UPPER DELAWARE RIVER VALLEY — The Catskills and Upper Delaware River Valley have long been a Mecca for artistic expression. Painters, sculptors, photographers and writers have flocked to the region for decades, drawing inspiration from the clean air, stunning vistas and peaceful countryside that inspires. Visitors and tourists continue to explore the area and often seek unique gifts for themselves and loved ones as they scour the galleries, shops and studios of the artists who have settled here to practice their craft.
Among those who have chosen to make the mountains their home are potters Jill Weiner (www.earthgirlpottery.com) and Carolyn Duke, (www.dukepottery.com) who put their heads together almost 10 years a go and created "Handmade for the Holidays," a group effort that now encompasses more than 30 local artists and businesses that create one-of-a-kind items and gather at Duke's studio in Roscoe, NY to display their wares and mingle with the community for a few weekends each holiday season, where visitors can share a cup of warm cheer, some convivial conversation and holiday shopping.
Duke explains that "In an ongoing effort to connect with the community," the seasonal show selects "a different not-for-profit organization every year [to promote], and a portion of the proceeds goes to that deserving group. This year, a percentage of every sale will benefit [NPR affiliate] WJFF." Interspersed with the watercolors, jewelry (www.mcflashpants.com) and Duke's pinch-pots, local businesses from New York and Pennsylvania are also represented.
Holiday cards produced in Jeffersonville, NY (www.echoletterpress.com) are displayed alongside honey, dipping sauces and pancake mix (www.catskillprovisions.com), while organic coffee (www.javaloveroasters.com) and Jane Roth's hand-knit hats and scarves occupy some space in Duke's beautiful showroom nestled in the mountains. Jill Weiner's whimsical creations can be purchased as well, and many of the beautiful objects are available throughout the year, although select items are added each winter for those seeking a special gift.
An active member of the Sullivan County Visitors Association (www.scva.net), Duke reflects on what the yearly event means to her by saying that "a lot of folks who visit don't realize how many shops and artists are scattered about the area, on both sides of the Delaware River" and that "if they [the tourists] have a good time in the county, then we all win. 'Buy local/shop local' is what we're all about."
While some may be under the impression that handmade gifts are out of their price range, there is a wide variety of items and price tags at this annual show. "Where else can one purchase individually crafted silver earrings for seven dollars and fifty cents?" Duke asks while touring the showroom. On closer inspection, Jane Blake's colorful, hand painted silk scarves are reasonably priced and many items are "inexpensive and easy to ship" anywhere in the world, she concludes.
The variety of gifts is expansive and diverse. Valerie Taggart's hand-crafted ornaments are each created from dried gourds and Donna Greenthal, who teaches second grade in the Roscoe school district, has watercolors on hand for purchase. "People love her work" Duke enthuses, while explaining that Kathie Fitsgerald's lampshades, Jack Yelle's paintings and Weiner's pottery are all perennial favorites as well.
Authors and musicians are represented, too, at Handmade for the Holidays in the form of books by local authors Marcia Nehemiah, Mary Greene, Barbara Winfield, Wendy Townsend, Joe Freda and Stacy Wakefield and Jazz pianist Kazzrie Jaxen's new CD, "A Million Shimmering Fish," debuts alongside recordings from "A Weekend of Chamber Music" and more. Furniture, soaps, handbags and greeting cards line the walls at Duke Pottery, as well as hand-spun wool, Claire Coleman's tutus for the kids and sheepskin rugs produced by Apple Pond Farm.
A dizzying array of gifts await, all destined to become family heirlooms in homes around the world as visitors shop, schmooze and (in some cases) meet with the artists, during the three weekends that Handmade for the Holidays welcomes guests, beginning on November 30 and running through December 15 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. While these dates are specific to the seasonal display of gifts, Duke points out that hundreds of items are available all year long and that visitors can stop by the showroom most days.

Amputations due to ischemia more likely in blacks and Hispanics than in whites
Non-white patients with severe circulatory problems, or ischemia, are significantly more likely than white patients to undergo lower-limb amputation regardless of economic and additional health factors, a Yale study has found. The study appears in the March 20 issue of JAMA Surgery, a publication of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Prior studies have shown that whites suffering from critical lower extremity ischemia are significantly more likely than non-whites to undergo an attempt at revascularization, a procedure that increases blood flow and can save limbs that are in jeopardy as the result of blocked arteries. The Yale study utilized a comprehensive national database to further elucidate this disparity with a focus on the role of race, and the influence of financial resources and access to high-quality vascular care.
The Yale team analyzed hospital discharge records from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample of adult patients from 2002 to 2008, the largest in-patient care database available in the United States. They obtained nearly three-quarters of a million patient records.
They combed through the data, correcting for factors such as socioeconomic status and access to advanced vascular care, as well as additional factors — the severity of underlying diseases such as diabetes and chronic renal failure (which were more prevalent in the black and Hispanic patients), and hypertension, congestive heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (which were more prevalent in the white patients).
When all the possible contributory factors were analyzed, the one that was independently most predictive of an adverse outcome was race. Black patients had nearly twice the chance of undergoing an amputation as did white patients. Hispanic patients were more likely than whites but less likely than blacks to undergo an amputation. Furthermore, the racial disparity actually increased in hospitals that had a greater capacity for limb-saving procedures.
"In our study, race itself appeared to be a significant factor in the surgical treatment a patient received, independent of other variables such as severity of circulation impairment at presentation, insurance or socioeconomic status, other medical problems, and the capacity of the hospital to save a limb through revascularization," said senior author Dr. Richard Gusberg, professor of surgery and diagnostic radiology at Yale School of Medicine.
"Further studies are needed to better understand the reasons for these diverse outcomes," Gusberg emphasized. "There may be relevant patient-related or disease-related factors that could not be fully accounted for in our database and complex financial factors that were not addressed specifically in this study. Hopefully, with better understanding will come better and more equitable care." Other authors are Tyler Durazzo and Stanley Frencher of Yale School of Medicine.

BRUSSELS, June 18 (UPI) -- The British government supports ambitious energy targets for European countries but not in a binding way, British Energy Minister Ed Davey said in Brussels.
Davey told climate negotiators Tuesday he was backing a "robust" framework for energy targets for 2030.
Climate leaders in the European Union are reviewing targets for 2030. Goals for 2020 call for a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a 20 percent increase in renewable energy use, based on a benchmark set in the 1990s.
Davey said the European Union should strive for an emissions reduction of 50 percent for 2030 goals
"Ambitious, yes, but if we are flexible in how we work to hit it a 50 percent target, it will be cost effective too, contributing to growth and maintaining competitiveness," he said.
A 2012 report from the International Labor Organization said at least half of the global workforce -- about 1.5 billion people -- would be affected by the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Davey said warming trends suggested science supported the drive for a greener future, but world leaders needed some degree of flexibility when considering how to usher in that future.
For that reason, he said, the British government does not support binding energy mandates for 2030.

Data Recovery
Software Services
you experienced data loss from a hard drive, or CD, flash card or other data media.
you trying to recover your vital records information that you had stored on a protected file? Looking for a data recovery tool or data recovery software package to bring your
data back? You've come to the right place.
About Data Recovery Software Services
Data Recovery Software Services offers decades of hard disk data recovery experience, with a professional, service driven focus. This service pledge means we can take on virtually any data recovery request, even when your media or operating system has specialized proprietary features. We also pledge to be there for our customers 24 hours per day, and seven days per week. Contacting us is simple. Contact us here, or if you have suffered a catastrophic data loss, click here for a free quote on our specialized hard disk recovery services.
Catastrophic Data Loss
When your hard drive or storage media has a physical or mechanical issue, or your system features a non-Microsoft operating system, you may need data recovery services outside the bounds of our software products. In this case, we offer competitive, flat rate pricing on in-house hard disk data recovery services. And, in rare situations where we cannot recover your data, you pay nothing. Affordability and quick turnaround are our main service keystones, ensuring that your data recovery job is always executed quickly, and inexpensively. Our data recovery turnaround time is typically 24-48 hours.
Data Recovery Software
What many shops in the data recovery
industry do not tell you is that often specialized data recovery tools are not
needed to recovery files and data you may have lost. In fact, software will usually
do the job effectively, and with great cost savings. What's more, our data recovery
software products can be used again and again, an advantage that hundreds of corporate
IT departments across the United States and Canada have experienced. To see how
our products can help you retrieve data, please
click here.
These data recovery software programs should be updated on regular basis to keep up with changes in technology. You can also provide them with old and unused media storage devices for practicing how to perform these duties. You should also advise workers to take notes for reference purposes. Training can also be offered by specialized data handlers and vendors of this software. This is either offered at a fee or after purchasing these tools.
This knowledge is also good for their career prospects in the information technology industry. However, you should also train them on the professionalism required when handling user data. This is because they will be entrusted with a company's confidential information which they should handle in a skilled manner.
The most common causes are viruses, software collision and physical damage on a PC. This means that to become a data specialist, you have to equip yourself with all the relevant expertise. A good experience and skill surrounding the recovery of lost files is essential in order to cope with challenges and queries from potential clients.
You are also required to maintain a good reputation and strategies to market your business venture extensively. A good reputation is earned through practicing high levels of integrity and good customer care. You should handle personal and company information with a high level of professionalism. This is due to the sensitive nature of files stored by businesses or private individuals.
Many computer programs are created for retrieval of files saved in a computer. These applications vary depending on compatibility, user requirements, price tag and type of data recovered. This means that you should have all these software packages in order to cater for all clients despite their diversity.
Things to Do Before Attempting Data Recovery
Almost every data recovery process always has to follow a sequence of assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention and evaluation. Before you conclude that you have data loss and before you attempt to run hard disk recovery programs, begin with the assessment phase first.
Assess and scrutinize the problem. If you're having problems with getting access to your files, find out possible reasons aside from hard disk failure. You have to do a thorough system search of the file because you could have misplaced or deleted the file accidentally. Virus could also play a role in data loss situations. Thus, there is also a need for you to run a systematic virus scan.
Some data recovery software allows you to recover data that has been corrupted by a computer virus. Also, assess if your hard drive is physically damaged. If your hard drive produces a strange clicking sound while spinning, or is not recognized by the computer, you should immediately backup your data while you still can and turn off the device once you're finished.
When your good judgment tells you that you have a severe case of hard drive damage, turn the machine immediately and rush your drive to a professional recovery service. Once you have established and furnished your assessment data on the problem, you can now proceed with data recovery on your damaged hard drives.

Kim Kardashian vs. Justin Bieber: Whose 'Most Liked' Instagram Photo Deserves the Title? – Readers Pollby Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber rule their own separate corners of the social media universe. Each has her or his legions of fans that will like and share just about everything the two stars post on Twitter and Instagram. Up until recently, Justin Bieber held the record for the photo with the most ever 'likes' on Instagram, but Kim swept in with her hugely anticipated wedding with Kanye West and stole the prize. Who do you think is most deserving of the record?
We have to admit, the photo Justin posted that first earned him the 'most likes' is a pretty sweet pic. In the Insta you can see Justin being hugged from behind by his on-again, off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez. At the time the photo was posted, it was huge news to Beliebers and Selenators everywhere, as it was the first confirmation that the singers were once again back together. The romantic selfie racked up over 1.8 million likes and has since become a somewhat iconic part of the Jelena fandom. The photo clearly means a lot to both Justin and Selena fans — no wonder it kept the record for so long!
Kim K. took the entire media world by storm with her wedding to Kanye. The megastar couple struck a clever balance between releasing just enough information about the wedding to excite fans, while leaving all the details a big mystery to keep everyone guessing. It brewed a media frenzy. Every detail and photo released before and after the ceremony was eagerly absorbed. It's no wonder, then, that the wedding shot that the newlywed posted of herself and Kanye sharing their first kiss received an explosion of attention. Within two days it had beat Justin's record, and in the week since it was posted, it has earned over 2.1 million likes!
Both photos are sweet in their own ways, showing off the new or old love between two high-profile couples. So what do you think, PopCrushers? Should Justin's photo of Selena have kept the record-breaking title or did Kim and Kanye deserve their wedding sweep?

text: A team of Japanese engineers has done the unthinkable and unforgivable: taken a mint condition 1967 Toyota 2000GT and turned it into a solar-powered EV. Yes, that 2000GT. The one that proved Japan could build supercars. The one in the Bond film, the one that routinely sells for more than the median home price in Boston. It was the Lexus LF-A of its day, only with more soul. We love electric vehicles, and we love solar cars. But you don't just paint over a Rivera or tear down the Palast Der Republik just because they're representative of an outdated or failed ideology. The loss of a pristine 2000GT is even more upsetting because it's a hidden gem of a golden era, a relative historical footnote alongside flashier Ferraris and muscle-bound Mustangs. It's with a heavy heart that we present the Toyota 2000GT SEV "Crazy Car Project." If you're a fan of the new Penn Station or think Bamiyan looks better without those Buddhas, have a look.The Before Picture It's a distant memory now, but Japanese cars of the 1960s were tinny, small and cheap. That all changed with the Toyota 2000GT, the first supercar from a Japanese manufacturer. Built as a partnership by Toyota and Yamaha, the cars featured five-speed manual transmissions and the first four-wheel disc brake setup on a Japanese car. Though it's widely speculated that Toyota built the cars as loss leaders to prove its technological expertise, the cars sold for far more than contemporary Porsches and Jaguars. In a review, Road & Track favorably compared the 2000GT to the Porsche 911, high praise indeed.The 2000GT also was as rare as any Italian supercar: Just 337 were built, including two special open-roof cars for the James Bond film You Only Live Twice.Corporate Culture Shock The conversion team — called the "Crazy Car Project" — was comprised of engineers from such companies as Panasonic, Denso and Aisin. Toyota was heavily involved with the destruction of its own history, which is akin to ancient warriors defacing statues of themselves.From 31 MPG to Pure Solar EV The original 2000GT was remarkably efficient. The lightweight (less than 2,500 pounds) aluminum car featured a 2.0-liter straight six good for 150 horsepower. It could deliver 31 mpg — and reach a top speed of 135 mph. That wasn't good enough for the Crazy Car Project team, however, which installed a solar panel on the hood and lithium-ion batteries and an electric motor within the car's gorgeous bodywork. The team didn't provide any further specs on the EV drivetrain. Yes, we asked.New Shoes The group spent half a year converting the 2000GT to an EV. During the process, it not only ditched the internal combustion engine, but also painted the exterior and swapped out the wheels and tires.Interior Decorating Even the inside of the 2000GT was remade. Where it once featured a cockpit considered high-end for the late '60s — including lots of leather, an auto-tuning radio, rosewood dashboard and beautiful mahogany steering wheel — the solarized Toyota got Alcantara upholstery and seven all-new EV-specific gauges.New Look, New Sound Most electric vehicles are all but silent, emitting little more than tire noise and the hum of an electric motor. But the team working on this 2000GT couldn't let it pass in dignified silence. In keeping with the "Crazy Car" theme, engineers wired it to play recordings of a revving engine, accelerating airplane, rocket on liftoff or galloping horse. Galloping horse?What's My Name? Customized labeling adorns the converted 2000GT. Logos on the door sills light up when the car is turned on.Two Weeks To Charge Amazingly, there's no plug on this EV. The only way to charge it is through the solar panel on the hood, a process that takes up to two weeks. At least we know the new owners won't be putting many miles on the car.Divided Opinion The end result has drawn mixed reactions, according to project spokeswoman Anna Kihara. "We've gotten opinions on the different ends of the spectrum," Kihara said. "Some people didn't like the idea, but there are many positive opinions like, 'This conversion is appropriate for a 2000GT' [or] 'This is [a] fusion of tradition and leading-edge technology." You already know where our opinion falls. http://www.youtube.com/embed/5euR7Q-igz8Photos: Crazy Car Project

Revision as of 08:00, 9 February 2016
Currently, our Encoded Archival Description finding aids (EADs, reference http://www.loc.gov/ead/ ) are being created in Archivists Toolkit.
We had originally set up capabilities for archivists to add links to digitized content into the EADs for small collections (Here are the instructions for Obtaining PURLs for online content) -- but they didn't have the time to do so.
My first round of automation matched up the box and folder as entered in the MODS to the box and folder as entered in the EAD, normalizing these values as much as possible, and NOT linking anything into the EAD if the box/folder entry appeared more than once. Items were entered in the order digitized, as determined by the item number. After some tinkering, I pulled the titles from the MODS and added them to the EADs.
My second round of automation was for mass digitization, where we created stub MODS for the items automagically, and entered these into the EADs originally as Item 1, Item 2, etc., in the correct box/folder as indicated in the item identifier. When we then moved to digitizing larger collections (couldn't fit the box and folder numbers into the item number), I modified this to pull the information from a simple tab-delimited spreadsheet export that indicated the box/folder value for each item.
My third round of automation was for item-level described image collections, where the itemID value in the EAD contained something I could (usually) map to our item identifiers. For some collections, this requires a Match file (tab-delimited spreadsheet exports to match up original photo id with the assigned digital identifier).
Then the archivists began adding item-level image entries (from a different collection number, as represented in our online database) into manuscript EADs that also had box/folder entries for the manuscript items. So I had to run the same EADs through multiple processes, every time they updated them.
And they became hard pressed to produce multiple EADs, not spending any time on any of them, really -- and not having time to flesh out older ones they'd begun, or never processed even to the series level.
At this point, the linking process had become quite complex, and was taking several hours each month.
So I combined all the above processes, and expanded our linking software to do several things:
- add links based on itemId into image EADs and manuscript EADs (regardless of digital collection number);
- add links based on box & folder value metadata matches, in order of digitization, pulling titles from the MODS
- If the box/folder value is linked multiple times, adds new box/folder entry following the last one, and inserts links there (thus does not assume title matches the entry)
- add boxes and folders that follow the ones in the EAD (assumes that processing started at the beginning of the collection, and/or boxes), links in content
- add boxes and folders to EADs with none, and links in content
- add links for content to EADs where neither EAD nor MODS have box/folder entries
- transform itemID values indicating numerical sequence into potential item identifiers, and checks for match, then links if available (example: "Item 2" or "Artifact 12")
This still fails to link in:
- content from folders & boxes that precede those listed in the EADs
- content for which we cannot determine the correct identifier from the itemId in the EAD
- content for which we cannot match the box/folder entry in the MODS to what's in the EAD
- content for which we cannot parse the box/folder entry, or there isn't any in the MODS, but there's box/entry values in the EAD
Still, these changes have enabled me to link in over 9500 more items into the finding aids. And combining the multiple linking scripts and workflows has enabled me to automate the process, saving me several hours per month.
We now (January 2014) have well over 68,000 digitized items linked into well over 300 collection EADs.
Here are specifics for what those tags may look like: Scripted Links in EADs
Examples of these can be found in Amelia Gayle & Josiah Gorgas collection, UA Photos, and Septimus Cabaniss Collection.
More info about this process can be found in EADs.

There are Hollywood romances, and then there are superstar romances, and no superstar romance ever managed to cram as much scandal, star power and unabashed sexual attraction into one gaudy package as the affair, marriage, divorce, second marriage and second divorce of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Their tumultuous liaison — before the marriages and divorces — famously began in 1962 on the set of the colossally over-budget epic, Cleopatra. Fodder for gossip columns and tabloids, all these years later their affair remains the gold standard for famous folks behaving badly on movie sets. (Of course, their behavior seems downright quaint, and even circumspect, compared to the squalid hijinks of many of today's celebs.)
Here, on the 50th anniversary of the movie's June 12, 1963, release in the U.S., LIFE presents a series of photographs — most of which never ran in LIFE — made on the Roman set of Cleopatra by photographer Paul Schutzer.
The story behind the making of Cleopatra is now, of course, part of movie lore. Originally budgeted at around $2 million, that number eventually ballooned to more than $30 million ($200 million-plus in today's dollars) due to all sorts of issues — not least of which was that the sets, costumes and everything else had to be produced twice. The filmmakers originally began shooting in London, but were forced to move the entire production to Rome after six miserable months in England.
The Taylor-Burton romance, meanwhile, erupted early on in the filming. Both were married, but all available evidence suggests that neither worked very hard to hide their mutual attraction from anyone.
For example, in notes sent to LIFE's editors by correspondent Nadine Liber, it's clear that the two stars could not have cared less what anyone thought of their conduct.
"Liz, on set, looks absolutely relaxed," Liber wrote from Rome in March 1962. "In between takes she stays always with Burton, who jokes with her all the time. ... Whatever relationship there is between Liz and Burton, they've decided to make the fact they enjoy each other as obvious as the famous nose on Cleo's face."
[See more in the gallery, "Elizabeth Taylor: Photos From a Legendary Life."]
Liber went on to note that when shooting her scenes, Taylor showed "an immediate and right understanding of what [director Joseph L.] Mankiewicz expects from her. ... As someone said about Liz, 'that woman has more power than Cleopatra ever had.' Maybe that is why while Rex Harrison [Julius Caesar] and Richard Burton [Mark Antony] intellectualize and study their parts, Liz seems to let herself be herself."
What many film buffs don't remember about Cleopatra is that, while it remains one of the most expensive movies ever made and the cast and crew had to cope with some fairly outrageous distractions — Taylor and Burton not least among them — the film was not the unmitigated bomb of legend. It was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won four, while some reviewers, although certainly not the majority, praised it as a genuinely entertaining, impressively ambitious spectacle.
Taylor and Burton married (after divorcing Eddie Fisher and Sybil Williams, respectively) in 1964. Their first marriage lasted until 1974. They married again in 1975; that one lasted less than a year. Whether one considers them as two halves of the Romance of the Century or the Scandal of the Century, it's clear that the two movie stars were both incapable of doing anything halfway.

The cold, clear water found in mountain streams and lakes may look
appealing but often contains Giardia lamblia, the
parasite that causes
giardiasis. On short hikes, you may be able to carry
from home enough water to drink. But when you are camping and backpacking, you
often need to use other water sources. Water from pumps in campgrounds is
usually safe, but if a sign tells you that the water is not safe or if you have
any doubts, treat the water before you use it.
To avoid infection with Giardia lamblia and
other parasites, use one of these purification methods:

Ashley Brown, 16, and Alicia Bonura, 18, both of Beaumont, Texas, died March 29, 2006. They were on a bus carrying their West Brook High School soccer team when it overturned near Devers, Texas, on its way to a playoff game in Humble.
Steve Forman's daughter Allison was among 21 other team members who were injured. "Once she regained enough consciousness, to have to tell her that her two friends were dead, I think that's the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life," Forman said.
Allison, who was 17 at the time, was ejected through the window, and she underwent four operations to reconstruct her arm, which was pinned beneath the bus for an hour.
Steve Forman and Brad Brown, Ashley's father, are convinced that things would have been very different if only the bus had been equipped with seat belts.
On Sept. 1, more than four years after the West Brook bus crash, a Texas law went into effect requiring some school buses to have seat belts. But "Ashley's and Alicia's Law" — the result of lobbying by Brown, Forman and other Texas parents — is now in limbo because of a Texas Education Agency contention that it isn't really mandatory because the Legislature cut the money to pay for it by two-thirds.
Kids in Texas aren't the exception. Most school buses in the United States don't have seat belts or similar restraints to protect children in an accident. Federal law requires them in buses under 10,000 pounds, but that's only a small proportion of the school buses in use — picture those tiny 6- to 12-seater buses you sometimes see, which are usually fully tricked out for transporting disabled and other special-needs pupils. They're treated like cars, light trucks and passenger vehicles because of their similar low weight and center of gravity.
But the standard long yellow school bus, which makes up about 80 percent of the nation's fleet, weighs in about 23,000 pounds, and its passengers sit much higher, making them safer in collisions. For those, federal education and transportation agencies leave the decision up to the states. And so far, only six require seat belts to be installed (see box below).
If cars have seat belts, why aren't they generally required in school buses? Because modern school buses are already remarkably safe, and because seat belts don't work the same way in buses as they do cars, research shows.
Numerous federal and academic studies have concluded that school buses are the safest form of ground transportation of all, in fact. The National Safety Council says they're about 40 times safer than the family car.
About 440,000 public school buses carry 24 million children more than 4.3 billion miles a year, but only about six children die each year in bus accidents, according to annual statistics compiled the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. About 800 children, by contrast, die every year walking, biking or being driven to school in cars or other passenger vehicles, said Ron Medford, the agency's deputy director.
That's because designers of modern school buses don't trust squirmy children to use seat belts properly. Instead, they use a passive system called compartmentalization. Bus seats aren't packed so closely together just to maximize capacity (although that's one reason); they're spaced tightly and covered with 4-inch-thick foam to form a protective bubble.
In a crash, "The child will go against the seat, and that will absorb most of the impact," said John Hamilton, transportation director for the Jackson County, Fla., school board. "Plus, it's a safety device so that they won't be projecting through the air."
Cost and risks of seat belts
School and transportation officials cite two other main reasons for declining to install seat belts:
• Cost. Separate studies by the NHTSA and the University of Alabama (.pdf) concluded that installing seat belts would add anywhere from $8,000 to $15,000 to the cost of a new bus while having little to no impact on safety.
Seat belts would also take up room that's now used for seats, meaning "fewer children can be accommodated on each row," according to the Alabama study. That could require school systems to increase their bus fleets by as much as 15 percent just to transport the same number of pupils, it suggested.
"The cost of installing seat belts on every bus at once is prohibitive," said the authors of the Alabama study, the October release of which was highly anticipated by school officials nationwide because it is among the first large-scale analyses of the subject.
Seat belts would have to be phased in over a decade at a minimum cost of $117 million per state. That cost could be prohibitive, "especially when the nation is dealing with an economic downturn," the study said.
• Safety. Numerous safety agencies say seat belts aren't the best choice for children, which is why nearly all states require container-like full car seats for younger kids in passenger cars.
"Lap/shoulder belts can be misused and NHTSA's testing showed that serious neck injury and perhaps abdominal injury could result when lap/shoulder belts are misused," the NHTSA warned in its study, adding that "increased capital costs, reduced seating capacities, and other unintended consequences associated with lap/shoulder belts could result in more children seeking alternative means of traveling to and from school."
"Even the smallest reduction in the number of bus riders could result in more children being killed or injured when using alternative forms of transportation," it said.Moreover, passengers have to remain seated and locked in for seat belts to work, but as any parent can tell you, children and adolescents don't sit still.
In a report this year (.pdf), the Texas Transportation Institute of Texas A&M University told the Legislature, which was considering funding for the state's new seat-belt law, that asking bus drivers to monitor compliance was unrealistic.
"The highest priority has to be a focus on the driving task," said the institute. It said that seat belts could offer some safety benefits, but only "under a limited range of conditions," and counseled that they "should not be considered an all-purpose preventative measure."
The Alabama study drew a similar conclusion, reporting that "enforcement by the driver is almost impossible" and quoting drivers' concerns that they could be held legally liable if a child was injured while not using his or her seat belt properly.
'Costs far exceed benefits'
Taking all those factors into account, many transportation safety experts conclude that seat belts aren't worth it.
"Costs far exceed benefits, and school bus seat belts appear to be less cost-effective than
other types of safety treatments," the Alabama study declared. The NHTSA said its research, going back to 1987, suggests that the benefits are "insufficient to justify a federal requirement for mandatory installation of such belts" in larger buses.
"Most school bus passenger fatalities are because the passenger's seating position was in direct line with the crash forces, and seat belts would not have prevented these fatalities," Medford, deputy head of the NHTSA, told school transportation officials at a meeting in Washington in April (transcript .pdf).
Numerous other organizations cite similar cost and safety issues in opposing mandatory seat belts, including the National Association for Pupil Transportation, the National School Transportation Association and the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services.
That doesn't persuade parents like Brad Brown, however. He continues to push Texas officials to fund and enforce the new state law that's named after his daughter and her friend "so no other dad has to bury a 16-year-old daughter simply because proper safety measures weren't taken."
If the West Brook bus had been equipped with seat belts on that day in 2006, "I'm certain Ashley would have survived and many of the other girls would have escaped serious injury."
"Parents expect better," he said.

Venezuela's vote Sunday could make or break Hugo Chavez
CARACAS, Venezuela — In a vote with huge ramifications, Venezuelans will decide Sunday whether to give President Hugo Chavez the chance to remain in power indefinitely.
Approving Chavez's proposal to scrap term limits would give fresh momentum to his socialist revolution. Defeating the measure would weaken his political legitimacy, undermining his grand ambitions at home and abroad.
Polls indicate that the result is too close to call, although Chavez seems a slight favorite since he's marshaled the entire machinery of government behind his bid to keep power past the scheduled end of his term in 2013.
Undecided Venezuelans such as Jesus Infante, a 23-year-old clothing store salesman, will spell the difference.
"Chavez has done a lot of good things for the poor, but I don't like how he is always getting into fights with other foreign leaders," Infante said. "I haven't heard a convincing argument yet by either side."
Chavez has become a 21st Century populist strongman during his 10 years as president.
He has used a windfall from high oil prices to shower billions of dollars on Venezuela's downtrodden while managing the economy and marginalizing his critics.
Chavez also has forged an anti-U.S. bloc, sending billions of dollars to Cuba, Bolivia and other like-minded nations in Latin America that oppose free trade and capitalism.
Sunday's election is being closely watched from Washington to Havana to Brasilia.
"What happens in Venezuela will affect what happens in Bolivia, El Salvador, Peru, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Guatemala, Argentina and elsewhere in the hemisphere," said Jorge Quiroga, a former Bolivian president and a Chavez critic, in an interview. "You can plot the matrix: The stronger Chavez is at home, the more meddlesome he is abroad. Latin America has never seen a man as politically talented, as wildly ambitious and as incredibly well-funded trying to establish a project like he's trying to do in the hemisphere."
Chavez's behavior in Venezuela and beyond worries U.S. policymakers. Since the U.S. buys most of Venezuela's oil, however, American consumers ironically have been financing a good portion of his government's anti-U.S. activities.
Chavez is trying to join two leftist allies — Ecuador's Rafael Correa and Bolivia's Evo Morales — in winning public approval to extend his time in office.
This is Chavez's second attempt to be given the right to remain in power as long as he wins elections. In December 2007, Venezuelans narrowly defeated his first campaign, which sought 69 changes to the constitution. It was the only national election that he's lost.
Many previous Chavez voters stayed home rather than cast a ballot against the 2007 measure. There are roughly 16.7 million registered voters in Venezuela, and voting isn't mandatory as it is in other Latin American countries.
This year, Chavez has mounted an aggressive campaign to make sure that his supporters return to the fold.
Analysts think that Chavez is holding the latest referendum now because he thinks that his popularity is about to wane as the Venezuelan economy gets pummeled by low global oil prices and by the U.S. economic slowdown and rising prices within Venezuela.
Asdrubal Oliveros, a Caracas-based economic consultant, is predicting stagflation in 2009. He expects that growth will drop from 4.9 percent in 2008 to 0.5 percent in 2009 while inflation will rise from 31 percent to 40 percent. Venezuela already has Latin America's highest inflation rate.
As president, Chavez has halved poverty, but violent crime is rising and shortages of food and other basic goods persist. Toilet paper disappeared for store shelves for several days last week.
The referendum asks voters to mark "si" or "no" whether they favor abolishing term limits not only for Chavez but all elected officials.
"He has an obsession about staying in power," said Carlos Vecchio, a Chavez critic from Caracas who heads a coalition of opposition groups called Comando Angostura.
Chavez seems to be taking no chances that he'll lose again.
State workers have been leaving their jobs to go door to door in slum neighborhoods. "Si" billboards and posters are up throughout Caracas, even alongside the highway that connects inland Caracas to the international airport.
While some opposition ads ran on government television stations in 2007, none do now.
Thugs allied with the government have roughed up opponents. Chavez supporters have occupied Metro Caracas City Hall rather, forcing the newly elected opposition mayor to work elsewhere.
Government officials have denied eight march permits to referendum opponents while freely granting them to referendum supporters.
Both sides have hurled insults at the other, as has been typical during political campaigns during the polarized Chavez years.
The president has lambasted his opponents as lackeys of the U.S., accusing them of "lies" and "fear-mongering."
The opposition has broadcast television ads telling viewers to say no to arbitrary layoffs and homeless children in the street.
Chavez opponents say they'll staff all of the more than 11,000 voting precincts throughout Venezuela in an effort to prevent government officials from engaging in vote fraud.
Chavez supporters have become a ubiquitous presence with their red t-shirts.
Asked why they support the president, they cite government anti-poverty programs that dispense food, health care and education, often with the assistance of Cuban teachers and doctors.
"They donated a hearing aid for my 12-year-old son," said Angie Medina, 27.
Felix Canache, a 55-year-old worker for a cement company nationalized by the government, said a government program allowed his son to get a high school degree and become an electrician.
"This country would fall into chaos without Chavez," said Pedro Romero, a 47-year-old copy machine repairman.
University student leaders have formed the vanguard of public opposition. They turned out tens of thousands of Chavez opponents for a street protest in the heart of Caracas eight days before the referendum.
"No is no," read one popular t-shirt, a reference to voters having already rejected Chavez's proposal in December 2007.
Another t-shirt mocked Chavez by printing an 1819 quotation from Simon Bolivar, the 19th century Venezuelan independence leader who's the president's hero.
"Nothing is as dangerous as letting the same citizen remain in power for a long time," read the Bolivar quote.
"I also want to be president," another t-shirt taunted.
Betty Duran, a 41-year-old school bus driver, was among the marchers.
"I don't want Venezuela to become another Cuba," Duran said. "That's what Chavez wants."

After speculation, the FIA announced Friday it has accepted a bid from NASCAR team owner Gene Haas to bring an American team to F1 in 2015.
According to Reuters, the FIA approved Haas Formula LLC's bid and also said today a team by Colin Kolles is being considered as well.
Haas released a statement saying how pleased he was with the decision and the chance to bring an American team back to the sport.
It's an exciting time for me, Haas Automation and anyone who wanted to see an American team return to Formula One. Now, the really hard work begins. It's a challenge we embrace as we work to put cars on the grid. I want to thank the FIA for this opportunity and the diligence everyone put forth to see our license application come to fruition.
Oh, and Bernie Ecclestone was a beacon of hope last week in Bahrain when asked about new teams:
Whether they'll make it or not is another story.

Despite mass protests, accusations of rigged elections, a brief hunger strike by a prince and a threatened boycott of parliament by his rivals, the long-ruling Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen remains firmly in control.
After his worst poll result in 15 years and a series of demonstrations drawing tens of thousands of people, experts say the former Khmer Rouge fighter-turned-prime minister must realize that something has to change.
"Hun Sen got a huge kick — a huge wake-up call — during the election," Cambodian Center for Human Rights president Ou Virak said. "So I think Hun Sen is getting the message that people are not happy with the way he runs the country."
Three days of demonstrations descended into violence earlier this month when a protester was shot dead as security forces clashed with a stone-throwing crowd.
Cambodia's political crisis faces a crucial juncture this week with the opposition set to boycott parliament when it convenes today unless Hun Sen agrees to its demand for an independent probe into the disputed July polls.
Several rounds of talks between Hun Sen and Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy over the past week failed to break the deadlock, raising fears of a protracted dispute and further mass protests. The two sides agreed to seek a nonviolent solution to the impasse and made a vague pledge to set up a mechanism to bring about election reform.
The key demand of the opposition Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP) is for an independent "truth committee" to investigate Hun Sen's controversial election victory. On that, the prime minister has refused to budge.
The crisis took a new twist on Friday when a pro-opposition Cambodian prince — the cousin of Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni — went on hunger strike in protest at Hun Sen's contested win, demanding "justice for voters."
His protest ended on Saturday after military police expelled him from the pagoda where he was holding the hunger strike.
Experts say that ultimately the emergence of a more vocal and emboldened opposition should be positive for a country that has been run almost single-handedly by Hun Sen for 28 years.
"We're moving towards a two-party system, which is good for the country, for a healthy democracy," said independent analyst Lao Mong Hay, a former researcher for the Asian Human Rights Commission.
According to official results of the July election, the Cambodian People's Party won 68 seats against 55 for the CNRP.
The opposition has rejected the tally, alleging widespread vote irregularities.
The CNRP has warned of further protests unless Hun Sen agrees to its demands, which also include an overhaul of the National Election Committee. The questions now, say experts, are how much ground Hun Sen will be willing to cede to the opposition and how his rivals will use their new-found political clout.
"The natural role of the opposition in Cambodia in the past has been defensive, the role of a victim, impulsive and not very disciplined," said Jackson Cox, an analyst with the consultancy firm Woodmont International. "They should and must demonstrate they are not the opposition party of the past. They have to act proactively."
The CNRP faces a dilemma — if it refuses to compromise, it risks losing its voice in parliament. However, if it strikes a deal with Hun Sen that leaves the strongman in power, then it could face a backlash from its supporters who appear hungry for change.

An unlocked panel door leading to a battery shut-off switch made it easy for a group of teenage criminals to disable a CTA bus, then climb aboard the darkened vehicle and attack its passengers, transit officials said Monday.
"Although the external shut-off switch panels on buses are equipped with locks to prevent tampering, it has been determined that the lock (on this bus) was not engaged,'' CTA spokeswoman Catherine Hosinski said.
CTA officials are investigating why the compartment housing the battery kill switch was left unlocked before the attack Saturday night in the 600 block of East 71st Street, Hosinski said.
Officials with the bus drivers union, however, said CTA policy requires bus mechanics to keep the compartment housing the battery-disconnect switch unlocked to allow easy access by firefighters in the event of an electrical fire or other emergency that would require shutting down power on a bus.
"The compartment should be closed by key, even though it is a flimsy lock. But maintenance is instructed not to lock it,'' said Javier Perez, international vice president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 241, which represents CTA bus drivers and mechanics.
Decals near the compartment door are meant to alert the police and fire departments to the shut-off switch, but the stickers also serve as a tip-off to anybody with bad intentions.
"Bus operators have been complaining for years about kids turning off the battery power on buses as a prank, especially on school runs,'' said Carlos Acevedo, an 18-year CTA mechanic and assistant to the trustees at Local 241. It requires drivers to get out of the bus and reset the switch, he said.
Even if the compartment is locked, it can be easily opened with a knife, Acevedo said. He added that bus drivers have asked for more secure locks, but the request was turned down because of emergency-response issues.
The incident Saturday night was far from a youthful prank, prosecutors said. Four teenagers beat and robbed passengers, police said. The assailants, two 17-year-olds and two 13-year-olds, were arrested on charges ranging from robbery to battery, police said.
The external shut-off switch is a safety feature that cuts power to a bus except for a few components, Hosinski said.
Latest Breaking News
The switch allows mechanics to work on a bus without the risk of someone inadvertently starting up the engine, she said. It also enables emergency responders to quickly and safely shut off a bus engine and remove battery power, both of which can feed a potential fire, she said.
The CTA issued a reminder to all bus personnel to follow standard operating procedures and check buses to ensure the access panels are locked before taking a bus into service, Hosinski said.
"Prior to us implementing the locks, we conferred with Chicago Fire Department officials,'' she said. "It was decided that emergency-responders could break into the locked compartments with their fire axes.''

What Kind of Sound Files Can I Use in My PowerPoint 2007 Slides?
PowerPoint comes with sound files you can insert into your PowerPoint slides. Windows comes with some useful sounds, too. If you have access to the Web, you have access to an unlimited supply of sounds. Sound files consume large amounts of hard drive space. Even a few seconds of sound can take 100K or more.
PowerPoint allows you to use two basic varieties of sound files:
Wave files: Wave files contain digitized recordings of real sounds. These sounds can be sound effects, such as cars screeching, guns firing, or drums rolling; music; or even quotes from movies or your favorite TV shows.
Wave files come in several formats:
WAV: Windows and PowerPoint come with a collection of WAV files that provide simple sound effects such as swooshes, blips, applause, and drum rolls.
MP3 and WMA: For longer sound clips, such as complete songs, the popular formats to use include MP3, a compressed format that is popular for sounds obtained from the Internet, and WMA, a newer audio format developed by Microsoft for newer versions of Windows. You can tell the format of a sound file by the filename's extension (.MP3 or .WMA).
MIDI files: MIDI files contain music stored in a form that the sound card's synthesizer can play. Windows comes with several MIDI files, and you can download many more from the Internet. MIDI files have the file extension .mid.
You're more likely to use wave files than MIDI files in a PowerPoint presentation. MIDI files are great for playing music, but the wave files enable you to add a wider variety of sounds to a presentation.

The Holiday Bowl will enter a new era in 2014 as it begins a six-year partnership with the Big Ten Conference and extends its current relationship with the Pac-12 Conference for six years, bowl officials announced today.
Click here to listen to the official announcement featuring Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott, and Holiday Bowl Executive Director Bruce Binkowski.
The Holiday Bowl will have the second pick from the Pac-12 after the College Football Playoff structure per selection guidelines established by the Conference. The Alamo Bowl has the first selection. The Big Ten team will be determined after discussion between bowl and conference officials to create the best possible matchup.
"We are entering a new and exciting time for the Holiday Bowl," said Bill Geppert, 2013 Bowl president. "The Holiday Bowl has a rich history as 'America's Most Exciting Bowl Game' and this new agreement lays the foundation for continued success. In the ever-changing world of college football, we are excited to begin this new chapter that will no doubt provide a huge economic impact to San Diego as our community welcomes thousands of college football fans to our beautiful city every December."
Included in the Big Ten agreement is the stipulation that the Holiday Bowl will not have the same team in its game more than twice during the six-year span. The Holiday Bowl previously enjoyed a relationship with the Big Ten from 1992-94 and conference teams have played in nine games, beginning with a victory by Indiana in 1979. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State and Penn State have played in the Holiday Bowl, including when the Wolverines faced BYU for the national championship in 1984.
"The Big Ten Conference is pleased to return to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego," Big Ten Commissioner James E. Delany said. "During the bowl evaluation process we heard our Directors of Athletics and head coaches tell us that the Holiday Bowl was a reward destination they wanted the conference to be a part of. The Holiday Bowl has a long history and tradition of managing bowl games that have tremendous appeal to participating teams and their fans, and we are excited by the opportunity to return to an area of Southern California that has such a strong and vibrant Big Ten football following."
The Holiday Bowl is entering its 16th year as a partner with the Pac-12. Eight of the current 12 teams have appeared in the game.
"The Pac-12 has been a tremendous partner through the years," said Geppert. "The enthusiasm of their fans is matched only by the high-octane entertainment their teams have provided. We're ecstatic to continue this relationship."
"The Holiday Bowl has been a long-time valued partner of the Pac-12 and we are grateful to continue our relationship with the bowl game and the city of San Diego," said Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott. "There has always been a buzz about this game throughout our Conference and we anticipate this new partnership with the Big Ten will provide many exciting and memorable games for years to come."
The Holiday Bowl, televised on ESPN, currently matches the second selection from the Pac-12 with the fourth selection from the Big 12, after BCS matchups. The 2013 game, which will celebrate its 36th year, is set for Monday, Dec. 30 with a 7:15 p.m. PT kickoff. Tickets go on sale to the general public Aug. 12th.
The mission of the non-profit San Diego Bowl Game Association is to generate tourism, exposure, economic benefit and civic pride for San Diego and its citizens by presenting the nation's most exciting and entertaining bowl games and festivals of events. Since its inception in 1978, the San Diego Bowl Game Association has created an impact of $668 million.

LONDON, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- British screenwriter Julian Fellowes says he is penning a prequel to his hit costume drama "Downton Abbey."
The story will feature younger actors playing Earl and Countess of Grantham, roles played on "Downton Abbey" by Elizabeth McGovern and Hugh Bonneville, the BBC reported.
"I do actually have an idea of doing a prequel of the courtship of Robert and Cora, when all those American heiresses were arriving in London.
"They had a slightly troubled courtship, because she was in love with him before they married, as we know, and he married her entirely for her money," the BBC quoted Fellowes as saying at the BAFTA Screenwriters' Lecture series in London.
"I sort of feel there's something quite nice in there because he's a decent cove, and so he feels rather guilty about this which has affected their marriage beyond that."
Fellowes said the spinoff would air after the flagship "Downton Abbey" series wrapped.

NEW YORK — Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was fined $7,875 for unsportsmanlike conduct/taunting in the final minute of the NFC championship game against San Francisco.
Sherman's fine was confirmed by the league Friday.
Sherman was flagged after he made a choking gesture toward the San Francisco bench that he said was directed at quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Sherman had just deflected a pass intended for Michael Crabtree in the end zone that was intercepted by linebacker Malcolm Smith and clinched Seattle's 23-17 victory.
Sherman ran over and after tapping Crabtree on the backside and extended his hand for a handshake. Crabtree then shoved Sherman in the face. The All-Pro cornerback then made the choking gesture.
Sherman was the only player fined in the game.

USCG PSC Equals meaningful Polar Presence
The Coast Guard needs a ship that can do more than just break ice; it needs a multi-mission ship to provide for the nation's security, asserting its sovereign rights, and protecting its long-term economic interests. That ship is the Polar Security Cutter.Since Russia cashed the check in 1867 for the purchase of Alaska the U.S. has been an Arctic nation. Today, it is one of eight countries that have territorial land or seas above the Arctic Circle or in the polar region (six of those countries have Arctic Ocean coastline or an exclusive economic zone above the Arctic Circle). The U.S. has also conducted significant research activities in the Antarctic region for many years.

In commemoration of Black History Month, this series highlights African-American history in Florida.
The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) formed in 1942 with the purpose of challenging segregation laws in the United States through non-violent protest and civil disobedience.
CORE played a central role in several of the largest peaceful integration campaigns during the Civil Rights Movement, including Freedom Rides from the 1940s to the 1960s, the March on Washington in August 1963, the Mississippi Freedom Summer of 1964, and numerous sit-in demonstrations throughout the United States in the 1960s.
CORE leadership in Tallahassee created this flier in July 1963 (click thumbnails below for larger images). It summarizes the accomplishments of the movement in Tallahassee and the ongoing efforts by activists to defeat segregation in Florida's capital city.
Reproduced in the flier is a telegram written by local CORE chairperson Patricia Stephens Due to President John F. Kennedy. Due asked the president to stop federal grants from funding St. Augustine's 400th anniversary celebration.
Due wrote that government support for these events would amount to a "celebration of 400 years of slavery and segregation." Other prominent civil rights leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., raised similar concerns that the celebrations planned for St. Augustine in 1964 would marginalize the African-American role in Florida's colonial history.
Two months before this flier appeared, over 200 student demonstrators, mostly from Florida A&M University, were arrested for picketing in front of segregated theaters in downtown Tallahassee. The flier also notes the latest campaign against pool segregation, and that Priscilla Stephens, sister of Patricia Stephens Due, had been arrested for attempting to integrate a city pool.
The Stephens sisters organized the first Tallahassee chapter of CORE in 1959. Throughout the early 1960s they played a prominent role as organizers, participants, and spokespeople for the movement.
To learn more see, Tananarive Due and Patricia Stephens Due, Freedom in the Family: A Mother-Daughter Memoir of the Fight for Civil Rights (New York: Ballatine, 2003) and Glenda Alice Rabby, The Pain and the Promise: The Struggle for Civil Rights in Tallahassee, Florida (Athens: University of Georgia, 1999).

Let me tell you, this stuff is AMAZING! My sister in law made it for me when I had Jonah. I was eating it and thought I must have had five days of hospital food because this stuff is unreal. But I have made it again and again and it just really is that good. Anyone I make it for raves and chows it down. As one of the missionaries said the other day, "I thought I thought I was going to hate that but it was like the best thing I've ever had". Have I convinced you yet, let me finish by saying it comes together really fast and easy, make great for left over and did I mention it is delish!
:side note, it is called salad, yet its a warm dish, you figure that one out:
- 5 cups cooked rice, warm or at room temperature (white, brown, wild rice or a combination!)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 (15-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15-oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cooked, cubed chicken
- 1 (12-oz.) can corn, drained
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 2/3 cup canola oil
- 4 pickled jalepeno pepper rounds (found in the glass jars next to the olives, usually)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Combine all of the salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Combine dressing ingredients in blender until peppers are finely minced. Toss with salad. Serve warm or at room temperature.
I think all my current favorite recipes include this beauty.

Notes from Rainout 2
Blue Jays pitcher Dustin McGowan said he is trying to stay positive right now. Honestly, what other choice does he have?
"I've got to stay positive," he said with a shrug on Sunday. "I'll be all right."
After a rough start on Friday, McGowan complained of a fatigued arm — a normal turn of events for pitchers trying to return from long lay-offs. McGowan's start was his first game action since July 8, 2008.
McGowan is taking a week off to rest and he will be re-evaluated at that point. He said he hopes to pick up where he left off with his throwing program, doing light days between brief game appearances for now.
McGowan said one good thing is that the current issue is not similar to the type of setbacks he has previously had with his shoulder. This is not pain, it is simply a "dead arm" period, not considered serious right now.
"It's kind of a minor setback," McGowan said. "Nothing I hope too alarming. I hope I take this week off and come back feeling good again."
The bottom line is McGowan's comeback — after missing the past year and a half dealing with a surgically-repaired shoulder and a knee injury last season — has been a good story this spring. He is leaps and bounds ahead of where he was at this time last year, and that is something McGowan is focusing on right now.
"Absolutely," McGowan said. "You always have to keep your head high. It's been a long road and I've made a lot of big strides this year. Hopefully I continue to make more."
GAINING SPEED: Following Saturday's game, Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston mentioned that closing candidate Kevin Gregg wasn't throwing as hard as he will likely throw during the season. Speaking with Gregg today, the pitcher said that is a normal part of Spring Training for him each year.
"Yeah, you get arm strength as the season goes," Gregg said. "It happens every Spring Training. I sit there and I typically start Spring Training throwing 89-91, and then as the season comes, I'll be throwing in the low 90s, which that makes a difference."
Gregg noted that he has been working extensively on his splitter, one reason he has been hit around a little bit this spring (7 hits, 1 HR, 5 IP). Gregg said he felt last spring he was too caught up in results and that led to him not being fully prepared with his pitches once the season began. He doesn't want to make the same mistake this time around.
RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY: Sunday was not a fun day at the ballpark. It poured rain all morning, with only some slight periods of light drizzle breaking it up. Still, the Jays and Red Sox waited until around 2:30 to officially cancel the game. For a while, it was starting to wear on everyone held hostage, trying to wait out the weather.
"Anyone want to do tarp slides," asked Aaron Hill, standing outside the clubhouse as the delay dragged on. "This isn't fun. We need to do something fun."
And, no, despite Hill's pleas, there were no tarp slides.
UPDATE – 7:45 pm: Wait! I stand corrected. There were tarp slides. I just didn't see them.
Much thanks to Tony Plut for e-mailing me the above photo.
MOUND MATTERS: Shaun Marcum, who was slated to start on Sunday, headed indoors and worked through an 81-pitch simulated game. Even with the delay dragging on and on, Marcum was still hoping to get an actual game in. "I'd much rather pitch in a little rain than throw in the cage," he said. No such luck.
As for relievers Josh Roenicke, Casey Janssen, Jeremy Accardo and David Purcey — all scheduled to follow Marcum — they will now pitch on Monday after Brian Tallet's five-inning start. Relievers Kevin Gregg, Scott Downs, Jason Frasor and Shawn Camp will pitch in a Triple-A game on Monday.
INJURY UPDATES: Brandon Morrow (right shoulder) met with Dr. Steve Mirabello at Dunedin Stadium on Sunday morning and was told that his injury is not considered serious. Morrow will resume throwing on Wednesday, will throw in a bullpen session on Friday and then will make his next start on Monday, March 29. Morrow is still in line to start the third game of the regular season for the Jays. … LHP Jesse Carlson (left knee) is scheduled to throw off a mound on Monday. … 3B Edwin Encarnacion (left wrist) and UTIL Mike McCoy (right shoulder) will likely be asked to play in a Minor League game or two before being thrown back into big league games. … Spoke with RHP Scott Richmond (right shoulder) on Saturday. He is currently throwing from 120 feet, but there is no timetable for his return to a mound. … RHP Dirk Hayhurst (right shoulder) has been cleared to continue his rehab back home in Ohio for now.
QUOTABLE: "No, some of us are supposed to pitch the eighth inning." — Janssen, when a teammate asked an umpire to call the game

Hill and Wells did do tarp slides. I'd post a pic but I left my card reader in Toronto. Only exciting thing to happen after hours of waiting in the rain. The Jays staff should take notice, despite the fact thousands of people waited for the game to start almost no one was buying the crappy food.
I was listening to the "game" on FAN590 and they said Vernon Wells and Aaron Hill did tarp slides after the game was called. I was hoping maybe you might get pictures of that, sorry if you missed it. Hope Aaron had a happy 28th birthday despite the game being called because of rain.

Strategies for Administering Client Google Analytics AccountsBlog Post: February 14, 2013
Hello Benjamin, Thanks for your post!
Our conundrum; setting up multiple websites from scratch with no prior analytics accounts. In many cases, the clients have no savvy when it comes to... computers. My current method is to send the client a step-by-step guide on setting up analytics account and making us admin. However, sometimes the client will not perceive the value, and will delay for days (sometimes weeks!) in responding to getting this set up. This is despite multiple phone messages, emails, begging, pleading... I'm not able to set up an account on their behalf because Google's confirmation need to either be an SMS or phone message, and neither are allowed (used too often).
I assume other agencies have similar issues, but I can't find the "right" way to get around this scenario as far as Google is concerned. Do you have any suggestions?

Two-Way Eggplant Spread
Wildly popular in Israel, this eggplant spread is easy to make because you grill the eggplants whole. Keep this spread on hand in the refrigerator for a tasty snack. Fresh pita bread is the usual accompaniment.
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes to 1 hour
Yield: 8 servings
Keeping kosher: Pareve
2 1/2 pounds eggplants (2 medium or large)
2 large garlic cloves
1/3 cup mayonnaise or 1/2 cup tahini sauce, or more of either one to taste
1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Hot sauce to taste
Chopped Italian parsley or parsley sprigs (optional)
Prick the eggplants a few times with fork.
Put the eggplants on an outdoor grill or in a shallow baking dish in the broiler.
Turning the eggplants often, broil for 40 minutes or grill for 1 hour, or until tender when pierced.
The eggplants will look collapsed when they're done.
Cut off eggplant caps.
Allow the eggplants to cool.
Wait until they're cool enough to handle.
Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise.
Cut away the peel with a paring knife.
If they're very soft, simply scoop the flesh out of the peels with a spoon.
Chop eggplant fine with a knife, almost to a puree.
You can also put it in a food processor and chop it with on/off pulses to a chunky or smooth puree, as you prefer.
Put the eggplant puree in a bowl.
Finely mince the garlic cloves.
Juice the lemon and strain the juice through a fine sieve.
Add garlic to the eggplant puree and mix well.
Stir in mayonnaise (or tahini sauce) and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
Season generously with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
Taste and add more mayonnaise, tahini sauce, or lemon juice, if you like.
Serve cold or at room temperature, garnished with parsley.

Keep in mind that the installation is a work-in-progress. Look for updates and notices of an official unveiling!
Look and look again: The spiffed up HarborWalk Fishermen's Wharf exhibit is deeply channeled–joining fine art and discussion, business and community, wharf and sea. Keep in mind that the installation is a work-in-progress. Look for updates and notices of an official unveiling!
Back in 2010, detailed information panels along Fishermen's Wharf were created by Mark McDonough, Vito Giacalone, Peter Prybot and Joey Ciaramitaro. The panels were installed along the Giacalone's wall, between businesses and at the water's edge. The content, collaborative spirit and contemporary reporting impacted the HarborWalk design. Cambridge Seven Associates, architects for the HarborWalk, were fans. Connections were encouraged. Two HarborWalk story posts (formerly described as Story Moments) were sited at each end: Fishing Today HarborWalk Story Post #5 and Lobstering HarborWalk Story Post #4. Pretty much everybody hoped the signs would be cared for and this outdoor channel would remain.
Thanks to bright sunshine, the panels along Fishermen's Wharf deteriorated. Some of the fabulous content disappeared. Guess what? Signs are temporary and can be re-visited.
New signs were designed, content edited and updated, and the display taken to a new level with support of the City. Matt Coogan, Senior Planner Community Development, directed the project, working with the original authors and team. Cambridge Seven Associates designed the panels. The addition of fine art photography, drawings and design spiffed up the already museum quality display. Fine art by Joey Ciaramitaro, Marty Luster, Paul Frontiero and others are something else to celebrate this week!
Saunter by. More stories to come. Worth repeating: the exhibit is still a work in progress. It's not 100% live…yet!

The first details about Microsoft's WinHEC 2006 conference have been posted. The event will take place in Seattle, WA, from May 23-25, 2006. WinHEC is Microsoft's annual technology conference aimed at hardware and platform engineers. The conference is expected to focus on the upcoming Windows Vista and Longhorn Server releases.
No word yet on when the next Driver DevCon conference will be held. Driver DevCon 2005 took place at the same time and place as WinHEC 2005, but many participants complained about the lack of focus and inconvenient facilities caused by combining the event with WinHEC.
Information about the event can be found at the Microsoft WinHEC Conference website.
