While even the best body shops can't undo an accident, our ratings reveal that many shops will get your car back on the road without a hitch. But our ratings also reveal that some shops may compound your misery with lousy work.
Since insurance companies pay for most repairs, for most auto body repair customers price is less important than quality. But for work paid for by the customer, price is an important consideration.
Choosing a good shop is an important step toward obtaining quality service, but certainly not the only one. How you deal with your shop and, when you're involved in accidents, with your insurer, are equally important.
In an age of self-piloting cars and computerized features, many things can still go wrong with your ride. That means drivers still rely on human mechanics. Our evaluations of hundreds of area shops will help you find great service and low prices.
Our price ratings of shops will help you find shops that charge fair prices. Don't assume using a low-cost shop means having to accept low-quality work: We found that top shops are more likely to offer low prices as lousy shops.
If your car is still covered under a new-car warranty, you'll want to use a dealership for repairs. But if your car is no longer under warranty, you're probably best off using an independent shop.

Voith to provide pushback coupler systems for 130 CALTRANS/IDOT railcarsWritten by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-Chief
"Our CEM technology is designed to limit damage to passenger railcars by the use of sacrificial energy absorbers, preventing derailment and car override (telescoping)," said Voith Turbo Rail Division Vice President Kevin Simms. "The systems we employ feature energy absorbers to reduce the force of the crash felt on the railcars by passengers. Tests have shown Voith's CEM system limits the g-force of the initial impact in the case of a collision."
Caltrans was the first passenger rail system to require CEM technology. The agency's coupler system specifications have been adopted by the PRIIA (Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act) 305 Next Generation Equipment Committee. PRIIA 305 standards are being used in specifications for many new railcar procurements across the U.S. Voith is an active member of this committee.
Voith manufactures its CEM systems in York, Pa. To date, Voith's orders for pushback couplers have been for new passenger railcars and locomotives. However, these couplers can be retrofitted to existing passenger railcars.
"Voith's CEM technology improves safety and reduces equipment damage for transit systems across the U.S.," said Simms. "As the Caltrans/IDOT order demonstrates, in just a few years, Voith's innovative and effective coupler design has become the industry benchmark. Expanding the use of CEM technology will not only save transit authorities money by limiting damage during crashes; more important, it will also enhance the safety of their passengers."
Since 2008, Voith has secured orders for nine different transit agencies across the U.S. and Canada.
On Nov. 6th, 2012, Caltrans awarded the contract for 130 higher-speed bilevel passenger railcars to be built by Nippon Sharyo and prime contractor Sumitomo Corporation of America (SCOA). The contract includes a base order of 130 railcars for $352 million along with an option to purchase an additional 300 railcars for $898 million, bringing the contract total to $1.25 billion.
Caltrans executed the contract as the lead agency in a joint procurement with IDOT, which is representing the states of Illinois, Michigan, and Missouri to develop higher-speed (up to 125 mph on existing rights-of-way) service. Of the 130 railcars, 42 will be delivered to California, while the coalition of midwestern states will receive 88. The first railcars are scheduled to be delivered in late 2015, with the final railcar to be delivered by early 2018. Funding for the railcars will come from grants originated in The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which provided for improvements in high speed intercity rail transportation as a way to stimulate economic activity. As a stipulation of the ARRA, the railcars covered in the award to Nippon Sharyo will be manufactured under a "100% Buy America" requirement. To aid in meeting this requirements, Nippon Sharyo Manufacturing, LLC was established as a new production facility in July of 2012 in Rochelle, Ill., to conduct material procurement, carbody manufacturing, final assembly, and testing.

Every now and then I read a blog post that melts my heart. I truly feel the pain, anguish and anger of the writer. I may not always agree with the writer's point of view, but I empathize with the writer's pain nonetheless.
Reading Peter Gleick's January 5 blog post here at Forbes.com, I experienced that empathy in full force. Gleick's global warming beliefs are misguided and unsupported by sound science, but I nevertheless empathize with his pain and frustration that few people seem to agree with him. A person of thinner skin than me might be offended by Gleick's frustration-induced rant, but I believe the best remedy is truth and understanding. Accordingly, I understand Gleick's pain and I will present some truths that might ease Gleick's anguish if he listens to them with an open heart and mind.
Gleick sets the tone for his blog post in the very first sentence, where he begins his column by stating, "The Earth's climate continued to change during 2011…." Here, in the first eight words of his column, Gleick unwittingly reveals one of the primary reasons why he is so wrong in his dire warnings of a human-induced global warming crisis. Gleick and his fellow global warming alarmists are the ultimate climate change deniers.
They present changing climate as unprecedented and unavoidably harmful. They act as if the climate never changed before now. In reality, however, the earth's long-term, mid-term and short-term climate history is defined by frequent and substantial climate change. Of course, as Gleick states, "The Earth's climate continued to change during 2011"! When was the last time the Earth's climate was not undergoing some change? Please, global warming alarmists, stop denying climate change!
Gleick finishes his opening sentence by asserting, "a year in which unprecedented combinations of extreme weather events killed people and damaged property around the world."
That is quite a bold, unsupported statement. Just what were those extreme weather events? Gleick doesn't say. Perhaps we can speculate.
It certainly wasn't hurricanes, as Ryan Maue at the Florida State University Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies documents that global and U.S. hurricane activity has been remarkably quiet for the past few years. During 2009, global accumulated tropical cyclone energy reached a record low, and has remained abnormally quiet in the two-plus years since.
It certainly wasn't tornadoes, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports 2011 continued a long-term trend in declining frequency of strong tornadoes. Yes, there were some strong tornadoes in 2011, but there are strong tornadoes every year. The only thing climatically remarkable about the 2011 tornado season is that the relatively few strong tornadoes that did occur happened to beat the odds and touch down more often in urban areas than is usually the case. Unless Gleick is arguing that global warming somehow causes hurricanes to wickedly target disproportionately urban areas, tornadoes like hurricanes are becoming less of a threat during recent decades as the planet has modestly warmed.
It certainly wasn't drought, as multiple peer reviewed studies report global soil moisture has consistently improved during the past century as the planet has warmed. (See, for example, this study.) Yes, some droughts are going to occur somewhere on the planet each year, as they always have, but cherry-picking one of the increasingly less frequent droughts that still do occur does not constitute evidence that global warming is causing more extreme weather events.
Perhaps Gleick can identify some alternative candidates to tornadoes, hurricanes and droughts by which global warming allegedly caused "unprecedented combinations of extreme weather events [that] killed people and damaged property around the world." But don't hold your breath.
Gleick, like so many of his alarmist colleagues, believes that anybody who disagrees with his scientific theories is "anti-science." Yet it is hard to imagine objective tornado data compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to be "anti-science." But Gleick apparently believes it so.
It is hard to imagine objective tropical cyclone data compiled by Florida State University Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies to be "anti-science," but Gleick apparently believes it so.
It is hard to imagine objective soil moisture data compiled by several independent teams of scientists to be "anti-science," but Gleick apparently believes it so.
The term "anti-science" most appropriately applies to those who refuse to consider competing evidence and scientific theories that raise doubts about their own theories. This term applies in spades to Gleick.
In the very same sentence that Gleick rants about people who disagree with him being anti-science, he accuses them of being financially bought off. Gleick asserts the people who disagree with him are part of a "concerted, well-funded, and aggressive anti-science campaign" [emphasis in the original] that is "focused on protecting narrow financial interests." That is a very curious accusation, considering that environmental activist groups like Gleick's Pacific Institute receive a great deal more funding than the free-market, sound-science groups that he claims are "well-funded" and overly concerned with the role of the federal government.
For example, Gleick twice directs his wrath at the Heartland Institute. The Heartland Institute does indeed receive approximately $7 million in annual funding (with relatively little coming from corporations and only a very small fraction coming from corporations having anything to do with the global warming debate). By contrast, the Natural Resources Defense Council receives close to $100 million in annual funding, Greenpeace receives close to $200 million in annual funding, the World Wildlife Fund receives approximately $600 million in annual funding, etc., etc., etc. Which groups, indeed, are the "well-funded" entities "focused on protecting narrow financial interests?"
Gleick continues his blog by venomously attacking by name people and groups with whom he disagrees on the science.
He begins by singling out everyone who is a candidate to lead the Republican Party. Whether one is a Republican, a Democrat or a member/sympathizer of any other political party should be irrelevant regarding scientific inquiry and truth, but prominent global warming alarmists such as Gleick seem obsessed with bringing political party affiliation into the discussion. Give us a break!
Curiously, Gleick claims some of these Republicans "intentionally distort science because it conflicts with deeply held political or religious ideology." Yet in the very same paragraph Gleick praises a prominent global warming alarmist who "happens to be an evangelical and speaks regularly to conservative groups." Well, which is it? Is it acceptable to view scientific issues through the prism of religious beliefs and political ideology or is it not appropriate? Gleick betrays his lack of objectivity and his agenda-driven worldview by imposing such a blatant double-standard on those who disagree with him.
Gleick follows up the imposition of his double-standard by writing about the evangelical alarmist, "She was also targeted by these activists for personal abuse – a tactic often pursued by climate deniers and contrarians." As is the case throughout his blog post, Gleick fails to present any facts to back up his assertion. Specifically which activists targeted her for personal abuse, and specifically what personal abuse occurred? Also, specifically who, how and when was this "tactic often pursued by climate deniers and contrarians"? Furthermore, assuming any such personal abuse indeed occurred, how is it any different from the personal abuse heaped upon skeptics? Gleick, not surprisingly, provides no such examples or explanations.
Gleick then writes three predictable paragraphs targeting those few members of the national media who are not in the back pocket of global warming alarmists and environmental activist groups. Heaven forbid even a few media personalities or media outlets present anything other than Gleick's side of the debate!
Gleick then pours his wrath out on scientists who oversee NASA satellite instruments showing little or no recent global warming. Gleick accuses the scientists, without presenting any facts or evidence to back it up, of presenting "misleading" testimony to Congress. He then says one of their papers "turned out to contain serious scientific errors according to experts working in this field." Gleick conveniently forgets to mention that the so-called "experts" he describes consist almost entirely of Gleick and his cabal of outspoken, agenda-driven global warming alarmists. Talk about "misleading" statements!
After this, Gleick singles out several more people and groups for his wrath. To be honest, I started falling asleep at this point, as the blog post was becoming exceptionally redundant and predictable. Suffice it to say that I feel Peter's pain and empathize with his anguish. At some point, however, one must either move on to more interesting topics or risk falling asleep in the midst of empathy.

Plan for Vanderbilt mansion in RI to go forward
NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — A proposal to build a welcome center on the grounds of The Breakers, a Gilded Age mansion once home to Cornelius Vanderbilt, cleared a critical hurdle on Monday.
In a 4-1 vote, members of Newport's Zoning Board of Review overturned an earlier decision that had found the project incompatible with local historic standards.
The Preservation Society of Newport County, which owns the national historic landmark, had been appealing an earlier decision by the city's Historic District Commission, arguing that numerous procedural errors had been made.
The zoning board agreed.
The $4.2 million project, which was unveiled last spring, had become the source of bitter feelings in this storied resort town.
"I think everything in Newport is complicated," said Trudy Coxe, executive director of the Preservation Society. "People are very resistant to change. But that's just Newport."
The nonprofit group says the building is necessary to offer the mansion's 400,000 annual visitors better restrooms, ticketing and snacks.
Opponents had argued the welcome center should be built across the street in a parking lot so the architectural heritage of the 13-acre estate is not irreparably damaged. The Preservation Society maintained that plan was not workable because it would take up too many parking spaces and be too far from the house.
The National Park Service in a letter last week expressed concerns that the plan constitutes a significant change that could damage the national historic landmark and asked the Preservation Society to reconsider. But on Monday, the park service retracted the letter. It said that while it had concerns about the project, it hopes to work in partnership with the group. It also clarified that it has no role in the local zoning process.
Coxe credited Rhode Island Democratic U.S. Sens. Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse, as well as U.S. Rep. David N. Cicilline, also a Democrat, for the letter's retraction.
"At some point down the road, this will all smooth out," added Donald O. Ross, the Preservation Society's board chair.

'If It Fits' brings eclectic mix of sculptures to Borland Gallery
'If It Fits' brings eclectic mix of sculptures to Borland Gallery
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- "If It Fits," an exhibition of the work of first-year M.F.A. students and B.F.A. sculpture majors enrolled in Advanced Sculpture, taught by Cristin Millett, Penn State associate professor of art and studio graduate program coordinator, will be on display Dec. 9 to 13 in the Borland Gallery. Gallery hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. A reception will be held at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10, in the gallery.
Advanced Sculpture is the final in a series of sculpture courses, which prepares students for professional careers as artists. The pieces exhibited are the final works created for the course, the results of a rigorous semester of hard work. Millett emphasized "the exhibition is unique because the projects are completely open without media requirements or conceptual parameters, allowing students to focus on and develop a personal direction."
The students participating in the show are first-year master of fine arts candidates David Cuatlacuatl, Charlie Cunningham, Farima Fooladi, Matthew Kenney, Evan West and Kelly Wilton; bachelor of fine arts sculpture majors Christine Bruening, Victoria Buchler, Olivia Calef, Ashley Eyster, Kelsey Hill, Chelsea Jones, Josh Keilholtz, Fenny Lai, Katherine Levkoff, Corey Magloire and Cydnei Mallory.
Some of the exhibiting artists shared thoughts on their work:
-- Olivia Calef, a senior B.F.A. candidate, uses Q-tip like structures to represent unhealthy figures joining as a collective body in order to gain structure and strength. Calef said, "I find the grouping of abstract objects allows the viewers to come to their own conclusions about the origin of the unknown species while keeping the interest open to everyone with common and touchable materials."
-- Josh Keilholtz, a junior B.F.A. candidate, came to Penn State debating whether to major in math, English or art. One ceramics course later and Keilholtz knew his direction. "My work explores my mysophobia and fear of the microscopic world around us every day," Keilholtz said. "By creating these growths and forms, I make the miniscule noticeable, and address the thoughts and intrusive ideas that enter my head on a daily basis."
-- M.F.A. candidate David Cuatlacuatl, from a small village in Mexico, was introduced to art when he moved to the United States and now works across mediums, including painting, drawing, writing, sculpturing and digital. "Ancient artwork from Mesoamerica and Africa fascinates me. The preservation and display of these works in museums speak of the works' contemporary importance," Cuatlacuatl said. "My art reflects on the archaeological and preservation processes of ancient art. At the same time, it presents contemporary insignia of an artist's studio and materials."
Since 2001, Millett has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in sculpture, foundry and installation at Penn State. Prior to coming to Penn State, she taught at the University of Maine for four years where she built the sculpture and foundry program. She has also taught courses in foundations and sculpture at Arizona State University, Mesa Community College and Phoenix College.

UN deputy chief urges action on water rights
(AP)—Most of the world's urgent problems boil down to water and sanitation, and global leaders must act to reduce child mortality and urban poverty, the UN's deputy chief said Friday.
There are 783 million people who lack access to clean or relatively safe water and 2.5 billion people, or 37 percent of the world's population, who don't have access to toilets, ," Jan Eliasson told reporters on the sidelines of a European Union-Latin America-Caribbean summit in Santiago.
"This is the main reason why more than 3,000 children under 5 years of age die every day from diarrhea, dysentery, dehydration and cholera," he said.
Eliasson said about 60 percent of the world's population will be living in cities in the next 8 years and he's increasingly worried about water issues related to urbanization as more poor people move to capitals with poor sanitation systems.
The career diplomat and former Swedish foreign minister pointed to examples such as shantytowns outside Nairobi, Kenya where 800,000 people are living without any sanitation system, or Korail, Bangladesh, where slum dwellers pay hundreds of times more per gallon of water from a trader than in developed nations.
"This will be a great challenge for Latin America, with the organization that you're seeing here also, to make sure you have time to catch up to this problem, which can otherwise lead to great health crisis," he said.
Population growth has led to conflicts over water, he said.
Major steps on water and sanitation would lead to a reduction of child mortality, improvement from maternal health and an overall reduction in poverty, Eliasson said. It would also help make gender relations more equal because women usually go after water and take care after sick children suffering from diarrhea and other illnesses.
Progress would also be reached on education as sick children often have to miss schooldays and parents are forced to take days off from their jobs to take care of them.
"If we do water and sanitation right, we can have a great improvement on other goals," Eliasson said. "That's the beauty of this, apart from taking care of a problem, which is undignified for us to have in today's world."

Mario is one of the most recognizable video game characters in the world, serving as the mascot of the video game company Nintendo. Mario is a plumber who usually goes on adventures saving Princess Peach. He has a brother named Luigi. Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto, and was originally a carpenter called Jumpman. Mario has appeared in over 100 games since 1981's Donkey Kong. Mario is an extremely recognizable character, and at one point was more recognizable than Mickey Mouse.
Mario is known for his famous red cap, blue overalls, and white gloves. He has a mustache and a rather large nose. Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Super Mario and numerous other Nintendo games, designed Mario that way in order to create a recognizable character for the 1981 arcade game, Donkey Kong. [1] In an interview, Miyamoto said that he thought that Mario was around 25 years old. [2]
In most games he can jump particularly high, can grow to become Super Mario by eating (touching) mushrooms, obtain the ability to throw fireballs by grabbing flowers or become temporarily invincible by grabbing stars. In various games, including Super Mario Bros. 3, he can also fly by obtaining special items that vary from game to game.
Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto as one of his attempts to create a best-selling video game for Nintendo. Mario began as "Jumpman" in the video game Donkey Kong in 1981. He then appeared in Donkey Kong Jr. ,as the villain and Mario Bros. in 1983, which began Mario and Luigi's portrayal as Italian-American plumbers. Since then, Mario has then appeared in many other games for Nintendo consoles and handhelds. The first Mario console game was Mario Bros for the Atari and other consoles, followed by Super Mario Bros. for the NES.
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong is an arcade game released by Nintendo that the protagonist, Mario, known at the time of release as Jumpman, must save Pauline from the primate antagonist Donkey Kong. The game repeats four stages that after the final stage is completed, the four stages repeat and get more challenging each time they are played and more points are earned.
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. (ESRB ratings: E) is one of the most well known video games in the industry. It is a platform game created by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System, first released in 1985. It features the intrepid Mario in his adventures through Mushroom Kingdom to save Princess Peach from Bowser's hands. It is the game that has sold the most copies worldwide and numerous ports, sequels and other merchandise has been made out of it.
It lacks any kind of realistic violence and can be enjoyed safely by the whole family.
The player controls Mario (or possibly Luigi in two-player mode) and must reach the goal in each side-scrolling level which is populated by numerous obstacles such as enemies, pitfalls and other hazzards. The player may obtain a red mushroom (increasing Mario's side and allowing him to be hit twice before losing a life), a fire flower (allowing Mario to throw bouncing fire balls to eliminate some enemies), a bouncing starcalled Starman (making Mario invisible and eliminating enemies he comes in contact with), a green mushroom (giving Mario an extra life) or coins (collecting 100 of these will grant Mario an extra life). Most enemies are defeated by jumping on them directly and by throwing fire balls or shells (obtained by jumping on Koopa Troopas, turtle-like enemies and Buzzy Beetles, a beetle-like equivalent) at them or The player travels through eight worlds, each consisting of four levels, the last one being a castle where an impersonation of Bowser dwells and must be defeated by reaching an axe and destroying the bridge he is standing on or by throwing enough fire balls at him, when he does, the player encounters a humanoid mushroom who tells him that the princess is in another castle (with the exception being the last one, where he finds the princess). The player may encounter warp pipes that allow him to skip levels or even whole worlds.
Super Mario Bros. was the first original Mario game for the NES (previous Mario games on the NES such as Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. were ports of pre-existing arcade games), and was bundled in with the NES in a cart with Duck Hunt. The game spawned numerous sequels including Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, which are regarded by many as two of the greatest games of all time. The game is generally regarded as the most innovative video game of all time.

Even if you don't have the financial capability to seek justice for the personal injuries that you have suffered due to the negligence of the other party, you can pursue a case against them by choosing to avail the No Win No Fee compensation. This agreement actually became popular since it was introduced in 2000 because this gives hope to those who can't afford to file for claims to pursue their case.
The term is self-explanatory. You seek the services of someone who deals with No Win No Fee compensation. You don't have to give them anything at the start of the process. If they will not win your case, you don't have to pay them anything at all. If they win the case, they will be paid a standard fee and the uplift fee by the Courts or the other party's insurers. Your only role is to give your lawyer exact details of what really happened and the evidences that you have gathered that you think will help you both win in the end. Most lawyers who handle such cases will do everything they can and work very hard because they won't get anything if they will lose the legal battle.
If you are facing this kind of situation, it will be best to hire the services of the right people. You will know more about it if you will conduct a brief research about the process and about the people who are known with these procedures. You can accomplish this task by browsing through various online resources. You may also want to get referrals and recommendations from people who have tried such route and have been successful with this kind of venture.
The main point here is that you must fight your case, especially if you have strong evidences that will help you win in the end. You must not lose hope and you must think about the long term effects of the accident before you ignore and decide to forget about what happened.

After Everton managed to recover from their inconsistent league form to beat Man City 2-1 in the Capital One Cup semi-final first leg earlier this month, everyone's talking about the prospect of an all-Merseyside final against rivals Liverpool. First, though, the Toffees have to travel to the Etihad Stadium on 27th January for what will likely be an extremely tough game. The attacking potential of both teams will make this a fascinating match for fans everywhere.
Man City have the best home record in the Premier League, but this is offset by their away record ranking at eighth position after 20 games.
During the Capital One Cup semi-final, Everton held 47% of possession, but managed to create seven shots on target compared to only four for City. The Toffees even had goals disallowed from John Stones and Romelu Lukaku before Ramiro Funes Mori at last gave Everton the lead just before halftime. City did pull a goal back through Jesús Navas at 76 minutes, but an on-form Lukaku restored Everton's advantage just two minutes later.
Man City have endured a difficult season without club captain, Vincent Kompany, who continues to miss games due to a calf injury. New signing Nicolás Otamendi has had some moments of greatness at centre-back, while 24-year-old Frenchman Eliaquim Mangala was subbed off for 35-year-old Martín Demichelis after 45 minutes on Saturday.
Everton's Premier League tally of 36 goals in 20 games ranked them third in the league for scoring, while their 29 goals conceded placed them joint-16th with Chelsea. Many of those goals can be attributed to the absence of experienced defender Phil Jagielka, who needs to rebuild his match fitness after recovering from a knee injury.
Last summer, manager Roberto Martínez signed Ramiro Funes Mori, who joined 21-year-old John Stones in central defence for much of the season. This partnership may eventually prove effective, though for now, Jagielka's experience will be needed if Everton are to overcome a City attack from talents such as Sergio Agüero, David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, and Yaya Touré.
Martínez can't afford for his side to sit back and invite any extra pressure, as Man City are not short of world-class attackers capable of scoring inside or outside the box. Everton will need to rely on their attacking strength, and ensure that striker Lukaku gets support.
Man City are justifiable favourites to win this season based on their home form to date. Man City to win at home is available at 1/2 with Paddy Power, which also foresees Everton as unlikely winners at 9/2, with a draw in 90 minutes at 10/3.
Cup competitions often throw up uncertain results, which is why backing the correct qualifier can be a wiser move than trying to pick a result in 90 minutes. Backing Man City to qualify for the final is available at the generous odds of 4/6, with Everton priced at 11/10.
City also appear to be the stronger option because of their away goal in the first leg. This goal means that City only need to win 1-0 to make the final; however, both teams share a strong attack with weakness at the back. So a defensive 1-0 encounter could be unlikely with each side eager to reach the final. Over 2.5 goals is available at 1/2 with Betfred Sports, while both teams to score is 8/13.

The first one is made in imported asian fabrics and cost me $200 in materials alone. The last one I made with bargain fabric and cost me $40 in materials.
So I get the price by multiplying what my cost of materials is times 2 (times 3 if it is an extremely difficult and time consuming quilt like the double wedding ring was).
Quilts take me at least 20 hours of work, so I am told all the time I don't charge enough, but it is a lot of fun for me. Especially when the quilt I make is loved.

Hi all! I have a question on how to calculate IC50 of drug treatment on cell survival.
For example, I did three independent experiments in 96--well plates using the MTT method. After putting the OD values into Prism one experiment at a time, I can get three different IC50s. From these I can get an averaged IC50. However, when you want to present the fitted survival curve, you can only choose one representative curve from the three, right?
In order to show a curve which will incorporate all data from the three independent experiments, I did the following and I want to know if this is acceptable. For experiment 1, drug concentration 1, I averaged the OD values from triplicate wells and normalized it to control (100% survival), and got say 10% survival. And I did the same thing for exp. 2 & 3, calculated their survivals at this drug concentration, say 11%, 12%. And similarly calculated survival for all the other drug concentrations. This way, the data input for Prism would be: Drug Conc. 1, 10%, 11%, 12%; (each is the average from one independent exp.) Drug Conc. 2: 20%, 21%, 22%, etc. etc.... Now Prism will only return one fitted curve and one IC50 value. Is this data manipulation acceptable? Thanks!! --Sara

Former R-C columnist Linda Monohan dies at home
Former Record-Courier columnist Linda Marie Monohan, who delighted readers for years with stories about her family and neighbors in Fish Springs, died Nov. 15 at her home. She was 70.
Linda was diagnosed with dementia 4-1/2 years ago which developed into Alzheimer's disease.
She was cared for at home by Norbert, her husband of 52 years, and her children and grandchildren.
"She died early Thursday with (daughters) Cindy, Christy and Lisa, and her sister Bonnie by her bedside," Norbert said.
Linda was born July 2, 1942, in Pacoima, Calif., to Eva and William Rosten.
She married Norbert on July 9, 1960, and became a "Navy wife" until September 1968.
She stayed home with her three daughters until they started school, and she worked as a school nurse for 10 years in Lakeside, Calif.
After the Monohans moved to Fish Springs, Linda worked as a secretary at Gardnerville Elementary School for 20 years and began writing for The Record-Courier.
She was an EMT/firefighter for the Fish Springs Volunteer Fire Department for 20 years.
"Her favorite hobby and pastime was writing a local column for The Record-Courier, the 'Fish Springs Flier,' and the Sierra Scoop, 'Behind the Sagebrush,'" Norbert said.
In her farewell column published in October 2009, Linda said she wrote 1,150 columns in 24 years for the "Fish Springs Flier."
She also wrote numerous articles published in motorcycle, fire, medical and travel magazines.
Linda also enjoyed country-western dancing, touring and camping by motorcycle, and visiting with family and friends.
Norbert said Linda had 62 first cousins, many of whom came to visit during her illness.
She was a member of St. Gall Catholic Community and attended 8 a.m. Mass every Sunday until the last few weeks of her life.
As incapacitated as Linda became, Norbert said the family vowed to continue to care for her at home.
"As good of care that she took of me, I could do no less for her," he said. "The last time she said my name, it was three months ago. We were sitting out on the deck, and she looked at me, and said, 'Norbert, darling, would you take me home, please?'"
He said he was struggling with her loss.
"Every time I would go someplace after I couldn't take her out anymore, people would ask me where she was. Last night, after she died, I was thinking I live in the biggest house in the world. It went from a reasonable size to way too large," he said. "When she died, Lisa was holding her hand."
In addition to her husband and daughters, Linda is survived by six grandchildren, a great-grandson, sisters Rosalyn Doyon and Bonnie Rieger, brothers Michael, Dan, and Tim Rosten, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service is 12 p.m. Dec. 8 at St. Gall.
Donations may be made in memory of Linda Monohan, the Alzheimer's Association of Northern Nevada, 1301 Cordone Ave., Suite 180, Reno, NV 89502.

Thumbs up, thumbs down
Thumbs up to Emmet County Volunteer Network members who met Monday to map out a strategy for providing volunteers to organizations who need them. So far, the Network has been locating organizations who need volunteers. The next phase will be to find volunteers to fill those positions. If you want to help make a difference in the quality of life for others in Emmet County, go online to www.volunteeremmetcounty.com. Or if you need volunteers to help your organization, you can contact the website as well.
Thumbs up to every who votes in our online poll at esthervillenews.net on whether the City of Estherville should loan money to Excel Estherville to restore the former Penney's building on South Sixth Street.
Thumbs down to anyone with computer access who doesn't vote on the online poll.
Thumbs up to the Friends of Fort Defiance and its president, John Wittneben, and vice president, Gary Phillips, elected Tuesday. Both Wittneben and Phillips have served previously as president, so the organization is in good hands.
Thumbs up to the Emmet County Izaak Walton League as it plans its annual gun show Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 1-2 at the Estherville Elks Lodge. This is an entertaining and informative event for gun enthusiasts and a great way to break the winter blahs. If you haven't attended one of the Ikes' gun shows yet, you should.
Thumbs up to winners of the Patriot's Pen essay contest who were recognized Wednesday night at the Estherville VFW Post 3388 Trophy Room. Winners included, first, Clayton Greig; second, Emily Herum; and third, Caroline Rembold. These young people are helping to keep alive the tradition of patriotism that has made America free.
Thumbs up to Dave Seylar, owner of Dave's Brownhouse Kitchens, on being named Business of the Year and Steve Danielson for being named Citizen of the Year at the annual Estherville Area Chamber of Commerce banquet at the Elks Lodge. A huge thumbs up also has to go to the Chamber Board of Directors and staff, executive director Lexie Ruter and assistant Susan Pytleski, for their unswerving devotion to promoting Estherville.
Thumbs down to the blustery winds and cold that wreaked havoc on our area last week. Let's hope spring comes soon.

Powwow: This year's powwow has been canceled.
Hozhoni Ambassador Pageant: The pageant has been postponed. We will have more details coming soon.
"Days of beauty." Its Navajo name is perfectly suited to Hozhoni Days -- a month of pageantry, speakers, powwowing, and celebration of cultures that is Fort Lewis College's longest-standing student-led tradition. And it honors what might be argued is really Fort Lewis College's oldest tradition: Native American education.
Each year, Hozhoni Days culminates in the Hozhoni Days Powwow, the campus's premiere spring event, at which all FLC students come together to celebrate the diversity FLC stands for. For two days, Whalen Gymnasium is filled with Native dancers, singers, and performers from around the nation. Also, at the Saturday night powwow, the new Ms. Hozhoni is crowned.
The Ms. Hozhoni Pageant is a three-day contest consisting of public speaking, traditional food presentations, and traditional and modern talent performances. The person holding the title of Ms. Hozhoni is recognized for the following year as the ambassador of Wanbli Ota and the Fort Lewis College Native community.
Hozhoni Days dates back to 1966, when the Shalako Indian Club, an early incarnation of today's Wanbli Ota, turned a small on-campus event into a full-blown celebration, and renamed the multi-day event "Hozhoni Days." The early Hozhoni Days consisted of three days that featured a banquet, powwow, and basketball tournament. Over the years, the Hozhoni Days powwow became a contest powwow and grew. Today competitive powwow performers come from all over the United States to drum, sing, and dance on the Skyhawks gym floor.
The title "Hozhoni Days" was bestowed on the event by Clyde Benally, known today as "the Father of Hozhoni Days." Benally was a freshman when he was asked by the deans of the college to help make the Shalako Club more active. His response was the creation of Hozhoni Days.
"It was to have the students work together so they get to know each other, and to share their Native culture, and to showcase it to the total student body on campus," says Benally, who graduated in 1968 with a degree in Humanities.
Benally chose the title "Hozhoni" because it is a Navajo term roughly meaning "beauty," although it also alludes to a deeper sense of harmony and balance. The word represented the goals of the event, he says. "It was the showing and sharing of our culture with each other, and a way of developing brotherhood and sisterhood with other students who may be from different cultures."
The Shalako Indian Club's named changed in 1970s to Wambidiota Club, eventually taking on its present moniker, Wanbli Ota -- meaning "many eagles" in the Lakota language -- in 1991. Wanbli Ota remains the prime sponsor of Hozhoni Days, but also puts on events including from public presentations, speakers and artists, workshops and cultural performances.

Did you mean Esme and Carlise made the decision to change her?Lieziewiezie wrote:I agree with what being said above.
I finished re-reading New Moon again last night and in the 'voting' chapter I once felt extremly sorry for Emmet. When Rosalie points out that 'she wished someone voted no for her'. I felt sorry for Emmet and Carlisle who took the decision to change her, and Esme who loves her as a mom. Rosalie declares that she would do anything to not be a vampire, even if that means she has to give up Emmet.
Maybe that's why Emmet is quit cool about Bella from the beginning, handles it to the others in a big bad joke? Because he's jealous of Edward and Bella? But in a totally different way that Rosalie is?
I think Emmet loves Rosalie above everything and I think Rosalie loves Emmet too, but only because he is a vampire and so is she. I don't think she would ever have loved Emmet when they were both humans, which might make their relationship more of a 'thinking one' then a 'feeling one', and maybe less pure, but not less real. If that makes sense.
Also I agree with alot you said, you made some good points. I have never thought too much in to how Emmett feels about Rosalie saying those things. He just seems to adore her anyway and always sides with her.

Something's afoot at TiVo, and it started today with five layoffs. Wired reporter Roberto Baldwin had the initial report, claiming that five layoffs from the company's hardware division left "a skeleton crew of two engineers," indicating an official exit from the hardware business. Baldwin's sources within TiVo may have been overstating the situation, though.
Subsequent reports feature comments from TiVo's Vice President of Corporate Communication Steve Wymer, where he emphatically denies that TiVo is abandoning hardware. What Wymer doesn't do, however, is deny the layoffs. An update to the original Wired piece indicates that TiVo will work with third-party designers for subsequent hardware.
TiVo hardware has been a saga of gradual iterations, with each successive generation adding features and capabilities. Ars' Nathan Mattise reviewed the company's latest hardware, the TiVo Roamio, and had heaps of praise—after he went through the hellish setup process. At CES this year, TiVo didn't have new consumer hardware, but instead met with network operators to discuss its new NDVR hardware, which moves the TiVo experience entirely to the cloud. Moving content recording, discovery, and delivery into the cloud has a lot of appeal for operators who want more control over viewers' content.
It is unclear, at this point, just what these layoffs really represent. The quick reaction by TiVo's PR machinery indicates that the claim that it's exiting hardware altogether was a bit bold. It's possible TiVo will be moving to a role not dissimilar to an ODM, where its customers are no longer end users but cable companies and other network partners. It could be that it'll simply be working with ODMs for hardware design, while focusing its efforts on improving the software and the service. For now, though, TiVo claims to be committed to the Roamio, its users, and its hardware.

Former minister Tim Yeo has lost his battle to be re-selected as the Tory candidate in South Suffolk.
Despite backing from Prime Minister David Cameron, Mr Yeo lost out in a secret ballot of 600 members of his constituency party after the association's executive committee voted not to re-adopt him for next year's general election.
In a statement, Mr Yeo said: "It has been a privilege to serve as MP for South Suffolk since 1983. I will continue to work for all my constituents until the general election next year.
"I am immensely grateful to all those Conservative Party members who voted for me to continue as their MP. I now ask them all to campaign for my successor with the same loyalty and dedication they have shown to me.
"I will give my full and unqualified support to whoever is chosen as the candidate here in South Suffolk. I wish him or her every success."
Party sources said there was an 82% turnout in the ballot, but refused to give details of the margin of defeat. The count - carried out at Tory HQ in London - came just days after another senior Tory colleague, Anne McIntosh, lost a similar de-selection fight in her Thirsk and Malton seat in North Yorkshire.
The South Suffolk executive declined to re-adopt Mr Yeo in December just a month after the Commons sleaze watchdog cleared him of breaking parliamentary rules on lobbying.
The MP had temporarily stood aside as chairman of the influential Energy and Climate Change Committee while the investigation was carried out in the wake of a newspaper "sting".
Reports have suggested his de-selection reflected frustration among some members that he was not devoting enough time to the constituency rather than concerns over the standards inquiry.
In a letter to Mr Yeo last month, Mr Cameron said it would be a "great loss" if he was not re-selected.
"You have served your constituency of South Suffolk for over three decades - a record of which you can be enormously proud," the premier wrote.
"I very much hope that you will be selected to stand as the Conservative representative in this seat again, so that you can fight to continue representing your constituents in the next parliament as you always have done in the past, with tenacity and commitment.
"Your considerable expertise in rural issues and the environment has been of real benefit to our party and our country.
"You have always provided a strong voice for the people of South Suffolk and it would be a great loss to your constituents, to parliament, and to the Conservative Party if the South Suffolk Conservative Association did not re-select you so that you can continue providing that steadfast representation."
Mr Yeo said his support for gay marriage, climate change work and pro-EU stance might have been responsible for his downfall.
He told BBC Radio 4's PM programme: "Clearly there were some issues on which I have may have had disagreements with them.
"I voted in favour of gay marriage, that wasn't a universally held view among my members; I have a very great commitment to addressing climate change, that's not a universally held view; I'm in favour of Britain's membership of the EU, that's not a universally held view either."
He denied suggestions that he had been too low profile, telling the programme his work was backed by the PM, Chancellor George Osborne and Education Secretary Michael Gove.
"I had a lot of people who recognised that, far from being invisible in Parliament, I have actually been one of the most influential chairs of a select committee during this Parliament," he said.
"It was a knife-edge vote," he added.
