Android's Achilles Heel
Achilles had his heels. The Gremlins feared light. Dracula was no match to garlic. Android's weakness? The lack of OEM software updates.
I purchased the LG G2X earlier this year. As of today, it is a mere 17 months old. But before it had a chance to grow a full set of teeth, it was already been abandoned by both LG and T-Mobile. The phone, which shipped with an outdated version of Android when it was released (Froyo 2.2), has received only two updates from LG and T-Mobile. One was from Froyo to Gingerbread and the other a very minor update within Android's Gingerbread. That was almost 4 months ago.
I've never felt so unwanted by companies I was willing to support with my hard-earned money. What is even worse is the lack of communication from both LG and T-Mobile on the matter. Both companies play hot potato on the issue blaming each other for the lack of any real update. The end result? I'll never buy a phone or "smart TV" that carries the LG brand, because I know there will be zero commitment from that company to support their products. This is a big problem for Google who's Android operating system gets a black eye by association.
I might be in love with Android as a platform and for now my next phone will probably be a Google Nexus class device because Google itself has done an admirable job supporting their own Nexus devices. However, I hold no allegiance to any company and will use the device of whichever device has the best software, hardware, and support.
Forget fragmentation, if Android is to continue to prosper in the upcoming onslaught of Windows Phone 8, Google must be more aggressive with the Open Handset Alliance and require that they support their phones through at least a 24 month life cycle. The future of Android depends on it.

Politics of Language (Part 3)
This week we are talking about the politics of language. In the third part of our series we examine how internet technology is being used to disseminate those political catch phrases and messages we all hear and quickly repeat.
Cliff Lampe is assistant professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. He says politicians are using social media to their advantage.
"The political strategists are really trying to control the social media to the extent that they can... So part of the reason why you see so much instant messaging is to make sure that their message gets propagated in the way that they hope."
Coming up with content messaging that can be easily repeated has always been part of political strategies, according to Lampe.
"..."strategic defense" is a boring phrase, "star wars" is an exciting phrase. So how do you make something compelling. And I think that gets even more salient when you're looking at internet technologies."
Even if you don't use Facebook or Twitter, for example, you probably know someone who does. Lampe says people can be influenced by social media one way or another.
"The difference between online and offline has gotten increasingly blurred over the last few years and so something someone has been talking about online will suddenly be part of the water cooler conversation offline the next day."

I've been looking for a reasonably priced propane fired WH with built-in heat exchanger for DHW and closed circuit heating, did I miss it? The BW PDX2 and AO Vertex have side taps, but I would need additional flat plate exchanger to hook into my heating loop. Is there a model that includes the internal HX for less than $2000?
Not for less than $2K.
You might find an ~80% efficiency BW Combi-2 for around $2K but at current propane prices it's well worth going to a condensing system, even if it's a DIY design off a Vertex.

With pals Jimmy Fallon, Andy Samberg and Beverley Mitchell in attendance, Timberlake , 31, serenaded his bride, 30, with an original song as she walked down the aisle in a petal pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown. "That definitely started the tears," said Biel of the special moment. "Not just for me either. For pretty much everyone who was there!"

This store is nothing impressive from the outside; in fact, it looks to be as ghetto as Ann Arbor gets. While that's not particularly ghetto at all, it still didn't look like much. It's in a great location, though, particularly for visitors. It's right on the way into town coming off 94 from Toledo, and is directly next to one of the town's main parking garages. Inside, it's very large but looks essentially like a giant convenience store. The difference is that all they sell (besides some cigarettes) is alcohol. The selection is huge, with a cooler down a very long wall dedicated to beer as well as two long aisles, and when I reached the back of the store there was a large walk-in cooler with more craft beer. Prices are high, but I chalk that up to being MI for the most part.They may have been just a little higher than some other stores around, though. Still, it's a great place to find lots of stuff I'll never get in Ohio. There were about 8 different beers from Short's as well as Vivant, etc. and some small guys that don't do distro outside the state. It's definitely a good place to go.

When I visited: March 2012.
What I bought: Nothing, the prices were shockingly expensive.
What I liked: lots of rarities, as I saw all types of beers from Rogue, Mikkeller, Samuel Adams, and Founders that I had never even heard of. The clerk offered to help us as soon as we walked into the beer section, so the service was pretty good.
What I disliked: Prices were nearly double what I paid for comparable beers at Wine Seller and Plum Market.
Would I go back? Not unless they become more affordable.

The Main Party Store has an impressive selection of beers, both domestic and foreign. They also have a large walk-in cooler where a large proportion of the selection can be found. They have several special beers that I can find nowhere else. The people behind the counter are friendly. The place is a bit cramped inside, but this is not really much of an issue. The only downside of the store is that their prices tend to be higher than everyone else. Indeed, for some of the special limited release beers, the prices are unreasonably high.

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, and I definitely didn't expect much with a name like "Main Party Store." I was thinking that there would be a bunch of BMC beers and some snacks. I thought wrong. They had a very wide selection of beers and a big walk-in cooler. I appreciated the fact that you could buy a single bottle from any 6-pack in the store. They also had a pretty large selection of bottles only in the single variety, as well as a number of bombers. It is pretty tight inside, especially when the place gets busy, but the selection makes up for it. The only people working in the store are the cashiers up front, so if you're looking for a place to ask someone questions about which beer to buy, this doesn't seem to be the place for you. However, if you have an idea of what you're looking for and want a good selection of local and other beers, this is a good spot.

This place has very tight quarters. A pretty good selection of just about everything. Very nice walk in cooler with 6pks and 12pks. Large row of coolers with tons of craft and import bombers. Facing the coolers is a dry shelf with more singles, bombers and lots of odds and ends. There were lots of old seasonals laying around, and in general a lot of older beers, but no real gems to be had.
Overall, the prices were a little high, selection is pretty good. Nothing too rare, but a good selection of local beers, US craft beer, and imports. Definitely worth returning to.

I didn't expect much from this place. We entered to see 4 bums carrying 40's to the counter. The idea was to pick up some beers before we caught a concert in Detroit, and figured this was the closest place to where we were staying. After perusing all the wine we head to the coolers and BAM! To our surpise, it's not a cooler filled with OE and Hurricanes, but 22oz bottles of Rogue, Sam Adams Imperial, Victory, Stone, and much much more. There was a walk in cooler with 6 packs of so many different types of beer, from Flying Dog to "Beer:30".
The Beer:30 had us laughing for awhile.
The selection really is top notch here, and everything seemed pretty fresh. We picked up a 30 of PBR because we were afraid of the Beer:30 and also got some singles and a 4pack of Unibroue Trois Pistoles, as well as a party pack of Flying Dog. We stayed pretty safe, to say the least. We didn't really get too crazy. It was very inexpensive in my opinon, the 4 pack of Unibroue was only 9.99$. The worst part about it is the deposit on the cans & bottles.
The service was the worst part. Nobody could really help us with anything, there was no parking really, and the two people working the counter seemed to have trouble figuring out actually what the heck was going on.
Overall, a pleasant surprise.

This was probably my favorite shop that we visited while in town for the beer fest.
The downtown area is pretty awesome with walking distance to lots of beer destinations including another really good shop.
We were here after dark so there was a bunch of drunk homeless asking us for money. It doesnt really bother me too much, just slightly annoying to be asked for money all the time.
This place is pretty tight inside, Its hard to see what youre looking at since you have to stand so close to the shelves. There is one very tall, long shelf holding warm singles and large bottles (including a huge, huge Double Bastard for $80) Mirroring that is a line of coolers with yet more singles and large bottles and some 6 packs. In the back is a little walk in cooler that holds only 6 packs and cases.
The rest of the shop is full of liquor and two rows or so of wine.
This place had my favorite selection. A few Kuhnhenn singles, Short's that I havent seen anywhere else, lots of Belgians, Germans and British beers, Arcadia, Arbor and lots of other stuff. Kinda overwhelming for me.

We stopped by this place after leaving Beer Depot because we were searching for a Westmalle Trippel to clone. First time in Ann Arbor and I was surprised again with in five minutes to find two really nice beer stores and selections. Main probably has Beer Depot beat on selection, but overall Beer Depot is probably a little better due to all their beer brewing stuff...Main had a long row of craft, a long row of chilled craft, and then a big cooler in the back with some craft and a lot of macro stuff...The selection was really nice, had lots of staples Belgians and some harder to find ones, and tons of Michigan locals, including three bottles of Kuhnhenn.
This is a place to checkt out if you want to buy some Michigan locals.

Ann Arbor is a whore! Now that that is out of my system, I can get on to the review.
Quality: Main Street looks unimpressive from the street, a corner liquor store from the looks. Parking in front, not a lot though. Inside, three aisles of wine/liquor and one of beer, along with several coolers dedicated to beer.
Service: I neither sought out nor received any help.
Selection: A wide selection, especially in the Belgian realm. I was keenly intent on Michigan breweries (read that as Shorts) but came up empty. A less discriminating drinking will be pleased with the selection. Prices are moderate, in line with the rarity of the beer that is desired. Mad Hatter, Arbor, Founders, and Bells runs through the Michigan list.

Muck Fichigan.
visited on a Friday evening - minimal parking out front but a spot was easily obtained. there is a big garage right next to the joint and i'm sure theres free street parking in the vicinity.
very narrow beer aisle - if you can dodge sigma chi chotchbags buying cubes of natty lite, you'll find coolers full of jolly pumpkin, stone, southern tier, great divide and many other bombers. i noticed some obscure arbor brewing beers with hefty price tags. after a few minutes i realized i had not found any sixers, which was my primary reason for visiting
eventually i found the walkin cooler. the first thing i spotted was a bottom shelf full of shorts sixers. i was pretty excited about this since i wasnt sure they were distributed this far south. i scooped 2 sixers of the ipa, a sixer of the brown, and a sixer of the soft parade. i chuckled that they had mishawaka sixpacks. there was also some arbor stuff and lots of other michigan micros
while this place gets a b+, it is absolutely worht a stop if you are coming from out of state. We get a lot of this stuff in Wisco - but there is plenty that doesnt leave the borders.
pricing seemed a tad high, but i guess i dont really know. no service present

MATTER OF THE GUARDIANSHIP OF ANTOINETTER. R. J. G — This is a proceeding pursuant to Article 17-A of the Surrogate's Court Procedure Act for the appointment of the petitioners as guardians of the person of the respondent, an alleged mentally retarded person.
Upon the oral and documentary proof adduced at the hearing at which the respondent was present, it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the respondent is a mentally retarded person within the provisions of Article 17-A of the SCPA, that she lacks the capacity to make health care decisions, and that the petitioners and the proposed standby guardian are qualified to assume the responsibility of serving as the respondent's guardian.
Accordingly, the application is granted. Letters of guardianship of the person of the respondent shall issue to Phyllis G. and Thomas N., the respondent's parents. The respondent's sister, Shanell W., is appointed standby guardian to serve when the primary guardians are no longer able to do so, and shall assume the duties of her office subject to qualification and confirmation pursuant to SCPA 1757.
The Chief Clerk shall mail a copy of this decision and the decree to the pro se petitioners.
Decree signed.

Most recently, the French National Commission of Information Technology and Liberty (CNIL) [official website, in French] fined Google 100,000 euros (USD $141,300) this week for violating French data privacy laws [press release, in French; JURIST report]. In November, the UK Information Commissioner's Office [official website] found that Google had committed a "significant breach" [JURIST report] of the Data Protection Act [text] and required that Google delete the payload data it collected in the UK and implement employee training on privacy principles, security awareness and the Data Protection Act. Other countries, including Canada, Australia and Spain [JURIST reports], have launched similar investigations into the privacy breach. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) [official website] ended its inquiry [JURIST report] into Google's data collection through Street View cars after Google assured the FTC that it did not use any of the collected data and announced that it was committed to compliance with privacy laws [text], instituting new training on privacy principles and appointing a new director of privacy.

Protesters take to streets in Syria after Assad speech
EU and US ratchet up the pressure on Damascus; West dismisses Syrian president's accusations that riots instigated by "foreign conspirators and saboteurs."
Protesters swept into the streets in cities across Syria on Monday, following a speech by President Bashar Assad that left anti-government demonstrators frustrated, and officials in the European Union threatening to widen sanctions against his regime.
Assad's speech on Monday in Damascus, only the third he's given since the uprising began in March, offered vague promises of reform and a "national dialogue," but is not expected to placate protesters who have taken to the streets across the country in a popular uprising against his rule.
'Medvedev rules out UN resolution condemning Syria'
'Turkey to send Assad 'warning' on reforms'
As of Monday, the regime's violent crackdown of the uprising has left an estimated 1,200 or more Syrians dead, with more than 10,000 refugees currently in Turkey.
A witness who spoke toReuters by telephone on Monday reported seeing 300 protesters in the Damascus suburb of Irbin chanting "no to dialogue with murderers," while in Sunni districts of the coastal city of Latakia, protesters reportedly chanted "liar, liar" in a rebuke to Assad's speech.
In Hama, where the regime of Assad's father Hafez Assad brutally crushed a Muslim Brotherhood uprising, leaving thousands of civilians dead, demonstrators took to the streets chanting "damn your soul, Hafez," Reuters reported.
Other post-speech demonstrations took place in the eastern city of Albu Kamal on the Iraqi border, the southern city of Deraa and other nearby towns, and at the Aleppo University campus, activists told Reuters.
Also Monday, European Union officials said they would widen sanctions on Syria in response to the regime's violent crackdown of the uprising, with EU foreign ministers releasing a statement that read "The EU is actively preparing to expand its restrictive measures by additional designations with a view to achieving a fundamental change of policy by the Syrian leadership without delay."
The US also upped the ante on Assad, with US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland telling reporters "Bashar Assad has been making promises to his people for weeks, for years. What's important now is action, not words."
She added "with regard to Bashar Assad's allegation that what's going on in his country is the result of foreign instigators – we're just not buying it," in a rebuke of Assad's claim that "foreign conspirators" and "saboteurs" were responsible for the turmoil in Syria.
Assad's speech, which stretched for well over an hour, had a defiant tone, and attempted to portray the protests as being the working of nefarious agents in the employ of unnamed foreign powers.
"I don't think Syria has gone through a period in its history without a conspiracy that was linked to other interests. Conspiracies are like viruses, they increase and multiply and must be eradicated – but we can't become immune to them," Assad said Monday.
Assad portrayed his country as one that has historically been subject to repeated "conspiracies," and blamed much of the unrest on "external media pressure, the use of mobile phones by saboteurs, and the misinformation propagated against the country."
He also said that armed extremists are responsible for much of the bloodshed.
"This extremist mindset has tried to infiltrate into Syria and harm the unity of Syria.
This mindset has not changed; only the means and the faces have... This is the biggest obstacle to reform, we must contain this mindset and this extremist thinking."
Assad claimed that conspirators are "getting paid to film pictures and send them to outside channels and pretend they're from Syria," as well as "using peaceful protests as cover for their sabotage and assassination operations."
"They have hatred toward the people – they have the most sophisticated weapons and telecommunications systems," Assad said.
He also accused his enemies of working to cause "mental sabotage" of the Syrian people, which is "causing people to disrespect the institutions and the nation."
"Today we have young people – young children growing up with a lack of respect for institutions and hatred of the state. This will be reflected in the future, and the price will be high," he said.
Assad repeatedly made promises of impending reforms that he will launch, but gave no details or a timetable. He also did not specify what role opposition groups would play in the future of Syria.
Assad called for the people of Syria to be patient for reforms to be implemented, saying "we can not just move in one jump.
What we are trying to do now, we are building the future – the future will be our history, and it will impact on the thinking of future generations."
In addition to promises of reform, the president addressed outrage against corruption, saying "as for corruption, I have felt the need from the people that it should be fought against and put an end to."
He also described the need to stop the nepotism that he said is rife in the state.
In an oft-repeated refrain in the speech, Assad touted what he said are plans for a "national dialogue" that will help Syria address the problems facing it as a nation.
"We embark on the launch of a national dialogue that will bring together people from all walks of life," he said. "The whole future of Syria, if we want it to succeed, should be based on this national dialogue in which people from all walks of life will take part."
Assad said the Syrian economy is "the biggest problem facing Syria," adding that the state must work to restore trust in the country's economy.
He also called on all refugees that have fled Syria to return home – specifically those around the northwestern Syria town of Jisr al- Shughour that has been the site of a violent army crackdown over the past two weeks.
"I call for all those who left their town or village to come home," Assad said, also vowing that the state will not take vengeance upon them.
He said he would ask the justice ministry to expand amnesty for arrested protesters.
Towards the end of his remarks, Assad repeated his statement that Syria "is not a football to be kicked around by other outside players," and issued another call for reform.
"Some people want to reduce Syria to a tribal state, with closed borders. We need to reform our country from the inside and face the plots and plans of malevolent people, and we need to strengthen our domestic society against attacks against Syria. These attackers want to destroy society."

More fans watched the Broncos play in Denver this season than any other in the team's history.
The Broncos set a home attendance record with a total of 613,062 fans packing Sports Authority Field at Mile High. That topped the previous mark of 612,893 that was set in 2007.
That home-field advantage spurred the team to a 7-1 record at home this year — and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
The strong regular-season showing came on the heels of a record-setting training camp. A total of 84,380 fans took in the team's 16 open practices, which nearly doubled the previous record of 45,124 that was set in 2011.
The Broncos' road attendance of 544,717 fans ranked fifth in franchise history. Overall, 1,157,779 people watched the Broncos play live and in-person this year, with that total representing the third-most in team annals.
With the Broncos securing the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed, the road to New Orleans comes through Denver, where the team will be looking for their fans to amp up their intensity for the playoffs.
"We're going to need the crowd to be as loud as ever," defensive end Elvis Dumervil said. "As we practice it and get better, hopefully the fans are practicing getting louder."

Re: arithmetic seriesUse the difference between the sums to head towards an answer. The eclipses from Algol (an eclipsing binary star) come further apart in time when the Earth is moving away from Algol and closer together in time when the Earth is moving towards Algol, thereby proving that the speed of light is variable and that Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity is wrong. #4 2013-09-06 16:42:05

"Great Toy, but not quite there yet."
3.5 starson by msky2000Pros: Best of the tablets. Sleek, smooth, fun. Fantastic for gaming, checking some news headlines, quick weather reports. I don't see it as a powerful travel device as much as a fantastic little house gizmo. A coffee table / couch novelty if you will. The graph
Cons: Let's be frank. The tablet market, not just Apple - but the industry as a whole has yet to define its purpose. What is it doing better than laptops, netbooks, and especially the new super slim laptops like MacBook Air or comparable PCs? iPads, like all ta
Summary: So while tablets are fun toys, I don't think they've justified themselves just yet to be more than gaming / casual surfing / movie devices. I don't like the lack of Flash on the iPad, a huge setback in terms of maximizing the web experience - why pay for Hulu when its free on your laptop? I don't think they or anyone has yet to come up with a viable solution to the difficulty of inputting data on these things. I think that will come, I imagine the future being a more effective multi-part laptop of sorts, or a re-introduction of the stylus, or lip reading recognition. Thought recognition? This issue needs to be addressed because as smooth as the interface is, the beauty of the web is the two way conversation you can take place in, not just mindlessly paying for apps and viewing content slobbering all over your little thing in your lap. That's the other struggle, I find using an iPad or any tablet, you eventually want to set it down. This means on your lap, or on a table and in either instance, it's far more awkward on your neck and body than a basic laptop.
The up-close screen intimacy and the feeling of it not being a computer is what we're falling in love with. One can realize that an iPad actually feels like a bigger screen than even a huge screen computer because you're so close to the image when you use it. There is something to this, and there is something to the ease of use of touch screens. Clearly, it's a natural thing to touch reach out and grab what you want to manipulate, but thus far tablets feel more like prototypes. I'm excited about them, and patiently waiting to see where the market goes, but I don't think we've found the laptop replacement just yet as so many are claiming.

I completely agree on the whole flash thing but that i guess is whats special with Iproducts they don't do the same things :/ and to be fair no apple products like flash and it's not a computer so in that respect you can't fault it ...
I think laptops will be around for a while since it just seems more practical. I mean you have a screen and a key board right in front of you. Not some keyboard on the screen.
No Flash player? On the iPad? You just saved me a whole lot of suffering. Thanks.
I watch Netflix on my iPod Touch, but like you I'm frustrated that I can't see Hulu and the like. It's inexcusable because you know they have the capability; they just want to stick you for subscription costs.

The rise of social media has posed a challenge to the well-known. That challenge: working social media without being forced to work too hard on social media. After all, if you're rich and/or famous, blogging and tweeting is more likely to seem like a burden on your lifestyle than, say, a pastime.
An obvious solution: hire a ghostwriter. Which is precisely what many business executives, media personalities, professional athletes and celebrities have done. The February issue of Entrepreneur Magazine goes behind the scenes and profiles some of the 'ghostbloggers' who blog and tweet for well-known clients.

Even her battered knees couldn't stop her from waltzing away with the trophy. Amber Riley and her pro partner, Derek Hough, beat out Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff to win Season 17 of Dancing With the Stars Tuesday night. "I definitely feel beaten down right now," Riley says with a laugh. The Glee star, 27, who has been plagued with knee injuries all season, is looking forward to giving her whole body a rest — probably in Hawaii. "I've always wanted to go there," she says.
Who will win Season 17 of Dancing with the Stars? That's the big question heading in to the two-part finale, which begins tonight at 8/7c on ABC.
Competing tonight will be Bill Engvall and Emma Slater, Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke,Derek Hough and Amber Riley, and Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff. One of the four couples will be eliminated at the end of tonight's show, and the other three will perform a final routine tomorrow night before the winner is crowned.
"I think we have two completely different types of competitors," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told TVGuide.com ahead of Monday's show. "We have Corbin and Amber, who are in one class. And then you have Jack and Bill, who are totally of a different class. I think it's really interesting the way the fans have voted. I think people are really a fan of the whole idea of somebody who doesn't know how to dance really making the transformation, which is what Jack and Bill fall into."
Hey everyone, Woohoo! Finals! Thanks for all your votes and messages! Amber and I are so pumped. I can't believe it's my third final in a row. How crazy is that? We're really excited and it's been a great week so far. Last week was huge for us. We got our first individual perfect score, but most importantly, Amber got the all-clear from her doctors about her knees and that really gave her the confidence to go all out and kill it. We want to use that momentum from last week and ... read more
Only five contestants remain on Season 17 of Dancing with the Stars, and it's anybody's guess who will go home with the Mirrorball trophy. Only two of the semifinalists — Amber Riley and Corbin Bleu — have professional dance experience, but at this point in the competition, is that more of a hindrance or a help?
"[The judges] leave no room for error for us," Karina Smirnoff, who's partnered with Bleu, tells TVGuide.com.
Hey everyone,Thanks for your votes!Last week was a tough one for us, but I'm really proud of Amber and how she pulled through. We ended up having no rehearsal time.

A Virginia man has caught the largest northern snakehead on record with a rod and reel, landing a 17-pound, 6-ounce specimen of the fish often called "Frankenfish" for their monster-like appearance and tenacious survival skills.
Oklahoma Forestry Services is conducting an inventory of several central Oklahoma counties to determine the type of forest and woodlands they contain.
A Forest Inventory and Analysis crew is collecting data this month in Caddo, Canadian, Cleveland and Oklahoma counties. Foresters began the data collection in 2009. Every year since, foresters have gathered information about the amount of land under forest cover, the type of forests and tree species that are present, tree sizes, invasive species and forest health issues.
Years into their attempt to adopt a Cherokee girl, Matt and Melanie Capobianco say they can empathize with any sadness the girl's biological father might be feeling after being ordered to turn her over to them.
More than a year and a half ago, the Charleston-area couple was in a lawyer's office, tearfully handing over Veronica — whom they'd raised since birth — to the father, Dusten Brown, who lives in northeastern Oklahoma.
A city councilor in Owasso has filed a lawsuit claiming the city violated Oklahoma's open meeting and open records law.
The lawsuit filed by Councilor Patrick Ross claims that an investigative report on former City Manager Rodney Ray was given to councilors during an executive session in June, then collected before the closed-door meeting ended.
Ray was suspended with pay May 24 and the council ordered an investigation to look into an undisclosed employee complaint. He resigned in June and the city council approved a severance package worth more than $185,000.

A Philadelphia baby, born in May, is the first child in the world conceived using a new in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique, which screens embryos for chromosomal disorders and abnormalities before implantation.
People who use this technique will avoid implanting chromosomally abnormal embryos that would result in either not becoming pregnant, or in miscarriage.

There were 333,000 first-time claims for unemployment insurance last week, the Employment and Training Administration says. Claims were up 1.5 percent from the previous week's 328,000 — and basically remained at the lower end of the range where they've stayed for the better part of the last two years.

"The National Security Agency is searching the contents of vast amounts of Americans' e-mail and text communications into and out of the country, hunting for people who mention information about foreigners under surveillance, according to intelligence officials," The New York Times reported Thursday.
A summer fish kill in north-central Oklahoma is worrying anglers, river-goers and nearby water users.
The Salt Fork River die-off was massive and, still months after it was reported, mysterious. Researchers and state authorities say they still don't know who or what the killer is.
Two fish kills were reported to the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, records show. The first one on June 3, upstream near Lamont; the second on June 17, near Tonkawa. The two fish kills are likely related, so state authorities are investigating them as one event, officials from the DEQ, state Department of Wildlife Conservation and Corporation Commission tell StateImpact.
"In the areas that overlapped during the kills, there is absolutely zero aquatic life other than turtles," says Spencer Grace, a state game warden stationed in Kay County.

My friend just started to play 2 days ago and she just loves the game. I know it's much to ask for any of you to become friends with her but she's in level 12 already, playing almost all day long and really wants to help out :-). I introduced her to trading but she doesn't have any friends but me.
If anyone would like to be her friend let me know and I will tell her to add you. Or you can add her if you'd like :-) ... She's a real sweetheart.
Her GC ID is Frederikke90
Thank you!

i wouldn't say 'naturally' popular because it still takes a considerable amount of effort to build your brand to the point that people will visit it by typing in the url in the address bar or clicking a feed. but i believe its something for which all webmasters should aim. what if google were to tank tomorrow? or next year? it happened to some pretty big financial institutions last fall, so no company is immune to collapse. i advocate leveraging every source of traffic, so in absence of more effective solutions - e.g. redirects - a canonical tag may help some challenged webmasters aggregate page/trust rank, link juice or whatever is required for more exposure on the search engines.
A very laisser-faire attitude, a luxury enjoyed by those whose sites are naturally popular, enjoy other traffic streams, or don't NEED the leg-up from good SERP placement.

Malloy and Hahn are just fun to watch. So is everyone else, but those two just catch my eye.
Camera work in game two is awful
Looks like we lost a little focus after that relatively easy first set.
hope Jamie is ok.
Not looking so hot.
CFH HMagic bball season. Let my fred's Four Horsemen ride.
Making a run but can't make a mistake now down 22-24.
stuuuuuuuuupid. I was hoping we wouldn't drop a set this weekend. We shouldn't, not with how we've been playing.
Lost focus when Jamie went down, but she's back on the bench. Time to bring the pain these next two sets.
Why can we not keep our foot on the accelerator? This happens with this team. They can't seem to take prosperity. How do you get down 21-12 after winning the 1st set like that? It's crazy.

They gave IPF a little confidence, but with that run at the end, I think the focus will be back the rest of he way.
Jamie's back on the floor for set 3
Off to a rough start in set 3. Just tied it 3-3.
Come on ladies, let's roll them. This should be a team the subs could beat in their sleep.
Time out ISU down 8-11.
Need to change the blocking scheme. This is looking like early season.

Why everytime i open games or safari it always returning back to home screen?
Hi and welcome to the Forum!
You probably have a lot of apps still running in the background which need to be closed completely. From the home screen do the four finger swipe up or double press the home button to reveal your multi task bar. These are all the apps that you have opened at one time. Long press an app until it jiggles and a red minus sign will appear above it. Press the minus signs, this will close the apps, not delete them, now press the home button to return to your screen. It's also a good idea to close all these apps regularly as it helps the iPad run smoothly. Let us know if this fixes your problem.

Is it possible?
3 posts back to top |
Posted about 6 years ago I'm wondering is it possible to go to school to be an RN with four children at home? I know people have done this with family obligation, I'd like to hear from you. I desperately want to apply for this fall (2008). |
Account Removed 0 posts back to top |
| Posted about 6 years ago Be bold and take the first step. A journey of a million miles always need the first step. Sometimes our situation in life ae seen as barriers instead of opportunities. View your four children as opportunities, be their example. Maybe one of them will need you as a means of encouragement sometime in their life. They can say with courage and pride that my mom did it with four of us so I can do it. So go ahead, believe, have faith in your self and your dreams and just take one semester at a time. Before you know it you will be walking down the isle to receive your degree. Don't let anyone, or anything, or any negative thought stand in the way of what you can become. All the best to you "NURSE TO BE BOLDEN! YOU ROCK! |

| Posted about 6 years ago It is totally possible. I just finished my bachelors degree while working full-time and going to school part-time. I too have 4 children. The road to this success was hell but if you are devoted enough anythng is possible. |

| Posted about 6 years ago I am starting school to be an RN with 2 kids at home. I'm a full time student with 2 kids, and 2 part time jobs, but I besically started thinking like nurz4life is talking. Other people have done it with much harder circumstances, and I am a strong woman, so why not? Sure, it will be really hard, but if I take it one day, one week at a time, I can make it! I started looking into schools and degree options in october, and before I knew it I had received a Pell Grant and enrolled and I'm about to start school! In fact, I start school on Monday and I'm sooooooooo nervous! lol So just decide to take life by the horns and make a better life for you and your children, because that's what I am doing, and my family is so proud of me for it. My 6 year old daughter said, "Mama, you can use some of my Princess pencils for school if you want. You are gonna do so good, you are so smart!" And that just confirmed it all for me, that I am headed in the right direction. Good luck! |

| Posted about 6 years ago Thanks so much for the encouragement. I'm getting really excited and just moving forward without thinking about it too much or I'm afraid end up putting it off one more year. Michigangirl0522 my children are excited also and that makes me more determined. Keep a princess pencil with you at all times and that can be a small reminder of why your doing this and that you can make it. |

| Posted about 6 years ago When I was working on my Bachelor's Degree in Busin Admin, I also worked full-time with 2 kids at home. It is very important that you have at least one other person who supports your going to school. He/she/they would need to be involved in helping to care for your kids while you do your thing. My youngest child learned the word 'homework' before turning age 2. That's because he would ask me to play with him and then my response would be, 'not right now, I'm doing homework.' He's 4 now. He will be familiar with mommy doing homework once again. I sorta feel bad but I know that nursing is what I really want to do and the pay will be better to help support the family. Good luck to you. |

| Posted about 6 years ago Just wanted to say that I have four children ages 8 to almost 3 yrs. old, and I start my 1st nursing class next week. I just finished up all the general classes, and so now only have nursing classes to take. I am really excited and nervous too. My kids seem to like that I go to school. You can do it! |

| Posted about 6 years ago Hi, I just wanted to say that I am 48 yrs old and just recently started back to school. I have been working on my prereq's for CNA to RN program. I hope to start nursing school next spring. Yes, it is hard to balance school, home, work, etc but with preseverence it CAN be done. ....Just take one day at a time.....thats what im trying to do. I work full time in a hospital, and have a business that i work full time, and this semester i am taking 10 credit hrs. I am totally swamped, but knowing that it wont be forever helps to keep me going......if only I didnt have homework!!! lol |

| Posted about 6 years ago A big Hello! I can say this... just Go for it. Nothing can stop you if your mind and your goals are working in synch. Take one step and each day as it comes. Have no worries. Only assume that the best will be found and work towards what you see as your personal achievements and they will come to you. The universe provides when we accept reality and work towards who we truly are inside of it. That's a plan that's worked for me so far. In 15 months i'll graduate with my LPN after 18 years as a CNA ( also working various other jobs along the way), raised one healthy, happy son who is heading off to college himself in the fall and another who is 7 and in 2nd grade. It may have taken me longer than most, but slowly in a long life my dreams are coming true one at a time. How we best find them. Roll with it and Good Luck to All!!! |

| Posted about 6 years ago 1997I really commend each and everyone of you. I will be starting Henry Ford community college on monday to complete my prerequisites to enter the nursing program. I too have 5 children ages ranging from 15 to 5. I have struggled trying to make a good honest living all of their lives, however many set backs has stood in the way of me completing this task, like my illness, I have lupus. I was diagnosed with this disease in 1997, however my dream and desire and spirit was never broken. When I felt better I would enroll again and start where I left off. I know this will be a challenge, but I up for it. Looking at each one of them makes the load a little lighter because I know that I can do it and I will do it!! I will take the NET next month. I am a little nervous about it but on the other hand I have all the confidence in the world. I know that this is my calling. The Best of luck to you all, stay strong. |

| Posted about 6 years ago Meeting the obligations of nursing school, job, and family can be difficult, but it is not impossible. The key is to have your family on board. They must understand and accept that your time will be limited, and they will not see much of you. They must be willing to help you with chores around the house, and to help take care of each other. The family will sacrifice with you, but they will also share in the joy of your graduation when you fiinish. Schools often cite the contributions of family duirng pinning ceremonies. Plan ahead. Have a family meeting. Create schedules. Include family time in that schedule, and make them feel a part of your educational processes. The reward is the upscaling of your quality of life after you get your license. Re Entrance Exams. Different schools have different requirements and may use different tests as part of their admission process. My school, for example, uses the TEAS test (Test of Essential Academic Skills ) produced by ATI (a private testing company). Appliants must score a composite score of 70 to even be considered. After that, it's a matter of getting enough ranking points. We admit students based on the total number of ranking points they earn based on their grades, health care related work history, and health care related educations (CNA, medical assistant, EMT, etc) Other schools have no entrance exam, but require personal interviews with faculty. Some schools have waiting lists, others do not (mine doesn't). The difficulty leve of an entrance exam will depend entirely on the exam used. See if there is a study guide available for yours. If you don't like your score, see if you are allowed to retest to try and improve it. |

| Posted about 6 years ago I went back to school at the age of 41, as did my mother before me. That was three years ago -- I've completed all my prereqs and started the nursing program this past fall. I have three boys, ages 17, 15, and 9, and a wonderfully supportive husband. I also work two part-time jobs. Yes, it's brutally busy sometimes, but my guys are all my biggest cheerleaders. Getting them to pick up socks off the floor can be challenging, but there are times when you just have to let go of the small stuff. Thought I'd die at the end of last quarter -- we had six finals in three days -- but I made it AND made the Dean's List! It can be done. What's worked for me? "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philipians 3:14 More power to you!~ Melanie |

| Posted about 6 years ago I also am returning to school pusuant MSN and FNP concurrently. The truth of the matter is, a very small percentage of prople find themselves in the perfect position to return to school (i.e. finances, time, etc..). The rest of us need to realize that the only way to get where we want to be is the hard way.... Difficulty being a part of the reality of self-actualization. I can offer this: - Talk with your family - Make time for your family, and don't take it away from them for any reason - Gain their understanding of the benefit of your decision, monetary or otherwise - commit your self to the course of study - make time to study and don't take it away from yourself for any reason - remember, when dealing with your fellow nurse, that they too are feeling the pressures of daily life while trying to accomplish their professional / personal goals. We can all help each other become a more effective part of a vital profession if we care enough to invest our time. |

| Posted about 6 years ago I am one semester away from graduation! May cannot come soon enough. I would jump in with both feet and pursue your dream! It is tough but if you want it bad enough DO IT! Just make sure you tell your spouse to have a kids night out before a test so you can get some study time in. If you are a neat person know that your house is going to be a mess while you are in class. I have had to let that part of me chill. Christmas break or summer break is when I clean again! And dust bunnies will become your friend. Tell them that laundry will have to be a team sport or no one will have clean underwear!

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.........I strongly believe in positive thinking......go at things with a positive attitude....If you believe you will fail at something you probably are going to fail.........Be positive:) |

| Posted about 6 years ago I am a single mom of 2 and its very challenging trying to incorporate school, work, and time for your family, but with patients, and taking things one day at a time its managable. You just have to prioritize and have support from your family and friends. You can do it! Thats what I tell myself everyday and I know if I dont try how would have I known if I would have been successful or not. Good Luck! |
