Controversial radio personality Howard Stern, joined by a Star Trek alum, vows to break new ground on uncensored airwaves.
The radio revolution, it seems, will begin with the sound of extended flatulence.
At least, that was the choice made by shock jock Howard Stern, who kicked off his first satellite radio show at 6 a.m. today with the sound of passing gas over the strains of the theme for the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
It was the first sign of how Stern's show might use its new freedom, three weeks after his Dec. 16 departure from traditional (or terrestrial) broadcast radio. Airing in the new frontier of satellite radio, the self-proclaimed King of All Media presented his first full program free from conventional content restrictions - and free of commercials, at least for the debut show - though the lanky firebrand set a few conditions for himself.
"I have a personal rule that I'm not going to curse ... though I've already violated that, like 100 times," joked Stern, who had used a scatological term to refer to Martha Stewart's daughter, Alexis, and played uncensored clips from TV personality Pat O'Brien's drunken, obscene phone call to a female acquaintance over a Led Zeppelin tune. Even the telephone number provided for fans to call Stern's show translates to a profanity unprintable in a family newspaper.
Absent the bursts of curse words, Stern's first show on Sirius Radio, which airs 6 to 10 a.m. weekdays, wasn't much different than his recent programs on terrestrial radio. He talked about making the move to satellite (confiding that he considered calling his terrestrial radio replacement, former Van Halen lead singer David Lee Roth, to tell him what his new show was doing wrong); he grilled new announcer and Star Trek actor George Takei on his sex life as a gay man; and he featured a bit of phone sex involving a David Letterman impersonator and former Playboy playmate Heidi Cortez.
All in a day's work for the man who made the term "butt bongo" a household phrase.
"It's Sirius: the final frontier," intoned Takei, who played pilot Hikaru Sulu in numerous Trek movies and the classic '60s TV series, with mock seriousness. "(We) boldly go where other radio hacks fear to go."
Fans got an early listen to Stern's show the previous week, as the channel broadcast the shock jock's two rehearsal shows as a sort of "soft launch" - previewing his ban (sort of) on cursing, his Alexis Stewart tirade and the Pat O'Brien clips. For months, Stern's Sirius channels have featured some early programming - his Howard 100 News show devoted to all things Stern, Cortez' phone sex program, dubbed Tissue Time, and a roundtable of fans dissecting the world of Stern.
Today's Sirius show continued the shock jock's obsession with himself, featuring a press conference packed mostly with lightweight journalists - save a few standouts such as MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and the New York Daily News' Richard Huff - asking tough questions such as, "Did you marry longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky?" (answer: no) or "Will your daughters be part of the Sirius channels?" (answer: yes).
More than 2.2-million people have signed up for Sirius' satellite radio service since Stern announced his $500 million deal, and the shock jock has taken credit for every new customer. Last week, Stern and his agent collected $220-million worth of stock for helping the service reach certain subscriber targets, though rival XM Radio added more customers and still has nearly twice as many clients - a total 5.9 million compared to Sirius' 3.3 million.
It is often unwise to spend too much time dissecting the first broadcast of a new show - even Stern admitted this morning that Roth would need up to 18 months to establish his program. But Stern's much-ballyhooed debut offered little new material beyond the extra curse words and X-rated jokes; even his second Sirius channel, Howard 101, was expected to debut with a tape of his first show delayed by three hours for the West Coast.
Tampa shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem, who was fired by Clear Channel Radio two years ago after incurring a $755,000 indecency fine, was expected to debut his new show on Stern's Sirius channels at 4 p.m. today. He made a brief appearance during Stern's press conference this morning, hailing him as the "only man in radio who would hire me."
Still, if Stern's inaugural show proved anything, it's that a lack of content restrictions haven't yet translated into big comedy dividends (much the same way that the two rehearsal shows didn't prevent microphone problems and feedback during today's program).
With millions of fans paying 43-cents a day to access his show ($12.95 per month), Stern must offer a bit more than sex jokes and banter with obsequious journalists to leave listeners feeling they are receiving their money's worth.
Once the press conferences have ended and the hype has dimmed - leaving Stern with his two channels and his audience - we'll all see if the King of All Media can, finally, live up to his name.

1. Terrence Ross over Kenneth Faried
The 2013-14 Dunk of the Year with a week left in the season, anyway comes from Terrence Ross, a two-time Slam Dunk Contest champion (if you count the 2014 team title he won with East teammates Paul George and John Wall). The 6-foot-6 wing understands better than almost anyone how helpful it can be to cock the ball back before delivery. His transition obliteration of Kenneth Faried a two-time victim on this list was a perfect example of this approach.
After collecting a deflection, Ross took off on the break in a quasi two-on-two situation. As he passed at halfcourt, he seemed to reluctantly decide that it was time to challenge Faried one-on-one. That reluctance was gone by the time he hit the three-point arc, as he picked up steam and looked to get his stride right. Taking off from well outside the protected circle, Ross leaped powerfully towards Farieds body before stretching his right arm way back so that the ball would be out of harms way. Faried showed excellent hang time, though, so Ross still had to finish the one-handed dunk over a contesting effort. He somehow managed to do just that, even though his body seemingly corked and uncorked throughout the process. The clean finish made this one that much more amazing.

The last time Joe Lauzon was scheduled to fight Terry Etim, he wound up submitting Gabe Ruediger in less than a round at UFC 118.
Twice Lauzon has been scheduled to fight the British lightweight, and twice the bouts have fallen by the wayside.
But if history is any indication, Lauzon (21-7 MMA, 8-4 UFC) said he should do just fine against Jamie Varner (20-6-1- MMA, 2-1 UFC), the replacement this time around at UFC on FOX 4.
"Last time, good things happened, so this time I'm expecting good things to happen," Lauzon told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
Lauzon vs. Varner serves as the event's first main-card fight, which takes place at Staples Center in Los Angeles and airs live on FOX (with prelims on FUEL TV and Facebook).
Bonus regular Lauzon couldn't have had a better outcome the last time things got switched up. But not everything has turned in his favor.
The last time he led off a main card, things did not go his way. Anthony Pettis caught him with a head kick and won 81 seconds into their fight, which took place at UFC 144. Prior to that, just the opposite happened: Melvin Guillard came marching to the cage like he'd already won the fight, and Lauzon submitted him in 47 seconds at UFC 136.
What to make all of this? Maybe nothing. Lauzon is a veteran, and there isn't much he hasn't seen in the fight game. The head kick knockout loss might have been one of the last things to check off on the list. He's moved on from it.
"I used to get really, really upset when I lost a fight, and obviously, I still get upset," he said. "But I know now that being pissed off about it forever isn't going to help me get better. I have to look at the things I did objectively in camp and make adjustments so I can do better next time."
Varner said Lauzon is in a lose-lose situation. If he wins, he was supposed to win because he fought a short-notice replacement. If he loses, he takes a huge dive losing to an opponent with less experience and less time to prepare.
Lauzon has fought short-notice before, and he can see why Varner thinks that way. That doesn't mean he agrees.
"Whenever we have an opponent, we always make them out to be the worst monster possible," he said. "So I'm basically looking at Varner as having incredible wrestling, incredible boxing, good conditioning and all of that stuff."
Lauzon notes that he takes two months to prepare for a fight, which perhaps makes him more flexible if a fight pursues a different path than he expected.
"[Varner] doesn't have that," he said, "I love being in the underdog position. I can see where he's coming from being a win-win, but one of the things is you're getting smashed and going home with a loss, and the other way you're going home with a win."
The point is, there are many ways this thing could go down. And as Lauzon has already learned, just because things went a certain way in the past doesn't mean they'll be the same next time around.
Just ask his coaches, who are brutally honest with him on a day-to-day basis. They're the ones who will eventually break the bad news if his career is over.
"I feel like some people have a lot of yes men (telling them), 'Yeah, you're doing good,'" Lauzon said. "My coaches are brutally honest. When I have a crappy day, they'll tell me, 'You look like crap today.'
"When it's time for me to stop fighting or it's not working out for me anymore, I know my coaches will tell me."
For now, Lauzon still feels vital and plans to continue. While his most recent outing was about the worst-case scenario he could have faced, there's still plenty of time to fight in the octagon.
There might be a few new things to see, too.

Two password protected discs containing a full copy
of HMRC's entire data in relation to the payment of child benefit was
sent to the NAO, by HMRC's internal post system operated by the courier
TNT. The package was not recorded or registered. It appears the data has failed to reach the addressee in the NAO. The police tell me that they have no reason to believe that this data has found its way into the wrong hands. The police are not aware of any evidence that it has been used for fraudulent purposes or criminal activity.
Let us be clear
about the scale of this catastrophic mistake - the names, the addresses
and the dates of birth of every child in the country are sitting on two
computer discs that are apparently lost in the post, and the bank
account details and National Insurance numbers of 10 million parents,
guardians and carers have gone missing Half the country will be very anxious about the safety
of their family and the security and the whole country will be
wondering how on earth the government allowed this to happen.

Well, I'm really willing to bet that Larry and Spike will lobby Reggie big time for him to come to the Knicks.
Larry has been quoted as saying that Reggie can still play competitively. Spike and Reggie have become good friends.
But Reggie probably wouldn't come here to ride the pine behind Q and Jamal. Maybe if one of them is traded he would consider it. The allure of bigger moments at MSG may be too tempting.
Let me be clear, I'm not on board for bringing him in, it's just that I think Larry would want it.
He may also want to bring in Aaron Mckie or Derrick Coleman (amnesty victims), and that would obviously suk.

This is an incredibly interesting project—but it's not clear how the research will necessarily be linked to "disease", given that there are thousands of "diseases", and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of genetic differences in all of the "ethnic" groups found on the planet.
Moreover, this work will generate so much data that no living human being will be able to assimilate very much of the results of this research. There is so much computation needed that these folks ought to get themselves a couple super computers to help reduce the time to do the data reductions, and statistical inference work that is needed to make meaningful predictions.
Well .. best of luck to them .. this is a really difficult area of endeavor.

Even WASPs can have mixed ethnicity and not know it. After I had double pneumonia several years ago, I had an irregular heartbeat as an after-effect for a while, as well as an unusually high cholesterol level for a vegan. Some genetic blood tests were done by a local cardiologist and a lab named Berkeley Heartlab, I found I had markers in my blood for genetic diseases found in nationalities I did not know I was a part of!! The reason for my high cholesterol in spite of my lack of animals in my diet, was a Celtic genetic marker found in my blood that causes my liver to produce more cholesterol than I need. I never even knew I had Scottish, Irish, or Welsh blood in my lines! I grew up,thinking I was German and Swedish all this time.

The importance of knowing this occurred to me when I realized I might have passed this defect on to my son, who was unaware of Celtic roots. He had his doctor refer him to Berkeley Heartlab where tests revealed that he, too had the marker for high cholesterol. As a result, he was put on medication for this in his twenties.

AFAIK, "Hispanic" is a US invention, a social construct, lumping together a lot of people who speak close spins on Spanish and usually have brown eyes.
A friend who worked in social services for the city of Chicago once told me that Chicago started out with Mexican neighborhoods, Salvadoran neighborhoods, Columbian neighborhoods, and so on. The people did not particularly identify with one another. Then after Hispanics were invented they found themselves given a common identity and interests. So naturally such social constructs would not coincide with any genetic map.
Native Americans must have been subject to being similarly pushed together in spite of their varied histories and linguistic diversity. One wonders if "unassigned" might reflect the waves of migration from Asia to the Americas over thousands of years (??).
It will be interesting to follow this project and others. Here in California it's well worth the expense given the increasingly diverse population from everywhere. We read that it's not just disease or susceptibility to disease but organ transplants and so on also. Some demographics are apparently underserved.

In addition to my grown children from a second marriage, I've been able to reach two from a previous marriage to inform them about my parents' medical histories and mine. They and their children should know about any potential inheritance of disease or susceptibility to disease. Heart problems, diabetes, and other diseases may have a genetic origin that your grandchildren might not suspect. GIVE THEM A BREAK! If you can reach them, let them know.

Our society doesnt have many rites of passage for young people beyond the first drivers license and first legal alcoholic beverage. But graduation from high school is a big one, and the mothers and female teachers at Durango High School have made a tradition of guiding the senior class girls through the transition.
It all happens at the Senior Girls Tea, which was held Monday at the Henry Strater Theatre. Anyone who was downtown that afternoon saw a bevy ... make that bevies ... of beauties all decked out in spring frocks and hats for the event. Now you know what was going on.
Im becoming more inclined to credit the people responsible for organizing events early in the piece, because none of the rest would have happened without them. In the teas case, that would be Chairwoman Deborah Ochsner, Destiny Shipman, KayDe Naylon, Teri Whalen, Wendy OBrien, Anne Klein, Val Foreman, Debbie Casto, Elena Lozano, Donna Bowles, Janis Milliet, Kellie Simpson-Jaworsky, Sue Maxwell, Janet Seiter and Becky Surmeier.
Tables were decorated with candles, red roses and a plate with chocolate-covered strawberries.
Shipman, an English teacher at DHS, wore black and white with a darling black feather fascinator hat. She began with a series of quotations sent in by fellow staff members.
A couple received quite a response. Barbara McLachlan submitted Eleanor Roosevelts A woman is like a teabag you dont know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. Another that struck a chord was Dolly Parton: The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
At previous teas, the candlelighting ceremony took place toward the end, but this year, mothers lit a votive candle at each table and let the girls light the rest from that. There was only one tiny fire when a napkin got too close luckily, no harm was done.
The women decided to keep the speaking to a minimum and invited Kathrine Warren, who graduated from DHS in 2005, to serve as the keynote speaker. Someone so close to their age was inspired when a 50-year-old woman gives a teenager advice, it sounds like a lecture. When a 25-year-old does, it sounds like freshly gained wisdom.
Warren left them with Seven Things She Wishes She Had Known Seven Years Ago. They were things that still resonate for us 50-somethings.
Dont be afraid to ask for help and Listen to your gut, are things we all should do more. The third piece of advice is Dont be reckless with other peoples hearts, and dont be with people who are reckless with yours. Amen.
Travel often, Wear sunscreen and If opportunity presents itself, take hold of it and dont let go take us to six. (I liked her sixth one better for a close, she went with opportunity.)
Be grateful and count your blessings is an attitude and activity that makes everyone happier.
Providing the soundtrack to the tea was the DHS Jazz Combo under the direction of Katharine Reed, with Lars Schwaebe, Chris Petty, Max Kelly, James Triola, J.P. Skeath, Jacob Skeath and Keegan Jordan-Matney. (It was one of the few ways a boy could get in the door shooting photographs and helping with the sound system were others.)
The tea, of course, included tea, sandwiches and cupcakes decorated by Albertsons with a red rose and pearls.
The conclusion was a beloved tradition, a slideshow that featured the beautiful young women and their joys along the path theyve traveled thus far, from Brownies and dance class to soccer and learning to be cheerleaders. ErinEdblom produced that segment.
This year, I only know a few girls who are graduating, but I was sniffling with the other women as we thought about our little girls going out into the world.
The girls all went home with a lovely memento. Ochsner and Whalen had collected mostly donated tea cups from the Durango Humane Society Thrift Store, Methodist Thrift Shop, Dunn Deal Resale Store and Durango Indoor Flea Market. Wrapped in tulle and ribbon, each cup had a small charm tied to the handle (courtesy of Marias Bookshop) and held three tea bags (ready for that hot water), three honey sticks from Honeyville, a pampering gift from the Spaaah Shop, and either a red or white rose from north and south City Market. Y.E.S.S. Book Hutch and Foreman included a decorative and inspirational touch, a bookmark with another quote by Roosevelt: The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
And because no woman should go out in the world without a stash of chocolate, Casto created special messages in some Hershey Kisses.
The young women will be hearing a lot of speeches in the next couple of weeks, as Warren reminded them, admitting she couldnt even remember who the speaker was at her Senior Girls Tea. But if they clip this column, they can ponder what they heard from the speaker at leisure and check it again in seven years to see if Warren got it right. I think theyll find she did.
As we enter the cusp between Aries and Taurus, these birthday celebrants are looking forward to a special day, and cake, too Risa Ontiveros, Marisa Smith, Delmar Beard, Garrett Cobb, Eleah Farrington, Carrie Betts, Virginia Martin, Laura McKelvey, Izzy Riley, Bill Russell, Adam Roessler, Susan Siegele, Dan Tucker, Hannah Miller, Eileen Wasserbach, Brandie Boyd, Missy Rodey and Bill Hoffman.
Roberta Barr, one of the great ladies of La Plata County, will turn 98 on Friday.
I hope everyone did something special for their mothers Sunday. Mark Aaron Zick, the youngest son of Eileen and Jim Zick, flew across the country to surprise his mom for her special day. He lives in Philadelphia.
The visit also doubled as a celebration for the couples 47th anniversary. Also on hand were the couples oldest son, Lt. Col. James Michael Zick and his wife, Regan. J. Michael, as his family calls him, is in the Air Force and will soon deploy to Qatar in the United Arab Emirates.
The Zicks other two children, are a little more local, with Amy in Bayfield and Nathan in Durango. This was the first time in many years the whole family has been together. What a great way to celebrate.
Theres something about May that leads to every organization in town having some before the summer event.
On May 5, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Durango held its third annual Spring Frolic.
I love this event because everyone in the fellowship gives what theyre able, whether its some fabulous baked bread or jewelry, baby-sitting for a parents night out or an extravaganza of a dinner.
The group does something cool, and unlike the San Juan Symphony dinner auction that I didnt quite understand, this one I did. Say there are eight seats for a lobster bake at the home of Don and Judy Hayes. (There were.) You and your wife bid the minimum plus an increase of $5 on top of that for two of the seats. The next couple tops your top bid by $5 and $10 for the next two seats, and so on. Whoops, eight people have outbid you, so if you want that lobster (and the Hayeses said theyd even wipe off that butter dripping down your chin), you have to top the upper two bids.
All kinds of meals were sold this way, with a Greek dinner courtesy of Dwight and Katherine Burgess, solve-a-mystery dinner at the home of Eb and K. Redford, cioppino prepared by John and Aline Schwob and so on. There was a live auction, with people bidding up just to get Tom Hafnor to stop making auction puns, and Crystal Carroll extolled the chocolate cake balls until the group was salivating.
The silent and live auction stuff straddled stuff that was cool and stuff people needed Hafnor donated gutter cleaning that elicited such a bidding war, he agreed to donate more days dangling off peoples roofs. The group raised more than $12,000.
Kudos to Dennis Aronson, who led the organization of this years frolic, on helping finish off the fellowships landscaping. If youve driven by the fellowship, which is catty-corner from Needham Elementary School, youve noticed how great its already looking.
Enjoying the best of Southwest Colorado weather for their anniversaries are Field and Priscilla Blevins, Brad and Monique Monson and Earle and Betty Beasley.

Partly Cloudy
A new trend is emerging that combines a smart phone and tablet.
Photo copyright Getty Images
(WCPO) - Many of us now have a smartphone, or a tablet, or both. So what's next?
You may have a hard time believing this one, but your next gadget may be a combination phone and tablet.
The next big tech device is expected to be the "phablet," a combination of smartphone and tablet.
Looks Goofy, But....
Have you ever seen someone walking around talking into a tablet? It looks funny at first.
But stop laughing: You may be doing this in a couple of years. It's already a rage in Japan, which often sets trends ("Hello Kitty," anyone?).
Phablets are also called "fat phones," hence the "phab" part.
Think of the advantage: Not only does it save $200 (average phone cost), but it eliminates the need to carry two separate devices, since most of us no longer talk much on our phones anymore.
And the huge success of the Samsung Galaxy Note -- a large smartphone -- indicates more are headed here.
Doesn't That Stink?
But from the "doesn't that stink" file, is the fact that many men don't like the idea of carrying a phablet.
A small tablet like the iPad Mini or Kindle is perfect for women, as it fits in their purse. But It won't fit in a man's pants pocket, unless you wear cargo pants to work.
Which will then lead to the next trend: More and more "man purses," to carry that phablet.
Apple Dipping a Toe in the Water
Apple is already making the move: It has just announced it will start selling an iPad Mini with a built-in cellphone in China later this year.
Apple has no plans -- yet -- to sell it in the US. But if it continues losing market share to Samsung, watch for an iPad Mini phone very soon. Tech bloggers say the iPad Mini is almost designed to be a phablet.
But it will face a lot of competition from Samsung, which has a big head start.
So you may want to start saving your pennies, so you don't waste your money.

FRIDAY, Jan. 10, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A sealant gel to
prevent fluid leakage after cataract surgery has been approved by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
While gels such as ReSure have been approved to seal small
incisions in other parts of the body, this is the first such
approval for the eye, the agency said in a news release.
A cataract is a gradual clouding of the eye's lens. By age 80,
more than half of Americans have either an active cataract or have
had cataract surgery, the U.S. National Institutes of Health
The ReSure Sealant kit includes two liquid solutions that are
mixed together just before use. The product is designed to seal an
eye incision within 20 seconds of application, the FDA said. The
gel then breaks down over seven days and is naturally flushed away
by the eye's tears.
No serious adverse reactions to the gel were reported, the FDA
Before this approval, stitches were the only option for closing
a leaking corneal incision after cataract surgery, the agency said.
The product was evaluated in a clinical study of 471 adults.
The ReSure sealant is produced by Ocular Therapeutix, based in
Bedford, Mass.

From WOAI-TV in San Antonio, Texas:
She's been living on the streets to bring attention to homelessness, but Sunday night a local pastor stayed behind bars.
The Rev. Lorenza Andrade Smith had a warrant out for her arrest, because she was cited for sleeping on a park bench, which she says proves her point, that the homeless have few places to lay their heads. Along her journey the pastor has discovered what she calls an unjust judicial system for the poor.
She said, "This will be the second time I'm in jail for that same ticket and I'm just trying to survive out in the streets like hundreds of others here in San Antonio."

Just purchased a 2012 F800ST. I am used to having more storage space from my years on a Honda ST1300 with a Givi top case. My new bike has factory side cases and I want to add a top case that is similar in appearance to my side cases, proportional to the bike, and is capable of holding one Arai Corsair full face helmet. I really like the Givi Trekker 46, but when I try to picture the case on my bike using just a tape measure it looks like it would be out of proportion on the large side. If you have tried this combination and have a pic please post it.
I really have confidence in Givi, but am open to suggestions, even soft sided, but permanently mounted options.
Your comments are welcome.


text: Very good post. It is realy that way. Dakar 2010 I was at the start and have some simpel chats with a lot of southamerican drivers, and it is true everyone stating they were to start calm and try to reach the end. I was at El nihuil (day 8) and everybody at the Bivouac looking for results to be published, looking for information on rivals or how did them performed compared to them.

Book Review
Raising Your Spirited Child Workbook
by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka
Reviewed by Neysa C.M. Jensen
Boise, ID USA
From: NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 16 No. 3, May-June 1999, pp. 98
Spirited! What a lovely word! In a society that often frowns on wild, explosive, and stubborn behavior in children, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka redesigns the labels and calls the behavior energetic, dramatic, and assertive. Kurcinka is the author of Raising Your Spirited Child- a Guide for Parents Whose Child is More Intense, Sensitive, Perceptive, Persistent, and Energetic.
When I first read Raising Your Spirited Child I found myself wishing I could be a part of a workshop on spirited children such as the ones Kurcinka described in the book. I could have used the practical help in applying her principles of positive parenting with my children. In answer to many requests for a study guide, Kurcinka wrote the Raising Your Spirited Child Workbook.
In this book, the author assembles a fictional, but representative class based on her own experiences leading workshops for parents of spirited children. Readers read about the sessions, do the exercises along with the fictional class members, and share in their successes. Most importantly, readers have the chance to take the concepts from the original book and further learn how to apply them to their specific child. Whether one has read the original book or not, Raising Your Spirited Child Workbook will help anyone with a spirited child.
Mary Sheedy Kurcinka echoes La Leche League's philosophy of loving guidance time and time again in this book. She points out, for example, that "spirited children possess traits 'in the raw' that are truly valued in adults but challenging in a young child." Thus, her goal is not to change children, but to "recognize their potential and help them develop the skills they need to manage their temperament well." This workbook provides exercises and insight to "help parents create families where spirit thrives," rather than aiming to crush these tender spirits. Exercises focus on the positive attributes of each trait, always reminding the reader that spirit, well channeled, is wonderful. Emphasis is also given to enabling children to recognize and manage their own temperament as they grow.
Chapter by chapter, readers cover each trait and learn tools to help children maintain their spirit. I use this workbook to teach classes in my community and one of my favorite exercises in the book is in the chapter "What Makes Kids Spirited?" The participants write their names and are then asked how it feels to write with their preferred hands. In the class I lead, answers include "natural, normal, right." Then participants are asked to write their names with the other hand and describe how it feels. Some common answers are "awkward, embarrassing, impossible, difficult." The exercise demonstrates how it feels to use one's non-preferred style.
Imagine an energetic spirited child trying to sit still at school all day, or an introverted spirited child trying to find her place at a busy day care facility, where participating in the group's activity is valued. Kurcinka says, "Unprepared and pushed to 'not be' who he is, the child may become exhausted and frustrated. He may even refuse to cooperate or simply quit trying." The exercise helps parents of spirited and non-spirited alike feel the frustrations their spirited children face each day.
With that in mind, the Raising Your Spirited Child Workbook proceeds to discuss the temperamental traits of spirited children: intensity, persistence, sensitivity, perceptiveness, and adaptability, plus the bonus traits of regularity, energy, first reaction, and disposition. Questions and charts guide readers through an analysis of their children's and their own temperament (most spirited children have at least one spirited parent), to determine which traits are most dominant.
Not every spirited child has all the traits, and not all children who have the same traits have them to the same degree. That's part of what makes living with spirited children frustrating for parents. There are no one-size-fits-all" answers.
Mothers looking for a book that speaks about loving guidance beyond the toddler years may want to read this book. Several parents of spirited children in an LLL Group might decide to form a group to do parts of the workbook together. The members of the group lead enthusiastically comment that every parent, not just parents with spirited children, can follow the techniques in this book. Good communication and respect for children and their diverse needs are at the heart of positive parenting, whatever the child's temperament.

Final Record: 8-13-9, 33 pts. (Sixth, Western Conference)
For the third consecutive season, the Galaxy failed to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs, finishing sixth in the Western Conference with a record of 8-13-9.
Despite a disappointing 4-0 loss to Colorado in the season opener, the Galaxy had a successful start to their first season under Ruud Gullit. Following their season opening loss, the club quickly found its footing and jumped to the top of the Western Conference standings. From May 18-June 14 the Galaxy won four of five games, scoring three or more goals in each game, to sit three points clear of their conference rivals. However, starting with a 3-3 home draw against Columbus on June 21, the Galaxy would go a club record 12 games (0-6-6) without a win and quickly faded from the postseason picture.
During that streak, on August 12, the club relieved General Manager Alexi Lalas of his responsibilities and Head Coach Ruud Gullit also left the club. A week later Bruce Arena was hired as the seventh coach in club history, bringing 2003 MLS Coach of the Year Dave Sarachan along with him as his Associate Head Coach.
That duo claimed their first win on September 20 with an emphatic 5-2 win over D.C. United, Arena's first club, with Landon Donovan scoring a hat trick and adding an assist. However, that result and a 3-2 win over Colorado in October were the Galaxy's only wins over the final four and a half months of the year and the club finished six points behind the final playoff spot, missing the postseason for the third straight season.
But despite the disappointing results, the 2008 season was full of individual honors for Galaxy players. Landon Donovan won the Budweiser MLS Golden Boot as the league's leading goalscorer with a career-high 20 goals to go along with nine assists. Donovan, who was also named the Galaxy's Most Valuable Player, had six multi-goal games for the Galaxy in 2008 and was named the MLS Player of the Month in April and the MLS Player of the Week on four separate occasions. His fellow forward Edson Buddle was third in the league with 15 goals, which were also a career-high for the New York native. Both of those players were named to the MLS All-Star Team, which beat West Ham United 3-2 in Toronto, as was David Beckham who had five goals and a team-best 10 assists on the year.
Sean Franklin, the Galaxy's first round pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, was not named to the All-Star Team, but the Palmdale native did have an immediate impact on his new club. Franklin appeared in 27 games for the Galaxy and was named the club's Defender of the Year. Additionally, Franklin was named the Gatorade MLS Rookie of the Year, making him the first Galaxy player ever to win the award.

CALGARY, Alberta, June 27 (UPI) -- Canadian pipeline company TransCanada said it secured some permits needed to build the U.S. leg of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
TransCanada had to reapply for a section of the planned Keystone XL pipeline from oil fields in Canada after lawmakers in Nebraska objected to original route plans.
The domestic Gulf Coast Project is a 485-mile leg of the pipeline that would stretch from Cushing, Okla., to southern Texas. Another 47-mile project would transport oil to refineries in Houston.
TransCanada spokesman Shawn Howard told the Platts news service the company secured one of the three permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers it needs to build the southern U.S. leg of the Keystone XL pipeline.
"We continue to believe that we will be in a position to begin construction later this summer and are working with the corps and others to secure the approvals and permits we require," he was quoted as saying.
The section from Canada needs federal approval because it would cross international borders. No such permit is required for the U.S. section and TransCanada expects to have oil flowing through that section by the second half of 2013. The initial transport capacity would be 700,000 barrels of oil per day.
A decision on the resubmitted application is expected early next year.

Someone's in the Kitchen!Greg Gilpin - Heritage Music Press
Break out the kitchen utensils, pots, and pans for this rowdy, fun original novelty piece about a mysteriously noisy chef! Half speech choir and half sung, with a small group playing the utensil instruments and a clever piano accompaniment, it finally builds to an instrumental break followed by a quote of the "Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah" phrase from I've Been Workin' on the Railroad. But there's nothing half-baked about any of this! It's quite simply one of the most entertaining novelties available for school choirs! Highly recommended!

February 25, 2009
Cal Thomas, a conservative evangelical columnist, is someone I really admire. But shortly after Barack Obama's historic election victory, he wrote a column called "Religious Right, R.I.P.," which I strongly disagree with. In it, Thomas asserts that evangelicals should abandon their efforts to impact culture through political involvement.
He says, "Evangelicals are at a junction. They can take the path that will lead them to more futility and ineffective attempts to reform culture through government, or they can embrace the far more powerful methods outlined by the One they claim to follow."
By following the example of Christ, Thomas continues, "they will get much of what they hope for, but can never achieve, in and through politics."
Well, Thomas, in my opinion, is both dead right and dead wrong. He is right in the sense that all of the followers of Jesus should indeed emulate Christ's life. Thomas is also right that some of those who have led the evangelical movement in the political culture have been strident in tone and hungry for power.
But Thomas is wrong in setting up an either-or proposition. Either you are involved in politics seeking change—or you live like Jesus and effect change merely by your exemplary life. Unfortunately, neither Jesus nor the whole of Scripture gives us that choice. Instead, we are called to work and live in all areas of life, living like Jesus in the process. We cannot withdraw from any area—especially not politics.
Thomas's conclusion seems to be based on a sense of failure. Looking back on the last 30 years of evangelical political involvement, he observes that evangelicals have little to show for their efforts. Abortion remains the law of the land, society grows coarser, and the homosexual culture is widely entrenched.
I wonder, however, what our country would look like today if believers had been absent from the public square for the last 30 years. I understand his frustration, but to despair after 30 years is shortsighted.
Os Guinness gives us a reminder of how dangerous withdrawing can be. Such an imbalanced emphasis on the "sphere of inwardness, personal bliss, and private salvation" characterized the church in Germany in the first half of the last century. In such a fog, Guinness says, they "could raise no altar strong enough to resist the challenge of Adolf Hitler."
Likewise, Carl Henry, one of the great theologians of the 20th century, writes, "The Christian populace fails its contemporaries if it postpones all protest until a state becomes so corrupt that revolution seems the only course of action."
We Christians simply cannot afford to fail our contemporaries by withdrawing. Especially now, when so many have an agenda that devalues life and weakens families.
The tension to retreat into religious isolation is not new. After Jesus' ascension, some in the early church were ready to withdraw from the affairs of men and simply wait for Jesus to return. Paul repeatedly and sternly had to remind them to go back to work, to do good to their fellow man, and to regularly meet together. They could not check out early, and neither can we.

Hi there,
I successfully installed DataLock on 3 laptops but the 4th one refused to install and gave me the following error message:
"Desktop computers need PS/2 mouse connected
Connect PS/2 mouse"
This of course doesn't make any sense for several reasons:
1) The machine is a laptop not a desktop.
2) I successfully installed DataLock on 3 other laptops that don't have a PS/2 mouse.
3) Why is Zonealarm marketing DataLock for laptops if it doesn't work 100%?
I had two very frustrating chat sessions with totally incompetent ZA tech support. The only support they offered was that I should buy a PS/2 adapter which is obviously totally ridiculous considering that ZA's product simply has a severe bug.
Any recommendations?
PS: Laptop runs XP Pro SP3 all updated and in perfect shape with the newest version of ZA Extreme Security with DataLock.

OBETZ, Ohio – Andy Gruenebaum wasn't going to let a mild right knee sprain suffered against the Seattle Sounders in a 2-0 win on May 23 keep him out of the lineup.
He was on the field three days later against Chicago and again Saturday at New England, allowing one goal in 180 minutes to help extend the Columbus Crew's unbeaten streak to six.
"You're never going to play 100 percent healthy and if you are, God bless you," the Crew goalkeeper told MLSsoccer.com.
Because of season-ending hip surgery for incumbent William Hesmer, Gruenebaum has played all 13 matches this season. The total is three more than his previous season highs in 2007 and 2009 and half the number of his 26 career regular-season matches prior to this year.
"Mentally, I'm fine," Gruenebaum said. "Physically, I feel all right and looking forward to getting more games in. When you're playing games consistently, you have to be that much fresher. Not that I wasn't that way before, because I always felt ready if need be, but it's easier to put what your body's needs ahead of everything else when you're the starter."
Gruenebaum is serious about taking over in goal. He started the first 10 games of 2007 and had a 1-4-5 record despite a 1.50 goals-against average. Hesmer then took over for the remainder of the season and the rest is history.
In 2008, Gruenebaum played one match – the second-to-last of the season after the Crew had clinched the Supporters' Shield – as Hesmer led them to the MLS Cup championship. Gruenebaum subbed for the injured Hesmer for a third of the 2009 season but his only games the next two seasons were in 2011 when he blanked Portland and Real Salt Lake in consecutive outings.
If there was any doubt that Gruenebaum has capably replaced Hesmer this season they were removed following sterling seven save efforts vs. San Jose and Seattle and the six stops against the Revolution in a 0-0 draw for his fifth shutout of the year.
"He's been playing out of his mind," midfielder Eddie Gaven said. "We have so much confidence in him and his ability to be able to save shots from inside the box, outside the box, anywhere."
Gruenebaum said playing regularly has built his confidence.
"The game slows down a little bit more each time," he said. "I've been around a long time so that helps, too. I channel all that experience."
What he hasn't experienced before is talk he could be named to the MLS squad that will face Chelsea in the All-Star Game on July 25 at PPL Park in Chester, Pa.
"It would be an honor obviously," Gruenebaum added, "but if you tell me I can be an All Star and we won't make the playoffs, I'm not going to take that deal."

Paget's Disease of Bone
Also called: Osteitis deformans
Paget's disease of bone causes your bones to grow too large and weak. They also might break easily. The disease can lead to other health problems, too, such as arthritis and hearing loss. You can have Paget's disease in any bone, but it is most common in the spine, pelvis, skull, and legs. The disease might affect one or several bones, but not your entire skeleton. More men than women have the disease. It is most common in older people.
No one knows what causes Paget's disease. In some cases, a virus might be responsible. It tends to run in families. Many people do not know they have Paget's disease because their symptoms are mild. For others, symptoms can include
- Pain
- Enlarged bones
- Broken bones
- Damaged cartilage in joints
Doctors use blood tests and imaging tests to diagnose Paget's disease. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent some symptoms from getting worse. Treatments include medicines and sometimes surgery. A good diet and exercise might also help.

Paget disease of bone Paget disease of bone is a disorder that causes bones to grow larger and weaker than normal. Affected bones may be misshapen and easily broken (fractured).The classic form of Paget disease of bone typically appears in middle age or later. It usually occurs in one or a few bones and does not spread from one bone to another. Any bones can be affected, although the disease most commonly affects bones in the spine, pelvis, skull, or legs.Many people with classic Paget disease of bone do not experience any symptoms associated with their bone abnormalities. The disease is often diagnosed unexpectedly by x-rays or laboratory tests done for other reasons. People who develop symptoms are most likely to experience pain. The affected bones may themselves be painful, or pain may be caused by arthritis in nearby joints. Arthritis results when the distortion of bones, particularly weight-bearing bones in the legs, causes extra wear and tear on the joints. Arthritis most frequently affects the knees and hips in people with this disease.Other complications of Paget disease of bone depend on which bones are affected. If the disease occurs in bones of the skull, it can cause an enlarged head, hearing loss, headaches, and dizziness. If the disease affects bones in the spine, it can lead to numbness and tingling (due to pinched nerves) and abnormal spinal curvature. In the leg bones, the disease can cause bowed legs and difficulty walking.A rare type of bone cancer called osteosarcoma has been associated with Paget disease of bone. This type of cancer probably occurs in less than 1 in 1,000 people with this disease.Early-onset Paget disease of bone is a less common form of the disease that appears in a person's teens or twenties. Its features are similar to those of the classic form of the disease, although it is more likely to affect the skull, spine, and ribs (the axial skeleton) and the small bones of the hands. The early-onset form of the disorder is also associated with hearing loss early in life.

I am so happy to find this forum. I am new to all this and I have a question.
Yes I am doing homework and the problem requires me to open a txt.file and put test answers into a parallel array and then manipulate it a bit figuring out score, average ect.
I don't want code for that, I have written the manipulation function bits already and I think it'll work but I can't for the life of me get the info out of the file and into the array and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
So.. I wrote a little program to try and figure out how the whole i/o file /array thing works but I'm stuck. In fact I've written it more than a few times and none of them work. I looked in the FAQ and did a search but didn't really see anything that helped. I think maybe my question is maybe too basic and something most folks already know.
Any suggestions would be appreciated however I'm really hoping someone can tell me "why" it works the way it works so I will never have to ask again and so I have a better understanding of what I'm doing.
My professor says we should have had this last term and I got a good grade last term but we didn't do any programs that involved files and so I'm playing catch up and I am really confused.
Thanks for any help here's one of my attempts
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
main ()
ifstream fileInput; //input file variable
ofstream fileOutput; //output file variable
char answers[][25]; //array for holding answers
fileInput.open("filename", ios::in);
fileOutput.open("filename", ios::out);
getline(fileInput, answers[][20]);
fileInput.ignore(4, '\n') //because i need to ignore the first
//4 chars in my big program
return 0;

Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission
302 West Washington Street, Room 306
Indianapolis Indiana 46204
317.232.2297 office
317.233.1982 fax
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission today approved a request from Acadia Bay Energy Co., LLC and Allegheny Energy Supply Company LLC to build and operate a 635-megawatt power generating plant in St. Joseph County, Indiana.
In Cause No. 41966, the majority of the Commissioners approved the project will be located on approximately 172 acres of land two miles east of the Town of New Carlisle, Indiana within a St. Joseph County Economic Development District. The district is home to several other significant industrial facilities, including one of the largest steel mills in the Midwest.
The companies presented letters to the Commission supporting the project from the Board of Commissioners of St. Joseph County, the Town council of New Carlisle and Project Future, a not-for- profit organization promoting economic development in St. Joseph County.
To allow the IURC to keep track of electric systems across the state, the order requires the company to keep the IURC informed of progress during construction. The company is also required to seek prior approval of any transfer of assets owned by Acadia Bay. The Commission also requires the company to establish and maintain funds to be used to return the site to its current condition in the event of abandonment, financial failure and/or bankruptcy.
Electricity generated at the facility will be sold solely on the wholesale market.

Music fills the air in Lenox at BerkshireStock
LENOX -- Spotting Tyler Deimos Stanton from across Saturday's Berkshire Stock festivities in Lenox, it was obvious he was a rocker -- pink, leopard-print skinny jeans, a black leather jacket and earrings don't really scream country blues musician or R&B hip-hop rapper.
When he took to the stage inside Tally Ho at around 1:15 p.m., fellow band mates Chewy Rockafeller, Doktor Ugs, and Professor Giant wore radically different clothing, but were unified under the band name Fallen Starlets, and entertained a small crowd with their head-banging rock 'n' roll.
"We have to make sure people get their money's worth," Stanton said of his band, which originated in Housatonic. "We want to make sure it's not just the music, but a show, too. It's freakin' great they have something like this here."
What started as a cold, cloudy Saturday morning eventually gave way to a sunnier, warmer setting for the first ever BerkshireStock at Eastover Resort, 430 East St., in Lenox.
The 550 acres allowed for people to spread out, making the nearly 350 musicians, staff and guests seem more scarce than it was. About 700 tickets were had been sold by Saturday afternoon.
"It picked up a little bit throughout the day," said Micheal Drolet, the field operations manager for MJ Norton Security out of Chicopee. "Everything's been smooth."
In a last-minute agreement between Eastover and MJ Norton Security, the professional agency was hired to monitor the inaugural event.
According to previous Berk shire Eagle reports, hiring MJ Norton meant that the attendance would cap at 800, in a previous agreement between Lenox town officials and Eastover. However, the hired security staff wasn't upholding that number all day Saturday.
"We have no way of knowing that," Drolet said. "My understanding is that each of the bands had 300 tickets to give out, Eastover could give out as many as they want, and there have been 700 tickets sold. That's way more than 800 people right there."
The only incident as of Saturday morning was a medical emergency where a man, 20s, had a seizure on the grounds. He was quickly removed from the grounds and taken by EMS for treatment, and was expected to be fine, Drolet said.
"Everyone acted very quickly and it showed that we're prepared for this," he said.
Miraculously, nobody succumbed to whiplash from the relentless head-banging going on in sync with the guitar riffs and drum-banging that took place on the three stages. Wherever you were on the grounds, music could be heard, rather it be Alice in Chains covers or original music, like Fallen Starlets' tunes.
"You know that feeling you had in high school, where you were [angry] at everything and the anger is misdirected? That's what rock music is," according to Doktor Ugs. He says he has no Ph.D, but has studied enough to give the title to himself.
To the far side of the resort, where a few dozens tents and motor homes nestled for the weekend, sat Sharon Craw ford and her niece, Christina Christiana. The Pittsfield natives aren't far from their homes, but are posted up on the grounds to take in the full experience.
"I've never been to a music festival before but always wanted to,"Christiana said. "It's a great way to celebrate my birthday [Saturday]."
Both were anxiously awaiting Saturday's performance of Back in Black, an AC/DC cover band, which they both are fans of.
"I like when the guitarist strums the guitar and does this," Crawford said before kicking her leg up in the air and strumming an air guitar.
Rock music has evolved with its generations, according to Christiana.
"It's harder than it used to be," she said. "But I still like bands like Motley Crüe and AC/DC. Christiana and Crawford made it to the main stage for Back in Black's performance after tending to their collapsing tent.
While there seemed to mostly rock music throughout the grounds, the array of genres stretched from rappers asking the crowd to "put their hands up in the air," or country singers telling their spectators to give them a "yee-haw."
Emma Poore of Lenox, and Dana Hubbard of Pittsfield had a bird's eye view of the main stage from their hilltop. Their were anxiously awaiting a dubstep music festival on the grounds later that night.
Dubstep -- not quite pop or rock, and certainly not country or jazz -- continues to polarize music fans, but Poore and Hubbard are sold on it.
"I love it. It's a new generation of music," Poore said.
"It's probably the fastest growing music genre," Hubbard added. "My mom even listens to it."
As with every first event, there are kinks that are worked out.
"It's been a very beneficial experience," said Mark Guilds, a consultant for both Eastover and the event. "We had an opportunity towork on the grounds that are made specifically for this type of events, like the amphitheater, and work out the logistics of security. It's been a great training experience for next year."

Hello to all! Here is a photo of me and the wife getting ready to leave a campground we found in the Eiffel region of Germany...
Welcome! Nice first post!
My '99 K1200LT at the rest area off I-75 in Gaylord, MI last weekend. Close to the the 45th Parallel.
Figured I'd add to the KRS pix. Here's my 2001 K1200RS at the beginning of the road through Lolo Pass. We stopped and took the shot of the famous sign on our way to Spokane. What a road!

Two Sundays ago, Will Weatherford was teaching his 4-year-old daughter how to ride a bicycle in their Wesley Chapel neighborhood when it started getting dark. The House speaker promised they would try again when he returned home from Tallahassee at the end of the week.
The next day, Weatherford's wife sent him a text message with a video of his daughter riding her bike without training wheels.
"If I'm going to miss that to come up here,'' he told a group of newspaper editors last week at the Capitol, "we're going to do real stuff.''
Weatherford and Senate President Don Gaetz sound determined to do real stuff when the legislative session begins in March: Reforming the broken campaign finance laws that allow for too much money and too little transparency. Tightening ethics rules that do so little to prevent corruption. Fixing the elections system that the Legislature so badly damaged just two years ago.
"If people don't trust their government, how can we ever convince them on any other policy initiative going forward?'' Weatherford asked.
Good point.
As Gaetz joked last week, Congress has an approval rating of 9 percent and the Florida Legislature's approval rating is probably only a little higher. "Moammar Gadhafi had a 14 percent approval rating when his people killed him,'' the Niceville Republican said.
There is reason to be optimistic that Weatherford and Gaetz can help the Legislature's approval rating. In recent separate meetings with the Tampa Bay Times editorial board and in a joint appearance last week in Tallahassee, they sounded serious, thoughtful and engaged. They think before they speak, listen to different points of view and have a vision for Florida that stretches beyond next year. They can discuss complicated issues with some authority, yet they are careful to avoid straying too far beyond what they know.
Gaetz and Weatherford are a significant improvement over their immediate predecessors, who were more interested in their own futures, ideological purity and settling political scores. To be sure, they are conservative Republicans who are not going to embrace broad tax reform, gun control or other progressive positions. But they are a breath of fresh air and sound more interested in making positive change than waging ideological warfare.
They are Tallahassee's odd couple, Gaetz and Weatherford. Gaetz, 65, is a wealthy retired health care executive and a former elected Okaloosa County school superintendent and school board member. At 33, Weatherford is the second-youngest Florida House speaker in modern history and young enough to be Gaetz's son. He is the brother of a former Florida State University quarterback and the son-in-law of former House Speaker Allan Bense, the most universally respected speaker in the last 15 years.
Weatherford and Gaetz developed their relationship over the last couple of years by leading the redrawing of the legislative and congressional districts. That is not an easy job, and it was complicated by the constitutional amendments voters approved that established fairer rules. That made it harder to please as many incumbents, and Democrats gained seats in both chambers. But the process was relatively smooth compared with previous redistricting efforts, and Weatherford particularly distinguished himself as his House map easily won court approval.
The Senate president and the House speaker traditionally speak separately at the annual Associated Press legislative briefing in Tallahassee, each pitching their separate agendas. Gaetz and Weatherford appeared together, selling common goals and alternating speaking roles.
"He has led the effort on this,'' Weatherford said of Gaetz on ethics reform.
"I agree with the speaker,'' Gaetz said on Weatherford's proposal to expand virtual learning opportunities.
Of course, it's easy to be warm and fuzzy now. There haven't been any tough votes yet, and sharing broad goals is not the same as endorsing specific legislation. Let's see how it looks in late April, when there are just days left in the legislative session, priorities have yet to be passed and lawmakers are sniping at each other and chafing at the prospect of new ethics rules and fundraising restrictions.
There also will be disappointments along the way. Gaetz and Weatherford will not repeal "stand your ground" even though the abuses are clear. They are not likely to fix property insurance. They have yet to accept the expansion of Medicaid under the federal health care law, although it would surprise me if they decline it.
But for now, there is reason to be encouraged about the direction in Tallahassee. Weatherford and Gaetz share an ambitious reform agenda, and they appear committed to leaving a lasting legacy.

Accommodations for bicyclists haven't been a significant consideration over the years in Quincy, a dense, car-heavy city where traffic management is always a front-burner issue. That is changing
About the series
In a two-day series running Saturday and Monday, in print and online, we'll look at how cyclists, drivers and pedestrians share our changing roads.
TODAY: Quincy works to make downtown more bicycle friendly.
MONDAY: Potholes and busy, narrow streets make bicycle conditions dangerous on South Shore roads.

As the vision for a new Quincy Center takes hold, the road network in the heart of the city is being designed to discourage motorists from treating it as a cut-through.
A dedicated bike lane will be created on Hancock Street to connect the MBTA station to the future Adams Green in front of city hall. The mayor is establishing a bicycle commission, and the firm redeveloping the center is explicitly appealing to young professionals who don't own cars.
At the same time, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, a planning agency that works with suburban communities south of Boston, is measuring roads near Quincy's main drags to determine where bike lanes could fit, with a goal of connecting Quincy to the Neponset River bike trail.
"Quincy offers great potential for bicycle travel," said Kristina Johnson, the city's director of transportation planning. "The demographics are changing. Younger folks have an expectation: They want to be able to walk to transit, they want to be able to ride their bikes. They don't necessarily want to be burdened with owning a car."
Count among this group Joe Hern, a lawyer from Wollaston who commutes to his office in Boston every morning from Quincy. He uses Granite Avenue to connect to the Neponset River trail.
"I try to think of ways not to use a car," Hern said. "I hate to walk, and I just don't see getting in a car to go 2 miles."
Last year, Hern and other residents formed a group called Quincycles to promote bicycling in the city and organize group rides, which they plan to hold every Sunday.
On a Thursday night in March, Quincycles members pedaled through the snow to city hall to meet with officials to discuss how to improve bicycle accommodations such as racks, signs and lane markings.
"I think what's missing right now is that infrastructure," said the Rev. Nathan Pipho of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in North Quincy, Quincycles organizer. "Motorists and bicyclists don't always know how to share roadways. Ultimately, what we hope for in Quincy is that when people are thinking about how to get from their house to another point, they will consider bicycle as a safe and viable option."
The Metropolitan Area Planning Council is working to help Quincy residents see the possibilities by plotting potential bike routes to Boston.
"The advantage that I think Quincy has are a number of streets that parallel the major roads," said David Loutzenheiser, a transportation planner for the council. "It's about creating a route along some of these parallel streets."
Not everyone in Quincy is embracing bicycles.
Ward 6 City Councilor Brian McNamee said he soured on the accommodations after the state installed bike lanes on the refurbished Neponset River Bridge that he said reduced the room vehicles have to merge onto the traffic-clogged span.
"I think the bicycle enthusiasts have become a very, very effective lobby for getting accommodations in our road networks," McNamee said. "They've gotten bike lanes to be created, and I think that's often at the expense of the motorist, and also creating a hazardous situation for (bicyclists)."
What's been done thus far for bicyclists in Quincy and other communities south of Boston is only the beginning, said Eric Bourassa, the planning council's director of transportation planning.
"The first thing we're trying in these communities like Quincy is: Where can we put down (bike lane) paint? The very basic stuff," he said. "We're very much at an infancy of bicycle planning outside of the core of Boston, Cambridge, Somerville."

Braun departs for Classic, says left knee is fine
By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
MESA, Ariz. -- Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun called his bruised left knee a non-issue and said he would be ready to go the distance for Team USA when Pool D of the World Baseball Classic gets under way later this week.
Braun did not play for the Brewers after taking a foul tip off the inside of his left knee on Thursday against the White Sox. The swelling had mostly subsided by Sunday, when he packed his belongings and moved to Team USA's temporary home in Scottsdale, Ariz.
"I think the plan is to play nine innings all three days," Braun said, referring to Team USA's opening-round play. "I'll be good. I'll be fine."
The U.S. team starts with a primetime matchup against Mexico on Friday at Chase Field.
MRI clean, but Aramis to miss time with knee injury
MESA, Ariz. -- An MRI scan of third baseman Aramis Ramirez's left knee on Sunday confirmed the Brewers' best-case scenario: no structural damage.
But he will still be sidelined for some time, manager Ron Roenicke said.
"The MRI was good. It showed what we thought it was," said Roenicke, alternatively describing the injury as a strain and a sprain. "But it won't probably be day-to-day. He's pretty sore today, so whether it's a week or a little more than that, that's probably what we're looking at."
This qualified as good news, Roenicke said.
"I think so, and he was really happy," he said. "I saw him before he left, and he was concerned."
Ramirez was hurt when his knee hit the dirt sliding into second base on Saturday against the Angels. He was moving very gingerly as he prepared to depart Maryvale Baseball Park on Sunday morning for Chandler, Ariz., where he underwent the MRI.
"I'm not feeling too good right now," Ramirez said.
Could this be bad?
"I don't know," Ramirez said. "I've never had a knee problem before. I don't know what to expect. It doesn't feel good right now, but the good thing is it's not swelling right now. It's just sore, so that's good. We'll see -- hopefully it's OK.
"I talked to [Alex Gonzalez, who tore his ACL last season], and it's not the same thing because he told me his knee swelled up right away, and even the next day it got real big, and mine isn't. He told me he couldn't put his pants on, it was so big. [Ramirez's own injury] is not that bad."
The Brewers' medical staff told Roenicke as much on Saturday after examining Ramirez's knee. They did not find signs of structural damage.
Milwaukee is off Monday before returning to host Canada's World Baseball Classic squad on Tuesday at Maryvale Baseball Park. With Taylor Green playing for Canada in the Classic, Jeff Bianchi on Team Italy and Ramirez likely sidelined a few days, the Brewers will cover third base with a combination of Donnie Murphy (who started there Sunday against the Cubs), Bobby Crosby (expected to debut Tuesday after missing time with a quadriceps strain) and Alex Gonzalez (who has played third in Venezuela). The Brewers will also borrow former Oriole Blake Davis from Minor League camp, Roenicke said.
Escobar's spring debut cut short by hand issue
MESA, Ariz. -- After four years away, it was not Kelvim Escobar's long-troublesome right shoulder that gave him trouble. This time it was his something else.
Escobar trotted onto the field at HoHoKam Stadium at 3:01 p.m. MT for his first Spring Training appearance since 2009 and only his second appearance in any Major League game since he won 17 games for the Angels in 2007. Fifteen minutes later, he was walking off with Brewers head athletic trainer Dan Wright at his side.
"Out there, he didn't say what hurt," catcher Blake Lalli said. "He just said, 'Not today."
The Brewers announced during the game that Escobar was suffering from a sore elbow, but manager Ron Roenicke said following Milwaukee's 4-3 victory over a Cubs split squad that the trouble spot was Escobar's right hand.
"He didn't feel good strength in his hand, and the ball was coming out funny," Roenicke said. "No elbow, no shoulder. He said it was hand."
Escobar entered for the bottom of the sixth inning and threw ball one to a pinch-hitter, Darnell McDonald, but came back to strike McDonald out looking at a split-fingered changeup, a pitch Escobar would come back to again. Nate Schierholtz followed and took a walk in a six-pitch at-bat that included two balls over Schierholtz's head and two in the dirt, but Escobar moved to within an out of a scoreless inning when Wellington Castillo popped the next pitch to shallow right field.
Scott Hairston followed and worked another walk that included a pair of close pitches inside. Brett Jackson took a first pitch to the ribs and loaded the bases.
When Escobar threw ball one to shortstop Javier Baez, he gave what Lalli termed "the look," and his day was done. Brewers pitching coach Rick Kranitz visited the mound, had a word and immediately signaled to the bullpen. As Escobar walked toward the bench, Wright met him at the foul line.
Earlier in the inning, how was Escobar's stuff?
"It was OK," Lalli said. "What I noticed was that when he was in the zone, they didn't take good swings. But if you ask him, he's probably used to being really good. So he's probably got very high standards."
Said Roenicke: "He threw some good fastballs, but not consistent."
Escobar was transported back to Maryvale Baseball Park while the clubhouse was still closed to reporters.
He has plenty of teammates rooting for a successful comeback.
"I think guys are rooting for him just because they know how good he can be," Lalli said. "You want to win, so yeah, you're rooting for him to be that good. I'm sure he didn't want this to be the outcome today."
Last call
• Monday will bring something rare for Spring Training: A true day off. Typically, Maryvale Baseball Park is buzzing even when the team doesn't play, with Minor League intrasquad games or Major League pitchers working in Minor League camp to stay on schedule. But given the length of this year's camp, a side-effect of the World Baseball Classic, the Brewers are shutting things down on Monday. Farm director Reid Nichols organized a golf tournament for players, coaches and staff.
• Manager Ron Roenicke said there was no update on the two pitchers -- Jairo Asencio and Miguel De Los Santos -- who remain delayed in the Dominican Republic by visa issues.

Charges have been filed against a man who police say was present when 16-year-old Kenyatta Winston was murdered and then helped dispose of the teen's body.
One count of second-degree felony obstruction of justice was filed Tuesday against David Angel Montes, 21, of Salt Lake City, but made public Thursday. A $250,000 warrant has been issued for Montes' arrest.
Police allege that Montes, known as "Dee," borrowed a Dodge Nitro from Jessica Reyos the day Kenyatta was last seen alive and climbing into the Nitro, according to charging documents filed in 3rd District Court.
A witness told police that Montes admitted he was present when Kenyatta was killed and had assisted in getting rid of the body by dumping it, charging documents show. Blood spatter was later found inside the Nitro, authorities allege.
Police have already arrested Frank Paul Reyos, 30, on suspicion of homicide, and his sister, Jessica Reyos, 38, and Frank Reyos' girlfriend, Brittney Montano, 21, on suspicion of helping cover up Kenyatta's death.
Police also questioned Stephon Evans, 21, Camille Lopez, 20 and Natasha Alvarado, 33, after publicly announcing investigators were seeking their whereabouts. Police also announced they were questioning Shelby Reed, 19, in connection with the death, though no warrant had been issued for her arrest.
Attorney Tyler Williams, who has been hired to represent Reed, said homicide detectives were not providing incentive for anyone to cooperate.
"Next thing I know, they're arresting Jessica and her family for obstruction of justice," Williams said. "They're trying to strong-arm these people. They're just trying to bully these people into making some sort of statement."
Salt Lake City police said they had no comment on the allegations.
Kenyatta's body was discovered Aug. 29 dumped in a vacant Sugar House lot near 1120 E. Crandall Ave. (about 2900 South). Police have not released a motive in the slaying.
Williams said police want to speak with Reed because police believe she was one of the last people to speak with Kenyatta.
He said Kenyatta, who had been acquainted with the Reyos family for a few weeks, had called Reed Aug. 26 the day he was last seen alive asking for a ride, but Reed had told him she couldn't go out.
"She has no idea about what happened," Williams said. "If somebody with the family is responsible, I think Jessica and Shelby, they want to help. They want to say what they know. Just right now, they don't know anything."
As of Thursday afternoon, no charges have been filed against anyone other than Montes.
Frank Reyos and Alvarado have been returned to state prison on unrelated parole violations. Montano remained in the Salt Lake County jail. After spending 72 hours behind bars without being charged, Jessica Reyos was released on her own recognizance, Williams said.
Evans and Lopez were questioned and released, police said Thursday.
Williams said Reed has cooperated with police and already provided them a statement. And when she expressed a willingness to come in and talk again, detectives told Williams they planned to arrest her for obstructing justice, even though they don't have a warrant.
"There's no reason for her to make these statements when they're just going to throw her in jail," he said.
Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said he cannot comment on pending investigations and noted that only one criminal case had been filed so far.
"We screen cases as they're presented to us," he said.

Hi everybody! I have been trying to look up the actual day that my T was made and the closest I am able to find is April of 1926. I guess I don't know how to access the proper site to look it up. The frame number is 13459645. Wanted to see who else was born on that day to figure a name for my roadster pickup. Thanks in advance to any and all who respond to my quest. Please lead me in the right direction! Steve
Robert ; It is April - 1 - 1926
Thanks, Anthonie! How did you come up with that date? Thanks again, Steve
Steve ; It is in the [ Bible] Model T Ford The Car That Changed The World ,from Bruce W. Mc Calley .
Thanks again! Forgot I had that book. Steve
Specifically, your car is #4756 of 7502 serial numbers issued on Thursday, April 1, 1926. I guess that would put it sometime in the afternoon or evening. The information comes from Model T Ford: The Car That Changed the World by Bruce McCalley, also commonly known as the Model T encyclopedia. You can get the book in original hardcover on ebay for big bucks, or you can get the current softcover reissue from Krause Publications for a lot less. It's also available on disk, which I like, because the disk includes a lot of original Ford literature (parts books, manuals, etc.). The information on that is here:
I believe the date is when the complete engine and transmission was assembled.
If that is true, the actual vehicle build date would be that date or a later date.
Robert asked for the day his T was made. I do not know if we can say for sure when his actual vehicle was assembled, unless it is noted in some way, such as the day they started putting serial numbers on the frame at the Highland Park assembly plant in 1925 etc.
As stated above all the engines were stamped when assembled to the transmission. And by 1926 no engines were assembled at the Highland Park plant where the cars were assembled. Not to mention by calendar year 1926 of the 1,449,111 Model Ts and TTs assembled in the USA only 89,548 were assembled at the Highland Park plant. Engines were shipped from the River Rouge to Highland Park and other assembly areas. Also, there is still a good chance that some of the branch plants were assembling engines locally. In those cases they would have been sent a "block of numbers" to stamp onto the engines they assembled. Those "block of numbers" were taken from the daily engine log numbers. And in those cases the engine would have been assembled on a later date (days, weeks, or maybe months) and placed into a car or truck at that branch. (Ref McCalley page 501.
And sometimes engines were stored for example see: http://mtfca.com/encyclo/doc24.htm see the Mar 18, 1924 entry that states:
Letter from Chicago Branch:
"We hear stories that some salesmen are telling their customers to be sure and look at the motor number of any car when they buy in order to be sure they get a late motor number. These particular salesmen are just making a lot of trouble for themselves because at the new plant we have hundreds of motors that have been standing there for thirty days or more and will be going into the cars in the course of production. This means that all dealers will receive motor numbers from the Burnham plant that will be considerably lower in number than those motors received from the Chicago plant so just stop your salesmen making any remarks at all about motor numbers because in so doing they are going to make a lot of trouble for you when we start shipping from the new plant."
A.W.L. Gilpin
Branch Manager
P.S. In correspondence the old Ford plant in Chicago is referred to as the Chicago plant and the new plant is referred to as the Burnham plant because it is near the Burnham railroad yards.
Respectfully submitted,
Hap l9l5 cut off
To all, the number I gave is the frame number only as my car has an earlier motor that does not have a number stamped in it. THANKS TO ALL WHO RESPONDED! Steve

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Euro zone factory prices fell for the first time in five months in November, pulled down by a slide in the cost of energy and giving the European Central Bank ample room to consider another interest rate cut.
Prices at factory gates in the 17 countries using the euro fell 0.2 percent in November from October, the EU's statistics office Eurostat said on Monday. Economists polled by Reuters had expected no month-on-month change in industrial producer prices.
Compared to the same month a year ago, the producer price index was up 2.1 percent in November, echoing consumer inflation that was steady at 2.2 percent in December and just above the ECB's target of close to, but not above, 2 percent.
Lower world oil prices have helped cut the cost of energy for industry and households in the euro zone since Brent crude came down from $120 a barrel in August to trade at around $110 a barrel towards the end of 2012.
Tensions between Iran and the West over Tehran's nuclear ambitions drove up the cost of energy last year, but the weak euro zone economy and falling U.S. net crude imports have tempered that. Brent crude was around $111 a barrel on Monday.
Investors and economists are looking to the ECB's monthly meeting on Thursday to see if the central bank hints at an interest rate cut early this year to reduce the cost of borrowing and help the euro zone's economy out of recession.
Inflation was stubbornly high for much of 2012 and complicated the ECB's monetary policy task, but is now more benign and most economists expect the Governing Council to cut its main interest rate by a quarter point to 0.50 percent, a new record low. That may not come this week, however.
"We expect this week's meeting to be relatively uneventful," UniCredit said in a note to clients. "The positive market mood and slowly improving cyclical conditions are likely to keep the ECB in wait-and-see mode."
Markets have rallied since U.S. lawmakers reached a last-minute agreement to avert tax hikes and spending cuts that had threatened the economy, while business surveys show the Chinese economy is growing strongly again.

Social Workers Can Help Ease the Transition to Long-Term Care
Home » About Us » News » 2011 News » Social Workers Can Help Ease the Transition to Long-Term Care
July 19, 2011
By Jennifer Martone
Remember the feeling of seeing your child off for their first day of school? That fear of the unknown can be similar when planning for skilled care for your parents.
Ask Questions
As you search, visit multiple homes and meet with the social worker. Ask many questions – take a pen and pad for notes. You can ask how often physicians visit or about regular visiting hours, salon services, meal times and choices, and whether you are able to take your parent out of the facility for day trips.
The social worker can provide guidance and help you understand the type of experience your parent can expect. Focus on finding a home that will be the best fit.
Involve Your Parent and Siblings
Social workers can also provide insight on how to discuss the need for skilled care with your parents and out-of-town siblings.
Take the time to involve your parent in the process as much as possible. Transitions are easier when they can make the choice – it offers them a feeling of control. Not all parents can be actively involved in choosing their new home, but showing them brochures or viewing the facility's website may help.
Conversations about this decision with your siblings can be very emotional and difficult, especially if they live out of town and have not been part of the day-to-day care. Be honest, and provide as much detail as possible. Everyone may not be in agreement, but ongoing communication is important.
Get to Know Your Social Worker
Once your parent has moved into their new home, always get to know your social worker. They are your advocate and liaison to all the other departments.
Attend Family Meetings
Family meetings are an opportunity to meet with the interdisciplinary team – ask when will they take place. At anytime, you should be able to call and speak with the assigned nurse or unit manager, therapist or social worker for updates.
Most facilities offer a Family Council and have monthly or quarterly meetings. This is an additional support system for the family. Ask questions as you have them.
Visit Often to Help Mom or Dad Feel at Home
An adjustment period during the transition is normal – an average of three months can be expected. Change is not easy. Rely on the expertise of your social worker and the interdisciplinary team. During this time, visit as often as you are able and get to know the staff and the other families. Getting involved will help you and your parent feel more at home!
