Save the Date: Public Meeting on Central Bedford
Tuesday, October 14
The City of Bedford would like to invite the public to a presentation and meeting on Central Bedford. It was labeled 'The Vision for Central Bedford' and has a design that takes advantage of all that Bedford has to offer.
It started with an idea to create a unique district to convey the identity and culture of our community, all the while continuing to build a robust tax base for the City. It incorporates many of Bedford's assets such as, our central location in the metroplex and our ideal proximity to DFW Airport. It also received extensive community input from our Mayor, City Council, local businesses and citizens.
This plan will help enhance the central area of Bedford for years to come, so please join us on Tuesday, October 14 at the Public Library to hear more information about the design standards for this exciting new project in the City of Bedford.
Location: Bedford Public Library,
When: 6:30p.m on Tuesday, October 14

Texas Government Code, Chapter 552, known as the Texas Public Information Act (the "Act"), gives the public the right to request access to governmental information. The Act is triggered when a person submits a written request to a governmental body and must ask for records or information already in existence. The Act does not require a governmental body to create new information, to do legal research, or to answer questions.
A person may ask to view the information, get copies of the information, or both. If a request is for copies of information, the governmental body may charge for the copies. If a request is only for an opportunity to inspect information, then usually the governmental body may not impose a charge on the requestor. However, under certain limited circumstances a governmental body may impose a charge for access to information. All charges imposed by a governmental body for copies or for access to information must comply with the rules prescribed by the Office of the Attorney General ("OAG"), unless another statute authorizes an agency to set its own charges.

Listen to Nosaj Thing - Home LP on Bleep.
I started this list with the intention of ranking the remixes one through twenty five, like I did with others. But soon realized that this was not going to happen because I feel remixes occupy the gray areas in music. It's difficult to rank a reworking, in my mind it's either great or crap, a visceral reaction. Some criteria can be the quality of the original, distance from the original while keeping the feeling, production techniques or simply much it makes you wanna dance. I have a love hate relationship with dance music, I hate to dance but I love the beats. So, the best I can do at this point is present my favorite twenty five songs in alpha order. There are some serious scorchers here though, can't wait to listen to this playlist for a while. Enjoy, Craig.

FDA approves TOBI Podhaler to treat a type of bacterial lung infection in cystic fibrosis patients
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved TOBI Podhaler (tobramycin inhalation powder) for the management of cystic fibrosis patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium that causes lung infections.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects about 30,000 pediatric and adult patients in the United States. Cystic fibrosis causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that builds up in the lungs and blocks airways. The buildup of mucus makes it easy for bacteria like P. aeruginosa to grow and cause a chronic lung infection that, over time, can severely damage the lungs. Many patients with cystic fibrosis are treated with antibiotics using a nebulizer machine.
TOBI Podhaler, a plastic, handheld inhaler device, contains a dry powder formulation of tobramycin, an antibiotic used to treat P. aeruginosa infection. The powder is inhaled twice daily using the Podhaler device for 28 days. Patients should then stop TOBI Podhaler therapy for 28 days before resuming again.
"Today's approval broadens the available delivery mechanism options for patients with cystic fibrosis who require treatment for P. aeruginosa," said Edward Cox, M.D., M.P.H, director of the Office of Antimicrobial Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "This product is the first dry powder antibacterial drug delivered with a handheld dry powder inhaler."
TOBI Podhaler's effectiveness was established in a study of 95 pediatric and adult patients with cystic fibrosis. All patients were 6 years of age or older and infected with P. aeruginosa. Patients were randomly assigned to receive TOBI Podhaler or a placebo for the first 28 days of the study. All patients then received treatment with TOBI Podhaler for the remainder of the study.
The study was designed to determine the improvement in lung function by measuring the change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Patients treated with TOBI Podhaler experienced a statistically significant increase of 12.5 percent in FEV1 compared to 0.09 percent in patients treated with placebo. Additional data supporting safety and effectiveness were available from other studies enrolling 487 patients.
Common side effects reported in patients treated with TOBI Podhaler during the clinical studies included cough, including a cough that produces phlegm or mucus; coughing up of blood (hemoptysis); lung disorder; shortness of breath; fever; mouth and throat pain; changes in voice volume or quality (dysphonia); and headache.
TOBI Podhaler is marketed by East Hanover, N.J.-based Novartis.

Love it - love it - love it!! We needed to replace our 4-burner stove top which was embedded in a 30-inch cut-out in a Granite countertop. I wanted and needed more burners but did not want the hassle of cutting the Granite nor did I want to loose counter space to accomodate a 36-inch stove-top. I wanted a quick, EASY solution. This worked out PERFECT!!! My favorite part is the 5th burner in the middle - it boils a large pot of water quicker than I ever imagined! If you are in a situation like ours - this is a perfect quick-fix and to our surprise, a true upgrade. The entire stove-top (each and every burner) works and operates more superior than our previous Jenn-Aire did. I do not have a problem with space because if I am using all the burners - I just turn the handles to the outside. We just couldn't be happier.
My cooktop is under a year old; I take impeccable care of it. I use it, of course, but keep it very clean and clean it quickly after use . . . . here's the problem . . . .
One of the grates came chipped. You couldn't see the chip with the grates installed so I didn't worry about it. That chip is now rusting as are a few other areas. Now, I don't take the grates off and bang them around. I simply take them off and clean them one at a time in my large single basin sink.
And the knobs . . . they're all cracking. The surface of them is fine; not a scratch on them, but the layer underneath what looks like a clear coat is cracking. Every single one of them.
I don't use my cooktop nearly as much as some of my friends and the $1000 unit is under a year old. I've put in a warranty claim with Sears . . . let's see how this goes.

Very happy with this cooktop - it has been installed and in use for over 6 months and absolutely no problems. I love the 5 burners and I do not feel it is crowded. I also have not had any issues with the knobs - I was concerned about the placement and coming in contact with hot pans, this is not the case and has not been an issue. Knobs are also very durable.

I read in the directions not to use a sponge that scratches, but my husband went behind my back and decided to clean the stove and now my brand new stove has scratches on it. Shouldn't stainless steel be stronger than this???

We love the new Kenmore cooktop, especially the variety of burners and particularly the dual ring burner. However the outside dimensions for the cooktop do not tell you that the left & right front edges taper away from the 21.75 inch; front to back dimension. This presented a problem for us since we were trying to cover an existing opening in a granite island. Needed to add a stainless surround to cover the opening.
via sears.com
I couldn't take my Kenmore Pro 6 burner with me when I moved and I hated the builder grade 4 burner in the new house. This is the next best thing--5 burners, fit exactly in the existing slot with no cutting, and I get my power burner, double burner with simmer and knobs in the front. I just wish it was a little wider for large pots.
via sears.com
This is such a great cooktop. I love that it has 5 burners, it replace one that had 4. Easy to use, fires up very quickly. The grates are a little hard to clean though. Overall very pleased.
Darien, IL

In an effort to replace a 20+ year old cooktop which was installed in our Caesar Stone countertop I was shocked to find out how BIG all the new gas cooktops were. I looked at dozens of cooktops and this is the only one that would fit in my 26.5 x 18.5 inch opening! Depth was also an issue: 4.75 inches. Thankfully, this cooktop fit so snugly in my opening that we didn't even need to use the clamps that came with it. This saved us about $200 to have the stone guys come out and enlarge the opening....for which they wouldn't guarantee the results. The dimensions that are listed on the website are misleading and Kenmore should get more precise about this. Lucky thing is: I am enjoying this cooktop immensely! It is easy to clean and I love the level cooking surface to move pots around. Granted, you can't fit 5 large pots on it at the same time, so what? Plan ahead. A couple of the burners make a sputtering sound when set to medium, so I will call and request an adjustment.

A St. Petersburg attorney is following through with his threat to sue the city of St. Petersburg over last year's killing of his dog. To succeed, he has to convince Florida courts to change a basic premise of common law.
"What the change is, is that we recognize that our companion pets are members of the family and not simply property," attorney Roy Glass told FOX 13 News.
Boomer, a 12-year old Golden Retriever, was shot and killed October 2, 2011 by a St. Petersburg Police officer. Boomer had escaped from his yard and was blocking the front door of a house about a block away. At the time, the police department said the officer was attempting to entice the dog into the back seat of her cruiser when he suddenly turned on her, forcing her to shoot him.
The wounds were not fatal, and witnesses described Boomer's demise as slow and agonizing.
The next month, Glass, Boomer's master, served notice on the city of his claim for damages. Glass told FOX 13 News the city made an offer to settle that he described as "too low." In a petition to be filed in state court this week, Glass refers to several scientific studies on the relationships between humans and their pets, then alleges the examples "...demonstrate that the bond between a companion animal and a human animal is real and capable of empirical study and analysis. In addition, the human-animal bond is recognized to have financial business implications, as well as personal emotional influence."
That argument goes to the heart of Glass's claim: That he and his family should be compensated for the grief suffered by Boomer's death. Although the petition claims damages exceed $15,000, Glass said a jury would decide any specific damages.
"When you see another golden retriever, it brings back memories. I mean, they all look very similar. So, it's true grief and it's true mental pain and suffering," Glass said. "There's lots of damages in the law that aren't subject to mathematical computation. For example, mental pain and suffering and grief -- that's up to the jury to determine, there's no mathematical calculation for that."
The attorney admits the first step is convincing a district court that the death of a dog is a "cause for action" under Florida law. Glass predicts an appeal to higher courts, regardless of the ruling on that issue. That part of the dispute has to be decided before consideration can be given to whether the shooting was justified.
Jennifer Dietz, a Tampa Attorney who specializes in animal law, said she thought Glass put forth a solid argument in his lawsuit.
"What he laid out in his complaint was a very well-thought out argument that this was not just a dog, but this was a member of the family," Dietz said.
But the courts don't see it that way. Under Florida law, family pets are considered property, no different than the living room couch.
"You have the same rights and they have the same rights as a piece of furniture, like a chair. So, it's not fair that if something happens to your animal all you get is the fair market value, which if it came from the humane society, would be $25." Dietz says.
Glass and his family hope their lawsuit will change that.
"The bond between the family and the companion pet, it's equivalent to the loss of a human family member," Glass said.

Place oven rack in top position then preheat broiler. Brush chicken breasts with extra virgin olive oil then season with salt and pepper on both sides. Brush a large skillet over medium-high heat with oil then add chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes a side, or until no longer pink in the center.

Remembering Beth Butler and Honoring Her Commitment to Community
It was just over a year ago that Community Studies alumna Elizabeth (Beth) Butler ('96) died while investigating a domestic violence complaint as a Santa Cruz police detective, along with her colleague Butch Baker. Beth was a vibrant presence in Santa Cruz as a police officer, mother of two young sons, loving partner to Peter Wu and all around community stalwart. To honor Beth's life and work, Community Studies has created the Elizabeth Butler Scholarship Endowment for Full Time Field Study in Santa Cruz... Continue»

Other than cities, towns, and road systems, what we see today on the eastern mid-Atlantic U.S. landscape is quite different than what Native Americans saw before European contact. It was a world that essentially vanished as colonizers took root and transformed their environment to meet their needs. This is nothing new to most historians.
Thanks to recent research, however, scientists can now reconstruct that landscape with accuracy, providing information that may also help manage the environment of today.
It all has to do with milldams and leaves. According to a team of geoscientists, sediment behind milldams in Pennsylvania preserved leaves deposited just before European contact, providing a glimpse of ancient forests. Read more.
The hedge around your house is much more than just a random shrub with green leaves. It's a symbol of private property and marks the boundary between what's mine and what's yours.
The idea to enclose and define with straight lines is actually an ancient one.
Some of the first archaeological evidence of landscape boundaries dates back to England around 1,500 BC, but 500 years later it also appears in the rest of Northwestern Europe.
"From being a predominantly open landscape with large commons with scattered trees and bushes, the landscape became dominated by linear demarcation lines. People started to enclose their fields and suddenly started building embankments and trenches around their houses and villages," says PhD student Mette Løvschal, who works at Aarhus University's Department of Culture and Society – Section for Prehistoric Archaeology, where she is using archaeological finds and anthropological theories to try and solve the riddle of when, how and why we suddenly started enclosing what was ours. Read more.
FOREST, Va.— Another link to the past is being restored at Thomas Jefferson's Bedford County retreat.
Poplar Forest is replanting the home's original landscape.
Archeologists have spent the last two years looking for evidence of trees and flowers that used to grow on the property.
New versions of the former plants are being installed, starting with a grove of paper mulberry trees that was replanted Tuesday.
Each is in the same location where Jefferson planted his own trees 200 years ago.
"We went through a very exacting process to finad exactly where he planted these trees, so that when we restore it we know it is exact locations and it is evocative of his design," said Jack Gary, Director of Archaeology and Landscapes at Poplar Forest.
The landscape restoration is being funded with help from the Garden Club of Virginia. (source)

Applications for BADA's Midsummer in Oxford Program are audition-based.
Fees In 2014 the fees were US$3,960 for tuition and US$2,990 for accommodation (including a single room in Magdalen College housing and breakfast, lunch and dinner on weekdays in Magdalen College). All fees are payable in American dollars.
BADA suggests that if you are offered a place on the program, you should then seriously consider the benefits of taking out a fee protection plan. While BADA considers requests for refunds for withdrawals on a case-by-case basis, in conjunction with its refund policy (made available at time of acceptance), it may be that any such refund would be by necessity limited. If for any reason you cannot start or complete the course, insurance would alleviate if not eliminate your financial loss.
Application Procedures The application process is comprised of an online submission and an audition. Online submissions can be made from January 1st, 2015 through the link at the bottom of this page.
The audition is comprised of a brief Shakespeare monologue (2 minutes or less), a contrasting contemporary monologue (also 2 minutes or less) and the cold reading of a Shakespeare sonnet.
The applicant is expected to audition in person but in some cases auditions may be recorded. Applicants wishing to audition in person must choose a location on the application form and will be contacted in reference to scheduling an appointment. A list of audition locations will be available in the News section of this website by the end of November. Applicants wishing to submit a recorded audition must indicate this preference on the application form and will be contacted with further instructions on recording and submissions.
Applications Applications for the Midsummer in Oxford Program 2015 open on Janaury 1st,2015.
Applicants will be notified of their audition location and date as soon as possible after their application has been received.
Acceptance Terms Students will be notified within four weeks of their audition whether or not they have been accepted. On acceptance, in order to hold their place, applicants will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of $500, which is deductible from the fees payable.
Financial Assistance BADA is a not-for-profit organisation committed to attracting as broad a range of students as possible and so encourages students to apply for financial aid. Major scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional talent at their audition and require financial assistance. In addition to our highly competitive major scholarships, a number of smaller awards are available to those individuals not chosen for major funding. Unfortunately BADA is not in the position to assist in the retention of outside grant or loan assistance. To apply for an award from BADA's scholarship fund complete the relevant part of the application form.

Bad things happen to everyone.
Yes, I understand that. And I think everyone has a right to get upset, or be hurt or whatever way they want to deal with it. But lately, I've been kinda letting it consume me.. and I don't like it.one.bit.
Lately, I've been a little… careless, let's say. I've been unmotivated lately and I don't really know where it's coming from because it's literally Week 8. 2 more weeks and then finals. I can't even believe it. It's not just school though, it's a little bit of everything..
This "unmotivation" has led me to just become even more lazy which in turn hurts the things I really do care about because they become neglected. SOMETIMES I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THINGS HAPPEN.
But, I think after everything has been said and done, I'm learning that bad things may happen, but good things can come out of it too. I've had a series of unfortunate events, but I have to look on the positive side because why dwell on something you can't even change? I think that's become a theme of winter quarter and another life lesson learned on my part..
"Sometimes unfortunate events are just blessings in disguise, you just have to look deep into it, and things will turn out alright."
It's alllllll going to be okay. Shit happens. Deal with it or not, but no one's gonna pick up the pieces for you. I'm independent, I can pick up the pieces on my own.

Six things to know about ESTA
- The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) applies only to travelers entering the United States visa free under the Visa Waiver Program. If you are traveling on a valid U.S. visa, you are not required to register.
- You must be qualified to travel under the Visa Waiver Program to submit a registration.
- ESTA does not recognize post-dated passports. If you have a post-dated passport, you cannot register under ESTA until the date on which the passport becomes valid for travel.
- You are not required to have firm travel plans to submit a registration. You may register at anytime. If approved the registration is valid for two year or until the date on which the passport expires, which ever comes first. Once registered, you may update your itinerary when your plans are finalized, but there is no requirement that you do so.
- While it is recommended that you submit a registration no less than 72 hours before travel, ESTA will accommodate last minute and emergency travelers.
- A third party may submit a registration on your behalf.
If you have not yet determined your eligibility to travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program, use our Visa Wizard to help you decide.
If you are eligible to travel under the VWP and wish to register under ESTA , please visit the official ESTA website at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov.

This kit covers 1985 to 1992 Hondas and during these years the Honda ECUs went through some major revisions. The early ECUs had four LEDs. Each LED had a different value (1, 2, 4, 8). If the Check Engine light came on, the computer displayed the code without requiring a switch over to a diagnostics mode.
All you do is observe the LEDs and add up the values of the lights. So the number 2 LED on means code 2. The number 4 and 2 illuminated means code 6 and so on. Later ECUs flash in short and long duration bursts. Short bursts for single digit while a long burst is the first digit of a two-digit code. Some 1991 and all 1992 and up ECUs use a jumper wire to initiate code reading and use the short/long flash method.
It should be noted that all codes must be erased after repairs and the manual details these procedures for each make.
Deciphering The CodeBreaking the code is only part of the battle. Deciphering the meaning of the numbers you have retrieved will allow you to pinpoint the problem area. The manual breaks down the codes and gives an insight into what may be wrong.
We have listed baseline codes in the accompanying chart for imports only because there are dozens of ECU and transmission codes for Ford and GM products and not enough room here to even come close to providing an overview of the pertinent number groups.
Component DiagnosisDiagnosing is a chase wherein you box in the problem by eliminating possibilities and pinpointing the component that is faulty.
The included Sensor Tester is used to check codes that lead to the TPS, EGR, O2, Temperature, Knock and Hall Effect sensors as well as ignition modules. The Sensor Probe is used to identify problems in MAP, MAF or Vein Airflow sensors.
The Multimeter reads DC volts, resistance, and current draw and has high tech and low tack scales as well as dwell in degrees and duty cycle in percentage. It can be used to check the health of the electrical system, confirm if switches, solenoids and relays are functioning properly. It can verify that ignition coils and wires, fuel injectors and a number of other sensors are in working order.
If you are rolling an OBD-I-equipped car this kit hits the bull's-eye. While we cover the basics here, we cannot rave enough about the info in the manuals and on the videos; it puts forth the proper information in an easy-to-understand manner. The kit gives enthusiasts the Sherlock Holmes intuition needed to narrow down the suspects and flush out the guilty party when it comes to the smooth running of their car. Next time our Diagnostics section will address the code breaking needs of OBD-II cars.

Asymmetry in the business cycle: Evidence from the Australian labour market
AbstractCyclical asymmetry has been recognised as a nonlinear phenomenonin recent studies examining unemployment rate time series. In this paper we use a number of established and new tests for identifying nonlinearities of the bilinear (BL), exponential autoregressive (EXPAR), smooth transition autoregressive (STAR), and self-exciting threshold autoregressive (SETAR) types as they occur in time series of the seasonally differenced logarithm of monthly Australian aggregate and regional unemployment rates. After identifying nonlinearity of a particular form within a given time series, the appropriate model is fitted and representations from the model analysed for their cyclical behaviour.
