ok, so you can't build anything around them and you can basically get it to a max of 1 civilian infastructure to make it not drain your income.
Are they EVER worth it?
I have found some nice artifacts on dead astroids.
I find them very handy in entrenchment - especially as TEC - means I can build another SB - more trade - maybe a Frigate factory - had a game the other day - jumped through worm hole with constructor when the other guys was busy and got into the dead astroid nearby without him noticing - untill my 20 Kodiaks, 30 LRM and 15 carriers came out.......
Yes,yes they are.
Wait... Games are irrelevant?
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻)
In what games ( entrenchement, diplomaacy, trinity and rebellion) is the Development Mandate availible?
In all of them. Its a tier 6 TEC Civilian tech, that's always been one of their best techs.
I happen to have had a game not long ago where I was able to establish a super-trade lane going all the way around the system in a gigantic U-shape and the key was a dead asteroid (was at the lowest point of the U).... dropped a starbase there. was pretty awesome and was at least 9 ports long.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is the sole regulator and licensing authority for certain radioactive materials uses in the state under the Colorado Radiation Control Act (25-11-101 et seq. C.R.S.) and an agreement between the Governor and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The federal government is not actively involved in regulating these materials in Colorado, but does review the state's Radiation Program to ensure that it meets or exceeds NRC standards. The review process required by Colorado statute is designed to ensure protection of both public health and the environment. It is at least as stringent as the NRC process, and encompasses a wide range of regulatory, technical, scientific and socioeconomic factors. On November 18, 2009, Energy Fuels Resources Corp. submitted an application for a radioactive materials license that is required before the company can begin construction on a proposed uranium mill in Montrose County. The proposed site for the mill is approximately 12 miles west of Naturita in the Paradox Valley. The proposed mill would process up to 500 tons of ore per day, and would be the first uranium/vanadium mill built in the United States in more than 25 years. |
The state process for reviewing the Energy Fuels license application and providing appropriate public participation opportunities follows:
The Department consulted other regulatory agencies as part of the review. As described in the regulations, the Department prepared a written analysis of the project and a justification of its decision. The Department issued a Decision Document on January 5, 2011, 12 days prior to the statutory deadline of January 17, 2011. Because the application was approved, the Department also issued a preliminary license on that date. The decision document, which includes an environmental impact analysis, provides the rationale for the Department's decision and responds to public comments received throughout the technical review process. The Radiation Control Act specifies that the Department will follow the appeal process in the Colorado Administrative Procedures Act (24-4-101 et. seq. C.R.S.), which provides for appeal of the decision within 60 days of approval. |
For More Information
The application and related documents are available to the public on this web page and at public repositories located at:

The fabric feels lovely on but it's tissue thin and very sheer which made me look a bit washed out. It looks whiter and more opaque in the photos than what it actually is - its more tissue/see-through white. I got the size 2 for a roomier fit which is what I expected it to be but could've sized down for a more flattering fit around my middle. I'd probably wear it under a blazer,cardi etc.
I'm 4' 11'' and about 100 lbs. I ordered this white tee in size 1 and it fits perfectly. The material is soft and sheer so I think I wouldn't wear it only with a skinny jeans and boots, layer it with a cardigan or something. It's a bit too overpriced for a plain white tee. So if you buy this make sure that you also styled it with jeans like J Brand, my suggestion is the 10" skinny in ignite or mazzaro.
Really well fitting, flattering tee. Be forewarned, the white is wicked sheer, I had to wear a nude cami underneath. My only other negative is that the edges of the sleeves and hem are somewhat buckled. At first they looked missewn or rippled on purpose, but I took an iron to it and they straightened out. Zooming in on this picture, I see that may be intentional but I thought mine was defective! Overall, great shirt, just hope it's very durable for the price.

So far there have been no 'major' issues for people upgrading their sites from PlatformPro to the new PageLines Framework. The average time to make the switch ranges from five minutes to a few hours depending on the level of customization that was previously applied to the website. That said, there are still a few things you should be aware of when upgrading. They are…
The Good News → "Non-Destructive Upgrade" – Because we knew there would be some issues with upgrading the framework, we worked to make sure the upgrade was "non-destructive." This means that if you try and upgrade and don't like what you see, or don't have time to fix a couple issues, you can always revert to PlatformPro. Easy.
Database Untouched – Your posts, pages and content will all remain intact in the database after upgrading.
CSS Changes – In developing the framework, it's very difficult to prevent CSS changes from happening once in a while on upgrade. With PageLines there were a few changes to markup (e.g. using 'section' as opposed to 'div' elements in some cases…) This has caused a couple issues.
Solution: The minor CSS problems can be fixed easily by correcting your custom css rules to align with the new elements.
Section Control – To improve the functionality of Section Control, we had to change the way its data was stored in the DB. Therefore section control options get wiped on upgrade.
Solution: Simply set these options again and you are good to go.
Global vs. Meta Options – To give you more control over your pages, we moved many section options to the MetaPanel. This means that the global options are no longer relevant.
Solution: Simply setup meta options for customized sections across your site; you can also use the new default option handling system.
No it is not. Framework 2.0 is completely deferent product. Yes. they look similar but they are not the same. Pagelines Pro is a theme, while PageLInes Framework is a framework . As I understand it PageLines Pro is a theme build around a framework with set of given customization options. With the launching of Framework 2.0 Pagelines team is trying to partly separate the core framework from the customizable elements. Those missing customization options will be available as plugins, themes and sections. They can be found in the newly developed Store. There are two ways you can access the Store - either from www.pagelines.com > Store button (upper right), or through the Wordpress admin panel of your site - wordpress > Pagelines > Store.
there are several scenarios
- you are new customer - through the PageLines website - http://www.pagelines.com/pricing/
- you are existing customer - platform pro developer plus license - upgrade to Framework 2.0 developer is free for you - you should find the link in your account
- you are existing customer - platform pro developer ( without plus ) license - again two scenarios -
a. if you purchased Platform Pro dev. before September 15 - you should have received discount coupon with a code
b. if you purchased Platform Pro dev after September 15 - upgrade to Framework 2.0 developer is free for you - you should find the link in your account
go to http://www.pagelines.com/pricing/ push Purchase button and near the bottom of the page you will see grey brackets { ADD CODE}
they ARE supported, but they can not be purchased any more. Probably they will be available as child themes of Framework 2.0.
no can not.
there are two ways of customizing Framework with CSS rules.
a. you can download and activate the Framework 2.0 child theme from - wordpress admin panel > Pagelines > Store > Themes > Base theme
b .or you can customize you site using the Pagelines Customize plugin (recommended) - were to find it -
wordpress admin panel > Pagelines > Store > Plugins > Pagelines Customize plugin - download it and activate it. Than go to wordpress admin panel > plugins > Pagelines Customize plugin > edit - you will see the customizable php and css files.
yes. some of them are missing. If you need more detailed customization of the colors, you have to do this with the Pagelines Customize tool ( see 7., 8. ) or child theme and css rules.
go to wordpress admin panel > Pagelines > Account > enter your username ad password. refresh the page and the logo will desapear.
go to wordpress admin panel > Pagelines > Store > Integrations > download and install them
Yes! Plugins for bbPress & BuddyPress are now available in the PageLines Store

Picture #1
Taking advantage of the beautiful weather on Thursday, friends Bill Helton (left), of Loyall, and Delmar Cole, of Gate City, Va., checked the parachute lines on Helton's Buckeye motorized powerchute before taking to the air at the Tucker-Guthrie Memorial Airport at Baxter.
Picture #2
Not a plane and not a hang glider, the powerchute is considered one of the safest aircrafts in the world. Helton can be seen racing down the runway before becoming airborne.
Picture #3
Once in the air, Helton said he can stay airborne up to three hours and can climb to 10,800 feet and as low as 500 feet off the ground. Both Helton and Cole said they are retired and have taken up powerchuting as a hobby. This was Helton's third flight and Cole's fifth flight since learning the new sport.

Brownwood ISD: Incoming Freshmen to Use MacBook Air Laptops
By: Ray Tipton, BrownwoodNews.com
Updated: May 15, 2012
BISD Superintendent Reece Blincoe told school board members Monday that the district has been looking at purchasing new laptops for the incoming freshman class for the next school year.
"As y'all are aware, we have been trying and have so far been successful to update the freshmen class every year for new laptops," Blincoe said to the school board trustees. "What our goal was, as we started last year, was the machines would stay with that particular class through graduation, and at time of graduation, the students and their families would be eligible to purchase those machines at a tremendously reduced cost."
Blincoe said that thanks to some state funding, parent contributions, and some district money, the 2012-2013 freshmen will also enjoy new laptops, but a different model than in the past.
"We called in our Apple rep and we are going to what is called a MacBook Air," Blincoe said. "After thoroughly examining them, and considering smaller devices like the iPad, the 11 inch MacBook Air would suffice for us."
Blincoe said that the district worked with Apple Computers to consider different options, including iPads, but ultimately decided that the MacBook Air was the best choice to go with. He said that the main considerations in choosing the MacBook Air over iPad were the ability to administer online tests and book options.
"We are looking to order 270 MacBook Airs for next year," Blincoe said. "These computers would also have three-year parts warranty as well, which is what we have right now."
Blincoe said that the total cost for the laptops for the incoming freshmen would be $256,813.
"It has always been a dream of mine, and you know that we have said it would be a perfect world someday when the district was on the hook for about a third of this, the parents were on the hook for about a third of this, and the state would be on the hook for about a third of this," Blincoe said.
For this purchase, $160,000 would be from state instructional material allotments, $80,000 would be from parent contributions, and $16,813 would be from school funds. Blincoe said that the $80,000 parent's contribution is from $50 per year fees charged for the use of the laptop from the past few years that has not yet been spent.
"As we shut down the school year and we write those balances into one pool, we'll safely and easily be able to pay that amount and order laptops for next year," Blincoe said.
Blincoe also said that graduating seniors will have the opportunity to purchase their regular MacBook laptops after graduation.
"If you have a senior, they'll be able to purchase that laptop this year for I believe $200 was the price that we set," Blincoe said.
Blincoe said that the board will look to approve a budget amendment later in the year for the funds to purchase the new laptops.

Jazz, straight ahead to fusion.
Thu. 1/5 12p : Mark Weber will have in the studio the esteemed trumpeter Lee Katzman who was a long-standing member of the Stan Kenton Orchestra in the 50s, and worked on both coasts making records and playing with Bill Holman, Anita O'Day, Carl Fontana, Med Flory, Jimmy Rowles, Sonny Stitt, Terry Gibbs, Lennie Niehaus, Claude Thornhill, Bob Dorough, Supersax, June Christy, Shelly Manne, Onzy Matthews, Pete Jolly, etcetera, etc. &c.
Thur. 12/22 12p: Hooked up and LIVE will be Christmas tunes as delivered by local revered maestros Lewis Winn on guitar and Michael Olivola on double bass. Host Mark Weber.
Thurs. 9/8 at noon: Today we feature the music of Gildo Mahones whose crystalline perfectly balanced piano backed everyone from Sonny Stitt, Lorez Alexandria, Booker Ervin, James Moody, O.C.Smith, Benny Carter, Pony Poindexter, Jimmy Witherspoon, King Pleasure, and on and on. Mostly notably you know him from his years (1959-1964) he worked with Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross.
Thurs. 9/1 at noon: Today we will be featuring the music of master jazz accordion maestro Frank Marocco, and talk with him Live via telephone from his home in Los Angeles.
Host Mark Weber
More about Frank Marocco
Thurs. 8/18 at noon: Today we will be talking with the king of guitarists via long-distance telephone in upper New Jersey - Bucky Pizzarelli!
Thurs. 7/21 at noon: We'll be talking with the maestro via telephone on this day and playing as much of his music as we can squeeze into a 90-minute slot.
Bill Holman is a legend in Los Angeles. The general consensus is that he is the Bela Bartok of big band jazz arranging. That is, his ideas are not hampered by a tepid approach to dissonance and counterpoint and other formulaic stick-within-the-lines rules & regulations. His charts pop with the indispensable and capacious element endemic to the best bebop, that thing that makes bebop BEBOP: joie de vivre -- Joy of life!
Thurs. 7/14 at noon: Today we will be talking Live via telephone with possibly the pre-imminent scholar on jazz: Dan Morgenstern. Author of several books and thousands of jazz record liner notes and has been on the scene in the greatest jazz city in the world - New York City - throughout some of it's most compelling eras.
Thurs. 7/7 at noon: Today we'll be talking via telephone with pianist Connie Crothers from her loft studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.
Thurs. 6/23 at Noon: Tune in this week for an interview between Host Mark Weber and accomplished and versatile flutist, James Newton.
James Newton is back in town -- on summer break from his professorial duties at UCLA music department -- he and his wife Jo Ann and daughter Sydney keep a summer home in Corrales, and wish they could stay year round, like the rest of us........
Thurs. 6/16 at noon: Mark Weber interviews jazz cornetist Bobby Bradford about his distinguished musical career and all things jazz-trumpet.
Today we talk with Bobby Bradford about jazz and trumpets and the artists who play jazz trumpet. Bobby Bradford plays the near-relative of the trumpet known as the cornet. We'll cover everybody from Dizzy to Buddy Bolden to Don Cherry, Shorty Rogers, Chet, Bix, Bubber Miley, Cootie Williams, Art Farmer, Fats Navarro, and King Oliver.
Thurs. 6/9 at noon: Tune in this Thursday afternoon for a live interview with jazz guitar legend Johnny Smith, and hear some of his tunes.
I am pleased to announce that on tomorrow's KUNM Thursday June 9, 2o11 jazz radio show I'll be playing the music of Johnny Smith as well as talking with him on the telephone -- This guy is one of the great legends of jazz music and jazz guitar. That's at Noon-O-Six at 89.9 FM and streaming on the web at KUNM.org.
--Host Mark Weber
Thurs. 5/26 at noon: Avante-garde musician J.A. Deane joins Mark Weber in the studio to share music from some of the albums that influenced his art.
You ever wonder what's going on in the noggins of the avant-garde? John Cage scratches a turntable cartridge that is amplified and then noodles around with contact mikes stuck onto the spines of a saguaro and we're all politely sitting in our seats in a major concert hall listening to this? It's interesting the first time around, and I recommend it. The second time around you're on your own.
Thurs. 5/19 at noon: Supersax founder Med Flory talks with Mark Weber and the sax section of Supersax New Mexico.
Thurs. 4/7 at noon: Mark Weber interviews jazz saxophonist Richard Tabnik live from his home in NYC. But first, J.A. Deane drops by to share his new CD.
Thurs. 3/24 at Noon: This week on the Thursday jazz show we'll honor the contributions that Japan has brought to the music of jazz, and let them know that we are thinking about them in their time of sorrow and struggle in the aftermath of the recent earthquake and tsunami and near-nuclear nightmare.
Thurs. 3/3 at noon: Mark Weber spins jazz renditions of the Beatles.
Thurs. 2/24 at Noon: Today we're going to feature the music of and talk to Bill Smith, one of the greatest jazz clarinetists to ever wet a reed. As well, one of the least acknowledged for his mastery.
In my choosy pantheon of clarinet greats he easily sits along side Artie Shaw, Johnny Dodds, Pee Wee Russell, Kenny Davern, Bill Payne, John Carter, Gary Foster, Lester Young, Hal McKusick, Jimmy Noone, Frankie Teschmacher, Buddy Collette and Beth Custer. These artists can spell chalumeau backwards, forwards and inside out. I spell it: Liquid.
Thurs. 2/17 at noon: Today we'll be featuring the music of Los Angeles bassist Henry Franklin who is known on the coast as The Skipper and his ensembles are his Crew.
Thurs. 1/27: Today on the Thursday jazz show we'll have as our guest a modern-day jazz preservationist who records the music in clubs and concerts from New York to New Mexico. Steven Schmidt will dig into his archive of field recordings and give us an update on what's going on out there.
Thurs. 1/20: There are not very many saxophonists who can claim that they've played with both Warne Marsh or Lee Konitz and fewer yet who have played in that rarified atmosphere with Warne and Lee together at the same time. The only others being Hal McKusick and Jimmy Guiffre. Today we talk with tenor saxophonist Ted Brown live over the telephone from his home in New York City.
Thurs. 5/20: Host Mark Weber is joined by John Trentacosta of Straight Up, and KSFR jazz host Arlen Asher.
Host Mark Weber will have old friends John Trentacosta and Arlen Asher on board, live in the studio for conversation on this notion of jazz and the philosophical implications implied by playing a music that for the most part lets you do what you want and be who you are. A music that insists you be authentic and honest and friendly.
Thurs. 4/1: We continue our discussion of the 1970s Los Angeles jazz scene with New Mexican David Parlato, who has played bass with everyone from Buddy Rich to Frank Zappa.
David is in the midst of exploring just how much public transportation he can use instead of his car -- this day he'll ride the train down from Santa Fe using connecting buses on both ends -- to be live in-studio with us!
Thurs. 3/11: Our Live in-person guest will be New Mexican guitarist Michael Anthony.
Thurs. 3/4: Albuquerque native Bobby Shew spends his 69th birthday talking with host Mark Weber about all things trumpet.
Big birthday party for maestro Bobby Shew who was born this very day in Albuquerque back when Tingley was mayor (1941). I'm not sure we'll discuss surfing the Rio Grande but we will be discussing all things trumpet. Bobby Shew's illustrious career continues to take him around the world and into every dimension. His knowledge of trumpet is staggering. SO, that's what we'll talk about. Host Mark Weber.

Top-selling casual games can cost as little as $25,000, says Jagex
According to this CasualGaming.biz piece, big web games cost far less than you may think to produce.
"If somebody came up with a good game for FunOrb and one that would be good for our infrastructure, we'd certainly talk about it," said Jagex CEO Geoff Iddison.
"We launched FunOrb with a low budget, adding games every two weeks. The cost per game is less that $25,000. That's bearing in mind that we've got [development] infrastructure already in place and that it depends on [whether it's a] single or multiplayer game."
Jagex is best know for MMO Runescape.

(AP) -- South Carolina's Democrats and Republicans want clarification of a court ruling they fear might mean most candidates challenging incumbents across the state would be kept off ballots for the June primary.
Both parties and the State Election Commission on Thursday asked the state Supreme Court to rehear a case over the filing of financial paperwork. They say candidates filed those papers according to the commission's interpretation of the law.
On Wednesday, the court ruled dozens of candidates should be removed from ballots because of improperly filed paperwork. The justices acknowledged their ruling would be hard for some but said state law on the matter is clear.
State officials have estimated more than 100 candidates would be affected. Now, both parties say that number could be much higher.

One tries for politeness, so thank you, Abyssinian. I've no patience with robb's kind of mean-spirited proselytizing. There is always an ulterior motive and it is usually self-serving.....
judith.. i wee you are in portland... would you be open to getting together to see these videos with me...and give an opinion.. i believe that you are very smart.. i apologize for coming across mean... you can see on this the negativity in response to my initial post...all i wanted to do is share my success story and tell them what i did that has made such dramatic difference in my life... my intention is pure... i have not motives and for self serving, the only thing i hope for is better health for myself..believe it or not testimony is not meant to hurt anyone.. again i would like to have a conversation with you as i think we have somethings in common.. i hope to learn from you.. rob
Judith -- I know right? Sounds like he is almost peddling the videos and gets some kind of $$ from it. My original replies I tried to be nice, but after the conspiracies about all of us here must work for the pharma companies, I just gave up. I agree with Abyssinian and it's what I was trying to say (but he said much better!) when I said what Robd was claiming was unrealistic at least and dangerous at most. Moving on!
The perspective gained from those who'v had it for as long as some of us give great gravity and testiment to the fact that almost nothing has changed in the 27 years I've had it, whereas those who are a little newer on the scene may still feel that hope I once did, where technology seems to be eeking from every crack and a 'cure' is spoken of in such convincing tones.
Those convincing tones develop cracks around the edges the more you hear them. I'm still hearing of things about to happen and release that I first heard of 20 years ago.
How depressing is it to have someone tell you about some newspaper article or other that claimed to have a breakthrough mentioned, only to yet again hear that it's the same one you heard of from your Mum when you were 12.
The few major changes have been fairly insignificant compared to the medical companies gains. FDA approval times combined with the cash cow they have in us...I just don't see it happening (and I mean this in regard to every minor improvement) until it's literally pulled from their fingers every step of the way.
I really wish it wasn't this way.
I just don't feel that hope any more. I grab the slight benefits from developments as they arrive, but I'm starting to get older now, and I obviously can't keep on waiting forever before I'm no longer healthy enough to enjoy those benefits any more.
Sorry to sound like such a wet blanket.
Second time I have answered the main focus of this thread.: I still have hope for a cure. I am an eternal optimist, anD though I do not advocate that every diabetic follow Robd's advice: He is not saying to forego insulin AT ALL. I am sure he means no harm to anyone here, just excited about what the raw vegan diet apparently does for him...He had the very serious complication of gastroparesis and an a1c of over 9!.. No wonder he is amazed at his recovery to more normal functioning.
However,Every one's diabetes will vary in terms of their response to insulin dosages and carb intake, dependant on many, many variables. Test and adjust to see what works for you is what he seems to be saying. I personally would not advocate that anyone with less than 3 years of diabetes management under their belt without understanding of diabetes treatment paradigms; to try anything this controversial. Those with such experience and knowledge MAY WANT TO try it with the awareness of your doctor and team.
I may try it for a week or so, maybe. I have a CGM,a pump, can test frequently, and am not hypounaware. I also am retired and have the time to make foods from scratch( though I honestly cannot imagine doing it for everything I eat!!! No raw-vegan restaurants in this midwest town -Columbus, Ohio.) So enough from me on the raw-vegan point .
I do believe that type one diabetes will be cured in my lifetime. As many of you know, I donate blood to the Faustman Lab at Massachusetts General Hopsptial in Boston regularly.. I believe her research with BCG will form the cornerstone of that cure. I really do. Nuff said.
Everybody have a marvelous day!! "This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!!!"
God Bless,
Type One 43 years
Hi Brunetta,
I think I've given Dr. Faustman about 3-4 gallons of my blood. I'm curious - do you know what the protocol is for the trial?
When I enrolled in the trial, I lived about 30 miles west of Boston, so it wasn't any big deal to go to her lab. But, I've since moved back home to Colorado, and it's a fairly big burden financially to go back there.
When I went last fall, I kind of expected to get a shot - either the BCG or a placebo - but Nick just drew blood - yet again!
So, I guess my question to you is: Do you know how many shots we'll need to take? And, how far apart will they be spaced? If I have to go back every 6 weeks or so, I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop out of the trial - it's just not feasible for me money-wise. That will break my heart, because I have so much time, energy and expense wrapped up in the trial.
I think I was one of the first patients to enroll in the phase II part of the trial. When I first met Dr. Faustman, she was just breaking Nick in, and she spent a lot of time with me - mostly teaching Nick how to interview, I think. Nick's a great guy - when I went last October, he explained they were looking for certain markers on the 2A protein.
I've done a lot of research on that, and I remain baffled.
I have another appt. this coming Oct., but I'm really afraid I'm not going to be able to go.....waaahhh.....
Having said all this, I'm still skeptical that the trial will really work. I sure do want to continue in it, tho. I don't mind being a guinea pig for something that - while a longshot - it's still worth a shot.
Tom, we can befriend each other we can talk about this in a private message. Love to talk to you about Dr. Faustman's research.
God bless,
Unfortunately, although it would be great if a raw diet helped with something similar to a cure, we all know that we need the real thing, something we can rely on and feel confident that it really is a cure. Long-term, stable, and without further risks. A Practical Cure, as we like to call it at the JDCA.

'Hansel & Gretel' nabs $19M, No. 1 at box office
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" cooked up $19 million in its opening weekend.
Paramount's R-rated action film update on the classic fairytale topped the box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. "Hansel & Gretel" features Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as grown-up renditions of the title characters battling witches with crossbows.
Don Harris, Paramount's president of distribution, blamed icy weather on the East Coast for the film's not-so-bewitching debut.
"We got dinged a little bit with the weather on Friday, but overall we're pleased," said Harris, who added that "Hansel & Gretel" performed solidly internationally, earning $25 million overseas.
Other films opening over the weekend in the U.S. and Canada didn't fare as well. The crime thriller "Parker," starring Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez, debuted in fifth place with $7 million, while Relativity Media's raunchy ensemble comedy "Movie 43" opened in the seventh spot with $5 million.
Hollywood.com box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian noted that it was the first time box-office grosses were down over last year after four up weekends.
Universal's supernatural horror film "Mama" starring Jessica Chastain dropped to second place with $12.8 million in its second weekend.
Several best-picture Academy Awards contenders continued to benefit from Oscar buzz, as well as the motion picture academy's decision to move up this year's nomination announcement, giving nominees more time in theaters between the Jan. 10 nominations unveiling and the Feb. 24 ceremony.
"Having an Oscar nomination is like holding a lottery ticket," said Dergarabedian. "It could pay off on Oscar night, but it's already paying big dividends now. All this time between the Oscar nominations and the telecast is prime time for these movies to capitalize on their higher profile."
"Silver Linings Playbook," which is up for eight Academy Awards, came in third place over the weekend with $10 million. The film starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence is in its 11th weekend of release and earned $3 million overseas. Continued...
"Zero Dark Thirty," the Osama bin Laden manhunt drama also starring Chastain, dropped to fourth place with $9.8 million. It's competing in five categories at the Academy Awards and nabbed $500,000 internationally.
"Django Unchained," which is nominated for five Oscars, took in $5 million in sixth place, and the musical "Les Miserables," which is up for eight Academy Awards, earned $3.9 million in the 10th position. It was the fifth weekend for both films. "Django" topped the international chart with $47.9 million in 65 total territories.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters," $19 million ($25 million international).
2. "Mama," $12.8 million.
3. "Silver Linings Playbook," $10 million ($3 million international).
4. "Zero Dark Thirty," $9.8 million ($3.6 million international).
5. "Parker," $7 million.
6. "Django Unchained," $5 million ($42.9 million international).
7. "Movie 43," $5 million ($2.8 million international). Continued...
8. "Gangster Squad,"$4.2 million ($6.8 million international).
9. "Broken City," $4 million ($500,000 international).
10. "Les Miserables," $3.9 million ($14 million international).
Estimated weekend ticket sales at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada) for films distributed overseas by Hollywood studios, according to Rentrak:
1. "Django Unchained," $42.9 million.
2. "Skyfall," $35.4 million.
3. "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters," $25 million.
4. "Life of Pi," $17.5 million.
5. "Les Miserables," $14 million.
6. "Lincoln," $10.7 million. Continued...
7. "Miracle in Cell No. 7," $9.7 million.
8. "The Impossible," $7.2 million.
9. "Gangster Squad," $6.8 million.
10. "Wreck-It Ralph," $5.9 million.

Kim Rhode has competed in four Olympic Games, winning metals in all four, two of them gold. She's a six-time national champion and while shooting is her sport, she has many other hobbies. Chuck Henry reports from Redlands for the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on July 27, 2012.
El Monte's Kim Rhode became the first American to win a medal in five consecutive Olympic Games Sunday when she clinched a gold medal in women's skeet.
Women's Skeet: Full Results
Rhode also equaled a World Record during the competition with 99 out of 100 targets hit. The mark is a new Olympic record.
Rhode won a gold medal in Atlanta in 1996 at the age of 17. Four years later, she won a bronze in Sydney, then another gold in Athens, followed by a silver in Beijing. She became the first American to medal in five consecutive Olympics in an individual event with Sunday's gold.
China's Wei Ning earned silver with 91 out of 100 targets. Slovakia's Bartekova Danka won bronze. with 90 out of 100 targets.
The skeet competition involves participants shooting from eight different stations. The series is repeated once in the finals as clay targets are released from a high house and low house. Shooters call for the targets, which are fired after a slight delay.
The crowd reacted with applause and cheers to recognize Rhode's historic moment after she hit her final target. Rhode wiped away tears as she stepped onto the podium during the medal ceremony.
Before the finals, cloudy skies threatened rain as the shooters waited for the competition to begin.
"Just moments away from going out to the final and they brought us umbrellas," Rhode tweeted. "We were all laughing -- don't open them up inside."

MSM Blood Ban | Policy News and Reports | Video Footage | Press Releases
Want to get involved? Sign the petition to call for reformed blood donor guidelines for gay men.
According to U.S. blood donation policies, any man who has had sex with another man (MSM), even once, since 1977, is permanently deferred from donating blood.
Although this policy was created in the early years of the epidemic, when little was known about HIV, the current policy fails to maximize blood safety and excludes many potential gay and bisexual male donors who are at low-risk for HIV. The reports here document the efforts made to revise deferral policies and what actions are currently being taken to develop a safe and effective blood donation policy.
HHS response to ACBSA recommendations (7/22/11) PDF
After the ACBSA determined that current deferral policies are suboptimal, members of the Department of HHS were charged with developing a comprehensive plan to carry out the committee's recommendations. Released in July 2011, HHS reports on what actions are being taken with regard to the blood ban, what additional studies are needed, and what HHS has accomplished at this point in time.

In June 2011, GMHC and several leading LGBT, HIV, and hemophilia organizations issued a joint statement encouraging the Labor Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee to include in its FY 2012 report a recommendation to the Secretary of HHS to move forward with the ACBSA's research recommendations.
Letter to Dr. Sanchez of CUNY re: boycotting of blood drives (4/29/11) PDF
Although GMHC opposes the permanent deferral of MSM from donating blood, we do not support boycotting blood drives on university campuses, places of employment, or elsewhere. The nation continually faces shortages in the blood supply and boycotting blood drives is counterproductive as a public health measure. We alternatively support creative measures to increase awareness about the blood ban while promoting blood donations.
Revising Blood Donation Guidelines: January 2011 (1/11) PDF
This report provides an overview of developments in reform of current blood donation guidelines. In response to the ACBSA's call for further research, the federal government has assembled a working group to carry out the committee's recommendations. Moving forward, GMHC is actively involved to increase awareness and to help identify a subset of MSM who are at low-risk for HIV to become blood donors.
ACBSA recommendations (6/11/10) PDF
After review of current blood donation policies, the ACBSA determined that current donor deferral policies are suboptimal. However, the ACBSA also voted 9 to 6 against recommending a change to the current policy, citing that the available scientific data are inadequate to revise the blood ban. In order to explore alternative policies, the ACBSA called for additional research in several key areas.
Advisory Committee on Blood Safety and Availability (6/10/10) PDF
Sean Cahill and Nathan Schaefer, of GMHC, presented at the U.S. Health and Human Services ACBSA meeting to review current blood donation policies. The presentation emphasized the need to seek alternative MSM donor policies while maintaining the safety of the blood supply. A review of the current literature looks at the risks and benefits of alternative blood donation policies that allow MSM blood donors, which may serve as a model for change.
Organization Endorsement Letter (5/21/10) PDF
In response to the announcement that the Advisory Committee on Blood Safety and Availability (ACBSA) would review the FDA's ban on MSM blood donors, several leading HIV/AIDS service organizations, human rights advocacy groups, and national hemophilia organizations expressed their mutual support for the review of current blood donor eligibility guidelines.
A Drive for Change Report(2/10) PDF
In 2010, GMHC released a comprehensive report on U.S. blood donation policies, which provides an in-depth analysis of the current policy, which permanently defers MSM from donating blood. The report examines the essential elements of a safe and effective blood donation policy, how U.S. policies compare to international policies, and looks at potential behavior-based alternatives that allow MSM donors.
Congressional Support for Reform: 18 Senators Letter (3/4/10) PDF
Recognizing the need to reform outdated blood donation policies, Senator Kerry and 17 other U.S. Senators wrote to the FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, encouraging the FDA to review outdated blood donation policies.

There are editions of this book available without this content, which the author apparently didn't want to have published. I understand the book is old and it takes controversy to get headlines, but it was a valuable document before. It's fun to run this through the mill of media commentary and controversy, but now every school district in the country has to deal with the collateral damage. I'm not sure it is worth it.
PURE propaganda being printed by the City paper. Just another attempt by the Marketers to juice up the Bonjovi chardonnay matrons-gone-wild visitors, hipsters and teeny-boppers. (note the PBR... lol) If there were the numbers of VALID signatures it would be submitted to council or placed into a referendum.
Okay, this is just freaky. In their first cookbook the Lee Brothers acknowledge Peter Milewicz, one of the founders of Steven Duvall Catering. I am close friends with Peter and after the Lee Brothers burst onto the scene he talked about how he frequently did dinner parties for the Lees in the 1980's and the boys spent a lot of time in the kitchen with him. It's pretty awesome to see this come full circle and now the Lee Brothers are working with the company that helped them develop an interest in the food industry.
The present system is anti-White. Especially the US educational system. I was a teacher briefly and had to get out of it. I couldn't stand the bias. I feel sorry for young White students who have to suffer this sort of system. It's wrong. I would never put my own children in a public school. It's cruel to do so when they will surely be subjected to anti-White propaganda as well as racial harassment from non-White students.
"those guys who took the vote away from those who wanted to make a decision based on law."
Laws passed by elected officials are based on law.
The Folly Police can't (or won't) even make sure that all dogs are leashed, never mind what's in your cup.
"What is the word on very discreet drinking on the beaches? Are the cops going to go around and be the beer Nazis, or will they just go about their business if no one is flaunting a brew or a glass of vino?"
My experience has been that keeping your drink in a plastic cup (or other discreet container) pretty much guarantees you won't have issue with the IOP cops. I am not sure about Folly, but I assume it would be similar there.
I love the high-end rums, but could never turn my back on bourbon. I will echo the Clarey's post. That place is about as good as it gets for high-end rum and bourbon selection.
Double Huh, Pronghorn. Who is this guy? If you put many of his phrases into the internet, you can see them word for word many times. This is where college and high school kids go for easy term papers.
Hey, if some of you ban folks want to sell your houses on the cheap, I'm interested in putting some money into some beach property. You shits rent out these places anyway, so why do you care if we have a few brews on the beach? I'd personally like to vote out those guys who took the vote away from those who wanted to make a decision based on law. Maybe we can get some folks in there who care about Bert and merchants like him. Next time a bus full of idiots come calling and make a scene, how about arresting the first 12 or so, and then we won't have a problem.
PS: This is a free speech issue and the school system has NO business being involved. If it was a negro tweeting the school wouldn't say a peep!!
Another example of radical liberalism and political correctness gone wild in schools. More liberal/progressive indoctrination. Just like idiotic zero tolerance gun policies throwing kids out of school for anything gun related - tshirts, pictures, little boys playing cowboys & indians, etc. etc. A real gun, yes! A piece of paper, a shirt, a picture, a pop tart, a water gun, a toy soldier, a GI Joe toy, etc. etc. get an eff'in life morons!!
What is the word on very discreet drinking on the beaches? Are the cops going to go around and be the beer Nazis, or will they just go about their business if no one is flaunting a brew or a glass of vino? I personally like to sit on the beach and enjoy a cool one, and would never have an exposed can or bottle. But, if I do what I do while downtown Chas., I simply fill empty Mt. Dew or Coke 1/2 liter bottles all the way to the top, and they work out fine and don't lose their fizz. I also put vino in the same empty containers. Have never been approached by a cop yet, but now I guess the word is out, and I'll have to think up something else.
More racist & hypocritical bullshit from the left. This is what Obama has brought us - anti-anything Christian and/or white, while enabling and advocating anything non-white & non-Christian.
Our DOJ gives amnesty to Muslim families not in danger in their home countries and our gubment gives them all sorts of public assistance, yet refuses to help a white Christian family from Germany that will have their children taken away if sent back to Germany.
@Anthony - Racism is far from limited to the south. In fact, it's worse in most parts of America today than here in the south.
@FactoryConnection - you're an idiot.
to: And if elected... You must be on drugs! Have you some DNA from Jessie and Al? The problems in the mostly minority schools have been going on for years, and the staffs at these schools refuse to do anything. Well, let's see some rather large lawsuits be settled in favor of the plaintiffs. I doubt there will be any changes made in the administration, but some kids might receive enough money to go to college.
Why is it when _____ happens to _____ , it doesn't seem to matter. It's just another day. But God forbid _____ should happen to_____, well, then, well, suddenly it's the end of the world!! Why is that? Tara? Why?
Most rational people also consider a house, a car, food, clothes, and other items necessities that we need every day, unlike healthcare, which for most is rarely used at all. Yet no one is telling the providers of those other necessities what they can and can not charge.
Healthcare is expensive because the gubment has been screwing with insurance for decades. Same with college tuition. Anytime the gubment gets involved, prices skyrocket. Back in the day - pre-1990s - health insurance was largely used for hospital stays and major emergencies. Typical doctor visits were paid via cash out of pocket. Prices started skyrocketing when insurance started being used to cover everything, including preventative care. Same with dental care & eye glasses. They were much cheaper before insurance got involved.
Once someone else starts paying the bills customers stop caring how much it costs. There is no more market incentive to help hold prices down.
Same with college costs. As soon as loads of easily obtainable, low interest student loans from the gubment became available college tuition skyrocketed. My entire 4 years at Clemson (1984-1988) - tuition, room, board, books - EVERYTHING - cost around $20,000. Today one year at Clemson as an in-state student costs more than my 4 years!!! That's 400+% inflation in only 25 years! That's insane.
I had many friends work their way through school, but that's nearly impossible now! My 1st car was a (new) Nissan Stanza bought in 1983, one year before I went to college. It cost a little over $10,000. Today you can but many cars far nicer than my '83 Stanza for not much more than $10,000. Yet college tuition has gone up in less time over 400%. Again - INSANE!! Why? Because the gubment is subsidizing it. Same as medical insurance. Yet basic cars have gotten far better, far safer, much more technically advanced yet only moderately more expensive.
The surest way to create asinine inflation is with government subsidies. The gubment isn't helping anyone with subsidies of ANY kind!! Subsidies hurt infinitely more than they help and they come with higher taxes and huge gubment bureaucracies to manage them. And once start become almost impossible to end.
Once again, it's the gubment "saying" they want to "help" but all it does is expand the size, scope, cost, and influence of gubment while taking more money out the pockets of hard working folks. The ONLY winner is gubment and supporters of more & bigger gubment!!
Want healthcare costs to drop and service/quality to go up? Go back to cash for services rendered for MOST medical expenses and return insurance to its intended purpose - hospital, emergency, major medical, & catastrophic care!!

We don't really know why the Bronze Age collapsed.
The Bronze Age loosely took place in the last years before the common era (CE or AD). The term "Bronze Age" is applied to the varying lengths of time (by area) where copper and bronze were the chief hard materials in use.
For each area where the Bronze Age refers to, the Bronze Age ended 1200 or fewer years before the common era, where it was succeeded by the use of Iron in the Iron Age. During the early years of the Iron Age and the late years of the Bronze Age, in the Aegean Region, Southwestern Asia, and Eastern Meditteranean, an event known as the Bronze Age collapse occurred.
It was an event generally believed to be violent, sudden, and culturally disruptive. There were many changes in rule, economy, and culture around 1175 BC (or BCE). During this period, the Greek Dark Age, almost every city between Troy and Gaza was violently destroyed and abandoned and almost no records were preserved.
These cities included Hattusa, Mycenae, and Ugarit (all of which are today preserved as archaeological sites). There is a flurry of speculation about what exactly happened. Theories range from volcanoes to earthquakes, from drought to migration, from raids to warfare changes.
It's definitely worth reading up on, as it's one of the greater historical mysteries in the last few thousand years.

Lexi-Drugs6 is another popular handheld drug reference guide, which is known for having additional information, such as Canadian and international brand names, as well as pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic information. The Tarascon Pharmacopoeia,7 which many physicians used in medical school, is now available on the handheld platform. Many of these drug references provide a medical calculator to facilitate, for example, determination of body mass index, corrected QT interval, and absolute neutrophil count. However, numerous publishers also have created stand-alone medical calculators, such as Mediquations,8 for the iPhone and Android.
Medical references (eg, practice guidelines and textbooks) are readily available on multiple smartphones. If Internet access is available, either via WiFi or the cellular data network, users can access PsychiatryOnline.com9 on their device via the Web browser. PsychiatryOnline provides access to DSM-IV, APA practice guidelines, and numerous psychiatric textbooks and journals, as well as handouts for patients and their families. Access on the go is possible because the site detects the mobile browser and adjusts the graphics and layout to make it accessible for the smaller screen of the smartphone.
If access to wireless networks is a problem at times, then having medical references installed on the smartphone is a highly recommended strategy. Skyscape,10 an extremely popular medical information provider, licenses many popular titles from various publishers, including American Psychiatric Publishing Inc, Oxford University Press, and Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This medical information platform distills texts into readable chunks, with excellent navigation and hyperlinks between different references. These titles are available on a subscription basis and can be viewed on practically all platforms, including the new Android and Palm Pre. If a particular title is not available on the Skyscape platform, it may be available at Unbound Medicine11 or Handango.12
Although there are numerous online sites for continuing medical education (CME) credits, many physicians overlook the smartphone as a mechanism to earn CME credits. Its obvious advantage is portability: CME tests can easily be completed, whether at the beach or at the airport. ReachMD13 provides medical news programs on Sirius-XM satellite radio and offers podcast downloading onto an MP3 player. It also produces CME audio vignettes in various 0.25 CME credit increments, with questions to be answered on the device. Epocrates also has mobile CME bundled with its drug reference product, and Medscape14 has created more traditional text-based CME with follow-up questions for the iPhone and BlackBerry smartphones.
One of the key features of the smartphone is its ability to browse the Internet for medical content available on many Web sites, such as PubMed.gov.15
Not all mobile Web browsers are created equal, however. The Apple iPhone and Palm Pre have excellent Web browsers that are quick with multitouch navigation; in comparison, the BlackBerry browser is slower and requires use of menu buttons to zoom. The one feature that sets the Palm Pre above its smartphone competitors is that its browser does have an Adobe Flash Player, which enables this device to access more Web pages with multimedia content. For example, the National ePrescribing Patient Safety Initiative Web site16 is compatible with the Apple iPhone Safari browser and Windows Mobile Internet Explorer mobile, but not with the BlackBerry browser or Palm OS browser. The one feature that sets the Palm Pre above its smartphone competitors is that the Palm Pre browser does have an Adobe Flash Player that enables this device to access more Web pages with multimedia content.
Although many EHR systems provide e-prescribing on both the computer and the smartphone, the National ePrescribing Patient Safety Initiative provides a free Web-based system for every physician in the United States. Many vendors including Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Aetna, Dell, WellPoint, and Sprint have provided funding, while Allscripts and Surescripts provide the technology infrastructure. The goal is to reduce medication errors typically associated with paper-based prescriptions, such as transcription errors.
Once a doctor's account is set up, patient information is entered into the system either manually or via a spreadsheet generated from practice management or billing systems. Information includes demographic details and the patient's retail and/or mail-order pharmacies. After the patient's information is input, the medication is selected with the appropriate instructions for its use. The system automatically checks the dosage and potential drug-drug interactions and also flags duplicate prescriptions. Once the prescription(s) is reviewed, it is sent electronically via the Internet to the pharmacy fax line. The system is able to manage restricted medications with purchase of the appropriate security prescribing paper for the state.
Key features of this system are that it provides formulary status as well as formulary alternatives and that it describes the patient's coverage and copay. Reports can also be generated to determine the patient's medication history. The physician's prescribing habits can also be reviewed for practice-based learning and self-assessment, which is required to maintain American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology certification.17
The bottom line is that there is no excuse for not using e-prescribing if there is a computer in the office.

In the second half of the 19th century, America transformed itself into an industrial power, ready to assume a dominant position on the world scene in the 20th century. The development of industrialization and the consumer society brought about opportunities for many Americans as part of an ever-growing middle class, but also resulted in environmental and social degradation that we continue to deal with at the present time.
UXL's Development of the Industrial U.S. Reference Library: Almanac traces the influence of the British Industrial Revolution on America and other nations and discusses such potent forces as advances in transportation and communication, inventions that transformed manufacturing and agriculture, the growth of trade and much more.
Biographies includes entries on various notables, including Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, Jay Gould, Jane Addams and others.
Primary Sources provides excerpts and explications of seminal sources, including legislative acts, accounts of daily life from regular citizens, political cartoons and more. The set includes a separately published comprehensive index.
For table of contents, sample pages or other volume specific information see the entry for the Almanac, Biographies or Primary Sources.

"Written to be accessible to a high school and beginning undergraduate audience, this three-volume set (plus an included cumulative index booklet) provides an historical overview of the economic, political, and social issues arising from US industrial development. One volume, the "Almanac," narrates the history of US industrialism, describing transportation and communication systems, early technological innovators, the development of the first factories, the rise of the railroads and the Robber Barons, urbanization, workers and the labor movement, industrialism and the "New South," the effects of industrialism on farming and ranching in the West, and reformers of the Progressive Era. Another volume presents 27 biographies of important figures, including industrial capitalists, politicians and social reformers, inventors, and union leaders, as well as one entry on Chinese transcontinental railroad workers. The volume on primary sources presents excerpts from 18 documents, including Alexander Hamilton's Report to Congress on the Subject of Manufactures, Eli Whitney's cotton gin petition, an account of life among female mill workers, John D. Rockefeller's memoirs, Federal antitrust legislation, and Horatio Alger novels."

A former Southwest DeKalb High School chorus teacher was cleared of charges related to a 2008 incident where students in his class stripped and pantomimed sex acts with other students to music, a jury ruled last month.
Nathan Grigsby was found not guilty on five counts of contributing to the deprivation of a minor, the jury ruled March 31. The case also included the testimony of three former students who were charged separately in the December 2008 incident shortly before Grigsby's trial began.
Grigsby declined to comment through his attorney, Jackie Patterson, who said he was hoping the state would drop its charges against the three former students, Jerramy Bartlett, Joe'l Shumate and Kiyon Benton. All three were charged with public indecency and disrupting a public school. They graduated last year.
"To charge them on the day of the trial after a year and a half later, that was simply uncalled for," Patterson said. "This was an intimidation tactic. (Solicitor-General Robert James) believed… that they would freeze up and not testify for Mr. Grigsby, and, fortunately, he was wrong."
James said the students will be arraigned next month. He said he could have arrested the students, which would have left them incarcerated with charges that wouldn't be expunged from their record.
"We sought to be as compassionate and even-handed as possible," he said. "This case, the entire time, was about decency, morality and values with our children. We expect them to be educated when they go to school. We do not expect that they will be part in a lewd sex show. … If that happens again, people should expect to see the same result. This was a case that needed to be tried, and we did."
James, in his opening statement on March 29, told the jury that Grigsby watched happily on Dec. 11 as the three students danced to sexually suggestive music while pantomiming sex acts with three female students in front of an excited class without stopping them. He told the jury Grigsby turned the classroom into a "two-bit strip club."
Bartlett, Shumate and Benton danced to the song "Meeting in My Bedroom" by Atlanta R&B group Silk "while the defendant, Mr. Grigsby, smiled and laughed," James said.
Patterson said Grigsby didn't see or hear the majority of the performance because he was helping another student with his back turned while wearing "studio-quality" headphones. Once he turned around, he quickly shut off the music and eventually punished the students.
Bartlett and Shumate, both 19 years old, defended Grigsby on March 30. The students' testimony was repeatedly cautioned by Judge Johnny Panos who reminded the students that because they had been charged, anything they said during the trial could be used by the prosecution against them. Bartlett and Shumate both said they understood and wanted to defend their former teacher.
"He was a great mentor," Shumate said. "He would never do anything to put us at harm."
Grigsby is currently teaching music at Agnes Scott College and has said he would like to return to teaching in the county.
