New York Rangers
The New York Rangers are looking to get back into the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs after being eliminated by the New Jersey Devils in the 2011-12 playoffs but the biggest play may be the franchise signing a deal with Barclays Center in Brooklyn which will send the team there in 2015. It was because of the uncertainty of the franchise and arena in which they currently play (in Nassau) that the team was unable to lure any quality free agents.
The top free agents that did sign on with the club include former Coyotes Taylor Pyatt (2-yrs, $3.1 million), former Penguin Aaron Asham (2-yr $2 million) and former Islander Michael Haley (2-yr, $1.2 million).
In the 2012 NHL Entry draft, the Rangers selected D Brady Skjei in the 1st round (28th overall selection), C Crisoval Nieves in the 2nd round (59th overall selection).

I'm only 6 weeks pregnant and have gained weight. I have a Thryoid problem. Is that the problem?
This is my first pregnancy. Is it normal to gain weight so quickly if you have Hypothyroidism? I've been on thyroid medication for years. My Dr is checking my thyroid levels to check and make sure the levels are normal. I'm just irritated that my pants are already snug when i'm not very far along in my pregnancy.

I have hypothiroidism as well and qith my dirst child I gained a lot from the eggining of my pregnancy, had to wear maternity clothes from my second month, I gained 51 pounds total, it was a lot, the second time I gained a lot at the beggining but were really careful with my diet and exercised every day and ended up gaining only 26 pounds, so my suggestion is have a well balanced diet (5 meals a day at least that include fruits, vegetables, milk, nuts, oily fish, proteins, carbs, avoid all types sugars but natural ones and limit your carbs) and walk at least 20 minutes daily.posted 03/09/2013 by Mini myli
*with, beggining. Also drink a lot of water (at least 60 oz)posted 03/09/2013 by Mini myli
I'm not well-versed on thyroid issues, but I do know that thyroid problems have an effect on weight. It's very possible that that's what's going on with you, especially if you've had to stop taking your thyroid meds. If your eating habits haven't changed and the doctor confirms that your thyroid levels are at baseline, then it's probably just water weight. I know it's frustrating, but it's one of the many joys of pregnancy. Drink plenty of water so your body doesn't think it has to retain fluids. Good luck and congrats!posted 03/08/2013 by neneface

Over the past few months, the Marcellus Shale Coalition asked Pennsylvanians their questions about natural gas development.
This website will answer those questions straightforwardly and honestly.
Natural gas production from the Marcellus Shale continues to generate enormous amounts of state, county and local tax revenues, in addition to revenues from the newly-enacted bipartisan impact fee. Here's more information about the revenues being generated, benefiting every Pennsylvanian, thanks to safe natural gas development. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) released impact fee revenue generated from unconventional natural gas wells through December 2011, exceeding projections by almost $25 million. The nearly $206 million in new revenue, as laid out in Act 13, is directed to the commonwealth and the 37 counties and nearly 1,500 municipalities where natural gas production is underway. This Pa. DEP fact sheet provides a detailed overview of the fracturing process and the safeguards in place to ensure it's done in a way that protects our environment.Back to Government Questions Back to ZHome Questions

Do you have a TWIC card?
I have spoken with several contractors lately that have TWIC cards, and have never sent in a copy. If you don't have a copy here in office, than you are probably not set up in the computer to be offered freight that requires the card. If you have any question, contact your coordinator to make sure we have a copy. If you have not already sent us a copy, please send one of the front and backof the TWIC card, to Libby Fagan. We are seeing more and more freight requiring a TWIC card, so if you have not applied, please visit www.tsa.gov/twic.

I have had my TWIC card for over a year now and to this date I have not been asked to produce it yet—– I have showed it to Airports—Military and other govt. no-one knows what this card is used for.
Thanks Jason
One of the problems with no obvious answer is even with the TWIC , various other ports are hitting us for TWIC plus their own card w/ various expirations and fees. Just a quick question; what happened to the redundant background checks being done away with ? Hazmat vs TWIC vs "Blount Island card vs CLINK
I have used my TWIC at least two times and the main thing I do complain about is all the hassle about getting it in the first place and the fact that I am gonna have to go thru a second check for my Haz-mat, which i am only getting to help be more load ready, might as well have it all hahaha. also I was told at the ports that my Wife has to get one also so she does not get left out side on a side walk while I am inside.
Jason, You need to inform hazmat drivers that the TWIC card will expire on the same day their licences does. My card is only good for 2 1/2 years.

Alaska has 591,004 square miles of land and a population of Alaska is 710,231. (Research and Analysis, 2010)
Since Alaska is so large and also remote, with sparse population through most of the state, it has high costs for transportation of gasoline and electricity. Hydropower produces almost 1/5th of the electricity used in the state, and wind energy potential is underutilized. (Alaska, 2011)
The most utilized natural resources for fuel available in Alaska are coal, oil and natural gas. Large oil fields like Prudhoe Bay sit in the Arctic region and pump crude oil through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, up to 2.1 million barrels of crude oil per day. Alaska is the US' second largest oil producer. Although most of the natural gas is consumed within the state, Alaska hosts the only liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporting station in the country and exports this commodity mainly to Japan. (Alaska, 2011)

text: Ombudsman's action against PSNI settled 05 Sep 2014 A legal action over alleged PSNI obstruction of investigations into 60 murder cases has been settled, it was confirmed in court on Friday. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Police Ombudsman Michael Maguire had issued unprecedented judicial review proceedings against the force in an attempt to force it to hand over sensitive intelligence information.But following talks between Dr Maguire and Chief Constable George Hamilton, the files are now to be released.Counsel for the Ombudsman, Stephen McQuitty, told the High Court: "I'm pleased to say the matter has been resolved."Mr Justice Treacy agreed to withdraw the case with no order for costs between the parties.Dr Maguire launched his legal action back in June against the then Chief Constable Matt Baggott.He had been seeking the material for probes into recent and historic cases involving allegations of police criminality and misconduct by failing to properly investigate murders.Claims of collusion between some police officers and the killers feature in many.According to the Ombudsman his requests for information were turned down on more than 100 occasions.One of the cases in which the PSNI stood accused of blocking Dr Maguire's staff is the Loughinisland murders where loyalist gunmen shot dead six people as they watched the 1994 World Cup in the village bar.At a previous hearing the court was told access to material is being sought in up to 19 ongoing investigations.Lawyers for the oversight body argued that the refusal to hand over the files was irrational and in breach of a memorandum of understanding drawn up to ensure full co-operation.It was alleged that Ombudsman investigators have been turned away from PSNI buildings as part of the alleged obstruction.Now, however, the two sides appear to have reached an arrangement for the material to be handed over.Outside court, Relatives for Justice spokesman Mike Ritchie insisted legal action should never have been necessary.He said: "We hope with the new Chief Constable this is an indication of a more transparent approach, but we will continue to monitor the matter."Solicitor Paul Pierce of KRW Law, who represent some of the victims' families, claimed the previous Chief Constable had taken an "obstructive approach" to disclosing information."The families seek the truth and this has prevented them from obtaining it," he said. "It remains to be seen whether or not this difficulty will actually be resolved." © UTV Share Share Share

The fact that this is even a "story" tells you how pathetic the Browns' quarterback situation is. Garcia is 43 years old, hasn't been in the NFL since 2011 and hasn't started a game since 2008. The Browns are currently deciding whether to start Brandon Weeden or Jason Campbell in Week 8. Weeden is tentatively expected to get one more chance despite an incredibly inaccurate 17-of-42 for 149 yard performance against the Packers on Sunday.
Well at least Garcia have something that Weeden doesn't.

Out of the Comfort Zone
To every thing there is a season. When you see dancing mice, Sugar Plum fairies, a flying sleigh bed and international dolls springing to life, you know it's Nutcracker time. A venue change is afoot for Cincinnati Ballet's THE NUTCRACKER: Rather than taking place in the traditional Music Hall as it has for decades, the holiday classic moves to the ballet's usual venue, the Aronoff Center. Why the change?
Scheduling was the first factor, according to Artistic Director Victoria Morgan -- particularly competing with Cincinnati Pops Orchestra for weekend dates during the weeks before Christmas. On the plus side, she says, "It encouraged us to really get out there and find touring opportunities because The Nutcracker is pretty universal ... this production is a strong one."
This year the company took the lavish production -- complete with costumes and sets designed by Alain Vaës (who has created stage designs for New York City Ballet among other companies) and manufactured in St. Petersburg -- to Indianapolis to perform with a combined cast with Indy dancers. (Indy's own resident ballet company folded in late 2005, the result of ongoing financial strain.)
Now Cincinnati Ballet returns to the Aronoff's more intimate space for their own run of shows aimed to please all ages. Expect technically challenging choreography to astound grown-ups and imaginative sets designed by Vaës -- who's also a celebrated children's book illustrator -- to delight the young and young at heart. Plus, kids love to see kids onstage. There are 97 children in the cast, 37 of whom appear in any single performance. Caleb Schirmer, 13, and Daniel Durrett, 10, are both seasoned Nutcracker performers in their fourth year. This time they share the role of Fritz, a mischievous boy who breaks the Nutcracker doll. Durrett says of the role, "You don't like your sister. You get in trouble a lot, and nobody really likes you."
Asked if he's a troublemaker in real life, Schirmer says, "No, I'm not really, so I usually take this opportunity to be a troublemaker."
Neither seemed too fazed by the venue change, but they each cited the Aronoff's smaller dressing/holding rooms as a downside.
Ultimately, Morgan is pleased. "I think sometimes it's hard -- you get so used to our tradition and our habits and our comfort zones," she says. "We're used to Music Hall, but quite honestly I'm excited about it. I think it's gonna be a really fun place to have The Nutcracker." $21-$66.

The man in red takes a dive to the delight of children, adults and whimsy-seekers everywhere. SCUBA SANTA is back for the fifth year, making his mark as one of the city's -- and country's -- most interesting holiday traditions. Mr. Claus' wonderful winter homestead has been replaced with an aptly named "Water Wonderland," full of flying seahorses, sharks, giant turtles, scuba masks and little pink noses pressed tightly up against the aquarium glass. Scuba Santa will be floating around the Newport Aquarium 10 a.m.-6 p.m. daily until Jan. 1 with extended winter hours, 9 a.m.-7 p.m., from Dec. 26-29. He'll even be making special out-of-water appearances to visit with kids and take their Christmas lists from noon-3 p.m.
Dec. 22-24. (Buy tickets, check out hours and find nearby bars and restaurants here.) -- MAIJA ZUMMO
Somehow children still had fun when their toys didn't dress in scandalous outfits, simulate violence with tricked-out graphics or double as a cell phone. Celebrate the holidays circa a 19th- or 20th-century toy store with TOYS THROUGH TIME at the Cincinnati Museum Center. Curator David Conzett points out that toys such as building blocks and dolls are lasting. "There's still this magic with some of these pieces," Conzett says. Highlights of the exhibit include a first-edition Monopoly set, 1840s ice skates and original Star Wars toys made by Cincinnati's Kenner Toy Company. One of the most popular pieces is the miniature train. "The kids come in and they see that and run over to it. I'm not sure where that comes from, because most of them have never experienced or ridden a train," Conzett says. Model train enthusiasts and anyone who has taken a train out of the building's Amtrak terminal will appreciate HOLIDAY JUNCTION, the museum's 2000-square-foot model train layout. Watch several trains run simultaneously throughout a four-level set 48 times smaller than life. Children can take train rides through a winter wonderland and make crafts. Admission to "Toys through Time" is free and "Holiday Junction" is included in museum admission: $7.25 for adults, $5.25 for children and $6.25 for seniors. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday. Through Jan. 6. (Buy tickets, check out hours and find nearby bars and restaurants here and here.) -- SUSIE SHUTTS
A sensitive, lovely documentary that uses Paris' famous Pere-Lachais cemetery as a poetic setting for a meditation on life, death and art, Heddy Honigmann's FOREVER is the kind of film, like Rivers and Tides and Russian Ark, to develop a passionate following as people discover its beauty. Honigmann meets people who visit the cemetery's entombed residents -- Proust, Chopin, Ingres and others -- and gently explores why they care enough to visit. She makes sometimes startling and always touching connections between their need to pay respects and their own lives and interests. A soft-spoken Iranian taxi driver who visits the tomb of his nation's writer Sadegh Hedayat sings Persian Classical music. And a devotee of Proust creates a graphic novel of Remembrance of Things Past. Cincinnati World Cinema presents the film at 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday at Cincinnati Art Museum's Fath Auditorium. $9 for adults, $7 for CAM members and students with valid ID.

Comedian ISAAC WITTY was almost a broadcaster. Shortly before completing his associate's degree, he took the stage at the new comedy club in his hometown of Tulsa. He never looked back. Now living in Minneapolis, he makes audiences laugh across the country with his odd, sometimes silly observations. "Remember back in middle school the gym teacher would say, 'OK, everybody get into groups of two," he asks an audience. "Some people couldn't find a partner, so they had to settle for who was left. I think that's how I'm going to get married. 'Here's your soul-mate. Yeah, she's equally disappointed." Witty also dispenses travel advice. "If you ever go to the Middle East, don't make the mistake I did and use the maps in the back of your Bible to get around. Those are way out of date." Witty performs Thursday-Sunday at Go Bananas in Montgomery. $7-$12. $4 Thursday with College ID, Sunday for Ladies, $3 Sunday for service industry workers.

The holiday season in Greater Cincinnati offers a chance to catch up with expatriates who return to the area to share their stories of the big world to which they moved away. It's even better when they're musical ex-pats, because you might just get a concert out of their return! Former Kentuckian NOAH SUGARMAN -- a member of various local bands since he was a teenager, including Ska/Reggae band The Rudies -- moved to L.A. to pursue his musical dreams and he's off to a bang-up start. Sugarman (who also played bass in Cincy's 500 Miles to Memphis) has signed on with the Unison Music label and this year released the solo album Art of Starting a Fire. At its core, the album is soulful Pop a la Jack Johnson, Rob Thomas or Dave Matthews, but Sugarman shows his encyclopedic knowledge of popular music by dipping his toes in R&B and Bluegrass (among other seamlessly integrated styles) tastefully and skillfully. Sugarman will host a CD release party for the new album at the Southgate House this Thursday, joined by 500 Miles to Memphis and Tupelo Honey. $5. 859-431-2201. (Buy tickets, check out performance times and find nearby bars and restaurants here.) -- MIKE BREEN
Perhaps you've enjoyed the spoof musical Forever Plaid, about a retro group of harmonizers trying to come back for one last concert after a fatal bus accident. There's a very cute holiday version of the show, PLAID TIDINGS, which Cincinnati audiences flocked to see at the Cincinnati Playhouse in 2004. If you're a fan of the vocal stylings of Jinx, Smudge, Frankie and Sparky, you'll be glad to know they're back in town at Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, with a final set of performances Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and a Sunday matinee. It's lots of fun -- a three-minute-11-second version of the Ed Sullivan Show, a reincarnation of Perry Como (in a Christmas sweater), the Chipmunks, the Rockettes, the Vienna Choir Boys and even a Caribbean Christmas that puts the "Day-O" in Excelsis. $21 adults/$19 seniors and students. (Buy tickets, check out performance times and find nearby bars and restaurants here.) -- RICK PENDER
It's our accelerated culture and ADD media's fault, but it's something of an American trait to "forget" (despite faux-patriots' bumper-sticker declarations otherwise). So this holiday season as many families in the Gulf spend another Christmas away from their homes, let's not forget the horrors of Hurricane Katrina, the second-worst tragedy to hit the U.S. in the 21st century. RICKY NYE and ROBIN LACY & DEZYDECO -- two acts that, at their very core, would not exist if there were no N'awlins -- will jar your memory Friday at Covington's Madison Theater as they host "Christmas in New Orleans," a benefit concert for the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity. Soundtracked by Nye's masterful take on Boogie Woogie Blues and Lacy and Co.´s energized Zydeco-and-beyond diversity, in true New Orleans style this won't be a funeral march but a full-blown party. When asked what a "Christmas in New Orleans" concert would consist of, CityBeat's resident New Orleans expert (read: he likes to go there and drink at Mardi Gras) John Fox says, "Probably means a drunk Santa and lots of red and green beads." Good enough for us! And a great cause to boot. $8. (Get details and find nearby bars and restaurants here.) -- MIKE BREEN

November 28, 7:30 p.m.
A scam artist may have chosen the wrong target for his get rich quick scheme. He sent his Email to none other than the Leon County Sheriff's Office.
Detectives say a man calling himself "Daniel Lduke" was offering an LCSO employee a crack at $12.5 million. Detectives are planning to Email him back and see how far it'll go.
"Perhaps not to find out exactly who sent it, but more importantly, I think it gives us an opportunity to identify the accounts that they are counterfeiting and perhaps notify those businesses up front," said Detective Rob Waller with LCSO's Financial Crimes Unit.
Deputies say this appears to be a typical Nigerian phishing scam. Waller says if the culprits can get just a few people to respond to their mass Emails, they can make good money.
We'll let you know what "Mr. Lduke" does next.

06/15/2008, Deaton Yachts in Oriental
We have been in Oriental, NC for two weeks. We're still working on installing the Hydrovane, the wind turbine, and the solar system, among other various and sundry projects (bottom paint, dingy repair...) Granted it is taking longer than expected, but in return we are getting the opportunity to work as a team in challenging conditions. I'm learning a lot about the boat and getting into parts of it that I wouldn't have explored. I am also learning a lot about how to use tools and build stuff on a boat. I have learned, without question, that I am profoundly more able-handed at litigating than I am working a bolt that requires nuts turned in different directions. Sometimes I can't even get a wrench into an odd position and Matt has to turn his nut and mine. The same is true for threading bolts with washers and nuts. I have yet to master a technique for doing this with one hand on a bolt that comes down from the top. It is frustrating to have to ask Matt to thread my bolts and washers. Making things worse is the heat. Even on nicer days, it is hot in the middle of the day. Today we were about to drill a hole to install one of the Hydrovane brackets at around 2:00 p.m. and it was so hot, neither of us could think straight. We just dropped the tools and went home to rest and cool off. The little Yamaha Zuma 50 2 stroke scooter has been a MVP of the trip thus far. We have used it quite a bit, at least several times each day. And the Rebounder, with practically all the comforts of home. I think Jake and Anne are as happy or happier here than back in Tucson. They love the grass in front of the RV and the morning walks. The gear install should be finished within the week, then maybe another week more or less on my own doing finishing touches, then the cruising begins.
06/14/2008, Oriental, NC
We are up early at 5:10 a.m. today. That is because we go to sleep early. That is because we work hard in the hot and humid conditions all day, day after day after day. It is also much more comfortable outside in the early mornings and late afternoons. We work in the mornings and use the late afternoons for other things, like having a beer and making and eating dinner. Anyway, every Hydrovane owner has to run the gauntlet of fabricating and installing the timber pads (Matt calls them plinth blocks) before you can get beyond installation of the bottom bracket. Timber pads pick up the space between the straight Hydrovane bracket and Tropical Dreamer's curved deck. I won't bore you with the entire process of fabrication (all at once), but the pads you see in the picture are used to obtain a mold of the actual pad, which has yet to be created. If you are lucky, you will be reading this posting many days from now and you can see the final timber pads without having to hear me complain about crawling into "the hole," as we call the place I go several times a day to work the back side of the bottom bracket of the Hydrovane. Its time to take the dogs for a walk in beautiful Oriental, NC.
06/13/2008, Oriental, NC
The law office came to rest in early May. It is now mid-June. It has been over three weeks since we pulled away from the boulder canyon house in Tucson. I drove with the dogs across the country in the motor home. I picked up Matt two weeks ago in Atlanta and drove with him the rest of the way to Oriental, NC. We will have been in Oriental two weeks in a few days. How time flies. The refit is taking longer than expected, which is not unexpected in the world of sailing. I used to envy folks working on their sailboats in the yards for weeks or months at a time. What a simple life, I thought. And it is simple. But ultimately the cruising is the objective and there is the constant desire for the refit to be over so the cruise may begin. The refit takes time. Many who came before me experienced much, much longer purgatory working in the yard to get their boat ready to sail. I am determined to get the boat in the water by the end of the month, if not sooner. I can see there will be plenty to do on the boat in terms of maintenance, but most of that can be done from the water. So its off to work on the boat tomorrow and the day after and the day after until the refit is done.
06/12/2008, Oriental, NC
Some sort of forest fire was going on close enough to us to bring smoke all throughout the area. What I thought was a mist bringing rain to Oriental was actually smoke from the forest fires. The smoke got worse as we approached New Bern farther inland.
Them there are the cuts I got from working on the sailboat thus far.
06/12/2008, Back In Oriental, NC
Today the project was traveling to and from New Bern in the motor home. It is 29 miles from Oriental. I got prescriptions filled, we picked up some things at the hardware store, we parked outside the theater for awhile attempting to fix my internet and talking to Will at Hydrovane. We picked up other and sundry supplies in the "big city." Frankly, it was a nice break from the monotonously calm bliss of Oriental. On the way back we stopped and picked up 20 feet of 316 stainless steel tube which we will use to reinforce the bimini so that it will handle the solar panels and become like a hybrid arch. Since we have been driving a scooter and everyone knows everyone in town, the lady asked us how we were going to get the tubing home. I pointed across the street to the 34 foot Rebounder, the perfect vehicle to transport such a long span of tubing. And that we did, to Deaton Yachts, where Tropical Dreamer is located. Unexpectedly, they determined to move the vessel to a new location after 7 months to make room for a big powerboat. We watched as they picked her up with the travelift and moved her to a corner of the yard, perfect, as the foreman said, for the motor home to cozy up into. So on we go.

I had to buy wire. Wire is expensive. West Marine wanted well over $600 for the wire I needed. Matt found it on the internet for 1/4 that. 12 volt wind turbines produce a lot of power when the wind is big. That power requires a large gauge wire to pass through to charge the battery. Wire is made of copper. Copper is expensive these days. Lugging the box with the spools of wire from the parts department at Deaton to the boat was a struggle. I used the scooter for part of the way. It won't be long before you see pictures of wire being strung. Until then, we are moving forward slowly but surely.
06/11/2008, The Most Difficult Place to Get To In Tropical Dreamer
In order to get to this spot, I had to go below deck into the rear cabin, I had to crawl into the back of the back cabin, I had to unscrew a hatch in the rear, crawl through that hatch, across the open area at the back of the boat, into literally the farthest corner of the sailboat. Once wedged in there, my job was to screw in the bolts that hold the base of the Hydrovane. It was the hardest job I've done physically and mentally since before I became a lawyer and everything I've done here so far prepared me to run that gauntlet. So that smile you see is in reality me thinking "get me the *** out of this hole." In fact, you can just about see me thinking, take the *** picture already and get down there and do what you need to do to the screws so I can get out of here.

Watch This Sheep Teach A Bull How To Headbutt
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
The best way to learn how to do something is through hands on experience. In fact, as little kids, we spend very high percentages of our time observing, trying and being taught the finer points of communicating, playing sports, eating with manners, singing and a host of other things. In the animal kingdom, its the same way too. Take the above video as an example.
Released almost two years ago by MrLive123456, the adorable footage only started trending recently, but now that people are aware of its existence, its getting shared quite a bit. It features a sheep patiently teaching a young bull how to headbutt. For whatever reason, the bull doesnt seem to understand the concept, but luckily, his teacher is extremely patient and goes over the fundamentals over and over again.
Is there anything people like watching on the Internet more than animals behaving adorably? Whether its a cat experiencing snow for the first time or a lion and a dog being best friends or a sea lion showing concern for a little girl who just fell, if its cute and involves animals, theres an audience out there. Its just a matter of the clip getting exposed to enough people so it can start being forwarded and shared.
If youre looking to grab a few more smiles and blow off work for a few more minutes, you can check out the video Ive embedded below too. It features a dog driving a car. Not a go kart. Not a four wheeler. A full blown car. Check it out

Fibromyalgia Symptoms
There are many
Fibromyalgia Symptoms
are similar to other illnesses. This syndrome is not contagious, but is known for the fatigue and widespread pain. Fibromyalgia affects between 3% and 6% of the population. The disease is more frequent among women that are between 20 to 50 years old and its prevalence has been estimated between 0.7 and 13% for women and between 0.2 and 3.9% for men.
The term fibromyalgia was coined in 1976 and comes from the Latin fiber (fiber), the Greek myo (muscle) and algia (pain). The word is related because the pain in the muscles and tissues that connect bones, ligaments and tendons. Prior to 1976 the illness was often misdiagnosed since the term had not existed.
It is not known with certainty of causes, some researchers speculate that many diverse factors which alone or in combination, can cause fibromyalgia. Others believe that sleep disorders can be a cause of fibromyalgia, however this theory is not yet proven, but it is noteworthy that if sleep disorders may exacerbate fibromyalgia symptoms.
Another hypothesis suggests instead that the disease may be associated with changes in skeletal muscle metabolism, possibly caused by decreased blood flow, which could cause chronic fatigue and weakness.
Some theories point to genetic predisposition, with emphasis on research on the COMT gene and genes related to serotonin and substance P.
One hypothesis is strongly supported by the scientific community suggests that fibromyalgia is caused by a defect interpretation of central nervous system perceives abnormal signals for pain.
This condition is considered an integral model, a disease of psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrine systems. Because their causes remain unknown, there is currently no way to prevent it.
- The main fibromyalgia symptoms are muscle pain that occurs throughout the body, although it may start in a region thereof, such as the neck and shoulders, then spread to other areas after a certain time.
- Numbness of hands and feet.
- About 90 percent of people with fibromyalgia experience moderate or severe fatigue, less resistant to stress, exhaustion typically present themselves from the flu. Sometimes fatigue is more problematic than the pain.
- Sleep disorders are: Most people with fibromyalgia experience this condition and although they may fall asleep without much difficulty, it is usually very light and wake up frequently during the night. Often, these people get up feeling tired even after sleeping all night.
- Mood swings: When you have fibromyalgia, changes in mood are common. Many people feel sad or listless, may also feel anxious.
- Difficulty concentrating: People with fibromyalgia it is very difficult to perform simple mental tasks. There is no evidence to prove that these problems are compounded over time, simply show up and disappear.
- Headaches, especially muscular (tension) and migraine headaches are common symptoms of fibromyalgia.
- Abdominal pain.
- Changes occur most commonly between constipation and diarrhea (called irritable bowel syndrome).
- Spasms and irritability of the bladder, causing urinary frequency or urgency.
- Increased sensitivity to touch, burning widespread.
- Dry eyes and mouth.
- Buzzing and ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
- Visual disturbances (phosphenes).
- Are some neurological symptoms motor coordination.
There are many fibromyalgia symptoms that are similar to other illnesses so it is important to have a proper diagnosis. Although there is no cure, there are ways to help with the all of the symptoms associated with fibromyalgia.

The Paraprofessional Forum of the Virginia Library Association held its seventh annual two-day conference on May 17-18, 1999, at the University of Richmond. Four hundred and twenty-five library personnel from 10 states and the District of Columbia attended the conference that centered on the theme, Mastering the Challenges of the 21st Century. The conference offered three keynote speakers, twenty-four sessions, and seven roundtables. A picnic was an option for those arriving on Sunday evening. The picnic's Hawaiian theme was a popular one, and the door prizes with a tropical flare were crowd pleasers. The Monday evening social was another time for people to get together and enjoy themselves. Ronnie Gilder from Richmond was the D. J. for the event, and his smooth style and musical selections resulted in a fun-filled evening.
The conference opened with words of welcome from the VLAPF Co-chairs, Suzanne Leacy and Don Socia, and two special guests. James R. Rettig, Director of the Boatwright Library at the University of Richmond, and Carolyn Barkley, VLA Vice President/President Elect both offered greetings to conference attendees.
We were fortunate to have Dr. Dale Henry as the keynote speaker on Monday morning. Dr. Henry is President of Your Best Unlimited, a company based in Knoxville, Tennessee, and it is his business to train professionals and executives to be the very best they can be. He challenged conference attendees to evaluate themselves with his speech, Do You Sizzle or Fizzle? He presented sound advice on how to succeed in the workplace. His presentation was filled with words such as prioritize, individualize, energize, and phrases such as discover your gifts, take aim, hit the target, and become the prize. Dr. Henry not only presented a message that inspired attendees to excel, but a message that made everyone laugh, as well.
Harriett Edmunds, Special Events and Volunteer Programs Coordinator at The Library of Virginia, was the Tuesday morning keynote speaker. Once again, the audience was privileged enough to hear a speaker whose words were truly motivational. She took the Conference theme, Mastering the Challenges of the 21st Century, and shared some wonderful words of advice on how to do just that. She focused on how we can turn challenges into opportunities, and in so doing enhance our lives. She offered some suggestions on how to become successful in the workplace.Ms. Edumunds presented a message that encouraged us to return to the workplace excited about the new challenges that face us each day and about those that we know will come our way during the 21st Century.Lydia C. Williams

Ms. Waddill provided each attendee with a packet filled with great books to read including patterns for cutouts. Ms. Waddill's enthusiastic presentation was packed with useful information.Caressa Talley
Lew Belfont of Gaithersburg Regional Library in Maryland presented Values Based Circulation System. She believes in creating a service philosophy that will allow your customers to become your partners. She believes if you let the patron know that you need their help to do well, and they, in turn know they need your help to do well, you will satisfy your customer's needs and be successful. Belfont stated that we should know our institution's goals and become familiar with its policy, and know how to execute the policy. The goal of values based service is to create and employ a fully developed service philosophy that states that each customer is unique and that the employee's relationship with each customer should be characterized by trust and respect.Joan Taylor

Ms. Phillips offered many helpful ideas for managing our time in order to make it possible for each of us to achieve a healthy balance in our lives.Lydia C. Williams
Dr. Frank Howe of Longwood College presented Taming the Troublesome Patron. Dr. Howe reminded us that we serve the public -- ALL the public. Some of our patrons may make us uneasy by their behavior. A patron may present special concerns because of mental illness, an altered state, or strange behavior that creates a potentially threatening situation. Dr. Howe emphasized that each agency should have a safety plan and that each employee should be familiar with the plan before danger occurs. He stated that each employee should have training in following their institution's safety guidelines. In addition, the employee should maintain a professional attitude and commitment to continued growth, develop good listening skills including reading non-verbal communication, and maintain a positive communication style. One should understand the differences in learning skills, previous knowledge, interests, and the need for recognition or anonymity of the patron. One should learn to disengage courteously but firmly when dealing with the aggressive patron. Dr. Howe gave helpful examples to maintain personal safety when dealing with the troublesome or aggressive patron.Ruth Turner
Retiree of Fairfax County Public Library
Deborah Hocutt, Executive Director of the Virginia Center for the Book, gave a wonderful presentation on Virginia authors and the Center for the Book.

Ms. Hocutt stated that The Center sponsors numerous events around Virginia to promote books and reading, including the Charlottesville Festival for the Book. This year's festival will focus on poetry. The Center for the Book will help any library find an appropriate author to speak to their patrons. They have numerous free handouts and materials for use in libraries. The center is working on a project entitled Virginia Reads that will result in posters of Virginia celebrities posing with their favorite books. The information provided by Ms. Hocutt was both interesting and useful.Sue McFaden
Fairfax County Public Library
Carolyn Barkley, Central Librarian at the Virginia Beach Public Library and an active member of many genealogical associations, gave an enthusiastic talk on Serving the Genealogist in the Library.

It was a lively session with many questions and answers. Ms. Barkley distributed some excellent handouts about genealogy and examples of print and online services.E. A. Mayo
Eggleston Library Hampden Sydney College
Kelly McBride, Assistant Director for Public Services at Clinch Valley College, and Matthew Peltier, a student in the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, made presentations about their visits to libraries in the Republic of Ireland and in Ghana, West Africa, respectively. They both found many similarities between libraries in the United States and those they visited abroad, but also found the cultures of the countries impacted on the libraries. Their travelogues and their varied experiences made us all want to visit foreign libraries.E. A. Mayo
The conference ended with several special events including an elegant buffet luncheon and the scholarship raffle. The highlight of the afternoon was the keynote speaker, Connie Elliott. Ms. Elliott is the Director of Tourism for Anderson County, Tennessee. As a Certified Meeting Professional, Ms. Elliott is President of Ideal Events, which provides the finest speakers and meeting management services. Her motto is "If it ain't fun, I'm not interested!" and her motto rang true as she addressed the group. She used humorous and heart-warming stories to get her message across, and that message is for each of us to get excited about self-improvement. She encouraged us to be persistent and to work diligently at making our dreams come true. Ms. Elliott made the audience laugh, and she made a few of us cry as she closed out the conference with her challenge to each of us to go out and master the challenges of the 21st Century.
The Paraprofessional Forum presented two special awards during this year's conference. Nancy P. Bell, who has worked at the Longwood College Library for 30 years, received the VLAPF Award. The award provided Ms. Bell with the opportunity of attending the conference by providing funds that paid all conference expenses. She received a special framed commemorative certificate during the Monday opening session. Patricia White, who works at the Annandale Campus Library of the Northern Virginia Community College, was awarded the Outstanding Paraprofessional of the Year Award. She was recognized during the Tuesday opening session, and was awarded a special plaque in honor of her accomplishments in the library field.
Unique prizes on display at the registration desk sparked an interest in the VLAPF scholarship raffle. Raymond Edwards of the Montgomery County Public Library was the winner of the framed P. Buckley Moss print entitled The Barter Theatre. The print was donated by the P. Buckley Moss Society of Staunton, Virginia, and was framed compliments of Christopher's Fine Arts and Framing of Farmville, Virginia. Arlene Randolph of the Richmond Public Library won the CD/tape player and six popular CDs donated by the WAL-MART Supercenter of Farmville, Virginia. Other lucky winners left with a Winnie the Pooh hat box filled with Pooh-related surprises, a cooking basket filled with baking items, a window box filled with gardening items, a basket shaped like Virginia filled with made-in-Virginia products, and one of several Beanie Baby baskets. Alex Matthews donated a collection of her signed first editions to be given as a raffle prize. This variety of outstanding prizes resulted in a very successful raffle.
The 2000 conference theme is Reaching for the Stars: Success, Recognition, Professionalism. Mark your calendar for May 22-23, and make plans to join us at the University of Richmond for the VLA Paraprofessional Forum's eighth annual two-day conference.Lydia C. Williams

Now before everyone starts calling me crazy keep in mind that I do know what goes into doing a tour (I biked from Portland Oregon to Los Angeles and back). Now the reason im thinking about a "beach cruiser" is because A) the style, you just got to love the look. B) the ride, on my last tour my back was killing me most of the time because of bending over so much and with you basically sitting up-right most of the time I figure it wouldn't hurt as much.
Now for my question, what would it take to modify a beach cruiser for a long distance trip like this? Any idea are welcomed but please remember, im all about simple but effective.

text: [history at end] I have (just) set up COMSOCKS 3.08 and can telnet from a local client (Solaris 2.6 IPX) to a Sun workstation at work. FTP OK also. So those fixed ports work OK However, with rlogin, there is some other gotcha leading to "rlogind: Permission denied" presumably this is due to cross checks between the Suns user authorisation. Maybe it does some fancy things with ports. I did RTFman page and there are allegedly port range checks but I don't know if I fall foul of those. Any suggestions ? thanks, Mark p.s. (i) I'll also appreciate any clues telling me if COMSOCKS by default is supposed to run a DNS service based upon the NT4 hosts file and what I need to do for it to refer unknown references upwards to DNS servers at work (ii) likewise, will I *HAVE* to use vncserver on home Suns and Exceed X-windows on PC to ensure that there are unique ports (6001,6002 etc) for X-displays to my home network from systems at work. ...and then a local vncviewer to see them I suppose. [history] Slowly I am learning how to get my home network configured for all my various uses including X-windows and VNC. I made some headway under ICS but was hit by the fact I need to have IPsec traffic and as soon as I installed SecuRemote my network was rendered useless. This mail-list pointed me at COMSOCKS. I Jumped in feet first with "COMTUN" version 4 beta and that installed but had startup hurdles I couldn't overcome.

With new data showing a new baby boom, commentators have come back to the difficult questions facing the original baby boomers. When are you going to retire? Are you going to retire? Today, there is a focus like never before on what it means to grow into older age.
If you're in your 40s and 50s now, chances are that you'll have a close relative to look after more closely, or at least be aware of their deteriorating health and circumstances. If you're still thinking that old age is simply a line you'll cross when, say, you pass 70, think again. The ostrich mentality has gone. You can't simply leave it till later.
There are some effective ways for engaging and communicating with people as they grow into the stages of later life - each one a rite of passage and a personal responsibility.
1. Take a new look at old age. That's our motto. It's about a positive attitude. Life is not over. Stay interested. It's more important than being interesting. We've got to challenge our own attitudes and assumptions to living (and working and learning) in later life.
2. Forget the numbers game. This is no time to think about sitting back and taking it easy, 'before it all falls apart'. More and more people want to and will have to remain economically active. The future of our later lives is about considering opportunities and challenges. The fuzzy lines between generations are disappearing. Age is no boundary for people who remain healthy.
3. Reinvent the future. Ultimately, later life, post 59, 69 or even 79, will be best lived in the spirit of reinvention. We might want to start thinking about that today.
4. Stay connected. Whatever it takes. If you can, give of your time. Volunteer, support others. Keep learning. At the very least, take notice of the world around you and keep active.
5. Celebrate ageing. We don't mean 80 candles on your birthday cake - we mean honouring the fact that you, and others, are growing older day by day. It means talking about it, making the most of it, helping people to see that it isn't all doom, gloom and decrepitude. It all sounds very un-British, but life here is changing for everyone and that includes attitudes.
If we stick to the thinking that old age is a fatal disease we must ignore till it happens, then our society is doomed. True, many old people are vulnerable and needy. We are all victims of an unstoppable development called ageing. Yet there's no doubt that age beliefs can influence the ageing process, and individuals can influence their age beliefs.
When older individuals realise that they have this control, it becomes more likely they will engage in good health practices that will enhance their lives.
Also on HuffPost:
The actress told Huff/Post50 that with age has come more clarity and focus -- attributes she said she didn't necessarily have in her 20s and 30s. "I think it gets more difficult as you get older because you're facing the end and endings are ... unbearable. Our lives are basically about facing that tragedy. And I think the sooner we face that we're going to die, the easier it is to appreciate the moments in life... When we realize that our lives will end, we take less for granted. That is what I've learned from loss. The whole thing is a fantastic mystery so all we can do is appreciate each moment."
When it comes to aging and beauty, Sarandon takes an admirable "to-each-their-own" mentality, telling The Independent she would never weigh-in on what people do to make themselves happy. Her best advice? Sarandon has said: "The only thing I'd say is that learning how to forgive yourself for not being perfect is probably a really positive step."
The legendary crooner has a straightforward, make-no-apologies take on age. "That number doesn't mean a thing," she told Oprah in 2008. "It just doesn't."
"I think you have to enjoy getting older. That's the most important factor. If you sit around and think, 'Well, at 21, I was doing this,' or 'at 31' -- or what have you ..." Eastwood told CBS news back in 1997. "A lot of people maybe do their best work when they're 40 and then tail off. But I think that's a mental attitude. I've done my best work, I think, now," he said.
Modesty and a healthy dose of humor are keys to Mirren aging so gracefully. When a gym recently gave her Body of the Year, she told the women of The View that she just sucked in her stomach. "It was a beautiful thing that these fitness people did, I have to say," she said. "I think it was recognition of the fact that you don't have to be perfect."
The cancer survivor told Health.com that she is enjoying the aging process: "I definitely am embracing aging. When you shoot your face with Botox and stuff, you rob yourself of your ability to have youthful expressions, and that's why sometimes people look a lot older."
In addition to maintaining a healthy love life with his wife Trudie Styler, the musician throws himself into yoga and embraces a positive outlook on life, telling USA Today: "When you reach a certain age, you realize that life is finite. You can be depressed by that, or you can say, 'I'm going to appreciate every minute to its maximum potential.'"
"I consider 50 to be young. People are living so much longer, and besides, I don't think I look 50. I take really great care of myself," the actress told BlackBook magazine. Which is not to say Cattrall's afraid of her wrinkles. According to BlackBook,when the actress was asked if she wanted to have some photos heavily retouched she said, "F*** it. Leave it all in."
When it comes to aging well, the stunning supermodel embraces kindness in its many forms. "For me, skin care rituals are a form of meditation -- they keep me balanced. I am kind to my skin. I remove my makeup as soon as I get home and I apply moisturizer," she told O, The Oprah Magazine. "But just as important as being kind to my skin is being kind to younger women," she continued. "Kindness is a lovely quality to nurture as you get older. It makes you feel good about yourself."
Often known as the great actress, Streep has embraced her age -- and recently being a rom-com leading lady -- with admirable glee. "I'm 60, and I'm playing the romantic lead! Bette Davis is rolling over in her grave!" she joked with Vanity Fair in 2009.
Julianne Moore is a natural beauty, and plans to remain one. When asked about Botox, Moore told Allure magazine that she, herself, is not a fan. "I hate to condemn people for doing it, but I don't believe it makes people look better. I think it just makes them look like they had something done to their face," she told the magazine. "When you look at somebody who's had their face altered in some way, it just looks weird."
The actor has been refreshingly candid about both his accomplishments and his struggles as he ages. When Reader's Digest asked him what one thing he'd change about himself, he answered: "My weight! Mind, body and spirit. It's a discipline, and the body has been lagging. Mind's really good right now. Spirit is strong, but body's been lagging. And the body helps the mind. I feel better today having worked out."
Pfeiffer is measured, but honest about how growing older makes her feel. "Honestly, there's certainly a mourning that takes place," told the Los Angeles Times in 2009. "I mourn the young girl, but I think that what replaces that is a kind of a liberation, sort of letting go of having to hold on to that. Everyone knows you're 50. So you don't have to worry about not trying to look 50."
"This great fear of laugh lines and wrinkles and getting old is really unnatural. It happens to the best of us -- what are we going to do? It's a matter of whether you want to go to war with that and have surgery," the actress told iVillage UK. "Ultimately it's a slippery slope. I think you wind up looking like a thing rather than a younger version of yourself. I think you have to make peace with what you have and keep it all in order," she continued.
After being dropped as James Bond because, according to some reports, he was "too old" for the role, the actor had a positive take on things -- embracing the unknown with gusto. "Oh, it turned out very lucky," he told Parade. "Within the space of the punch and the pain of being passed over or rejected or the bottom of your world falling out, within that same breath came this liberation of, 'I'm free. I can do anything I want.' It's up to me to have the guts to make the next stage of my career as interesting and as exciting and unexpected as possible."
"Actors' faces have to move," Weaver once told ABC, weighing in on cosmetic surgery. "It's a personal choice. It depends on what you want. Yes, we probably want to see perfect people, too, but we also want to see people who look like us. It's just about skin care to me and maybe exercise." And her laugh lines? "I've earned them," Weaver said.
AARP magazine put The Boss on its cover when he turned 60 a few years back, because the editors believed he exemplified aging well. "He's one of these crop of 50-plus and 60-plus celebrities who are busier than ever in their older years and doing some of their best work," editor Nancy Perry Graham told The New York Times. "The message with Bruce Springsteen is that 60 rocks."
According to The Telegraph, the beauty loves her changing beauty, believing it reflects a rich life. "Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life," she said. "They are what we have been through and who we want to be."
The British actress has said that she, personally, is all about aging naturally. "I'm not fiddling about with myself," she told The Telegraph. "We're in this awful youth-driven thing now where everybody needs to look 30 at 60."
The actress has been open about embracing her age-related changes, famously posing for a magazine shoot sans clothes and sans Photoshop. But she's equally candid about how building self-confidence is a gradual process -- one that's gotten easier as she has aged. "I feel much more authentic," she once told More magazine. "I'm not saying I'm a spiritually perfect person. I'm flawed and contradictory and fraught in many areas. But I'm better. I'm growing, and that's all I really want.
"In interviews, the first question I get in America is always: 'What do you do to stay young?'" Rossellini told O, The Oprah Magazine. "I do nothing. I don't think aging is a problem ... I'm so surprised that the emphasis on aging here is on physical decay, when aging brings such incredible freedom. Now what I want most is laughs. I don't want to hurt anybody by laughing -- there is no meanness to it. I just want to laugh."
Lane told Glamour magazine that aging has given her welcome perspective. "I wouldn't go back to being 20. Because here's the thing ... there is something wonderful about coming to terms with time -- that it is finite," she said. "You want to have as much joy in your life as possible, and you take responsibility for your own joy."
"I do yoga every morning, then I run for half an hour and take a sauna," the actor told AARP magazine of his healthy-aging routine. "And I eat properly. I drink a lot of white tea -- it's a very powerful antioxidant.
Though people look to her as one of the top models of aging well, the actress said she's never given it much thought. "I never thought about age much," Betty told AARP magazine. "I learned that at my mother's knee. Age was not important. It was where your head was."
The writer-director of The Kids Are All Right said she cast Bening in part because she wanted someone who was real and who would not shy away from showing her age on screen. "We never had a wrinkle conversation," she told The Wrap. "I just said, 'I want the make-up to be super-modest,' and that was the end of it."

With the important Roman towns of Gloucester and Cirencester nearby, this area was rich in Roman occupation and it would have been quite usual to find villas such as Chedworth within close proximity. Chedworth Roman Villa was first discovered in 1864 by a local gamekeeper, whilst digging for his lost ferret, and was subsequently excavated over a two year period by Mr James Farrer. At that time the estate was owned by the Earl of Eldon, and it was he who financed the excavation works, the roofing of the mosaics, and the building of a museum. In 1924 the Chedworth Roman Villa site was acquired by the National Trust.
Originally consisting of three separate ranges (south, west and north), the Villa appears to have been reasonably well established by AD150. All three ranges have been excavated, with the exception of the eastern half of the southern range. The buildings dating from this period seem to have been plain and functional, with no evidence of the grandeur apparent in the later additions, and the main accommodation was concentrated in the west range. One noticeable difference between Chedworth Roman Villa at this time, and other villas of similar age, is its quite considerable size. Later in the second century a fire caused serious damage to the south and west ranges, but repairs appear to have been carried out immediately. At the same time as rebuilding was in progress, other improvements were made at Chedworth Roman Villa including the addition of several rooms in the north range, and an extension to the bath complex at its western end.
During the fourth century major changes were made to the building, resulting in the villa's far more grand appearance. In the early part of the century the 'Garden Court' was created by extending the south and west ranges with additional rooms, effectively joining them at right angles. Around the inner perimeter of the three existing ranges open verandahs were added, and a fourth was constructed midway along the south and north ranges to complete the enclosed quadrangle. These verandahs may also have facilitated the need for an upper 'clerestory', involving the insertion of a series of large windows immediately above the verandah's pitched roof to allow additional light into the existing rooms. Also at this time the existing bath house in the northern range was partly converted to a sauna, or dry heat baths, and a new 'Turkish' (or damp heat) bath was constructed at the northern end of the west range. Building work eventually came to an end late in the fourth century after a large dining suite had been added at the eastern end of the north wing. With the completion of these works, Chedworth Roman Villa had been transformed into a luxurious house with a substantial bath complex at the north-west corner of the site.
Many artefacts recovered from Chedworth Roman Villa are displayed in the museum built by the Earl of Eldon, which is located along the perimeter of the eastern verandah. But Chedworth's real delight for the modern visitor are the beautiful mosaics, the best of which survives in the dining-room near the intersection of the west and south ranges. Some 11 rooms are known to have contained mosaics of varying quality and style, although little has been established about six of these. The other five remain in situ, now covered by protective shelters.

30-Day Weight Loss Challenge
10 Easy Ways to Slash Sugar from Your Diet
Think protein and fat
Unhealthy carbs loaded with sugar can cause blood sugar to rise rapidly (and dive just as quickly, leaving you hungry again). To minimize this rapid rise and fall, pair protein, healthy fats, and fiber with your meal, all of which can slow down the release of blood sugar in your body and keep you full for longer. (At breakfast, that means adding almonds to your usual oatmeal or pairing eggs with your morning toast, and for your midday snack, a slice of turkey breast or cheese along with your apple, suggests Thomsen.) Fats are a key player because they help keep you fuller for longer, thus helping to decrease your desire for sugar, adds Sanfilippo. Focus on fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and heart-healthy oils like olive oil, walnut oil, and coconut oil.

How cars are changing to meet the needs of the mobile generation
By Brandon Gorrell and Stephanie Georgopulos
We all love shiny new things, but it's nice when something new begins to feel like it's your own. Today's drivers want that broken-in feeling quicker than ever. They want their preferences accessible at the click of a button. They want to connect with their friends. ("Connectivity is the new horsepower," according to an article in The New York Times.) And they want a vehicle that's designed with the environment in mind.
The 2014 Chevrolet Volt's highly customizable eco-conscious driving experience is sure to get these technophiles amped. Not only is it electric when you want it, gas when you need it—but you also have a choice of four driving modes: Normal mode enables your Volt to drive like a conventional car, only more efficiently. Sport mode gives you more aggressive feedback and heightened response. Mountain mode maintains a power reserve for climbing long, steep grades. Hold mode allows you to hold your battery charge in reserve, which is ideal if you start your route on the highway and want to save your charge for when you hit stop-and-go city traffic.
On top of all this, Chevrolet offers Autonet Mobile Wi-Fi, a dealer-installed accessory that keeps you wired when you're on the road. Whether you're a driver who needs to pull over and answer a pressing work email or a passenger who wants to catch up on her Netflix queue, unlimited Wi-Fi access is something no driver wants to—or has to—leave home without.
But connectivity doesn't stop there. Chevrolet MyLink* allows drivers to access their Pandora channels or create a playlist of their favorite podcasts with Stitcher SmartRadio. If your ear candy comes from another source, MyLink also streams music from most smartphones, putting an even more personal touch on drivers' journeys.
With a battery that will get you up to 38 gas-free EPA-estimated miles when fully charged, the Volt is definitely looking out for Planet Earth.
And looking out for its driver as well: OnStar RemoteLink**, a mobile app that shows the battery level and charge mode of your Volt—120V or 240V—right on your smartphone, can also remotely verify that your Volt is plugged in, schedule a future charging time and receive charge alerts. The Volt Driver Challenge app helps you reach personal goals by tracking efficiency and challenging you to beat those goals. It also links like-minded drivers, encouraging playful competition.
Apps like these provide a way to have it all, fusing ecological standards with customization, connectivity and good ol' fashioned fun—an element of driving that never gets old.

*MyLink functionality varies by model. Full functionality requires compatible Bluetooth and smartphone, and USB connectivity for some devices. MyLink on Spark and Sonic does not include functionality such as enhanced voice recognition, Gracenote and CD player.
**Download it now from the App Store or Google Play. To further connect your Volt through OnStar®, go to MyVolt.com. Requires Android, iPhone or certain Blackberry platforms and active OnStar subscription.

Stephen Colbert lost his beloved mother Lorna last week and the pain of it is still obviously palpable, but Colbert has done something remarkable with his loss, he created a tribute to her that not only acknowledges the emotional upheaval of losing a parent when you're in the public eye, but also honors his mom in a way that is loving, funny and incredibly moving.
But be prepared, it is very tearful and honest and supremely raw- you're going to need some tissues.
And afterward, call your mom...'cause you're gonna need to.

So what is Steven Spielberg going to direct next? That's a question even he probably doesn't quite know the answer to yet, not that he isn't giving himself options. "Robopocalypse," which was supposed to be his next project, is on hold while he's also got "Montezuma" and a possible "West Side Story" remake to consider, and now he's throwing another on the pile.
The Weinstein Company and DreamWorks have teamed up, nabbing the rights to David Kertzer's book "The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara," slating Tony Kushner ("Lincoln," "Munich") to write the screenplay, for Spielberg to possibly direct. Not a bad way to start, and the material is pretty compelling. It tells the story of a young Jewish boy, who in 1858, is snatched by the authorities from his home, winds up being raised Catholic and becomes a priest. Here's the full blown book synopsis from Amazon:
Bologna: nightfall, June 1858. A knock sounds at the door of the Jewish merchant Momolo Mortara. Two officers of the Inquisition bust inside and seize Mortara's six-year-old son, Edgardo. As the boy is wrenched from his father's arms, his mother collapses. The reason for his abduction: the boy had been secretly "baptized" by a family servant. According to papal law, the child is therefore a Catholic who can be taken from his family and delivered to a special monastery where his conversion will be completed.
With this terrifying scene, prize-winning historian David I. Kertzer begins the true story of how one boy's kidnapping became a pivotal event in the collapse of the Vatican as a secular power. The book evokes the anguish of a modest merchant's family, the rhythms of daily life in a Jewish ghetto, and also explores, through the revolutionary campaigns of Mazzini and Garibaldi and such personages as Napoleon III, the emergence of Italy as a modern national state. Moving and informative, the Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara reads as both a historical thriller and an authoritative analysis of how a single human tragedy changed the course of history.
Sounds like it has great potential, and Kushner is familiar with it, having been tapped to adapt the story in 2008, before bouncing to do "Lincoln" instead. This isn't expected to be Spielberg's next project, it's one to keep an eye on his other options rise and fall through the development process. [THR]
