Sparks fly over Israel during Connecticut Democrats' U.S. Senate debate
WEST HARTFORD -- It was a new tone and a new day in the race for the U.S. Senate race among Democrats, when Lee Whitnum called one of the contenders "a whore" in his support for Israel and another "ignorant."
Whitnum, who was not invited by the organizers of the last debate in early March, was condemned afterwards by her colleagues and by U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, D-5, the subject of her "whore" comment, during the debate when he had a chance to react to her criticism.
Whitnum, acknowledged she may have crossed the line, saying she "wasn't really thrilled" with her performance, according to the Associated Press.
"I'm dealing with a whore here who sells his soul to AIPAC (The American Israel Public Affairs Committee), who will say anything for the job," she said of Murphy's support for Israel. She referred to state Rep. William Tong, D-Stamford, another candidate as "ignorant."
Earlier in the debate she said she would bring more federal dollars back to Connecticut by advocating that the U.S. stop its support for Israel which she estimated, if ended, could mean $600 million for Connecticut to fix its schools and bridges. Whitnum said she is suing the federal government over this. She also sued to be part of the last debate, but was turned down by the court.
"The Jewish community has always taken care of its own. There isn't any reason why Connecticut children and Connecticut people have to pay the price for a country that is not impoverished," Whitnum said.
Murphy said now more than ever Israel needs support from the United States.
"This is in our national security interest, ultimately in the interest of U.S. taxpayers to have a strong relationship with Israel and I think it is worth saying on this stage that a lot of her comments have been out of bounds and over the line," said Murphy, who along with Susan Bysiewicz are the leading contenders for the party's nomination, according to the recent polls.
Whitnum proposed that the U.S. prosecute American settlers who "go to Israel and maim or kill in the Proimised Land." She said
this "would solve anti-American sentiments worldwide. This is the number one reason why people hate this country."
As part of his final comments Murphy said he was rethinking his support for all the contenders to be part of the debates that are just starting to unfold for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, I-Conn.
"I'd advocated for all the candidates to be a part of these debates and I might think twice about that with that kind of awful language being used on the airwaves," Murphy said of the live debate sponsored by NBC Connecticut.
Marc Bradley, campaign manager for Tong, afterwards said there was no place for these personal attacks in the race and he called the slur she used against Murphy "despicable."
Most of the discussion in the debate was about issues closer to home, including a question on whether a ruling by the Supreme Court throwing out health care reform would amount to judicial activism.
The high court heard three days of arguments on the Accountable Care Act last week on a policy that is at the center of President Barack Obama's first term agenda.
Bysiewicz agreed with Obama's criticism of judcial activism and said she would fight to get health reform reinstated if it is thrown out by the court. The former secretary of the state in Connecticut, Bysiewicz said health care was a right with many Americans one diagnosis away from being bankrupted by medical costs.
Matthew Oakes, another lesser known candidate like Whitnum, said he wasn't sure about whether a negative vote amounted to activism, but said right now everyone is paying for those who don't have insurance.
Whitnum said the high court was already guilty of "misconduct" in the decision to put George W. Bush in the White House over Al Gore. She said the reform is close to Switzerland's and it worked successfully there.
Tong backed the president, who was Tong's constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago. "These judges on the Supreme Court right now ... are taking a very aggressive position it seems with our Constitution .. the people spoke through the passage of the Affordable Care Act and it would be an extraordinary act for the court to overturn that decision."
Murphy, who has long lead the fight for health care changes in the state and while in Congress, agreed with his colleagues. "This would be an outrageous example of judicial activism," he said.
The candidates also talked about high oil prices, with Whitnum characterizing it as a matter of supply and demand that needs to be met with more renewable alternatives.
Tong felt the Justice Department should get involved in challenging this and said he took on big oil already in Connecticut over zone pricings.
Murphy said much of it can be attributed to excessive commodity speculation that accounts for upwards of 40 percent of the price of gasoline. He said this would be helped if regulators put into effect changes already adopted by Congress. Murphy said worldwide the oil supply is at a 3-year high and demand at a 15-year low, so this is not the issue.
Bysiewicz promoted her plan for clean renewable energy contracts which she said would reduce the demand for oil from foreign countries that is costing us $1 billion a day and promote more than 1 million new jobs.
There was not a lot of disagreement around the Keystone XL Pipeline as an environmental hazard or the need for cheap loans to help students pay for college, although Whitnum said not everyone needs to go to college. She advised them to take some courses online and get their first two years at a community college as cheaper alternatives that give parents a break.

No. Arizona apportioned registered vehicles are exempt from Arizona emission testing requirements.
Each year you will receive a renewal notice with a list of all vehicles that are currently registered in your apportioned fleet.
Options available for payment are as follows:
Yes, there is a $5 fee charged for replacement of an apportioned plate or cab card (plus a postage fee).
All vehicles must have valid registration to operate on the highways of the Arizona. If you are eligible for IRP registration, but do not wish to obtain this type of interstate registration, you have the option of applying for full Arizona base plate registration and then stopping at each state's port of entry to purchase single trip permits as you travel through various states.
The Arizona fees include registration fee, vehicle license tax, commercial registration fee, weight fee, motor carrier fee, use fee and air quality diesel fee. In addition to these fees, you also pay the applicable registration fees due for each member jurisdiction in which you choose to travel.
If travel outside of Arizona prior to your IRP registration application being completed, you must purchase single trip permits for the states you wish to enter.
If you are not currently registered in Arizona, you can purchase single trip permits, which allow you to travel lawfully through Arizona. These permits are available at Arizona ports of entry or MVD Commercial Permits.
Keep in mind that you will be required to contact each state's permitting office or a permitting service agency to secure permits from each state you will enter.
Yes. If you travel in a jurisdiction without valid registration credentials or a single trip permit, you will be subject to a penalty, fines and citations, depending on each state's laws.
Check the Arizona Apportioned Registration Manual for all documents you are required to maintain. Also, read your Record Keeping Agreement and Individual Vehicle Mileage Report to review the type of information you will be required to provide.
These changes can be accomplished by completing and submitting an Apportioned Registration Application.
To increase the registered gross vehicle weight (GVW) during the registration year, complete and submit an Apportioned Registration Application.
A decrease in the GVW can only be done at time of renewal, using the same form, or by indicating the decrease on the IRP Registration Renewal form.
No. Trailers and semitrailers do not require apportioned registration. However, trailers and semitrailers do require current registration from any state, to operate on Arizona highways.
If you choose to register in Arizona, visit any MVD or authorized third-party office office to register your trailer permanently.
You will no longer be required to report mileage if you are applying for a new IRP account. Registrants will pay fees for all jurisdictions based on the base jurisdiction's average per-vehicle distance in each jurisdiction. The system will automatically calculate based on the average per vehicle distance chart for each Jurisdiction and add all Participating Jurisdictions to your registration, which will allow you to travel in all Jurisdictions as needed.
You will only report actual mileage for the Jurisdictions that you accrued miles for during the requested reporting period.

Iphone integration
Iphone integration
Do you have the car?
Currently the only way you can play music from your iPhone is through Bluetooth. There are 2 USB ports located in the center console below the arm rests, but no Audio connector. You can use these USB ports to charge your iPhone. Once you sync your iPhone with the car (via Bluetooth), you can play music (that you select with the phone). You can skip forward and backwards using the onscreen controls and the steering wheel. The car does not automatically start playing your music when you get in. You have to select that from the main screen. You may be able to select that from the steering wheel (I don't remember).
The USB port will read a USB flash drive and allow you more control of your music, although currently it does not allow you to shuffle songs, but you can select things such as songs by Name, Artists, Albums, Genres, etc. I decided to put all my music on a 128GB USB drive. I just copied the iTunes music folder onto the drive. It's allot easier than trying to fiddle with the phone. If you want, you can use Bluetooth and Siri to request what music you want played on your iPhone.
I'm sure some of the audio/phone integration features will improve and change with future software updates as Tesla gets customer feedback — they have already provided several updates.
Agree with all of what Alex K said + shows album art work on dash.
When making a call, MS uses the iPhone's contact list. Only sorts contact list Last name First.
Forgot to mention... The MS can use the addresses info in your iPhone contact list to set a NAV destination.
Overall I've been very impressed with how the MS integrates with my iPhone.
Ditto @dtesla,
I've been quite impressed with the Iphone integration. It seems to work fairly intuitively. Now I want the Iphone App to communicate to my car remotely!
People - does anyone know when the Model S app for iPhone is coming, or if it's here, how to download it? Thanks!
Yesterday I was told "in the coming days". I can't share who at Tesla shared that info, but it's good info. Of course "coming days" could be next month...
The Android app is done, and all the work on the servers and car is done, so the app itself is pretty simple. Getting something approved by Apple is a much more involved process, plus there might be an issue with getting something approved which is "beta".
We picked up our MS yesterday at the factory and was told by our delivery specialist that the iPhone app was to be released "within the next few days". BTW the car is phenomenal!
Alex K - thanks, best instructive description yet. I have been testing the USB ports with a few albums from my iTunes and it works great. I still need a large capacity thumb drive for all my iTunes music, but have been too busy with work to get this done. However, I sure hope that at some point we will be able to use our Playlists, too, which is not available today.
@Velo1 | FEBRUARY 3, 2013: I still need a large capacity thumb drive for all my iTunes music
I'm using this $85 Sandisk 128GB drive from Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007YX9OGW/
For what it's worth, with my iPhone 5 Spotify sounds much better than the iPod app when playing songs over Bluetooth. Spotify seems to pre-amplify music so it matches the audio level of other input sources in the car. With the iPod app I have to turn the car volume way up above normal settings.
iPhone 5 uses the new Bluetooth (low power higher bandwidth) spec. That must be why the improvement in quality. That's a good sign that MS also adopted the newer hardware spec
If you look on the spec information on the website it says that the upgraded audio/stereo system will hold 1000 songs. I can't figure out how to upload any songs to the audio system, only if I store them on a USB drive and plug it in. Is there any way to store the songs directly to the audio system, like it says on the spec info on the Tesla Motors website?
@LarryN the internal storage has not been enabled yet. Presumably, that will come with a future software update.
Guys! You are in the wrong thread
I just got a new 128GB USB and the car will not recognize it no matter what i put on it. files, straight mp3's etc. any idea what format or brand you used? CJ Orinda
Make sure it's seated properly - mine took several tries. I think the plastic around the USB ports can prevent some sticks from making full contact.
I got the 128 GB stick, too - slow to copy, but fit almost 80 GB of music - perfect!
Is the access time on the sandisk 128Gb flash mentioned above ever a problem i.e. slow menu scrolling, song selection, etc. A few reviews on Amazon report it's the slowest drive a few have ever seen. Thanks
@Robert22 | FEBRUARY 15, 2013: Is the access time on the sandisk 128Gb flash mentioned above ever a problem i.e. slow menu scrolling, song selection, etc.
I haven't noticed any speed issue. It does take a while (1-2 minutes) when you first plug it in to scan the music, but it seems to remember everything and this appears to only happen once if you leave it plugged in.
Excellent, thank you. No need then to waste $ on a faster Patriot device.
Anyone know if the drive is physically compatible with Soflauthor's imminent CCI?
Compatible with FAT32, but not FAT16 or NTFS, some found. See Dec 19, Mark E comment, here: http://www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/anyone-load-music-car

text: Tuesday, May 10, 2011 RTI Seeks Practices to Participate in Alternative Payment Project The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)-sponsored Developing Outpatient Therapy Payment Alternatives (DOTPA) project is under way. Research Triangle Institute (RTI), which was selected by CMS to conduct the DOTPA project, is recruiting practices for participation. The goal of the project is to develop alternatives to the current payment system that places caps on annual Medicare therapy payments. Over the past 2 years, RTI developed assessment instruments to collect data on clinical characteristics, including measures of functional status not otherwise available from claims, for Medicare Part B outpatient therapy patients. The assessment instruments can be viewed on the DOTPA project Web site. RTI plans to collect data on approximately 30,000 patients from 190 therapy providers representing all therapy disciplines and all types of treatment settings. Each participating provider will be asked to collect data on 150 patients over a 6-month period. The data collected will include patient assessments at admission and discharge for Medicare Part B beneficiaries. The assessment includes patient- and clinician-reported items. To reduce the administrative burden of data collection, participating providers may defer requests for documentation related to Medicare Administrative Contractor and Recovery Audit Contractor reviews during the DOTPA data collection period. RTI has begun to send informational mailings to a statistical sample of practices, inviting providers to participate in the project. RTI also welcomes inquiries from practices that are interested in finding out whether they are eligible to participate. Contact Brieanne Lyda-McDonald, DOTPA project manager, at 919/541-6695 or email@example.com to schedule a time to discuss the project. You also can visit the project Web site to find out more.

Hotels in Rome
Tourism in Rome
Expecting all the wonders of Rome to fit into this small space would be a crime but it would be appropriate to mention some of the more essential places one should try to see in Rome, such as Piazza Navona, where you will find Berninis Fontana dei Fuimi and the Fontana del Moro, along with la Fontana del Nettuno of Giacomo della Porta and Saint Agness Church in Agone, Borrominis Baroque piece. Near the square of la Rotonda, one is within walking distance of the Pantheon. Built by Hadrian, one of the five good emperors, between the years 119 and 128, it contains a beautiful dome that houses the tomb of Rafael. Near Via del Corso is Romes most famous and majestic fountain, la Fontana de Trevi with Neptunes statue in the centre of it.
Another interesting thing to do is to admire the view of the rooftops of Rome from the stairs of Piazza di Spagna and sit down there, like the rest of the Romans do, to chat or contemplate Berninis boat-shaped fountain.
Then cross the Tiber over the SantAngelo Bridge and enjoy the view of the Vatican hiding beyond the river together with SantAngelos Castle. The castle was built in the year 130 and has been since used as a mausoleum, fortress, prison, papal residence and is now the National Museum of the Castle. Nearby is the Vatican City with the impressive St. Peters square behind it and its perfectly synchronised columns, with the majestic Basilica of St.Peter that rises up with its famous dome and Michaelangelos La Piedad. In the palace of the Vatican lies the Sixtine Chapel, with Michaelangelos grandiose fresco representing Genesis plastered on the roof.
As a true example of Ancient Rome, there is no better place than the gigantic Coliseum, the Empires largest amphitheatre with a capacity for 50,000 people, where gladiators fought. The Coliseum has four floors and 80 arches separated by Ionic Doric and Corinthian columns on the first three floors and an undergound maze.

Economy has many courses in deep rough
Northern Nevada Business Weekly
Golf courses in Greater Reno-Tahoe are becoming as well known for their red ink as their green grass.
Equity on privately owned golf courses has evaporated as real estate values have plummeted. In some cases, the water rights linked to a golf course are worth far more than the golf operation.
Courses across the region have struggled to remain solvent, and several have closed, victims of dwindling revenues attributed to reduced play, declining memberships and rising operating costs.
However, in an area saturated with golfing options, the courses remaining are in better position to draw from the region's small but rabid golf community – and investors interested in the golf business can purchase courses for a fraction of historical prices.
The most notable closure in the region was D'Andrea Golf Course in east Sparks, which folded in March. Once-lush fairways and greens now stand browner than the surrounding hillsides, and dog-walkers, jackrabbits and the occasional 4×4 pickup are all that's cruising the fairways today. Other closures include Northgate in northwest Reno. The Resort course at Genoa will close if a buyer isn't found by the end of September.
Additionally, Empire Ranch Golf Course in Carson City is reorganizing under a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in Reno.
Mario Antoci, owner of Genoa Lakes Golf Resort, which features two of the region's most pristine golf courses nestled in the shadows of the Sierra Nevada, has been trying to sell both 18-hole courses on more than 450 acres for several years.
Antoci, president of MDA Enterprises Inc., purchased the Lakes course for $7.5 million in October 2000 and invested $15 million more building a clubhouse, cart barn and other infrastructure. In March 2005, Antoci added the Resort course for an additional $5.5 million and invested $1 million in the course.
The Resort course will close Sept. 30 if a sale doesn't go through, Antoci says, although he said he expects to line up a buyer in the next few weeks.
Purchase of the Genoa Resort course included roughly 660 acre-feet of water rights, which in today's market is a more valuable asset than the course itself, Antoci says. The Genoa Lakes course has rights for more than 500 acre-feet of water from wells and the Carson River, but Antoci says that course should remain open because its revenues are covering expenditures.
All told, Antoci says, he's sunk more than $29 million into the two courses.
"The value of golf courses today is rock bottom. You cannot build a course for what they are selling for today. I am trying to sell both, but if I can't sell the Resort course, it will close, and when the time is right I will sell the water rights to someone else."
Like D'Andrea, much of the land surrounding the Genoa Resort course is home to modest semi-custom homes and luxury homes. The two housing developments at the Genoa Resort course encompass nearly 160 homes, though it was zoned for 395 home sites. Homeowners in Genoa who have enjoyed wide swaths of beautifully manicured green grass in their extended backyards now face the unpleasant possibility of fields of dry, dead grass much like homeowners at D'Andrea.
Jeff Woolson, managing director of CBRE's golf and resort properties group in Carlsbad, Calif., brokered the sale of D'Andrea to Synergy Golf Course Management in August 2004 for $5.4 million. The course once again is up for sale.
Woolson says that in his 22 years of experience, he's never seen golf courses sell so low – roughly 20 percent to 50 percent of their former value.
"We used to sell stand-alone golf courses for $4 million to $8 million – that was our bread and butter. Now they are selling for $2 million to $3 million or less," he says.
What's behind the plummeting values? The golf industry was hit by a perfect storm, Woolson says. As the recession deepened, cash for greens fees and pricey memberships to exclusive golf resorts was among the first thing cut from household budgets.
Second, land zoned for residential use surrounding golf courses was way overbuilt, and the correction in the housing market cleared out hordes of homeowners, many of whom were an integral part of a golf resort's revenue base.
Lastly, Woolson says, there's little to no financing available for investors to step in and purchase struggling golf courses such as D'Andrea.
"That was the final nail in the coffin for the golf industry," he says. "Up to September of 2008, there were many large lenders you could go to who would give you debt on a golf property, and you also had a whole slew of little banks that had financing. All that is gone. When you combine it with people playing less and properties that got way to overbuilt, you have a lot of (golf) properties on market with little or no cash flow. If something is losing money, you have to shut it down."
The solution for some courses, such as ArrowCreek in southwest Reno, has been to transition from a private members-only facility to a semi-public resort to increase revenues. After several years of financial difficulty, ArrowCreek began offering tee times to the public as well as hosting outside tournaments, which has helped offset operating costs, says General Manager Drew Yardley.
Yardley also says management took a hard look at its membership pricing structure and now offers membership comparable to other courses in the region.
"ArrowCreek prided itself on being elitist and having a membership at higher level," Yardley acknowledges. "But we realized we needed to be competitive. The economy was struggling, and we needed to basically match or beat any club in Reno.
"The long-term vision of ArrowCreek always has been to ride out any possible storm," Yardley adds. "No one foresaw this economic storm. But we have a good membership group, and we have two good courses and are able to offset revenues with tournament play."
So is a golf course still a good business model? Genoa's Antoci says at today's prices, investors can make purchases work financially. Woolson says golf is still a viable business – and total rounds played in the state in June were down just 2 percent from 2011, says PGA PerformanceTrak.
Like the housing market, Woolson says, the golf industry is in the midst of a sweeping reset of values.
"I think people got confused with golf courses, thinking that they are real estate," he says. "They are business opportunities that use a big chunk of real estate. They are deed-restricted on what you can do. If it's not going to be a golf course, it's going to be closed down."

STARKE, Fla. — A group of atheists unveiled a monument to their nonbelief in God on Saturday to sit alongside a granite slab that lists the Ten Commandments in front of the Bradford County courthouse.
As a small group of protesters blasted Christian country music and waved "Honk for Jesus" signs, the atheists celebrated what they believe is the first atheist monument allowed on government property in the United States.
"When you look at this monument, the first thing you will notice is that it has a function . . . we selected to place this monument in the form of a bench," said David Silverman, president of American Atheists.
It also serves another function: a counter to the religious monument that the New Jersey-based group wanted removed. It's a case of if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
American Atheists sued to try to have the stone slab with the Ten Commandments removed from the courthouse lawn in this rural, conservative town in northern Florida. The Community Men's Fellowship erected the monument in what is described as a free-speech zone. During mediation on the case, the atheist group was told that it could have its own monument, too.
"We're not going to let them do it without a counterpoint," Silverman said. "If we do . . . it's going to appear very strongly that the government actually endorses one religion over another, or — I should say — religion in general over non-religion."
About 200 people attended the unveiling. Most were supportive, although there were protesters, including a group from the Florida League of the South that had signs that said, "Yankees Go Home."
"We reject outsiders coming to Florida . . . and trying to remake us in their own image," said Michael Tubbs, state chairman of the Florida League of the South. "We do feel like it's a stick in the eye to the Christian people of Florida to have these outsiders come down here with their money and their leadership and promote their outside values here."
After the 1,500-pound granite bench was unveiled, people rushed to have their pictures taken on it. The bench bears quotes from Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Madalyn Murray O'Hair, the founder of American Atheists. It also has a list of Old Testament punishments for violating the Ten Commandments, including death and stoning.
At one point, Eric Hovind, 35, of Pensacola, Fla., jumped atop the peak of the monument and shouted his thanks to the atheists for giving him a platform to declare that Jesus is real. Atheists shouted at him, and he stepped down after about a minute.
Hovind and Tubbs did say that they respect the right of the group to install the monument, even if they disagree with the message behind it.
And the atheists said they expected protesters.
"There always are," said Rick Wingrove, director of a Washington, D.C., area office of American Atheists. "We protest their events, they protests our events. As long as everybody's cordial and let people speak. This is our day, not theirs. We're fine with them being here."

The Tzaddik and The Thief
It was late at night when the famous Jerusalem tzaddik Rabbi Aryeh Levin heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door he heard from two men standing there that a thief was right now in the process of stealing the contents of a store in the Machane Yehuda Market. Since they themselves were afraid of starting up with such an outlaw, they came to enlist the aid of Rabbi Levin.
This great man, who was renowned for his ability to influence people in a gentle manner, quickly got dressed and rushed to the scene of the crime. When he arrived he saw that the thief had already succeeded in completely removing everything from the store's shelves and was preparing to take it all away.
"How dare you steal," the rabbi challenged the thief, "when the Torah prohibits doing so!"
The thief was so moved by the combination of gentleness and force in which this was said that he asked the rabbi what he should do now with all the goods he had removed from the store. The answer was that he must return them to the shelves and that the rabbi would help him do so. When their work was completed Rabbi Levin made a special mi sheberach prayer for the thief who had so gallantly fulfilled the Torah command to return stolen property.

Under the right combination of snow, wind, temperature, and moisture, snow rollers can form. They form when strong, but not too strong, winds blow light and sticky snow into a roll to create large, cylindrical, and usually hollow snowballs. When strong wind is not present, gravity has been known to help snow rollers form on a hill. These have also been called snow bales as they can look like snowy bales of hay.

How many hours a day do you sit at your job? How much healthier would you be if you could stand, or walk while you work? A new study says you could live longer. The British Medical Journal's BMJ Open has published research that finds sitting for more than three hours a day can trim your life expectancy by two years, even if you are active and don't smoke.
Msnbc.com reports the study "adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that sitting itself is deadly."
The research "elevates sedentary behavior as an important risk factor, similar to smoking and obesity," said (study researcher Peter) Katzmarzyk (of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La.)
Other studies have found our culture of sitting may be responsible for about 173,000 cases of cancer each year.
Because U.S. adults spend, on average, between 4.5 and five hours a day sitting down, a significant shift in the population's behavior would be needed to have an effect on life expectancy, Katzmarzyk said. This might be achieved through changes at the workplace, such as the use of standing desks, and by watching less TV, he said.
Katzmarzyk tells the Wall Street Journal that we should just stand as much as we can for our health.
However, Dr. Katzmarzyk added, standing shouldn't be an alternative to exercising, but an alternative to sitting. "Several studies show that when you're sitting, your leg muscles are completely inactive," he said. "When you're sitting and completely inactive, this is when you run into trouble managing blood glucose."
And moving while your standing can only improve the health benefits, right? So there's a whole movement into treadmill desks, according to NPR.org. They talked to Tom Johnson of a Virginia real estate company, who was considering installing treadmill desks at the office.
So he bought a Steelcase Walkstation, developed by Dr. James Levine, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic and the original advocate of walking while working. Levine's research has shown that walking on a treadmill desk at just 1 mph will burn an additional 100 to 150 calories an hour.
Now Johnson is on the treadmill most of the day walking at 1.2 mph. "That's what's comfortable to me to email or phone; it's much slower than I would normally walk," Johnson says.

You went to The States? Dan Sinnes: Yeah, but I still stayed in Luxembourg a lot. Because I still had a girlfriend at the time, and two dogs. But when I had the opportunity to do guest spots, I'd do it. After I had my break-up and I was by myself, I put it to the max and I went to the United States and traveled as much as I could, alone. I went to New York, went to Portland, went to Washington DC and went to San Francisco and I met a lot of amazing people. For me, I'm not a guy who wants to start his own shop. I want to go around and see everything. So for two years, when I was single—it was like not having an anchor on my leg—so I started really, really traveling and I went to the United States and after the United States I came back to Luxembourg then I went to Germany and Belgium. I worked with some good friends and I saw that all this traveling was good for me because I met a lot of tattooers and I have gotten to meet a lot of old-timers. I learned so much about the history of tattooing that I never knew before because I was in Luxembourg and I was working maybe too much in one spot. For example, you were talking about old-timers, who did you meet? Like, not really old-timers, but a lot of tattooers that I had only seen in magazines. At conventions I had the opportunity to meet people like Henning Jorgensen, or like… (From the full article as seen in Tattoo Artist Magazine #24) Dan Sinnes can be found at: http://www.dansinnestattoo.com/ Luxembourg

Marilyn Acosta, a Boeing employee from Los Angeles, has a message for President Bush: "If he wants to listen in to my calls, it's OK. I'm all for it."
Not so fast, says Rosey Bystrak, who works for an architectural firm in San Diego. "Bush thinks he's a king and not a president, so it doesn't surprise me," she says, referring to the recent revelation that after 9/11, the president authorized the interception of communications between the US and other countries without a judge's approval.
These two women, speaking to a reporter in San Diego's Balboa Park, encompass the range of views on the issue and reflect the nearly even divide in public opinion found in the first survey that directly addresses the controversial program. The online Zogby Interactive poll, taken Dec. 20-21, found that nearly half of likely voters, 49 percent, say Bush has the constitutional powers to approve such a plan, while 45 percent say he does not.
The inclusion of the president in the question appears key, says John Zogby, the pollster. When Bush becomes part of the equation in polling, political polarization comes to the fore. "Since the president is at the core of the issue, we felt it legitimated the question by putting his name in there," Mr. Zogby says. In fact, he believes the Dec. 16 revelation of the National Security Agency (NSA) eavesdropping program contributed to Bush's bounce in the polls this month, particularly by bringing some wayward Republicans back to his side.
"When you put the president and 9/11 and the war on terror together with NSA eavesdropping, you get great support among Republicans," he says. "It has become a wedge issue."
By other measures, American concerns about the proper balancing of civil liberties with national security have increased since the early post-9/11 period. Gallup, which regularly polls on civil liberties, found four months after the terror attacks that nearly half of Americans believed it was OK to violate basic civil liberties in the name of battling terrorism. But by September 2002, the numbers had shifted to where they are today. By a 2-to-1 margin, Americans believe the government should take steps to prevent terrorism, but not at the expense of civil liberties.
"It could reflect the return of people's traditional skepticism of federal power," says Karlyn Bowman, an expert on polling at the American Enterprise Institute, who says other surveys show the same trend. "Or perhaps as memories of 9/11 recede, they could just be thinking the government is going too far."
The debate over the future of the antiterror Patriot Act also reflects growing unease on the part of some Americans - including senators, both Republican and Democrat - over how individual rights are handled during wartime. When Congress reconvenes in January, both issues will return to the foreground. But it is the newly revealed eavesdropping program that has captured more public attention of late. The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to have hearings as soon as it finishes Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Samuel Alito.
Americans, meanwhile, are sorting through the eavesdropping question. Back at Balboa Park in San Diego, physician Franco Spano says he's having trouble figuring out where the truth really lies. "You hear the sound bites from both sides, but you need an objective source to really comment on it." Still, he says, "I'm suspicious," adding that sometimes "people's rights are taken away slowly ... purportedly, for a good reason."
Retired construction worker Robert Hobbs comes down on the president's side. "We have to stop terrorists when they start talking about doing something," Mr. Hobbs says from his wheelchair in the park, watching dogs run in a canine-friendly grassy area. "You need to get them then. You can't wait for a court order."
He isn't concerned about having his phone tapped. "I'm not going to terrorize anyone," he says. "If you aren't going to do anything, you don't have anything to worry about."
Cutting the president some slack
For some Americans, the issue is cloudy enough for them to give the president the benefit of the doubt. That's the case with Bruce Garrison, a resident of Ossining, N.Y. "It seems like it's one of those unfortunate borderlands where the interest of national security and the rights to privacy collide," he says. But "I am not convinced the president is overstepping his grounds, constitutionally speaking."
Tom Friedrich of Elmira, N.Y., believes the whole affair is overblown, the result of a lot of "Monday morning" quarterbacking. "If there had been another attack, Bush's critics would be asking why he didn't use every means at his disposal to stop an attack. There hasn't been, which can only be interpreted as his approach to terrorism being successful. So, he's criticized for being too aggressive. I'd like to hear Bush's critics identify which innocent civilians should have been sacrificed, so that nobody has to worry about telephone calls to Tehran being overheard."
But to Melissa Kirk of New York City, the spying is wrong - and not just because she's a Democrat: "I can understand the need to protect the public, but if it's done on the basis of fear or gut reaction, not involving the courts, then more often than not someone's rights get trampled. It's a slippery slope. It's important to prevent a tragedy, but by following the Constitution, we are protecting the nation."
In Garner, N.C., Michael Akins will give his name, but won't let a reporter take his picture. Mr. Akins worries a newspaper picture with his anti-administration opinions next to it would spark interest from federal agents. "They'd be tapping my phone. I'm serious," he says.
Akins admits that a growing distrust of politicians and cynicism about the news media clearly color his opinions and, added to what he calls the impossibility of privacy "since the Internet hit," he's convinced that what little privacy is left is worth fighting for.
"[Federal agents] are already doing more than anybody even knows, so if we appear to let them do whatever they want to do, it's only going to get worse," he says.
In Chicago, many of those interviewed at the end of the long holiday weekend declined to express their opinions. Some said they didn't know the facts well enough; others weren't sure how to weigh privacy concerns against the chance of disrupting terrorist attacks. But while the undecided outnumbered the opinionated, opponents of the surveillance outnumbered supporters.
Graduate student Sam Goffman questioned the usefulness of the intelligence gathered through the wiretaps and worried about America's reputation. "In the long run, it will drive people away," he says. "It will increase hostility towards this country."
At Chicago's Intelligentsia coffee shop, Bonnie Angel says surveillance without a warrant could be justified if the government had good reason to suspect someone of involvement in terrorism. "Sometimes it's justified without a warrant," says Ms. Angel. "If you put too many strangleholds on [the government] they can't do their job. And the 'bad guys' know they can't do their job and take full advantage of it."
Angel was in Chicago for the day after driving her daughter back from a holiday weekend in Warrensburg, Ill., where terrorism and counterterrorism are not on most people's list of personal worries.
"We live in a town of 1,400 in central Illinois," she says. "You tend to think it doesn't affect you."

This study will examine risk factors for facial wasting and avascular necrosis (AVN, a type of damage to the hip and other bones) in HIV-infected patients. The prevalence and natural history of AVN are also being evaluated. This study will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify and monitor these conditions in patients with and without diagnosed AVN and to identify risk factors.
HIV-infected patients 18 years of age and older may be eligible for this study. HIV-infected children 4 years and older who can tolerate magnetic resonance imaging without sedation may also participate. Candidates may be screened for participation with a medical history, physical examination, blood and urine tests and possibly an electrocardiogram. Volunteers will provide a medical history and may have a brief physical examination. The study is currently closed to normal volunteers.
HIV-infected patients will have a MRI scan of the hip bone, and possibly other bones. Before the scan, they will provide a medical history by interview or questionnaire and have a physical examination. Those with diagnosed AVN will also have blood drawn to help identify potential risk factors for AVN. For the MRI, the patient lies flat on a stretcher that is moved into a cylindrical machine with a strong magnetic field. Earplugs are worn to muffle thumping sounds produced by radio waves that form the images. Patients can speak with a staff member via an intercom system at all times during the procedure. Repeat MRI studies will be requested at approximately 3- to 12-month intervals for up to 5 years, to see if changes occur with time. If medically indicated, additional diagnostic studies may be done to obtain information needed for appropriate medical care. Blood will be drawn periodically to examine immune parameters and viral blood levels. Patients with AVN may have periodic consultations with the rehabilitation medicine service and orthopedic surgeons.

They like the characters. They like the costumes. They like the romance.
They like the characters. They like the costumes. They like the romance.
Talk to viewers about "Downton Abbey," and their reasons for adoring the British mini-series phenomenon, now in its third U.S. season on PBS, are as numerous as the rooms in the huge English country manor for which the series is named.
That's because "Downton" — the ongoing saga of the aristocratic Crawley family and their downstairs servants dealing with the dynamic social, economic and political changes of the early 20th century — has something for everybody.
Everything about "Downton" is rendered in such exquisite period detail, so impeccably acted, so engagingly written and so universal in its themes of love, striving and loss, the series has achieved an intergenerational appeal that draws its vast audience from all walks of life.
"Downton" has won a host of awards, including an Emmy for Best Miniseries, a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble and a Golden Globe supporting actress award for the sharp-tongued Maggie Smith, who plays the Countess Dowager of Grantham, the matriarch of the family.
"I love Maggie Smith," said Eric Charles, an independent contractor in Shohola. "She has a marvelous way of delivering a quip or a funny comment for any situation."
But why are fans across the spectrum so enthusiastic about "Downton"?
"I love the story," said Linda Fields, owner of the Denim or Lace women's clothing store in Milford. "It's a great story. It really gets you involved. The characters are so well formed. And I love the history. It's just so well done!"
At its heart, "Downton" is a prime-time soap opera similar to the '80s hits "Dynasty" and "Dallas."
The three Crawley daughters — Ladies Mary, Edith and (spoiler alert!) the late Sybil, and the downstairs servants all get involved in frequently tangled romances.
The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 takes its toll, as does the tragic death of Sybil in childbirth.
Meanwhile, their gentleman father and their fiercely old-school butler, Mr. Carson, resist the forces of modernity — women's suffrage, Ireland's fight for freedom, challenges to class privilege — that sweep through the manor in the wake of World War I.
"It's soap opera-ish," agrees Fields, who claims to hate the daytime variety. "But it's at a higher level. The writing, the acting, the problems that really drive great story are just so superior. It's sophisticated soap opera."
Actually, it's soap opera modernized.
"I especially like the fast-paced plots," Charles said.
Whereas plots frequently bore today's daytime soap opera watchers by taking months to years to play out, "Downton" frequently resolves its plots within one to three episodes.
As Shirley MacLaine, who guest stars this season as the Countess of Grantham's visiting American mother, Martha, told the New York Times: "Julian Fellowes (the show's creator, producer and sole writer) has either purposely or inadvertently stumbled on a formula for quality television in the Internet Age."
"Downton" isn't the first British miniseries to find favor with American audiences.
Public television watchers relish memories of "Upstairs Downstairs" (1971-75), an earlier examination of the dissolution of the British class system; "I Claudius" (1976) and "Brideshead Revisited" (1981).
Said Professor Bob Burford, assistant professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Kent State University in Ohio: "Americans are so deeply in love with British royalty and wealth and the British class system even though they are so directly opposite of the American dream and what we hold so true to our hearts"¦"
The culture is different from ours, and so, too, in "Downton Abbey" are the kind of people represented by Downton's upstairs aristocrats.
"Their life is certainly different from the life I lead. That's what makes this show so fascinating," Charles said.
Yet, whether the characters are upstairs or downstairs, overall Charles said he also sees similarities to one's own life here in America.
"There are scenes of making basic connections. Wanting love and wanting revenge. 'Downton' is about all of our emotions."
It's also about something that American television lacks right now: families.
In an era of police procedurals, reality shows and series full of dysfunctional characters, violence and serial killers, "Downton" is more relatable and recognizable to the average viewer.
Said Burford: "These are real people. There are particularly normal characters on this show. While we have so much shock TV here in America, there's an audience out there for something different."
Doug Cook, vice president of marketing and special events at WVIA, reports that there was a nationwide audience of 7.6 million for the first episode of "Downton Abbey" and a correspondingly "huge" audience in the viewing area that WVIA covers.
Although Cook said his station doesn't subscribe to the Nielsen ratings, the station could tell how large the audience was by an unusually large response to the station's fund drives, one of which was held during the first episodes this season.
"Downton" continues to be an overwhelming winner for all PBS stations, including WVIA, Cook said.
"To be honest, in a world with 500, 600, 700 stations, people know quality. That's the big something different in this show. Plus, it seems to speak to everyone."

Serious Protection For Solid-Axle GM Trucks
We love our Blazer, and we love to wheel it. Like all fullsize owners, we think our truck will go anywhere and do anything, but sometimes we're afraid it'll get destroyed following our Jeep buddies. To keep that from happening, we've been on the lookout for a full protection bumper that would handle a winch, protect our fenders, and not hurt our approach angle.
The problem was that nobody seemed to make one. That is until we learned that the Off Road Design gang was developing one based on the front bumper it competed with in Faux Wheeler's Top Truck Challenge. When we saw its 2-inch, 0.120-wall DOM tube construction, we knew we'd found our solution. To customize ORD's bumper for our '82 Blazer we added the optional off-road light and blinker mounts.
For now, ORD is building the bumper for'81-'91 solid-axle GM trucks, but plans are in the works to adapt the design to the '73-'80 trucks too. If you're in the Glenwood Springs, Colorado, area, you can pick yours up like we did. If not, the bumper can be shipped on a pallet to your door--ready for paint.


text: The MC5 is an American rock band formed in Lincoln Park, Michigan in 1964 and active until 1972. They played hard rock music that also included blues-rock, psychedelic rock, rock & roll and garage rock. "Crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening", their far left political ties and anti-establishment lyrics and music would serve as a prototype for later punk rock musicians. The band consisted of Wayne Kramer and Fred "Sonic" Smith (guitars) Michael Davis (bass), Rob Tyner (vocals), and Dennis Thompson (drums).

Dear Editor,
Let me first say that as a pastor I have worked closely with Emmet County Public health and am very thankful for all they do in our community. We simply are going to disagree on this topic. Thank you to the Daily News for providing a forum for this debate.
In my previous letter I argued against the use of Gardasil on a moral basis. That argument alone, I believe, is enough to make the decision against its use. However, there are some proposing a "physical health vs. moral health" debate on this topic. I don't believe that we should have to make an "either/or" choice in this matter. However, In order to make sure that we are debating on the same grounds I submit this letter against the use of Gardasil on the premise that it is physically unhealthy.
Simple research on this drug reveals a very shady history at best. Many who have written about it suggest that Gardasil and its producer The Merck Corporation has much less to do with helping the general public's health and much more to do with making huge profits at the expense of our health. In fact, Judicial Watch suggests that the quick production and speedy desire to push this drug into the main stream public is a "large scale public health experiment."
Consider this, Gardasil vaccine ingredients include amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, sodium chloride, L-histidine, polysorbate 80, sodium borate, (roach killer), and water for injection. Polysorbate 80 injected into prepubescent rats caused a rapid growth of reproductive organs, but growth was abnormal and the rats were sterile, unable to have children. This is hardly the result we are looking for. In fact if this is the case we could be looking at losing an entire generation due to infertility. When used intravenously with vitamins it has been known to cause anaphylactic shock. According to the Polysorbate 80 MSDS, it may be a carcinogenic, (cause cancer), as well as a mutagenic, (birth defects). www.associatedcontent.com/article/921099/gardasil_vaccine_ingredients_roach.html
I understand and realize that most vaccines include ingredients that we would rather not have injected into our bloodstream but we hope that the potential benefit outweighs the potential detriment. In the case of Gardasil it's pretty clear that the potential detriment far outweighs any potential benefit.
Consider the words of Gynecologist Christine Northup M.D., who appeared on the Oprah show to tell viewers, "I would not advocate vaccinating my daughters, and I believe that medical dollars would be better spent elsewhere
As of 2010, VAERS, a website for reporting problems with vaccines, reported that there were 8,864 cases of side effects reported with 38 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome including 18 deaths eleven of which came within one week of receiving the vaccine.
Diane Harper M.D., a principal chief investigator in clinical HPV trials was quoted to say, "The side effects that have been reported are real and they cannot be brushed aside." In addition to this, a survey of 1,122 physicians in Texas showed that about one half of them do not always recommend Gardasil to parents of 11&12 year old girls even though the CDC recommends it.
Moreover, The Center for Disease Control informs us that there are over forty types of HPV most of which are never actually detected because they are naturally defeated. In fact, the CDC tells us that the healthy human body can destroy 90 percent of all HPV. So we want to give this drug to 100 percent of our children for a 10 percent chance that it may help? I don't think those are good enough numbers.
As you can see, it is very easy to make an educated decision against the use of Gardasil based purely on the fact that the potential danger of using this drug far outweighs any potential benefits for you or your children's physical health. Choose against the use of Gardasil on a physical basis and you are making a great moral decision as well.
Pastor Jason Olson, B.A. M.Div,

Adobe Labs has released a research project codenamed Alchemy that lets you compile C and C++ code that is targeted to run on the open source ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2). The purpose of the preview is to assess the level of community interest in reusing existing C and C++ libraries in Web applications that run on Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR.
With Alchemy, Web application developers can now reuse hundreds of millions of lines of existing open source C and C++ client or server-side code on the Flash Platform. Alchemy brings the power of high performance C and C++ libraries to Web applications with minimal degradation on AVM2. The C/C++ code is compiled to ActionScript 3.0 as a SWF or SWC that runs on Adobe Flash Player 10 or Adobe AIR 1.5.
Alchemy, which can be downloaded here is primarily intended to be used with C/C++ libraries that have few operating system dependencies. Targeting computation-intensive use cases, such as audio/video transcoding, data manipulation, XML parsing, cryptographic functions or physics simulation, performance can be considerably faster than ActionScript 3.0 and anywhere from 2-10x slower than native C/C++ code. Alchemy is not intended for general development of SWF applications using C/C++.
