IconRotator is a free jailbreak tweak on Ryan Petrichs beta repository by (guess who?) iOS hacker and developer Ryan Petrich. Its a well-made and fun jailbreak tweak that lets your icons rotate with your iDevices orientation in space using the device's built-in accelerometer; the icons rotate rapidly and pleasantly and the best part is: it works in all four orientations, which are illustrated above.
IconRotator is very unpretentious with little to say about it, but it serves a simple purpose of making the application icons and their names easier to read when you are holding the device abnormally. If you have Graviboard installed, IconRotator sometimes will not play nicely with it, as when you attempt to invoke Graviboard and then rotate the device to make your icons flow with gravity, IconRotator can reset the icon layout back to its original state and do its thing of rotating the icons.
Not only does IconRotator work with the application icons that are free-floating on your home screen, but it also works with application icons inside of your folders and it works with the application icons in your App Switcher. This means that its effects are uniform throughout and really gives it that Ryan Petrich-quality.
Most of us will probably only download IconRotator for entertainment purposes, but for the most part Ryan Petrich made IconRotator to be a lightweight alternative for SBRotator. If a tweak that reorients the home screens application icons to match the device's orientation is something you have always wanted, you can give IconRotator a try since it is free. Ryan Petrichs beta repo is shown below:

Mandated by the FY2000 National Defense Authorization Act, the Department of Defense's annual report to Congress discusses China's military and security strategies, technological advancements in its capabilities, military doctrine, and security issues in the Taiwan Strait.
2015: The report discusses China's interests in the Taiwan Strait and the East China and South China seas, investment in drones, and development in space and cyber capabilities.
2014: The report ties China's military modernization efforts to regional tensions in the Taiwan Strait and the East China and South China seas and critiques China's lack of openness about its military expansion strategy.
2013: For the first time, the Pentagon officially accuses the Chinese of launching cyber attacks against the U.S. Department of Defense.
2012: The executive summary states, "China's leaders are placing a priority on fostering a positive external environment to provide the PRC with the strategic space to focus on economic growth and development. At the same time, Chinese leaders seek to maintain peace and stability along their country's periphery, expand their diplomatic imfluence to facilitate access to markets, capital, and resources, and avoid direct confrontation with the United States and other countries."
2009: The 2009 edition states that "the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is pursuing comprehensive transformation from a mass army designed for protracted wars of attrition on its territory to one capable of fighting and winning short-duration, high-intensity conflicts along its periphery against high-tech adversaries – an approach that China refers to as preparing for "local wars under conditions of informatization."
2008: The introduction states that "the United States continues to encourage China to participate as a responsible international stakeholder by taking on a greater share of responsibility for the stability, resilience and growth of the global system. However, much uncertainty surrounds China's future course, in particular in the area of its expanding military power and how that power might be used."

Deeplinks Blog posts about Cell Tracking
This week, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals held, in United States v. Carpenter, that we lack any privacy interest in the location information generated by our cell phones. The opinion shows a complete disregard for the sensitive and revealing nature of cell site location information (CSLI) and a misguided response to the differences between the analog technologies addressed in old cases and the data-rich technologies of today.
On Wednesday, September 16, nine months into the 114th Congress, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on reforming the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), the federal law that regulates government access to private communications records stored by third parties.
Right now, the statute allows the government to obtain private messages that are older than 180 days—including web-based emails, social media messages, text messages, and voicemails—as well as private documents stored by "cloud" service providers like Dropbox, with an administrative subpoena. ECPA was first passed in 1986 before Congress could imagine the wealth of personal information that would be stored on third-party servers rather than private hard drives.
The Attorney General's Office of New Jersey is on a crusade to dismantle the important search and seizure protections afforded to the state's citizens. As part of the latest assault on individual rights to due process, in State v. Lunsford, the attorney general has asked the New Jersey Supreme Court to overrule its landmark decision from 1982 in State v. Hunt that requires law enforcement to acquire a warrant to obtain an individual's telephone billing records.
At long last, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced a slew of much-needed policy changes regarding the use of cell-site simulators. Most importantly, starting today all federal law enforcement agencies—and all state and local agencies working with the federal government—will be required to obtain a search warrant supported by probable cause before they are allowed to use cell-site simulators. EFF welcomes these policy changes as long overdue.
Across the country, a vigorous debate is taking place in federal and state courthouses about how privacy protections should apply to modern technologies. One of the most spirited issues in this debate is whether the Fourth Amendment requires law enforcement to get a warrant to track a person's location via their cell phone. This week EFF filed two new amicus briefs that answer that question with a resounding yes.

I seen this ,this morning and dont know that I fullly believe it.
Is this solid or another media hype?curious minds want to know and confirm these reports.
I seen this ,this morning and dont know that I fullly believe it.
Is this solid or another media hype?curious minds want to know and confirm these reports.
True, arent you proud and thankful you leave on the West side of tthe Mississippi? Im guessing the people living 10 miles East of you in the Republic of Ill. will be dealing with legislation completely different than this.
I believe there is a Mo legislator who is proposing a law to make it a felony to even introduce any bill attempting to restrictb our constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms. Grandstanding Im sure; while Im no fan of grandstanding, at least it is grandstanding on the side of freedom. That is a rare thing nowadays
Illinois sucks-thanks to Chicago and the good old boy political machine. Nothing but a bunch of corrupt maggots. .
As a kid ,I was very unhappy when my parents moved from the land of Lincoln ,but looking back I thank them every year during deer rifle season. Although far from perfect The grass seems to be greener on this side of the big creek.
I never understood why you legally had to wear a seat belt in a car ,but not a helmet on a motorcycle
This comes under the heading of "follow the money". No helmets was purely a 'freedom' issue, and government had no hold over the bikers that fought the law. It was turned back in many states, including Sodak.
Seat belts became a federal law, because it was tied to what the feds payed the states for roads. If you didn't have a seat belt law in your state, you could lose much of your federal road payments. Even in rigidly conservative Sodak, we had to put a law in. I've been fined twice for not complying. I've had more friends and relatives killed while wearing one, including my little 16 year old grand daughter, than folks I knew in accidents that were saved by them. The nanny state is just part of the federal PC ideology that claims they can protect you under all circumstances. No different than these gun control advocates that are sure 911 is the way to protect you against criminals. The current regime has no allowance for individual responsibility. Susequently drivers think they are driving bumper cars. They buckle up, eat, text, do their hair and nails, and are astonished if they are involved in an accident.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.

The Philippines: Amid floods and conflict, nearly 700,000 people need aid
The UN and aid agencies appealed for US$38 million today to help nearly 700,000 people living in war-torn and disaster-prone areas in the southern Filipino island of Mindanao.
"The situation remains fragile, and the people continue to live in fear and uncertainty," said Jacqui Badcock, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for the Philippines, who launched the appeal in the Filipino capital Manila. "Our goal is to help them rebuild their lives as quickly as possible."
The funding will be used to distribute food, water and shelter in 2012. It will also fund critical projects to rebuild basic infrastructure and ensure the protection of civilians.
An estimated 860,000 people were uprooted from their homes in June when heavy monsoon rains flooded many areas of the island. Throughout the year, a series of floods severely damaged property, vital infrastructure and agricultural crops, affecting the livelihoods of thousands of people.
Sporadic fighting between the Government and the Moro armed group has exacerbated the situation, leaving some 10,000 people displaced so far this year. Without a peace agreement, displacement figures are expected to remain high next year.

cave canem...beware of the dog
Richard Halstead (halst001 at yahoo.com)
Exactly how the hell old are you? Many practices common place in the 17th century are no longer incorporated in todays society. Use of the Bible as a text book is something I remember reading about in my history classes but have never myself experienced. If it has left such an indelible mark these many years later, I recommend counseling. I, however, am not prone to self flagellantism simply because you transition these time periods nor should my children/grandchildren experience these same practices simply to 'justify' Jeff's perceived/actual injustices.However, long before I was a graduate of the Ivy League, I was a graduate of East Tennessee elementary schools where we were required to read from the Bible every morning and, if you were Jewish, you were required to read from the New Testament to help you find Jesus.Strangely enough....I had that same experience....Democrat, however. Guess I'm just not a 'progressive' enough thinker to have been marred by that particular episode in my life as I was always taught and viewed it as respect of the office (certainly not comparable to worship of the man).The (Republican) President's photo was on the wall of every classroom directly behind the teacherI have no clue what you are suggesting here....Ole Glory herself has left a mark????? Maybe the flag of the UN would suit you better?and next to the flag.Can't speak to this one. I was the only non-mormon (excepting my sister) in my entire school (wasn't scarred by that experience either....they are fine people). That being said, they did not follow that practice even there.Much more recently, my daughter graduated from a public high school where, despite the ban on prayer in public schools, the assistant principle did a prayer to Jesus at the beginning of every school day over the PA system.Here's a novel thought. Even though half the "Dukakis" team was sprung from the very loins of an Ivy League prodigy....MAYBE THEY DESERVED A FREAKING 'C'!!!! You sound like a 'stage mom' on this one. Quick...someone get me a freaking tissue.During the Reagan-Dukakis election, her social studies teacher ridiculed Dukakis to such an extent that only two students were willing to admit to favoring him (my daughter was one). They were appointed to represent Dukakis in a "debate" against a team of four designatetd to represent Reagan. When the majority of students then decided that the "Dukakis" team had won the debate, the teacher gave each of the Dukakis team a C while giving A's to the Reagan team.
Tap dance to your hearts content but I will never buy that you wouldn't have filled your Santa Ana drawers with excrement had your grandchildren been forced to sing these same praises to GWB.
Give me a break.

A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer then the men who mention it.
You guys make me feel schizoid ... don't know who I am anymore
1) I don't really like segregating great people into "Black History Month" or "White History Month". There is an element to that which perpetuates segregation. Greatness, character, compassion, & integrity should be ageless and colorless.
2) I really don't like the idea of formalizing a kind of adulation of a specific political figure in song in a school environment as was done in this case. There must be other ways to present history and/or current events to younger children.
3) I don't think kids should be compelled to pray in school, but I also don't think that they should be prevented from praying in school if they want to; or for voluntary clubs that happen to be religiously oriented using students' own time like study halls, or after-school in the school building ... as long as all groups,including atheists are given the same individual rights. Everybody pays taxes & schools are public buildings in that regard. Why shouldn't citizens be able to use space in those public buildings if it's available?
4) I don't think teachers should inflict their personal religious or political views on the kids. They are supposed to be teaching kids to think independently about facts at hand.
5) I don't think its the end of the world if some public events begin with a prayer that reflects the faith of the person who is doing the praying. Nobody in the audience is required to pray with that person; just respect that person's right to pray. Most such public prayers try to be ecumenical. Not sure what the atheists can do ... but they aren't required to pray, so doesn't seem like a huge affront to personal freedom.
6) Some people don't play by the rules of respecting other people's individual rights. When laws are broken there are penalties for that. No real laws against being stupid or obnoxious, unless you end up breaking a law.

Far be it from me to point out that most/all of the 8/9 school board members have long since passed (probably in the last century) and as you point out the activity has been banned. Why, therefore, would you use this as an example of justification for a contempory instructor doing virtually the same thing? IT IS PROSELYTIZING!Originally Posted by yardlylabsObviously not....we only became friends and allies with the Japanese after WWII in 1/4th the time period.I would not say my experience scarred me,nor did I sayI also do not believeit warped or brainwashed anyone.
I would challenge your 'wonder mind' to consider the uneasiness of folks on the right side of the isle, the precedent set by this "skit".....to establish a ridiculous and dangerous personality cult.Puleeeeze....you reek of blind bias. A rank bull would have a better chance of safely passing 10 yrds upwind of an archery hunter then you'd have of successfully concealing your closed mind for all things Republican or Conservative. It would take more mind reading skills to understand George Patton's position on any given subject than to accurately describe yours. You remind me of a spike caught in the open, refusing to blink for fear he would further reveal his position.Maybe you shouldn't count too much on the accuracy of your mind reading skills.
'mind reading skills'.....ssht...you're laughable
Experience enough to recognize 'mature' bull regards

2. I agree. Sometimes all it takes is distance. When I was little, we would never have considered celebrating Lincoln's presidency because he had led the invasion of the south.
3. I agree. However, there is a difference between allowing the facility to be used passively and using the social position and power of the school to further a message.
4. I actually think that every teacher brings his or her personal values and beliefs into the classroom every day. The only question is how honestly those beliefs are handled. In 8th grade, my son's science teacher was a creationist. He was incapable of teaching a lesson on evolution without proving, to his own satisfaction, that it was wrong. Students were given assignments to write essays that presented the arguments of how creationism made it clear that evolution was impossible. He justified this as being neutral since he only required that they know and be able to state the arguments and did not require that they actually accept them. In my mind that was a dishonest way of addressing his beliefs. However, contrary to dback's assumptions, I told my son that it was a fair assignment and that he should be able to do as the teacher requested. If he did not understand the arguments, how could he realistically form an opinion for or against?
5. I disagree. If prayer is meaningful, it does not need to be said in a group or even out loud. Nothing prevents any individual from praying any time they wish to do so. The only purpose of public prayer at, for example, a school function, is to use the weight of the group to bring tacit pressure on all to conform. There is no such thing as an ecumenical prayer. In my experience, that is something that protestants do so that one sect can feel comfortable with the others. To test how non-denominational the prayer is, decide how long the practice would continue if all prayers were led by Muslims, Hindus or atheists. If the prayer in non-denominational, it should make no difference.
6. Ain't it the truth.

1) Glad we can agree! A stretch to me of comparing "St. Patrick's Day" or "Valentine's Day" to "Black History Month". Might even make more sense to have "Native American History Month". I'd rather come down in favor of good, old, factually based history that doesn't leave anybody out who deserves to be in there.
2) Besides Lincoln wasn't still alive when you were in school As part of history class, all the Presidents would have a place ... without history class some of them might not even be remembered
3) There ya' go. 3 in a row.
4) Yup, a teacher, like all the rest of us, has a personality that is made up of all their life experience. Yet, if you choose teaching as a profession then there should be some kind of Hippocratic-like oath to encourage thinking & creativity of thought. Education is not supposed to be "indoctrination".
5) Thank goodness we disagree on something I think both public & private prayer is meaningful. Public prayer is not necessarily school prayer. In fact, I specifically mentioned school prayer separately. "Public prayer" could mean sporting events, social gatherings outside of a church environment, any number of public ceremonies where there are "invocations". Unless the Muslims were advocating "death to infidels" in their prayers, I wouldn't be out of sorts with it. Actually, I'd find it harder to relate to Hindu prayer, since Hindus are not monotheistic. However, any person who sees their religion (or even an atheist) as a positive force for good, who believes using their belief (or non-belief) for the benefit of the human condition is not gonna annoy me.
Maybe you see my identity dilemma ... I consider myself conservative. You typically take a liberal perspective on this forum. You are avowed atheistic (or at minimal agnostic). I consider myself Christian. We've both expressed divergent views on how best to approach the health care issue. You believe in the climate change threat. I'm really not convinced. You seem to like BHO, I'm not convinced I trust his leadership quality. Yet we could pretty much agree on 5 of 6 points in this discussion.
Just when I thought I was getting cozy in my pigeon hole ...

Thinking is always hard to do from inside a pigeon hole. My comment on prayer would only apply to prayer in a context where it assumes coercive qualities because of its association with governmental functions. I have no problem with prayer, even though it is not something I do personally in any fashion that would be recognized as such. However, I actually go to church quite often and served on my church's Board of Directors for several years. Go figure.

- A secure supply of standard components made possible by the group's international reach as well as by sustainable partnerships with global leaders in the sector.
These solutions are suitable for regions with a high direct normal irradiance (essentially, large regions that receive direct sunlight) in the Southwestern United States, Australia, India, South Africa, MENA (Middle East and North Africa), and parts of Southern Europe around the Mediterranean.
A proven and reliable Solar technology
AREVA Solar's core technology, Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector (CLFR), uses modular flat reflectors to focus the sun's heat onto elevated receivers, which consist of a system of tubes through which water flows.
The concentrated sunlight boils the water in the tubes, generating high-pressure superheated steam for direct use in power generation and industrial steam applications without the need for costly heat exchangers. AREVA Solar's boilers are certified with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' "S" stamp, an industry hallmark of quality and acceptance.
For every application, AREVA Solar's systems offer a variety of advantages:

AREVA Solar: Providing direct solar steam for electricity and industrial processes in an emissions-constrained world.
Power generation
Utility-Scale Solar and Solar-Hybrid Power Plants
AREVA Solar develops and installs solar steam generators to serve utility-scale global energy needs. Our solar steam generators can be designed with a natural gas-fired boiler back-up to deliver clean, cost-effective electricity with the same reliability and dispatchability as traditional fossil-fired power plants.
- Standalone solar thermal power plants, as well as solar/hybrid power plants with a natural gas option for full dispatchability
- For installations >50 MW
- Helps meet renewable portfolio standards and carbon reduction goals
- Lowest cost CSP solution
- Scalable and rapidly deployable
- Occupies the least amount of land
- Easily hybridized option for firm power and reserve capacity
Steam augmentation
Existing coal- and gas-fired power stations can deploy our solar steam generators to deliver reliable, emission-free steam that increases plant output, lowers carbon emissions, and provides a hedge against volatile fuel prices.
Coal-Fired Power Generation: AREVA Solar's steam generators can be deployed at existing coal-fired power stations to deliver direct solar steam. AREVA Solar's system replaces the extraction steam used for feedwater heating in a coal station with solar steam from a reliable, land-efficient solar field. The steam that is not extracted can continue expanding through the steam turbine and produce more electricity without increasing plant emissions.
Combined-Cycle Power Generation: In combined-cycle applications, AREVA Solar's steam generators are designed to deliver reliable, direct solar steam. The deployment of AREVA Solar's steam generators at an existing gas-fired, combined-cycle facility enable steam from the solar field to mix with a power plant's intermediate pressure evaporator or cold reheat steam. The solar steam enables the steam turbine to produce additional electricity without additional fuel.
- Co-locate solar steam generators with existing or new build fossil-fueled power plants
- Repower/extend plant life for geothermal and biomass facilities
- Designed for projects >10 MW
- Increase output of existing capital equipment
- Match peak electricity demand
- Reduce fuel consumption and costs and exposure to volatile fuel prices
- Reduce carbon and other emissions
- Rapid deployment (< 1yr to COD)
- Help meet renewable portfolio standard targets and emissions constraints
Industrial Steam
AREVA Solar's steam generators can deploy quickly to provide cost-effective, reliable process steam for industrial applications. They integrate simply with conventional steam systems in retrofit and new plant designs. This technology is a hedge against rising fuel and emissions costs, and it can provide an added financial benefit in carbon markets. It's part of an integrated sustainability strategy for fuel and carbon market risk reduction, at competitive prices.
- Displace conventional natural gas boilers
- Industries include enhanced oil recovery and refining, chemical processing and refining, pulp and paper manufacturing, food processing, and desalination
- Ideal for 10 MWe thermal requirements or greater
- Reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions
- Protect against the price volatility of natural gas
- Meet corporate sustainability goals

Ok, so my first actual hunt will be next week, but I sat for the first time tonight. Snowing and blowing but that didn't stop me. No gobbling, just a couple hens walking around the blind saying things like, "Dad, you need to get a life!"
Hey, they just don't understand!! Although my 11 year old daughter went in the blind and said she thought it was cool.
I am sure I will loose her soon to.
I got my new blind today and it is a beauty. I recommend you check out Barronett Blinds. Resonable price and huge blinds. This one is the Grounder 350, 80" inside height, 90" hub to hub, and 70" footprint, rated for 3.5 people. Don't know where I will find that .5 person, but hey I'll try!!
And these blinds are made in WI, good deal!

Monument to progressing thought (after Homer Simpson) is an attempt to locate what I regard as the most significant trajectory of sculptural investigation of the twentieth century, the ready-made, within the then contemporary debate surrounding the proposition to investigate the reversing of Australia's rivers to irrigate the inland. The sheer absurdity of this knee-jerk suggestion was instantly reminiscent of something that Homer Simpson would propose and attempt to carry out, and certainly reminded me of The Simpsons episode where Homer's failed attempt to build a BBQ is diagnosed/discovered as outsider art. His final artwork is flooding his town to make a new magical Venice, which is loved and enjoyed by all.
Monument to progressing thought (after Homer Simpson) is my proposition to sculpturally commemorate what might have been had this reversal of the rivers proposition been allowed to develop just a little further. It is not difficult to imagine welfare recipients being mutually obliged to wheel barrow-loads of water to the mouth of this new attempt at water distribution to actually commence an inland water flow, and it seemed necessary then, as it does now, to have something celebrate both our complete inability to effectively plan for real and realistic sustainable and inclusive development in any way, and our proven ability to make stupid statements without actually thinking.
D'oh indeed.

When we think of the word Opera many people think about operas and Italy in Italian. Italian opera is a mixture of the language that is lovely and also the history of the Italian people. Opera originates in Italy and today it inspires individuals to understand the language, history and the culture from the experience along with the stories. It's a very romantic experience, listening to opera sung at among the famous opera houses in a majestic city. Notably as Opera 's' majority are around telling the story of love or heartbreak. Many opera lovers. Travel to Italy to see an opera although this encounter isn't just for opera fans, and visit with the well-known Italian opera houses. These types of vacations are suitable for anybody who wishes to see a fresh European culture that is abundant with historical importance. Why not see the beautiful cities of Italy which are full of exquisite buildings from throughout the centuries.
There are a number of cities visitors go in search the top being Florence, Venice, Verona, Rome, Milan, Naples and Pisa. They're the cities where opera are still thriving today and began; they are quite popular with tourists not just for opera but for the food, sights, shopping and also the romantic feel. It is world-famous since its opening. Folks would visit from all over the planet to see Opera's singers perform here.

Had van in for a fulk service. Excellent customer service. Would definitely use again
Great price, great service. All work done as expected. Would definitely use again.
Excellent service really friendly and helpful
Great service picked up the same day.
Brilliant service from this company, can't fault them. Collected my car from my home and offered to bring it back again. Price I paid was the same I was quoted. Great local company that I'd use again in a heartbeat.
Absolutely superb
Quick turnaround as promised, nice bunch of helpful staff, who were happy to help other customers while I waited! Highly rated!
good service will use them again
Friendly, efficient and cheaper than chain garages :)
Competitively priced, great customer service and genuine/honest garage. Managed to squeeze in MOT, the additional work once failed, and a second MOT on top of the work I originally needed - all same day. Even drove me to the metro centre when the extra work needed doing. Cheers Davie. Jack

Had problems but resolved quickly
was good and honest, unfortunately the car was a scrapper and the cost was more than the whole thing was worth Thanks
Terrible, awful, Time waster just a few words to describe this service/mechanic. Used this site for convenience, I posted a job and accepted this quote as it was really good. Car was booked in, well arranged to collect as its an internet based service, in reality this means you have no idea where your car goes or who to contact as the numbers provided are never answered, guess what no ones shows up. Managed to get hold of the person who arranged this only to be told that the part was not available and he would collect four days later on Saturday morning , bank Holiday weekend, suprise suprise after cancelling my plans to have the work done nobody shows up to collect the car. Emails sent, voice messages left to no reply. Customer left in limbo. Please avoid using Mac the Clutch. Your much better off avoiding and looking for a mechanic yourself.
Cheers lads, thanks for your time today, I was given wrong information regarding the belt. Nice genuine guys didn't charge which is a bonus, just gutted about your diagnosis. Would defo use again.
First class clutch replacement by Alan. Collected the car first thing and returned it to the door with clutch replaced and feeling like a brand new car. I couldn't believe such a competitive estimate. Nice to see integrity and good workmanship these days. I will be definitely be calling on Alan again in the future - First Class customer service.

Breakfast Ideas
- Oatmeal Chocolate Chip CookiesMy daughter has just told me that she does not like nuts in her cookies.My head whips around, my eyes wide and disbelieving. What?? For one horrible split second I imagine endless days and months and years stretched before me, a long lifetime without nuts in my baked goods. I remember the melancholy of having to bake nut-free for my brother, who didn't li […]
- Garlic Lemon Butter ShrimpWhew. It's been two absolutely hectic weeks and I feel like I'm coming out of a long and rather challenging gauntlet. My boss was here from overseas (Yes, I have a boss! So when I say I am a worker bee I really do mean it!) and we had a series of intense meetings. That's not to say that all this lay heavy on my shoulders. Intense yes, but rewarding and e […]

Not just in my neighborhood (in which there are a lot of great new places to explore and turn into hangouts…yay!) but all over. Our local dining scene has never been more vibrant.

And if I'm not feeling lousy enough to be bedridden, then you know where I am…doing everything els […]

- Sesame Soba NoodlesI was at our neighborhood coffee shop yesterday morning. I woke up a just a tiny bit earlier so I could sneak a solo coffee before I went to market. Which I suppose is a funny thing to do on Valentines, but I love it when I have time to grab a cup of coffee before heading to the market on Saturdays, so there you go. Just me, my flat white, doing my little […]

"Look up…look left…look down…chin up…" I obeyed like the dutiful daughter that I was (still am actually). And t […]

Part two of the series was broadcasted over the summer of 2008 and was also picked up by media outlets in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

Q: I want to sell my car fast. How can I sell my car, at this web site.
A: You can sell your car by listing it at used-cars.info web site.
First create a user account (register/sign up), and then login anytime to post auto ads (US, UK, Canada only).
Q: Can I sell my truck too.
A: Yes, any type of vehicle for sale or lease in US, Canada or UK can be posted. If your truck is not a pickup truck, such as a commercial truck or dump truck, etc. choose "other truck" from the menu, when you create your truck ad.
Q: I'm an auto dealer, not a private seller. I have pre-owned vehicles and new cars for sale. Can I post ads here?
A:Yes, it doesn't matter whether you are a private vehicle seller, or a car dealer or whether you sell used cars or sell brand new cars and vehicles. You can list your auto dealership business too.
Q: How about cycles, snow vehicles, aircrafts, watercrafts. Can I sell my boat?
A: Yes, the term vehicle refers to any kind of vehicle. You can list your boat, canoe, yacht, bike, motorcycle, tricycle, plane, helicopter, snowmobile, ATV, trailer, bus, motorhome, rv, van. Even a spacecraft can be posted.
Q: I want to buy an affordable reliable used car. What can I do?
A: You can search or browse auto listings by location, or create a vehicle wanted ad.
Q: Can we advertise our auto service. Is there any cost?
A: Yes. You can advertise your auto business. All listings are posted for free, and there is no hidden or future costs. Car insurance services, tire stores, car repairs, gas stations, driving lessons, auto shows, dui attorneys, etc can be posted.
Q: Can I trust buyers/sellers when I am trying to buy a car or sell my car at this place.
A: We can't control who responds to your auto ads. We make efforts
to remove suspicious vehicle listings, but there might be
fake ads that we can't catch. Most info on a car ad including the vehicle identification number (VIN) can be correct, and still the person who posted the listing may have bad intentions.
Q: I have 2001 Honda Accord automatic sedan car in good condition. How much should I ask for it?
A: You determine the price. Used-cars.info doesn't appraise, buy or sell cars. We don't give any advice. You may want to check car values at other sites like Kelley Blue Book, Nada, Edmunds.
Q: I can't find cars near my place.
A: You can check this web site at another time, or place a car wanted ad.
Q: When do classified ads expire at used-cars.info ?
A: No official expiration date. You can remove your ad anytime, or ask us to do it if you don't remember your login info.
Q: I want to sell my car fast. How long does it take for me to find a serious buyer if I advertise my car here.
A: It depends mostly on site traffic (currently thousands of unique visitors per day, and growing), and price and condition of your car. If you have a web page, you can link to some pages of this site, and this can increase your and other people's chances of finding vehicles and buyers.
directly or indirectly.
A: Good question. All ads are original, meaning they are not taken from elsewhere. People were posting ads and getting free leads. This web site was growing gradually. Suddenly it was penalized for an unknown reason and there is no explanation. Probably some search engines were tricked by spammers who steal content and post at various places etc. But things should get back to normal soon.

The RetroNectin method has been recognized as a standard gene transduction method in ex vivo gene therapy around the world
Singapore: In an effort to aid progress in gene therapy clinical research, representatives of Clontech Laboratories and its Japan-based parent company Takara Bio, announced the availability of clinical grade RetroNectin reagent for direct supply to biomedical researchers.
RetroNectin reagent is designed to enable efficient retroviral transduction of genes into hematopoietic stem cells as well as lymphocytes and other blood cells. The RetroNectin method has been recognized as a standard gene transduction method in ex vivo gene therapy around the world. In addition, RetroNectin reagent has another remarkable feature that can also be useful for cell therapies: during the expansion culture of human T lymphocytes, RetroNectin reagent helps to increase proportion of naive T cells. This RetroNectin induced T cell method has already become available as a cancer therapy in three Japanese clinics under technical support from Takara Bio.
Takara Bio is the exclusive supplier of RetroNectin reagent, a recombinant human fibronectin fragment developed in 1995 by Takara Bio in collaboration with Indiana University. It has been used in 68 gene therapy clinical trials in 44 institutes and hospitals in 10 countries to date.
Previously, access to clinical-grade RetroNectin reagent required a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) between a research institution and Takara Bio. Researchers may now submit direct orders to Clontech or local Takara Bio subsidiaries for RetroNectin (GMP), which is manufactured as a quality-assured product according to guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). The Drug Master File for RetroNectin (GMP) has been filed with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In a recent study published in Science Translational Medicine in March 2013, scientists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center reported an immunotherapy strategy for the treatment of five adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Each patient's T cells were extracted, altered by introduction of DNA that would cause the cells to attack tumor cells, and infused back into the patient's bloodstream. According to researchers, all patients achieved tumor eradication and complete remission. RetroNectin reagent was used during T cell transduction.

Thread: Vaginal Birth With Triplets?
27th July 2012 11:37 AM #1
Vaginal Birth With Triplets?
Hello Midwife Jane,
I just learned of a woman who is undergoing ICSI. They were able to retrieve 4 eggs, and all 4 eggs were fertilized.
If 3 or 4 embryos are of high enough quality to transfer, there would be a possibility of her carrying triplets or quadruplets.
Have you ever known of a woman who has delivered triplets vaginally and if so, was it at home or in the hospital? I would like to encourage this woman to have a vaginal delivery, but not sure if I could do this if she's carrying triplets or quads. She is 40 years old and I know that there would be a high probability that the babies would come early if she were carrying 3 or 4 but I'm wondering if there are doctors or midwives that would support her in planning for a vaginal delivery if she were carrying more than 2.
Warm regards,

Though I am not Jane- lol- though I would chime in that I have seen it happen a few times.
It's rare but happens. I have known of one homebirth of triplets, and one hospital birth. I would encourage her to speak with midwives and doctors, looking for someone who is very open to the idea- if it does turn out to be triplets or twins. Quads I do not know about, though I imagine it has been done at some point, I would not think many doctors or midwives would be open to supporting a vaginal delivery of quads, there are just too many variables. On the other hand, if it ends up only being twins, vaginal birth is definitely a possibility with a willing care provider. Most twins are still born vaginally.
I am sure Jane can give more technical insight and I look forward to reading her answer.

Well 1 embryo didn't make it, so they implanted 3, which means a maximum of 3 babies (though one embryo was poor quality, so guessing that one may not survive).
Thanks for the information, Angela. I will encourage and support her as we learn more.
Warm regards,

The Savings & Loan industry's contributions are only a fraction of those given by commercial banks, but still add up to significant amounts of political cash. Of the more than $1.1 million contributed by the industry during the 2012 election cycle, nearly $300,000 came from Beal Bank. Other top industry contributors during the 2012 cycle included IBC Bank, which gave more than $165,000, and Aspen Companies, which gave more than $92,000.
Throughout the years, the industry has switched its allegiance between Democrats and Republicans many times. But in 2011-2012, 82 percent of contributions from savings & loans went to Republicans; in the 2008 election cycle, that figure was just 46 percent.
The industry's lobbying expenditures have shrunk to a tenth of what they were in 1998. That year, it spent more than $6.2 million on lobbying, whereas in 2012 the industry spent a little more than $686,000. Much of the decrease is attributable to a big drop in lobbying spending by America's Community Bankers. The group spent only $200,000 on lobbying in 2012, versus $3.8 million spent in 1998. Other top lobbying spenders in the industry include Integrity Funding, which also spent $200,000 on lobbying in 2012, and Premier Bankcard, which paid out $120,000.
Banking and finance are the two most commonly lobbied issues for the industry. A top concern is the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The industry advocates relieving community banks from most federal banking regulations.

Late Monday, Wenonah (Ala.) School's De'Runnya Wilson felt a lot of stress leave his mind. But at the end of the day, the 2013 receiver prospect didn't face a difficult decision, he said.
The 6-foot-5 and 212-pound receiver committed to MSU late Monday and became the Bulldogs' 23rd commitment for the Class of 2013.
"It just feels good," said Wilson. "I told Coach (Dan) Mullen and Coach (Tim) Brewster last night I was committing and that I was coming to Mississippi State. They already felt I was coming and it was no surprise to them. They always felt comfortable with me and I felt the same with Mississippi State.
"I always knew where I wanted to go. I just wanted to visit there and when I got back, I told my mom about it. I told her how I felt and where I wanted to go. I know Coach Mullen and Coach Brew are coming to my basketball game tonight, too, and I am going to ball out for them."
Rated a three-star prospect by 247Sports with an 87 rating, Wilson also held offers from Auburn, Tennessee, Louisville, Cincinnati and UAB. He also plans to walk on to the MSU basketball team as well. Last year Wilson was the runner-up for Mr. Basketball in the state of Alabama as a junior.
"I feel I can help out quick in both sports," said Wilson. "In football I can get all the jump balls and out-muscle defensive backs and catch the ball at the highest point. I will be doing all the things that Coach Brewster teaches me. Whatever he teaches me is what I will be doing.
"The (MSU) basketball coaches also say I have a good feel for the game. They also like my aggressiveness."
Wilson has been one of Wenonah's top performers on the hardwood the past three seasons. But he didn't play football as a sophomore or junior. But his return to the gridiron this season caught a lot of attention from colleges after he began to perform in clutch situations.
"This season I to work for everything I got in football since nobody knew of me," said Wilson. "I had to work for my offers and work to get back in rhythm. Now I have to do that all over again in college. The work ethic I bring to both sports at Mississippi State is going to stand out. Nobody is going to outwork me.
"One of the things I like about Mississippi State is I know they are going to push me and strive for greatness."

TUPELO – A second Baldrige National Quality Award will come home to Northeast Mississippi.
North Mississippi Health Services has followed in the footsteps of its flagship hospital – North Mississippi Medical Center-Tupelo – to claim the nation's highest honor for business. They remain the only Mississippi organizations to claim the award.
"It's a great honor for all of us," said John Heer, president and chief executive officer of North Mississippi Health Services. "It demonstrates that we've focused on the right things for a long, sustained time."
The health care system, which includes hospitals in Tupelo, Iuka, Pontotoc, West Point, Eupora and Hamilton, Ala., and 34 medical clinics around the region, was selected the first time it applied for the award, which requires a rigorous internal examination process.
"That's a pretty rare feat," Heer said.
NMMC-Tupelo applied four times before it won the award in 2006.
The work to spread the Baldrige process of continuous quality improvement from NMMC-Tupelo through the rest of the system goes back years, and the community hospitals and clinics have embraced it, said Karen Koch, who was part of the Baldrige team leading up to 2006 and now serves as the organizational performance administrator.
"It didn't happen overnight," Koch said. "We really started after we won the last award."
The Baldrige examiners visited in early October, and they were especially impressed by the people they met in the community hospitals and clinics.
"They were so wowed by the clinic physicians" that they canceled additional meetings they had planned, Koch said.
The Baldrige examiners – volunteer judges who rigorously pour over the 50-page applications – highlighted a number of areas for the system:
• Outstanding results in outpatient diabetes management.
• Community health gains such as more colorectal cancer screening and decreases in smokers in the region.
• Patient safety measures such as strong performance in Joint Commission surgical care improvement project measures and no central line-associated blood stream infections in intensive care over the past two years.
• Strong patient, employee and physician satisfaction survey results across the system.
• Sharing performance results with staff, partners, patients and other stakeholders.
The true value of the Baldrige award is the internal examination, discipline and focus the process requires, hospital leaders said.
"It makes this institution a better prepared company," said Ripley banker Bobby Martin, who serves as the president of the board for North Mississippi Health Services.
It's a huge point of pride for the community that the region's largest employer has been recognized among the best in the country, said Tupelo Mayor Jack Reed. The work of the hospital system makes a tremendous impact.
"Quality health care translates directly to our community's quality of life and quality of place," Reed said.
North Mississippi Health Services will formally receive the award in Baltimore in April, but the quality improvement journey will continue for the health care system long after that. The system will receive a detailed report in December that will include opportunities for improvement.
"You're never finished," Heer said.
Baldrige examination, competition intense
The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award is the nation's highest honor for business and is overseen by the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Since 1988, 93 organizations have received the Baldrige, including Motorola, Ritz-Carlton Hotels, Boeing, 3M, Xerox, Federal Express and Merrill Lynch.
Along with North Mississippi Health Services, the 2012 award winners are Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control in Grand Prairie, Texas, the c1
ity of Iriving, Texas, and Mesa Products of Tulsa, which also won the 2006 Baldrige with NMMC-Tupelo.
There have been six repeat winners in the Baldrige history. NMMC-Tupelo and North Mississippi Health Services join Cargill and AT&T as the only organizations that can claim multiple Baldrige awards within their larger company families.
The Baldrige process involves a rigorous schedule of internal examination and the creation of a 50-page application. Volunteer examiners comb through the application. If an applicant is chosen for a site visit on the strength of the application, the examiners spend days verifying and clarifying the details of the application with the organization's leadership and front-line employees.
Being selected for a Baldrige doesn't mean organizations do everything perfectly, but they do show commitment to quality and results across the board, including leadership, planning, customer-focus, tracking results, developing employees and managing their production or processes. The entire organization, from administration to front-line employees, have to be on the same page.
There are six categories that Baldrige awards can be given in: Manufacturing, service, small business, health care, education and nonprofit.
In 2012, North Mississippi Health Services was one of 39 applicants for the Baldrige. The competition within the health care category was intense; they accounted for seven of the 12 organizations selected for site visits.
This year for the first time, recognitions were given to honor best practices in one or more criteria categories for organizations not selected as Baldrige winners. Maury Regional Medical Center in Columbia, Tenn., which is led by Robert Otwell, was recognized for strategic planning and workforce focus. He served as president of NMMC-Tupelo until 2005 and was a part of the hospital's early Baldrige journey.

thanks for posting/reminder of this gorgeous site. Looks like a good spot to do some birding too.
Arroyo Honda is a wonderful piece of California history, having been occupied by Chumash, Spanish, Mexicans, and Anglos - but always as a ranch. The year round creek makes it a wonderful rich habitat for plants, birds, animals, and fish, incl. Steelhead. It's a special place to see and just "to be."
Arroyo Hondo Preserve has super educational programs for schools which are tailored to fit into the individual class and age curriculum of visiting groups.
Guided by staff and volunteer naturalists, visiting students can study water systems, California history, geology, ecology, botany and wildlife in the Preserve and integrate their experiences with their classroom studies.
Thanks for the reminder: I'll put it on my list of post-Christmas treats!
