WASHINGTON (PAI) - AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka is adding reconstruction of U.S. infrastructure - and creation of tens of thousands of well-paying jobs doing so - to the federation's priority list.
Reeling off statistics and relating them to crumbling roads, structurally deficient bridges and lack of new development, he told a Jan. 14 telephone press conference the federation would lobby heavily for Congress to approve new construction money.
The nation needs "opportunities and challenges to create good jobs and a basis for prosperity," he said. And he said "I don't know if any" political and governmental actors, including the Obama administration, Congress, business, and labor, "have focused adequately on infrastructure."
"We'll talk about it to anyone who will listen" to labor's campaign for trillions in new infrastructure investment, he declared.
Trumka made his comments just a week after the House Transportation Committee opened hearings on whether lawmakers should write a new mass transit-highway funding bill this year. The current funding bill has just over a year to run.
Amalgamated Transit Union President Larry Hanley urged lawmakers to act. "Increased, and more flexible transit funding, enhanced transit health and safety efforts, expanded paratransit service, concerns with outsourcing transit systems, and workforce development are key elements to a comprehensive transportation bill," he testified.
Hanley said more funding for mass transit would help a nation with an expanding urban population. He noted that metropolitan Phoenix, in 30 years, will have a population equal to that of New York City - minus its suburbs - today, for example.
"If you think the petty political trick that caused a traffic jam in Jersey was bad, wait until you see the traffic jams across America as urban populations burst at the seams," Hanley warned. "Generals fight the last war, legislators appropriate for the last demographic trend and we need to start investing now for the smart public transit that will enable our communities to run."
Trumka added highways, high-speed rail, railroads, airports, clean energy, modernizing the U.S. electrical grid and-if it meets environmental standards - even the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline to the infrastructure agenda.
"If that pipeline can be environmentally safe, there's no reason it can't be in the mix," he said of the pipeline from the Canadian border to the Gulf Coast.
Construction unions campaign for Keystone, which will be built under a project labor agreement with several building trades unions. On environmental danger grounds, several other unions, led by the Transport Workers and National Nurses United, oppose it.
Trumka chose high-speed rail as his example of another impact of the lack of infrastructure investment: U.S. trailing other big trading nations. He noted that he just got back from a trip to China that showed him the infrastructure contrast between the world's two largest economies.
Both nations made a commitment to high-speed bullet trains, Trumka noted. The U.S. "chose austerity" in 2010 and has yet to build a single mile, he lamented. "But now China's high speed trains carry as many passengers as the U.S. airlines system."
His conclusion? The U.S. is falling behind in infrastructure investment vital to keep the economy going. "To compete with China, India, and Germany, we have to invest, but our meager federal investment isn't enough," Trumka declared.
Despite Trumka's and Hanley's urgings, lawmakers may balk. The GOP-run House, for example, approved a 1,000-page $1 trillion money bill to keep the government going through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30. It zeroes out federal funds for high-speed rail, and restores airport funding to the level of two years ago, but no more.
And Trumka admitted business may have more clout on the infrastructure issue than the nation's unions, though he quickly added that infrastructure is one area where the two work together legislatively.
"Business is the key to breaking the logjam" in Congress "on climate, energy, and jobs," he said. "But it's time to act, to make it happen and to make it happen now."

125g butter
½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
½ cup golden syrup
1 egg yolk (save the egg white – you use it in the icing)
2 ½ cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
Using a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in golden syrup and egg yolk, then stir in sifted flour, ginger and baking soda in two batches.
Knead mixture on lightly floured surface until smooth. If the mixture is too crumbly, crumble it back into the mixing bowl until it resembles a fine breadcrumb. Melt a couple of tablespoons of butter and stir it through the gingerbread mixture. Keep adding melted butter until the mixture sticks together. Alternatively, if the mixture is too wet, add in more flour.
Cover the mixture in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll the dough out on a floured bench until about 5mm thick. Cut out the pieces needed for your house and place 3cm apart on prepared baking trays. If the mixture has become quite soft while you have been cutting out your shapes, place the baking trays into the fridge for a further 10 minutes for it to harden up again.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
1 ½ cups icing sugar
1 egg white
Food or gel colouring, or brought writing icings
If you are making the icing to 'glue' together your Gingerbread pieces, you want the mix to be a thick-ish paste, if it is too sloppy it will not stay in place and your pieces won't join together. It is is too runny, mix in more icing sugar.
If you are making the icing to decorate with, you will want it a little bit runny. If yours is too thick, mix in a couple of drops of hot water as needed to thin the mix up a bit.
Divide the mixture into 3-4 small bowls and add colours (if wanted). Spoon the icing into a piping bag, or small plastic re-sealable bags – just snip off a corner to use as a piping bag. For a quicker, cleaner option do try using bought writing icings.
- We gave each learner a small wooden board, wrapped in tin foil to assemble their Gingerbread House on, but you can buy specialty cake boards if you wish.
- Decorate your house with icing and anything else you like – we had so many different lollies! We also had pretzels which can create a log cabin effect, and thin chocolate squares make awesome looking panelled doors.
- To make 'stained glass windows' cut shapes out of your gingerbread panels, crush up some candy (like lollypops) and fill up the cut-out shape before baking. During baking, the candy will melt and create a window in the hole.
- Some students found it easier to decorate their house pieces first, before assembling the house. This may be a particularly good idea if you want to do intricate icing details, as you can work on a flat surface.
- We used empty glasses to prop up the walls on either side while they dried. We found icing the base and walls for two joining sides and waiting for the icing to go rock hard before adding to it worked best.
- If any of your pieces do happen to crack or break, you can piece them back together with icing. For added strength, place a couple of skewers in an 'x' shape on the back of the broken piece and icing over the top of it.
- Make sure you have waited for your icing to thoroughly dry before adding to your Gingerbread house further. When dry, the icing is almost hard like cement. If you keep adding decoration while it is wet, it will not hold the weight of your house together and it will collapse.
- If your house does collapse and crumble, maybe you can salvage it by some toy dinosaurs or plastic army men!

If you are like me, traveling to locations both far and exotic is a wonderful thing to be able to do. However, we often don't have the time or resources to go to the four corners of our planet. So, we hope to alleviate some of that wanderlust by taking you on several musical journeys throughout and even outside Planet Earth this season with our "Symphonic Travelogue". Each concert will take us along some of the most famous travel routes in history by presenting the works of composers from those countries. Following the path of the NASA satellite Voyager 1, we will hear a performance of Holst's work The Planets complete with video of the planets and space along with narration. We will also follow some of the oldest trade routes throughout Europe and Asia such as the Silk Road where we will hear the traditional Chinese instrument, the erhu, along with a trip along Persia and the Orient in Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade, the Orient Express along European routes featuring England's Edward Elgar an his Cello Concerto thru France's Claude Debussy and his wonderful tone poem about the sea La Mer, and the Amber Road thru Italy and the area formerly known as Czechoslovakia by presenting Rossini's Gazza Ladra Overture and two tone poems by Czechs Joseph Suk and Antonin Dvorak.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful
Has issues, but to me the player is awesome.,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba BDX3000 3D-Ready Wi-Fi Blu-ray Disc Player (Electronics)
Ok, so the software was crap. When I got it my BD player the touch power would not work, would have to un plug and plug in to get it to power up. My work around was to use the Toshiba TV remote and power it on/off with that remote and completely quit using the touch power button. Recently it performed an update and it seems that the power button now works with no issues, tried it several times.
The dvd player in my opinion is solid, I have more issues with my Sony one than this. The quality is right on the money with othe Blu-ray players I purchased.
The wifi connection is stronger and I use this to stream my pandora music with no issues, the TV itself keeps dropping my connection.
I dont use the remote it came with, I use the TV one instead and that works great.
Setup was easy. I have not tried a 3d blu ray movie yet, but standard dvd's and blu rays are great. I have had no freezing while playing issues on mine.
Maybe I got lucky with the one I got.
Hope this helps.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Knute Rockne was one of the most prominent figures in America -- let alone the famous coach at Notre Dame -- when his plane crashed in a Kansas pasture 75 years ago Friday.
Easter Heathman, however, didn't know anything about him that morning. The 14-year-old boy merely heard a loud noise, ran to the scene -- and later helped carry Rockne's body on a stretcher.
"I remember it just like it was yesterday," Heathman said in a
telephone interview from his Kansas home.
Rockne's death at age 43 at the height of his career -- having led the Fighting Irish to consecutive undefeated seasons his final
two seasons -- shocked football fans nationwide and made front-page
news across the country. President Herbert Hoover called it "a
national loss."
"The fact that he died when he did, when he was at the top of
his game, is a true travesty," current Irish coach Charlie Weis
Heathman, now 89, recalls his uncle calling on March 31, 1931,
saying he'd seen a wing fall off after the plane emerged from
"He said the plane was turning end over end, and the wing came
fluttering down to the ground a half-minute or so after the plane
crashed," Heathman said.
Over the years, Heathman has become the unofficial caretaker of
the crash site near Bazaar, Kan., and the monument that was built
there. He and others plan to gather Friday to commemorate the life
of Rockne and the seven others who died.
Another ceremony will be held Friday in Rockne's hometown of
Voss, Norway. At Notre Dame, the video documentary "Knute Rockne
and his Fighting Irish" will be shown hourly Friday afternoon.
"It's a time for us to reflect on true greatness, which is what
he was," Weis said.
With a 105-12-5 record in 13 seasons, Rockne's major college
football winning percentage of .881 remains unmatched.
"He set the bar," Weis said. "And everybody else just tries
to live up to that bar he set. It's probably unreachable, but at
the same time it's great to have something for everyone to shoot
Murray Sperber, an Indiana University professor emeritus who
wrote "Shake Down the Thunder," a history of Notre Dame football,
said Rockne did more than build a great football team. The money he
raised through football helped build Notre Dame.
"When he took over, Notre Dame was a small school and it was
hard to schedule games," Sperber said.
Rockne hired game officials who were friendly to the Irish,
promoted himself and the school to sportswriters, and permitted any
radio network to broadcast Irish games for free, allowing them to
become better known, Sperber said.
"He figured out how to work the system," he said. "You've got
to admire the guy, coming into this very tough system and figuring
out how to beat it -- and beat it tremendously."
In 1919, Rockne's second year at the school, a total of 56,500
people saw the Irish play football. Ten years later, 551,112 people
saw the Irish play.
"Notre Dame was really built on the money Rockne's teams made
in the 1920s," Sperber said. "If it hadn't been for Rockne and
the football money, Notre Dame might still be this small Catholic
school in northern Indiana."
Bernie Kish, former executive director of the College Football Hall of Fame who has researched Rockne's life, said the coach's death in his prime added to his legacy. But he said Rockne was a
larger-than-life figure when he was alive.
"He was the first coach who captured the imagination of the
nation. Rockne was just absolutely adored and loved nationwide, not
just by Notre Dame fans," Kish said.
Kish said Rockne also was the first entrepreneurial head coach,
establishing coaching camps, endorsing athletic equipment, and
leading a celebrity contingent to the 1928 Olympic Games in
Amsterdam. He also was known for developing coaches.
"But he was also just a personality in his own right," Kish
Pat Reis, a 1985 Notre Dame graduate from Minneapolis, will be
among those commemorating Rockne's life at the ceremony in Kansas.
It will be his fourth trip to the site he first visited in college.
"If you've ever spent any time at Notre Dame, there's still a
strong presence of Rockne. So the road trip was a bit of a mission
trip," he said. "It was just one of those spiritual things."
He received his tour of the site from Heathman, who estimates
that over the years he's shown it to thousands of people.
"They call and make an appointment. They stop here at the
door," he said. "Some of them are Notre Dame fans, some of them
are not."
While wanting to visit the site may sound odd to some, Reis said
he thinks it makes sense to any Notre Dame fan.
"We try to keep it not too Elvis. But with the stature of
Rockne and the hearts of so many Notre Dame fans, it tends to get a
little toward Graceland and the thing that Elvis has going with his
But to Heathman, who is now a big Fighting Irish fan and has
been to Notre Dame four times over the years, it's more simple than
"It's just a way to pay tribute," he said.

A recent Rare Book Room acquisition on Massachusetts insolvency laws provided a good opportunity to look into the history of debtors' prisons in the U.S. Outlawed by a federal statute in 1833, the de facto imprisonment of folks unable to pay private and court-related debts remains a hot-button issue today.

I see lots of guides showing very detailed steps on booting into various OS's, but none of the files are explained. It is not clear to me which files part of the PXE server, or are the Network Bootstrap Program, or the actual files/image that will be booted from. I.e. there is no explanation of these things, just do this do this do this. That makes it hard for me to understand it well enough to then apply the techniques to other scenarios.
I just want the PXE to boot from the remote DVD image as if it were in a drive on the local machine. I see some funky stuff, like in one case they boot into Windows PE, mount the remote image and then run setup.exe from it. This won't work for other bootable images like pfsense. On that note, the standard pfsense ISO doesn't work out of the box with PXE from what I've seen.
I just want something that will let me download standard ISO files meant for bootable CD/DVD and put it on the PXE server and have the client boot from that image. I find myself installing a wide variety of OS's and I don't want to be burning CD's all the time.
Is it not possible to just have PXE serve a ISO as if it were a DVD on the client?

Normally, one shuts down Apache Tomcat by running its
shutdown.sh script (or batch file). In some cases, such as when Tomcat's web container is hosting a web app that does some crazy things with multi-threading, running
shutdown.sh gracefully shuts down some parts of Tomcat (as I can see more available memory returning to the system), but the Tomcat process keeps running.
I'm trying to write a simple Python script that:
- Calls
- Runs
ps -aef | grep tomcatto find any process with Tomcat referenced
- If applicable, kills the process with
kill -9 <PID>
Here's what I've got so far (as a prototype - I'm brand new to Python BTW):
# Imports
import sys
import subprocess
# Load from imported module.
if __init__ == "__main__":
# Main entry point.
def main():
# Shutdown Tomcat
shutdownCmd = "sh ${TOMCAT_HOME}/bin/shutdown.sh"
subprocess.call([shutdownCmd], shell=true)
# Check for PID
grepCmd = "ps -aef | grep tomcat"
grepResults = subprocess.call([grepCmd], shell=true)
if(grepResult.length > 1):
# Get PID and kill it.
pid = ???
killPidCmd = "kill -9 $pid"
subprocess.call([killPidCmd], shell=true)
# Exit.
I'm struggling with the middle part - with obtaining the
grep results, checking to see if their size is greater than 1 (since
grep always returns a reference to itself, at least 1 result will always be returned, methinks), and then parsing that returned PID and passing it into the
killPidCmd. Thanks in advance!

"Very interesting that Jared is noted on two different marker/headstone in two different states. I've added a notation in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery memorial and also sent a request to the one in Peru Village Cemetery."
I think that the marker in Peru Village Cemetery is merely listing all of Horace & Lucy's children on the back of their stone. I'd venture to say none of the children are buried there. Or if they are, they are somewhere else in the cemetery. I've seen markers like this before.

I have sent you a couple of emails via my mother's find a grave account and thought I would try a public message as we have not heard back from you. It would mean a lot to my family if you would be willing to turn over management or ownership, whatever it is called, of our relative Martha Jordan Fishel. We really appreciate you adding her and it really meant a lot when we did a search and she came up. We are forever thankful. It would just mean a lot to the older folks if she was "being looked after by family". We look forward to hearing back from you.

A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
Ernest Hemingway's classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, now available in a restored edition, includes the original manuscript along with insightful recollections and unfinished sketches.
Published posthumously in 1964, "A Moveable Feast" remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most enduring works. Since Hemingway's personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined the changes made to the text before publication. Now, this special restored edition presents the original manuscript as the author prepared it to be published.
Featuring a personal Foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest's sole surviving son, and an Introduction by grandson of the author, Sean Hemingway, editor of this edition, the book also includes a number of unfinished, never-before-published Paris sketches revealing experiences that Hemingway had with his son, Jack, and his first wife Hadley. Also included are irreverent portraits of literary luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Maddox Ford, and insightful recollections of Hemingway's own early experiments with his craft.
Widely celebrated and debated by critics and readers everywhere, the restored edition of "A Moveable Feast "brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized.
About the Author
Ernest Hemingway was one of America s foremost journalists and authors. A winner of both the Pulitzer Prize (1953) and the Nobel Prize for Literature (1954), Hemingway is widely credited with driving a fundamental shift in prose writing in the early twentieth century. As an American expatriate in Paris in the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway achieved international fame with such literary works as The Sun Also Rises, The Old Man and the Sea, and For Whom the Bell Tolls, which depicts his experience as a correspondent during the Spanish Civil War. Hemingway died in 1961, leaving behind a rich literary legacy.
Sean Hemingway is Associate Curator in the Department of Greek and Roman Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), author of many classic works, including "The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea, Green Hills of Africa, The Garden of Eden," and "In Our Time," was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Sean Hemingway and his wife, Colette, live in Brooklyn, New York. Patrick Hemingway and his wife, Carol, live in Bozeman, Montana.
Praise For…
"The first thing to say about the 'restored' edition so ably and attractively produced by Patrick and Seán Hemingway is that it does live up to its billing . . . well worth having."--Christopher Hitchens, The Atlantic

Imitate Fake Hollywood Terminal Hacking Melodrama with This Amazing App for UbuntuSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 19th of December 2014 07:10:43 PM Filed under
We all know that Hollywood movies are the worst place to see some accurate depiction of anything from real life and that includes computer terminals. Well, there is a solution for that now and we can only hope that some misguided producer will see the new "hollywood" package made for this exact purpose.
Hollywood movie producers invest a lot of time and money in custom interfaces and GUIs that don't really do anything, but they think they're nice and interesting on film. Most of the time, someone is hacking away by typing frenetically while windows with crazy stuff open and close. This is why this kind of image is now seared into the public's consciousness and hacking looks more exciting than in real life. It isn't.

Moore's Law and Digital Audio. What Have We Done with All the Transistors?
This paper investigates what has happened to the many transistors used in digital audio engineering. Improvements in signal quality have certainly accrued but advances in ease of use, reliability, availability, serviceability, power consumption, delay and cost have far outweighed, from a practical standpoint, advances in audio quality. Many examples are given, a novel signal visualization technique is described and, based upon the history some predictions are made.

Concealed Gun Permits Deter Violence

Texas is a good case study. Before its concealed carry law was passed in 1995, proponents claimed that public safety would improve. Opponents said the Lone Star State would quickly degenerate into a Wild West shooting gallery.
"If you introduce a gun into a violent encounter," Duke University criminologist Philip Cook has said, "it increases the chance that someone will die." Since January 1, 1996, when Texas's new concealed carry law went into effect, 100,000 citizens have acquired licenses--far more than projected--while only 700 applications have been denied.
So far, the crime data from Texas support the claims of gun enthusiasts. Through the first eight months of 1996, Houston murder rates were down 18 percent from the previous year. Dallas murder rates fell 25 percent from the previous year. The evidence is mixed with regard to other violent crimes. Property crimes reported to the police, meanwhile, rose 3 to 4 percent in both cities (at this writing, statewide figures for 1996 were unavailable).
At a minimum, the data suggest that the alarmists were wrong about the impact of concealed carry on reckless homicide. The decline in gun deaths, admittedly, might have little to do with concealed carry permits. A five-year prison-building boom in Texas, for example, has raised capacity from 50,000 to 150,000 beds and probably accounts for the lion's share of the crime decline. The willingness of the state to seek and successfully employ the death penalty is a relevant factor too. The Texas crime rate has fallen by nearly 40 percent during the 1990s, to its lowest level since 1970.
But an impressive study from the University of Chicago concludes that concealed carry permits are indeed responsible for a significant national decrease in violent crime and no significant increase in fatal firearms accidents. Economist John Lott and his graduate assistant David Mustard are the first social scientists to scientifically study the impact of concealed carry permits. The crimes most likely to be deterred by concealed handgun laws, conclude Lott and Mustard, involve direct contact between the victim and criminal rather than nonconfrontational crimes like auto theft and burglary.
Contrary to the findings of a widely quoted study by University of Maryland researchers who picked only three cities in Florida and one city each in Mississippi and Oregon, Lott and Mustard used data from all three thousand counties in the United States between 1977 and 1992. Concealed handgun laws, it turns out, reduce murder by 8.5 percent, rape by 5 percent, and severe assault by 7 percent. The Lott-Mustard statistical models are sophisticated and account for many differences among counties, including arrest rates.
According to Lott and Mustard, there would have been 1600 fewer murders, 4200 hundred fewer rapes, and 60,000 fewer severe assaults if the same state laws to license law- abiding handgun carriers had prevailed throughout the country in 1992. The deterrent effect of concealed handgun laws turns out to be highest in counties with high crime rates. Despite a relatively small number of women with concealed handgun permits, the deterrent impact on rape is comparable to that of other violent crimes.
The Chicago economists figure that the national reduction in violent crime is worth $6.6 billion, while the modest rise in property crimes costs about $400 million--for a net social gain of $6.2 billion.
The Lott-Mustard study has set the disarmament movement back a good ten years, reducing it to emoting and personal smears. The study, which appeared in the University of Chicago's peer-reviewed Journal of Legal Studies in January 1997, examines the data in every conceivable way and finds the deterrent effect of armed, law-abiding citizens to be undeniable.
Today, 31 states--representing 49 percent of the population--have "right to carry" laws on their books. Many legislators in those states took a lot of heat for their belief in the benign effects of gun ownership and concealed carry. Now they have solid proof that they were right.

Due to his history of successful litigation, the board (and their legal counsel) never pursue any of the many complaints against this guy. They want to avoid getting sued by him. So, while HH doesn't provide much security for the residents, the Fort Lee Police does fill in the gap.
The problem with the collapsing terraces has finally been corrected, so I'm happy to report that the terraces are now safe again. The mid-rise terraces all need a new paint job but, since the terraces don't belong to the residents but, rather, to the association, we will have to wait for them to paint the terraces. Some of us are trying to get permission to paint the terraces (particularly the decaying wood railings) ourselves.
Because it's a coop, there is an overlying mortgage on the building. This is why the maintenance is higher than on condos. On the other hand, you get a bigger tax deduction. This also keeps the purchase price below that of a condo. The maintenance goes up and down depending on whatever projects the board have in place. In addition, the board recently refinanced part of the mortgage in order to get some cash flow, so this increased the interest component of the buildings mortgage.
So it comes down to whether you want to own your own home (condo or house) and have some control (and ownership) over your living space (condo or rental), or if you are OK with letting an association own and control your space (coop). And it comes down to a paying a lower price to buy in, initially, but paying higher maintenance going forward (with no control over the ups and downs of the maintenance fee) or paying a higher price for the unit (and also actually owning it) but lower maintenance going forward.
The board pretends to know nothing whenever an employee misbehaves or breaks the law. When you complain, the board's lawyers send you a nasty letter denying everything and threatening if you continue to complain.
The playground is nice for the kids, but I don't feel comfortable with my kids playing there during the day with that creepy guy who is supposed to be responsible for landscaping and the security patrol. We're not the first parents who have had a problem with this.
I've only lived here for a short time but, if it wasn't for the terrible real estate market, I'd sell and move into a condo or a rental.
The property, itself, is a very nice, middle-tier, apartment complex. The mid-rises are about 50 years old with the 2 high-rise building much newer than the mid-rises. There are two pools. Membership is a few hundred dollars for a family for the season. Guests can be brought in for $6 on weekdays, $12 on weekends and $18 when there are pool parties. A new feature is free admission for a guest on Wednesdays. Most of the buildings have a gym in the lobby $120/yr membership. There is also a tennis court and a playground for the kids.
Because the entire complex is on a single pipe system the A/C is on part of the year, then a week of no A/C or heat, followed by turning on the heat for the winter season. Western ("sunset view") apartments in the mid-rises get very, very hot in the afternoons, summer and winter, so you need good window coverings. The high-rises have thermostats. The mid-rises have manual settings, not set by temperature. In winter, the two settings are OFF and SAHARA DESERT. In the summer the two settings are OFF and ANTARCTIC WINTERLAND. Utilities are included in the maintenance, so many of us just use space heaters all day in the winter and keep the building heaters OFF or on the lowest fan setting.
Since ownership is in the hands of the association (1266 Apt. Corp), and not the residents, all decisions and rule setting is in the hands of the board of directors. Basically, the chairman of the board makes any rules and the rest of the board rubber stamps it. Some of the rules can be very arbitrary, such as, 2 years ago, out of the blue, the doormen were not allowed to hold more than three packages in the package room at a time per apartment, and not for more than 3 days (unless you get permission from the board -- for example, when you are on vacation for a week, so your deliveries may sit in the package room for up to a week). Another rule was, when you are out-of-town, and don't need your parking space, you are not allowed to tell the doorman that he can use the spot for guest parking for your neighbors. Since parking is very scarce on the property, it would be nice to be able to share your, unused, spot for guest parking for your neighbors' use. Fortunately, the chairman of the board is not very well respected by the residents (to put it politely and in an understated way), so the residents usually just ignore her arbitrary rules.
Security on the property is basically handled by the local, Fort Lee Police. There is an internal, HH, security department, but their job is basically enforcement of the rules, which, as mentioned above, are set by the board of directors. There was an accident in the parking lot once and when my neighbor called the security office to report it and ask to see the video surveillance of the accident, she was told that it wasn't the concern of the security department -- "just call the police" and "we don't provide the video surveillance to residents." Another time, a vandal was vandalizing some cars. The security office was called -- as it was happening. The employee who runs the security office told the resident not to bother him and if he had a problem just call the police. The Fort Lee Police is aware of this policy, thought they probably are not happy with it. The man who works in the security office is a former member of the Roseland Police who had to leave the force in shame. He had to discharge his weapon during the pursuit of a criminal and, apparently got spooked. He then sued the police for assigning him to "hazardous duty." Although his suit had no merit, the cost of defending it would have exceeded the cost of just settling, so the town settled. The former cop then used the money he won to start a landscaping business, but had to no skills with landscaping or with running a business. He tried to sue the police again, blaming his failure on them, but lost. Ironically, not only is this guy the head clerical person for HH security, he asked to be put in charge of HH's landscaping, as well. Due to his history of successful litigation, the board (and their legal counsel) never pursue any of the many complaints against this guy. They want to avoid getting

Judge In Zimmerman Trial Bars Audio Experts' Testimony
A judge in the murder trial of George Zimmerman has excluded testimony from two audio experts who've suggested that Trayvon Martin can be heard screaming on a 911 call moments before the unarmed teen was fatally shot.
Judge Debra Nelson issued the 12-page ruling on Saturday after hearing days of arguments on whether to allow the testimony.
The Associated Press says one expert ruled out Zimmerman as the screamer and another said it was Martin. Defense experts argued there was not enough audio to determine whom the screams are coming from.
The Miami Herald described the ruling as a "major blow" to prosecutors:
"The testimony of Tom Owen and Alan Reich, both of whom analyzed a 911 call by a neighbor that captured the sounds of the brawl, was key for the state because it could have painted Zimmerman as the aggressor."
"There is no evidence to establish that their scientific techniques have been tested and found reliable," Nelson wrote.
The newspaper added that the judge:
"... singled out Reich, who claimed he heard Trayvon saying specific phrases, including 'I'm begging you.' Nelson said his report to the prosecution, which differed from one given earlier to a newspaper, 'would confuse issues' and 'mislead the jury.' "
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, is accused of shooting Martin during a February 2012 scuffle inside a gated community in Sanford, Fla.

Schizophrenia is a severe, persistent, and fairly common mental illness. Haloperidol is widely used and is effective against the symptoms of psychosis seen in schizophrenia. Chronic oral haloperidol administration decreased the number of astrocytes in the parietal cortex of macaque monkeys (Konopaske et al., Biol Psych 63:759–765, 2008). Since astrocytes play a key role in glutamate metabolism, chronic haloperidol administration was hypothesized to modulate astrocyte metabolic function and glutamate homeostasis.
This study investigated the effects of chronic haloperidol administration on astrocyte metabolic activity and glutamate, glutamine, and GABA homeostasis.
We used ex vivo 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy along with high-performance liquid chromatography after [1-13C]glucose and [1,2-13C]acetate administration to analyze forebrain tissue from rats administered oral haloperidol for 1 or 6 months.
Administration of haloperidol for 1 month produced no changes in 13C labeling of glutamate, glutamine, or GABA, or in their total levels. However, a 6-month haloperidol administration increased 13C labeling of glutamine by [1,2-13C]acetate. Moreover, total GABA levels were also increased. Haloperidol administration also increased the acetate/glucose utilization ratio for glutamine in the 6-month cohort.
Chronic haloperidol administration in rats appears to increase forebrain GABA production along with astrocyte metabolic activity. Studies exploring these processes in subjects with schizophrenia should take into account the potential confounding effects of antipsychotic medication treatment.

Auckland train services are starting to move again after
hundreds of Auckland train commuters were left stranded at
Britomart Station.
An announcement was made about 6.25pm that no trains were
running due to a signal failure in Wellington.
By 7pm, Auckland Transport said signals were now operational,
but passengers should still expect "significant delays".
Western Line trains between Newmarket and Swanson are
operating, although they are also subject to delays.
At the news, people poured out of Britomart in their
hundreds, seeking buses and taxis.
The 'twitterverse' has already witnessed angry Auckland
commuters venting about their change in plans.
Neala Killalea asked whether Auckland Transport would refund
her ticket
"Britomart is empty, half an hour after my train was supposed
to leave"
Fellow commuter Faith-Ashleigh Wong was also unimpressed with
the technical issues.
"So annoying that we're stuck at Britomart about 2 minutes
from the platform.So close yet so far."
But Twitter user 'jerro70' is unlucky enough to be stuck on a
train just outside of Britomart station when the signals
failed and has been there for over 30 minutes.
"Staff do not appear to know what is going on," he tweeted
from within the carriage.
"Why is there no Auckland backup control? #useless," tweeted
Joshua Teal.
It's the second time this year that Auckland commuters have
been left stranded after an issue in Wellington.
In April, the Auckland region's entire rail network was
crippled and all trains on the network were ordered to a halt
after signals and radio communications between KiwiRail's
national control centre in the capital and Auckland were cut.

Jamie Jungers Took Naked Pictures of Tiger Woods While He Was Sleeping
We were going to say that this is every celebrity's nightmare, but it's kind of our nightmare, too.
Oh, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. It had to be you. We don't know why we even considered that it might be Jaimee Grubbs, or that cocktail waitress from Florida, who had the nude photos of Tiger Woods that caused his lawyers to take legal action in the United Kingdom. According to her aunt, Jungers was telling people in the family that she'd snapped some shots of Tiger in all his unwrapped glory. "She told me that she had taken pictures of Tiger Woods naked while he was passed out drunk on her cell phone," Jungers's aunt, Susan Minor, said. "Jamie said she was going to take the pictures to the tabloids if something happens between her and Tiger, if they break up," Minor told Radar Online. Though she didn't claim to have seen the pictures (which is probably for the best — we're already well past our TMI threshold on this story), Minor did reveal some interesting priorities in the Jungers family. "I thought go for it, if you've got them go for it," she said of the images.
Over this Thanksgiving, which she spent with Jamie, Minor says "the conversation got to Tiger being in a car accident; basically that's when my sister, who is Jamie's mom, started saying: 'Jamie, you need to go to the tabloids.'"
This seems strange to us. In what situation is "going to the tabloids" ever the right, or even instinctual, solution?
What does not seem strange to us, however, is the anxiousness Woods is probably feeling right now knowing those pictures are out there. Getting photographed while you are passed out drunk and naked has got to be every celebrity's nightmare. Hell, it's our nightmare.
Our only hope, in this situation, is that Jamie did the right thing that night when Tiger was passed out and she took the pictures. Because if she didn't draw a penis on his face, this will all have been for nothing.

For those of you who are interested in temples, the Mormon church has a temple located in Albuquerque. It is one of more than 120 temples worldwide that the church has built. The exterior of the temple is Deseret Rose precast concrete, with the base being Texas pearl granite. Only those members who are worthy are allowed to enter, but you are free to walk and enjoy the beautiful landscaped grounds which are free to the public
