Shingles Vaccine Available to VA Patients
August 23, 2007, 08:00:00 AM
Nicholson: Single Inoculation Provides Protection
WASHINGTON—A vaccine for shingles, which Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) researchers helped develop, is available to veterans who are patients at VA medical facilities nationwide.
"Shingles can seriously degrade the quality of life for those who suffer from this disease," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson. "Offering this vaccine to our patients is further evidence of VA's commitment to provide world-class health care to
"VA will continue research that leads to real-life solutions like the distribution of this shingles vaccine for patients at VA facilities across the country," Nicholson added.
VA physicians will offer the vaccine to patients with appropriate medical conditions, usually those who are 60 years of age or older and have healthy immune systems. A single dose of the vaccine offers protection against shingles, which is scientifically named Herpes Zoster.
VA researchers and patients from across the country participated in studies which led to the vaccine's approval by the Food and Drug Administration. The vaccine is available immediately to those who are recommended for the treatment.

A buddyy of mine built a rem700 in 223. When I say built he changed stock bedded action and put on a scope. Gun shoots great its fun and cheap to shoot. I would like something similar myself but would like to do it on Howa platform. They sell their 223 with 2 stage trigger and 20 inc bull barrel for under 500$. i guess what I am asking about Howas quality. I know there are lot more aftermarket parts for Remington but I want something diff. And honestly I am not a big fan of Remington. And japaneese usually very good with quality. So If you have one or had one Please share your experience with them. if you can also share a picture or two of your Howas please do so

I'm trying to install the latest psqlodbc-08_00_0100.zip to connect Access to PostgreSQL 8.0 running on OpoenBSD. I've download and installed the MSI installer package. The installer successfully finishes, but when I go to the ODBC Data Source, I don't see a Postgresql driver anywhere. I've tried on Windows 2000 server and on Windows XP. Because I need to connect to PostgreSQL with Access, I uninstalled the version 8 driver and re-installed the version 07_03_0200 driver which used to work on both machines. This older driver works fine on the Windows 2000 machine but it now will not work on the XP machine by failing to connect to the database. My PostgreSQL logs do not even show a connection attempt, until I click out of the two error message thrown up by Access. Then it apparently connects, runs the first query (table view) and exits. I'd rather get the newest version working, so if anyone knows how I can get the ODBC driver available to Access through the ODBC control panel I'll be delighted. Failing that, getting the 07_03_0200 driver to connect would be great. Thanks, Jeff Ross

If you educate a man you educate an individual
if you educate a woman you educate a family (nation)
Swahili Proverb
Girls in Tanzania, especially those living in the Coast Region (where Kwala is located) face great barriers to education. Some of the challenges girls face include: forced early marriage, forced withdrawal from school to help with household chores, and forced prostitution.
Understanding the Issue:
Women's education has been well documented as a vital means of improving the social and economic well-being of a nation. Unfortunately, girls in Tanzania face more challenges and barriers to education than boys. Many families are reluctant to allow their daughters to attend secondary school because of the financial burden – secondary school costs $350 per year (including national examination fees) in a country where the annual earnings for many are $360. As a result, many girls are pushed into early marriage – as young as 11 or 12 years old. Other girls that start secondary school, particularly those away from their parents, have no means of support and end up providing for their own school fees and living expenses through prostitution. As could be expected in this environment, unwanted pregnancy is a major cause of girls halting their education – and their future.
Women are the future of Tanzania – girls who complete their secondary education become educated and empowered women whose own daughters are free of past vicious cycles of poor education, pregnancy and poverty.
Community Solution:
Starting with the 2009 Tanzanian school year, NTC began giving scholarships to twenty girls at Kwala Secondary School defined as "at severe risk of dropping out of school" by the female teachers at the school. The scholarships including school fees, food, uniforms, school supplies, and housing in a safe "girls only" dormitory close to the school. Individual donors in the United States were matched with a girl at Kwala, receiving updates and letters from the girls they were sponsoring. The scholarship girls also meet with NTC Project Directors as part of a weekly "girls group." The girls volunteer in the community as well, reading out loud to children as part of NTC's Village Reading Corner.
Two Years to be Proud Of: 16 Scholarship girls have graduated from Kwala Secondary School since the program started! This is a remarkable accomplishment for girls who would otherwise not be able to attend school in the first place. NTC has continued to keep in touch with the graduated scholarship girls, several of whom will continue their education at Advanced Level.
The Year to Come: NTC will continue sponsoring 10 scholarship girls at Kwala Secondary School, and several who have graduated from O level and will continue in A level.
If you are interested in sponsoring a girl for the 2011 school year, please contact or send your donation to NTC today!
Fundraising Goal: $300.00 per girl (Click here to see the itemized budget

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
I am still trying to digest this information. Your response indicates that this person, who had a C-section, and is still under a doctors care for a total of 8 weeks, is entitlted to 12 more weeks under CFRA for a total of 20 weeks after the birth of the baby?
Debbie,Thank you very much for your reply. It's confusing to understand, so my apologies.Basically, the mother has the shorter of either (a) 12 weeks from 6/11/13; or (b) until the mother's doctor no longer considers the mother to be suffering from a disabling condition. After this, the mother has an additional 12 weeks of protected job leave for baby bonding under the CFRA.Does that make more sense? So, under your particular example, if the mother is only under the doctor's care (and presumably "disabled") for 8 weeks, she would have the 8 weeks plus the additional 12 weeks of baby bonding leave, for a total of 20 weeks, as you have stated.

TAMPA — For 56 weeks while living in forced exile from pro football, having again gone from hero to heel with another career-suicide attempt, Tanard Jackson wasn't always sure he wanted to do the time.
On Aug. 18, 2009, the NFL suspended the safety for the first four games of the upcoming season for his second positive test for marijuana.
But that was a relative slap on the wrist.
On Sept. 22, 2010, the league suspended him indefinitely. He couldn't apply for reinstatement for one year, and nobody was throwing him a life rope.
"There were a lot of emotions," Jackson, 26, said. "A lot of frustration, anger, guilt. But I dealt with it the best way I could with the support of family, friends and things like that.
"The doubts definitely came in mind; especially being out of football that long and knowing I was fighting an uphill battle. But it's worth it. It's worth it. That's the best way I can put it."
One day last week, Jackson leaned on a chair in front of his locker, in no hurry to peel away the Spandex undershirt with the Buccaneers logo that was wet with sweat and stuck to his body.
Jackson says he didn't go through months of living in a league-mandated drug rehabilitation center — with no way to stay in shape except pumping iron — to satisfy fawning fans.
The fame and fortune? Well, that had, literally, gone up in smoke as well.
What fueled Jackson was a chance to revisit ground zero, the opportunity to press restart. This time, Jackson isn't concerned about the future. Everything he missed he recaptured by simply walking back through the doors at One Buc Place.
"It's being right here in this locker room," said Jackson, who was reinstated by the NFL on Tuesday. "Putting on a helmet with a Buccaneers logo on the side. Putting on cleats. Putting on shoulder pads. Meeting rooms. Just being in this building."
Jackson's return to the playing field begins this afternoon against the Saints. For the Bucs, the timing couldn't be better.
The defense is battered and bruised.
Tackle Gerald McCoy is out for several weeks with a high sprain of his left ankle. Safety Cody Grimm suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 3. Rookie middle linebacker Mason Foster limped around all last week with a sprained ankle, and linebacker Quincy Black has missed two of the past three games with a similar injury. They are questionable and probable, respectively.
"You can't ever account for what he is as a football player," cornerback Ronde Barber said of Jackson. "You can't coach what he does. He instantly makes us better. That's nothing against the guys that are here. There's a reason he started as a rookie and a reason why he'll seamlessly fall into place this year.
"You can never have too many good bodies back there. So having a good one come back at this time is pretty ideal for us because we thought it might be a lot later."
Jackson, who has started every game for which he has been eligible since being a fourth-round pick out of Syracuse in 2007, has added more muscle to his 190-pound physique.
"Mainly lifting," said Jackson, who could start today depending on the personnel with which the Bucs open. "I didn't have the ability to do a lot of running and agility work."
Two years ago, Jackson's impact was immediate. In his first three games, he recorded 17 tackles, a forced fumble, two interceptions and a touchdown.
"That was before, but this is completely different," said Jackson, who has eight interceptions and five forced fumbles for his career. "I went to training camp with the team. This was 56 weeks, and being back, this is the first time putting on shoulder pads and a helmet."
Barber says from the time he took the practice field Wednesday, Jackson's movements have been fluid, natural, almost as if he were gliding on casters.
"He's just out there, and it's like, 'Well, T-Jack's back,' " Barber said. "It's more of a casual thing for him."
Jackson knows he will have his detractors. But his behavior has been so self-destructive, the battle remains largely internal.
"I'm in control of my actions now and what goes on from here," Jackson said. "I'm not in control of what people think about me.
"I think the hard part is the accountability part; letting a lot of people down: teammates, management and the fans, the die-hard fans of the Buccaneers organization. That's a struggle. But I got another chance, another opportunity to change."

Children's Hospital Says RSV At High Levels
Health officials at Children's Hospital Central California say they're seeing an epidemic of RSV, or "Respiratory Syncytial Virus". Doctors say the virus is often mistaken for the common cold, but it can be very serious for babies since they haven't built up the immunity to fight it off.
The virus is passed from one child to another through contact. It usuallystarts as a sore throat, runny nose, congestion, and makes it hard to breath.
Doctors say it strikes during the winter more often because kids are aroundso many people during the holidays.
They say this year, business at the hospital is booming, "We arepacked. Our numbers being seen in the emergency room have gone from 200 saythis time of year last year, to over 350 some days," says Dr. RobertKezirian.
So what can you do to protect your child? Doctors say don't take babies togrocery stores or malls, keep them away from other children who might be sick,and wash your hands often.

I've never been much of a NASCAR guy, but my attention turned in that direction recently while reading an article about Christians rock group Third Day. Buried in the cover article for Billboard magazine is a little blurb about one of Third Day's tracks being in the upcoming NASCAR '09 videogame.
Apparently, Third Day is actively looking into new ways of getting their music out to the mases, and one of the ways they're doing that is looking into videogames. Their new management company is helping the group find opportunities to do just that, and the first is the band's new song being featured on the soundtrack for NASCAR '09.
Now, I personally have always enjoyed the music of Third Day, and their songs have often been apart of my custom soundtracks for various Xbox 360 games. To hear that they'll be on a game's original soundtrack is pretty thrilling, and it also signifies just how much the entertainment world is changing. Whereas videogames were once a small market aimed solely at kids, it's now becoming dominant part of the entertainment industry and a place for music artists to distribute their music to a wider audience; I'm pretty sure no one saw that coming. Look for NASCAR '09 with Third Day's track "Otherside" to hit stores this summer.

YBOR CITY—Starbucks in Centro Ybor will close its doors at 9 tonight, more than a year shy of fulfilling its 10-year lease, which expires in October 2010.
The shop appeared to be popular, but the closing is part of a plan at Starbucks' corporate offices to shut down a number of stores nationally, Centro Ybor leasing agent Bill Pate said.
The change comes amid others for Centro Ybor, as officials try to reinvent the entertainment complex to attract a residential following. They will start in coming months by adding a salon and converting some space at Muvico 20 into offices.
Come Monday, the Starbucks sign and logo will be taken down. A new coffee shop will be announced in a couple of weeks, Pate said. Centro Ybor has begun talks with Indigo Coffee, Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Co. and Barnie's Coffee & Tea Co. among others.
"That's not good news," said Tony LaColla, Historic Ybor Neighborhood Civic Association president. A Starbucks brings prestige to an area, LaColla said.
The association had sent e-mails to the corporate offices, hoping to save the Starbucks. A Starbucks representative couldn't be reached for details by press time earlier this week.
In another change for the complex, part of Muvico 20 will be converted into about 45,000 square feet of office space. Officials hope the offices will be more profitable and counteract Ybor's reputation as a hub for nightlife, Pate said. Work is set to begin in early 2010.
South Tampa's Tribeca ColorSalon will open a second location with a five-year lease in the spot previously taken up by a Victoria's Secret. Salon owner Brandon Wagner said he's looking forward to Centro's transformation from a mall to a village center.

One of the most anticipated autobiographies of this generation, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Recall is the candid story by one of the world's most remarkable actors, businessmen, and world leaders.
Born in the small city of Thal, Austria, in 1947, Arnold Schwarzenegger moved to Los Angeles at the age of 21. Within 10 years, he was a millionaire businessman. After 20 years, he was the world's biggest movie star. In 2003, he was elected governor of California and became a household name around the world.
Chronicling his embodiment of the American Dream, Total Recall covers Schwarzenegger's high-stakes journey to the United States, from creating the international bodybuilding industry out of the sands of Venice Beach to breathing life into cinema's most iconic characters and becoming one of the leading political figures of our time. Proud of his accomplishments and honest about his regrets, Schwarzenegger spares nothing in sharing his amazing story.

"Great book"
A very inspiring and motivating book, I only wish Arnold narrated the entire thing rather than just the beginning and ending.
"Amazing. I wish I got the extended version!"
Being the first of it's kind that I've listened to, I'm very pleased with the quality and layout of this product.
How it doesn't end, and when it does, you're stuck wondering "where's the rest of it, that can't be all that happened!"
I was never a huge Arnold fan until I listened to this. Now I find myself needing to do more research into his life. I have to listen again for items I missed the first time, and go over all the lessons he insist you learn from this book. The last chapter really brings it home, the first chapter really lets you know why he is the way he is.
I would most definitely recommend this book. I grew up watching Arnold movies and always found his story interesting. My expectations of this book was that it would be something to fill the time, but I didnt expect it to be so captivating.
Stephen Lang has an excellent narrative voice for this book, although I more thoroughly enjoyed Arnold's voice.
Yes, I definitely found myself making time to enjoy it. Great book.
Learn, understand, then decide whether you accept or reject.
I will admit it: I came into this book because I wanted to hear Arnold Schwarzenegger narrate an audiobook. And while it was funny at first, I was soon hooked to the story of his rise to power. Stephen Lang, the primary narrator, covers most of the audiobook except the first and last couple of chapters.
At first I was reluctant to use my hard earned income to purchase this book because some of those dollars would eventually make it into Arnold's bank account. And I didn't think he needed any of my financial support! However, one of my mentors recommended this book because of a conversation we had regarding, "applied knowledge!" Having an auto-immune health issue my whole life has changed and it is a deep desire to be better today than I was yesterday! The bottom line is some of Arnold's last words, "Stay Hungery!"
An amazing book that all should read, and remember anything can be done with a mindset of strength, focus, and optimism.
"absolutely love this book"
I never got tires of listening to this book. every time I was in my vehicle I had to hear the rest of the story. great values too.
"Totally incredible! Don't hesitate"
What a great audio book! Arnold only does a few chapters, but the other narrator is phenomenal. Don't hesitate. Very inspirational and some great lessons woven in. Highly recommended!
"best biography I ever read"
Arnold is a mystical figure, but this book demystify why he achieved so much in life and inspired people to grow out of ourself to do a bigger part for the world
"Interesting and motivating biography"
investing in our life, our goals is important process to make our vision a reality. .. this book gives you ideas how to do just that along with learning about Arnald's personal life ... enjoy
"He's Back..."
Admit it, when this title first appeared in the 'What's New' section of Audible, you probably smiled or even gave a light 'Tut Tut' and, thinking it to be just another celebrity vanity project, moved quickly on to more 'serious' books. But I'd like to suggest that you reconsider, as this book is full of surprises, and is an entertaining and very engaging read. It would be unfair to allow Arnold's larger-than-life persona to put you off.
To start with the book is very well written, and engages the reader from the outset with tales of how Arnold grew up in post-war Austria. He eloquently describes how the men of his village never really came to terms with losing the war, and seemed unable to comprehend the austerity and hardships of their country, especially after all the promises that had been made of a new and rich empire that would rule the world.
Arnold's stint of National Service, where he enrolled as a Tank Driver ("I like big machines") is very funny as he was, by his own admittance, the worst tank driver they'd ever had. The high command were so relieved when he asked to be discharged early so he could pursue a job offer in Berlin that they signed his release papers there and then.
And within no time Arnold finds himself in California, where he took a variety of odd jobs to make a little cash while he worked tirelessly on his physique, one eye always on the Mr Universe title.
Anyone who knows anything about Arnold will know that whilst his persona is totally larger than life, he is not a stupid man, and those who underestimated him did so to their cost. He has always been driven to achieve his goals, and once reached he merely resets his sights somewhere else and moves onward and upward. Body-Building, Property, Films, Politics, he's been there, done that and got a wardrobe full of T-Shirts.
Park your prejudices and give this title a try, it's a very surprising read.
I couldn't put this audio book down. Inspiring. Bold. Highly recommended. Big ideas, big dreams.
"If only Arnold had read it all"
Really interesting story, honest and open. Just wish Arnold had read all of it rather than just the opening and closing chapters.
"Wonderful Book!"
i must admit i wasnt a fan of arnold before but i am totally blown away by his character and the hardship he went through to get where he is. just proves that you cant judge a person untill you know his life. i am now a believer and a fan.
Arnie speaks only at the beginning and the end. He's had an amazing life and therefore is an amazing book.
"inspiring story"
very inspiring story of a man who came from nothing but thought it would have contained more interesting and funny anecdotes of the people he met along the way

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
The selection of a political supporter of President Obama to head up the Justice Department's criminal investigation of the IRS targeting scheme is "troubling" and "creates a serious conflict of interest."
So says the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ).
A report reveals that the DOJ appointee to oversee the criminal probe financially supported President Obama in his two campaigns as well as the Democratic Party.
"This is a troubling development that raises serious questions about the integrity of the investigation by the Justice Department," says Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ. "The Obama administration has promised to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal.
"But appointing an avowed political supporter of President Obama to head up the Justice Department probe is not only disturbing but puts politics right in the middle of what is supposed to be an independent investigation to determine who is responsible for the Obama administration's unlawful targeting of conservative and tea party groups because of their political beliefs. This development creates a serious conflict of interest and raises more questions and doubts about the Obama administration's promise to get to the bottom of what happened—to reveal the facts and the truth about the IRS targeting scheme."
In October 2013, the ACLJ expanded its federal suit, filing a second amended lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., adding additional defendants, including top IRS political appointees; an additional claim; and evidence that reveals a politically motivated attack on conservative organizations by the IRS—a secret and illegal targeting campaign aimed at the organizations because of their political beliefs.
The ACLJ argues that President Obama, along with congressional Democrats, created a climate of hostility toward tea party and conservative groups, making it impossible for the ACLJ's clients to exercise their First Amendment freedoms. The ACLJ contends the hostile climate set the stage for the unprecedented illegal targeting by the IRS.
The ACLJ represents 41 organizations in 22 states. Of the 41 groups, 22 organizations received tax-exempt status after lengthy delays, 12 are still pending, five withdrew applications because of frustration with the IRS process and two had their files closed by the IRS after refusing to answer the unconstitutional requests for more information.
The 81-page amended lawsuit is posted here. An executive summary of the amended complaint is posted here.

North Park Jack in the Box court case surprise
"I am not going to subject my clients to abusive depositions by Mr. Briggs."
Dorian Hargrove 1:15 p.m., Sept. 25
(Page 2 of 2)
"So it's really disheartening what Fagan's done," says Vavra, "because vendors have to have absolute faith that the store is paying you correctly, legitimately. I would love to have him audited to see what he was putting into his own accounts."
From her Point Loma home, Rebecca Berggren can look down on Newport Avenue. "I was one of the first vendors at Rock Paper Scissors," she tells me. "I started selling my products there in June 2006."
Under her business name, Karma Market, Berggren sells fair-trade jewelry and home decor. "The fair-trade movement," she says, "markets products that are certified to have been produced justly, no child labor or debilitating working conditions involved. It means that the people who create the jewelry are all paid a fair wage. You can buy these products instead of purchasing jewelry that may have been created in a sweatshop or by kids abroad. The movement helps support artisans around the world. The reason I went into Fagan's store was to give fair trade some exposure in local communities."
Berggren says she experienced no problems with Fagan until the end. She was paying $300 a month until, in January, her rent rose to $500. Then came February 3, when Fagan began informing vendors that Rock Paper Scissors was closing. "By that time, I had already taken my products out of the store, so I was lucky in that way, I guess. In December, I noticed that my sales had dropped significantly versus the previous December, and I figured it was probably time, plus Karma Market is a second job," says Berggren. Her first is marketing aquariums.
"When I received word that Fagan was closing down," she continues, "and he told us he was going bankrupt, I hightailed it to the bank. I was hoping there still would be money in the bank to cover the December check that he wrote me."
But the bank told Berggren there were insufficient funds to cover the check. The check was a little over $1500. By the time January's figures came in, Berggren was owed a little over $2500.
Berggren suspects that Fagan "commingled" vendors' profits with his own funds. "The products were never his to sell for his profit," she says. "The money was never his to use." The separation of vendors' spaces in the store, she thinks, should have meant that, in bookkeeping, their profit accounts were kept separate from each other's and any store accounts. If profits were put into and never taken out of vendors' accounts, they would still have been there at the end. Fagan then would have been able to pay off vendors on the day Rock Paper Scissors closed.
One other vendor with whom I spoke briefly said that is exactly what happened at a similar store in which she also sold products. When the store announced it was going bankrupt, it invited all vendors in to collect their last profits and any other money in their accounts.
If Fagan did commingle funds to pay his bills, the vendors who lost money might be able to prevail in court. To check the possibilities, I place a call to Paul Graf, professor of business law at SDSU. Graf tells me that corporations and limited liability companies are different for tax purposes but similar in protecting owners from the organizations' debts.
How about, I ask, if Fagan commingled vendors' profits with his own funds? "Ah, commingling is a different matter," Graf says. "If that were proved, it could allow for what's called 'piercing the corporate veil.' " Then, even in small-claims court, "where you can get good justice," he says, the judge might want to put aside limitations on liability to enforce fairness. "Although the small-claims process for an individual takes some time, I would not want to discourage any claimants from using that process. I frankly do not know if a small-claims judge will contemplate a class action. It may be necessary to file the class action in a regular court."
Listen to Joe Deegan discuss this article on Reader Radio!
Well I hope no one supports or continues to purchase from Rock Scissors Paper WHOLESALE! Boycott this store, this guy is pulling somthing! BOYCOTT ROCK SCISSORS PAPER WHOLESALE!!!
hey! how about a shout out to the OBRag blog for covering all this stuff months ago?
Rock Paper Scissors Wholesale was opened in July of 2008. This was not Fagans new Ideal with a new name. The new business was going to be at the same location as the old Rock Paper Scissors. Fagan was trying to help the vendors by having a true co-op that would have only cost the vendors 30% of there original costs. Even after he had closed the store he was still trying to help the vendors. Fagan has been helping Ocean Beach and San Diego for many years with his donations of his personal products for charities , give aways, under privlegded children, victims of accidents that did'nt have insurance, Schools and many more things. there was never a time he had turned down a charity or a cause. I believe fagan lost Rock Paper Scissors because of his generosity and forgiveness to vendors that just could'nt make it. His ideal was to help the small artists that did'nt have any other way of selling there goods. All the vendors loved him until things went Bad. Anyone who truly knows Fagan knows he has a good heart and would never do anything to hurt anyone intentionally.
Isn't karma a wonderful thing! I don't know what kind of gentle and kind Jeff "elledevaux" is referring to, as it appears that Jeff Fagan from Rock Paper Scissors is all about the $$$. He has no boundaries as to what he will do, including cheating, lying and perjury. Would you buy anything from this man after reading all this press? I think not.

Master plan ready for ND's oldest state park
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Officials are unveiling the final draft of a master plan for Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, after about a week's delay.
The initial public meeting was set last Tuesday but the state Parks and Recreation Department rescheduled it to Monday due to bad weather. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. in the park's Commissary building.
The plan incorporates input from a public meeting held in January and also the results of an online survey. Parks and Rec officials worked with an architect for nearly a year to develop it.
Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park south of Mandan is the state's oldest park, at 105 years.

The main aim of the Project is to contribute to build very high-resolution ensemble systems in Europe, resolving the convection-permitting scale phenomena.
The main objectives are to:
A. Develop new products and methodologies for calibration of LAM ensembles for extremes and probabilistic prediction of thunderstorms and fog:
1) Inventory of existing methods and SW already developed by the Members and literature review;
2) Define and develop new products and methodologies for computation/elaboration:
· calibration of ensembles, mainly for extremes (wind, precipitation, temperature,…);
· products for probabilistic prediction of thunderstorms (clear benefit, link with research, link with EMMA), fog.
B. Understanding the sensitivity of ensemble prediction systems to soil conditions and PBL and their effect on the prediction of selected phenomena (fog and thunderstorms)
1) Investigating sensitivity of models to soil moisture and PBL;
2) Investigating the ratio of sensitivity to different sources of surface and upper air uncertainty at the CP scale.
"verbatim to complete"
The tasks
The project workload is divided into several work packages and then into tasks.
The complete list of tasks can be found here.
The requirements
The content of the requirements for the EUMETNET SRNWP-EPS Phase II (EPS-II) has a main aim: to contribute to build very high-resolution ensemble systems in Europe, resolving the convection-permitting scale phenomena. To reach this aim, the usual coordination within C-SRNWP was not enough, since dedicated meetings should be organized, where status and plans of the participants are revised and where an agreement on the ground for cooperation should be found.
The main open issues for scientific research on this subject are outlined and described in the document: "Explore the scientific methodologies suitable to build a very high-resolution ensemble" which is the Delivery 3 of the Phase I SRNWP-EPS Activity; the document was prepared by the Expert Team on EPS of the EUMETNET C-SRNWP Program. The aim of this document is to provide scientific and methodological basis for planning future work on the field; it includes a scope of topics larger than those covered by the phase II requirements.
These requirements will help to identify few tasks which can be accomplished within a limited amount of time and with a dedicated amount of resources, leading to clear and tangible outcomes such as coexistence of both operational and (focused) research activities, in order to satisfy the different needs of the NMSs. Therefore, the topics which have been identified for this Phase II requirements focus on all-the-steps-towards-the-development of a methodology for the probabilistic prediction of severe weather phenomena (e.g. thunderstorms and fog), relevant for the operational duties of the NMSs.

Change is in the air, and I'm not referring to the upcoming election where so much is at stake. The ability to change traditional mindsets just might determine whether our democracy survives or fails.
At least we have all the candidate signs littering the landscape once again to keep us feeling warm and fuzzy about our possible choices. I don't get those signs. If one decides for whom to vote based on a sign with a name, stuck in the ground, it might be better if they didn't vote at all. Actually, I dislike all media political advertising. I'd prefer candidates to state their views out of their own mouths. I'd love more debating between candidates for every office, and NO TV advertising. But sorry, I digress…
The change I was referring to is the transition of seasons, an end to the oppressive heat of summer, the beginning of the coolness of fall, and the promise of winter cold just around the bend. Sure, each season in its turn becomes a bit old at some point, which is why we're so fortunate to be able to anticipate each change in turn.
Already many of us have acquired firewood to fuel our wood stoves and fireplaces, a mixed bag for sure. Though I've always loved a cozy fire, there's always the work of preparing and stoking it each and every day. At first this is fun. By winter's end I'm tired of the process, anxious for another change, and await the warmth of spring.
There's the anticipation of favorite holidays, starting with Thanksgiving, and ending with Christmas and New Year. I've especially enjoyed Thanksgiving and Christmas from the time I was a small child – the tree, the lights, the seasonal songs and cookies, the snow, A Christmas Carol, the good cheer. The gifts were of course always fun, at first the receiving, and later also the giving.
The big meals at both holidays were something to anticipate with joy and excitement. With lots of aunts, uncles and cousins it was a time of being with my favorite people, and stuffing myself with some of my favorite food. I had two aunts that cooked the best turkey, garlic/ onion mashed potatoes and gravy on the planet, and a third who was famous, at least with my stomach, for her excellent coconut cake and cherry pie. This probably explains my quirky habit of making several turkeys and eating several coconut cakes each year ever since. And I love BIG turkeys. I've been known to cook a 20-plus pounder for just the two of us. What the heck, it's fun, and the leftovers end up morphing into all kinds of goodies over the next few weeks. And nothing beats the smell permeating the house for hours on end.
I grew up in New Jersey where the change in seasons was a bit more remarkable than on the Ridge. As August lazed into September there was a sharp and definitive crispness in the air. Multi-colored leaves covered the landscape as I walked the half mile to school in my new duds, carrying my new lunch pail and actually being excited about the day ahead -- at least on that first day. There was the meeting of old friends, the making of new ones, and the unknown expectations about new teachers and lessons. This of course eventually morphed into the thrilling anticipation of June, the end of school, and the beginning of seemingly endless summer vacation. And I was young, as were my parents. Sigh!
We're amazingly fortunate to have changes of season in the northern latitudes. Perhaps not everyone enjoys it, but change keeps us alive and vital. It's not always easy of course. Shoveling the driveway and walkways wasn't always fun, but to offset that were those exciting moments anxiously sitting around the radio listening intently to a long list of schools, praying ours was included among those closed so the day could be spent playing in the snow. I'm not sure mom was as excited as my sister and I.
Life is indeed a gift. We exist on an extremely rare -- as far as we know -- and beautiful planet: just the right distance from a marvelous star, a stabilizing moon, and capable of sustaining such a wonderful plethora of life in all shapes and sizes imaginable.
We should appreciate all we have in common instead of fighting over unimportant differences. Life is about experiencing life, and we're blessed to have so many various choices. Trying to limit the choices of others invites them to do the same to us.
Let's honor all people and lifestyles and guarantee that our nation does as well. A change of heart and mind can be as easy and natural as a change of seasons.

Dynamic Bilateral Bargaining under Private Information with a Sequence of Potential Buyers
A seller owning a single, indivisible asset faces the random arrival of privately informed buyers, with whom he can bargain sequentially. Our key result is that despite the arrival of alternative buyers the Coase conjecture continues to hold under stationary strategies if the distribution of buyer valuations has convex support: Negotiations end almost immediately and the asset is sold almost at the minimum of the seller's own reservation value and the lowest possible valuation of a buyer. We also show existence of multiple stationary equilibria, though, in the special case where the support of buyers' valuations exhibits a sufficiently large "interior gap". Taken together, our findings thus also point to a potential pitfall when analyzing only two-type distributions in more applied work. (Copyright: Elsevier)

Johnsburg Central School
Johnsburg Central School Principal Nadeen Kearney is inviting parents of local students to attend a special event to learn about the computer programs their children are using.
Parent Technology Night is scheduled for 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29 in the elementary and high school computer labs.
"I think it's really important with all the technology out there," Kearney said. "It really helps in communication with the teachers."
Parents will experience hands-on web-based programs such as the district's Parent Portal Schooltool, elementary enVision math, seventh- and eighth-grade Digit math and the high school's Blackboard Learn Program. They are expected to walk away with valuable tools and resources to help their children succeed in these programs.
"This is a chance for parents to learn how to log onto and maneuver into your child's academic programs," states the Parent Technology Night brochure. "You will learn how to help your child look up their homework, grades, schedules and how to access resources to help your child succeed. Our teachers will be showing and guiding you on a computer in our labs."
Kearney realizes there are households without computers; however, this workshop will also help those parents who don't own the technology at home.
"If they don't, we have worksheets," Kearney said. "We're kind of in the transition stage right now."
Yet some families use the computers at school and at the Town of Johnsburg Library.
"If they really want to access it, they can find places," Kearney said.
Parents can attend the Parent Technology Night with or without their children, although it may be helpful to go through the process with them, Kearney said, adding that the students may be more than willing to educate their parents about the technology.
The following is information about Parent Technology Night from the brochure.
Elementary school lab
In the elementary school computer lab, Mrs. Morris and Mr. Brown will be presenting the "Elementary enVision Math Program" from 6 to 6:45p.m.
enVision math basics:
•Child support: You will feel comfortable to support your child to make sense of mathematics and learn that they can be mathematical thinkers.
•Standards/expectations: With the implementation of the Common Core standards, expectations have changed and learning and understanding math is different from what it has been. Most adults have learned math my memorization of a specific set of principles or rules to solving problems. However, these methods do little to assist students in developing a deeper understanding of the mathematical content or the flexibility to apply these math skills in the real world.
•Navigation and visualizing: Using the elementary computer lab for assistance, parents will be able to become familiar with the site and its opportunities/options.
•How and why: Familiarity of the enVision math program your child is using and how to access the useful and meaningful parental resources to support your child's success in mathematics.
•Knowledge is power: Having the basic knowledge and understanding of what is taking place in your child's school environment (mathematics program) will allow you to aid, support and guide when appropriate.
High school lab
In the high school computer lab, Ms. Kearney and Mr. Bohmer will be presenting the "Parent Portal Schooltool" and Ms. Totzke and Mr. Wilson will be presenting the "Middle/High School Blackboard Learn Program" from 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.
Schooltool basics:
•View your child's permanent record information
•View classes, grades, schedules and keep an eye on their attendance.
Blackboard Learn basics:
•See your child's classes
•Look up detailed assignments for your child who might have been absent for a day
•Download textbooks/link to websites for class discussions
•Look on discussion boards to talk with your child about literature and novel studies
•Copy worksheets from home
•Print out vocabulary words to help your child study
•Student/parent/teacher communication regarding marking periods, assessments, projects, and field trips
For more information, visit the JCS website, click in the District Calendar and open Nov. 29, the Parent Technology Night Brochure. Or call the principal's office at 251-3504.at 251-3504.

: hope this helps
This is a very confusing topic dobbysgirl! Don't feel bad for posting. Here's what I would do, if I were going to choose a product.
Step 1. I would look at my hair. Hm... it looks like my waves are not clumped together, and are frizzing everywhere. I would like my waves to stick together and be defined.
Step 2. I need a curl defining product. Would I pick a butter? Um... well, my hair is medium-porosity 2c. A butter is very heavy, and would weigh down my waves and make them look a little oily. Puddings and custards also fall into this category, and often contain butters. I don't want that. I think I would go with either a creme, or a serum with some light leave-in conditioner underneath.
In real life: I have problems with dry ends, so after I put on my serum/creme, I may take a little pudding and scrunch it on the ends. The thickness of the butters in the pudding will keep my ends moist all throughout the day, yet still keep my waves separated and defined.
If you have very tight curls, and want curl definition but a bit of weight, you might choose a butter or a custard, like
, which actually does elongate curls.
Hope this helped!

The Club: D.C. United. Its Mission: Win championships, and serve the community. United for D.C. helps make this goal a reality. United for D.C., the charitable arm of D.C. United, aims to champion educational, health and recreational programs and events that serve disadvantaged youth of the greater Washington, D.C. by engaging the resources and skills of D.C. United and our community. Founded in 2002, United for D.C. is 50(1)3 organization committed to supporting programs and organizations that aim to accomplish the same mission. Over the years, the organization has donated thousands of volunteer hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars while touching the lives of countless children.
United for D.C. is comprised of three subgroups—United Soccer Club, United Reads, and Kicks for Kids. Each separate facet help inner-city youth learn valuable life lessons and experiences either through sport or the support of D.C. United. United Soccer Club (USC) provides disadvantaged youth of D.C. an opportunity to learn and play soccer—something that was not possible before USC began. By request, USC began its involvement in the community, reaching out to local schools to fill the void of athletic opportunities. Helping to combat childhood obesity, USC currently operates at 12 sites consisting of first grade through fifth grade as well as two middle school teams. Each team trains regularly through the year and enjoys formal competition.
United Soccer Club's mission is to teach the joy of the game, basic soccer skills, character building traits and healthy life skills. The seasons, broken up in to Fall and Spring, provide opportunities for the youth involved to see D.C. United's First Team play.
"United Soccer Club provides these kids the opportunity to get off the street," says D.C. United Director of Community Relations Aprile Pritchet. "It's after school and that's typically when they get into the most trouble between the time they get out of school and the time their parents get home from work. So it gives them just another outlet to play and have fun and be kids."
USC has enjoyed local as well as nation success. In 2010 and 2011, United Soccer Club participated in First Lady Michelle Obama's "Lets Move" campaign, aimed at eliminating childhood obesity. Also, United for DC is U.S. Soccer Foundation's Soccer for Success Grantee and Flagship Program.
The second part of United for D.C. is United Reads—a program that supports childhood literacy through partnerships with elementary schools in the greater Washington area.
Originally established in 2006, United Reads launched at Payne Elementary School, the closest school to RFK. After noted success, United Reads looked to spread its message of loving to read and keep a healthy mind and body to other schools around Washington.
Over the years, D.C. United players, coaching staff, front office staff and volunteers have dedicated their time to promoting this message. Through assemblies and in-class visits, D.C. United and Untied Reads have made a difference in encouraging D.C. youth to learn to love to read, as well as balance reading with a healthy, active lifestyle. With over 1,500 students from six different schools, Untied Reads donates over 10,000 books a year.
"I think its cool for the kids to hear from a professional athlete about the importance of reading as well as from D.C. untied employees," said Pritchet. "It gives the kids a new outlook on different opportunities that they might have when they grow up."
The third organization within United for D.C. is Kicks for Kids—a program that provides a game day experience for disadvantaged youth in the greater Washington area through various nonprofits with the goal of making this day one that no kid will soon forget, each participant attends the game free of charge, has access to post-game autographs, vouchers for food and drink, and t-shirts.
"I think it's a really cool program because the kids get the full game day experience," said Prichet. "Not only do they get to attend the game, they get essentially front row seats. They sit down as close to the field as they can get."
Each year, approximately 7,5000 kids, families and organization chaperones come to a D.C. United game through Kicks for Kids from all wards of Washington D.C. Several non-profit organizations help make this day a success by bringing their groups out to RFK for an unforgettable experience. Some of the beneficiaries include: the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Children's Inn at NIH, DC SCORES, the Latin American Youth Center and Children's National Medical Center.
"I think it's important to have the kids come to the games and have them watch their role models play, have fun and get good results," said Pritchet.

Musicians perform 'Mima Loko Ba Bimiye', a traditional Nigerian/Sierra Leonian song, using a range of traditional instruments.
- This clip is from:
- Music Makers, Infinity Diner - Timbre
- First broadcast:
- 4 June 2007
Classroom Ideas
This clip could be used when exploring African music and instruments. You could show the clip and invite the children to comment on the instruments. Do they look like any instruments they know? How do they sound? Perhaps concentrate on the lamellophone and ask the children to draw a picture of it to explore its mechanics. You could maybe help them to build a model of it using a shoe box and wooden prongs. You could ask the children how the music makes them feel - is it a happy song? What do they think the song is about?

Once committed to Penn State, 2014 linebacker signee Jared Wangler was destined to become a Wolverine when he committed in August. His father, John, played quarterback for Michigan from 1977-1980, leading them to a Rose Bowl win in 1981, and his older brother, Jack, is a redshirt freshman wide receiver for Michigan.
Wangler won't have any trouble adjusting to life as a Michigan Man.
"It'll make things a lot more smooth for me," he said. "I'll have people who I can go to for advice, and that is always beneficial.
"My dad has always told me to work my hardest in the classroom and on the field no matter what."
Wangler played on the same team as Michigan sophomore quarterback Shane Morris, at Warren De La Salle, and is good friends with many of players in Michigan's 2013 recruiting class. His brother was also a part of the class, and Wangler was intrigued at the thought of teaming up with him and Morris at the next level.
"I'm really excited," he said. "It's an awesome opportunity, and a blessing that I'll be able to play with them at the next level. They both work really hard, and I've always looked up to them."
During Wangler's junior year, the Pilots were 5-4 on the year with Morris and his brother on the team. His senior year De La Salle went 6-4, and he managed to record 68 tackles, and was named an Under Amour All-American.
"We lost some close games, but overall I thought we had a really good team, and season," Wangler said. "We competed every week, but my season was cut short due to a shoulder injury, which was a bummer."
Since the season ended, Wangler has been rehabbing his shoulder, and training with former NFL player Lance Long, and trainer John Vickers of HYPE Athletics, trying to get bigger and stronger. He's now up to 6-2, 224-pounds, and has high hopes for this season for the team, as well as himself.
"I want to compete for a spot, and contribute in any way possible," said Wangler. "I just want to make the team better, but I think we're going to have a great year. We have a lot of talented players coming back, and it seems like everyone is hungry after not having a great year last season. I'm expecting a big season out of us."
Wangler will arrive on campus for good June 21, excited to be the next generation Wangler to don the maize and blue. And although his father had a successful career, and his brother is on the team, Wangler hopes to make a name for himself, which is why he chose Michigan.
"I've always wanted to play at Michigan since I was little," he said. "It's a topnotch university with a winning tradition in football. I love Coach Hoke and Coach Mattison, and I'm trying to leave my own mark on the program."

LISBON (Aug. 2)
A group of 202 Jews who have been interned in German concentration camps arrived here today to be exchanged for Germans held by Britain.
The arrivals were held by the Germans in the Vittel camp in France, and later in the internment camps of Bergenbelsen and of Kreuzburg. They were met on their arrival here by Eliahu Dobkin, head of the immigration department of the Jewish Agency for Palestine who is now on a mission in Lisbon, and by Rabbi Diesendruck of the Lisbon Jewish Community.
The group includes forty British Jews, 150 from Tripoli and North Africa, five Palestinians, and four Polish Jews. All of them will remain in Lisbon for several weeks. The majority of them are anxious to proceed to Palestine. A group of 281 Jews from the same German concentration camps, exchanged for Germans interned by the Allies, arrived in Palestine last month.

Love Love Love! - Cary, NC
Love my Juvederm! Looks natural and gives me that "perfect pout" without looking fake! I hate needles, but this really didn't hurt at all! Pros- results last on me at least 6 months. Cons- my lips are pretty swollen the day I get it done, so I try to get it done on a day when I can just go home and keep an icepack on it. Totally worth it! READ MORE
Very Happy with my Results - Raleigh-Durham, NC
I had the Smart Lipo procedure done on my upper arms, bra roll and lower back ( muffin top) areas. I am very pleased with the results. These were done over two procedures (lower back seperate).

Helpful at the extremes, less helpful elsewhere.
Last year I examined the predictive power of a number of data points, but I didn't test turnover. Because many investors use it in their selection process, I thought I'd put turnover through the paces to see where it shakes out versus the other data points.
I'll walk you through what turnover means, how I tested it, what the tests show, and finally, what turnover tells you about a fund's strategy.
An Old Formula
The SEC mandates how fund companies calculate turnover, and that method could stand to be updated. The algorithm is a sum of the dollar value of the lesser of purchases and sales during the fiscal year divided by average net assets over that period. As you'd expect, a 100% turnover ratio means the manager has turned over an amount of shares equal to the total value of the portfolio. It doesn't actually mean he's held nothing for more than one year--he may have held half the portfolio unchanged throughout the year and turned over the other half twice.
The SEC uses purchases or sales rather than both because that would be double-counting. However, by choosing the lesser of the two rather than summing them and dividing by 2, the SEC is allowing some quirky results to sneak in. If a fund has had large inflows or outflows in a year, the managers may have made far more purchases than sales or vice versa. In that case, the turnover rate would be significantly understated.
Bond funds present an additional challenge. A maturing bond constitutes a sale, so a short-term bond fund where most of the holdings are maturing in a year will run near 100% turnover simply by buying an equal amount of bonds to replace the ones that mature.
How We Ran Our Test
Using rolling five-year periods beginning in 2000, we ran a test that was similar to past tests of predictive value. We calculated returns and success rate to find out what the chances are that a fund would survive and outperform its peers over the ensuing period. So, a 40% success rate over a five-year period tells you that 40% of the funds in a certain group survived and outperformed. If another group had a 20% rate, you know the former was better than the latter.
The idea is to use real data that existed in the past and see how one might have done using that past data rather than using today's data and projecting backward. Also, asking whether a fund survived is a way of accounting for the fact that many weak-performing funds are killed off each year in a way that can skew studies of fund data.
For turnover, I added another wrinkle. I looked at pre-expense returns. I wanted to separate turnover from expenses. The lowest-cost funds are mostly index funds, and those funds generally have low turnover. Were we to run the data including expenses, we might find noisy results in which low turnover simply captured low costs in the form of index funds.

I've used the free keyboard shortcuts plug-in to add shortcuts to select container/next etc.!
Reverse the Effects of Paste Into with Select Content
Nina wrote:
I have grouped several objects together and then pasted them into a shape / frame. HELP! I do not seem to be able to release the objects from the frame.
Don't panic, Nina. I know what you mean: After you use Paste Into, it seems like you cannot select those objects again (especially a group). But you can. You just need a trick or two. And you need to understand the difference between two terms: Content and Container. The Container is any frame that holds an image, another frame, or a group of frames. The Content is whatever is inside the frame.
Here are three ways to select Content (objects inside other objects):
- After selecting the outer frame with the Selection tool, you can choose Object > Select > Content. That selects the group inside the frame.
- You can also click the Select Content button in the Control panel.
- Another way is to Option/Alt-click on the contents with the Direct Selection tool. Each time you Option/Alt-click, you select more. Keep Option/Alt-clicking until you get the selection you want. For example, you can click on an image, then Option/alt-click to select its container, then Option/Alt-click to select the group that the graphic frame is part of, and so on.
Once you have the content selected that you want (in your case, the group), you can choose Edit > Cut, and then Edit > Paste to release it from its container.
By the way, I want to throw out one extra tip here, having to do with nested frames: How do you move a frame (or group) when it is nested inside another frame? After you select it, drag its center point! The center point always lets you move an object, even when its grouped or nested with other objects. That's not immediately obvious, but it's very helpful once you get the hang of it.
[Updated: Note that in CS5 and later you can double-click with the Selection Tool to select inside nested objects. More details are on this article.]
8 Comments on "Reverse the Effects of Paste Into with Select Content"
Just to complete the infos, I think that the Option/Alt click tip works only with the Direct Selection tool active, not with the Selection tool, is that right?
Guido selecting your link takes me to http://deleted/ I don't think this was intended. Does it need to be fixed?
Great Tip David! I come across many people who are confused by this one.
It looks like that "deleted" is a mistake. But now I don't know how to fix it…
Thanks David! So it is that simple. I wonder why Indesign doesn't just have the same clipping mask and release option as Adobe Illustrator!

MADE of English sustainable hardwood and ash and with George etched across its back rail, this chair is fit for a prince.
Woodstock manufacturer the Real Wood Furniture Company has made its first Windsor children's chair to celebrate Prince George's birth and wants to present it to the future King himself.
Owner Chris Baylis said: "This was a very specific design, inspired by the arrival of Prince George."
Mr Baylis is hoping to use vague connections to the Duchess of Cambridge to personally present it to the royal baby.
He said: "We're checking out how we can do that at the moment.
"We know someone who might be able to put us in touch with Kate so we will see. I think it's definitely a chair fit for a prince."
The chair is being exhibited at the shop alongside 32 other chairs, dating from 1780 through to the present day, until the end of May.
