I know I've been MIA lately. In all honesty, I've been depressed about my injury and living in chronic pain, seeing no light at the end of this tunnel. And I've regained 30# of the 80 I lost last year. Sucks. But only I did it. And only I c... Read more

(Why is there no Software forum here?)
(On XP Pro SP3). Can anyone please tell me why Microsoft Security Essentials refuses to load at startup? I've gotten so fed up with Kaspersky Internet Security that I had to disable it. So I need replacements. MSE seems to work great (of course only for AV and malware) and it passes tests I threw at it. But even with its Service set to Automatic, I have to manually click its icon each time I start my PC for it to load! I see nothing in the settings or config on how to get it to load at startup like any other AV or anti-malware program!
*I can't put its shortcut in the "Start Up" folder because that would cause the program interface to open up each time my PC starts then I'd have to close it.
Under MSCONFIG it does not show up there! So there's no box I can check. Right now I'm trying to find a way to edit the MSCONFIG "Startup" tab so I can add it but I'm still trying to find a way to do that. (I'm still searching through the Registry right now).
*I've had to temporarily do that ^ and only after doing that did I see an entry for it in MSCONFIG's Startup tab, but again the problem of having to close the interface every time I start my PC is going to happen.
When I start the PC, and when I look at the Task Manager, the only thing running is its Service (MsMpEng.exe) and msseces.exe never loads until I click the icon. Just after I start the PC and when I look at the Task Manager, for a moment or so in addition to MsMpEng.exe I also saw MpCmdRun (which is the "Microsoft Malware Protection Command Line Utility"). It stayed there for a minute, then vanished. Never any 'msseces.exe'.
So how are you supposed to get it to start or load when your PC starts?

Cucumber and Tomato Salad Caprese
Brie, Lettuce and Tomato Salad
White Bean, Herb and Tomato Salad
Broccoli, Feta and Tomato Salad
Dilled Cucumber-Tomato Salad
Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Salad
Here's a stress-free salad made with dilled cucumber and tomatoes poured with vinegar mixture – a delicious side dish!
For maximum cucumber crunch, choose firm, slender cucumbers with thin skins. Cucumber seeds become bitter with age. Slice older cucumbers in half lengthwise and run the tip of a spoon down the center to remove the seeds. Or try hothouse cucumber. These very long slender cucumbers don't have many seeds but cost a bit more.
Rice vinegar is less acidic than cider, white or wine vinegar. Look for it near the other vinegars in the grocery store.

My North Carolina-born husband comes from a renowned lineage of talented bakers. If you possess superior pie-making skills, you're deemed to have "the gift." The hand pie, an individual grab-and-go pastry, is held in especially high regard by the women in his family, Grandmother Louise and Aunt Ruth among them. Knowing this, I vowed to carry on the tradition.
The simple beauty of hand pies is that they're meant to be eaten on the go, literally out of hand—no utensils (or sharing) required. They're easy to transport: Take them on a picnic, to a bake sale, or to a potluck. And they're a real treat at any time of day.
Hand pies make a great showcase for the season's best fruit, but a luscious filling is only half of the pie equation. Equally important is the crust, which needs to be rich, flaky, and delicious but still firm enough to hold onto. Each of these doughs meets those expectations, and my pastry pointers help ensure that you'll achieve hand pie success— my gift to you.
Because you never know when you'll come across a glut of your favorite summer fruit, you might want to keep a stash of prepared dough in the freezer. Each of the doughs in these recipes can be frozen for up to three months. Here are a few tips for freezer success.

Provisional Accident and Emergency Quality Indicators, England - By provider for April 2013
This report, generated from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) A&E data, sets out data coverage, data quality and performance information for the following five A&E indicators:
- Left department before being seen for treatment rate - Re-attendance rate - Time to initial assessment - Time to treament - Total time in A&E
Publishing these data will help share information on the quality of care of A&E services to stimulate the discussion and debate between patients, clinicians, providers and commissioners, which is needed in a culture of continuous improvement.
The data used in these reports are sourced from Provisional A&E HES data, and as such these data may differ to information extracted directly from Secondary Uses Service (SUS) data, or data extracted directly from local patient administration systems. Provisional HES data may be revised throughout the year.
Key facts
• A&E HES data contains 1.50 million A&E attendances for April 2013 at all types of A&E. However, A&E HES data are incomplete; almost 1.62 million A&E attendances were reported in the NHS England Situation Report data collection for the month, and 74 organisations that report data to Situation Reports did not report data to A&E HES; these organisations are mostly lower acuity services such as minor injury units and walk-in centres.
• Several organisations reported data that did not meet the data quality checks required by A&E indicators. The 95th percentile and longest single wait information are particularly sensitive to poor data quality, outliers and data definitional issues, which contributes to why some unusually high values may be observed for these measures.
• Nationally, 2.9 per cent of attendances at A&E departments were recorded as having left A&E before being seen for treatment, and 7.4 per cent of attendances in A&E in April 2013 were unplanned re-attendances within 7 days of a previous attendance.
• The median average time to initial assessment for attendances brought to A&E by ambulance was 4 minutes, with 95 per cent of patients being assessed within 58 minutes. For all patients receiving treatment, the median average time to treatment was 56 minutes with 95 per cent of patients receiving treatment within 3 hours 20 minutes.
• The median average total time in A&E for all patients was 2 hours 15 minutes, with 95 per cent of patients departing A&E within 5 hours 45 minutes of arrival.

Fueled by President Barack Obama's announcement of wide-ranging plans to combat gun violence, state Democrats on Wednesday expressed optimism in the measures they're likely to propose in the coming weeks that will look to toughen gun laws.
From requiring across-the-board background checks on the sale of all guns to a ban on high-capacity magazines, a handful of the proposals echoed by the president are already being hashed out behind closed doors by Colorado Democrats.
And unlike Washington, where a divided Congress has led to persistent gridlock, the Democrat-controlled state legislature could pass new gun measures with no need for Republican support, long before any federal legislation is even brought to a vote.
"Democrats here know they're not going to get any Republican support on these gun bills," said political analyst Eric Sondermann. "So now it's all an intra-party discussion to see how far they want to go to push for tighter gun laws and still have the votes they need."
Senate president John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, said he has been working with lawmakers in the House on a package of gun bills that could mesh with several of Obama's proposals mentioned Wednesday.
Democrats in recent weeks have said that far-reaching gun-control laws — such as limiting access to "weapons of war," including AK-47 assault rifles — should be considered.
"We need to have comprehensive solutions," Morse said. "We've seen our share of shooting tragedies, and we really need to get this right."
Republican's balked at Obama's ideas.
"New (gun) laws are not going to change the kinds of tragic mass shootings that have occurred," said Colorado Republican Party chairman Ryan Call.
State Rep. Rhonda Fields, an Aurora Democrat whose son was killed by a gunman in 2005, is championing tougher Colorado laws. Obama's call to Congress to restore the 10-round limit on ammunition magazines, emboldened Fields to overhaul initial plans to ban on ammunition magazines of 50 to 100 rounds.
"I do want to align with the president on this," said Fields, who remained vague on the specific language of the legislation. "So a lot of what (Obama) is saying on the federal level, ... I would like to support that locally and have a bill possibly limit ammunition to 10 rounds."
Fields further wants to require a Colorado Bureau of Investigation background check for all private gun sales, which aligns with Obama's call to Congress for universal background checks.
Current Colorado law requires background checks only for retail sales and not those sold privately by individuals.
Gov. John Hickenlooper has voiced support for universal background checks. He has also expressed the need for better mental health treatment for young adults, something the president also called for.
Although the legislation is still being crafted, Fields said that under her background-check bill, if a firearm were used in a robbery or murder and it's found that no background check was completed by the seller, that individual could face a misdemeanor under the proposed measure.
"It would be a law," Fields said "And if someone is caught having broken that law, they would face charges."
It's a move that many state Republicans oppose, arguing that criminals already disobey the law and that such legislation is a hindrance to law abiding citizens.
Meanwhile, members of Colorado's congressional delegation, including U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Golden, lauded Obama's proposals Wednesday.
"New, tougher laws will pass," said Perlmutter, who is co-sponsoring a bill in Congress that would reinstate an assault-weapons ban that expired in 2004.
His colleague, U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs, said he's "skeptical" of Obama's call to reinstate an assault-weapons ban.
"Gun bans have proven ineffective in the past," Lamborn said in a statement. "Congress should certainly consider the president's ideas. ... However, whatever action, if any, that Congress takes, must not infringe upon the Second Amendment."

Suspects who broke into a Springs home got more than they bargained for Monday night.
Police say three men forced their way into a home on Saint Vrain Street near Union and Platte Avenue. But the man who lives there was home at the time. There was a struggle between the men and that's when investigators say the resident grabbed a gun and shot two of the crooks.
Both of the injured men tried to run from the house. But after a block they couldn't go any further and had to stop because of their injuries.
When police arrived on scene the men were rushed to the hospsital. One of the suspects is in critical condition, while the other is in stable condition.
The victim was not injured in the home invasion and police do not believe he knew the suspects.
The shooting remains under investigation.

My Grandmother was the librarian in the very small town where I grew up, and most of my Saturdays were spent there, poring over the books in the children's section and sneaking a look at the National Geographics. The love of reading that started there has continued--a good book can be the best company.

I am a children's librarian and I try to read three books a day, thus about 1000 a year; over 10000 in my career thus far. My brother, an attorney, says they do not count. I feel he is full of poo, really, while I have all the Pooh.

Big Pharma Ads Flaunt FDA Rules
Officially, it's the FDA's job to ensure that pharmaceutical ads adhere to guidelines. But the agency's annual compliance budget is $9 million, while drug companies spend $58 billion a year on marketing. So it comes as no surprise that only 18% of ads are in compliance with the rules. But it's still disturbing: This is your health.

Price First Taxis was established in 2002.
As exprerienced taxi drivers we became increasingly more and more frustrated with the way the taxi industry was going. So with this in mind we decided to break away and form a company that would be run with honesty and integrety. You will not be filled with the usual nonsense that can be associated with other companies.
In the time since we were established we have grown to become a very successful company with 50 plus vehicles servicing both the public and business sectors with a quality of service that is unmatched.
Vehicles Available: Four, Six and Eight seaters along with Wheelchair accessible vehicles.
The Company Who Likes To Say No
No To Extras - No Tariff Two - No To Call Out Charges
Mrs. K.
I recently stayed at Torquay Caravan Park with my Son. This is a big thank you to all of the drivers who without fail were very prompt, helpful, cheerful and polite. It made our stay easier and pleasant!
Our thanks and best wishes to you all.
We used Price First Taxis for the first time on Friday and were very impressed from start to finish. The phone was answered promptly and price given quickly which we accepted as it was less than 4 other firms we had already contacted. The taxi arrived on time, the driver was friendly, the vehicle was modern & clean, we got there in good time & felt more like we had been chauffered. The return taxi was equally good even though it was a different driver & cab. I would have no hesitation in recommending Price First Taxis & will be using them again as my preferred firm.
Miss. M.
To the ladies and Gentlemen of Price First Taxis for all the kindness and attention you have shown me these past months. You have made such a difference to me, never hurrying me in and out of the taxis with this disability. I thank you all!
Ladies thank you for your cheery way you answer the phone when I call.
Thank you,
Miss. M.

Cleaning out the Bureau
this wiki
|This article or section is Under Construction.
Cleaning out the Bureau is the first part of the fifth heist mission in Grand Theft Auto V.
Michael heads over to Lester's factory, and is soon joined by David Norton and Steve Haines. They explain that evidence regarding them is starting to surface, and they need to to be taken care of. Steve tells Michael to do this as a large favor for him, with the incentive of deleting Michael's files as well. After Dave and Steve leave, Micahel and Lester drive to the parking lot exit of the FIB Tower, to wait for a janitor to leave. Michael and Lester tail the janitor until he reaches his apartment, where Michael enters behind him, convincing him to take a vacation and hand over his uniform and ID. Afterward, Michael and Lester drive back to the textile factory where Franklin is waiting, and is informed of what he needs to do afterward.
Completion - Gold
- Check all license plates
- Follow the janitor without being spotted
- Complete within 09:00
- While waiting for the janotir to leave, one of Lester's comments, "This is not the car we're looking for" may be a reference to the famous line from Star Wars.

Greenville public works employees are preparing for any heavy rainfall from Hurricane Sandy.
The Pitt County area could receive between 2 and 3 inches of rain, with some locations getting up to 5 inches.
This morning city crews were clearing out drainage ditches that are likely to flood with a lot of rainfall.
The city says there are certain areas that are prone to flooding during large rain events. Some of these areas are portions of Evans Street, 14th Street, Charles Boulevard, Green Springs Park, and Sterling Park Drive off of Thomas Langston Road. Residents are being urged to park their vehicles on high ground and never attempt to drive or walk through moving water across a roadway.
City officials do not expect extreme conditions from the hurricane, though heavy rain and 35 mile per hour wind gusts are likely.
Residents should make sure outdoor furniture and other yard items that could become wind-borne hazards be secured, while clearing storm drains near your home will help prevent any localized flooding.

Trade Schools – The Fast Track to Beginning Your Career
The purpose of this article is to give you an overview of trade schools, explaining how these schools differ from traditional four-year colleges and why they can make an excellent choice if you're looking to break into the industry as soon as possible.
If you're a high school graduate considering the possibility of attending trade school in the near future, and you want to know what benefits such a decision could offer, read this article to find out more.
What are Trade Schools?
Trade schools, also known as vocational schools, are post-secondary schools – meaning that students usually enroll after graduating from high school or obtaining their GEDs – that teach the skills necessary to help students acquire jobs in specific industries.
Some of the most common careers for graduates of these schools include:
- Construction Worker
- Electrician
- Auto or Diesel Mechanic
- Welder
- HVAC Technician
- Health care
- Culinary Arts
- Computer Technology
How Do Trade Schools Differ from Traditional Colleges?
The biggest difference between trade school and traditional college is the amount of time students need to complete their education. Most vocational schools offer programs that students can complete in about one year. Students attending traditional colleges often take four to five years to complete their education.
Traditional colleges also require students to complete a liberal arts education; they must enroll in a broad range of courses that are not necessarily related to their area of study. Vocational schools only require students to enroll in classes that pertain to their particular trades.
How to Find the Best Trade Schools?
Our website is the best place to start looking for schools. We have tried to make this task as easy as possible for you by carefully selecting the top schools in your area based on our high standard requirements and the best financial aid programs available. Look for the search box at the bottom of this article. Simply input your zip code and you'll find FREE information about the top schools that offer trade/vocational training near you; or click on any of the links on our website. Fill out the necessary information to get all the requirements and best financial aid programs available for your training. Acquiring a degree from an accredited Trade School will certainly make you successful in this career.
With the above information, you shouldn't have a problem making an informed decision about starting your Vocational Career. Take the first step towards a bright future by requesting information and start your class today!

[Photo by Nessa Chan]I love when people send me submissions for Advanced Style and I just received this great shot, from an anime convention, of the "Otakon Granny". I try and display a diverse range of styles from the most elegant to the more avant garde and individualistic. Its great to see an older woman not afraid to have fun and express herself.
The photographer, Nessa Chan describes her feelings on the photo above:
Hi there,
I love reading your Advanced Style blog. I thought you might enjoy seeing this picture I took in Baltimore last month.She's the "Otakon Granny." She was in town for Otakon, one of the largest Japanese animation (anime) conventions in the USA, and the largest one in the eastern USA. I loved her style and lack of concern for what 'others' might think. She was walking hand and hand with a stylishly (but 'normally') dressed gentleman, who didn't want to be in the picture.
As a person who enjoys designing creative costumes myself, I hope that I can be as creative as her when I get older. Her confidence and happiness were infectious!
I thought you would enjoy it.
Carry on!

The Veterans Day ceremony in Greenville Monday included a parade down First Street and an observance at the town common.
Families lined the parade route with their children and then sat in for the keynote speaker Ed Sallau from the Wounded Warriors organization.
Heather Graff, who's husband is on his 6th tour of duty in Afghanistan, brought her three children out to this year's event for one purpose. Graff says, "I want to come out here and understand and see what goes on. It's not always a good day out there, I want them to understand that things do happen and understand that completely and be able to support the military every way possible."
The military members we spoke to say they want to get the message across about the importance of providing help to the wounded who return home from war.

Comments On Jan 17, 2013:If you are uncomfortable with tight fitting clothing buy 1 to 2 size larger. Vest is like spandex. Vest works well but only last about 30 minutes. It can be revitalized by pouring water over it while wearing it.

Comments On Oct 26, 2012:The price is too high for what you get which is little more than a spandex vest. Helped keep me somewhat cooler than without I guess though. Don't expect AC cooling.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Eminent Domain: Abuse of Government Power?
Recorded: Tuesday, January 31, 2006
In June 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Kelo v. New London that local governments may force property owners to sell out and to make way for private economic development, even if the property is not blighted. In response, many states have passed legislation and proposed amendments to their state constitutions to block this unprecedented government assault on the rights of property owners.

Recorded: Thursday, April 18, 2002
Filmed before a live audience on April 18, 2002, renowned author Gore Vidal rejects the blind patriotism expected by government officials and the mainstream media, and investigates U.S. foreign policy throughout recent history, showing how it has contributed to the terrorist crisis. With his famous wit and insight, Vidal also demonstrates the ways in which the War on Terrorism is being used to curtail civil liberties and shred the Bill of Rights.

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Michael Brantley registered his first career
multi-homer game and drove in three runs as the Cleveland Indians earned a 6-3
victory over the Kansas City Royals in the rubber match of a three-game set at
Progressive Field.
Mike Aviles drove in two runs and Carlos Santana plated another for the
Indians, winners in six of their last eight.
Justin Masterson (9-5) earned his first win since May 29 after tossing 6 1/3
innings and allowing two runs on nine hits with eight strikeouts.
Luis Mendoza (2-4) pitched well early for Kansas City, but labored in a three-
run sixth inning and was charged with a total of four runs on four hits with
three walks over five-plus frames.
Eric Hosmer and David Lough each had three hits and drove in one run, while
Elliot Johnson also drove in one for the Royals, who wrapped up a seven-game
road trip with a 4-3 mark.
Mendoza cruised through the first four frames and failed to allow a hit until
the start of the fifth, when Brantley cut Cleveland's deficit to 2-1 with a
line-drive homer to right. Mendoza retired the next three batters in the
fifth, but he fell apart in the sixth and the Indians took advantage by
plating three runs.
Drew Stubbs singled and Michael Bourn walked before Aviles followed with a
single to left to tie the game at 2-2, though Royals left fielder Alex Gordon
appeared to drop an easy out. Jason Kipnis then surprised everyone with a bunt
single, loading the bases with no outs. Mendoza then ended his night by
walking in Santana to give the Tribe a 3-2 lead.
Tim Collins entered the game for Kansas City and served up a sacrifice fly to
Brantley to round out the inning's scoring, but escaped the frame by striking
out Ryan Raburn and forcing a Lonnie Chisenhall groundout.
Aviles added a sacrifice fly in the seventh and Brantley provided his second
homer of the game in the eighth, another blast to right. Hosmer recorded an
RBI double in the ninth for the visitors.
Kansas City opened up the scoring in the fourth as Lough singled, advanced to
third on a Mike Moustakas double and scored on Johnson's RBI single to center.
The damage could have been worse for Masterson, but the righty fanned Alcides
Escobar with runners on second and third and got some help from Hosmer, who
saved two runs from scoring with an inning-ending diving stab at first on
Gordon's line drive.
The Royals added another run one inning later. Hosmer singled and swiped
second, then moved to third on Billy Butler's single with one out. After
Lorenzo Cain struck out, Lough came through with a run-scoring single down the
left-field line to make it 2-0.
Game Notes
The Indians won their third consecutive series ... Masterson is 6-1 in nine
starts at Progressive Field this year. He's allowed seven runs and struck out
52 to go 5-0 in his last six home starts ... The Royals had 12 hits and left
nine men on base ... Bourn scored twice for Cleveland.

WOW man. That is bloody brilliant work you've done. Love the frozen dragon and bloody altar.
So I made it into the final minutes of the ICE contest with this entry:
The WIP thread is here: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=4025
In ancient times a dragon ravaged the lands. Thousands of people were slain and cities burned to the ground. First the people turned to the gods of summer and spring, but they were too fey. They helped when life was good and wouldn't understand disaster. They turned to the god of autumn, but she told them that bad times were inevitable and that they must accept their fate and ride it out. Finally, in desperation, they turned to the cruel god of winter. He understood bad times and hard choices. When people are desperate they will do desperate things. He would handle the dragon, but the people must make a pact. One virgin sacrifice every midwinter's eve. The people wept but they had no choice.
The dragon was lured to a high mountain top in with a cascading river, but today there was nor river, as it was dammed with a wall of ice. As it flew closer the ice cracked and a avalanche of water engulfed the beast. The god of winter spoke, and the water froze, trapping the dragon in an enormous icicle. The people heard of the event and celebrated. The king knew better and sent his best climbers to see for themselves. They saw the dragon in the ice and were joyous, but then they looked closer and saw that above the dragon lay a vaulted pillared hall, and at the end, overlooking the valley of the cities, and whipped by icy winds, stood a cold butcher's block of solid ice - an altar for the price of the deal.
In the following years, steps have been carved to make the perilous climb possible. Every year, in the dead of winter, the priests take the god's prize to his lofty temple and keep their people's pact lest the dragon return.
WOW man. That is bloody brilliant work you've done. Love the frozen dragon and bloody altar.

That is a very cool map man. Good Colors, good layout, good flow. I love the practicality of it with the grid for your campaign encounter. The frozen wyrm is a fantastic addition and really adds a lot.
What really does it for me and brings it all together is your concept drawing of the cliff and overhang included in the bottom corner.
Great work!
Thanks! It was fun to draw (and a real pain at times). Good fun drawing dragons again as well - it's been ages.
Very cool T! - glad you were able to make the deadline.

Disasters Results
Since 9/11, DHS has made significant progress in how we respond to a wide range of threats, from natural disasters to coordinated attacks.
Establishing and improving a unified incident command system
FEMA has established sixteen Incident Management Assistance Teams (IMATs) that utilize the ICS as their core organizational management structure.
Using the authorities outlined under the Homeland Security Presidential Directive -5 and the Stafford Act, FEMA leads the federal interagency team in support of state governors.
Throughout the devastating multi-state flooding and tornado response operations during the spring of 2011, FEMA-led teams successfully implemented the National Incident Management System and ICS to achieve fully coordinated interagency and intergovernmental operations to best meet the needs of survivors.
Enhancing Emergency Communication Infrastructure and Improving Interoperability
Emergency and Interoperable Communications Plans
In 2008, the DHS Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) developed the National Emergency Communications Plan in coordination with more than 150 public safety practitioners at all levels of government and across responder disciplines, which serves as the first nationwide strategic plan to improve emergency communications and drive measurable progress.
Urban Area Emergency Communications
In 2010, OEC worked with 60 urban areas to assess emergency communications during a real-world situation. All 60 urban areas successfully demonstrated appropriate response-level emergency communications.
Building Nuclear, Radiological, and Biological Preparedness and Response Measures
State and Local Radiological Emergency Preparedness
DHS's Domestic Nuclear Detection Office has trained more than 23,000 state and local officers and first responders in radiological and nuclear detection. In addition, through the Securing the Cities initiative, nearly 13,000 personnel in the New York City region have been trained in preventive radiological and nuclear detection operations and nearly 8,500 pieces of radiological detection equipment have been deployed. The Administration has proposed expanding the Securing the Cities initiative to additional high risk regions of the country.
BioWatch is a federally-managed, locally-operated, nationwide bio-surveillance system designed to detect the intentional release of aerosolized biological agents. Through the BioWatch program, an environmental surveillance system that provides early detection of biological agents, DHS's Office of Health Affairs has collected over 1.1 million samples in more than 30 cities nationwide over the past five years to enhance protection and preparedness for high-consequence biological threats.
Private Sector Preparedness
Voluntary Private Sector Preparedness Accreditation and Certification Program (PS-Prep™)
DHS created the PS-Prep™ program, a partnership between DHS and the private sector that enables private entities to receive emergency preparedness certification. Under PS-Prep™, DHS and FEMA adopted three industry standards to assist organizations in assessing their preparedness and resiliency. In March 2012, DHS certified the first private sector company certified DHS-selected standards under the PS-Prep program.
Ready Business Campaign
FEMA promotes private sector preparedness through its Ready Business campaign, a nationwide initiative that provides materials to businesses to encourage continuity planning and crisis management. Ready Business is part of larger preparedness outreach efforts by FEMA that include the Ready campaign and Citizen Corps, to encourage Americans to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses, and communities.
Risk Mitigation Training
Each year, more than 33,000 state, local and private sector partners participate in risk mitigation training on a range of topics including managing floodplain development, planning for post-disaster integrated management, conducting benefit cost analysis and emergency management planning, preparedness, training and education.
Allocating Homeland Security Funding Based on Risk
Since fiscal year 2003, DHS has awarded more than $36 billion in preparedness grant funding based on risk to build and sustain targeted capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism and natural disasters.
Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (THIRAs): Beginning in FY 2012, all states receiving homeland security grant funding are required to develop and maintain a Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, which includes the range of threats and hazards faced by an applicant. Through the THIRA process, states will compare existing capabilities with target capabilities to identify potential gaps and focus grant funding accordingly.
The National Preparedness Goal
In 2011 DHS announced the country's first-ever National Preparedness Goal required under Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 8. The goal sets the vision for nationwide preparedness and identifies the core capabilities and targets necessary to achieve preparedness across five mission areas laid out under PPD 8: prevention, protection, mitigation, response and recovery. To support this effort, DHS completed the first Strategic National Risk Assessment in 2011, which helped identify the types of incidents that pose the greatest threat to the nation's homeland security.
FY 2012 Grant Allocations
All fiscal year (FY) 2012 grant funding was tied to the five mission areas and core capabilities of the National Preparedness Goal. Grant funding is provided to states, tribes, territories, and local communities to build preparedness capability at all levels.

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A Parkville woman has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to produce child pornography.
Thirty-seven-year-old Margaret Ellen Jones entered the plea Wednesday. She faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 15 years at sentencing June 11.
According to her plea agreement, Jones and 49-year-old John Andrew Blaes contacted a 15-year-old North Carolina girl on the Internet and traveled to her home to bring her to Maryland.
Prosecutors say Jones and Blaes sexually abused the girl and used a camera to document the abuse. The images were posted online.
Blaes pleaded guilty to the conspiracy and to transporting a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct. He is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 19.

- "Deep sea boat. Excellent seafaring craft. Believed to be used to aid disposal."
- — GTA Vice City Website.
The Grotti Tropic is a large drivable boat in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, GTA: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V.
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
Earlier iterations of the Tropic prior to GTA IV are essentially flybridge motor yachts or cabin cruisers, evidently featuring living space on the lower compartment of the boat and a partially covered bridge on top; in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, a small kitchen is visible from the door in the back, while in GTA San Andreas, the front windows are semi-transparent, allowing the player to see a small living area with red curtains, tables and two sofas. The Tropic in GTA Vice City Stories, however, is sharply reduced in height, with its top chopped and featuring an open flybridge.
It is also one of the boats wanted by the Civil Asset Forfeiture Impound for export in GTA Vice City Stories.
In GTA IV, the Tropic is still a cabin cruiser but has a low-profile cabin housed in its bulky hull and has moderate speed. The boat, however, is distinguishable from other speedboats by its accessories. For any Tropics with an optional spoiler, retractable roofs (front, back, or both) or a glass fairing (front only) may be further attached on the spoiler itself. As the boat is reduced to a size smaller than even the Jetmax or Squalo, the title of largest boat now belongs to the Tug Boat, which is easily twice the size of the pre-GTA IV Tropic. If you jump when in the cabin the roof isn't solid.
The Tropic returns as seen in the Gameplay Trailer. It has a lot of different design from GTA IV. It also has a different spoiler and different paint job.
Despite its size and weight, the Tropic in GTA Vice City has an exceptional top speed, and it is capable of sustaining 130 km/h (81 mph) in calm waters and 100-110 km/h (62-69 mph) in choppy waters, although its ability to turn at high speeds is poor. In GTA Vice City Stories, however, is generally one of the slowest of all boats (in a similar level as the Marquis and Rio) due to its size and weight.
The GTA IV rendition features greatly improved performance, but remains a lower-end speedboat, though it is the third-fastest boat, having a similar speed as the game's Dinghy. For this reason, it is the least commonly used boat in the multiplayer races of GTA IV.
The GTA San Andreas rendition is remarkably fast, comparable to a Squalo, due to the fact it's powered by two large Waterjet engines. It is a great boat for transporting large gangs, and great for just cruising around in the waters of San Andreas. Its only disadvantage is its horrifyingly bad turning. Even at low speeds, you'll need a mile and a half just to turn in this thing!
GTA Vice City
- Docked on the eastern side of the Vice Point-Leaf Links canal, Vice Point.
GTA San Andreas
- Spawns at Bone County, usually seen floating north of Verdant Meadows
- Usually spawns at a small dock in San Fierro below the Garver Bridge in front of a Squalo.
- Used as spy ships during the mission Vertical Bird (Obtainable).
GTA Vice City Stories
- Spawns around Starfish Island.
- Docked at the Ocean Bay Marina in Ocean Beach, at the middle dock.
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
- It appears on the waterways of Liberty City.
- Sometimes spawns at a small dock next to Faustin's Mansion in Beachgate, at the end of the road.
- Spawns at a pier at the boatyard from Catch the Wave on Charge Island.
- Can be bought on the DockTease website for $22,000.
- In GTA San Andreas, if you jump on the bow (front) of the Tropic and walk towards the front window, CJ will suddenly appear either underwater underneath the Tropic or appear in Blue Hell.
- Also in GTA San Andreas, if you look through the Tropic's windows while surrounded by water, you will notice that there is no water. This is also present in the Reefer, Predator, and any other boat with windows.

Jet Lag and Melatonin
Topic Overview
Jet lag is caused by flying in an airplane and crossing one or more time zones, which can disrupt the body's sleep and wake cycle (circadian rhythms). Jet travel across time zones may make it difficult for you to fall asleep, stay asleep, or stay awake during the day.
The effects of jet lag usually are greater if you are going from west to east than from east to west.
The symptoms of jet lag may take one to several days to go away.
- When you fly east, the number of days it takes to recover from jet lag will be about two-thirds the number of time zones you cross. For example, if you cross six time zones, it will take you about 4 days to get back to normal.
- When you fly west, the number of days to recover equals about half the number of time zones. So if you cross six time zones, it will take you 3 days to recover.
Melatonin is a hormone the body makes that regulates the cycle of sleeping and waking. Taking melatonin may help "reset" your sleep and wake cycle. Some studies show that using it reduces how much jet lag people report on both eastward and westward flights.1 But other studies have not shown a benefit.2
You can try taking melatonin to reduce the symptoms of jet lag. Suggestions about times and dosages vary among researchers who have studied melatonin. Recommendations include:
- Taking melatonin after dark the day you travel and after dark for a few days after arriving at your destination.
- Taking melatonin in the evening a few days before you fly if flying eastward.
The long-term side effects of melatonin have not been well studied. If you have epilepsy or are taking blood thinners such as coumadin (Warfarin), talk to your doctor before using melatonin.
There are other things you can do to decrease the effects of jet lag. Be rested before your flight, and try to walk around during the flight so that you are not confined to cramped spaces for long periods of time. Drink lots of water, because the air in jets tends to be dry. Vitamins and herbal remedies that can be bought without a prescription can also be tried to help reduce jet lag.

Barry joins Ash and the gang as they take a blimp to Canalave City. As soon as they disembark, Team Rocket--disguised as photographers--offers to take a commemorative picture of everyone and their Pokemon. Even Barry, after some encouragement, reluctantly sends out his Empoleon. It turns out to be a Team Rocket trap, of course, but our heroes' Pokemon fight back and cause a huge explosion that sends all the Pokemon soaring out of sight. Meowth and Mime Jr. land next to Pikachu and Pachirisu and Meowth hatches a cunning plan by pretending to be Pikachu's new ally. Ash finds Gliscor and Staravia right away, then sends them after Team Rocket's balloon. Staravia is distracted by Team Rocket's lovely Staravia decoy, but Gliscor manages to take down the balloon, forcing Jessie and James to search the city on foot.
As the search continues through the mazelike streets of Canalave City, Team Rocket and our heroes manage to find some of their Pokemon. And just in the nick of time, both Ash and Team Rocket spot Pikachu's group. But Meowth's secret plan won't work if Pikachu reunites with Ash first, so Meowth leads Pikachu in the wrong direction! Ash still finds Pikachu's group first, so Meowth and Mime Jr. ask our heroes if they can join the good guys. Meowth is tired of being abused by Jessie and James--or so he says...
As they head to the Pokemon Center, Meowth and the gang fall into a Team Rocket pit trap. Jessie and James are indignant when Barry tells them Meowth has switched sides and a Pokemon battle breaks out! Once Ash's Buizel and Barry's Empoleon defeat Team Rocket without a second thought, Meowth realizes where his true royalties lie. He turns on the twerps and the fight is on, but not for long. A triple attack from Buizel, Empoleon and Piplup sends all of Team Rocket blasting into the sky! With everyone safely reunited, Barry sets off for Iron Island, while Ash sets his sights on the Canalave Gym.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- A survey by the NRF's Retail Advertising and Marketing Association shows fans will spend nearly $12.3 billion on the Super Bowl, a little over $68 per person.
Three quarters will spend cash on snacks and beverages.
An analysis by finance Website, Nerd Wallet, finds one party staple will really take a bite out of your budget.
"It looks like the biggest hit to your budget really will be coming from chicken wings, actually. They're going to be up about 15 to 20 percent in terms of prices from last year's Super Bowl, from the 2012 Super Bowl. That's mostly because of the demand and the drought," says Matthew Ong.
According to Nerd Wallet's analysis, beer prices have ticked up only slightly over the last few years.
More than 7.5 million households are expected to buy a new TV before the big game, compared with 5.1 million last year.
And deal seekers may be in luck.
Retail Analyst Ong says, "You're actually going to find pretty good prices for those big HDTVs which is a little counterintuitive because demand is up, but there are a couple of other factors driving that as well."
Those factors, a combination of typically lean January sales and stores clearing shelves for new models.
And nearly 60 million participants surveyed by the National Retail Federation say they will go to a Super Bowl party while 39 million plan to host one.
