Two downtown Saratoga Springs foot pursuits lead to drug charges
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Two short foot chases in two separate incidents Saturday morning resulted in two drug arrests downtown.
The first occurred near last call at Desperate Annie's on Caroline Street.
Security guards there called police to report a man at the bar causing disturbances and refusing to leave. When police arrived, they say a man later identified as Nicholas W. Callahan, 26, of Claremont Road in Stillwater pushed his way out of the bar. When police tried to stop him, he took off running.
Police chased him two blocks to Henry Street in front of Saratoga Springs Public Library, where they tackled him. Callahan allegedly resisted arrest and injured an officer, who went to Saratoga Hospital for treatment.
Callahan was taken to the police department for processing, where he was found in possession of cocaine and prescription drugs.
He was charged with second-degree assault, a felony, and resisting arrest, second-degree obstructing governmental administration and two counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanors.
Later that morning, at about 9:45 a.m., police noticed a car near the Putnam Den bar, where they noticed what they considered suspicious activity.
While interviewing the driver, police say the passenger, 22-year-old Zebadiah J. Jackson of Troy, was acting "very nervous." They asked him to step out of the vehicle, and upon doing so he pushed an officer out of the way and took off running.
He only made it a few hundred yards before officers apprehended him.
He was charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. For the chase, he was charged with second-degree obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest, misdemeanors. He was also charged with an open-container violation.

Afraid of the deep from Nic Baudin Island
South Australia's Sea Lions as Ocean Observers
A project of Fur seal, pelagic shark and seabird tracking.

Henry's mates are now carrying satellite trackers !
This project stemmed from our need for a detailed understanding of Australian sea lion foraging behaviour. As we began to understand more about their foraging behaviour and movements at sea, Australian sea lions started teaching us about how they interact with their environment. In studying the foraging behaviour of these natural explorers, we began to record information about more than sea lion behaviour, depths, and distances. Through this work we rapidly expanded our understanding of the linkages between the ocean and coastal climate dynamics.
Our most recent undertaking is a truly interdisciplinary project, bringing together the interests of biologists studying living systems and oceanographers studying marine physics. The maritime expeditions of the Australian sea lions are now yielding data that are important to both biologists and oceanographers and refining our understanding of the intimate connections between the mechanics of the Earths oceans, and the complex ecosystems which dwell within and upon them.
The primary aim of the project is to map the foraging habitats of Australian sea lions in fine scale. We are trying to identify how sea lions change their foraging behaviour when seasonal upwellings come and go.
These Australian sea lions are carrying instruments to obtain "CTD" (conductivity - temperature - depth) profiles at high frequency, and in real-time from remote, relatively inaccessible parts of the South Australian continental shelf. We are using custom-built satellite linked CTDs to provide CTD profiles from the Bonney Upwelling. Previous real-time CTD profiles from Australian sea lions have demonstrated that they can be efficiently used as ocean observers.
This is an extremely cost-effective means of adding to existing global oceanographic data archives. It has the potential to complement existing sampling methods, especially for regions from which data are scarce and where these alternative methods may be difficult or prohibitively expensive to implement. Importanly, this approach provides a mechanism of targeting the collection of physical oceanographic data from regions that are biologically of interest (ie. where high trophic level predators feed), therefore providing greater insights into how physical ocean processes underpin marine ecosystems and commercial fisheries.
The Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) is the only endemic, and least abundant pinniped (seal and sea lions) that breeds in Australia. It is a member of the Otariidae family. Breeding populations of Australian sea lions are currently found from the Abrolhos Islands (Western Australia) to the Pages Islands (South Australia), although their historic range was far more extensive. The species hauls out and breeds on rocks and sandy beaches on the sheltered sides of islands, although there are several small colonies on the Australian mainland.
In 2008 (at the time of preparation) there were 76 known breeding locations for the Australian sea lion, 48 of which occurred in South Australia and 28 in Western Australia. The species is most numerous in South Australia. Based on pup numbers, 86% (3105 pups) of the population is found in South Australia and 14% (503 pups) in Western Australia. The estimated total population of the Australian sea lion is approximately 14700.
Australian sea lions are unique in having large numbers of small breeding colonies, low reproductive rates, a non-annual and asynchronous breeding season, high site fidelity and poor dispersal. Genetic investigation into the population structure of Australian sea lions using both mitochondrial and nuclear microsatellite DNA markers has found evidence of strong sex-biased dispersal, indicated primarily in extreme female natal site fidelity (or philopatry), which is unparalleled among other pinnipeds. Although genetic research to date has largely focused on colonies in Western Australia, it indicates extreme philopatry in females and suggests limited geographic dispersal of males between those colonies. Male dispersal between colonies appears to be limited to approximately 200km. These findings indicate that at least some Australian sea lions are genetically isolated, and that re-colonisation may not occur readily if colonies are extirpated.
Also unlike most pinnipeds that were harvested in Australia during the late 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, Australian sea lion populations have not yet recovered, and at some localities there is recent evidence of population decline.
The species was listed as threatened (vulnerable) under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) on 14 February 2005.

By: Kailey Franz
Updated: October 8, 2009
Who knew motor oil could go from old to new? Safety-Kleen in Abilene has been contributing to this cause for quite some time. The re-refined oil has been approved for all automobiles, and exceeds the highest North American standards for motor oil.
The eco-power motor oil is expected to hit the shelfs in our area by 2010. It is great way to go green in the Big Country. The company says that using eco-power recycled motor oil helps conserve our natural resources, while taking care of your car.

Premieres Wednesday April 17th at 10PM ET/PT
SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VH1 is warming up our jazz hands to prepare for our newest comedic reality series, "Off Pitch," premiering Wednesday, April 17th at 10pm ET/PT. "Off Pitch" follows a young adult show choir in Wisconsin called the Grand River Singers (GRS) where cliques, glittered jackets, jealousy, show tunes and love all blend together in this quirky musical community. What some may say they lack in talent and execution, no one can deny they make up for in pure determination and heart. They have just one goal: to take the Grand River Singers out of La Crosse, Wisconsin and onto a much larger stage like… the Great Wisconsin Cheese Festival or the Sheboygan Bratwurst Festival.
"'Off Pitch' is reality comedy gold. The Grand River Singers are just so authentic and passionate in their pure love for music and performing that you can't help but cheer them on," said Jeff Olde, VH1's Executive Vice President of Original Programming and Development.
Partners Rob and Tim, and founders of GRS, lead the group of 20-somethings and view them as their own kids. Whether they love to sing, dance or just wear feather boas, each member of GRS whole-heartedly believes that in order to get ahead in life, all you need are a pair of shiny tap shoes, a big voice and a well-rehearsed routine. But with big talent comes even bigger egos. They'll stop at nothing to win the power ballad solo or be the featured breakout dancer in the La Crosse's coveted Oktoberfest Parade. Join us for a real look into both the performance and backstage lives of this tight-knit musical family.
Will they be able to set aside their differences, perfect their numbers, and perform before the largest audiences they've ever known? Harmony, talent and friendship have never been more "Off Pitch."
"Off Pitch" is executive produced by Colleen Needles Steward, Tim Hamilton, Shannon Keenan Demers and Marilyn Wilson for Tremendous! Entertainment, Inc. Executive producing for VH1 are Jill Holmes, Tom Huffman and Jeff Olde.
VH1 connects viewers to the music, artists and pop culture that matter to them most with series, specials, live events, exclusive online content and public affairs initiatives. VH1 is available in over 99 million households in the U.S. VH1 also has an array of digital services including VH1 Classic and VH1 Soul. Connect with VH1 at www.VH1.com.

I purchased the cookie sheet and matchboxes (10 for $1) from The Dollar Tree. The paper is a Christmas stack from DCWV called "Handmade Christmas." I wrapped each box with paper, attached a small piece of sheet magnet to the back, printed out numbers and then punched them out with a circle punch. Then my hubby drilled holes in the top handle and I tied it with a big bow and left a loop to hang it with. The ribbon is from Costco.
I was in charge of doing this project at Super Saturday for a group of 18 women. If you are looking for a group craft project, I would recommend this one. It worked out really well. The approximate cost per person was $6.50. I painted the cookie sheets, cut the paper into strips and punched out the number circles beforehand. The women only had to wrap their boxes, glue everything together and tie their bow.
Some ideas of things to put in the boxes: mini candy bars (those little Mr. Goodbar and Crunch bars would fit perfectly), sing a Christmas song, read a Christmas story, read a scripture, or other holiday activities like building a snowman, making a Gingerbread house, or having a snowball fight. You can customize it to what types of things your family likes to do, how old your children are, and how much time you will have on certain days throughout the month.
I can't tell you how excited I am to start opening these boxes and getting into the Christmas spirit!

October 19 – Happy Birthday Sandy Alomar Sr.
The 1974 Yankees opened up their season with a double play combination of Gene Michael at second and Jim Mason at shortstop. Decent defensively, new Yankee skipper, Bill Virdon batted the two switch-hitters eighth and ninth respectively because both men were pretty putrid hitters from both sides of the plate. In an effort to get some more offense from their infield, the Yankees acquired a guy named Fernando Gonzalez from the Royals to play second. He responded by hitting .215 that year. Then just before that season's trading deadline, the Yankee front-office went out and purchased Sandy Alomar Sr, who was the starting second baseman for the Angels at the time. Virdon handed him the second baseman's job and Sandy responded well by hitting .269 during the second half of 1974.
As a Yankee fan back then, I can personally attest to the fact that after watching Mason, Michael and Gonzalez consistently fail to produce at the plate, having Alomar in the lineup was a huge offensive upgrade for that 1974 Yankee team. Sandy Sr. continued to start at second for New York for the entire 1975 season but his hitting fell off that year, when he averaged just .239. His offensive regression helped convince the Yankees to make the deal with Pittsburgh in December of 1975 that brought Willie Randolph to the Bronx. Alomar lost his starting job to the more talented youngster in 1976 and was traded to Texas in 1977. His 15-season big-league playing career ended the following year and Alomar then began a long coaching career . Today, Sandy, who was born on October 19, 1943 in Salinas Puerto Rico, is best remembered for being the Dad of former big league All Stars Sandy Jr. and Roberto.
Even the most diehard yankee fans will have a difficult time remembering this starting pitcher from the 1991 Yankee team who happens to share the senior Alomar's October 19th birthday.

Read And Heed Or Else!
Doesn't that sound like "Bully Talk?" We hear a lot today of bullying in school. And it really hits a sensitive spot in my heart with me because in high school I was the one being bullied. It is true that being the object of practical jokes, stupid questions, and being used to make others seem more popular with the girls or boys can do much to destroy the self-esteem of a teenager. In the following story of Kyle, I remember seeing myself in the person of Kyle because the same things happened to me.
My friend, James, sends me emails of jokes, illustrations, politics, and some great stuff! Thank you, James. Today I want to share with you a great story and some great stuff.
"One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.' I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends Saturday afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him… He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks.' They really should get lives. '
"He looked at me and said, 'Hey thanks!' There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends. He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
"Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, 'Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!' He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.
"Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous! Today was one of those days.
"I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, 'Hey, big guy, you'll be great!' He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled…. 'Thanks,' he said.
"As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began … 'Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach…but mostly your friends…. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story.'
"I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. 'Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.'
"I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions."
The lesson from this story is whether teenager or adult, anyone can be a "Kyle."
Dear readers, with one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.
Do you know the #1 cause of deaths among teenagers? Suicide….. We all know or knew someone like Kyle. There are many "Kyles" in our schools today. Even in our "adult world," there are many "Kyles." Adults can be targets of social bullying also.
Dear readers, there is no beginning or end. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. What you do with it is your gift to God.
The other day I saw these two Buffalo women at the Buffalo pond. One of the women was out for a walk when she came upon the Buffalo pond. She comes to the pond and sees another Buffalo woman on the opposite bank.
"Yoo-hoo!" she shouts, "How can I get to the other side?"
The second lady looks up the pond then down the pond and shouts back, "You are on the other side."
Worse Than Evil Incarnate?
One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, everyone in the tiny town of Buffalo got up early and went to the local church. Before the services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking about their lives, their families, etc.
Suddenly, the Devil himself appeared at the front of the congregation. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon everyone was evacuated from the Church, except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew, not moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence. Now this confused Satan a bit, so he walked up to the man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
The man replied, "Yep, sure do."
Satan asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Nope, sure ain't," said the man.
Satan was a little perturbed at this and queried, "Why aren't you afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for over 48 years."
Holding Down Two Jobs
In one small town the sheriff was also the veterinarian.
One night an agitated citizen phoned him: "We need you right away!"
"Do you need me as the sheriff or the vet?"
"Both! We can't get our dog's mouth open, and there's a burglar in it!"
Celebrating birthdays this week are Paul Phillips on Friday, January 25; Jasper Shropshire on Saturday, January 26; Tim Davis on Sunday, January 27; Edna Jenkins, Vic Elliott, Allison Booker, and Aaron Booker on Wednesday, January 30.
I hope that these wonderful people will have the BEST BIRTHDAY YET!!!
Happy Anniversary
to Thomas and Tootie Boulware as they celebrate their wedding anniversary on Tuesday, January 28. May our Father God richly bless you both as you celebrate your love for each other.
Tournament of Roses congratulations go to Robert and Peggy Queen as they celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary last Sunday, January 20. This is a marriage that was made in heaven, for sure! Are there any other Tournament of Roses Winners out there?
Prayer Concerns
I know that there are many people needing our prayers. I am aware that Connie Burgess is combating cancer. There will be a benefit at the field across from the pond on Saturday, January 26 from noon to 4 p.m., I think.
My neighbor Don Moore is still recuperating from his health issues. There is no place like home to recuperate. And isn't it a blessing to have a wife who really takes care of her man?
Let's pray for our country and our economic future.
Let's also pray for some more cold weather to kill the ants, bugs, gnats, and mosquitoes. We can also use a good dousing of snow, right?
My Thoughts
Isn't old age grand? I am "elderly" enough that when I cannot remember people's names, I just say "brother/sister" instead of their name. Sometimes people will open the store door for me thinking that I may not be strong enough to do it myself.
As my eyesight diminishes I tell my wife to understand when I have to read "Body Braille" on a female friend. She told me that if I did, I would next see the "Pearly Gates." Oh well, nice try.
I even have a Senility Prayer that is good every day.
The Senility Prayer: May God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.
Thought Of The Week
"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

coaching, Confidence, Facebook, How to, Insecurity, International Women's Day, life coach, People, Self-esteem, Sheryl Sandberg, Woman, Women
Many women secretly struggle with feelings of inadequacy, insecurity and self-doubt. Many cannot understand how significant they are or lack the ability to place a value on their experiences, skills, knowledge, loyalty, etc… Because of this, many are stuck personally and professionally. But, there is still hope. Even if confidence is lacking for you right now… it can be cultivated with practice and preparation. Instead of feeling, inadequate or insecure think of times in your life (big or small) when you did something that made you happy or proud. Make a list of those moments and read it aloud. Remember, when you were excited, happy and accomplished. Then take those feelings and believe they can come again.
I leave you with a quote from Cynthia Kersey. "Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you."

When Politics Interfere With Love
With the presidential election coming up in less than a week, there are surely more debates going on than just the ones on CNN. Every election incites arguments between friends, family, and lovers, but in this one especially, when two candidates differ so strongly on social issues, there are bound to be many impassioned fights across the country.
Obama publicly professed his support for gay marriage during his last term, while Romney and Ryan have voted for and even sponsored congressional bills that outlaw abortion and other methods of contraception. There is clearly a social divide between the two candidates. The question is, how is this impacting couples in the United States?Personally, I am an extremely liberal person. In my mind, it would be an absolute deal breaker for me if someone I was dating was conservative. But then there are those situations when people just fall in love. Maybe it's love at first sight, or maybe you fall in love with everything else about a person, and yet your political views differ vehemently. To what extent can you be close to someone whose political views are different from yours?
I am sure that it is possible, as I have friends whose parents have been happily married for years despite different political views. However, I also know that one thing that holds my boyfriend and me so close is our common view of equality for all people, gay or straight, man or woman, rich or poor. For me, it all comes down to values. I truly believe that I would never be able to love someone with such different values than me, and many of my values boil down to liberal politics. When I think about raising a family with someone down the road, I can't imagine that person not sharing the same liberal politics as me. But maybe I am wrong. Maybe it is possible to agree to disagree.
What do you all think? Is it possible to love someone and be in a relationship long term if they have different political views than you?

Who wouldn't want to see a film in which Sir Michael Caine stars? OK, "Jaws: The Revenge" was a skipper, but at age 76, Caine has two Oscars under his belt, been knighted and has made more than 140 (with two upcoming) films. In his latest, "Is Anybody There?" Caine proves to audiences that he is — hands down — one of the best actors in the history of filmmaking.
Caine plays Clarence, an aging magician who is unwittingly placed in an old-age home. He's as bitter about being there as is the owner's 10-year-old son, Edward, whose room Clarence now occupies. Edward (Bill Milner) is obsessed with the paranormal to the point of placing a tape recorder under the beds of dying residents. He hopes to glimpse into the afterlife, while Clarence fights to save his dignity as he sinks into dementia. The two forge an unlikely friendship and share the common bond of feeling displaced.
Caine's Clarence seems eerily like "Alfie" approaching death. He is consumed with regret for having been a womanizer and losing his beloved wife, who is now deceased. Clarence craves forgiveness and eventually finds it in the most unexpected places. He and Edward end up giving each other the gift they want most in life.
"Is Anybody There?" could have gone down a dark, depressing path but instead takes the high road to sweet and touching. The chemistry that evolves between Clarence and Edward is so engrossing to watch that you want more than the film offers. But director John Crowley ("Intermission") chooses to end the story on such a pitch-perfect note, one can forgive.
Once again, Caine creates another unforgettable screen portrait. His portrayal of Clarence ranks right up there with such memorable performances as Dr. Larch in "Cider House Rules," Elliott in "Hannah and her Sisters" and the role that no one will ever forget, "Alfie." He's the centerpiece in "Is Anybody There?" and, most likely, will be recognized for it at the Oscars next year.
I loved this movie, because it delicately balanced humor and pathos; because it was all about friendships, fears and forgiveness. But, most of all, I loved it because it asks the question, "Is anybody there?" and answers it with compelling compassion.

Crossing at Laredo

No, I don't trust the Monterrey area. I use a new road that goes towards Ciudad Victoria but actually avoids the town The road is like a toll road in construction but has no tolls. Then I follow the signs to Reynosa...by going thru on mx 97 which becomes texas state 281 at the us border...no need to choose a bridge as it is an unbroken straight line. We overnight in Falfurrias Texas
Thanks, We will give it a try.

To me, the best part of the Pharr crossing is avoiding that last hour that seems like 2 between the end of the Monterrey cuota and Laredo Bridge II. It's always getting dark becoming hard to see as well as dodging all that Nuevo Laredo traffic as you head toward the river.
By using Pharr, once you finish the last section of Hwy 97 after peeling off Hwy 101 to Matamoras, you get on the no-charge cuota that drops you right at the bridge. To me it was a lot less stressful than navigating through Nuevo Laredo at dusk. I also liked avoiding the wild ride approaching Saltillo and then hanging the right to get to and around Monterrey.
Plus it's $350 pesos less in tolls one way using Pharr so the savings on a round trip will fill your tank or pay for your hotel stay.
Posted 17 March 2012 - 03:31 PM
This is a new facility, very clean, wide open (not some cramped little town) and not busy. There is a drive-thru kiosk on the left before you get to the bridge where you can turn in your vehicle permit (I can't remember how it is labelled, maybe someone else can help?).
Every time (4? 5?) we have crossed there it took about 5 minutes, if that (going south takes longer, por supuesto).

I crossed at Colombia two weeks ago. Plenty of police on the road. Personally I have never crossed at Laredo when nearby Colombia is never busy.
Heading north I crossed at 1:30 PM on a Monday and there were only 4 cars in line. Also, you avoid the traffic in driving through Laredo/Nuevo Laredo.
I always entered Mexico by plane and later this year will be driving down for the first time. I have read others say that it is also not safe to enter at crossings that are too desolate. I would assume if there was going to be trouble you would stand out and be the one targeted for crime. I had planned to go through Laredo and safety in numbers was one of the reasons. I know it is very busy and had planned on leaving very early and resigned myself to the long lines and waiting.

Another advantage of this route and the overnight stop, northbound, is being able to have lunch and cross the border at mid-day, when the wait is minimal, if any at all. Returning to Mexico, we cross early in the morning at Nuevo Progresso, east of Reynosa and Rio Bravo, stopping for a large, liesurely breakfast at René's Restaurant in Nuevo Progresso. Then, we're on our way south again, with a stop in either of the towns mentioned above and arriving in Chapala in the afternoon of the second day.

Heading north on hwy (Cuota) 85 toward Nuevo Laredo exit to Puente Solidarity International Colombia border crossing and follow signs Piedras Negra then exit to Colombia bridge crossing.
ANY MORE NEWS ON THE OPENING OF THE 4 LANES FROM LAGOS DE MORENO TO SAN LUIS POTOSI.The opening of the new highway is supposed to be in March and will cut (we heard) around an hour off our trip especially with the new by pass to Zapotlanejo. Can't seem to find any more news on the grand opening of the new 4 lanes. Can anyone help?
Posted 20 March 2012 - 07:18 AM
Valerie, you no longer have to drive through C. Victoria. As you come off the Corta and pass the big fairly new Pemex on your left, you go straight at the crossroads where you used to turn left into C. Victoria. Just follow the signs to Matamoros from there, it totally bypasses C. Victoria.
I figure when the new road opens it will cut another 30 minutes off the trip time, making it 10 hours with minimal stops. As I wouldn't expect any Pemexes on the new road yet, you should gas up just before the Lagos de Moreno bypass, then gas up at the toll booth on the San Luis Potosi bypass, at the Pemex at the end of the C. Victoria Corta, and finally, there's a Pemex just before you hit the road that takes you to the Pharr bridge. Gas is cheaper in Mexico than it is in Texas.
After you cross at Pharr bridge, go straight into Pharr, turn left at Sam Houston and the Travelodge is on your right about a mile down the road. In the morning, retrace back to where you turned left, turn left there and it will put you right back on 281 headed north. That is 4 lanes all the way.
John is right about the travel time being the same. Plus you hit San Antonio on the east side where you bypass it without going out of your way on the 410.
Posted 20 March 2012 - 08:09 AM
Someone commented on the gas stations around Lagos De Moreno...they are correct, the gas stations are on the old road and they now have a metal guard rail up so you can't get to them.
Our return trip the following Sat. was not nearly as delightful...went to Colombia and the parking lot was FULL! It was spring break and the folks that were in line with us said they had been to Laredo and there were at 100 buses...what usually takes us 15-20 minutes took us close to 3 hours....
I did do the Pharr crossing once...I found the road to have little traffic and I did not feel quite as safe...nothing happened and no one said or did anything, I guess there are just so many cars/trucks on the quotas headed to Laredo from here, it is a false sense of security.

As they argue over the new program by which prisoners involved with rehabilitative pursuits earn reductions in their sentences, state officials keep missing the point.
Yes, two prisoners who received credits toward early release were charged soon after their release with the murder of store clerks during robberies in Meriden and East Hartford. But the prisoners had not received much time off their sentences and, assuming their new guilt, it's hard to imagine that their serving a little more prison time would have changed their behavior once released.
Indeed, since, quite apart from the early release program, about 70 percent of prisoners are back in serious trouble with the law soon after they leave prison, the important question is whether the rate of return to crime -- recidivism -- is any better or worse with prisoners who have gone through the program. The program is too new to evaluate well, but the limited evidence is that it hasn't made things any worse than they were, which was bad enough.
Recidivism generally is the compelling point about the early release program and criminal justice. In Connecticut one has to work hard at crime to get a prison sentence, and most people sentenced to prison are already chronic offenders and incorrigibles — like the ex-cons charged in the recent murders in Meriden and East Hartford.
The most recent case in the early release controversy emphasizes this — the case of a 49-year-old man released from prison 6 1/2 months early and soon charged with indecent exposure on a bus in Middletown. He already has had 28 convictions, including one for rape at knifepoint 22 years ago. So how could anyone really have thought that a rehabilitation program would change his behavior? And how could anyone really think that holding him another 6 1/2 months would have changed it?
That is, in Connecticut it's possible to accumulate 28 convictions, some of them violent felonies, and still not receive a life sentence and still be released even though prison destroys far more than it rehabilitates character and the character of most prisoners was destroyed long before they got to prison in the first place.
The only solution is for the law to set a threshold of incorrigibility requiring a life sentence beyond judicial discretion. It wouldn't have to be the three felonies of a "three strikes" law. Even a "20 strikes" law, a combination of felonies and misdemeanors, would be a vast improvement. Without that, most criminal justice will remain a revolving door and a waste of time and the law-abiding will remain unprotected. For the problem isn't early release — it's any release.
In recent weeks Republican Senate candidate Linda McMahon has been broadcasting television and radio commercials denouncing her Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, as a "career politician." Murphy has been in office for 14 years, moving from the General Assembly to Congress in 2007.
At the same time McMahon summoned four prominent Republicans to campaign for her:
Maine Sen. Susan Collins, who began holding positions in government in 1975 and has served in the Senate since 1996. Continued...
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a two-term state legislator appointed to the Senate in 2002 to succeed her father, who had served there for 22 years before being elected governor.
Arizona Sen. John McCain, a 30-year member of Congress.
And former Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell, who held elective office for 28 years.
All four McMahon campaigners have had political careers far longer than Murphy's, and yet McMahon believes that the public should think well of them anyway.
McMahon's sneer about "career politicians," as stupid and hypocritical as it is demagogic, needs the response given in 1948 by Tennessee Sen. Alben Barkley to sneers about "bureaucrats," the political buzz word back then. "A bureaucrat," Barkley said, "is a Democrat who has a job some Republican wants."

A plus if you speak French as the staff barely understands English. Reception people are not very helpful and a concierge would make the experience significantly better. The spa is disappointing: great view yet no service and closes too early (7 pm) Breakfast buffet is average. Location (very central) is the best part of the hotel.

on hover change width
hey guys please check this site http://testz.salamandra-review.com/ When is loaded please hover on any post and you'll see that the width changes but it pushes all other posts.
I don't want it like that. I want the post to go over other posts on hover, not to push them.
How can I do that.
Thank you for your time my friends!
I think you should replace that method for showing the ingredients. Its not convenient because you can navigate freely back and forth. And the last thumbnail has problems with :hover.
@bondigor69, I got a basic idea going for you by putting a negative left margin on the hovered div
@ChrisP thank you it works now
Hey @ChrisP there is still a smal problem when you hover on the first post of 2nd row???? How can I fix that
@bondigor69, it's because of the transition, just remove that
You can solve the problem by putting each item in a container, having it be relatively positioned with a width of the default view. Then have an inner container which you manipulate the width of that's positioned absolutely. Then your layout won't change as what's "changing" is a container that doesn't effect layout.
It's extra markup but it will achieve what you want.
@dougoftheabaci is right. You could try that. Use jQuery instead of CSS when animating on hover.

Interpretive Handbook
‹ Back to index | Back to list | More information
Test 84420:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibodies, IgG and IgM, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in organ transplant recipients and individuals with AIDS. (1,2) CMV is also responsible for congenital disease of the newborn. The most common infections with CMV in immunocompromised hosts result from reactivation of the virus (latent) from a previous infection, transmission of the virus from a donor organ or blood product, or initial or primary contact with the virus in a seronegative patient. Infection in immunologically normal patients can cause mononucleosis similar to that produced by infection with Epstein-Barr virus.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of primary, acute phase infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV), especially in patients with infectious mononucleosis and pregnant women who, based on clinical signs or exposure, may have primary CMV infection
Determining whether a patient (especially organ donors, blood donors, and prospective transplant recipients) had CMV infection in the past
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Individuals with negative cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG results are presumed to have not experienced infection with CMV and, therefore, are susceptible to primary infection.
Positive CMV IgG results indicate past or current CMV infection. Such individuals are potentially at risk of transmitting CMV infection through blood products; the likelihood of transmission by other modes is not known.
A ratio of > or =2 in paired sera (acute and convalescent) IgG values, along with a convalescent antibody level of >6, indicates a seroconversion has occurred and may be indicative of a recent infection.
CMV infections are quite common. Approximately 60% to 85% of the population is believed to be infected by age 18.
Negative CMV IgM results suggest that an individual is not experiencing a recent infection. However, a negative result does not rule out primary CMV infection. It has been reported that CMV-specific IgM antibody was not detectable in 10% to 30% of cord blood sera from infants demonstrating infection in the first week of life. In addition, up to 23% (3/13) of pregnant women with primary CMV infection did not demonstrate detectable CMV IgM responses within 8 weeks post-infection. In cases of primary infection where the time of seroconversion is not well defined, as high as 28% (10/36) of pregnant women did not demonstrate CMV IgM antibody.
Positive CMV IgM results indicate a recent infection (primary, reactivation, or reinfection).
IgM antibody responses in secondary (reactivation) CMV infections have been demonstrated in some CMV mononucleosis patients, in a few pregnant women, and in renal and cardiac transplant patients. Levels of antibody may be lower in transplant patients with secondary rather than primary infections.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Sera drawn very early in the acute stage of disease may have IgG levels <4 AU/mL.
The VIDAS cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG assay demonstrates a linear dilution response to concentration. However, no international standard has been established.
The IgG titer of a single specimen should not be used to aid in the diagnosis of recent infection. Paired (acute and convalescent) specimens should be drawn and tested concurrently to look for seroconversion which may be indicative of primary or recent infection or of reactivation of a pre-existing latent process with active viral excretion.
Positive test results may not be valid in persons who have received blood transfusions or other blood products in the past several months.
Lack of significant increase in IgG antibody level does not exclude the possibility of CMV infection.
IgM responses can vary from patient to patient. A negative result does not preclude the possibility of recent primary CMV infection.
Serum specimens with total IgG concentrations of > or =20 mg/mL may cause interference in the CMV IgM assay.
Results must be used in conjunction with clinical symptoms and patient history.
A specimen taken late after the convalescent stage of infection may not contain detectable levels of IgM antibodies to CMV. Because CMV IgM antibody may persist for many months after primary infection, its detection in a single serum specimen is of limited value in determining the timing when infection occurred. Negative results do not preclude recent infection by CMV.
This test should not be used as a general screen in the absence of clinical symptoms or known exposure.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is known to be a potent B-cell stimulator. Infections with EBV have been suspected to elicit antigen-specific IgM responses in individuals previously sensitized to a variety of non-EBV infectious agents.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
CYTOMEGALOVIRUS ANTIBODIES, IgG
<4 AU/mL (negative)
4-5 AU/mL (equivocal)
> or =6 AU/mL (positive)
CYTOMEGALOVIRUS ANTIBODIES, IgM
Negative (reported as positive or negative)
The presence of IgM class antibodies or a convalescent IgG antibody level of >6 AU/mL combined with a ratio of > or =2 in a paired sera (seroconversion) IgG titer indicates recent infection. The presence of only IgG antibodies generally indicates past infection with CMV.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
We got this for my son for his birthday. My kids love donuts. They really enjoyed helping me measure out all the ingredients and put it all together. We weren't sure how much the recipe would make, so we doubled it which turned out to be unnecessary. The recipe yields plenty of donuts. The kids really enjoyed decorating them too. Only thing i'd improve is making the recipe instructions a little more clear and easy to follow but otherwise, this was a great product that my 6 and 8 year old sons love.

Great gift for little bakers!
By SwellMel
from Southern Colorado
I bought the cupcake maker for my 7-year-old daughter as a Christmas gift. She loves to help me bake and uses her Easy Bake oven a lot so I thought this would enable her to be more independent. Sure enough, she absolutely loves it. We have developed a recipe for her by altering a healthy store-bought mix and her cupcakes are in high demand. She makes them for family and friends a lot and enjoys the self esteem she's gained by making something on her own that so many people enjoy. The only downside to her using this by herself is that it gets extremely hot and she came close to burning herself before I got her some little oven mitts and we developed a safer procedure for dropping in the batter as well as getting the cupcakes out. Also, it does take much longer to make an entire batch since you're only making seven at a time. My daughter doesn't mind this however and it keeps her happily occupied for at least an hour.

Interstate 540 traffic creeps to a stand still during many hours of the day.
As construction pushes on, an estimated 52,000 drivers will be stalled by lane closures.
Even first responders have to consider alternate routes on Interstate 540 during the construction.
"Are there other routes that you have found that still get you the same response time?" our reporter asked.
"There is, there is. We've made some alternatives routes especially responding to peak times during the day," said Aaron Howell, a paramedic for Fort Smith EMS.
For Fort Smith EMS, their priority is getting to a 911 scene quickly.
The year and a half long construction project has veteran paramedics plotting new routes to take.
Officials say response time hasn't changed, but their choice in roads have.
"If we're running in a construction zone they may not have a whole room to pull off on so -- pull off on the shoulder to get out of our way. So we're trying to divert ourselves around the traffic," said Howell.
First responders said their ambulances are staged throughout the city.

Educator takes lesson from Kenyans
Katie Kirsch with Latifah, a student at Wings of Life in Kibera, Kenya. Latifah will be in class 5 next year and she would like to be a teacher when she grows up. | PROVIDED
Article Extras
Updated: February 11, 2013 6:01AM
WINNETKA — Instead of spending her Thanksgiving at home, North Shore Country Day School Academic Integrator Katie Kirsch was receiving thanks from students during a volunteer trip across the world.
As part of a team affiliated with Be Free Revolution, Kirsch spent 10 days in Nairobi, Kenya to volunteer with the young school children of Africa.
"I had heard about the organization because it was founded by my cousin's sister-in-law," Kirsch said. "One of the things that appealed to me is they form partnerships with the same schools in Africa and visit those schools each trip. They build solid relationships."
Those in the Kenyan community craft handmade products like fabric goods and jewelry, which are then sold by Be Free Revolution to provide money for counseling victims of rape and violence and to supply local mentors for children in need.
"Their model really spoke to me on several levels," Kirsch said. "(Particularly) the education piece and empowering local women in the community. I had always wanted to do a trip of that nature and be involved in some type of service."
After leaving Nov. 15 and embarking on the 40-hour trip to Kenya, Kirsch got right to work helping students and teachers in the local schools.
She also spent time speaking with and mentoring groups of young female students, educating them about making good choices in regards to their bodies, friends and schoolwork.
"We did a lot of team building games, developed self-confidence and prepared them for one of their state exams," Kirsch said.
In addition to volunteering with the teenagers, Kirsch's team organized a field day for a school in nearby Kibera. The entire student body was able to ride a bus out of the slums to spend the day visiting a local park.
"They had never been out of the slum or on a school bus," Kirsch said. "Many had never been at a wide-open space where they could run and many had never even seen grass."
At the field, the students played games familiar to American playgrounds, including "duck, duck, goose," "red rover" and "freeze tag."
In the weeks after returning, Kirsch was able to reflect on her trip and share her experiences with the North Shore Country Day School community.
"I went into it expecting it to be different, but it was really quite humbling to see them learning and enjoy learning with so little," Kirsch said. "Kids are excited and feel so lucky to attend school. They don't have running water or electricity, some of the kids don't have pencils and they fashion their notebook from scraps of paper, but they are excited every day to go to school and learn."

This morning I went hunting for a the correct publisher for a FTP Command Line application for windows. According to the collected record the publisher was http://www.software-download.name/windows-command-line-ftp/ – so I started out by looking up the website. Of course, no publisher record was immediately available on the website, but then I took a closer look at a screenshot of the application, and there I found the missing information.
Software Download is a website promoting applications from programmers all over the world, the programmer is Donalod Tu.

Fox Killer Shot One, Trapped Others
Because the animals found Friday in Quarry Park are thought to be foxes, the case has been turned over to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Information about what was first thought to be 11 skinned puppies that were found Friday in Quarry Park continues to trickle down from official sources. DNA samples taken from what are now presumed to be young foxes have been sent out to be analyzed, said Christine Wiggins, Lehigh County Humane Officer. It will take weeks for the results to be returned. Only then will the animals' species be confirmed. Somebody used a shotgun to kill one of the foxes, Wiggins said, and the others look to have been trapped. Since they are thought to have been wild animals, the case has been turned over to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, she said. PGC Officer Kevin Halbfoerster said he is still collecting information on the case. He has the Humane Society…
