Pets, Pets, Pets
A good idea just got better. Last fall the Suffolk County Legislature voted to create the nation's first registry of convicted animal abusers. This database will become a reality next week. Now its sponsor, Legislator Jon Cooper, added more punch to pet protection with a second law requiring pet stores, breeders and animal shelters to check the photo ID of prospective owners against the registry before allowing animals to be purchased or adopted. The second measure passed unanimously and awaits the County Executive's signature.
Recidivism is rampant in both animal cruelty and hoarder cases. In addition, psychologists and cruelty investigators often see that those capable of torturing defenseless animals, later graduate to humans, another reason to monitor the whereabouts of known pet tormenters.
The animal abuser registry is similar to Megan's Law, aimed at halting child abusers from harming additional victims. Legislator Cooper says: "Our goal is to prevent future instances of animal abuse in Suffolk County." Realizing a one county target area is not broad enough Cooper "hopes our Suffolk laws will be the impetus for an animal abuser registry on the state level." Following Suffolk's lead, similar bills have been introduced in Albany. It heartens Cooper that other innovative ideas, such as his bans on both hand-held cell phones and the deadly diet supplement ephedra, served as models for laws in other states. He wants the animal abuser registry to be "copy-catted" throughout the US too.
How the registry will work: Suffolk County Police contracting with Suffolk SPCA will maintain the list of names of people residing in Suffolk County convicted of various animal abuse crimes including failure to provide proper sustenance (that means convicted hoarders too) on and after May 23, which is 180 days after the signed law was filed. The list will have public accessibility and be updated when necessary. Those county residents convicted must pay $50 to register within five days of their release from jail, or if not incarcerated, from the date of their judgment. They stay on the registry five years, unless they are convicted again, whereas the time starts over.
How the prospective owner checking will work: Any person seeking to buy or adopt an animal in Suffolk must present photo ID to the shelter or pet dealer prior to getting the pet. (Feeder animals, typically mice, crickets, or mealworms are excluded.) Each shelter, public or private, breeder (defined as someone breeding nine or more pets per year), or pet store must make sure the "customer" is not on the online registry or face fines of $500 for the first offense; $1,000 for the second.
Yes, we are making progress. It's a starting point. Hopefully, the registry will soon encompass all 50 states. On LI, most municipal shelters and private rescues are already screening applicants via their own criteria. They turn adopters down when it is in the best interest of the pet. Town shelters require photo ID for most transactions. (In contrast, pet stores and irresponsible breeders see dollar signs rather than the search for a responsible home as their top priority.) These registry rules are additional screening tools. Legislator Cooper should be commended for his creativity and compassion, but the new laws are only part of the abuse arsenal. We have miles to go before winning the war against animal cruelty and neglect.
I'm part of the jaded rescue contingent. Some individuals who should never have a pet (nor be allowed to reclaim their wounded one at town shelters) are yet to reach the legal radar screen. We see so much cruelty arrive at the shelter door. Because we can't depend on humane law enforcement to side with silent animals unable to dial a phone or scream as loud as certain negligent owners demanding them back, the cycle of abuse will continue. A recent case sickens all who knew the dog returned.
Too bad we can't grandfather in past monsters. Notori- ous convictions predate May 23, including Sharon Mc- Donough the Selden mother who forced her six daughters to watch while she tortured and killed dogs and cats, later buried in their yard. It was reported that a pet store provided some of the puppies. Others may have been stolen from neighbors. Her children are in foster care, yet McDonough is no longer in jail and not on the registry. What keeps her from repeating this unthinkable behavior?
Any shortcomings are not the fault of the new legislation but inherent in our legal system, one that enables perpetrators to prolong court cases and plead down to nothing. Penalties are not harsh enough. Most animal abusers get a slap on the wrist, if that. The problem is pervasive. A handler starved 17 Afghan Hounds in their crates last year. Three died; the rest rescued in the nick of time. The DA office in Indiana assured us that they would go for the maximum, but the woman was sentenced to probation when she tearfully told the judge she was too depressed to get out of bed. Her husband was aware of what was going on.
Labor Day 2011 Michael and Marilyn Gladstein, the dermatologist/ wife duo, were arrested for hoarding over 115 dogs in their West Hills home. (See Post "Pets" 9/15/10). More dogs were dead in the sink. Many fought to get a mouthful of water after the fire department responded to the alarm set off by the stench of urine. When booked the doctor and missus were each charged with one felony cruelty count for mistreating their pony. No charges in regard to the dogs, mostly Pom mixes. Their next court date is not until August 11. Innocent until proven guilty, but right now what stops them from buying a pair of innocent Pomeranians and starting anew?
In essence, it is difficult to convict anyone of animal cruelty. Speaking of copy-cat ideas- Nassau DA Kathleen Rice set up a county animal abuse hotline in March 2010. In a year's time, 700 calls were investigated and 16 cases prosecuted. Investigations can uncover related crimes like domestic violence and gang activity. Previously, the Nassau office averaged two animal prosecutions a year. We also need an animal abuse hotline manned by the Suffolk County DA, plus more cruelty authority delegated to town shelter personnel. Couple these with Legislator Cooper's animal abuse registry, and Suffolk could pack a mightier wallop against animal abuse.

2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Mercedes expands its best-selling model line.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class delivers a combination of attributes surpassed by few cars or trucks anywhere. This sedan is luxurious, comfortable and fast, yet the cost of operating it, measured by fuel consumption and anticipated maintenance, is reasonable. The E-Class can be both sporty and practical. It employs some of the world's most advanced safety technology. It's relatively roomy inside, but it's also exceptionally maneuverable and not at all bulky, and it can be equipped with weather-busting all-wheel-drive. It expresses status in elegant, understated fashion.
It's no surprise that, still fresh from a thorough redesign, the E-Class has reasserted itself as one of the best-selling Mercedes models in the United States. It's the company's best selling line worldwide.
The E-Class revamp for model year 2003 was complete, including chassis, exterior styling, interior and engines. Mercedes introduced loads of new E-Class technology to go with athletic new looks and much sharper, sportier driving dynamics. The all-new E-Class sedans were more spirited than ever, but every inch a Mercedes-Benz.
For 2004, Mercedes expanded the lineup with two E-Class wagons that seat seven and offer exceptional versatility when hauling cargo and people. All-wheel drive, called 4Matic, was made available for sedans and wagons. And the mighty E55 AMG sports sedan was launched. Boasting 469 horsepower, with an amazing combination of lightning acceleration, handling, braking and luxurious accommodation, the E55 is one of the finest, and fastest, four-door sporting cars Mercedes-Benz has ever built.
The E-Class line expands further in 2005 with the new E320 CDI, powered by a high-tech direct-injection turbodiesel engine. Though popular in Europe, this is Mercedes' first diesel-powered sedan for the United States in eight years. We think it may be the best diesel car ever sold here. With diesel fuel selling for 20 percent less than gasoline in many markets, not to mention the E320 CDI's outstanding performance and 700-mile fill-up range, Mercedes' timing might be spot-on.
The E-Class is one of the most compelling cars in one of the most competitive market segments. The mid-size luxury sedan category includes more than a dozen solid choices and some of the finest cars in the world, including standards such as the Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series. The E-Class will go toe-to-toe with any of them, and offers buyers more choices than most.
With so many choices available, choosing the best E-Class car for your needs can be daunting at first. Nine distinct cars, each available with literally dozens of options, comprise the E-Class. Fortunately, it isn't too difficult to narrow the selection to the appropriate model.
There are really only two primary choices: four-door sedan or wagon. From there, it's a matter of choosing the engine, and whether or not you want all-wheel-drive.
Understanding Mercedes' alpha-numeric nomenclature helps, and it's actually not that difficult. The letter or letters at the start designate the car: C for the compact C-Class sedan, E for the mid-size, S for the big luxury sedan. The numbers after the letter designate the engine size, if you imagine a decimal point after the first number. E320, for example, means an E-Class car with a 3.2-liter engine. E500 models come with the more powerful 5.0-liter engine. Somewhat of an exception to this is the super high-performance AMG cars, which get only two numbers. But the process is the same: The E55 AMG has a 5.5-liter engine.
The E320 ($49,220), powered by a 221-horsepower V6, is the least expensive and most popular E-Class. It comes with the standard equipment buyers expect in this class, starting with fully automatic dual-zone climate control, a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, 10-way power front seats with leather seating surfaces, real burl walnut trim, a nine-speaker stereo, power windows with one-touch express operation up and down, auto-dimming mirrors and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Popular performance options include 4Matic full-time variable all-wheel drive ($2,500) and a Sport Package that includes high-performance tires and the Airmatic computer-controlled air suspension.
New for 2005, the E320 CDI ($49,795) is equipped identically to the E320. The distinction is the impressive CDI turbodiesel engine. If you haven't driven this sedan, you don't know about the latest in diesel-powered cars. However, due to late changes in emissions mandates, the CDI is not offered for sale in California or the Northeast. For now, the E320 CDI is a 45-state car.
The E500 ($57,620) has been gaining sales ground on the E320 in recent years. Powered by a 302-horsepower V8, the E500 comes more standard equipment than the E320, including a seven-speed automatic transmission, a four-zone climate control system with separate temperature adjustments for both sides of the cabin, front and rear, and the variable ADC air suspension.
Nearly all the upgraded equipment on the E500 is available as options on the E320, and there are dozens more options offered on all E-Class models, including the high-tech stuff people expect in luxury cars. The extras include radar-controlled Distronic adaptive cruise control, which maintains a set distance from cars ahead; Keyless Go, a credit card-sized transmitter which allows unlocking the doors and starting the car by touching the door handle and the gear selector; Parktronic obstacle warning, which helps with parking and enhances safety by alerting the driver to objects in front of and behind the car. Also available: DVD-based GPS navigation integrated in the in-dash information management system; voice operation for the phone, audio controls and navigation system; ventilated massaging seats; and solar-powered interior ventilation for those hot summer days when the car is parked for long periods. There's even a power trunk closer.
The E320 wagon ($51,470) and E500 4matic wagon ($61,220) are equipped comparably to the respective sedans. The 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, optional on the E500 sedan, comes standard on all E500 wagons; the system is also available for the E320 wagon. And while there may still be social baggage associated with station wagons, anyone put off by that image is losing out. The E-Class wagons give up almost nothing to the sedans in performance, fuel economy or handling dynamics. They simply.
The E-Class is considered by many to be the most successful design among Mercedes' current sedans. The four-headlight theme introduced on the previous-generation E-Class, now the company standard, has been refined in this car. Its front end is lower and is more steeply raked. An E-Class sedan has the look of a coupe. It looks fresh and youthful yet elegant.
The design presents a class-leading 0.27 coefficient of drag, helping minimize wind noise and maximize fuel economy.
With its lower body cladding and huge, 18-inch spoked wheels, the E55 AMG is clearly the raciest and most aggressive-looking E-Class. That said, those body add-ons add slightly more drag, if you can call 0.28 more drag.
The E-Class wagons will never be mistaken for anything but a wagon. Nonetheless, they are impressively sleek, and some critics find the tear-drop taper of the rear roof more aesthetically pleasing than the truck deck on the sedans.
Though it looks sportier, the 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is slightly larger than the pre-2003 models. It's about an inch longer in wheelbase and overall length and a half-inch taller in overall height than the 2002 model. It's a bit heavier (by 50 to 150 pounds, depending on model), but comes with improved crash protection and more standard equipment. The E-Class is the first Mercedes to use aluminum body components extensively, starting with the hood, front fenders, trunk lid, front crossmember and front subframe. Aluminum is lighter and stronger but more expensive than steel. Aluminum amounts to 10 percent of the body's weight. About 37 percent is high-strength steel, almost twice as much as before, which is stronger but more expensive than regular steel.
The E-Class has all the traditional Mercedes interior cues, updated with some fresh features. It's conservative in some respects, daring in others, and impressively executed throughout.
The dashboard sweeps from each side and blends into the doors and center console. Nicely crafted wood trim is complemented by splashes of chrome. Plastic panels are rich in appearance, thanks to a new soft-touch finishing process. All are sprayed with a polyurethane coating that delivers impressively consistent color.
The instrument cluster uses black script on white gauges with LED lighting, framed by a three-spoke steering wheel. There's a big speedometer in the middle, with a menu-operated display for diagnostics, feature selection, ambient temperature, date and other information in the center. To the left sits a large analog clock, to the right the tachometer. On either end of the cluster are neat bar gauges that resemble thermometers, displaying fuel level and coolant temperature. An indicator with an icon of the car lets the driver know if any of the doors are ajar and, if so, which one, a welcome upgrade from the previous-generation cars.
A cluster of switches between the visors on the headliner controls cabin lighting and the Tele-Aid SOS call button. The panel also includes a switch to operate the sunroof. HomeLink buttons are located on the bottom of the rearview mirror and can be programmed to control garage doors, house lighting, gates, etc. Redundant controls on the steering wheel hub operate the phone, radio and information display.
The main audio, telephone and navigation controls are located in a new COMAND module, spread around a 16:9 ratio LCD display screen. The system is a big improvement over Mercedes' previous control center, but still requires some learning to master. A single row of switches operates door locks, flashers and seat heaters.
The center console has a funky pop-up cupholder and a large storage bin (two bins if you don't order the telephone package). There are storage bins in each door, and map pockets on the front seatbacks.
The nine-way adjustable front bucket seats are firm enough for good support when driving fast, but not hard on the back when cruising. They grip bodies of various sizes nicely, and there's more than enough adjustment via Mercedes' patented door-mounted seat controls to accommodate just about everyone. The sport seats have enough bolstering to keep a bronze bust in place. But if you don't dive into corners like Stirling Moss, then you probably don't need them because they make getting in and out a little more difficult.
Our gripes? The outside mirrors are small, no doubt in deference to sharp styling and good aerodynamics, and they limit the driver's field of view. More significant is the cruise control. Mercedes' system is managed with a stalk on the left side of the steering column, above the turn signals. On the new E-Class, the cruise stalk may be even closer to the turn signals than before, and at some point, no matter how long you've driven the car, you are going to hit the cruise control when you intend to turn on the blinker. Mercedes engineers insist that theirs is the most effective cruise-control operation going. We've yet to meet anyone who prefers it. On the other hand, we've met few people who dislike the cruise control to the point that they'd overlook all the strengths of a Mercedes-Benz to avoid having to use it.
Also, the new E-Class features ambient cabin lighting, the latest trend in interior design. These strips of soft, low-level cabin lighting in the headliner remain on during darkness, like a fancy nightlight in the bathroom. It's disconcerting while driving at night, at least initially, because we're used to nothing but the instrument lights. The distraction goes away as you become accustomed, but we're not sure the benefit of being able to see around the cabin outweighs t.
Driving Impression
Our first impression behind the wheel of a Mercedes E-Class is that it's smooth, serene and quiet. There's very little vibration anywhere in the cabin, and almost no wind noise. Even the high-performance E55 AMG is so quiet that the driver forgets just how powerful and fast it is until the throttle is opened up.
Performance from the E320 is somewhat disappointing. Its 3.2-liter V6, which produces 221 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque, lacks the responsiveness of the other E-Class engines, including the new E320 CDI diesel. Nonetheless, the E320 cruises well at high speeds and the V6 is smooth and quiet. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds, according to Mercedes, and that's more than adequate in the most hectic traffic situations.
New for 2005, the E320 CDI is flat impressive. It's turbocharged inline six-cylinder diesel engine features all the latest high-tech goodies, including CDI, the common-rail direct injection system, which delivers fuel to the engine at an incredible 23,000 psi, compared to 100-250 psi in the typical gasoline engine. Yet the technology matters far less than the results. Forget everything you know about diesel-powered cars built in the 1970s, '80s or '90s. Slow starting? Not anymore. Like all diesels, the E-Class version still needs electric glow-plugs to heat the combustion chambers before starting. Yet during our week-long evaluation, in early spring in the Midwest when mornings are more than cold enough to leave a coating of dew on the landscape, the E320 CDI never started more slowly than a gasoline engine. Indeed, we never saw the glow-plug indicator light. Certainly it might take longer to start in the dead of winter, but we can't imagine that it will require more than a second or two.
Unpleasant odors? You'll still get that oily diesel smell when you fill the E320 CDI's tank, but once the filler cap is back on and the car is running, you'll notice no unpleasant fumes inside or out of this E-Class. Excessive engine noise? At idle, during warm-up, you'll hear the rapid tick-tick of diesel noise more loudly than anything coming from the gasoline-powered E320's engine. But once the diesel is warm, there's very little difference in the amount of engine noise reaching the cabin compared to other E-Class models. The diesel engine is also surprisingly smooth, and the extra bit of noise comes with some excellent benefits.
Start with better acceleration. The E320 CDI's 201 horsepower is impressive by diesel standards, but that's not the half. This engine produces a whopping 369 pound-feet of torque, more even than the E500 gasoline V8, and it's the twisting power of torque that generates acceleration. Dip the accelerator pedal on the E320 CDI and it jumps, quickly enough to spin the back tires just by jabbing the gas, if you switch the traction control off. The CDI will leave the gasoline-powered E320 in its dust, up to about 90 mph. Moreover, the CDI engine breathes freely enough that it keeps pulling strong up to the transmission's shift points.
And that gutsy acceleration comes with outstanding fuel economy. According to the EPA, the E320 CDI beats its gasoline-powered counterpart by nearly 10 miles per gallon for both city and highway driving, estimated at 27 and 37 mpg respectively. Our test suggests that a 10 mpg edge overall is easily achievable in the real word. With predominantly highway travel, the CDI has a range of 600-700 miles per tank, so owners won't have to tolerate the smell of diesel fuel very often.
European engineers have wondered for decades why American drivers haven't taken to diesel-powered cars in greater numbers. The answer is simple: Compared to Europe, gasoline in the United States has usually been relatively cheap, and the economy advantage of a diesel has never been worth the trade-off. With the E320 CDI, we see no reason to choose the gasoline-powered E320, except.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has always been a benchmark among luxury cars. It's a fine car in a competitive class, with a combination of safety, luxury, practicality, sportiness, status, and cost of operation that's difficult match.
For 2005, the E-Class offers a wide range of choices, from a frugal, excellent-performing diesel engine to well-behaved, utilitarian station wagons to the ultra high-performance E55 AMG. All-wheel-drive is available with a choice of engines in both sedans and wagons. And the E500 has an industry-leading seven-speed automatic transmission.
Our choice in this model line is the screaming E55 AMG, as long as someone else picks up the $80,000 tab. For our money, we'd buy the $55,045 E500 for its responsiveness and overall balance; the 5.0-liter engine really wakes this car up. The new E320 CDI diesel is the most frugal and, given the times, perhaps the best choice; we'd choose the diesel hands down over the similarly priced, gasoline-powered E320.

Toyota just made a splash in the high-performance auto world as it unveiled its brand new hybrid TS030 – the gasoline-electric super car they'll be driving in 2012's 24 hour Le Mans Race. The Toyota team is the first confirmed participant using a hybrid engine in this year's race, and although they've got their eye on the prize, they're also upping their race credentials by completing Le Mans with their THS-R system (which stands for Toyota Hybrid System – Racing). With 3.5 million Toyota Hybrids sold worldwide, the TS030 will put Toyota's fuel-efficient technology to the test in one of the world's most competitive automotive races.
"Our target this year is to show the performance level of our car and particularly the THS-R powertrain. Hybrid is a core technology of Toyota so it is important to demonstrate this in a motorsport arena and we want to prove it can bring a performance advantage, both in terms of lap time and fuel efficiency," explained Yoshiaki Kinoshita, president of the race team based at Toyota Motorsport GmbH in Cologne, Germany.
The TS030's fuel efficient hybrid drivetrain is great for endurance racing, since less fill ups mean less time wasted. The team has also improved the aerodynamics of the vehicle, increasing fuel efficiency even more. The TS030 is a successor to the TS010 and TS020 — TS stands for ToyotaSport — which participated in Le Mans in the 1990's to great success. This year's version of the car has a 90° VA normally aspirate engine, and it will use regenerative breaking to generate electricity that will assist in acceleration.
"Toyota has been working on hybrid systems for motorsport for several years, during which time we have made huge progress. Now we feel ready to bring our technology to the ultimate motorsport test: the Le Mans 24 Hours. Integrating a hybrid powertrain is, of course, a different challenge compared to a 'standard' powertrain," noted Hisatake Murata, TS030's Hybrid Project Leader. Le Mans is the oldest vehicle race in the world and has been run annually since 1923 near Le Mans, France. The vehicle track, called the Circuit de la Sarthe, is made up of existing roads combined with test track and runs for 8.4 miles in a circuit. In addition to making great time, the vehicle teams must make sure there isn't damage to the vehicle along the way.

A Letter of Warning
Will you please explain why you appear in my yard year after year. Your behavior is unacceptable. I have never given you an invitation and yet you and all of your relatives continue to arrive despite my efforts to keep you out.How is it that you can grow double the size of the flowers that I fertilize? Why do you try to crowd out my little pretties? How is it that your Weed relatives can look so different and yet have the same annoying behavior?Your Weed kin try to camouflage themselves as pretty blossoms and then they morph into nightmarish evil spawn to cause me further torment.For your information, I have hired the biggest, baddest bouncer in town to get you out of my yard for good. Consider this your final warning!

Please feel free to come to my house and intimidate my weeds, too, Joy! They are horrible things, aren't they? I always point out to my husband how they try to mimic plants that I have them near. Of course, he almost pulled out my hostas one year, so he's not really allowed near anything in the beds. I just take care of the weeds myself!

Cloudant announced that its NoSQL database service is now available on the Microsoft Windows Azure cloud computing platform.
Microsoft has opened up Windows Azure and is adding infrastructure as a service (IaaS) capabilities to the platform as part of a Microsoft initiative to provide developers with access to a range of cloud technologies from various providers to best serve new, fast-growing Web and mobile applications running on Windows Azure.
Cloudants strategic relationship with Microsoft continues Cloudants own work to bring its database as a service product to public cloud providers and cloud application platforms. Cloudants NoSQL database services are now available to Windows Azure customers. Cloudant will also be integrating its service into the Windows Azure Marketplace.
Windows Azure gives developers flexible ways to manage their data and make it quickly available to a new breed of data-driven Web and mobile applications, said Jean Paoli, president of Microsoft Open Technologies, in a statement. Developers using Windows Azure dont have to worry about growing their applications to massive scale because Windows Azure scales automatically. Cloudants NoSQL database service on Windows Azure offers developers a great option for offloading data store operations so that they can focus on coding the next big app.
Further reading
Applications deliver a much better user experience if their data is deployed closer to users, versus halfway across the world, said Derek Schoettle, CEO of Cloudant, in a statement. Cloudants ability to distribute data to Windows Azure data centers around the world means we can move dynamic database data as close as possible to the network edgeeven to individual mobile devices. As a result, applications on Windows Azure can grow faster and support new usage models such as disconnected computing with mobile replication and sync.

Ireland's Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny is visiting the United States this weekend to promote investment in Ireland and The Gathering 2013 initiative.
He travels to Philadelphia and Cleveland over the weekend to "drive economic recovery and employment, by delivering the message to international business people and investors, and to the Diaspora, that Ireland is open for business" according to a government statement.
Kenny arrived in Philadelphia on Friday where he addressed the Brehon Law Society Symposium on "Doing Business in the US and Ireland". Addressing those gathered he apologized for not bring "one of Ireland's most loved sons – one Sam Maguire".
He added "unfortunately the Donegal GAA team had other ideas in Croke Park recently." referring to his native county Mayo's defeat in the All Ireland football final.
The Taoiseach spoke about the challenged Irleand faces in recovering from the economic collapse. He spoke of the progress the Fine Gael / Labour Party coalition government had made since taking power, noting the improvement in tourism, agri-foods and exports.
He said "We are trading our way to recovery, the only sustainable way in the long run."
Kenny spoke about the intense bond between Ireland and the United States, one that is more like family than friendship commenting on the business, love of sport, dancing and singing that connect the countries.
While visiting Philadelphia Kenny also launched the US headquarters of Zenith Technologies, an Enterprise Ireland-supported company.
At the launch he said "I am delighted to officially open Zenith Technologies US Headquarters.Zenith is a leading Irish high-technology company that is achieving strong growth in the US market. Zenith's success in this highly competitive market is a clear demonstration of how an ambitious company, with an innovative, specialist offering, can compete at the highest levels internationally.
"It is companies like Zenith that will drive the export growth that will underpin Ireland's economic prosperity and support valuable Irish jobs. I congratulate Zenith on their operation here in Pennsylvania that will allow them to grow their business in the US market and indeed worldwide."
On Saturday Kenny will travel to Cleveland, Ohio, to continue his drive of investment and job creation. He will address at the City Club of Cleveland where he will again spell out the attractions of Ireland for business and investment.
The Taoiseach will also participate in a range of meetings with Enterprise Ireland client companies expanding into the US, including a number at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic involving Irish companies in the healthcare and technology sectors.
The Taoiseach will also meet with representatives of the Irish communities in both cities and will use his visit to promote The Gathering 2013 in the region.

Any guesses as to what the contraption is in the image above?
The above might not make much sense, but will be explained a bit a couple of photos down.
I imagine that towers like these were quite a new phenomenon when the above photo was taken.
Anyone know which dam this might be?
Back in D.C. — a destination in Album 1. The above is a photo of the Lincoln Memorial, which opened to the public in 1922 (construction began in 1914). This information helps to date the photo.

Ifyou can't bite, don't show your teeth. Every dog has his day - but the nights reserved for the cats.
Nordin Morgan About Me Artist Statement I share my birthplace with the Pharos of Egypt. My immigration to USA has been the underlying event which has defined my work for the past recent years. Most of my painting is figurative made in a spontaneous expressive manner. It also addresses identity, displacement, and reflects how the exterior reality affects the idea of who I am. Some might suggest relationship, story, or other significant moment in time. I have a strong sense of people�s presence. I feel that I recognize their face and read their movement on the stage of life... as if they were placed there just for my sake. They move so that I may depict their movement. They grant me the right to reduce their figures to lines,...

WARSAW, Poland Irena Sendler credited with saving some 2,500 Jewish children from the Nazi Holocaust by smuggling them out of the Warsaw Ghetto died Monday, her family said. She was 98.
Sendler, among the first to be honored by Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial as a Righteous Among Nations for her wartime heroism, died at a Warsaw hospital, daughter Janina Zgrzembska told The Associated Press.
President Lech Kaczynski expressed "great regret" over Sendler's death, calling her "extremely brave" and "an exceptional person." In recent years, Kaczynski had spearheaded a campaign to put Sendler's name forward as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Sendler was a 29-year-old social worker with the city's welfare department when Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, launching World War II. Warsaw's Jews were forced into a walled-off ghetto.
Seeking to save the ghetto's children, Sendler masterminded risky rescue operations. Under the pretext of inspecting sanitary conditions during a typhoid outbreak, she and her assistants ventured inside the ghetto and smuggled out babies and small children in ambulances and in trams, sometimes wrapped up as packages.
Teenagers escaped by joining teams of workers forced to labor outside the ghetto. They were placed in families, orphanages, hospitals or convents.
"Irena was truly a noble lady and a great humanitarian who helped save thousands of children," said Stanlee Stahl, executive vice president of the New York-based Jewish Foundation for the Righteous.
Records show that Sendler's team of about 20 people saved nearly 2,500 children from the Warsaw Ghetto between October 1940 and its final liquidation in April 1943, when the Nazis burned the ghetto, shooting the residents or sending them to death camps.
"Every child saved with my help and the help of all the wonderful secret messengers, who today are no longer living, is the justification of my existence on this earth, and not a title to glory," Sendler said in a letter to the Polish Senate after they honored her efforts in 2007.
In hopes of one day uniting the children with their families most of whom perished in the Nazis' death camps Sendler wrote the children's real names on slips of paper that she kept at home.
When German police came to arrest her in 1943, an assistant managed to hide the slips, which Sendler later buried in a jar under an apple tree in an associate's yard. Some 2,500 names were recorded.
"It took a true miracle to save a Jewish child," Elzbieta Ficowska, who was saved by Sendler's team as a baby in 1942, recalled in an AP interview in 2007. "Mrs. Sendler saved not only us, but also our children and grandchildren and the generations to come."
Anyone caught helping Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland risked being summarily shot, along with family members a fate Sendler only barely escaped herself after the 1943 raid by the Gestapo.
The Nazis took her to the notorious Pawiak prison, which few people left alive. Gestapo agents tortured her repeatedly, leaving Sendler with scars on her body but she refused to betray her team.
"I kept silent. I preferred to die than to reveal our activity," she was quoted as saying in Anna Mieszkowska's biography, "Mother of the Children of the Holocaust: The Story of Irena Sendler."
Zegota, an underground organization helping Jews, paid a bribe to German guards to free her from the prison. Under a different name, she continued her work.
After World War II, Sendler worked as a social welfare official and director of vocational schools, continuing to assist some of the children she rescued.
"A great person has died a person with a great heart, with great organizational talents, a person who always stood on the side of the weak," Warsaw Ghetto survivor Marek Eldeman told TVN24 television.
In 1965, Sendler became one of the first so-called Righteous Gentiles honored by the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem for wartime heroics. Poland's communist leaders at that time would not allow her to travel to Israel; she collected the award in 1983.
Yad Vashem Chairman Avner Shalev said Sender's "courageous activities rescuing Jews during the Holocaust serve as a beacon of light to the world, inspiring hope and restoring faith in the innate goodness of mankind."
Despite the Yad Vashem honor, Sendler was largely forgotten in her homeland until recent years. She came to the world's attention in 2000 when a group of schoolgirls from Uniontown, Kan., wrote a short play about her called "Life in a Jar."
It went on to garner international attention, and has been performed more than 200 times in the United States, Canada and Poland.
Sendler, born Irena Krzyzanowska, said she lived according to her physician father's teachings, arguing that "people can be only divided into good or bad; their race, religion, nationality don't matter."
She married Mieczyslaw Sendler but they divorced after the war's end. Sendler then married fellow underground activist Stefan Zgrzembski, and they had two sons and a daughter. One died a few days after birth. The second son, Adam, died of a heart failure in 1999.
Sendler is survived by her daughter and a granddaughter.

HOMETOWN SEARS: New location, same products
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's Sears Hometown store is moving this week.The retail outlet is relocating from its previous location on Connexion Way to Plaza Drive, in the former Fashion Bug space in Town & Country Shopping Center.Though the move is taking place this week, Sears will not be closed, as customers are able to visit the new store anytime. The transition comes after the previous owner, Dave Meineke, left the business, Winter said. Winter said Sears is currently looking for an owner, and is in the beginning stages of finding one.Though Winter said the new store is probably the same size, he thinks it's a better location. "We're going to get a lot more traffic here than at the other location," Winter said. The new location will offer the same products, with the addition of mattresses.The store offers a variety of products, from kitchen appliances to lawn equipment and tools. Winter said the store can also order anything that is on the Sears website, and have it shipped to the customer's home.For a more in-depth look at this story, see the Jan. 31 issue of The Post and Mail.

Is composed of people with a strong interest in promoting and shooting the longbow and recurve bow.
Whereas we feel that in the proliferation of modern archery, traditional equipment is being forgotten, and
Whereas this mechanization is moving archers and bowhunters farther from the involvement in archery by not encouraging the making of equipment by the shooter, and
Whereas in speaking of traditional equipment, "Their constant use by man for untold ages has bred within him a love for their beauty, grace and power, appealing to the better qualities of his heart and mind,"*
Therefore in the tradition of Hill, Pope, Young, Ullrich and Stevenson and all those who have left us in Oregon a rich tradition of archery,
We then unite to form a traditional archery organization.
* Taken from the constitution of the POPE YOUNG ARCHERS OF OREGON,
These are the thoughts that galvanized a close knit group of traditional archers at the Green Valley Archers range in Dexter, under a yew tree May 12th in 1984. This meeting was an outgrowth of a statewide survey that asked, among other items, "Is a traditional archery organization needed at this time?"
Although informal, the meeting or "gang of 17" was spearheaded by Dave Doran. The main agenda and concern was that modern technology was being applied to archery gear at an alarming rate, making archery "easier" and ultimately increasing success. This, of course, resulting in game managers being forced to reduce recreational opportunities archers had come to enjoy.
The meeting lasted for several hours and the first officers were elected. They were: President -Allen Boice, Vice President, Rourke Brown, Secretary-Treasurer, Dave Doran.
Several names for the group were proposed and discussed and the name we now have was chosen.
The logo was the result of several ideas, but Kirby Records submitted the best design. A professional artist tweaked the design and it remains today as it has for over 25 years. Member George Trager submitted a picture of a longbow and quiver leaning against an old outhouse, with the slogan, "Getting Back to Basics", but it wasn't chosen. In fact, George and Bill Sweetland joined to keep track of this bunch of upstarts, not sure of where we were going.

Casey Anthony is broke.
The Orlando, Fla., woman -- acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter in a trial that riveted the nation -- has $1,084 in assets and at least $792,119 in debt, according to bankruptcy documents filed in a Florida federal court and obtained by local media.
The bankruptcy documents were filed Friday, the same day an appellate court threw out two of Anthony's four misdemeanor convictions.
The remains of Anthony's daughter, Caylee, were found inside a trash bag near the family home in December 2008. Anthony, now 26, was acquitted of the killing but convicted of multiple counts of lying to investigators.
Anthony's petition for bankruptcy laid out a financial situation drained by her trial, which became a media fixation. At one point, ABC News paid Anthony $200,000 for photographs, with the money then reportedly going toward Anthony's pricey legal defense.

Flu Death Count for WA State
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The Washington state Health Department says the state has had 34 lab-confirmed flu deaths so far this flu season. Agency spokesman Donn Moyer says that figure covers confirmed deaths through Wednesday. The total is up from 28 last week. The Snohomish Health District north of Seattle says the Jan. 24 death of an Everett man in his 90s has been confirmed as a flu death. The state Health Department says there were 18 flu deaths in 2011-2012 and 36 the previous year.

United Continental did "a tremendous job" managing the aftermath of super storm Sandy, CEO Jeff Smisek told CNBC on Friday, but added that Washington's inability to navigate the "fiscal cliff" could be potentially more devastating to the airline industry.
The airline operator said Thursday that Sandy had sliced into its October revenue by about $90 million and forced it to cancel more than 5,000 flights, which left countless passengers marooned in airports around the region.
Smisek, however, said the flight cancellations were "the right thing to do," adding that the company's staffers did a "tremendous job" in the face of what the United Continental
CEO said called a logistical nightmare.
"We take very conservative actions," Smisek said. "Safety is very important and we're not going to operate a flight if it's not safe, so we make sure that we err on the side of safety all the time."
Meanwhile, markets and businesses are increasingly fretting over Washington's ability to avert a raft of tax hikes and deep spending cuts set for next year. As a result, Smisek said the so-called fiscal cliff could have a more disastrous effect on his business. (Read More: Congress Sees Rising Urgency on Fiscal Deal.)
"It makes it difficult for us to operate," Smisek said. "The uncertainty that you get with the economy [and] a second recession would be bad for everybody," he said, speaking of the impact on both passengers and airlines.
"If it happens, the demand would fall off and we'd have to adjust capacity for it, just as we do all the time," he said. Ultimately, Smisek said he had faith that Congress and the White House will get it right, adding, "They don't really have a lot of choice, do they?"

After 10 days in Costa Rica, were back in the Northern Hemisphere, in winter, in the First World, where children dont ride bikes home from school on the highway shoulder, helmet- and adult-less. Also, where you dont need a flashlight walking barefoot to the bathroom at night because of the scorpions. And where fresh local fruit is no longer an explosion of tropical fireworks, but a scrabbly apple from the root cellar.
We talk a lot in the writing classes I teach about finding different, more interesting ways to say something ordinary, but sometimes being direct works, too, as in: It rained a lot in the rainforest.
First, you hear it, the rain tapping out a little rhythm on the leaves skyscraping above, one of which could serve as a shade for your entire truck windshield. And then water spills from the leaves, the skies, squeezing out from the very cells of everything green.
If youre from a place that illustrates the word arid, this moisture these dense inner cities of fertility will blow the lid off your mind. Where my mind once contained prayers for snow and piñon trees squatting on shaley hills there are now: singing toucans, leaf-gorging howler monkeys and a new, fast friendship with a rain poncho.
We were on a 10-day eco-tour (a gift from my parents, who accompanied us), complete with enormous tour bus, intrepid and cheery senior citizens and native tour guide who, in his gorgeous accent, made it sound exotic that because much of Costa Rica doesnt have the septic system were used to, we may have to occasionally pee behind a boosh. He also told us not to smile at the animals, which may be seen as aggressive, to which Col said: But I cant help smiling at animals, which is reason No. 39 why I love him so.
Aside from pineapples and iguanas, Col and Rose were a huge attraction, being the only tour-goers (beside me and Dan) younger than 50. On our first day, Col reported that an old girl patted him on the head and called him skittle bug, which seemed like a good sign.
Despite the fact that there wasnt much room for individual preferences, coupled with long bus rides and the truth that as vacations go, Rose regards hotel bed-jumping infinitely higher than bird-watching, the kids did so well. (The long bus rides were actually a great way to see so much of the country, which, as far as I can tell, contains: jungle, pineapple/banana/coffee/papaya plantations, narrow roads, roaming dogs and very small, well-kept stucco houses. Not a big box store anywhere, even in the big city of San Jose).
Now were back, discovering that home contains all the wonderfully true clichés you can think of. We are so glad to have gone, and so glad to be back.
This morning, Dan got dressed for work, announcing, Im excited to go back to work. When I asked, what are you excited about? he said, coming home from work.

KDE Print: Developer Tutorial Now Available
A tutorial on programming with the KDEPrint module has been made available on the KDE Print web site. The tutorial is intended for application developers who wish to make use of KDEPrint within their applications. It covers the basic usage as well as more advanced features such as the print dialog customization or the automatic preview mechanism. The tutorial is illustrated with code examples and screenshots. Most of the code examples are taken from a demo application (a small image viewer), available for download. Enjoy!
Precise dimentions of an image?
Slightly OT - Is there a user way to print an image with precise measurments? I have some VCR labels, and I want to print them out with a specific height and width. I finally imported into KWord, but it seems to me there should be a quick and easy way to do it in KView or something.
If not, I'll probably make a quick and dirty cover / label printing app by hacking the example code. I print four or five labels a week. Stop me if such a beast exists.
(I've also found that the global imperial versus metric measurements settings are not recognized by several apps. I need to add that, plus a bundle of (very minor, mostly cosmetic) xinerama bugs. Plus the only annoying bug in 3.0 - an odd "you can only rename one file" bug).
By Evan "JabberWok... at Wed, 2002/04/10 - 5:00am
Re: Precise dimentions of an image?
Actually, the KPrinter object resolution defines the real size of the printed image. A 300 pixels image will be 4 inches wide when printed with 75 dpi resolution. So, programmatically, you can either set the KPrinter resolution manually so that your image have the correct size, or rescale your image according the KPrinter resolution.
About the availability of such a feature in existing tools, the demo application I wrote does it (I actually also missed that feature to print CD covers, that's why I implemented it). Normally, kuickshow should also implement something like that in future versions.

Re: Precise dimentions of an image?
Here's an idea: since CDs have a standard dimension how about having a print format for it just like for A4, Legal and bunch of envelopes. Just a thought

OFF TOPIC : writing with different encodage
What's happened ? With kde 2.2.2, I can choose the encodage with kedit (I can't choose utf-8 unfortunately, but ISO-8859-3 is one of the possibility), but now, with kde 3.0, I can't choose the encode with kedit, kwrite, kate. Hey, you simply not use different encodage. Personnaly, I need to be able to edit ISO-8859-15, ISO-8859-3 and UTF-8 text file, why is it impossible ? It's not very serious :((
