text: mainly valve cause thats all i really play. ok well ive had this problem before and i had fixed it, came down to it being my caviar green 1tb drive, then went out and got a caviar black 1tb, and that had fixed it for a while. now its sort of back. this time it happens once in a blue moon. and does it weirder than ever. this might end up being a long read but i want to get this out of my life once and for all. Well before i changed drives i have done multiple testing when i had the caviar green in, and i tryed disabling both my sound cards (on board, and regular sound card), my nvidia drivers were up to date. uninstalled my virus protection. then when i got my new drive i reformatted and everything was working fine (went with older drivers on my nvidia card cause people were complaining about the 19x drivers) but seem to go weird on me again when i installed my ant virus again, which is nod32 smart security 4 (only using the trial for now) haven't uninstalled it again im trying to get it stutter constantly so maybe i can uninstall it and see. but this time it had done it while i was watching 1 of my shows the whole video froze while the sound was still going then came back, that never happen on when it was doing it to me before my reformat and my old drive. also once in tf2 it also had froze like that, where thee audio was still going but the video was stuck. but its main problem is that it freezes for a sec and the audio loops for a sec, only thing is its not constant like it used to be. It used to be once every 10 to 15 mins and the micro stutter would last for no more than a second. now this happens every hour or more or just randomly. i am now wondering if it is my externals cause sometimes they get accessed out of no where, but then i did my own testing while i was in game un plugging both of them and then plugging them back in. next thing im going to try is if it happens again or when it happens again uninstalling nod32, maybe that is accessing something while im in game and making something spin up, or waking all 3 drives up at the same time (since i still have my caviar green 1tb installed but now used as storage) Im really stumpt and this thing is so annoying i cant even enjoy a game, instead im really focused on the screen waiting for it to stutter and trying to notice things around me. my temps are fine as to when it used to happen i would alt tab and have cpu z open and check to see if anything was over heated. also to wondering if this could be a problem in tf2 i get close to 300 frames, but on some maps like the mid area it will drop to as low as 80 i was wondering if that giant of a drop would have any effect. im just hoping its some sort of driver issue and not hardware, i have not updated my bios as to last time i thought that what may have caused the problem. im just running out of ideas people. I love windows 7 to much and im willing to stick it out of this is a problem and just wait for an update, but what is killing me that is it might not be an update it might be hardware. thank you for your time and sorry for the long read it make me feel a tid bit better if we can single out the cpu and say that's not it. this pc is no more than a week or 2 old that's what boggles me, my old rig was perfect but then again it was on xp. specs intel i7 920 (1366) asus p6t (mobo) caviar black 1tb caviar gren 1tb western digital external 1tb (my book) western digitial external 500gb (my book) ocz gold 6 gig ram (1600 mhz) corsair 750w psu asus xonar d2 sound card windows 7 x64bit professional

Occupy Wall Street: Beyond the Rhetoric
north america / mexico | the left | non-anarchist press Thursday October 13, 2011 19:52 by Matthew Flisfeder - The Bullet
One of the distinguishing features of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement is its apparent lack of central leadership. Not only does the movement seem leaderless; it does not appear to be organized around any clearly defined demands. This has been perceived as something quite positive for participants and supporters of the movement, while being the primary point of criticism from opponents, particularly the mainstream media. Clearly, OWS stands against the unfair balance of wealth distribution in the United States (and around the world, for that matter), the unfair neoliberal politics that have swept the globe over the last four decades, corporate greed (especially in the financial sector), and various forms of systemic violence resulting from structural inequalities built into the capitalist system of exploitation. But what media pundits are looking for is something that they can represent: something, that is, with a timeline, that defines when the protestors will be satisfied. This makes OWS qualitatively different from the Tunisian and Egyptian uprisings that took the world stage last winter, popularly touted as the Arab Spring. These groups had clearly defined demands: first and foremost was the overthrow of their political leaders. OWS is distinguished from the Arab Spring to the extent that its definitive aims and goals have yet to be defined.
The movement has gone beyond the various isms, labels that media pundits and the corporate elite find easy to dismiss: communism, socialism, anarchism, Leftism, etc. Commentators outside the United States have started to take notice. CBC business personality, Kevin OLeary made a mockery of himself last week during a live interview with the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Chris Hedges, by referring to him as a Left-wing nut-bar. The more intelligent and articulate Hedges responded by suggesting that most of the protesters are more conservative in the sense that they desire a return to the rule of law in opposition to the radicalism and neo-feudalism of the financial class. O'Leary's frustration in the matter shows that perhaps part of the success of OWS so far can be attributed to the fact that, as the discourse theorist, Ernesto Laclau, pointed out over a decade ago, empty signifiers matter to politics.

Gustine, California (The Weekly Vice) - Maria Galicia, a 26-year-old Gustine woman was jailed after she allegedly took her daughter to the hospital for an ear infection, when an ear infection was the least of the little girl's problems.
According to Gustine police, Galicia brought her 11-month-old daughter in to see a doctor at Memorial Hospital Los Banos Monday after she suspected her daughter had an ear infection. The child was then taken to Children's Hospital for further evaluation.
Investigators say Children's Hospital medical officials inspected the child, and noted that she had several prior injuries including a fractured skull, broken arm, fractured leg and a burn on her. The child's burn marks are believed to have been caused by heated hair straightener.
Galicia was booked into Merced County Jail on suspicion of child endangerment likely to produce great bodily harm or death. She released after posting $50,000 bail.
She was arrested again Tuesday afternoon after further investigation by detectives on suspicion of aggravated assault. She is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.
The child is now in protective custody.

I want to take my wife to the July 4th weekend series against the Cards and want to "splurge" for great seats for one of the games. What have been your best experiences with premium seats and are some over-priced for the view/ammenities?
I want to take my wife to the July 4th weekend series against the Cards and want to "splurge" for great seats for one of the games. What have been your best experiences with premium seats and are some over-priced for the view/ammenities?
The best seats I've had this year were in Section 120. Great view, close to the action and right behind the visitor's on deck circle. I guess the same seats on the other side by the Reds' dugout would be just as great, maybe even better because you're looking straight on at the scoreboard. Scouts Row is really nice too but I'm not sure about the availability of those.
2009 Attendance Record: 7-2
we sat in 132 row 4 last night, and they were very nice! you can see right into the reds dugout, and Bruce walks by within a couple feet of you every inning, they're pretty cools seats! If you check on stubhub you may be able to find something like that close to the field.
Diamond club, rows 1-3. Get there in time to gorge on the included dinner. Otherwise, Club level. The service and amenities are a big hit with the Ladies. If you want to be one of us plebicites, then in front of the smoke stacks in CF. You can see any ball in play, and if close enough, talk to the centerfielder. (They are often reserved for groups, but I scalped some the other day). I forget what the section # is.....
I've sat in the Club Home section before, and I would very much recommend them. When I sat there, though, they were $50, and they're now $95-$100. The Champions Club access might make this worthwhile, though.
I have sat in the scout seats behind home plate. The view level box behind home plate is pretty sweet as well... and not quite as pricey.
"I notice that I'm throwing hard when I hear the crowd gasping," - Chapman
I'd strongly urge against going to the Diamond Club in these economic times. The Reds are short-changing their fans. It is not the experience it was in 2004 or 2006 even.
2009 Attendance Record: 3-5 2010 Attendance Record: 2-9 2015 Attendance Record: 2-0
2011 Attendance Record: 3-4 2012 Attendance Record: 3-4
2013 Attendance Record: 5-2 2014 Attendance Record: 3-1

Online Original: A Talk With Joseph Estrada
Philippine presidential candidate Joseph E. Estrada has a huge lead in the polls for the elections coming on May 11. While Estrada is overwhelmingly popular with lower classes, many members of the business community fear that he may not be able to continue the economic reforms instituted by President Fidel V. Ramos. Business Week reporter Hugh Filman caught up with the candidate and former movie actor on the campaign trail.
Q: What is your stand on the economic reforms begun under President Ramos?
A: We will continue some of the government policies of the President which improved conditions for the people. I can assure you that our administration is committed to free trade and free market institutions, but our dedication to the poor and the helpless will be unwavering.
Q: What will you do for the poor?
A: Aside from education, we have to concentrate on food security to see to it that every Filipino eats three square meals a day. We will do it by concentrating on agriculture. We can do that because our country is an agricultural country, so I will put more emphasis on irrigation, dams, farm-to-market roads, and post-harvest facilities. We'll give tax exemptions on the needs of the farmers like pesticides, fertilizer, chemicals. So we will really go all-out for our agriculture.
Q: Besides agriculture, what are your other economic priorities in this time of crisis?
A: Of course we will encourage industry in our country, but that will be secondary to agriculture. At the same time, of course, we will go out of our way to lower the interest rates. The unemployment problems are getting worse because of these high interest rates. There are so many laborers being laid off. At the same time, there are no factories coming in to put up new business, so we have strategized that at all costs we have to lower the interest rates.
Q: What will you do to try to encourage investment and reassure foreign investors that in this Asian economic crisis the Philippines will keep on growing?
A: We have to regain the confidence of the foreign investors to show them that we can give them a business climate with all the assistance that the government can give, and we will assure them that we will not change the rules in the middle of the game.
Q: What do you say to opponents who say the business community is concerned about an Estrada presidency?
A: These people are the people who are making money under the Ramos administration. They really don't like to have a change of administration because they are already in place making a lot of money. I've talked to several business leaders: the president of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce, the president of ECOP (the Employers Confederation of the Philippines), and so on. I even talked to the president of the stock exchange. They are neutral. Some of them are even for me. This is just black propaganda.
Q: Do you think your administration can make the hard decisions that might make it unpopular?
A: Well that's the advantage I have over all other presidential candidates -- over even the incumbent President. I have the mass support of the people so I can do it.
Q: What about the peace and order issue, which is concerning the business community -- especially kidnappings?
A: I vow that within six months of my presidency, I will restore peace and order in our country. I'll make myself responsible for all of this as President.
Q: What will you do to that you hadn't been able to do as head to the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission?
A: I will tell you these things when I am President. I cannot be very specific now. But I can tell you that I'll do it, and in my experience as the former chairman of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission, I think I know what to do.
Q: President Ramos was very much a hands-on micromanager. How would manage as President?
A: In my experience, I delegate my powers. I make sure that the people around me are competent, dedicated, honest, and know their job. And then once I delegate, they are all answerable to me. That's how I managed San Juan [a part of Metro Manila] when I was mayor and it proved fruitful. I made San Juan a model town.
Q: The poor seem to be your main supporters in this election campaign. Why are the masses so overwhelmingly behind you?
A: Maybe my being a former movie actor contributes to that. But as a public figure, I have my track record: as a Mayor, as a Senator and as Vice-President -- 28 years in public service. I am indentified with them. Most of my projects are pro-poor. Not only during election time. Even before I entered public service, I was the president, chairman, and founder of the Movie Workers Welfare Foundation for the less fortunate members of the movie industry.
When I became Mayor [of San Juan district in Manila], I continued to have pro-poor projects. For example, I provided a [squatter] resettlement area for 1,850 families. I was the only mayor who was able to do that and give them free high school -- way back in 1969. We gave them health centers complete with free doctors and nurses, and free medicine. So these are the things that I have done. And when I was senator, I was the author of pro-poor bills. So I am identified with them in the movies and public service. For 28 years, my track record as a public official remained unblemished. I'm never linked with graft and corruption or any kind of anomaly.
Q: What about the business community? How important is its support to you?
A: They're the engine of growth of our economy, so I'll give them the best climate for running business -- lessen the regulation of the government and the restrictions and so forth. I have to support business because without business where will we get our money to support our projects for the poor? My vision is to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and to build a strong middle class.
Q: Are you expecting strong resistance in doing that from the upper classes of society?
A: I believe so, but then it takes a leader to do that.
Q: Is the masses' support enough to carry you over the top through this election?
A: At this moment, this point in time, yes.
Q: Who are you considering for your economic management team if you are elected?
A: I have my running mate, Senator Angara. We will discuss it. This is our agreement -- that I will consult him from time to time about our economy, about education.
Q: What do you think have been the main issues in this election so far?
A: Economics, graft and corruption, peace and order.
Q: Some critics have expressed concern about your reported vices: drinking, womanizing, and gambling. How do you respond?
A: What vices? I have only one vice now: smoking.
Q: The Lakas party has a lot more candidates overall than your political coalition. Are you concerned that you might get an uncooperative Congress if you come to power?
A: That's part of the leadership by example I'll show the Congress. If the leadership can sacrifice, then I believe the congressmen can also sacrifice. I'll lead by example.
Q: Do you think your support among the masses would help push an uncooperative Congress?
A: Definitely, definitely. If the representatives of the people, the Congress, can feel that I have the support of the masses, I think they would give in because they know that in three years they have to run for reelection.
Q: Are you concerned about negative statements by Catholic Cardinal Jaime Sin that seem to question your fitness to lead and discourage people from voting for you?
A: No, not one bit. Cardinal Sin is expressing his own opinion. He is not expressing the opinion of the Church hierarchy. It is his own opinion and in a democratic form of government, everybody is free to express his or her own opinion.
Q: Are you now fully prepared to be President?
A: I would not even think of running for President if I was not prepared. Of all the presidential candidates, I think I have the most experience because I've been a local executive for 16 years, then six years as a senator and now six years as Vice-President. I have experience attending Cabinet meetings because I was given a Cabinet rank, chairman of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission. So I have all this experience as an executive and a legislator. I think that's my advantage over all the other presidential candidates.

London, Oct 25 (ANI): A huge number of people in Britain are being diagnosed with diabetes in an "epidemic" that is said to be costing the NHS 1million pounds every hour.
Diabetes UK, which collected the figures from GP practices, revealed one in 20 is now being treated for the condition, with 90 percent suffering from Type 2 diabetes, which is fuelled by poor lifestyle and obesity.
As of last year, 150,000 new cases have been reported, which is a six percent rise, and experts are extremely worried by the surge as it mirrors a six percent rise in obesity.
"These figures confirm how appalling the levels of diabetes and obesity are in this country, and they would be even worse if they included children," the Daily Express quoted Tam Fry, of the Child Growth Foundation, as saying.
"Unfortunately, we can expect levels to go up even if in some parts of the country obesity may be being brought under control. The fat are just getting fatter and suffering the consequences of excess weight," Fry added.
Diabetes UK has called for urgent Government intervention, and warned that people with diabetes who do not receive the correct treatment risk blindness, losing limbs and an early death. (ANI)

Wall Street Dips as Traders Cash in Year's Winners
(REUTERS) - Stocks of financial and basic materials companies led Wall Street lower on Tuesday after rallies by those groups this year, while the retail sector hit a record even as U.S. retail sales rose less than expected last month.
The weaker-than-expected gain in January retail sales was due in part to discounting in auto sales, but a rebound in an underlying measure of sales underscored the U.S. economic recovery's strength.
The S&P retail index edged up 0.2 percent to its highest on record.
Bank shares fell before a meeting of euro zone finance ministers on Wednesday to decide on a 130 billion euros bailout for Greece to avert a chaotic default.
Greece is still very unsettled, and it makes perfect sense people are taking money out of financials, said Ken Polcari, managing director at ICAP Equities in New York, citing nervousness about the outcome of Wednesday's meeting.
On Monday, the S&P 500 rose near a seven-month high and was up more than 25 percent from a low in early October. The benchmark index has encountered strong resistance in the 1,355-1,360 area.
The market is not falling apart. People are just taking some money off the table, Polcari said.
Financials led declines on the S&P 500 with a 1.2 percent drop but are up 11 percent this year. Bank of America shares fell 2.5 percent to $8.04 but have risen nearly 45 percent this year.
Basic materials shares, up almost 10 percent so far in 2012, were down 1 percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 31.49 points, or 0.24 percent, to 12,842.55. The S&P 500 Index lost 5.05 points, or 0.37 percent, to 1,346.72. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 13.28 points, or 0.45 percent, to 2,918.11.
Micron Technology shares rose 5.9 percent to $8.31 after positive comments from analysts at JPMorgan and Oppenheimer. The stock is up 32 percent this year.
Moody's Investors Service put Britain's Aaa credit rating in jeopardy for the first time late on Monday. The agency also cut its outlook on the top-tier ratings of France and Austria and downgraded the ratings of six euro-zone nations, including Spain and Italy.
Data from Germany suggested Europe's bulwark economy is picking up its pace. The ZEW economic think tank's monthly poll of economic sentiment jumped to 5.4 from minus 21.6 in January, well above the consensus forecast in a Reuters poll of analysts.
Apple plans to announce a new version of its iPad in the first week of March, a Wall Street Journal report said, citing a person briefed on the matter. Apple shares rose slightly to $503.33 after closing above $500 for the first time on Monday.

It is interesting that Preseli Bluestone does not originate in the area around Stonehenge.
Although there is no way of knowing exactly how these enormous stones got to where they are now, it is known that this crystal originates in the mountains of Wales.
These are powerful stones that will take you on a journey to learn more about your past lives as well as learning more about yourself.
They stimulate courage and may strengthen your willpower if you use them at the solar plexus. They have an easily felt vibration within the throat chakra and the soma chakras.
If you wish to develop gifts such as dowsing or geomancy or are interested in healing the earth, their energy will assist you. Use them to connect to the energy of sacred sites and reconnect to the earth herself.
The energy of these stones may enhance your affinity with the heart of nature, and assist you to make contact with the goddess Asherah.
Other excellent attributes include their action to assist you to discover individuals who are soul friends, sometimes from past lives, and in other cases newly met soul friends.
These stones may help you to overcome problems, as they assist you to face difficulties and challenges with courage and serenity, or at least some degree of composure.
Preseli Bluestone may also assist you to connect with the energy of crystals and become more aware of what they will do to assist you.
These are excellent stones to use boost your psychic gifts. These gifts may be boosted by the vibration of this crystal, and you may begin to receive clearer messages from spirit.
In particular spiritual and psychic abilities such as clairvoyance which is also known as psychic visions and clairsentience, the gift of clear feeling.
These are powerful crystals to use in your daily meditation. For best results, sit facing towards the east, and start by holding one in each hand.
Visualize the energy moving down via the base chakra to the earth star chakra, you will find that they create an excellent connection to the earth.
If you can acquire more than one piece of crystal, it is very powerful to use two pieces of the crystal together.
The energy moves between the two pieces, which is powerful to make a stronger experience.
Using them at the solar plexus or power chakra is powerful for anyone who lacks self esteem or confidence.
They may boost your will power and help you to feel more self assured. These stones have an excellent energy to balance the meridians and this can help you to feel energized.
They can restore your ability to know what direction you need to take your life in, as they encourage clarity of thought. They have an energy that will both calm you and energize you and this will depend on your needs at the time.
As a healing stone they are helpful to heal the immune system, and they may assist health issues associated with the throat area. They are also known to be helpful to aid the healing of small broken bones.
They are known to be a supportive stone for kinesiologists to use, but ensure that the location where the stone is placed is facing east.
This is a quite different grounding experience, as they don't just ground you but create a strong connection to Mother Gaia's energy and the heartbeat of the planet.
They carry an electromagnetic vibration that aligns you with the earths core energy, and with the energy of the Galactic center. They may connect you with sacred sites and powerful energetic vortexes nearby.
Once you are aware of that feeling of connection to the earth, just ask the energy to travel back up through your body.
I find at that point, that by placing one crystal at the sacral or navel chakra and one on the solar plexus chakra, that the energy moves quite quickly up the body, like it is being pulled up from the earth.
Once you feel the energy resonating at your third eye chakra, at that point you may like to move your stone from the sacral up to your throat chakra area.
Having your piece of Preseli Bluestone at the throat chakra is quite powerful.
The energy moves into the areas nearby, including out to the base of the skull and flows out into the thymus or higher heart and to the heart chakra.
I have read that placing a piece either on your soma chakra or at the base of the skull, on your alta major, is helpful to aid the movement of energy up through the body.
It is said that if you place one at the base of the skull that it will harmonize the brain stem and activate the hippo campus. The hippo campus is the part of the brain which is your inner compass, that serves to orient you in the physical world.
The vibration of this stone in that area is easily felt, so it is probably working in this way. Regardless of where you situate the stones, you will most likely experience energy resonating within the soma chakra quite quickly.
This chakra is located between the crown chakra and third eye chakras, and their energy will resonate there even when you have your piece placed lower on the body.
"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." Confucius.
These stones have a strong Merlin energy, that may be emphasized by combining it with Shungite or with Merlinite. You may also like to use it with Jet or any color of Mookaite Jasper, or the deep orange Vanadinite, which are strong stones to make a connection with earth energy.
Strong truth stones to use with it, to boost its energy as a truth telling stone, include Sunstones, which are a well known truth detector, Arfvedsonite, Euclase, Blue Sapphires, Shattuckite or Goshenite also called White Beryl.
Its action to aid your willpower may be helped by combining it with Pyrite stone, Dumortierite, Libyan Desert Glass, Malachite, Orange Carnelian, Sardonyx, Hematite or Pietersite, and by using it at the solar plexus chakra.
Use it combined with specific throat chakra stones, which is the area governing communication, as this may be beneficial for the truth aspect too.
In particular using it with blue stones such as Lapis Lazuli Stone, Blue Lace Agate, Blue Amazonite or Turquoise may benefit you, and help you to recognize when others are being genuine in their communication with you.
To stimulate greater courage, you may like to combine them with Hematite Crystals, Sardonyx, Rhodochrosite, Tigers Eye, Variscite, Moss Agate, Orange Carnelian, Bloodstones or Tiger Iron.

When you buy a new stone or crystal, it is advantageous to use it on its own first. Once you are fully aware of its energy, you may choose to combine it with other stones.
Combine stones for short periods to begin with, as individuals may react differently. Knowing how you can combine various stones may be helpful, as this allows you to get the most from your crystals, and may help you to solve specific problems in your life.

text: Good morning dear Win7 Team! I am writing to you today with a problem I did not find in this (or similar form) in previous threads. The challange should however be a small one... Question (i assume): How do I enter the on-harddrive recovery? __________ For the office we have new Acer Laptop of the model: Aspire 4752G. It comes with a pre-installed version of Win7 Home Basic. Delivery does not incude a Back-up Disk. Here is what happend: When running the Win7 setup (INITAL) everything went smoothly up to the famous point of 'Completing Installation'. There it gave me a quick Bluescreen that didn't allow me to see the nature of the problem and restarted. At the restart the installtion is not complete;the Bios is however trying to run the incomplete Win7. Now when the PC is started, Win tells me to insert the non-existent recovery disk or start normally (or in different safemods). All savemods eventually lead to the PC being stuck on the ACER startup screen, where it remains without any activity. Question: How do I reenter the set-up of a on-hardrive recovery? (Just telling the system to boot from the harddrive does not do the trick) I am very thankfull for a link to a thread that solves this problem (which I didn't see) or an actual solution to the problem. kind regards GPSi

Does Your Cat Need A Feline-only Vet Hospital?
Did you know that not all hospitals are created equal when it comes to treating cats? Some approach felines with a mentality that suggests they're more like small dogs than a separate species with its own unique needs.
For example: hospitals that handle cats roughly, place their carriers next to barking dogs, hospitalize them in full view of slathering canine predators, or — worse still — simply fail to keep up with issues inherent to feline medicine (vaccine protocols, low-stress handling techniques, diabetes management, etc.).
That's partly because studies show pet owners are more likely to spend their hard-earned dollars on dogs over cats — by about two to one. Some vets argue it's hard to get deeply involved with a case when you know a client is likely to nix their cat's proposed treatment based on the fact that "it's just a cat."
But it's also because cats can be tougher to work with. It's my opinion that felines require a little more patience — as do their owners. After all, cat people can be a little quirky … not that I mind, full of my own quirks as I am.
Moreover, some practices are just not set up to handle cats as well as they handle dogs. Barking, in particular, is a huge stressor for cats. And that can be rough for kitties whose vet visits take place across a thin wall from a room loaded with boarding dogs.
Let's be honest: Some cats are better off going to a cat hospital. Not only are feline practitioners, on average, more likely to be up-to-date on issues like vaccine protocols and cat-specific approaches to medicine and handling, but the atmosphere is typically serene compared to dog and cat facilities.
Problem is, these practices are not always available. Nor should you assume that feline-exclusive veterinary practices are always the right choice.
For starters, it's tough to take your dog to one place and your cat to another. It's hard to build multiple relationships with professionals when finding a vet is already such a difficult prospect.
So let's get back to the issue of how many cat-only practices are available in any given municipality. In most major metropolitan inner cities there's often a wealth of opportunities to sample, and a variety of feline practitioners to select from, whereas in places like Miami (for instance), there are only a couple to choose from. The chances that they're far from you is probably quite high — not exactly the best approach during a serious emergency or possible emergency.
Nonetheless, it might be worth your while to give your cat(s) the chance to experience one of these places. If your cat seems inordinately stressed at the vet's, or is acting out aggressively at your average cat-dog hospital, and especially if you're looking for a veterinarian with cat-specific skills, you might want to give this tack a try.
But that's not to say your own vet can't be persuaded to use another room (if the barking is louder in one than another), or that you shouldn't ask for an appointment at a low-traffic time. And it's not even a given that every dog and cat hospital will be noisy and/or cat-phobic/cat-unfriendly.
Still, it's important that you investigate every opportunity to have your feline cared for in the manner you believe she deserves. If that means seeking out a cat hospital, vets like me agree — as much as we like treating cats and would mourn your loss, we want you to be satisfied.
Dr. Patty Khuly


text: The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 08/15/2013 settlement date, which shows a 2,805,171 share decrease in total short interest for CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. ( CBL), to 5,899,043, a decrease of 32.23% since 07/31/2013. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for CBL at the 08/15/2013 settlement increased to 1,519,285, as compared to 1,055,241 at the 07/31/2013 report. That brought "days to cover" down to 3.88, a 52.93% decrease from the 8.25 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release.

Clown Craze - Information for Parents
Unfortunately Hampshire is starting to see incidents reported linked to the international clown craze. We are not alone and most police forces have been called to incidents where pranksters dress as "creepy clowns" to deliberately scare people.
Please be assured that Hampshire Constabulary is taking any reports of incidents seriously and all information is collated centrally. If you have an incident which requires a response or you have information to share, normal reporting systems will apply, call 999 for an emergency or 101 for all other circumstances.
In order to respond to this current craze our Neighbourhood Police Teams have also been asked to increase their patrol activities in the vicinity of schools to provide reassurance. We would, however, also like to ask parents to remain vigilant in the areas where children walk to and from school.
As a school we are want to ensure that young people understand, that we will fully support the police who proactively deal with any offences, relating to people dressed as clowns, who are deliberately seeking to cause harassment, alarm or distress to the communities.
While we do not want to stop people from enjoying themselves, it is important that while having fun, they remember to act in a responsible manner and understand that they could be prosecuted if a criminal offence is committed.
Parent info is an online resource produced by the Government and Police to support parents and guardians with regards to social media related issues. We strongly encourage you to spend sometime going through the various sections on the website.'
If you wish to discuss a related matter with the school please contact the School Main Reception on Tel. no. 02392 364399.
Autumn Staying Safe
As the nights begin to draw in and the mornings are increasing dark, please can I ask that you speak with your child/children about staying safe when they are out and about in the community. It would be appreciated if you could go through with them the following points;
1. Agree the routes they are going to use going to key places, e.g. school and make sure they know them so they don't get lost.
2. Whenever possible, they should travel with another person or meet up with them along the way.
3. If alone, they should stick to well-lit paths and pavements and make sure someone knows where they are going and their route
4. If they change their plans whilst out they must inform someone
5. Use their mobile phone to let people know when they have safely arrived somewhere or that they are leaving a place
6. If they see anything suspicious or are worried about someone following them they must find a responsible adult and tell them immediately.
7. If they are using a scooter or a bike, they must check they are in full working order and it is recommended that they wear a helmet when travelling by bike.
The NSPCC has some excellent guides for parents on this issue. It can be found at the following web address http://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/keeping-children-safe/staying-safe-away-from-home/undefined/preventing-abuse/keeping-children-safe/staying-safe-away-from-home/
It can also be accessed by typing in 'staying safe away from home' in the search box on the NSPCC website.
Reporting concerns about the safety of a child
From time to time parents, carers or neighbours may become concerned about the safety of a child who attends Portchester Community School
If you are concerned that a child is not safe
If you are concerned that a child may not be safe, please contact the school on 02392 364399 and ask to speak to one of the two Safeguarding Leads.
If you think a child might be being abused
If you have serious concerns because you think that a child might be being abused (physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse or neglect) you should contact the Children's Services Department at Hampshire County Council:
* During office hours (8.30am to 5.00pm) you should contact Children's Services either by phone on 0300 555 1384 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
* At all other times you should contact the Out of Hours Service: 0300 555 1373
For all emergency situations please call 999.
There has been an increase in police activity in the areas mentioned and our Neighbourhood Teams will be carrying high visibility reassurance patrols in these area Incidents such as these can have an impact upon the wider community and can only echo the comments contained within the release.
Should a person be a victim of this crime, our advice is to report it immediately to police.

|Update installation requirements from Java 5?
|Wed, 02 Oct 2013 23:51:09 GMT
Greetings dev, The root cause of CONTINUUM-2712<https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-2712>, is not clear at the moment, but when responding to it I couldn't help but wonder if we might want to update the installation instructions on the web site to suggest using Java 6 or later. If it turns out to be caused by a dependency continuum uses that is built with Java 6 or later, I am even more inclined to remove references to using Java 5. It is at end-of-life and will only become more common moving forward. Brent
