text:
In it's most recent publication, the public interest group, "West Virginians for Affordable Health Care" regurgitates many of the talking points from the White House in an attempt to debunk the, in the words of the President, "extraordinary lie[s]" of pro-life groups across the country opposed to the recent Health Care proposal.
In one section of it's patronizingly titled, "Sense and Nonsense" article is the following "exchange":
NONSENSE: Health reform will lead to rationing health care.
SENSE: "Rationing" occurs in health care and other goods and services whenever demand exceeds supply. Organs, for example, are precious commodities, and their donation is strictly regulated by national guidelines. Rationing is necessary and inevitable. Allocation of the swine flue vaccine this fall will provide a practical experience of rationing. If the demand for the vaccine exceeds the supply, we will have to decide who will receive the first million doses available.
Rationing might be better described as an appropriate allocation of resources. In an essay in the Washington Post [sic], an infectious disease specialist wrote, "the unspoken truth among doctors is that we objectively or subjectively ration care, and often don't tell patients or their families." Health reform would make such decisions an allocations more transparent and accountable.
Oh, I get it. It's not rationing, its, "an appropriate allocation of resources."
Holy political spin, Batman! In other words, if, say, the supply of chemotherapy outstripped the demand for it, doctors employed by the government would determine who gets the allocation of resources based upon……what exactly? Age? Severity of the condition? Chances of recovery?
Who controls the supply market? Moving the market from private to public puts the supply controls directly into the hands of bureaucrats who respond to the directions of the executive. That's concerning for many, many reasons, not the least of which is how it affects end-of-life care – one of the many legitimate questions we have asked the President to forthrightly answer.
But, don't worry. At least those decisions will be "more transparent and accountable." For more (and better) "sense," see the Family Research Council's, "10 Reasons Rationing is in the Health Care Overhaul."
Then, there is this beautiful exchange:
NONSENSE: Health Reform [sic] will mean that taxpayers have to pay for abortions.
SENSE: There is nothing in the bills before Congress that taxpayer-funded plans will pay for abortion. The Hyde Amendment, a law passed many years ago, prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion. The original House bill did not contain the word abortion. In the last of three committees to consider the reform package, Representatives Lois Capps (D-CA) successfully offered an amendment to ensure that federal funds would not be used to fund abortions. The amendment, considered by many to be a compromise measure, was supported by Catholics United, who opposed abortions, as well as NARAL, who supports choice. PolitiFact [sic] rated the claim that government funds would be used to fund abortion as False.
Not a whole lot needs to be said to refute this claim. But, we will point out that the Hyde Amendment is one that President Obama has said he is opposed (". . . the federal government should not use its dollars to intrude on a poor woman's decision whether to carry to term or to terminate her pregnancy . . .").
But, perhaps the best way to refute this, to borrow from the President, "extraordinary lie," is to quote from FactCheck.org, a left-leaning website:
The truth is that bills now before Congress don't require federal money to be used for supporting abortion coverage. So the president is right to that limited extent. But it's equally true that House and Senate legislation would allow a new "public" insurance plan to cover abortions, despite language added to the House bill that technically forbids using public funds to pay for them. Obama has said in the past that "reproductive services" would be covered by his public plan, so it's likely that any new federal insurance plan would cover abortion unless Congress expressly prohibits that. Low- and moderate-income persons who would choose the "public plan" would qualify for federal subsidies to purchase it. Private plans that cover abortion also could be purchased with the help of federal subsidies. Therefore, we judge that the president goes too far when he calls the statements that government would be funding abortions "fabrications."
We call upon the West Virginians for Affordable Health Care to retract their misleading statements and correct the record.

In the volcanic land of Subrosia, there are many types of special, prized stones called Ore. There are six different types of ore: Red and Blue, Hard Ore, Star-Shaped Ore, Fool's Ore, and Ore Chunk, the latter of which is Subrosian currency in Oracle of Seasons.
Ore Chunks
The Ore Chunk is the standard currency of Subrosia, replacing the common Hyrulean Rupee, due to its abundance and symbolic worth in Subrosian culture. Link can carry up to 999 Ore Chunks while in Subrosia. The currency exchange rate between Holodrum and Subrosia is 1 Rupee to 1 Ore Chunk; the type of currency is the only monetary change between the two regions. When equipped with the Green Joy Ring or Gold Joy Ring, Link will receive double the value of Ore Chunks gathered.
Red Chunks are worth ten Ore Chunks (ten Blue Chunks).
Gold Chunks are worth fifty Ore Chunks (five Red Chunks, or fifty Blue Chunks).
Other Ores
|Star-Shaped Ore can be found among the sands of Subrosia Seaside. Link can trade it at Subrosia Market for a Ribbon, which Link's need to gift to Rosa in order for her to go on a date with him.
|Red and Blue Ore is taken to the Great Furnace in Subrosia, where Link can have them melted together to produce the Hard Ore.
|Hard Ore is made when the Red Ore and Blue Ore are combined at the Great Furnace. Link can then take the Hard Ore and Wooden Shield to the Subrosian Smithy where the two can be forged together to make the Iron Shield.
|Fool's Ore is left in place of Link's Roc's Feather after the Strange Brothers steal it. It can be used like an item, but it serves no function. When Link reclaims his Roc's Feather, he drops the Fool's Ore.

Albany -- Dozens of churches, businesses, and homes around Albany have been hit by "copper pirates." Air conditioners and metal tubing are being stolen in just about every part of the city. The price for that metal has skyrocketed, and thieves have caught on.
Members of the Albany Grace Chapel on North Slappey found their air conditioners gutted Sunday morning. Church member Carl Gentry said "It's a sad state of affairs, it kind of tells you what the world is right now."
Their church was another victim of the Copper pirates, who are ripping apart air conditioners all over town. Gentry said "Stealing the copper. I guess copper prices must be pretty high right now."
In fact, copper prices are the highest level in 25 years, bringing about $1.80 a pound at scrap yards.
Lawyer Ralph Scoccimaro's office one morning was hot. Scoccimaro said, "The air conditioners were gone. In fact one of them was completely gone, and the other air conditioner had been torn apart where they stole the copper tubing out of it. So we were without air conditioning for a week."
The thieves like to hit churches or businesses, that they know will be deserted at night. Scoccimaro said " The copper prices have gone sky high, and perhaps some crack addicts or other folks with other motivations were trying to sell the copper."
Bill White's L & S Seafood Market will not have a new awning, because thieves have stolen most of it from his backyard. White said, "They about stole everything over there. They cut the fences, and get in there and get whatever they want. And I know it's being sold here in Albany."
Scrap yards and metal recycling businesses in Albany would not talk to us on camera, but said they cannot question everyone selling scrap metal. Georgia law says they have to take names and addresses of sellers, but these victims say the number of thefts prove the pirates are having no trouble cashing in.
White said "They mash it up and fold it, but they know it's awning. I just wish they would do something about it."
It's a petty crime, but costing the victims big money to replace their air conditioners. Scoccimaro said "It was a couple of thousand dollars, it was expensive. Plus we had to put fencing around here, which was expensive also."
Bill White says you should care, because businesses have to pass on their crime losses to you, their customers. "You can only take so much loss, and then you got to go up on your prices. I hate that."
Albany Police have made a few arrests, but the number of air conditioner thefts continue to skyrocket, driven by the increasing price of scrap copper.
One of the air conditioner theft victims said Police Investigators told him the thieves were mostly drug uses, looking for money for their next fix.

Beautiful ornament! I made one similar to this last year and it was way too complicated and took too long. Your ornament has the same look. I definitely will make it when I find a minute! I am not being critical, just wanted you to know that I noticed this since I have a degree in weaving and surface design. The correct terminology in your description would be "the strips are woven together" opposed to "the strips are weaved together". Merry Christmas!
Hi Linda, Thank you for correcting me! As soon as I read the sentence I knew I had written it incorrectly.
My aunt went to school to learn weaving and handy work in Estonia when she was a young woman and for one section of her final test she had to grow a field of flax, make it into linen, weave the linen into a cloth, sew that cloth into a traditional Estonian folk dress blouse and embroider it. I am lucky enough to own that blouse now!
these are darling I've love you to add it to my what we wore and made party over at http://raegunwear.blogspot.com
So pretty! I love the paper snowflake. Thanks for sharing how to make them.
Really love that ornament! I think I'll make some to add as tags to the gifts this year. Thanks for the inspiration and great tutorial!
great ideas
would love it if you could share this on my link party Serenity Saturday at www.serenityyou.blogspot.com
Natasha xx
Yeppers, I'm gonna give that star a try! And painting the toys is absolutely genius!! But I was especially intrigued with your reply to Linda, about your aunt! That's amazing! And you have the blouse! How 'bout sharing a picture of it with us? Man, I love to see it. Is in in a frame? Under lock and key? Such a treasure!
I love the ornaments! You're being featured this week at Taking A Timeout Thursday - thanks so much for sharing!
What a beautiful ornament, it really is lovely. I think I will have to give it the old college try a make one. thanks for showing us how to make. Thanks for sharing at Sunday's Best, your creative projects provide us inspiration.
Beautiful! I just pinned this to my Christmas board. Thanks for the idea.
Thank you for the tutorial! I made a bunch of them for my Christmas tree and they look great!
Hi Katie, I'm so glad! I would love it if you sent me a photo that I could put on my facebook page.


text: When the Nets did the Troy Murphy for Brandan Wright and Dan Gadzuric trade, we got Brandan Wright to see if he could possibly become what he was expected to become, and we got Dan Gadzuric just to get an expiring contract in return. I really don't understand what Avery Johnson is doing. It just does not make any sense. We acquired Brandan Wright for the purpose of him to play and show what he's got for the rest of the season. I simply don't understand why Dan Gadzuric plays. Brandan Wright is a lot better than Dan Gadzuric, this is probably Dan Gadzuric's last NBA season, and Brandan Wright is full of potential while Dan Gadzuric is only getting crappier. What is Avery Johnson doing?!?!?!?!?!?

A lawsuit was recently filed against Lionsgate Films in Los Angeles Superior Court by a consulting firm that alleges it wasn't compensated for helping to secure Nicole Kidman's Oscar nomination for the film "Rabbit Hole."
According to the lawsuit filed by GBB Consulting, the company provided Lionsgate with logistical services with the goal of obtaining awards, including Academy Awards, for the film company's theatrical releases in 2010.
According to its suit, GBB was to receive $12,000 a month through the end of February 2011, in addition to $5,000 for each Academy Award nomination in the major categories and $2,500 for any guild-related award nominations.
GBB says Lionsgate terminated the agreement in November 2010 for financial reasons and has still not paid the consulting company. The company is asking for $61,500, an amount it says is based on agreed-upon fees and bonuses from award nominations, including Nicole Kidman's Best Actress Oscar nomination and her SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for "Rabbit Hole."
"Rabbit Hole" won one award and had 19 other nominations, according to IMDB. The film depicts how a couple copes after the death of their child.

Jamaica makes second go at Adaptation Fund
Jamaica hopeful for board approval
JAMAICA'S proposal for a programme that targets communities and sectors deemed to be most susceptible to climate change impacts is among those to come up for review at this week's meeting of the Adaptation Fund Board in Bonn, Germany.
The board will determine whether to release the US$9.995 million applied for to implement the programme under the fund, which was set up to finance projects to help developing countries shore-up their ability to adapt to climate change.
The disclosure was made by Jeffrey Spooner, chair of the board's Projects and Programmes Committee, in an interview with the Jamaica Observer last week, ahead of his leaving for Bonn.
"We have something in the order of three concepts and 15 fully developed proposals to review for this meeting. The proposal for Jamaica is included in there," said Spooner, who is also the Group of Latin America and the Caribbean representative on the 32-member Adaptation Fund Board and one of Jamaica's senior climate negotiators.
The concept for the development of the Jamaican project — titled "Enhancing the Resilience of the Agriculture Sector and Coastal Areas to Protect Livelihoods and Improve Food Security — won the endorsement of the board in June last year.
As a result, Jamaica received financing to the tune of US$30,000 to develop the proposal for the programme whose objectives include:
• increasing the climate resilience of the Negril coastline;
• enhancing the climate resilience of the agriculture sector by improving water and land management in select communities; and
• improving institutional and local level capacity for sustainable management of the natural resources in disaster risk reduction in the targeted vulnerable areas.
Hopeton Peterson, manager for sustainable development and regional planning with the Planning Institute of Jamaica, was optimistic yesterday that the project would be approved.
"We are extremely hopeful because we think that a lot of work went into it and good quality work as well; we think our project can stand up to that sort of rigorous international scrutiny," he told Environment Watch.
"We followed the guidelines that were handed down to us so there is good alignment with the Adaptation Fund's objectives. The other thing is that when we submitted initially, they had some concerns and we linked up with them by e-mail and telephone and we discussed the concerns and made the adjustments and amendments that were suggested," Peterson added.
The PIOJ is the national implementing entity for the programme.
Spooner, meanwhile, could not confirm Jamaica's chances of receiving the board's stamp of approval.
"As chair of the review committee, I cannot say. As a matter of fact, I have a conflict of interest with respect to the proposal from Jamaica and that will have to be declared," he said, adding that he will likely leave the room when the Jamaican programme is being voted on.
According to Spooner, the review can go any of three ways: it can be "rejected", "not approved" or "approved".
"If it is 'rejected', we cannot resubmit. If it is 'not approved', then there is the opportunity to revise. We [the board] make recommendations where improvements can be made to the proponents so it can be revised and resubmitted," Spooner said.
Other fully developed project submissions being looked at come from Argentina, Cambodia, Colombia, Djibouti, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, Ghana, Lebanon, Mali, Mauritania (from them), Seychelles, and Sri Lanka.
Project concepts are coming from Argentina, Paraguay and Peru.
Other business to be looked at by the board is covered under the work of its Ethics and Finance Committee, Spooner said.
"The Ethics and Finance Committee will be looking at the financial issues of the adaptation fund and fund board; things like the work programme and the budget for 2013, options for fund-raising and campaign strategies and so on," he said.

I like to go to all the cool restaurants because I am an insecure person who validates herself by saying things like, "Oh, I've totally been there. Did you try the duck?"
I have been waiting for TWO YEARS to go to Frances, a casual yet very impossible restaurant to get into in the Castro, and finally decided I'd just go on Open Table, find the next reservation, and take it. Lo and behold, there was a 5pm dinner open last night. I had to hold it with a credit card, and texted Melissa, "We are going to an early dinner tomorrow at Frances. Please pretend you know this is a big deal."
Let me tell you about Frances! First of all, I am two years behind the times and it is embarrassing that I'm just going to Frances. Who cares, you've all already been there. Second of all, they have chips and dip. I repeat, they have fancy, organic, local chips and dip.
The chips were long, seeded crackers and the dip was basically really onion-y sour cream. There was way more chip than dip and the two of us devoured the whole thing. Our server, Jake Gyllenhaal, offered to bring us more chips. "Oh, no thank you. We're just eating the dip with a spoon. You have chips and dip!"
We also got chick pea "Frech fries" which Jake called "frites", spinach soup, maple bacon begniets (Mel is a vegetarian, so...), gnocchi with walnuts, and leek gratin with blue cheese. We did not order any entrees because the sides looked so good, and one of the things that happens when you turn 30 is that you don't care anymore. They had leek gratin. I'll have 8 of those, thank you. Please bring it to me and then look away.
We timed it, and it took 34 minutes before Melissa and I started in with the, "So, I sent this really embarrassing email. I need you to look at this thing on my back. You have to go along with the following lie." And I realized I wasted my fancy reservation at Frances, because when I'm with Melissa, I could be at a Shoney's and die of giggles. We did not talk about food. We talked about my most recent guy and our parents and big work plans and our trip to Atlanta and the fact that I cut off all my hair. (I cut off all my hair.)
I can say anything to my best friend. I've tested this. I could say, "So, I killed a guy and he's in an oil drum in the back yard" and Melissa would lean forward, "I wanna see. Do you need my credit cards? I actually know a guy who sells lye." She's automatically on my side, without judgement, ever.
Melissa does not care that there is $7 chips and dip. And I have learned, there is no point in my keeping anything from her, ever. We walked to my car and Melissa grabbed me. "Don't think I didn't see Jake Gyllenhaal wink at you. He WINKED, Bethy."
"I KNOW." I said. "I thought it was our own little moment."
"Uh, no. I saw the whole thing." And Melissa, who ran the Bay to Breakers at 7am, saw a wink, filed it away, ate some chips and dip, and pretended to care about a gratin, let go of my arm. She got in my car and knew when to go in a liquor store to buy me cigarettes. We've become fake characters in a novel at this point, we are so ridiculously in sync. Readers are like, "This is bullshit."
Anyway, I went to fucking Frances finally. Melissa came with me. We had chips and dip...

President Barack Obama will name Pulitzer-winning human rights author Samantha Power to represent the U.S. at the United Nations, according to sources that spoke to The Associated Press.
Her appointment comes as Obama is expected to shift Susan Rice, America's current U.N. ambassador, to lead the National Security Agency, which requires no Senate confirmation. Despite having the clear authority to unilaterally move Rice to the NSA, Obama's choice is likely to be controversial due to Republican concerns about Rice's handling of talking points following the attack on America's embassy in Benghazi, Libya.
Power is a longtime Obama adviser who previously led the White House's Office of Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights. She also previously worked as a journalist covering conflicts around the world, from Bosnia to Kosovo, Rwanda, Sudan and even Zimbabwe, and her 2003 book "A Problem from Hell: American and the Age of Genocide" won a Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction.

Hi everybody,
I am developing a j2me application.I am drawing a string on a canvas.
I want the string to be bold.My paint method looks like this :-
Code Snippet :-
protected void paint(Graphics g) {
width = getWidth();
height = getHeight();
g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
String s = "Test this one";
g.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_SYSTEM, Font.STYLE_BOLD,Font.SIZE_SMALL));
g.drawString(s, 2, 2, 0);
The problem i m facing is that when i run the above code in Nokia E65,it does not make the string bold whereas on other handsets it does show the required effect i.e the
string is displayed in bold style.
Please help me to resolve the problem.

September 2, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) -- A leading adoption institute is urging states to follow the path of Tennessee and seven other states in giving adult adoptees access to their birth records.
The Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute says in a comprehensive report released today that the experience of the states that allow adopted people to get their birth records, once they become adults, has shown there are minimal, if any, repercussions.
Opponents of open access argue that unsealing birth records violates the privacy that birthmothers expected when they opted to give up their babies. They raise the specter of birthparents forced into unwanted relationships with grown children who have tracked them down.
But the Donaldson Institute says most birthparents, rather than being fearful and ashamed, welcome contact with the children they bore.

UK banking shares plunge as crisis deepens
Graeme Wearden and Jill Treanor, The Guardian
September 29, 2008
FSA chairman warns nationalisation of Bradford & Bingley is not the end of the banking crisis
Shares in Britain's banks plunged today in febrile market conditions caused by bail-outs of banks in the UK, continental Europe and the US.
The nationalisation of Bradford & Bingley, the rescue of Dutch-Belgian financial group Fortis and the rescue takeover of US bank Wachovia by Citigroup further hit sentiment in an already nervous market.
Royal Bank of Scotland tumbled by over 20%, while Lloyds TSB lost 15% and HBOS shed 12.5% – putting their merger in doubt.
Under the deal hammered out during a weekend of intense negotiations, the taxpayer is taking on B&B's £41bn of mortgages and handing Spanish giant Santander £4bn to persuade it to take on the Yorkshire-based firm's savers and branch network.
The cost of the deal, including hundreds of millions of pounds in interest payments on a £14bn loan that underpins the deal, could eventually fall on the UK's banks.
They could also face further losses in three years if the government cannot recover these costs.
Lord Turner, head of the Financial Services Authority, warned that the nationalisation of B&B is not the end of the banking crisis.
"We are not necessarily right at the end of this process," he told BBC Radio 4′s The World At One. "At the moment we believe our other high street banks are well capitalised and in a reasonable condition but we will have to keep this situation under review."
As well as the bailout of Fortis by the governments of Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, and Citigroup's takeover of Wachovia, the Icelandic government has taken control of the country's third-largest bank, Glitnir.
The sharp banking losses knocked 213.3 points off the FTSE 100 index by 3.15pm today, sending it 4.2% lower to 4875.2.
Fear in the market
The mood was little better on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones lost over 300 points in early trading despite overnight progress on the $700bn banking bailout.
Analysts were mesmerised by the share price movement in Lloyds TSB and HBOS, following the £12bn takeover agreed two weeks ago. Analysts said it showed the level of fear in the market.
"I'm trying to be open-minded about other surprises there might be," said James Eden of Exane BNP Paribas.
"Can you imagine Lloyds walking away from HBOS? I can't image they would. The share price is telling you there is a chance of that happening," Eden added.
B&B is the biggest buy-to-let operator in the UK, and was unable to continue operating in the ongoing crisis in the financial markets.
The chancellor, Alistair Darling, insisted that he was taking "decisive action" to avoid the troubled lender going bust, which would have "destabilised the whole industry".
This comes seven months after the government nationalised Northern Rock. Alex Potter, analyst at Collins Stewart, commented today that the taxpayer now owns two of the most poorly performing loan books in the country.
As well as the mortgage book, the government will take control of B&B's personal loans, along with all its other debts and its headquarters.
Santander, which already owns Abbey in the UK and is buying Alliance & Leicester, is paying a total of just over £400m for B&B's branches and its 2.7 million customers, whose savings total £20bn. It agreed the deal in return for £4bn from the taxpayer to cover retail deposits that are not protected under UK law.
B&B is particularly exposed to the falling housing market because of its focus on buy-to-let and self-certification mortgages. Darling confirmed that any losses will be clawed back from rival banks, who have weathered the ongoing financial crisis better than B&B.
"We are not going to do that immediately, because in the current climate that would be absolutely daft. But it does mean that as things get better, if there is a shortfall then we will collect it from the industry," he said.
Savers saved
Shares in B&B were suspended this morning, having fallen by 93% this year to just 20p. Its investors will be wiped out following the deal.
Standard Life Investments is the largest single shareholder in B&B with a stake of just under 10%. It said it was disappointed that the bank had fallen into public ownership.
"As long-term shareholders we stood by the company and supported its recent fundraising. This regrettably did not lead to the desired outcome," said David Cumming, head of UK equities at Standard Life Investments.
Legal & General, which also backed the rights issue, said: "We are disappointed that a well-capitalised bank which in more normal circumstances might have been expected to trade through its current difficulties has been nationalised."
The government insisted today that deposit-holders will not suffer from nationalisation.
"Branches will be open this morning as usual, and internet, call centre, and all other transaction services will operate as normal," explained the Treasury.
Many of B&B's workforce would have woken up to find that they are now employed by Abbey, which Santander owns.
"They should all attend their workplace in the normal way. Savers' money remains absolutely safe and secure. Borrowers should continue to make their payments in the normal way," the government added.
Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman, suggested that in the long run the deal could be beneficial for taxpayers.
"The UK government is getting these assets for free. So it could turn out to be quite a good deal," Cable said on the BBC Today programme.
Darling himself was 40 minutes late for his slot on Today.
"Rather unusually, the chancellor is not available. He's having a rather busy day," commented presenter Evan Davis.
After the deal was confirmed, Darling crossed swords with shadow chancellor George Osborne, who said that the collapse of B&B showed that "you can't build an economy on debt".

I am now working on the Chicago Cubs top prospect list. The next team in line is the Cincinnati Reds, followed by the Oakland Athletics to finish the process. After that, I will revise Top 20 lists to reflect trades, as well as review each grade for all players.
Use this thread to discuss the Cincinnati Reds farm system, point out sleepers, etc. This one will be particularly interesting since they traded off three of their best prospects in Yonder Alonso, Yasmani Grandal, and Brad Boxberger. How big of a hit to the system is this? Should Reds fans be excited about both the short-term and long-term?

As I've mentioned before I currently live south of Baltimore. Tomorrow I'll be attendance in the Wizards-Cavs game and am super pumped to cheer on the guys in person for the first time ever this year.
I plan on bringing an obnoxious poster to dangle over the railings - my wife and I are in the front row of the upper levels midcourt. My question.... What should it say?
I was thinking something along the lines of "We believe in you Anthony! Love, Cleveland." We're on the opposite side of the benches so I like to think he'll look up and be inspired to play reasonably tolerable basketball.
Let me know your thoughts! Also I'll probably tack the FeartheSword logo on becuase I love this site so much.

I've been a Nokia user since 1996. At present,.. I would like to change my old 1100 for a much better and much newer phone....but my kind of job doesn't allow me to do it because the flashlight of this model practically has been the only one thing that have make me think on this. This flashlight has been very opportune many times when we are wiring our plasma TV's installations for Digital Signage Systems
I don't know why Nokia designers "stopped" the design of phones including this very useful tool on them. Yes I know.....these are facts ot merchansing
I think this must be a "must" in every phone.
A very cheaper white led don't have to be a crutial and important item on the production budget.
Please. I "beg" to Nokia Design Team to design new models with flashlight feature included..... now that the most beautiful torchs and hand flashlights are been workcrafted by the most notable brands with this technology. (led)

The location and layout of the facilities.
Didn't stay for a drink in the bar, it had a hostile atmosphere. The breakfast was fair, at best.
I like that the St. Charles trolly car stops right in front of the hotel. Easy to get to Bourbon st. and The Garden District. Nice local bars and ears in the area. Friendly staff and helpful tips.
I didn't like how small the pool area was. At night the surrounding areas of the hotel felt a little unsafe. Too close to homeless hangout. (Near freeway underpass)
We stayed in the hotel for three nights. The reception desks and maids were polite. However, when it comes to actions they are of little help. On the second day of our stay the room was not even tidied up. Although I asked several times to bring clean towels and toiletries, my requests were simply ignored.
The shower floor was gross. The poor green and hot not even working.
good for walking to restaurants
it was too noisy for sleeping...busload of teenagers that no one seemed to care about controlling...not worth the price we paid.
The style of the hotel
Pool is very small and didn't look clean
The grounds were very nice, staff was nice and helpful, loved that the trolley was just across the street, ac worked well, pillows were great
Breakfast needed more variety, Sunday we had gravy for the biscuits but not during the week..I expected a fancier place in a nicer area for the price
Great value for the price.
Location, value for money
Neighbourhood threatening
I absolutely loved it. It was very beautiful. The staff was wonderful very helpful with every question I had. They always had a smile and really nice. The breakfast was good and lots to choose from. Over all it was a very nice and relaxing stay. I will stay their again when I go back. Loved it !!!!!
Maid services poor
Clean room, easy access to streetcar, nice building with a small yard.
Choices for breakfast were the same every day.
The room was comfortable and was surprisingly quiet for being located on the first floor near the pool. The layout of the facility with the courtyards made for a pleasant New Orleans feel.
The east parking lot was a little dark.
It was nice, quite and right on the trolley line so it was easy to get around New Orleans.
The fact that we were close to the underpasses where the homeless live.
Location Decor Staff Free breakfast Elevator to 2nd floor
It is quaint and centrally located to many restaurants.
I booked a King room through booking.com, and was not given a King size bed. Not happy about that!
The hotel is very true to the style of New Orleans, breakfast was good, staff stayed busy and were super friendly. We utilized the streetcar daily! Love it!
Carpets need cleaning desperately and the shower is hot!!! (Better than cold though!) It needs a shower curtain or some way to keep the water inside the tub. Minor issues, no big deal.
Quiet hotel location away from the French quarter with great access to all areas
Needs a few upgrades and TLC in some areas
Excellent location
Pool was unusable, filthy, could not see the bottom because water was so murky. No towels in room, had to ask 3times for them. Safe in room not working properly, Staff not very helpful or responsive.
Was close to everything we wanted to do & see. Good restaurants in walking distance.
Needed lots of exterior repairs.
Room was not clean, no towels in room, they should not rent out rooms in the older section of this hotel.
Location with streetcar right outside.Safe parking at reasonable rate. Housekeeping staff very security conscious. Breakfast good.
Hotel staff friendly and helpful. Cleaning staff very friendly. Breakfast was awesome and fully stocked. Workout facility was 3 blocks from hotel but no worries I jogged on over. Near several eating places. Over all very nice and relaxing experience. I will definitely use this hotel in the future.
Selection at complimentary Breakfast. Front Desk Staff knowledge and helpfulness.
The room was at a good price for a one night stay. The staff was very nice.
My room really needed an update. The light fixture in the bathroom was scarey and there was a vent hanging that looked like it was ready to drop. The windows were so dirty that it looked like there was fog outside instead of sunshine. The whole breakfast area needed to be re-thought. No trays to put your food on so you had to make several trips if you wanted more than just coffee and a roll.

They are using a high-intensity therapeutic intervention that has given children with weakness on one side of their bodies to gain neuromotor skills. Nine-year-old Keya Shapiro is one of the children who has benefited from the therapy.
"She was diagnosed with having had a stroke when she was seven months old so I noticed she wouldn't use her left hand at all it was fisted and by her side," says Ami Shapiro, Keya's mother.
"It's a big deal for children from around the world, because we're learning about how this makes a difference in children's lives." says Dr. Stephanie Deluca, assistant professor at VTC.
Some of the therapy includes casting Keya's right arm to strengthen her left arm. They're planning on continuing the treatments that have helped Keya do things we may take for granted like getting ready in the morning and giving parents like Ami Shapiro hope.
"It was a relief honestly you're so scared about what the future held and you didn't know and to see her do things you dream your child would do its been amazing," says Ami Shapiro.

Afghanistan vs. England match backed
Michael Owen has said it would be "fantastic" if England played Afghanistan at Wembley to mark the end of the war against the Taliban.
This week, former England and Liverpool forward Owen visited British troops in Helmand with UK Prime Minister David Cameron to announce a Football Association initiative to aid Afghanistan's football development.
During the visit, Owen, an FA ambassador, offered his backing for England to host Afghanistan to mark the drawdown.
Owen said in the Daily Mirror: "It would be fantastic. There could be a fully-fledged game at Wembley one day that would be fantastic to mark the occasion.
"It would be great to mark the end of the conflict with a game -- certainly at Wembley that would be a great occasion."
Cameron added: "I was reflecting today that soon this incredible piece of service by British troops will come to an end and we'll have to think how best to mark that.
"If you take 2001 to 2014 it is a very long continuous operation and as a nation we'll need to think how best to mark that, much as we did with previous operations, and I'm sure there will be many, very dignified national events that should take place.
"We can discuss that in the future. But the idea of one part of it being a football match is a nice idea. I think football has an immense ability to bring people together, bring countries together and as we leave Afghanistan we are not leaving it alone in the world.
"We are going to go on funding its Armed Services, we are going to go on supporting its development. We are going to be helping it have a football league."

Medical Clinics Profitability Threatened Due High Waste Stream Disposal Costs
Large Waste Companies are buying competitors and eliminating options for medical facilities.
Over the past twenty years, a steady stream of, waste companies have been bought by larger corporations eliminating major competition. BFI, one of the nation's largest solid waste companies was purchased by Allied Waste. IPSA , one of the largest document shredding companies was purchased by Cintas and Stericycle, the nation's largest medical waste company, has purchased BFI's medical waste division, Commodore Medical, Enserve, Health Care Waste Solutions and many others.
The elimination of these and other competitors has led to increased prices and unhappy customers. Thousands of medical facilities all over the country are facing a situation of having little choice but to employ the services of these large waste companies at prices higher than they can afford and signing contracts that seem to have no end. Some waste companies use contractual language that allows for price increases at the discretion of the vendor without any advance notice to the customer.
Many medical facilities managers are not equipped to negotiate with these waste companies and do not have the time to fully investigate options. This is just what waste companies are banking on. Medical facilities are lured by the prospect of a low price, only to find out later that the price quoted does not include the additional fees imposed at billing.
Waste Advocate, comprised of retired executives, is making a difference for medical facilities all over the country. "Our phone lines are ringing off the wall" stated Mr. Gary Gilliam, a veteran in the waste industry of 20 years. Waste Advocate has designed a low cost program to assist medical facilities with contractual issues, high costs and service problems. Mr. Andrew Hess, a retired executive for Bridgestone states, " This program is working and working well, resolving the issues faced by medical facilities".
The Waste Advocate program is drawing the attention of GPO's, and various waste companies from all over the country willing to assist. Waste Advocate has a web site designed to provide additional information to medical facilities www.wasteadvocate.com.

Burlington, Vermont - November 29, 2011Sexual violence is a pervasive problem. Victims advocates say 25-percent of all women in the U.S. -- and one in seven men -- will experience rape or attempted rape in their lifetime. For the last 40 years the Women's Rape Crisis Center in Burlington has been assisting the survivors. But now big changes are on the horizon. The Women's Rape Crisis Center says it's message to sexual violence survivors is the same."It's particularly important for sexual assault survivors to seek services -- to break that isolation and to know that they're not alone and that they were not at fault for the assault," said Cathleen Wilson. The organization's Executive Director.But the organization is changing it's name to better reflect who they are and what they do. "We feel a name like Hope Works will open up doors and open up opportunities for our organization and for the people that we serve that a name like Women's Rape Crisis Center would have closed those doors."Every year more than 500 sexual violence survivors walk through the organization's door looking for help -- 15-percent of them are men."Sometimes it's seen as the stereotype that men can't be raped -- men can't face sexual assault, but that certainly is not true," said Tony Moulton, an educator for the organization. He says when the survivor is an adult male, the perpetrator tends to be another man, but with boys the abuser could be either male or female. He helps them through their healing process. "Some of the particular challenges are feeling that coming out as a survivor somehow makes them less of a man, when in truth they face the same challenges as women and it's not their fault that sexual violence has happened to them."The center offers a 24 hour hotline, support groups and prevention education. But wether you are an adult male, female or teen sexual violence survivor seeking help can be tough. So Hope Works is adding a new high tech tool to it's website. It's called Chatline and it allows sexual violence survivors to anonymously talk to an advocate. Hope Works is the first in the state to use a tool like this. "If someone is not ready to speak to somebody on the phone this is a great way to reach out -- somebody who is an advocate could provide a link to another site or another bit of information. They could also just be a lifeline," Moulton said.The Chatline starts Wednesday. It will be available on Hope Works website Monday through Thursday from 2 to 5 p.m. The goal is to eventually make it a 24 hour service like the organization's hotline.

Survive and advance, the objective at tourney time. That is exactly what the Lions did in the first game of the Greensburg Sectional Tuesday. Despite missing seven free throws down the stretch, the Lions made some key defensive stops to hold off Lawrenceburg 67-64 and advance to the sectional semifinal tonight against Madison.
With the game tied at 60-60, Rushville's Cameron Cox scored to break the tie and put the Lions in front. Rushville called time-out with 2:34 to play and out of the break, Hunter Orme completed a traditional three-point play to push the Lion lead to five.
Following two free throws by Lawrenceburg's Chad Banschbach, Rushville missed on the front end of a one-and-one. Lawrenceburg's Jalen Obertate scored only to be followed by another Cox bucket. Both had chances for three-point plays but were unable to convert.
Cox's bucket gave the Lions a 67-64 lead with :57.9 on the clock. On the Tigers' next possession, John Riddell came up with a huge defensive play by getting a jump ball call and possession back to the Lions.
The Lions then went to the charity stripe at the :39.3 mark, 16.8 mark and :02.9 mark, but could not get the ball to go through the net.
Fortunately for the Lions, solid defense and a couple missed 3-pointers by the Tigers allowed the Lions to escape with the 3-point victory.
Both offenses came out ready to play to start the game as the Tigers led 19-17 after the first quarter. Mitch Laird had two bombs for the Lions in the frame.
Rushville outscored the Tigers 15-10 in the second quarter to grab a 15-10 lead at the half. Cox had eight of his team-high 24 in the second quarter.
Another big offensive quarter came after the break as the Lions out-scored the Tigers 20-19 to led 52-48 heading to the fourth quarter.
Lawrenceburg's Obertate had 11 in the quarter. The Tigers grabbed a 48-47 lead late in the frame, but Rushville's Nate Niehoff hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key and his put back at the horn had the Lions on top with eight minutes to play.
Following Cox's 24 for the Lions was Orme and Laird with 12, Nate Hoeing with nine, Niehoff with five, Alex Yurack with three and Riddell with two.
The Lions take on the Cubs at 6 p.m. tonight followed by Greensburg and Batesville.

"I honestly think we shouldn't have them at all. You get a stand up if you can survive the round and make it to the next. If a guy can force you to stand up with him by avoiding the take downs, a guy should be able to force you to fight on the ground by holding you down. It's mixed martial arts, and that's a part of the game. I think these stand ups are incredibly unfair for grapplers. Like I'm quoted earlier in this thread, 5 minutes isn't that long a time.
If a guy can hold you down and give you nuggies for 5 minutes, that's life.
If a fighter is boring they won't be popular, and that lack of popularity will affect the way they're paid.
I think that's what should motivate fighters to be active, not a referee stand up."
-- Joe Rogan, commeting on the atrocious stand up during the bout between Andrei Arlovski and Roy Nelson.


text: Gary Anderson, a University of Maine Cooperative Extension associate professor, spoke with the Maine Public Broadcasting Network for a report titled, "Maine farmers providing ark for critically endangered breeds." Experts say biodiversity in the world's farmyards are shrinking, according to the article, and efforts are underway to monitor several farm animals that appear on a list of critically endangered domestic breeds. Anderson said today, big agriculture is all about making more food for less money. He gave an example of chickens; stating that in 1926, the average chicken produced 126 eggs per year, and today, a hybrid hen created by agribusiness Hy-Line International lays 240 eggs per year. He added the hens are also eating less; from more than 7 pounds of feed to make a dozen eggs 60 years ago, to only 2.8 pounds of feed today.

Requesting Your Copy of Your Veteran Affairs Claims Folder (C-File)
We can not stress enough how important it is to:
Militrary Records Requests
To request your military records use this form Request for Military Records NARA SF 180
To request your C-File which is your claims folder at the regional veteran affairs office use VA Form 3288 Technically any release or waiver from that is signed by the claimant and that properly compiles with and cites the Privacy Act and FOIA is sufficient. However VA personnel are familiar with the VA Form 3288 so it will cause the least confusion. Read More
The 1973 Fire at NPRC
On July 12, 1973, a disastrous fire at NPRC (MPR) destroyed approximately 16-18 million Official Military Personnel Files. The affected record collections are described below.
Personnel and Period Affected
Estimated Loss
Personnel discharged November 1, 1912, to January 1, 1960
Air Force
Personnel discharged, September 25, 1947, to January 1, 1964
(with names alphabetically after Hubbard, James E.)
No duplicate copies of the records that were destroyed in the fire were maintained, nor was a microfilm copy ever produced. There were no indexes created prior to the fire. In addition, millions of documents had been lent to the Department of Veterans Affairs before the fire occurred. Therefore, a complete listing of the records that were lost is not available. Nevertheless, NPRC (MPR) uses many alternate sources in its efforts to reconstruct basic service information to respond to requests.
Alternate Records Resources
Alternate Sources of Military Service Data. When proof of military service is needed, NPRC (MPR) attempts to reconstruct certain basic service data from alternate sources. NPRC (MPR) has identified many of these sources, but each contains only limited military service information. They are utilized to piece together (reconstruct) basic service data.
NA Form 13075, Questionnaire About Military Service
NA Form 13055, Request for Information Needed to Reconstruct Medical Data.
Medical-Related Alternate Records. In 1988, a collection of computer tapes containing ten million hospital/treatment facility admission records was transferred to NPRC (MPR). These records, originally created by the U.S. Army Surgeon General's Office (SGO), were discovered by the National Academy of Sciences and offered to the National Archives for use by NPRC (MPR). The source records existed in a computer code format and required extensive analysis to interpret the code into English. Between 1988-1990, NPRC (MPR) was able to salvage 7.8 million records of individual admissions for use as a major supplement to other smaller sources of medical information.
Personnel-Related Alternate Sources. A primary source of alternate data is a collection of 19 million final pay vouchers. These records provide name, service number, dates of service, and character of service. These are the most critical service data elements needed for the reconstruction process. With these and other organizational records (enlistment ledgers, service number indexes, etc.), NPRC (MPR) personnel can usually verify military service and provide a Certification of Military Service. This Certification can be used for any purpose for which the original discharge document was used, including the application for veterans benefits.

News: Lil Jon Prepares For A "Crunk Rock" Summer, "It's Not Just Rock & Roll"
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 11:35AM
Producer Lil Jon has cleared up confusion surrounding his upcoming Crunk Rock album and said that the project is not solely based on experimental rock sounds.
According to Jon, he has packed his long-awaited album with different genres of music.
"Because there's so many different kinds of Lil Jons that's on this album that it's not just rock and roll," he added. "You got some rock kind of collaborations, but you got some electro collaborations, you got crunk music, you got dance music, you got all kinds of stuff, Bali funk. We got so many different kinds of collaborations on the album that it changed really into a lifestyle. We live like this." (MTV)
With help from artists like Game and R. Kelly, Jon's album is set to come out this June.
"I'm finally ready to get Crunk Rock out there to my people!! It's been a long time comin' and the album has somethin' for everyone on it," he wrote in a statement earlier this year. "I gave them every kind of Lil Jon that they have ever heard on an album...I can't wait for da' people to hear it!!!" (Hip Hop Press)
He recently said the project would reflect his recent experience on the road as a deejay.
"Eventually TVT folded and I got off the label," Jon explained in an interview. "I got signed to Universal Republic about a year ago and I went back to the studio and started working on the album again and I had a whole new energy, new vibe, from being on the road deejaying and just from taking some time off, clearing my mind. So now I'm done, we're officially ready. It's not like, 'We're almost done,' I'm just working on like one or the last two songs but all of my vocals are done except for one song. [It's still called] Crunk Rock." (DJ Ekin)
Last October, Jon said the album was on the verge of completion.
"We're pretty much like 80 percent done," Jon said of Crunk Rock, his first solo album, slated to be released by early next year. "It's probably one of my best albums to date in the sense that it's got a little bit of everything that I know everybody's going to groove to. I basically got the tracks that I want down, and I just need to make some final touches...I loved making people dance. That's what I'm getting back to." (Associated Press)
Crunk Rock is scheduled to drop Tuesday, June 8th.

Tony Award-winning director George C. Wolfe (Angels in America; Caroline, or Change) stages the sprawling production that is centered in New Orleans following the Haitian slave revolts, when its large population of Free People of Color (or the "Gens de Couleur Libres") inhabited a city that was more European than American in the early 17th century.
The Lincoln Center Theater production began previews Oct. 23 and is scheduled to run through Jan. 9, 2011.
A Free Man of Color marks Guare's return to LCT after his plays The House of Blue Leaves, Six Degrees of Separation, Four Baboons Adoring The Sun and Chaucer in Rome all received their premieres there. The play marks Wolfe's LCT debut.
The production has set design by David Rockwell, costume design by Ann Hould-Ward, lighting design by Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, sound design by Scott Stauffer, original music by Jeanine Tesori and choreography by Hope Clarke.
According to LCT, "A Free Man of Color is a freewheeling epic set in 1801 New Orleans. Jacques Cornet, the title character, is a new world Don Juan and the wealthiest inhabitant of this sexually charged and racially progressive city. Jacques thinks all is well in his paradise until history intervenes, setting off a chain of events which no one, much less this free man of color, realizes is about to splinter the world."
Guare's plays include Six Degrees of Separation, House of Blue Leaves, Four Baboons Adoring the Sun, Landscape of the Body and the book to the musical Sweet Smell of Success. He earned Tony Awards for the book and lyrics to the 1971 musical Two Gentlemen of Verona.

To further whet your appetite for Gina Carano's upcoming bone-crushing cinematic extravaganza, an official five-minute "Haywire" teaser trailer has been unleashed on the Interwebs.
It gives a feel of the movie's overall texture, and nicely juxtaposes both Gina's acting and combat skills. The pleasant surprise for me was that she is apparently a quite decent actress. Given that her forbears like Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren and Quinton Jackson didn't exactly put Robert de Niro to shame, it was nice to see her competently inhabit her character, and be convincing, even in close-ups.
Carano, a former American Gladiator, stars as a "black ops super-soldier seeking payback after she is betrayed and set up during a mission." Directed by Steven Soderbergh, Haywire also stars Channing Tatum, Ewan MacGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas and Michael Douglas, hitting theaters on January 20, 2012.
Check out the first five minutes of Haywire, after the jump.
