Still don't believe in climate change? Then you're either deep in denial or delirious from the heat.
Still don't believe in climate change? Then you're either deep in denial or delirious from the heat.
As I write this, the nation's capital and its suburbs are in post-apocalypse mode. About one-fourth of all households have no electricity, the legacy of an unprecedented assault by violent thunderstorms Friday night.
Things are improving: At the height of the power outage, nearly half the region was dark.
The line of storms, which killed at least 17 people as it raced from the Midwest to the sea, culminated a punishing day when the official temperature in Washington reached 104 degrees, a record for June. Hurricane-force winds of up to 80 miles per hour wreaked havoc with the lush tree canopy that is perhaps Washington's most glorious amenity.
One of my neighbors was lucky when a huge branch, headed for his roof, got snagged by a power line. Another neighbor lost a tree that fell into another tree that smashed an adjacent house, demolishing the second floor.
Yes, it's always hot here in the summer - but not this hot. Yes, we always have thunderstorms - but never like these. The clich� is true: It did sound like a freight train.
According to scientists, climate change means not only that we will see higher temperatures but that there will be more extreme weather events like the one we just experienced. Welcome to the rest of our lives.
This is the point in the column where I'm obliged to insert the disclaimer that no one event - no heat wave, no hurricane, no outbreak of tornadoes or freakish storms - can be definitively blamed on climate change.
Any one data point can be an anomaly; any cluster of data points can be mere noise.
The problem for those who dismiss climate change as a figment of scientists' imagination, or even as a crypto-socialist one-worldish plot to take away our God-given SUVs, is that the data are beginning to add up.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the past winter was the fourth-warmest on record in the United States.
To top that, spring - which meteorologists define as the months of March, April and May - was the warmest since record-keeping began in 1895. If you don't believe me or the scientists, ask a farmer whose planting seasons have gone awry.
NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which monitors global surface temperatures, reports that nine of the warmest 10 years on record have occurred since 2000.
The warmest year of all was 2010; last year was only the ninth warmest, but global temperatures were still almost a full degree warmer than they were during the middle of the 20th century.
Why might this be happening?
Well, the level of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is more than 35 percent greater than in 1880, NASA scientists report, with most of the increase coming since 1960. And why might carbon dioxide levels be rising? Because since the Industrial Revolution, humankind has been burning fossil fuels - and spewing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - at what could turn out to be a catastrophic rate.
Scientists' predictions about how quickly temperatures would rise - and how rapidly assorted phenomena, such as melting polar ice and rising sea levels, would proceed - have turned out, thus far, to be conservative.
There comes a point where anomalies can start looking like a trend. What much of the country has seen the past few days is no ordinary heat wave. Temperatures reached 105 in Raleigh, 106 in Atlanta and 108 in Columbia, S.C., and Macon, Ga., 109 in Nashville - all-time highs.
Meanwhile, the most destructive wildfires in Colorado history were destroying hundreds of homes - a legacy of drought that left forests as dry as tinder. Changes in rainfall and snowfall patterns in the West cannot, of course, be blamed on climate change with any certainty. But they are consistent with scientists' predictions.
It becomes harder to ignore those predictions when a toppled tree is blocking your driveway and the power is out.
One other observation: As repair crews struggle to get the lights back on, it happens to be another sunny day.
Critics have blasted the Obama administration's unfruitful investment in solar energy.
But if government-funded research managed to lower the price of solar panels to the point where it became economical to install them on residential roofs, all you global warming skeptics would have air conditioning right now. I'm just sayin'.

As Communications Director for Great Wolf Resorts, I'm proud to serve as point of contact between our company and Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS). Since 2009, we have partnered with this national charity, coordinating events through our resorts to help BBBS in its mission to provide mentors for children in the community. My favorite part of working with BBBS is when I have the chance to actually take part in one of these events.
All month long, BBBS agencies across the country are holding the annual Bowl for Kids' sake national bowling fundraiser. And, nationwide, our resort teams are taking part. On May 2, the Corporate Team and the Customer Contact Center Team from Great Wolf Resorts all joined together for a howlingly good time!
With a super hero theme this year, our offices got creative with everything from their team name, to the friendly (yet competitive) weekly fundraisers around the office to the costumes worn at the event. (Yes! Costumes!) We spent the month of April getting ready for the Bowl for Kids' Sake evening. Bake sales, an in-office pancake breakfast and a weekly ice cream social helped everyone get in the spirit to raise money. (Too bad we also didn't think to practice a few frames.)
Once again, we had a great time! Combined our twelve teams raised $8,782 for BBBS; a new fundraising record!
The event in Madison is just the beginning. The Great Wolf Lodge Wisconsin Dells will be taking part in their local Bowl For Kids' Sake event later this month. The Great Wolf Lodge Mason had a great time and earned more for their local BBBS agency than last year. Throughout the country, our resorts are bowling alongside local businesses in a united goal to help Big Brothers Big Sisters.
While Bowl for Kids' Sake is the signature event for our pack members, there are many ways our guests help, too. The Big Splash is the annual program each resort hosts, selling a limited number of waterpark passes to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters. Our waterparks are exclusive to resort guests, but on select days each year, the public can enjoy the water thrills by purchasing a Big Splash pass. If you live near the Great Wolf Lodge Kansas City, Big Splash passes are on sale through May 23, and tickets are still available. The Great Wolf Lodge Concord is on its way to another successful year; its Big Splash tickets have already sold you!
Looking ahead, we have a new event that will take place at all of our lodges during Howl-O-Ween and once again, families will have the opportunity to dine in our life size gingerbread houses during the month of December as part of our Snowland festivities. Both activities will benefit BBBS.
In 2012, we raised over $275,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Only from the generous gifts of time, talent and resources from our pack members and guests were we able to reach this amazing total. We look forward to reaching a new goal in 2013. And I'm looking forward to bowling again next spring.

FREMONT — Residents at a Fremont apartment complex were briefly evacuated Tuesday morning after a suspected arson fire broke out in a laundry room.
No injuries were reported in the one-alarm fire at Century Village Apartments, located at 41299 Paseo Padre Parkway, shortly after midnight.
An investigation revealed the fire started in a washing machine and determined to have been started by an arsonist. The Fremont Police Department was called in to take over the case.
The apartment complex had recently installed sprinklers, which fire responders credited with keeping the fire confined to the laundry room.

well, hello thereTuesday, April 10, 2012
Hello, you.
Hello, April.
Hello, goodbye spring break. THAT was fast.
We spent it at home this year and I must admit, I liked it. It was a taste of what summer is... in our home. We checked some things off our list. The adventures weren't as often as I would have liked, but that's okay.
Those mitts can really be knit in a few days.
And I think that makes the perfect little gift for a very sweet friend.

The Arctic is currently changing in ways we are still trying to grasp, but it is already dramatically, undeniably different than it was just 30 years ago. The white cover of sea ice that blankets the Arctic is receding dramatically in the summer months. Satellite data show the September minimum has shrunk by more than 11 percent per decade since 1979, researchers say.
As the volume and frequency of open water in the Arctic grows, so too does activity by oil and gas, shipping, mining, and other industries. Ship transit through the Bering Strait, the gateway from the North Pacific Ocean to the Arctic, more than doubled between 2008 and 2012, and sea traffic throughout the region continues to grow exponentially as it provides a shorter cargo route between Asia and Europe. At the same time, several companies seek to mine reserves that could contain as much as 22 percent of the world's undiscovered conventional oil and gas. (See related video: Experts use three words to describe the Arctic at The Arctic: The Science of Change live event.)
Questions, too, are mounting along with the activity. The Arctic nations—the United States, Canada, Russia, Denmark (including Greenland), Norway, Iceland, Finland, and Sweden—now face unprecedented dilemmas over resource development, ecosystems protection, emergency response infrastructure, geopolitical boundaries, and many other effects of a changing northern climate.
Amid all these facets of the transforming Arctic, which of these areas do you think needs the most attention? What should we all be focusing on? Rate the options below and share your thoughts in the comments.

We all have one. And if you're one of the few, or as it seems these many years now, one of the many, who gets that story published, congratulations, you've joined a group that ranges all over the literary map.
The esteemed writer Joan Didion, who changed the face of widow's weeds, in Blue Nights confronts aging and the past with remembrances of her only child, daughter Quintana Roo (who died not long after her husband).
The stars of stage and screen are always ready to reveal the backstage scoop. Carrie Fisher keeps us laughing (and crying) in her sixth book, Shockaholic, promising to go right to the heart of her life, the Princess Leia/Star Wars years, about which she says, "It wasn't all sweetness and sabers." Actress Diane Keaton, a celebrity darling for four decades who managed to maintain long relationships and ongoing friendships with some of her generation's most desirable men, says her mother's death was her reason for reflecting. She's not dishing the dirt, but we can expect to hear about those men in Then Again.
Another famous and familiar name, film critic Roger Ebert, has written his story, Life Itself, documenting his incredible and ongoing career despite the thyroid cancer that has taken away his ability to speak.
And there's the ordinary Joe who's either had an exceptional life or has the gift of making an ordinary life extraordinary. Lindsay Harrison was a 20-year-old sophomore, estranged from her mother for two months, when she got the terrible news that her mother was missing. Harrison's account, Missing, covers the frantic 40 days of searching until her mother's body was found and the emotional searching that followed.
The Arrogant Years: One Girl's Search for Her Lost Youth, from Cairo to Brooklyn continues Lucette Lagnado's story of her family's exile from Egypt, focusing on her mother and moving through her early years in America, in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, far from her privileged childhood in Cairo's Jewish community. Donna M. Johnson saw the back roads of America on the revival tent trail with the evangelical preacher, David Terrell, when her mother became the group's organist. Terrell's rise and fall and Johnson's place in his inner circle comes to life with humor and pathos in Holy Ghost Girl.
In The Voyage of the Rose City, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan's son, John, found adventure at sea when he signed up for a stint as a Merchant Marine one college summer, a trip that morphed from 45 days to four months, and resulted in a coming-of-age memoir that the young man, who sadly died in his 40s, recorded in an illustrated journal; nature-loving Lou Ureneck found his adventure closer to home. To handle his mounting midlife crises—divorce, job loss, his mother's death—he called his brother with an invitation to join him in building a house, the day-by-day story he tells in Cabin: Two Brothers, a Dream, and Five Acres in Maine.
But as ubiquitous as the celebrity tell-all, stories of family, loss, recovery and redemption are, it's the animal story that gets us every time. And while there's "Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh, my!" those all-time favorites, dogs, get their due in Love at First Bark: How Saving a Dog Can Sometimes Help You Save Yourself, in which Julie Klam's Boston terriers make room for some rescue pooches.

An exhilarating visual experience and proves for the third time he's (Zemeck) is one of the few directors who knows what he's doing with 3-D.
This sad excuse for family entertainment tries to enshrine a classic while defacing it.
This Christmas Carol seems like a pale ghost of Dickens' magical Christmas classic.
Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol is, in its essence, a product reel, a showy, exuberant demonstration of the glories of motion capture, computer animation and 3D technology. On that level, it's a wow. On any emotional level, it's as cold as Marley's Ghost.

OK for kids 9+
3-D adaptation of classic holiday tale may scare young kids.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that, unlike The Polar Express, this Robert Zemeckis adaptation of a classic holiday tale is too intense both visually and in content for families with very young children. At its heart, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is a ghost story, and not only are the many spirits very creepy at times, but the 3-D technology makes certain scenes -- as when the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come's red-eyed black stallions jump out at the audience -- all the scarier. And the realistic nature of the motion capture technology often makes the movie seem more like live action (and thus more intense) than animation. But on the other hand, the language is mild (British slang like "bugger" and "blast") and the drinking limited to Christmas toasts. And the messages are all quite positive, as Ebenezer Scrooge's (Jim Carrey) transformation is one of literature's ultimate stories of redemption and hope, even in the bleakest of times.
Educational value: The movie educates younger viewers (in a "scared straight" kind of way) on the importance of being kind and selfless, rather than greedy and selfish like Scrooge.
Messages: Dickens' classic tale is full of important, relevant messages: Even in economically difficult times, there is hope and happiness; money isn't the most necessary ingredient to live a happy, successful life; those lucky enough to have money should be generous toward those who are less fortunate; everyone should be kind and charitable, no matter how rich they are; and family and friendship are far more fulfilling than work.
Role models: Although Ebenezer Scrooge is clearly a negative role model at first, he redeems himself and becomes a positive one. By abandoning his greedy ways, he realizes the importance of generosity, selflessness, altruism, family, and the spirit of Christmas. Secondary characters like Scrooge's nephew Fred, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim are all admirable for their exemplary loyalty, faith, and sincerity.
Violence: Several frightening images of skeletons, corpses, and ghosts, from the very first scene of a dead Jacob Marley lying in a coffin to an open grave in scenes from Christmas future. The ghost of Marley -- along with the three spirits of Christmas, especially the Grim Reaper-esque Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (and his stampeding, red-eyed horses) -- can be disturbing, as can the hissing, threatening figures of Ignorance and Want. Some of the 3-D scenes are also intense and startling, and there are several sad scenes, particularly one in which a family mourns a young child.
Sex: A young Ebenezer dances and exchanges longing looks with a woman, and it's later clear that they were engaged.
Language: Some British slang like "bugger" and "blast." The words "hell" and "ass" are used, too, but not as curses. One character says "oh my God."
Consumerism: Not applicable
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Adults make Christmas toasts with what is presumably wine.

Tiny House in a Landscape
This week's Tiny House in a Landscape is a studio loft over a garage. It was built by Pickell Architecture in Flemington, New Jersey.
I like the unique design and how it blends in with the trees in the background. A great way to utilize space and make a single garage into a tiny home.

BEREA, Ohio -- Despite organizational consensus that Colt McCoy is the Browns' quarterback of the future, team president Mike Holmgren said Monday that the club hasn't ruled out a quarterback with the sixth pick in next month's NFL draft.
In fact, he admitted he's "looking hard" at Auburn quarterback Cam Newton and will study other top quarterbacks in the draft.
"It's kind of interesting isn't it?" said Holmgren during his lockout press conference. "We'll see. I would say, don't discount anything. I've been honest with you about my feelings on Colt, but I'm not coaching the team. Pat Shurmur is the coach.
"We will have conversations of course, but I'll leave that up to the coach, just like I left it up with things last year. I've told you my feelings about him, but I think in this year's draft there are a number of really fine quarterbacks."
The Browns are one of eight teams that have already set up a private workout with Newton, and will also most likely conduct a private session with Missouri's Blaine Gabbert, the other top-rated quarterback in the draft. The two could go in the top 10, although NFL Network Mike Mayock doesn't even have Newton in his top 20.
Still, the Browns will be ready in case one or both are available at No. 6 -- even if just for trade possibilities.
"I think with our due diligence as an organization and a personnel department, it's our obligation to evaluate the best players coming out of college football," Holmgren said. "Cam Newton is one of those and so, yes, we are looking hard. It's fun for me anyway; I've told you this before.
"Even though I don't have anything to do around here, it's fun for me to grade the quarterbacks and watch the quarterbacks and try to get an idea of how they play."
Holmgren wouldn't confirm if the Browns have set up a 1-on-1 with Gabbert, but said the team will bring in the maximum of 30 players for pre-draft visits.
McCoy's passing camp? Holmgren indicated that McCoy, who was given a playbook by the team, will assemble some of his teammates during the lockout to work on the new West Coast scheme.
"Colt has shown great leadership; he did last year. Without too much prompting by anybody, I knew that he would do this. He would get guys together; he would do what he had to do to try and make the team better. That's who he is," said Holmgren. "He was the only one that I even talked to prior, and this was three or four weeks ago. I fully expect him to talk to his teammates."
Hardesty and Co.: Holmgren said running back Montario Hardesty and other players recovering from injuries can talk to the team surgeons, but must rehabilitate outside the facility.
"It has to be off campus and the treatment has to be conducted by a third party, but that third party can be in communication with us," said Holmgren. "All our injured players are being taken care of and we will know their progress."
He said he's excited about Hardesty and Peyton Hillis on the field together.
"That's a good combination for this reason, I think they both have excellent ball skills, catching the ball and running skills," said Holmgren. "So you don't have to have one guy as the runner, one guy as the catcher, one guy as the blocker. They both have to be willing to do all those things for each other.
"If those are the two in the game at the same time, they have to block for each other and they have to do everything. I think they are capable of doing that. I hope I get a chance to see that."
Vickers not tendered? Holmgren declined to say whether or not fullback Lawrence Vickers and others eligible for restricted free agency, such as safety Abe Elam, were tendered. Only two players were known to be extended the second-round tender, cornerback Eric Wright and tight end Evan Moore.
Extra points: Holmgren said he doesn't know when free agency will begin and that he doesn't think the Browns will be as active this year. ... He said he "wouldn't say no" to the possibility of having Jake Delhomme back in addition to Seneca Wallace, who was recently re-signed. ... Holmgren said the club doesn't know how Phil Dawson feels about being franchised but "we want him here. He is a fine football player. I trust that all works out the way I want it to."

text: You've gotten great advice here! Definitely rent the hospital-grade pump! Anytime a woman is pumping INSTEAD of nursing, let along pumping for two babies, she needs the very best pump you can find. With twins you're facing a couple obstacles - not only does your wife need to make a lot of milk, but twins tend to be premature and a bit delayed, so they are harder to breastfeed at first. However, many women have done it, and many have even breastfeed their babies exclusively! Set your sights at a reasonable level - get through today, keep up the pumping, and keep trying to latch the babies - but just know that it is possible.

- Mercedes
No mentality change for Mercedes - Rosberg
Nico Rosberg says he and Mercedes will not adopt a more conservative approach to the race in Austria despite engine and brake problems costing the team victory in Canada.
Rosberg had been leading in Montreal before he and Lewis Hamilton suffered a problem with the MGU-K, which limited braking capacity, though he still managed to bring the car home in second after his team-mate was forced to retire. Austria promises to be a tough race on the power unit but he insists Mercedes will not change the approach to race weekends which has been so successful this season.
"I don't think we need to go extra conservative or anything," Rosberg said. "It is something we can sort out without going conservative. It's a work in progress. Yes, they understand it and yes they are working on resolving the problem, we are confident it won't happen again here. In terms of brakes that was a special case in Canada; it was on the limit and it was always going to be on the limit so that won't be an issue here.
Despite his confidence the issue has been fixed, Rosberg thinks the challenge he had in adapting to the car in Canada would set him in good stead if he suffered a repeat this weekend.
"When you lose the energy recovery system it makes it extremely difficult with rear brakes, and considering Canada is critical for rear brakes anyway, then to lose the recovery system on top meant it was on a knife's edge. It would still be difficult yes, not as difficult as Canada, but it will always be a challenge if it does happen again.
"Certainly after the race I was pleased with second, considering everything. But then in hindsight our ambition is to really have a perfect weekend and win the race, not winning the race is not ideal but taking everything into consideration I was very pleased. It was definitely damage limitation because at one stage the best the team expected to get was eighth."

Stroboframe has recently released the U-Pro rotating flash bracket. The key feature of the of the new U-Pro is the ability to rotate the camera itself while maintaining the position of the flash well above the lens. For a great example and testimonial of the effectiveness of this kind of rotating bracket, see Rich Legg's recent post regarding his use of a similar bracket with a monopod. While Rich focuses on his new resolution to use a monopod more often, his rotating bracket is an integral part of his shooting.

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) — A party led by a political newcomer better known as the son of Slovenia's famous Olympic medalist won the most votes Sunday in the second early election in three years, according to preliminary returns. The outcome meant potentially more uncertainty for a small eurozone nation struggling to pull out of an economic downturn.
Miro Cerar Party — named after its leader — won 34.7 percent of the ballot, while the opposition conservatives of former prime minister Janez Jansa were trailing with 20.6 percent, election authorities said after counting some 95 percent of the ballots.
If confirmed, the result means Cerar will likely be the next prime minister, but will have to form a coalition government with smaller parties. The 50-year-old law expert, son of Slovenia's double Olympic medalist gymnast Miroslav Cerar, founded his party in June but it swiftly gained popularity because of his untainted public record.
Cerar said victory entailed "great responsibility."
"The result is good," he said. "It shows that people have chosen commitment to a different political culture that will not be divisive."
The poll showed the Pensioners Party with 10 percent, followed by the Social Democrats with 6 percent. A new leftist group, United Left, made it into Parliament with 6 percent. The party of outgoing Prime Minister Alenka Bratusek won 4.4 percent.
Sunday's balloting was forced when Bratusek resigned in May after losing a power struggle within her own political party.
Cerar has ruled out the possibility of a coalition with the second-placed Slovene Democratic Party, whose leader Jansa was jailed last month for two years in a bribery case involving an arms deal.
Jansa has sought to portray himself as the victim of left-leaning political opponents; he said on his Twitter account that he was not granted a brief prison leave to vote.
His party questioned the legitimacy of Sunday's vote.
"The elections were not fair because the leader of our party, Janez Jansa, did not participate during pre-election campaign due to imprisonment," said party official Zvonko Cernar.
Cerar has opposed the privatization of some of Slovenia's state-run companies, which is part of an EU-backed anti-crisis package. The outgoing government froze the process of selling Slovenia's main airport and Telekom Slovenia until a new Cabinet is formed.
Slovenia plunged into financial turmoil during the eurozone debt crisis. Once the most prosperous of the eastern European countries, the Alpine nation has narrowly avoided international bailout.
During just over a year in office, Bratusek's center-left government stabilized Slovenia's ailing banks at the center of the crisis.

LONDON (AP) Russian tennis player Andrey Kumantsov has been banned from the sport for life for breaking rules on betting and match-fixing.
The Tennis Integrity Unit says on Tuesday that the 27-year-old Kumantsov was found guilty of 12 charges under the sport's anti-corruption program after committing a series of offenses from 2010-13.
The ban applies with immediate effect.
Kumantsov, whose career-high ranking was No. 261 in 2010, has not played a match this year. He has career earnings of $103,856.
The integrity unit was formed by the ATP and WTA tours, the International Tennis Federation and the Grand Slam Committee.
Details of how Kumantsov broke the rules were not given.

2010 · [Salt Lake City, UT]
by Call, Trent & Ken Sanders
[Salt Lake City, UT]: Uconoclasts Suite I: Literary Utah, 2010. Print. This print (16" by 12") is signed by the artist. Utah's literary iconoclastic past as depicted by visual portraits of twelve Utah mavericks who all, in one way or another, have gone against the grain. Uconoclasts Suite I: Literary Utah includes some of Utah's most famous and beloved and controversial literary figures (Edward Abbey, Bernard Devoto, Wallace Stegner and Wallace Thurman, for example) and even includes the beat generation icon Neal Cassady (who was born in Utah). Whether native sons and daughters or not, all Uconoclasts also share some sort of Utah connection. If they weren't born in the state, like Cassady, then the state and its geography: its people and its places, had a profound effect on them, as in the case of Abbey and Stegner. All twelve of these initial Uconoclasts have all been chosen because of their creative genius and their dedication to their dreams and pursuits, sometimes against all odds and at great personal cost. These Uconoclasts have pursued their dreams and visions, sometimes down dark and uncomfortable corridors than transcend traditional boundaries. There was no box for them to think outside of. Mavericks in some manner or another…all. Being a Uconoclast isn't about fame per se so much as accomplishment in the face of all odds. The Utah connection is paramount, albeit in Neal Cassady's case tenuous. But he was born here. And in some important if not always apparent way, their accomplishments in their respective fields must include a maverick-ness of some kind, a going against the grain, an iconoclastic nature - uconoclasm.

Fired Market Basket workers plan to sue companyBy Barbara Taormina
Union Leader Correspondent
August 01. 2014 6:30PM
Market Basket's battle with its workers may now head to court.
On Friday, eight senior managers who were fired for their roles in organizing employee protests and promoting customer boycotts announced plans to sue the supermarket chain for wrongful termination and unpaid wages.
Meanwhile, Market Basket has sent letters to other supervisors and buyers telling them not to expect their August paychecks, but added that salaries will resume if employees show up for work on Monday.
News of the lawsuit and plans to withhold pay came a day after the attorneys general of New Hampshire and Massachusetts sent a letter to Market Basket's board of directors and co-CEOs Felicia Thorton and James Gooch, reminding them of their legal obligations to workers.
According to New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph Foster, labor laws require employers to pay workers who are fired any wages due, including bonuses, sick time and earned vacation pay, within 72 hours of their last day on the job. Any violations of those laws can trigger civil and criminal penalties and pave the way for lawsuits from the workers.
Senior managers Steve Paulenka, Joe Garon, Dean Joyce, Tom Trainor, Joe Schmidt, James Lacourse, Tom Gordon and Michael Kettenbach received termination notices by courier a day after the July 18 rally at the company's headquarters in Tewksbury, Mass., where store protests and boycotts were launched.
Workers have been rallying and picketing stores for the past two weeks demanding the reinstatement of former CEO Arthur T. Demoulas, who was fired after decades of bitter infighting among members of the family-owned business.
Paulenka, who has been with Market Basket for 40 years, and Trainor, who has 41 years with the company, have since joked publicly that they were "fired by courier." Trainor has also knocked the two co-CEOs for not having the "guts" to fire him and the others in person.
Although Arthur T. Demoulas has remained silent about worker protests and his offer to buy out rival family members who own shares of Market Basket, he did release a public statement early last week urging the company to reinstate the eight managers for the good of the company.
Instead, Thorton and Gooch sent letters this week to buyers and district supervisors informing them not to expect their August paychecks because of their "ongoing failure to report to work and their unwillingness to perform any services for the company."
While store managers have been showing up for work every day, warehouse workers have said they have been locked out or turned away by security guards. Part-time workers have had their hours cut and are now using their days to picket the stores and company warehouse.
Market Basket plans to hold a three-day job fair starting Monday for current employees interested in moving up to management, and for new workers to replace no-show employees and those who have vowed to quit if Arthur T. Demoulas is not reinstated.
More rallies
Workers plan to rally at the Market Basket store at Stadium Plaza in Tewksbury, Mass., on Monday, Aug. 4, at 11 a.m.
Plans are also being made to demonstrate later in the day in Andover, Mass., where the company will hold its job fair.

The ARC-170 is possibly my favorite ship to come out of the Clone Wars. Even though it didn't get a lot of screen time in Revenge of the Sith it left enough of a good impression to warrant a redesign this year (OK, maybe the CW cartoon helped a bit).
First let me say that I never picked up the first version of the ARC-170, despite the fact that I like the ship. They just didn't get it right in my eye. This starfighter's appeal, to me, is how it pulls off the retro Rebel fighter look while being a clean modern design. It's a sleek beast of a fighter and the older set didn't really convey that well. Thankfully, this one did.
See what I mean? Nice sleek look, just as it ought to have. The bracketed stripe along the fuselage looks great and the SNOTed slopes round off the nose cleanly, unlike the older model that used sideways plates and failed miserably. The body panels around the cockpits are integrated well and the stickers look good (but they're still stickers). The main canopy has some noticeable gaps, key of which being directly behind it. The one right above it needs that room to avoid trapping the pilot if his backseat driver hops out first so it can't be helped.
The wings are impressively wide, and thanks to new parts since the old model they're appropriately radiused. The under-slung guns look good & foreboding though not as accurate as I'd like. I can deal with it since the look is hard to nail at System scale (on that note, I would love to see a UCS ARC-170... You listening LEGO?). The rear gunner station could use some work, but again, it's improved over the old set. The over/under connection is a fun feature but it can sort of get in the way... I'll get back to that in a minute.
Overall the construction is pretty straight forward, no real surprises or weird landing gear like the V-19 had. That being said, it doesn't actually have landing gear. That's not a complaint. Just a point of interest. The underside and nose are in line and the blasters hold the wings level so there's really no need. Just don't try to park it with the S-Foils open (but we all knew that right? Only rookies attempt landing in attack configuration).
Speaking of the S-Foils, they work pretty much like the X-Wing sets: turn a Technic gear on the back to engage the hidden worm gear inside the ship and T-bars spread the little wings thanks to a slot in the main wing. It's slow, but it works. The wings themselves suffer from the same droop issues as almost every other plate-wing starfigter, but considering the huge cannons on the tips and the big hole near the middle I expected much worse. Also, that gear is set up to slide back and forth, because hiding on the underside is everyone's favorite play feature: flick fire missiles. The idea is you push the gear rod forward to launch them... but I think the feature planning only got to that stage, because they are literally right behind the nose. Either that or the set designer knew that those completely suck and being aimed directly at a fixed portion of the ship is an irrelevant detail but was required by contract to include them.
OK, so about the rear gun getting in the way: you know that little gear for the S-Foils and missiles? Yeah, guess where it is.
So that's inconvenient. Also, when I grab this thing and swoosh it around (because we all know that's the real reason to buy starfighters) they flop around wildly since the pivot is fairly loose. Given this, I think the set would be better off without the lower gun.
Now, who do we have to fly this sweet ship?
Who else than Captain Jag. I had no idea who that was to be honest, but with a name like Captain Jag I think it's safe to assume he has the situation under control. Manning the rear gun is another generic Clone Pilot who clearly isn't cool enough to be named, unlike Captain Jag. Up in the droid socket is R4-P44, a typical looking astromech with a dark green dome and highlights. Please, do not get me started on the inappropriateness of giving a domed astromech an R4 designation, I didn't name the thing. Lastly, Kit Fisto is tagging along, I can only assume this because he's green too and Jedi like to color coordinate with droids. I'm not complaining though, I've liked that tentacle headed alien since his crazy toothy grin in Attack of the Clones. So together I'd say that's a pretty nice set of minifigures and those new helmets are slick. My only gripe is the lack of guns for the pilots. Captain Jag must just bee too cool to use a blaster and insists the same for his crew.
Retail price is $59.99 and for that you only get 396 parts. That's pretty steep at 15.15 cents per brick. I know that sets across the board have gone up but I still judge sets against the golder rule (10 cents per brick) so despite the cool figures and cool ship I'm simply not satisfied with the price point. Maybe if the canopies were printed I wouldn't complain so much (honestly, stickers on transparent elements and stickers on round elements are both terrible ideas - but at the same time? Really?). Oh, and just for reference, the old ARC-170 model from 2005 with the same piece count was $39.99. So there's that. All things considered, this is a great set. There's always room to improve on official designs and I'm sure I will always complain about the price of sets.

Manchester woman faces identity fraud charges
October 29. 2013 10:55PM
MANCHESTER — A city woman, accused of buying almost $6,400 in merchandise from Macy's, Victoria's Secret and JCPenney at the Mall of New Hampshire with a stolen credit card last December, was arraigned Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on felony charges of identity fraud and credit card fraud.
Maria Rodriguez, 29, of 146 Massabesic St., pleaded innocent to a misdemeanor charge of receiving stolen property, that alleges she had in her possession a stolen American Express card.
Because no plea can be entered to a felony in Circuit Court, a probable cause hearing was set for Nov. 20, when there will be a status hearing on the misdemeanor. Bail was continued at $5,000 personal recognizance, with conditions barring Rodriguez from the mall and from contact with the card owner.
Bail revocation motion
Jamie Maset, 51, pleaded innocent Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to two stalking charges that allege she violated bail conditions set Oct. 25 on assault, criminal mischief and drug possession charges, that barred her from returning to 679 Pine St., where she had been living with her sister. The bail conditions also barred contact with her sister.
One stalking charge alleges she went to the Pine Street address and was banging on the door and the second alleges she was inside the apartment with her sister Monday.
Because she was out on bail when she allegedly committed new crimes, police prosecutors filed a motion to revoke Maset's bail and a hearing on the motion was set to determine whether she should be held until her trial Nov. 21 on the assault and mischief charges. A probable cause hearing on the felony drug charge is set for Nov. 5.
Maset was also arraigned Tuesday on a theft charge that alleges she took a woman's handbag from the back of a chair at Margarita's Oct. 22 and walked out of the restaurant with it. Trial on the new charges was also set for Nov. 21.
Says nobody told him
Trial for David Paul Curtis on a criminal trespass charge was set for Dec. 2 in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division. Curtis, 62, who lists the homeless shelter as his address, was arraigned Tuesday on the charge for which he had failed to appear for arraignment Oct. 3.
Curtis is accused of entering Mobil on the Run, 1050 South Willow St., Sept. 15 after being removed from the store by a police officer Sept. 9 for trespassing.
Curtis protested the charge, telling Judge William Lyons that he had been in the store two days before his arrest and nobody told him he wasn't welcome. He said he was greeted with: "Hello, Dave."
Bail is the $500 cash/surety set on the electronic bench warrant that was issued after Curtis failed to appear Oct. 3. Conditions include not going to Mobil on the Run on South Willow Street.
Facing multiple charges
Jessica Harris, 27, who had failed to appear for arraignment Oct. 2 on assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest charges, was arraigned Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division.
Harris, who formerly lived at 282 Massabesic St., but now lives in Raymond at 13 B Clover Court, pleaded innocent to two charges of simple assault that allege she punched her boyfriend and two that allege she spit on one police officer and pushed another. The disorderly conduct charge alleges she was standing on the street screaming obscenities and refused to stop. The resisting arrest charge alleges she struggled with officers trying to handcuff her.
Bail was continued at $1,000 personal recognizance and trial was set for Jan. 8, 2014.
Suspected drug activity
Members of the Manchester Police Department Street Crime Unit spotted what appeared to be drug activity in a vehicle in the area of Bridge and Walnut streets at about 5:30 p.m. Monday.
They followed the vehicle as it left the area. Observing a defective brake light on the vehicle, with the assistance of a marked patrol unit, the officers stopped the vehicle on Mammoth Road.
Based on further investigation, police said a male passenger, David Glaude, 37, of 17 Conifer Place, Derry, was found in possession of .2 grams of suspected heroin. Glaude was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled drug.

- 1 Protocols
- 1.1 Cell Count v Optical Density Curve Calibration
- 1.3 Preparation of XL1-Blue Electrocompetent cells
- 1.4 Biomaterial Secretion Testing by gel
- 1.5 Protocol X
Here will be placed any finished or currently worked on protocols until they are deemed of a high enough standard to be put on the Imperial iGEM 08 wetware wiki.
Cell Count v Optical Density Curve Calibration
To produce a calibration curve to aid in the normalising of fluorescence values to allow proper characterisation of Promoters and RBSs for B.subitlis. This protocol must give results that are as accurate as possible over a considerable range of Optical Densities.
P20, P200 and P1000 Gilsons
50mL flask (an additional one for each repeat)
LB Medium
Lots of LB Agar plates
Be VERY careful to avoid contamination at all stages
- Grow up a culture of B.subtilis overnight
- Prepare a 50mL flask of LB medium, adding the required antibiotics (if any) and take 1mL to use as a blank
- Pipette 500μL into the 50mL of LB medium and mix thoroughly
- Immediately take 1mL of the new culture and measure the OD against the blank
- Dilute 100μL of culture in 900μL of LB and mix well
- Plate 100μL of this diluted solution
- Repeat the dilution and plating 8 times to obtain plates for colony counting
- Be sure to mark the OD, time and dilution for each plate!
- At 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes, 150 minutes and 180 minutes take further 1 mL samples, measure OD, dilute and plate
- The Following day, check all plates to determine which plate at each time point is the most crowded plate on which all teh colonies can still be counted individually.
- The cells on these plates should be counted, and the number of colonies mutiplied by the dilution factor to calculate the number of cells in 1mL
- Plot a calibration curve of OD against cells per mL
This protocol is desgined for use with the stratagene PfuUltra II Fusion DNA polymerase and is based in part on the PfuUltra II Fusion DNA polymerase usage manual. PfuUltra II Fusion Manual
To produce clones of two genes from B.subtilis that are too big to have synthesised by GeneArt; for use as an integration site and gene knockout (EpsE) or for their original purpose as a transcriptional regulator (XylR). Also to produce clones of sequences from vectors; for use as integration sites (AmyE), antibiotic resistance (Spectinomycin) and as a transcriptional repressor (LacI).
Heated lid PCR machine
Thin walled PCR tube
|Distilled H2O
|10Χ PfuUltra™II reaction buffer
|dNTP mix (2.5mM each dNTP)
|B.subtilis genomic DNA (100ng/μL)
|Forward Primer (1μM)
|Reverse Primer (1μM)
|PfuUltra® II fusion HS DNA polymerase
|Total Reaction Volume
Note. Template DNA should be diluted to 100ng/μL. If template DNA concentration is below 100ng/μL, 100ng of DNA should be added and the volume of H2O to be added should adjusted to maintain a reaction volume of 25μL
If a vector is used as the template 5ng of plasmid DNA should be used instead and the volume of H2Owater to be added adjusted
The forward and reverse primers should contain the Biobrick prefix (forward primer) and the complementary sequence to the Biobrick suffix (reverse primer) 5' of the beginning of the annealing sequence
Add all the reagents in order (down the list) sequentially to the PCR tube mxing after each addition. Place PCR tubes into th ePCR machine and set the programme to the following set-up:
|Initial Denaturation:
|1 minutes at 95°C (longer for genomic DNA)
|10 Cycles of:
|20 second denaturation at 95°C
|20 second annealing time at Primer Tm - 10°C
|15 second extending time at 72°C (30 seconds for genomic templates)
|20 - 30 Cycles of:
|20 second denaturation at 95°C
|20 second annealing time at Primer Tm - 5°C
|15 second extending time at 72°C (30 seconds for genomic templates)
|Final Extension:
|5 minutes at 72°C
The resulting solution can then be purified using a PCR purification column or by gel electrophoresis followed by spin purification.
Preparation of XL1-Blue Electrocompetent cells
Prepaeration of E.coli cells for cloning of Biobricks and construct construction
Sterile Centrifugation bottles
50mL Tubes
Large Flasks
Eppendorf Tubes
P200 Pipette
1 Litre of LB medium (and appropriate antibiotics)
1-2 Litres of autoclaved and chilled ddH2O
10% glycerol in ddH2O, autoclaved and chilled
Dry ice bath
Keep Everything Cold where possible
Set aside an afternoon for this, starting the culture in the morning
Check the culture while growing frequently
- Grow up a culture of E.coli XL1-blue cells overnight
- Add 20mL of overnight culture to 1 Litre of LB medium (containing appropriate antibiotic)
- Grow cells while mixing at at least 225rpm until the culture reaches an OD600nm of 0.5-0.6 (1.6-1.9×108cells/mL)
- Test OD immediately after innoculating the Litre flask.
- First doubling may take 1 hour but doublings after that should be very 20-30 mins, so check often!
- When OD is 0.5-0.6, transfer the culture to 2 sterile 500mL centrifugation bottles and cool on ice for a few minutes
- Pellet cells in a centrifuge at 4000×g for 15 mins
- Quickly but carefully pour off the supernatant then carefully resuspend the cells in 10mL of ice cold ddH2O
- Fill both tubes to about 350mL with ice cold ddH2O
- Make sure the pellet is fully resuspended!
- Repellet the cells (as before) and again discard the supernatant
- Resuspend cells again in 10mL of ddH2O, then fill both tubes up to about 150mL with ice cold ddH2O
- Repellet the cells (as before)
- While repelleting, fill the dry ice bath and set up eppendorf tubes (approximately 50) in a rack in the dry ice bath
- Pour off the supernatant and resuspend the cells in 20mL of 10% glycerol (resuspend one pellet then transfer the solution to the other bottle and resuspend the second pellet)
- Transfer the cells and glycerol solution to a sterile 50mL centrifuge tube and pellet for 15 mins at 4000×g
- Pour off supernatant and resuspend pellet in 2mL of 10% glycerol
- Pipette 50μL aliquots into the eppendorfs in the dry ice bath
- Feeze on dry ice
- Depending on pipetting accuracy, between 50 and 60 aliquots should be made
- using a repeating pipetter makes this proces much faster and reduces risk of contamination
- Store at -70°C
Biomaterial Secretion Testing by gel
To test for expression of biomaterials in B.subtilis and to determine if the biomaterials when expressed are being secreted or are remaining within the cell. This can also be extended to find optimal conditions for production and secretion.

LB medium (and antibiotics)
Laemmli buffer
Lysis buffer
Preparing a polyacrylamide gel
Production of Samples
- A 1mL sample of B.subtilis lacking the construct should be prepared by the following method and aliquots stored in PAGE buffer
- Grow a culture of B.subtilis in 5mL of LB medium with antibiotics overnight
- Take 50μL of overnight culture and inoculate 5mL of LB medium (with antibiotics) and grow until OD600 reaches 0.4-0.6
- When OD reaches 0.4-0.6, take a 1mL sample then induce expression using a set concentration of inducer
- Inducer is probably IPTG, xylose or light and each should have a specific concentration for use (determined previously)
- Grow at 37°C for a pre-set amount of time (probably 1 hour or 4 hours but may be more)
- When the culture has been allowed to grow for the set amount of time (or has reached a time point if using time points), harvest 1 mL of the culture and pipette into an eppendorf.
Preparation of Samples
- Centrifuge the sample for 5 minutes at 13000rpm
- Being careful not to disturb the pellet, pipette off the supernatant into a separate eppendorf
- Resuspend the pellet in μL of Lysis Buffer
- Pipette μL of the cell lysate and the supernatant into separate tubes.
- Mix each sample with μL of PAGE buffer ready for loading
Loading and running the Gel
- Boil all samples at 95°C for 5 minutes
- Carefully mix each sample before loading by rubbing tube between fingers and load 15μL of sample into the wells, taking care to note which sample is in which well on which gel (if 2 are being loaded simultaneously).
- When loading to gels, load along in one direction, alternating between the two gels (if both used), but beginning with the rear gel.
- Be careful to load sample into a single well and not contaminate adjacent wells and avoid bubbles where possible
- Gel should be run for approximately 70 minutes at 130V, or until the blue gel front has been eluted from the bottom of the gel
- Check for bubble rising to ensure the gel is running correctly
Gel removal and Staining
- When the running buffer has been eluted from the gel or has reached the very bottom, turn off the current and machine
- Remove the lid of the PAGE tank and remove the gel holder from inside
- Release both gels from the holder and lay them down separately in their glass cases
- Carfeully remove the glass cover and place well away from other glass objects
- Prepare a tray with a protein dye soltuion
- Slowly peel the gel off the glass plate and into the protein dye solution (using the adhesive ability of the water helps)
- Leave to stain for 20 minutes or overnight (if staining overnight, place a film or lid over the tray to reduce evaporation)
- To destain, the stain should be poured back into the stain bottle and the gel immersed in destain solution until the destain solution is bright blue
- At this point, pour off the old destain and add some fresh
- When the gel background is relatively colourless, the gel should be removed from destain and kept in water before imaging

Latest Gaza truce holding despite early rocket fire
CAIRO – A five-day extension of a Gaza truce appeared to be holding despite a rocky start on Thursday, fanning cautious optimism of progress in the Israel-Hamas negotiations underway in Cairo.
It's the longest cease-fire yet since the war broke out last month in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian and U.N. officials claims that the fighting has so far killed more than 1,900 Palestinians, though it is not clear how many of those are civilians. Israel has lost 67 people, all but three of them soldiers.
Violence briefly spiked as the extension of a previous, 72-hour truce was announced shortly before midnight on Wednesday. The extension is to last until midnight on Monday.
Israel's military said eight Hamas rockets were launched at Israel but that the firing stopped in the early hours of Thursday morning. Israel retaliated with airstrikes on rockets and rocket-launching sites in Gaza, the military said.
Gaza police said it recorded 17 Israeli strikes but that no casualties were reported.
Palestinian negotiators in Cairo expressed optimism that a deal to create a sustainable roadmap for the war-torn territory could soon be achieved.
Hamas is seeking an end to a crippling blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt in 2007. The blockade has greatly limited the movement of Palestinians in and out of the territory of 1.8 million people. It has also restricted the flow of goods into Gaza and blocked virtually all exports.
Israel says the closure is necessary to prevent arms smuggling, and officials are reluctant to make any concessions that would allow Hamas to declare victory.
Israel wants Hamas to disarm, or at least be prevented from re-arming. Hamas has recovered from previous rounds of violence with Israel, including a major three-week ground operation in January 2009 and another weeklong air offensive in 2012. It now controls an arsenal of several thousands of rockets, some with long ranges and relatively heavy payloads.
In Cairo, Hamas official Izzat al-Rishiq official said agreement on some points in a long-term deal had already been reached, but that additional time was needed to hammer out a comprehensive agreement.
"We are holding onto our demands to open the seaport and the airport in Gaza so we can end the blockade once and for all," he said, referring to what has been a key Hamas demand in the talks for two links with the outside world.
Al-Rishiq said Hamas negotiators were leaving Cairo on Thursday for consultations in the Qatari capital of Doha, the first time they have been permitted to fly directly from that airport since a military-backed government took over in Egypt last year, replacing an Islamist president whose Muslim Brotherhood group was closely allied with Hamas.
That could be a sign that Egypt's new anti-Hamas leadership is satisfied with the degree of flexibility that Hamas and other Palestinian negotiators are demonstrating in the current talks with Israel.
Egypt has positioned itself as the key mediator in the talks, but its tough anti-Hamas policies could limit its effectiveness. The tiny Gulf Arab nation of Qatar is seen as a conduit for Hamas demands. It hosts several senior Hamas leaders and has staunchly opposed the Egypt-Israel blockade of the Palestinian coastal strip.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev would not comment on the progress of Cairo talks.

Paul Harvey was a Chicago radio man whose melodious voice and hearty "Hello, America" were cherished by millions for more than 57 years on national broadcasts that were an entrancing mix of news, storytelling and gently persuasive salesmanship. He died at the age of 90 on Feb. 28, 2009.
Harvey's show, "The Rest of the Story," reached an estimated 24 million listeners on more than 1,200 radio stations nationally and 400 Armed Forces Radio stations around the world. In Chicago, Harvey was heard on WGN-AM 720, but his local ties ran deeper.
Returning to civilian life after a three-month stint in the Army, Harvey moved to the radio big-time in Chicago. While broadcasting the news at WENR-AM in Chicago's Merchandise Mart in 1951, Harvey became friends with the building's owner, Joseph P. Kennedy, who helped him get on ABC nationally.
Harvey's 45-minute routine started at 3:30 a.m., when the alarm clock would ring in the family's 22-room home in River Forest, Ill. It never varied: brush teeth, shower, shave, get dressed, eat oatmeal, get into car and drive downtown.
His five-minute "The Rest of the Story" broadcasts featured historical vignettes with surprise endings like the story of the 13-year-old boy who receives a cash gift from Franklin Roosevelt and turns out to be Fidel Castro. Or the one about the famous trial lawyer who never finished law school (Clarence Darrow). He'd end each broadcast with his signature: "Paul Harvey. [long pause] Good day!"
Born Paul Harvey Aurandt in Tulsa on Sept. 4, 1918. He and his sister were raised by their mother after their police officer father was killed in the line of duty when Harvey was 3. He dropped his last name for professional reasons in the 1940s.
Beginning as an unpaid gofer at a Tulsa radio station in 1933, Harvey worked his way up the radio ladder.
While working in St. Louis, Harvey met Lynne Cooper, a student-teacher from a socially prominent family who read school news announcements. Instantly smitten with the young woman he nicknamed "Angel," Harvey later asked her to dinner. On the night of their first date, he proposed as they sat in her parked car. They married in June 1940. Lynne Harvey remained her husband's closest professional collaborator until she died in May 2008.

If there are truthers and birthers, should there now be a new term for those who are doubting President Obama's claim that he goes skeet shooting "all the time"? And should that term be "skeeters"? If so, count CNN's rising young star Erin Burnett among the gadflies.
During a segment on Monday night, Burnett took over two minutes to dissect the president's shooting claim — and she found it wanting.
"Obama the skeet shooter," she began. "Yeah, I'm not making this up. I mean, if someone is, it isn't me."
She then played the clip of CNN's Jessica Yellin confronting Press Secretary Jay Carney on the comments, repeatedly asking if a picture of the activity existed and why no one had ever heard of him doing it before.
Burnett then turned to a panel where she said there's "skepticism" among conservatives and non-conservatives about the president's claim.
"So, now you're going to say you do it all the time, don't you have to kind of prove it?" she asked.
Mediaite's Tommy Christopher wasn't impressed: "Such speculation is to be expected from a deranged partisan, but not from a journalist. She owes him an apology."

2WD Reg 126.8' V6 (Natl)
Starting at | Starting at 17 MPG City - 20 MPG Highway
The 2007 Toyota Tundra is offered in a number of variants, but the lineup is more simplified when compared with the domestic-brand competitors. The CrewMax cab version has best-in-class legroom, according to Toyota, and offers the only reclining and sliding rear seat among pickups. The Tundra also offers one of the best-designed interiors, with plenty of storage space and easy access to the back-seat area.
The Toyota Tundra is completely redesigned for 2007 and is larger in every dimension than the model it replaces. It's now a true half-ton truck, and comparable in size to the main domestic competitors such as the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Dodge Ram. Towing and hauling ability are now also competitive with the segment leaders, and a big, 5.7L V8 is available.
Toyota's Tundra is available in a number of variants to meet different truck users' needs for 2007, including three different engines with two- or four-wheel drive, three cab styles (Regular, Double Cab, and CrewMax), three bed lengths (short, standard, and long), and three wheelbases.

Texting while stopped: Banning safe behaviorEDITORIAL
April 15. 2014 11:40PM
The state Senate is to vote Thursday on a bill to ban "driving" while using a "hand-held mobile electronic device capable of providing voice or data communication." The bill includes as "driving" the act of being "temporarily halted in traffic for a traffic control device or other momentary delay." House Bill 1360 would ban you from "using" your cell phone for any reason while stopped at a light or stuck in a traffic jam. There is a word for that: insane.
The bill allows hands-free phone use even though research shows it is just as distracting. But legislators are sometimes more interested in appearing to solve problems than in actually solving them. So we are set to ban people stuck in traffic from using their cell phones to alert their loved ones that they are stuck in traffic.
If HB 1360 passes, a driver stuck behind a road-closing accident could not, without pulling off the road, use his phone to look up an alternative route to his destination. Nor could a reporter call the office to report the accident so other drivers would know to avoid that road.
HB 1360 would create an offense (with fines from $100 to $500) for behavior that endangers no one. Senators should toss it.

Federal Reserve policy makers said they could change the size of the central bank's monthly asset purchases to reduce the risks associated with the program, such as disrupting financial markets and spurring inflation.
"Most participants thought these risks could be managed since the committee could make adjustments to its purchases, as needed, in response to economic developments or to changes in its assessment of their efficacy and costs," according to the record of the Federal Open Market Committee's Sept. 12-13 gathering released today in Washington.
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and his policy making colleagues announced the central bank will buy $40 billion a month of mortgage bonds in a third round of quantitative easing. The FOMC aims through its newest phase of record stimulus to spur economic growth and bring down an unemployment rate stuck above 8 percent for 43 months.
The minutes contain a detailed discussion of the costs and benefits of that policy, with a few FOMC participants expressing "skepticism" that the program could help, and several saying that the purchases could "complicate the committee's efforts to withdraw monetary policy accommodation when it eventually became appropriate to do so."
Policy makers discussed whether to purchase mortgage-backed securities or Treasury debt with some saying that "all else being equal, MBS purchases could be preferable because they would more directly support the housing sector, which remains weak but has shown some signs of improvement."
Stocks Rise
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index maintained gains after the release of the minutes, rising 0.6 percent to 1,460.06 at 2:18 p.m. New York time. The dollar and Treasuries remained lower.
The FOMC in the September statement also extended its guidance for how long its target interest rate will remain near zero. The Fed lowered the rate to a range of zero to 0.25 percent in December and said it's likely to remain there "at least through mid-2015."
The Fed didn't set a total amount or duration for its mortgage-bond purchases while saying in their statement that "a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy will remain appropriate for a considerable time after the economic recovery strengthens."
Bernanke said in an Oct. 1 speech in Indianapolis that forecasting the main interest rate will remain near zero "doesn't mean that we expect the economy to be weak through" mid-2015.

I was wondering is it normal if you have blood clots when you are on your period? I have my tubes tied for 11 yrs now. I have been cloting now for the last 6 or 7 mos. I have no lower pain and I feel fine. What do you suggest to me?
Passing clots can be a sign of heavy bleeding as can bleeding more than 7 days, using double protection, soiling your clothes or having anemia. If you are not anemic or having problems, you might be alright, but you should be seen to make sure there aren't any other causes for the change in flow.

Sustaining Economic Growth and Innovation: the Roles of Antitrust and Intellectual "Property"
A central force in the growth of the American economy over the last 200 years has come from the development of new products, new methods of distribution, and other innovations. The law provides specific protections via patent and copyright for certain kinds of innovations. At the same time, antitrust law seeks to preserve and promote competition in the marketplace. At times, antitrust has focused only on short term price competition but at other times it has sought to advance innovation and market dynamics. Either way, there is often a strong tension between antitrust law and the rights granted to patent or copyright holders. This seminar will focus on the legal, economic and policy issues that result from this tension.
This will be a research and writing seminar in which participants will undertake a focused investigation of a topic or issue concerning the interaction of competition law and policy with patent and copyright law. The result will be a substantial paper (usually 45 or more pages). In the past several of the papers done for this seminar have resulted in published articles.
The first part of the seminar will focus on ensuring that all participants have a shared understanding of the issues surrounding these issues and are equipped to do individual research projects. I am currently investigating an "on-line" open source "book" to provide the basic material for our initial discussion. The last third of the semester will be devoted to presentations of first drafts of the resulting papers. Each paper will get individual comments prior to its author preparing a final version. Students who have had antitrust law are encouraged to enroll. Other students with backgrounds or significant interest in patent, copyright and related areas are welcome. Consent of instructor required for any student who has not had the antitrust course. My office is 7101, my phone is 263-7416 and my email is firstname.lastname@example.com.

This is a new staple of mine! I love BoBUnny Double dots! This heavy, two sided paper is dotted on one side and on the other has a type of swirl look on the back! There are 40 colors and I try to keep a couple pieces of each color on hand! It is great for tht little extra on a LO but when you don't want a lot of pattern! Again, it is one of my essentials!
I love these bo bunny double dot solids. They are such high quality, amazing, and they have just the color you need. I love how if you go to the bo bunny website, they reccoment which shades to use for which bo bunny paper, great feature!!!
I needed this to finish my Halloween cards and could not find it locally. It added just the right touch!
