|FOCUS CORRECTION IN LITHOGRAPHY TOOLS VIA LENS ABERRATION CONTROL - Aberration control capabilities of sophisticated lithography tools may be exploited in order to locally adapt the focal surface of the optical system. That is, higher order correction terms may be incorporated in the design of the local surface in addition to the conventionally used first order corrections, thereby enhancing uniformity of the lithography process and thus of corresponding microstructure devices.
|SELF-CORRECTING SUBSTRATE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR FOCUS CONTROL IN EXPOSURE SYSTEMS - A substrate support system for process tools, such as lithography tools, comprises a configuration in which a local height level adjustment may be accomplished. Thus, upon detecting a non-allowable height level, the corresponding portion of the substrate support surface may be re-adjusted. Hence, the focus conditions of advanced exposure processes may be significantly enhanced, thereby providing superior process results and also increasing tool utilization.
|METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING PARTICLE CONTAMINATION IN AN IMMERSION LITHOGRAPHY TOOL - In an immersion lithography tool, the status of the immersion hood surface may be estimated on the basis of an inline detection system that generates optical measurement data. For example, a digital imaging system may be implemented in order to obtain optical measurement data without requiring exposure of the interior of the lithography tool to ambient air. In other cases, other optical measurement techniques, such as FTIR and the like, may be applied.
|USES OF DITHIOCARBAMATE COMPOUNDS - The present invention relates to the use of dithiocarbamate compounds and to an assembly for use in an electronic device, said assembly comprising a self-assembled monolayer of at least one dithiocarbamate compound. The present invention also relates to an electronic device including such assembly.
|ELECTRONIC HYBRID DEVICE - Method of manufacture of an electronic device, comprising providing a substrate comprising a semiconductor device stack, depositing a first material layer over the substrate, the first material layer being an insulating layer, depositing an active organic material layer over the first material layer, depositing a second material layer over the active organic material layer, the second material layer being an insulating layer.
|ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR A RECONFIGURABLE LOGIC CIRCUIT - The invention relates to an electronic device, comprising a field effect transistor and a resistive switch electrically coupled with each other, wherein the resistive switch is configured to be switched between a state of low resistance and a state of high resistance.
|DOUBLE LAYER HARDMASK FOR ORGANIC DEVICES - Method of manufacturing a substrate comprising an active organic layer, the method comprising providing a substrate comprising a first layer of an organic material, depositing a second layer on the first layer of organic material, depositing a third layer on the second layer, wherein the second layer protects the first layer of organic material during the deposition of the third layer, and patterning the second layer and the third layer to form a hardmask.
|DIODE BASED ON ORGANIC MATERIAL - Semiconductor device, comprising a substrate with a first electrode and having a layer of organic material deposited over the substrate and the first electrode; and a second electrode deposited over the layer of organic material, wherein the second electrode comprises a dielectric layer that is separated from the layer of organic material by the material of the second electrode.
|3D MOTION PICTURE ADAPTION SYSTEM - The present invention relates to an 3D motion picture adaption system (
|THERMOELECTRIC DEVICE - The present invention relates to a thermoelectric device, in particular an all-organic thermoelectric device, and to an array of such thermoelectric devices.

Arie Luyendyk, Jr. on Tabloid Reports: Come On!by Free Britney at . Comments
The Bachelorette finale that featured a tear-filled engagement bewteen Emily Maynard and Jef Holm also endeared millions to Arie Luyendyk, Jr.
While the majority of viewers are happy for - and confident in - Emily and Jef, the response to Arie Luyendyk has been overwhelmingly positive.
In other words, contrary to what the tabloids would have you believe.
The runner-up, who was the subject of wild, crazy and sometimes hurtful gossip reports throughout the season, has finally taken them to task.
Numerous magazines have painted Arie as a womanizer who only went on the show for publicity; an ex-girlfriend of his even got in on the act.
In addition, "insiders" claimed Emily Maynard was dumped by Arie despite wanting him to receive the final rose, with Jef winning by default.
Tuesday, Arie Luyendyk, Jr., who has wished Emily and Jef well, took to his Twitter page to address the stories, albeit without specifics:
"It's been brought to my attention what all the tabloids are saying. IT'S ALL FALSE, I mean where do they come up with this crap?! #carryon."
Carry on he will ... very possibly into The Bachelor driver's seat.
It seems all but a lock that Arie or Sean Lowe will be the next Bachelor, and given the former's popularity, you have to think he has the edge.
Who would you like it to be? Vote in our survey after the jump!
Who should be the next Bachelor, Arie Luyendyk, Jr. or Sean Lowe? Both 2012 Bachelorette finalists would be worthy ... but only one can be picked! View Poll »

Ruddock's current crop keen to follow vaunted path of U-20 heroes
AS part of their preparations for the coming campaign, Ireland's U-20s were shown videos of last year's historic season.
There was plenty to savour. A first success on French soil at the grade in the Six Nations was followed by a fifth-place finish at the Junior World Championship that included wins over England (the side that denied them a Grand Slam), France (again) and hosts South Africa.
They'd have watched the likes of Iain Henderson, who spent the last week training with the senior side in Carton House. JJ Hanrahan earned a player of the tournament nomination and has since played in the Pro12. Kieran Marmion got in as Connacht's No 9 this season and hasn't looked back.
The message is – the next few weeks offer considerable opportunities.
"The first camp we brought the guys in we showed them some footage of the 20s guys last year," coach Mike Ruddock said yesterday.
"These are the shoes they have got to fill and they are pretty big shoes. There is no guarantee they will be able to fill them but that's the expectation."
Even Ruddock's considerable skills as a coach will be stretched if Ireland are to live up to that standard. Injuries have also played their part while Ireland's most recognisable player at the age grade – Robbie Henshaw – is unavailable for this game, though he could feature against England next week.
It means others have been fast-tracked. Munster's Darren Sweetnam, who only recently opted to concentrate on rugby instead of hurling with Cork, is on the bench. Alexander O'Meara makes his representative bow on the wing.
In fact, just two of the match-day squad – scrum-half Luke McGrath and stand-in full-back Stuart Olding – played at this grade last season.
McGrath was behind Marmion last year and is fourth in line at Leinster where Eoin Reddan, Isaac Boss and John Cooney stand in his way. But big things are expected of the UCD clubman, who played a hero's part against Wales last year as he was sprung from the bench to kick a decisive drop-goal.
"It's important I bring some experience into it," said McGrath. "We did so well in the World Championships and we just missed out on the Grand Slam in the Six Nations so we have to learn from those losses. It's important to bring that belief back into this team."
Verdict: Wales
Ireland – S Olding; A O'Meara, T Daly, R Scannell, R Scholes; S Crosbie, L McGrath (capt); B Scott, G McGuigan, Chris Taylor; J Donnan, G Thornbury; P Timmins, R Murphy, C Joyce. Reps: J Andrew, P Dooley, J Caulfield, S McCarthy, J Van Der Flier, J Creighton, D Sweetnam, D Panther.
WALES – D Jones; A Evans, C Allen, S Hughes, A Hewitt; S Davies, R Williams; N Smith, E Dee, N Thomas, C Jones, Rhodri Hughes, S Bennett, D Thomas, E Jenkins (capt). Reps: E Lewis, G Thomas, D Suter, J Jones, J Benjamin, J Davies, E Davies, T Pascoe.

Mbf Leasing / Scam and crime!
Complaint Rating:
Contact information:
MBF Leasing
132 West 31st St
New York, New York
United States
Sometime in Feb of 2006 my son was approached by a salesman who worked for Vericomm. The salesman told my son he had a great deal and it would cost us much less in fees for using his company. The salesman then came to me and explained that there would be a fee for the credit card equipment but it would be refunded to us each month so that the equipment would cost nothing. He gave us his cell phone number in case we had any problems. After the first month when our rebate check for $169.00 did not come we called him and he said two checks had been written and were in the mail. During the second month when the checks had not come we called and his phone was disconnected. I then called Vericomm and they said that they do not have any program where they rebate money for equipment leases and that the salesman no longer works for them.
I called consumer protection and sent paperwork to the Vermont Attorney General. Vericomm was sent a letter to refund all money that they had taken from me. I received a refund of $338.00 the same amount MBF Leasing had taken. I told MBF Leasing to stop taking money from my account they said 'Read your lease'. They continued to take money from my account and I was no longer using the equipment. I went to my bank and signed a form to not allow MBF leasing to take money from my account. That stopped them for one month. The next month they changed the amount they were withdrawing and my bank did not catch it and neither did I. This went on for about 8 months. MBF Leasing stole approximately $1800.00 from me. After finally stopping them, all the phone calls started and said I owed them $5900.00.
As of this writing I just got back from a brief court appearance in New York City where they have taken me to civil court. I have filed an answer to their accusations and filed a counterclaim asking for return of all money taken and punitive treble damages. My court date is July 8. I s there any lawyer who would be willing to help me pro bono...

Futurebiotics Vitamin D3 5000 IU is a small, easy-to-swallow softgel that is a great way to help replenish the body's vitamin D status. Furthermore, research as shown that vitamin D supports bone, colon, muscle, immune and breast health.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble, essential nutrient for the body. Often referred to as "the sunshine vitamin," vitamin D is produced through skin exposure to sunlight, which triggers vitamin D synthesis. However, despite the importance of the sun to vitamin D synthesis, many Americans are getting less and less of it as they limit sun exposure to the skin. In fact, recent research indicates that as many as 75% of Americans have low vitamin D levels. Leading health experts advise that dietary supplements are a key way to meet vitamin D requirements.
Futurebiotics Vitamin D3 softgels provide 5000 IU of vitamin D as cholecalciferol, the preferred form. And, the vitamin D3 is solubilized in oil for better absorption. Vitamin D provides a wide-range of health benefits and continues to be the focus of ongoing research.
Please Read Item Label and Packaging for Recent Product Information.
As a dietary supplement for adults, take 1 softgel daily with a meal or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Do not exceed recommended dose. Consult your healthcare practitioner if you have any kidney disorders, hypercalcemia, are taking any medications or are pregnant/lactating. Keep out of reach of children.

Cops: Man held in rampage
Suspect accused of using garden tool in Milton attack
Updated 7:49 am, Friday, June 21, 2013
In the span of just a few hours, a Saratoga Springs man beat another man with a garden tool, damaged vehicles in the man's driveway, left the scene, came back later and broke windows at the man's home, stole a truck at another location and briefly evaded police, the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office said.
Steven Prevendoski, 22, allegedly went on the violent rampage Sunday night at a home on Burning Pines Drive. Just before 12:30 a.m., he went to the home of a man who has an order of protection against him and beat him with the garden tool, deputies said. Prevendoski then allegedly damaged cars in the man's driveway, left before police arrived, but came back at just after 2:30 a.m.
The second time Prevendoski was at the home, he shattered windows and glass doors and again ran off before police arrived, deputies said.
A police dog helped track Prevendoski to Margaret Drive, where a resident had also called to report a suspicious person matching Prevendoski's profile. There, Prevendoski allegedly stole a pickup truck and drove off. After Prevendoski was seen on Rowland Street, State Police began a chase, which ended when Prevendoski stopped on Geyser Road and sprinted from the truck, fleeing police.
Later Sunday, an arrest warrant was executed at a home on Geyser Road and Prevendoski was taken into custody.
More Information
Charged with felony assault, burglary, grand larceny, criminal mischief and misdemeanor criminal contempt, Prevendoski was arraigned in Milton Town Court and sent to Saratoga County jail after failing to post $25,000 bail.

Objective and methods: To test this hypothesis, we performed a questionnaire-based transversal survey in female members of the French Association of patients with RLS. Five hundred thirty-six women fulfilled the RLS criteria and completed the International RLS Severity Scale (IRLSSS) and questionnaire about reproductive behaviour, RLS history and perception of RLS symptom severity during pregnancy, menses and menopause.
Results: Patients with at least one child showed a significantly higher mean IRLSSS score than women without children and 23% of the patients declared having perceived worsening of symptoms during pregnancy.
Perceived RLS severity was increased during menses in 29% of non-menopaused patients and 69% of the patients reported worsening of symptoms following menopause. In these patients, a tendency towards higher IRLSSS scores was noted. Regression analysis revealed a correlation between higher IRLSSS scores and an early age at onset of RLS.
Conclusions: Female hormonal changes do not account for the variation in perceived severity in women with RLS during their hormonal milestones and their role in the pathophysiology of RLS is unlikely.

Chocolate Mousse, Salted Caramel Ganache, Peanut and Banana Caramel Tarts
I hope you are enjoying this holiday weekend. For us, it has been a weekend of potty training, sourdough bread baking, grilling and torrential rains. I have not seen it rain so hard in a long time, but it was needed as our grass was starting to look a bit brown and lifeless.
I will leave the potty training stories for another time, as I know those of you who have done it, have your share of funny ones as well. I will have to tell you about our new sourdough culture soon. It has become our new family project now and are completely obsessed with it.
I made these chocolate tarts for our annual Memorial Day weekend block party. Surprisingly, the sun came out for us and we were able to set up a large tent right outside so everyone could come in and go. Lots of neighbors joined and the kids had a blast in the pool and the sprinklers we set up outside.
Everyone loved when I brought these tarts out. They are chocolate tart shells filled with a layer of banana caramel with peanuts, another layer of a triple chocolate salted caramel ganache and topped with chocolate mousse. Rich to say the least, but oh so good.
Chocolate Tart Dough
adapted from Johnny Iuzzini's "Dessert Fourplay"
Note: you will only need part of the dough. Freeze the rest.
140 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
150 grams sugar
pinch salt
1 egg
1 egg white
310 grams flour
50 grams cocoa powder
4 grams baking powder
Cream the butter, sugar and salt until light.
Mix the egg white and egg together and add it to the butter. Mix and scrape bowl well.
Add the sifted flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and mix until combined.
Divide the dough into two balls, flatten them into disks, wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours before rolling.
Roll the dough into 1/8″ thickness and fill 3″ ring molds with it. Refrigerate the filled molds for at least an hour before blind baking.
Salted Peanut and Banana Caramel
100 grams sugar
40 grams glucose
50 grams butter
200 grams ripe bananas, mashed
50 grams salted peanuts, chopped
Make a dry caramel with the glucose and the sugar. Add the softened butter and whisk until it melts. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the mashed bananas. Transfer to a clean bowl and let this caramel cool.
We will add the salted peanuts when the banana caramel has cooled and right when we assemble the tarts.
Salted Caramel Ganache
25 grams bittersweet chocolate, chopped
50 grams unsweetened chocolate, chopped
75 grams milk chocolate, chopped
200 grams heavy cream
50 grams butter
10 grams glucose
105 grams sugar
large pinch of sea salt
Place the three types of chocolate in a large bowl. Place a large strainer over the bowl and reserve.
In a small pan, heat the heavy cream and butter and keep it warm.
In a separate tall pan, make a dry caramel with the glucose and sugar. Add the warm heavy cream and butter mixture slowly and whisk. The caramel will bubble up so stand away from the pan slightly and add it in stages if necessary. Whisk until all incorporated.
Pour this caramel over the chopped chocolate through the fine sieve. Add the sea salt and whisk until ganache is formed.
Be careful not to over whisk this ganache because it has a tendency to "break" if handled too much.
Chocolate Mousse
2 egg yolks
55 grams simple syrup
100 grams bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
205 grams heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
Place the egg yolks and the simple syrup in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk them together. Place this bowl over a double boiler and whisk the ingredients until light and foamy and thick. About 3-4 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the double boiler and place it in the machine. Whip the eggs until the bottom of the bowl feels cool to the touch.
Add the melted and cooled chocolate to the egg yolk mixture and whisk until combined. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl well.
Fold in the soft peak whipped cream and mix gently until all incorporated.
Assembling the Tarts
Blind bake the tart shells at 350F.
When tart shells are cooled, spoon a bit of the banana caramel into them. Top with the chopped peanuts.
Pour a thin layer of the salted caramel ganache into the tarts to cover the bottom layer. Refrigerate for a few minutes to set.
Place the chocolate mousse in a pastry bag fitted with a number 5 tip and pipe it on top of the set ganache.
Dust the tarts with a bit of cocoa powder, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and decorate with chocolate shavings.
They are best served slightly at room temperature so the ganache has a chance to soften a bit, so pull them out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before serving.

The Scranton Yankees weren't always the Scranton Yankees. They used to be the Red Barons and I think they're looking to build up their own brand rather than be so closely associated with the Yankees so they had their fans vote on a new name and they went with RailRiders. Damn, I was really hoping for Trolly Frogs.
It's the RailRiders because Scranton is the birth place of the trolley and the electric rail line. They also threw the porcupine into the logo because even the "The Porcupines" did not win the fan vote, it appeared on the most ballots.
I think the logo is kind of…um…interesting. It's already growing on me though so I feel like they made the right choice.

Thinking about buying a new truck? You probably have a lot of questions about different trucks, but Toyota of Clermont is sure your most important question is: which is the best? When it comes to full-size pickup trucks, there are a couple of options out there but ultimately, the 2016 Toyota Tundra near Orlando is the best choice. The 2016 Toyota Tundra 4x4 Crewmax Limited beats out of all its competition, including the 2016 Ford F-150 Supercrew 4x4 Lariat Styleside. Why is that? Not only does it have a better engine with better performance specifications, but it's also integrated with more convenience features and technology. They are similar in price and safety features, but in the end our new Toyota truck near Orlando comes out on top.
2016 Toyota Tundra takes on the Ford F-150!
Who says size doesn't matter? When it comes to engines, size is what counts. The Ford F-150 has a 5.0 liter V8 engine, but the 2016 Toyota Tundra near Orlando has a bigger and more impressive 5.7 liter V8 engine. Thanks to this larger and more powerful engine, the new Toyota Tundra near Orlando can tow more than the Ford F-150! Our new Toyota truck near Orlando can tow up to 10,000 pounds while the Ford F-150 can only tow up to 8,900 pounds.
The two trucks are close in fuel efficiency. The Ford F-150 gets 15 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway, and the Toyota Tundra near Orlando gets 13 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway.
Trucks are designed to make your life easier, and that's no different when inside the cab. In the 2016 Toyota Tundra near Orlando you can find a slew of standard convenience features that you can't in the Ford F-150, like:
- Keyless entry
- Backup camera
- Heated front seats
- Illuminated vanity mirrors
- Separate front driver and passenger climate controls
- Universal garage door opener
Both pickup trucks come with safety features that will keep you and your passengers safe, like brake assist system, child safety door locks, electronic traction control, and front airbags. However, the Toyota Tundra near Orlando goes above and beyond with front knee airbags, voice activated controls, and front fog lights.
When comparing MSRPs, our 2016 Toyota truck is slightly more expensive than the Ford F-150, but that's because it has a lot more going on than its opponent. The 2016 Toyota Tundra 4x4 Crewmax Limited is $44,780, right above the 2016 Ford F-150 Supercrew 4x4 Lariat Styleside at $43,300.
Get swept away by our Toyota truck near Orlando!
As you can see, the 2016 Toyota Tundra near Orlando is the best of the best. Not only does it beat out the Ford F-150 in performance and convenience, but also in style! It has a stylish but tough design that will turn heads.
Does it sound too good to be true? See it and believe! Take a test drive in the new Toyota Tundra near Orlando at our new Toyota dealership! We're located at 16851 State Road 50, between the Florida Turnpike and Highway 27!

Nothing like XMA in black clothes and ski masks.
It looks cool, if all ninjers trained like this at least they wouldn't be fat.

I hope Ralph correct Jason. He doesn't evenknow what the term "downrange" means.

@MOUNTAINOUS It's not the model of the handgun that matters, I just happened to mention the gun you were using. If you have a Colt 45 that would be nice. It's just that the slide on most Colt handgun models is great for a lot of techniques. The thought of you trying a one handed chambering technique crossed my mind when watching this video and in my opinion would impress a lot of people who watch your vids. If you were simulating a "hand injury" and could only use 1 hand to operate your firearm.

Safety Tip: When changing magazines on a handgun, you really need to get into the habit of keeping the firearm pointed down range. This will be safer for others, and more efficient for you.

that is how i used to do it until my instructor corrected me to do it this way. he has been teaching this for years. certified in to many aspects of firearms to list on a comment. but this is how i was told to do it now. this is not a range. i am in the middle of a forest 50 miles by 200 miles. in the mountians. no humans for miles. i mean miles. i dont go to ranges. i shoot in the forest where i live. but thanks anyway

@MOUNTAINOUS - Your 'instructor' is wrong. If he is telling you that it is wrong to keep the weapon pointed downrange while swapping magazines, then he is a fraud. I challenge his reasonings for having you point the gun up in the air, then sweeping the muzzle to the target. As well this side-to-side movement at the end of your shots. At least you are pointed downrange when cycling the slide.

@RoninHawk i wont get into a who is right and wrong debate. i will go with what he teaches me. he is my teacher. i wouldnt have him as a teacher if he was not what i felt was the best at what i want to learn. i was doing that. i then seen and was told to canter the gun at a angle to switch mags. and it is no harder to do it the other way. he is highly qualified to teach law enforcement and does teach police and military and body guards etc.

@MOUNTAINOUS - That is your perogative. Additionally, however, when you hold the pistol to your chest and do your side-to-side thing after your last shot, Besure that the weapon is always pointed to the ground. Not to the side - this is unsafe. When training in firearms, safety always takes precedence over everything. Even during tactical training.
9/19/2010 12:02am, #1316
Law enforcement. So In a city we have the angry end of the gun pointed up because of course nobody would be living above you. Or 4ks away from you when the bullet eventually comes down.

Does Jason lurk this thread? Jason just imagine if this happened to you
9/19/2010 1:53am, #1319
His attention drifts away from the target every time he needs to administrate the weapon.
His release of the safety causes the muzzle to drift considerably away from the target potentially into an unsafe direction
The placement of the side arm and spare mags isn't conducive to the skills he's attempting to develop which exasperates the poor drills
Yeah his index finger of the controlling hand is incorrectly placed for ideal trigger control but more seriously, during his reloads his index finger remains on the trigger - remembering that there's still a round in the chamber at the time, this is also the case when he carries out his end-drill observation whilst placing the sidearm against his body. His finger remains on the trigger for most of the time whilst holstering and it doesn't appear as if he re-engages the safety beforehand.
He lacks follow-through for each shot fired and is spending too long in the aim between his deliberate shots.
Thankfully he's realised that stupid Booj rear leg-biased stance is useless but that'll mean jack-**** after he shoots himself or someone else.
Indeed "Thank you Ralph Severe Sensei" You have created another firearms moron."To sin by silence when one should protest makes cowards out of men".

On the "downrange reloading thing...I know what he THINKS he's doing.
The latest technique for emergency reloads is the "workspace" technique. Instead of keeping the arms extended and muzzle directed straight away from you, you bring the pistol in with the mag well at approximately eye level. Almost as if you were reading the ingrediants on a can of soup.
YouTube - Magpul Dynamics - Art of the Dynamic Handgun
Go to :40 and :59 for an approximate example.
Mountians "Instructor" with all the so called certifications is of course Ralph Severe who probably claims to have "researched" (i.e. watched some Magpul vids on the net and now claims to know what he is doing) this technique. What you get in Mountanious' case is someone with a pistol close to his face with his finger on the trigger. Ralphs level of fail is even making the rounds in the gun blogosphere these days:
These guys are jokes.

Austan Goolsbee was on of the Obama administration's top economists during the bailout of G.M. and Chrysler, and he later went on to chair the Council of Economic Advisors. During his time in the administration he has publicly defended the auto bailout, for instance in the White House White Board video below he argues that:
The critics said this would never work, but the critics were wrong. Rather than a collapsing auto industry dealing another crushing blow on the American economy, the American automotive sector is now one of our engines of growth.
It is somewhat surprising then to read him say in a response to a survey of economists on the bailout that the costs exceed the benefits. The IGM Economic Experts Panel regularly surveys some of the country's top economists for their opinions on various policies and issues. Here they ask the following question:
Taking into account all of the economic consequences — including effects on corporate managers' incentives and on creditors' expectations of how their claims will be treated in future bankruptcies — the benefits of bailing out GM and Chrysler will end up exceeding the costs.
In response, Goolsbee indicated that he disagreed and with a confidence level of 8/10. That means a former Obama administration economist is highly confident that the costs of the bailouts exceeded the benefits. As far as I know this is the first he has made such claims, and I am curious journalists haven't contacted Goolsbee for a follow-up.
What explains his response? While Goolsbee has defended the auto bailout, a section from Steve Rattner's book certainly paints Goolsbee as opposed to the plan, which pits him against Larry Summers, who was for it:
Mr. Goolsbee and Mr. Summers also clashed in March over whether to bail out Chrysler and ease its merger with Fiat, or to let the automaker fail.
Mr. Summers, along with Mr. Geithner and the political advisers, favored giving Chrysler a second chance. "My judgment, and Tim's judgment, was that given all the equities involved, and given the potentially traumatic effects on confidence, that it was much better to try to save Chrysler if a reasonable merger agreement could be reached," he said.
Mr. Goolsbee argued that rescuing the financial system was one thing, since credit is the economy's lifeblood, but the government should not run an auto company. Saving Chrysler, he added, could further harm General Motors, which stood to gain market share."
I haven't read the book so maybe Goolsbee came around eventually. His White Board video above certainly suggests he did. So how to reconcile Goolsbee saying the bailout's costs exceed the benefits and his defense of it? Does he believe that the Bush administration made a mistake in starting the bailouts, but given the sunk costs the Obama administration's further bailout made the most sense? Or did he simply misread the survey question? In the same survey he agrees that the auto bailout lowered unemployment at of the end of 2010, which is what you would expect him to say, indicating he read that question right. But he also says the costs of the bank bailouts exceed the benefits, which is again a surprise. In addition he says the following in the space for comments on the bank bailout question:
may not cost $ but was still an outrage we got to that point
So does he mean it won't cost the government money but the full cost-benefit is negative? Or does it mean he misread the question and actually thinks the benefits of the bailout exceed the costs?
I find it hard to believe that Goolsbee would say the bailouts were a mistake, but that is what his survey answers imply. Someone should give Goolsbee a call and find out what he really meant to say here.

My wife and I built a deck out of recycled wood. Looks good right? Shiny, beautiful, coated all sides three times with Thompson's water seal. What did I miss? Clearance. It was too close to the mulch and soil of the yard, so within two years it rotted to dust and I had to start over.
The cost of the deck was $200 in supplies, would have been $1000 with new wood. So not too bad. I did lose a week of work time building a 'temporary deck'. Now we did win a $750 contest on creative recycling from Instructables: Hexagon Deck With Recycled Supplies.
So we made some money there and lost time.
THEN I pulled up the deck and used it in the yard as a temporary walkway of sorts, so a cost savings there:
More on the yard here: http://www.horkavy.com/ken/tag/m…
Or you can see it in this video: Ken Horkavy
Back to the story of the DIY deck adventure. My wife found a coquina-like stone drive way that was $500, but we had to pull it up by hand and it was concreted in. Back-breaking, trailer-bending, heavy, heavy work. We did it, even pulled up the two square yards of foundation sand that was underneath (in the rain). It was essentially SEVEN trips with trailers and vehicles. What a mess, but we got it done.
Then I had to buy many yards of additional foundation sand ($50/yard picked up) about $150.
This is what the patio looks like today
My breakdown:
Wood Deck: $200 – $750 prize = $550 profit for a temporary deck. 🙂
Stone Patio: $500 bricks, $100 fuel, $200 massages to recover, $150 in sand:
$950 total
To have a patio in the end, 15×30 feet, was $400 all totaled and probably a month of freakin' work.
I would hire a builder to do it next time I think, but my wife and I had a good time working together. I love her very much. The greatest value I realized from this adventure was seeing how dedicated my wife was to me, following me down these rabbit holes!
Happy Building! 🙂

A Diet Plan For Getting Six Pack Abs
The Best Protein, Carbs and Fat Sources For Reducing Body Fat
If you are someone who covets a lean stomach, it's an absolute must that you put together a proper six pack abs diet.
Simply stated, if you're not following a sound six pack abs diet, you can kiss your results goodbye.
How can one be so sure of this? The reason is that when it comes to ripped abs, diet accounts easily for up to 90% of your results. Even if you manage to get down to relatively low body fat percentages with just exercise alone, if you're eating the wrong foods, you'll retain water which will wash away that ripped ab look.
A good six pack abs diet is critical for success, so we're going to go over all the foods that must be in place on your plan. If there's one thing that you need to do moving forward, before even coming up with a workout routine, getting your six pack abs diet set in stone is it.
Here's what you should be eating.
The 5 Best Carbs For Getting Six Pack Abs
When choosing the top carbs to add to your six pack abs diet plan, you want to look for those that are going to digest incredibly slowly in the body and have virtually no processing at all.
This will ensure that they are going to have minimal impact on your blood sugar levels and provide you with the energy to get through your workouts.
Then in addition to that you also want to look for carbs that will supply plenty of fiber and vegetables that are high in antioxidants. While vegetables aren't considered a 'high carb' food, they are still a carbohydrate containing food and need to be in your plan. Later on in the day, they are the perfect carb to turn to since they are so low in calorie value.
1) Quinoa
Topping our list of carbs to add to your six pack abs diet is quinoa. Quinoa is excellent since not only will it be incredibly high in fiber, but it's also a complete protein.
Most carbohydrate containing foods are incomplete proteins, so this one will put you one step ahead as far as your protein requirements go.
Adding this food to your six pack abs diet around your workout sessions is a smart move for proper performance and recovery.
2) Brown Rice
Another food that's similar to quinoa that you may prefer is brown rice. Brown rice also deserves a place on your six pack abs diet as it is not at all processed and is completely fat free.
Brown rice will be perfect for restoring muscle glycogen levels after you do a hard workout and for keeping you mentally focused for the coming day.
3) Oatmeal
To jumpstart your metabolism in the morning, go with oatmeal. Oatmeal contains no sugar so is the perfect addition to your six pack abs diet. It's also higher in volume for the amount of calories it contains, which is a key element for success with any six pack abs diet.
4) Broccoli
On the vegetable side of things, you can't go wrong with broccoli. Loaded with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, and at around only 30 calories per cup, this one is an easy add to your six pack abs diet.
5) Blackberries
Finally, to satisfy your sweet tooth on your six pack abs diet, go with blackberries. Blackberries are a fiber powerhouse so will release very slowly in the body, having minimal impact on blood glucose levels.
Blackberries are potent in antioxidants as well so will fight off any free radical damage taking place.
The 5 Best Protein Foods For Getting Six Pack Abs
So now that you know the top carbs for your six pack abs diet, what about the best protein sources?
When looking for proteins you want to think lean and clean. No carbs, no added fats (except for essential fatty acids), and no preservatives.
1) Chicken
You simply can't go wrong with chicken. With hundreds of different ways to prepare this and with less than 3 grams of fat per serving, it definitely deserves a spot on your six pack abs diet.
2) White Fish
Another excellent source of protein is white fish. This is one of the lower calorie sources of protein so you'll get to eat more of it for fewer calories. When it seems as though your meals are getting smaller and smaller as your calorie intake comes down, this can be very beneficial.
3) Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is the next protein source to add to your six pack abs diet. Those who consume more dairy on their plan tend to lose more fat from the abdominal region, so this is definitely a must-have.
4) Salmon
For essential fatty acid intake, you can do no better than adding salmon to your six pack abs diet. This fish is rich in protein and will help to keep your insulin sensitivity where it needs to be to get lean.
5) Egg Whites
Finally, egg whites are a perfect way to start your day on your six pack abs diet as they're low in fat, low in calories, and will fill you up quickly. Be sure they're added regularly.
The 5 Best Healthy Fats For Getting Six Pack Abs
Finally, the last macronutrient to discuss is healthy fats. Healthy fats will calm your hunger, keep your blood sugar under control, and provide you with vital nutrients you need on your six pack abs diet plan.
1) Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds are a great healthy fat because they're not only high in essential fatty acids, but also contain fiber and protein. Sprinkle some over your morning bowl of oatmeal.
2) Fish Oil
Fish oil is the next must-have on your six pack abs diet. Most people will take this in supplemental form, but you can also consume it through a high intake of fatty fish varieties as well.
3) Avocado
Avocado's are often the forgotten about form of fat but definitely deserve a place in your six pack abs diet. They're full of vital nutrients and will add a creamy taste to any dish you're preparing.
4) Natural Peanut Butter
Since most people naturally crave peanut butter on a six pack abs diet, add this in for healthy fats. As long as you choose the natural variety which is lower in added sugars, you can't go wrong with this in there.
5) Coconut Oil
Finally, coconut oil is the last of the fats to use on your six pack abs diet. This oil reacts slightly differently in the body as it can be used directly as a fuel source much like carbohydrates. When your energy level is lacking, it's the one to turn to.
So there you have the main foods to add on your six pack abs diet. By getting these all in place, you can be sure that you're on your way to success.

The second annual boxing tournament at Dilboy Stadium is quickly approaching, and all the boxers at the Somerville Boxing Club are training for the big fight night on Aug. 23.
Rashida Ellis, 18, is a five-time national champion fly weight boxer. She weighs in at 132. Ellis is from Lynn but trains at the Somerville Boxing Club six days a week. "I like all sports. But boxing, I like it because it's fighting. I just love to fight," Ellis says.
As a senior in high school, Ellis is always busy, either studying or fighting. "We train hard to box. It's nothing easy. We have to jog every day."
The boxers come to the gym and throw on the hand wraps, she explains. "You come here and do a lot of shadow, which is throwing punches to the air, hitting the bag, doing jump rope," Ellis says. Sometimes she flips the tires. "It's hard work every day, that's it. On sparring days it's even harder, 'cause you have to compete with the others."
"It's an opportunity for a lot of young kids who don't get to play the team sports," said Norman "Stoney" Stone about the upcoming tournament. "We got over 500 members. We'll probably have 15 bouts that night."
Stoney, 62, managed and trained former WBA Heavyweight Champion John "The Quietman" Ruiz. Now he works with the kids down at the Somerville Boxing Club on 11 Otis St., alongside trainer Alex Rivera.
Rivera, 39, has been training boxers for some 20 years. He was a fighter back in the early 90's and started a gym in Lynn, but moved to Somerville two years ago. "The City of Somerville has been good to us," he says. "I take pride of putting good fights together. When they come to see the fight, they have a good time, but they can experience amateur boxing at its highest level."
"Fight Night' takes place August 23 at Dilboy Stadium.Tickets are available at the Somerville Boxing Club, 11 Otis Street, $20.00 adults, $10.00 youth. Call 617-625-6600 x.2250 for more information.

Physicist: Yes.
Don't gamble (mathematically speaking).
Mathematician: Gambling (at casinos, in lotteries, and in most other instances) is expected value negative, even when you play optimally. That means that the average amount of money you will make per play is negative (i.e. you will lose money, on average). It also implies (via the Central Limit Theorem) that when you play many times, there will be a greater than 50% chance that you lose money overall.
There are a few exceptions to this rule. Card counting in games like blackjack can be expected value positive if you are very good at it and increase your bet sizes at the right times, but casinos are savvy and make this difficult (e.g. by shuffling many decks of cards together). Plus, if you get caught, you will get banned, or worse. Betting against friends can also be expected value positive if you can be sure you're really a better gambler than they are. Poker at casinos (where you play against other gamblers) can also be expected value positive if you're very good, but since the casino charges you to play, even if you're better than the other players you may not (on average) come out positive.
A good rule of thumb is this: If you don't enjoy gambling, then simply don't do it since (on average) it will just waste your money. If you do enjoy it, then think of it as a recreational activity, not as a way to make money. Before starting, decide how much money you are willing to lose, and if you use that money up, quit immediately. If you assume that you are going to lose then you won't be disappointed.
All of this being said, if you do decide to gamble, you'd better study up on your probability! It's important to know what the best course of action is (probabilistically speaking) at each decision point in the game.

Eddie Henderson: For All We Know
Mellow trumpet, John Scofield on guitar, a sharp program of tasty tunes.
Eddie Henderson
For All We KnowLabel: Furthermore
US Release Date: 2010-10-12
UK Release Date: Import
Eddie Henderson is a great jazz musician who has been scandalously underexposed. Or so it strikes me as I listen to For All We Know, the trumpeter's latest recording.
Most fans, even fairly astute jazz nuts with large collections, will associate Henderson first and foremost with Herbie Hancock's electronic sextet of the 1970s. In that context, you're excused if you were inclined to hear Henderson as the Miles Davis stand-in, given how thoroughly that sound -- and Hancock himself -- was associated with the Ol' Prince of Darkness himself.
In truth, Henderson is a different player entirely, and more careful and comprehensive listeners will know him as a more commercial electric artist, an able sideman playing funky, soul-jazz with Charles Earland, an outside-in sideman for the likes of Pharoah Sanders, or a mainstream player with a variety of leaders.
On For All We Know, Henderson knows that he is his own man, and so he is confident enough that he can evoke his association with Hancock (playing "Cantaloupe Island") and with Davis (with an Al Foster tune called "Missing Miles"), while also leaning on his Davis-ish Harmon mute sound on the opening track, "Jitterbug Waltz". And if there are a few key elements of Henderson's sound that borrow from Miles's book of gestures -- for example, the tendency to stab repeated notes like a boxer looking for an opening -- then it's equally true that the leader evokes Freddie Hubbard when he plays flugelhorn or Art Farmer in other moments.
When, then does he sound like... Eddie Henderson?
Plenty. Henderson echoes other great players in passing, but his overall style is fluid and logical, stringing together easy passages in his solos that have a relaxed pleasure about them. "Be Cool", one of the flugelhorn tunes, finds the leader playing with a sparky skip as he runs up in quick flights, then rolls back down his scales in slower circles of logic. The end of his solo lurks around the lower register to subtle effect. "Sand Storm" is a workout at a brisk stroll, where Henderson flirts with the edges of bop tonality some sputtering repeated notes, then fluttering and firing on quick runs. He gets to conversing with Bill Drummond on percussion, but the temperature never gets too fiery. "Cantaloupe" is funky but slightly off-kilter, and Henderson again seems like the calmest swimmer on the rolling waves -- easy and always buoyant.
The star sideman here is most certainly guitarist John Scofield, a leader on some recent dates featuring Henderson. Scofield, in truth, makes the record, because he is given the room (with no piano on this date) to essentially define the arrangement of these tunes. On the uptempo tunes such as "Jitterbug", Scofield brings a jagged energy and slighty Monk-ish tilt as a one-man orchestrator. "Cantaloupe" is given a groove by Drummond and bassist Doug Weiss, sure, but Scofield is the dancer at the center of the floor who syncopates the sway and keeps you mesmerized.
As a soloist, Scofield remains a great jazz guitarist -- I write this a modicum of emphasis on the word "jazz". In the last decade, Scofield has spent more than a little time noodling in the jam band world, but he has never really lost his bearings. When he begins to improvise, Scofield proceeds not only from the shifting harmonies of the song structure, but also from the intriguing notions of original melody that are natural in his ear. Rather than running about the scales too much, Scofield crafts an arc of melody. He seems to generate interesting, looping structures that lead to climatic rises or falls. Check out the beauty on Henderson's "By Myself", which is a freshly pulsing tune. Scofield's guitar sound is also still a fresh thing: not really distorted, but choruses slightly and given a jarring edge that lets him buzz above the rhythm section.
Though Eddie Henderson's main gig these days is teaching at The Julliard School in New York or the Hartt School of Music in Connecticut, For All We Know is not the album of a guy whose playing days are over. The title tune, of course, is a classic ballad, but Henderson doesn't flub a note or even a note-ending. His tone is all assurance and silk, with the occasional stylish buzz put into his sound. Sco and Henderson seem like old friends with stories to trade, but the performance is not more sentimental than it has to be. It is, for lack of a better term, mainstream jazz of the first order, not outdated in the new millennium, or so we should all hope not.
The closer, "Popo", is a jaunty track that borrows just enough from newer jazz styles. Weiss starts the popping groove, with Scofield picking up the motion. Henderson's hip little melody is just a quick gesture that lets him move it around and play with it, like a real modernist, all While Scofield echoes and dances in response. It is, without a doubt, the "modern" sounding track in the collection -- a sign that Eddie Henderson knows full well that there's room for growth in jazz.
He hasn't given up on it yet, and happily, the music still finds him delightful and relevant.

I have been to many doctors over the years and they all say that these side effects had nothing to do
my medication. Well, I am no doctor, but it
not take a genius to figure out that when all of these side effects happen within weeks of starting this medication, that the medication is the cause. Over the years I have had a horrible time trying to lose weight. I am usually very skinny and I have tried EVERYTHING to lose weight and nothing has worked!

I finally found some stabilization on Celexa and
. I had been able to control my weight
Wellbutrin and
, but I was diagnosed
an eating disorder, which in my opinion was a misdiagnosis because how can you not be obsessed with the scale when your on medication that could possibly make you gain weight. Anyways, I was at my lightest when I was on Wellbutrin and Geodon, but had a lapse with insanity so my medicines changed. My weight ofcourse changed as well.

Many people here have experience
. My first issue
had come from concerns about heart health. In my opinion, we can become so sensitized to what we think is the problem that we notice every little symptom. For example, I noticed every palpatation, pain, twinge, tightness in the chest, etc and justified these feelings as something wrong with my heart even though doctors and tests said otherwise.

Thank you all for your responses and input. When I decided to seek
for severe
, I was very scared and upset to address my issues. It is getting to be the same now for this...I am scared to address it. I definitely will bring this up to my doctor though because if I can be treated. Is bipolar disorder, or disorders on the spectrum treated with anti-depressants? Or is it a different kind of medicine. I am currently taking anti-depressants in order to help my anxiety.

many drugs used for mental illness treatment - the rest is not based on anything scientific are best and dangerous at worst. A pdoc is the only person who can answer these qustions ultimately and thats who you need.

Brock Myers added his name to the Little League World Series record book but the Goodlettsville All-Stars' run through the tournament ended prematurely Sunday.
Goodlettsville lost 12-2 to Tokyo, Japan in the championship contest, which was halted in the bottom of the fifth inning due to the 10-run rule. The end came when Tokyo's Noriatsu Osaka hit his third home run of the game, a two-run shot to center field.
The teams combined to hit seven home runs — five by Tokyo, two by Goodlettsville — in the game played before an announced crowd of more than 24,000 at Williamsport, Pa. and a national television audience.
In Goodlettsville's case, though, the home runs were all it got.
Myers became the first U.S. player to hit one in five consecutive games. He made it 5-1 when he drove one out in the top of the fourth against Tokyo's starting pitcher Kotaro Kiyomiya, a 6-foot, 206-pound 13-year-old.
Lorenzo Butler made it 10-2 in the top of the fifth when he hit one off Osaka.
The only other Goodlettsville hitter to reach base was Cole Carter, who walked with one out in the second.
Tokyo, conversely, had 11 hits against three Goodlettsville pitchers. In addition to his three home runs, Osaka also had a triple.
Regardless of Sunday's result, Goodlettsville left a lasting impression in its first appearance at the event.
Myers' record was not the only one in which it was involved. Butler set a LLWS record with nine RBIs in a single game when he hit three three-run home runs in the United States championship against Petaluma, Calif. That game — a 24-16 Goodlettsville victory — also was the highest-scoring in tournament history.
In its first LLWS appearance — the first in 25 years by any Tennessee team — the Southeast region champion was undefeated in the United States bracket.
Its collective .385 average, .460 on-base percentage and .748 slugging percentage all ranked first among the 16 domestic and international teams. Its 14 home runs — one more than Tokyo — also topped the tournament.
Myers led all players with five home runs. He and Butler finished tied for fourth with 10 RBIs. Myers was second with 11 hits and third with 10 runs scored.

You'll never buy gold from Blizzard. There's a lot of reasons for it, both legal and economical, but at the heart of the matter is that it just doesn't make sense for a fourth generation massively multiplayer to capitalize on such a worthless item. "Gold isn't worthless," they decry! "Gold buys me many things in game. Gold allows me to fly epically and fill my bank with magic holes." All true, no doubt. But gold as a resource is infinite, and selling an infinite resource is a fools' errand.
Let's go down the list of reasons why Blizzard selling gold is a bad idea. Like I mentioned before, there are legal implications, economical implications and just plain bad business decisions.
Do you know how much it costs to sue?
America gets a bad reputation for being the lawsuit capital of the universe, and usually people are right. We sue back and forth about a whole bunch of stupid things. The fact you don't know is that most, if not a good amount, never make it to court. Judges aren't stupid. They've seen this crap before and just toss these people out of court for one reason or another.
But what happens when you do have a case? Money. Lots and lots of money. Deep, deep pockets are empty by the time the lawsuit ordeal is over. Lawyers get paid, court fees get paid, expert witnesses get paid, co-counsel gets paid, service processors get paid, associates, paralegals and everyone back at the office gets paid. When I tell you that it's a lot of money to sue, it is a lot of money. Especially when you deal with corporations, and even more especially when you're going up against someone like Blizzard.
Imagine if Blizzard sold gold. Gold would then have a real world value according to the creator of a currency. Therefore, directly, gold in Warcraft would have a value. A dollar value. The IRS here in America collects taxes, requiring all citizens to report earnings to the agency and pay a percentage of income. Shocker of shockers, we call that the income tax. Now that WoW gold has a value in our little made up world, and confers benefits to me, one could argue that my gold is income. Without real world value, gold is just numbers in a database stored on a server somewhere in Arkansas.
The last thing Blizzard wants to do is have to write out income reports for every player filing their taxes. Obviously this situation is ridiculous, right? It's all hyperbole to show you the dystopian gold future, where taxmen run amok in Azeroth, charging sales tax on every auction house purchase. But it's not! We've been talking about this since 2006. And we still don't really have an answer.
Imagine the costs of dealing with lawsuits for 12 million people. Imagine the potential tax implications for 12 million people. Imagine the amount of people Blizzard would have to hire to deal with legal and tax issues for 12 million people. Then multiply that number by at least a hundred. It's too expensive to sell gold in World of Warcraft.
"I should be able to buy this stuff in game!"
One of the bigger responses to the Sparkle Pony debacle of 2010 was that players should be able to receive any reward offered on the Blizzard store with a comparable in-game route to earn the item, either by achievement or purchasing the item. If you believe that this even crossed Blizzard's mind, you're more than likely wrong.
Achievements and gold are unlimited resources in Blizzard's eyes. What could you possibly price the Celestial Steed at in-game? Let's just go with 100,000 gold. I know people with well over that, and people who will never see nearly that much gold. So, I can either purchase the Celestial Steed for $25 or pay in-game 100,000 gold for the horse. That gets awfully close to Blizzard ascribing a real world value to gold, equating $25 to 100,000 gold pieces.
Gold and achievements are limitless within the world. Your money is not. The sale of a horse or a pet isn't about it being able to be earned in game. It is a purely optional cash transaction for the use of an item that, in its design, cannot be gained within the game. Maybe that's why people are so mad at it -- it really is about making some cash. It worked, though. They sold a heck of a lot of horses.
You'll never buy gold because gold is worthless to Blizzard. They would much, much rather have your $25 for a horse rather than your $25 for gold to spend on a horse.
Bad business
It's bad business for Blizzard to sell gold. You've seen the cottage industry that has ballooned into a multi-million dollar juggernaut in China. Hell, it's probably in the billions now. The amount of gold being bought from China in WoW and other games is immense. I wish I could give you the real scope and scale of the industry, but it eludes me. It's just massive.
Blizzard does well to not stick its nose into Chinese politics. For what its worth, Blizzard has been wonderfully diplomatic about the gold selling problem. The game sold well in China and continues to make Blizzard money even during the long stints of Chinese bans on the game. Many Chinese players connect to WoW through the Taiwanese servers, in fact. Over the years, Blizzard has made decisions in China that have, for the lack of a better word, endangered WoW in the largest market on the planet.
Blizzard selling gold would create a huge problem for their relationship with China. First, it undermines what amounts to a Chinese export. Second, it forces a lot of Chinese out of work. Of course, they shouldn't be employed in this odd gray market in the first place, but it's there, it exists, and it is a fact of life.
You won't buy gold in World of Warcraft from Blizzard. You just won't. You'll buy mounts, tabards, pets, hats for your orc shaman, extra draenei horns, houses, guild halls, proto-proto drakes and whatever else your mind can dream up. But you won't buy gold, because that's a fools errand.

Just bought used OMC controls from Ebay. I have a 1986 30hp outboard. The controls are black with 2 control cables and one power cable with red plug. There are also two other plugs hanging of of power cable. This is what I dont get. My motor has on one side a lever for the forward and reverse. The other side is the throddle assembly. Now the control lever with the red button will move one cable back and forth. There is another lever that you pull up on...this will move the other control cable in one direction. When the lever is pulled up, you cant move the throddle lever. How is this going to work on my motor??? Also how do you hook the cranking battery up so the moor will start? It doesnt look like anything would attach to the battery. Help would be greatly appreiciated. Hope this makes sense!!

Owner of Limerick creche admits childcare breaches
THE owner of a childcare facility on the outskirts of the city has pleaded guilty to several breaches of childcare regulations.
Fiona Doheny of Tí Na Leanaí, Toureen Ballysimon, appeared before Limerick Court on foot of a prosecution brought by the Health Service Executive (HSE).
Judge Eugene O'Kelly was told all of the offences were detected during a routine inspection of the childcare facility which was conducted on February 27, last.
The judge was told at the time Ms Doheny was a registered childminder which allows her to mind up to five children in her own home.
She was also registered to provide a sessional Montessori service at a converted garage adjacent to her home.
However, on the day the inspection was conducted, it transpired she was running a full day-care service for up to 15 children.
Pre-school inspector, Marie O'Riordan, said one of the breaches related to the fact that the defendant had not informed the HSE of the changes.
"Childcare providers are obliged to inform us what type of service they are operating," she said adding that different regulations govern the operation of full day-care facilities.
Ms O'Riordan said another breach of regulations related to the keeping of proper records.
She told the court that Ms Doheny had no records relating to the 12 children who were at the creche on the day and that there was no staff roster available.
When asked by Judge O'Kelly, the inspector said the children at the creche seemed content and the premises were clean and child-friendly.
Ms O'Riordan was accompanied by a colleague during the inspection who said another of the breaches related to sleeping facilities for the children.
Pre-school inspector, Jane Hayes, said she came across one child who was asleep on a high chair while another toddler was asleep on a bean-bag.
Ms Hayes told the court that bean-bags are not regarded as being suitable for sleeping and that she observed the child who was asleep in the high chair being woken by another child who was playing in the same room. The judge was told that Ms Hayes encountered a third child who was asleep in a sleeping room.
While the child had been placed in a cot in accordance with best practice, his shoes had not been removed and he had a hood over his head, which, she said, created a "significant risk of overheating".
Ms Hayes also noted that while the sleeping monitor attached to the child's cot was turned on, the receiver which was located in another area of the creche was not.
Judge O'Kelly was told that a member of staff had completed a sleep-check record in the presence of Ms Hayes without checking on the children.
Judge O'Kelly was told that Ms Doheny has sought expert advice and a 30-page report prepared by Dr Mary Moloney was submitted to the court.
The judge indicated he would need some time to read the report and he agreed to adjourn the case to facilitate the attendance of Dr Moloney in court.
Solicitor Muiris Gavin, representing the HSE, asked that copy of the report be forwarded to the executive before the next court date.

PORTLAND – It took an awesome defensive effort, but Cape Elizabeth ended Yarmouth's two-year reign as the Class B boys' lacrosse state champion Saturday.
Tom Foden, who was nursing a sore shoulder, scored three goals as the Capers eked out a 7-6 victory against the Clippers at Fitzpatrick Stadium to claim their first state title in nine years.
"It was a defensive struggle, and I thought (Cape) did a very nice job," Yarmouth Coach Craig Curry said.
"They played great team defense. It wasn't just one guy. "
It was the third time the teams played each this season.
On May 5, Yarmouth recorded an 8-4 victory against Cape. On May 28, the Capers rallied from an early five-goal deficit to pull out a 10-8 victory, handing the Clippers their first regular-season loss in nearly two years.
"I think we've had teams that may have been better skill-wise, but I don't think there's been a team in the past that has gotten better every single day," Cape Elizabeth Coach Ben Raymond said.
"The kids improved more this year than we have in a long time from the beginning of the season to the end of the season, and that's a testament to every single kid on that team. Even the ones who don't play pushed their teammates every day in practice."
The return of Foden, who sat out the final 20 minutes of Cape's 7-6 overtime victory Wednesday against top-seeded Falmouth in the Western Class B final with a shoulder injury, provided a lift at both ends of the field.
"Even if he wasn't going to score goals, his presence on the field is huge for us," Raymond said. "He's an athlete who can get the ball when we need it. He can pick the ball up."
The game was a dead heat in a lot of statistical categories. The Capers held an 18-17 edge in shots. Both teams picked up 20 groundballs, and both teams committed 20 turnovers.
The Capers (12-3) held a 4-3 lead at the end of the first half.
Cape moved into a 3-1 lead in the first quarter, but the Clippers got goals from Evan Henry and Michael Johnson less than six minutes into the second quarter.
Foden scored his second goal of the game with 34 seconds in the second quarter to send Cape Elizabeth back into the lead before the end of the first half.
