To the Editor: Dr Shreibati and colleagues proposed several important explanations for the differences in expenditures between Medicare patients evaluated for coronary heart disease (CHD) with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) or conventional stress testing.1 However, they place too little emphasis on the potential for an unmeasured difference in sensitivity between the 2 approaches. This difference is likely to be substantially more than what one might infer from the literature because of a failure to adjust for verification bias (sometimes called workup or referral bias) in most studies that have evaluated stress testing.2 Because patients with positive stress test results are more likely to undergo follow-up cardiac catheterization, the sensitivity and specificity derived from a population selected for angiographic confirmation are overestimated and underestimated, respectively.3- 4 Studies of CCTA may be affected by the same bias, but to a lesser degree because the test is frequently performed as an adjunct study and its results may not drive the decision to pursue cardiac catheterization to the same extent.

Thailand diverts oil meant for biofuel
Source : biofuels-news.com
In Thailand, the world's third-largest producer of palm oil, the Energy Ministry is to hold 5'000 tonnes of crude palm oil (CPO) for use of cooking oil, as the country's government works to address the shortage of domestic palm oil. This CPO was originally intended for biofuel production, however will now be refined as cooking oil. A further 10'000 tonnes of CPO held by the private sector will also be converted into cooking oil for household use. The move comes following the National Palm Oil Policy Committee meeting, which was held on 22 February and chaired by Thailand's deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban. During the meeting it was also decided that the nation will import 30'000 tonnes of CPO during the next two weeks in order to help meet the domestic demand for cooking oil.

Panama, located in the center of the Americas, offers a wide range of aerial connectivity, which makes it the "hub" of the region.
On the other hand, the Panamanian authorities believe that the flow of Mexican travelers will increase even more. Copa Airlines has expanded its flights frequency, which connects various Mexican cities with Panama. The weekly number of Copa flights, from Mexico City, have incremented from 21 to 28; from Cancun, from 21 to 35; and from Guadalajara, it maintained 7 flights while incorporating routes with Monterey, Puerto Vallarta, and San Juan de Los Cabos.
The route between Mexico and Panama will not only be covered by Copa, as Aeroméxico has also solicited authorization to start flying between Mexico City and Tocumen International Airport during the first trimester of the upcoming year.

Hi!!! Would like to know how the oxygen system works on the Piper Matrix, when the plane is flying at high altitudes. :confused:
All Comments
Pressurization. When you pressurize the cabin the air is condensed and contains sufficient oxygen to fly safely at higher altitudes.
Cabin pressurization is used to create a safe and comfortable environment for aircraft passengers and crew flying at high altitude by pumping conditioned air into the cabin. This air is usually bled off from the engines at the compressor stage. The air is then cooled,humidified, mixed with recirculated air if necessary and distributed to the cabin by one or more environmental control systems.[1] The cabin pressure is regulated by the outflow valve.

Friday, January 4, 2013
A HIGH Court judge refused a challenge from Sainsbury's to obtain the legal advice given confidentially about 'supermarketgate' to Fenland District Council.
Mr Justice Hickinbottom's ruling, made yesterday but released by Fenland Council this afternoon, said there simply wasn't the time to go to a full hearing in the time scales proposed.
The judge said Sainsbury's wasn't challenging the council's decision to refer back to its planning committee both their application and that by rivals Tesco but wanted "a mandatory order" to get legal advice given to Fenland released.
"The claim was issued yesterday," said the judge. "With it was issued an application for urgent consideration, seeking expedition and a one day rolled up hearing by January 17 so that the claimant can consider the documents sought prior to the planning committee hearing the following week.
"I am not prepared to order such an expedition."
The judge said Sainsbury's wanted "very considerable expedition" involving rapid responses, a full day hearing and likely to involve "substantial consideration of legal privilege."
Mr Justice Hickinbottom said he shared the council's doubts that one day may not be enough and even if he was minded to allow the claim a hearing at short notice would be at the expense of other cases and other parties.
The judge said it was difficult to see how disclosure of counsel's opinion to Fenland Council "could significantly assist" Sainsbury's in preparation for the planning committee on January 23.
Given what Sainsbury's already has to prepare for that meeting it renders "the basis of the expedition it seeks unsound."
A council spokesman said: "We have received a Judicial Review issued by Sainsbury's supermarkets in respect of their application for a food store in Whittlesey.
"However, the High Court ruled yesterday that the application for a hearing before January 23 is not necessary and that the judge stated that they were fully able to prepare for a planning meeting on that date.
"We continue to prepare for the planning committee meeting on January 23."

The first time that I fixed this recipe, I was in a hurry in the store and trying to think of something fast to fix and this recipe came to mind. I used some "everything frecnch bread" because it was marked down half price in the bakery, I also switched to fresh portabella mushrooms which made it better than the can mushrooms. They just take a little longer to cook, so you have to saute them in the oils a little longer to tenderize them. I also got a bag of that tyson pre-cooked chicken cubes since I was in a hurry, but everything else I followed exact. I really didn't think that a sourcream sauce would be good on a sandwich, but I was plesantly suprised. This was really good and even better on the "everything" bread that had poppyseeds, french onions, and well a little bit of everything baked into it. I will defiently be making this again, and the next time I think that I will actually take the time to bake my own bread and I know that it will be even better.

I doubled this recipe since I was cooking for my 3 growing boys and husband. My kids liked it but didn't love it but my hubby thought is was great. Fast and easy. I didn't put any mushrooms in it and added a little extra sour cream to make it a little saucier.

These are very good. When I made them I added a little sauteed onion. I didn't have a baguette or even french bread on hand so I halved hot dog buns! Worked great. Needed 2 buns and had enough topping for 4 mini sandwiches. Quick, easy meal.

It looks like Easter weekend 2012 in the UK will be a time of strike action. Good Friday falls on April 6 and unless the strike action is averted, filling up at the pumps could prove difficult. For those who like to enjoy this first long Bank Holiday weekend of the year with a few days away from home, it could be disastrous.
Timed for maximum impact the strike, over terms, conditions and safety, by fuel tanker delivery drivers could leave many people seething. The UK Coalition government is hoping, probably against hope, that the strike will be called off or settled. As the dispute is not simple, nor about one issue, an early settlement could prove elusive. However there is still time and therefore hope, that a strike can be averted.
A previous fuel tanker driver strike quickly lead to depleted fuel stocks and empty grocery shelves in the supermarket. Both of these were down to selfishness and panic buying by customers rather than the strike itself.
This time the government has been making some preparations. Members of the UK armed forces have been undergoing training to deliver the fuel supplies if and when it become vital. Today Coalition Minister Francis Maude has weighed in with advise to consumers.
Hold on to your hats. It's not rocket science.
His advice is to be sensible. To buy a jerry can and fill it up at the pumps. Put a little extra fuel in your tank before Easter too and you should have enough to take you where you want to go over the Easter break.
According to Mr Maude, "When it makes sense, a bit of extra fuel in a jerry can in the garage is a sensible precaution to take. People need to be aware that there is a risk to fuel supplies. It's not for us to give advice on what people should do. It is our obligation to tell them what is going on so that they can make their own decisions."
Whilst Maude did go on to say that there is no need for panic buying, in those few short sentences he may have instigated just that.
UK groups such as the Motoring Association have accused the government of increasing the risk of panic buying. A spokesperson for the AA said, "It's the height of irresponsibility for Downing Street to give the impression that people should be panic-buying. They should be using all their efforts to get a settlement." The AA went on to say, "It's totally inappropriate for people to panic-buy. No strikes have yet been announced and there is enough fuel out there as long as people do not fill up unnecessarily."
Labour was quick to brand the latest comments from Mr Maude as the "height of irresponsibility part 2" and the shadow minister without portfolio Michael Dugher asked: "Has Francis Maude gone mad?!" Could be.
Labour leader Ed Miliband is hoping for a more sensible outcome and he has said, "They should get round a table, and I think this strike can be avoided and it must be avoided."
David Cameron was quickly challenged regarding Maude's scaremongering and he said, "I absolutely do not want to raise the temperature on this any more than is necessary. I do not want a strike to take place."I hope the talks will be successful but in government you always have to prepare for any eventuality. The British people would expect that. "To the British people themselves I would say look, there is no imminent strike. The unions would have to give seven days notice of any strike so there is no need to to queue to buy petrol. "If there is an opportunity to top up your tank if a strike is potentially on the way, then it is a sensible thing if you are able to do that."
Opinion: In her lifetime in the UK this blogger has experienced a previous fuel shortage, empty supermarket shelve, a sugar shortage, a potato shortage and more. All were made worse by panic buyers.
Those people who have the money to stock up indefinitely. Those consumers who care not one iota about any person but themselves. Often the greedy of society. Today Francis Maude has, perhaps intentionally, given these people a free reign. His carefully chosen words will guarantee maximum impact on UK motorists and consumers and also ensure that fuel stocks are quickly depleted. Already some petrol stations have announced they have empty pumps.
What a way for a Government to do business.

We haven't been able to pump out a New Release Playlist in awhile, which is a shame because 2012 has been off to an INSANE start as far as new music. Well, we're hoping to make up for it by highlighting seven great new releases that came out today!
1) Bright Moments – Tourists (off their new album, The Natives)
Kelly Pratt is Bright Moments. He is the multi-instrumentalist whose trumpet sparks across so many of Beirut's songs and whose harmonizing vocals is a central component to the band's robust live performances. He has also shouldered everything from flugelhorn to flute to bring Arcade Fire's Neon Bible to life, and was part of the horn section that LCD Soundsystem used during its sunset days.
2) Field Music – A New Town (off their new album Plumb)
Largely abandoning the classic songwriting conventions embraced on 2010's Measure, Field Music remodel the modular, fragmented style of their first two albums — only now it's shot through with the surreal abstractions of 20th-century film music, from Bernstein to Willy Wonka.
3) Damien Jurado – Maraqopa (off his new album Maraqopa)
Strummed desert blues quickly bursts open into an Eddie Hazel-worthy supernova shred session, all of it swirling in tinny-psych and Echoplex'ed howls.
4) Archers of Loaf – Harnessed in Slums (off the reissue of Vee Vee)
Remastered by Bob Weston and featuring new liner notes by Magnet magazine editor Eric Miller. CD version includes sixteen bonus tracks and new cover art re-imagined by graphic artist Jay Ryan, while the vinyl version is pressed on green wax. "[Their] punk schtick is all over the map, steeped in countrified classic rock and gleeful noise, with Crazy Horse and the Grateful Dead no less equal predecessors than The Dead Boys and The Clash… Never blank, never afraid to bleed." — Spin
5) Frankie Rose – Know Me (off her new album Interstellar)
Sophomore album from former member of Vivian Girls, Dum Dum Girls, and Crystal Stilts. Takes a step forward into widescreen pop territory, bringing to mind mid-'80s artists like The Smiths and New Order.
6) Grimes – Vowels = Space & Time (off her new album Visions)
An artistic byproduct of the first post-internet generation. "…sounds like a pop star from a distant planet — distant enough that 'pop star' is an unfamiliar concept there, but close enough to intercept earthly radio signals and press some bootlegs of Maria Carey's #1′s" — Pitchfork
7) Lambchop – Gone Tomorrow (off their new album Mr. M)
As on past records, many of the songs are framed with lush strings, and there's a restrained undercurrent of distortion and discord. The core of the music remains the cyclical picking of Wagner's guitar and the soft, warm croaking of his voice. Vinyl version features bonus tracks.

Waterford man charged with bank robbery has several prior felony charges
WATERFORD — A 43-year-old Waterford man was jailed on a pair of felony charges Tuesday night, hours after police say he allegedly robbed a Saratoga Avenue bank.
Tad Baldwin, of Bells Lane, allegedly entered the Pioneer Savings Bank at 2:20 p.m. Tuesday and demanded cash from employees, Waterford Police said. The suspect was wearing a black hoodie, bandana and sunglasses, police said in a statement, but he did not display a weapon.
Baldwin, who court officials said has two prior felony convictions and had been charged with two more felonies in June, allegedly fled following the theft and was last seen heading west on Van Ness Street, police said. A Troy police officer spotted the suspect vehicle at about 7:15 p.m.
Baldwin and a Troy man who was also in the vehicle were arrested shortly thereafter, authorities said.
Baldwin was charged with felony robbery and felony grand larceny by Waterford police, while Troy Police charged 51-year-old Brian Monahan with second-degree obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest and possession of a hypodermic instrument, all misdemeanors, authorities said.
Baldwin was arraigned in Waterford Town Court the charges Tuesday and sent to Saratoga County Jail without bail, Waterford Police said in a statement. Monahan was due in Troy City Court Wednesday. Waterford Public Safety Commissioner John Tanchak said Monahan was not involved in the robbery.
Tanchak said "a good amount" of cash was stolen from the bank, though investigators did not have the full total from the bank as of Wednesday morning. An undisclosed amount of cash has been recovered during the investigation, police said in a statement.
The bank robbery comes less than two months after Baldwin was charged with two counts of forgery for his role in defrauding an Egyptian man.
Mechanicville Police have said the victim in that case had made arrangements with Sheila Darmetko, who was managing Kearney's Service Center, to ship the vehicle overseas, but it never arrived.
Baldwin, who Mechanicville Police said was employed at the service center, was accused of forging a title, which Mechanicville Police have said allowed the Altima to be sold to a Mechanicville car dealership for $8,700. It was then sold to a Connecticut dealership and then a new buyer, police have said. Continued...
Baldwin posted $15,000 bail at a June 6 court appearance and was released from police custody, Mechanciville court officials said. He is scheduled to answer that charge on Aug. 21, court officials said.
Darmetko, who is also known as Sheila Bechand, was charged with three counts of grand larceny and one count of scheme to defraud, all felonies, in that case. She is due back in court Aug. 7, court officials said.
Saratoga County District Attorney James A. Murphy III was not immediately available for comment.
It is the second bank robbery in Saratoga County in recent months. In May, 31-year-old Nigel Guy was charged with robbery after he allegedly held up a Ballston Spa branch of Adirondack Trust Company at gunpoint.
Waterford Village Mayor J. Bert Mahoney said Wednesday morning the incident was the first bank heist in the village that he could recall in his lifetime, but he remembered reading about a historic Waterford robbery in the Crimes in Time Journal.
In that 1871 heist, Mahoney said the robber stole the modern-day equivalent of $40 million in stocks, securities, bonds and cash from a bank at Second and Broad Streets.

It really means a lot especially since I love your story so much. The fourth chapter is waiting to be validated, so it shall be up as soon as that happens! Report Review
Your writing style is so unique! I definitely loved the first two chapters. Please update soon! Report Review
I agree with Katie(other reviewer) This story is different in a good way! There are alot of stories that are boring with the same story every time.So Thank You for writing this story and Please Update soon!! Report Review
this is possibly the most fantastic story i have ever read on this whole site,;literally genius,usually i get bored of all the same stories written,all seeming the have the same plot just different names,but your's is well-written and intriguing. Report Review
Omigosh, I absolutely luuurrrvvveee it! So jealous in a good way; I'm glad you decided to write this. Update soon! Report Review
I LOVE THIS STORY. Really, it's amazing. Please update soon because I don't think I can wait much longer! 10/10. - Mariah. Report Review
:) I like this story alot, actually. Truly is a good character, and her name is certainly interesting. A very good start to the chapter! Gosh, I love Remus. I want him. :( - Mariah. Report Review
That was AWESOME!!! I love the plot and the personality of Trudy, it was done really well, can't wait for chapter three! Report Review
This is really fantastic! I love Skins, and Effy in particular, but I never would've thought that it would work to bring a character like that (a "troubled, different" character) into the Hogwarts setting. But, clearly, it does! I am very very very excited for this story to progress. Regardless of your writing style, I would be - it's just so intriguing. And it just so happens that I DO like your writing style as well (and I'm very picky)! Update soon :D Report Review
It's a great beginning ! You got me completely hooked :) I love the way you characterize Truly, very original and intriguing, especially her quietness. It's refreshing, it changes from the usual clichéd-OC from the Marauders Era. The same goes for Remus. Your writing is really good, too . Can't wait to see where this going ! Update soon, please !:) Report Review
Hmmm. Interesting - I have always loved Remus. It will be fun to watch you story unfold. Sirius is a bit mean to Truly. Hopefully he will lighten up a bit. Thanks for writing! Report Review
This was an exceptional beginning, the characters were well described and your o/c was rather unique and interesting. You should definitely continue this story. Keep the good work up! 10/10Author's Response: :) you review makes me happy!! Thank you for taking the time to review, and I hope you keep reading! Report Review
So I really like this, it's a good first chapter. :) Truly's character is rather unique, but I'm interested to learn more about her. I like your characterization of the Marauders, Sirius is a right git, and James is too. Peter admires them, and Remus takes his place as the most mature of the bunch. So, overall it's pretty good, and I right expected Truly to smack Sirius when she was trying to leave! One thing I have to say, though, the beginning is a little discouraging because it's just one long paragraph. Split it up a bit, not just for grammar, but because one thick paragraph is really intimidating when you start a story. It's hard to follow eventually because of all the lines, but I'm glad I did! This is a good start, and I'm hoping to see more of it soon! :) 10/10 -Hunter :)Author's Response: Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it, I'm about to put the second chapter into the cue, and the paragraphs I believe are broken up a little more, thank you so much for your notes and compliments :D Report Review

Realogy Ribbon-Cutting Will Bring Governor to Madison
Real estate company's 950 employees have moved into new building on Park Avenue.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for Realogy's new Park Avenue headquarters is expected to bring the governor to Madison next week. Gov. Chris Christie will be the guest of honor at the event Thursday morning, the real estate company said. Richard A. Smith, Realogy's chairman, CEO and president, Jon Hanson, the founder and chairman of Hampshire Real Estate Companies, which developed the former Verizon property, and Madison Mayor Bob Conley are expected to be in attendance. Realogy's relocation to Madison from Parsippany brought 950 employees to the borough. They moved in stages starting in April and finished moving in by the end of May. Mark Panus, senior vice president of corporate communications for Realogy, said the move went smoothly and the …

I have never written a review for a product, but this thing makes me very happy.I bought this thinking it would be good therapy during my divorce. A back-hoe would have been better therapy, but those were out of my price range, True, you should not open a milling business with this machine. It does not appreciate taking 1/8 slices off 12" oak planks. However, anything else you want to do, it will. To date, I have run 28k feet through this machine, I am not making this up. I bring home oak pallets from work, break them down, pick out the rocks, and shove the planks through the planer. I have modified, abused, tortured, neglected, and loved this machine. I am on my 14th set of blades. Two weeks ago, the motor went to heaven. I replaced it with a motor from a treadmill, slipped right in.Andrew

I have only used this machine two times since I purchased it and in both cases, I only ran soft pine through it.At the end of my second use of the machine, it has developed a disturbing noise that sounds like a bearing going out.I took the tool apart and ran the motor independently. The motor is strong and no abnormal noises. When I put it back together, the bearing noise was gone at least until I ran another board through then the noise was back. I disassembled the machine again. I cannot feel any looseness or feel any play on the blade shaft. There is a normal amount of play in the drive wheels since they are sprocket and chain driven. I reassembled the machine and it sounds normal again but I did not have a chance to run any additional wood through it. The noise may return again.I am disappointed that I am having this trouble after only two uses. I am concerned if there is a more serious problem looming down the road. I hope not. Perhaps I should have bought a Rockwell. I was once told I can't afford to buy cheap tools. Replacing poor quality tools is more expensive than paying the price for a good tool up front.

Excellent Planer for the Money
By George
from Pottstown, PA
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Central Machinery 2-1/2 HP 12" Planer:
I bought this planer two days ago, took it home and had it up and running in 15 minutes. Setup is just attaching the red crank handle and the dust chute and you are ready to go! (You really should check that the blade retention screws are tight too). Testing it out, I ran a length of 3" X 3" pine post through at a cutting depth of 1/16", planing each of the four sides to this depth in sequence. The planer fed the post through effortlessly and the planed surface was as slick as glass. I measured thickness of the planed surfaces with a precision electronic caliper from end to end and side to side, and the surfaces were parallel and uniform within .001". This would be considered a precision cut even from a metalworking tool let alone a woodworking machine! I would never be able to reproduce that surface with elbow grease and my (expensive) hand planes. There were no ripples and no snipe was present. The other brand name planers won't give you a better surface finish. Okay, so you don't get those flimsy infeed and outfeed "tables" that the other brands give you with their planers, but those sheet metal tables will not guarantee a better cut with no snipe- they are too short. You should build a one-piece in and outfeed table that goes through the planer at bed level and it should be supported at both ends. You should also support the stock with roller stands at the infeed and outfeed ends as well, and that would go without saying for any planer. With the money you save buying this planer over others you could build in and outfeed tables and buy the roller stands as well! I am happy with my purchase of this machine and look forward to planing many board feet of lumber with it.

Get what you pay for?!
By Badbert
from Southgate, Mi
I have planed everything from 2x12s to 5/4 rock maple. I even removed the finish from Brazilian cherry flooring, so I could glue them up for cabinet doors. It has never made any unusual noises, turned off, overheated or anything else except, do a fantastic job. I got a great deal with a 25% holiday deal. GREAT PRICE! And was floored with how well it performs!

Mine works, cut very well on 1st day!
By howarddavidp
from Washington, DC
See all my reviews
I am on day 1. I bought the 2 yr warranty. I got this on sale with the paper clipping to get it for about 2 benjamins. I cut some 5/4 maple planks that are 12 foot long, no issues with those (12" wide). I also tested it with some 2x6's, 2x10's, and 2x12's. It rocked through the pine like butter, and the maple did not bog it down either. Assembly takes 5 minutes, it was a joke. I took it out of the box and started cutting, very smooth like glass. I will write a follow up at 6 months, then 1 year. I could not be happier on day 1, and with my warranty, I should have 2 years of cutting. There are 4 HF within an hour, so if I need to return it that should not be a problem. I actually met Jeremy, the GM of all the HF stores for our area, very nice, and suggested this model b/c he has one and likes it.

Excellent machine

About Me Professional
I've had this machine over a year now and I really love it. First one had strange noises from the start but exchanged it with no problem and this one is a keeper. It is super strong and I love the self feed. Used it on every kind of wood I can find and works like a charm. Great machine. Will definitely buy another one like it IF the need ever arises. Great price and worth every penny.

I love to reuse/ recycle/ rescue wood items. I use to "ONLY" be able to change wood thickness with the use of my 10" tablesaw, not now. I really like this product, I'm happy with it. If I see anything free in the nieghorhood that looks like I can change into something else I bring it home.

About Me Thrifty
I have a small bandsaw mill and I was looking for a planer for doing a few boards. This HF planer is much better than I thought for the money. I have used it to plane up some White Oak and pine. So long as I am careful to not bind it, and make shallows cuts, this thing is great! I am very pleased with the look of the planed boards. They are so smooth they can simply be finished without any sanding required. I did build a feed table for it since it is hard to support the wood when you are a one man show. This is set to almost (1/16th inch)the same deck height on both sides of the planer (the planer is mounted lower in between the two ends, 2ft front length and 3 ft out).

By MAD MIKE
from SEGUIN, TEXAS
I have had my planer for about two years. I would recommend this planer as it is easy to use and it does a wonderful job. however, as others have said, do not try to make the full sixteenth of an inch cut. make several much shallower cuts. I have not used my planer with hardwoods, only soft woods. the hardest wood I have used it for is southern yellow pine. the great majority of wood I use is reclaimed, mainly from very large pallets. the only thing I have found that is a disappointment is that it will not take "twist" out of the wood. it will, however, give a very smooth finish other than that. for the price,,, you can't beat this planer. I am going for new knives today, first time since I got my planer. I have not turned the others yet, I just want to have them on hand and I need some other things from harbor freight.
Does what is expected
By Tyler
from Charlotte, NC
This planer has worked out great for me. I have run probably 1000 board feet through this planer so far and have had nothing but wonderful results. I did take some tread off of the rollers at first until I go used to how to use it, but I have zero complaints. Highly recommend this tool for the money
Performed Better Than Expected
By TnT
I bought this planer two years ago with skeptic ideas on how it would perform. Well two years later and many, many jobs behind us it still runs and performs great. I am still amazed at the power and ease of the self feed. Great feature. Only maintenance was blade / knife replacement. No longer a skeptic on this item.

Lucy wanted to give something back to her community and found the values of The Creation Station could help her achieve a fulfilling and rewarding business opportunity.
Lucy Jane Titterton passionately believes that strong relationships are crucial to a child's development. As a new Creation Station franchisee she is now able to pursue her ambition to support families as they build those vital bonds.
"After completing an NVQ in Business studies aged 19 I worked in admin, sales and then a variety of management roles but really wanted to work in the field of child development," admits Lucy Jane. "I took the first step towards this by gaining a Degree in Education Studies. My aim was to run parenting sessions and I began to write my own programme that would build up the closeness between a parent and child."
Then Lucy Jane discovered the Creation Station – an award winning and successful educationally based programme where families enjoy art and craft creativity in a fun and relaxed setting. "My life changed overnight! Here was a ready-made package that could fast-track me to building my own business, doing something I truly believed in. It was an opportunity to invest in myself."
After attending a Creation Station Discovery Morning, where potential franchisees see children and their parents/carers participating in the programme, Lucy Jane was convinced this was the perfect business for her: "I could see the potential immediately it mirrored my own thinking and aspirations."
"My classes are growing and I am involved with many partnerships in my area. I'm l very excited and my head is spinning with ideas. I have big plans for my business and I'm delighted that at last I have the chance to fulfil my ambitions and support families in my area."

CNET Editors' review
CrystalDiskInfo is one of the tools we turn to when we want as much useful data as possible about our system's hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) as well as many external drives. This free system utility monitors the health and status of your drives and displays the information in a compact, easy-to-read interface. CrystalDiskInfo monitors and displays your drives' temperature and SMART data, and it can even alert you when things start to go wrong.
CrystalDiskInfo's user interface displays your drives' health status and temperature sensor data (where available) in a bar along the top of the window. Selecting any drive's icon displays its details in the main view. The program opened with our C drive, an SSD. CrystalDiskInfo displayed its name, model number, and capacity. Many SSDs lack temperature sensors; ours included, so the temperature read zero degrees. But CrystalDiskInfo displayed a lot of useful data, including Power On Count and Hours, Host Reads and Writes, Firmware version, and Standards. Under Features, it showed that our SSD was compatible with SMART, TRIM, and NCQ as well as 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA). CrystalDiskInfo displays detailed SMART data in the optional bottom view under a variety of headings. The second tab showed our HDD's data, including Rotation Rate. The program's settings include interface languages, fonts, and copy options. But the Function menu contains the most interesting stuff, such as a separate Graph that can display dozens of disk parameters, startup and temperature display options, workarounds, and the ability to open the Windows Device Manager and Disk Manager directly. Under Advanced Features, we found the AAM/APM Control console (with an Auto Adaptation option). We could also set up mail alerts, view the event log, and more. Under Health Status Settings, we could set Thresholds of Caution for our HDD's sector counts.
The program's system tray icon displays a selected disk's temperature and accesses a Collective Settings submenu that makes it easy to set common parameters such as Alarm Settings for temperature and Health Status. There's an excellent, fully indexed Help file, too. CrystalDiskInfo is a regular fixture in our PC toolbox.
Publisher's Description
From Crystal Dew World:
CrystalDiskInfo is a HDD health monitoring utility. It displays basic HDD information, monitors S.M.A.R.T. values, and disk temperature.

Uninstalling AVG Search Toolbar takes uninstalling from browser, several browser restarts, and uninstalling from Control Panel. There is no option to not install it.
Amazon Search gives you an option to not install it.

According to a posting on the Comic Book Resources Web site, police in Zephyrhills, FL, have charged James William Davis with the murder of his roommate Stephen Perry. Perry is best-known for his writing on the 1980's animated Thundercats and Silverhawks series produced by Rankin/Bass. He also worked on Marvel's Time Spirits and Psi-Force along with Wally Wood's THUNDER Agents for Deluxe.
Perry suffered from bladder cancer, and while jobless and without health coverage was forced for a while to live in his van with his 5-yr old son. During the last 8 months of his life he received help from "Heroes Initiative", a nonprofit organization that creates a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work.
When you read about things like this (and Perry's fate as a creator isn't that uncommon in the industry), you can't help but understand the actions Ken is taking to make sure he and his family have a stable future from his works. For Ken's creations, indeed that of any creator, is his job, how he earns a living, and cares for his loved ones.

Do you know somebody who hates going to the dentist? The answer is probably yes. More than 80 percent of American adults have some fear of the dentist, a study by the American Association of Endodontists discovered in 1999. Nearly 25 percent of Americans are so fearful, they avoid their dental check-ups unless they're in pain, a Wall Street Journal article reports.
Here are 10 ways to deal with dental anxiety so you can get the care that you need.

VIDEO: Steven McComsey sentenced for role in July 2011 house explosion in Salem
FORT EDWARD — Family and friends of the six people killed in a 2011 house explosion in Salem stifled sobs Thursday in Washington County Court as Steven McComsey was sentenced to one to three years for his role in the blast.
McComsey, 34, pleaded guilty in November to criminally negligent homicide. He initially had faced six counts of manslaughter which could have resulted in a 15-year sentence.
On July 13, 2011, the home McComsey shared with several relatives exploded after a spark from a water heater ignited propane gas which had accumulated in the basement. Eleven family members and friends were in the house at the time of the explosion. Six died, and two were seriously injured.
McComsey said nothing in Washington County Court Thursday, other than to briefly answer questions from the judge. He pleaded guilty with an Alford Plea, which meant he accepted the charge but did not have to admit his guilt.
That left many of the family still struggling with what happened after the gavel had fallen and McComsey was led off to state prison.
"I believed in him. I wanted so hard to believe in him," said Kim Ryan who lost her sister Tammy Palmer, 41, in the explosion. She said McComsey professed his innocence every time they spoke and she did not believe he was responsible until he pleaded guilty last month.
"He lied to us," she said.
"Nobody in their right mind is going to say 'I'm guilty' if they ain't," said Butch Hurlburt, Palmer's uncle. "He's accepted no responsibility for anything he's done. He's gone out of his way to say he's done nothing wrong.
Without McComsey admitting his guilt during the plea, Hurlburt said there isn't the closure the family wants. "An allocution would have put a lot of this to rest," he said, while family members cried around him.
The blast killed Palmer's son, Lawrence Berg, Jr., 19, her granddaughter, 2-month-old Niah Lynn Durham, as well as Niah's father, Darrell Durham, 20, who died as a result of his injuries. Continued...
Niah's mother, Alicia Berg, 22, was severely injured and spent four months in the hospital. She was inconsolable following McComsey's sentencing.
"He took our mother and my 2-month-old daughter. I didn't even get to see her crawl," she said, holding back sobs. "It's not fair."
Her sister, Brianna Berg, 19, said she felt like a fool for trusting McComsey. "I believed in him," she said.
All three women who spoke after court struggled with McComsey's motive.
Prosecutors say McComsey released propane into his house because he was in a dispute with the landlord. Washington County District Attorney Kevin C. Kortright said at the time of McComsey's plea that "he was basically trying to screw (his landlord)," because he had paid for the propane and was being evicted.
"We don't know if he intentionally meant to hurt anyone or just get back at the landlord," Ryan said. They questioned why, if intentional, McComsey didn't warn people to get out of the house — even his nephew, Robert Sanford, 16, who was killed.
Only one person was able to read a victim impact statement. Linda Porlier lost her daughter, Clarissa Porlier, 19, who was dating Lawrence Berg Jr.
"In one fell swoop I've lost my daughter, my best friend and my business partner," she said, recalling that she and her daughter had dreams of opening a bakery together. "Now those dreams are shattered… I'm left here to pick up the pieces of our shattered lives."
She asked the judge to withhold McComsey's visitation rights for his first year in prison. "My family and I will never get to experience Clarissa's smiling face and hear her voice," she read. "Mr. McComsey should have to feel some of the same pain we will live with for the rest of our lives." Continued...
Kortright said McComsey will be eligible for parole in six months, but said he will likely serve about two-thirds of the sentence — making him likely to be paroled in the early summer of 2014.
None of the family who spoke were satisfied with the sentence.
"I understand they had a lot of trouble bringing the case through," Hurlburt said. "I understand this is the best (prosecutors) could do."
But, he said, "right here the victims aren't served. We have six that are dead, and we have a lot of kids that are going without a mom, dad, sister, brother forever."
Ryan said she lost her best friend when the blast killed her sister.
In years past, Palmer helped Ryan get through depression. When Palmer died, Ryan attempted suicide. Crying after the sentencing, she said "for the first time in my life, I realize she's not there."
Hurlburt said the whole family still grapples with shock, anger and depression a year and a half after the explosion.
"You don't just wake up and it's better," he said. "It's one of those things that moves on with life."

Comparator (HTML) is a free, web-based tool designed to run in a browser window. It is easy to use, designed to compare the text of two documents, either hosted at a web address or uploaded from the user's files.
Users may set the comparison criteria. Options include all words, words matching a pattern, words in or excluded from a user-specified list, or excluded from the Glasgow stop word list. Words can also be restricted by XML elements. Searching a pattern rather than a word requires skill with regular expressions and is thus not accessible to all users.
Other features include options to sort by the first text's word count or ratio of relative word count, and to display as HTML or a tab delimited text. The HTML output gives several tables of information about the texts, including basic information about the texts, a word comparison, words in the first text, and words in the second. Any of the words in the word comparison table may be clicked to produce a concordance for that word.
This tool has a few problems. When the tab delimited output is selected, the tool may not process some characters correctly; please see List Words (Plain Text) for examples. In addition, punctuation like open quotes and long dashes are often appended to the adjacent word, skewing the counts and comparison.
Despite these issues, Comparator (HTML) is an effective way to make a comparative analysis of two texts. Versions are also available for XML and plain text documents.

It's innovative thinking, dynamic in their presentation and flexible in their response
Kate Bowman, Sunday Times Travel Magazine
World Travel Market this year had a fantastic focus on social media. Social Travel Market (@socialtrav) sessions were set up alongside the main event by The Sunday Times online travel editor Steve Keenan (@stevekeenan) and Mark Frary (@markfrary)
Four bgb sponsored the social media session at World Travel Market this year. It was so packed that, while I was at an event later that day someone said to me: "I recognise your voice, did you just give that presentation on social media? I was at the back of the room and could hear but couldn't see you."
Last week, the Travel Bloggers Unite conference landed in Innsbruck, Austria and Four bgb was the event's official PR partner. Following an exceptionally successful debut conference in Manchester in March 2011, the event has been gathering speed and reputation with incredible pace. With a schedule of travel blogging-centric debates, workshops and raucous networking sessions, the debate has firmly grasped the attention of some of the world's leading travel bloggers and journalists as well tourist boards, travel companies, SEO, digital and PR agencies alike.

Senegalese discos!
So last night the guys who work at my private hotel ( I say private because I'm the only one staying here so it is like 5 star service) invited me to go to the local disco. At first I said no as I am fighting an ear infection right now (don't worry I have medicine). But since it was Saturday night and it may be my only chance I figured I may as suck it up and go for it! We left at midnight and no one was there. Apparently since this disco is out of the city a little ways it's the one people go to when the ones in town close. So we played a little pool to pass the time and then when it got a little busier we headed into the disco part of the bar.
There are a few things different about Senegalese disco than american clubs or bars. The first and biggest thing I noticed was that the men were the first ones dancing and many times were the ones out dancing by themselves!! This you would almost never see in US. Also the disco is less about drinking like many places in the US, most of the people I saw had one soda if anything. This maybe has to do with the fact that they are better dancers and don't need the liquid courage like many of us do! I think after watching the few white people with all the black people that generally white people can't dance, myself included as I think I scared several people when I danced to a couple songs and looked more like fish flopping around out of water! Needless to say it was a really great time!
After the 5am bedtime my private tour of the town was over but I might try to get one out of these guys later this week! One of the big challenges with these guys is making sure their intentions are right as I've had to repeat several tines that I'm engaged (or at least that's what they think!) but with a good sense of humor and the friendly reminders it's all fine!

text: Chicago, Illinois October 2-4, 2011. Halcyon Shades took part in the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) Annual Convention at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois and it was outstanding (although we are still a little jittery from all of the energy drink samples). Halcyon Shades are perfect for convenience stores because they can save the chocolate and other inventory from unwanted heat and UV damage while still allowing store personnel to see parking lots and gas pumps. Woven shades obscure the view and do not provide infrared heat reflectivity like Halcyon Shades do. We met a lot of very nice people from around the world at NACS and we got to spread the word to convenience store facility managers and store owners about Halcyon Shades. Over the next months, you will be seeing Halcyon Shades showing in a convenience store near you.
