For Penn State's Joe Paterno, the winningest football coach in Division I history, his career ends with this statement Wednesday night from the school's board of trustees:
"The board determined that it is in the best interest of the University for Joe Paterno to no longer serve as head football coach, effective immediately."
Caught up in a scandal revolving around allegations that former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky had been abusing young boys for more than a decade and that Paterno and other school officials didn't do enough to either investigate or alert authorities to what was happening, the legendary coach won't be finishing out the season with his team — as he had hoped to do. (Sandusky says he's innocent.)
Paterno was told of the board's decision over the phone. Also fired: School President Graham Spanier.
After the announcement, as NPR's Jeff Brady reported from State College, Pa., students from the school filled the streets to express their outrage that Paterno wouldn't be allowed to coach Saturday at what would have been his last home game. Some turned over a television news van. Police in riot gear had to break up the crowd.
Some students went to Paterno's home, where he told them "I love you guys," according to The Patriot-News.
On Morning Edition, NPR's Tom Goldman talked about Paterno's legacy at Penn State. "The football program over the years became the embodiment of the school's slogan 'success with honor,' " Tom said. "Penn State won and the players graduated."
But ultimately, a grand jury's report (warning: it is graphic) that said Paterno had been told that Sandusky was seen sexually abusing a young boy and then alerted only the school's athletic director and not police, forced the trustees' to act. That, as Tom says, "is a real black mark" on Paterno's legacy.
"You can't wipe out all the good he did" in helping build Penn State into the major school it is now, said Tom. But the scandal is now likely "to be in the first line of his obituary."
The Patriot-News has a short video clip of the scene at Paterno's home last night when he came out to thank the students.
(That's not a scientific survey. It's a question meant to spark discussion.)

Oh, sorry, did you want a number sign?
Nooo problem.
Yep, whether it was a misspelling...

Birth Story of Andrew and William
Their birth story began on September 20 when I was 33 weeks pregnant with the twins. At 2am I woke with pressure waves (PWs) that were strong and intense and 10 minutes apart. Within 30 minutes, they were 5 minutes apart so we headed to the hospital. When we got there, they checked my dilation and I was 4 cm and 75% effaced. Since it was so
early, they immediately started me on Terbutaline, antibiotics, and steroid shots. The Terbutaline didn't have any real effect on the PWs, so they next started me on Magnesium Sulfate. At that point, delivery seemed imminent. The local hospital doesn't have the facilities for babies prior to 35 weeks, so I was transferred by ambulance to a hospital about 60 miles away.
I stayed on Magnesium Sulfate for 3 days and then they turned it off to see if the labor would restart. I had PWs the whole time but they weren't "productive". I stayed in the hospital 24 hours longer and when I didn't dilate any further, I went home. It took 2 weeks to recuperate from the Mag-Sulfate so my mom stayed with me and cooked for me.
On October 14, labor started again. This time I was 36 weeks. After 4 hours of PWs that were 5 minutes apart, we headed back to the hospital. I dilated from 4 cm to 6 cm in the triage area within the first 20 minutes. The standard procedure for delivering twins is in the operating room (which I was okay with) so we headed straight there. …
After 30 minutes or so I felt the intensity of the PWs die way down. After spending 3 hours in the OR, I finally told the MW that I didn't think the PW were productive anymore. We headed to a regular room to rest and see if the PWs picked up again. The next morning, they were completely gone. We spent that day in the hospital, walking the halls and seeing if we could get things going again. No luck.
At this point the OB was very reluctant to see me go home since I was so dilated. We agreed to stay one more night and check again for dilation in the morning. I was so tired from little sleep, walking all day and the stress from being in the hospital again. My confidence in my body was severely shaken with the starts and stops. The OB on call that night came in to talk to us about doing an amnio to check if the babies' lungs were developed enough to induce labor. I was so frazzled that I almost agreed. My DH was much steadier of mind and reminded me that the babies should choose their own birthday. There was no sign of distress in the babies and I was fine – why induce at 36 weeks?
So the next morning, our favorite midwife (she also attended the birth of our daughter) checked me and since there was no change, discharged us. We spent the next week getting stuff ready around the house. We are also house-hunting since we are currently in a 2-bedroom condo with soon-to-be 4 kids so we looked through some houses.
On the afternoon of October 21, while looking through the house that we ultimately decided to buy, labor started again. We monitored the PWs for a while, but then had the bloody show and very intense PWs. So we headed in to the hospital – again. This time I was at 8 cm at check-in (no triage this time). In about an hour I was at 9 cm and we headed to the OR again. All this time I had been using my hypnosis tools very effectively.
One thing was very different from my DD's birth. This time, the OBs really pushed the epidural. The anesthesiologist came in to talk to me and try to convince me that epidurals are completely safe and that I should get one "just in case". I refused, stating that I was consenting to deliver in the OR "just in case". He was sure to let me know that he would be right there in the OR if I changed my mind.
It's odd, but the operating room is icy-cold! DH and our MW (the same one again), made sure I had warm blankets and tried to warm me up. Slowly I noticed that the PWs were getting less intense and spacing further out. After an hour or so I didn't need to focus to get through the PWs. I asked the MW to start some pitocin at a low level, just get things moving again. Every 30 minutes or so, they turned up the pitocin. I would get a couple of good PWs each time it got turned up, then they would taper all the way down again. I was getting discouraged – I thought pitocin was a sure thing; it never occurred to me that it would not give me hard, intense PWs!
I will never forget sitting on the operating table at midnight in a freezing cold operating room, singing great 70's and 80's rock songs with the MW and nurses, dilated to 9 cm, maxed out on pitocin, and feeling nothing. We were playing "name that song/artist" and chatting about life in general.
Finally, at around 12:30, I asked the MW to break Andrew's bag of water. Thing got really intense after that. The PWs were definitely uncomfortable at that point, but I went back to using my hypnosis tools and stayed very much in control. I felt every sensation as Andrew made his way out. There was pressure outward on my hips as Andrew pushed past William. Once Andrew was out, William began to settle into place, staying head down. William was still floating in his bag of water, and the bag didn't break until I was pushing him out. It almost felt like he got "washed" out when the water released!
Andrew arrived at 1:00 am, October 22 and William followed at 1:28 am. It was a wild ride from the water breaking to William's arrival. The intense cold of the room made it very difficult to relax the way I wanted. I birthed them both laying on my left side, but the nurse had to pry my right leg up to allow the boys to come out because I had my legs clamped together. There were only two things that I remember hurting – moving that leg and having the heart monitor touching my belly. Otherwise, it was a very satisfying experience. I felt like I was on a high for a while after the birth, even though our babies ended up in the NICU before I could hold them.
They both had 1 minute apgars of 8, but then had breathing problems at 4 minutes. They were both in my room with me within 12 hours, doing great! Both immediately nursed, having nice big mouths and perfect latches.
Both the MW and the nurses thanked me several times after the birth. Apparently it is so rare that twins are birthed naturally and even more so that the MW gets to catch both. I'm pretty convinced that I would have had a c-section if I had gotten the epidural. With that and the pitocin, I would have had failure to progress and the boys heart rates may have suffered. I am so thankful to my supportive DH and HypnoBabies. None of it would have been possible without them.
Three weeks later, I am tired but still feeling so powerful – amazing!
Andrew – 6lbs 11oz, 19 inches long
William – 6lbs 6 oz, 19 inches long

Arches National Park is a United States National Park that is in Utah's Canyon Country near the town of Moab. It is home to the world's greatest concentration of natural arches, including the famous Delicate Arch that was seen all over the world during the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
Arches National Park preserves over 2000 natural sandstone arches. This area contains the largest concentration of arches found any where in the world, including the world-famous Delicate Arch as seen on the Utah state license plate, in addition to a variety of unique geological resources and formations. In some areas, faulting has exposed millions of years of geologic history.The extraordinary features of the park, including balanced rocks, fins and pinnacles, are highlighted by a striking environment of contrasting colors, landforms and textures.
Throughout the park, rock layers reveal millions of years of deposition, erosion and other geologic events. These layers continue to shape life in Arches today, as their erosion influences elemental features like soil chemistry and where water flows when it rains. Arches is in a "high desert," with elevations ranging from 4,085 to 5,653 feet above sea level.
In 1923 Alexander Ringhoffer, a prospector, wrote the Rio Grande Western Railroad in an effort to publicize the area and gain support for creating a national park. Ringhoffer led railroad executives interested in attracting more rail passengers into the formations; they were impressed, and the campaign began. The government sent research teams to investigate and gather evidence. In 1929, President Herbert Hoover signed the legislation creating Arches National Monument, to protect the arches, spires, balanced rocks, and other sandstone formations. In 1971 Congress changed the status of Arches to a National Park, recognizing over 10,000 years of cultural history that flourished in this now famous landscape of sandstone arches and canyons.
To many, the most outstanding natural features of Arches are the park's geologic formations. Over 2,000 catalogued arches range in size from a three-foot opening (the minimum considered to be an arch), to Landscape Arch which measures 306 feet from base to base. Towering spires, fins and balanced rocks complement the arches, creating a remarkable assortment of landforms in a relatively small area.
Two unusual natural features common in Arches intrigue both scientists and visitors: cryptobiotic soil and potholes. Cryptobiotic soil is a living groundcover that forms the foundation of high desert plant life.
Potholes are naturally occurring basins or pools in sandstone that collect rainwater and wind-blown sediment. These potholes harbor organisms that are able to survive long periods of dehydration, and also serve as a breeding ground for many desert amphibians and insects. Both of these communities are very vulnerable to human impacts.
The plants and animals in Arches have many adaptations that enable them to survive these conditions. Some species are found only in this area. The diversity of organisms reflects the variety of available habitat, which includes lush riparian areas, ephemeral pools, dry arroyos, mixed grasslands and large expanses of bare rock.
Generally, the trees of Arches grow small and far away from each other. However, mixed stands of Pinyon pine and Utah Juniper, two trees that thrive in dry, rocky environments, can be found throughout the park. In Arches, there is more tree diversity in riparian environments where there is plenty of water. In such locales, trees such as netleaf hackberry, box elder, and Fremont's cottonwood can be found. Nine species of cacti can be found in the park, as well as many types of desert wildflowers and shrubs.
Nearly 50 species of mammals can be found in Arches National Park. Among the more commonly sighted mammals are mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, desert cottontail rabbit, and kangaroo rat. Other large mammals, such as the mountain lion, are present but rarely spotted.
Although Arches National Park is not a birding hot spot, 273 species of birds have been spotted in the park. Species such as Spotted Towhee and Canyon Wren can be found near water in spring and summer. In drier grasslands and pinyon-juniper woodlands of the park, Say's Phoebe, Black-throated Sparrow, Western Meadowlark, Juniper Titmouse, Pinyon and Scrub Jays, and Lucy's and Black-throated Gray Warblers are present. Common Raven will likely be seen by nearly all visitors, and can be spotted throughout the park. Cooper's Hawk and Turkey Vulture are among the birds of prey that glide above Arches' desert landscape.
Arches is home to many reptiles as well. These include 10 species of lizards and 9 types of snakes. Venomous rattlesnakes are present, but are reluctant to attack, so use common sense and caution when observing them.
Southeast Utah is part of the Colorado Plateau, a "high desert" region that experiences wide temperature fluctuations, sometimes over 40 °F (22 °C) in a single day. The temperate (and most popular) seasons are spring (April through May) and fall (mid-September through October), when daytime highs average 60 to 80°F (15 to 27°C) and lows average 30 to 50°F (-1 to +10°C).
Summer temperatures often exceed 100°F (38°C), making strenuous exercise difficult. Late summer monsoon season brings violent storm cells which often cause flash floods.
Winters are cold, with highs averaging 30 to 50°F (-1°C to +10°C), and lows averaging 0 to 20°F (-18 to -7°C). Though large snowfalls are uncommon (except in nearby mountains), even small amounts of snow or ice can make local trails and roads impassable.
Local weather conditions and forecasts are available by phone at (801) 524-5133.
Stay on the path: Throughout the park and the Southwestern national parks, you will see warnings about Cryptobiological soil. Foot prints erode the soil and destroy years of growth.
Leave your dog at home: . As the climate indicates, there is extreme heat in the summers. Perhaps more importantly, the environment is not supportive of domesticated pets. There are reasons that there are still 1000 year old corn cobs in archeological sites, items do not deteriorate like they might in your back yard. Cactus and Fido do not make for good bedfellows.
Leave only your footprints, take only photographs: Do not take rocks or any other type of souvenier from the park. Allow your grandchildren's grandchildren to see the park as you see it when you visit it. Throughout the southwest, you will walk right next to archeological sites. These are rapidly disappearing as people take just one little thing back home.
Moab's Canyonland Field Airport has daily service to Denver on Great Lakes Airlines.
The closest major airport is Salt Lake City International Airport about a 4 hour drive away by way of Interstate 15 and US Highway 6/191.
The next closest airport is Denver International Airport about 5 hours 45 minutes via Interstate 70.
The entrance to Arches National Park is located 5 miles north of Moab along US Highway 191.
Most visitors see Arches National Park on their own, driving automobiles, riding bikes or hiking. However, there are a few privately operated tour companies authorized by the National Park Service to provide visitors with guided trips into the park:
Canyonlands Tours/North American River Expeditions, 543 N. Main, PO Box 1107, Moab, UT 84532, Ph: (800) 342-5938.
Desert Highlights, 50 East Center St., PO Box 1342, Moab, UT 84532, Ph: (800) 747-1342.
NAVTEC Expeditions, 321 N. Main St., Moab, UT 84532, Ph: (800) 833-1278.
Moab Adventure Center , 225 S Main Street, Moab, UT 84532, Ph: (888) 622-4097.
Park entrance fees are $10 for private vehicles and $5 for individuals on foot, bike, or motorcycle. These fees allow entrance for seven days. Alternatively, the $85 Multi-Agency pass allows entry pass, amongst others, to all national park areas for one year. It also allows entrance to parks of other agencies. The $50 National Park Pass, which allowed entry to all national park areas for one year was discontinued by the national parks service in 2007. If the entrance booth is not manned, there is an electronic kiosk to pay the entrance fee and receive a receipt to place on your vehicle's dashboard.
A car is the most common way of exploring the park; most visitors will drive to sites and then take short walks to view the amazing geologic formations of the park. There are several four-wheel drive roads in the park's backcountry that may appeal to those with appropriate vehicles.
There are numerous trails throughout the park, providing an alternative means of travel for those not wanting to spoil the nature experience with a vehicle. Hiking at or around sunrise (5-6 am) can provide a less crowded experience and easier parking.
Although the summer heat can make a bike a masochistic way of viewing the park, in cooler months it can be a popular option. Though there are no bike lanes and traffic can be heavy at times, biking the scenic drive is a great way to see the park. The Salt Valley and Willow Springs roads are less traveled but are more suited to mountain bikes due to washboards, deep sand and other obstacles. Bicycles are only permitted on roads: there is no single track or trail riding in the park. When biking on the main road, please use caution and ride single file on the edge of the lane.
Park Avenue. A relatively easy one mile (one-way) trail located near the park entrance. The trail leads through through a steep-walled sandstone canyon with a smooth bottom. Many hikers will get dropped off at one end of the trail and picked up at the other to eliminate the need for a round-trip.
Double Arch. A 0.8 mile roundtrip leads to Double Arch, a massive joining of two arches that will be recognizable from the beginning of the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The trail is very easy and located within walking distance of the Windows.
Windows. The North & South Windows, as well as Turret Arch, are located along an easy 1.0 mile roundtrip trail.
Wolfe Ranch. Located near the beginning of the Delicate Arch trail, this ranch is a restored homestead of John Wesley Wolfe, who settled in the area in the late 1800s.
Delicate Arch. The most famous arch in the park (and perhaps in the world), Delicate Arch can be seen from a roadside turnout, from a short 0.8 mile trail, or you can take the 3.0 mile (roundtrip) trail starting from Wolfe's Ranch, gaining 480 feet of elevation, and stand underneath this natural wonder. The trail to the arch is strenuous; be sure to carry adequate water with you. Note that during peak season you are likely to be sharing the trail with many people; visiting at sunrise provides the best chance of solitude, while sunset offers the best photography.
Petrified Dunes. An overlook of the petrified dunes lies just off of the park road between the Courthouse Towers and the Windows Area. These colorful formations are ancient sand dunes, hardened into stone as additional layers built up on top of them and were later eroded away.
Fiery Furnace. The Fiery Furnace area is accessible only on ranger-led tours, which can be reserved at the visitor center. The tour leads through a maze of sandstone fins, showcasing one of the most interesting geologic areas in the park. A fee is charged for this tour and tours often sell out quickly, so trips should be booked as early as possible.
Devil's Garden Trail. Devil's Garden is a series of sandstone fissures that are home to Landscape Arch (the park's largest), Double O Arch, and numerous others. A series of trails lead to the arches, with Landscape Arch only a 1.6 mile roundtrip from the trailhead, while Double O Arch is a more strenuous 4.2 mile roundtrip. Sadly, Wall Arch, once one of the most photographed arches in the park, is no more, having collapsed in August 2008.
Klondike Bluffs. Visited by only a very small fraction of the park's tourists, Klondike Bluffs is in the northwest corner of the park and is accessible only by a dirt road or on foot. Tower Arch is located down a short trail, as is the formation known as the Marching Men.
Hiking. The park offers numerous short trails (see above) ranging in difficulty from very easy to moderate.
Photography. The park is a photographer's paradise with reddish brown rocks, distant snow-covered mountains, and fantastic rock formations. As with most places, light can be harsh during the day, so it is best to have the camera ready during the early morning hours and late evening hours. Delicate Arch and the Windows are best photographed at sunset, while the light on Landscape Arch and Double Arch is best near sunrise.
Rock climbing. Climbing is not allowed on most features named on USGS maps, but is allowed on other formations.
Backpacking. Limited water supplies and a lack of true backcountry trails limit the appeal of backpacking in the park, although backcountry use is allowed. Inquire at the visitor center for details.
Wildlife Viewing. Almost 50 species of mammal are known to live in Arches. Some, like desert cottontails, kangaroo rats and mule deer, are common and may be seen by a majority of visitors. However, many desert animals are inactive during daylight hours or are wary of humans, so sightings can be truly special events. Tracks and scat are the most common signs of an animal's presence.
There is a cooperating association sales outlet in the visitor center that offers books, maps, postcards, posters, and a variety of other educational and interpretive items. For a larger selection, the town of Moab has everything necessary to satisfy your shopping needs.
There is no food available within the park. There is a water fountain at the parking area near the Devil's Garden Trailhead. The nearby town of Moab offers a vast number of restaurants, convenience stores, and grocery stores.
There is no lodging within the park, although the nearby town of Moab has an enormous number of hotels to choose from.
There is only one campground within the park, and reservations are highly recommended. Outside of the park the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) operates several campsites (see ).
Arches is a relatively small park, with very few areas far enough from roads to qualify as backcountry. Outside the developed areas there are no designated trails, campsites, or reliable water sources.
In order to backpack in Arches, you must obtain a free backcountry permit at the visitor center. The maximum group size is twelve, but smaller groups are strongly recommended to reduce impacts. Permits may not be reserved in advance. Backpackers should know how to navigate with a topographic map, recognize safety hazards and practice low-impact camping specific to the high desert. Primary safety considerations include steep terrain, loose rock, lightning, flash floods, and dehydration.
Pets may not accompany groups in the backcountry.
Summer temperatures can reach or exceed 110°F (43°C), so it is important to carry (and consume) enough liquid to keep you hydrated. One gallon of water per person per day is recommended. When hiking on open rocky areas, be aware that lightning is a danger during storms. Also, the dry sandstone-dominated terrain is susceptible to flash floods during thunderstorms. The most intense thunderstorms occur from July through September, during monsoon season.
Many of the formations within the park are sandstone and can easily crumble when climbing. Numerous individuals must be rescued each year after they scale a formation and then discover that they cannot easily get back down; know your limitations, and be aware that it is usually easier to climb up a formation than it is to climb back down.

Air Conditioning Service
We understand all aspects of AC repair, from modern computerized components to environmental disposal concerns. Today's AC systems are fairly complex, and new improvements are always being initiated. That's why you need to turn to us, the qualified source for everything related to your air conditioning system. The following is a brief schematic of some of the basic components that comprise this system: compressor, condenser, receiver, orifice tube/expansion valve, evaporator.
When your vehicle's engine is off, the battery provides the required power to the rest of the system, as well as during start-up (cranking). It also supplements the power from the charging system during periods of high demand. Your vehicle's electrical system powers everything from the ignition and fuel systems to accessories such as your radio, headlights and wipers. The electrical system is, in turn, powered by the engine. Here are the three key components of the electrical system: Battery, Charging System, Starting System.
Belts & Hoses
Exposure to heat, vibration and contamination makes belts and hoses wear out faster than any other components in your vehicle.. That's why regular inspections are so important. Here are the belt and hose types in your vehicle, along with their applications.
Braking Systems
Brakes are one of the most important safety features that your vehicle offers. Brakes should be inspected frequently to ensure the safety of both you and your passengers. Squeaking is not the only sign that your brakes may need replacement. Grinding, vibration when braking, a squishy feel when you push your brake pedal down, or your vehicle pulling to one direction when braking. Frequent requests for brake inspections to look for issues with uneven pad wear or rotors that need turning quicker than pad replacement is needed is a good way to make sure that your vehicle has the optimum ability to brake when you need it most. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please bring your vehicle in as soon as possible so we can inspect and recommend any repairs or replacements that may be needed.
The brake system is actually composed of two kinds of systems---Hydraulics and Friction Materials.
Computerized Engine Analysis
Your vehicle's engine is a highly sophisticated piece of equipment. Federal Exhaust Emission and Fuel Economy regulations demand that today's vehicles be equipped with electronic engine control systems, to curb carbon emissions and increase fuel efficiency. With technically-advanced control systems taking the place of simple engine components, common maintenance services such as tune-ups are also a thing of the past. Regular services (such as spark plug and filter replacements) are still required, as well as a computerized analysis of your vehicle's control computer. Our trained technicians are here to provide these basic services.
A network of sensors and switches convert and monitor engine operating conditions into electrical signals. The computer receives this information, and, based on information and instructions coded within this computer program, commands are sent to three different systems: ignition, fuel, and emission control. Whenever a problem arises (as seen by that nagging "check engine" light), our techs check whatever command is prompted, in addition to the status of your engine control computer and sensors. That way you'll know if your vehicle's performance is caused by a real problem, or just a sensor/computer issue.
Cooling System Maintenance
CV & Drive Axle
Your vehicle's axle must bear the weight of your vehicle (plus any cargo) and the acceleration forces between you and the ground. So when it comes to axle inspection, we are your source for professional, knowledgeable service-essential for the equipment that carries you and your family to wherever you need to go.
A drive axle is one that is driven by the engine. A drive axle is split between two half axles, with differential and universal s between them. Each half axle is connected to the wheel by a third joint-the constant velocity (CV) joint-that allows the wheels to move freely. This joint allows the shaft to rotate, transmitting power at a constant speed without a significant increase in friction and heat. CV joints are usually dependable, but, as is the case for all of your vehicle's moving equipment, they do require regular inspection. An easy way for you to tell if you need to see us for axle repair is to go out to a large space (such as a parking lot), and slowly drive in tight circles. If you hear a clicking or cracking noise, you have a worn joint, and it must be repaired immediately.
We will have you back on the road, "click-free" in no time!
Your exhaust system is more than a muffler. It is a series of pipes that run under your vehicle, connected to your muffler and catalytic converter. The main function of your exhaust system is to control noise and to funnel exhaust fumes away from passengers. A vehicle''s exhaust system routes waste gases from the engine to the rear of the vehicle, where they are discharged into the atmosphere. Exhaust gases contain dangerous substances such as carbon monoxide, which can be hazardous if allowed to flow into the passenger housing of the vehicle. The exhaust system also converts pollutants into less harmful byproducts, reduces the noise of the engine, and directs exhaust gases so they can be used to heat air and fuel before they go into the engine's cylinders to be burned. Finally, the exhaust system provides just the right amount of backpressure into the engine to improve its fuel-burning efficiency and increase performance. Key components of your exhaust system include:
Fuel Injection Service
If you are experiencing rough idle, stalling, poor acceleration, lower fuel economy or high emissions levels, then a Fuel Injection Service could help your vehicle's performance. Fuel injectors can clog when deposits build up over time. The type of gas can also contribute to this concern. The EPA requires specific detergents be added to our fuel to prevent widespread issues of carbon deposits building up in the system, but often lower priced brands use the minimum amounts of these detergents and can cause problems. This is one of the main reasons certain manufacturers recommend specific gasoline for their vehicles, to maintain better performance over a longer period of time.
Oil change
Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommendation, for oil changes based on your individual driving habits and conditions, and have the oil changed accordingly. Typically this can range anywhere from 3000 - 7,500 miles. We will perform an oil and filter change service which includes a new filter, 5 quarts of new oil, using the oil type recommended for your vehicle, including synthetic blend, high-mileage, or full-synthetic oil. We will top off your fluids and we will check other filters, including the air filter, cabin filter, and fuel filter. We also check your vehicle's engine belts, hoses, and windshield wipers. As well as topping off all vehicle fluids.
Suspension and Steering Systems
The primary function of your vehicle's suspension and steering systems is to allow the wheels to move independently of the vehicle, while keeping it "suspended" and stable. Any play or uncontrolled motion in these systems results in a deterioration of handling and accelerated tire wear. Vehicle alignment is closely tied to the condition of the suspension and steering systems.
Worn or loose components affect the ability to control the toe angle, and may result in a loss of directional stability and accelerated tire wear. The main components of a Conventional system are:
The main components of a Rack and Pinion steering system are:
Worn or loose components affect the suspension systems ability to control motion and alignment angles, resulting in a deterioration of vehicle handling and stability, and accelerated tire wear. The main components of the suspension system are:
Tire Replacement
Check your tread depth. The easiest way to know if it's time to replace your vehicle's tires is to have them inspected by a professional, but there are ways to check them yourself by using a tire tread gauge.
Safety standard guidelines in the United States dictate that a tire's tread needs to be at least 2/32" deep. If the tires do not meet the 2/32" standard or are approaching that mark, you should replace your tires. Also, tires should not have sidewall damage or irregular wear. Irregular wear can be caused by improper alignment, overinflation, underinflation of tires, or a worn out suspension. Tires are an extremely important component of your vehicle, and it's a good idea to visually inspect them to see how they're holding up.
Tires & Wheels: Tire Rotation
Tire rotation refers to the regular practice of switching the position of each tire on the car. The purpose of Tire rotation is to help equalize tread wear and is critical to gain the maximum life from your tire investment. Refer to your owner's manual for the recommended rotation interval and pattern.The rotation pattern varies with different makes and models, which shows the tire locations during rotation. Some vehicles have different size tires on the front and back or directional tires. This limits the locations that a tire may take on the vehicle. When in doubt, check the owner's manual or consult a professional technician for guidance.Tire rotation time also offers a good opportunity to have the tires and wheels balanced. It's another step you can take to maximize your tire investment.
Transmission Maintenance
Your transmission is a complex system of gears that transmit mechanical power to your engine, ultimately determining the rate of speed you travel. Transmissions convert this power from the engine so that it can supply high torque at low speeds, in addition to selecting which gears are appropriate based on the driving conditions. This is especially true with automatic transmissions-by far the most popular transmissions found in the US. Rather than using a clutch to engage the transmission, automatic transmissions use a torque converter (between the engine and transmission) to control the number of gears when driving. Supplying the power to regulate gear action is a demanding task, which is why it's important for you to maintain your transmission by servicing it. Here are some of the essential maintenance tasks we complete:
Transmission problems typically arise when regular service is neglected. When fluids aren't properly changed, heat caused from mileage friction results in rough shifting, accelerated wear, and even complete failure. That's why it's essential that you make sure that your transmission is lubricated and cooled by the finest quality transmission fluids, installed by our service professionals.
Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment is the position of the wheels relative to your car. When properly aligned, the wheels point in the right direction. Without proper alignment, the wheels resist your steering commands, as well as each other. Alignment also affects gas mileage and tire wear. If your tires are pointed in different directions, they fight against each other and can cause tread wear. Proper wheel alignment is integral to maintaining your vehicle.
Computerized alignment equipment is used to measure all alignment angles on your vehicle.. These include both adjustable and non-adjustable angles. (Non-adjustable angles require repair or replacement of the suspension component.) The most common adjustable angles are:
Wheel Balance
Often confused with wheel alignment, a properly balanced wheel is a beautiful, perfectly tuned wheel-tire combination. This is accomplished by placing measured lead weights on the opposite side of the "heavy spot"-the noticeable tread wear on your unbalanced tire.
If your vehicle vibrating at certain speeds, say, between 50 and 70 mph, then chances are your vehicle may have a wheel that is out of balance. One section of your tire may be heavier than the others because it's endured more exposure to the friction and heat of the road. Come in for prompt, professional service-most people are very satisfied with the difference such a simple and inexpensive procedure makes. Look for one of these signs, and if you find either one, come see us:

Patellar Dislocation / Patellofemoral Dislocation
Patella (knee cap) is a protective bone attached to the quadriceps muscles of the thigh by quadriceps tendon. Patella attaches with the femur bone and forms a patellofemoral joint. Patella is protected by a ligament which secures the kneecap from gliding out and is called as medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL).
Dislocation of the patella occurs when the patella moves out of the patellofemoral groove, (called as trochlea) onto a bony head of the femur. If the knee cap partially comes out of the groove, it is called as subluxation and if the kneecap completely comes out, it is called as dislocation (luxation). Patella dislocation is commonly observed in young athletes between 15 and 20 years and commonly affects women because of the wider pelvis creates lateral pull on the patella.
Some of the causes for patellar dislocation include direct blow or trauma, twisting of the knee while changing the direction, muscle contraction, and congenital defects. It also occurs when the MPFL is torn. The common symptoms include pain, tenderness, swelling around the knee joint, restricted movement of the knee, numbness below the knee, and discoloration of the area where the injury has occurred.
Your doctor will examine your knee and suggests diagnostic tests such as X-ray, CT scan, and MRI scan to confirm condition and provide treatment. There are non-surgical and surgical ways of treating patellofemoral dislocation.
Non-surgical or conservative treatment includes:
- PRICE (protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation)
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics to treat pain and swelling
- Braces or casts which will immobilize the knee and allows the MPF ligament to heal
- Footwear to control gait while walking or running and decreases the pressure on the kneecap.
- Physical therapy is recommended which helps to control pain and swelling, prevent formation of scar of soft tissue, and helps in collagen formation. Physiotherapist will extend your knee and applies direct lateral to medial pressure to the knee which helps in relocation. It includes straightening and strengthening exercises of the hip muscles and other exercises which will improve range of motion.
Surgical treatment is recommended for those individuals who have recurrent patella dislocation. Some of the surgical options include:
- Lateral-release It is done to loosen or release the tight lateral ligaments that pull the kneecap from its groove which increases pressure on the cartilage and causes dislocation. In this procedure, the ligaments that tightly hold the kneecap are cut using an arthroscope.
- Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction – In this procedure, the torn MPF ligament is removed and reconstructed using grafting technique. Grafts are usually harvested from the hamstring tendons, located at the back of the knee and are fixed to the patella tendon using screws. The grafts are either taken from the same individuals (autograft) or from a donor (allograft). This procedure is also performed using an arthroscope.
- Tibia tubercle realignment or transfer – Tibia tubercle is a bony attachment below the patella tendon which sits on the tibia. In this procedure, the tibia tubercle is moved towards the center which is then held by two screws. The screws hold the bone in place and allow faster healing and prevent the patella to slide out of the groove. This procedure is also performed using an arthroscope.
After the surgery, your doctor will suggest you use crutches for few weeks, prescribe medications to control pain and swelling, and recommend physical therapy which will help you to return to your sports activities at the earliest.

Heinrich Roth was a seventh-generation violin maker who worked with his father, Ernst Heinrich Roth, and his brother, Albert, in the family shop in Markneukirchen, Germany. During the early 20th century, the family had built a reputation for making fine string instruments and sold many to visiting Americans. In 1922, Heinrich was persuaded by his American customers and friends to come to the United States, bringing the experience and reputation of Roth instruments with him.
After a few brief jobs in violin departments of other companies, Roth's expertise led him to manage the Simson & Frey violin department, where his reputation grew throughout the United States and abroad. In 1932, upon the retirement of Herman Simsom, Roth teamed with Max Scherl to buy the Simson & Frey firm. They renamed it Scherl & Roth. In 1938, the company moved from New York to Cleveland, Ohio, an early hub of violin manufacturing in the U.S.
After World War II, interest in string instruments bloomed as educators recognized the importance of developing school orchestras. Aiming to provide students with the finest instruments possible, Roth brought young, skilled violin makers from Europe to his Cleveland violin shop. Under Roth's guidance, these craftsmen established the finishing and adjusting techniques and standards to provide fine, affordable school instruments in large quantities. Those standards later became the basis for those adopted by Music Educator's National Conference (MENC). Soon Scherl & Roth became one of the largest string shops in the world as well as the nation's largest supplier of string instruments and accessories. The entire Scherl & Roth line became recognized as the preferred choice of many leading string educators.

[The Lar.me/2ke link originally pointed to Mike Davidson's 2005 piece. More explanations here.]
[Update, a bit later… Added some thoughts, links, and tags…]
While listening to the Critical Path podcast on 5by5 with Asymco's Horace Dediu, I got stuck on Dediu's comment that there weren't iPhone rumours when Google acquired Android. After a quick search, I ended up on this 2005 piece by Mike Davidson (written eight months before the Google purchase), so I tweeted to @Asymco with a link to Davidson's post. Several people, including Dediu himself, tell me that this wouldn't qualify as a rumour (though my own definition of rumour probably differs from theirs). Still, I've received some comments about how insightful this piece was. It was partly based on a November 2004 piece by Russell Beattie, which was itself a partial reaction to a short Ross Mayfield post about a "WiFi iPod". In comments on Davidson's piece, Ste Grainer mentioned a Robert X. Cringely piece about a Mac Media Centre.
I later found a NYT piece from 2002 which contained an actual rumour about the "iPhone", including the name:
industry analysts see evidence that Apple is contemplating what inside the company is being called an "iPhone."
This, I think, would qualify as a rumour in most people's definitions, though it didn't include "leaked prototypes".
But back to this Davidson piece, which might have been more insightful than the NYT's one or even Beattie's…
In hindsight, Davidson's piece was both prescient of what would actually happen and telling in what didn't happen. He talked about satellite radio, Plays for Sure, and WiMAX none of which panned out as planned. Also, Davidson surmised some things about Apple's "content play" which were both less ambitious and more impactful (on Apple's bottomline) than what actually happened. Apple's 2007 move against DRM might have been surprising to the 2005 Davidson. And it's funny to think back to an era when high prices for flash storage made it prohibitive to build a mobile device… 😉
Basically, though, Davidson was speculating about an integrated device which would replace several devices at once:
It won't be long before the cell phone is your camera, your music player, your organizer, your portable web client, your remote control, and your digital wallet
[We could argue about Android's NFC play being closer to the digital wallet ideal than Apple's passbook. The other parts are closer to a Treo anyway…]
In the abstract at least (and in Steve Jobs's way of describing it), the iPhone has been this integrated communicating device about which people had been talking for years. So, kudos to Mike Davidson for predicting this a while in advance. He was neither the first nor the last, but he painted an interesting portrait.
Now, there are other parts to this story, I think. Given the fact that work on what would become iOS devices (iPad first, we're told) hadn't begun when Charles Wolf told the New York Times about a device called "iPhone" internally at Apple, I get the impression that the rumours predated much of the actual development work leading to the device. Speculation happened later still. It seems to relate to a number of things demonstrated by STS generally and SCOT specifically. Namely that technological development is embedded in a broader social process.
I also find interesting some side notions in all of these pieces. For instance, ideas about the impact the device might have on people's usage. Or the fact that the move from the Treo to the iPhone ends up being quite significant, in retrospect. Even Davidson's points about headphones and retail stores seem to relate to current things. So does the existence of the iPod touch and Apple TV in Apple's lineup, addressing Mayfield and Cringely, respectively.
I also end up reflecting upon the shift from the "digital hub" strategy (peaking around 2007 or so) to the one revealed with iCloud, "Back to the Mac" and, yes, even Apple Maps. Dediu devotes much time to his mentor Clay Christensen's notion of "disruptive innovation" and spent part of this latest Critcal Path episode talking about the risks behind Apple not being disruptive enough.
All of this makes me think…
Not that I have a very clear idea of what might happen but, recently, I've been thinking about the broader picture. Including the Maps kerfuffle. The importance of social disruption. Apple's financial state and market presence. The so-called "Post-PC" era in relation to other "post-" notions (post-industrialism, post-colonialism, post-nationalism, post-modernism…). The boring nature of the Google/Apple conflict. The recent financial crisis. The tech world's emphasis on Apple. The future of academia and education. The iconicity of Steve Jobs…
As Mike Wesch has been saying:
We'll need to rethink a few things…

Thank you for your interest. While not traveling, I usually respond within 24 hours. Inquiries that are not business related will be handled as time allows.
"When you buy from an artist, you are buying more than an object. You are buying hundreds of hours of errors and experimentation. You are buying years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You're not buying just one thing, you are buying a piece of a heart, a piece of a soul... a small piece of someone else's life." - Unknown
The Print is the Performance
A print is the ultimate expression of a photograph. While browsing images on a computer monitor is nice, the true beauty of a photograph can only be realized by viewing it as a fine art print. Your investment in our prints transcends the fleeting satisfaction of viewing images on a computer or mobile device; a large fine art print provides viewing pleasure for you and your guests for years to come. If you like what you see on your computer monitor, a print will have you mesmerized. Especially when paired with acrylic, our prints have color so deep and dimensionality so real they have to be seen to be believed. Highest Quality Paper
These are not prints you would expect from the photo lab around the corner... we use only the highest quality professional paper and press available, and adhere to the highest standards for printing in the industry. Fine Art Prints are printed on professional papers selected individually for each print. These papers have an incredible gloss which creates a depth and dimensionality with colors so rich and deep, they have to be seen to be believed. In proper lighting conditions, the details appear to emerge in 3D from the depths of the image to bring the landscape to life... the colors really jump off the print! Black and White prints are printed on Ilford Galerie Silk paper, long regarded as a top choice for monochrome prints. Meticulous Attention to Detail
When purchasing a print from Exploring Light Photography, you can expect amazing color and detail as you would enjoy in a fine art gallery. Turnaround time is 2-4 weeks. This is because unlike automated print services, I prepare photographs to print for each order individually. This is a time consuming process which involves making changes in luminance, color and contrast based on the paper used, as well as sharpening for the final output print size. All of this takes time, but ensures that you will be thrilled with the final result. |
Exclusive Limited Edition
Limited Edition prints (LEPs) are exhibition quality, gallery prints produced strictly and exclusively in editions of 200, 100, or 50. When the edition is sold out, no additional prints will ever be made. These prints are highly limited, and very exclusive. Each limited edition print captures a unique moment in nature, never to be seen again; your investment in our prints will not only grow as prices rise when prints sell through the edition, but will also provide a lifetime of viewing pleasure. Limited Edition Prints are registered and shipped with a hand signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA), which guarantees the original work. LEPs are priced according to the number remaining in the edition, with prices increasing in quartiles.
ARTIST EDITION prints: A small selection of our masterworks in the ONEVision™ Collection are available as Lumachrome HD acrylic mounted prints in editions of 15. A hand signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) designated "ONEVision Artist Edition," which guarantees the original work. Artist Edition Prints are designated numbers 11-25 in the edition when applicable. ARTIST PROOF/RESERVES are designated numbers 1-10 or 1-25 and will be released at my discretion, usually when the edition has sold out. On occasion, Artist Reserve prints will be made available to the public in our Collector's Vault, or during special pre-release events. UNIQUE EDITION prints are the MOST exclusive print anyone can own. Only ONE copy of this photograph will ever be printed. This is targeted strictly for art collectors or anyone who wants to own a one of a kind piece of fine art photography. OPEN EDITION PRINTS are custom prints produced to the exact specifications as the Limited Edition Prints, but are not numbered nor of limited production. Open Edition Prints are sent with a signed, un-numbered Certificate of Authenticity. |

2012 Oscars – See All the Winners Here
The 2012 Oscars managed to include the expected and shocks all at the same time. Odds on favorite, 'The Artist', won five awards including Best Picture, Best Actor for Jean Dujardin and Best Director for Michel Hazanivicius. But 'Hugo' gave it a run for its money, also bringing home five awards (though none in the major categories).
Meryl Streep, the most-nominated actor in Oscar history, won Best Actress for 'The Iron Lady' upsetting Viola Davis, who many had expected to win for her role in 'The Help' (Davis' co-star, Octavia Spencer, did win for Best Supporting Actress). Woody Allen won another Oscar for his 'Midnight in Paris' screenplay, his fourth Academy Award and though they didn't get to perform at the show, The Muppets (namely Kermit and Miss Piggy), were on hand to introduce Cirque du Soliel and see Bret McKenzie win an Oscar for his "Man or a Muppet" song.
As for the show itself, it was standard Billy Crystal fare, which is exactly what the Academy was looking for after Eddie Murphy abruptly dropped out last year. (Though he did inspire confusion on Twitter over who the heck was hosting.) There was his opening montage featuring Justin Bieber, the usual song and dance routine about the nominated movies and the jokes about his old grandparents (you could see the 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' joke coming a mile away). Overall, there were few exceptionally memorable moments that will go down in Oscar history – the most buzzed about moment was on the red carpet when Sacha Baron Cohen, in character as Admiral Aladeen (from the upcoming movie, 'The Dictator'), "accidentally" dumped ashes on Ryan Seacrest.
In-show highlights included the 'Bridesmaids' girls playing their Martin Scorsese drinking game on stage and chugging vodka from their cleavage and Ben Stiller and Emma Stone with an inspired bit of banter for their presentation. And then, of course, there was the surprise appearance by Jennifer Lopez's nipples (which you can see here).

int MPI_Win_delete_attr(MPI_Win win, int win_keyval)
This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.
All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype, MPI_Comm) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.
All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

Buying a light bulb it's not as simple as it used to be. You're not just choosing between 100 watts and 75 watts, between three-way and one-way. Now you can choose light bulbs that will save you quite a bit of money and use less power. There are now bulbs that don't get hot, and you can pick a bulb that might last longer than you do.
Technology columnist Rich Jaroslovsky, at Bloomberg News, has been trying out the new bulbs and will enlighten us. Good morning, Rich.
RICH JAROSLOVSKY: Good morning.
WERTHEIMER: Rich, a few years ago, CFLs - compact fluorescent bulbs - seemed to be the main alternative. But now, there seems to be another switch towards LED. What is driving that? What are consumers telling us?
JAROSLOVSKY: Consumers are telling us, I think, that they have not been pleased with the experience with compact fluorescents. The quality of the light, especially the early ones, have kind of a bluish tint to it. They take time to warm up. They have trace elements of mercury so if you break one, it's kind of a big deal. So consumers have not been thrilled with the experience, so far.
WERTHEIMER: Does the LED improve that experience?
JAROSLOVSKY: The LED, in a lot of ways, is a superior technology. It doesn't have the warm-up issues. It doesn't have some of the toxicity issues. The big drawback, though, has been the price.
WERTHEIMER: Now, I have seen a 40-watt version - which you wrote about - made by a company that I never heard of called Cree. That sells for around 10 bucks. And you seem to think that it might be a game changer.
JAROSLOVSKY: Well, it's getting to that sweet spot. At $10, it's still considerably more expensive than a compact fluorescent, but it doesn't have a lot of the issues compact fluorescents have. It lasts longer, although both compact fluorescents and LEDs lasts so long, I think you begin to say, well, the difference between nine years and 16 years doesn't really make a difference to me today.
WERTHEIMER: Not many people live in a house for 16 years.
JAROSLOVSKY: No. And this, essentially, makes the concept of light bulbs burning out obsolete.
WERTHEIMER: Now, I want lighting that makes me look good. I don't want to look like the late Linda Wertheimer in my own house. Does this light bulb - does that work?
JAROSLOVSKY: Well, you do have companies like Philips - another light bulb manufacturer - that makes a system called Hue H-U-E, which you can change the colors using an iPhone or Android app on your smartphone. So you can, if you want to give yourself a rosy glow, you can simply adjust the lighting.
WERTHEIMER: So these two companies that you mentioned - Philips and Cree - are sort of leading the way. But presumably, everybody will arrive at the same general area soon.
JAROSLOVSKY: I think that that's the case. There are a lot of other companies, including very big companies - like General Electric, like 3M - that are in this space or interested in this space, and so I kind of expect we will see a lot more of these, particularly as the energy efficiency standards for traditional incandescent bulbs kick in.
WERTHEIMER: Do you imagine that people are going out and buying, you know, dozens of these bulbs and putting them up all over the house, or have they really arrived in that way yet?
JAROSLOVSKY: Well, my guess right now is that there are probably people who were going out and buying dozens of incandescent bulbs, to stockpile them against the day when they disappear from the market.
WERTHEIMER: Guilty.
JAROSLOVSKY: But...
JAROSLOVSKY: But in part, I think that's because the experience with the compact fluorescents has not been wonderful. I think as more people experience the light bulbs like the Cree and the other LED bulbs, I think some of that resistance will go away.
WERTHEIMER: Rich Jaroslovsky is the technology columnist for Bloomberg News. Rich, thank you very much for joining us.
JAROSLOVSKY: Thank you so much for having me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
