[JURIST] Thai Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat [official profile; Nation backgrounder] demoted Police Chief Gen. Patcharawat Wongsuwan to an inactive position within the Prime Minister's office, according to media reports Friday. Patcharawat's removal comes a day after the Prime Minister declared a state of emergency [Financial Times report] because of continuing political protests [Bangkok Post materials] at two airports, Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang [official websites], in the capital Bangkok. The People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) [advocacy website, in Thai; advocacy statement, in English] initiated the protests at the airports earlier this week as part of an ongoing effort to bring down Somchai's government. No reason was given for Patcharawat's removal, but it is believed that he was not cooperating with the government's efforts to end the protests. The Thai News Agency has more. China Daily has additional coverage. PAD protests have been ongoing throughout the year, based on its disapproval of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. Somchai is the brother-in-law of Thaksin, who was ousted in military coup in 2006. Somchai took over as prime minister earlier this month after the Constitutional Court of Thailand [official website] ruled that then-prime minister Samak Sundaravej [BBC profile] had violated the constitution [JURIST report] by accepting payment for his appearance on a television cooking program. Critics claim that Somchai is just a proxy for Thaksin, who remains in exile while being tried in absentia for corruption.
[JURIST] The European Commission (EC) [official website] Thursday called on Germany [press release] to modify its Volkswagen anti-takeover law within two months or else face referral of the matter to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) [official website]. The law, created in 1960 in order to privatize Volkswagen AG (VW) [corporate website], was aimed at protecting the automaker from hostile takeovers by giving public authorities automatic representation on the VW board, instituting a 20 percent voting cap, and allowing a 20 percent blocking minority. The law was revised [JURIST report] in May, but the provision allowing the 20 percent blocking minority was left in place. The EC disputes the clause as it allows the German state of Lower Saxony [official website], which holds a 20.1 percent stake in VW, to block major business decisions. Also on Thursday, a German court upheld [AFP report] the 20 percent blocking minority provision against a challenge by Porsche SE [corporate website, in German]. The ruling is seen as setback to Porsche's attempted takeover of Europe's largest automaker. Deutsche Welle has more. Xinhua has additional coverage.The EC initially challenged the law in 2005. The ECJ ruled [JURIST report] in October 2007 that a previous version of the law was illegal because it limited "the free movement of capital" and discouraged foreign direct investment in Germany. The EC has filed or has threatened to file similar suits against Spain and its energy companies, Italy and highway company Autosrade SpA, and Poland for intervening in Italy's UniCredit SpA business in Poland.
[JURIST] Moscow Military District Court judge Yevgeny Zubov Wednesday refused to recuse himself from the trial of three men accused of involvement in the murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya [BBC obituary; JURIST news archive]. The Russian Prosecutor Generals Office [official website, in Russian] had requested a new judge [JURIST report] claiming that Zubov had violated procedural rules. Last week Zubov declared the trial would be open to the public in accordance with the wishes of Politkovskaya's family, then closed it [JURIST reports] due to alleged fears by members of the jury. When these were publicly denied, he opened the trial again [JURIST report]. Under court rules, only a judge himself can make a decision to leave a case. AP has more. On Thursday, members of Politkovsakaya's family testified that she had received regular threats against her life. The trial is now in recess [RIA Novosti report] until December 1.Sergey Khadzhikurbanov and brothers Dzhabrail and Ibragim Makhmudov, all from Chechnya, were arrested [JURIST report] in connection with the killing in August 2007. The primary suspect, Rustam Makhmudov, also from Chechnya, has yet to be captured, but Russian authorities have said he is hiding in Western Europe. On Tuesday, defense lawyers announced that court documents would show that Politkovskaya's murder was ordered by an unnamed Russian politician [RIA Novosti report]. Politkovskaya, a reporter for the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta [official website] widely known for her stories about human rights abuses by Russian troops in Chechnya, was murdered [JURIST report] after returning to her Moscow apartment building in October 2006.
[JURIST] The Mexican Senate [official website, in Spanish] on Tuesday approved [official record] a bill [materials, in Spanish] that would amend the General Law of Health [text, in Spanish] to allow terminally ill patients to refuse medical treatment. The bill passed with 84 votes in favor and only one abstention. Under the new law, a patient who has an incurable, irreversible disease and a life expectancy prognosis of less than six months may exercise the right by raising the case in front of a hospital bioethics committee. The patients family may alternatively assert the right if the patient is incapacitated. The laws provisions ensure that the patient will receive palliative treatment that does not delay or speed death, but will ease physical and emotional pain and discomfort. Although the treatments described by the law are known as passive euthanasia, the senators were careful to distance themselves from the term by characterizing [AP report] the law as one respecting patients dignity and autonomy. La Jornada has local coverage, in Spanish.The initiative for the law stems from the Mexican Health Department's 2007 proposal [text, DOC, in Spanish] that measures should be created to respect patients' autonomy about treatment when they are terminally ill. In November 2007, the Mexico City Legislative Assembly (ALDF) [official website, in Spanish] approved a similar measure called the Law of Anticipated Will, which allows patients to determine in advance the treatment they wish to receive if terminally ill or incapacitated. The present initiative was supported [El Observador report, in Spanish ] by the Catholic Church in Mexico from its initial stages in the ALDF, in contrast to a law decriminalizing abortion [JURIST report] that was passed last year.

Radiation surrounding Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant has increased 18-fold following a report last month that radioactive water had leaked into the ground around the plant, which was badly damaged in a 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Tokyo Electric Power Co., which owns the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, reports that radiation around the site is at 1,800 millisieverts per hour, a level that Reuters says is "enough to kill an exposed person in four hours."
Previously, the utility, also known as Tepco, said the leaking water was at around 100 millisieverts per hour.

It's Sunday morning at the Cowboy Church of Santa Fe County, N.M. You know you're there because of the chuck wagon parked by the highway.
You couldn't find a more nonreligious-looking building. The church is a charmless metal warehouse on a concrete slab. Inside, the altar is decorated like a set from a 1950s western — complete with saddles, hats, boots, a lasso and wagon wheel.
The band has just kicked off with "I Think God Must Be a Cowboy at Heart," and about 30 people in folding chairs are tapping their feet.

Secretary of State John Kerry says that tests have shown evidence of Syria's use of the chemical agent sarin in an attack on the opposition last month that the White House has blamed on the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
"I can share with you today that blood and hair samples that have come to us through an appropriate chain of custody from East Damascus, from first responders, it has tested positive for signatures of sarin," Kerry told CNN on Sunday.

President Obama said Saturday he had decided that the U.S. should take military action against Syria in response to its use of chemical weapons, but that he will seek a congressional authorization for the action that could come "tomorrow, or next week or one month from now."
Speaking from the Rose Garden, the president said he believed that he had the authority to act without Congress, but said, "I know the country will be stronger if we take this course."
100 years ago, give or take a year, according to whom you are speaking, the Smithsonian sent an artist out to different reservations to make busts of Native Americans, the thinking being that these were a "vanishing people" and should be preserved for posterity.
Then, these busts were forgotten, becoming just more acquisitions for the Smithsonian Institution's vast holdings.
Several Native American tribes across Oklahoma are holding celebrations this weekend to recognize their culture and heritage.
In Tahlequah, the Cherokee Nation is hosting the Cherokee National Holiday. The holiday commemorates the signing of the 1839 Cherokee Constitution. The event runs through Sunday and will feature arts and crafts, softball and basketball tournaments, fireworks and more.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said after touring an interchange redesign project in Oklahoma City that the project is an example of investing in America.
Foxx joined Gov. Mary Fallin, Sen. Jim Inhofe and Oklahoma Secretary of Transportation in touring the Interstate 44/I-235/ Broadway Extension interchange project in north Oklahoma City on Friday.
The interchange redesign is the second phase of a seven-part project to improve the interchange that the Oklahoma Department of Transportation says has about 100,000 vehicles on it each day.
Chad Jordan volunteered in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, but seeing the state of infrastructure, sanitation conditions, and the lack of financial services after decades and billions of dollars of humanitarian aid affected him even more than the temblor's destruction.
"It's really been used for projects that are corrupt," Jordan says. "It doesn't really go toward projects that are really sustaining people and focusing on business."
President Barack Obama says he hasn't made a final decision about a military strike against Syria. But he says he's considering a limited and narrow action in response to a chemical weapons attack that he says Syria'sgovernment carried out last week.
"We don't know how hard they're going to hit [President Bashar] Assad, but clearly they're going to hit Assad," says Joshua Landis, a leading Syria watcher and the director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma. "What Obama articulated very clearly is that we can hit him hard enough to dissuade him from using chemical weapons again. So it's worth it to try to extend that and punish Assad and make him think twice about using again."
Obama says that attack was a challenge to the world and threatens U.S. national security.
The city of Moore and state of Oklahoma will receive nearly $37 million in federal aid to help recover from the May and June tornadoes and storms that killed dozens of people and caused damage estimated at more than $1 billion.

SlideShare Test: Which Format Gets the Most Views?
<< by Renee Revetta on February 25th, 2011
A few weeks ago, Mark Browner did a webinar about Google AdWords Editor. As usual, we shared the recording on SlideShare. However, this time we decided to upload the recording in 3 different formats: regular slides, slides with audio (Slidecast) and a video. With the same amount of promotion, 3 weeks after the webinar I checked up on the stats. I was curious whether people would want the audio if possible, or just want to quickly browse the slides. Although I get much more out of slides when I hear the associated audio, I can also see how people might not have enough time to dedicate to the entire recording. So did the formats with audio perform best, or did the classic SlideShare presentation format win?

Should Nurse Uniforms be Standardized?
388 posts back to top |
Posted over 6 years ago With so many types of nursing uniforms out there nowadays, there has been more talk about standardizing nurse uniforms. Do you think this is a good idea? What type of uniform would you prefer? |
35 posts back to top |
| Posted over 6 years ago As long as they stay within certai guidelines I wouldnt see a problem for different uniforms. I say the shirts showing the bellies and stuff like that should not be appropraite but it is for the boss to deal with. Each person should be able to choose what kind they wore as long as it was deemed appropriate. |

| Posted over 6 years ago I don't think they should make all uniforms alike... I like being able to choose from difefernt styles and colors and cuts. I agree that anything showing your stomach is not right, you should not be showing too much "skin" when you work, some patients may get the wrong idea. It is up to the individual to make the right choice. I can't wait to finish nsg school and not have to wear the same thing every clinical day! |

| Posted over 6 years ago I feel that the style is not the issue its the colors. I was recently in a facility where the housekeeping staff, CNA's and nurses all wore what ever colors the wanted as long as it was a Scrub type uniform it was so confusing for us to decifer who was who I even heard several time a housekeeper being called the nurse by a client because they couldn't destinguish between uniforms |

| Posted over 6 years ago I've seen the same kind of confusion mkixmiller described when all personnel wear scrubs. Patients don't know who's who. I've also worked in hospitals that decided to standardize colors for various disciplines and lost good nurses because those good nurses had already bought uniforms in other colors. Hospitals were not willing to back their decisions for nurses to wear all one color by off-setting the additional costs to nurses. I think it's important for patients to know who their nurses are. I keep thinking of police uniforms--like for bike police. They wear a uniform of blue short and white polo type shirt and just so nobody mistakes who they are, their shirts spell out "POLICE" in big bold letters all across the front and back. I think that if we spelled our RN boldly and brightly on the front and back of our uniforms, patients would know who we are nomatter what else our uniforms looked like. Perhaps we could wear whatever color we want or like, or a style we like, as long as it has RN on it big enough for all to see. All disciplines could do the same. Let nutrition say, "NUTRITION." Let transportation techs say, "TRANSPORTATION." Let nursing techs say, "NURSING TECHNICIAN." Let labs say, 'LAB TECH." Etc. I've worked where all the RN's had to wear a certain color, but nobody routinely told that to patients, so they still didn't know who their nurses were. I say let's spell it out clearly so there's no confusion about it. I know name ID badges usually say who and what we are, but they can be difficullt to read. |

| Posted over 6 years ago Where I work everyone wears scrubs. Every department is in a diffrent color. It does get confusing. All of our ID badges do say what department we are in. However our nurses do not get confused. They are required to wear all white. |

| Posted over 6 years ago I like the different colored scrubs. I don't think it matters as long as you look professional. Everyone should wear name tags. That's the first thing patients look for. However, the all white look for nurses is very professional and identifies a nurse immediately. |

| Posted over 6 years ago Our local hospital has gone to white on top for nurses. One of the hospitals in a neighboring city has gone to All white for Nurses. I personally like the colored scrubs, but something to differeniate nurses from housekeeping staff; beyond name tags needs to be in place. Some of the nurses here wear a white vest over their colored scrubs and this is acceptable to our hospital. Some type of standardization across the board would be great; but I am not in favor of all white. My nursing school uniform is all white except for a blue pinstripe on the button on bib and our school badge. It is a nightmare to keep clean. |

| Posted over 6 years ago I start a new job tomorrow. The nurses must wear white pants. The tops can be what they choose. The cnas are in dark blue.The facility I worked at before anyone could where what they wanted. The residents didn't know who was in laundry, kitchen, or a nurse. Of course I have a closet full of brightly colored pants. Maybe I will sell them on Ebay.

| Posted over 6 years ago I absolutely hate the idea of a all white uniform. I have it now in school and I look like a big white stop sign and when kids see me they start crying. I think that the tags a good enough and besides I can't wait to be able to wear all those cute uniforms with different colors and designs |

| Posted over 6 years ago My facility requires that nurses wear either ceil blue, royal blue, navy blue or white. The other categories of staff also wear a particular color (ie: techs: burgundy, radiology: green, etc). The patients like it as they are able to distinguish who the nurses are. The required colors do take away individuality though. So, to get some of that back there is a great website that sells beautiful badge holders. You can check them out at www.reeldifference.com. Being able to wear a little something that displays your personality is nice. |

| Posted over 6 years ago Standardized uniforms can be a good thing. At our hospital, nurses and other staff could wear pretty much whatever they wanted. Nobody could tell who was who, especially the patients. Our department, the ED being the trailblazers they usually are, went to solid black scrubs with our department logo embroidered on the chest about 3 years ago. Our techs, paramedics and sec's wear a different color. Directors and admin around the system liked it so much they made the remainder of the hospital go to standardized uniforms. Now you know who's who. Nobody chose all white, of course. That would be insane. |

| Posted over 6 years ago We went to standardized colors not too long ago. As a practitioner running all over the hospital, not just staying on one floor, it made my life SO much easier! If it was less confusing for me as an NP, I can just imagine how much easier it is on patients and families as well. Not only that, but for some reason there is an added sense of professionalism with it as well. The cool thing? Although the staff screamed up a storm about losing their individuality, they have still found SUBTLE ways to be a bit different. Very cool in my book because it takes a bit more thinking then just grabbing a bright orange shirt with purple pants. |

| Posted over 6 years ago I believe that scrubs with teddy bears and clowns are unprofessional. I don't want to see a standardized uniform, but people should look like professionals. |

| Posted over 6 years ago I remember my mother (who was required to wear all white) comming home soaking her dress in an acid (we had hard well water) and rinsing her nylons and polishing her shoes every night to be ready for the next day. It was a ritual. I like the uniform look and would wear it too but the white is hard to keep spotless and it needs to be spotless or you look like a slob. I think the idea of the all white was to project a cleaner than clean professional appearence, and any hospital still requireing it should use a service for their nurses. |

| Posted about 6 years ago I believe that scrubs in it self are professional whether they have teddy bears, hearts or polka dots. The pattern reflects the individual. What alot of employers are forgetting is the fact that the happier there employees are the harder they work and the more loyal they are to the company. I say if the pattern is not offensive in any way it is ok. |

| Posted about 6 years ago If nurses expect to be paid as the professionals that they are, then they need to look the part! Isn't it amazing how one will go to any length to look their best on that job interview. Less than 6 months later they look like slobs walking down the hall. Unkept hair with 2 or 3 different colors hanging on their wrinkled scrubs, long painted nails, wearing make-up as if going to a New Years Eve party. And then the shoes look as if they have been working in a garden befor they came to work. Most nursing schools address grooming issues early on in their education. What happens? Patients look to us as a unit to meet their needs not our own. We have to set the standard on professionalism. Hospitals have to have dress codes and they can't bend to current fashion fads. Scrubs are fine if they are ironed. However most hospitals who do prvide them, don't iron them well. I used to take mine home and do it. What a difference! Put on a clean pressed lab coat over it and all set to go. |

| Posted about 6 years ago I have been a Nurse for over 30 year. I think all Nurse' lost respect when we stopped wearing "WHITE." ALSO our school cap's........ Let's get real, for years prior to the change, nurse' had respect, and we were listened too, as professionals. Now we look like a rainbow, without an arch! Guy A. Smith, RN |

| Posted about 6 years ago i think thaj pt.s like the dfferent colors on the healthcare staff. my experience as a nurse aide or med tech, pt. often share how they likr so n so uniform color or flowers etc. i think there should be a standard but not aparticlar one. |

| Posted about 6 years ago We've been down this road before. I agree the all white is professional looking and identifies you as a nurse right away. But I also like the different colore and varieties of uniforms-it shows your personality. However I do think everyone in the medical profession shoud dress in a dignified manner. We are professionals and our appearance should reflect that. |

| Posted about 6 years ago I disagree that all nurses lost respect when we stopped wearing all white and the caps. Could be my military background, but I am all about a smart uniform and uniformity. It doesn't have to be white to be professional and garner respect. It needs to be uniform and the person wearing them does the rest. |

| Posted about 6 years ago Believe it or not, I like having a uniform to wear when I go to work. Not because it is professional or whatever, but because it is easy. Not only that, but there is no confusion as to what my job is and what my position in that job is. But I do get a uniform allowance and I would probably strike up a little debate concerning the cost of uniforms and replacing a whole wardrobe to accomidate the dress code. I am not gung ho uniform though, regardless of the thought that hearts, bears, and other cartoons are unprofessional, I wouldn't mind wearing them to work. Especially if I worked with children. |

| Posted about 6 years ago I think the main thing is that everyone be coordinated. That seems to give the best impression, and can look professional with almost any style. But to do that you have to find a brand that can fit EVERYONE at your workplace. Probably the best is Cherokee Workwear because they have 5XL's and Talls, Petites, the whole deal. You can also outfit an entire group in Dickies Scrubs, but you have to order from the EDS line or you won't be able to get bigger sizes to match. Of course many of the girls want to roll down their pants at the top, and their underwear shows. But that is more about rules than the uniforms. |

| Posted about 6 years ago My nursing school required nursing students to wear white scrubs. I hated it...the then gals looked geated. Me on teh other had...well lets just say white is not flatteirng on girls built like me! I will say that by everyone wearing the same color it did look professional while doing clinicals. We had several sites comment on how great we looked...keeping it clean was a whole other story. Just a walk to the car was taking a huge risk!

| Posted almost 6 years ago I know it's been a while since anyone has posted on this subject but I need to just get this out... I'm frustrated by my organization telling me EXACTLY what I need to wear even though they want to project that our nurses have "autonomy". How autonomous can we really be if we're all running around looking like perverbial penguins? I am trained to use critical thinking and to use my professional judgement on a day to day basis in order to allow my employer to dictate the colors I wear? I think it's time to move out of the dark ages... give me freedom of choice to dictate the colors of my own threads. |

| Posted almost 6 years ago There are greater issues that should be addressed rather than the color of the uniform. It seems like hospitals are having trouble ensuring good patient care so they can address issues like this. Please don't pay any attention to my misspelled words or typos. Sorry I'll try harder next time. |

For those of you who have Usenet access, I posted an article called "Health care is NOT a right" under alt.anarchism, alt.politics.economics and alt.philosophy.
You can look it up under Google Groups or use a newsreader. There is a public news server at nntp.aioe.org.

Actually what really annoys me is the flippant use of the term troll, simply because, "omg! someone said something I disagree with it on the internet".
The other responses are expected, of course, but it's a shame to see usenet not being immune to the recent politically correct revision the term "troll" has apparently taken on the internet in the past few years.

A more accurate slogan would be "healthcare is a right but making someone give it to you or taking money from someone to pay for it is not a right". My slogan is less catchy though.

Are there any World of Warcraft Question and answer websites that do not belong to Stack Overflow and that strictly deal with World of Warcraft questions?
There is an SE 1.0 site called Epic Advice that only deals with WoW questions and isn't owned by Stack Overflow, Internet Services. World of Warcraft questions are also perfectly welcome on Gaming.SE, we have quite some WoW players here. |
Elitist Jerks is technically a guild website, but their forums are open to the public and they have possibly the best discussions on WoW out there. I haven't played WoW in over a year now, but the posters there always did a ton of testing on the mechanics of the game, they often created spreadsheets to detail different gear set-ups, etc. If you play a hunter class, look for the posts from Cheeky. He pretty much revolutionized how to play a hunter (although some of his work may be outdated now depending on how Blizzard has changed the game).

I wonder if anyone can help me. My daughter wants this tshirt but we live in Canada. I have a border store which we usually send US packages to (usually send DBH tees there, etc) but because the billing address only accepts US addresses it won't let me place my order (billing address must be same as on credit card - which is Canadian). I sent an email last night to Teefury but guess they don't reply on Sundays. Seeing as the shirt is only available till midnight, need help asap. Anyone have solution?
Thanks so much. :) -

Rosa rugosa Thunb. |
Rosa rugosa (rugosa rose, Japanese rose, or Ramanas rose) is a species of rose native to eastern Asia, in northeastern China, Japan, Korea and southeastern Siberia, where it grows on the coast, often on sand dunes.[1] It should not be confused with Rosa multiflora, which is also known as "Japanese rose".
Vernacular names[edit]
In Japanese, it is called hamanasu (ハマナス?), meaning "shore eggplant" and also hamanashi ([clarification needed]) meaning "shore pear". The Chinese call it "meiguihua" (玫瑰花). In Korean, the species is called haedanghwa (해당화, 海棠花), literally "flowers near seashore".[2]
It is a suckering shrub which develops new plants from the roots and forms dense thickets 1–1.50 m tall with stems densely covered in numerous short, straight prickles 3–10 mm long. The leaves are 8–15 cm long, pinnate with 5–9 leaflets, most often 7, each leaflet 3–4 cm long, with a distinctly corrugated (rugose, hence the species' name) surface. The flowers are pleasantly scented, dark pink to white, 6–9 cm across, with somewhat wrinkled petals; flowering occurs in spring.[1]
The hips are large, 2–3 cm diameter, and often shorter than their diameter, not elongated; in late summer and early autumn the plants often bear fruit and flowers at the same time. The leaves typically turn bright yellow before falling in autumn.[citation needed]
Cultivation and uses[edit]
Rugosa rose is widely used as an ornamental plant. It has been introduced to numerous areas of Europe and North America. It has many common names, several of which refer to the fruit's resemblance to a tomato, including beach tomato or sea tomato; saltspray rose, beach rose, and beach plum (not to be confused with the beach plum) are others.[citation needed]
The sweetly scented flowers are used to make pot-pourri in Japan and China, where it has been cultivated for about a thousand years.
This species hybridises readily with many other roses, and is valued by rose breeders for its considerable resistance to the diseases rose rust and rose black spot. It is also extremely tolerant of seaside salt spray and storms, commonly being the first shrub in from the coast. It is widely used in landscaping, being relatively tough and trouble-free. Needing little maintenance, it is suitable for planting in large numbers; its salt-tolerance makes it useful for planting beside roads which need deicing with salt regularly.[citation needed]
Numerous cultivars have been selected for garden use, with flower colour varying from white to dark red-purple, and with semi-double to double flowers where some or all of the stamens are replaced by extra petals. Popular examples include 'Fru Dagmar Hastrup' (pink, single), 'Pink Grootendorst' (pink, semi-double), 'Blanc Double de Coubert' (white, double) and the more common 'Roseraie de L'Haÿ' (pink, double), which is often used for its very successful rootstock and its ornamental rose hips.[citation needed]
Invasive species[edit]
Rugosa rose is naturalized in many parts of Europe, and it is considered an invasive species in some habitats, particularly in seashores of North Europe. It can out-compete native flora, thereby threatening biological diversity.[3] It is also considered a noxious weed in the USA.[4]

White House delays release of 2013 budget
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Monday evening said that it is delaying for one week the release of President Barack Obama's budget for the 2013 fiscal year that starts Oct. 1.
The budget is traditionally released on the first Monday in February — which is Feb. 6 — but the administration has pushed the release to Feb. 13. An administration official said the later date was "determined based on the need to finalize decisions and technical details of the document."
The delay comes as Jacob Lew, budget director since late 2010, is making the transition to White House chief of staff after Bill Daley submitted his resignation to the president earlier this month.
After last year's failed attempts at budget deals, election-year expectations are low that Obama and Congress will be able to make progress this year on deficits that required the government to borrow 36 cents of every dollar it spent last year.
But House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, told reporters that he's hopeful Congress and Obama will at least be able to agree upon enough budget savings to forestall across-the-board budget cuts. The cuts are required in the wake of last year's failure by a so-called deficit supercommittee to come up with $1.2 trillion in spending cuts mandated by the debt limit agreement.
Obama is sure to preview new policy proposals in Tuesday's State of the Union address, and the subsequent budget release typically fleshes in the details.
Capitol Hill Republicans were quick to criticize the White House delay, saying it shows the White House isn't serious about tackling the deficit.
"If I were advising President Obama, I'd recommend less time campaigning and more time spent addressing the impending fiscal crisis," said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. "We need a budget with a responsible spending restraint and pro-growth reforms and we need it now."

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and
out of the spotlight.)
After her Friday night (Nov. 9) concert in Atlantic City, N.J., Carrie Underwood tweeted that she was leaving in awe. But after what she announced at that Boardwalk Hall concert, I have a feeling she left Atlantic City in awe, as well. "We're so glad to be here and even more glad to be here this evening," she said in reference to the damage Hurricane Sandy had just done to the New Jersey city. "You know, after something like this, you wonder whether the show should go on. We thought, this building was still here, so it must be here for a reason. I wouldn't feel right making any money off of tonight's show. So anything I make is going right back into the community here." I don't know exactly what Underwood meant by "anything I make," but that venue holds more than 14,000 people, and tickets averaged about $65 each, so whatever she donated I'm guessing it was a generous amount. Her full post-show tweet was: "Thank you beautiful Atlantic City! You all made my year! You have been through so much and still rocked the house! I leave in awe! Thanks."

11/30/2011 - An unusual alliance of consumer advocates and industry groups won a victory this month when they helped persuade Congress to boost funding for the Food and Drug Administration, while most other programs paid for by a newly passed agriculture spending bill had their money slashed.That alliance engaged in an old-style shoe leather campaign to prevent spending cuts for the FDA as the agency prepares to carry out a landmark food safety bill that was adopted by the previous Congress. The effort included at least four dozen visits to congressional offices and grass-roots events in the districts of key lawmakers involved in spending decisions, as well as advertisements in Capitol Hill newspapers.This month, after weeks of haggling, Congress increased the agency's funding by nearly 3 percent from last year's level to $3.8 billion. Of all the additional money FDA secured, the new food safety program captured the largest amount: $39 million."Having consumers who were directly affected by food-borne illnesses standing shoulder to shoulder with the food industry sent a powerful message," said Erik Olson, director of food programs at the Pew Health Group. "It's not every day that a member of Congress sees somebody from a large food company come in with a consumer group to ask for more resources."***Read the full article, FDA Funding Boosted Through Lobbying Effort, on the Washington Post's Web site.

Where can I find inspiration for a band logo?
we decided to change our name the other day, and we need a new logo. since our genre is pretty much very rare and such, its hard to find an appropriate logo. theyre relying on me to draw it (since i drew the last one) but i cant find any inspiration. im looking for a kinda weird, trancey, spacey looking logo that'll fit an old school jazz/death metal band.since we're not in on the brutal gore and guts theme, we're more about philosophy and though, hence our new name Transcendentalist. sorta like Atheist and Cynic. is there anything i can do to get some kinda of idea or inspiration for this design? cuz i made a few logos for other bands so im kinda stuck in a death metal logo phase. and, im not good with the font websites. i tried looking for cool stuff but i prefer complex logos without a defined base line (kinda like Atheist). plus, all the fonts i found suck lol
anything i could do to make this logo?

Alcohol misuse is common. More than 8% of the US population experience alcohol abuse or dependence and an additional 30% drink at risky levels. Brief counseling about alcohol use from primary care providers can decrease drinking and has been designated the third highest priority in the US for preventing adult health problems.
Wherever drinking is a problem with Veterans, the VA is looking for solutions.
Alcohol screening followed by brief alcohol counseling has been very effective in helping Veterans with existing and potential drinking problems and is a national prevention priority for the VA.
One of the tools used by the VA is a three-question alcohol screen called the AUDIT-C that can help identify Veterans who are drinking at levels that may be hazardous or have active alcohol use disorders, including alcohol abuse or dependence.
The AUDIT-C asks questions like "How often did you have a drink containing alcohol in the past year?" and "How many drinks did you have on a typical day when you were drinking in the past year?"
Positive screening serves as a very valuable early warning sign that can identify potential drinking problems before they get worse.
Most patients who screen positive for alcohol misuse do not have alcohol dependence. Since the early 1980s, there has been increasing recognition that most individuals who experience alcohol misuse are not alcohol dependent. Dr. Daniel Kivlahan is the Director of the Center of Excellence in Substance Abuse Treatment and Education for the VA Puget Sound Health Care System.
In describing brief alcohol counseling, he says, "Brief alcohol counseling is a non-judging patient-centered intervention that can occur in less than 5 minutes and involves the primary care provider sharing their concern for the health of the Veteran and offering medically appropriate advice to stop drinking or drink within recommended limits.
"The primary care provider also offers specific feedback regarding health risks from alcohol that may be related to the Veteran's other health conditions. The provider also offers to arrange additional help if needed to support changes and to check on progress at the next visit."
Numerous studies have concluded that brief alcohol counseling decreases drinking in primary care patients with alcohol misuse or encourages involvement with other treatment support for those with more serious problems.
Dr. Kivlahan notes that alcohol is used by most Veterans and keeping it among the list of regular health topics is an important part of quality care to promote your health and well being.
Check-ups allow you and your provider to notice any problems before they become serious. My HealtheVet now offers The Drinker's Check-up, an anonymous, self-guided online tool that allows you to develop a better understanding of your drinking, including any risks that it might pose to your health.

Romney backs slower Social Security gains for wealthy
SALEM, New Hampshire
- Tweet
- Share this
SALEM, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Slowing the pace of increases in Social Security benefits for wealthier Americans would be one way to help keep the retirement program solvent, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said on Monday.
Romney said benefit adjustment for wealthy recipients should be tied to the consumer price index rather than the faster-rising wage index.
That, along with an increase in the retirement age, would help plug the shortfalls in Social Security, Romney said at a town hall meeting in Salem, New Hampshire.
"I would rather have slower benefit growth for higher income beneficiaries" than raising taxes, he said, adding that current retirees or near-retirees should face "no changes at all" in benefits. "I do not want to raise taxes on anyone."
Recent missteps in debates by rival Rick Perry, the Texas governor, have helped Romney regain front-runner status in the race for the 2012 Republican primary nomination.
Romney looked energized on Monday while stumping in the key early primary state, where he holds a wide lead in the most polls.
The former governor of neighboring Massachusetts was peppered with questions on immigration, the war in Afghanistan, relations with Pakistan and gun control by a mostly supportive crowd of about 300.
Pakistan, Romney said, "is not acting like an ally," and should decide if it wants to support the United States or the Taliban; choosing the Taliban would have "significant consequences."
Romney kept up a hard line against illegal immigration, a topic on which he has hammered his rival, Texas Governor Rick Perry, in recent days.
"If we've got enough money to give credits to people for going to college, let those credits go to American citizens," Romney said, a dig at Perry's support for a Texas bill that allows the children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition rates.
Romney also criticized President Barack Obama's comments that the United States "has gotten a little soft," made in a television interview last week while arguing for more investment in science and infrastructure.
"It's not that we have become soft ... it's that he's on our shoulders and is too heavy. We want to get him off our shoulders so we can run again," Romney said.

I made this for four so doubled up on the recipe with the exception of the vinegar (having read the reviews) and it was superb. I used sirloin steak and despite perservering I could not get it to go crispy!
I made the Oriental Fried Rice recipe from this site to go with it which was nice but plain rice would have been great as the beef is so flavoursome. Will definitely be making this again. Great Saturday night meal.

MyScript Memo is an obscure little app (it's free!) that doesn't have many features but does have the best handwriting recognition that I've ever seen. The manual is two sentences long. The only drawback for me is that it is portrait mode only and doesn't offer a zoom window, meaning you have to rest your hand on the screen, which I don't like doing anymore. It does however offer good palm rejection. Its recognition is amazingly good straight out of the box (print and cursive), but it's also very easy to add unusual words to its dictionary.
7Notes HD Premium also has extremely good recognition and offers landscape mode and a zoom window plus a whole lot more. Of course, there's also more of a learning curve. $0.99.
I gave up on the other major OCR app six months ago. These two apps have rekindled my interest in handwriting recognition.
Highly recommended.

UNDATED (AP) - Montis Harrison could be a marked man this
weekend when the Arkansas State defensive back takes the field at
fourth-ranked Texas.
It seems Harrison grew up in Houston -- and was a Texas A&M fan.
In fact, he says he's a lifelong Longhorn hater.
Harrison will oppose the Longhorns again Saturday night when the
Indians face them in the season opener in Austin. He's one of a
handful of Arkansas State players from the Lone Star State who are
looking forward to the trip.
Defensive lineman Prince Hickman -- who's from Dallas -- says
the Indians are looking forward to testing themselves against a
national championship contender.

INDIANAPOLIS — One month after announcing it would acquire a leader in molecular imaging development, Eli Lilly announced it has completed its acquisition of Avid Radiopharmaceuticals.
Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Lilly acquired all outstanding shares of Avid for an upfront payment of $300 million, subject to adjustment based on existing cash on hand at closing. Avid stockholders also will be eligible for up to $500 million in additional payments contingent upon potential future regulatory and commercial milestones for florbetapir, a molecular imaging agent under investigation for detecting the presence of amyloid plaque in the brain.
The Food and Drug Administration's Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee will hold a meeting to discuss florbetapir's new drug application on Jan. 20.
The impact of the acquisition will be reflected in Lilly's fourth-quarter 2010 financial statements, but is not expected to be substantial, Lilly said.
