Mild cases of craniosynostosis — those that involve only one suture and no underlying syndrome — may require no treatment. Skull abnormalities may become less obvious as your baby grows and develops hair. Or your doctor might recommend a specially molded helmet to help reshape your baby's head and allow room for your baby's brain growth.
For most babies, however, surgery is the primary treatment for craniosynostosis. The type and timing of surgery depend on the type of craniosynostosis and whether there's an underlying syndrome that needs treatment.
The purpose of surgery is to relieve pressure on the brain, create room for the brain to grow normally and improve your child's appearance. A team that includes a specialist in surgery of the head and face (craniofacial surgeon) and a specialist in brain surgery (neurosurgeon) often performs the procedure.
Traditional surgery. The surgeon makes an incision in your baby's scalp and cranial bones, then reshapes the affected portion of the skull. Sometimes plates and screws, often made of material that is absorbed over time, are used to hold the bones in place. Surgery, which is performed during general anesthesia, usually takes hours.
After surgery, your baby remains in the hospital for at least three days. Some children may require a second surgery later because the craniosynostosis recurs. Also, children with facial deformities often require future surgeries to reshape their faces.
If your baby has an underlying syndrome, your doctor may recommend regular follow-up visits after surgery to monitor head growth and check for increased intracranial pressure. Head growth will be routinely monitored at well-child visits.

Manoj Mitta in the TOI:
In the span of a fortnight, the Supreme Court has come up with conflicting approaches to corruption and communal violence. While it has been goading the CBI to spare none of the culprits in the 2G scam, the apex court showed more concern about ensuring fair trial than about making the Modi regime accountable for the Gujarat carnage. The activist zeal involved in transgressing the lakshman rekha to kill Ravan, much as it is evident in the corruption case, is conspicuously absent in the communal violence case. The UPA government tried to scuttle the Supreme Court's monitoring of the 2G probe by citing, ironically enough, the precedent set in the Modi case. The two-judge bench headed by Justice G S Singhvi, however, clarified that it would not allow the lakshman rekha to come in the way of monitoring the remaining aspects of investigation and insulating the trial from extraneous pressures. In one such bona fide transgression of the lakshman rekha, the Singhvi bench attacked the covert attempt to undermine the trial by bringing in the telecom regulatory authority's assessment of a zero loss in the spectrum allocation.
Manoj Mittal,
Just, answer 1 question - 2G spectrum - is it a federal/central or state issue?
You've no idea on jurisdiction of Federal and State boundry. Learn and understand it first, and then write, and then you might want to appeal in SC for future accuse of 2G who will be in Tihar (PC, your damad etc .. )
Manoj Mittal is CON stooge and scambag who twists arguments. He is using the same trick of communalism to get the CON gandhi DIE-nasty off the hook.
The communal, facist SCAMBAG SOCIALISTS who are getting cut in the UPA CORRUPT regime bring up issues like Bharat mata picture, Bahrart mata ki jai slogan, Vande mataram or destruction of Parlimentary democracy, supremacy of Parliament to counter Lokpal or anti-corruption laws and do every thing save the CORRUPT GANG and CORRUPT means. This is because these crooks are getting a cut in the SYSTEM.
SC monitored SIT investigation. Now that report is submitted, lower courts will take that into account to process the law. SC does not monitor lower courts. The petitioners can go to the higher to court to reverse the judgements.
SC is monitoring 2G SCAM of the SCUMS because the investigation is going on and CBI is not an independent agency. They have proven again again they are manipulating and not pursuing the truth. They have to be monitored during the process.
What is this scam supporter trying to do here?
His objective is simple. Cast aspersions on the SC and repeat it again and again in the CON media and scum SCOIALIST LOOTERS. SCARE THE SC and make them back off. Bring communalism into corruption issue again and communalize and destroy SC in order to save the CON DIE-nasty.
No wonder Anwaar types love and come to his support.
India's Mitta's can discover, invent, manufacture "equivalence" as often as necessary for the Great Cause. He is supposed to be an expert on legal matters. Note this:
SC's Lakshman rekha comment was in the case filed in SC by Swamy asking SC to instruct CBI to probe Chiddu. So SC is saying they will decide if Probe is to be conducted or not, and in case they decide to do so, they have they right to monitor the probe as well.
In case of Gujarat riots the SC has already done that i.e. SIT was instituted on SCs order to Probe the case. After the probe was completed, SC sent the case back to the trial court. In SC decides to get Chiddu probed and if consequent to completion of such probe, it orders that Chiddu be made an accused, then only one could say that SC has acted differently. In fact Swamy plans to cite the Gujarat case as a precedent in his case at SC.
Of course blatantly prejudiced Mittas won't tell you that Swami has filed a case in the trial court also where he wants Chiddu to be made a co-accused!! Right it is the TRIAL COURT which will decide whether Chiddu should be subjected to a trial or not, exactly as it will in Gujarat Riots case. In both cases if the complainant is not satisfied by the trial courts decisions, it can go to higher courts.
But we know the SECULAR Cause is above petty considerations of truth, justice, honour. Don't forget that more often than not, it is in the interest of Secularism, that institution of this country have been subverted, defamed, maligned by the Secular party.
>>judicial processes in Modi's Gujarat need a lot more monitoring than elsewhere<<
And take Indian judicial system to the level of what is existing in Pakistan???
>> It is as if they are so surprised to learn that judicial processes in Modi's Gujarat need a lot more monitoring than elsewhere!
The stuck pigs are unable to understand that Gujarat needs a lot of monitoring, but for different reasons. Without monitoring, CBI and the foreign and UPA funded liars like Teesta might level baseless charges against Modi. Remember false stories of a pregnant woman's womb being cut open?
2G OTOH, requires equally active monitoring. The reasons are entirely different though. CBI is actively trying to save the accused. MMS has publically stated that he shall defend his ministers, instead of the truth.

Coming soon: Natalie Portman as Web portal?
Can Justin.TV compete with Queen Amidala?
ValleyWag is reporting that actress Natalie Portman is shopping a project to broadcast a continuous video feed of her work and personal life. The actress reportedly met with venture capitalists in Silicon Valley to seek funding for the project.
Portman isn't alone in looking for new online outlets. Dave Networks, for instance, is building Web sites for stars--said to include Will Smith and Jessica Alba--that that would let them own, distribute and "monetize" their own content.

Such a surprise. Congress is collectively stupider, thanks to the Tea Party electing the dumbest politicians available:
American Idiots: Congress Dumbs Itself Down One Full Grade Level: Congress appears to be getting collectively dumber. The Sunlight foundation analyzed Congressional speech and found that over the past seven years they've gone from talking like high school juniors to sophomores. While many factors account for the full-grade level drop off, the study found that the 2010 freshman class of Tea Party Republicans are partly responsible for spreading the stupid. As NPR points out: "Of the 10 members speaking at the lowest grade level, all but two are freshmen, and every one is a Republican."
How did they get voted in? Take a look at their constituency:
Of course we should also recall the voters who DIDN'T show up in 2010 — they were so much smarter for helping this to happen, weren't they?

Government Operations
Virginia is one of the best-managed states in the nation, as evidenced by its long-standing AAA bond rating, its accolades from the PEW Center on the States, and top marks from other leading national organizations.
Why is This Important?
The challenge for all governments, large or small, is to serve the public trust with honesty, responsiveness, and good stewardship. With a 2012-2014 biennial operating budget of more than $75 billion and approximately 117,000 salaried and wage employees who serve a population of more than 8 million people, Virginia's state government is necessarily complex. Moreover, Virginia, like most states, has felt the stinging effects of the recession that began in 2008 and resulted in job losses, decreased home sales, and deteriorating tax revenues. Amid growing concerns about job stability, health care, and education, there are increasing demands on state government to work better, cost less, and be more transparent.
How is Virginia Doing?
The Pew Center on the States awarded Virginia the top overall grade for government performance in 2005 (along with Utah) and again in 2008 (along with Utah and Washington), based on their assessment of how well the state managed its people, money, infrastructure, and information. Virginia has long been recognized as one of the best-managed states in the nation according to these and similar criteria.
The following sections offer performance data in several broad categories of government operations:
Leadership & Accountability | Finance | Workforce | Information & Infrastructure
Leadership and Accountability
Virginia was among the first states to develop and sustain the comprehensive integration of planning with budgeting and performance management. Since 2003, state government has made significant progress in establishing an infrastructure that focuses on strategic goals while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations. Performance evaluation and increased accountability are key.
This site, Virginia Performs, is the public face of that performance management and accountability system.
Bond Rating. Virginia has held an AAA bond
rating for 75 years, longer than any other
state. This rating reflects a tradition of
fiscal prudence and a culture of identifying
cost-saving measures.
Expenditures. The goal of any government is to provide needed services and public infrastructure investment at the lowest cost possible and without incurring undue debt. Numbers alone for debt and expenditures cannot speak to how well these goals are being met, but do provide an indication of per capita debt and spending across the country.
2010 state and local government expenditures per capita in Virginia were $8,548, which ranked Virginia 13th lowest among the states and lower than the U.S. average of $10,089. Among regional peer states, per capita expenditures were lower in North Carolina ($8,381) and Tennessee ($8,430) but higher in Maryland ($9,944). Idaho was lowest in the U.S. at $7,650 per resident.
Debt. 2010 state and local government debt per capita in
Virginia was $7,721, ranking Virginia 23rd lowest
in the nation and below the U.S. average
of $9,163. Regional peer states had lower debt loads than Virginia, with North Carolina at $5,436; Tennessee at $6,043; and Maryland at $7,368. Idaho had the
lowest debt per capita in the nation at $3,906.
Procurements. Virginia's eVA procurement system is an example of an innovative tool that was developed to hold down costs. eVA is a Web-based government-to-business program that standardizes and streamlines purchasing and creates a digital enterprise-wide procurement system. The Pew Center for the States cites it as a best practice that has also allowed Virginia to partially integrate with the federal General Services Administration and thereby take advantage of federal contract discounts. In FY 2012, 89.1 percent of state purchases and 99.6 percent of the total value of state procurements were processed through eVA.
Retirement System. Established in 1942, the Virginia Retirement System provides pension plans for certain state and local government employees, including public school teachers, law enforcement officers, and state agency workers. Due to various stresses over the past decade, the percentage of retirement system obligations backed by current assets decreased from 107 percent funded in FY 2001 to just 66 percent in FY 2012. This long decline is due to years of lower than actuarially required contributions from the state and localities, as well as lower investment yields during multiple recession years.
A recent report by the Pew Center on the States ranked Virginia, along with 14 other states, as "Needs Improvement" in the management of their retirement funds, based on funding levels, unfunded liabilities, and required contributions. Starting in July 2011, a mandate was reinstated for state workers to make contributions (5% of gross pay) to the retirement fund to help rebuild its assets. Thanks to legislation passed in 2012, beginning in 2014 the state will also be required to gradually increase its contributions to the retirement system.
The state government workforce is an important asset that must be managed effectively to maximize government productivity. The Pew Center on the States gives Virginia its highest mark for its management of human resources in strategic workforce planning, training, retention, and performance management. The turnover rate among employees decreased markedly over the last three years, from 14.5 percent in FY 2006 to 11.4 percent in FY 2011, though much of this is likely due to the economic recession. An increase in the average age of new hires and lower turnover in the existing workforce contributed to an increase in the average age of workers, from 45 years old in 2005 to 46.3 in 2010.
The ratio of state and local government employees to Virginia residents again decreased in 2011, from 55.4 per 1,000 residents in 2010 to 54.2. Among U.S. states, that ranks Virginia 26th lowest. Virginia has a higher number of state and local government employees per capita than Tennessee (51.1) and Maryland (52.7) but lower than North Carolina (57.6). The U.S. state average was 52.5 state and local government employees per 1,000 residents in 2011.
Information and Infrastructure
Virginia has received national recognition for its efforts in managing information technology and capital infrastructure. The National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) gave Virginia top honors in 2009 for information security and technology management. According to the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA), 98 percent of state agencies have designated an Information Security Officer (ISO) and 76 percent have written security audit plans. Seventy-four percent of information technology projects are on track as reported by VITA in its November 2012 quarterly update, a drop of over 6 percent from the previous quarter.

November 2012 | 74.1% | $162,116,003 |
VITA Project Management and Oversight, Quarterly Status Reports, http://www.vita.virginia.gov/oversight/projects/ |
The Pew Center on the States cites state project management systems in transportation as a best practice. Data from the Virginia Department of Transportation shows overall improvement in the percentage of transportation-related construction and maintenance projects completed on budget, rising from 77 percent in 2003 to 95 percent in FY 2012. However, the percentage of projects completed on time has fluctuated in recent years, most recently dropping to 69 percent in FY 2011 before recovering to 81 percent in FY 2012.
What Influences Government Operations?
Government performance is affected by economies of scale, workforce quality, federal mandates, community characteristics, and citizen involvement. The per capita administrative costs of smaller states are much higher than larger states because of the relatively high amount of administrative overhead needed to operate state government. Regardless of size, strong strategic leadership and a skilled workforce lead to improved program performance, higher productivity, and quicker adoption of innovative practices.
A high level of socioeconomic disadvantages among residents can create greater demand for public services and increased administrative expenditures associated with program delivery. These conditions can also occur on a temporary basis, as during a major economic downturn. Finally, citizen engagement is an important factor affecting improved government performance.
What is the State's Role?
The Council on Virginia's Future and the Department of Planning and Budget oversee the state's performance leadership and accountability system. A number of central agencies -- including the Departments of Planning and Budget, Accounts, Treasury, Human Resource Management, and General Services; and the Virginia Information Technologies Agency -- work to ensure the best use of public resources and oversee the major administrative functions of state government.
Three enterprise-level organizations conduct ongoing audits of Virginia state government to ensure the integrity and stability of state government finances and operations. Audit results are available on their respective websites.
- The Auditor of Public Accounts, part of the legislative branch of state government, is responsible for providing unbiased, accurate information and sound recommendations to state leadership to improve accountability and financial management.
- The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC) is the oversight agency of the General Assembly, responsible for evaluating the operations and performance of state agencies and programs.
- The State Comptroller establishes and monitors state agency compliance with a uniform system of accounting, financial reporting, and internal controls.
As part of its commitment to accountability and transparency, Virginia state government maintains a number of transparency sites and initiatives via the state portal, where citizens can learn how state government is doing on a host of issues:
- how much the state budgets and spends
- how much localities collect in general property taxes
- how state government measures and tracks its progress
- how funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 are being spent.
State rankings are ordered so that #1 is understood to be the best.

SOURCE Global Voice Group
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, January 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
GVG constantly innovates and invests in fraud management in order to better support the telecoms regulators in their fight against fraudsters
The evidence gathered through a SIMBox localization system provided by its technical partner, Global Voice Group (GVG), has allowed the Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) to have a Lebanese national arrested for using SIM cards in order to illegally terminate international calls on the Liberian networks.
By putting an end to this clandestine SIMBox operation, the LTA spares the legitimate operators and the Liberian State considerable revenue losses, estimated at several million US dollars and caused by the impossibility to collect a portion of the revenue generated by international calls. The purpose of the equipment and SIM cards that were seized at the suspected fraudster's residence in Congo Town was indeed to modify the parameters of thousands of calls coming from abroad on a daily basis in order to terminate them as simple local calls on the Liberian networks, thus avoiding the rates that apply to international calls.
The localization of the suspected fraudster, and ultimately the dismantling of his clandestine telephony operation, were made possible thanks to a SIMBox detection technology which the LTA obtained from GVG.
As Mrs. Angelique Weeks, President of the regulatory agency, pointed out: "This is another example of LTA's ongoing efforts in the fight to thwart criminal activities that deny government of much needed revenues from the telecom sector." (Source: http://allafrica.com/stories/201312161435.html)
The SIMBox localization technologies were provided by GVG in the context of a technical partnership formed by the company and the LTA with a view to executing a global project for the securing and regulation of the telecoms sector in Liberia. This project was launched under the acronym IGMS (International Gateway Management System). The IGMS project aims to fight against fraudulent telephony operations and to improve the quality of service on the Liberian networks, as well as their fiscal and financial performances, for the profit of the State, the consumers and the industry's legitimate stakeholders.
Fraud management is an important aspect of GVG's activities, not only in Liberia, but also in all the countries where the company's solutions have been successfully deployed. GVG constantly innovates and invests in order to ensure that telecoms regulators, with whom it has formed strong partnerships, benefit from the best tools available to counteract this phenomenon that brings about substantial revenue losses for both the legitimate operators and the States.
About GVG
Founded in 1998, GVG develops and implements governance technologies that were specifically designed with telecoms regulators and tax authorities in mind. Currently, its advanced traffic, fraud and quality of service management systems are successfully used in several countries, such as Congo-Brazzaville, Guinea-Conakry, Ghana, Rwanda, Tanzania, Liberia, the Central African Republic and Togo among others.

Wrist pain may vary, depending on what's causing it. For example, osteoarthritis pain is often described as being similar to a dull toothache, while tendinitis usually causes a sharp, stabbing type of pain. The precise location of your wrist pain also can give clues to what might be causing your symptoms.
Not all wrist pain requires medical care. Minor sprains and strains, for instance, usually respond to ice, rest and over-the-counter pain medications. But if pain and swelling last longer than a few days or become worse, see your doctor. Delays in diagnosis and treatment can lead to poor healing, reduced range of motion and long-term disability.

The Company Bike Challenge is a great friendly cycling competition among companies throughout the Bay Area that encourages friends and colleagues to commute by bike during the month of May. Cyclists competing in the Team Bike Challenge will earn points for their team and company every time they ride their bike to work, the park, or any other destination. It's also another great way to show other companies in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties that you are a commuting champion.
To compete, individuals sign up on the Team Bike Challenge registration page and choose their company from a pull down menu. Points will then be counted towards that company. There are three categories for companies, and the company with the highest point total in each category wins!
For complete rules and to participate, register at teambikechallenge.com. Company Bike Challenge participants need only sign up and join their company. You can also join as a team for the Team Bike Challenge if you'd like.
Company categories are: Small Business (1-50 Local Employees) Medium Company (50-300 Local Employees) Large Corporation (300+ Local Employees)
Here are a few reasons why your company should compete:
Cycling is productive. Exercise increases energy levels and relieves stress. As more people at your company commute by bicycle there will be an increase in productivity.
Everyone works together. Competition is an excellent way to train the group skills that your company thrives on. And you don't have to wait until the next team-building exercise retreat.
You have a great company. Here is an opportunity to show the rest of Silicon Valley.
Give your competitors a ride for their money, while letting your employees have another thing to boast about.
2013 Company Bike Challenge Winners:
Following is a list of all the top performers in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.
Santa Clara County Large Companies First – Apple Inc. Second – Tesla Motors Third – Specialized

Why not a special counsel?
With the revelation that the Internal Revenue Service harassed conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status between 2010 and 2012, Attorney General Eric H. Holder has announced the Department of Justice (DOJ) will conduct a criminal investigation. "The FBI is coordinating with the Justice Department to see if any laws were broken in connection with those matters related to the IRS," Mr. Holder said.
Mr. Holder and President Obama have expressed outrage and seem to think this course indicates they are serious about getting to the bottom of the matter. To the contrary, it casts doubt on their sincerity.

- The Red Riding Hood child costume is beautifully crafted and includes a red, black and white 95% polyester/5% cotton dirndl dress with attached apron and petticoat and a red 100% polyester hooded cape. Machine wash cold, gentle cycle; no bleach; tumble dry, cool iron if necessary
- Shoes, basket and socks not included.
Comments about Red Riding Hood Child Costume:
After searching for a few days for the perfect Halloween costume for my four year old daughter only to find many of the little girls costumes out there were what seemed to me to be a bit age-inappropriate, I finally came across this adorable "Lil Red Riding Hood" costume. It was initially out of my price range but after deciding to spend the extra money that it cost me, I am so glad I did. Really, other than the small picnic basket which was the only accessory in which we added, everything we needed was included with the costume and was impressive in quality too. So actually I think the costume was worth every cent considering I didn't need to buy all the extra accessories that I've bought w/so many other costumes. It fit beautifully on my daughter and most importantly it was very comfortable for her to wear to school that day as well as hours of trick-or-treating. Everyone who walked past us, remarked at how adorable my daughter looked in the costume and there certainly wasn't any confusion by anyone as to who my daughter was dressing up as. The costume was an all around great buy and I have no complaints about it at all except that it will be a tough costume to top next year!
Comments about Red Riding Hood Child Costume:
Looked really cute. Held up well after 3 different uses. Was a little narrow at the waist so took a little figuring out how to get it onto my daughter.

ø Ignore doghead[RG] Doghead's Underdogs [a simple DnD game]
This is the Rogues Gallery Thread for doghead's Underdogs.
Please don't post anything here other than the characters.
I'd like everyone to use the following format. Ideally I would like everyone to also format the character sheets as I have done. But as I never like using other people's character sheets, I'm not going to insist. And yes, Lazarius is a character of mine, in a manner of speaking.
* * *
Lazarius Jones, Male Elf Sorcerer 2.
Description: Lazarius is of average height, standing nearly five foot eleven inches tall. His hair is straight and long - his dark ebon locks reaching near the middle of his shoulder blades. His clothing is rather plain, at least for now as he's not amassed enough wealth to afford anything more fancy. Simple browns, dark yellows and grays and blacks are his colors of choice as he tries to keep himself as little noticed as possible. Especially by people shooting at him.
Background: Lazarius has been out of wizard training school for nearly a year now, and thus far he's made little progress making a name for himself. It is a situation that frustrates him immensely. Especially as Guy de Huiard, so Lazaruis has heard, has already been feted several times for his deeds.
Fortunately, Lazarius has managed to attach himself to a small band of brave souls for a bit of adventuring. Hopefully they will keep him alive long enough to progress his magical aptitude and increase his fame as well.
Recently Lazarius and his companions have found their way to the small town of Eldold. He and his band of compatriots have taken on a task that the town elders have bestowed apon them and the problem seems to be a bottomless pit of never ending twists and turns.Last edited by doghead; Tuesday, 3rd July, 2007 at 12:44 PM.

ø Ignore covaitheAssaq, Male Grell Ranger 4
Assaq is a slenderly built grell of medium height, with weather-darkened skin and close-cropped dark hair. He wears nondescript dark clothing that seems to blend into the shadows. He wears a plain longsword in a scabbard, a small wooden shield slung over his back, and carries a large, beautifully wrought longbow. Those with keen ears can occasionally hear the clink of mail under his clothes.
Assaq was a quiet child, more likely to spend hours sitting motionless observing birds and animals than to play with other children. The elders of Horak-krel, taking notice of this, apprenticed him early to the clan's hunters. He quickly showed talent at shooting small game, and came to take pride in providing a valuable service to the village. When he grew to full size, he began to train with martial weapons, and was soon invited to accompany the senior hunters on expeditions to clear away dangerous vermin from the surrounding countryside and, on rare occasions, to raid nearby settlements.
Now Assaq is a trusted member of the clan's hunters, but still leads a fairly solitary life. He often volunteers for patrols that take him deep into the surrounding wilderness alone. He speaks little, preferring patient observation and swift action. He has great respect for the clan elders, and is perfectly comfortable taking any means necessary in carrying out their instructions.
Assaq is from a poor fell, led by an old grell named Beteq. When Assaq was young, Beteq's fell endured a number of years of hard times. Despite help from other fells, debt, poor harvests and sickness sent some to an early pyre, and others to seek their fortune elsewhere in the world, both of which weakened the fell further. Among those who died were Assaq's parents. Now, Beteq's fell is doing better, thanks partly to Assaq's hunting and bowmaking, but mostly to the general improvements in the village's fortunes caused by the influence of the shamen.Last edited by covaithe; Friday, 30th November, 2007 at 09:22 AM.

History: It is unknown how many generations back the Bardican line has lived in Horak-krel. All Mogro knows is that his family has been a respected member of the community since he can remember, although his father's job has caused some costernation at various points. His father, Malco Bardican, was a soldier in one of the kingdom's mercenary companies, the Flying Serpents. He spent his days traveling to and from the various hamlets throughout the Hella kingdom, protecting them from the overt and covert threats. When Malco declared his intention of working for the kingdom in this manner, many of the Bardican family were troubled by this... as it was thought that if he intended a life of defense, he would better serve the community by defending Horak-krel itself rather than leave home. However, Malco had a calling for a greater service, and thus he journeyed out from the village to join the Serpents. Mogro's mother, Terga, thus became the quintessential solder's wife. While Malco would be gone for weeks at a time, she would be at home in Horak-krel raising the family's three children (of which Mogro was second oldest and the only boy). What might be surprising is that despite her husband having left the settlement to earn his keep away from home, Terga dealt with the situation and raising of the children admirably. Terga became a respected and beloved member of the community and the Fall, and she passed those values onto her children. Mogro learned early on to respect the differences in all people, became well-liked, took an active hand in the settlement's actions, and was always willing to help his fellow grell.
Following in his father's footsteps was always the plan for Mogro. Despite his lack of height, he took to a work ethic that produced a strong, healthy young man. And although he was not as bright as his two sisters, he nonetheless earned the respect of the folks in Horak-krel and the neighboring town due to his feats of physicality. He seemed to have a way with horses, and he developed a good rapport with them. Riding and animal care became paramount as he got older, and Mogro hoped that when he reached his majority, he might join the Flying Serpents as a mounted warrior and join his father. However, once he became of age, it was seen that Mogro's perceived lack of mental acuity would make an immediate move into the Serpents an impossibility. Father and son both decided that the best way for Mogro to prove his mettle was to gain experience first as part of the settlement's defenses. Mogro and Malco both hope that with a couple years of hard work defending Horak-krel and learning the basics of a military life, advancement into Serpents will not be far down the road.

Ershe, Grell Druid 4
Appearance: Ershe is physically quite imposing, tall and sturdily built. In contrast, though, his manner is very gentle and soft-spoken. His brown eyes are bright and inquisitive, and he smiles often. He has long dark hair in coarse braids, strung with beads and talismans. At his side pads a tawny brown mountain lion, his constant (and somewhat unsettling) companion.
Background: Ershe is a younger son of a particularly war-like Fall. He was a strong and healthy child, and great things were expected from him. But he never did take much to his martial training. He had no enthusiasm for it, preferring to just wander off and spend some time with the goats or wandering around the fields. He was a great disappointment to his father.
He attracted the shaman's attention in his adolescence and found his niche under his tutelage. He has thrived in the years since and has managed to win back some reluctant respect from his family, but he's still occupying a slightly odd position on the outskirts of respectability in the krel.My PbP Games

A tormented soul. Adokul never knew his mother, and all he knew of his father was that he was a harsh and cruel son of a bitch. When Adokul was 14, he stabbed his father to death while he slept.
Adokul's fate would have been much worse if it had not been for the intervention of the krel shaman. Sympathetic to the boy's situation, the shaman arranged for Adokul to be taken in by another clan in a different krel. Adokul's deed would remain unspoken, he would have a fresh start (of course, it is still possible that rumours of his action have travelled around the grel communities). But with the assistance came a debt - Adokul is required to serve any shaman when requested to do so. The debt will endure until Adokul becomes a father himself. Until then, Adokul is required to present himself to the shaman of any krel he stays at and make his debt known. Failure to do so, if discovered, will probably incur some form of punishment if discovered.
Adokul has moved a few times since then. After wandering from place to place for several years, working as a bit of a thief/mercenary for hire, he ended up in Horak-krel where the Kharad Fall decided to hire him as a worker. Now he finds himself under Ershe's father. Its an aggressive fall, tending to favour strength over subtlety. Adokul has been working for them for a bit over a year now, but is still not highly trusted by most, although the higher powers have come to depend on his skills, and the advantages those skills can bring to them.
The harsh upbringing and start to life he received have made him very cynical, selfish and very suspicious of everyone. He has no real friends, just contacts and acquaintances who have proven to be beneficial to Adokul in some way. He has no qualms about using or killing people for his own ends, some even suspect he gets pleasure from it. In reality whenever he makes a kill Adokul is always reminded of his own father dieing by his hand all those years ago, and the feelings he experiences are both sweet and bitter.
Adokul has made a name for himself as the person to see if you need some "less than reputable" work done. Just make sure you keep up your end of the bargain.Visit The Link Village of Voda Vosa in the RG for complete game links, and stuff!

Tax season is upon us, but it's not too late to learn some last-minute strategies to help you save money. Join this informative webinar by national tax planning expert Dominique Molina to learn:
Last year, almost 38,000 Louisiana taxpayers filed their federal tax returns for FREE. 70 percent of Louisiana taxpayers are eligible to use IRS Free File, which is safe and easy. It's perfect for first-time filers, families looking to save money and seniors savvy about the Internet.
To file your state tax return for free, visit the Louisiana Department of Revenue website.
If you're like most small business owners, you waste thousands of dollars every year in taxes you don't need to pay. Attend this entertaining, fast-paced webinar to learn the last minute secrets to rescue thousands in savings and take advantage of every available break!
In January, it's customary to begin thinking about the year's regulatory changes and to figure out what's new for W-2 & 1099 reporting. The year-end can be intimidating for anyone, and even when only a handful of employees or contractors must be issued W-2 and 1099 forms, there's still a lot to know to ensure possible fines or penalties are avoided. According to the experts at Greatland, there are more than 25 state and federal year-end reporting forms that may need to be sent.
Greatland (www.greatland.com) is the W-2 & 1099 specialist, focused on providing guidance, products, and solutions for small to mid-size businesses and accountants. Through Greatland Corporation's subsidiaries – Greatland, Nelco, FileTaxes.com and Broker Forms – the company offers an extensive array of specialized products for business: W-2 forms, 1099 forms, W-2 & 1099 software, online filing, business checks and check writing software, presentation materials, income tax preparation supplies and software, and mortgage forms.

Taxes are one of the most important issues facing small and growing businesses. And like a company's profits, its annual tax bill will in part reflect the owner's skills and knowledge. Business owners need to be sure that they are meeting all of their responsibilities to the tax man -- and also seizing every opportunity to reduce their taxes.

Would you wear Google Glasses? Video
Would you wear Google Glasses? Video Transcript
It's Thursday, April 5, 2012. I'm Bridget Carey on CNET.com and it's time to get loaded. Google has revealed more about it's Project Glass. It's an experiment to deliver smart glasses that would pop up data in your field of vision. To get input on that idea, Google made a video about what the technology has the potential to do. It shows the users seeing an incoming message from a friend pop up or if there's a problem on your commute then directions were an alternate route are displayed. The glasses could check the user into a location and share it on a social network. It might even take photos and share one's point of view with the video chat, of course what the video didn't show are the other uses companies would like for glasses like this. Like having pop up (bags?) or coupons when you pass by a location. Every year the consumers runs a online voting competition for the worst company in America and they do it in the style of a March Madness Basketball bracket. And this year Electronic Arts 1, The Golden Poo for getting the most votes as the worst company in 2012 beating out Bank of America in the final round. In a year were people were occupying Wall Street how did a video game maker beat out a bank for the title? Well, that's because the gaming world is feeling nickel and dime. The frequent acquisition is EA will deliberately hold back game content and sell an inferior game at the high price of $60 and later charge more fees for players to download additional content that makes the the game better. The next generation of the HTC Evo has arrived. Sprint has unveiled the HTC Evo 4G LTE. It's a slightly redesigned model of the HTC 1X and will come out in the 2nd quarter for $200 pre-order starts May 7th. The first HTC Evo 4G came out 2 years ago but back then it run on a 4G WiMax Network. It also as one of the first phones to have a larger screen and high-end processor. Now this new Evo will be able to tap into Sprint's faster LTE 4G network but there's been no word on exactly when that will go live and this phone will be able to pick up high definition voice-quality sound but that feature won't be available until the end of the year. Rocker Neil Young is working on creating his own audio format. Something that will be a higher quality than an mp3 file. Young has been vocal by this dissatisfaction with the compressed quality of mp3s and Rolling Stone has discovered Young filed a series of trademark names for a new high-definition audio format. Some of those names include Earth Storage, Storage Shed and SQS which is studio quality sound. Young's publicist said that musician isn't ready though to talk publicly about the project. Those are your headlines for today. I'm Bridget Carey for CNET.com and you just been loaded.

Review: Silver Peak packs superior WAN optimization into a virtual machine
- 16 October, 2012 14:22
Is there anything real anymore? Virtual servers, virtual desktops, cloud storage -- what happened to good old steel boxes you could set a user's manual on? Oh wait, even documentation is software now. Is it too much to ask for a 2U chassis that pumps out 2,000 BTUs while forcing anyone nearby to don ear protection from its jet-engine cooling fans?
WAN acceleration and optimization appliances joined the virtual age a short while ago, but there always seemed to be issues with capacity and performance when compared to a high-powered physical appliance. Stuffing a WAN acceleration appliance, with its need for lots of disk I/O operations and network bandwidth, into a virtual host also running file, print, and database servers didn't seem like a good fit.

Little Egg Harbor Township Newsletter Spring/Summer 2013 Edition
Originally part of Burlington County, Little Egg Harbor took its name from the portion of a bay called Egg Harbor (known today as Little Egg Harbor) by the Dutch sailors because of the eggs found in nearby gull nests. The first known account of the town was made by Captain Cornelius Jacobsen May in 1614.
The first European to settle the township was Hendrick Jacobs Falkenberg, who likely arrived by 1693 when he does not appear on a census of the Swedes along the Delaware River, where he had lived for nearly three decades.[9] Though he was from Holstein (now in Germany), his first wife was a Finn and part of the Swedish community. Falkenberg settled on an 800-acre tract of land that he had acquired from the Lenni Lenape Indians in 1674, and a 1697 deed re-confirmed this earlier purchase. This tract included the two islands of Monhunk and Minnicunk later known as Wills Island and Osborn Island.
Falkenberg was a linguist, fluent in the Lenape language, and was considered southern New Jersey's foremost language interpreter involving land transactions between the Indians and the European settlers, particularly the English Quakers.
In October 1778, the Little Egg Harbor Massacre took place as Patrick Ferguson was wreaking havoc on Colonial shipping in the Mullica River. Kazimierz Pułaski and his newly raised forces were ordered to oppose his actions. Pulaski's Legion, along with three companies of light infantry, three troops of light horse, and one artillery detachment, came too late to be of great use against Ferguson's operations. But their arrival did stop Ferguson from raiding the iron works at Batsto, and stemmed their attacks on privateers at The Forks of the Mullica River.
They then set up camp on a farm. A deserter, Lt. Gustav Juliet, found Ferguson and told him of Pulaski's encampment; he mentioned that morale was fairly low, and security almost nonexistent, so that a surprise attack would be devastating. Ferguson promptly loaded 250 of his best men onto boats and rowed them, in the dark, some ten miles (16 km) to Osborne Island. He then marched them a further two miles (3 km) to the site of the infantry outpost, which comprised fifty men a short distance from the main encampment. At first light, Ferguson ordered the attack; only five of his quarry were taken alive. Pulaski eventually led his mounted troops up, causing Ferguson to retreat to his boats minus a few men that had fallen into the colonists' hands. A memorial on Radio Road commemorates the attack.
One of the first recorded ships of the township was a sloop belonging to Thomas Ridgway Sr. John Mathis Sr. also had a ship which his son, Daniel, sailed the West Indian routes. They made a profit from selling clams and oysters.

Our year-by-year look at the Broncos after the bye concludes with an examination of the 2000-05 seasons, when the Broncos won five of six after the week off.
- Bye Week: 9
- Record Going In: 4-4
- Immediately After Bye: W, 30-23 at New York Jets.
- Notes: The week before the bye, Corey Dillon sliced through the Broncos' defense for a then-NFL single-game rushing record. Denver proceeded to win six consecutive games upon its return.
- Bye Week: 16
- Record Going In: 7-7
- Immediately After Bye: W, 23-17 over Oakland Raiders.
- Notes: Christmas-week bye was followed by two games — win over playoff-bound Raiders and loss to Colts in game postponed due to Sept. 11 attacks.
- Bye Week: 9
- Record Going In: 6-2
- Immediately After Bye: L, 34-10 to Oakland.
- Notes: Oddly placed bye weeks ended with addition of Houston Texans pushing NFL to 32 teams; injuries would ravage Broncos in weeks after bye — Shannon Sharpe vs. Raiders, Brian Griese one week later at Seattle.
- Bye Week: 10
- Record Going In: 5-4
- Immediately After Bye: W, 37-8 over San Diego Chargers.
- Notes: Perhaps the timeliest bye in recent Broncos history; allowed Jake Plummer to get healthy and return for Chargers win, which was the first of a 5-1 run that pushed Broncos to playoffs. Team had lost three in a row under backups Steve Beuerlein and Danny Kanell before week off.
- Bye Week: 10
- Record Going In: 6-3
- Immediately After Bye: W, 34-13 at New Orleans Saints.
- Notes: Team scored fast at New Orleans and cruised to that win; bye week allowed John Lynch to miss little time with an injury; Broncos would go 4-3 after bye to finish 10-6 for second consecutive year.
- Bye Week: 9
- Record Going In: 6-2
- Immediately After Bye: W, 31-17 at Oakland Raiders.
- Notes: Broncos went 7-1 after bye with only loss coming by four points at Kansas City.

Celine Boogie Night Leather Strass Bag, Handbag of the Day
Buying a bag based on the fact that you like the name is not necessarily the best plan, but you have to admit that the Boogie Night Leather Strass Bag from Celine does have a good one. The smooth-grained black leather bag is adorned with jewel-cut crystals and bright silver hardware. It has two small rolled leather handles that fit nicely in hand, and a top zipper to keep everything inside secure when you're on the go. The lining is fabric and there is one pocket inside, as well as two tiny ones at either end on the outside of the purse. It measures only 8" x 4.75" x 3". Price: $930.

Law had an interesting take on Attorney General Patrick Morrisey's intervening/interfering on issues regarding implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
(In a one-week period, one of the two companies designated by the federal government to provide navigator services -- West Virginia Parent Training, Inc. - announced it would no longer participate and was turning down a $365,758 grant, after Morrisey sent the organization a letter with numerous questions about how it would manage the grant.
Perhaps not coincidentally, Aetna/Coventry Health Care announced it had pulled out of the West Virginia insurance exchange, leaving Blue Cross/Blue Shield as the only provider on the state exchange.)
Law commented: "It is interesting that business types, particularly insurance types who probably supported Morrisey's candidacy over incumbent Democrat Darrell McGraw, don't now have a nice thing to say about him since he is threatening their lucrative contracts."
• • •
Speaking of lucrative and health care, regarding last week's item about rumors that Big Pharma is shopping around for candidates to challenge House Health and Human Resources Chairman Don Perdue, D-Wayne, Consumer Healthcare Products Association lobbyist Abby Sobonya issued this statement:
"I have not worked to recruit a candidate to run against Chairman Don Perdue, nor would I. I have the utmost respect for Chairman Perdue, all legislators and those on either side of the pseudoephedrine issue. I contacted Chairman Perdue today and informed him that the accusations are completely false." (Naturally.)
• • •
Finally, I've been covering the statehouse long enough to discern certain things, like location has a big impact on legislators' attendance at national conferences.
In 2007, when the Council of State Governments had its national conference at the El Conquistador resort in Puerto Rico, 26 legislators attended.
This year's CSG conference, which runs Thursday-Sunday, is in Kansas City, and not even Delegate Danny Wells, D-Kanawha, is going.
As of Friday, only one legislator - Senate Majority Leader John Unger, D-Berkeley -- was registered to attend...
