You can't spell opportunity without the letters I and R. With the NHL regular season opening this morning in London, certain teams have to had to make some last-minute adjustments to deal with some critical last-minute injuries. Here are the kids tapped to fill those spots.
Injuries: Colin White, Indefinitely (Eye)
Replacements: Matthew Corrente
Another Devils draftee from the bottom of the first round will also be making his NHL debut. 30th overall in 2006, physical rearguard Matthew Corrente has seen a roster spot appear out of nowhere thanks a freak accident in practice that has sidelined dependable vet Colin White. Initially projected to be a defenseman in the same mold as White- AKA zero fantasy value- Corrente himself was a victim of injury, sidelined for all but 43 games last season. However, when he did return, it was with a bang. After a trade to the Mississauga IceDogs, the 19 year-old posted 11 points and 27 PIM in 14 games. Corrente could be a very valuable player in the way Sean Avery is- 170+ PIM and 30+ points, most of them on the powerplay.
Injuries: Ethan Moreau, 1-2 Weeks (Ankle) and Fernando Pisani, Indefinitely (Colitis)
Replacements: Andrew Cogliano and Kyle Brodziak
The good luck just keeps coming for the Edmonton Oilers. 2005-06 saw the team lose starting goaltender and Conn Smythe candidate Dwayne Roloson in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, have star defender Chris Pronger shipped out of town on fuzzy trade demands, and the roster depleted by free agency. Last season, the Oil were first in the Northwest Division in December when Ethan Moreau dislocated a shoulder trying to fight Danny Markov. The injuries piled up, Ryan Smyth was traded, and then the team wasn't even bad enough to get a top-five pick. This year already, clutch scorer and shutdown specialist Fernando Pisani is looking at the end of his career thanks to a bout with Ulcerative Colitis, a devestating condition talked about more below. And, oh yeah, Ethan Moreau is gone again, this time on account of a swollen ankle.
It turns out the answers to both injuries lie on the pre-season stat sheet. Andrew Cogliano (four goals, six points) and Kyle Brodziak (five points) are first and second respectively amongst Oilers rookies in exhibition scoring. Cogliano's goal totals, in fact, lead all Edmonton players, and put him near the top league-wide. It doesn't hurt that three of them came against the rival Calgary Flames. With both players locking up roster spots- Brodziak was close to a shoe-in, but 'Cogs' was just named as such Friday - the loss of the team's top two defensive forwards is just sort of dampened. While Brodziak won't register more than 35 points over a full season, Cogliano is worth a promotion from your keeper league farm team. A fifty-point player in the NCAA last season, the speedster has been compared to fellow Canadian Paul Kariya for- what else?- his game-changing speed and ability to work with the puck while in full-flight.
Injury: Dan Boyle, 4-6 Weeks (Lacerated Wrist)
Replacement: Shane O'Brien (in terms of ice time and opportunity)
One of the odder injuries in NHL lore couldn't have happened to a more critical player. Already a mess from the blueline back- actually, from the top line back- the Tampa Bay Lightning lost #1 defenseman Dan Boyle when one of his skates fell off its hook... and onto his arm. The resulting cut required four stitches and damaged a vital tendon in the wrist, one of those things a puck-rushing rearguard needs to play hockey.
A rare mistake by Anaheim GM Brian Burke, may, however, work out even better for the Lightning. Acquired at the 2007 trade deadline, 'Doctor' Burke's evil plan saw promising prospect Shane O'Brien moved to Tampa for first rounder he planned to parlay into something more useful to a Cup run. The draft pick, however, was never moved, and the Ducks lost a player who could have helped the team recover from Scott Niedermayer's sabbatical. A hulking beast at 6'2, 235, the 24 year-old netted 41 points and a staggering 287 PIM in the AHL during 2005-06. A fantasy must-have in deeper leagues thanks to his penalty totals, the Lightning plan to pair O'Brien on the top unit with Filip Kuba- meaning offensive production could be on the way, too.
Now, as promised, a look at the mysterious disease that's dogging Edmonton Oiler Fernando Pisani. As someone with a similar disorder, I know all too well the challenge that lies ahead for the hometown boy who delivered in a big way during the team's 2006 Cup run.
What is it?
Ulcerative Colitis, or UC, is a condition that affects the large intestine and/or colon. It is characterized by ulcers, or open sores, along the digestive tract. UC is a form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, a class of diseases that strike the digestive system.
What happens?
Imagine your arm being covered in tiny cuts. Now imagine pouring salt over that particular limb. And imagine doing that randomly for random lengths of time. Not a fun way to live your life. However, UC is systemic- it affects other parts of the body. Joint pain, ulcers on the tongue and lips, blood in one's stool and inflammation of the eyes can all occur because of this condition. Fatigue and weight loss are two other general complains, with the fatigue coming due to pain simply wearing a person down.
What causes it?
UC is passed on through the genes, but diet and smoking are thought to also play a role in a person developing the disease.
What brings the symptoms on?
Like most chronic illnesses, the pain and related issues caused by UC tend to come and go, regardless of a person's treatment method. However, there are certain triggers that vary from person to person. Mine are tomatos, MSG, spices, and wheat. Others I have heard include milk, fatty foods, and sugar.
How can UC be treated? Is it curable?
The only surefire cure for UC is surgery. Such surgery would involve the removal of the bowel, and this would require drastic lifestyle changes- a person would need alternative methods of removing waste from their body. Obviously, such a change is not for everyone, nor is it necessary.
A combination of a special diet, medication and lifestyle changes is the path that most sufferers of IBDs follow. For example, my treatment plan looks like this:
-No tomato sauce.
-No foods high in MSG.
-No spicy foods.
-Try to abstain from fatty foods and meat.
-Eat baked goods made from gluten-free ingredients when possible. I avoid pasta.
-Eat lots of yogurt.
-Avoid alcohol and tobacco.
-Take Amitryptiline before bed and another anti-inflammatory in the morning.
One must also become very aware of their body. I can tell when I am about to have an attack, and can therefore take the proper steps to ensure I and others are safe (re: stop driving, etc.)
For some, UC can be managed to the point where it rarely poses a problem. For others, it's an ongoing battle.
Why is Fernando out indefinitely?
While I cannot say for sure, I can relate to how it affected my life when the symptoms first came on:
I was 17, and entering Grade 11. One day, I began having serious pain in the bowels. I was taken to the hospital, where it was thought that perhaps I had appendicitis. When it was determined that that wasn't the case, numerous tests and specialist visits followed. It took a year before the condition was diagnosed, and another two to come to grips with how to manage it.
As a professional athlete, Ferando is used to training at a high level, and is used to being able to push his body to extreme limits. Depending on the severity of his case- there are four levels of UC, which range from mild to serious and requiring surgery- he either will have to mildly adapt his training and lifestyle practices, or he will have to stop playing altogether. Again, as we do not know the seriousness, it would be premature to say he'll be forced out of hockey. But he might be. Or he might be ready to go next week. It all depends on the severity of his condition.
I'm not an athlete, but the onset of my condition interrupted my life a great deal. At the time, I didn't know what it was, and began to avoid food altogether. I lost a good 40 pounds, and didn't have the energy to do anything. After a night of pain, the last thing I wanted was to go to school. It almost cost me a place at university.
For me personally, I am lucky enough to have a mild disease that does not involve anything more drastic than pain now that it is managed. It required then-drastic lifestyle changes, but I can live fairly normally and only once a year or so do I need to go into the hospital for treatment. This treatment involves the use of a high dose of my usual drugs in order to relax and reset my bowels.
Perhaps the biggest side-effect is social stigma. You have to ask for special foods wherever you go, you have to maybe not do things your friends can, and you may need to frequently go to the washroom for long periods of time. Italian families, obiviously, eat Italian foods. Maybe he won't be able to do that anymore. I know I can't eat such food, as it's all pasta and sauces.
In my case, bathroom habits are perhaps the strangest to explain. Dinner and a movie is tough to do- that involes risky foods and sitting for long periods of time, and I often need to use the washroom for a good hour afterwards. In the mornings, I have two or three 'false starts' that involve me thinking I need to go, when I don't or can't. My co-workers and family are used to seeing me run to the bathroom three times in as many hours. That's going to be the biggest thing for Fernando- a strong, supportive family and team. As far as I know, he has a great family, a great set of teammates, and his lifestyle isn't rumored to involve drugs or any such thing. He has everything needed to recover a good quality of life.

Jessica Coan Hurls No. 4 Saints to Sweep of Hurricanes
AMERICUS, GA – The 4th-ranked North Georgia softball team continued their winning ways on Friday evening, sneaking out a 2-1 victory in the opener, before coming back and routing Georgia Southwestern 11-3 in a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader.
The Saints run their winning streak to eight games, improving to 34-8 overall on the year and 10-2 in the Peach Belt Conference to take over the top spot in the league for the first time this season. The Hurricanes fall to 20-26 overall and 4-12 in league play.
Game one was all about the long ball as a pair of solo home runs propelled the Saints to a one-run victory. Hilary Cox got things started in the first inning, blasting her league-leading 11th home of the run of the season over the fence in left center to put North Georgia on top. The solo home run was the junior's 39th run batted in of the season as the Saints jumped out to the early lead.
The Hurricanes bounced back in the fifth inning and knotted the score at a run apiece when Lyndi Duff legged out an infield single, and Jessica Martin followed and doubled to left field, sending Duff around to score what would be the only run of the game for Georgia Southwestern.
The Saints would break the deadlock in the seventh inning as Katherine Martin led off and drilled a solo home run to centerfield, the sophomore's third long ball of the year to give North Georgia all the runs they would need in a 2-1 victory.
Jessica Coan slammed the door in the seventh inning, striking out the side to earn her 17th victory of the season. She allowed four hits and added 12 strikeouts in all 7.0 innings of work.
The offense came alive for the Saints in the nightcap, scoring 11 runs on as many hits to cruise to an 11-3 victory and cap the doubleheader sweep. North Georgia scored seven runs over the final two innings to seal the victory, benefiting from four players chipping in a multiple hit game.
Ansley Williams was productive early, doubling home the game's first run in the second inning to plate Katherine Martin, and singling in the fourth to send Victoria St. Clair home as part of a three-run frame.
The big inning came in the sixth frame when North Georgia scored five runs on as many hits, including a two-run double by Sarah Johnson to start the hit parade. Callie Fernandez and Katherine Martin both followed with run scoring base knocks later in the inning to send the Saints to an eight-run victory.
Kasey Knight continued her torrid pace at the plate, adding a pair of hits in the nightcap to take over the team lead in batting average, currently hitting .374 as the senior leads the Peach Belt Conference with 55 hits on the year. After the solo home run in the opener, the Hurricanes wanted no part of Hilary Cox, walking the junior four times in game two.
Coan (18-3) picked up another win in the nightcap, tossing 5.1 innings and striking out eight more batters to extend her PBC strikeout lead to 212 for the season. Krysten Connelly came on in relief, recording the final five outs and adding two strikeouts.
The Saints return to action on Sunday afternoon in a battle of the top two teams in the Peach Belt Conference as North Georgia travels to Columbus State University for another doubleheader. First pitch is set for 1:00 p.m. at Cougar Field.

Lake Mendota County Park
[ 6/10 ]
One of the Dane County parks located in the Madison area. The sites are in a park like setting with large trees, which limit sattelite use. There is some traffic noise. Restrooms/showers are some distance from the rv sites, as they service the beach and playground area of the park. They are rather dated, but useable. Water is also quite some distance from the rv sites. This an acceptable campground, while visiting the Madison area.
Waupun, Wisconsin
Waupun County Campground
[ 8/10 ]
This is a nice county park, which per the campground host, typically has open sites on weekends. It has an updated shower/restroom building and paved interior roads. Several sites would accommodate big rigs, but the numerous trees would require cautious entry. The wooded campsites limit any satellite use. Limited recreational activities in the area cause the overall rating to fall short of excellent.

We loved our dear baby boy long before the very first time we heard his heartbeat (a good, strong 150 bpm). He was a "planned pregnancy" – as far as we mortals get to plan such things – by no means an "oops" as my siblings and I used to joke about each other when we were kids. We wanted to have a baby, and we wanted to get pregnant at a certain time, and by God's grace, we did. The pregnancy was in every way normal. His birth didn't go quite the way we planned – do they ever? Nonetheless he arrived safe and sound, and mom had no major or lasting complications. We wanted a baby and we got a "perfect" baby. (We have many dear friends for whom aspects of that story have not gone nearly as smoothly, and we long with them and pray along with them – we recognize that God chose to uncommonly bless us, and we're grateful.)
Maybe it's that precious little boy's birth story that makes our second child's story all the more surprising.
Why do you want to adopt?
There is no single, simple answer to this question, but it has been a dream for both of us since we were kids ourselves to grow our future families through adoption. Part of it is an awareness of the overwhelming need – there are so many millions of children in this world who are in need of parents, and we are parents with room for one or more of those children, in our hearts and homes. Simple math, right? Another reason is that we recognize that all adoption comes from loss. Some tragic circumstance – a death, an abandonment, another tremendously difficult set of circumstances – has resulted in each orphaned child being placed for adoption. We've had loss in our lives, too, and we want to be there for one or more of those children in their loss, both to nurture and love in the place of their natural parents (because it's needed) and to strive toward understanding and healing together as we work to understand God's purpose in those losses. There are plenty of other reasons, too.
Many couples struggle with infertility or other pregnancy problems and never seriously consider adoption, and that's understandable to us. You can't replace a lost child with another, and not everybody is called to adopt (though we wish more people who were open to it pursued it through the risk, expense, and uncertainty). We're just sure that this path is God's plan for us, whatever its outcome.
Don't you want to have more children of your own?
We'll be honest – we don't like this question. Each adopted child, Lord willing, is very much a "child of our own." Not "flesh of our flesh," perhaps, but every bit as much a part of our heart and family as the ones who share our direct genome. What you probably really mean is, don't you want to have more biological children? (As opposed to synthetic children, we suppose… haha.)
Don't you want to have more children, um, the old-fashioned way?
Yes, if God allows. And we want to adopt more children, too. We are hoping for a "mixed family" where no one child "belongs" more than the others, even when they are not of the same ethnicity as us or each other. That will have its challenges, we're sure, but they are important challenges to have.
Isn't adoption risky/unethical/expensive/…?
There are a lot of reasons not to adopt, but as we step into the process we recognize it's important to be aware that adoption – perhaps especially international adoption – has its potential pitfalls and shady corners. Additionally, we don't purport to be "perfect parents" with clean family and health histories that make any foreign government fools for not freely giving us all their unattached children. In the end, there's a chance we won't end up with an adopted child at all – there are no guarantees. But we don't doubt that, for now, this is how we have been called to "visit orphans" (more on that below). And if all goes well, we can't say for sure what that child will be like, who he or she will grow up to be, or what struggles they will have. But then again, we can't say any of that in advance for our "from mommy's tummy" children, either, and we certainly aren't about to turn them away based on that risk.
As far as the question of ethics, there can indeed be corruption in terms of the governments and money involved; there can be "child trafficking" as part of that corruption if due diligence hasn't been performed to find or reunite a child with his or her natural parents, etc. There is the mostly inevitable loss of native culture the child will experience as they come under an American couple's roof (no matter what country they reside in – since we don't plan to reside in America). We take all of this very seriously, and we've done a good bit of research into this, and have chosen an agency we believe is doing their utmost to minimize or eliminate these shady corners by investing in family preservation in the child's country of origin and thoroughly investigating each situation to the best of their ability. We can't do this ourselves, so we have to trust somebody, but we really believe our agency has very high standards and motivation in this regard, and they are transparent about their efforts.
Is it expensive? Yes. But we believe God will provide – and is already providing.
What does it mean to "visit orphans"?
This phrase means very little if you're not rocking James 1:27 in your mind whilst reading this long status update. While this verse has become rather hackneyed by virtue of the number of t-shirts it's been printed on, I can take you back to the original languages (with the help of nerdy software, since my Greek is limited to spanakopita, si vous plait – wait, some of that isn't Greek) and lay down for you what it really means to "visit orphans and widows." I'll spare you those details – though they are worthy of investigation – and say simply that "visiting" means more than saying hi and hanging out, but coming to care for and supply the needs of the ones (in this case, orphans and widows) being visited. There is certainly more than one way besides adoption to do this, but in terms of personal contact that takes responsibility to meet needs, this is a clear way the Lord has directed our family to visit at least one orphan. He no doubt calls us to "visit orphans" in a broader way (not to mention, widows aren't easily adoptable, at least legally speaking), but for one child, and we hope more, our family (minus our infant son, who like other kids doesn't get to vote on siblings) is drawn to this particular work, knowing that it will very much also "work on" us.
So… how's all that going?
For security and personal reasons (some involving laziness), we aren't publishing a blog or keeping regular updates on this site. We welcome you to sign up for our email list and you may get updates on our process that way – or for the modern uninitiated, consider speech and writing as forms of communication we would welcome. ;) We will try to keep the "big picture" progress up on this page, but don't expect details here, or Facebook, or in other public venues. It may be counter-cultural, but it's just not our "thing."
Thanks for your interest, though, and I hope that if you know us, you'll stay tuned to our email updates, which may be rare but filled with all the family and ministry search news (and witty banter) you can stand.
Until then… please pray for our second child, whomever he or she may be. This child may or may not be safe in whatever their current situation. They may not even be conceived yet, for all we know. But whatever their circumstances, there will be loss. We pray the Lord will keep our child safe and grow us to care for him or her in just the way that's needed, and that He will get all the glory through the waiting and working to bring our child home.

Volunteering boosts employment and health
In Poland, Kompania Piwowarska worked with an independent NGO, the Volunteering Centre, to analyse its employee volunteering programme. To understand, measure and manage the value of the programme by placing a monetary value on its social outcome, the company used the Social Return on Investment (SROI) calculation. The evaluation covered 19 projects carried out in conjunction with 18 non-profit organisations, looking at their long-term nature and the engagement of employees and local communities and reviewing tangible and intangible outcomes.
The results found that for every one Zloty invested through the programme, 5.81 Zlotys are returned to society through a range of benefits such as higher employment and better health. The 5.81 Zloty figure is considered high. Reports from stakeholders prove the programme was successfully conceived and deployed with employees given a choice of the causes to be funded.
Our priorities: Communities
Encouraging consumers to recycle
In a joint programme with Biedronka – the largest and fastest growing retailer in Poland – Kompania Piwowarska is working to increase consumer awareness of environmental issues and to promote the segregation and recycling of aluminium and glass packaging.
Implemented at 15 Biedronka outlets in 14 Polish towns, the programme has educated shoppers about their environmental impact and given consumers incentives for returning empy cans and bottles. For every five glass or aluminium containers a shopper returned, for example, they received a handy reusable eco-bag.
Over 10,000 eco-bags were given away in return for more than 10 tonnes of recycled glass and 13,000 aluminium cans weighing 300kg.
Our priorities: Packaging
The responsible business industry leader
In Poland, Kompania Piwowarska has been named Responsible Business Industry Leader as the highest-placed consumer goods company in the Ranking of Responsible Companies published by the Gazeta Prawna Daily in partnership with the Responsible Business Forum and Kozminski University. The company also claimed second place in the overall ranking.
The award took into account five areas of performance – responsible leadership, dialogue with stakeholders, community involvement, responsible management and social innovation. This ranking is the only comprehensive list to assess the largest companies in Poland on the quality of their management of corporate social responsibility and covers more than 150 companies operating in Poland.

No plumbing code allows a standpipe to be installed higher than the washer.
Do do this correctly will require a laundry pump system to pump the water from a basin into the building drain. An AAV will not work with a pumped system because it must allow air flow in both directions.
It appears that the home is only one story, which in most cases would mean that a vent line can be brought up through an interior wall without needing to "tear up" anything. The vent between floors does not need to be at the laundry if it makes it easier to route.

Interventional procedures
NICE makes recommendations about whether interventional procedures used for diagnosis or treatment are safe enough and work well enough for routine use.
An interventional procedure is a procedure used for diagnosis or treatment that involves one of the following:
- making a cut or a hole to gain access to the inside of a patient's body - for example, when carrying out an operation or inserting a tube into a blood vessel.
- gaining access to a body cavity (such as the digestive system, lungs, womb or bladder) without cutting into the body - for example, examining or carrying out treatment on the inside of the stomach using an instrument inserted via the mouth.
- using electromagnetic radiation (which includes X-rays, lasers, gamma-rays and ultraviolet light) - for example, using a laser to treat eye problems.
Notifications for Interventional Procedures
New notifications
Notify NICE of any new interventional procedure developed or about to be used in your organisation or by you and your colleagues
Review of IP Guidance
Inform NICE of safety concerns and new information you have about our existing guidance.
You should inform the programme of new evidence which might help the committee reach a different conclusion.

We are sad to report that summer is just about over– no more vacations, days by the pool and carefree thoughts. After all those summer memories you've created with your loved ones, we're sure you have a plethora of photos that need organizing! Follow these tips and tricks on storing and displaying your summer photos for everyone to enjoy.
One of the most daunting tasks is organizing your hundreds of summer photos before the beginning of fall. Whether you opt for real photo albums or digital ones, we've got both topics covered. When assembling a photo album, it seem the best method of organization is chronologically. Start by grouping photos by year, then month. Make sure you label the photos as you insert them in the album. For some extra help sorting photos, try a keepsake keeperto save precious time. The keeper provides easily accessible folders and tabs for sorting, and custom exterior labels and photos sleeves. Use the 12 roomy sections to sort photos by date or any category you choose!
For some more photo tips we have an expert from the photography world, Peter Medilek, a San Francisco photographer with a variety of high profile clients (check out his beautiful portfolio here http://www.petermedilek.com/). In terms of organizing photos, Peter says, "I usually create an online folder for each project or event. I rename each digital file with the folder name and assign an individual. After the project is completed, I back up the final files on an external hard drive and burn a DVD." If you prefer to stay away from online work, simply create the sub-folders according to date or event under a larger "Pictures" folder on your computer. If you prefer working in the digital world, try Blurb or Shutterfly for an easy experience you can share with friends and family. Peter shares, "For large events with many guests, I like uploading the selected files to www.shutterfly.com. It's easy to send out invites to the online album, and everybody can order reprints individually. For special occasions, I like printing photo books. My favorite is www.blurb.com; great software and quality."
If you're keeping photos in an album after all, there are a couple tips you should remember to keep photos looking great all year round. Peter recommends storing photos on a dry shelf, just as you would books. Avoid storing photos in high heat locations to prevent damage.
Coffee tables are also great for showcasing photo albums you want your guests to flip through. For a coffee table display, try a 6 section photo storage tray. The photo compartments can be sorted by date or event, and each compartment has a built-in frame so you can display your favorite image of the bunch for everyone to see.
Another common photo question concern is the type of paper used for printing. We wonder which we should use: glossy or matte? We've found that semi glossy paper seems best for scrapbooking and displaying photos. The paper won't stick to surfaces as much as pure glossy paper and will maintain a high color vibrancy. Peter adds, "Most durable is the good old fashioned photo pare ( FUJI, Kodak, Agfa). For more paper choices select from ink jet paper (Epson, Hahnemuehle), especially the Gallery versions of the ink jet paper, which claim to last for at least 100 years."
Now that you've got all your photos printed, it's time to choose some extra special ones to display around the house. The key is not to overdo it; no one likes to be surrounded by hundreds of photos in every room! We found that if you treat your photo collections as a large piece of art, they will come together magically. Peter tells us, "Too many small and different picture frame styles can be overwhelming. I like my friend's idea that all family pictures are displayed on one wall, they are all black and white images, and the frames are all dark wood stained (wenge/ black); looks very artistic. I personally have a few oversize images framlessly mounted to the walls. We mix in a couple of smaller frames and images. If you like to show a lot of pictures, create a grid of frames that match each others dimension and style."
For smaller displays that you can place on desks or counters, try single stackable photo boxes. The photo boxes allow you to store your prized memories at your fingertips and let you choose your favorite image to display in the built in frame. Create a unique, vibrant display with multiple photo boxes that you can arrange anywhere in any way. So parents, now that you have the tools and tips to organize your photos, make sure you hop to the task before your summer memories end up at the bottom of a drawer yet again!

Comcar chooses Bendix full-stability and collision mitigation technologies
Nationwide carrier bolsters fleet safety by adding Bendix ESP and Bendix Wingman Advanced.
Whether or not cruise control is engaged, Bendix Wingman Advanced provides following distance and stationary object alerts at any speed above approximately 10 mph. When cruise control is in use, the system will actively intervene to help drivers maintain a safe following distance behind a forward vehicle by reducing throttle; engaging the engine retarder; or, if necessary, applying the foundation brakes.
The system's collision mitigation feature provides additional braking interventions, delivering up to two-thirds of the vehicle braking power through the steer, drive, and trailer brakes. Above about 15 mph, this "always available" braking feature can assist drivers through an alert and an automatic application of the brakes to help decelerate the vehicle when a rear-end collision may be imminent. The driver still maintains control of the vehicle and can add additional braking or steering inputs to help avoid or minimize the collision situation.
"Comcar Industries is clearly focused on the safety of its fleet, and we are pleased that the company has turned to Bendix for its active safety technologies," said TJ Thomas, Bendix director of marketing and customer solutions, Controls group. "These solutions alone do not replace the need for alert, safe drivers practicing safe driving habits, and comprehensive driver training, but they are powerful options for reducing accidents and improving the safety of our highways."
Comcar has also spec'd its new trucks with Bendix AD-ISair dryers. Bendix air dryers keep air brake systems clean by collecting and removing solid, liquid, and vapor contaminants before they can jeopardize efficient operation. Providing clean, dry air to reservoirs, valves, and other components increases the life of air brake systems, reduces maintenance costs, and prevents system freeze-up.
The BendixESPand BendixWingmanAdvanced systems are part of the company's ever-growing portfolio of technology developments that delivers on safety, plus other areas critical to fleets' success. By improving vehicle performance and efficiency and providing unparalleled post-sales support, Bendix aims to help fleets and drivers lower total cost of vehicle ownership and strengthen return on investment in equipment and technology.
Bendix supports all of its commercial vehicle safety solutions through robust "train the trainer" driver and technician training programs, ASE-certified service teams, and the Bendix Tech Team – the venerable field technical phone support group representing over 85 years of comprehensive commercial vehicle troubleshooting experience.

Get a bottom price of a Portable DVD players
Portable DVD players are the greatest source of entertainment and can make us feel even a long journey a very short one. These are very easy to take anywhere where we go! But to buy Portable DVD players online is the best way to get it on discounted rates. If you haven't yet tried such a player yet, then you are missing some extraordinary entertainment in your tours and leisure hours.
Today, the internet is the best and most reliable way to grab any quality item at rock bottom prices. You will find it very easy and relaxing to do purchasing of Portable DVD players on the internet without wasting the time of going to the stores and face the heavy traffic on roads. It is very simple to order your piece of DVD player just sitting in the room of your home. The online buying of these players helps you to maintain your busy schedule without forcing to adjust your programs to visit a nearby brick and mortar store.
Basically, the main reason for getting the product in discounted rate on the internet is just because of no expenditure of maintaining big retail showrooms. The order in bulk by the showroom increases the cost of the products automatically; as all the products do not get sold at once, it takes time but the payment to the staff, bills, and other expenses do not get stopped. Therefore, to meet these expenses, the stores use to increase the prices of the product and ultimately that have to be born by the customers. So, now you must have understood why you need to pay more while buying Portable DVD players online. So, go for online purchasing of Portable DVD players now and save yourself some good amount of money.
Online purchasing of Portable DVD players also makes you comfy in the name of shipment of the product to your home. This happens just because many of the online stores have their own warehouse and so the cost of the transportation is not included in the price. Many people prefer online purchasing because of the main reason that on retails stores they use to get lesser varieties of the products in the display. But in the online mode, they are able to see almost all the models of the Portable DVD players.

Saying they weren't necessarily worried about losing teams in the ongoing spate of Division I conference realignment, OVC leaders approved this week a "purposeful increase" in membership and exit fees to reflect an "appropriate value" to league membership.
"It was not a reflection (commissioner Beth DeBauche) is worried somebody was going to leave or we're going to add a lot of people, it's just more that nothing happened in a long time," OVC spokesman Kyle Schwartz said.
The fees for leaving will run anywhere from $500,000 to $750,000 depending on the terms of the escape.
In the past, when a school left without providing a two-year transition — as Samford did in 2008 — it cost the school $200,000 plus the forfeiture of any year-end conference and basketball distribution revenue. Now, it will cost $750,000 plus the revenue forfeiture.
Even if a school does give the full two-year notice the price is $500,000 plus the revenue forfeiture it would be due during its lame-duck status. Previously, there was no lump sum exit fee.
It has long been speculated Jacksonville State would be interested in moving to the Sun Belt Conference if given the opportunity, but that seems to have lost momentum. The Sun Belt recently announced the additions of former FCS football powers Appalachian State and Georgia Southern, and JSU officials have said they're committed to producing the best program they could be on the level they currently play.
The Southern Conference, meanwhile, filled its vacancies with East Tennessee, Mercer and VMI.
When it comes to adding teams to the OVC — as it did with JSU in 2003, SIU-Edwardsville in 2008 and Belmont in 2012 — there previously were only administrative fees attached to joining.
Now, while the associated fees still apply, it will cost $150,000 for a Division II institution to join and $100,000 for a Division I school.
The action came after OVC officials studied what like conferences were doing and determined their league was seriously undervalued.
"The action items at the OVC spring meetings were made with progress in mind," DeBauche said in a statement. "From the changes to the membership entrance and exit fees (to the other items), decisions were made with the vision of our league moving forward and continuing to strengthen."
The league put off a decision to expand the OVC baseball tournament to eight teams, choosing instead to form a presidential subcommittee to examine bracketing and seeding philosophy for baseball, soccer and tennis. Opponents of the baseball expansion have said it threatens the goal of sending the league's best team to the NCAA regionals.
OVC leaders did approve the in-house management of their golf and tennis championships, enhancing an existing funding model for teams to host a Division I football playoff game to $60,000, and a contract extension for DeBauche through the 2016-17 academic year.
This coming academic year JSU officials will chair the league's board of presidents and board of athletics directors. Those responsibilities rotate throughout the league and was due to fall to Eastern Kentucky, but the EKU president is about to retire, which moves the spots to JSU.
In a related item, the NCAA is expected to announce its public recognition awards for academic progress (APR) Wednesday. One JSU women's team is expected to be among those cited. The complete APR report, complete with penalties, is expected out June 11. JSU officials, while not commenting specifically on their APR status, said they expect a positive report.

FORTUNE -- Caroline Hirsch says she reads the credits for lots of films and TV comedies. Usually, she sees the names of people who crossed paths with her at her club.
Hirsch owns a New York stand-up comedy club called Caroline's, which she co-founded back in in 1982. It started as a small outfit, featuring acts like Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld when they were first starting out. In the 30 years since the club launched, Caroline's has moved locations but has kept its status as a talent magnet. These days, Hirsch is making good use of her many connections to put on the New York Comedy Festival -- a project she started in 2004. This year it'll run from November 7-11 and pull over 200 comedians.
Hirsch spoke with Fortune about how she built a classy joint in the gritty underbelly of the '80s New York comedy scene, and the feeling she gets when she knows someone's act is about to pop.
An edited transcript is below.
Fortune: Was it difficult to crack into the old boy's club of comedy when you started Caroline's all those years ago?
Caroline Hirsch: I might have been very naive about it, but I knew what I wanted to do. I was taking someone like Jay Leno and presenting him for a good hour of his act. That was a new format that we created -- it was much longer. Jay had been around as a sort of opening act and so had Jerry Seinfeld, but there wasn't a place in New York for them to represent themselves like that. And that was the origins of Caroline's.

Let's just say we're relieved that an oversight committee for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge decided to delay the opening of the bridge's new span by several months.
It was the right call.
The bridge originally had been scheduled to open on Labor Day. Now, bridge officials are saying a decision on when the bridge will be opened will be made in December.
The extra time will give engineers a chance to retrofit 32 giant bolts that support the bridge's seismic safety equipment. The bolts cracked when tightened in March. It was up to newspapers including The Sacramento Bee to let the public know of the defects.
The delay is hardly a perfect solution. It means the 270,000 motorists who traverse the bridge each day must continue to rely on an old span of the Bay Bridge that is vulnerable to earthquakes. Many of those motorists come from the Modesto area.
Still, it's better than rushing ahead. Before the new span opens, the public must have full confidence that engineers have addressed any and all safety concerns.
Unfortunately, revelations about shoddy Caltrans inspections will make that challenging. The California Department of Transportation consistently has tried to cover up problems rather than address them.
The Toll Bridge Program Oversight Committee has given itself time to make certain the bolts and other aspects of the $6.4 billion span are safe.
If the committee and other construction officials truly want us to believe the bridge is being made fully and completely safe, a good first step would be identifying what went wrong in the inspection process and holding those responsible accountable.
It's not enough to say, "we'll fix it." The only way we'll be certain that those responsible will have nothing to do with the bridge is to make certain that they'll have nothing more to do with it.

The others were missing the lock nuts, which I just got from the store. They were easy to assemble, look great and have wide comfy seats that look great in the breakfast room.

The Bacon Bracket Rules Us All
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
The culinary creator who brought us the God-like Bacon Lombardi Trophy is back again with another marriage of bacon and sports masterpiece: The Bacon Bracket. As you can see in the lead image, the name provides us a perfect description of the bacon-y goodness in Ben Krout's latest development. For this creation, it looks like Krout made liberal use of what looks like a Cheez Whiz substance to create the bracket look.
The teams are represented by strips of bacon, naturally.
One hopes the losing team's bacon piece gets eaten as a reminder that, while failure might suck, it can taste pretty damn good when there's some bacon to go along with it.
H/t to The Shiver for the heads up.
Oh, and speaking of bacon, today's the last full day to join IF's Bacon Explosion Bracket Challenge (PW: letmein) over at Yahoo's Tournament Pick'em thingee. Don't miss out on your chance to win over four pounds of pork goodness.

3 reasons LA is getting crushed by rising gasoline prices
FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP/Getty Images
A man pumps gas into his vehicle at a gas station in Monterey Park, Los Angeles County. Gas prices have dipped somewhat, but was the run-up due to market manipulations?
Los Angelenos have been suffering at the gas pump over the past week. Prices spiked by more than 50 cents, with the average cost of a gallon of regular zooming closer to $5 than $4. Following a fire at Chevron's Richmond refinery in August, L.A. drivers had already gotten used to a new normal, with gas stuck above $4. But last week, in some parts of the area, gas stations were posting prices closer to $6.
In response, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) fired off her second letter to the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, insisting that the dramatic price increase couldn't be blamed on market forces — a basic imbalance of supply and demand — and was instead due to Tesoro, a major supplier of California's unique blend of gas, getting caught in a "short squeeze" that placed the company at the mercy of traders who were more than willing to use a 97-cent-per-gallon hike in the wholesale gas market to victimize consumers.

Darn, this doesn't work for me. I've seen many other suggestions (clear cache, reduce number of cached file, etc.) in other posts - all seem to work for some people but i haven't found one that works every time for me except to logoff the administrator TWICE - this is foolproof but is a real pain to do every time you want to preview your file.
Any updates on this? I'm now using DW CS5 and it's still happening (CF8). I have to click "Clear Template Cache Now" within CF Admin 2-3 times just to save the CSS file so that I can preview it (not very productive). I've also checked that "Save Class Files" is NOT checked and all other option (under Server Settings - Caching) are also unchecked.
I'm convinced it's DW locking the files and not CF as I can made changes to the CSS file and save them in NotePad or Eclipse without a problem - BUT I like to use DW.
Okay, so now a problem that was originally noted in 2006 is still plaguing us in 2012. I have tried all the fixes recommended and still cannot get it to work. I want to use Dreamweaver for my development efforts but will switch to Eclipse if I can't find a solution. I have changed all the settings in my ColdFusion administrator and even deleted the caches but still cannot edit a css file in Dreamweaver. What is up with this issue?
