Ohio Gas Prices Down To Start Work Week
COLUMBUS, Ohio
Ohio motorists are paying a bit less at the pump to start the new work week.
The cost for a gallon of regular gas in Ohio was averaging $3.74 in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That's 12 cents less than a week ago.
Monday's Ohio price is about a dime lower than a month ago, but it's about 21 cents higher than last year at this time.
The national average Monday was $3.68 per gallon. That's a couple pennies more than a week ago.
Ohio averages range from $3.60 per gallon in Toledo to $3.80 in the Dayton area.
Analysts say unrest in Iraq has kept the price of crude oil higher.

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder. People who have bulimia are overly concerned with weight and body image. They eat large amounts of food (called binge eating) and use inappropriate means to rid their bodies of the food (called purging) or excessive calories. Purging may be done through vomiting, laxatives, or water pills. Excessive exercise or fasting may replace or be used along with purging. This cycle of binge eating and purging is used to prevent weight gain.
The exact cause of bulimia is unknown. Factors that may contribute to this condition include:
Bulimia is more young women, especially between 11-20 years old. Other factors that may increase your chance of bulimia include:
Behavioral symptoms include:
Typically have a normal weight. Physical symptoms may include:
Bulimia may lead to other problems, including:
Symptoms of these complications include:
People with bulimia have a high incidence of psychiatric conditions, including:
Bulemia may be suspected after a physical exam and medical history. Questions about your dietary and exercise habits may be asked.
Once bulimia is suspected, other tests may be done to determine if the bulimia has caused an imbalance in the blood or heart. Tests may include:
A mental health professional may also perform a psychiatric exam and/or psychological tests. Drug screening may also be done.
Immediate care may be needed to stabilize chemical imbalances in the body and manage changes to the heart.
Overall goals of treatment are to stop harmful behaviors and thought patterns.
Treatments may include:
A registered dietitian can create a healthy nutrition plan and create reasonable weight and calorie goals. The plan may also help avoid electrolyte imbalances.
Therapy can help reshape behaviors by helping to:
One type of behavior called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be very effective, especially when combined with medication. Therapy may be one on one, group, family, or a combination of therapies.
For children, the school system should also be included. The school can provide special accommodations like snack breaks in class.
Antidepressants medication may help reduce the urge to binge and purge. Medication is most effective when combined with therapy.
Healthy attitudes about food and your body help prevent bulimia nervosa. Suggestions include:

The largest fleet of F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighters grew to 25 aircraft as the F-35 Integrated Training Center here welcomed two new Air Force F-35A variants of the multi-role fighter to the Emerald Coast, June 5.
The expansion gives the 58th Fighter Squadron the ability to fly an expanded schedule and more readily put student pilots through the F-35 training course, according to Maj. Jay Spohn, assistant director of operations at the 58th Fighter Squadron.
"We'll have the ability to fly a 'four-turn-four' or 'six-turn-four'," he said. The numbers indicate how many training sortie flights are accomplished in the morning schedule, then maintained and serviced to be turned back out to be flown for the afternoon schedule.
Currently, the Air Force team at the 33rd Fighter Wing is in the latter part of F-35A Pilot Class Number 4 and has started Class 5. The Marine Corps pilots here are in F-35B Class Number 4 and the Navy has completed one F-35C course and started a second this week. More than 30 pilots from all three variants have been trained at the F-35 Integrated Training Center.
The world class training devices, full mission simulators and comprehensive curriculum are preparing them for the challenges of working on the 21st century battlefield.
The Air Force expects to declare F-35A Lightning II initial operating capability by December 2016. For the Marines, the target date for F-35B IOC is in late 2015 and the Navy is looking at F-35C IOC in February 2019.
For now, the steps taken each day at Eglin assist in moving the F-35 program forward enterprise-wide as the team trains more people on the unprecedented, technologically-advanced 5th generation fighter.
About 72 pilots from the Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy are slated to graduate F-35 transition pilot training this year. This is made possible by a fleet of well-maintained aircraft to meet the training needs.
One such maintainer paving the way for F-35 success is Tech. Sgt. Lance Murphy, 58th Aircraft Maintenance Unit here. He received one of the two new F-35s and has been tapped to be the dedicated crew chief for that aircraft.
"This is awesome knowing the jet belongs to you," he said. "It's my responsibility to know the overall maintenance of this particular jet bearing my name on the side."
Murphy likened his F-35 maintenance experience to that of auto racing. "Each NASCAR has its own chief and each jet has its own crew chief. There is that same excitement when the jet is maintained and then goes out for a successful flight just like a successful race."
Spohn believe the steady stream of accomplishments for the F-35 are a direct result of the new training course, specifically designed for the new aircraft.
"It's an accomplishment that in less than six months since we started pilot training, we have been able to produce a course as good as any fighter course created in the last 20 years," said Spohn.
Murphy agreed about the progress. "Each day is something new and it's awesome to be a part of this."
At Eglin, the Air Force has 12 F-35A joint strike fighters, the Marine Corps has 11 F-35Bs and the United Kingdom embedded with the Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron-501 has two F-35Bs. The Navy is slated to get its first two F-35C variants in the next coming weeks.
In the out years, when operating at full capacity, the Eglin fleet will grow to 59 aircraft with about 100 pilots and 2,100 maintainers graduating yearly.

Mexico, Guanajuato, Catholic Church Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)
This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org. | |
Access the records: Mexico,Guanajuato Catholic Church Records .
Foreign Language Title
Registros Paroquiales de la Iglesia Católica del Estado de Guanajuato, México.
Collection Time Period
This collection from several parishes of the State of Chiapas, Mexico cover the years 1576 to 1984.
Record Description
Separate books were kept for baptism, confirmation, marriage banns, marriage, and burial or death records. However, in smaller areas, all records may be recorded on one register. The entries were normally made in chronological order. In smaller parishes, most of the marriage banns (informaciones matrimoniales) were included in the marriage entry. In larger parishes, these records may be registered separately. In smaller parishes, the confirmations may have been included with the baptisms or even with marriages. In larger parishes, a separate book of confirmations was usually maintained. The records are in relatively fair condition, with the exception of some older records that may be damaged, and therefore hard to read or missing some information. Most of the older records are handwritten in narrative style and follow a common text with some variations depending on the style used by the priest. Newer records are handwritten in formatted registers, and some are even written in ledger style registers.
Record Content
The key genealogical facts found in most baptism records are:• Date of baptism
• Place of the event and usually the parish saint name
• Name of the person being baptized
• Names of the parents
• Age of the person being baptized or the person's birth date
• Gender
• Legitimacy
• Before 1820, social class of the parents
• Sometimes the person's race
• Date of marriage
• Place of the event and usually the parish saint name
• Names of the betrothed
• Names of the parents
• Names of the witnesses
• Ages and marital statuses of the betrothed
• Places of origin and residence of the betrothed and sometimes that of the parents
• Legitimacy of the betrothed
• Sometimes the race of the betrothed
• Date of death or burial
• Place of burial or death
• Name of the deceased person
• Sometimes the names of the parents or the spouse, if the deceased was married
• Age of the deceased person at time of death
• Place of residence or origin of the deceased person
• Sometimes the race of the deceased
How to Use the Records
In most cases, Mexican Catholic parish registers are the only records before 1859 that identify individuals, parents, and spouses. After this date, civil authorities began registering vital statistics (nacimientos, matrimonies, y defunciones) that by law include people of all religions. The information in civil sources confirms and supplements the information in church records. Be sure to search both the parish and civil records after 1860.
Begin your search by finding your ancestors in the index. Name indexes to baptisms, marriages, and death or burials make it possible to access a specific record quickly. Remember that these indexes may contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
When searching the index it is helpful to know the following:
• The place where the event occurred.
• The name and surname of the person.
• The approximate date of the event.
• The name of the parents or spouse.
Use the locator information found in the index (such as page, entry, or certificate number) to locate your ancestors in the records. Compare the information in the record to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct person. You may need to compare the information of more than one person to make this determination.
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family.
For example:
• Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information.
• Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each partner to find a couple's birth records and parents' names.
• Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
• Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records.
• Occupations listed can lead you to employment records or other types of records such as military records.
• Use the parent's birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
• The name of the officiator is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county. However, ministers may have reported marriages performed in other counties.
• Compile the marriage entries for every person who has the same surname as the bride or groom, this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
• Continue to search the marriage records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the bride and groom who may have married in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
• Use the marriage number to identify previous marriages.
• When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
Keep in mind:
• The information in church records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
• Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after the late 1800.
• There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another.
If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, try the following:
• Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
• Check for a different index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume.
• Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.
Record History
After the conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards, Catholic priests began going from one place to another baptizing most of the population. By order of the queen of Spain, priests began keeping a record of all the sacramental ordinances performed. The registers hold records of baptisms, marriages, deaths, and burials and other ecclesiastical documents. Most often, the different types of ordinances are recorded separate volumes. Each record is written in narrative style, and in more recent years, they are handwritten in formatted records. The registers were created and kept by the priest. Later, as the church grew in numbers, the registers were kept at the parish, and a copy was sent to the diocesan archive for preservation.
Catholic priests established parishes starting in 1521. In 1527, the Roman Catholic Church established dioceses in Tlaxcala and Mexico City. It was only in the late 19th century that other religious groups began establishing congregations in Mexico.
Parishes were local congregations that may have included smaller villages within their boundaries. A large city may contain several parishes. The parishes had jurisdiction over both vice parishes (vice parroquias) and chapelries (feligresias). Multiple parishes (parroquias) were under the jurisdiction of a diocese. The highest level of local government in the Catholic Church is the archdiocese (arquidiócesis), which is made up of several dioceses.
In 1995, the Catholic Church in Mexico had 14 archdioceses; 58 dioceses; 5,345 parishes; and 1,611 chapelries (sub-parishes). Together they hold a great number of records.
Why This Collection Was Created
Authorized Catholic priests created separate parish registers to record the church sacraments of baptism (bautismo), confirmation (confirmación), marriage (casamiento o matrimonio), and burial (defunción o entierro) at the parish level.
Record Reliability
Catholic Church parish registers are a reliable source of information for family history research, and the primary source for baptism, marriage, and death records in Mexico prior to 1859. Catholic Church parish records after 1859 can be used to complement information found in civil registers.

Just for the Health of It (or Taking the Fear of out Providing Consumer Health Information)
Dynamic Duo – PNR and the Idaho Commission for Libraries
For the past several months PNR staff, especially Roy Sahali our Community Resources Coordinator, have been working with the Idaho Commisson for Libraries (ICFL) to strategize about how to raise interest in having libraries in Idaho partner with community-based organizations for health information outreach activities. Based on input received at a planning meeting held in July, we have worked with the ICFL to arrange a pre-conference workshop at the upcoming Idaho Library Association meeting taking place this week in Idaho Falls.
"Just for the Health of It (or Taking the Fear of out Providing Consumer Health Information)" will guide participants to learn how to find resources in their communities that address consumer health needs. They will come away confident that their library has the assets needed to answer the most challenging question and they'll learn how to develop an action plan that will take their library to the next level in community visibility.
Network member, Jeanne Farnworth from the Portneuf District Library and winner of the 2006 National Commission for Library and Information Services Consumer Health Award, will be spotlighted as having initiated successful and dynamic health information activities at her library, along with her partners. Gail Kouame from NN/LM PNR, and Charlotte Fowles of the Idaho Commission for Libraries will face off in a "dueling databases" match to demonstrate the features of NLM resources as well as those available through Idaho's State databases. Roy Sahali will lead discussions about finding and partnering with community agencies with a stake in health information.
The day will be capped off with a Health Fair, involving Network member Kathy Fatkin of the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center library. Conference attendees and members of the public are invited to participate in the health fair to learn about local resources and to see how a health fair can be accomplished.
We are excited about our partnership with ICFL and look forward to future endeavors!

Could his last appearance as a Yankee been in the ALCS against the Tigers in Game 4? Possibly. The Yankees will make a qualifying offer to him by Friday's deadline, but Soriano could have plans to be a full-time closer elsewhere on a multi-year deal. Heyman goes as far as to call a four year deal.
The Yankees could offer a two-year deal if they decide to go that far into negotiations.
Mariano Rivera has not decided whether he will return in 2013, but he will be a free-agent as well. Rivera served as a mentor for Soriano in 2012, before going down with a season-ending knee injury. That was not the way he wanted to go out and could have one final year in him, before the Yankees choose to hand over the ninth inning throne.
If Soriano could take one year as a set-up man, he could get his job back as Yankees closer in the 2014 season.
Casey McGhee has also opted to be a free-agent. Pitcher Brad Meyer was sent back to the Washington Nationals after spending the entire season on the disabled list as a Rule 5 Draft pick.
The Yankees made a donation of $500,000 to the Hurricane relief efforts all throughout the Tri-State area. The check was made out to the Red Cross assisting all throughout New York.

Is it really true that the more things change, the more they stay the same? Once upon a time, before the bureaucratic society, before modern war and technology, there was a very different world, and not so long ago. Let us revisit, picking at random, the year
December 1969 | Volume 21, Issue 1
There is Saxe-Meiningen-Hildburghausen (pencils, marbles, wooden toys), a one-piece duchy which is notable chiefly for being eighty miles long and only ten miles wide, shaped in a graceful crescent like a French breakfast roll. And there is Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (honey, poultry, more toys), whose two main sections are fourteen miles apart, the government operating first in one part, then in the other. As usual, there is a legislature called a diet, partly elected but mostly appointed by the duke. Duke Ernst is the older brother of Prince Albert of England, and since he is childless, one of Victoria's sons will be able to add this duchy to his inheritance some day, just as her uncle has inherited the old Hanoverian properties of Hanover and Brunswick. Duke Ernst is rich, too, having sold still another duchy to ever-acquisitive Prussia.
Besides all these Saxon duchies, there is a Prussian province called Saxony and an independent kingdom of Saxony as well, whose king spends his time in the palace at Dresden making very fine translations of Dante. What makes things stranger is the fact that the Saxon states, which used to be in the west of Germany a few centuries ago, have now moved to the east, as though the United States had moved, say, to Chile, and the Chileans had come up to North America.
Pride and eccentricity, in various mixtures, seem to be the distinguishing characteristics of these comic-opera courts. The last ruler of Hesse-Cassel (one of half a dozen Hessian duchies) was so reactionary that he put all his soldiers in eighteenth-century uniforms. The present one refuses to have railroads or factories within his state and once grew so angry with his subjects, who were slow with their taxes, that he went on strike, refusing to transact any public business until they paid up. In tiny Reuss-Greiz and Reuss-Schleiz-Gera, where the burghers make cheese and musical instruments, there are related houses in which all the sons are named Henry. Their current rulers, who are, respectively, Prince Henry the Twentieth and Prince Henry the Sixty-Seventh, are given to referring to themselves, each without any conscious humor, as "My all-highest self." Bavaria, the lightest-hearted part of Germany, has a strange young prince named Ludwig. Within a decade he will be its "Mad King," floating in a shell-like gondola drawn by swans in the grotto of Linderhof, listening the while to the music of his protégé Richard Wagner. The protégé, as demanding in his eccentricities as the patron, will compose only in a room hung all about with blood-red draperies, pounding out the eerie harmonies that capture the German soul.
But while this preposterous ruling class idles and dreams away its last days of feckless absolutism and Germany nibbles late at the Industrial Revolution, a man with a clear and burning ambition is preparing a new Germany. At the weak federal diet in Frankfurt, which (together with a customs union) is the only central organization in this checkerboard of states, young Otto von Bismarck represents the King of Prussia. He is watching this assemblage, feebly dominated by Austria, make its mistakes. This year Bismarck's elderly king has gone mad and has been replaced, as regent, by his brother, a prince unstained by liberalism, determined to build a Prussia, and later a Germany, that is militarily strong. Austria will be brushed aside, and so will the nonsense of liberal government. If anything amuses Bismarck, it is what he calls "the English catchwords, humanity and civilization." The electors and margraves, the little dukes, the proud princelings, the high-numbered Henrys? If they surrender their substance, they may keep their shadows, but there will be only one real all-highest, and he in Berlin.
If they think about the Old World at all, the Americans are glad they have left Europe, its kings, its class system, its hierarchies, its sleepy ways, behind. A few southerners may dream of a fancied romantic past found in the novels of Sir Walter Scott, but the Yankee, the westerner, and, indeed, most southerners are bound up in the bustling present and tantalizing future.
Even though wild land speculation and a shaky system of money and banking bring on a financial crash near the end of August (some 1,400 state banks, not the federal government, issue paper money, and every business keeps a "Counterfeit Guide"), 1857 marks the peak of a period of prosperity. There has never been such investment in shipping, telegraph lines, factories, and railroads. A cable is being laid all the way to England.

Just in time for the New Year, I bought myself a 'new' desk. I've had my eye on this one for awhile at Ikea. Just found it on Craigslist and had to have it. I just wish I was one of those people who doesn't have to have everything visible to be inspired (or to remember what I have). Lot's of plans for 2012. If I get my nerve up, I'll post my goals for the year next week. Happy New Year!

I have my eye on that desk, too! I went to Ikea last weekend in Charlotte. I saw it then and fell in luv! As soon as my "new" studio is built I just may have to get it! I also have to have everything visible for inspiration! You are not alone! In fact I can hardly move in my studio right now. The pictures of it on my blog are totally misleading!:0)

To Your (Corporate) Health
President Bush's drive to get himself re-elected and electroshock the economy back to life took a new turn last week as Congress, in a heralded display of "bipartisan" politics, embraced a scheme to pay for drugs under Medicare. The idea is for the elderly to pay up to half the cost of drugs in a complicated, stepped program that would cost $400 billion. The government would pay the money to the pharmaceutical industry, which would conduct the program. "It's a traditional contortionist effort to try to show you're doing something when the real agenda is to protect corporate drug interests," said David Himmelstein of Physicians for a National Health Program. "Bush wants to do it though private drug-management firms that take a big cut of anything before giving any benefits. Most seniors still wouldn't be able to afford drugs, prices would still be high, and they'd be spending a large chunk of federal money to do this."
There is another problem, as Congressional Quarterly points out, that could end up hurting, not helping, the elderly. Should the government program appear to be too generous, corporations may drop altogether the drug coverage in their medical plans. Corporations currently are cutting back on these costly programs. A December 2002 study from Kaiser Family Associates and Hewitt Associates shows that 13 percent of companies dropped drug coverage over the last couple of years, and 44 percent required employees to increase their share of the cost. The AFL-CIO argues that workers who took wage concessions in labor negotiations so as to get drug coverage once they retired will get screwed.
So in some respects, politicians who are coming to the rescue of the needy elderly actually are just rewarding the pharmaceutical giants, which always have been generous campaign givers, with yet another giant economic boondoggle.
Mondo Washington this week:
Add that to the $80 billion a year being spent to "democratize" Iraq and the gift of $555 billion over 10 years to the top 1 percent of taxpayers, through the dividend tax refund. (Just that tax break itself exceeds the total of proposed increases for education, health research, defense, and prescription drugs, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a mainstream think tank.)

Meanwhile, it turns out that getting our hands on Iraqi oil isn't going to provide us with needed future energy supplies. Now we've got to have more natural gas. Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve system, told a congressional committee last week that he was worried that soaring natural gas prices would contribute to the "erosion" of the economy. Natural gas is a more or less clean fuel in great demand by industry to help it meet air pollution standards. Greenspan urges the U.S. to import more gas as a "safety valve" in case domestic production can't do the job. That means building more terminals for liquefied-natural-gas tankers hauling gas in its frozen form from the Caspian Sea area and from Australia, Indonesia, and the Russian Far East. Tankers are an extremely dangerous means of transporting gas. If a terrorist successfully attacked one of them, the explosion would be enormous, on the order of a nuclear bomb, some experts have said. At any rate, importing gas by this means will be expensive, and building ports along the East and West coasts will be highly controversial. With that in mind, the best way of importing gas is to carry it by pipeline from Alaska and the Canadian Arctic down through the Mackenzie delta and into the Midwest. A Mackenzie delta pipeline plan has been on and off for literally a quarter of a century.
Greenspan also said, "I do think an overall policy of energy cannot dismiss the issue of nuclear power." This vague statement was immediately taken by nuclear proponents on Capitol Hill as Greenspan's endorsement for more nuke plants. Nuclear power was basically discarded in this country in the late 1970s after the Three Mile Island accident. It always has been more expensive than coal and viewed as both dangerous and controversial, if only because of the nightmarish quandary over what to do about radioactive wastes.
Bottom line: Why did we go to war in Iraq?

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Strangely enough, the article in today's New York Times about Cornelia I. Bargmann's study of the neurology of worms, with it's "social map" graphic of the 302 neurons of the roundworm caenorhabditis elegans, made me think about Portland, Maine. The round worm is of interest because "the study of its nervous system offers one of the most promising approaches for understanding the human brain, since it uses much the same working parts but is around a million times less complex." When Time Warner rolled out Road Runner in 1997, they chose Portland as their test market, for reasons perhaps similar to why scientists study the roundworm's brain—in many ways it has many of the "working parts" of much larger metros, but at a scale that is much easier to keep track of.
Portland is an interesting town, small, but incredibly dense with smart people and creative talent. For the past year, as the editor of the blog LiveWorkPortland.org, I have been covering what Richard Florida dubbed the "creative economy" as it applies to Portland. What we have here in Portland is a bunch of not-quite-overlapping creative communities operating on a fairly high level, but somewhat in isolation from one another. One of the explicit goals of the site is to attract more creatives to Portland (10,000 in the next five years, to be specific) by making all of these communities more visible to people in other creative metros. The implicit goal is to make the photographers here more visible to the writers, the foodies more visible to the web developers and the musicians more visibile to the ad agencies, etc.
If all of that interlinking reminds you of facebook, that's completely intentional. Portland is, in fact, a very friendly town. Beyond the relocation resources that we baked into the static content portion of LiveWork Portland, we have closed the loop even farther with a new initiative, 2 Degrees Portland. Aiming to outdo Kevin Bacon (and John Guare), 2 Degrees matches incoming creatives with local "connectors" who can help them get their bearings, meet the people they need to meet and figure out how to transition their lives and work to Portland.
But it wasn't just the "social map"-like diagram that got me going, but also the number of neurons. In the world of social media, there has been much discussion and research on the sizing of cohesive social groups. Malcolm Gladwell made much of "Dunbar's number" of 150 in The Tipping Point, but other estimates range to almost double that. [Aside: Interesting article in the Wall Street Journal about Dunbar's recent work on the correlation between brain size and social group size] The Abstract design conference in Portland earlier this month had about 400 participants, more than half of which were fairly local. So the conference was an opportunity to see the design community here as more than a band (30-50 members, according to Dunbar), but less than a tribe (500-2,500 members). In Pleistocene hunter-gatherer terms, the design community in Portland is more like a clan (100-200 members), small, but large enough for the neuronal effects described by Dr. Bargmann in the roundworm to take effect.
At the Abstract after party I was talking to designer Stephen Doyle (husband of Abstract panelist Gael Towey, original designer of Spy magazine and last year's National Communication Design Award winner). He asked what it was like as a New Yorker to move to Portland. I told him that it was small but full of interesting, talented people and you could meet anyone you wanted to meet. Our eyes met for a glint of recognition that I could have said the same about the top-tier publication design community in New York—another clan of two or three hundred! So although the entire graphic design community in Portland is but a fraction of one of many tribes of graphic designers in New York, it is in excess of Dunbar's number and approaching the number of neurons in the lowly round worm. Large enough to count, but small enough to matter

PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh police say a man wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire on officers during a domestic disturbance call, killing three of them.
Police chief Nate Harper says the motive for Saturday's shooting isn't clear. Friends say the gunman recently had been upset about losing his job and that he feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns.
Edward Perkovic said Poplawski, his best friend, feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon." Another longtime friend, Aaron Vire, said Poplawski feared that President Barack Obama was going to take away his rights, though he said he "wasn't violently against Obama."
This link is broken, either the page no longer exists or there is some other issue like a typo.
I'm sure the fine folks over at Faux News and the NRA are quite proud of themselves this afternoon for telling the lies they do.
Mr. Perkovic and other former classmates said they were surprised by this morning's events. Mr. Perkovic said Mr. Poplawski was opposed to "Zionist propaganda" and was fearful that his right to own weapons would be taken away but he wasn't a member of an organized group or militia.
"He always said that if someone tried to take his weapons away he would do what his forefathers told him to do and defend himself."
Another friend, Aaron Vire, 23, said he'd helped Mr. Poplawski and Mr. Perkovic with a radio show they'd broadcast on the Internet, discussing "politics, girls and life."
Mr. Poplawski had supported Republican candidate John McCain in the presidential election and had "very spirited debates" about Democratic candidate Barack Obama, Mr. Vire said. Mr. Poplawski was opposed to Mr. Obama's election, which he thought would result in the loss of his rights, Mr. Vire said.
"He wasn't a racist but thought some of his amendments were overlooked," Mr. Vire said. Even though Mr. Vire is black and Mr. Poplawski is white, the debates over President Obama did not hurt their friendship, he said.
Mr. Poplawski told him he bought his guns "because he felt the quality of life was being diminished," Mr. Vire said.
"He said he'll be ready if there's ever an invasion of the United States and that he had stockpiled foods and guns for that eventuality."
Keep up the repeating of the fine tall tales told by fools like Limbaugh, the NRA, Glenn Beck, Michelle Bachmann and the rest of the neo-con fear mongers. It will certainly weed out the gullible and weak-minded but at what cost?

Randy Bates is selling his, ready to go.
I want to try to build a elevator ride for our haunt which by the way is our first year opening. Anyway if anyone has any ideas, pics, links, or anything that might help us construct one one a limited budget it would be greatly appreciated.. thanks, madmike
Randy Bates is selling his, ready to go.
Before going through all the trouble and expense of an elevator, one thing to consider is how your elevator will effect through put. We use one, but use it in combination with Vortex tunnel. Send one group to the elevator, next two groups to the tunnel, next to the elevator and so on. If we were limited to the 45 second reset time to reload a group on the elevator, busy nights would really suck!
The dual path method also eliminates the single point of failure if the elevator ever stops working.
Thanks for the quick responses i'll take the time factor into consideration, happy haunting madmike.
Want maximum throughput ? Try this elevator design, make it just a box with no floor, yank it straight up and the customers walk right ahead and away quickly then.
Sending some people through the spinning tunnel and sending some through the elevator might have the tunnel-people wishing they had gotten the shaft.
If they insist tell them you forget and under-charged them for their tickets. "$45.oo each please!"
Now they got the shaft!
Yeah, like the Disney Haunted Mansion's rising walls. Sounds simple enough. All you need is a good pulley system, a motor, and some vertical space, right?Try this elevator design, make it just a box with no floor, yank it straight up and the customers walk right ahead and away quickly then.

OOPs, sorry if I copied "Disney", never been there, not a student of the place.
Think how light you could build the walls since customers really shouldn't be getting a chance to lean on or beat on them.
Maybe much headroom wouldn't be needed if they were canvas with a frame at the bottom to quickly pull it up by, like an awning. A counter-weight could do it fast, maybe even this action of the quick folding would catch most customers standing there completely off guard?
How about an egyptian elevator? You get in the cage and water flows from bamboo tubes, filling animal skin sacks of water on ropes and pulleys that rise the platform and customers when the weight is right.
It lifts only two feet and the back opens like a freight elevator and there is the vortex tunnel. A toilet flushing sound is head and the elevator goes down.
Note, the elevator might go up and spin 90 degrees with some side cages to watch this mechanism work and know they are really moving. It might actually be some kind of electric fork truck and all an illusion.
People when they get in an elevator are trained to face the door they got into. so the door opens and a big monster comes at them, the door closes and a back one opens or the whole thing spins to the monster and then to the vortex.
If through put is a problem you just have 3 of these in a line. No problem, only about $45,000 worth of stuff for 4 minutes of entertainment! Lets see 17 similar scenes and the whole haunt only costs $765,000. Set up and tear down should only be about $25,000 per year. Groovy.
But it would all work out, you'ld make a million! of which the combination of food stamps and public food banks, One nice couch to sit waiting for the next season, it would all work. Just don't eat too much where you need sacks of water to get off the couch.

Second chance
December 19, 2010
Earlier in the year, I chose to read Genesis 3-9 for one of my reflection essays. I didn't end up using it, but I found it quite interesting when I sat down to write one of my final blog posts. I found this passage extremely enlightening in many ways. For one thing, we see our first encounter between the human race, and other living species, which sets the tone for God's feeling towards mankind. In this passage we also see how God's power can be misinterpreted as almost overbearing. For me, this passage is the most enlightening one that we have gone over, and similar to all the other passages we have gone over, this can very easily be related to in modern day situations.
This passage opens up with the story of Adam and Eve, and the forbidden fruit. The most alerting thing that I noticed was that the first emotion that we come across is that of deception. It's very interesting that this feeling of deception displayed by the serpent came before any sort of kind or generous gesture by Adam or Eve. Reading about this encounter makes me think of God as a parent. Even though one could make the argument that Adam and Eve did not do anything intentionally wrong, they are still punished for their actions, to show that it is not acceptable to disobey your elders. I can relate to this encounter on a personal level because one of the major lessons that my parents stressed when raising me, was to always respect my elders, no exceptions.
Later in the passage, in Genesis 4.3-4.16, we are introduced to the story of Cain and Abel. Abel was chosen as a keeper of the sheep, while his brother Cain was chosen to till the soil. After given theses tasks by God, Cain expresses tremendous disappointment with his future position as tiller. Once again, before we are introduced to any compassionate emotions we embark upon more disobedience and denial. God questions Cain's feelings of distress and tells him that his life will have "uplift" if he does his job the right way. God warns Cain that if he does not do right, then "sin crouches at the door," (Genesis 4:6). Yet again, we see God acting as a parent to human beings as he attempts to teach Cain that doing well by others is rewarded with happiness. However, when God finds out that Cain slaughtered his brother Abel, he shows no mercy. Cain's punishment is that he must flee the land and that wherever he walks, the ground will curse him. God goes on to say that whoever comes across Cain at any point in time, shall murder him. Even though he spites Cain for killing his brother, God permits the killing of Cain. I found this very hypocritical on God's part.

Can any one please help me out with the transformation of Pichia pastoris?
We are trying to express gp96 (glyco protein 96) mutants in pichia pastoris.
I have tried electroporation as well as CaCl2 treatment for the production of competent cells.
But it was of no use
After electroporation, I am adding 1mL of ice cold sterile 1M sorbitol and then incubating them for approximately 3 hours at 30o C and plating them on YPDS + Zeocin plates
I have also tried other methods like addition of 0.5mL sorbitol and 0.5mL of YPD media to the cells immediately after electroporation and then incubate them for 3 hours at 30o C.
Please send me your suggestions so that I can make it work.
Thank you.

On "The Bachelorette," Krazy Kasey is left on a glacier to be eaten by Reid's bears from Canada and Chris N. is sent home but nobody cares because this is the first we've seen of him.
The eligible bachelors are headed to Iceland — you know, I hear that Greenland is covered with ice and Iceland is very nice. Chris Harrison informs the boys that there is a solo date, a group date and a DUN DUN DUN two-on-one date. Please leave someone on an Icelandic glacier like Reid got left in the Canadian wilderness. Please. I haven't laughed that hard for a whole year.
The guys find out they are competing for the solo date by writing a love poem and that they get bonus points if an Icelandic word is included. That is SO much better than making the women of Jake's season do stand-up. Yikes.
Anyway, the guys go around asking passers-by for Icelandic words — no one will talk to poor Justin on his crutches, which is hilarious. Various guys go up to random shopkeepers and Icelandic folks for help. In the end, the guys read their poems to Ali in front of each other.
Craig R. is really funny, Kasey is maudlin and unintelligible and then there is a montage of bad ones. Finally Chris N. gives a really awkward, sincere, stilted poem. Kirk kills it and I think he's gonna win but then Frank does a nice job too. Ali ends up picking Kirk because she hasn't had a one-on-one with him yet. Well, they may not have had a whole date yet but they suck face all the time and he walked her home once, so…
Kasey says, "In my honest opinion, I hope he doesn't come home … with a rose." But you can tell that last part is a bit of an afterthought. He says he wants Ali all to himself. "To lock in a basement" is left unsaid. My boyfriend pipes up for the first time with, "They're going to find him murdering hookers who look like Ali."
Kirk's Date
Ali and Kirk head to a clothing store and it reminds me of Jillian's date with … Jake? Right? At the clothing store? Am I making that up? Hmmm.
Anyway, they put on matching sweaters and go feed some ducks. Watch out for the swans, they are MEAN! They hiss and run at you (at least they do on the lakes at Notre Dame). At lunch, Kirk and Ali get into a dating history conversation. Kirk hasn't dated anyone for more than a year and Ali is worried about that. Well, to be fair — I hadn't dated anyone longer than that before current my boyfriend and now we're getting married and very right for each other, so… you never know, it only has to happen once. Not that I think Ali and Kirk are soulmates, but I don't know that Ali has to be suspicious of him or something, like he's hiding something.
At dinner, Kirk utters the greatest non-line in the history of everything. "As long as you know where I'm coming from, I think you'll know where I'm going." What does that even MEAN? Hahaha. Anyway, Kirk talks to Ali about his bout with an illness — breathing problems, weight loss, hair loss, memory loss, loss of speech, numbness. Yikes, that sounds seriously scary. It turns out Kirk found out that the house he lived in was filled with asbestos and mold and it made him really sick, but it taught him about what is important in life.
So Ali is putty in his hands (because who wouldn't be after that story. Not pooh-poohing it, but it's a melt-worthy tale) and she smooches him. Kirk says he gets lost in her (but not her eyes, which is sad to me because I thought I was going to get to launch into a Debbie Gibson song) and they hug.
Bachelor Pad (speaking of "Bachelor Pad," did you see the contestants?)
Roberto, Chris L., Chris N., Craig R., Ty and Frank the Tank get the group date, which means Kasey and Justin on the two-on-one date. Ooooh, that's awesome. Kasey is obviously distraught about that. Frank talks to him alone and Kasey is worried that a two-on-one is not the time to reveal the tattoo but Frank reassures him that this is his time to shine and "send the wrestler back to the ring." Hahaha, Frank rules. How he kept a straight face is beyond me.
Group Date
The guys and Ali ride horses? Or donkeys? I'm really not sure what those are because they look small. But it looks fun anyway, I love riding horses. They ride to a cave for a little spelunking — WOW. So jealous.
Back at the bachelor pad, Justin is ready to get his cast off and puts a boot on in its place. They make it seem like some kind of big deal, but I really think Justin could have on a FULL BODY CAST and still come off better than Kreepy Kasey.
Back at the Man Cave, it's … basically just a cave walk. Seriously, nothing happens. Cave, rope, hot chocolate. Lame. Move it along, show.
They head to Blue Lagoon, which is made up of some of Iceland's natural hot springs. I've heard those are amazing, just BTW. I'm so insanely jealous, what a cool place. So Ali strips down and is ready to go in her bikini but the guys have to go get their suits. Their reactions are pretty hilarious.
Chris L. gets some alone time and confesses that he used to change to fit the girl but this time he is being himself. They make out, while Frank freaks out about someone being alone with Ali. He finally gets her alone … in a bathroom? Where did they go? That's weird.
Ali confronts him about being so passive on the group dates and he hems and haws a bit, but eventually says that she makes him awkward. Awww. We are then out of the bathroom and back with the group and Ali is SO DRUNK. Seriously, gang. She is slurring her words and talking about the "Beauty & the Beast" rose and I don't judge because I'm a ways into a bottle of wine while I type this, but still. Ali is DAH-RUNK! Hahaha. She gives the rose to Ty, who was quite the ranch hand on the Icelandic horse ride. Frank and Chris L. are bummed.
ThunderdomeTwo men enter Two cheeseballs enter, one cheeseball leaves. Kasey is a cheeseball of the schmuck variety, while Justin is a cheeseball of the competitive variety. They both need to dial it down a notch, though I would be lying if I didn't say I hope Kasey gets left on a glacier.
The three of them take off in a helicopter — thankfully Kasey does not sing — and ride over a volcano. I'm pretty sure, from what I've read, that is THE Icelandic volcano that covered all of Europe in ash. In all seriousness, I bet once the ash hit like two weeks later, they were pretty blown away that they were JUST there flying over that volcano. That is freaky.
They land on the volcano and get to actually watch the volcano spewing lava. That is so cool. Justin goes off on some talking-head about how Ali is a championship wrestling belt. Oh dear. Don't say things like that, dude. Just when I start to like you.
They head to an ice cave where there is furniture made of ice. Wow. Did they make that for "The Bachelorette" or is that a tourist thing? Either way, what a great date. Later, Kasey shows off his tattoo (in his kicky Burberry scarf) and Ali tries not to run screaming from the glacier. Kasey says "guard and protect my heart" about 700 times (so drink up) and Ali is clearly weirded out even though she puts on a good front.
Ali then leads the boys out to the middle of the glacier and gives the rose to Justin. She basically just goes, "I'm gonna give Justin the rose." and sends him on his way. Heh heh. She then gives Kasey a speech full of platitudes and then LEAVES HIM ON THE GLACIER! Outstanding. The same bears that ate Reid are on their way, Kasey.
l Party
Ali has on the most beautiful black dress with a giant sparkly shoulder strap — I love it. Anyway, Frank gets alone time and Ali takes the time to defend her keeping Justin, which I'm sure Frank appreciates. He manages to turn the conversation to his behavior on the group date and how he'll do better not to just fade into the background. They then kiss about 6 times and it's lips only and you can tell Frank wants to slip her the tongue but she doesn't go for it. Innnteresting.
Craig R. gets some alone time and laments his lack of dates with Ali, so he whips out his fake tattoo on his wrist he made with pen. Okay, that's clever. Nice. You're gonna get a rose just for that comic relief.
Chris N. (the TOTALLY invisible man) talks about being funny and then … crickets. Then Ali asks him about a guilty pleasure and his big answer is "Mexican food." Oh dear. The other guys do some body language analysis and Frank and Kirk crack me up with their "brunch once a year just to catch up" friendship call. Heeee.
Chris L. is next and … why is he dressed like a scrub? Ali looks amazing and he's like in an undershirt and a button down. C'mon, man. I'm still on Team Chris L., but he looks silly. ANd finally Roberto gets his time and they go outside to smooch and hug.
Rose Ceremony
It has to be Chris N., right? He's a total non-entity! Anyway, the roses go to Justin, Kirk and Ty (already have) and then Frank, Chris L., Roberto and Craig R. So Kasey and Chris N. were eliminated. No surprises there.
Okay, seriously, that was kind of a weak episode. Kasey's ouster was far too quiet for my taste (I wanted wailing, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments) and Chris N. is — who? Did he just get there?
Next week: Istanbul (not Constantinople) and A GIRLFRIEND?! DUN DUN DUN!

Exchange Rate Policy in Small Rich Economies
We look at the exchange rate policy choices and outcomes for small rich economies. Small rich economies face significant policy challenges due to proportionately greater economic volatility than larger economies. These economies usually choose some form of fixed exchange rate regime, particularly in the very small economies where the per capita cost of independent monetary policy is relatively high. When such countries do choose a free or managed floating regime, they appear to derive no benefit from those regimes; their exchange rate volatility seems to rise without any significant change in fundamental economic volatility. Thus, for these countries, floating exchange rates seem to create problems for policy makers without solving any.

Have you been to Chuy's? If you go, ask for the Jalapeno Ranch Dressing to go with the chips and salsa — it's free but you need to request it. I need to remember to stop ordering a meal as I gorge myself on this one course and it's really the main reason I go back time and time again!
After a few failed attempts, I realized two things: I needed to switch from fresh jalapenos to canned (who knew?!) and I was not going to make this from scratch. I needed to start with a bottle of ranch as I wanted this whole process to be about 2 minutes. This recipe is what I came up with and it really is quite tasty!
Jalapeno Ranch Dressing
- One bottle Ranch Dressing
- 1/2 a bundle fresh cilantro, washed, and cut into smaller 2-3 inch pieces
- Juice of one lime plus 1/4 of a lime, with rind.
- 2 4 oz cans of jalapenos (if you like things very mild, stick with one can)
- If you want to get fancy: add .5 t of cumin and garlic powder
- Fresh jalapeno, if desired. See note.
- If you making this for a dip, you may want it thicker. If so, add 2 handfuls of fresh spinach. Plus, it makes it a lovely green.
- Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender (I have a Vitamix and it does make things like this mighty easy.).
- Pulse until well blended.
- Pour back into the glass ranch dressing jar. And, darn it, there will be more than will fit. Looks like you can start eating this immediately!
This jalapeno ranch dressing goes great on this BBQ Chicken Salad:
Add these Potato Pancakes on the side and you have one amazing meal:

As soon as I read Sticky Fingers' Gallery prompt I knew I had to take part.
Since I got myself a proper-ish camera last year I've been experimenting with it as much as possible.
Lot's a of pictures don't work out, but the odd one does, which make it all worth while.
Here's my extreme close up of my little man. What's he's thinking is anyone's guess. Though knowing him it's probably 'I wonder what's for lunch' or 'Can you eat clouds?'
For more extreme close ups head on over to The Gallery.

A1GP qualifying results are in from Sepang, and A1 Team Switzerland's Neel Jani's sealed his second straight pole position in the Malaysian Grand Prix, beating out Kiwi Jonny Reid and the highly-precise German racer Nico H lkenberg by only two tenths of a second. Team USA's Philip Giebler came in at the middle of the pack, placing 11th in this week's race of the "World Cup of Motorsport." The results determine the starting positions for a 20-minute sprint race starting around 11:00 AM local time tomorrow. If anyone's left who hasn't crashed on the oft-soaked Sepang track — then the results of that sprint race will determine the grid for the 70-minuite feature race set to commence at 3:00 PM local time tomorrow. Wonder if NASCAR should maybe switch to that format — It would certainly be a way to add some excitement, eh? We'll have more coverage pending any spectacular crashes and/or death-defying (or non-defying as it were) racing, as it occurs. UPDATE: Now with updated and correct picture!
