Music, beauty, God, and life
Music Scythian's Danylo Fedoryka is unabashedly pro-life | Warren Cole Smith
WILKESBORO, N.C.—Characterizing the music of the Washington, D.C.-based band Scythian is no easy task. The quintet led by brothers Danylo and Alexander Fedoryka feature banjo, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin. That sounds like bluegrass. But the group also has a rollicking drummer, plus an accordion and a viola, with touches of Celtic and Gypsy (from the brothers' Ukrainian ancestry), not to mention a frenetic stage presence with large doses of audience interaction. Think of a house party where bluegrass meets klezmer, with all your crazy cousins thrown in for good measure.
Whatever you call it, Scythian is becoming something of a phenomenon. With eight years, 1,200 live shows, and five albums under its belt, the band has become regulars on the festival circuit, often playing for audiences that number in the thousands.
But if their music is hard to peg, 34-year-old Danylo Fedoryka's pro-life views are unambiguous. The guitarist, accordionist, and vocalist conspicuously plasters pro-life stickers all over his guitar case, and he will talk about his views on the sanctity of life with whomever asks him, as he did with me at MerleFest, which took place last weekend in the foothills of western North Carolina.
First of all, Danylo, before I talk to you about your pro-life views, let me say that you guys killed it in your show here at MerleFest. Oh man, it was an incredible crowd. We just couldn't believe it. Everybody's seated on a hillside, so you can see everybody. It's just an incredible experience from our perspective.
You guys have played here before, right? This is actually our fifth official year at MerleFest. What an honor to be here.
What's different about Merlefest from the other things you do? It's a dry [no alcohol] festival. So it's one of the best family-friendly festivals I've ever seen. The kids are just as into it as the adults. It's really a unique experience because it's very safe, so parents feel very comfortable having their kids here. It's a lot of fun for us.
Speaking of kids, you played for thousands up on the Hillside Stage and then you came over to the "Little Pickers" tent, which is for the kids, and you packed them in there, too. I'm one of 10 children myself, and I have 26 nephews and nieces. My brother and I founded the band. But at home we were also making music for our nephews and nieces, so we put together an album for kids called Cake for Dinner with the songs we wrote for them. So this is a side project that we have just so we can play for kids, because there's nothing as pure and as innocent as a child. They don't care who you are. They don't care if you're famous. If you're making fun music and if you're interacting with them, they're just completely full of joy. We love that.
Tell me about the pro-life stickers on your guitar case. I'm very pro-life for several reasons. For one, if my mom had not been pro-life, there's a high likelihood I wouldn't be here. I'm the eighth of 10 children, and she was a concert pianist. If you're a concert pianist, you know, you have your career. So she'd probably want only one or two children if she hadn't been so committed to her family and to life.
So from a very early age I knew the value of life. I had all my siblings around me and each of those lives made my life so much richer. I've been really pro-life my entire life.
Add to that the fact that they're innocent babies in the womb. A lot of people talk about the reasons [they are pro-abortion] but they forget about the child. My grandfather was a freedom fighter during the Second World War and he was put into Auschwitz. He survived, thank God, but just the fact that one group of people was able to say that another group of people weren't, in fact, people at all. … There's a lot of similarity to what's going on today. They're saying, "Oh it's a fetus, not a person." So it really hits close to home in more than one way for me, and I just feel like I need to speak up for those that can't speak.
In the music business that's not a real popular view. For you to take a stand for life, have you experienced any backlash because of that? No, not really, because our band isn't really political. My mom always said you play music to touch the soul, because there's beauty in music. God is in beauty. And if you really want to touch people, you have to touch their hearts first before you get into anything political. But I put my stickers on there because people will come up to me and I can actually engage them in a conversation and hopefully shed some light on the subject. It's not to be belligerent or "out there"; it's a silent witness and that's my purpose for having those stickers on there. And for the most part, if people find out, they just admire the fact that I stand for something that I believe in.

Can someone suggest me how to implement a pop-up window in Java Swing. I want the pop-up window to be a modal window (user cannot return to the main window when the pop-up is open).
I tried doing it using JDialog but it allows only one widget for user input to be in it whereas I need multiple widgets. I may be wrong here but this is what I was able to do.
Appreciate your help.

I've got a interrupted sinusoidal map (a gore map, I read somewhere), and I'd like to make it equirectangular. Problem is, I don't know how and I don't know where to look anymore.
The map has 12 sections of 30°, and the WIP thread is here. I will also attach the map at the end of this post.
While I have come across a couple of promising looking projection programs, I haven't had much luck with them. I just can't get my head around Geocart, though it does look like it can do precisely what I want it to do. I was trying out the demo, so that may have been why I didn't get it to work. waldronate's ReprojectImage does do sinusoidal, but not an interrupted one (at least not as far as I can see).
I've seen GDAL and QuantumGIS mentioned, but I have no experience in using a command line interface, and I'd rather not look around for ages and try to learn a new software if it turns out it can't do what I'd like after all.
Other projection software I've come by only accept equirectangular (which is why I want the projection in the first place).
Maybe I'm just being slow and the answer to this is right in front of my eyes. If you know how, please do tell. I'd really appreciate it.

Yes, it's really happening. You may have forgotten, but at the beginning of the year it was announced that The Weinstein Company were pushing forward with a sequel to Ang Lee's smash hit "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," with plans to shoot this past May. While that didn't exactly happen, the project now has a new start date and more importantly, a key cast member.
EW reports that Zhang Ziyi — who will kick ass in "The Grandmaster," opening this weekend — is in talks to return as Jen Yu in flashback sequences in the movie now called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon — The Green Destiny." The film has a script from John Fusco ("The Forbidden Kingdom," "Hidalgo") and is based on the book "Silver Vase, Iron Knight," the fifth book in "Iron Pentalogy" ('Crouching Tiger' was the fourth), with story centering on Yu Shu Lien. Michelle Yeoh will also return take on that latter role, with Donnie Yen also on board the sequel as Silent Wolf.
Worryingly, Ronny Yu ("China White," "Freddy Vs. Jason") was initially in talks to direct, but now that job has been taken over by legendary fight choreographer Wo Ping Yuen, who worked on that first film, and mostly recently with Zhang on Wong Kar-Wai's effort. Lensing is slated to begin next March, though the reason for his movie happening at all is still up for debate. Until we know more, and see how it all plays out, here's a vintage 20-minute conversation with Ping.

No, we cannot afford her. Gov. Carcieri seems to be intent on destroying the state before he packs up the executive office and leaves in January 2011. He reminds me of a vindictive foreclosed homeowner who destroys the place before he's evicted.ReplyDelete

It is one thing to appoint a director of EDC and another thing to give her/him the tools and authority to do the job and not only to attract business to the state but keep the business we have.

2014: Sussex continues efforts to improve serviceNew-look administration building will offer one-stop shopping
Sussex County government will continue to improve its efficiency and effectiveness in the coming year, says County Administrator Todd Lawson.
As Lawson begins his third year in the post, he said most of what the county accomplishes in 2014 had its start in 2013. "We are starting to see the effects now," he said.
Improved customer service has been high on the county hit list. Over the past three years, the county has invested $1.8 million in a state-of-the-art computer system that better integrates county departments and improves customer service – highlighted by a new and improved county website.
This spring, the county will take another major step by finishing a $420,000-improvement project to the county administration building at 2 The Circle. When work is completed, customers will have what Lawson calls a one-stop shop to get a building permit, dog license or marriage license, get plans reviewed and pay bills. County customers will no longer have to walk to office all over the building.
Ultimately, Lawson said, the county would like to provide a greeter to mirror what the Delaware Department of Motor Vehicles does to assist customers with questions and direct them to the proper departments.
"In this area we are going to pull our foot off the pedal a little and see if our customer-service design works," Lawson said.
Much of the work in and around the lobby is complete. Beneath the lobby, a new conference room with upgraded technology is under construction to provide video conferencing and video streaming. Council will also use the room for executive sessions.
Lawson oversees more than 490 employees – down from nearly 550 in 2009 – and an overall budget of $123 million for fiscal year 2014.
Emphasis on staff training
Lawson said staff wants more training, and it didn't take long for him to institute the Sussex County Leadership Development Course run by new employee Ann Delnegro. In addition, the second floor of the West Complex building has been converted to a conference/training room complete with technology required for training on computer software programs.
Lawson said it's imperative that staff have the proper skills to deal with the public.
He said training has already started to pay off in financial savings, staff morale and staff knowledge. "This has really helped improve the culture of our staff," he said. "Employees are seeing this as an investment in them and their professional development."
He said Delnegro has developed a training program designed specifically for Sussex County's needs. "The county has never done this before," he said.
Eye on the construction industry
In 2014, Lawson said, county administration will need to keep a keen eye on building trends. So far this fiscal year, building-related revenue is up between 20 and 30 percent, which requires more work for county staff. Building-related revenue is the financial engine that drives Sussex County's operating budget.
"We have to make sure we have the appropriate staff to stay on schedule," Lawson said.
Over the past four years, a lull in new construction led to cutting back on hiring and retraining staff for different positions. Lawson said as construction picks up, the county could be shorthanded, but more time will tell the true story. "It's something we have to stay on top of," he said.
Realty transfer taxes – split with the state – account for 32 percent, or $16 million, of the county's anticipated general fund revenue. Other building-related revenue totals about $2.4 million.
Airport runway work will continue
Several key capital projects will be completed in the coming year. The $2.7 million Greenwood library is set to open at the end of February or in early March.
Improvements are planned to the older section of the county's main runway at the county's airport. Included in the $4.5 million project is repaving and re-grooving of a 4,500-foot section of the runway, the same runway that was extended 500 feet in 2013. The project also includes improved runway lighting and instrumentation equipment.
In addition, Lawson said, the county will continue work toward securing funding for a second 500-foot extension of the runway to complete the goal of a 6,000-foot runway at the airport. During the next phase, Park Avenue, the truck bypass route around Georgetown, will be realigned, which will require funding from the Delaware Department of Transportation. Lawson said while there is no funding for the roadwork this fiscal year, it would not stop design work for the project.
Four new paramedics units will begin service in 2014, and staff will look at building a new Station 105 in Bethany Beach in a continuing effort to get out of leased building arrangements. The county spends more on the paramedic department – $13 million in fiscal 2014 – than any other department.
Expansion of sewer districts
Sewer is big business for Sussex County, and plans are in the works to expand the county's system by eliminating old individual systems and providing access to new developments within county planning areas. The work requires several phases that usually occur over several years, Lawson said.
Getting underway is the $167,000 Goslee Creek planning area study to look at the feasibility and costs associated with providing sewer to a large area between Beaver Dam Road to east of Route 24 north of Love Creek. At least four approved or planned subdivisions and possibly a new elementary school are included in the planning area.
The focus of the county's sewer business will continue to be elimination of individual septic systems in the Inland Bays watershed, but as less and less land in eastern Sussex County is available to serve, other areas of the county become targets for central sewer.
"The evolution of the county's sewer system is moving westward toward Route 24 and Route 23," Lawson said. "Potential users drive where we go."
Reminder to County Council as they ponder the Love Creek RV Park zoning/conditional use decision - RV parks pay NO realty transfer tax. The County Finance study that is in the public record indicates that residential development will significantly benefit the county economy versus an RV park on the contested site near Love Creek. Make sure to consider this in your deliberations. Plus the new school location, plus the environmental problems, plus traffic, plus safety, etc.
The RV park owners do pay a realty transfer tax when they purchase the land. Also they will be paying property taxes as well. And the tourists who visit the RV park will not consume county resources (schools, medical care, social services, etc.).
So the RV park will be a net benefit to the taxpayers. Plus the RV park will provide much needed jobs.
And in addition, your house value will decline if a housing development is built there instead (remember supply and demand - more houses available means your house is worth less).
I'm sure County Council is aware of the net benefits of this RV park and will vote accordingly.
Ask the people who have houses or condos next to Jungle Jim's if their house values increased when Jungle Jim's was built. All you have to do is look at listings to see which properties are on the "quiet side" vs the side next to JJ's that are priced lower.
If supply and demand applied, how come all of the properties in new developments are not priced way lower than those already here?
More seasonal, low-wage jobs selling hotdogs? You have got to be kidding.

General Motors' giant recall scandal looks to have a silver lining for GM dealers — millions of dollars in lucrative repair bills that their service departments can charge back to the nation's biggest automaker.
The car company will pay dealers — independent businesses licensed to sell and repair GM vehicles — to fix up to 6 million vehicles recalled so far this year. The total includes 2.2 million of GM's Chevrolet Cobalt and other older vehicles equipped with a faulty ignition switch linked to 13 deaths.
"Recalls are definitely good for business. Smart dealers actively market recalls by calling up customers," said Jeremy Anwyl, an industry consultant and former chief executive of auto-information company Edmunds.com. "They make money doing the work that is required, and then they get a car into the shop that might need something else, if only an oil change. We tend to undermaintain cars."
The switch issue has prompted congressional hearings and probes by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Department of Justice into why GM didn't recall the cars until this year, even though it knew about the problem for a decade.

It also sparked an internal investigation and overhaul of the way GM issues recalls, prompting the callback of millions of other vehicles for unrelated problems.
In addition to GM's recall troubles, Toyota this year paid a $1.2 billion fine to settle a four-year federal criminal investigation into whether it properly told regulators about safety complaints concerning sudden acceleration. The heightened scrutiny on auto safety, analysts say, has sparked more recalls from the whole industry.
Automakers are recalling cars at a record pace — 13 million so far this year. The previous peak came in 2004, with 30.8 million vehicles recalled.
"Other manufacturers don't want to be caught with a bad recall that was left undone," said Efraim Levy, who follows the auto industry for S&P Capital IQ.
NHTSA, which has faced congressional criticism for not forcing GM to fix the ignition switch defect years ago, also is becoming more aggressive, analysts said.
"If you are a regulator and can go to Congress and say, 'We increased the number of recalls,' you look like a success," Anwyl said.
The cost of fixing all those cars adds up quickly, and dealers are the prime beneficiaries. Already, GM has set aside $1.3 billion to order new parts, provide rental cars to owners and pay dealers to make repairs.
GM has told its dealers it would pay for 78 minutes of labor to repair the cars with the faulty ignition switches. The hourly labor rates vary by region, but that could easily amount to $100 per vehicle, according to dealers contacted by the Los Angeles Times. If the millions of other recalled vehicles take about the same amount of time to repair, and all the cars are fixed, dealers could generate about $600 million of revenue from the recalls.
Dealers also reported getting $30 to $40 a day, or about $300 a week, to provide loaner cars to owners who are afraid to drive the vehicles with the faulty switch. GM said it could take until nearly the end of the year to fix all the cars.
Automakers walk a fine line determining what they pay dealers for repairs, said Peter Hoffman, the owner of Sierra Chevrolet in Monrovia, Calif. Automakers also want the business to be profitable "because they want the dealer to want to do the work and get it done," Hoffman said. "Sure, we hope to be able to do other work for the customers who bring in their cars, but that is not the driving consideration," he said. "The context isn't positive."

The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde's a comedy of good manners, bad manners, and all manner of things in between, kicks off Moonbox Production's 2013-14 season, November 22 - December 14 (Press Performance Sunday, November 24 at 2pm) at the Boston Center for the Arts Plaza Theatre, 539 Tremont Street in Boston's South End. Performances are Wednesdays & Thursdays at 7:30pm (no performance Thanksgiving), Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm & 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets are $35 ($30 for students/seniors) plus fees. For tickets call Boston Theatre Scene Box Office at 617-933-8600 or online at www.bostontheatrescene.com. For more company information visit www.moonbox.org.
Gwendolen loves Ernest, and he loves her. Cecily loves Ernest too, though he's only just finding that out. But is it a lover's triangle, or is there room for two happy couples in Oscar Wilde's madcap romance–and what will fearsome Lady Bracknell have to say about it? This quintessential comedy of proper manners, by the quintessential bad boy of his day, includes mislaid babies, mistaken identities, secret engagements, baffled suitors, and some of the wittiest wordplay ever volleyed over cucumber sandwiches.
IRNE and Elliot Norton Award-nominated director Allison Choat will direct what Wilde dubbed his "trivial comedy for serious people." Explaining the company's choice, she says, "At the risk of being trite, I suppose I'd have to say I want to do this show because it's a great piece of comic art – but I'm only going to attempt it because I think we have the people necessary bring it to life in a way it deserves. Reading through Earnest gives you a wonderful sense of its complex language, its keen wit, its clever circumstances and contrivances. But all that language is nothing without an intelligent, and above all, vital, group of interpreters – and I can't believe our good fortune in finding a cast that fits that bill so exactly."

Hi All new to this forum and would like any input on the new Celestron CGEM Mount. Any info on perforamce, tracking, PEC. Will most likly be using it for CCD Imaging looking into getting a WO 110 Refractor and the ST2000XM Camera. ANy Info on this mount would be great.
Posted 03 June 2009 - 01:20 PM
I had one for a few months and loved it for the price. Very solid, very accurate go to's. Was able to get acceptable guided results by my standards. PE was 30 sec peak to peak and did have some rapid changes but keeping the guide exposures short helped a great deal. I think its a fine mount for the money.
Posted 03 June 2009 - 06:46 PM
I think you will find it a nice fit for what you want to load it with. I haven't had a chance to use mine for AP yet, but I'm impressed with its performance so far visually. I had a 10" SCT on it the other night and it was solid.

I really like mine...gotos are very accurate; the polar align routine works well...I have made 5 minute guded subs no problem; very solid yet easily portable in two pieces...good buy.
Posted 04 June 2009 - 08:54 AM
I only use mine for visual (at least so far). I have a 6" refractor on it, pushing 30 lbs with accesories, and damping is around 1 second. When I had the 4" refractor on it damping was sub-second. I'm very happy with the mount.
Posted 04 June 2009 - 10:22 AM
Thanks to all who have posted there opinions on this Mount. I was wondering about the 30 sec peak to peak PE and if anyone out there in astroland has tried to tune the mount and if so any instructions to reduce the PE? Or should I look into saving a little more and get the CGE Pro Mount?
Posted 04 June 2009 - 02:41 PM
Well with looking over the forums looks like I will get better results with a Atlas mount and do the tuneup to it??
Posted 04 June 2009 - 02:57 PM

STANFORD, CA – Sophomore Misty Hyman (Phoenix, AZ/Shadow Mountain HS) won two events to lead second-ranked Stanford (5-2 overall, 2-1 in the Pac-10) to a 180-112 dual meet victory over No. 17 UCLA (6-2-1, 1-2-1) at deGuerre Pool. Stanford has now won 38 straight dual meets at deGuerre Pool dating back to the 1987-88 season, and is 37-0 at home under 11th-year head coach Richard Quick.
Hyman, the 1998 NCAA Swimmer of the Year, won the 200-yard butterfly in 1:56.84, over two seconds better than her previous season-best of 1:58.90. Her time was also well under the NCAA Championship automatic qualifying standard of 2:00.09.

The Future of Paper
- next ›
- 623 of 735
- ‹ previous
So small you'll never see it and will always be able to have it with you.
There's a lot of talk about paper becoming obsolete. Newspapers dying, magazines switching to digital rather than print editions, e-readers replacing books. And the libraries! Whatever will become of them? Large buildings filled with rooms and rooms of low-density information storage shouldn't exist in this day and age if we can compress all of the books into tiny electronic files and store them in a computer closet, right?
Only If You Have No Imagination
Right now we print books on paper with words in ink, but the next steps are already being taken to print computers on paper--with conductible inks, we can print circuit boards onto paperstock and turn an ordinary sentence into a simple computer program.
Just on one page. And when you stack a bunch of paper computers together, and bind them, you have a book computer.
Predicting the failure of libraries has been popular for decades, including Richard Feynman's talk in 1959 about the miniaturization of every book in the world. In his talk--There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom--Feynman proposes using an electron microscope to reduce the letters of the entire Encyclopedia Brittanica 25,000 times, so that all 24 volumes of the encyclopedia would fit onto the head of a pin!
He then says that we can take the 9 million volumes from the Library of Congress, the 5 million volumes of the British Museum Library, and the 5 million volumes in the National Library in France and print them down in the same way, and fit them onto 1 million pinheads. A printed sheet of all the books in the world, then, would be about three square yards, or about 35 regular-sized printed pages.
Imagine! He Tells Us
Imagine the entire library at Caltech, 120,000 volumes stored in a giant building, in low-density format. Feynman says that the entire library can be reduced to the size of one library card. The library would not be written in code, but simply in a smaller reproduction of the original words and pictures, without a loss of resolution.
Sure it would be pretty cool to have a library card that contains your whole library in your pocket, but how would you be able to read it? You'd need an electron microscope to look at something that small. Fortunately for you, ASPEX corporation has a very special offer. They will do free electron microscope scans of any sample you send in, and either send you the results or post the scans online for you to see.
Self Folding Books--Pretty!
What use would an entire building of book computers be to a library patron? Just think of books programmed to fold themselves into patterns when you open the book's covers--an entire building of self-folding origami, hundreds of thousands of plain rectangular blocks suddenly shifting into flocks of cranes and fields of flowers.

"The dream is to record a collection of melodies that will cut through the darkness like lasers to remind our souls of freedom," said Remedy Drive frontman David Zach. "We are releasing these songs of freedom to shine a light on the trafficking of human souls."
They're calling it "Commodity," and just as the album is released this September, northeast Colorado will experience these songs of freedom themselves.
Christian rock band Remedy Drive will be featured in a free concert Wednesday, Sept. 10, at Phillips County Event Center in Holyoke. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the concert beginning at 7 p.m. A freewill offering will be taken at the concert.
Jerry Brandt of Holyoke heard about Remedy Drive's "Commodity" project through his daughter Jes-c French, who saw their Kickstarter efforts online to fund the new album.
Donations from the Brandts' previous concert funds and from the family were contributed to the counter-trafficking project, resulting in the honor of a hometown concert from Remedy Drive.
"It's important for the youth of our community to have something to do—more importantly, something good to do," said Jerry, noting Remedy Drive's "Commodity" has a good message that will bring awareness to northeast Colorado.

Acetyl-L-carnitine or ALCAR, is an acetylated form of L-carnitine. ALCAR has been claimed to be superior to normal L-carnitine in terms of bioavailability. However, at least one study has suggested that the acetylated form may have a lower oral bioavailability.
Chemical Derivation:
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is L-Carnitine, acetylated.
L-carnitine is derived from the lysine and methionine amino acids.
Health Claims:
It is claimed that ALCAR provides several benefits. Advocates of acetyl-L-carnitine market it as a life extension supplement. There may be some benefit in cases of end stage renal disease or peripheral arterial disease. When supplemented alongside Lipoic acid, ALCAR appears to reverse some of the damage to mitochondria associated with aging.
ALCAR supplementation has been shown to be neuroprotective in instances of cerebral ischemia, peripheral nerve injury, and to be beneficial in the treatment of Parkinson's disease in animals.
ALCAR supplementation has also been shown to reverse syptoms associated with mental decline in the elderly.
ALCAR is being researched in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Acetyl l-carnitine is added to dietary supplements to augment the amount of carnitine that the body naturally produces. It is believed that acetyl l carnitine supplements may be necessary. The reason is simply because sometimes the body�s requirements may exceed the amount that the body produces.
In order for the body to produce carnitine, it needs the amino acids lysine or methionine and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). So a shortage of one or both amino acids and/or vitamin C will lead to inadequate production of carnitine. Dietary supplements that contain acetyl l-carnitine are insurance against carnitine deficiency.
In the human body, carnitine transports long chain fatty acids into the cells, so that they can be used for energy. Several steps are required for this process and dysfunction at any or all of the steps leads to genetic disorders including primary carnitine deficiency, in which the body cannot convert fat into energy. Because carnitine is necessary to convert fat to energy, acetyl l carnitine is commonly added to �fat burners� and other weight loss supplements.
Studies have shown that supplements combining acetyl l-carnitine and alpha lipoic acid appear to reverse the damage done to certain cellular structures, known as mitochondria, by the aging process. Mitochondria exist in all of the cells of the body.
They are the cellular structures that have been described as �cellular power plants�. These structures churn out energy for the cell by converting other compounds into ATP, which has multiple functions at the cellular level, including energy transfer.
Mitochondria also store and release calcium. In nerve cells, the release of calcium back into the cell initiates events that cause the release of neurotransmitters, which transmit signals among different nerve cells in the brain and body. In other words, neurotransmitters tell the muscles and organs what to do.
In endocrine cells found in the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands, the release of stored calcium triggers the release of different hormones. Many other processes are controlled by the mitochondria and acetyl l carnitine, along with alpha lipoic acid, protects the mitochondria from damage and may even reverse damage that has already occurred.
Acetyl l-carnitine supplements have been shown to reduce mental decline in elderly patients. It is being researched as a treatment for Alzheimer�s. Studies have shown neuro-protective benefits to stroke victims and those suffering from peripheral nerve damage. Acetyl l carnitine supplements have been used for treating Parkinson�s disease in animals.
In people with type II diabetes, acetyl l-carnitine supplements improved the transfer of glucose from the blood stream to the cells and improved the body�s ability to convert the glucose into energy. In other words, it lowered blood glucose levels in diabetics, but not in control groups. It may be that carnitine deficiency is an underlying problem in diabetes.
Our knowledge of the human body and how it works continues to grow. Many nutrients are being added to the list of vitamins and minerals that are essential to human health.
Many health professionals believe that most chronic health conditions, including obesity, cancer and heart disease, are related to chronically poor nutrition. People may not show outright symptoms of nutrient deficiencies, but complain of problems such as fatigue, trouble controlling their weight, headaches, digestive problems, forgetfulness, nervousness, depression, etc.
The USDA creates recommended daily allowances based on the average intake of a vitamin, mineral or other nutrient. These recommendations are believed to be sufficient to prevent outright deficiency diseases, but may be far less than what an individual needs for overall good health, to prevent chronic illnesses and to live a longer life.
Acetyl l-carnitine is one nutrient that has no established daily value, but is believed by many to extend both the quality and the length of one�s life.
Some supplements contain carnitine or l-carnitine. Acetyl l carnitine is the form of carnitine that is believed to be more readily processed by the human body. In supplements with an enteric coating or time released action, this form is released in the upper intestine where it would naturally be released from food sources.
Studies have shown that carnitine found in food is more readily available for use by the human body than are carnitine supplements. However, the foods that contain high amounts of carnitine are mostly red meats. We are constantly reminded of the danger of including too much red meat in the diet. This is one reason that acetyl l-carnitine supplements are so important..

While many in Seattle worry about costs and risks of the world's widest bored tunnel beneath downtown, industry legend Martin Herrenknecht can hardly contain his desire to drill.
While many in Seattle worry about costs and risks of attempting the world's widest bored tunnel beneath downtown, industry legend Martin Herrenknecht can hardly contain his desire to drill.
"If the ground conditions accept it, Seattle will be No. 1 in tunneling. I think we have to fight quite strongly [for the project]; I hope we will get a chance," he said at an after-hours reception for members of the Underground Construction Association, meeting in Portland this week.
The most crucial technical challenge will be advancing through 1.7 miles of varying soils, groundwater and small boulders in a 13-month mission, without causing the earth above to sink. At 56 feet across, the machine needed to dig the planned Highway 99 tunnel would exceed the 50-½-foot crossing beneath the Yangtze River in Shanghai and a 50-foot tunnel in Madrid, Spain, drilled with Herrenknecht machines.

Modern tunnel-boring machines, like those built by Herrenknecht, are long cylinders led by a slowly rotating face, where cutting heads are embedded to grind the soil. The spoils typically are removed by conveyor belt out the back end, and eventually trucked off site.
A tunneling machine for Highway 99 is thought to cost $60 million to $80 million, out of a $1.1 billion tunnel contract, according to the state Department of Transportation (DOT). With contingencies and design costs, the tunnel is $1.96 billion, of a total $3.1 billion highway-corridor price that includes surface and elevated roads and ramps.
The DOT has a target date of November 2016 at the latest for the tunnel to be ready to replace the aging Alaskan Way Viaduct. Bid proposals are due in late October.
Herrenknecht's staffers say they've contacted all three contractors bidding on the Highway 99 project. "We have quite a bit of interest to build over there, in difficult ground conditions," their boss said.
Herrenknecht's enthusiasm "is good news," said Linea Laird, the DOT's tunnel-segment manager.
But that doesn't guarantee he'll win the contract to supply a Seattle contracting team with the world's largest-diameter boring machine. Mitsubishi also is capable of building such a wide machine, while Robbins Co., a competing firm based partly in Kent, could perhaps partner with another boring-machine firm, Laird said. Mitsubishi supplied a 50-foot machine in Madrid, and Robbins a 47-½-foot drill at Niagara Falls, Canada.
Herrenknecht founded his German firm in 1978 with two employees. Now age 65, his company has more than 2,000 employees, including a regional headquarters in Sumner.
More than Asia and Europe, North America is now in the "champions league" of taking on tunnel-engineering challenges, he said. These include a port tunnel in Miami, a drinking-water tunnel beneath 900 feet of unstable rock outside Los Angeles, and a drinking-water tunnel from a lake near Las Vegas, under 13 times atmospheric pressure. And, of course, Seattle.
The challenges of tunneling here are spelled out in an updated geotechnical report the DOT released last week. Clays within much of the route are sticky enough to potentially clog a machine, and there are patches of gravels and quartz sand that are abrasive.
Abrasive soils have caused trouble for King County's Brightwater sewer project, where a Herrenknecht machine happens to be stuck. That machine was shut down a year ago. The contractor has been replaced in the meantime.
Asked what lessons this offers for Highway 99, Herrenknecht gave no specifics but said his firm has been investigating the Seattle soils. They're manageable "if you have the correct machine and the correct system," he said Monday. "I see it positively."
In a presentation, he described new cutter heads that can work as pincers to crush boulders, expected to be less than 8 feet wide in Seattle. Aaron Shanahan, an engineer from Robbins Co., said his firm is developing sensors that can detect temperatures and strains on the cutter heads, to help miners read the soils just ahead.
Sound Transit's narrower Beacon Hill Tunnel, drilled by a Japanese-led consortium, left voids in the soil, one of which nearly ruined a house because of errors in supervising the rate of soil removal. The state DOT cites that incident in its specifications, and it demands a precise monitoring plan from bidders.
On the favorable side, most of the Highway 99 tunnel route has been compressed by ancient glaciers, making the soil relatively stable, Steven Kramer, a University of Washington civil-engineering professor and seismic expert, said in an interview. Highly unstable fill soils predominate around the south portal, at Pioneer Square, where some nearby building foundations (or soil beneath) will require support.
DOT engineer David Sowers, who reviewed the soils report, said Seattle soils work well with the latest boring machines.
The state has drilled 110 vertical shafts to test soil samples along the route, and can draw on past experience dating to the downtown Great Northern railroad tunnel a century ago.
On average, tunnels and bridges overrun their estimates 34 percent, according to a 2002 study by Danish scholar Bent Flyvbjerg that blamed over-optimism and even lying for the worldwide trend.
Trying to prevent this, the state DOT has retained nationally respected specialists in soils, risks and contracts. Laird managed the 2007 Tacoma Narrows Bridge within budget and only three months late.

Anybody help me out with an age guesstimate on my new project? Picked it up for the wife for her birthday. Already got the rims sandblasted and halfway thru painting (wheels will be antique white, frame and fenders are going to be a sea green/blue) I rescued it from a farmers field, and after a touch of penetrating oil everything moves, (and since it's a hardware/department store bike, I figured that the purists wouldn't cry much about a touch of artistic liberty) so I figure it's a good (amateur) restoration candidate, but I was just curious on it's age.
Here's a pic of the frame in it's current state:

To the editor:
With the local election past, the politicians are gearing up now for the major election next year. Although the politicians made a do-not-call list, they exempted themselves. We vote Democrat and Republican in elections and they bombard us with trying to get their vote. There is no way they can persuade me with a one- or two-minute call. I get my information from books or newspaper or debates, although there should be more "truth in journalism" dealing with elections. They seem to start with a little bit of truth then surround it with a "big lie."
However the postal service is thinking about raising rates again due to less revenue. How about if they pass a law that there will be no more telemarketing with political calls and they are forced to use the postal service to get their message to the voters? That would extremely raise revenue for the postal service.
I tried to call my congressman about the issue, but they referred me to the secretary of state, and they said there is nothing they can do about it the way the law is. They did tell me they got rid of their landline phone because of it. It will only be a matter of time before they will be doing the same thing with cell phones, and if federal politicians can do it then the state will, and they do now, and then the local politicians can do it. I even joined in on a town hall meeting on the phone to ask my question about the political calls, but they screen the questions and it doesn't get to the congressman. The calls will be increasing during the next year and although it's not to their best interest to create a "no political" call list, they should be forced to use the postal service to get their messages through.

Everyone loves to hate on the day of love. Why is that exactly? Maybe it's the fact that we feel obligated to buy candy and soft gifts, or the crowds at every restaurant.
I think dating singles have the best time on this Hallmark holiday. They get the surprise gifts, the fancy dates. Newlyweds get much of the same, but new parents? We're lucky to remember what month it is, much less the day of love.
Even still, it's one of my favorite holidays, and I love to love it. I may not be getting a shiny gift or fancy flowers, but there are 10 things I continue to love about this holiday.
Do you love Valentines Day?

|CodeRED alert issued for missing teen last week
By Jan Rahn
Managing Editor
For the first time other than a county-wide test or automated severe weather notification, the Perkins County Sheriff's Office activated the CodeRED Emergency Alert System last Thursday night.
The sheriff's office launched the call to send a voice message to 1,695 phone numbers in the county at 10:27 p.m. Nov. 4 following a 6 p.m. report of a 14-year-old rural Brandon girl who had run away from home and could possibly be in danger.
"The runaway juvenile's exact whereabouts were still unknown at 10:30 p.m. after the Perkins County Sheriff's Office and Grant Volunteer Fire Department conducted a preliminary ground search and used the fire department's thermal imaging devices," said Sheriff Jim Brueggeman.
"However, we had reason to believe she was still somewhere in Perkins County and on foot. With the juvenile having acquaintances throughout the county, temperatures hovering at the freezing mark and the uncertainty of the emotional state of the juvenile, there was no question a county-wide CodeRED call requesting information and assistance from the public was warranted."
Brueggeman said immediately after the CodeRED call was launched, the sheriff's office started getting tips and information from the public.
"The system worked exactly as it was designed to work and quickly notified the public of the search for the runaway juvenile," said Brueggeman.
The search continued through the night.
The runaway juvenile was located in Grant the next morning, Friday, Nov. 5, and was found to be safe and unharmed.
She was turned over to the custody of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
After locating the teen runaway, another CodeRED alert was issued at 11:01 to notify the public that she had been found.
Sheriff Brueggeman said special appreciation is extended to rural Grant residents Edwin Kuskie and Shirley Kuskie who remained in contact with the sheriff's office following the CodeRED Emergency Alert System notification and voluntarily left the warmth and comfort of their home to assist in the overnight search.
"The compassion, cooperation and willingness to assist the Perkins County Sheriff's Office demonstrated by the Kuskies is respectable and praiseworthy," said Brueggeman.
Some Residents Complain The sheriff's office received some complaints from the public about the late hour of the CodeRED Emergency Alert System notification, said Brueggeman.
"I fully understand the call did not come at the most convenient time of the day for some, however, the call was warranted, prudent and we would have been remiss in our duties if we had not issued the call," he said. "We are fortunate to have CodeRED in Perkins County and everyone should remember the system was put in place in the best interest of increased public warning and safety."
Also received were questions from the public about why an Amber Alert was not issued.
A runaway juvenile does not meet Amber Alert issuance criteria and law enforcement agencies must use local resources and media, explained Brueggeman.
Amber Alerts are used only in cases where there is a child abduction in which the victim is 17 years of age or younger, there is a belief the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death and there is sufficient information available concerning the suspected abductor to which the public can respond, he said.
CodeRED Background
The Perkins County Sheriff's Office placed the CodeRED Emergency Alert System into operation in January 2009.
The annual CodeRED system subscription was initially paid for with local tax dollars, but for the next two fiscal years the entire southwest region of Nebraska is being paid for with money received from the Federal Government 2009 State Homeland Security Grant Program.
The CodeRED Emergency Alert System is used to notify the public of natural disasters, man-made disasters, health department notifications, search and rescue operations, public works announcements, crime information and for internal use.
The system also has an automated severe weather notification feature the public can subscribe to by accessing the Internet and going to http://www.perkinscoso.com and clicking on the CodeREDWeather Warning graphic.
