Radiation-Emitting Products
Cell Phones
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as cell phones and similar wireless devices before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, FDA does have the authority to take action if cell phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require cell phone manufacturers to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Interagency Working Group
FDA belongs to the Radiofrequency Interagency Work Group. The federal agencies in this group have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety and work to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The other agencies in this group are:
- National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
- Environmental Protection Agency
- Federal Communications Commission
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration
- National Telecommunications and Information Administration
Federal Communications Commission
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for cell phones with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). FCC certifies wireless devices, and all phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC guidelines on RF exposure. FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies on health and safety related questions about cell phones.
FCC also regulates cell phone base stations. These base stations operate at higher power than cell phones. The RF exposures people experience from base stations are typically much lower than from cell phones because base station antennas are mounted on towers or other building structures and are thus substantially farther away from the public. Both cell phones and base stations are required to comply with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
International Workgroup
For the past several years, delegations from Japan, Korea, the European Union, Australia, China, the World Health Organization, and the United States have met to discuss health concerns for wireless telecommunications. The purpose of these workshops has been to discuss scientific issues related to RF exposure from wireless communications technology from an international perspective. Specific topics addressed have included:
- health effects of emerging wireless technologies
- recent biological research
- standards development
- prospects for international collaboration related to the safety of wireless telecommunication devices.

Recession-battered merchants here are feeling more confident about the future as ambitious projects, such as the new theater, bring positive attention to the city's urban core.
The multimillion-dollar home for the Manatee Players caps off a string of new developments near downtown Bradenton that many officials and merchants believe can lift the community out of its slump.
To be sure, Bradenton faces a slew of economic hurdles, including a grim commercial vacancy rate, rising foreclosures and a job market that continues to struggle with relatively tame consumer spending.
But a $50 million influx of new investment during the last 10 months has many thinking the area is poised for a rebound.
"Any city would give their right arm to have an investment like that," said David Gustafson, executive director of the Bradenton Downtown Development Authority. "It's just a shock to see those kinds of figures spent here."
When the economy began its deep descent in Southwest Florida -- eroding the tax base, evicting families from homes and shuttering businesses that had been open for years -- Bradenton felt the pain as much as anywhere in the region.
Even as the area began to mount its financial turnaround starting two years ago, Bradenton seemed to take a back seat to places like Sarasota, where a richer arts culture, well-heeled residents and more valuable properties had helped ease the pains of the downturn.
The anchor project
Now Bradenton is jostling to make a comeback.
The anchor of the recent improvements is a 1.5-mile park stretching along the Manatee River that opened in October after years of planning and construction. Among the amenities, the $6.2 million Riverwalk project includes a splash fountain, a skate park, a beach volleyball court, a fishing pier and a 20-slip day dock.
Riverwalk is the most ambitious development the city has seen in decades, and the effort is projected to bring 100,000 new visitors to downtown Bradenton each year.
The city's orchestrated plan does not stop there.
The infamous Pink Palace building -- one of Southwest Florida's biggest eyesores -- is undergoing a $15 million facelift to transform the 1920s hotel into a 115-room Hampton Inn and Suites.
Add recent upgrades to McKechnie Field, a new beer brewery in the Village of the Arts and a piano bar downtown, and merchants are beginning to see the most significant signs of revitalization since the Great Recession started six years ago.
If the improvements help fill cash registers, that will translate into more jobs as employers return to a downtown suffering from a 36.2 percent office vacancy rate. That rate is nearly double that of any other area in Manatee and Sarasota counties, and a stark contrast to Lakewood Ranch, with its 9.2 percent, and downtown Sarasota, at 13.4 percent.
The revenue outlook
For Greg Campbell, the new theater is the crown jewel.
"I talk to guests all of the time, and they're really excited about this," said Campbell, executive chef and general manager of Pier 22, a waterfront restaurant in downtown Bradenton. "It's unbelievable to see the amount of people we're starting to get from Sarasota and St. Petersburg."
The 38,800-square-foot venue along the waterfront on Third Avenue West will house a bistro on the first floor that Campbell will operate. He also signed a deal to become the exclusive food provider for catered events in the theater's second-floor ballroom.
Campbell expects revenue to spike accordingly. So do his competitors.
At O'Bricks Irish Pub and Martini Bar, sales are up 35 percent when compared with last year -- the result of new patrons who decided to kick back with some spirits after a day at the park.
Rick Willats, a partner for the enterprise, said he thinks the new theater is the final ingredient to make the small downtown a regional destination -- with entertainment, dining, nightlife and waterfront recreation all within blocks.
Since the waterfront park opened in October, gains in consumer spending have added weight to that sentiment, with revenues collected by merchants in Manatee reaching post-recession heights. Last year, Manatee businesses grossed $9.72 billion in sales, a steady 4 percent rise from 2011, according to the Florida Department of Revenue.
Merchants expect those figures to climb further, especially as downtown projects add vitality to Bradenton.
"When we first opened three years ago, this area was pretty rough," said Willats, who also serves as president of the Old Main Street Merchants Association. "What the city has been able to accomplish in the past year alone is unbelievable."
To help ease the expected parking congestion, Bradenton will test a new trolley system for its seafood festival on April 6. The trolleys will run between downtown, Village of the Arts and the baseball stadium.
The DDA also has been in preliminary talks with suitors interested in the Manatee Players' former home of 60 years, including a group interested in opening a live music venue there.
For the first time in years, merchants have hope that each of these new ideas will only help make downtown Bradenton better.
"Foot traffic has doubled in my little store, with kids coming in for energy drinks and candy bars," said Jessie Esposito, who owns It's About Time Mini Mart.
"It's been a blessing in disguise, for sure."
As Bradenton projects gain steam, its downtown is gaining some buzz
Recession-battered merchants here are feeling more confident about the future as ambitious projects, such as the new theater, bring positive attention to the city's urban core.

For sentence two, for the sake of clarity it is best that you use the "which" clause. If you use "from" you don't need the comma. The other two are perfectly fine.
Which of these is correct:
1-I have never gone to the Sunshine restaurant, on fourth avenue.
2-Somebody stole his money, in his safe. (meaning "his money, which was in his safe". I always say "FROM his safe", but I wanted to know if "in" is necessarily wrong here.)
3-The best restaurant in town is the Sunshine retaurant, on fourth avenue.
For sentence two, for the sake of clarity it is best that you use the "which" clause. If you use "from" you don't need the comma. The other two are perfectly fine.
Thanks RonBee.
Another question, related to the first one:
1-I went to Joe's Café on Fifth Avenue.
2-I went to Joe's, on Fifth Avenue.
Does the comma really change anything here?
(I delibrately did not use "the Sunshine restaurent" because "the Sunshine restaurant on Fifth Avenue" might mean that there are a few "Sunshine restaurants" in town (it is a chain thing) and I went to the one on Fifth Avenue).
The first sentence seems to imply that there is more than one Joe's Cafe, which is certainly a possibliity. The second sentence leaves no room for doubt.Originally Posted by navi tasan
That is, I think, the usual form such a statement would take. There are several establishments in St. Louis called The Bread Company. If I would refer to The Bread Company on Grand Avenue people would know I am talking about that particular restaurant/deli. Otherwise, they might not know which one I am talking about.Originally Posted by navi tasan
That clears everything up. Thanks RonBee.
You're welcome.
I thought about this some more and as usual started to have doubts.
In order for it to become a defining clause (we are not using the comma), shouldn't one use "the"?
A1-"I went to the Joe's Café on Fifth Avenue." (Not the one on Tenth Avenue.)
We don't have this problem with RonBee's example (The Bread Company)because there already is a "the" in the name of the place.
In this case, we are not talking about a clause at all.Originally Posted by navi tasan
However, using the definite article (the) makes things clearer. If I refer to the McDonald's on South Grand it makes it clear I am talking about that particular restaurant. In fact, you can't not use the the in that case. Now, you could just say "I am going to McDonald's" and the person you are talking to may or may not know which one you are talking about.A Clause is a part of a sentence that usually contains a Subject and a Verb. It is usually connected [to] the other part of the Sentence by a Conjunction. It is not a complete sentence on its own.

Connecticut couple still leaving racist graffiti on vandalized garage door
The couple has left the marking on their home to raise awareness, but the city has issued a blight citation, which carries a $100 daily fine
The couple has left the marking on their home to raise awareness, but the city has issued a blight citation, which carries a $100 daily fine
Despite assurances that authorities are investigating a racist graffiti case that has shaken a quiet city neighborhood, the homeowner continues to refuse to conceal or remove the N-word from her garage door.
"I am not going to shut up until they do something," Heather Lindsay, who is white, said Thursday evening, two days after meeting with Stamford police detectives.
She and her partner, Lexene Charles, who is black, found the slur spray-painted outside their Bulls Head home on Jan. 14. They have refused repeated offers from the city to remove the graffiti at no cost, saying the sign helps them get police attention and make a point about racism.
The case gained national attention this week after the couple revealed that the City of Stamford issued them a blight citation, which carries a $100 daily fine and started accruing on Feb. 14.
During a news conference outside the home on Monday, the couple's attorney and representatives of the local and state NAACP chapters denounced the city's decision to fine the couple and called on police to question several of the couple's High Clear Drive neighbors who they said have harassed them in the past.
Ted Jankowski, director of public safety, said the city and the police department are taking the investigation "very seriously." He said police have not been able to find a witness who saw or heard anyone spray painting the sheet-metal garage door. The few security cameras in the area did not capture the incident.
Lindsay and one of her attorneys, Andre Cayo, met with police detectives on Tuesday. Mayor David Martin plans to meet with the NAACP on Feb. 27 to discuss the case.
Cayo, who had previously advised the couple to keep the graffiti up, has now changed his mind because of the latest police outreach. But Lindsay disagrees.
"She has decided to keep the sign because for years she's been ignored by the police," Cayo said. "If the sign makes them not ignore her anymore, she will keep it up."
Charles was not available for comment Thursday.

The weekend agreements with Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu should run the Dodgers' payroll for 2013 to $225 million. But partner Magic Johnson and general manager Ned Colletti, speaking at Monday's introductory news conference for Ryu, said the club is just fulfilling promises to fans.
"We told everybody we'd spend money to improve the team and we have, but we've done it in a disciplined way," said Johnson. "We're not just spending crazy just to do it. We do it to help the team. We feel really good about every guy we've brought in. We're doing just what we said we were going to do. "And guess who's excited -- Dodgers fans. It's good that the Dodgers' organization will go after free agents again, but do it in a disciplined way. Not a crazy way, do it just right."
Colletti was asked if the Dodgers still had money left over for a Clayton Kershaw extension. "I believe so," he said. "As we get through the next few weeks, we'll look into that. Johnson praised Colletti for delivering on management's offseason goal of upgrading the starting rotation, while Colletti said the flurry of signings is out of necessity but, hopefully, not a permanent trend. "We're not going to be doing this forever," Colletti said of new owner Guggenheim Baseball Management's spending spree, which included picking up $300 million in contract obligations with summer trades.
"Part of what we've done is catch up." After years of neglect, the Dodgers have taken on payroll and added marquee players for today while reestablishing their presence internationally by adding scouts, lavishing $42 million on Cuban Yasiel Puig and now committing nearly $62 million on Ryu. At Monday's event, packed with Asian media,
Ryu reiterated his goals of double-digit wins, an ERA in the 2's and, eventually, to surpass former Dodgers pitcher Chan Ho Park's record of 124 Major League wins as the most for a Korean. The Dodgers will happily take all of that in return for the six-year, $36 million contract they've given him. Ryu has an opt-out clause after five years. He can be traded, but he can't be sent to the Minor Leagues without his approval, a compromise for a 25-year-old left-hander who convinced Dodgers scouts he can make the adjustment from the Korean Baseball League to the Major Leagues off his step-up outings in the World Baseball Classic and the Olympics.
"He's built similar to David Wells," said new vice president of international scouting Bob Engle. "He definitely could come in and be a contributor to a Major League club immediately. He can reach back for just a little bit extra. He has real good mound presence. He has command of his pitches and of himself. He's an accomplished, polished pitcher." Ryu's signing will be followed with the official confirmation of Greinke's record six-year, $147 million deal, the pair of additions giving the Dodgers eight starters. Kershaw, Chad Billingsley and Josh Beckett join Greinke and Ryu in the rotation, while Chris Capuano, Aaron Harang and Ted Lilly become depth/excess/tradeable. "Better to have more than less," said Colletti, who will be looking to deal for a fourth outfielder, left-handed reliever and/or backup corner infielder.
"We set out to improve the depth and pitching and the caliber. I'm pleased with what we've been able to accomplish. Ryu is a big add for us." Although negotiations with Ryu came down to Sunday's deadline, that's what the Dodgers expected after having posted a $25.7 million fee for the exclusive negotiating rights to the seven-time All-Star. "We had more background on him than we typically have because of our scouting," said Colletti. "We knew he wanted to play in the Major Leagues. He was thrilled that the team was the Dodgers. We felt he didn't want to go back to Korea. We had that in the back of our mind that this was where he wanted to be and should be."
Indeed, as Park often told Ryu, the large Korean community in Los Angeles will make his transition easier than in any other North American city. Park was signed in 1994 as the first Korean to be a big leaguer. Ryu will be the first Korean Baseball League veteran to make the jump. The Dodgers also picked Park's brain on Ryu. Park told the Dodgers Ryu was youthful, but had a veteran's feel for pitching. The intro had its lighter side. Johnson, for example, issued a simple solution to any language barrier the Korean might encounter. "Just tell him to throw strikes and the communication will be fine," Johnson said.

Hi, i have a 1892 Winchester #868357 and i can not find any caliber markings. Any ideas where to look or way to find out?

Hi, i have a 1892 Winchester #868357 and i can not find any caliber markings. Any ideas where to look or way to find out?
The Winchester 1892 was factory produced in
.32-20 Winchester
.38-40 Winchester
.44-40 Winchester
.25-20 Winchester
.218 Bee (late production)
and the caliber should be marked on the barrel. The marking might be obscured by dirt or patina as the gun aged.
Winchester made approx 1,007,608 Model 1892s between 1882 and 1945. Spain also made over a million "El Tigre" copies of the 1892 in .44-40 (".44 Largo") only between 1914 and 1941.
The 1892 is a very strong action and gunsmiths have converted them to other calibers for their customers. Popular conversions include .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum and .45 Colt. If the caliber is not marked on the barrel, it could be a conversion. A gunsmith should be able to measure the bore and chamber to determine caliber if it is a converted rifle.
Thanks, that may be the case, a converted rifle. I have examined the barrel with a magnifying glass and I can find no markings.
Yes with the help of magnifying Glass you can see there are no markings at all.
Decent, need to accomplish something like this with mine.
Looking with magnifying glass is very smart thing, I am gonna do the same thing with my piece.
Thats very smart. Never thought to use one. I'm going to use it on my next piece.
Pretty good post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way Ill be subscribing to your feed and I hope you post again soon. fencing contractors melbourne

ET-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide derived from endothelial cells. It plays a role in regulation of cardiovascular functions. The binding of ET-1 to G-protein coupled receptor triggers a signal transduction cascade leading to activation of the protein kinase C (PKC). PKC inhibitor potentially reverses the up regulation of ET-1. The enhanced ET-1 expression associated with the activation of PKC occurs in early diabetes.

And the Mountains Echoed Book Review
Book Review by Ann Jonas, Tradebook Buyer - CSB/SJU Bookstores
this review was published in the St. Cloud Visitor
And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini; Riverhead Books; May 2013, 416 pp.; $28.95
Author Khaled Hosseini, author of the best-selling The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has written another stellar novel. Hosseini's previous novels are set mainly in Afghanistan; his new book And the Mountains Echoed begins in a village outside of Kabul, Afghanistan, but moves to Paris, San Francisco, and Greece.
The book begins in 1952 in Shadbagh, a poor village in Afghanistan, with 10-year-old Abdullah and his 3-year-old sister Pari listening to their father, a poor laborer, tell them a fable about a desolate farmer who gives his beloved child away to save the child and his village. The farmer is told that the child can come back to him and live a life with no future and no promise, or the farmer can cut all ties with his child, assured that the child will have a rich life, full of opportunity. The farmer chooses to leave the child behind. This fable turns out to be a portent of things to come. The next day Abdullah's father sells Pari to a wealthy couple in Kabul, breaking the heart of Abdullah, who has taken care of his sister since their mother's death three years ago. Hosseini does a masterful job of conveying the heartache that ensues.
After the beginning chapters, in which readers come to realize the great love Abdullah and Pari share and the sadness of their separation, And the Mountains Echoed moves to the story of the children's stepmother, Saboor, and how she came to marry the children's father. Soon after, the narrative shifts to Saboor's brother, Nabi, who was instrumental in bringing Pari to Kabul. Nabi is cook and chauffeur for the wealthy couple who "adopt" Pari. His story is told in the form of a posthumous letter, and encompasses the life of his boss, Sulieman. Two Afghan cousins who grow up as neighbors to Sulieman, a disfigured young woman whose mother abandons her, Sulieman's wife who takes Pari and moves to France when Sulieman suffers a stroke, and a young plastic surgeon who travels the world to heal victims of violence are some of the other narratives that are told. A number of the tales don't seem to have a connection to Abdullah and Pari, but Hosseini's knack for storytelling quickly captivates the reader.
As the stories expand and include more characters, the narratives are woven together, either by happenstance or through ancestry. The characters reside in several countries, including the United States, but Afghanistan is certainly the focal point. The first part of the book takes place mostly in the 1950s in Afghanistan. It then jumps back and forth to different time periods: 2003 to 1974, and then closer to the present time. This skipping around to different time periods and different characters can make for a difficult read, but Hosseini seems to have a way to make it work, partly because he makes his characters so authentic; readers can readily connect with them.
Hosseini, a native Afghan, was a practicing physician in California when he published his first novel The Kite Runner. His talent for writing rich, engaging tales, with tender empathy for his characters, has made him a widely read novelist. And the Mountains Echoed is his latest beautifully-written bestseller.

Gov. Greg Abbott says he's withdrawing Texas from the refugee resettlement program because the federal government refuses to provide assurances refugees don't post a security threat. Experts say, however, that the move will not stop refugees from finding a home in Texas.
Abbott first said he planned to withdraw from the program last week after asking the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Director of National Intelligence to "provide assurances that refugees resettled in Texas will not pose a security threat, and that the number of refugees resettled in Texas would not exceed the State's original allocation in fiscal year 2016."
With those requests denied, Abbott said he's pulled out of the program to prioritize the safety of all Texans while urging the government to overhaul the broken system.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Texas is the third state to leave the program, along with New Jersey and Kansas.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins told NBC 5 last week that the governor pulling out of the program won't stop the refugees from coming.
"The state government doesn't have the power to build a wall around the state and refuse to let the children come here," Jenkins said.
According the Office of Refugee Resettlement, or ORR, the director can appoint a designee to administer the assistance to refugees, if a state opts out of the program.
"ORR and its federal partners across the administration are working with states to ensure that all refugees and entrants have access to the critical support needed to help them rebuild their lives in the United States in a manner that protects them as well as the safety and security of the communities where they settle," ORR said in a statement Friday afternoon. "While we of course regret Texas' decision, ORR is working to appoint designees to administer services to refugees in Texas, until a later time when competitive bids will be accepted for a Wilson-Fish alternative program. ORR is working to prevent a disruption in the delivery of services and benefits to refugees and entrants in Texas."
Last week Bill Bernstein, deputy director of Mosaic Family Services, a state-funded program that helps refugees once they arrive in North Texas, said he was confident the federal government would find another way to channel money to the agencies serving the refugee population.
In a statement to NBC 5 Friday afternoon, ORR said refugees will continue to be resettled in Texas only after extensive screenings are conducted by the State Department and Department of Homeland Security.
In the last year, about 2,000 refugees have resettled in the Dallas area, with about one in every 10 of them coming from Syria.
NBC 5's Julie Fine contributed to this report.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Michigan Department of Environmental Quality District Supervisor Paul Owens barred all Shelby Township officials from attending a May 14 meeting between his department and representatives from Ford Motor Co. to discuss extensive environmental contamination at Ford's former auto plant at 50500 Mound Road that has spread to neighboring property.
According to a press release from Brad Bates, the Shelby Township Deputy Supervisor, after initially granting access to the Township, its attorney and environmental science experts, Owens refuted an invitation for the second time in a span of 24 hours less than six hours before the 2:30 p.m. May 14 meeting as he said Ford withdrew its participation because of the inclusion of township experts.
Township officials were initially invited to the meeting May 6 but were later barred from the meeting May 13 after Owens cited a belief that the mere presence of township representatives would lead to a confrontational environment, which would not foster productive conversation.
"Mr. Owens' belief that the Township's team of experts could not conduct itself in a courteous manner is insulting," Township Supervisor Rick Stathakis said. "Yes, this issue of environmental contamination so near our residents and parks is alarming and of the utmost concern, but it does not strip us of our ability to operate as dignified professionals."
Stathakis said that after more than an hour of discussion with Owens on matters of MDEQ transparency and responsibility to taxpayers May 13, Shelby Township was granted access with an apology, but it was short?lived as less than 24 hours later the Township was again barred from the meeting.
"Ford has known about this contamination for at least 7 years and has not taken any action whatsoever to remove it," Stathakis said. "And, knowing that, I don't know if I trust the authenticity of what transpires at these secret meetings."
Stathakis reaffirmed that Shelby Township, which is in the process of seeking a court order requiring Ford to immediately clean up the contamination that it has caused, is asking only that MDEQ provide full transparency of its meetings with Ford and Ford's submissions to the MDEQ.
"We want Ford to clean this mess up immediately, and we want full disclosure," Stathakis said. "Our residents are concerned about their health, safety, welfare, and property values and they deserve full access and information. And given that we had no hand in creating this mess, Shelby Township and its citizens deserve nothing less."
Where the controversy began
Groundwater contamination near a closed Ford Motor Company plant in Shelby Township has spread and is worse than first thought, say soil experts.
The plant, near 23 Mile Road and Mound, has been closed and was in the process of being demolished. It was sold by Ford to Visteon and than to Indiana Metals who was doing the demolition work.
The Macomb County Circuit Court hired the environmental consulting firm Dragun Corp as part of an ongoing lawsuit with Ford.
Last year Dragun Corp reported that soil samples showed health-threatening chemicals TCE and TCA present in the groundwater, reports The Oakland Press.
The company now says the situation is much worse. Read: Ford may face toxic land lawsuit
"This is a very serious situation and I am extremely concerned for the safety of all of the residents in this area," said State Representative Jeff Farrington in response to the findings.
"I will continue to monitor the situation and will do whatever I can to help make sure that a quick and thorough cleanup takes place to make the area safe again. The residents in the area deserve nothing less."
In 2012 Ford attempted to get a Protective Order to seal documents dealing with the contamination.
"The situation is far worse than what we were initially told," said State Sen. Jack Brandenburg Harrison Township. "Rep. Farrington and I will both pay close attention to any further details that are released about the pollution. This is a very serious problem that needs to be dealt with in a fast and efficient manner for the residents of Shelby Township."
Cleanup of the site could cost as much as $150 million.

Ultrasonic Rust Removal
Q. What ultrasonic frequency is best for removing corrosion on stainless steel?—O.T.
A. Most often, rust removal is accomplished with the use of an acid cleaner or, occasionally, strong alkaline cleaners. Generally, ultrasonics alone in a simple medium of water would not be sufficient to remove most rust deposits. Ultrasonic solutions are more effective when used after they have been "degassed" which involves boiling or heating the solution above the operating temperature of the bath. This is because the dissolved gases in a bath can lower the effectiveness of the ulatrosonic cavitations.
Based on this, I would not recommend the use of an ultrasonic bath if you are using an acid cleaner to remove the rust residues. The acid cleaner will generate a certain amount of hydrogen gas at the part surface that would decrease the efficiency of the ultrasonic process. An alkaline cleaning process would not have the same surface reactions, so you would find the use of ultrasonics more effective. If using ultrasonics to provide a boost to the rust removal process, I would expect a lower frequency to have more energy to remove some of the rust. I would recommend a frequency in the range of 20-40 kHz.

When architects look at the built environment today, it can't help but be with profound misgivings. They're still working on projects, but the most ambitious designers are concentrating on building out, rather than building up, on moving people through interfaces rather than cities. Foundations and blueprints are replaced by schematics and entity relationship maps: architectures not of form, but of information. The fundamental unit of design isn't so much a site as it is a platform. And today, engineering a new society involves relentless ideation, a messianic vision, and— most crucially— a whiteboard.
"Whiteboarding," used as a verb, is a sort of lingua franca of the technologist— a new international style that reconstitutes the very assumptions of digital design, from interfaces and software diagrams to database structures. Though not new, this apparatus has recently become associated with a new kind of creative, a new type of thinker/tinkerer, and thus the whiteboard takes on new meaning vis-a-vis the economy, privilege, and power. Used and abused, it is a significant artifact of the present age of networked capital. If we were to construct a museum-like period room to represent the tech start-up of the new millennium, its walls would be whiteboards.

The department of music at Hope College will feature folk artist Jackie Tice in performance on Friday, March 6, at 7:30 p.m. in Wichers Auditorium of Nykerk Hall of Music.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
A Kerrville New Folk Award-winner, Tice co-mingles her Native American and old European roots to create her own lyrical and musical style, with subjects as diverse as the live of Magdalene women, Shakespearian love and the call of coyotes.
Radio programmers from New York City and Boston to Chicago and San Francisco have heralded Tice with banners like, "Best new songwriter," and "A stand-out!" With the release of her most recent CD, "Second Skin," Tice has made full use of her award-winning performing and song writing skills. Produced by 2005 Native American Grammy winner Bill Miller in a week-long studio marathon in Bucks County, Pa., the CD features Tice stepping up and out with 10 songs spanning pop-rock, jazz and folk styles. "She writes songs with messages," says Miller.
Raised in a Pennsylvania steel mill town with a family of 12, Tice grew up fast and with enough songwriting fodder "to last a lifetime," she says. Forays into social work and college music theory eventually led her back to performance and songwriting and her strong Native spiritual roots. Today, she has four albums to her credit, artist endorsement deals with John Pearse Strings and Audix Microphones, and a long list of awards from major music media in the US, Australia, Italy and Canada.
Nykerk Hall of Music is located in the central Hope campus at the former 127 E. 12th St. between College and Columbia avenues.

51 Percent of CIOs Planning Tablet Deployments in 2011
Company-subsidized tablets may outnumber their employee-owned counterparts sooner than expected.
Morgan Stanley recently surveyed 50 enterprise CIOs about current and future tablet deployments and came back with some pretty astonishing findings: 21 percent of them are already purchasing tablets for employees and 51 percent expect to begin doing so in the coming year. In total, 67 percent of the CIOs surveyed said they're either planning to deploy tablets or provide support for employee-owned ones this year. Now the scope of these deployments remains to be seen, but the fact that so many are being budgeted suggests the tablet is gaining meaningful traction in enterprise.
And if you're dubious of that claim, consider this: Pads accounted for 29 percent of new enterprise activations of Good Technology software in December 2010, up from 25 percent the month prior. Clearly, there's growing corporate interest in the tablet, which means there are growing opportunities for companies that provide enterprise software solutions for it–mobile security vendors like Check Point, desktop virtualization companies like VMware and cloud-based applications outfits like Salesforce.com.

18. Dothan in Samaria
Dothan is characterized by ridges and valleys. It is good pastureland. When the Israelites settled the land, this region was given to Manasseh.
Significant Events: In Dothan Valley, Joseph was sold into Egypt (Gen. 37:12–28). Obadiah saved a hundred prophets by hiding them in caves when Jezebel tried to kill the prophets of Israel (1 Kgs. 18:13). The Syrian army surrounded Elisha and his servant, whom the Lord miraculously saved (2 Kgs. 6:13–23). (See BD Dothan.)

SQL Saturday 94 in Salt Lake City is fast approaching. Will you be there? I submitted three sessions in hopes of maybe getting one selected. Last year, I only submitted one at the inaugural SLC SQLSaturday. I even blogged about my experiences with that one (here and here).
The next time I presented for SQLSaturday was for Johannesburg a few months ago (their inaugural event too). And, true to form, I blogged about that (here and here).
Each of those experiences, I gave the same presentation. This year, for SLC, I added two presentation submissions about Reporting Services and about Table Compression. Neither of those was selected. The Documentation presentation was selected again. I had hoped to get to present one of the other two. That is all well and good though.
Since the last time I presented, I learned more. I have refined some of the queries a bit. I have also refined the topic a bit. It should go much better this time. Are you coming to SQL Saturday 94? I hope to see you there!! If you come, you will be faced with a great dilemma. Which outstanding content will you witness and attend in order to learn?
And if you don't come for the learning, then come for the networking. If not for the networking, then come to at least check out the sponsors (like SQL Solutions Group or myself – yup I am a sponsor this year).

Email: email@example.com
CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO expertise is organised into 11 research areas
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.
The player will show in this paragraph
Australia is a marine nation.
Our ocean territory extends from the tropical reefs and mangroves of the Timor Sea, to the frozen expanses of Antarctica.
Our oceans are vital for social, cultural, and economic reasons.
They are part of who we are; part of our national identity.
Our marine environment attracts many domestic and international tourists, and provides us with food and resources.
By 2025 marine based industries such as fishing, aquaculture, tourism, shipping and ship building, and oil and gas production, will be contributing nearly $100 billion annually to the Australian economy.
And this blue economy, which supports regional communities across the nation, has the potential to deliver even more.
But we face a substantial challenge when developing our oceanic resources. We need to maximise the economic and social benefits, while being mindful of the need for efficient, equitable, and sustainable operations.
With the third largest marine territory in the world our oceans hold great potential for Australia's future.
Marine science plays a vital role in unlocking, developing, and managing that potential, and is the key to delivering solutions for some of our most pressing challenges facing our society.
Given the complexity of these challenges, and the scale of the effort required, there is no single organisation or agency with the skills, capability and infrastructure to deliver all the outcomes our nation needs. It is essential for Australia to develop a coordinated national approach to marine research that harnesses the collective capabilities of these organisations.
Recent collaborations, which have resulted in successful development of new national marine science infrastructure, are a good start, but more needs to be done.
The commissioning of the RV Investigator, a state of the art ocean going research vessel, will provide greater capacity to conduct research in more environments.
The establishment of world leading laboratory facilities, such as the National Tropical Sea Simulator, will provide a quantum step in our ability to examine the impacts of global change in development for marine science.
The Integrated Marine Observing System, a cutting edge ocean monitoring network, is now generating valuable data sets.
Continued investment will allow long term monitoring and detection of ecosystem changes, an essential tool for sustainable management of our marine resources.
Alongside collaborative investments in research infrastructure, Australia's marine challenges will only be met by increased investment in human capabilities.
Multidisciplinary training and collaboration within and beyond our shores is vital to strengthen Australia's marine research capacity and research outcomes.
Over the coming decades Australia will face many major issues that demand wise decisions.
Australia's marine science community has developed a shared vision for navigating a course towards a sustainable blue economy.
Oceans cannot become a forgotten frontier. Understanding our oceans and our complex relationship with them will help us achieve the best social, economic, and environmental outcomes for Australia.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
All professional education content courses leading to certification shall include teaching and assessment of the Wisconsin Content Standards in the content area.
In this column, list the Wisconsin Content Standards that are included in this course. The Standards for each content area are found in the Wisconsin Content Standards document.
In this column, indicate the nature of the performance assessments used in this course to evaluate student proficiency in each standard.
The structures within the discipline, the historical roots and evolving nature of mathematics, and the interaction between technology and the discipline.
Examples appear in class, on tests, and in assignments that show the use of technology to simulate Markov Chains and other random processes. The models studied in this course are classical and frame the basic questions that are at the heart of the development of modern probability theory. These models arise frequently in the mathematical formulation of problems encountered in real-world settings.
Facilitating the building of student conceptual and procedural understanding.
Markov chains and other basic random processes that are studied in this course have both well-defined procedural solutions and an underlying mathematical theory that lends itself to a conceptual understanding of these solutions.
Helping all students build understanding of the discipline including:
. Confidence in their abilities to utilize mathematical knowledge.
. Awareness of the usefulness of mathematics.
. The economic implications of fine mathematical preparation.
The problems on homework assignments and exams require students to integrate a rich background of material from Calculus and Discrete Mathematics. Many "real-world" problems can be formulated in terms of Markov Chains and other basic random processes that are studied in this course. The examples that we study from queuing theory and other topics in this course arise in the form of optimization problems that on a larger scale, such as is encountered in industry, are of considerable economic importance.
Exploring, conjecturing, examining and testing all aspects of problem solving.
A strong emphasis is placed on problem solving in this course. The use of computers to simulate random processes yield important opportunities to carry out the multiple stages of active problem solving.
Formulating and posing worthwhile mathematical tasks, solving problems using several strategies, evaluating results, generalizing solutions, using problem solving approaches effectively, and applying mathematical modeling to real-world situations.
The determination of steady-states solutions for Markov Chains can be approached in several directions - recurrence relations, matrix operations. The determination of recurrence times and the times needed to reach certain ergodic states can be developed as generalizations of geometric random variables. The results so obtained can be verified through the simulation by a computer of the accompanying random processes.
Making convincing mathematical arguments, framing mathematical questions and conjectures, formulating counter-examples, constructing and evaluating arguments, and using intuitive, informal exploration and formal proof.
Students are required to reproduce the proof of certain classical theorems, i.e.,, those that characterize certain process as being Poisson processes based on their being time invariant, etc.
Expressing ideas orally, in writing, and visually-, using mathematical language, notation, and symbolism; translating mathematical ideas between and among contexts.
Students regular submit homework assignments and take exams; in-class participation is strongly encouraged.
Connecting the concepts and procedures of mathematics, drawing connections between mathematical strands, between mathematics and other disciplines, and with daily life.
The mathematical models encountered in this course have a celebrated place in the study of gambling and the growth of populations.
Selecting appropriate representations to facilitate mathematical problem solving and translating between and among representations to explicate problem-solving situations.
Where possible, the models encountered in Advanced Probability are translated into terms that allow them to be solved by using calculus or discrete mathematics.
Mathematical processes including:
. Problem solving.
. Communication.
. Reasoning and formal and informal argument.
. Mathematical connections.
. Representations.
. Technology.
In class work and out-of-class assignments lead to the development of problem solving and communication on the part of the student. The topics in advanced probability introduce problems whose solutions introduce the mathematical concepts from any one of a number of other mathematics courses in the curriculum: discrete mathematics, calculus, linear algebra, mathematical programming, differential equations, and abstract algebra.
Number operations and relationships from both abstract and concrete perspectives identifying real world applications, and representing and connecting mathematical concepts and procedures including:
. Number sense.
. Set theory.
. Number and operation.
. Composition and decomposition of numbers, including place value, primes, factors, multiples, inverses, and the extension of these concepts throughout mathematics.
. Number systems through the real numbers, their properties and relations.
. Computational procedures.
. Proportional reasoning.
. Number theory.
Mathematical concepts and procedures, and the connections among them for teaching upper level number operations and relationships including:
. Advanced counting procedures, including union and intersection of sets, and parenthetical operations.
. Algebraic and transcendental numbers.
. The complex number system, including polar coordinates.
. Approximation techniques as a basis for numerical integration, fractals, and numerical-based proofs.
. Situations in which numerical arguments presented in a variety of classroom and real-world situations (e.g., political, economic, scientific, social) can be created and critically evaluated.
. Opportunities in which acceptable limits of error can be assessed (e.g., evaluating strategies, testing the reasonableness of results, and using technology to carry out computations).
In Advanced Probability, advanced counting techniques are used in enumerating the number of ways in which a given event can occur. These methods of enumeration are then reformulated in terms of linear algebra and matrix operations. The answers to queries about the random processes that we study have values that can be intuited from a basic consideration of the qualitative properties of the process. This relationship allows students the opportunity to assess the reasonableness of their results. The underlying use of linear algebra, matrix methods, and differential equation in Advanced Probability allows for the use of technology to carry out the computations therein.
Geometry and measurement from both abstract and concrete perspectives and to identify real world applications, and mathematical concepts, procedures and connections among them including:
. Formal and informal argument.
. Names, properties, and relationships of two- and three-dimensional shapes.
. Spatial sense.
. Spatial reasoning and the use of geometric models to represent, visualize, and solve problems.
. Transformations and the ways in which rotation, reflection, and translation of shapes can illustrate concepts, properties, and relationships.
. Coordinate geometry systems including relations between coordinate and synthetic geometry, and generalizing geometric principles from a two-dimensional system to a three-dimensional system.
. Concepts of measurement, including measurable attributes, standard and non-standard units, precision and accuracy, and use of appropriate tools.
. The structure of systems of measurement, including the development and use of measurement systems and the relationships among different systems. Measurement including length, area, volume, size of angles, weight and mass, time, temperature, and money.
. Measuring, estimating, and using measurement to describe and compare geometric phenomena.
. Indirect measurement and its uses, including developing formulas and procedures for determining measure to solve problems.
The study of two-dimension random walk introduces the technique of identifying the arrival times for certain symmetrically placed sites as being equal; this use of symmetry allows one to reduce the size of the state space that must be employed in the construction of equations for the arrival times of the random walk on the sites of a lattice.
Mathematical concepts, procedures, and the connections among them for teaching upper level geometry and measurement including:
. Systems of geometry, including Euclidean, non-Euclidean, coordinate, transformational, and projective geometry.
. Transformations, coordinates, and vectors and their use in problem solving. Three-dimensional geometry and its generalization to other dimensions. Topology, including topological properties and transformations.
. Opportunities to present convincing arguments by means of demonstration, informal proof, counter-examples, or other logical means to show the truth of statements and/or generalizations.
Statistics and probability from both abstract and concrete perspectives and to identify real world applications, and the mathematical concepts, procedures and the connections between them including:
. Use of data to explore real-world issues.
. The process of investigation including formulation of a problem, designing a data collection plan, and collecting, recording, and organizing data.
. Data representation through graphs, tables, and summary statistics to describe data distributions, central tendency, and variance.
. Analysis and interpretation of data.
. Randomness, sampling, and inference.
. Probability as a way to describe chances or risk in simple and compound events.
. Outcome prediction based on experimentation or theoretical probabilities.
Mathematical concepts, procedures, and the connections among them for teaching upper level statistics and probability including:
. Use of the random variable in the generation and interpretation of probability distributions.
. Descriptive and inferential statistics, measures of disbursement, including validity and reliability, and correlation.
. Probability theory and its link to inferential statistics.
. Discrete and continuous probability distributions as bases for inference.
. Situations in which students can analyze, evaluate, and critique the methods and conclusions of statistical experiments reported in journals, magazines, news media, advertising, etc.
The use of random variables, such as the state of a Markov chain, as well as the arrival and recurrence times for the same, are ubiquitous in Advanced Probability.
Functions, algebra, and basic concepts underlying calculus from both abstract and concrete perspectives and to identify real world applications, and the mathematical concepts, procedures and the connections among them including:
. Patterns.
. Functions as used to describe relations and to model real world situations.
. Representations of situations that involve variable quantities with expressions, equations and inequalities and that include algebraic and geometric relationships.
. Multiple representations of relations, the strengths and limitations of each representation, and conversion from one representation to another.
. Attributes of polynomial, rational, trigonometric, algebraic, and exponential functions.
. Operations on expressions and solution of equations, systems of equations and inequalities using concrete, informal, and formal methods.
. Underlying concepts of calculus, including rate of change, limits, and approximations for irregular areas.
Recurrence times, first arrival times, and occupation probabilities are frequently calculated by solving systems of equations.
Mathematical concepts, procedures, and the connections among them for teaching upper level functions, algebra, and concepts of calculus including:
. Concepts of calculus, including limits (epsilon-delta) and tangents, derivatives, integrals, and sequences and series.

Charge host Mad Ants in matchup of first-place teams.
Sole possession of first place in the NBA Development League's East Division is at stake when the Fort Wayne Mad Ants come to Memorial Civic Center for Wednesday's 7 p.m. game against the Charge.
The game is important to Charge head coach Steve Hetzel for a different reason: It's the next game.
"I try to emphasize every game being that important," Hetzel said. "You don't want to get too high or too low. Your focus remains the same. We've got a long season ahead of us, so we don't really mark our calendar for anybody except the next game."
To Hetzel's point, Wednesday's game is Canton's fourth in six days. It is part of a stretch of six games in nine days.
"It's not a football game that you prepare all week for," he said.
The Charge and Mad Ants enter the game with identical 14-8 records. No other team is closer than five games from the top of the division.
The Mad Ants enter the game hot, having won four straight and seven of their last eight. The Charge players are well aware of the situation.
"We look at where other teams are at. We know this is a huge game coming up," forward Shane Edwards said. "We've got to take care of business at home."
The Mad Ants beat the Charge on consecutive nights last month. On Dec. 21, the Mad Ants rallied from 20 down in the third quarter to win in overtime 106-102 at Canton. It is one of just two home losses for the Charge this season. The next evening, after both teams traveled to Fort Wayne, the Charge couldn't return the favor. They rallied from a big deficit but fell short, losing 88-85.
Both teams have changed a bit since the previous matchups. Notably, one of the Mad Ants starters now comes off Canton's bench.
The Charge traded a second-round draft pick and the rights to Brady Morningstar to Fort Wayne for 6-foot-7 forward Olek Czyz on Jan. 2. Czyz has progressively earned more time for the Charge, culminating in the past two games.
Known more as a leaper, Czyz made 5 of 6 3-pointers and scored 17 points in Canton's 118-105 win in Springfield on Sunday. He followed that with nine points and nine rebounds — six of them offensive — in Monday's 99-94 win against Maine.
"He's got a great way about him," Hetzel said about the native of Poland. "He's a super-high energy guy. The rest of the team has really embraced him. … He's been a great addition to our team."
Another change with the Charge is the emergence of Gilbert Brown, who was out of the rotation and working his way back from a groin injury the last time Canton faced Fort Wayne. Now, Brown is entrenched in the starting lineup. He scored in double figures nine straight games before having that streak snapped Monday.
Brown injured an ankle in the third quarter of Monday's game and did not return. It did not appear serious, but his status for tonight is unknown.
Cavaliers recall Felix
The Cavaliers recalled rookie swingman Carrick Felix from the Charge on Tuesday.
Felix spent three games with the Charge on this most recent assignment. He scored 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting, including 2-of-3 from
3-point range, to go with seven rebounds and four steals in Friday's
110-103 loss at Springfield. But Felix's play waned in the next two games, leading to seven points and 1-of-8 shooting in Monday's win at Memorial Civic Center.
Overall in 10 games with the Charge, the 6-foot-6 Felix is averaging 10.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals. He's shooting 40.8 percent from the floor and 28.6 percent from the 3-point line.

Thor – Available in 3D as well as 2D, my favorite comic book movie of the summer wields its thunderous hammer in stunning high-definition. Director Kenneth Branagh proves that he's just as adept at making popcorn action romps as he is stuffy British epics, telling the origin story of the Norse god-turned-superhero with aplomb. Chris Hemsworth fills out the breastplate well, and Anthony Hopkins is stately as Thor's disapproving father, Odin. Natalie Portman co-stars, as she has done in seemingly every other movie the past couple years. The Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy trifecta includes Branagh's commentary and 11 deleted scenes.
The Big Bang Theory: Season 4 – The nerdstravaganza continues to pick up steam as it rolls through its fourth season, dropping astute unpopular culture references while crafting some genuinely funny situation comedy about the misshapen social circle of a bunch of geeky geniuses. A delightfully robotic Mayim Bialik is a perfect complement to the cast. The most notable special feature is a peek inside the filming of an episode, and there are also some lighthearted cast interviews, with the interviewing being done by other cast members.
Camelot: Season 1 – A searing Joseph Fiennes stars as medieval sorcerer Merlin in this searing Starz drama, which blends the King Arthur Legend with the sensibilities of The Tudors. Jamie Campbell Bower plays the young Arthur, and Eva Green is Morgan, his evil, undermining sister. Lush scenery, strong performances and clever writing help the season get better as it goes. Scene breakdowns and several featurettes, including looks at the knights and women of the show, fill out the round table.
Citizen Kane 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition Blu-ray – The landmark 1941 Orson Welles drama, which many hail as the greatest ever made, receives a fitting tribute in this lavish set, which makes the black-and-white epic blossom in HD. Welles directs and plays the protagonist, a ruthless media baron who gobbles up people and power while lamenting his lost youth. Warner Home Video doesn't quite pull out as many stops as it did in 2009 for the Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz 70th anniversaries, it still stuffs the box with all manner of extras, although none of them appear to be new. The three discs include RKO 281, the 1999 HBO drama about the movie's making, a 48-page book about the film and its impact, a reproduction of the movie's 1941 program, deleted scenes and interviews with film historians and actors. Unfortunately there's no digital copy.
Glee: Season 2 – The sophomore go-round for the pop culture phenomenon isn't quite as stunning as the first season, but definitely has its high points — usually when the series steers away from After School Special-style preaching and sticks to its magical realism-infused showstopping, well-choreographed song and dance numbers. A well-stacked slate of extras includes a Glee virtual jukebox, behind-the-scenes peeks at the guest stars' experiences, as well as closer looks at several of the show's funnier characters, including Sue and Brittany.
Hesher – Joseph Gordon-Levitt steps out of his comfort zone to play a trashy, unkempt thug who unilaterally decides to squat in the home of a man and his boy following the death of the woman of the family. A tenuous friendship begins to form between the thug and the child, who harbors a hopeless crush on a grown woman (Natalie Portman). A dark comedy with more than a touch of heart, Hesher is an unexpected treasure. Deleted scenes and a few behind-the-scenes clips are included.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 6 – Although the insanely hilarious sitcom, about a group of fairly clueless and evil friends who badly run a dive bar, has finally plateaued over the past couple seasons, it's still by far my favorite on TV, which is why late-night Thursdays are holidays in my living room. The extras, as usual, are strong, with commentary tracks for four of the best episodes — The Gang Buys a Boat, Who Got Dee Pregnant? Charlie Kelly: King of Rats and The Gang Gets Stranded in the Woods. Deleted scenes, an extended cut of the pathetic-yet-perfect Lethal Weapon 5 home movie from one of the episodes and Dennis and Dee's podcasts make up the extras.
Just Peck – The tragically underused Brie Larson (United States of Tara) is the main attraction of this indie high school comedy, in which she plays a popular girl whose real life is revealed to be a torrent of despair and loneliness. She takes a shining to Peck (Keir Gilchrist, who played Larsen's brother on Tara), an outcast who defiantly marches to the beat of his own broken drum. The charming story has shades of Can't Buy Me Love and Say Anything, and is well worth a look for those who adore diamonds in the rough.
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena – The Starz prequel series to Spartacus: Blood and Sand edges closer to soft-core porn territory, gratuitously shoehorning in lavish sex scenes at just about every opportunity, reveling in the bacchanalia of Ancient Rome. There's also a compelling story going on, detailing the rise of the gladiator Gannicus (Dustin Claire) to battle his way to success in the arena amid the backdrop of political treachery. Lucy Lawless steps into the show in a supporting role, lending it some late-night geeky TV cred. A behind-the-scenes featurette about Lawless, as well as brief looks at the costumes, weapons and special effects buff up the package.
Trainspotting Blu-ray – Danny Boyle's kinetic 1996 drama explores the plights of Scottish heroin addicts who struggle to get by in the 1980s. Wildly creative shot selection and presentation blend with excellent performances by a strong cast led by Ewan McGregor help the film maintain its iconic status 15 years on. Boyle and McGregor are joined by a screenwriter and producer in a commentary track in the Blu-ray/digital copy combo, and there's also a making-of documentary and retrospective.
Wishful Drinking – In a painfully funny and incisive film of Carrie Fisher's Broadway show, which is based on her 2008 autobiography, Fisher places her stunning wit and intellect on display. She finds ironic joy and humor in some dark spots in her life, including substance abuse, failed relationships and the struggles of aging. Fisher proves to be an able stand-up comic who is prepared to launch yet another promising act to a storied career. The DVD features few notable extras.
Conan O'Brien Can't Stop – After the iconic TV personality was ousted in a game of musical night show hosts, Conan O'Brien took to the streets for a therapeutic stand-up tour. The film has echoes of the 2002 Jerry Seinfeld doc Comedian, as it not only shows O'Brien at the top of his game, but also peeks into his insecurities and fears. Deleted scenes and commentary from O'Brien and the filmmakers round out the package.
Phil's novel, Stormin' Mormon, is available as a Kindle book for $1.

Heather Ann Kaminsky was released from the Putnam County Jail on Wednesday so she could be returned to Laurel County, Kentucky, where she is wanted on a felony warrant for human trafficking after allegedly trading her newborn son for a 1999 Dodge Dakota pick-up truck shortly after his birth in January, according to a news release from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators said she then sold the truck for $800.00 — along with some methamphetamines.
Kaminsky previously had two other children taken from her by the Florida Department of Children and Families, the release stated.
The couple who traded their truck for the baby, Jeremy and Jamiee Brown, of Laurel, Kentucky will also face human trafficking charges, according to the report.

I think Heart of Darkness is a really bad choice for a graphic novel retelling — too much of its power lies in the magnificent narrative voice, e.g.:
I looked at him, lost in astonishment. There he was before me, in motley, as though he had absconded from a troupe of mimes, enthusiastic, fabulous. His very existence was improbable, inexplicable, and altogether bewildering. He was an insoluble problem. It was inconceivable how he had existed, how he had succeeded in getting so far, how he had managed to remain -- why he did not instantly disappear. 'I went a little farther,' he said, 'then still a little farther -- till I had gone so far that I don't know how I'll ever get back. Never mind. Plenty time. I can manage. You take Kurtz away quick -- quick -- I tell you.' The glamour of youth enveloped his parti-coloured rags, his destitution, his loneliness, the essential desolation of his futile wanderings. For months -- for years -- his life hadn't been worth a day's purchase; and there he was gallantly, thoughtlessly alive, to all appearances indestructible solely by the virtue of his few years and of his unreflecting audacity. I was seduced into something like admiration -- like envy. Glamour urged him on, glamour kept him unscathed. He surely wanted nothing from the wilderness but space to breathe in and to push on through. His need was to exist, and to move onwards at the greatest possible risk, and with a maximum of privation. If the absolutely pure, uncalculating, unpractical spirit of adventure had ever ruled a human being, it ruled this bepatched youth. I almost envied him the possession of this modest and clear flame. It seemed to have consumed all thought of self so completely, that even while he was talking to you, you forgot that it was he -- the man before your eyes -- who had gone through these things. I did not envy him his devotion to Kurtz, though. He had not meditated over it. It came to him, and he accepted it with a sort of eager fatalism. I must say that to me it appeared about the most dangerous thing in every way he had come upon so far.
This can't be represented graphically any more than a Picasso can be represented textually.
