There are 15 workpackages within EuroCoord summarised below.
Click on the diagram to find out more.
Lead beneficiary: MRC
The Management WP will ensure optimal scientific and infrastructure synergy over the day-to-day operations and facilitate cross-network communication. The long-term goal is to continue to guide and coordinate scientific methodologies that have previously been so successful in Europe and to ensure that new competitive science areas are encouraged and supported.
MRC will be leading this effort from the Clinical Trials Unit in London, in close collaboration with UCL (European Research and Development Office) which will provide specific expertise on contractual, financial, and administrative matters as part of the project management of the network.
Back to the top
Lead beneficiary: PENTA
The main objectives of this WP are to improve research skills including statistical techniques to allow researchers to undertake observational research of the highest calibre, and to provide basic and updated laboratory and clinical training to aid the management of HIV-infected patients. This will be achieved through a variety of ways including: online resources, residential courses, PhD, and short term staff exchanges.
A further key task of this WP is the organisation of the annual International Workshop on HIV Observational Databases (IWHOD). The objective of this highly successful workshop is to bring together researchers from both developed and developing countries working on cohorts of patients with HIV, to present in an informal, closed-meeting format new research and allow open discussions on common issues of cohort methodology, techniques and statistics. Read more about IWHOD.
This work will build on the successes of ACTIVATE.
The WP2 working group is made up of representatives from the 4 founding networks and include members with experience of coordinating EU-funded training programmes.
The leader of the group will rotate between the WP network representatives every 15 months to fully utilise the expertise within the whole EuroCoord network.
Lead beneficiary: UCL
The Scientific Oversight WP will serve to maintain overall coherence of EuroCoord scientific activities and will lead the overall advancement of the scientific research agenda. The Scientific Oversight WP Group (SOG) will be responsible for a centralised review of the ongoing research in each key area as well as each founding network.
With the help of specialist subgroups in specific defined areas of importance (statistical methodology, hepatitis, pharmacokinetics, and virology), the SOG will oversee progress, identify potential overlap and suggest areas of collaboration. The members of the SOG and four specialist subgroups represent a range of high-level scientific expertise.
The Scientific Coordinator will rotate between the WP network representatives every 15 months to fully utilise the expertise within the whole EuroCoord network.
Lead beneficiary: UZH
The objective of the Data Management WP is to ensure harmonisation of data variables captured by the networks with the aim of ensuring that cross-network data mergers of specified variables can readily occur.
Additionally, the WP will coordinate cross-network data mergers for scientific projects where two or more networks have agreed to collaborate. This WP will provide an inventory (on an annual basis) of data and biological material contained within each network to the Executive Board for inclusion in the annual report.
Each network and each new science WP has its internal data manager structure represented within this WP. Cross-network communication will occur at least quarterly.
WPs 5 & 6 are PENTA-specific. The broad aims are to:

The objectives of this prospective joint activity on TB and HIV coinfection are to:
Lead beneficiary: ISCIII
This WP aims to prevent HIV infection, and improve diagnosis and prognosis of migrant populations living with HIV in Europe by providing evidence to support policy development at European level. It also aims to determine the likely country of HIV acquisition for migrant populations and identify barriers to HIV prevention, testing, and treatment.
Key outcomes and their determinants will be studied by geographical origin and sex:
with the previous HIV-related outcomes.
The broad aim of this WP is to build a stochastic computer simulation model of HIV infection and the effect of ART and to fit the model to data from European countries in order to estimate the status of HIV infected populations across Europe, in terms of diagnosis, treatment usage, resistance, pregnancy, and rates of AIDS and death.
A European HIV Estimates Working Group will be established with the following aims:

In the latest attempt to win hearts and minds in Afghanistan, the United States is considering using a new non-lethal weapon called the "Active Denial System." Basically, it's a giant microwave beam that gives the skin a sensation of being on fire. According to AOL News:
An Air Force military officer and a civilian employee at the Air Force Research Laboratory told AOL News at an industry conference here [in Tampa Bay, Florida] that the Active Denial System, which heats the top layer of skin via millimeter waves, was in Afghanistan for testing. The sources were not able to offer details on how or whether the weapon was being used in combat.
The weapon is designed to shoot an invisible beam of energy at people, creating an intense burning sensation that forces them to flee. The Air Force has called it the "goodbye effect." It has not been used before in military operations.
Military spokespeople claim that the weapon hasn't been used yet, but its development has been a long and, at times, startling process. More from AOL:
Though the Air Force says years of testing have proved its safety, in 2007 an airman acting as a test subject was severely burned. The Air Force later that year released a heavily redacted report describing the accident, which required the airman to be airlifted to a burn center. A copy of the full report later provided to Wired.com revealed that the lack of proper operator training and missing safety equipment contributed to the accident.
Perhaps with a great new non-lethal alternative like this, the military won't have to worry so much about collateral damage and civilian casualties. Sure, a couple women or children may be the victim of excruciating pain or psychological trauma, but if it means being able to fry a couple extra terrorists without having to worry about pesky things like distinguishing terrorists from civilians, its just another step towards an Afghanistan free from terror, right?

94% Zinfandel and 6% Petite Sirah from a vineyard at 2,100 feet in elevation in Lake County's Red Hills, this bold, spicy Zin was fermented in stainless steel and aged for fifteen months in a combination of 40% new French (70%) and Hungarian (30%) oak barrels. From the winery: "Our 2010 Zinfandel showcases bright raspberry, black cherry and dark plum aromas complemented by intriguing dusty earth, black pepper and milk chocolate scents. On the rich and lively palate, it delivers pure, deeply concentrated black raspberry, dark cherry and blackberry flavors streaked with mineral and briary spice tones. Beautifully structured with sturdy, but supple tannins, fresh acidity and a long, rich, chocolate-y finish, this mountain Zinfandel wine is delightful to drink now, but will surely repay another 3-5 years of cellaring."

My workstation for tonight…
One of the days at work when I'm not actually working.
I made a personal card for him.
Stolen time to sketch during office hours. (just less than 5mins ok??). I don't think I'm abiding by the Christmas Party theme.
A year ago… When I still used to have time to be on leave just to be with a cup of hot chocolate, my set of pens, planner-diary and myself.

Yay I blogged again! This is the kind of blog that sends some signal :) A really positive post I guess,
Hours today passed by lame. Slept as soon as I got home at 6AM. Got out of bed at around 6PM. Had family dinner out 'cos we're complete today. Got bored after dinner and so I took out my sketchpad and lazily sketched and rendered. I feel the need to attend workshops.
//Sketching. You actually have control. Stroke that pencil, align your fingers, move your hand. Freely you can do it. You will come to a point that you need to render, add color, change shade, mix and match and so on. It's all up to you. But sometimes, it doesn't turn out right. It can disappoint you. It might even get in your nerves. Sometimes you think it's better to just quit. Sometimes you regret that you even colored it. And at times you think of just tearing the page out and starting out from a clean slate. Or you can move on. You try to fix the color. You can blend, lighten, darken. You can add elements. Until you think it's getting good, looking better. Whatever you choose just as long you get hold of the finish product. A pleasing sketch in front of your eyes. You can just smile on it and think of how you got through — no matter how long it took. Just like decisions. Just like life.
…still is…
Sometimes you just need a hardcopy of what you're feeling…

It's said that a majority of Muslims have been hijacked by a tiny percentage of Islamic extremists. But it's also true that many Muslims consider the incidents of September 11, 2001, to have been staged by the Bush administration, the CIA, Jews, etc. The question arises as to why a majority of Muslims would assume that nothing bad could be delivered by Muslims? And why have many Muslims related all bad things to the United States, other western countries and Israel? Majority Muslims in the West should open their eyes and minds and get beyond the conspiracy theories.
"Indignados" (the indignants) occupy city squares in Spain on a permanent basis, and now the Wall Street protests have taken root and will only grow in size and intensity. These protests, while poorly organized and rag-tag, will become the migraine of politics, not fatal but nagging and potentially dangerous.

Is it possible to see Ranking data for longer than one week at a time?
The weekly ranking data is great for short-term analysis, but it would be great to be able to see ranking data in aggregate across an entire month, or 3-month time span. Being able to track ranking fluctuations over that amount of time makes it easier to spot trends and mark changes to website plans and how they worked over time. It also makes it easier to spot visitor trends based on rankings with Google Analytics numbers for keywords that don't get a lot of traffic on a weekly basis.
Anyways, I can't seem to find any way to see ranking numbers over a larger timespan other than exporting each weekly ranking report and doing it manually. Is there a better way that I just haven't seen? Does anyone have a better solution that I'm just too stupid to think of? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

VIDEO Fire at R.K. Freedman & Son in Green Island destroys historic building
GREEN ISLAND — Firefighters braved frigid temperatures as they battled a fully involved fire at the R.K. Freedman & Son's office building on Tibbits Avenue Thursday.
The fire broke out just after 5 p.m. on the third floor, and Green Island Fire Chief Bob Bourgeois said nobody was inside the three story building at the time and they are doing what they can to ensure the safety of the firefighters at the scene. As of Thursday evening there were possible threats of a building collapse or explosions at the longtime scrap yard.
"We're in defensive mode right now, we're not putting anybody in the building," said Bourgeois at the scene. "We're just going to pour as much water on there as we can and make sure everybody stays safe."
Fire engines, from Green Island, Cohoes, Watervliet, Troy and the Watervliet Arsenal, surrounded the building, dumping water on the roof and through the third floor windows creating smoke visible from Troy. Within 20 minutes the fire rapidly spread to the second and first floors, engulfing the building in flames. Power was shut off to adjacent power lines that were hit with falling tiles of the building's slate roof.
Mike Maxwell, a manager at the office building, said employees had just left for the day and were locking up the doors when they saw smoke and called 911.
"We had literally all just walked out," said Maxwell. Tony Dawson, owner of R.K. Freedman & Sons, said the building was sold at the end of December to Camden Iron & Metal. He said the third floor of the building is vacant, but houses the furnace and HVAC utilities for the structure.
"It's devastating," said Dawson, as he watched the fire, gathered with the building's current employees. "Even though we sold the building, there are a lot of personal attachments and a lot of history here. It's an emotional day."
Tibbits Avenue was closed off as crowds gathered just beyond the police tape to watch the fire. An adjacent building did not catch fire, but wood and other items stored in the vicinity of the structure ignited, creating a smaller fire on the ground. Continued...
R.K. Freedman & Sons operated out of the building for more than 40 years before it was sold in December. The family has been in business for more than 100 years.
Dawson said the building itself was built in the 1800s and was part of the CP railroad. The building just experienced a fire in September of 2010, caused by an electrical glitch.
Bourgeois said there was no immediate indication of how long the fire could last.

Posted by admin with 1 Comment
The next "Step Up" film is all about flash mobs.
During the American Film Market this week, Summit Entertainment released the first poster and official synopsis for "Step Up 4" this week.
The film stars Kathryn McCormick ("So You Think You Can Dance," "Fame") and Ryan Guzman.

The crew, called the MOB, strives to win a contest for a major sponsorship opportunity, but soon Emily's father threatens to develop the MOB's historic neighborhood and displace thousands of people. Emily must band together with Sean and the MOB to turn their performance mobs into protest mobs, and risk losing their dreams to fight for a greater cause.The film is directed by Scott Speer ("The LXD: The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers"). The screenplay is penned by Jenny Mayer.
"Step Up 4" will be in theaters in both 2D and 3D on July 27 next year.

exhibition description:
"The FluxBox, which was on view at the Flux Factory in Queens from March 25 to April 29, triggered a greater feeling of suspense than your everyday automata. Not because it was a room-sized version of something that usually fits in your hand, but because the only visible part of the box from the entrance was the crank, and the crank was wired to a kosher pickle." - Bethany Ryker, The Brooklyn Rail

Fortunately, most mothers enjoy being with their family, and so the rewards are far greater than the amount of stress. Nevertheless, for a mother to be effective in raising her children, she should know when to call a halt to take c are of her personal needs. She needs to let her family know that she is more than a mother, and needs "me time."
Of course, as a mother, there are ways to de-stress even if your kids are milling around you. Here's how:
1. Keep a schedule
This isn't just for your benefit so you can schedule your daily activities, but also because children need structure in their lives, and if they are young, it prepares them for school. As a mother, the less you need to worry about what to do next, then the less stressed you are.
2. Time out time for mums
The urge to spank, shout or scream comes when you are too stressed and tired. To avoid these kinds of situation, recognize the signs and leave the room. Make sure your children will be safe before you take your "time-out." Just a few minutes will make a huge difference in your mood.
3. Eat Properly
An unhealthy diet will also lower your anxiety trigger point, so try to maintain a good healthy diet. Avoid food that will make you feel sluggish like salty, fatty foods. If you are eating on the go, then you are also probably gaining or losing weight the wrong way. Take the time to feed yourself and your family properly. It will help you keep alert, energized, and less inclined to be sickly.
4. Bond with other mothers
There is nothing quite like exchanging notes with other mothers. You get valuable tips and inside information on baby and child products, schools, teachers, and extra curricular activities. If you're surrounded by kids all day it's nice to have some time to chat with other adults. Even if the whole conversation is about the kids, you'll feel.
5. Quality Time with Yourself
An on-the-go mother can be stressful for the children and husband. You could be teaching them the wrong things by constantly running around. If you were a child, would you want a hyper-active mum? Take some time off to enjoy being a woman, and teach your kids that it's okay to treat yourself once in a while to some nice things. Take yourself in for a massage or book that facial that you've been wanted to get for so long. After all, you deserve it.

Alexandria Democrats Grab All of City Hall
Mayor Bill Euille earns re-election to a fourth term, where he will be joined by six Democrats in council chambers.
Alexandria's Democrats will once again control City Hall.
Incumbent Democrat Bill Euille was re-elected to a fourth term as mayor early Wednesday morning when the final numbers rolled in, while the party's slate of council candidates claimed all six seats.
Euille topped independent challenger Andrew Macdonald by almost 20 points, taking 59.53 percent of the vote.
First-time candidate Allison Silberberg was the leading vote getter in the council field, earning 12.30 percent of the vote and the title of vice mayor.
Silberberg was followed by incumbent Del Pepper (11.77 percent), first-time candidate John Taylor Chapman (11.28 percent), former council members Justin Wilson (10.55 percent) and Tim Lovain (10.52 percent) and incumbent Paul Smedberg (10.04 percent).
The election marked a return to one-party rule in the city, which last elected a full slate of Democrats in the May 2006 municipal elections.
Tuesday marked the first time local elections shared the ballot with national races, and Alexandria's Democratic candidates benefitted from the support of voters who went to the polls to help President Obama reclaim Virginia and the White House, re-elect U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (D-8th) and to help former Democratic governor Tim Kaine defeat Republican George Allen in the state's U.S. Senate race.
A strong sample ballot effort from the Alexandria Democratic Committee certainly helped push its candidates over the top.
ADC Chair Dak Hardwick praised the slate of council candidates for "doing the hard work" to earn the most votes in a 12-candidate field.
"The people who went to the polls [on Tuesday] voted for candidates committed to moving this city forward and have talked to more voters over a longer period of time than we can remember," Hardwick said at the Alexandria Democratic Committee's watch party at the Alley Cat Restaurant and Lounge in the West End. "We've been talking to voters since January."
Incumbent Alicia Hughes, running for the first time as a Republican after being elected as an independent in 2009, finished seventh with 8.54 percent of the vote. She finished 4,466 votes behind Smedberg for the final seat.
Hughes was followed by incumbent Republican Frank Fannon (8.52 percent) and Republican Bob Wood (7.94 percent).
Fannon spent $74,717 on his campaign according to the Virginia Public Access Project, the most of any council candidate and more than Euille and Macdonald.
Independent Glenda Davis finished with 3.50 percent of the vote, while Libertarian Robert Kraus followed with 2.64 percent. Independent Jermaine Mincey finished last in the field with 1.92 percent of the vote.
Hardwick said that just because Mayor Euille and the newly-elected council all have D's next to their names doesn't mean they have the same opinion on every issue.
"That's very typical of this party," Silberberg said. "It's a big tent."
Silberberg earned broad appeal by earning endorsements from longtime city Democrats like Patsy Ticer, while also appealing to the city's anti-waterfront redevelopment movement. Silberberg is opposed to the city's redevelopment plan.
"Each person got support in different ways," she said. "I've tried to speak from the heart on all the issues. … I'm dedicated to ensuring that Alexandria remains historical and remarkable for years to come. That's why I took that position on the waterfront."
Many Democrats said Tuesday night that the election offered proof that the vision for the city set forth by Euille and the party is in fact the right one.
"This election is further vindication of the Democratic leadership in the city and the positive diection the city is moving," current Vice Mayor Kerry Donley said.
The new city council will be sworn into office in early January.
7:09 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
It's unclear who was elected to Council the way this is written. Are Hughes and Fannon out or in?
7:27 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
They are out. The six democrats that were on the ballot won: Pepper, Lovain, Wilson, Silberberg, Chapman and Smedberg
7:32 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
It's unfortunate for all Alexandrians that we now have a mayor and 6 council members who are all of the same party. We are not going to benefit from as much meaningful discourse on important issues within the council chamber.

There is going to be quite a lot of "meaningful discourse" in City Council Chambers regarding the CONDUCT of Norfolk Southern Railroad and how it is endangering the lives of those who live near the railroad tracks.
Norfolk Southern is going to set aside $20 billion to pay "tort compensation" of $10,000 per man, woman and child within 22 US States who have been affected by their little game of "russian roulette"
...and Norfolk Southern CEO, Wick Moorman is going to place his ENTIRE NET WORTH in the "pool of money" AS WELL AS encourage all of his political friends to do so also.
Wick Moorman is going to get a phone call from the New York City Comptroller's office(Jonathan Liu) who administers the Pension Fund which invests heavily in Norfolk Southern stock ASKING WHY residents who live near railroad tracks are demanding that the SEC freeze Norfolk Southern's assets and halt trading in their stock.
Jonathan Liu is going to be compelled to sue Norfolk Southern on behalf of the Pension Fund

Great...let's build all sorts of accommodations for the explosive illegal immigrant population and tax the snot out of the home / property owners. Silberberg is all about this Equal Opportunity Housing nonsense. If you can't afford something...then I am sorry but you have to look elsewhere.

More triple density redevelopment is just around the corner, poor traffic management, and a continued lack of commitment to the West End continues. When you walk 5-10 miles and drive 35 plus miles everyday around town without blinders then and only then will you get what I mean. Good Luck to the Fire Department as you will likely become leaner and less effective with longer response times west of Quaker Ln.

And yet it West End voters checked their ballot boxes and brought us what we have now as the Democratic ticket for the local seats. Someone needs to work on waking up the West End to the threat of higher and higher density development to Alexandria.

During the debates, many of the Democrats running said they can see Government spending in Alexandria running a Billion dollars a year. Think our taxes are high now?

Well, Lee....
What is needed is something that constructively REBATES those "taxes" and Norfolk Southern Railroad is about to do JUST THAT for playing "russian roulette" with BOTH the "lives" and "physical safety" of the residents of Cameron Station, VA near the Ethanol Transloading Terminal.
This pertains to Norfolk Southern Internal Audit #2009-178 and is an extension of #2009-178 as it pertains to the contract provisions associated with hauling Untited Parcel Service cargo and perhaps cargo for FedEx and other carriers.
Norfolk Southern CEO, Wick Moorman is getting ready to offer $10,000 "tort compensation" to each man, woman, and child residing within what the local fire departments would consider the evacuation areas for chlorine gas, ethanol, anhydrous ammonia, et al... throughout the 22 US States that Norfolk Southern serves.
Lamar Allen of the US DOT- Federal Railroad Administration Drug & Alcohol Testing Division will soon be convinced to offer his resignation.
Barbara Taylor of the Norfolk Southern Medical Review Office will POSITIVELY IDENTIFY the corporate officer who provided her with the instructions regarding the United Parcel Service cargo.
$10,000 per man, woman, & child in 22 US States and also $10,000 for those required to regularly travel across RR Tracks as evidenced by the Canadian National Ethanol burning death at the RR crossing in Rockford, IL.
It would be UNAMERICAN for a household head to refuse $40,000 for a family of four

The loss of any bipartisan representation on City Council should be very disturbing to everyone in Alexandria. It is not healthy for a democracy to have only ONE party dictating the terms. Yet having been at the polls on Nov. 6, and having seen how little so many voters knew about the local candidates and about many local issues, it is no wonder the results are what they are.

This is why the Democratic party moved the elections when they last had one-party rule. Since Arlington did same years ago, when is the last time a Republican won?
Tin Idol
4:55 pm on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
Oh... I wouldn't worry too much about ONE PARTY dictating the terms... it is already being done by the corporate donors.... two politicians on the opposite ends of the political spectrum (Ralph Nader & George Wallace) both stated "there is not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrats & Republicans."
In Political Science classes, the Wallace/Nader quote is reconfigured as "the Democrat and Republican elites have more in common with each other than with the constituencies that they claim to represent"
Life is great...and it's going to get better thanks to Norfolk Southern CEO, Wick Moorman who is going to give the lucky, lucky people of Alexandria $10,000 each for his firm playing "russian roulette" with their lives.
This pertains to Norfolk Southern Internal Audit#2009-178

A lot of people voted a straight ticket. The election was a repudiation of Republican right wing extremism at the top, and it trickled down the the local level. I am actually surprised by the numbers though. Hughes got more votes than Fannon. That was surprising. Some theories as to why...Frank angered the local R committee by running his own campaign and not supportin the entire ticket, and/or African Americans stuck with Hughes in higher numbers. In any case, they both lost, and while I like Frank, I'm glad to see Alicia kicked out.
Nate McKenzie

I appreciate that many did vote a straight ticket although in this case, it may have also have been forced by individual positions on the pace of development, rather than their party affiliation. That issue is what drove my vote. Alexandria's issues certainly bear little to no resemblance to national issues so at least to this voter, D vs R is irrelevant for city council.
I think an appropriate discussion is about the pros/cons of at-large elections. Even though I support the ongoing and planned development, I have trouble believing that 6 of 6 reps with the same opinion is representative of Alexandria.
9:58 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012

To me it is exciting that more than twice as many voters participated in the election. Let's hope everyone stays interested and involved

Do you remember that DEFEATIST, GLOOMY TV cartoon character, Brainy Smurf???... the one who kept saying, "it'll never worrkkkkk"
There is a whole set of Brainy Smurf "defeatists" who say the same thing about the railroads.....to wit; "it'll neverr worrrkkkk... the railroads have all the money...
....the railroads have all the attorneys... the railroads have all the politicians & bureaucrats within the FRA in their hip pocket.... it'll never worrrkkkk"
There was a Hollywood Actor, Ed Harris who played a "Brainy Smurf"- type FBI Agent in a movie based on the John Grisham novel, "The Firm"....
...well, you folks over in Alexandria can all just imagine how embarrassed Ed Harris felt when Tom Cruise showed him a way to convict the Mafia Law Firm... Ed Harris was MORE EMBARRASSED than Oprah when Tom Cruise jumped up-and-down on her couch AND EVEN more emebarrassed than NBC-TV "Today" host, Matt Lauer when Tom Cruise pusued him through the hallways of 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
So... if the railroads have all this power then surely they would not need to threaten me with physical harm, correct?
..why threaten me WHEN THEY supposedly have all the power?

While losing philosophical diversity on the City Council is unfortunate, it's not like Fannon and Hughes' two votes ever stopped what the other five wanted to pass. How much was passed 5-2 or 4-3? My guess is a lot.
At least the eminent domain admendment at the state level passed so the City Attorney can no longer make thuggish threats to take property for redevelopment.

Tin Idol, what do Ed Harris, Tom Cruise and Oprah have to do with your local problems? I don't follow your train of thought...please explain. This could get interesting.
Tin Idol
10:47 am on Thursday, November 8, 2012
Hello Gail,
Things will INDEED get "interesting".
These are not "local problems".... they're problems that run throughout the 22 US States serviced by Norfolk Southern (these problems run "laterally")
They're also problems that run "longitudinally" from Norfolk Southern CEO, Wick Moorman right down to his salaried trainmasters and hourly-paid yardmasters... "top" to near-"bottom"
You know, Gail... The NCAA Infractions committee didn't just believe the student-athletes who came forward about USC running back, Reggie Bush.
They knew that many disgruntled student-athletes get promises made to them about "playing time" and "reps" during the recruiting process. Promises that cannot be kept because of "limited reps" and "limited amounts" of playing time.
That is why County Politics throughout the whole 50 US States reminds so many of the 19th-century villains who took knives and gored both "widows" and "orphans" in the back... unlike Europe, where a 70% turnout at the voting booth is considered a "poor turnout"... in off-year election primaries in the US, it is not uncommon for the primary turnout to be 40% of eligible voters... sometimes even less than 40%
...>>>> continued in next post
Tin Idol
12:34 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2012
... >>>> continued from prior post
So with less than 40% turnout sometimes... the "endorsement" by one's political party becomes crucial for the subsets of the electorate that DO INDEED HAVE NEAR-UNIVERSAL TURNOUT... civil servants, bureaucrats, teachers, labor unions, etc
...again...promises are made "early in the game" to EVERYONE knowing full well that somebody will "take the shaft" later on as the sifting/vetting process advances
So there, quite understandably, are feelings of "hurt" and sometimes "anger" within a University NCAA FB program AS WELL AS the county party political apparatus
...but these "wannabe football players" & "wannabee politicians" have SOMETHING IN COMMON; to wit, ...for a discreet amount of time, they have had access to the "inner workings" of an NCAA FB program or a county party political apparatus AND BOTH HAVE witnessed the 10,000 pieces of "dirt"/"corruption" that go unnoticed/unreported...
...well,MOST of those who have been made to feel "hurt" and "anger" about "unkept promises" go "quietly away"
...but SO MANY people have been lied to over the years that there are BOUND TO BE some of the "hurt" and "angry" who say to the people who lied to them and did not keep their promise... "I've got the goods and dirty deeds on you, pal.... no game of musical chairs here... he who lives in glass houses sure better not start throwing stones".
...and this is how "corruption" is "exposed"
Tin Idol
12:40 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2012
....>>> continued from prior post
The Universities & the County Political Parties then start "hunkering down" and "digging trenches"
No comments on the allegations other than an "emphatic denial" and "kill the messenger" as a "disgruntled crackpot"... like Ohio State University did with running back, Maurice Clarett, when OSU and the NCAA opposed early entry into the NFL Draft for freshmen...old Maurice started talking about the actual amount of ....cough... "workkk" being done by OSU Football Players at Dick Tressel's landscaping business(Dick Tressel was the brother of OSU Head Coach, Jim Tressel)...
...ditto with the student-athletes who reported on all of the dirty deeds done since 1993 in the USC Football program run by 1965 Heisman winner and Athletic Director, Mike Garrett regarding running back, Reggie Bush...
Of course, the NCAA was not going to take at "face value" the allegations of a student-athlete who was "disgruntled" and "angry"... the NCAA demanded "corroboration"
Maurice Clarett then refused to name the specific players on his team who took money "under the table" and Ohio State's corruption lasted another 10 years up until the Sports Illustrated article/exposee
The "disgruntled" student-athletes who were lied to at Mike Garrett's USC DID HOWEVER "blow the whistle" on the "jobs" and "sports vehicles" and "housing for relatives"
With "corroboration", the NCAA Infractions committee hit USC "hard" with "sanctions" and "probation"
Tin Idol

In Cleveland, Ohio's Cuyahoga County... North Royalton Mayor, Cathy Luks decided to oppose Pat O'Malley for the position of "county recorder"
Luks maintained that O'Malley offered her a $50,000 per year job in his office if she would drop her candidacy.Luks reported this and O'Malley was investigated
Like Norfolk Southern... O'Malley strenuously denied the charges.... well, poor old Pat O'Malley who is scheduled to be released from prison soon... was doing a bunch of things wrong...
...so they couldn't nail O'Malley for prison time on the Luks charges but just a little nosing around by the FBI got him convicted on a bunch of stuff that he could not deny.... "corroborated stuff"
"corroboration" = "prison time" for county polticians & judges
"corroboration" = "NCAA sanctions" for dirty football programs
"corroboration"... "to corroborate"
The NCAA demanded "corroboration"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer and TV News Stations demanded "corroboration"
The "disgruntled, delusional crackpot" motif advanced by the crooks to "buy time" DISINTEGRATED IMMEDIATELY in the presence of "corroboration"
Well... old Pat O'Malley was NOT GOING to go to prison quietly because he had been in Cuyahoga County Politics for years and years.
"You judges and auditors and prosecutors ARE ALL doing worse stuff than what I was doing in the County Recorders Office with a simple, corrupt "billboard deal" and "pornography" on my PC Computer
Tin Idol
1:05 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2012
Except...now it was Pat O'Malley himself who needed to provide the "corroboration"...
...now it was Pat O'Malley who became the new "disgruntled crackpot" who better provide "corroboration"
...oh...boy... They were not calling Pat O'Malley a "disgruntled crackpot" for very long.
Pat knew where "all the bodies were buried", so to speak and was able to tell the FBI exactly where to go to look for the "accountant's second sets of books"
Mayor Cathy Luks was the "disgruntled, delusional crackpot" who brought down Pat O'Malley
Pat O'Malley then HIMSELF BECAME the "disgruntled, delusional crackpot" who brought down:
1) The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor (resigned in disgrace... investigation ongoing)
2) 2 Cuyahoga County Judges
3) Umpteen Politicians and City Council Members
4) Cuyahoga County Auditor (prison for the rest of his life, basically)
5) Cuyahoga County Commissioner (prison till he is an old, old man)
6) Metropolitan Housing Director (beat all the charges except for "lying to the FBI")
So... when dealing with Norfolk Southern... we'll BEGIN TO deal with the TONS OF STUFF that can be easily "corroborated"...
...and then we'll work on "corroborating" the balance of the stuff through other means.
To give you all a "sound byte" which encapsulizes Norfolk Southern's tenuous set of circumstances....
...Norfolk Southern cannot ADMIT TO THE TRUTH and they also HAVE NO GOOD LIE to tell either.
...back here at The Patch after I have some lunch

Though this be "madness", there was "method" in it --
--- Hamlet
Hello Gail,
There is indeed a "method to this madness"
In the Tom Cruise/Gene Hackman Mafia Law Firm movie, "The Firm", the FBI Agent played by Hollywood Actor, Ed Harris wanted RICO-type "racketeering" convictions.
The attorney played by Tom Cruise had his own agenda to protect himself, his wife and his brother.
Tom Cruise gave the FBI "mail fraud" convictions due to the use of postage stamps to pay for the delivery of billable hours that were intentionally-inflated... 5 years + $250,000 fine for each of the thousands of postage stamps used.
No, it was not the RICO that the FBI wanted
No, "mail fraud" due to "postage stamp misuse" was not "glamorous"
Tom Cruise admitted as much but added the kicker... "No, the criminal conviction is NOT glamorous but it has teeth"... it put all of the crooked attorneys away for life AND MORE IMPORTANTLY it was "easily corroborated"
"corroboration"... "to corroborate"
Tin Idol
6:57 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2012
The corrupt Memphis Law Firm COULD NOT ADMIT TO THE TRUTH and they had NO GOOD LIE to tell either
Norfolk Southern CANNOT ADMIT THE TRUTH and Norfolk Southern has NO GOOD LIE to tell either.
The FBI failed for YEARS & YEARS with the attempt at gaining RICO-type "racketeering" convictions
The communities like Cameron Station within Alexandria and other communities throughout the 50 US States serviced by Union Pacific, CSX Railway, BNSF Railway & Norfolk Southern have all fought the railroads by "attempting to regulate" their conduct
REGULATION by the communities = RICO "racketeering" by the FBI
In Alexandria's particular failed attempt at REGULATION took a two-prong approach...both of which failed "miserably" and which any competent attorney KNEW would fail miserably ...and which the Alexandria City Council HAD BEEN TOLD would fail miserably but they did it anyway because they had to provide the illusion of "action"
The attack against the Ethanol Transloading Terminal was based on regulating the flow of truck traffic on Alexandria roads/highways that accessed the terminal AND ALSO that RSI Logistics was not covered by the REGULATION of Interstate Commerce granted to the US Congress by the US Constitution.
1) RSI Logistics was an "agent" of Norfolk Southern therefore OF COURSE their presence in terminal operation falls under the aegis of the US Constitution's power granted to Congress
Tin Idol
7:24 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2012
2) The power to regulate Interstate Commerce would be rendered worthless if communities were able to frustrate such efforts to effectively deny access.
..."REGULATION" was bound to be unsuccessful for all the communities in the 50 US States as well as Alexandria JUST LIKE the Hollywood Actor FBI Agent played by Ed Harris was BOUND TO FAIL by perpetually seeking RICO-type "racketeering" convictions
REGULATION fails = RICO fails
So what then is the Tom Cruise "postage stamp" that caused the impenetrable "walls of Jericho" to come crashing down "immediately" & with such "devastating" effect.
If the railroads or the US Department of Transportation- Federal Railroad Administration first provide the PREDICATE of either "misconduct" or "lack of efficacy" then the communities can launch an attack BASED UPON constitutionally-recognized powers of their own...
...they can act ADMINISTRATIVELY against the rail carriers VIA an action against the US DOT-FRA.
Do you see what occurred here?
It's important that you do indeed "cognitively snap" to what was just pointed out to you.
To defeat the CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION of the REGULATION of Interstate Commerce being granted to the US Congress YOU MUST OPPOSE IT with either a different CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION or in the alternative a CONSTITUTIONALLY-RECOGNIZED POWER.
Tin Idol
7:39 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2012
The ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION is such a CONSTITUTIONALLY-RECOGNIZED POWER
That right there is Alexandria's Tom Cruise "postage stamp".
So what then DISTINGUISHES an "ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION" from a "REGULATION"?
REGULATIONS are "proactive"... REGULATIONS are "preemptive"...
ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS are "predicate based".... ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS are also "exigency based"
A "constitutionally-recognized" power such as an "ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION" by Adam Thiel, the Police Chief, The City Manager or the City Council would FIRST BE TESTED in US District Court.
The US District Court Judge is OBLIGATED TO ASSUME that the local authorities in Alexandria acted properly and to show due deference to the employment of the "administrative action" against Norfolk Southern...
I'll be back after the Louisiana-Monroe/Arkansas State Football game is over
God bless all of the ESPN channels
God bless the Sun Belt Conference for football on Tuesdays and Thursdays

What To Expect From The General Assembly
By Frank Stasio and Dave DeWitt
Big changes are coming during this year's legislative session. Republican leaders and Gov. Pat McCrory are expected to push legislation that would significantly alter policies in education, energy, governmental regulations and health care, among others. Host Frank Stasio previews the session with WUNC Capitol Bureau Chief Jessica Jones.

That's the price it paid for winning its first state championship.
Meanwhile, Pope and Harrison may have targets on their backs, too, after both teams made it to the finals of their respective classifications.
Most of the Class AAAAA contenders are focused on upending Walton, and that includes Harrison, which lost an 8-4 decision to the Raiders in last year's state championship at the Hoyas' Cobleigh Stadium.
Pope will have different battles to fight in a Class A-AAAA that's wrought with experienced private school programs.
Walton is entering the 2012 seasons with many of its top scorers coming back. Its midfield is experienced behind seniors Alex Baker, Matt Morabito and Joe Cherof, and the Raiders are also strong on attack with junior Michael Gernatt and sophomore Alex Poole.
Walton's biggest concern this season will come in the backfield, where it will have to replace goalkeeper Michael Harper and defender Jack Chase, but the Raiders do have a few options with younger players stepping up.
When it comes down to it, Walton's season will depend greatly on how well it can come together.
"They have come in and stepped up to the plate, and it will be interesting to see how well we fare," Walton coach Matt Miller said. "If our players bring their 'A' game, we will be tough to play. If we don't bring our 'A' game, anyone can beat us. If we play our game, we will be a force to be reckoned with."
Unlike Walton, Harrison may have to do some more growing up than usual with many key players — including defender Chris Daley, attacker Will Green, midfielder Justin Evans and goalkeeper Reid Bass — having graduated.
But the Hoyas are still returning seven experienced players from last year's team. Their strength is expected to be in the scoring department, with senior attackmen Regan Farmer and Clayton Sheasby and senior midfielder Griffin Smith returning. They're also expecting help from junior midfielder Ben Huddleston and junior defenders Sam Lyons, Dakota Tatum and Austin Edenfield.
But Harrison will still have some holes to fill, with goalkeeping being one of them.
"I feel like our attack players, in Sheasby and Farmer, will give us a good chance to score a lot of goals this year," Harrison coach Lee Rider said. "We have a lot of new faces on the team, and we lost a lot of starters from last year's team, so the faster and grow up and the more confidence we build will determine how good we'll be."
Lassiter is also expecting to be in the mix once the AAAAA state tournament begins. The Trojans had a down year in 2011 after finishing with an 11-12 record and are on their third head coach in three years.
The Trojans appear young this season with a junior-laden squad, but the talent is there. Unlike their main competition, they have a returning goalkeeper in junior Ryan Smith they can build around. They also have a quick midfield unit led by senior Garrett Shank.
"Our biggest challenge of the season is ourselves," new Lassiter coach Brendan Leezer said. "We need to focus on ourselves, rise above the issues (of last season) and to just go have fun. We play amazing lacrosse when we work together and are just having fun."
Pope lost a few key components from last year's team, which lost to Lambert in the Class A-AAAA state championship, but the Greyhounds have some reliable talents coming back. Senior midfielder Holland Frost and senior defender Daniel Maples will both be back after anchoring the team last season. Pope is also returning junior Brayton Ladella at attack.
Like Walton and Harrison, Pope is in search for a new goalkeeper after graduating Marietta Daily Journal/Cobb County Player of the Year Matt Sommerfeldt, not to mention a few key position players.
"A player of Matt's caliber to replace is going to be difficult," Pope coach Carl Pfaff said. "A lot of our success will come from us putting together a staff that developed our players and getting the team to buy into the team concept. There are so many intangibles, but our kids are focused every day at practice to give ourselves a chance."
Riverwood and Westminster will present challenges to Pope in Area 2A-AAAA, but so will Kell and Sprayberry.
Kell is about to turn the corner after narrowly missing the playoffs last season. The Longhorns were the odd team out in a three-way tiebreaker with Sprayberry and Riverwood for two playoff spots.
Kell lost only two key players from last season and returned everyone else, including senior attackman Hunter Marshall, who scored 101 goals last season.
Sprayberry won't be as experienced as it was a year ago, but it does have postseason experience and a large and talented junior class that can give the Yellow Jackets a boost.

Welcome to my JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes Page for Steps for Saige, Journey for Terry, Cure T1D!
I am taking the steps to help achieve JDRF's mission: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. The money our JDRF Walk Team raises will go directly to support this life-changing research.
I have a personal connection to type 1 diabetes as my husband Terry and daughter Saige (7) both have T1D. At age 13, Terry was diagnosed with this life changing disease. While research and treatment have come a very long way in the past 25 years, JDRF is still searching for a CURE.
On September 27, 2012 our daughter Saige was also diagnosed with T1D. If you know Saige then you know that she is a very strong and determined little girl. As soon as she knew about the WALK she was ready to get her team lined up and wanted to make sure her daddy was included in her team name.
We would love for you to help us take the steps to stomp out T1D for Terry, Saige and Everyone living with T1D.
Simply click on the Join this Team button, make a donation and begin fundraising. It is simple, fast and fun! If you are unable Walk that day, any donations are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support!

Pwyll Pen Annwn is a prominent figure in Welsh mythology and literature, the lord of Dyfed, husband of Rhiannon and father of the hero Pryderi. He is the eponymous hero of Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed, the first branch of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi, and also appears briefly as a member of Arthur's court in the medieval tale Culhwch ac Olwen.
Role in Welsh mythology [edit]
Whilst hunting in Glyn Cuch, Pwyll, prince of Dyfed becomes separated from his companions and stumbles across a pack of hounds feeding on a slain stag. Pwyll drives the hounds away and sets his own hounds to feast, earning the anger of Arawn, lord of the otherworldly kingdom of Annwn. In recompense, Pwyll agrees to trade places with Arawn for a year and a day, taking on the lord's appearance and takes his place at Arawn's court. At the end of the year, Pwyll engages in single combat against Hafgan, Arawn's rival, and mortally wounds him with one blow and earns Arawn overlordship of all of Annwn. After Hafgan's death, Pwyll and Arawn meet once again, revert to their old appearance and return to their respective courts. They become lasting friends because Pwyll slept chastely with Arawn's wife for the duration of the year. As a result of Pwyll's successful ruling of Annwn, he earns the title Pwyll Pen Annwfn; "Pwyll, head of Annwn."
Some time later, Pwyll and his noblemen ascend the mound of Gorsedd Arberth and witness the arrival of Rhiannon, appearing to them as a beautiful woman dressed in gold silk brocade and riding a shining white horse. Pwyll sends his best horsemen after her, but she always remains ahead of them, though her horse never does more than amble. After three days, he finally calls out to her, and Rhiannon tells him she has come seeking him because she would rather marry him than her fiance, Gwawl ap Clud. A year after their meeting, Pwyll accidentally and foolishly promises Rhiannon to Gwawl, before managing to win her back through outwitting, bloodying and dishonouring his rival.
Under the advice of his noblemen, Pwyll and Rhiannon attempt to supply an heir to the kingdom and eventually a boy is born. However, on the night of his birth, he disappears while in the care of six of Rhiannon's ladies-in-waiting. To avoid the king's wrath, the ladies smear dog's blood onto a sleeping Rhiannon, claiming that she had committed infanticide and cannibalism through eating and "destroying" her child. Rhiannon is forced to do penance for her crime.
The child is discovered outside a stable by an ex-vassal of Pwyll's, Teyrnon, the lord of Gwent Is Coed. He and his wife claim the boy as their own and name him Gwri Wallt Euryn (English: Gwri of the Golden hair), for "all the hair on his head was as yellow as gold."[1] The child grows to adulthood at a superhuman pace and, as he matures, his likeness to Pwyll grows more obvious and, eventually, Teyrnon realises Gwri's true identity. The boy is eventually reunited with Pwyll and Rhiannon and is renamed Pryderi, meaning "loss".
The tale ends with Pwyll's death and Pryderi's ascension to the throne.

Orpheum Theater
WOW!! We are all still coming off our high from this past weekend with James Van Praagh! It was amazing!
James taught an extraordinary workshop where everyone got to experience first hand communicating with the spirit world. Not only is James one of the most accurate spiritual mediums I have ever seen, but he is a fantastic teacher. There were people who attended who had never been to anything like this before and they came away with skills they never even knew they had.

CD/LP/Track Review
Zan Gardner: Here's My Heart...
Where do all of these remarkable new singers come from? For every Kurt Elling or Nnenna Freelon who captures the imagination of listeners through major-label promotion and sheer talent, dozens of other equally inspiring singers remain undiscovered, as might have Elling and Freelon but for the good fortune of their circumstances. It seems as if every time you turn around, another singer is recording a CD that reveals a distinctive voice expressing the feelings of a personality who sees things quite differently from any other singer. Even though the personalities within the universe are as diverse as the number of people those personalities inhabit, few singers seem to be able to discard influences and be themselves.
Zan Gardner is one of those singers who can absorb various influences, catalyze them and form an even newer sound that reminds the listener of other singers but that is entirely her own. Even though Gardner sings standards, she implies a Latin influence, even on "As Time Goes By," which builds upon a reggaed percussiveness and an African-influenced vibeliterally. Vibraphonist Tony Miceli adds to the glimmering light released by the tune with the instrument's luminescence. Another of Gardner's associations seems to be a Betty Carter-ish approach to singing "How High The Moon" as she develops her own elastic phrasing that pulls apart the song like taffy into the lengthened thoughts bundling the tune's musical elements.
On this, her first album, Gardner has chosen her musicians wisely.
John Swana retains his melodic approach to the instrument as he backs Gardner sensitively and knowingly on trumpet or flugelhorn, their techniques converging in a unity of purpose. Even his solos remain within the moment, the horn's voice an extension of Gardner's vocal set-up. On "The Way You Look Tonight," Swana finally lets fly with an energetic solo, as if he were freed to shape the tune himself. Plus, pianist Dave Posmontier proves himself an accompanist who listens to the singer and expands upon her suggestions. His enlightening solos, like Swana's, stay within the attitude of each song while he explores the songs' harmonic implications.
Yet, it's Gardner's voice that represents the discovery of Here's My Heart.... Making each song her own, Gardner combines a huskiness with an understanding of the songs' meanings, such as when she's "breathing innnnnnnn and breathing ouuuuuut" on "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face." Her articulation is effective as well, the word "to" sung with a hard attack on the "t" and her "oo's" containing slight moans. Even in the swing of "Exactly Like You," Gardner attains a sultriness and understated attractiveness in her alto interpretation that draws the listener's attention. She teases when she starts "You Don't Know What Love Is" in what seems to be an impossibly low key, leaving one to wonder where she can go from there if an even lower note presents itself in the arrangement.
With an unconventional style and an ever-present knowing grace, Zan Stewart has released an album that deserves a wide audience and a high degree of attention.
Track Listing: As Time Goes By, I've Grown Accustomed To His Face, Exactly Like You, You Don't Know What Love Is, Stolen Moments, How High The Moon, Metaphoric Heartbreak, The Way You Look Tonight; Some Other Time

THE FORUM HAS BEEN UPGRADED! Please report any problems or concerns in the Forum Support area.
I was playing around and came up with d20 stats for the characters in Twilight of the Dead. Why? I dunno...
When did that one come out?
I can't recall the name of it though, but my favorite one was a 4 part series by DC. Superman, wonderwoman, the green lantern, etc... come out of retirement to battle a new wave of villany. It looked like each tile was an oil painting. Damn.....I wish I could remember the name of that one. I will have to dig it out later.
That would be Kingdom Come by Alex Ross.

Walmart is known for its supercenter expansions, but the retail giant is going small with its latest Fresno project.
The company is building a 40,000-square-foot neighborhood market at Willow and Herndon avenues. That's just two miles west of a 212,000-square-foot supercenter that is under construction near Highway 168 in Clovis.
Walmart spokeswoman Delia Garcia said the company "is always looking for opportunities to serve our customers."
The company started designing the small grocery stores in 1998 and has about 200 nationwide, according to its website.
Walmart's market concept is similar to Fresh & Easy stores, which opened across the Valley in 2010, and the new Dollar General Markets that have recently popped up in town.
"Designed for convenient grocery shopping, customers will find a full line of fresh groceries, meat and dairy products, dry goods and staples, as well as household supplies, and pharmacy services," Garcia said.
The Fresno store is expected to create about 75 jobs, Garcia said. It is scheduled to open in summer 2013.
The company is also building a market in Visalia on the corner of Demaree Street and Goshen Avenue, just north of Highway 198. That store is expected to create about 60 jobs.
Realtors group names new officers for 2013
The Fresno Association of Realtors has announced its new officers for 2013.
John Shamshoian, owner of Realty Concepts, a Fresno residential real estate company, will be the trade association's president in January. He takes over for Dan Hawkins, a broker and associate, also at Realty Concepts.
It's hard to believe this is Shamshoian's first time sitting in the hot seat. He has 34 years of real estate experience and has served two different times as a director for the association.
"I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly," Shamshoian said.
His first goal next year is to improve the relationships between real estate agents and strengthen the association.
"We're going to do various functions through the year to bring Realtors together and hopefully by doing that it's going to improve the way we communicate better."
And what does Shamshoian think the housing market will look like next year?
Mortgage interest rates are still low and while home prices have increased in the last year, they are still lower than the peak of the market in 2006, he said.
"Big times are right in front of us," Shamshoian said.
Other officers include: Liz Kuchinski, president-elect; Joan Jolly, treasurer; Bob Wiginton, chairman of the Multiple Listing Service; Ron Shapazian, chair-elect and nine directors and eight MLS committee members.

Molly Sims in the Kitchen
The beautiful Molly Sims ("hot mama" as Rachael calls her) has a gorgeous dining room table, a fabulous rustic outside table and lots of precious china and dinnerware that's been passed down through her family. There's one small problem -- she doesn't know how to cook, so nothing's ever been used! (Watch the video above for a tour of Molly's house.)
Rachael tells Molly: "It's all about the presentation. Entertaining and food is all about the five senses: You put on some good music, you've got those beautiful hurricane lamps out on the rustic table, you're halfway there. You put out some pomegranate margaritas or martinis, people are really getting into the vibe."
Rachael suggests the following simple recipes to please your guests:
