TAMPA — Spring training and catcher Francisco Cervelli aren't a healthy exacta.
Cervelli, who is competing with Jesus Montero to be the Yankees backup catcher, left yesterday's 6-5 win over the Astros at George M. Steinbrenner Field with a bruised left foot.
Cervelli fouled a ball off the arch in the second inning, stayed in the game to run after walking, and caught the top of the third before being removed when Joe Girardi didn't like his between-innings throw to second or the way Cervelli limped coming off the field.
A CT scan was negative but, according to Girardi, an MRI exam was inconclusive and required viewing by doctors last night.
"Every spring training something happens, but it's OK," Cervelli said. "I don't think nothing is bad, a couple of days. It's OK but sore."
In 2008, Cervelli broke his right wrist in a collision at home plate. He suffered a concussion last year when he was hit in the head with a pitch. That led to him wearing an over-sized helmet. Yesterday he walked through the clubhouse with a big limp.
If Cervelli is out for an extended period, it likely will cost him the job behind Russell Martin because Montero has improved defensively and there is little doubt he will hit. Austin Romine is the other option.
Jorge Posada has his catching gloves in camp, but he will be asked to don the gear only in an emergency.
Martin, who will catch for the first time tomorrow night against the Red Sox, added a knee brace yesterday.
"It's not completely 100 percent, so it's a safety net for me," said Martin, who had arthroscopic surgery in December after signing with the Yankees. "It's super light, it weighs about 12 ounces. Today is the first time I wore it hitting and stuff. It works well."
Martin, appearing as the DH, drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth to drive in the winning run.

World Cup 2014 - Soldado on Spain
13 June 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
No surprises that Roberto Soldado picks out Spain as the team to beat at the World Cup.
The reigning champions and winners of the last three major tournaments - Euro 2008, World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012 - kick-off their campaign tonight with a mouth-watering clash against Holland in Salvador (8pm UK).
It's a re-run of the 2010 final won 1-0 by Spain in South Africa and the first match in what Roberto sees as a tough Group B.
"Yes, it's a difficult group," said the striker capped 12 times by Spain. "On paper, Holland has a great team with some excellent players and a top manager who knows just how to handle his squad of players. They play an excellent style of football.
"It's going to be a very close and competitive World Cup with Spain as the team to beat as they are the current holders.
"But there are some really strong sides like Germany and Holland, who I think will be there or thereabouts.
"Even though Spain are the team to beat I think that in such a massive tournament it's very difficult to know who the eventual winners will be because Brazil are the hosts and I believe they have a lot going for them, but it won't be that easy.
"The fact that they are playing in front of their own fans and all the pressure that team might be under, it could turn against them at any moment.
"So that's why I'm wanting a Spanish victory and I wish them all the luck in the world. Here's hoping they can do it!"

Robo advisors may be a hot topic on the minds and lips of wealth management executives, but many clients still don't know what a robo is.
Only about one in five affluent clients say they are familiar with the new technology, according to a recent Wells Fargo survey of clients who had $250,000 or more in investable assets.
But that doesn't mean firms or advisors can ignore the technology.
Of those who have heard of robo advisors, one-third has already used one. And, not surprisingly, there is a big generational gap in attitudes toward the new technology, with 71% of clients in their 30s saying they would use a robo in the next five years compared with 27% of clients over age 60 who said the same.
But don't expect older clients to remain aloof of changing technology trends.
"There's a younger skew in all of that, but even folks who are 50-plus have changing expectations," says Joe Nadreau, head of Innovation and Strategy for Wells Fargo Advisors.
"You have a situation in our industry where the clients are having their digital expectations set outside of our industry," Nadreau says, pointing to the ways that new technologies have changed the way people buy clothes, get directions or hire a taxi.
It's a theme that many wealth management executives have picked up. For example, Mary Mack, head of Wells Fargo Advisors, recently told attendees at SIFMA's Private Client Conference that clients now want an Amazon experience.
Evolving expectations for technology go well beyond automated investment management, Nadreau says. Nearly 80% of affluent clients say it's important to them to have 24/7 access to their investment information, and 66% say it's important to be able to access information online about their accounts from multiple institutions in one place, according to the survey.
Nadreau says new technologies like robo advisors are best seen as a tool to enhance the work that advisors already do.
"There's definitely a place for that technology. But there's an emotional and psychological connection that you are not going to get through technology," he says.
As an example of work that only human advisors are capable of, he points to survey data showing that 29% of affluent clients have not taken steps to prepare to leave money to their kids or beneficiaries. One quarter say they feel uncomfortable talking with their family about their estate plans.
In addition, 29% clients say they regret not saving more and spending less while 15% say they regret not having enjoyed their money more.
"That's what a financial plan is meant to do, to make sure that you don't make unnecessary sacrifices through life," Nadreau says.
The survey was conducted online and polled 1,993 affluent investors between 30 and 75 years old.

Each week we will be focusing on blogs from around the world dealing specifically with urban environments. We'll be on the lookout for websites outside the country that approach themes related to urban experiences and issues.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
• According to a CNN report the American urban landscape is undergoing a transformation–sprawling suburbs are on their way out and sustainable, urban-centric development is on its way in. The article looks a five American cities exemplary of the 'new urban century' that will usher in improved transit, more green space and vibrant downtown districts.
• The CNN report claims are being echoed by a recent U.S. EPA study that suggests redevelopment of urban centers is taking place at a significantly higher level then development on the periphery. As reported by the New York Times the study–titled "Residential Construction Trends in America's Metropolitan Regions"–suggests a "fundamental shift has begun in the [American] real estate market".
• But over on New Geography blog these kinds of claims are being questioned and refuted. Aaron M. Renn argues that "triumphalist rhetoric" that smart growth and transit oriented development has come to America is based on false premises. This preemptive optimism is the result of a tendency to focus on new development in central cities and not the people who live there. Assessing population trends in Midwest cities Renn finds that, in fact, city cores continue to lose population to the outskirts.
• Bicycling.com has compiled a list of America's 50 top bike-friendly cities. The inclusion of an interactive map shows the geographical diversity of the country's bike-cities and lets users quickly access any of the cities' bike states.

After you cut out your own butterflies out of aluminum cans, you can use them in many creative ways. Here are a few ideas.
These butterflies were made by a middle school student. She is working on making a collection of them to flutter up her wall.
She choose to paint hers. Don't they look sweet? Add antenna if you like.
Make them into a mobile. This was made by a friend.
Use them as ornaments. Here is one I made and it seemingly rests on my finger.
I attached some to my ceiling fan pulls to help remind me which is the fan and which is the light.
I like the idea of using them in the garden as garden art. Further, they can be attached to trees to help one navigate down a winding forest path.
To learn more about how these were made, you may want to see my post: aluminum-can-butterfly-candle-holder.

The Learning Model
There is an approach to learning that has been proven to retain and transfer skills. It is called the Varied Practice Model (VPM). Access Code is the only reading intervention that utilizes this tested, proven learning model.
Unlike traditional approaches, the VPM highlights the critical relevant contrasts by varying contexts and tasks. The contrasts or the contexts highlight similarities and differences that help the learners develop the skills they need.
As a result, students can use these skills flexibly and automatically in varying contexts. This is critical for reading for fluency and comprehension. They must be able to automatically apply their knowledge and skills to new words and new contexts in connected text.
|This video example describes the application of the Varied Practice Model to the learning of motor skills. The same principles apply to the learning of reading skills./
The VPM in Access Code
Access Code's curriculum is organized around vowels/syllables (skills) and students work on these rules in single syllable words, phrases, and multi syllable words and across nearly two dozen reading-related tasks (contexts). The instruction and practice experiences students receive in Access Code help them develop the automatic word recognition and word attack skills that are necessary for increased reading fluency and comprehension.
Access Code differs from traditional approaches to skill learning that focus on the mastery of individual skills, usually through repetitive practice with little variation. It also differs from approaches to the teaching of reading that emphasize an immersion in language and print, which includes almost random variation. Within Access Code, students work within a systematic scope and sequence and an organized instructional design that provides an extensive, but carefully selected set of varied experiences with all of the rules of phonics.
Articles About the Varied Practice Model
Cognitive neuroscientists at USC and UCLA, in a 2010 study, describe the neural basis for the paradox variable practice improves the brain's memory of most skills better than practice focused on a single task.
Dr. Robert Bjork of UCLA discusses the benefits of interleaving practice.
Researchers at the University of Iowa found that exposure to word variation for early readers may boost their reading abilities.
An overview of critical concepts that should govern the structure of skill-development experiences at sport practices. Varied Practice is highlighted as a key concept.
Varied Practice is identified as an important approach to take in developing staff in the workplace.

Hubble captures strobe flashes from a young star
This time-lapse movie from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a pulse of light emanating from the protostellar object LRLL 54361. Most if not all of this light results from scattering off circumstellar dust in the protostellar envelope.
This sequence of images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a pulse of light emanating from the protostellar object LRLL 54361. Most if not all of this light results from scattering off circumstellar dust in the protostellar envelope.
An apparent edge-on disk visible at the centre of the object, and three separate structures are interpreted as outflow cavities. The extent and shape of the scattered light changes substantially over a 25.3-day period.
This is caused by the propagation of the light pulse through the nebula. Astronomers propose that the flashes are due to material in a circumstellar disk suddenly being dumped onto a binary pair of forming stars. This unleashes a blast of radiation each time the stars get close to each other in their orbit.
These near-infrared light images are from Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3.
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has produced a time-lapse movie of a mysterious protostar that behaves like a flashing light. Every 25.34 days, the object, designated LRLL 54361, unleashes a burst of light which propagates through the surrounding dust and gas. This is only the third time this phenomenon has been observed, and it is the most powerful such beacon seen to date. It is also the first to be seen associated with a light echo.
The cause of the fireworks seen in this Hubble image and video is hidden behind a dense disc and envelope of dust. However, astronomers think that the strobe effect is due to periodic interactions between two newly-formed stars that are gravitationally bound to each other.
These two stars drag material inwards from a surrounding disc of gas and dust. Astronomers propose that the light flashes seen in this video are due to this material suddenly being dumped onto the growing stars as they near one another in their orbits, unleashing a blast of radiation.
The protostar has such large brightness variations with a precise period that it is very difficult to explain," says James Muzerolle of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, USA, who has recently studied this fascinating object using Hubble and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Spitzer made repeated observations over seven years, before Hubble was pointed towards the object to make detailed observations over the period of one pulse event.
The Hubble observations uncover a spectacular movement of light away from the centre of the system, an optical illusion known as a light echo. While it might look like eruptions of gas are coming out of the protostar, these pulses are actually flashes of light propagating through the surrounding dust and gas and reflecting towards the observer: there is no substantial physical motion within the cloud over these timescales.
Flashing double star systems like this one are rare, because close binaries account for only a few percent of our galaxy's stellar population. Moreover, the pulsing light is likely to be a brief phenomenon in the early life of a star.
This infrared image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows an image of protostellar object LRLL 54361.
The protostar is letting off flashes of light every 25.3 days.
This image shows:
On the left, an infrared image from the NASA Spitzer Space Telescope shows LRLL 54361 inside the star-forming region IC 348 located 950 light-years away. The Spitzer Space Telescope discovered the unusual flashing protostar here.
In the centre: This Hubble image resolves the detailed structure around the protostar, consisting of two cavities that are traced by light scattered off their edges above and below a dusty disk. The cavities were likely blown out of the surrounding natal envelope of dust and gas by an outflow launched near the central object.
On the right: This artist's impression represents scientists' theory for how and why the protostar gives off these regular flashes of light. Astronomers propose that the flashes are due to material in a circumstellar disk suddenly being dumped onto the growing stars and unleashing a blast of radiation each time the stars get close to each other in their orbit.

A harsh blast of cold air that will change rain to snow in the Northeast Tuesday night will be quick to leave.
Rain will change to snow from central New York to Maine early Tuesday night. Some wet snowflakes will mix in with the rain in Philadelphia and New York City as temperatures quickly plummet into the 30s.
Much of the precipitation will taper off after midnight across the Northeast except for eastern New England. However, if there are any lingering wet or slushy roads, subfreezing temperatures could make the roads icy, especially across the interior.
Snow fell in Chicago from late Monday into Monday night, which generally brought wet roadways to the area. However, some slick spots developed for the Tuesday morning commute as the low reached 26 F.
Detroit received just over 3 inches of snow late Monday night into Tuesday morning, which made the 2013-2014 season the snowiest on record with 94.8 inches.
Record Lows Tuesday Morning
Pittsburgh, Pa., dropped 30 degrees in six hours Tuesday morning in wake of the strong cold front responsible for this cold blast.
"It's hard to get this quick of a temperature drop in January let alone April," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist John Gresiak said.
I heard it was just 80 degrees in Cincinnati, and now there's snow on the ground... I thought April Fools was 2 weeks ago.— Jamel Herring (@JamelHerring) April 15, 2014
Temperatures will continue to plummet across the East Tuesday night.
The cold will bring a widespread freeze in areas from Little Rock and Atlanta to Louisville, Ky., and Raleigh, N.C.
"The cold blast was totally unwelcome but it will be brief," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams said.
As quick as the cold blast came in, it will quickly bounce back.
The jet stream will retreat back to the north Wednesday and Thursday, which will allow some of the southern warmth to build back northward.
"April is a big transition month," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bernie Rayno said. "There are these battles between the lingering cold across Canada and building warmth in the southern U.S."
What happened to spring? #SnowinApril pic.twitter.com/IFqDdpuC0t— Brock University (@BrockUniversity) April 15, 2014
Highs will rebound into the mid-50s in Chicago by Wednesday with similar highs getting back into New York City by Thursday.
The warmup will generally last into the weekend for many areas from the Midwest to the Northeast.
A weak storm could bring a quick day-long cooldown from the Great Lakes to the interior Northeast Friday into Saturday. However, the strength and extent of this most recent cold blast will not be matched through the end of April as temperatures continue their upward swing heading deeper in spring.
Aside from a couple of showers, springtime warmth will prevail for Washington Nationals' and New York Mets' baseball fans with hometown series this upcoming weekend. Sunshine and highs near 70 should prevail for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll next Monday in Washington, D.C.

Own/Occupy a Slice of Canterbury's Heritage
On offer for Sale or Lease are three floors of this iconic heritage building that is currently undergoing strengthening/restoration work. The project is the brainchild of Michael King (Director - Centraus, Structural Consulting Engineers) who, after consulting to several would-be purchasers of the Mill, decided to embark on this ambitious restoration project himself. The project will be delivered over two phases.
Phase 1 focuses on the strengthening and refurbishment of four story flour mill and adjoining amenities tower, which will be converted into boutique offices where the vision is to attract tenants from creative industries such as architects, engineers, designers, advertising, marketing etc.
Phase 2 will develop the larger grain store into retail and entertainment hub and will include a theatre, hospitality and indoor markets as well as seven loft apartments. The Woods Mill restoration is a truly unique opportunity to own a slice of Canterbury's history.
For Lease: 238m2 * at $59,500 + GST + Outgoings

A pennant chase is a term used in Major League Baseball that originally referred to the teams competing for the league title, and in 2014, also refers to the chase for the division title. The addition of division pennants came in 1969.Continue Reading
Until 1969, baseball's two leagues, the American and National, were made up of a single division. In 1993, both leagues expanded from two divisions to three. The changes in the layout also led to changes in postseason play.

MIDTOWN — That slog up the stairs after getting off the subway at Grand Central Station could eventually be a thing of the past — if developers agree to build massive new skyscrapers in East Midtown, officials said.
On Wednesday, MTA and City Planning officials presented a plan to ease crowding in busy subway stations around the area, which the city is proposing the rezone, allowing real estate developers to build huge new office towers.
The plan would add new escalators, stairs, passageways and space on platforms at some of the city's most congested subway stations, officials said at a meeting to discuss the proposal.
The changes would, in effect, be paid for by developers, who would need to put cash into a "district improvement fund" in order to build taller buildings under the rezoning plan, officials noted.
The improvements, estimated to cost between $340 million and $465 million, would focus on the train lines at Grand Central, the Fifth Avenue/53rd Street Station and Lexington Avenue/53rd Street Station, allowing the cash-strapped MTA to bypass its budget to fix up the stations.
The district improvement fund could only be tapped for local pedestrian and transit improvements in the Midtown East area, essentially giving the MTA a fund outside their budget to make the much-needed improvements — but only if development happens.
"We're constantly having to prioritize and decide where to spend scarce resources," said the MTA's Fredericka Cuenca. "You have a separate funding stream focused on making improvements on the Midtown East stations."
The goal, the MTA said, would be to ease congestion at the major stations by creating more space and better ways to move to and from the platform.
By eliminating crowding at Grand Central, in particular, the improvements would help the entirety of the Lexington Avenue subway line, officials said.
"At platform level itself, there's very bad congestion to the extent that it impacts the ability to move trains along," said David Haase, the MTA's Director of Station Operations Planning.
"We think station improvements can help the whole line work better."
Grand Central in particular will soon see significantly more riders, as the East Side Access project will bring in more commuters from Long Island and extend the 7 Train to the West Side.
But some members of Community Board 5 took issue with the plan, saying it puts funding for much-needed transit improvements in the hands of developers. If the development doesn't happen, nor would the station upgrades, they argued.
"What we're saying now is if no development occurs in 2030, we'll be in bad shape," said Raju Mann, a board member who said that the city should look at creating a tax in the area to help pay for the improvements.
"If we are trying to create a great commercial district, why can't we find alternate revenue streams to fund the transit that needs to be made?"
City officials said a tax was unfeasible, but did add that the transit improvements would likely be ready before the new buildings open up, allowing stations to absorb thousands of new commuters.
Developers will have to pay into the improvement fund when they get their building permit — typically years before a new skyscraper comes online. The funding would also be paid out in separate chunks as developers obtain building permits, meaning the projects would likely be completely piece by piece.
City officials hope to formalize the rezoning plan by early 2013, though if approved, it would not go into effect for another five years.

Here are the process which you need to know about APKTool Basics: Modding Android Apps.
First we must setup everything required apps. Download them here.
Now extract APKTool to:
C:\APKTool\After all mentioned above, we are now ready for modding.
I. Installing Framework
II. Decompiling
III. Start Editing
IV. Recompile
V. Signing
APKTool Basics: Modding Android AppsI. INSTALLING FRAMEWORK
Installing your ROM's framework will be the first thing to do when modding to obtain compatibility.
1. You must take/copy the "framework-res.apk" file from your current ROM and place it to APKTool folder, you can find it at "system/framework/framework-res.apk".
2. Go to APKTool folder and run "Command Prompt" file as administrator.
3. A command prompt will appear and type this command.
apktool if framework-res.apk
Decompiling is the process of decoding or producing the source codes of any program. Without decompiling a program, it is impossible to be read by human. We must decompile APK files so we can be able to edit XML files and smali files.
To decompile an APK file, you must place it to APKTool folder and run command prompt. So this is the command to decompile.
apktool d sample.apk sample_folder
In my case I want to decompile my SystemUI.apk which is responsible for Statusbar elements.
After successful decompiling APK, a folder will be created as what you named it.
This is the difficult part of modding. For now, start with replacing icons and PNGs but be sure it has the same file extension and the same size.
You can find the icons and PNGs used in the APK by opening the decompiled APK folder
\res\drawable-hdpi or mdpi or ldpi, depends on your screen resolution.
I'll be posting more of it soon so let's just stick with the basic guides.
This will be the stage of rebuilding the codes, XMLs and smali files back into a single APK file. To recompile, simply run the command prompt follow this command:
apktool b sample_folder_name new_sample.apk
In my case, I want to recompile my decompiled SystemUI folder.
Sign only non system apps unless you have modified AndroidManifest.xml file. From command prompt, type:
java -jar SignApk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 sample.apk signed_sample.apk

A Month of Self-Published Comics: Doug Deever: Dumpster Diver #1
This month I am posting a review of a different self-published comic book each day for the rest of the month! Here is an archive of the books reviewed so far!
Today I am featuring Russ Kazmierczak and Brent Otey's Doug Deever: Dumpster Diver #1.
Doug Deever is a bizarre comic book that has a quirky, endearing premise.
The idea behind the comic is that Doug Deever, when a child, was often forced to live outside by his evil mother. He eventually decided to embrace living outside in the trash and became obsessed with trash. As a young man (after the un/timely death of his mother by a collapsing pile of trash), Doug sought out a place where he could live with trash – this brings him into contact with a group of homeless people who perhaps do not understand Doug's obsession with trash, but in the end, they end up with him anyways, so they learn to live with his peccadilloes – will the rest of the populace be so forgiving, however?
As a premise, Doug Deever works really well. I could easily see it working as a cartoon series, perhaps one on Adult Swim. A weird dude obssesed with garbage makes his way in the world with a motley crew of quirky homeless guys
That can definitely work, and it's a clever idea by Kazmierczak.
As for the actual comic book…
The production values are very strong. It's a well put together book.
I found the captions hard to follow at times – the book is all colored brown and white, so having brown captions on brown paper with tiny captions written in cursive – not a great recipe for a legible reading experience.
Brent Otey takes an interesting approach to the art in the comic. The backgrounds are mixtures of photographs and drawings (mostly photographs), with the characters depicted in one of two ways – the "normal" people are drawn as almost animated photographs of heads, while the homeless people and Doug are drawn in extremely simplistic cartoonish styles. The result is that Doug and his friends definitely do pop off of the page more dramatically than if they were depicted in a more standard style (again, the whole book is bathed in brown, so having Doug and the others being bright white cartoon characters is certainly useful). Doug's mother is a variation of the second style – she's cartoonish, but she wears a pig mask for some reason.
The plot is fairly simplistic, but it has a nice hook (and a great resolution).
Anyhow, as a premise/idea, I'd give it high marks, but I dunno if I'd necessarily recommend the physical comic itself.
Check out their website at K.O. Comix here.
Ross sent me a copy of Doug Deever: Dumpster Diver #1 for review. If you would like to participate in the month with your self-published comic, there most likely is still time (depending on how fast you mail out comics). Just check out the Review Copies section to see where to mail a review copy of your comic.

P0418 code definition
A P0418 trouble code is an indicator that a problem has occurred in the secondary air injection system. Some codes related to P0718 include P0410, P0411, P0412, P0413, P0414, P0415, P0416, P0417, and P0419 trouble codes.
What the P0418 code means
A P0418 trouble code is stored on the PCM when voltage readings from the secondary air injection system register a difference of more than 10 percent over manufacturer's specifications. In addition to storing the code and illuminating the Check Engine light on initial detection, some vehicle models require multiple ignition cycles before an indicator lamp is lit.
What causes the P0418 code?
The causes of a P0418 trouble code often occur during cold weather and include water entering the secondary injection valve system via a faulty one-way check valve. Some other causes include wiring and connectors becoming burnt by high-temperature engine exhaust and an overloaded circuit, resulting in a blown fuse.
What are the symptoms of the P0418 code?
Symptoms of this code include engine hesitation when accelerating and stalling at startup and while idling. Another indication of a problem with the secondary air injection system is abnormal noise generating from the components.
How does a mechanic diagnose the P0418 code?
Diagnosing a P0418 trouble code requires the mechanic to use a digital volt/ohmmeter and an advanced scanner. In addition to these tools, the mechanic also needs to perform the following steps when diagnosing:
- Inspect the one-way check valves to make sure they are still working properly. This requires the mechanic to remove the check valve and blow through it both ways. If the check valve is working, air should only pass through the valve one way.
- Inspect any wiring, connectors, and components for damage.
- Visually inspect all secondary air injection system fittings and hoses. The mechanic should look for any cracking, breaking, or other damage.
- Check the fuses associated with the secondary air injection system. The mechanic can use the manufacturer's service manual to determine fuse locations.
- If the fuses blow after replacement, diagnose the secondary air injector pump for failure.
- Clear the code and test drive the vehicle to see if the code returns.
Common mistakes when diagnosing the P0418 code
Mechanics oftentimes fail to drain excess water from the pump housing when replacing a damaged secondary air injection pump. This, in turn, leads to the pump refreezing upon exposure to cold temperatures and the pump binding up and failing again. This problem is further increased if a mechanic fails to inspect and replace a faulty one-way check valve, which allows moisture to buildup and the pump to fail again upon water allowed into the system freezing.
How serious is the P0418 code?
If this problem is not fixed before cold weather hits, the water in the system can freeze and bind the pump, causing it to fail. Failure of the secondary air injection pump leads to higher emissions from the affected vehicle.
What repairs can fix the P0418 code?
To fix a P0418 trouble code, the mechanic should perform the following repairs if the secondary air injection system wiring, connectors, or components are found to be faulty:
- Replace the one-way check valves if they do not work properly.
- Replace any damaged or faulty wiring or connectors.
- Replace any damaged or cracked fittings or hoses on the secondary air injection system.
- Replace any blown fuses associated with the secondary air injection system, looking for reoccurrence of the fuses blowing upon testing.
- Replace the secondary air injection pump if further diagnosis determines it to be at fault.

Ballad of the Sad Cafe, pages 49 - 71 Summary
Amelia finally arrives, and spots Lymon and Marvin at the same time. Cousin Lymon is trying to ingratiate himself to Marvin by wiggling his ears, something that Amelia loves. But Marvin only asks if the 'brokeback' is having a fit, and he becomes annoyed with Lymon's friendliness, finally bashing him over the head. Everyone holds their breath, expecting Amelia to react to this violence, but Amelia seems to be in a trance, not reacting. Perhaps she does not want to hurt her love's object of love, Marvin, because she can see the attraction Lymon now has for Marvin. Marvin, triumphant, walks away from the barbecue.
Marvin spends the next few days loafing around, taking advantage of his poor foster mother, and generally raising a little hell and fear around town. Lymon...

International Syria envoy Lakhdar Brahimi has said that the country is on the verge of fragmenting, voicing exasperation at inaction by the UN Security Council. His comments follow reports of a massacre in Aleppo.
In a direct appeal to the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday, Brahimi said the country was "breaking up before everyone's eyes."
"Only the international community can help, and first and foremost the Security Council," Brahimi was quoted by diplomatic sources as having told the council's 15 ambassadors. He added that "unprecedented levels of horror" had been reached, with both the rebels and government guilty of atrocities.
Brahimi, a former Algerian foreign minister who has held the envoy role since September last year, said he apologized for sounding like a "broken old record."
The comments came ahead of a donor conference in Kuwait on Wednesday, at which the UN is seeking $1.5 billion (1.1 billion euros) from the international community for refugees inside and outside Syria.
#video#Brahimi told reporters after the meeting that he would not quit until he felt that his efforts were in vain. "I am not a quitter," said Brahimi. "The moment I feel I am totally useless, I will not stay a minute more."
'No hope without unity'
The Security Council is divided over Syria, with Russia and China vetoing resolutions - favored by the US, Britain, France and other Western powers - that threatened sanctions. Brahimi warned his mediation effort could not go forward without unity in the council.
Brahimi's comments came after opposition activists claimed that least 65 people were found shot dead in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the dead were young men aged between 20 and 30, found in the city's Quwaiq River with single gunshot wounds to the head and neck. The Syrian government and rebels have blamed each other for the killings.
A video posted on YouTube, which cannot be verified, showed a row of bodies lying along the banks of a river, many with their hands tied. The United Nations says more than 60,000 people have been killed in the 22-month conflict.

Publisher's Summary
From the military's ENIAC of 1946 to the ripening of the Web and e-commerce, Nielsen's Computing: A Business History details the evolution of computing as it has impacted the models and practices of markets and professional services around the globe. Nielsen explains not only the development of technologies, but the ongoing saga of strategic rivalries between such tech firms as IBM, Cisco, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Facebook.
He surveys the rise and fall of companies and platforms from the early days of the mainframe when the likes of Sperry Rand and DEC laid unsuccessful siege to IBM's market-share, through the era of Windows vs. Mac and beyond.
And he vividly depicts the brilliant, but often rapacious, personalities behind the competition that shaped the business computing environment we know today.

A fine refresher in basic history, personalities
My knowledge in this area was somewhat patchy, as my interest waxed and waned over the last decades. This connected the dots nicely, and in an economic time frame.

erroneous statement
The author made an erroneous statement about the PLATO system being developed by CDC. it was actually developed by the CERL lab at the University of Illinois at Champaign - Urbana. It was eventually built off of a CDC mainframe computer. otherwise enjoyable.

|Japan Railway & Transport Review No. 59 (photostories)
Japanese Station Lunchbox Wrappers
Railways started in Japan in 1872. As the network spread
and more people travelled by train, there was increasing
demand for more onboard food services. One answer to this
need was ekiben station lunchboxes. It is widely believed
that ekiben started when a Japanese hotel owner sold a
lunchbox containing two rice balls and several slices of
pickled radish at Utsunomiya Station in 1885. Initially, ekiben were sold from the platform to passengers leaning out the

Study: Five-Star, consumer rankings agree 'minimally' on SNF quality
Mukamel: Nursing home rating measures should help consumers find the best facility for their needs
Current government ratings for nursing homes such as Nursing Home Compare differ so much from consumers' personal rankings, they could benefit from personalization, according to a new study.
Conducted by researchers at the University of California-Irvine, the study targeted government-provided, Five-Star Ratings System-based nursing home ratings, like those found on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Nursing Home Compare website.
Nursing Home Compare offers a "one-size-fits-all-patients" look at skilled nursing facilities that doesn't take into account individual patients' medical needs and preferences, researchers said. Allowing consumers to personalize the nursing home ratings could paint a broader picture of the facilities, and help consumers choose which provider is the best for them, the team suggested.
To test that hypothesis, researchers created an iPad application called Nursing Home Compare Plus, which allowed patients and their families to rank the importance of quality measures, depending on their personal medical needs and preferences. Nursing Home Compare Plus was tested by 146 patients who were discharged from the UC Irvine Medical Center to skilled nursing facilities between February 2014 and August 2015.
The app took those patients' personalized rankings, along with data from Nursing Home Compare, and created a list of facilities tailored to their needs and wishes.
"Patients' medical needs and preferences vary," explained lead researcher Dana B. Mukamel, Ph.D., of the UC-Irvine. "Instead of looking for the 'best' provider along all measures, patients should be looking for the best provider for them. Therefore, allowing patients to personalize the composite measures has the potential to improve their choices."
Physical therapy staffing, nurse staffing, pain, state inspections and activities of daily living ranked highest among the quality measures selected by consumers for their personalized rankings (see Exhibit 1). Those choices varied greatly from the order CMS uses when calculating a facility's Five-Star rating, researchers found. CMS starts with the inspection rating, followed with the facility's staffing rating and finishing with quality measures like pain and pressure ulcer risk.
"When patients and their families have the option of creating their own composite scores based on their personal medical needs and preferences, they make different choices," Mukamel said. "Our findings suggest that patients may benefit if the rating report cards are modified to also include an option for personalized ranking of quality measures."
While consumer preferences and the government's rankings may vary, one is not "better" than the other, Mukamel noted. Some patients may prefer to rely on the Five-Star Ratings System as it relies on expert opinions, while others may want to be more involved in their nursing-home selection process.
Full results of the study, which was released Monday, appear in the April issue of Health Affairs.


text: Haiti's widespread lack of access to safe drinking water and poor sanitation is the leading cause of infant mortality and illness in children. Many children, especially those living in rural areas, do not in fact have any drinking water. Often, they spend long periods obtaining and carrying water: to the detriment of their education. In the Custine area nearly every water source has become contaminated with human and animal waste because of the absence of a sewage sanitation system. Give a well there would be life saving. The average cost for digging a well is $5,900 US Dollars.

You have told us that you want more gas in your cylinders, less weight and all round better value for money.
With this in mind, we are introducing two new cylinder packages to replace the existing W size cylinder in some of our most popular product ranges, and our customers in Scotland are the first to benefit.
What's happening and when?
Two new cylinder packages that both incorporate the new EVOS Ci™ valve technology will replace our existing W size cylinders. Existing manifolded cylinder pallets will also be replaced by new upgraded 300 bar packages.
Instead you will be offered one of our two new cylinder packages.
There will be no change to how you order, but you must ensure your equipment is suitable for use with the new packages. Just inform us which of the two new packages you would like, and we will handle the rest.
The products affected by the new cylinder roll out are as follows:
|Cylinder Size
|Replacement Date
|June 2015
|WW (MCP's)
|June 2015
|Argon and Argoshield
|September 2015
|Argon and Argoshield
|WW (MCP's)
|September 2015
|November 2015
|WW (MCP's)
|December 2015
After the above dates the existing W cylinders will no longer be available to order in the Scotland area (including Carlisle). The rest of the UK will follow at a later date.
Instead you'll be given the choice between two new cylinder packages:
Option 1 : 50L 300 bar cylinder
Contains up to 38% more gas than the current W cylinder
Option 2: 33L 300 bar cylinder
Lighter than the existing W - easier to manoeuvre but only 10% less gas
If you currently take the 230 bar MCP's, these will also be replaced by a new 300 bar package.
Remember: From June 2015, when you call us or visit one of our stores to exchange your nitrogen cylinder, you'll be offered a choice of one of the new cylinders as an alternative - you just need to tell us which option best suits you.
Read more about the benefits of each cylinder package to decide which best suits your business
Preparing for the change
From a safety perspective, all 300 bar cylinders are fitted with an ISO 5145/Nevoc valve to prevent inadvertent use of a lower pressure rated regulator. The new EVOS cylinder valve is no different, so you will need to purchase a new 300 bar rated regulator suitable for use with the new package to take advantage of the benefits on offer.

yes we have tasted before but long time ago,
yes it's opposite the Police Station but the name is not Lee Wah Kee.
It should be Loke Yun and not Lee Wah Kee.
Wrong number, my friend…..a few more doors ahead we could have hit the right note.
A mistake we made, we went into Restoran Lee Wah Kee for a wrong Chicken Rice but nevertheless the wrong chicken rice is not too bad at all.
The Taugeh is not from Ipoh but it's from Ampang, it's fresh, succulent and tasty.
Meat ball soup was nice too and went for refill…
The operator of this shop has to be a Hakka (cos' they communicated in such lingo) and I came with a Hainanese friend, he shakes his head as he was not happy with the rice… Lee Wah Kee should improve in his standard of the chicken rice.
