I remember KV4AD (now PJ8AD) had good results, but not much since then. They are related to the bi-square which G2PU used for years. I think the gain figures were overdone on all antennas. Some were just a guess (every 3 el tri-band beam did not have 8DB gain), some done on a testing range but fudged up, some compared to a dipole at the same height. Unfortunately there has been no standard. N4KG gave a good talk about earth gain and height in a summation moment( he had a nice chart for support). Force 12 comparison gain figures are very good for comparing one of their products to another, but not to competing products. KLM with the KT 34/KT34XA was the first to put charts in the manual for both gain and FB and these are for perfect set ups (few have the KT34XA perfectly set up). If anyone believed the figures that W3/VK was pushing for a 3 el 20 on a 12' boom or that 2el driven beam series I have a bridge near Brooklyn to sell..cheap! A quad has some gain over a dipole depending on configuaration of the loop (2 dbd for a circle to less than 1.5DB for one with odd sides etc). The Bi-square has been quoted as having nearly 4 db (d or i was the question) I remember one study (before the modeling programs which still have problems with loaded beams and odd wires) that said realistically a 2el XQ was a db or so better than a quad. MGS should have the fiberglas to at least keep it up there in the weather.

Once again this November, we will select those who will receive the authority to govern both national and local political matters. The grand question of our day is, will the trend of more of our local governance, and indeed our personal lives, be superseded by costly and ever growing federal powers?
If the latter proves to be the case, how will Washington, which is still running trillion-dollar deficits every year, continue to pay for all the financial promises that a host of Congresses going back to the 1930s have made to every state, county, municipality and person in the nation?
Laurence Kotlikoff, the prolific writer seen in the St. Louis Federal Reserve's publications, recently noted the total promised obligations just for the federal government is now about $211 trillion. Can this clear path to a national failure be corrected? Or, will the prophetic inscription carved on Camden's City Hall building — "Where There is no Vision the People Perish" — so poignantly reflecting about the certain ends of ill-conceived political schemes, be extended to the whole nation by a heavily overloaded federal promise list? Note very carefully, nowhere in history do we find anyone's personal liberty surviving economic collapse.
Indeed, every responsible economist and financial expert I have read sides with Dr. Kotlikoff's conclusions. Those who formed the Simpson Bowles Debt Commission, the Congressional Budget Office, The General Accountability Office, former Comptroller David M. Walker and a host of others who analyze our national expenditures, have made it clear, the current path of massive deficits cannot be sustained. And if that happens, everything we expect our governments, both federal and local, to do for us will just go away.
Moving on, since everyone, whether a government worker, or anyone who is, or will be a participant in a government program at some time in their lives (think Social Security, etc.), makes the coming elections quite important, and it is plain to see that re-direction has to be made.
One key factor of the national budget failure is the fact that there has been no recent federal budget passed by Congress. The Senate, for over 1,250 days, has not considered any proposed budget which the House, which is Constitutionally required to initiate, sends up for consideration, and this Senate is controlled by the Democrats, who clearly have no qualms about refusing to do their Constitutional duty.
It is time to change the line-up in the Senate, and that time is on Nov. 6.

A half-dozen Drug Enforcement Agents entered a residence at 8 Bleecker St. in Jersey City late this morning after FBI and other law enforcement officials sealed off the roadway early this morning and arrested a man on hazardous material possession charges.
Agents opened the door to the residence around 11:45 a.m. before exiting 10 minutes later. Officials did not disclose if they discovered anything inside. DEA and FBI agents re-entered the building around 12:10 p.m. A Jersey City police dog is at the scene, but has not been utilized in the building as of yet.
FBI agents and Jersey City police sealed off the area in front of 8 Bleecker St. early this morning - as well as Summit and Central Avenues - for further investigation after arresting a man around 12:30 a.m. today, an eyewitness said. The neighborhood is a residential area.
Officials said warrants had been issued at multiple locations around the city today, adding a search was under way on Tonnelle Circle.
Juliana Medina, 23, who has lived at 447 Central Ave. for the past year, said she was told she couldn't return to the building and could not go back inside. At least two neighborhood buildings were evacuated by police as a precautionary measure.
"This has never happened before in this neighborhood," Medina said, "This is a quiet area."
Medina said she received a call this morning to pick up her daughter at a nearby daycare and has been waiting outside her building since 8:30 a.m.
Yellow police caution tape has sealed off South Street and earlier officials had shut down Summit and Central avenues.
In addition to officials from the FBI and local police, agents from the DEA, bomb squad and Jersey City fire department remain on the scene along with ambulances from Jersey City Medical Center.
Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop was at the scene earlier today and was briefed by police and the FBI.
Police have declined to release additional details on the man arrested including his name, age and residence.

Today is Penn State football media day in State College, and a throng of reporters and photographers flock to Beaver Stadium for a James Franklin news conference and a look at the 2014 team. It's a unique day as players get peppered with questions in a free-for-all on the turf of Beaver Stadium.
Franklin starts the day with a news conference at 12:30 p.m., followed by remarks from assistants John Donovan, Charles Huff and Bob Shoop. Players and other assistant coaches will be available for interviews and photo opportunities on the Beaver Stadium turf around 1:30 p.m. The day concludes with a short look at the first 25 minutes of team practice.
Here's the full schedule:
12:30 p.m. - James Franklin news conference. Watch it live here.
1 p.m. - John Donovan, Charles Huff, Bob Shoop news conference
1:30 p.m. - Players and assistant coaches interviews in Beaver Stadium
4:40 p.m. - Practice begins
The times are significant for those wanting to follow along because Twitter will reflect what reporters are seeing and hearing. Who looked good in spring practice, how they're approaching the new season, the differences between the new coaching staff and last regime, and plenty more. There should be even more news with a heralded freshman class, a new strength and conditioning program and plenty of jobs up for grabs.
And while the open practice session typically features more stretching than competition, it's also a valuable opportunity to watch the newest Nittany Lions players and coaches in live action.
PennLive has a full team in State College with Audrey Snyder (@audsnyder4), Greg Pickel (@GregPickel), Bob Flounders (@BobbyFlo7), David Jones (@djoneshoop) and Joe Hermitt (@JoeHermitt).

Report addresses landfill gas pipeline injection issues

The specific gas cleanup system for each of the three cleanup technologies is not documented - can this be provided? "... three gas cleanup technologies were selected. The three specific gas cleanup technologies chosen are: • Physical Solvent • PSA (pressure swing adsorption) • Gas Separation Membrane While the gas cleanup technologies are divided into the three categories based on their CO2 removal technology, these systems utilize multiple unit operations designed to remove other components such as oxygen and water. These add-on units are located either upstream or downstream from the main cleanup system. The complete set of data is found in Appendix B and further discussed in the Task 2 report. The specific gas cleanup system is documented for each site sampled."

I was employed as an electronics technician by Western Union in Washington, D.C. from 1961 to 1964. Our office was a communications hub for all of the news agencies (AP, UPI and Reuters), businesses and government agencies. Everyone in our office had top secret security clearances because one of our functions was to maintain a tertiary bomb alarm system for the pentagon. As such, our facility was secured and could only by entered with the proper clearance.
At the time of JFK's visit to Dallas, I was working on one of the Associated Press circuits and had a monitor on the circuit. AP had certain codes for high priority news stories and I immediately saw that all wires were cleared for reports from Dallas. Everybody in the office (seven technicians) immediately started to monitor all of the news agencies circuits. Describing our feelings at the events that were coming across the wires is impossible. We were all stunned and saddened beyond description.
There was one technician in our office who was originally from the Dallas area. He walked around as if in a daze....Obviously he understood the feelings of a certain group in Dallas that did not agree with JFK's policies and he mistakenly thought that it was a conspiracy by an organized group from that area.
It was only a short time after we initially intercepted the information from the news agency wires when all of a sudden our secure area was overrun by 10 or 12 men from the secret service. We were all told to vacate the facility and do not return until notified by our management. You must understand our shock at these events. We worked under secure conditions and were of the understanding that only those of us working as electronic technicians could operate and maintain the equipment. We considered ourselves a select group that could not be easily replaced. How wrong we were!
I left the office and, not knowing when I would be allowed to return to work, decided to leave the mass confusion of Washington and return to my home in Mahanoy Plane, Pa. until I would be contacted by my supervisors. Considering the historical significance of the next couple days, it was my mistake to leave the capital for those eventful days.
I returned to work a couple days later and resumed my job with Western Union. Things were never the same in Washington. Prior to the assassination, Washington was alive with excitement and it just seemed like the place was electric at all times. As an example, when one of the heads of state visited Washington, there was always a welcoming parade. The stars and stripes and the flag of the visiting head of state were all over the place. The welcoming parade was always at lunchtime so all the office workers could join in the excitement of the parade and the military bands.
I remember when the Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, came to visit. JFK and the visiting head of state rode in an open convertible. It was a very striking sight to see JFK standing in the back of the convertible with the Emperor at his side. JFK was very young and healthy looking and tall. And there alongside him was the Emperor. At that time he was probably in his eighties. He must have been, at the very most, five feet tall, with a very weather-beaten face. But he was decked out in a military uniform with what seemed like hundreds of colorful medals. It was sight that just reminded you of the youth and vigor of not only our president but also the country.
After the assassination, I continued to work in Washington for another year. But things just were not the same. The excitement and vigor seemed to be sapped out of the city.

|Re: [TowerTalk] Possible rain soaked coax

Thats not what I mean to do. Just use an old style Ohm meter, something like the old Simpson 260 or an old Sanwa or something similar. Then use the highest ohm range, you like to be able to measure 10-20 Mohms or so. Then measure betwen braid and inner conductor. If it´s say 4-5 Mohms it´s just a little bit moist and atleast on HF it can be used, below 1-2 Mohms I wouldn´t put RF to it and if it´s down below 500koms or so it´s soaked. IMO this is the fastest and simpiest way to check if you have water in the system. Just remember if the antenna you have connected at the far end is DC grounded you have to get to that end and loosen the cable, i e it has to be a DC open cirquit when you measure.

Her name was Susan. She had long brown hair that she usually hid behind. She didn't talk much. But she was always hanging around my best friend and me, to the point where we avoided her. We didn't want to be mean. But couldn't this girl find someone else to befriend?
I had forgotten Susan until the day my 5-year-old complained about a classmate, saying, "She watches what I eat and then eats the exact same thing. I don't like it." Suddenly I remembered hiding from Susan in eighth grade.
So I called Ann Brown, a parenting instructor at Marylhurst Early Childhood Center in Oregon City who also leads private group sessions on parenting. She's also raised two sons. Here's what she had to say (comments have been edited for length and clarity):
Be receptive and empathetic: "Validate how your son feels. Make sure you're keeping all the lines of communication open to talk about stuff. (Sample parent dialogue) 'I wonder what she's trying to let you know when she does that.'
"Do a little bit of empathy-building, helping them begin to see things from another person's perspective. (Sample parent dialogue) 'She's a nice person; she just wants more than you want. She wants to be your friend all the time and play with you all the time. And it's hard to say no. But you're not responsible for her.' "
Try role-playing: "Talk about what do you do in the moment. (Sample child dialogue) 'It's kind of bugging me that you're doing that -- would you just let me eat my lunch?'
If the other child's behavior turns into teasing or stalking: "Then we go into a new thing, which is what you do when someone bullies you: You just turn to somebody else and start having a conversation. You just go about your business."
Help them with the concept of friendship: "Young kids don't always know what's OK to feel about friends. They have very rudimentary skills in loyalty -- either she's my friend or she's not my friend. You hear very young kids say, 'You're my best friend because you gave me a cookie' or 'I hate you because you took my crayon.'
"A lot of times, kids feel a displaced loyalty -- 'she's still my friend' -- kids so often fall into the problem of accepting anything a kid does to them because they're friends. Someone is not being a good friend if 'after I've spent time with her I don't feel good about myself.'
"Preschool teachers love to say 'our friends' -- kids internalize that idea of 'we're all friends' and I think we need to help them learn the difference between being friendly and respectful and how does a friend act toward a friend.
"Sometimes it's a compassionate thing to say, 'I'm going to play with my other friends now, I'm sorry you're disappointed.' Then he has fulfilled his moral obligation of being kind, but he hasn't lost himself in that."
Why the behavior from the other child? "It is definitely seeking attention, but it runs the risk of when it doesn't get attention, it then turns into teasing. Then it becomes a power thing. That's the part that, as a parent, I would try to be a little more observant about. If it's a chronic problem, maybe ask a teacher if she's seen anything."
If the behavior turns into bullying: "The idea is not 'Shut it down, put the kid in a new school.' (Instead, parents should think) 'This is a great learning opportunity for my child to learn conflict resolution skills.'
But don't sacrifice your child in the name of conflict resolution: "Always keep self-respect as the bottom foundation. (Ask your child) 'Does this feel like teasing to you? Is she laughing at you?' "
If it's your child who's being rejected: "As parents, we fall into the trap of giving 'helpful advice' on how to make friends: 'Why don't you try blah blah blah?'
"There is no recipe for making friends. You can do all the right things and someone might just not want to play with you. (Sample parent dialogue) 'It doesn't mean they don't like you; it just means that's not what they wanted to do. There's lots of other ways of being friends.'
If your child keeps being rejected: "Tell a personal story, either fictional or true, about 'I remember when I was a 5-year-old boy and I wanted to be a friend.' (Here Brown suggested telling my son my story about Susan.) The story should not have a happy ending. It's just about validating that frustration with things we can't change.
"It's hard enough as an adult to say to someone, 'You've invited me to dinner 12 times, but I just don't see it happening.' Sometimes it helps out kids just to validate, 'I know how hard that can be' -- and you don't have to have an answer. That's not our job. Our job is to let them know that we all struggle with it."
Has your child dealt with an unwanted or unwelcome friendship? Or did your child find her offers of friendship rebuffed? What did you do?
-- Amy Wang; email@example.com

As a copywriter, I like to find great ideas I can use right away in my daily copywriting work. I discovered these tips in the article "What can we learn from the 'real world'?" written by Steve Crescenzo in the November/December 2011 issue of Communication World, the magazine published by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC).
When it comes to writing great headlines, Steve says you have to look no further than Cosmopolitan. Yes, that's right, the woman's magazine Cosmo, famous for its provocative headlines. The magazine uses several simple tactics that draw readers in.and get them to buy magazines.
1. "The list". People like lists that offer an opportunity to learn a number of points about a specific topic. For Cosmo, these include: "10 Things You Should Never Say to a Guy" or "13 Things that Make Him Act Totally Bitchy". If you're writing for a business audience you can use "7 Simple SEO Tips to Increase Your Web Traffic". Another benefit of using lists is they provide an outline or frame for your article, breaking the content into easy to read sections.
2. The "direct address" or "it's all about YOU". Talking directly to your readers gets their attention. Which headline would make you want to read more: "How to Tell if a Man is Keeping Secrets" or "10 Secrets Your Man is Keeping From You"? Exactly.
3. The "dot, dot, dot". To really get a reader to take notice, ask them a question followed by an ellipsis (...). "Are You Obsessed..." or "Have You Discovered Your...". What is this obsession or life-changing discovery they don't know about, the reader will ask --and read on to find out.
Thank you to Steve Crescenzo for the inspired headline writing lesson. Since I've read these tips I've been using them whenever possible, in my own writing and in the articles I edit for a client's newsletter.
Here are two more tips to optimize your headlines for online writing.
Use keywords. Remember to use the top keyword in your headline. Be sure to repeat this keyword in the first paragraph, in the first line if possible.
Don't forget Twitter. It is always satisfying for a writer to have their work appreciated, and the "retweet" is the "thumbs up" for the digital age. Think about how easy it is for others to publish your headline on Twitter. In the tweet put your URL right after your headline and finish up with a call to action.

RALEIGH, N.C. (October 10, 2007) -- Progress Energy has reached agreements with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service relating to fish passage at the company's Tillery and Blewett hydroelectric plants. The agreements represent an important milestone in the relicensing process for the plants, which are located on the Pee Dee River in central North Carolina.
The agreements represent collaborative efforts that included North Carolina and South Carolina state resource agencies. Under the agreements, a fish passage facility will be built and will begin operation by 2013. Fish will be captured, sorted and transported by tanker truck to unloading areas above the Blewett and Tillery dams. The plan will focus on the long-term enhancement of two major migratory species, American shad and American eel, in the Yadkin - Pee Dee River Basin.
"These agreements provide a balanced, scientific approach to passing these species upstream of our power plants," said John Crutchfield, lead environmental specialist for Progress Energy. "They are the culmination of two years of negotiations among all parties to reach a mutually agreeable solution to enhance this migratory fish resource."
Progress Energy's hydroelectric plants constitute a significant part of the company's overall electricity generation capacity. The Tillery and Blewett plants provide customers in the Carolinas with low-cost, environmentally friendly power, as well as boating and fishing opportunities created by Lake Tillery and Blewett Falls Lake.
The relicensing process for the Tillery and Blewett hydroelectric plants began in 2003. As it has throughout the process, Progress Energy continues to work with the communities and stakeholders affected by the plants. "The four-year process has produced a balanced solution for the long-term management of water and other natural, recreational and cultural resources of the Yadkin - Pee Dee River," said Larry Mann, Progress Energy's hydro relicensing project manager.
The National Marine Fisheries Service is a division of the Department of Commerce responsible for the stewardship of the nation's living marine resources and their habitat. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a bureau within the Department of the Interior whose mission is to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
Progress Energy, headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., is a Fortune 250 energy company with more than 21,000 megawatts of generation capacity and $10 billion in annual revenues. The company includes two major utilities that serve more than 3.1 million customers in the Carolinas and Florida. Progress Energy is the 2006 recipient of the Edison Electric Institute's Edison Award, the industry's highest honor, in recognition of its operational excellence. The company also is the first utility to receive the prestigious J.D. Power and Associates Founder's Award for customer service. Progress Energy serves two fast-growing areas of the country, and the company is pursuing a balanced approach to meeting the future energy needs of the region. That balance includes increased energy efficiency programs, investments in renewable energy technologies and a state-of-the-art electricity system.

We report a novel forward-imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT), needle-probe paired-angle-rotation scanning OCT (PARS-OCT) probe. The probe uses two rotating angled gradient-index lenses to scan the output OCT probe beam over a wide angular arc ( half-angle) of the region forward of the probe. Among other advantages, this probe design is readily amenable to miniaturization and is capable of a variety of scan modes, including volumetric scans. To demonstrate the advantages of the probe design, we have constructed a prototype probe with an outer diameter of and employed it to acquire four OCT images, with a 45° angle between adjacent images, of the gill structure of a Xenopus laevis tadpole. The system sensitivity was measured to be by using the prototype probe with an illumination power of on the sample. Moreover, the axial and the lateral resolutions of the probe are 9.3 and , respectively.

TWIN LAKES - Launching a potato from a large slingshot mounted between fence posts is easy enough - just pull back and let go.
Hitting one of the cardboard targets downrange with the raw spud might be another story.
Amber Jergens, 13, of Auburn, and her brother, Zach Jergens, 10, gave it their best try at the annual PumpkinFest at Twin Lakes Bible Camp Saturday.

Mark Christinsen, of Des Moines, launches a pumpkin down range Saturday morning with the homebuilt pumpkin cannon he made during the annual PumpkinFest at Twin Lakes Bible Camp. The gourds were flying several hundred yards. The event continues from 1 to 5 p.m. today with a variety of family activities.

Gideon Davis, 4, of Omaha, decides that getting off the walking rope and back on the ground might be OK as he attends the annual PumpkinFest at Twin Lakes Bible Camp with his dad, Jeff Davis.
-Messenger photo by Hans Madsen
Parker Seehusen, 4, gets a helping hand from his dad, Mike, to drop a disc into an extra large version of Connect 4 Saturday morning at the annual PumpkinFest at Twin Lakes Bible Camp. Holly Seehusen, at left, waits her turn. The object is to get four like-colored discs in a row.
Zach Jergens said he was connecting with about half of them.
Amber Jergens didn't keep track, but when she did connect the tater broke up in a starchy spray of fragments.
"That was some awesome," Zach Jergens shouted.
His second reaction ?
"Can I eat it?" he asked his mom Angie, a vendor at the event.
"No," she replied. "It's a raw potato."
Of course, that might not be the real reason.
"Are raw potatoes poisonous?" he asked.
While not toxic, they are serving as a substitute for the apples usually sent down range at the event.
Scott Larsen, executive director of Twin Lakes Bible Camp explained why.
He said apples have gotten expensive due to frost and drought.
"Potatoes are the only thing that's gone down in price," he said.
He said he's proud of the new attractions added this year. They include large versions of the games Connect Four, Kerplunk and Jenga built by camp staff. He's also moved the 170 bushel corn pool outside under a picnic shelter and added a tight rope walk, zip line and a bungee jump/trampoline combination.
While this weekend features various artisan crafters, next weekend will feature a quilt display in the round barn on the property. The structure, built sometime in the 1910s was moved from a nearby farm in 1993 and restored.
The pumpkin cannon is also back this year.
Built and operated by Mark Christinsen, of Des Moines, it can send a small pumpkin 300 yards down range on 50 pounds of air pressure. At 120 pounds, it's full capacity, and it can go a bit further.
"Right over the whole camp," he said.
For sealing up the payload, he uses a small plastic bucket.
It works much like the plastic wad in a shotgun shell, he said.
The first gourd launched Saturday survived intact;the second shot developed a small issue.
"Oh man," he said as the charge burst from the barrel. "My bucket broke."
For Jeff Davis, of Omaha, getting to go beyond watching his son Gideon, 4, play the games is a treat.
He enjoyed them too, including the potato slingshot.
"I could probably play that a long time," he said. "It's a great way to enjoy your kids."
Some visitors were a little more hesitant.
Marlys Schoon, of Manson, was one of those.
Was a few minutes on the slingshot to launch a small bucket of spuds downrange going to be part of her day?
"We'll see," she said.
The PumpkinFest continues today from 1 to 5 p.m. Next weekend the hours are Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. On Beggars Night, it opens at 3:30 p.m. The movie "Monsters Inc." will be shown.

If one good thing comes from the Winter Meetings, it's an increase in baseball chatter.
And if the latest chatter is any indication, we could have a new closer as early as today. David Lennon at Newsday says the Mets are close to landing Francisco Rodriguez to a 3-year, $36 million deal:
The Mets appeared to be closing fast on a deal for Francisco Rodriguez late Monday night after another productive round of meetings with K-Rod's agent, Paul Kinzer. The two sides made significant progress Sunday over dinner on the eve of the winter meetings, then took a giant step forward on Day One at the Bellagio.I'm liking this aggressive move by the Mets and Minaya. K-Rod's the best closer out there, the Mets want him, they're moving to get him. I've taken Minaya to task in fear of the Mets replicating a Santana-like standoff regarding the new closer, taking too long and letting other options sign elsewhere. I hear chatter like this and it's reassuring.
Despite an opening offer of two years and roughly $24 million that included a vesting option for a third, it now seems that the Mets and K-Rod are prepared to agree on a three-year deal that should also be worth about $12 million per season. As one person familiar with the situation explained on Monday, the initial offer was part of a feeling-out process that would likely result in a three-year deal.
Kinzer told reporters here late Monday night that he was "optimistic" after his latest sitdown with the Mets, who should be thrilled to begin their holiday shopping with such a relative bargain.
In other action, Dan Graziano of the Star-Ledger says the Mets and Red Sox are talking Brian Schnieder:
A person familiar with the discussions, who declined to be identified because he's not authorized to speak publicly about them, confirmed that the Red Sox and the Mets were discussing a deal that would send catcher Brian Schneider to Boston.There isn't any indication as of yet in terms of what the Mets would get from Boston. There's also the issue of finding a new catcher, as Ramon Castro's durability is not his strong suit.
According to this person, the Mets would only do the deal if they were sure they could get a catcher in another deal or free agency. The free-agent catching pool is weak, though the Mets have, during this off-season, expressed at least some tepid interest in guys like Jason Varitek and Pudge Rodriguez.
But it's chatter. Good ol' fashioned baseball chatter.
Around the Web
The Veterans Committee elected former Yankees 2B Joe Gordon to the Baseball Hall of Fame yesterday. Sadly, Gil Hodges finished with only 28 of the 48 votes from the Veterans Committee necessary for enshrinement.
On the eve of the Mets potentially landing their next closer, Brad Bortone of Bugs and Cranks reminds us all that Minaya still has yet to make significant moves for the Mets' other needs this offseason.
Over at FakeTeams, raygu offered up 6 trades he felt made sense for both teams. Among them:
San Diego trades RP Heath Bell and OFer Brian Giles to the Mets for Fernando Martinez and RP Aaron Heilman. The Mets get their LFer and an on-base machine in Giles to hit in front of Beltran, Wright and Delgado. They get Bell to set up one of K-Rod/Fuentes. The Padres continue to slash payroll and get their CFer of the future, and slot Heilman in their starting rotation where he could thrive in that ballpark.
I'd do that deal, but doing it would mean Minaya has to admit a mistake in originally sending away Bell. And that's why it won't happen. Nice to dream, though.
Sifting through the wheat and chaff can be difficult during the Winter Meetings. But if you want to keep up to date on all the comings and goings in Vegas, you really need to check out MetsBlog.com. Say what you will about their "analysis," but Cerrone's on top of the Mets-related chatter better than anyone.

To the Editor:
I am writing to tell a tale of two mayors. When Lorene Dadey was mayor of East Syracuse, taxes were cut for village residents. As soon as Dan Liedka left the mayor's office, the board had to raise taxes 22 percent. Though he was not in office, the board that was there is mopping up his mess. And he wants another term as a county legislator? That is why I am supporting Lorene Dadey. She showed me what she was made of when she was mayor. We need her in the county legislature!

PERTH AMBOY — A state corrections officer was arrested and charged with buying drugs moments before police were about to raid the alleged dealer's home, authorities said.
Miguel Angel Rosario, 44, was arrested Friday, along with the suspected dealer, Cesar Valentine Sosa-Abreu, 37, in the area of High Street and Hall Avenue on Friday, police said.
Officers then took Sosa-Abreu back to his apartment at 308 Hall Ave., executed a search warrant and found more than half an ounce of cocaine worth an estimated $8,500, authorities said.
Rosario is identified as a senior corrections officer at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Clinton Township.
Sosa-Abreu's girlfriend, Deini Reyes-Solano, 34, who lives in the same apartment, was also arrested, police said.
Officers also confiscated packaging material and a digital scale, city police said.
Authorities say police had Sosa-Abreu under surveillance when they saw him sell drugs to Rosario.
Sosa-Abreu and Reyes-Solano were charged with possession of cocaine and possession with intent to distribute. Rosario was charged with possession of cocaine and conspriacy to possess cocaine.

I don't know if it will be with the Celtics, but Sam Cassell says he's coming back for another season.
I'm playing next year, playing my 16th year," Cassell said without hesitation. "After winning a championship, it's just so hard to walk away from that. Certain guys did it, but as I tell the guys, every great movie has a sequel. And since we consider ourselves a great team, we've got to go and repeat."
Sounds like he's expecting to come back to Boston.
Sam has proven himself to be a shoot-first guy, and he was detrimental enough to the cause that Eddie House ended up getting most of his minutes back.
Would Sam be different if he goes through a training camp? Would he be more on board with the rest of the offense? Is anyone here open to that?

I always liked the springs, but never really liked the harshness of bumps. This new set is completely different even though its the same springs!

Jurors in the capital murder trial of a man accused of killing a Pelham police officer were shown a video today that was recorded around midnight Dec. 3, 2009, on Interstate 65.
In the audio of the tape, Officer Philip Davis can be heard telling Bart Wayne Johnson he had stopped him for speeding, asking him if he has his driver's license, and whether the car belongs to him.
Johnson replies that, no, he just stole it.
"I'm glad you're in a jovial mood," Davis says.
Davis is heard saying he asked that queston because sometimes when people borrow somone's car, they don't know where the proof of insurance is. Davis can be heard saying, "I'll be right back."
Traffic can be heard in the background. Davis returns to the car. There is an inaudible portion of the tape. At some point during the conversion between the two, Davis asks Johnson where he worked, and according to prosecutors, Johnson did not tell him.
On the tape, Johnson can be heard telling Davis that Johnson's brother is a cop. Davis responded that now Johnson wanted to start acting reasonable.
Davis told Johnson to have his brother call him, and that he would tell him how Johnson acted toward him, "and we'll see how that works out."
Davis is not heard again.
Voices can be heard, sirens, and officers talking to Davis, telling him "come on baby, come on man" and telling him to hang on.
After an inaudible portion of the tape, it goes goes silent.
Family members and friends of both Davis and Johnson could be seen crying in the courtroom when the lights came on.
The trial broke for lunch and will resume at 1:45 today.

New Jersey moved toward becoming the first state to require both pregnant women and some newborns to be tested for HIV, despite opposition from groups who say doing so violates a woman's civil rights.
The bill (S2704) would require all pregnant women be tested for HIV twice, once early in the pregnancy and a second time in the third trimester, unless the mother asks not to be tested.
It would require newborns to be tested if either the mother has tested positive or her HIV status is unknown at time of birth.
Senate President Richard Codey (D-Essex), a bill sponsor, cited a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that found medical treatment during pregnancy can slash the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission from 25 percent to 2 percent.
"The sooner pregnant women can be tested for the HIV infection, the sooner they can be treated," said state Health and Senior Services Commissioner Fred Jacobs, who endorsed the bill during today's hearing by the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee, which approved the bill. ¶
Deborah Jacobs, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey executive director, said the bill "needlessly sacrifices the rights of women and parents" and "deprives women of their moral authority to make decisions for themselves and for children."

Fire levy will maintain quality service | Letters
We are fortunate to have many advantages in our community, one of the most important being the quality of our fire protection and emergency services.
South King Fire and Rescue is asking for our help to keep it that way. Recent dollar cutbacks have already forced a reduction in personnel, and further reduction would result in a significantly adverse effect upon their vital services.
If you have ever had a friend or relative assisted by the EMTs, you know how important their care can be, and the quality of our fire department saves us all money in reduced insurance premiums.
Please join us in voting for the maintenance levy requested by South King Fire and Rescue.

Sunshine and music at Poulsbo Americana Music Festival | Slideshow
POULSBO — Molly Walmsley handled her rock debut with grace and humor Saturday.
The 15-year-old Kingston High School sophomore followed veteran rock guitarist Glen Bui's introduction with, "I'm just glad I didn't trip in front of everybody," a reference to her high wedges. Then, she and Magic Carpet Ride launched into Lynyrd Skynyrd's Southern rock classic, "Simple Man."
The applause was among the most enthusiastic of the day.
Molly, an aspiring singer who has a YouTube channel, responded to an invitation to rehearse with Bui and Magic Carpet Ride, which is comprised of some former members of Steppenwolf. That led to an invitation to join the band on stage at Poulsbo's Americana Music Festival Sept. 8 at Muriel Iverson Williams Waterfront Park.
The park was crowded with people enjoying sunshine, live music and a variety of food vendors. Children played in a bouncy house and cooled off in a dunk tank; with temperatures in the 80s, getting dunked was a pleasure. Families decorated bowls for Fishline's Empty Bowls Benefit; in January, for a donation, people will enjoy a meal of soup and bread at Gateway Fellowship Church, and will keep the bowl as a reminder of the empty bowls of many residents in North Kitsap.
Festival admission was free, but donations were accepted for Coffee Oasis, which is building a center for homeless teens in Poulsbo.
The festival, which was founded as a tribute to the victims and heroes of 9/11, began with an opening ceremony and 9/11 remembrance. It was the first tribute of several planned this week.
Tuesday from 7-10 a.m., North Kitsap Fire & Rescue commissioners, firefighters and staff members host their annual community breakfast at the district's Paul T. Nichol headquarters fire station, 26642 Miller Bay Road NE, Kingston. There will be no charge for breakfast — which will include bagels, cheeses, croissants, fresh fruit, granola and yogurt — but donations will be accepted for the North Kitsap Schools Foundation to restore enrichment and remediation programs that have been cut from local elementary schools because of budget constraints.
"It's become NKF&R's tradition to remember the many people lost on that terrible day 11 years ago, by bringing neighbors together to strengthen community ties as well as to benefit organizations with the same goals," spokeswoman Michele Laboda emailed.
Poulsbo American Legion Post 245, along with City of Poulsbo, Poulsbo Fire Department, Poulsbo Police, Kitsap County Sheriff's Department, and Naval Base Kitsap, sponsors its annual "9/11 Memory Walk" on Tuesday. The walk will start at 10 a.m. at the lower lot of the Poulsbo Parks and Recreation Building at 19540 Front St. with music provided by Navy Band Northwest. The walk will start when bells from local churches begin ringing.
The walk will proceed down NE Sunset Street and NE Jensen Way and end at the American Legion Park on Front Street, a three-quarter mile level walking route.
Jeff Petersen of Olympic Printer Resources said residents can join in the walk to remember the firefighters, police, military personnel and civilians who died in the 9/11 attacks.

OK, here we go! In depth video reviews to follow, we got footage of the majority of these skis.
Conditions: firm hardpack, firm bumps, a little windblown in up top. Great conditions for skis up to 95mm or so, 95-100 was OK, anything above that was a chore in steep firm bumps and firm groomers, so we shied away from them after skiing the Scout and Vagabond in those conditions, both of which didn't take to aggressive skiing on hardpack bumps.
This is a summary of both Kevin's impressions and my own. He is a superb bump skier, really solid all-mountain skier, can ski anything and fast. I am not as good a bumper, similar in steeps and trees, probably get more edge angles on the groomers.
I also noted Finndog's thoughts, as we skied together for a few runs! Hope to get some more turns in Steamboat soon!
We did 3-4 runs on each ski, except for the groomer skis.
70-80mm skis: great for this firm hardpack. You have to really be aggressive and committed early in the turn, big High-C move to get skis to grip on scrubbed off hardpack. Early in the day was easier.
Kastle RX12 176cm: a real powerhouse, no surprises here. Damp, smooth, stable, fun
Head i-Speed 180cm: probably the best pure carver for a big turn GS ski I have ever been on. 175cm would have been the perfect length for a throw it down the fall line ski for me personally, 180cm needs room to run!
Head i-SL 165cm: no holds barred carver, super fun, I had to stay on it, but precise, and along with the RX12 and i-Speed, the only ski that would really hold at big edges on the steep manmade stuff.
80-90mm skis: great conditions for this group. We focused on skis that were more off-piste in flavor, as neither of us were excited about skiing firm groomers.
Head i-Titan ERA 3.0 81mm waist: wow, what a fun carver! Super quick, stable, and energetic. High end ski with forgiveness, traditional Head feel, superb!
Nordica Steadfast: great hard snow ski and in the junk, fun on groomers. A little stiff and underdamped for bumps, could be softened up for more versatility.
Kastle MX83: no surprises, probably the best frontside ski around, bias toward groomers over bumps. Grips like no other 80mm ski.
Kastle FX84 176cm: not quite the groomer ripper the MX83 was, but for off-piste skiing, bumps, crud and trees, there is no better ski in this category. I will be purchasing a pair, I feel this is the best ski you can buy if you live for off-piste conditions and are skiing firm snow much of the time.
Blizzard Magnum 8.5ti: still a superb ski, plenty of power for the groomers, when laying it over, yet a great bump ski, and a riot in moderate crud. One of the best, if it was just a couple of cm longer, maybe 177cm, it would be perfect for me.
Blizzard Brahma 180cm: Compared to the 8.5ti, I prefer the former. The Brahma is not as good in aggressive bumps (too much rocker, weird in extension), skis short, doesn't have the power of the 8.5ti. Seems more like a "mellow" version of that ski for those who want a less aggressive ski in that category. Finndog, who owns the 8.5ti, agreed, as did Kevin. 8.5ti does everything a little better and is more fun, but you do have to pay more attention to it.
Dynastar Outland 87: very sweet, great tip and tail flex, grippy on softer snow, a bit overwhelmed on the really firm stuff. Made for soft groomers, bumps and trees, super forgiving and no loss of performance compare to others.
Head REV 85: this ski continues to impress. Kevin, a very accomplished bump skier, found this to be one of his top 3 bump skis. Great carver and in junk snow too. Tip is a little soft for really hauling, but a serious performer in the trees, bumps, and at reasonable groomer speeds.
90-100mm skis: starting to get a little wide for the conditions, but still manageable
Kastle FX94; small update, still a superb ski. Kevin's #2 in the bumps, says something for a wide ski. No speed limit, superb snow feel, still a solid carver, but really at home off-piste. Lack of new snow really meant we couldn't tell much about the new early rise tip. Could be the only ski many people own.
Stockli Stormrider 95: maybe the best ski I have ever been on. It was one of the top 3 skis in bumps, held better on firm snow than most of the 80-90mm group, was super easy and forgiving, and had the stability of a 183cm (I skied 174cm). What a ski! Only issue is the relatively short length for new snow.
Stockli Stormrider 100: same performance as the 95, but even quicker with a 17mm radius. There is video of me running railroad tracks on this ski, not something I normally trust to a ski this wide, because they wash out and track funny. Not this ski. Also awesome in bumps and junk snow, I ripped through a tree section that Finndog showed me, with total confidence. Great ski.
Head REV 90: really sweet off-piste ski. Doesn't have the grip of the Stocklis, but otherwise comparable, save for a bit more damp feel than the Stockli, which was quite lively for the Swiss company. Felt more like the FX94 but with a softer tip and a bit more damp.
Blizzard Bonafide 180cm: solid ski, but too stiff for me, too much work in bumps and trees. I am much more of a Kabookie fan (not tested here). The Peacemaker handled the conditions better as well.
100mm+ skis: we only tested 2, the conditions were poor. Too much work to stay in the zipper line on a planky wide ride. We skied the Blizzard Scout, Blizzard Peacemaker, and Nordica Vagabond. They were pretty much out of their element, although the Peacemaker was manageable in bumps except for the lack of tail. Will review under more appropriate conditions.
Here is a quick photo segment of what happens when you ski firm steep bumps and screw up your pole plant and don't get your feet pushed down the other side. "How not to ski bumps!" Even the sweet FX84 couldn't save my butt.

The city has changed its mind on 46 acres near Nike and will go to the Supreme Court
July 19, 2006
By David R. Anderson
BEAVERTON -- A divided Beaverton City Council has reversed an earlier decision and will appeal an annexation loss to the Oregon Supreme Court.
City officials had the change of heart because another property owner is trying to use the same legal strategy to get out of the city after being forced in, city attorney Alan Rappleyea said.
"We might as well raise it ourselves," Rappleyea said.
The appeal is one more legal entanglement for Beaverton over its aggressive annexation policy adopted in fall 2004. The council started forcibly annexing islands surrounded by the city to increase property tax revenues and to make the city's boundaries more logical.
In the case considered Monday night, Wells Real Estate Funds had appealed the council's forced annexation of about 46 acres west of the Nike campus in February 2005 from unincorporated Washington County.
The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled Beaverton leaders were wrong to annex only parts of a large area surrounded by city borders instead of taking in the whole island. The court said Wells was not surrounded by the city because it bordered Nike's campus, which remains in the unincorporated county.
The council voted unanimously June 21 not to appeal the ruling.
But that changed to a 3-1 vote with one abstention Monday night.
What changed in the meantime is that leaders of Leupold & Stevens, a sports optics manufacturer on Northwest Greenbrier Parkway, told the appeals court that the Wells ruling should apply to them because it remains bordered by unincorporated property. The city also annexed Leupold against its wishes in 2005. The appeals court has rejected Leupold & Stevens' case on other grounds, but lawyers representing the company are asking the court to reconsider.
Councilors Cathy Stanton, Dennis Doyle and Betty Bode voted Monday night to appeal the Wells case. The council made the decision after a two-hour closed-door executive session. Councilors said little Monday night to explain their votes.
On Tuesday, Stanton said she thought all along the city should appeal but acquiesced to the majority in the first vote. Doyle said the issue was important enough to get a definitive ruling from the Oregon Supreme Court.
"Obviously it's a hot issue for a lot of people in a lot of cities," Doyle said.
Bode did not return a phone call Tuesday seeking comment.
Councilor Bruce Dalrymple, who was not on the council in 2004 when councilors adopted the annexation policy, said Tuesday that he opposes forced annexations. And he views the appeal as one more unnecessary irritation to Nike.
"It just adds fuel to fire, and I don't want to do that," Dalrymple said. "I'd like to foster better relations with Nike."
Councilor Catherine Arnold abstained. She said Tuesday that she didn't have enough information Monday night on how the ruling might affect other cities.

What if the best way to stop a tumor is not to kill it, but to turn it into something else? That's the idea behind differentiation therapy, a novel concept that targets cancer stem cells. Scientists at Sanford-Burnham and elsewhere are beginning to think that stem cells may be the culprit behind tumor formation in some cancers. Much like other types of stem cells, cancer stem cells are presumably able to do two things: 1) self-renew, generating more new stem cells and 2) differentiate, giving rise to a variety of cell types. Differentiation therapy attempts to end the cycle of self-renewal by encouraging the cells to settle down and become a specific cell type, such as a skin cell.
"It seems to me that if we are smart enough to know all the genes in a cell, we should be smart enough to tell the cell what to do," says Dr. Robert Oshima, co-director of the Sanford-Burnham Cancer Center's Tumor Development Program. "In differentiation therapy, we are essentially telling cells: 'Don't become criminals, become productive members of society. If you stay legal, we'll leave you alone.'"
In collaboration with associate professor Dr. Masanobu Komatsu and others, Dr. Oshima led a recent study that provides strong evidence in favor of differentiation therapy. In the study, which was published online today by the journal Oncogene, an aggressive mouse model of breast cancer was treated with Bosutinib (SKI-606), a drug currently being developed by Pfizer Research to treat advanced malignant tumors.
What resulted from Bosutinib treatment? Perhaps not surprisingly, the drug prevented the appearance of tumors in more than half of the treated mice and reduced tumor growth in older animals with preexisting tumors. The real shocker was the reason these tumors stopped growing. Bosutinib treatment was successful not because it directly killed the cancer cells, but because it induced their differentiation. In other words, tumors in the treated mice experienced another fate; they contained a lot of normal, functioning tissue not seen in the untreated mice. These benign tissues behaved like normal skin cells or milk-producing cells of the mammary gland rather than as undifferentiated cancer stem cells.
Differentiation therapy is an attractive alternative to chemotherapy and radiation, which kill any cell whether cancerous or not. According to Dr. Oshima, "Older treatments for cancer are almost as bad as the disease. Cancer cells are simply poisoned or burned, while doctors try their best to limit the side effects by reducing the collateral damage to other tissues."
Dr. Oshima and his team are now searching for other drugs that might induce cancer stem cell differentiation in order to stop tumors at their earliest stages.
"The ultimate dream would be to design a pill that high-risk women take just once a year to prevent breast tissue stem-like cells from becoming breast cancer," said Dr. Oshima.

It took a bipartisan effort by the House of Representatives to repeal cuts to pensions for working-age military retirees. That work is reflective of the importance of the vote, according to Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Birmingham.
"I proudly voted in favor of restoring pension cuts for military retirees," Sewell said. "Our veterans serve honorably to keep our nation safe and I am pleased that Congress is honoring the commitment our country made to them."
The measure, which passed the House on a vote of 326-90 received unanimous support from the Alabama delegation. The cuts were first included in the two-year budget agreement that ended the October government shutdown.
The bill restores the pension in exchange for extending sequestration cuts to mandatory spending under Medicare for one year, pushing it back from 2023 to 2024. That extension creates about $2.3 billion in savings. The changes to military pensions would save about $6 billion over the next decade.
While she supported the bill, Sewell said she was not pleased with the short-term funding method used to pay for the change.
"It is my hope that we find a solution that responsibly funds our government and the vital programs my constituents rely upon," Sewell said.
The bill, which now heads to the Senate, was opposed in the House by 19 Republican and 71 Democrats.

Tom Cruise, Miley Cyrus Join Jay Leno's first primetime week
It was announced last week that Jerry Seinfeld will be the first guest on NBC's "The Jay Leno Show," but the stars keep coming for the comic's opening week in primetime.
It was announced on Friday (Aug. 28) that after Seinfeld (with musical guests Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West) on Monday, Tuesday will see none other than couch-jumping A-lister Tom Cruise. Robin Williams and Hannah "Miley Cyrus" Montana will appear on Wednesday. Catwoman (Halle Berry, if you prefer) will be joined by Bruce Hornsby and Eric Clapton on Thursday. And carrying Friday alone is Drew Barrymore.
That lineup is far better than the opening week for Conan O'Brien's "The Tonight Show," which may have something to do with why "The Tonight Show" remains in a ratings slump against David Letterman.

Poll numbers don't mean a whole lot now, since we all know the winner of Saturday's SEC championship game will punch a ticket for the BCS title game in Pasadena.
But the Associated Press poll has Alabama No. 2 again this week behind Florida and barely ahead of Texas.
(If you're curious, here's an explanation from one AP voter who has had the Crimson Tide No. 1 for much of the season)
Meanwhile, Alabama remained third in the USA Today coaches' poll behind Florida and Texas.
New BCS standings are due out later today, though I'd expect the Tide to remain No. 2 behind the Gators there, too.

Republicans say they're eager for the presidential campaign to turn away from "distractions" and focus instead on the economy. Someone should warn them that if they're not careful, they might get their wish.
It is true that voters' unhappiness with high unemployment and slow growth poses a challenge for President Obama as he seeks re-election. But for Mitt Romney and the GOP to take advantage of this potential opening, they'll have to do more than chant the word "economy" like a mantra. They have to make the case that their policies will work better than Obama's.
