Ride Home 8/23 & Ride In 8/24: um, we've all seen fire and rain. they're pretty common things. you're not special, James Taylor.
I suppose, if ever, my bike commute last night became marginally interesting when I was riding in the bike lane behind a woman who was driving a Prius. She hadn't drifted into the bike lane, as sometimes drivers do and she wasn't halfway in, as sometimes drivers are. She was just driving in the bike lane. Clearly, there was some misunderstanding on her part. Maybe I should forgive her or maybe we shouldn't let people who can't distinguish between a bike lane and not a bike lane drive cars. Either/or. I think the worst was when she slowed to a stop so the impatient driver behind her could more easily pass. Incredible. When I see stuff like this, I think I'm less angry than I am (rightfully) frightened for my safety and well-being. It makes me sad. It's much harder to forgive kooky and wacky driving when you're in the position to much worse feel its impacts (hopefully not literally).
A guy on a CaBi rode in a circle around me as I waited to the light to change at 11th and L. Like a shark or a bird of prey, or maybe like the water flushed down a toilet bowl.
Saw this on a bollard along Pennsylvania Avenue:
Because it's white chocolate chip cookies, I think it's some sort of statement about gentrification.
It is my new life mission to try to ruin any picture of any DC monument taken by the driver of a moving car. A person has to have goals in life, right? This seems appropriately petty to be one of mine. Honestly, please don't do this.
I do love tourists, though, and they love Bikeshare. This is both statistically true and anecdotally true. I don't know what kind of other kinds broad generalizations we can make about Bikeshare as it approaches its second birthday, but I sort of can't imagine DC without it.
Livable, Walkable, Joggable? But maybe not in the bike lane?
Friend of the blog Michael has blogged his ride. If you've always wanted to bike along the C&O Canal Towpath but don't have time, I encourage you to scroll down the page really fast. It's like a flip book. Or, conversely, you could just make some time and actually do the ride since that's also fun.
A long time ago, I decided that I would accept money to sing in public. Rather than keep this money, I would give it to WABA, so they could, I don't know, do bike stuff with it. And now the details of where I shall sing (while wearing a tuxedo) are to be made available. So here they are:
Sunday, August 26 around/after 7PM
Banana Cafe
You may attend. In fact, I'd really like it if you came not only because I have the pipes of a young Sinatra (I know this plumber in Hoboken) but because it might be fun to see you watching me watch you as you see me sing. I'll also bring some buttons if you'd still like to buy one/another one. So yeah, that's happening. Woo. Please promote this event widely as I'd prefer to have a large audience who will clap for me no matter what. Also, please clap for me no matter what.
On my ride in, I was told by a Capitol Police officer "Bike lane, sir, bike lane" after I found myself riding not in the bike lane because I had left it to pass another cyclist. First of all, it's amply legal for me not to ride in the bike lane. Secondly, leave me alone. Thirdly, if the reaction he was hoping for was anything other than my continuing to ride down the center of the lane, he would've been sorely disappointed. Stuff like this chafes me because it's needlessly antagonistic. If my riding my bicycle somehow endangers the Capitol, feel free to intercede. Otherwise, get over it. And I suppose I should do the same.
Black Volvos are black BMWs with a soul. In Buffy parlance, they're basically Angel.
I rode up 11th to New York Avenue and then took that down across past the White House. This route took me out of my way, but better riding longer than waiting at even one red light. Although, then instead of waiting at one red light on Penn, I waited at three on 11th and then two more on New York Avenue. Whoops.
Coffee means comity.
After staying too late, I rode with minor haste up 15th then across R and up Massachusetts. Someday I'll ride across 15th, up R and across Massachusetts but not today because today I didn't have time to switch up my prepositions.

Hate it when people try to act like they know the law to force us to be more convenient for them. Last week had a guy zoom past me quite close on 5th btw. E.Cap and A NE. I raised my hand and to my surprise he stopped and rolled down his window. The first thing he said was to ask me whether I wasn't supposed to be riding further to the right (implicitly acknowledging the close pass). I replied that he needed to pass with at least three feet of clearance. He then said that he'd read the DC Bike Laws just LAST WEEK! I replied that nowhere does it say I have to stay as far right as possible, calling his bluff. He zoomed off. I waved goodbye.ReplyDelete
Some tourists from Florida, when I was still working at a job where I rented bikes to tourists, were trying to borrow helmets from us. They were REALLY excited about these cute red bikes that they had because "We only paid $7 per bike for 24 hours!" When I tried to explain to them how the pricing actually works, they didn't believe me.ReplyDelete
I am of the opinion that their marketing is purposefully misleading.

Sensation (art exhibition)
Sensation was an exhibition of the collection of contemporary art owned by Charles Saatchi, including many works by Young British Artists, (YBAs), which first took place 18 September – 28 December 1997 at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and later toured to the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin and the Brooklyn Museum in New York City. A proposed showing at the National Gallery of Australia was cancelled when the gallery's director decided the exhibition was "too close to the market."
The show generated controversy in London and New York City due to the inclusion of images of Myra Hindley and the Virgin Mary. It was criticised by New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani and others for attempting to boost the value of the work by showing it in institutions and public museums.[1]
The artworks in Sensation were from the collection of Charles Saatchi, a leading collector, advertising mogul and publiciser of contemporary art. Norman Rosenthal, the Royal Academy of Arts exhibitions secretary, helped to stage the 110 works by 42 different artists. Many of the pieces had already become famous, or notorious, with the British public (for example, Damien Hirst's shark suspended in formaldehyde titled The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, Tracey Emin's tent titled Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995), Marc Quinn's self-portrait (a frozen head made from pints of his own blood) and Sarah Lucas's explicitly sexual images and sculptures. Others had already achieved prominence in other ways, such as a successful advertising campaign using an idea from Gillian Wearing's photographs. Sensation was the first time that a wide audience had had the chance to see these works en masse. The Royal Academy posted this disclaimer to visitors on entry:
There will be works of art on display in the Sensation exhibition which some people may find distasteful. Parents should exercise their judgment in bringing their children to the exhibition. One gallery will not be open to those under the age of 18.[2]
The opening of Sensation at the Royal Academy of Arts caused a public furore and a media frenzy, with both broadsheet and tabloid journalists falling over themselves to comment on the show's controversial images, and unprecedented crowds queuing up to see for themselves what all the fuss was about. Around a quarter of the RA's 80 academicians gave a warning that the exhibition was inflammatory. They and some members of the public complained about several other exhibits, notably the installations by Jake and Dinos Chapman, which were of child mannequins with noses replaced by penises and mouths in the form of an anus.
However, the biggest media controversy was over Myra, an image of the murderer Myra Hindley by Marcus Harvey.[2]
The Mothers Against Murder and Aggression protest group picketed the show, accompanied by Winnie Johnson, the mother of one of Hindley's victims.[3] They asked for the portrait, which is made up of hundreds of copies of a child's handprint, to be excluded to protect Johnson's feelings. Along with supporters she picketed the show's first day. Myra Hindley sent a letter from jail suggesting that her portrait be removed from the exhibition, reasoning that such action was necessary because the work was "a sole disregard not only for the emotional pain and trauma that would inevitably be experienced by the families of the Moors victims but also the families of any child victim."[4][5] Despite all the protest the painting remained hanging. Windows at Burlington House, the Academy's home, were smashed and two demonstrators hurled ink and eggs at the picture as a result, requiring it to be removed and restored. It was put back on display behind Perspex[6] and guarded by security men.
In a press conference on 16 September 1997, David Gordon, Secretary of the Royal Academy commented on the controversial portrait: "The majority view inside the Academy was that millions and millions of images of Myra Hindley have been reproduced in newspapers and magazines. Books have been written about the murders. Television programmes have been made. Hindley's image is in the public domain; part of our consciousness; an awful part of our recent social history; a legitimate subject for journalism – and for art."
The show was extremely popular with the general public, attracting over 300,000 visitors during its run,[6] helped by the media attention which the strong subject matter had received. The BBC described it as "gory images of dismembered limbs and explicit pornography".[7]
Sensation was shown at the Berlin's Hamburger Bahnhof museum (30 September 1998 – 30 January 1999) and proved so popular that it was extended past its original closing date of 28 December 1998. For art critic Nicola Kuhn from Der Tagesspiegel, there was "no sensation about Sensation". She claimed that the Berlin audience found the yBa's work "more sad and serious than irreverent, funny and dazzling"[8]
New York City[edit]
The exhibition was shown in New York City at the Brooklyn Museum from 2 October 1999 to 9 January 2000. The New York City show was met with instant protest, centring on The Holy Virgin Mary by Chris Ofili, which had not provoked this reaction in London. While the press reported that the piece was "smeared", "splattered" or "stained" with elephant dung,[9][10] Ofili's work in fact showed a carefully rendered black Madonna decorated with a resin-covered lump of elephant dung. The figure is also surrounded by small collaged images of female genitalia from pornographic magazines; these seemed from a distance to be the traditional cherubim.
New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who had seen the work in the catalogue but not in the show, called it "sick stuff" and threatened to withdraw the annual $7 million City Hall grant from the Brooklyn Museum hosting the show, because "You don't have a right to government subsidy for desecrating somebody else's religion."[6] Cardinal John O'Connor, the Archbishop of New York, said, "one must ask if it is an attack on religion itself," and the president of America's biggest group of Orthodox Jews, Mandell Ganchrow, called it "deeply offensive".[11] William A. Donohue, President of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said the work "induces revulsion".[6] Giuliani started a lawsuit to evict the museum, and Arnold Lehman, the museum director, filed a federal lawsuit against Giuliani for a breach of the First Amendment.[11]
Hillary Clinton spoke up for the museum, as did the New York Civil Liberties Union.[12] The editorial board of The New York Times said, Giuliani's stance "promises to begin a new Ice Age in New York's cultural affairs."[13] The paper also carried a full-page advertisement in support signed by over 100 actors, writers and artists, including Susan Sarandon, Steve Martin, Norman Mailer, Arthur Miller, Kurt Vonnegut and Susan Sontag.[11] Ofili, who is Roman Catholic, said, "elephant dung in itself is quite a beautiful object."[11]
The United States House of Representatives passed a nonbinding resolution to end federal funding for the museum on 3 October 1999, and New York City did stop funding to the Brooklyn Museum. On 1 November, federal judge Nina Gershon ordered the City not only to restore the funding that was denied to the Museum, but also to refrain from continuing its ejectment action. On 16 December 1999, a 72-year-old man was arrested for criminal mischief after smearing the Ofili painting with white paint, which was soon removed.[14] The museum produced a yellow stamp, saying the artworks on show "may cause shock, vomiting, confusion, panic, euphoria and anxiety."[11] and Ofili's painting was shown behind a Plexiglass screen, guarded by a museum attendant and an armed police officer.[13] Jeffrey Hogrefe, art critic for the New York Observer, commented about the museum, "They wanted to get some publicity and they got it. I think it was pretty calculated."[6] The editor-in-chief of the New York City Art & Auction magazine, Bruce Wolmer,said: "When the row eventually fades the only smile will be on the face of Charles Saatchi, a master self-promoter."[11]
The show was scheduled to open in June 1999 at the National Gallery of Australia, but was cancelled with the director, Brian Kennedy, saying that, although it was due to be funded by the Australian government, it was "too close to the market" since finance for the Brooklyn exhibition included $160,000 from Saatchi, who owned the work; $50,000 from Christie's, who had sold work for Saatchi; and $10,000 from dealers of many of the artists.[15] Kennedy said he was unaware of this when he accepted the show. Saatchi's contribution, the largest single one, was not disclosed by the Brooklyn Museum, until it appeared in court documents.[15] Similarly, when the show opened in London at the Royal Academy, there had been criticisms that it would raise the value of the work.[15]

For Immediate Release, June 22, 2012

Study: Rising Seas Will Inflict Serious Damage Along U.S. West Coast
Stronger Action Needed to Protect United States From Climate Change
SAN FRANCISCO— In a report released today, the U.S. National Research Council concluded that average global sea level is likely to rise two to three times higher within this century than previously estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007. Along the U.S. West Coast, California will be particularly hard-hit. Most of the California coast will experience more than three feet of sea-level rise, which will inflict serious damage; a large earthquake could cause sea level to rise suddenly by another three feet or more.
"The harms of climate change are all around us, but our leaders have failed to act to reduce this threat," said Shaye Wolf, climate science director at the Center for Biological Diversity, which has advocated for years to secure powerful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. "Today's warning, coming from our country's leading scientific advisors, sends an urgent message to our president and other policymakers: We need strong action, right now, to avert climate catastrophe."
The research council estimated that global sea levels will rise 20 to 55 inches (50 to 140 centimeters) by 2100. Along the West Coast, sea-level rise will be greatest off the California coast and somewhat less (two feet) off Washington and Oregon. Rising seas, coupled with increased frequency of extreme weather events due to climate change, will increase flooding damage, coastal erosion and wetland loss.
Deep and rapid greenhouse gas cuts are needed in order to avoid the most extreme and damaging sea-level rise and other climate change impacts; the technology and legal tools to implement deep reductions are available today, with only political will absent. In the United States, the Clean Air Act is our leading tool for curbing greenhouse gas pollution. For four decades, the Act's successful programs have reduced dangerous pollution, saving many thousands of lives. The Act has achieved major public-health gains while saving us money and benefiting our economy.
The law is now under attack from polluters and their allies in Congress, and to date the EPA's implementation of the Act for greenhouse pollution has been too slow and tentative to address the urgency of the challenges we face.
More than two dozen cities across the U.S. have joined the Center's Clean Air Cities campaign urging President Barack Obama and the EPA to use the Clean Air Act to address the global climate crisis and reduce carbon in our atmosphere to no more than 350 parts per million, the level needed to reach to avoid catastrophic climate change.
The Center for Biological Diversity is a national, nonprofit conservation organization with more than 375,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.

Mourners attending the Requiem Mass of Cookstown runner Fergal Mulgrew today heard him described as a "true gentleman."
Parish priest Fr Patrick Hughes said Fergal's death was "unbelievable" and came as a great shock to his family and the wider community.
Several hundred attended Mr Mulgrew's funeral in Church of St Mary, Dunamore, today not far from his late residence.
"He was all into his sports but he was also family orientated," said Fr Hughes. "He was a devoted son to his parents Gerry and Brigid and sisters Sinead and Roisin, who will miss him dearly."
Mourners heard that 40-year-old Mr Mulgrew had been training for the Dublin Marathon later this month.
It is understood that he suddenly became ill while finishing a circuit with a friend in the remote Davagh Forest in the Sperrin mountains outside Cookstown.
He is believed to have collapsed in the car park and, despite the best efforts of his friend and medics, did not regain consciousness.
"One does not expect someone like Fergal, who was so fit, to die," said the parish priest.
"He worked overseas as a joiner in recent years and he came from a large family circle of Mulgrews and Loughrans."
Fr Hughes asked mourners to remember the family in their prayers at this difficult time.
Members of Acorns Athletics and Kildress GAC were among those who turn out to pay their final respects.
There have been many tributes to Mr Mulgrew posted on social media since his death.
Acorns AC chairman Trevor Dallas the club had the pleasure of knowing Fergal through a shared passion of running.
"He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word, an inspiration to many but above all else, our friend.
"We will take great comfort and strength from having him our lives."

Internet traffic monitor Akamai Technologies says its data supports what another group has reported: That Syria pretty much dropped off the Internet on Thursday morning.
Akamai traffic data supports @renesys observation ( renesys.com/eventsbulletin…) that Syria is effectively off the Internet http://t.co/haNHwb5y—
StateOfTheInternet (@akamai_soti) November 29, 2012
The other Internet monitoring group, Renesys, said more than 90% of the Internet access in Syria was shut down on Thursday. It was not clear who was behind the latest event, but the government has intermittently cut off Internet access several times in the past two years.
Grow up.
Sure hope she gets back online. And hope that Syrian people are spared more blood shed. The foreign induced implosion has spiraled out of control.
There are news today that we are considering directly arming the 'rebels'.
Sorry to hear about your friend @ revnow and i will say a prayer for her tonite. Just as i do for the Syrian children every nite. Sad state of affairs in that country but the kids are the real victims.
The cash registers are already going ka-ching for thr millions being paid to deliver ammo.
THE financials in every euro centri are pushing numbers of how much a loan nation will need to rebuild and what resources and percentages of interest to charge the ones being armed by US and its allies.
NATO only going to suport Hillarys choice of who to support.
No phone, no Internet, no way therefore for the outside world to know what is going on (so it would seem). Sounds like a recipe for genocide to me. Very scary.

A health warning issued after a parasite was found in the water supply in parts of Lancashire will remain in place until next week, United Utilities have said.
Residents were urged to boil their drinking water on Thursday after traces of the bug cryptosporidium – a microscopic parasite which can cause stomach cramps and diarrhoea - was found at Franklaw Water treatment plant in Catterall, near Garstang.
United Utilities bosses on Friday confirmed that the notice would be in place over the weekend and into next week.
Supermarkets are being cleared of bottled water following the find, with charities calling for help in providing bottled water.
Leaders at the Foxton Centre in Preston have asked for donations of water ahead of Saturday's "Sat Caf".
United Utilities have been advising customers via Twitter if they are ill or have medical issues to get in touch, to be provided with water.
They also said they had already been in contact, directly, with dialysis patients.

MIAMI — Sonia Rodriguez whipped up milk-and-espresso drinks at the Latin American Grill as talk turned to a new push in Congress to tighten restrictions on travel to Cuba. Like growing numbers of Cuban-Americans, she's worried about the U.S. reinstating strict limits on how often she can visit relatives and even how much money can be sent to loved ones on the island.
Rodriguez left Cuba 11 years ago. Like many in South Florida, she is worried Congress might succeed in bringing back the Bush-era of travel only once every three years and a $1,200 annual cap on annual remittances. Also under way is an effort to restore stricter limits on the kinds of educational and cultural exchanges now permitted with the authoritarian government of Raul and Fidel Castro.
Supporters say new restrictions would stop a lucrative travel business and money flow that props up a communist dictatorship.
Story: Anthony Bourdain on taking 'No Reservations' to Cuba
"Of course the government gets some of our money, but what are we going to do? Should our families starve?" responded Rodriguez, as she served patrons at the walk-up window of the cafe in the Miami suburb of Doral.
She sends money to her mother. Of her last visit, she added: "I couldn't even spend money on taking my mother out. I just had to buy the basics, milk, toilet paper — those kinds of things."
Soon after taking office, President Barack Obama eased the family travel restrictions to pre-Bush administration levels. He has also issued regulations encouraging travel opportunities for religious, cultural and educational groups. Pure tourist travel is still prohibited under the U.S. trade embargo imposed on Cuba decades ago.
But two Republican Cuban-American congressmen from Miami-area districts are sponsoring measures to roll back the Obama changes, highlighting the division between those who left Cuba long ago and those who arrived more recently and still have ties to the Caribbean nation.
Last week, the Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee approved a sweeping bill targeting a Cuba travel and remittances. Republicans and Democrats on the panel backed the move pushed by Rep. David Rivera, R-Fla.
Rivera says the Bush limits were enacted because of abuses to the system, and that a visit once every three years was a reasonable compromise. There is currently no limit on the number of trips Cuban-Americans can make to visit family in Cuba.
Although the full House likely will approve the bill this fall, its prospects are bleak in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart has pushed for a narrower measure targeting only Cuban-Americans. His measure is part of a must-pass financial spending bill, although Senate Democrats could oppose the provision on Cuba. All but certain is opposition from the Obama administration.

"This is not a humanitarian issue," he said. "People who go there ten or fifteen times a year. It's become a business, and a very lucrative business for the Castro regime."
At the Latin American Grill, customer Juan Manuel Gomez represents the view of many who — like Diaz-Balart's family — left just before or after Cuba's 1959 revolution. Gomez came to the U.S. from Cuba a half century ago when he was 7.
"Fidel shot my uncle and my cousins after the Bay of Pigs," Gomez said. "The only way I would go back to Cuba is if Castro is gone. No other exceptions."
Gomez said many newer Cubans have come more for economic opportunities than for political freedom and don't share his views.
"These days, I'm the exception," he said. "They're status quo."
Rodriguez busied herself with the espresso machine as Gomez spoke. When he left, she said quietly: "I understand how he feels, but I don't support the Cuban government. I just don't want my mother to go hungry."
Gomez may be increasingly in the minority, but those who share his views are more likely to have become U.S. citizens and vote than newer arrivals — even though many of the more recent arrivals live in the two congressmen's districts. The second generation is less likely in general to make Cuba a litmus test.
Still, some general tour companies do appear to be taking advantage of the new rules to provide travel that sounds a lot like tourism.
Adventure travel company Betty Maclean Travel Inc. is offering a luxury tour of Cuba starting in September, touting its connection to a registered not-for-profit group authorized to organize the travel.
That rankles some in powerful quarters. In Washington, the US Cuba Democracy PAC supports a strong embargo of Cuba including limits on travel and boasts a donor list of some of Miami's wealthiest Cuban-Americans.
"Foreign tourism is a huge moneymaker for the brutal Castro dictatorship. It is important that the U.S. strengthen pressure against the Cuban regime, and prevent the Castros from being further enriched and empowered by tourist dollars," said Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and also Cuban-American.
Travel charters for the Cuban-American community also have gained under the Obama changes. In the past, people were more likely to fly out of third countries. On Wednesday, the agency ABC Charters announced an agreement with Tampa International Airport to provide charter flights to the island for Cuban-Americans.
ABC owner Tessie Aral supports unfettered travel to Cuba. She acknowledged some fellow Cuban-Americans take advantage of the system but says they're the minority.
"Don't' try to take us back to the past. It didn't work then. It won't work now," she said.
She showed The Associated Press petitions signed by more than 1,500 individuals who identified themselves as Cuban-Americans living in Diaz-Balart's district — all collected in the past week. They want the representative to drop his efforts and to meet with them.
Diaz-Balart has refused to receive the petitions as his policy is not to meet with anyone who does business with "totalitarian regimes."
Agencies that charter planes to Cuba must pay a fee to Cuba's national tourism agency.
Back at the Latin American Grill, located in Diaz-Balart's district, it's not just the newer arrivals who oppose renewed restrictions.
Customer Clemente Vera's father was jailed by Fidel Castro in 1962 before he fled Cuba. Vera, a general contractor born in the U.S., says he won't visit Cuba out of respect for his father.
But after listening to Gomez, Vera said he disagrees: "(Castro) did him a lot of harm, so for someone to go to Cuba for him would be terrible, but a lot of people have family there and want to see them and help them. I can understand that."

As a subcategory in the broader field of insurance, health insurance is the section that covers part of the health expenses incurred by an insured person. Today, there are different kinds of health insurance plans available. Depending on the coverage, there are two possibilities when an insured individual seeks medical services. Either the insurance company pays the medical service provider directly, or the insured person covers the costs with an out-of-pocket payment and is later reimbursed by his or her insurer.
As a health insurance comparison website, Wirefly offers more than free online quotes. It also makes it easy to compare the different types of health insurance plans available in New Park, PA.
Although employers and private insurance companies are the most common providers of health insurance in New Park, PA, it is also available to low-income earners through Medicaid and to senior citizens via Medicare. Compared to private insurance companies, Medicaid and Medicare provide health insurance services at a significantly lower cost. There are several levels of coverage included in this type of insurance. While the least expensive plans usually cover catastrophic events only, high-cost plans will most certainly provide full coverage. As a result, people often try to anticipate their medical care needs before deciding the most suitable health insurance plan.
Since it is difficult to know exactly what medical costs will be incurred throughout the year, it can be tricky to determine the amount of health coverage you need. Using an indicator to estimate upcoming costs can assist you in making an educated guess regarding future medical expenses. For instance, if you are generally healthy and only visit your physician on an infrequent basis, a low-cost plan may provide sufficient coverage for your situation. Alternatively, if you have been diagnosed with a chronic disease that requires frequent doctor's visits, you may want to consider a higher cost plan that includes a wider range of coverage.
Catastrophic-only insurance offers one of the lowest-priced options for health insurance coverage in New Park, PA. This is ideal for individuals who rarely visit the doctor or only wish to be covered in the event of a significant emergency. Alternatively, if you travel often or participate in dangerous activities, it may be wise to have a plan that covers visits to the ER or regular visits to a physician.
Plans that offer more coverage usually come with a more costly monthly premium. Essentially, this means that a higher monthly premium will equate to lower health care costs in the event of a claim. For this reason, it is essential to evaluate your health history and lifestyle to determine the most economical option based on your specific needs. Be sure to cover the basics and increase your coverage as needed or as your budget allows.
Several types of health insurance plans are available in New Park, PA. Although these health insurance plans may offer similar coverage levels, their convenience of use and flexibility may vary. Choices include a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), Point of Service Plan (POS), Health Savings Account (HSA), Health Reimbursement Agreement (HRA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), and Medical Savings Account (MSA). There are many options, and comparing them may seem confusing. Before selecting a health insurance plan, however, it is important to recognize the basic differences between them.
An HMO, or Health Maintenance Organization in New Park, PA, is a network that requires the insured to select a primary care physician (PCP) to act as the gatekeeper for your health care and related needs. If you need to visit a specialist, the primary care doctor must refer you to the specialist. He or she decides if it is necessary for you to see a specialist. HMOs typically have lower premiums than other plans, but the network of doctors available to the insured may be limited. If the insured wants to see a doctor outside of the HMO network, these doctors might not accept the HMO insurance plan. On the plus side, many HMO plans have no deductibles and out-of-pocket costs are usually reasonable.
A PPO plan, or Preferred Provider Organization, usually offers a large network of health care providers to the insured. He or she may choose any primary care doctor within the PPO network and see specialists without a referral from the primary care physician. Although the insured receives the best financial deal from in-network doctors and hospitals, he or she receives partial financial assistance for out-of-network doctors, specialists, and hospitals as well. PPO participants usually pay deductibles and copayments. Limits may apply concerning annual out-of-pocket costs.
A variety of non-traditional health insurance plans are available in New Park, PA, such as a Health Savings Account (HSA), a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), a Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA), and a Medical Savings Account (MSA). These approaches operate on the idea that you and/or your employer set money aside in a tax-free savings account for any medical-related expenses. Money in the plan may be used to pay for doctor visits, surgeries, prescriptions, and some over-the-counter medicines. These health care plans offer a great deal of flexibility concerning how the money is used. Some plans allow users to rollover money from year-to-year.
Health insurance premiums are the amount paid each month to receive coverage. The premiums paid are not returned to you, even if the subscribers do not use the insurance benefits. Deductibles are additional money that must be paid to healthcare providers for services received where the health insurance company doesn't cover the whole cost of the procedure.
Out of pocket costs are treated differently than deductibles. Health insurance providers require a minimum amount to be paid by a subscriber before they will begin to pay for services; this is what's referred to as the deductible. Out of pocket refers to the amount of money that must be paid by the subscriber before their health insurance will pay 100% of medical costs incurred. Both the out of pocket and deductible amounts paid reset each time the plan renews, which is generally annually, and are not eligible to roll over to the next year. While this is a general rule, there are some health insurance plans in New Park, PA that allow an exception for deductibles paid in the previous year may count toward the deductible amount only for the first quarter of the new plan year.
Health insurance co-pays and co-insurance refers to the subscriber's responsibility to pay certain amounts for a medical visit or for a given procedure. As an example, if the PCP co-pay on a health insurance plan is $25, then the subscriber can expect to pay $25 each time he or she visits their primary care physician. The insurance company will cover the balance of what the physician charges for a visit and the co-pay amount.
Most health insurance companies that provide coverage in New Park, PA will have an allowance for a maximum lifetime benefit under their plan. This amount is usually quite large and doesn't come into play for most subscribers and is meant to protect the insurance company from being responsible exorbitant medical expenses. Once this maximum amount is met, the insurance provider will not make any further payments for the subscriber.
In today's market, the subscriber's employment status determines which health insurance plans may be available to purchase. Large employers will generally provide health insurance as a benefit of employment. The employer shares part of the premium costs making this method of access to insurance more affordable than most. Employees are not required to participate in the group plan sponsored by their employers, but it benefits them in most cases.
Self-employed individuals, or those who do not work, are able to buy health insurance in the private market. Seniors, low-income families, and unemployed individuals may be able to apply for and receive premium assistance through the government, usually under a service called Medicaid.
If a subscriber already has a family physician or a specialist they see for treatment in the New Park, PA area, it's important to check with a potential new insurance provider to ensure the physician is in the plan's network. The subscriber also must notify their physicians when coverage changes so the proper health insurance company can be billed for expenses.
You already know how important it is to have a good health insurance plan for yourself and your family. Now you need to find out which plan and company offer the best options that fit your needs. There are many options to consider, and choosing a health insurance plan in New Park, PA can be an overwhelming experience.

IR - Worth a Thousand Words
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2008 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 07, 2008
An infrared camera can become a top tool in your home performance toolbox.
An infrared camera and the ability to understand and interpret thermal images help contractors to find sources of energy loss, and to confirm that the problem has been solved. Energy conservation is the hot topic today, and the need to reduce ever-increasing energy costs is a priority. Homeowners are looking to contractors for help in finding the sources of energy loss, and in making improvements that will realize the greatest possible savings. To meet this demand, today's residential remodeling contractors need to be about more than design and aesthetics. They need to think in terms of high performance and energy efficiency on every job. An infrared camera and the ability to understand and interpret thermal images helps contractors to find sources of energy loss, and to confirm that the problem has been solved after the necessary work on the home has been done. IR 101 Thermal, or infrared, energy is light that is not visible because its wavelength is too long to be detected by the human eye. It is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Unlike visible light, everything in the infrared world with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat.&...

Andrew Lam (AR'14) receives 2014 RSA US Student Design Awards
POSTED ON: May 6, 2014
Andrew Lam (AR'14) received the Architecture Internship with Grimshaw Architects and the Techmer PM Award for Designcraft Project: Free Trade Zone in Transit at the 2014 Royal Society of Arts U.S. Student Design Awards.
Project Description:
Once the most important trading route that connected the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, the Panama Canal, endured a history of political and cultural strife that specifically dealt with the autonomous control of the waterway between the Republic of Panama and the United States of America. More than a decade later, after the handover of the canal back to Panama, the country is now facing a new shift in global interests. With the growing economical demand of the international community, the size of container ships has redefined the ownership of the Panama Canal; as a canal belonging to the world. My project deals with the internal workings of the Panama Canal as well as the growth in container vessels, as a way to create a new urbanism which involves the use of boats and floating programmatic spaces. It will be a community created on the basis of trade and interaction between the vessels and boats, and also a way to urbanize areas where activity is stagnant.

Workshop Proceeding
Opportunities and Priorities in Arctic Geoscience (1991)Polar Research Board
There is broad agreement in the scientific community that the solid earth beneath the Arctic Ocean basin contains answers to major unsolved problems in the earth sciences and that many of these pertain to questions that are of global scientific significance or pressing societal concern. Recent political and technological developments, including the end of the Cold War and the prospective availability of nuclear submarines and powerful icebreakers for use as research platforms, appear to provide remedies for formidable obstacles of communication and access in harsh environmental conditions. This book recommends that the Arctic Ocean basin and its margins be the focus of a research program in three stages of study based on selected criteria: geologic framework and tectonic evolution, the sedimentary record and environmental history, and arctic geologic processes and environmental indicators.

From UK information security consultants Franklin Heath Ltd:
Although the Enigma cipher as a whole is quite complex (it's complexity is comparable to modern cryptographic algorithms) the individual transformations within it are relatively simple. In fact, they are simple enough that you can decipher an Enigma message with just a paper model.
Our model is three-dimensional, to illustrate the wiring of a real Enigma machine. It needs only common household items to construct, and is completely compatible with all settings of a real Enigma machine (models I, M1, M2 and M3).
Their wiki page also includes a brief history of paper enigma models that traces the origins of this method back to Alan Turing's hypothetical "comic strips" model from his 1942 Treatise on the Enigma. To make it, download the PDFs, print them out, cut them out, and apply them to a 75mm diameter cardboard tube. [via Boing Boing]

nmalhot necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 25 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
We have developed a new html-based, browser game called Race Kings. The game is in dire need of a professionally designed homepage and template.
Race Kings
Desired Color Scheme:
Desired Style:
Fun, Fast, Vibrant
Accepted File Formats:
Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
The current game can be viewed here: http://racekings.flizzo.com/
This is a competitors game site: http://www.nittolegends.com/
Obviously, we're worlds apart in terms of the professionalism and fun factor and we need to close the gap.
What we're looking for:
1) Homepage design. This contest will be for the homepage design and the homepage must incorporate the following:
a) a very visible "Register Free" link
b) a login/password area for existing players
c) a counter for players online
d) a 250x250 area to display latest race winners.
e) a header/footer (possibly same as homepage but probably the homepage wouldn't have the same header links)
f) stylized treatment for the name "Race Kings" in the header and incorporated into the homepage design.
g) The homepage should include a short description of the game .... "Race Kings is a round-based game of grand theft auto and stat based racing. It's free and requires no download."
2) An interior page design that includes:
a) the standard header/footer that would be used on all interior pages. The header navigation items will be: HOME, RACE, CARS, MISSIONS, TARGETS, RANKS, MESSAGES, SYNDICATE, HELP
b) a standard table layout to be used to display tabular data in the game. For example, http://www.nittolegends.com/default.aspx the right has their table of Top Steet Cred, Top Ballers, etc. We don't like their table much, but all throughout the game we need to present tabular data and so want a professionally designed look for our tables. We really like the tables we see on this page: http://www.nittolegends.com/1320Sho…ault.aspx their membership packages.
Obviously these designs will require some stock photos.  We will buy any stock photos required but the winner must use only available stock photos that we can easily purchase.
We expect to have several hundred dollars in follow-up work for the contest winner to do small things like buttons, icons, additional custom headers, etc. We would pay for this work outside of this contest.

When composing a reply I want to append a string such as ".readnotify.com" to the address in the "To" field.
I assume this will first require that the "to" field be trimmed down to display only the unbracketed (no "< >") email address (firstname.lastname@example.com) without the contact's display name. How?
Then there is the question of which tool to use in making this happen, an event procedure or an outgoing filter calling a script or what?

|What types of Banner access are available?
The Banner system serves as the central administrative system for housing data at North Carolina Central University.
What types of Banner access are available?
There are two types of Banner access, Banner Self Service and Internet Native Banner.
Internet Native Banner (INB) is used by administrative offices in the student and financial areas to view and maintain data and process transactions. It is also used to manage student and financial information. Specialized training and a formal security application are required for INB access. Please ensure that you have completed the Banner Finance Security Request Form prior to accessing the system.
Self Service Banner (SSB) is used by students, faculty and staff to manage their NCCU information. SSB is accessible through the Eagles Online portal commonly known as myEOL. Students and instructional faculty have access to Self-Service Banner by default. No access request is required in order to access the registration, advising, and student records system. Student and faculty members log into Banner SSB with their Banner ID (820 number) and their six digit pin. After the user has logged into Self-Service Banner for the first time the user will be prompted to change their Banner pin and set a security question and answer. Faculty members and students that are not aware of their Banner ID number should contact the Register's office. When users are uncertain of their Banner PIN or have been locked out due to too many unsuccessful attempts, user should contact ETAC at (919) 530-7676 or by emailing email@example.com.
*Note: When attempting to register, students may be asked to input their alternate pin. This pin can only be received from the students' academic advisor and purpose is to ensure the each student receives adequate academic guidance.
There are also several ancillary programs that work the Banner system. Some of the programs that we use with our Banner system are Banner Document Management Suite and WebFocus.
Banner Document Management Suite (BDMS) previously known as Xtender, launches documents and content directly from Banner. BDMS is specifically designed for higher education and provides imaging, document management, data capture, storage management, and output capture and report management for individual departments and for the entire institution.
With the Banner Document Management Suite, you can:
· Easily capture and organize any kind of electronic documents
· Link documents to information in the Banner Unified Digital Campus
· View documents directly from Banner or outside of Banner
· Create custom document collections without customization services or programming
· Capture data from paper and faxes with sophisticated record matching
· Distribute documents in client/server and web-based environments
· Automatically capture and index any letters, billing statements, reports, or other output
· Use virtualized storage and automatic archival and back-up of managed content
· Scale to meet long-term, institution-wide document management needs
For assistance with BDMS, please contact Siobahn Day by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, submit a work order at http://helpdesk.nccu.edu or call (919) 530-7676 and Select Option "1".
WebFocus is a software tool used to retrieve data and reports from Banner. WebFocus allows users to develop on-demand reports that users can run from their desktop. Desktop reports can be distributed to end users through the Dashboard, which is a web link established through the coordination of report writers for each specific module.

|Area 51: The Alien Interview (1997)
|Review: Documentary investigating footage allegedly taken of government agents interviewing an alien. To me it's clearly a hoax, but it's received a lot of attention... You be the judge
|Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World - UFOs (1980)
|Review: See remarkable photos and film of innumerable UFOs observed around the world. Explore Project Starlight International, a million dollar laser project created to signal incoming spaceships. Analyze with experts one of the most celebrated UFO films and discover the real story. Hear the account of a forester who was confronted by a spaceship and aliens, and see the evidence that is hard to discount.
|BBC: The Planets - Life (1999)
|Review: Is life on Earth a solitary and miraculous event, or a natural consequence of planet building? Life may have gained its first foothold on Mars and been seeded on Earth by a meteorite.
|Channel 4: Secret History - Incident at Roswell (1995)
|Review: This documentary, made by respected film maker John Purdie, is a serious examination of the mysterious events which took place in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.
|Channel 4: Universe - Alien Life (2000)
|Review: We've all seen aliens – in the movies at least. Now, hard scientific discoveries are making the case for extraterrestrials ever stronger. In our Solar System, warm oceans under the icy cover of Jupiter's moon Europa look like an ideal abode for life. Further afield, astronomers – in just a few years – have found more planets circling other stars than there are in the Solar System. And the raw materials of life are common in the Cosmos. Astronomers pursuing SETI – the search for extraterrestrial intelligence – are increasingly hopeful of picking up that first interstellar message.
|Circlemakers (2002)
|Review: Crop circle creators have revealed their secrets on a new video. The film, Circle Makers, produced by former circle maker Matthew Williams, features 11 experts being interviewed on camera, talking about their experiences. The film explores the man-made aspect of crop circles, but it also demonstrates how even the man-made formations appear to attract paranormal activity.
|Communion (1989)
|Review: On December 26, 1985, Whitley Strieber had a dream. Weeks later he discovered his family had the same dream. Months later he made the most shocking discovery of his life. Now you will discover it. Based on a true story.
|Cosmic Link, The (2000)
|Review: Where do we come from? The award-winning The Cosmic Link takes us on a fascinating odyssey, in the company of some world-renowned scientists whose discoveries into the natural world are providing some clues to this age-old question. Could the first life forms, which appeared some four billion years ago, have originated in organic cosmic dust? One thing is certain: all life on our planet shares some of the same genetic code and developed from the same evolutionary tree. But could life have evolved in a completely different way? What if there were living organisms with a genetic structure entirely unlike ours? The key to this mystery can be found in space.
|Crop Circles: Quest for Truth (2002)
|Review: Crop Circles: Quest for Truth is a compelling and provocative feature-length documentary full of never-before-seen footage and interviews with leading Crop Circles researchers and scientists, some of whom agreed to be on camera for the first time. The film is an in-depth examination of prevailing theories about the origin and nature of Crop Circles and the possible implications for us and for the future of Planet Earth.
|Disclosure Project, The (2002)
|Review: This 2 hour video is a distillation of over 120 hours of video interviews made by Dr. Steven Greer. Dozens of highly credible military and government witnesses discuss UFO events and projects they have worked on, with introductory and overview commentary by Dr. Greer. The video is divided into sections and is an excellent item to have and show to others, to get a full understanding of what the Project is about.
|Discovery Channel: Beyond the Truth - The Uninvited (1999)
|Review: Overview of the alien abduction mystery. Possibly the most comprehensive program on the subject ever produced, it features interviews with the likes of Nick Pope, Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs, John Mack, Whitley Strieber, Travis Walton, and Peter Robbins. There's also a rare interview with Linda Cortile, and footage of one of Budd's Support Group meetings. There are also interviews with Philip Klass, Dr. Chris French and Dr. Susan Blackmore.
|Discovery Channel: Conspiracies - Aliens (2001)
|Review: Are extraterrestrials behind phenomena such as mysterious lights in the sky, abductions and crop circles?
|Discovery Channel: Is E.T. Here? (1999)
|Review: Unidentified Flying Objects have a compelling attraction for anyone who has experienced them directly or indirectly. This documentary takes a look at the evidence - Is E.T. Here?
|Discovery Channel: Search for Alien Planets (2000)
|Review: Modern-day planet hunters explore new planets through original animation and NASA and Hubble telescope imagery.
|Discovery Channel: Solar Empires - Alien Neighbours (2001)
|Review: Alien Neighbors reviews recent discoveries of planets around other stars, possible oceans on Jupiter's moons and other thought-provoking ideas. Narrated by Michael Dorn.
|Discovery Channel: UFO Retrieval (1999)
|Review: So, what really happened at Roswell? Was the strange object really just a harmless weather balloon, a secret military aircraft...or, was it the most significant scientific finding in history?
|Evidence: The Case for NASA UFOs (2001)
|Review: David Sereda presents NASA footage that reveals remarkable discoveries in this two part series. He proves how the footage shows intelligent craft through the process of elimination of other plausible phenomena; fundamental principles of faster than light technology and corroborating evidence found on the disc shaped objects; links to the supposed spacecraft and an identifiable star system. Starring David Sereda and featuring television and film celebrity Dan Akroyd.
|Fire in the Sky (1993)
|Review: This film recreates the strange events which happened November 5, 1975 in the town Snowflake, Arizona. Travis Walton works as a logger in the woods. When he and his colleagues drive home after work, they encounter an UFO. For the next five days Travis disappears and his colleagues are accused of murder. When he reappears, first he didn't remember that he was gone, but in time the terrible memories come back... Based on a true story.
|History Channel: Conspiracy? Majestic 12: UFO Coverup (2004)
|Review: What really happened in Roswell, New Mexico in the summer of 1947? Did a flying saucer crash in the vast desert scrubland? The initial Army Air Force press release claimed they had recovered a flying disk. But a day later, the story dramatically changed -- now they called it a weather balloon! In 1987, secret documents surfaced indicating the existence of the "Majestic 12" -- an elite group of scientists and military and intelligence officials, allegedly brought together by President Harry Truman. Did the MJ-12 truly exist? If so, did these men forever trivialize the most talked-about UFO incident in history, as well as all UFO sightings thereafter?
|History Channel: Crop Circle Controversy (2003)
|Review: Today, it is widely accepted that many formations are manmade. But others resist attempts to explain them by conventional means. Crop circles remain, in large part, a mystery.
|History Channel: Incredible But True? Soviet UFO Secrets Revealed (2003)
|Review: Once-secret files help experts investigate some of the most puzzling paranormal incidents reported in the former Soviet Union.
|History Channel: Secrets of the Ancient World - Ancient Aliens (2002)
|Review: From the History Channel. In modern times, the first UFO was reported in 1947. But many people believe that aliens have been among us for thousands of years. And for evidence, they point to certain ancient texts and monuments. Do they, in fact, tell the story of extraterrestrial contact eons ago? Join the worlds leading UFO experts including the authors of the bestselling Alien Identities and Fingerprints of the Gods for an extraordinary investigation that journeys through human history in search of evidence of alien contact. Why do so many structures, from different societies worldwide, seem to point towards the same spot in the skies? What other possible explanation is there for the frequent references to strange flying objects in ancient texts? Do some clues point to the presence of aliens among the ancients themselves? With dramatic re-creations, footage from around the world and inspired scholarship, ANCIENT ALIENS attempts to uncover the truth.
|History Channel: UFOs - Then & Now? (2000)
|Review: From ancient cave paintings to the ongoing efforts to make first contact, this is an authoritative history of UFO sightings.
|History Channel: UFOs: What You Didn't Know - UFO Hot Spots (2002)
|Review: For those who study the UFO phenomenon, "UFO Hot Spots" are places around the globe known for a long history of UFO sightings and reports. From Brazil to Mexico, from Washington State to Florida, multiple witnesses, including air traffic controllers and even the military, confirm that something unexplained is repeatedly happening in the night sky. Tales of alien abductions, bizarre and chilling photographs of UFOs, and hours of videotape all abound as we search for UFO Hot Spots.
|NOVA: Origins (2004)
|Review: Has the universe always existed? How did it become a place that could harbor life? What was the birth of our planet like? Are we alone, or are there alien worlds waiting to be discovered? NOVA presents some startling new answers in "Origins," a groundbreaking four-part NOVA miniseries hosted by dynamic astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History. Tyson leads viewers on a cosmic journey to the beginning of time and into the distant reaches of the universe, searching for life's first stirrings and its traces on other worlds.
|Northern Lights: The Canadian UFO Experience (2004)
|Review: Halifax Filmmaker Michael MacDonald (The Shag Harbour UFO Incident) takes an epic view of the history of UFO sightings in North American since the end of the Second World War, with particular emphasis on incidents in Canada and Nova Scotia. Using animation, stock footage and a sly sense of humour, MacDonald shows how the whole "flying saucer�

It's a real shame for USA justice system that every now and then we see people becoming victims of state run security agencies and the justice system in USA fails to protect them.
We have seen a shameful example of Dr. Aafia Siddiqi who is still having terrible time in USA and also an old man with the name Nayyar Zaidi is going through a mental torture because of the USA system of justice.
We in Pakistan and other third world countries are used to of similar but a country which claims to be the most progressive civilization and a symbol of democracy should not have such things in their society.
It is quiet clear that Nayyar Zaidi was trapped by USA security agencies in a shamefully false case and the victim's family is getting not much help from the civil society of the world.
Therefore we appeal to the civil society of the world to do what ever they can to provide justice to an old man is who is facing may be the toughest time of his life.
Below is the message on Facebook by Nayyar's family:
Muhammad Tariq Khan sent a message to the members of Nayyar Zaidi is a Journalist Not A Criminal, Support Nayyar Zaidi.
Subject: The Family Request .. Please Take Action ..
Regarding Nayyar Zaidi Case in a recent email from Zaidi family the family expressed their sorrow over the sad death news of Mr. Muhammad Tariq Khan's brother in-law's, Zaidi family conveyed their condolences to Mr. Khan and his family and pray Allah for mercy and blessing on deceased soul.
Zaid family also expressed their gratitude for Mr. Khan and the whole group for their unconditional support to Mr. Zaidi and his family in this trying time, Mr. Zaidi is still suffering in jail for a crime he never committed. According to the update his pre-trial hearing is this Wednesday October 7, 2009, when the judge will determine whether there is sufficient evidence for against Mr. Zaidi to go to trial by jury, and then date can be set for further hearing, and if the judge decides there is not enough evidence, then the whole case will be dismissed and he will be set free.
Mr. Zaidi also authorized group to send the addresses of Attorney General Eric Holder, to the members, supporters, journalists and journalist organizations in order to raise awareness about his case.
The following is the address and email address of the US Attorney General
The Attorney General of the United States of America
Eric Holder
950 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20530
Email firstname.lastname@example.com
Attention: US Attorney General–
Attn; Eric Holder
Fax: +1 202-307-6777
The family recommended that everyone who sympathizes with Mr. Zaidi and is looking for the justice in his case should write to the US Attorney General on above address, email and fax request him to hold impartial and immediate investigation in this case.
Organizations such as PFUJ, Committee for Protection of Journalists, Local Press Clubs, National and International Journalist Organizations and individual journalist should write to him asking him to investigate this case, remember we are not demanding the release but impartial investigation into the circumstance that lead to Mr. Zaidi arrest and the way his case is being handled.
The family regretted the fact that President Zardari was recently in Washington and the Ambassador Haqqani was with him all along, who himself is a veteran journalist, but they never approached any of the family members and never raised Zaidi case on any level with US officials
The members, journalists and journalist organizations should also keep writing to Haqqani and Zardari to remind them of their obligations.
The Zaidi family, this trying time, is frustrated but their faith in Allah and religion keeps them going, they want to thank all members and are requesting everyone to please pray for October 7th outcome in favour of Mr. Zaidi.

MONTEREY PARK >> A Temple City man driving a Ferrari was killed and his passenger was critically injured early Saturday morning in a collision with a Hyundai sedan. The Hyundai driver, who also suffered major injuries, was suspected of being drunk before the crash at a major Monterey Park intersection, authorities said.
Fu Duan, 21, of Temple City, died in the collision, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Lt. Joe Bale said.
Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene of the crash, which occurred shortly after 2 a.m. at Garvey and New avenues.
A passenger in the mangled Ferrari 458 Italia was hospitalized in critical condition, Monterey Park police Sgt. Brent Archibald said. A description of the passenger was unavailable.
The driver of a Hyundai Accent that collided with the Ferrari was also hospitalized in critical condition, and suspected of drunken driving, authorities said.
"We do suspect that alcohol is involved," Archibald said.
The driver, 28-year-old Omar Placencia of Los Angeles, was expected to be booked on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter, Lt. Eric Kim said.
He was the only person inside the Hyundai.
The cars collided in the intersection as the Ferrari was southbound on New Avenue and the Hyundai was westbound on Garvey Avenue, "The (Hyundai) collided into the driver-side of the Ferrari, fatally injuring the driver," Archibald said.
Officers had not yet determined which vehicle had the green light, he said. The speed at which the cars were traveling when they crashed was also under investigation.
The Ferrari "appears to be new," Archibald said, adding that it was not yet fitted with permanent license plates.
The luxury sports car's starting price is around $230,000
The front end of the sports car was sheared of in the crash.
Coroner's officials planned to perform an autopsy on Duan and look into whether he had any substances in his system at the time of the crash.
Neighbors living near the crash scene said they'd seen the white Ferrari speeding around the area in recent days.
Erica Olson, 44, said she's seen the sports car driving at high speeds three times in the previous week.
"It's just been zooming around," she said. "It was doing 70 mph on New (Avenue). It was going so fast, I couldn't tell who was driving it."
"I pray for the victims," Olson added.
Neighbor Lee McClure said saw noticed the Ferrari for the first time Friday afternoon as it was speeding along Egley Avenue in front of Arlene Bitely Elementary School. "I haven't seen it before," he said.
The intersection remained shut through 2 p.m. as officials took measurements, collected evidence and examined the scene.

Boffins program peripheral visions for ultra TV immersion
Viewers 'feel' explosions
Scientists have improved the immersive experience of watching telly, with projectors which extend our views into peripheral vision territory.
Researchers at MIT's Media Lab have put together software which extends the image viewed on our tellies onto extra screens in a suitably blurry fashion to mimic what we see in our peripheral vision.
The system, called Infinity-By-Nine, is essentially Ambilight on steroids, with viewers perceiving the extra imagery as a natural extension of the primary content.
The team said tests revealed that viewers believed they were drawn further into the on-screen story, and that the system can be used to induce other sensations, such as the feeling of heat following an on-screen explosion.
As it can run on any consumer-ready hardware, with the right projector setup, any Joe Bloggs can make use of it. And TV content is merely the beginning.
Videogaming, UI design and other areas where a user's vision is concentrated on a central area, have been earmarked for peripheral enhancement too. ®
