Rivertown Brewing Company
With a recent change in the law that makes it easier for breweries to open them, tap rooms have been popping up all over town. Rivertown Brewing Company's stands out for its convenient evening hours, the exhaustive hops-to-bottle brewery tours given by co-owner Randy Schiltz, and most important, the variety of beer available to sample. Trying a few—we recommend the light Helles Lager, the biting Hop Bomber, and the robust Roebling Imperial Porter—is like taking a crash course in craft beer. We'll raise our glasses to that.
607 Shepherd Dr., Unit 6, Lockland, (513) 827-9280, rivertownbrewery.com
Cincinnati Observatory's Free Dark Sky Gazes
It doesn't get much cheaper than free. Twice a month, Stonelick State Park hosts The Cincinnati Observatory's free dark sky stargazes. You don't need a telescope or a degree from MIT—the regulars are usually more than happy to share their knowledge. The park is about a 45-minute drive up State Route 50, far away from city light pollution.
Stonelick State Park, 2895 Lake Dr., Pleasant Plain, (513) 321-5186, cincinnatiobservatory.org
BAR at the Precinct
Jeff Ruby doesn't do small. This revamped bar is no exception. The sizeable addition has enough kitsch (moose head!) to make it feel like it's always been there, highlighted by an antique oak Brunswick bar imported from Boston. As with all of Ruby's spots, BAR at the Precinct is equal parts classy and brassy—just the way we like it.
311 Delta Ave., Mt. Lookout, (513) 321-5454, jeffruby.com/precinct
Moerlein Lager House
We love this place for many reasons: its river views, its proximity to ballpark and stadium, its beer. But the real kicker is the way it incorporates our history. Being Reds fans, we adore the plaque in the lobby floor that marks the location of Riverfront Stadium's first base and its nod to Charlie Hustle: "This marks the exact location where Pete Rose and the baseball world enjoyed a nine minute standing ovation." Here, here.
115 Joe Nuxhall Way, downtown, (513) 421-2337, moerleinlagerhouse.com
The Blue Wisp
Improvisation is a good thing at a jazz club—unless it's the address that's bopping around. Fortunately, after a history of roaming, the Blue Wisp has landed at Seventh and Race. It's handy for locals and visitors alike (obscurity is overrated, man) and there's grub as well as booze. Bonus: With two adjoining spaces, the music in the Rosemary Clooney Room doesn't have to compete with imbibers at the bar.
700 Race St., downtown, (513) 241-9477, thebluewisp.com
The Nest
Swing your partner 'round and 'round! The newest best place in Greater Cincinnati to take square dance lessons is the Cincinnati Mall on Wednesday nights. There, smack-dab in center court, a group called The Nest will teach you the difference between allemande left and do-si-do—for free! (Donations are, of course, welcome.) You might discover a new hobby, but if not, you'll leave with a handy new party skill. Yee-haw!
Dale and Cindy Bennett, (513) 847-1300; Cincinnati Mall, 600 Cincinnati Mills Dr., Forest Park. Wednesdays 6:30–9:30 pm
The Crazy Fox Saloon
You are a person who does not stay out late, but you like bars. You don't like to smell like smoke, but you prefer the cheap beer and general friendliness of Northern Kentucky watering holes. So you try the Crazy Fox, in Newport. You play the jukebox, a little Michael Jackson, The Beatles, The Talking Heads. You ask the bartender for the darts at the bar and play a few games. You meet Carl, the owner. All of a sudden it's 2 a.m. You haven't been out this late in years. But you better believe that you'll be back next weekend.

CSO's end-of-year concert
Midnight in Paris? It's as close as Music Hall when the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra hosts its end-of-year concert, A Night at the Moulin Rouge. John Morris Russell conducts music from La Boheme, there'll be dancers can-canning to Offenbach, and some "La Vie en Rose"–style chanteuse-ing to inspire your inner Edith Piaf. There will be dinner, and Champagne, all very classy and elegant and French. Until the clock strikes 12; then you're back to being a Midwesterner.
1241 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, (513) 381-3300, cincinnatisymphony.org
Cabana on the River
Hankering to watch the sun set over the Ohio River with a cold beer and a fresh fish sandwich? Look no further. Located on the banks of the mighty Ohio in Sayler Park, Cabana on the River draws huge crowds on warm nights with its no-frills menu of seafood and sandwiches, lively open-air bar, and live music. Open seasonally.
7445 Forbes Rd., Sayler Park, (513) 941-7442, cabanaontheriver.com
Front Street Café
When the musicians started taking out their instruments—a violin, a clarinet, a guitar, an accordion—it was a little disappointing. We'd come to Front Street Café in New Richmond for a quiet meal with friends, not a concert. But soon the sound of Zydeco filled the room. They sang in French. They stomped their feet. Are they the best musicians in the world? No. But they're the best in New Richmond. And that's just fine.
120 Front St., New Richmond, (513) 553-4800, frontstcafe.com
High: Blaze of Glory
Pass through a narrow stone alley that looks like something out of an old German village, and you'll emerge into the warmth of the Blind Lemon Café's courtyard, crammed with wrought-iron chairs and benches encircling a cozy fire pit. There's even live acoustic music nightly.
936 Hatch St., Mt. Adams, (513) 241-3885, theblindlemon.com
Low: Bright Spark
C&D Northside, a classic neighborhood bar, welcomes visitors to its outdoor fire pit with plastic lawn chairs, a view of the street—and good company.
1714 Hanfield St., Northside, (513) 541-9881, facebook.com/CDNorthside/info

The polygamous towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz., are pretty small, but during a recent visit I couldn't help wondering how many people actually live there. Most of the streets were empty most of the time and there's no bustling center, so the 10,000-person figure I heard floated seemed like a wild exaggeration.
So I looked up the towns in the 2010 census and discovered that at the most recent counting, Hildale had a population of 2,726 people. Colorado City had a population of 4,821, bringing the combined population to 7,547 people.
That number is closer to what I might have guessed. Driving around town, we saw groups of kids running around and groups of women wearing long dresses working in yards, but that was about it. In terms of street life, the area felt at times similar to even smaller towns like Helper (2,201), or Manti (3,276).
There was, however, an inexplicable number of huge pickup trucks cruising the town during my visit. I'm not sure what that was all about.
Anyway, that there are no bustling streets in the Short Creek area probably doesn't need much explanation. Businesses have abruptly closed, and the only in-town grocery store is still shuttered. There's just not a lot of places to go. And residents are famously wary of outsiders, especially when they're bearing telephoto lenses, as we were.
Some people might live on outlying farms, too.
The census data also offers other interesting nuggets. The median age in Colorado City, for example, is 12.6 years, while for the state of Utah as a whole, it's 29.2 years. And in Colorado City — which I'm using here because it's the bigger of the two towns even though it's not in Utah — a whopping 67 percent of the population is 19 or younger. Across all of Utah, only 34.7 percent of the population is that young.
So Short Creek is much younger than other places, which makes sense because more than anything else, I saw children while I was there.
The gender distribution of Colorado City is similar to the state of Utah, with nearly equal numbers of men and women, and the town is 99.5 percent white. There are 575 households.
One curious thing about the housing in Colorado City is that only 10.6 percent is owner occupied, compared to 70.4 percent for Utah. That figure is presumably due to the fact that the United Effort Plan — an FLDS-created but now state-controlled trust — owns most property in the area. Still, that's a very low percentage of owner-occupancy, which highlights the unique cultural and legal dynamics of the Short Creek Community.
The figures for Hildale were generally similar to those for Colorado City, but on a smaller scale. If you're a Census nerd like me, go ahead and sift through the data and see what you can find.

'RHONY' Cast Might Be Shaken Up AGAIN Next Season & This Time They Better Fire Ramona
Who wants Ramona to be kicked off?With Bravo, the hits just keep on coming. After learning today that Andy Cohen and his brilliant little elves are working on getting Kim D. to be a cast member on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, we're getting yet another holiday treat with the rumor that the cast of The Real Housewives of New York may be tinkered with, as well.
Fancy a game of charades? OK, TV. Eight words, 13 syllables.
Yes! You guessed it! The phrase was: Get Ramona Singer Off of My TV, ASAP.
I knew you'd get it. Knew it.
We can only hope Bravo hears our pleas, because the insider who's talking isn't saying what the cast shake-up might look like. They did, however, gently reminded everyone that this last season of The Real Housewives of New York was the second-lowest rated season ever, and that all execs over at the clubhouse care about are ratings.
A network executive told The Huffington Post:
It's very simple: Shows like 'Housewives' are about ratings. It's not a high-class show like 'Mad Men' that wins awards and appeals to top-notch advertisers. That's why such a dramatic ratings drop is so devastating.
LOL, the show's no Mad Men.
Anyway, filming of season six has been pushed back from January to the end of February to give those big wigs a chance to figure out the best move, but, here's all they need to know.
Throw Aviva Drescher and her dad overboard. They're borderline abhorrent people who need to go. Give LuAnn the boot, too, because we're over her fake ass, and give Ramona 10 cases of wine and she'll be too tipsy to realize the cameras aren't around anymore. Problem solved.
Keep Heather Thomson because she was the only voice of reason, and definitely keep Carole Radziwill because she's everything. Just, everything. And Sonja Morgan can stay, I guess, as well.
Cast three new people -- maybe pull a RHOBH and get an F-list celeb to sign on a la Kyle Richards and Yolanda Foster? -- and who knows, maybe Bethenny Frankel wants back in. That'd be sweet.
But, whatever happens, please, no Jill Zarin. Just, no.
What do you want to see changed with the RHONY?

KristinDecember 21, 2012 at 9:20 AMI have to say I agree with everything you said! Well...almost. I actually like Ramona still. I think her and Sonja are great together and I think she undeniably brings the drama. I also need to emphasize- I couldn't agree more- GET RID OF AVIVA & her father too!!!! Love Carole and Heather as well :)

Marie Napolitano RinaldiDecember 21, 2012 at 10:41 AM
I don't care for any HW who winds up being the "lightening rod" for the entire show. It got exhausting watching all the "housewives" gang up on Ramona, season after season. I watched the past season of NY to give it a chance, it wasn't bad...it's reality tv, afterall...we want the fights and turmoil or we wouldn't watch... I like Ramona, Heather, Sonja and Carole... and I tolerate LuAnn and would love to see Bethenny Frankel return...which would probably never happen. However, the one housewife I never whant to see return, and will stop watching RHONY, is Jill Zarin.

Karissa Michelle SkeensDecember 21, 2012 at 11:21 AMI want to see Bethany, Jill, Heather, Carole, LuAnn and it would be crazy to see Alex and Simon again lol

Barbara Palaith-NewsonDecember 21, 2012 at 12:02 PMYou may see a different Sonya without Ramona. I think it's time for a shakeup and let's see Sonya without Ramona! Carole I love! Aviva is boring. We did not learn much about her over the season..if she's not gonna share then why be on!
- -- Facebook comment from
Davon Marquell LauritaDecember 21, 2012 at 12:04 PMI don't think changing the cast every season is gonna get high ratings, they should have left the show the way it was before season 5 came along.

JaneDohDecember 21, 2012 at 12:29 PMRamona is a keeper....its improved since Bethanny left so why bring her back? Aviva who? Only thing I know about this wacko is her dads a perv and she's got a prostetic leg.

Product DescriptionThis is the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament for bikes. The Moots Open Trail Titanium Stem may be the ultimate piece of bike bling. It tells other riders that this bike means business. The Open Trail is lightweight and super-tough, and because it's made from titanium, it absorbs vibration and it has no finite fatigue life. Translation: it will last forever. On top of that, the clamping systems are ultra-strong so you won't have to worry about failure while you pound down a nasty section of trail.
Moots Open Trail Stem Pro Review
I have been testing the new Moots Open Trail titanium mountain bike stem since late winter, and it is the best stem I have ever used, period. That is a very bold statement, but I have been through my share of stems, and they all have a certain feel and a set of characteristics, and the Open Trail stands at the forefront of stemdomhood (ok, I made the word up).

Rmap library is intended to be a framework for
geographic map plotting in R. It is designed to operate with map
projections and multiple data formats.
Map projections are handled using the PROJ4 library.
Current supported data formats are:
file. Extract it to a temporary directory with
tar zxvf Rmap_1.1.0.tar.gz - you can install R packages straight from tar files but you may need
to edit some things at this stage of the package's development.
libproj.so or similar). If this is not in a system
directory such as
/usr/local/lib/ then you need to edit
Makevars file in the
Rmap/src directory before installing Rmap.
If you dont want Projection support, edit
Makevars and
-lproj from the
line. Actually, no, that wont work because the PROJ4 library symbols
will be undefined and the code wont load. Get and install PROJ4 - its
worth it. Again, make sure you build a shared PROJ4 library, so that you
libproj.so in a system directory.
If you really cant get PROJ4 built, then I think if you delete the
projectit.c file from the
src directory, and remove
-lproj from Makevars then you will build without PROJ4 support.
Make sure you build and install a shared library,
libshp.so or similar). If this is not in a system
directory such as
/usr/local/lib then you need to edit
the file
Makevars before building and installing Rmap. Make
sure the path to the shapelib header file is specified too.
Makevars file and
remove OGR support.
R CMD INSTALL Rmap or to install to a non-system directory, do:
R CMD INSTALL -l ~/MyRLibs/ Rmap - in the latter case you need to do:
library(Rmap,lib.loc="~/MyRLibs") to access it.
There is some code for reading Shapefiles that uses only R code for reading binary files, and since this needs no shapefile library it should work under Windows. If anyone wants to port this into Rmap then please do!
Rmap library uses objects in R to access general
geographical data sources. These data sources could be simple R
objects, objects that access data files, or potentially objects that
get their data from databases or servers.
As an example, we illustrate how to draw maps using an ESRI shapefile. This is a relatively simple data format, and widely used. Physically a shapefile consists of three actual system files:
file.shp - the geographic coordinates.
file.shx - some spatial indexing.
file.dbf - a DBase file of attributes.
This gives us our basic model for geographic data - a data frame with associated spatial objects. Many operations on data frames can also be used on geographic objects in Rmap.
euadmll.shp (it is fairly conventional to consider the
.shp file and call it 'the shapefile' even though a
.shx and
.dbf file are also involved). This
is a map of regions in a large part of western Europe (obtained from
the UNEP web site as an E00 file and converted to a shapefile using e002shp).
We create a new object with the
shapefile function:
> euadmll <- shapefile("euadmll.shp") Warning message: Invalid names in DBF file, new names are: EUADMLL# is now EUADMLL. EUADMLL-ID is now EUADMLL.IDFirst note that some of the names in the DBF file were not good expressions for R column names, and so were renamed. We can check this with the
names() function:
> names(euadmll) [1] "AREA" "PERIMETER" "EUADMLL." "EUADMLL.ID" "ARRGCD" [6] "NURGCD" "ARRGCTCD" "ARRGLBLV" "TOTAREA" "POP80" [11] "POP85" "POP87" "POP88" "POP89" "POP90" [16] "POP91"If we print this object out we get a message:
> euadmll its a shapefile the file is /home/rowlings/Geog/Shapelib/Rshape/inst/samples/euadmll.shp its dimension is 2556 rows by 16 columnsWe can access data using
$NAME as with a data frame:
> euadmll$AREA[25:28] [1] 0.012 21.600 0.210 0.024Note that the precision of the result is limited to whatever precision was specified in the DBF file when it was created.
> euadmll[1:10,] its a shapefile the file is /home/rowlings/Geog/Shapelib/Rshape/inst/samples/euadmll.shp its dimension is 10 rows by 16 columnsIf you want to get the data itself, then convert the object to a data frame:
> as.data.frame(euadmll[5:10,1:5]) AREA PERIMETER EUADMLL# EUADMLL-ID ARRGCD 1 0.201 7.162 5 6 NO03 2 0.087 1.55 6 7 NO03 3 0.003 0.261 7 5 NO03 4 0.138 3.51 8 8 NO03 5 0.057 1.828 9 10 NO03 6 0.006 0.387 10 11 NO16
plot() function:
> plot(euadmll) > plot(euadmll[grep("^UK",euadmll$ARRGCD),])By default this will use the most appropriate type of map according to the data set - such as points, lines or polygons. You can get the type with the
maptype(euadmll) function.
You can also use
lines() and
polys() functions
to add to an existing plot.
proj= function to apply a map
projection. The argument is a character string that is passed to the
PROJ4 library - see the documentation for PROJ4 for full details -
here is an example of a plot using a Mercator projection:
> plot(euadmll,proj="+proj=merc")Once a plot has been started using a projection, further plots should use the same projection parameter.
The underlying function for projecting coordinates is
project(xy,proj,inv=F) where
xy is a 2-column
matrix of coordinates and
proj is a string for the PROJ4
library. The
inv parameter controls whether the forward
or inverse transform is used. Passing
inv=T causes the
inverse transform to be used (if available for that projection) so
that coordinates on the plot device can be converted back to
latitude-longitude values.
save.image() early and often.

It's hard to imagine that Kris Medlen, the pitcher who struck out 13 batters in seven innings Friday night against the Nationals, actually complained about his lack of strikeouts earlier this season.
Medlen needed 24 2/3 innings to accumulate his first 13 strikeouts of the season while pitching out of the Braves bullpen.
He was frustrated at the time with a relative inability to put away hitters, saying that his two-seam fastball was running back over the middle of the plate, especially to right-handed hitters. But Medlen said Saturday as a starter he can establish other pitches.
"Out of the bullpen you have to establish whatever works for that day," Medlen said. "As a starter you have a chance to make more adjustments."
Medlen said since the All-Star break he's been throwing a lot of four-seam fastballs. He's used his bullpen time between starts to throw two or three two-seamers and the rest four-seamers.
"It gives guys a different look," said Medlen who got Roger Bernadina to swing under it in the second inning Friday. "I've been using it to both sides. It's definitely helped me out….The four-seamer has really helped me to stay on my plane and keep my arm up because you've got to stay behind it."
Medlen, who struck out 12 two starts earlier against the Rockies, became the first Braves pitcher since 1900 with two games of 12 or more strikeouts in the same month, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Now Medlen is in a friendly rivalry with closer Craig Kimbrel to see who can finish the season with more strikeouts. Medlen moved ahead of Kimbrel with 102 on the season Friday to Kimbrel's 101 after Kimbrel struck out the side on Friday night on 10 pitches.
"I heard he was a little jealous in the bullpen room," Medlen said.
That came from Eric O'Flaherty, who had kidded Kimbrel during Friday's game that he must be jealous after Kimbrel pointed out how many strikeouts Medlen was piling up.
"He pitched an amazing game; it was a lot of fun to watch," said Kimbrel, who couldn't resist a little jab, though. "He had to become a starter to start doing that."

In the wake of the deepest recession in decades, nearly a quarter million Sacramento residents struggle to afford enough food, as do about one in six families statewide. In fact, the USDA just reported that so-called "food insecurity" remains at record-high levels across the United States.
Yet Republican leaders in Congress want to slash our nation's principal defense against hunger, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP (formerly food stamps), by at least $39billion over 10 years. Under the plan, nearly 4million people – including low-wage workers, seniors, veterans, and extremely destitute parents and children – would lose access to SNAP aid next year. An additional 3million people would be kicked off SNAP each year for the next decade.
Such a draconian cut would drive our food insecurity rate up from alarming to appalling, dramatically increasing hardship. The average SNAP recipient lives on just $744 per month, making modest food benefits – typically under $1.50 per person per meal – critical.
Indeed, the House Republican plan includes one of the most extreme measures in SNAP's history, which would hit California especially hard. It would allow states to end nutrition assistance (CalFresh in California) for people who want to work but can't find jobs, regardless of how hard they're looking or how few companies are hiring.
Such a proposal isn't just harsh, it's unreasonable given our current job shortage. Job seekers outnumber available positions by three to one, and nearly a third of the unemployed have been sending out résumés for a year or more.
Targeting people looking for work also runs counter to our fundamental American belief, that anyone who tries hard should have a fair shot at getting ahead.
SNAP provides that fair shot by helping people buy groceries while they are between jobs. Finding work is hard enough right now; doing so on an empty stomach would be even harder.
Contrary to popular perception, food banks couldn't adequately feed the millions of families who would lose access to nutrition assistance under the House Republican proposal. Often they're restricted to providing a three- to five-day food supply to clients once a month. Plus, they're already stretched thin from the economic slump, and they'll see even more hungry families this fall when a federal Recovery Act provision expires, causing a sharp drop in SNAP benefits.
Any policymaker concerned about job growth should oppose deep cuts to this nutrition program. By enabling cash-strapped families to continue spending at local businesses, SNAP sustains retail sales which help preserve or even create jobs for state residents. Economists estimate that each dollar of SNAP benefits generates as much as $1.79 in economic activity making the program one of the most effective forms of economic stimulus. That means the $7billion in federal funds that SNAP pumped into California last year boosted the economy by more than $12billion, increasing businesses' sales, raising state and local tax revenue, and generating jobs.
But this dynamic also works in reverse. Deep cuts would reduce families' spending, cut into sales, shrink tax revenue and cost jobs.
And that's just a short-term consequence of slashing nutrition assistance. The long-term consequences are more insidious.
Children raised in households without enough food are at greater risk of cognitive impairment, have lower math and reading achievement, and are more likely to be held back a grade. And since doing poorly in school makes it harder to secure a good job, they may struggle to support their own families when they grow up, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
In fact, hunger puts us all at risk for a less prosperous future. Fewer productive workers make for a less productive economy which means a slower rise in living standards for everyone. Simply put, hunger causes hardship that we all ultimately pay for.
But here's the good news: We all stand to gain when everyone has enough to eat.
Protecting and strengthening the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program would move us closer to that goal. By helping spare families the suffering of hunger, SNAP gives children the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. In fact, girls with access to the program go further in school, have higher earnings, and are less likely to need public assistance as adults. In other words, SNAP provides a hand up that helps prepare the next generation to lead our nation toward greater prosperity for all.
Congress should protect and strengthen SNAP, because it's not just about reducing hunger. It's about investing in our future.

I wasn't sure what to call this recipe. I don't usually go for gimmicky names; I much prefer to call out the predominant or unique characteristics of a recipe and work that into the name. But these oatmeal cookies have a lot of good things I just can't squeeze into the name. First, they're about the healthiest cookie you can make before it really stops tasting like a cookie. I used a little maple syrup in place of cane sugar and a good dose of coconut oil, macadamias, flaxseed and berries. So these cookies pack in a lot of goodness; protein from the nuts, fibre from the oats and flaxseed, lauric acid from the coconut oil, and phytonutrients in the berries. Whoa!
Then there's the wonderful crunchiness thanks to the medley of oats, desiccated coconut, macadamias and flaxseed. And finally, each cookie is bejeweled with a small handful of raspberries and black currants, giving them a lip-smackingly good berry tang. Trust me – they are as good as I'm making them sound.
So what should I call them? Macadamia Berry Oatmeal Cookies? Coconut Macadamia Berry Oatmeal Cookies? You get the idea… It just won't all fit. So I settled on Berry Stella Cookies. I think it has a nice ring to it and seems to sum up both the flavor and the health(ier) factor.
Berry Stella Cookies Recipe
My cookie cutters didn't cut through the oats very well and made the edges crumble a little so I ended up pressing the dough into each cutter and working it into the desired shape. It is a little time consuming but gives a much better shape. If you don't have OCD you could simply roll them into balls, flatten them a little, and be done with the cutters altogether.
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or zentrofan fine wheat flour or all-purpose flour)
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup macadamias
¼ cup flax seeds, ground
½ teaspoon fine ground sea salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup virgin coconut oil
½ cup black currants and/or raspberries (fresh or frozen)
Preheat oven to 350°F/ 180°C. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pulse the macadamias in a food processor until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, desiccated coconut, oats, macadamias, flaxseed, salt and baking soda.
Add the vanilla extract, coconut oil, and maple syrup and mix until well combined. If using cookie cutters scoop 2 tablespoons of the dough into each cutter following the instructions above. Otherwise simply roll the scooped dough into balls and flatten them a little.
Lightly press and small handful of frozen berries onto each cookie and bake in the upper third of oven for 13-15 minutes, or until golden on top and bottom.
Makes about 20-25 cookies.

What's the Right Age to Freeze Your Eggs?
A new study finds that women who expect to delay pregnancy should consider freezing their eggs a lot earlier than expected
Conventional wisdom has long been the earlier, the better—but researchers behind a new study now say there's good evidence that the chances of a successful pregnancy falls significantly for women who freeze their eggs after age 36 and drops again after age 41.
"I think it's going to lead people to freeze their eggs sooner rather than later," said Kutluk Oktay, MD, a New York Medical College physician and scientist who specializes in preserving the fertility of female cancer patients.
Oktay led a team of researchers from the New York Medical College and the University of California Davis in a meta-analysis of data from more than 1,800 women who had their eggs frozen in the US and Europe. In addition to their findings related to age, they determined that the newer method of egg freezing, known as vitrification, tends to have higher rates of success.
Based on their number crunching, Oktay's team developed an "Egg Freezing Success Estimator" that a woman can use to estimate her chances of a successful pregnancy based on her agesa, the number of eggs she stores and the method of egg freezing.
For instance, a 25-year-old who freezes 15 eggs through vitrification will later have a 39 percent chance of giving birth, while a 45-year-old who freezes the same number will see her chances drop to just below 18 percent.
Oktay stressed that the age a woman decides to have her eggs actually implanted doesn't affect her chances of having a child.
"The uterus doesn't age," he said. "You can practically transfer (eggs) at 60 without a decline in the success rate."
Sarah Elizabeth Richards, author of the new book Motherhood, Rescheduled: The New Frontier of Egg Freezing and the Women Who Tried It, agreed that the study is a good reminder "to freeze as early as you can,"—Richards herself had 70 eggs frozen between the ages of 36 and 38—but she cautioned that women should view Oktay's estimator tool as providing guidelines, not absolutes.
Richards said the skill of the doctor in charge of thawing a woman's frozen eggs plays a huge role in a patient's success.
"In the egg freezing world, there's such a huge disparity between superstar doctors… and people who don't have experience making babies from eggs," she said.
She added that every woman's body is different and that those considering egg freezing should have their fertility evaluated. She noted that some of the women included in Oktay's study were those who had fertility problems, as opposed to healthy women who opted for egg freezing.
"One 39-year-old could have really, really great eggs, [and] another 39-year-old could have terrible eggs," she said.
But biology aside, women's career and relationship circumstances can determine when they decide to freeze their eggs.
"I went to medical school and then residency and fellowship, and those were set blocks of time that I knew weren't going to be ideal for parenting. If you know you have big blocks like that coming, [considering freezing eggs at] 29 is ideal," Dr. Nicole Noyes, Director of Reproductive Surgery at NYU's Fertility Center, told The Huffington Post.
Richards told BabyZone that she decided to freeze her eggs because her boyfriend at the time wasn't sure he wanted kids.
"I was 35 and I knew I wanted kids and that's when I started to feel the pressure, I didn't want to lose the chance to have kids," she said. Now 42, Richards is currently dating someone and plans to thaw her eggs in a couple of years.
New Yorker Lara Naaman blogged about her decision last year to have her eggs frozen at 37. She joked that she had "no baby daddy" and added that parenting wasn't something she was interested in doing alone.
"I decided to freeze my eggs as insurance against future regret, more than anything," she told BabyZone. "It's a terrible reason to have actual children, but not such a bad reason to freeze."
Naaman tried Oktay's success estimator and got 17.2 percent as her estimated success rate.
"Like most people, I foolishly assume that the odds will always be in my favor, despite ample evidence to the contrary," she said. Still Naaman conceded that if she'd known the odds beforehand, she might have hesitated in moving forward with egg freezing.
If knowing her chances of success don't dissuade a woman from freezing her eggs, the cost of the process might.
Freezing eggs can cost $9,000 to $10,000 plus another $3,000 to $4,000 for medications per cycle, Oktay said.
Richards spent nearly $50,000 to freeze 70 eggs; she wrote in The Wall Street Journal that she "obliterated" her savings and used up the funds her parents had intended to spend on her wedding.
Still, Richards says she's thrilled with the investment.
"It almost feels like a free pass, having a baby in my early to mid 40s, using an egg that's much younger."

BALTIMORE — Since the All-Star break, Miguel Gonzalez has helped anchor a Baltimore rotation that has been one of the best in the big leagues.
Gonzalez had another effective outing Saturday, but it was an aggressive play by the New York Yankees that helped keep him from earning a fourth consecutive win.
Chris Young stole home in his latest surprising September performance and the Yankees beat the AL East leaders 3-2, ending the Orioles' longest winning streak of the season at six.
Gonzalez (9-8) allowed three runs on three hits with one strikeout and three walks over six innings. He had given up two runs or fewer in nine his past 10 starts.
"I don't have that many innings this year," Gonzalez said. "I think that's been the key and basically that's it. I had a couple times, I had my injury and then I went down (to the minors). But other than that, everything feels great."
The Yankees bounced back after being swept in a doubleheader Friday. New York stayed on the fringe of the wild-card race while Baltimore's magic number for clinching the division remained at five.
Young added his to recent bunch of extra-base hits when he doubled during a three-run second. Speedy Antoan Richardson followed with an RBI single and then took off for second, beating the throw by Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph while Young scampered home without a return toss.
"If I put the ball in tagging area he's out and we're not talking about it," Joseph said. "I just didn't execute. I threw it up the line a little bit. If I put it on the money, he's out. I didn't do my job and it cost us a run."
Baltimore manager Buck Showalter continues to be impressed with Gonzalez. In his last six starts, Gonzalez is 4-2 with a 1.55 ERA with six quality starts.
"I've got to tell you, in a lot of ways that's one of the more impressive outings of the year from him, because he wasn't carrying much. He may not admit it," he said. "But I think that's the difference in major league pitchers, guys who can have success out there and keep you engaged in a game."
"That was impressive, because they were searching first two or three innings to try to find something he could do to keep us engaged in the game, and he did," he said.
Shane Greene (5-3) improved to 4-0 in seven road starts this season, including a victory at Camden Yards in July. He allowed two runs and seven hits, striking out nine in 5 1-3 innings.
David Robertson earned his 36th save, retiring Nick Markakis on a grounder for the final out with a runner on third.
Brian McCann stopped an 0-for-12 skid with his 19th homer, a solo shot in the second. Gonzalez lost despite giving up just three hits in six innings.
Steve Pearce had two hits, including his 17th home run, for the Orioles. Adam Jones, Jimmy Paredes and Markakis also had two hits each.
Nelson Cruz hit an RBI single in the Baltimore third. Pearce homered in the sixth.
Orioles: SS J.J. Hardy, who missed time over the past week with back spasms, returned to the lineup after sitting out the previous night's game.
Yankees: RHP Hiroki Kuroda (10-9, 3.91 ERA) will get the start for Derek Jeter's final game at Camden Yards. It will also mark the fourth consecutive season Kuroda has made 30 starts.
Orioles: RHP Chris Tillman (12-5, 3.36) will try to help Baltimore win the series. He has allowed three runs or fewer in 18 consecutive starts.

2012 PhD Dissertations
Dr. Norma McNair - Dissertation Abstract, successful defense was on May 21, 2012
Title of Dissertation: Baroreceptor Sensitivity in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury
Committee members: Dr. Mary Woo (chair), Dr. Peggy Compton, Dr. Barbara Bates-Jensen and Dr. David Hovda
Background and Significance: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects 1.7 million Americans annually leading to significant morbidity and health care costs. An important cause of morbidity in TBI is secondary brain injury due to abnormal cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA). Standard measures of CA are not amenable to use outside of the intensive care unit (ICU) and patients continue to be at risk for secondary brain injury post- ICU. Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is a non-invasive assessment of autonomic tone that may be useful in evaluating CA. Evaluation of BRS and its relation to CA has not been examined in patients with TBI and predictors of CA are unknown.
Purpose: The specific aims for this study were to 1) examine the association between BRS and CA in patients with TBI, 2) compare BRS and CA in TBI patients and age and gender matched healthy volunteers (HV) and 3) identify predictors of BRS and CA in TBI. Methods: This study used a two group comparative design with 52 subjects (26 with moderate to severe TBI; 26 HV). Measurement of variables: BRS was calculated as heart rate/mean arterial pressure; CA was calculated as cerebral blood flow velocity using transcranial Doppler; and cognition was assessed using the Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test (GOAT)
Results: There was no significant correlation between BRS and CA, however, BRS had high specificity (77%) for normal CA. BRS was not significantly different between TBI and HV subjects, those with normal or abnormal CA nor was BRS an independent predictor of CA. Forty six percent of TBI subjects had abnormal CA after their TBI (mean = 59.58 ± 36.54 days) and 34.6% of HV had abnormal CA. Predictors of abnormal CA were male gender, ACE-Inhibitors and GOAT.
Implications: BRS can be used to identify normal CA. The GOAT has potential for routine assessment of CA status in non-ICU areas. Large proportions of TBI subjects long after a TBI event and HV had abnormal CA. Thus assessment of CA status is important in TBI subjects after ICU discharge and further research is needed on the impact of pre-existing CA abnormalities in HV.
Dr. Nancy Blake Dissertation abstract, successful defense was held on May 16, 2012
Title: The Relationship between the Nurses' Work Environment and Patient and Nurse Outcomes
Committee Members: (from left) Dr. Jack Needleman, Dr. Wendie Robbins, Blake, Dr. Linda Searle Leach, Chair, Dr. Nancy Pike
Purpose: Medical errors cost the United States over $50 billion annually. Healthy work environments (HWE) can reduce medical errors and decrease Registered Nurse (RN) turnover. Three of the variables that impact the work environments are communication, collaboration and leadership. The Joint Commission stated that communication failures are the leading cause of harm to patients in hospitals today. With an estimated shortage of 260,000 nurses identified in the year 2025, nurse leaders need to be creative and do what they can to improve the work environment. The purpose of this research study was to determine the relationship between HWEs, patient outcomes and nurse turnover in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), specifically around communication, collaboration and leadership and risk adjusted patient mortality, risk adjusted length of stay, central line infections, ventilator associated pneumonia and nurse turnover in the PICU. This type of study has never been done in the PICU.
Methods: Donabedian's model of Structure, Process and Outcomes was used as the conceptual framework. The study design was descriptive cross-sectional. Nurses completed the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index Revised (PES-NWIR), which is a 31 items instrument used the measure the practice environment, nurse outcomes and patient outcomes. Participants also completed questions from the ICU Nurse-Physician Questionnaire regarding communication and a demographic questionnaire. In addition to the nurses completing the questionnaire, data was obtained from the hospitals regarding nurse turnover, central line infections, ventilator associated pneumonia, risk adjusted length of stay and risk adjusted mortality as well as information about the unit's nursing and medical structure. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 17.0. Pearson correlations were conducted to examine the relationships of healthy work environments and the outcome measures. Multiple regression, t-tests (two-tailed) and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were completed. This significance level was set at .05 for this study.
Results: A sample of 415 RNs completed the survey from ten hospitals. RN's were mostly female (94%), Caucasian (95%), has a bachelor's degree (75 %), and 1-10 years as a PICU RN (70%). There was an inverse relationship between CLBSI and collaboration and communication (p<.01) but no association between communication, collaboration, or leadership and VAP. Risk adjusted mortality was inversely related to collaboration and communication (p<.05). Risk adjusted LOS was inversely related to collaboration and communication (p<.05). There was a statistically significant relationship between leadership and the outcome ITL (p<.05), but not any of the other predictor variables.
Conclusions: Communication and collaboration in the PICU between RNs and between RNs and MDs are vital for patient safety, preventing complications and increased risk of death and to reduce hospital costs at the unit level. Findings from this study also indicate that effective nursing leadership is important to PICU RNs and significantly influences their decisions about staying in their current job.

Title: Methamphetamine-Using Mothers: Perceptions of Prepregnancy Sexual Risk, Recognizing Unintended Pregnancy And Engaging in the Pregnancy
Committee members: Dr. Adeline Nyamathi, Chair, Dr. Deborah Koniak-Griffin, Dr. Mary Sue Heilemann, Dr. Angela Hudson, Dr. Steven Shoptaw
Methamphetamine has become the drug of choice for a growing number of women in their childbearing years. Methamphetamine reduces inhibitions and increases libido, such that high-risk behaviors are conducted in association with methamphetamine use. Women who become pregnant while using methamphetamine are likely to be younger than the general population of pregnant mothers. They have more comorbid conditions and they delay entry into prenatal care services. The number of methamphetamine-involved births has increased as methamphetamine has become more available and affordable in urban settings.
This dissertation investigated prepregnancy and pregnancy experiences in a sample of 17 women, ten pregnant women and seven postpartum mothers who used meth during a portion of a recent pregnancy. Constructivist Grounded Theory fueled by Symbolic Interactionism was used for data collection and analysis of semi-structured interviews, observations, and field notes. The dissertation is comprised of three manuscripts that describe consecutive events in a transition that surrounded the participants' unintended pregnancies. The findings highlight their lives before pregnancy, learning they were pregnant, and becoming involved in the pregnancy. Three processes, Progressing to a meth-centered lifestyle, Reconciling Pregnancy, and Engaging in Pregnancy, depict the commonalities, variations, and conditions of the women's experiences. Within the process of Progressing to a meth-centered lifestyle, initiation to methamphetamine occurred and progressed to regular, chronic use. The women's age and social development were linked in the women's recollections of their initial use of methamphetamine. Reconciling Pregnancy describes two intertwining events, pregnancy and being drug-free after arrest or entry into substance abuse treatment. This combination of occurrences established a foundation for the women to begin modifying their perceptions about being pregnant and about pursuing sobriety. The third process, Engaging in Pregnancy, conveys the women's participation in their pregnancy transition by taking care of themselves for the sake of the pregnancy and bonding with their unborn child. It describes the influences that assisted the women to strengthen their involvement in their pregnancies while preparing for a sober life as mothers.
The qualitative findings expand our understanding of women living a methamphetamine-centered lifestyle. Through their rich descriptions of events surrounding unintended pregnancy, we learned about the women's neglect of self and poor health-seeking practices. Their stories uncover needs for intervention in each of the three processes.

Title of Dissertation: Psychological Well-Being of Mothers with Preterm Infants
Committee members: Dr. Nancy Pike, Chair, Dr. Deborah Koniak-Griffin, Dr. Adeline Nyamathi, Dr. Lillian Gelberg
Background: A preterm infant's admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is associated with maternal stress. However, the impact of hospitalization on coping and psychological well-being (PWB) is poorly understood.
Specific Aims: Examine the impact of maternal stress, type of coping strategies, perceived social/nursing support, and maternal/infant characteristics on the PWB of mothers with preterm infants in the NICU from admission to 2 weeks.
Methods: Mothers recruited from three NICUs in Los Angeles. PWB was measured using the Brief Symptom Inventory, Patient Health Questionnaire 9, and General Well-Being Schedule. Other outcomes measured included maternal stress, coping strategies, and social/nursing support. Data were analyzed with multiple linear regression.
Results: One hundred mothers who participated were primarily over 30 (55%), Hispanic (62%), low income (67%), and living with spouse or partner (74%). Infants were 32 weeks (± 3.3) gestation with birth weight 1848g (± 730). Maternal stress accounted for 43% of the variance for anxiety and 22% for depression. Hispanic mothers had more severe depressive symptoms than non-Hispanic mothers. Perceived social support predicted PWB while nursing support did not. Emotion-focused coping was used more at admission (p < .001), and problem-focused coping more at two weeks (p < .001). Infant characteristics (gestational age, infant morbidity score, hospital discharge < 2 weeks) and maternal characteristics (race/ethnicity, language, education, marital status, income, employment status, pregnancy complications, breastfeeding) were predictors of PWB.
Conclusions: Maternal PWB is adversely influenced by preterm infant's NICU admission, however, improved by 2 weeks. Problem-focused coping strategies were used by 2 weeks and can provide a bench-mark for teaching readiness. Depression screening may be useful in identifying mothers at risk. Future research to assess PWB past 2 weeks is needed.

Title: The Impact of Maternal Health Literacy on Structures, Interpersonal Processes and Outcomes of Ambulatory Care for Low-Income Latino Children
Committee members: Dr. Sally Maliski, Chair, Dr. Mary Ann Lewis, Dr. Aurelia Macabasco-O'Connell and Dr. Robin DiMatteo from UC Riverside
Objective. Child health outcomes depend on a parent's ability to read, communicate, analyze, and use health information to participate in their child's care. Low maternal health literacy (HL) may disrupt access to pediatric health care, impede informed parent decision-making, and exacerbate pediatric health disparities. This dissertation explores relationships between maternal (HL), maternal self-efficacy (SE) in communication, interpersonal interactions with health care providers (HCPs), and maternal perception of quality of pediatric ambulatory care.
Methods. A cross-sectional, correlational study of low-income Latina mothers (n = 124) of children 3 months to 4 years examined relationships between socio demographic characteristics, maternal HL (Newest Vital Sign), social support (Family Support Scale), self-efficacy in communications with providers (Perceived Efficacy in Patient-Physician Interactions), interpersonal interactions with HCPs (Interpersonal Processes of Care in Diverse Populations Survey) and maternal perception of quality of pediatric ambulatory care (Promoting Healthy Development Survey).
Results. Data revealed maternal HL to be a complex construct associated with multiple socio-demographic characteristics including social support, cultural and linguistic factors. Although maternal HL and self-efficacy (SE) were not significantly related, important relationships between maternal SE and informal support, and maternal SE and the communication subscale, "elicits concerns," were identified. Overall, maternal HL was related t the successful transmission of anticipatory guidance, the delivery of family centered care and the helpfulness of information provided, but it contributed far less to the quality variables than anticipated. Conversely, maternal-HCP interpersonal processes were substantially related to maternal perception of quality of pediatric ambulatory care. Moreover, effective interpersonal processes between these mothers and their child's HCP significantly predicted each mother's perception of the quality of pediatric ambulatory health care received.
Conclusions. Maternal HL may be a more dynamic concept than previously understood. This study reveals the substantial role that interpersonal processes play in the mother-HCP exchange. "Speaking with clarity," "explaining results fully" and "working with a parent" to determine a child's plan of care is most predictive of whether a mother feels that her child is receiving quality ambulatory care services. Clarifying the relationships between these variables is an important step towards understanding how these factors impact maternal interaction with the health care system and influence pediatric health disparities.

Title of Dissertation: The Relationship between Direct-Care Staff's Competence in Social Interaction and Behavioral Symptoms in Korean-American Nursing Home Residents with Dementia
Committee members: Dr. Lynn Woods, Chair, Dr. Janet Mentes, Dr. Linda Phillips, Dr. Ailee Moon, Dr. Jennifer Martin
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the relationship between the social interaction competence of non-Korean direct-care staff members and Korean American older adults exhibiting behavioral symptoms of dementia (BSDs) who reside in nursing homes. A pilot study was completed to evaluate the feasibility, usability, content validity, and inter-rater reliability of two social interaction-coding schemas, developed by the principal investigator. In general, there was a negative trend between direct-care staff's dementia competence in social interaction and BSDs interacting with cultural competence in social interaction. These results suggest that both dementia competent and culturally competent social interaction influence BSDs. The results provide a foundation that may lead to the development of culturally appropriate and supportive interventions for ethnic minority older adults, as a starting point to improve dementia care for ethnic minority nursing home residents. Implications and recommendations for further studies are presented.

Title of Dissertation: Widespread Mean Diffusivity Increases in Children with Brain Tumors after Chemotherapy Treatment
Committee members: Dr. Peggy Compton, Chair, Dr. Paul Macey, Dr. Ron Harper, Dr. Eufemia Jacob, and Dr. Sunita Patel
Two-thirds of children diagnosed with brain tumors achieve long-term survival, and increasingly, children younger than 5-6 years at diagnosis are treated with high-dose chemotherapy protocols, delaying or foregoing cranial radiation. Intrathecal chemotherapy is associated with white matter loss, with systemic administration of certain agents also damaging healthy brain tissue. However, effects of systemic chemotherapy on the brain in children with tumors are unclear. The objective of the study was to compare structural neural integrity with magnetic resonance imaging procedures in children with brain tumors (n = 7, mean age 8.3 years), treated with chemotherapy a mean of 5.4 years earlier, to age- and gender-matched healthy controls (n = 9, mean age 9.3 years). Magnetic resonance imaging data were collected using a diffusion tensor imaging protocol to evaluate tissue integrity throughout the brain. Voxel-based morphometry was used to determine differences between groups. Mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy maps were obtained from normalized, smoothed images, and the two groups were compared using analysis of covariance, with age and gender as covariates. Higher mean diffusivity values emerged in patients over controls (p< 0.05, corrected for multiple comparisons), and were especially apparent in the central thalamus, internal and external capsules, putamen, globus pallidus and pons. No significant differences emerged in fractional anisotropy values between groups. The patient group had lower brain-to-CSF ratio (p = .03), assessed with volumetric analyses. Significantly higher mean diffusivity, indicating long-term damage possibly to glia more than to neurons, appeared in multiple areas in patients 5 years after treatment with chemotherapy.

Title of dissertation: Nurse-Physician Teamwork in the Emergency Department
Committee members: Dr. Donna McNeese-Smith, Chair, Dr. Linda Searle Leach, Dr. Linda Phillips, Dr. Paul Torrens from Public Health.
Aims: Descriptive study to examine the differences between nursing staff and their perception of nurse-physician teamwork in emergency department (ED) settings. The exploratory aim of the study was to examine staff perception of job satisfaction, work environment, autonomy, and control over practice. Design: The design included both an interventional and control group. The intervention group was comprised of four EDs that participated in teamwork training and operationalized teamwork principles in their respective EDs. The control group of four EDs did not participate in the training. Survey questionnaires were used for data collection. Setting and Participants: Staff from four interventional and four control group EDs throughout California participated in the study. There were 191 participants fin the interventional Group EDs and 307 in the control group EDs. Main Outcome Measures: Differences between staff who worked in the interventional group EDs and staff who worked in the control group EDs on perception of teamwork, job satisfaction, work environment, autonomy, and control over practice were measured via questionnaires. Results: The staff who worked in the interventional group EDs showed significantly higher differences compared to staff who worked in the control group EDs on staff perception of teamwork (p = 0.006), job satisfaction (p < 0.0001), work environment (p = 0.0006), autonomy (p < 0.0001), and control over practice (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Active practice of teamwork between the nurses and physicians in the EDs appeared to be associated with improved job satisfaction, and perception of work environment, autonomy, and control over practice of both nurses and physicians in the interventional group over those who worked in the control group EDs.

Hey sssss (ever see that snake horror flick? oh, nevermind <G>)...
Anyways, the "/Library/directory/folder/" has been in Macs for a while actually - just using a different delimiter. Were I talking in Classic/OS 7-9 lingo, this would be "Mac HD:Users:morbus:Library:directory:folder". In some geekier Classic/OS 7-9 cases, you'd actually use this - if you were coding in MacPerl, for instance, or using a Unix ported utility like cron <URL: http://gargravarr.cc.utexas.edu/cron/>. Describing it was out of the scope of this article (as is how to use the Terminal, which we start using in part 2). I've been told that O'ReillyNet is publishing an Intro to the Terminal though, so there should be no problems there.
As for the password auth access, I'll try to squeeze it in once we get into that area of our journey.
Thanks for the comments.

For the Halloween Event three towers appear on a floating island in Ravenwood where the Death School used to be. There are separate entry sigils for each of the towers, which are activated by completing the quest Ghostly Spires. Wizards may choose to enter any of the towers, listed below in order of increasing difficulty:
- Apprentice Tower: 5 Floors, Boss is Hallowe'en Trickster.
- Adept Tower: 5 Floors, Boss is The Reaper.
- Master Tower: 5 Floors, Boss is Pumpkin Head.
This is the most difficult tower of the three, and has the greatest rewards. The level of difficulty increased between 2009 and 2010 to accommodate higher levels and skills in wizards.
Note: The number and type of creatures on each floor will vary depending on how many wizards arrive on that floor.

OSHKOSH, WI (WSAU) District Attorney Christian Gossett won't be allowed to carry a concealed weapon inside the courtrooms in Winnebago County.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court refused to order the judges in that county to allow him to carry his gun. Failing that, he wanted the state's high court to take up his case as an original action. Yesterday, the court said it wouldn't meet either request.
Winnebago County judges had told Gossett nobody but law enforcement officers can carry in their courts without a written permission. The DA says that ban conflicts with parts of the state's concealed carry law which does allow prosecutors to carry weapons if they have a permit.

ACHILLE, OK-- The town of Achille is in hot water again. Several city officials have decided to resign as a result of Tuesday night's city council meeting. KTEN's Erin Jones has the story.
Once again, controversy has erupted in Achille. For the second time in a week, the town's city council has fired Police Chief Eric Guhl.
"They run the mayor off, they run a good chief of police off here and they've run off all the officers here," says Stacy Scoggins, Achille's former Fire Chief, "It's unfortunate."
Last week, the council terminated Guhl through a majority vote during a city council meeting, but the next day they changed their minds and members held a special press conference to tell Guhl they had decided to reinstate him.
Guhl was supposed to be officially reinstated at this past Tuesday's city council meeting, but that never happened.
Former Achille Police Captain Allen Golden says, "I received a telephone call from Chief Guhl last night that they did not decide to keep him again and I feel really unfortunate for the citizens."
"I was pretty surprised , pretty shocked, because less than a week before that those particular council members were eager to bring me back," says Guhl.
As a result, Mayor Dean Collins, Fire Chief Stacy Scoggins and two police officers have all resigned.
Leaving Achille with two officers to patrol the entire city, something that residents say is concerning.
"We're more likely to start having a problem," says one local resident.
"Nobody likes it, like I said, because something could be happening and nobody would be here to stop it," adds another.
But despite the concern, city officials say Tuesday's decision is the last straw.
"I've obtained legal council and we are exploring taking legal action against the board of trustees," says Guhl.
Former Captain Golden adds, "I've already changed departments."
While they wish the citizens of Achille the best, they say they're done being a part of it.

If you've followed this blog for awhile, you know I love me some video games, especially E3 week (see here). I'll try to catch up on the press conferences once I'm home from work, and give my thoughts like I did last year. For those of you who don't give a damn, I'll be sure to put in a jump so I don't take up too much of your dashboards. As for things I'm looking forward to and what I'm expecting, here's some early bulletpoint thoughts, cause bulletpoints are my fave.
Besides that, who knows? That's half the fun of this week, having games come out of nowhere to look awesome. Here's hoping there are plenty of awesome things to wait for. What are you kids looking forward to/hoping to see?

Transformers Sequel Lacks Any Real Human Connection
- Wednesday, June 24, 2009
DVD Release Date: October 20, 2009
Theatrical Release Date: June 24, 2009
Rating: PG-13 (for intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, language, some crude and sexual material and brief drug material)
Genre: Action/Sci-Fi
Run Time: 150 min.
Director: Michael Bay
Actors: Shia LeBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, Isabel Lucus, Rainn Wilson, Tyrese Gibson, Hugo Weaving, Isabel Lucas, Ramon Rodriguez
File Under: Well, now I know …
Just in case you've ever wondered what it's like to watch someone else play videogames for two and a half hours, sitting through Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will definitely satiate your curiosity. And yes, it's just as boring and uninspiring as you probably imagined.
Proving yet again that less is definitely more, especially when it comes to seemingly endless sequences of CGI stunts, Revenge of the Fallen is everything most ill-conceived sequels are: bigger, considerably longer and much, much louder than its predecessor. Coincidentally, that's a pretty convenient starting point for tackling the flick's myriad of weaknesses.
Adding to the overall feeling of madness is a poorly written script with no discernable heartbeat or concern for characterization. While the first installment of Transformers was a fairly likeable story about a guy and his first car, that just happens to be, well, alive, this story doesn't give its leading man Sam (Shia LeBeouf) much to do. In fact, I'd venture to say he looks pretty bored for most of the film's running time, even with a planet to save and Megan Fox sauntering around as the requisite eye candy.
Really, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is truly a movie only a fanboy could love, and with all its brainless excess, I'm sure there will be some disappointment with that particular contingency, too. After all, when Sam saved the planet last time around, there wasn't really a need for a sequel. Everything ended nice and tidy. But when a movie grosses $700 million worldwide, the temptation is always there to create one anyway, much to the detriment of the loyal moviegoer. Still, when done right, a second installment of an already successful movie can beat the odds. In my humble opinion, this summer's Night at the Musuem: Battle of the Smithsonian is a recent example of a sequel done right.
But with little in the way of an actual story in Revenge of the Fallen, and trust me, fleshing out the plot is ultimately an exercise in futility, director Michael Bay, (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor), who is often skewered by critics for a heavy-handed, over-the-top approach, was simply left the challenge of outdoing himself.
And Bay does that in spades here. With incomprehensible action scenes haphazardly strung together, tuning in is exhausting rather than exhilarating. Basically, all that special effects magic is simply wasted because it adds nothing to the story's bottom line. When the audience never fully understands what's happening (or why), no amount of grandiose explosions, giant shards of metal flying in every direction or gritty Man VS. Machine combat will suffice. Instead, the filmmakers might have considered setting aside a few of those CGI dollars for a great screenplay instead. Now that could've made the Transformers sequel worth watching. …
When the over-the-top action hysterics finally takes a backseat, civilian life isn't much more interesting. In what feels like a half-hearted plot that wasn't fully thought through, Sam is giving regular life a shot by enrolling in Princeton. But as soon as he finds a mysterious metallic rock in his bedroom as he's packing, a move that feels a little too Indiana Jones from the start, it doesn't take long to realize that Sam won't be attending many classes.

The Volkswagen Eco-Racer got 85 mpg and look there viagra attorneys the Fiat Ecobasic got 94 mpg using existing technology. The Fiat even had four seats! So how did they do it...and why weren't they produced?
Both cars achieved such fantastic mileage primarily by being a heck of a lot lighter than anything else on the road. The VW eco-racer (not only economical, but also zippy) was made of carbon fiber. And while that means less gas, it also means a higher price. The Ecobasic on the other hand, went plastic. And that might reduce gas mileage, but it also can compromise safety.
In the end, neither of the cars are designed for markets that want fuel economy. If you want a "racer," they don't care how much carbon is flying out the tail-pipe, and if you want an economy car, you're not willing to cheap levitra professional without rx pay thousands of dollars extra for fuel economy that will likely never pay for itself.
At least...for now. As gas prices go up, and carbon fiber gets cheaper, there's no way we won't see other incarnations of these vehicles on the road in the next ten years. Hopefully in hybrid or electric form.
