Thursday I spoke to my Mom on the phone. I found that she needed to have some furniture removed from her apartment. On Saturday she would be moving from the apartment in Breton that has been her home for 20 years, into a seniors lodge in Leduc. I told her I would get the furniture with my big trailer. So I let my supervisor know that I would miss the rest of my Thursday shift at familysearch.org, and then we hitched up the trailer and drove to Breton. We visited with Mom and her sister Vi, and loaded up the trailer and came home. While I was there, I asked a family history question. My cousin's daughter thought that Grandpa Richard Ing had gotten in trouble with the law as a little boy back in England for stealing food. I had never heard that story, so I asked Mom and Vi. They both immediately said "No!", then Vi said "He got in trouble for selling matches." This was the version of the story that I was familiar with. In any case, the 1891 census shows Richard Ing, aged 8 as an inmate of The Childrens Home in Gravesend, Kent, England. At age 14 he came to Canada as one of the British Home Children, and became a successful homesteader and farmer by the standards of the day. He was an incurable tease, but he was one of the kindest and gentlest people I have ever known. We had a phone call from our daughter Evelyn. She is starting the 4th year of her Bachelor of Education program, and received a letter from the Gold Key Honor Society. This was a very positive experience for her. She has sometimes said that if it wasn't for bad luck, she would have no luck at all. And she has certainly had her share of bad luck. It is nice to see her receive this recognition. Good work Evelyn! I have recently been doing searches on Genes Reunited, instead of waiting for the site to identify "hot matches" with my family tree. I have had some good experiences.
- One of Susan Kinney's descendants replied. She is a distant cousin to my wife.
- A cousin of mine in the Andrew New family of Froxfield, Hants, replied and gave me the names and birthdates of 7 of my direct line ancestors! This site has potential that I hadn't really investigated. I will need to do more searches!

Most shops worth their salt will swap yr suit if it doesn't fit properly anyway, but it is still the most important thing IMO. No point having a £300 suit that fits like a dodgy Burtons blazer.

Bought from Surfed Out in North Devon. Im a pretty rubbish surfer and have been tanking about on a Mini mal for a couple of years.I'm 40 years old and 15 stone & I never thought I would be riding something smaller but I decided to take the plunge after talking to the guys in the shop and have bought a Lemondrop.
This thing flies! Really easy to paddle and catches waves that before I would have missed. It can be ridden as a quad or a thruster although I surf it with the quad set-up all the time now. I am progressing really quickly now and can actually cutback!
I would'nt suppose it would be of much use to the guys who rip but for a very intermediate surfer like myself it's fantastic. I reckon by next summer that I will be dropping down a few more inches. I am trying to find out if they do a 6'6?
So, if like me you want to progress your surfing to the next level, catch tons of waves and get out of the sea with a silly grin on your face then this is a superb board.

finlay wrote:I want to weigh in on my previous part review of a patagonia r4 winter suit (hooded)
It is still warm as anything, even in north coast scotland rivermouth surf. It feels like you're wearing a knitted onesie and the hood is as warm as your favourite beanie. The seams are still good (2nd winter now) though I'm starting to feel drops of cold water around the underarm seams so there must be pinholes, but nothing to get too worried about. I would say the neck seal isn't as waterproof as the xcel design, and if you get tombstoned by the lip or bail awkardly it can properly flush with freezing water - this is partly due to odd design decisions on their part. The front zip suits are open on both sides of the zip, and without elastic to hold the open sides closed (xcel style).
That said I reckon the suit is going to be longer lasting by design as well. My theory is the extra insulation/woven inside of the suit (and it running just abuot all over rather than just an insulated chest panel) will keep you warm even as the seams inevitably age and some water starts to get in, whereas my previous winter suits were only warm as long as the seams are were in good condition.

|Audience ClairAudient 2 + 2 Loudspeakers Review
|Wednesday, 06 October 2010
Page 1 of 3Audience LLC was formed in 1997 and is located in San Marcos, CA. In their relatively short life span, they have become one of the elite designers and manufacturers of state of the art signal and power cables. They also produce highly regarded power conditioners, high resolution capacitors, and the Auric Illuminator, an optical disc enhancement kit. My only experience with Audience products is the Auric Illuminator, which I found to work wonders on compact discs and DVD's to improve resolution and help with problematic discs.
Audience has also recently entered the loudspeaker market. Far from being satisfied with a conventional product, they have decided to take a different path. This approach was formed over a long period of time, with much trial and error, proprietary technology, and determination. Add to that a unique vision. Audience has gotten a lot of buzz and several high profile endorsements for the ClairAudient Line Source Array loudspeaker. The original Audience speaker was the vision of the late Richard Smith whose idea was to overcome the common limitations and compromises inherent in most loudspeaker systems.
The ClairAudient Line Source Array has no crossover which, according to Audience, eliminates many issues including phase anomalies. They claim this reduces distortion, produces a more accurate waveform, and proper transient response. The ClairAudient uses multiple, full range drivers that produce a flat frequency response from 50Hz to 22Khz, with the lowest frequencies reproduced by a separate subwoofer. It also features what Audience calls SweetSpace(tm) Imaging Technology that provides an expanded optimal listening area over conventional loudspeakers.
According to Audience, "the A3S driver is a breakthrough full range loudspeaker driver design comprising the patented XBL motor, patent-pending suspension and patent pending basket. The A3S is built like a high power subwoofer driver using a large neodymium motor structure, big voice coil and suspension venting. The A3 is ultra responsive at 2.5 grams total moving mass providing state of the art resolution and dynamic range. The A3S sports 12mm of usable excursion with less than 1 dB compression at levels up to 95 dB SPL. "
What makes this first loudspeaker offering from Audience so interesting is that it's available in driver configurations of 4, 8, 16 or 32 drivers! As mentioned before, some very high profile high performance audio journalists have indicated that the ClairAudient is a breakthrough product; which brings us to the subject of this review, the ClairAudient 2 + 2 stand mounted monitor. The ClairAudient 2 + 2, as its name might indicate, is a bi-pole mini monitor that uses four of the Audience A3S full range drivers that radiate from the front and from the back, plus a passive radiator to enhance bass frequencies.
The 2 + 2, again, features no crossover and no separate tweeter or midrange driver. The ultimate goal, according to Audience, was to provide a seamless presentation and integration of all frequencies. Some of the final notes on the 2 + 2's construction is use of custom internal wiring, and exotic, locally sourced cabinet finishes. My review sample was supplied in a beautiful African Sapeli finish. The speakers can be provided 4 ohm (standard), 8 ohm or 16 ohm impedance ratings as well, pretty unique, for best results with the partnering amplifier. The review sample was 4 ohm rated, and specified at 90 db efficiency. The 2 + 2 is priced at $5000 per pair.
John McDonald, Audience's CEO and President, invited me to his home for an initial listening session to see if I was interested in doing a review in the first place. I found Mr. McDonald to be very passionate about Audience, highly intelligent, and an all around gracious man. I arrived at his home with a CD-R of very familiar recordings to give the 2 + 2's a first listen. His excellent system consisted of Audience designed Class D amplification, Audience cabling, and an Audience modified digital source. (See an interview with John McDonald at the conclusion of the review.)
The speakers were toed in pretty severely (45 degrees), and they were on 28 inch stands, which McDonald recommends. My initial impression was that I was clearly listening to something different than a run of the mill mini monitor, with a standard driver array and crossover. The sound stage was much larger than I had anticipated given their size, and the room was filled with large scale, lifelike music; even more surprising considering McDonald's living room was not small by any means. I would categorize it on the larger side of medium. After getting a handle on the presentation, words that came to mind were "warm", "spacious", and "coherent". When I mentioned to McDonald that I don't often get to hear tweeter-less, crossover-less speakers, save for panel designs, he said something that stuck with me, ""the 2+2 are direct coupled to your amplifier". I also came away pretty impressed with the bass performance. I will state clearly here that it was the highest quality bass I have heard from a monitor that size, bar none.

A Stalag was the term used during the First and Second World War for prisoner-of-war camps in Germany. The word Stalag is an abbreviation of the German word: Stammlager. At each Stalag the German Army set up sub-camps called Arbeitskommando to hold prisoners in the vicinity of specific work locations. These kommandos ranged in size from a handful of POWs working on a farm to several hundred prisoners working in coalmines or quarries. An Oflag - from the German word: Offizierslager - was a prisoner of war camp for officers only. In accordance with the requirements of the Third Geneva Convention, officers held prisoner at Oflags were not required to work
Probably the best known of these Prisoner of War camps is Stalag Luft III, a massive camp near Sagan, Silesia, Germany (now Żagań, Lubuskie, Poland). This camp was the site of spectacular escape attempt (later filmed as: The Great Escape). On March 24, 1944, 76 Allied prisoners escaped through a 110 m long tunnel. 73 were recaptured within two weeks. 50 of them were executed by order of Hitler. Other notable camps include the notorious Oflag IV-C, the Colditz Castle prisoner-of-war camp for "incorrigible" Allied officers who had repeatedly escaped from other camps; Stalag II-B just outside Hammerstein in Pomerania (now Czarne, Pomorskie, Poland), where treatment of prisoners was considered worse than at any other camp in Germany established for American POW; Stalag III-C, where up to 12,000 Soviet prisoners were killed or starved to death, near Küstrin, Brandenburg, Germany (now Kostrzyn nad Odrą, Lubuskie, Poland); and Oflag II-C, a Prisoner-of-War camp comprising of up to 5,000 Polish officers and orderlies, in Woldenburg, Ostbrandenburg / Neumark, Germany (now Dobiegniew, Lubusz, Poland).
This website focuses on the Oflag and Stalag POW camps, which were located in the east of Germany during the Second World War, but since the redrawing of the borders of Germany in 1945, are now mostly located in Poland. It will include personal accounts of everyday life for a prisoner of war in German Stalag and Oflag camps. Below is a list of the Prisoner of War camps, which this site will cover in detail. Follow the links to find information on these individual Oflags and Stalags.

Do you remember the thread I posted called "The Art of Morality" where I succinctly argued that implying there is a god that scores moral actions is no different from implying there is some cosmic art guru who prices all works of art? It's very similar to what's happening here. Implying that people should determine their own meaning to life is arrogant is, itself, arrogant. I am saying that my life is mine to decide. That is a humble statement because it applies to me. You, on the other hand, are saying "no, you are wrong in your assertion about yourself". And worse, it's name calling. Let's gloss right over that it's pretty close to breaking ODN rules and conclude that calling someone arrogant for wanting to find their own meaning to life is a pretty jerk thing to say.And making your life about you want it to be (HALO? seriously) is not arrogance? In so saying, you are asserting that each man is his own King, who can assert his own existence, his own interpretation of life.
I mean, look at the definition of arrogant: "an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions". Implying that I am not the one to determine my own life's meaning and that I have to succumb to your (fictional) god's meaning? That is the definition of arrogance.

The body is wisdom in all things at all times; if we would but take the time to emulate its design; radiance would be the natural corollary.
The human body is a master of design, architecture, and chemistry; no-where is there a system more sophisticated in its engineering. It is magnificent. What is most compelling about the body is that it never lies; it cannot. It foretells all through the manifestation of signs and symptoms and is always a harbinger of the truth. The astute practitioner assesses the body and by observation and specialized testing can tell what nutrients the body is desperately lacking. The pervasiveness of chronic fatigue has reached a point of contagion where many are afflicted with this vague nagging sense of lethargy and fatigue. This persistent fatigue belies the fact that the needs of the body are not being met in this modern day society.
Chronic fatigue is now so pervasive; a profound sense of fatigue is at the fore-front of most patients health concerns and is usually listed as the chief complaint on a medical questionnaire. Just as the sun can be obscured by the clouds, a host of factors converge to derail the body from its intrinsic magnificence. The body's innate luminescence naturally comes into being when the hidden sources of fatigue are properly addressed and managed.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The agency that oversees Michigan's courts wants to add judges in Macomb, Oakland and Kent counties and eliminate some judicial posts elsewhere.
The recommendations were released Thursday. Only lawmakers can make changes.
The State Court Administrative Office recommends four additional Circuit Court judges in Macomb County and two more in Oakland County. In the Grand Rapids area, the agency recommends another Circuit Court judge and a District Court judge.
On the other side, lawmakers are being asked to cut four judges in Wayne County Circuit Court and one District Court judge each in Berrien, Delta and Saginaw counties. The report recommends cutting a judge in the District Court that serves Baraga, Houghton and Keweenaw counties.
No current judge would lose a job. The cuts would come after retirement or resignation.

Belief in the One True Power
Click for full-size at 500px
Here's a photomontage I did recently using my iPhone and some choice apps. I was visiting the Grove Arcade in Asheville, NC a few weeks ago and noticed the sunlight looking interesting around this stairwell, so I snapped a black & white with Hipstamatic. Later in the week a gnarled tree trunk in my neighborhood caught my attention, so I snapped that.
I knew I wanted to do something with the tree and the stairwell, but it looked incomplete when editing just those in Photoforge2, so I snapped a candle that happened to be burning when I was working on this. Finally, I added some texture with the TtV Photo Studio app, then some magic from the universe… and there we go.
But What Does it Mean?
The title of this image is from a lyric in a song by one of my favorite bands, The Deftones, titled, "Pink Cellphone." It's an airy, dark, and experimental-sounding track – qualities also applicable to this image, so I thought it was an appropriate fit. It's not my intent to promote any belief an any kind of power whatsoever. I just like the sound of the song and the pairing with the image.
If there is any one true power as far as this kind of thing goes, it's the brilliant photomontage work of Jerry Uelsmann. If you like my humble creation here, definitely check out his stuff. This piece in particular reflects my appreciation for his art.
Thanks to Mitzi Rice, who suggested this image for blog fodder over at Instagram. Check out her blog, Mit Lear Moments.

English, active 1779–1788
Candlestick, 1779
35.1 x 12.7 x 12.7 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with the assistance of a repatriation grant from the Government of Canada through the Cultural Property Export and Import Act and with the assistance of The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation Inc., Mr. J. Derek Riley, the Honourable Otto E. Lang, Madam Justice Deborah J. McCawley, and Mr. A. Lorne Campbell
Metallic, Decorative Arts Silver
As a British naval officer, Captain Henry Harvey played an important role in Canadian history when he arrived at Quebec with reinforcements, just after the American Revolutionary forces had withdrawn in 1776. The urn, salver, and candlesticks, however, were not presented to honour Harvey's military service, but rather in recognition of his provision of safe convoy for the rich annual fur trade. The presentation of silver (in this case gifted by London merchants establishing trade between England and Quebec) was a customary way to recognize outstanding service to the country, at home or overseas. These four silver pieces—The Captain Henry Harvey Presentation Silver—are remarkable for their aesthetic quality as well as for being a tangible reminder of events significant to the historical and economic development of Canada.

There are plenty of things I covet in this world—Charlotte Gainsbourg's effortless ability to wear Balenciaga, a Chelsea townhouse in London, the ability to endure a musical—but when it comes to my friends, I envy no one else. Two weeks ago we brought our second son home from the hospital, and I've never been happier. Looking at my two beautiful boys, I just don't know that it gets any better than this. But as much as I love the mornings with both my boys snuggled up in bed, when dinner time rolls around I'm at a total loss. Fortunately, I have the most generous friends in the world! You should see the basket full of delicious goodies from Joans on Third, pastries from Huckleberry, pizza and budino from Pizzeria Mozza delivered by Lizzie and Matt, the Moroccan braised chicken from my friend Vanessa or the Italian Wedding Soup that Carrie dropped off (a soup so delicious that I fear my husband might leave me for Carrie and her soup). My friend Hugh knowingly brought by a bottle of gin and several limes. And then there were the meatballs.
Last Friday, the enchanting Carolynn Carreño dropped off three containers of large meatballs swimming in sauce, along with some semolina toasts and garlic butter. If these meatballs look suspiciously and deliciously similar to those served at Mozza, there's a reason. Carolynn cowrote The Mozza Cookbook with Nancy Silverton and worked tirelessly testing and retesting recipes so that they would translate to the home cook. (If you don't already have the book, you need it if only for the meatball recipe alone.) Made with pork, veal and ground pancetta, these meatballs are pure love.
Next to family, there is nothing better in this world than a good friend. Especially if that friend makes meatballs.

I've been having a lot of fun converting half the Italeri 1815 British (the half without stovepipe shakos) to Peninsular British - mostly some trouser alterations and shako-swapping from an abysmal set of Hat Light Infantry. But I have also had to produce some standard bearers. A sergeant figure converted fairly easily ( I cut away his gear, lengthened the tails of his coat) but I wanted two per stand (regimental and union colours) and didn't want duplicate ensigns. So I've gone to work on the command figure, which has proved a bit more ambitious.
I posted early painted conversion results (with only one ensign) with my Connaught Rangers post but thought I would share some WIP's. These are really my first attempts at this level of conversion and look pretty rough, but I'm pleased with the results when not too close!
A pic of all the conversions, mostly involving trouser alterations, shako-swapping, shoulder-wing-cutting and tuft-adding.
Close up of the commander, with bicorne and tails added for the Peninsular captain (painted figure), and then two more modified as ensigns. These called for new shakos, the arm cut off and repositioned, the hand moulded, a belt added for the flagstaff, a sword hilt added in the scabbard, shoulder wings cut off, epaulettes added and coattails lengthened. For Peninsular they should also probably have boots but I ran out of steam!
The earlier modifications of the sergeant. For the ensign it meant shako swap, gear and swagger stick cut off, sword added, hand drilled for flagstaff, spear point added to flagstaff, pouch created for staff, and tails lengthened.
The sergeant figure was simply a matter of swapping the shako, cutting off the shoulder wings, adding tufts and sword and making a pike.

You'd have K.O.L.M., a Flash-based, Metroid-style adventure about piecing together a sad little platforming robot. And while K.O.L.M. may feel heavily inspired by some great games, its audio-visual style helps to set this game apart.
There's traditional "Metroidvania" item collecting, shooting, and puzzle-solving, but the tilting camera, the somber soundtrack and a few neat audio tricks make this game worth a taste. There's also a guiding voice, a la Portal's GlaDOS, that will help you through the multi-room adventure. K.O.L.M., by Antony Lavelle with music from Tommy Robin, has been out and playable for a little while now, but thanks to Rock Paper Shotgun, we're now better aware of its existence.
If you've got some time to spare for this Flash-based adventure, give it some time.

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) uses blood levels of a drug to adjust its dose to achieve the maximal benefit and/or to achieve the minimal toxicity. This approach to customizing drug dosing has great appeal for the treatment of HIV. The promise of TDM is that it could increase HIV suppression and possibly lower drug side effects. The problem with TDM is that the studies are difficult to conduct, and there have not been adequate TDM trials to support its routine use in the clinic. Several studies have shown better HIV suppression with the use of TDM. However, it is difficult to separate the effect of TDM in increasing adherence compared to its effect in increasing the blood levels of drugs. Several studies are now under way by the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) and others, evaluating TDM.
TDM is not routinely used in most areas of medicine, so this approach needs to be tested. However, the rationale for TDM is supported by retrospective data showing that there are great variations from person to person in bloods levels of some anti-HIV drugs, particularly the protease inhibitors (PIs). It has been shown that the people with the higher blood levels have greater HIV suppression.
Many factors are responsible for the different blood levels in different people. These include known and unknown genetic variations, different absorption rates, different rates of removal of the drug once it reaches the blood, and different rates of protein binding, which can make a drug unavailable. Also, since people vary greatly by body fat and lean muscle composition, it may be beneficial to customize the dose. Some drugs are stored in body fat and may last longer in the body of people with greater body fat.
What needs to be shown in large trials is that by adjusting the dose in individual people, the outcome of treatment will be enhanced. Data similar to that obtained for PIs is harder to come by for the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) because they are activated inside the cell and the blood level does not necessarily correlate with the level of the activated nucleoside inside the cell.
The basic approach of TDM is to measure the level of the drug in the blood when it is near its lowest, just prior to the next scheduled dose. This is called the trough level. The trough level should be high enough to suppress HIV replication. In the past, another obstacle to TDM trials has been that the ideal trough level for the individual person was not known. However, the phenotype resistance test allows determination of what the minimally effective blood level of a drug should be, at least for the PIs.
The general design of the current, long-awaited, TDM trials is a comparison, by randomization, between a group of people on standard dosing and a group receiving active monitoring and adjustments in the blood level of the PI. TDM trials can be challenging because a person needs to come to the clinic at precise times related to their dosing schedule to obtain accurate trough levels, and then return after an adjustment to determine if the adjustment has had the desired effect. Also, there is a concern about additional side effects when people are given drugs at higher doses than those usually prescribed. It may be that some side effects are not directly related to the blood level of the drug.
Most TDM trials are focusing on people with evidence of some degree of HIV drug resistance because this is where the greatest effect of customizing drug dosing may be observed. If the HIV virus is very sensitive, the difference in drug levels from person to person may not make much difference. But when only higher drug levels suppress HIV, TDM may make the difference between total versus partial HIV suppression.
Another potential benefit of TDM could be lowering the dose in people with higher than necessary levels, to reduce side effects. Studies are currently being conducted to examine the blood level of drugs to see if they correlate with side effects, such as the altered thought processes that some people experience from Sustiva. Do those people have higher blood levels than people not experiencing those side effects?
Hopefully the results of the current TDM studies will determine if this approach should be used in all people receiving HIV treatment.

A Southern California dog that survived a 110-mile trip from Chino to San Clemente in a truck's engine compartment is doing just fine Tuesday, according to the animal shelter responsible for him.
The driver of the Chevy Silverado said that the dog must have hitched a ride in the compartment of the truck in Chino, where the driver works.
The driver, Jaime Magaña told the Orange County Register that when he turned off the ignition in San Clemente, he could still feel the truck moving. Then he noticed a tuft of fur protruding from the truck's front left tire area.
When he opened the hood of the car, a dog who he recognized from his Chino neighborhood was looking up at him. He pulled the dog out, gave it some water and called 911.
"Between the engine and the front there is a big gap and that is what saved him," Magaña told the OC Register. "I don't understand how it survived at this temperature with the engine running. It doesn't make any sense."
The dog, now named Chevy, is in the care of a San Clemente animal shelter. An employee at the shelter told NBC 7 that the dog is not injured, and officials are looking for its owner.
For more on this story, check it out on the OC Register's website.

Bond insurer Syncora Guarantee Inc., the most vocal opponent of Detroit's debt-adjustment plan, received a virtual guarantee that a federal appeals court will quickly review lower court decisions on the question of whether $15 million a month in casino revenue is property belonging to the city.
The ultimate ruling has profound implications for whether Detroit can use casino taxes going forward and whether New York- based Syncora sustains losses on $176 million in bonds and $100 million in swaps that it guaranteed.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati said last week the casino-tax question is "precisely the type of issue" to decide before plan approval, so that Detroit, Syncora and other creditors will know "the size of the pie."
In one of the first disputes after Detroit filed bankruptcy one year ago this month, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes ruled in August that casino revenue, eventually coming to the city through complex layers of transactions, is city property and therefore subject to the so-called automatic stay.
Syncora unsuccessfully argued that casino taxes weren't city property. The company had sought to exercise its rights as a secured creditor by glomming the revenue to cover its liability on the debt guarantees.
Syncora appealed. Although the papers for the appeal were filed in November, the district judge didn't make a ruling. Instead, the district judge issued an order in April freezing the casino-tax appeal until the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati rules on a separate appeal regarding Detroit's eligibility for municipal bankruptcy.
That eligibility appeal will be argued on July 30. With the 27-day confirmation hearing for approval of Detroit's plan scheduled to start Aug. 14, Syncora was worried that the plan would be approved and implemented, thus preventing any appellate court from deciding if casino revenue is Detroit's to keep. The $15 million a month is the city's best single revenue stream.
Last week, the Cincinnati-based appeals court assured Syncora there will be an appeal on ownership of casino revenue.
Syncora had gone to the circuit court using what's known as a petition for mandamus, asking the court to "mandate" that the district judge resolve the appeal from the August ruling. The Sixth Circuit agreed, issued the mandate last week, and instructed the district judge to rule by July 14 and say whether casino taxes are Detroit's property.
The circuit court didn't stop there. The appeals court told the losing side to appeal within three days, so there can be quick appellate review in the Sixth Circuit.
Putting all the pieces together, the Sixth Circuit could hear the tax-revenue appeal by August and issue a ruling before the confirmation trial ends. If Syncora wins, Detroit's plan may be dead in the water.
The appeals court said "these are extraordinary circumstances" warranting the use of mandamus to assure that Syncora has a "meaningful opportunity" to appeal.
In the largest-ever municipal bankruptcy begun in July 2013, Detroit listed $18 billion in debt, including $5.85 billion in special revenue obligations, $6.4 billion in post- employment benefits, $3.5 billion for underfunded pensions, $1.13 billion on secured and unsecured general obligations, and $1.43 billion on pension-related debt, according to a court filing. Debt service consumes 42.5 percent of revenue.
The city has 100,000 creditors and 20,000 retirees.

ABSTRACT: Overweight and obesity are epidemic in the United States. Obesity is a risk factor for numerous conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, stroke, heart disease, certain types of cancer, and arthritis. The prevalence of obesity is high, exceeding 30% in adult women and men. Many women, irrespective of demographic characteristics or income, are vulnerable to becoming overweight or obese because of limited resources for physical activity and healthy food choices, work commitments, and family demands. Clinicians and public health officials should address not only i...

Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe is ready to get back to work.
Bowe, the franchise player who has been absent from all offseason work, training camp and the start of the preseason, has now signed his franchise tender.
That means Bowe will play this season for a base salary of $9.5 million, and the signing now means he'll have three weeks to get up to speed before the start of the regular season. There had been conflicting reports in the last couple of weeks about how soon Bowe would sign, but there was little doubt that he'd be ready to go for Week One, and now that is assured.
Bowe is the last of the franchise players to sign with his team. The list of high-profile NFL holdouts is now down to two: Steelers receiver Mike Wallace, who hasn't signed his one-year restricted free agent tender, and Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who has two years left on his current contract but is holding out in the hopes that the Jaguars will give him a new deal.

The PACE program allows property owners to pay for energy efficiency projects through their property tax bills.
This eliminates upfront costs that can discourage people from large energy upgrades like solar panels.
Metzler Real Estate is undertaking a $3.1 million dollar upgrade that will cut annual energy costs by 27-percent at its Metro Center Corporate Park.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson praised the project.
"It's $140,000 that will be saved annually in terms of utility bills," says Johnson."That will help service the financing and go toward other projects in our community."
Johnson urged property owners to take advantage of the PACE program, which is administered through Clean Energy Sacramento. It's funded $4.2 million in projects over the past 90 days
"We want this to be the first, we want other office buildings and other folks to sign up and enroll and apply for the financing," says Johnson. "We want to be a leader in this community and certainly we think we're on track to do that."
The Metro Center Corporate Park improvements will include high efficiency rooftop heating and air conditioning units, and automated energy-efficient lighting.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-Junior Chloe Keating scored her second goal of the game in overtime to lift the Harvard women's field hockey team to its first Ivy League win, 4-3 against Brown Saturday afternoon at rain-soaked Jordan Field.
Keating added an assist, and Harvard (4-4, 1-2 Ivy League) also got goals from sophomores Carly Dickson and Allie Kimmel. Keating scored at the 71:28 mark, less than two minutes into overtime. She collected a pass ahead from Dickson, outran and slipped by a defender and then came back to the right side to shoot past Brown goalie Caroline Washburn. Cynthia Tassopoulos made four saves for the win, as the Crimson outshot the Bears (3-6, 0-3), 21-13. Washburn made nine saves.
The Crimson took the lead about eight minutes into the game. Instead of shooting on a penalty corner, sophomore Georgia McGillivray slid the ball to her left, to Dickson. The sophomore sent a shot from the top of the circle through traffic and past Washburn. The Brown goalie, however, stopped Dickson on a penalty stroke shortly thereafter. Brown got an equalizer at 27:34, following a corner. Katie Hyland faked a shot off stopper Michaela Saigo's pass, and Whitney Knowlton banged in a shot from the left. Harvard answered just 21 seconds later. Keating got the ball in the circle, turned a found Kimmel on the left post for the finish.
Keating made it 3-1 in the game's 46th minute, beating Washburn after a pass from senior Kristin Bannon left her all alone on the left side of the circle. This time it was Brown answering after barely a minute. After inserting a corner, Leslie Springmeyer deflected Elara Mosquera's shot from the left side. The Bears tied the game again with less than 11 minutes remaining, when Kelley Harrison centered a pass from the right end line to Abigail Taft in front for the score. Brown had earlier gotten a chance to tie, but Tacy Zysk had her first shot stopped by Tassopoulos and her second denied on a defensive save by Harvard freshman Molly Stansik.
