Detailed Description:
It is widely recognized that suppression of the renin-angiotensin system ameliorates progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and that CKD is an important risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease. However, it has not been fully clarified if amelioration of CKD leads to the lower incidence of cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the angiotensin II receptor antagonist valsartan, in combination with conventional antihypertensive therapy, will ameliorate progression of both CKD and cardiovascular disease. The primary outcome is courses of renal and cardiac function. The secondary outcome is a composite of a doubling of serum creatinine concentration, end-stage renal disease, myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 20 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- CKD with serum creatinine more than 2.0 mg/dl
- Blood pressure more than 130/85 mmHg
- 20 years old or above
Exclusion Criteria:
- End-stage renal disease with maintenance dialysis

An orthodox Jew is praying at the western wall in Jerusalem. The wall also known as the wailing wall or the "Kotel" is the most sacred and holy place for jews. This is the last remaining wall from the old temple that was destroyed over 2000 years ago. This person is using the old testament bible. The black outfit is typical to the orthodox jews.

I'm sitting in the airport lounge at LHR (London Heathrow) and other than a small kitchen fire in a restaurant here it's not very exciting. I've been hacking today though .. and now kickoff shows suspend and hibernate entries in the Leave tab if the computer supports them (and they work =), there's initial support for desktop context (aka "activity") in libplasma and i'm working on the 800x480 shell for the maemo and an improvement to PanelSvg for visual blending between a panel and a visual extension (inspired by thinking on the N810 stuff).
The workspace context via Nepomuk is interesting: it will allow other apps to tag data for a given desktop context, get what the current active context is, create new contexts, etc in a way that will allow plasma to integrate and coordinate with extra-plasma concepts, such as contacts that are appropriate to a specific project. The idea is that you should be able to tag a contact with a project/activity/context and when you switch to that activity in plasma, then the contacts plasmoid should optionally show only the related contacts. =)
I've committed a couple of things to svn, but most of it will be committed after my flight home as I'll be working on the airplane to finish these things up. Akademy did it's job, for sure: I'm energized and hacking away! =)
I noticed while sitting here that bugs.kde.org was upgraded to Bugzilla 3 as well! It seems snappy and responsive, though there are still some issues with the theme (no saved searches in the footer, lacking colours in the search lists, etc). There are lots of nice improvements to be seen already though, and I'm sure that the remaining issues will sort out over the next week or two. Great work to all involved! =)

Now, this is really innovation! (and integration too). This would be wonderful... for example I can put in one virtual desktop/activity an IM plasmoid, a new mail notifier etc etc and tag one activity as "work" and the other as "friends", then, depending on how I tag people I know (workmates, friends etc) their messages pop up only in the correct activity/virtual desktop so I can keep them clearly divided when I'm working.
This would be simply wonderful, I'm looking forward for this! Great job!

Lots of big climbs, actually the first 61 miles took me over 6300 ft of climbing. Climbs ranged from 3 miles 8% grades to 1/2 mile 22% grade. This century took me the longest of every century I have ever done. I also had 20 miles of in your face head winds starting at 73 miles. So what it's worth a good hard ride with over 7700 ft of total climbing. First stop at 63 miles to fill 4 bottles of water. Then 1 stop to rinse eyes and 3 stops at red lights.

Welcome Back JC!
To the members of DWT.com:
Those of you that have ever read Miguel Cervantes Don Quijote de la Mancha know in reality the knight errant was in fact Cervantes living out his fantasies in written form. Well, over the past month or so I too have been tilting at windmills and seeing and fighting things that did not exist--to my detriment. Like Don Quijote, in the end I too came to the realization that what matters in life is really friendship and that people will suffer fools. While the real Jiminy Cricket was no fool, me, myself and I certainly have been, whether it be/was as Jiminy Cricket, Triviateer, or Geppetto. I ask you to forgive this old fool and his recent foolishness and that I can resume being who I really am--Jiminy Cricket, warts and all, and let bygones be bygones.

The #1 Thing that STRIKES me when I READ this STUFF: Is the way these "Scientificos"...ALWAYS Gush with Loving Admiration....whenever they Roll Out their Latest NIGHTMARE Technology, which will Inevitably be USED by "Those in Charge:....to Subdue and Destroy Human Populations...Here in the US, AND around the World.
Whether it's "Operation Trapwire", "RFID" Chips, GPS Tracking in ALL Smartphones, or Robotics, AI, Face Scanning, Laser Death Rays....YOU Name It; they NEVER Seem to COMPREHEND....that Their "Work"...is NOT...a "Good" Thing. They are the Technicians and Engineers....of the END of Human Civilization !!!
After ALL: David Rockefeller, Kissinger, Perle, Rubin, the Rothschilds, the Royals and the Vatican....Couldn't POSSIBLY...Pull OFF their Stated GOAL to Reduce the Human Population on Earth by Nearly 7 BILLION People,...IF they Didn't Have all these MAD Scientists around playing with Gene Splicing, Nano Technology to Inject into Humans, Low Frequency Climate Disruption, and ALL the OTHER - SATANIC Technologies they have been Building to MOVE against Us for 40-50 Years or so !!!
Without the HAPPY Complicity of the Researchers, Engineers and Technicians, They would Not - HAVE GMO Food, Chem Trails, Spyware you Can't even IMAGINE,...AND the Weapons to Exterminate us they will Be USING Eventually !!!
IF...YOU are a Scientist or a Lab Technician and you are Working on a "Ultra Top Secret"...Project for the "Powers that BE", Chances are VERY Good that you are HELPING the Evil Anti-Human Forces....to EVENTUALLY - Murder - BILLIONS of Human Beings !!!!
THINK...About THAT !

Green Caye RV Park
[ 3/10 ]
Mostly permanent residents in this trailer park, with very few RV'ers, therefore we would not call it an RV Park. Pull through sites have narrow concrete pads which are cracked, and poorly patched, as are the roads in that area. Many sites are unkempt with unregistered trailers in disrepair, with items, trash, etc, stored under/around the trailers. Vehicles are parked on the grass, and sticking out in the roadways. There is no specified pet walking area so watch where you walk on the grass. Don't plan on sleeping past 5:30 or 6 am as the workers are on their way out. WiFi is virtually nonexistent and there is no cable TV.
Aransas Pass, Texas
Ransom Road RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
This is an excellent park and is well landscaped and well maintained with concrete interior roads, concrete pads and clean attractive facilities. I would rate this RV Park a 10 if WiFi wasn't so erratic. The park was quiet, except for a few workers living there who leave early in the morning. The staff was friendly. Definitely the place to stay in that area.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Local temperatures have been above 90 degrees five days this year.
Four of those days have been in the past week, and yet another was being predicted for today.
The temperatures have been like a stepladder of misery.
Monday's high in Charleston hit 91, followed by a Tuesday high of 92, a Wednesday high of 93 and then a Thursday high of 94.
"We've continually gotten one degree warmer from July 15th through today," said Tim Axford, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Charleston.
The trend should break today, when a high of around 90 is forecast.
Sweet relief?
"I guess you could call it that," Axford said.
See also:Extreme temps are dangerous for dogs
The long stretch of sizzle prompted the National Weather Service to issue a heat advisory for much of the region.
"The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible," the weather service statement warned.
The warning continued, "Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside."
The heat wave is part of a scorcher stretching across the central and eastern United States.
About 130 million people are sweltering through the heat wave in the Midwest and Northeast this week, AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski told USA Today.
Heat advisories and warnings are in place from the Dakotas to New England.
In Charleston, the heat prompted county officials to hand out water in Slack Plaza near the Kanawha Valley Regional Transit Mall around lunchtime Thursday.
KRT also parked one of its buses at the transit mall to function as a cooling center.

Acetazolamide, sometimes sold under the trade name Diamox in some countries, is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that is used for the medical treatment of glaucoma, epileptic seizure, idiopathic intracranial hypertension (a.k.a. pseudotumor cerebri), altitude sickness, cystinuria, periodic paralysis, central sleep apnea, and dural ectasia. Acetazolamide is a diuretic, and it is available as a generic drug in the United States. Diamox is now available as Diamox Sequels in the United States since the original product is no longer made or sold there.
Mechanism of action[edit]
Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It can be used for the medical treatment of moderate to severe metabolic or respiratory alkalosis. Acetazolamide does this by interfering with bicarbonate (HCO3-) reabsorption in the kidneys, thereby reacidifying the blood – hence alkalyzing the urine.
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the first part of the following reversible reaction in which carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are converted to carbonic acid (H2CO3) and vice-versa (the second half happens spontaneously, favouring production of H+ + HCO3-):
In the kidney tubules, locally secreted hydrogen ions normally combine with filtered bicarbonate (HCO3-) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid in turn is normally acted upon by carbonic anhydrase, leading to formation of CO2. As CO2 rapidly leaves the tubules by diffusing across cell membranes, the above reaction normally runs shifted strongly to the left (i.e. reversed), and more bicarbonate can be continuously reabsorbed from the preurine. However, in the presence of acetazolamide, carbonic anhydrase is inhibited and carbonic acid levels build up. The inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in turn leads to a slowing of the reverse reaction and a decrease in the body's ability to reabsorb serum bicarbonate, resulting in urinary bicarbonate wasting. This leads to a decreased ability to exchange Na+ for H+ in the presence of acetazolamide (in proximal convoluted tubules of kidney) resulting in a mild diuresis.[1] By contrast, the H+ that is also present in the lumen is reabsorbed via an alternative pathway along with Cl-; it then passes into the bloodstream, leading to hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.[2] This effect can also be used for therapeutic correction of alkalosis seen in altitude sickness or other forms of respiratory alkalosis.
Acetazolamide is often used in the treatment of various diseases.
Acetazolamide has been used for the treatment of sufferers of glaucoma. When used to treat glaucoma, acetazolamide inhibits production of HCO3-. Normally, it is the production of HCO3- which draws Na+ into the eye; water follows by osmosis to form the aqueous humour. In glaucoma treatment, the goal is often to reduce the intraocular pressure and acetazolamide does this by reducing production of aqueous humour.[3]
In epilepsy, the main use of acetazolamide is in absence seizures and myoclonic seizures.[4] It can be used in both episodic ataxia types 1 and 2 (although the mechanisms are presumed to be different between the two).
In catamenial epilepsy, an increase in seizure frequency around menses, acetazolamide can be an adjunct to an anti-seizure medication regimen to aid in decreasing seizure frequency around menses.
Acetazolamide is also used to decrease the production of cerebrospinal fluid in idiopathic intracranial hypertension as well as hydrocephalus to delay surgical intervention[5] and has shown efficacy in some forms of periodic paralysis.[6]
Acetazolamide is administered in nuclear medicine before studies of the brain with the radioisotope technetium-99m to increase the specificity of the study for brain death (?).
Marfan's syndrome[edit]
It's been demonstrated in drug trials to relieve symptoms associated with dural ectasia in individuals with Marfan's Syndrome.[7]
Central sleep apnea[edit]
A 2012 review and meta-analysis found that there was "limited supporting evidence" but that acetazolamide "may be considered" for the treatment of central (as opposed to obstructive) sleep apnea.[8]
Acute mountain sickness[edit]
To reduce the incidence of Acute Mountain Sickness acetazolamide is sometimes taken prophylactically, anywhere between 125 milligrams (mg) to 1000 mg per day,[9][10] starting a few days before going to higher altitudes. Such use is recommended for those ascending from sea level to 3000 meters (9800 feet) in one day, or for those ascending more than 600 meters (2000 feet) per day once above an altitude of 2500 meters (8200 feet).[11][12] Also, prophylactic use is recommended for those with a significant history of acute mountain sickness.
Acetazolamide forces the kidneys to excrete bicarbonate, the conjugate base of carbonic acid. By increasing the amount of bicarbonate excreted in the urine, the blood becomes more acidic.[12] As the body equates acidity of the blood to its CO2 concentration, artificially acidifying the blood fools the body into thinking it has an excess of CO2, and it excretes this imaginary excess CO2 by deeper and faster breathing, which in turn increases the amount of oxygen in the blood.[13][14] At high altitudes, climbers hyperventilate in response to lower oxygen levels. The hyperventilation results in reduced carbon dioxide (an acid) and a respiratory alkalosis. The normal physiologic response to a respiratory alkalosis is for the kidneys to increase excretion of bicarbonate (a base) to compensate for the loss of carbon dioxide. This kidney response takes a few days, however acetazolamide in a sense accelerates this process by leading to a more rapid renal bicarbonate loss (metabolic acidosis).
Acetazolamide is not an immediate cure for acute mountain sickness; rather, it speeds up part of the acclimatization process which in turn helps to relieve symptoms.[9][15] This may take up to a day or two, and requires waiting without any further rapid ascent. It is often advisable to descend if even mild acute mountain sickness is experienced. If serious sickness is encountered, descent to a lower elevation is considered to be mandatory unless other circumstances present greater danger.
Congestive Heart Failure[edit]
For diuresis in congestive heart failure, the starting dose is usually 250 to 375 mg once daily in the morning (five mg per kg). If, after an initial response, the patient fails to continue to lose edema fluid, do not increase the dose but allow for kidney recovery by skipping medication for a day.
Acetazolamide yields best diuretic results when given on alternate days, or for two days alternating with a day of rest.
Failures in therapy may be due to overdosage or too frequent dosage. The use of Acetazolamide does not eliminate the need for other therapy such as digitalis, bed rest, and salt restriction.
Drug-induced edema[edit]
Recommended dosage is 250 to 375 mg of Acetazolamide once a day for one or two days, alternating with a day of rest.
Note: The dosage recommendations for glaucoma and epilepsy differ considerably from those for congestive heart failure, since the first two conditions are not dependent upon carbonic anhydrase inhibition in the kidney which requires intermittent dosage if it is to recover from inhibitory effect of the therapeutic agent.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
Acetazolamide should not be taken by individuals if:
- They have sickle cell anemia
- They are allergic to sulfa medications
- They are allergic to any carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
- They have liver or kidney disease
- They have adrenal gland failure (i.e. Addison's disease)
- They are pregnant or are nursing mothers
Common side effects of using this drug include numbness and tingling in the fingers and toes, and taste alterations (parageusia), especially for carbonated drinks. Also possible gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea; polyuria, and occasional instances of drowsiness and confusion. Some may also experience blurred vision but this usually disappears shortly after stopping the medication. Acetazolamide also increases the risk of developing calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate kidney stones. Everyone will experience more frequent urination as a result of using acetazolamide. One should drink more fluids than usual to prevent dehydration and headaches. Acetazolamide prolongs the effects of amphetamines and related drugs. Acetazolamide also causes metabolic acidosis.

Background and objectives:
The Eastern Cape is characterized by uncoordinated and inefficient spatial development as a result of dispersed resources, coupled with a demand for land and access to perceived economic opportunities. Municipalities have initiated Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) which guide and coordinate planning in order to prevent a continuation of past settlement patterns and fragmentation of limited resources. The Provincial Department of Housing, Local Government and Traditional Affairs is charged with the responsibility of preparing a Provincial Spatial Development Plan (PSDP) to guide public and private sector investment initiatives within the context of an efficient and effective land use management and administrative system. The objective of the project is to review and refine the 2003 PSDP and to establish appropriate institutional mechanisms to promote spatial and land use management at provincial and municipal levels.
Activities: The main activities are:
Results: The results achieved so far have been:

Three Ponds, Estate of the Day
Filed under: Estates
Three Ponds in Bridgehampton, New York has crossed my radar before (it's hard to miss a home with a price tag like this) but I've never featured it as an estate of the day. The estate offers 60 acres of farmland in this prime part of New York. The grounds includes a golf course, English cottage garden, a crabapple allee, a lily walk, vegetable gardens as well as hydrangea, butterfly and rose gardens, swimming pool with a pavillion, grass tennis court and of course, three ponds. Other features include two three-car garages, a two-story pro shop, 2nd flor glof club with a bar, separate staff quarters, a three-bedroom guest house, an orangeries, barn and other outbuildings. The 20,000 square-foot main house has seven bedrooms and 12 baths.
This home has been on the market since 2003 when it was listed at $75 million. It's been on the market for $68 million for a while. Why no sale? In 2006 Steven Gaines writing for NY Magazine speculated that the homes distance from the ocean and location near a busy area count against it. At the time the article said that "whoever does write the check will probably pay half the asking price." It's been two years since then and while the price has come down it's nowhere near half. I have to wonder if this property's massive amount of land works against it. A full 18 hole golf course and all those gardens require a huge amount of maintenance especially for a home that may not be a full-time residence.

Official Sears Clearance Thread II - post Sears finds/deals here
Posted 08 September 2012 - 03:44 PM
Posted 08 September 2012 - 04:41 PM
I still preferred when Sears was it's own seperate entity from Kmart and vice versa. Only reasons I say that are 1) the clusterfuck that clearance has become since he who shall remain unnamed nuked the out of the program in BOTH chains AND made the prices highly YMMV across both chains and 2) Now if the main corporation goes kablooie, BOTH chains are in danger of going down with it.man, universally, this place (sears) is one confused department store. went in this am, picked up a pretty nice haul (the charleston, sc location), all clearance games were 30% off. portal 2 (about $20.00 after discount), nhl 12 :ps3:/:360: (about @ 20.00 after discount), mario sports mix (about $28.00 after discount) and the rest that others have mentioned (mlb 2k11 , homefront , darksiders @ $4.97 before discount, fracture @ $2.97 prior to discount) but right as I was checking out, the Manager ran up to the Clearance Bin and started yanking the damn signs down, "...these are all just gonna fly off the racks...", dude was crazy. no price drops in months and he thinks that since one CAG came in and picked up 6-7 games, it's all Chicken Little. folks it was comical (and something you probably would've had to be there to appreciate) but reiterates what a wacky, wacky place Sears (and Sears Holding) is/has been/always will be.

Looked like nice gifts for my little nephews so i picked up 2, also had these Ion Video COnverters for $11.97:
Didn't get any of these, but some here may appreciate the info.
Posted 08 September 2012 - 08:38 PM
Deus Ex rang at $9.97
Bayonetta rang at $9.72
Darksiders rang at $9.97
Metroid Other M didn't ring up at all, manager gave it to me for $9.97
After the 35% I paid a little under $6.50 for each title. Great finds, ended up flipping Deus Ex and Bayonetta to BB for a small profit with the 100% and GCU and kept Darksiders/Other M (all BB were sold out during the blowout 1.0 so I finally have a copy!)
Also helped that I got $10 for free on my shop my rewards card. Those who are rewards members check your e-mails to see if you got the $10 as well! E-mail said it expires 09/10. Strange too since I got $10 a week or two ago as well.
We can learn as much, if not more, from bad games as we can from good ones.
That's my justification and I'm sticking to it.

At one, I found an employee dismantling what was left of the games section. I asked outright if they were sending it all back or putting the stuff on clearence. Unsurprisingly he said it was all going back.
At the other location the damage was already done. Everything was gone except a single cabinet with the expected kids' and AAA titles.
It was fun while it lasted. I got some great deals over the last few years. Sears clearence, ye will be missed.
Posted 08 September 2012 - 09:57 PM
Sears in northeast has a clearance section? I went there like 3 weeks ago and they didn't have anything on clearance.
They used to have a couple of wire bins in the isles the last time I went maybe 2 months ago. They had a half a dozen PSP-3000 for about $75. Since most of the clearance has been sold everything else is back in the glass cabinets and on the back shelf along the wall. There is no clearance section however many of their games are Clearance tagged. Yesterday I picked up from Hurst:
Homefront $4.97 (1 left)
Enchanted Arms w/ Novella $4.97 (1 left)
Darksiders $9.97 (last copy)
Posted 08 September 2012 - 11:13 PM
They finally decided to start dropping some of the hand helds though.
Red Nintendo DS XLi $89.97
PSP core system $97.49
Half tempted by the DS, but I'm not sure how much I would actually use it. I'll just hold off.
And now I present Kate Upton doing the Cat Daddy:

I should just restore it and offer it on here for like $80 or something. At least get it out of the house and make a lil scratch on it.

Did you see any other notable PS3 games on clearance?
Killzone 3 should be $9.97
Posted 09 September 2012 - 11:32 AM
Not to get off topic too much but I have gout too. People dont understand the excruciating and debilitating pain that comes with that!That sounds like me with the PSP Go, Invicta. I used it a TON when I was laid up with a bad case of the gout about 3-4 months ago, but if I've turned the one I cracked open on for more than 30 minutes in the last month then it's a miracle.

Honestly I'm surprised ANY Sears clearanced stuff out like they did when it could have been sent in and sent back out to KMarts.
On the books they are considered seperate companies (before being compiled into the finacials) and would require a sale/purchase between entites, if the volume is high enough would require disclosure, tax effects, and probably more administrative + labor costs than it is worth.

I saw a handwritten tag for Skyward Sword at $24.97 at the Desert Sky Sears in Phoenix but passed since I already had a $15 copy from Best Buy.
How did IATCG get banned?
Because he's a bad Mofo !!!
Posted 11 September 2012 - 01:59 PM
Silly internet drama. It's only temporary, so he'll be back soon enough.How did IATCG get banned?
Posted 11 September 2012 - 02:37 PM
Oh well back to the clearance discussion.
Posted 11 September 2012 - 06:30 PM
Posted 11 September 2012 - 09:48 PM
Yeah, and some other guy. If you check his post history in the @Gamer thread, you can get an idea of what went down.Was it some more bromance between him and confoosius?
And dammit, I keep forgetting to go to Sears to see if they might possibly have something besides Minute To Win It and Where The Wild Things Are on sale for once. By the time I remember, my wife is already at work with the van.

I'll be good if I happen to catch the deals on the extraneous items not in the cabinet, but more than likely I'll miss out on the bulk of it. When games are inside the cases I always feel safer they will still be there for the monthly / random drops.

Last updated 10-22-13 at 1:40 pm Eastern.
The following information is provided for any members of the general public who may be in attendance:
This meeting is being held to gather information to help the committee conduct its study. This committee will examine the information and material obtained during this, and other public meetings, in an effort to inform its work. Although opinions may be stated and lively discussion may ensue, no conclusions are being drawn at this time and no recommendations will be made. In fact, the committee will deliberate thoroughly before writing its draft report. Moreover, once the draft report is written, it must go through a rigorous review by experts who are anonymous to the committee, and the committee then must respond to this review with appropriate revisions that adequately satisfy the Academy's Report Review committee and the chair of the NRC before it is considered an NRC report. Therefore, observers who draw conclusions about the committee's work based on today's discussions will be doing so prematurely.
Furthermore, individual committee members often engage in discussion and questioning for the specific purpose of probing an issue and sharpening an argument. The comments of any given committee member may not necessarily reflect the position he or she may actually hold on the subject under discussion, to say nothing of that person's future position as it may evolve in the course of the project. Any inference about an individual's position regarding findings or recommendations in the final report are therefore also premature.
This meeting will be recorded by the NRC. Please be aware that by entering the area, you consent to your voice being recorded for use by the NRC for the purpose of note taking. If you do not wish to be subject to being recorded, please do not enter the area.

05/25/2012 - When flooding caused their basement wall to collapse last summer, Lori Fruk and her husband, Steven, moved out of their Lansing, Mich., house and took up temporary residence with her parents six blocks away. Fruk filled out a change-of-address card with the Post Office and turned her attention to salvaging her home.Then she got kicked off the voter rolls. Although she didn't apply for one, Fruk received a new voter registration card from the Lansing city clerk's office. Two days later, she received a cancellation notice—at her parents' Lansing home—saying that she no longer lived in the city. (To add insult to injury, that notice contained an incorrect address for her parents, but was delivered nonetheless.) "I contacted the city clerk to ask why they took it upon themselves to change my address," Fruk said. "They said there was a precinct change, so they pulled the change-of-address cards and they assumed it was permanent."Fruk persuaded the city to re-register her using her permanent address at her flooded house. But by that time, the state changed her driver's license to her "new" address at her parents' house.Ultimately, Fruk's situation was resolved—though she hasn't tested it by voting. Still, it lays bare a broader problem faced by cities and states and citizens across the country.The nation's voter rolls contain names of millions of people who are not eligible to cast ballots and often omit eligible voters who have registered. The result is confusion at the polls, and significant and unnecessary expenses to local, county and state governments as elections officials grapple with outdated, usually paper-based systems. Earlier this year, the Pew Center on the States' Election Initiatives report, Inaccurate, Costly and Inefficient, found that approximately 24 million voter registrations in the United States—one of every eight—are no longer valid or contain significant inaccuracies. The report, which generated widespread attention, also revealed that:

DIY Wedding Speech Bingo
For those of you not from Ireland it's becoming every more popular here to play games during the speeches. This probably evolved because Irish men like to talk. A lot. And they all say the same things (think about it!). I've been to quite a few weddings over the past number of years and it always amazes me how at each wedding there's a new game or variation, and every one involves betting. There's "how long will the speeches take" – a book is opened (often by the bestman) about how long the speeches will take in total; "Pass the glass" – everyone at a table puts €5 into a glass and it's passed around whenever "thank" is said; And now we have a new one for you – or rather we have a new version of something that is often played: Wedding Speech Bingo.
Downloadable Wedding Speech Bingo
We've put together a little PDF pack for you to download and print for your guests (they're going to do it anyway, might as well be in on the joke) – there are 8 different cards using the same basic phrases in different combinations. And here's the lowdown on how you could organise it:
- Download the pdf below and print off as many times as required – cut each page in half (pack contains 8 bingo cards)
- Put out a card per table (or more if you want) and a pen for each (before dinner – it will give people a talking point)
- Arrange a couple of prizes (these can be joke prizes or a bottle of champagne for the table, that sort of thing)
- At the beginning of the speeches the Best man should announce how it's going to work:
- Guests should keep an ear out for the phrases on the card
- When they hear one they should mark it off on the card
- First table to get a line across – gets a prize
- First table to get a line down – gets a prize
- Anyone who completes the grid – gets a prize
Don't be put off by people shouting bingo in the middle of the speeches – it will add to the fun and laughter. Though you should warn any nervous speakers about it ahead of time (can't see this really being a problem in Ireland – we could all talk the hind legs off a donkey in fairness). And away you go…
And do let us know what happens!

Bret Stephens, writing in the Jerusalem Post, points to improving coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict in America's mainstream press. He identifies several reasons for the change, including public pressure by pro-Israel groups as well as President Bush's aggressive pro-democracy position. I think an equally important factor has been the unrelenting critique emanating from America's non-mainstream media, especially internet-based news sources. The dominant media simply can't monopolize discourse as they could only a few years ago, and when they take positions that are unsupportable, they get hammered. I think it is impossible to overestimate the complacency of mainstream reporters and editors; they would have been happy to continue reporting the Middle East as a case of peace-process devotees in both Israel and Palestine being undermined by "extremists" on both sides, had they been able to get away with it.

Only Natural Nopal Cactus 1000 -- 1000 mg - 90 Veggie Capsules
Surprisingly good!
I had read on the health benefits of the fruit nopal cactus from the net and found a few brands of nopal cactus in capsules sold at Vitacost. I ordered a bottle of this brand and found it to be helpful in mintaining my blood sugar level. My husband tried and he too found the product effective. I have just ordered 6 bottles for both us as shipping took a while to reach us in Singapore.

Not chemical-based, so overall a WINNNER.
The Nopal Cactus 1000 is the next best thing to the fresh prickly pear, which I have been consuming to manage my blood glucose. All the more that it is not chemical-based, so overall a WINNER. Thanks, Vitacost!
