Walk and Bike to School Colorado!
Bike to School Day is May 4, 2016
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is encouraging elementary and middle schools across Colorado to participate in Bike to School Day on Wednesday, May 4, 2016. Any day in May works - May 4th is just the nationally promoted date. Bike to School Day is a great opportunity to galvanize visibility for biking (and walking) to and from school. Please use the attached order form to request promotional items from CDOT. Other items are available for downloading and printing here.
Schools can register their Walk and Bike to School events at www.walkbiketoschool.org.
Walk (and Bike) to School Colorado is the vision that communities create safe, friendly neighborhoods for all children to walk or bicycle to and from school. Learn how to organize a Walk (or Bike) to School Day, a Colorado Walking Wednesday program, or a Walk to School program in your neighborhood.
The idea is simple: Parents, teachers, and neighbors walk to school with their children on Walk to School Day.
Walking to school can be fun and energizing. It gets the day off to a healthy start while renewing community spirit with friends, family and classmates.
For most communities though, one day isn't enough. Children should be able to walk safely to and from school every day. If this vision were to become a reality, the community could see a variety of benefits, including better sidewalks, safer street crossings, and improved driver, cyclist, and pedestrian behavior.
Take the leap to launch a Walk or Bike to School Day!
Mark your calendars now for the official "Walk to School Colorado!" Day and Bike to School Colorado! Day!
Walk to School Colorado! is an annual event that takes place the first Wednesday in October— the same day as International Walk to School Day.

Female Sexual Problems Diagnosis
Evaluation for a sexual problem will start with an extensive medical interview. Be sure to tell your health care professional about any medical or mental illnesses and surgeries you have or have had in the past and any medications you take, including over-the-counter medications, herbs, and supplements.
A complete physical examination also will be done. Depending on the type of problem you are having, your health care professional may choose to include a pelvic examination or may refer you to a gynecologic specialist for that part of the examination. For certain other types of problems, consultation with other specialists may be needed.
In most cases lab tests are not needed, although your health care professional may request tests to rule out certain conditions. You may have blood drawn to check hormone levels. X-rays and other radiology tests are needed only in unusual circumstances.

The stars of the music world – who are all mourning the shocking death of Whitney Houston Saturday – will have to wait until tonight to find out whether they'll be adding gramophones to their trophy cases.
But PEOPLE music critic Chuck Arnold has his mind made up about who should go home a winner this year …
Adele, 21
Foo Fighters, Wasting Light
Lady Gaga, Born This Way
Bruno Mars, Doo-Wops & Hooligans
Rihanna, Loud
Adele, "Rolling in the Deep"
Bon Iver, "Holocene"
Bruno Mars, "Grenade"
Mumford & Sons, "The Cave"
Katy Perry, "Firework"
There's only one album that I would have picked to beat 21, and that is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West's masterpiece that inexplicably was not nominated in this category. Without that hip-hop opus, Adele's second set is the clear-cut choice for me – and probably 99 percent of the Recording Academy voters.
From start to finish, it takes you on an emotional journey during which you feel every note. But Wasting Light, arguably the best album of Foo Fighters' career, would have been a worthy pick in a year without Adele. Sorry, fellas.
For record of the year, it would have been more complicated if "Someone Like You" had also been nominated. Then Adele's biggest competition would have been herself. As it is, this is another no-brainer: "Rolling in the Deep" is that rare record that captured the heart of a nation and played it to the beat. The other contenders present a contrast in pop hitmaking ("Grenade," "Firework") versus alt-folk artistry ("Holocene," "The Cave"), with the latter giving Mumford & Sons the edge over Bruno Mars for runner-up spoils.
The Band Perry
Bon Iver
J. Cole
Nicki Minaj
Adele, "Rolling in the Deep"
Bon Iver, "Holocene"
Bruno Mars, "Grenade"
Mumford & Sons, "The Cave"
Kanye West et al, "All of the Lights"
This category (a songwriter's award) features all of the record of the year nominees, with one exception: "Firework" is replaced with "All of the Lights." It certainly makes this a better bunch of tunes, even if the Kanye West epic owes as much to its production and arrangement as its songwriting. It's a crime that West has never won one of the Big Four Grammys, so I'm rooting for him to pull the upset over Adele and keep the night interesting.
Call me sentimental, but how can you not pull for Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse to win for "Body and Soul"?
Best Country Album
Eric Church's Chief gets the nod over Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Blake Shelton, George Strait and Taylor Swift.
Best R&B Song
"Far Away," by Marsha Ambrosius, still breaks my heart every time I hear it.
Best Rap Album
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy trumps Kanye West's other contender in this category: Watch the Throne with Jay-Z.
Best Rock Performance
Soaring – and roaring – on "Walk," Foo Fighters top a quality field that also includes Coldplay, the Decemberists, Mumford & Sons, and Radiohead.
If you've never heard of J. Cole, Skrillex or Bon Iver – all up for best new artist – the 2012 Grammy Nominees album will school you on them in between familiar fare from Adele, Rihanna and Lady Gaga.
The 54th Annual Grammy Awards air Sunday on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

All About PulleysWritten on April 26, 2006 Now you'll be able to explain to your buddies what pulley ratios mean and why your car overheats at every stoplight.
Whether your goal is looks, efficiency, or merely getting your engine running, pulleys are critical parts, and there are important factors that need to be considered when selecting them.
If you're operating the engine with just the bare essentials of an alternator and a mechanical water-pump, there's a pretty good chance everything will work properly, assuming you're using stock pulleys designed to fit your engine. Things get a little more complicated when you add luxuries like power steering and air conditioning, and getting everything to line up and work properly can be a challenge.
So, if your engine and its related systems are stock and you use stock pulleys, everything should be OK. However, big problems can arise when you randomly mix and match pulleys in hopes that all the accessories will rotate at the proper rpm. To sort out a custom application, you have to understand the concept of pulley ratios. The ratio of any two drive accessories can be determined by dividing the diameter of the smaller pulley into the larger one. For example, if a 6-inch water-pump pulley is used in conjunction with a 7-inch crank pulley, the pulley ratio is 1.16:1. So for every 1,000 rpm the crank pulley spins, the water pump would rotate 1,116 times. Since the water pump spins at a faster rate than the crank, it's said to be overdriven. Flop things around, and the water pump would spin slower than the crank and be underdriven. Underdrive pulley sets are often used to reduce the parasitic drag on the crankshaft to increase horsepower; however, altering the speed of the accessories can have adverse affects on the performance of the related systems, especially if they are already overburdened.
In addition to performance, looks and location are important too. There are several options. The cheapest way is to scour swap meets and junkyards. Another option is to call reputable pulley manufacturers and suppliers like Street & Performance, March Performance, Alan Grove Components, Zoops Products, Canton Racing Products, and Auto Specialties. These companies offer everything from simple factory-style replacements to complete serpentine conversions that can help optimize your current accessory system through various pulley diameters and configurations.
The only question is, with so many options available, which will you choose? Read on to find the ins and outs of various V-belt and serpentine pulley systems, along with what the various aftermarket manufacturers currently have available.
Serpentine vs. V-Groove
The gripping power of a V-belt relies heavily on the single groove of a pulley, whereas a serpentine belt offers greater surface area with a minimum of six ribs (smaller V-groove shapes) that provide greater traction with minimal slippage.
If you want a clean, modern look with a single belt driving all your accessories, a serpentine system is definitely the way to go. Keep in mind that along with this new look, most engines will also require a reverse-rotation water pump, because the single-belt routing requires the pump to turn in the opposite direction (see diagram). A serpentine conversion provides the advantage of being able to carry a single replacement belt rather than an assortment of V-belts. There's also the added bonus of gaining access to virtually any combination of pulley diameters you could ever want, allowing you greater control of under- or over-driving any particular accessory. Belt changes are easier too. Those are some of the advantages, but let's face it-even though the big three have adopted the serpentine system for most current production vehicles, V-belts are still around and they work just fine. The decision ultimately comes down to the cost of the conversion and the kind of look you're trying to achieve.
Calculating Pulley RPM
Calculating a pulley's rpm can be very handy when it comes to optimizing an accessory system or sorting out problems.
If you don't already know the overall diameter of each pulley, place a tape measure from one lip of the pulley to the other to find out. The crank pulley is used as the driver pulley (since it's the source of rotation), and the water pump, alternator, and power steering pump are called the driven pulleys. Once you have the measurements, simply plug them into the following equation for the rotating rpm. If you change the diameter of any of the pulleys, you can easily calculate the new rotating rpm along with the percentage of change. For example, let's plug in the numbers for a typical application with a small-block 350:
|rpm of driven pulley = 1,000 rpm of driver pulley x Diameter of driver pulley
|Diameter of driven pulley
|Pulley dia. (in.)
|6 5/8
|Water pump
|Power steering
|5 47/64
|2 1/2
Underdrive Pulleys
The biggest drawback to belt-driven accessory systems is that it takes precious horsepower to turn them. One method of regaining some of the power lost to the parasitic drag effect is to underdrive the system. In most cases, accessories like the water pump, A/C compressor, and power-steering pump can be safely slowed down by 25 percent; alternator speed should stay within about 10 percent or less of its stock speed because alternator output tends to fall rapidly as rpm decreases. Underdrive is generally achieved by swapping a smaller crank pulley in conjunction with slightly larger water-pump and alternator pulleys.
If we swap our imaginary small-block's 651/48-inch crank pulley to a smaller 5-inch crank pulley, we can underdrive the water and power-steering pumps by the right amount, but not without also adversely affecting the alternator. By slowing the rotating rpm of the alternator, charging output can be reduced enough to cause the headlights to dim at idle and prevent the battery from properly charging. The simple fix is to replace the 211/42-inch alternator pulley with a smaller 2-inch pulley and raise the rotating rpm from 2,000 back to 2,500, which is only 150 rpm less than the original 2,650 with the larger 651/48-inch crank pulley. In the process, we've reduced the speed of the other accessories relative to the crankshaft speed, reduced parasitic drag, and gained a few extra ponies. And to think we used to hate math in grade school.

If you want a factory-style serpentine drive system for your small-blockChevy, GM Performance Parts offers this complete system that includesall the pulleys, brackets, and accessories including the A/C compressor,alternator, water pump, tensioner, and belt. If you couldn't care lessabout air conditioning, GMPP also has a non-air serpentine system.Mixing pulleys from different manufacturers can cause problems. Sinceall pulleys may not be machined identically, it's not uncommon toexperience alignment issues that can cause premature belt wear or theconstant throwing of belts. Pick one company and stick with it.If you're constantly throwing V-belts from the alternator, a deep-groovepulley may be the answer. Deep-groove pulleys were used on many carsequipped with high-performance engines, but they only work as intendedif matched with the corresponding deep-groove alternator and water-pumppulleys. Without them, the belt will only get thrown elsewhere in thesystem.Our Ford tow rig has been outfitted with a serpentine drive system thatwas salvaged off of a newer late-model F-250. You may be surprised atwhat you can find at the salvage yard. This type of conversion may be aneconomical alternative if you can piece the parts together to fit yourapplication.A serpentine system must constantly have tension on the belt in order tofunction properly. Controlling the tension is done in one of two ways.Most factory systems incorporate self-adjusting tensioners, while manyaftermarket kits use a manual tensioning system consisting of adjustablerod ends. Most serpentine systems incorporate one or more idler pulleysthat reduce the belt travel between accessories and allow the belt tofollow a closed loop. Ideally, you don't want to have more than 18inches between accessories or you increase the chances of belt flap,which can cause the belt to be thrown. The main advantage to the self-adjuster is its ability to keep tension on the belt as it stretchesthrough normal wear. With a manually tensioned system, the belt tensionmust be monitored and adjusted periodically. The biggest mistake when itcomes to manually applying tension on the belt comes fromover-tightening. The belt should not be too tight--about 1/4 inch ofmovement in either direction is good.

Former House speaker Dennis Hastert was making $165,200 a year in 2007 when he resigned from Congress, and quickly parlayed his political experience into a much more lucrative career as a federal lobbyist.
One industry expert estimated that a lobbyist with Hastert's background today could bring in at least $1 million a year. On top of his lobbying work, Hastert made substantial sums from sitting on corporate boards, giving speeches and consulting.
And he continues to collect three government pensions that in total exceed $100,000 a year.
Hastert, 73, was charged last week in a federal indictment that said he agreed to pay $3.5 million in hush money over past misconduct...

Comments about ''Spring Breakers' is one more example of Disney stars gone wild'

What I don't get - is a movie about parties, sex and drugs the only
alternative to doing family movies for an actor? Are there not plenty of other
interesting topics about real life i.e. how to overcome poverty, end slavery,
deal successfully with mental illness, etc. Or if you want to escape, a movie
about getting out of North Korea, hunting down spies or terrorists. Do the next
Inception or Mission Impossible.
Why is it always with these Mouseketeers that they only see one path out of child stardom? If Gomez et al are really interested in protecting their many underage followers from immorality, they could choose literally dozens of other paths.
The fact is, they themselves live in an unrealistic world of group sex, drugs and parties. They don't get involved in any interesting causes or do anything that has positive impact on society. Missed opportunities for them and sad for their fans.

Maybe the problem is with script writers. Writing a script involving sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll requires no deep-knowledge development. Writing about Susan B. Anthony and the struggles against denial of women's right to vote (or such) would be tough.

Seriously, Selena? You want to redefine yourself as an actress so you don't have to do Disney/teen flicks any more, and you graduate to the latest re-hash of College Girls Go Wild and flash a bunch of skin? Huh? It's the same audience that watched your plot-less teen movies 5 years back!

You do realize that it is a movie, they are actors. And if you don't want to see it, stay home. They did plenty of warning, and it's rated R.

I'm looking to create a demo using the source development kit.
Because i want it to have a similar style to portal, but one I'm wondering can i get the portal 2 authoring tools without owning the game,
and two I'm finding it very difficult to find any form of tutorials for it, could anyone link me to some preferably PDF format or eBook i rather read them.
I'm looking to create a demo using the source development kit.

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You need to own at least 1 Source game before you are given access to the Source editing tools. I'm not quite sure what kind of demo you plan to make, or if that demo will require code changes or not, but I believe the Source SDK only provides you with Half-Life 2 mod tools, not Portal 2. You may be able to find more information on their website here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Main_Page
You can however make very sophisticated maps using Valve's map editor called Hammer. And again, you will need to own any game you want to design maps for (otherwise how did yo plan to test them?). There are plenty of Hammer tutorials out there, although here is Valve's official level design page for Portal 2: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Category:Portal_2_Level_Design
I recommend buying Left4Dead2 from Steam's website as it comes with SourceSDK/Hammer and you can watch those videos on YouTube. It's not too hard to understand and get halfway decent at pretty quickly (1 day a week for 2 months and you'll be making some pretty spiffly looking maps). You'll eventually get to the intermediate level and that's where there's problems, cuz for the life of me I cannot find a good source on how to transition from one map to the next and upload that to Steam so everyone can play your maps.

In Her Shoes
- Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
- Release Date: Oct 7, 2005
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The movie is so well-cast, sympathetically acted and delicately directed -- and so genuinely touching and funny -- that it leaps right out of the narrow confines of the family bonding formula.
Starts out with the materials of an ordinary movie and becomes a rather special one.
It's wonderfully satisfying: Collette, MacLaine and Diaz are exceptional, and the mix of humor and heartbreak is perfectly calibrated.
No great claims should be made for In Her Shoes. If the aim here was to show how chick lit can become just plain lit, the effort failed. But there is something to be said for froth when it's expertly whipped.
When superb craftsmanship, discipline, and risk-taking (toning down Diaz and MacLaine; treating Collette as a desirous leading lady) are applied to accessible, even frivolous material, the results can be deeply pleasurable. In Her Shoes isn't a masterpiece, but it's the best Saturday-night movie millions of people are going to go to.
Manipulative, but confidently so, and improbably but consistently affecting.
While on the surface very much a girls' film, this ruefully honest picture has something to say to everyone.
It's Hanson's astute directing that makes the film's life lessons go down painlessly, turning the smartly entertaining In Her Shoes into a comfy fit for both sexes.
It's an earnest, contemporary drama about adults -- OK, women -- that has no use for irony or cynicism, no room for cutting-edge, clever hipness.
A rollicking, mascara-smearing, intergenerational coed crowd-pleaser. Imagine "Sex and the City" negotiating "Terms of Endearment" with "The Golden Girls."
Simply clicks on every level. From the surprising depth of the story, to the smooth and sometimes brilliant performances, to Hanson's clear mastery of form.
While the director's avid fans may be disappointed, upscalish mainstream auds, particularly women, will eat up this well-acted, emotionally focused adaptation of Jennifer Weiner's popular novel.
The best moments belong to Shirley MacLaine, who makes the clipped script sing as Ella.
The joy of this unassuming, generous film is that it never sells out its characters' desires or ours.
Could it be that the director of "L.A. Confidential," "Wonder Boys," and "8 Mile" has been defeated by characters on a first-name basis with brisket, by women who, in Susannah Grant's screenplay, represent avatars of joyless workaholism and joyless sexaholism?
A great big wad of chick-lit gum, In Her Shoes gets by on the skill of its players.
Cameron Diaz redeems her reputation somewhat in In Her Shoes, Curtis Hanson's schmaltzy, but reasonably entertaining dramedy about mismatched sisters.
Entertaining enough, but it's more pat than provocative -- this is what makes it a bona fide audience pleaser while keeping it from drawing real blood.
Not once does this ruffled sweetness seem like Hanson's natural terrain. "Wonder Boys" took emotional risks, daring to suggest that with age comes not wisdom but confusion and crummy robes, whereas everything in the new film is designed to slot together with an optimistic click.
It's absolutely the classiest big-screen version of chick lit we're ever likely to see. But it still has all the lasting flavor of a Chiclet.
Artificial in both its dialogue and its construction, the film only works - on those occasions when it works - because of the sincere performance by the underrated Toni Collette.
Diaz and Collette are believable as sisters, but their performances rarely surprise -- in a more interesting movie world, they'd have switched roles.
A bungled mess that spends an hour creating two characters whose lives are about as believable as a successful ambush set by Wile E. Coyote for the Roadrunner.
The people who made this film -- particularly the ones responsible for the story and the dialogue -- should look no further when trying to understand why In Her Shoes lands with such little impact. The characters seem authentic -- until the chick-flick template distorts them.
Although much of the bloat can be traced to the script, via the Jennifer Weiner novel, let's not absolve director Curtis Hanson from his fat share of the blame.
For you guys out there stuck with a lady-friend looking for that "Beaches" replacement, here it is.
The whole exercise feels hopelessly shallow and artificial. In Her Shoes is basically a double-date romantic comedy, in which not one but two women find themselves and learn to live and love again, etc. etc., and while it's well-acted on most counts, it's also as plodding as it is obvious.
The movie's a bust in myriad ways, especially because almost every scene possesses the oily feel of manipulation and condescension.
Ultimately, it's too self-conscious of its role in the marketplace and too hamstrung by its source material to risk being honest at the expense of being liked.
There'd be nothing wrong with this if the film 'fessed up to its kitschy soul. Instead, it pretends to be the high-minded drama it's not.
The movie works neither as a comedy nor as a lame melodrama -- its entertainment value is embarrassingly feeble.

I'm a guy, but I enjoy well done "chick flicks" like "Ghost" and "Working girl", and others. But this was hardly well done. In the early part of movie neither Diaz nor Collette comes off as a complete person. Diaz is the irresponsible, insensitive sister. Collette is the drab, dull one (who apparently never had a "real" boyfriend before the one she gets in the film, despite the fact that she's in her 30"s, so I'm assuming there's this whole lesbian past movie isn't telling us about). Diaz learns how to be a responsible, caring grown-up, who knows what's really important, and Collette learns how to be true to herself, and have fun. Diaz goes from a somewhat interesting character, into a dull one. Collette starts of as a dull, drab one, and never becomes interesting. Throw in the fact that MacLaine is the guilt-ridden grandmother, determined to strengthen Diaz out, and you're wondering couldn't filmmakers have thrown all these clichés into one character. Still, their is nothing wrong with Collette's to good to be true boyfriend, other then the complete lack of a personality. (Did they really get engaged after about three dates. It certainly felt that way)… Full Review »

Joe Hart 7/10
The England goalkeeper only had one save to make, but he was calm and confident when forced to clear his line and collect crosses.
Jerome Boateng 6
Boateng can offer an extra attacking outlet down the right flank, but Evra and Nani kept him focused on defensive duties.
Kolo Toure 6
Left Berbatov to defensive partner Vincent Kompany. Failed to use the space to carry ball out of defence as he did in his Arsenal days.
Vincent Kompany 7
The Belgian has consistently been City's best defender this season and he lived up to the billing again by keeping Berbatov quiet.
Pablo Zabaleta 7
Always steady and reliable, Zabaleta justified his selection ahead of Kolarov, Lescott and the out-of-favour Wayne Bridge.
Nigel de Jong 6
Uncompromising as usual, but United's slick passing exposed De Jong's weaknesses. Improved in closing stages, though.
Gareth Barry 6
Did the same defensive job as De Jong, but did little to suggest that Roberto Mancini needs both holding men in the same team.
David Silva 8
The former Valencia winger was City's one ray of light in terms of creativity. Showed tenacity too. Mancini needs more like him.
Yaya Toure 5
Is he really pocketing more than £200,000-a-week? Like watching a polar bear chase a rabbit as he attempted to shackle Scholes.
James Milner 6
A great athlete, but the England midfielder was too one-dimensional in this game. Didn't pose any problems.
Carlos Tévez 7
He was clearly troubled by his recent thigh injury, but the former United forward constantly chased down Ferdinand and Vidic.
Adam Johnson on for Milner 72, 6
Aleksandar Kolarov on for Boateng 80, 6
Edwin van der Sar 7/10
Rarely troubled, but the 40-year-old produced a superb full-stretch save to keep out Tévez's first-half free kick.
Rafael da Silva 6
Shaded his battle with David Silva until injury forced him to limp out of the game four minutes into the second-half.
Rio Ferdinand 7
Looks to be over his two-year injury nightmare and close to his best form. Tévez made his life difficult at times, though.
Nemanja Vidic 7
The United captain dominated Tévez in the first-half, but the Argentine raised his game after the break. Vidic always responded to the challenge, though.
Patrice Evra 7
Produced one his best performances of the season until an injury forced him out of the game on 69 minutes. Supported Nani well.
Darren Fletcher 7
Gave United boundless energy in midfield and he also looked a threat when going forward. A crucial cog in Ferguson's team.
Paul Scholes 7
Tired in the second-half, but his passing in the first-half ensured United dominated possession. City were clearly fearful when he had the ball.
Michael Carrick 7
Seems to be regaining his confidence after a difficult 18 months. Kept everything simple, but he was effective alongside Fletcher.
Ji-sung Park 7
Failed to come up with the heroics that secured victory over Wolves on Saturday, but he gave City problems in an advanced role.
Nani 7
Lively throughout the game and the Portuguese winger was arguably the most dangerous player on the pitch. Couldn't find a cutting edge, though.
Dimitar Berbatov 5
The Bulgarian's early season form has evaporated, but he did test Joe Hart with a spectacular scissor-kick. Not much else, though.
Wes Brown on for Rafael 49, 6/10 (Booked)
Javier Hernandez on for Berbatov 78, 6
John O'Shea on for Evra 69, 6

Studies on the physiology of the actinomycetes have not been too extensive to date. The literature indicates that members of this group of microorganisms are able to oxidize carbohydrates and lipids to carbon dioxide, but the intermediates in this chain of reactions are unknown. Most of the actinomycetes are quite proteolytic and attack proteins and polypeptides, and are also able to utilize nitrates and ammonia as sources of nitrogen. Nearly all synthesize vitamin B12 when grown on media containing cobalt salts, and many are able to synthesize rather complex organic molecules which have antibiotic properties. The mechanism of synthesis of these substances is not understood, and their role in the organism's metabolism has not been investigated.

THE TESTING OF A PRESIDENT; Excerpts From Debate on Plan to Begin an Impeachment Inquiry
Published: October 9, 1998
(Page 4 of 9)
What do we say in the future to all of those people who take the oath of office who say, I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth . . . If we leave this President alone, if he committed these crimes, then we have undermined our Constitution and we have undermined our system of justice.
Representative Bob Barr
Republican of Georgia
The step we are taking today is one I first urged nearly a year ago. All we are doing today is taking the constitutionally equivalent step of impaneling a grand jury to inquire into whether or not the evidence shall sustain that offenses have, in fact, occurred.
The passage of H.Res. 581 will mark the dawn of a new era in American Government. We are sending the American people a clear message that truth is more important than partisanship and that the Constitution cannot be sacrificed on the altar of political expediency, that no longer will we turn a blind eye to clear evidence of obstruction of justice, perjury and abuse of power.
We will be sending a message to this and all future Presidents that if, in fact, the evidence establishes that you or any future President have committed perjury, obstruction of justice, subversion of our judicial system, then we will be saying, No, sir, Mr. President, these things you cannot do.
It is our job as legislators to diagnose threats to our democracy and eliminate them. By the time the damage to our system is so great that everyone can see it, the wounds will be too deep to heal. We have already waited too long to address this issue. We must move forward quickly, courageously, fairly and most importantly, constitutionally along the one and the one and only path charted for us in the Constitution: the impeachment process.
We must do this, Mr. Speaker, so that tomorrow morning, as we in this chamber, as teachers all across America lead their students in the Pledge of Allegiance, we can look America in the eye and say, Yes, at least for today, the Constitution is alive and well.
Representative Maxine Waters
Democrat of California
The decision of the Republicans to limit the debate on this very important resolution to decide whether this body will move with an inquiry to impeach is a continuation of the partisan, unfair, inconsiderate actions that have dictated the management of this impeachment crisis since independent counsel Ken Starr dumped his referral in the laps of this Congress and in the laps of the public. This continuous, shameless and reckless disregard for the Constitution, basic civil rights and the citizens of this country cannot be tolerated.
This is a sad and painful time for all of us. The least we can do is handle this matter with dignity and fairness for everyone involved. Four and one-half years, $40 million, unnecessary subpoenas of uninvolved individuals and Mr. Starr's close relationships with groups and individuals with demonstrated hatred for the President taints the independent counsel's investigation. This Congress does not need a protracted, open-ended witch hunt of intimidation, embarrassment and harassment.
The tawdry and trashy thousands of pages of hearsay, accusations, gossips and stupid telephone chatter does not meet the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors.
The President's actions in this matter are disappointing and unacceptable but not impeachable.
Mr. Schippers, the general counsel for the Republicans, extended the allegations in search of something, anything, that may meet the Constitutional standards. Even the extended and added allegations do not comport with the Constitution.
It's time to move on. Reprimand the President. Condemn him. But let's move on. These grossly unfair procedures will only tear this Congress and this nation apart. . . .
Let us be wise enough to move forward and spend our precious time working on the issues of education, health care, senior citizens, children and in the final analysis, Mr. Speaker and ministers, justice and opportunity for all Americans.
Representative Bob Inglis
Republican of South Carolina
Of course, we do want to move along to important issues facing the country. We do want to restore freedom and health care. We do want to secure the future of Medicare and Social Security. And we do want to continue the progress toward balancing the budget. All of those things we want to do.
But I would ask my colleagues to consider this: Really, this is the crucial business of the country. This is the crucial business.
As we go into the next century, the question is, Does the truth even matter?
Now, some would say, Let's just move along. It doesn't matter. Just move along.
But if you move along, what you're leaving aside is serious allegations of serious crimes.
Representative Chet Edwards
Democrat of Texas
I'm deeply disappointed that the Republican leadership has placed an incredibly unfair gag rule on a constitutional debate of historic proportions. If this gag rule is the first test of the Republicans' fairness in this inquiry, they have failed that test.
The most important issue today, Mr. Speaker, before us is not the Nov. 3 elections or even the fate of President Clinton. The most important issue before us is the historical precedent we set in beginning the process of undoing an election for the most important office of our land.

Diabetes Health Center
Costs Are High From Undiagnosed Diabetes
May 8, 2009 -- Millions of Americans who have diabetes don't even know they have the disease, but they run up an estimated $18 billion bill in health care costs annually, a new study shows.
Scientists used data from more than 3 million people included in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to estimate costs and numbers of people in the U.S. with undiagnosed diabetes, tabulating bills for treatment of various symptoms of the disease.
Reporting in the journal Population Health Management, the researchers say their calculations suggest that about 6.3 million adults -- about a fourth of the people in the U.S. with diabetes -- have the disease but haven't been diagnosed.
This undiagnosed population accounts for about $18 billion in health care costs annually, the study shows.
Researchers examined the health care use patterns of a group of people for the two-year period leading up to their diagnosis of diabetes.
Diabetes costs the American economy about $174 billion in medical care expenses and lost productivity, based on calculations for 2007, the study shows. But that figure is a significant understatement, according to the researchers, who say costs related to undiagnosed people with diabetes could raise the total to more than $192 billion.
Annual health care needs for people with undiagnosed diabetes tend to be higher than for people who do not have the disease, the study of the federal statistics indicated.
"Diabetes is one of the most devastating chronic diseases and costs the nation billions of dollars," says David B. Nash, MD, a professor of health policy in the Jefferson School of Population Health in Philadelphia.
"Building an evidence base as to what works and what doesn't is going to be critical," he says in a news release.
The study also shows that:
- The economic cost of undiagnosed diabetes is $2,864 per person.
- Incremental costs of undiagnosed diabetes begin at least eight years before diagnosis.
- About 4%-6% of men 35 to 64 have undiagnosed diabetes.
- About 14% of men 65 to 69 have undiagnosed diabetes.
The researchers used the data to estimate total national ambulatory visits, emergency room visits, and hospital inpatient days, among other things. Medical costs associated with undiagnosed diabetes include $2.3 billion for cardiovascular disease, $720 million for hypertension, $443 million for kidney problems, and $293 million for neurological symptoms.

I know using fresh herbs to infuse oil can be dangerous as the oil might become a breeding ground for botulism. I was wondering, if I first rinse my herbs (or peppers for that matter) and then dry them for several weeks/months, would it be safe to make an infused oil with these dried herbs compared to fresh ones?
Per the University of Ohio Extension, yes, it does reduce the risk (emphasis added):
Still, reduce is not eliminate. The guidelines to not can or hold the oil for long term continue to apply.

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. (AP) -- Hot Topic's chief financial officer, Jim McGinty, has resigned.
The clothing and accessories company said Tuesday that George Wehlitz will serve as interim CFO.
McGinty, 50, had worked for Hot Topic Inc. for the past 12 years. His resignation is effective March 29.
The 52-year-old Wehlitz became vice president of finance at Hot Topic in 2008. He previously served as CFO at motorcycle clothing and accessories company Cycle Gear Inc. Before joining Cycle Gear, Wehlitz worked at Hot Topic from February 2002 through November 2005 serving as vice president, controller in 2002 and then as vice president of finance from August 2003 to November 2005.

Sony Ericsson posted their first-quarter earnings for 2011 earlier today and despite lower sales figures, their outlook is positive. Total revenue dropped 19% year-over-year to 1,145 million Euros (~$1.64 billion USD) down from 1,405 million Euros. However, the average selling price for devices increased from 134 to 141 Euros (~$202 USD). This increase was due to a move away from feature phones and towards smartphones.
With the releases of the Xperia PLAY, Xperia arc, and Xperia neo towards the end of Q1, the rest of 2011 looks to be promising for Sony Ericsson. Another factor that may play a role in SE's success is providing an unlockable bootloader on their phones, a move that's challenging where the rest of the industry seems to be headed.
Some noteworthy highlights are included with the full press release after the break. [Sony Ericsson]
