Member of the Bug Club.
Came to Brown in 1895, interested in distribution of sewage in Narragansett Bay with special effect on the oyster industry, but quickly added diphtheria studies. His work on sewage was intended to save the failing shellfish industry and the sanitary reforms were able to bring back a dying industry. He performed studies on bacterial variation, with reference to the pseudo‑diphtheria bacillus. Quickly established a course in bacteriology.
Worked for the Health Dept. of the City of Providence, performing the first diphtheria diagnosis and influencing Chapin's vision of Public Health. He also worked on milk examinations, and mosquito eradication. Interestingly, Gorham was a professor of zoology, and worked on phosphorescent bacteria.
At the 1899 meeting of the SAB, Gorham presented a paper on "Some Varieties of Bacillus pyocyaneous Found in the Throat," and another on "Demonstration of Photogenic Bacteria." At the 1900 meeting, he delivered a "Demonstration of Some New Laboratory Devices," including culture tubes with etched surface for writing (discussed by Robin, Hill, Sedgwick, Ward, Abbott and Park), and another "Demonstrations of Pathogenic Bacteria." Gorham also submitted "Some Varieties of B. pyocyaneous Found in the Throat," which was discussed by Welch, Abbott, E. Smith, Ford and Blumer, and presented a demonstration of phosphorescent bacteria. At the 1901 meeting, he discussed "The Morphology of Bacillus diphtheriae," in which he demonstrated that the long granular form could be modified, through a series of sections and platings, into the short, thick, solid‑staining form. He also submitted three short technical papers, read by title: "White Acid and its Use in the Laboratory," "An Electric Water Bath for Gelatin and Agar," and "Photographs Taken by the Light of Photogenic Bacteria."
At the 1902 meeting of the SAB, Gorham described "A Mold Pathogenic to Lobsters" (discussed by Conn). And, at the 1903 meeting, Gorham returned to the "Photogenic Bacteria" (discussed by Sternberg, Conn, Novy and Bergey). He presented a purely technical paper on "A Germ‑Proof Filter," at the 1904 meeting (discussed by Houghton and Rickards).
Gorham submitted a report on "Azolitimin (sp?) as a Substitute for Litmus," to the 1907 SAB, which was read in abstract by the secretary. The interest in non‑traditional media was extended in Gorham and Dolt's report on "A Synthetic Medium as a Substitute for Litmus Lactose Agar in Isolation of the Colon Bacillus from Water Supplies," which was read in abstract by the secretary.
Gorham joined two of his juniors at Brown at the 1908 meeting of the SAB, to discuss synthetic media. His paper was on "A Synthetic Medium as a Substitute for Loeffler's Blood Serum in the Diagnosis of Diphtheria." The actual research was performed by Hadley.
Gorham was a key figure in the laboratory section of the APHA. In his 1911 presidential address before the SAB ("Biochemical Programs in Bacteriology"), Gorham issued a plea for greater use of synthetic media to determine, quantitatively, the physiological aspects of bacterial growth. In addition, the address noted: "Variation, selection, and heredity are factors of evolution in bacteria as elsewhere; they would provide an excellent field for the study of evolution." (Clark 141)
At the 1912 meeting, Gorham supervised the session on "Systematic and Physiologic Bacteriology." At the 1913 meeting of the SAB, Gorham, Hebden and Levine discussed the "Use of Bacterial Cultures in Treating Textile Fibers." Also at the 1913 meeting, Gorham presented the "Report of the Comm. on Methods of Identification of Bacterial Species."
Gorham was included in the 1914 SAB/AAAS joint session on "Lower Organisms in Relation to Man's Welfare," and presented the "Use of Bacteria in the Treatment of Textile Fibers." At the 1915 SAB, Gorham issued the "Rept. of the Comm. on Standard Methods of Bacteriological Analysis of Water," and delivered a paper on "The Collection of Milk Samples for Bacteriological Examination: Presentation of Apparatus."
Gorham was instrumental in the development of the Standard Methods for Water Analysis, and the Standard Methods for Shell Fish Examination.

If you'd like to become an avid saver, and/or if you scored in the lower range on our budget quiz, try this Save-to-Spend plan. While most budgets are designed to control spending, this one is designed to expand your saving.
And strangely—wonderfully—the focus on saving helps you to spend less.
Here's the plan, based on a monthly income of $4,000. You can work from your pre-tax or after-tax income; pre-tax helps you save more. Either way, aim for these percentages:
- Set aside 10 percent per month for retirement. ($4,000 x .10 = $400)
- Save 10 percent for long-term needs, i.e. a new car, a down payment.
- Save 10 percent for short-term and unexpected expenses, i.e. a friend's wedding this spring, replacing a lost cell phone.
- Stash a final 10 percent for fun, frivolous, pleasure.
Total saved: $1,600
If living on the remaining 60 percent (in this case, $2,400) sounds impossible, don't flip out. This is the save to spend plan, remember? You don't really live on beans and 60 percent of your income. You end up spending two of those four savings buckets every month, and the third one as needed.
The beauty of this system is three-fold:
- By creating stashes of cash, you will be able to cover all your expenses—especially the curveballs—and avoid relying on little Ms. MasterCard.
- As you ramp up your savings, you'll pare down your spending … because you'll want to save.
- You never feel like you're on a budget. You feel rich, because you have cash growing in your accounts.
Let us know which spending plans (budgets) you've tried and what seems to work best for you.

SAINT LOUIS (AP) - Three days after winning the World Series, St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is retiring.
The 67-year-old manager announced his retirement at a news conference Monday at Busch Stadium.
The World Series win over Texas was the third of La Russa's 33-year career. The manager guided the Cardinals to the championship despite losing ace starter Adam Wainwright for the season in spring training and despite being 10 1/2 games behind Atlanta on Aug. 25.
La Russa retires third on the all-time wins list, just 35 behind John McGraw. In addition to this season, he won championships in Oakland in 1989 and St. Louis in 2006.

Congratulations, Cain Velasquez, You've Ruined the Heavyweight Division!
(Cain Velasquez may not kick like Anderson Silva, but his dominance over heavyweight will parallel Silva's period of dominance over middleweight. / Photo via Getty)
By Matt Saccaro
After the events of UFC 166, the heavyweight division is now the UFC's least thrilling.
Heavyweight is the new middleweight. That is to say that the heavyweight division under Cain Velasquez's brutal, face-rearranging reign will resemble the middleweight division under Anderson Silva during his peak — a boring division where no fighter is a threat to the champ. A division where everybody says, "Meh, who cares about who's challenging for the heavyweight title? Cain is going to destroy him anyway."
The only fighter to ever humble Cain Velasquez was Junior Dos Santos. But Dos Santos couldn't repeat his success. Velasquez wrought terrible vengeance on the Brazilian in the rematch at UFC 155, and then again in the rubber match at UFC 166.
Earlier this year, I predicted that the UFC heavyweight division would become stagnant and dull:
Both men are insanely talented. But that's the problem — they're both so talented that the rest of the fighters in the division aren't a match for them. The only challenge to Velasquez is Dos Santos. The only challenge to Dos Santos is Velasquez.
I was right and wrong.Read More DIGG THIS

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — The Middlebury College women's soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to 13 games on Saturday, but settled for a 1-1 tie at Wesleyan (2-6-5, 1-4-4 NESCAC). The Panthers (10-1-3, 8-1-1 NESCAC) are ranked No. 14 in NCAA Division III and had already clinched the top seed for the upcoming NESCAC tournament. They and will host a quarterfinal game this Saturday at a time to be announced.
Middlebury's best chance to score in the first half came with 15:42 left on a penalty kick. But Cardinal keeper Jessica Tollman denied Panther Moria Sloan.
The Cardinals scored less than five minutes later. Sarah Sylla took a hard crossing pass from Hannah Stone and banged it low to the right of Middlebury goalie Elizabeth Foody (six saves) at 10:55.
Middlebury scored less than six minutes into the second half, when Jamie Soroka beat the Cardinal defense and knocked a shot past Tollman off a pass from Hannah Robinson.
Tollman came up big a couple of more times for the Cardinals in the half to keep the score tied. Middlebury had the only two shots in the overtime period, but neither team was able to mount a sustained attack. Middlebury outshot Wesleyan, 13-7 in the contest.

It's been a challenge keeping Jack, my Quaker Parrot,
occupied. He's got a great personality but he's too smart for his own good. Even though I always keep a few toys in his cage, he gets bored easily. I have to stay on top of toy
changes to keep him from squawking to remind me!
Recently, work was getting busier, and I wasn't changing the toys as often as normal. During water and food changes, I noticed Jack was beginning to pick his feathers.
One day, he had a few feathers stuck to his beak and a small bald patch. I knew I'd gone too long without offering him something new. So, I grabbed your catalog – that's
when I noticed the article on toys.
The part about treat toys really hit home. Jack gets bored quickly with regular toys, but if I show him a treat, he perks right up and does anything to get it. I thought, why not get a treat toy to keep him occupied – something that challenges him to get at the treat?
I ordered a bunch of treat toys, and he LOVES them! Talk about motivation – he never seems to get bored
with the Treat Piñata. He spends hours pecking, shredding, and tearing the piñata to get at the treats I put inside. I don't see him feather picking as much anymore either.
Thanks for the great articles and awesome selection of toys!

Villanueva hits clutch 3 as the Pistons beat the Bucks 105-100
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
MILWAUKEE – Charlie Villanueva hit a 3-pointer with 9.7 seconds left and Rodney Stuckey sealed the win with two free throws as the Detroit Pistons beat the Milwaukee Bucks 105-100 on Saturday night.
Brandon Jennings, who scored 26 points, took an inbounds pass from Monta Ellis and made a tough fadeaway shot with 47.8 seconds left, but Jose Calderon, who tied his season high with 23 points, came back with a running layup for Detroit that tied it at 100.
After a timeout, the Pistons worked the ball to Villanueva, who got it at the top of the key and swished a 3 with 9.7 seconds left. On the Bucks' next possession, Jennings fired up a 31-foot 3-point attempt with 3.2 seconds left. Stuckey's two free throws with 1.6 seconds remaining were the final margin.
Stuckey finished with 19 points, Villanueva 18 and Greg Monroe 14 to lead the Pistons to their third win in four meetings against the Bucks this season. Villanueva also had a season-high 13 rebounds.
Ersan Ilyasova scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Samuel Dalembert had 14 points and 12 rebounds for Milwaukee.
It was the second game Detroit was without rookie big man Andre Drummond, who is expected to miss four to six weeks because of a stress fracture in his back suffered in Sunday's loss to Los Angeles.
Monroe, starting for Drummond, was not as dominating as he was in Detroit's 119-109 victory over the short-handed San Antonio Spurs on Friday night when he had 26 points and 16 rebounds.
The Bucks were without Larry Sanders, the NBA leader in blocks.
Neither team got more than a three-point lead in the fourth.
Jennings' two free throws put the Bucks up 98-96 with 1:45 left, but Villanueva answered with a short hook to tie the score. Dunleavy missed on a runner in the lane on the Bucks' next possession. The Pistons immediately called timeout with 1:02 to go, but Villanueva threw the ball away looking to pass.
Jennings then made his big shot with 47.8 seconds left, but Calderon tied it and set the stage for his clutch basket.
The Bucks opened the third with a 16-5 run capped by Jennings' steal and layup that gave the Bucks their biggest lead 72-62 at 6:13. Detroit fought right back a 19-10 run keyed by Stuckey's eight points. His two free throws pulled Detroit to 82-81 heading into the fourth.
Milwaukee made it a close game in the second quarter, but couldn't pull away as the Pistons dominated the paint with 34 points to 18 for the Bucks. Detroit also ran off 16 fastbreak points to five for Milwaukee.
The Bucks erased the Pistons' 33-22 first-quarter lead and went ahead 56-55 on Ilyasova's 3-pointer with under a minute to play in the half. Kyle Singler answered for Detroit with a jumper from in close that gave the Pistons a 57-56 lead after two quarters.
Calderon and Monroe had 21 points combined in the Pistons' 33-22 first quarter.
Calderon scored 11 points and had four assists, three rebounds and two steals. Monroe added 10 points, grabbed five rebounds and made three steals. Detroit's defense hounded the Bucks, forcing eight turnovers and converting them into 14 points. Their offense ran off 16 fastbreak points to none for Milwaukee.
NOTES: Detroit shot 60 percent in the first quarter, making 15 of 25 shots. Milwaukee made eight of 23 attempts for 34.8 percent. ... Sanders missed his second consecutive game with a lower back contusion. He landed on his tailbone late in the game with the Denver Nuggets. He is day-to-day. ... Bucks G/F Marquis Daniels missed the game due to a family matter. .... Bucks F Luc Mbah a Moute returned after missing one game with a sore right knee.

Zags and Dons duke it out in WCC action
San Francisco, CA – The fifth-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs continue their quest for yet another West Coast Conference regular-season title, as they head out on the road to challenge the San Francisco Dons at War Memorial Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon.
Gonzaga is enjoying its highest national ranking ever, and it is certainly well-deserved as the team is 24-2 overall and a perfect 11-0 in conference. The Bulldogs were recently in action against rival Saint Mary's on Thursday, and it was actually no contest as the Zags rolled the Gaels in a 77-60 final in Moraga, California. The win improved GU to 8-1 in true road games this season.
San Francisco comes into this fray three games under .500 at 11-14, and it has lost twice as many conference games as it has won (4-8). The Dons are fresh off a 78-76 loss to visiting Portland on Thursday, dropping their home record to an even 6-6, and they have now lost three of their last five.
Gonzaga routed San Francisco in the first meeting between these two in Spokane on Jan. 26, 66-52, to raise its lead in the all-time series to 45-22. The Dons have been competitive of late however, as the teams have split each of the last three season series.
With three double-digit scorers in the fold, Gonzaga has had little difficulty putting points on the scoreboard this season, netting a WCC-best 78.6 ppg behind typical shooting efforts of .507 overall, .390 from 3-point range, and .710 from the foul line. At the defensive end, the Bulldogs yield a league-low 61.2 ppg by holding foes to .394 field goal efficiency. Kelly Olynyk (17.7 ppg, 6.8 rpg), Elias Harris (14.4 ppg, 7.2 rpg) and Kevin Pangos (12.1 ppg, 3.5 apg) lead the Zags on most nights, but it was Gary Bell, Jr. who paced the club in the big win over Saint Mary's, as he hit four treys on his way to 20 points. Pangos added 18 and Olynyk finished with 17 points and seven rebounds. The Zags shot an even 50 percent from the floor, making good on 9-of-17 3- point attempts, while the Gaels were held to 39.7 percent field goal efficiency while being outrebounded, 37-25. A 20-2 edge in points from the foul line also played an integral role in the win for Gonzaga.
San Francisco averages a healthy 70.4 ppg, doing so behind a stellar 40.7 percent effort from 3-point range. Unfortunately, the team allows 70.2 ppg and owns negative differentials in both rebounding (-2.1) and turnovers (-0.6). Cole Dickerson (14.6 ppg, 9.8 rpg) is one of the top two-way performers in the conference, and he is joined in the double-digit scorers club by De'End Parker (12.4 ppg) and Cody Doolin (12.3 ppg, 5.8 apg). Dickerson and Chris Adams both had productive outings in the recent loss to Portland, netting 17 points apiece, while Parker hit for 14, Avry Holmes had 12 and Doolin chipped in with 11 points while dishing out six assists. USF drained 9-of-22 3-point tries in the contest, but the Pilots shot 50 percent from the field and claimed a 40-33 edge on the glass.

The Family History Society of Eastern North Carolina recently celebrated its third anniversary, following up Saturday with a �Plants in the Park� fundraiser and awareness event for its planned Heritage Park beside New Bern City Hall.
The Family History Society of Eastern North Carolina recently celebrated its third anniversary, following up Saturday with a �Plants in the Park� fundraiser and awareness event for its planned Heritage Park beside New Bern City Hall.
With the help of the Craven County Extension Master Gardeners and local gardening vendors, the public had its first chance to see the 39-by-90-foot plot where the history group hopes to establish a place of recognition for many groups, ranging from Native Americans and early settlers to German Palatines, Swiss, African Americans and more recent settlers such as Bosnians and Burmese.
History Society head David French said the Saturday sale was the first of what his group hopes will be many events at the site. The group, which will rely on private donations, doesn�t plan to begin construction on the park until it has raised its goal of $70,000.
�We have raised about 25 percent of that,� French said. �We would like to have a dedication in the spring of next year.�
French said the partnership with the gardeners and local businesses Saturday was a sign of community support. He said dedicated donations from groups and businesses such as Leadership Craven, Chesnutt, Clemmons & Peacock law firm, Historic Dryborough and the local genealogical society also pointed that the project was headed in the right direction.
Local experts, growers and Master Gardeners brought about 75 plant and tree varieties to the park Saturday and visitors were able to order plants that will be delivered in April.
French said plants will have a great influence on the look of the park, which is on city-owned property. Along with greenery such as American Holly trees already on site, the plans call for the addition of Rose Creek Abelia, Japanese Maple, Bordeaux Dwarf Yaupon Holly, Needlepoint Holly, Chindo Viburnum and Encore Azelea.
The park was designed by Jennifer E. Knight, Craven County Master Gardener, with assistance from a heritage park group. Artist Jennifer Ipock Nance has contributed the artwork laying out the overall and specific details.
The park will have a reflecting pool, with a sculpture by Pittsboro artist Gretchen Lothrop.
The pool will be encased in granite panel with inscriptions for families and individuals.
There will be walkway bricks with inscriptions available for groups and businesses. The money from the inscriptions is part of the fundraising. There are other donation support opportunities such as benches.

CUMMING, Iowa – U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin said Saturday he will not seek a sixth term in 2014, a decision that eases some of the burden the national Republican Party faces in retaking the Senate.
Harkin, chairman of an influential Senate committee, announced his decision during an interview with The Associated Press.
The 73-year-old cited his age — he would be 81 at the end of a sixth term — as a factor in the decision, saying it was time to pass the torch he has held for nearly 30 years, freeing a new generation of Iowa Democrats to seek higher office.
Harkin, first elected in 1984, ranks seventh in seniority and fourth among majority Democrats. He is chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, and chairman of the largest appropriations subcommittee.
Harkin has long aligned with the Senate's more liberal members, and his signature legislative accomplishment is the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. He also served as a key salesman of President Obama's health care overhaul to the wary left.
"I'm not saying that giving this up and walking away is easy. It's very tough," Harkin said at his rural Iowa home south of Des Moines. "But I'm not quitting today. I'm not passing the torch sitting down."

Gallant effort vaults Grove City past Geneva, 13-7
GROVE CITY, Pa. -- The Grove City College football team pulled out a 13-7 victory over visiting Geneva Saturday night at Robert E. Thorn Field. The Wolverines limited Geneva to just 60 net rushing yards overall and only 42 yards of total offense in the second half.
Junior nose tackle Jarred Frawley (Franklin, Pa./Franklin) led the Wolverine defense with 12 total stops, including 5.5 for loss and 1.5 quarterback sacks. Grove City held Geneva scoreless on its final nine possessions of the night. Four of those drives netted negative yardage.
Geneva did take a 7-0 lead with 1:58 left in the first quarter on Gerard Muschette's one-yard touchdown run.
Grove City quickly countered however as junior tailback Blaine Miller (Mount Joy, Pa./Donegal) caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Brian Pell (Streamwood, Ill./Wheaton Academy). The pass capped an 8-play, 74-yard drive. Earlier in the drive, Pell threw a 24-yard pass to freshman wide receiver Anthony Ritchie (Big Rock, Ill./Wheaton Academy) on a third-and-8 play.
The Wolverines then surged ahead with 14:14 left in the game when Miller ran into the end zone on fourth-and-goal at the Geneva 1. The conversion failed.
Junior Ed Reith (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Hills) gave Grove City a goal-to-go situation five plays earlier with a 23-yard run. The touchdown closed a 12-play, 87-yard drive that consumed 7 minutes, 19 seconds.
Reith led Grove City with 57 rushing yards on six attempts. Miller added 36 yards on 16 carries. Pell completed 15 of 25 passes for 218 yards in his first collegiate start.
Senior wide receiver Zach Summy (Manheim, Pa./Manheim Central) caught a season-high five passes for 69 yards. Miller had four catches for 61 yards and senior Luke O'Hara (New Castle, Pa./Shenango) pulled in four passes for 44 yards.
Sophomore safety Shawn Mercer (East Liverpool, Ohio/Beaver Local) recorded a career-high nine tackles in his first start. Junior linebacker Marc Shamley (Orlando, Fla./Pine Castle Christian) had six stops and a half sack. Junior defensive tackle Marcus Chakot (Indiana, Pa./Indiana) made six tackles and recovered a fumble.
Grove City outgained Geneva 331-216.
Muschette ran for 75 yards on 30 carries. He came into the game averaging 146 yards per game. Quarterback David Girardi completed 13 of 24 passes for 156 yards. Geneva entered the game averaging 31 points and 427 yards of offense per game.
Geneva owned a 31:54-28:06 edge in time of possession. Grove City went 1 for 10 on third downs while Geneva converted 7 of 13. Girardi did "quick kick" twice on third down in the game.
The Wolverines are now 2-2 all-time in night games at Thorn Field. Saturday night's game does not count in the conference standings due to Geneva's provisional status in NCAA Division III.
Grove City will visit Saint Vincent next Saturday at 1 p.m. in conference action.

I would highly recommend reading Mothering Your Nursing Toddler by Norma J. Bumgarnerg when your baby gets a bit older. What you think at 5 months of nursing can completely change by 1 year, 18 months and on into toddlerhood. Many Mothers who think they will not be nursing when their child is 3 or 4 are pleasantly surprsied that they are when the time come. The book gives many differing opinions and is an easy read.
Happy nursing. Enjoy!!

New Car Review
2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport: New Car Review
Pros: Tidy dimensions; adult-friendly backseat; agreeable ride quality; affordable price; lots of standard equipment
Cons: Noisy and underpowered engine; unpleasant continuously variable automatic (CVT); smallish cargo capacity
What's New: The 2013 Outlander Sport gets mildly refreshed styling inside and out, including standard 18-inch alloy wheels, revised bumpers and new interior fabrics. Also, the ES is now available with all-wheel drive and Mitsubishi says that the suspension and steering have been tweaked for better performance.
The 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport reminds us of an old maxim that appears in numerous traditions: Judge me by my fruits, not by my roots. In the past, we've been guilty of judging the Outlander Sport by its roots. When Mitsubishi's smallest crossover debuted a few years ago, we focused on its lowly Dodge Caliber-derived platform and we wondered how anything based on that underachieving hatchback could amount to much.
Shows what we know, because the Outlander Sport quickly became Mitsubishi's best-selling vehicle.
The more time we spend with the Outlander Sport, the more we appreciate what it brings to the table. It perches the driver up high, providing the expansive visibility that crossover fans love. It's a legitimately compact vehicle that makes quick work of congested parking lots. It has a surprisingly roomy, adult-friendly backseat. And Mitsubishi's FUSE voice command system comes standard, giving you hands-free control of phones and portable music devices.
As ever, the Outlander Sport's main weakness is in the engine room, where the mandatory 2.0-liter inline-4 labors to get this Mitsu moving. While the standard 5-speed manual transmission makes the best of it, most Outlander Sports have a continuously variable automatic (CVT) that seems to generate more noise than forward progress.
But if you're satisfied with what's under the hood, the Outlander Sport is a pretty compelling crossover. Kudos to Mitsubishi for turning those questionable roots into some surprisingly tasty fruit.
Comfort & Utility
The 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is offered in ES and SE trim levels.
The ES starts with 18-in alloy wheels, heated outside mirrors, power accessories, cruise control, a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, the FUSE voice command system for phones and music devices and a 4-speaker audio system with USB connectivity.
The SE adds xenon headlamps, foglights, keyless entry with push-button ignition, heated front seats, a sliding center armrest, automatic climate control and a 6-speaker audio system with Satellite radio.
Notable options include an iPod adapter, a hard-drive-based navigation system and a Premium package for SE models that adds a rearview camera, a panoramic sunroof and a 9-speaker 710-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system with a subwoofer, a 6-CD changer and Satellite radio.
In our interior evaluation, we deemed the Outlander Sport's interior surprisingly nice, from its dark, sleek look to the soft-touch material on the dashboard. The front seats aren't memorably supportive, but the height-adjustable driver's seat does elevate the driving position to an agreeable midpoint between hatchbacks and SUVs.
The tilt-telescoping steering wheel is a welcome addition for taller pilots; many Mitsubishi wheels lack a telescoping function. The deeply hooded tachometer and speedometer feature crisp white backlighting and numerals that are easily read at a glance.
Ergonomics are generally good, including both the manual and automatic climate controls. However, the optional navigation system's touchscreen is surrounded by numerous small buttons that aren't especially driver-friendly.
Another pleasant surprise is the Outlander Sport's accommodating backseat. Despite this crossover's compact dimensions, adults should have no problem getting comfortable in the second row. Cargo space is not a high point, however, measuring 21.7 cu ft behind the backseat and topping out at 49.5 cu ft with the rear seat backs folded down.
Considering its low price, the Outlander Sport is a treasure trove of technology. Most notably, the standard FUSE hands-free system with USB connectivity is a capable knockoff of Ford's SYNC, which allows you to control your Bluetooth-compatible phone as well as your portable music device via voice commands.
If you want high-tech sound, there's that thumping Rockford Fosgate system -- and if you want high-tech navigation, the Outlander Sport comes through with an optional hard-drive-based touchscreen system that boasts music storage on its own 40-gigabyte hard drive.
Not many affordable compact crossovers can match the Outlander Sport's technology spread.
Performance & Fuel Economy
All Outlander Sports are powered by a 2.0-liter inline-4 that makes 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on the front-wheel-drive ES, but the SE comes only with a continuously variable automatic (CVT) that's optional on ES. The inline-4 is noisy and slow compared to others in this class, while the CVT is less responsive than we'd like. Moreover, CVT-equipped Outlander Sports feel slower than the manual transmission ES.
Note that front-wheel drive is standard, but both ES and SE are eligible for the AWC all-wheel-drive system, which has a new center console selector button for 2013. Models with AWC are only sold with the CVT.
Fuel economy is 24 miles per gallon city/30 mpg highway with the manual transmission, 24 mpg city/31 mpg highway with the CVT and front-wheel drive and 24 mpg city/29 mpg highway with all-wheel drive.
The Outlander Sport comes with standard stability control, anti-lock brakes and seven airbags (front, front side, driver knee, full-length side curtain).
In government crash tests, the Outlander Sport received four stars out of five across the board. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the Outlander Sport its highest rating of Good in every crash test category.
Driving Impressions
Although the Outlander Sport's aggressive face evokes the high-performance Lancer Evolution sedan, don't be fooled. This is a softly sprung crossover designed for urban duty and that's as it should be. The available all-wheel-drive system is a nice feature for snowy climes, but it doesn't transform the Outlander Sport into an off-road vehicle by any means. Happily, the Sport is an agreeable companion on the pavement, riding smoothly and fairly quietly for a bargain-priced SUV. We just wish the engine were a little more capable and refined.
Other Cars to Consider
Kia Soul: More of a tall wagon than a crossover, the Soul brings funky style and a healthy technology roster of its own -- and it's cheap, too.
Hyundai Tucson: The Tucson is similarly compact, but it offers a larger 2.4-liter engine that provides better acceleration.
Mazda CX-5: The CX-5 is a bit more expensive, but with its excellent road matters and nice cabin, it's a strong rival to high-end versions of the Outlander Sport.
AutoTrader Recommends
Considering the standard kit Mitsubishi includes with every Outlander Sport, we'd be tempted to stick with the manual transmission ES. It's nicely equipped for around $20,000. Once you get into the mid-$20,000s, there are many other appealing options.

Classic Handcrafted Treehouses
The warm weather is (finally) here to stay - to help celebrate outdoor spaces, I wanted to give a nod to the place where our love for outdoor living originated — the treehouse!
For me, the most inspiring treehouses are those of timeless composition and handcrafted character. Having three very hands-on brothers, I've collaborated on more than a few forts and treehouses in my day. Besides the simple achievement of having my own little space high above the world where nobody else was allowed, the process of constructing the little fantasy huts was always the most exciting to me. Naturally, my favorite part was adorning these spaces with whatever materials I could get my hands on, much like Kid Baltimore's Joyce Hesselberth and her husband did for their kids with the adorable little red house they constructed out of repurposed materials and other unique finds (check out the patinated baby head mold that sits atop the grounding post!).
Whether building a space for your kids or creating a little escape for yourself, like Peter Bahouth's Treehouse for Grownups, I love seeing people embracing their inner child and welcoming the outdoors - a great mindset to be in as we enter into the summer months, if you ask me!

As promised, here are some photos I took in Arizona while hiking up a mountain in the desert. Where I live in South Carolina, everything is emerald green. And plants grow like in the jungle. The desert was a stark contrast, and cactus are really cool, even more so when they're blooming. I don't know if I could live somewhere as sparse and dry, but it certainly was an amazing space to visit. Plus, my shutter finger was very happy. See?
So tell me: what type of landscape do you prefer: lush green or stark simplicity? Dramatic mountains or wide flat horizons?

Memory use myths
Customization software is not resource intensive
Sunday, June 5, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: OS Customization
I'm not sure where the myth began. But somewhere down the line, a false belief has turned into pseudo-fact amongst some people that customization software uses a lot of memory. That's never been the case. Not even in the beginning.
At the dawn of Windows customization, software had to run on Windows 95 which only had 128K (that's kilobytes) of GDI resources. Customization software ate up a lot of those GDI resources since they were reserved for the user interface. But even in 1995, 16K of memory was trivial. It's just that early versions of Windows were so limited in their GDI resources that it was a problem.
But Windows 2000 and Windows XP have never had any such problem. And yet, we still see some uninformed, but vocal, user claim that <Program X> is "bloated" and uses a "ton" of memory. Those people come in two forms: The guy who really has no idea what he's talking about and the guy who thinks 10 megabytes of memory is a "ton" of memory.
The former guy is annoying because he matches his ignorance with his prolific posting. The latter guy makes you wonder if their source of income is mom's allowance or something. I can buy a 256 meg stick of memory for my PC for around $20.
So let's get this out of the way: Desktop customization programs do NOT use much memory.
Here's WindowBlinds wbload.exe process use:
That's 576K.
Here's DesktopX:
That's only a couple megabytes of memory and it's running a useful object in this instance.
I could go on through a variety of programs both made by Stardock and made by third parties. None of them are "memory hogs". You can certainly load up enough stuff with something like DesktopX to make it use a ton of memory. Graphics, animation, etc. has to be stored somewhere. But that's not the desktop customization's fault any more than it's Photoshop's fault if the user loaded a gigabyte sized image.
So next time someone tries to claim that some desktop customization program is "bloated" or something, point them here.

Soups and Salads
The Hanover Street Chophouse
Here's an easier chili recipe, courtesy of the Hanover Street Chophouse.
Sear off pork shoulder in canola oil, rendering pork fat and browning meat. Remove meat and sweat out peppers and onion in remaining fat. Reserve.
Over medium heat, cook out ground beef slowly to cook through. Pour out fat ONLY if looking for healthiest outcome. This is a leaner meat and does not have an excess of fat.
Combine (except beans) all in heavy bottomed sauce or stock pot. Bring to a simmer slowly while stirring often to prevent crusting on bottom. Simmer partially covered for 1-2 hours till pork shoulder is tender and JUST starting to fall apart.
Add reserved washed beans and simmer for 5-10 minutes more.
Serve immediately with garnish as desired. We like cilantro, sharp Vermont cheddar, pico di gallo and fresh fried tortilla crumbles.
If time permits, we like to chill and age the chili in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours; we believe it makes a more educated and developed chili flavor. Enjoy!

Come Party With Me: Book Party - Invites
Come Party With Me: Book Party - Invites
In honor of this month being Summer Reading month here on YumSugar, I'm planning a book party! Planning an event with your favorite book as the theme, allows you to get super creative. My party is based around the classic Jane Austen novel, Pride & Prejudice. However, take the basic ideas and suit them to your favorite book - a meeting with friends that follows Oprah's book club, a child's birthday party based around the Madeline books, or even a Harry Potter party to discuss the final book in the series.
A party that promotes reading is good for the soul and the mind, so let's get started by making the invitation! To see how I made the aged Pride & Prejudice invite,
To make an invitation similar to the one shown here, you will need:
- computer and printer
- old time image
- ribbon
- cold coffee
- a large sheet pan (or container of some sort)
- cream cardstock
To assemble:
- Start by dragging the image into a new Word document. Add the text and information of the party next to the image. Enclose with a border that matches your picture. Use a font that matches your book. For the Pride & Prejudice theme, I used Snell Roundhand Black size 12 to write
Miss PartySugar invites you to join her for a discussion of Jane Austen's classic love story, Pride & Prejudice
Saturday August 18th
5:00 pm
Afternoon Cravings
Please bring a copy of the book & rsvp to PartySugar 415.555.5555
- Print out a test copy of the invite and check for spelling and grammatical errors. Once satisfied with the invite, print out on the cream cardstock.
- Pour the cold coffee into a baking pan and submerge the cardstock in the coffee. Leave for at least 30 minutes or longer. For a darker aged color, let it soak overnight.
- Remove the invite from the coffee and set aside to dry in the sun near an open window.
- Once the invitation has completely dried, carefully tear off the sides shaping it down to size.
- Roll up into a scroll and tie with a pretty ribbon. Hand deliver to guests, place in mailboxes, or mail in small boxes.
What book would you base your book party on?? Tell me below!

Mariners acquire P Harang from Rockies
Seattle, WA – The Seattle Mariners have acquired pitcher Aaron Harang from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for minor-league pitcher Steven Hensley.
Harang spent spring training with the Los Angeles Dodgers before being traded to the Rockies for catcher Ramon Hernandez on April 6.
The veteran right-hander hasn't appeared in a game this season, but went 10-10 with a career-low 3.61 earned run average in 31 starts with the Dodgers in 2012.
Over 12 seasons with Oakland, Cincinnati, San Diego and the Dodgers, Harang has compiled a 105-104 record with a 4.19 ERA in 299 games (293 starts).
To make room for Harang on the roster, Seattle designated right-hander Kameron Loe for assignment.

Epson X-Desk Interactive Tabletop
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: PC / Laptop, Wireless / WiFi
Of course the Microsoft Surface is a gimme, but the X-Desk may be some competition. It is 52-inches, as opposed to MS's 30-inch surface, and also reacts to multi-touch input and zoom. Interact with maps and images and play media files. It can also be used with PMPs and cell phones via Bluetooth. The X-Desk, which was developed by Impressx and Engage and runs with Epson 3 LCD projectors, will cost you $20,000, about the same as the Surface.

Difference between revisions of "Narragansett"
Revision as of 17:26, 30 November 2012
Narragansett is in South County, Rhode Island. It includes the beach villages of Galilee, Scarborough, Point Judith, and Bonnet Shores. Families and students enjoy Narragansett especially in the summer because beaches are so close! After spending all day in the sun, there are many restaurants to sit down, relax, have some drinks, and eat some good food while hearing the ocean waves hit the shore.
Narragansett history in a nutshell - the bay and town took the name of the Indian nation that lived in Rhode Island, the name means "people of a small, narrow place." Point Judith and Galilee were inhabited primarily by farmers and people in the fishing industry. Today Narragansett is home to shops, beaches, restaurants and marinas. The town is scarcely 20 miles long and less than 2 miles wide.
Weather is definitely a big attraction of Narragansett. Visitors never get bored with what the climate has to offer. The conditions here are truly diverse the whole year long. Since Rhode Island is part of New England we truly experience all four seasons. The beauty and warmth of spring followed by the scorching heat of summer, the cool temperatures and scenic colors of autumn, as well as the frosty snow storms of winter. Narragansett gets it all.
Get in
By plane
By car
I-95 to Exit 92 in Connecticut. At the light, make a right onto RT 2. You will be on RT 2 for 1.5 miles when you will see a sign for 78 west on the right. Take 78 west for approx. 4 miles. Look for signs for US RT 1 north, make left at intersection. You will be on Rt 1 for 20 miles, make right off Narragansett exit. Follow signs to RT 108.
I-95 to Exit 9 in RI. Exit in left lane off highway onto RT 4. Follow RT 4 to RT 1 South for 8 miles to the Narragansett exit. Turn left at light and go under overpass. At this rotary bear left and follow signs for Narragansett.
By train
By boat
Coming in at Point Judith in Galilee is the only main way to enter into Narragansett. One will enter by Great Island and will be able to continue down until Wakefield, RI.
Boating access
Get around
The easiest way to access the charm of Narragansett is by foot or bike. To get the complete seasonal experience that Narragansett has to offer, you are invited to explore the picturesque beauty by walking along our wonderful beaches, or riding along our scenic waterfront roads. To help get around one might consider renting a moped/scooter or car to be able to get around from the Narragansett Pier area to Scarborough and Point Judith. You are also very welcome to visit our interesting historic sites. Whether you prefer historic lighthouses, beautiful marinas, or our striking works of art, the choice is up to you. If staying for a long visit in Narragansett, you may want to consider a beach pass for access to alternate parking because the beautiful beaches attract many people which leaves parking hard to find and expensive. Having a beach pass would guarantee parking in reserved parking lots.

Expert Senior Advisors
Expert Senior Advisors (see expertsenioradvisors.com - site under construction but you can at least get the flavor) is an educational, product and service site to help seniors preserve their assets so they will have something to leave their loved ones when they pass on. Seniors are the #1 fastest growing age group to file bankruptcy for the main reason that they can not pay for their Long Term Care without spending down everything they own. This leaves the surviving spouse with nothing and thus they go broke. Our services will enable Seniors to keep their hard earned dollars by having benefits that every American is entitled to pay up to 100% of these costs. We will also provide educational webinars, durable medical products (many covered under Medicare at little or no cost), Skill Nursing Facility Directories, and much more to assist seniors with their later in life planning.
Our Target Market is Senior Adults and their Children who are looking for assistance with paying for the costs of Long Term Care, Pre-Planning for this care, protection of their assets, assistance with facility locations and reviews, durable medical equipment and much more.
We are looking for a "professional" yet "personal" logo design which will match the color scheme on our website (expertsenioradvisors.com). We are looking for creativity from the designers. The design must be with the letters ESA along with Expert Senior Advisors spelled out on the logo. We are not just looking for a font but a design within a font.

First-Day Impressions From Freshman Lawmakers
WASHINGTON—A new crop of U.S. lawmakers was sworn in on Thursday, amid handshakes and optimism that past experiences as business owners, farmers and physicians would help the new Congress be more productive than the last.
Some 82 new House lawmakers were among those being sworn in. The Senate welcomed 13 new members, plus one who took office in recent days. Here's what some of them said about joining Congress at the moment when the fiscal cliff negotiations and this week's tax vote showed the difficulty lawmakers face in tackling the nation's biggest problems.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R., Okla.)
"You have to balance the budget – I'm sorry," said Mr. Mullin, a construction-company owner and rancher. Mr. Mullin said he had been negotiating business deals since he was 20 years old, potentially good preparation to navigate the partisan divide of Congress in recent years.

It has been 33 years since I took my first spring drive through California's San Joaquin Valley. It remains a challenge to focus on the road surrounded by an agricultural Mecca found nowhere else in the world.
This year's spring sojourn was made earlier this month in a long one-day photo-gathering road trip from Fresno to Corcoran to the San Joaquin Delta west of Lodi and back to Fresno via Highway 99 and Interstate 5.
It was another mesmerizing voyage.
Although it was blustery cold, the San Joaquin Valley air was crisp and clear. Fields of mostly wheat, alfalfa and winter forages were carpets of glistening green.
Orchards and vineyards were awash in new, fresh growth. Signs of continual renewal were everywhere. New vineyards and orchards are still being planted despite ominous irrigation water forecasts and more regulations than any industry should bear. Older orchards top-worked and whitewashed were ready for a new beginning.
The landscape is never the same. Three decades ago in April, thousands of acres were furrowed out, awaiting cotton planters. Few fields were bare awaiting planters in April 2008. Permanent crops, alfalfa and one of the state's biggest irrigated winter wheat crops made the 2008 spring drive much greener than three decades ago. Dark earth fields were few and far between.
I am no expert, but my prediction is that there is a huge almond harvest in the making. No doubt it is another billion-pounder. Trees seem to be sagging from the weight of the crop much earlier this season. The bloom this year started off a slow, but the weather cleared and a long cool spell seemed to extend the bloom far longer than I can recall from past years. Almond trees were blinding white at bloom time this year.
Driving down I-5, honeybees splattered on the pickup windshield like rocks from 18-wheelers. It would take a one-pound coffee can lid to cover some of the individual bee carnage because the pollinators were so engorged before their demise, another Cline sign of a huge almond crop.
On one stretch of I-5 the smell of citrus blooms filled the pickup. On another stretch the Harris Ranch feed yard filled the cab with an entirely different odor. Forage choppers in another area spawned that fresh cut forage smell.
California's massive water projects snake along the West Side of the Valley, a constant reminder for us in agriculture that it is the water than makes the Central Valley an agricultural showcase. Without water, it is a desert.
Just south of Los Banos two orchards bring that into stark reality. The trees are tall, nice scaffolding and lined up perfectly ... and all dead as a doornail. The small orchards have been abandoned and not irrigated for several years. They looked like tombstones. It's what the Central Valley would look like without the imported water.
I passed several sets of doubles lumbering under loads of lettuce boxes and other produce. They were headed to coolers and eventually to a hungry America. Those trucks would be parked and boxes empty without imported water.
Unfortunately, most of the folks in cars speeding down the interstate are from cities and do not make the connection between those dead orchards and the water flowing down the canals and the greenery of the valley.
However for now, springtime journeys through California's great Central Valley are still invigorating. It only makes me appreciate that much more where I call home and how much harder I want to work to preserve an irreplaceable bounty.

NHL Game Night 2/3: Rangers at Lightning
Think Atlanta is starting to hear footsteps?
Johan Holmqvist stopped 24 of 26 shots faced in the win and has won 8 of his last 9 starts. King Holmer officially en fuego. Dan Boyle and Martin St. Louis each had a pair of assists on the night with the Lightning goals belonging to Paul Ranger, Brad Richards and Vincent Lecavalier (Lecavalier and Richards' goals being of the blistering/unstoppable power play variety). Eric Perrin and Ryan Craig added individual helpers.
The Lightning are cooler than the other side of the pillow in one goal games right now. It took a while for this team to find its confidence, but right now they've got swagger. And, don't look now, but by virtue of Atlanta's 5-2 loss to Philly the Lightning have now moved within six points of the division lead with a game still in hand. Furthermore, the Lightning have now tied the Thrashers with 29 wins and, looking at the schedule, the Lightning get the worst team in the Western Conference Tuesday night (Los Angeles) and the Thrashers get to play the best in the East (Buffalo). This thing could EASILY be down to 4 points with a game in hand if the Lightning stay focused and take care of business against the Kings. If I'm Thrashers GM Don Waddell, I'm having Doctor Feel Good call in a 'scrip for Valium right about now.
This is fun.

Report probes timing of Gunns' insolvency
An explosive report has questioned whether the Tasmanian timber company Gunns traded while insolvent before its collapse last year.
Administrator PPB Advisory was appointed last September when Gunns could not pay its debts.
It has now released a report to creditors saying the company may have had problems six months before the collapse, but further investigation is needed.
PPB reports that it has found three instances where funds from plantation growers or other companies may have been used to keep Gunns running.
It emphasises the conclusions are from preliminary investigations which have been limited by time and the amount of information in Gunns' books.
It says further investigation is needed to conclude whether they constitute a breach of directors' duties.
Former directors are being contacted for a response.
Total debts are tallied at more than $3 billion, not including money owed to plantation growers.
The debt includes about $445 million owed to the banks, $190 million owed to other secured creditors and $10 million in employee entitlements.
The administrators say it is unlikely unsecured creditors, including logging companies and contractors, will get any of the nearly $2.4 billion they are owed.
Banks are also unlikely to see all of the money owed to them by the failed company.
Creditors to meet
PPB recommends that Gunns' creditors vote to liquidate the company, a move which will cost about $2 million in fees.
The creditors are due to meet next week.
The Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association does not hold out much hope for plantation farmers who are unsecured creditors.
The TFGA's Jan Davis has told ABC Local Radio farmers had concerns about plantation payments for months before Gunns collapsed.
"That was an alarm bell that was rung and alerts were given and quite clearly we believe that there needs to be more investigation so that if there were breaches of the law, which trading while insolvent clearly is, those who were responsible are brought to book," she said.
"What is difficult for us is unravelling the situation between the farmers who own the land, the investors who have some interest in the trees and the receivers and the administrators with the least possible plan and the best possible outcome."

Saturday, 22 March 2014 06:24 AM
BEIJING — Like other relatives of passengers of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Wang Zheng's frustration and anger over a lack of any certain information about the fate of his loved ones continues to grow two weeks after the plane went missing.
"Biggest of all is the emotional turmoil I've been going through. I can't eat, I can't sleep. I've been dreaming of my parents every day," said the 30-year-old IT engineer from Beijing, whose father and mother, Wang Linshi and Xiong Yunming, were both aboard the flight as part of a group of Chinese artists touring Malaysia.
The flight's disappearance on its way from the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 has hit China particularly hard, with 153 of the 239 people on board citizens of the People's Republic. It was the first major incident to hit Chinese travelers since they began visiting abroad in major numbers about a decade ago.
China's government responded with almost unprecedented forcefulness, deploying nearly a dozen ships and several aircraft to the search effort and assigning government officials to meet with relatives and liaison with Malaysian officials.
Relatives such as Wang have put their personal and professional lives on hold waiting for any word of the fate of their loved ones.
At a sprawling hotel complex in Beijing, the relatives rise each morning and eat breakfast — at least those who can muster the appetite — before attending a briefing on the missing flight. Then follows another long day of watching the news and waiting, before an evening briefing that inevitably offers little more information.
Amid the many theories and scant and often dubious, contradictory and disavowed findings, the relatives' patience has at times worn thin.
Following a brief meeting Saturday with Malaysia Airlines and Malaysian government officials, impatience turned to anger as relatives erupted in shouts of "We want to know what the reality is," and "Give us back our loved ones."
"The family members are extremely indignant," read a statement issued by relatives following the meeting. "We believe we have been strung along, kept in the dark and lied to by the Malaysian government."
"I'm psychologically prepared for the worst and I know the chances of them coming back alive are extremely small," said Nan Jinyan, sister-in-law of missing passenger Yan Ling, a 29-year-old engineer who had worked for the last four years at a company that designs equipment for heart patients.
Like many of the relatives, Nan said her helpless feelings were worsened by being almost entirely dependent on the media for news and said she was deeply unhappy with what she called the vague and often contradictory information coming from Malaysia Airlines.
"If they can't offer something firm, they ought to just shut up," said Nan, who is representing the family as well as Yan's 23-year-old girlfriend.
Nan said Yan traveled frequently and had not talked about the Malaysia trip with his family, who come from the eastern province of Jiangsu.
"The last time he talked to us was about half a month before this happened. He travels quite frequently on business trips anyway, so we don't chat about his business trips on the phone," Nan said.
Volunteer psychologist Paul Yin, who has worked with some of the relatives, said not knowing the fate of their loved ones was preventing them from confronting their grief.
"When there is uncertainty for several days, people go from hope to despair, and back again, making it impossible to bring final healing," Yin said.
Thursday and Friday were particularly difficult days for the relatives, about 100 of whom are staying at the sprawling Lido Hotel complex in eastern Beijing. Another two dozen flew to Kuala Lumpur, where there have also been emotional scenes at news briefings.
Word came Thursday that satellite imagery had captured debris that might be part of the lost aircraft. That night, Malaysian officials from several government departments flew to Beijing to communicate directly with the relatives.
But searches by plane and ship turned up no sign of any wreckage. The officials' presentation, meanwhile, was largely a reiteration of what the relatives already knew, without much new information.
"We're exhausted," Wang said. "Why did the plane fly so far away? Are the people still alive? Is this new piece of information reliable? This is how I feel."
Wang said he still had hope and was praying that the Australian reports that debris from the plane may have been spotted turned out to be false. He said he and other relatives had lingering suspicions about what they were being told by the Malaysian side, but were at a loss as to what to do next.
"We feel they're hiding something from us," Wang said.
The distrust of the authorities is rooted in modern China's experience with the arbitrary use of power and scorning of public opinion by the single-party communist state, social commentators say.
"China is now at a time of escalating social problems and government actions have sharpened the distrust," said Shi Shusi, an independent commentator and journalist with the official Worker's Daily newspaper.
Repeated government cover-ups in the name of preserving stability have had a corrosive effect on public trust, Shu said. That's created a mindset that is hard to reverse, despite a relatively prompt and thorough response from the government, he said.
"Once the government lies, it's difficult to restore public belief," Shu said.
Wang said he last spoke with his parents on the night of their departure, shortly before they boarded the plane. They told him they were busy filling out exit cards and would call him upon their arrival in Beijing.
"I will stay here until they give me an answer," he said. "I am not leaving until I know for certain where my parents are. I am not leaving any time before that."
Whatever the outcome, Nan said the family would not let it derail their future.
"I never imagined a disaster like this would befall our family, but life has to continue," she said.

Posting its first defensive shutout in nearly a year, the North Central College football team remained unbeaten on the 2013 season Saturday with a 42-0 victory over the North Park University Vikings at the Holmgren Ahletic Complex.
The fourth-ranked Cardinals (6-0, 3-0 College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin) racked up 35 points in the first half and coasted to the win, owning a 542-200 advantage in total yards, forcing three turnovers and stopping four fourth-down conversion attempts. It is North Central's first shutout since a 52-0 win over Illinois Wesleyan University on Oct. 27 of last season.
"Defensively, that was just terrific effort, especially by the young guys," said North Central head coach John Thorne. "They never did give up. North Park kept moving the ball, and they made the big plays to stop them."
North Central's offense struck quickly the entire first half, scoring five touchdowns from at least 30 yards away. Cardinal running back Matt Randolph opened the scoring with a 35-yard TD run just over two minutes into the game, After a short Viking punt left the visitors with just 28 yards to cover, Peter Sorenson got into the act by catching a 24-yard scoring pass from Spencer Stanek with 9:55 still on the clock in the opening period.
The Cardinals' next two drives resulted in a missed field goal and a punt. The Cardinals next got on the board early in the second quarter when Oshayne Browngot the ball on third down and rambled 36 yards to the end zone. After another short North Park punt gave the Cardinals the ball at the Vikings' 44, Stanek ran right on the option and kept the ball all the way to the goal line for his sixth rushing TD of the year.
Two penalties threatened to derail North Central's final drive of the opening half, but Stanek was able to find tight end A.J. Thomas in the end zone for a 30-yard TD strike. Thomas' sixth score of the season came with 1:34 left in the half and sent the Cardinals into the break with a commanding 35-0 advantage.
Stanek guided one final touchdown drive before leaving the game for good. AfterKevin Schroeder derailed North Park's best offensive drive by recovering a fumble on the Cardinals' two-yard line, Stanek shot a pass to Ryne Rezac for a 73-yard completion that got North Central into striking distance. Brown finished the job with a six-yard TD run with 9:47 left in the third quarter.
The Cardinals ran for 328 yards and averaged an even eight yards per offensive play despite losing three fumbles and being flagged for a total of 10 penalties.
"We made more mistakes than we can afford to keep making," Thorne said. "We had a hard time running the ball on the inside, so I'm anxious to see the film on that. If we can get some of our injured linemen back, that's got to help that get going. Dropping the ball on the ground is not something we're looking for, but hopefully those guys learned something from that and they'll do better next week.
North Park set up for a 23-yard field goal attempt on its next possession, but a botched snap led to a 14-yard tackle for loss by cornerback Kevin Nalefski. The Vikings' subsequent drive came to an end after just three plays when Tyler Scottrecovered a fumble. North Park's final two offensive possessions resulted in missed fourth-down conversion attempts. The Vikings were 0 for 4 on fourth down in the game.
"I know the starters from the defense really were excited and felt happy about that, because as a defensive player you always want that shutout and there's nothing the starters can do anymore except stand over there and cheer and encourage the guys," Thorne said. "They had some bad plays, but they had really good plays whenwe needed them the most.
"The thing I'm the most proud of is we asked the guys to play with a lot of class and make sure the guys from North Park really feel good about playing football today. Help guys up, pat guys on the back, say nice things to them. I saw an awful lot of that happening so I'm really, really proud of that."
Stanek completed 12 of 15 passes for 203 yards and two scores while also running for 39 yards on just three carries. Brown was the Cardinals' top rusher with 65 yards on six attempts, while Zack Pattat ran 13 times for 58 yards and Ryan Kent gained 55 yards on five rushes.

More than ever, women believe having both a successful career and family life is attainable, new research shows.
A study by Citi and LinkedIn revealed that 96 percent of women think they can "have it all" when it comes to careers, financial security and relationships.
Overall, the study found that the top two things women must have to consider themselves successful are being in a loving relationship and having enough money to do what they want. Raising healthy and happy kids is also a critical piece of being successful, the research shows.
When it comes to their career, only 17 percent of the women surveyed think reaching the height of success in their field is a factor in their assessment of "having it all." The majority of those surveyed consider themselves successful when they have a job they enjoy and an employer that values their work. For 15 percent of women, success is defined as being their own boss.
"These results reinforce how women's definitions of success have evolved beyond a one-size-fits-all ideal," said Linda Descano, managing director and head of digital partnerships, content and social for Citi.
The research shows that the definition of career success changes for women over time. Those women surveyed under age 35 were more than twice as likely than those over 35 to equate "having it all" with reaching the top of the corporate ladder in their field, while older employees were more than twice as likely as their younger peers to equate it with being their own boss.
Work-life balance, career advancement opportunities and finding time to network are the top three concerns for women in the workplace, the study found.
The research also discovered that for working women, paying off student loans, saving for retirement, credit card debt and paying for their children's' needs and education were their top of financial worries.
Gone are the days where all women place a priority on getting married and having kids. The study found that 36 percent of the women said they don't think they need to be married in order to "have it all."
The study was based on surveys of more than 500 women LinkedIn members.
