How effective is the flu vaccine?
Vaccine efficacy also varies from one person to another. Past studies of healthy young adults have shown influenza vaccine to be 70%-90% effective in preventing illness. In the elderly and those with certain chronic medical conditions such as HIV, the vaccine is often less effective in preventing illness. Studies show the vaccine reduces hospitalization by about 70% and death by about 85% among the elderly who are not in nursing homes. Among nursing-home residents, vaccine can reduce the risk of hospitalization by about 50%, the risk of pneumonia by about 60%, and the risk of death by 75%-80%. However, these figures did not apply to the 2014-2015 flu vaccine because the quadrivalent (four antigenic types) vaccine did not match well with 2014-2015 circulating strains of the flu (vaccine effectiveness was estimated to be 23%). This occurs because the vaccine needs to be produced months before the flu season begins, so the vaccine is designed by projecting and choosing the most likely viral strains to include in the vaccine. If drift results in changing the circulating virus from the strains used in the vaccine, efficacy may be reduced. However, the vaccine is still likely to lessen the severity of the illness and to prevent complications and death, according to the CDC.
Why should the flu (influenza) vaccine be taken every year?
Although only a few different influenza virus strains circulate at any given time, people may continue to become ill with the flu throughout their lives. The reason for this continuing susceptibility is that influenza viruses are continually mutating, through the mechanisms of antigenic shift and drift described above. Each year, the vaccine is updated to include the most current influenza virus strains that are infecting people worldwide. The fact that influenza viral genes continually change is one of the reasons vaccine must be taken every year. Another reason is that antibody produced by the host in response to the vaccine declines over time, and antibody levels are often low one year after vaccination so even if the same vaccine is used, it can act as a booster shot to raise immunity.
Many people still refuse to get flu shots because of misunderstandings, fear, "because I never get any shots," or simply a belief that if they get the flu, they will do well. These are only some of the reasons -- there are many more. The U.S. and other countries' populations need to be better educated about vaccines; at least they should realize that safe vaccines have been around for many years (measles, mumps, chickenpox, and even a vaccine for cholera), and as adults they often have to get a vaccine-like shot to test for tuberculosis exposure or to protect themselves from tetanus. The flu vaccines are as safe as these vaccines and shots that are widely accepted by the public. Consequently, better efforts need to be made to make yearly flu vaccines as widely acceptable as other vaccines. Susceptible people need to understand that the vaccines afford them a significant chance to reduce or prevent this potentially debilitating disease, hospitalization and, in a few, a lethal flu-caused disease.

Admin SSL: Upgrading causes endless loop
I recently upgraded my version of WordPress, and it caused Admin SSL to causing an endless loop. These are the steps I went through and the preconditions:
1. admin-ssl is installed and working working fine under wordpress 2.5 – I can login as administrator, and am redirected to ssl page for login.
2. https://site and http://site both work, as does https://site/wp-login, where again, the login successful.
3. I upgraded to wordpress 2.9.2, activated all other plugins, the site was working fine.
4. While logged in as administrator, clicking the button to activate admin ssl caused firefox to hang, coming back with:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
Trying the same thing in Safari caused the same thing, but the URL bar showed it flashing between http://site/wp-admin and https://site/wp-admin a number of times before erroring out with:
Safari can't open the page.
Too many redirects occurred trying to open "http://site/wp-admin/". This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.
After this, going to the site shows 'Site Admin' and 'Logout' links, so there's something redirecting after login that fails.
There's also nothing in the webserver logs for this, and again, both https://site and http://site load OK. Could this be a bug in the Admin SSL plugin?
- The topic 'Admin SSL: Upgrading causes endless loop' is closed to new replies.

About the Maps
These maps of imaginary cities were drawn by me from about 1969 - 1973 between the ages of 12-15. Most of them were drawn on standard notebook paper with a felt tip pen and then taped together as they grew. I've since categorized the maps into 3 periods, Early, Mass Transit and Post Mass Transit. Each period hascertain characteristics in the way the cities were planned and developed, and each section of this site explains some of the specifics.
To understand the scale of these cities, a good rule of thumb to use is 20 blocks per mile. The topography of these cities is essentially flat. Other than water, there are no geographic obstacles to growth or street layouts such as mountains.
I moved from the Suburbs of New jersey to the West Village of New York with my family when I was 11. New York for me then was both fascinting and frightening. Everything outside of my neighborhood was just some "other" place, vaugely mysterious and intimidating. For the most part, I was just too young to explore the outer boroughs on my own, so I was left to look at maps and imagine life out there among the miles and miles of monotonous blocks. Reading maps, exploring the subway system, and exploring the city over time became great hobbies of mine and I think these maps reflect both that love. they also show a coming to terms with my new urban surroundings and gave me a way to make some sense of it perhaps. My map making, for the most part, ended around 10th grade and was replaced by life drawing and painting.
I've often thought about and been asked what these cities were like, what they looked like and who the poeple were who lived in them. I never really delved into this aspect of fantasy too much when I drew them, but I do remember regarding these places and the people who inhabited them as much like any American City, a bit dull perhaps, certainly monotonous and gritty with occaisional moments of granduer. Architecturally they were identical to American Cities. My cities were hardly utopias, and if anything were to describe them best they should be called dystopias. They were frankly depressing places to live and work. As far as I was concerned, everyone spent their time getting from one place to another and thought about little else. As such, these cities were really about transportation - Streets, Highways, Bridges and Subways. The most fun for me was creating landscapes that presented problems in need of solutions in managing transportation.
There have been two showings of some of these maps. In 1980, I was given a show at the Children's Museum in NYC, and in 1981 a map was selected to be included in a show entitiled "Mapped Art, Chart Routes and Regions" that toured the US. Since then, these maps have been left in a large envelope to gather dust. I'm happy to present them here and hope you enjoy looking at them.

I actually believe this
I don't get what the Wii U is. Is it a controller or a console, and apparently it can play games on the scale of Battlefield and Darksiders. I just don't get IT. Someone please explain.
Battlefield 3 IS GOING WAIT SCRATCH THAT. ITS ALREADY INSANE!
I gotta admit when I first got Mass Effect 2, I was excited, with all the hype and everyone telling me it was the best gaming story experience. But really I didn't think the story was that good, IDK. I did hear that the first one was better. But the gameplay was really fun.
Anyways looking forward to Mass Effect 3
That trailer looked pretty bad ass. The cg graphics are incredible, and it looks like the game play could be like Uncharted's game play but with a little survival.
No, your right, it was already on the PlayStation Store, I still have it on my ps3. Don't know why its up their though.
Finally someone, makes some sense, just because you created a character doesn't make your game a rpg.
Haven't seen this game in a while.
I wouldn't mind seeing some new ip's, I'm interested in that action rpg for PS3.
Can't wait to get Wipeout HD, & Super Stardust HD, been waiting to get those games for a while. I already have Infamous and LBP, and on my European Account, I get Dead Nation and Ratchet and Clank:Quest for Booty.
Can't wait to get all of this plus Outland.
hey where would I get one of those, how much would it cost, and how would I installed it because God knows I need more space, I only have 5 gigs left. I know I'm asking alot of questions sorry for that.
wait, theirs a Bungie Day now. When the $%@* did that happen?
Okay things are starting to sound good, now I think Ryan Reynolds would be a perfect drake, everyone who says Nathan Fillion, REALLY! I mean come on, he's not really a good actor to began with.
As who the directer should be I have no idea, what do you think?
The Black Throne dungeon, what part was that?
Darksiders was fantastic, I loved the world, the game-play, the puzzles, it was one of my favorite games of 2010. Can't wait for Darksiders 2, any improvement suggestions cause I can't think of any right now.
uh cause it looks BAD-ASS!
E3 looks amazing, can't wait.
Hopefully it will be, but I'm not worried it won't be better than R2, I'm worried it won't be better than R1. Resistance 1 was one of my first first person shooters I've played & it was amazing, the look, the feel, the atmosphere, it really felt as if humanity was falling

Ray Hnatyshyn
Life Path Number 9
Ray Hnatyshyn is a male celebrity.
He was born on Friday March 16th 1934, in Unknown.
Ray Hnatyshyn is the philanthropist, humanitarian, socially conscious, and is deeply concerned about the state of the world, for which he has great compassion and idealism. Ray is a utopian, and will spend his life trying to realize some aspect of his utopian dream, sacrificing money, time, and energy for a better world. It is in giving that Hnatyshyn finds much satisfaction.
Ray Hnatyshyn has a broad outlook on life. He tends to see the big picture, rather than the minute details. Ray naturally attracts people from all walks of life who can fit into his larger plans and take over the areas he finds uninteresting. The person with a 9 Life Path is rarely prejudiced or accepts social biases of people. Instead, they evaluate people on the basis of what they can do for the larger cause. They are the true egalitarian.
Ray is imaginative and creative, especially at harmoniously arranging the beauty already potential in the environment. These abilities can lead Hnatyshyn into such fields as interior decorating, landscape art, and photography. But because of his strong social consciousness, Ray Hnatyshyn can be an effective politician, lawyer, judge, minister, teacher, healer, and environmentalist. Vocations that require self-sacrifice and have a clear social impact are common among 9s.
He is often disappointed by the realities of life: the shortcomings of others, or of his own self's. Somehow, Ray Hnatyshyn does not want to accept the imperfections of the world, a feeling that drives him constantly to try to improve upon it. But rather than be satisfied with his efforts, and those of others, Ray relentlessly pushes on, striving for greater accomplishments. He is often unsatisfied with the results. In short, Hnatyshyn lacks the perspective that would otherwise make it possible for him to enjoy life more fully, and accept its natural limitations.
Ray Hnatyshyn has a controlled enthusiasm and the ability to finish what he starts.
A key to Ray's personality is the necessity of sacrifice. Ray has to learn to let go of material possessions and relationships, the inherent lesson being that holding on too tightly to anything causes pain.
Money comes to Ray Hnatyshyn through mysterious or unexpected ways: inheritance; the benevolence of someone who was inspired by Hnatyshyn's work; or a lucky investment. Conversely, if Ray pursues money for its own sake, after giving up on his larger dreams, he is likely to find himself empty handed.
The most successful and satisfying road for a nine is giving; sharing and sacrificing for a larger goal, without expecting anything in return. Ray's greatest chance at success is to tie his personal fortunes to an endeavor that makes the world a better place for others. Very often, this turns into a highly successful and lucrative enterprise, providing amply for Ray Hnatyshyn and his family. His life rests on the axiom that the more he gives, the bigger his reward.
Ray Hnatyshyn is romantic, but his love is more impersonal. He tends to be focused on his dreams instead.
When Ray is not in harmony with his true nature, he can fall to moodiness, or become aloof, and withdrawn. He can become timid, uncertain, and ungrateful, putting the blame for his troubles on others or the world. Hnatyshyn has a gift for examining his life objectively, and at some distance. He has to be honest with himself. By openly facing his shortcomings, as well as his strengths, he develops equilibrium. Ray Hnatyshyn is thus able to love and better understand himself and all of life.
You and Ray
About Ray's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Ray Hnatyshyn's birth. In that instant, Ray stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Hnatyshyn's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Ray Hnatyshyn's life.

TILSTARR has considerably upped her game since switching from the turf to the allweather and has a huge chance to record a maiden victory at Lingfield.
Roger Teal's juvenile was well held in a typically warm Newmarket maiden on her racecourse introduction in early August and was similarly unable to cut much ice on her next couple of appearances at Sandown and Yarmouth.
However, she has unsurprisingly fared significantly better since moving into handicap company, finishing a fine third at Kempton in mid-November and stepping up again when beaten just half a length into second at the same track last time.
Loading article content
She is higher in the weights now, but will find few better opportunities than the lingfieldpark.co.uk Handicap in which to get her head in front.
There was much to like about the winning performance of Jacobs Son at the Surrey track a couple of weeks ago and he will be difficult to beat as he aims to follow up in the Dry Hill Handicap.
The five-year-old has a pretty consistent profile overall, having finished in the first three on over half of his 20 career starts, but he has won just twice.
Robert Mills' charge had a rating pushing 80 a little over a year ago, but that has fallen to a far more workable 65.
He was suffering during the summer, but appears to have regained his form now, with a couple of placed efforts followed by his course and distance triumph last time.
William Twiston-Davies appeared to get a particularly good tune out of him that day and the fact he maintains the ride can only be a good thing.
Imperial Guest is taken to translate his smart turf form to the all-weather in the Betdaq Mobile Apps Conditions Stakes at Kempton.
Although the son of Imperial Dancer has not raced on an artificial surface, he will have had plenty of experience of it exercising on the gallops.
George Margarson's useful performer comes out top of the ratings for this seven-furlong heat and has some classy performances to his name.

Hey Chowhounders,
I know this is a redundant question, but I have an hour to make a birthday reservation (for 2 weeks from now, on a Wed or Thurs) and I need a few suggestions for where I might be able to get a reservation. I'm looking for something nice, up to $100 per person and not a steakhouse.
Any suggestions along with ballpark prices would be much appreciated.
Sorry for such a boring question!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Irrigation' started by dbinaz, Apr 27, 2007.
Is it bad to control 2 valves on one zone? Or should it always be 1 for 1?
I mean what are you running off the zone?
do you mainfold?
I have never heard about 2 valves on 1 zone.....but im not gods gift to irrigation..guys like wet boots/purp haze/dirty water are pretty good on this stuff..
let me know how it goes buddy
Most controllers can manage it, with the provision that you are not powering a master valve or pump relay. What's the reason for running two valves at one time?
I'm going to say he needs to match output GPM better. I'd say something like running drip concurrent with a rotor zone.
Like Boots said - you can run two zones on a controller station.
Some instances might be:
Two small zones seperated by larger zones. ie. small turf panels that are not large enough for rotors. Wire them together to utilize system flow capacity.
Two small areas seperated across a large expanse of paving or concrete. Rather than running an additional long length of pipe through a sleeve (if there is a sleeve available) wire two smaller valves together and utilize system flow capability.
You can water two drip zones that are widely seperated can be wired together to get the most out of the system.
On a large system 4" ML or larger with a small water window, you can run multiple zones simultaneously. On a 6" looped ML with a 4" meter we ran two controllers at a time, two valves per station (70-75 GPM/valve) in order to get them done within the water window we had during restriction periods. We actually had 5 controllers and 150 2" valves. Had the ability to water the area once every 5 days and no daytime watering.(Austin, TX. water restrictions). Did some creative scheduling and divided the property into 4 water day sections. Worked fine.
So, yes if you need it, you can run multiple zones on the same station.
Yes you can, like the guys said above.
Rotar has learned quickly, tell me Rotar, what does "do you manifold" mean?
a few valves>1 box...
mainifold=main junction aka heart of the system....
but i learned that in irrigation school in TeJas
NoNoNo what does and I quote "do you manifold" mean? I know what a manifold is
ahhhh i see i wanted to know how does he set up his valves......
Ie.. mainfold or every zone=separate? not sure what you call that?

Hani Hussein for Senate
1. Adjusting Financial Aid
As of right now, UC Berkeley's financial aid office has an ineffective method of assessing the
estimated average cost of completing an academic year at UC Berkeley. The annual budget that
is currently institutionalized, is supposed to be a standardized financial aid review to create the
financial aid plan that reflects student's' cost of living at Cal. Unfortunately, issues such as
homeless, food insecurity, and lack of sanitation & health care services, are very much prevalent
in the lives of low-income students and students of color her as UC Berkeley. This issue needs to
be addressed and a resolution must be presented. In utilizing a standardized budget, the
University fails in considering the realistic cost of what it means to live in Berkeley for low
income students or students of color. The current process relies on students to submit adjusted
cost of attendance documentation and an extensive wait time. Low income students who rely
on financial aid as a primary means of paying their tuition are then met with the challenge of
juggling academics, multiple jobs and everyday tasks to ensure that they have the basic
necessities for survival(food and a home) and their paperwork is successfully processed. It's an
unnecessary difficult process that puts students of color at a disadvantage in an already
overwhelming system. UC Berkeley needs to do more to meet the financial needs of students.
One way that I intend to work on this issue is working to implement measures that ensure
accurate methods are utilized when determining the cost of living in Berkeley and surrounding
areas which would increase the amount of aid that could be include in the financial aid
packages of students. This would be done by working with the office of Financial Aid to enact
policies that are accurately and frequently updated to reflect the living expenses of low-income
students. As an ASUC Senator, I will collaborate with the future Office of President to make this
something that is inclusive of all students.
2. Investing in Black Education
While in this position I would like to focus on the retention and academic success of the Black
community at UC Berkeley through academic support programs that would provide assistance
in navigating higher education and beyond. This platform is the highest of all of my priorities
as a senator. As higher education gets more expensive, students are met with the challenge of
trying to afford tuition, living expenses, books, food, medical expenses and everyday expenses
which is too much of a financial burden. As of February 21, 2017, The Fannie Lou Hamer Black
Resource Center has opened with a singular mission of enhancing the collegiate experience for
all Black people on and office campus. Even though we, the Black community, were granted
space, the battle has not ended; we were granted the task of managing the entire refurbishment
of the space as well as creatively strategizing ways of sourcing programmatic funds. In the
position as the Black/African Diaspora endorsed senator, I will assist in fighting for pure equity
for my community. When assessing the reason on why the current Black population bounces
between 2.3-2.8%, the common concern of prospective Black students deals with the visibility of
the community. To my greatest capabilities as senator, I will strengthen the ties between the
Black Student Union, the Black Recruitment and Retention Center, and the African American
Student Development Office to ensure the holistic matriculation of Black students
transitioning in and out of the university. This includes nurturing and fully developing all Black
and Multicultural communities spaces; making sure that not only all of their programmatic
funding needs are met, but also that staff, faculty, students, and community members see all of
our spaces, resources and opportunities, as their tools of improving the campus climate at the
3. Mental Health Matters
One of the most prevalent issues among students of color in the UC system is having
inadequate resources, including culturally comprehensive mental health services. The
increased prevalence of issues such as depression, PTSD from macroaggressions or racism,
suicidal ideations, anxiety, eating disorders and addiction is not one that we can continue to
ignore. Although mental health might be on the forefront of college students mind, college is a
critical period for mental health. Per the National Alliance on Mental Illness, "75% of lifetime
cases of mental health conditions begin by age 24." Having a healthy state of mental health is
critical for the success of students, academically and holistically. College students often face
multiple stressors such the pressure to do well academically, attain internship, be a competitive
applicant for graduate school and scholarships, all the while juggling one to two jobs. and these
stressors contribute to poor mental health. If left untreated, these issues can become debilitating
for students. I would like to develop programs addressed at expanding campus services such as
Counseling and Psychological Services offered through University Health Services and peer
support networks. Additionally, I would work with student-led initiatives such as
Student-to-Student Peer Counseling, You Mean More, Half of Us and the Mental Health
Coalition to address the accessibility of mental health information and campus-wide events. In
doing this work, I would work with the Office of Academic Affairs Vice President in bringing
these initiatives to fruition. In addressing mental health, it's important to not only provide
resources and service that meet the needs of our campus community but also work towards
building a space that takes preventative measures when discussing mental health and wellness
in general. Thus, my work would focus on creating spaces thats allow my community to heal,
grow and share which would be significant in dispelling the stigma associated with mental
health. These spaces would be achieved through grant applications and collaborations with
existing organizations whether that be physically spaces such as additional meditation rooms
and more CPS satellite offices or through events such as healing circles and self care events.
This work would be essential in creating communities that foster a safe environment in raising
awareness and addressing concerns, especially in communities of color where there is a great
stigma exists on the topic of mental health.

text: We all know that there are many good spray heads out there and we probably have our favorites and our dislikes. Our district has pretty much used Toro 570s over the years and it doesn't pay to change from a maintenance standpoint; i.e. it's easier to carry one sprinkler and one nozzle tray when you have the potential problems of THOUSANDS of these spread out over 40 different sites. It's quicker and more cost effective (time!) for us to just gut the old sprinkler and insert a new one into the existing body. However, over the years we've had systems designed by landscape architects lacking "trench time" where typical 3-row spray pop-ups were placed in areas say 30' wide. I'm looking at rehabilitating these areas by capping off the middle row and every other side row (only an example) and installing MP Rotator nozzles on the existing spray pop-ups. But, here's the problem. Out of all the sprinkler types we use the pop-ups are the most likely to stick and get sheared off by a mower or line trimmer. We know that there are many factors involved in this sticking problem including (but not limited to) spring strength, scoring of the pop-up riser, non vertical attitude of the sprinkler, soil composition around the sprinkler, sprinkler head depth, amount of thatch, etc. What experiences have you had and which spray head would you recommend as far as reliability of retraction over the long haul? I have the authority to change sprinkler types (i.e. we've gone from Toro rotors to Hunter rotors over the past ten years and we still have plenty of Toro 640s in the ground) even if it means it would take 20 years to eventually change them all, and by that time there will be other sprinklers on the market. Reliability of retraction is the key I'm looking for. Thanks. Hayes :blob3:

Pablo I'm right there with you and I will bring it up for sure and let you know what happens. Have a good long weekend.
If you're going to raise the topic of the NTBA at th next OTA meeting, I think you could raise some benefits of working with the NTBA with the board.
Just like the OTA tries to regulate it's members to improve the industry, so does the NTBA. Why not work with them to try and build bridges between brokers and carriers. NTBA members could agree to a set of condidtions for membership. The OTA could work with the NTBA to develop a set of business practises that are beneficial to both carriers and brokers. Carriers who do business with NTBA members could be assured of fair and equitable business practices as agreed between the OTA and the NTBA. I get that there are a lot of difficult issues here, but not impossible to hammer out.
Brokers and Carriers are both stakeholders in this industry and have a vested interest in it being profitable and fair for both our types of businesses. Working together could help achieve that goal. While I'm not part of the board of the NTBA, I'm sure they would agree with my sentiments.
For years there has been so much animosity between carriers and brokers. Your chair's attendance at the NTBA meeting sure was a refreshing change. Let's keep it going.
My appologies, Chair of the OTA
Hi Pablo, your comments about how she the President of the OTA didn't even know the NTBA existed are interesting since the the President of the OTA is David Bradley so I guess the not knowing works both ways.
That being said I am a board member with the OTA and I will bring this up at the next meeting because I do agree with you in that we need to work closely together to make this a better industry. I think the NTBA is a great association.
Nice to see OTA there.
While it was nice to see the OTA at the broker meeting yesterday, it was clear how far we still have to go. The President of the OTA commented that she didn't even know we existed before we contacted her. She also commented that we "must be the 'classy' brokers" Overall, I think she did a great job in addressing the association, but it was clear we have a long way to go to foster true partnerships between carriers and brokers.
I would hope that she uses her tenure to help this situation.
Polaris Transport Carriers Inc won the Platinum Award for being voted the top carrier for 2008 by the membership of the National Transportation Brokers Association May 7, 2009.


text: I have my HTC Incredible coming soon. I have a gmail account as my main personal email/contacts/calendar. I also have a hosted exchange account as my work email/contacts/calendar. I was thinking that I'll set up my gmail account as my main account on my Incredible and I'll use Activesync/Exchange for my work email. When the phone syncs these accounts, what is going to happen to my contacts and calendars? Will they still be split up? Can I view the personal and work contacts and calendars individually? What I'm really worried about is that my exchange contacts/calendar will sync back out to my gmail contacts/calendar and vice versa. I don't want that to happen. So how exactly does this work? Do I have different setup options that I need to set before I do this all to make sure it's how I want?

The main goals of treatment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are:
- To prevent the blood clot from becoming larger.
- To prevent the blood clot from traveling to the lungs (pulmonary embolism).
- To prevent post-thrombotic syndrome, a condition that can cause pain, sores, and swelling of the affected leg.
- To prevent blood clots from returning.
DVT is usually treated with anticoagulant medicines. These medicines are often called blood thinners, but they do not actually thin the blood. They prevent blood clots by increasing the time it takes a blood clot to form. Also, anticoagulants help prevent existing blood clots from becoming larger.
You might take anticoagulants for at least 3 months. The length of time will vary based on your own health, where the blood clot is in your leg, and your risk for a pulmonary embolism.2
Other treatments may be used in the hospital for some people. These treatments include thrombolytic medicine or vena cava filters. These treatments are not common. They might be used for people who are at risk for serious problems from DVT.
For more information on these treatments, see Medications and Other Treatment.
Your doctor may also recommend self-care to relieve symptoms and prevent complications. This care includes:
- Walking.
- Elevating your leg.
- Wearing compression stockings.
For more information, see Home Treatment.

Dame Patience Jonathan: First Lady of Nigeria
Patience Jonathan, Nigeria's First Lady, is a champion for the rights and growth of women. The coupling of her position and passion is a much – needed weapon in a world and society known as "a man's world." She has consistently played roles in women's empowerment starting when her husband, now Nigerian's President Goodluck Jonanthan, was Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State. Women face some of the greatest challenges in the world; we are usually given the worst end of the stick in many dire situations like poverty and war. In many cases, the ability of women to enjoy the basic freedoms of life is choked up by deep-rooted societal norms, cultures and practices. In Nigeria, the most populous Black nation in the world, the experiences of women are no different, and the always fashionably dressed Patience Jonathan has effectively established herself as a women's advocate. Her outspoken personality and the strength of her convictions strive to ensure that all issues and concerns of women and the girl-child in Nigeria are given priority.
Patience Jonathan's desire that all people enjoy equal opportunities led her to birth the Women for Change and Development Initiative (W4CI) in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, on October 15th 2010. W4CI takes active interest in promoting women's empowerment and gender equality. Patience Jonathan brings her enthusiasm about the work she does to the public and to her speeches which in the past years have been the running joke among Nigerians and the world at large. Google 'Patience Jonathan' and you will be inundated with website after website poking fun at her many speeches laced with grammatical errors. One of the more popular jokes being a speech she gave at an event for widows. She started with the phrase, "My fellow widows," to the anger and amusement of the Nigerian people who were aware of the living and breathing President Goodluck Jonathan. This phrase has generated several discussions about her role, education and capabilities as a leader. Her grammar tense, wrong word choices and word misapplication are the bane of her reign as first lady, and many have suggested that the First Lady must stop speaking in public. Nonetheless, her supporters say a woman who speaks better English than a good percentage of Nigerians should not be restrained from speaking in public especially if she is channeling her energy into improving the overall lives of the people
Patience Jonathan was born in Port Harcourt, and obtained her post secondary education at the University of Port Harcourt. It is an education that many find impossible to believe when she speaks, while others lament the state of Nigeria's education system. Patience Jonathan passed the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in 1980, and nine years later, she obtained the National Certificate of Education (NCE) in Mathematics/Biology from the River State College of Arts and Science in Port Harcourt. Her quest for knowledge and growth later landed her at the University of Port Harcourt where she studied Biology and Psychology. Her path took her from a career in teaching to banking then back to teaching. In 1999, she left her position at the Bayelsa State Ministry of Education when her husband, now Nigerian's President Goodluck Jonathan, became the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State. They have two children together.
While Nigerians rightfully debate the oral communication skills of their first lady, Patience Jonathan has been recognized locally and nationally in the country and internationally for her philanthropic work. She received the "Beyond The Tears" International Humanitarian Award in 2008, for her role in the global fight against HIV/AIDS, the African Goodwill Ambassador Award also in 2008 and she was the recipient of the "Wind of Change" Award from the South/South Women's Organization. Between 2005 and 2007 when President Goodluck Jonathan served as Governor, Patience Jonathan served the state in the capacity of the first Lady of Bayelsa State. During this period, Mrs. Jonathan founded many philanthropic and women empowerment programs, among them are the A-Aruere Reachout Foundation (AARF), which she set up to improve the status and earning capacity of women and youths.
Thankfully, improving one's written and spoken English is a problem that can be fixed. It is rather important to note that while Patience Jonathan's spoken English does need work, she is primarily understood and communicates effectively with rural and inner township Nigerian women. Her supporters are quick to point out that what the Nigerian elites find troubling about her is what endears her to "real" Nigerian women. Her critics are often quick to fire back with questions. Where exactly is she making an impact and to which group of women is she making a difference with the bad standard of living in the country and the affluent lifestyle she enjoys? Her not-so-good or bad English grammar seem to have overtaken the shine and attention from her work. And while it is hilarious and even unfortunate, (and the source of dinner-table conversations); it certainly seems the least of harms because it does not pose a threat to national security.

The clock is ticking: there are now only four weeks to go until Bute Fights Back, a sponsored walk on the island aiming to raise money for the fight against cancer.
Unlike other sponsored walks, with Bute Fights Back you can choose the distance you cover - and, perhaps more significantly, which charity you raise money for.
The event is on Saturday, August 17 and covers either a 5km walk or run within the grounds of Mount Stuart, or a 10km walk or run from Rothesay Joint Campus to the Mount Stuart grounds.
The entry forms suggest one of six charities - Macmillan Cancer Support, Cancer Research UK, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Calum's Cabin, Cancer Support Scotland and the Brianne Roberts Trust, all with a close connection to Bute - although there's also the option to nominate a cancer charity of your choice.
The event is the brainchild of a group of staff at Rothesay Joint Campus - in particular Rothesay Primary's head of learning and teaching, Kirsteen MacDonald, who received the 'all clear' two years ago after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
Entry forms and sponsor forms are available, in exchange for a £2 registration fee, from The Buteman's office in Victoria Street, from the Calum's Cabin shop in Tower Street and from Print Point in West Princes Street. But don't hang about - you've only got four weeks to get yourself in shape!

Kandahar blast an anti-Islamic act: Karzai
Kandahar blast an anti-Islamic act: Karzai
KANDAHAR CITY (PAN): Four people were killed and 22 others wounded during a bomb explosion in the Ganj area of Kandahar City on Monday morning, an official said.
Javed Faisal, the governor's spokesman, told Pajhwok Afghan News the bomb had been placed in a handcart. The blast occurred at 9.30am, he added.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing in the Bagh Pul area, west of the southern city -- the birthplace of the Taliban movement.
Meanwhile, President Hamid Karzai vehemently denounced the explosion. Targeting civilians in the holy month of Ramadan was against all Islamic and human norms, he said.
In a statement from his office, the president called the attack an act of enmity against Islam and extended his sincere condolences to the victims' families.

The Montana National Guard and Montana State Parks today kicked off a project to repair the switchback road at Makoshika State Park near Glendive.
The project is a product of the Department of Defense Innovate Readiness Training program that seeks to promote troop readiness and cut project costs. Senator John Walsh, the former commander of the Montana National Guard, brokered this collaboration during his time as Montana's Lieutenant Governor.
"This partnership will help Makoshika's visitors again experience all the park has to offer," Walsh said. "I'm happy to see that work is beginning so Montanans can enjoy Montana's natural beauty and explore the last best place."
Over 100 soldiers from two National Guard units began work today and will work seven hours a day for six weeks to strip the asphalt and construct a new road. The switchback road was originally damaged in 2011 by heavy rains.
Makoshika State Park is the largest state park in Montana and attracted 600,000 thousand visitors in 2013. The park showcases badlands landscape, rare dinosaur fossils, and an educational visitor's center.
Walsh served in the Montana National Guard for 33 years and was appointed Adjutant General from 2008 to 2012.

Posted by: admin in: Politics
Could you explain to our readers when you decided to become a politician?
I became interested in politics or should I say became interested in social issues when I was teenager and gradually I grew into politics. I also had political ideals and models such as Mr Juha Rihtniemi, the former chairman of the National Coalition Party. I was actively involved at the National Coalition Youth Association. Later I wanted to lobby on women's right and our status.
I have to say that I step by step grew up into politics. I started my career as a politician in municipal elections and then in 1983 I was elected in the general elections to the Finnish Parliament.
Did you have strong political beliefs during your youth?
I have always believed in independent initiative and entrepreneurship. I believe that with your own work you have an impact on others wellbeing. I come from an entrepreneur family so I have a great faith in people and how they with their own work can improve others life.
Was the choice of becoming a "full time politician" difficult to make?
It was not difficult to me but it was no easy matter for my husband if he is nowadays my momentous backer.
How could you present the National Coalition Party to our readers who don't know it?
National Coalition Party or Kokoomus as we Finns know it is a true ideological party which have a lot to answer for. First of all National Coalition Party is a civilised party. In market economy system one should not forget humanity whilst moving ahead with the plans. Our party sets great store by environmental matters and durable development. National Coalition Party also wants to maintain affluent society and our national identity. I would say that throughout its history, three ideological emphases have co-existed within the party, those of social reformism, conservatism and liberalism. To this day, varying conservative ideological tendencies exist side by side in the National Coalition Party.
Has the National Coalition Party always been present in the Finnish political life?
Yes even our party was 21 years in opposition and finally in 1987 became a government party. The National Coalition Party was founded 1918 at a time when Finland's former party division had grown outdated as a result of the independence achieved by the nation in 1917. The guiding idea behind the establishment of the party was the achievement of national unity through the promotion of social justice, among other things. Among the Prime Ministers who have come from the National Coalition Party are Mr P.E. Svinhufvud, Mr Edvin Linkomies, Mr J.K. Paasikivi and Mr Harri Holkeri.
If you had to describe this party with 5 words…
Knowledge, know-how, humanity and responsibility.
What are the positive and negative aspects of being a politician?
As politician one can contribute to the development of society and by exploiting networks one is able to have large influence over things. Negative aspect is that you are round the clock in the public eye. It is very difficult to have privacy and private life. And as a woman and a mother and a wife I have to say that sometimes it is very difficult to balance with domesticity and working life and run to time.
Do you consider it as a profession or is it more than that?
Unquestionably it is much more than that. It enriches your life!
When you became Minister of Culture, did you have the feeling that it was the achievement of something?
I think that it was achievement. It is because I think that I am able to make the most of myself. I mean, you are able to use your knowledge and know-how, pick your brains and you can pull strings. After all minister is a man of substance.
If you had the possibility to totally change your profession. What would you choose?
I would be an enterpriser, self-employed person.
Why do you think that in Europe people become less and less interested in politics?
Yes. I think the reason for this is that politics is too much as power game. The real issues at grass roots, the ordinary matters in everyday life are buried or trampled underfoot by power struggle. Holding or building court is more important to some politicians.
How do you explain the results of Mister Tony Halme during the last Parliamentary elections? Do you think that he was elected for his ideas or for other reasons?
As far as I can see, it is not difficult to be populist.
What are your professional or personal projects for the future?
I was re-elected in the general elections into the Finnish Parliament and I was elected as a chairperson for one of the special committees, the Committee for Education and Culture. I was chairperson for that committee also earlier in 1999 – 2002. So I cannot say that I turn over a new leaf. Life goes on and that makes life worth living.
One of my personal projects is that, well and truly, upcoming summer I am once again going to Italy with my husband.

New Bantams deal for Daley
Bradford City have secured the future of winger Omar Daley on a new contract until 2011.
Last Updated: 21/01/08 12:16pm
Bradford City have secured the future of winger Omar Daley on a new contract until 2011.
The Jamaica international has proved to be a big hit at Valley Parade since joining the Bantams 12 months ago.
He has featured in every League Two game this season and has been attracting interest from clubs higher up the ladder.
But, subject to a work permit, Daley has agreed to extend his time with Bradford, much to the delight of manager Stuart McCall.
"We know what a threat Omar can be, so we're delighted to get him tied down," McCall told the Telegraph & Argus.
"He is enjoying his football here and we didn't want to lose him.
"There were people enquiring about Omar which is why we're so pleased to get this sorted.
"For us to tie him to a contract like this shows our commitment, as well as his to the football club."

Concentrating on South Seattle Community College concentrations, for example, may give you additional focus in the admissions selection process. Check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, course registration deadlines, and college degree program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for South Seattle Community College.
As the admission's office must sift through many college application forms, your goal is to stand out in a good way. If you already have top grades and high SAT or ACT scores, you can still improve your application, given other factors such as talent in sports, the quality of your essay topic, and extracurricular activities. The admissions essay is gaining weight at selective colleges, but please be aware that on average, a typical college application only receives 25 minutes of reading time. Therefore, keep your application brief, and stick to the point when answering questions.
Admissions officers seek to learn how a given applicant thinks, what kind of person they are, and their level of intellectual promise. Many colleges are paying greater attention to a student's grades not only in core courses, but in AP classes and in honors courses as well. In fact, an ideal academic record is one of progressively better grades, in classes of increasing difficulty. It is optimal to try taking the hardest courses that are offered, and that the worst thing you can do in terms of getting into college is to drop a hard course just because you fear getting a low grade. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Angelina College ACT test dates for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Newcastle troubadour Jake Houlsby has announced the release of his new single 'Carousel' for April 15th. Produced by the influential Mick Ross (Ajimal, Bridie Jackson and the Arbour), the carefully crafted 'Carousel' showcases Houlsby's refined approach to the genre of folk. He uses traditional narratives similar to his decade spanning influences including Joni Mitchell and Sufjan Stevens. The track's B-side 'Sabinal' sees Jake plumb darker depths of his song writing abilities with self-production contrasting the warmth of 'Carousel'.
The anticipated track is the first new release since Houlsby's critically acclaimed debut EP 'Yannina'. The considered collection won support from influential publishers and radio stations including BBC 6Music's Lauren Laverne, Crack In The Road and the 405. Jake successfully lived up to the promised potential he demonstrated after winning the distinguished Alan Hull Songwriting Award.

Suppose you rent out a hall to hold a party. You're entitled to bar admission to anyone you haven't invited. After all, it's on your dime, right? Whether we in the media like it or not, politicians' campaigns and political parties are well within their rights to do the same.
On Wednesday of this week, I headed over to the Monona Terrace, where Senator Ron Johnson was speaking on behalf of the Mitt Romney campaign. The event was not heavily covered: there was a TV crew, a second TV videographer unaccompanied by a reporter, myself, and Dylan Brogan of WTDY.
As you may have heard by now, Brogan was barred from covering the event by Ben Sparks, Wisconsin Communications Director for the Romney campaign.
Sparks was displeased with an earlier protest staged in Janesville by WTDY talk host John "Sly" Sylvester, and with Brogan's subsequent on-air analysis of the imbroglio.
AUDIO: Sparks, Brogan (:60)
I wasn't in Janesville that day, but I was at a GOP campaign event in Madison on Tuesday, where Sly also protested.
Sparks' decision to exclude Brogan from the Johnson event has been compared to a similar decision by Graeme Zielinski, the spokesman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin who barred a blogger with conservative website Wisconsin Reporter from entering DPW's convention in Appleton back in June.
I'm by no means comparing Wisconsin Reporter, a clearly partisan operation, with Brogan or the news staff at WTDY. But the fact is that neither Monona Terrace nor Appleton's Paper Valley Convention Center are public spaces in the same way as the grounds of a state Capitol. (Check out what happened at a Romney event in Des Moines last month.) Like it or not, organizations paying for the use of space can prohibit anyone, whether they've got press credentials or not. That doesn't make it right, but if you don't like it, well tough.
And lastly, I'm just going to observe that the actions by Zielinski and Sparks were a bit predictable, a bit theatrical, and carry almost no down side. Here's the deal: neither 'Sly' Sylvester nor Wisconsin Reporter could've hoped for a better outcome. Brogan's ouster set the table for Sly's show the following day, and Zielinski's decision might have rekindled – however momentarily – flagging interest in Wisconsin Reporter's product.
And in the kabuki theatre which passes for much political reporting, party operatives giving the boot to political media (remember, we're widely disliked) will only get them a thumbs-up from their own partisans while infuriating their opponents, and in today's political environment, you can't ask for a better result.

Hi, all --
NYC 'hound here and I've been perusing your board for a bit now. Let me first say I have new-found sympathy for all of you who bemoan the fact of so many states sharing one board. Boy does it make searching difficult! I would guess it's even a pain for regular users. So when the Powers That Be at Chow start talking new boards, you have my vote. :)
On to the questions ... A quick trip to Minneapolis and St. Paul has come together for DH and me. We've got some things pretty well planned (I've been using these two threads as guides: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/610897 and http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/624355 which have been great). We are also doing a 1-day side spin over to WI for a "cheese tour" using our handy dandy Wisconsin Cheese Map -- thank you, MplsMary.
But we have 3 questions:
1) is there anything noteworthy to eat at the Metrodome? I read on one thread that more ice cream is sold there than any other stadium. Is there a local favorite inside the stadium? If there's nothing of note re: food inside, is there somewhere right outside that would be good -- local/funky/fan-fun/whatever?
2) on many threads here I've read about the Mill City Farmers Market. The NY TImes recently had a blurb about the St. Paul Farmers Market -- as one of the oldest continually operated in the country and one of the largest. Both seem to be on Saturdays. Since we will have limited time before our flight out on Saturday afternoon, would you recommend one over the other? Which would have more things that we may not see here on the east coast/NYC? We prefer mostly food (produce, cheese, dairy, even prepared foods) over arts/crafts or tchochkes.
3) mentioned on several threads were Muddy Pig, Happy Gnome, Blue Door, and Old Town Tavern (sorry if I've gotten any names wrong). DH is very into local craft brews, cask conditioned ales, etc. Which of these -- or any others? -- would you recommend?
Thanks for any help you can provide. Oh, and as NYers we are used to walking everywhere or using public transit and we'll have a rental, so whatever you recommend should work for us.

The US automaker Chyrsler and Japan's Nissan are discussing a technology partnership to develop new vehicles, the Detroit News reports, citing sources close to the situation.
They said the discussion began after DaimlerChrysler sold a majority stake in Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management in August.
DaimlerChrysler maintained a 19.9 per cent interest.
Nissan was interested in Chrysler's full-size truck know-how, while Chrysler was interested in Nissan's experience with small cars, the News reported.
Chrysler is already cooperating with Volkswagen North America on a minivan, and Nissan collaborates with Suzuki Motor Corp and Mitsubishi Motors Corp on minicars, the newspaper noted.

The Rivers State Police Command said on Monday that it had charged to court 11 out of the 13 persons, who were allegedly involved in the killings of four students of the University of Port Harcourt.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Ndabawa, made this known on Tuesday when the Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission, Prof. Ben Angwe, visited the command in Port Harcourt.
Ndabawa, who was represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr. Thomas Etomi, explained that the two remaining suspects, who had not been charged to court, would assist the police in their ongoing investigation.
He described the killings of the students by a mob as barbaric, maintaining that there was no justification for such action.
Ndabawa said that such display of wickedness would not be allowed to repeat itself, even as he promised to keep the NHRC abreast of the developments in the course of police investigation.
Earlier, Angwe told the state police commissioner that they were in the state to get information on the murder of the four students and added that the NHRC would visit the community where the incident took place.
Promising to visit and commiserate with parents of the deceased, Angwe said that the commission would stand by them to ensure that justice was done in the matter.
Angwe said that the NHRC had been getting calls from the international community on the killings of the undergraduates, even as he urged the students to be calm and not take laws into their hands.

We had another interesting question in our "blogger brain trust" round up this week, and I thought i'd share it :) If you remember, the last one i participated in was regarding the Bill of Rights for Credit Card Holders – i got pretty fired up with that one!
Today's question is pretty cool cuz you ALWAYS here people talking about "having to" put things on their credit cards, which strikes me differently depending on my mood. The logical side says WTF? NEVER do that! While the "that's life" side says…well….that's life! Either way, it's def. interesting.
The Question:
"What goes through your mind when people say that they HAD to use their credit card to get by? Is using a credit card when you can't afford to pay a smart or necessary thing to do?"
My Answer:
I think "Wow, they must have REALLY been in a sucky situation!" I'm more of a positive thinker, so i tend to give people the benefit of the doubt from the get-go. I bet most of the time the people confuse NEEDS with WANTS, but that usually pops in my mind later if i'm giving it more thought ;)
There is nothing wrong with putting NEEDS on your credit card to get by – this is life, and it's not always perfect. If you need food or shelter, and have absolutely no money in the bank, then you're pretty much out of luck.
It also depends on the timeframe we're talking about here. If we're talking about a few years here, then obviously there are some other ways to get your hands on money – loans, friends, etc. But i see no problem w/ loading up the card for a few months and then working to pay it off as quickly as possible.
I personally put everything i can on my credit card to manage my budget – gives me 30 free days, ya know? I pay it off in full each month, but worst case scenario you rack up a little interest when needed. That's what it all comes down to really – the needs vs wants.
You can check out the other bloggers' responses over at GetOutofDebt.org where they're complied each week – we all have our unique voices :)
Bonus tip: Find a good "balance transfer" offer to help pay off debt faster!
If you've been making payment after payment (on time) and still haven't been able to get your debt under control, snatching up a good balance transfer credit card offer may be the ticket to try. That's where in order to gain your business - credit card companies will let you transfer your existing debt to a new card and let you pay ZERO PERCENT interest on it. Saving you tons every month!
What's the catch? Usually balance transfer cards charge a fee (around 3% of your debt balance) to let you transfer your balance to their 0% interest offer. But we've found a great credit card that will let you do a balance transfer absolutely free. Click here to learn more and see if you qualify!
PS: If you don't trust yourself with another credit card, ignore this! This strategy is to help you get out of debt quicker, not risk adding more to it.

Is your shower a graveyard for bottles and potions that promised you the thickest, shiniest, moistest frizz-free hair that would put a Disney Princess to shame? I'll admit mine was. On Saturdays, the entire bathroom counter would be full with all the bottles that I had to yard out of the tub so I could clean it.
I decided to simplify.
Here are the four hair hacks I used to get great hair at a fraction of the price and a an even smaller fraction of the space.
- Deep conditioning: let's face it, most of us buy endless numbers of deep conditioning masks and treatments (helpfully suggested by our concerned hairdressers.) We maybe use them once . . . Then gradually they are relegated to the back of the cupboard because really, who has time? So we splurge on the deep-conditioning treatment at the salon and regret our lack of organization.If you work out at home, I have an amazing solution for you: Friday mornings I saturate my hair in my deep-conditioner, throw on a shower cap, and then do a standing workout so that your head doesn't mess up your exercise mat. (Here is one you'll feel the next day!) The heat from my exercise opens the pores of my hair and I get a hot oil treatment without wasting even a minute! I'm all set for the weekend with my glossy, shiny hair.
If you have deep conditioning treatments already, use them. But if not, mayonnaise is a miracle for getting shiny, moist hair. Mix it with avocado if you have any hanging around for extra hair nourishment. Be sure to give it a good rinse or you'll smell like a hamburgerburger . . .
- Clarifying: As we age, our hair tends to lose its gloss and as we pile on more and more product to try to restore healthy shine and bounce, hair can get weighted down and duller and duller. You could buy an expensive clarifiying shampoo, or go for a clarifying treatment at your salon, or . . . You could skip the conditioner and instead make a rinse of 1 part distilled water to 1 part apple cider vinegar. Mix it in a cup and pour it over your head. It will strip away build-up and leave your hair shiny and baby-soft.
- Glossing: I have tried all manner of glossing products, from the cheapest drug store brand to the most expensive salon brand. You know what? There are two secrets to glossy hair, and they are:
a. Get enough B-vitamins, especially biotin
b. Finish your shower with a blast of cold water to seal your hair's pores so it naturally reflects light better. Bonus: this will make your skin glow and if you can stay under more than a minute, it will also rev your metabolism!
- Thickening: The secret to thick hair? A healthy scalp. A lot of shampoos can dry out or irritate our scalps, making hair limp and lank. Like tip #4, there are two ways to ensure a healthy scalp:a. #Itstartsinside – make sure you are getting enough protein and foods that are rich in b-vitamins such as salmon, egg yolks, and almonds.
b. Try switching your every day shampoo for baking soda. Baking soda? Yup. This kitchen staple is a gentle but powerful natural cleanser. The same way it cleans up your casserole dishes without scratching is the way it will clean your hair and scalp without doing any damage.
To use, mix one part baking soda with three parts water. Start at the roots and work through to the ends of your hair. Remember to use the pads of your fingers, not your finger nails, when you shampoo – nails are too harsh for the sensitive skin of your scalp. Let sit 1-3 minutes, then follow with tip #2 – the cider vinegar rinse.
This change will take a few shampoos to get right, so I'd recommend starting on a weekend or a day when you're working from home, in case you get too little or too much for your hair. You'll be amazed at the change.
There you have it – four (almost) free hair hacks the pros don't want you to know! Do you have any tips of your own? Have you tried any of the tips above? Let us know in the comments below!

HR 45 - Federal Registration of Firearms
And here we go... apparently this has been introduced as a bill to get people who own magazine-fed firearms to obtain a federal license. I have not yet read the full text (linked above as http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h45ih.txt.pdf), but from the NRA-ILA statement(s), it appears to be another step in gun registration. Oh bother...
