There's nothing more empowering than doing a kindness for others every day, and keeping it to yourself. GLWD is the perfect venue for achieving this goal.- annonymous
This donation is from the WestBeth Beautification Committee, a part of the Westbeth Artists Residents Council. We are grateful for GLWD giving wonderful meals to so many of our residents. We are also fortunate to have George Cominskie in our building. Not only does he work for you every Wednesday morning, but he also organizes a team of volunteers to deliver to our neighbors twice a week. It feels so great to bring people food and say, "God's Love we deliver". Thank you for all you do.- Westbeth Beautification Committee
Mom did so much for others, senior citizens and especially those in need.- JoAnn Peterson-Hawker
I started delivering meals with GLWD the Christmas after my son died, in 2013. I wanted a way to turn my grief into something meaningful by making what was a hard day for me, and probably a hard day for folks receiving meals, a little bit happier, warmer, and brighter. I took the love that I had for my son but couldn't share with him and shared it with other people--the people I delivered meals to. In doing so, I felt more connected to my son and to the shared humanity of those around me. Since then, I've donated cakes on my son's birthday, delivered meals on holidays when I've missed him, and given donations in his name. It helps maintain my son's memory, which I need, and benefits people who have a different kind of need. So ultimately, it's reciprocal--the best kind of giving.- Courtney
Donating in honor of Gary, my big brother's best friend from childhood, an artist/radiologist who died on April 19, 1997. I was at his side. He was loved, and missed.- Louise
I had a great time volunteering, knowing I was doing something important for those in need and I had the pleasure of working with other volunteers I met for the first time. I enjoyed their company and guidance. The time went by rather quickly and we worked fantastic together. Two of the volunteers (Michael and Paul) I met have been doing this for some time on a consistent basis. I am glad I had the chance to meet them, they are both wonderful people. It was a fun atmosphere and look forward to the next time.- NJA
I've learned about GLWD from watching FoodTV network Chef Amanda Freitag on Chopped. I've volunteered in various capacities, since my teenage years in Gouverneur Hospital (84-87) then onto the NYPD Auxiliary Police(87-2011). In November 2017, I started out as a Van assistant, then switched to helping in the kitchen. I enjoy meeting fellow volunteers. Working with Chefs Curtis and Andre. The hands on experience, I'm gaining knowledge about food safety. I especially love working with folks from all walks of life. Thank you, GLWD for affording me the opportunity to serve others.- Cheyenne
Life is full of difficult as well as accompanying celebratory moments. I have been a food prep volunteer at God's Love We Deliver for over 6 years. I honestly love the people that I share two hours with every week including those that I see and catch-up with weekly as well as those new faces who provide fresh interactions. I think of the role of food in both this "work" and in the gift that we are passing along to those in real need. I have been in NYC since the late 80s and still remember food playing an instrumental role in the early days of HIV. Several wonderful friends and I would gather in the lobby lounge of St. Vincent's Hospital, mostly on weekends, and we would bring doughnuts which we shared lovingly with family members of young men who were dying from a difficult-to-grasp disease. Many of these fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, friends had no experience in NYC and we wanted to comfort them given the unfamiliar, unique surroundings and the unforeseeable end to loved one's lives. Food was then, and can be now, a social salve to bring all of us together in difficult and celebratory moments.- Carl
I know how important your work is to to clients and for that I am forever grateful. My wife, Sherry, has been volunteering in the kitchen for over a year and for that I am also grateful to GLWD for making such an important contribution to her life.- Shelly Marks
GLWD has had a huge impact on my life. In 1994, I came to NYC and GLWD through a summer volunteer internship, at 19 years of age. I got to experience so many aspects of the organization, which I loved, like helping to produce the first AIDS service organization guide for NYC. I learned so many skills in the kitchen, that I still use today. I even got to represent GLWD volunteers in an MTV special. My favorite memory, though, was delivering meals and interacting with clients, particularly to those who were most alone, so many of them. I recall one young female client living in an SRO, whose prior days' meals had piled up, untouched, and she was extremely emaciated. She was also addicted to crack cocaine and using prostitution to survive and support her habit. I found a way to manage her meal delivery so that I could stop during my break and get her to eat with me. We became friends, and I was her only visitor in the hospital until she died shortly after her 30th birthday. The only regret she had, was that she wished she had been more honest in her life. I believe, in part, thanks to GLWD, we don't have these kinds of stories anymore. HIV transmission has decreased, the stigma is waning, and more love through nutrition is being spread to more people in need. I am still friends with and inspired by many of the staff I met there, over 20 years ago, including the amazing Pat Costello. I dream of getting involved again some day, given my passion for nutrition and neuroscience.- Sue Peters
God's Love We Deliver is my happy place! Where else can you go to do good and feel like you benefited more when you walked out?- Narda Ducheine
Four plus years of scooping, packing, cutting and scraping, of meeting wonderful people and making new friends, of making a difference. What more could you ask for? How about four more years? Love you guys.- Pinky
I first heard about God's Love while volunteering with other NYU Alumni in the kitchen, food prepping on Sunday shift. The experience was so rewarding that I became a regular. Now I volunteer at least once a week helping with meal kit assembling and plan to commit more hours in the near future. Here is the picture of our NYU group, who is already scheduled to repeat the shift in a few weeks: https://www.facebook.com/NYURAN/photos/a.542234769138590.132369.256832281012175/1228262250535835/?type=3&theater- Karinne
Being raised Italian, food has always equated love in our family. So to me, having to worry about food when dealing with an illness is an anxiety that I wish no one would ever have to deal with; which is why I've been a volunteer with GLWD for over 10 years. It's my hope that my small contribution helps GLWD make life a little easier for all those we serve.- Jenny
I volunteered at GLWD a few weeks ago as a part of my company's community outreach. This was an amazing experience. I felt good giving back by chopping veggies, seasoning chicken, and helping the chefs in the kitchen. I will definitely give more time and encourage my colleagues to do the same. Thank you GLWD for reawakening my sense of community service and "giving back".- Spizzy
My Story is that I Volunteer on Thursdays between 4-6 and every time I wrap rolll or chop vegetables and put meat or vegetables into pack out I feel great. I am doing things for people that cannot help themselves and my two hours a week is helping so many people. The volunteers I work with also make it very special for me me. The people I work with KJ, Jana, Kate T.J. Tad, Chuck make me feel special and that makes me so grateful that my work is so appreciated.- Sara Jeen Grodensky
I lived and worked in South Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer for two and a half years. While there, I worked really hard to create meals for myself based on very limited ingredients. After a while, I realized that there were members of my own community who weren't equipped with basic food-health knowledge. I am not a chef, but even as a lay person, I was able to discuss basic food pyramid premises. Over the years, I began creating healthy recipes for the community (many of whom were suffering from HIV/AIDS) using only the limited supply of ingredients available to us in the Kalahari desert, while also taking into account that the entire village was living in complete poverty. Flash forward a few years, and I saw Amanda Freitag competing for God's Love on Chopped, and I knew I had to get involved. I start my first day delivering food with God's Love on July 8th and could not be more excited!- Stefanie DeLeo
My story is simple and maybe not unique, but to me it has never made me feel better. I sell pens so usually every Thursday I go to one of my customers store and sell my pens on the retail floor, then I finish and go to God's Love to help people that have no one to help them. I am a very lucky person I have great people in my life and most of all when I leave God's Love I fell like nothing can get me down. I must say that all of the workers K.J. our boss in the kitchen is great, Mr Brownie as I call him and everybody else is warm and friendly and you have no idea how that makes me feel. T.J., Jana, Kate they are so warm and friendly. I work with a lot of companies and no body has a staff like God;s Love. I said my peace and I am smiling now. Sara J Grodensky- Sara J
I've been a kitchen volunteer at GLWD for around 10 years now. Although people have come and gone from the kitchen over the years, whenever I meet a God's Love volunteer there is always a common denomenator: people care. It is such a good feeling to be in the kitchen surrounded by others taking the time out of their daily routines to do something for someone else. It is not often in our lives outside the kitchen to encounter such kindness.- Wednesday Night Volunteer
My friend, Alicia Rodriguez, has been working in your kitchens for a while and suggested that I join her. Last week was my first time and I found it so satisfing that I was pleased to return this week, and look forward to continuing my volunteer work. I am incredibly impressed with the staff and the volunteers are so nice.- Heidi
Hi!! My vision for my community is to live in a world where there is abundance, where everyone eats, where everyone smiles, and where joy, love, and compassion are always present. By volunterring and being in contribution to God's Love, We Deliver, I am living in my vision!- Erika
I've been volunteering at God's Love We Deliver on and off since 1996. And in that time, I have definitely gotten more out of being there than I have given. I first joined after my husband and I separated and I found myself with more tears and free time than I knew what to do with. I was a bit shy my first Thursday night in the kitchen, but I quickly felt a part of something really good. The people I met and became friendly with during those years may never know how much those Thursday night talks around the table chopping carrots, onions, and potatoes meant to me. Work and life got busier so I wasn't able to devote my time to GD for a number of years. Then last year I found myself on the other end of GLWD services. I was the caregiver for my mother who was in the latter stages of stage IV lung cancer. It was an extremely stressful time made a bit less so when Mom began receiving meals from God's Love. The meals were designed with Mom's special dietary needs and seeing the delivery person's smile helped remind me how lucky I was to once be a part of this great organization. Mom passed away in October 2011 and of course I came back to God's Love as a Thursday night volunteer. I want to honor her by giving back to this wonderful organization that was there when I needed them; and I hope my small part as a volunteer can somehow help others.- Jenny Montalbano
I vividly remember the first day I walked into God's Love after a seriously lengthy hiatus...As soon as the elevator doors opened to the basement kitchen and I wrapped the apron around my waist, I recognized how much I really missed this place. The people you meet, the conversations you have while working, the connections you make are literally indescribable. A melting pot of New Yorkers working together to improve the lives of fellow New Yorkers, its inspiring....I will sing the praises of Gods Love all over this world; it is a magical place where people selflessly donate their time, energy and money to helping others. Every night we hear how many meals are being delivered the next day and the figures always astound me…. 1800, 1600, you get the idea…. My love for GLWD knows no end; I look forward to celebrating many life moments downstairs in the kitchen. (Editor's Note: You can read the entire entry on the Sept. 29, 2010 entry at http://mmmguide.com/)- MMMGuide
Thank you so much for allowing us to spend the week with you and learn about your amazing work and the clients you serve. Everyone at God's Love was so friendly and helpful. It was a meaningful experience for each of us. We are going to work hard to spread the message of God's Love and help as much as possible from campus. Thank you!!- Lafayette College ASB
I first came to God's Love in late 2008 as I wanted to do something significant to honor a dear friend who lost his battle to AIDS. I have found a great deal of satisfaction volunteering alongside other New Yorkers who are active within their various communities and share a genuine concern for others. Until coming to God's Love, I was never very skilled when it came kitchen related activities. I am now an expert carrot and celery chopper. Most of all, I am content to know that I am able to be part of an organization that provides love, care and soulful nourishment for those who need it.- Amanda Bleich, Thursday Evening Volunteer
I volunteer at God's Love because it's a chance to be in the kitchen, surrounded by terrific people, as part of a shared outreach to the people in our own neighborhoods who really need it. From day one I felt welcomed, both by the God's Love staff and by the other volunteers. Working in the kitchen is a break from the demands of real life, a time when you're not worrying about work, or thinking about the housework waiting at home. You can lose yourself in the rhythm and concentration of soup-chopping carrots. You can laugh yourself silly listening to your compatriots tell stories from their week (how is it that all of the volunteers are such warm, fabulous people?). It feels good to come to a place of such giving every Wednesday night. On some level, I feel that the positive energy that we generate in coming together comes through in the food. It feels personal. Preparing a meal for someone, especially a person struggling with illness, is to me the epitome of caring and healing. It's a nice thing to have in your week.- Kate Powers, Wednesday Evening Volunteer
From all of us at the St. Michael's College MOVE Office - thank you so much for hosting our students again this year. We are constantly inspired by all that God's Love does and look forward to our continued partnership.- St. Michael's Alternative Spring Break

You're right that debtor education is the key. While aggressively using DV and enforcing the FDCPA is the optimum method of dealing with the JDB's, just knowing the law and learning how powerless these collectors really are, could have very good results in putting them out of business. But as you say, many consumers are not inclined to research and learn. They have been conditioned to bow down to what they consider as authority figures, and to many, the debt collector fits that mold. Many consumers do not even have the most basic understanding of the legal system. I sat on a jury a couple of years ago involving a civil suit. It was a personal injury suit. There was some discussion among the jurors as to why the defendant could not be sentenced to jail time. I became aware at this time, that I was the only juror who knew the difference between criminal and civil law. If this is a sampling of the general population, it's no wonder that the JDB's are successful in intimidating so many into sending them money.If everybody just said no, or just managed not to talk to JDB's in general. The industry would collapse. Unfortunately, with the low knowledge level of most debtors, combined with fear, this is not likely to happen.
Flyingifr,This is my first post, and many thanks for your advice and expertise, youve been very helpful.I wonder if youll kindly clarify the matter of a DV letter to a JDB a bit (if this is the right board). In your expert opinion, will a DV letter still have any value more than 30 days after the debtor receives a CA/JDB letter advising assignment or old debt purchase?In other words, if a DV letter is mailed to a JDB 6 or even 8 months after the debtor initially heard from the CA. And this CA wishfully assumed the debtor acknowledged the debt by not responding within the 30 days, will a one two punch and CRA dispute strategy still be valid?
What if Im really not concerned about the CA/JDB pursuing, harassing or annoying me, for hes way out of statute. And Im only concerned because this JDB re-aged and re-reported an old account (as its own) already expunged after the allotted 7.5 years passed, and so far got away with it. Does a belated DV letter really help set him up for violations at this point?
I further understand that there is a difference between a DV letter and a letter disputing the accuracy and legality of whats being reported. Which in your opinion is more threatening to a JDB? A letter informing them youve evidence theyre re-aging this underlying account and if they dont expunge youll sue. Or a standard, yet belated DV letter?
And if I opt to confront a JDB in a dispute letter that Ive evidence theyre violating the FCRA by re-reporting an obsolete account, would this be an admission on my part that this account is mine? In other words, can I acknowledge that the underlying OCs account was once mine and at the same time deny the JDBs rightful ownership, permissibility to collect, and claim to it?
So far, out of two affected CRAs, only Equifax accepted to delete through an online dispute alleging fraud (40 days after the dispute, its still off). TU, however, insisted on verifying regardless of all the evidence of re-aging I mailed them and did get a bogus verification. When I called TU, the rep said oh, we didnt investigate it as a re-aged account well do that now and wait another 30 days. I mean I mailed TU a detailed dispute, supported by tons of back reports and the JDBs letter which names the OC, acknowledges it was a charge off years ago, and stupidly claims it reported this status to the major bureaus (maybe I made a mistake furnishing TU with the JDB's letter?) What do I have to mail TU, a certified video showing the JDB stabbing me in the eye?Thanks again for your great input.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Indians closer Chris Perez deactivated his Twitter account following two rough outings, and after receiving a slew of negative comments.
Perez took down (at)chrisperez54 on Monday, not long after the two-time All-Star gave up a ninth-inning home run to Seattle's Endy Chavez. It was the second straight poor performance by Perez, who allowed back-to-back homers in the ninth on Saturday. The Indians won both games.
Several fans sent Perez harsh comments and there were a few profane remarks made toward him following Monday's win, which completed a four-game sweep by the first-place Indians, who entered Tuesday's game against Detroit leading the AL Central by 2 1-2 games over the Tigers.
Although he was one of the AL's top closers last season, Perez became a target for some fans when he criticized them for not supporting the Indians. Perez has always been active on Twitter, posting a daily favorite song and interacting with his followers.
In a statement released through the team, Perez didn't specify his reason for deactivating his account.
"The decision to deactivate my Twitter account was a personal choice I made in order to maintain the greater focus on the success of the team this season and our shared goals moving forward," he said. "We have an extremely positive and supportive group of players, coaches and staff members in our clubhouse and I want to participate in activities and routines that contribute positively to the culture we're building here.
"Out of respect for my teammates, I want to minimize any potential off-the-field distractions so this is the only time I will comment on this topic. Thank you for your understanding."
Perez was not in Cleveland's clubhouse before pregame batting practice and he did not speak with reporters after leaving the field.
Indians manager Terry Francona was aware of Perez's decision to abandon the social media site.
"I don't know if it's a good idea or a bad idea," he said. "I understand his reasoning was to focus more on what we're doing. I thought his thought process was really good. I don't think I've looked at a Twitter in my life. I don't even know if I know how. But I like his reasoning. I'm cool with it."
Francona wasn't with the Indians last season, but he knows Perez was a polarizing figure. Francona contacted Perez shortly after he was hired by the Indians and said the hard-throwing 27-year-old has been great to deal with and focused this season.
"Terrific and more," Francona said. "His level of communication with me has been fantastic."
Perez, who recorded 39 saves in 2012, is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA and six saves this year.

Luxurious Leek Dishes
Leeks are one of those vegetables that unfortunately not enough people eat and just wonder what they are as they pass them in the produce aisle. Initially they can be rather intimidating but even in the most simple preparation they can be seriously luxurious.
Often the simplest preparations are the best for ingredients like leeks. Let their unique and subtle flavor shine through. Baby Leeks With Mustard Vinaigrette from French Press Memos is so quick and easy to prepare but is sophisticated and luxurious enough to impress just about anyone.
An even lighter option is the Orange Pea and Leek Salad from Cook and Be Merry. Straight to the point and packed full of flavor.

"The Cryonic Woman" is the thirty-second episode of Futurama, the nineteenth and last of the second production season and the third of the third broadcast season. It aired 3 December, 2000 on FOX. It guest stars Pauly Shore as himself.
Fry meets his former girlfriend, Michelle, at Applied Cryogenics. Michelle decides they should flee together to the year 4000, but they mistakenly end up in Los Angeles.
The Story
Act I: "I'd like to reapply for my old job."
Leela leaves the keys in the Planet Express Ship but it is attached by the unbreakable diamond tether and Fry and Bender take off in it, taking the Planet Express building with them. They fly over the world and return with the building badly damaged. The Professor fires Fry, Bender and Leela (because she left the keys in the ship). Leela has kept their old career chips and they insert them into their palms. At the cryonics lab Leela finds out that she put in the delivery boy chip in her palm and the cryonic counsellor in Fry's palm. Bender also gets a job there, as he has got the severed arm of the prime minister of Norway. Fry and Bender enjoy their new job by tricking people into thinking evil creatures like giant flys, gorillas and robots have taken over. Fry also prank call Leela and unfreeze Pauly Shore. The next person they try to trick turns out to by Fry's ex girlfriend Michelle and they fall in love.
Act II: "So you froze yourself to come look for me?"
Michelle tells her story of how she got married, divorced and then froze herself. Michelle has trouble fitting in with giant roaches, art tattooed on fat people and other weird things in the 31st century. Things get worse when she meets the rest of the Planet Express crew. Michelle tells Fry that she doesn't fit in and that the only way out is to freeze themselves again for another 1000 years and that nothing matters but their love. This convinces Fry and they go in the tube, only to find that the year 4000 is a wasteland.
Act III: "Could we please join your society?"
Fry and Michelle argue and Michelle demands that Fry builds a shelter and the best he can do is a hole which doesn't satisfy Michelle. The next morning they are woken up by some kids with guns. They are taken to the place they live ruled by a boy named Butch. Michelle wants power and makes Fry challenge Butch's leadership. Fry wins this challenge, but then Butch's mom arrives and tells all the kids to come to Hebrew class. Fry and Michelle argue again and Fry leaves Michelle. He travels through the wasteland and spots something ahead. He finds himself in LA and the Planet Express ship lands. They explain that Fry was only frozen for 2 days, that he was in Pauly Shore's tube and the people responsible for delivering it to his movie screening chucked it in a ditch when they found out it wasn't him. Michelle is now dating Pauly Shore. Fry asks for his job back but is ejected out of a trap door in the ship after Bender reminds the professor why he fired him.
Additional Info
- Weird Al Yankovic is also seen in the cryo-tube.
- Michelle "first" meets Bender during the events of Bender's Big Score, though it is possible this is not the case until late 3007, or that back in 2000 she thought it was a cheesy new years costume or was simply too drunk to remember that night. Otherwise her not recognizing and screaming because of Bender may be a continuity error of Bender's Big Score. However, it is possible she screamed because she recognized him.
- Before the deathrolling match, the chief's girlfriend counts up to 3 in Hebrew.
- Names found in the Walk of Fame:
Hermes: Have you lost all self respect?
Fry: All what?
Michelle: Oh, look! Some little kids.
Fry: They'll save us. [The kids point guns at them.] We're saved!
Bender: You were only frozen for two days. Uh, by the way, I broke your bed.
Butch: I'm Butch, leader of this place. I took your hole and you can't do nothing about it.
Michelle: Okay.
Fry: So you're saying these aren't the decaying ruins of New York in the year 4000?
Farnsworth: You wish! You're in Los Angeles!
Fry: But there was this gang of 10-year-olds with guns.
Leela: Exactly, you're in L.A.
Fry: But everyone is driving around in cars shooting at each other.
Bender: That's L.A. for you.
Fry: But the air is green and there's no sign of civilisation whatsoever.
Bender: He just won't stop with the social commentary.
Fry: And the people are all phoneys. No one reads. Everything has cilantro on it.
- Fry has, understandably, forgotten about the use of career chips. These were last mentioned in the pilot.
- Fry and Michelle think they awoke in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic waste land. A very similar theme appears within the plot for "The Late Philip J. Fry".
- After the ship destroys part of the Great Wall of China, some Mongol raiders enter China through the gap.
- The gallery of tattoo art is probably a reference to Roald Dahl's story 'Skin', part of the Tales of The Unexpected series.
- The children Fry and Michelle meet might be a reference to the New Zealand TV show "The Tribe" or "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome".
- The poster Ipgee takes out a of a monkey wearing a tie and the slogan "I Hate Mondays", is reference to Garfield that he doesn't like Mondays.
- When Fry is wishing to be back in the year 3000, he mentions brains flying through space, these have yet to be encountered. Then again, no one has been seen eating lasers either, so he may just be talking about a TV show, which got something correct. He could also mean the Spheroids from "War Is the H-Word", a previous episode.
- The bandanna wraps around a pole with Fry and Butch on either end, when the dust clears the pole is missing.
- Throughout the episode, there are times when Michelle is wearing pants, then is wearing a skirt in the next scene. This also happens vice versa.
- When Bender begs for money, Leela tells him "for God's sake Bender, we're not veterans", but, in actuality they are after the events in "War Is the H-Word".
- The career chip Leela gave Fry said Cryogenic Counsellor, when her old title was actually Fate Assignment Officer.
- When Leela mentions that she left the keys in the spaceship, she's wearing her jacket. In the very next scene, she's flying through the air after the Planet Express Ship rips up the Planet Express headquarters, and she's wearing only her tank top.
- The cars driven in Los Angeles are not hover cars, but cars using wheels. This is strange because by the 31st Century, the wheel has become obsolete.
- The Leaning Tower of Pisa, which was destroyed at Monument Beach reappears back in Italy (and is subsequently destroyed again).

WICHITA — State health officials say this year's flu season is winding down in Kansas, and this season won't be as severe as last year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports Kansas has gone from having widespread flu to regional flu.
Robert Moser, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, says the flu was the direct cause of death of 25 people so far this year. That compares with 58 Kansans last year.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/1bRp4Ti ) deaths with flu or pneumonia as a contributing factor also dropped, from 919 last season to 477 this season. And deaths attributed soley to pneumonia dropped from 469 last season and 258 this season.
The flu season is from September to May.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For the next week the federal government will pay all of the costs to help get public transportation and power restored to parts of New York and New Jersey hit hardest by Superstorm Sandy, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Thursday.
FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said President Barack Obama has approved requests from New Jersey and New York for the government to cover the costs for emergency transportation, including helping repair subway tunnels and get buses running, and power grid repairs for 10 days. He did not give any estimates of how much that could cost.
The president's decision does not mean that the government will eventually reimburse the states for all the costs to repair damage from the massive storm that plunged parts of Manhattan into darkness, shut down much of the subway and destroyed parts of the New Jersey shore.
Fugate said FEMA generally pays states back for 75 percent of repair and recovery costs. In some cases, the agency has covered as much as 90 percent of disasters costs.
But Fugate said it's too early to know how much of the costs the government may eventually cover.
"What will be needed later, as far as cost share adjustments, will be made later," Fugate said.
Officials from both states have asked that the government reimburse the local governments for all of the costs.
Insurance companies have estimated that the storm could cost them anywhere from $10 billion to $20 billion. According to the forecasting firm Eqecat, total economic damage could run as high as $50 billion.

Florida has the highest occurrence of sinkhole activity of any state, according to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.
Southwest Marion County residents Roy and Pat Meinson noticed cracks continually re-appearing in the home where they have lived for 19 years.
"It was shocking," Pat Meinson said.
"It" was a sinkhole.
Foundation Services of Central Florida was called to handle the remediation, which involved 15 truckloads of grout being pumped into 29 injection points around the house and patio.
Foreman Trevor Nameth watched job-site gauges, monitoring the accumulated pressure of the grout and checking the sensitive, surveying-type equipment, which can detect movement of a structure as slight as thirty-second of an inch.
Florida has the highest occurrence of sinkhole activity of any state, according to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.
"The I-4 corridor from Clearwater to Daytona, including St. Petersburg, Tampa, the Pasco-Hernando county areas, (parts of) Marion and Sumter counties and the Tallahassee" area are all prone to underground anomalies, said Tony Randazzo, a retired professor emeritus with the University of Florida Department of Geological Sciences who now works with Geohazards Inc. consultants in Gainesville.
"There are sinkholes all over Central Florida; it's really a matter of degrees," Randazzo said.
Indeed, Foundation Services of Central Florida performs compaction grouting on 100 to 125 jobs per year within a 100-mile radius of Ocala.
On the Meinson job, a representative or monitor from the firm providing the engineering blueprint ensured that injection point placement and other job requirements were met.
The Meinsons remained in their home during the roughly three week drilling-and-filling job.
"We had the insurance; we had checked the policy before," Roy Meinson said.
■ ■ ■
Mary and Vic Ruzica, of The Villages, had an even worse sinkhole experience. On June 25, the earth started to cave in behind their property.
"About 4 p.m. it seemed like an earthquake. The ground out around the pond (about 50 feet behind the rear of their property) was sinking in and the 3-foot hanging metal palm tree ornament was shaking against the rear wall of the house and making a loud noise," Mary Ruzica said.
"I saw fish, ducks, everything going down that hole," Vic Ruzica said.
"Thank God for The Villages; they came right out here with trucks of fill to stop the progression of the sinkhole," she said.
"It was around the time of Hurricane Debbie in 2012," Mary Ruzica said.
Soon, major cracks formed in the floor and ceiling of the Ruzicas' home and a difference in the level in one bedroom was evident.
The lanai sustained major damage, and the aluminum and screen were removed; separations were visible in the patio concrete.
The retired New Jersey couple, both 73, had to undertake approximately $140,000 worth of remediation. Again, Foundation Services handled the stabilization project.
In all, it involved about 36 exterior grout injection points and 65 support piers sunk into the ground throughout the interior of the house.
The concrete-encased, roughly three-inch diameter galvanized support piers are set in casings that are drilled down to the "stratum," or limestone, anywhere from 20 to 80 feet below the surface, according to Robert Stephenson, co-owner of Foundation Services.
Vic Ruzica said the house was also stabilized by I-beams.
The Ruzicas removed all their furniture, and most flooring was removed. The gas was shut off at the damaged home and the couple has been living in a second home they own nearby.
"We've done jobs like Booster Stadium that took 1,300 yards of concrete," Stephenson said, noting that most residential jobs fall short of catastrophic levels.
■ ■ ■
Randazzo said excess rain after drought conditions, in addition to the lowering of groundwater from over-pumping, are factors contributing to sinkhole activity.
Ryan Gummer is president of Secure Restoration Systems, an Ocala company specializing in sinkhole remediation or stabilization of the foundation.
"Remediation is a growing field. Three years ago there were 25 companies in the state; now there are 80," Gummer said.
"Drought conditions, infrastructure and growth" are factors in sinkhole activity, Gummer said.
He also cited well pumping, which reduces underground "hydraulic pressure" and thus weakening underground cavities while putting the weight on top with irrigation.
Most homes are subject to some settling in the first three years, but sinkhole-related activity can produce manifestations like a floor crack with "half-inch to six-inch" differences on either side, he explained.
Gummer said his typical job, which can vary depending upon the survey of the site, is about $83,000 and involves an average of about 20 to 30 trucks of (modified) concrete pumped into the same number of injection points.
Gummer said a soil penetration test prior to construction could spot sinkhole activity, but "it's costly and not required."
Underground conditions can change over time due to natural and man-made conditions, he said.
Stephenson explained jobs may require grout or modified concrete fill for deeper remediation and chemical compounds for upper soils.
Warning signs to watch for are door and windows difficult to open or close and stair-step-type cracks which appear in walls.
Steve Bird, of Bird Insurance Agency in Ocala, explained some aspects of sinkholes and insurance.
"All admitted homeowner carriers in the state of Florida are required to provide catastrophic ground coverage collapse coverage. The homeowner carrier may offer sinkhole loss coverage as an option" with a prior and rigorous inspection, Bird stated in an email.
"There is an additional premium for (sinkhole loss) coverage and (it) may have a deductible of 10 percent of the amount in which the dwelling is insured," he explained.
"It may be very difficult to obtain the sinkhole loss coverage in Marion County. Companies are removing the sinkhole loss coverage and adding the catastrophic ground coverage collapse when the policies renews or adding a 10 percent deductible to the sinkhole loss coverage. The cost of the sinkhole loss coverage is also increased considerably to reflect the cost of the sinkhole claims that the companies have paid out," Bird said.
Bird indicated that "when payment is made on a sinkhole claim, that information is reported to the property appraiser and will be a public record for that location."

Judge scolds woman accused in lottery winner's death during trial
Trial enters fifth day
Judge scolds woman accused in lottery winner's death during trial
Trial enters fifth day
TAMPA, Fla. —
A judge has been losing patience with the woman being tried in a Tampa courtroom on charges of swindling, then killing a lottery winner.
Friday is the fifth day of Dorice "Dee Dee" Moore's trial. She's charged with first-degree murder in the 2009 shooting death of Abraham Shakespeare, who won a $30 million lottery in 2006.
Judge Emmett Battles scolded Moore several times Thursday, telling her she shouldn't gesture or nod during witness testimony and evidence.
Moore's lawyer said most of the evidence against his client is circumstantial and that there is nothing tying Moore to the gun used to kill Shakespeare.
Shakespeare's decomposed body was found under a concrete slab and buried in the back of Moore's home in January of 2010.

Just Say No, Mr. President
By Roger Simon
We did not own a color TV, but I could see the ripples as the explosions tore the air and earth, and I could imagine how the balls of flame must have looked.
The B-52s, which soon may be used to fire Tomahawk missiles into Syria, were so powerful — their payloads so obliterating — that we had to avoid their use in certain areas of Vietnam because "their potency approached that of a tactical nuclear weapon," wrote war correspondent Neil Sheehan.
Less powerful — but, in a way, more terrible — were the fighter bombers dropping napalm. Napalm canisters were designed to tumble so that their jellied gasoline would splash in long, blazing lines.
The most famous victim of napalm was Kim Phuc, 9 years old, who ran naked down a road, her mouth a gash of pain as she screamed, "Nong qua, nong qua." Too hot, too hot.
Water boils at about 200 degrees. Napalm burns at about 2,000 degrees.
Kim Phuc survived her terrible burns. She lives in Canada today. Her bombing, by our South Vietnamese allies (though U.S. forces used plenty of napalm themselves), was a "mistake." The pilot said Kim looked like an enemy soldier. This made it legal.
It is still legal to drop napalm on soldiers.
Whether dying from sarin is worse than dying from napalm I could not tell you. Had Syrian President Bashar Assad used napalm instead of poison gas, he probably would have crossed no American "red line."
I do not doubt that Assad has murdered children in a terrible fashion.
But I do doubt that our B-52s can bomb him into being a better person.
Our Tomahawk missiles, roughly 3,000 pounds each, are "smart," but not all that smart. We can guide them against military targets, but we cannot guarantee that they won't kill civilians.
So Assad soon could have his own pictures of dead children and white-shrouded figures, but these killed by the good guys, these killed by us.
We have said our attack, if it takes place, will be extremely restricted.
Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday our strike will be an "unbelievably small, limited kind of effort." In other words, it will be a "feel-good" attack, one that allows us to say that we struck a blow against the use of poison gas, that we struck a blow for righteousness.
Others tell me this is not so. Others tell me the president has rejected a "pinprick" response and instead will send missiles crashing into Syria day after day, with our B-52s stopping only to refuel, pick up more missiles and select new targets.
We have a stockpile of about 4,000 Tomahawks in our arsenal. They cost roughly $1 million each. The sequestration has cut back on our meals for schoolchildren, but it won't cut back on our use of Tomahawks. Priorities are priorities.
"The United States is not being the world's policeman," Kerry has said.
On the contrary. The United States is very definitely being the world's policeman. We must bomb far-off countries, not because our national interests are at stake — they are not — but because it is our burden to do so. If we do not bomb, who else will? (Yes, a few other countries will join us, but they will not act if we do not act.)
There used to be something called Vietnam syndrome. It was the belief that Americans had become gun-shy when it came to getting involved in the civil wars of other nations.
Eventually, we got over it. We bombed here and there; we invaded here and there. We were no longer "chicken."
But even when our intentions were good — invading Afghanistan to disrupt and destroy al-Qaida for launching the 9/11 attacks against us — getting in proved so much easier than getting out. We are still in Afghanistan nearly 12 years later, propping up a corrupt regime that lacks popular support. (The same problem we had in Vietnam.)
In Iraq, we lost more than 4,000 U.S. service members. An estimated 100,000 Iraqi civilians were killed. Children were among them. And all for a lie, all for a fantasy. All for weapons of mass destruction that did not exist.
There is now the possibility, floated by Russia, that Syria would give up its chemical weapons to international control. President Barack Obama called this a "potentially positive development" Monday but also said it may just be a stalling tactic, which would not prevent an eventual strike.
"There is a certain weariness, given Afghanistan," Obama did admit recently. "There is a certain suspicion of any military action post-Iraq."
We are weary, Mr. President.
We are suspicious, Mr. President.
Listen to America, Mr. President. And just say no.

The promotion-chasing away side are the 10/11 (1.91) favourites with William Hill for victory, but that price looks short given the current troubles in which Swindon find themselves.
Manager Paolo Di Canio has publicly stated he is considering his future despite the club narrowly avoiding administration when they were taken over by a local consortium.
The Italian was incensed at the board's decision to sell key player Matt Ritchie to Bournemouth for £500,000, and Di Canio was frustrated further when the Football League blocked three deals he had in place before the transfer deadline passed.
With such chaos surrounding Swindon, it would seem a touch foolhardy to back them to win away from home given they have not taken three points from their last three trips on the road.
They are, however, unbeaten in nine outings and sitting third in the division, facing a team in 19th place and just three points off the relegation zone.
Colchester are available at 3/1 (4.0) to win, and the Us have just recorded back-to-back victories.
Before that Joe Dunne's side went nine league games without a win, but he will be optimistic about his team getting something from this game against Swindon.
With all that in mind, and considering Swindon have drawn their last three away games, backing the draw at the Colchester Community Stadium looks a worthy 5/2 (3.50) bet.
In the goalscorer markets, the favourite to find the net is the away side's 10-goal top-scorer James Collins at 4/1 (5.0) first and evens (2.0) anytime.
However, Collins has not scored in his last four outings and therefore opting for the in-form Freddie Sears to strike may be a more tempting punt.
The former West Ham prodigy has scored in his last three successive matches and at 9/1 (10.0) to break the deadlock and 10/3 (4.33) anytime he looks great value.
Di Canio was Sears' hero growing up as a Hammers fan, and how the 23-year-old would surely love to find the back of the net when he steps out against Swindon.
|Draw at 5/2 (3.50) with William Hill
|Freddie Sears to score anytime at 10/3 (4.33) with William Hill

text: I recently started using a Continuous Ridge Line (CRL) on my tarp. This weekend I was hanging between a couple of trees, one of which was kinda thin. It tended to move a little towards me when I got into my hammock. It was easy to adjust the hammock's suspension to accommodate the 4-6" change in distance between the trees, but this change made my tarp's CRL sag. Has anyone else experienced this, and how did you fix it? (aside from finding different trees to hang from)

A Good Story
No too long ago, Kurt and I were camping with the boys. I realized something that I had never thought about before. It was just the four of us, all cozy in our camper. Our bellies were full from s'mores, and we were about to sleep that good sleep that comes after spending a cool fall day outdoors. In those moments before dropping off to sleep, I realized something kind of cool. The four of us share no DNA. We are genetic strangers. And we are a family. Two boys, that if not for adoption, would never have known each other, are brothers. The boy that I met when we were eight, who became my husband, and I, are their parents. Our sons, who lost their first parents, and had no siblings, now have each other, two big sisters and parents. These two boys completed our family and along with their sisters are as essential to our beings as the air we breathe. Turns out we are a good story. In fact, we are a fantastic story.
So the next time I am asked if my sons are brothers, I will not be irritated. I will not feel sorry that I am not delivering the story that the listener is hoping to hear. I will be happy. I will be supremely happy because I will be able to say, "Yes, my sons are brothers and no, they did not start life as brothers...isn't that SPECTACULAR?"
We made a family where one was missing. If that's not a good story, then I don't know what one is.

|This article describes an index that measures the performance of an exchange, industry or a geographic region. View articles referencing this index.
The Baltic Dry Index is a daily average of prices to ship raw materials. It represents the cost paid by an end customer to have a shipping company transport raw materials across seas on the Baltic Exchange, the global marketplace for brokering shipping contracts. The index is quoted every working day at 1300 London time. This index can be used as an overall economic indicator as it shows where end prices are heading for items that use the raw materials that are shipped in dry bulk.
The index is maintained by the Baltic Exchange. The cargoes being moved are raw material commodities such as coal, steel, cement, and iron ore. The prices of underlying contracts are determined by the buyers and sellers, and then the exchange takes 20 different routes throughout the world for various materials and averages them into one index. The index does not concern itself with finished goods or container ships, only raw materials and dry bulk specific ships are factored into the calculation.[1] It also factors in all four sizes of oceangoing dry bulk transport vessels:
|Ship Classification
|Dead Weight Tons
|% of World Fleet
|% of Dry Bulk Traffic [2]
|25% w/ Handysize
|25% w/ Supramax[3]
This index is one of the purest leading indicators of economic activity. It measures the demand to move raw materials and precursors to production. Consumer spending and other economic indicators are backward looking, meaning they examine what has already occurred. The BDI offers a real time glimpse at global raw material and infrastructure demand. This could also be gleaned from looking at commodity prices, but there are substitution effects and futures contracts that make it difficult to interpret the impact of commodity price fluctuations. Additionally, nearly all commodities are seeing severe increases in prices in 2008 regardless of supply situations as investors seek to hedge their inflation exposure with hard assets.
Unlike stock and commodities markets, the Baltic Dry Index is totally devoid of speculative players. The trading is limited only to the member companies, and the only relevant parties securing contracts are those who have actual cargo to move and those who have the ships to move it. [4] The BDI will show how much a company or country is willing to pay to import raw materials immediately. For example, if a Chinese company has contracted out coal prices for the next year from Rio Tinto (RTP), then the spot price of coal increasing after a mine accident will not impact that established contract. However, when this company is willing to pay more per ton to ship the coal than to actually purchase it, an investor can see that price growth is accelerating.
As the BDI increases, so effectively does the cost of raw materials. This cost associated with procuring the materials must be passed along the value chain by producers and refiners. In the end, consumers will see higher dry bulk rates in the higher prices they pay for goods derived from these raw materials. For example, when Folgers pays an extra $10/ton to import coffee beans, they will pass along this increased procurement cost to consumers to maintain margins.
Additionally, imported goods may often carry a BDI factor in the prices. An example of this would be the average Chinese imported good. As China transformed from coal exporter to importer, they began buying coal from nations such as Russia, Brazil, and Australia. The coal from the latter two must be shipped using dry bulk carriers. As the rates for the BDI went up in 07, so did the cost of coal to China. Since coal is used for 70-80% of China's energy generation, [5] overhead costs for factories increased with the price of coal. As the overhead costs increase, so must the price of the end good to maintain the margin of profit. As this end price increased, an American paid more for a t-shirt or toy at Wal-Mart.
In the current scenario any rise in price of consumer goods is not possible but if this trend continues for an extended period the companies tend to pass on the prices to the end users to maintain its margin
Example of Global Ports Congestion Index Report
Shipping industry publication "Lloyd's List" publishes a comprehensive list of input and route specific indices. These can be used to gauge demand on certain inputs. Economic activity can also be extrapolated by examining where rates are rising/falling on specific routes.
Lloyd's List Indices and Route/Cargo Info[13]
When the BDI increases, dry bulk shipowners win. The increase in the index directly increases their margins and revenues.
When the BDI decreases, every other consumer/producer in the global value chain wins. Since the BDI measures procurement costs, when these costs go down, producers benefit from increased margins, and consumers benefit from lower prices for finished products.
When an investor buys a dry bulk shipping stock, they are effectively buying into the Baltic Dry Index. The amount of exposure depends on the individual stock. Some companies, such as DryShips (DRYS), have most of their ships contracted out at the spot Time Charter Equivalent. This means that the contracts are directly correlated to the daily price of the BDI. Thus, their revenues are directly tied to the index. In times of increasing prices, this set up will yield greater profits for the shipper. Other companies, such as Diana Shipping (DSX), have contracts set at the period Time Charter Equivalent. This means that they enter into a contract, usually 2-5 years in length, which pays a fixed daily rate. This set up provides less volatility, hedges risk against falling BDI rates, and guarantees cash flows.
Because dry bulk ships are expensive, fungible assets, shipping companies often have high asset values, and their stocks tend to show up on value screens. Some argue for comparing the relative values of shipping companies based on their Net Asset Value.[14]

I can agree with the concept of a newbie being put into Nova if they have not faced the regular round robin before. Even if they are from an existing series that is in Stella. I was surprised a little to see Hecete is Stella with Shana after all these years of Shana being alone. There are only two newbies in Stella this year.

Damn, glad my vote helped Kuroneko. Sweet pic too. Good day. Not surprised either that a number of KugiRie fans dropped Taiga the moment Shana got a whiff of victory.
So surprisingly (or not) 3 of the 4 jeweleries have gone to Nova characters. Too bad Holo didn't get the Amethyst Brooch though.

The newbie approach (as outlined by Sackett) would create more unpredictability amongst the top level characters too.
The reason for this is that newbies don't have well-established strength levels yet, whereas girls in their 2nd year in ISML tend to have this (the only thing that usually shifts this is a currently airing anime featuring one of the top girls - so Eucliwood is now stronger and can make things more exciting, but the other top girls in Nova all have fairly static strength levels).
So when two of Aria, Erio, Inori, and the Haganai girls go head-to-head, there's some real doubt as to who's going to win the match. But Kanade vs. Charlotte, or Kuroneko vs. Yuri or Yui, is very predictable. So by having those 2nd year girls in Nova, you make the top level more predictable as well.
From the highest tier to the lowest tier, Nova would be more unpredictable if it was only ISML newbies in it. And that would be of great benefit to Nova, imo.
When you consider all the benefits that come with the Nova = Newbie approach (many of which Sackett lined out very compellingly, imo), and when you consider all the inherent structural weaknesses of the current approach (as Sackett and I have both pointed out), it honestly seems very clear to me which approach would be the better one for ISML to go with.
Well, unless people here really want the next Kanade to languish pointlessly in Nova for two whole years, likely never getting to compete head-to-head with strong and popular vets while she's at her peak...

This would make the first few Necklace matches that much more exciting, imo, because we'd get to see our first real tests of new girl strength against veteran strength. But it would be a seven-way test, which can give skewed results, so people would have fun interpreting the results of those first few Necklace matches, and wondering what it might mean about the strengths of the new girls in it. I think it would be a fantastic year-long narrative.
Instead, what we have this year (so far) are Necklace matches that could have just as well happened last year. They're not bad matches, per se, but there's nothing particularly new or fresh about them.
And besides, the "more unpredictability" argument is just one argument out of many that Sackett and I have put forward in favor of a "Nova = Newbie and Stella = Veteran" format.
Edit: One more thing I want to quickly add before people raise a point that I can already see coming.
"If you had newbies vs. veterans in ISML necklace matches, the newbies would simply get killed!"
Two points in response to that:
1. This isn't necessarily true. It may well be true this year, but it might not be true next year. Again, a new Kanade or at least a new Kuroneko could arise.
2. Some of the 2nd-year Nova girls that made it into Necklace matches are getting curbstomped anyway. Yuri and Kirino both managed fewer than 1000 votes for the 2012 Aquamarine Necklace match, and Yui managed fewer than 800 votes for the 2012 Amethyst Necklace match. A total newbie could hardly do much worse...

Congrats to Kuroneko. Just got enough votes to take the necklace and certainly deserved the honor. A tight competition for the top like that really does make it feel worthwhile to vote .
And season 3 will happen....probably....don't destroy my dreams!

If nobody else wants to discuss this further right now, then I'll drop it after this post. But I really want to convey my misgivings with the current system, because I frankly see huge flaws in it.

@Triple_R: Remember that we were FULLY aware that Kanade would never go 1v1 with Mikoto/Shana/etc... during regular season...and that was a POSITIVE. It adds to the uncertainty of ISML...during the post-season where we would want to them battle it out for the very first time.
Now, someone will argue that it can be more "exciting" if a contestant beat another during regular season and then a reversal happens in post-season. I agree this is also a possibility for excitement. I recall we had more people going with "unpredictability during post-season", but more importantly, overall with both sides I cannot claim that "Kanade would never go 1v1 with Mikoto" is a negative, ever.
That's all I'll say on the subject since it was something that happened last year. We're not trying to interfere in this great discussion between the ISML community members, so please go on right ahead!

If the current system was in effect last year, Kanade and Mikoto would never have faced each other in the regular season... correct?
Now, as it so happened, Kanade was sniped by Shana in last year's Tiara Semifinal, preventing a Tiara Finals match-up between her and Mikoto. Something like that could have conceivably happened if the current system was in effect last year... correct?
So, if you had the current system in effect last year, you might not have seen Kanade go head-to-head with Mikoto at all last year.
Now, under the same system, you would not have had Kanade facing Mikoto at all during the regular season this year.
So, the Tiara Rounds come around again, and let's say that this time Mikoto gets sniped before she can face Kanade (or maybe Kanade gets sniped again, it would have the same effect).
You would now have two full years of no Kanade vs. Mikoto matches... anywhere, regular season or post-season. Do you see what I'm saying?
Yes, you would need an highly unfortunate sequence of events for something like this to happen, but it's possible. The format should not allow for even the possibility of something like this. It just shouldn't, imo.
But putting all of this aside, keeping the next Kanade or Kuroneko in Nova for two years is just horrible in and of itself, imo. It's even worse than what we have right now with Kanade in Nova, because last year's format meant we've already seen Kanade take on each the strongest vets at least once. The next Kanade won't have that benefit.

ok, i'm going to butt in and say, that i'm totally against the "Nova = first year in ISML" thing.
My point is that if the point of Nova is to bring new faces to the ISML then it's enough to make it "one year old anime = Nova". if you take animes from Spring last year to winter current year, then there is no way an anime charas that were in ISML could get in, because Nomination period ends in January. And any oldies that haven't been in ISML before should just go into Stella. If chara is weak it'll be weak no mater where it participates.
More importantly ISML is about Moe, it's about charas getting support from there fans and winning matches for a whole year , i mean one thing is to get a chara to win and totally different thing is to support the chara for a whole year. Not every chara has that many dedicated fans and supporters. There are bound to be charas that lose support over time and charas that will gain support, and we don't have control over that process. That is why I don't think there is a point in making it easier for oldies to get in ISML. If they lose they lose, nothing more nothing less. ISML is about Moe winning and not Moe losing, we each have our own Moe perception that's why ISML doesn't guarantee a chara that you think is more Moe to win, it's a chara that everybody think is Moe that wins. Basically rule of the majority. And there is no point in making it so some underdog chara would face noob charas, so that maybe it would do better than with others from the same league. Is this a tournament or is this a show? Are we here to make it clear which chara is the most moe or are we here to get some random charas to fight each other for the sake of the show?

Valparaiso took a 2-0 lead midway through on Tuesday afternoon, but a 10-run eighth inning by Central Michigan led the Chippewas to a 13-2 victory over the Crusaders in Mount Pleasant, Mich.
Valpo jumped on the scoreboard in the opening inning. Dan DeBruin (Combined Locks, Wis./Kimberly H.S.) led off the game with a double and scored two batters later on Zach Rodeghero's (New Lenox, Ill./Providence Catholic H.S.) RBI single through the right side. The fifth-year senior, and Horizon League's leading hitter, also extended his hitting streak to 14 straight games.
The Crusaders added to the lead in the fifth as DeBruin led off with a walk. After Brett Bivens (Battle Creek, Mich./Lakeview H.S.) singled to move DeBruin into scoring position, Rodeghero again singled to increase the lead to 2-0.
Central Michigan (20-18) tied the game in the bottom of the fifth as Casey Ingle's ground out plated Jeff Nowaczyk, who doubled to lead off the inning. Tyler Helsen added a run-scoring single to left to tie the game at two.
Noah Lankford put the Chippewas in front in the sixth with a double down the leftfield line to score Brenden Emmitt, who led off the inning with a walk.
The Crusaders threatened to tie the game in the seventh, putting runners on the corners with no one out. A fielder's choice retired Rodeghero at the plate for the first out, and a strikeout and fly out got the hosts out of the jam.
The Chippewas added to their lead in the eighth as Matt Fairman singled with the bases loaded to score two runs. Tyler Stovall added a two-run triple as Central Michigan took a 7-2 lead. The hosts tacked on six more runs in the inning for insurance to record their 13th win in their last 16 games.
Rodeghero finished the game 3-for-5 for the Crusaders while Bivens also went 3-for-4 with a walk. Central Michigan had a 13-hit attack on the afternoon and Fairman drove in a team-high four runs.
John Snelten (Ingleside, Ill./Antioch H.S.) started and suffered the loss (1-1) for the Crusaders while Bryce Morrow (1-3) earned the win for Central Michigan, working seven innings.
Valparaiso (10-24) will return to Emory G. Bauer Field on Wednesday afternoon to begin a four-game homestand. First pitch against Judson College is set for 3 p.m.

RIM has announced it's going to remove the PlayBook's ability to sideload applications. The company claims it's to prevent the piracy problems in the "chaotic cesspool of Android Market". However, the company provided no evidence, studies, or whatever to back up their claims. Considering the state of RIM's business, I'd say the company has bigger fish to fry, but alas. At this point, I'm just hoping they don't do a BeOS, but open the QNX code before they go belly-up.

I think otherwise: it's the fastest way to bury Hurd into oblivion, since QNX will swallow his few active developers if open sourced.
Either that, or bury QNX in the developmental hell that's HURD development. Injecting a working system into a broken system doesn't always yield good results. More than likely, the HURD developers would try to make QNX match the HURD philosophy, ruining QNX in the process.

Lung Transplantation
Lung Transplantion Eligibility
I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2006 via lung biopsy. I am a non smoker. My father died of Idopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). My condition is now very bleak. I was evaluated for a transplant but deferred because of a nodule (1.3 cm) that was visible on CT scan. PET scan was negative. Two radiologists have diagnosed it as fibrosis, but another says could be Bronchial Alveolar Cancer (BAC) though remote. Too small and in an area too dangerous to biopsy. I am concerned.
Thank you for the question, another transplant evaluation may prove helpful.

text: In a joint press release, US companies InTouch Health and iRobot have announced a new telepresence robot for hospitals. The robot called "RP-VITA" builds on iRobot's AVA platform introduced at last year's Consumer Electronics Show. Similar to the AVA, the RP-VITA uses a tablet as the user interface and has autonomous mapping and navigation capabilities. The RP-VITA can also connect with diagnostic devices, such as otoscopes and ultrasound, and comes equipped with the latest electronic stethoscope. The robot is currently pending clearance by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), with results expected in the last quarter of 2012.
