wH3LLcome to the MADhouse Zombette, you WILL enjoy it here, no doubt possible. The coolest people EVER!!!
Hi, I'm new. I love horror. I am going to school for TV and broadcasting mostly to learn the technical aspects of filming and to get some money to pay to do something independently some day. I did music for a long time, about six years or so. My favourite kind of horror movies generally consist of gritty stuff. Supernatural sort of themes are okay but nothing beats something that you can see happening to you or someone you know. I hate a lot of CGI stuff and definitely have an appreciation for the days of latex, blood packs and prosthetic rigs.
wH3LLcome to our sweet kick ass and crazy MADhouse.
We also have a few directors and producers in here so you'll fit right in. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you need. We love helping out.
And enjoy the best place this side of the Moon.

This is a fan report from one of our readers. Tommy Bun from Indonesia is currently attending the Djarum Indonesia Super Series.
The qualification rounds of the Indonesia Super Series are over, and the strongest players of the day have made their way through to the main draw where their opponents await them. However, in spite of home court advantage, no Indonesians made it through the qualifying rounds in the mens singles draw. Hayom Rumbaka, Yunus Alamsyah and Tommy Sugiarto all failed to book a place in the main draw.
In womens singles the young Singaporean Fu Ming Tian, who played very well at last week's Sinapore Super Series by beating Lu Lan, didn't perform quite as well as she struggled to beat her opponents in the qualifying round this week.
Controversy surrounded the mixed doubles match between Moh Tazari/Wong Pei Ty and Lee Sheng Mu/Chien Yu Chin. After splitting the first two sets the match headed in to extra points in the final set after some exciting badminton. As the Malaysian's lead 23-22 Tazari hit a smash that appeared to be wide to the line judge, however the umpire overruled the call, and in spite of the Taiwanese pair's protests, the call stood, and the match was over.
Stay tuned for results from the main draw

Frequently Asked Questions
You can tuneup your browser to best use the Academy modules by
personalizing your preferences, found under the edit section in the pull-down menus.
You can also email any part of the modules through an email program other than the one integrated in your browser: Select the text you wish to send,
choose Copy under the Edit menu, select your email program
and paste the selected text into an email message addressed to your instructor.
Printing a page
Network Connections
1. By going to the complete table of contents, which covers the entire module:
Glossary Words
Make sure your browser in set up for your email address, enabling you to send your assignments through the web. If you are in a computer lab--or on a computer other than your own--the email preferences may be set to someone else's email address. As a backup, keep a printed copy or email yourself a copy of any email you send to your instructor.
You can print responses to questions or other pages in an Academy module. To print: select Print under the File menu. The current page will then print on a printer that is configured to work from your computer.
Font Size
Your browser may offer several features which you may find helpful in using an Academy module. For example, you can enlarge or decrease the font size of your browser. Different browsers and different versions of the same browser place this option in different places.
Back to the top
JavaScript errors normally occur for one of two reasons:
The Academy modules are designed to be distributed from a wide variety of computers and network configurations. If you are viewing the modules through a high speed connection (e.g. 28.8+ K dial-up or a T1, T3 direct connection) you will likely take advantage of the streaming media options for listening and watching the presentation and other content. If you are using a slower connection (such as 28.8 K dial-up), here are a few tactics for improving your experience while learning from the Academy Modules.
Navigating the modules
Getting Started
Every module has four main sections: Orientation, Support, Lessons, and Practice. Absolute beginners should read the orientation section and then go directly to the first lesson.
Tips for quick navigation around the module:
As you become familiar with the module structure, you'll notice there's various paths to allow you freedom to move around the module. There are three basic navigation paths available.
The navigation bar at the top of the pages tells you which module and lesson you are working on--in this case, PBS Lesson 2
The bar also provides three easy methods for navigating the module:
2. By directly going to the level you need (Orientation, support, lesson, or assessment.)
3. By using the arrows on the top and bottom of the right hand side of the page. These arrows allow you to go forward one page (right arrow), back one page (left arrow), or to the table of contents (lines and dots in the middle) for the level you are using.
Back to the top
Glossary words or terms that appear in the text body are underlined. Click the underlined glossary item to see the definition. While viewing a glossary definition, click "Full Glossary" at the top of the top left of the definition window to view the entire module glossary.
Module Structure
You do not have to follow a linear path through the modules. Indeed, such a plan may lead to confusion. The support level of the module is designed to SUPPORT your learning. The modules's content is contained in the lessons. If you attempt to answer the directed questions and assessment in the support level before completing the lessons, then, you may undergo some frustration, since the questions test material not yet covered. Therefore, it makes sense for most users to access the lessons BEFORE attempting the support level tasks, unless you wish to use the questions as a pretest.
As the title suggests, the support level is designed to assist you as you learn!
Back to the top
Media and Transcripts
The content in the lesson preview and presentation is available in both media and transcript formats. The media format uses the Real G2 player to present the content as audio and synchronized images. Most users prefer the media format, however the media content is also replicated as a transcript for users unable to use Real G2 or prefer to print the content. Clicking on any image in the transcript provides an enlarged view of the image.
Streaming Media
A feature of the Academy Modules is the audio lectures accompanied by synchronous graphics. To experience these media presentations you need the Real G2 player. You can download it free from Real Networks. Your computer must have a sound card to enable you to hear audio files. If you are using a computer that is incapable of audio, you can still benefit from the Academy modules by using the low bandwidth "transcript" options. The table below shows acceptable hardware and software configurations for experiencing Academy modules. Be sure to print out the handouts from the presentation page before you start.

Bellarmine graduation
"Hospitality - in its deepest sense - is an exceptionally important value at Bellarmine University, as we regularly welcome new ideas, new perspectives and new people."
When I read these words from Bellarmine's president, Joseph J. McGowan, in the C-J, I had to laugh to keep from crying; there has never been a truer oxymoron uttered than "Bellarmine hospitality." I speak from personal experience. All three of my sons have attended Bellarmine, so I have seen Bellarmine hospitality up close and personal since the fall of 2003.
My youngest son is now graduating from Bellarmine on May 11, and because of their "hospitality," one of his siblings and all of his grandparents will not be able to attend since each graduate only receives five tickets for admission. How is that for a welcoming institution? Last year there were 500 people denied admission to Knights Hall on graduation day who had to watch the ceremony on a livestream video from another building. How is that for a welcoming institution?
So I say to Bellarmine University, build your pretentious arch on Newburg Road and continue to "welcome" those large freshman classes each fall, but be honest right from the start and tell these prospective students and their families that you have no intention of holding their graduation ceremony in a venue that is large enough to accommodate their friends and relatives who would like to attend.
What a sad way this is to end one's college experience. Shame, shame, shame on Bellarmine University. Where are those people with the big yellow signs when you need them?

Alzheimer's costs
On April 24, nearly a thousand advocates traveled to Washington, D.C., for the 25th Alzheimer's Association Advocacy Forum. I want to thank Rep. John Yarmuth, Sen. Mitch McConnell and Sen. Rand Paul Rand for their willingness to meet with us about the need for more Alzheimer's research funding.
Today there are more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's. During their visits, advocates shared with our local members of Congress what this disease has done to families. I know firsthand the impact of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's; I cared for my grandmother and watched as the disease stole her away.
In Kentucky alone, more than 266,000 friends and family members provide unpaid care valued at $3.7 million for loved ones with Alzheimer's or another dementia, and more than 80,000 Kentuckians are currently living with Alzheimer's.
Currently the sixth-leading cause of death, Alzheimer's is the only cause among the top 10 without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression.We urgently need better treatments and better ways to identify those at risk for getting Alzheimer's, so we can intervene earlier in the disease process. If you agree, please write Rep. Yarmuth and/or Sens. McConnell and Paul and let them know how you and your family have been impacted by Alzheimer's.

Cleaning up the mess
Columnists Scott Jennings and Charles Krauthammer have both suggested that President Obama has validated the Bush administration by following in former President Bush's footsteps. I would like to suggest that this is not a validation but rather Obama's continuing effort to clean up the mess.

Infamous anniversary
Columnist Scott Jennings wrote a glowing assessment of George W. Bush's presidency that was timed perfectly with the 10th anniversary on May 1 of Bush's cocky and overplayed arrival on an aircraft carrier to announce that his "mission" in Iraq had been "accomplished." I wonder if Jennings planned his column for this infamous anniversary.

Smead's ordination
A May 2 letter-writer asks why Rosemarie Smead's ordination ceremony took place in a Protestant sanctuary. The answer is that there were no Catholic sanctuaries able or willing to host the ordination. As a denomination that values women in ministry, a United Church of Christ congregation stepped forward to host this remarkable, if not historic, event. We did not do this to be offensive, bigoted, hateful, insulting, degrading, sacrilegious, or to make a mockery out of Catholicism. (These are just a few of the accusations leveled against me and my congregation in the days following the ordination.) We did this because we love the Church of Jesus Christ in all its many forms and expressions.
As a Protestant I realize I have no voice within the Roman Catholic Church, but I call on the "Mother Church" to join her Protestant sisters and brothers in working toward a day when institutional sexism will disappear from the Church Universal, along with all other forms of discrimination that are regularly practiced at the communion table, the pulpit, and the wedding altar.

Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson warms up Nov. 17, 2012, in Ann Arbor. / Associated Press
MOBILE, Ala. -- Denard Robinson wore a yellow No. 16 no-contact jersey for the second straight day because of his nagging elbow injury at the Senior Bowl, and NFL Network analyst Charles Davis said Robinson is missing a valuable chance to show NFL talent evaluators that he can make the transition from quarterback to receiver.
Im not sure thats all his fault -- because hes been dinged up, he can only do so many things, Davis said. I know that in one-on-one drills, they werent allowed to press him, they had to back off of him because of the injury he has. So no, the answer is no (he hasnt done enough to prove he can play receiver). Hes got a long way to go with that.
Robinson ran a handful of routes in one-on-one drills after being limited to position work Monday, but the all-time FBS leader in career rushing yards by a quarterback sat out full team drills for the second straight day.
He beat Utah State cornerback Will Davis with a nice double move to catch a deep ball in one-on-ones, but Charles Davis said Robinson is still extremely raw in his route running.
Thats like taking me and saying, All right, now Charles, youve been doing football your whole life, I want you to captain a Viking ship, Davis said. Its brand new stuff, and even though I may have some knowledge because Ive watched movies and read a book, it doesnt mean Im capable of it just yet. Does it mean I cant grow into it? No, it means I can, but he still has to do that. Hes just going to be raw early.
Robinson, who suffered nerve damage in his right elbow in Michigans October loss to Nebraska that still makes it difficult to grip a football, said he hopes to be cleared for full contract in time for Wednesdays practice.
Along with his receiver work, he continued to field punts during a special teams period at the end of practice. Robinson said he felt more comfortable in his second day catching balls from a left-footed punter, but he only made one clean catch on the four punts he fielded.
He misjudged two punts that bounced a few yards in front of him and bobbled a third.
"It takes some time with guys," Davis said. "Were expecting him to come out right away and run every route correctly and do this, that and everything. Thats just not fair to him."

In a video posted online Jan. 17, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force James Cody acknowledged widespread criticisms that the current Enlisted Performance Report ratings are often inflated. Roughly 80 percent of enlisted airmen receiving the top score of 5, Cody said, which renders the rating system effectively useless.
He told an audience of enlisted airmen that they instead might be evaluated based on written summaries or word pictures of their performance under the new EPR system.
When you look to the future, were really not even having a discussion about 3s, 4s and 5s, Cody said. Were not even looking at using those number scales in the future. Were looking at, do you fit into this word picture? Does this word picture describe you as an airman and your performance?
Through his spokesman, Master Sgt. Lee Hoover, Cody declined an interview request to expand on the possible EPR changes because many details have not yet been finalized. Hoover also said that the Air Force has not yet definitively decided to drop the numerical ratings.
It will be dramatically different, Cody said in the video. To get to where we need to be, you cant just cut at it at the fringes.
Cody also said that a new feedback form, or Airman Comprehensive Assessment, will be the first piece of the enlisted evaluation system to be implemented.
In preparing that form, supervisors will ask their airmen about some personal matters that could affect their careers in the Air Force, he said.
Were going to get to the point where were asking you questions that today were probably not comfortable talking about with each other finances, relationships, all the things that impact your ability to be an airman in our Air Force, Cody said.
Cody said the new evaluation system will likely have some level of forced distribution of performance highs and lows, because it is unrealistic to have the bulk of airmen rated at the top. He did not offer details on how the written performance summaries would be judged against one another.
Cody said that during the span of an airmans career, the quality of his performance is likely to go up and down as he gets promoted or takes on new responsibilities. It is normal for someones performance to dip while he learns new skills, Cody said, and the revised EPR should take that into consideration.
The day we promote you, are you going to be a really good staff sergeant? Cody said. Likely not as good as other staff sergeants around you that have been doing it a while. It takes time for all of us to learn our new jobs.
Given time, when we implement the new EPR, well get used to that, that this is what a career looks like, Cody said, making a wave gesture with his hand. We will manage expectations through some level of forced distribution. Well still promote our best. There will still be assignment opportunity for airmen. But its just not going to be the way it was.
Cody also said that in June or July, the Air Force will begin considering retraining opportunities for airmen in fiscal 2015. That could mean reversing some of the cross-training reductions the Air Force announced in November as part of its force management efforts.
You cant cross-train somebody into a career field and then all of a sudden notify people in that career field, at the same rank, that were looking at having to reduce the size of that career field, Cody said.
But Cody said that the force management effort is not going to result in career fields getting combined beyond the normal review process the Air Force conducts.

At a time when student loan debt tops $1 trillion and can be called a national economic crisis, the student loan "compromise" that passed the Senate, is likely to pass the House and is endorsed by President Barack Obama doesn't look like a good deal for students.
Through its inaction, Congress allowed the interest rate on subsidized Stafford loans, available to students from low- and moderate-income families, to double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent July 1.
Before and since then, Washington has been trying to come up with some kind of deal. What it has come up with is this: interest rates will be 3.9 percent for undergrads this fall, 5.4 percent for graduate students and 6.4 percent for students' parents.
But those rates will now be tied to the financial markets and are expected to rise, with a cap of 8.25 percent for undergrads, 9.5 percent for graduate students and 10.5 percent for parents.
And the Congressional Budget Office projects that the federal government will make a $185 billion profit on the deal over the next decade.
It's OK for the government to charge interest to recoup its costs in administering the student loan program, but it should in no way be making a profit off of it.
Just think about this for a minute. We want people to get college degrees. We want a college education to be as affordable as possible. We understand there will be student-loan debt, but we want people to be able to pay it off quickly and with as little burden as possible. The easier it is for people to pay off their student loans, the easier it will be for them to buy homes, cars and consumer goods; get married and start families. Those are all things that are vital to our nation's economy.
Congress' and the president's goal in this "compromise" should be to move closer to that scenario. Instead, this deal makes contending with student loans more difficult. That might make it a little easier for the federal government to cut its debt, but it certainly isn't going to help strengthen our financial picture.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has been outspoken about student loan interest rates, calling the short-term decrease a "teaser rate" and saying, "I think the whole system stinks."
She had initially pushed for a 0.75 percent interest rate for one year, the same rate that the Federal Reserve gives to large banks. This week, she offered an amendment that would maintain the 3.4 percent rate until a better solution could be worked out. The amendment failed.
It's important, as well, to note that these loans, for low- and moderate-income families only account for about a quarter of government-backed student loans. Most other loans are at interest rates higher than 6 percent. That's hard to stomach when considering how low interest rates are in other sectors.
There's a lot about the student loan system that needs to be fixed - the ability to refinance loans, consumer protections afforded to other borrowers and simpler and more flexible repayment options among them. And there's a lot about college costs that need to be fixed - tuition and fees have risen 1,120 percent in the last 35 years, almost twice as fast as even health care.
So this is one small but meaningful problem. And Washington's solution might be a solution for Washington, but it sure isn't for college students and their families.

WASHINGTON -- White House and congressional aides have worked through the weekend on ways to avoid the "fiscal cliff," and there are signs of movement.
There's word that House Speaker John Boehner is offering $1 trillion in higher tax revenue over 10 years, and an increase in the top tax rate on people making more than $1 million a year.
Boehner is looking for $1 trillion in spending cuts from government benefit programs like Medicare. He's also pressing for a less generous inflation adjustment for Social Security benefits.
The details come from officials familiar with the offer.
Officials say Boehner's offer on Friday also includes a large enough extension in the government's borrowing cap to fund the government for one year before the issue would have to be revisited. But President Barack Obama would have to agree to the $1 trillion in cuts.
One Democratic aide in Congress says there's apparently been "good progress" since the offer was made.

We found these drops worked great in suppressing coughs in both kids and adults. My kids did think the taste was "too spicy", however the dosage requirement was so small they got over it fairly quickly! I thought the taste was great as I find other cough mixtures way too sweet! Yes, I would recommend it and it is very reasonably priced!

Reader David Glück referred me to this site, which prompted me to respond. Perhaps you'll go there, read the essay, and return to see my response, below…
I read this unsigned essay with great interest. Therein, I found a few canards of which I'd not previously heard. For example, I assure the author that I, as a devoted skeptic but not a cynic, personally have no fear nor worry whatsoever that claimed psi phenomena might turn out to be real, as he thought might be the case with some. In fact, upon being presented with firm evidence establishing this wonderful circumstance, I would delight in trying to solve the modi operandi that might bring about telepathy, precognition, or other such phenomena.
The author writes: "Sceptics – identified as such from prior personality profiling – have been found unconsciously to influence the results of psi experiments by consistently producing results lower than would be expected by chance." Using that same standard, substitute "believers" for "sceptics," and "higher" for "lower." I believe this is properly described by an old saying involving interchangeable sauce for geese and ganders…?
The "It's the kind of thing I would not believe in even if it were true" statement is, to me, unforgiveable, and I cannot embrace that thought. I am a rationalist, and proper evidence will establish, for me, any claim. For the last decade, through the James Randi Educational Foundation, I have offered a one-million-dollar prize to any person who can establish that any paranormal, supernatural, or occult claim is true. The fact that no one has won this prize, nor even passed the preliminary stage of testing, either indicates that no one can do so, or that a suitable applicant has yet to apply. I prefer the latter possibility, though I admittedly have no belief in these wonders, because all that I've seen in my 80-plus years, have been the results of trickery or self-delusion.
The author also writes: "A great deal of what debunkers write in their books is not really researched at all closely, but simply lifted from earlier books." In respect to this comment, I refer you to the geese-and-ganders sauce application mentioned above… I note, too, that the author quotes extensively from staunch believers, and expresses little – if any – doubt that they speak sooth.
True skeptics are always willing to be shown, as I am. And it may happen, though I note that none of the prominent figures of today such as Uri Geller have expressed any interest in accepting my challenge. That, in itself, speaks loudly to the skeptic. But then, Geller appears to be making a bid to tell all, since he now only accepts the designation "entertainer" or "showman," not wanting to be described as "psychic." What will the next phase of his newly-adopted stance involve, I wonder?

American Council on Exercise4851 Paramount DriveSan Diego, California 92123
Traditional anatomy classes have taught that muscles function as a series of individual, isolated components with each one having a specific purpose. Consequently, many exercises are designed to work only one muscle group or body part at a time. As research about the muscular system has progressed, we've learned all muscles are connected via fascia and connective tissues that work synergistically to control movement. In this recorded webinar led by ACE Exercise Physiologist Pete McCall, you'll explore the latest understandings about the myofascial system, and how it works to produce and control forces in the body. You'll learn the physiology of specific muscular subsystems and myofascial lines, and methods of organizing exercises that are tailored to the way your clients move.
You will learn:
User Comments: I really appreciate the practical application of learning more about myofascial anatomy. I would have liked more of it.

Oakfield tornado raw video footage July 18, 1996, taken by Bryan Novak and Patti McBride. / Video courtesy of Bryan Novak
File photo. 1996 Oakfield tornado
Bryan Novak had been hearing about bad weather all day, that hot summer evening 17 years ago.
By 2 p.m. on July 18, 1996, multiple tornadoes had spawned in Wisconsin along a front that moved across the middle of the state.
Novak, then 34 and living at W8520 County Trunk D, Oakfield, had just finished dinner and was settling in to watch a 6:30 p.m. TV show when he saw an incredible sight.
�I looked out the window and I could see this hole in the sky,� he said.
Novak lived in a mobile home with his wife at the time. The couple�s only underground shelter was a root cellar about 30 feet from the front porch.
�I yelled at my wife, �You need to get out here and look at this,�� Novak said after running outside. �You could see the hole in the sky and see it rotating. If you saw the video, you didn�t see the tail for quite a while. I saw it way before it started to form.�
He ran back inside to grab a videocamera. His wife, Patti McBride, reluctantly helped him. He remembers stumbling as he tried to put a videotape in.
Beautiful but devastating
Once they started filming, they captured something beautiful but devastating � a characterization made by a passerby in a truck who stopped to chat with the couple in their front yard as the storm churned �-mile away toward Oakfield.
�I hate to say it, I know it�s doing destruction, but look how beautiful that is,� the man in the truck can be heard on the video saying to Novak and McBride.
�The guy that pulled up as I was videotaping it, he had been following the storm since Brandon,� said Novak.
The man saw the storm on his way home from work and followed it to Oakfield.
�It had already done damage to houses miles before I started taping it. The tornado had been going on, it just hadn�t picked up enough stuff to show its shape,� Novak said.
A feeling of dread welled inside Novak, who suddenly saw the roof blow off his neighbor�s barn less than a mile away. He realized the tornado was moving in a direct line toward Oakfield, where his sister lived and where he had grown up.
Direct hit
�At first you�re not thinking of it,� Novak said. �You�re caught up in the moment. Then all of a sudden when I saw it hit that farm � that farm is in a straight line to Oakfield. I knew it was probably only �-mile from Oakfield.
��Holy crap,� it dawned on me, �it�s going to hit Oakfield.� Then you saw the debris go up, that was the canning factory. (The ground) was just solid cans when it was done,� he said.
There was very little time for Oakfield residents to take cover. The storm sirens sounded not too many minutes before the cannery was destroyed.
The melee caused by the storm earned it an F-5 rating on the old Fujita Scale.
Novak said if someone stood at the northwest or southwest corners of Oakfield, �It looked like someone rolled a bowling ball straight through the city.�
�We were amazed,� said Novak, who drove through the city three days later with his sister, whose house was struck by a falling tree. �The path it left was probably 125 to 150 yards wide, they estimated. It went right through the middle, diagonal from northwest to southeast. When you went to where it came out to where it came in you could see right through the town.�
Power of the storm
Authorities sealed off Oakfield for about a week after the storm.
Novak�s sister lived in the village and she used a pass she was issued by emergency officials to pick up family members on the edge of town who helped with cleanup.
Novak, now 51, said Oakfield has recovered from the tornado, which did not take any lives. The only scar that remains is the absence of the city�s majestic oak trees, brought down by the powerful winds.
�When I got into town to really stand there, that�s when I realized what the power (of the storm) was,� Novak said. �Those were 100-something-year-old oak trees five- and six-feet in diameter, and those were pulled right out of the ground. There isn�t a machine made that can do that. That much power was packed into it.�
Still, there was beauty in the storm, he said.
�As far as a natural thing of Mother Nature, it was a beautiful sight,� Novak said. �It�s a catch-22, because it�s devastating what it leaves behind. It was a beautiful sight, but I don�t want to see one again like that. It�s hard to put into words what your emotions are.�
Novak narrates his video of the storm while he�s filming. He gets embarrassed now when he watches it and listens to some of the things he said.
�It was just the moment,� Novak said. �That�s another thing that makes it neat. When I listen to that. That�s the way it was, that�s the way it happened.
�You have to be really lucky to catch a storm like that (on camera). To have it happen in my front yard was pretty incredible.�
At that moment 17 years ago, Oakfield � nearly wiped off the map � became a part of twister history. No matter where Novak goes, he said people still associate Oakfield with its famous twister.
�Deep down inside me,� Novak said, �these are my friends and people I know. It�s not some town you see on the news. When I saw their houses... they were completely wiped out. When we found out there were no deaths we said, �Oh my God.� That made it easier.�

Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr laid out a path back to solvency for the City of Detroit on Friday morning in a proposed plan to creditors . Readers weighed in on the comment section of Freep.com.
Im cautiously optimistic on this one. Detroit keeps ownership of, and earnings from, the water department, but loses control (reasonable compromise). Note, those operating earnings are certain to fall once the suburbanites get a voice on costs. Bondholders and insurers dont get legally wiped out, they just dont get paid (tough compromise). The city gets to spend money on itself (sorely needed). The only sticking point is likely the retiree issue. They will put up a much deserved fight, because at 72 you dont have a lot of alternatives.
Damon Warren
Far more than the unions bankrupted this city. Just like the auto unions, management and government also had a role in the respective situations. All of us who abandoned the city over the past 50 years, and at the same time destroying southeast Michigan with urban sprawl, must also own up to some responsibility.
Joe Kish
A bold move in a new direction. Im not sure I agree with the plan as published, but at least the man sounds like he has a plan going forward. Far better than the City Councils perpetual stagnation. Good luck, Detroit.
John R. Grace
Good luck, Kevyn Orr. You have a very heavy stone to move. Lots of blame to go around waiting so many years to make the hard decisions. Maybe when its all said and done, in several years Detroit may again be a great, but much smaller city. I think they need a new charter with a mayor city manager setup.
Peter Kovacs
Very happy to see that Orr is talking about stopping payments to the other creditors to reinvest in Detroit to ensure basic services continue. Only way anyone will ever want to stay or move in.
Frank Houston
This is managed pre-bankuptcy outside the scope of a legal declaration. This is the consequences of economic intervention coming due after 45 years of failed leadership in Detroit. Orr pointed out that the current state in Detroit is unsustainable, and there is no way to raise revenue to fix the problem. Finally, someone has been honest with Detroiters and stated that they, along with bond holders and creditors, will see a dramatic change in city employment and investments. I believe that all parties will get a well needed haircut and a number of services will be privatized because the private sector can do them more efficiently for less money.
Jerome Richardson
Mr. Orr is doing a painful, thankless job that NO ONE in City Council would ever have the guts to do! He is trying to get the city back on track that years of corruption has destroyed. If it takes 10 years of painful cutting and realignment of government, then so be it. Ten years is little time considering how long the corruption has been going on.
The city cant afford anything at this point. Unions dont understand that. If there is no money, there are no benefits period! They should have initiated 401(k)s 30 years ago, dissolving pensions and half of the money troubles (if not more) would be gone.
John D. Di Ponio

Ominous clouds hang over Finneytown Wednesday, May 8, as a storm rolls in to the Cincinnati area.
- Filed Under
A series of pop-up thunderstorms dropped nearly an inch of rain and scattered pea-size hail in some communities Wednesday evening - but in other places, rain hardly fell at all, said Michael Kurz, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wilmington.
Kurz agrees that, at times, the clouds looked ominous. But the setting sun created more contrast and made the formations appear more dramatic, Kurz said, even though they brought "just your garden-variety, summer-type thunderstorms."
Late Wednesday afternoon and into the early evening on Wednesday, the Weather ...

KENTUCKY (12/9/13) - Preliminary statistics indicate that seven people died in six separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Dec. 2 through Sunday, Dec. 8.
One double-fatality motor vehicle crash occurred in Barren County. One of the vic-tims was not wearing a seat belt.
Two single-fatality motor vehicle crashes occurred in Jefferson County.
One single fatality motor vehicle crash occurred in each of the following counties: Estill, Marion and Russell. The victims in all three crashes were not wearing seat belts.
Through Dec. 8, preliminary statistics indicate that 598 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2013. This is 107 fewer than reported for this time period in 2012. Of the 463 motor vehicle fatalities, 232 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 72 motorcycle fatalities, 44 were not wearing a helmet. Ten of the 10 ATV fatalities were not wearing a helmet. Forty-nine pedestrians and three bicycle riders have been killed. One fatality involving an animal drawn vehi-cle has been reported. A total of 133 fatalities have resulted from crashes involv-ing the suspected use of alcohol. As of Dec. 8, Kentucky has had 74 days with zero highway fatalities reported during 2013.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Ken-tucky State Police toll-free at (800) 222-5555. Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

Months after winning his third pennant in as many minor league seasons, Springfield Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said Monday night that he plans to keep his messaging simple this year.
The hard part, he noted, will be deciding which motivational words to choose from - and post on the clubhouse bulletin board - within a batch spoken to minor leaguers every morning, called "Barry's Words of Wisdom."
That'd be Barry Weinberg, who for 13 seasons served as the St. Louis Cardinals' head athletic trainer and the past two years worked as the team's senior medical adviser. ...

Are you referring to guide info or the channel listing?
Posted 09 December 2012 - 04:25 AM
The on-screen guide was showing "parking wars" and "billy the exterminator" on A&E on one Hopper while the other Hopper listed "duck dynasty" in the same time frame(s).
Posted 09 December 2012 - 07:09 AM
Just a guess but forcing a reboot by pulling the plug on both might work.
Posted 09 December 2012 - 01:41 PM
The on-screen guide was showing "parking wars" and "billy the exterminator" on A&E on one Hopper while the other Hopper listed "duck dynasty" in the same time frame(s).
Which one was right? Reboot the other.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 01:36 AM
Rebooting both ultimately worked. My question though is still: when I see differences that begin later in the day, is there any way at that point which one is correct?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Most channels have their own web site. If the problem is only with A&E, go there.

Resource Sharing and Document Delivery in the Greater Midwest Region
Interlibrary loan and document delivery in the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) is accomplished through the DOCLINE System , the National Library of Medicine's automated interlibrary loan (ILL) request routing and referral system. DOCLINE links journal holdings to efficiently route the requests to potential lending libraries on behalf of the borrower. There are currently over 3,200 libraries from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico participating in DOCLINE. Check the DOCLINE Release Notes for additional information about the newest version of the system.
Serial Holdings
The serial holdings module of DOCLINE contain the holdings statements for biomedical serial titles held by U.S. members of the NLM-supported National Network of Libraries of Medicine as well as selected Canadian and Mexican libraries. These holdings statements are linked to NLM's authoritative bibliographic data in LocatorPlus. As of June 2006, the database includes over 1.5 million holdings statements for 54,577 serial titles from 3,017 health sciences libraries in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Only DOCLINE participants have access to the Serial Holdings via DOCLINE.
Electronic Fund Transfer System
The Electronic Fund Transfer System (EFTS) , operational since 1996 in New England, is a transaction-based electronic billing system for interlibrary-loan (ILL) and document delivery.
EFTS virtually eliminates the need to create invoices and write checks for reimbursement for interlibrary loans and document delivery between participants. Among the advantages are monthly detailed transaction based reports, the ability to handle variable charges and the ability to handle non-DOCLINE transactions. Check the EFTS Members Directory for libraries that particiapte in the program.This icon designates a link outside the NN/LM GMR Web site and indicates a non-GMR hosted resource.

National Signing Day is almost here and recruits across the country are gearing up for plenty of last-minute pitches and school visits as head coaches look to shape their program for years to come. For a snapshot of the Non-BCS recruiting scene, we will take a close look at independents Notre Dame and BYU, as well as the five schools headed to the Big East in 2013: Boise State, Houston, San Diego State, SMU, and UCF.
|MaxPreps.com Top 25 Team Rankings, Non-BCS
|Top 100
|14. Notre Dame
|Search Recruits | Complete Top 25 Rankings
Top storylines
1. How quickly will Gunner Kiel see the field at Notre Dame?
One of the storylines of Gunner Kiel's recruitment was the star quarterback's inability to make up his mind. Some have suggested that playing time is a big concern for Kiel, and there is no guarantee on when he may take the starting position. The first-string quarterback spot is there for the taking, but head coach Brian Kelly has already shown a happy trigger finger when it comes to switching signal-callers. How is Kiel, who seemed to be always eyeing greener grass, going take it if and/or when he is sent to the pine.
2. Will there be an effect from the assistant coach changeover at Boise State?
2012 kicked off with Chris Petersen losing two valuable members of his coaching staff to BCS schools. Will Muschamp tapped offensive coordinator Brent Pease to join his staff in Florida, then special teams coach Jeff Choate left to join Mike Leach's staff at Washington State just a week later. Both coaches played a big role in recruiting the 2012 class, and there was some concern that the staff shakeup could have an effect in recruiting. A firm commitment from QB Nick Patti after Pease's move to Florida was a good sign for Boise State. This class still stacks up well against previous groups, but you wonder if/when we will start seeing an on-field effect of this assistant exodus.
3. Schools on the move
Navy recently added themselves to the group of schools headed towards the Big East, leaving Army, BYU, and Notre Dame as the last FBS independents after 2015. The Black Knights have been fairly grounded in their independent status, but both the Irish and Cougars have flirted with the notions of joining one of the power conferences. In announcing their move to the Big East, Navy school officials mentioned the scheduling difficulties associated with being an independent. As more schools hold future dates for conference play, it had become increasingly difficult to assemble a competitive schedule without that built-in slate of opponents. If the Big 12 comes calling again to BYU, Navy's move might have the Cougars reconsidering their options.
Assistant recruiters of note:
Bob Diaco and Mike Denbrock, Notre Dame
Sean Beckton, UCF
Carlton Hall, Houston
Tony White, San Diego State

|QB Nick Patti

|The Broncos have been able to hold on to most of their prized prospects, despite the changeover of assistants. CB Anthony Standifer is still on the radar, and could strengthen the secondary for the Class of 2012.

WR Deontay Greenberry
|It was already a nationally ranked class, and then Kiel flipped from LSU to make it one of the best in the land. Lots of talent at the skill positions and at 6-foot-6, 295 pounds; Jones is one of the most impressive linemen in the class.

|DB Kendrick Mathis
OL Kwayde Miller
OL Austin Maass
|It's a good thing the Aztecs are welcoming some new transfers, because head coach Rocky Long's class is looking a little thin compared to last year's class. Mathis is a dynamic in-state prospect (Ventura, CA), who also spent time playing quarterback in high school.

Ken Norton on Cushing, Matthews, Maualuga
Keep in mind I think the guys USC will put on the field this year (Malcolm Smith, Chris Galippo, Michael Morgan) might end up being better players than this group, at the college level. Via the Orange County Register's USC Blog:
Cushing: "Tough guy, and he wants to prove it to you every time. Heart. The definition of hard work, and he's going to carry that flag. Captain, rah-rah guy. He'll be an extremely good pro because he's going to be your tough guy, he'll play hard, he's a complete ballplayer, you're not going to outwork him and you're not going to out-tough him."
Matthews: 'Tremendous athlete. Never satisfied. Carries a huge chip on his shoulder. Has a mean streak about him. He's never happy with himself. He's the biggest critic of himself. He's always trying to show people how good he is."
Maualuga: "Spectacular. The guy who will knock you out. He's the Mike Tyson of the group. He's going to intimidate you. He's gong to come in throwing haymakers."
