My first post, be gentle: Has this been done? A parallel universe where good works so well in tandem with one another (ie: Justice League strategy is perfect) all evil has been exterminated or assimilated, not daring to oppose good. Life's longevity has been extended or all life exists infinitely, therefore habitable planets cannot be found. Therein lies the problem, sustainability for all life is impossible. Superheroes everywhere unite and discover the only way to exist is to destroy life. Necessary evil is the result thus ending universal utopia.

Would be cool if it one day was published, I would pretend I had a hand in it. But the idea of writing a comic makes my head spin, I'll just try my hand in internet posts

Amarillo is considering helping residential sprinkler systems think for themselves.
After a staff presentation at Tuesday's regular work session, city commissioners scheduled a vote next week on a plan to test a subsidy for automatic controls for irrigation systems.
"The rebate would be for the cost of a controller only up to $50," said Floyd Hartman, water and sewer superintendent. "They can cost in a range from $29.99 to a couple hundred dollars."
The rain and freeze sensors turn off irrigation systems when the air temperature is below 37 degrees or if rain is falling.
The proposal, part of the city's Every Drop Counts program, is to cover up to 400 units for sprinkler systems installed before Jan. 1. City regulations already require the controls on systems installed after that.
"This will provide a starting point to see if we've changed people's behavior," said Assistant City Manager Jarrett Atkinson.
The offer would cost up to $20,000. Installation would require a working knowledge of how to install a water fixture or a professional installer, Hartman said.
City staffers are still working on the details of the program, but water customers would have to provide their billing number and proof of purchase if commissioners pass the measure. The city will provide a list of controllers that qualify for the rebate.
Because watering landscapes uses more than 50 percent of water consumed in the city, the printed program guidelines will also include tips for using less water.
Some of the tips include watering deeply and less often, preferably between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., avoiding watering on windy days or if rain is predicted and mowing grass no shorter than 1.5 inches to avoid exposing bare dirt to the sun and wind.

Pope Benedict XVI, who on Monday announced he will resign on February 28, has lived through almost eight tumultuous years as pontiff since his election on April 19, 2005.
Here are some key dates of a pontificate marked by strained inter-faith relations and a series of paedophile priest scandals:
-- September 12, 2006: Benedict angers Muslims worldwide by quoting a Byzantine emperor who linked Islam and violence in a lecture at the University of Regensburg, Germany, where he previously taught theology.
The lecture sparked days of at times violent protests in Muslim countries, prompting the pontiff to say that he was "deeply sorry" for any offence and attributing the outrage to an "unfortunate misunderstanding".
-- November 30, 2006: The pope reaches out to Muslims during a visit to Turkey, assuming an attitude of Muslim prayer while facing Mecca in Istanbul's Blue Mosque.
-- July 19, 2008: Benedict issues a historic full apology to victims of child sex abuse by clergy during a visit to Australia, meeting with four victims two days later.
In April 2008, the pope had already met with abuse victims during a trip to the United States.
-- January 24, 2009: Benedict lifts the excommunication of breakaway traditionalist bishops including Richard Williamson, who claimed there were never Nazi gas chambers and that the Nazis killed up to 300,000 Jews -- not six million.
Criticism from Jewish groups, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and from within the Catholic Church forces the Vatican to demand that Williamson "unequivocally and publicly" change his views before he can be fully readmitted into the Catholic fold.
-- March 17, 2009: The pontiff says distributing condoms in the fight against AIDS "can aggravate the problem" while aboard his plane en route to Africa, the continent worst hit by the disease.
-- May 15, 2009: He concludes a trip to the Holy Land, during which he visited Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Territories, by calling for a two-state solution to end Middle East wars and "terrorism" and slams the Holocaust as "brutal extermination".
-- March 20, 2010: Benedict issues a pastoral letter to Irish Catholics expressing "shame" and "remorse" over paedophile priests and rebukes the Irish Church after explosive government reports reveal systematic cover-ups by the hierarchy.
The crisis in Ireland, which broke out in November 2009, is followed by an avalanche of similar scandals in Europe and the United States.
-- May 1, 2011: Benedict bestows the status of "blessed" on his predecessor John Paul II in front of a million people in a ceremony that puts the late pope one step away from sainthood.
-- May 18, 2011: He calls on Catholics across the world to pray that Chinese bishops refuse to separate from Rome, in spite of "pressure" from communist authorities.
- September 15, 2012: During a visit to Lebanon, the Pope urges Middle Eastern Christians and Muslims should forge a harmonious, pluralistic society in which the dignity of each person is respected and the right to worship in peace is guaranteed.
-- December 22, 2012: Benedict pardons and frees his former butler but banishes him from the Vatican, 12 months after Paolo Gabriele leaked secret papal memos revealing a series of alleged fraud scandals in the Vatican. The embarrassment is called the "Vatileaks" scandal.

Traffic operation bears fruitApril 03,2013
ST. ALBANS The Vermont State Police say a weekend operation designed to encourage safe driving during the Easter holiday weekend resulted in dozens of stops for speeding.
The operation that began Friday focused on areas along the border in Franklin, Grand Isle and Orleans counties with an emphasis on major corridors, such as interstates 89 and 91.
Vermont State Police Assistant Field Force Commander Capt. Robert Evans said highly visible aggressive traffic enforcement can reduce crashes and detect criminal activity.
Among the results of the weekend operation along the border were 94 tickets being issues, including 53 speeding violations and six criminal arrests, but no arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol.

One particular avid TAXI fan assures me that there is actually EXTRA footage in some of the episodes which never made it to the original broadcast. That was actually a sweet surprise, and while these new lines aren't always essential, they are definitely welcomed. (One such instance is when Jim goes back to visit his father. Alex goes with him, and the dialogue between Jim, Alex, and his father is more than when originally first aired. There are several episodes where this is the case, some featuring a extra line or two, others featuring more.)
Unfortunately, while these are not the syndicated versions, there ARE some instances when the episodes have been edited, but these are ONLY due to music right constraints. The episodes "Elegant Iggy" and "Jim's Mario" both feature noticeable instances of the cast singing songs that have been cut, for example.
Yes, it's a shame, but rest assured that the vast majority of episodes (i.e. those without singing) are exactly as they were originally broadcast. Not to mention the fact that (aside from one or two episodes) the show looks and sounds better than it's ever been.
And for those wondering: Yes, the bittersweet comedy still holds up fantastically today. In short: You SHOULD buy this DVD set.
It would be helpful to list whether CC is available or not in the product description.
As for the series it is as humorous and well acted as I remember and for that it still rates 5 stars.

I like this story. Comfortableness of sleeping in car is great value, when it comes to huge, travelling SUVs. Nice twist added changing this advantage in obsession is quite ordinary, but acceptable in such a mass market brand. Agree with those who disliked the ending.
Good acting and cinematography as well.

Most Asian Stocks Advance as China, India Manufacturing Expand
Most Asian stocks advanced as expanding manufacturing activity in India and China tempered concerns that economies across the region and the U.S. may be slowing down.
Tata Power Co., India's biggest electricity generator outside of state control, jumped 6 percent in Mumbai. Shipping stocks rallied on speculation rising cargo rates will shore up earnings. Australian banks fell after a gauge of home prices retreated by a record in 2011. Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ltd. sank 9.6 percent in Tokyo after the machinery maker cut its full-year profit forecast by 28 percent.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index added 0.1 percent to 122.98 at 122.98 as of 7:14 p.m. in Tokyo, with about five shares rising for every four that fell. In January, the measure posted its biggest monthly advance since September 2010 amid bets China will ease lending curbs, the U.S. economy is improving and Europe is containing its debts crisis.
"Economic data from China and India are quite positive," said Yoji Takeda, who manages about $1.1 billion at RBC Investment Management (Asia) Ltd. "The most significant issue for the market is Europe. Assuming the situation settles down, probably the rally in Asian stocks can be sustained."
'Faring Better'
Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average added 0.1 percent, while South Korea's Kospi Index gained 0.2 percent. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index slipped 0.9 percent. India's BSE Sensitive Index lost 0.6 percent as the nation's manufacturing growth accelerated, reducing the scope for the central bank to cut interest rates.
India electricity and steel producers advanced. Tata Power climbed 6 percent to 110.15 rupees in Mumbai. Jindal Steel & Power Ltd., the nation's biggest producer of the metal by market value, jumped 6.3 percent to 576.1 rupees.
Shipping stocks rallied as data from the Shanghai Shipping Exchange showed spot prices for hauling containers to Europe and the U.S. climbed in January from a month ago, bolstering hopes earnings will improve in the first quarter.
"Cargo rates seem to be faring better than what was earlier expected," said Jee Heon Seok, an analyst at NH Investment & Securities Co. in Seoul. "This appears to be raising expectations that first-quarter earnings will probably be better than the previous quarter."
Hanjin Shipping Co., South Korea's No. 1 shipping line, climbed 9.3 percent to 14,750 won in Seoul. China Shipping Container Lines Ltd., the nation's second-largest cargo-box carrier, jumped 15 percent to HK$1.98 in Hong Kong. China Cosco Holdings Co., the country's sector leader, advanced 6.1 percent to HK$4.68.
China Policy
China's Shanghai Composite Index sank 1.1 percent, erasing gains of as much as 0.6 percent, on speculation the stronger-than-expected Chinese manufacturing report today reduces the need for further monetary-policy easing. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index slipped 0.3 percent.
"Some investors may be disappointed because they were hoping for faster easing of monetary policy." said Ng Soo Nam, Singapore-based chief investment officer at Nikko Asset Management Asia Ltd., which oversees about $165 billion. "Signs that the Chinese economy is heading towards a soft landing are a very good scenario."
Chinese lenders and developers declined. Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., the world's biggest lender by market value, slipped 1.3 percent to HK$5.36 in Hong Kong. Agricultural Bank of China Ltd., the nation's third-biggest bank by market value, lost 0.8 percent to HK$3.80. Sino-Ocean Land Holdings Ltd., a China-based developer, sank 4.3 percent to HK$3.82.
Australian banks declined as the nation's house prices plunged by the most on record in 2011 as global economic uncertainty and concerns about its impact at home kept a lid on demand.
Westpac Banking Corp., Australia's second-largest lender, slipped 1.4 percent to A$20.85. National Australia Bank Ltd., the third-biggest, lost 0.8 percent to A$23.66.
Exporters Drop
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index climbed 0.6 percent after falling as much as 0.3 percent today. The gauge retreated 0.1 percent in New York yesterday after a report showed that American consumer confidence unexpectedly dropped in January.
Exporters to the U.S. declined as falling home prices and cooling business activity added to signs the recovery in the world's biggest economy may stall after expanding in the fourth quarter at the fastest pace since 2010.
Li & Fung Ltd., which counts the U.S. as its biggest market, slipped 1.8 percent to HK$16.66. Sony Corp., Japan's largest exporter of consumer electronics, slid 1.9 percent to 1,364 yen in Tokyo after naming Kazuo Hirai as chief executive officer, replacing Howard Stringer after falling behind Apple. Nintendo Co., the maker of Wii game consoles, fell 1.1 percent to 10,230 yen in Osaka.
Sumitomo Heavy slumped 9.8 percent to 440 yen, the biggest decline on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index. The company cut its net-income forecast by 28 percent to 20 billion yen ($262 million) for the year ending March 31, citing the stronger yen and an economic slowdown in China.

We had scheduled some downtime for this evening to release some new features to eteamz. This release has been postponed until further notice. I'm hoping we can get to it tomorrow at the same time, but we'll see.
As you may know, much of the eteamz staff resides in San Diego County. Over the past couple of days, hundreds of thousands of residents have been forced to evacuate due to wildfires in the area. That included myself and some of our development staff. Things are starting to calm down a bit at this point, but life is far from normal.
I hope to have an updated release date ready tomorrow, and I'll post about that as soon as it has been determined. We appreciate your understanding.

Product Description
Make 10 Pillar Candles
This is probably the easiest of all our moulded candles to make and one of the most satisfying. Perfect for you to create your own candles, perfect as a gift. These pillar candles are 10cm (4 inches) high and 6cm (2.5 inches) across the base.
You can choose either standard paraffin wax or ecosoya wax depending on the effect you want. Paraffin wax produces a lovely, translucent, candle with a strong colour. Ecosoya candles, on the other hand, tend to produce pastel colours when used with dye - the can also be made without dye entirely, for a nice ivory effect. We find the eco-soya easier to release from the mould and to produce more pleasing results so we've set that as the default choice.
The kit contains:
- 2 Long life plastic moulds
- 2.3kg Pillar Blend wax
- 2.5 metres (8 feet+) Eco Wick
- 2 Wick holders
- Mould sealer
- 50g of dye
- 100ml candle making fragrance
- Full Printed Instructions (click here to see them)
Shipping for orders is based on their weight - to find out how much it'll cost, add the product to your cart and click "Estimate Shipping".

On Oct. 29, Breeders' Cup Day at Belmont Park, there will be eight Grade I races. On Saturday, there will be four Grade I's run at the big horse park on Long Island: the Gazelle Stakes and Garden City Breeders' Cup Stakes on turf, both for 3-year-old fillies; the Man o' War Stakes on the grass and the Woodward Stakes. They don't call it the Fall Championship Meeting for nothing.
Since the inception of the Breeders' Cup in 1984, Belmont's autumn races no longer crown champions. Instead, they prepare potential Eclipse Award winners for the big day, when the hardware is earned. When the Cup is staged elsewhere, usually Belmont form is overrated, and many New York horses often are overbet losers. This year, with the Cup at Belmont for the fourth time, a race over the track means more, and horses who run big there deserve serious consideration on Cup day.
The $500,000 Woodward, one of the most prestigious races on the New York calendar, tops the first Saturday of the meeting. It features a rematch of Commentator and Saint Liam, who ran 1-2 last month in an epic renewal of the Whitney Handicap, second in importance at Saratoga only to the Travers.
Commentator got loose on the lead on a speed-favoring surface and held on by a neck over Saint Liam, whose trainer, Richard Dutrow Jr., wants to make sure that doesn't happen again. To put early heat on Commentator, Dutrow has entered an entry of rabbits, Show Boot and Crafty Player, as allies for his big horse. Jerry Bailey replaces Edgar Prado on Saint Liam, the 4-5 morning-line favorite even though he's not part of the entry.
"Yes, there is a change in tactics," Dutrow said Tuesday. "I'm going to run a fast one early with [Commentator]. Most likely it will be Crafty Player. He's got plenty of speed and can go three-quarters in 1:10. So that'll be good enough to get the job done for us, I hope."
Gazelle Stakes (1 1/8 miles)
What are the odds that two California-breds would be out on the lead together in a five-horse Grade I at Belmont? It's probably never happened, but that's the likely pace scenario in the Gazelle. Dancing Edie switches back to dirt after three strong grass races out west and should apply pressure early on Leave Me Alone, front-running winner of the 7-furlong Test Stakes at Saratoga. If Leave Me Alone gets clear again, she might last 9 furlongs around one turn. Even though she's never gone this far, she did win a two-turn, 1 1/16-mile ungraded stakes this spring at Hollywood Park. I think she may tire late, so I'll make a lukewarm play on late-running In The Gold, a troubled third in the Test. She's run well in both her starts at Belmont. Unfortunately, she's 0-for-3 (three seconds) at 1 1/8 miles, all in stakes, but one loss was by a nose and another was in the Kentucky Oaks, so she definitely classes up here.
1. In The Gold. 2. Leave Me Alone. 3. Seeking The Ante.
Garden City Breeders' Cup Stakes (1 1/8 miles, turf)
Two European shippers, France's Asi Siempre and Ireland's Luas Line, spice this one up, but I like the home team, My Typhoon, a Bill Mott-Jerry Bailey production. The Garden City is a Grade I in name only, and I doubt anything in here will make an impact on Breeders' Cup day. My Typhoon is game and has good tactical speed, and she worked brilliantly over the Saratoga turf this week. Luas Line is the main danger, although she was only a so-so fourth in her only U.S. race, the American Oaks at Hollywood. She did chase home three standouts there -– Cesario, Melhor Ainda and Singhalese –- and if she handles firm ground better than she did that day, she'd be no surprise.
1. My Typhoon. 2. Luas Line. 3. Asi Siempre.
Man o' War Stakes (1 3/8 miles, turf)
Last month in the Sword Dancer at Saratoga, King's Drama was lone speed, and he used that advantage to set easy fractions and held off Relaxed Gesture by three-quarters of a length in a sprint finish. This time, Relaxed Gesture could have a much easier trip, because instead of chasing the leader he can sit back and watch Shake the Bank, a rabbit for the closer Better Talk Now, go with King's Drama early. Relaxed Gesture isn't as good as Better Talk Now, upset winner of last year's Breeders' Cup Turf, but the race appears to set up for him. He should get first run on Better Talk Now and might be able to fend him off late.
The question marks about Better Talk Now are firm ground (three straight losses) and the course (0-for-2 at Belmont). My main concern with Relaxed Gesture is his three consecutive seconds in stakes, where he's 0-for-5, but maybe this will be breakthrough day.
1. Relaxed Gesture. 2. Better Talk Now. 3. King's Drama.
Woodward Stakes (1 1/8 miles)
With the retirements of Ghostzapper and Roses In May, the 5-year-old Saint Liam has the potential to be the top older horse in North America. To elevate his stature he'd better win this one, and I think he will. In his only previous race at Belmont, last year's Woodward, he lost by a neck to Ghostzapper, who went on to an undefeated season and the Horse of the Year award. Ghostzapper never had to work harder than he did that day, and Saint Liam's job this time should be less taxing. Commentator should get early pressure from Show Boot, Crafty Player and Shaniko, which should set it up for Saint Liam. He'll be odds-on, so this is a race to watch more than bet on. Deep closer Sir Shackleton could pick up the pieces late and is worth a play underneath Saint Liam in exactas.
1. Saint Liam. 2. Sir Shackleton. 3. Commentator.

STATION 25 of the OLD TOKAIDO ROAD
In my quest to see all 53 STATION of the OLD TOKAIDO ROAD, this is station number 25...
He stole money and expensive ornaments only from rich people. Nihon-zaemon was tall & nice looking, and it is said that he was always wearing very fashonable cloths when he did his "job".
After Taisee hokan, or the Restoration of the Imperial Rule in 1868 , there were so many samurai who supported the last shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
However, their lords returned their lands to the Meiji government and thus, they lost their jobs and had to spend miserable lives.
The government took measures for the relief of the previous samurai: reclaiming a huge virgin land to plant tea.
It was not an easy job at all, but their efforts were rewarded; the land became the biggest tea field with the size of 5,000 hectare in Japan.
Distance from Nihonbashi: 207.3 km

(Donald Miralle/Getty Images)Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Malcolm Glazer, who bought the team in 1995, has passed away at age 85, the team announced Wednesday. Glazer, who also owned the Manchester United soccer team, oversaw a franchise timeline that included seven playoff berths and a Super Bowl title.According to the team, the family will retain control of the Buccaneers. Three of Glazer's sons -- Bryan, Joel and Edward -- have taken charge of the team in recent years.One of Glazer's first decisions after purchasing the team was to hire Tony Dungy as head coach in 1996. One year earlier, the team selected Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks in the first two rounds of the draft, and these moves set the Bucs on a path of success that was in sharp contrast to the years before. From 1982 through '96, the team never had a winning record, but won consistently from '97 through the next few years. The decision to fire Dungy and bring in head coach Jon Gruden in 2002 paid off handsomely, as Gruden added traction to a formerly moribund offense, and the defense that Dungy had built thrashed the Raiders 48-21 in Super Bowl XXXVII.MORE COVERAGE: Offseason Report Cards | NFL Power Rankings | 2015 NFL Mock Draft Later years were not quite as successful, and Gruden was sent packing after the 2008 season. The nadir of the Glazer era came in 2012 and '13, when former Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano was hired. Schiano presided over a short era in which paranoia and alienation seemed to be the norm, but the Glazers set that right with the 2014 hire of Lovie Smith -- a successful NFL head coach in his own right and a Dungy disciple. The Bucs seemed to win free agency this year with several astute transactions, and an ostensibly successful all-offense draft may have put them in the hunt for the NFC South once again.Glazer took over the family's watch parts business at age 15 following the death of his father, and built several investments into a fortune over time. He is survived by his wife Linda, six children and 14 grandchildren. "Malcolm Glazer was the guiding force behind the building of a Super Bowl-champion organization," Roger Goodell said in a statement Wednesday evening. "His dedication to the community was evident in all he did, including his leadership in bringing Super Bowls to Tampa Bay. Malcolm's commitment to the Bucs, the NFL and the people of the Tampa Bay region are the hallmarks of his legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Linda, their six children and the entire Glazer family." More Audibles

Looks as if no one knows how to count
"We think it works."
I sure hope they can get that $100,000. back if it doesn't.Hide replies
Republicans sue to get the GAB to apply more stringent methods to validate signatures. The Democrats file petitions with more than one million signatures to recall Gov. Walker. To facilitate that Court ordered task, Democrats acquire and test software to accomplish that task. Instead of being happy the GAB is complying with the Court order, some want to question the process again!!
1M signatures.
Only need 570K.
Do you need software to tell you there are enough signatures?
Nobody honestly believes that 1/2 the signatures will be invalidated.
So what? If you were in Walker's situation, wouldn't you do EVERYTHING in your power to try to delay the recall? Although I doubt this will happen, IF Walker loses the recall election, the Republicans are going to recall whoever gets elected - I guarantee you this because I personally will start a recall effort the very day I am able. When that governor gets recalled, wouldn't you expect him/her to try to avoid it by all means possible?
Yawn. Arguing with Democrats is about as productive as talking to a brick wall.
TellMeTheTruth: "Yawn. Arguing with Democrats is about as productive as talking to a brick wall."
So shut up already.
TellMe, I would suggest that Governor Walker concede to the count and ask that the voting date be set ASAP.
It'll be pretty funny to see how many of those "million" signatures actually show up!
I believe that most are fake. I think there is a good chance you will not meet the requirement. That's honesty speaking if you cant tell the language...
I totally disagree! There may be one or two that don't meet muster, but the vast majority will be upheld ....UNLESS the Republicans can game the system
Walker got 1M
Kleefish got 800K
They make up almost all the signatures that need to be verified, and yet they both have said publicly that they know there are enough signatures. Forcing the GAB to verify 1.8M is fruitless, and wastes money.
Walker/Kleefish should concede that the number of signatures is enough and save the tax payers the money and time that will be spent on the lawyers and gab counters.
That would leave about 100K signatures to validate for the GOP senators.
But you know Walker will not do it. Even if there was only 1 Dem challenger, Walker would run a candidate to force a primary so he can stay in office ruining WI.Hide replies
We could SKIP the recall process altogether, saving the Wisconsin taxpayers the money it will cost to verify signatures (which you sem concerned with) AND the cost of putting on another election (which doesn't seem to concern you). How can you claim to care about the cost to taxpayers and yet still support a recall, which will cost AT LEAST $9million?
All because the Democratic Party in WI is unhappy about who won the election.
"Elections have consequences. I won." -Barack Obama
So true, Mr. President. So true.
Sticking your finger in the democrats eye has consequences too. One of them is being recalled. Actually six of them are.
Here Chucksa, let me fix that for you. "Sticking your finger in the public union's pie has consequences too. One of them is being recalled. Actually six of them are because the union "gots" to get theirs. Taxpayers be damned."
The point of checking the signatures is to show how much fraud the dems put into the recall. Also most people would like to know how they got more signatures in the 2nd half o te recall then the 1st month!Hide replies
Many people didn't turn their petitions in until the end, and contrary to what you may think, the point of checking the signatures is because it is required by law. You sure have managed to fill your head with a lot of nonsense. I feel sorry for you that you can not move on past the lies you have been fed over the past several months, but someday you may be able to move the same old ridiculous comments.
Well - Walker supporters are susceptible to reality Tv and Fox news. It is not without surprise that they are equally susceptible to grasping for straws. Walker is doomed... the high number of recall signatures indicates that a lot of the thinking republicans jumped ship......
waste of time.....the recall is a done deal!The stalling will give and is designed to give more time to walker to get more outside money!Somebody should tell the gOV .THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS!The voters all k now how theyre going to vote already.how successful can any ever be trying to convince another that yoiu made a mistake !
Here we go again!!! Anything to slow down or stop the process! It doesn't matter if it is the recall of the Govenor, the Lt. Govenor or any of the Republican State Senators. It doesn't matter whether it is a sitting Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice who doesn't understand what ethics are? It doesn't even matter if a Federal panel of (3) judges tells you that you have to give the answers and they have to be truthful in the case of how the redistricing maps were drawn and who had knowledge and input! I would be ashamed to say I back this administration, let alone try to defend and explain all these unusual happenings as mere coincidences all while trying to keep a straight face. I can recall a time when Politicians in Wisconsin were honest!!!Hide replies
Yeah, must be back in the socialist days right?
Perhaps we all should just follow the standard legal process as put forth by the WI constitution. I for one want to know how many signatures are valid. I will not vote for Falk, Obey, or Barrett. I might vote for Cullen if he makes it. Fraud is typically 25-40% in statewide petitions like this. That means they should have enough signatures, but I would hate to find out 2 months into the process they did not and have the election in question then. Follow the process, get it done and see where things fall.
Then find a candidate for the democrats that will swear to repeal act10 and has a plan to replace that money that will not cause my property taxes to go up the 580 they went down with act 10, at least they went down that much before MMSD and MATC took a lot more...
Fellas - 1 million recall signatures weight 1.5 tons..... twice the number to trigger the recall against the worthless thug. Fine - spend more of the tax dollar trying to buy time. IDIOTSHide replies
A drop in the bucket compared to what the recall will cost. Thank the unions for that.
A drop in the bucket compared to what the recall will cost. Thank the unions for that.
Republicans can't seem to accept the fact that thousands of people were braving winter to collect signatures. They seem convinced that five people sat around a table and made up 1.9 million signatures. They must be shell-shocked by the number of signatures that were turned.Hide replies
.....thousands of people braving winter cold. So what.
I like to go sledding. So do thousands of others.
Didn't know walker ran the GAB!

Of all the players at the NBA predraft camp in Orlando, Fla., last week, only Jordan Farmar came in with a legitimate chance of being selected in the first round of the NBA draft on June 28 (ESPN, 7 p.m. ET).
While no player dominated in a camp full of second-tier prospects, some did manage to boost their draft stock, either solidifying second-round slots or cementing spots in European leagues.
Here's a breakdown of some players who helped themselves (heights listed are official measurements, without shoes):
Kenny Adeleke | PF | 6-foot-7¾ | Hartford
Though undersized for a power forward, Adeleke did a great job of demonstrating his power and playing physically throughout the camp. Though unorthodox and unpolished, the lefty did yeoman's work on the boards and played within himself, not forcing on offense. Adeleke has a very flawed shooting form once he steps away from the basket and struggles from the line, but he does his best work when making moves around the basket. He has a great motor, and he never took possessions or drills off during the camp. Adeleke may have worked himself into the late first-round mix for the NBA draft. He definitely will have a spot in Round 2.
Morris Almond | SG/SF | 6-6 | Rice (Jr.)
Almond displayed good athleticism and shooting touch in some games during the camp. He has a decent body for an NBA swingman, but he needs to continue to develop his game off the dribble and his shot from long range. He has nice shooting form on his jump shot and is capable of shooting the NBA 3. Almond allowed the game to come to him, getting his points in the flow of the offense as opposed to trying to force the issue. He has to decide whether to remain in the draft or return to Rice for his senior season. With the current buzz, Almond probably should go back to school and improve his stock for next year.
Louis Amundson | PF | 6-7¼ | UNLV
Amundson has a great deal of athleticism and good springs. He runs the court very well and plays above the rim. He also plays hard, crashing the boards on the offensive end just as actively as he rebounds on the defensive end. However, he rates as an undersized power forward who needs to add more tools to his arsenal. He really needs to improve his shooting, as he struggles from the 10- to 15-foot range. His form needs work, as well. He sometimes puts the ball almost behind his head as he shoots. Amundson plays very aggressively, displaying a warrior's mentality. He probably gained a spot in the second round.
Renaldo Balkman | SF/PF | 6-6½ | South Carolina (Jr.)
Balkman, as much as any other player in the camp, made a name for himself through his spirited play. Balkman does a number of small things that do not show up in the box score. The wiry forward displayed a never-ending motor, outhustling everyone on the court almost all the time. On a number of occasions, Balkman grabbed a rebound or stole a pass on the defensive end, then sprinted down the court and scored off an offensive rebound on the other end. Balkman compares favorably to Bo Outlaw, though Balkman has a more reliable offensive game. This guy never seems to tire or give up on a possession. Though wiry, Balkman has more strength than his body would indicate. He battles in the post with bigger, stronger players consistently. He does great work controlling the boards and sometimes starting the break himself by dribbling up the court to find an open player in transition. He seems to handle the ball very well in the open court on the break. He needs to work more on his mid-range jump shot for the next level. Balkman has decent form, but it looks like he needs to speed up the release on his jumper. He has the build of a small forward, so he really needs to develop those types of skills to enhance his game. Balkman has to decide if he will remain in the draft, but he should strongly consider returning to school and improving his stock for next year.
Denham Brown | SG/SF | 6-4 | UConn
There were some moments in Orlando when Brown looked like the best player in the camp. Early on, Brown attempted to place his imprint on this camp. However, he did not sustain that level throughout. Similar to his career at UConn, lack of consistency plagued Brown's play at the camp. At times he demonstrated a devastating mid-range game, looking very effortless shooting the jump shot in the 15- to 20-foot range. He even made some of those shots against good defensive pressure. Brown also showed the same intensity and effort on the defensive end that he played with in college. Brown does not possess the explosion or athleticism that most people look for in NBA wing players. He also needs to continue to work on his ballhandling and long-range shot for the NBA. Brown played himself securely into the second round of the draft, with an outside shot at the end of the first round.
Keydren Clark | PG | 5-9 | St. Peter's
Clark came into camp with a reputation as a shooting guard in a point guard's body. He did little to shed that reputation throughout the week, though he did make an attempt at involving his teammates on the offensive end. Clark shot the ball pretty well throughout the camp, showing the ability to hit the long-range shot when open and the mid-range shot off the dribble. Due to his shooting ability, he did a good job of executing the NBA staple, the pick-and-roll. He also does a good job of utilizing his quickness to get in the lane. Clark did not look as interested on the defensive end and did not show an abundance of true playmaking ability. Clark probably will play professionally in Europe.
Taquan Dean | SG/PG | 6-2 | Louisville
Dean also arrived at camp known more as a shooting guard, though he has the height of a point guard. Though Dean did most of his work offensively when he played off the ball as a shooting guard, he did show he can log some minutes as a point guard when needed. Dean has a good body that absorbs contact when he goes to the basket. He also can shoot from NBA 3-point range with ease. He needs to continue to develop his mid-range game and his skills off the dribble. He needs more work in the playmaking area, as well. Dean may have earned a place in the second round, but he has definitely secured a spot in a European league.
Taj Gray | PF | 6-7¼ | Oklahoma
If Gray measured two or three inches taller, he would rank as a lottery pick and would not have played at the camp. But as an undersized power forward, he needs to prove himself. Gray displayed good offensive skills throughout the camp, scoring in the post with relative ease. He gets off the ground deceptively well and uses his leaping ability to grab rebounds, especially on the offensive boards. He made some spectacular plays during the week, finishing off plays with emphatic dunks. He also did a good job of contesting shots. He needs to add a real go-to move in the post (like a jump hook) and to keep working on his body. He also could use a jump shot out to about 15 feet. Gray fits comfortably in the second round now, with a chance to make the first round.
Bobby Jones | SF/SG | 6-5¾ | Washington
Jones plays an all-around solid game. While he may not do anything that will excite you, he will play solidly in a number of areas. Jones runs the court, providing maximum energy. He shot the ball better than expected, but he still needs work in that area. He also needs to work on his range, as he did not shoot very well from the NBA 3-point line. Though improving, Jones needs to continue to work on his ballhandling, as he will spend his time on the wing in the NBA. Jones has made a name for himself as an exceptional defender, and he did not disappoint in Orlando. He solidified his status in the second round and has a chance at sneaking into the late first round with more impressive workouts for teams.
Brad Newley | SG | 6-5 | Australia
Some scouts compared Newley to Manu Ginobili before the predraft camp began. Though he has a long way to go before he approaches Ginobili's status, Newley does have some of the same tools that make Ginobili effective. He plays the game very unselfishly, sometimes to a fault, passing up open shots to pass to teammates. Though he plays shooting guard, he has the playmaking skills of a point guard. He locates teammates in traffic very well. He has very good form on his jump shot, with a quick release and no unnecessary motion. Newley needs to keep working on his off-the-dribble skills and to develop a pull-up jumper. He has a shot at sneaking into the first round.
David Noel | SF/SG | 6-4½ | North Carolina
Noel shot the ball a lot better than many people thought he would. He looked comfortable shooting from NBA 3-point range, though this part of his game still needs work. He also needs to work on his mid-range game and ballhandling in order to play on the perimeter in the NBA. Noel did show some ability to get to the basket and some fluidity, as well. He possesses great athletic ability and strength, with good jumping ability that will allow him to play some small forward. Noel may have gained a spot in the second round.
J.R. Pinnock | SG | 6-2¾ | George Washington (Jr.)
Pinnock is a shooting guard with the dimensions of a point guard by NBA standards. He does all of his work from the shooting guard position, with no playmaking skills on display during the week in Orlando. However, Pinnock has explosive athleticism and leaping ability. He did a good job getting to the basket and finishing, using his strength. He has a decent stroke, but his ballhandling could use some work. Pinnock needs to improve his ballhandling and shooting, especially off the dribble and from NBA 3-point range. He probably will play in Europe next season.
Darius Washington | PG | 5-11½ | Memphis (Soph.)
Washington came into camp with the idea that he had to prove to scouts and NBA personnel that he can run a team and not look for his own offense first. He might have played more consistently than any point guard in camp. He did a good job of finding teammates and sacrificing his offense. When he was open to shoot, he did a good job of knocking down shots, even out to NBA 3-point range. He also did a good job taking care of the ball, keeping the turnovers down. He used his body effectively against smaller guards, getting into the lane with relative ease. He also encouraged his teammates often, which you look for in a point guard. He did not impress on the defensive end, and he needs to trim down a little, as well. Washington has to keep improving his playmaking skills and work on his jump shot more. He needs to add a pull-up jumper and a floater to his repertoire. Washington placed himself firmly in the second round, and while he has not signed an agent, most people don't expect him to return to Memphis next season.
Justin Williams | C/PF | 6-7¼ | Wyoming
Though Williams measured significantly shorter than the 6-10 he was listed at in college, he had some dominant performances on the glass and blocked plenty of shots during the camp. He will do his work on the next level as an energy guy, making a difference on the boards and on defense in short spurts of playing time. He has great quickness for a guy his size and gets off the floor very quickly, and his 7-1½ wingspan helps make up for his size. He blocks shots on the ball and coming from the weak side. Though he displayed great intensity on the defensive end, Williams does not have a go-to, reliable offensive move. He really needs to add a jump hook and a jumper out to 10 to 15 feet. Williams has some upside and should sneak into the second round.

Lice: Removing Nits From Hair
Topic Overview
Lice eggs stick to the hair and can be hard to remove. It is possible that if some eggs survive treatment and are not removed from the hair, they may persist.
Wet combing is an option for people who can't use lice medicines or choose not to use them. Also, some people use a comb to remove eggs after using lice medicine on the hair or just because they don't like the look of lice and eggs in the hair.
You can try wet combing to remove eggs and lice:

Turkey Boosts Incentives for Private Pension Contributions
Turkey's parliament passed a draft law allowing the government to make contributions to private pension plans.
The measure, which also widens tax breaks for pensions, needs the approval of President Abdullah Gul before becoming law. It stipulates that the government will match 25 percent of contributions to pension plans that pay in full only on retirement, according to the state-run Anatolia news agency.
The government's contributions will be withdrawn if a client cancels membership before three years, Anatolia said. The law also exempts all pension contributors from the 15 percent withholding tax on financial gains. Previously, only savers who contributed for at least 10 years were exempt.

Williams Hall
My name is Matt Keefe, and I serve as the Resident Director of Williams Hall. I grew up in the outskirts of Austin and I came to DBU in the fall of 2011 as a freshman. During my time as a student and a Resident Assistant at DBU, I have been blessed to see many young men mature and grow in their walk with the Lord. God has never ceased to amaze me as I continually witness Him at work in the lives of the men in Williams Hall.
Williams Hall has six Resident Assistants who are here to help with anything that you need, as well as plan programs, foster community and build relationships. Events include the annual Hall Wars Dodgeball Tournament, concerts, service projects, and just hanging out at various locations around DFW. We want to have fun while providing a place you can grow mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Living in the residence halls is one of the most memorable times of a DBU student's career. For me personally, it was a very influential time in my life as I built strong Christ-centered relationships and grew as a disciple of Jesus. I pray that you will seek the Lord and follow Him as He guides you in this next step of your life.
If you have any questions, or need anything, please give us a call.

Student Quotes
Josh Hemby
I like living in the residence halls because of the community like atmosphere. Any time of day, I can find another guy on the hall to hang out with or talk to. I enjoy the fact that at any moment I could take a few steps down the hall and just do life with another brother in Christ. It is also a great ministry opportunity, as we do have some non-Christians living in the residence halls.

I love the residence halls primarily for the fellowship they provide. Living within ten feet of 10-20 guys helps you become close with many people very quickly. There is always someone to spend time with and hang out in the residence halls. I think living in the residence halls helps me stay more involved on campus due to the community atmosphere.

Living in Williams has been a great experience. The atmosphere in the residence hall is phenomenal. No matter where you go, there is always someone there with a smiling face. I know that no matter what, I can go to the RAs and RD for help. I feel loved. It's as if the residence hall is its own community. Living in the residence halls, you form relationships and friendships that will carry on through life. I will never forget this amazing experience.

Why should it occure when sugar is well controlled. what is the treatment/prognosis
What is diabetic nephrotic syndrome?
- Posted:

Answers (2)
9 May 2011
Nephrotic syndrome is a nonspecific disorder in which the kidneys are damaged, causing them to leak large amounts of protein (proteinuria at least 3.5 grams per day per 1.73m2 body surface area) from the blood into the urine.
Kidneys affected by nephrotic syndrome have small pores in the podocytes, large enough to permit proteinuria (and subsequently hypoalbuminemia, because some of the protein albumin has gone from the blood to the urine) but not large enough to allow cells through (hence no hematuria). By contrast, in nephritic syndrome, RBCs pass through the pores, causing hematuria.
According to NephCure, most often, Nephrotic Syndrome is defined by its primary diseases that attack the kidney's filtering system. Doctors often call these diseases "idiopathic," which means that they have arisen without a known cause.
Treatment includes:
Monitoring and maintaining euvolemia (the correct amount of fluid in the body):
Monitoring urine output, BP regularly.
Fluid restrict to 1 L.
Diuretics (IV furosemide).
Monitoring kidney function:
do EUCs daily and calculating GFR.
Treat hyperlipidemia to prevent further atherosclerosis.
Prevent and treat any complications
Albumin infusions are generally not used because their effect lasts only transiently.
Prophylactic anticoagulation may be appropriate in some circumstances. Specific
Immunosuppression for the glomerulonephritides (corticosteroids, ciclosporin).
Standard ISKDC regime for first episode: prednisolone -60 mg/m2/day in 3 divided doses for 4 weeks followed by 40 mg/m2/day in a single dose on every alternate day for 4 weeks.
Relapses by prednisolone 2 mg/kg/day till urine becomes negative for protein. Then, 1.5 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks.
Frequent relapses treated by: cyclophosphamide or nitrogen mustard or ciclosporin or levamisole.
Achieving better blood glucose level control if the patient is diabetic.
Blood pressure control. ACE inhibitors are the drug of choice. Independent of their blood pressure lowering effect, they have been shown to decrease protein loss.
However, please do also consult/talk to a specialist, take care!

Diabetic Nephrotic syndrome a disorder in which the kidneys are damaged, causing them to leak large amounts of protein from the blood into the urine.

Even the Christmas holidays couldn't get Connecticut out of its economic funk.
The latest statistics released today by the state Department of Labor showed Connecticut losing 1,800 jobs in December, while the Norwich-New London region saw 400 fewer workers. The December numbers capped a year in which Connecticut made no inroads in recovering jobs lost during the Great Recession.
The state, which has added only about 28,700 jobs since the recession ended three and a half years ago, has regained only about a quarter of the 117,500 positions that it lost during the downturn — half of the job recovery rate seen in the rest of the nation. Even under optimistic projections, Connecticut wouldn't make a full recovery until sometime in 2016, said Don Klepper-Smith, chief economist and director of research for New Haven-based DataCore Partners, in a note to clients.
"This is proof positive that Connecticut's job recovery continues to make only 'minimal' progress," Klepper-Smith said. "Our job growth is running about one-third to one-half of the growth that we've seen in prior upturns."
Peter Gioia, an economist and vice president of the Connecticut Business & Industry Association, said Connecticut's loss of 100 jobs between the end of 2011 and December of last year shows an economy that is gaining no traction.
"It's really stuck in neutral," Gioia said in a statement.
"It is apparent that the rate of job growth slowed considerably in the last half of the year," agreed Andy Condon, director of research for the state Labor Department.
What's more, 9,900 workers in the state left the labor market in December, the second highest monthly decline in the civilian workforce since 1976 and the sixth consecutive month of significant reductions.
Gioia said people are leaving the labor force because they are discouraged about their job prospects. With fewer people looking for work, Connecticut's jobless rate fell three-tenths of a point to 8.6 percent in December.
Klepper-Smith noted that the "officially unemployed" rose by nearly 5,000 last year in Connecticut even as the labor force dropped by more than 45,000. He estimates that, taking into account discouraged workers, those who are only marginally employed and others forced into part-time work, the true unemployment rate last month in Connecticut was 14.4 percent.

A compelling new set of interviews on our changing and turbulent times with Noam Chomsky, one of the world's foremost thinkers
In this new collection of conversations, conducted from 2010 to 2012, Noam Chomsky explores the most immediate and urgent concerns: the future of democracy in the Arab world, the implications of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the European financial crisis, the breakdown of American mainstream political institutions, and the rise of the Occupy movement. As always, Chomsky presents his ideas vividly and accessibly, with uncompromising principle and clarifying insight.
The latest volume from a long-established, trusted partnership, Power Systems shows once again that no interlocutor engages with Chomsky more effectively than David Barsamian. These interviews will inspire a new generation of readers, as well as longtime Chomsky fans eager for his latest thinking on the many crises we now confront, both at home and abroad. They confirm that Chomsky is an unparalleled resource for anyone seeking to understand our world today.
Editorial Reviews
"Chomsky is a global phenomenon... perhaps the most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planet." Samantha Power, The New York Times Book Review
"Sitting down and talking to Noam Chomsky about current affairs has to be one of the most illuminating experiences going. But what if you can't always think of the best questions? Not to worry: David Barsamian's interviews with Chomsky consistently ask penetrating and provocative questions. If you're familiar with Chomsky, he will still manage to surprise you."

The New American
One of the themes that Howard Zinn tried to address during his long career was the lack of historical memory. The facts of history are scrupulously ignored and/or distorted. I was wondering if you could comment on imperialism then and now, interventions then and now. Specifically about Saigon in 1963 and 1964 and Kabul today?
What happened in Vietnam in the early 1960s is gone from history. It was barely discussed at the time, and it's essentially disappeared. In 1954, there was a peace settlement between the United States and Vietnam. The United States regarded it as a disaster, refused to permit it to go forward, and established a client state in the South, which was a typical client state, carrying out torture, brutality, murders. By about 1960, the South Vietnamese government had probably killed seventy or eighty thousand people.1 The repression was so harsh that it stimulated an internal rebellion, which was not what the North Vietnamese wanted. They wanted some time to develop their own society. But they were sort of coerced by the southern resistance into at least giving it verbal support.
By the time John F. Kennedy became involved in 1961, the situation was out of control. So Kennedy simply invaded the country. In 1962, he sent the U.S. Air Force to start bombing South Vietnam, using planes with South Vietnamese markings. Kennedy authorized the use of napalm, chemical warfare, to destroy the ground cover and crops. He started the process of driving the rural population into what were called "strategic hamlets," essentially concentration camps, where people were surrounded by barbed wire, supposedly to protect them from the guerillas who the U.S. government knew perfectly well they supported. This "pacification" ultimately drove millions of people out of the countryside while destroying large parts of it. Kennedy also began operations against North Vietnam on a small scale. That was 1962.
In 1963, the Kennedy administration got wind of the fact that the government of Ngo Dinh Diem it had installed in South Vietnam was trying to arrange negotiations with the North. Diem and his brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, were trying to negotiate a peace settlement. So the Kennedy liberals determined that they had to be thrown out. The Kennedy administration organized a coup in which the two brothers were killed and they put in their own guy, meanwhile escalating the war. Then came the assassination of President Kennedy. Contrary to a lot of mythology, Kennedy was one of the hawks in the administration to the very last minute. He did agree to proposals for withdrawal from Vietnam, because he knew the war was very unpopular here, but always with the condition of withdrawal after victory. Once we get victory, we can withdraw and let the client regime go.
Actually, imperialism is an interesting term. The United States was founded as an empire. George Washington wrote in 1783 that "the gradual extension of our settlements will as certainly cause the savage, as the wolf, to retire; both being beasts of prey, tho' they differ in shape." Thomas Jefferson predicted that the "backward" tribes at the borders "will relapse into barbarism and misery, lose numbers by war and want, and we shall be obliged to drive them, with the beasts of the forests into the Stony mountains."2 Once we don't need slavery anymore, we'll send the slaves back to Africa. And get rid of the Latins because they are an inferior race. We're the superior race of Anglo-Saxons. It's only to the benefit of everyone if we people the entire hemisphere.

One would think it had to come down, but they are the crazy ones......
It will not come down if as some are covering more are shorting. Also depends how much leverage the shorts have as far as holding call options positions to mitigate losses and how much they loss they can sustain. Also, from a rational perspective, as the price rises, the short interest will increase with a view of over-value.
sorry Froggy I thought it was today, but it actually is tomorrow at 4 pm. If it doesn't come down, we jump again.
Ok, thought it was next week. Even if it drops a little they still need over a week to cover. Personally with all the info out the last 2 weeks I think they're toast.

I needed something to tread through small areas. Treading is so quick with the right tool and this is the right tool. The grip is fantastic. Best tool for the job.
