Build.MN has details on all of the proposed projects
Sifting through the vast amount of information collected by the hundreds of projects requesting state funding for capital improvements could seem like an overwhelming task. The Minnesota Senate Bonding Committee is launching a website to address this issue. Build.MN is an easy to navigate resource, with project summaries, insights from key leaders and elected officials, and opportunities to join the conversation.
Senator LeRoy Stumpf (DFL-Plummer), chair of the Senate Bonding Committee, said, "We invite everyone to visit Build.MN, check out a project and keep coming back. We all benefit when more people are engaged in the capital investment process. Let us know your thoughts and help us #BuildMN."
Senator David Senjem (R-Rochester), ranking Minority Member of the Senate Bonding Committee, said, "The bricks and mortar needs of Minnesota are many and varied. Senate Republicans look forward to working with Senator Stumpf and our DFL colleagues in fashioning a bonding bill that not only works to address these needs but is able to garner broad bipartisan support. I am optimistic in our ability to put together a good bill."
The Senate Bonding Committee is on Facebook facebook.com/mnsencapinvest and Twitter twitter.com/mnsencapinvest. Follow the conversation on Twitter at #BuildMN.

cflib.org has a function called ListDistinct. Get it. Then build your list without worrying about duplicates and use this function when you are done.

Thanks Dan. I didn't find it on the site you mentioned, but a Google search did take me to:
Not sure if it's up to date, it was dated 2002. I took a look at the CFM that came with it,heres the code inside it, pretty much how I would have written it manually in CF, I think that it would possibly just use too many resources to keep looking over the list. Here's the code
<CFPARAM name="Attributes.list" default="">
<CFPARAM name="Attributes.return_vname" default="distinct_list">
<CFPARAM name="Attributes.sort" default="No">
<CFSET temp_list="">
<CFLOOP list="#Attributes.list#" index="i">
<CFIF ListFindNoCase(temp_list,i) EQ 0>
<CFSET temp_list = ListAppend(temp_list,i)>
<CFIF Attributes.sort EQ "Yes">
<CFSET "Caller.#Attributes.return_vname#" = ListSort(temp_list, "Text")>
<CFSET "Caller.#Attributes.return_vname#" = temp_list>
3. Re: Checking for duplicates in a listappendDan Bracuk Mar 11, 2012 2:50 PM (in response to ACS LLC)
If you want to use it as it is, you'll also need teh ListSort function. It's in the same library.
4. Re: Checking for duplicates in a listappendACS LLC Mar 11, 2012 4:07 PM (in response to Dan Bracuk)
Ah, I didn't notice that. So regardless of how I use it I presume I'll need that?
the instructions just had it set up as a custom tag
5. Re: Checking for duplicates in a listappendBKBK Mar 24, 2012 5:19 AM (in response to ACS LLC)
ACS LLC, you could translate the custom tag into a function, something like this
<cffunction name="removeDuplicates" access="public" output="no" returntype="string" hint="This function will take a list and remove all duplicate values from it.">
list (required): input list
sort (optional): perform a text-sort on the list? Yes or No. Default is No.
<cfargument name="list" required="true" >
<cfargument name="sort" required="false" default="no">
<cfset var returnList = "">
<cfset var temp_list = "">
<cfloop list="#arguments.list#" index="i">
<cfif listfindnocase(temp_list,i) eq 0>

Maybe Sandy Alderson believes the Mets might be ready to compete this year.
That was my first impression – perhaps wishful thinking – after reading an ESPN report they are considering signing former Detroit closer Jose Valverde to replace Frank Francisco. No problems there. Actually, I have no problem with anybody replacing Francisco, who was a bad signing.
Valverde saved 35 games last year for the Tigers before unraveling and was replaced in the postseason by a committee pen. Valverde's agent is Scott Boras, but the Mets say they need this on their terms, with a reported $4 million base plus incentives. Valverde earned $9 million last year, but with how he finished nobody will bite on that figure.
With spring training less than two weeks away – my, where did the winter go? – Valverde falls under the category of beggars can't be choosers. If he's signed and does well, he can try the market again. There are always a multitude of relievers every winter.
Reportedly, the Mets thought of asking Roy Oswalt to convert to closer like John Smoltz, but he was cool to the idea. He might have second thoughts if he doesn't get any offers. Actually, if the Mets are in a spending mode, why not invite Oswalt and give him a minor league contract to start? They signed Shaun Marcum to a one-year deal as the fifth starter, but does anybody believe the Mets will make it through the season with only five starters? Not happening.
As Alderson attempts to build a bullpen at the last minute, he should not consider bringing back Francisco Rodriguez, who punched his girlfriend's father at Citi Field, hurt himself and was traded to Milwaukee. The Mets don't need that headache.
Evidently, this does not bode well for Bobby Parnell's future with the Mets. He's had several chances but spit the bit. It was thought he could get another chance if Francisco – who was injured at the end of last season – faltered again.
Parnell pitched well in place of Francisco, but there was admittedly no pressure on him. If Alderson thought the Mets could not be competitive this year, it would have been the perfect opportunity to force-feed the role to Parnell. If I'm Parnell, I'd be wanting to leave town.
By adding Valverde, Alderson believes the Mets could make something of the summer, but even with an improved bullpen there remains an enormous hole in the outfield, a thin bench and several questions in the rotation.

Francis McNab: Ahead of his time or 100 years too late?
Here is a talk I gave at Ringwood Uniting Church on Sunday 15th March 2009.
It draws heavily on the early chapters of Resurrection and Discipleship: Interpretive Models, Biblical Reflections, Theological Consequences by Thorwald Lorenzen. The talk is vastly simplified compared to the book, errors are my own.
If you are not interested in the current debate within the Uniting Church in Victoria, and are more interested in the theology, skip ahead to the section "Traditional".
Francis McNab: Ahead of his time or 100 years too late?
Paul Dyson
There has been much heated debate about the advertising campaign launched by Francis McNab of Collins Street Uniting Church. I think much of it has been people talking at cross purposes generating more heat than light. So I thought today we could step back a little and have a look at the theological frameworks behind the positions of the people in the debate. So in a spirit of cool and calm reflection I wanted to entitle this talk:
Is McNab a Nazi?
However, after taking counsel from Elva and Stan I changed the title to:
Francis McNab: Ahead of his time or 100 years too late?
Francis McNab spent $120,000 on an advertising campaign which included billboards stating: "The Ten Commandments, the most negative document ever written". He also said that Abraham was probably a concoction, Moses a mass murderer and Jesus Christ, very important, but not necessarily the son of God. He calls for a New Faith, and he comes up with his own new 10 commandments.
The Synod meeting last year responded criticising him for causing deep offense to Christians, Jews and Muslims. I found this response somewhat obtuse. It's a bit like getting the mafia for tax evasion – sure they did it but it sort of misses the point. Isn't there some larger issue going on here than just causing offence.
I also have problems when one side says the other is causing offence to a third party. It is a great way to shut down debate, rather than encourage it and have the ideas properly aired. I have not found much engagement with what McNab actually said. Apparently his views are either obviously good or obviously bad.
I'll have a look a little later on, but now back to the unofficial title of this talk: Is McNab a Nazi?
On the internet there is a Law known as Godwin's law. It states "As an Internet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." Any debate on the internet of a reasonable length will involve someone saying the other side is just like Hitler. And at this point, the discussion should really end. It's run it's course, because where can you go after the other side says, "You're just like Hitler".
Now I am thoroughly sick of the debate between Liberals and Fundamentalists that is continuing with the latest McNab controversy, so I am very keen to compare one side with the Nazis so we can declare any further discussion pointless and move on. However, I have been dissuaded from making such a rash comparison, so I'm glad to see that others have beaten me to it.
By highlighting the offence caused to Jews the Synod was getting close to a Hitler comparison, but they didn't quite go that far. So it wasn't the end of the debate. So I kept looking.
In the church we are a bit more nuanced in our discussion so you have to read between the lines to find it. But I was pleased to see in February Crosslight a letter from Rev Dr Dorothy Lee, lecturer at Trinity Theological College. She writes:
The 'new faith' Macnab proposes is not new at all. Some of his views go back to heretical movements in the second century. Other views derive from the liberalism of nineteenth century Europe, particularly Germany – views that the great Swiss theologian, Karl Barth, so forthrightly exposed in the early decades of the twentieth century. Barth showed how liberal theologians had become throughly bourgeois in their values, completely conformed to the spirit of the world.
Let me just spell that out for you. Dorothy Lee talks of views: Completely conformed to the spirit of early twentieth century Germany. Or, to put it more plainly: McNab is a Nazi.
Hooray, someone has said it. Perhaps we can all go home now, and get on with more fruitful debate.
But I'm afraid she was being too subtle, so I'll have to explore these issues further. So lets look at what is going on here.
I'm going to outline four theological models or positions. These models are in historical order and in my opinion they get better as they go along. The first is the worst and the last is the best.
So a bit of concentration will be required, but as most of you grew up before the invention of television I don't think it will be a problem. For the rest of you, I've made overheads that you can watch. [Successive overheads contained the single words 'overheads', 'that', 'you', 'can', 'watch'.] I hope I have catered for everyone.
Let's begin with a common enemy: the first model, which I will kindly call the "Traditional View". But you may know it as "Fundamentalist", "Literalist", "Conservative". It's the view, if you grew up in the Liberal tradition like me, the view that we love to hate. It makes us cringe to think that non-Christians think we are all like this. Let me make a few points about it.
Start with the question: How can we make the faith intelligible to the person in the street?
Answer: Ask them to read the Bible. It contains the testimony of credible witnesses. They tell of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. A rational person cannot doubt these witness because they were there, so what they tell is true. God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. The tomb was empty, the bodily risen Christ appeared to people, proving His divinity and proving the inspiration of the Bible as God's word. Therefore the Bible is inerrant and its plain meaning is the Truth.
Faith is seen as accepting that Jesus was bodily raised from the dead, meaning he came back to life, walked around. You also need to accept that Mary was a Virgin, Jesus could perform miracles that broke physical laws etc.
I think we are all familiar with this, so I'll keep moving. But let me make one point about the attitude to the wider culture. In this model the church is at odds with the culture and stands apart from it.
In nineteenth century Europe the second model arose: Liberalism. This is the model that Francis McNab is working out of, taken to its logical conclusion. And when you take anything to its logical conclusion you're looking for trouble.
Let's start with the same question as before: How can we make the faith intelligible to the person in the street?
Well, the average person knows generally about science, they know people can't walk on water, that virgins don't give birth, that dead people are not resurrected. If we want them (and ourselves) to have faith we can't go against science. They may also know about historical criticism: that you can't believe everything you read, and that actually helps us. If we look critically at the Bible we can get rid of all the superstition and get to what lies behind all that, the kernel of truth of Christianity.
It also answers another criticism of the Traditional model. Should faith really be about accepting an historical fact? Shouldn't faith have more to do with belief in God than in history? Shouldn't the struggle of faith concern forgiveness, repentance, belief in God, rather than accepting a supernatural event? Isn't that just getting in the way of faith in God? Our faith must appeal to reason, in particular scientific and historical critical reason, if it is to have any relevance.
This sort of position was argued by Friedrich Schleiermacher at the beginning of the nineteenth century and continued its development throughout the 1800s. It was carried on by Rudolf Bultmann and Paul Tillich in the 20th century.
So forget about the Virgin Birth, the miracles of Jesus. Rather than focus on what happened to Jesus in the resurrection, which would contradict science, focus on the faith of the disciples after the resurrection.
Or forget the resurrection altogether and concentrate on the life and teachings of Jesus. Perhaps we could remove all superstition and find the true "historical" Jesus.
This has been liberating for people who find that they can be Christians without having to deny science and accept a pre-enlightenment world view. Particularly people who are questioning their Fundamentalist faith.
And Liberalism is strongly adopted by the Jesus Seminar, whose members feature prominently in the series "Saving Jesus" that we studied in our faith sharing groups. And you probably also know that Francis McNab has been honoured by the Jesus Seminar. And so from this position he says that Abraham was probably a concoction, Moses a mass murderer and so on.
Not that long ago the Jesus Seminar engaged in yet another fruitless attempt to find the historical Jesus. I say fruitless because, as with past quests for the historical Jesus, you end up with a Jesus who looks like the people searching for him. In this case a wise sage or teacher who is usually calm and measured, not unlike an academic at the sort of university where the Jesus seminar people spend their time.
As the Liberal model is a reaction to the Traditional, or Literal model, Liberals tend to see everyone else as a Fundamentalist. McNab's supporters often put their arguments in this form, you are either enlightened like us, or fundamentalist. McNab on Stateline: "Some said I shouldn't be allowed to be here anymore and that I should be drummed out of town. I would expect that kind of reaction from people who take the scriptures far too literally."
Its position in the culture? In this model the church tries to be at the centre of culture, in order to transform it to make it more humane.
After about 100 years of this sort of talk there was a serious backlash from the Traditionalists. One form this took was a series of pamphlets from 1910-1915 attacking the Liberal position. They were funded by two wealthy oil tycoons and, as they said, were "sent to 300,000 ministers and missionaries and other workers in different parts of the world". These pamphlets were called The Fundamentals and from these we get the term "Fundamentalist". They are on the web and they have detailed attacks on "Higher Criticism" of the Bible on which Liberalism is based. The Liberal ideas are sensibly attacked – far better than things I see today.
Well sometimes not so sensibly. When looking at "The Fundamentals" the name "Dyson" caught my eye.
The very first essay. Volume one, Chapter one: The History of the Higher Criticism, is written by Canon Dyson Hague. He starts out with his arguments undermining the Higher Criticism of the Liberals but before too long says the following:
German Fancies
In the second place, some of the most powerful exponents of the modern Higher Critical theories have been Germans, and it is notorious to what length the German fancy can go in the direction of the subjective and of the conjectural. For hypothesis-weaving and speculation, the German theological professor is unsurpassed.
So what he is really saying here about the Liberals is: They're just a pack of lying Germans. Of course, what he wanted to say was: They're just a pack of lying Nazis.
But the Nazi party was still ten years away. So he couldn't say that. But I maintain that he would have if he could have. And so this is the point at which Godwin's law applies to this debate. And so 1910 is when we all should have realized that we were just calling each other Nazis and that it was time to move on to something else.
That something else brings us to the third model. And I want to strongly emphasize that there are other models besides Liberal and Fundamentalist. I was looking at a couple of Marcus Borg's books this week and he continually frames the debate in terms of Liberal and Fundamentalist. I'm saying there are not just two ways – not just Fundamentalist and Liberal.
This third model has been called "Evangelical" by its proponents, but that is confusing as now the Fundamentalists call themselves "Evangelicals" so I'll have to use the ugly term "Neo-orthodox".
In 1933 Karl Barth and others founded the underground Confessing Church soon after the Nazis formed the Protestant Riech Church unifying many churches.
Barth felt that the Liberal emphasis on faith is correct, but that the faith had become too far removed from Jesus Christ and too conformed to the culture. The Neo-orthodox position on the wider culture was that of Christ against Culture. They saw that the church should be radically against the earthly powers, in their case the Nazi party. And to do this the church had to offer something distinct, something unique. And it had it. They emphasised the complete otherness of God. A God who is known through revelation.
They saw the uniqueness of Jesus. He is the primary revelation of God. Not just a revelation, but the primary revelation. If we follow God, then we cannot follow earthly rulers – in Barth's case the earthly ruler was Hitler. If you do not put Jesus at the centre of your religion, you will find someone or something else. Some churches had found Nationalism and Hitler. If Francis McNab does not have Jesus Christ at the centre, who does he have? Perhaps it is Sigmund Freud? Or Carl Jung? None of these people [shown on overhead], not Hitler, nor Freud, nor Obama, nor Bono, should be at the centre of our religion, we are centred on Jesus Christ.
None of this "Neo-orthodox" position requires a literal view of the Bible. And none of this requires throwing away science. Although the Neo-orthodox did feel that the Liberals were too beholden to science, allowing science to dictate which parts of the Bible were superstitious and so should not be taken seriously. Rather, the Bible should be taken on it's own terms. We shouldn't try and impose a scientific rational world view on the Bible. That is anachronistic and will lead to misunderstanding.
When a ghost appears in Shakespeare's Richard III, do we just ignore that scene, or even ignore the whole play? Are we embarrassed by it's pre-scientific world view? No. We understand it and even embrace it for the purposes of getting into the play and fully understanding it. "Are there really eleven ghosts in Richard III! That's cool." The same should be true of the Bible.
Q: How can we appeal to the person in the street?
A: We need to have something distinctive to say. "Be nice to each other", is not enough. We need to get back to the saving power of Jesus Christ.
If we are embarrassed to say "We love Jesus", to pray in public, to speak of sin and evil, as well as joy and hope, what have we to say to people? Most importantly, if we stop reading and engaging with the Bible because we have already extracted the kernel of truth from it, how will we let God change us?
Note that when someone says "Evangelical" or maybe even "Neo-orthodox" to a Liberal they hear "Fundamentalist". Seeing things this way makes any sort of sensible debate, such as in the letters of Crosslight, impossible. The Liberals define their opposition as Fundamentalist no matter what they are actually saying. And some who call themselves Evangelical are Fundamentalists, so the terms aren't even used clearly. It's a real mess.
Liberation Theology
And that bring us to the forth model.
But first a warning from a cat. [Cat picture] Three steps into his epic journey. Fluffy decided it was too much work. We have done three models and there is only one to go. Please do not depart yet for the second service. There is only one model to go.
The fourth model is Liberation Theology.
While the Western theological world was getting in a mess, theologians in the third world were rejecting all these theologies as they didn't really include them. How can you give alms to the poor when you are the poor? It doesn't make any sense.
They looked at the Bible and found stories about poor people like themselves and decided that the first world had appropriated these stories and told them bad theology. The theologies weren't so much wrong, as irrelevant. Irrelevant to the person in the street, if you lived in the third world. So, the question now becomes
Q. How to do we appeal to the person in the street, given we are in the third world?
A. "Believe in Jesus Christ" doesn't cut it when the church is part of the wealthy and powerful who are the reason you don't have enough food to eat. Look in the Bible and you'll see a Jesus who was poor, a refugee, like yourself. A Jesus who spoke of liberation, a God who raised Jesus as a sign of hope and an act of liberation. That is an answer for the third world.
Even Barth hinted that this was the way to go in saying that we cannot really know Jesus "if we do not know Him as this poor man, as this (if we may risk the dangerous word) partisan of the poor, and finally as this revolutionary".
It was not far from here to "God's preferential option for the poor" developed by Peruvian theologian Gustavo Guterriez in his "A Theology of Liberation" (1972). Finally something after I was born!
God is not a God of the rich, nor of the rulers, not a God of the managers nor the middle class, he is a God of the poor. And where the books of the Bible are written by poor people to poor people, it is the poor, and those in dialog with the poor, who have the best insights into what it means.
So when it comes to the Resurrection, the question is not whether some event happened 2000 years ago. The Resurrection should not be discussed without the cross, and the cross cannot be discussed without discussing the crosses in this world and that implies the church's mission of justice and liberation. Faith in the resurrection is shown by working for justice and liberation here and now.
In the West this theology has been developed by Jurgen Moltmann, first with his "Theology of Hope" (1967) and then "The Crucified God" (1973) and many other works continuing to this day.
The current pope, while working for John Paul II, silenced Brazillian liberation theologian Leonardo Boff in 1985. Just 2 years ago Jon Sobrino in El Salvador was declared in error by the pope for his teaching on this matter. Now there is a relevant debate about what should be allowed to be taught – unlike the McNab controversy which hardly anyone outside the church cares about.
So what is Liberation Theology's attitude to the World? As with the Neo-orthodox position it is Christ against culture. And not content to sit on the outside like the Fundamentalists, but demanding and enacting liberation.
So we moved from the Traditional position of needing to accept the proof of miraculous events in history. To the Liberal emphasis on faith not proof, to the Neo-orthodox emphasis of specific faith in Jesus Christ, to the Liberation model, of faith in Jesus Christ the liberator of the poor.
The governing paradigm is no longer science. Not that we are against science it is just largely irrelevant. As well as using historical criticism of texts, we also use sociology, economics, politics to understand our situation and work out how to change it. We use narrative techniques to place ourselves inside the stories of the Bible and have the stories read us and our lives. In this we find them extremely relevant to our lives. This is a faith we can take to the streets, to the people, if they have ears to hear it.
This model influenced many at Ringwood Uniting in the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa. There the Black churches wrote the Kairos document: Third world churches speaking to the first world, saying you are like Paul on the road to Damascus – repent, stop what you are doing and turn around.
You talk of reconciliation without justice or repentance. And when you do talk of justice it is reform not fundamental change. You address your appeals to those at the top. The change we need is radical change of structures. This will only come from the people, not the top. Condemning all violence while trying to remain neutral. Yet, calling actions of blacks 'violence', while calling police actions 'misconduct' or even 'atrocities' but never violence. Your talk of fault on both sides and calls for reconciliation do not help us. Your condemning of violence while ignoring the causes does not help us. To help us, you need to take sides.
It is interesting to have this in mind and consider the Assembly's response to the Israeli invasion of Gaza recently. I don't have time to look at it now, but you can see how these ideas have help shaped the response.
This is where I see theologians like Thorwald Lorenzen (from whom I got these four theological models), Dorothy Solle (from whom I got the positions on culture) and Ched Myers. I see them continuing that discussion, working out what is means for us in the West or North. Ched Myers suggests that we are like Peter denying who Jesus is, while warming our hands by the imperial fire. We are in denial that we are aligned with empire.
So I in Crosslight I see debate between Traditionalists and Liberals that is over 100 years old and had moved on, before all of us were born. The Evangelicals in the debate know they aren't Liberals or Literalists but don't seem to be able to articulate this in a way that the Liberals can hear it. But the Evangelicals are often conservative not progressive. And where are the Liberation theologians? Probably somewhere else as this debate is largely irrelevant to them and to the person in the street.
I see the Uniting Church in Victoria and Ringwood Uniting as largely operating out of the Liberal model with influences of the Liberation model. The actions of the Liberation model have influenced the church, but very little of the theology that goes along with the action has made it through our middle class filters.
Our theology, (as opposed to our actions), seems overly concentrated on psychology rather than politics, giving it an individualistic personal flavour, rather than a corporate eccelsiology that is politically located. Finally, we could learn something from the Neo-orthodox about the importance of continuing the faith. When someone says they love Jesus and have accepted him into their hearts, they may not be a Fundamentalist, they may be a Neo-Orthodox Evangelical or a Liberation Theologian, a model or two ahead of Liberals as far as history goes.
Finally, I leave you with the question behind all of these models:
Q. How do we appeal to the person in the street?

Coaches: Jimmy Carnes, Head; Roy Benson, Asst; Dave Atkins,
440 and Relays
I was recruited to the University of Florida's Track Program in 1971, by Head Coach Jimmy Carnes. While in Tampa Florida?s Middleton High School, I played football; was track team captain; and had won Championship titles at the Conference, District, Regional, and State levels. ?When I was competing in the State of Florida?s Championship meet, Coach Carnes came to watch me run the 440 and the sprint medley relay?both of which I was favored to win. I anchored and won the relay; but when I made the mistake of looking back near the finish line, I lost the 440! As a result, Coach put me on the Gators? team?but he wouldn?t give me a scholarship until I proved myself. From that point on, I never looked back?either literally or figuratively. My time as a Trackman at the University of Florida was The Best Time of My Life! I made some life-long friends with some great guys. Together, we put UF on the National Track and Field ?map?, and we were among UF Track?s pioneers in ?The Genesis of Champions? era. Florida?s jumpers, vaulters, and fielders were already soaring, so we runners began the tradition of the ?Flat Out Flyin? Florida Gators!? I loved impressing the fans with my trademark ?flying? leap across the finish line. The UF Track Team, several individuals and I became SEC Champions; my mile-relay teammates and I became National Champions; and I enjoyed earning a long list of honors and awards?including being elected team captain for an unprecedented three years! Coach Carnes encouraged me to be a versatile runner by challenging me to run everything from sprints to middle distances (100 ? 880 yds)! I clocked some of the fastest times in the world for several events; ran in prestigious invitational meets; qualified for the Olympic Trials; and beat the Russians in the Jr. Olympics, while setting and shattering UF records all along the way! I even managed to make the Dean?s List! One newspaper article proclaimed, ?Brown Is Beautiful!? and another nicknamed me, ?Bodacious!?
When I arrived at UF, I met my friend and college sweetheart, Barbara Lee, who graduated from UF cum laude. Three years later, we were married; and we now have three adult children?all of whom are honor students and musicians. Older son, Beaufort III?aka ?Robb??has graduated from USF; son Brandon has graduated cum laude from UF; and daughter Briahna is currently a student at UF (Class of 2012).
Four years after arriving at UF, I graduated as an Outstanding Senior. Then, I earned my state insurance license and worked in that area for a few years. Since that time, I have been blessed to work as an educator in the field I love?health, fitness, and physical education. In addition to working in the Florida school system, I have coached track at the high school and college levels; managed swimming programs; and worked with Migrant and Special Olympics. I have been honored by induction into three Halls of Fame. I learned to water-ski?even barefoot! I am an avid student of religious studies and a spiritual teacher. My wife and I recently had a great visit to Mayan lands; so I hope to do more traveling. I enjoy grilling, cooking?and eating?but I still do a little running to stay in shape. *lol*
In high school (1979 ? 1981) Lori earned All-America status as a shot putter and discus thrower for Cheyenne Central High School where she held the state record in the Shot Put for over 20 years and continues to hold the record in her high school. She was an 8 time State Champion in the shot put, discus, and softball throw. She was heavily recruited in high school and after attending Utah State University from 1981-1982, she followed her coach to the University of Florida where she made a
name for herself. In the fall of 1983 while training in ?THE SWAMP? she was challenged by linebacker great Wilbur Marshall in a baseball throwing competition. To the amazement of her coach and all
in attendance, she threw a baseball the length of Florida Field splitting the uprights of the goal posts at the other end. Her coach was so impressed that he put a javelin in her hand and her track career took flight. In the spring of 1984 she qualified for the NCAA Championships where she finished 3rd and qualified for the Olympic Trials where she finished 8th ; after only training in the even for eight months.
She has always considered her throwing ability a gift from God stating, ?I don?t know many people who grow up dreaming of throwing the javelin!? Since that time she set the University of Florida record for the javelin at 188? 8?. Lori also set records and won the Penn Relays two years in a row (1985 and1986) and won the Gatorade Classic. At the 1985 US Championships she finished 2nd earning her a spot on the United States Track and Field Team. She competed in several international competitions that year and ended that season with a trip to Tokyo Japan where she finished 11th in the World University Games. She carried a US top 10 ranking 4 out of the 5 years she competed on the national and international track circuit and was a three time Collegiate All-America and two time Olympic Trials finalist in the javelin.
Lori earned a BA in Health Science from the University of Florida in 1986. Since then she has earned a Masters of Arts in Counseling Education, and a Masters of Arts in Education: Administration and Supervision. She has worked for the past 25 years with disadvantaged, inner city youth. She currently resides in Newark, NJ and works in Jersey City, NJ at the Hudson County Schools of Technology/County Prep High School where she is a School Counselor. She continues to stay close to her athletic roots and
has been a volunteer throws coach at Newark Central High School and an assistant volleyball coach at Jersey City?s Snyder High School. She also continues to play competitive volleyball and likes to take her javelins out often to take road trips down memory lane.

Thank you both very much! I feel much better now. I did specifically ask the pharmacist and he said "it has gluten in it" but I agree it didn't make much sense. Maybe he was confused? I appreciate the responses!
I'm looking for some thoughts and advice regarding gluten in injections. I have to take a new medication and my pharmacist said it does contain gluten. I have celiac disease so obviously it seems counter intuitive to give myself a shot which contains an ingredient my body hates. Unfortunately there are no substitutes for this medicine but I only have to be on it for 10 days. My GI doctor thinks that because I'm not taking the medicine orally, I shouldn't have a reaction from it. He didn't really seem certain though. Does anyone know more about this? I don't react topically to gluten, it's never affected my skin or anything. Hoping it won't be a problem!
I was diagnosed with Celiac back in September and just last week tested positive for primary hemochromatosis (I'm a C282Y homozygous, meaning I received the mutated gene from both parents). I never really got better despite going gluten free and I think it's because I have very elevated iron levels. I'm meeting with my doctor next week to figure out a course of action (if I need a liver biopsy or not). I'm only 27 so I'm happy I figured it out now I guess. Unfortunately, my father currently has stage four primary liver cancer, but I don't know if it's attributed to hemachromatosis or not. I hope not as his cancer might have been prevented if so. Some of my symptoms include: bronzed/orange skin, irregular menstrual cycles, thinning hair, brain fog, metallic taste in mouth, joint pain, loose stools, depression and fatigue. I am not thrilled that I have to get blood drawn.. but if it means I'll feel better then I'll try anything!
I was diagnosed with celiac disease last September and immediately eliminated gluten from all aspects of my life. I wouldn't even let my husband bring it in the house! I started to feel better.. but then I noticed weird symptoms began surfacing again about three months into the diet. Of course I thought it was CC or other food sensitivities so I became even stricter (stopped eating all grains and dairy). Still didn't feel any better. I had all my bloodwork retested and discovered I was vitamin D deficient so I started taking supplements everyday and didn't notice much difference there either. Aside from that the only lead I had was that I had very high ANA, macrocytosis (enlarged red blood cells, which wasn't from the obvious causes of alcohol, folate of B-12 deficiency) and I had high iron (my primary care doctor didn't even blink at that). From February until now my hair has gotten extremely thin, my nails look totally wacky (the white part extends way down into my nail bed. They are also very brittle) my menstrual cycle isn't regular, I have constant brain fog, my skin looks orange (even though I rarely go in the sun), my joint hurts (especially in my hands and feet) and on any given day I'm an emotional mess. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done and my GI doctor said my villi are all healed from celiac. He also removed some benign polyps. Other than that I was fine. I went to an RA for the high ANA and he tested for every autoimmune disorder under the sun - including lupus - all came back negative. I was literally at my wits end! My GI doctor mentioned that it was unusual that I had an elevated iron level considering I don't take supplements, I don't eat much red meat, and I menstruate. I didn't consider the high iron, because as a female you are always told you're going to be anemic and you always need iron. He ordered the test for hemochromatosis and come to find out I have the genes from BOTH parents (I'm C282Y Homozygous). Hemochromatosis matches almost all of my symptoms so I'm going to go to a hematologist soon for treatment. I REALLY hope that resolves everything. I find it so strange that I developed celiac disease and hemachromatosis almost at the same time. Does anyone else have the same thing? I am also curious is this has caused my unexplained macrocytosis since iron plays a large roll in red blood cells. Still not sure why my ANA is so high, but hopefully that will resolve on it's own eventually. I want to he healthy again!
High Ana & Plastic Surgery Regrets
abaker521 replied to abaker521's topic in Related Disorders & Celiac ResearchThat's good to know Celtic! I'm sure it would be better to wait a year before I get re-tested, but it can't hurt to do it now I suppose. I've been gluten-free for about 6 months. Do you remember what your ANA titer and pattern was? Mine was 1:1280 with a homonegenous pattern. My doctor never even discussed this with me. I accidentally came across it when I was faxing my medical records to a new doctor. I didn't even know what it meant.. looked everything up online then freaked out! You are so right about the grass being greener. All my life I was tiny on top and larger on the bottom. I just wanted to be more proportioned so I decided to get the surgery. Yes I look much better in t-shirts.. but I think it took me having larger breasts to know they don't really make me feel all that different. If anything, they are just causing me more pain than they're worth!
High Ana & Plastic Surgery Regrets
abaker521 replied to abaker521's topic in Related Disorders & Celiac ResearchThanks for that information Gemini. I wish I knew more about my body and genes before I had the procedure.. but what can you do.. I met with my doctor today and he was very supportive. He doesn't think the implants are causing me the issues, but he said that if my other doctors recommend I get them removed he'll do it free of charge and it's an easy procedure. He said I should bounce back because I'm young. Honestly I don't care about my figure.. I just want to feel better! I have an appointment with a new GI doctor at the end of the week and another appointment with an immunologist. I'll see what they say and will definitely get my ANA tested again. At the end of the day if I have to get them removed, I'm okay with that. It's my husband I feel bad for! haha.. he's amazing though and only wants to see me healthy too. Thanks for all the support here. I really appreciate it!
Going Downhill Fast
abaker521 replied to bartfull's topic in Coping with Celiac DiseaseFunny.. I've recently been having jaw pain too. It comes and goes but it's definitely annoying. Honestly though, I think a part of it has to do with anxiety. I tend to clench my teeth when I'm anxious and I don't notice it. Keep me posted though if you find an answer.. perhaps it has to do with a vitamin deficiency too?
Question For The Ladies
abaker521 replied to GFreeMO's topic in Related Disorders & Celiac ResearchI was on birth control for 4 years and about the same time I was diagnosed with celiac I stopped taking it (because by husband and I want to TTC eventually and my insurance no longer covered by birth control). My periods have been 35-40 days ever since and are super heavy and painful. Despite going strict gluten-free.. I still have some odd symptoms that lead me to believe I might be intolerant to other foods I don't know about yet? Either way I definitely notice a difference in that department. I'm becoming more regular (fortunately) because I'm finally putting on weight.. but man, I would die if I didn't have advil around that time of the month!
High Ana & Plastic Surgery Regrets
abaker521 replied to abaker521's topic in Related Disorders & Celiac ResearchThanks for looking up all the information Skylark! I've been doing some research too and there are a lot of reported cases similar to mine.. but I know that celiac disease can cause some pretty wacky symptoms too. It's just strange that I'm not getting much better, and actually seem to be developing other odd symptoms. It could be I have another underlying autoimmune issue or that the implants are just making me sick..OR that I'm taking longer than normal to heal. I don't think I'll ever know.. but I will definitely follow up with my doctors. I'm 27, pretty athletic, and very healthy from a dietary standpoint. I eliminated dairy, almost all grains, corn (although it's in everything so I have to be more careful) and I take a multi-vitamin everyday. I want so badly to be healthy and to stop thinking that I'm a "ticking time-bomb"..on a daily basis I never know if I'm on the road to recovery or just getting sicker. I think you got it right Bubba's Mom.. we become anxious when we don't notice results right away. That's definitely where I am right now! Blah Thanks for all your input everyone. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow and I'll let you know what he says.
High Ana & Plastic Surgery Regrets
abaker521 replied to abaker521's topic in Related Disorders & Celiac ResearchThanks for your input you two. I've been killing myself over it. I can accept that I have the genes for autoimmunue diseases.. but I can't cope with the notion that I've made myself sicker or caused my health issues by getting unnecessary surgery. The high ANA is what really bothers me.. but I had that test done when I was first diagnosed with celiac back in September. I've heard of it coming down after going gluten free? I guess I could get it retested and see.. To be honest I think I know exactly what triggered my celiac.. I started a new job, moved to a new town, got married, and found out my dad had stage four liver cancer all in one month. Bam.. stress upon stress. I wouldn't doubt I had it before that too.. but I never had major symptoms until around that time. I'm still weighing my options about my implants though. I just have so much anxiety over it.. but I don't want to "disfigure" myself if I don't have to. At the end of the day they are uncomfortable so I should probably have another consult with my doctor. Arg... I know I just need to give it more time and see. Thanks again for letting me vent here!
High Ana & Plastic Surgery Regrets
abaker521 posted a topic in Related Disorders & Celiac ResearchHi Everyone, Not sure where this post belongs but I wanted to reach out for some advise/opinions. Two years ago I decided to have a breast augmentation. This decision took years to make and after I found a very reputable doctor I decided I should just go for it. I was 25. Fast forward two years, and I have full blown celiac disease, HIGH ANA levels, elevated liver enzymes, thinning hair, jaw pain, and my chest is just always uncomfortable. I thought when I was diagnosed with celiac, that was the answer to my health problems. I've been strict gluten-free for 6 months (recent bloodwork still shows elevated tranglut levels but normal gliadin levels).. but now I'm wondering if it's my implants. I'm sure autoimmune issues is in my genes, but now I'm concerned I just added fuel to the fire. In the next few weeks I'm going to run some more bloodwork and meet with a new GI doctor.. but I'm seriously regretting getting the surgery. Looks mean nothing if you're unhealthy and unhappy. My husband thinks I'm over-thinking it too much, but I just have this "gut" feeling that I can't shake. Any advise or opinions are appreciated. I know this sounds like a very "first world" problem.. but it's a big decision to get them removed.

My Heart Is Broken....I am so so sorry Jess. I know words won't do much good now but just know that when things happen that are out of your control there's always a reason. Nature is smart. I know everything will work out for you soon and you'll have the baby you've been trying for. As you know I'm sort of in the same boat.. I want to have a baby very soon but I feel like my body just isn't healing as fast as I'd like. These things take time unfortunately and can be so very frustrating. My heart goes out to you.
Blood Test Still Positive
abaker521 replied to abaker521's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac DiseaseThanks so much for all your VERY helpful information!! You told me 100% more than my own doctor.. who immediately scheduled me with a dietitian because he said I "wasn't following the diet." UGH! I have definitely cut out dairy and probably need to lay off all the fruits and veggies.. most likely over-doing the fiber lol. I feel best in the morning then it gets worse during the day (severe bloating, fatigue, feeling spacey). Can other autoimmune disorders cause an elevated Transglut IgA/tTg? Thanks again for your help!
Blood Test Still Positive
abaker521 replied to abaker521's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac DiseaseYes I'm still having some symptoms unfortunately.. bloating..brain fog..mood issues.. but they certainly aren't as severe. My BM's are a bit better I suppose? ...perhaps it's just all hormones too. I went out birth control a few months back and I know my body is still recovering from that too. I went off dairy so hopefully that will help!

Revision as of 21:58, 4 September 2008
DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table) is a part of the ACPI specification and it supplies configuration information about a base system. ACPI capable computers come with a preinstalled DSDT from the manufacturer. A common linux problem is missing ACPI functionality (fans not runninng, screens not turning off when the lid is closed, etc.) stemming from DSDTs made with Windows specifically in mind. The solution that this article will try to detail is replacing the default DSDT with a 'fixed' version. Note that this fix can also be accomplished during installation ("Will you need support for custom DSDT?") but requires you to have a custom DSDT ready at hand. AFAICT there is no difference between using the installation method and doing it later.
Replacing the DSDT
Step one: Get hold of fixed DSDT
A DSDT file is originally written in ACPI Source language (an .asl/.dsl file). Using a compiler this can produce an 'ACPI Machine Language' file (.aml) or a hex table (.hex). To incorporate the file in your Arch install, you'll need to get hold of a compiled .aml file. - whether this means compiling it yourself or trusting some guy on the internet is up to you.
"Compiling it yourself"
In short, you can use Intel's ASL compiler (in the repos) to turn your systems DSDT table (residing in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT) into source code, locate and fix the errors (the compiled files will typically have been made using Microsoft's compiler rather than Intel's more stringent one... need we say more?), and recompile. This process is detailed far more comprehensively and better at the Gentoo wiki. It's well written and the process is a lot easier than it sounds and far faster than reading about it.
"Some guy on the internet"
- There is a database of sorts of user produced fixes on sourceforge: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/. Sadly, this is not very well maintained and more than half the entries are just weird noise spam. If you do download a file from there, it'll most likely be a compressed .asl file, so you'll need to unzip it and compile it. You should really read the Gentoo wiki for that but the upshot is: get iasl from the community repo, unzip the file into a directory of its own and run
iasl -tc ''.asl/.dsl file''
on it and if it says no errors and no warnings you should be good to go.
- Arch users with the same laptop as you are a minority of a minority of a minority. Try browsing other distro/linux forums for talk about the same model. Likelihood is that they have the same problems and either because there is a lot of them (Ubuntu) or because they're overwhelmingly technical (Gentoo?) someone there has produced a working DSDT and maybe even provides a precompiled version (again, use at your own risk).
- Google Is Your Friend: Try keeping it sweet and short - model name and dsdt will probably produce results.
Remember, regardless of how you get a file, you'll need a compiled ACPI Machine Language file for the next step.
Step Two: Get the file loaded at startup
This part is going to describe how to rebuild your startup image (kernel26.img) so that your custom DSDT file will get loaded instead of the maunfacturer's. This is fairly technical subject mattter (which I don't understand much of) so this is pretty much pure howto. See Configuring mkinitcpio for a more detailed description of the things at work here. If things go wrong this shifts the blame back to you.
- Cp your compiled file to /lib/initcpio/custom.dsdt
- The last line of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (HOOKS="....") lists in standard arch style "the hooks that are executed on image creation and on runtime in the exact order they are listed". You'll need to add 'dsdt' to this list if it's not already there. Save the file.
- mkinitcpio is the program that creates the startup image based on /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. Get it from the repos:
pacman -Sy mkinitcpio.
- Run mkinitcpio as root. Simply entering
will do a dry test run. Note that a succes here or when you run the command for real is no guarantee that the generated image will actually work. The 'succes' announced is whether or not an image file was generated.
mkinitcpio -p kernel26
will create both the standard and the fallback image. If you're feeling less adventurous, you might wish to first try
mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img
which will only create the standard image, so you can.. well fall back on the other one in case things don't work out. If/when they do work out, you can always run the command with the -p option after the first test.
Note that as long as you can restart your Arch install using the fallback image, you have nothing that cannot be reversed. Simply remove the dsdt hook from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and delete the custom.dsdt file and use mkinitcpio to create the images again.
Step three: Test your new image
If mkinitcpio succesfully created an image, you should be ready to reboot now. If things go well, you'll boot into your ordinary Arch setup, the only difference being a properly working fan, lid, whatever misbehaved. If they don't

Amnesiac man found at Calif. motel moves to Sweden
PALM SPRINGS, California (AP) — A man who was found unconscious in a California motel and awoke speaking only Swedish, with no memory of his past, has arrived in Sweden.
The Desert Sun reports 61-year-old Michael Boatwright was greeted by Ewa Espling, a Swedish woman he dated in the early 1980s.
Public records show Boatwright lived in Sweden on and off between 1981 and 2003.
Boatwright was discovered in a motel room in Palm Springs in February. He referred to himself as Johan Ek, but authorities found ID that identified him as Michael Boatwright.
In March, doctors diagnosed him with Transient Global Amnesia, a condition triggered by trauma that can last for months.
The rare mental disorder is characterized by memory loss, "sudden and unplanned travel," and possible adoption of a new identity.

A while ago, I wrote to Pregnancy & Birth magazine complaining about an article which had homeopathy next to conventional medicine. I was unhappy with how they unfairly portrayed conventional medicine for varicose veins (there isn't a magic bullet to stop them), while allowing the homeopath to say, as expected, they did have a treatment in the next column on the page. The result is that you make the conventional medicine look bad for being honest, and promote a placebo-based medication. You can see the letter (which Pregnancy and Birth rewrote) below and their response.
Please note that I'm not a medical doctor. When I sent the letter, I clearly stated that I am a researcher and have a PhD, hence the title.

This scanner is brand new. Have had it plugged in for the last 12hrs trying to figure it out. WAY too much for me. I'n not that intrested in spending the time to program this thing. My loss is your gain. $170 shipped!!!
Spend another $40 to get the ARC-XT Basic software and programming is a breeze.
Is this a digital Scanner?
the BCT15X is not a digital. I agree with Volfirefighter ..with ARC-XT ..a programming cable and a RR subscription it's REALLY a breeze!
Still have the scanner. Open to offers or trades on a couple smaller CB radio's Thanks for the Tech info guys. Just not intrested in Scanners. If you could help me get rid of it I'd be a happy camper

Once you decide to adopt a puppy, you choose to take on a slew of new responsibilities, one of which is to ensure your house is ready for a baby animal. Young animals need as much tender, love and care as infants, and they can get into just as much trouble.
Certain items around your home may pose a danger to your pet, such as discount shades, open cabinets and exposed chemical products. That being said, it's important to take a proper amount of precaution when allowing your puppy to roam free. Here are a few tips you can use to make your house safer for your pet and keep it looking beautiful.
1. Change your window treatments.
Just as it goes with infants, blinds with cords should be avoided to prevent any accidents and injuries. Cordless shades and blinds are great options for pet parents who want to keep their animals out of trouble and never have to worry about the puppy getting tangled. The window treatments provide similar benefits to families with children. Best of all, cordless blinds and shades can be easily opened to allow natural light into a space and can be closed for privacy.
2. Prepare your flooring.
If your home could use some remodeling and you're bringing home a puppy in the near future, you might want to consider replacing your flooring. While carpet can be plush underfoot, it's difficult to maintain in a household with pets. Animals are prone to soiling and staining carpet, making it tough for homeowners to keep clean. Laminate or vinyl are great alternatives that come in different colors and styles.
3. Hide any dangling string or cords.
As the American Humane Association reports, your pet is likely to try and chew everything in his path. For this reason, it's a good idea to try and keep decorations with dangling tassels or strings out of reach. If you have drapes, wrap them up to ensure they don't drag along the floor. Any cords and wires stemming from electronics should also be gathered and tied up.
While you might start to feel that having a puppy is infringing upon your interior design, keep in mind that you're doing it for the safety of your entire household. Keeping everything from your discount window treatments to decorative accents in order can also eliminate the possibility of clutter and make sure your house always looks beautiful.

The Royal Society of Chemistry includes the IYC logo on their journals in 2011Activity by Kathrin Leonard | added on Sep 28, 2010 | United Kingdom
The 29 RSC Publishing journals provide a channel to promote chemistry across a broad portfolio of chemistry journals, including core and niche chemistry subject areas.
Having the IYC 2011 associated with the RSC's journals will increase global visibility and support of chemistry:
Journals are published up to 48 times a year and the RSC Publishing average impact factor is 5.4 whilst the average for a chemistry journal is 2.4 (the impact factor indicates the average number of citations to articles published in a journal). Of the top 20 journals in the multi disciplinary chemistry category, 25% are from RSC Publishing. To encourage both young and new scientists into the field, RSC journals publish themed issues which focus on the work of outstanding young scientists. RSC journals are published by The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) originated in 1841 and the largest European organisation for advancing the chemical sciences. As a not-fro-profit society the RSC is committed to investing in science; in 2009 we were able to devote £36.9 million to charitable

Kendall + Kylie Jenner Dress in Black and White for 2013 American Music Awards [RED CARPET PHOTOS]
The first family of reality TV rocked the red carpet at the 2013 American Music Awards. Kendall opted for a short white dress that showed off her crazy long legs. With her sleek hair and silver clutch, she was all about glamming up the night. Kendall, on the other hand, worked a fashion-forward cropped top and black pants.
They are a force to be reckoned with.
We love the all-white look, Kendall!
Those bangs are edgy (and fabulous!)

Company Blocked From Selling Execution Drug to Mo.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A federal judge has temporarily blocked an Oklahoma pharmacy from selling a drug to the Missouri Department of Corrections for use in an upcoming execution.
The judge agreed late Wednesday to issue a temporary restraining order in a lawsuit filed by Missouri death row inmate Michael Taylor.
Taylor's attorneys say the Department of Corrections contracts with The Apothecary Shoppe, a compounding pharmacy in Tulsa, to provide the drug set to be used in his Feb. 26 lethal injection.
The lawsuit says several recent executions involving the drug, compounded pentobarbital, indicate it will likely cause "severe, unnecessary, lingering and ultimately inhumane pain."
The state hasn't confirmed the pharmacy is the source for its drug. There was no immediate word on whether the ruling could delay the execution.

President Snyder remembers Eric Nord, inventor and noted philanthropist
To the Case Western Reserve University Community:
I write you today regarding Eric T. Nord, an alumnus of the Case Institute of Technology and one of our university's greatest benefactors. Mr. Nord, who died last week at the age of 90, embodied all that we dream of for our graduates. He was an innovator who changed his field, a philanthropist whose work touched thousands and a husband and father to a wonderful family. I have the pleasure of knowing one of his children, Virginia Nord Barbato, a current member of our university's Board of Trustees.
Mr. Nord co-founded Nordson Corporation in 1954 with his brother and father, growing it from a modest local firm to a publicly traded international company that today has sales of more than $1 billion. He helped develop many of the products that cemented Nordson as an industry leader, personally accumulating more than 25 U.S. patents.
Following the example of his father, Mr. Nord believed passionately in the importance of contributing to his community. He helped launch four separate charitable organizations: the Nord Family Foundation, the Eric & Jane Nord Foundation, the Community Foundation of Greater Lorain County and the Nordson Corporation Foundation. Several Nord gifts directly influenced our campus, among them:
- The conversion of Enterprise Hall to Nord Hall, the hub of the Case School of Engineering
- The Eric T. Nord Endowed Fund for Faculty Development
- The Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities
- The Nord Professorship in Computer Engineering
- The Jane Baker Nord Scholarship Fund for the Art Education Graduate Program
- The Walter Nord Program at the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education
The Nords also have contributed significantly to Oberlin College, the Amherst Schools, the Cleveland Museum of Art and several causes within Lorain County. All told, charitable giving led by Mr. Nord totaled more than $100 million.
Mr. Nord received an honorary doctor of science degree from the Case Institute of Technology and the Case Alumni Association Gold Medal Award in recognition of his achievements. His family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, gifts in Mr. Nord's memory be made to The Baker Nord Center for the Humanities, in care of Case Western Reserve University, Room 124, 10900 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44106. Please join me in expressing both our sympathy and gratitude to his family.

Plug-in hybrid cars are said to be more fuel efficient and of course cheaper to operate compared to the regular vehicles using conventional combustion engines. It is not a free lunch though since charging these hybrids will mean consuming energy too, and money to pay for the electric bill.
The OnStar service of General Motors has an application that can tell owners of the Chevrolet Volt about the real cost of plugging their hybrid vehicles to an outlet at home. The app is called EcoHub and has the function of comparing the energy used by the Volt against the total consumption of the household on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis.
The new app will be using the energy data that can come from a utility company or a smart meter to get the info on overall usage. It also collects information from the Volt owners about the charging information of the vehicle.
The marketing team of Chevrolet pointed out that owners of the Volt have the good habit of keeping tract of their stats and compare their driving stats like the number of miles driven for a single charge. The app is a perfect combo to the technology of the Volt to provide very useful information to Volt owners. The EcoHub will be made available to a demo project in Austin, Texas initially.
You can click on the video below to learn more about the EcoHub app:
