How Will iPhone 5 Affect Your Driving?
This topic may not have have anything to do with car detailing, but if you love your car enough to get it detailed, you must also spend a significant amount of time driving around in it. It's the hottest topic right now and it's a relevant one for everyone who uses a cell phone, more specifically, an iPhone.
As some of you may know, iPhone recently released their new iPhone 5 with iOS6 technology. You may not realize it now, but this is going to alter the way you drive while utilizing your smartphone. Here's why:
1.) Bye Bye Google Maps:
Apple plans to kill off Google Maps and replace it with Apple Maps. You'll still be able to use Google Maps but not by default, you'll need to download the app from iTunes and manually enter in addresses. However, Apple plans to incorporate apps like Waze, Tom Tom, and Yelp into their Apple Map program.
2.) Do Not Disturb:
The new iPhone 5 will include a safety feature called Do Not Disturb. The iOS6 technology will allow for the phone's accelerometer to determine when the device and (it's owner) are moving at certain speeds. When the speeds are reached, the phone will automatically slip into Do Not Disturb mode which will silence alerts and keep the phone's screen black.
As much as we love this app, we're not too thrilled about what it will do to passengers.
3.) Up-Side Down:
We agree that the most frustrating change of all is the fact that Apple has decided to move the headphone jack to the bottom of the phone. This could be a real annoyance to those of you who plug the phone into a car stereo via Auxiliary cord. We have a feeling the new iPhone will be spending a lot of time upside down with this new feature. But you could always invest more money in buying a dock to attach to your dashboard. Who doesn't want more clutter in their car?
We want to know what you think about the new iPhone and if you're concerned about how it will affect your daily driving and cell use. Let us know by leaving us comments.

Cars Need Bras Too
North West Auto Detail up in Oregon does a great job of putting together time lapse videos that show different options of auto detail services. This particular video shows the process of applying Clear Bra to a Ferrari Scuderia. Clear Bra is a thermoplastic urethane film applied to a car to protect from rocks, bugs, and debris that can damage the paint on your car. In simpler words, it serves the purpose of a screen protector on your cell phone.
Clear Bra serves as a huge shield against small debris your car will encounter every day, but it won't prevent the damage caused by larger rocks, hits or bumps from another item. It also protects the aesthetics and value of your car because if you ever decide to remove the film, the paint underneath it will still be in factory condition. But this is only the case if the clear bra has remained unbreached.
Would you ever want to put a Clear Bra on your car?

Are Car Detailers Trained?
Dropping off your car to a random stranger with the expectations that when you're handed back the car, it will look great, may seem like a thoughtless act to you, but if you stop and think about it, who are you really handing your car over to?
Some auto detail businesses don't take the time to train their professionals or employees and that results in accidents, mistakes, and poor quality auto detailing. However this is not the case for our professionals at Lake Havasu Auto Detail. Be it a boat, RV, or car, our professionals have gone through an extensive amount of training to learn the art that is Auto Detailing. The training provided includes details such as the correct amount of water pressure for your car, detailing the interior and exterior, attention to tires, and how to use clays, waxes, and all other car cleaning products.
Next time you leave your car with us, be confident in the fact that our experts know what they're doing. If you're still a little unsure, let us show you how good of a job we can do, you won't be disappointed.

Bullied Teen Gets a Brand New Ride
Jordan Addison, a college student in Roanoke, Virginia had his car vandalized on 4 different occasions, including times when he had his car parked outside of his Virginia home and on campus. When Addison totaled up the cost to repair the damage, the cost was around $2,500, a price Addison stated was well out of his range, and saying "for a college student that's a lot of money."
Luckily, Jordan's story quickly got the ears of the press, and managed to get to the manager of a local auto shop. When the manager of the shop, Richard Henegar Jr. saw the damage, he was quick to respond, saying, "Once I saw the vandalism that was done to it I said that's uncalled for we're gonna fix your car that's the least we can do." Henegar enlisted the help of 10 other auto specialist shops in the area to not only fix Jordan's car, but give it a substantial upgrade, giving the car a paint job, tinted windows, new tires and rims, a subwoofer, and a brand new security system. An estimated value of about $10,000.
When the car was given back to Addison, he was speechless, only muttering, "It looks great. It hasn't looked that great the entire time I've had it." Catch Jordan's reaction @yahoo.com.
Lake Havasu Auto Detail applauses the efforts made to fix the car of this young student.
If you're in the need of a car transformation, whether it be tinted windows, detailing, new rims and wheels, etc. Lake Havasu Auto Detail is here to cater to you car's needs.
Library On Wheels
Have you ever seen a library on wheels? The people of Argentina certainly have. Car artist Raul Lemesoff has built a mobile library from a welded frame sitting atop and 1979 Ford Falcon. He drives around the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina, pulling over for anyone who has an interest in books. He doesn't sell the books, he gives them away. Pedestrians and motorcyclists have even taken books right off the car while Raul is stopped at a light. Raul has loaded his car with 900+ books, all of which he gets from private donations. He calls his car the Weapon of Mass Instruction, his goal is to, "contribute to peace and understanding of people through literacy." Raul makes sure to drive his tank through Argentina's rural area, that way he bring his message and books to children who are less likely to go to school or have access to books. He is embarking on a journey to Bolivia and Peru next.
Raul is doing quite a remarkable thing, if he were to bring his tank into our Lake Havasu Auto Detail location, we would definitely be faced with a challenge but, no challenge is too great for our staff here at the shop. We can handle any dirty or damaged car that needs a detailing.

Rolls-Royce Loves Legos Too
Rolls-Royce, who also produces airplane engines, unveiled the newest version of its Trent 1000 recently. Although the engine doesn't exactly produce any thrust, it's a fairly accurate, half-scale model of the real engine, with the exception that it's made entirely of Legos - 152,455 of them. The Lego engine weighs 675 pounds and features a fan with a diameter of almost 5 feet. The real engine weighs a whopping 12,710 pounds and has a fan diameter of just over 9 feet.
The Lego version of the engine shows the inside of the engine, complete with the complex fan blades that are located in the front to produce thrust. The compressor blades and a combustion section can also be seen, made out of plastic brick detail.
The engine was built to inspire a younger generation. Rolls-Royce Chief Scientific Officer, Paul Stein, said, "We are very pleased some of our own graduates and apprentices have contributed to building it, ensuring it is as realistic as possible." He added, "We hope that this representation of our technology will help to enthuse and inspire the potential scientists and engineers of the future about the career opportunities they could pursue."
Rolls-Royce has definitely invested a lot of money and time to this project, and it's definitely a great way to inspire young ones. The project took a team of four people eight weeks to complete the full engine.
We've certainly had our share of Rolls-Royces come through our detailing shop, and each one boasts something beautiful. If Rolls-Royce brought us its engine for a detailing, we'd be a little baffled but no project is too big for us here at Lake Havasu Mobile Detail.
We Now Detail Spaceships
Right now, the hype is all about Electric cars. They use a minimal amount of gas and reduce noise pollution. While the idea of getting rid of all those annoying, noisy cars, and replacing them with electric cars might seem nice, these electric cars are now posing a problem too. Blind people heavily rely on the noise of cars to be able to navigate their way through streets, if you take away the noise, you take away the safety blind people have. They would no longer be able to leave their homes alone.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has mandated that car producers add an alert sound to the electric car, so that it is loud enough to be heard by pedestrians, but still quiet enough to be driven and enjoyed. While the government can't mandate a standard on what that sound should be, car companies, such as Ford, have turned to their customers to vote on a sound.
A few samples have been released by Ford and are available for listening on YouTube.
You should be warned though, these samples sound like a spaceship more than they do a car. If you happen to purchase one of the new Ford Focus cars, with the spaceship sound, don't be afraid to bring it in for a detail, if we can detail cars, and motorcyles, we could detail your spaceship car.
You can find the test sounds @fastcoexist.com. This is our favorite sound:

New Saftely Rule to Follow
Yahoo! recently published an article addressing multiple lessons learned while in driving school. One of them called our attention, not because people really follow it because they learned it in driver's ed, but because it really could ensure your safety and save your face (literally).
When we were all learning how to drive, we were taught to hold the steering wheel at 10 and 2. Now, I've had instances where I'm fiddling around with something in my car while holding the steering wheel at 12 (top of the steering wheel). The Yahoo! article tells readers about a cop who was once doing the same, crashed, and had his hand flung back by the force of the airbag - right into his face. The officer broke all of his front teeth with his own hand. The new safe position to drive is 9 and 3 or even 8 and 4, and hand over hand turning is out as well. It can be very dangerous if you get caught up in an accident. When you're driving below 14mph, put your hands wherever you want, but going faster than 14mph is fast enough to deploy an airbag.
If you happen to get into an accident and your car is banged up enough to pay money to fix (we're not talking totalled here) bring into Lake Havasu Auto Detail and we'll make it look brand new.

Metallica's love for Classic cars
For those of you that keep track of heavy metal and the car scene you probably know that Metallica lead singer James Hetfield and guitarist Kirk Hammett are car guys. In the upcoming Orion music festival to celebrate their love for cars they will have a motorcycle and car show. According to Hemming's classic car the show is free. Hemmings reports the following:according to Hetfield, "so everybody can get a taste of the automobile passion and obsession that I have. The idea is for a Metallica fan to come in and experience stuff they wouldn't normally see if they wouldn't normally go to a car show." Awards will be given for the best custom, hot rod, muscle car and custom motorcycle at the show, and selected participants will receive two two-day general admission passes to the festival.
The festival takes place June 23 and 24 at Bader Field in Atlantic City, New Jersey, but the deadline for applications is May 15. For applications and for more information, visit Orionmusicandmore.com. It's probably a little too far to drive your classic car across the country but it would be a good excuse to jump on a coast to coast flight, sounds like fun. For all your Mobile classic car needs call Nathan at Havasu Detail 928-231-6678
What comes first Polish or Wax?
During the car cleaning process we often think that it's the natural progression to Wash, Wax and then Polish. Could that be right?
What's your guess? Well if you thought that it should be Wash, Polish and then Wax - You're right! The logic behind this is actually quite simple. Washing the car first is a no-brainer, you need to get rid of the dirt before you can actually do anything to the paint job. The reason for Polishing next is because polishing's function is to bring out the shine in the car. The polishing step is where you get the show car shine which we all aim for. Waxing serves as a protective coat on your paint. Think of waxing as sealing the previous 2 steps. So if you answered Wash, Polish then Wax you were right but if you wanted to save time and have a professional apply a new car shine to your car we're always here to help. Call us at (562) 438-1572 to schedule an appointment, please ask for Mitch and remember that we're always here to help at Long Beach Auto Detail.

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
By Eric Russell firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
While Maine Democrats were busy Tuesday winning back the House and Senate majorities they lost in 2010, the party's longest-serving lawmaker found himself in an unfamiliar role: Election Day loser.
Democrat John Martin
Throughout his 46-year political career, Democrat John Martin of Eagle Lake had won every time he was on the ballot.
Until Tuesday.
"That happens when you run for office," Martin, 71, said Wednesday. "I can't say I'm happy, but I always said I didn't believe in term limits. When the voters want to get rid of me, they can."
This year, voters in Aroostook County's sprawling House District 1 chose a small-business owner and political neophyte, Allen "Mike" Nadeau, to replace Martin. The vote was 2,142 to 1,854.
Nadeau said Wednesday that he's a fiscal and social conservative but doesn't follow the Republican Party's platform.
Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster, who recruited Nadeau to run against Martin, said the vote had less to do with Martin and more to do with Nadeau.
"Under normal circumstances, if you recruit the right candidate, you win," Webster said. "Everyone said (Nadeau) would be a perfect candidate."
That was a change from some past elections, when Republicans didn't even bother running a candidate against Martin.
Democrat Emily Cain of Orono, the outgoing House minority leader who won a Senate seat Tuesday, said it became clear in the last few weeks that Republicans were determined to oust Martin this year.
"His loss is proof that Republicans ran on politics of personal destruction," she said.
While Republicans were targeting specific incumbents like Martin, Democrats were winning big across the board, Cain said.
Martin said that's the hardest part of his loss: He won't get to be in the majority again.
"I have some relatives who will say, 'Now you can do your own stuff rather than focus on others,' he said. "But I've spent my career helping people."
Martin's reign as speaker of the House from 1975 to 1994 is the stuff of legend. It was largely because of his power that Maine enacted legislative term limits.
He found a way around those limits by jumping to the Senate for four terms and then, when his time there was done, jumping back to the House. Now many lawmakers do the same thing to stay in politics.
While Martin didn't have the title of a legislative leader in recent years, he remained the Democrat most revered by members of his party and reviled by opponents. And even Republicans respected Martin for his unmatched knowledge of parliamentary procedure.
Rep. Kenneth Fredette, a Republican from Newport who won re-election Tuesday, sought out Martin when he was a freshman lawmaker two years ago. They served on the powerful Appropriations Committee together.
"He was willing to teach young legislators about the process, regardless of party," Fredette said. "But there were times when John got his ire up and could be vocal. ... That was just his style."
Martin is a throwback politician. He's not shy about getting into the mud, or slinging it. His career is filled with stories -- some substantiated, some folklore -- of political wrangling.
He once demoted a co-chairman of the Legislature's Taxation Committee in the middle of a session as political payback. One of his campaign aides in the 1990s was convicted of ballot tampering, but even that didn't derail Martin's career.
Despite his history of controversy, Martin was considered a bridge builder. He had victories, notably in passing legislation that created the Land Use Regulation Commission and in ensuring that House committee members had the same power as their Senate counterparts.
Kenneth Palmer, a political scientist at the University of Maine, said Martin's legislative record is unrivaled in state history.

Parenting perspectives: Suddenly, I see that I've 'arrived'My pastor likes to tease people during Sunday services. It's his thing. I usually describe him to others as a spiritual adviser and standup comedian.
By: Kathy Tofflemire, INFORUM
My pastor likes to tease people during Sunday services. It's his thing. I usually describe him to others as a spiritual adviser and standup comedian.
He never preaches from the pulpit. He likes to walk back and forth in front of the congregation. He always uses visual aids on the screens in the sanctuary. Sometimes he uses props. But he never uses notes.
I always sit in the second row, and since people rarely sit in the first row, I'm directly in the line of fire, so to speak.
On a particular Sunday last month, he was on a roll, and I was the target.
During the "children's moment," he reminded my younger grandson about how he and his brother are usually the "stars" of my occasional column, in which, he points out, I admit to the poor job I did raising my daughter. She laughed at that. I think.
I'm the only member of the congregation who works at The Forum, so he likes to "acknowledge" me whenever he has an opinion on the content, which, of course, included the new SheSays section. He doesn't like the name because he is the one in his family who reads the food columns.
One doesn't have to attend many Sundays to realize food is of great interest to him. He thinks anything is better with bacon. In fact, he thinks if we again prepare sandwiches during a flood fight, we should add it to the ham/turkey and cheese.
His idea of heaven is Diet Coke and Snickers candy bars, and perhaps a rhubarb pie. Every Halloween and Easter, he tries to convince the children to bring any Snickers they receive to their pastor for "proper disposal."
Don't get me wrong. There are serious, Christian messages in his sermons. I often feel as if he is talking directly to me. He encourages us to go "beyond the stained-glass windows" and "be the church" by loving God and loving neighbor.
When something in the sermon nearly brings me to tears, he will lighten the mood with his self-deprecating brand of humor.
He is absolutely like no other minister I've ever known, and I and my family adore him.
I've listened to him tease his wife, his children and other members of the congregation in the years I've been a church member. He targets various people and occupations in particular, and Bison fans in general. (He graduated from a rival university in another state.)
I've always felt that if he teased you, you had advanced to some special place – an inner circle, if you will. That recent Sunday, I really "arrived."
As he talked about my column and its subjects, he noted that I couldn't (shouldn't) write about my pastor. That was a challenge I couldn't ignore.
Pastor R., this one's for you.

Comments On Jan 14, 2013:After 63,000 miles I decided to upgrade the front suspension. I have since put on 2,000 miles. The improvement in the forks is amazing, small to medium washboard, ruts and ridges virtually disappear. Feels much like the European bikes, however the larger pot holes and bumps are still very noticeable due to limited suspension travel (I believe). I would recommend this upgrade to anyone who rides dirt and gravel roads.

Comments On Apr 29, 2012:I'm 240 lbs and the stock shock on the KLR 650 was garbage. This new progressive spring is nice and firm. Holds perfectly in tight corners and stabilizes the bike so much. It was a little pricey but its well worth it in the end. It completely transforms your KLR into a bike you will not be able to stop riding. Great Dual Purpose shock.

Town Creek Indian Mound (31 MG 2)[2] is a prehistoric Native American archaeological site located near Mount Gilead, Montgomery County, North Carolina, in the United States.[3] The site, whose main features are a platform mound with a surrounding village and palisade, was built by the Pee Dee, a South Appalachian Mississippian culture people (a regional variation of the Mississippian culture)[4] that developed in the region as early as 980 CE[5] and thrived in the Pee Dee River region of North and South Carolina during the Pre-Columbian era. The Town Creek site was occupied from about 1150—1400 CE.[4] The Pee Dee were part of a larger complex society known for building earthwork mounds for spiritual and political purposes. They also participated in a widespread network of trading that stretched from Georgia through South Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and as well as the mountain and Piedmont regions of North Carolina. The Town Creek site is not large by Mississippian standards. The mound was built over the remains of an earlier rectangular shaped earth lodge. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark on October 15, 1966 as reference number 66000594.[1] The site is the only national historic landmark in North Carolina that commemorates American Indian heritage.
The Pee Dee cultural group built their mound on a low bluff at the confluence of Town Creek and the Little River. The Town Creek site was a major center of Pee Dee habitation, trade, and religion.[3] Discussions regarding trade among the local clans were held at Town Creek. Many of the highest-ranking members of the tribe lived, died, and were buried at Town Creek. The site in Montgomery County was the location of important religious ceremonies and tribal feasts. The clans in the surrounding area would gather at Town Creek for periodic gatherings known as "busks". During a busk, the temple, homes, and grounds of the village were cleaned and repaired as needed. Debts and grievances were resolved. Ritual purification ceremonies took place at Town Creek Indian Mound. The ceremonies included fasting, bathing, the ingestion of cathartic medicine, and ritual scratching of the skin with the teeth of the garfish.[3] The busk gathering concluded with a celebration known as a poskito, in which the neighboring tribes feasted on new corn. The clans would return to their villages with embers from the sacred fire to stoke their hearths. Scholars believe that the sharing of the fire symbolized unity among the Pee Dee.
Archaeologic excavation began at Town Creek in 1927 on an amateur basis before professional archaeologists took over in 1937 during the Great Depression. The excavations continued regularly until 1987.[6] In the years prior to 1927, local residents had known the site to be a place to collect Indian arrowheads and other relics. With little knowledge of archaeological practices, they likely caused some permanent damage to the site. The amateur group used a scraper pulled by a mule to uncover artifacts, including animal and human bones, and shards of pottery. Today excavations continue on a limited basis.
The land was owned by L. D. Frutchey. He allowed exploratory work to begin in 1937 as part of the work of the Works Progress Administration of the President Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. Frutchey donated the mound and about an acre of surrounding land to the state of North Carolina, and it was called Frutchey State Park for several years.[6] The name was changed to Town Creek in the 1940s and has been administered by the State Park Division of North Carolina. Town Creek was the first state historic site to undergo development.
The Pee Dee left no written record, meaning that archaeology was vital in uncovering their history. Dr. Joffre Coe of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill was the lead archaeologist at Town Creek beginning in 1937. Dr. Coe and his team uncovered various artifacts and burial vaults, and also found the remains of the defensive palisade that once surrounded Town Creek Indian Mound. Evidence suggests this palisade was rebuilt at least five times. Further excavations revealed that the mound, which had not been destroyed over the years despite widespread farming in the area, was the site of three separate structures.[3] The earliest structure at the Town Creek site was a rectangular earth lodge that collapsed with age. The second structure was built atop the fallen lodge; it was a temple. After the temple burned, the Pee Dee built yet another structure on the same spot. This building had an eastward facing ramp that provided access to the surrounding plaza.
The plaza served as the location for the ceremonies and other public meetings. The archaeologists discovered the remains of several support buildings in the vicinity of the plaza, including a burial and mortuary house. It is believed that the burial house was significant for a specific clan. The mound, burial, mortuary houses and many family homes were surrounded by a protective stockade. The remains of two gates and guard towers have been discovered on the north and south ends of the palisade, with archaeological evidence pointing to the construction and destruction of at least five protective walls.
A total of 563 burials that are thought to be of Pee Dee tribe members have been found at Town Creek Indian Mound. Many of the burial sites appear to have been fairly simple and common, with the bodies casually placed in the graves.[7] Some were found buried with their bodies fully extended, while others may have been re-buried in a bundle of bones. The remains of young children and infants have been found tightly wrapped in deerskins in large pottery vessels - called burial urns.[5]
Dr. Coe served as the lead archaeologist for Town Creek Indian Mound for over 50 years.[8] His long-lasting and extensive work at Town Creek has led to a tremendous amount of understanding about the past of Town Creek. Traditionally, historic excavations had taken place over a much shorter period of time with the artifacts being removed to a distant research facility. Dr. Coe established his center of operations at Town Creek for over 50 years, allowing him to establish one consistent plan of research. The constant and consistent research that took place at Town Creek enabled Dr. Coe and his team gain a high level of understanding of the mound and the Pee Dee who lived at Town Creek.[8]
Several facilities are open to the public at Town Creek Indian Mound. The reconstructed ceremonial center includes the mound with a temple, a minor temple and the mortuary.
The visitor center houses interpretive exhibits, a gift shop, and audiovisual programs. Town Creek Indian Mound has several trails and outdoor monuments. The visitor center, minor temple, and mortuary are handicapped accessible. Fourteen picnic tables are located on the grounds.[9]
Group tours are given with advance scheduling. Groups are led through some hands-on activities. Various special events held throughout the year focus on the lifestyle of the Pee Dee. Self-guided tours of the rebuilt structures and mound occur during normal operational hours, and admission to Town Creek Indian Mound is free.[9]

Rescue crews searched for a homeless man in Reno who reportedly fell into the Truckee River off a limb Sunday night. They had no confirmed reports of any injuries or serious property damage.
Businesses owners had braced for the worst and piled hundreds of sand bags along the Truckee River in anticipation of flooding, especially in the industrial areas of east Reno and Sparks that were hardest hit by 1997 flood.
"We were lucky," Sparks Assistant City Manager Steve Driscoll said.
"We dodged a bullet," added Gary Barbato, a National Weather Service hydrologist in Reno.
The danger passed Sunday afternoon as the colder weather brought the snow level down in the mountains and river flows peaked well below flood level in east Sparks.
"Just when we were expecting the heaviest rain, it turned to snow," Squaw Valley Fire Chief Peter Bansen said.
"It was wet and heavy, but it stuck together and glued to the mountain and stayed there, rather than flowing into the river. I think that really helped a lot."
As a result, residents and businesses were taking down the walls of sandbags and most ski resorts around Lake Tahoe and the Sierra were celebrating 3.5 feet of new snow over a five-day period.
"You just never know how these storms are going to play out," said Andy Chapman, chief marketing officer for the North Lake Tahoe Chamber/CVB/Resort Association. "But Mother Nature cooperated and we've got new snow on the mountains."
In Reno, city officials said the man that may have been swept away in the Truckee River on Sunday was a 51-year-old homeless man who had been camping in the area with another homeless man.
The second man identified the missing man as William Paul Clark. He told authorities Clark was climbing a tree when the limb broke and he fell into the cold, rushing water after 6 p.m. Sunday, city officials said in a statement Monday.
Reno Fire Department officials resumed a search in the area on Monday while the Sparks Fire Department searched the river east of there and Washoe County officials searched even further east near Lockwood.

Relay for Life seeking teams Groups of people from all over the Vermillion area are getting ready to put on their walking shoes to step out in the fight against cancer. Whether they are employee groups, families, church youth groups, sororities and fraternities, professional organizations, or neighbors � they are all creating teams to walk in the DakotaDome Relay for Life 2000.
Some have been touched personally by cancer. They may be cancer survivors themselves or have loved ones who have won or lost in the battle against cancer. Others are concerned about building awareness of cancer in our community. All are committed to raising much-needed funds to aid in research and services in the community.
Many teams have already formed for the Feb. 26 event; however, more teams are needed. It's simple to get involved.
Relay teams are groups of up to 15 people who commit to taking turns walking or running around the DakotaDome track between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 26. Teams are encouraged to set up "campsites" � gathering places for team members to visit, play games, eat, and have fun! Lunch and snacks will be provided to participants and a variety of entertainment and activities will be going on throughout the day. Fun and fundraising go hand in hand for relay participants.
Teams help raise funds by paying on initial team fee of $150 and by individual team member's fundraising efforts. Together with contributions from event partners and sponsors and sales of luminaries, these funds will help the Clay County American Cancer Society meet their $20,000 goal for the 2000 Relay. Of the money raised, 40 percent will go toward research. The remaining 60 percent will be used in Vermillion and the surrounding area for services to cancer patients, support groups, and educational outreach.
"Nobody asks why they should get involved in the Relay for Life," says Relay Team Recruitment Chairperson Elaine Larson. "People see this as a chance to make a difference. And we want to make it easy for them to accomplish it. We'll answer their questions, provide them with team packets, and be their 'cheerleaders' as they put together their teams." For Larson, getting involved with the relay is a way to honor her mother, a cancer survivor who has walked in Relay for Life events for seven years. "The fact that she's healthy and showing her thankfulness by walking demonstrates how important this effort is."
Business partners to date are Rasmussen Motors, Vermillion Civic Council, Mount Trucks, Norwest Bank, Clay County Abstract & Title Company, Vermillion Fertilizer Company, and the Vermillion Medical Clinic.
To find out more about putting together a relay team or joining an existing team, contact Elaine Larson at 624-2437, Wess Pravecek at 624-5352 or Janet Mount at 624-9373.

Winner: CommVault Systems Galaxy

Honorable Mention: Ultrabac Software UltraBac
Let's say you had all the money in the world and had to pick the best
backup software. What would it be? For me, it's CommVault's Galaxy. My
reasons are simple: The interface is easy to work with, and the support
and training teams behind the product are first rate. Also, I like Galaxy's
approach to enterprise storage: It views backup data logically instead
of physically. This means that to do a restore, I just have to tell Galaxy
the time to bring a system back to. Galaxy figures out the media that's
You start, quite simply, with a system that manages all your other systems,
called the CommServe. The CommServe keeps track of your MediaAgents (which
are the systems that control your standalone drives, RAID arrays, libraries
and so on). In addition, you install agents (called iDataAgents) on all
the servers you need to manage. So, your file server would get a File
Server iDA, while your Exchange server might get an iDA for the database
backup or, if you want a more granular approach, an iDA for individual
mailbox backups. Keep in mind that the mailbox iDA takes quite a bit longer
to accomplish than its database counterpart, but it allows single-message
restores for those times when the senior partner calls and says, "I need
a message I deleted three weeks ago. Your job depends on it!" All of these
portions of the architecture (the CommServe, MediaAgents and iDataAgents)
make up what's been termed the CommCell. This entire structure can be
managed through a single console, which can run through a Java-enabled
Web browser or through an MMC console.
Galaxy integrates well with the key players in the SAN/NAS industry such
as Brocade, EMC, Compaq and Network Appliance. LAN-free backups (for both
SAN and NAS environments) and server-free and serverless backup are available
within a SAN environment.
$495 (Single Server Edition) and $1,095 (Enterprise
UltraBac Software, 425-644-6000
But there's another mid-level data management software you may decide
to ponder. UltraBac is easy to install, configure and manage. It offers
a subset of comparable features, like a SQL agent and an Exchange 5.5/2000
agents (although it doesn't provide the same level of abilities as high-end
enterprise solutions). UltraBac does support some cool things like active
cluster backups. It also has a new FTP device that allows an administrator
to perform backup and restore operations to any FTP server connected to
the Internet by simply entering the FTP server's address as the backup
path. UltraBac then "pushes" a compressed data stream to the designated
FTP server. This new feature allows organizations easily to store data
offsite or centralize data from remote-site backups.

Amazine site Thanks, webmaster.
This product rocks! We have been doing LAN-free backups and restores with Galaxy and our Xiotech Magnitude for over a year. Great support too.
Has no interface for online Sybase backups using BMC's SQL-Backtrack therefore this is not a solution for our enterprise.
It's nice to see a reviewer not seduced by Veritas and their ghastly Backup Exec program, which I'm saddled with.
Galaxy has saved our bacon a number of times just in the past two months we've owned it. We were running two other well-known backup products in our heterogenous environment and continued to have failed backups. After the Galaxy install we found our backup times were about the same as before, but our restore times were 20-40% faster than before. Calls to support were answered quickly and they even sent a developer out to fix a particularly vexing issue early on.
I could not agree more. We have been running Galaxy for over 14 months, and love its easy to use interface and policy-based approach. During our pilot, we were up and running in 1 1/2 hours! Some of the other products took days before they were able to integrate with our SAN.

This report presents comprehensive and up-to-date information and data on marine cold-water coral reefs from around the world. Cold Water Coral Reefs: Out of Sight - No Longer Out of Mind aims to provide policy makers with the information required to take concerted action in the conservation, protection and sustainable management of these beautiful, largely unexplored and fragile coral reefs.
In 2008, the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted scientific criteria for identifying ecologically or biologically significant marine areas in need of protection on the open oceans and deep seas.
While much scientific discovery lies ahead, available information and current and emerging methodologies already allow us to begin identifying oceanic features that are likely of particular ecological or biological importance.
The World's oceans play a crucial role for life on the planet. Healthy seas and the services they provide are key to the future development of mankind. Our seas are highly dynamic, structured and complex systems. The seafloor consists of vast shelves and plains with huge mountains, canyons and trenches which dwarf similar structures on land. Ocean currents transport water masses many times larger than all rivers on Earth combined.
In this report, the locations of the most productive fishing grounds in the World - from shallow, coastal waters to the deep and high seas - are compared to projected scenarios of climate change, ocean acidification, coral bleaching, intensity of fisheries, land-based pollution, increase of invasive species infestations and growth in coastal development.Resource Type: Reports
Hotspot Ecosystem Research on the Margins of European Seas (HERMES) was one of the 40 most successful projects under the EU's 6th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. Following completion of the project in March 2009, The HERMES Story is published jointly by HERMES and UNEP to inform policy and decision makers from around the world about the lessons learned and the amazing new insights into deep-sea biodiversity, structure, function and dynamics discovered under HERMES. The HERMES Story highlights the need for concerted action to protect the deep sea against the increasing pressures, threats and impacts from human activities and climate change, and provides inspiration for the development of similar deep-sea research projects in other regions.Resource Type: Reports
The areas of the ocean that lie beyond national jurisdiction limits, also called the high seas, are vulnerable to human activities and currently underrepresented when compared to terrestrial and nearshore1 marine environments under protection. Thus, there is a growing movement among the conservation community to increase measures, such as marine protected areas, that can ensure protection of the largely undiscovered but important biodiversity of the high seas.Resource Type: Reports
The ability of coral reefs to survive in a globally-warming world may crucially depend on the levels of pollution to which they are exposed, new findings indicate.
Scientists studying reefs that were bleached in the late 1990s by high surface sea temperatures have found a link between recovery rates and the levels of contamination entering coastal waters from developments on the land.Resource Type: Reports
The deep sea is the oldest and largest biome on Earth, yet we have little knowledge of the ecosystems and processes in these dark, hidden depths. Only in the last two decades have new technologies enabled scientists to start exploring this last frontier – and their discoveries are fascinating but alarming: the deep sea is teeming with life but is already showing clear signs of anthropogenic impacts despite its remoteness. Many vulnerable deep-sea habitats and communities are being destroyed by fishing and are under threat from increasing exploitation of their mineral and living resources.Resource Type: Reports
South East Asia contains nearly 100,000 km2 of coral reefs, almost 34% of the world total. With over 600 of the almost 800 reef-building coral species, these reefs have the highest levels of marine biodiversity on earth. Heavy reliance on marine resources across South East Asia has resulted in the overexploitation and degradation of many coral reefs. An estimated 88% of them are threatened by human activity.Resource Type: Reports
Coastal and freshwater ecosystems are deteriorating in many areas and at a faster rate than any other ecosystem. Such changes are caused by intertwined factors, making it difficult to identify the problems early on. While progress in integrating these various factors in managing water and ecosystems has been made in some places, the majority of the world and its inhabitants increasingly suffers from a lack of priority given to environmental protection.Resource Type: Reports
Coral reefs are an integral part of the Caribbean fabric, threading along thousands of kilometres of coastline. Unfortunately, these valuable ecosystems are degrading rapidly under the mounting pressure of many human activities. Understanding the nature and extent of these threats and their likely economic impacts on the future productivity of Caribbean coral reefs is of central importance to conservation and planning efforts.
The Reefs at Risk in the Carribean project was launched to help protect and restore these valuable, threatened ecosystems by providing decision-makers and the public with information and tools to manage coastal habitats more effectively.

There have also been several University of Washington grads who are participating in the Games and there have been some nice spotlights on them.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
Sorry if this has already been answered- but Gabby is being talked about as the first African-American woman to win all-around. Can someone tell me if a black woman from another country has won? Looking at the medal lists, I can't really tell, but it seems like no one has. Seems like that is a bigger deal than just being the first African-American. Or announcers scared to say 'black'?
She's the first woman of any color to win the AA. The winners have either been Russian, Romanian, Ukrainian, or Caucasian American.
She showed a lot of fight yesterday and I hope she ends up being happy with what she did because she really has a lot to be proud of.
I've noticed that Komova tends to give up on whatever isn't going well. The vault didn't go well, so she gave up. Everything else went well, so she didn't give up on those events.
That said, I watched the interviews with Aly and her parents and as much as her parents are really annoying during Aly's routines, they seem to have good heads on their shoulders and explains why she's so classy. No one cried wuzrobbed, they said there was a bit of confusion as to how the tie was broken, but seemed to accept the decision and be ready to move on to EF. Aly herself was typically stoic, said she was still proud of herself for being one of the top 4 in the world and had good words to say about Gabby and her win. And her tone of voice was exactly the same one as when she was totally excited about making the AA final
And I asked this in the AA thread but didn't get a clear answer - when are the Mag 7 on NBC? I thought it was unclear from the promo.
Seriously? They are using broadcast time from the actual Olympics to do a profile on Olympians from years past? I'd love to see an update of the Mag 7- but not during the very very limited time that I get to watch any current Olympics!!!

The January 8 shootings in Tucson that killed six and severely injured Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords drew more attention in the blogosphere than any subject in the past eight months.
From January 10-14, the tragic event received 57% of the news links on blogs, according to the New Media Index from the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. (In a clear indication of the international flavor of blogging, the last time a subject attracted more interest was May 10-14, 2010, when the UK elections generated 61% of the links.)
The shooting story was also a major event in the mainstream media last week, where it filled a whopping 57% of the newshole.

82164 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE February ) , ..... ..,, 1916
Mr. ~IANSFIELD. Mr. President,
another matter which Is or concern to
me has to do with the me-dical malpractice
crlsL,. We nil nre aware of the fact
that slowdowns have occurred In various
parts of the country because of the
exorbitant rates which doctors have to
pay, In all too many cases. and because
of the exorbitant legal tees whJch all too
many lawyers receive because or their
participation In su1ts of thJs nature.
It Is understanding that a number ol
bills have been introduced to face up to
this matter. The Senator from Wisconsin
\~ir. NELSON), for example, has proPOSed
a medical malpractice lll$Urance program
to protect insurance companJcs
from catastrophic malpractice claims
losses. Senators KENNEDY and l.NO'O'Y&
have sllJ(gested consideration of several
means or protecting physicians against
the threat o! malpractice suits, and assuring
the public ol quality health care
standards. " s. 215 proposes a voluntary progrnm
of medical injury compensation Insurance,
under whJch l.njured patients would
receive automatic compensation without
having to demonstrate negligence.
Patients would still have recourse to the
courts should they wish to pursue a malpractice
claim. There is also legislation to
establish a plan for the arbitration or
medical malpractice claims.
The problem of excessive legal expenses
has been addressed by Senator
Rom, who has proposed specll\c limitations
on the fees which may be charged
by an attomey who brings a medical
malpractice action before a Federal
court. It is my understanding that
similar legislation to that dL~cussed here
has also been introduced In the House.
This is a matter which, I think, calL
for national attention, so U1at some degree
of stability and continuity can be
achieved m this crislS situation.
I had intended to introduce legislation
co\·ering U1is matter, but because o! the
number of bills already Introduced,
which \\'ill in time be heard before the
committees to whlch they have been
referred. I have decided not to do so;
but I a..;k unanimous consent to ha\'e
printed in the RECORD nt this POint a
statement v.-hich I had Intended to n1akc,
and which will guide my conslderatlon,l.n
large part, of any bUl CO\'erlng medical
malpractice which may be reJ)orted out
of committee.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore.
Without objection, it Is so ordered.

1s or no grea.·t concern because qua!Uied buyer
who 1s turned down by one Insurer can always
find another wllllng seller without great
dU!Iculty. In a restricted market, however,
a capricious refusal to sell can become a
s!gnUlca.nt barrier to limit or restrict tho
practice of medicine by qualified Individuals."
The Increasing threat or_ being sued !or
malpractice (In 1986, 1.7 per 100, and 1D 1970
s per 100 physicians were sued) has caused
doctors to practice what hns been called "defensive
medicine." According to a Medical
Economics Malpractice Survey of 1973 many
physicians Increase the u•e of services, or
substitute more expensive ror less expen.slve
6ervlcca as a means of protection against
malpractice claims. While In some cases tho
quality of medical care Is lmpro\'ed by thl,
practice, It Is also rea ·.onable to nssume that
not only are tho lncrea.>ed costs or malpractice
Insurance passed on to pat1e11ts, but also
additional expenses result from what, In
many cases, are unnece<~sary medical procedures.
V. APPiH)ACU£S
Approa.che» to the medical malpra~llce
crisis must be directed toward; A) el!minatlon
or Iatrogenic Injuries; and B) reduced
administrative costs (a comparison of total
dollar~ required to settle claims and tho
actual amount received by claimants reveals
Ule present method to be exceptionally
-,stetul) and speedier resolution or malpra.

A. "nlero baS been au lnc.reHt-.t: ln t:du~~;,tlonal
programs to reduce Injuries, and these
programs should be encouraged. The Medlen\
MalpracUce commtsslon concluded that In~
jury prevention program~ should focus Initially
on hospitals where 74 percent or alleged
malpractice event.~ occu1·. PSRO"s represent
one means of Improving health
standards. I might add here that the PSRO
program In Montana bas been highly suCO" -
rut. It wa.s one of the first In the country
to be tully operational and serves as a model
t or tho rest or the nation. Aproxhnately two
dollars have been saved In reduced health
costs for every one dollar •pent on the program
Medicaid experu;e.; have been slgnltlcantly
lowered. Statistic" have not been complied,
but Indications are that the potential
Is great tor reduced costs to patients through
elimination o! unnece>o;ary treatment and
for a reduction In malpractice claims. The
commission also recommended review or
llccnBuro and certlficaUon standards !or
health personnel and special attention to
monitoring drug prescribing; Increasing the
number" or nurses and expanding their clinical
training; granting qualified Immunity
from suit..' to hospital committees who appropriately
suspend, revoke, or curtall prldJegcs
or physicians to practice In the hospital
In question; and empowering all state
licensing boa.rds to suspend, revoke, or curtall
medical licenses based on professional
B. One way of lmprovlug the presen~ mechanism
~ to encourage out-of-court acttlements.
Encouragement bhould be given to
organiZing screening pnnels composed or
both lawyers and phslclans who can look at
Ule facts o! a case t or both parties Involved
and decide on the merits or the cla hn. Tho
coet or resolving disputes hns been lessened
approldmt~.tely 49-60 percen t through this
approa<:h. But In atates which hnve ul!Uzed
physlclan{IQ.wyer panels, there h&ve been
only minimal reductions or oourt actions.
Another potential method or aettllng malpractice
claims Ia through a.rbltrauon. Pe.tlents
and health ce.re providers agreed to arbitration
ot any malpractice clalma by an lnlpartlal
party prior to perlormanoo or health
>;ervlces. I.Jttlc data Ia available on arbltrallon;
however, prellmlnary lndlcatlons arc
that court dockets can be reduced. Many
rases are settled before reaching arbltra.t!on;
however, the arbitration proceedings are
lengthy-and cost between 56 and 85 percent
ot the mJd-ra11gc of an action at law. To date.
these alternatives to litigation h8\•e settled
In the claimant.~· favor 1D the same rntlo a.s
do actions at law. The time 118.Ved has not

Serious consideration should be given to
encouraging no-fault medical Injury compensation
syctcms. Such a program would
eliminate m"Cdlc:\1 malpractice a.s It Is currt>

Is sub.,t!tuted for negligence. CompenRA.
tlon would be ~ontlngent upon demonstration

medical expcn•eA, Immediate or future loss or
earnings and rehabilitation. SuCh a program
would go Into et!ect only after all other forms
of co,·erage ha,·e been exhausted. Such a prolram
would likely Include:
1. All medical claims handled wlthlu the
2. Claim Initiation Is the responsibility
of the patient with the assistance or an Impartial

3. Informal claim screening could eliminate
non-meritorious claims, but findings
~-ould not be binding.

concernlng the medical malpmctlce problem,

The Guild is a charitable organisation dedicated to promoting the public understanding of one-name studies and the preservation and accessibility of the resultant information. Founded in 1979 in Britain, the Guild has members all over the world, and is widely recognised as a centre of excellence in one-name studies.
The Guild brings together those with an interest in one-name studies and other forms of surname study (such as DNA projects). Many members register a surname so as to embark on a Guild-recognised one-name study and coordinate world-wide activity in studying the surname. Only one person may register a specific surname, but membership of the Guild is open to all with an interest in surname studies, and is not restricted to those who wish to register a name.
