Source Naturals Magnesium Ascorbate -- 8 oz
good product
It has a metallic taste which in water is very noticeable. If you mix with OJ or juice it is fine. I like the product. It does settle to the bottom so you have to continually mix. I have mixed it into applesauce for my kids and they did not notice.
May 21, 2008
source of absorbable magnesium and, surprisingly, this works well with
a sublingual 2.5 mg melatonin in the evening for a better night's
sleep. We take tsp of the ascorbate magnesium with 4 oz of water and a
melatonin about 45 minutes before laying down. Works like a charm.

I didn't post to play parent or doctor to this boy, to label him, try to diagnosis him, or to try to tell his parents how to parent him. I posted partially as a vent, because I am very angry and upset (and I won't deny it) that my kids are getting hurt constantly by him and the parents stand idly by. Partially for advice for no other reason than I want my kids to stop getting hurt by him but don't know how to handle it because we are a very (physically) close family and avoiding time with him is not without consequences within the family (aka drama).
Our nephew ("E") is very, very aggressive toward other kids. He's almost two and is solid mass. He is a good head taller-at least-than my youngest daughter ("K") and weighs as much as my almost 4 year old ("B"). He's been like this for quite some time but I got to see first hand how he is toward the other kids today after not really being around him since December. He must have pushed K and B down, or tried two a dozen times. He succeeded knocking K to the floor and hurting her to the point where she was screaming that tortured high pitched "I'm HURT!" cry three times in a period of 4 hours. His parents (Daddy's brother and SIL) did nothing to correct aside from saying "Don't do that." "Don't push." etc.
In addition to pushing and not just pushing playing but pushing with enough force to knock me (full grown adult) off balance, he will jump and fall with all his weight on anyone laying on the floor no matter who it is...including K whom is significantly smaller than he is. And he throws, boy does he throw! He throws and kicks toys all over. A few times he sent some stuff airborne that could have injured others. Nothing is done aside from "We don't kick/throw." It made me very upset today because K kept getting hurt, whether from being shoved over, landed on, or hit with things he was throwing/kicking. Our son also had his Easter toy broken (twice) by E. Again, the behaviour was corrected with a "We don't do that." or "That's (name)'s toy, leave it alone." Nothing else. When I saw him doing things that could have hurt one of my kids I would said "E, NO." or "Leave (name) alone." He'd go off and doing something else for awhile but the behaviour was eventually repeated. The only thing I could do to make sure my kids didn't get hurt (mainly the three younger ones) was watch him like a hawk to see how he interacted with them and try to ward off the physically aggressive behaviour by removing MY kids or their belongings from the equation...punishing them to protect them in a sense. I know it's not my kids because his mom told whomever that her step-sisters son didn't like playing with him anymore because he pushed.
He just doesn't respect boundaries at all and his parents don't help. He's constantly in the kid's faces wanting them to play, trying to sit on them, sit with them, etc. Needless to say they don't want to play with him at times and he just doesn't get it so he keeps at it, trying to get them to play or jump/lay/sit on them.
Typically, aside from the usual sibling rivalry my children can be left to play independently for a period of time without hurting each other like E did to them today. I feel like I shouldn't have to "baby sit" someone else's kid to make sure my kids don't get hurt, when the parents are in the other room, out of eye sight, enjoying the holiday, when they know of their son's aggressive tendencies but don't watch him interact with others. His father mentioned to me and his Uncle that he pushes to get attention. It's also obvious and was verbally stated that his parents are completely exhausted and don't know what to do about the behaviour. He's very active and physical anyway and I know that his mom especially "gives up" in a sense because she can't handle his hyperactivity or doesn't know how to respond to him to remedy the behaviour. It's to the point right now, after seeing what I saw today, my two younger ones have bruises on them now because of being pushed down or hit with toys, I don't want them around their cousin. I also do not want this cousin around their toys-he's broken more stuff of ours than I care to admit and aside from the occasionally "Sorry." his mom use to give (not anymore) the behaviour wasn't corrected.
Having four kids at home I know some physical aggressiveness can happen even in the best behaved kids. However, it's not an ongoing thing with my kids and if/when I saw/see my kids pushing, throwing, or kicking I discipline immediately and quite effectively. Very rarely do my younger two hurt each other on purpose. I talk sternly and if necessary remove the offender from the "fun" and other children. I also explain why the behaviour is unacceptable and what will happen next (time out typically or toy taken away). The older two get restricted and privileges taken away. In addition to that I label the feeling (mad, sad, frustrated, bored, etc.) and try to provide constructive ways of expressing or remedying that feeling and make sure they know that they made (name) feel hurt, sad, angry, etc.
It also makes me extremely mad that on the off moment when my son as had enough, or my middle daughter has had enough of being climbed over, jumped or fallen on, or mauled that they stand up for themselves (yelling at him or pushing him away from them, etc. which happens rarely) that the parents reprimand my kids for hurting their son.
I don't know what to do about this. We all (us, BIL/SIL, and the parents) live within 10 minutes of each other. Holidays are spent together and during that time it's unavoidable that the kids will be together or it will be a major family issue. If the holidays were in our house I would feel more comfortable saying something like "In our house we don't push/throw." or "A (middle daughter) why don't you....so E doesn't bother you?" but considering most of the holidays are spent at the parents that's really not my place. At this time I'm considering telling Daddy I don't want the kids down there if Eric is there (for non-holiday events) and why but I don't think that's going to do much to change things, just remove my kids from it at the risk of ticking them off.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Community Rehabilitation Program
Fairmount Campus • 1750 East Fairmount Ave. • Baltimore, MD 21231
About Our Program:
As part of the continuum of pediatric rehabilitation therapy services provided by the Kennedy Krieger Institute, the Community Rehabilitation Program is an alternative option for rehabilitation that occurs right in a patient's home or other important community settings. We offer a wide spectrum of services ranging from intensive, daily therapy for patients with acute needs to the use of one or two professionals to help those with less severe needs return to community activities.
Our program is unique in a variety of ways:
- We offer mobile, active, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation in the patient's natural environment, which is often the most clinically effective site to provide services.
- The program is coordinated among the various therapies to allow for revision of a client's treatment program throughout the course of rehabilitation.
- Our services are not restricted to homebound individuals or exclusively to services performed in the patient's home.
- Community-based services allow a unique view of the client's specific needs and the family's priorities.
Our Treatment Approach:
Directed by a pediatric rehabilitation physician, the interdisciplinary treatment team evaluates each individual. Based on the results of these evaluations, the treatment team and the family develop a plan for community-based treatment. Each treatment plan falls within one of five therapy models, as follows*:
- Intensive Model: Best for patients needing intense therapeutic intervention to guide rapid changes following a medical intervention or newly acquired neurological or orthopedic issue. This model offers three or more visits each week, for about three to four weeks.
- Frequent Model: Well-suited to patients who are continuously progressing toward their goals but still need specific therapeutic intervention. This model offers one to two visits each week, for about three to four weeks.
- Transitional Model: Best for patients who can work independently on their therapy goals, but may still need monitoring to ensure their progress continues. This model offers visits every other week for approximately four weeks.
- Periodic Model: Good for patients making slower progress, who need practice, but not intensive therapy, to continue toward their goals. This model offers monthly or quarterly visits.
- Consultative Model: After patients are discharged, we can provide follow-up and consultation when a need or question arises. This model is offered on an as-needed basis.
Community Rehabilitation treats children, adolescents and young adults with a variety of needs, including patients:
- With traumatic brain injury
- Who have had orthopedic surgery and require rehabilitation, including those with developmental disabilities
- With a diagnosis of motor or cognitive disability or chronic pain affecting functional independence
- With spinal cord dysfunction who need rehabilitation in the life skills required for independent functioning
Primary Program Goals:
- To deliver services that are cost-efficient, comprehensive and in a setting more natural than a hospital
- To identify and achieve individual treatment goals in an intense and efficient model of service delivery
- To provide patient, family and community education
- To establish, monitor and maintain follow-up plans
- To maintain family and provider satisfaction
Hours of Operation:
Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

< Return To Hearing
Prof. R. Alta CharoFebruary 5, 2002 I was a member of the N.I.H. Human Embryo Research Panel in 1993-94, and the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) from 1996-2001. I participated in drafting NBAC's 1997 report on human cloning, but did not participate in drafting its 1999 report on human embryonic stem cells, in order to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest due to my affiliation with the university where human embryonic stem cells were first isolated and maintained. I also had the privilege of testifying for the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) as it prepared its recent report on cloning, and have since been appointed to the NAS Board on Life Sciences. I am pleased to testify in support of legislation that protects valuable non-reproductive uses of cloning technology while also guarding against its dangerous use to make a baby. Such legislation is largely consistent with the recommendations of the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (whose reports recommended a moratorium on reproductive cloning but federal funding for research on stem cells derived from surplus IVF embryos while monitoring on-going private sector research on stem cells derived from cloned embryos) and with the recommendations in the National Academy of Sciences' two reports on stem cell research and reproductive cloning. It is also consistent with the provisions of a bill passed last week by the Wisconsin State Senate, a bill that is supported by the University of Wisconsin - Madison and which is now ready for consideration by our State Assembly. I am here today to present my own views, however, and do not represent NBAC, the NAS or my own university. Debates over reproductive cloning, stem cell therapy, and even genetic engineering have become almost hopelessly entangled in the last five years. Each is worthy of policy debate. But each deserves a clear and separate discussion. Cloning, that is, somatic cell nuclear transplantation, is currently too dangerous for making babies. Medical societies tell their members not to try it. The Food and Drug Administration has intervened to prevent it. It would be malpractice to attempt it, Florida has a bill to hold professionals strictly liable should they do it, and Senate Bill 1758 would criminalize it. Clearly, there are many ways to stop the small number of publicity-hungry, irresponsible people who want to risk the health of women and children by using reproductive cloning. But there are bills now before this Congress that would ban not only the irresponsible use of cloning to make babies, but also the responsible use of non-reproductive cloning for research or therapy. Some would even ban importation of proven medical therapies developed abroad, if their origins were entangled with cloning research. Their proponents fear that once a cloned embryo exists in a laboratory, either the embryo or the so-called "parent" may have constitutional grounds to insist that pregnancy be permitted. But this makes no sense. It requires either that the cloned embryo has its own right to be born (a doctrine rejected both by the Supreme Court and by leading state courts hearing disputes over existing, frozen IVF embryos) or that people have a fundamental right to use these embryos to reproduce through cloning, in which case the entire ban on reproductive cloning is unconstitutional. Others worry that a cloned embryo sitting in a laboratory will tempt someone to use it illegally to make a baby. But the criminal penalties in Senate Bill 1758 are equally effective, whether a cloned embryo already exists or is merely imagined. The deterrent is clear, and is not strengthened by criminalizing basic research. But if criminalizing research is not needed to deter reproductive cloning, then these bills must have another purpose. Indeed, their proponents have argued that a research ban is needed to protect embryos, women's health, and the future of humanity. But if the purpose is to protect embryos, then criminalizing research and therapeutic cloning is an odd place to begin. We know - indeed, we fully expect - that embryos will be lost by the thousands every year at in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics. Even if IVF is done perfectly, and even if everyone who wants to "adopt" an embryo is successful, thousands would still be left behind. Criminalizing research cloning cannot alter the scale of embryo loss that occurs each year. And since almost no one thinks IVF could be outlawed, criminalizing a technique that might involve an exceedingly small number of embryos represents at best a symbolic effort at embryo protection. Such symbolic efforts are both powerful and important. They remind us that life is a gift that should be experienced with awe and gratitude. But a symbol can be badly tarnished if it is adopted at the expense of pain and suffering. While reproductive cloning at this time is a danger to children, non-reproductive cloning could save their lives. Cloning cells from someone with a genetic disease could produce tissue in which we study how the defective gene malfunctions, and help us develop drug treatments, perhaps reducing the number of human volunteers at risk in later clinical trials. Used to generate stem cells, it might become the fastest route to transplantation without risk of rejection. And perhaps most importantly, studying how cloning reprograms adult cells will help us learn how to reprogram cells directly, without cloning and without the use of embryos, to create tissue for research, transplantation and organ regeneration to alleviate paralysis and extend healthy life. Yes, there are other promising avenues of research, and they most certainly should be pursued. But that is no argument for criminalizing this research. America is not a country in which basic research or personal choices are illegal until someone has persuaded the government to grant permission. Quite the contrary. We celebrate the freedom to think and to act and to inquire into the secrets of nature, until a compelling case can be made that it must be stopped. Identifying complementary areas of research falls far short of making that case. At best it is an argument for shaping federal funding priorities in a way that affords these alternative avenues every chance of success. A handful of women's health and environmental organizations, those especially known for great skepticism about medical science and biotechnology, have also testified against research cloning, claiming it is the first step toward a world that is both unnatural and devoid of sentiment. These, too, are concerns worthy of independent debate. But FDA regulation of cell-based therapies that require women's eggs will address issues of risk to women, and markets in eggs, sperm and other human tissue can be regulated without criminalizing basic science. But most importantly, research and therapeutic cloning is neither the beginning nor the end of a slippery slope toward eugenics. It is not even the most important landmark. Our power over human reproduction is as old as ancient contraceptive potions. And the first announcements about IVF were greeted with the same chorus of concerns about genetic engineering, designer babies, and the commodification of life, because it was IVF that first made the embryo amenable to study and manipulation outside the body. By contrast, therapeutic cloning does not design or engineer the embryo, and precisely because it is not about making babies, it neither designs nor engineers our children. It is not basic research but rather our choices about its applications that will shape the future. A moratorium on attempting pregnancy with cloned embryos, or perhaps in the future with engineered embryos, is a highly effective speed bump on the slippery slope toward the future some people predict and fear. To ask for more, to halt basic research, is to sacrifice the diabetic children, the paralyzed veterans, the skin-scorched firefighters and the declining elderly of the present for a future that is neither certain nor imminent. In sum, we should deter those who would use cloning for reproductive ends despite its dangers. But we shouldn't throw the bath water out with the baby. Criminalizing research and therapeutic cloning is not the way to protect embryos or to guard against the future. It merely gambles with the hope held by many people today that they may live to see that future, whatever it holds. Thank you. |

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama was ready to order a military strike against Syria, with or without Congress' blessing. But on Friday night, he suddenly changed his mind.
Senior administration officials describing Obama's about-face Saturday offered a portrait of a president who began to wrestle with his own decision — at first internally, then confiding his views to his chief of staff, and finally summoning his aides for an evening session in the Oval Office to say he'd had a change of heart.
The ensuing flurry of activity culminated Saturday afternoon in the White House Rose Garden when Obama stood under a sweltering sun, his vice president at his side, and told the American public the U.S. should launch a military strike to punish Syrian President Bashar Assad for a chemical weapons attack the U.S. says killed more than 1,400 people last week.
But first, he said, he'll ask permission from Congress.
By the time Obama's National Security Council met a week ago Saturday, a few days after the attack, it was clear the intelligence the U.S. had gathered corroborated the notion that a chemical attack had resulted in dramatic mass casualties, officials said. All the officials in this report demanded anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the president's decision-making by name.
As the meeting opened, Obama told his advisers the attack outside Damascus was precisely the type of scenario he had been concerned about last year, when he said Assad's large-scale use of chemical weapons would cross a red line for the U.S. and necessitate a response. Obama hadn't made a final decision, officials said, but he told aides his strong inclination was the U.S. must act.
By the end of the meeting, aides were no longer discussing whether to respond, but how and when.
Over the course of the next week, Obama's aides began making their case publicly, asking allies to support a military action and talking with lawmakers, who were away from Washington in the final throes of their August congressional recess.
Secretary of State John Kerry cut short his vacation and was dispatched to say the U.S. had clear evidence of an attack in two impassioned State Department speeches.
''The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity,'' Kerry said Monday in the first address. ''By any standard, it is inexcusable.''
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, traveling in Asia, said the U.S. had moved military assets into place. ''We are ready to go,'' Hagel said. The Navy beefed up its presence in the Persian Gulf region, increasing the number of aircraft carriers from one to two.
Away from Washington, the U.S. was running into obstacles in its search for a global coalition to bolster its case that a response was needed to show the world will not tolerate chemical weapons use.
Its own inspectors on the ground in Syria, the U.N. Security Council failed to reach agreement on Wednesday on authorizing the use of force, with Russia objecting to international intervention. Meanwhile, Obama declared publicly and unequivocally that the U.S. had concluded Assad's government carried out the attack.
Thursday brought another stinging setback when a vote in Britain's Parliament to endorse military action failed, all but guaranteeing Britain wouldn't play a direct role. But France's leader said he and Obama were in agreement and that France could go ahead with a strike.
In Washington, members of Congress from both parties were insisting Obama consult more closely with Congress before giving an order to begin hostilities. Dozens of lawmakers, most of them Republican, signed a letter saying Obama should not take military action without congressional approval, although administration officials insisted no congressional leaders or committee chairs made that request personally to the White House.
Obama's national security team was in agreement that while consulting with Congress was critical, there was no need for formal approval, officials said. Seeking a vote in Congress to authorize a strike wasn't even an option on the table.
All that changed Friday night, when Obama left the West Wing with his chief of staff, Denis McDonough. Under cloudy skies and temperatures nearing 90 degrees, the two walked on the White House grounds for the better part of an hour, and Obama confided in his adviser that he had changed his mind. He laid out an idea to ask Congress to approve a strike.Continued...

12 personal security resolutions for 2013
Among your typical New Year's resolutions - lose weight, stop smoking, be happier - you should consider making some pledges to better secure your digital life. You might even be healthier if you can prevent the stress of a digital disaster, like malware wiping out your PC, having your online accounts hacked, or becoming a victim of identify theft because of a phishing scam or data theft. With that in mind, here are some security resolutions you should consider for the new year.

Cloud business benefits seen in engineering, retail, media and logistics
The business benefits of sourcing platforms, infrastructure or applications via internet-based public services or private enterprise services have been much hyped over recent years. Dubbed cloud computing public and private cloud computing is a major topic in enterprise technology at present. However, there can be no doubt adoption of both types of cloud services has reached the corporate mainstream.
Network virtualisation will lead to security control changes
Gartner analyst Neil MacDonald's specialty is security, and he not only keeps a close eye on what security vendors are doing, but he's an advocate for change as fundamental network technologies evolve. Virtualisation is having an enormous impact, leading to questions about the role of physical security appliances in a virtual world. MacDonald predicts by 2015, 40% of security controls in the enterprise data center will be virtualised, up from 5% in 2010. In a recent interview, MacDonald talked about the future of security in the virtual world.
Spammers staying ahead of filters and law enforcement

Six ways to prevent drive-by download malware attacks
In the first quarter of 2011, enterprise users encountered an average of 274 web-based malware attacks, a 103 percent increase over 2010, according to research from Cisco ScanSafe. Why the dramatic increase? One major cause is the growing number of drive-by download attacks. Drive-by downloads are an especially pernicious method cybercriminals use to install viruses and spyware, and otherwise take control of unsuspecting end users' computers.

Gasification Website Is Launched
Monday - 8/9/2010, 2:25pm EDT
Officials say gasification is anticipated to be the technology of choice for future near zero-emissions, coal-based plants that produce power, fuels, and chemicals. The process uses heat, pressure, and steam to convert ANY carbon-based raw material into synthesized gas, which can then be refined into pure hydrogen, transformed into liquid transportation fuels, or used to create electricity.
The website - dubbed Gasifipedia - contains both introductory and in-depth information. You'll find the new Gasifipedia through the department's Energy Lab website at www.netl.doe.gov.

ISPA bracing for more state mattress recycling legislation
David Perry -- Furniture Today, December 13, 2012
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A new year is expected to bring a new round of state mattress recycling bills that would impose crippling costs on the mattress industry, according to the bedding industry's trade association.
The International Sleep Products Assn., which favors a national approach to mattress recycling, helped defeat mattress recycling measures in California, Connecticut and Rhode Island earlier this year. It expects advocates of those measures to renew their efforts in 2013, and says other states may also consider mattress recycling bills.
"As in 2012, ISPA will respond to these bills to protect the industry from burdensome legislation that will cripple the industry," ISPA said in a year-end statement on the recycling issue.
"Our long-term goal remains to establish a national system for mattress recycling through federal legislation, but we recognize that the threat posed by the states is serious and imminent. To that end, ISPA will work with the state officials to make sure that legislation will encourage more recycling in a cost-efficient and practical manner," the association said.
The state bills introduced earlier this year "would have forced mattress manufacturers to pay for recycling of used mattresses," ISPA said. It said that the legislation that almost passed in California "would have cost mattress manufacturers more than $100 million annually in California alone. This is an overwhelming expense for any industry, especially one that is still recovering from the recession."
ISPA said the mattress industry has long supported the need for efficient mattress recycling. With more than 50,000 mattresses discarded each day in the United States, each occupying up to 23 cubic feet of landfill space, an efficient recycling solution is necessary, ISPA said.
It said used mattresses can be broken down to their component parts and recycled to make new products. "By working constructively with all stakeholders, ISPA can find a solution that both promotes efficient mattress recycling and limits costs for everyone," the association said.
In a statement released in support of ISPA's recycling position, Specialty Sleep Assn. President Dale Read urged his members to push for "a single mattress recycling plan, a smart, planned and centrally directed nationwide mattress recycling program, and to prevent well-meaning 'green' advocates from creating a nightmare of 50 state programs that cost small to mid-size manufacturers and local retailers millions of dollars, create a huge potential health hazard and actually prevent the efficient recovery and re-use of valuable components and materials."

This is a study with good news. Looking at three cohorts of women treated in the years between 1989 and 2001, divided into year groups which reflected changing standards of care and treatments, the report is that more women are doing well. None of us believe that enough progress has been made--that won't happen until all women who are diagnosed can be cured. Or, even better, if breast cancer can be prevented. In the meantime, we are grateful for small steps and ever-improving treatments. This is a study by Rinet Yeushalmi and colleagues as reported in Breast Cancer Research Treatments. I will include the abstrat and then a link to read more:
Abstract Adjuvant systemic treatment for breast cancer
has evolved resulting in improved outcomes. A relevant
question is whether these advances have changed the pattern
of distant relapse. Women diagnosed with stage I-III
breast cancer were divided into three time cohorts
according to changes in adjuvant therapy; A: 1989-1991—
CMF chemotherapy in premenopausal and tamoxifen for
postmenopausal women; B: 1992-1997—anthracycline
chemotherapy and tamoxifen for pre/postmenopausal
women; C: 1998-2001—broader use of anthracyclines.
The primary endpoint was 5-year cumulative incidence of
bone metastasis (BM) as first site of metastasis (FSOM)
versus non-bone metastasis (NBM). The ratios NBM/BM
in each period were calculated. The eligibility criteria were
met by 21,415 cases; Cohorts A: 1989-1991 (n = 3,915),
B: 1992-1997 (n = 9,229) and C: 1998-2001 (n = 8,271).
Between 1989 and 2001, the percentage of patients
receiving adjuvant chemotherapy increased from 23.1 to
34.4%. A decline in cumulative 5-year incidence rates for
BM and NBM as FSOM was seen comparing cohort A to
C, P\0.0001. The ratio NBM/BM was significantly
increased from 1.53 in the early cohort to 2.00 in the later
one, P = 0.0083. The most prominent increase (84%) was
in the ER-negative group, chemotherapy treated, P =
0.0272. A significant decline in 5-year cumulative incidence
of metastases and an increase in the proportion of
NBM as first site of metastasis were observed between
earlier and later cohorts. This may reflect the need for more
successful adjuvant treatment options for aggressive breast
cancer subtypes which are more likely to present with early
spread to visceral organs. Understanding patterns of relapse
may help design new adjuvant strategies.

The powerful defenses in the Southeastern Conference are being knocked on their heels.
The SEC has built its reputation on fast, talented defenses and rode that tradition to seven straight BCS national titles. This year, defenses are being shredded yard-by-yard.
Nine of 14 SEC teams are surrendering more yards than a year ago at this time. Among them are some of the conference's defensive leaders the past few seasons: Alabama, LSU and South Carolina.
Whatever the reason -- spread offenses, an exodus of defensive talent to the NFL or attack-minded new coaches pushing the offensive tempo -- it's apparent early on that SEC defenses are backpedaling.
Alabama coach Nick Saban says one reason is the SEC is loaded with explosive offensive players who have gotten the better of younger defenders.

What's with the *** guy behind her? Ladies please keep a purse for your best accessories, not a *** GUY! She look like she is wearing a table cloth or curtains. They *** guy have on slippers LMAO! this is really a fashion DON'T - Kill the designer of the jumpsuit and the hairstylist for that $10 hair :(
This ghetto-trash is at best a Hollywood has-been, dis ugly grandma! Shud go sit her pathetic irrelevant old &used up *** down and stop trying 2stay relevant cus whatever star dis b*tch had has long since "FADED". P.s. Wade shud come 2his senses &throw dis old desperate "RELIC" out of his life 4 good Eww! Just saying lol.
Ransomed, she's cute and I agree. She's old and I'm sure she'll do the "Angela Bassett". Sad when you have to go through a million men for them not to want *** to do with you when it comes to settling down...
Anyways, Happy Bday. She looks good cause she has money, unlike many BW who live above their means.
@COBonner that's wassup @allnegativecommenter s that's a shame how much garbage could come out of a human beings mouth you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. And for what reason? What has she ever done to you? I hope she NEVER sees or hears anything from people like yall. Anyway she looks ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS and I hope she is happy. God bless.

► PTPMT1 depletion causes cell cycle delay and differentiation block in HSCs ► The HSC pool in PTPMT1 knockout mice is drastically (∼40-fold) expanded ► Mitochondrial metabolism is altered and AMPK is highly activated in knockout HSCs ► PTPMT1 PIP substrates directly enhance fatty-acid-induced activation of UCP2
The regulation and coordination of mitochondrial metabolism with hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and differentiation is not fully understood. Here we report that depletion of PTPMT1, a PTEN-like mitochondrial phosphatase, in inducible or hematopoietic-cell-specific knockout mice resulted in hematopoietic failure due to changes in the cell cycle and a block in the differentiation of HSCs. Surprisingly, the HSC pool was increased by ∼40-fold in PTPMT1 knockout mice. Reintroduction of wild-type PTPMT1, but not catalytically deficient PTPMT1 or truncated PTPMT1 lacking mitochondrial localization, restored differentiation capabilities of PTPMT1 knockout HSCs. Further analyses demonstrated that PTPMT1 deficiency altered mitochondrial metabolism and that phosphatidylinositol phosphate substrates of PTPMT1 directly enhanced fatty-acid-induced activation of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2. Intriguingly, depletion of PTPMT1 from myeloid, T lymphoid, or B lymphoid progenitors did not cause any defects in lineage-specific knockout mice. This study establishes a crucial role of PTPMT1 in the metabolic regulation of HSC function.

Hello Bobcats fans. Shortly after the loss to the Boston Celtics last night, I got to thinking. We have had some bad seasons in our short history, but this one is pretty bad. Our first season (2004-05) ended with an 18-64 record. This year, we're on pace for 9.84 wins. That's right folks, we're on pace to win half as many games as a team that featured the immortal names Primoz Brezec, Jason Hart, and Melvin Ely.
What's more is the Cats are currently mired in a twelve game losing streak. One more and we tie the franchise mark set in the 05-06 season. Even worse, our average point differential thus far this season is -13.6. The Bobcats are the only team in the last decade to have a negative point differential in the double digits. I think it's safe to say that we are in full-on tank mode (or maybe we're just that bad).
Wait a second though; there is a silver lining right? With the worst record comes the highest chance of landing the first overall pick in the strong 2012 draft. Well, not so fast. Some draft lottery history must be understood before we get too comfortable with ourselves. The lottery has been in effect (in some form) since 1985. In the 27 total draft lotteries, the team with the worst record has won the first overall pick a total of… four times. By comparison, the team with the third worst record has won the most times (6) and the team with the fifth worst record has won it five times.
But don't start crying yet. The lottery has existed in three different formats through the years. From 1985 through 1989, the teams who missed the playoffs each had an equal chance of winning the lottery. From 1990 through 1993, teams' chances decreased by one. It wasn't until 1994 that the league adopted the current, weighted lottery system.
So what changes when we narrow our scope to just the last 18 years? Well, not much. Since 1994, the team with the worst record has won the lottery a grand total of… 2 times while the team with the third and fifth worst records have won the lottery 5 and 4 times, respectively. So looking at history, the Bobcats would be in better shape winning a few more games than our current pace dictates.
But let's try to get back to that silver lining and break down how the past has turned out. The worst team has received the first pick 2 times, the second pick 6 times, the third pick 5 times, and the fourth pick 5 times. History might also dictate that we stop talking about Anthony Davis and focus our attention more on the Drummonds, Lambs, Jones, and Sullingers of the world.
Maybe I just haven't found that silver lining yet. But you best believe I'll keep looking until I do. Maybe we don't find it until draft night. Maybe we manage to win a few more games than expected and avoid a historically bad season. At any rate, I want to thank you for sticking with me through this piece as it was heavy on the numbers. If you have any questions about my math, or if I calculated something wrong, just drop a comment below. Thank you and stay hopeful out there!

The Green Meeting Industry Council has begun its official search for a new executive director to replace Shawna McKinley who has held the position since October 2006. McKinley resigned in August 2007 to take on the role of project manager at Portland, Ore.-based Meeting Strategies Worldwide, but continued as interim executive director of the GMIC as the organization considered its management options.

Unanswered: Problems getting split carousels on a TabBar Panel
I have setup a Toolbar for my user interface with four separate menu items. One of these menu's I would like to have 2 carousels split vertically so that the user can scroll them on either side of the device
My current code is as follow; (It was taken from the Tabs and Toolbar Demo)
Code:Project.views.item = Ext.extend(Ext.Panel,{ title: "Item", iconCls: 'calendar', incomMask: true, }); Ext.reg('cocktails', Project.views.Item);
Code:Ext.setup({ onReady: function() { var topChanger = new Ext.Carousel({ items: [ {style: "background-color: #D55B5B;"}, {style: "background-color: #B22222;"}, {style: "background-color: #7C0505;"} ] }); var centerChanger = new Ext.Carousel({ items: [ {style: "background-color: #FFDD00;"}, {style: "background-color: #FFBF00;"}, {style: "background-color: #FF8F00;"} ] }); var bottomChanger = new Ext.Carousel({ items: [ {style: "background-color: #7BB300;"}, {style: "background-color: #3B7E00;"}, {style: "background-color: #0E3E00;"} ] }); new Ext.Panel({ fullscreen: true, layout: { type: 'vbox', align: 'stretch' }, defaults: {flex: 1}, items: [topChanger, centerChanger, bottomChanger] }); } });

I'm not sure exactly what you are wanting but if you want the 3 carousels to be side by side then use hbox instead of vbox.

"Ko-Ko" is a 1945 bebop recording featuring Charlie Parker on alto saxophone, with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie.
The piece starts in the key of E flat minor.
A recording ban, imposed by the American Federation of Musicians from 1942-1944, prevented musicians in the nascent bebop movement from recording new works during the crucial formative period of this emerging genre. As a result, "Ko-Ko" is considered by many to be the very first time Bebop was ever recorded.[citation needed]
Charlie Parker said that while playing Ray Noble's tune "Cherokee," "I found that by using the higher intervals of a chord as a melody line and backing them with appropriately related changes, I could play the thing I'd been hearing."[1] He had played that piece so many times that by the end he hated it, but he had mastered the chords perfectly in all 12 keys. "Ko-Ko" has a partially improvised head and the chords are based on "Cherokee".[2]
Other musicians involved include Curly Russell on bass and Max Roach on drums. Trumpeter Gillespie played piano on most pieces while 19 year old Miles Davis played trumpet.
In 2002, the Library of Congress added "Ko-Ko" to the National Recording Registry.[3]
There a distinct 'jungle' feel to the piece, strongly held by the use of swing 8ths in the drums, also use of mallets on the toms. This is accompanied by syncopated off beats through the intro beat.
Recording session[edit]
"Ko-Ko" was recorded on November 26, 1945, New York City at Savoy Records (MG 12079), with Charlie Parker (alto saxophone), Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet and piano), Curley Russell (bass), and Max Roach (drums).[4] Other recordings at this session were "Billie's Bounce", "Warming Up a Riff", "Now's the Time", "Thriving on a Riff", and "Meandering". The album The Charlie Parker Story (Savoy Jazz) (1945) came out of this session[5]
[Duke Ellington also wrote and recorded a song called Ko-Ko in 1940 at Victor's studios in Chicago. The Duke Ellington Famous Orchestra, at that time, was completed by many good musicians as Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones, Rex Stewart, Barney Bigard, Johnny Hodges, Otto Hardwicke, Ben Webster and Harry Carney, added to the usual trombone section (Lawrence Brown, Juan Tizol and Joe Tricky Sam Nanton) and rhythm section (Fred Guy, Jimmy Blanton, Sonny Greer and Ellington himself). See the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz vol.III to listen at the first issue.]
There were two takes:
In both Takes the piece starts with a 32-bar introduction, split into four 8-bar phrases, each likely written by Gillespie:
- Bars 1-8 - Alto saxophone and trumpet in unison octaves
- Bars 9-16 - Brief trumpet solo
- Bars 17-24 - Brief saxophone solo
- Bars 25-32 - Alto saxophone and trumpet in thirds, then briefly in octaves
Following the intro in the first take Parker and Gillespie start to play the melody of "Cherokee". They are interrupted by someone clapping and whistling and shouting "You can't play that".
After the introduction in the second take are two 64-bar solos from Parker on the saxophone; each solo (or "chorus") follows the Thirty-two-bar form (AABA), except that the number of bars is augmented to 64, partly due to the extensive importance of solos in bebop music, and partly due to the extremely fast 300bpm tempo. It is an extremely virtuosic solo, incorporating fast quavers and formulaic improvisation. The second chorus of the solo opens with a two-bar quotation from the notably difficult clarinet piece "High Society", made famous by clarinettist Alphonse Picou.
After the solo from Parker is a 27-bar drum solo from drummer Sonny Greer, the slightly manic style of which is considered innovative in jazz. The drums for the piece are tuned higher than normal, which gives the solo a brighter, livelier feel.
The piece finishes with a 28-bar coda, integrating the main themes from the introduction and improvisation from Parker and Gillespie, and finally an imperfect cadence.

Features & Specifications
The GC230D is outfitted with an Intel Atom 230 (1.6GHz) processor soldered directly to the PCB, while at the heart of this board is the Intel 945GC chipset featuring the ICH7 south bridge. It appears that all desktop-based Atom motherboards use this same budget Core 2 chipset. This chipset has been around for over a year and a half now, which may be an issue depending on your expectations.
Despite of being a budget oriented product, the 945GC still uses a fair amount of power, and is the main source of heat on the GC230D. The Atom 230 uses a 533MHz FSB with 533MHz DDR2 memory, both of which are supported by the 945GC.
Then, where this chipset really lets us down is on the graphics front due to the use of the heavily underpowered Integrated GMA 950 graphics engine, which barely deserves the name. While the Intel GMA 950 graphics work fine for basic Windows Vista rendering with the Aero theme enabled, do not expect to play any 3D games.
The ICH7 south bridge used on this board was typical of the Pentium 4/Pentium M days as it was released back in 2005. The GC230D offers two of the four supported SATA ports, with the only expansion slot being a traditional PCI port. There is also a single IDE connector on-board, supporting two devices.
Gigabyte has included a Realtek 8101E chip for 100-base networking, which is a little disappointing. Those wanting to use the GC230D as a budget HTPC would have benefited from the additional bandwidth offered by a Gigabit network controller. The audio comes from another Realtek chip, the ALC662 offers 2/4/5.1-channel HD audio.
Other non-essential features, such as Wireless LAN and Firewire, are not present on the GC230D which is to be expected. The board supports up to 8 USB 2.0 ports - 4 on the I/O panel, 4 via the optional USB brackets.
The GC230D comes bundled with all the usual Gigabyte Windows-based applications such as @BIOS, Q-Flash, EasyTune, Xpress Recovery2, and Xpress Install. We consider this to be an important added value as they make using and updating the GC230D much easier than through the traditional methods.

Math Placement
Math Placement
Frequently Asked Questions
Does everyone have to take the math placement test?
Almost everyone. There are a very few specific exceptions listed on the page "
Who Needs It"?
Do the results of my math placement test ever expire?
Yes, if you are planning on using the results to satisfy the math prerequisite for a course you want to take. If you do not take that course within one year of passing the placement test at the required level, then you will need to take the placement test again and pass it at the required level.
Can I review my math when I arrive at MUM and take the math placement test later?
No. You are expected to review for the math placement test before you arrive at MUM. You will take the test shortly after you arrive, so there won't be time to review once you get here.
What's the best kind of calculator to bring to the test?
The tests are designed so that you don't need a calculator. You must do all calculations without a calculator. They aren't allowed. Cell phones are not allowed either.
If I don't intend to take any math courses except Geometry for the Artist or Infinity to satisfy the second-year distribution requirement, which don't have a math prerequisite, do I still have to take a placement test?
No, but you will need to sign a form that you accept placement into Math 051 Basic Mathematics (the lowest level).
If I intend to start at the beginning of the math sequence by taking the course Basic Mathematics, do I still have to take a placement test?
No, but you will need to sign a form that you accept placement into Math 051 Basic Mathematics (the lowest level).
If I passed a course in Calculus in high school, do I still have to take a placement test?
If I have taken a course equivalent to MUM's Basic Mathematics, Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Functions and Graphs 1, Functions and Graphs 2, Calculus 1, or Calculus 2 at another college, do I have to take a placement test?
Yes, if your major requires any mathematics courses or prerequisites, or if you intend to take any course with a mathematics prerequisite. The results of the math placement test take precedence over transfer credit at this level.
No, if the course you took elsewhere satisfies the math distribution requirement and your major requires no mathematics in addition to the distribution requirement.
If I don't do as well on the comprehensive test as I thought I could, can I study some more and take it again?
No. But you can study some more and take a further specific placement test for a specific course. You can take a specific placement test for any of the specific courses Math 051, 152, 153, 161, 162, but only once for each level. There are no additional tests for calculus.
I would like to study on my own and try to place higher than I did on my initial test. Does MUM provide tutors to help me do this?
No. MUM provides courses for you to review math you don't remember. It does not have a system of tutors specifically for math placement purposes. However, if there is a math course being taught currently that has a tutor after class, you are welcome to come and ask them questions. The students in the class take precedence if the tutor is very busy. If you would like to hire a private tutor, please ask Anne Dow for names and numbers.
What if I place lower than a course I took elsewhere on the placement test?
You can still count a course numbered Math 100 or above for your distribution requirement. However, this course cannot be used to satisfy the prerequisite for any course you plan to enroll for at MUM, nor can it be used to satisfy the mathematics requirements of a major or minor. If such a course is required, you have an opportunity to review the topics of the course and then take a specific placement test in that course. If you don't pass this specific test, the course will need to be taken again at MUM, because you need to be able to do mathematics at this level now in order to successfully complete the courses for which it is a prerequisite. This same rule applies to students who completed mathematics courses at MUM in the past and are returning after more than one year to finish their degree.
What is this distribution requirement in math?
MUM requires every undergraduate to take at least one math course while they are here. Specifically, 4 units of math at the level of Math 153 Intermediate Algebra or above. The course MGT 314 Statistics may be counted, but only if you were placed by the Mathematics Department into a level higher than Math 153.
I am a readmit student. I started my degree a few years ago and now I'm back. Do I need to take the placement test?
Yes, if you left more than one year ago. No, if you left within the past year.
What if I am sick on the day of the test and can't come? Can I take the test later?
Yes, there will be a time set for a test for those who are not able to come. It will be a week later, probably on the next Saturday afternoon. See the "
Schedule of Tests"
If I place high enough on the math placement test, will that count for my distribution requirement in math?
No. You need to actually take a course in mathematics at MUM, unless you have a course on your transcript from another accredited college at the level of Math 100 or above or AP credit. You cannot fulfill this requirement by taking a placement test.
If I place out of a course required for my major will that count as units towards my major?
Yes. The units for any course you place out of that is required for your major counts towards the total units required for that major, although the units will not count towards the overall total units required for graduation.
If I only place into Basic Mathematics or Elementary Algebra, does that mean I shouldn't pursue a math major?
Not at all. There have been students at MUM who started with Elementary Algebra and completed a math major. Starting with Basic Mathematics is also possible. Wherever you place, if you are interested in a math major, consult with the Mathematics Department about it.

One of the things we've been hearing from homeowners this year about purchasing replacement windows for their homes is NOT that they don't have the interest or intent to replace their old windows, but that they can't get the financing to buy them. This has been disheartening to many because if there has ever been a time to replace their old inefficient windows with new highly energy-efficient windows, it's NOW! We all know that heating and cooling costs continue to climb. And they know that the current $1,500 tax credit for replacing their windows will expire this December. Having energy-efficient windows installed this year would allow them to lower their home energy costs immediately.
Just think about the frigid weather we had this past winter throughout most of the country. Think about the weather this summer -- it's been one of the hottest on record.
So, we all know that replacing those old windows makes perfect sense. But what if the banks aren't willing to finance a home improvement loan? While banks are starting to lend money, it continues to be a challenge for many. It may not be as available as we'd like it to be, but it's better than it has been in quite a while.
As a solution, many Gorell dealers also offer financing from GE Money, and we're pleased to now announce the addition of another finance programs from a solid and reputable financing company, AFC First. Both GE Money and AFC First specialize in home improvement loans for energy-efficiency upgrades. Gorell dealers have already begun to sign up with AFC First so that they can offer homeowners another source of financing, but please ask them about these programs when discussing Gorell windows and doors with them. With financing opportunities like these becoming available, we're confident homeowners will have the opportunities to have windows installed before the end of the year.

Comments about Wolf Mama Adult Men's Costume:
My boyfriend bought this for a Halloween party we are going to next month. We walked all around the store trying to think of a cute couples costume and suddenly we came upon this. We thought it would be so funny to be red riding hood and the big bad wolf. When we tried our costumes on in the store the whole staff got a kick out of him wearing it. They said they had never seen anyone try it on and it was awesome! We are so excited to wear our costumes next month we know everyone is going to "howl" laughing!!
