In a city as old as Philadelphia, there's a chance you'll come across something historic pretty much any time you put a shovel into the ground.
That was the case on Wednesday, May 3 as workers replaced a water line along the 900 block of Spruce Street. During their excavation, they came across what looked like old logs:
How old?

Philadelphia Water Department historian Adam Levine and PWD staff members are hosting a walking tour of the long-ago retired Upper Roxborough Reservoir—a place whose past illuminates both the roots of its Northwest Philly neighborhood and the evolution of Philadelphia's modern-day water infrastructure.
The tour takes place at the Upper Roxborough Reservoir, 601 Port Royal Ave., on May 17 and will last from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This event is being held as a part of Philadelphia Parks and Recreation's Love Your Park Week 2017.

This post explores the foundations of Philadelphia's water infrastructure as we continue to highlight the crucial systems that keep Philly running during Infrastructure Week 2016.
Last year, Philadelphia Water historian Adam Levine joined department employees like long-time engineer Drew Brown on a tour of the Franklin Institute archives, which include a trove of 18th and 19th century drawings by Frederick Graff, an engineer himself with incredible artistic talent who helped to design and operate some of Philadelphia's earliest water infrastructure. Included in the collection are a number of water-related works by other artists, engineers and cartographers.
Graff's collection—much of which incorporates watercolor and focuses on hydraulic systems and Philadelphia's rivers and streams—showcases a fascinating blend of the technical and beautiful, capturing the most finite details of buildings, machines and natural terrain with breathtaking style.

We know that people who are aware of their local watershed and the challenges it faces—along with why that water is important—make for better stewards. They care about issues like keeping pet waste and litter out of the streets that ultimately drain into the watershed. And they know what an important role programs like Green City, Clean Waters play in protecting their watershed.
Encouraging that kind of engagement and knowledge is the goal guiding our efforts to collect and share the stories and history connected to the 22-square mile Cobbs Creek Watershed, which is part of the larger Darby-Cobbs Watershed, one of seven in the city. Cobbs Creek itself starts right around Haverford College and runs through the western suburbs and West Philadelphia before entering Darby Creek above the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge near the Philadelphia International Airport (click here for an interactive watershed map).
Next week, we'll be hosting a special talk about the history of Cobbs Creek with Adam Levine, a local historian who has spent two decades studying and documenting the history of water and waterways in Philadelphia. You would be hard pressed to find another person with more knowledge of what the city's watersheds have been through since the first European settlers came here, and Levine's presentations are always fascinating and informative.
In this week's throwback post, we see some large mains under construction
August 4th, 1904— almost exactly 111 years ago.
As the three large, cast iron mains are laid in a Northeast neighborhood, some residents have gathered to watch the construction activity.
We couldn't help but take a closer look at the awesome facial hair on the guy on the right side of the photo (see the close-up of him below). Maybe this is really Fishtown, circa 2015?
In this week's throwback post, we look at a photo from the Philadelphia Water archives taken on October 24, 1903.
While a bit eerie—14 people died during the multiyear construction of the project pictured—this photo does give you a real sense of appreciation for the scale of water infrastructure beneath our feet and the herculean effort and sacrifice made by the generations before us to make sure their kids (and all of us) could have a future with clean, safe drinking water.
In this image, streams of groundwater entered the Torresdale Conduit as it was blasted out of bedrock, hampering construction. This worker used a hand-operated pump to remove the excess water. The conduit took two and a half years to complete, and had a capacity of 300 million gallons per day.
Still in use today, the Torresdale Conduit was built along the Delaware River waterfront in the first decade of the 20th century. It carries filtered water from the Torresdale Filters (now the Baxter Water Treatment Plant) to the Lardner's Point Pumping Station, which pumps the water into the city's system of distribution pipes. When they were completed, both the filter plant (covering about 75 acres) and the pumping station (with a capacity of 200 million gallons a day) were each the largest of their kind in the world.
In his 1987 book Typhoid and the Politics of Public Health in Nineteenth-century Philadelphia, Michael P. McCarthy wrote that the project was popular because the engineers saved about $2 million by using brick instead of cast iron. But there was also, apparently, some civic pride: "... the conduit was quite popular because, in addition to the savings involved, it was a sophisticated project that gave the city a good deal of favorable publicity."
The conduit is about 2.5 miles long and about 10.5 feet in diameter. Constructed of bricks and mortar, it lies about 100 feet underground and is still an integral part of our water distribution system.

In a recent Order, Judge Sue L. Robinson "confirm[ed]" her position on early summary judgment:
"The court will not entertain motions for summary judgment before the close of discovery unless: (a) the parties stipulate to the underlying facts of a dispute [either by agreement or presumption] (turning the exercise into resolving a question of law); or (b) the issue in dispute is dispositive, meaning that the court's decision (regardless of its outcome) becomes the law of the case."
In re: Automated Transaction LLC Patent Litigation, MDL Civ. No. 13-2429-SLR, at 1 (D. Del. Oct. 8, 2013). As to (b), the Court explained that it had "neither the time nor the resources to engage in multiple summary judgment exercises per case." Id.
Additionally, plaintiff had requested that damages and willfulness not be bifurcated, as is Judge Robinson's standard practice. The Court granted this request, "given the MDL status of this litigation." Id. at 1.

Which iconic and highly desirable race car do you desire most?
These are the "down the pub" conversations that the MyCarHeaven team have all the time, and we love. Here is a massive dilemma for you to think about and debate with your friends. At the recent 2015 Concours of Elegance at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, we came across these dream three cars all lined up together. Which car would you want most?
From left to right:
1961 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato (far left)
1962 Ferrari 250 GTO (middle)
1961 Jaguar E-Type 'Lightweight' (far right)
For us, (sorry Jaguar fans), it would be a straight decision between the Aston and the Ferrari. The Aston is rarer with only 19 made compared to 39 of the Ferrari. The Ferrari wins on its financial value everyday of the week, as it's the most sought after car in the world. Looks, and here's what we'd go on, it's a draw, they are both stunningly beautiful. I think the Ferrari edges it for us, but by the finest of margins.

Tough one.
Head – Jaguar (probably the better racer)
Heart – Aston (why wouldn't you want one)
Wallet – Ferrari (bonkers values)
This is a really easy choice for me & it has to be the E-Type. I've loved them since I was a child, so I would chose that over the other two.

The government of Ethiopia announced Monday that its citizens had planted 353 million trees in a single day as part of an effort to reverse decades of deforestation and help fight climate change.
It is believed to be the largest one-day mass planting in history, exceeding an effort in 2017 in India in which 1.5 million volunteers planted 66 million trees in just over 12 hours.
Ethiopia has joined 20 other African nations in a pledge to restore almost 400,000 square miles of forest on the continent. According to the United Nations, forest cover in Ethiopia has declined from 35 percent in the last century to just 4 percent today. The 426,000-square-mile country in the Horn of Africa plans to plant a total of 4 billion trees by the beginning of the rainy season in October. With a population of about 100 million people (including children), that goal would require every person in the country to plant at least 40 seedlings.
Government workers and students were given the day off to participate.
Earlier this month, a study published in the journal Science calculated that planting a forest nearly double the size of the United States could save the planet from the worst consequences of global warming. Those new forests would be capable of storing about 205 metric tons of carbon, which is roughly two-thirds of the excess carbon human beings have added to the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution.
Reforestation has increasingly come to be seen as a means for addressing what scientists have begun calling a climate crisis caused by human carbon emissions.
In the United Kingdom, for example, government officials have estimated that the country will need to plant 1.5 billion trees if it hopes to reach its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
But setbacks to reforestation goals abound. In Brazil, President Jair Bolsonaro has reversed government protections of the Amazon rainforest, opening the region to development. Since Bolsonaro took office seven months ago, 1,330 square miles of forest cover have been lost, the New York Times reported.
Fifty years ago, the Amazon forest was itself as big in area as the lower 48 U.S. states. Since that time, it has been reduced by 16 percent, largely due to logging, PRI reported. Excess carbon in the atmosphere has also made equatorial forests less viable.
Whether tree planting can stay ahead of deforestation will help determine whether people can avert the worst consequences of global warming.

The decision whether to operate their own high-risk pool for
sick people who can't get insurance has become a highly politicized issue in
some states, with a number of Republican governors blasting the $5 billion set
aside for the provision as insufficient.
As of mid-day Friday, 21 states and the District of Columbia
had decided to run their own pool while 11 states had opted to let the federal
government take over. Of the latter, all have Republican administrations save
for Tennessee and Wyoming.
Conversely, all but five of the 21 states that opted to run
their own pools are led by Democrats. The exceptions: Connecticut, Rhode
Island, South Dakota, Vermont and California, where Arnold Schwarzenegger on
Thursday became the first Republican governor to endorse the health reform law.
In an April 2 letter to governors and insurance commissioners, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius set an April 30 deadline for states to decide whether to run their own pool.
In states that choose not to run their own programs, the federal government will use their share to cover that state's uninsured itself. HHS unveiled each state's share of the $5 billion last week.
California would get the most, $761 million, while North
Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming would each get $8 million. The high-risk pools are
scheduled to begin operating July 1 and aim to cover sick people who can't find
insurance until 2014, at which point the comprehensive health coverage provisions kick in.
A number of state officials and health experts expect that
the $5 billion will run out long before then, however, raising concerns that
states that choose to run their own pool will be forced to foot the bill until
2014 once the money runs out. Rick Foster, the chief actuary for the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services, pointed out in an April 22 analysis of the
health reform law that "by 2011 and 2012 the initial $5 billion in federal
funding for this program would be exhausted, resulting in substantial premium
increases to sustain the program; we anticipate that such increases would limit
further participation."
An insurance industry source told The Hill that health
plans are also concerned that states that choose to run their own pools could
raise taxes on insurance plans once they run out of money, potentially raising
premiums for everyone.
The squabble over the high-risk pool has become particularly heated in Nevada, where Senate Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry Mason ReidKamala Harris to young Black women at conference: 'I want you to be ambitious' Obama calls filibuster 'Jim Crow relic,' backs new Voting Rights Act bill McConnell warns Democrats not to change filibuster rule MORE (D) has begun to run on his healthcare record just as Gov. Jim Gibbons (R) on Wednesday called the $61 million set aside for his state "grossly inadequate."
While Gibbons told Sebelius that Nevada's share would only
cover 2,900 of the 100,000 or so Nevadans who may be eligible, Reid blasted
Gibbons' decision not to run a state pool.
Other Republican governors have also been vocally critical.
In a letter sent to Sebelius Friday, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) said he
couldn't allow "exposing Indiana taxpayers to an open-ended and potentially
enormous new burden."
Meanwhile, Wyoming's Democratic governor Dave Freudenthal opted for a more conciliatory tone in a letter he sent to Sebelius on Wednesday.
"I am aware that this allocation [of $8 million] is in
addition to the premiums paid by enrollees to the program; however, I still
worry that the allotted money may prove to be insufficient to fully operate
this program until 2014."
Other state officials have embraced the opportunity to run
their own pools.
Asked about California's commitment to running its own
high-risk pool during a press conference Thursday, the state's Health and Human Services
Secretary Kimberly Belshe called it a "great opportunity."
"We are confident," Belshe said, "that working with the legislature and with
stakeholders we can make this expanded high-risk pool a reality for
Californians, tens of thousands who we think will be able to enroll as a result
of these federally funded planning, administration and coverage dollars."
At the federal level, some Democratic lawmakers have also drawn
attention to the program and the money it means for their states.
Sen. Tom HarkinThomas (Tom) Richard HarkinErnst challenges Greenfield to six debates in Iowa Senate race Biden unveils disability rights plan: 'Your voices must be heard' Bottom line MORE (D-Iowa) may have been the first lawmaker to
tout the $35 million set aside for his state.
"Health reform will offer coverage to thousands of Iowans who, until now, have been locked out of the system," Harkin said in an April 22 statement. "Having a pre-existing condition, whether it was a congenital heart problem, diabetes, or even arthritis, often meant that basic healthcare was out of reach"
He added, "Every American family should have access to the affordable,
quality coverage they deserve and as these reforms take effect, we are moving
towards that goal."
Democratic Sens. Chris Dodd has also highlighted that the
provision will benefit his state of Connecticut to the tune of $50 million.
Here's the breakdown, as of mid-day Friday on states that
intend to operate their own high-risk pool program:
District of Columbia
New Jersey
North Carolina
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Washington State
States that have elected to have HHS run the high-risk pool program:

The relationship between NBA players and game officials is unlike any other in the big four North American professional sports leagues.
There is more interaction, like quick conversations. There are relationships that have been built — good and bad — over long careers on both sides, and the give-and-take can be a crucial part of the game.
Raptors fans saw it firsthand this week when Kyle Lowry was ejected in rapier-like fashion by a young official, J.B. DeRosa, who hasn't quite mastered the delicate balance needed to calm down intense moments of anger and frustration.
He should have walked away and left Lowry to vent without paying close attention, a point Raptors coach Dwane Casey made quickly after the game.
Lowry also has to share some of the blame, because no one else knows precisely what he said or how he said it, but he kept going a few seconds too long. There was enough time between the first and second technical foul for him to realize what kind of trouble he was in, and the consequences he'd face if he kept it up.
Article Continued Below
What was missing was that balance between arguments — those spur-of-the-moment outbursts — and someone, usually the official, taking the higher road.
"The veteran official calls a tech (and) walks away, because he understands the moment, the frustration level," Casey said.
The trouble is, the number of truly veteran officials is dwindling (of the 64 regular refs, only 20 of them have 20 or more years of service, and 28 have yet to officiate for 10 years) and because there is so much interaction between player and ref, it takes time — a lot of time — to gain the necessary experience to defuse a situation.
"Back in the old days, officials wouldn't even acknowledge you. They wouldn't even talk to you unless they were trying to put you in your place," Casey said. "Now they do a good job of communicating when they need to. There are certain situations (where) I think they should walk away and understand what the level of frustration in the moment — in the game — is and handle it. That's where a veteran official has a better feel."
Some day they'll grow into the job.
"We've got some good young officials that need experience, like players, like coaches," Casey said. "And they're growing. They're going to make mistakes. We understand that.
"We have a good group of veteran officials that are good leaders, good mentors, that have to lead in those situations."
The Minnesota Timberwolves hit a bit of a bump when they were routed Wednesday night by the Golden State Warriors, who were playing without Kevin Durant. Still, one of the more intriguing teams in the NBA is off to an excellent start, among the top teams in the Western Conference with a 7-4 record heading into Thursday night. Included in those seven wins were five victories in a row, and the last time a Minnesota team rattled off five straight was Jan. 2 to 10, 2009. But with so much of the season to go and a relatively young team, coach Tom Thibodeau isn't going to let them get too full of themselves: "Obviously, it's better than losing, but the big thing is for us to concentrate on improving. . . . There's another one coming tomorrow, so if you start feeling good about yourself, you're going to get knocked down," That was before the Warriors spanked them, so the coach knows what of he speaks.
The ageless Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs went past the 1,000-game mark this week, and there's never been a player who's had such an impact over that period of time. Now, a lot of it has to do with the teammates he's had and the franchise he's spent his entire career with, but of the first 1,000 games the Argentine wonder played, he was on the winning side 728 times — the most ever by a player at the 1,000-game plateau. Not surprisingly, second-best was Tony Parker with 718 and Tim Duncan won 707 of his first 1,000 for fourth on the list. Former Chicago Bull Scottie Pippen (715) broke up the Spurs domination and sits third.
There are some certainties this time of year: October and November come and the weather changes, the NBA season begins, and the Philadelphia 76ers stumble out of the game as The Process drones on. But times, and the team's fortunes, are changing. When Philadelphia beat the Indiana Pacers last weekend and then toppled the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, it ran their record to 6-4 heading into Thursday at Sacramento. Regardless of how that turns out, the Sixers will have a winning record on Friday morning and this marks the first week they've been over .500 on any November morning since 2013.
Jared Sullinger, whose all-to-brief stint with the Raptors was ruined by pre-season foot surgery a year ago, seems to have found a nice new home. Having washed out with three NBA teams — Boston, Toronto and Phoenix after the Raptors dealt him for P.J. Tucker — Sullinger is having a wonderful season in China with the Shenzhen Leopards. So good that the six-foot-nine forward set a new high in China's CBA last weekend with 55 points against Xinjiang. He began this week averaging 47.3 points and 17.7 rebounds per game.
The Sacramento Kings upset the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday for their second win in 10 games, and were going after No. 3 when they hosted the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. Two wins, or even three, are nothing really to crow about, but the Kings are trying to end one of the longest stretches of futility of the recent era and every victory counts. Sacramento has not put together a season of 35 wins or more in the last 10, and the march to even mediocrity is long. It's almost impossible for a bad team to stay that bad for so long. The Kings are the gold standard when it comes to poor records.

NEW DELHI (AFP) – India's sports minister sought to reassure Australian cricketers about their safety after a rock shattered a window on the bus taking them to their hotel following a series-levelling win in the second Twenty20 international.
The incident in the northeastern Indian city of Guwahati was the second in two months, after Cricket Australia said in September that the team's bus window was broken by a "small rock or stone" in Bangladesh after a Test match.
"Pretty scary having a rock thrown through the team bus window on the way back to the hotel!!," batsman Aaron Finch tweeted after the eight-wicket win against India.
The photo he posted on Twitter showed a shattered window pane with a large hole.
Indian Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore, an Olympic silver medallist in shooting, said there were tight security arrangements in place for the Australian team as well as for the players taking part in the Under-17 FIFA World Cup.
"Personal security of visiting athletes & teams is extremely important for us," he tweeted.
"Guwahati stone-throwing incident NOT reflective of our security measures. Aus team & FIFA are content w/those. India remains a graceful host."
Two people have been arrested as police investigations into the incident continue, the Press Trust of India reported.
Cricket Australia's news site cricket.com.au said no one was hurt when the window was broken by a rock roughly the size of a cricket ball, but the Australian players were "understandably shaken up".
A CA spokesman said they were "satisfied with the levels of security provided".
Top Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said guests should be treated with respect and urged restraint from his countrymen.
"The stone thrown at the Aussie team bus shows us in bad light, let's all act more responsibly. A vast majority of us are capable of that," he wrote on Twitter.
The final T20 game will be played in Hyderabad tomorrow.

Beta Available:
I'm getting near to releasing version 2.0 of IceBreaker, which has many nice new fancy features -- most notably, the addition of themes support. Since this is almost ready, I'd love it if you'd check out the 1.9.5 version, which is a sort of public beta. However, if you're looking for the most stable, bug-free experience, stick with 1.2.1, which you can download below.
If you download one of these beta packages, there's several things I'd like to do. Please report your overall experience, good or bad, to me via e-mail. If you find any bugs, let me know. If you have any suggestions for improvements, I want to hear those too.
I also really would like to have submissions for new themes. They're easy to create, and since they're so small, I don't see why we can't include dozens or hundreds.
Source packages:
Red Hat Linux 7.1 binary packages:
These RPMs are signed by the Boston University Linux project. Use this key to check their authenticity.
Required Library Information:
You'll also need SDL and SDL_mixer, the basic multimedia libraries upon which IceBreaker is built. These are now part of the standard Red Hat Linux distribution; if you don't have them, you can grab 'em from a Red Hat mirror, or of course from the main SDL site.
The binary IceBreaker RPMs are linked against SDL-1.1.7 and SDL_mixer-1.1.0. If you have newer (1.2.x) lineage SDL, the game will work, but you'll have to rebuild the RPM or compile from the source. (As I mention below, this is easy.)
Jonathan DePrizio was kind enough to rebuild the RPM on a LinuxPPC machine (release 2000 Q1):
You'll also need the SDL package from libsdl.org.
Other RPM-based distributions or architectures:
In most cases, you should be able to grab the source rpm and rebuild.
This is really easy: run
Alternately, with the 1.9.x versions and later, you can download
the source tgz, untar it (with
IceBreaker is also part of Debian GNU/Linux. If you're running Debian, I imagine you probably know how to use apt-get to add packages, but you could also look at the debian package web page.
Microsoft Windows:
This was originally a Linux project, but Enrico Tassi has done a lot of great work so that it now cross-compiles nicely for win32. This means if you're somehow stuck with the OS everyone loves to hate, you'll still be able to enjoy the game. Download icebreaker-1.2.1.exe. This includes the SDL runtime, so you don't need to worry about getting that separately.
For Other Operating Systems:
There is also a BeOS version listed on BeBits, thanks to Eugenia Loli-Queru.
It apparently builds okay on Sun Solaris too.
And, IceBreaker is in the FreeBSD ports collection. Cool.
Anyone want to make a MacOS version? SDL and SDL_mixer, the required libraries, work on both OS X and earlier versions, so it should be quite easy to port. I'd love to have a compiled version to distribute here.
Building from the source tarball:
If a binary isn't available for your system, and you can't or don't want to use RPM or dpkg, you can build IceBreaker from source. I assume that if you want to do this, you know what you're doing. It's a pretty simple matter of make / make install. The Win32 build works using the mingw32 toolchain. You'll probably want to use gcc and GNU make if possible. In any case, you'll need the SDL libraries, which you can get from the SDL home (probably better) or from this site.

Little House, big idea
Last month the American Library Association voted to change the name of the Laura Ingalls Award to the rather bland sounding Children's Literature Legacy Award. The reason for its previous name is because Wilder's 'Little House' book series was one of the most successful and impactful pieces of writing in American history, and for good reason. The official announcement from the ALA was full of the typical weasel statements you'd expect when left oriented groups are trying to remove such influential writings from national consciousness. Try this on for size:
Wilder's books are a product of her life experiences and perspective as a settler in America's 1800s. Her works reflect dated cultural attitudes toward Indigenous people and people of color (sic) that contradict modern acceptance, celebration, and understanding of diverse communities.
There's no Sherlock award for working out that the books are a product of her life experiences, … Read the rest

A method for ultrafast photonic time-intensity integration of an arbitrary temporal waveform is, for the first time to our knowledge, proposed and demonstrated. The introduced intensity-integration concept is based on the superposition of mutually incoherent, continuously-time-delayed replicas of the optical intensity waveform to be processed. This idea is practically implemented using optical intensity modulation of the input waveform with a rectangularlike incoherent energy spectrum distribution followed by linear dispersion. The key design specifications of the proposed integration scheme are derived and discussed. Proof-of-concept experiments are performed demonstrating accurate integration of several duration-limited microwave and optical intensity waveforms with time features from the picosecond to the subnanosecond range.

Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp announces that Kayron Jackson, aka Alkama Jackson, aka "Keys," of Mount Olive, has been indicted on numerous charges stemming from an investigation into the May death of Jennifer Ward, 35, in Jefferson Township.
An 18-count Indictment was returned yesterday (Oc. 24) against Jackson, 37, charging him with the first degree crime of Strict Liability for Drug-Induced Death, and the third degree crime of Distribution of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (Fentanyl).
These charges are related to allegations that Jackson distributed Fentanyl to Ward on May 4 in Mount Olive, which then resulted in her death. In addition to these charges, Jackson was also indicted on charges of third degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (Fentanyl) and third degree Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Dangerous Substance (Fentanyl) for his alleged conduct on May 4.
The Grand Jury also returned charges against Jackson related to multiple other instances of alleged drug dealing. They are as follows:
Lastly, the Grand Jury also returned a charge against Jackson of Hindering His Own Apprehension or Prosecution, a crime of the third degree, for conduct alleged to have occurred on July 28, 2017.
Jackson had previously been charged by way of a warrant-complaint with numerous crimes related to this death investigation. Those charges were authorized on July 27 by Superior Court Judge Thomas J. Critchley. Jackson was subsequently arrested on those charges on July 28 in Mount Olive and has been since remanded to the Morris County Correctional Facility pending future court proceedings.
Members of the Mount Olive Police Department, Jefferson Township Police Department, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office Major Crimes Unit and Special Enforcement Unit, the Morris County Sheriff's Office – Criminal Investigation Section, and the Morris County Medical Examiner's Office have contributed to this investigation and prosecution.
Despite the return of an Indictment in this matter, this defendant is presumed innocent unless, or until, he is proven guilty in court.
Any inquiries can be directed to the Morris County First Assistant Prosecutor Thomas Zelante at (973) 285-6200 or [email protected].

If your doc finds nothing amiss, try your dentist. She'll look for gum disease and will probably check out any existing dental work; as fillings age, they can sometimes break down and alter taste. If those causes aren't to blame, pay extra attention to your oral hygiene. Be sure to brush your teeth carefully at least twice a day and use a tongue scraper to remove the bacteria and debris that can collect on your tongue, which could create off tastes in your mouth. In addition, not drinking enough water can contribute to problems with taste. Up your intake and see if that helps. You don't have to drink the recommended eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day; my rule of thumb is to drink as much of that amount as you comfortably can—and more than you think you need.
If you rule out all of these possible causes and still have the taste, it might be worth consulting a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. He would view the metallic taste as a sign of an imbalance in your system, such as too much stress, too little sleep or exercise, or a bad diet, which he might treat with a combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, dietary changes, and other traditional therapies. Find a qualified practitioner through the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture.

"These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." 1 John 5:13
To be perfectly candid, I do not understand how people go to bed at night not knowing how they will spend eternity. The year was 1967, I was laying in bed saying my prayers, when the thought came to my mind; I don't know for sure that there is a God, and will I go to heaven if there is one. At that point I said to myself, "if there is a God please help me to go to sleep because I don't want to think about this anymore. "
Having grown up in a semi religious home and taught in a religious school I understood certain facts about the "Christian" religion but I did not know that those facts were true. When I fell asleep that night it was with fear of the unknown on my heart. My mother was an atheist, brought up in a home of unbelievers. I once heard her say, "When you die, you die, they put you in the ground and that's the end of it." My father on the other hand was religious as a result of being shot and while laying in a fox hole just days beyond Anzio beach during World War II. At that time he told God, "If you let me live I'll serve you."
I can remember sitting in religious instruction and hearing the teacher say, "Because you are part of this religion you will go to heaven." I thought to myself, I am very glad that I am part of this religion, but shortly after that time I found myself in bed with no assurance that the things I believed were true.
One of the primary reasons the Apostle John wrote his first letter was so that believers might be assured of their eternal destination. "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life" 1 John 5:13. Only a true believer in Jesus Christ can know without any doubt that he possesses eternal life. In the upcoming blogs on revival we will explore how a person can know that he or she has eternal life.
John's letter examines the evidences to eternal life in chapters 2 through 5, but in chapter 1 he gives 7 realities that a Christian must live within if he/she is to contend with sin in an effective way. We will explore them in a later blog. There seems to be a dichotomy between chapter 1 and the rest of John's letter, but in reality there is no true contradiction. In chapter 1 John deals with the Christian's continuing battle with sin, but in the rest of his letter he proclaims the victory that belongs to a true believer. It is that victory, in all its various ways, that establishes assurance in the believer's heart and mind.
Assurance of salvation is a purifier of the soul and purity is a major contributor to an assurance of salvation. Because a believer has assurance of salvation he is kept from sinning, and when he does not sin he is given an assurance of salvation. Therein lies a victorious cycle that no believer can afford to be without. John tells us in his letter, " And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure" 1 John 3:3. In context the Christian believes that when Jesus returns he will be made like Him because he will see Him for what He is and not what he wants Him to be. The believer lives in the reality of truth provided by the Bible and not a false reality provided by Satan, which all unbelievers are willing to accept because of indwelling sin. And it is this hope and the reality of loving Jesus Christ that purifies the believer's heart and soul.
The seeming dichotomy between chapter one and the rest of the letter is in the fact that chapter one deals directly with the believer's ongoing battle with sin, while the remainder of the letter seems to indicate a serious victory over sin. It is the believer's serious battle with sin that indicates that a believer has eternal life dwelling within him. All men sin but what separates the believer from the unbeliever is that the man who possesses eternal life has moved from death to life and from unbelief to belief.
"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." John 3:19-21

Healthy Chocolate Fudge Cakes
Kids parties are the worst.
I mean, I live in a loud house. My husband is loud, my daughter is loud, I'm loud - I get loud. Or at least I thought I did...until I hosted a dozen seven-year-olds for a disco birthday party. And you know how there's always that one obnoxious friend/parent that insists on eating healthily and encouraging other people to do it too, even though it's a party? Well I'm that obnoxious friend, attempting to tantalise small children into eating my nutritious party snacks (with varying degrees of success).
Chips and pretzels? Nope, we have veggie sticks and homemade dip. Lollies and chocolates? Nope, we have fresh summer fruit platters. Chocolate crackles, you say? Yes, but they're made with raw cacao powder and puffed brown rice - mwahahaha! And usually to balance out all that healthy I create the most over-the-top, indulgent, diabetes-inducing birthday cake because after all - life is about balance, right?
WELL NOT THIS YEAR. And thank God I didn't, because I can't even fathom the damage my eardrums would have suffered if they had also been hyped up on sugar...This year was all about the healthy chocolate fudge cake. I figured there had to be a chocolate cake that didn't create mad sugar-rushes in children that already have far too much energy, but still tasted good enough that they wouldn't turn their noses up at it after one bite. Well my friends, I have created that cake. BONUS - it's very adaptable to whatever ingredients you have. DOUBLE BONUS - it's super easy to make vegan if you want/need to. TRIPLE BONUS - it's a one bowl recipe. Winning!
Wholemeal spelt flour provides vitamins, minerals and a healthy amount of fibre to slow down the digestion of the carbohydrates (meaning no crazy sugar highs followed by an almighty crash) but any wholemeal flour is fine. Organic brown rice syrup replaces white sugar, removing the fructose and providing trace amounts of calcium and zinc although pure maple syrup is also a great option. Canola oil is out and coconut oil is in, providing medium-chain fatty acids that are good for skin, hair, gut health and immune system function.
I've now made this cake three times since developing the recipe just over a week ago - once as a large cake and twice as small cakes, and it works brilliantly as either. I've fed it to kids and adults alike and everyone scoffed them down without a second thought. It works perfectly as a vegan cake by swapping the dairy milk for almond milk and the eggs for 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce. It's basically the perfect no-fail, one-bowl, good-for-you chocolate fudge cake. Can it get any better? I suggest you make it right now and judge that for yourself.

Coming Soon
Deja Noir, by Robert E. Bailey:
Ray Kerze, a widowed, alcoholic ex-cop, calls himself "running a PI business" in the decaying heart of Detroit. What he's really doing is drowning himself in whiskey, and helping out other struggling denizens of downtown Detroit in his sober moments. But when Misty Lake, on the run from the Mob and with nowhere else to turn, shows up at his door, she changes his whole life. How do a run-down ex-cop and a runaway would-be prostitute get tangled up with skinheads, and how does that get them mired in a scandal that goes all the way to City Hall? How does the FBI get involved? More important, how the heck do they get out of it?
A publication date is forthcoming. In the meantime, we'll need help choosing the cover! Check back for details!

Exterior door trim
By David
Status: Paid to kkubitz0231
Location: Cedar Park, Texas, 78613
Category: Handyman & Assembly
Budget: $75.00
Payment type: Pay Directly with Cash or Check
Complete by: Jul 2, 2016
Posted: May 29, 2016
I recently had an exterior door replaced that was built for a 2x4 wall. Unfortunately, my house was built with 2x6 walls. I need the outer door frame trimmed to match the exterior wall. Some of the trim that came with the door can be used but needs cut. Some additional materials will be needed. I'm looking for someone to do the trim work only. No painting involved. I would estimate that this job should take two hours or less. I'll cover materials.

Background: Several biologic medicines are available to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and they differ in administration method (subcutaneous or intravenous [IV]). We analyzed a pharmacy benefit manager database to estimate claims-based, algorithm-determined effectiveness and cost per effectively treated patient for biologics used to treat RA.
Methods: We analyzed the Medco Health Solutions pharmacy benefit manager database to identify patients with one or more claims for a biologic used to treat RA from 2007 to 2012. The first observed claim defined the index date, the previous 180 days were the pre-index period, and follow-up was 365 days after the index date. Effectiveness of a biologic was determined by a validated, published algorithm designed for use in claims database analyses. Cost per effectively treated patient as determined by the algorithm was calculated as the total annual cost of the biologic therapy divided by the number of effectively treated patients. Analyses were conducted for subcutaneous, IV, and individual biologics.
Results: The analysis population was 1,090 patients (subcutaneous: 785, IV: 305; etanercept: 440, adalimumab: 345, infliximab: 201, abatacept: 104). The mean age was 49.7±9.4 years, and 78% of the patients were female. Effectiveness according to the algorithm was higher in subcutaneous (36%) versus IV biologics (23%; P<0.001), and in etanercept (36%) versus infliximab (22%; P<0.001) and versus abatacept (24%; P=0.02). Etanercept and adalimumab were similar (35%; P=0.77). The cost per effectively treated patient according to the algorithm was $64,738 for subcutaneous biologics, $80,408 for IV biologics, $62,841 for etanercept, $67,226 for adalimumab, $90,696 for infliximab, and $62,303 for abatacept.
Conclusion: Effectiveness according to a validated, claims-based algorithm was higher in subcutaneous versus IV biologics. Cost per effectively treated patient according to the algorithm was approximately $16,000 less in subcutaneous versus IV biologics.
Keywords: biologic medications, claims-based algorithm, pharmacy benefit management

Shorthand for Sale
These were the words of wisdom shared with me by my well-meaning aunt. They are the words that prompted me to take every shorthand, typing, and 10-key class I could during high school and my first year of college.
The typing and 10-key, I still use. But let's talk about shorthand. For those of you who are too young to know what shorthand is (and sadly, that's probably a pretty good chunk of the population now) it was the skill that would allow a boss to tell the secretary what they wanted written, while the secretary wrote it down with a series of scratches and scribbles that were then typed back into the English language. To the average person, they looked like a cross between doodling and Chinese.
I excelled at shorthand. I could take dictation at over 100 words per minute. I could transcribe that dictation with nearly perfect accuracy. I practiced it so much that I started thinking in shorthand. Shorthand, along with my typing, 10-key and other secretarial skills were preparing me for a future career.
Sadly, I used shorthand at exactly one job. And at that job, I was called in to take dictation twice. The next time my boss called me in, he showed me this amazing gadget that you recorded your memos or letters into and then I could transcribe it using this wonderful machine called a transcription machine. Just two years after I graduated from high school, shorthand was eliminated from the curriculum.
So what do you do with an obsolete skill? You can't take it to a pawn shop or the Goodwill with your parachute pants, your oversized color-blocked sweater or your 8-track tapes of K.C and the Sunshine Band. I guess you can do what I do and take down baby blessings for relatives. You can write yourself secret notes that you don't want anyone to be able to read. You can impress little children by showing them how funny their name looks in shorthand. Beyond that? There's really nothing you can do with it.
Thankfully, I've heard it said that it sharpens your mind to have a skill like shorthand. So any time I start to feel a little dull in the head, I'll whip out a steno pad and take a few curlicued notes.
As far as good preparation for a career down the road? I guess I'd better hope that books don't become obsolete.

Actually - there is a use for shorthand! My friend uses it when babies are blessed in her ward. She then translates it and prints it out and gives it to the family. It's pretty cool. :)

i'm so grateful to have had you use your mad shorthand skills at each of my baby's blessings.thanks for doing that. it sure is fascinating to look at.

I would take the shorthand skill over not having it. I bet you can take some excellent notes in church or conference.

i remember borrowing your shorthand book so that i could learn a few words, but i don't think i ever tried to learn it beyond flipping through the book. i cannot understand how that can all stay in your brain for this many years. it is amazing... i could call it a skill and a talent.
thank you for writing down aaron jr's blessing. until the next one... keep that skill sharp. :)

If you ever teach shorthand, I would love to learn!!
(We don't have too much extra money floating around for me to take a shorthand course.)

I have been teaching shorthand for 30 years and now retired I give Pitman lessons over the telephone for very little cost to keep the skill going. There is still a demand in courts and hospitals.

Do you remember D.E.A.R? At my elementary school that meant "Drop Everything And Read," something we typically did for 10 or 15 minutes every day. Best part of my day, really. As my TBR and Library piles are battling for supremacy and trying to sneak in around the review copies who have staked out places on my calendar, I'm thinking back to the simpler days of D.E.A.R., when I believed I had time to get to any book I wanted. And that, of course, got me fantasizing about a world where I really could just Drop Everything And Read for more than just 15 minutes a day.
There is a series that I totally missed out on as a child, and that makes me very sad. Happily, though, Harper Collins has been re-releasing these books over the past year or so and the fabulous Book Club Girl is a huge evangelist for them, and convinced me to try them.
Reader, they are the Betsy-Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace, and they are fabulous.
There are four Betsy-Tacy books that begin when Betsy and Tacy are in Kindergarten, I believe, and increase in reading difficulty as the girls age and the reader ages along with them. I haven't read these yet, but if I have a little girl, you had better believe that I will be snapping them up right away.
The books I have begin with Betsy and Tacy's freshman year of high school, and go through the two years following high school So far I have only read the first two works, which Harper Collins has bound in a single book (which is great, but also makes this confusing to talk about, just a little), "Heaven to Betsy" and "Betsy in Spite of Herself," which I reviewed last year.
I loved it so much, but sadly I haven't had a chance to get back to the other books (4 works packaged into 2 books) just yet, partially because I loaned them to my friend who just had a baby, figuring they were perfect post-partum reads: They are fun, yet not frivolous, easy, but not worthless. The Betsy-Tacy books are the same sort of deeply comforting read as "Anne of Green Gables." I've only just gotten the books back, so if I could just Drop Everything and Read, I would start by finishing the Betsy-Tacy series, "Betsy Was a Junior" and "Betsy and Joe," then "Betsy and the Great World" and "Betsy's Wedding."
However, since I don't believe there is any such thing as too much Deep Valley (the place where Betsy and Tacy live in Minnesota), I wouldn't stop there. Harper Collins has released two more editions of Lovelace's work, "Emily of Deep Valley," as well as another two work edition, "Carney's House Party" and "Winona's Pony Cart."
If you want more information about "Betsy-Tacy," Maud Hart Lovelace, or Deep Valley, I have links!
You could start with Mitali Perkins and Melissa Wiley, who wrote the forewords of the new editions
Meg Cabot wrote an essay in the Wall Street Journal about the books
Harper Collins allows you browse inside the books
Book Club Girl on Air will have a show featuring Mitali Perkins and Melissa Wiley on November 15
Or if you want to attend an event in person you can at the Magers & Quinn Booksellers Party in Minneapolis on November 7, the Mitali Perkins event at Brookline Booksmith on November 13, or with Melissa Wiley at the Readers, Inc. Betsy-Tacy rerelease party on November 20th.

BSOD issues with windows 8.1
I often get BSOD while playing battlefield 4 but sometimes i get BSOD while im on firefox. I have been looking for an answer but never got one. I think my drivers are up-to-date but im not really sure beacuse i'm not an expert of computers. My dump files can be found here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=B104A9FADF76B2%21178
This is a major problem so I would be pleased if someone could help me .
Both of the attached DMP files are of the PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (4e) bug check.
This indicates that the page frame number (PFN) list is corrupted.
This error is typically caused by a driver passing a bad memory descriptor list.
3: kd> k Child-SP RetAddr Call Site ffffd000`25f8cf88 fffff800`3dc78b3f nt!KeBugCheckEx ffffd000`25f8cf90 fffff800`3dad17c3 nt!MiBadShareCount+0x4b ffffd000`25f8cfd0 fffff800`3de79b9c nt!MmUnmapViewInSystemCache+0x9b3 ffffd000`25f8d2e0 00000000`00000000 nt!CcUnmapVacb+0x58
^^ nt!MiBadShareCount called into the bugcheck, and we have other memory related calls there as well. Looks like faulty RAM at first glance, so I'd like to go ahead and run Memtest first as opposed to checking for a driver causing corruption. I checked the modules list and there doesn't appear to be anything problematic that would lead to such memory corruption, aside from maybe an out of date Creative driver, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong about that.
Ensure your Creative driver is 100% up to date - http://support.creative.com/
-- AFAIK, Creative marks their latest drivers for Windows 8 as 'beta' and do not have an official version yet, at least for my sound card. Yours may be the same, just some food for thought. They are still okay to download and install if this is the case for you as well.
If you crash after the above, let's run Memtest for NO LESS than ~8 passes (several hours):
Download Memtest86+ here:
Which should I download?
You can either download the pre-compiled ISO that you would burn to a CD and then boot from the CD, or you can download the auto-installer for the USB key. What this will do is format your USB drive, make it a bootable device, and then install the necessary files. Both do the same job, it's just up to you which you choose, or which you have available (whether it's CD or USB).
Do note that some older generation motherboards do not support USB-based booting, therefore your only option is CD (or Floppy if you really wanted to).
How Memtest works:
Memtest86 writes a series of test patterns to most memory addresses, reads back the data written, and compares it for errors.
The default pass does 9 different tests, varying in access patterns and test data. A tenth test, bit fade, is selectable from the menu. It writes all memory with zeroes, then sleeps for 90 minutes before checking to see if bits have changed (perhaps because of refresh problems). This is repeated with all ones for a total time of 3 hours per pass.
Many chipsets can report RAM speeds and timings via SPD (Serial Presence Detect) or EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles), and some even support changing the expected memory speed. If the expected memory speed is overclocked, Memtest86 can test that memory performance is error-free with these faster settings.
Some hardware is able to report the "PAT status" (PAT: enabled or PAT: disabled). This is a reference to Intel Performance acceleration technology; there may be BIOS settings which affect this aspect of memory timing.
This information, if available to the program, can be displayed via a menu option.
Any other questions, they can most likely be answered by reading this great guide here:
