Good Morning Opera Tweeters
Here are the tweets as they have unfolded. Summary to follow in a moment.
We've have failed in our attempt to ensnare Bill/who is it now we shall maim and kill/we do not know but it shall be a thrill
The cats burts into a duet as William escapes, the melody mimicking William`s flight as they lament the loss of their prey
'Helga!' the stern nun summons her to the courtyard. 'I hear you're here to get away from love.' Day dreams, 'I loved once too..'
I loved him more than he me, he went away far away, away across the seas, so I came to this nunnery..'
Helga: 'why didn't you go after him?' Stern Nun: 'it was a fight against the birds - I swam as far as I could, but..'
'..but I was not strong enough. I came here and mourned my loss. You mustn't waste your life like I haaave..'
Helga: 'So Corbin the King of the Birds is not to be trusted?' Stern Nun: 'I will leave that for you to decide'..
Stern Nun leaves Helga in the courtyard, as she contemplates and hums a woeful song :-D
Helga "I shall await the arrival of a lederhosen lover which may prove difficult in this Bolivian nunnery (sigh)"
Sister Mary Magpie explains that Helga can continue her biochemical work from the nunnery only if she agrees to...
..to work alongside their very special guest ...
Good morrow good Helga, good Helga good morrow!
To our nunnery-laboratory you are welcome. I am Mother Superior and Chief Technician, and my name is...
Stern Nun and Sister Mary Magpie accompany Helga to the chapel where (shock) Basement Cat lies unconscious but alive!
"He can hear you; speak to him Helga. Although he cannot wake, his mind is powerful - he can help you"
A Million Penguins look upwards to the heavens (and fall over) as a divine presence descends - sings. "I have dimensions, three."
The divine presence continues "I am the very model of a fully rounded character." Penguins chorus "she is so very rounded."
at this spectacle Stern Nun, Sister Mary swoon, however Helga attempts to join the chorusing penguins
however her singing is scratchy and out of tune, and also strangely off pitch
at this spectacle Stern Nun & Sister Mary swoon, however Helga attempts to join the chorusing penguins, not knowing the words...
Unfortunately, her voice is offensively scratchy and off key, and peculiarly high pitched
Basement cat, in an unconcious trance mews: "it appears that the combination of the penguins' and Helga's vocal emissions have
caused a time loop, a perpetual cycle of swooning, singing and screetching that can only be broken by..."
Suddenly a sweet scent in the air.
...who fancies Helga and thus Corbin for some reason feels the need to eliminate William and dramatically she does...
Helga leans in to BC "I hear him, Sister. He seems to be talking about penguins. What can this mean, Sister?"
Our habit is black and white, my daughter."
Helga cannot calm her mind, nor escape from thinking of William . Her mind is in torment. She must be rid of him for good.
A plan begins - William the bird; Basement Cat - her only part would be to ensure the two met and let nature take its own course
Helga, suddenly seeing the nuns properly "This must mean, between the basement and the ceiling there are nun but us."
Helga: And now to find another cell / the one where mother superior doth dwell
Helga: Ah, here she is. (knocks on door). "Enter!" sounds from within...
Helga: Mother Superior - I must find my laboratory!
Mother Superior: Down the corridor, third on the right dearie!
Helga: No, Mother, my lab-o-ratory...
Mother Superior: We have a very nice Oratory, just down the corridor, fourth on the right...
Helga: No, Mother, somewhere I can go to do my experiments...
Mother S: I think you're confusing us with a University, dearie. What's with all this talking? Let's have an aria!
In the nunnery, Helga (or whatever her name is) has access to a biochemistry lab and wants to brew a potion to lure her love..mf
A desperate yearning, unrequited. I long to be closer to my love, See how strong my passion burns, If only it could be returned
I need a token from my lover, something he wears or treasures well. I will use it for the brew, weave with it a magic spell
If I brew a special potion, who knows what I set in motion? My feelings for him are intense, I'm ready to take the consequence!
Helga hoped to find peace in the nunnery, but to no avail.
Daybreak, time to wake. Splash water on my face, Wash away the shameful thoughts that chase me thru the night: unclean, obscene
Pleasures of the flesh: bodies enmesh, Nudes recline, limbs entwine, how I long to make him mine.
My passion warms me in the cold. If sister Agnes knew, how she would scold. Sometimes my thoughts are scary, best say Hail Mary
Can't stop thinking of his smile, his face, even when I'm saying Grace, it makes my senses reel. How can I help the way I feel?

Helga can find no peace in the nunnery, she thinks only of her unrequited love
William departed for the "Balm of Bray", for he heard there he would find Jacki and the Unicorn Lord.

If you listen to whispers, you will not hear screams.
Leadership: cedeing control seeding control growing performance harvesting excellence.
To Tweet / two Tweet / too Tweeeet!
the talking sword wants to be a chef's knife.
Helga realised she was becoming delerious. She focused her mind: "My feelings shouldn't matter; reunite Hans & Will!"
With her mind clear, Helga returned to the inner chapel to commune with Basement Cat. She took her notebook with her.
I want to let it all out,but I dont know what it is.If you love me,help me.
Basement Cat looked serene (with tubes and monitors attached). Helga closed her eyes and concentrated.
Helga, inspired by a particularly vibrant sunrise, returns to her tattered diary, which contains her aunt's own convent story.
Basement Cat's words resonated in Helga's mind: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". It was all so clear now
All Helga had to do was find the bush with the two birds, then and only then would she succeed
Helga set off on her adventure, after pulling on her signature purple raincooat and polka dot boots.
O that wings of gold would let silver stories unfold Helga Helga says Eurydice lead me to the cage of stories untold
With Basement Cat, her trusty chemistry set and her aunt's diary in her bag, Helga boarded a train to Umberworld.
Meanwhile, at the gates of the 'Balm of Bray', Hans wonders how to make William Human again. He feeds him birdseed.
Our love william is as sweet as chocolate
In the chapel of the nunnery: Helga has left. B-Cat just lies there. C-Cat appears:
C-Cat: Up to your evil tricks again, I see. This good house is not a place for you to be.
B-Cat (by thought; laughing): I am dead, fun still to be had, as I earlier said. You've seen nothing yet.
C-Cat: You worry me, you worry me so. But my passion for good cannot let you go. --- B-Cat: I know. I SO knoooooooooooooooow!
*Enter Nutella, a 6'2" blonde who is part Viking, part Amazon, & all Raymond Chandler bishop-window-kicker* She...
opens her ruby lips & sings: How is it that my men are birds/ for this sort of thing a dame has no words FML
With FML meaning 'Fillet Mia Longo', meaning 'My Man Has Mutated Into A Bird, Something Is Fishy Here & I Am Longing'
"Fille-e-e-e-et mia longo/My man has left me now/ Why did he do me wrongo/ He's a bird, the bloody cow.
Fille-e-e-et mia longo/ My beloved flew away/I crave his wings so strongo/But people say he's also gay.
Fille-e-et, fillet mia longo/ I ho-o-o-pe he hears my tragic songo/Fille-e-e-t, fillet mia longo-/I'm getting a cat.
Fille-e-et, fillet mia longo/Oh no-o-o- & I just bought a thongo!/Fille-e-e-t, fillet mia longo-/The traitorous rat.
'Fillet Mia Longo'(Aria): A lady's not a girl/Without her man/He flies off like a bird?!/(And he hates bran!)
Fille-e-e-e-et mia longo/ I can't mate with a tern/ I'm moving to the Congo,/And might become a fern.
Fille-e-e-t, fillet mia longo/(And now, enter the bongos)[sung]/ Fille-e-e-e-t, fillet/mia longo-/Imagi-ine that.
Fille-e-et, fillet mia longo/My lo-o-o-o-ve, hit,my,heart,like,Pong-o/Fille-e-t,fillet mia longo-/I hope u go splat!!
Helga turns off her iPod and fumbles in her bag. She holds the comatose B-Cat aloft: "Next stop the Balm of Bray..."
Helga's cell door opens, enter Mother Superior, a fully rounded character of ample proportions, intelligent, witty, mezzosoprano
Mother Superior: "Welcome! How delightful to have such an accomplished scientist amongst us at last! Can you make decent tea?"
"who is that girl sitting near the birdbath? her worn out habit makes me laugh... what is her secret?"
Upon arrival, Helga asks a porter, "Have you heard of the man that is bird and his lover who is like no other?"
She takes a deep breath and falls asleep.
Wilfred (the porter) to Helga: "You'll find them in the main square, but sadness is all you'll find there"
Helga asks Wilfred: "Why, has there been a tragic accident with sandwiches?!?"
Suddenly Tobermory enters in a cloud of smoke with an evil meow, saying "Oh how wondrous is the art of fowl lobotomy..."
You are the one I have been looking for,searching for years almost gave up my hope,but now I know.you'll nver let me heart sore
Helga: "Tobermory...we meet again at last. You underestimated me before and so shall you again."
Enter Mother Superior, with axe: "Evil feline, o devil so furry/I'll end your life, thou fiend Tobermory" She swings axe at cat
And now Mother Superior is paralyzed! What's happened?!
Helga (to mother s): "wait! Stop, you can't! Tobermory he's...my son!" She falls to knees. Mother S is flab'gasted!
Helga: "Tobermory was not always feline, accidentally on a potion he did dine, and now lives he has nine"
Mother Superior gasps "No I cannot believe this lie. Tobermory must now die!" She grins evilly and swings the axe again!!!
Helga screams "NO!" She dives in front of her beloved Tobermory, and looses a pinky finger to the axe.
a 30 piece orchestra marches in as helga starts singing in the pain & anguish
Then suddenly, Tobermory rears up on his hind legs. "I was not always feline, and I am still not feline." He begins to change.
As Tobermory changes chorus of birds scattered through audience sing 'Once was fiend/once was foe/transmogrify/the mog we know!'
Helga beings to climb "I need to end my awful plight, i have lost the will and fight, all i crave for is a single silent night"
T "Mummy mummy why leave me now, you are not ready to take your final bow"
Mother S "I have had with this lark" grabbing the axe again "I shall commit thy to the dark"
still climbing H "I shall climb down for your single wish" Mother S throwing the axe at H "Ha plummet to your final dish"
the axe misses, H slips "my grip is slipping, I have been foolish in this life to care more for science than those that love"
She falls at this moment the birdman swoops in catching H "I shall save you for one last time, is that the clock i hear chime"
Mother S "Why do my plans all fail" in walks a police lady "your under arrest, off to jail"
"you shalt not take me down, i will run from this godly town" runs off stage.
birdman descends with H "my wings weaken I must drop you now" H "if you do it will be my final bow"
bridman "too late my grip has gone" bang she hits the floor "sorry fair lady but your has story has shone"
T runs over to H crying he sings "your life has been cut short, i shall avenge your death with one final epic eternal retort"
T "I must go and seek, to kill the weak, the one beast of flight and untame, the dragon from the north cave of Ellishame"
But wait, Helga moves! She extends a frail hand towards her bag "Basement Cat, hear me now"
The bag bursts into blue flame, a beam of light engulfs Helga and wings appear from her back. She flies after William
the cat has gone, brandishing the the axe Helga drags herself across the stage in pursuit singing "I will not, i will not die"
Axe aloft, Helga takes flight: "A bird in the HANS is worth two in the bush - finally I understand".
T approaches the cave "what lurks in this dark evil chasm" a burst of flames erupt from the cave "that made my brave core spasm"
Tobermory: "Man or feline, there is nothing so fine as love can define - good luck mother"
T approaches the cave "what lurks in this dark evil chasm" a burst of flames erupt from the cave "that made my brave core spasm"
t shouts "hark fine beast I need your aid, to cause havok and chaos on a heavenly parade" More fire comes out of cave
T: "It must be some ungodly demon, who focuses on the wayward freeman...
demon speaks in a loud low tone "you awake me from this pillar of death and tomb, addrress me by name and curse... Fraberoom"
In the orchestra, some kind of frightening interlude takes place using the traditional "Dies Irae" theme.
Orchestral interlude ends with a very high note (representing a scream) being sung by an unseen female character...
T "you are no curse, you are a blessing to anoint the wounds of my revenge,Similar pain you feel so come on and yourself forshow"
(this being said underneath the tones of the scream, which is still going)
Fraberoom roars "You know of my wretched past", lights dim, flicker red and orange to represent fire.
Enter Celine, the evil-genius female feline (culprit of the scream): "Noooooooooo! Forswear this other trickster here and now!"
T "Your bashment is caused by Corbon commander of crows the battle was long bloody to thro it ended by wings ripped and shred"
f "I AM FORSAKEN AND BROKEN"
Celine: "For reasons beneficial to all inhabitants of this world!"
C: "Frarebroom, I will be forced to use my genius to destroy the hold you have on this poor sot whom you would employ!"
T "I ignore your wicked spells, you ancient witch of spiteful forgotten era, i need this warrior to battle those i want dead"
Roaring, Fraberoom emerges out of the cave. a scrarred old dragon his scales that used to be gold and copper are now faded to tin
T jumps on Fs back,bass drums pound in time with his wings,T and f sing "bringer of war and death i shall have my revenge"
C grabs fs tail and cackles "I shall stop this absurdity even if i have to lay down my own life" leave stage (t+f sing on)
Corbin roosts in a tree with his minions and the sun setting behind him "what beauty it is to be alive"
Meanwhile, Hans asleep in forest, Will has flown the coop & …
Ghost of Alfred Hitchcock in forest (Bryn Terfel!):…
Oh say did that 4-leg/ged critter survive? (Star Spangled Banner tune 'yet wave' line)
…By the skin of its teeth in the 9th of its lives! (Stratosphere on 'teeth'
Ghost of Alfred Hitchcock (tune O Sole Mio): …
…Oh Holy Mackerel!! What's happened here? The Fishsword's length now/ exceeds a spear's!
Ghost (cont.): I think a different kettle/ of fish entirely may soon appear!
(This must be the Fat Lady and if she is about to sing, is the end is nigh?? Looks peckish and Hans is snack she fancies!)
The Fat Lady sings to Hans (The Flower Duet tune or repeating bits of it, the experts'll have to work it out):
Sole Meuniere, paella, Cajun gumbo, shrimp & mussels, lobster, cockles, breaded haddock, pickled herrings & a stew…
Fried octopus, fish casserole, Oysters Rockefeller, cod & chips, a kipper, scallops, calamari, not a single one will do!
They can keep them! I won't eat them! Such a tender morsel of a man I can't resist a little nibble out of you!
(As 1st) I've had enough/ of fishy stuff! If I see another tuna sandwich I will beat a hasty path to Timbuktu!
(Rpt tune)I've had my fill! Fish makes me ill! Never in a month of Sunday dinners will I go back to the seafood counter's queue!
I must have you! Let me taste you! Doesn't really matter if you're cooked or raw I'd love to take a bite out of you!
(As 1st) Don't fight with me! Won't hurt a bit!...
… Just a sample, just a little speck is all I want, I want, I want to take a bite out of you!
(Rpt tune) You scrumptious thing! Mouthwatering!...
…Back to sleep now, just relax, I promise I'll be quick, don't worry, I won't bite off more than I can chew!
I am drooling! Tummy's growling! Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy you!
Hans grabs shard of ruined Fishsword & lunges, the Fat Lady shimmies aside & laughs carelessly, Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha etc.
Ghost: He'll put someone's eye out with that thing if he's not careful! His own!
Amahl: I have here in the pocket of my white lab coat the last few drops of Helga's potion in a vial….
(Cont.) Amahl: The bomb's blast will have altered its properties. I cannot say what effect it may now have…
… Should I hurl it and find out?
Ghost: Now is your moment, my countertenor friend! (Ghost retreats)
(Cont.) Amahl removes cap of vial and throws its contents at the Fat Lady who screams operatically (Cue smoke machine!)…
…She freezes like a statue, & has to stay like that as Amahl (Greg Pritchard!) steps forward & sings to Hans (Barcarolle tune)…
Amahl sings: I for one will cross in future several lanes of traffic/ If I spot a seafood restaurant so that I'll avoid it
Amahl (cont.) For a hero you're a pretty ineffective fencer. May I suggest a safer job - a bank? Or selling menswear?
At least you weren't the feast of this creature in sequins, but now you've lost your Tweetie.
Amahl (cont) She got her PhD in Idiocy! You must agree, you must agree. Ah! Ah! Ah! (Hans exits in panic in search of lost Will)
Amahl (alone with frozen Fat Lady) sings a bit more of Barcarolle tune
Amahl: Scientific research is no longer my cup of tea. A waiter in a posh hotel – now there's the job for me! (Hums)
(The Fat Lady suddenly 'thaws' and comes back to life, blinking and looking surprised.)
The Fat Lady: Oh, is this Covent Garden? I must have slept through my stop!
The Fat Lady to Amahl: You're a cutie! Don't look so nervous, I won't eat you! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha! …
…Bye bye! Bye bye! (With flick of sequined tail the Fat Lady shimmies offstage)
'we shall reject apathy to impress the one armed collie and learn a new word everyday. so here concludes our fair tale of twit''
Meanwhile Mother S is hiding behind rock "I will not be caught, for angered with frought, I need that scientist Helga in short
Corbin flies down to rock circled by his flock "I hear you seek the one with the new beak, the birdwoman has flown to umberworld
MS "umberworld world what a ridiculous notion have you been drinking Helga's potion"
C "the land of the birds it is truely named, you should feel ashamed"
C continues "Do you want help or not godly creature, I can become you new gdly teacher" flock squawk in unison "join us" rpt
MS "a message from god this must be, I shall join you, fly me, fly me fly me to umberworld"
C "I agree on one condition, that you join my flock with no fruitions,we shall do in one mighty purge with a swoop and surge"
Like A Shooting Star, The Illumined Mind, It Gives The Moon Its' Shine
William lands in a clearing and, cursing nature, demands to be made man again. He begins tearing at his feathers.
As the sun begins to set, William sings himself to sleep. Birds settle on trees around him & listen solemnly.
And while mad men cry of lost feasts and wring their briny hands, there is Helga in her cloister. Is it God she hears, or birds?
Helga: "I am so uneasy, my stomach is queasy, there is something about convent life I don't like ...."
Helga cont: "Those habits and wimples, they give a girl pimples! There's something about convent life I don"t like."
Helga: "why did I not think this out? I wanted quiet no doubt. But what made me think I cld do lab work in here? It's SO so drear
Helga:"I must leave, I must go. I miss William so. And the birds, their sweet tweets, their twitters & peeps to them I must go"
But when Helga returns from the convent, she finds Hans hanging around William. Also a lovely actress in stilettos
The darkness of desires the true form of love where are we to go in this dark world the birds and swords
The darkness of desires the true form of love where are we to go in this dark world the birds and swords
the infinities of desires the true wisdom at will the red sun and moon that shine together on the blue sky

United Chemical Yellow Treat Algaecide 2lb bottle
What is Yellow Treat?
The United Chemicals Yellow Treat Algaecide is the most trusted algaecide for killing mustard and yellow pool algae. Yellow Treat is an EPA Registered patented algaecide that is designed to specifically treat and kill yellow, or mustard, swimming pool algae. The powerful chemical formula of Yellow Treat eradicates yellow and mustard algae from all types of swimming pools. The Yellow Treat Algaecide lid acts as a measuring guide; just use 1 capful for every 10,000 gallons of water and super-chlorinate.
How do I tell when I have yellow algae?
Yellow algae grows on the shady side of the pool, in corners, behind ladders and above the light. It can look like dirt on the side. In a covered pool, it can grow all over. Most of it will brush off. If none will brush off, look out, you probably have metal staining. Use United's Pool Stain Treat for metals
What benefits can I expect from using it?
Your yellow algae will be immediately arrested and after you brush off any residue, your pool will have superior water clarity.
Is it expensive to use?
No! A 2 lb. bottle will treat 60,000 gallons, 4 times what most of the competitors can handle, and we do it better!
How effective is Yellow Treat?
It is so effective that 9 out of 10 pool professionals use it in So. California & Florida. We guarantee it!
What does Yellow Treat do?
It effectively kills yellow/mustard algae and starts to clean up the water of other invisible life forms.
Does Yellow Treat have copper or other metals in it?
No! It does not contain any heavy metals which can stain your pool.
Does Yellow Treat affect my pool's balance?
No! But if you over chlorinate your pool, you may affect your test kit results by bleaching and/or causing reactions with the test reagents. Simply add more chlorine/bromine neutralizer to correct the problem.
Can Yellow Treat Stain?
No! But you must be careful because you use chlorine to activate Yellow Treat and the chlorine can cause staining. Be sure to pre-dissolve the chlorine and broadcast the solution on top of the pool, don't pour it down the sides.
Is Yellow Treat ok for my type pool?
You can use it in any type pool.
How safe is it for me, my family and pets?
Yellow Treat is non-toxic when added to the pool. We treat your pool as though it is drinking water. We have let algae grow on our test pools and then treated with Yellow Treat. The president of United and his family swim in that same test pool. All our chemicals are produced with the idea that you and your pets could drink the water safely in an emergency.
Is DPD (Pink Chlorine Test) the best for chlorine?
No! Our extensive field experience has shown that the OTO (Yellow Test) is a better choice. Let the test stand for 5 minutes after adding the reagent. Don't worry about free or combined chlorine. United makes depending on DPD (Pink test) obsolete. We also found that DPD is less reliable.
Is there anything different when using Yellow Treat?
Yes! Your pool will go through a clean-up period that will last from one day to 3-4 weeks. During that clean-up period you may experience a low or no chlorine reading. Don't panic! Just chlorinate continuously. Don't shock! A chlorinator or feeder makes life easy and we recommend them. If you lose your chlorine residual during heavy rain, bather load, or high temperature, just increase your feed rate until the residual comes back.
Do I still need chlorine?
Yes! Yellow Treat is activated with chlorine. After the initial treatment, chlorinate continuously which is much better than shocking.
How can my pool look so good without a chlorine residual?
Just as judging a person by age as to how he feels is not accurate, testing of pool water does not always tell you what's happening. Many chemistries in the pool can affect your test results. As long as you're feeding chlorine and the pool water looks good, you are reasonably safe.
Is Yellow Treat all I need?
No! As great a product as Yellow Treat is, we biodegrade. We highly recommend that you use No Mor Problems® to eliminate all algae in the future. Also, none of our products need any particular water balance to work, but your pool on the other hand does. The main reason that you balance a pool is to control scale, corrosion and staining. United knows that you don't want to work on your pool, you want to enjoy your pool. Ask your dealer for a copy of the revolutionary Hamilton index for easy preventative maintenance.
Can I get rid of algae forever?
Forever is a long time. We have been able to stop algae for 13 years now. How? With No Mor Problems®used as a maintenance program. We suggest you start using No Mor Problems® 48 hours after adding Yellow Treat. Remember to add No Mor Problems® as per bottle instructions. You will see a visual improvement in water sparkle as proof of No Mor Problems® effectiveness once the stabilization process is complete. We also eliminate shocking!!
Should I use No Mor Problems year-round?
Yes, unless you close your pool in the winter. During the off season, you will need very little No Mor Problems® and you will save time and money on the spring clean-up

Dear Editor,
… Readers who follow the goings-on of MAPS administration realize there is much information "in between the lines." Firstly, enrollment at Pine River has declined for three years straight now, just like Scott and Midway Elementaries. Secondly, MAPS is losing about 20 elementary students yearly. Thirdly, it is expensive paying for six elementary kitchens, six elementary secretary offices and shuttling art teachers, music teachers, physical education teachers and two principals to the three schools outside the city limits. Fourthly, the district, because it is in growth decline, needs to cut its budget every year (this year's goal is $1,000,000).
In conclusion, I would like to note that those who love Pine River Elementary should love it while it is still there. I very much doubt the current kindergartners will ever graduate from Pine River Elementary. This spring, parents and grandparents, past and present students and teachers closed the Scott Elementary School for the last time, and it has been sold. Midway Elementary closes this spring. The only question left is when MAPS will close Pine River.

This code indicates that a fault has been detected in the injector data recognition system (for a particular cylinder). Consult the vehicle service manual (or equivalent) for the location of the cylinder in question. The PCM or one of the other supporting control modules has detected this fault. These control modules may include (but are not limited to) the alternative fuel control module, the body control module, the antilock brake control module, the instrument panel control module, the fuel injection control module, the turbo control module, the anti-theft module, the cruise control module, the traction control module, proximity alert module, and the climate control module.
In the event of an injector data recognition system malfunction, a trouble code will be stored and a service engine soon lamp may be illuminated. Some models require multiple drive cycles (as many as eight) with a failure in order for the service engine soon lamp to be illuminated and others will activate it on the initial failure.
Symptoms may include a stored trouble code, a hard or no start condition, rough running engine, decreased fuel efficiency, engine misfire, and a general lack of power. If this code is stored, and a service engine soon lamp has not yet been illuminated, the code may be shown as pending.
The most likely cause of this code being stored (especially if a PCM or controller replacement has recently occurred) is a failure to properly reprogram the PCM or fuel control module. Other causes may include defective fuel injectors, injector connectors, burned or damaged injector wiring, shorted or open wiring or connectors between the interfacing control modules, open or shorted wiring or connectors in the PCM input circuitry from the engine sensors, loose or disconnected ground wires to the PCM or other control modules, internal malfunctions in the PCM.
Stored codes that are present as a reaction to a communication failure are often misdiagnosed and repaired as the cause of the problem. Obviously, this leads to an unsuccessful repair.

Whole Brain or Cyberknife for Brain Metastases?
Last Reviewed: September 18, 2013
How do I know if whole brain radiation or cyberknife radiation is better? My doctor said both are an option. Are both as effective? Does one have more side effects or worse side effects?
Robert Lustig, MD, Pediatric & Adult Radiation Oncologist at Penn Medicine, responds:
I will answer assuming you have brain metastasis from a cancer somewhere else in the body. The choice of treatment depends on the number of brain lesions and the patients overall condition. In my practice I usually recommend focal treatment (Cyberknife or Gamma Knife) if there are 4 or fewer lesions and reserve whole brain radiation if it is needed in the future.

NORTON, Mass. – Senior Jen Chao led a strong effort for MIT women's swimming and diving at the non-scoring Charlie Batterman Relays hosted by NEWMAC rival Wheaton College. Chao factored into all four victories for the Engineers, who enjoyed a solid start to open the 2008-09 season.
Chao enjoyed success in the fly twice (200 medley, 200 fly) while also participating on the winning 200 back and 400 individual medley relays. She nearly pulled MIT to another victory in the 400 free after anchoring with a split of 55.82.
Freshman Allison Alwan and senior Nicole O'Keefe joined in on three of the wins with O'Keefe splitting 26.93 to anchor the 200 back. Senior Abby Clark and sophomore Katie Creasy also finished as part of winning teams.

Jacklin certainly possessed some heavy armoury for the 1987 matches: Seve Ballesteros' three top-ten finishes in majors in 1987 indicated that the old magic was still there; Nick Faldo had broken through with his first major win in The Open at Muirfield; Sandy Lyle became the first ever non-American to win the prestigious Tournament Players Championship; Ian Woosnam had won the European Order of Merit, hardly surprising, as he had scooped up five tour titles in 1987; Howard Clark, Bernhard Langer, Sam Torrance, Jose Rivero, Gordon Brand Jnr and Eamonn Darcy had all won on the European Tour that season. Two of Jacklin's three wildcard picks had not won that season, Ken Brown and the 21-year-old Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal (Lyle was Jacklin's other pick), but the strength of the European team was undeniable.
However, the Americans did possess six major winners in their ranks, including the surprise US Masters and US Open champions of Larry Mize and Scott Simpson respectively, and the US PGA winner Larry Nelson (the others were Ben Crenshaw, Hal Sutton, and Lanny Wadkins). The side contained five debutants in Mize, Simpson, Mark Calcavecchia, Dan Pohl, and Payne Stewart, and only Tom Kite, Curtis Strange, Wadkins and Sutton remained from the 1985 team. Skippered by Jack Nicklaus, on the very course he had designed at Muirfield Village, Ohio, the Americans were hoping that home advantage would see them defend their proud record. General opinion seemed to suggest that the speed of the greens was apparently going to be the Achilles heel of the visitors. As it happened, this supposition couldn't have been further from the truth.
Lanny Wadkins also got involved in the mind games prior to the event, criticising Ballesteros and Langer for not winning in America: "Ballesteros and Langer haven't won over here in two years. If they're the best then why can't they come over here against the best fields and win?". In truth, this sound bite had a touch of desperation about it, and if it was intended to dent European confidence then surely it would only have inspired them to greater heights. A more accurate and thoughtful comment came from Martin Hardy writing in the Daily Express: "But it could be as close as one or two points either way, but on the evidence of the mood in the European camp and their practice performances, I sniff history about to be made." Very perceptive.
With the razzmatazz of the opening ceremony and the Ohio State University marching band out of the way, finally the talk had to stop and the 27th Ryder Cup would be under way on the morning of Friday September 25. Jacklin caused a minor surprise when he elected to omit Sandy Lyle from the foursomes, justifying his decision by stating: "Sandy doesn't seem to suit foursomes. It was a difficult decision. I did have half a mind to play him because he really is hitting the ball well." A reasonable explanation, though it was still a brave decision nonetheless. Jacklin opted to pick two partnerships that had previously played foursomes golf together in the Ryder Cup - Torrance and Clark, and Brown and Langer - and his other pairs were logical. Woosnam and Faldo were in superb form, and it made sense to play the Spaniards of Ballesteros and Olazabal together. Nicklaus threw three of his debutants into the fray straight away in Pohl, Mize and Stewart, partnered with experienced players in Sutton, Wadkins and Nelson respectively. The top pair of Strange and Kite looked particularly strong on paper, and would prove to be the following morning.
Clark and Torrance didn't help matters however, playing wayward golf as the Americans quickly marched into a three hole lead. It was an advantage that the Americans would never relinquish, eventually running out 4 & 2 winners. At one stage in proceedings, Europe were down in every match, and things were looking decidedly shaky, even more so when Brown and Langer lost 2 & 1 to Sutton and Pohl. Of the four losing European players, Torrance, Clark and Brown would not be seen again until the Sunday, although the former two would still have a big role to play come the final day.
Europe's Friday morning fightback began in earnest through the Faldo and Woosnam pairing, in the very definition of a game of two halves. Their front nine total of 40 was as hideous as it sounds, and not surprisingly the pair were four down to Wadkins and Mize. And then something clicked in the Anglo-Welsh axis, as the pair won five of the next eight holes to amazingly reach the last a hole to the good. For good measure, the Europeans won the 18th too, gaining a much needed point in a stirring comeback. Soon after, Seve sunk a five foot putt on the last to give him and Olazabal a one hole victory over Stewart and Nelson, levelling the overall score at 2-2. It was Nelson's first ever defeat in Ryder Cup matches (he previously had a P9 W9 record), and unfortunately for him he would not be adding any more to the wins column at Muirfield Village.
Europe were undoubtedly the happier team going into the afternoon fourballs. Whether American disappointment and European relief had an impact on the events of that Friday afternoon is debatable, but what is for sure is that the next few hours from a European perspective would be exhilarating, astounding, and quite simply awesome. For the first time in Ryder Cup history, the Americans suffered a whitewash in a session. As wake-up calls go, this was as alarming as it could get for American golf.
Brand Jnr and Rivero, an unlikely Jacklin partnership, got the ball rolling, scoring a 3 & 2 victory over Simpson and Andy Bean. Jacklin stuck with Langer, dropping Brown though to make way for Sandy Lyle. At two down with five to play, it looked as if the German would suffer his second defeat of the day, but a Langer birdie at 14, and a par from Lyle on 17 levelled the match, and the pressure began to tell on the home pairing. Neither Simpson or Bean could par the last - not one par between them on the last two holes, the cardinal sin in fourballs - as Lyle's par sneaked a delicious win for the Europeans.
Woosnam and Faldo edged out Sutton and Pohl in a close match, winning 2 & 1 to give Europe a three-point lead, the key moment of the contest taking place on the 14th, where Woosnam struck an iron to within a few feet of the pin to win the hole. As Seve and Olazabal marched into a four hole lead after ten, and the other matches were starting to slope Europe's way, the unthinkable was becoming a reality. Although Strange and Kite won the 11th and 12th, holes 13-16 were halved, leaving the Spaniards dormie-two up. The Americans played 17 well, both getting inside Seve's approach shot on the par four. With chilling inevitability, Seve drained his birdie putt, leaving Jacklin and Europe ecstatic at a splendid afternoon in the office, whilst America were left in a stunned silence, numb at the events that had just taken place. The unprecedented clean-sweep meant Europe ended day one in dream land: USA 2 Europe 6.
It would be a slight understatement to state that the Americans needed a positive response on day two, otherwise a first defeat on home soil was staring them squarely in the face. To boost home spirits, American spectators were handed mini stars and stripes flags to wave patriotically, in the hope that this show of national pride would somehow filter through to the players involved. Nick Faldo, writing in the Daily Express after the event, was pretty damning in his view on this subject: "The Americans knew it was all going wrong after the first day. So what happens the next? They bring in Rentacrowd chanting 'USA, USA' and waving 25,000 flags. It was embarrassing to see..." You can't blame the Americans though, for at the time they needed any help they could get.
Jacklin obviously sweated over his team selection for all of two seconds, and sent the same pairs out in the morning foursomes that had completed the fourballs clean sweep the evening before. Nicklaus shuffled his pack, although the pairing of Kite and Strange remained, justifying Nicklaus' faith in them by beating Rivero and Brand Jnr 3 & 1. Then came the first halved match of the 27th Ryder Cup, as Woosnam and Faldo's failure to par the last led to Sutton and Mize gaining a much needed half a point. Europe's two point cushion was soon restored though, as Langer and Lyle inflicted a 2 & 1 defeat on Nelson and Wadkins. And then came the drama of the Crenshaw/Stewart v Ballesteros/Olazabal match.
The Americans were struggling throughout, finding themselves three down with five to play. However, they cut into the arrears on 14 and 17, and still had the chance of halving their match, when previously all had looked lost. The recovery looked like it had stalled on the last though, when Crenshaw and Stewart both took turns to make a hash of things, and their bogey five looked one too many, especially as Seve had an eight-foot putt for par, and more importantly, the Spaniards had two for the match. An ideal situation to be in, especially with Seve Ballesteros standing above the ball. But this was a slick putt, and to the astonishment of everyone, the great master rolled his lag putt six-feet past. Hardly the best of things to do when your partner is a rookie. Seve was beside himself, though he needn't have worried. Olazabal confidently stroked the putt home for yet another European point and the hug of thanks he received from from Seve said it all. The hosts had started the day hoping for a rousing fightback, yet Europe took the session 2½-1½, to take their overall lead to five points.
Again America entered a session knowing that they simply had to win it emphatically to stay in the hunt. Europe's top players were still performing to an unbelievably high standard however, none more so than Woosnam and Faldo. Their 5 & 4 fourball victory over Strange and Kite was a birdie-fest, Europe's pair going out in 29, and finishing ten under for the fourteen holes, crushing the spirits of their opponents, who themselves were five under for the round. Stewart and Bean hit back, defeating Brand Jnr and Eamonn Darcy (playing his first match) 3 & 2, the Americans matching Woosnam and Faldo's front-nine total of 29. Sutton and Mize then narrowed the gap, defeating an emotionally and physically drained Ballesteros and Olazabal 2 & 1. All eyes turned to the final match on the course, as Wadkins and Nelson were involved in an epic battle with Lyle and Langer, in the gathering darkness of Ohio.
When Sandy Lyle eagled the 15th to put the Europeans dormie three-up, all the drama that was about to unfold on our television screens didn't look possible. Lanny Wadkins had other ideas though, as his birdies on 16 and 17 dragged the game down the last, and eeked out that extra bit of tension that seems to sit so well with Ryder Cups of the modern era.
The 18th hole was played in simply majestic fashion by all four players. Lyle hit his second to within a couple of yards of the flag and is reputed to have turned to Langer and say "Get inside that and we'll be all right." Nelson in turn knocked his approach to about seven yards and the standard of play did not drop as Wadkins ended five yards from the hole. Langer though would have the last word, hitting his shot to within a foot of the hole and with it assure Europe of another point. One must presume that the German had obviously listened to Lyle's advice.
Jacklin and his team were naturally jubilant at this outcome, and celebrated accordingly. It may have looked like a premature European party by the side of the 18th, but after witnessing a shot like Langer's in such times of stress it was justifiable that the visitors should show such elation. Either way, there was no doubting that Europe were in such a position of strength after two days that surely the Ryder Cup would be returning back across the Atlantic on the flight home. A 10½-5½ lead going into the singles meant that Europe only required 3½ points to retain the trophy and 4 to win it outright. On the evidence of the first two days, it should have been a walk in the park. As a cocky 12-year-old I didn't even contemplate any thoughts of an American fightback. How wrong I was.
Looking back on that final day it is scary how close Europe came to cocking everything up. The first two days work would have gone down the drain and being so young I'm not sure how I would have coped. I watched the day unfold in a shocked silence and must have eaten about a stones worth of finger nails. It wasn't meant to be like this. I wanted a Mo Farahesque lap of honour, what I got was Paula Radcliffe in Athens.
The first five matches all reached the 18th, though from a European point of view, all was not well. Ian Woosnam surprisingly lost by one hole to Andy Bean, one of Woosie's many unexplained defeats in singles matches of the Ryder Cup. Fortunately, the next two matches had a much happier outcome for Europe, as firstly Clark defeated Pohl on the final green (Pohl's shocking six helping the Englishman's cause no end), and Torrance sneaked a half against Mize, the American mimicking Pohl's dreadful final hole. Perhaps Clark and Torrance had benefited from not playing, as it slowly became evident that the majority of Europe's ever-presents were struggling with a fifth round in three days. Faldo and Olazabal emphasised this point; Calcavecchia pulled off a shock in his one hole victory over Faldo, and Stewart's two hole win against Olazabal sounded alarm bells within the away camp. USA 9 Europe 12.
The unthinkable was rapidly seeping into every pore of my body, as Simpson defeated Rivero 2 & 1, and Kite accounted for Lyle 3 & 2. The true horror of the situation soon became apparent, as the 1980s style graphic appeared on our TV screens: USA 11 Europe 12. As always during those scary final days of the Ryder Cup, you start to scan the scoreboard for signs of a European win, as you frantically calculate all the permutations of the matches left on the course. And my eyes, and indeed the television cameras, were being drawn to one match in particular, as the destiny of the Ryder Cup hung in the balance - Ben Crenshaw v Eamonn Darcy.
Darcy, it has to be said, had an abysmal Ryder Cup record. He hadn't won a game in any of his previous three appearances, and his swing was unique to say the least. But he must have been a good player, as he wouldn't have made four Ryder Cup teams. So when he was three-up against Ben Crenshaw all seemed fine. Even more so when Crenshaw snapped his putter in anger, and had to start holing out with a variety of other clubs. Or so I naively thought. Darcy's match started reflecting Europe's hopes as he started to crumble under the pressure. From three-up Darcy collapsed and found himself one-down with two to play. Losing wasn't an option for Europe.
Darcy won the 17th and when Crenshaw found water on the last it was surely curtains for the American. However, he managed to scrape a five together and Darcy faced a horrible six foot downhill putt for the match. It was the kind that could go six-feet past, very similar to Ballesteros' putt in the previous day's foursomes. Jacklin looked on, we all looked on. This was the Ryder Cup, right on the line. Everything relying upon an Irishman who hadn't won a match before. His putt trickled towards the cup and we all held our breath. And then it dropped. Jacklin sprinted to the green and hugged Darcy uncontrollably. The man with a played 10, won 0, lost 8, halved 2 record in the Ryder Cup was the player who delivered when his team most needed it. Maybe Nick Berry was right after all.
Europe were not quite over the line, but the sense of relief felt after Darcy's point was tangible. Soon history was made. Langer and Nelson conceded putts to each other on the last to halve their match, meaning that Europe were guaranteed a tie at worse, due to the fact that Ballesteros was dormie two-up against Strange. A tie may well have felt like a defeat on that famous Sunday, so how fitting it was that it fell to Seve to perform the coup de grâce. The man who had done so much to revive the tournament deserved to be the player to clinch Europe's first win in America, and as his short putt on 17 closed out his match, the European party could now truly begin.
It didn't matter that Wadkins defeated Brown, or that Sutton and Brand Jnr halved their match. Europe had triumphed 15-13, to defeat America on home soil for the first time in Ryder Cup history. As a teary Jacklin declared that "This is the best week of my life", and Ollie danced his joyful way across a Muirfield green, I knew that I was witnessing a simply wonderful and significant moment in sport. The Ryder Cup was now serious business, and American pride had been dented enough to mean that, come two years time, they would be desperate to win the trophy back. After they failed to do that, 1991 and Kiawah Island was a sad consequence of eight years of American frustration. They should have tried being in our shoes between 1957-1985.
The British press were quick to acknowledge the achievement of the team: 'YANKEE DOODLE SEVVY' was the back page headline of the Monday edition of the Daily Mirror, the Daily Express going for a simple 'JACKLIN'S HEROES' on their front page. Soon talk turned to Jacklin and whether he would stay on as captain. The quotes emanating from the skipper were not all that hopeful: "What more can I do? I can only go one way after this. I've achieved what I set out to do. The dream of winning it in the first place and then retaining it over here has been realised now I have to get on with my own life." Luckily, history tells us that Jacklin did change his stance, and after the 14-14 draw in 1989 he was able to leave the job with his reputation enhanced, and his place in Ryder Cup history assured.
Since 1987, two European teams have managed to win the Ryder Cup in America (1995 and 2004 since you ask). As the 39th edition gets under way in Medinah this week, it is probably worth keeping this in mind. It is never easy to win the cup on your opponent's home turf, so Ollie and his boys will have their work cut out this year. Come Sunday night, I just hope I see our skipper dancing as he did back on that glorious final day of 1987.

Coming alive: Monroe and friends at Ash Lawn
Sometimes, reading about history can be little dull for the non-history buffs in the world. But make a trip past Carter Mountain to Ash Lawn-Highland, and see history come alive in the person of Dennis Bigelow as President James Monroe.
On January 19, the home of the famous founder hosted a special "Freedom for All" tour to celebrate Martin Luther King Day. In addition to President Monroe, two historical residents (one real, one fictitious) of Ash Lawn were on hand.
The Reverend John Massey, portrayed by Stan Popin, owned Ash Lawn during and after the Civil War. Though he supported the South, he could foresee that the future of Virginia would depend on the "Negro" vote, and he was influential in creating an educational system and voting rights for freed slaves.
Russell Hubert portrayed fictional former slave Sam Washington whose take on his new freedom was ambivalent. Though he was a free man, he was not treated as an equal. Though he owned land, he had to sacrifice much of it for taxes.
The tour ended with Bigelow, as Monroe, summarizing his feelings. Monroe was aware that slavery was not good for the future of the United States. He supported the Missouri Compromise that banned slavery in new western territories. When he was president of the Virginia Constitutional Convention, he had a plan to phase out slavery, but the topic was too controversial at the time.
Ash Lawn's presentation provides a vivid understanding of our racial past. History is important, as it shows our mistakes and the lessons we should learn. These living re-enactments certainly make it more fun for our short-attention-span society.

The House of Representatives ended a history-making day today by voting to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for, in its view, resisting legitimate requests for documents related to the Fast and Furious gun operation.
While most Democrats condemned the action — the first time a chamber of Congress had ever voted to seek criminal charges against a sitting attorney general — Texas Republicans were unanimous in their support for the action.
Here is a sampling of reaction:
Rep. Kevin Brady, R-The Woodlands:
"Mr. Holder's repeated refusals to provide information to Congress about Operation Fast and Furious are regrettable and necessitated the bipartisan action taken today," Kevin Brady said. "A federal law enforcement official is dead, and his family and the American people deserve to know the truth."
"The House sent a clear message to the Administration this afternoon," Brady added, "No one is above the law."
Rep. Pete Olson, R-Sugar Land:
"For eight months, Congress has requested information from the Justice Department to determine who was responsible for, and had knowledge of, the flawed Fast and Furious gun-walking operation.
"Yet, Attorney General Holder has refused to cooperate with Congress about the operation and failed to produce requested documents. Last week, President Obama defended Holder's decision to keep America in the dark and wrongfully asserted Executive Privilege to deny release of the requested documents.
"Agent Brian Terry's family and the American public deserve answers, yet the Attorney General and the President wish to hide the truth. Unfortunately, the only mechanism left for Congress to exercise its constitutionally mandated oversight powers, is to hold the Attorney General in contempt."
Rep. Bill Flores, R-Bryan:
"Attorney General Holder's contempt for the law and for the Constitution has been demonstrated and documented extensively throughout this investigation and during his tenure as Attorney General. His lack of cooperation and failure to provide documents in the ongoing Congressional investigation into the 'Fast and Furious' operation is a clear sign of disrespect for the law. This operation allowed over 2,000 weapons to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, and these weapons are linked to the deaths of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and hundreds of Mexican nationals.
"Today's bipartisan votes to find the Attorney General in contempt of Congress are a clear sign that we will not tolerate blatant disregard for the rule of law.
"The Attorney General of the United States is the chief law enforcement official in the federal government. This position requires an individual who remains beyond reproach and who carries out his job without regard to politics. Attorney General Holder has not demonstrated this quality. His failure to comply with Congressional requests regarding 'Fast and Furious'; his decision to not defend the Defense of Marriage Act; his actions to intervene in States' immigration, redistricting and voter ID laws; and his failure to prosecute persons involved in voter intimidation activities unequivocally illustrate a glaring lack of the qualities needed to be an impartial and effective U.S. Attorney General."
Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Midland:
"Transparency and accountability are not optional; government officials are responsible for their actions and decisions, especially when a tragedy such as the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent occurs.
"The family of Agent Brian Terry, the American people and Congress deserve answers.
"And, to get those answers, the Department of Justice has to turn over the remaining documents related to this failed operation. Only then will we be able to work together to ensure this tragedy never happens again."
Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin:
"As a former federal prosecutor at the Department of Justice, I believe it is of utmost importance to understand all the facts of a case before passing judgment. After briefings on Operation Fast and Furious and months of debate between the Administration and the Congress that has played out before multiple congressional committees, it is clear that Attorney General Holder is in contempt of Congress and should resign.
"The Department of Justice under General Holder has failed to comply with subpoenas demanding documents related to the botched operation. Under the Constitution, the congressional committee investigating the matter has oversight jurisdiction over the executive branch.
"The fact that the White House asserted executive privilege minutes before a contempt vote in committee doesn't pass the smell test. As Chairman Issa stated in his letter to the president, executive privilege is only applicable to "those documents and communications to and from the President and his most senior advisors." Yet, the White House maintains it has not played a role in advising DOJ in this matter.
"This case takes on such great importance because Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed by a weapon that the Department of Justice placed in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Understanding who knew what, and when about this ill-conceived operation is essential for transparency and accountability, both of which are necessary to maintain the American people's trust in the federal government.
"In February, as Chairman of Oversight on the Homeland Security Committee, I requested the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General investigate the extent of DHS's involvement in Operation Fast and Furious. While the investigation is still ongoing, the Inspector General has personally assured me the investigation is being given the highest priority and will report its findings in the near future."
Sen. John Cornyn, R-San Antonio:
"More than 2,000 U.S. weapons went missing, a federal agent is dead, and Eric Holder has covered up the answers for 18 months. While today's vote could have been avoided, his insistence on stonewalling left no other option but to hold him in contempt of Congress.
"Today's vote affirms the integrity of our system of checks and balances and sends a clear message that justice must always trump politics."
Here's some special bonus reaction from Texas Gov. Rick Perry:
"The U.S. House of Representatives today sent a clear message that it will not allow the Obama Administration to hide its lawless, reckless and deadly actions from the American public. The American people deserve to know what they are hiding, how high this lawlessness goes and why the President's lawyer and best friend is stonewalling.
"I have long called for General Holder's resignation over his involvement in the botched Fast and Furious scandal that led to the tragic death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. General Holder's blatant attempts to mislead members of Congress and the American people, paired with his relentless crusade to erode states' rights, have cost him the trust of this nation, and must be stopped. "
And here's a response from White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer:
"At the beginning of this year, Republicans announced one of their top priorities was to investigate the Administration and to ensure that President Obama was a one-term President. Despite the major economic challenges facing the country, they talked openly about devoting taxpayer-funded, Congressional oversight resources to political purposes.
"The problem of gunwalking was a field-driven tactic that dated back to the George W. Bush Administration, and it was this Administration's Attorney General who ended it. Attorney General Holder has said repeatedly that fighting criminal activity along the Southwest Border – including the illegal trafficking of guns to Mexico has been is a top priority of the Department. Eric Holder has been an excellent Attorney General and just yesterday the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee acknowledged that he had no evidence – or even the suspicion – that the Attorney General knew of the misguided tactics used in this operation.
"Yet, Republicans pushed for political theater rather than legitimate Congressional oversight. Over the past fourteen months, the Justice Department accommodated Congressional investigators, producing 7,600 pages of documents, and testifying at eleven Congressional hearings. In an act of good faith, this week the Administration made an additional offer which would have resulted in the Committee getting unprecedented access to documents dispelling any notion of an intent to mislead. But unfortunately, a politically-motivated agenda prevailed and instead of engaging with the President in efforts to create jobs and grow the economy, today we saw the House of Representatives perform a transparently political stunt."

The Texans-Ravens this weekend are a hot ticket. The hottest in the NFL playoffs, according to Ticketmaster.
Its NFL Ticket Exchange system shows the following average resale prices on playoff tickets:
Houston Texans @ Baltimore Ravens = $451
New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers = $345
New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers = $290
Denver Broncos @ New England Patriots = $113
Super Bowl XLVI = $4,120
Even more interesting is how excited Houston fans are about the Texans. A whopping 17.6 percent of tickets bought in resale have gone to buyers in Texas. That doesn't mean that Texans fans will occupy 17 percent of the stadium, but that points to Texans being all over Houston advancing in the playoffs for the first time.
By comparison, less than one percent (0.5) of tickets resold last week for the Texans-Bengals were to people from Ohio.

Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology
Indigenous Anthropology
Minor in Anthropology
Anthropology is the study of humans and what they think and do. Anthropology embraces a holistic perspective — the big picture — when examining human phenomena, seeking to understand human ideas and behavior as they are influenced by biological, ecological, economic, social, political, cultural and religious factors and realities.
The anthropology major at California State University San Marcos is an applied, collaborative, and interdisciplinary course of study that engages students directly with the interests and efforts of local communities. The anthropology major takes into primary consideration the special role of Cal State San Marcos in the north San Diego county region and the opportunities for community-based research and fieldwork. CSUSM anthropology students gain hands-on field research experience through participation in long-term and on-going research among some of San Diego County's diverse communities.

Miami Heat forward LeBron James is leaving the agency that represents his teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, according to a report in the South Florida Sun SentinelThursday.
The reigning NBA MVP will no longer be represented by the Creative Artists Agency, choosing to instead partner with longtime friend Rich Paul. According to the Sun Sentinel, Paul's client list also includes Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Tristan Thompson and Jonny Flynn.
Leon Rose had represented James since 2005, and joined CAA in 2007. Wade and Bosh are represented by Henry Thomas. Both teammates had been made aware of James' move.
The fact that all three players were represented by the same agency is among the factors that brought the three together in Miami during the summer of 2010.
A source told the Sun Sentinel that although James can opt out of his Heat contract in 2014, that played no role in his decision to switch agencies. The new agency can only begin collecting fees on new contracts, and not his existing Heat contract.
James and Paul are already linked through the LRMR Marketing Company, a joint venture that also includes James' longtime friends and associates Maverick Carter and Randy Mims. LRMR helped facilitate James' marketing deal with Fenway Sports Group and his ownership stake in Liverpool FC of the English Premier League.
James and the Heat open training camp later this month, with the opening game of the 2012-2013 season coming on Oct. 30.

ST. CLOUD — A University of Minnesota Duluth student who suffered severe frostbite after a night in subzero temperatures is now walking normally, handling everyday tasks and planning to return to school next fall.
Alyssa Lommel told the St. Cloud Times that she's had some difficult days over the past four months, including dealing with the loss of parts of her hands and feet. She said she's gotten through the hard times with the support of friends, family and strangers.
"There was tears shed and it was definitely hard, but after a while you realize, 'That's just me,' " Lommel said. "That is how I am. This is the new me."
Lommel, 19, was found unconscious in Duluth on Dec. 7. She had been outside for nine hours on a night when temperatures got as low as minus 17 degrees. Her body temperature had dropped to 79 degrees Farenheit, which is a few degrees below the point at which the heart stops functioning normally, and her hands had swollen to three times their normal size.
She spent weeks in a coma at the burn center at St. Paul's Regions Hospital. Doctors cut open her arms to relieve swelling and restart circulation, and cut open her stomach to give her lungs room to expand.
"We were all prepared to say goodbye at one point," said her mother, Teri Lommel.
Just four months later, though, Alyssa Lommel is walking normally and no longer needs special boots to protect skin grafts on her heels. She uses special tools to put on makeup and feed herself, and can even text and use touch-screen computers.
She is currently living at her parents' house in St. Cloud. Despite amputations up to the knuckles of fingers on both hands and parts of both her feet, the college sophomore plans to return to the Duluth campus in the fall to continue her studies in psychology and sociology.
"Obviously, there is going to be a lot of work that needs to be done, but my goal is to be up in Duluth in the fall," Lommel said. "I have all my classes picked out with the times and everything. I'm one of those nerds — I'm so excited to get back to school."
Each step in her recovery has pushed her on to something new. After using a feeding tube, she was allowed to eat applesauce. After only being allowed to consume thick liquids, she was able to drink a Diet Coke. Each time she went to physical therapy, she was able to walk farther.
"Alyssa has an inner strength," said Mikki Rothbauer, a social worker at Regions. "She handled everything the same: She is overwhelmed, she thinks it through, she deals with it head-on and then she overcomes it."
"I can do anything if I put my mind to it. It's just different than how I used to," she said.
At first, Lommel covered her amputations in public. Now, she goes out just as she is.
"Now I'm just confident — 'This is who I am,' " Lommel said. "If you want to look and stare, go ahead. If you have questions, just ask. I am happy with where I am today."
Since the incident, many people have speculated about how Lommel ended up in the cold overnight.
"People can say that I was underage drinking in college and that's what caused it, but in reality had it been a sunny day, I would've woken up and been like, 'Oh my gosh, what am I doing here,' " Lommel said. "I just want people to be aware that this happens to people all the time, unfortunately. Beware of the cold."
Lommel said that before this experience, she thought she wanted to be an addictions counselor. Now she wants to be a social worker.
"I've always wanted to help other people," Lommel said. "Now I am in a position where I have been through a lot and I can help other people realize that they can come through, too."

Frontovers and Backovers
Did You Know?
- Sport utility vehicles and trucks are involved in more backover incidents than cars.
- Drivers in backover and frontover deaths are often family members or friends of the injured child.
- Before getting in a vehicle, all drivers, even those without children of their own, should walk all the way around their parked vehicles to check for children, or anything that could attract a child, such as a pet or toy.
Working For Change
In an effort to raise awareness about protecting kids in and around vehicles, Safe Kids created a program called Spot The Tot. This initiative teaches families about preventable injuries that occur in driveways and parking lots when drivers are unaware that children are near vehicles. It also provides tips on how to spot kids and avoid an unintentional frontover or backover incident.
Our work to prevent frontover and backover injuries is made possible by General Motors and the General Motors Foundation, widely recognized for their continuing commitment and dedication to children and families.
Safe Kids also supports the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's (NHTSA) "Where's baby? Look before you lock" campaign. We work closely with NHTSA Administrator David Strickland and his team, who have taken the lead on child passenger safety and what needs to be done to keep our kids safe in and around vehicles.
Additional Resources
We also offer the following tools to teach and remind families about child pedestrian safety:

If you just want to get stuck in and download it then head over to http://code.google.com/p/zaproxy/downloads/list : it's available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
(Note that the Mac OS specific release is coming soon, but the Linux release is actually cross platform and will work fine on Macs)
And if you want to learn a bit more about the changes then read on...
We can only cover the new features at a high level in one blog post, but the plan is to host a Google hangout demonstrating many of these features at 17:00 UTC on Friday 8th Feb. Details to be announced via https://twitter.com/zaproxy
Simon will also be presenting a talk at FOSDEM on Feb 2nd: Practical Security for developers, using OWASP ZAP
New featuresAn integrated add-ons marketplace
ZAP can be extended by add-ons that have full access to all of the ZAP internals. Anyone can write add-ons and upload them to the ZAP Add-on Marketplace (OK, so its a Google code project called zap-extensions, but you get the idea).
More importantly you can now browse, download and install those add-ons from within ZAP. Most add-ons can be dynamically installed (and uninstalled) so you wont even need a restart.
You can choose to be notified of updates, and even be automatically updated. And as the scan rules are now implemented as add-ons you can get the latest rules as soon as they are published.
A replacement for the 'standard' Spider
The 'old' Spider was showing its age, so its been completely rewritten, and is much faster and more comprehensive than the old one. This is still a 'traditional' spider that analyses the HTML code for any links it can find.
A new 'Ajax' spider
Web Socket support
ZAP now supports WebSockets, so ZAP can now see all WebSocket messages sent to and from your browser. As with HTTP based messages, ZAP can also intercept WebSocket messages and allows you to change them on the fly.
You can also fuzz WebSockets messages as well using all of the fuzzing payloads included in ZAP from projects like JBroFuzz and fuzzdb. And of course you can easily add your own fuzzing files.
Quick Start tab
The first main tab you will now see is a 'Quick Start' tab which allows you to just type in a URL and scan it with one click.
This is an ideal starting point for people new to application security, but experts can easily remove it if they find it distracting.
Session awareness
ZAP is now session aware, so it can recognise and keep track of multiple sessions. It allows you to create new sessions, switch between them, and applies to all of the other components, like the Spider and Active Scanner.
User defined Contexts
You can now define any number of 'contexts' - related sets of URLs which make up an application. You can then target all URLs in a context, for example using the Spider or Active Scanner. You can also add the contexts to the scope, and associate other information, such as authentication details.
Session scope
The session scope allows you to specify which contexts you are interested at any one time. You can restrict what you see in various tabs to just the URLs in scope, and prevent accidentally attacking URLs not in scope by using the Protected mode.
Different modes
ZAP now supports 3 modes:
- Safe, in which no potentially dangerous operations permitted
- Protected, in which you can perform any actions on URLs in scope
- Standard, in which you can do anything to any URLs
A scripting console
This allows you to access any internal ZAP data structures dynamically using any scripting language that supports JSR 223,
Authentication handling
You can now associate authentication details with any context, which allows ZAP to do things like detect if and when you are logged out and automatically log you back in again. This is especially useful when used via the API in security regression tests.
More API support
The REST API has been significantly extended, giving you much more access to the functionality ZAP provides.
Fine grained scanning controls
The active scan rules can now be tuned to adjust their strength (the number of attacks they perform) and the threshold at which they report potential issues.
New and improved active and passive scanning rules
We have uploaded the results from running ZAP 2.0.0 against wavsep (the most comprehensive open source evaluation project we are aware of) to the ZAP wiki: http://code.google.com/p/zaproxy/wiki/TestingWavsep
And a special mention to the 3 Google Summer of Code students who implemented key features in this release:
- Cosmin Stefan : Spider and Session awareness
- Guifre Ruiz : Ajax Spider
- Robert Koch : WebSockets
If you have any questions about this release then you can add a comment here or post them to the ZAP users group.

CAPE CARTERET � The first day of school was a family affair for the Lowe family of Carteret County.
Joe and Allana Lowe of Cape Carteret dropped off their two children Monday at White Oak Elementary School.
First stop was the kindergarten class for 5-year-old Autumn.
�It�s very hard because she�s my baby,� said Allana Lowe as she left her daughter at her classroom door. Grandmother Donna Lowe said it�s bittersweet to see her grandchildren growing up so fast, but she�s excited to see their enthusiasm for school.
�I remember when she was born and now she�s starting school. They grow up so fast, but she�s excited and has been asking �When do we start school,�� Donna Lowe said.
While Autumn was quiet as she waited for the bell to ring, her older brother Joseph, who is beginning second grade, was ready to get the school year started.
What does he like about school? �Everything,� he said.
More than 8,000 students headed back to class in Carteret County and the enthusiasm of a new school year showed among students, parents and teachers.
�The first day of school is always exciting. It�s like a ball of energy coming through the door,� White Oak Elementary School Principal Roxann Everett said.
At Bogue Sound Elementary it was a smooth start to the day with mainly routine questions about bus routes and class schedules from parents, and lots of excitement among the students.
�The kids are very happy with smiles all around and a positive atmosphere,� Assistant Principal Kimberly Hughes said.
After 18 years teaching in the classroom, Hughes is taking on a new role as an administrator.
�I will miss that one-on-one interaction with the students daily in the classroom every day, but I�m excited to take on this new role and a new challenge,� she said. �And in a way, I�ll be interacting with even more students.�
Back at White Oak Elementary School, the first day of school was also a first for new teacher Liz Nikorak.
�I�m super excited,� said Nikorak as she welcomed her first students.
As a kindergarten teacher, she looks forward to helping build a foundation for students just beginning their education.
�I love that they are just starting out and I get to be teaching them from the beginning,� she said.
Parents Brad and Nicolle Johnson of Cedar Point dropped of their daughter, 5-year-old Izzy, who is starting kindergarten.
Having a child beginning school is a milestone to remember and one they were anxious to see arrive.
�We are excited for her, and she was excited and all ready to go,� Nicolle Johnson said.
