ProCharger High Output Intercooled Supercharger System Ford Expedition 5.4L 2V 97-03

Horse Power Gains of 60-65%

Intercooled ProCharger systems deliver the ultimate performance and power increase for towing, daily driving and sport truck applications. Compared to all bolt-on aftermarket superchargers, ATIs superior technology delivers more low-end torque and substantially more total power than any other supercharger system. In the lower rpm towing range, Intercooled ProCharger systems will deliver more rear-wheel torque because the intercooled charge air is extremely dense (virtually at ambient temperature), the engine is running full timing, and the P-1SC consumes far less power than positive displacement superchargers. At mid-range and higher rpm, in addition to making more power per pound of boost (due to the same combination of greater air density, full timing and less parasitic load), an Intercooled ProCharger system is also able to safely produce more total boost, thanks to the coolest charge air and exhaust gas temperatures in the industry. The net effect is a substantially larger increase in air density, which in turn produces a substantially larger increase in power. History and physics show that applications without intercooling must run unsafe boost levels or octane-boosted fuel to perform even close to an Intercooled ProCharger system.

Superior Efficiency and Fuel Economy: Intercooled ProCharger supercharger systems enable your truck or sport utility to deliver unparalleled performance without sacrificing daily drivability or gas mileage. In fact, unlike inefficient positive displacement superchargers, in most towing applications your gas mileage may actually increase slightly thanks to the superior efficiency of the P-1SC ProCharger. Stock or modified, for towing, daily driving, or racing, Intercooled ProCharger systems deliver far more performance with far greater engine reliability than any other supercharger system or power adder such as nitrous oxide.

The Best Engine Reliability and Drivability: ATI introduced the industrys first intercooled supercharger system nearly 3 years before its nearest competitor, and is the only company that offers air-to-air intercooled supercharger systems for trucks and SUVs. Other companies non-intercooled and air-to water supercharger systems are typically tuned at the edge of detonation, which leaves you little margin for error. However, because air-to air intercooling removes the heat which causes detonation, you can safely run far more engine-friendly intercooled boost with full timing and complete peace of mind. With air-to-air intercooling, there is no need for "band aids" such as ignition retard, over-rich or auxiliary fuel injectors, or water injection. There is also no need to buy exhaust gas temperature (EGT) gauges because intercooling means that exhaust and overall engine temperatures remain stable even during extreme towing, racing and/or summer heat conditions. The intercooler system, which is standard equipment, simply rejects far more heat than it will receive from the highly efficient P-1SC ProCharger. Intercooling is clearly the fundamental solution for reliable high performance, because it substantially improves both engine reliability and power output. That is why intercooled forced induction is the high performance technology of choice for millions of factory OEM vehicles worldwide.

Three Pioneers in Cell Research Win Top US Medical Prize

Three medical researchers who unlocked the mysteries of how cells communicate with their environment through receptors, or signaling pathways, have won the $500,000 Albany Medical Center Prize in Medicine and Biomedical Research. From VOA's New York Bureau, correspondent Barbara Schoetzau reports their discoveries paved the way for a new generation of drugs to treat everything from asthma and diabetes to cancer and mental disorders.

The three medical investigators made groundbreaking discoveries about how receptors send signals from hormones, drugs and other stimuli to trigger action within the cell.

Robert Lefkowitz of Duke University Medical School in North Carolina, Solomon Snyder of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Maryland, and Ronald Evans of The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California will share the largest prize for medical research given in the United States. The world's only larger monetary award in the field is the Nobel Prize.

According to the award jury, their discoveries unleashed a revolution within the pharmaceutical industry, allowing the development of new drugs that are able to imitate the effects of naturally occurring substances. James Barba, the president of the Albany Medical Center, heads the selection committee.

"As I understand the science, what each one of them worked on were separate parts of the human body, was the notion that cells will react differently to human hormones that they come into contact with. Before their research, scientists had no way of knowing why it was, for example, that opiates affect the human body the way they do," he said. "They could observe the reaction, but they didn't know what was precisely causing it."

The discovery eventually made it possible for scientists to isolate all of the human receptors and design drugs, such a beta-blockers, that help to prevent heart attacks and other diseases.

Barba says the research done by the winners is laying the groundwork for a new generation of scientists and a new understanding of the complexity of human physiology.

"The work of these men and those who will take their work and advance it will discover just what the receptor is for a disease like multiple sclerosis, or what the genome is, and then what the receptors are that will be willing to admit drugs that will deal with that disease," he added.

The Albany Medical Center prize began in 2000 with a $50 million endowment from the late philanthropist Morris Silverman to encourage innovative biomedical research.

Palestinians Celebrate Israel's Release of Prisoners

Palestinians are celebrating Israel's release of nearly 200 prisoners Monday. Israel says it freed the prisoners as a gesture to bolster the moderate Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas. The release came just before the arrival of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who will work to push along a peace deal on Palestinian statehood. VOA's Luis Ramirez reports from Jerusalem.

Hundreds of people took to the streets of Ramallah in the West Bank to cheer the first Palestinians released by Israel Monday, welcoming them as heroes. Some of the former prisoners kissed the ground as they arrived on Palestinian territory.

The prisoners, in some cases, had been held for decades. Israel had been reluctant to release them because some had been imprisoned for attacks that had killed Israeli civilians.

Israeli officials say releasing the prisoners was not easy, but they did so because they believe the gesture could help move along negotiations with the Palestinians.

Greeting the released prisoners on Monday was Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who welcomed their release but said Israel must free more of the at least nine-thousand Palestinians still in prison.

Mr. Abbas said Palestinians love peace and want a comprehensive peace accord. But, he said, no peace will come without the release of all prisoners.

The release came hours before the arrival in Israel of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for meetings with Israeli and Palestinian officials.

The United States wants to see a peace agreement by the end of the year. However, Israel has warned that such an agreement is still out of reach.

Israelis and Palestinians remain far apart on key issues including Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, and the Palestinians' right of return.

Israel last week warned that too much international pressure could yield a premature agreement and result in a new outbreak of violence.

Hungary to Hold EU Migrant Quota Referendum by October

FILE - Migrants carry their belongings as they walk towards the Austrian border from Hegyeshalom, Hungary, Sept. 24, 2015.

Hungary will hold a referendum in September or early October on whether to accept any future European Union quota system for resettling migrants, the prime minister's office said on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban has taken an increasingly anti-immigrant stance since the migration crisis escalated last year and opposes a plan, agreed by a majority of EU governments in September, to redistribute 160,000 migrants around the bloc.

Along with Slovakia, Hungary has launched a court challenge against that plan, which will set quotas for each EU country to host a share of the migrants over two years.

The referendum will ask Hungarians whether they would accept any permanent quota system beyond that.

The question voters will be asked is: "Do you want the EU, even without the approval of Hungarian parliament, to be able to prescribe the mandatory resettlement of non-Hungarian citizens in Hungary?"

"There are crazier and crazier ideas coming up in Brussels. It seems that Brussels has not given up on the plan for mandatory resettlement," Antal Rogan, Orban's cabinet chief, told a news conference.

Once parliament approves holding the referendum, President Janos Ader will set a date on the matter that Rogan said was an "issue of national sovereignty".
Hungary has erected a steel fence along its southern border to stop migrants and refugees, many of whom arrive in Greece fleeing war in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and try to travel north to settle in countries such as Germany and Sweden. Several other countries in southeastern Europe have also put up fences.

4 New World Records

A British kitesurfing family is celebrating after successfully taking on the Round the Isle of Wight World Sailing Speed Challenge and setting four new World Records.
Professional kitesurfers – Steph Bridge and sons Olly (18) and Guy (16) – took to the waters around the Isle of Wight on 30 June 2016 on their foiling kitesurf boards. Travelling the 50 nautical miles around the coastline of the Island on the south coast of the UK, they averaged speeds between 16 and 20 knots.
Guy was first around the island in a time of 2 hours 32 minutes and 25 seconds, averaging speeds of 19.68 knots, with the World Sailing Speed Record (WSSR) Council confirming that Guy is now officially the Fastest Kitesurfer around the Isle of Wight. He also set the record for the Fastest Singlehanded Sailor around this island at the same time

In a recent survey the Swedish premium brand topped the overall table in a study of more than 9,000 new car buyers, scoring 779 points out of a maximum of 1,000.

The study measured UK customer satisfaction with their service experience at franchised dealer facilities for maintenance and repair work.

The study explores customer satisfaction with their service dealer by examining five measures (listed in order of importance): service quality (26%); service initiation (23%); service advisor (19%); vehicle pick-up (17%); and service facility (16%).

The UK CSI Study finds that satisfaction with dealer service leads to customer loyalty and advocacy.

Among the 20% of customers who are highly satisfied with their dealer service (overall satisfaction scores of 900 and above), 78% say they “definitely will" purchase their next vehicle from that dealer and 85% “definitely will" recommend the dealer to friends and family.

Volvo Cars’ concierge service will make your life easier

Volvo Cars, the premium car maker, is promising that you will never have to stop at a petrol station, go to a car wash or even take your car in for a service ever again, with the launch of a range of concierge services that will become an integrated part of the Volvo On Call mobile platform.

Volvo is announcing the roll-out of a pilot programme in San Francisco, targeting Volvo owners driving the new XC90 SUV and S90 luxury saloon. In an effort to make their customers’ lives easier, Volvo has dug deep into consumer research to deliver on their customers’ unmet needs. The pilot is due to start in November and will ramp up to include around 300 Volvo owners.

“Imagine parking your car in the morning at work and when you head home your car has been serviced, cleaned and refuelled. These are the kind of services we want to deliver to our customers. Our research shows that people spend hours every week doing these small errands – we want to give that time back to Volvo drivers, so they can do something more valuable instead,” said Björn Annwall, Senior Vice President, Global Consumer Experience at Volvo Car Group.

Research by Volvo has shown that more than 70 per cent of customers want fuelling services at their fingertips, while 56 per cent want their car picked up for routine maintenance, and 49 per cent would like to be able to have their car moved to another location when desired.

“Our approach is a simple one – we aim to make life easier by employing the latest connected technology in an easy-to-use smartphone app. We are taking an open and agile approach to this, and welcome collaboration with partners with new and innovative service offers. This is just the beginning,” said Anders Tylman-Mikiewicz, Vice President, Consumer Connectivity Services at Volvo Car Group.

The Volvo owners participating in the pilot can use the pilot app to identify concierge services available in the immediate vicinity and order them via their smartphone. Requests are then sent to an authorised Volvo service provider, who will refuel the vehicle, perform scheduled maintenance, or whatever additional service the owner has requested.

The app provides a one-time-use digital key, which is location- and time-specific, and sends it out to the authorised service provider. When the services are complete, the car is locked and the digital key expires. The car can also be returned to where the customer left it or delivered to a completely new location at the customer’s request.

Volvo Cars’ network of digital innovation labs in California, Shanghai and Gothenburg are focusing on understanding the needs of the company’s growing customer base in an effort to further expand the range of services on offer. Due to the scalable nature of the Volvo On Call platform, new services can be easily added to ultimately offer a whole range of time-saving services around your car.

Belgium in Lonely Planet's Must Visit Top 10

Belgium has landed the 8th spot in this year's Lonely Planet list of the Top 10 places to visit for 2014. Belgium's popularity as a 'must visit destination' is linked to the start of ceremonies to mark the centenary of the start of the Great War.

Lonely Planet is a popular travel guide. It heaps praise on Bruges, Antwerp and Ghent and notes that Brussels with its many pedestrian precincts boasts excellent museums. The guide suggests that eating and drinking in Belgium can lead to a taste explosion given our beers, chocolates and fries.

Lonely Planet speaks of medieval cities where culture and gastronomy meet. The coast is surprisingly chic and our art treasures range from medieval masters to Tintin.

The guide pictures a monk checking a Chimay Trappist and the Ghent city centre. It identifies community wrangling as the topic of the day and notes that Manneken Pis and Belgium's EU ambitions could both argue in favour and against a trip to Belgium.

The city of Ieper with its Menin Gate and Last Post ceremony figure prominently. The guide predicts swelling numbers of tourists in the run-up to 2018 as the Great War commemorations gather pace.

Author Tom Hall notes that the country may have been ignored as a travel destination in the past, but that this could now radically change.

So when DW producer Matt Strevens, head writer Chris Chibnall, and Whittaker visited the Vulture Spot at New York Comic Con this year, host Natalie Walker addressed the elephant in the room: whether any tampon-shopping story lines were considered, along with where Whittaker wants her doctor to go.

The “Kilted Killer” – The Scottish Officer Who Made Almost 20,000 Of The Enemy Surrender

A working party of the 1st Battalion Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders at Aix in France, November 1939.

During and after WWII, the Nazis and then the communists were so annoyed by one man they wanted him dead; and not just because he wore a skirt.

Ronald Thomas Stewart “Tommy” Macpherson was born on October 4, 1920, in Edinburgh, Scotland. At 14, his athleticism earned him a scholarship at Fettes College where he joined the Officers’ Training Corps. From there, he went to Trinity College at Oxford, until 1939.

At the outbreak of WWII, he joined the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders. In November 1941, he was sent to Libya to participate in Operation Flipper – a raid on the headquarters of Erwin Rommel, German Commander of the Africa Corps. It failed spectacularly.

Afterward, Macpherson and the remaining survivors were stuck on the beaches north of the city of Beda Littoria, which was under Italian occupation. Despite their lack of food, water, supplies, or maps, they attempted to walk back to the British-held city of Tobruk almost 200 miles away.

They met some Italians who asked MacPherson to show them how his Colt Automatic worked. He obliged by trying to shoot them. He was sent to a POW camp in Italy in June. However, by September 1943, the Italians surrendered to the Allies, enraging the Germans who invaded Italy.

Macpherson was sent to Austria on September 14. He escaped, was recaptured and nearly executed. A Wehrmacht officer intervened and sent him to Stalag XVIII-A in Austria. That did not stop him. He escaped from there seven days later but was caught on September 30.

Then he was sent to Stalag XX-A at Toruń, Poland where he again escaped on October 1. He made it to neutral Sweden where the British embassy repatriated him back to Scotland on November 4. For escaping, as well as for his role in Operation Flipper, he received the Military Cross on February 17, 1944.

With the Allied invasion of France pending, he was asked to join Operation Jedburgh to conduct guerilla warfare in Nazi-occupied Europe. Trained in sabotage and communications, he was made a Major in charge of team Quinine.

Together with a French lieutenant and a British radio operator, they were going to France. Their mission was to get as many Germans as they could away from the beaches of Normandy to give the impending invasion a chance.

On June 8, the trio was parachuted into Aurillac in the mountainous Massif Central region where they met up with a small resistance unit. One of the Frenchmen did not understand what he saw. He claimed the British had sent them a woman. He was referring to MacPherson, dressed in a Scottish kilt, who later explained, “Their mistaking me for a woman wearing a skirt was an easy error to make.”

The Scotsman acted right away. The next evening, he led them in the destruction of the Aurillac-Maurs railway bridge, proving that kilts in no way detracted from either his manhood or his considerable abilities. This was how the legend of the “Kilted Killer” was born.

Heading their way was the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich on the Figeac-Tulle road for Normandy. They mined the road and surrounding terrain, managing to destroy the tracks of the lead tank. German soldiers chased them, but were stopped by falling trees and mines.

More such operations prevented trains passing between Cahors and Souillac. On August 15, the Allies landed at Côte d’Azur in Southern France. MacPherson’s group destroyed more railway lines, roads, and bridges – managing at least one operation daily and drawing more resistance fighters to join.

To annoy the Germans, MacPherson rode around openly in a black Citroën sporting the Union Jack (the British flag) and the Croix de Lorraine (of the Free French forces). The Germans retaliated by placing a 300,000 franc price on him, calling him a “bandit masquerading as a Scottish officer.”

One of his most spectacular exploits involved booby-trapping a barrier arm at a road crossing. When a German commander drove past, it beheaded him and his driver.

At Le Lioran, he waited for a train carrying 300 Germans and 100 Millice (pro-German French soldiers) to enter a tunnel. Rushing in, he blew up the railway track, trapping the enemy inside and almost himself.

Perhaps his greatest achievement, however, was getting almost 20,000 Germans to surrender. By August 1944, Major General Botho Henning Elster realized that Germany was losing and sent out feelers to the suspicious Allies.

MacPherson took a German Red Cross car, and with a German doctor and a French officer, drove to the city of Beaugency. Dressed in full Scottish regalia, he told Elster he could contact the Royal Air Force via radio. At his command, they would rain down death on the German troops.

MacPherson did not have that ability, but Elster bought it. He surrendered along with 18,850 soldiers and 754 officers on September 16.

When France was liberated, he was sent to Italy to help them. Parachuting into Friuli in November, he targeted railway lines at Udine and sabotaged German lines at Tarvisio. During an Allied air raid, he saw pro-German Italian soldiers running into a bomb shelter, so he followed and chucked a grenade in after them.

Then he got into trouble with the communists. After the war, Yugoslavia captured the Italian cities of Istria, Zadar, and Rijeka. Trieste was next, but MacPherson did what he did best, and Trieste remained Italian. Yugoslavia’s leader, Josip Broz Tito was angry.

In 1956, he invited MacPherson to Yugoslavia, and typical of the Scotsman, he accepted. Fortunately, it was cordial, although Tito told him, “I have been looking forward to this meeting. We tried so hard to kill you.”

Along with the Military Cross, MacPherson also got the Légion d’honneur, the Croix de Guerre (thrice), as well as the Star of Bethlehem and a papal knighthood from the Pope. Not bad for a man who fought in a dress… eh, kilt.

Have you ever heard of or wondered what drupa is all about?

From May 31st until June 10th, in Dusseldorf Germany, the largest printing exhibition in the world takes centre stage.

Held every three years (4 years in the past) by Messe Dusseldorf, it is the main event for the print and media industries.

The exhibition is also a confidence barometer for the entire print media industry, its markets, clients and suppliers.

The last staging of drupa in 2012 welcomed over 314,000 visitors from 130 countries.

The very future of print and its applications will be showcased at drupa, including commercial printing, functional and industrial printing, packaging, multichannel, 3D printing and green printing.

We will be paying the exhibition a visit and will be keeping a close eye on the technologies available to us now, and also those still being developed.

President Obama's news conference today was ... weird.

Binyamin Appelbaum, an economics reporter for the New York Times, summed it up sharply on Twitter: "Obama is really mad at Edward Snowden for forcing us patriots to have this critically important conversation."

National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden is pictured during an interview with the Guardian in his hotel room in Hong Kong June 9, 2013. (REUTERS/Ewen MacAskill/The Guardian)

Obama began the news conference by announcing a series of reforms meant to increase the transparency of, and the constraints on, the National Security Agency's surveillance programs. They included reforms to Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which enables the collection of telephone metadata; changes to the powerful surveillance courts to ensure "that the government’s position is challenged by an adversary"; declassification of key NSA documents; and the formation of "a high-level group of outside experts to review our entire intelligence and communications technologies."

"What makes us different from other countries is not simply our ability to secure our nation," Obama said. "It’s the way we do it, with open debate and democratic process."

If that's so, then Edward Snowden should be hailed as a hero. There's simply no doubt that his leaks led to more open debate and more democratic process than would've existed otherwise.

Obama reluctantly admitted as much. "There’s no doubt that Mr. Snowden’s leaks triggered a much more rapid and passionate response than would have been the case if I had simply appointed this review board," he said, though he also argued that absent Snowden, "we would have gotten to the same place, and we would have done so without putting at risk our national security and some very vital ways that we are able to get intelligence that we need to secure the country."

As Tim Lee writes, this is dubious at best. Prior to Snowden's remarks, there was little public debate — in part because the federal government was preventing it.

When Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) asked for a “ballpark figure” of the number of Americans whose information was being collected by the NSA last year, the agency refused to give the senator any information, arguing that doing so would violate the privacy of those whose information was collected.

In March, at a Congressional hearing, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper answered “no sir” when Wyden asked whether the NSA had collected “any type of data at all on millions of Americans.” We now know his statement was incorrect.

That was the state of the debate prior to Snowden: The Director of National Intelligence went before Congress, was given an opportunity to give the American people a clear and balanced picture on some of these programs, and basically lied. And no one from the Obama administration came out that day, or the next day, or the next week, to correct the record. It was only after Snowden's leak that Clapper apologized.

Obama allowed that "those who have lawfully raised their voices on behalf of privacy and civil liberties are also patriots who love our country and want it to live up to our highest ideals." But most all of those people would say Snowden strengthened their hand immeasurably.

Obama's frustration with Snowden is that he interrupted what could have been "a lawful, orderly examination of these laws; a thoughtful, fact-based debate." The White House believes Snowden's leaks — and the drip-drip-drip way the Guardian released them — left the public misinformed. And at times, that's certainly true. The initial reports on PRISM, for instance, clearly suggested that the program was wider in scope than it actually is.

But the White House could have led that thoughtful, fact-based debate, and despite Obama's protestations to the contrary, they didn't. They prevented it. If this conversation, and these reforms, are as positive for the country as Obama says they are, then it's hard to escape the conclusion that Snowden did the country a real service — even if the White House can't abide crediting him with it.

Demonstrators arrive on the Mall in Washington for the Women's March on January 21, 2017. (Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP/Getty Images)

THE NATIONAL Park Service has floated the idea of whether it should charge fees to groups that hold protests on the Mall. The reason cited by officials for this possible change is the cost to the federal government of providing security and other support for these events. But there would be a serious cost to our democracy if the government takes the unprecedented step of charging citizens for their rights to free speech and political protest. Officials should not give any more thought to this bad idea.

The possibility of imposing a fee, or requiring cost reimbursements from protesters, is among 14 proposed revisions to regulations governing events held on federal land in the District that have raised considerable concerns among constitutional rights advocates, who see an effort by the Trump administration to stifle protest in the nation’s capital. Under existing rules, the Park Service already has the authority to charge fees for “special use permit” events such as festivals or weddings, but not for activities related to speech or expression protected by the First Amendment. Each year, the agency issues about 750 permits for First Amendment demonstrations (compared with 1,500 for special events). A parks spokesman said there are enormous costs in supporting some of the larger demonstrations and “the federal government and taxpayers shouldn’t be required to underwrite the cost of somebody’s special event, whether it’s a concert, wedding or gathering of some sort.”

There’s a big difference between a Hollywood film crew shooting a scene for “Wonder Woman 1984” and citizens exercising their constitutional rights. One responsibility of the Park Service — indeed, its legal obligation — is to protect First Amendment activity. As the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found in a ruling during protracted litigation over Vietnam War protests in the 1960s, the “use of parks for public assembly and airing of opinions is historic in our democratic society, and one of its cardinal values.” If there is an issue of resources — and the Park Service has yet to make a convincing case of being overburdened — the solution is not to place restrictions on the public’s access to public spaces.

The comment period on imposing fees on protests closes Oct. 15, and an agency spokesman stressed that, at this point, it is not proposing a change but “just asking the question.” Here’s our answer: a resounding no.

- Associated Press - Friday, November 18, 2016

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - The Kansas court system is seeking a $20.3 million increase in state appropriations in the next fiscal year to improve the pay of judges and court employees whose salaries are up to 22.2 percent below those of their peers in other states.

The request came Friday after two studies conducted by the National Center for State Courts found that every job classification in the state’s judicial system was paid below market value, many employees are earning below the federal poverty level for a family of four and nearly one-quarter of magistrate judges are seeking other employment.

“As chief administrative officer of the Kansas judicial branch, my concern is efficient, effective management of our state courts,” Chief Justice Lawton Ness said in a news release. “That includes making sure we are staffed to meet the needs of the communities we serve. Being able to offer pay appropriate to the market is essential to achieve that purpose.”

Nuss also noted that court employees have received only a 2 percent cost of living increase in the last eight years and that was overtaken by increased employee contributions to benefits.

“Because pay is not keeping pace with the market, Kansas courts are experiencing higher rates of employee turnover and are finding it more difficult to recruit new employees,” Nuss said.

One study also found that nearly one-third of judicial branch employees work more than one job and about 700 entry-level employees, such as workers in clerk’s offices and court services officer who supervise people on probation, are paid 17.8 percent under the market rate.

A second report found it would take a more than 22 percent increase to raise district magistrate judges’ salaries to market and the judges who say they are looking for other work cite compensation as the main reason.

On top of the $20.3 million increase for fiscal year 2018, the court system is seeking another $20.4 million increase in fiscal 2019. That money would be used for employee raises, increasing magistrate judge pay by about 22 percent and bringing pay for district judges up to an average of states surrounding Kansas. The judicial branch’s budget for fiscal year 2017 was $133 million.

Aluminum Can Recycling Rate Reaches 54.2 Percent

The recycling rate for aluminum beverage cans — as calculated by The Aluminum Association, the Can Manufacturers Institute and the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries — climbed to 54.2 percent in 2008, up from 53.8 percent the year before.

“The aluminum can is a sustainable beverage package,” said Kevin Anton, chairman of The Aluminum Association and president of Alcoa Materials Management, in a press release. “A can that is recycled can be back on the store shelf in as little as 60 days. Recycling conserves energy, saves resources and minimizes consumer and production waste. We model the benefits of recycling and will continue to promote these benefits.”

“This shows recycling rates for cans strong and can makers are committed to their continual increase,” added Robert Budway, president of the Can Manufacturers Institute, in the release. “Higher recycling rates deliver the endlessly recyclable benefits for cans, reducing carbon emissions, virgin material use and energy expenditure.”

Study: Some Women Should Start Mammograms at 30

By Dennis Thompson

HealthDay Reporter

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 28, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- Women at increased risk for breast cancer should start receiving mammograms earlier than recommended, even as young as age 30, a new study contends.

Young women who have dense breasts or a family history of breast cancer appear to benefit from regular mammograms as much as women in their 40s do, researchers reported.

The findings support new breast cancer screening recommendations issued by the American College of Radiology this year, said lead researcher Dr. Cindy Lee, an assistant professor of radiology at NYU Langone Health in New York City.

"Every woman by age 30 should have a risk assessment with their primary care physician or ob-gyn to see if they are at increased breast cancer risk," Lee said. "If there is family history, then maybe they should consider a baseline mammogram to determine their breast density."

Breast cancer screening guidelines now call for women to start regular mammograms later in life.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends mammograms every other year for women aged 50 to 74, while the American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms from 45 to 54 and at least every other year from 55 onward.

But Lee said no one has really examined the benefits of starting breast cancer screening in a woman's 30s.

"So far, everyone is talking about screening women above the age of 40, but we're looking at a decade earlier because there's just not enough evidence out there," Lee said. "We're looking to see if younger women with certain risk factors may benefit from earlier onset screening mammography."

For this study, Lee and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 5.7 million screening mammograms performed on more than 2.6 million women between 2008 and 2015. The mammograms took place at 150 facilities in 31 states in the United States.

The researchers looked at women aged 30 to 39 with three specific risk factors -- dense breasts, prior diagnosis of breast cancer, or breast cancer in a first-degree relative (mother, sister or daughter).

The investigators compared the results of mammography in these women against mammograms given to women aged 40 to 49 without those risk factors.

Breast cancer was detected about as often in younger women with these risk factors as in women in their 40s, the researchers found.

They also determined that women in their 30s with breast cancer risk factors have to come back to the doctor for further testing and biopsy about as often as older women undergoing regular screening.

"Women with at least one of these three risk factors likely benefit from screening mammogram beginning at age 30, instead of age 40," Lee said.

The findings were to be presented Wednesday at the Radiological Society of North America annual meeting, in Chicago. Such research is considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

A breast cancer risk assessment and possible initiation of mammograms at age 30 doesn't necessarily run counter to current screening guidelines, said Robert Smith, vice president of cancer screening for the American Cancer Society.

"The ACS guidelines for women at higher risk already recommend breast cancer screening before age 40 if a woman is a carrier of a known or suspected mutation on a breast cancer susceptibility gene, or if she was exposed to radiation treatment for childhood cancer," Smith said.

"Likewise, women and their doctors can make individual decisions. So if a woman has a family history in a first-degree relative diagnosed before the age of 50, it is not unreasonable for her to seek advice about whether she should begin screening before age 50," he said.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendation on breast cancer screening also includes some flexibility, saying that the decision to start regular mammography before age 50 "should be an individual one and take patient context into account."

Smith added that mammograms for women who've already had breast cancer shouldn't really be regarded as screening.

"If a woman has prior history of breast cancer, her regular exams are dictated by that experience," Smith said. "Any woman diagnosed with breast cancer will undergo regular surveillance breast imaging from that point forward."

Who needs Route 66 when you have the A82? The route from Loch Lomond to Glencoe has been picked as the ideal British road trip in a new study (26 percent).

The trip featuring the Bridge of Orchy and the gorgeous Loch Lomond National Park was chosen by over a quarter of drivers. The scenic second place routes were Barnstaple in Devon to Newquay in Cornwall and a trip around the New Forest, both of which picked up 13 percent of votes.

No matter where we were driving, there was no doubt who the perfect passenger would be - our partners. Over 85 percent of the 5,000 British drivers surveyed by would choose their beloved partner for the road trip, ahead of a celebrity, no matter the star power.

A quarter of us would hire out a special set of wheels courtesy of our credit cards to enjoy the road trip in style, while 42 percent would take the journey in their own car, believing it’s about the journey rather than the vehicle.

The most popular choice for the drive was an Aston Martin (24 percent), followed by a Range Rover (22 percent) and then a Ford Mustang with 10 percent.

Richard Evans, head of technical services at, said: ‘The Aston Martin DB11 and the Range Rover were the most popular car choices, underlining that British motorists aspire to the luxury end of the market when it comes to their perfect road trip.

"Here at, we buy a number of Aston Martins and Range Rovers from customers every year and agree that either motors would be the ideal ride for the perfect road trip."

Richard added, "In the UK we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to stunning backdrops for an idyllic road trip. have over 250 branches across the nation, some in the most picturesque of places. Scotland boasts so many areas of outstanding natural beauty, we can certainly see why the drive from Loch Lomond to Glencoe came out on top."

40 percent of drivers would soundtrack their road trip with a specially curated playlist, with one in four trusting the radio to provide the background noise, and ten percent of people relying on their conversation to keep the journey going.

Fleetwood Mac’s soft rock classic “Go Your Own Way” was chosen as the ultimate driving anthem by 14 percent of respondents, followed by “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd with 11 percent and then “Take It Easy” by The Eagles with nine percent.

Of course all that singing along would bring on a bit of hunger, so it’s a good thing that 41 percent of people say they’d pack sandwiches. 40 percent of those polled also say they would pack chewy sweets and 38 percent will ensure they have some mints on board.

While 40 percent of people polled said that they’d play no car games, 27 percent of respondents would play “eye-spy” on the journey and 17 percent would test out their passenger with a game of “Would you rather?’’.

There’s no need to worry too much about a SAT NAV as 78 percent of people would trust their passenger to give directions. What could possibly go wrong?

Google hates “coming soon”

And I know you hate “Coming Soon,” too!

How do I know?
Here’s a story:

egg crate with coming soon
Let’s say you want to bake a cake and you find you are out of eggs.

You go to the grocery store to buy some and find a sign that says “Eggs: coming soon!”

You look around the store manager to ask, “What does this mean ‘coming soon’?”

He says, “Well, they’re on a truck.. that’s coming soon. We don’t know exactly when. But ..soon. So you should check back again … soon.”

Ridiculous, right?

How many times will you go back to that store? (It would make me really angry and I’d vow to never shop there again.)

Search engines are designed to help searchers find the best content relative to the search terms.

So when their magic robots scan your content, they can pretty easily tell if it says “coming soon” or “under construction.”

Here is a sad example I recently found on an established website with a new front page:

A new website is coming soon…
in the meantime, this site is temporarily unavailable.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

However, the MEMBERS AREA can still be accessed during
construction and testing of the new site…
CLICK HERE to go there now.

That’s just 41 words and pretty much none of it yields any indication of authority on any subject.

That is particularly sad because when searching for an obvious specific keyword, the site had been number one in Google for MANY years.

I can’t say that their ship is sinking fast. But it sure is pissing off people who want to find information that should be obvious there. It should also be angering members who rely on a directory to find business.

Google expects at least 300 words on a page to even consider that there is relevant information available there.

Everything on the internet can change pretty easily. So how about instead of “under construction,” you scrape together 300 words about your business or site.

A sentence or two including:

  • The name of your company and contact information
  • Your own name, a picture with appropriate “alt tags
  • What your company does and who it serves

If Google finds your “coming soon” banner during its indexing more than a couple of times, your traffic will suffer. And it may be very hard to get that ranking back.

Grout Me Out

Hey my people,

Opinions please: Does a cancer diagnosis bring on DIY fever? That's how it's been for me. My temperature registers in the lower end of the spectrum, I admit: When I get a grand idea, like making a little covered hut out in the yard to house all that exercise equipment we never use, It takes all my energy to buy the list of materials. Every label has to be read and, half the time, deciphered with the help of YouTube or Wikipedia. Is it water- or oil-based? Toxic to children and animals? Long-lasting? Quick-drying? Does it require molly bolts? (I am not interested in molly bolts. The term sounds like a Revolutionary-era sexually transmitted disease.)

If you're like me, you spend a lot of time whipsawed between that cancer-survivor urge to take control of your environment and the chemo-brained reality that you are willing to exert yourself only in short bursts and then only on ideas you've already had.

I do get tired of the half-assedness that plagues all my projects. Also, it's new year's resolution time. So when my nephew-in-law, a professional tile guy, explained how to regrout the kitchen counter, I decided to Do It All the Way.

I was at it for three days, digging out all the nasty-greasy old grout in preparation for the fresh batch. Then came the rubber gloves, the cool water--not too much!--the bucket, the stirring, and, in about two minutes, the frenzied race to the finish. The instructions said to ply the tile float at a nice even pace, just ease that grout on into the crevices. Yeah, well. Not the way this stuff was drying. I wound up tearing around the counter at a dead run, raking big globs of black muck out of the bucket and stuffing it into every hole I could see.

It was like finger painting. It was fantastic.

There was collateral damage, it's true. Talk about the fog of war: There is now a thin layer of gray-black grout all over me, the floor, the dog, and the cat.

But I did it. No pile of unused supplies taking up permanent residence in a corner until I forget what they were for. No big swath of countertop left undone, with the promise to resume "next weekend," meaning "never in this lifetime."

No, for once I followed all the way through. That's what I told my nephew.

There was a brief silence on the phone. Then he asked, "You regrouted the whole kitchen?"

Handling Treatment

Welcome to Humility Beach

You know what I used to hate during chemo? Those perky social worker types who would materialize next to my IV stand and try to cheer me up. Their spiel was excruciatingly predictable. Duration: ten minutes, no more. Content: a helpful hint, a sincere smile, an upbeat exit. The helpful hint was always something like, "Did you know ginger tea can help with nausea?" My answer was always something like, "Did you know not having cancer can prevent nausea altogether?" I never said that of course. I just thought it, every single time.

I never wanted to be a check mark on anybody's clipboard. If all it takes to fix me is a cup of ginger tea, how boring am I? All those meditation apps, mind-body-spirit workshops, soothing sound tracks—all that stuff—I was like, Deliver me from cheesy consolations!

Well, cancer eventually offers a path to humility. I don't mean humiliation. I mean one day you look up and you're not so eager to judge. Ginger tea doesn't seem so trivial. What's more, cancer doesn't seem so monumental. Humiliation makes the path narrower, but humility opens our way to an endless beach where there's room for all of us and nobody's footprints are forever.

I don't know how that beach sounds for you. But courtesy of this clip from YouTube, here's how it sounded for someone else. Is it cheesy to close your eyes and enjoy these waves, knowing that they're advertising some product called Hawaii Ocean Waves White Noise? I'll let you decide.

As for me, cancer got me to Humility Beach and, to my surprise, I like it here. I'm not judging winners and losers anymore. I'm amazed at all the living creatures I meet, including myself. Come on by. I'll make us a cup of ginger tea.

Lady Lymphedema's Birthday Blog

(ED NOTE: Not my legs. Believe me.)

Hey my people,

Here we are at my birthday, December 22. This is a big one. Actually, as the astute blogger Lisa Bonchek Adams points out, they're all big ones once cancer has entered your life. But this is a flip-the-decade birthday, y'all. This is me getting to say I've somehow lived thirteen years since I was first diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I've had all that time to grow, change, rant, cry, love and learn.

I haven't wanted to complain on this blog, because considering how much life I've saved up, how rich I am in memories, complaining is just bad manners. But just this once, since it's my birthday, please indulge me.

So I dropped a heavy box on my foot in September. It hurt like hell, but I figured that's what I get for cleaning out the storeroom when it's 95 degrees. Couple days later, I look down and holy crap, my foot and ankle are all swollen. Mrhuuhhh?

X-rays, orthopedic boots, hot packs; nothing broken, says the podiatrist. Once we've eliminated hairline fractures, he looks at my chart, sees that December 22 birthday approaching, and goes, ah, wink wink, at this age we don't heal as fast as we used to. This was inarguable but also, it turns out, irrelevant.

I found out I had lymphedema only after I started an exercise program at my alma mater, Cedars-Sinai. Unlike the podiatrist, the cancer folks knew what to look for when they saw my by-now-mild swelling. Thanks to their sharp eyes, I'm lucky enough to have caught my problem early.

It still sucks. I'd gone 13 years without pelvic lymph nodes, no problem. Then some idiot, probably me, packed the storeroom and neglected to post avalanche warnings. All it took was one injury, and there's cancer, up in my face yet again, delivering another of those little insults that make it such a pal even after it's in remission.

Now my leg is swathed in bandages out to here, and will remain so for the next several weeks. Then I get fitted for my new style statement, a compression garment. Excuse me, what? Yeah. A compression garment. Like Spanx for your foot, for life.

On the other hand, behold the power of words. Spanx for your foot. Doesn't sound bad when you write it, does it? Sounds like something you might buy at Macy's to complement your tankini. Maybe my compression garment will make me look svelte. Ten pounds lighter. No cankles here!

Or maybe lymphedema just sucks. Regardless, even if a compression garment is the last birthday present I'd want, it is my birthday. I made it to 60, and I'm celebrating.

The Courage to Be Seen, Part 1

Hey my people,

You know what? We are fighting back against the soul-killing after-effects of cancer, and we are being seen fighting back. I'm thinking about two viral videos I saw today. Both make me cry, not with sorrow, but with joy.

First came the most delightful, not to mention funky, homemade dance video, staged in the OR to Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied" by an awesome woman named Deborah Cohen and the medical team about to perform her double mastectomy. She termed it a Flash Mob and invited funky souls everywhere to join in. Here's how it went down.

Just five days after her surgery, Deborah's video has been viewed more than 6 million times on YouTube.  Nearly 200,000 people have visited her CaringBridge page, and many have responded to her request to film their own "Get Me Bodied" videos and email them to her. "I picture a healing montage," she writes. "Are you with me?"

You damn betcha!

Social Media for Cancer Voyagers

Hey my people, Having a great exchange with Lynn, a new friend on our Well Again page on Facebook. She wants to send pix of her crocuses but she's not sure how to post. Anybody relate???? While the digital world was taking quantum leaps forward, a lot of us  were having cancer treatments that temporarily took up all our mental storage. So now here we are, and it feels like the world is just galloping ahead and how will we catch up?

What if it's a matter of openness and generosity? We already know that isolation is one of the most painful things about cancer. We already know that the online world is an awesome tool to bring us together. Doesn't it seem like we could figure out a way to help each other master the online basics, so we could reach out and connect?

Anybody care to post on my Well Again wall and tell Lynn in three steps how to post a picture of her crocuses?

Can I afford to come out about cancer?

Hey my people, Check out The Sickness Closet, a brilliant column in Salon today by my awesome fellow cancer vet Mary Elizabeth Williams.  The subject is: do we let people know we're dealing with the C, or do we keep it secret?

I mean, keeping it all a secret just can't be good. I get this picture of my trillions of cells trying to fend off the cancer while also pouring out energy to explain my oddly long lunch hours and my blood-test band-aids, and, who knows, whether my wig is on straight. Talk about your strength-sappers!

On the other hand…  Next to the shock power of the C word itself, the second-most-awful C word comes from your insurance company: CANCELLED.  So the closet starts to look pretty good. Except that hiding encourages people to think cancer is worse than it is.  If we're sick one day, we'll be better the next.  We're not dead.

We're alive, thank you very much!

Most of us who come down with cancer go right on living.  For every curve the illness throws at us, we discover new strength and new purpose. The folks who count us out… and those who want us to keep cancer a deep, dark secret… I'm guessing they're really scared of cancer themselves.  Not that I blame them.

But here's the thing. If I'm hiding my cancer journey, how can I help with yours?

Millions to be invested in North Yorkshire’s water works

Yorkshire Water chief executive Richard Flint. (S)
Yorkshire Water chief executive Richard Flint. (S)

Millions in investment will be made in the North Yorkshire’s water works, it has been revealed today (December 12).

Rivers and sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) in Harrogate, Pateley Bridge, and Nidderdale will be improved up to 2020, according to utility company Yorkshire Water.

More than half of the company’s investment plans are aimed at protecting and enhancing the region’s water environment, with £180m set aside to improve the quality of Yorkshire’s inland waterways.

There is considerable investment being made in North Yorkshire, where a significant proportion of the £3.8b set aside for the whole region over the next five years will be made.

Across North Yorkshire £10.9m will be spent on increasing and supporting biodiversity, focusing in particular on native species, including work to restore 75 hectares of natural woodland.

And, as part of the £6m allocated to opening up rivers at more than 20 sites in Yorkshire, the River Wharf west of Harrogate, River Ure near Masham, and the River Swale near Northallerton will benefit.

A share of an additional £2m will be spent on improving SSSIs in North Yorkshire at Barden near Pateley Bridge, in Blubberhouses, in East, Upper, and West Nidderdale, and at Gouthwaite Reservoir, helping these areas reach ‘favourable’ status by 2020.

Right across the county there will be an investment of £14m in storm tanks to help minimise risk of flooding from sewers at times of heavy rainfall.

Other examples of funding in North Yorkshire include upgraded sewage treatment works at Gargrave in the Upper Aire Valley, £2m to help endangered eels into the county’s rivers near Wressle and Whitby, and a £6.4m refurbishment of the Irton water treatment works near Scarborough.

Yorkshire Water chief executive Richard Flint said the money would drive significant improvements in customer service, as well as delivering major environmental benefits across the region.

“This is great news for our customers who already benefit from having some of the lowest bills in the UK,” he said.

“When pulling together our plan, more than 30,000 customers gave us their views on what they thought we should be investing in.

“Our consultation programme was the biggest of all the water and sewerage companies, so we’re confident that it represents real value for money.

“As a company that prides itself on taking care of the water environment, we’re looking forward to building on the excellent work we’ve already undertaken to improve the region’s reservoir catchments, countryside, rivers, and streams.”

Another announcement released today has said customers in North Yorkshire will benefit from lower water bills and better services over the next five years, according to a report by industry regulator Ofwat.

Average bills in the county will fall by about three per cent between 2015 and 2020, reducing the average bill from £373 a year to £361, the report said.

In real terms, this means that in 2019/20, Yorkshire Water customers in the area will be paying £15 less a year for their water and sewerage services than the national average water bill.

Customers will receive official notification of their new charges early in 2015, with further communications and bills distributed between February and May.

Mr Flint said: “We’re looking forward to working closely with local communities to deliver our plan in the most effective and efficient way possible.

“We’re proud of the fact that we’re currently the most financially efficient water and sewerage company in the UK and we’re committed to ensuring we continue to deliver value for money and invest in the things our customers say are important to them.”

Mr Flint added that helping customers who were genuinely struggling to pay their bills would remain a high priority for the company, which would shortly be piloting a new social tariff to help those in most need of financial assistance.

FULL SHOW: No Charges; The Yawkey Name; Policing The State Police

Has The U.S. Left The “Black Lives Matter” Movement Behind?
With the death of Stephon Clark and the announcement that no criminal charges would be filed in the death of Alton Sterling, has the U.S. become desensitized to the killings of black men?  Jim Braude was joined by Tanisha Sullivan, president of the Boston Branch of the NAACP, Peter Roby, athletic director at Northeastern University, and Jocelyn Sargent, executive director at the Hyams Foundation — which just released a study on racial inequity in Boston — to discuss.
City Leaders Split Over Decision To Rename Yawkey Way
The debate on changing the name of Yawkey Way is heating up before opening day. Jim Braude was joined by Howard Bryant, a columnist for ESPN Magazine and NPR Weekend Edition correspondent, and the reverend Dr. Ray Hammond, founder of Boston’s Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and a Yawkey Foundation trustee, to discuss the two sides of the issue.
Broken Pot Promises
On Monday, the first groups vying to open up recreational pot shops in Massachusetts can apply for a license and so-called priority applicants are at the head of the line. Those are the groups that were already given the go-ahead to sell medical marijuana and for whom moving into recreational sales might be a natural progression. But as Adam Reilly tells us, for one downtown Boston retailer making the shift is a tough sell.
IMHO: Mass. State Police Need To Learn How to Police Themselves
Jim Braude shares his thoughts on the recent scandals with the Massachusetts State Police.

Benriach 10YO Curiositas 700ml

Benriach 10YO Curiositas 700ml

The BenRiach CURIOSITAS uses a heavily peated malted barley as the cereal varietal to produce a unique, fresh, peated expression. This rare peated single malt, from the Heartland of Speyside, has wonderful overtones of PEAT reek, combined cleverly with a background of FRUITY, FLORAL, heathery notes and an appealing presence of OAK WOOD in the finish.

Traditionalists believe that peated malts achieve optimum balance of peat-bittersweet and oak infusion after 10 YEARS of maturation. In fact, peated BenRiach is a return to the ORIGINAL Speyside character and flavour of malts typical of the nineteenth century. Curiositas is a DISTINCTIVE and welcome addition to the Speyside scene – this is a dram to be savoured with a dash of water.

Elsewhere up to $87.99

The Languages of Scandinavia: Seven Sisters of the North

The Languages of Scandinavia: Seven Sisters of the North

By: Ruth H. Sanders (author)Hardback

Only 1 in stock

£23.40 RRP £26.00  You save £2.60 (10%) With FREE Saver Delivery

From fjords to mountains, schools of herring to herds of reindeer, Scandinavia is rich in astonishing natural beauty. Less well known, however, is that it is also rich in languages. Home to seven languages, Scandinavia has traditionally been understood as linguistically bifurcated between its five Germanic languages (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, and Faroese) and its two Finno-Ugric ones (Finnish and Sami). In The Languages of Scandinavia, Ruth H. Sanders takes a pioneering approach: she considers these Seven Sisters of the North together. While the two linguistic families that comprise Scandinavia's languages ultimately have differing origins, the Seven Sisters have coexisted side by side for millennia. As Sanders reveals, a crisscrossing of names, territories, and even to some extent language genetics intimate language contact has created a body of shared culture, experience, and linguistic influences that is illuminated when the story of these seven languages is told as one. Exploring everything from the famed whalebone Lewis Chessmen of Norse origin to the interactions between the Black Death and the Norwegian language, The Languages of Scandinavia offers profound insight into languages with a cultural impact deep-rooted and far-reaching, from the Icelandic sagas to Swedish writer Stieg Larsson's internationally popular Millennium trilogy. Sanders's book is both an accessible work of linguistic scholarship and a fascinating intellectual history of language.
