What a filthy mouth you have.
Maybe your 'love' could actually pay for his own healthcare instead of demanding others pay it for him. If he's a poster child for subsidies he's a loaf, an unproductive member of society. If he really needs subsidies he will be eligible for Medicaid.
A free press needs to do its job. The problem is very few media outlets have the capability to do the reporting that is necessary to keep clowns honest. There are ten million stories a day and almost no one doing them, especially positive stories. There are hundreds of successes, and teachers busting their butts everyday in TUSD and all you hear is TUSD has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. There are hundreds of truly monstrous bills in the cesspool called the Arizona legislature, and you hear about almost none of them. We need a strong free press, that is what I heard constantly at the book festival and it's true.
You didn't say anything about using the same name. You accused someone of being anonymous, which makes you a hypocrite.
Also, you're not messaging back and forth with me in Danehy land. I've only posted here under the username you'll see below. I didn't post under the name "C orn W hole 13" here or anywhere else.
It's not just one person who keeps changing their username to respond to your trolling. You need to realize that you actually have a fan club full of people out there who are willing to challenge you in the arena of ideas.
I could stop responding to you for good and you're still going to get responses from the others. You should be proud that you've attracted an audience.
No,but I stick with the same name. Have for years. Like I said over in Danehy land, I'm done with you. I love how you know all about President Trump's taxes. The Weekly's answer to Rachel Maddow. Another loser. Bye.
You accuse people of being Ms. Anonymous?
So, that would make you a hypocritical jackass, unless the name on your birth certificate reads "CW13".
OR if you legally changed your name to CW13.
I'd bet all the tax money that Trump has paid beyond 2005 that neither of the above sentences are true.
So, if you're willing to lose about $3, bet me on that challenge.
We have hard-copy subscriptions to 2 newspapers, digital subscriptions to another 3 and donate to the aforementioned independent local news outlet. And we patronize many of the Weekly's subscribers. And thank them for doing so.
It's the patriotic thing to do. And an homage to my old man who owned an 8-page weekly in my rural rustbelt red-state hometown.
Ms. Anonymous strikes again. Notice she has not one instance or fact to back her claim. She's really great at name calling though.
Yes that same racist asshole Donald Trump. What more facts do you need than everything he has ever said about "the blacks" or "the Mexicans"? Oh that's right, this is not a serious objection. Just comment trolling! D'oh! I fell into your trap yet again!
Are you talking about the same Trump who you said was a racist but couldn't back with any facts?
I admired Judy Burns for years. I collected signatures for her, because she was the best TUSD Board member I had ever seen. I believe Judy Burns would have been happy to serve on a Board with Rachel Sedgwick. Rachel is picking up where Judy Burns, unfortunately for us and her family, left off. Rachel is doing her homework and asking questions. She is challenging the status quo, big time!
Go Rachel!
I just read the recent articles related to TUSD and the board meetings. I also read the comments.
What stands out in the comment section:
--A lot of adult names (Rachel/Adelita/Judy/Kristle, etc.), with vitriol about perceived who-did-what-to-who
--Partisan commentary
Missing from the commentary: Constructive, thoughtful conversation about the 48,000+ kids in Tucson who attend TUSD schools. The families. The teachers. The volunteers. The principals. There's a lot of really good people in these groups working hard right now to do right by kids and improve the schools. All these groups, of course, really pay the price each time the school board is used as a partisan [and obviously personal] grudge-match.
Why are TUSD stories by Danyelle Khmara multiplying like rabbits, many of them re-postings of the same information?
Is someone hoping that they'll wear the commenters out and eventually people will stop doing, in the comment streams, the job Khmara and other TW bloggers and reporters have a hard time doing in the main post: providing reasonably complete and balanced information on TUSD?
Ms. Herreras: TUSD is a complicated subject. You shouldn't take young bloggers and throw them in at the deep end of the pool. Perhaps David Safier is taking one of his periodic "personal breaks" from trying to propagandize about the district. He won't be missed. But if you're trying to fill in the gaps, do please try to find someone who didn't just start watching Board meetings last month and who has no on-the-ground experience in the schools with which they can compare the BS various factions dish out as "information."
Once again, the Tucson Weekly is spreading Grijalvista talking points instead of doing actual journalism. If you actually took the time to look into the facts, instead of believing the lies and excuses of the Grijalva Political Machine; you might actually learn something!
Can you believe? I have more to add. The bottom line is that Hicks and Stegeman were indeed awful around MAS. And Foster and Grijalva were indeed horrible around desegregation and any sort of supervision of a Superintendent that was gaining raises every time he turned around. So what, exactly, is the problem with having a swing vote on there to neutralize the worst of the leadership abuses we have seen? If Foster and Grijalva were not running such a HUGE amount of interference, we would all be more easily able to see the number of unanimous votes that have been taken, and we would all more easily be able to see possibilities for both "sides" to win a little, lose a little. After a period in which only one side won ALL OF THE TIME that should make many people breathe a little more easily.
You know, I too cannot stand What's Up usual comments. But I do have to thank him or her for re-posting http://tucson.com/news/local/education/new…
for a good giggle. This is great leadership, right? Its worth a morning guffaw to see the Superintendent "not recall" that he had actually met Ms. Grijalva's mother in law, and then asked her if she would like to become part of the TUSD family, and finally discounted the person ahead of her in line according to ALL the reviewers because of not having long term certification. Sanchez himself was required to have certification, one would assume IN Arizona, but never did. One wonders if exposing this lie, i.e. actually DOING HER JOB is one reason why Huicochea doesn't cover TUSD anymore, and if, given the Boe-inspired media contract, one reason why the Arizona Daily Star hardly covers it either?!
I remember those days too, Mari. I remember them well. The difference between us though is that I never tuned out after giving a chance to the new Board that disposed of Pedicone. I gave them a chance, and I gave Sanchez a chance. If you look through the archives, you will even find pro-Sanchez quotes under my name. But I pretty quickly saw through the smoke and mirrors because I was in the schools and on the ground and not being beholden to any machine or political operatives, the Board disfunction, the over centralization,the mandates and the lies were overwhelming, as students lost funding and importance, and administrators multiplied like mushrooms. Did others stay in touch and keep up? Not so much. The political machine that is so vocal now? Many not at all!
And frankly, since you ask, I think Judy Burns would be very very happy about Rachael Sedgwick's performance on the dais. Don't forget how hard teachers, unions and administrators disliked Judy before she got on the Board. Don't forget that they kept her from her seat for three elections, and she only won on the fourth because no one else ran for the spot. They learned their lesson then, right? The elections now are a sea of people, about half of whom seem to be sent to run with no intention of doing anything but keeping others from winning. Since Judy died while in office, she has been lionized by the very machine that impeded her initial attempts to get on the Board. She was a fearless advocate for students from all over the district, and could be quite irritating with her incredibly specific questions ...She encouraged me to run, and I think (everyone will correct me if I am wrong!) she even suggested or encouraged that Mark Stegeman run. So lets not 'tokenize' her just because she's no longer around to set the record straight.
When, in the last meeting, Rachael questioned an item that was in the consent agenda that was so poorly written that it didn't even make clear what was to be voted on, that was a pure Judy Burns moment. Having done her homework, unlike the rest of the Board members, she started asking questions and sure enough the administrators who had reflexively put a completely untransparent item on the consent agenda were instructed to bring it back when it makes sense. If I am not wrong, that first instruction was from Adelita, desperately trying to save some semblance of focus, order and procedure after Kristle turned the questioning into yet another attack on Rachael. Was the poorly written item malicious lack of transparency or just sheer incompetence? I think Judy would have been quite proud that it was uncovered in either case.
The "king" (notice the purposely used lower case k) of Tucson bigots is calling out bigots.
The lowly troll that uses "I'm rubber, you're glue" as his calling card will be noticed by those who have brains.
You're done W, A.
You were actually done years ago, but you just don't understand reality.
...and she never mentions Adelita. I wonder why? Tucson children deserve better than TUSD.

I have a ListView with CheckBox on each row. I want to realize a functionality to remember the CheckBox status if the users checked some one.
I tried to use a signal when the CheckBox is checked to notify a function in a CPP to remember the current check box status but when I want to refer with the context property object registed of that CPP, it always say this object can not be found.
Do you know how to realize this kind of functionality? Or how to iterate all the checkbox in the ListView? Thank you so much.
listItemComponents: [ ListItemComponent { type: "textItem" TextItem { id: textitem onItemcheck: { _app.setCheckboxStatus(checkBoxId); //ReferenceError Can not find variable _app } } } ] mainApp.cpp: qml->setContextProperty("_app", this); TextItem.qml: signal itemcheck(string checkBoxId) CheckBox { onCheckedChanged: { if (checked) itemcheck(ListItemData.id); } }
Solved! Go to Solution.
to resolve referance error pls do folowing
listItemComponents: [ ListItemComponent { type: "textItem" TextItem { id: textitem onItemcheck: { textitem.ListItem.view.setCheckboxStatus(checkBoxId); } } } ] function setCheckboxStatus(checkBoxId) { _app.setCheckboxStatus(checkBoxId); }
Add setCheckboxStatus function to ListView
With your solution, this issue is fixed. Thank you so much.
May you also be able to show the reference of your solution? I am wondering I could learn more stuff by that reference. Thank you.
I don't have any referance source code for you.
from https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/referenc
A ListItemComponent is a QML template that's used by the ListView to present data from the model. A ListItemComponent can be attached to a list view using theListView::listItemComponents property, and it can contain whatever visual controls that you want to display in your list item.
If item visuals are created from a ListItemComponent, ListView makes the following properties available on the root element of the item visual:
ListItem.initialized - States whether the item visual is initialized or not. true when initialization of the item visual is finished (all properties have been updated to reflect the current item),false when the item visuals become disconnected due to recycling. Explicit animations etc must not be started when the value of initialized is false.
ListItem.data - The QVariant returned by DataModel::data() for this item. Typically aQVariantMap or QObject* which means that data has properties of its own (e.g.ListItem.data.firstName), but could also be just a QString if that's the kind of QVariantthe currently connected DataModel returns.
ListItem.indexInSection - The index for this item amongst its siblings. The siblings are those items that have the same parent as this item.
ListItem.indexPath - The index path identifying this item in its DataModel.
ListItem.sectionSize - The number of child items that the parent item of this item has.
ListItem.view - The ListView in which this item is visible. The item is in a context separate from the ListView, so any symbols from the ListView context that are to be accessible from items must be placed as dynamic properties on the ListView.
ListItem.component - The ListItemComponent that this item visual has been created from. The item visuals are in a context of their own, so any symbols from the ListItemComponentcontext that are to be accessible from item visuals must be placed as dynamic properties on theListItemComponent.
ListItem.active - true if this item is active, false otherwise. An item is typically active if the user is holding a finger on it.
ListItem.selected - true if this item is selected, false otherwise. An item is typically selected if the user intends to access details for the item, or to perform an action on the item.
I am so appreciated with your detail reference. It is just what I need.

jet performance module stage 1/2 info
Hello guys.Is any of you used this tuning on 2005 3.7 v6 gc ? What is better - hypertech max energy or jet performance module? Will this tuning gain also some mpg along with horsepower ? I am aware that hypertech have more tuning options but all i need is 2-3 mpg more and some extra power...I also dont know which Jet stage to choose-1 or 2. On my 05 wk 3,7 v6 4x4 i have only K&N CAI and no other mods...Thanks for replies.
Re: jet performance module stage 1/2 info
I would stay away from the jet chips. i would either go with hypertech or, since you have a 05 talk to flyinryan about a custom sct tune. lots of good reviews there. search for the 3.7 performance love thread. whatever way you choose to go leave a review on how u like it :)
Re: jet performance module stage 1/2 info
I had the JET stage 2. Did ok, but the SCT is a game changer!
Sold the JET and went with SCT. Email FR and see about getting an SCT. Us with the '05s are a select few the SCT works with. |
Re: jet performance module stage 1/2 info
The tunes for the 3.7s are still a work in progress (awaiting more datalogs) but the first few files even running on USA-grade 87 octane indicate both power and mileage gains with improved drivability. I can ship internationally as well.
Re: jet performance module stage 1/2 info
had the jet stage 2. worked at first, then the pcm started to ignore it so i went to hypertec, but still not impressed. it works, but i feel theres more there to be gained. id talk to FR for SCT tune, but i have an 08 and that wont work unless it can be cracked

Stasis chamber
Redirected from Stasis tube
this wiki
A stasis chamber (also called a stasis unit, stasis pod, stasis tube, or bio-pod) was a device used to preserve life. It was often a coffin-shaped device designed for the preservation of critically injured or terminally ill patients until their conditions could be stabilized in a fully equipped medical facility.
The stasis unit suspended all cellular activity and disease processes, keeping the patient from succumbing to their illness or injury for an indefinite period. The device was not meant for saving a dead patient. However, it could preserve brain activity for a few hours at most. Time was required to get the ailing patient into the unit before they succumbed, presumably so that more time was available as they came out of stasis to effect proper treatment. (TOS: "Space Seed"; TNG: "Reunion"; Star Trek Into Darkness)
T'Les had a stasis unit in her home on Vulcan. She used it to keep fruits, such as gespar, fresh. When T'Les' daughter T'Pol and Charles Tucker III visited the residence in 2154, the stasis unit was broken, though Tucker soon managed to repair it. (ENT: "Home")
The stasis chamber at Cold Station 12 contained over eighteen thousand stasis globes, each containing an Augment embryo. An access code was required in order to enter the stasis chamber. The chamber was breached by Doctor Arik Soong and the Augment Lokesh in 2154. (ENT: "Cold Station 12")
Stasis units became standard equipment on Starfleet vessels, including the Galaxy-class and Defiant-class starships.
The Rakhari Croden held his daughter Yareth in a stasis pod in a cavern on an asteroid in the Chamra Vortex to prevent her being killed by the Rakhari government. (DS9: "Vortex")
The last of the Vaadwaur species placed themselves into underground stasis units, which they called bio-pods, in the 15th century to survive the destruction of their civilization. The pods malfunctioned, and so the Vaadwaur did not awaken until Seven of Nine activated the pods in 2376. (VOY: "Dragon's Teeth")
The subjects of a failed Cardassian experiment involving psychotropic drugs were left in stasis tubes aboard Empok Nor when the station was abandoned. The soldiers were accidentally reawakened when a salvage team from Deep Space 9 arrived in 2373. (DS9: "Empok Nor")
When Kathryn Janeway and Chakotay were infected with an insect-transmitted virus on a planet in the Delta Quadrant in 2372, The Doctor kept them in stasis chambers while he searched for a cure. After he was unsuccessful, the chambers were sent down to the planet so that the infection would not spread to the rest of the crew. (VOY: "Resolutions")
Danube-class vessels were equipped with stasis chambers. (DS9: "Change of Heart")
In late 2374, the entire crew of Voyager entered stasis units for protection, while Voyager crossed a Mutara class nebula that emitted lethal levels of subnucleonic radiation. Only The Doctor and Seven of Nine remained awake to operate the ship. (VOY: "One")
The crew of the USS Equinox modified a stasis chamber into a multiphasic chamber in the 2370s to first study, then exploit nucleogenic lifeforms. (VOY: "Equinox")
Lyndsay Ballard reported that after her death in 2374, she woke up in a stasis chamber surrounded by aliens, who had told her they had reanimated her body. (VOY: "Ashes to Ashes")
Related topics Edit
Background information Edit
The stasis chamber seen in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Vortex" was designed by Rick Sternbach who drew the sketch. (DS9 Season 1 DVD special feature "Deep Space Nine Sketchbook")

Parts Used & Where Grown
The small, green chickweed plant originated in Europe, but now grows across the United States. The leaves, stems, and flowers are used medicinally.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for | Why |
1 Star
Breast-Feeding Support
Refer to label instructions
Chickweed is a soothing herb that can relieve sore nipples. Experts recommend moistening the herb with boiling water, wrapping it in gauze, and applying to the breasts.
For sore nipples, some healthcare practitioners may recommend a warm, moist poultice of herbs with demulcent (soothing) properties. Demulcents are traditionally used to aid healing and soothe any irritated tissue. Examples of herbs traditionally used as demulcents to relieve sore nipples are marigold (Calendula officinalis), comfrey (Symphytum officinalis), and chickweed (Stellaria media). To prepare a poultice, the dried herbs are moistened with boiling water and wrapped within two layers of gauze. The poultice is then applied to the breasts. Application of a hot water bottle over the poultice will keep the poultice warm longer. Any residue should be washed from the breast before the baby breast-feeds. Individuals wishing to use herbs during breast-feeding should do so only under the supervision of a qualified healthcare practitioner. |
1 Star
Refer to label instructions
Topical preparations containing calendula, chickweed, or oak bark have been used traditionally to treat people with eczema.
1 Star
Insect Bites and Stings
Refer to label instructions
Chickweed is sometimes used topically to alleviate itching secondary to insect bites. It contains relatively high amounts of vitamins, which may partly explain its use as a topical treatment for skin irritations and itching.
Chickweed is sometimes used topically to alleviate itching secondary to insect bites. It is often applied as a cream several times daily to rashes and inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema, to ease itching and inflammation.3 The active constituents in chickweed are largely unknown. It contains relatively high amounts of vitamins (such as vitamin C) and flavonoids, which may partly explain its use as a topical treatment for skin irritations and itching.
1 Star
Poison Oak/Ivy
Refer to label instructions
Chickweed has been used historically to treat skin inflammations such as poison oak and poison ivy.
A great many plants have been used historically to treat skin inflammations like poison oak and poison ivy dermatitis. Examples include calendula (Calendula officinalis), blood root (Sanguinaria canadensis), Virginia snakeroot (Aristolachia serpentaria), holy basil (Ocimum tenuifolium), and chickweed (Stellaria media). None of these remedies has been subjected to controlled clinical studies to determine if they are safe and effective for this use. Cooling essential oils, such as peppermint and menthol, have also been used topically to relieve burning pain and itch. Such oils should not be applied full-strength, but should rather be diluted (for example in lotion or gel) to avoid further skin irritation. |
Traditional Use (May Not Be Supported by Scientific Studies)
Chickweed was reportedly used at times for food.1 It enjoys a reputation in folk medicine for treating a wide spectrum of conditions, ranging from asthma and indigestion to skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis. It is sometimes used to alleviate itching secondary to insect bites.
How It Works
How It Works
The active constituents in chickweed are largely unknown. It contains relatively high amounts of vitamins (e.g. vitamin C) and flavonoids, which may partly explain its effectiveness as a topical treatment for skin irritations and itching. Although some older information suggests a possible benefit for chickweed in rheumatic conditions, this has not been validated in clinical trials.4
How to Use It
Although formerly used as a tea, chickweed is mainly used today as a cream applied liberally several times each day to rashes and inflammatory skin conditions (e.g., eczema) to ease itching and inflammation.5 As a tincture, 1/4–1 teaspoon (1–5 ml) per day can be taken three times per day. Two teaspoonfuls (10 grams) of the dried herb may also be drunk as a tea three times daily.

HDR Expose 3 and 32 Float v3
These upgrades improve the HDR workflow and significantly reduce the traditional limitations of HDR techniques, and most notably eliminate the need to photograph static scenes and the absolute necessity of a tripod to steady HDR exposures. New state of the art merge, alignment and deghosting algorithms have made the standalone HDR Expose 3 the most powerful and intuitive professional HDR application available. With its comprehensive, 32-bit color editing capabilities, also available in the Photoshop plug-in 32 Floatv3, the upgraded software ensures photographers can realize their vision for the most true-to-life HDR images possible.
The single most frustrating issue cited by HDR photographers, and a major impediment to those adopting HDR techniques, is the complexity of working with multiple exposures. Because the bracketed exposures must be perfectly aligned to prevent ghosting artifacts, often requiring a tripod, HDR was limited to near-motionless scenes. Single pass tone mapping very wide dynamic range scenes to preserve consistent contrast and detail across the whole tonal range, from dark shadows to bright highlights, has also been a challenge for many. To address these pain points, the company's R&D team have taken its proprietary Beyond RGB color technology to the next level, and reengineered the software with an intuitive combination of merge, alignment and deghosting and adaptive tone mapping algorithms that will change the way photographers approach HDR.
In his early testing of the new software upgrades, professional photographer, and author of HDRLabs.com and the new HDRI Handbook 2.0, Christian Bloch, said of the applications, "The true benefit of Unified Color programs lies in their Beyond RGB color technology which always treats color and luminance channels independently from each other. That means colors stay closer to the original capture - oversaturation artifacts, cross-channel pollution, and undesired color shifts simply don't occur." says Bloch. "My favorite features are the ability to perform very precise color tweaks and white balance adjustments, while keeping the output in full 32-bit. This is what makes HDR Expose 3 (and its sibling 32 Float v3) mature tools for professional HDR work."
Key upgrades will ease the planning process behind HDR photography, making the creation of HDR images possible even when a tripod, long a mainstay of the HDR workflow, is not on-hand. While every photographer has their own limitations in terms of shutter speed and ability, they will now be able to create these images without a tripod as long as they are able to capture sharp, rapid-fire exposures. This technological advancement is made possible by a series of breakthroughs, including:
* New Adaptive Tone Mapping: This new capability automatically enhances control over local contrast, color, and detail retention within the all-important highlight areas of a merged HDR image while maintaining optimal contrast and color in darker areas of the image. This new functionality will be especially welcomed by professionals when photographing interior and exterior real estate.
* Upgraded Alignment Capabilities: HDR Expose now offers two completely redesigned alignment options: a fully automatic option with key frame selection and, for the most challenging exposure series, a manual assist option. Powered by redesigned alignment algorithms, the software can detect specific image features and calculate necessary transformations in order to provide optimal fitting and alignment.
* Reengineered Deghosting Algorithms: HDR Expose will now feature local and global deghosting algorithms to mitigate movement within or through the scene by working off of a key frame (against which all others are automatically compared and analyzed for moving objects.) Users can rely on the fully automatic deghosting default, increase control over the process by choosing optimal key frames, or take full control with powerful local deghosting tools to select individual objects for inclusion or removal.
* New File Browser: To help manage the multiple exposures, HDR Expose now offers a new file browser functionality that displays thumbnails rather than just file names, and automatically detects and groups exposure brackets for the merge process. For working professionals processing entire HDR shoots, the program also includes a batch merge that can automatically group, merge and apply presets to an entire shoot simultaneously.
* Improved Color Safe Dodge and Burn Brush: Leveraging the power of the software's Beyond RGB color space, the dodge and burn brush allows photographers to selectively lighten and darken areas of the image without changing or shifting colors. The new 500 pixel brush is better suited for larger higher resolution files.
The standalone HDR Expose 3 also includes workflow-saving import/export plug-ins which are fully compatible with Adobe Lightroom® 5 and the latest version of Apple® ApertureTM.
32 Float V3
While HDR Expose is ideal for photographers seeking a standalone HDR solution, Unified Color recognized that those maintaining a Photoshop-centric workflow often expanded 32-bit color editing and HDR tone mapping options (most adjustment controls are unavailable for the full 32-bit files created during an HDR merge). For these photographers, 32 Float v3 provides that full range of image editing tools, also native to HDR Expose, all in a convenient Photoshop filter plug-in.

Newly constructed ramps to and from the Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge in Rockaway will reopen to motorists on May 22nd, just in time for Memorial Day weekend and the kick–off of beach season.
"We promised to try and complete the ramp reconstruction work before this important weekend," said Adrian Moshe, Facility Engineer for both the Cross Bay and Marine Parkway–Gil Hodges Memorial bridges. "We are pleased to turn over these like–new ramps to our customers."
The north–bound ramp onto the bridge has been closed since December 2008, and the south–bound ramp off the bridge has been closed since February of this year. During these periods vehicles and buses were required to use detour routes. Buses will return to their original routes beginning Saturday, May 23rd.
While major work on all bridge ramps has concluded, there may be instances of isolated daily closures until the entire project comes to an end in 2010. This access is timely, since traffic increases considerably in the summer months. July is historically the month with highest traffic volume at Cross Bay; there were 740,000 crossings in July 2008 vs. the lowest volume in February 2008 with 558,000 crossings. The Cross Bay Bridge had more than 7.6 million vehicles crossing its span in 2008.
Rehabilitation work on the roadway deck, ramps and pedestrian path (which re–opened last October) is part of MTA Bridges and Tunnels' overall $56.9 million four–year deck reconstruction of the 38–year old bridge that will continue through spring 2010. Three decades of wear–and–tear in the salt–water environment of the Rockaways made the work necessary. El Sol Contracting & Construction Corp. of Maspeth, Queens is the contractor for the job.
"This major project will improve the riding surface and generally upgrade the bridge for our customers," said John Ryder, General Manager for the agency's two Rockaways crossings. "We thank everyone–customers and local residents–for their patience as the work has progressed."
The agency has been regularly briefing local community groups and elected officials about progress on each phase of the project.
The Cross Bay Bridge ties the Rockaways, Broad Channel and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge to the rest of Queens. The bridge, which opened to traffic in 1970, is a high–level fixed bridge with a concrete deck; it has six lanes of traffic (three 12–feet wide lanes in each direction), crossing over Beach Channel.
MTA Bridges and Tunnels' facilities, which connect the five boroughs of New York City, are the Robert F. Kennedy (formerly Triborough), Throgs Neck, Bronx–Whitestone, Henry Hudson, Verrazano–Narrows, Cross Bay Veterans Memorial and Marine Parkway–Gil Hodges Bridges, and the Queens Midtown and Brooklyn–Battery Tunnels. The agency is the largest toll authority in the nation, helping more than 800,000 vehicles and more than a million people reach their destination each day.

How We Work
- Grasslands are open areas dominated by perennial grasses and occasionally broken by stands of trees. They vary in appearance but share typical characteristics: hot summers, a tolerance for drought and low rainfall, and an intolerance of shade.
- Grasslands are an anomaly in the natural world, straddling the ground between forest and desert: slightly more rainfall would have resulted in forest; less rainfall, in desert.
- Grasslands are considered to be one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America and worldwide.
- Colorado has lost approximately 35% of its central shortgrass prairie.
- More than 800 million people live in grassland ecosystems all over the world.
- Only 0.1% of the tallgrass prairie in North America has not been degraded.
The Conservancy is working to create a lasting, tangible and large-scale conservation impact on Colorado's grasslands. Below are three important projects from the often overlooked, but incredibly significant, prairie of eastern Colorado that demonstrate our work.
Making the Connection between the Mountains and the Plains
The Conservancy and our partners are working to protect the last intact landscape north of Douglas County where native grasslands still merge with Front Range mountains. In partnership with Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins, we are working to conserve up to 70,000 acres of Front Range grasslands, including some of the most intact productive ranchland along the entire corridor.
While we have worked in the Laramie Foothills for almost 20 years, only recently have our efforts resulted in such a grand opportunity to work with private landowners and local government to achieve large-scale success. The City of Fort Collins has enthusiastically embraced the Mountains to Plains Project. Together with the City and Larimer County, we have submitted a concept paper to the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund (GOCO), encouraging the state to provide significant funding for this $20+ million project.
Mitigating the Impact of Colorado's Highways
Shortgrass prairie is among the most imperiled ecosystems in North America. As such, the Conservancy has sought out partners who can best help us protect remaining intact prairie and the diverse wildlife it supports. One of our most effective partnerships is with the Colorado Department of Transportation. Together, we have launched the Shortgrass Prairie Initiative.
This initiative emerged from a shared vision that public transportation agencies could more effectively use environmental mitigation dollars to recover declining ecosystems. By looking ahead and estimating the damage to natural areas caused by road-widening activities, the Colorado Department of Transportation can direct funding nowto recover and preserve similar habitat outside of the state's major transportation corridors.
Partnering with the Department of Defense
In the past several months, we have developed another promising grasslands project, with what may at first seem like an unusual partner—the Department of Defense (DoD).The DoD manages 25 million acres nationwide, lands which harbor numerous threatened and endangered species. Recently, the DoD awarded the Conservancy nearly $300,000 to update our Central Shortgrass Prairie Ecoregional Assessment. This assessment will identify plants, animals and natural processes within this ecoregion, which covers the eastern plains of Colorado and portions of Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. The assessment will also recommend a portfolio of conservation areas necessary for protecting the region's full range of natural diversity.
Additionally, the Conservancy has been working with the DoD to protect "buffer areas"—lands that border military bases—in southeastern Colorado. The DoD seeks to guard against residential encroachment, while the Conservancy seeks to protect habitat for plants and animals within those buffer zones. Together, we have already invested in a conservation lease that protects prairie habitat bordering the entire southern boundary of Fort Carson, south of Colorado Springs.

In PLR 20113041, the IRS revoked the tax exemption of a public charity based on excess benefit and private inurement issues. This ruling highlights practices that charities should avoid in order to maintain their tax-exempt status.
The charity's primary purpose was to pursue the study of how the interaction of land use, disturbance, and climate impact the structure and biodiversity of a particular region, and publish papers relating to such study. The charity had only one staff member who also functioned as the President. The charity's governing board consisted of three immediate family members - the President, his father (Vice President), and his wife (Secretary/Treasurer).
The IRS noted that the President had no employment contract with the charity and the charity itself had no Conflict of Interest Policy in place to determine how any conflicts, potential or actual, would be addressed.
The charity's records demonstrated that the President "consistently utilized" the charity's income for private purposes. Among the most egregious examples, the charity's records established that:
1. The President routinely made "loans to officers," but never fully substantiated the purpose of these loans. Moreover, the charity's board approved these loans, which were withdrawals from the charity's checking account and payments for the President's personal expenses, "after the fact." Note that since the charity had no Conflict of Interest Policy, the President who made these loans in the first place, then approved these "loans" with his wife and father. All of these amounts went into a "Loans to Officers" account and inadequate records were kept on how this money was spent to further the charity's exempt purposes.
2. The President sold luxury vehicles to the charity, but never transferred title, and performed upgrades without being able to prove that the vehicle even existed or was owned by the charity. Similarly, the charity paid for the President's car expenses without asking for business substantiation for these expenses.
3. The charity paid the President's personal legal expenses.
Interestingly, the IRS focused on the President's withdrawals from the charity's accounts that could not be substantiated as being for the furtherance of the charity's exempt purpose and also touched on ways in which the governing board was not providing proper oversight. In fact, the IRS noted that the charity's inurement issues and excess benefit transactions "resulted from the organization being under the control of one-person with a family-based governing board."
Moreover, the IRS noted that because of the charity's structure, "sufficient safeguards ha[d] not been put in place to prevent future violations...." Charities should be aware that governing procedures and policies, including a Conflict of Interest Policy and a recordkeeping policy, can provide these types of safeguards and help an organization function more efficiently and effectively. In fact, this ruling is a staunch reminder that these policies should be used where appropriate and tailored to the needs of each organization.
This ruling should force each charity to examine its organizational and governing structures to ensure that its board constitutes an independent body so that, unlike the charity here, its governing board has no "inherent conflict of interest when placed in a position to approve financial transactions...."
The amount of compensation paid was also at issue here because the President's salary was considered excessive based on the size of the organization's budget. Accordingly, charities, particularly smaller charities, should use comparability data, to the extent possible, in determining the salaries of its various officers and other staff. Also, having a well-written employment contract with senior employees or officers may help a charity better defend the terms and scope of an employee's or officer's employment and compensation.
This ruling confirms that the IRS is paying close attention to what charities are doing in their "back" offices. Consequently, charities that are not exercising good governance practices will certainly be at risk for revocation of their tax-exempt status.
For additional information on good governance practices for charities, please see our Good Governance, Getting Back to Basics, and Lessons Learned blog entries.

Jarome Iginla scores for KidSport™
by Staff Writer / Calgary Flames CALGARY, AB – KidSport™ Calgary is proud to announce that Calgary Flames Captain Jarome Iginla has reached a milestone for the organization – over $500,000 in donations since the year 2000. Iginla began assisting KidSport™ Calgary by donating $1,000 per goal to the organization in the 2000-01 season. Following the NHL lock out in 2004-05, Iginla increased his contribution to $2,000 per goal. The extra $1,000 donation is directed to KidSport™ Canada, benefitting youth from coast to coast and locally.
Iginla's Scoreboard of Support for KidSport™:
2000-01: $31,000
2001-02: $52,000
2002-03: $35,000
2003-04: $54,000
2005-06: $80,000
2006-07: $78,000
2007-08: $100,000
2008-09: $70,000
2009-10: $64,000
Total: $564,000
Iginla is an ambassador for KidSport™ Calgary and was the recipient of the Mark Messier Leadership Award for his work and contributions to the community at the 2009 NHL Awards. He was also a recipient of the NHL's King Clancy Memorial Trophy in 2003-04 for leadership on and off the ice.
"Jarome has been such a tremendous supporter of both KidSport Calgary and KidSport Canada for the past nine seasons and the humility and graciousness with which he's supported the charitable organization over the years is a testament to his true character," said Diane Jones Konihowski, KidSport Alberta's Chair. "With each goal he's scored – and there have been a lot – his commitment to get kids off the sidelines and into sport continues to grow. Thank-you Jarome, you've helped over 2,500 kids and have inspired many more."
Iginla's contribution has helped over 2,500 kids get involved in amateur and recreational sport activities. The success of the program has established Iginla as an important and valued partner who not only contributes financially but acts as a role model for the importance of sport to a child's early development and sense of belonging.
KidSport™ Calgary is a local, non-profit organization that is focused on providing positive sport opportunities to children from low-income families. With the help of community supporters, KidSport™ is able to assist local kids by subsidizing sport registration fees and certain sport equipment for qualified applicants, so kids can play their chosen sport safely and confidently.

- Horse Training
- - Question for western trainers re leg pressure cues
Question for western trainers re leg pressure cues I have been handling and training my own horses and for friends and family, for many years, but I have no certifications of any kind and I only train for trail riding. I recently watched a youtube video showing a fellow training a reining horse. The leg cues he was giving confused me. I began to think that maybe I'm behind the times on leg pressure training. He was repeatedly pulling the horse's head around to the left while repeatedly bumping with the left spur just aft of the cinch at the same time while the horse was standing. I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish. Seemed to know what he was doing, though. In his commentary he did not say what he was teaching the horse, only that he was teaching the horse to respond to a cue. The cues I have always taught are the following: Right calf pressure = left turn, more pressure = tighter turn. Left calf gives the right turn, as above. Right heel ahead of the cinch = front quarters left. hold head lightly with reins gives the spin Left heel = front quarters right, etc. Right heel pressure on the cinch gives left side pass and vice-versa heel pressure behind the cinch moves the hindquarters. Hard sit-back and feet forward in the stirrups gives the stop cue. Squeeze with both calves says a little faster either forward or backward Two quick squeezes in forward progress says "trot" Slight lean forward and a good squeeze says "Canter" I combine voice commands with all my cues, including kisses and clucks. What am I missing? |
Nuthin, huh. Guess I'm doing ok, then. |
Thenrie, I'm just as confused as you are! I've barrel raced, pleasure rode (walk-trot and country pleasure), and trail rode... And all of your cues, I use. All of cues used by the aforementioned trainer? I think I'm as clueless as you are! |
I'd be interested in seeing the video so maybe I could make an educated guess. |
I do much the same way as you, thenrie, though I don't get quite so complicated with mine....or maybe I'm just as complicated but in a different way LOL. The way I teach leg cues, the horse is to always move away from the leg, what part of the body he moves depends on other cues I give. Left leg + left rein (neck rein) = right spin or turn on haunches Left leg + pick up light bit contact + left rein = sidepass to the right Left leg slightly back + slight bit contact = move hindquarters only over or forehand turn Slight squeeze equally with both legs = walk Slight bumping motion equally with both legs = trot Slight squeeze with both legs + forward seat + left leg pressing slightly harder farther back = lope departure on right lead. Everything is the exact same with the other leg to go the other direction. Of course there are many other things I do that get a lot more intricate in regards to bending and straightness or picking a shoulder up or suppling their neck and ribcage but everything I do is a combination of reins, legs and seat. |
Inside leg is used to get bend around that leg or to push a horse forward into the bridle. It also helps keep a shoulder up and out of the way. Reining cues are very sophisticated. Different horses need more or less emphasis in different places. Starting and training aids usually differ greatly from cues used to elicit the correct response from a 'finished' show-ready horse. I would have to watch the video to decide if the trainer was asking for bend or 'bumping' the horse up into the bridle more so that it would maintain sufficient forward impulsion to sustain a turn-around of several revolutions. If you are really interested in getting into reining, find a reining trainer in your area and take a few lessons or at least ask if you can watch some of the schooling. There also are several very good video series by top trainers. Tim McQuay and Shawn Flarida both have video series out. The NRHA has a lot of information out there. |
Cherie reining cues sound more like what I was use to using in basic dressage. The little mare I have now was trained as a western trail mount. It took me about a month to realize it wasn't her it was me causing her turning problems. I was taught right leg to move the barrel left and right rein to move the head to the right side. Still using the arm and leg on the same side, but when I would press my left leg to her she expected to move to the left and I was expecting her to move to the right ;P We finally got it worked out and now are on to other things :) |
Thenrie - I have no idea - I've always done things how you describe. can you post the video link? |
I'll try to find the video link again. It was just something that came up while I was looking for something else. Cherie: Thanks for that nice explanation. From what you said, I think he was training the horse to bend around his leg. I think I'll take your advice and find a local reining trainer who will let me watch and ask questions. While I'm not a professional trainer, I enjoy training my horses very much, and I think I do a fair job of it, at least as far as a solid trail horse goes, but I'd like to know more and get better. And thanks all for the responses. Don't know what happened the first time. |
Found the full video clip. Apparently the one I saw first was only a clip out of this video. In this, and other videos, he fully explains what he is doing (all though I find it hard to keep up with him). It is Doug Phipps. He has a bunch of videos out on Youtube, offering free training tips for the rest of us. Way above my level, but I love watching him work the horses. He never lets them lose focus. Always firm, consistent, but gentle in his handling of the horse. |

absolutely love it. great phone. looks nice in red. i really like the touch screen and it reacts really well when i touch it. good for playing music. decent camera but still looks nice. music sounds great on it. nice features but not perfect with the bells and whistles. it has what i need and what i want. i do not regret getting it. my parents both got the lg rumor touch and i do not like that phone, very big and bulky. although the rumor touch does have more features i would not take it. i am really impressed with the samsung touch and i really like it. i would suggest the phone to anyone that would want to get it i think that you would be happy with it. i would give it a 5 out of 5 in stars.

Matthew455 has owned it for less than year before publishing this review
Well I I purchased this phone online last october from sprint, there are no video playback. The battery lasts a week with running j2me and listening to music. There is limited WMA support and NO ACC or MP4 audio, no video so dont even try. The keyboard is durable and lasts for the past few months, If you go with sprint get the Case it is 19.99 but It will make the phone last the two year contract. If you do have a samsung seek I have made a FULLY compatible website with apps it is www.home4seek.param.mobi it also has videos (animated GIFS). IT wont download pics wont download, with ought some work. But it is a good budget phone reccomended with sprints limited Data plan.

The pictures are good not as bad as people were saying . I take pictures on it all the time . You can brighten the picture before you take it so it's not dark . It does not have a flash . But oh well (: Internt is pretty fast (: I always get on myxer.com and upload backrounds and ringtones and games . It doesn't go slow after i do that . You can add twitter apps and more to your favs . Screen lock is pretty cool to unlock it you have to slide the screen (: I think i liked that the most(: Holds up to 600 contacts . IT DOES HAVE voice memo at first i was bummed cause i couldn find it anywhere butwhen you go to send someone a messgage theres this little check mark that yo have to touch and stuff will come up like do you want to add a pc or voice memo thing ? And Keyboard took a couple days to get used to . I couldn't really type that fast at fist . ut now i can . I completley recommend this phone . It's a wee bit confusing at first but when you start playing around with it you will know how to get use to it(: Thanks for reading!

Ive had the Samsung seek for a week now, used to have the Samsung Rant. Well i love how the the keyboard is quite n easy to use. The camera settings are okay. The internet is way faster than my Rant. Though Im very upset that it doesn't support YouTube videos. I LOVE VIDEOS! And I made sure that my screen was big enough to watch them too. The guy never told me this, but it's his job to pursue me to get it.lol. My phone is much up to date w/ my friends phones now. I give this phone a 7!

posted on 25 Jun 2010, 00:35I love this phone! only had it for 6 days and it works amazing!
the only thing i have to complain about is the fact that you can't access the music player while trying to do other stuff, such as text or surf the web, so kinda a downer on that. And then fact that when I formatted my SD card, it said four default folders will come up, never happened, so now i don't know where to place my photos that i want in my phone. I have my music on there and that's about it.

posted on 20 Jun 2010, 04:31Samsung Seek: Pros and Cons
I got the Samsung Seek in pink, but I returned it. I didn't like that my old phone (Samsung Rant) had more features than the Samsung Seek. GPS and video camera being two of them. Plus the internet was pretty slow, so if you're a big internet user then this wouldn't be the right phone for you. Texting is made easy with this phone. The full QWERTY keyboard is easy to use and is highly recommended for big time texters. You can hold up to 600 contacts on the phone. . The weight and size of the phone is also a plus. It's quite small compared to the Rumor Touch and its lightweight is something I also admired. The design of the phone was the main thing that first drew me to the phone. The price also made me want it. The camera and batterylife is just average. Overall the Samsung Seek is a good, and easy phone for texters. But not so good for internet users and those who really want GPS and a video camera.

posted on 18 Jun 2010, 02:28A Fair Touchscreen Phone For A Reasonable Price...
Not bad for a touch screen phone. It's good for playing music (decent sound) and takes ok pictures. Some people may find it lacking from other current touch screens that are out at this time. No video recording nor does it seem to be able to stream video, but the price difference makes up for the fact you don't have to empty out your wallet for a decent phone.
Design 8/10Features 7/10Performance 7/10Pros
- Fairly easy to use design, easy to become comfortable with it's features, and reasonably priced.
- A little awkward to use via the internet, streaming video not supported, and lacks simple apps that even seem to run on more simple phones.

I got my samsung seek in red 3 days ago & so far so good! Its really nice & its touch screen works very well. Its lightweight & small. Its battery life is pretty long, it took a quite a while for mines to die. My mom's actually planning on buying one for herself. The only thing was that i was so used to the number keys & now its a little confusing at first but ill get used to it. Mines hasnt frozen, or anything so far. But i havent been able to figure out how to put ringtones on it.

I like this phone very much. It was hard ti find a small phone with many of the same features as the larger ones (Blackberry, iPhone). This phone has internet navigation, Facebook and many of the same applications as the bigger name phones. the only con is a relatively short battery life. So, if you want a lot of feautrures in a small package, I would suggest the Samsung Seek.

Dodgers set franchise record with victory
CHICAGO – Friendly confines, indeed – they have been for Chris Capuano.
The veteran left-hander combined with four relievers to shut out the Chicago Cubs as the Dodgers kept winning, beating the Cubs, 3-0, Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
The win was the Dodgers' 13th in 15 games since the All-Star break and 30th in their past 37 games. It was also their 13th consecutive road win, setting a new franchise record. It is the longest road winning streak in the National League since the Philadelphia Phillies also won 13 consecutive away from home in 1976. The National League record is 17, set by the New York Giants in 1916.
"It's funny – for me, you don't even look back at the first 10. You don't even look back at the last road trip," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "We always talk about just moving forward. Today's game is today's game. You turn the page and move on to the next game."
You would have to turn a lot of pages to find the last time Capuano gave up a run as a starting pitcher at Wrigley Field. He took the shutout into the seventh inning Saturday, allowing six hits over 6 1/3 innings and extending his shutout string at Wrigley Field to 32 innings as a starter. He made two less successful relief appearances here with the Milwaukee Brewers but hasn't been scored upon as a starter at the historic stadium since 2005 (five starts ago).
Saturday's win ran his overall record against the Cubs to 10-3 (including 6-2 at Wrigley Field), his most victories against any opponent.
"It's a great place to play," Capuano said of Wrigley Field. "It's like coming to a museum. You feel like it probably looked exactly the same 100 years ago. It's just a great atmosphere."
The setting was only part of Capuano's success. He has now pitched into the seventh inning while holding the opposing team scoreless in three of his past four starts, consistency he attributes to some mechanical adjustments that have "kept me more in line" and given his pitches more sinking action than cut.
"He was really efficient, doing his thing," Mattingly said. "For me, he's attacked with his fastball more and continued to use that and not go right to his off-speed pitches. There are guys you're going to want do things a little different with. But for me, he's been using his whole repertoire better."
Capuano has run in extremes this season. Saturday was the seventh time in 14 starts he has allowed one run or no runs – but he also has made six starts when he allowed at least five runs and lasted five innings or less. Tim Federowicz has caught each of Capuano's past eight starts and said the left-hander has found some keys to get himself back on track quickly if things are starting to head in the wrong direction.
"His thing is commanding the baseball," Federowicz said. "Sinking it down and away from righties. Controlling both sides of the plate.
"It's just one of those things where he knows what adjustments he needs to make."
The Cubs only got one runner past first base in the first six innings against Capuano and the Dodgers turned four double plays in the game. The timeliest came in the seventh after Capuano had given up a leadoff double and a one-out single. Yasiel Puig made a diving catch in right-center field between the hits and Brandon League put an end to the Cubs' threat when he came in and got a double-play grounder.
Paco Rodriguez had his moment to keep the shutout going in the eighth inning, striking out Wellington Castillo with the bases loaded. Kenley Jansen closed it out with a 1-2-3 ninth for his 16th save and has now retired the past 22 consecutive batters he has faced.
"It's hard to describe," Capuano said of the Dodgers' run as the hottest team in baseball. "It's just a great energy every time you come to the ballpark.
"You're just waiting to see who's going to drive in the big run or get the key hit. It's just fun coming to the ballpark."

Monthly Archives: September 2012
During the summer months there are a lot of bees out there, but look closely- some of these bees are tiny (6mm 1/4″ long).
Bonnie, my web master showed me how to crop and enlarge with Adobe. 🙂
I have been having a lot of trouble with focusing on these small bees. I am using Fujifilm EXR camera. Yesterday I was playing around with focusing on some text. I pressed the shutter down half-way, and the camera focused to 2″ away from the subject. Amazing. Then I released the shutter- and it focused back to the default. I did not realize that I should continue pressing the shutter to take the focused picture. I thought it would hold the focus until I partially depressed the shutter again. But not so. So now with renewed knowlege, I will see what I can find in the garden today.
Since I expected another sunny day today. I made sure my flowers were well watered, so they could make nectar for any visiting bee.
I was showing my 9 year old grandson a trick or two about photography this summer.
For a long time, photography of flowers were a mystery to me until I learned that a black or dark background and low angled light (early morning or late evening or winter light) works rather well. It also works if the background is not distracting and adds to the story.
A good camera and the right settings help as well of course.
This yellow Anemone flowers all summer. This one found a tiny crack between the wall of my carport and asphalt driveway.
The mauve Aster blooms in late summer and insects, in particular bees love it. If it is watered regularly, nectar is produced, making it a very attractive plant for insects. Cropping this photo using Adobe would also help, but I have not mastered this yet!
