Get the Facts...
Alcohol affects your brain. Drinking alcohol leads to a loss of coordination, poor judgment, slowed reflexes, distorted vision, memory lapses, and even blackouts.
Alcohol affects your body. Alcohol can damage every organ in your body. It is absorbed directly into your bloodstream and can increase your risk for a variety of life-threatening diseases, including cancer.
Alcohol affects your self-control. Alcohol depresses your central nervous system, lowers your inhibitions, and impairs your judgment. Drinking can lead to risky behaviors, such as driving when you shouldn't, or having unprotected sex.
Alcohol can kill you. Drinking large amounts of alcohol at one time or very rapidly can cause alcohol poisoning, which can lead to coma or even death. Driving and drinking also can be deadly. In 2003, 31 percent of drivers age 15 to 20 who died in traffic accidents had been drinking alcohol.1
Alcohol can hurt you--even if you're not the one drinking. If you're around people who are drinking, you have an increased risk of being seriously injured, involved in car crashes, or affected by violence. At the very least, you may have to deal with people who are sick, out of control, or unable to take care of themselves.
Alcohol is a depressant. Which means it slows the function of the central nervous system. Alcohol actually blocks some of the messages trying to get to the brain. This alters a person's perceptions, emotions, movement, vision, and hearing.
In very small amounts, alcohol can help a person feel more relaxed or less anxious. More alcohol causes greater changes in the brain, resulting in intoxication. People who have have to much alcohol may stagger, lose their coordination, and experience slurred speech. They will probably be confused and disoriented. Depending on the person, intoxication can affect ones personality, make someone very friendly and talkative or very aggressive and angry. Reaction times are slowed dramatically — which is why people are told not to drink and drive. People who are intoxicated may think they're moving properly when they're not. They may act totally out of character.
When large amounts of alcohol are consumed in a short period of time, alcohol poisoning can result. Alcohol poisoning is exactly what it sounds like — the body has become poisoned by large amounts of alcohol. Violent vomiting is usually the first symptom of alcohol poisoning. Extreme sleepiness, unconsciousness, difficulty breathing, dangerously low blood sugar, seizures, and even death may result.
Before You Risk It...
Know the law. It is illegal to buy or possess alcohol if you are under age 21.
Get the facts. One drink can make you fail a breath test. In some States, people under age 21 can lose their driver's license, be subject to a heavy fine, or have their car permanently taken away.
Stay informed. "Binge" drinking means having five or more drinks on one occasion. Studies show that more than 35 percent of adults with an alcohol problem developed symptoms--such as binge drinking--by age 19.2
Know the risks. Alcohol is a drug. Mixing it with any other drug can be extremely dangerous. Alcohol and acetaminophen--a common ingredient in OTC pain and fever reducers--can damage your liver. Alcohol mixed with other drugs can cause nausea, vomiting, fainting, heart problems, and difficulty breathing.3 Mixing alcohol and drugs also can lead to coma and death.
Keep your edge. Alcohol is a depressant, or downer, because it reduces brain activity. If you are depressed before you start drinking, alcohol can make you feel worse.
Look around you. Most teens aren't drinking alcohol. Research shows that 71 percent of people 12-20 haven't had a drink in the past month.4
Why Do Teens Drink?
Experimentation with alcohol during the teen years is common. Some reasons that teens use alcohol and other drugs are:
- curiosity
- to feel good, reduce stress, and relax
- to fit in
- to feel older
From a very young age, kids see advertising messages showing beautiful people enjoying life — and alcohol. And because many parents and other adults use alcohol socially — having beer or wine with dinner, for example — alcohol seems harmless to many teens.
Why Shouldn't I Drink?
Although it's illegal to buy alcohol in the United States until the age of 21, most teens can get access to it. It's therefore up to you to make a decision about drinking. In addition to the possibility of becoming addicted, there are some downsides to drinking:
The punishment is severe. Teens who drink put themselves at risk for obvious problems with the law (it's illegal; you can get arrested). Teens who drink are also more likely to get into fights and commit crimes than those who don't.
People who drink regularly also often have problems with school. Drinking can damage a student's ability to study well and get decent grades, as well as affect sports performance (the coordination thing).
You can look really stupid. The impression is that drinking is cool, but the nervous system changes that come from drinking alcohol can make people do stupid or embarrassing things. Drinking also gives people bad breath, and no one enjoys a hangover.
Alcohol puts your health at risk. Teens who drink are more likely to be sexually active and to have unsafe, unprotected sex. Resulting pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases can change — or even end — lives. The risk of injuring yourself, maybe even fatally, is higher when you're under the influence, too. One half of all drowning deaths among teen guys are related to alcohol use. Use of alcohol greatly increases the chance that a teen will be involved in a car crash, homicide, or suicide.
Teen drinkers are more likely to get fat or have health problems, too. One study by the University of Washington found that people who regularly had five or more drinks in a row starting at age 13 were much more likely to be overweight or have high blood pressure by age 24 than their nondrinking peers. People who continue drinking heavily well into adulthood risk damaging their organs, such as the liver, heart, and brain.
How Can I Avoid Drinking?
If all your friends drink and you don't want to, it can be hard to say "no, thanks." No one wants to risk feeling rejected or left out. Different strategies for turning down alcohol work for different people. Some people find it helps to say no without giving an explanation, while others think offering their reasons works better ("I'm not into drinking," "I have a game tomorrow," or "my uncle died from drinking," for example).
If saying no to alcohol makes you feel uncomfortable in front of people you know, blame your parents or another adult for your refusal. Saying, "My parents are coming to pick me up soon," "I already got in major trouble for drinking once, I can't do it again," or "my coach would kill me," can make saying no a bit easier for some.
If you're going to a party and you know there will be alcohol, plan your strategy in advance. You and a friend can develop a signal for when it's time to leave, for example. You can also make sure that you have plans to do something besides just hanging out in someone's basement drinking beer all night. Plan a trip to the movies, the mall, a concert, or a sports event. You might also organize your friends into a volleyball, bowling, or softball team — any activity that gets you moving.
Girls or guys who have strong self-esteem are less likely to become problem drinkers than people with low self-esteem.
Knowing the Signs...
How can you tell if a friend has a drinking problem? Sometimes it's tough to tell. But there are signs you can look for. If your friend has one or more of the following warning signs, he or she may have a problem with alcohol:
• Getting drunk on a regular basis
• Lying about how much alcohol he or she is using
• Believing that alcohol is necessary to have fun
• Having frequent hangovers
• Feeling run-down, depressed, or even suicidal
• Having "blackouts"--forgetting what he or she did while drinking
What can you do to help someone who has a drinking problem? Be a real friend. You might even save a life. Encourage your friend to stop or seek professional help. For information and referrals, call the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information at 800-729-6686.
Where Can I Get Help?
If you think you have a drinking problem, get help as soon as possible. The best approach is to talk to an adult you trust. If you can't approach your parents, talk to your doctor, school counselor, clergy member, aunt, or uncle. It can be hard for some people to talk to adults about these issues, but a supportive person in a position to help can refer students to a drug and alcohol counselor for evaluation and treatment.
In some states, this treatment is completely confidential. After assessing a teen's problem, a counselor may recommend a brief stay in rehab or outpatient treatment. These treatment centers help a person gradually overcome the physical and psychological dependence on alcohol.

Q. Aren't beer and wine "safer" than liquor??
A. No. One 12-ounce bottle of beer or a 5-ounce glass of wine (about a half-cup) has as much alcohol as a 1.5-ounce shot of liquor. Alcohol can make you drunk and cause you problems no matter how you consume it.
Q. Why can't teens drink if their parents can??
A. Teens' brains and bodies are still developing; alcohol use can cause learning problems or lead to adult alcoholism.5 People who begin drinking by age 15 are five times more likely to abuse or become dependent on alcohol than those who begin drinking after age 20.6
Q. How can I say no to alcohol? I'm afraid I won't fit in.
?A. It's easier to refuse than you think. Try: "No thanks," "I don't drink," or "I'm not interested." Remember that the majority of teens don't drink alcohol. You're in good company when you're one of them.

Steve Tamerius
I've been involved with the game show business since the early 1980s and have written for about 10 different shows including "Tic Tac Dough", "Trivia Trap", "Card Sharks", and, of course, "JEOPARDY!" The 2005-2006 season will be my 19th with the show. Along the way, I've been fortunate enough to win six Emmys.
I've written five books including ELVIS: HIS LIFE FROM A TO Z. An updated version of the book is in the works. From 1978 to 1983, I edited and published "Trivia Unlimited" magazine, the first national magazine devoted exclusively to trivia.
I look forward to each Fall, not only because it's the beginning of a new season on "JEOPARDY!", but it's also the kickoff of the college football season. A fanatical and somewhat demented college football buff, I live and die with the success (usually) and failure (rarely) of my beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers. Normally, a God-fearing, decent fellow, I've been known to be downright cantankerous with the unsuspecting salesman who calls or knocks on the door during a telecast. (Now, if I could just talk the producers into moving the "JEOPARDY!" production offices to Lincoln...)
Debbie Griffin
Debbie Griffin, who once nearly threw her typewriter (remember those?) out the window so she wouldn't have to write any more, is now in her 16th year as a writer for "JEOPARDY!"
A native Californian and graduate of CSUN, Debbie began her career as a researcher for "Tic Tac Dough" and later wrote for "Sale of the Century." Her head is crammed so full of facts (mostly useless) that her friends call her F. Oak (Font of all Knowledge). Debbie also completed 3 seasons on "Rock & Roll JEOPARDY!" and has won 6 Emmys. Not a bad life.
Michele Loud
The product of an oppressively supportive family, a bright-eyed and eager Michele Nicole Loud made her world debut before mom could sign up for that epidural. Michele grew up quickly on the mean streets of Studio City, California -- she'd been to her first Barry Manilow concert at the age of six. There would be more. Smash cut to Tufts University. After receiving her B.A. in English literature in 1991, Michele made her triumphant return to Southern California, where a period of aggressive slackerhood was cut short by employment at a magazine. Michele auditioned twice as a contestant for "JEOPARDY!" and failed before she had the pleasure of giving notice to her editor by saying that she'd been hired as a researcher for America's most popular game of answers and questions. One of the highlights of Michele's career as a researcher was a phone conversation with Rip Taylor (about confetti, natch). Following in the footsteps of esteemed "JEOPARDY!" writer Billy Wisse, Michele served as proofreader on her way to becoming a writer in 1997. Michele is the first writer to complete the "JEOPARDY!" hat trick, writing for "JEP!" and "Rock & Roll JEOPARDY!", as well as the regular show.
Jim Rhine
Former special agent and now "JEOPARDY!" Writer Jim Rhine was born at the height of the cold war and then again 2 weeks after that. A comfortable childhood included work in a Nike factory in Indonesia, Visits on weekends to Chernobyl & a steady diet of crickets & honey. After a short university career at Woolamaloo U, where Jim majored in being a miner & lettered 4 times on the cat-tossing team, the real world beckoned. Jim's voluminous professional resume includes listings as diverse as malamute breeder, General Patton's sensitivity instructor, Richard Nixon's ethics advisor & Mike Tyson's sportsmanship coach. Other "freelance" jobs from his post-college years include Jamaican farmer, aspiring Olympian & giant sea otter tamer. Even Jim isn't sure where he was from 1994 to 1997. In recent months, when Jim isn't spending 23 1/2 hours a day at "JEOPARDY!" ('I love my job, dad!' says Jim!), He plays starting goalie for the southern hockey league team "the Macon Whoopees."
Mark Gaberman
Born in New York City, MARK GABERMAN has co-written five episodes of "STAR TREK: VOYAGER". He has also written a book, "THE COMPLETELY GUILTY BYSTANDER", available at a certain online bookseller with a South American river in its name. When not riding the rails in search of the true America, cliff diving in Acapulco, or saving whales off the coast of Australia, he enjoys the tranquil setting of small-town Los Angeles with his wife and son.
Billy Wisse
John G. Diefenbaker's years as Canada's prime minister were tumultuous and exciting ones, in which Canada struggled to come to terms with its place on the world stage. Diefenbaker's actions seemed to exemplify the split identity of his Progressive Conservative party, as he appointed Canada's first woman cabinet minister and first Native Canadian senator, yet shocked the nation's pride by canceling the technologically advanced homegrown Avro Arrow jet fighter. Also Billy Wisse was born then. Billy grew up in Montreal, received a bachelor's and a master's degree in English literature from McGill University, and moved to Los Angeles in 1989 to pursue screenwriting. After stints in ghostwriting, proofreading and scriptreading, and a one-review career as a movie critic, he joined JEOPARDY! as a researcher in 1990 and was promoted to Writer in 1996. He also serves as Editorial Supervisor. Billy is a poet whose work is available in book form in Defrosting and Poems from the Archive of the Pearl Roth Institute (learn more at www.BillyWisse.com). John Diefenbaker was still Member of Parliament for Prince Albert, Saskatchewan when he died in Ottawa in 1979.

So you've been trying out the whole vegetarian or vegan thing for the better part of the year. It's been going well, and you're happier than ever. And then ... bam! the holidays hit. Who in the world can skip the turkey on Thanksgiving? Talk about a road block.
Yes, it's impossible to deny that Thanksgiving revolves around turkey. From the 2 a.m. alarm reminding you to pop it in the oven to the supermarket specials and children's school crafts, it's all about the bird.
But this American tradition doesn't have to throw off your new lifestyle. There are hundreds—yes, hundreds—of vegan recipes for side dishes. Not convinced? Take a look at the New York Times' reputable health-and-wellness blog. Each year, the blog goes vegetarian for Thanksgiving.
When I first went vegetarian, then vegan, I figured I would just break my own rules on Thanksgiving. After all, I couldn't imagine breaking from tradition. And it's not just the turkey that poses a challenge: so many of my grandmother's dishes are smothered in butter or cooked with milk. Mashed potatoes, turnips, stuffing, candied yams—it was all off the list. The creamed cauliflower would have to be a fond memory. And let's not even talk about dessert.
I stressed about all of it for a while before my first turkey-less Thanksgiving. Then I just broke my rules. I ate all the sides, regardless of their ingredients. I skipped the turkey because, after eight months without meat, it didn't really look appetizing anymore. But the rest was game-on.
If you're considering giving up on the vegan diet for the day, you might want to reconsider. I can't even explain how much my stomach hurt that night. By the second year, I had wised up. My mom made sure to set aside butter-free bowls of mashed potatoes and turnips; she rescued some cauliflower before the cream sauce was poured on. I went without stuffing or turkey, but it wasn't a huge deal. We've joked about getting a Tofurkey from Trader Joes or Whole Foods, but I can honestly say I don't miss it. If you do think you need something a bit heartier to go with your sides, go with a slice of baked tempeh.
I did seriously miss the stuffing, and this year I won't have to go without. I tracked down a delicious vegan stuffing mix at Whole Foods [it's on sale this week!]. My sister and I have also starting introducing our family to spice—they've always just cooked with butter and milk, but are slowly but surely coming around to our dishes [slowly being the key word].
That brings me to another point—be careful what you say about eating turkey at the Thanksgiving table. Even if you find it appropriate to voice your opinion on other nights, a holiday is not the time to lecture others on their choices. If this is going to be an issue, make yourself and your immediate family a feast at home. Join everyone else for dessert.
If you're hosting Thanksgiving this year, or bringing a dish to a family or friends' house, try these recipes. They are simple yet tasty dishes that are easily transported. Of course, you can also opt for lightly steamed or sauteed green vegetables, which are always a hit at my house.
Kabocha Squash Soup (or mash)
- 3 cups chopped and peeled kabocha
- 6 cups water
- fresh parsley to taste
- sea salt to taste
Bring water to a boil, add kabocha and salt, return to boil. Lower heat and simmer until kabocha is soft and well-blended with water, mixing often. If making mashed kabocha [just like mashed potatoes], use less water. Adjust water for desired consistency. Top with parsley. This is one of my favorites because it is so insanely simple. Kabocha is naturally sweet, so there's no need to add anything. It makes a healthy substitue to mashed potatoes.
Couscous-Stuffed Acorn Squash
- 1 acorn squash cut in half
- 1 cup cooked couscous
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1/4 cup cranberries
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- other vegetables of choice, chopped
- minced garlic
- lemon juice to taste
- chopped parsley to taste
- cumin to taste
- chopped carrots
- chopped celery
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat squash halves lightly in oil, bake 30 minutes with opening face down on a baking sheet. In the meantime, heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. When heated, add garlic. Sautee until golden brown, add vegetables, sautee. Add lemon juice and spices, then cranberries, stirring until all is tender. Add cooked couscous, stir and cover until heated through. Stuff into baked squash and serve warm.
For 15 more mouth-watering recipes [many of which are gluten-free], check out BlissTree.com's Thanksgiving guide.
Are you in charge of dessert? Turn to the new vegan cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero: Vegan Pie in the Sky. With 75 dessert recipes, there's sure to be one for all of your guests' tastes. Follow this link for three of the pies.
For more vegan Thanksgiving recipe ideas, just do a quick Internet search. You will be amazed at all of your options. No matter what you choose, I wish you all a safe, happy and healthy holiday!

Falcons' Moore arrested
Flowery Branch, GA (Sports Network) - Atlanta Falcons safety William Moore was arrested and charged with simple battery on Thursday.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Moore was booked into Fulton County Jail following an incident. No other details were immediately available about the arrest.
"We are aware of the situation involving William Moore and are in the process of gathering more information," a Falcons spokesperson said in a statement released to the newspaper. "Because this is now a legal matter, the club will have no further comment at this time."
Moore, 28, signed a five-year, $30 million contract extension on March 9. He was coming off a season in which he was named a Pro Bowl alternate after recording 105 tackles and four interceptions.
A second-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, Moore has 159 tackles, 11 interceptions and five forced fumbles in four seasons with the Falcons.

A. The development of critical reading skills:
The capacity to engage a text directly, to extract the author's argument, to identify underlying assumptions and dominant perspective, to search for supporting evidence, and to posit and evaluate alternative points of view.
B. The development of critical writing skills:
The capacity to set out a thesis clearly and forcefully: to support that thesis by the systematic presentation of evidence and the careful development of an argument. Central to both critical reading and writing skills is the ability to think with clarity, precision, and logical rigor.
C. The development of skills and confidence in oral presentation:
The capacity to express one's ideas in a coherent and logical manner.
D. The development of an awareness of the learning resources available on campus.
A. The following are the goals for these courses, designated as writing-intensive, which satisfy the "transitional stage of the college writing requirement":
1. To provide beginning students with ample opportunity to write academic prose and benefit from the frequent and attentive comments of their professor.
2. To encourage students to approach writing as a process: planning, drafting, revising, editing.
3. To improve students' ability to write at a high level of intellectual complexity
B. Suggested guidelines for attaining these goals are as follows:
1. Quantity. The course should include a robust amount of writing, and a significant percentage of the final grade should rest on written assignments.
2. Sequencing. Over the semester, professors should devise written assignments in an increasing order of complexity, e.g. from report and summary to analysis and argument.
3. Conference. Professors should schedule some office time to work with students specifically on their writing.
4. Reading. Some assignments on the syllabus should be chosen for their stylistic aspects, and class attention should at all times be directed to the readings as rhetorical models.
5. Guided revision. Students should be able to revise and re-submit some portion of their written work.
6. Resources. The professor should encourage students to seek the help of writing tutors. He or she might participate in the Faculty Development Writing Symposia.

Everyone jumping all over HHH needs to check their engines and knee jerkiness.You need to check your bullshit detector Rich, I think it's broken. HHH made several bigoted statements, including the two above, regarding obese people for the sole purpose of getting a rise out of people on this board.
They should have hired her. She would have quit after three days instead of getting the grounds for the lawsuit that she wanted.
Guess it beats working-- that requires self-discipline.
Political correctness runs rampant and when a certain 'class' is protected or defended because a minority is being 'prejudiced' against is the same thing as saying that all black people are criminals because a high percentage of crime in inner cities is committed by blacks.I'm not sure if you were trying to prove your point or mine with this sentence. Of course that wouldn't be right. But replace "black" with "fat", "criminals" with "lazy", and well, you can see where I'm going with this. A few circumstantial modifications, and you have pretty much what HHH said.
"... everyone in this thread who is arguing these points about obesity is prejudiced, merely by the fact that they seem completely willing to pull out all the stops to prove that the overweight are somehow bad people."While it's justified to tell Hopkins to turn it down or get lost, we should also recognize that some people have hot-button issues that make their sense of decorum completely jump the rails and go skittering into a ravine.

In other goat news: As urban homesteading continues its rise, city backyards are booming with agrarian dreams: chickens peck near privacy fences, milk-producing goats bleat greetings to overflying airplanes, and tomato and pea plants stretch toward the smoggy sun. But coupled with these well-intentioned back-to-the-earth efforts is a dark side, says E Magazine's Jodi Helmer, as the farm animals we bring to the city get short shrift.
"For many urban agrarians, chickens and goats are the perfect addition to a backyard farm," Helmer writes, "but when the novelty of having a chirping chick wears off or adorable kids turn into grownup goats that eat the landscaping, the animals are often surrendered to rescue groups or abandoned."

About Me Everyday Drinker
Comments about Timothy's Coffee Timothy's Rainforest Espresso K-Cup®:
Like other reviews have mentioned, every few boxes or so I get several cups that the foil opens during brewing resulting in grounds in the cup and leakage around the brewer. I still drink it but have been disappointed that this wasn't a "one-off" experience and that it hasn't been corrected. At least now I know I'm not the only one. I put up with it because I love the coffee and place it my scheduled monthly order.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent taste but poor performance
By Jody
from Delavan, IL
This is my absolute favorite coffee, however the last few boxes have performed poorly, forcing me to give it up. The cups explode nearly every time, as someone else noted, resulting in a big mess and grounds in my coffee. I'm wondering if the extra fine espresso grind clogs the needle, causing too much pressure in the cup and bursting the seal. So disappointed, please fix the problem!

My Favorite KCup
By Pat S.
from NJ
I have been ordering KCups from this site for a few years now and always go back to Rainforest Espresso. With every box I love it more. It is by far my favorite. I love a nice strong cup first thing in the morning but i don't like a bitter taste. This one is sweet but strong at the same time which I enjoy very much. I will continue to order and have as the "first of the day" choice.

Weak-Not as Described
By CoffeeLover
from USA
About Me Coffee Aficionado
I tried this coffee on the 8oz setting and it was like drinking brown water.On the 6 oz setting it was OK, just OK.I ordered this as it was described to be dark and strong.It was far from either. I will stick to ordering Green Mountain Dark Magic Decaf
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Timothy's nailed it for me!
By Coffee Dreamer
from MA
When I just want to enjoy a great cup of coffee to re-energize, re-group, re-inspire, this does it for me. It's the one I savor, holding the cup close and breathing in the aroma deeply, emitting that delightful "ahhhhhhhh"....excuse me, my espresso is ready. Bye!(and buy!) ;>)

Love it, but cups are defective
By Jaimi
from Massapequa, NY
Both my husband and I love this K-cup and have been drinking it quite awhile. Since purchasing from this website though, we've had multiple occurrences of 'exploding' k-cups where the foil lid comes detached from the cup during the brew cycle and we get heavy grounds in our coffee - even after opening a different box. I will no longer order this brand from here. Will try other others and see what happens.

I would buy this product again and again
By Road Racer
from NH
I was very disappointed. This coffee is so weak! I used the lowest water setting 4oz and it was still very weak. This coffee should not be called bold or or strong at all. This is the first Timothy's I have tasted and never again will I buy their brand! What a waste of money. This coffee did not even have an expresso taste!

Not a Timothy Brand Fan
By Coffee Snob
from Wisconsin
I ordered several of Timothy Brand K-cups to try and find they all are very weak in coffee flavor--no matter how much water I used. They may be good for someone who likes a weak coffee taste, but not for someone who likes a dark roast and a good strong flavor.
I Will BY THIS ONE OVER and OVER

this is a great cup of coffee at any time we love this one and we have try a lot of k cups to find out which ones we like................

By Larry

See all my reviews
After trying several brands like Newman's Extra Bold, GM Dark Magic, and GM Sumatran Reserve, I was very disappointed in the weakness and inferior flavor of this brand. I'll have to go to size 2 of 5 on my B70 to get this strong enough to drink.

Poland's biggest band, Kult, formed in 1982 and throughout their time, unorthodox messages in their songs and the atmosphere they created at their concerts gave them legend status among Polish people. Kult's music has its roots in punk but their style evolved to include elements of rock, ska, jazz, reggae and even poetry in their repertoire.

MTA Bridges and Tunnels

|Metropolitan Transportation Authority
MTA Bridges and Tunnels, legal name Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, is an affiliate agency of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, that operates seven intrastate toll bridges and two tunnels in New York City. In terms of traffic volume, it is the largest bridge and tunnel toll agency in the United States serving more than a million people each day and generating more than $900 million in toll revenue annually.
The seven bridges are:
- Robert F. Kennedy (Triborough) Bridge, connecting Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens
- Bronx-Whitestone Bridge (the Bronx and Queens)
- Verrazano Narrows Bridge (Brooklyn and Staten Island)
- Throgs Neck Bridge (the Bronx and Queens)
- Henry Hudson Bridge (Manhattan and the Bronx)
- Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge (Brooklyn and Queens—Rockaway Peninsula)
- Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge (Queens—Broad Channel and the Rockaway Peninsula)
The two tunnels are:
- Brooklyn-Battery (Hugh L. Carey) Tunnel (Brooklyn and Manhattan)
- Queens Midtown Tunnel (Queens and Manhattan)
Originally named the Triborough Bridge Authority, the authority was created in 1933 as a public-benefit corporation by the New York State Legislature. It was tasked with completing construction of the Triborough Bridge, which had been started by New York City in 1929 but had stalled due to the Great Depression.
Under the chairmanship of Robert Moses, the agency grew in a series of mergers with four other agencies:
- Henry Hudson Parkway Authority, in 1940
- Marine Parkway Authority, in 1940
- New York City Parkway Authority, in 1940
- New York City City Tunnel Authority, in 1946
With the last merger in 1946, the authority was renamed the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority.
Generating millions of dollars in toll revenue annually, the TBTA easily became a powerful city agency as it was capable of funding large capital projects. From the 1940s-60s, the TBTA built the Battery Parking Garage, Jacob Riis Beach Parking Field, Coliseum Office Building and Exposition Center and East Side Airlines Terminal,[2] as well as many parks in the city.
Merger with MTA[edit]
The TBTA was merged into the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in 1968. Surplus revenue, formerly used for new automobile projects, would now be used to support public transportation. [3] Since then, more than $10 billion has been contributed by the TBTA to subsidize mass transit fares and capital improvements for the New York City Transit, Long Island Rail Road, and Metro-North Railroad.[citation needed]
Since 1994, the TBTA has been doing business as MTA Bridges and Tunnels.[4] The name Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority is still the legal name of the Authority and was used publicly between 1946 and 1994.
Law enforcement[edit]
The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (TBTA) employs 966 Bridge and Tunnel Officers (BTOs), who are NYS Peace Officers authorized to make arrests and carry firearms on and off duty. BTOs patrol the authority's 9 facilities on foot and in marked patrol cars. Besides law enforcement, the BTOs collect tolls, assist vehicles stuck in E-ZPass lanes, operate tow trucks to clear disabled vehicles, and clear snow from the roadways. The TBTA also has a Special Operations Division/Collision Reduction Unit, which enforces all aspects of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law and NYC Traffic Rules with a main emphasis on speed enforcement.
In 2007, Bridge and Tunnel Officers were involved in two shootings, on the Triborough and Bronx Whitestone Bridges. They also assisted in the delivery of a newborn baby.[citation needed]

BATON ROUGE, LA (RNN) - After winning a close game on the road, LSU is looking to play the first of four consecutive home games on Saturday against University of Alabama Birmingham.
The Tigers (7-2) narrowly defeated Texas Tech on the road last Wednesday when the Red Raiders made a last-minute charge to close a nine-point deficit. LSU made more than half of their field goals in that game but were outscored in 3-pointers and free throws by Texas Tech.
Johnny O'Bryant III leads the Tigers with an average 14.6 points per game. Jordan Mickey comes in second with 13.9 points per game.
The Blazers (9-2) are riding a five-game winning streak, including an upset win over then-No. 16 North Carolina. Their most recent win was against Chattanooga last Wednesday, when UAB made less than half of their field goals, six of their 17 3-pointers and 11-of-16 free throws.
Chad Frazier leads the Blazers with an average 18.8 points per game. CJ Washington is in second with 14.1 points per game.
Tipoff at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center is at 5 p.m. ET.

In the heavenly places
Ephesians 1:15-23
For more commentary on this week's readings, see the Reflections on the Lectionary page, which includes Rossing's current Living by the Word column as well as past magazine and blog content. For full-text access to all articles, subscribe to the Century.
The preacher faces several challenges in these Ascension texts. How can we present Jesus' departure from the earth as an occasion for not sorrow but celebration? How to translate the kingship and hierarchical language into imagery that speaks to a world no longer governed by kings and monarchs?
Feminist biblical scholars note a third challenge: How can we counter Luke-Acts' use of the Ascension to exert a degree of social control?
The Ascension story marks an end to Jesus' resurrection appearances on earth, thereby muting any future enthusiasts who might claim to have seen Christ. Even the apostle Paul, who asserts in 1 Corinthians 15:5-8 that he is also an eyewitness, underscores that he is the last person who can make the claim to have seen Jesus alive after his resurrection. Henceforth, no one can legitimately claim to be an eyewitness to the risen Christ.
The Ephesians 1 text is assigned for today because it portrays Jesus Christ as seated in the heavenly places at the right hand of God, as Lord of the church, presiding over its cosmic unity. Ephesians is the source of the church's creedal statements that Christ is "seated at the right hand of the Father."
Unlike the authentic Pauline letters, Ephesians was probably not written to one specific church (since the opening reference to the saints of God "in Ephesus" is not found in the best manuscripts). In this letter we begin to see the concept of "the church" as encompassing multiple congregations united in Christ's oneness. The author prays with unceasing thanks for the whole church, for its faith and love. This prayer is grounded in cosmic praise of God, drawing on imagery of heavenly unity from Colossians.
Psalm 110 shapes Ephesians' description of Christ's journey to enthronement at God's "right hand" (v. 20) and the proclamation that God has "put all things under his feet" (v. 22). A royal coronation psalm, Psalm 110 projects extravagant hopes for the future messiah. Ephesians and other New Testament texts pick up these same hopes and ascribe them to Christ.
No other New Testament letter speaks with such detail about the "heavenly places" (epouraniois, Eph. 1:20; 2:6; 3:10; 6:12). Especially striking is the declaration of Eph. 2:6 that we, too, have been raised already to "sit" with Christ in the heavenly places.The hierarchical imagery of Ephesians' high christology has often been used as a way of inscribing churchly hierarchy. The preacher would do well to focus rather on the hymnic quality of this passage, and on the mystical presence of Christ in the community, inhabiting every time and place.

The MAZDA 6 is one of the hottest mid-sized sports sedans on the market, not to mention one of the most affordable. Strong performance, terrific handling and great style have made it a favorite with consumers seeking both space and sportiness.
The exterior design is now sharper and even sportier, while the cabin is more comfortable with even higher levels of craftsmanship. Mechanically, the V6 engine is more tractable and economical, while a new five-speed automatic transmission on the four-cylinder imodel delivers better performance and gas mileage. Suspension is retuned for even more dynamic handling, while new larger 18-inch wheels, for improved handling and road holding, are offered as well.
The MAZDA 6 is available in three body styles: Sports Sedan, Sport Wagon and 5-Door. It's the most extensive line-up in the mid-size category and all three body styles benefit from the 2006 upgrades.
"The freshening and mechanical improvements will further improve the customer's perception of style and quality," says Eiji Oyama, MAZDA 6 vehicle line manager for Mazda North American Operations. "The MAZDA 6 's unique competitive advantage is its sports-sedan position, and updates for 2006 further emphasize that advantage over the competition. Thanks to three different body styles, and the availability of four-cylinder and V6 engines, manual or automatic transmissions, the car that delivers the sportiest driving experience in its sector is even more desirable."
The MAZDA 6 set new standards for performance, driver appeal and styling when it was launched three years ago. As a vehicle that married sports performance with refinement and practicality, it has proved a huge sales success and picked up more than 70 awards for automotive excellence.
There are two MAZDA 6 models: the four-cylinder i version and the V6-powered s. Each is available in one of four different packages: entry-level, Sport, Grand Touring and - new for 2006 - Grand Sport. Another new model for 2006 is the entry-level V6-powered s, giving value-conscious buyers the opportunity to drive Mazda's superb V6 engine at the most affordable price ever.
Also new for 2006 is a top-of-the-line MAZDASPEED 6 sedan powered by a turbocharged 274-horsepower four-cylinder engine offering all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission. (See separate release.)
No other manufacturer offers a more complete lineup of luxury and performance sedans, sport wagons and five-door models in the midsize class.
Customers loved the look of the 2005 MAZDA 6 , so Mazda designers were cautious about making too many changes.
The familiar pointed nose and sharp styling has been accented with a new sport grille on some models and angular new headlamps across the range. The headlamps on the Sport and Grand Sport packages use dark gray bezels. New for 2006 on MAZDA 6s Grand Sport package are High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps for superior illumination and lower maintenance. The front bumper also is new, and helps give even more edge to the styling. Foglamps are incorporated into the front spoiler. New side sills highlight the "hug-the-road" quality of the MAZDA 6 's style, while a trunk spoiler is standard on Sport and Grand Sport versions.
Revised tail lamps - using black bezels on the Sport and Grand Sport - and a new rear bumper on all models underline the sports-oriented changes. For the first time on a MAZDA 6 , 18-inch wheels are now available on the s Grand Touring and Grand Sport packages, further improving the sporty appearance and also improving traction and road holding.
With the 2006 model year also come three new exterior colors: Dark Cherry, Bright Island Blue and Tungsten Gray.
The range-topping 3.0-liter V6 engine has been noted for its strong performance and refinement, and now gets a torque boost from 190 to 199 lb-ft (at 5,000 rpm). The change makes the engine even more tractable and the car easier to drive, and also will improve off- the-line performance. In addition, fuel economy is improved by one mile per gallon on both manual and automatic vehicles. Because of changes to the exhaust system to boost torque, maximum horsepower is reduced slightly from 220 horsepower to 215 horsepower (at 6,000 rpm).
As before, the V6 is mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or six-speed Sport A/T automatic with manual shift. The MAZDA 6 is in the only vehicle in the class to be offered with a six-speed automatic transmission. The wide number of ratios improves performance, drivability, smoothness and gas mileage. The tall top gear also improves comfort and quietness on the freeway, while a short first gear gives aggressive off-the-line performance. These are all examples of MAZDA 6 's sports-first philosophy.
The 2.3-liter four-cylinder (I-4) engine used on the MAZDA 6i models continues as before, producing 160 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 155 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. This highly sophisticated engine is all-aluminum (like the V6 engine), uses double overhead camshafts and 16 valves (for excellent engine breathing and smooth revving). Smoothness and refinement are enhanced by the use of a balance shaft, helping make this four-cylinder engine almost as smooth as a reliable six-cylinder unit.
The 2.3-liter engine is specified with Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) equipment in the four states that require California emissions (NH, Mass., NY and VT). This makes the 2.3-liter engine 90-percent cleaner than the average new car. Evaporative emissions are completely eliminated by re-engineering the exhaust plumbing, repositioning the first catalytic converter and eco-friendly Electronic Control Unit (ECU) programming.
For 2006, i models are available with a new five-speed Sport AT automatic transmission with manual shift mode, replacing the previous four-speed unit. The extra gear ratio improves acceleration, cruising refinement and fuel economy (24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway - which is 1 mpg and 4 mpg respectively better than the 2005 model). Of course the MAZDA 6 i also is available with a five-speed manual gearbox.
Other improvements for the MAZDA 6 for 2006 include bigger ventilated front disc brakes - up from 11.1 inches to 11.8 inches - to further cut stopping distances, resist brake fade and improve pedal feel. Solid 11.0 inch disc brakes are used at the rear. As before, anti-lock brakes (ABS) are standard - to cut stopping distances, allow drivers to steer when braking hard, and to stop skids. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) automatically balances front-to-rear braking forces, irrespective of the vehicle's load. Electronic traction control, which minimizes wheel spin in poor weather or slippery conditions, is standard across the range.
Secondary safety features include Triple-H body construction, which gives superb strength to the unitary construction body, front and rear side door beams, three-point seat belts for all five occupants, dual front airbags, and front and rear whiplash-reducing head restraints. Side airbags and side-curtain bags are standard on all models apart from the entry level iversion, on which they're optional.
The keyless entry has remote locking/unlocking, automatic opening and closing of the front windows (a new feature for 2006), a trunk release and a panic button.

It may surprise some...but most of America is farms. We have more farmland than anything else. And a lot of http://africa-info.org/pfizer-cialis-canada that farmland is windy farmland. But while wind is buying cialis without a prescription a stable and fairly high-yield crop, it requires huge start-up investment. So if you're a company that has a good relationship with farmers, a lot of money, and a tiny bit of foresight, you're in a good position to it's cool canadian healthcare pharmacy do some hefty financing and ensure excellent returns for the take levitra forseable future.
Which is exactly where John Deere comes in. They've been loaning farmers, or groups of farmers, money to build wind turbines on their land for the last five years. The results have been exciting. The wind farms don't disturb any habitat that isn't already irreperably altered and farmers get another income that requires very little of their land.
CNN's coverage of the deal shows Deere paying for half of a $10,000,000 project, a bank loan covering most of the rest, and farmers themselves putting up just $10,000 a piece. John Deere makes almost all of the money for the first ten years, while the farmers get a modest increase in their income. Then, after the project is completely paid off, the farmers get to sit back and rake in the cash while the rest of viagra for women us benefit with a much more robust energy portfolio.
Developing rural america, supporting farmers, making tons of cash and going green. Win Win Win Win situations are great.

Are there any potential climate issues in effectively removing large amounts of energy from our weather systems? Currently the amount of energy generated from wind farms is small, but if this increases dramatically, what will the knock-on effects be?

It would take a lot of wind turbines to http://www.animationnation.com/where-to-get-cialis have any noticeable effect, hopefully it won't get to that stage (we should lower our energy "needs" in conjunction with moving to green energy sources).
