Two and a half years later, Kristen (a.k.a. The Mominatrix), has published The Mominatrix's Guide to Sex. In addition to wishing that I came up with the name first, I can't express just how exciting it is to see friends getting book deals.
I'm participating in the Silicon Valley Moms Blog book club today, but I paid for this book myself a couple of months ago, because Kristen is as funny as ever. One of my favorite quips is in a chapter about birth control, where she prints a table comparing methods, effectiveness, and side effects. Under the Counting method (sometimes known as rhythm), the side effect is, um, babies.
Speaking of SV Moms Blog, my last post (Confessions of a Scrapbook Drop-out) got picked up for syndication! Sacramento Bee and Charlotte News-Observer, here I come.

Aside from the obvious adversity of a spinal cord injury, learning to manage a neurogenic bladder and its erratic function can prove to be one of the biggest challenges of recovery. My other title of this article is "Bladder Pee-ace" because that is what I seek.
In this first part of a two-part article on Bladder and Bowl management, I will candidly share my trials and tribulations, and my methods of management of one the body's most fundamental functions.
I have learned that if you can control your bladder, you can control your life.
What Does Neurogenic Mean?
Neurogenic bladder is a term used to describe bladder dysfunction caused by neurologic damage. The condition can cause either flaccid or spastic symptoms including overflow incontinence, frequency, urgency, urge incontinence, and retention. There are risks of serious complications like recurrent infection, vesicoureteral reflux and autonomic dysreflexia. Google these terms to learn more and empower yourself with knowledge.
My Experience
Waking up to a paralyzed body with paralyzed bodily functions was humbling to say the least. Gone was my personal space, dignity and pride. I was completely reliant upon doctors, nurses, family and even close friends for my personal care. Without my ability to use my hands, I had no choice but to allow others to touch, tape, poke and prod my genitals for bladder relief. This was difficult to accept as a twenty-year-old.
In the beginning I relied on an indwelling catheter through my urethra, attached to an external foley at the side of my bed. This device needed to be monitored and emptied regularly to prevent infection. The pro of this was that I could drink as much fluid as I wanted, whenever I wanted because it would just drain through me without me knowing. But the con is that it would drain through me without me knowing, and I desperately wanted to know and control this personal function.
My initial progress came by way of the bladder medication Ditropan. The medicine helped me retain urine so that I could begin using an intermittent catheter (like the JAW). Again, my hand function was limited, so someone had to perform the tasks of inserting and sanitizing every four hours.
Fortunately over time I began to experience a return of sensation in my body. But unfortunately that meant I could feel every excruciating millimeter of catheter hose being inserted into my penis four-to-six times a day.
This forced me to begin using an external condom catheter connected to a leg bag via a small rubber hose. Initially this solution needed to be refined to prevent condom leaks, hose kinks and bag ruptures, all of which would ruin my day.
Ultimately though, I found progress in my ability to listen and understand my bladder cues for when I needed to urinate. I discovered that by tapping lightly on my bladder (lower belly) I could trigger a release in my bladder which helped me void more completely (100-300cc). This is the technique I use today. And although I cannot hold my bladder for very long (1-3 minutes) I manage to live mostly accident free…
Operative word: mostly.
With all my years of experience and methods of strategic, timely hydration, I can still get caught by an untimely bladder spasm or leak. That's life.
Embarrassing Example
I thoroughly enjoy public speaking. I love the preparation, the butterflies, and the connection to an audience. What I do not enjoy is the stress associated with bladder control while on a stage. I can vividly remember in April 2015: I was speaking in front of hundreds of people, spotlight on me, and I had misjudged my bladder timing. My world became excruciatingly stressful, my mind went blank, sweat poured down my forehead, and I could feel my blood pressure rising. In that moment, I could not leave the stage, so I literally was in the spotlight standing in a puddle of my own pee. Oh, the humility of that moment, I will never forget. Thank goodness for black pants!
Nowadays you will find me strategically hydrating and premeditating my social outings, seeking to find the most accessible and discreet places to pee. I keep a twist-top bottle handy at all times, and red solo-cups strategically placed in my car and around my house. I also find solace in using a leg bag for extended travel and prolonged public events.
This is my way of maintaining a stress free pee-ace of mind.

Occupational therapy may not delay Alzheimer's decline, SNF admission
Occupational therapy may not help slow down physical decline associated with Alzheimer's disease or delay the need for nursing home admission, research published Tuesday indicated.
Teams at the Indiana University Center for Aging Research and the Regenstrief Institute studied whether home-based occupational therapy helped the physical decline of people with Alzheimer's disease.
One cohort of patients and their informal caregivers received visits from occupational therapists over the course of two years. The therapy was designed to meet each patient's' individual needs, and honed in on caregiver-identified issues such as bathing.
At the end of the study period, both the group that received therapy and the one that hadn't received the services showed similar declines in functional living scores. The findings contradict previous, smaller-scale studies that occupational therapy may help stave off dementia's effects, said lead researcher Christopher Callahan, M.D., in a news release.
"The participants in the study declined both mentally and functionally as the neurodegeneration of the brain continued," Callahan said. "This is a disappointing outcome because previously published, but shorter-term studies had suggested these interventions might be able to slow the physical decline that leads to nursing home placement."
While Alzheimer's-associated functional decline may be "irreversible," people with the disease and their caregivers could still turn to assistive technologies, home modifications and community services to stay in their homes as long as possible, Callahan noted.
Results of the study were published Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

IRI's Chief Executive Selected for Second Annual "Women to Watch" List
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Insured Retirement Institute (IRI) today announced that IRI President and CEO Cathy Weatherford has been honored by InvestmentNews as one of its "Women to Watch" for 2016. The InvestmentNews award honors female financial advisors and industry executives who exemplify the definition of true leaders and role models. The 2016 honorees were announced in today's issue of InvestmentNews.
"Cathy and the other winners of this award are each distinguished leaders, who have advanced the business of providing advice through their passion, creativity and willingness to help other women along the way," said Robert DeChellis, Chairman of the IRI Board of Directors and President and CEO of Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC. "Not only has Cathy been a tremendous advocate for our industry, but she also has been a leading voice for ensuring that the advisor community is inclusive and diverse. It is a great privilege to announce her as a recipient of this award and congratulate her on a well-earned achievement."
Under Weatherford's leadership, IRI has pursued and produced ground-breaking research examining the need to recruit more women to financial planning careers to help meet the diverse needs of the female market. Weatherford also has penned a new book, "Women and Wealth: Inspiring Stories from Real Women on the Path to Financial Success," which will be available on Amazon.com and myIRIonline.org in January 2017. Her book contains stories from real women facing financial challenges. Each story offers lessons to provide practical knowledge and guidance for advisors to help other women.
Weatherford became President and CEO of IRI in 2008 and quickly began an extensive reorganization and rebranding of the association. This rebranding initiative resulted in expansive membership growth and more than doubled the organization's budget. It also included instituting a research division, relocating the association to Washington, D.C., and establishing a government affairs operation to advocate for policies that encourage savings and promote lifetime income.
Weatherford has spent most of her 40-year career as a regulator and consumer advocate. Before her tenure at IRI, she served as the CEO of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). She also was the first woman to serve as Oklahoma's Insurance Commissioner, a statewide elected office, a position she held from 1991 to 1995. In this capacity, she served on the Board of Trustees of the Oklahoma State Employees Retirement Systems and on the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma State Employees Group Insurance Program. Weatherford also served as a Senior Policy Advisor to Oklahoma Governor David Walters prior to becoming Insurance Commissioner.
In addition to this honor, Weatherford has received numerous awards for her leadership and contributions to national consumer education, including the Corporate and Social Responsibility Award for Distinguished Service in Promoting Sustainable Finance & Consumer Education for Retirees from City and State Reports, and Outstanding Association Executive from CEO Update. Under Weatherford's leadership, IRI also was honored by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) as a 2016 recipient of the "Power of A" Silver Award for its efforts leading the National Retirement Planning Coalition, which organizes National Retirement Planning Week® each year.
Weatherford is a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Association Committee of 100, as well as the Exchequer Club of Washington, D.C., a preeminent forum for industry leaders to discuss national economic and financial policy issues.

Responding to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's motion to dismiss his June conviction on corruption charges, federal prosecutors in a filing Monday rejected allegations of bias, saying trial decisions were focused on facts and evidence.
In a 158-page motion in July, Blagojevich said his case should be dismissed because of widespread judicial and prosecutorial bias.
"In reality, there was no bias, manipulation, or unfairness on the part of the prosecution, judge or jury. Defendant was fairly convicted by a jury of his peers based on overwhelming evidence, and his post-trial motions therefore should be denied," prosecutors wrote in their filing.

County officials are ready to submit their grant application in hopes of receiving funds to get the Cass County Courthouse clock ticking once again.
County Economic Developer Melissa Freeman, assisted by local clock enthusiast Larry Boucher, presented their application to Cass County commissioners late last month.
New York Essence of Time clock restorer Chuck Roeser examined the clock in late May and said it needs total restoration. The quotes given for the restoration and preservation of the clock, a 1909 Seth Thomas Model No. 16, were offered in three components.
The first option, with a cost set at $33,500, was given to restore the clock mechanism as it now, with an electric motor.
The second option, to restore the movement back to an original, came in at $60,000.
As a third additional option, Roeser is also recommending restoring the exterior wooden dials, for an additional $24,000.
"Everybody that I've talked to about the tower clock has been 101 percent supportive," Boucher said.
During a meeting earlier this summer, Presiding Commissioner Jeff Cox asked Freeman to pursue a grant from the Missouri State Historic Preservation Office. The organization awards about $1 million annually statewide. The maximum awarded per project is $100,000.
"All of our state legislators have written letters of support," Freeman said. "It's a significant project."
The grant application is due in mid-October and winners are expected to be awarded four to six weeks after the deadline.
"It's a competitive process," Freeman said.
A 30 percent match is required for the grant.
With other expenses figured in, Cox said, the total cost of project is $106,450. If awarded the grant, the county would be on the hook for approximately $31,000.

Ron Paul Quotes About SafetyQuotes about: Safety
Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens' lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.
But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring. Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty.
It is incumbent on a great nation to remain confident, if it wishes to remain free. We need not be ignorant to real threats to our safety, against which we must remain vigilant. We need only to banish to the ash heap of history the notion that we ought to be ruled by our fears and those who use them to enhance their own power.

Mako has been building boats since 1966 and have a reputation of building "revolutionary fishing boats that are the most rugged in the world". Durability is their trademark and their target is the salt water fisherman, but the boat is obviously suitable for the Great Lakes and other fresh water lakes. This boat is in "perfect" condition and would be great for family day cruising or serious fishing. Forward of the helm station is an open bow for socializing, sunbathing or relaxing. Behind the helm area is the large aft cockpit which can accommodate a number of fishing rigs to include down and out riggers. There is plenty of storage including a live well and rod storage. She's fast too: 40-48 kts @ 5500 rpm on the top end. The Mariner 200XL is a work horse. This is a one-owner boat purchased new in 1997 and wasn't ever in the water until then.

"...the Bible is the only reliable source of ancient history. Most history books have been contaminated with evolutionary thinking."
Port Charlotte, FL (PRWEB) January 17, 2013
Epic author R Frederick Riddle, known primarily as an author of Bible-based fiction, has long believed that given the current economic conditions people should not have to pay full retail prices for anything, much less his books. It was this thinking that originally caused him to establish his own website and offer discount pricing.
While already offering discount pricing prior to Christmas, he determined that he wanted to offer a deeper Christmas discount to be followed by a more permanent discount in the New Year. Below is the new pricing schedule.
The soft cover copies of both books retail for $ 29.95, the new price is $ 22.95. This is a savings of $ 7.00. The hard cover copies normally retail for $ 34.95, but are now $ 27.95, also a $ 7.00 savings.
In addition, the special set of both books, which would normally sell for $ 59.90, will now be sold for $ 42.95, a whopping savings of $ 16.95. No where else is this Combo offered.
All discounts are exclusive with the R Frederick Riddle website. As in the past, he continues to give free shipping (no minimum order) and he autographs each book.
In addition to his books, Mr. Riddle continues to offer his Riddle's Point of View Newsletter as a free service. This newsletter has grown in the past year in its coverage of creation, evolution, and current events. Along this same theme is his blog, Riddle's World. His Blog Talk Radio program, the R Frederick Riddle Show, covers news and current events.

A smart case that can make any phone friendly and easier to use for elderly and disabled people is launching on crowd-funding web site Kickstarter.
Developed by British telecommunications engineer Richard Chan and dubbed the EziSmart, the case has ergonomically-designed concave buttons that are easier to use than a touch screen when someone has trembling hands. The device also comes with an emergency help app through which the user can send an alarm to their next of kin in case of an accident. The system sends an automated SMS with a GPS location to the selected relative and contacts a manned emergency helpdesk.
"I got the idea when my elderly mother back in England suffered a series of serious strokes", said Chan, who has developed the smart case in cooperation with Norwegian research institute SITNEF.
"It was expensive to call and her disability made it impossible for her to communicate using Skype, even though she had all her faculties."
It took a serious accident, which left his mother lying on the floor for five hours and unable to call help, that forced Chan to have a serious look at the problems elderly and disabled people are facing when using a modern mobile phone.
"This was an idea that grabbed our attention at once", said SITNEF researcher and Project Manager Hanne Opsahl Austad. "We all know that smartphones make communication with the outside world very easy and that this enhances our quality of life. This is especially true for people who can't get out as much as others."
Chan has been working with SITNEF since the summer of 2015. He has already tested his invention with one Parkinson's disease sufferer.
"After only two minutes he could call and compose messages – something which previously had been impossible for him with the touch screen", said Chan.
The team now plans to run further tests with a panel of elderly and disabled users, who will be given the smart cases for a period of time to see how convenient it is for sending messages, taking pictures and surfing the web.
"The new system will be compatible with many different types of phones, giving the elderly the same freedom of choice as everyone else when it comes to choosing a phone", said Austad, explaining the major advantage of the smart case over existing mobile phones designed specifically for the elderly.
The team will be launching a Kickstarter campaign this month to get more funding. They hope to have the device on the market some time in 2016.

John Flanagan Quotes About GivingQuotes about: Giving
So I sent Halt to straighten matters out. Thought it might be a good idea to give him something to keep him busy." So what's Digby got to complain about?" Rodney asked. It was obvious from his tone that he felt no sympathy for the recalcitrant commander of Barga Hold. The Baron gestured for Lady Pauline to explain. Apparently," she said,"Halt threw him into the moat.
You will be getting a haircut, won't you?" Halt ran his hand through his hair. It was getting a little long, he thought. I'll give it a trim," he said, his hand dropping unconciously to the hilt of his saxe knife. This time, Pauline did look up. You'll get a haircut," she said. Her gaze was steady and unwavering. I'll get a haircut," he agreed meekly.

[IMGCAP(1)]Today we are witnessing the next step in the evolution of the accounting profession's technology stack and the next battleground of differentiation -- the emergence of business intelligence as a way to leverage the valuable data that accountants collect every day in the ordinary course of business.
What do I mean when I say business intelligence(BI)? In the accounting world, BI means automating the process of weeding through mountains of financial data to glean actionable insights, to help clients grow revenue and manage risk. Today, market leaders are using BI software to deliver real, demonstrable value to their clients.
Consider this: 30 years ago, calculators were virtually the only technology regularly used by most accounting firms (that is, if you don't count telephones and coffee machines). This necessarily meant that accountants spent most of their time crunching numbers and manually preparing financial statements and tax forms. It also meant that clients typically valued their accountants for three things: knowing the rules, getting the math right and submitting filings on time.
Then, over time, a powerful technology stack began to evolve within the accounting profession—creating valuable differentiation opportunities for high-performing firms with the foresight to embrace it.
It started with electronic spreadsheets, like the original VisiCalc. Most of us cannot even remember that "in the old days," when you changed just one number on a spreadsheet, you then had to recalculate every other figure. As its co-inventor Dan Bricklin observed, "VisiCalc took 20 hours of work per week for some people and turned it out in 15 minutes and let them become much more creative."
Soon the concepts behind VisiCalc morphed into Microsoft Office, which was followed quickly by ubiquitous email access—enabling firms to move towards electronic paper workflows.
Next came CRM and practice automation software within audit, assurance and tax, which forward-thinking firms have adopted in recent years to complete the migration to a paperless environment and all of the benefits that come with it.
As with every other step in this evolutionary process, BI is creating significant new differentiation opportunities for firms smart enough to embrace it. But this time, that differentiation is having a different impact than in the past.
Before now, almost all of the innovation in the accounting profession's technology stack was aimed at creating value for the accountant by automating manual internal processes. So the ROI was driven by lower firm costs.
However, business intelligence is the first layer in the stack that creates value for the business client, delivered through the accounting professional. So the ROI for BI software is driven by revenue growth, not cost savings. It's an important inflection point to note, because it also can help accelerate the transformation of accountants from commoditized number-crunchers to high-value trusted advisors.
How are firms using BI to grow revenue? Market leaders are combining two discrete trends, joining business intelligence with industry specialization to generate insights for clients and prospects within targeted industries. And they are making it a core part of their marketing and growth strategy.
Under this approach, firms are using BI software tools to gather data across large sets of clients and prospects within specific sectors, then developing insightful industry trends and benchmarks available nowhere else. They then leverage this unique content in public relations, marketing and with their existing clients to increase their thought-leadership position within that sector and drive new business.
This approach is creating a genuine "1+1=3" scenario, where the combination of two tactics is worth considerably more than the sum of the parts. For accounting firms, the combination of business intelligence with industry specialization is helping them market unique industry expertise with new and existing clients—leading to new business opportunities that would never have been thought possible back in the VisiCalc days.

Can you explain how Google Page Rank works?
Google page rank counts on behalf of many terms like quality information, inbound&outbound link, traffic, bounce rate of the page. And all page individually counts , and at last overall site page rank decide by calculation on each page value according to all above terms.
There are many sites that discuss the algorithm; have you done any searches?
Here's one:
A Survey of Google's PageRank
There is a LOT of information available; you just have to look for it.
Put the quality content on your website and create powerful link on .edu & .gov!!! Than your page rank will be good also you get the good keywords ranking.
Edited 6 Years Ago
by Narue: Removed fake signature
According to Sergey Brin and Lawrence (Larry) Page, Co-founders of Google, the PR of a webpage is calculated using this formula:
PR(A) = (1 - d) + d * SUM ((PR(I->A)/C(I))
There is a lot of information about this on many sites find this websites on google
Google PR sucks...it's update 2 or 3 months
Google Page Rank works multiple factors which we have listed below, Implement those Google Page Rank factors in your website and get ample amount of change in your PR.
-> Create Website content complete unique and customize.
-> Create search engine friendly navigation which includes simple directory or folder structure with proper file naming.
-> Execute file names with your business oriented key phrase, as result of this you will have good position in SERP at the starting.
-> Make your footer structure more friendly where your website visitor will have all pages which u offering in primary navigation and second navigation.
The Last and The Most Important
-> Create relevance and quality back links for your website.
It is very useful for searching the visibility of site & traffic on site.It is measure as per traffic on site. Back link & visiting of people on site.
Which page rank you talking about ??
There is two thigns, 1) Google search page rank and 2) Google toolbar Page rank
both are different things so let me know what you looking for ??
Thank you for this info, I have another question, How does Alexa calculates it ranks? and like we know that Page Rank is randomly updated by Google and it is not declared when they will increase the next update.. what about the Alexa? I have seen that the rank gets updated daily.. isnt that correct??
Nobody knows exactly how PageRank is made or how Alexa is computing the popularity, the known facts is that PageRank is function of backlinks and Alexa is getting it's input mostly by alexa bar.
Excuse me? I think you are mistaken, The Alexa bar is just to show that the rank & other features of the assumptions of a site by Alexa. the alexa bar is just a front end of the application. it does not have to do anything with the back-end of Alexa and its calculations
Google Page rank is the credibility of your Back-links. it all depends upon your back-link quality

There is two thigns, 1) Google search page rank and 2) Google toolbar Page rank
I mean, can you explain the difference between the two? I know I should just google it, however I'm quite confused already.. Enlighten me please...
PageRank is Google's way of deciding a page's importance. It matters because it is one of the factors that determines a page's ranking in the search results
Goggle pr shows that your website has how much unique quality content. Those websites which has high unique quality content ,google gives them high pr.
Google page rank built based on many factors like link juice, traffic, marketing, Branding etc.
Hi i am agree with all of you but i also added some formulas for calculating page ranks:
PR(A) = (1-d) + d(PR(t1)/C(t1) + ... + PR(tn)/C(tn))
a page's PageRank = 0.15 + 0.85 * (a "share" of the PageRank of every page that links to it)
I don't care how it works now,cause it is only a little use for ranking
Internet has a lot information about it. Try to find:)
Wow, that is some difficult math to compute right there. My head hurts just looking at that formula. Page rank is still valid, but the algorithms Google uses are so very complex that one formula is not going to explain it properly.
I believe page rank is still used to determine crawl priority and depth of a site. While still used, you still want to focus on the quality of your content and your links.
Which Social Media Sites are helps to get more traffic?
I see a lot of people having success with Facebook. Espacially in my niche, memes. But I find it hard to drive traffic from Facebook for free to my current ...
Do you have any suggestion, how to generate organic traffic?
There is another possibility to promote my client's fanpage than creating engaging content?

My interest is in how climate and the marine ecosystem influence coastal vegetation of the Falkland Islands. Seabird guano, the vehicle of marine-derived nutrients, is deposited in coastal vegetation called tussac grass. Tussac grasses are breeding grounds of some of the world's most important seabird rookeries (penguins!) and marine mammals (sea lions!!). I will use sediment and peat cores to reconstruct how seabirds and tussac grass fluctuated in the past during abrupt climate events.

I guess I need to hook up a serial cable and see if I can watch the console.
I borrowed the MAX3232 from my Plextor landisk system to see what is up, and when it locks nothing appears on the console. I tried sending breaks, but I never saw anything written which made me think these devices can be brought to the firmware prompt.
It would be really nice to get one more confirmation that sources after June 11 or so will not produce a stable kernel.
I think it's safe enough to say.With regards to instability in network use, I couldn't say since all I've done so far is scp a couple of gigabytes, but one of my Dockstars has been running simh for ten hours now, so strictly CPU-heavy tasks are fine.
Thanks, everyone. So far, so good. John

NEWARK, N.J. – Train service connecting some of the New York region's far-flung suburbs to Manhattan is scheduled to resume full operation Monday, marking a modest milestone for a system that was crippled by Superstorm Sandy and continues to feel the effects more than two months later.
In an unintended bit of timing, the announcement Friday came as New Jersey commuters closed out a week in which several accidents left scores of people injured and transit officials announced plans to close a major inbound roadway for two years for repairs.
The state's public transportation corporation, New Jersey Transit, which suffered an estimated $400 million in damage to its rail cars, locomotives and infrastructure in the storm, will have trains into Manhattan restored to pre-Sandy schedules, executive director James Weinstein said Friday.
That includes the North Jersey Coast Line, which sustained extensive damage from Sandy near South Amboy, where the storm shifted one rail bridge and several boats and cargo containers washed up onto another bridge.
It also includes two lines operated by NJ Transit for the New York-based Metro-North Railroad and serving northern New Jersey and New York's Orange and Rockland counties. Seven trains will be added on the two lines, which had used bus service in the weeks after the late October storm to fill in the gaps.
Friday's announcement follows by two days the news that the Port Authority Trans-Hudson line would resume 24-hour service on part of its system. PATH trains, a late-night lifeline for young professionals who work in Manhattan and live in Hoboken and Jersey City, have been ceasing operation at 10 p.m. to accommodate repair work.
Those were bright spots in a week in which, in order, an escalator at a Jersey City PATH station malfunctioned, injuring several people; a New York-bound commuter ferry crashed into a pier, injuring scores of people; and a bus bound for Wall Street from central New Jersey hit a school bus, causing more than a dozen injuries.
Then on Thursday, transportation officials announced that the heavily traveled inbound Pulaski Skyway, a primary feeder into the Holland Tunnel, would close for two years beginning in early 2014 as part of a $1 billion renovation.
Manny Arocho, a regular commuter from Newark to his job as a designer with a Manhattan engineering firm, said he's been bewildered by the recent string of mishaps and delays and feels officials seem to always be reactive rather than proactive.
"Every time something happens, it's like they don't seem prepared," he said. "I really don't think New Jersey is up to par like other states, where, if they get two feet of snow, it's nothing — here, it seems to shut down New Jersey for two weeks. Now that the ferry has crashed, they'll start looking at safety."
The superstorm killed people in 10 states but hit New York and New Jersey the hardest, flooding neighborhoods and destroying homes. It's New Jersey's worst natural disaster.
The region's rail and subway systems were dealt a wallop by the storm's tidal flood surge and hurricane-strength winds. PATH, Metro-North and NJ Transit suspended operations as the storm approached, as did New York City's subway system. Each was able to restore some service within the first week, with harder-hit sections taking weeks more, in some cases.
PATH service to New York out of Hoboken, where the century-old station was flooded with 8 feet of water, didn't resume until the week before Christmas, eight weeks after the storm.

Are You Ready To Get Nail'd?
Deep Silver announced today they will publish nail'd™, a new arcade-style off-road racer for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC.
nail'd eschews boring realism for over the top arcade fun. It's a racer that challenges everything from player reflexes to the rules of physics. Riding on ATVs and motocross bikes with powerful boost controls, players will race down near-vertical courses of incredible jumps, stunts and obstacles at an unprecedented level of speed. nail'd also shatters conventions when it comes to track design by emphasizing verticality and unbelievable drops instead of simply adding in a few jumps on mainly horizontal paths.
"Based on the response we've had from those who've seen it, we're sure that nail'd is going to redefine expectations of games of this genre," said Geoff Mulligan, Chief Operating Officer at Deep Silver. "To compete in the category, you have to be confident that you're going to stand out and nothing that I've seen on the shelves compares to what we're bringing to gamers. This game is going to give new meaning to the word adrenaline.
In addition to various exciting single-player modes, nail'd features an incredibly robust collection of multiplayer options for up to 12 players. Combined with an electrifying soundtrack featuring licensed music and original tunes composed and performed by heavy metal luminaries, un-lockable vehicle customization options and incredibly detailed leader boards, nail'd has something to offer racing fans of all types.
nail'd, developed by Techland, is scheduled for a worldwide launch in the 4th calendar quarter of 2010. For more information, visit http://www.naildgame.com, follow us on Twitter @naildgame, or on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/naildgame.

Hello Dear Reader
Close-up Challenge 1
I have been playing with a new lens recently. Photography, I think, is like writing, everyone wants to take pictures from time to time but only a percentage ever shows off. That percentage, is of course, millions of people. Now with the likes of various sites and apps on the interweb, phones, camera etc, photographs appear like writing.
So today I am adding to that mix with this offering and a challenge. How close can you go?
What can you do or find? It's interesting to see how close you can get with a camera these days and just how detailed everything is.
Enjoy and go shooting.
(All pictures Copywrite of course)
Tagline: 'I am ready for my close-up now'

Despite positive reports to the contrary, lawmakers failed to come up with a measure to rein in public employee pension costs even as they were called to Springfield for a special legislative session by Gov. Pat Quinn on Friday, under the guise of striking an agreement to overhaul Illinois' five retirement systems.
In one sense failure to act amounts to gross dereliction of duty by legislators; however, both Republicans and Democrats are reportedly calling Quinn's leadership one of failure, which, like a rudderless ship, spells disaster.

Chicago Public Schools officials said today they were evaluating what possible punishment 19 Whitney Young High School students could face after being arrested for underage drinking in a Downstate motel room early Saturday.
Monique Bond, a spokeswoman for the district, said at least 19 of a total of 27 people arrested in the Super 8 motel were students at the highly selective high school. She said the students could face district punishment, includng and up to expulsion.
Bond said the students were not part of a district-sanctioned trip and did not ride in buses provided by the district. As a result, Bond said the district was not required to supply chaperones. She did not know if there were any adults with the teens.

Lea Michele reunited with her Glee castmates on Thursday (25Jul13) at a memorial to honor her late boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith.
The actress, who was left devastated by the actor's sudden death in Canada on 13 July (13), and Glee creator Ryan Murphy invited cast and crew to join them and share their memories of the late star at the tribute event.
A statement from 20th Century Fox Television executives reads, "Today, Ryan Murphy and Lea Michele gathered the cast, crew and producers of Glee, along with colleagues from the network and studio, to share memories and music in an emotional celebration of the life of Cory Monteith.
"We thank the public for their continued outpouring of love and support as we grieve our friend and colleague during this difficult time."
Actor Chris Colfer took to his Instagram.com page after the event to share a photo of himself and his late pal, who played his stepbrother on the show. He wrote, "I'll never forget all the laughs we shared or the faces we made after awkward interview questions. Love and miss you, buddy."
Production on the upcoming fifth season of Glee was pushed back in the wake of the 31 year old's death, allowing cast and crew to mourn the loss of their friend and colleague. The new season of the show will debut a week later than planned in September (13).
Two episodes and a Monteith tribute show will air before Murphy and the show's writers begin a hiatus during which they'll decide where to take the program and their late leading man's character Finn Hudson.

what's new
For 2018, the 2018 Audi A3 Lease gets just modest improvements to gear availability. Two USB locations and hot entrance chairs are actually typical on all 2018 Audi A3 Lease, and blind-spot tracking is common on the Advanced Plus cut levels.
trim degrees & features
The 2018 Audi A3 Lease is offered in four-door sedan and two-door convertible (Cabriolet) human anatomy styles. Equally are available with front-wheel get or all-wheel drive. The trim degrees are named Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige in audi talk, which are listed in order of increasing content.
Front-wheel-drive 2018 Audi A3 Lease versions have a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder motor (186 hp, 221 lb-ft) and a seven-speed, dual-clutch intelligent transmission. These models have a gasoline economy side over their all-wheel-drive friends to the song of 2 mpg (EPA combined). All-wheel-drive variations (Quattro) have a similar motor, but a few improvements raise its gumption to a better quality 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. Probably paradoxically, Quattro alternatives have one less gear in their dual-clutch computerized signals than do front-wheel-drive models. Regardless of this and their certainly heavier weights (160 pounds for sedans; 200 pounds for convertibles), Quattro types handily out-accelerate their front-wheel-drive counterparts. Number information gearbox is available on any quality of 2018 Audi A3 Lease.
The base Premium is well-equipped, sporting features such as for instance leather upholstery, a copy camera, dual-zone weather control, a panoramic sunroof, ahead collision caution and automated crisis braking, a 10-speaker audio system, hot entrance chairs and an eight-way power driver chair with energy back adjustment. Cabriolet designs are similar but have a power-folding smooth prime, a nine-speaker sound system and six-way energy top chairs with lumbar.
For a reasonable sum, Premium Plus gives a mix of cosmetics and beneficial comfort functions such as for instance 18-inch wheels, an eight-way power individual seat with lumbar, blind-spot checking with back cross-traffic alert, keyless ignition and entry, parking sensors, and Apple CarPlay and Android Vehicle smartphone integration. These designs also get a dose of outer look items such as changed bumpers, part sill extensions and illuminated aluminum door sills.
The Prestige goes all out with power-folding mirrors, LED headlights, an extended Virtual Cockpit instrument cluster, navigation, a Return & Olufsen premium speakers and a bunch of driver guidance characteristics (including lane departure warning, flexible sail, automated high beams).
A number of the characteristics located on the Premium Plus and Prestige could be put into the reduced trims as options.
With 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, the 2018 Audi A3 Lease offers lots of capacity to accelerate with purpose yet still returns excellent gasoline economy figures. Handling is noteworthy, with an immediate sense and cornering that's equally enjoyable and reassuring.
There's some hesitation from a standstill, but when below way drive from the turbocharged four-cylinder is impressive, reaching 60 mph in an impressively rapid 5.8 seconds. The all-wheel-drive program gives plenty of grip.
About town the 2018 Audi A3 Lease has natural-feeling brake weighting and responses. Easy to modulate. In worry braking, there is small nosedive and the automobile tracks straight. It required 118 feet to avoid from 60 mph, which is better than average for the school and remained consistent after several runs.
Steering work is mild, making parking ton maneuvers simple, but nonetheless conveys primary feedback to the driver. On turning highways, it's incredibly precise and more instills confidence.
The 2018 Audi A3 Lease feels mild and running in curves. The AWD program makes the absolute most of available hold, and the well-tuned suspension gives it a healthy, encouraging feel.
The 2018 Audi A3 Lease is straightforward to move in limited spots thanks to its gentle steering. It tackles the daily commute with ease.
This really is the kind of front-seat ease we've come to anticipate from greater and higher priced sedans. More over, the 2018 Audi A3 Lease handles that without compromising performance. A corner chairs are crowded, but no more than these of different cars in this class.
chair comfort
Leading seats are large and relaxed even after several hours of touring. They do absence some area bolstering, though. Rear-seat place is restrictive and ideal for smaller passengers only.
journey comfort
The 2018 Audi A3 Lease features a compliant drive that smooths around most street imperfections. Bigger undulations may cause some jostling, though.
noise & shake
Path and breeze sound is detectable on the freeway, but it's never unpleasant, actually on hard pavement. There is some clattering engine noise at startup, but the lazy rapidly smooths out.
Like all audi, the 2018 Audi A3 Lease sports an austere interior style, and that's a great thing. Classy metal features, exceptional products quality and a nice features number get this to car feel anything but entry-level.
simplicity of use
The regulates are placed exactly where you'd expect them, especially the MMI controller with handwriting recognition. The key screen increases from the splash for easy watching, with sharp design and user-friendly menus.
getting in/getting out
Front-seat access is simple even in restricted places thanks to a high opening and opportunities that aren't too long. Back access is distinctly less simple, requesting some rotating and stooping to get in.
operating position
Leading seats are large enough for taller guests, but the rear chairs absence the head- and legroom necessary for the typical adult. Only small persons will be comfortable right back there.
Forward presence is very good thanks to thin top pillars — a scarcity in contemporary cars. Back exposure is sufficient that you have access to by without the recommended backup camera.
All inside areas in the 2018 Audi A3 Lease are effectively textured for an upscale search and feel. Every button and change has a definite weight and click, and the vehicle only thinks sturdy.

The Colorado Open Records Act is based on the premise that public documents – that is, those created by public bodies for their official business – are, by and large, available for public inspection. There is a lengthy and justifiable list of exceptions to that premise, of course, which includes personnel files, medical and mental-health data, trade secrets and library records, among many others, but the presumption of openness rules the day. The underlying notion that the public has a right to see most public documents is solid in Colorado, and the state Supreme Court recently bolstered that foundation with its ruling that those who successfully sue to access public records are entitled to recover attorneys fees. It was a sound decision.
The ruling, which upheld an appeals court reversal of a lower court's finding, means that the Colorado Republican Party can collect attorney's fees for its successful efforts to gain access to public surveys that several Democratic state legislators had refused to surrender when asked. A lower court had found that because the Colorado Open Records Act did not require lawmakers to hand over the whole list of documents the Republican Party had requested, the party had not fully prevailed and therefore was not entitled to legal fees. The appeals court and the Colorado Supreme Court found otherwise, affirming the Open Records Act's intent, as well as underscoring statutory commitment to supporting access to public documents. In short, plaintiffs are entitled to have covered the costs of insisting on access to whatever documents a court determines to be public.
It should be thus. While there are certainly legitimate exceptions to the Open Records Act, they are clear and limited. Those documents not exempted from public access, then, should be readily shared, and the law should not favor public officials who attempt to withhold public documents. The Colorado Legislature said as much in 2001 when it shored up the Open Records Act to require court costs and fees be paid for prevailing plaintiffs seeking access to documents. Previously, the law had left it up to the courts to decide whether to make the individual holding the documents in question pay for plaintiffs' fees. The law is now quite clear: "Unless the court finds that the denial of the right of inspection was proper, it shall order the custodian to permit such inspection and shall award court costs and reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing applicant in an amount to be determined by the court."
The question before the Colorado Supreme Court, then, was the extent to which a plaintiff must "prevail" in order to be reimbursed for fees. In its 5-2 decision, the court found itself on the side of common sense: Those matters in which a plaintiff prevails are those for which his costs should be covered. Given the clear nature of the Colorado Open Records Act and its exemptions, this was a rather simple decision. It was the right one that affirms access to the public's documents, and encourages the public to push for that access under the law's provisions.
