I'm taking a shot in the dark here seeing if anyone here might have some experience with this issue or even a wild guess.
I'm trying to troubleshoot an electrical problem with an 2001 Freightliner. It's developed a problem where a bump will cause the wipers to shut off and park (you can restart them normally), the radio to glitch, and sometimes the ABS light to come on.
If it's a sunny day and you aren't using the wipers a bump can still cause the radio to glitch (cut out for a microsecond) and possibly see the ABS light flash on for a second or two.
The radio and the wipers ALWAY happen together. Sometimes the ABS light doesn't come on BUT -IF- it does then it's guaranteed the wipers and radio will do as described then.
It's got to the point where it happens a lot. It doesn't take much of a bump. Even accelerating from a stop can sometimes do it now.
This started all of this late last winter and progressively got worse but after trying to find the source and tightening connections, shaking wires, etc it 'magically' fixed itself in early spring and was fine all summer. It all returned this fall when the temps dropped. I don't know if that's coincidence or a clue.
Since I'm a good 1.5 hrs from the dealer, AND I can't help but think the problem is probably an easy fix IF I could find the problem area, I'd like to avoid the dealer $$$ if possible. I've got a couple of things I want to check that I've researched via schematics but if anyone here has any experience with these vehicles and knows where a common denominator might be to narrow in on the problem, or even better... knows what the problem is.... Please let me know before I go crazy searching for the issue with no luck at all so far.

BOSTON When the season began, Chris Wilcox was an everyday rotation player who entered games as a first-quarter sub for Kevin Garnett.
Injuries, inconsistent play and the emergence of Jared Sullinger (and to a lesser extent, Jason Collins) relocated Wilcox to near end-of-the-bench status even after he was cleared to play following his most recent ailment.
Sullinger's season-ending back surgery has paved the way for Wilcox to garner more minutes, and the veteran is making the most of the opportunity.
Although the final score in Boston's 116-95 win over the Los Angeles Lakers was decisively lopsided, Wilcox's play off the bench was among the subtle but important contributions in the Celtics victory.
He will look to do more of the same going forward as a viable option for Doc Rivers to turn to when Garnett needs a rest.
"It's just a matter of coming in there and doing our jobs," Wilcox told CSNNE.com. "We know when KG comes out, we have to hold it down and give this team a lift."
Wilcox did just that on Thursday, tallying eight points and a season-high nine rebounds off the C's bench in just 18 minutes of action.
More than his points, Wilcox provided a presence around the basket and on the break that opened things up for either him or his teammates.
And maybe even more significant, he helped the C's keep control of the game when Garnett left with early foul trouble and Boston was clinging to a two-point lead.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers initially turned to Jason Collins, but he picked up three fouls in five minutes.
In came Wilcox with the scored tied. By the time the first quarter ended, Wilcox had helped the C's pull ahead by four points.
Even with his improved play, Wilcox still sees himself as a work in progress with plenty of room to get better.
"I'm getting there," he said. "I have to get my timing down. I missed a couple of easy lobs. But like I said, that just comes with timing. Other than that, I've just been out there playing hard."
But when he wasn't playing, Wilcox was watching his teammates, figuring out what he could do to help once he was healthy enough to resume playing.
"So I know now when I come into the game, what I need to bring," Wilcox said.
Boston is playing a more uptempo game now which C's coach Doc Rivers believes is also beneficial to Wilcox's game.
But the reason he is starting to see an uptick in his minutes, is because his defense is improving.
"I thought defensively he's getting his hands on balls, he's deflecting balls, he was doing the Tyson Chandler, keeping balls alive ... he was doing a great job (against the Lakers)."
And now comes the challenge which has been there for Wilcox all season - being consistent.
"I know what I gotta do," Wilcox said. "Doc's just preaching defense, defense defense so I get out there and start playing defense and it just turns over to offense. It's fun like that.
Wilcox added, "The main thing is winning man. That's why I came here. Anything I can do to help us do that, I'm all for. Because that's all we're about in this locker room, doing whatever you gotta do to help this team win games."

Face to Face: Utter Fantasy?
Viewing video requires the latest version of Adobe's Flash Player
Thursday, June 19, 2008 | 5:30 p.m.
Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley (Clark County-D) says projections of an additional $260 million budget deficit are "utter fantasy." Is Gov. Jim Gibbons, as some lawmakers contend, hyping the state's problems to divert attention from his personal issues? Jon asks Barbara Buckley about that and more.

Staff Writer
The Ham Lake City Council Feb. 21 unanimously approved bids for a couple different road projects that will take place this year.
Overlaying 9,711 feet — about 1.8-miles — of city streets and overlaying a 55,450 square-foot parking lot for the public works building is expected to cost $291,444.20. Knife River Corporation out of Sauk Rapids had the lowest bid out of the 11 submitted for this project.
Reconstructing 1,886 feet of streets within the Hasting Hills neighborhood and overlaying 720 feet of streets within Livgard Acres will cost $144,980.57. North Valley, Inc. of Nowthen had the lowest of 10 bids submitted. These two neighborhoods are close to each other, so the projects were placed together to get the lowest bid possible, according to City Engineer Tom Collins.
Overlay project
The roads being overlayed in 2012 include 149th Avenue from Naples Street to Lexington Avenue. This project will be funded by the city's Municipal State Aid (MSA) account, which is dollars that the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) sends to cities each year from gas tax revenues.
The city's own pavement management fund is paying for the overlay of streets in the Homestead Estates development, which is located between Hastings Street and Radisson Road and south of 153rd Avenue. The city will also be overlaying the parking lot of the public works building parking lot.
All 11 bids came in under Collins' original construction estimate of $377,781.25. The highest bid was $344,850.40.
One area where unit pricing came in much lower was for the edge mill bituminous surface portion. Collins had estimated the cost would be $7.50 per square-foot for 8,922 square feet. North Valley's unit price bid was $1.60.
Collins said the 2012 overlay project is only costing 0.5 percent more than the 2011 overlay project even though the mileage is similar.
For budgeting purposes, the city adds in 7 percent inflation each year for road project costs in order to be prepared in case bids come in higher than expected, he said.
The city will take these bids into consideration and adjust the projections for other 2012 road project estimates, Collins said.
Hastings Hill-Livgard Acres
As was the case for the 2012 overlay bids, all 10 companies bidding on the Hastings Hill reconstruction and Livgard Acres overlay project were well under Collins' estimate, which was $191,776.
The Hastings Hill streets are 23.73 feet wide and will be widened to 24 feet, according to Collins. These streets were constructed in 1989. The existing bituminous will be reclaimed and used in the new road to save costs. The Livgard Acres streets were constructed in 1994.
Collins said the city was low in some areas and high in some areas for its estimate compared with what North Valley bid. Collins had budgeted $40,000 in mobilization costs, which was double the highest bid for this service. North Valley said its mobilization will only cost to city $4,338. Collins thought bituminous pavement reclamation would cost just under $20,000, but North Valley bid just over $8,000.
On the other hand, North Valley bid about $3,800 for turf establishment. The city thought this would cost under $1,000. North Valley bid over $5,200 for common excavation costs. The city thought this would cost just under $3,600.
Loan at end of 2011
Ham Lake splits its road projects into two different accounts. The MSA account is for projects on more highly traveled roads or roads where the city expects heavier truck traffic. Dollars for these projects come from the gas tax. The other account is the revolving street fund, which is covered by the general fund levy.
According to Finance Director Sharon Kutzke, the city spent time and resources in 2011 on projects that have yet to be built such as the service road on the northwest corner of Highway 65 and Crosstown Boulevard and the service road on the east side of Highway 65 between 153rd and 159th avenues. Once these roads are built, MnDOT will reimburse the city for these expenses.
For the time being, the city has completed an interfund loan by transferring $618,359 from the revolving street fund to the MSA fund. This was necessary to bring that MSA account fund balance to zero by the end of 2011. Kutzke said this is the first time in recent years the city had to loan money to the MSA account from the revolving street fund.
Councilmember Gary Kirkeide sees this transfer as a temporary issue. He is also a fan of the city's policy to not assess property owners for road projects.
According to City Administrator Doris Nivala, the city in 1996 transferred $10,000 from the general fund to the revolving street fund. The council in 1997 under the leadership of then mayor Kirkeide increased the transfer to $150,000. The April 1997 resolution noted that the city had conducted an in-depth analysis of road conditions over the past two years and that some roads were approaching ages of 20 to 30 years old.
The council eliminated road assessments seven years later, Kirkeide said, because the council felt it made more sense for all residents to pay a little more each year rather than be hit with an assessment of a few thousand dollars every 20 years or so. Commercial and industrial property owners also had faced assessments.
"When paying property taxes you expect everything to be paid with these property taxes and you shouldn't be surprised with a street assessment," Kirkeide said.
At the same time assessments went away, the council decided to transfer $765,000 from the general fund to the revolving street fund. The transfer was $850,000 in 2009, but otherwise has hovered around $750,000 since 2005.
The revolving street fund account is anticipated to have a fund balance of just over $1.5 million at the end of 2012 while the MSA account may have a fund balance of less than $300,000, according to Kutzke.

I come to you with this urgent message: Super Mario 3D Land feels like a Mario game. I know, that's crazy talk. But at New York Comic-Con, I got my first taste of Mario's latest adventure in three-dimensional space and walked away satisfied knowing that Nintendo is mining the franchise's glorious past for this new iteration.
The demo available at NYCC let me play four different levels from the upcoming title. Without hesitating for a second, the first level I jumped into featured the classic Tanooki Suit from Super Mario Bros. 3. People have been making a big deal about the suit's return with Super Mario 3D Land, and it definitely doesn't disappoint. For the first time in a three-dimensional Mario game, Mario is able to raccoon-up in order to hover to platforms and slap Goombas with his massive, puffy tail. And it also goes without say, the fat little plumber looks adorable wearing the suit. The addition of the Tanooki Suit is definitely a fantastic call-back to classic Mario tropes.
Speaking of classic Mario features, Super Mario 3D Land seems to pull in a lot of inspiration from the past, gives it a spit-shine and inserts it nicely into this new, contemporary title. For example, flag poles have returned to close out every stage of Super Mario 3D Land. It's once again a big deal to get to the high ground and make that leap of faith for as many points as possible. It's a nice throwback to the classic mechanics of the Mario series.
Air-ship levels also return for Super Mario 3D Land. The demo I played featured one of these, complete with a Koopa mini-boss to cap it off. In typical Airship level fashion, this was probably the most challenging level I played during my short time with the title. Angry bullets were coming out of nowhere as I constantly jumped from ship to ship avoiding the left side of the screen from catching up to me, which, as hardcore Mario fans probably know, is instant death.
When it comes right down to it, Super Mario 3D Land feels like the best parts of Super Mario Galaxy mixed with Super Mario Bros. 3. For Mario fanatics, that's enough to sell them on the game. But having now played the game, I'm happy to report that Super Mario 3D Land is more than just a throwback to capitalize on the wallets of nostalgic fans. The game's also a solid three-dimensional platformer starring our favorite Italian Plumber. But then again, Nintendo's track record with Mario as of late as been pretty spotless. Super Mario 3D Land appears to be keeping the franchise quite clean. Look forward to it in December.

With a laundry list of parties and shindigs available to SXSW attendees, it's hard to pinpoint that exact event where one's attendance doesn't just seem worthwhile but almost necessary. There's a plethora of great music to choose, ranging from Hip-Hop to indie rock to the blues.
So where's that perfect bridge that features some of the best of, well, everything? Swing through the Mohawk (located at 912 Red River Street) on St. Patty's Day from noon until 6 p.m. to catch MOG Music Network's party presented by Intel. They'll have live performances from The Roots, Bob Mould, G-Side, Blitzen Trapper and Gary Clark Jr., just to name a few. And don't worry about the cost: admission's free for everyone, so save those dollar bills for post-show car bombs–it is St. Patrick's Day, after all.

2009-07-23 49 8
From Geo Hashing
Thu 23 Jul 2009 in 49,8:
In Altenbach, under a birch tree just outside a house (aerial image: upper right corner).
Expedition total: 2 hours, cycled 33 km
My biggest fear today was getting into a thunderstorm, and I did - but only on the last km before I reached home. It stayed dry, even with occasional sunshine on my way to the hashpoint, and on the way back the rain was light and sporadic.
The satellite imagery is outdated as usual and they have since built a house not on but next to the coordinates. That actually helped, because now there were stairs leading down to the front door and the hashpoint.

Published: October 8, 2006
James Gager and Richard Ferretti are serial decorators. They have meticulously renovated a succession of New York City apartments, as well as a farmhouse in Pennsylvania. Their efforts have ranged from a classic Greenwich Village duplex with carved wood ceilings and a Juliet alcony overlooking the double-height living room to an intimidatingly contemporary white box with intimidatingly contemporary white furniture to match. Their latest project is the second floor of a grandly proportioned 1804 brownstone in the West Village, where Emily Post is reported to have spent much of her childhood. The apartment is an inviting combination of old and new, classic and contemporary. Walking through the gallery of rooms, you might even be tempted to hire them on the spot to give your own apartment a makeover -- except that neither Gager nor Ferretti is a professional architect or interior designer.
Gager is the creative director of the cosmetics company M.A.C.; Ferretti, the creative director of Gourmet magazine. For most couples, four renovations in 15 years would add up to instant divorce. But according to Gager, it's the aesthetic tie that binds. ''We have to admit we like the creative process together,'' Gager says. ''We are great clients for each other.''
The new apartment, which they share with their two standard poodles, Violet and Alice, has been a true labor of love. When they lucked upon it, the building was in the process of being converted to condominiums, and a lot of damage had already been done. ''The apartment was a wreck,'' Gager explains. Though they could have gutted the place, they decided instead to preserve and restore the apartment's original character. Or, as Ferretti puts it, ''We wanted it to look like an old apartment that was in perfect condition.''
The couple had intended to work again with the designer behind the white box. But it was quickly apparent that the moldings and elaborately carved stone mantelpieces were really not his thing. So Gager and Ferretti ended up doing a lot of the research and sourcing themselves. They used the scant existing moldings to commission new ones for the living room and found stone fireplace mantels at Demolition Depot in Harlem to replace those that had been removed. Ferretti recalls going through countless floor samples until finally settling upon the unvarnished white oak planks that run throughout the apartment, and tells of multiple forays into the garment district, water bottle in hand, searching for just the right water-resistant fabric to make an extra-long shower curtain for one of the two bathrooms (they raised the ceilings to 11 feet).
The only piece of furniture that they kept from their previous apartment was a rare bookcase by Charlotte Perriand, one of only three known to exist. While they are not sticklers for pedigree, the two share an exacting aesthetic that is expressed in a wide range of styles and periods. Whether it's a French farm table painted black, a clear acrylic desk from the 1970's, a Louis chair upholstered in white leather or a charred table by Maarten Baas, the mix ''doesn't feel eclectic,'' Ferretti says. ''Old or new, there is always an evenness.''
The same could be said of the elegant if monochromatic color palette -- subtle variations on gray, brown and black punctuated with hits of color, like the massive drip painting in the living room by Frederick Wardy (a piece they found at a thrift shop and later discovered had been in the 1972 Whitney Biennial), or the Vasa acrylic art objects and Georges Jouve ceramics that they avidly collect. Contrary to impeccable appearances, the apartment has a lot of stuff, but most of it is hidden away in capacious storage cabinets. A floor-to-ceiling cupboard in the dining room, for example, conceals enough dishes and Venetian glassware to serve a 10-course meal to a chic army, as well as evidence of their latest obsession, black Wedgwood. The dishes are not just for show. Ferretti cooks almost every night, something you would never suspect from the impossibly spotless kitchen. There, too, everything, including the appliances, is hidden from view.
Tucked behind the kitchen is a cozy library, which was recently painted a rich gunmetal gray in enthusiastic response to the dark rooms that they encountered on a trip to Paris. Surprisingly, the bookshelves are open -- their design plays off the apartment's moldings. But the books are arranged according to color. Reds in one cluster, blues neatly lined up in another. ''If we had our druthers, they would probably be covered in black with handwritten titles,'' Gager says, noting that it would create a nice texture story. Ferretti can only smile and shrug.
''It's what we do for a living,'' he says. ''It's all about what it looks like.''

TOWIE's Lauren Pope longing for hot date with One Direction's Liam Payne
TOWIE's Lauren Pope has revealed she fancies One Direction's
Liam Payne, suggesting a double date with
Harry Styles and
Caroline Flack could be on the cards.
At 29, Lauren is more than a decade older than Payne, who at 18 is at least old enough to drink, but she revealed there is a cougar inside her looking to get her hands on the teen heartthrob.
'There is a really good looking one in One Direction â Liam! I would love to go out on a date with him,' she told the Daily Star.
'Maybe me and Caroline could have a little double date together. Her with Harry, me with Liam. There could be a One Direction cameo in TOWIE,' she added.
However, her dreams of a One Direction double date could be dashed, as despite appearances, Harry has insisted he is single.
Just days after a tearful Caroline was spotted dropping her toy boy off for his UK tour, he told Real Radio's Evening Show: 'Iâm Harry, helloâ¦â¦ Hiâ¦â¦. Hi… …Iâm single.'
Lauren has at least given her backing to a relationship between the pair, saying: 'I say "go Caroline" because Harry is fit.
'If I was a bloke I'd fancy her because she's just herself and comfortable with that and I love her hair.'

[T]he newspaper that drops on your doorstep is a partial, hasty, incomplete, inevitably somewhat flawed and inaccurate rendering of some of the things we have heard about in the past twenty-four hours -- distorted, despite our best efforts to eliminate gross bias, by the very process of compression that makes it possible for you to lift it from the doorstep and read it in about an hour. If we labeled the product accurately, then we could immediately add: But it's the best we could do under the circumstances, and we will be back tomorrow with a corrected and updated version. [David Broder, Pulitzer Prize acceptance speech, 1973]
The new name was found to be necessary because some anti-tobacco groups warned against enriched bread because it would foster the cigarette habit. ["Cooperative Consumer," Feb. 28, 1942]
In many examples from the 16th and 17th centuries it is difficult to say in what particular sense the writer intended it to be taken. [OED]By 1926, it was pronounced "too great a favorite with the ladies, who have charmed out of it all its individuality and converted it into a mere diffuser of vague and mild agreeableness."

"I am sure," cried Catherine, "I did not mean to say anything wrong; but it is a nice book, and why should I not call it so?"
"Very true," said Henry, "and this is a very nice day, and we are taking a very nice walk; and you are two very nice young ladies. Oh! It is a very nice word indeed! It does for everything." [Jane Austen, "Northanger Abbey," 1803]

Is your husband being treated for sleep apnea? Does he have a CPAP or BiPAP machine and use it? If he does and he is consistant with using it, I don't understand why he can't get hired. That does not even make sense. Why would they not hire someone with something as treatable as sleep apnea? There are people out there driving with all kinds of chronic conditions. Why do they say they won't hire him? How did he get his training/CDL? I mean, for heavens sake, there are plenty of people in jobs that demand a lot that have sleep apnea. I just don't get it.
Also, sounds to me like the costs you quoted are billed charges. Those are hugely different than the contracted rates. Billed charges are pretty bogus, unless you are paying out of pocket and not using health insurance. Contracted rates could be 10 - 25% of those numbers.

The army and the va paid those bills,being as we're both veterans all of our healthcare needs are covered(so far,lol).His sleep apnea is/was just bad enough that the army couldn't use him as a combat soldier anymore so he took the offered retirement over leaving the job he loved to do to do something else.
He has and uses his CPAP machine,plus,he has a therapy dog that will wake him up when ever he has a bad night,she doesn't bring him to a total wake up,just enough that he will breath and roll over.He got his CDL through the army and had it transfered to a civilian licence.Each company that turned him down he had them show him their company policy on sleep apnea,after the 8th turn down he gave up.
Plus,he takes welbutran as part of the stop smoking treatment offered through the va,since welbutran is a mind altering drug he was turned down and hung up on with one company before he could tell her about the sleep apnea.
His mother,father,myself and several other family members all tried to help get him into a truck ( he grew up in a trucking family ),but the sleep apnea stopped him every time.
But don't feel sorry for him,he took his doctor release back and had him reword it from being able to operate a tractor trailer to being fully fit to work in a possible hostile environment.He left 2 weeks ago to go work over seas as a logistics manager(no combat like stuff,pure office work, thank god).And the pay ? .
Do I like it?No,but I support him.Do I worry? You better believe I do.
Unbelievable! (By the way, Wellbutrin is not a mind-altering drug, but an antidepressant, unless you count the way it works on the chemicals in the brain as mind altering. If is is used for smoking cessation then he should have been able to get a letter stating that is being taken for that purpose, the length of time to be on it and how he is doing on the stopping part. And I give him really high marks for quitting.) I have to have a letter regarding a medication I am on, and the form that goes to the prescribing doctor spells out what the letter has to say. And FYI, one of the side effects of Wellbutrin is - sleeplessness! Since I deal with pharmacy issues every day, I can tell you there are thousands of people from all walks of life - a lot of them are nurses and doctors - who are on antidepressants and function just fine.
I guess this really bugs me because it seems so totally ignorant on the part of the people doing the hiring. Is there really some federal regulation out there that prohibits hiring drivers with sleep apnea?
I'm glad your DH has a good job, but that is just messed up!

Hey people, I just completed my orientation with Averitt, and YES, the DOT doc did examine every driver, for signs of Sleep Apnea, height and weight had to be within your BMI guidelines etc. We had two or three drivers that were told their neck size indicated a possibility of sleep apnea and they were scheduled for tests, but nothing to completely disqualify anyone. I guess in answer to the original question, yes at least Averitt is checking these things.
This is the best example of a federal agencey that has gotten out of control and the rules are getting out of hand. The worst thing is the goverement idiots who created them. These idoits can't find jobs in the private sector so our goverements hires them.
Unlike Hitler wanting his nations medical research to find ways to start a superior race of humans the DOT is on the same track.
I had an opperation in 2001 and every year I have to get an note from my doctor saying I can drive.
Been driving for twenty six years with a perfect record but every year I am question about the opperation from a different doctor and the worse thing is that every physical the doctors have that right no matter what records they have, all the medical records you have provided nor a hand written letter from God, they still can ask for a letter from your doctor. This has been going on for seven years and every year I go through the same thing. Why the hell don't the rules apply to evey driver on the road?
I hardly think an antidepressant causes "distorted perceptions". And what is wrong with correcting an imbalance of chemicals in the brain to improve one's mood? I suppose by that logic it would be wrong to "shoot up" insulin, or even take birth controll pills to correct an imbalance of hormones there, also. It sounds as though you perceive antidepressants to be "happy pills" which they most definately are not. If an taking an antidepressant so there is a correction in seratonin levels and thereby increasing the ability to concentrate and focus, and therefore, productivity, helping to correct sleep cycles, and decreasing things such as irritablility or tiredness, and increasing the feeling of wellbeing is mood altering, then I suppose that would be true. I don't think there are many people (at least in my experience) that are "tripping" on antidepressants, nor do they want to be on them. But they do help hundreds of thousands of people, so nothing wrong with that. (And don't even get started on "how many doctors just hand people pills without looking at the source of the problem" because we know that happens, but not in every case.)
According to the A.M.A., abount 83% of Americans suffer some form of sleep apena and of course this includes the drivibg public.
The Department of Transportation is dangeriously close to the American Disibilties Act and other civil lawsuites.
It's always their research and findings that is put into action without ever being question until Congress acts.
What does the DOT want, a race of super truckers?

Speaking of Welbutrin(generic: Bupropion), this drug is also being used for Adult ADHD, SAD&MDD(Seasonal Affective Disorder and Major Depression Disorder.) As for ADHD, I was diagnosed with this as a child. I was given ritalin which I only took for 2 weeks because my mom said it made me mean. I have had a couple of accidents since I started driving back in 2001, both due to inattention(though I didn't tell anyone that at the time). I wasn't terminated for the last one and haven't had any problems since. I am just a little concerned about going in to a doctor and telling them this and asking for a prescription for an anti depressant. I'd love to be "normal", but I have almost forgot what normal is now. Living with ADHD as an adult actually leads to depression due to the inability to keep a job, financial problems as well as the inability to maintain any serious relationship. I have seen a document on the FMCSA's website regarding psychological issues, incuding ADHD and I also understand the safety issues involved. Any suggestions from the audience here?

N4, If you're concerned about the issues with drug tests and the employer finding out about your condition; I had a friend in the same boat who was a heavy equipment operator, but would loose his job if the company found out or he had to take a drug test, so he quit taking his meds. He told me he found a good health food store and doctor that specialized in herbal, vitamin supplements and natural healing. He was told what supplements to get at the health food store and everything has been great since. He was taking some vitamins and some types of herbal supplements and never had another problem. I can't get in touch with him now, but I would at least look into it. Can't hurt!!!!

Redknapp: Modric bid 'pretty poor'
Harry Redknapp has ridiculed Chelsea's latest offer for Luka Modric and insists that even a bid of over £30million will not be enough to tempt the club to sell their star playmaker.
The Tottenham boss also claims chairman Daniel Levy is so intent on keeping Modric that a transfer request would not change his stance. After seeing a £22million bid knocked back for Modric last month, Chelsea reportedly returned with an improved £27million offer on Monday.
"I still think £27million is a pretty poor offer in my opinion for a player of that ability," Redknapp told Sky Sports News. "It wouldn't be anywhere near what I value him at if he was for sale, but he is not for sale."
Modric has repeatedly stated he wants to leave White Hart Lane to complete a "dream" move to Chelsea.
The 25-year-old Croatian raised the stakes in his stand-off with Spurs on Saturday when he launched a stinging attack on Levy, accusing the chairman of "twisting the facts" about a meeting between the two concerning his future last week.
Modric claims Levy reneged on a deal to allow him to leave this summer for a bigger club, but Spurs insist no such agreement exists and they are adamant the former Dinamo Zagreb man will not be sold at any price.
Redknapp has been scathing of Chelsea's approach for Modric, describing their opening offer for his midfield maestro as "farcical" and "a joke". He was just as unimpressed with the latest attempt to prise Modric away from Spurs.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is clearly a keen admirer of Modric having authorised the original offer for the player when his team were managerless. The Russian, who has now installed Andre Villas-Boas as manager, could back another Chelsea offer, but Redknapp insists such a move would be pointless.
"There is nowhere to go with it really. That's the end of it. The chairman has made his stance. He is not for sale and that's it," the 64-year-old added.
When asked whether a bid of £30million may change the club's stance, Redknapp said: "I don't think so. I honestly value him way in excess of that."

London, Aug. 27 (ANI): British Prime Minister David Cameron has told Russian president Vladimir Putin there was little doubt a chemical weapons attack had been carried out by the Syrian regime.
Cameron made the comments while speaking over phone to Putin in the wake of last week's suspected chemical attack in Syria.
Putin however told him they had no evidence that an attack had taken place or who was responsible, the Downing Street said.
According to the BBC, a decision on whether to recall Parliament will be made on Tuesday.
The alleged chemical attack took place on Wednesday near the Syrian capital Damascus, and reportedly killed more than 300 people.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said the attack was a 'moral obscenity'.
UN inspectors have visited the site of the suspected attack, although their trip was delayed after their convoy was shot at by snipers, the report added. (ANI)

Needless to say, it is an extraordinary trip that will take you from the shore of Lake Geneva to the world-famous alpine resort of Alpe d'Huez. In between, you'll climb some of France's most famous cols: Colombiere, Aravis, Saisies, Madeleine, Telegraphe, Galibier, and Alpe d'Huez.
Note that this tour can also be organized for cycling clubs and private groups on a request basis. For these, we will taylor the itinerary and provide the appropriate support based on the group's fitness level.
This tour has been awarded the coveted "Trip of the Year" title by Outside Magazine in 2011!
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival in Geneva - Transfer to Anthy
Arrive at Geneva International Airport. We will greet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel located in Anthy by Lake Geneva. Dinner will also be right by the lake.
Day 2: Anthy to Le Grand Bornand (90 km or 55 miles)
Today's destination is Le Grand Bornand (in the heart of the Aravis mountain range), home of the Reblochon cheese (locals' Powerbar!) and where you'll dine and stay overnight. On your way, you will ride through the very scenic Chablais region (our playground; our office is nearby!). The ride includes one major climb: Col de la Colombiere (1,613 m 5,290 ft). Dinner and accommodations are in Le Grand Bornand.
Day 3: Le Grand Bornand – Albertville (52 km or 32 miles)
You'll leave the very picturesque Le Grand Bornand and get on the classic "Route des Grandes Alpes," a mountain route that links Lake Geneva (Thonon-les-Bains) to the Mediterranean Sea (Menton). After climbing Col des Aravis (1,486 m or 4,460 ft.), you'll plunge down to the valley before attacking the second climb of the day: Col des Saisies (1,657 m or 4,970 ft.). Gravity will take you down to Albertville, where you'll dine and stay overnight.
Day 4: Albertville – Valloire (102 km or 64 miles)
Another classic day! You'll conquer Col de la Madeleine; one of the most mythic and classic mountain passes featured in the Tour de France. The top culminates at an impressive 2,000 m or 6,000 ft, the highest so far… until tomorrow! The northern side is a very enjoyable, long and steady climb that has its rewards- an unobstructed panoramic view of the nearby mountains. Make sure you enjoy it while at the top… sightseeing might be the last thing on your mind when barreling down the twisty 20-km downhill to the Maurienne Valley. After a flat section when you reach the base of the valley, you'll ascend the easy Col du Télégraphe (1,566 m or 4,700 ft.) and reach the beautiful resort of Valloire.
Day 5: Valloire – Alpe d'Huez or Oz-en-Oisans (85 km or 53 miles)
Valloire is located at the foot of the Galibier pass (2,642 m or 7.926 ft.), the mammoth climb of the day. Riding this legendary climb is magic: graffiti from past Tours will remind you that this road has seen many showdowns since it was first used by Tour de France riders in 1911. You'll be rewarded with stunning views of the Meije glacier and with a memorable 40-km (25 miles) descent to Bourg d'Oisans, before charging up the 13-km (8 miles) climb to Alpe d'Huez. The time to beat: 37'35", a record held by Marco Pantani since 1995.
Day 6: Departure
After breakfast, depart Alpe d'Huez at the time of your choice (self-guided version). Note that transfers to Grenoble or Geneva can be arranged on request. NOTE THAT YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE TO RIDE ALPE D'HUEZ TO NICE

An East Lincoln man faces accusations of distributing child pornography following a joint federal and local investigation.
An undercover agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation assisted Sheriff's detectives in doing a "preliminary forensics examination" Thursday at an eastern Lincoln County man's residence, locating child pornography on the suspect's computers, the Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies searched the home of Sebastian Alexander Morris and found images and videos of children on three laptops, a ThinkPad and I-phone, according to a Sheriff's Office press release.
The FBI's Cyber Task Force in Charlotte notified Lincoln County Sheriff's detectives Oct. 3 of the distribution of child pornography on the county's eastern end.
Warrants indicate Morris, 26, of 7176 Quail Hunt Drive in Stanley, victimized "an unknown minor," the Sheriff's Office said.
He faces four felony counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor/distributing material and has since posted a $40,000 secured bond.
Morris had a first appearance on Friday and is set to again appear in district court on Oct. 25, the Clerk of Court's Office said.
More charges may be filed in the case as the investigation continues.

Real Madrid superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo jokes around during spa treatment after being rested for Portugal trip.
Portugal international football star, Cristiano Ronaldo took time out of his busy schedule to chill and appeared to be enjoying a spa treatment on Friday.
The Real Madrid forward shared images of himself pulling amusing, startled expressions with cream on his face, and captioned the Instagram posts: 'Funny moments'.
It seems the 30-year-old also appeared to be undergoing a mud treatment with his torso completely covered as he sat back on a beige cushion and navy towel.
Having already qualified for Euro 2016, Portugal boss Fernando Santos has rested star man Ronaldo for Saturday's friendly match with Russia.

Bruce Guptill, Charlie Burns Research Alerts
What is Happening?
Conversations at the January ISG Executive Provider Summit with CEOs, CTOs and global product/service leaders of leading IT providers Cognizant, HCL, Hexaware, NTT DATA, Inc., and Softtek have helped us to crystallize core trends and market developments that we're seeing in our work with enterprise and provider clients alike.
The net takeaway is this: Providers "get" Digital Transformation. They understand what enterprises are trying to accomplish, and the resulting need to change what they themselves do and how they do it.
But while providers are taking important steps in the right direction, each also faces substantial challenges in balancing their own and enterprise clients' current interests and capabilities, versus what is in the best interests of both parties over the long term. It is a complex, costly, and potentially dangerous cycle wherein providers are re-inventing themselves and clients, while clients re-invent themselves and providers.
Why is it Happening?
Let's start with an important position statement: IT providers demonstrate more digital transformational knowledge and technology leadership than the vast majority of enterprise business and IT leaders. They know how to "do digital" better than most of their clients. They understand the strategic point of view and the required planning and management. They are bringing to market a wealth of digital business consulting and planning capabilities, and improving on these through strategic acquisitions and partnerships.
Meanwhile, most enterprises want, and are trying to, develop and pursue key aspects of digital transformation on their own. Most also report initial success. However, we know from our research that these successes are mostly minor and fleeting, because of two factors. First, the vast majority of digital initiatives to date are tightly-focused, small in scale, developed without an integrative strategy, and not measured effectively. Second, digital is still so new that enterprises leaders lack the experience and knowledge required to develop effective, unifying strategies. And it is still rare to find the CEO and CIO who recognize that they cannot do it all themselves – that they need to be led. So, while we see more IT providers like Cognizant, HCL, Hexaware, NTT DATA, and Softtek developing and bringing to market a range of what can best be called "digital leadership" services, we don't yet see a critical mass of enterprise leaders able or willing to take advantage of these.
Forward-looking IT providers understand this, and so continue to develop IP-led capabilities to address the more focused, tactical digital improvements that most enterprises are aware of and capable of benefiting from. This includes putting together IP based on existing technologies and weaving in more emerging technologies, really moving far beyond traditional IT services in more ways. So we see more providers investing in IP, especially for industry-specific digital business process improvement. And because enterprise clients today tend to focus on tightly-focused digital improvements, there is more interest in "outcome-based" contracting aligned with specific business or IT operations and processes. And we see increased and accelerating provider investment in market-specific knowledge and capabilities through partnering with and acquiring market-, operation-, and process-specific technology, software, and services providers.
Net Impact
The range of what enterprises want and require for digital transformation is increasingly complex. This is forcing re-invention of provider-side portfolios and business models well beyond the changes already being forced by evolving IT sourcing practices and patterns.
This is much more than weaving automation, analytics and autonomics into specific, digital-supportive solutions. It is an increasingly complex and shifting mix of provider- and client-side technologies, business models, and relationships. Things can quickly get more costly than anticipated. It is a real danger for providers, even those who "get" what digital means strategically while understanding and addressing typically tactical enterprise digital requests. We see a significant likelihood of providers' stumbling on the digital journey, despite the current clarity of vision and intent.
That being said, the spreading scope of digital-driven business and IT complexity will give rise to one of the greatest long-term opportunities for both providers and enterprise clients: re-invented integration. To make digital business work in the long term, enterprises will need an integrative business+IT strategy and rapidly-improving and expanding integration capabilities across potentially thousands of digital project instances. Such strategic and integrative capabilities will be the purview of the re-invented IT providers as they shift toward:
- A broader systems integration role that focuses on more complex and comprehensive projects such as infrastructure transformation; and
- A business integration role that focuses on measurable enterprise business transformation and improvement over time.
Such a shift, or series of shifts more likely, raises further questions that we will continue to address for our subscription research and advisory clients, including the following:
- If, as part of their emerging digital transformation roles, IT providers take over more business IT planning, delivery, and leadership, what becomes of the CIO's job?
- And if outsourced IT development, delivery, and execution are increasingly correlated to specific business outcomes, what becomes the primary value of the enterprise IT organization?
- What are the next critical changes that IT and services procurement leaders and organizations need to consider – and how quickly?
We're not putting the cart before the horse. Anyone who spends any reasonable amount of time within or around enterprise IT understands the inherent, massive complexities that effectively limit the pace and amount of change that is possible in a given amount of time. We cannot forget or discount the traditional business of IT providers and the reasons for enterprise outsourcing. As one CIO now working in the sourcing industry recently told us, there is "still a ton of blocking and tackling and drudge work" going on, and that will remain the "meat and potatoes" of IT provider business for the near future. There is still a long, long way to go for most enterprises in transformation, and therefore also for IT providers. So providers will be tested as they remain in multiple cycles of re-invention that are developing at differing speeds. They face multiple, competing and overlapping business models, resource requirements, and timeframes. Success will come from balancing a focus on "point solution" enterprise transformation and modernization, typically of specific IT functions, operations, and outputs, while investing more over time in strategic, bespoke business and IT consulting capabilities. The greatest challenges will come in determining how much, and when, to shift investment from traditional business or tactical digital initiatives to tactical initiatives or strategic services.


text: Should we ake a look? http://www.scoresreport.com/2009/10/14/report-chiefs-down-on-glenn-dorsey/ Report: Chiefs down on Glenn Dorsey Posted by Anthony Stalter (10/14/2009 @ 11:05 am) According to NFL.coms Jason La Canfora, the Chiefs are already down on former first round pick Glenn Dorsey and are willing to trade him. La Canfora writes that the new coaching staff isnt high on Dorsey and that the salary cap ramifications wouldnt be a deterrent in dealing him before the October 20 deadline. This isnt shocking news considering that Dorsey isnt a fit for the Chiefs new 3-4 defensive front. He excels at shooting the gaps as a 4-3 tackle, which is what he played at LSU. He isnt big enough to play nose in a 3-4, and his pass-rush talents are wasted as an end in a 3-4. If the report is true and the Chiefs do plan to trade him, one team that could be interested in Dorsey is the Falcons. They were reportedly deciding between Dorsey and Matt Ryan in last years draft and there was also a rumor that the Falcons were interested in trading for the D-tackle before this years draft. The Falcons addressed their defensive tackle need in April with the selection of first round pick Peria Jerry. But he suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 and the Falcons could use an interior pass-rusher to go along with Jonathan Babineaux. Once Jerry is healthy, the Falcons could have a fantastic defensive tackle rotation in Babineaux, Jerry and Dorsey (assuming they trade for Dorsey). But would it be worth it for the Falcons to part with draft picks next year to acquire Drosey? Again, theyve already addressed the need with Jerry, who will return to health next year (hopefully) and they also dont have a second round pick in 2010 because of the trade for Tony Gonzalez. I doubt the Chiefs would part with Dorsey for a third rounder, so would the Falcons part with a first rounder? Its doubtful. Man I wonder if they would take a second rounder for him?

Pennine League Premier Division outfit West Bowling have announced their new coaching team for next season.
New head coaches will be former Keighley Cougars assistant Glen Barraclough, who has been coaching at Keighley for seven years, and Douggie Lumb, who has stepped up from the under-18s role – the side having completed a successful season in the Yorkshire Youth League Premier Division.
Lumb will also be bringing with him at least half of last season's promising juniors into the already youthful open-age section.
Both men are former Bowling players with vast experience and are keen to pass on their own structures and ideas.
Pre-season training will start early June and any committed players out there are welcome to come down and try there hand.
The club are now looking for a second-team coach to underpin the first-team squad.

Trump says NFL too worried about players' safety
"Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!"
Don Bauder 7:15 p.m., Sept. 23
Police in El Cajon are asking for assistance in identifying a man they believe to be tied to at least two fast-food robberies in recent days.
On Monday, December 30, a suspect described in a release from Lt. Frank La Haye as "a possible Black or Asian male adult in his early twenties, 5'8" and approximately 150 pounds," robbed a Subway restaurant on the 200 block of West Main. After brandishing a handgun, he escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash.
On New Year's Day, a suspect matching the description from the earlier robbery arrived at a Rally's restaurant and once again pulled out a gun and demanded money. The attempt was unsuccessful, as the suspect was forced to flee without any cash.
Authorities have released surveillance photos from the Subway robbery and are asking the public for help in identifying the suspect, who remains at large and is described by police as armed and dangerous. A $1000 reward is offered for information leading to arrest by calling 888-580-8477.
I thought Trevon Martin was no longer with us. Okay, bad on me, just had to say it. Sorry.

Fantastic location. Short walk to the castle and even shorter walk to Charles Bridge. The room was clean and I got fresh towels every day. I was a little bit disappointed that there is not a common area to meet other travellers (but maybe it's better in the summer when the outside space is used?).

There is nothing the area to do so you'll need to get a Metro card, but it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the main sites and the metro is safe and easy. The hostel itself was clean, friendly, and has a real nice garden. I'm older than the typical traveler (40) so I went with the single room. I'm glad that I did but fair warning that it doesn't have air conditioning and looks out on the garden which gets used a lot (noisy). Overall, it's a great place for the price just a bit far out.

"In 2013, we have a chance to present this narrative in a production that genuinely engages the ideas and politics of our time, right here in our own community."
The audience is invited to participate in a special Q-and-A format with Amanda Folena, artistic director, at 1:15 p.m. Sept. 15 and 21. A Talk-Back event, hosted by Dramaturge, will also be held Sept. 22 immediately following the performance.

Bay Area Gardeners Foundation awards scholarships to 20 students
The Bay Area Gardeners Foundation awarded 20 students $1,500 scholarships each at its seventh annual Student Recognition and Fundraiser Dinner held Aug. 3 at the CitiGarden Hotel in South San Francisco.
Univision anchorwoman Maria Leticia Gomez, master of ceremony, and BAGF President Ramiro Maldonado and Vice President Marlene Castro welcomed about 250 people to the event.
This year's awardees are: Cynthia Anguiano, of Santa Rosa; Jennifer Coello, Elanie Huang, Sidney Lin, Kevin Stephen, Alondra Varela, Qianwen "Polly" Zhang, of Oakland; Alejandra Cruz, of Morgan Hill; Adriana Fernandez, of San Mateo; Jessica Vanessa Mena Flores, of San Pablo; Karen Gallardo, of Vacaville; Bibiana Marisol Vega Jaimes, of San Jose; Yarely Lopez, of Redwood City; Omar Alejandro Alonzo, Alejandro Galicia, William Wibowo Liem, Anna Mai, Nancy Maldonado, of San Francisco; Kawal Preet, of Santa Clara; Kafiuska Betzabe Pimentel Vargas, of Novato.
Lopez and Vargas each received an additional $1,000 Cheyita Book Fund award (named after the late Cheyita Doswell McRoskey, who loved to read and whose son is a gardener), for scoring the highest number of points in meeting the foundation's criteria.
Dr. Martha A. Mejia, 1986 Stanford University graduate who is a bicultural, trilingual physician who specializes in internal medicine in San Carlos, was the keynote speaker. Born in Mexico, she shared her experience in becoming a doctor in America in spite of originally not speaking English.
"There are 52 million Hispanics in the United States," Mejia said. "We are not a minority, we are an invisible majority." Challenging each student to make a difference, Mejia said, "Young people are needed in multiple professions. Dream big with your eyes open. You need to have pride in everything you do. To succeed, you need to know yourself. Life is today! Success starts one step at a time — your best is yet to come."
Chico resident Sergio Garcia, who put himself through college and Cal Northern School of Law in Chico by working odd jobs, was also a speaker. He talked about how he passed the tough California bar exam on his first try but has been unable to succeed in receiving his law license due to his undocumented immigrant statue.
Garcia's parents first brought him to the United States when he was 17 months old. When he was about 8, his parents returned to Mexico. At 17, he returned to the United States and graduated from high school with several awards although he no longer spoke English at that time.
"When I was 10 and attending a government school in Mexico, I had a dream to become an attorney," said Garcia. "A teacher encouraged me to pursue my dream. I published my first book at age 22, which helped me go to law school."
At the conclusion of his talk, Garcia announced that he would donate $1,000 of his own money to the Bay Area Gardeners Foundation for students.
Catalino Tapia founded the Bay Area Gardeners Foundation in 2002. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded more than 132 scholarships to students attending private and public universities throughout the U.S.
The foundation's motto, "With Scholarships We'll Form a Better Future," aptly describes its mission to provide college support for students from low-to-moderate income communities who demonstrate intelligence, initiative, and a commitment to community service. Students are also offered enrichment workshops and forums to learn about the information and skills necessary to succeed in college.
Wells Fargo was the major sponsor of the event. Arteaga's Supermarket; Chavez Supermarket; First National Bank of Northern California; Fremont Smile Dental Clinic; Joshua Hugg; Lyngso Garden Materials; Martha Mejia, M.D.; Mi Rancho Supermarket; San Mateo County Sheriff's Youth Programs Fund; San Mateo Credit Union; and Wegman's Nursery were also sponsors.
For inquiries or to donate, call 650-631-1200, go to www.bagf.org, or make check payable to BAGF and mail to BAGF, P.O. Box 3446, Redwood City, Calif., 94064.
Golden Gate Harley group delivers school supplies to San Mateo Medical Center
The Golden Gate Chapter #310 Harley Owners Group delivered its fourth annual School Supply Run on Aug. 10 to the San Mateo Medical Center.
The HOGS — as the members call themselves — are sponsored by the Dudley Perkins Company in South San Francisco, which will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2014.
About 70 riders roared in on their motorcycles; followed by an American Medical Response vehicle filled with backpacks and school supplies. They were greeted by staff, volunteers, patients and their families, and then attended a reception hosted by the volunteers. (To see photos of the event and learn more about the HOGs, go to www.goldengatehog.net.) The HOGs donated more than 200 backpacks and the medical staff donated about 60. All the backpacks, which contained various school supplies that are chosen according to grade levels, are donated to children from low-income families who receive care at the medical center and its community clinics.
In addition, Neal McClurg, a past HOG director and a one of the key members who organized the event, along with the Brent Bison, the current HOG Director, presented a $1,000 check from their organization to Glynis Carreira, the medical center's volunteer coordinator, to continue helping with children's needs throughout the year.
This is not the only time this generous organization supports the medical center and the families it serves. The HOGs will be back to the San Mateo Medical Center on Dec. 14 to deliver their eagerly anticipated 24th annual Toy Run.
If you have any news tips about our county communities, call or fax Carolyn at 650-355-5533 or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Next year will be different for many reasons. Tiger Woods will have fewer sponsors, Hey Hey It's Saturday will be considered prime-time entertainment and Tony Abbott could spearhead an election campaign.
However, broker Morgan Stanley expects more of the same from equities markets.
The broker said in its recent global market outlook that the equities rally could continue and rise by a further 15 per cent in 2010
Morgan Stanley's equities strategy team believes equities will outperform credit and government bonds, but the broker is wary that any tentative signs from corporate earnings could bring a halt to the equities rally and a return to low risk assets.
However, as the investor focus shifts from buying into an earnings recovery, to delivery of earnings expectations, Morgan Stanley believes large cap stocks with strong earnings histories will begin to differentiate themselves from the rest of market, and "deserve a valuation premium in an uncertain growth world".
Globally the broker is instructing its clients to be 'overweight' Asia ex-Japan, 'overweight' Japan, 'neutral' America, 'underweight' UK and Europe.

OF Matt Joyce was the center of attention before the game, posing for a photo shoot to accompany an upcoming story in ESPN The Magazine, working with a crew of a half-dozen. "It was a cool experience," Joyce said. "Definitely the first time I did anything like that. It was fun. You just feel honored."
Bounceback of the day
LHP J.P. Howell, right, said he was still troubled by Sunday's rough outing when he went to bed but was over it by Monday morning.

"That one for me lasted a little longer. … But when I woke up, I didn't feel even close to how bad I felt when I went to bed."
