Finally got my hands on a road atlas of the United States last night.
I divided up the trip to Texas pretty equally among 12 weeks to get an idea of about where I'll be each Friday. This part of the planning allows me to solicit standup gigs for the end of each week. Once done and confirmed, we'll be able to have a better idea of where we'll be during the weeks, should we wish to do some comedy shows during weekdays, too.
This list of possible destinations is exciting to consider. Hard to imagine I'll be riding my bike to all of these locations!
WEEK ONE : Concord, NH
WEEK TWO : Waterbury, CT
WEEK THREE : Philadelphia, PN
WEEK FOUR : Hagerstown, MD
WEEK FIVE : Charlottesville, VA
WEEK SIX : Johnson City, TN
WEEK SEVEN : Knoxville, TN
WEEK EIGHT : Nashville, TN
WEEK NINE : Memphis, TN
WEEK TEN : Little Rock, AK
WEEK ELEVEN : Texarkana, AK
WEEK TWELVE : Rockwall, TX

When Jhoulys "The Machine" Chacin is humming, he mows down hitters, produces groundball outs, walks few batters and devours innings.
Sunday afternoon, the right-hander could have used a squirt or two of WD-40 as the Rockies fell 5-1 to the New York Mets at Coors Field. The loss put the brakes on the rolling Rockies and prevented them from notching their first series sweep of the season.
Coming back from a strained right shoulder that wiped out his spring training, Chacin was anything but a well-oiled machine in his 2014 debut. He allowed four runs on eight hits. Most disconcerting, he walked five in his five innings of work. His fastball command, the key to everything he does, was inconsistent.
"It was one of those days. I just didn't have my good fastball today," Chacin said. "The first three innings, I wasn't throwing strikes, and when you don't throw strikes, you aren't going to win. I have some things to fix on my mechanics, too. I was throwing the ball up too much in the beginning."
PHOTOS: Rockies vs. Mets at Coors Field
WATCH: Jhoulys Chacin on his rusty first start of 2014
Manager Walt Weiss said: "I think there was some rust. He had a difficult time pitching down. He was up more than we are used to seeing him. For the first time out, a little rust. But he battled through to give us five (innings)."
Last season, Chacin went 14-10 with a 3.47 ERA in 31 starts and pitched a career-high 197 innings. Now that he's back in the rotation, he'll being counted on to carry a load of quality innings.
Chacin got little help from his teammates. Colorado's lone run came on a leadoff homer by Justin Morneau in the ninth. He's tied with Troy Tulowitzki for the team lead with seven homer runs.
The Rockies entered the game hitting .366 as a team during the current homestand, but Mets right-hander Dillon Gee muffled their bats for six-plus innings. Deftly mixing his fastball and changeup, he kept the Rockies off-balance and squelched the hottest-hitting team in baseball.
"He has a riding fastball that looks like a good pitch to hit, then you don't quite get to it," Weiss said. "That was our report coming in, and he was true to form. And he had a good changeup today."
The Rockies managed six hits and struck out five times vs. Gee, who improved to 3-1 and shrank his ERA to 2.51. He has now pitched 16 consecutive scoreless innings, the longest streak of his career.
Nolan Arenado managed to put a dent in Gee's performance. He hit a one-out double in the fourth to extend his hitting streak to 24 games, the best in the majors this season and the second-longest in Rockies history. Michael Cuddyer owns the club record of 27 straight games with a hit, set last season.
Arenado's streak is the longest for anyone 23 years old or younger since Albert Pujols (age 23) had a streak of 30 games in 2003.
The Rockies' best chance to rally fizzled in the seventh. Catcher Michael McKenry led off with a single and advanced to third on a single by Corey Dickerson. Into the game came Mets reliever Carlos Torres to replace Gee, and Torres got DJ LeMahieu to ground out and then struck out pinch-hitter Drew Stubbs. Lefty reliever Scott Rice got Charlie Blackmon to fly out to center to end the threat.
Tulowitzki, who leads the majors in batting average (.400) and OPS (1.230), did not play. Weiss said he was giving the shortstop a designated day off.
Before the game, Colorado placed catcher Wilin Rosario on the 15-day disabled list because of a viral infection that has left him with a high fever. Chacin took Rosario's place on the 25-man roster.

Jan's Uniquely Landscaped Backyard
Name: Jan
Location: Croton on Hudson, New York
Our small backyard was underused, not much to look at, and water collected in spots. We built a bluestone patio and added a low stone wall to enclose a portion of the patio. We planted shrubs as a privacy screen behind the wall.
Then we created a dry stream — a specialty of our company, Johnsen Landscapes & Pools — to aid drainage and add interest to our small plot of ground. I planted carex, annuals, siberian iris, grasses, and more along its border.

Thanks, Jan!

I didn't locate any biographies of my kin in the book, but I recognized plenty of names. So I marked the pages that had biographies of the names I recognized as the pioneers buried at Sheffer Pioneer Cemetery between Greenwood and Ashland, Nebraska. One of my acquaintances on FindAGrave is a descendant of these pioneers, so I thought I could share the information should he need it.
While the curator was making copies, she recognized one of the names since she had recently been doing some research on Civil War veterans buried in the county. She said she had his obituary and asked if I'd like a copy. Sure! Why not? Maybe my FindAGrave friend could use it. As I mentioned in Part 1, I didn't want to leave empty handed, and it didn't matter if what I found wasn't about my family!
I have gathered quite a bit of information about a court battle over moving the remains of Edward Cagney from the Fitzgerald plot in Calvary Cemetery in Lincoln, Nebraska to the cemetery in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. The case went to the Nebraska Supreme Court which decided his mother had the right to move the remains, which had been interred about 10 years. It's a fascinating story which I will write about in depth at a later time.
The Museum has fairly detailed lists of interments at the local cemeteries and all I had to offer was that it was probably in the Catholic cemetery. This turned out to be Holy Sepulchre. With help of the museum staff, these entries were located.
|Cemetery Listings for Edward Cagney and his brother, John J. Cagney
|Cemetery Listings to Catherine Fitzgerald Cagney McEntee
and her second husband, Charles McEntee
This also notes that Catherine's information is on the Cagney stone.
|Cemetery Directory showing the location of the Cagney/McEntee Lot
Additional information discovered: Charles McEntee's parents, Michael and Bridget,
are also buried here. Confirmation of Bridget's maiden name as Edoff.
My next field trip to Plattsmouth will definitely include a visit to Holy Sepulchre cemetery to photograph these gravestones. No, they are not my direct line, but it certainly makes for an interesting family history story! And I love a good story.

World Cup Final 2013
| 29 May - 2 June 2013
Press release
Four teams undefeated after first day of women's pool play
Katrin Holtwick helped Germany to an undefeated first day of competition
Campinas, Brazil, May 29, 2013 - Under cloudy skies and in chilly conditions, teams from Brazil, USA, Germany and Russia
were all unbeaten in pool play of the women's draw on the first day of the inaugural
FIVB Beach Volleyball World Cup Final in Campinas, Brazil.
First on centre court at 09:00 (local time) in pool A fourth seeds Katrin Holtwick and
Ilka Semmler of Germany beat Canada's Heather Bansley and Elizabeth Maloney 2-0 (21-10,
21-17), then followed that up with a tougher three-set win, 2-1 (21-14, 16-21, 15-9),
against Kristyna Kolocova and Marketa Slukova of the Czech Republic.
"We knew our second match was our important one," said Semmler. "It's probably the match
for who is going to be out [qualify] from the pool and we're pretty happy that we won
it. We can go now a little bit more relaxed into the last two matches."
Germany's pool A rivals, Brazil's Maria Antonelli and Talita Da Rocha Antunes, back
together for this tournament after success with new partners in 2013, also won their
first two matches on day one of the tournament, not dropping a set with 2-0 victories
against Mauritius (21-6, 21-4) and Canada (21-12, 21-10).
"We were able to find our rhythm in these two matches," said Talita. "Four years of
partnership did not end in five months. It was easy to play with Maria. It is good to
remember good things. The game against Canada showed what was our pair. I hope we are
able to hold that level during the tournament."
Brazil and Germany will meet in the last round of pool A matches on Thursday.
In pool B in the women's draw, Olympic silver medallists April Ross and Jennifer Kessy
were pushed a little harder than their Brazilian rivals, but also recorded a pair of
victories on day one. A 2-0 (21-17, 21-16) victory against Argentina was followed up
with a 2-0 (21-16, 21-19) win against Australia's new pairing of Louise Bawden and
Taliqua Clancy.
"We're always building, finding out and learning as we go," said Bawden. "It's a
different situation every game, something different comes at you and it's a challenge to
build the team work and bring the best of your skills each time. We're working hard on
The Australian pair face Argentina at 09:00 (local time) on Thursday, but meet the
fourth undefeated team in the women's draw, Russia's Evgenia Ukolova and Ekaterina
Khomyakova, in the their key pool match later in the day.
Ukolova-Khomyakova started their day with a quick 2-0 (21-15, 21-12) win against third
seeds Greta Cicolari and Viktoria Orsi Toth of Italy, and finished off the day's play at
Parque do Taquaral with another 2-0 (21-19, 21-15) win against Argentina. They face
Ross-Kessy of the USA in their first match on Thursday morning.
There were also four matches in the men's draw on Wednesday with the tournament's top
four seeds, Jacob Gibb and Casey Patterson from United States, Brazil's Alison Cerutti
and Emanuel Rego, Jonathan Erdmann and Kay Matysik from Germany and Latvia's Martins
Plavins and Janis Smedins all taking victory.
Erdmann-Matysik worked hardest for their win, needing just under an hour to take the
match 2-1 (21-12, 18-21, 21-19) with a close third-set win against Canada's Ben Saxton
and Chaim Schalk.
Play resumes at 09:00 (local time) on Thursday with matches from the women's draw, with

This is a very simple little book to make. This is a little Bunny Mini Book but you can make any basic shape for the theme ... such as a Cat head, or Heart. Kids can give these to Mom for Easter or Mother's Day.
Items needed:
- 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper
- Sticky back Foam or Constuction paper
- Scissors
- Markers
- Print and cut out the Bunny head shape.
- Trace 2 heads onto chosen Sticky back foam, or construction paper. Cut out and set aside.
- Cut a 2 inch strip of paper, lengthwise. Fold strip of paper in half ... then fold each side in half 2 more times. Gently unfold and then make your strip fold like an accordian, in, out, in out, making sure end sections are facing outwards.
- Set bunny head on top of folded paper, positioning so that the head (not ears) is fully over the paper, folded edges parallel to the sides of the bunny head.
- Lightly sketch the shape of the "head" only on the top of the folded paper. Now, being careful not to cut the center of the folded "sides", cut out the shape of the bunny "head" cutting through all thicknesses of paper. Leave about 3/4 inch uncut on the center of the sides. This will allow you to still have an accordian-style piece of paper that will make the inside of your book.
- Remove the sticky backing only from the bunny "head". Leave backing on ears.
- Attach Bunny heads to the first and last section of paper ... making SURE the first page is facing right (otherwise your bunny will be upside down or you will have 2 less "pages" to work with.
- Add pieces of sticky back foam, or construction paper, for nose and whiskers. Make eyes using a hole punch or make with marker.
- Let kids make little drawings and messages in their mini Bunny Book.

A new Facebook page, entitled "Ireland Abandoners" has slammed those Irish who have emigrated since the banking and property collapse crippled the economy. Both at home, in Ireland, and abroad, among said emigrants, the site has been met with criticism.
Recent figures show that emigration from Ireland is now at a high, greater than the numbers seen during the Great Hunger. The Irish Independent reports that during the twelve months leading up to April 2012, 87,000 people left Ireland.
As Joe.ie, a magazine website based in Ireland, pointed out, "The stream of Irish people from this country having to leave in search of employment in recent years, emigration is a hot topic at present and something that has directly or indirectly affected almost every family in the country.
"As a result, it is no surprise that a Facebook page set up seemingly with the sole purpose of criticizing those who have had to leave these shores has raised the ire of many who have come across it on the social networking site in recent days."
They also question whether the Ireland Abandoners are simply trolls trying to create a reaction online from the Irish people. If this is the case they've achieved their goals.
Read more: Year ends with emigration from Ireland highest since Famine times
Their page says "for all those that left the Country when she needed you most you will not be welcomed back to reap the rewards of the crops we are sowing."
It's no wonder that some of their posts have been greeted with over 1,500 comments, most of them angry.
The group's cover photo seen above shows a gathering of Donegal people, pre the GAA All-Ireland Final, at Sydney Habour Bridge, in Australia. The Ireland Abandoners page has tagged the photo with "Not Welcome Home."
In their "About" section they state "take down your tri colors that you fly so proudly in the foreign lands, remove your county color jerseys that you wear to show your "support" for your country, because you abandoned her when she needed you most!!"
Read more: Irish emigrant's 'Just Saying' video filmed in Dublin goes viral - VIDEO
Since the controversial page was established another group has formed on Facebook called "Ireland Abandoners MY ARSE." Evidentially established by Irish in Australia, their cover photo is of a beautiful white sand beach.
Their tag reads, "A dedication to the proud Irish men and women who left their friends, family and life back home to try make something of themselves. Most of us succeeded."
They state their intention is to have "Ireland Abandoners" removed from Facebook and Twitter.
This page (at the time of publication) had already garnered more followers than their competition.

Siegel Shares Life Experiencesby Derek Andre '16 • April 9, 2014 Share:
Monday night saw Wabash host the current CEO of USA Track and Field Max Siegel. Siegel was brought to Wabash by a joint endeavor of the Malcolm X Institute and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
The lecture Siegel gave on Monday night centered around the successes, failures and lessons he has learned throughout his career. Prior to working for USA Track and Field, Siegel worked as President of Global Operations at Dale Earnhardt Inc., Senior Vice President at Sony/BMG, and as the agent for Reggie White and Tony Gwynn. Siegel was also the first African-American to graduate with honors from Notre Dame Law School. After his lecture Siegel spoke about why he came to speak at Wabash.
"As hard as the students work here at Wabash College," Siegel said, "and be able to give some context to what you're passionate about is hopefully inspiring and informative. It's just great to be in front of young men who are striving for excellence."
Throughout the lecture, Siegel referenced his own story in hopes that it could serve as inspiration to those in attendance. Siegel spoke at length about the struggles he had growing up in a broken home. After graduating from Northwest High School in Indianapolis, Siegel attended Notre Dame where he struggled early in his career. Siegle eventually graduated from Notre Dame and went into the workforce.
After spending a few years working for General Motors, Siegel returned to South Bend and attended Notre Dame Law School. Siegel would then go on to work for Indianapolis based Baker and Daniels. Eventually, Siegel was appointed CEO of USA Track and Field after stints with Sony/BMG and Dale Earnhardt Inc. The goal of Siegel's lecture was to prove to those in attendance that where you started was not indicative of where you finished. Following the lecture, Arion Clanton '15 spoke about what he was able to take away from Siegel's comments.
"[I'm taking away] a lot of knowledge," Clanton said. "This is the first time I've eve met Max Siegel and just to be in the presence of someone as successful as him it shows me that I can also do the same thing that he's doing. I came from a rough background so hearing that he came from a rough background and is billions of dollars it just, it sheds a lot of light on things."

"After using PC-BSD several days, I was impressed with how easy it is to use. It's a good desktop OS, and a great way to introduce BSD to new users. The 1.0 release has a few rough edges, but nothing that should scare off prospective users. For the future, I'd like to see something like Synaptic to manage PBI packages and allow users to browse for software without having to visit the PC-BSD Web site, and it would be nice if the site had a little more documentation, but I expect such things will come along in due time as the project matures."

fruit loaf
the other evening i took home some of the sour dough culture that was excess to requirement and decided to use it in a fruit dough.
The sour doughculture itself was made from feeding the lees from a cider brew that i had recently made and was now a very active culture, i measured up 600g of flour and used 200g of culture to this i added 300g water 6g salt 18g dry yeast 48g butter 90g raw sugar 10g molassess.
this ended up being a bit to wet so i had to add a further 100g flour.
With the fruit i ended up with currants raisins dates and a fruit and nut mix that ended up being just over 300g
bulk ferment was for 2 hours and after tinning up was left for another 2 hours. i nearly went to bed and forgot that it was to go in the oven, in fact even put 1 foot in the bed and then remembered!
The bread turned out really good, great taste, nice and moist and loved by all my tasters. i am looking to make a larger batch next week at work.

Kris Allen hospitalised after car crash
The American Idol star was with his wife Katy and dog Zorro when their vehicle was involved in an accident, and his mother Kimberly took to her Twitter.com page to inform fans of the smash.
In a series of posts, she writes, "From Kris: he's in a lot of pain, arm broke, may not play guitar for a while. Prayers welcome please! head on collision. Kristopher and Katy are both pretty beat up but ALIVE! Thank you Jesus! They are setting his arm now and (he) will have surgery tomorrow."
Allen later took to his own page on the site to update fans about his condition and reveal he and his wife are expecting their first child.
He adds, "Thank you Ford for equipping me with a car that kept my whole family and the little one we have on the way safe. Yes I got in a really bad wreck tonight and yes I'm having a lil (sic) baby. Gonna (sic) be a daddy."
The singer also assured followers he will still play his upcoming shows despite his injuries.
In an additional post, he writes, "Don't worry everyone I may have broken my wrist but the Out Alive Tour is still on."

GOLD COAST, Queensland/Australia (Tuesday, February 22, 2011) –The ASP Top 17 will spring back into action this weekend for the opening event of the 2011 ASP Women's World Title season, the Roxy Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover.
Boasting a waiting period of February 26 through March 9, 2011, the Roxy Pro Gold Coast will feature the world's best female surfers as they start their respective campaigns for the 2011 ASP Women's World Title.
Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 20, 2010 ASP Women's World Runner-Up, is keen to get back into the competition singlet following an off season spent traipsing up and down the Eastern seaboard of Australia.
"I've really enjoyed my off season at home," Fitzgibbons said. "It seemed to fly by so fast and now we are already gearing up for the Roxy Pro. I managed to get all my wisdom teeth pulled out in my time off and spent some time at Snapper when the cyclone swells hit. I surfed and trained up and down the South Coast and I taught one of my heroes, tennis star Martina Navratilova, how to surf."
Fitzgibbons will be honoured as the ASP Women's World Runner-Up at the ASP World Surfing Awards on the Gold Coast this Thursday.
"I had a really exciting year in 2010 and learned so much," Fitzgibbons said. "I came close to a few wins throughout the year, so I now know the things I have to do to take that extra step and win. I was happy with my consistency last year and finishing at World Number 2 is something to be proud of. I will carry the confidence from that into the upcoming season. I will keep pushing to improve my performance throughout the 2011 World Tour."
Coming off a banner year in 2010, Fitzgibbons will look to firmly cement her reputation as and ASP Women's World Title contender this season.
"My motivations to start the season are as always: that I love competing and surfing with the World's Best and that I want to be World Champion," Fitzgibbons said. "My goals will be to keep improving my surfing through the year, to win a few events would be amazing and soak up all the excitement that comes with being on the World Tour. I want to enjoy my travels and explore along the way, I'm hoping to find some waves that I haven't yet surfed. I'm really excited for the upcoming event as I like watching everyone and the new rookies and seeing who's switched on for a great year."
Fitzgibbons will face rookie Laura Enever (AUS), 19, and replacement surfer Claire Bevilacqua (AUS), 28, in Round 1 of the Roxy Pro.
Silvana Lima (BRA), 26, former ASP Women's World Runner-Up, spent the off season recharging at home in Brazil, but the progressive Brazilian is keen to return to competition to take on the new generation of talent.
"Staying home with family is very good," Lima said. "I trained hard and I have some new equipment and I'm very excited to get the new season.Last year, I didn't start very well. After a few events, Iimproved, but the beginning of the year hurt me with a better result this year will not repeat the same mistake, I will give my best to accomplish my big dream. I'm anxious to see the new generation. It excites me greatly. I want to see radical surfing."
Lima battles Rebecca Woods (AUS), 26, and Pauline Ado (FRA), 20, in the opening round of competition.
Sofia Mulanovich (PER), 27, former ASP Women's World Champion, was another South American to capitalize on her native waves during the break, refining her abilities and working on her fitness.
"I have been home all my off season," Mulanovich said. "The waves have been amazing here, there has no been a flat days. I have also been doing a bit of physical training and a lot of meditation and Tai Chi. It feels really good and I feel good for this year. My goal is to improve my surfing and hopefully that gives me good results."
"Snapper is one of the most high-performance waves on tour so it is one of the funnest to surf," Mulanovich said. "Everyone loves snapper and I am sure all the girls are pumped to surf it. For sure, the ASP Women's World Champ is always the one to watch, but all the girls on tour are amazingly talented surfers and I think this year the level of women's surfing will be through the roof."
Mulanovich will take on Paige Hareb (NZL), 20, and Jacqueline Silva (BRA), 31, in the opening heat of the Roxy Pro.
The Roxy Pro Gold Coast will run from February 26 through March 9, 2011 and will be webcast LIVE via http://www.quiksilverpro.com
Running in conjunction with the women's event will be the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover, the opening event in the ASP World Title season.

Liz Phair
Just heard Batmobile and was very very impressed.
Listened to the next one suggested via youtube and it was dire.
Can anyone tell me if she has an album that is just lo fi guitar and her voice? I don't want the band arrangement stuff.
I can't stop listening to that song. I need more!
Like many people I only have Exile On Guyville. She's a famous
"one album wonder". Try an American band called Tsumani from the mid-90s. I really liked the lead singer's voice. I think her name was Jenny Toomey. She sounds a bit like Liz Phair. A Brilliant Mistake is the album to check out.
Yeah, I only have Exile in Guyville
The only Tsunami record I have is Deep End. Early 90's girls with guitars, how I miss thee.
Tsunami were great. I'll drag and drop A Brilliant Mistake to my mp3
now for the journey to work tomorrow. It's been a while since I heard them. To those who haven't heard of them, have a listen:
is on the Girly Sound tapes, which are her super lo-fi demo recordings before she signed with Matador and put out the brilliant Exile in Guyville. I really recommend having a listen to that album, it really is something else.
But if you're just looking her lo-fi guitar and voice then there is the odd song that crops up on her later albums, but nothing really like the Girly Sound stuff. Try "Chopsticks", the first track from Whip-Smart, although you probably won't like the rest of the album. That's a beautiful song, that is.
Exile is a great album.
I also have 2 Tsunami albums. Deep End and The Heart's Tremelo. Great records both.
I also only have Exile in Guyville
and it's a brilliant album, there's very little I dislike about it. GET THAT

How hot is Diego Boneta?
We've been obsessed with the Mexican actor since his days as a telenovela child actor. He's come a long way since those days, wowing us with his singing, dancing, and acting talents on TV, on stage and on the big screen.
Now, the Mexican has signed on to an exciting new project: the newest spokesmodel for Abercrombie & Fitch. The heartthrob bares (nearly) all in a sexy new campaign that'll leave you wanting more.

and the character string is possible stored as an .space (array) in the stack

The urine 24-hour volume test measures the amount of urine produced in a day. The amount of creatinine, protein, and other chemicals released into the urine during this period is often tested.
Alternative Names
Urine volume; 24-hour urine collection; Urine protein - 24 hour
How the Test is Performed
For this test, you must urinate into a special bag or container every time you use the bathroom for 24-hour period.
- On day 1, urinate into the toilet when you get up in the morning.
- Afterwards, collect all urine in a special container for the next 24 hours.
- On day 2, urinate into the container when you get up in the morning.
- Cap the container. Keep it in the refrigerator or a cool place during the collection period.
- Label the container with your name, the date, the time of completion, and return it as instructed.
For an infant:
Thoroughly wash the area around the urethra (the hole where urine flows out). Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end).
- For males, place the entire penis in the bag and attach the adhesive to the skin.
- For females, place the bag over the two folds of skin on either side of the vagina (labia). Put a diaper on the baby (over the bag).
Check the infant often, and change the bag after the infant has urinated. Empty the urine from the bag into the container provided by your doctor.
An active infant can cause the bag to move, so it may take more than one try to collect the sample.
When finished, label the container and return it as instructed.
How to Prepare for the Test
Certain drugs can also affect the test results. Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking certain medicines before the test. Never stop taking medicine without first talking to your doctor.
The following may also affect test results:
- Dehydration
- Any type of x-ray exam with dye (contrast material) within 3 days before the urine test
- Fluid from the vagina that gets into the urine
- Emotional stress
- Heavy exercise
- Urinary tract infection
How the Test will Feel
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
Your doctor may order this test if there are signs of damage to your kidney function on blood, urine, or imaging tests.
Urine volume is normally measured as a part of test that measures the amount of a substances passed in your urine in a day, such as:
Creatinine Sodium Potassium Nitrogen Protein
This test may also be done if you have polyuria (abnormally large volumes of urine), such as is seen in
Normal Results
The normal range for 24-hour urine volume is 800 to 2000 milliliters per day (with a normal fluid intake of about 2 liters per day).
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Disorders that cause
Some of the conditions that cause
Diabetes insipidus - renal
- Diabetes insipidus - central
- High fluid intake
- Some forms of kidney disease
- Use of diuretic medications

Unlock common sense in public spending
CAN WE handle the truth? More specifically, can we handle the truth when it is ambiguous? That is a question policymakers and the public face as they grapple with the best way forward on fiscal policy.
In troubling times, the desire for certainty is understandable, but it can also lead to hasty and ill-considered decisions.
The truth is that policymakers are operating in a world of uncertainty and risk.There is danger in applying too much fiscal stimulus: rising interest costs, dependence on foreign lenders, and the prospect of future inflationary bubbles. But there is also danger in withdrawing fiscal stimulus too fast: double-dip recession, rising unemployment, and deflation.
No one really knows the correct calculation but that is no reason to insist on a one-size-fits-all fiscal policy.
We have two distinct problems. The economy remains shaky in the near-term, and fiscal policy remains unsustainable in the long-term. These problems can, and should, be treated with different remedies.
The good news is that we can treat both problems at once if we set aside rigid ideological straitjackets. Fiscal stimulus need not have an adverse impact on economic growth over the long term, and long-term discipline need not have an adverse impact on economic activity in the short term. We don't need to sacrifice one to achieve the other, but we need to be clear about the trade-offs.
As Douglas Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office, recently said, "There is no intrinsic contradiction between providing additional fiscal stimulus today, while the unemployment rate is high and many factories and offices are underused, and imposing fiscal restraint several years from now, when output and employment will probably be close to their potential.''
This suggests that deficit-financed initiatives may still be appropriate for policies with the highest propensity to support the near-term recovery. Items that fit into this category include extended unemployment benefits and further, but temporary, aid to state and local governments. These policies would directly address serious needs created by the severe recession without adding to the long-term structural deficit.
At the federal level, we can hold down the size of near-term deficits and help engender public trust that tax dollars are not being wasted, by making every effort to identify savings from unnecessary programs.
That includes cutting narrowly targeted tax breaks that add to the complexity of the tax code without producing meaningful economic benefits. Such provisions divert resources from more pressing national needs and increase public cynicism about the fairness of the federal budget.
Again, there is no inconsistency in cutting some under-performing programs while boosting spending (or cutting taxes) in areas where it will do more good.
We can also insist that as a condition for federal aid, state governments prepare fiscal recovery plans that show progress in meeting sustainability goals. That would allow funds to keep flowing where needed while acting as a catalyst for necessary fiscal reforms.
Long-term planning, however, is not just a state responsibility. The federal budget is already on an unsustainable track. More deficit spending will add to the long-term problem by increasing interest costs and diverting capital that might otherwise be used to help grow the economy.
Even with a robust recovery in the next few years, the pre-existing mismatch between future benefit promises and current levels of taxation would leave us on an unsustainable path. No amount of fiscal stimulus will solve that problem. This makes it all the more important to combine near-term deficit spending with a credible plan to bring our long-term structural deficit under control.
Balancing the risks, we should keep assistance flowing in those areas where it is most needed and can take effect most swiftly, and, as soon as possible, begin a planned phase-in of spending cuts and tax increases that will bring the structural deficit under control.
Of course, this will require some compromise.
Can we handle that?
Robert L. Bixby is executive director of The Concord Coalition.

InfoWorld's Savio Rodrigues views Red Hat's notable marketing shift from low cost to high value as an "important shift in the ongoing evolution of open source software vendors' business models". Long left in the low-cost ghetto of enterprise IT mind share, RHEL is being pushed for its technical innovations, performance enhancements, and customer-requested improvements, rather than as a solution for cash-strapped shops. This shift, and the underlying improvements to RHEL 6.0, give Red Hat a legitimate shot against Microsoft, and open source a new model for competing with proprietary products. After all, focusing on low cost unnecessary limits the growth of open source business, creating a 'low-cost ceiling' that indirectly dissuades many IT shops from considering open source products.

text: Mexico announces new transportation and telecommunications investment program Communications Alert Latin America Alert Project Finance Alert Share this 17 JUL 2013 By: Gerardo Ruiz Esparza, the Mexican Minister of Communications and Transportation, has announced a new Investment Program for Transportation and Telecommunication for fiscal years 2013-2018. The total amount of investment projected for this program is M$1.3 trillion (at this writing, about US$100 billion). The program, announced on July 15, 2013, will include both public investment and public-private partnership (PPP) projects. The Mexican Federal Government intends to attract private capital from domestic and foreign sources through a PPP model. The program will include 15 highways, 29 roads, 16 road bypasses, seven bridges, three passenger train systems, six BRTs (urban bus rapid transport systems), four cargo train systems, seven seaports and seven airports, as well as projects aiming to providing higher quality, lower cost telecommunication services in Mexico. The government plans to build about 5,410 kilometers of new highways and roadways. Among the planned construction projects are the Siglo XXI project (a toll road connecting Morelos-Puebla); toll roads connecting Guanajuato-San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato, Tuxtla-Villaflores in Chiapas, Tuxpan-Tampico in Veracruz and Tamaulipas, Cardel-Poza Rica in Veracruz, and Atizapán-Atlacomulco in the State of Mexico; and, in the southern part of the country, roads connecting Pachuca with Huejutla and Comitán to the Mexico-Guatemala border. The Mexican Federal Government also plans to provide funding for the Indios Verdes-Santa Clara elevated highway. In all, the government plans to construct and modernize around 19,000 kilometers of highways and roadways. Also part of the new investment program are the México-Querétaro, México-Toluca and Mérida-Riviera Maya railroad projects; expansion of the Monterrey and Mexico City subway systems; and construction of a light rail system in Guadalajara. In total, the government intends to build and modernize more than 350 kilometers of railroad tracks. Port expansion is another aspect of the program, with plans for the ports of Veracruz, Altamira, Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas. In total, the government plans to build nine cargo specialized terminals and one cruise terminal. With respect to air transportation, the program includes the modernization of 6 airports throughout the country and the construction of a new Mexico City airport. The specifics of that project have not yet been decided. In the area of telecommunications, the government has committed to providing higher quality, lower cost telecommunication services throughout Mexico. The government plans to install a shared network on the 700 Mhz band and to launch two new telecommunications satellites. In addition, the program will include a public bid process for two nationwide free television channels and a public television network. Construction on the new projects is expected to begin in early 2014. For more information about these plans, please contact: Kelly Tubman Hardy FROM THE ARCHIVE Mexico enacts amendments to Federal Labor Law

When the Atheist Alliance International decided to run a census of the non-religious around the world, someone decided you shouldn't take part. Not only was the site taken down with a denial of service attack, but it stayed down for several days. It couldn't, however, stay down forever.
You can now take the survey again. It's just six questions, and the results tell you who and where we are. Go be counted.

This week I enjoyed a couple of days in lovely Copenhagen with my sister, mother and grandmother. My mother and grandmother usually goes on a trip together every spring, and this year my sister and I was invited along. This time of year is a time when you really see the differences between Norway and Denmark. The flight only last for about one hour, but in Norway I was so amazed when I found a blooming tulip in my garden. Here are the tulips in Copenhagen:

For the first time in 30 years, Whiteside County voters will elect a new state's attorney. It is an important decision, and experience and qualifications should guide voters. As a candidate for state's attorney, I welcome the opportunity to introduce myself.
I grew up on the west end of Sterling in a working-class neighborhood. My father, Jack Koehler, was an electrician at the local steel mill, and my mother, Carol Koehler, was a registered nurse.
Throughout junior and senior high school, I delivered newspapers, picked beans, babysat, worked retail, and did other odd jobs in order to pay my school tuition. I paid for college and law school by working various jobs ranging from waitressing to working in the local steel mill as a laborer.
As your state's attorney, I would continue to exhibit the same strong work ethic.
For more than 27 years, I have been a trial attorney, usually appearing in court on a daily basis. I began my career as an assistant state's attorney in Whiteside County handling traffic, misdemeanors, felonies and juvenile matters. I also assisted in providing advice to the county board and supervising other personnel.
I am the only candidate with 13 years experience as an assistant prosecutor.
Fifteen years ago, I began a general law practice. This afforded me the opportunity to learn the administrative and budgetary aspects of running a successful law firm. As your state's attorney, I would be able to wear the many hats of the top prosecutor immediately.
During my legal career, I have handled every type of criminal case, ranging from petty offenses to the most serious felonies. I have represented clients in many different civil matters and in cases on appeal. I have tried numerous cases before judges and juries. I have served in administrative positions, both in the public and private sectors. As your state's attorney, I would have the necessary skills and experience on the first day in office.
I have a vested interest in Whiteside County. I was raised in Sterling and have many family members and friends locally. I am involved in several charitable and community organizations. Many of you may know me from my volunteer work with Honor Flight, WeCAN, Jon Russell Boxing Club, Sacred Heart Church, Taste of Fiesta, and other groups. As your state's attorney, I would continue to be an active participant in community service.
The safety and well-being of our residents is my primary concern. The gap between the arrest of violent offenders and consequences received should be closed, and severe penalties should be swiftly imposed.
Likewise, resources of the county should not be exhausted on non-violent offenders or those who make first-time, minor mistakes. I have already explored the steps necessary to begin specialty courts focusing on drug, mental health and veterans' issues. As your state's attorney, I would implement cost-effective programs designed to address those concerns.

(Preparing for) Pharmacy
Program Description
The Associate in Science Transfer (AS-T) degree is designed to prepare students for entrance into a bachelor degree program in the sciences. The primary focus of the AS-T degree is completion of the necessary math and science requirements for junior standing at Washington state baccalaureate institutions. Students are required to take additional general education courses after transfer to fulfill university requirements. In addition, specific courses are designated within the AS-T degree to prepare students for Pharmacy School. While a bachelor degree is not required for admission to a Pharmacy program, more than half of all applicants have a bachelor's degree. Students may also choose to follow the Associate in Arts--Individualized Plan (AA-IP) to design their own course schedule.
Pharmacy — What is it?
Pharmacology is the science of drugs. Pharmacologists study the interaction of chemicals with the human body to help treat and prevent disease. They dispense, monitor and evaluate drugs that are prescribed by doctors and other health care professionals; they also provide consultation to patients and medical staff on the selection and effects of drugs. In addition, Pharmacists are responsible for security of controlled substances and disposal of hazardous wastes to ensure patient safety and public health.
Areas of study in Pharmacy:
Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Quantitative Analysis, Preventative Medicine, Toxicology, Infectious Disease, Patient Assessment, Drug Design and Development, Medication Management, Pharmacotherapy of Medical Disorders, Drug Actions, Interactions and Side Effects, Patient Safety, Therapeutics of Special Populations, Public Health and Pharmacy Law.
Career Opportunities — What can I do with a Graduate Degree Pharmacy?
Graduates in pharmacology develop strong scientific, critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills to work in science and health care fields. Careers include chemical/pharmaceutical sales, pharmaceutical consultants, research scientist, industrial chemist, crime lab analyst, forensic scientist, and professors.
Potential employers include:
Pharmaceutical Companies, Drug and Grocery Stores, Hospitals, Clinics, Medicine and Manufacturing Companies, Agriculture and Biotechnology Industries, State and Government Agencies, Colleges and Universities. For more, please visit Career Counseling.
Transfer Possibilities — Where can I transfer?
The AS-T makes it possible for students to transfer to a number of public and private colleges and universities in the U.S. with junior standing. Students can transfer to any college/university to pursue a bachelor's degree. An Associate Degree from Shoreline makes it possible for students to transfer to public and private colleges and universities throughout the U.S. with junior standing. Shoreline also has agreements with several universities to make transferring even easier. For transfer within Washington State, we offer a special degree called the AA-DTA. For international students, Shoreline also has conditional admission agreements that allow a student to be simultaneously accepted by Shoreline and a university of the student's choosing.

I just submitted a proposal, selling "design solutions" rather than hours. Funny/strange/sad how designers of all stripes will undervalue their work, or be susceptible to others devaluing their work. I didn't fall into this scheme, this time. Broke out the project into four phases with 'a la carte' pricing, but made sure that the first two phases were more or less mandatory in order to get the project completed. The last phase was CAD which would be estimated and budgeted on an hourly basis rather than a lump sum. As a manager now I have direct insight into how long projects take even the most efficient designers, and the sad truth is that a lot of freelancers are making very little compared to where they should be.
However - we shall see what the potential client says in return. In which case, the lunchbreath graphic rule shall apply:

I like to format my code like so (this example is in Python but I do that in C/C++ as well):
def func(self, argument_1,
When I hit the Return key after typing "argument_1,", I would like the cursor to be in the right position to type "argument_2" at the position shown above. Same for each line after that. Unless I am mistaken, Sublime Text does not provide that feature.

Inspiration: Pale Blue Bedrooms
Having recently chosen the loveliest of pale blues (Benjamin Moore "Blue Bonnet") for the new paint color in our bedroom, I've been trolling around for blue bedroom inspiration and ideas. There are so many reasons pale blue is a great wall color in a bedroom. Check out some inspiring examples after the jump.
Some thoughts on pale blue walls, inspired by the lovely bedrooms pictured above (from left to right):
• 1 Pale blue is a great backdrop for graphic print accents in orange or red. It also goes beautifully with warm wood tones in furniture or flooring.
• 2 Soft blues are excellent for bedrooms because they're calming, encouraging sleep, but also cheerful and pleasant for the morning.
• 3 Pale blue with white trim is a classic pairing that brings a very country-chic energy into a room without being too cute or cloying.
• 4 A blue with a bit of green feels sort of "old world" and has a nice femininity.
• 5 A brighter, more saturated blue looks great paired with a darker green in the olive family. Bold pairings like this might seem tough to pull off, but with lots of quirky personal touches, the room feels well-balanced.
Got pale blue walls in your bedroom? How do you like them? Please share!

Next-generation HMI
The new Maple Systems HMI5121P offers advanced features in a durable aluminum enclosure at a low cost. Maple Systems introduces the latest in a series of popular human machine interfaces (HMIs), the HMI5121P. This new model is equipped with a bright 12.1-in. thin-film transistor (TFT) touchscreen capable of displaying up to 16.2 million colors on a 1,024 x 768-pixel screen. Light-emitting diode (LED) backlight of the display ensures a long lifespan at a high level (500 nits) of brightness. The touchscreen is housed in a sleek aluminum enclosure that is compact and resistant to corrosion. This model has "more power under the hood" by taking advantage of the latest technological improvements in microprocessor design. The HMI5121P uses an efficient 800 MHz microprocessor designed for graphic animation, video, and heavy data processing.
This HMI connects to a long list of PLCs, drives, and motion controllers through two serial ports, USB ports, a CAN bus port, and an Ethernet port (including support for BACnet). The new EZwarePlus configuration software makes it much easier to import tag data from leading PLC manufacturers like Rockwell Automation and Siemens, so there is no need to maintain separate tag database information. The micro SD slot can be used to log data or capture alarm history. The two video input ports allow connections to two motion cameras to the HMI for remote monitoring to improve product quality or to capture alarm conditions. Play video files using the built-in media player for training or instructional purposes. The audio output port is available to connect an external sound system.
The EZwarePlus configuration software has many enhanced options, including increased recipe functionality, advanced macro support, and better diagnostic tools to make it easier to program and maintain your HMI. With the sophisticated security options, you can now manage user accounts and privilege settings to ensure that only authorized employees are allowed to perform sensitive tasks.
E-mail messages can be configured to include screen shots to remote personnel alerting them of alarm conditions in the plant. With the EasyAccess feature, you can easily set up remote monitoring and control of your HMI from any networked PC. The HMI also supports VNC (virtual network computing), allowing you to monitor the HMI from a handheld device or smartphone.
A 7.0-in. model (HMI5070P) and a 15.0-in. model (HMI5150P) also are available. The HMI5000P Series units are NEMA4 (IP66) rated with CE and RoHS certification. These models will also carry UL listing, pending certification.

Great Purge
On 15 August 1936, the Great Purge began in Moscow with the trial of 'the Trotskyite-Zinovievite Terrorist Centre'.[1]
Throughout the decade of the 1930s the duel between CPSU General Secretary Josef Stalin and Leon Trotsky occupied the centre of the Soviet political scene. From various places of exile in Turkey, France and Norway, Trotsky ceaselessly attacked Stalin. The Bolshevik hierarchy - Trotskyists, Zinovievists, Bukharinists and Stalinists listened intently to every word of the founder of the Red Army. In Bolshevik eyes, Trotsky represented the sole alternative to Stalin and Stalinism; and so the whole Stalinist propaganda machine concentrated immense eftorts upon discrediting him.[2] Stalin carried the anti-Trotsky campaign into every sphere of thought and activity both within the borders of the Soviet Union and abroad, among the Comintern apparatus abroad. The campaign reached its climax in 1936-38 when the world was treated to the spectacle of the Moscow Trials, of which Trotsky, was 'tried' in absentia.
Nearly all the leaders of the October Revolution, all members of Lenin's Politbureau, most commanders of the Red Army, scientists and writers were denounced as terrorists, murderers, and wreckers, as foreign spies and traitors, and executed.[3] Andrey Vyshinsky was the Prosecutor General.
During the Terror 3 million people were arrested on various and often made-up charges, while 750,000 were executed. Due to the interrogation techniques of the NKVD (later, KGB), which often were torturous, most of those arrested confessed and were sent to work camps, called the Gulag for 10 years and sometimes even 25. Here, prisoners were forced to labor in mines, to log forests, or to do construction. Few lived through their sentences.
Stalin eviscerated the high command of the Red Army, killing 90% of the senior leadership. This would have disastrous consequences for the USSR in 1941 when Germany invaded the country. Those responsible for the apparatus of state oppression were not spared, either: of the NKVD's 809 high officials, only 43 lived through the purges. According to KGB defector Alexander Orlov, more than 3,000 NKVD officers were shot in 1937 alone.[4]
The leadership of the communist party was persecuted as well. For example, in 1934 130 members of the 139-member Central Committee were arrested. The Terror forever made Soviets afraid to speak out against the government, and also made sure that no one but Stalin could ever rule the Soviet Union as effectively.
Propaganda in the United States
Mary Van Kleeck in the Institute for Pacific Relations journal, Pacific Affairs espoused the official Soviet version of the Stalinist terror. KGB Operative Owen Lattimore defended the show trials in Moscow in the same publication as "an evidence of democracy."[5]

Iran and Arabia: A Gulf Apart
The relationship between Arabia and Persia can be summarized as one of stop-starting antagonism, the pair lurching between states of 'best of friends' and 'worst of neighbors'! A clash of cultures, religious sects and long-standing stigma of the other.
Arabs regard Persians with a long-standing suspicion and mistrust. They harbor the fear of possible Iranian hegemony in the Persian Gulf. This appalls them more so as they view their Persian neighbors as 'knowingly' devient. (or mis-led)
Persians see Arabs as inferior and regard them with an equally matched distaste. Continue reading below »
Each likes to think of the same Gulf ocean as named respectively 'Arabian' and 'Persian' - which causes added tension and fuel to the conflict.
At various points in the last century, Arabia and Persia have peacefully coexisted or bitterly battled. In a mostly stable but invariably tense relationship, they have remained wary and guarded of one another. Saudi Arabia (SA or KSA) and Iran established diplomatic relations in 1928. However, this vacillating state of affairs worsened after 1979 when the new Islamic Republic of Iran became viewed as a threat to the region. 1979, it could be said precipitated, a deterioration in Iran-Arab relations.
Some view the clash of the Gulf Titans as that of Monarchy at conflict with Islamic power, after Iran's monarchy fell to a 'supreme' brand of religious zeal coming into political power. Ayatollah Khomeini assumed the religious lead as the Shia cleric taking people-inspired power.
What's more, Ayatollah Khumeini was open about his intention to export the revolution to other parts of the Muslim world. Regional monarchies beware!
The diplomatic and economic isolation of Iran intensified during the Iraq-Iran war in which the late Saddam Hussein took on Ayatollah Khomeini.
Iran and Arabia: the twain shall never meet?
Unknown to many, in the 1940s, there was an Arab enclave or pocket in Iran -- Arab tribes called this Arabistan (Ahwaz). They lived among the overwhelmingly Persian population, struggling to keep their Arabic language alive.
Light in the Dark
In 2001, Iran and Saudi Arabia signed a "major security accord to combat, drug trafficking and organized crime".
In 2008, the Saudi King Abdullah invited former Iranian President Ali Rafsanjani to visit Saudi Arabia for the purpose of attending an Islamic conference. Rafsanji pointed out that the opportunity was a way "Iran and Saudi Arabia can resolve differences in the Muslim world."
Iran and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have enjoyed mutually beneficial bilateral relations marked by economic agreements for many years, despite their long-term territorial dispute (see slideshow for more).
Other Arab nations outside of the Gulf or mainland of acknowledged Arab Sunni turf, like the North African Arabs, generally enjoyed closer relations with Iran due to limited historical connection between one another. That said, Algeria grew upset with Iran in 1998 when Ahmed Ouyahia, the Algerian prime minister, accused Iran of supporting Islamist groups, which were allegedly behind "massacres" in his country.
Common multilateral forums, aside from the exclusive GCC kept Persia and Arabia bound together. For instance, both Iran and the UAE are members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, and have cooperated through these channels and outside of them.
Iran after the 90s was seen as more docile
In the later 90s, Mohammad Khatami, came to power and tried to mend damaged ties between Iran and Arab neighbors and the US.
Iranian and Egyptian officials voice optimism that they will be able to fully restore diplomatic relations severed in 1979. (see slideshow)
The Egyptian historical fall-out with Iran after 1979 surrounding Egypt's shetering of the late Shah and its ramifications, is not without up-to-date tensions involving Palestine, Israel and the Egyptian role.
When Egypt obstructed Hamas operatives trying to smuggle weapons into Gaza through a recently-destroyed border fence in Rafah, Iran accused Egypt of caving in to Israeli pressure. In 2008, Iran and Hezbollah accused Egypt of colluding with Israel in the hope that the IDF could destroy Hamas. Rumor abounded that Egypt had been secretly co-operating with Tel Aviv in maintaining the closure of the Gaza Strip to pressure Hamas.
Egypt suggested Iran was the problem in 2009: The Egyptian foreign minister says Iran is trying to control the Middle East, effectively signaling a further deterioration between Cairo and Tehran.
"The Iranians are trying to spread and impose their specific ideology on the region, and they are using some of the Palestinians ... for Iranian purposes," he tells the media. He further attests that Egypt is being targeted by Iran, Syria and Hezbollah.
2011 sees tentative Arabian-Persian ties further strained by Arabian countries supporting the international community's sanctions against Iran.
Relations were also hampered by the Islamic Republic's proxy support of Shia protestors in Bahrain and the UAE's denunciation of Iran's activities, though the Gulf neighbors have worked to restore relations.
Iran has been severely critical of Bahrain hosting the US navy Fifth Fleet within the Persian Gulf.
Persia-Levant alliance:
Iran and Syria have had a strategic alliance, partially due to their common animosity towards Saddam Hussein and the Assad regime's Shiite faith (though the Arab national politics of Syria's ruling regime are at odds with Iran's Persian ideology.) And then there's Hezbollah. For a more involved picture, take a tour of the above slide-panel.

Boston Marathon bomber manhunt: One in custody, second on the run, reports say
Posted on 2013-04-19 by contributor001
Police search for suspects in Watertown, Mass. (Mario Tama/Getty Images)
BOSTON—A late-night police chase and shootout has ended with one marathon bombing suspect being captured here, the Boston Globe reported. Meanwhile, an intense manhunt is underway for a second suspect in the terror case.
Federal agents swarmed neighboring Watertown after local police were involved in a car chase and shootout with at least two suspects. During the pursuit, officers could be heard on police radio traffic describing the suspects as having grenades and other explosives.
One reportedly escaped capture, and another was shot by police and taken to a local hospital. Another man was seen sprawled on the ground in footage shown on WHDH-TV.
The FBI has not confirmed a connection between the events in Watertown to the twin explosions that killed 3 people and injured 170 others at the Boston Marathon on Monday. But according to an alert sent issued to fellow officers, the suspect who remained at large was referred to as the "one with the white hat" seen in the photos released by the bureau on Thursday.
The suspect, described on scanner traffic as a "white male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with black curly hair, possibly with an assault rifle and explosives," as police in Watertown, Newton, Brighton and Cambridge were put on high alert.
"We are aware of the law enforcement activity in the greater Boston area," Boston FBI spokesman Greg Comcowich said in a statement to Yahoo News. "The situation is ongoing. We are working with local authorities to determine what happened."
[Related: FBI releases photos of suspects in Boston Marathon bombings]
Worried residents in Watertown, a suburb about 10 miles from downtown Boston, were ordered to stay indoors and turn off their cell phones out of fear that they could trigger improvised explosive devices.
"Suspect 2" (FBI.gov)
Dozens of police officers, many of them off-duty, searched backyards in search of the second suspect, and a police perimeter of several blocks was established. K9 units and SWAT teams searched homes on Spruce Street as officers searched an SUV the suspects had abandoned.
The Watertown shootout occurred after a shooting at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology late Thursday. A police officer was shot and taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The campus was placed on lockdown for several hours, and students were told to remain indoors.
Shortly before 2 a.m. Friday, MIT issued a statement on its website saying that the suspect "in this evening's shooting is no longer on campus. It is now safe to resume normal activities. Please remain vigilant in the coming hours."
At approximately 3:30 a.m., Massachusetts State Police issued a plea on Twitter for residents of Watertown to lock their doors and not open them for anyone as they searched backyards and exteriors of houses there.
"Residents in and around Watertown should stay in their residences," the alert read. "Do NOT answer door unless it is an identified police officer."

A NEIGHBOUR of the grandmother of murdered schoolgirl Tia Sharp has denied wasting police time.
Paul Meehan, 40, from Croydon, south London, appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court today and entered a not guilty plea.
He is accused of causing wasteful employment of the police by making a false report that he had information linked to an inquiry on August 6 last year.
Wearing a dark suit, shirt and tie, he spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address and deny the offence during the short hearing.
He was released on bail and will next appear at the same court on May 3 for a one-day trial.
Meehan is the neighbour of Tia's grandmother, Christine Sharp, whose boyfriend, Stuart Hazell, is due to stand trial for the 12-year-old's murder later this year.
Tia's body was found in the loft of her grandmother's house in New Addington, south London, in August last year, more than a week after she went missing.
Hazell, 37, from New Addington, is charged with murdering the schoolgirl between August 2 and 11.
He is due to face trial in May.

Planet 51 is a galactic sized alien adventure comedy from the writer of "Shrek" and "Shrek 2", the story revolves around American astronaut Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker who lands on Planet 51 thinking he's the first person to step foot there. To his surprise he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world, reminiscent of a cheerfully innocent 1950s America, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders...like Chuck! With the help of his robot companion "Rover", and his new friend Lem, Chuck must navigate his way through the dazzling, but bewildering, landscape of Planet 51 in order to escape becoming a permanent part of the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum.
The Planet 51 game will take the form of an entertaining mission-based driving game with various characters from the film available to play. The game allows audiences to immerse themselves into this amazing vibrant world, and truly experience the hours of fun that Planet 51 has to offer!
This partnership demonstrates SEGA's strategy to strengthen its portfolio of games based on movie licenses. SEGA have previously partnered with Marvel Studios to create games for a number of their popular long running comic series, this includes the recently released, and hugely successful Iron Man film. Pyro Studios have previously worked on the highly acclaimed Commandos line of WWII games. Planet 51 will be Pyro Studios' first exploration into the movie genre.
Planet 51 is scheduled for theatrical release in the United States on November 20, 2009 by Sony Pictures, and around the world by leading independent distributors.
