A new vaccine hindered the often-abused prescription opioids oxycodone and hydrocodone from entering the brain and suppressed one of the drugs' signature central nervous system effects. The findings warrant continued development of the vaccine as a potential aid in the treatment of oxycodone and hydrocodone abuse and dependence.

Clinical trials of N-acetylcysteine to help people recovering from drug abuse avoid relapse have demonstrated only moderate efficacy. New NIDA-supported research shows that while a low dose of the medication activates receptors associated with lowered drug-seeking behavior, a higher dose appears to activate receptors associated with increased drug-seeking behavior. The result suggests that a medication or combination of medications that stimulate the receptor GluR2/3 and block mGluR5 may work better than N-acetylcysteine alone.

Brand new HR-34. HR-34->Onkyo Receiver->Panny TV. The 3D channels in the guide show up as greyed out, as in not available to me. The DirecTV installer said I need to connect it directly to the TV to get 3D. Well, the HR-24 that I unplugged and plugged the HR-34 into the same coax and HDMI worked great through the receiver for 3D. I literally just swapped the boxes, and now the HR-34 doesn't see my Panny as 3D capable, even though I've been watching 3D for a year with an HR-24 on it.
Any ideas?

Same problem on my Onkyo HT-S5500 with HR-34.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 08:21 PM
The only advice I can give is to power up the TV and AVR before powering up the HR34. Not a perfect solution, but I've found it to work the best of anything else.

Same problem here. If I switch my denon receiver to PS3 and back to the HR34 it will show up. As the other poster said though, power up order and timing matters. The Harmony One remote I have is very powerful, but it is annoyingly difficult to get this right with one button startup. I tried for about an hour to get the stupid remote to do it automatically and couldn't do it. So I just switch inputs when it's greyed.
Posted 06 February 2013 - 10:36 AM
Shouldn't be that hard to get the Harmony to work. There is a section where you can tell it what order to turn the devices on so you can change that. I'm pretty sure you can also add in a delay in between powering the devices on, but you might have to call tech support to get that added. It's been a while since I've had to mess with programming any of my Harmonys.
Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

Bucs cut eight, including Hart
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
Kevin Hart was among eight players cut by the Pirates on Tuesday morning. Hart was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis, which would seem to take him out of the running for the fifth spot in the rotation. Though nothing has been announced as of now, it's expected that this means Daniel McCutchen will be the Pirates' fifth starter to begin the season.
Chris Jakubauskas and Neil Walker were also optioned to Triple-A this morning. Brian Myrow, Brian Burres, Wil Ledezma, Jean Machi and Hector Gimenez reassigned to Minor League camp.
There are now 37 players in Major League camp.
UPDATED at 9:12 am:
Here are some quotes from GM Neal Huntington:
On Hart being optioned: "There's going to be a lot made that he lost the fifth starter job. We've got one start between now and April 24 when our fifth starter will be used. Kevin Hart has some work to do. We're excited about the potential. We love the stuff. He didn't pitch well this Spring Training, and as of now, Daniel McCutchen outpitched him and will be our starter for April 11. Daniel has a chance to put a stranglehold on the job with what he does between now and April 11, what he does on April 11, and we he does after. It means that Kevin Hart has some work to do. We're excited about his upside. We felt it was best to take him out of camp right now to be able to solidify some things mechanically and be able to get him to trust his stuff and make it play at the Major League level at some point for us.
"It's not all mental. It's the passion and the desire to do well that sometimes inhibits the mechanics. We're making a lot out of a pitcher struggling this spring. In Kevin's situation, it's a matter of getting the emotions and the adrenaline out of the way."
On what McCutchen showed this spring: "We talked about it coming in that we had a competition with those two. Daniel stepped forward. He's shown an average to solid Major League fastball. The slider is a good improvement for him this year. He's got an above-average Major League changeup with quality command. That's a good Major League pitcher. Daniel has earned this opportunity and what he does with it decides where we go from here."
On plan for Walker in Triple-A: "Neil's going to be one of those players who has the opportunity to become an everyday big-leaguer by being a role player initially. He's going to get time at third, time in the outfield, time at first and, as we get comfortable, some time at second base. He's had a great approach this spring. He just wants to help the Pittsburgh Pirates win. He's maturing with the bat. He's not giving away the at-bats we've seen in the past, and his work has been outstanding. He's bounced around the field, taken balls off the bat with two different groups, then hit with the third group. It's a lot of work, and Neil's really stepped up this spring."
On plan for Jakubauskas in Triple-A: "He may need to come up and make some starts for us. He needs to go down there and build some arm strength. We didn't see the same arm strength this spring as what we saw with Seattle. There's a difference there. It's a couple miles an hour, but it's made a difference for Chris."

Day 4: Daily Squeeze
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
One thing I learned in journalism school was that you know you've done your job as a reporter when you have so many notes for one story that you are forced to throw three-fourths of them out because you don't have enough space. That was close to the case this afternoon as I was working on a feature about Tony Sanchez, the Pirates' first-round Draft pick last year.
First off, Sanchez is a delight to talk with. Very engaging. Very cordial. Seems genuinely appreciative for the chance to be at Major League camp. But the praise he has already been receving from others was what really struck me. You'll find much of that in the story on the main pirates.com site shortly.
But because I wasn't able to use half of the information I collected, I wanted to share one thing from Sanchez that didn't make it into my main story. We got to talking about his opportunity to join the high-A Lynchburg team at the very end of its season (Sanchez had been playing for low-A West Virginia) just in time to help the team in the playoffs.
Yes, he talked about how neat it was to win the Carolina League Championship. But Sanchez spent most of the time lamenting the fact that because he got called up for the playoffs, the catchers who had helped Lynchburg get there were forced to sit on the bench:
"It wasn't the position I wanted to be in, though I know it's a business now. Those catchers have caught those guys for 142 games. They were putting in the work to get to the playoffs. Then I showed up and ended up catching the playoffs. It was kind of bittersweet. I loved to move up and I loved to help that team win a championship, but I know that those catchers had worked so hard for their team to get to the playoffs. I kind of felt bad. But I did whatever I could to help them win."
This seems to speak to Sanchez character very much. With him, you're not going to find a guy who feels entitled to anything even though he was a top Draft pick. He wants to earn everything. And he wants to do things right.
Anyways, here's the rest of your daily squeeze:
- Gorgeous day here at Pirate City. First real good weather day yet.
- The 16-pitcher group that threw side sessions on Friday were back throwing off the mounds on Sunday. As you can read here, they have pink strings and strips of rubber to help them out.
- Position players had the option of taking the day off (remember, there is no official full squad workout until Tuesday) and many of them did. However, the following 10 players still showed up to take part in fielding practice and BP: Jose Tabata, Garrett Jones, Steve Pearce, Doug Bernier, Brian Myrow, Jeff Clement, Brian Friday, Brandon Jones, Aki Iwamura and John Raynor. Of that group, only Iwamura and Jones have already been guaranteed Opening Day starting spots.
- Bullpen catcher Heberto Andrande has still not been able to arrive to help out with camp. He is stuck in Venezuela with visa issues.
- I asked Manny Sanguillen, who works with the catchers, how the group looked this year. He answered by singling out Ryan Doumit: "Ryan has really come a long way. I'm happy with his attitude, and he looks good."
- When asked if he had given any thought to who might be the team's Opening Day starting pitcher, manager John Russell succinctly answered: "No." My guess? Paul Maholm, followed by Ross Ohlendorf, Zach Duke and Charlie Morton. Pure speculation on my part.
- Did I mention the weather was beautiful today?
- For those of you who have been asking when another video will be posted, be patient. I'm working on one right now that is going to include a handful of interviews. Hopefully I'll have it up by the end of the week.

Bucs sign three to Minor League deals
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
The Pirates have agreed to terms with three more players — right-hander Brian Bass, catcher Luke Carlin and outfielder Brian Myrow. All three signed Minor League deals that include an invitation to Spring Training.
Bass pitched out of the Orioles' bullpen last season, going 5-3 with a 4.90 ERA in 48 appearances. He has made 97 appearances (four starts) in two seasons in the Majors.
Carlin played most of 2009 with the D-backs' Triple-A affiliate in Reno (Nev.), where he hit .321 with seven homers and 35 RBIs in 72 games. Carlin threw out 35.6 percent of runners attempting to steal against him. He also appeared in 10 games for Arizona, hitting .167 in 18 at-bats.
Myrow finished the year with Triple-A Indianapolis, where he hit .330 in 62 games. Myrow had hit .277 in 48 games with Triple-A Charlotte before joining the Pirates' organization.
The Pirates have now invited 19 non-roster players to Spring Training.

Minor League news and notes
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
Triple-A Indianapolis has another August weekly award winner after outfielder Brian Myrow was named International League Player of the Week on Monday. Myrow went 15-for-25 in seven games last week. He scored eight runs, hit three homers and drove in 13.
Earlier this month, Daniel McCutchen and Eric Hacker took home IL Pitcher of the Week honors.
Low-A West Virginia's Kyle Morgan also earned Player-of-the-Week honors for his performance last week. The first baseman was the South Atlantic League's standout hitter after going 10-for-21 with 10 runs scored, three doubles, three homers and seven RBIs.
Morgan was the Pirates' 36th-round Draft pick in 2008. He has hit .301 with 25 RBIs in 36 games with the Power since being promoted from State College.
Jeff Karstens (lower back strain) began his Minor League rehab assignment with two scoreless innings pitched for Indianapolis on Sunday. Karstens allowed two hits and struck out three.

Buried Treasure In Nebraska
Buried treasure in Nebraska do exist. Nebraska hidden treasure is mostly the outlaw type. Back in the days of the old west it was common to hear or read about outlaws robbing a bank or a stagecoach. Then while on the run from the local sheriff, they would often times bury their loot, and return at a later date to retrieve it. Sometimes the bad guys were caught and hung without revealing where their cache was buried. I know individuals who have located a few of these lost treasures. However, without the proper research into these stories, or any lost treasure story, your chances of finding one are not very good.
The information here is a good start for your treasure hunting search. But you may want to research the stories further. Using the Internet, and visiting the local historical societies of the areas the stories revolve around is a great way to research. I use these methods all the time.
Having a metal detector is also a good idea. If you do not own a metal detector, but your thinking of purchasing one, don't spend a lot of money. The detectors that cost between $350 to $450 is all you need. The higher end models with all of the bells and whistles are for the more advanced treasure hunter. Believe me, you can find hidden treasure with a less expensive model. I've been treasure hunting for thirty-five years and the detector I use now, I purchased new a few years ago for $425.
For more information on where and how to research for lost treasures,
please visit my page here.
The outlaw Jesse James supposedly buried treasure on the Catron Miyoshi Fruit Farm. The farm was located approximately three miles southeast of Nebraska City.
A 1930's bootlegger, may have buried approximately $10,000 in gold coins, and $25,000 in paper currency, near the Plattsmouth Bridge.
Quantrill's Raiders, raided the residents of Bloomington during the Civil War. But prior to the raid many of the residents buried their valuables. Many of the residents were killed, and their valuables have never been recovered.
Dobytown, is known to hold many buried treasures. The treasures were hidden by soldiers and gamblers during the Civil War era.
Buffalo Bill Cody, buried approximately $17,000 in gold coins near the Scotts Rest Ranch, located near North Platte.
Anytime you are going on to private property be sure to ask for permission. If you are venturing on to State or Federal lands you should know the laws of that State.

South Kitsap School District loses 'good leadership'
That might be the best word to describe South Kitsap School District deputy superintendent Kurt Wagner, who succumbed to cancer last Friday. He was 57.
Wagner had an array of administrative duties, which included overseeing the district's special-education, gifted and career-technical education programs. But he also was active in the community as a Rotarian and volunteered for numerous events, including track and field and Backpacks For Kids.
"Kurt epitomized good leadership," SKSD board president Kathryn Simpson said. "He went above and beyond in everything he did. When you think of someone who embodies the district, that is Kurt Wagner."
Wagner also mentored a student through Peer Assistant Learning from East Port Orchard Elementary, where he was principal from 1995-2000 and began his career as a teacher in 1980.
"He was just always about the kids," EPO principal Kristi Smith said.
Marcus Whitman Junior High principal Brian Carlson regularly saw that when EPO students filtered into his school. By that time, Wagner was an administrator overseeing curriculum and instruction before becoming an assistant superintendent in 2002.
"It was amazing to see," Carlson said. "Kurt was a kid magnet. People would just fly to him when he walked in."
Adults seemed to get along with him just as well. Wagner was known to be late to meetings at times because he was engrossed in a conversation.
Troy Tebo, the assistant principal at Orchard Heights Elementary, found that out when he was hired before the school year. Prior to spending last year at the American School of Dubai, Tebo worked at Brownsville Elementary in the Central Kitsap School District. Wagner also spent time in that district as an assistant principal and principal from 1991-95, and the two immediately connected.
"I came to the interview and he spent an hour with me," Tebo said. "You could just tell he was a really good person. No one was too small for him in the organization."
That extended to Wagner's sense of humor. When Carlson once jokingly told him, "I have feelings, too" he received an attachment of The Muppet Show's Beaker singing "Feelings."
"He had a very good sense of humor," Carlson said. "He was quick-witted."
Wagner also was the recipient of jokes. After he was promoted to deputy superintendent in 2009, then-assistant superintendent for business and support Terri Patton put a picture of Barney Fife from The Andy Griffith Show in his office.
The visual that athletic director Ed Santos, who said the South Kitsap Relays will be rebranded the Kurt Wagner Memorial Relays next year, vividly recalls about his friend stems from the mid 1980s at EPO. Santos, who was a physical-education teacher at the time, put together an "Indiana Jones" obstacle course. Wagner set the record, but lost it the following day to another teacher. Not wanting to be outdone, Wagner tried the course again — he even wore sweats to school — and managed to regain the top mark.
SKSD instructional services director Greg Albertson said Wagner's competitiveness was legendary. A former track teammate of Wagner's at Central Washington University once shared with Albertson how he would bring intense workouts back to the residence halls in hopes of gaining an upper hand on the competition.
That vigor extended to lifelong learning. He earned his master's and doctoral degrees from Washington State. District officials said his ability to cite researchers' names during presentations was uncanny.
"He and I didn't always agree, but he was always well positioned and respectful of different points of view," Simpson said. "He was always backed by well reasoned and sound justifications. You could have a great discussion with him."
Superintendent Dave LaRose agreed.
"He was about research and passion," he said. "We were blessed with his brilliance."

Say what you want about the Seattle Seahawks, but they certainly aren't dull when drafting players.
Every year around this time, it seems the 'Hawks front office sets out to reshape the roster by taking a rather unconventional approach to the NFL draft.
At times I honestly don't understand what general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll are thinking, but based on their track record working together you always have to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Such thinking has been evident as experts began to hand out grades for this draft—most are taking caution and hedging their bets, lest they get egg on their faces once again.
By now I'd imagine you're probably tired of reading such phrases, "roll of the dice" (Sports Illustrated) and "if you include Percy Harvin" (Yahoo! Sports), when analyzing these picks. To date, my personal favorite has to be Peter Schrager at Fox Sports bluntly stating, "I'm done questioning John Schneider. Until he proves otherwise, he gets an A."
What no one wants to say is that these picks lack the "wow" factor of those that division rivals San Francisco and St. Louis made over the weekend.
Yet, after the smoke clears, does it really matter (especially with this team) who was drafted and in what order?
Six month from now, probably not.
With that in mind I figured rather than hand out arbitrary grades on what I think of these players today, wouldn't it be of greater value to predict their impact for this upcoming season instead?
While I would have never expected the team to use their first pick to select a running back or wait until Round 7 to draft a linebacker, there are a few gems in the mix that could help the 'Hawks in 2013.
So let's take a closer look and see how this rookie class can contribute right away.

Reports of Extinctions Are Greatly Exaggerated
Louise Gray, Telegraph

In the past scientists have warned that up to five per cent of species are at risk of dying-out as a result of climate change, deforestation and development.
But a new analysis by the University of New Zealand found that this figure was five times greater than reality because the number of animals living in the wild in the first place had been over estimated.

Updates and Current Events
There has been so much that has happened lately that my mind struggles with fitting it all into the course of the last two weeks. So many changes, some for the better with definite movement forward, others that leave me conflicted, my heart heavy, and with whispers on every bird song that bring me to tears. But all change is a step forward, even if we cannot see it. Even what feels like a step backward is still a step forward for while time may not be linear, our lives most certainly are and everything that happens to us moves us closer to who we will be in the end, influencing who we will be in the next.
The Adventure Has Begun...
In earlier blog posts, I've hinted at a massive change happening for my family and me. In truth, it's something that I've vaguely mentioned for a few years now, actually. But, somehow, hope and intention have given way to reality, and the dream is finally poised to manifest, albeit in ways that I could have never imagined.
Blessed Full Moon!
It has been quite a while since I've posted a new article, a problem that I am happy to say has been remedied today! And despite a Mercury retrograde, I am mostly finished with tweaking the website. Just little changes here and there, a search bar, some photos, and a footer filled with handy little links to various places on the site. There will be a few more changes coming, nothing major, and probably nothing that anyone other than me will notice.
So, now that I've shaken most of the dust off the website, I will also be posting articles regularily, every Full Moon, as well as blogging regularily, too. If you happen to notice anything glitchy, let me know, or if you have any suggestions for making the Articles page easier to navigate and/or user friendly, do also let me know (that page continues to stump me...)
Wishing you all a productive Full Moon, without too many surprises.
Polite Gossip
It's been nearly 8 months since my last proper blog post, and as I mentioned in my last brief post, so very much has happened since then. There were some rather bumpy moments, moments when I was truly scared and not sure how things were going to work out, or if they even could. However, one of my mottoes, if that's truly the proper term, is that there is always a solution*. I also have profound faith in my Gods; I'm a good little priestess and They have yet to not help when I sincerely asked, and as a witch I couldn't allow for anything other than for things to work out.
We were lucky. Things falling into place just as they needed to, money arriving unexpectedly when so desperately needed, and through it all my husband and I managed to not entirely lose our bearings (hell, we even managed moments of optimism and joy.) Like I said, we were very lucky.
Long time no blog...
The time between this and my last post is concerning to me. But due to an unfortunate incident with a laptop the situation was rather unavoidable. Thankfully, that situation has been remedied and now with a functioning computer seated firmly beneath my fingertips, I am trying to make up for loss time.
My goal, at present, is to finish up with all the techy bits by the Full Moon. So far, this means just prettying up the place and cleaning up the navigation (it also means a snazzy new search bar at the top right, which I'm thrilled about.) I'm also trying to come up with a better way to organize the Articles page as it seems clumsy to me (suggestions appreciated!) Starting at the following Dark Moon, I will resume posting regular articles, aiming for every Dark Moon; expect blog post as the inspiration comes.
Many changes have happened in my life since my last post, so, in the interest of catharsis and polite gossip, I will be posting a catch-up post soon, too.
Untilt then, may today's Dark Moon treat you gently.
Feel the change a'comin'
Omens are building again. Little signs slowly appearing, in surprising places, just as they normally do. Apparently the Universe is in the mood for talking; I am grateful.
Things stalled for a while. I got distracted: focused too stronly on maintaining focus that I lost track on where I was going; of course, I ended up not going anywhere.
The end of Mars retrograde certainly helped. It was about that time that things started rolling again: I shook off my funk, took a look around, and noticed a large, draining hole in my life.
That recognition has mulling away in my mind now.
Short, but sweet
So it's a little trivial, but it's something I find exciting, so... after blogging for over a year now, I've finally got one of those snazzy little "friend connect" subscribe boxes in the sidebar. My site host doesn't offer such a thing and wasn't compatible for one before. But, thanks to my fabulous husband there's one just over there to the right now. :D
All Apologies
Long time no blog. *sigh* Things have been stressful as of late and I'm afraid I'm on a path to burning out soon. Headache every night this week; yesterday was a vicious migraine that took hold of my stomach and ordered an evacuation. The kids have not been helpful, school is ...frustrating, and my love has been gone all week (contributing to the non-helpful behavior of the older three, the baby, of course, is happy as long as she is in mommy's arms.) I apologize to all who read this for not being even slightly entertaining. I shall try harder, but no guarantees until after I finish midterms this week. Remind me, please, why I thought going back to school was going to be fun. And to think I have two more classes starting next Monday. Surely I'm crazy, if not, I will be soon enough. Ahhhhhhh.................
We've been in the new house for about five days now. Needless to say, there is a small trail winding amongst the piles of boxes that leads from one room to the other. We are slowly getting things pulled together, but none of the larger furniture has made it yet, so it feels as if we're camping ...indoors.
Throwing the Bones
Whether you're struggling with something spiritually or in everyday life, bone divination can highlight areas where focus is needed and identify alternative ways forward.

North Bend design standards to change
The North Bend City Council and Planning Commission unveiled
the new version of the city's design standards document.
The standards are regulations that set criteria for development and
will affect the future look of North Bend, including residential and
commercial buildings, streets, open spaces and signs.
This new document will replace the 1992 version which spurred
controversy over its vagueness.
Planning Commission wraps up Falls Crossing report
The Snoqualmie Planning Commission received the draft that will
be the basis for their final report on the proposed Falls Crossing
mixed-use development.
The commission held a special meeting March 29 to review
questions raised by the public during a written comment period.
Fire damages Snoqualmie home
A fire started by a lit candle that ignited a can of hairspray in a
residential home caused $25,000 in damage.
Three family members and their pets escaped without harm. The
manufactured home was located in the 37200 block of Southeast 80th
Street in Snoqualmie.
Three Forks plan rebuffed
Nearly 80 Valley residents attended a meeting outside the QFC
in North Bend to protest the expansion of the Three Forks Natural Area.
The meeting was held by the Three Forks Natural Area Preservation
Committee. Metropolitan King County Councilman David Irons, District
12, attended the meeting to hear neighbors' concerns that spending
almost $5 million on improvements to the natural area would hardly make
it "natural" any more.
Winery property turned over
The old Snoqualmie Winery property sale to the U.S. Forest Service
was finalized.
The 119 acres will be developed as a trail-head area, complete
with restrooms, parking and incredible views.
The transaction leaves the city of Snoqualmie with 10 acres of the
land that includes the area where the amphitheater stands. A public park
and view site will be established there, and the amphitheater may be used as
a wedding and event site.
The land once held the Snoqualmie Winery building,
which burned down in Feb. of 1999. The property narrowly escaped being
developed into a business park when several groups took an interest in
preserving the property, including Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, a
non-profit conservation organization.
Residents blast comprehensive plan
The King County Comprehensive Plan 2000 went through another
round of public hearings, including an April 17 meeting at Chief Kanim
Middle School.
Approximately two dozen residents testified on King County
Executive Ron Sims's proposed plan that covers issues such as
down-zoning, flood problems and curbing development.
The majority of the community members expressed their concern
over the county's plans to rezone areas in Snoqualmie from RA-5 and
RA-10 (one dwelling unit per five or 10 acres) to RA-10 or RA-20 (one dwelling
unit per 10 or 20 acres).
Residents said the action would prevent property owners from
subdividing land they would want to sell or will to their children. The
county's goal with down-zoning is to protect land adjacent to forest
production-zoned land by allowing fewer houses to be built.
VRA pulls plug on Lower Valley pool
The decades-long effort to bring a swimming pool to the Lower
Valley ended when board members of the Valley Recreation Association
(VRA) unanimously voted to disband the organization.
The board members based their decision on a marketing study
that showed it would cost at least $800,000 a year to run the proposed pool
The group, previously known as the Eastman-Rush Memorial
Foundation, had been fighting to bring safer swimming options to Valley
children after two local children drowned in the early 1970s.
The VRA's funding was donated to other Lower Valley groups.

Kelsey Grammer tries another ABC pilot
Months after the network opted not to go forward on his last pilot, Kelsey Grammer has signed on for an untitled comedy at ABC.
According to Variety, Grammer will play a corporate tycoon whose job is downsized, forcing him to reconnect with his family. Tucker Cawley ("Everybody Loves Raymond") is writing the pilot, which is set up at Warner Bros. TV.
Produced by Tom Werner's Good Humor TV, the pilot will be a multi-camera half-hour.
This means that both of the Emmy-winning stars of FOX's short-lived "Back to You" will be bucking for comedy space on ABC. Patricia Heaton's "The Middle" is also in development at the network through WBTV.
Grammer's most recently appeared in the pilot "Roman's Empire," which ABC opted not to send to series.
The "Frasier" and "Cheers" veteran has been seen on the big screen in "An American Carol" and "Swing Vote." He also has a role in MGM's upcoming remake of "Fame."

"I find myself in an untenable position in the political and ethical crosswinds and am no longer in a position to effectuate a solution."
Harrisburg's former receiver David Unkovic handwrote those words in a resignation letter, March 30.
Unkovic is a veteran lawyer. Before coming to Harrisburg, he worked briefly for the state and had a long career in the private sector. He chose his words carefully and surely understood their full meaning.
No one is surprised that politics is heavily involved in the capital city's $317 million debt conundrum. Politics got the city into this mess in the first place. But "ethical crosswinds" is different. It implies Unkovic believed there were unethical forces at work and that someone might have been attempting to break the law.
Before Judge Bonnie Leadbetter of the Commonwealth Court approves any appointment for the next receiver, she must understand what exactly those "ethical crosswinds" are.
If Unkovic, a highly respected attorney who claimed repeatedly he had no political stake in the city, could not get the job done, it's difficult to imagine too many people will be able to step in and succeed where he could not.
Commonwealth Court holds the ultimate power and responsibility for ensuring the receiver process in the city goes smoothly. The so-called takeover bill that state lawmakers wrote gives the receiver tremendous power over the city's finances.
But Commonwealth Court must approve two items: the appointment of the receiver and the receiver's final financial plan for the city. At the moment, Harrisburg lacks a receiver and a plan. Unkovic submitted a framework for a plan in early March, but Judge Leadbetter said Unkovic would have to come back when his plan was better fleshed out and that he would have to seek approval for any sale of assets.
The ball is now in Gov. Tom Corbett's court to nominate a new receiver. Corbett claims he was as shocked as everyone else by Unkovic's sudden departure. But Corbett must remain true to his claims that he will appoint another independent, qualified receiver.
Corbett also should go a step further and join in the calls for an investigation of the Harrisburg Authority audit findings and of Unkovic's claim about ethical crosswinds. It's time to get to the bottom of Harrisburg's past and the ongoing issues blocking the best solution to the city's financial crisis.
As a former prosecutor, Corbett surely understands the implications of the audit findings and Unkovic's pointed remarks in his resignation letter. If there are truly impediments to a receiver's ability to carry out his or her duties, the court and the governor should seek to unearth those now.
It might be as simple as calling Unkovic to the stand again to explain his meaning. There are already enough challenges for the next receiver. He or she doesn't need additional "political and ethical" burdens.

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) The City of Binghamton is launching its Citizen Pruner Program, which will engage community volunteers in pruning young street trees and park trees.
The program is designed to help improve the health and quality of Binghamton's urban forest.
Trees that are appropriately pruned while they are young will require little corrective pruning when they mature, which will save the City money on maintenance.
The Program is being officially launched after a trial run in 2010.
Volunteers will receive free tree pruning training in exchange for a minimum time commitment. Once trained, citizen pruners work under the supervision of the City's Shade Tree Commission for approximately three hours per month to prune young street trees and park trees to correct defects and direct stronger growth to improve tree quality and longevity.
Citizen pruners are asked to complete two trainings, of less than three hours each, to give them the knowledge and skills they need to understand tree growth and development. Trainings will be held November 19th and December 3rd at 9am in the Broome County Library 2nd floor Gallery. Volunteers should bring pruning tools if they have them. Some tools will be provided.
Interested volunteers are asked to complete an application and sign up for the trainings. To register, please call Amelia Lo Dolce (607)772-7028 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Many communities have enlisted volunteer pruners to help keep their urban forest properly pruned and healthy to save funds and build community. For example, Ithaca has a successful Citizen Pruner program.
More information about the program is available on the Citizen Pruner page of the City's website.

At one time or another, everyone feels depressed or upset. But we can identify at least three general levels of distress which, when present over a period of time, suggest that the problems the person is dealing with are more than "normal" ones.
Mild Distress
These behaviors, although not disruptive to others, may indicate that something is wrong and that help may be needed:
Moderate Distress
These behaviors may indicate significant emotional distress, and perhaps also a reluctance or inability to acknowledge a need for more personal help:
Severe Distress
These behaviors are obviously inappropriate and/or indicate a crisis which needs immediate attention:
Responses to Mild/Moderate Distress
If you choose to approach a student you are concerned about, or if a student seeks you out for help, here are some suggestions that might make the opportunity more comfortable for you and more helpful to the student:
Responses to Severe Distress
Try to make every effort to stay calm and know who to call for help. Find someone to stay with the student while calls to the appropriate agency are made. For students expressing a direct threat to themselves or others, or who act in a disruptive, bizarre, or highly irrational way, call:
For students who exhibit severe anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, or any other intense emotional disturbance, and for whom no immediate risk of harm seems likely, consider calling the ACTS Department for consultation, or consult the Emergency/After Hours Assistance for a list of other appropriate contacts. As you interact with the student, consider the following list of Do's and Don'ts:
When to Make a Referral
Even though a student asks for help with a problem and you are willing to help, there are circumstances that may indicate that you should refer a student to another resource. Some of these situations include:
How To Make A Referral
Some people accept a referral for professional help more easily than others. When proposing a referral, it is best to do so in a direct and positive manner.
Professional counseling staff are available for consultation with faculty, staff, and students regarding behavioral and mental health issues. This is especially encouraged for individuals concerned about unusual, problematic or potentially harmful behavior of others. If necessary, we can facilitate a connection for services or make a referral to other mental health professionals and agencies in the area.

Who would have thought, 48 games into the 2013-14 NBA schedules, the most-tenured member of the New Orleans Pelicans – nee Hornets – injury list the last two years would be leading the team in minutes played this season.
And shooting guard Eric Gordon has also made among the fewest trips to the team's bustling infirmary so far, missing just three games with a badly bruised right hip he sustained in a fall against the Sacramento Kings two days before his 25th birthday, which is also Christmas Day.
Heading into Wednesday night's 105-100 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, Gordon had played a team-leading 1,435 minutes, the most he has logged since being traded to New Orleans in Dec. 2011.
Eric Gordon, iron man.
Dogged by knee, back and ankle ailments through his first two years here, which limited his on-court appearances to 51 of a possible 148 regular season games, Gordon will pass that collective two-year activity threshold next Wednesday in Milwaukee when the Pelicans meet the Milwaukee Bucks.
Gordon likely will soon accumulate more minutes this season than he has in the last two combined (1,574).
Provided, of course, he doesn't find his name on the ballooning list of injured Pelicans.
Incredibly, three players expected to be major contributors to New Orleans' fortunes this year are sidelined with season-altering injuries: Jason Smith (knee) is definitely out for the year, Ryan Anderson (herniated discs) is ostensibly out for the year, Jrue Holiday (right tibial stress fracture) is now mysteriously absent from games and shootarounds, somewhere out West, according to Monty Williams, further discussing his condition with physicians.
And Tyreke Evans did not play against the Hawks because of a rib cartilage injury he sustained in Monday night's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. His availability, Williams speculated, could be day-to-day or beyond.
Startlingly, the once-perceived-as-brittle Gordon is currently one of the most durable players on the team.
"I'm feeling pretty good right now, Gordon said Wednesday. "I'm just looking forward to playing every game for the rest of the year and playing as many minutes as I can. There are no limitations."
Gordon is averaging about 32 ½ minutes a game this season, hitting 43 percent of his field goal, 39 from beyond the arc, and 15.8 points per game, finishing with 18 points in 33 ½ minutes against Atlanta.
He spent the summer recovering from, and rehabilitating, an arthroscopic surgical procedure that cleaned out some irritating debris in his left ankle, simultaneously working to prepare himself to play a full season for the first time since his rookie year of 2008-09 when he played in 78 games for the Los Angeles Clippers.
"I had a good amount of time to really get in shape as I was rehabbing my ankle at the same time," Gordon said. "It's just being more focused on my body more than usual."
Part of Gordon's offensive repertoire includes driving the lane where he's routinely jostled – often this season without benefit of foul calls – by the league's burly front-court players.
But Gordon's muscular, 6 foot 3, 220 pound frame has thus far been sturdy enough to absorb the punishment.
"It's tough for anybody to play a full 82-game season and play a lot of minutes. I think it's a combination of luck and good preparation," Gordon said. "If you look at all the guards who are under 6-5 in this league, they've always had some type of injuries as far as being exposed. Whether it's a guy like (Dwyane) Wade or (Eric) Bledsoe, or even Chris Paul.
"All these guys are going to have some kind of lingering issue because we play explosively and a lot of minutes. It's always tough when you're trying to play your game and deal with minor issues.
". . . . You're going to the hole and you've got big guys whacking you all the time. If you're going to the hole all the time, that's where you really get hit the most. It's going to always happen."
But even Williams admits this season's injury issues have been somewhat anomalous.
"Nah. No," Williams said. "I mean, I was talking to my wife, as long as we've been in the league, I've never seen anything like this. But it is what it is. It's not changing because I feel bad about it. My mindset has always been to keep moving.
"We've been able to make some progress with the young guys we have, but I wouldn't have guessed this in my wildest imagination last summer that we would lose all these guys."
Nor could anyone have guessed that Eric Gordon would transform himself into an iron man.

In the beginning:
In the beginning:Jacob and Allison met in July 2007 while working for Ernst & Young. She was based in Nashville, and he was based in Tulsa, Okla. The company sponsored a week of training in Atlanta for employees. Jacob was the training session's facilitator and Allison was a participant.
A dinner date: Allison and Jacob shared a working dinner the Thursday night of the training session. The conversation and meal went so well that they met for lunch on Friday. Afterward, Jacob escorted Allison to a taxi that would take her to the airport. Allison thought Jacob was going to hug her. Instead, he shook her hand. "Trust me, I'm still like, 'What was that?' It was very professional," she said.
First kiss: Three weeks after meeting and countless hours of telephone conversations, Jacob flew to Nashville to visit Allison. As soon as he landed, they shared a kiss.
Will you? The couple started a long-distance relationship after meeting. In August 2009, Jacob encouraged Allison to fly to New York to meet him because he was going to be in Pittsburgh for business. On Aug. 8, 2009, they took a carriage ride around Central Park in New York City. They later went to the top of a hill for a picnic where Jacob told Allison he had asked her father for permission to marry her. He proposed and she said yes.
The wedding: They exchanged vows at Huffman United Methodist Church in Birmingham.
Traditions: Allison wore new pearl earrings. She borrowed her mother's pearl bracelet, and she wore a blue garter. For her something old, Allison attached her mother's pendant to her bouquet. Allison's grandfather gave her mother the pendant when the woman was a child.
With this ring: As the matron of honor was about to walk down the aisle, she realized she had left the groom's ring in her car. Allison's father and brother tried to remove their own wedding rings so they could give them to the matron of honor, but the rings wouldn't budge. Photographer Rob Ingram realized what was happening, ran inside the church and asked a guest if he could borrow his wedding band for the ceremony. The wedding guest complied.
Do over, please: The flower girl, Allison's 4-year-old niece, forgot to toss the flower petals during her walk down the aisle. She realized her mistake and returned to the beginning of the aisle so she could properly distribute the flowers.
Reception: It was held at the Tutwiler Hotel in downtown Birmingham. As guests arrived, the couple spent some quiet time in Linn Park, admiring the Christmas lights. Their first dance was to Stevie Wonder's "You are the Sunshine of My Life."
Special gift: Allison loves the Auburn servingware given by her father, a devoted Alabama fan.
Honeymoon: They spent Christmas on the Mexican beaches in Riviera Maya. Allison said their "official" honeymoon was taken in May 2010, when they spent two weeks traveling through Italy.
Pedigree: Allison's parents are Doug and Pat Ferrell of Trussville. Jacob's parents are Phil and Jan Odom of Jenks, Okla.
Happily ever after: Allison, 27, is an SEC senior accountant with ONEOK Inc. in Tulsa, Okla. Jacob, 32, is a senior manager with Ernst & Young. They live in Tulsa.

This item was written by Alex Soper as an assignment for a Social & Political Philosophy course at the University of Alabama at Birmingham with Professor David Morrow.
Many countries around the world, including our neighbors to the north, Canada, have implemented some form of universal health care; in fact the United States is one of the only few developed countries that does not currently have some form of government funded Universal health system. Universal health care has been a much debated topic in the United States recently due to the health care bill that was passed in May of 2010. This bill, nicknamed "ObamaCare," plans to do many things in its attempt to provide universal health care, most notably are its provisions for government mandated insurance which requires individuals to purchase health insurance, offering a government-funded "exchange" to better assist people in purchasing insurance through private companies, and the government will help out families with income up to 400 percent of the poverty line by subsidizing health insurance. While there are many other inclusions in the bill, such as government regulation of the health care industry which focuses on improved care and increased guidelines, the main points of contention revolve around the idea of mandated insurance.
While some people may disagree with this bill, I personally, from a utilitarian perspective, agree with Obama's policy on health care as it is an improvement on previous laws and serves to increase the sum total happiness and utility in the state. Previously, the United States' government didn't require insurance companies to justify price increases which allowed private companies to exploit consumers and charge exorbitant premiums for insurance policies. With this new law, the government will be implementing its "exchange" option, subsidizing health insurance for some, as well as requiring insurance companies to publicly announce and defend any increases to premiums of more than 10 percent which should provide more insight into a company's actions resulting in lower prices and an increase in the quality of health insurance providers. Not only will "Obamacare" help decrease prices, but it will also provide more widespread and available health care and Medicare to those who previously couldn't afford it. If more people have access to health insurance then more people will be able to receive regular health care which will increase happiness as well as utility.
A libertarian would argue that "ObamaCare" restricts peoples' freedom and therefore is not better than the previous law which would also imply that the dissatisfaction of the minority would outweigh the happiness of the majority, the utilitarian would argue that this is not the case. While some would say that restricting peoples' right to choose between having and not having health insurance is not an improvement for the new law, it is only one provision; that one provision is outweighed by the greater implications of the bill, that more people in the United States could afford, and would be receiving, health insurance and care. A utilitarian would even argue that by denying this bill you are refusing some people their right to life which could be seen as worse than depriving someone of their freedom of choice.

Detective uses shell casings to depict image of dangerous criminalUPDATED 9:12 AM CDT May 02, 2014
Dubbed "New Orleans most wanted and dangerous criminal," Telly Hankton made headlines following a string of killings. Now, he's inspiring one artist in his quest to garner attention for issues affecting the Crescent City.Video Transcript
of new orleans', the police department, our most dangerous subjects." DUBBED NEW ORLEANS MOST WANTED.. MOST FEARSOME CRIMINAL -- TELLY HANKTON MADE HEADLINES.... AS THE KINGPIN BEHIND A STRING OF KILLINGS. NOW.. HE'S SERVING HARD TIME IN ANGOLA... BUT ONE MAN IS MAKING SURE HIS VIOLENT LEGACY ISN'T FORGOTTEN... AND THAT MAN... IS A COP. WDSU ANCHOR RANDI ROUSSEAU INTRODUCES US TO THE UNLIKELY ARTIST WHO CONJURED UP "THE GHOST OF TELLY HANKTON" -- AND WHO THAT PIECE "REALLY" HONORS. JUST BLOCKS FROM THE COURTHOUSE -- HANGS A MOSAIC -- DEPICTING ONE OF NEW ORLEANS MOST NOTORIOUS CRIMINALS... 14 THOUSAND -- 40 CALIBER SHELL CASINGS -- ARRANGED IN PERFECT SEQUENCE.... T THE FACE AND ESSENCE OF TELLY HANKTON -- A MAN DUBBED NEW ORLEANS MOST DANGEROUS CRIMINAL -- SPENDING LIFE BEHIND BARS FOR MURDER. "To use that medium and capture someone's likeness and personality blows my mind... And it's probably one of the biggest talking pieces that we have in the gallery along with the ceiling." "THE GHOST OF TELLY HANKTON" IS PROMINENT INSIDE PAULINE PATTERSON'S BAR AND ART GALLERY - TREO. WHILE THIS PIECE -- DEPICTING A CRIMINAL MASTERMIND -- RECEIVES A LOT OF ATTENTION -- THE MASTER CRAFTSMAN BEHIND THIS PIECE OF ART -- ISN'T WHAT YOU'D EXPECT. "It's mimicking my job as a police officer. That specific piece, and I think that's why people like it." CHARLIE HOFFACKER IS A HOMICIDE DETECTIVE WITH THE NEW ORLEANS POLICE DEPARTMENT -- AND AN ARTIST. HE ADMITS -- HIS WORK REFLECTS HIS LIFE ON THE FORCE -- AND THE PEOPLE HE MEETS ON THE STREET -- BECOME A PART OF HIS PALLET. " I'll go work a case all day and deal with the family and it's easy for me to get lost in a canvas and think about that family." "To do that type of job. You'd think it be easy to lose it, but he hasn't lost it... He just... It grows with his art." HOFFACKER SAYS THIS MOSAIC "ISN'T" A TRIBUTE TO HANKTON -- BUT TO THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HELPED SEAL HIS FATE -- WITH EACH CASING -- FIRED FROM THE WEAPON OF AN NOPD OFFICER. "His power on the street is gone, therefore on the streets he's a ghost." "There's little blank holes and that speaks to his empire. There are these holes on the streets now in his empire on the street in crime. There are blanks where he used to be and that's an opportunity for good things to happen." HOFFACKER'S ARTISTIC ENDEAVORS PROMPT CONVERSATION, AND EVEN STIR SOME CONTROVERSY ... BUT HE HOPES TO SPARK CHANGE WITH EACH BRUSH STROKE. RIGHT NOW, HE'S WORKING ON A SERIES INVOLVING THE CITY'S HOMELESS... BUYING THEIR SIGNS... AND PAINTING THEIR PORTRAITS... TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE GROWING PROBLEM. "As hard as we have to be as policemen, we all care. We all care down beneath the surface. It's all there, otherwise we wouldn't be doing the job." IT'S AN ISSUE THAT HITS CLOSE TO HOME FOR HOFFACKER. WHEN HE FIRST BECAME AN OFFICER, HE MET A HOMELESS MAN WHO WAS HURTING... BUT WHO REFUSED HIS HELP. "The next morning, the first call I had was a 29u which is a dead person. I said, ok I'll go over there not even thinking about the intersection. I went there and sure enough that was the guy and I kind of carry that burden with me a little bit and think about what I could have done more." SO IN ADDITION TO WALKING THE BEAT IN NEW ORLEANS... "I still feel when I have a homicide victim, it's my responsibility to protect them, it's my responsibility to make justice happen for him or her." HOFFACKER HOPES TO INSPIRE -- USING HIS TALENTS TO GET PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT LOCAL ISSUES -- AND THE FUTURE OF THE CITY HE HAS SWORN TO PROTECT AND SERVE. ON YOUR SIDE I'M RANDI ROUSSEAU WDSU.

Toning shoes are marketed as shoes that help people get into shape simply by wearing them while walking. The shoes have a "rocker bottom" which is meant to provide some instability to the walk, making the person's legs work harder during normal activities. Shoemakers promise that the shoes will provide the wearer with health benefits. Among the reported promises by the shoemakers are that the shoes promote weight loss, tone muscles, improve posture and reduce stress on joints in the legs.
Toning Shoes & Toning Sneakers
According to The New York Times (09/28/11) toning footwear resulted in sales of more than $1 billion in 2010. Meanwhile, Reebok sold more than five million pairs of toning shoes in 2010.
Critics argue, however, that the shoes do not work and, furthermore, that they cause injuries. Toning sneaker injuries include stress fractures, joint injuries and tendon ruptures. Critics also argue that because the shoes are unstable, people wearing them can suffer falls that cause harm, including violent ankle fractures. The Consumer Products Safety Commission reportedly received 65 toning shoe complaints from consumers between March and July 2011 (as cited by Trial Magazine). Among the toning shoe complaints were significant compound fractures caused by regular walking activities, and broken wrists and traumatic brain injuries caused by a fall while wearing the shoes.
Companies with toning shoes:
- SkechersShape-up
- ReebokEasyTone
- MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology)
- AVIAiTone, iBurn, iQuest
- New BalanceTrue Balance
- ChampionPace toning shoe
A lawsuit has been filed against Skechers, alleging Skechers Shape-up shoes can cause serious injury. According to ABC News (02/16/11), the plaintiff in the Skechers toning shoes lawsuit alleges she developed stress fractures in both hips after wearing the shoes, and now requires physical therapy and pins in her hips because of the injuries. The plaintiff, Holly Ward, says she wore the shoes as a waitress and while on walks for five months and developed the stress fractures, despite having a healthy bone density.

Skechers Shape-Up Shoes Injury & Skechers Toning Shoes Lawsuit
In September 2011, Reebok International agreed to pay $25 million to settle allegations that the company made false claims about its toning shoes. The lawsuit was filed by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and alleged the company's claims that the toning shoes provided extra muscle strength were unsubstantiated. Specifically, the claim that the Reebok EasyTone and RunTone shoes "strengthen and tone key leg and buttock (gluteus maximus) muscles more than regular shoes" (as quoted by Reuters; 09/28/11) was considered misleading.
Reebok Toning Shoes Lawsuit Settlement
Furthermore, the FTC took issue with Reebok's claim that Reebok EasyTone shoes strengthen hamstrings and calves by up to 11 percent, while they tone the buttocks up to 28 percent over regular sneakers. The $25 million was to go toward refunding customers.

After going to Hong Kong in November and writing a rather boring trip report that not a lot of people read, I decided to try again. I will take more pictures and take more notes to make the reading more enjoyable. In truth, my favorite reports come from Abrelosojos and 797… so let's see if this one comes close to theirs. You tell me.
This trip is taking me to Hong Kong, Melbourne, Buenos Aires and Mexico City in just two weeks. It is the first time I am going around the world, so it is a pretty exciting trip for me. Also, I will be going to Australia and Mexico City for the first time (I've been to Tijuana only).
My itinerary will be as follows:
ZRH – LHR: January 3rd, BA 709. A320
LHR – HKG: January 3rd, QF 030. B747-400
HKG – MEL: January 7th, QF 030. B747-400
MEL – SYD: January 10th, QF 408: 767-300
SYD – EZE: January 10th, QF17: 747-400 (operated by Qantas)
EZE – SCL: January 14th, LA 422: 767-300
SCL – MEX: January 14th, LA 622: 767-300
MEX – MAD: January 17th, IB 6400: A340-300
MAD – ZRH: January 18th, IB 3464: A320
My company booked a round the world ticket which was reasonably priced and although I wanted to use Sky team, our travel agency could not get the flights for a rtw ticket. I would use then One world and get miles on my LAN PASS account for which I have already lost my premium status since I left Chile in 2007. No big deal.
First leg
ZRH – LHR: January 3rd, BA 709. A320. Seat 2F.
I had to wake up really early as the flight was to leave at 7:05AM. I was really tired as I had arrived from Madrid the day before (went to visit family and friends for New Years'). I woke up around 4, took a shower and headed to the train station in my town (Horgen). I could have called a taxi but it only takes 35 minutes from home to get to the airport by train so I didn't bother calling the taxi.
I arrived at the airport at 5:30AM and walked to the British Airways counters (Check in Area 2, if I remember correctly). It was incredibly crowded. There was a huge group before me and they took at least 10 minutes. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the business counter was also used for people who were just dropping off their bags (internet check in), which might explain the amount of people.
When my turned arrived, a very friendly guy checked me in and gave me my boarding passes for my flight to London and to Hong Kong. My suitcase was also checked all the way, but I was surprised to see that no business tags were added. When I was leaving, the friendly agent told me almost as an afterthought that there was a Bellevue lounge if I had time to check it out.
A lot of people checking in:
I started walking to the gate, which was on the E terminal and honestly it was quite a walk. It took me 20 minutes including the train ride. It was efficient and the signs were clear. Here are some pictures.
Zurich airport, 5:30 AM (approx)
Zurich airport, 5:30 AM (approx)
Zurich airport, 5:30 AM (approx)
About to take the train:
My ride to London (sorry, it was the best shot I could get):
Boarding started at 6:30 (I didn't have time to check out the lounge) and soon I was seating in seat 2F. Business class was almost full, including two children behind me who yelled loudly throughout the flight. I wasn't too bothered, but still, I could see people who looked irritated.
Departure was delayed by around 10 minutes as the captain told us that there were too many bags and some cargo would have to be left behind, so they had to unload it and load all the bags. He promised all bags would make it.
KLM to Amsterdam parked right next to us:
The flight attendants were nice, but somewhat informal (I am comparing to Swiss I guess). We took off from runway 28 and headed towards Paris. Breakfast was served and it was pretty Ok. I liked it that it was really really hot, unlike other times where the food has been warm but not hot.
The flight attendants were nice and kept going through the cabin offering water, tea, coffee and bread (it was kinda funny that the guy made a big effort to pronounce croissants the way the French would).
They took all trays away once we were finished, the rest of the flight was uneventful. I admit I haven't been to Heathrow too many times (about 10), but it was the first time I landed from the West. I was used to seeing London when landing, but that wasn't to be this time.
We parked at a remote station (arrrgh!) and were taken to terminal 5. I then walked to the buses that would take me to Terminal 4. The bus took some time to arriveand the ride to Terminal 4 took a good 20 minutes.
Views from the bus:
We arrived there and I passed through security very quickly. There was no line whatsoever, I guess because of the time (it was around 8AM London time). I went to the Qantas transfer desk and asked them to give me a seat on the upper deck for my ride to Hong Kong. The nice lady at the desk was happy to do so and informed me where the lounge was. I walked to the lounge which is a British Airways lounge and took some pictures. The food selection was rather small (croissants, bread and not much more) but the drink selection was fantanstic. I wish it was later in the day so I wouldn't feel guilty by drinking a nice scotch on the rocks or something like that. Since it was 9:30 AM I settled for apple juice and worked for a while. I was disappointed by the lack of views from this lounge.
Views from the lounge/the lounge:
Next legs to follow...

Fabian Manning Telegram file photo
Fabian Manning, one of 18 people appointed to the Senate Monday, held a new conference in St. John's this morning.
He told the media and a crowd of 20 or so supporters that he will accept Prime Minister Stephen Harper's appointment, but he did say it came as a surprise.
Manning said he is in favour of Senate reform and will work as a Senator to bring that about.
He also had some words for his critics. Some MPs from this province say Manning's appointment is undemocratic because he was defeated in the October election.
But Manning said a possible coalition is really what's undemocratic.
He also accused his critics of not voting for Senate reform when they had the chance in the past.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – A judge has set a hearing next week to determine whether a Hoover man charged with capital murder in the death of his pregnant wife last month has been able to hire an attorney yet or will need to have one appointed for him.
Brian Darnell Epps, 29, appeared before Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Bill Cole on Friday for a hearing to determine whether Epps had an attorney. Epps on Wednesday told Cole he wanted to hire an attorney and asked the judge not appoint one yet.
Epps has been charged with capital murder in the June 28 slaying of his wife, Rashon Deidrenette Bester Epps, who was killed the day before her 30th birthday in front of their residence in the 3000 block of Warringwood Drive, in Hoover. Brian Epps, who was captured three days later, is being held without bond in the Jefferson County Jail.
At Friday's hearing, Epps referred the question of hiring an attorney to his three sisters who were in the audience. One sister told the judge the family was meeting Sunday to discuss who they wanted to hire. She said they have several attorneys in mind and would make a decision by next Friday.
Cole said he would hold another hearing next Friday, July 18, to determine whether Epps has retained an attorney yet.

World Premiere Higdon commission honors Witten's 100th concert
For a musician marking a career milestone, there may be no better celebration then performing a composition written expressly for you by one of the most acclaimed contemporary composers. For Dean Witten, professor of percussion in the Department of Music, that "dream" becomes reality this month.
Witten, who joined the faculty here in 1979, presents his 100th concert as director of the Rowan Percussion Ensemble on Monday, November 19 at 8:00 p.m. in Pfleeger Concert Hall. The evening's program features the World Premiere of Jennifer Higdon's "Like ClockWork."
After launching the idea of commissioning a new work nearly two years ago, Witten and Jon Robert Cart, then Dean of the College of Fine & Performing Arts, decided to start at the top and approach Higdon.
"She is one of the most performed living American composers," Witten said. "Her profile has never been higher."
Higdon, winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Music and a 2010 Grammy Award, is indeed one of the most acclaimed composers working today. In addition to those accolades, she has been honored by the Serge Koussevitzky Foundation, Guggenheim Foundation, American Academy of Arts & Letters, Pew Fellowship in the Arts and ASCAP; plus an extensive list of commissions from some of the top orchestras and ensembles in the world.
Now Rowan can be added to that list.
"Every time the piece goes out now, we are on the cover," Witten stated proudly.
Ultimately commissioned by private donors and the College of Performing Arts, "Like ClockWork" showcase the musicianship of Witten and several alumni in its inaugural performance.
Witten is preparing for a "high caliber event" that is "respectful" of the composer's work. Higdon is thankful for the talent that influenced her composition.
"The inspiration was entirely Dean and the percussionists who have studied with him," she noted. "The caliber of performer that comes out of his studio inspired me to write a piece that would be challenging and colorful, and fun to listen to. When there is an excellent teacher, a composer knows that the performance will be good."
The evening also includes Gérard Grisey's "Le Noir de l'Étoile" and John Cage's "Living Room Music." Tickets are $25, general admission. Rowan students are admitted free with valid ID. Call 856-256-4545.
