in addition to the on-demand, 24-hour news network, cbsnews.com will also jump into the blog arena by offering "public eye." public eye will be a blog dedicated to providing "greater openness and transparency into the newsgathering process," featuring "a candid and robust dialogue between cbs news journalists and the public." the website's homepage will also be redesigned to include what cbs is calling "the eyebox," an on-page video player that will offer enhanced/improved streaming video of over 25,000 clips in both real video and windows media formats.
this announcement also marks a shift in how cbs will operate cbs news and cbsnews.com. the company now plans to show true integration between the two entities in order to offer 24-hour news delivery.

brian's opinion
rather than take the same leap fox and nbc did into cable, cbs news is making a very strategic move by offering 24-hour news on the internet. cbs news probably believes that the cable news market is overcrowded as it is, so instead of trying to compete in the cable news market, cbs sees an opportunity to take the upper hand when it comes to offering news via the internet.
the internet has drastically changed how people get news. gone are the days when people waited until the evening news appeared on their television for the news of the day; now people get their news from the internet or cable tv. more and more people are relying on the internet instead of tv, which can't be good for the longevity of the cable news networks. that's probably the very reason why cbs decided to bypass that medium for the internet.

|cable monopolies are new gate-keepers (11:34am est wed jul 13 2005)
last year g4 channel bought techtv. did they want techtv's programming? i guess not since they killed it all. what they wanted was that channel on the cable systems that carried techtv and did not carry g4.
cbs looking for a news channel probably faces the same problem. as viacom owns them though, you'd think they would be able to convert one of their existing channels to news.
pcworld also offers the 'digital duo' tv series in downloadable flash segments. just watch the segments you are interested in, when you want. i like that.
another benefit cbs could gain from this is fine-tuning their broadcast news. they will know what topics people want to hear about by how many d/ls they get.
next up: video podcasting so you can watch wherever. when is apple gonna come out with the video ipod again?

how do they plan on making money on the internet? advertising is one possibility but i can't imagine it will bring in the big bucks like tv. and if they insist on injecting their political viewpoint into the news, they probably won't enjoy any more success on the net than they had on tv. – by jqp

|drudge is not a journalist (12:37pm est wed jul 13 2005)
take it from a former journalist, drudge is good for gossip (same for wonkette), but not real news. drudge and his ilk are more like newspaper columnist than a journalist.
cbs, like all new organizations is owned by very conservative corporations. many times people confuse open-minded with liberal, which is very easy to do. even if they are liberal, most journalists really work to present both sides (with fox being the exception).
most of the problems with news today is that corporate owner has cut back on news staffs to the point that they can't really do their job anymore. i was on the newspaper side, but it is the same there. except for a few stars, news reporters get paid very little compared to people in other professions, so you don't always get the cream of the crop. those low salaries are fine when you are young and just out of college, but when you want to have a house/family/kids, you have to leave news for something that pays decent.
while i see this move as great for cbs, i don't have confidence that they will hire and pay the staff needed to feed the maw of 24-hour, online news. the only news organization that really has the staff to do a good job anymore is the bbc.

|open-minded vs liberal (1:06pm est wed jul 13 2005)
yes, it's real easy to confuse the two, particularly when "open minded" journalists repeatedly and predicatably err toward the liberal side of things. viacom, the parent company of cbs, also runs a publishing company which tends toward liberal authors and topics and apparently does quite well at it. these authors are sometimes "interviewed" by cbs news. it's just good business. – by jqp

|open-minded vs liberal part 1 (2:01pm est wed jul 13 2005)
well, i am open-minded enough to note that many reporters do tend to be politically liberal, though there are historical reasons for this.
up until 100 years or so ago, most or all newspapers were very politically partisan. if you look at most newspapers incorporations papers, they say something like "a newspaper with a republican (or democratic or whig) orientation" however, like any group of powerful companies they starting abusing this and there was a backlash.
this was due to partisianship getting so bad that people could not trust what was printed. newspapers fanned the spanish-american war to increase circulation.

seems to be pejorative and insulting when thrown at someone as a remark. i remember the history lessons when we were taught of 'laisse-faire'.
how things come around that you find it deep within your hearts to be scared of and villify anyone who holds a progressive attitude to sorting the worlds ills, contrasting to your consume-all and fuck everyone else attitude.
do you really wonder why as a nation you are hated so much. are you unable to comprehend the alternative point of view that you actually have to consider the other person first?

now if cbs can strike up deals with the major isps to make the internet connection to their site free, they would have an advantage in online content.
it would be nice to plug my computer into a wall or wireless channel that i do not have internet service and be able to get the latest news from an unbias source.

|liberalism = socialism/communism (4:38pm est wed jul 13 2005)
their not open minded in the least. in their view of the world those that have the little (r) behind their names are evil nazi's and those that have a little (d) behind their name are intellegent, pacifist, ghandi types.
the truth is the liberals are pretty much just anti-right wing. the notion that they more resemble free thinkers than the southern baptist, anti-darwin, faith healer crowd that they despise is total crap. they are just left wing ditto heads -vs- right wing ditto heads.
extreme conservatives aren't much different. they are about as conservative as atilla the hun.
extremist of any kind rarely resemble free thinkers. so don't float that vocabulary crap about what the words liberal and conservitive say in the dictionary. niether party holds true to those definitions what so ever.
i dislike extreme conservitives, but i absolutely hate liberals of any kind. at least extreme conservatives understand the concept of pulling their own wieght and providing for themselves. even though those idiots don't believe in evolution (a.k.a survival of the fittest) they are actually pretty good practitioners of it. unlike liberals, about the only hand outs they lobby for are tax breaks and fewer laws.
liberals while they believe every one should be taught darwin's theory in school are absolutly lousy practitioners of it. they want to slow human evolution to a stand still by punishing the over acheivers by forcing them to share exorbitent amounts of their earned resources with the under acheivers. thereby making everyone in the group pretty much the same. this is pretty much the exact opposite of letting evolution run it's course.
this society or community based idiology is called socialism or communism depending on how far you take this group property concept. socialist or communist is what most hard core leftist are called outside of the usa. but here we just called them liberals.

|dynamic tension (5:20pm est wed jul 13 2005)
let's see the conservatives are so "stand up and do it ourselves" that the u.s. government has to liberally hand out tax breaks and subsidizes the big corporate interests that are so allied with conservatives. hmm, doesn't sound very independent to me. remember the enron fiasco was partially because they pushed through congress a special bill relaxing some rules they were under.
the real reason the u.s. has survived as long as it has it because it has a moderate middle class that mediated between the hot heads on the liberal and conservative sides. as that middle cushion, politically and financially, continues to erode, woe betide our children and their children.
– by moderate
|re moderate (6:33pm est wed jul 13 2005)
regarding tax breaks for big corporate interests, the conservative perspective (for which there is considerable justification) is that taxing corporate profits is effectively double taxation. the corporation is taxed and then the indiviudal shareholders are taxed again on the very same profits. reducing the level of double taxation doesn't exactly qualify as a handout. if you want to be a true moderate, you need to look beyond the rhetoric of both sides. – by jqp

monday the wallstreet journal had a article on world unemployment rates. the world wide average was ~25% with africa and south america having more like 50%. next was the europeans all with double digits, france alone had 24%. in the usa we had a maximum of ~7% under clinton, a minumum of just under 5% also under clinton, and a current rate of ~5 1/2%. our dollar is the most stable currency on the planet and everyone knows how to convert theirs to it's dollar equivalent. i can't even identfy your currency, it means nothing outside of your country.
most of the people loosing their jobs are due to asians, good for them, proof that capitalism works even when practiced by socialist. percentage wise you psuedo-socialist are loosing a lot more business to those industeous asians than we are.
illegal aliens barely even make a blip in our ~$11 trillon dollar a year economy, they make up less than 1% of our population and they are grossly underpaid, so their contribution is even smaller than 1%.
i don't know where you get you dumbass notion why we're hated so much. we make up less than 4% of this planet's popultion and we control nearly 50% of it's wealth. we are involved in a major way with nearly every industry on this planet. in many cases we dominate those industries (i.e. the computer you're typing on wasn't designed or biult in europe).

it would be a vast improvement if the modern fourth estate/fifth column mainstream media were to go back to just "yellow journalism" rather than the boldfaced partisan hackery you and your pathetic pretend profession have served for the last four decades.
reporters are idiots and liars. doubt me? talk to one. then watch him misquote you. it's goddamn amazing. everything gets twisted to fit their prejudice.
it doesn't matter if they bring a tape recorder or camera. if you disagree with the reporter's prejudice, well that's what editing is for!
now there are blogs aplenty. people who have been misquoted and otherwise misrepresented can speak directly to the news consumers. no misreporters, no editors.

Accelenation take a look at the Xabre 600 and compare its performance to that of a RADEON 8500 card.
The Xmintaor II drivers have the Vertexlizer Engine, where the processing functions are distributed between the GPU and the CPU, that is, some work is done in software. SiS also claims that the MotionFixing Video technology works on providing clearer MPEGs, AVI and captured video thanks to a 4-field per pixel motion detection de-interlace solution.

text: How to Install a Garbage Disposer Learn all about removing the old unit, installing the new one, and hooking up the electrical and plumbing Relatively unused and even somewhat unknown in the rest of the world, garbage disposers are a nearly universal feature of the American kitchen. Installing one is a fairly straightforward effort, but not without its difficulties. In this tutorial, we'll be covering the basics of both common mounting systems, and offering some helpful tips to ensure a successful installation. Always be sure to thoroughly read the installation instructions for your particular unit before getting to work: while most disposers are installed in the same basic way, your model may have unique and important steps not covered in an overview like this. There are two popular mount systems used for garbage disposers: the standard 3-bolt mount (if you've had a disposer installed for some time, it's probably mounted this way) and a newer system called the "EZ Mount" by Waste King (Insinkerator has a similar system called "Quick Lock"). Each accomplish the same task with little difference, aside from their installation. As the name implies, the EZ Mount mechanism is intended to be easier to deal with when installing or repairing a unit. You'll want to have the following at the ready: Self-Service Wrench (aka Allen Wrench, Hex Key) Water Pump Pliers (aka Channellock Pliers) Screwdrivers - Flat and Phillips-Head Plumber's Putty or Silicone Sealant Hacksaw or Pipe Cutter Wire Strippers Wire Nuts Voltage Detector Bucket Strain Relief Bushing (for power cable) 1-1/2" Slip Joint Nuts & Washers (for connecting disposer to drain plumbing) It's a good idea to take the dimensions of the new disposer and measure under the sink before you begin - you'll want to know if the existing drain pipes can be reused or modified to accommodate the new setup, or if you'll have to replace them. You also want to see if the tools you have will work in what could become an even more confined space - will you need something with a shorter handle, smaller jaws, or...? Removing an Existing Disposer Before doing anything, make sure the power to the disposer is OFF. Plug-in models can simply be unplugged, but a hardwired unit must have the appropriate circuit breaker turned off. Confirm the electricity is off with a voltage detector. Begin by disconnecting the drain pipe connected to the disposal. This should be a simple matter of unscrewing the nuts on the slip joints at either end (tongue and groove pliers may come in handy). Place a bucket underneath to catch any residual water. If a dishwasher is connected to the disposer, disconnect that hose as well. Pro Tip: With the sink trap open and accessible, there's no better time to give the drain line a quick augering to clear out any buildup that's present - one less thing to worry about later! Did your old disposer come with a "self service wrench" (aka hex key/allen wrench)? Do you still have it? It's a handy tool not only for turning the motor when it's stuck, but also for mounting/unmounting the disposer. Whatever the mounting system, you'll see a large metal ring with a few curled ends or ears around it (some are curled down, some up) - this is the mount ring. To get the necessary leverage to free the disposer from the mount, you can insert the self-service wrench - or a screwdriver - into one of these ears and turn clockwise. Another screwdriver in the ear opposite can provide more leverage for units that are really on there, or you can use a hammer to tap the screwdriver. Pro Tip: It's helpful to have something under the disposer at this point, or someone holding it: older models can be quite heavy, and with a maximum of one hand available, it can be difficult to free it from the mount while preventing a free fall, which can damage other things under the sink, or cause injury. An empty bucket, a bottle jack, a stack of books - anything can help. With 3-bolt units, the lower mount ring will come off the rest of the mounting hardware with the disposer; on EZ Mount units, only the disposer will come off - the unit is turned until the black tab (or "hopper projection") at the top of the unit is no longer secured in the smallest, leftmost end of the groove in the metal mount ring. Note: When replacing an old disposer, we recommend replacing the old mounting hardware as well, even when the mounting systems are the same. While it is more work to remove the old flange and mount, doing so will avoid any potential compatibility issues or problems resulting from wear and tear. It also gives you the chance to put some fresh putty down, which can dry out over time and compromise the flange seal. EZ Mount Hardware Removal Once the disposer is off, the mount ring can be removed by first pulling out the rubber "cushion mount" found inside of it - you should be able to simply reach into the mount ring and grasp the rubber piece with your fingers. The mount ring will fall, giving you access to the rest of the assembly. Unscrew the plastic support ring and remove the fiber gasket to free up the flange, which you can now push up and out through the sink. A gasket may need to be gently pried off the sink, or there may be old putty. Clean the inside and underside of the sink, and you're ready for a new disposer! 3-Bolt Mount Hardware Removal Loosen the screws on the upper mount ring (flange mount) enough to push the ring up a bit - you'll see a small "snap ring" around the bottom of the sink flange (this ring keeps the mount ring from sliding off the flange). Use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry the ring off, and remove the mount ring and upper "protector" ring against the sink. The flange (and associated gasket, if applicable) can now be popped out of the drain hole. Clean the area for the new unit. Electrical Connections Always check for power with a voltage detector before dealing with electrical components! If your new disposer doesn't come out of the box with an attached cord and plug, you'll need to attach one, or hardwire the unit directly into the electrical system. Chances are you can reuse the existing power cord - check the manufacturer's specifications to be certain. Power Cord To remove the cord from the old disposer, use a screwdriver to remove the plate covering the electrical connections at the bottom of the unit. Disconnect the wire nuts and pull the cord through the cover plate hole. To connect a power cord to the new unit, remove the electrical cover plate on the bottom of the disposer and join the colored wires found inside with their counterparts in the cord, using wire nuts. The green ground wire is looped under the green screw on the unit. This can be done at any point prior to installation. Pro Tip: The area under the sink is often reserved for cleaning products and other things, making it all too easy for the disposer power cord to be accidentally yanked. A strain relief bushing/clamp will keep the power cord safe and secure where it exits the disposer. These inexpensive fittings are easily found at any home improvement store, if one is not included with your unit. Hardwired If the new disposer is to be hardwired, you can simply connect the existing cable coming out of the junction box to the wires found inside the disposer. Because the cable is already secured and connected in the box, this step is best accomplished just before mounting the disposer. If a cable has not yet been run to the junction box, you can make the connections within the new disposer any time beforehand, joining the cable to the wires in the box just before or just after mounting the disposer. Garbage disposers need to have a dedicated 120 volt, 20 amp circuit. Do NOT use a shared outlet or circuit. Consult with an electrician before installation if there's any question about the electrical setup in your kitchen. Installing the New Unit Note: The disposer outlet must be above the drain line coming out of the wall. If it isn't, you'll need to either choose a smaller disposer, or modify the plumbing to accommodate the new setup. If your sink has never had a disposer, you'll need to first replace the flange. Pliers can help loosen the slip joints on the tailpiece and trap, as well as the locknut holding the flange. Once the drain pipes and flange have been removed and the area is clean, you're ready to install the new disposer flange. Your disposer may come with a thin rubber gasket to be used under the sink flange, instead of the traditional plumber's putty as outlined below. Both will create a good seal (though the gasket may result in small amounts of water collecting around the flange), and what's used is largely a matter of preference. Some even prefer silicone sealant, though it's more difficult to remove. Replacing the Flange Roll a 1/2" diameter length of putty, long enough to wrap around the underside of the new flange (or an adequate amount of silicone, if you're so inclined). If you're a stickler, now's the time to decide on the proper placement of the flange - if there are any logos or text, where do you want them? Press the flange firmly into the drain hole of the sink. Because you're going to be attaching the mounting hardware to the flange, you need to have something weighting it down from inside the sink to keep it in place. Unless you have someone helping, the most convenient option is to place either the old or new disposer in there (a towel underneath will keep the sink safe from scratches). Pro Tip: If you're going to be draining a dishwasher through the unit, now is the best time to remove the knockout plug inside the dishwasher inlet. Use a hammer to tap a screwdriver into the inlet until the plug is broken off; retrieve the small piece of plastic from inside the disposer. This is also the ideal time to make the connections for a hardwired unit with a pre-existing junction box. With the flange in place and weighted down, it's time to move under the sink. The mounting assembly components are a bit different between the two mounting systems, but the process is largely the same. EZ Mount Installation The first thing to go on the flange is the fiber gasket, which helps protect the sink and minimize vibration. This is followed by the support ring, which threads on. Next comes the metal mount ring and rubber cushion mount (or cushion ring). Their correct orientation will be labeled. These two pieces have complementary grooves that when correctly fitted together hold the mount ring and disposal in place. Holding the mount ring at the topmost part of the flange, work the cushion mount over the bottom of the flange, making sure that the rubber of the cushion mount is fully and firmly locking into the groove on the bottom of the flange. When installed correctly, you should not be able to remove the cushion mount without significant stretching and pulling, and the mount ring should rotate freely around it. If you haven't connected the power cord yet, now's your last chance before the unit is mounted. Attach the discharge elbow that came with the new unit. These are usually secured with a metal plate and a few screws (though sometimes it's only a clamp), and should face straight down. Don't forget the rubber gasket between the disposer and the elbow! At the top of an EZ Mount disposer, you'll see a black, usually plastic ring with a small tab protruding. This tab is called the "hopper projection", and it's the thing that will keep the disposer on the mount. Line up the projection with the groove in the mount ring and push the disposer up into the mount. Supporting the disposer, turn the mount ring so that the hopper projection moves from the larger to the smaller end of the mount ring groove. Use the self-service wrench or a screwdriver to gain the necessary leverage to fully secure the projection in the small end of the groove. 3-Bolt Mount Installation With the 3-bolt mount, you'll want the fiber gasket first on the flange, followed by the protector or support ring, followed by the mount ring (the one with the bolts). Loosen the bolts as much as possible so that you can slide the mount ring up the flange. This makes it easier to attach the snap ring (a small ring that fits into a groove on the bottom of the flange) which is what holds the mount in place. Hold the ring around the flange as best you can with one hand, and use a screwdriver in the other to pry the ring apart just enough to get it over the flange and into the groove. With the snap ring in place, tighten the bolts evenly. Attach the rubber gasket and discharge elbow to the disposer using the plate and screws (or clamp) provided. On the mount ring, you'll notice 3 tabs extending out between the bolts; these will engage with grooves at the top of the disposer. Line the grooves up with the tabs, and turn the disposer until it's firmly locked in place. The self-service wrench and/or a screwdriver in the curled ears of the mount ring will provide the leverage to fully tighten the unit in place. Pro Tip: For heavy disposers or awkward installations, try using your knee, a jack, or an upside-down bucket to help support the disposer while mounting. Plumbing Connections Once the new unit is firmly mounted under the sink, it's time to hook up the plumbing, a process that's largely the same whatever mount is used. The specifics - where you start, how much you cut, and how it's all arranged - are unique to each installation. If you're replacing an old unit, there's a good chance the existing drain pipes can be used. As we mentioned at the beginning, it's nice to get everything figured out beforehand to save a rushed trip to the store. You'll find out immediately upon mounting if the existing pipes are sufficient. We'll assume that you have the drain line stub-out sticking out of the wall, to which a length of pipe is connected. That pipe joins up with the p-trap. Ideally, the drain connections will be made using 1-1/2" slip joint nuts and washers, which allow for easy removal. To assemble the slip joint, all you have to do is slide the nut onto the pipe (with threads facing the end of the pipe), followed by the tapered washer (you'll want the smaller, tapered end to face away from the nut). Hand-tighten, but wait until you're sure everything is lined up perfect before further tightening with pliers. Note: 3-Bolt Mount disposers can be rotated to meet up with plumbing pipes; EZ Mount disposers are rotated via the mount ring, not the disposer (turning the disposer can dismount it!) With a single bowl sink, all you should need to do is place the slip joint nut and washer on the disposer's discharge elbow to connect it directly to the trap. Should the elbow be too long for the trap, it can be cut to size. Double Bowl Plumbing For double-bowl sinks, the best way to go about things is to use a continuous waste disposer kit consisting of a discharge tube, baffle tee, and tailpiece. Such kits direct both drains to a single trap. Depending on the location of the stub out, you'll need either an end outlet or center outlet kit. The bowl without the disposer will need a tailpiece. Remove the large nut under the sink that holds the basket strainer/flange in place on the drain. Place a washer (included with the kit) in the nut, stick the tailpiece through it, and connect the assembly back onto the drain. Pro Tip: If the nut on the drain is stuck and turns the entire assembly when you're trying to loosen it, stick the handles of your pliers into the drain from inside the sink: this will lock the drain in place, allowing you to remove the nut. Should the sink strainer turn during any of this, it should be reset with fresh putty or silicone to prevent future leaks. The tee connects to the above tailpiece, and is then joined to the trap. Depending on the height of the trap and the length of the disposer discharge, some cutting may be needed to get everything lined up. The discharge tube included in the disposer kit will be attached to the disposer using the plate, gasket and screws originally intended for the disposer discharge elbow. If your kit only includes a waste arm, it is possible - though not recommended - to connect this to the disposer discharge elbow using a slip joint. The consecutive 90° turns in such a setup can lead to improper drainage. Depending on the length of the waste arm, you may be able to cut off its elbow and use the remainder as a straight discharge tube. Once secured to the disposer, the discharge tube will be connected to the baffle tee using a slip joint nut and washer. If the tube is too long, use your preferred cutting tool to get it to size. The discharge tube running between the disposer and tee should be sloped at least 1/4" toward the tee to ensure proper drainage. It may be possible to move the tee down on the tailpiece, depending on the length of the latter. To help avoid blockages within the tee (a consequence of the baffle inside), some plumbers will connect the disposer discharge directly to the tee of an end-outlet continuous waste, rather than use the method laid out above. Because the baffle effectively halves the interior diameter of the tee, it's easy for waste from the disposer to clog it up. This is especially true when the waste must travel horizontally (down the arm) and then change direction to fall down the trap. Having the disposer discharge straight down into the tee allows for a direct line to the trap that's relatively friction-free. In this set-up, a waste arm runs between the other sink drain and the tee. An alternative discharge method calls for a slip joint extension. Depending on the height of the drain line stub out coming out of the wall, it may be necessary to rotate the disposer's discharge elbow to a flat or horizontal position to maintain its position above the drain line. Should this be needed, a slip joint extension can be used to create a straight connection from the disposer to the tee opposite, maintaining the height of the disposer discharge above the house drain line without having to open up the wall. Once everything looks like it's going to fit together, you can go ahead and fully tighten the slip joints with your pliers. If connecting a dishwasher to the disposer, secure the dishwasher's drain hose to the inlet on the disposer. Test the installation by plugging the drain(s), filling the bowl(s) with water, and letting it all drain out at once - the large amount of water and pressure should expose any weak spots around the flange and along the plumbing (remind yourself to regularly check under the sink over the following weeks to ensure no leaks or other problems are evading detection). Plug the unit in, turn the breaker on, and dispose of some garbage! Ready to purchase and install your new garbage disposal? We've got a great selection!

Buying a bicycle is a great investment and an excellent way to save money as a student, not only will it get you from A to B for free, but it will keep you fit and healthy too!
Buying the Bike
When purchasing a bike, you need to think about its purpose, as there are different types of bike frames and wheels to cater for different riding preferences. Will you be riding long distances, in the rain or off track? Or is it for casual rides in the park or to a friends place. A great place to start is to find your local bike shop and chat to the staff about which type of bike will best serve your needs.
New vs. Used
Unless you're lucky enough to borrow a bike from a friend, the next decision you will need to make is whether to buy a new or used bike. Talk to the cycling society at your university; they're sure to have some good tips on where and how to buy a bike.
If you plan to give the bike a lot of use then buying a new bike is a good investment, remember you can always sell it on later. But avoid department store bikes. Brands such as Cyclops, Huffy, Royce Union and Triax may appear to be great value for money but the trouble they will cause and cost you later is not worth the initial savings.
If the bike is for short-term use, only it is probably a good idea to buy second hand. Some good places to shop for used bikes are the trading post, gumtree and local markets. Some bike shops even offer a buyback scheme, which is perfect for exchange students, and many community bike clubs are starting to offer free repair and maintenance classes.
Road Safety
Before you get riding, you'll need to make sure you have a helmet, as it's illegal to ride without one in Australia, a bell, red rear reflector and white front reflector. Also, you will want a secure bike lock for safe parking and front and rear lights for nighttime rides. Purchasing a bike pump to keep your wheels in shape and some lubricant to oil the chains regularly will also come in handy and extend the life of your bike. Another idea is to pump up your tires at the nearest petrol station. Check your local council's website for information about road rules, bike lessons and maintenance help.

Bernard J. Dolan
Co. of Bethel.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal and the state Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Gina McCarthy announced the settlement today.
Davis Tree and Logging leased land from Dolan's company, authorities said, and without Dolan's permission, dumped tree stumps and logs on the property at Grassy Plain Road for two years, starting in 1998.
Blumenthal sued Davis and his company on behalf of the DEP.
"This company turned its leased property into a sea of stumps, logs and debris, showing contempt for our environmental laws," Blumenthal said.

The new year is bringing a new milestone for the DeSales Free Clinic. The student-run, student-funded clinic, which provides free care to homeless men at the Allentown Rescue Mission, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a gratitude dinner at the Allentown Brew Works on February 8 for volunteers, community partners, and other supporters.
The clinic, which officially opened on January 18, 2007, is a passion project for Corinne Feldman, assistant professor in the Physician Assistant Program, and her husband, Brett. They founded it while Brett was still a student in the PA program. "During my PA school education, we had to spend time in a homeless shelter providing free medical care and I loved it," Feldman says. "When we moved here, I wanted to look for a place to continue that. Our dinner table is basically where it was born. We always joke that it was our first child."
The clinic provides free primary and acute care, laboratory services, and medications to men at the rescue mission. All first and second year physician assistant graduate students are required to participate. Feldman calls it a transformative experience for them. "I think it's transformational because it takes what they think they know about themselves and it forces them to apply it to real patients who have real, complex social issues and real, complex medical issues," she says. "They are forced to decide who they are going to be, how they are going to handle these difficult situations."
Most schools do not require graduate students to participate in a free clinic setting. But DeSales is different. Feldman admits not every student embraces the idea, at least not right away. But in the end, she says those students often experience the most growth and become the clinic's biggest advocates. "I think that's really powerful to force students onto someone else's turf, someone else's comfort zone. It's very clear that it's not about you the student."
The clinic is one of the reasons Louise Marquino applied to the PA program. During her first year at the mission, she was pushed out of her comfort zone and had to ask questions that many students no doubt dread. Important questions about a patient's history, any past drug use, or any behavioral or psychological issues. Questions that are awkward, uncomfortable, or, to some, offensive.
But after working with the men, those difficult questions became easier. "I became very comfortable asking these types of questions and learned to do it in a very respectful, professional manner, which is an important skill to have no matter what area of medicine or what population of patients you may be working with," she says.
Working with the homeless has also taught Marquino to empathize with patients. "You never know exactly what a patient is up against," she says. "In order to treat them and provide good care, you have to, as our clinic director Corinne Feldman told us, 'suspend your reality' and work to understand the reality they live in and understand what barriers they face so that you can work with them and actually provide realistic and manageable treatment plans given their unique situations."
It's estimated that about 10,000 people experience homelessness in the Lehigh Valley every year. Jim Byrnes, CEO of the Allentown Rescue Mission, calls the free clinic a medical lifeline for homeless men. "Without the quality care these volunteer doctors, faculty, and physician assistants provide, well over 1,000 men served by the mission would be deprived of the essential treatments they need," he says. "No client is ever turned away and there's never a charge. This clinic, without question, is one of our greatest blessings."
The clinic isn't just about providing free, quality care. It's a learning experience that Feldman hopes will stay with students long after they leave DeSales. And she's always happy to lend a helping hand to keep that spirit of giving alive. A former student, who works at a hospital in Philadelphia, recently contacted Feldman for advice. The alumna passes homeless people on her way into work, and because of her training at DeSales, felt she needed to do more. She came up with a resource guide to help the homeless and handed it out in her hospital's emergency room. That, Feldman says, is what it's all about.
Marquino also sees herself doing something more, working with a non-profit medical organization one day. She'll carry with her the stories of the men she's treated at the free clinic, like the one who received a dental implant to fill in a missing front tooth. "He was so happy to have a new smile he couldn't stop grinning and he was so appreciative and just exuding confidence," Marquino says. She's been rooting for his and the other men's success and will continue to do so long after she leaves DeSales.
Going forward, Feldman would like to see the clinic offer more extensive dental care and mental health services on site. She also envisions partnering with the PT Program at DeSales to offer ongoing physical therapy. Ten years ago, she considered the DeSales Free Clinic a crazy idea. Today, she sees the ripple effect that it has produced. Not only has it inspired students, it's also inspired the Feldmans to start the Lehigh Valley Health Network Street Medicine Program, which takes health care to the homeless, whether it's in encampments, under bridges, or in alleyways.
Feldman writes about lessons from the street on her blog Streetmedicinelehighvalley.org. She also oversees DeSales' work at the Truth Home, a residential home for victims of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Feldman credits students for their kindness and compassion and the University for its continued support and for staying true to its mission of Christian humanism. "We've had so much support from Father O'Connor [DeSales president], Dr. Walton [provost and vice president of academic affairs], and Father Leonard [dean of graduate education] to really challenge what we're capable of as a university," she says. "To me, there is no better description of Christian humanism than the DeSales Free Clinic."

There`s going to be a parade in this town, one everyone agrees is long overdue.
It`s a parade for the kid down the block who never got a brass band when he came home from war. It`s for the Vietnam veteran.
There`s going to be a parade in this town, one everyone agrees is long overdue.
It`s a parade for the kid down the block who never got a brass band when he came home from war. It`s for the Vietnam veteran.
It`s for all 250,000 of them who went to Vietnam from the neighborhoods of Chicago and the rest of Illinois. It`s for all the veterans of the Midwest, which supplied the bulk of the 3.5 million young men who went off to that war.
It`s for the common soldier--the grunt from every walk of life. The kid who huddled at a fire base for 11 months and the kid who served as cook. The fighter pilot. The support trooper. The platoon medic. The guy who drove a truck, fixed the planes, cleared out jungle or typed up reports in a Quonset hut. It`s for the radio man, the colonel`s aide and the Navy man on a river patrol boat. It`s for the doctors who stitched them up and for the nurses who healed them--then gave them the smile they needed.
Chicago`s parade is for all of them. Its slogan is ``Welcome Home.`` And though veterans now are balding and turning gray--though they`ve gained weight, gotten mortgages and had kids of their own--it`ll be the first real welcome they`ve ever received.
Up on the 25th floor of the Xerox Building, 55 W. Monroe St., where people work hard to make money, there is a small group of men and women working hard without pay. They are volunteer veterans working to put the Vietnam veterans parade together.
``We are pinching and scraping, that`s how we are getting by,`` said Roger McGill, who directs the program committee for the Chicago Vietnam Veterans Parade Committee.
``We need money real bad,`` said Jeff Harvey, a disabled veteran running the parade office in space donated by Jefferies & Co. ``We are running out of thread. We`ve got a great parade planned. Four times greater than the New York parade. But time is running out on us. Now we need to have some donations start coming in. We need seed money to keep this thing going.``
The parade is set for 10 a.m. June 13, with four days of festivities scheduled around it. Gen. William Westmoreland, former commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam, has agreed to come. Eighty Medal of Honor winners from around the country are expected to attend. Bob Hope and Martha Ray have been invited. There will be music in Grant Park, a gala banquet and a Vietnam art exhibit. Disabled veterans will lead the parade, which will start at Olive Park, named after Chicagoan Milton Olive, who was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for service in Vietnam.
More than 6,000 mailings have been sent to veterans organizations, clinics, offices and Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion posts around the country. ``Right now,`` Harvey said, ``people are starting to call us saying, `We`re coming and we`re bringing 45 or 50 guys.` ``
Julio Gonzales, another Vietnam veteran volunteer, said, ``The city is going to be surprised at the outpouring. I mean it. There`s a huge Vietnam veteran population just in the tristate area alone. This is going to be one hell of a party. This is going to be one hell of a reunion.``
As optimistic as members of the Chicago Vietnam Veterans Parade Committee are about the parade, they are facing serious financial challenges. Several small fundraisers bringing in about $2,000 each have kept them going since last October and paid most of their bills. But they are down to their last $1,000. Money from corporations they have approached has not yet materialized. And seed money allocated last summer by the Chicago City Council hasn`t arrived at all.
According to Tom Stack, chairman of the veterans parade committee, the city council pledged $25,000 in seed money from the 1985 budget to be turned over to the committee to help it get started and pay expenses, such as postage and phone bills. He said he was told a check for $50,000 from the 1986 budget would follow.
According to the veterans, who want to keep their efforts nonpolitical, whenever the subject of money is brought up with a representative of the city, ``We are told the check is in the mail.``
Lois Weisberg, who directs the Mayor`s Office of Special Events, said,
``I was very much in favor of this parade and still am. I`d like to see them have a wonderful parade, and we all need to pitch in and help them.``
But she said the $50,000 check was never meant to be handed over to the veterans parade committee. It was meant to be spent by the city to help offset expenses of the parade. The $25,000 check, allocated last August, she thought ``had been already released to them.``
``They`ve gotten no check?`` she said. ``There has been a problem with this check; maybe there is a bureaucratic hold-up. The veterans have been very, very patient.``
Al Raby, who directs the city`s Human Relations Commission, said, ``There is no hold-up.``

Well, this is awkward. Rose Byrne revealed that her breast milk was confiscated by the TSA during a Thursday, May 19, appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in New York City.
The actress, 36 — who welcomed her first child, son Rocco, with partner Bobby Cannavale back in February — has been busy traveling as of late to promote her latest film Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.
While chatting with Stephen Colbert, 52, Byrne explained that juggling her jam-packed schedule with new motherhood has been a challenge, especially when it comes to getting herself through airport security.
"I've been doing a lot of traveling, too, so I've been taking my breast milk everywhere with me," Byrne said as the talk show host shared a photo of the Aussie beauty holding a bottle of her breast milk, which was confiscated because it exceeded the 3 oz. limit.
"They wave this weird thing over the top of it, and there's a whole production going on," Byrne continued. "They take it very seriously that it could be something. I just stand there and smile and tell them that it's really breast milk, and that it's nothing."
After Colbert told the Bridesmaids star that she should have pointed to her baby to prove that it was just breast milk in her bottle, Byrne joked, "'He's really real; he's here. You want me to get 'em out? What do you think?' I'm not going to do that. No, no, no!"

Apartment Complex Fire. Las Vegas, December 02, 2016. An apartment complex was consumed by fire. The graffitied building had been a vacant redevelopment project, likely inhabited by squatters who were suspected of unintentionally starting the blaze. There were no injuries. Photographed a few weeks after the fire, planar-swaths-of-char rival the gestural washes of persistent graffiti across a carcass of concrete and stucco, belted by rails, and bleached by a desert winter sun.

Add the shrimp to boiling, salted water and cook 2 to 3 minutes (cook too long and they'll get chewy, then mushy). Boil the diced potatoes separately or in the shrimp water until tender but still firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil the eggs until hard, about 10 to 15 minutes. Allow all to cool while you dice the peppers and celery.
Dice the eggs and combine all of the remaining ingredients, adding the mayonnaise last, so you can control the texture of the salad. Chill and serve over a bed of lettuce or other fresh greens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When is the best time to go on this trip?
A: This trip is offered November 1 – April 30. In the late winter and early spring, the Sonoran Desert turns into a lush garden of wildflowers teeming with life, adding to the incredible natural beauty of the region. We are able to operate this trip on custom dates for private groups, but the operational season is limited to the winter and spring months due to the extreme temperatures in the summer in the Phoenix area. Due to the higher elevation of Sedona, this area can experience more traditional winter temperatures and occasional snow unlike the Sonoran Desert, however abundant sunshine during the day generally makes for mild winters.
Q: What are the trails and rides like and how do I train for this trip?
A: While the majority of our chosen routes are non-technical, small sections will involve deep sand, rocky trails, and some level of exposure. While this trip does not require expert level skills or fitness, you should have some experience on single track trails. These are NOT paved paths or crushed gravel pathways, and you will encounter some sections with rocks creating small step-ups and drop-offs (a short walk is always an option!). While there are a variety of options for different skill and fitness levels in Scottsdale, Sedona is generally more technical and challenging riding.
Our routes have been chosen to showcase the immense diversity of the Sonoran Desert and the incredible red rocks of Sedona. You will experience everything from giant Saguaro cacti to intricate orange-red sandstone formations while rolling along fast, sandy trails.
If you only have experience on a road or hybrid bike, or if you have only ridden on man-made surfaces, you may find some of the rides on this trip challenging; please consult with our office should you have any questions regarding your riding experience and whether it is a suitable trip for you.
Q: What sort of accommodations are included on this trip?
A: For the Scottsdale portion of your adventure, you will be staying at Carefree Resort and Conference Center, an upscale resort tucked away in a small town just north of Scottsdale. The charming town of Carefree will give you the perfect taste of the quintessential Southwest or what is often considered the "new west." In Sedona, you will find yourself right in the heart of the town that topped the Most Beautiful Places in America list compiled by USA Weekend. The Arabella is a modest hotel with modern amenities, conveniently located in close proximity to an abundance of distinctive shopping and dining options.

Trip Itinerary
Between 1 – 4pm – Meet at the AOA headquarters in Scottsdale for orientation. During orientation, your trip consultant will review all of your reservations and planned rides, make some additional suggestions for how best to enjoy the local area, and if you rented a bike, will walk you through bike set up and bike rack installation on your rental car. After orientation you will have time to get out on the trails nearby if you wish, or to go exploring in town; just ask your trip consultant for suggestions! Your hotel is in relaxing Carefree, next door to the cowboy town of Cave Creek. Get your western on!
- Riding: No riding today
- Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner on your own
- Lodging: Carefree Resort
One of the western USA's newest trail systems, Brown's Ranch is arguably one of the best outside of Utah and Colorado for both the length of rides and diversity of skill levels that the trails provide. Beginner to advanced cyclists will find something here. Flowing singletrack, coupled with breathtaking views of open desert and towering mountains, makes this system one of the most fun places to ride. This morning, you will meet one of AOA's expert mountain bike guides at the trailhead for about 3 hours of guided riding. The trails chosen will be based on your skill level. Feel free to ask your guide any questions about the surrounding area. Count on riding with your guide for 3 hours, concluding back in the parking lot at noon. The rest of the day is yours to ride more as you please, grab lunch nearby, lounge by the pool at your hotel, or visit some of the many sites Scottsdale has to offer!
- Riding: 20+ miles; 3 hours, minor elevation changes overall, but short, punchy climbs are common. Fit road riders and moderate level mountain bikers will be comfortable.
- Meals: Breakfast included; lunch and dinner on your own
- Lodging: Carefree Resort
This morning's guided ride explores the McDowell Mountains, riding through Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve and into the McDowell Mountain Regional Park. This area is a wilderness corridor connecting directly into the massive Tonto National Forest, creating a habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal life. Keep your eyes peeled for gambel's quail, jackrabbits, desert tortoise or even maybe a bobcat!
The ride will warm you up with a fun downhill leading to some of the most fun cross country mountain bike trails in the Southwest. A long loop around famous Pemberton (home of the Javelina Jundred endurance trail run) and Escondido trails will cover almost 3 hours; but don't forget, what goes down must go up! Your ride finishes with a long gradual uphill back to the trailhead. Once again, the afternoon is yours to enjoy all that towns of Carefree, Cave Creek, and Scottsdale have to offer.
- Riding: 25 miles; 1,100 feet + elevation gain. Flowing, fast and mostly smooth.
- Meals: Breakfast included; lunch and dinner on your own
- Lodging: On your own tonight
This is your last ride day in the Scottsdale Sonoran Desert, and we offer some choices today based on your skills and preferences. We can go back to Brown's Ranch and ride terrain you haven't covered if you enjoyed the first day's ride, or we can take you to similar terrain at the Phoenix Sonoran Park system that includes a little more climbing with mostly smooth, flowing trails. For more challenging riding, we can do Spur Cross Ranch near Cave Creek. After the ride, you can return to your hotel, checkout, and travel on your own to Sedona (2 hours by car). In Sedona, check in to your hotel and explore the town! We include suggestions on what to see and do, as well as excellent dining choices in the central part of town.
- Riding: 12-20+ miles; 3 hours guided suited to your skill level
- Meals: Breakfast included; lunch and dinner on your own
- Lodging: Arabella Hotel Sedona
After breakfast, get ready to ride! Here in Sedona the trail conditions are quite different than what you've experience so far. You will have a local guide to spend the mornings with. Your guide will meet you to go over the rides, answer any questions, and adapt the ride to your abilities. After lunch, you can ride on your own if you desire, but we also recommend enjoying some of Sedona's amazing hikes such as Cathedral Rock, which begins right in town. Some travelers may choose to relax poolside with a book for a little recovery time! Tonight, we have you covered with suggestions of Sedona's best post-ride dining experiences.
- Riding: 12 miles; up to 3 hours
- Meals:Breakfast included; lunch and dinner on your own
- Lodging: Arabella Hotel Sedona
Today, riders will venture into the Upper Dry Creek Trail system located on the west side of Sedona. Three sides of this trail system sit in the shadow of the sky-scraping cliffs of the Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness, which makes for world-class scenery at every stage of the ride. There are numerous options in this system, but we will likely start with a classic loop: Long Canyon, Deadman's Pass, Aerie, Cockscomb, Dawa and back on Arizona Cypress Trail. This loop provides challenge while giving riders a chance to ease into the day on gentler grades and terrain. After the ride, your guide will provide numerous additional suggestions for loops you may choose to ride this afternoon or for a few great hikes in the area.
- Riding: 19 miles; 3 hours of moderate level of skill and up required. Almost all singletrack with the occasional rock obstacles and short punch ups.
- Meals: Breakfast included; lunch and dinner on your own
- Lodging: Arabella Hotel Sedona
Today, you get a final half-day guided ride; perhaps you'll take a spin beneath Steamboat Rock on the Jim Thompson trail and explore the Soldiers Pass Area, or venture down another of your guide's favorite local trails. After checkout from your hotel, enjoy a celebratory lunch in uptown Sedona before the easy 2 hour drive south to your bike return at the AOA office before you head on to the Phoenix Airport or an extra night in the city. Ask your trip consultant for recommendations.
- Riding: 8 miles; up to 3 hours; moderate to challenging depending on your wishes for this last day.
- Meals: Breakfast included; lunch and dinner on your own
- Lodging: On your own tonight

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and renowned for making products in the USA from fabrics such as heavyweight Tin Cloth and warm Mackinaw Wool, Filson stands for the highest quality and most durable apparel and accessories available.
Born in 1850, C. C. Filson inherited his father's pioneer spirit and love of the outdoors. After homesteading in Nebraska and roaming the country as a railroad conductor, he moved to the small city of Seattle, Washington in the 1890s.
Filson's timing couldn't have been better. By 1897, the Great Klondike Gold Rush was on, and thousands of fortune hunters were stampeding into Seattle, headed north. Armed with a strong work ethic, a reputation for honesty and several years' experience operating a small loggers' outfitting store, C. C. Filson was ready to stake his claim to fame.
In 1897, Filson opened C.C. Filson's Pioneer Alaska Clothing and Blanket Manufacturers, specializing in goods to outfit the stampeders to the Klondike Gold Rush.
Filson continued to make his goods from the best materials obtainable, and guaranteed every piece of merchandise. Filson's name became synonymous with reliability, satisfaction and honest values. It's not surprising that the items that worked then still work today, over 100 years later. Comfort, protection and durability never go out of style.

"this was Argentinas heaviest defeat in the group stage of a World Cup since losing 6-1 to Czechoslovakia in 1958. It is also the first time they have failed to win either of their opening two matches at a World Cup for 44 years. Sampaolis players, in other words, were creating history here" - The Guardian's Stuart James on Croatia's 3-0 dicking of the South Americans
Tbf to Spain, it's not like they totally shut up shop. It struck me that they realised France were just so totally pedestrian that once they scored their goal they didn't need to get out of first gear to see them off. All they had to do was go through the motions and wait for the clock to run out. They didn't park the bus, France were just rubbish.
Much better (and apparently more realistic) than Judge John Deed, or whatever the British equivalent is. Though, that's obviously not saying much.
