Personal computers have become an inexpensive yet powerful tool that can be used in the furtherance of almost any criminal activity. Criminal acts can easily be coordinated worldwide using the Internet, and criminal communications can easily be encrypted and thus secreted from law enforcement officials. Bomb-making recipes and other tools of terror can be shared worldwide over the Internet. The fruits of a crime can be recorded and tracked with computer spreadsheets and the particulars regarding criminal associates can be easily managed using computer databases.
While this could present a bleak picture for law enforcement, the use of personal computers by the criminal element can create a wealth of unique and valuable evidence that might not otherwise be available to investigators.
Fortunately for law enforcement computer evidence specialists, personal computers were never designed to be secure. As a result, sensitive data, passwords, time and date stamps and other potentially valuable information are written to bizarre locations on computer hard disk drives and floppy diskettes as part of the normal operating process. To the corporate, government or individual computer user this can be the source of serious computer security concerns. To an experienced "cybercop," it can be a dream come true.
Back in "the good old days," we knew very little about computers and attorneys and judges knew even less. But computer evidence is very fragile and can easily be altered, and the processing of such evidence for use in trial by an individual without proper training is like performing brain surgery with a pocket knife. It is important that only properly trained computer evidence specialists process computer evidence.
The first computer evidence courses were offered at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) back in 1989. We've come a long way since then. Specialized software utilities to automate the search of large computer hard disk drives have been developed by folks like Steve Choy and Bill Haynes. The "electronic crime scene" can now be preserved with programs like SafeBack from Sydex Corp. Obscure data segments containing binary (nonreadable) data can now be filtered, making the contents easily printed or displayed using simple word processing software.
Most importantly, additional training courses have been spawned to deal with the demand for law enforcement and military forensic computer science training. Just recently, the University of New Haven, in West Haven, Conn., created a Forensic Technology Institute which is dedicated to such training. This is probably the first university to offer college credit and certification tied to computer evidence processing.
A Training and Research Institute was recently created at the National White Collar Crime Center to deal with law enforcement computer evidence training issues. Because of the demand, these much-needed institutions are welcomed and supplement the training courses already offered at FLETC and by SEARCH and The International Assn. of Computer Investigative Specialists
Obviously, a complete training course in forensic computer science is outside the scope of this article. However, following are some of the common mistakes that are made and some tips that may be helpful in the processing of computer evidence tied to DOS/Windows-based computer systems.
Mistake #1 -- Running the Computer
The first rule is to never run any programs on the computer in question without taking precautions -- e.g., write protection or by making a backup. Also, you should not boot or run the computer using the operating system on the computer in question. It is relatively easy for criminals to rig their computers to destroy hard disk drive content or specific files by planting decoy programs or through the modification of the operating system. For example, the simple DIR instruction, which is used to display the directory of a disk, can easily be rigged to reformat the hard disk drive.

That the Red Wings struck out in their search for a right-handed defenseman on the free agent market is bad, there's no denying that. It's also something that can be explained, though.
Sometimes there's no amount of money you can throw at a player to make them sign with you. We saw that in 2012 when Ryan Suter and Zach Parise chose the Minnesota Wild over Detroit because it was closer to home for them. Sometimes you do everything you can and it's just not enough.
Worse, though, is then compromising and making a signing for the sake of making a signing, as the Red Wings appeared to do today. For weeks the story was that they wanted a right-handed defenseman; that they wanted to upgrade. The names weren't always the same, sometimes it was Dan Boyle and sometimes Matt Niskanen. And then they missed out on Boyle. And Niskanen. And Anton Stralman. And the left-handed Christian Ehrhoff.
As the list of players spurning Detroit grew longer, the goal seemingly changed. It no longer became about getting a right-handed defenseman or an upgrade but about signing someone, anyone, for the sake of making a signing.
With the signing of Kyle Quincey, Detroit has not found a right-handed shot (something that could have been done by simply not signing anyone and promoting Ryan Sproul from Grand Rapids). The blueline has not been upgraded as it's the exact same septet as skated there last season.
Bad is not being able to draw in free agents. When you're not a destination, you have to do more to pull people in. We saw that in 2008 when the Chicago Blackhawks had to overpay to bring in defenseman Brian Campbell. In that case, money was enough. Sometimes it takes something else.
Worse is not knowing what the something else is.
"We made pitches to a number of defensemen," general manager Ken Holland said. "For a variety of reasons, they opted to go elsewhere. I don't know why they're not coming here."
The NHL now has an interview period prior to the opening of free agency. It's no longer a matter of throwing your best cash offer out there on July 1 and hoping it's good enough, you've got an opportunity to sell the player on your team.
But it works both ways. GMs have the opportunity to talk to players, see what fit they're looking for, see what makes them tick. And if July 1 comes around and you're left saying that you don't know why a player isn't coming to your team, it means that you didn't do your job in the lead up to free agency.
I admit that I have not been paying close attention, but a family member commented that Legwand went to Ottawa...who else did we shed? (Although Legwand was no help in the playoffs, I had liked his acquisition...sorry to see him go.)

It empirically characterizes the transmission problems of VoWiFi and describes scenarios where it could be used over the existing network technologies. The two major problems found were: the excessively long handoffs and the occurrence of bursts. We conclude that is feasible to use VoWiFi if, during a voice call, mobility is kept low, signal strength is high enough and the network capacity is not exceeded.}, author = {Arlindo Conceicao and Jin Li and Dinei Florencio}, booktitle = {WebMedia}, publisher = {ACM}, title = {Voice transmission over IEEE 802.11 networks: main issues and restrictions}, url = {http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=146892}, year = {2006}, }

Looks like a fun bike for sure but I agree, it's not a bike to be ridden on the track.Quote:

It's not hi-zoot. It's not fast. It's definetely not pretty.
I hate the geometry. I hate the looks. I hate the frame.
But I'm fast and that's all that matters. This bike took me to some good victories. It's a loaner from my coach, a Giant Bowery with upgraded components. Soon to be replaced with an Erba (NJS for the hipsters) steel frame that I'm getting through a trade

I managed though to take a few shots of the latest upgrade.

Welcome guys!
here is my track bike
60's Hillman - Australian track bike. Cinelli stem and bars. Stronglight cranks with Williams inch pitch ring. Airlite green annodised hubs. Brooks narrow (butchered) B17 saddle.
This is a little somethin' I finally finished putting together. Now I can add it to my collection of other bikes that are entirely too nice for me and get ridden entirely too infrequently. Our head wheelbuilder added his special touch when he built the rear for me; I can now see the allure of unlabeled deep section rims after seeing the front on the bike.
DW, it's John at Zipp. Are you going to be able to talk Nate into hitting Major Taylor?
I forgot about this one... ;) Who said I couldnt do lugs?
That's a sharp bike, luckily, I saw it up close and personal at a Thursday night race at Major Taylor when DW showed up. Wish I could put that much $ into a track bike, but I get all of my stuff out of luck and favors.
An Australian built frame. Serious seat stays. Zeus Ti BB, cranks and seat post. Campy hubs. It's a great bike to ride.

PCC Women's Swim Attains 13 All-American Marks
The Pasadena City College women's swim team picked up 2014 All-American honors in 13 separate events, including four relays, at the recently released Community College All-American lists. The top 16 fastest times for all of the nation's community colleges qualify for the honors.
Sophomore Shannon Cheung had the second fastest time in the nation with her state champion swim of 17 minutes, 34.25 seconds in the 1,650-yard freestyle. Cheung also was a state champ in the 200 individual medley where her 2:06.89 time put her third nationally in the event. Cheung was fourth best in the 500 freestyle at 5:06.28. In all, Cheung was All-American in seven events.
Freshman Connie Peng had No. 4 USA times in the 100 backstroke (57.88) and 100 butterfly (58.56) while placing sixth in the 50 backstroke at 27.06. Peng matched Cheung's seven All-American honors.
Sophomore Arolyn Basham also joined the seven All-American group by placing No. 6 in the 100 IM (1:01.04), No. 8 in the 50 breaststroke (30.62), and No. 12 in the 100 breaststroke at 1:07.55.
Cheung, Peng, Basham and freshman Tiffany Wong were together on the other four All-American relay swims. The 400 medley relay was fifth (3:58.94), the 200 medley relay sixth (1:48.68), the 200 freestyle relay seventh (1:39.62) and the 400 freestyle relay was eighth (3:38.81).
The Lancers finished sixth at the CCCAA State Championships, the highest finish in the program's history.

Standard deviance
Interview | Author Anne Hendershott on the redefinition of bad behavior as "normal"
Anne Hendershott, a professor of sociology at the University of San Diego, boldly uses in the title of her latest book, The Politics of Deviance (Encounter, 2004), a word that many dare no longer speak.
WORLD: Is anything deviant anymore?
Hendershott: We have become reluctant to label behaviors "deviant." Drug abuse, promiscuity, abortion, and even homosexual acts are all behaviors that in the past were viewed as quite deviant. Today, in many cases, these behaviors have been normalized-or, as the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan said, we have "defined deviancy down."
I was curious how that happened and decided to look closely at some of these behaviors to understand the process of redefinition. I found that in the current politics of deviance, the power to label-and remove labels from-deviant behavior has moved away from the religious realm and been seized by influential interest or advocacy groups. Women's groups and gay-rights organizations, for instance, now have the ability to silence speech by those with whom they disagree. Health-care professionals and advocates have succeeded in medicalizing drug abuse and other behaviors.
WORLD: What's wrong with viewing drug addiction as a disease?
Hendershott: On the surface, medicalizing drug abuse is viewed as compassionate. In some "treatment" programs, such as methadone maintenance or harm-reduction programs in which hypodermic needles are supplied to IV drug users, the addict is enabled to "live safely" with his or her addiction. Yet, the reality is that drug abuse is a moral problem and needs to be addressed morally-not medically. This is why faith-based drug treatment programs are often much more successful than the medicalized programs.
WORLD: And meanwhile, we are medicalizing many behaviors.
Hendershott: Yes, many that in the past were viewed as disruptive, eccentric, or simply "bad." The new mental illness designation given to unruly children and adolescents has now progressed from Attention Deficit Disorder to Oppositional Defiance Disorder-replete with medication protocols. Adults, too, are increasingly being labeled. In San Diego, we had a case in which a surfer claimed "surf rage" when he was arrested for nearly beating a fellow surfer to death for invading his "surf space."
Behaviors like "shopping addiction" have been identified. A woman in San Francisco successfully sued her company for its unwillingness to make reasonable accommodations for her compulsion to wash, brush, and then rewash her hair for up to three hours each morning if it did not feel right. The 9th Circuit Court ruled that when her employer eventually fired her for being late, it was without cause-because of her mental illness.
WORLD: And some also want accommodation for what you call the "sexually adventurous adolescent"?
Hendershott: I chose that chapter title after reading about the social science response to a major syphilis outbreak among suburban teenagers in Conyers, Ga. In Conyers, a large number of very young teenagers were engaging in promiscuous sexual behaviors-some with more than 100 partners. The behavior led to a syphilis epidemic in the upscale suburb. While shocking, the response from some women's groups and sociologists was even more shocking. Deborah Tolman, a research scientist and director of the Adolescent Sexuality Project at Wellesley College, suggested that girls are entitled to their own sexual desire or sexual pleasure and that "good" girls or "nice" girls are depriving themselves of a full life. Ms. Tolman's article, "How Being a Good Girl Can Be Bad for Girls," is a classic redefinition of deviance in which what has been regarded as "good" is recast as "deviant" and what was seen as bad becomes "normal."
WORLD: Can Christians do anything to remoralize public discourse?
Hendershott: Some religious leaders have become reluctant to speak publicly of morals at all-and in their place, a powerful advocacy community stands ready, willing, and able to redefine deviance for us.

Scranton man dies in crash near Hegins
HEGINS - A Scranton man died Tuesday when the truck he was driving crashed on Route 25 at the entrance to Camp A While campground in Hegins Township.
Robert J. Taylor, 46, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 5:45 a.m. crash by Schuylkill County Deputy Corner Sandra Poletti.
The driver of the second vehicle involved, Clinton Otto, 51, of Hegins, was not injured.
State police Trooper Michael Keating of the Schuylkill Haven station said the crash occurred as Taylor was driving a 2006 International 4300 truck west on Route 25 and tried to follow a curve in the road but lost control of his vehicle.
The truck went off the road and Taylor counter-steered back into the westbound lane, traveled across the double yellow line and entered the eastbound lane, where he again counter-steered into the westbound lane, Keating said.
As Taylor was trying to gain control of his truck, Otto was driving a 1995 Honda Civic east and swerved to avoid a collision, causing him to drive off the road and hit a drainage ditch.
Keating said Taylor's truck continued across the westbound lane and then went off the road, continued northeast and went up an embankment, striking a tree.
The truck then traveled back onto the road, went across Route 25 and struck a fence at the entrance to Camp A While, Keating said.
Taylor's truck came to a stop facing southwest while Otto's car came to a stop facing southeast, Keating said.
Assisting at the scene were firefighters from Hegins, Sacramento and Gratz, Pottsville-Schuylkill Haven Area EMS and Tremont EMS.
Keating said he was also assisted at the scene by other troopers from the Schuylkill Haven station.

|Description of research activities: Dr. Anderson's group recent studies have focused on the enzymology and structure-function relationships of the enzymes of GSH biosynthesis, g-glutamylcysteine synthetase and most especially on GSH synthetase. She and her group were the first to clone and express GSH synthetase and have optimized its expression and purification using a bacterial system. Their research was the first to show that the rat and the human enzyme display negative cooperativity with respect to the g-glutamylcysteine substrate, but not toward the other substrates, ATP or glycine. They have prepared a number of site-directed mutant enzymes, and now are studying the effects of these changes on activity and function of GSH synthetase. Other current GSH synthetase projects include studies of its ATP binding site and its catalytic mechanism (obtaining a kinetic model of reaction order and examining the molecular basis of negative cooperativity). Also, GSH synthetase has several loop structures at/near the substrate binding sites, and Dr. Anderson plans to examine the role that loop-loop and loop-substrate interactions have in enzyme function. They are also working on understanding the nature of the patient GSH synthetase deficiencies. Most recently, Dr. Anderson's group has embarked on molecular modeling studies; these modeling studies help explain their experimental findings and help guide their future studies.

NEW ORLEANS — The traditional organizational structure of a textile service company can often look like a puzzle with several pieces out of place, consultant Troy Lovins, president of Performance Matters, told a seminar audience this morning at the Clean Show.
Misaligned teams, goals, agendas and incentives hamper a company's ability to do business. "Silo" management in which departments work independently and sometimes directly in opposition can develop.
"Silos are the archenemy of the self-managed team," Lovins said.
A self-managed team is one that has the ability to act, take responsibility for and take ownership of its service when management isn't there.
Keys to creating a successful self-managed team are:
Build a common vision. Lovins suggests offering a broad perspective and using a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis tool. "Get people centered on a single 'Why?'"
- Align incentives. Often, sales, service and the office staff are throwing darts at different targets, Lovins said. "Use your vision to create common incentives and they will produce a single 'goal-focused' team with similar agendas."
- Communicate, coach and measure. Replace old-style route meetings ("Billy, don't forget to check your oil") with structured meetings featuring clear agendas, then hold workers accountable for taking action, Lovins said.
- Many times, a coaching style is more effective than a straight management style.
- Finally, use key performance measures and make sure they're "global." "Let everyone know what the sales team did last week."
Instead of practicing "hair on fire" management, the leader of a self-managed team can have confidence the job will get done and the company will flourish, Lovins said.
"Imagine what it would be like to go on vacation for two weeks and not have to pick up the phone."
The Uniform & Textile Service Association (UTSA) sponsored the session.

WASHINGTON: The US has warned Pakistan that if it goes ahead with the construction of a USD 7.5 billion gas pipeline with Iran, sanctions would be triggered, even as a section of the project was inaugurated today.
"We have serious concerns, if this project actually goes forward, that the Iran Sanctions Act would be triggered. We've been straight up with the Pakistanis about these concerns. As I said at some length last week, we are also working very closely bilaterally to support alternative projects to provide Pakistan with the energy that it needs," State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland told reporters.

Youth Track: Religious Gesture Disqualifies Winning Team
The Main Point
The official would not admit that the religious aspect of the gesture is what caused the disqualification. From all of the accounts I read, the gesture was not excessive at all, so it begs the question of whether the religious aspect was the reason. Who knows what he or she was thinking.
If the religious aspect was the reason than this is just another example of the progressive movement away from God and religion. Ok all you God hating Atheists - make your vacuous comments.

I'm an atheist, but not a "God hating atheist" as you so lovingly put. I do agree that this punishment might have been a bit harsh but then again religion and schools are supposed to be separate. What if a Buddhist child decided that as praise he wanted to meditate or an Islamic child wanted to shout a prayer? What would your views about religion be then? What if school wanted to teach the Koran instead of The Bible even though the followers of both these religions follow the same God? Perhaps it was just a harsh reminder that religion and schools should never be mixed.ReplyDelete
I guess it is hard to hate something that you do not think exists. Good point.ReplyDelete
If a Muslim track star - rolled out a rug and got on his knees to pray to Allah, I would not have any problem with that.
If a Jewish track star wore a yarmulke during a race - it would not bother me.
It is called freedom.

Good value for money flat aldo there is an issue when you want to contact the landlord he's not always responding.
I had a good time,the room was nice and the booking very easy as the host replied very fast to my Emails!
Hi! The small room was okay. Bathromm and kitchen are fine too. But I had problems with the Hotspot! Perhaps its my own mistake? But I would come again, anytime! Thank you for the nice days in London, Kaz! best wishes Mike
war alles sauber und sehr ordentlich;
schade, ich konnte WI-FI nicht nutzen und habe auf meine Email keine Info bekommen.
Lag sehr gut zur tube und gute Anbindung in ein paar Minuten in die Innenstadt!
The host was very friendly, the room nice and clean and the apparment only 5 minutes from the next tube station. I would always book this room again, if I go to London again.
L'hôte était très sympa, la chambre était belle et propre et l'appartement n'était pas loin du métro (environ cinq minutes à pied). Si un jour je reviendrais à Londres, je vais toujours louer cette chambre à nouveau.
Sehr netter Gastgeber, das Zimmer selbst ist zwar klein aber absolut ausreichend, schließlich will man ohnehin mehr von der Stadt sehen. Das Appartment ist nur ungefähr fünf Minuten von der nächsten U-Bahn Station entfernt, aber man kann auch in der näheren Umgebung einiges sehen. Wenn ich noch einmal nach London komme, würde ich das Zimmer durchaus wieder buchen.
Great room, comfortable, clean. Clean toilets.
Position the meter 7/8 minutes walk.
Really to be recommended!
Ottima camera, confortevole, pulita. Servizi igienici puliti.
Posizione dalla metro 7/8 minuti a piedi.
Veramente da consigliare!
The room was quite small and there was some exposed wiring in the bathroom, so I wouldn't recommend staying here for a long time, but is adequate for the price. The area is a bit rough at night too, but is only 15 minutes from central London. OK but not brilliant.

The building housing the main collection is the former
Headquarters of Royal Air Force Montrose This
map shows the
site of the airfield at the time of the Battle of Britain in 1940.
The original site was expansive and some parts still remain such as
the 1913 hangars, probably the oldest in the world, although
currently not part of the visitor complex.
The squadrons and individuals who served here are represented by a rare and often unique range of objects including a silk scarf which belonged to Major James McCudden VC, a warrant signed by Winston Churchill and a piece of the Red Baron's Fokker Triplane.
Squadrons that have a Montrose connection have dedicated displays such as No 25, No 43, No 83 and No 108 who were formed here and No 603 and No 111 both stationed here in the 1940s.
Other sections portray the 'Montrose Ghost', the dangers of flying, air-sea and mountain rescue, the Home Front, Bombing of Montrose and the social and economic impact on the town.
The addition of the Romney hangar and Nissen hut, made possible via two Heritage Lottery Fund grants and the valiant efforts of volunteers and members, has given us the opportunity to house larger exhibits under cover as well as providing a suitable environment for renovation.
These buildings now exhibit a life sized replica Sopwith Camel, the only World War One aircraft on show to the public in Scotland, prototype Derwent, Spey and Olympus jet engines, original Mann Egerton engine crane fully refurbished, 2 Rolls Royce Merlin engines with the story of the fatal bomber crash they are from, Gipsy Queen engine and Hercules radial engine and an original 1944 Staff Car. There is a display on War Dog Bamse in the 'Home Front' room. A new 'wartime house' has also been completed in the north end of the Centre. The Richard Moss Memorial Collection is now open to the public. Also on display is a Sea Vampire, one of only 8 in existence.
For a modern fighting force, communications are vital. Radio was used extensively by the RAF at Montrose for air-to-air and air-ground communication. Facilities were also in place to train pilots to fly along 'beams' generated by radio for navigation and guidance purposes.
To continue in this theme a Radio Section of was set up. Through the generosity of a local family, the GM3KC call sign was re-issued. The section meets every Sunday afternoon, but can be heard on the air using GB2MAS (Montrose Air Station) at special events. Visitors wishing to see the station on air or the exhibits on days other than Sunday please contact Ewan (MM0BIX) or 01674 676740.

ECAC Lacrosse League Adds Three Teams
Aug. 6, 2003
AMHERST, Mass. - The ECAC Lacrosse League announced recently that three new teams will join the conference for the 2005 season, bringing the total membership to seven squads. Hobart, St. John's and Loyola (Md.) will begin play in the ECAC in 2005, joining Massachusetts, Georgetown, Penn State and Rutgers.
The three teams are joining the league after Navy and Maryland-Baltimore County left the conference after last season to join other conferences, more suited for their travel schedule.
UMass Head Coach Greg Cannella said the three new teams will be a great fit for the ECAC.
"These three teams will be great additions for the ECAC," said Cannella. "Hobart and Loyola boast two of the nation's top programs, and have had outstanding records and several NCAA Tournament appearances between them. St. John's recently made a commitment to lacrosse and will restart its program in 2004. I know (SJU) Head Coach Rick Sewell will do a great job building that program, just as he did at Dartmouth before taking the job."
Hobart is one of the nation's top programs, sporting an all-time record of 675-383-20. The Statesmen have won 16 national championships and appeared in 24 NCAA Tournaments.
Loyola will join a conference for the first time when it becomes a member of the ECAC. The Greyhounds finished 7-6 last season and have appeared in 14 NCAA Tournaments, earning the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in 1998 and 1999. Loyola has had at least one player named All-America for 20 consecutive years.
St. John's added men's lacrosse to its intercollegiate program in December 2002. The Red Storm will begin competing on the Division I level in 2005.
The ECAC Lacrosse League will play its fifth season in 2004. UMass has won two of the four titles, earning a share in 2001, before winning the title outright in 2002.

The application of engineering knowledge to the fields of medicine and biology. The bioengineer must be well grounded in biology and have engineering knowledge that is broad, drawing upon electrical, chemical, mechanical, and other engineering disciplines. The bioengineer may work in any of a large range of areas. One of these is the provision of artificial means to assist defective body functionssuch as hearing aids, artificial limbs, and supportive or substitute organs. In another direction, the bioengineer may use engineering methods to achieve biosynthesis of animal or plant productssuch as for fermentation processes. (Encyclopedia Britannica)

Our kia stopped working yesterday. The Transmission lights came on. We have been told by the dealer the transmisison is cracked and will cost us $ 10,000 to repair. We live in the city and have had no accidents. We are told the reason it is so expensive is because of the sensor. We are really concerned as we have no idea how this happend, and worried even if we fix it will this happen again.

The Smartest Giant in Town
Julia Donaldson
Illustrator: Axel Scheffler
- A giant gives his clothes away to those who need them more than he does in this lovely story about helping others
- Repetitive text that is great to read aloud
- Colourful illustrations full of amusing details
Publisher: Macmillan Children's books
'My son loved turning the pages with me...'
Really good book loved reading it my son and he loved turning the pages with me.
About the author
What families say
With my son being autistic, I worked really hard to instil reading as a pleasure, rather than a chore. He now loves anything by Julia Donaldson and can recite The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child by heart.
We love this book, my twins particularly enjoy the illustrations and identifying the different animals in the background. As well as the rhymes which recount the different people that have been helped by the giant. A favourite in our house!
i love reading this book and singing along with the giant's song, both my daughters and my nephew love this book i also bought a copy of this book for my nephew so he can enjoy it at home with his mum. fantastic book :)
My 3 yr old loves this book - as well as the books to read at bedtime, we have a Julia Donaldson CD we listen to in the car (preferable to nursery rhymes!). This is his favourite (even over the usual fave the Gruffalo) and he can quote it word for word! I'm looking forward to my 9m old being old enough to start enjoying it too. It has also spawned a common quote in our house "Cheer Up!"
Amazing book !! Lovely for all the family I love these authors
This is a fabulous story live reading it when it's asked for which is quite often. My three year old even now knows the rhyme which is great every time it comes up we play what's the missing word in the song and he knows instantly!
lovely rhymes. My 4 year old boy loves this and we read this at least once a week
Me and my oldest son like this book. It's a good way of learning how to be kind and to share.

text: Seeing as lane filtering and passing within the same lane are not legal in Arizona except for motorcycles with each other and not cars are WOLs really VC in Arizona? This seems to be a bit of a paradox I thought about recently when people talked about WOLs being VC. It occured to me that the "Same Road Same Rules" philosophy does not apply to WOLs. Any thoughts?

Credit Advice
Topics addressed on June 27, 2007:
Medical judgments negatively impact credit history
Dear Experian,
I was told that medical judgments don't have the same impact or weight on a credit report as a poor credit card payment history or another form of bad debt. Is this true?
Dear KLB,
It is probably not true. Some lenders may give less importance to medical debts as a matter of their individual policy, but in terms of how it is shown on a credit report, a medical debt is treated the same as any other unpaid debt.
Medical debts typically only appear on a credit report when they have been sent to collections. Collection accounts are very negative because they show not only that you missed a payment, but that you did not repay the debt at all, and a debt collection organization is now trying to collect at least part of the debt.
For that reason, a medical collection account, just as any other collection account, will likely have a very significant, negative impact on credit scores, and therefore, on lending decisions.
Thanks for asking.

5 cases of whooping cough found in Haywood County
Published: Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 5:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 5:03 p.m.
WAYNESVILLE, N.C. (AP) Health officials in a western North Carolina county are confirming a fifth case of pertussis, or whooping cough, and are looking into possibly more cases.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Thursday that the Haywood County Health Department director Carmine Rocco said that pertussis was confirmed in a third adult. Previously, pertussis had been identified in two children less than 6 months old and in two other adults.
Rocco said the health department is investigating the possibility of several additional cases. Symptoms of pertussis can include a cough lasting for at least two weeks and a series of additional symptoms, including coughing fits, a "whooping" sound when taking in a breath and vomiting immediately after coughing.

Sonic Youth Gets Intimate With The Independent
When Sonic Youth announced last Monday they'd be playing a show at the Independent last night, tickets sold out in about 30 seconds. It wasn't their only show in the Bay Area this tour—they played the Fox Theater Sunday night—but it was a rare opportunity to see them play somewhere as small as the Indy. The intimacy of the packed venue felt like we were seeing the band at a New York club in the 80s, except it's San Francisco, 2009 and the fans are all grown up.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Outfielder Gerut staying humble
Written by | Tom Krasovic | 11:03 a.m., Aug 26, 2008
The Padres' Jody Gerut said he isn't all that comfortable when he bats against big Jon Rauch, a reliever who joined the NL West last month when the Diamondbacks acquired him from the Nationals.
"He's 6-foot-10 and kind of herky jerky," Gerut said. He added that he doesn't see the ball "particularly well" from Rauch.
Maybe so, but you have to think that Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin will think twice about matching Rauch against Gerut tonight or tomorrow at Petco Park. In his last three at-bats against Rauch -- a span of three series starting in July -- Gerut has hit two home runs and a 400-foot fly out to right-center at Petco Park that would have been out of most ballparks. Monday, Gerut's 389-foot home run off Rauch won the game. Overall, Gerut is 4-for-8 against Rauch with two home runs and a double.
In fairness to Rauch, Gerut has been hitting the ball hard against a wide variety of pitchers this summer. Monday's home run was his seventh this month. Gerut is playing so well that Padres General Manager Kevin Towers has taken to calling him a worthy MVP candidate for this team, even though he seldom played for the Padres in April and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez earned All-Star honors.

Neighbors are tired of loud rock music at Gold Creek Community Church services but feel powerless to get anyone to do anything about it. One church member is the Snohomish County sheriff.
When Guy Carcione's sofa frame begins to shake and he hears rumbling that isn't thunder, he knows services have begun.
And he's not happy.
On Sundays — three times in the morning and once in the evening — Wednesday band practices and occasional Friday-night concerts, such as the Gungor rock concert planned for this Friday, Gold Creek Community Church's services are marked by hard-rocking music: Screaming guitars, booming basses and pounding drums.
The Mill Creek-area church has no conventional religious trappings — crosses and altars — and music is the main part of the worship experience. It attracts young people traditional churches don't, say the pastors.

Most Read Stories
"Music is a powerful medium," Pastor Larry Ehoff, the worship director, told the congregation on Sunday.
The church is a brown multibuilding complex in the middle of a large parking lot ringed by trim suburban homes, many bearing red signs admonishing the church members for "not respecting their neighbors."
The neighbors have complained repeatedly about the loud music to Snohomish County authorities, including the sheriff and the county prosecutor, but the residents say their concerns have been disregarded.
For his part, Pastor Dan Kellogg, a youthful man who preaches in jeans and a rhinestone-trimmed black shirt, says the church takes the complaints seriously. And Ehoff, who plays in the band, says the church has spent $50,000 putting up drywall to mitigate the sound.
Snohomish County Sheriff John Lovick, a member of the church, says deputies respond to every call regarding the church and that three complaints have been sent to the Prosecutor's Office. So far no charges have been filed.
Snohomish County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Cheryl Johnson said one complaint had insufficient evidence. Another was referred back to the deputies for more information and a third is still being processed.
Carcione and his neighbors, who live at least an eighth of a mile from the church, contend that the sheriff's membership in the church and the church's policy of hiring off-duty deputies for traffic control have created a climate of tolerance that has allowed their complaints to be brushed off.
It's a contention that Lovick disputes.
"I shouldn't be penalized for where I go to church," he said.
The conflict has become a battle of decibel readings.
The county law says noise should not exceed 55 decibels.
The church says it sets its sound system for 90 decibels with a peak of 95 decibels. Ehoff says some other churches he surveyed set their levels even higher, from 85 to 105 decibels.
Meanwhile, neighbors have taken their own readings and say they got one of 75 decibels, on 148th Street Southeast, which runs at the back of their homes and in front of the church.
No one apparently has gotten a reading within the law.
All the church has to do is turn down the bass, said neighbor Lou DeFranza. The bass is so loud and pulsing it rattles and vibrates their homes.
The neighbors aren't complaining about such things as increased traffic from the church. It's mostly the bass, not even the actual music, he said.
"On Wednesday nights (when there are rehearsals) it starts about 6," said Josh Schoener, one of the neighbors. "I turn on all the fans to create a white noise to try to block out the sound."
Church officials have told him, he said, that their decibel reader, when held outside the church, found noise from passing traffic was louder than the music inside the church.
Late last summer, the church built a new "performance space" capable of seating 1,700, with 25-foot-high ceilings, black walls, concrete floor, a stage and theater screen. The setting was designed to be "hip," with high-tech lighting and a venue not only for Sunday worship, but also for the church's other programs, which over the years have ranged from offering tattoos during services to hosting a circus.
The new building amplifies music like a sound box, say the neighbors. And when the building opened in early fall, the noise complaints went from occasional to frequent, they say.
Inside, the worship space looks more like a rock-concert venue — with huge screen, stage, high-tech lighting and amplifiers — than a conventional church.
It's the young and hip style of worship that attracts people such as Eric Hudson Jr.
"I grew up in this church and I love it," said Hudson, 20, as he made a single-tall latte at the church's espresso cafe. "It's the atmosphere here, and the people are friendly."
On Sunday, Ehoff, dressed in black jeans, T-shirt and a hoodie, sang "Rope," a rock hit by the Foo Fighters, and Kellogg based his sermon on hanging onto God as the ultimate rope. As he spoke, images of rock climbers played on the screen behind him.
In an email to Lyle Ronglien, one of the complaining neighbors and also a musician, Ehoff wrote what he considered amicable correspondence between guys who loved rock: "Five years ago we developed our own sound policy based on what felt like 'us' and what we were trying to accomplish, and who we were trying to reach. At that point I bought a high dollar DB reader that is attached to a computer and began to analyze every service. The system is set at 90 (decibels or DB) and allows for peaks of 95."
What residents across the street say that means is the music — and the bass in particular — is consistently louder than the 55 decibels allowed by the Snohomish County ordinance for residential areas.
"Gold Creek is a Christian Church and we believe our First Amendment right is freedom of religion," Ehoff wrote to Ronglien. "You have said 'just turn it down,' but I want to worship in the way I want to worship and I don't want someone else to tell me how I can do it."
One engineer told the church it could cost $100,000 to fully soundproof the building, which has concrete floors and high ceilings and was built on a budget in 2000 and added to over the years.
Lovick believes the county's sound ordinance is difficult to interpret. On one hand, anything that disturbs someone can be considered a nuisance; and on the other, it sets the residential noise level at 55.
"The noise ordinance is flawed," Ehoff said. "It is vaguely written and impossible to follow. On one side of the ordinance is a list of lawful measurable limits, which experts (sound engineers) have confirmed that Gold Creek does not exceed. Then it flips over to be completely subjective and says you just can't be a nuisance. Well, a crying baby can be a nuisance."
Things can get a bit nasty. …
In an email to Ronglien, Ehoff asked: "Would you really suggest that 2,000-plus people worship differently so you can sleep in?"
Says Carcione: "I don't care if they're Satan worshippers. I just want them to turn it down."
