The Wellington Daily News
When there is an emergency minutes, or even seconds, can be a matter of life or death. In cities like Wellington, a four-minute response time by an ambulance is common, but in the rural areas of the county it can take a lot longer.
Several EMS services operate around the county, and they can provide fast responses to emergencies, but some of those agencies are struggling to take care of calls in more rural areas.
Conway Springs is the latest to struggle. Other towns like Argonia and Belle Plaine have already had to make some hard decisions.
The problem is having enough people to staff the facility, or be available to make calls, 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
"We are in danger of losing our EMS license due to a lack of volunteers and staffing," Conway Springs paramedic Dawn Cornejo said.
She said they held a meeting in Conway Springs recently, and very few people showed up.
Conway Springs EMS training officer Billie Nickell said state rules require they be able to get an ambulance "out of the barn" in five minutes after receiving a call. They originally had a requirement that emergency personnel live in town, but finding qualified people made that impractical.
For years, since its inception, Conway Springs has operated with volunteers, but it is harder to find people wiling or able to do so. The city did recently approve hiring EMS help for 12 hours per week.
"More than half our volunteers are more than 50 years old. We have one that is 68. Some of us have been doing this 20 years," Nickell said.
Conway Springs has two paramedics, Cornjeo and director Jim Brozovich, both of whom also work with Sedgwick County EMS.
It is not just the city that they cover though. Nickell pointed out they cover 247 square miles of Sumner County. They get some money from the county for that, but it is not enough to provide staffing levels needed to make up for the shortfall of vounteers.
They also have two ambulances to maintain, and it costs just as much to maintain one in Conway Springs as anywhere else, Nickell explained.
Conway Springs City Clerk Kathy Barklay said the greatest problem is the shrinking number of volunteers. At the public meeting recently, she told the group if they went to a paid service it would nearly double tax bills in the city.
"I can't imagine not having EMS. We always know we can call 911 and someone will be there. It would be devastating to our town if we lost that," Barkley said.
EMS director Brozovich said they may end up hiring one full time person, and with some paid part time help, the may be able to keep the system running.
Brozovich works for the Sedgwick County EMS during the day and helps out at other times in Conway Springs.
Another problem he has is servicing rural areas of the county. The county gives money to each city to pay for these services, but Wellington and Mulvane get 70 percent or more of that amount.
The City of Conway Springs will also pay for the training for anyone who will sign a contract and work for the city as a volunteer for a specified amount of time. Brozovich said that has worked out well in some situations.
Brozovich believes Conway Springs can scrape by for now, but it may have to consider some radical steps, such as ending its contract with the county to do rural calls.
Brozovich said the Conway Springs EMS has an operating budget of $92,000, and that does not include personnel. He wants to see the county work on its formula for distributing funds, which he thinks could help them cover the rural areas.
Nickell and Barklay have seen other towns struggle, and hopes Conway Springs doesn't follow suit.
"We took on Belle Plaine service when they lost theirs for awhile. We had a few calls where there were not good results because of response time," Nickell said.
Belle Plaine lost its service for a time, but is now utilizing a paid service.
It now has two people at the station at all times, two EMT's and a full time director. The only concession they have had to make is not requiring them to live in the city limits, deputy city clerk Stephanie Howlett said.
Argonia did lost its EMS status, and now has first responders who can answer some calls. They are served by Norwich now for big emergencies.
"They can handle small emergencies. It depends on the day and who is in town," city official Mindy Mages said.
She said so far it has not been an issue, and Norwich responds in 15 minutes or so.
"We get more calls that you might think, usually its shortness of breath, heat exhaustion or something like that. We have a lot of older individuals too," she added.
Wellington EMS director Tim Hay said he thinks financing is a secondary issue to the staffing issue.
"People are older that volunteer. We have a newer culture now, there is just not as much volunteerism," he said.
Hay said a county-wide system has been discussed at times over the years, and that may happen eventually.
"Something will have to happen," he said.

On Saturday, December 22, 2012, Lynn's colleague Mike Feder paid tribute to his friend on the one year anniversary of her death. Here is the complete segment - including the full version of "Nina, Pretty Ballerina" that we provided to him - with the end tags. You'll notice Lynn sings a bit more on this version that usual - including some of the first verse.
One of the problems with later version of this song is that when Lynn broadcast from home, there was a slight delay when she would sing...not that it matters! As Lynn says, "I know I can't sing, but I love to sing!"

Hi all,
I've just started looking at WPF after playing with C# for a while. As such I'm starting by using XAML to define my form and then use C# to do the interesting stuff behind. For my first example I have a button on a form - Window1 and I can capture the event in the cs file that sits behind the XAML - Window1.xaml.cs. From here I can modify the button if I want to using code like:
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
Button source = e.Source as Button;
source.Background = Brushes.LemonChiffon;
But say I want the button click to modify another control on the form? How would I change the background value of (say) Button2? I've looked around the web and on MSDN and I can't find anyone who seems to be able to answer this question. I guess it can't be that hard - it's childs play in a "normal" C# form!
Thanks for your help,

Signs, signs: Trucks squeeze past sign rules
If you think the new Best Buy is hard to miss because of its bright lights, just check out the big rig parked in its lot. Conveniently, the truck, which displays the "Best Buy" logo, stands parallel to Route 29, in perfect view of passing traffic.
A couple of miles down the road, ACAC has the same idea: For the past four years, it's had a mini-bus with the ACAC logo parked roadside.
Massive ads in the face of commuters– sounds a lot like a billboard, right? But aren't billboards against Charlottesville's zoning regulations?
"I don't see any problem with the trucks," says Reed Broadhead, zoning inspector for the city.
But couldn't this be seen as a clever way to get around Charlottesville's strict signage laws, which limit signs to a height of 10 feet and a maximum area of 40 square feet?
"They're there to make deliveries, like other companies who have advertising on the side of their trucks," says Broadhead. "It'd be a different case if they were just parking them there."
Albemarle County is currently wrestling with the signage issue.
"Advertising vehicles are one of the more difficult sign regulations because you need to allow people to park in approved parking spaces," says Amelia McCulley in the county's community development department. "We haven't found a way to regulate it... Do you regulate according to how often they use it?"
McCulley feels that most businesses are not going to buy a vehicle to be solely used for advertising. Maybe not, but there are ways to maximize vehicle advertising without a hefty purchase price.
National Mobile Billboards, a Florida-based company, has capitalized on that notion. Whether a business needs a quick three-day campaign or a yearlong advertisement, a truck bearing the ad will be parked and driven around a specified area by a National Mobile Billboards driver.
In September 2003, the Hook reported that the company had arrived in town to promote SunTrust Bank's new branch on the Corner.
The truck could be spotted in late August rotating among two-hour parking spots on Main Street.
Around the same time, the Richmond area confronted a similar issue. Chesterfield County resident Ellen Clark parked a truck advertising her real estate agency in a Lowe's lot. County officials, however, quashed her promotion.
"The County of Chesterfield cited her for zoning violations," says Randy Rowlett, Clark's attorney. Recently Rowlett appealed the decision to the Circuit Court.
"We also filed a declaratory judgment asking for the Circuit Court to find the ordinance unconstitutional," says Rowlett.
The issue of signs has long been a sticky one, with business owners sometimes accusing local government of being "anti-business."
Last year, this accusation came from Tom Slonaker, owner of the Forest Lakes Arby's, when the county denied him the right to fly an Arby's flag outside his restaurant in late 2002. The incident caused quite a stir, and libertarians, loyal to the roast beef sandwich joint, even held a "rally round the flag." To further show support, cars donned mini Arby's flags.
Such use of cars– and trucks– as advertising is sure to increase, says marketing expert Pam Fitzgerald of the Ivy Group.
"Until city/county ordinances make it possible for stores to promote themselves, and offer directional and informational signage in a way that helps them market their business," says Fitzgerald, "you're going to find promotional alternatives."
Guess what this truck's hauling.

The first Family Open Day of 2020 (with all engines working – 'in-steam') is Sunday 29th March 2020.
Did You Know?
Volunteers run every aspect of the Museum – we have no paid staff.
In 2000, the Museum was on the listed buildings 'at risk' register and was at risk of closure.
To create the Noel Meeke Heritage Water Park a team of 30 volunteers gave over 2,300 hours of their time.
The collection includes many important items of our industrial heritage, which but for the intervention of the Museum would have been lost forever.
The Museum's oldest exhibit, a horse drawn fire engine, dates to 1805 and was used on the estate at Stoke Edith.
In 2015, volunteers welcomed over 5,400 visitors to the Museum (a record year).
Broomy Hill pumping station was built 165 years ago (in 1856) and the site is still used today for pumping water to Welsh Water's treatment works.
The Museum's display in the Rotherwas Building is the only permanent exhibition dedicated to Hereford in WWII.
The Waterworks Museum was first established over 45 years ago in 1974.
The main Museum building is one of less than 6% of all Listed Buildings that is rated as Grade II*.
Our working triple-expansion steam engine, which stands two-floors high, was built in 1895 and continued in use supplying water to Hereford until 1952.
The Museum's collection totals over 3,500 items (including books, documents and records relating to the water industry).

As the small boat bobbed in six-foot waves off Bundaberg, Australia, Graham Hine caught a glimpse of the tiny surfboard-sized vessel churning through the surf.
"Just driving up to it in the boat and seeing it there in the water, really having swam nine-thousand miles was pretty amazing," recalled Hine, the senior vice president of operations for Sunnyvale-based Liquid Robotics.
The arrival in late November of the company's wave propelled glider, nicknamed Papa Mau, marked the end of a year-long, 9,000 mile trek across the Pacific Ocean -- a world record for distance traveled by an unmanned vessel.
Papa Mau set-out from the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco November, 2011 along with three other of the company's wave gliders.
Two headed for Japan, while the other pair aimed for Hawaii on their way to their final destination of Australia. Papa Mau got to Australia first, having endured brutal storms, ripping currents and even a shark attack.
"There was a tooth embedded in the rubber," said Hine, who had scientists review the item. "Sure enough it's a shark tooth." But ever the trooper, the robot continued to transmit back scientific data from its solar powered sensors, giving scientists rare access to a long swath of the Pacific Ocean.
"We were able to collect temperature information, water chemistry information, current information, weather information" said James Gosling, Liquid Robotics' chief software engineer.
The wave gliders resemble over-sized Boogie Boards with racks of fins submerge below the surface.
The waves catch the fins to propel the vessel forward, indefinitely. The rudder is controlled by team members back in Sunnyvale who follow the vessels' progress on large digital maps – helping steer clear of passing ships.
The wave gliders' true role is as scientific observers, venturing to places where actual scientists would have trouble reaching. Their solar-powered sensors and cameras have been used to search for oil, monitor weather and collect data on climate change.
"The exciting part is not making it to Australia but the journey in between," said Gosling. "Because the journey is where the data is. The data is out in the ocean."
But the successful trek to Australia represents a victory for the company, and its aim of demonstrating the devices' durability.
Hine said the company may now use the wave gliders to explore Antarctica and points beyond.
"To go across the ocean now," said Hines, "no one can tell me this technology does not have legs."

Titus Young's weekend arrest in San Clemente, Calif. came on the heels of two other alleged incidents linked to a car registered to him, the Orange County Sheriff's Department told PFT on Monday.
Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino told PFT a black Ford Mustang registered to Young was involved in a pair of incidents investigated by authorities on Friday, hours before Young was arrested in San Clemente on burglary, resisting arrest and assault on a peace officer charges.
According to Amormino, the Orange County Sheriff's Department received a call at 6 p.m. Friday regarding a person believed to be laying in a black Mustang in a driveway outside a home in San Clemente. County fire department personnel in an ambulance got to the scene first. When they arrived, the Mustang was leaving, and it almost hit the ambulance. Sheriff's personnel searched for the person alleged to be driving the vehicle, but they could not find the person. After the first incident, the sheriff's department was able to ascertain that the vehicle belonged to Young, Amormino said.
Then, at about 8 p.m. Friday, the Orange County Sheriff's Department was contacted regarding a person peering into cars, Amormino said, and a description of a car alleged to have been used in the incident was the black Mustang belonging to Young. Sheriff's personnel, including a helicopter, searched for the person alleged to be looking into cars for about an hour, but the search did not turn up the person.
During the 8 p.m. incident, a description of the person alleged to be looking into the cars was given, Amormino said. The person was described to be wearing a burgundy undershirt, and the person described in the 8 p.m incident matched the description of the person involved in the Saturday morning incident in which Young was arrested on burglary and other charges in San Clemente.
The car registered to Young was found and impounded.

- Muhammed ibn al-Dheeb al-Ajami was jailed in November 2011
- His "Jasmine Poem" was critical of Persian Gulf governments
- He was arrested over a passage critical of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani
- Amnesty International official calls the case "deplorable"
A Qatari poet who received a life sentence for a verse of poetry said to be insulting to Qatar's emir will appeal his case, according to his lawyer.
Najeeb Al-Naimi told CNN that his client, Muhammed ibn al-Dheeb al-Ajami, has been jailed since November 2011. He called the sentence, which was handed down Thursday, "a miscarriage of justice."
According to rights group Amnesty International, which also condemned the life sentence, al-Ajami was arrested "following the publication of his 'Jasmine Poem,' which broadly criticized governments across the Gulf region."
Al-Ajami's poem, which praised Tunisia's revolution as well as other Arab Spring uprisings, was also critical of Qatar's ruler, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani.
"It is deplorable that Qatar, which likes to paint itself internationally as a country that promotes freedom of expression, is indulging in what appears to be such a flagrant abuse of that right," Philip Luther, Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa director, said in a statement on Thursday.
Al-Naimi, who said his client was not in court when the sentence was issued, is outraged.
"Our system gives people freedom to express themselves," the attorney said.
"Everybody is equal and has to have their rights. This sentence blows out our constitution and infringes on our legal system."

I had always thought I would get married someday, but the right guy never presented himself at the right time. So for the first time in my life, at 36 and facing the idea of possible death, no children and a year of chemo, surgery and radiation, I was doubly depressed that I didn't have a husband to walk me through the fire.
As usual, a really smart nurse pointed out the obvious, "Look around the chemo room," she said. Lots of women have husbands – but none of them are actually here. You have friends that love and support you. Sure enough, she was right. I had my Itlalian male friend who laughed with me, catered to my every whim, brought me food, watched them put the IV in while he held my hand and covered me with blankets when I shivered. He was truly "there" for me in a way many men weren't. For example, there was one husband that talked to every single woman in that room but his wife. Another was so buried in a magazine about a subject I was sure he wasn't interested in, just so he could avoid looking at his wife and the others. I started to hear stories and notice that breast cancer often preempted a long overdue divorce or acted as the clear-eyed vision that caused one to notice that the primary relationship in their life might not have been working for some time.
I started to wonder if this might be a theme. Do the women who get diagnosed with breast cancer already have on average worse marriages than the rest of the population? Or were they diagnosed from in the midst of an unbalanced relationship? Whatever the reason, I finally started to feel less sorry for myself and more grateful that in addition to having this present problem I didn't have the really large one of being married to a man who couldn't be intimate, love me completely or see that my breast cancer wasn't about him. It was about me. Of course, I also met women with lovely husbands who met their needs, and this trauma brought them closer. I just noticed for the first time that the marriage ticket didn't provide automatic love, support and connection - things I wanted deeply during this time in my life.
What do you think?

LOUIS D E N V ER BOSTON A T L A N TA C L E V E L A N D W A T E R T O WN B A L T I M O RE LONDON P I T T S B U R GH VOL. I I NEW YORK, JUNE 15, 1919 No. 6 Reminiscences IN the process of separating the Executive from the New York office there emerged from the archives the somewhat ancient but none the less beloved volume entitled "Athletics in Accountancy." This volume chronicles the organization and operation of the Haskins & Sells Athletic Association which flourished in 1907 and 1908. Its activities centered around the baseball team, but there was also considerable interest in tennis. The scene of the sports was principally Columbia Oval at Williamsbridge, now the site of a large and important hospital used in connection with the Great War. Our memory takes us back to the Saturday afternoons when "The Lemons" battled against "The Blues;" Mr. Sells' "Farmers" from North Castle gave our team a sound trouncing with a score of 17-2; how ignominously we defeated the team from the Royal Baking Powder Company, and, subsequently, as our skill increased, almost all other pretenders who happened to aspire to baseball glory, including the "Farmers." We recall how A. M. Lovibond, later a leading figure in amateur tennis circles, taught the balance of the field how to wield the racket; and the miniature Japanese archers who, for want of other available space, shared a corner of our field. There was plenty of liquid refreshment of proper sort during the afternoon, and a picnic supper for the members and their families and guests in the early evening, thanks principally to the untiring efforts and unusual culinary ability of Miss Bolles, Miss Hatfield, Miss Taaffe, and Mr. Gilbert. It was a time of banter and jest, and good fellowship reigned supreme. Athletic Bulletin Number One announced that "the following members of the staff of Haskins & Sells have organized a baseball team:" E. A. Hifton, W. N . Peal, C. Dooley, L. L . Perrine, S. Rare-shide, R. C. Brown, E . A. Mitchell, L. C . Matthews, J. V. Westfall, F. Samuelson, Jr.; T. N. Willins, H . B. Cook, F. A. Bresher, John Flint, F. H . Clark, A. T . Johnston, Jr.; J. R. Wildman, F. Shavel, B. E. Gilbert, R. D. L'Hommedieu, W. L. Hawkins, W. H . Kuper, T. J. Murray, Gage Hills, E. Fuller, T. H . Lee, C. S. Ludlam, F. M. Brown, E . W. Sells, D. S. Fero, C. D. Martin, J. H . Ostberg, J. S. Mitchell. Many of the above named have passed out of our lives; some to other fields of endeavor; some to other organizations; some to the "great beyond." There are several who are still with us. As we pause to reflect we are struck with the thought that while diversions may come and go, and they are pleasant incidents, the success of our organization centers around a continuity of purpose, which is only made 41

So this is a rather interesting story, the owner sleeps on a yoga mat, the site, a former meth lab. I don't have a clue why you would sleep on concrete with only a yoga mat, but that's what the owner wanted when he described what he was looking for:
Imagine for a moment you're an architect. You've got a client – a really nice guy – who tells you he sleeps on a yoga mat on the floor. And he wants a home that is so stripped of ornament that, to some eyes, it will seem stark and cold. Also, he's a very private person who wants a place of quiet solitude, but located in a dense urban neighborhood.
Interesting proposition for an architect, but I really like the results!

SKF and Vantage cooperate to improve reliability of drilling ships and extend dry dock interval requirement
2014 December 11, 14:00 CEST
Gothenburg, Sweden, 11 December, 2014: SKF USA Inc. and Vantage Drilling, Inc. a leading international offshore drilling contractor which operates and manages a fleet of modern, high specification drilling rigs have combined resources to improve the reliability of the Vantage Titanium Explorer and Platinum Explorer drill ship fleet. These vessels are designed for operation in the deepest waters of the Gulf of Mexico and other offshore global basins of oil & gas exploration. Based on SKF's expertise in the application of condition monitoring systems and Vantage's philosophy of improving the mechanical reliability of its drilling ships, these ships will be equipped with a comprehensive monitoring system for the propulsion and positioning thrusters.
SKF undertook a careful study of the thruster mechanical system, including bearings, lubrication, gearboxes and drive motors to design a condition monitoring solution, supported by remote diagnostics services that will provide Vantage with timely information about the mechanical health of their thrusters along with advanced warning of issues that could impact drilling or propulsion system operation.
Application of this system coupled with the remote diagnostics services provided by SKF will enable Vantage to comply with American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) guidelines for Condition Based Maintenance procedures. Through the application of these systems and processes, Vantage will now be able to extend the mandatory overall interval required for physical inspection of the thrusters until the operational condition of the asset requires it. This will create a major cost savings over the life of the asset and contribute to significant improvements in operational utilization of the drill ships.
"Vantage Drilling and their personnel are recognized in the industry as providing superior technical support to their clients who comprise several of the major International and National Oil Companies. SKF is proud to be affiliated with them to help them push the boundaries still further." said, James Henry, End User Director for SKF's Gulf of Mexico market.
"We have known SKF for many years as a quality supplier of critical mechanical components and found their condition monitoring system and remote diagnostics services well suited for our strategy of improving the reliability and availability of our newest ships. We have been impressed with the professional support and timely implementation of the SKF solution." said, Bill Thomson, Vice President Technical Services, Supply Chain and Projects.
An important factor in maintaining ABS certification is the monitoring strategy and data analysis process that SKF will provide from their recently certified SKF Solution Factory in Houston, Texas.

$14.95 for 1.4 oz.
LUSH Lustre Dusting Powder is a very fine, jasmine-scented gold powder that you can apply all over your body. LUSH's application instructions are to rub some in your hands and then use your hands to apply where desired. It's a little messy to do it that way, and I find it easier to mix it with some lotion to get a more subtle glow and a more even application. The one flaw of this product is the packaging--it's a little messy to try and use the little snap up lid because if you squeeze the bottle too hard, the powder will go flying everywhere. Be sure to squeeze very gently!
In spite of that one drawback, I definitely feel like this is a good quality product, and the small bottle definitely lasts a long time. I applied it on my arms and legs almost every day during the summer, and the bottle is still pretty full! I prefer this to other dusting powders I've tried, and to other shimmer lotions I've tried. I like being able to control the amount of shimmer, and what lotion I'm mixing it with. You could add the most subtle glow, or you could practically go Goldfinger/Pussy Galore with this stuff! I also feel that the golden shimmer of Lustre is especially pretty. Bonus: when I mix it with 100% Pure's Coconut Nourishing Body Cream, it smells HEAVENLY, like warm waffle cones.
Even if you don't usually splurge on shimmery body products, I really think most gals would like and use this, especially during shorts/bikini season. You could split it with a friend and put your in an empty decorative salt/pepper shaker! I think this would also be good to add a little golden glow to your legs and arms for holiday parties too (to keep the pasty white from blinding everyone, right?) ;)

A Quick Tale of Right Wing Ignorance Before the Storm Arrives:
The Rude Pundit, well stocked with enough vodka, sausage, and condoms to last a Siberian winter, is awaiting the bad part of Sandy, the not-at-all-related-to-climate-change-late-October-hurricane-for-fuck's-sake. He doesn't know when he will lose internet or power, so he'll just tell a quick story from this past weekend and save the vaguely articulate arguments for another day.
In a cozy bar in Morningside Heights in New York City on Friday night, the Rude Pundit sat across from the Elderly Southern Belle, who is white and in her 60s. The Elderly Southern Belle had already entertained the group by saying that she wasn't racist just before launching into her version of Black Person's Voice, which sounded like a toothless ghetto whore out of a 1970s TV cop show. The Elderly Southern Belle's own accent could best be described as "somewhere between Deliverance and Mama's Family." So doing another kind of accent to demonstrate that race's ignorance was a little like a rat acting like a pigeon to show what disease-carrying vermin are like.
The ESB started in about politics, the Rude Pundit having vowed that he would avoid the topic in order to keep the evening peaceful. The ESB talked about how bad she felt President Barack Obama had been for business in the nation. The Rude Pundit stayed silent. She talked about how Medicare could only be saved by a Romney presidency. The Rude Pundit stayed silent. She said to the Rude Pundit, "I hope you don't ever want to retire because that money ain't gonna be there." The Rude Pundit could remain silent no more.
"My retirement funds are doing great because the stock market is doing great under Obama," he said.
The ESB said, "Well, they're not gonna if Obama is reelected."
"No," the Rude Pundit said. "When Barack Obama took office, the Dow Jones was down to around 6500. It's now over 13,000. That's a fact."
She stared at him and said, "Well, that's because--"
"No 'That's because--,'" he cut her off. "It's a fact, it's indisputable, it happened, under Obama. Can you say it didn't happen?"
She was silent for a moment. Finally she offered, "It went down when he first came to office--"
"For a couple of weeks. And then some of his policies came into place, like the stimulus, and it turned around."
She tried one more time, saying, "Sure, but--"
"No 'but.' No nothing." The Rude Pundit had had enough. "This is a number. It's a fact. It's not an opinion. It's not open to interpretation. It was one number and now it's another number that's twice as high. Under Obama. Argument over."
She gave up and moved on to health insurance. That's a story for another time that involves the Rude Pundit saying at one point, "Fuck those doctors who quit."
This is what Democrats are up against. It can't be said enough: facts don't matter to Republican voters. Numbers are all lies. And, as we saw in that Chrysler's-sending-jobs-to-China ad this weekend from the Romney campaign, reality has no place in the rhetoric of the right.
The truly sad part is how many people, like the ESB, will always believe the lies that confirm their prejudices rather than the truth that challenges them.

UPPER EAST SIDE — Police nabbed an international press agent who brazenly lifted a Salvador Dali masterpiece from an Upper East Side art gallery last summer, bringing him to justice with the help of a pair of his fingerprints lifted off a juice cleanse bottle, they said.
Phivos Istavrioglou, 29, was indicted Tuesday for snatching Salvador Dali's 1949 painting "Cartel des Don Juan Tenorio" from Venus Over Manhattan art gallery in June 2012, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly and Manhattan's District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. announced in a joint statement.
Istavrioglou, who lives in Milan, Italy, and works as a communications official for the French clothing company Moncler, was arraigned on charges of grand larceny in the second degree.
"It was almost surreal how this theft was committed," Vance said in a statement.
Istavrioglou told authorities that he entered the gallery at 980 Madison Ave., on Tuesday June 19 and inspected the watercolor and gouache painting worth $150,000, according to court documents.
He discovered the painting was loose and he was "surprised it just came off the wall," according to court documents.
He slipped it into a black shopping bag — frame and all — before walking out, police and prosecutors said.
Istavrioglou told investigators that he considered returning it to a security guard or just leaving it at the entrance, but feared he would be arrested on the spot, and instead fled, according to court documents.
Within days, Istavrioglou's face was plastered over newspapers, television stations, and news sites around the world. The NYPD was able to connect him to the crime because of a fingerprint of his they'd gotten from a BluePrint Juice bottle when he was arrested for shoplifting at a Manhattan Whole Foods earlier in 2012.
Just nine days after the painting was stolen, it was mailed anonymously to the gallery from Greece and intercepted in JFK airport.
Istavrioglou told investigators later that he was trying to return the artwork and had even created the email account "firstname.lastname@example.com" to notify the gallery it was en route, documents show. He deleted the account after giving them the heads up, he said.
He said that he thought about his crime every day and repeatedly searched for updates about the painting to see if his name was connected to it, according to his statements to investigators.
An undercover officer posing as a business manager reached out to Istavrioglou on Nov. 23 and eventually lured him back to the States to curate and do public relations for a new art gallery.
Homeland Security agents took him into custody on Feb. 16 as he stepped off the plane at JFK, officials said. Document show that Istavrioglou realized what was happening once the first NYPD detective entered the holding room he was in.
"This is about the Dali, is it not?" he allegedly asked an NYPD detective.

The end user charger has no control of how a battery is drained, or how long it is left drained - so that is beyond its scope.
Charging then, breaks down into five phases.
- Battery detection and charge level determination - health tests (resistance, et al)
- Begin of battery charging - for a fully discharged battery (assuming testing shows it is at that level)
- Middle of charging
- Approaching level where battery-full might occur
- Final charging arrangements, when fullness is detected.
I suspect the charger can detect when "something" is placed between the positive and negative connectors of the charger. Even if this "thing" might just be a piece of metal. The circuit is completed in some way.
So check for things that might break the charger - reversed battery, a piece of metal, whatever comes to mind.
After it has determined a battery is what is closing the circuit...
Check for resistance.
Check approximate level of charge. In order to do this it must, as far as I know, place the battery under some load and determine voltage.
A fully emptied battery, with a passive voltage check on a VMM will show somewhere around 1.2 volts. So to detect empty - put it under load and the voltage will drop fairly quickly down to 1.1 and below - this would be categorized as phase one or empty battery.
A partially full battery can be determined by testing under load also. These generally stay around 1.20 to 1.27 volts, without much change.
A mostly full battery would show as being 1.27 to 1.39 or so, under load.
2. Begin of charging
I've seen several examples of other chargers amps patterns at beginning of charge. I'm not an electrician so I'm not certain of the effect of Pulse Width Modification (PWM) vs a fixed current, but all the charting I've seen seem to practically equate the two charging methods (purists prefer fixed it seems).
In any case to be as gentle as possible on an empty battery, and its chemistry, it would seem to make sense to start slowly with a lower current. Perhaps C/40 or C/50 for 5-10 minutes.
2a. Transition between charge voltages.
I propose that all changes of voltage occur in a gradual fashion. Which from a graphing perspective would appear to be a slope or curve. Maybe 2 minutes for transition from C/40 to middle charging current.
Example of Gradual increase of voltage (SkyRC MC3000 charger designer chose to take ~8 minutes for slope)
3. Middle of charging
Keep up the current, watch the voltage, check for loss of circuit (ie: someone removing battery during charge).
Test voltage while charging and also while no current is applied, between pulses (assuming PWM). Perhaps, even occasionally checking voltage under load (brief).
4. Approaching end of charge
Whichever charge ending criteria was chosen, which might be: specific voltage, inflection (tm Paul), a voltage plateau, "Peak Sensing tech.", a selected amount of mAh pushed into battery, -dv/dt detection...
At some point it is decided that the battery is practically full. So what some chargers do is lower the voltage to avoid as much heating of battery as possible. How much to lower is something that should be discussed. 75%, or multiple levels, 80% for a while, 60% for a bit, 40% etc. As in 2a above always transitioning. If the lowered voltage somehow interferes with "fullness" detection (as in missing a crossover for -dv/dt) some solution could be developed.
This charger halves the amps about 25% before the end of the charging. (Opus BT-C700) and example of tiered decrease of voltage (Opus BT-C3100)
5. Final charging arrangements
Transition the voltage down to much lower value. Depending on charge setting a low C/10 or C/20 top off charge could be applied...although usually not. If battery is the old non LSD, then trickle charge might be used (although how to tell the charger that? and also would a user want to?) - probably best not to trickle.
Example of a downward slope for voltage - Note: this was for a discharge but the principal is the same.

Gibson perfect in playoff debut, Ducks beat Kings to even seriesMay 11, 2014 - 5:03 AM Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - John Gibson made the most of his NHL playoff debut, recording a 28-save shutout as Anaheim claimed a 2-0 victory over Los Angeles in Game 4 of this Western Conference semifinal.
"As soon as we called him up, I thought about starting him," said Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau. "I thought he would give us the best chance to win."
Gibson had gone 3-0-0 with a 1.33 goals-against average and one whitewash in three appearances at the tail end of the regular season for the Pacific Division champions. He became the first rookie to post a shutout in a playoff debut since Andrew Raycroft of the Boston Bruins against the Montreal Canadiens (3-0) on April 7, 2004.
Devante Smith-Pelly and Ryan Getzlaf provided early offense for the Ducks, who drew even in the best-of-seven set by winning two games on the road after losing two straight at home.
Jonathan Quick and Martin Jones combined to make only 12 saves the Kings, who couldn't come up with any offense despite holding the Ducks without a shot in the second period and three on net in the game's final 40 minutes.
"It wasn't a tough thought process. They scored two goals. I don't think our goaltending is an issue. We have to finish off our shots to be successful," offered Kings head coach Darryl Sutter on his decision making in light of LA's offensive struggles.
Game 5 returns to Orange County on Monday.
Anaheim recorded the game's first goal with 3:58 left in the first period. Corey Perry worked out of a scramble at the left post, tracked down an errant shot which caromed off the back boards, then backhanded the puck along the side of the crease, where Smith-Pelly lifted the puck over Quick.
Getzlaf's third-chance rebound from the left post on a Ducks power play found its way to the back of the net and Anaheim led 2-0 with 75 seconds remaining in the opening frame.
Getzlaf kept his club up by two when he dove in the crease as Gibson was out of position to block an open shot from Drew Doughty, who cruised in from his location at the point to join the fray.
In a surprise move, Quick was on the bench in favor of Jones to start the second, but the effect wasn't sufficient for the hosts to put one past Gibson. Los Angeles threw 12 shots on goal in the second period without success, and held their rivals to no shots on Jones.
That marked the first time in franchise playoff history that LA held an opponent shotless, and just the second time overall, after a similar feat on April 5, 1978 at St. Louis.
The Kings withstood a double-minor for high-sticking to Anze Kopitar, who bloodied Ducks forward Andrew Cogliano at the 5:23 mark of the third, but recorded just one shot during a power play with 7:47 left in regulation after Cogliano tripped Dustin Brown.
"We have to do more in the offensive zone. We have to score goals. We have to make it harder on their goalie -- whoever it is," stated Kopitar.
Still, the hosts kept pressing. Gibson padded away a right-wing try from Jake Muzzin, then stoned Tyler Toffoli in close as the clock ticked below five minutes to play.
Jones was pulled for an extra skater twice in the final 2 1/2 minutes, yet the Ducks defense prevented any further quality chances.
"After the first five minutes, I settled down. It's exciting but we haven't won anything yet. If I got that call, I had to be ready," Gibson admitted.
Game Notes
Gibson was recalled from Norfolk of the American Hockey League, having gone 4-2 with a 1.45 GAA, .955 save percentage and one shutout in the postseason. The 20-year-old Pittsburgh native posted a 21-17-4 record, 2.34 GAA and five shutouts in 45 regular-season appearances for the Admirals ... The last time an NHL club was held without a shot in a playoff period: May 9, 1998, in Game 2 of the WCSF, as Dallas dropped a 2-0 decision to Edmonton ... The Kings hadn't been blanked in a home playoff contest since May 20, 2012, a 2-0 defeat to the Phoenix Coyotes in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.

I am always amused when conservatives wax eloquent about the wonders of federalism. They talk grandly of the states as the laboratories of democracy and the evils of federal control of whatever they're against in the first place. But only when the outcomes match their preferences. When an issue comes up that they feel strongly about, they're all about federal control. Marriage equality is a perfect example, as wingnut Star Parker demonstrates at the Worldnutdaily:
One significant development in the recent election was votes in four states approving same-sex marriage initiatives. Until now, all previous state referenda to approve same-sex marriage – 32 of them – failed.
The Wall Street Journal editorial page – a place where conservatives usually turn for intellectual capital – saw this as cause for celebration.
According to the Journal, marriage definition should come from voters, not from court orders. Americans, they argue, have "shown themselves more than capable of changing their views on gay marriage the democratic way."
In other words, our definition of marriage should follow process, not principle. Let voters decide.
Funny, but "let the people decide" was the battle cry of the religious right when they put all those referendums on the ballot in 2004 and 2008 and they were winning them. Now suddenly, it's a terrible idea.
What the hell does that have to do with the subject at hand? There is nothing in the constitution that forbids marriage equality (indeed, I would argue that the 14th amendment requires it, just as it required the end of laws against interracial marriage).
I'd guess if I asked the Wall Street Journal editors if the American Constitution should be viewed as a "living document" – if our understanding of its words and what they mean should be open to change to reflect attitudes of the moment – they would say "no."
In the 1850s, Stephen Douglas proposed solving the dilemma of whether slavery should be permitted in new states by suggesting that they should just vote. What could be more American than submitting the question of slavery to the democratic process of each state?
To this Abraham Lincoln observed: "God did not place good and evil before man telling him to make his choice. On the contrary, He did tell him there was one tree, of the fruit of which he should not eat, upon pain of certain death. … I should scarcely wish so strong a prohibition against slavery in Nebraska."
Lincoln's rejoinder to the idea of "popular sovereignty" – that states should vote to determine if slavery would be legal – was that there are core truths – truths that define right and wrong, good and evil – that precede the democratic process.
To reject this premise is to buy into moral chaos, which is what we are approaching today.
This would make a good entry in the wingnut to English dictionary. By "moral chaos," they of course mean "people doing things we don't think they should do even if it has nothing to do with us."

Day Two of Nautique Wake Games Sees Strong Performances by Riders of all Ages

Athletes as young as nine and older than 40 and coming from as far away as Brazil put in top tier performances at one of the sport's most prestigious events.
One of the day's most competitive divisions proved to be the Men's 2 with athletes between the ages of 25-29 battling it out for a spot in tomorrow's final round.

"We saw great riding from wakeboarders from all over the world, guys that have been involved with the sport since day one and people that have only discovered the sport in the past year or two. Regardless of age or skill level, everyone was stoked to be part of the Nautique Wake Games today."
Also registering an impressive display of all-around solid riding at day two was the riders in the Junior Women's division. The cream of the crop was Larisa Morales who used a strong aerial attack to win her heat. Chloe Mills also put in a formidable performance in the heat to claim a spot in the Junior Women's finals tomorrow.

Hi Joe,ReplyDelete
First time here via a MetsBlog link.
What you are doing on your journal is fantastic! These are great illustrations and you have a keen wit: judging by the ones that I've seen so far - win or lose. I can't wait to get these in my feed reader after each game.
Really, really nice!
Thanks Ray!ReplyDelete
