I know I said that about the Texans and it was premature, As the situation that unfolded puts me now on the Jets in a big way.
And I am not an attention person, just trying to be helpful. If its a big deal maybe I just wont post what I am on anymore and just give some insight on here. I spend a ton of time on here as a hobby,.....something I enjoy....but if its a problem I can leave Spartacus

That too!
Originally Posted by Spartacus10: I never said leave, but why go about things the way you are? Why not simply not post units and just state what your best bet is.

Why should you count the extra money on a +125 ML hit, but not subtract the juice on a -110 loss? Why not make regular plays 1 unit and max plays 2 units? I've said it to you before and I'll say it again, if you're going to keep track of units do the accounting properly. You seem like a good guy and good capper, but the way you go about your business raises a big red flag.
I understand it may seem unorthodox of what I do. Its all based on my system and accounting. It takes me awhile to figure in the juice on all plays lost, but the ML dogs are once in awhile so I dont mind it. I dont have to even put the unit sizes on here but I do to give people an understanding of what I like. I make plays from 7-15 units regularly. I even admit I have been betting MAX plays more this year than I have before. Its just the way things are working out in my system just end up that way. You are right that the juice needs to be calculated but I just dont have the time. I gamble on more than just football and am constantly busy doing other things. So please forgive that. If its easier I can just exclude the units altogether. I am just trying to give people good advice. As far as the JETS play I am and will support this play til the death because I am supremely confident that I am on the right side. I wont make this play again maybe never. So its a big deal to me, and thats why I have paraded it a bit. Thanks for being critical though, I welcome it as long as we can both learn from eachother and understand why we do the things we do. GL this week bro
The Jets allowed the Bills to rush for 195 yards and the 49ers to rush for 245. And, in the past seven quarters of the losses to the Steelers and 49ers, Mark Sanchez has completed 19 of 52 passes for 161 yards. That's 36.5 percent, in case you're wondering.
Texans 23-20

This gravestone is in Utley Cemetery, Keighley, West Yorkshire. It is grave number 168 in unconsecrated ground in Section B of the cemetery.
The grave is the resting place of my 2 x great grandfather James Buckley; his first wife Sarah Tattersall; their son Joseph; James' second wife Ellen Spedding; and their daughter Annie Ranson.
Joseph Buckley was born about 1858 and died sometime late in August 1861. He was buried on 30th August.
Sarah Buckley (nee Tattersall) was born about 1836 and married James on 26th April 1857. She had five children and died at the young age of 44 on 24th January 1880.
James then married Ellen Spedding on 30th October 1880 and they had one daughter, Annie.
James and Ellen were married for almost 16 years until James died aged 58 on 11th October 1896 and was buried three days later.
Ellen survived for a little over 24 years until she died at the age of 82 on 13th November 1920.
Annie went on to marry Joseph Ranson in December 1932. She died at the age of 74 on 13th May 1956
A total of nearly 95 years between the first and last burial in this grave.

�Wreck-It Ralph� could easily be called �Video Game Story.� Why? So glad you asked. In Pixar�s �Toy Story,� toys come to life when humans aren�t around. In Walt Disney�s �Wreck-It Ralph,� video game characters come to life when humans aren�t around.
Coincidence? Disney, a studio which once ruled children�s entertainment, has since been usurped by Pixar, a studio that can do no wrong. So if you can�t beat �em, buy �em. Disney now owns Pixar. Interestingly, the executive producer of �Wreck-It Ralph� is John Lasseter, who just happened to be the director of �Toy Story.�
Here, Disney tries its best to capture the Pixar magic, and while �Ralph� is no �Toy Story,� it doesn�t scrimp on the entertainment value. It�s like a really good hamburger. Very satisfying, yet Pixar is still filet mignon.
�Wreck-It Ralph� will certainly be a treat for arcade veterans, as the film pays homage to video games and characters of yesteryear. Children, meanwhile, should warm up to Wreck-It Ralph (voice John C. Reilly), the bad guy in the video game Fix-It Felix Jr. Ralph is a huge man with massive forearms that make Popeye�s look like chicken wings. As his name implies, Ralph is one-man wrecking crew, and what kid doesn�t like wrecking stuff? OK, maybe it�s a boy thing.
Anyway, Ralph is tired of being the bad guy. He wants to be liked and treated with respect like the game�s hero, Fix-It Felix Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer). To change his image, Ralph leaves his game and enters another one, Hero�s Duty.
There, he runs afoul of its no-nonsense leader, Sgt. Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch). He gets a hero�s medal, but ends up crash-landing a jet in another game, Sugar Rush, and unwittingly introduces a deadly cy-bug into the candy-coated environment.
In Sugar Rush, Ralph also meets Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman), a feisty glitch, so named because of faulty computer imaging, who absconds with Ralph�s medal to use to enter a go-cart race. The two don�t get along at first yet these outcasts � glitches are treated like pariahs � decide to work together. If Vanellope wins the race, Ralph will get his medal back. Standing in their way is King Candy (voice of Alan Tudyk sounding like a cross between Charles Nelson Reilly and Ed Wynn), Sugar Rush�s Mad Hatter honcho who refuses to let glitches race.
Meanwhile, Fix-It Felix Jr. and Sgt. Calhoun have arrived in Sugar Rush, too. Felix wants to get Ralph back to his game or else its plug will be pulled while Calhoun wants to destroy the cy-bug before it unleashes its viral wrath.
So many plots and subplots. Characters even get back stories. Heady stuff for a kids� cartoon, yet there�s still plenty of manic action and juvenile jokes for the young ones to enjoy. For example, Vanellope, who looks like a doe-eyed cutie pie, revels in sassy insults and bathroom humor. Case in point, the �duty� in Hero�s Duty becomes �doody� in her naughty mind. Anyone familiar with Silverman�s work knows that isn�t a stretch. However, I pity the parents who see their child Googling Silverman and viewing her act on YouTube. It�s a tad raunchy.
One of the reasons that �Wreck-It Ralph� is such a pleasure is the vocal work is so spot on. No one does sad-sack, put-upon characters like Reilly while Lynch has perfected a persona that can kill with a stare. Here, she channels her inner Marine drill sergeant.
Adults, meanwhile, can get their kicks from watching Ralph partake in a Bad-Anon meeting where video game villains discuss their issues, taking it �one game at a time.�
Rich Moore, making his feature film directorial debut here, manages to keep all the film�s strands intact while maintaining its frenetic pace. His background with �The Simpsons� shows in his penchant for edgier humor.
The script by Phil Johnston and Jennifer Lee supports Moore�s madcap vision yet has no trouble including groan-inducing puns. After a sugary splattering, King Candy quips, �He just glazed me.� And who better to pursue Ralph in a junk food fairyland than Devil Dogs?
The writers even add romance, yet it�s the unlikely friendship of Ralph and Vanellope that gives the film its heart. Sure, the movie falls back on tried-and-true Disney formula, but this time the formula works. Which is more than I can say for the 3D factor. Yet again, this over-used technology adds absolutely nothing to this film except a higher ticket price. The computer-generated animation is fine as is.
�Wreck-It Ralph� should nevertheless be an audience hit and not just for children and gamers. You don�t have to know Super Mario from Mario Lanza to appreciate a movie that operates with a computer chip on its shoulder.
The movie is preceded by a sweet black-and-white short called �Paperman.�
�Wreck-It Ralph� opens Friday, Nov. 2.
�Wreck-It Ralph� (B)
Movie review: Take this job and Wreck-It'
�Wreck-It Ralph� could easily be called �Video Game Story.� Why? So glad you asked. In Pixar�s �Toy Story,� toys come to life when humans aren�t around. In Walt Disney�s �Wreck-It Ralph,� video game characters come to life when humans aren�t around.

When I'm not thinking about The Civil War I sometimes think about Winston Churchill. I like his quote "Never , never , never , never give in " And to the French he declared ; " Whatever you may do , we shall fight on forever and ever and ever. "
This may seem an extreme motto for a yarnbomber but it's more about going on and making art every day under all circumstances. I know Churchill was probably racist and anti Semitic but he was so wonderfully undefeatable. He invented the tank and he was a tank .
I love this quote too" Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule , we shall not flag or fail . We shall go on to the end . We shall fight in France , we shall fight on the seas and oceans , we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air , we shall defend our island , whatever the cost may be , we shall fight on the beaches , we shall fight on the landing grounds , we shall fight on the fields and in the streets , we shall fight in the hills ; we shall never surrender . "
Ok I hope you're feeling strengthened
I was really worn out on Wednesday and I accidently slept until 12 . I wanted to yarnbomb the Temescal library in Oakland as part of my Oakland Library series so I shoved my clothes on , ate some dark chocolate with cherries and stomped off to the Temescal Library .
The library is actually pretty fine , it's a graceful old brick building on Broadway and 52 . There's a bus stop right in front of it with a bench and a pretty little lawn . I stood in front of the Library and looked for things to yarnbomb . The railings were shapely and alluring but I was not in the mood to do any thing nerve racking or questionable . I wanted to make a gift to the library not vandalize it . I decided to yarnbomb the 3 loop bike rack on the left . It took a long time to sew it up by myself but it was an enjoyable self contained task.
When I was done the manager of the library came out and was wildly enthusiastic . That's always nice . And the thing was – the knitting did change the whole street . It looked like their was art present . It made the street and the library look interesting , colorful , disconcerting and new.
Yarnbombing works !
I have a friend Maria Mortati who has a mobile museum . I want a mobile museum . She has a blog here with a bit about yarnbombing.

Coldwell Banker King has joined forces with Carriage Park Associates as the community begins development of its final phase at Carriage Park. The new section, which includes approximately 250 premier home sites with long-range mountain views, will feature home prices starting at $500,000.
King said the private, gated community, located 20 minutes from Asheville, and three miles from Hendersonville, N.C., offers an outstanding location, easy access to shopping and other conveniences, and a setting of breathtaking natural beauty.
"It's no surprise this stunning community has been listed five times as one of the "Top 100 Master Planned Communities" by Where To Retire magazine," King said. "With its scenic lake, clubhouse, pool, tennis courts and walking trails, Carriage Park is an idyllic mountain retreat offering a vibrant lifestyle for retirees."
Developer Dale Hamlin said Carriage Park is currently home to more than 460 families, and that number is climbing quickly as the real estate market continues to improve.
Hamlin, who began developing Carriage Park in 1992, said this is his company's first time to partner with a real estate firm. He said he is excited about Coldwell Banker King's ability to promote the community both nationally and internationally.
"My interest was piqued when I realized in just two years Terri King had taken her company from a brand-new start up to a 45-agent firm and number three in sales in the region," he said. "The management of her firm is exceptional, and she has a pronounced ability to make things happen."
In addition to her company's sales record, King brings the experience of growing up in a family of developers.
"This partnership gives me an opportunity to go back to my roots, as well as looking forward with all the technological advances that allow us to share the advantages of living in Western North Carolina with home buyers all over the world," King said. "We're bullish on Henderson County real estate, and by working together, we look forward to bringing more home buyers into this area."
As one of the area's largest communities, Carriage Park was carefully planned from the beginning to provide a variety of neighborhoods, each with its own character. Making a place for residents to enjoy an active lifestyle in a peaceful mountain setting has always been the ultimate goal, King said. This final phase will be the last opportunity to buy and build a new home in this popular community.
"The retirement industry is a large piece of the Henderson County economy, and the things that draw the retiree to the area are many of the same things that draw every home buyer—four mild seasons, location, quality of life, and surrounding natural beauty," King said. "Henderson County has been a retirement destination for many years, and that's truer than ever in 2013 and beyond. Carriage Park will be a vital part of that continued growth."

- INTERPOL Wiesbaden
Member since :
13 June 1956
German law enforcement services are provided by a combination of different forces which have either state, national or international mandates.
State police forces: Landespolizei
Germany is a Federal Republic made up of 16 states. Each state is responsible for its own policing matters and has its own state Police, called "Landespolizei".
Nationwide police: Bundespolizei (BPOL)
With 40,000 employees – more than 30,000 of them fully trained police officers – BPOL is a country-wide operational police force responsible for domestic security. As part of Germany's Ministry of Interior, it is Germany's uniformed police responsible for:
- Border security – including passport control;
- Coast guard services, which comprise the surveillance of land borders and national sea-borders;

International policing: INTERPOL Wiesbaden
The Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) – which acts as the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) for Germany – is Germany's central agency for police information and communication. It provides support to all Federal police forces and coordinates national crime suppression activities. It also serves as the German Criminal Investigations Department.
As part of the Ministry of Interior, the BKA is called upon by German Police forces – including Landespolizei –when criminal investigations take on an international dimension. Through its operations and coordination center, a 24-hour service center known as the "Kriminaldauerdienst", the BKA is able to take immediate action when investigations, searches and international communications require it.
The BKA has the jurisdiction to conduct investigations relating to:
- International trafficking in weapons, ammunition, explosives or drugs;
- Internationally organized production or exchange of counterfeit currency;
- Internationally organized money laundering;
- Internationally organized terrorism;
- Serious cases of computer sabotage.
Responsible for all serious crime investigations, the BKA also helps its national law enforcement partners in:
- Forensic identification and sciences;
- Research and criminal analysis;
- Criminology and criminal investigation;
- Researching and developing new police methods;
- Developing new working methods aimed at suppressing crime.
The BKA has national mandate for:
- the protection of members of Germany's federal constitutional bodies and, in specific cases, their foreign guests;
- the prevention and suppression of politically motivated crime;
With offices in Wiesbaden, Berlin and Meckenheim, the BKA employs more than 5,500 men and women. With their specialized knowledge and expertise in the fields of criminal sciences, information technology and administration, they cover a broad spectrum of activity. Approximately half of them are fully trained criminal police officers. The others come from more than 70 different occupational groups.

Symptoms of stroke occur when blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted. They can occur suddenly and differ depending on the part of the brain that is affected. Multiple symptoms can happen together because the blocked or bleeding blood vessels may supply a large enough area of the brain that includes multiple functions. Anything your brain does may be affected.
If you experience any of the symptoms listed below in alone or together, call for emergency medical services right away.
The acronym F.A.S.T. may be the easiest way to familiarize yourself with the signs and symptoms of a stroke. According to the American Stroke Association, F.A.S.T. means:
- F—Face drooping —Drooping on one side of the face, with or without numbness. Ask the person to smile, it should not be uneven.
- A—Arm weakness —Arm weakness with or without numbness. Can the person lift both arms? One arm may drift downward.
- S—Speech difficulty —When the person speaks, is it slurred or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Listen for any abnormalities.
- T—Time to call for emergency medical services —Call right away if someone shows these signs or symptoms, even if they go away. It is very important to note the time symptoms first appeared and when you called for medical help.
Other common symptoms that can occur along with symptoms above include:
- Sudden onset of confusion, difficulty swallowing, or difficulty understanding what others are saying
- Blurry, dimming, or no vision in one or both eyes
- Lightheadedness, falling, or loss of balance
- Severe or unusual headache
Stroke can cause severe, permanent damage to the brain, or death. Quick medical treatment is important to increase the chance of survival and decrease the amount of damage. The sooner the blood flow is restored the better the outcomes tend to be. Ideally, treatment should be within the first brief hours after symptoms begin. Do not drive yourself or someone else to the hospital. Emergency medical service personnel can increase the chance of survival and decrease injury by giving treatments while on the way to the hospital.

Police and death row inmates agree on one thing, a law enforcement group told its members: They both oppose next week's ballot measure to replace the death penalty with life without parole.
That statement, in a newsletter from the Los Angeles Police Protective League opposing Proposition 34, highlighted what some California criminal defense lawyers have been saying for months.
Many death row inmates who are years away from execution would rather gamble on being executed than lose their state-paid lawyers, a preference that seems to be confirmed by a limited, informal survey of some on California's death row.
VOTER GUIDE: 2012 California Propositions
"That is a significant sentiment, since the death penalty in California is mostly life without parole anyway," said Don Specter, director of California's Prison Law Office, who personally supports the initiative. "So the chances of them getting executed are not that high, and if Prop. 34 passes, their cases will be treated differently."

What: CWA Panel "Immigration: My Land or Our Land"
When: 9 to 10:20 a.m. today
Where: UMC Center Ballroom, University of Colorado campus
More information: colorado.edu/cwa
As Conference on World Affairs panel topics go, immigration is an especially timely one to get the 65th annual conference started on its first day.
The panel "Immigration: My Land or Our Land" will give its four panelists the opportunity to discuss an issue at the forefront of the national conversation in recent weeks, with both houses of Congress reportedly working on legislation to reform the beleaguered U.S. immigration system.
Among those expressing optimism that a bipartisan agreement may be struck on the issue in the near future is the U.S. congresswoman from Arizona's ninth district and second-time CWA participant, Kyrsten Sinema.
Sinema, D-Phoenix, said she hopes to discuss possible federal legislation as part of the "Immigration: My Land or Our Land" panel.
"I'm excited about a dynamic conversation," said Sinema, who grew up Tucson, Ariz. "Nowhere do we feel the need for immigration reform more acutely than in Arizona. We have to do something this year."
Three things Sinema said she would like to see addressed in legislation are a mechanism for securing the borders, a way to address the future flow of immigrants and a resolution of the situation for the estimated 11 million to 12 million people already living in the U.S. illegally.
She favors a market-based system for allowing immigrant workers to come into the country, as opposed to the rigid quota-based system now in place. At the same time, she feels border control officials should be provided with the resources to manage the flow and discern between those people coming to the U.S. seeking honest work and those seeking to engage in illegal activities, such as drug and gun smuggling.
"If we create a legal mechanism to allow people to come to this country and work, the good people who want to do good will use the legal mechanism," she said.
While Sinema plans to focus on the big picture of immigration, fellow panelist Arthur Grim believes his most valuable input for the conversation will be on the micro scale.
Grim is chairman of Pennsylvania's Juvenile Court Judges Commission and a senior judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Berks County, Pa. Previously, he gathered and led a steering committee dedicated to addressing the issue of disproportionate minority contact with the juvenile justice system in Berks County.
Over the past 20 to 30 years, Berks County has seen a major influx of immigration from South and Central America, to the point where 85 percent of the student population in its largest urban school district is Hispanic, Grim said.
"It offers challenges and it offers opportunities," he said. "I run into kids in my courtroom all the time whose parents are essentially destitute. Many families of immigrants have absolute zilch access to programs and opportunities that citizens have."
Grim indicated he wants to see greater access granted to the nation's deferred action program.
The program provides a two-year deferment of deportation action for immigrant youths that fit the criteria of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors -- or DREAM -- Act.
Grim said there was a young woman from Berks County who could not accept a scholarship to Bryn Mawr College, despite being at the top of her high school class, because she was an immigrant brought to this country by her parents. He said she should be eligible for a green card.
Sinema employs a DREAMer in her Arizona office.
Nina Alvarez and John Tirman will join Sinema and Grim on the panel.
Alvarez is an award winning journalist, filmmaker and video photographer whose projects include "The News Americans," a PBS documentary set to debut later this year that focuses on Latino-Caribbean migration to the U.S. from World War II through the 1970s. Tirman is the executive director of the Center for International Studies at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology.

I'll start things out:
Why is it so popular that a haunting has to be on land of an indian burial ground? Especially when it followed by not being haunted by Native Americans?
Why are ghosts never really very old? It seems that the ghosts reported only seem to go back to 'modern history.' Why is that? Don't cavemen have ghosts?
Feel free to expand on these, answer these, or post your own hypothetical questions for others to ponder.
Posted 25 January 2009 - 08:53 AM
Why are ghosts never really very old?
I believe in reincarnation. I believe that ghosts show us an impression of their most recent incarnation. I think this is because their most recent incarnation would be their strongest memories of who they were. For example, it is much easier for us to recall events of our current lifetime than events of previous lives. Another example would be the impression you get when you meet a person. We often have a sensation of positive or negative.
Posted 25 January 2009 - 09:34 AM
2. Since I don't believe the traditional explanation for ghosts (dead souls left behind) I have different reasons to explain the ages of ghosts Using the four explanatns I do believe may account for them I can give the following reasons. In each case the reason is different.
a. Residual Energy as a cause. Over time this energy would deplete or "run down" Consequently older ghosts would be less likely to appear.
b. Spirits returning with a message. Since I don't believe any are stuck here, rather they may be allowed to return for a specific purpose, it becomes a matter of relavance. Suppose a spirit was returning for the purpose of bringing some form of closure, it would be much more likely it would be a close relative rather than a 15th century spirit from 10 generations back.
c. Demons. These would be a matter of relavance as well. If a demon was attempting to gain your following it is more likely it could deceive you by appearing as someone more like you than someone dressed in caveman loincloths. Since these are ageless, they could appear as anything, but choose to be what they feel is most effective for their purpose.
d. Interdimensional beings. These likely would appear as anythng. they could account for the cloaked figures, etc. some report seeing. As with the demonic, we really can't give them an age. They coul be literally thousands of years old but appear as we see them. They don't attempt to conceal their appearance therefore the age can't be determined. They may hgave ben around since caveman days only we wouldn't know it by its appearance.

Posted 25 January 2009 - 12:49 PM
Mystic Hippy, so you mean that ghosts can stick around for a certain length of time and then are reincarnated?
If we wanted to get biblical, we could probably add one more explanation:
I am not an expert on the end-times, but isn't it marked by a time when no more souls make it into heaven and therefore no more souls can return to life? Maybe someone more familiar with that can correct that a bit. If I am at least somewhat accurate, we could have been approaching the end times for some time now with souls left roaming the earth.
Here's some more, then:
Why don't we hear much from ghosts about what the afterlife is like? Is this really because they do not know that they are dead? If they didn't know they were dead, how would they know how to 'haunt' people?
Posted 28 January 2009 - 12:26 PM
Why is it so popular that a haunting has to be on land of an indian burial ground? Especially when it followed by not being haunted by Native Americans?
Of the many paranormal cases that have been documented, I'm not so sure that the overwhelming majority of them have been tied to Indian burial sites. I think that - as you put it - it's popular to connect a documented haunting to the fact of Indian burial proximity, if one can possibly (even tangentially) be made. You can blame the lazy creatives of Hollywood for that. It's easier to toss out a tried and true cliche, than to have to sweat over a new and innovative plot premise.
Why are ghosts never really very old? It seems that the ghosts reported only seem to go back to 'modern history.' Why is that? Don't cavemen have ghosts?
You have to keep in mind that whatever we've been able to actually document, in this realm, is likely only the very tip of the iceberg. Think of the millions of dinosaurs that weren't preserved and discovered as fossilized bones, and the truth of what actually may exist, beyond what bothers to make itself known to us, is pretty staggering.
There is also the aspect of a belligerent personality, and what that brings to the table when considering the "recipe" for a spectral manifestation. It is the personality of the individual that thwarts the natural process, and begins the potential for an "earthbound" spirit. The more primitive, and ignorantly trusting, the individual, the less likely that the individual will battle the "natural" urge to follow the path of least resistance once corporeal existance has ceased to be the driver. Ancient people had blind faith in their gods and demons. They also had faith in the premise that they were not the rulers of their own lives, so why should they have suddenly taken charge of their afterlives? Wouldn't happen, and in those very rare cases that one might, how long would it have lingered?
The human race has had their "ghost stories" and "spirit elders" since they opened their mouths to do something other than eat, drink and grunt. They'd have only lingered for the few that they knew, if they'd lingered at all. Humans lived in small pockets, isolated from other pockets in the early years. Not much reason to fight the natural flow of things for very long in that case.
As for my own wondering, who was it that decided that these are spirits? If water can be liquid, vapor or solid depending on temperature, then why can't the human psyche become different physical manifestations depending on external circumstance, without there being a complete paradeim shift of this sort? Why can't "spiritual" just be seen as a different kind of physical form? 300 years ago, viruses were "spiritual". Now they've become physical as we've become capable of seeing them with our technology. Why do we stubbornly hold onto the beliefs of people that knew less about their world that a 10 yr old knows about it nowdays?
Also, if ghosts have no actual human brain anymore, can they learn? That weeping widow who's been at the window for the last 400 years, is she actually a human in "spirit form" or is she something entirely different, even if she is capable of "intelligent" interaction?
Posted 28 January 2009 - 02:01 PM
Wow, you brought alot of them to the table. I'll take a stab at a couple of them:
1. Who says they are spirits? Well, I think this is probably because many of the appearances have been people that the observer recognizes that has passed away or has been historically researchable. I suppose it could be true that they are not ALL spirits of dead people.
2. Ghost don't have a human brain. That one is a much more puzzling question, I think. We have scientifically proven that learning is a process of the brain. However, if one is to believe that our brain is really just a transceiver for our soul, maybe all we are really looking at are the data behind processed and transmitted. Very good question, though, and forces us to assume an answer not easily explainable or measureable.
What do you think?
Posted 28 January 2009 - 02:20 PM
Posted 29 January 2009 - 01:04 PM
I believe the brain is for survival functions. There are parts of our brain that send signals to the corresponding parts of our bodies when we are hungry, tired, thirsty, scared, hot, cold, hurt, etc...all of these signals result in a physical response that acts as a sort of alarm system. If I put my hand in a boiling pot of water, my brain is going to register and signal that the water is HOT...I feel pain and pull my hand out. Survival instincts come from these processes as well, such as the well-known "fight or flight" response.
But...what part of our brain has ideas, what part is capable of thinking novel thoughts and creating things from our own imaginations? What constitutes creativity? Our consciousness is what does these things. It still baffles scientists and biologists as to what makes up the human consciousness. It certainly isn't a physical characteristic, but yet it is what separates human beings from everything non-living. After all, everything on Earth is made up of pretty much the same stuff, on a molecular level. I'm not that much different from dirt, in a scientific sense (no jokes, guys lol). Consciousness, or what some call a mind or soul, is entirely different from the brain...some might even propose that the brain is a product of the consciousness (but that's a whole new discussion in itself).
So, what happens to the consciousness upon death? I believe that if we ascribe to the typical definition of ghost as a deceased human being, it is their consciousness that survives the physical death, and that consciousness is entirely independent of the brain that houses it in this life.
Any other thoughts?

Maybe they do, and that's why people report *seeing* Sasquatches and the like, but never find anything. Or not, but it's a thought.

1.)Continuation - it would seem that a person's intellect and personality are two key traits when people report having experienced and interacted with a haunting, and I honestly believe in the idea that these two traits somehow survive the death of the physical body. This energy form is suddenly not limited to the same rules of physics that you and I are, and therefore cannot comprehend what has happened to them, nor do they understand why they are impeded in their attempts to interact with their surroundings and even the passage of time is a linear sense.
2.)Environment determines manifestation - certain geophysical and environmental factors can and do influence the ability of these wayward personalities and their ability to interact in it. Whether it's a higher than normal fluctuation in the Earth's own magnetic field altering the environment in such a way that it naturally interferes with our laws of physics or some yet undiscovered outside influences between the dimensional barriers, something is happening that optimizes the environment in such a way that we are able to perceive these personalities, and vice versa, in any myriad of ways.
By sticking to these ideas, I can focus on the environment in an area where activity is reported and start laying a foundation for the way I research them in the future.

This also increases the validity of taking a psychic along with you. Since you are focusing on the environment itself, and not the ghost, it would help to have a psychic with you that can say "There is someone present in THIS room." And then you can compare the data with other rooms.

I was talking to a member of my team about this topic and he's got some interesting ideas:
1. the "evolution of the human soul": maybe the immortality of the soul didn't exist from the beginning, but evolved after some time (I hope my explanation is understandable).
2. Most people are probably a bit embarrased when they have to tell someone about their ghostly encounter. And it's even more difficult to talk about the sighting of a "Homo habilis" ghost...
3. If it's residual, then the explanation could be that the energy which caused the residual haunting is only active for a certain period of time, like a battery.
4. If you believe in reincarnation, then maybe ghosts are souls waiting to be reborn...
I think that theory Nr. 2 is quite convincing.
There are quite a few stories about Roman ghosts by the way.

YMCA to host Partners with Youth Kickoff
The Boonslick Heartland YMCA will hold its annual YMCA Partners with Youth Kickoff on Friday, March 15 at the YMCA location at 757 Third Street. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and last until 8 p.m.
This event will feature a potato bake sale and silent auction.
"This is a nice event for the YMCA to raise dollars for those kids that need a little assistance participating in programs like summer camp and youth sports. The generosity of this community really shows with this event. We'll have over 100 items for silent auction that were donated from various businesses and individuals. It would be very difficult for the YMCA to offer our programs and services without the support of the Partners with Youth," stated Executive Director of the Boonslick Heartland YMCA Matt Schneringer.
He stated the evening will start off with the Boonville High School Silver Pirate band providing entertainment along with good food, atmosphere and separate activities for the children.
"All dollars raised from this event will go towards our financial assistance program that allows youth and families scholarship dollars for our programs and membership. Our goal with events like this is to use these dollars to reach out to more youth and provide opportunities that they normally might not have due to their financial situation," Schneringer stated.
For more information about the event e-mail email@example.com or call 660-882-8500.

Preserving forest access for the future
The Minnesota Forests for the Future program worked with The Nature Conservancy of Minnesota to complete several land protection projects totaling nearly 12,000 acres. These projects included the Koochiching 4 and LaMinora conservation easement projects and the LaMinora, Checkerboard, and Snake River fee title acquisitions. Funding for future projects will be possible through a $4.5 million Outdoor Heritage Fund grant from the Minnesota Legislature following recommendations of the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council. Minnesota Forests for the Future also developed and refined a mapping tool to help identify and prioritize future forest conservation protection efforts.
Response to natural disasters
In 2012 the DNR dealt with historic flooding in east-central Minnesota, destructive winds affecting the state's northern forests, and a drought that culminated in severe wildfire conditions. DNR staff worked with local governments in the Duluth area following the June storm in northeastern Minnesota to address emergency infrastructure repairs for roads and culverts. Staff continues to assist local governments with stream restorations in the area to minimize winter recreational impacts in municipal parks and regional spring flooding. DNR staff also responded to two major wildfires this fall: the North Minnie Fire in Lake of the Woods County that burned 27,000 acres, and the County 27 Fire near Karlstad in Marshall and Roseau counties that burned 4,480 acres and destroyed 11 homes. DNR crews also were deployed to help with the effects of Hurricane Sandy.
Recreation construction projects
The DNR broke ground on the new Lake Vermilion State Park near Tower. Also, the agency constructed 3.8 miles of the Gitchi-Gami Trail and completed construction on the Agate Bay public access, both along the North Shore. Other projects underway include the McQuade Safe Harbor access shelter, a new Bear Head Lake State Park trail center, and a new Paul Bunyan trail bridge over Highway 197 in Bemidji.
Prairie and grassland management
DNR led efforts to implement a major plan and new strategies for prairie and grassland conservation. Multiple agencies and non-profit organizations signed a Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan memorandum of understanding. DNR is leading efforts to develop a plan to coordinate and track efforts to protect, restore and enhance Minnesota's prairie. Conservation livestock grazing on wildlife management areas is an emerging area of collaboration with Minnesota Department of Agriculture, Board of Soil and Water Resources, federal agencies, cattle ranchers and non-profit organizations. The DNR hopes to increase the number of public lands being grazed from 10,000 to 50,000 by 2015.
Aquatic invasive species
The DNR implemented new watercraft inspection authority and increased enforcement in 2012. The agency entered into joint powers agreements with 18 local governments to further expand inspection and education programs. Working collaboratively with local governments, DNR staff responded rapidly to reported discoveries of new infestations and dramatically increased public outreach efforts, including a new documentary on aquatic invasive species. The agency beefed up its training efforts with volunteers, lake service providers and others to help the DNR curb the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Asian carp
The DNR aggressively expanded its efforts to prevent and curb the spread of Asian carp. DNR worked with partners to plan, design, modify and/or install more effective barriers for Asian carp in southwestern Minnesota and helped fund a barrier in Iowa to keep carp from entering Minnesota. DNR is working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop a preliminary design for a barrier at Lock and Dam # 1.
Firsts in wildlife management
The federal government removed the wolf from the list of threatened and endangered species on Jan. 27, 2012. Subsequently, the DNR initiated its first-ever regulated wolf harvest seasons after wolf legislation was included in the Game and Fish bill signed by Gov. Mark Dayton. In response to longstanding hunter concerns about the negative impact of waterfowl regulations on hunting success, the DNR made a second round of significant changes to waterfowl season regulations, including zoned seasons and an earlier opener. Early reports indicate waterfowl hunters enjoyed a good season.
Engaging people in the outdoors
DNR introduced several thousand new people to Minnesota state parks, trails and outdoor recreation through the "I Can!" series of skill-building programs. A total of 877 people participated in the overnight "I Can Camp!" programs in 2012, up 51 percent since the program began in 2010. Another 650 people participated in "I Can Climb!" and 260 participated in "I Can Paddle!" The DNR also exceeded its target of 1,000 trained Master Naturalists. The Master Naturalist program, a partnership with the University of Minnesota Extension, creates a network of skilled volunteers to help with natural resource projects and increase Minnesotans' understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
Enhancing hunter access to private lands
The federally funded Walk-In Access program completed its second year of the pilot program in 2012. At least 12,500 private acres of pheasant, small game and deer habitat will be open for public hunting in 21 southwestern counties through 2015. The program started with 9,117 acres in 2011. The agency is considering expanding the program to an additional 15 counties and is exploring options for funding through hunter fees.
Enforcement academies
The DNR held two conservation officer academies and hired 16 new officers, which were the first new hires for the Enforcement Division since 2008. The new officers include seven military veterans, two women and one person of color. The first group of new officers is now at new field stations across the state, while the second group will be on duty in March 2013.

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Probably Not Effective Treatments
Essentially, angina is a muscle cramp in the heart—the one muscle that cannot take a rest. It develops when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen for its needs from the arteries that supply it: the coronary arteries. Angina is, therefore, a symptom of coronary artery disease. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of coronary artery disease; it causes thickened arterial walls and impaired blood flow.
People usually experience angina as a squeezing chest pain, as if a heavy weight rested on the chest or a tight band wrapped around it. This is often accompanied by sweating, shortness of breath, and possibly pain radiating into the left arm or neck. Usually, angina is brought on by exercise—the more rapidly the heart pumps, the more oxygen it needs. Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) is the most common cause of angina.
People with angina are at high risk for a heart attack , and treatment must take that into account. Drugs that expand (dilate) the heart's arteries, such as nitroglycerin, can give immediate relief. Other drugs help over the long-term by making the heart's work easier. It is also important to slow or reverse the progression of atherosclerosis by treating high blood pressure and high cholesterol and by reducing other risk factors. Surgical treatments (such as angioplasty and coronary artery bypass grafting) physically widen the blood vessels that feed the heart.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Angina is a serious disease that absolutely requires conventional medical evaluation and supervision. No one should self-treat for angina. However, alternative treatments may provide a useful adjunct to standard medical care when monitored by an appropriate healthcare professional. We intentionally do not give dosages in this section as they should be individualized by your doctor; however, you can find general guidelines in the separate articles on each substance.
Note: Because angina is usually caused by atherosclerosis, other relevant information may be found in the Atherosclerosis article.
The vitamin-like substance L-carnitine might be a good addition to standard therapy for angina. Carnitine plays a role in the cellular production of energy. Although carnitine does not address the cause of angina, it appears to help the heart produce energy more efficiently, thereby enabling it to get by with less oxygen.
In one controlled study, 200 individuals with angina (the exercise-induced variety) received either a daily dose of L-carnitine or were left untreated. 1 All the study participants continued to take their usual medication for angina. Those taking carnitine showed improvement in several measures of heart function, including a significantly greater ability to exercise without chest pain. They were also able to reduce the dosage of some of their heart medications (under medical supervision) as their symptoms decreased.
Unfortunately, the results of this study can't be fully trusted because it didn't use a double-blind, placebo-controlled design. (For information on why double studies are so important, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? ) A smaller trial that did use a double-blind, placebo-controlled format evaluated 52 people with angina. 2 The results showed that daily use of L-carnitine significantly improved symptoms as compared to placebo.
Other studies (both single- and double-blind) used a special form of L-carnitine called L-propionyl-carnitine, and researchers found evidence of benefit. 3-6 Consult with your physician regarding dosage and specific safety issues.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full L-carnitine article.
Magnesium has actions in the body that resemble those of drugs in the calcium channel blocker family , although much weaker. Since these drugs are useful for angina, magnesium has been tried as well.
In a 6-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 187 individuals with angina were given either daily oral magnesium or placebo. 17 The results showed that use of magnesium significantly improved exercise capacity, lessened exercise-induced chest pain, and improved general quality of life.
Similarly, two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, enrolling a total of about 100 people with coronary artery disease found that supplementation with magnesium significantly improved exercise tolerance. 18,24
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Magnesium article.
Other Proposed Treatments for Angina
A one-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial of 58 people evaluated the effectiveness of the herb Terminalia arjuna for angina by comparing it against placebo, and the standard drug isosorbide mononitrate. 16 The results indicated that the herb reduced anginal episodes and increased exercise capacity. It was more effective than placebo and approximately as effective as the medication. A subsequent 3-month study compared the effectiveness of Terminal arjuna against placebo in 40 people with a recent heart attack . 22 All participants in this study suffered from a particular complication of a heart attack, called ischaemic mitral regurgitation. The results showed that use of the herb improved heart function and reduced angina symptoms. Another study found benefits with an Ayurvedic herbal combination containing Terminalia arjuna . 19
Preliminary evidence suggests that the amino acids arginine7,14 and glutamine 15 might improve exercise tolerance in angina. Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10 ) is best known as a treatment for congestive heart failure, but it may offer benefits in angina as well. 8
N-acetyl cysteine may be helpful when taken along with the drug nitroglycerin, but severe headaches may develop. 10-12
Results are conflicting on whether the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are helpful for people with angina. 23
The herbs hawthorn , khella, and Coleus forskohlii are often recommended for angina by herbalists, but as yet there is no meaningful evidence that they work. Vitamin E has been found only slightly effective at best for angina, and beta-carotene may actually increase angina. 13
Chelation therapy is widely promoted for the treatment of angina, but there is no meaningful evidence that it is effective, and some evidence that it is not. 9,20,21
In a randomized trial of 66 adults with angina, 4 weeks of daily Chinese herbal Shenshao tablets (containing ginsenosides and white peony) were found to reduce angina frequency and improve quality of life scores. 26
The addition of safflower oil injections to conventional medications was associated with more than 50% decrease in the number of angina attacks in a review of 7 randomized trials involving 1,134 people with unstable (irregular) angina. Unfortunately, the trials were of low quality, which can affect the overall results. 27
Herbs and Supplements to Use Only With Caution
Various herbs and supplements may interact adversely with drugs used to treat angina. For more information on this potential risk, see the individual drug article in the Drug Interactions section of this database.

To pause and remember the attack on Pearl Harbor 71 years ago, a dedication ceremony was held at the Oklahoma Veterans Memorial in Shawnee Friday morning, where the USS Oklahoma replica anchor on site was dedicated.
To pause and remember the attack on Pearl Harbor 71 years ago, a dedication ceremony was held at the Oklahoma Veterans Memorial in Shawnee Friday morning, where the USS Oklahoma replica anchor on site was dedicated.
Attended by several high-ranking military officers, including two Generals and a Navy commander, the event drew a crowd to Woodland Veterans Park.
U.S. Navy Veteran Tom Schrzan, a member of the Veterans Memorial Committee, said the anchor is a full scale exact replica of the one that was on the Battleship Oklahoma when it was sunk by the Japanese during the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941.
A total of 429 sailors and Marines on the USS Oklahoma were killed in the Sunday morning attack, Schrzan said, while more than 2,300 died that day.
"To these brave souls, we must say eternal thanks," he said.
U.S. Navy Commander Mark Genualdi also addressed the crowd about the Pearl Harbor attack.
"There's a handful of moments in U.S. history," he said, adding Pearl Harbor is one of those.
As far as the "phenomenal" work done on the Shawnee memorial and park, Genualdi said, "mission accomplished" to those involved.
"It's well done and you should be proud of it," he said.
The commander said he and a group of sailors first visited Shawnee earlier in the week and spent time sharing stories with veterans. As he spoke about the Pearl Harbor attack, he said, "The U.S. got hit in the mouth that early Sunday morning."
"That anchor stands for a lot — 429 sailors and Marines on the Oklahoma that day," he said, calling Pearl Harbor "one of the darkest hours in our nation's history."
But that, and the battles that followed, make him think of the sacrifice, honor and courage of those who bravely fought, he said.
"I am proud to wear the same uniform," he said. "Let us never forget."
Mayor Wes Mainord spoke about the memorial and its construction with more than $300,000 in citizen-raised funds.
Mainord recognized Randy Gilbert of Gilbert Trucking Co., for hauling the replica anchor from Minnesota to its new home in Shawnee. Also honored, but not present, was Dan Climer for securing the iron bell at the memorial used during veterans ceremonies.
The mayor also recognized retired Brig. Gen. Pete Costilow, who served a key liaison in making sure the memorial received two 105mm Howitzers now on display at the memorial. Also honored for the Howitzer effort was Major General Myles Deering, commander of the Oklahoma Army and National Guard.
Deering, who spoke to the crowd, said he received too much credit for his role and praised the soldiers. Deering said he's privileged to be in command at a great time in history, as those in the military have received more recognition than ever before.
He also took a moment to recognize a group of veterans that never received enough recognition when they came home, he said, as he asked the Vietnam veterans to stand.
"Thank you to each and every vet here — we certainly live in a country that recognizes its veterans," Deering said.
As he spoke of the Howitzers, Deering said the newer versions being built are not made to wage war, but to ensure "peace of this great nation."
"We don't use these until we feel our freedoms or liberties are at risk," he said. "We don't do it to gain land, riches or resources…we do it to maintain our freedom in this great land."
Deering mentioned the "Greatest Generation" of World War II veterans for all they endured, the Korean veterans for time spent in the frozen climate during conflict, the Vietnam Veterans for their fight in the jungle and those serving today in the heat of the deserts.
Deering said it's important to remember veterans.
"Don't ever forget them — don't ever forget to say thank you," he said.

Nancy L. Cope, in her letter to the editor of Jan. 8, said she feels robbed because words have changed meaning. I know where she's coming from. It would be great if words never changed meaning. However, it would seem it's a losing battle.
There are many words that have acquired new meanings in my children's lifetime. I guess those word hijackers needed to ruin perfectly good words to describe their newfangled notions: "spam," "cell," "thread," "text," "server."
It's balderdash ("balderdash" used to mean a frothy liquid).
What's happened to the English language is awful (a word that used to mean wonderful, delightful or amazing).
I guess Cope and I will just have to be brave (once meant cowardice) and denounce (to give official information) this word evolution.
I suppose we'll just have to grin (show the teeth as a sign of anger) and be content with the knowledge that we word geeks (a performer who engages in bizarre acts) are fond (foolish) of what used to be.
But I do need to point out one problem with the word "gay." If we trace it back further than Cope's "gay apparel," we'll find that "gay" also once meant "(Of women) leading an immoral, or a harlot's, life."
In a dynamic and living language, words change as people change. I guess we'll just have to adapt.
Or, if Cope would like, we can take up a dead language like Latin but, then, alas, it would no longer be dead and it, too, would change.
I guess that's how we got to where we are.
There's more to Cope's anger than word usage. She's a culture warrior.
Good luck to her on that front, too.

Summary View help for Summary
The Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ) is the only data collection effort that provides an annual source of data on local jails and jail inmates. Data on the size of the jail population and selected inmate characteristics are obtained every five to six years from the Census of Jails. In each of the years between the full censuses, a sample survey of jails is conducted to estimate baseline characteristics of the nation's jails and inmates housed in these jails. The 2008 Annual Survey of Jails is the 21st such survey in a series begun in 1982. The ASJ supplies data on characteristics of jails such as admissions and releases, growth in the number of jail facilities, changes in their rated capacities and level of occupancy, growth in the population supervised in the community, changes in methods of community supervision, and crowding issues. The ASJ also provides information on changes in the demographics of the jail population, supervision status of persons held, and a count of non-citizens in custody. The data presented in this study were collected in the Annual Survey of Jails, 2008. These data are used to track growth in the number of jails and the capacities nationally, changes in the demographics of the jail population and supervision status of persons held, the prevalence of crowding issues, and a count of non-United States citizens within the jail population. The data are intended for a variety of users, including federal and state agencies, local officials in conjunction with jail administrators, researchers, planners, and the public. The reference date for the survey is June 30, 2008.

The response rate for the survey was 100 percent for the following critical data items: confined persons (CONFPOP), number of adult male and adult female inmates (ADMALE, ADFEML), average daily population (ADP), and total rated capacity of jails (RATCAP). Extensive follow-up, including additional mail and fax requests and repeated telephone contacts, resulted in a nearly 100 percent response rate for the number of juvenile male and juvenile female inmates (JUVMALE, JUVFEML), and for the number of male and female inmates by conviction status (CONVMALE, CONVFML, UNCONVML, UNCONVFM), and around 95 percent for the number of inmates by race and Hispanic origin (WHITE, BLACK, HISP, AMINDALK, ASIAN, HAWPAC, TWORACE). The response rate for data on admissions to and releases from jail was nearly 90 percent.
