Bowen to step down as health services director
Posted January 11, 2002; 11:33 a.m.
Dr. Pamela Bowen will be stepping down as director of University Health Services at the end of the academic year in June.
Bowen, who has been in that position since 1991, plans to leave the University to undertake a new project addressing issues in health care and health education for domestic and foreign students from diverse cultural backgrounds.
"I am grateful to Pamela Bowen for her leadership of University Health Services and, most important, for her commitment to ensuring that our students receive the best possible health care," said Janet Smith Dickerson, vice president for campus life.
Bowen said she is most proud of "building a highly competent professional, administrative and support staff devoted to serving the students and employees of the University." Part of that effort involved reorganizing the staff to centralize and consolidate services by function.
Another accomplishment during her tenure was bringing information technology into the health center, she said. "Our new medical management systems have improved our practice, given us access to more information about our patients in a better way and allowed us to track their health more effectively," she said.
Bowen said that the aim of her new venture will be to promote the delivery of optimal, culturally appropriate health care and health education in postsecondary institutions for national and international students from different cultures. "I plan to establish a program to educate professionals in higher education who advise, treat, counsel and teach students from other cultures and countries," she said.
She sees such a program taking shape through research, dissemination of information and networking (workshops, consultations and Internet strategy) -- all devoted to the cultural and medical issues involved in providing health care to culturally diverse students. "With the increase in international students coming to this country and the changing demographics of our domestic students, the time is good to take up these issues," she said.
Bowen has a longstanding interest in the subject. From 1990 to 1992, she chaired the NAFSA: Association of International Educators/American College Health Association Joint Committee on International College Health. She also has written several articles for professional journals on the topic.
Bowen came to Princeton from the University of Pittsburgh, where she served as staff physician and as medical administrator in the student health service between 1977 and 1991. She also has been a physician at Rutgers and Carnegie Mellon universities.
A past president of the American College Health Association, she received its Ruth Boynton Award for distinguished service in 2000 and was named a fellow of the association in 1994. Bowen also has been president of the Mid-Atlantic College Health Association and received its John Hargleroad Award for dedicated service in 1997. She is currently a member of the board of directors of the American College Health Foundation.
Also active in the community, Bowen is a trustee of the William Alexander Procter Foundation and chair of the oversight committee of the Episcopal Church at Princeton University.
Dickerson is in the process of convening a committee to search for Bowen's successor.

Celebrate the Season - Fall Baking Recipe Magazine Contest 2010 shared by Merry Graham from Newhall, CA
"My son loves muffins rolled in cinnamon-sugar. His leave from the Navy brought him home before Thanksgiving but returning before the big meal. He deserved something special! I added his favorite caramel to the muffin recipe. The results? A moist muffin that traveled well enough to make it back to his ship!" Merry Graham

"Transforming the Public Dialogue on Government" topic of Binghamton University Forum
BINGHAMTON, NY – "Transforming the Public Dialogue on Government: 21st Century Challenges and the Role of the Public Sector," will be the topic of the Binghamton University Forum breakfast program on Tuesday, March 19. A breakfast buffet will begin at 7:30 a.m at the Binghamton Club, 83 Front Street, in Binghamton, followed by the formal program at 8:00 a.m.
Guest speaker Eric Swartz, a public policy expert and former White House and United Nations advisor, earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Binghamton University in 1979. During his 25-year career in public service, his positions have included U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration; UN Deputy Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery; and Senior Director and Special Assistant to the President for Multilateral and Humanitarian Affairs. In 2011, he was named Dean of the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Policy at the University of Minnesota.
Swartz received his law degree from New York University School of Law, where he was a recipient of a Root-Tilden-Snow Scholarship for commitment to public service through law and his master's degree in public affairs from the Woodrow Wilson of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University.
The Binghamton University Forum is a membership organization comprised of business, professional and community leaders that brings nationally known authorities to speak at functions throughout the year. For more information, call the Forum office at (607) 777-4390.

I also updated the ffmpeg snapshot, which means that current CVS of everything now supports ALAC (Apple lossless), too.
The rushers will notice that it doesn't work in Totem, which is on purpose; Totem is heavily threaded, and threading breaks the DLL directly (see README). I'm unsure why, and would love to get some help from someone familiar with Wine or Xine (the DLL loading code is a direct cp -a from the Xine tree) code in this process (contact me on IRC in #gnome-hackers). Once that's fixed, I'll do a real release and add it to the repositories so people using Totem-GStreamer can finally enjoy those dreaded Apple.com trailers. :-).
As for the language code detection, I should implement it for mkv/ogm too, I guess.
Totem So lately, I've been doing stability and finetuning work for Totem. It's nice to see that it "just works" most of the time, I've wanted this kind of a media player for years. Looks good, works well and hey, it's GStreamer-based. Other people are also helping, such as Christoph Burghardt, who's working on a zoom feature using the GStreamer backend. I'm trying to get a friend into fixing the unimplemented aspect-ratio menu item, it's his first C code, so it'll require some guidance, but that's good. In other parts, the nautilus properties page, thumbnailer and mozilla plugin all also received a lot of finetuning love. All in all, I think I can be a bit proud of the whole thing - even though it is still mostly Bastien's work. ;-).
The result of that is that the plugin and the child application (which is spawned on its own for security reasons) interact using some basic IPC command-set. This, in combination with the javascript-functionality, means that I can click images on a HTML page and the player will react as it should. The javascript-calls are compatible with Quicktime Player. Woohoo, finally a kick-ass mozilla media player. :-). Get your daily dose of Totem-CVS today!
Other people release, too
Also, one of our new GStreamer supporters, Jon Lech Johansen, released pyMusique today, which is a Gtk-application that lets you buy music from the iTunes Music Store from your GNOME desktop. I'm already a happy user of this piece of software. Great work, Jon!
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

So sorry, that really sucks.
My little guy, who is now six months old, stayed at the vet for 9 days.
He never tested positive for Parvo in 3 tests but my vet thinks it was Parvo.
He became ill a week after his third series of shots, you just never know and can't be to careful.
He is now healthy and happy, shows no signs of being sick. I feel extremely lucky!!!
Good Luck to you and RIP Cash

Despite being more than three years since posting my last diary entry here, I'm contributing more to Free Software than ever before. Cream is better than ever, and open source has grown bigger than I could have imagined.
Reflecting back, I realize now that even small skills can add quite a bit to projects. I've become proficient in building Nullsoft installers, and can now offer them to various projects that can use one.
I've been 100 percent Free Software for several years now. This has meant the suspension of genealogical research waiting for GRAMPS to mature, but that time is quickly approaching. It has also meant I've been able to do no CAD at home, but I hope that in the next three years this, too, could change. Hopefully, it won't be 3 years until the next posting, but we'll see.

Happy Birthday Tee-Eye!
Now if Hasbro would produce and ship some more cool toys I could go to the toy store to get, I'd actually be YOUNGER than I was when I wished you a Happy Birthday LAST YEAR.
I did get SSC General Grievous though. That gave me back a few months.
I think I'd like Star Wars Bobble Head Slot Racing Cars though. I would sit on the floor blowing bubbles in Big League Chew with my hat on backwards making the JarJar car race the Wicket-The-Ewok one and make snorting sounds when I crashed them on the criss-cross track.
Then I could truly become more immature.
As for right now, I have very serious hope of returning to a pre-teen state before Episode 7. But we'll see how good Rebels turns out.
It will debut before I have another birthday.
Oh - and if I don't get dumped by my girlfriend for downloading and watching 6.5 more hours of Animated Clone Wars on her Netflix, I can also regress a little more. But I don't think she's into dating Ages 4 & Up however. I gotta be careful how I do this - maybe when she's studying for her midterms?
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Still a few hours left for your first official birthday in retirement, eh?
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

Jeff Goodwin
You're right, PBO himself isn't doing his own promotion; he's got Rahm for that. The WH was completely silent before the SEALs took their shots. Call me crazy, but it was so they could distance themselves from the event should the good Capt Phillips have died. Only after did Rahm start spewing how in control and decisive our precious PBO was...
By the way, he was obliged through law to allow the SEALs to use deadly force from the beginning.
Furthermore Jeff, what they should have done is killed the pirates on Day One. Also, we should sink every Somali ship we see without question. There is no other reason those people are there other than piracy. That makes them criminals and terrorists, these SOB's can't claim they were just "digging a hole in the side of the road" like some of the Iraqi Skinnies did. These Somalis cannot claim innocence while being on a ship, armed and participating in piracy...
What more could they have done!? go back and reread my initial post. I had a few ideas, and it only took me, what like 5 seconds to come up with that?
Listen, for what it's worth, I have been in combat and I know that the SEALs were waiting on some beaurocratic/politics compost heap of "Rules of Engagement." Meaning, they had to wait until they could see that the pirates meant to use deadly force, and therefore the SEALs could use and "equivalent and fair" use of force against them. My issue with this is Capt Phillips was in harm's way the entire time. They took him with no other intention that either getting their money, or killing him so next time they took a hostage, the ransom payers knew they meant business...
So Richard Phillips sat on a boat with 4-5 captors all with guns for 5-6 days waiting to see if his country would rescue him. Waiting to see if he will die in the next minute. Waiting to see if someone would do more than talk reasonably with unreasonable people...
Jeff, I hope you don't think I'm being rude to you man. I am definitely distressed by this situation because I've been there, I've seen it, and I've been held back from doing what I knew to be right because we have to worry more about a newspaper report (or paperwork) than the lives of men and women who have earned their Citizenship.
If you can't see this, then I can't say anything that will ever change your mind.

I am waiting for BHO to apologize to the pirates and the rest of the world again - that we acted with arrogance - when we killed their comrade.
Haven't lost all faith in the White House - but not much left ----oops -
There is SO much "left" in the white house----- I don't think they have a right.
"Arguing with Idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon..... No matter how good you are, the bird is going to sh$t on the board and strut around like it won anyway."
I especially like this part;
"In permitting members of the Navy Seals to shoot the pirates holding the captain, Richard Phillips, Mr. Obama navigated a crisis that played out in full view of the world."
And then;
Obama Signals More Active Response to Piracy
"WASHINGTON — President Obama vowed Monday to "halt the rise of piracy" off the coast of Africa following the dramatic rescue of an American merchant captain, foreshadowing a longer and potentially more treacherous struggle ahead as he weighs a series of problematic options."
Maybe I am making this up??
Maybe it's being overplayed!!
Especially from those that loathe the military and all things USA!!
(BTW---I said "headlines," that is plural, all of them, not just the one you like!!)
I don't really want to argue with you, you seem to be a well read, learned man.
But my country that I know, LOVE, served and fought for is being mongrelized.
I guess I have to deal with it, but I do NOT have to like it!!
Obama represents everything I dissaprove of in America today.

For all you John Wayne types, you might also take note that within the last few days the French went storming in when the pirates had a compliment of a French yacht hostage. The French owner ended up getting killed. In hostage situations our police almost never go storming directly in.
I don't think the rescue of the good captain of the Alabama is the end of it. Stay tuned.

Well, ol' John Wayne had great lines for the movies but the movies ain't real life. Skill and finesse is not defined by throwing a stick of dynamite in every outhouse.
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
French hostage, dead. American hostage, alive. I like the way we did it better; I would imagine the captain and his family do as well.
Unless they agree with some of you that John-Wayne-ing it and dying for the privilege would have been better... (which would have immediately been compared to the failed attempt to secure the Iranian hostages under Carter's administration... so I fail to see the glory in that...)
So it turned out alright; the President laid low, the SEALS did their thing, most of the bad guys are dead and the good guys are alive, and people are expressing relief and gratitude. And you're upset? How patriotic is THAT?
And one more thing--I'm the first to say that there are far more upsetting things going on with the Obama administration--and the government as a whole--than this incident points to. What's the deal with all the drama???
Oh wait... pirates... yeah...
So long as there are pirates in the world, everyone will be able to keep the debate emotional and meaningless, just where we like it.
Carry on.

luvalabI believe there were several hostages on the French ship, not just one. That made the Capt. Phillips' situation a bit easier. Had there been more hostages, U.S. tactics might have been different.French hostage, dead. American hostage, alive. I like the way we did it better; I would imagine the captain and his family do as well.
No doubt about it, Capt. Phillips made a smart and brave deicision when he convinced the pirates to take just one hostage.

Getting the Best Assistance from a Phoenix Bankruptcy Lawyer
No matter what you do, there are times when circumstances will push you to the wall and prevent you from meeting your financial obligations. For most people such situations are very distressing and may cause many psychological problems. Filing for bankruptcy is one of the best ways through which you can protect your property until such a time when you can pay of your debts. If you live in the state of Arizona, you can get the services of a Phoenix bankruptcy lawyer to help you out.
Filing for bankruptcy in Phoenix usually takes about half a year and ensures that you are not only relieved of debts but also given the opportunity to pay your creditors as fairly as you possibly can. Through this process, you will be protected from your creditors who can no longer institute legal proceedings against you and neither can they repossess your property and sell it to recover their money.
In order to get the best services from your lawyer within the Phoenix area, you need to ensure you take into consideration a few factors first. One of these considerations is the amount of money you will be charged for the service. By the time you are filing for bankruptcy, you really have no money and can therefore not afford to pay a lot for the process. The best way to benefit from legal service in this case is by ensuring you select lawyers who offer free first time consultation as well as flexible quotes depending on the complexity of your case. While it is true that most law firms will get the filing of bankruptcy process completed in half a year or so, there are times when you cannot afford to wait that long. In such situations, you need to work with legal firms that take less time to complete the process with some taking less than a month. This will ensure you do not get harassed longer than you need to.
Phoenix, Arizona has its fair share of lawyers who are versatile as far s their legal practice is concerned. In order to get the best legal help with bankruptcy however, it is important that you get access to lawyers who specialize in this aspect of the law. This ensures that all the attention will be concentrated on your case and that the lawyer you pay for has enough experience to make your bankruptcy filing as painless as possible.
Since bankruptcy can be on either a personal or a business level, it is important that you work closely with your lawyer to get the best possible advice. Your Phoenix bankruptcy lawyer knows more than you do in this regard and you should therefore be truthful when admitting what you owe. You may have to use either a chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy filing on a personal level or business bankruptcy on a business level.
Getting the best legal services is therefore the most important step you can take to protect your property as well as your peace of mind. You should therefore ensure that you research carefully before selecting the Phoenix lawyer that is best suited to your needs.

Essential Escrow Tips For New Home Buyers
Purchasing the right piece of real estate can be an overwhelming task. There are numerous questions that you should ask and ideas you should keep in mind before putting your pen to paper. Reading as much as you can on real estate, can be a great way to ensure that you are getting what you want. This article contains a number of tips that you can use to help you determine what the right real estate is for you.
When you are in the market to buy a home, do not go looking at the houses that are on the top of your price range first. It is better to look at one in the lower end of your price range. The reason for this is that if you see the more expensive one first, you will always compare the other houses to it. Miami Luxury Homes has a great luxury condos for sale to choose from, all of it to fit your budget.
Location is a big part of the real estate selection process. Look into the surrounding areas as much as you do the features of the home.

Get information about shopping, law enforcement, hospitals and doctor's offices, day-care and schools and the traffic and parking to be sure it will be convenient for your family.

Public attitudes and perception of religion in government to be examined, Oct. 9
Posted October 5, 2001; 12:24 a.m.
"The People, Politics and the Pulpit" is the topic of a talk to be presented at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C., will discuss his recent writings on public attitudes toward the media and the perception of religion in government. He argues that, with the increased blurring of the church-state divide, Americans are looking toward the media to objectively cover the sensitive nature of this topic without journalists falling prey to their own personal religious biases.
Kohut has been involved in polling and public opinion for more than 20 years. Formerly the president of the Gallup organization, he also founded Princeton Survey Research Associates, a private polling and market research firm. He is a frequent contributor to The New York Times, National Public Radio and "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer."
The lecture is sponsored by the Center for the Study of Religion and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs Office of External Affairs.

mattel is really terrible at confirming things but a michael schumacher ferrari is coming as well as a hamm (toy story) car. there are also movie moments 2 packs with woody + buzz, mike + sully
Just found a site that has pictures and a list of lots of new "Cars" cars for this and next year.
so if it's from wikipedia, it has to be official!
i think a lot of the wiki info on these toys comes from the cars board that i frequent. www.carsthetoys.com
North Hollywood Target has the new "Supercharged" cars. I only found a Yellow Ramone- the rest were repacks of the original sets. The back of my Ramone card shows a "Dirt Track McQueen" which I wasn't aware of, and the "Brand New Mater".
Grabbed a Radiator Springs McQueen at Target this morning- the new figures must be 1-2 per case, because both times I have asked them to open a case, half of it is the old carded versions, then about 8 of the new "supercharged" cards, but most of them are repacks. All I really want now is a Hudson Hornet- but it might take a while to find these on the pegs.
i had no luck at the 2 Targets, 2 TRU's and WM that i went to today. i did pick up the Sarge/Fillmore/Ramone/Mater 4 pack from WM, however. call it the SW battlepack effect of being suckered into boxed versions of toys you already own
someone put up a "brand new mater" (blue version) and hamm up on everyone's favorite auction site so those two cars should be hitting stores in a few weeks.
Burbank Target finally got the Supercharged single cars- but all repacks when I arrived.
picked up both Sarge and Filmore as well as Red and Stanley. Loved this movie picked it up last week and watched it Monday. Loved the bonus feature of Mater and the ghostlight.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Temporary Closures, Snow Days, Etc.: Not Compensable - The Maryland Guide to Wage Payment and Employment Standards
An employer may temporarily close its business for any reason and for any length of time without offering special compensation to non-exempt employees who cannot go to work as a result. This is commonly true, for example, during snow emergencies. However, for salaried employees who fit the definition of Executive, Administrative or Professional (defined in this Guide at paragraph V. B.), and who are ready, willing, and able to work, deductions may not be made for time when work is not available. Doing so will remove this category of employee from exempt salary status, entitling the worker to payment of overtime.

The Neighborhood Drug Lord
Since all he does is smoke weed, watch movies, and play video games, your Neighborhood Drug Lord already has an intense high-def entertainment system with surround sound. He's also a king of media; you know not to call on Tuesday afternoons because he's at Bull Moose copping DVDs on the day they get released. As for gadgets, homeboy has a new smartphone every time you see him, which is sort of depressing since you spend $100 a week on shit and still have a Motorola flip with a cracked screen.
Still, the Drug Lord is not difficult to shop for, since he's always looking to show off new and interesting pop-culture kitsch to customers. Just about anything that's Star Wars-, comic book-, or conspiracy-related will do, as will books and documentaries about drug culture and ill-gotten gains. If you do decide on a movie, though, just be sure that it's something you like, since he'll probably push you to watch it next time you swing by for a bag. And no matter what, don't buy him a scale — you'll just regret it when he uses it in front of you to weigh another gram you can't afford.
CHEAP DESIGNER SURGICAL MASK | $1.49 FOR A BOX OF TEN | Drug lords always seems to be complaining about how about wired they get off coke fumes in the bagging process. You once suggested that he wear a surgical mask, only for him to snap back, "I'm not exactly mixing up a batch of meth in here." However, if adorned with a cool enough pattern, he may be persuaded to sport the protection he needs. You'll have to make this yourself, as there's not much of a marketplace for designer surgical masks — except in like, Japan, where they have shit like Hello Kitty on them. If you're really in the giving spirit, you can also throw in some latex gloves so his hands don't get icky while breaking up those sticky nuggets.
KINDA FANCY GOOD WOOD MEDALLION | $15 AND UP | Now would be the time to put your Drug Lord onto Good Wood. He likes being ahead of the curve, and by this time next year, every two-bit nick-bag street hustler will have a cobbled pot leaf or Tupac bust hanging from their necks. The New York–based wood jewelry company makes custom pieces but also offers a stock variety of such urban staples as a boombox, Polo bears, and angry Jesus Christ. For Drug Lord, we recommend the piece depicting the black Frank White himself, Biggie Smalls. Matching four-finger rings not included (but are available).
DELUXE 15-POUND TURDUCKEN | $79-$125 (including shipping) | If there's one thing the Drug Lord hates, it's leaving the house. For anything. He gets entire pizzas delivered for himself instead of walking for a slice, and one time, he gave someone a freebie just for fetching his mail at the curb. So imagine how excited he'll be when the van rolls up with a 15-pound bird-inside-a-bird-inside-a-bird. Not only will the Jurassic turkey legs satisfy his self-styled kingpin image, but this is also good for you and anyone else who will be forced to stick around for some poultry and vaporizer hits.
RIDICULOUS CRUISE SHIP | $31 MILLION | After countless conversations with your local Drug Lord about how cool it would be to have a cruise line where everyone can just take drugs and fuck whores without fear of prosecution, you've decided to take the plunge and make his nihilistic dreams come true. Since new models are extremely pricey, the vintage yacht that caught our eye is a steel 1970 Finnish beauty with 538 cabins, a disco-casino, two swimming pools, and eight passenger decks. There's also a workout gym that he won't be needing, and which is perfect for the grow operation.

When it comes to Guantánamo, President Obama is still stuck. It's clear the detention facility won't close any time soon. That leaves many people, in and out of the administration, in the United States and overseas, wondering: What's next for Guantánamo?
But that's the wrong question. Debates about Guantánamo continue to entertain with political drama and storylines like those in "24," but they typically ignore larger problems surrounding long-term detention that have confounded the US and international community for years. As a result, the American public has yet to face the toughest question of all: What happens after Guantánamo?
This has little to do with the detention facility itself or whether the 192 detainees remaining there are held in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, or in a prison in Thomson, Illinois. Rather, it's about how the US approaches long-term detention - for the subset of nearly 50 detainees considered too dangerous to release even if not prosecuted and for transnational terrorists captured in the future. While counterterrorism experts stress that detention is a critical tool in the war against Al Qaeda, it represents a strategic vulnerability for the US. Terrorists can - and probably will - use US detention operations as a recruiting tool no matter how or where they're carried out. Moving forward, the key will be to minimize this effect to the greatest extent possible.
The next chapter in US detention efforts must begin with President Obama further shifting the tone of the detainee debate, particularly for those most affected by US detention efforts - Muslim communities overseas whose sons and brothers are detained at Guantánamo and who are the primary targets of Al Qaeda recruiters.

Does anybody know the progress of this and does this mean that Zahn is going to be writing about prequal characters like Anakin and Padme instead of the OT characters? Also, when did the destruction of the Outbound Flight Project take place? Clone wars?

Speed, speed, and more speed! That's my only wish...
I'm starting to think about Dee Milliner or Jonathan Banks in the 1st rd (especially if the Dolphins keep tanking) and then in rds 2 and 3 Dobson and Da'Rick Rogers. 2 quality WRs, a stud CB and a couple of pass rushers would be nice. Hartline is an average 2 and Bess is an average 3, the hype is fading as it should. The FO has to get Tannehill some help, let him stretch the field.
Tavon Austin was everywhere last night. He's ridiculously fast and very tough for his size. Terrance Williams also looked good last night.
I hope you guys saw the Stedman Bailey show last night. One of you draft clowns "put the tape on" from last night.
What Stedman Bailey did AGAINST a pro level DB, was demonstrate to everyone how to run routes, how to get open, how to play the ball in the air, and how to make catches on the boundries. Thats all he does. Thats what he excels at. And thats the 4 characteristics along with great hands that translates into being a good NFL WR.
The only knock on this kid is his height. Just watch him play the ball in the air though and you will see its not that big of a deal. The way he uses the boundries is incredible too. And just because Austin is in a class of his own when it comes to open field moves, dont think Bailey cant make people miss too. He has shown at times a great ability to make a catch over the middle and make people miss to find the sticks and move the chains.
If this guy falls to round 2 and we dont take him we arent trying. He reminds me a lot of Steve Smith. When you consider that he was slowed down for about 3 weeks with a bad ankle, it makes his stats even more amazing. I think he still leads the country in TD catches. He had 4 last night while being covered all night by Oklahoma's best DB.
Bailey is the most pro ready WR in the draft. He's the only receiver I could not forgive the Dolphins for passing up in the second, esp with the lower second.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. - S. Beckett
I dont want D Rogers. I just dont think he is that good.
Stedman Bailey is the WR I want us to draft in round two. I know he is only in the 5'10" range but nobody tracks the flight of the ball and comes down with the ball like him. He can have all kinds of guys around him and hanging on him, and he still makes the catch. He's tough...something we need...I think this guy will be like Steve Smith and will be able to handle the hits.

Weather service issues winter storm advisories
Crashes reported during Thursday morning rush hour
MADISON, Wis. - The National Weather Service has issued winter storm watches and advisories for areas in southern Wisconsin until Thursday night.
Forecasters are tracking a storm with potential snowfall of 6 to 8 inches primarily east of a line from Kewaskum to Darien, with lesser amounts for the rest of the state. This storm could also produce sleet and some freezing rain in southern Wisconsin.
Officials said travel may be difficult on secondary and untreated roads in those areas, especially during the Thursday morning rush hour.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning east of Dane County until midnight Friday morning.
A winter weather advisory is in effect for Dane County and areas west until 6 p.m. Thursday.
Meteorologist Gary Cannalte said Thursday will be mostly cloudy with occasional snow, possibly mixed with sleet, freezing rain, or rain, mainly south and southwest of Madison. He said additional accumulations of 1-4 inches are likely during the day Thursday, with the heaviest amounts north and east of Madison.
Light snow will end Thursday night with additional accumulations of 1-2 inches in the evening, mainly east of Madison, Cannalte said, with total accumulations of 2-7 inches with the heaviest amounts northeast of Madison.
Madison Streets Superintendent Chris Kelley said the city we will keep 28 trucks on salt routes and add two sanders to work on hills, curves and intersections of residential streets on Thursday.
Madison is expected to see mixed precipitation change over to snow. The snow is expected to continue to fall throughout most of Thursday morning.
Depending on how this storm develops, the city of Madison may continue working on salt routes in the morning or switch to a larger plowing operation, Kelley said.
Kelley said drivers are reminded to leave early, drive slow, and be on the lookout for ice, especially on bridge decks and intersections.

With small business budgets often stretched to the limit, it is difficult for the owners to choose the best means of investing money while still allowing growth of their businesses. According to studies, the number of people using the internet on mobile-only devices is on a steady rise. In fact, we may all soon be seeing a smartphone-only generation, wherein cell phones are the primary source for accessing the internet. This is why small businesses need to start making significant strides when it comes to the mobile app market.

Mine would go like this
1). Aaron Donald DT Pittsburgh
2). Sammy Watkins WR Clemson
3). Khalil Mack OLB Buffalo- God, i love this kids passion that plays out on the field.
4). Eric Ebron/Jace Amaro- Tied. Can't pick just one.
5). Deone Bucannon S Washington St- Big and strong but also a ballhawk. Can lay the wood and make plays on the ball. Love em!
6). Trent Murphy DE Stanford- Maybe not the best, but a ton of fun to watch. Long and lean, tough and racks up sacks.
7). Anthony Barr OLB Ucla
8). Stephon Tuitt DT/DE Notre Dame- When this guys on, he takes games over.
9). Mike Evans WR Tex A&M
10). Scott Crichton
A lot of people aren't naming them, but I think Hageman and Clinton-Dix are strong candidates if I had to choreograph the front office. I don't think the best WRs will be available by 10, and picking a guard at 12 is still asinine imo. With exception of nose tackle, I think they can pick any position on defense for the draft.
Giants do need a 3T, and I would imagine they'd love Hageman's measurables. Safety is seemingly low on the totem pole upon first sight, but you never know with Will Hill being a moron, Brown coming off ACL surgery and Rolle entering a contract year at the age of 32.
I actually think Dix is one of the few Bama players on defense that isn't overrated. They were really deficient at cornerback this year in which you can see a vast difference in his coverage this year from last. He can really be an arrow to the ball, even against the run.

You're considering a career in law. Or maybe you just want to find out more about becoming a lawyer.
Are you familiar with the vast range of career options available to those with legal training? Have you asked yourself why you might like to be a lawyer? Do you know what you need to do to become one? Are you willing to spend several years studying law in order to do so?
Becoming a lawyer -- and practicing law -- is not easy. A career in law, however, can be extremely rewarding. And it can be a good fit for many different kinds of people from many different cultural, ethnic and educational backgrounds.
There is no one "lawyer" type of person or job. As a lawyer, you might choose to prosecute accused criminals, for example, or negotiate real estate deals, advise corporations, help arrange adoptions, work to protect the environment or teach law.
A legal career can provide you with an opportunity to help people, businesses or governments solve problems. And you can play a crucial role in our justice system as well. As a lawyer, you truly can make a difference.
This pamphlet summarizes the general requirements for becoming a California lawyer. It also touches on the many opportunities available to those who pursue a legal career. We hope it assists you in planning for your future.
Lawyers are both advocates and advisors. They help solve--or prevent--legal problems for others. For example, a lawyer might:
As a lawyer, you might serve as general counsel for a corporation. You might choose to become a lawyer in a big firm. You might work for a legal services agency and help destitute families resolve their legal crises. Or you could become a prosecutor, public defender, county counsel or city attorney.
A lawyer's choice of legal fields is as varied as the society in which he or she lives. And the nature of the law-related work available within each field varies as well. No matter what you have seen on television, the practice of law is not all courtroom drama.
Many practicing lawyers rarely see the inside of a courtroom. Others do not even practice law, choosing instead to work in business, government and other law-related fields. It all depends on what appeals to you as an individual. The possibilities are virtually limitless.
In general, you must:
For a more detailed description of these admission requirements, refer to the State Bar publication entitled Rules Regulating Admission to Practice Law in California. (The requirements can vary according to the applicant's legal background.)
The publication can be found on the State Bar's Web site at www.calbar.ca.gov (click on Bar Exam in the right-hand menu). Or, to request a printed copy, call 415-538-2300.
There is no required pre-law course of study. The educational backgrounds and life experiences of law students vary widely. Taking the time to develop certain skills, however, may help prepare you for a career in law. Such skills include the ability to:
To hone such skills, you might join a school debate team, work in student government or write for a school publication. An internship or part-time job in a law office or working for an investigator might be useful as well. Ask your academic or pre-law college advisor for additional suggestions.
Applying to law school is a long process. You may have to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) nearly a year before starting law school. You will need to fill out school applications and, in many instances, write a personal essay and solicit letters of recommendation.
Also, keep in mind that admission to law school can be highly competitive. According to the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), most applicants apply to at least four law schools.
For more information on taking the LSAT and applying to law schools, visit the LSAC Web site at www.lsac.org.
The Law School Admission test (LSAT) is a law school entrance exam administered four times a year at hundreds of locations. This half-day test provides a standard measure of reading and verbal reasoning skills. Law schools use the LSAT score as one of several factors in assessing law school applicants. Many would-be law students take preparatory courses to help prepare for the test.
Choosing a law school is a big decision. Whether a particular school is right for you will depend on your circumstances, financial means, academic background, future goals and other factors.
In California, there are three types of law schools--those approved by the American Bar Association (ABA), those accredited by The State Bar of California's Committee of Bar Examiners, and those that are registered correspondence or unaccredited law schools.
ABA-approved schools and schools accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners have met certain standards regarding the school's teaching staff, curriculum, scholastic program and other factors. (Most states require graduation from an ABA-approved law school as a prerequisite to seeking admission to practice law in their state.)
In California, unlike in many other states, you need not study law at an accredited law school in order to take the bar examination. If you decide to study law at an unaccredited or correspondence law school, however, you will have to take and pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination (see #7).
For a list of California law schools, visit the State Bar's Web site (www.calbar.ca.gov). Or, write to the bar's Office of Admissions (see State Bar address on back cover). For a list of ABA-approved schools, go to the ABA's Web site (www.abanet.org).
Yes. You can meet California's legal education requirements by spending at least four years studying law under the personal supervision of a California judge of record or a California attorney in his or her law office. (The attorney must be an active member of the State Bar of California who has been in practice for the last five years or longer.) For more detailed information, visit the State Bar's Web site at www.calbar.ca.gov and click on Admissions.
It depends on your chosen course of study. All law students enrolled in unaccredited or correspondence law schools or in the law office/judge's chambers study program must pass this exam after their first year of law study.
Students who successfully complete their first year at a California-accredited or ABA-approved law school are exempt from this requirement (unless they did not finish the required two years of college work).
If a student fails the First-Year Law Students' Examination, the student can retake it without interrupting his or her legal studies. However, he or she must pass the test within a certain period of time--or lose credit for all but one year of law study.
It is a four-to-six-month inquiry into the would-be attorney's background and moral character. To practice law in California, an applicant must receive a positive moral character determination.
The process involves filling out an application, submitting fingerprint cards and providing references. In reviewing information provided by the applicant, law schools and other sources, the Committee of Bar Examiners' Subcommittee on Moral Character considers:
It's up to the applicant to show that he or she is of good moral character. Applicants who have been convicted of a violent felony or certain other serious crimes frequently are determined not to have good moral character. Drug and alcohol abuse also raise red flags.
However, many factors are taken into account and each case is considered on an individual basis. Most applicants pass the moral character screening process with ease. And if an applicant does not pass, he or she can appeal to the State Bar Court.
It is a national ethics examination that takes place three times a year. Candidates seeking to practice law in California must pass it with a scaled score of at least 86.
As a law student, you may take the test any time after completing your first year of law study.
It is an exam that must be passed before a would-be California attorney can be admitted to practice law in California. The three-day test--administered twice a year--consists of six essay questions, two performance tests and the Multistate Bar Examination (a national 200-question, multiple-choice test on constitutional law, contracts, criminal law, evidence, real property and torts).
In some instances, out-of-state attorneys seeking admission to practice law in California can apply to take the Attorneys' Examination instead (see #14).
Yes. But once you pass the exam, you must take the attorney's oath within five years to meet the requirements for practicing law in California.
You can request an exemption to this requirement. Simply submit the required form along with your State Bar registration application. To qualify for an exemption, you will have to explain why you cannot qualify for a Social Security number and state that you are not behind in fulfilling any court-ordered child or family support obligations.
Generally, no--not unless you meet additional requirements. There may, however, be some exceptions for certain types of legal work. Every state has its own rules. To find out a particular state's requirements, contact that state's bar to find out who handles attorney admissions.
In most instances, you would have to take that state's bar exam and meet other requirements as well before practicing law there.
In general, you would have to meet many of the same testing requirements as the non-attorney applicants. However, attorneys who have been admitted to active practice for at least four years in another state (and who remain in good standing) may choose to take the Attorneys' Examination rather than the General Bar Examination.
In addition, there are a few circumstances in which out-of-state attorneys are allowed to do certain types of legal work in California without meeting the usual requirements. For more specific information, visit the State Bar's Web site (www.calbar.ca.gov).
If you received your legal education and/or were admitted to practice law outside the United States, visit the State Bar's Web site for more detailed information (go to Bar Exam, then Rules Regulating Admission to Practice Law in California). Or call the State Bar at 415-538-2300.
You will find a wealth of information on the American Bar Association's Web site (www.abanet.org), the Law School Admission Council's site (www.lsac.org), and the State Bar's Web site (www.calbar.ca.gov).
You also could contact law schools directly. And you might ask a school counselor or pre-law advisor for additional resources.
We hope this pamphlet has opened your eyes to the basic requirements for becoming a lawyer and to the wide range of possibilities available to those who pursue a legal career.
The purpose of this pamphlet is to provide general information on the law, which is subject to change. If you have a specific legal problem, you may want to consult a lawyer.

TOCAINIDE (Tonocard®) is an antiarrhythmic agent. Tocainide treats irregular heart rhythm and can slow rapid heartbeats (tachycardia). Tocainide can help your heart to return to and maintain a normal rhythm. Generic tocainide tablets are not yet available.
NOTE: This drug is discontinued in the United States.
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
blood disorders
kidney disease
liver disease
lung disease
other heart problems
an unusual or allergic reaction to tocainide, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant
Take tocainide tablets by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Swallow the tablets with a drink of water. If tocainide upsets your stomach, take it with food or milk. Take your doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed.
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. There should be an interval of 4 to 6 hours between doses. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
beta blockers, often used for high blood pressure or heart problems
medicines to control heart rhythm
Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are taking, including non-prescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
Visit your prescriber or health care professional for regular checks on your progress. Do not stop taking tocainide suddenly; this may cause serious, heart-related side effects. Because your condition and the use of tocainide carry some risk, it is a good idea to carry an identification card, necklace or bracelet with details of your condition, medications and prescriber or health care professional.
Check your heart rate (pulse) and blood pressure regularly while you are taking tocainide. Ask your prescriber or health care professional what your heart rate and blood pressure should be, and when you should contact him or her. Your prescriber or health care professional also may schedule regular blood tests and electrocardiograms to check your progress.
You may feel dizzy or faint. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how tocainide affects you. To reduce the risk of dizzy or fainting spells, do not sit or stand up quickly, especially if you are an older patient. Alcohol can make you more dizzy, increase flushing and rapid heartbeats. Avoid alcoholic drinks.
Do not treat yourself for fevers, chills, cough or sore throat while you are taking tocainide without asking your prescriber or health care professional for advice.
If you are going to have surgery, tell your prescriber or health care professional that you are taking tocainide.
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:
chest pain, fast or slow heart rate, palpitations
fever, chills, or sore throat
mouth sores
shortness of breath, difficulty breathing
skin rash, redness, blistering or peeling
unusual bleeding or bruising
unusual tiredness or weakness
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
blurred vision
confusion, nervousness
increased sweating
loss of appetite
nausea, vomiting
numbness or tingling in fingers or toes
Keep out of the reach of children in a container that small children cannot open.
Store at room temperature between 15 and 30 degrees C (59 and 86 degrees F). Keep container tightly closed. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date.

Community plan suggests building dwellings on streets that have low traffic volumes.
The Auckland Council is being urged to use roads for housing as a way of solving the city's accommodation crisis. What's more, the promoter of the idea, the Parnell Community Committee, has nominated several roads in the inner-city suburb for housing and community uses.
"It's really quite obvious," says Jenni Goulding, a planning consultant to the committee. "Roading takes up a large percentage of Auckland spatially and Parnell has indicated the city needs to provide an inventory of roading that may be suitable for intensification."
Auckland has 7227km of roads, excluding state highways. The committee's plan for the future of the suburb, Tomorrow Parnell, suggests some residential roads carrying small volumes of traffic that could be "more efficiently" used as bare land for residential or commercial building and community use.
They include Augustus Tce at the bottom of Fraser Park and the northern end of Balfour Rd, opposite the Gladstone Tennis Club.
Other roading space that could be turned into community uses, such as new parkland or even a community vegetable glass house, are the Parnell Rd side of Fraser Park and the top end of St Georges Bay Rd.
The committee has also suggested closing several roads off the Parnell Rd stretch of shops at weekends to bring them to life with pedestrians.
"There are answers to making Auckland a compact city, and it is time to embrace new planning techniques because the old ones have certainly not delivered a city we are proud of," Ms Goulding said.
The council's environmental strategy and policy planning manager, Ludo Campbell-Reid, said turning roads into housing was an innovative idea, but it had not been on the council radar.
He said most of Auckland's roads, including residential roads, were overly large for the amount of traffic and had space that could be used for other uses.
An Auckland Transport spokesman said a myriad of issues would have to be looked at before any road space could be used for housing.
They included legal and access issues, the impact on services like power and water, the implications for public transport, needs for future development and road user demand.
"Vehicles are more of a liquid than a gas. Vehicles don't disappear if roads are closed for some reason. They spill onto surrounding streets, so we would have to look at the impacts on other suburban or nearby arterials," the spokesman said.
