Classifieds:Original EV Gray Motor Available for Right Lab
From PESWiki
- March 20, 2013 11:14 AM Update:
- Hello Sterling,
- There has been a change of plans, and I must notify you that the gold/brown #2 ema motor and cart is no longer for sale. I am going to use the cart and other parts to mount ema #4 and get it running.
- Kind Regards.

Pure Energy Systems News
January 30, 2013
Today I spoke on the phone with Alan Francouer of BC, Canada, who has been doing research and development in electromagnetic overunity systems for maybe a couple of decades.
We've got a page about his Interference Disc Generator here at PESWiki.
He was very excited because he has figured out that the trick of the EV Gray motor may actually be in the controller, not in the motors themselves.
He said something about "standing waves" or "rogue waves" from the harmonics of combining natural waves into killer waves (using the ocean analogy for the electrical phenomenon), and being able to control that process for energy generation.
He's in process of reverse engineering an EV Gray motor controller that he was able to obtain, but needs to get some funds to complete this process.
Over the years, he has acquired three of the original motors used by Edwin V. Gray. He is willing to let go of one of these in order to get the funds to complete his project. (Doesn't include the controller.)
He called it the "Original Brown / Gold Motor" (if I heard correctly). He said $35,000 was paid to purchase the motor, and $3,000 in NOS (New old stock) GL-7171 ignitrons, and $5500 for 12 bran new identical 5kw 50uf original replacement capacitors. "The cost of the capacitors is cut in half to $2750, as six capacitors will go with the gold motor and six will remain here for the other two ema motors I have." It would probably be best if you picked it up from him in BC rather than having him ship it to you.
He gave me permission to make a recording of our conversation available to interested parties. I sent him a copy of that, so you can get that from him if you wish.
He probably would not appreciate me saying this publicly, but I found it interesting. Supposedly, Wilhelm Reich tells of having visits by what appeared to be extraterrestrial craft. Recently, now Alan says he has had such visits, and got one of them photographed.
Here is what Alan wrote about this on January 29, 2013 9:58 PM [GMT-7] (slightly edited)
- Hi Sterling,
- Here are two pictures of the UFO my wife Jan photographed on our property, and many others were taken; but these are the best two of the batch.
- We were standing there in complete amazement and awe and excitement during the entire event that took place while we were looking at the night sky on April 19, 2011.
- The first one clearly shows how these crafts can rapidly move in and out of our realm, while leaving behind what appears to be an ionized plasma trail displaying repeated colors that seem to reflect which direction the craft maneuvers. The second picture shows the craft just before it disappeared, which also has many different colored orbs. This was an absolutely amazing experience for us.
- If you zoom in close while also looking through at all the darken areas of the photograph, you will see a white orb, red orb, green orb and blue orb.
- We also eye witnessed many very strange and large fast moving zig zag orange colored orbs with very strange rapid pulsating deep black geometry patterns inside of them, while looking toward the south high in the night sky very shortly after the UFO in the photo disappeared.
- - - -
On 01 Feb 2013 13:06:35 -0700, in response to a comment below: "It's not a UFO. Neighbor kids are flying their RC helicopter or airplane with LED lights on, what they got for Christmas present. YouTube is full of similar videos of RC 'UFOs'." Alan wrote:
- Hello Sterling,
- What we witnessed was no slow or fast moving RC helicopter with LED lights (where are the blades and helicopter shape?), it was also not a balloon, it was not an airplane, it was not a satellite or Venus, it was not swamp gas or a fire fly or the space shuttle or the space station or even shaking hands on a stationary light during photo taking.
- What we witness and photographed was a genuine ufo that dropped in from space, moved with incredible speed. And right after the photos were taken, there were many incredible rapidly (zig zag) moving orange colored orbs that suddenly appeared (first they were small then grew very large or got closer to us) with deep black colored strange geometry shape patterns, that also pulsated at a very high rate before they also disappeared. And the event was then over leaving us standing there in awe wondering what the hell we just witnessed. I don't know how else to explain what we both witnessed with our naked eyes.
- I appreciate his opinion but in this very small town where everyone knows everyone, no one here has any RC helicopters or airplanes or anything else for that matter that can maneuver like that.
- Zoom in and observe the object real close and you can clearly see the 3d shape of the disc. I think the glowing tail could be some sort of light apparition effect from it's propulsion system generating the ionizes plasma trail, but you can also see what appears to be a shadow cast on it, suggesting there may be something tangible there. The appearance of a tail is also not visible on the last photo just before it disappeared, and the ufo also moved that much distance all in the short snap of the camera shutter, with no long exposure time. And the other pictures, that turned out blurry because the trees were in the way and the camera focused on the trees, also show this very rapid speed and glowing trail it left behind.
- Absolutely amazing craft.
- Sincerely
- Alan Francoeur

EXL has guided towards a revenue of $473-478 million for CY13, the results for which have not come out yet. Talking to FE, Rohit Kapoor, EXL Service CEO, said, We certainly want to scale up and take it to a billion dollars in the next few years, which will be a combination of organic growth and acquisitions.
The BPO company has done multiple acquisitions in the past, which include buying businesses and technology capabilities. Kapoor said they would be looking at acquisitions in the areas of healthcare insurance, analytics and technology platforms. This inorganic option is expected to provide them with non-linear growth and scale the business faster with their clients. The EXL CEO said the company expects to grow 20-25% on an annual basis in the next few years.
At the end of Q3 of 2013 calendar year, EXL reported revenues of $122.3 million with an annual growth of 9% and sequentially 5%.

Aries (3/21-4/19) This is a week to feel the outcomes of your choices, be they good or unpleasant. For the most part, you will be satisfied, but there are always unplanned consequences and even feelings that go along with change. Hang on, things will settle down.
Taurus (4/20-5/20) Your hard work will pay off, even if not in the exact way you hope. Make sure that you are motivated by honorable and positive intentions and not feeding unhealthy obsessions and pride. You do not have to prove yourself to anyone but you.
Gemini (5/21-6/20) Structure is returning to your life and although your feelings are mixed, there is a part of you that craves the predictability of a tight schedule. It is a good time to throw yourself into your work, as you have transitions ahead. Be prepared.
Cancer (6/21-7/22) You may be fighting a losing battle, but it is the process that is important, not the "outcome." Things will continue to change and you will learn from the experience. So hold onto your passion, even in the face of doubt.

He said that it was a burnt out tag light that got me stopped then i got in the paper work that it was a drug investigation how can it be both.
As I'm sure you can understand, I cannot possibly know what was in the mind of the officer. However, having read hundreds, perhaps thousands, of police reports, I can speculate. As to that, police officers often suspect a person of being involved in drug sales. But, if they have not established reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, they may look for a reason to detain the person. A traffic stop is often used as a pretext to come into contact with the person and, hopefully, to search them and find drugs. So long as the traffic stop is legitimate, this is perfectly lawful.
I am going off-line for the evening. Please feel free to respond, if necessary, and know that I will be back on-line tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.

The government is making an arrangement for market regulator Sebi getting access to call data records of people being probed by it in specific cases, but it will not get power to directly tap the phone calls, Finance Minister P Chidambaram has said.
"... Some arrangement is being made that the call data records will be supplied through the agencies entitled to get them to Sebi," Chidambaram said.
"They (Sebi) won't have the power to directly tap into the phone calls. Records can be made available to them by the authorities concerned. Some progress is being made," he said.
He was replying to queries about Sebi (Securities and Exchange Board of India) seeking access to call data records of people being investigated by it in cases related to the stock markets.
Asked about intelligence reports of some terror groups pumping in money in the stock market, Chidambaram said he was sure that Sebi would look into the matter if tainted money was flowing into the stock market.
Observing that the matter falls into the jurisdiction of the Home Ministry, Chidambaram said: "I can't conduct an enquiry into terror groups putting money into the stock market. If tainted money is flowing into the stock market, I'm sure Sebi will look into it. Intelligence reports are shared with Sebi also. I've no machinery to look into it, except Sebi."
On Sebi's demand for access to call data records, Chidambaram said: "I think some progress was made to make available to Sebi the call data records in specific cases, where an investigation is being done and they want call data records (for their investigation), I think some progress is being made, some arrangement is being made..."
Sebi Chairman U K Sinha had last month said that the market regulator has asked the government to provide it access to call data records of those suspected to have violated insider trading and other norms in the securities market.
Talking about comparison with insider trading cases in the US, such as the one involving Indian-origin banker Rajat Gupta, Sinha had said that investigation tools available with the American regulators are much more different.
"On the issue of tools for investigations, the case that you have cited, you know the methods that were used to crack that case," Sinha said, referring to the phone call records of people in the insider trading case involving Rajat Gupta.

Backstage Talk on Having No WWE Champion at Events, Bearer, More
– The WWE Magazine WrestleMania 29 special looks at 101 WrestleMania moments:
– Before his passing, William "Paul Bearer" Moody was scheduled to be honored with the Lou Thesz Award at this year's Cauliflower Alley Club convention. Former NWA Champion Adam Pearce announced that he has been chosen by the Moody family to accept the award on behalf of Moody.
– It was noted by a WWE source how odd it feels having no WWE Champion at live events for the past month and a half now. At the same time, WWE officials are surprised and pleased with the recent success they have seen with live event attendance on the Road to WrestleMania 29.

Asbestos and Lead Surveys
Partner conducts a limited, visual evaluation of accessible areas for the presence of suspect Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) and Lead based Paint (LBP) during every Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I) and Environmental Transaction Screen (ETS). Partner also performs various degrees of Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and Lead Based Paint (LBP) sampling, ranging from Limited Surveys to Demolition Surveys and Clearance Screens.
All handling and sampling procedures are done in accordance with EPA and OSHA's regulations. Partner uses various techniques such as Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), point count method, Transmission Election Microscopy (TEM), paint chip sampling, and x-ray fluorescence (XRF).
What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is the name given to a number of naturally occurring, fibrous silicate minerals mined throughout the world for its unique properties, such as; thermal insulation, chemical and thermal stability, and high tensile strength. Asbestos is commonly used as an acoustic insulator, thermal insulation, fire proofing and in other building materials. In addition to being mined, asbestos can be found naturally in the air outdoors and in some drinkable water.
There are six types of minerals defined as asbestos, which include: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite. The most common types used commercially are chrysotile (white), amosite (brown), and crocidolite (blue).
Common areas in the home where asbestos can be found include:
- Steam pipes, boilers, furnace ducts
- Resilient floor tiles
- Cement Sheet, millboard, paper
- Door gaskets
- Soundproofing or decorative material
- Patching and joint compound
- Asbestos cement roofing, shingles, and siding
How can Asbestos affect me?
Asbestos exposure is a health concern when high concentrations of asbestos fibers are inhaled over a long period of time. Most people exposed to small amounts of asbestos do not develop health problems. However, if asbestos material is disturbed it may release asbestos fibers, which can be inhaled into the lungs. After inhaled, asbestos fibers can remain and accumulate in the lungs, which over time may cause serious lung diseases including: asbestosis, lung cancer, or mesothelioma.
Airborne asbestos can occur after asbestos-containing materials are disturbed by cutting, sanding or other remodeling activities. Additionally, asbestos material that crumbles easily if handled is more likely to create a health hazard.
What can I do?
If you suspect your home or business has asbestos-containing materials present, don't panic. In general, material in good condition will not release asbestos fiber. And remember, there's no danger unless fibers are released and inhaled into the lungs.
Here are some things you can do to reduce your risk of exposure:
- Leave undamaged asbestos material alone.
- Contact Partner, or another trained/qualified inspector, to first determine if asbestos is present by sampling the material and then removing or encapsulating it.
- Should the material remain onsite undisturbed, Partner can create and implement measures to guide you on how to handle asbestos-containing materials in the future.
What is Lead-Based Paint?
Lead is a highly toxic metal that affects virtually every system of the body. While adults can suffer from excessive lead exposures, the groups most at risk are fetuses, infants and children under 6. Congress passed the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, also known as "Title X", to protect families from exposure to lead from paint, dust, and soil.
According to Section 1017 of Title X, "lead-based paint hazard is any condition that causes exposure to lead from lead-contaminated dust; bare, lead-contaminated soil; or lead-based paint that is deteriorated or intact lead-based paint present on accessible surfaces, friction surfaces, or impact surfaces that would result in adverse human health effects". Lead-based paint is defined as any paint, varnish, stain, or other applied coating that has 1 mg/cm2 (or 5,000 ug/g by weight) or more of lead.
According to the EPA, the most common sources of lead poisoning are from deteriorating Lead Based Paint, lead contaminated dust, and lead contaminated residential soil.
How can Lead Based Paint (LBP) affect me?
Lead poisoning can occur from the inhalation of lead dust or the ingestion of paint chips or soil that contains lead. Lead poisoning is more dangerous to children primarily because children's brains and nervous system are more sensitive to the damaging effect of lead. Long-term exposure to lead can lead to brain damage, nervous system damage, behavior and learning problems, slowed growth, hearing problems, and headaches.
Adults can also suffer from lead poisoning. Side effects of lead poison include reproductive problems, muscle and joint problems, high blood pressure and hypertension, memory and concentration problems, and nerve disorders.
What can I do?
If your home or building was built before 1978, there's a good chance that LBP is present. Similar to ACMs, LBP in good condition generally will not pose a threat to the building occupants.
If the paint is peeling, chipping, chalking, or cracking, contact Partner today for an inspection and sampling to determine if LBP is present.
Here are some things you can do to reduce your risk of exposure:
- Leave undamaged painted surfaces alone. Don't sand or remove the paint without sampling to confirm if lead is present.
- Clean up paint chips immediately.
- Keep children from chewing window sills or other painted surfaces.
- Contact Partner or another trained/qualified inspector to first determine if LBP is present by sampling the material and then removing or encapsulating it.
- Should the material remain onsite undisturbed, Partner can create and implement measures to guide you on how to handle LBP in the future.

Not bad. Two things, one major, one minor.
a) the mountains need work. There is no texture to them. It looks like you missed the bump map the mountain shape process over a cloud step. I would also suggest you take a look at RobA's other tutorial for drawing top down mountains as I think with some work this produces far superior results. Also, be on the lookout as Rob as posted some teasers for top town mountain techniques that are really cool and I assume he will share when his time permits.
b) You may also want to think about adding a bit more jaggedness to the coast line. As it stands now, it is pretty smooth. This is not a major thing, so you could live without doing this, but it would add a bit more to the map.

Dear Colleagues,
The energy to create a movement was palpable in New Orleans, just over three months ago when nearly 2,000 people participated in Regional Equity '08: The Third National Summit on Equitable Development, Social Justice, and Smart Growth. Held March 5–7, the event was marked by insightful conversation around economic and social equity issues facing our nation, and characterized by a determination to build a movement for change that would make all communities across the nation communities of opportunity for everyone.
Attendees came from urban, suburban, and rural communities across the country and reflected its racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity as well as a range of professional backgrounds and experience levels. Regional Equity '08 brought together smart growth, environmental justice, and equity advocates; labor leaders, community organizers, and civil rights champions; scholars, researchers, developers, funders, government, and business leaders; and members of the faith-based community to share important information and goals of how to advance equity. Speakers and participants traveled from 36 states, 120 cities, and from countries such as Canada, France, Uganda, and England to join in a riveting three-day discussion.
Through plenaries, workshops, caucuses, and site visits with examples of rebuilding efforts in New Orleans, attendees had the opportunity to share their insights about how to truly create a more equitable society. Participant comments and evaluations made it evident that they left the summit with a clearer vision about their individual role in the greater equity movement.
PolicyLink is pleased to make information from the summit available online:

Upside Down: A Primer for the Looking-Glass World (1998)
by Eduardo Galeano
No current Talk conversations about this book.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312420315, Paperback)
In a series of mock lesson plans and a "program of study" Galeano provides an eloquent, passionate, funny and shocking exposé of First World privileges and assumptions. From a master class in "The Impunity of Power" to a seminar on "The Sacred Car"—with tips along the way on "How to Resist Useless Vices" and a declaration of the "The Right to Rave"—he surveys a world unevenly divided between abundance and deprivation, carnival and torture, power and helplessness.
We have accepted a "reality" we should reject, he writes, one where poverty kills, people are hungry, machines are more precious than humans, and children work from dark to dark. In the North, we are fed on a diet of artificial need and all made the same by things we own; the South is the galley slave enabling our greed.

text: Rob Zombie has issued the following update:"I am sorry to say all [European] shows after June 26th had to be canceled. It is not because I am sick, it is not because we don't like you, it is not because of any of the rumors. Things have taken place that made us have to return to the U.S. after the 26th. We hate canceling and feel bad about this. It is a total drag on every level. We were looking forward to all these shows, will return and make it up to you." He added, "To clear up this new confusion. No, the [U.S.] shows in July are not canceled. Everything after June is fine." Rob Zombie recently welcomed ex-MARILYN MANSON drummer Ginger Fish into the current lineup of his band, replacing Joey Jordison, who is leaving to return to SLIPKNOT. The Pulse Of Radio asked Zombie if he could hear a difference in the group's sound with the new man on the kit. "It's hard to describe how they're different," he said. "I mean, you know, Joey's a very, like, more of a power drummer I would say, you know, just a more bombastic sort of drummer, and Ginger's more of a, kind of like a groove-style drummer. It's kind of funny 'cause as with anything, either style seems to work really well with our music, so it's good." Fish played his first shows with Zombie back in February while Jordison was touring Europe with his side band MURDERDOLLS. Jordison rejoined Zombie's band for some headlining U.K. dates before departing again. Fans will get to see Fish on the road with Zombie this summer, when Zombie co-headlines a string of North American dates with SLAYER. The trek begins on July 20 in Reading, Pennsylvania, finishing up on August 6 in Seattle.

Intel's Ivy Bridge chips run hotter than predecessors when overclocked
You may want to hold on to your wallet if you intend to grab hold of a new Ivy Bridge processor and overclock it. Overclocking in this context refers to forcibly running a microprocessor at a faster speed than intended by the manufacturer in order to gain a higher level of performance. The problem is that Intel's new Ivy Bridge processors get dangerously hot when pushed to the limit, to the tune of 68°F (20°C) hotter than a comparable Sandy Bridge processor.
According to PCWorld, an Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) i7-3770K processor operated at 4.9GHz by increasing the CPU voltage will see the processor temperature rise to about 212°F (100°C), the temperature of boiling water. Several theories were offered, including the greater number of transistors, lower default operating voltage chip or the comparatively less mature 22nm manufacturing process used to make the Ivy Bridge processor.
As reported on The Inquirer, Intel has maintained that the Ivy Bridge "meets quality and reliability expectations for parts operating under specified conditions." The company does however confirm that "users may observe higher operating temperatures when overclocking."
In a nutshell, overclockers may want to avoid Ivy Bridge for now.

There is no lack of talent in Motogp.To even be in the series tells people that you are amongst the best motorcycle riders in the world.Obviously the cream will float to the top.
But the cream in no good without the right equipment.
Rossi has proved that over the last two seasons.But it is no coincidence that the races are always won by factory bikes.They are superior,no question about it.If a satellite rider races his way to a race victory this season by beating the factory riders fair and square,i will admit i was wrong.

Cruz's camel lovePenelope Cruz nuzzled up to her 'Sahara' co-star at the Los Angeles premiere - a big, hairy camel.
The Hollywood actress then stunned the crowd last night (05.04.05) by locking lips with the four-legged beast.
The screen beauty - who met her fianc�'© Matthew McConaughey on set - recently admitted she had also fallen in love with the camel she had to ride while filming in the Sahara.
She said they built up a very special relationship and would spend hours riding the camel at sunset.
Penelope told Britain's Daily Mail at the time: "I had nightmares about the camel because people had told me they were mean and stupid - but they're not like that.
"After training for a long time, I really became friends with my camel. I would talk to him and he would answer.
"At the end of the day, I would ask for extra time for me to gallop around the desert. I loved it."
However, Cruz has decided on her true love and is reportedly set to wed McConaughey later this year.
The star couple will tie the knot at a lavish summer ceremony in Penelope's home city of Madrid, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.

The tiny particles called atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter. Atoms can be combined with other atoms to form molecules, but they cannot be divided into smaller parts by ordinary means.
- atom - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
The tiny units of matter known as atoms are the basic building blocks of chemistry. An atom is the smallest piece of matter that has the characteristic properties of a chemical element, such as hydrogen, oxygen, calcium, iron, gold, and neon. More than 90 types of atom exist in nature, and each one forms a different element. Elements are made up of only one type of atom-gold contains only gold atoms, and neon contains only neon atoms-but other substances are mixtures of different kinds of atoms. Atoms also join together chemically to form molecules. Matter is made up of molecules, atoms, and ions (electrically charged atoms or groups of atoms), so atoms are basic components of matter. Since atoms, ions, and molecules are very small, the bulk matter of everyday life consists of large amounts of these components. A glass of water, for instance, contains an extremely large amount (about 8 1024) of water molecules. Each water molecule is in turn made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom that have been combined chemically.

Ok, so I get home at a reasonable time after work for a change, and it's 65° out. 65°! I drive down to this new park just east of downtown where I'd been parking for months. I'm still too much of a lump to try to ride down the hill to get there and then end up climbing home. Anyway, I wanted to enjoy the weather and see what the Ohio River flooding was like around downtown. It was pretty neat, and a nice ride. There were some people along the riverfront with their kids checking out the high water, and some businessmen walking around to get to their cars. I took a spin along the river, looped around the stadiums a few times, rode over the river into Kentucky, and then headed back to the car.
As I approach the parking lot, I see some guy trying to break into my car! I shout out at him and he jumps into his SUV (of all things) to get away. I got an ok view of the license plate, and once I got home I phoned in a police report. There was some damage to the frame around my driver's side window, but that's about it. The thing that really steams me is that this is barely 100 yards from the Montgomery Inn Boathouse, a really nice restaurant with half a dozen vallets hanging out in the parking lot. I tell you it really steams my clams. See if I go down that way for a bike ride anytime soon.

The Pros and Cons of Blood Thinners

We also investigated the effect of adding a wood preservative on compressive strength development. Freeze-thaw resistance, shrinkage behavior, and the load-deformation behavior of the material were studied to determine the durability and ductility of the units. The study evaluates the viability of fly ash as a suitable material for masonry units through its physical, chemical, mechanical, and durability characteristics at fresh and hardened states.
But WFFA has some potential shortcomings. Since this material is made of wood fibers, its long-term durability performance requires further investigation, although freeze-thaw resistance appears to be excellent.
Strength development is slower compared to concrete because of the slow reaction capability of high calcium fly ash. As wood fibers are prone to decay, special care may be needed at the jobsite or in producing the units. Aesthetic appearance of this material currently may not be viewed as flexible as CMU or clay brick. The interaction of this material with other additives, and long-term performance still require investigation.
The materials used in preparing WFFA masonry units included wood fibers from white oak, an ASTM Class C fly ash from a nearby power plant, Type I portland cement, chemical admixture(s), wood preservation material, and potable water. The wood fibers used in the study were obtained from treetops (upper and lower limbs) and branches from locally grown white oak. The moisture content of the obtained wood fibers was 2%, in accordance with ASTM C 566-04.
Our study identified an optimum amount of wood fiber and fly ash content to obtain a desired target compressive strength of 1000 psi. This target was selected to compete with low-end masonry products and aerated autoclave concrete. We investigated the change in the strength level due to adding cement to obtain a comparison value. This allowed us to predict the strength of units, with and without cement content, to determine a feasible strength range level.
Thirty-five mixture proportions were selected based on discussions with members from industry, a literature search, and past experiences of research team members. From this phase, a general mixture was finalized. Nine test specimens per mixture were produced; three specimens per test would be tested.

45 King, a producer who has earned praise for instrumentals he's crafted for Eminem, Jay Z and Queen Latifah, among others, recently announced that he had a heart attack.
"Had a heart attack...Wednesday [January 22]," 45 King said in his Twitter statement. "My blood needs more oxygen. It's a hard knock life...Wish me luck!"
45 King's reference to "Hard Knock Life" recalls the beat he produced for the Jay Z selection of the same name.
"He goes in an out of the scene," Jay Z said of 45 King in an excerpt from a film on King's YouTube page. "He came back and he made 'Stan' for Eminem. He does these great and remarkable cultural things that grab culture. He's actually a genius in that way. And then he just disappears for years."
45 King's Twitter update can be found below, followed by the clip from 45's YouTube page which features Jay Z.

There has been a lot of talk about a Congressional Congenital Heart Caucus in the advocacy world. Caught wind of it yet? Listen up – it's important! We need you to motivate your Representative to listen up, too, and join the Caucus.
In February of 2012, Congressman Gus Bilirakis introduced the Congressional Congenital Heart Caucus as a tool to communicate with members of the House of Representatives about the important issue of congenital heart disease.
Here are a few frequently asked questions:
What is a caucus?
A caucus is a group of members of the House of Representatives who share some commonality. Members form caucuses to organize themselves, to build social ties, to disseminate information, and/or to coordinate and promote legislative agendas.
Why is it important?
A caucus is an important vehicle for disseminating information about congenital heart disease. Whether it is through email or a briefing, the caucus can share information with its members about research advances, updates on federal agency activities related to CHD, and key legislation that may impact people with CHD. It can also serve as an awareness tool, not only for our Members of Congress, but as they pass this vital information to their constituents. While a caucus is an organization for Members of Congress, it is also an indicator of the strength of coalitions for the public at large. It's another symbol that we are being heard in Washington.
Who runs the Congenital Heart Caucus?
Currently, Congressman Bilirakis is the Chair of the Caucus. In turn, we are able to work with the Congressman's office to provide him with the information we feel is important to share.
Why is the Caucus only in the House?
The Senate is much smaller in number, making general communication less difficult. The Senate does have a mechanism to focus on a specific issue, called a workgroup.
We want YOUR Representative to join the Caucus – invite them today by using the sample letter below!!
Every voice counts. Please take just a moment and send an email or make a phone call to your member of Congress.
3 Easy Steps:
Sample Letter
Dear Senator/Congressman [Fill in name here],
I am writing to urge you to request to continue to provide $2 million to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for congenital heart disease surveillance and National Institutes of Health funding for much needed research.
[Include a few sentences about your story and why it is important to you here]
Congenital heart disease continues to be a leading cause of premature death, particularly in infants. However, the population of survivors is growing. Estimates suggest there are nearly 2.5 million people alive today dealing with the long term consequences of congenital heart disease, including multiple complex medical complications. Congenital heart disease is a serious public health problem.
[If you are writing to your Representative, you can also ask them to join the Congenital Heart Caucus here]
If you would like any additional information or sample report language, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you,
[Your Name, Your city/state]
Your story, your connection with congenital heart defects, is the most powerful tool you have for moving legislators into action.
Social media also has the potential to be an incredible advocacy tool. By using social media together with existing ACHA advocacy efforts, we can offer an even greater impact. You can use tools such as Facebook and Twitter to connect with legislators, engage your friends, and bring the CHD community together.
Occasionally, there are times when we need you to urgently connect with your lawmakers. We communicate these through emails called Action Alerts. To receive updated information on opportunities to take action, please join our email list by contacting email@example.com. You can also check back to this page frequently, as we post our action alerts at the top!
Membership is free! You'll get materials, discussion forum access, event invitations, e-communications and more.
ACHA professional members receive materials discounts, plus other benefits.
Access our searchable tool to learn more about current ACHD programs.

The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 has led many employers to re-examine their document retention policies so they'll be prepared if they are sued under its provisions, but some experts say more work needs to be done.
The act provides that every paycheck resulting from a previous discriminatory pay decision constitutes a violation of several federal laws, meaning employers may have to go back decades to provide documentation to defend against such claims.
A survey released in August 2009 by Hewitt Associates of 1,156 organizations found that 88 percent were aware of the law. It found that 38 percent had conducted a pay-equity analysis, but 36 percent had taken no action in response to the law.
"Now that litigation over compensation decisions can potentially reach back 20 years or more, it's become important for employers to hold on to records of when and why certain compensation decisions were made," says Jeffrey D. Polsky, a partner with law firm Fox Rothschild in San Francisco.
Philip K. Miles III, an associate with McQuaide Blasko in State College, Pennsylvania, says: "Employers should be looking at how they document their compensation decisions, with an eye toward building a record that can be used many years down the line.
"Today's compensation decision could result under the Fair Pay Act in a claim several years down the road, and long after the people involved in the compensation decision have moved on," Miles says. "It may be the only thing they have."
Liz Snyder, a senior consultant with Hewitt Associates, says that employers "are a little bit confused about what they need to keep indefinitely, but what we're seeing and what we're telling them is, anything related to their pay decisions—which is not only their payroll files and their compensation programs but also performance reviews and any of the decisions and guidelines around starting pay, promotional pay, merit increases"—should be retained.
"Some employers also are looking more seriously at conducting pay-equity analyses," Snyder says.
However, Mark W. Batten, a partner with Proskauer Rose in Boston, says, "In my experience, most employers are still not doing what they need to do in that area."
Richard D. Tuschman, an attorney with Epstein Becker & Green in Miami, says his impression is that "most employers don't have real good records on why pay decisions are made at any stage of the game, much less retaining records that go back several years or more."
However, Snyder says, "I think they're moving in the right direction" in re-evaluating their record retention policies.
"I think that employers have become a lot more aware that they need to make sure that their procedures and decisions are objectively verifiable and objectively reasonable, because things can live on," says Martha J. Zackin, of counsel with law firm Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky & Popeo in Boston.
Observers note, however, that while employers might have the right policies in place, they might not have adequately trained their managers and supervisors in their policies' implementation.
"Individual managers and supervisors can have the biggest impact" on a company's potential risk in this area, says Fred Crandall, a senior consultant with Towers Watson in Chicago.
"Employers really need to firm up their structure, firm up their training of managers, have specific criteria for compensation decision-making, and then monitor it so the criteria are being followed," Snyder says.

text: What special people we have living in Auburn. Maria (Moreno), who owns Maria's Mexican Tacos, was a big help when we hosted the homeless from the Gathering Inn. About every other month, our church has the privilege of serving a meal to the homeless. For our November meal, we decided to do a Mexican dinner. Our chef, Harry Street, approached Maria for expert help and advice. Maria supplied 39 pounds of cooked beef, chicken and pork for about 80 people. In addition, she donated a pot of Mexican-style cooked pinto beans. She also made and donated two gallons of pico de gallo salsa. She did not charge us for the beans or the salsa. The homeless loved the dinner and made comments, like, "Best Meal Ever." Maria is truly a giving person. Thanks, Maria. RICHARD and MARY TURRIETTA, Auburn

Gustavus gymnast Amanda Parker was named Outstanding Senior Athlete of the Year by the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA) this past weekend in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The award, which is selected by a vote of all coaches in the NCGA, is awarded for outstanding accomplishments in gymnastics, academics, and public service.
In her gymnastics career at Gustavus, Parker has been a national champion in the all-around (2002) and vault (2002) as well as earning All-America honors nine times. She holds virtually every Gustavus individual event record including all-around score (38.05), uneven bars score (9.65), and vault score (9.750). She ranks second in balance beam score (9.675) and third on floor exercise score (9.775). Parker's all-around score of 38.05, which she recorded at the 2004 national meet, is the third highest score recorded in the 21-year history of the NCGA.
Outside of the gymnastics studio, Parker is an outstanding student and a committed public servant. She maintains a 3.987 grade point average with a major in political science and will attend law school beginning next year. A two-time First Team CoSIDA Academic All-America selection, Parker is a candidate for a NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship which will be announced in mid-April and she is also a member of Gustavus' Phi Beta Kappa chapter. In the community, the Ames, Iowa native has taught English and math classes to adults in the English as a Second Language program, served as a legal aid providing free legal services to underpriviliged families , and served as a tutor for English students at St. Peter high school.
Parker is the fifth Gustavus gymnast to receive this prestigious honor following Kari Gilliespie (1995), Shannon McGee (1996), Kristen Edmondson (1997), and Ellie Roscher (2002).

BARCELONA, Spain, June 11. OLYMPIC champion Ruta Meilutyte blasted through the 30-second barrier in the long course 50 breaststroke today at the Barcelona stop of the Mare Nostrum series, setting a European record in the process. Meanwhile, Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom picked up two victories in the city which will host the FINA World Championships next month.
Meilutyte, the reigning 100 breast Olympic champion who represents Lithuania, posted a 29.96 in today's final to erase Yulia Efimova's European record of 30.10 from 2009. The swim is a world textile best in the event, making Meilutyte the first female under 30 seconds in the event in a textile suit. American Jessica Hardy still owns the world record with a 29.80 from 2009. Notably, Hardy had previously owned the textile best with her 30.03 from the 2010 Pan Pacific championships.
Today's swim marks Meilutyte's second European record of the past few days. On Saturday, she broke her own European record in the 100 breast with a 1:05.20 on Saturday in Monaco.
Meilutyte did not swim the women's 50 breast final alone, but she had no competition, winning the race by more than a second. Denmark's Rikke Moeller Pederson finished second in 31.00, and Russia's Valentia Artemyeva grabbed third in 31.58. Pederson, meanwhile, came back later in the session to win the 200 breast in 2:22.93. No one else has been faster this year, as Pederson holds the top time in the world at a blistering 2:20.53. Japan's Kanako Wantanabe finished runner-up in 2:25.20, and Russia's Irina Novikova grabbed third in 2:25.33.
Sweden's Sjostrom earned two victories, in the women's 50 and 200 free events. Sjostrom won the 50 in 24.73, edging the 24.90 of Germany's Britta Steffen. Sjostrom finished just short of her sixth-ranked 24.70 from earlier this year, while Steffen tied Natalie Coughlin and Femke Heemskerk for eight in the world. Denmark's Jeanette Ottesen Gray picked up third in 24.96.
Sjostrom came back later in the women's 200 free, where she used a blazing last lap to overtake Hungary's Katinka Hosszu. Sjostrom split 28.63 on the final 50 to win in 1:57.72, over Hosszu's 1:58.24. Hosszu had swum a meet record-time of 1:57.14 in prelims, breaking Tang Yi's mark of 1:57.64 from 2010 and moving her up to ninth in the world. Meanwhile, Spain's Melanie Costa Schmid finished third in 1:58.33.
Hosszu did, however, earn a victory in the women's 400 IM. The 2009 world champion in the event, Hosszu clocked 4:35.60 for the triumph, bumping her up to fifth in the world, just behind fellow Hungarian Zsuzsannah Jakobos. Spain's Mireia Belmonte Garcia took second in 4:39.90, and Brazil's Joanna Maranhao picked up third place in 4:45.89. Meanwhile, Ottesen Gray took the win in the women's 100 fly in 57.89. That fell a bit short of her second-ranked 57.63 from Saturday in Monaco. Slovakia's Katarina Listopadovka finished second in 59.47, and Norway's Ingvild Snildal touched third in 59.62.
Two South African Olympic gold medalists from a year ago swam in Barcelona in their respective gold medal events, but only one earned a victory. Cameron van der Burgh took the men's 100 breast title in 1:00.38, which left him just one one-hundredth of a second outside of the world top-ten. Brazil's Felipe Lima grabbed second in 1:00.82, and New Zealand's Glenn Snyders finished third in 1:01.12.
Meanwhile, Chad Le Clos swam a 2:02.14 200 fly in prelims to finish ninth, and he had to settle for a win in the event's B-final in 1:57.02. Hungary's Bence Bizco won the A-final in 1:56.71, just edging Japan's Yuki Kobori. Kobori finished second after a tight battle with Bizco the entire race. Russia's Nikolay Skvortsov came in third at 1:58.53. Le Clos also finished runner up in the men's 50 fly, clocking 23.90, while countryman Roland Schoeman set a meet record of 23.30 to take the win. Russia's Nikita Konovalov took third in 23.98.
Japan's Aya Terakawa put up a meet record in winning the women's 100 back. The top swimmer in the world this year at 59.47, Terakawa touched in 59.47. Canada's Sinead Russell edged Spain's Duane Da Roche Marce for second place, 1:00.56 to 1:00.64. Belmonte pulled away from New Zealand's Lauren Boyle to win the women's 800 free. Belmonte stopped the clock at 8:26.00, while Boyle came in at 8:28.60, and Erika Villaecija Garcia finished third in 8:35.83.
South Africa's Gerhard Zandberg won the men's 50 back in 25.14. The 2007 world champion in the event did not swim at the 2012 Olympics but has a history of strong performances in this non-Olympic event. Spain's Aschwin Wildeboer Faber grabbed second in 25.33, while Israel's Johnatan Kopelev touched third in 25.47. Germany's Yannick Lebherz took a tight men's 200 back in 1:59.02, overtaking New Zealand's Gareth Kean on the final lap. Kean finished second in 1:59.32, and Hungary's Gabor Balog took third in 1:59.77.
Japan's Daiya Seto won the men's 200 IM in 1:59.00, while Germany's Markus Deibler took second in 2:00.81. South Africa's Michael Meyer ended up third in 2:02.26. Spain's Hamser Hernandez Garcia took the men's 100 free title in 49.14, while Russia's Evgeny Lagunov edged Japan's Sinri Shioura for second, 49.40 to 49.47. South Africa's Myles Brown ended the night with a men's 400 free triumph in 3:52.47. Japan's Ayatsugu Hirai finished second in 3:52.70, just touching out Finland's Matias Koski, who swam a 3:52.86.

Texas water utilities are struggling in the face of a record-breaking drought.
"More than 30 small Texas public suppliers could run out of drinking water in 45 to 90 days as the state's drought worsens," the Associated Press reported in late May.
State officials said no residents would go without water. If a supplier runs out, the water could be trucked in.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality "takes an active role in assisting these water systems, from helping to secure new water supplies, reuse and conserve existing supplies, and working with other funding agencies in seeking resources for new alternative water supplies, treatment and infrastructure," spokesman Terry Clawson said in an email to the AP.
Water is already being trucked in at some locations.
"Critical drought conditions in one North Texas city have forced an entertainment park to truck in well water for its slides and river float attraction," the Associated Press reported in a separate piece.
Castaway Cove Waterpark "plans to haul up to 9,000 gallons of well water daily. The wells have been tested by an independent lab so the water complies with state health regulations. Park revenues will pay the estimated $70,000 water-hauling cost," the report said.
Back in 2012, Spicewood Beach was the first place in Texas to use up all its water.
"Spicewood Beach is a small community of some 1,100 people, about 40 miles outside of Austin, Texas in the Hill County. On January, 30, 2012, it became the first Texas town to run dry during the current drought," NPR reported.
"About 90 percent of the state is designated under some sort of drought condition," Gregory Morgan with the City of Tyler Utilities and Public Works recently said to KETK.

STATELINE (WIFR) -- Below is advice for homeowners, business owners, and renters who may suffer, are suffering, who have suffered flooding as a result of heavy rainfall.
CHICAGO--The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) is offering the following advice to help home owners, business owners and renters who have suffered, or may suffer, flooding today as a result of the heavy downpours in the greater Chicago area, including northeastern Illinois, southeastern Wisconsin and northwestern Indiana:
There are certain things you can do to salvage property and minimize further damage:
• Keep all receipts for anything you buy for that purpose so you can submit them to your insurance company later.
• Report all damage to your insurance company or agent as soon as you can in order to settle your claim more quickly and accurately.
• Make a list of damaged items. If possible, put together a set of records, such as receipts, bills and photographs, to establish the age of everything that needs to be replaced or repaired.
• Identify structural damage to your home and make a list of everything you want to show the adjuster.
• Don't throw out damaged furniture or other expensive items. The adjuster will want to see them. It also is a good idea to take photographs of the damage before you start cleaning it up.
• Shovel or scrape mud off your floors, furniture and walls before the mud dries. Then hose down the walls with clean water, starting from the ceiling.
• Major appliances, such as refrigerators and stoves, can be washed and dried completely. In most cases, they will not be damaged unless they were operating at the time the water covered them.
• Diluted chlorine bleach can be used to clean household items, appliances, walls and floors. This also will help control odors.
• Wood furniture should be dried outdoors, but not in direct sunlight. Remove drawers and other moving parts before they dry.
• A flooded basement should be pumped gradually to prevent structural damage. Pump out about a third of the water per day.
• Food utensils and equipment should be washed thoroughly and sterilized before you use them. Any food that is open and exposed to flood waters should be discarded.
• Use public water only after it has been declared safe by an authorized official.
Additionally, the Federal Emergency Management Agency can be contacted at 800-621-3362 or www.fema.gov, and consumers who have flood insurance policies through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) can contact either their flood insurance agent or the NFIP itself at 800-427-4661 or www.floodsmart.gov. Also, please go to PCI's online Flood Headquarters resource at http://www.pciaa.net/web/sitehome.nsf/lcpublic/730?opendocument.

I'll be going to Amicalola Falls State Park on March 3rd. Anyone know any good (non-MTB) routes up there?
I'm staying in the cottages, it looks like I have access to the 52, I don't know if bikes are allowed on that road or not. If not, I can borrow someone's car and drive a bit.
I'm looking for something 20 - 40 miles. Nothing extremely hilly. Preferably something that takes advantage of the scenery. I have my first century two weeks later, I want to make sure I'm not slacking off.
