|Middle Island, MI
Description: Middle Island is so named because it is situated almost exactly midway between Thunder Bay Island and Presque Isle Harbor. The island is nearly a mile long and five-eighths of a mile wide and affords a lee with good holding ground in all winds on its south side. A lighthouse was established on Thunder Bay Island in 1832 and one at the entrance to Presque Isle Harbor in 1840. While these two lights almost covered the intervening twenty-five miles, the Lighthouse Board still felt it was prudent to place a light and fog signal on Middle Island. In its 1896 annual report, the Lighthouse Board made the following argument for these navigational aids:
A light and fog signal are now needed here both in order to make available the harbor of refuge behind Middle Island, the only one in the vicinity having sufficient depth of water for the modern deep-draft lake vessels, and to mark a turning point in the regular course of vessels bound up or down the coast. This it is estimated can be done for $25,000, and it is recommended that an appropriation of this amount be made therefor.
A seventy-six-foot-tall, buff-brick tower was built seventy-five feet from the nearest high water mark and 375 feet from the keepers duplex. The tower tapers from a diameter of eighteen feet at its base to twelve feet, eight inches below its cornice and rests atop concrete piers that extend four feet below ground. A circular, cast-iron stairway, with three landings, winds up the tower to the decagonal lantern room, where a fourth-order Fresnel lens was installed to produce a fixed red light.
The two-story, double dwelling was built of red brick and features six rooms in each of its apartments. A frame woodshed and two redbrick privies were located behind the duplex for the convenience of the keepers and their families. Cement walks link the dwelling to the tower, located to the southeast, and to the hip-roofed, redbrick fog signal building, situated 265 feet northwest of the duplex. The fog signal building originally measured forty by twenty-three-and-a-half feet, but a roughly nine-by-six-foot room was later added to house a hoisting engine used for a landing that extended 175 feet out from the fog signal building to a depth of three feet of water.
The stations ten-inch steam whistle was manufactured by Optenberg & Sonneman of Cheboygan, Michigan and produced a three-second blast every twenty seconds when needed. Water for its boilers was drawn from the lake by steam injector.
On September 27, 1904, a forest fire swept over a large portion of Middle Island but did not damage the buildings under construction. The fire burned the islands covering of pine needles, turning the surface of the rocks into lime, and destroyed the contractors construction camp and a large amount of building material.
The light and fog signal were placed in operation on June 1, 1905, by Keeper Patrick Garrity, who had been serving for fifteen years as his fathers first assistant at nearby Presque Isle Lighthouse. A brick oil house, capable of storing 500 gallons, was completed during the summer of 1905. The intensity of the light was increased on November 4, 1914 by changing the illuminant to incandescent oil vapor. The intensity was further increased in 1938, when the light was electrified and its characteristic was changed to isophase green with alternating five-second periods of light and dark. A compressed air diaphone, which eliminated the start-up required by the steam whistle, was installed in 1931.
Middle Island light and fog signal were maintained by three resident keepers. In 1916, the stations three keepers, Patrick Garrity, George J. Hassett, and Alexander Brock were recognized for having gone to the assistance of the yacht Irvington, which had run aground, and for removing its female passengers.
Light Lists indicate that in 1953, the towers daymark was changed from its natural buff color to white with a black band in the middle. In 1970, the black band was changed to reddish-orange.
In July 1989, Marvin Theut became the new owner of the duplex and fog signal building after being the highest bidder in a sealed-bid auction, and the following month, two of Marvs sons and two other men went out to the island to board up the duplex. The lake was calm when they ventured out with three boats that morning, but later that afternoon, four-foot waves started breaking on the islands rocky shore. As they were leaving the island, their two rowboats swamped, nearly drowning one man. They wisely decided to re-anchor the motorboat and remain on the island. Not long thereafter the anchor line snapped, and the boat joined them on shore. A passing Coast Guard vessel spotted the wrecked boat, and, after summoning the men out of the duplex with its horn, it radioed in a helicopter to take them to safety. The Theuts had quickly learned that restoring an offshore station was not going to be an easy task.
Marv Theut formed Middle Island Lighthouse Keepers Association as a non-profit corporation in 1992 to continue the rehabilitation of the duplex and fog signal building, and in 2001, the fog signal building, branded the Keepers Lodge, opened to overnight guests.
Besides looking after Middle Island Lighthouse, Marv Theut also co-founded the Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival, which has been held in Alpena every October since 1996. During the festival in 2002, a man showed up bearing a panel from Middle Islands Fresnel lens. It turns out that this man, as a seventeen-year-old in 1975, broke into the lighthouse with some friends and removed the panel. While one panel is back home, the whereabouts of the rest of the lens remains a mystery.
A Notice of Availability, dated June 28, 2010, announced that Middle Island Lighthouse was excess to the needs of the United States Coast Guard and would be made available at no cost to eligible entities, who were given sixty days to submit a letter of interest. On October 4, 2011, U.S. Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow announced that three Michigan lighthouses, South Haven Pierhead Lighthouse, Middle Island Lighthouse, and Waugoshance Lighthouse, would be transferred from the U.S. Coast Guard to local preservation groups. Middle Island Lighthouse was awarded to Middle Island Lighthouse Keepers Association, Inc., a non-profit that has leased the historic tower from the Coast Guard for more than twenty years.
Michigans lighthouses have long been an unmistakable marker of Michigans identity, Levin said. Although they are no longer used as navigation tools, they are a testament to our states maritime history and important sources of tourism. Under the care of these local historical societies, these three lighthouses will be enjoyed by generations of future Michiganians and visitors.
Located on Middle Island, 2.5 miles offshore, and roughly 10 miles north of Alpena. You can visit the lighthouse on volunteer trips to the island offered on summer weekends or even spend a night in the fog signal building. Call Captain Mike Theut at (989) 884-2722 for more information.
The lighthouse is owned by Middle Island Lighthouse Keepers Association, Inc.. Grounds and outbuildings open to overnight visitors and tours, tower closed.

Notes from a friend:Kraig writes:
We stayed in the fog signal building in September 2001 before it was officially opened for overnight guests. It was great to have the island to ourselves for a day. As I remember, about the only thing that wasn't quite finished was the outdoor shower. While we could shower, the water was not heated, and we were fully exposed to any passing vessels.....we thus had two reasons to keep the showers short. I definitely recommend spending a night or two on the island if you have the chance.

Re: timing with Play
I get the same result in 4.2 (under Windows). Not sure why. But you could try this modification: PlaySeq[L_, dur_] := Do[PlayTone[L[[i]], dur]; Pause[dur], {i, Length[L]}] Then PlaySeq[{224, 256, 384}, 3] seems to work as expected, prolonging the notes before the last one to their full expected duration.

New guidelines on the consumption of alcohol have been issued by the chief medical officers in the UK, for the first time in over 20 years.1
The expert group has updated the existing guidelines which had stood since 1995, with three areas in particular seeing significant changes. These are surrounding regular drinking, single drinking sessions and drinking while pregnant.
The new advice recommends both men and women drink no more than 14 units per week (roughly a bottle and a half of wine, or five strong pints of beer) which is a reduction of 7 units a week for men.
In addition to this, people who do drink on a regular basis are advised to spread their intake out across the week rather than 'save up' their units to drink all on one day - and also to have at least two or three alcohol-free days each week.
The guidelines also suggest that you shouldn't drink any alcohol at all if you find out you are pregnant, which minimises any risk to the baby.
The guidelines have been altered for a number of reasons, including a change in medical opinion over the healthy heart benefits to alcohol, an updated understanding of the impact of alcohol in cancer development, and to cover the short-term risks of alcohol, such as accidents.

I had to attend the Constitution Island fundraiser "Seafood Gala"
last night. I volunteered in the garden there from 1970-89, and
Chet has been on the board of directors since about 1975. It was
a beautiful evening, and I guess it was a really nice event - pretty
expensive at least - but I don't enjoy such events. There was a
bluegrass band - pretty good - and a big tent. The main feature
was lobster. There was a raw bar with oysters, but that didn't
attract me. The main course was a whole lobster, corn cob,
a scoop of mussels, and a small salad. The site is so beautiful.
I have always loved it. But I had just rather have been there
quietly without all the people trying to impress each other - lots
of retired military. And I really decided that I prefer Lobster Thermidor
to whole lobsters. They are much more trouble than they are

How to choose a thoughtful gift for Mother's Day
©iStockphoto.com/lisafx Image by: ©iStockphoto.com/lisafx
How to choose a thoughtful gift for Mother's Day
Here are some ways to choose great Mother's Day gifts.
Spend time with her
Most mothers just want to spend quality time with their kids on Mother's Day (no bickering!) and there's nothing better than making a memory together. Rather than wrapping up an item, try to think of something you can go out and experience together. Take her to her favourite restaurant or to an art exhibit or to walk the halls of a museum. She'll get to see something new and spend time with you at the same time. Lucky lady!
Spoil her
Mother's Day is all about Mom, so make sure you choose a thoughtful gift -- something she would never buy for herself. She may say she doesn't need new perfume, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want it. Think about something you know she'd like to have, but wouldn't splurge on for herself. She'll be tickled that you got it for her, even if she says it's too much!
Keep it simple
While you might be tempted to invest in a great new gadget or upgrade something she already has, try not to gift your mom with something she'll have to sit down and learn (or re-learn) how to use. That can start to feel like a chore, which is exactly the opposite of what you want to achieve. Look for a straightforward, thoughtful gift that she can use right away without any work or extra effort.
The exception to this is if your mom specifically asks for something with which she's unfamiliar. If you do pick it up for her, unwrap it together and figure out its ups and downs as a team.
Most importantly, on Mother's Day, remember that it's the thought that counts and that moms always recognize our best intentions. Remind her how much you love her and she'll be thrilled.
Happy Mother's Day! We picked out 10 thoughtful Mother's Day gifts under $50.

It is some weeks since the organisers of the home World Cup in 2015 took the most important single step towards making the global tournament fit for purpose by producing a fixture list that was something other than scandalously skewed towards the major contenders. Some of the so-called "minnow" nations might remain at a disadvantage, but the likes of Samoa and Italy – serious rugby nations who had grown used to being treated with contempt by the programme planners – will not be expected to play all four of their pool games in five minutes flat.
Those same organisers took another positive stride forward by unveiling a progressive ticketing policy that was fairer and more reasonable than it might have been. Not that the Rugby Football Union has turned Marxist overnight: premium viewing at the Twickenham final will cost upwards of £700; the best seats for the quarter-finals and semi-finals are hardly a snip at £500-plus; some tickets for the major pool games, including those featuring England, will set you back 41 times the current living wage rate. How on earth will Prince Harry afford it?
Yet the provision for children – every group match, including such show-stoppers as England-Wales at Twickenham, will offer cheap tickets for kids – is a welcome development and it comes as a pleasant surprise that rugger-buggers of the fully grown variety will be able to watch the Wallabies at Villa Park or the Springboks at the Olympic Stadium for £20 a throw. To be able to pop along to Kingsholm and see Tonga against, say, Georgia for the price of a round of beers is quite something in this day and age.
Where the announcement was not fair and reasonable, or anything like it, was in the timing of late kick-offs on major match days. The notion of arriving at Twickenham for an 8pm start on a Saturday night is gruesome enough. The idea of leaving the stadium, along with 82,000 others, some time after 10pm borders on the nightmarish. If you live in the area, you are now officially at risk of being trampled to death in the stampede of railway staff seeking voluntary redundancy.
This is a broadcasting call pure and simple, whatever was said to the contrary by the organisers, so praise be to the Great God Television – a contradictory beast that somehow achieves the simultaneous feats of giving life to professional sport while killing it at a touch. Not for the first time (and sure as eggs, it won't be the last), the match-day experience for the man, woman and child in the street has been sacrificed on the altar of the small screen. Fancy a convivial drink and a chewing of the fat after paying top dollar to watch England fight it out with Australia? Go for the "Sunday lunchtime in the local" option, on the basis that you might just have made it home by then.
It is tempting to wonder whether these people will ever learn. Back in 2011, some bright spark came up with the idea of scheduling the Six Nations game between Wales and England on a Friday night, thereby ensuring a rush-hour traffic jam that started in one of the competing countries and ended in the other. There was, naturally enough, a delayed kick-off. There was also all manner of fun and games at Cardiff railway station, which, inexplicably, was not designed to handle the sporting equivalent of the Red Army invading its platforms all at once.
Friday-night fixtures were dropped thereafter, but only temporarily: soon, they will be back at a stadium near you. The supporters may hate them like poison, but what's it to do with them? They're only the public, after all.

He is yet to be formally unveiled as a Manchester United player but Wilfried Zaha has already found himself in the eye of a twitterstorm.
Rumours swirled on the social networking site that the 20-year-old winger turned up to his medical at Manchester's Bridgewater Hospital wearing a t-shirt with a picture of Imogen Thomas on it.
However it has in fact been revealed that the T-shirt was simply bought at River Island and in stark contrast to the multi-million pound deal that the player was signing it cost only £8.
The image of the player had gone viral as thousands of people thought the youngster had made a major fashion faux-pas - particularly considering the alleged links between the glamour model and television personality and Ryan Giggs, one of United's most decorated players.
Fortunately for Zaha the truth was much more innocent and he can now get on with trying to get his current club, Crystal Palace, promoted before his big money move in the summer.Reuse content

Jake La Motta is a boxer whose psychological and sexual complexities erupt into violence both in and out of the ring. His brother, Joey, falls prey to Jake's mounting paranoia and jealousy, and fifteen-year-old Vickie, becomes Jake's most prized trophy. The same anger that drives Jake in the ring, ultimately drives him to beat his wife and brother, and sends Jake down a self-destructive spiral of paranoia and rage.

Please Select a Size
Follow up an application of Bio-Kleen Restore & Shine Xtra Cut with a Buffing Compound for the complete restoration and polish.
A Wool Compounding Pad is recommended to apply this product.
If you're simply looking for an excellent wax and the fiberglass does not need restoration try a Boat Wax.
Surface may need to be cleaned first with a Boat RV Wash and allowed to dry completely.
DIRECTIONS: Shake container well before and during use. Use a wool pad on a buffing wheel. Apply compound on wool pad. Before turning buffer power on, slide pad around on a 12" to 18" area. Use buffing wheel at 1000 to 1500 rpm. Buff area using light to medium pressure while wet; reduce pressure as compound begins to dry. Work the buffer back and forth, then up and down. Severe oxidation may require additional compound. Buff until surface is restored and polished. Repeat over entire surface.
Coverage Area - (1) 32oz will cover 500-1,000 sq. ft.
This is a demonstration video that shows how Bio-Kleen Restore & Shine and Bio-Kleen Restore & Shine Xtra Cut can be used to restore boat fiberglass in one to two easy steps.
How do you restore boat fiberglass that is severely oxidized without wetsanding? With Bio-Kleen Restore
& Shine. Restore paint, remove oxidation, remove swirl marks, restore color and repair damaged boat fiberglass gel coat in one to two easy steps. This product is used by professionals at marinas and marine detailing businesses but is also easy enough to use right at home.
This video was taken at Village Marina on Lake of the Ozarks, MO. They were impressed with how easy the product worked and how much time they could save while restoring a fiberglass boat. The Bio-Kleen Restore
& Shine allowed them to work the damaged fiberglass without drying out as other compounds do. They were also confident using this product cuts out several steps from the process and helps save money. Not only does the Bio-Kleen Restore
& Shine buff out oxidation, light scratches and swirl marks, but it polishes and seals the surface at the same time; leaving the fiberglass with a high gloss protective barrier and shine. See the difference of before and after in the video.
This next video focuses more on the demonstration process to restore color and shine back to a faded and oxidized colored fiberglass boat. This demonstration is completed using only the Bio-Kleen Restore & Shine Xtra Cut and just as in the last video, this product allows you to easily restore the color and shine back to your fiberglass in one easy step, not several as experienced with other compounds on the market. You can see that in addition to restoring the color the Bio-Kleen Restore & Shine Xtra Cut polishes and seals the fiberglass at the same time, adding remarkable shine and protection.

Is there a built in way to create a ButtonField object that does not follow the current theme of the Blackberry? I've had no luck so far in trying to override methods in ButtonField.
I thought this might work:
protected void drawFocus(Graphics graphics, boolean on) { XYRect focusRect = new XYRect(); getFocusRect(focusRect); graphics.setGlobalAlpha(150); graphics.setColor(0x00AA00000); graphics.fillRect(focusRect.x, focusRect.y, focusRect.width, focusRect.height); }
But it only draws the red rectangle around the text of the button. On my current device (ATT Curve with ATT theme), the whole button is a larger orange rounded rectangle.
I know that I can solve this by rolling a fully custom Field class, but I'm fishing to see if there might be an easier way to do this.
I also tried experimenting with the paint() method, and I don't seem to be able to get the full extent of the button field. Both getWidth and getPreferredWidth only give me the region directly around the text, and don't include the padded areas. If I could somehow get at the actual size of the button, my efforts at custom painting might be easier.
Thanks for any help!

Allegations of BP's Turtle Burning Add Fuel to the Fire
Recent reports that BP is burning oil-soaked sea turtles alive in its ham-handed efforts to control the Gulf spill have added fuel to the fire of outrage against the petroleum giant. And now, two animal conservation groups say they will sue BP and the U.S. Coast Guard to stop the deadly "controlled burns" aimed at removing surface oil.
In an effort to collect the oil, shrimp boats "corral" the black goo by dragging fire-resistant booms across the water to form enclosed "burn boxes," which are then set on fire. Reports are surfacing that indicate marine mammals are trapped in these boxes and carelessly burned alive. Furthermore, there are indications that BP is denying access to animal rescuers in what I would guess are (ironically) litigation concerns.
Well, so much for that. The Center for Biological Diversity and Turtle Island Restoration Network have released a 60-day notice letter, the first step to filing a lawsuit under the Endangered Species Act. Their official statements:
"The spill was tragically timed for sea turtles that are nesting in the Gulf right now. Newly hatched sea turtles are swimming out to sea and finding themselves in a mucky, oily mess. News that BP has blocked efforts to rescue trapped sea turtles before they're burned alive in controlled burns is unacceptable."
--Miyoko Sakashita, oceans director for the Center
"BP is burning turtles alive and it is cruel, heartless and a crime we can't and won't allow to continue. Sea turtles were critically endangered before BP created America's worst environmental catastrophe, and every effort possible must be taken to rescue endangered turtles from this oil spill. BP needs to reverse course and help double our efforts to rescue sea turtles, not prevent their recovery."
--Todd Steiner, biologist and executive director of Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN)
Allegedly among the burn casualties, the Kemp's ridley turtle, a very rare creature that is also critically endangered. Harming or killing even just one animal on the endangered species list can result in a fine of up to $50,000 and possibly prison time. At the rate that BP is racking up fines, lawsuits and overall bad karma, this legal case would presumably have to take a number.
Four other endangered sea turtle species are found in the Gulf of Mexico: greens, loggerheads, hawksbills and leatherbacks, and presumably they face the fires as well. All depend on the Gulf of Mexico for nesting, reproduction, feeding and migration. To complicate clean-up efforts, oil tends to collect in sargassum, a type of seaweed, where immature turtles and many other organisms live. So, burning the whole batch is a tragic baby-with-bathwater scenario.
"Unified Command is expanding turtle monitoring capability for both in-site burning and skimming. In addition a biologist will be on board one of the skimmers to also evaluate any risks to turtles. The idea of animals being burned alive is appalling to us.''
--Robert Wine, a BP press officer
Although BP claims to have a marine biologist on board, the two groups are asking BP and the Coast Guard to place "qualified observers" in the Gulf of Mexico who can survey and rescue endangered turtles and other wildlife.
"They ran us out of there and then they shut us down, they would not let us get back in there. Once the turtles get in there they can't get out. In the meantime, how many turtles got caught up and just burned?"
--Mike Ellis, a boat captain involved in sea turtle rescue, re: BP (See full interview by Catherine Craig at Green Energy News.)
In reaction to the disturbing news, nearly 130,000 people signed a CREDO Action petition, calling on BP to stop blocking efforts to rescue sea turtles. The petition was delivered to BP and the Coast Guard offices in Louisiana on June 28, although they are still taking signatures here.
The latest casualty count: 429 dead sea turtles have been collected in the spill region, and surely many more have not yet been found. Just when you think you can't fit any more lumps in your throat ... I just spent the last four days in the New Mexico desert, where I learned that the turtle is a sacred symbol among many Native American tribes -- they feel that the earth was formed on the shell of a turtle. And because they carry their houses -- or shells -- with them always, they represent home, leading me to propose we add another dirty adjective to BP: Homewreckers.
Meanwhile, the U.S. hatches a plan to save the next turtle generation ....
According to The Huffington Post, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is coordinating a massive operation to rescue -- by hand -- about 70,000 turtle eggs out of 800 nests from the Florida to Alabama. Many of the sandy nests will be loggerhead turtles, which are also a threatened species. The ambitious plan is the first of its kind and set to begin in approximately 10 days.
"We have a much higher degree of certainty that if we do nothing and we allow these turtles to emerge and go into the Gulf and into the oil ... that we could in fact lose most of them, if not all of them. There's a chance of losing a whole generation."
--Chuck Underwood, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Hats off to the dozens of workers who will be executing this delicate operation; it's not something that can be done with bulldozers. Each nest must be treated with caution and the eggs, once retrieved, cannot be rolled around or repositioned in any way, lest there be trauma to the embryo inside. Once placed in simulated nests of Styrofoam and sand, the embryos will live at the Kennedy Space Center until they emerge.
Then, one by one, they will be released on Florida's east coast, where they will (hopefully) swim away with nary a drop of crude in their future.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
He hit me with his vehicle. i didnt fpolice report he filed a claim and the company wants to settle. it was very scary and i was bhocked and bruised what does settle mean?
"Settle" means that the insurance company wants to offer you some money in exchange for you signing a release saying that you won't seek any additional recovery. You should not talk to the carrier, or agree to settle, or sign any document, without first talking to a local personaol injury lawyer to protect your rights.. I dont know when the injury happened, but you have two years from the date of injury within which to file a suit and, if the injury just happened, there is no rush to settle, especially if you are still needing medical care. Again, you should meet with a local attorney as soon as possible.. Initial consultations are ususally free. Good liuck..
General answers to legal questions such as this should not be construed as legal advice. Please consult with an attorney in person to obtain legal advice.
"Settle" means the insurance company wants to pay you some money in exchange for your binding agreement to release all your right to seek comensation or file suit in the future. If you sign the agreement, you will never be able to sue and receive money in the future. If you sustained a significant injury and have any question in your mind whether you want to bargain away your right to sue in the future, you should talk to a personal injury lawyer. Many such lawyers provide free initial consulation. Good luck.
This response is for information purpose only and does not constitute a legal advice. This response does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Before you settle any claim why not take advantage of the free initial consultation many consumer attorneys offer to discuss the facts of your claim in greater detail? Perhaps you have more significant injuries than you realize right now or ones thay may linger long beyond the time the settlement you are offered is exhausted. There is no harm in finding out all of your rights and that is what attorneys are supposed to do for injured people when feasible to do so.
If you are a potential client, the information you disclose to us by email will be kept in strict confidence and will be protected to the full extent of the law. Please be advised, however, that the Law Offices of Frank M. Nunes, Inc. and its lawyers do not represent you until you have signed a retainer agreement with the firm. Until that time, you are responsible for any statutes of limitations or other deadlines for your case or potential case.
You should retain an attorney. A "settlement" means you are signing a document that gives up all your legal rights in exchange for some amount of money. An attorney can help you make sure that you get all necessary medical treatment and obtain the maximum amount of recovery before coming to any settlement.
Nothing in this communication should be construed as creating an attorney client relationship. This is for informational purposes only. Attorney will take no action on your behalf unless and until a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict time deadlines on filing claims and, as such, you are advised to consult with and retain an attorney immediately to file such claims timely or you will lose any right to recovery.
Once your claim is settled, you will not be entitled to any further money or assistance from in relation to the injuries you sustained in the motor vehicle accident. My advice to clients is that they should not settle their claim until they know whether they will be able to return to work and their pre motor vehicle accident recreational activities and until their care givers are able to give them an indication of how their injuries are likely to affect them in the future. I tell clients that they do not have to be fully recovered prior to settling but it is necessary to know how the injuries are likely to affect them in the future. If there is a prognosis and the care givers are confident in their prognosis, the claim can be settled on the basis of the care giver's expectations.
Every case is unique and it is impossible without knowing all of the details of your particular claim to determine what will compromise fair and full compensation. In settling your claim you need to ensure that you are being compensated for your pain and suffering in a way that is similar to other individuals who have had the same injury as you. You want to make sure that you are being fully compensated for any wage loss that you have incurred, including any retraining that is going to be necessary or any modifications to you work environment. You need to ensure that if there is a possibility that in the future your ability to work will be affected by you injuries that you have been compensated for this. Finally, you must be compensated for all treatment expenses that you have incurred while ensuring that all treatment that has been recommended for you in the future is also being paid for.

You should consult with an experienced injury attorney before you have any more conversations with the insurance company. To settle means you are forever releasing the at fault party from any damage they may have caused you whether known or unknown.
Nothing to add to the previous answers as they all contain the same bottom line message... when settling with an insurance company, get a lawyer. I agree. That's more for the get an attorney side against... um... zero for the do it yourself side.

You are lucky that even though you didn't call the police to investigate, the teeenager admitted fault. A lot of times the at fault person, if not immediately confronted by the police, talks to friends and family members (who don't want their insurance rates to go up) and then comes up with a story that puts the blame on the victim.

text: We installed a new storm door with large opening (not full length opening). It's great in the cold months as the window lets in a lot of light. But when we have the screen installed people tend to push on the screen to open the door. I'd like to install a push bar across the screen to keep it from being destroyed. It's a high quality vinyl door (Harvey, I think) so I am trying to figure out how to add the push bar without it looking too tacky. And I want to be able to add it on so that it is very secure and doesn't fall off all the time. I've thought about adding a decorative metal grating to the bottom of the screen. Seen this type of grating in the hardware stores - comes in big sheets. I think that something more like a simple bar may work better. Looking for advice on what to use and how to attach it securely. Thanks.

WASHINGTON (AP) Parents appear to be talking more effectively with their children about the dangers of drug use, says a study being released Thursday.
"Parents are talking, and what you see in the study, particularly among the girls, is the willingness of kids to listen. They're more open to talking about the drug issue than kids in the past," said Steve Pasierb, president and chief executive of The Partnership for a Drug-Free America, which commissioned the study.
The annual survey found the number of teens who reported "learning a lot" from their parents about the risks of drug use rose last year to 37%, up from 32% the previous year. It marks the first compelling increase in that number in 15 years, and Pasierb considers it noteworthy.
"We know from the last 20 years of this study that kids who report learning a lot at home about the drug issue are half as likely to use as kids who don't get that at home," he said in an interview.
Also encouraging: declines in marijuana and methamphetamine use.
The percentage of teens who reported using pot — the most widely abused drug — at least once in their lives dropped last year to 33% from 37% in 2005, and meth use declined from 8% to 6%, the report said.
Teens reporting use of pot in the past month has dropped 30% since 1998, and 40% for methamphetamine abuse.
Parents, the study said, most often discuss alcohol and marijuana with their kids, followed by cocaine, crack and heroin. Farther down the list was prescription drugs. Only 24% of kids said their parents had discussed prescription drug abuse with them, compared with 78% for both alcohol and pot.
Pasierb said legal drugs, such as Vicodin, OxyContin and Ritalin, continue to be a concern. Teen abuse of prescription drugs has remained flat at 19% since 2005, the study found. "Parents don't think it's a problem and they think it's safer than illicit street drugs," he said.
Other findings:
_Girls are more likely than boys to report taking action to help a friend with a drug or alcohol problem, 45% compared with 38% for boys.
_Sixty-five percent of teens agreed strongly that kids who use steroids for athletic performance or physical appearance are putting their health at risk, down from 69% the previous year.
_Thirty-five percent of teens agreed strongly that they "don't want to hang around with anyone who uses marijuana" — up from 28% a decade ago.
The Partnership Attitude Tracking Study surveyed 6,518 teens in grades 7 through 12. Data was collected from questionnaires that kids filled out anonymously from April to June 2008. The study has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.3 percentage points.
The New York-based Partnership is a nonprofit group that aims to reduce the use of illicit drugs.

Ifo President Sinn sees no effect in rate cut and criticizes bond purchases by ECB
Sep 4, 2014
For Ifo President Hans-Werner Sinn, the European Central Bank's surprising interest-rate cuts from 0.15 percent to 0.05 percent will have no effect.
"The ECB used up its ammunition much too early and cut interest rates by too much. Now it is in a liquidity trap. At this point, there is not much it can do", he said on Thursday. "Unfortunately, this also indicates the purchase of bonds by the ECB. In so doing, it would take on the investment risk of investors, which the ECB is not authorised to do as this is a fiscal and not a monetary policy measure. Such a policy would be at the expense of European taxpayers, who would have to pay for the losses incurred by the ECB."

Believe it or not, I actually looked down for one second during the half-time show and missed seeing Janet Jackson's boob. Damnit! This is always my luck. I am going to have to hand in my "Guy Membership" card soon.
In any case, you know this whole thing was staged. Think about it. Year after year, people turn away from the Super Bowl halftime show to watch other networks or go throw up that Bean Dip they were washing down with gin. This year you could even watch the "Lingerie Bowl" on the old Pay-Per-View. You get your jollies watching scantily clad models wrestle for a football and come in Monday morning to tell everyone and all they are talking about is "The Boob."
Damn! Next year you make note to watch the Super Bowl halftime. Simply brilliant, huh?
Another hint that this was coming (aside from the fact that CBS was promising a "Surprise Guest" during the spectacular… who would have thought it would be a breast? That was way better than my guess of Madonna.) was during the coin toss. Do you remember who tossed the coin?
Yep. That's right. Hall of Famer Y. A. Tittle. That's Tit -tle. That's like in the exasperated statement "Why a Tit!"
The only thing I am left with today, having missed this particular nip-synch performance, is the nagging thought that somehow Janet's other breast feels left out. I mean how would you feel if your twin had just become the most observed yabbaho in the history of mankind?
