Honoring the best: City recognizes its top firefighters
By Kenny Green, email@example.com
The Mesquite Fire Department presented its annual meritorious awards during the regular council meeting on Monday, March 4. Among the top awards were Fire Officer of the Year, Paramedic of the Year, Firefighter of the Year and several lifesaving awards.
"This year we are honoring 23 individuals for their professional and courageous service," said Mark Kerby, fire chief.
Captain David Shedd was named Fire Officer of the Year. Shedd has been with the department since 1984.
Brian Lester was honored as Paramedic of the Year. Lester has been with the department since 2003.
"[He] is a conscientious and professional paramedic that helps our customers in any way possible," Spurgin said.
The award for firefighter of the year was presented to Patrick Wilson. Wilson has been with the department for 27 years.
"He has served on the apparatus committee for four years and has helped to improve our apparatuses," Spurgin said.
In addition, there were several lifesaving awards handed out as part of the ceremony. The first award was given to a group of firefighters and paramedics who were dispatched to a nursing center. The crew arrived and found a man unresponsive.
"Upon transportation to the hospital, the man regained consciousness and was able to sign his own patient treatment form," Spurgin said.
The recipients of the award were Jon Moore, Vance Lay, Tommy Green, Travis Block and Dan Turner.
The second lifesaving award was presented to a crew who treated a patient who coded en route to the hospital. They performed CPR and she recovered. A letter was sent to the department thanking the crew for saving her life.
The award was presented to Billy Massey, Mike Bartis, Mike Potter, Jeff Dillon and Jason Powell.
The next award was presented to a crew who performed a defibrillation on an unconscious woman and got her to the hospital for future care. The award was given to Billy Massey, David Ivie, Jeff Dillon, Jason Powell and Mike Potter.
Another lifesaving award was presented to a crew who found an unconscious man sitting upright in a chair. They began CPR and he regained a pulse and lost it twice during transfer. The recipients were Harlan Lowrance, Donald Childress, Jimmy Reimer, Bobby Bryant and Jesse Kingery.
The fifth lifesaving award was presented to a crew who treated an elderly man and continued to perform lifesaving intervention en route to the hospital. The man survived as a result of their action. The award recipients were Mark Lacey, Marvin Hughes, Jesse Kingery, Robert Milby and Brian Lester.
The final award presented was to a group who treated a 29-year-old female in cardiac arrest. After defibrillation the patient regained a pulse. The award was presented to David Shedd, Kenneth Crawford, Bobby Bryant, Jonathan Herb, Matthew Taylor and Ronald Buie.

Smoking fish really heightens its flavour, and the tomato salsa offsets it beautifully
Recipe uploaded by
Difficulty and servings
Serves 4
Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 30 mins
- PREPARING THE SMOKER - I like to use a steamer to smoke the fish in as they are designed to be a snug fit so none of the smoke can escape. I think wood chips make a much better smoking material than tea, which can impart a bitterness to food. We use applewood chips in the restaurants as they add extra flavour.
- Put the wood chips in the bottom half of the steamer (line it with some foil first to protect the pan). Put the lid on and put over a high heat. It will take about 4-5 minutes for the chips to start blackening and smoking. Keep giving the pan a shake to re-distribute the chips. Once the smoke really starts to get going, throw a few sprigs of rosemary on top of the chips - this will add even more flavour during smoking.
- SMOKING THE FISH - Line the top part of the steamer with a small circle of baking parchment (make sure there are a few holes exposed for the smoke to come through). Drizzle with olive oil then season and lay the sardines flesh-side down on top of the pan with the wood chips so they get seasoned while they smoke. Sit the steamer on top and cover with the lid. You can put a sheet of foil under the lid to give it a better seal if you want. The fillets are quite delicate so they will only take 5 minutes to cook. Leave them alone and don't be tempted to look or you'll get a face full of smoke.
- After 5 minutes take the pan off the heat, remove the top part with the sardines and leave the bottom pan covered with a lid to cool down (put it outside if you like). You want to serve the sardines at room temperature so just put them aside while you make the salsa.
- MAKING THE SALSA - I flash-fry my salsa so that the veg get seared and all the juices are concentrated. Heat a non-stick pan until smoking hot then add a drizzle of olive oil. Tip in the shallots, tomatoes and basil and toss. You want to get a really roasted flavour on to the veg but it will only take a couple of minutes. Use a splash of white balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan - normal balsamic will stain the salsa and it won't look as attractive. Tip onto a plate so it doesn't keep cooking, then season.
- Fry the soda bread slices in a little olive oil until crisp all over and browned.
- PLATING UP - To serve, put a couple of slices of bread on each plate, top with some of the salsa and 2 of the sardines. Drizzle with a little olive oil and lemon juice to finish.
Ask the fishmonger to prepare the sardines; you want them gutted, cleaned, with the head off and the backbone removed, so you are just left with double fillets, joined by the tail.

Flash on iPhone is just around the corner
EDIT: The Skyfire browser for iPhone allows you to view Flash video directly on your iPhone.
EDIT: Here are the details on Apple and Adobe collaborating on an iPhone Flash player.
EDIT: Here is an update on the whole Flash on iPhone situation.
We've been waiting for Flash support to hit the iPhone ever since…well…it launched. We've had to make do without Flash for almost eight months, and YouTube even had to convert a bunch of their catalog to H.264 in order for the service to be enjoyed on the iPhone. Well, we've just got word from a reliable source that Flash support is on its way to the iPhone, and it should be coming very, very soon. Speculating a bit further on our own, we are guessing that it would be pretty convenient for Flash support to be introduced alongside the iPhone SDK, wouldn't you say? Now, we know that there isn't much information here, but you also know how strong our sources are too - Flash on the iPhone is coming, just take our word for it, okay?
EDIT: We already have had a couple people ask about the supposed battery and CPU issues that were holding Flash back from being included on the iPhone in the first place. From what I am hearing, it was a complete fabrication. Flash has not yet made it to the iPhone solely due to business negotiations. As we said, it is now on its way!

Good read…and it makes sense. Unfortunately, the only comment that I have is that I gave you the information that I got from our sources. They've come through for us in the past, but quite honestly, we never know until we get our hands on it.
I think that GL's "source" has proven them selves in the past with the 1.1.3 leak and I am really hopping this is the same story.
@seanonymous - Yes, 1.1.4 is out, but the SDK isn't. Of course, the whole "Flash alongside SDK" thing is my own prediction, and not anything that came from a source. I am still holding out for that. We'll see.
I hope you're right about flash being around the corner. The reality is that everybody has invested so much of their time and money on flash/actionscript development that we will be extremely unhappy if we can't use our existing skills and existing hard work on this new important platform. It's not just about flashy intros and adverts, there's been tons of recent development in very cool and very useful flash apps.
look all of you people knew everything about the iphone ( flaws n advantages) before it even came out n we (even me) went out n bought it so now we gotta suck it up n deal with it don't like it then get an ordinary phone!!!

I always anticipate cooking with fresh herbs in the summer-time. The smells and tastes of just-picked herbs are simply incomparable.
One of our recent lunch classes at The Good Cooking Store was "Cooking with Fresh Herbs." We chose a selection of herby recipes—some of which require no cooking at all!
Here is a refreshing summer soup which we made in the class. It is a great way to expand cucumbers from your garden into more of your diet. And it will cool you down on a warm summer night!

Read into this what you will.
Doug Hoffman, twice a Conservative Party congressional candidate in the north country, send an email to likeminded tea partiers on Thursday telling them not to give up. He links to an article by Bob Lonsberry, and adds some thoughts of his own.
Mr. Hoffman seriously considered getting into the race in 2012, but decided against it and supported Republican Matt Doheny. Mr. Doheny lost narrowly to Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh.
Here's Mr. Hoffman's missive:
I am not ready to give up, are you? However, this article does have a lot of truth in it and shows just how hard our battles will be going forward. I have been feeling the underlying points in this article increasingly during my four years of involvement in our political war to save our constitution and our founding principles. In the treatment of alcoholics, admitting the facts is the first step to the cure.
Yes, we are now the minority, not the silent majority. And it is my fault and everyone else that let this go on far too long. (I realize that many of you have been involved for much longer and I congratulate and thank you!) Shame on all of us who were complacent, complicit, apathetic and/or not involved in our local, state and federal political agenda and those of us who allowed the progressive, liberal cancer infestation grow and grow over the last 100 years.
We must persist if we are going to save America from this cancer ,save the America that we all know and love, the America that was once the greatest nation on earth and the America that once more can be. But only if we preserve the America that is the land of opportunity because of its constitutional protection of personal freedoms.
Remember that a citizen who is dependent on its government becomes a slave to that government. Also recall Benjamin Franklin when he said something to the effect that we don't have a democracy, we have a republic, but only if we can keep it. Once people realize that they can raid our treasury with their votes, a republic is self destructive by democracy (majority rules because the courts are weighted and we no longer have a balance of power). We are now there along with official wealth redistribution, which is the biggest sin against our personal freedoms, constitution and founding principles. They said it will only take one generation to destroy our Republic. Do we want to go down in history as that generation?
We need to continue the battles (I mean this in a political sense, not violence sense), not for us, but for our grandchildren and many more generations to come. If not us, then who will? If not now, then when? As in any war, it gets very lonely, discouraging and bleak in the mist of losing battles with no end or victory in sight. It is really the darkest just before the dawn. Certainly today is the darkest we have seen.
Pessimists give up and lose, optimists find a way and win. Let's all be optimistic and keep fighting and looking for the way to the ultimate victory. Are you optimistic, are you with me? If so, let's fight on!
Please pass this on.
Best regards,
Doug Hoffman
Matt Doheny, who lost his second try at a seat in Congress on Tuesday to Democrat Bill Owens, sent a thank-you letter via email to supporters this morning.
It's a gracious, classy read. Here it is in full:
The television ads have stopped. The signs are coming down. And the lights from the TV camera have been packed away. But there is one thing I still must do before this campaign officially comes to a close.
I need to thank you.
Thank you to the thousands upon thousands of people who I met on the campaign trail in this congressional district. Your passion for a positive change and a new direction in this country kept me going even in the toughest days.
Thank you to the hundreds of people who volunteered for this campaign. Whether you put a sign in your yard, wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper, spent hours at a phonebank or going door-to-door, you made a didference. We didn't win - but this race was decidedly close. And that's all thanks to your hard work.
Thank you to the hundreds of people who gave money to this campaign. We cherished every donation - from $2 to $2,500 - because we knew it represented a personal sacrifice. You lived with a little less, so we could continue on. I am truly grateful for your support.
I was honored to take up the cause on behalf of all of us who wanted a smaller government, fewer taxes and a less adversarial relationship between our job creators and our government.
There were unanticipated national forces at work that ultimately helped my opponent. Even though our district was Republican on paper, President Obama won this district by a decisive six points. No Republican challenger in the entire nation won in a district that the president carried - and I was no exception. I'm not making excuses. A loss is a loss. And it's time for me to move on.
Mary and I are looking forward to stepping out of the spotlight and spending some much needed time together as newlyweds. It's time for that long-overdue honeymoon. But we'll return to the north country - and we hope to see you around.
One last time, before we close this chapter, I want to tell you again how much I truly appreciate your encouragement and support these past few years. I simply could not have done it without you. Thank you.
Matt Doheny
The attached map should help explain, in a demographic context, how Republican Matt Doheny lost the 21st Congressional District race.
Sure, there's a lot to be said about a low-key but successful campaign by Democratic Rep. Bill Owens (few doubters are saying "lackluster" today). And Mr. Doheny's campaign had its own litany of problems. But the map shows that several north country counties shifted toward President Obama versus their totals in 2008.
The map is based on stats by New York Public Interest Research Group stats wiz Bill Mahoney, who used New York Times data.
Five counties voted in lower percentages for Mr. Obama in 2012 than voted for Mr. Obama in 2012. That includes St. Lawrence, a majority Obama county that he still won big. But seven counties saw an uptick in Obama votes, including Jefferson and Lewis.
More on this in tomorrow's newspaper.
It's 2:22 a.m. on Wednesday morning, 21 hours after I started my workday, five hours since polls closed and about two years until they open up again.
I can think of no better time to say goodbye.
My tenure at the Watertown Daily Times is coming to an end on Friday. I'll still provide updates about the implications of last night's election, so my voice on this blog will not yet go silent. But sadly, for me, it soon will.
Thank you, loyal reader, for listening to my stories and forgiving my faults. I've learned a lot, and I have you to thank.
A special thanks, too, to the editors and sources who had to put up with me.
I won't be far. I'm going to write for nj.com, covering politics and business development in Middlesex County. If you'd like to get in touch, my email address is email@example.com.
It has been an immense pleasure.
Brian McGrath, a Lowville native who ran for state Assembly in 2010, won my contest to see who could predict the results of the 21st Congressional District election, according to unofficial results.
Before polls closed, Mr. McGrath issued the following prediction: Rep. Bill Owens, 50 percent, Republican Matt Doheny, 47 percent, and Green Party candidate Don Hassig, 2 percent.
Absentees still must be counted, but unofficial results have the tally at 50 percent Owens, 48 percent Doheny, 1.5 percent Hassig.
Congrats to Mr. McGrath, who wins a photograph of President Barack Obama, signed by me.
With his apparent victory last night and the departure of a few members in front of him, Democratic Rep. Bill Owens is in line for a leadership post on the Agriculture Committee.
He could be the ranking minority member of a subcommittee, potentially Conservation and Energy. Mr. Owens was first elected in 2009. He said he'd be happy with any slot he gets.
"I haven't given that a lot of thought," Mr. Owens said. "I was so consumed by the activity of the last couple of months."
It's less clear whether he'll move up the leadership chain in the House Armed Services Committee, a much larger group of legislators.
When Congress gets back in session, one of the first major issues will be passing the farm bill.
U.S. Rep. William L. Owens has won a third term in Congress, defeating Republican Matthew A. Doheny, 50 to 48 percent, according to unofficial results Tuesday night.
At a campaign rally in Plattsburgh after all precincts had reported, Mr. Owens, a Plattsburgh Democrat, told raucous partygoers he would continue to fight for his constituents.
"It's an honor to represent each of you in Congress," Mr. Owens said.
Mr. Doheny, speaking to supporters at his election-night rally at the Italian-American Civic Association on Bellew Avenue, said he was leaving politics.
"I truly gave everything we had," the Watertown resident said. "There's nothing more we could have done."
For Mr. Doheny, it was a loss at the ballot box and also a stunning personal defeat for a man accustomed to success. Winning a seat in Congress had been a nearly lifelong goal for Mr. Doheny when he was growing up on High Street in Alexandria Bay.
He had several built-in advantages: Outside groups far outspent Mr. Owens's campaign on Mr. Doheny's behalf, and Republicans far outnumbered Democrats in the district. But the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Owens campaign waged a relentless battle with soldiers marching to a singular drumbeat: Mr. Doheny is not of the north country. It was a particularly stinging accusation against a man friends said never fit in in New York City, where he made millions working for Wall Street firms in the 2000s.
In the end, his success became a liability, with Democrats labeling him "millionaire Matt Doheny." He invested $3 million of his own money in his two congressional campaigns, in 2010 and 2012. He also flirted with running in 2009.
Donald L. Hassig, the Green Party candidate, received just shy of 2 percent of the vote.
There are still about 20,000 absentee ballots to be counted, but Mr. Doheny would have to win upward of 60 percent of those ballots, and he acknowledged that such an outcome was unlikely.
Mr. Owens thanked staff members and organized labor, which he said did a "tremendous job" in the heavily Republican district.
Mr. Owens continues to be an unlikely representative in a seat that was dominated by Republicans for generations. He has worked to maintain an independent, moderate image, and even after the results were tallied, he continued to do so in his victory speech.
"I hope (the election) causes us to come to rational compromise," Mr. Owens said in his victory speech, which was broadcast on WWNY-TV.
He will be sworn in for a third time in January, but before that happens, Congress has much to do, including measures to stave off steep defense cuts and a tax increase on the middle class. With President Barack Obama's victory, the lame-duck session will likely be more productive than it would have been if Republican Mitt Romney had won. Mr. Owens said he'd continue working for the middle class when Washington gets back to work.
Mr. Owens's victory was buoyed by a strong showing in St. Lawrence County. He also kept it close in Jefferson and Lewis counties.
According to unofficial results, Mr. Doheny won Jefferson County 51 percent to 48 percent, with nearly all precincts reporting. Mr. Doheny also won Lewis County 52 percent to 47 percent. But Mr. Owens far eclipsed those margins in St. Lawrence County, winning 58 percent to 41 percent. Mr. Doheny trailed by 4,713 districtwide on election night. Mr. Owens defeated Mr. Doheny by 5,738 votes in St. Lawrence County.
On Tuesday night, Mr. Doheny said he will not run for elected office again, but left his event before speaking to reporters. Donald G.M. Coon III, the Jefferson County Republican Party chairman, said Mr. Doheny was right to concede the race, calling him a "gentleman."
"We all knew it was going to be close," Mr. Coon said. "It just didn't trend our way."
The Albany Times Union is reporting that a state Supreme Court judge has signed an order to impound ballots in the 21st Congressional District.
The move ensures that all ballots are treated equally in case of a contentious recanvass or further court cases between Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, and Republican Matt Doheny.
In other words: We could be here awhile.
If we don't know the results of the election between Democratic Rep. Bill Owens and Republican Matt Doheny tonight or early tomorrow morning, we probably won't know it for another week and a half, at least.
As many as 24,199 absentee votes might have to be counted, and then there's an untold number of provisional or "affidavit" ballots to be tallied. If all 24,199 absentee ballots come in, turnout is 6 percent among active voters just for that form of voting.
What happens if the race is within 2,000 votes tonight? No call. We'll have to rely on the absentees and the recanvass.
Jefferson County will start counting absentees on Nov. 15; St. Lawrence County will start counting on Nov. 16. Those are two of the jump-ball counties. Adding Lewis into the mix, Mr. Owens leads by 3 percentage points, according to the most recent Siena poll.
So, provided that the election is close, it's not just a long night that we have to worry about.
More than 19,300 people who live in the 21st Congressional District have already cast their ballots for election day, and as many as 24,199 could eventually be returned, representing 6 percent of all active voters, according to my count.
The 19,300 number is very preliminary. Expect it to rise as county Boards of Elections start filing their absentees. There's a chance that it will be awhile before we know who won the 21st Congressional District race. The race was only 2,000 votes apart last time around. If it's that close on election night and there are more than 20,000 absentees left to be counted, we'll have to make a game-time decision on making a call in the Bill Owens-Matt Doheny race.
I was the 132nd voter in my precinct today (I voted in the presidential election, which I did not cover, but not any of the local elections, which I have). I was the 218th person to put a ballot in the machine. I voted at the First Nazarene Church on Thompson Boulevard, where I play rec league basketball every Wednesday.
We might have to move some furniture around for our game tomorrow night.
Election officials have told me that there's a steady stream of voters today, and turnout might be up over 2008, but it's too early to tell. It's certainly going to eclipse the number of people who voted in 2009 and 2010.
Keep in mind that with only a few more waves of envelopes arriving, the absentee total will be roughly equal to the total turnout for any of the three primaries that New York held this year.

"I'd think of something I wanted to eat and I'd find a cookbook and get the recipe," said Prescott, 71. "Not everything I made was good."
The mother of three and grandmother of two still remembers the first cooking show she ever saw. It was when she was living in Sturgis for a short period of time and it was put on by the Tombigbee Electric Power Association.
"I don't remember the name of the show or the lady's name who did the cooking, but I remember there was a big light bulb behind her," she said. "I still have her recipe for chocolate pie that I use."
Prescott got some of her kitchen know-how from her husband's grandmother, with whom they lived for a year when they first married.
"After that, Eddy's grandmother would come to Sturgis and stay with us for three weeks at a time," she said. "I learned a lot from her."
Prescott said all the cooking she's ever done has been traditional Southern fare.
"We didn't eat fancy food," she said. "We didn't know what it was. I didn't eat shrimp growing up, but I love it now. Boiled shrimp is my favorite meal."
Prescott said she doesn't cook now like she did when she first married and when she had three children to feed every day.
"We don't eat much salt," she said. "We limit sugar and butter. We don't eat as much beef, but we eat a lot of chicken. I think most people our age have altered the way they eat from the way they did growing up."
Supper might be chicken tenders, potato salad and baked beans or baked pork chops, sweet potato casserole and green bean bundles.
"I used to cook Sunday dinner, but I don't anymore," Prescott said. "On Mondays, I pick my two grandchildren up from school and I cook dinner for them and my son and his wife. I don't ask them what they want. I just usually fix what I want to, because I know what they like."
In fact, those grandchildren - 11-year-old Meredith and 7-year-old Mayes - are getting cooking lessons from their grandmother.
"I've been doing it with Meredith since she was 3," Prescott said. "I'd measure it out and she'd dump it in. She's turning into a pretty good little cook. My grandson doesn't have that good of an attention span yet. He'll just say, 'You go ahead and finish it.' But he'll get there."
When Prescott isn't cooking for or with family, she's likely preparing meals for a care ministry at New Albany Presbyterian Church.
"We see that new moms or people who have been in the hospital have food when they get home, and we have a funeral ministry," she said. "That's a real blessing for us. It does more for us then it does for them, actually."
Do you know a good cook? Send your nominations to Ginna Parsons, Cook of the Week, P.O. Box 909, Tupelo, MS 38802. Or you can fax them to (662) 842-2233 or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Why would BMW spend the time and money required to design an almost completely new boxer engine -- OK, a completely new top end -- for just five horsepower and four pound-feet of torque? It seems a pittance, especially since the previous 1,200-cubic-centimetre opposed-twin produced a healthy 105 ponies and 84 lbft, meaning all that work was for gains of less than 5%.
It's especially curious since adapting two cams to the classic boxer twin where one (and that one not even really an overhead camshaft) previously lived was no simple procedure. The orientation of the Beemer cylinder heads versus the crankshaft, for instance, required BMW to take the very unusual step of designing camshafts actuating one intake and one exhaust valve each. (Traditional design dictates that all the intake cam lobes be on one camshaft and the exhausts on the other.) Further complicating the design is that the four valves in each head are radially disposed, requiring said cam lobes to be conically ground, another not-so-inconsequential complication. And, again, all for five measly ponies.
What I haven't yet mentioned is that this revised engine is a transplant from BMW's limited-production HP2 racer (detuned for the GS's more pedestrian duty to 110 hp from 128), which boasts benefits beyond that relatively modest power gain. Indeed, despite the fact that only the top end has changed, the 2010's engine feels all-new, so different is its personality.
For instance, that five horsepower gain on the specification sheet does not reflect the dramatic difference in the engine's attitude. This new boxer is just so much more eager than the previous version. It responds with more low-rpm alacrity, has wonderful mid-range punch and even eagerly spins to an 8,500-rpm redline. It's like the difference between a middle-aged athlete and a teenager in his athletic prime. Even if they both run a marathon in about the same time, how they go about the whole affair is radically different. Where the fortysomething has to train rigorously, religiously go through his warm-up and swallow Advil and Chondroitin like Pez, the teen is just three deep-knee bends and a hearty double-double latte from being good to go. Where the previous R1200 was a reluctant participant that required preparation before responding to calls for big throttle, the 2010 version is ready to sprint as soon as the starter fires his gun. The new engine really does change the personality of the entire motorcycle.
The rest remains essentially unchanged. That, however, is not a fault. The GS is BMW's biggest seller and the segment's market leader for a reason -- and that reason is its incredible versatility. It is, at once, a backroad bandit, a credible long-distance touring mount and, if one takes it easy and eats one's Wheaties, it can even meander off-road (I say that with just a bit of trepidation as I am about to embark on a week-long off-road tour of Morocco on a bunch of BMWs, including the 1200GS). The handling, for instance, is far more secure than the GS's off-road styling and tall seat height would indicate. Many a sportbike rider has been humiliated in the twisties by a well-ridden R1200GS -- Mom would have said something about judging a book by its cover.
The same can be said about the 1200's touring abilities, which are legend. That odd dirt bike styling does make for a roomy seating position, the long-travel suspension (Telelever in front, Paralever in the rear) makes for a supple ride and the wind protection is adequate if not quite Gold Wing-like. And, of course, the accessories available for the GS -- both from BMW and the aftermarket -- can transform it into a serious world traveller. There are saddlebags, top cases, taller windscreens for more protection, lower seat heights for those shorter of stature and a host of electronic features--from heated handlebar grips to traction control, anti-lock brakes and adjustable suspension -- to render the $17,650 R1200GS the most sophisticated adventure tourer on the planet.
Though the addition of the extra camshaft, even if technically problematic, is hardly revolutionary, the 2010 GS has undergone something of a personality transplant. The R1200GS has not lost its practical attributes -- versatility, comfort and handling -- that make it such a stalwart. But, for 2010, it has learned to dance a lot better.
The sleek 2010 BMW R1200GS is a dependable long-distance touring bike with roomy seating and plenty of space for storage more »

From cars to painkillers, we've conducted numerous product defect investigations. This Bulletin shares with its reader several relevant jump off research sites. We concentrate on the Big Three: cars, kids and OTC` and prescription drugs. For:
Vehicle Recalls and Defect:
1. We suggest a first step: check that your client's car is the vehicle is appears to be. The obvious DMV and owner records aside, a visit to CarFax is a good idea. Bear in mind however that CF is, after all, a private for profit company, not a governmental agency. (Vehicles that have been impounded and resold, for example, may not have the same VIN with which they left the factory. This will not generally show up on a CarFax report.)
2. Next stop: safercar.gov. A section under the National Highway and Traffic Safety Adminsitration (NHTSA) site, safercar yields up-to-date recall and defect investigation data.
3. NTSB. The National Traffic Safety Board is the source for all official aviation, highway, marine and railway accident-related data. It is the agency of jurisdiction for multiple fatality motor vehicle incident investigations.
Children's Clothing, Furniture, Toy and Other Products
1. US Consumer Product Safety Commission. In depth reports, easily viewable online via the CPSC's Reading Room (FOIL compliant.)
2. Food & Drug Administration. For kids products that contain any form of liquid or food (e.g., soap bubbles, shampoo toys, lickable stickers…).
OTC and Rx. Drugs:
1. FDA. The Food and Drug Administration is the government agency that regulates and supervises the safety of foods, tobacco products, dietary supplements, medication drugs, vaccines, biopharmaceutical product, blood transfusion, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices, veterinary products, and cosmetics. The site displays an informative recently updated jump off page, FDA 101: Product Recalls – From First Alert to Effectiveness Checks. The FDA also regulates the marketing of over the counter and prescription drugs.
Of course it makes sense in any investigation, to review prior and active lawsuits involving same or similar product. JDSupra, Lexis, Pacer and FindLaw are superior sources for this information.
BNI Operatives: A step ahead.
As always, stay safe.

Bought a 2003 model 2.0 HDi diesel second hand in 2004 and still running it in 2012. 11,000 miles at purchase is now 113,000. Never broken down, but the following went wrong - 2004 worn seat belt webbing & front suspension ball joint - both repaired under warranty. In 2009 electric window mechanism failed; in 2010 one of the driveshaft joints began to give out - notifying its imminent demise with popping and rattling noises. That's it really. At 80,000 miles in a moment of absent mindedness that comes with middle age - I fuelled it up when it was nearly empty with 45 litres of unleaded. Drove 2 miles to home, car misfiring and making strange noises all the way - before I twigged what I had done. Car was recovered to Citroen dealer. The recovery lorry driver said - "if you had a VW or BMW diesel that would be £5000 to sort it out. But its a Citroen - their diesels are pretty tough". Two days later and £300 poorer it came back and has covered another 30,000 miles. Its dashboard and driver's door now rattle constantly and the seat fabrics are worn and stained from spilt children's food. Its been a mobile skip when we had building work done. Its had 5 litres of emulsion spilled in the boot, the kids have wee'd on the seats and vomited on the carpets. My eldest hates it and is desperate for me to get something new. The problem is what am I going to replace it with?
I Have a 2.0 LITRE HDI SX 2002 It I Gastly And The Plastics Are Terribly Cheap And Nasty But My EX WIFE Bought It And Knowing Her Taste No Wonder She Bought It. If You Want A Nice Car Buy A Mazda 5 2.0 GSI TURBO
Many of the negatives elsewhere are just about right, but there's something lovable about his car.
The seats aren't the best, but less cramped than the Renault Scenic. My wife thinks it's 'very comfortable' - not bad after Jaguars, Audis and Ford Focuses.
The 2.0 HDI takes a while to warm up and the big screen takes some demisting. Also, the chunky front pillars take some getting used to.
A Scenic or S-Max will feel better built inside and out. But few cars match the price - similar age Focuses were £1000-£1500 more expensive. The Picasso is very French with comfort above sportiness, but bowls along nicely.
The 2.0 HDI engine moves along nicely and cruises beautifully in 5th on the motorway, with plenty of overtaking power when needed. Not as good as my fabuolous Jaguar Turbo Diesel, but isn't frustrating either, which speaks volumes. Think of it as a good 'ordinary' diesel (boy racers needn't apply).
The higher seating position is relaxing on long journeys but as expected, wind noise isn't the best.
Where the Picasso wins hands down is on practicality. Hardly any bigger on the road than a Focus it's cavernous. Bigger than a Scenic with more cubby-hole capacity too.
Fuel economy is great on the motorway and good in town. Add low road tax and insurance and it's highly affordable tranport.
Lots of standard equipment in a Desire too.
Small car costs, big car versatility and surprisingly nice to be in. I'm very happy with it.
I have had my Picasso for seven years now and am very pleased with it. It has never let me down, and is a joy to drive. It is very comfortable and easy to drive; economical too. And this summer four not-so-thin adults drove from Essex to The Dordogne, taking nine hours, and the car behaved immaculately. Even fully loaded it still had plenty of pulling power. My only complaint - and one that no-one else seems to suffer from - is that its impossible to put the heating on feet only, as no matter where the knob is set, it belts out heat everywhere. The only way to get your feet warm is to manually close all the other vents. Apart from this I love the car to bits and shall keep it for many years to come.
Order a brochure, find your nearest dealer or book a test drive
After having several larger engined prestige cars I wanted a car that was just that: a car. Not a status symbol, not a racing machine, just a…

Using a Power Chair LiftAn outside power chair lift enables people to carry their power wheelchair fully assembled, while keeping your trunk or rear vehicle space open. There are several types of power chair lifts, most made to fit cars, minivans, one-ton vans, trucks and SUVs. Power chair lifts are generally easy to operate. Most use a key to allow movement of the control lever - which has an up or down button clearly marked. The unit will automatically lift or lower a power chair. Power chairs are held in place with a secure strap system...... |
Power ChairsPower chairs are also known as electric wheelchairs or power wheelchairs.

When I was growing up, church offering envelopes had check-off boxes. One of them was "Daily Bible Reading." My generation was encouraged to do it all: check all the boxes, and score 100 percent for the week. I was normally a 100 percent guy each week. I may have struggled with some of those boxes, but I got the Bible reading done. Though I confess that on some days I was so busy that the best I could do was a hurried glance, a fast read... but better fast than not at all, right?
If I ever found myself foolish enough to think I would stick with a resolution for a year, I would steal my dogs' wisdom.
We have a weimaraner and labrador mixed dog her name is Tilly and a beagle mixed with what we think is a blue healer named Henry. Henry looks very much like Snoopy and makes similar sounds as the Peanuts character with a custom for snorting when you directly ask him questions.
These two beasts are mentally superior and I have a lot to learn from them.
By Candy Clarke
Here we go. Another year is about to begin and it's time to decide if we are going to commit ourselves to a particular course of action or not. Do we really want to be bothered with making New Year's Resolutions yet again? How about the old ones? Could we just recycle them? Or maybe, we could just take one year off without doing any new resolutions.
With another Christmas behind us and a new year fast approaching, I thought I might share my sports wish list for 2013.
1. A Warrior-Wildcat district final. This season it may be more likely than at any time in recent memory. The Warriors are rolling right now, while the Wildcats are struggling, but the young Wildcats will improve as the season goes on and I believe they will be playing their best ball down the stretch when it counts the most.
I have some stories and people that I can't shake.
One story involved a woman, Ms. Anna Marie Davis, who at 103 years old still had a lucid mind and sharp memory. I interviewed her while working as the roving reporter for Landmark Community Newspaper in Bardstown. She turned 103 last year and had a sister who lived to 105.
It's that time of year, again: the time of year when young children begin to gather information and plague everyone with questions. Is there really a Santa Claus? Does Santa really live at North Pole? Is there really a Santa Claus house? These questions and more seem to occupy their little minds from just after Thanksgiving all the way to Christmas morning.
My parents and grandparents ingrained a sense of thankfulness in all of us in my family.
I am past due, since the holidays approach more rapidly every year, on giving my thanks in the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday.
First and foremost, I must thank local historian Hammer Smith for allowing me to divert his attention every few weeks from important research.
Now that the election is over, I feel a void in my life.
The criticism of another's position, the constant heated debate between family members filled with a heavy dose of vituperation has since dwindled into anemic soliloquies where no one listens but the speaker.
Don't worry I 'm not going to rant about my political position nor demand any reader to understand what I think sound public policy should look like.
Like many of the Henry County Middle School students who walked around the edge of the first lagoon at the Waste Water Treatment Plant in New Castle on Halloween, there are a few things I don't think I'll ever forget.
The tomato plants growing up through the rocks that line the lagoon's edge is one indelible image.
The veritable sea of white, green, purple, blue and pink plastic tampon applicators, littered along the rocks is another. In one photograph I took, I counted more than 50. It was a little disturbing and unforgettable.
How do they do it?! These tiny little creatures we call children always manage to steal the show. Holidays are no exception. Two years ago, while visiting my oldest brother and his family in Florida for Thanksgiving; I watched in wonderment as my brother's only grandchild stole the show and everyone's heart.

Nov. 11, another Veterans Day.
Fewer older veterans. More younger vets
"Thank you for your service." Most vets hear that almost every day on television, directed toward someone on camera. Many others hear from someone on first meeting, or from a relative, friend, or even a co-worker.
The word service has many meanings. A lot of vets have manned duty stations during peacetime… quietly doing hum-drum chores, standing guard and going on liberty. (Yes, I was a sailor.)
As election day — Tuesday, Nov. 6 — nears, the voters of Henry County will help decide who will represent them as their state representative in State House District 47 for the next two years. Currently we have a person who has served us as an outstanding legislator since 2003. That person is Rick Rand, someone who has always been there for the citizens of Henry County.
Bullying has come a very, very long way since my middle school days.
At that time, it consisted mainly of prank calls, hallway teasing and on one occasion a particularly clever stunt during PE in which one of the boys in my class put a frog in my pocket without me knowing. The ensuing shriek, I have no doubt, was quality entertainment for him.
The prank calls at home were particularly cruel. The "surprise gifts" in my backpack were quite annoying.
The hallway gossip was brutal. And this was just seventh grade.
The season for moose and caribou hunting in the Interior of Alaska was about to end. On Wednesday night, neither my husband, Frank, nor I had a moose. I suggested we try hunting for caribou Thursday - something we had not yet tried. We secured the necessary permits and loaded our gear. We were all smiles and optimistic about our new venture.
I have recently started on another bit of history in the county that continues to interest me: the Civil War. The farther I look into the history of the county the more intriguing history I find. In last week's edition, I wrote about Capt. I. N. Johnston of Pleasureville. Johnston was one of the officers who was instrumental in carrying out the great escape from Libby Prison. More than 100 people escaped through a tunnel dug in the company of rats that regularly climbed over the freedom seekers as they worked in shifts digging.
Eminence Independent School District recently received an award along with three other school districts for their academic success by the Bluegrass Institute as 'Diamonds in the Rough'. Any school district that is recognized for their work and success given the lack of state and federal funding should be congratulated.
EIS and Henry County both should be commended for what they have done in creating opportunity for the students in the county.
We will remember this trip back to Alaska as the year of the bear. We have seen more bear this time than in all the previous trips combined!
My hat goes off to Joe Yates. He definitely poked a certain constituency in the eye with his letter on July 25 and again last week.
The letters we've received since Yates' initial letter have been, overwhelmingly, in support of Geoff Davis and against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Each letter has had, to some degree, a "fact" that has been resoundingly debunked by the major fact checking services.
Remember Michael as the first grader who stood out from all the others at Campbellsburg Elementary School. I was a nervous, inexperienced new teacher of elementary P.E. and all those little faces just blended in as they gathered expectantly around me for their first day of P. E. Michael stood out. He was taller, he looked you in the eye and talked like a little adult. He seemed very self-assured even then.

Once the home of the "Best Beer in America" in the 1950s-70s, the economy of Brooklyn's brewery town was demolished by the Blackout/riot of 1977. Flagged by Williamsburg on the west, East NY on the right, and Ridgewood on the North, Bushwick is fast becoming a boom-town for yuppies relocating from the South Side. "I'm from Bushwick. You know, where faggoty 3-foot rapper "Bushwick Bill" of the Geto Boys used to live..."

If you guys had half a brain you would know that according to police statistics your girl is twice as likely to get raped in Manhattan. In fact, you are twice as likely to get mugged in the big shiny city as well. Now, the reason why I will not take any of you guys seriously is because I've lived in Bushwick for 3 years. My neighbors are the best - mostly artists, driven out from Williamsburg by these sweet-hearted people you like so much. Beside, if you look closely at statistics you'll see that bushwick is not mostly black but mostly Hispanic and a growing population of Polish and Asian have set up shop here. My conclusion is that you are a bunsh of morons, the same type you will find reading cosmos while sipping on a $4 coffee and yes, the same type of halfwits who have been driving up real estate prices in shiny places to a sad reality. halfwits who have been driving the real estate to its sad reality.

Area in Brooklyn that, according to New York Magazine, has the highest number of registered sex offenders in NYC, the most rape per capita of any neighborhood in NYC, and is high on the list for other violent crime. "Bushwick" stops at Graham Ave. on the East, no matter what your landlord/real estate agent tells you. Bushwick may have a couple of hipsters, but it's still pretty fucking hood.
Why don't those hipsters just shut up about how great they've made the neighborhood? |

An area in Brooklyn, full of Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, and some Blacks.

Bushwick is word thats describes the "hard knock life". Its a struggle and a bitch, but u have to build your own sidewalk so u can get some respect. If not, then you just another piece of gum on the floor. So if you wanna be man, step in our area, and see u be the gum getting stepped on, or the baller who steps on it. Be an ARMY of 1, or step to Bushwick, and make your own.

A ghetto neighborhood in north Brooklyn, and was once considered the worst town in America. Bushwick is known for the Crips, and is dirty, dangerous, dirty, and unpleasant to live in. The neighborhood is also mostly a Black Community, though the western side has a lot of Hispanics and Russians. I was rollin' thorugh Bushwick the other day, and noticed that it's mad hood.

This had to be one of the BEST Hampton Inn's we have ever stayed. This Hampton Inn had very friendly staff, extra clean rooms, the most comfy beds, quiet... so sleep is not interrupted, free breakfast with selections for everyone. We stayed at this particular Hampton Inn because of the Tulip Festival. The location was perfect for the Tulip Festival, close to the Ferry to Victoria and several casinos and nice restaurants. We will stay at this location again in the future. Sett inn af Debbie frá Ocean Springs, MS frá 20.04.2013

International Journal of Impact Engineering
The International Journal of Impact Engineering, established in 1983, has as its objective the publication of original research findings related to the response of structures, bodies and materials from the exposure to impact and blast events. Pertinent areas encompass the following general topics and those associated with them:
- Structural impact and failure
- Energy absorbing systems
- Terminal ballistics
- Dynamic material behaviour and failure
- Stress waves
- Structural crashworthiness
- Blast loading coupled with response of structures
- High-speed mechanical and forming processes
- Hazards assessments, safety and protection involving impact and blast loading
Papers in the International Journal of Impact Engineering should be of interest to aeronautical engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, naval architects, nuclear engineers, ocean engineers, offshore engineers, transportation engineers and workers in other branches of engineering and science who are involved in various aspects of impact and blast loading.
Companion papers:
Authors should aim at submitting manuscripts that can be reviewed on their own, without assuming that preceding or subsequent related manuscripts will be published. Authors of companion papers should inform the Editor the reasons for publishing their work in multiple parts.
Editor-in-Chief: M. Langseth
View full editorial board
At Elsevier, we are committed to supporting authors and reviewers. We have developed several series of freely-available, bite-sized training webcasts containing some useful tips and tricks on a range of valuable topics.

Kopecky Family Band On World Cafe
By editor
Although the six members of the Kopecky Family Band aren't related by blood, they function with a sense of harmony common in family outfits. Formed in 2007, the group released a series of EPs before finally releasing its first full-length album, Kids Raising Kids, in 2012.
The band's eclectic mix of orchestral sounds and soothing melodies earned it the title of "Artist to Watch" by WXPN in December. Taking time out from its current U.S. tour, the Kopecky Family Band recently performed songs from Kids Raising Kids for World Café and talked with host David Dye about finding a distinct sound.

The Shaker's have been known over the past hundred years for their wild and uncanny worship practices as well as with their communitarian belief system and subsequent way of life. Design Build Portland
When these two methodologies where blended together in everyday life, the "Shaker" furniture aesthetic was born.Design Build Portland
Enveloping the quote derived from the 1913 poem Sacred Emily, Gertrude Stein writes "A rose is a rose is a rose.", the same concept is seen in Shaker furniture design dovetailing the two opposing concepts of minimalism with an inherent human impulse for beautification.Design Build Portland
The grassroot simplicity of the Shaker lifestyle infused with their concept of celibate religious functionality, "a chair is a chair is a chair" perhaps unintentionally invokes an honest restrained beauty.Design Build Portland

SOURCE Kidney Care Partners
March "Summit" Aims to Identify Quality Improvement Goals and Develop Recommendations for Medicare's Quality Incentive Program
WASHINGTON, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Kidney Care Partners – the nation's largest kidney care coalition consisting of patient advocates, dialysis professionals, care providers, researchers and manufacturers dedicated to working together to improve quality of care for individuals with end-stage and chronic kidney disease – announced plans to develop a strategic "blueprint" on quality. The blueprint is intended to develop recommendations for Medicare's quality incentive payment system (QIP) while also identifying internal quality improvement drivers and research priorities.
KCP will convene a national "summit" meeting on March 28 to discuss quality issues and develop the community's blueprint. The summit meeting agenda will track closely with the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) National Quality Strategy (NQS) aims for better care, healthy people and communities, and affordable care. The Blueprint, once final, will be made publicly available as a report.
"The kidney community's Quality Blueprint initiative follows KCP's recent Performance Excellence and Accountability in Kidney Care (PEAK) initiative, launched in June 2009, which to date has reduced mortality by more than 12 percent among first-year dialysis patients," remarked Ron Kuerbitz, chairman of Kidney Care Partners. "The PEAK Campaign focused on patient education and key clinical care activities to achieve its goal, including case management, nutrition, anemia management, dialysis adequacy, catheter use, and psychological and social support."
KCP has also been engaged in the development of quality metrics, some of which have been endorsed by the National Quality Forum.
While the March 28th Summit is closed to the public and media, a statement by KCP summarizing progress and next steps from the day-long summit will be released the following day, since the work session ends late on the 28th. The final document is estimated to be completed summer 2013, and will be made public at that time with a release and media availability.

Great size for my 6yo Review by Mellissa
Price Value Quality It's hard to find divided plates that meet my requirements - BPA free, dishwasher and microwave safe. These are a great size and super easy to use. The plate is deep enough for self-feeding, while the handle makes it simple for some assistance. I really hesitated about the price but once I opened the box and used them a few times I was convinced of their durability and value. (Posted on 4/12/12)

Normally, electricity flows throughout the heart in a regular fashion. Any problem along the electrical pathway causes an arrhythmia, or heart rhythm disturbance. By diagnosing the precise cause of an arrhythmia, it is possible to select the best treatment. Treatment may include pacemakers, defibrillators, medications or an ablation (elimination of the abnormal tissue)
Studies, procedures, and treatments dealing with this electrical system are performed in the Electrophysiology (EP) lab. McLaren Bay Region has a state-of-the-heart EP lab, performing a variety of services. We offer diagnostic EP studies, a variety of ablations for atrial or ventricular arrhythmias, including atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation, intracardiac ultrasound, advanced 3-D mapping, and insertion of various devices including pacemakers, defibrillators and Bi-ventricular devices for heart failure.
Rehan Mahmud, M.D., is one of McLaren Bay Region's cardiac Electrophysiologists who perform these services. An Electrophysiologist is a doctor with special expertise in the heart's electrical systems.
EP studies most often are recommended for patients with symptoms indicative of heart rhythm disorders or for people who may be at risk for sudden cardiac death. Although some arrhythmias don't cause any symptoms, others are quite distinct, such as the feeling of your heart "racing". Palpitations, skipped heart beats, lightheadedness, dizziness and fatigue could all be indicative of arrhythmias.
During an EP study, the electrophysiolgist will try to "provoke" arrhythmia events and collect data about the flow of electricity. By doing this, the appropriate treatment can then be recommended.
"Often," says Dr. Mahmud, "we can give the patient and family answers immediately after the EP study." If an ablation is needed, McLaren Bay Region has fully trained staff and up-to-date equipment. "Any time we can isolate and ablate an area causing a disruption of the heart's electrical system," explains Dr. Mahmud, "we have the potential to significantly improve that patient's quality of life."
Sometimes, a device is the appropriate treatment. This can be found during an EP study, or it may be recommended based on the patient's history. The decision on what kind of device is best for a particular patient is based on a variety of factors, including the type of arrhythmia and how strong the heart muscle is.
"A pacemaker," states Dr. Mahmud, "will keep the heart from beating too slowly." Whereas, "a defibrillator can also keep the heart from going too slow, but in addition, it is an effective device to stop fast heart rhythms in the heart."
"Heart failure patients have another issue to deal with," explains Dr. Mahmud, "the inability of the heart to adequately squeeze. This is known as a lack of pumping power.
