An independent arbiter would have final say over a $500,000 escrow account pertaining to the Bellaire Bridge demolition under the most recent proposal offered by Benwood officials.
City leaders, though, say they still have yet to hear back from the bridge's owners about whether they will agree to the deal.
The owners - Krystal Chaklos of KDC Investments and Lee Chaklos of Delta Demolition - had objected to an original agreement passed by Benwood City Council in which only Benwood's name was on the escrow account. The city had requested the Chakloses place $500,000 in escrow to ensure completion of the bridge demolition once the project begins, and the Chakloses have wanted their name on the account.
Council next passed an amended agreement in which the name of Weirton attorney Dan Guida would be placed alongside Benwood's on the escrow account as an independent third party. Benwood leaders now are offering the Chakloses an agreement in which only Guida's name would be on the escrow account.
Benwood officials have yet to hear back from the owners since the original agreement was passed by council in mid-October.
Jeremy Domozick, attorney for KDC Investments and Delta Demolition, did not return calls seeking comment Wednesday.
"We're pretty much where we were," said Benwood Police Chief Frank Longwell. "There has been a deal struck with Guida to administer the fund. ... It's what they (the Chakloses) requested and what they agreed on. But we haven't heard back.
"Essentially, the deal says if there is a problem (with completion of the bridge demolition), he (Guida) would be an independent arbitrator."
Under terms of the agreement, if KDC and Delta Demolition were to fail to complete bridge demolition and leave the project, they would forfeit the $500,000 in escrow and also the rights to all remaining metal. The money from the sale of the metal, along with the escrow, would then be used to pay another contractor to demolish what remains of the bridge.
If KDC and Delta Demolition complete the project, the $500,000 would be returned to them with interest.

Bach used the Deceptive Cadence as early as his Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582, which dates to the early 18th century. Are there earlier uses? A definitive answer may be impossible, but I am interested in how far back its usage can be traced.
The earliest two references I can find of what are now known as deceptive cadences originate with Josquin des Prez's Missa Una musque de Buscaya (listed without a date on Wikipedia, which only fleetingly mentions it under a different spelling, suggesting that his authorship is doubtful) and Francesco Spinacino's arrangement of Fortuna dun gran tempo. I was not able to find particular dates for either of these works, but based on the known dates of their authors, this places deceptive cadences at least as far back as the early 1520s, if not as far back as the late 15th century.
The article I found these in itself unfortunately requires access to JSTOR, but below are the two relevant parts of the article.

U.S. lawyers are increasingly engaging international human rights law and strategies in their domestic social justice advocacy efforts. A strength of the human rights framework is its ability to address the intersection of economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights. Yet pursuit of economic and social rights presents special challenges in the U.S. legal context. This symposium explores strategies for advancing economic and social rights advocacy in the United States, focusing in particular on the right to housing. Participants will examine legal developments pertaining to the right to housing and related rights, both internationally and in the U.S. And, drawing on international human rights, participants will explore promising approaches to establishing the right to housing in U.S. courts and through other advocacy efforts.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
The Wisconsin in Scotland (WIS) program offers a limited number of unpaid internships for students accepted for the fall or spring semesters. A Resident Director of Academics works closely with you to find an internship experience that suits your needs and talents, however, applicants should realize that the location and work involved with these internships can not be guaranteed at the time of application. Internships can be obtained for a maximum of six credits. Students will be required to carry additional credits to maintain their status as full time students. The internship program will be jointly administered by the Resident Director of the Academic Program in Scotland, the WIS Administrative Office at UW-River Falls, and the Office of International Education/Programs on the student's home campus. Below are guidelines for students who wish to apply for an internship in Scotland.
Note: UK immigration law requires foreign students who will be pursuing any type of work experience/internship (paid or unpaid) to secure a student visa. A visa is an endorsement or stamp placed by officials of a foreign country on a U.S. passport that makes it possible for the bearer to visit that country. If you are planning to participate in the internship program, it is your responsibility to secure a student visa from a British Consulate in the United States prior to the start of the program. Securing a visa can be a lengthy process; therefore, it is recommended that you begin the process early as it can take time to gather the required documentation. As visa requirements and application procedures can change rapidly, you are encouraged to read the UK Border Agency guidance regarding Tier IV Adult Student Visas at following website: Guidance on application for UK visa as Tier 4 student
Students applying for a Tier IV visa from the UK government will require a sponsor letter from the Wisconsin in Scotland program. Several weeks prior to the program start date, you will receive your sponsor letter signed by the Resident Director of Operations. This letter will assist you in completing your visa application and needs to be sent along with your visa application.
You need to follow the application instructions very closely and provide all requested documents. It is important to note that you need to show your ability to maintain yourself financially for the period of time you will be in Scotland. The UK Border Agency requires funds to be in your account or your parents' account for at least 28 days prior to your application. If you are taking out loans, you need to get official letters confirming those funds.
For additional information regarding the visa application process, click visa. To complete the Tier IV online application, click here (students from the US are only allowed to apply for visas online). If you would like to review the questions on the application forms prior to completion of the online application, click form and then self-assessment for the second form.

Missed Opportunity
Earlier this month, the United Nations committee that monitors compliance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child issued a stinging report criticizing the Vatican for its handling of the sexual-abuse crisis. The committee accused the Holy See of "systematically" placing the reputation of the church ahead of the welfare of children, and adopting "policies and practices which have led to the continuation of the abuse by, and the impunity of, the perpetrators." In addition the report made several important recommendations the Holy See would do well to heed. But the UN committee weakened its case by weighing in on doctrinal matters unrelated to abuse. The committee's scattershot approach has united critics across the ideological spectrum in criticizing the report as counterproductive, if not worse.
The committee's first mistake is that it treats the Holy See like any other signer of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which contains fifty-four articles covering a range of issues. Wherever the committee sees that a signer is failing to abide by the convention, it makes recommendations to bring them into compliance. For example, the report recommends that the church provide "family planning, reproductive health, as well as adequate counselling and social support, to prevent unplanned pregnancies." And it asks the church to review canon law "with a view to identifying circumstances under which access to abortion services can be permitted." Even though the committee refers to the Holy See's "special nature," it seems not to grasp that Catholic canon law is not just an administrative tool; it is informed by deeply held religious beliefs. In some cases, changing canon laws would require changing Catholic doctrine, a fact the UN seems not to appreciate.
It's strange enough for a UN committee to make doctrinal recommendations to a religious organization. But it's even more puzzling that the committee seems to forget that the Vatican has never hidden its objections to certain aspects of the convention. When the Holy See signed the treaty in 1989, it stated its reservations about provisions that don't conform to Catholic teaching. The Holy See explicitly warned that the only family planning it would promote was natural family planning. Several other signatories registered similar reservations—including Islamic countries that promised to ignore parts of the treaty they deemed contradictory to Sharia law.
Even when the committee offers sound suggestions, it shows little interest in context. The report asks the Vatican to establish "clear rules, mechanisms and procedures for the mandatory reporting of all suspected cases of child sexual abuse and exploitation to law enforcement authorities." That's a good idea. But the UN committee fails to acknowledge that not all countries have trustworthy law-enforcement agencies. That's one reason some dioceses—in Africa, for example—have not implemented mandatory-reporting rules. Shouldn't a UN committee show some awareness of that?
Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi, SJ, has highlighted the committee's misunderstanding of the "specific nature of the Holy See." He complained that the report failed to acknowledge the Vatican's ongoing efforts to address the sexual-abuse scandal. "Few other organizations or institutions, if any, have done as much," Lombardi wrote. In fact, the UN committee does "welcome" some of the those efforts—including the Holy See's new Commission for the Protection of Minors and changes to Vatican City State law regarding the abuse of minors. And while Lombardi is correct in noting that the Catholic Church has lately gone to great lengths to address the crime of sexual abuse, Rome didn't lead the charge. Bishops were shamed into action by victims of abuse and by the media.
The generally moderate tone of Lombardi's response is to be welcomed, but it was a mistake for him to suggest that the report's shortcomings are proof of anti-Catholic bias. Historically, that charge has too often been used by Rome to dismiss the gravity of the sexual-abuse crisis. Despite its flaws, the UN report contains legitimate criticisms that the Vatican needs to hear.
The sexual-abuse crisis is far from over. Pope Francis still hasn't named the members of the sexual-abuse commission he created in December. With the Italian bishops recently refusing to adopt mandatory-reporting rules for their clergy, and some U.S. bishops still mishandling abuse claims with impunity, the pope's commission has its work cut out for it. The UN report could have helped by reminding the entire church that reform is still needed. Because of the report's obtuse recommendations concerning church doctrine, however, it is likely to strengthen the hand of those who think the sexual-abuse crisis has been overblown by enemies of the church. These hardliners are still looking for an excuse to keep things exactly as they are. The UN report's lack of focus has unintentionally given them one.

Thank you for this editorial, from which the Church's PR machine could well learn.
I cannot help but think that the bishops' root problem is a lack of empathy with the victims. The analog of a defective product comes to mind. If I hear in the media about defective baby formula in China, I feel a twinge of sadness; but I don't know the victims and I certainly don't associate myslef directly with the dead infant or their poverty-stricken parents. This appears in some ways to be their lot in life and I have some vague reassurance that the appropriate international body will wag its finger in the proper direction.
The bishops, sadly still, are responding with the glacial speed more appropriately oriented to theological discussions. They act like the CEOs (of the old school), who ignore and then paper-over product defects. And make no mistake, this is a significant product defect with which we are living.
Rather, they should read a business school case study about the Tylenol scare some decades ago. In that case, managers were rewarded for removing the defective product as quickly as possible. The customers came first; and the managers who didn't understand that imperative in the culture of the organization were soon gone. In the end, the brand was reinforced and grew unconstrained by suspicion.
My church appears to be in denial and paper-over mode. My divisional CEOs always have a reason for delay and deflect. I can only be left to assume that they aren't truly connected to their customers.
These defective products need to get off the shelf before another customer is destroyed for life, or the culture should demand that the offending manager be removed with great shame. Otherwise, the culture will continue to wither at an alarming rate.
Thank you for this balamced critique of the UN panels report and the Vatican's response. Indeed, by grossly getting off the critical subject of child sex abuse the UN report diminished its impact. Fr. Lombardi's response seemed measured and did not close any doors for future cooperation of the Vatican and the UN in addressing the issue of child abuse not only within the Church but throughout the world. It also rightly admonished the UN that religious doctrine is not within its mandate or purview. I believe the full response of the Vatican to the report, which is due "within weeks," will provide more details on what further steps the Vatican may be taking to help protect children throughout the Church, as well as, I hope, an even stronger defense of the Church's religious freedom to not be pressured by secular institutions to change doctrine. I eagerly await their full response.
No matter what one thinks of the UN Commission Report the Vatcan can be grateful Jesus was not on the Commission. He is quoted as sayig that anyone who causes scandal to children should have a millstone tied around his neck and dropped into the sea. I think child rape or other foms of sexual exploitation of chidren qualifiy as a cause for scandal
As you mention, althugh this report is a mess, it remains for Pope Francis to follow through in some radical ways in reforms. Accepting tthe retirement of Bp. Finn and others must be be a start. His credibility in "The Joy of the Gospel" nd in genral depends upon a successful implementation of radical reforms.
The general tone of the UN report is discriminatory and biased against Catholics, and, make no mistake, discrimination against the Catholic Church and Catholics themselves is spreading with impunity. The media, which decries a laundry list of civil rights violations, looks the other way when Catholics are discriminated against,and in fact participates in it. This is because the Catholic Church is immutable in its support of the right to life from conception to natural death, in it's support of traditional marriage, in it's support for the tradtional family.
Catholics are being sacrificed to the God of political correctness, and Commonweal is complicit when it uses euphemisms, such as "lack of focus," to describe the UN report's attack on the Church. It's not at all a "lack of focus." It's deliberate discrimination borne of an intense dislike of anything Catholic.
The sexual abuse of children by anyone is heinous, but it was not brought on by Catholicism; it is the product of the culture of the 20th century, the culture that reared its ugly head to attack the sacredness of marriage as a lifetime committment between one man and one woman and the right to life of the unborn. The Catholic Church has done more than any other organization or institution to eradicate this filth, and I'm glad of that, because the Church is the most important place to safeguard.
The UN need not go after the Church; instead it needs to root out and expose the source of its anti-Catholicism. The UN needs to clean its own house.
"The generally moderate tone of Lombardi's response is to be welcomed, but it was a mistake for him to suggest that the report's shortcomings are proof of anti-Catholic bias. Historically, that charge has too often been used by Rome to dismiss the gravity of the sexual-abuse crisis. Despite its flaws, the UN report contains legitimate criticisms that the Vatican needs to hear."
As a physician who has met many who have been sexually abused by priests, I appreciate that the editors of Commonweal Magazine realize that clergy sexual abuse is a serious problem around the world, especially in developing countries, where people have no voice.
As a Catholic, I am sad that even Pope Francis is not following the command of Jesus to protect the innocence of children. Instead, Pope Francis is protecting his Archbishop Wesolowski from facing charges of sexually abusing young boys in Poland and in the Dominican Republic, where he was the papal nuncio.
The pope has shown NO CARE for the young boys who have been sexually abused. The pope says that his archbishop will be investigated in the Vatican. How wrong-headed is that? Police, not the church, need to investigate crimes and criminals.
The pope and church must become accountable to international and civil law. The pope cannot be allowed to investigate his own crimes and criminals. He can no longer be allowed to be his own law.
Repeatedly, the church has abused its authority, as it has protected the sexual predator clergy and ignored/re-victimized the victims. There must be an end to the state status of the church. It is only a religion and does not deserve diplomatic immunity, especially when that claim to having diplomatic immunity is made to escape the law that is meant to protect children from sexual abuse.
The pope and hierarchy have to give all files on clergy sexual abuse in the Vatican and elsewhere to legal and law enforcement officials for investigation and prosecution. Only then will I believe that the church has regained some integrity and credibility.
Sincerely, Dr Rosemary Eileen McHugh, M.D., Chicago
The use of the biblical passage referencing "better for him if a milllstone be put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea" as a guide for the Church's dealing with priests accused of sex offenses with minors requires a highly selective reading of scripture. That passage at Luke 17:2 immediately precedes the following admonition of Christ to his disciples at Luke 17:3,4: "Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, "I am sorry,' you should forgive him.
The approach of the Italian bishops refraning from reporting "all suspected cases" of accusations against clergy to civil prosecutors is in sharp contarct to American bishops who have become willing participants in an American penal system that features: draconiajn mandatory penalties for anyone convicted os such offenses; the daunting risks for an accused of a not-guilty plea when that plea will be considered an aggravating factor in any subsequent sentencing decision; the near impossibility of selecting an impartial American jury untainted by the unrelenting media coverage of clergy sex oaccusations where the presumption of innocense is never mentioned; the likelihood of a decades long sentence to incarceration which will be served in isolation from the general prison population due to the substantial risk of death at the hands of a fellow inmate as was inflicted on John Geoghan; and, in the minority of cases where a priest survives his sentence, the likelihood that the remainder of his life will be spent as a social pariah, honeless, living under a highway overpass or worse due to residence restrictions on registered sex offenders.
I suppose it will be for the Vatican to decide whether the Italian or American approach is more in keeping with the teachings of Christ.

Raskolnikov Testifies on Derivatives Tax Reform
Professor Alex Raskolnikov testified recently before a joint congressional hearing on tax reform and the tax treatment of financial products such as derivatives. Raskolnikov told assembled legislators and media that taxing financial derivatives in an efficient and effective manner is impossible without comprehensive tax reform. "Derivatives have been used to game every aspect of our tax system," Raskolnikov added. "The taxation of financial instruments is in dire need of reform." Senator Carl Levin asked Raskolnikov about the impact of simply plugging loopholes. "[Y]ou have been plugging loopholes already, and even for those that worked, people found new loopholes," Raskolnikov replied.

Alcohol use on college campuses is not a new problem; it has been documented in the United States
for at least 50 years. However, recent concerns have centered on heavy episodic drinking, a
potentially dangerous practice often termed "binge drinking," and usually defined as consuming
five drinks or more in a row for men and four drinks or more in a row for women. According to this
definition, about two out of five college students have engaged in binge drinking in the past 2
weeks. An additional two out of five college students drink—but not to excess—while one in five
does not use alcohol at all.
In recognition of the serious and sometimes fatal consequences of alcohol consumption among
college students, the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National
Institutes of Health, established two panels of nongovernment experts to help the Institute
develop a national research agenda to better address the problem. The panels included college
presidents and administrators, well-known alcohol researchers, and students. The two panels are
Contexts and Consequences (Panel 1) and Prevention and Treatment (Panel 2).
This report represents the work of the Panel on Contexts and Consequences and is based on 12
commissioned, peer-reviewed papers by experts in the field and extensive discussion among panel
members and the authors of the papers. It focuses on what is known about drinking in college and
its consequences and on gaps in knowledge that need further study. The report also places a
special emphasis on heavy drinking, including binge drinking, because of its potentially serious
Because colleges vary widely in their drinking rates, it would be inaccurate to characterize all
colleges as having an equally urgent drinking problem. But among college students who do drink
heavily, the problem is serious: the two out of five students who engage in binge drinking risk a
wide range of alcohol-related consequences, including grave injuries and death.
The Panel found that on many college campuses, heavy drinking is interwoven overtly or subtly
throughout the culture of the institution. As a result, students perceive this drinking pattern as
the social norm rather than as unhealthy and potentially destructive behavior. Research
consistently shows that there is no one cause of excessive alcohol use by college students, and
the Panel thought that it would be naive and misleading to adopt a simplistic view of, or approach
to, this problem.
College student drinking is the product of many factors working together. Among them are:
Developmental processes: Drinking problems among college students are also closely tied to
developmental processes. Binge drinking rates are lower at younger ages, increase in later
adolescence, and drop off in the mid-twenties.
The college years are a time of transition, involving challenges and changes in identity, social
relationships, and living arrangements. However, these transitions also affect noncollege peers,
suggesting that what is often interpreted as a campus-based problem may be attributable, in part,
to the broader social and biological processes that characterize late adolescence and early
adulthood in general. Factors such as greater personal freedom and independence, greater
involvement in social and dating relationships, and freedom from the responsibilities of marriage
and family life appear to be intricately linked to greater alcohol involvement.
Elevated drinking levels: College drinking occurs at a stage in life when drinking levels
are generally elevated. The age period from 19 to 24 is associated with the highest prevalence of
periodic heavy alcohol consumption during the life span (Johnston et al., 2001b). Although, on
average, college students may drink on fewer occasions than their noncollegiate peers, they drink
heavily (e.g., five or more drinks in a sitting) on a more frequent basis than nonstudents,
placing them at especially high risk for the consequences of heavy consumption.
Preexisting drinking problems: Because colleges and universities are the social
institutions that help many youth make the transition from adolescence to adulthood, they often
become the playing field on which the developmental problems of this life stage, including alcohol
misuse, unfold. Panel members pointed out that the drinking patterns of some college students
represent the continuation of behavior that began during high school or even earlier. When these
problems emerge at age 18 or 19, they are labeled "college problems," although they may actually
be "high school" or "middle school problems." Viewed from this perspective, while the college
experience may serve to "identify" or, in some cases, amplify excessive drinking, it does not
necessarily cause it.
Aspects of campus life supporting drinking: Research does, however, suggest that there are
aspects of certain college environments that may support or facilitate drinking among students.
These factors include commingling of students under the legal drinking age of 21 with those who
can drink legally, substantial amounts of unstructured time, and student-oriented alcohol
College student drinkers: Research shows that:
College students vary greatly in their use of alcohol and their beliefs about its positive and
negative effects. Studies show that two major drinking patterns appear dominant among college
students: (1) drinking related to impulsivity, disinhibition, and sensation-seeking; and (2)
drinking to manage negative emotional states, such as depression.
The negative consequences of excessive drinking can be severe for both those college students who
drink and those around them.
Personal consequences: Students who drink heavily may experience a range of personal
consequences that include missing class, academic difficulties, dropping out of school, problems
with friends, health problems, and unprotected or unwanted sex. Excessive use of alcohol can also
increase the likelihood that students will engage in high-risk sex, behave aggressively, or
perpetrate or experience sexual assault. These consequences are highlighted because they can have
severe, long-term repercussions including contracting a sexually transmitted disease, becoming
pregnant unintentionally, developing an arrest record, or living with the emotional devastation
caused by rape.
Research clearly demonstrates that heavy alcohol use by college students is associated with
high-risk sexual behavior. Alcohol impairs information processing and reasoning and
heightens the salience of simple cues to action (such as sexual arousal) while blunting the more
distal consequences of behavior (such as the risk of HIV infection). Students who drink
excessively are two to three times more likely to have had multiple sexual partners in the past
month than those who drink responsibly. Similarly, drinking on a first date is associated with a
twofold to threefold increase in the probability of having sex on that date.
Data also show that alcohol and physical and sexual aggression are linked.
Aggressive college students tend to drink more, but it may also be that heavier use increases the
likelihood of aggression. At least 50 percent of college student sexual assaults are associated
with alcohol use. Typically, both parties in such situations have been drinking when the sexual
assault occurs. Alcohol-related sexual assault is underreported, primarily because of the
misplaced shame and stigma that surround this violent and personal crime.
In addition, approximately one in three 18- to 24-year-olds admitted to emergency rooms for
serious injuries is intoxicated. Heavy alcohol use is also associated with homicides,
suicides, and drownings.
The link between excessive alcohol consumption and unsafe driving is well known. About one-half
of all fatal traffic crashes among those aged 18 to 24 involve alcohol; many of
those killed in this age group are college students. Alcohol can slow a driver's reaction time,
affect concentration, interfere with steering, and impair response to pedestrians and traffic
signs and signals.
Secondhand effects: Noise and property damage, vomit, and unsightly litter are common
byproducts of a night of binge drinking on campus. Some researchers term these consequences
"secondhand effects," because they are similar to the secondhand smoke from tobacco use (Wechsler
et al., 1998). More than one-half of college administrators from schools with high levels of
excessive drinking report problems with vandalism and property damage. In addition, students who
drink excessively are more likely to physically or sexually assault other students.

How awesome that must have been!
So beautiful, I can't explain my feeling here in words. Thanks a ton Steffen.
çok guzel
Beautiful photo. One time, about 20 years ago, I was visiting friends in Alabama. It was so hot and we were sitting outside. And there was one lone bush in the distance with the leaves shaking furiously. But, there was no breeze. Suddenly, all the leaves took flight. They were butterflies. A bush of butterflies. Never saw anything like that before. I just recently saw "two" butterflies in my parent's neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. Until then, I hadn't seen butterflies for many years now. They were so prevalent some 30 years ago. Chemical spraying must have killed them off. But, now they're back. Thank goodness.
Todas com COCa in the mind
Nice! Good. Excellent. What else can I say?
Wow. Stunning photo!
magnificient. you are so lucky to get a view like that!!
lovely !!
looks likes falling leaves at first glance :)
Unbelievably wonderful and surreal that there could be that many butterflies in one area! Perfectly beautiful and amazing shot of a butterfly wonderland!
It's really Magical, amuzing like heaven.
Beautiful! When you look closely there is a butterfly at every possible angle but they look like leaves in a tornado.
A wonder of nature surely and you were fortunate enough to be there! Wow. Super timing and such a composition. Love this. Thanks for sharing and the light is wonderful and presentation so cool. Cheers and congrats.
Glad to tell you how wonderful experience is to be there, even i saw this phenomenon few times in the city of Tarija, occurs for one day only but not every year. Anyway you must to live this experience even if is just for one day ;)
Any tifosi around?
Woah! I wouldn't want to walk through that, nevermind driving, for fear of killing the butterflies.
A really great picture. Looks so peaceful. Were there any sounds made by the butterflies? Do they even make noise?
What a joyous and hopeful image, thanks so much for taking the picture and sharing it with the world!
Beautiful images like this help us forget momentarily that this is the same planet where planes get shot down and innocent people die everyday for no rhyme or reason...
Thanks for running this picture! It takes me back to the moment I took it! Valle de TUcabaca, an incredible place in eastern Bolivia close to Santiago de Chiquitos!
I just want to ask:
what happens if you actually drive through the mist of butterflies?
I mean, they won't get seriously hurt, would they?
What an amazing sight!
Just beautiful,breathtaking, and hard to imagine. A stunning picture that for me to wake up to, is to say, thank you, Steffen. You waited 11 years for this shot, and we have it in all its beauty at our fingertips, in minutes. j.e.s...........
I experienced this on a small scale in France (County Lot) on the Dodoigne River. Its uplifting and (poetic licence here) makes you feel that you are being gently "kissed" by nature.Wonderful
Feels like heaven. I saw butterflies migrating once at 8600 feet in Colorado. There was still snow on the ground and there were thousands of them everywhere. I believe they were monarchs because they were orange and black but I am not sure. This was after a long winter of being snow bound for 5 months. I don't believe I could have captured it on film the way you do but I have always wished to see it again.
Schön aber ohne PS?
Gerçek bir Kelebek Konfetisi :)
Really superb caprture
Drops of sunshine! Beautiful...
Magical! It's like the tree foliage has become animate, detached, and capable of flight.
@Rose Chuang You have to drive very slowly and nothing will happen to them :-)
@Jan Xu Kein PS - alles natuerlich :-)

Recent advancements in medicine
byDoctor Jason Creel
GWINNETT - Recent advancements in medicine have been very exciting. In all medical specialties there have been innovative developments to more precisely and effectively treat diseases. Once considered a very risky procedure, cardiologists now place coronary artery stents to prevent heart attacks routinely. Thanks to advancements in auto-immune suppression medications and surgical techniques, organ transplants continue to become more commonplace with significantly better outcomes. Across the nation thousands of lives are spared each day in fully functional dialysis centers.
Until then, your prescription for the week is: When going shopping park toward the back of the lot. While getting some exercise walking to the door, take a few deep breaths and look around for someone to smile at.

Reliable Binders For Twin I-Beam Fords - Fast BrakeWritten by on June 29, 2012
There's really no excuse to be driving around on today's highways with 40-plus-year-old drum brakes. I'm sure the design worked fine driving around on the farm or around town at 35 mph, but the majority of our driving duties have changed over the years, as have those around us. In the mid '60s, most of the cars on the road had drum brakes still and drivers drove their cars accordingly. Today, with most cars featuring advanced braking and suspension designs of some sort, to be the only vehicle on the road with antiquated braking has you at a significant disadvantage.
So then why do it? There are a number of excuses one can come up with when it comes to why they haven't made the upgrade and you're likely to hear a comment or two of how "it worked fine back then," but things change. We don't shoot rolls of film and type out these stories on typewriters even though that probably worked fine back then, too. Hop on any highway across the country and if you're not maintaining the minimum speed limit, you're likely to get run over by an 18-wheeler. Our trucks need to keep up with the changing environment just like everything else. And one of those changes comes by way of upgrades to the suspension and braking system. Safety should be at the forefront of the upgrades that we make. Brakes that fade during heavy use, are susceptible to failure in wet conditions, and have a tendency to pull, lock up, or otherwise react unreliably should be replaced before any aesthetic modifications are made.
And so, that was the logic when I contacted the gang over at LMC Truck to talk about brake upgrades for '69 Ford trucks. Our buddy Danny Valenzuela's been driving his '69 Ford F-100 across the Los Angeles basin for the past year or so commuting to work, running errands, and picking up his daughter from school. We got to talking about some of the upgrades he wanted to make to his pickup and we both decided that the brakes should be the first on that list. With LMC Truck's kit in hand, we got Danny to swing the '69 by the shop so we could bring it up to speed.
The install went together pretty smoothly, but there are a few things that should be pointed out that I didn't take into consideration beforehand. One, assume that the axles are going to need to be removed from the truck to press out the kingpins. Doing so requires, for all intents and purposes, the removal of the entire front suspension. Take the time and replace all the bushings while you've got these things disassembled. I didn't and wish I had, although the truck will be getting lowered at some point in time, so we'll be revisiting the components sooner than later. Two, check out the steering components as well so that you can replace those while you're at it. Worn tie rods, whether on the center link, drag link, or the inner tie rod, should be replaced; now is the time. Lastly, if you're truck is as greasy and grimy as Danny's, do yourself a favor and hit it with some degreaser and a pressure washer, you'll be thanking yourself later.
While the Ford twin I-beam design with its kingpins does involve a bit of extra labor when compared to a similar brake swap on a Chevy truck, we had the truck up and running, bled and all, in two days' time. That makes for a perfect weekend upgrade to that daily driver you've been putting off.
Since Danny had been driving the truck around for as long as he had, I assumed that the drum brakes must be working better than I would expect. I was nervously amused, however, when I stepped on the brake approaching the street from the parking lot and didn't feel that sudden deceleration that one expects when said pedal is applied. Instead, I kept on rolling toward the street, directly in the path of an oncoming vehicle. A quick, anxious jab of the brake pedal got the truck stopped, however, and I laughed out loud, quickly reminding myself that I was driving a 4,000-pound truck with drum brakes that I wasn't used to.
Since completing the upgrade, I asked Danny how the truck handles, then and now.
"Before when I would hit the brakes on the freeway, I would never know which direction it would decide to head as one brake overpowered the other. It was a constant struggle to keep the truck heading in straight line. Now, you simply mash the brake pedal and it comes to a swift, straight stop. A light amount of pressure on the pedal is all it takes to keep it from creeping at a stop sign as well, so that's a great improvement to my daily commute."
Nothing beats a little personal testimonial, eh?! CCT

A new dual master cylinder is necessary when swapping from a fourwheel drum brake system to facilitate the higher pressures required from a disc brake application. For our setup, we'll be using a manual, non-boosted master cylinder.A proportioning valve is also necessary to maintain proper front to rear brake bias when using disc brakes up front and drum brakes out back. This controls the line pressure between the front and rear brakes to prevent premature rear wheel lockup.The stock drum brake, though fairly beefy with its self-energizing 11x2-inch brake shoes, has a number of drawbacks. Bad wet-weather performance, susceptibility for brake fade under heavy braking, and unreliable stopping power all make a drumbrake system a good candidate for an upgrade to discs.Of course, the first step in upgrading from drums to discs is to remove the drum brake components themselves. Starting with the spindle nut, first the drum is removed, followed by the four fasteners that attach the backing plate to the spindle. The steering arm attaches to the spindle using the lower two backing-plate fasteners so this can be disconnected at this time as well.Next, we'll work on removing the kingpins which hold the spindle to each axle. First the dust caps are removed……followed by the locking bolt. The locking bolt serves two purposes. One is to keep the kingpin from falling out the bottom of the axle boss.The second is to ensure that the spindles rotate around the kingpin while it remains affixed to the axle.Some kingpins can be removed using a hammer and a drift while still bolted up to the chassis. However, most will need to be removed from the truck and pressed out using a hydraulic press. This is one of those Ford vs. Chevy battles that Chevy definitely wins as the process of removing each axle to press out the kingpins adds a bit of unnecessary labor to the overall task.Some kingpins can be removed using a hammer and a drift while still bolted up to the chassis.

This is one of those Ford vs. Chevy battles that Chevy definitely wins as the process of removing each axle to press out the kingpins adds a bit of unnecessary labor to the overall task.Installing the new kingpins is much easier than removing the old ones. Using light pressure, a drift is used to drive it through the axle and lower spindle boss. Be sure to align the keyway with the hole in the axle for the locking bolt. At this point, excess kingpin wear on the axle should be checked by rocking the spindle back and forth. If the kingpin is loose in the axle, the axle may need to be machined or replaced.Next the locking bolt is installed and tightened. Note that the "knurled" side faces the kingpin. The locking bolt is tapered so as to lock itself against the kingpin and the axle.The upper and lower dust caps and zerk fittings are then installed on the spindle, followed by the brake hose. At this point, the axle and spindle assembly has been installed back on the truck.Greasing the zerk fittings is one of the last things that needs to be done to the suspension components.At this point, the suspension components are wrapped up and we're ready to install the master cylinder and bleed the brakes.Before we do so however, the master cylinder must be bench bled. This is as easily done bolted to the firewall or clamped in a vise on a workbench. Fluid is cycled through the master cylinder until all the air in the master cylinder is removed from the system. Then it's time to hook up the brake lines and bleed the rest of the brake components.One thing worth mentioning is the fact that the stock brake lines are flipped on the original master as opposed to the new LMC master. In stock guise, the front brake line mated to the back port on the master and the rear, the front. The larger chamber was to provide more braking power to the front drum brakes, responsible for approximately 70 percent of the braking duty.

Anxiety rules Annemarie Zimmer's days - the fear that her relationship with the man she loves is growing stagnant; the fear that equestrian daughter Eva's dreams of Olympic glory will carry her far away from her mother . . . and into harm's way. For five months, Annemarie has struggled to make peace with her past. But if she cannot let go, the personal battles she has won and the heights she has achieved will have all been for naught.
It is a time of change at Maple Brook horse farm, when loves must be confronted head-on and fears must be saddled and broken. But it is an unanticipated tragedy that will most drastically alter the fragile world of one remarkable family even as it flings open gates that have long confined them, enabling them all to finally ride headlong and free.

"Dreadful narration! Don't bother downloading!"
I listened to Sara's first book and the narration was quite good, albeit annoying at times with the aggressive tone. However, this book's narrator doesn't even pronounce the names correctly and her tone is irritatingly Polyanna. I finally gave up and downloaded the written version. Don't waste your money on this one!
"Great book!"
Enjoyed it and will listen again, to both this one as well as the first! Great story and good narrator.
I am a retired Court Reporter and I LOVE books. All kinds of books but my favorites are mysteries and period books. I like civil war books and some biographies.
"Horses, you gotta love 'em"
This was a really good and sweet story about horses, teenage girl and her mom. It was well written and performed. I would encourage anyone who loves horses to read it.

Rutgers Law School Congratulates Elizabeth Warren '76 and Robert Menendez '79 on Their Senate Victories
The United States Senate will soon boast two members who are proud holders of a Rutgers School of Law–Newark degree. The Honorable Robert Menendez, who was reelected to a second term as a Senator from New Jersey, will be joined by Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, elected yesterday to represent the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Said Dean John J. Farmer, Jr.: "Rutgers School of Law–Newark congratulates Senator Menendez and Senator-elect Warren, two passionate advocates for social justice who have used their law degree to make a real difference in the lives of the less privileged. We are especially proud to call them exemplars of the Rutgers Law commitment to excellence, impact and opportunity."
Robert Menendez, Class of 1979, counts a number of firsts in his public service career, including first Latino elected to the New Jersey State Senate and first Latino elected from New Jersey to the U.S. House of Representatives where he rose to become the third-highest ranking Democrat. He currently serves on the Senate Committees on Finance, Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, and Foreign Relations. He chairs the Banking Subcommittee on Housing, Transportation and Community Development, and the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Peace Corps, and Global Narcotics Affairs.
Elizabeth Warren, Class of 1976, is the first woman to serve as a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts. A bankruptcy law expert, she began teaching at Harvard Law School in 1992. After the 2008 financial crisis she was named chair of the Congressional panel to oversee the Troubled Asset Relief Program and in 2010 was appointed Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Warren was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2010, and by the National Law Journal as one of the 50 most influential women attorneys in America.

CALERA, OKLAHOMA -- Forceful winds in Calera have destroyed homes, leading to multiple injuries.
Residents in Calera and Mead are picking up the pieces after winds threw trailer homes into the roadways, ripped down power lines and knocked down trees.
James Dalton with Bryan County Emergency Management says he believes straight line winds of at least 60 miles per hour hit Calera.
Calera Police Chief Don Hyde says that five people have been transported to the hospital, five people were trapped inside a home when it collapsed off Pate Road and Calera Police say there are a couple of mobile homes on top of each other, shutting down the main service road on the north-end of Calera.
"At this point we do not know the amount of damage that has been done. It is significant. We have a lot to businesses and residences throughout our tow," Hyde said.
Calera Fire officals say more than 20 powerlines are down, and hundreds of people are without power. Brian Norton with Calera Fire says power will not be restored until Monday.
We spoke to Lt. Scott Hampton with OHP. He's asking those of you in Calera to not be an onlooker. He says they are cleaning up areas and doing all they can to keep you safe, but they need you to stay out of their line of duty.
Calera police also say they will be working throughout the night. Norton says they are clearning all blocked roads.

Where Inquiry Meets Industry
From aircraft to Hollywood film editing, alumnus's problem-solving prowess makes an impact
by Tom Speicher, writer/video editor.
The room in back of the comfortable ranch house is consumed by a series of tannish bookshelves. The thin pieces of wood stretching toward the ceiling support a seemingly endless collection of books, binders, papers and magazines. Three file cabinets camouflage additional documents. A couple computers and their monitors crowd the gray desk. A framed, hand-sketched diagram of a security system circuit board hangs from the wall.
His wife might call the room "messy," but for the occupant, everything is in order. The dusty resources on the shelves serve as reminders of past challenges and accomplishments. The modern tools at his fingertips provide a resource for today and tomorrow. For Glenwood Cheslock, the room is home. This is where the self-described "problem-solver" goes to work.
"I've had a lot of people say over the years, 'You can't do this' or 'You can't do that.'"
"I've had a lot of people say over the years, 'You can't do this' or 'You can't do that.' I don't believe in that," Cheslock says as he shakes his head. "I've had a lot of fun solving problems. That's really my forte."
Even at an age when folks tend to relinquish some responsibilities in order to seek more leisurely pursuits, Cheslock puts his inquisitive mind and mechanical aptitude to work. The oil needs to be changed in his Ford Ranger? He'll do it. The horn on his BMW R 1200 ST motorcycle isn't loud enough? He buys and installs his own so it will blast. An engineering firm needs a power supply designed? He'll devise it. After all, his work as an industrial designer has touched countless parts in numerous trades since the 1960s.
"I'm the kind of person who learns by doing," says Cheslock, who lives with his wife, Jan, in Tarzana, Calif., part of the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles. "I'd rather do it myself. I've worked with people with master's degrees but they don't know how to do anything. They learn by the book. And if it doesn't go by the book, they are stumped."
Cheslock credits his self-sufficiency and hands-on skills to his upbringing and his alma mater, Pennsylvania College of Technology's predecessor institution, Williamsport Technical Institute. "WTI changed my whole life," says the 1957 graduate. "Otherwise I would have probably stayed in Hazleton and worked as a mechanic."
As a young boy growing up in West Hazleton, Cheslock enjoyed the tools and workbench his dad, a mechanical foreman for then-Pennsylvania Power & Light, gave him. As a student, he gravitated toward shop classes. As a teenager, he worked part time in a garage, learning to become a mechanic.
"What a blessing that was," Cheslock says. "After I got into mechanical design and engineering, I would remember working on cars and thinking, 'Whoever designed this?' You had to take 10 things off to get at the part that you wanted to fix on the car. It didn't make sense. When I got into design, I tried to make things bulletproof, and if they had to be repaired, it was easy to do."
After graduating from high school, an interest in drafting, born from a class he took in junior high, sent Cheslock to WTI.
"It had a very good reputation," he says. "The instructors were great. They were knowledgeable and helpful. They came from the industry."
Cheslock remembers living at a boarding house close to campus. No matter the outside temperature, he would leave his bedroom window open a crack so the piercing 7 a.m. whistle from the nearby Lycoming Engines plant could serve as his alarm clock. Once he headed off to class, the mechanical drafting student was pleased.
"The whole idea was if you're designing and drawing things, you had to know how equipment works, what tools will be needed," he says. "We spent time in the sheet-metal shop and did some spot welding and riveting. In the machine shop, we got to learn the lathe, mills and drill press. We had math classes, too, that were related to the field. They were also beneficial."
Ingersoll Rand hired Cheslock and some of his classmates upon graduation for its operations in Painted Post, N.Y., which focused on air-compressor manufacturing.
"On my first day, they gave me an assembly drawing to do that had 100 or so parts, and I was able to do it," Cheslock says with a wide smile. "That speaks well of the education received at the school."
(Today Ingersoll Rand, a $14 billion global company, still hires students from Cheslock's old stomping grounds, now known as Penn College's School of Industrial and Engineering Technologies.)
Cheslock worked at Ingersoll Rand for two years before exploring opportunities out west. Tired of the cold and inspired by a friend's firsthand account of life in southern California, Cheslock sold his motorcycle to finance his move.
"People at work asked me if I had a job," says Cheslock, who stuffed his belongings into a 1954 Ford convertible for the 2,700-mile trip. "I just said, 'No. I will find one when I get there.'"
Within three weeks, Cheslock did. He established a career as a contract industrial designer and settled into North Hollywood. He's been in California ever since, save for a small stretch of time when he returned to Pennsylvania to care for his terminally ill father.
Early contract jobs included a mail-opening machine for the government and work on the Atlas Missile Program, America's first operational intercontinental ballistic missile. Eventually, Cheslock established his own company, American Design & Technical Service, and got "hot and heavy" into the design and manufacturing of printed circuit boards, the heart of electronic devices. The range of homes for Cheslock's circuit boards is impressive: from the "black box" of the SR-71 Blackbird, a long-range reconnaissance aircraft, to X-ray screening systems in airports to film-editing bays in Hollywood.
The variety and ubiquity of Cheslock's handiwork struck him a few years ago when he returned to Pennsylvania for his 50th high school class reunion. An old friend reminisced about flying the Grumman A2F fighter while in the military. Turns out, Cheslock knew the aircraft well. He worked on the design of its joystick.
"It's a small world," he says. "I did work for several companies where they would have a lot of designers and those designers would run into a problem. They would get stuck and the companies would call me."
Those unsolicited calls still come.
Cheslock is doing consulting work for a company involved with solar-power projects. "I'm into power-supply packaging now," he says.
To illustrate, Cheslock doesn't have to remove the pen from the breast pocket of his blue, buttoned-down shirt and begin drawing a part. Instead, he fires up one of his computers to show his skill with computer-aided design. He's even fluent in SolidWorks, a prominent 3D CAD program.
"I'll never really retire," he says.
Nor should he. There are many more problems to solve, and Glen Cheslock is just 74 years old. ■

In People v Veilleux, __ Mich __ (#145142, 12/18/2012) the Michigan Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the Court of Appeals and ordered the trial court to strike the provisions of the Judgment of sentence that made the sentences for contempt consecutive to each other and consecutive to defendant�s sentence for the underlying felony.<>>�A consecutive sentence may be imposed only if specifically authorized by statute.� People v Lee, 233
App 403, 405 (1999). Contrary to the lower courts� holdings, MCL 768.7a(1) does not specifically authorize the consecutive sentences imposed here. MCL 768.7a(1) only applies to �[a] person who is incarcerated in a penal or reformatory institution in this state, or who escapes from such an institution.� When defendant committed the contempts of court at issue here, he was not at the time incarcerated in a penal or reformatory institution and he was not an escapee. <>> Mich

LXDE - Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. This project aimed to provide a new desktop environment which is useful enough and keep resource usage lower at the same time. Useabiliy, speed, and memory usage are our main concern. Suitable for netbooks.

Thanks a lot.
One of the best desktops, for new GNU+Linux users and for the old-ones who doesn't like the desktop to distract your resources or attention.
Before I start the review, I have one request for the makers of this Desktop Environment. Could you consider using IceWM as the default Window Manager, as it is very lightweight, but is more themable than Openbox, and is using GTK 1 as the toolkit. I have a bad time getting anything better than XFCE on some old Pentium 2s (Yes, Penrium 2s), and XFCE just consumes more ram than I have on hand, so I gave LXDE a shot and... it was like the machines were actually meant to be used as desktops. The Desktop Environment contains some key Applications, like a picture viewer, a calculator, a text editor, and even a dedicated terminal emulator! The theming is good for a simple and distraction-free look and feel, though (As mentioned in the above paragraph) I went out of my way to set IceWM as the default Window Manager to get some better themes than what Openbox allowed. For the usability, it's very possible for anyone with experience with Windows XP to just sit down and use it with complete ease. The panel customizability is not really as good as it should be (Like having text next to the Menu Button.), but it's still better than what Gnome 3 has to offer. As for support, I dunno. In total, it's great as a way to make an old computer (Like my old Mac G3 B/W with 512 MB ram and a shoddy ATI Rage 128 Pro graphics card.) look and run like any other, just change the Window Manager to IceWM, m'kay? :)
Thanks for Lxde, it's excellent!
Thanks so much to all who have worked on LXDE! I installed it yesterday on my old Samsung N130 netbook which I'm forced to use after my laptop didn't survive the last fall. LXDE is so amazingly fast, it is so pleasant to use: the apps load quickly, switching between them feels instant, it took away all the frustration of having to wait for things constantly as with the default Ubuntu/Unity desktop. And Eclipse, which was literally crawling before, works pretty fast as well, something I wouldn't have said about my relatively powerful workplace PCs. Obviously, I did take care not to overload the netbook with stuff, but it seems that LXDE frees up enough of my 1Gb RAM to make all this possible. And it looks nice as well. I really recommend LXDE to anyone who wants a more responsive desktop environment.

I'm trying to create a database to store values for Profit & Loss statements and I'm wondering what the best way to structure this would be. Specifically, amounts that are are equated from other numbers such as: operating income = gross income - operating expenses, and also operating expenses = wages + rent.
Should there be a field for each value, even if it is a result of an equation, or should I only keep the non-equated values, and equate the others when querying or pulling the data into a report?
In the former I would have to more fields and there's potential for the summed numbers to be entered incorrectly, the latter seems like it would have a complex structure, and would need complex queries. Keep in mind that the P&L statement I'm actually working with has many more accounts and summed accounts.
Is there a best practice for this, or place to get more info on this? I really appreciate the help

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- A Riley County child is going out of her way to spread some holiday cheer to our troops overseas and she was recognized Wednesday for her efforts.
Jessi Brummett, 10, a student at Riley County Grade School, was named the winner of a good deed contest sponsored by Dr. Roger Stevens with Dentistry by Design in Manhattan.
Jessi won an iPad for her work in the kitchen. She's been baking cookies with her aunt and sending them to deployed soldiers who cannot be with their families this holiday season.
With each batch she sends, Jessi also includes a hand-written letter, thanking the troops for their service to our country and for fighting for our freedom.
She's been packing and sending the cookies in Pringles cans because they don't get crushed and are easier to send that way. She's put up flyers around school so she can collect more cans to help send more cookies.
Dr. Stevens, a veteran, thanked Jessi for her thoughtfulness.
