result was improved efficiency and water quality, and decreased environmental impact on the region.
The project was spearheaded by Aqua Engineers of Kauai following a contract with the Army to privatize the facility. Key to the project's ultimate success was technology from JWC Environmental, Costa Mesa, California and GE Water and Process Technologies, a unit of General Electric Company.
Wayne White, Aqua Engineer's Plant Engineer for Schofield, explained that goals for the upgrade were specific and challenging. "We needed to upgrade the plant from R2 quality effluent to R1 quality effluent suitable for re-use in agriculture and irrigation applications," says White. "We also needed to increase plant capacity by roughly 30% - from 3.2 to 4.2 million gallons per day (MGD). An additional requirement to provide surge capacity of 15 MGD to handle Oahu's frequent rainstorms further increased the design challenge. And, the total project was to be completed without major capital expenditure."
Aqua Engineers recommended General Electric's ZeeWeed® Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology to achieve the R1 quality effluent desired. This advanced wastewater treatment system combines rugged hollow-fiber, ultrafiltration membranes with biological processes resulting in superior effluent quality and reduced chemical consumption. As specified by the membrane manufacturer, the MBR required 2mm screening in front of the membranes in order to protect them from clogging and damage.

2003 Chevrolet Venture LS Ext. DVD 3.4 V6 from North America
Great family vehicle
Winshield Weather Stripping.
Rear Wiper Motor.
Headlights are not bright even on high.
General Comments:
Lots of room.
DVD player keeps my son happy on long trips.
Backup sensors work great in tight spaces.
Performance is great.
Traction control is not really needed, more of a bother than useful.
8 passenger seating configuration is not as comfortable as the 7 passenger with Captain chairs, especially on long trips.
Load leveling suspension a must if you are carrying heavy loads, it's actually fun load it up with a heavy load and watching the rear end rise up.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 18th December, 2005
11th May 2006, 20:19
Agreed about the weak headlights, especially on high beam.
On the positive side, I found that it was relatively uncomplicated to add an auxiliary set of small driving lights (Cibie brand) under the bumper. Their black bodies and covers "went" nicely with the black bumper rub strips; nice integrated appearance with a 1 mile (almost 2 kilometres) long high beam. NO switch necessary in dashboard, simply wired a 5 dollar Autozone regular type relay - with inline fuse- from positive side of battery, with a trigger-circuit feed off the high beam wire (easy to get to follow directions in owners manual for changing the headlight bulb).
Lights go on and off with the high beams, dealer for my leased vehicle considers it an "upgrade" and thus has no complaints.
14th Jul 2006, 14:44
I purchased my 2003 Chevy Venture van 3 years ago. It has been very reliable. I have driven it 65,000 miles and the only repair work on it has been to replace 1 set of front brake pads. It's a joy to drive. It feels like a pickup truck. You can haul a lot of "stuff" without worrying if it can haul the load. Gas mileage on the highway has been between 26 and 29 miles per gallon going through the mountains. I would purchase another Venture van when this one wears out! Best vehicle we have purchased in the 26 years I have been buying cars and trucks.

Nearly 100 so-called cold case homicide investigations could be reopened using cutting-edge forensic techniques, if Maine is successful in its request for federal funding. The Maine Legislature and Gov. Paul LePage approved the creation of a cold case homicide squad within the state Attorney General's Office two months ago, but limited state funds left the proposal contingent on potential federal funding. Now U.S. House Reps. Mike Michaud and Chellie Pingree want Maine to be considered for a $300,000 cold case grant from the National Institute of Justice. A.J. Higgins reports.
For 2nd District Congressman Mike Michaud, the case of Joyce McLain's murder in his hometown of East Millinocket never actually got cold. He's reminded of the 16-year-old Schenck High School sophomore's murder in the summer of 1980 every time he returns home.
"It is personal for me because I do know Pam McLain, Joyce's mother," he says. "You know, she was murdered back in 1980 and it just shocked and rocked the community."
McLain's killer has never been found and the girl's murder went into Maine's cold case files, a list of nearly 100 unsolved killings dating back to 1958. Limited resources make it nearly impossible to maintain active investigations into the decades-old homicides even though the Maine State Police have a standing policy of never actually closing the books on an unsolved murder.
Lawmakers were told this year that what's really needed in Maine is a dedicated cold case homicide squad. The Legislature and Gov. Paul LePage supported legislation to accomplish that goal this year, only to see the measure sidelined because of the bill's $500,000 price tag.
But now, Michaud says a $300,000 federal cold case grant sought by Maine Attorney General Janet Mills could provide the kind of punch the state needs to resolve some of the mysterious murders.
"I know it's a short-term type grant, but it will actually provide them the additional manpower they need to help get through a lot of these cases," Michaud says.
Michaud and 1st District Congresswoman Chellie Pingree have sent letters to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder urging approval of the funds for Maine. Pingree says the money would support DNA analysis efforts.
"There's a significant backlog in processing DNA in Maine, and this funding could go a long way toward addressing the backlog for unsolved cases," Pingree says.
The grant would not provide all of the staffing for the unit originally envisioned in this year's legislation. But Maine Attorney General Janet Mills says that it would help the state resolve its cold case homicides. I
n addition to DNA and forensic biology support, she says her prosecutors would have access to a number of new tools, including forensic crime scene analysis and forensic toxicology services, "evidence collection, analyzing the cases that we have, doing a data base, a real sophisticated data base, to try to focus on those cases that are indeed solvable, and going out and collecting more evidence where it can be found and having it tested," Mills says.
Should the state's grant application be approved, Dan Levey of the National Organization of Parents of Murdered Children says new hope will emerge for the families of Maine's unsolved murder victims who live their lives without answers.
"It obviously lingers for years - sometimes decades - when these cases are unsolved," Levey says. "And certainly that's another dynamic that survivors have to endure, and the constant wondering of what actually happened, and will my loved one's case be forgotten?"
Maine Attorney General Janet Mills says the state may not receive an answer on its application for another two to three months.

Memphis Airport Announces Plan to Modernize Facility
February 20, 2014
Airlines, Concessions to Operate in Enhanced B Concourse
MEMPHIS, TN (February 20, 2014) –The Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA) today began charting its path into the future by announcing its plan for modernizing the B Concourse and consolidating operations at the Memphis International Airport (MEM).
The multi-year, multi-phased plan includes consolidating airline and food, beverage and retail concessions into the B Concourse; and improvements such as additional moving walkways, wider corridors, larger boarding areas, higher ceilings and increased natural lighting. The project includes the removal of the south ends of the A and C Concourses to allow for unobstructed access by aircraft to the entire B Concourse. The entire project will take an estimated 5-7 years to complete.
"We have begun the process of reinventing the Memphis Airport," said Scott Brockman, MSCAA President and CEO. "Part of that reinvention involves consolidating operations so we can better serve our passengers, airlines, concessionaires, and employees. More importantly, we're going to modernize the B Concourse, giving our passengers more room to move, better lighting and more convenience."
Consolidation of Airlines/Concessions into the B Concourse
• Airline flight operations will be consolidated into the B concourse.
Enhancements to B Concourse
• Corridors and airline gate/boarding areas in the B Concourse will be widened to give passengers more room as they move to and from gates and wait to board.
Removal of South Ends of A and C Concourses
• The airport will remove the south ends of Concourses A and C to eliminate potential traffic barriers to aircraft operating out of the B concourse.
Construction Timeline and Budget
• The project is expected to total approximately $114 million in capital costs, and the Airport Authority does not anticipate that this will require the issuance of any additional general airport revenue bond debt.
Please visit www.flymemphis.com for more information about the project, including a presentation, photos, frequently asked questions and a video simulation of the finished modernized B Concourse.

How to email blog posts from Outlook
2008-04-02 | Filed Under Uncategorized
Suppose (just for the sake of discussion) you wanted to share some blog postings with a group of people at work – and the company email system uses Outlook 2003. Sending HTML email with the blog posting seems like it would be a nice way to do it. But getting Outlook to send properly-crafted HTML emails is surprisingly difficult
Following a hint I learned from the web, here is the procedure I came up with.
- Launch Outlook.
- Go to "Tools > Options > Mail Format" and set the email format to HTML while disabling the use of Microsoft Word for editing emails.
- Go to "View > Toolbars > Web" to enable the web toolbar.
- In the web toolbar, navigate to the page containing the HTML you want to send. If the page you are sending is not an existing blog post, you can write it by hand in the HTML editor of your choice then navigate there.
- Go to "Actions > Send Web Page by E-mail".

Fortunately, it will prefill it with the content of your web page, so if the web page was correct then you should be able to fill in the headers (subject and To) and just hit "send".

Apparently tabs in front of the values set in the css make a difference? At any rate, the second time I tried this it needed a lot of fiddling before it worked. Once I've figured out what is actually making the difference, I'll write it up.

After messing with it even more on my next attempt, I think perhaps the problem lies in copying the comment line from the blog entry above… it is getting pasted in the form of some odd character other than a simple minus sign. If the next attempt at a mailing goes smoothly then I'll try writing up the instructions neatly.

I WON!!! No.....seriously.......you all can quit now............dude, seriously.....
Beats the heck out of my onboard audio, if I win this I'll be upgradeing my headphones sooner than later
As I used to say while playing board games as a kid... "Is it my turn to win now!?"
I took taking turns very seriously.
I recently discovered that my A/V receiver will not pass any digital input through any of its analog outputs to my listening system, so I've been looking at DACs.
The missing link in my budget audiophile system!
I used to work for an DAC manufacturing company. I know good quality conversion when I hear it! Would love to have a listen!
The only dac I have right now is inside my Marantz CD 63SE! Time for me to get with the times.
Great idea, got me signing up! I definitely could use that.
It would be a great system match for me. Thanks !
Well, it looks like I didn't win those cables. But this nice DAC would be nice, also.
Hello, Count me in too...
Would love to get this DAC to connect to my iTunes library and Rotel amp.

Able2Extract User Reviews
out of 73 user reviews
"Did what it says!"
Version: Able2Extract 6.0
Converted a basic pdf file to excel
unsure; trial does not allow me to do much
"Very useful & handy tool for convertions from PDF"
Version: Able2Extract 6.0
Easy to convert files from PDF to editable WORD format. Even bulleted format is also maintained.
The appended table within the text also converted into broken lines (Horizontal & Vertical).
I used to scan the hard copy into PDF, then used to for OCR character recognition. after that, I used to select the text from the PDF file and paste in the word format. It was consuming lot of my time & efforts for getting the hard copies into editable word format.
Recently, I came across this tool, and down loaded the trial version. I used this tool for converting a big file from PDF to WORD. It was converted within seconds, and to my surprise it was editable. This is an excellent tool for convertions from PDF to word. It saved lot of time & effort for me. Thankyou able2extract
"It has saved me a huge amount of time"
Version: Able2Extract 6.0
I searched forever for software that would convert non-readable pdfs to a readable format -- eg Excel or Word. This is the best one I found -- and there were surprisingly few of them. I've never known it make mistakes converting pdf tables to Excel.
It's somewhat pricey (but definitely worth it for me, because it saves so much time). The OCR sometimes makes mistakes, depending on the quality of the source - but it's still very good. It uses a lot of resources on big docs. Close when not in use.
I spent literally years wishing I could find this product.
If you spend a lot of time transferring data from non-readable pdfs, do buy this. I'd say it paid for itself in about a day for me. Once you've downloaded the trial version, you can pay for the full one and it will install right away with the key they send you.
It's so much faster and less error prone than hand inputting. On readable documents (like pdf tables in text rather than image form) it never makes mistakes, and if you give it a half-decent source it's very good even on non-readable docs. I had it convert a 19th century foreign-language dictionary (in pdf off the web) of about 250pp in a very small font in two columns per page and it did a really good job. I don't know why one of the biggies like Adobe, Microsoft or Hewlett Packard doesn't offer a product like this. If they did, they'd probably charge a lot more.
It's easy and intuitive to use. I did get a bit fed up with the "helpful tips" it kept offering me, but you can turn those off once you get to know how to use it. On tables, it can only use a grid format, which can result in wider column headings, for example, getting split into more than one cell, and more flexibility here would be an improvement. Other than that, I can't think of anything bad to say about it.
"very good program"
Version: Able2Extract 6.0
when converting from PDF to excel, the converted data was perfect.
have not encountered any yet
I have used this program to convert PDF files to word and excel and the result have been very satisfying
"Cool program :)"
Version: Able2Extract 6.0
Converting PDF2Word & Exel
To basic, need advanced settings
"This does not allow for in depth converting to ppt"
Version: Able2Extract 6.0
For the purpose of what I need it for there are none. For basic converting I can see where it could be useful
1. Converts graphs and tables as separate text boxes
2. White space comes over as white instead of transparent so I can not put the document into company approved template
3. Changes font colors and spacing
"Compared to similar products, this deserves a 4!"
Version: Able2Extract 6.0
Converting PDFs to Excel has been such a pain. Typically required additional programming to massage data post-conversion. The default Able2Extract conversion did a great job!
Would like to batch-process with a custom template.
Help is a little sparse.
Compared to similar products, this deserves a 4!
"Not so Much"
Version: Able2Extract 6.0
Didn't see any
Interface a little clunky. Most importantly, it didn't convert usale text into Exel, Word or Text format.
"Clunky and patchy output"
Version: Able2Extract 6.0
Better than some of the others I tried, but still not exactly what I need
Clunky and patchy output
"This software worked well"
Version: Able2Extract 6.0
It made the conversion smooth
You have to purchase it
Good program

Movies are great for romance: a well-chosen date movie can get your relationship off to a flying start, and a good movie snog can be just the thing to get you moving in for a first kiss. But what about the bad movie snogs? Here are some of the least successful clinches in cinema history, and our attempt to explain what went wrong.

Theater Review | 'Sly Fox'
Stealthy, Wealthy, Joke-Wise
By BEN BRANTLEY
Published: April 2, 2004
THE latest medical reports affirm that there is still no vaccine for the debilitating disease known as avarice. Nor is there any evidence that jokes about old age, sexual desperation, rape, bodily functions and bodacious bimbos have gone out of fashion. (Just turn on the Comedy Channel some night.) The evil that men do in the name of Mammon, swindling as a favorite American sport, illegal high jinks among upholders of the law: the ink has yet to dry on headlines about those subjects.
Why then does Larry Gelbart's "Sly Fox," which trafficks briskly in all of the above, feel like such a relic? When this rowdy reinvention of Ben Jonson's "Volpone" first opened on Broadway in 1976, it was considered the last word in laugh-till-you-drop theater. And Mr. Gelbart's dissection of the lust for lucre would certainly seem to have a place in the age of the Enron and Tyco trials. Yet the sputtering revival that opened last night at the Ethel Barrymore Theater, with a big-name cast led by Richard Dreyfuss, only occasionally comes to full comic life. Though directed by no less a master than Arthur Penn, who staged the original Broadway version, the show brings to mind a car that's been left sitting in the garage for a couple of decades. It emits the occasional promising cough of ignition. But all the concentrated effort of a starry ensemble that just wants to be funny — and that includes Eric Stoltz, Bronson Pinchot and Elizabeth Berkley — can't make this production's engine turn over long enough to start purring.
In many ways "Sly Fox" would seem to belong to no particular era. Adapted from Jonson's play of 1606, about a filthy rich fellow who bilks his nasty acquaintances by pretending to be mortally ill, "Sly Fox" takes place in San Francisco in the late 1800's, when gold fever raged. Yet this comedy also has the distinctly salty flavor of the 1970's, when American cynicism blossomed in the shade of Watergate and the movie western was shedding its ideals and learning to talk dirty.
As the man who created the immensely popular television series "M*A*S*H," which made skewering sacred cows a homey pastime, Mr. Gelbart was a comic laureate of this age of disillusion. Mr. Penn, who came from a solid Broadway background ("The Miracle Worker," "Toys in the Attic"), had gone on to direct the iconoclastic film "Bonnie and Clyde," as well as antiestablishment favorites like "Little Big Man" and "Alice's Restaurant." And it seemed entirely appropriate when George C. Scott — the outspoken actor who had refused an Oscar for "Patton" — joined Mr. Penn and Mr. Gelbart to be the leading man of "Sly Fox."
By most accounts the chemistry crackled among these kindred spirits. "Be warned," Clive Barnes wrote in The New York Times on Dec. 15, 1976. "A man might die laughing at `Sly Fox.' " And everyone I know who saw the show at that time swears it had audiences convulsing in merriment.
But for "Sly Fox" to pull off the same triumph 27 years later, it requires a sweeping comic confidence that this incarnation lacks. In retelling the story of Foxwell J. Sly (Mr. Dreyfuss) and his swindling of the vultures who gather at his make-believe deathbed, the show offers firm evidence of Mr. Gelbart's gift for melding low humor with high polish. This is the man, after all, who wrote the shamelessly and deliciously burlesque book for "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum."
The dialogue still gleams with wicked delight and logical absurdity. ("Sit down or I'll throw a noose around the place and hang the whole building," says a judge to an unruly courtroom.) But such lines stand out as they might at a comedians' roast. So do the less felicitous ones. ("All the way back to biblical times of yore, rape has been one of the most heinous offenses known to man. And it can be pretty rough on women, too.")
What's crucially missing is the anarchic energy that would carry all the dialogue — from the tasteless groaners to the neo-Jonsonian aphorisms — before it. The performances need to be drawn with the same gargoylish strokes, so that the characters all seem to swim in — and be shaped by — the same toxic waters.
Several of the supporting cast members intermittently achieve this warped glory, most notably Bob Dishy, happily reprising the role he created in 1976 as an uxorious husband. But at the show's center, Mr. Dreyfuss and especially Mr. Stoltz (as Sly's servant, Simon Able) fail to set the standards of frenzied grotesquerie.
Mr. Dreyfuss, who won an Oscar for "The Goodbye Girl," appears disarmingly relaxed onstage. You can sense the actorly pleasure he takes from Sly's varied impersonations of an invalid. (Like George C. Scott, he gets to double in the role of the earthy Judge in the second act.) But you are also always aware of Mr. Dreyfuss the actor behind Fox the pretender.
Even when Sly is being the real Sly, Mr. Dreyfuss casually shifts tones of voice: sometimes sounding like Walter Brennan, sometimes like, well, Richard Dreyfuss. He makes sure that each joke scores. And he commands a sleazy, easy swagger that inspires hope for his next role: Max Bialystock in the London production of "The Producers." But he never makes the essential leap into monstrosity. He is smaller and less ugly than he needs to be.

Madrid - Two-time world footballer of the year Lionel Messi said that he was still playing the game as he did when he was a child growing up in Argentina, in an interview with Spanish newpaper El Mundo on Saturday.
The 23-year-old - who surprisingly edged Barcelona team-mates Xavi and Andres Iniesta for the 2010 world player of the year award - said that he realised he was being well paid for what he did but he couldn't shake off his old childhood habits.
"I have changed nothing, my style of play is still that of a child," said Messi, who in contrast to Xavi and Iniesta had a disappointing World Cup as Argentina were well beaten by Germany in the quarter-finals.
"I know that above all it is my job and that I should approach it in another way, but one must not lose sight of the fact that football is a game.
"It is imperative one plays to amuse oneself, to be happy. That is what children do and I do the same thing."
Messi, who is equal top scorer with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Primera Liga with 24 goals this term, revealed that he does have moments of self doubt, belying his usual placid temperament he displays on the pitch.
"When I am angry, I go into my shell, I become mad," he said.
"But that happens more often at home, alone, than on the pitch."
Messi said he enjoyed playing centre forward far more than where he had been slotted in on the wing when he first started.
"I began playing in this position last season and it is the ideal spot, because virtually all of our play at Barcelona comes through the centre," he said.
Messi said that he ignored the criticism he had received for what are seen to be below-par performances for the national side and his superlative form for Barcelona.
"Yes, that (criticism) annoyed me.
"But, happily, these criticisms are behind me.
"I am now very at ease in the national side and would like to win the World Cup one day.
"As far as I'm concerned, you are never really a great footballer until you have won one."
Messi also dismissed any comparison between himself and legendary compatriot Diego Maradona, who almost singlehandedly inspired Argentina to the 1986 World Cup trophy and coached Messi and his countrymen at the 2010 World Cup.
"Argentina has been searching for a long time for a successor to Diego.
"There was Pablo Aimar and then Javier Saviola... But there is only one Diego and it is illusory to want to have another one."

Are you looking for a BBQ pork recipe?
Pork is great for the grill, especially BBQ pork ribs. Pigs have a lighter color of red in their blood in comparison to a Bull or Cow.
In Pork there is less Myoglobin in the blood than beef and this is why pork cooks to a light grey or pink and beef to a darker grey or purple.
'Pound for pound' pork has more nutrients than chicken. These days pigs are bred 30% leaner than they did 30 years ago. This is why pork has become so popular!
On this Page we've Highlighted:
• Links To Pork Recipes
• Different Cuts of Pork
• What Pork to Buy
• Loin (chops, ribs, bacon and tenderloin)
• Shoulder Butt (sausage and roast)
• Leg (ham, cutlets and boneless roast)
• Side (spare ribs)
The difficulty with pork is to keep it tender while not over cooking it...Over cooked pork is like card board - tough and dry!
Remember the 'safe to eat' internal temperature be must be 175 degrees. The running juices should be a light pink color when the pork is done!
As soon as you see these signs take it off the grill, every minute passing by means your pork is getting drier and tougher!
Perfect...now you know the cuts, now lets look at what to buy!!
• Purchase cuts that are tender and low in fat. (loin or the leg)
• Get cuts that are even in thickness, making it easier for you to grill.
• Try purchase pork on the same day you plan to grilling. (the fresher the better!)
• If you are planning on grilling ribs, have a look at cooking barbeque pork ribs for a great grilling method. (can't beat pork ribs!)
• Avoid freezing pork whenever possible. If you had no choice don't defrost it in the microwave, rather let it thaw out overnight in the fridge.
• Rub your pork cuts with a delicious pork rub recipe. Not only does it add flavour, it also adds a protective layer for grilling!
• If you are grilling pork steaks remember to sear the outside with high heat for 2 to 3 minutes to lock in all the juices.
Then drop the temperature of the grill to let the center of the pork cook slowly. (With Charcoal use direct heat to start then indirect heat)
• Larger cuts like brisket and pork ribs need to be grilled nice and slow. This prevents the meat from drying out. Use an indirect grilling method for a constant low heat.Thank you for reading BBQ Pork Recipe!
