Steve was a lifelong area resident. He graduated from Laker High School in 1971. Steve was a production technician for Dow AgroSience for the past four years, and he and Judy were proud managers of Beadle Bay Marina and Campground this past season.
Steve loved being outdoors, feeding wildlife, yardwork, spoiling his nieces and nephews (he was Uncle Steve to many people), eating Vernetas pie and wearing comfy old clothes.
Steves friendly smile, generous spirit, giant bear hugs, sense of humor and caring ways will be missed by the many people who loved him.

There's an anecdote the Calhoun School's Steve Nelson likes to share when he speaks to teachers and parents about the purpose of education. "We should think of our children as wildflower seeds in an unmarked package," he says. "We can't know what will emerge. All we can do is plant them in fertile soil, give them plenty of water and sunlight, and wait patiently to see the uniqueness of their beauty."
At a time when too many students are still being planted in highly cultivated gardens – trimmed and pruned to resemble each other closely – it is incumbent upon all of us to stand on the side of the unmarked package. And at a time when we stray further and further from our democratic roots – from Chicago to DC – it is essential we heed the words of Mission Hill founder Deborah Meier, who reminds us that "democracy rests on having respect for the judgment of ordinary people."

Oakville Centenial – 1959
Excerpt from Oakville's 1959 Centennial Guide:
Prior to the time Mehlville incorporated the Fire District in 1954, Oakville had been protected by volunteers from the Mehlville Fire Department. In 1954 the Mehlville Fire Protection District had been approved by the voters of the District. At that time the district started hiring full-time firemen.
At the present time, the engine house has six men assigned to the fire service working twenty-four hour shifts and each man working a total of eighty-four hours a week.
Since the engine house has been put into service, the fire losses have dropped considerably and residents of Oakville are looking forward to a lower insurance rate which will be possible as soon as more hydrants are in service in the Oakville area.

Red Sox to assess options at short with Aviles gone
Limbo would be a fair characterization. Jose Iglesias might get the chance to win the job in Spring Training. But general manager Ben Cherington said to stay tuned.
"We believe Jose is ready to be a Major League shortstop, but we're not ready to commit to that," Cherington said. "We'll look for ways to improve the team, and shortstop could be one of those areas.
"We'll see what opportunities exist. If there are ways to improve the team in other ways, we'll do that too. He can help a Major League team, particularly, if the rest of the roster is set up right."
In other words, the Red Sox would have to have a solid offensive player at nearly every other position to bank on Iglesias at shortstop at this point of the game. Already a plus defender, Iglesias struggled mightily at the plate during his late-season audition with the big league club, hitting .118 with a homer and two RBIs in 68 at-bats.
"Good defender," said Farrell. "Showed good range, particularly to his glove side. A couple of times, you saw him get the bat head out and take some aggressive swings. There were other times he got tied up a little bit offensively. Whether it's a matter of strength, whether it's a matter of timing in his swing, we'll find more out about that as we get deeper here."
Pedro Ciriaco is another player who could be part of Boston's shortstop solution next season. He was solid as a utility player in 2012.

Institutions of Excellence in the First College Year
In 2002, the Policy Center on the First Year of College undertook a national study to identify and describe, through in-depth case studies, a variety of "Institutions of Excellence in the First College Year." These case studies were published by Jossey-Bass in 2005 book entitled Achieving and Sustaining Institutional Excellence for the First Year of College.
The Policy Center issued a national call for nominations for Institutions of Excellence in early 2002. Colleges and universities were invited to self-nominate by submitting short narrative descriptions of their first-year initiatives. From the 130 nominations received, an initial group of 54 semifinalists were selected.
Following additional review of institutional materials, 13 campuses representing all sectors of American higher education were chosen from the 54 semi-finalists as Institutions of Excellence—campuses exemplifying best practice in the first year according to the following five criteria:
- Evidence of an intentional, comprehensive approach to the first year that is appropriate to the institutions type
- Evidence of assessment of the various initiatives that constitute this approach
- Evidence of broad impact on significant numbers of first-year students, including, but not limited to, special student sub-populations
- Strong administrative support for first-year initiatives, evidence of institutionalization, and durability over time
- Involvement of a wide range of faculty, student affairs professionals, academic administrators, and other constituent groups
Click on the institutions' names as listed below to view the two-page narrative submitted by each Institution of Excellence describing its first-year programs and first-year assessment.

Seachem?s Live Bearer/Brackish Aquarium Salt? is a chemically sound blend of salts designed to replicate the native environment of live bearers and other brackish estuary fish without adversely impacting on aquatic plants when used at regionally specific recommended dosage. The salt is also well suited for routine aquarium freshwater use. It does not impact pH or provide buffering. For low range pH control use Acid Buffer?, Discus Buffer?, South American Cichlid Buffer 4.5?, or Acid Regulator?. Use Neutral Regulator?, Central American Cichlid Buffer? or South American Cichlid Buffer 7.0? for neutral pH. For high range pH control use Alkaline Regulator?, Alkaline Buffer? or Tanganyika Buffer?.
DIRECTIONS: Use when setting up an aquarium and when making water changes. To add salt to an established tank, do so gradually. It is best to dissolve the salt in freshwater before use. Avoid using salt when simply replacing evaporated water. ? For live bearers (such as guppies, swordtails, platies, some mollies), use 20 g (~1 tablespoon) for each 40 L (10 gallons*). ? For estuary fish from the Yucatan or Sri Lanka (Archers, Chromides, some mollies), use 15 g (~2 teaspoons) for each 12 L (3 gallons*). ? For estuary fish from Thailand, Cambodia, Borneo, or Sumatra (Datinoides), use 40 g (~2 tablespoons) per 12 L (3 gallons*). ? For scats, use up to 80 g (~4 tablespoons) per 12 L (3 gallons*). This dose is not for planted aquaria. ? l For mixed populations, use an average dose, representative of species present. For specific information on your fish, check with your dealer or reference an atlas. ? l For general aquarium salt use (either for mineral replacement or disease control), use 20?g (~1 tablespoon) for each 40 L (10 gallons*).

Indoor Tanning Increases Risk of Skin Cancer Including Deadly Melanoma
Think Twice Before Tanning for Prom Season
March 21, 2011 (New York, NY) - Despite a link between indoor tanning bed use and an increased risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, 2.3 million teenagers visit tanning salons every year. In the spring, many tanning salon patrons are college students getting ready for spring formals, and high school students gearing up for prom season. So it's no surprise that melanoma is now the most common form of cancer in young adults 25-29 years old, and the second most common form of cancer in adolescents and young adults ages 15-29.
"The damage caused by the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from tanning beds and the sun is cumulative and often irreversible, and the earlier people start to tan, the higher their risk of developing skin cancer in their lifetimes," said Perry Robins, MD, President, The Skin Cancer Foundation. "In fact, melanoma risk increases by 75 percent when indoor tanning begins before age 35."
If the threat of skin cancer isn't enough to scare young people away from tanning salons, they should know that 90 percent of visible skin changes commonly attributed to aging are caused by exposure to UV radiation. Tanning accelerates the signs of aging, including wrinkles, leathering and fine lines, which can be seen as early as in one's twenties.
In addition to being dangerous and damaging to the skin, tanning is completely out of step with current fashion trends. The three leading ladies of the 2011 Oscars, Natalie Portman (Best Actress), Melissa Leo (Best Supporting Actress) and Anne Hathaway (co-host), led the way with beautiful, untanned skin. While the fashion reviews were mixed, all agree that healthy, luminous skin was the accessory of choice.
Other Hollywood heavy hitters- including Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, Scarlett Johansson, Annette Bening, and Jennifer Hudson- know that naturally radiant skin is what looks best on the red carpet. Cleary, the tanned look has lost its appeal.
About The Skin Cancer Foundation
The Skin Cancer Foundation is the only global organization solely devoted to the prevention, early detection and treatment of skin cancer. The mission of the Foundation is to decrease the incidence of skin cancer through public and professional education and research. For more information, visit www.SkinCancer.org.

The year prior we toured the Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, so when we were in Bardstown I wanted to be sure to see the other part of their operation in Cox's Creek. Daily, big tanker trucks full of distillate make the drive from Lawrenceburg to the Warehouse and Bottling facility. The cargo is put into barrels and rolled into warehouses. When ready, those barrels are also dumped and bottled here.
Four Roses opened a new visitors center here in 2014. Most visitors check out the distillery, but there's plenty to see out in Cox's Creek to be worth the drive. Cox's Creek is just a short drive up from Bardstown and a few minutes from Jim Beam. We were planning to drive up to Louisville for the day, so we were there for the opening. It was a crisp fall morning and we were the only people ready for Bourbon at 9 AM, so we got a private tour.
We jumped into a big cargo van and drove to the barreling facility. Here they both fill new barrels and dump old barrels. Work was well underway so we got plenty of time to watch a lot of barrels be emptied. At Four Roses there are two lines where Small Batch and the regular Yellow Label are dumped. Selected barrels are lined up in a row, un-bunged, rolled, and then dumped into a trough. There's a smaller trough for single barrel selections, whether done for the Four Roses Single Barrel or the Private Selection for stores or the gift shop.
Once emptied, the Bourbon is transferred to a filtering process. While all the Bourbon is paper filtered for barrel sediment, all Four Roses Bourbon except for the Private Selection are also chill filtered. Chill filtering is the process of crashing the temperature of the Bourbon down to precipitate compounds out of solution. If this step isn't done, the condition may happen in the glass when chilled with ice. Largely this isn't necessary for Bourbon of more than 90-proof or so, but Four Roses processes all its standard product this way. Personally, I prefer non-chill filtered and a little haze wouldn't bother me in the least.
From there, the bottling line is just the next room over. Four Roses is building a new bottling facility that will sit just behind this complex of buildings. The old line is very small and on the day we visited they were having issues with the labeler. From the sound and looks of things, I think everyone at Four Roses is excited for a new modern bottling line.
From the barreling and bottling area, we jumped back into the van and drove over to a warehouse. As I've written before, Four Roses' warehouses are unique to other distilleries. Built by Seagram's, the warehouses were intended to be a central hub for Bourbon made in Seagram's various distilleries in Kentucky. The warehouses have a unique design of long single story buildings. Typically Bourbon rick houses are five or six stories high. In the Kentucky weather, each story is its own microclimate and it greatly affects the aging of Bourbon. Four Roses doesn't have the same type of variation with a single story structure.
Still, there is a lot of variation to be found. While the warehouses are single floor, barrels are stacked six high. Even on the same floor, there are significant differences between the lower and upper barrels. With the Private Selection, you can observe this in the barrel proof with the lower barrels losing less water and resulting in lower alcohol and the upper with high alcohol content. Other changes are likely related to where barrels are stored. The warehouses are very large and central barrels likely experience less variation still than those nearer the walls.
What's great about Four Roses is all this information is on their Single Barrel and Private Selections. You can know which warehouse by letter, the direction (north, south, east, west) the barrel's nearest wall, which rack its on by letter and finally it's tier 1-6. Between its 10 recipes and unique barrel aging, Four Roses says it's happy to be so transparent because it's confident no one can duplicate what they do.
After we had looked at enough full barrels, we got back into the van and headed to the gift shop. The tour ended with tastings of the Yellow Label, Small Batch, and Single Barrel. Along with the tasting, you keep to keep your glass, which is a nice heavy rocks glass with the Four Roses logo on the bottom. These are my favorite Bourbon glasses and you can only get one by doing the tasting.
Inside the gift shop they have the various Bourbon and Kentucky trinkets. The big draw is the Private Selection bottles available for sale. When we were there, long-time master distiller Jim Rutledge had just retired and there had been a run on barrels he picked. The distillery was sold out, but Cox's Creek had a bunch. I picked up a bottle from Jim's last barrel selection and one of Brent Elliot's (the new master distiller) first picks.
I'm a Four Roses fan, so this was a must stop for me, but it's also worth making the drive if you're around Bardstown or checking out Jim Beam. I'll be curious to stop by again some day to see their new bottling line and get some more glasses.

Arizona edges UTSA
Updated 1:14 pm, Friday, September 5, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — The UTSA Roadrunners were not interested in moral victories Thursday night.
They wanted to make a little more history.
In the end, the Arizona Wildcats escaped with a 26-23 decision over the Roadrunners in front of 33,472 fans at the Alamodome.
"Obviously a very disappointing loss for us," UTSA coach Larry Coker said. "I was really proud of our team. They fought hard. They were down. We fought back.
"We were on the mat. We got off the mat ... and had some chances. I'm really proud of the way we played."
Two freshmen led the Wildcats, a team receiving votes in the AP 25 poll, to a closer-than-expected victory over the fourth-year Roadrunners.

Running back Nick Wilson paced the rushing attack, racing for 174 yards and a second-half touchdown.
Quarterback Anu Solomon threw for 231 yards and one touchdown, which came on an 85-yard TD pass to Cayleb Jones on the first play from scrimmage.
Only after defensive back Jared Tevis intercepted UTSA quarterback Tucker Carter with a little more than a minute remaining, could the Wildcats secure the victory.
"That'll take some years off your life," Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said later.
With the victory, Arizona improved to 2-0 on the season. UTSA, meanwhile, fell to 1-1.
Carter, in his second career start for the Roadrunners, hit 22 of 33 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown.
Carter led a fourth-quarter drive that cut the lead to the eventual three points.
But UTSA failed to get anything out of its last few possessions.
The key play late in the game came when Carter scrambled to try and find an open receiver.
His shovel pass was intercepted by Tevis with a little more than a minute remaining.
"We definitely feel like we let one get away," Carter said. "We're not going into any of these games
trying to keep it close or anything like that.
"We expected to win the game tonight and (were) a couple of plays away."
Earlier in the fourth quarter, the Roadrunners had the crowd on its feet during an eight-play, 80-yard drive.
Tight end David Morgan made a leaping, twisting catch for 25 yards to the Arizona 11.
A few plays later, Glasco scored on a 3-yard run.

Management consulting and tech services giant Accenture on Monday agreed to acquire Denver- based software maker Mortgage Cadence, a provider of loan origination software and electronic document management services.
Financial terms weren't disclosed. Mortgage Cadence employs 190 people nationwide.
As part of the deal, expected to close in about a month, Mortgage Cadence will become part of Accenture and its software will be incorporated into a business unit that provides consulting, technology and outsourcing services to financial institutions.
Privately held Mortgage Cadence provides loan origination software solutions for large and mid-sized residential mortgage lenders. Its software supports mortgage origination, processing, underwriting, closing and other services.
"Traditional loan origination technologies have become too complex and cumbersome to meet today's market demands," said Michael Detwiler, CEO of Mortgage Cadence, in a statement. "Because our software is rules-based and highly configurable, it can help lenders accelerate new product introductions, more easily adapt to changing regulatory requirements, and reduce overall cost structures."
Accenture Credit Services will use Mortgage Cadence technology to process mortgages on behalf of outsourcing clients. The technology will also be offered to lenders through Accenture Software as part of its banking-software portfolio.
"The U.S. mortgage industry is entering an era in which efficiency, speed and the customer experience will be more crucial than ever in determining winners and losers," said Terry Moore, global managing director of Accenture Credit Services, in a statement. "By adding this key mortgage processing asset, we will enhance our end-to-end credit services capabilities and bring a new generation of mortgage processing services to the industry."

Early action to stop them from multiplying is critical in controlling stink bugs.
Spokane, WA (PRWEB) March 31, 2014
Stink bugs are no joke. When they wake from hibernation this spring they have only one thing on their mind: mating. Once they mate, two stink bugs become hundreds in a matter of weeks.
"April 1 is the start of the stink bug mating season," says Rod Schneidmiller, president of Sterling International and developer of the environmentally responsible insect control line, RESCUE!®. "This is when their numbers begin to multiply exponentially, as a single female stink bug can lay up to 400 eggs over the course of a summer."
Experts recommend trapping emerging stink bugs now when they're most vulnerable and before they begin to reproduce and ravage flowers and vegetables this summer.
"Early action to stop them from multiplying is critical in controlling stink bugs," says Schneidmiller. "Once baby stink bugs start to mature, they have ravenous appetites and will eat everything from tomatoes and peppers to apples and peaches."
What breaks the lifecycle and stops them from multiplying? The RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap. New, patented pheromone attractants lure and trap stink bugs from up to 30 feet away.
"The myth that traps lure stink bugs from miles away is not true," Schneidmiller explains. "When they're hungry, they'll find your yard and garden if there's something for them to eat."
The key is to start early, Schneidmiller says. "If you wait until you have thousands of stink bugs around your home in the fall, you're not going to be able to wipe out a large population."
The best place for the RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap in spring is a tree where emerging bugs will head to mate, usually one that has sprouted new spring leaves. If such a tree is not available, hang the trap from a fence, stake or post.
Schneidmiller suggests spacing traps every 20 to 30 feet around the perimeter of your garden to provide protection from flying adult stink bugs throughout the growing season.
For every female stink bug trapped during mating season, up to 400 stink bugs that would mature into adulthood are eliminated. By placing the RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap outdoors on April 1, homeowners are taking a preemptive strike against stink bugs and stopping their life cycle entirely.
For more information on stink bugs, their lifecycle and how to trap them, check out the stink bugs information on the RESCUE!® web site.
Established in 1982, Sterling International, Inc. offers RESCUE!® traps and attractants for stink bugs, wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, flies, Japanese and Oriental beetles and more. These products are prominently on shelves at home improvement centers, hardware stores and lawn & garden retailers throughout the U.S. and Canada. Find the closest retailer here.

John Oliver on Lead

Posted: 1 year ago
John Oliver explains the harms of lead in its various forms throughout America today. One of the best pieces from Last Week Tonight I've seen.
I'd also appreciate opinions on what sort of reform you think should be passed. The episode supports nationwide major restrictions on lead, and there are two justifications: (1) reduces suffering and deaths of multiple people, and (2) it's cost-productive (e.g. with increases in productivity). So do you think such reform is justified?
He also talks -- though not in much detail -- about the issue in Flint, Michigan, with regards to lead pipes, and similar issues in other places all over the U.S.
"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe." - Frederick Douglass

Eric Foreman sure would have a lot to say about his longtime rival--and sister--being arrested.
Lisa Robin Kelly, who played "Laurie Foreman" on Fox's hit "That 70's Show", was arrested this weekend for spousal abuse against John Michas. The actress is denying the allegations against her, however, saying on her Facebook account that Michas is just trying to get her into trouble and ruin her career.
Kelly, 42, left the popular television show during it's third season; her character was written out to attend beauty college. She made a few more appearances in the fifth season but was permanently replaced by Christina Moore in the sixth. Kelly was arrested in 2010 on a drunk driving charge, receiving a fine and probation.
Kelly's disheveled mug shot--provided by TMZ--has led some fans to believe drugs were involved.

ESRI has notified us (after notifying its staff and those involved) that is now holding the Business GIS Summit at the same time and location as the ESRI International User Conference at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego,California this July. Events start Sunday July 12 and run through Wednesday July 15;full details here.
ESRI highlighted the benefits of the change for attendees,though I suspect some other factors impacted the decision to move the event from May 4?6,2009,at the Westin Tabor Center in Denver,Colorado. The decision was clearly made quite recently as the keynote speaker was announced on March 26th.

2008 and 2010 Singapore Grand Prix
Flashback of the Singapore Grand Prix of 2008 and 2010india Updated: Oct 07, 2011 11:13 IST
2008 Singapore Grand Prix: The inaugural event was won Fernando Alonso in his unfancied Renault after he benefited from teammate Nelson Piquet Jr. crashing and bringing out the safety car. Turns out that the crash was intentional and it lead to Renault boss Flavio Briatore being banned from F1.
2010 Singapore Grand Prix: Fernando Alonso won the race fair and square for Ferrari but that was not the highlight of this event. That was without a doubt Renault's Robert Kubica who passed six cars within the space of a few laps after making an unscheduled stop from sixth place due to a right rear puncture.

The Effingham County Sheriff's Office is now using a new service, OffenderWatch, to gather and share information about registered sex offenders living in Effingham County.
Online access to the sex offender registry has been available for a few years, but OffenderWatch has additional search features not previously offered.
"Now, through the partnership with OffenderWatch, we are able to offer new features that enable you to search specific addresses and receive alerts when a sex offender registers within a specific geographic area," Sheriff Jimmy McDuffie said.
OffenderWatch allows searches for sex offenders living in proximity to homes, work, school or day care.
The purpose of this program is to ease concerns by proactively alerting residents should an offender move to an area near them, Effingham County Sheriff's Office spokesman David Ehsanipoor said.
The information is updated and shared with users as it is received and verified. Sign-ups for email alerts are available through the sheriff's office website.
"We know that the community has an interest in being able to track sex offenders in our county. This program gives them a reliable source for that information and makes it easy to get updates without any charges," McDuffie said.
OffenderWatch is available around the clock, seven days a week on the Effingham County Sheriff's Office website at effinghamsheriff.org.

Kick Suarez out of World Cup - Chiellini
Italian defender demands FIFA show 'courage' and act after becoming the third opponent to be bitten by controversial Uruguayan striker
Giorgio Chiellini demanded that Fifa show the "courage" to ban Luis Suarez from the World Cup after becoming the third opponent to be bitten by the controversial Uruguayan striker.
The Italy defender was left with visible teeth marks on his left shoulder after clashing with Suarez in the 79th minute of Uruguay's 1-0 victory in Natal, a result which confirmed their progression from Group D and eliminated the Italians.
Fifa immediately opened an investigation into what was one of the most shocking episodes of player behaviour in World Cup history.
With Fifa's disciplinary code stipulating a maximum suspension of 24 matches or two years for offences of an extreme nature, Suarez could yet find himself being penalised with a record ban for an on-field incident.
After reacting furiously on the pitch following the incident, which went unseen by the Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez, Juventus defender Chiellini branded Suarez a "sneak" who is protected by Fifa because of his high-profile status.
Suarez served a 10-game ban in the Premier League in 2013 for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic, having committed the same offence playing for Ajax three years earlier.
"Suarez is a sneak and he gets away with it because Fifa want their stars to play in the World Cup," Chiellini said.
"I would love to see if they have the courage to do anything against him. It was ridiculous not to send Suarez off. It is clear, clear-cut.
"And then there was the obvious dive afterwards because he knew very well that he did something that he shouldn't have done."
Suarez said of the bite claims: "These situations happen on the field. I had contact with his shoulder, nothing more, things like that happen all the time."
He added on possible action by the game's ruling body: "I don't know anything, if Fifa analyse each case separately it's going to be complicated."
Despite photographic evidence supporting Chiellini's claim to have been bitten, the centre-half was accused of "crying" by Uruguay's injured captain Diego Lugano.
"The worst of everything is the attitude of Chiellini," Lugano said. "He's a great player with an enormous status, but it doesn't correspond with Italian football as sportsmen leaving the field, crying and appealing against a rival. As a man, he disappointed me."
A Fifa spokesperson said: "We are awaiting the official match reports and will gather all the necessary elements in order to evaluate the matter."
Suarez, who was suspended for seven games by the Dutch FA for biting PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal while playing for Ajax in November 2010, grinned as he walked through the post-match interview area when asked repeatedly whether he had bitten Chiellini.
Despite the shocking nature of the incident, Suarez was defended by the Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez, who accused the media of a witch hunt.
"There seems there is animosity against this player," Tabarez said. "He just came out of a difficult moment and he has been penalised, but there are people hiding behind the tree waiting for something to happen."
Italy manager Cesare Prandelli, who announced his resignation following his team's defeat, supported Chiellini's claims by admitting he had seen the injury to the defender's shoulder.
"I didn't see the images of Suarez but I did see the bite marks in Chiellini's shoulder," Prandelli said. "It is a shame, a real shame. The assistants of the referee were so busy, they didn't see anything." (© Daily Telegraph, London)

Alessandro Del Piero starts in his final game at the Juventus Stadium, wearing the captain's armband against Atalanta.
The veteran's contract expires next month and the only remaining official fixture of the season is the Coppa Italia Final with Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on May 20.
Coach Antonio Conte confirmed he would give Del Piero a spot in the starting XI and the armband as the Turin giants celebrate the Scudetto.
This game will be followed by the presentation of the Serie A trophy, then a tour through the streets of the city in an open-topped bus, which is expected to see 100,000 fans flock to celebrate.
There is almost a full squad to choose from, as Paolo De Ceglie is injured and Arturo Vidal sits out a ban.
Marco Storari, Marcelo Estigarribia, Luca Marrone, Simone Padoin and Marco Borriello are given rare starts to join in the Scudetto party.
The team can make history by ending the season unbeaten and taking the title, something only ever achieved by Fabio Capello's Milan in 1991-92 in a 34-round Serie A.
Atalanta are already safe from the drop, though Guglielmo Stendardo is suspended with Matteo Brighi, Guido Marilungo, Daniele Capelli, Andrea Consigli and Simone Tiribocchi sidelined.
Juventus: Storari; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Estigarribia; Marrone, Pirlo, Padoin; Giaccherini, Borriello, Del Piero
Juventus bench: Manninger, Barzagli, Marchisio, Pepe, Vucinic, Matri, Quagliarella
Atalanta: Frezzolini; Bellini, Lucchini, Manfredini, Peluso; Schelotto, Carmona, Cazzola, Bonaventura; Moralez; Denis
Atalanta bench: Polito, Ferri, Cigarini, Raimondi, Tiribocchi, Minotti, Gabbiadini

HUD Issues Public Housing Demolition Disposition Notice
HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) issued Notice PIH 2012-7 explaining the process public housing agencies (PHAs) must follow when applying to HUD for approval to demolish and/or dispose of (sell) public housing. NLIHC considers the notice to be very helpful because it emphasizes the requirements for genuine resident consultation and clearly states that applications must be complete so that resident involvement is meaningful.
The primary set of problems identified by public housing residents and advocates entails various forms of inadequate resident consultation. Some PHAs do not consider an application for demolition/disposition to be a "significant amendment" to a PHA Plan; therefore, residents have been denied the ability to review and comment on an application in a public hearing context. When demolition/disposition is mentioned during the PHA Plan process, sometimes the application is not available for residents, or residents only see an application with very little relevant information.
The notice addresses these problems in many ways, most significantly by declaring in several places that demolition/disposition applications constitute a "significant amendment" to the PHA Plan, thereby triggering the PHA Plan process entailing public notice and comment, a public hearing and consultation with the Resident Advisory Board (RAB). It adds that PHAs must undertake reasonable outreach to encourage broad public participation in the PHA Plan hearing.
PHAs should provide a copy of the application to residents, post it on the PHA's website, or make it available for review at the PHA's central office, according to the notice. PHAs should inform residents that they have the right to submit written comments, and that the PHA will respond in writing and submit both residents' comments and the PHA response as part of the application. The notice adds that residents and the public may submit comments on a proposed application directly to HUD.
To address the problem of inadequate information in applications, the notice requires PHAs to provide residents information about the replacement development, including number and affordability of public housing and other replacement units, number of bedrooms per unit, screening and application requirements, and the policy regarding residents' opportunity to return.
Another significant problem experienced by some by residents and advocates has been HUD's approval of applications that had not undergone resident review, or that were incomplete. The notice addresses these problems by declaring that HUD will not process or approve a demolition/disposition application that is incomplete or that does not provide evidence that the PHA has complied with the PHA Plan requirements, which includes resident consultation.
Some PHAs have begun shutting down properties or relocating residents before HUD approval of a demolition/disposition application. The notice clearly declares that PHAs may not begin any demolition or disposition, including resident relocation, before receiving written HUD approval.
Residents and advocates have complained that on occasion HUD would simply accept the PHA's certification that a structure met the HUD definition of "obsolete." According to the notice, HUD will review allegations from residents or advocates that the PHA's certification is inconsistent. In addition, HUD states that a high vacancy rate alone does not justify obsolescence.
NLIHC estimates that the demolition and disposition of public housing still results in the loss of about 10,000 homes annually. "This level of loss of homes affordable to the lowest income people tears a big hole in the American safety net," said Sheila Crowley, President and CEO of the National Low Income Housing Coalition, in a February 2 press release. "We applaud HUD for revisiting the demolition and disposition issue and responding to the very real needs of our country's lowest income people."
"Demolition or disposition might be the right thing to do in some cases, but in the end, it means taking away residents' homes," said George Moses, Chairman of the Board of the National Low Income Housing Coalition and a long-time advocate for public housing residents in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "I am glad that HUD is helping make sure that residents have the opportunity to understand and weigh in on what happens to their homes and their futures."
PIH Notice 2012-7 is available at: www.nlihc.org/doc/HUD_PIH_Notice_2012-7.pdf

Proxy4J is a Java library for creating proxies. The project has recently released a stable snapshot (I'm not going to consider it "1.0" until the remoting is done). I originally created Proxy4J as a spin-off from my development on Workhorse, mainly because I wasn't really satisfied with other libraries out there that do proxying (the Commons Proxy library was the closest I could find, but its inability to leverage Java 5+ made it a non-starter).
Proxy4J was designed to allow you to quickly create a proxy for any one of a number of common use cases:
- Virtual Proxies. Also known as delegation proxies, these proxies simply pass the method invocation directly to the "real subject", which may have some indirection in how it is created or fetched (e.g. the classic lazy-loading proxy).
- Invocation Handlers. These are a direct parallel to proxies in the JDK, with a slight twist to include type safety in the common case where only one interface is being proxied. Method calls on these proxies are passed to an invocation handler which decides how to handle the call.
- Interceptors. These are proxies where one or more interceptors may get called prior to invoking the method on the "real subject". In Proxy4J interceptors are very granular and may be specified on a per-method basis.
Interceptors in particular are pretty slick: they allow you to keep a stack of MethodInterceptors (note that the library supports the AOP Alliance API), which are invoked in order prior to invoking the intercepted method. Proxy4J allows different underlying implementations, including CGLIB, Javassist, and the built-in proxying in the JDK itself.
Documentation for Proxy4J can be found here. You can also download the jar here.

You've seen the Youtube videos of those fantastic front yard displays of Christmas lights dancing to Trans Siberian Orchestra and Mannheim Steamroller, right?
No? I'll wait while you watch.
The cool thing about these displays is that most of them were created by your average Joe using a system called Light-O-Rama. I had heard of it in the past, but I've never used it. Until recently. I was brought in to program and some new fixtures on existing programming for Light up UCF using Light-O-Rama.
The system is modular so you can make it as big or as small as you'd like. They offer some cool options like 8 and 16 way dimmer packs, timed show playback systems, FM transmitters, and a newly added tricolor LED strip.
The concept is great, but the software is where it got a little iffy for me (I admit I was using the first version of the software and Light-O-Rama has recently released Software Suite S2, which appears to be a fix to many peoples concerns).
Programming a sequence starts off as simply as loading a MP3 in the file and clicking little boxes where you want certain lights to turn on and off. You have different effects like fades and shimmers. The problem is is that you are confined to the grid making timing a bit difficult. You can set a grid to adjust to the beats of the music, or set a freeform grid to create points where you want them but I found myself creating as many grids as I did intensity chases. One of the grids saving graces is the ability to tap your own beat (or tap where you want things to happen) and it will build a grid based off that so you can place effects and fades where you need them.
My job was to add LEDs to wash a couple of walls. Every parameter gets its own line, so everything is its own fixture. RGB units, however, can be pseudo merged into a single unit. This is useful for color fades and seeing what color you've actually mixed but beyond that not much else. If I didn't like the timing of something I couldn't just move the effect, I had redraw it. And if I had multiple things going at once I would, for the most part, have to move each one individually.
One of the hardest parts was that there was no real time output while programming. If I made a change it would be blind until I could play the sequence. If something was off, I'd go touch it up blindly and try it again. So much time could be saved if you could just see the output in real time.
After getting over a couple of initial programming hurdles everything started to fly. After two days of programming and finally getting to see a final product, that warm fuzzy Holiday spirit started to kick in.
This is a decent product that is geared for the average consumer and works exceptionally well for that. Combine that with a price point of no single piece above $500 it's really not a bad deal.

In the spirit of the infamous "Saturday Night Live" commercial for Bad Idea Jeans, SFUnzipped's Team Style brings you its year-end roundup of unfortunate products, bad pitches and other fashion woes from 2009.
BAD IDEA: Hiring Lindsay Lohan as your muse
Atherton's Asim Abdullah has long wanted to bring some Silicon Valley innovation to the French fashion house of Emanuel Ungaro, where he is the majority owner. Former CEO Mounir Moufarrige thought the way to reboot the brand's ailing circuitry was to find a celebrity muse to add sizzle — and shouldered the company's decision to pick Lohan. She's attractive enough, and graced the covers of many European fashion mags last year, but stateside is better known for her problems with illicit substances than graceful living. It's said that no publicity is bad publicity, but it's hard to see how Ungaro will recover from all the negative press heaped on Lohan and new designer Estrella Archs during Paris Fashion Week in October for what was generally regarded as a weak Spring 2010 collection. High fashion often leaves people scratching their heads, but this was a real puzzler. Had it succeeded, Moufarrige would have been called a genius. Instead, he got the boot.
BAD IDEA: Men's wallet holster
In a time when gents are rediscovering the trad pleasures of tweed jackets and brogues, little seemed to misjudge the fashion climate more than +Beryll's Peacemaker Holster. Granted, there's little razzle-dazzle in slipping the old library card from a billfold, but aren't quickdraw finances what got us into this mess in the first place? Worst of all is that this heinous harness is meant to be worn over a blazer-less shirt, as if to proudly say, "Nope, still no word back on my 'Fear Factor' audition tape, brah." And at $795 a pop, that library card might end up being the only thing you have left to so menacingly conceal.
BAD IDEA: Visible bra straps
We'll let the actual pitch speak for itself: "Here's a great innovation to stretch your wardrobe in 2010: the bra strap that's meant to be seen! Introducing Lucky Lady Bra Straps, they're like wearing your favorite necklace, on your shoulders."
"Invented by a savvy woman who lost her job and decided to follow her passion for fashion, these savvy straps are great for cocktail dresses to peasant blouses. They are a simple solution to going bra-less or constantly adjusting your strap."
BAD IDEA: Insulting your target customer
A flier for a company called Itty Bitty "bras for bust-challenged women" crossed our desk late in the year. The models all look like particularly scrawny teenage girls. We much prefer the approach of Ellen Shing's Lula Lu lingerie store in San Mateo, profiled in Style earlier this year, which is to treat women with A-cups like adults, who deserve sexy lingerie and not "itty bitty" padded training bras.
BAD IDEA: Eyes on your butt
This might be our favorite Bad Ideas jeans homage, as it actually involves jeans. Apparently Winkers, a Washington state company will add one of five winking eye designs to your jeans, so your butt winks when you walk. Because bad, ill-fitting jeans don't already draw enough attention there.
SO BAD IT'S GOOD?: Lady Gaga
Joel Ryan/AP
It was the year of Lady Gaga, and Style took the obvious next step: If she's busted out this many wacky looks in a year, we're entering Madonnna territory. True, the Lady has a whole design team people *(a.k.a. Haus of Gaga) dreaming up outrageous looks, but love her, hate her, one thing it's hard to do is ignore her.
BAD IDEA … or GOOD IDEA?: Men's shapewear
As fans of women's shapewear and its silhouette-slimming possibilities, we were surprised to hear our Chronicle brethren weren't as excited about testing the Equmen T-shirt. But first Peter Hartlaub then Justin Berton turned up their noses, claiming to not "need" or want such a garment, even if it was selling like crazy in Europe and sold at Neiman's. Even Mr. Pocket Square, Aaron Britt, dismissed the idea of men's shapewear as "girdles for men." Not since the days of "T.J. Hooker" have we seen a product that so obviously squeezes men like sausage casing. No offense, William Shatner, but that's a good thing.
We know you've got your own Bad Ideas contenders … please share them with us.

This is a pretty good one to start out with, just to kind of touch and see different areas of the kernel. The problem of course is that some of it will be difficult to test, as you might not have a certain driver or such. > I have visions of using grep and sed. Grep yes, sed no. Most of these have to be done manually. You have to decide for each printf if it is appropriate to print it allways, or maybe just in verbose boot mode. I think at this point, most of the drivers are converted, so its best to probably work on the core kernel stuff in sys/kern and maybe some of the other subsystems around there. I would suggest converting one file at a time, compiling, and tyring to boot with it, to see if you can get some of the messages to appear. Some of the printfs might be behind a #ifdef DEBUG or otherwise, so you will likely have to turn those options on to actually test compile it. I would then submit a PR as a change request for each one. Long term, this won't keep you interested for very long. It looks like a number of projects were taken off the project page, and placed onto the summer of code page. I would look through the ones on there, as most of the "low" difficulty projects weren't taken. Get your feet wet with this, learn to compile the kernel, test messages, fiddle options, etc, then maybe move on to something a bit harder. Also, make sure you work on -current, and not 4.0 sources. Forward porting patches from 4.0 to -current is almost as much work as just doing it from scratch, so if you do them against 4.0 they are unlikely to be applied. http://www.netbsd.org/contrib/soc-projects.html --- Tim Rightnour <root%garbled.net@localhost> NetBSD: Free multi-architecture OS http://www.netbsd.org/ Genecys: Open Source 3D MMORPG: http://www.genecys.org/

Irish Kidney Association pleas for more organ donors
29/03/2014 - 09:45:58Back to Ireland Home
The Irish Kidney Association is urging people to carry Organ Donor cards as the organisations awareness week gets underway today.
The group says a record number of organ transplants were carried out last year - 294 organs were transplanted in 2013 through living and deceased organ donation.
Pat O'Sullivan from Mallow, Co. Cork, is waiting for a kidney transplant since 2012.
He explains that an organ transplant would "make a massive difference" to him.

Hello I am a 66 yr old female with a previous diagnosis of
in the early 1990's. I choose the iodine treatment and have had good results with that, however upon leaving the Dr's office I was told that under a period of stress a nodule could become active again. Well in March of 2012 our new home in TN.was struck by a Tornado and we were quite lucky.

I saw 2 doctors(endos) they said continue taking these meds and test in 6 weeks. They also agreed that my tests really don't fit
anymore. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I had my cortisol tested in August and it was normal 17 after a fast. Maybe it's piuitary related. All I know is I don't feel well at all. Thanks.

My daughter was diagnosed with
on June 4th. She is 6. Luckily, I'm a teacher and have been able to stay at home with her the past couple of months to get this under control. I feel like our lives have been turned upside down. We started out with a sore throat and a diagnosis from an ENT of Thyroiditis......We ended up seeing a pediatric endocrinologist in an emergency visit because of her heart rate. We've been on methimazole since.

Dr. Lupo , is there anything that will help this disorder. I have
, took RAI in Oct of 08 then a few months later my eyes began swelling and tearing. I have been told there is nothing that can be done. My Eye Doctor says it is a unpredictable disease and will see me again in two months. Is there anything I can do at home , other than tear drops and wait? My Blood work showed TSH at 0.0 and my Free T4 at 1.85 . I know this means I am still Hyper. What should normal levels be?

I was then diagnosed with
. The scary thing is that my doctor told me nothing about risks involved. I saw an endocrinologist 1 and 1/2 months after the diagnosis due to lack of help from my doc and was told that I have to stop exercising and that the tubal ligation I had schedule needed to be cancelled until this is under control. She advised me that I could have died whil under anesthesia. They now have me on a beta blocker until the I 131 on wednesday.

In our world, we tend to look for deeper meanings, causes, and explanations for many things.

down, and take a look at what it is..and why there is no cure for this, and all other diseases of the immune system. Consider the immune system an army. For indeed that is what it is. It patrols and guards, and attacks foreign bodies in a moments notice. The primary protectors of our body are T and B cells.

I have
' too, but my symptoms came on gradually over 5-7 years before being diagnosed. I felt like I was going crazy. Very rapid heart beat, high blood pressure, anxiety, muscle cramping, ect. I also have TED. I was diagnosed and a month later had RAI, because my hyper symptoms where so bad and they said my high heat rate could be dangerous. About 6 months after RAI I had gone completely hypo, due to my drs lack of knowledge. I could barley move and was a complete mess.

Today is the 3rd day after my treatment to destroy my thyroid gland. So far I feel ok. Yesterday was not a good day. I felt prety awful by the end of the day. Michael came home and I cried and told him I felt like ****. He was empathetic for about a minute and then told me that I was going to be ok and to stop crying. He also said he wished he could hug me but since I have to be away from everyone for a freaking week that is not possible. I really want to get better.

In 2002 about 6 mos after my 3rd child was born I was diagnosed with
inwhich I had radiation treatment on my thyroid gland and have been on synthroid or Levothyroxine ever since, every day. In 5 years I have never had normal TSH readings I have always been too high hyperthyroidisim or too low hypothyroidisim, 4 endocronologysts and noone has shown sympathy to my many powerful symptyms of this disease that have been ripping my life apart. There's more.

This appears to be

I know that seeing an Endo is really out of the question right now, and Endo's are really not required to have
. They are good, but almost any medical doctor can treat
as long as they know what they are doing, and are willing to do it. Most MD will treat Graves as long as you have medical records showing infact that this is what is has(that would mean taking labs with you from when she was Dxed with Graves).

Have you visited an eye doctor that specializes in
? I am showing the beginning signs of
in my eyes. I also have Sjogren's
, which is an autoimmune disease. Our bodies are fighting ourselves, and keeping our immune systems up is definately an important step. I do get an odd feeling that comes over me, and I sweat horribly which can cause me to feel a bit anxious. Do you feel like that at times?

Before hyperthyroidism was recognized as a disease many patients with
were put in asylums. Your husband needs proper
plus other medication to help him get through all this rage. Until he gets proper treatment you are doing right by being away from him, because some can and have been known to, commit acts of violence. Good luck to both of you. I hope you can get it all resolved, including your marriage.

It's not all that uncommon to develop the autoimmune
so this might be a reason that your doctor is hesitant. since it is a bad thing (I will be on medication now for the rest of my life) - and it is CAUSED by the interferon - the doc might be worried about putting you on the treatment meds as a result. I hope that helped somehow. Sorry for all your bad news believe me I can relate. Get the biopsy, find out where you stand.

Hi, I've been treated for the last 4 years for
with block and replace here in the Netherlands. Now, in preparing for a thyroidectomy, I had a scan which revealed thyroiditis. As far as I can see, this is not a symptom of Graves Disease. Without medication I am still hyper. Any ideas what this could be?

Can taking to much synthroid cause Graves disease? This discussion is related to Too much synthroid.

I was lucky not to have double vision, but I had all the other symptoms.
is an autoimmune
that is related to
Thyroid Disease, but you can have one without the other. About 5% of people with the thyroid disease develop the eye disease which is caused by different antibodies than the ones that cause Graves. The antibodies work on the muscles and tissue behind the eyes, causing a fatty like substance to be deposited in the muscles.

' is the autoimmune
that can cause hyperthyroidism. so if it makes any sense then think of it as having 2 diseases, one which is caused by the other. So when you have your thyroid removed then you don't have the hyperthyroid disease anymore but you still have the autoimmune disease (there is no cure, so unless someone comes up with one you'll always have it) What confuses me is that graves is the most common FORM of hyperthyroidism.

I am 29 years old, and last September (2013) I found out that I have
, not by the blood tests, but by the radioactive scan.. I am told, and keep reading, the only options that I have are; Methimozole, Propylthiouracil, and Radioactive Iodine. I am allergic to the Methimozole, and they do not want me to try the Propylthiouracil.. because if I'm allergic to one, I'm most likely allergic to the other. I DO NOT want to do the RAI. Is that really my only options?!
Read More
There is no rush for RAI and eye problems may get worse after RAI unless prednisone is used. I usually try to adjust the tapazole to keep thyroid levels normal. Depending on when the amiodarone was stopped, it may be that the iodine load is still high enough to drive the hyperthyroidism in an otherwise "quiet" Graves disease background -- so would not go straight to RAI unless things are not able to be controlled (of course surgery would then be another alternative).

In 2011, a study demonstrated that selenium supplementation (200 mcg per day) can slow the progression of eye disease and improve quality of life in patients with

Hi! I am 34 weeks pregnant with my 4th child and I am 36 years old. In 2000 I was diagnosed with Graves Disease but wound up in "spontaneous remission" before treatment started. I was told that it would come back but of course no idea when. I've had no problems since (luckily). In 2003 during the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy I had a few occurances of high blood pressure which never became a concern for my doctor. My 3rd pregnancy in 2005 I had no problems.

Fair trade nursing covers shipment
Our small sewing co-op in Davao, Philippines just shipped some more robot and paris pattern nursing covers. We sell them at Amazon and Ebay. If you choose to get them through ebay or our site then we can offer you free shipping. At Amazon, we use their fufillment centers so you can choose the method of shipping and if you are a Prime member than you can get free 2 day shipping which is an awesome bonus.
We are starting to run low on stock in our patterns — which is a great thing because that means you are helping out empoverished women in Davao! We want to design new nursing cover patterns so we thought we would ask you for your input on what patterns/shapes/colours/animals you would like to see. We also received some great feedback on how we can improve our nursing covers so we will address that as well. We want to continue to empower these women with skilled work.
What has been your favourite pattern? I would say that my favourite is the purple bears and the cherry blossoms. I like the colours, they cover my giant baby — and well, I like the cute little bear and girl the purple patterns. I'm a sucker for illustration.
We do have a sample sale of our nursing covers at Etsy while supplies last. They're a great deal at $10. Fabric is the same but there are some flaws like sizing may be a bit off (shorter, two wide, too long etc), incorrect thread or areas where the sewing may be a bit off.
Happy hump day! I'm still dealing with kids under the weather so they are a tad clingy to Mama.
