Parson is leaning over the desk, his Bracer arm on the desktop. Behind him, the chair has the appearance of some kind of gargoyle - a large maw, two fangs, squinty eyes, and a strange Omega-shaped crest of horns. The upper expanse of the chair outside the face also give the impression of wings, though they do not stretch out any great distance.

Should Tax Payers Foot the $80K Bill for Downtown Lights?The city of Montgomery is sprucing up the riverfront by adding energy-efficient LED lights in the pedestrian tunnel. The estimated cost for these lights is $80,000, and that has some wondering if the plug needs to be pulled on this project. He says the pedestrian tunnel that leads to Riverfront Park will now be lined with these energy-efficient lights, which cost more than a $1,000 a panel. Making the total estimated cost of the project: $80,000. Emerson says he's still looking for outside funding, but as it stands, the city is paying for the lights. Emerson says the lights will be programmed, and likely be turned off during the day. The city hopes to have the lights on before New Years Day. |

Clearly a new strategy needs to be found. Street protests aren't going to work anymore.
General strikes perhaps?
ENCROACHMENT on freedom of speech rarely happens in one sweeping and frontal attack. Usually it consists of small steps taken by a government, and is often unnoticed by the public. Each of these steps can be explained at the time by some commercial or legal rationale. Yet, the result, invariably, is the same: more pro-government media and less freedom of speech. By the time the outside world wakes up, it is usually too late.
This is what happened in Russia in the early 2000s, and is what is now happening in Ukraine. One such small step has been a high court decision to pull broadcasting frequencies from two television channels. One of them, Channel 5, played a crucial role during the Orange revolution six years ago; the other, TVi, was set up by Vladimir Gusinsky, the former Russian media tycoon whose NTV television channel in Russia was the first victim of Vladimir Putin's squeeze on media.
The journalists of both TVi and Channel 5 blame Valery Khoroskhovsky, the media magnate who owns Inter Media Group, the country's largest television holding, and who doubles up as the head of Ukraine's security service. Mr Khoroskhovsky, they say, exerted influence on the regulator that allocates frequencies, acting in a clear conflict of interest, an allegation Mr Khoroskhovsky strongly denies.
The history goes as follows: In January Ukraine's National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting held a tender for new frequencies and Inter did worse than TVi and Channel 5. A few days later, Viktor Yanukovich was elected the president of Ukraine. He appointed Mr Khoroskhovsky, who had proved his loyalty to Mr Yanukovich during the election campaign, as the head of SBU, the security service. More recently, Mr Khoroshkovsky has also joined the High Council of Justice, a new powerful body which oversees the work of the courts.
Mr Khoroskhovsky wasted little time and launched an investigation demanding documents from the regulator about the tender. Inter then asked the court to cancel the results of an earlier tender and the court obliged, citing irregularities in the earlier tender. As a result TVi will remain a satellite channel with little coverage in Ukraine, and Channel 5, whose licence allows it to be mainly about entertainment, may not be able to retain its news programmes.
The journalists of both channels have cried foul and appealed to Mr Yanukovich to defend freedom of speech. To be fair, few journalists performed their duty to report with balance and integrity on the affairs of the state before Mr Yanukovich came to power. Paid articles and TV reports were common practice. Still, Ukrainian media was pluralistic even if it was not independent. Losing it would be a serious step back for democracy. The government's assertion of control over television cannot be justified by the failures of journalists. But those failures make pressure easier to apply.

Clearly a new strategy needs to be found. Street protests aren't going to work anymore.
General strikes perhaps?
It is a serious set-back to democracy and now new legislation is being drafted in Yanukovych's Ukraine that authorities must be notified four days before about any democratic protests or freedom of assembly demonstrations with more than 4 people! The militiaman might then on the spot decide whether a demonstration be allowed or not. This is not slouching but rushing to implant Putinism on Ukraine. If the success of how an unfree press can increase Putin's popularity is anything to go by, it seems little of the opposition will get much positive or any news. Yushchenko should have laid the legislative groundwork for T.V. freedom some time ago instead of wasting his time fighting Yulia and not Yanukovych. 5 kanal bravely reported on the Orange Revolution and the falsified 2004 election results.
Kanal 5 was the one real objective source on events in Ukraine. I hope they put up a fight and the Western press support them.

Is it almost a given that someone that has multiple As is pretty much an addict?
[This message edited by hoosiergirl at 8:38 PM, October 24th (Sunday)]
WH and I are almost D-ed. The moment he said "Lacy my time clock for you is ticking out- I can't wait for you forever" I knew it was over. Two days later we decided to D.
I've never looked back the decision and am eager to move forward.
Although, I do still struggle with the feelings that he is actually a SA- because we have a child together.
He's acting like he's still doing 'really good'. He has his family believing he is healed. I have NO CLUE what he's doing.... no a clue... in fact, I haven't for the entire 8 months. He sayd he's good, but there has been no proof since we've been separated since Feb.
He hasn't been into counseling for over 8 weeks now (since we decided to D) because he 'can't afford it anymore- it can't be priority right now'
So I guess I'm sitting here tonight wondering if he will ever truly get better... He told me about a month ago (when talking about custody issues) that he's not a sex addict (said with a cocky-ass tone) and that I've manipulated him and one day I'll wake up and realize what I did to him. He told me that my parents are treating him like a human being and that they should be reaching out to him- not avoiding him. Um.... isn't that a remorseful WH's job to do if he is truly sincere and wants to make things right?
Anyway, I've been catching up on this thread and reading what 7 wrote about white knuckling it....
If stbx has quit going to counseling, is there any hope? I only care because we have Little Dude together and I'm so worried...
How can you go from 20K in outstanding porn debt, to f-ing trannies, to better and healed in less than 6 months of therapy?
Just a random vent tonight. I'm so annoyed at the whole thing- how'd I end up here again?
[This message edited by Lacy J at 12:07 AM, October 25th (Monday)]
D-Day 2/18/10: 5+ years of porn, online dating, and cybersex and $20,000 secret cc debt to do so.

It sounds like denial and he's not ready to face his demons. Nothing you can do but to focus on taking care of yourself and LD.
So far I've stayed with my saWH. He hasn't begun to work his recovery. I have begun to work mine and I'm getting stronger. I don't know how much longer we will be together. Just taking things one day at a time. That's all any of us can do
At this point, if he wants to be in denial and decide he is not SA, there is nothing you can do about it. You have to let go of him. You are divorcing and you need to focus on you. You need to be able to set healthy boundaries to protect yourself from the drama of him and his family. You need to relearn what a healthy relationship is like. You need to understand why you were with him, to avoid getting hooked up with another addict. I believe that even if I wouldn't have married my H, with my FOO issues I probably would have married someone who was emotionally unavailable and addicted in some shape or form anyways. While my H has chosen to get real help, I have also begun my journey to healing. It just took us a long time to get here.
As far as your son, there will come a time in which being the child of an addict will affect him. I am sorry, but addiction is a family disease. I always thought I was doing my kids a favor keeping them in a 2 parent home where the addiction was hidden. On our last D-day they found out about his addiction, and it has been very difficult since. At some point, I hope you seek IC outside your church, and discuss with a CSAT when a good time to discuss issues pertaining to addiction might be with your son, as he grows older.
I wish you much happiness and health as you begin this new stage of your life. Keep on working on yourself; you are worth it!
I agree with 7 that multiple A's do not necessarily make one a SA. I am sure you have already checked out her excellent list of resources, and if not, please do!
I would add to her short description that SA's are people who do not form emotional connections with others. The sex is really not the important part of the addiction (I know that sounds like a contradiction). The addict is trying to cope with the stresses of his world and learns to use sex as his/her coping mechanism at a very early age, just like the alcoholic would learn to use a drink to cope. There is an escalation in behaviors, with disregard to the consequences. Much like the alcoholic/drug addict who can function at a certain level, eventually, the addict will hit rock bottom and everything will unravel. Most addicts do not seek help until this happens. If life is going along just fine, the addict will be reluctant to admit that there is a problem.
Recovery for the SA is a lifestyle change, just as it is for any other addict. 12 step groups, CSAT, etc. It is hard work. It is also hard work for the spouse. There are a lot of things we need to do to heal, too. I think (and this is my soapbox) that people think slapping a label on it means we can treat it and everything will be fine. Not really. My H admitted his SA almost 10 years ago to me. There was so much I didn't understand then. This isn't a quick fix. This is years of commitment on both parts to recovery. JMHO.
If your H feels that he does have a problem, he should be evaluated by a CSAT. That is step number one.
Thank you for the words...
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! I think I am going to find a counselor outside of my religion- I think that is a very good idea. Nothing against my counselors or my religious beliefs, as they have helped me beyond belief- but I do think it will be wise to get a secondary outlook ya know?
TMY, I must confess something to you... But not over the open thread. Look for a PM today
Hang in there... Thinking of you ...
I am still confused as to if he is an SA and how do I figure it out? I thought he just cheated on my with a cyber slut but now I wonder. Oh, he didn't think he had done anything wrong and didn't believe he cheated on me. I had to point out all the reasons why it was cheating before he agreed that he cheated on me. He went so far as to tell this cyber slut that he loved her over and over in emails. He told me that was just "playing games" when he told her that he loved her.
I still havent figured out which was worse, the cyber sex or him telling the cyber slut that he loved her and wanted to hold her in his arms. Each by itself is a betrayal and put together it is the ultimate torture for me the BS. I am trying to deal with all of this and want to understand why he did it. Is he an SA or just a plain cheating creep? I feel so lost and betrayed, I want to figure out where I belong so that I can go to the right counselor and begn my recovery. Can you folks help me to better understand how I determine into which category he actually belongs or if he belongs in both? And once I figure it out what do I do to begin to help myself recover? Any information you can share with me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
I am so sorry for all of your pain. My husband is a sex addict and this site and especially this thread has helped me enormously.
There is another member here that has helped me personally several times, 7yrsbetrayed. She has several posts for "newbies" to the SA forum. Click on "my profile" on the Forum page, then use the search area on the top of the page to add her user name. You will find all her recent posts.
In he meantime, I recommend that you go onto a website called sexhelp.com
It is a website created by Dr. Patrick Carnes, who is the leading authority in the US on sexual addiction. If you think your husband is a sex addict, start reading his books. There is a self-test that you and/or your husband can take to get you started.
Sexual anorexia (lack of sex) is VERY common for sex addicts. Sexual addiction is really an intimacy disorder. As hard as it is to understand, it is NOT about you -- feeling not pretty enough, not thin enough, not sexy enough, etc. (Even though we all feel that way in the beginning).
I found out about my husband last December and we are still together. It has not been easy, but we are still together. There is always hope.
We are all here for you. PM any time. Knutz
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and recommendations!
I did however call in for a COSA meeting today. Interesting. Not sure I understood most of it, but it was nice to hear a couple of people share stories that sounded similar. Are there any other support groups besides this website that anyone would recommend?>
In my experience, if a spouse suspects SA, she's rarely wrong. Trust your gut. It led you here.
If you go to page 3 of this thread and look for my user name you'll find my list of advice and resources for all newbies. Please start there and with the books I recommend (Mending a Shattered Heart and Deceived) rather than with books by Dr Carnes. His books are wonderful but better suited for the SA rather than a newly hurting spouse. knutz is right though, I do recommend you look at sexhelp.com, there is good info there.
PM me anytime. 7
Would like know some opinions. Right now WH is doing two SLAA meetings/week and MC once per week with me till after the new year when he can do IC under my insurance.
He's said he feels like SLAA is right for him and his addiction. My point is how would he know this if he's never been to a SA meeting? He doesn't. I asked if he would find an addiction specialist IC and here's his response: "Right now I want to give this therapy and the meetings a chance, I don't want to be all over the place."
OK, so given the fact that he just (in my opinion only) wasted 6 months with the wrong IC who was super passive, shouldn't he be trying different avenues right now then settling on what he feels will work?
My frustration is hard to keep in check. He, like others of course, has not dealt with his issues for many many years and now that he has the chance for help it's like he's not willing to do more than he feels comfortable with right now. Nothing about any of this is comfortable damn it.
In my opinion he likes SLAA because they don't require sobriety.
He's doing as little as possible.
Focus on you. Find resources for yourself. If he doesn't want to get sober you can't force him.
This morning, after a restless night of thinking, he's clearer now on the issue and wants to try out a few other options until he and IC/MC decide what is best suited for his problem. I knew he would come around and I'm sure you know all too well it's very hard to just sit back. Doing my best!

Rural America
At Carsey, interdisciplinary teams conduct research on changing rural communities with special attention to how environmental stewardship, local energy production, and cultural development can revitalize these communities and the families in them. Carsey researchers develop valuable tools and build knowledge to help a wide variety of stakeholders--from development practitioners to policy makers and the media--understand how different rural areas experience social and economic change. Raising awareness and understanding about conditions in rural America is the first step to building constituencies and policies that will push for needed rural reform.
A key component of Carsey's rural America work involves purposeful collaboration between university researchers and community development practitioners to improve understanding of the factors involved in successful development interventions and the ingredients needed to take them to scale.

I'm having a little trouble exporting sheets to DWF.
It wall works except if the sheet being exported does not have the print setup zoon set to 100% before running my addin the sheets will print to DWF scaled to fit or whatever scale factor it set to. I'm therefor trying to make sure the print zoom scale is set to 100% in my code before calling the export dwf method but its not changing the zoom.
This is my code...
Dim ptManager As PrintManager = uidoc.Document.PrintManager Dim ptSetup As PrintSetup = ptManager.PrintSetup Dim ptParameters As PrintParameters = ptSetup.CurrentPrintSetting.PrintParameters ptParameters.ZoomType = ZoomType.Zoom ptParameters.Zoom = 100 Try ptManager.ViewSheetSetting.Save() Catch ex As Exception End Try Try ptManager.PrintSetup.Save() Catch ex As Exception End Try uidoc.Document.Export(sbIssuePath.ToString, sbFile.ToString, views, DWFExpOpt)
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Hi Russ
The PrintManager class is used to configure for print settings and not for DWF export. Using this class, we can setup a printer and accordingly get access to available paper sizes, zoom level etc.
For DWF Export, as you might have noticed from Revit UI, it uses the Revit DWF Exporter and its settings (including Sheet sizes, and other settings, etc) are typically controlled by the DWFExportOptions. Unfortunately, zoom is not part of this as yet. The Development team is aware of how useful this would be and I hope we get to see this ability to set Zoom programmatically for DWF export soon too.
I've got it working now but yes it would be so much cleaner to have zoom as part of the DWF Export Options.
A PDF Export function would be a bit useful as well
Glad to know that you got the DWF Export piece to work. Thanks for letting me know.
Regarding PDF exports, if you have a PDF Writer Driver installed, we can use the Print Manager API itself and set this driver and export to PDFs.
Hope this helps
yeah well seems to be quite hit and miss printing a sheet to PDF. Trying to print the active view (which would have just been exported to DWG and DWF and sometime the app doesn't think there is a view selected but I can't see why as when I debug and step thjough I always have a view selected.
i'll keep trying

The pen is mightier than the sword
Monday, 15 July 2013 10:58
Timothy Houston
My daughter recently had an on-going issue with a local government agency. Despite her repeated phone calls and several in-person visits (including one with the director), she did not receive any attempts to resolve the issue. She then decided to put pen to paper and write a letter to the director and copy key local government representatives. The very next day she received a call from the director acknowledging receipt of the letter and asking her to come in to meet. The director indicated that she was now taking personal responsibility for her case, and once the issue was resolved, she would follow up in writing to her as well as the state reps that she copied. My daughter's case is one of many that indicate that the pen is still mightier than the sword.

We hold these truths to be self-evident

Timothy Houston
There are some truths that are evident to all, and one of them is that all men are created equal. This week America celebrates a national holiday commemorating the drafting, signing, and approval of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important documents in the history of America and the African American people. This document later became the catalyst for other key documents including the Emancipation Proclamation, 13th amendment abolishing slavery, and the 15th amendment prohibiting the denial of suffrage based on race or colour. The Declaration of Independence along with these other document reinforced the self-evident truth that all me are created equal.

Although I have previously written on the top of the pillars of a healthy relationship, I still get a lot of questions around the key ingredients needed to build a successful one. Successful relationships are built beyond the human eye. I believe that below the surface of every bond, the following key components must exist. These components are honesty, trust, intimacy, and communication. These 4 mainstays serve as the necessary support for all the other components needed for success and are the fundamentals for all relationships.

Blended families 101
Monday, 17 June 2013 10:52
Timothy Houston
What is a blended family? In its most basic sense, a blended family is one where the parents have children from previous relationships but all the members come together as one unit. It is said that the blended family is now the predominant form of family and it is estimated that there are approximately 23 million blended families in the United States. However, as blended families become increasingly common, the definition of a blended family is changing. Understanding the basics of a blended family can be essential for ensuring that your family can embrace its strengths to work through its differences.

Police in Washington state and Colorado are trying to teach old dogs to unlearn an old trick. For as long as dogs have been trained to assist police officers, they've been helping make drug busts. But now that the recreational use of marijuana is legal in those two states, officers are in a K-9 quandary

First, I don't think you are a bad moderator (you know I like you). I just thought you showed poor moderating judgement in this particular case.
As you know, I bust balls here all day. And expect it back. The best way for people to show they like you is to tease. This indicates that you're part of the group or milieu, as southside would say.
That's why I asked you to educate yourself of the situation before responding further. But, all you did was call me out for not "sacking up". Even in this post, you say I'm being too sensitive without knowing any of the particulars. Yet, you laude Peebag for apologizing. What you failed to realize is that he's done this before and apologized. So, I just keep on letting it go? After I've spoken politely to him about it in both posts and PMs?
Finally, I have no "blood feud" with Peebag. I just expressed myself in kind and was done with it, hoping he would finally get the message.
That's all I'll say on the matter. If you wish, you may have the final word.
ASIDE: Banks, told ya I had the skills to get posts/views in a Model Train Thread.
FTR, I have spoken to Peebag about his behavior on several occasions. For some reason, he's not getting my message. Maybe he doesn't understand humor and it's application in various contexts.
I don't mind it acerbic comments at all. If they're warranted. As I told him in a PM, for some reason known only to him, Peebag's snipes are coming from a place of mean spiritedness. No joke, I truly believe he's pi$$ed that I slammed Steely Dan in a music thread. Go figure.
Guys... wtf.
I once took my son when he was three to a model train show at a local high school on a Saturday.
Creepiest thing I've ever been to.
Googling train stuff can be fun.

Lil Wayne - Got Money (Remix) ft. T-Pain & Mack Maine
Artist: Lil Wayne
Featuring: T-Pain , Mack Maine
Producer: Play-N-Skillz
Album: Carter III
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 72 total votes )
When DJBooth was originally sent the Lil' Wayne and T-Pain collaboration, Got Money, we were informed that the record would not be placed on Wayne's impending Carter III release. Since that feature went live, however, Wayne's camp evidently changed their minds and the Play-N-Skillz track will, in fact, be on the album. Now, only days away from the biggest thing to hit the mainstream since sliced bread, Wayne has leaked a remix to Got Money, which features the rapping talents of… Mack Maine? Yup, signed to Young Money Entertainment (unlike the departed Curren$y), Maine hops on the record for the final 16 bars, highlighting his skills as two flights below his boss. Hold your breath, because by the time this one gets played out, C3 will finally be available.
Note: The streaming of "Got Money (Remix)" has temporarily been suspended.

Create your own Street View hyper-lapse videos
If you love road trips -- even ones you take while never leaving your living room -- design agency Teehan+Lax's Labs unit has an intriguing tool: virtual animations of journeys based on Google Street View footage.
The Street View Hyperlapse animator creates interactive hyper-lapse sequences, which are time-lapse sequences with sweeping camera movements.
So if you're virtually driving down the highway in a Street View car, for instance, you can click on an icon and move it around to change the camera angle.
This simple tool eliminates the time-consuming stitching of photos taken from different locations to create a hyper-lapse shot. … Read more

Tufted titmouse - a common bird seen at bird feeders in northern Westchester County.
Birds are important indicators of environmental quality and habitat conditions.
Audubon is often associated with birdwatching, or birding, but bird conservation is our primary focus.
Birds are active year-round. Most are active during daylight hours. Birds come in a wide variety of colors. Birds make sounds. Birds fly. For these reasons and more, birds are the most visible form of wildlife and easiest to observe.
By watching and counting birds, Audubon monitors environmental health.
Birding is the fasting growing recreational sport, and it's fun!

Roast the Ultimate Chicken with Jacques Pepin
No one really wants to cook French food anymore, right? At home, at least. Who wants to bother with simmering pots of stock for hours? Is a roux-thickened sauce an impressive demonstration of technique or an invitation to horrible misadventures in burnt flour and recalcitrant clumps? The very things that used to impress us about French food–the mastery of impossibly meticulous technique–now simply alienate us. But some French chefs remind... Read More

Spyware & Adware
1) What is spyware and how you might get it?
2) What types of spyware are out there?
3) What are the signs that you have spyware on your computer?
4) How can I avoid getting spyware?
A. Spyware/Adware is a technology that is installed on a computer without your consent. It is designed to collect personal information about you or your organization from your computer. Information such as the web sites that you visit, your username and passwords, is usually relayed to advertisers or other interested parties. Spyware can also be referred to as malware, parasites, spybot and tracking software.
The spyware technology may deliver annoying or improper pop-up ads, redirect your browser to certain web sites or cause abnormal browsing behavior, and slow down your computer. Here is SANS Top 15 Malicious Spyware Actions .
Spyware is downloaded to your computer from the websites you visit as a software virus, or as a result as of installing a program when you agree to download another program. Sometimes it is even stated in a user agreement and when you agree to agree/accept to download a program you wish to have, you also agree to download spyware. Sometimes is installed as the result of clicking some option in a deceptive pop-up window. Some software claims to be free but does not reveal that it also contains spyware.
Back to top
A. Different spyware performs a variety of different action. The list of the different types of spyware keeps growing. Here are just a few common spyware types: Adware, Backdoor trojans, Keyloggers, Botnet worms, Password stealers, Browser Helper Objects (BHO), Page or Browser Hijackers and many others.
Get more information on the types of the spyware from the following sites:
Encyclopedia of Computer Parasites
Wikipedia also provides following list of the notable programs distributed with spyware:
What Types of Spyware are Out There?
Keyloggers: How They Workand How to Detect Them
Wikipedia's Adware List
- Bonzi Buddy
- Dope Wars
- EDonkey2000
- Grokster
- Kazaa
- Morpheus
- RadLight
- WeatherBug
- SpyEagle is a spyware program that is disguised as an antivirus program.
A. Here are a few symptoms of the spyware running on your computer:
- nonstop pop-up windows or ads
- Redirection to websites other than what is typed in to the browser address box
- your Internet home page has suddenly changed new and unexpected toolbars in the web browser
- new and unexpected icons on the system tray at the bottom of your screen
- certain keys fail to work, for example the tab key
- you see random error messages
- your default search engine has changed
- your computer seems to be running very slow when opening programs or processing tasks (saving files, etc.)
A. Follow these simple rules to prevent downloading spyware on your computer:
Never allow downloads from unknown/untrusted websites. Don't install or download anything without knowing exactly what it is. Be aware of the free software – you might download spyware when you download Internet data such as utilities, games, toolbars, or media players other software. Carefully read all agreements and privacy statements.
Avoid clicking on links unless you know it's safe. Don't click on links within pop-up windows! Creators of spyware software use pop-up ads and dialogs to trick people into loading their software. Banners such as "You have won!" or "Click to collect your prize!" are examples of such tricks. Just one time clicking on the window may install spyware software on your computer. Close the pop-up window by click on the "X" icon instead of a "close" link within the window. Clicking buttons that say "CLOSE" or "NO" will install the spyware on your computer! Another safe way to close a pop-up window or a suspicions webpage is to press Alt-F4 on your keyboard.
Don't follow email links claiming to offer free software or even anti-spyware software – these links may actually install the spyware. When you are getting their program for free, chances are they are selling your email address to spammers or installing spyware on your computer.
Be very careful of the peer-to-peer file-sharing services. Even the most popular applications such as Kazaa and EDonkey2000 include spyware in their installation procedures.
Install anti-virus software and run a full scan on your computer regularly.
Run a spyware detection and removal program. Antispyware software packages that work well are: Malwarebytes , Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware
Install the most current version of the web browsers you are using.
Adjust your browser security settings to medium or higher and learn how to block or limit pop-up windows. Deny the browser permission to install any ActiveX control you haven't requested.

- Mozilla Firefox's Security Panel options

Our doctoral students gain a global perspective on the profession as they receive guidance from faculty supervisors on two continents.
Secondary menu
The San José Gateway PhD program is an international doctoral degree program offered in partnership between the nationally ranked San José State University School of Library and Information Science (SJSU SLIS) and Queensland University of Technology (QUT), ranked Australia's top university under 50 years old in the Times Higher Education Top 100 Under 50 rankings. The program prepares individuals for research, faculty, and leadership positions in the field of library and information science.
With this convenient, primarily online program, information professionals and academics can earn their Doctorate of Philosophy degree with a focus on Library and Information Science, granted by QUT, without having to relocate or disrupt their current careers. The doctoral program can be completed on a part-time basis with up to eight years total duration.
San José Gateway PhD students focus on their research from the very beginning of the program. They conduct original research and receive one-on-one mentoring from faculty who are award-winning scholars, researchers, and educators, representing two continents and a truly international perspective.
Doctoral students also participate in monthly online seminars, keeping in touch with members of their cohort and their international supervisory committee. "One of the unexpected and valued benefits of the program was the input and support I received from faculty members who were not necessarily on my supervisory team but who took an interest in my work," said Dr. Mary Ann Harlan, San José Gateway PhD program alumna (2012).
Twice a year, the San José Gateway PhD students and faculty meet in-person during short residencies held at San José State University in San José, California, and at an annual research conference (currently, the American Society for Information Science & Technology [ASIS&T]). "The residencies, when I could meet in person with my supervisors, were energizing. The monthly online meetings were also useful in checking in and keeping in contact, so I never felt on my own," said Dr. Diana Wakimoto, the first individual to complete the San José Gateway PhD program.
This unique part-time doctoral program launched in 2008, and three doctoral students including Drs. Harlan and Wakimoto completed the San José Gateway PhD program in 2012, and two additional graduates completed in 2013, earning their Doctor of Philosophy in recognition of their erudition in a broad field of learning and for notable accomplishment in the field through an original and substantial contribution to knowledge.
For more information about the San José Gateway PhD Program, we invite you to visit the following web pages:

Yes, from the title this does sound totally gross and I admit, it took some coaxing to get me to try it. However, it's amazing! It goes great with chips or crackers. Very simple too. A note, I use a small can of pineapple, I'm not exactly sure how many ounces it is.

Provence-Last day
Today we ventured to Pont du Gard a well preserved Roman aqueduct. We then headed further to the city of Orange and explored the Roman ruins. Lots of wine vineyards, small quaint towns and round abouts. A great way to wind down...
Provence Day 2
Today we headed out of Avignon through the Provence country side south to the city of Les Baux to visit the historic area. It was a beautiful drive through endless round abouts, thank God for our navigation system.
On the return we drove through the small quaint town of St. Remy. There was minimal parking as a bull fight was about to begin.
Avignon and Orange
... filtering back into our minds. We then drove onto Orange after George's recommendation. We found the enormous Ancient Theatre and took the self guided tour. This place dates back to 34BC and it was truly impressive. Just sitting in the arena gave you a feel of what it was like to listen to a show so many years ago. The way this audio tour was presented and the video footage was brilliant. It really gave you a good insight into what was known about the place and ...
Provence here we come...Avignon...Last Stop
... We finally were instructed by hotel staff at Auberge to enter the postal code, and finally we found our next destination in the navigation. Off we went...three hours later we arrived in Avignon.
Relaxing today...sights tomorrow. This hotel is beautiful. ...
Nimes and Pont du Gard
... the beginning of a 4 day yearly festival of bull fighting. It is the only city in France where bullfighting is allowed and the town celebrates with the theme. The bull fighting was to occur in the Arena
We finally returned to our accommodation, as this was our last night in France. Peter and Joe were to head off to Paris, and Mary and I were to head to Spain.

Are you serious? Calm down! It's not as if there are warlus-ethusiasts/animal activists going nuts about the Kalu'ak.
I love the conspiracy speculation about why Panderans aren't in the game. How about they just haven't found an appropiate reason to have them yet? Blizzard don't just add races for the hell of it, even though looking at the amount of sentient species on Azeroth, you'd be forgiven for thinking so.

The NRA Shooting Game for 4-Year-Olds?
January 15, 2013
© itunes
The new shooting game NRA: Practice Range is sparking controversy, as its awkwardly-timed release falls directly in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy.
Yesterday the video game news and gossip site Kotaku reported that the free game, which involves shooting moving targets with weapons like handguns and assault rifles, was available for download and marketed to kids ages 4 and up. But game designer MEDL Mobile replied on Twitter that the app aims to promote gun safety and is not in fact for kids ages 4 and older. So who exactly is this National Rifle Association-branded game targeting?
NRA: Practice Range is given a rating of 4+ on the iTunes site, but it is unclear as to whether that is an explicit reference to age. When asked what the rating refers to, an Apple rep told Parenting.com that she did not know and emailed a link from Apple's support page. According to the page, "an app rated 4+ contains nonobjectionable material, but an app rated 9+ may not be suitable for children under the age of 9." Apple's media contact has not responded with clarification.
Plus: Do Video Games Cause Violent Behavior?
Those familiar with National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre's outcry against video games last month may be surprised that the app is listed as an "Official NRA Licensed Product" on iTunes. After the Sandy Hook shooting LaPierre called gaming "a corrupt shadow industry that sells and sows violence against its own people" and blamed the tragedy on games like Mortal Kombat and Bulletstorm, reported Kotaku.
Plus: 10 Violent Video Games to Avoid
So is this new game a huge PR gaffe for the NRA? Or a super-savvy marketing move? Game designer and scholar Ian Bogost seems to think its consistent with the NRA's message.
"It's another specimen in the NRA's ongoing effort to present gun ownership and use as a part of a practice of sportsmanship and as participation in an existing community of 'responsible gun owners,'" he told Kotaku. "Contrary to immediate reaction among some of the game playing and development community, the NRA's presentation of the game as an educational tool fit for kids will read as consistent with their overall project and message among NRA supporters."
Should there be an age rating for NRA: Practice Range, or is it an educational tool appropriate for all ages? Leave a comment.

Did monitoring and testing bp was 135/82 and I was still 1 cm but 70%effaced and I now actually know what a contraction(a mild mild one) feels like since I could see the screen and feel it and those where about 15 min apart. Got a shot of dermal and sent home. Had irregular waking me up here and there contractions last night. But only a few scattered through the day so far, although we thought my water might of broken this morning after some *cough fun time* so I laid down for awhile to see and it wasn't =/ I think we are just so ready that every little thing we are freaked out.

Well, #2 finally arrived! and of course he decided that sharing his brother's birthday was an awesome idea! I vbac'd with venthouse assistance and he arrived at 7.42am on the 29th., weighing in at 4.2kg. He had a few breathing issues and his glucose dropped so he's still in the special baby care unit. Really hoping we can go home later this afternoon! Still haven't settled on a name yet.

Great job, rin! I hope he makes a quick recovery and that you're feeling well, too.
As for the shared birthday, at least you might be able to get away with a shared birthday party for a few years, too! We are doing that this fall with #1 and #2, and it's honestly a big relief.Mom to James Daniel (9), William Joseph (8), Elise Marie (7), and Zachary Allan (baby)

i like jungle gym's.
so after going through a bunch of specs i had my choice of a nv4500 or a sm465. going with a later 465. little shorter and i like the gearing better.second will be my hill shooting gear and first gives me a nice crawl gear.will never use fifth gear in the 4500 so no need for the extra weight and length. so first gear is a 6.55 second is a 3.58.3rd is 1.57, 4th is 1.0. should be right on the money for what i want.
going to clock my 205 more and change to a 32 spline female gear so it will be all 32 spline stuff.tcase and tranny.will have a bigger clutch with the 465 and will be bolted directly to my motor instead of using the adapter i have now. the whole idea is to have a good strong drivetrain this way.keep a 4.10 ring and pinion.

People in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond can save lives by becoming donors
An effort to educate adults 50 and older about the importance of registering to be organ, eye, and tissue donors was launched today in observance of Older Americans Month. The campaign was developed by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), in partnership with the Administration for Community Living's Administration on Aging and the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging.
More than 114,000 people are on the national transplant waiting list for an organ, and more than 100 of them die each week waiting for an organ that never comes. In 2011, people 50 and older accounted for 32 percent of donors but 60 percent of the total number of transplants.
"It's important for everyone to know any age can be the right age to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor," said Howard K. Koh, M.D., M.P.H., assistant secretary for health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "Imagine how many more lives we could save if the majority of the more than 99 million Americans 50 years old, or older signed up to give the gift of life."
The 50 plus campaign was developed to dispel the myth that there are age limitations for giving the gift of life through organ, eye and tissue donation or for being a transplant recipient. Adults well into their 90s have successfully donated organs, extending the lives of recipients. Campaign materials include a brochure in English and Spanish; an article; radio and print public service announcements; and web banners.
"A poll conducted of adults in the United States shows that the majority of them believe organ donation is the right thing to do, but many of those have not yet taken the next step of signing up on a donor registry," said HRSA Administrator Mary Wakefield, Ph.D., R.N. "Together we can add to the more than 100 million people who have signed up."
To learn more about the campaign, visit www.organdonor.gov and click on the 50+ campaign button, and continue the conversation on Facebook at www.facebook.com/organdonor.gov .

Gwinnett Daily Post
A new manager takes over a department or division and immediately begins issuing edicts, disbanding committees, replacing people, and squelching the inevitable dissent -- through fear and intimidation, if necessary.
In another area, a new manager comes in and right away starts working to build consensus, listening to those who have been there longer and seeking to understand the issues before making any drastic decisions.
How can two people in such similar situations take such radically divergent approaches?
One of the most misunderstood aspects of management, I believe, is the difference between leadership and control. Sadly, too many managers are focused primarily on controlling the people and circumstances around them rather than on providing actual leadership to their areas.
Ironically enough, these are often the same individuals who, as underlings, squawked the loudest when they felt that their managers were too authoritarian. Obviously they've never been taught, either by example or any other means, the qualities that make a good leader.
True leadership requires humility, a willingness to listen, to admit that others might know more about a given area or situation, to acknowledge that one might actually be wrong on occasion. Control, on the other hand, is prideful and arrogant, seeking to have its own way and make others conform to its vision. An effective leader listens more than speaks, whispers more than shouts, apologizes more than blames.
True leadership seeks to serve rather than to be served. History and religious tradition provide many examples of such leaders, from Ghandi to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., from Socrates to Jesus Christ, who famously taught that the last shall be first and the first shall be last. Leaders understand that one of their most important functions -- perhaps the most important -- is to help the people they lead reach their full potential, and not to exploit those people for their own gain, to make themselves look good, or advance their own careers.
Ultimately, leadership is all about trust. The best leaders demonstrate trust in those around them, which is the opposite of control because it involves a great deal of letting go and no small amount of self-effacement, which brings us back to humility. Great leaders are also trustworthy, meaning that they tell the truth, do what they say they're going to do, and go to the mat in defense of what they believe is right. Control tends to be cynical, calculating, and inconsistent.
The great paradox of leadership is that by letting go, we ultimately gain mastery over our situations, together with our colleagues; whereas, by attempting to clamp down, we merely invite passive aggressive resistance, if not outright mutiny, which in the end leads to chaos. This is a true and time-honored principle that all great leaders seem to understand intuitively, and one that control freaks can never seem to grasp.

and his trade value continues to decline. yea!
From the Observer, here's an article about Jack's technical problem. I like the guy and what he does on the court, but he HAS to be smarter than this. The only thing that gets me is him talking about things not being "fair"...if you're in your early 30's and haven't figured out the world isn't always fair, I don't know what would teach you.
and his trade value continues to decline. yea!
The answer to your question is...yes. It is that hard for him.
Jack was suspended for 1 game...so that actually equals 2 games of playing time since he was ejected so early
without pay for verbal abuse of ref and for failing to leave the court in a timely manner after ejection
the new rules this year are f'ing retarded.
The teams and players have zero recourse agianst refs acting like they have a vested interest in the game. And according to Tim Donaghy they often do.

We believe that its return will galvanize our fan base by unifying our loyal Bobcats fans with those who have strong memories of our city's NBA predecessor." MJ, 5-21-13
+1 Beagle! That was great!
