See it is really easy to say that it is common knowledge when it is already a known thing. For someone who doesn't know how to work a computer well, it is not something that is well understood. Yes it can be looked up, but the fact of the matter is it has to be looked up because the knowledge level of the PC is low enough that it is harder to find it on its own. Get what I mean?

I don't think you understand what I nor the post is referring to. It isn't about the fact that the thing is loud, it is the fact that the sounds have been changed and the person doesn't know how to change them back. If you can't understand a basic concept such as that, maybe YOU should remove yourself from the internet.

??? Dude is complaining about loud annoying sounds on his PC. Turning down the speaker volume will give him some respite while he researches and finds a fix. Are you really that thick? Or just a common garden-variety troll?

- Executive Summary
Of the 103 million tons of coal Texas consumed in 2006, 96 percent was used to generate electricity; the remainder was used for various industrial purposes.87 Coal is abundant and competitive with natural gas, the leading fuel source for electricity generation in Texas. But it also produces substantial amounts of atmospheric pollutants when burned. By volume, coal produces the highest emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphurous oxides, mercury and arsenic of any fuel, with the exception of high-sulfur fuel oil used in some older plants. Coal mining also can release methane, another greenhouse gas. In Texas, lignite coal deposits are below the surface and must be excavated. Subbituminous coal is shipped by rail from Wyoming and Montana to Texas.
If future governments implement the CO2 reduction strategies being contemplated in the U.S. and elsewhere, coal could face some of the toughest restrictions of all fossil fuels unless new technologies in development, such as carbon sequestration, reduce its emissions.
Still, coal is relatively abundant and is likely to continue to be an important component of the state's fuel mix. In fact, if new technologies such as carbon sequestration prove effective, coal could have increased prominence.
|Per Million Btu (2005)
|$1.34 for electricity generation;88 $1.54 for direct uses89
|Direct Subsidy Share of Total Consumer Spending
|Federal: 6.9 percent; State and Local: none.90
|Coal can be transported by rail, truck, conveyor and water. The transmission of electricity produced from coal entails additional costs. In the long term, synthetic fuels derived from coal may become commercially available as a transportation fuel.
Economic Impact and Viability
|Wages and Jobs
|Coal production contributed 2,241 mining jobs to the Texas economy in 2006 and wages of $167.6 million.91 Available data do not distinguish other jobs attributable to the use of coal at electric utility plants.
|Regulatory Climate
|Coal-fired power plants must obtain air, water and wastewater permits from TCEQ, a process that can require up to four years.92
|Texas Competitive Advantage
|Texas has abundant deposits of lignite coal, though many of its coal plants use cleaner-burning coal from Wyoming. Coal can be less expensive than natural gas, depending on its quality and ease of availability. Texas has the potential for permitting coal plants in West Texas that can be located sufficiently close to areas of high energy demand or near electricity transmission resources. In addition, Texas has opportunities for the sequestration of carbon from integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants, with potential application to use the waste CO2 for enhance oil recovery.
|Coal was used to generate 36.5 percent of Texas electricity in 2006, compared to 49 percent for the U.S. in the same year.93
Availability and Current Infrastructure
|Estimated Resources in Texas
|Approximately 9,490 trillion Btu (2006)94
|Current Fuel Production
|Approximately 592 trillion Btu (2006)95
|Consumption in Texas
|Approximately 1,611 trillion Btu (2006)96
|IGCC technology may offer a cleaner future for coal-generated electricity. In the U.S., 12 IGCC plants are in planning stages; one is under construction in Illinois, and another is planned to be built near Sweetwater, Texas.97
Environment, Health and Safety
|Greenhouse Gas Emissions
|Burning coal releases an average of 659.3 pounds of CO2 per million Btu produced. Coal mining also can release methane, another greenhouse gas.98
|Air Pollution (Non-Greenhouse Gas)
|Burning coal for electricity produces 1.8 pounds of NOX, 3.8 pounds of SO2 and 0.01 pounds of mercury per million Btu produced.99
|Solid Waste
|Coal combustion creates ash waste, made up primarily of metal oxides and alkali, at an average rate of 10 percent of the volume of coal burned. Coal mining and processes used to remove air emissions during power generation also create waste.100
|Land Use
|Texas lignite coal requires strip mining, which can cause erosion and disturb the surface for the life of the mine. Federal and state laws require reclamation of the soil when a surface mine closes. Traces of mercury, arsenic and other elements from coal can leach into the nearby soil and water.101
|Water Withdrawal
|Depending upon the plant type, electricity generation from coal requires withdrawals from zero to 14,658 gallons per million Btu of heat produced.102
|Water Consumption
|Coal-fired power generation consumes between zero and 150 gallons per million Btu produced, depending on the plant type.103
|Water Quality
|Water is required for plant cooling. When discharged, this water may contain pollutants that could harm aquatic life and reduce water quality. Uncontrolled runoff from mines can cause surface water pollution. TCEQ regulates and permits these discharges.104
|Coal miners face significant occupational risks due to the use of heavy equipment and subsurface conditions. Miners are at risk from exposure to coal dust, methane, arsenic, mercury, sulfur and other hazardous substances that contribute to pulmonary disease.
Fuel Characteristics
|Energy Content
|Lignite coal such as that found in Texas contains an average 13 million Btu per ton. Subbituminous coal, such as that imported from Wyoming, contains an average 17 to 18 million Btu per ton.105
|Coal is a fossil fuel and is not renewable within human lifespans.
Other Issues
|Dependence on Foreign Suppliers
|The U.S. imports very little coal and most of that is from Canada.
|Price and Supply Risks
|Texas imports much of the coal it uses from Wyoming and Montana by rail. Rail capacity and transportation costs can restrict the supply and cost of coal imported into Texas.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Windham schools reverse post-Sandy Hook ban on dodgeball, other 'human target' games
In March, the board voted 4-1 in favor of removing dodgeball and nine other games from the curriculum in response to parents' concerns about bullying and student safety. In May, an 11-member committee of district physical education teachers, administrators and other community members was tasked with reviewing the board's decision after the board heard from various community members and students asking for the return of the games.
Golden Brook School Vice Principal Rory O'Connor, one of the original panel members to recommend removing dodgeball, told the board that the study committee was charged with "taking a closer look at the violent nature of these games ... and to make sure student safety remains paramount" and they took their duties seriously.
For those who prefer not to dodge flying objects in their gym classes, there will also be plenty of alternatives."We went through existing studies and determined that certain games had violent characteristics, specifically at the middle school level," O'Connor said, noting that the game of "Slaughter" has been re-named "Numero Uno."During high school games for the newly renamed "Cageball," students will have the option of partaking in an alternative activity, such as independent workout time in the gym, according to O'Connor.
"I've had all of George Carlin's famous words on my answering machine," she said. "I had to take my phone number off the district website."School administrators vowed to pay close attention to what's going on in their gym classes, noting that though games in question are played with soft, Nerf balls, those who aren't comfortable with such games shouldn't be forced to do so. "Like any other subject, we're holding ourselves to a higher standard," Windham Center School Principal Kori-Alice Becht said.
Senibaldi said he was disappointed that his fellow school officials "spent so much time and energy about a game that's only played a few times each year."

Pink Shell Beach Resort & Spa Honors Earth Hour with Lights Dimmed
Fort Myers Beach, Florida, March 24, 2010 – Pink Shell Beach Resort & Spa announced today that they will turn off all public non-essential lighting for Earth Hour at 8:30 PM on Saturday, March 27. Pink Shell made a pledge in 2008 to support the environment by becoming the first resort on the Fort Myers and Sanibel Beaches to become a Green Lodging Resort. To continue their promise, Pink Shell will participate in this worldwide event called Earth Hour. This will be a fun and meaningful event for their resort guests with a live DJ for dancing and games on the pool deck that will be lit by Tiki torches and glow sticks.
Scheduled events include:
Earth Hour Event on the Octopool Deck from 5pm-9:30pm
Live DJ from 5pm-9:30pm
Signature cocktails at Bongo's Bar can be enjoyed to toast the sunset at 7:45pm
Opening Ceremonies at 8:15 PM. Includes a viewing of a touching video from EarthHour.org which shows lights going out around the world in support of last year's Earth Hour event.
Lights out from 8:30pm-9:30pm.
Earth Hour, which takes place Saturday, March 27th at 8:30 PM local time, is an event in which millions of Americans will turn out their lights for one hour in support of action on climate change and toward creating a cleaner, safer and more secure future. 2010 marks the third year of the event, which attracted more than 80 million participants in the U.S. last year and nearly a billion people around the world, as lights dimmed on such global icons as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Sydney's Opera House, the Great Pyramids of Gaza and New York's Empire State Building.
Notable U.S. landmarks such as Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, St. Louis' Gateway Arch, Sea World in Orlando, the strip in Las Vegas, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Washington D.C.'s National Cathedral, California's Santa Monica Pier and the Space Needle in Seattle are among the hundreds of sites that will turn off non-essential lighting for the hour, in what is expected to be the largest-ever call to action on climate change.
Pink Shell Beach Resort & Spa is the premier choice of Fort Myers hotels for couples and families where the only thing we overlook is the beach.

Wedding: 9/14/2013
We could not wish for a better planning and execution experience from this very important vendor. Initial dealings with the sales personnel, planning right before the wedding and execution were all beyond reproach. The food was incredible, the way they executed the whole event was simply as beautiful as ballet. I am a project manager myself and manage very large projects. The execution of our even by Cuisine Chez Vous was super impressive. True professionals, worth every penny they charge. Cuisine Chez Vous offered us several different packages at different prices, all very competitive. After tasting with 4 different caterers at a comparable price level there was no question in any of our minds as to which one we wanted to go with. And they lived up to all of our expectations. Not a single complaint.
Wedding: 9/22/2012
Amazing food, even better people - these were the best vendors I worked with. Made the planning process stress-free, were perfectly professional and helpful day-of. A thousands compliments to CCV.
Wedding: 8/11/2012
Working with Cuisine Chez Vous was a great experience! Right from the start they seemed so on top of everything, I knew I would be in good hands. They worked with me to fit my budget, made helpful suggestions for cutting costs (and where not to cut when I was being silly!) and most importantly, served delicious food! So many people told me how good the food was, and the one thing I hadn't totally loved in our tasting (the cake) was really delicious on our wedding night! I loved that they had such unique dinner options and didn't have to be your standard red wine demi glaze or roast chicken breast. Everything we chose was really creative and yummy!
Nora was my main contact person and she was super responsive and always helpful and pleasant to work with. They took care of everything, from the tables and chairs, to the china, the barware, bartenders, waiters etc! Nora and Shiva really were my day-of wedding coordinators, putting out my personal photos and all the little votives and decorative items I made. They did it all and they did a great job! Thanks guys!
Wedding: 10/23/2011
These guys are a great service and a great value. Their food is delicious (and their wedding cake is one you will actually want to eat!), their staff creative and the service they provide truly makes the occasion. They worked with us through every detail of the day, recommended other good vendors for alcohol, and took charge of things in a way that let us really enjoy the day without worrying about the flow of events, or anything else. They worked brilliantly with our other vendors as well. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Wedding: 8/21/2010
Walter and the people at Cuisine Chez Vous were wonderful to work with! The staff was well organized, had a lot of great ideas, and communicated so well! When the water pipes burst on the day of my tasting, they called, re-called, and sent emails to let me know and re-schedule! The food was SO incredible, all of our guests raved about it and some said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! My MOH who is vegetarian said she was so pleased with the delicious vegetarian options, which never happens to her at parties. The staff really helped us to plan the day-of schedule and plan where everything would be during the wedding. The were so professional during the wedding, and when we had some timing setbacks, they were on top of everything. Very efficient and a joy to work with! I would use them again for an event in a heartbeat!
Wedding: 7/2/2011
This caterer was amazing! The food was delicious and looked wonderful. They take care of every little detail the day of the wedding so you don't have to worry about anything.
Perfect wedding caterer. Was great to work with and kept us calm and focused. The food and service the day of the wedding was even better than we could have ever hoped! Walter and Nora are the best!

Al-Qaeda branch seizes key Mali arms depotBAMAKO — An Al-Qaeda offshoot has seized a key arms depot in Mali, security sources said Sunday, deepening the crisis facing the country after rebels declared an independent Islamic state in the north.
The underground weapons and ammunition depot in the strategic northeastern town of Gao will vastly boost the firepower of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), sources said, even as the coup-torn country's embattled transitional government struggled to assert its authority over the vast desert north.
"It's one of the main depots of the Malian army," a security source told AFP, adding that it had been built in case of "a long and difficult war."
A regional security source confirmed the seizure, saying the vast cache of weapons will "really boost AQIM's striking power", and adding: "It is really impressive what AQIM has found in the underground depot."
The source said the group "is today more armed than the combined armies of Mali and Burkina Faso", Mali's neighbour to the east.

Re: Al-Qaeda branch seizes key Mali arms depot
Most of the north was Muslim anyway and the Tuaregs and other groups have been fighting against the corruption of the south and the imposition of un-Islamic secularist puppets for decades it seems.
These weapons, if anything, will serve in the defense of the Islamic emirate and it behooves them to make sure to first establish the north's independence before looking to strike at the south or anyone else, In Sha Allah.
This is yet another trick of the media to characterize the seizure as an 'al-Qaeda' acquisition of serious weaponry. They are merely setting the stage for international or ECOWAS assaults and the justification for by-passing international norms of diplomacy and peaceful conflict resolution.
Really, what loss of life have the MNLA and Ansar e Dine caused thus far? Not a single death attributable to them or their insurrection. It has been practically bloodless. Yet they pose such a 'threat' and there is such a 'crisis'?
Rubbish. Propaganda rubbish.

Re: Al-Qaeda branch seizes key Mali arms depot
Mali rebels split over sharia in new state | Reuters
French President Francois Hollande urged African leaders to appeal to the United Nations Security Council to tackle the worsening crisis in Mali."What we want is that these institutions (African Union, ECOWAS) go to the U.N. Security Council so that it finds a framework that allows stability to be restored in Mali and the wider Sahel," Hollande said after meeting Benin's president, Yayi Boni, who currently heads the African Union.
Asked whether France, the former colonial ruler, would be ready to help restore stability in Mali through military intervention, Hollande said Paris would abide by Security Council resolutions and would be ready to help if asked to.
He said he had consulted Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara, who heads ECOWAS, on Tuesday morning and told him he wanted the regional institutions to take the issue to the Security Council "as soon as possible."
"We don't want to interfere but we are aware of our responsibilities," Hollande said, adding that six French nationals were still being held in the Sahel by al Qaeda's north African wing.
I think that the Mujahideen believe that a foreign attack is inevitable and they will be preparing for it. Look at this arrogant Hollande, thinking that Mali is his backyard where he can do what he wants.

Discussion with an obnoxious atheist
Nick is an atheist who sought me out for a dialogue. Not all atheists are as obnoxious as this one. But, it illustrates well how a lot of them behave and think. I tried to be civil with him, but he became quite rude. Such discussions rarely accomplish anything.
I bleeped out a few of his "colorful" words. I failed to save the first few lines, so it just jumps right in.
Nick: I am an Atheist.
Matt: It seems to me you already have you mind made up and trying to change it won't make any difference . . .
Nick: Nothing funnier than self-righteous indignation . . .
Matt: You want me to be reasonable, but you have started off unreasonably.
Nick: OK .. let me re-approach.
Matt: Good idea.
Nick: Matt. I love your dialogues with Atheist on carm.org. It's an extremely intelligent site. I Love it.
Matt: Thanks.
Nick: I may learn from it.
Matt: Good.
Nick: But I have questions.
Matt: Okay, that was better. Now go ahead and attack. I'm ready.
Nick: Hope you log this one.
Matt: You want me to?
Nick: I wanna see it appear on carm.org. Again let me repost: What makes you so sure that your Christian idea of the universe is better than all the other religions? Where's your evidence to disprove the validity of other religions?
Matt: That is quite a question. Let me wade through it slowly.
Nick: Just try it. I know your going to wimp out on this one. ;-)
Matt: First of all, I don't begin with trying to disprove other religions. I begin with demonstrating the validity of Christianity. Once that is done, the other ones fall by the wayside. The Bible is quite reliable historically, archaeologically, prophetically, etc. It has Jesus' words and deeds in it, which are, to say the least, miraculous. In short (very short), I believe the eyewitness accounts of His miracles . . . of the fulfilled prophecies . . . of the accurate accounts, historically, of the Bible, etc. It is quite logically to conclude it is truthful.
Nick: What, you think there haven't been thousands of gods invented throughout human history ???
Matt: In it, Jesus said that He alone was the way, the truth, and the life. Therefore, Jesus said all other systems are false. I believe what Jesus said. Simple.
Nick: Why do you twisted morons insist that these stupid rules your Christian masters made up from thin air actually apply to everybody?
Matt: I think you missed the whole point. You ignored the reasoning . . .
Nick: Allah created the universe. The Koran is the story (Islam)
Matt: Ah, I see . . . you ask for reason; and when I give it to you, you ignore it and make emotional accusations.
Nick: Shiva created the universe . . . mahabharata is the story (Hinduism). Spirits created the universe . . . our ancestors tell the story Indians). God created the universe . . . The bible is the story (Christianity)
Matt: Yeah . . . ? so?
Nick: Pink Turtles created the universe . . . Told by a friend at a party (drunkenness)
Matt: Jesus said they were all wrong when He said He was the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). I believe Him.
Nick: Now, which one of these is valid? If one is valid, then all others must be invalid. Or none are valid at all.
Matt: Now, please, can you tell me why I shouldn't believe what Jesus said?
Nick: For the world cannot be created more than once by different entities if it was not destroyed first. The Koran can't be the story of creation if the Bible is.
Matt: Jesus said they were all wrong when He said He was the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). I believe Him. Now, please, can you tell me why I shouldn't believe what Jesus said?
Nick: Matt, I will tell you why this way, how can you reasonably reject every other religion in the world except yours? They've all got musty old books of myths.
Matt: . . . and please, one comment at a time . . . Can you please tell me why I should reject the words of Jesus who claimed to be God in flesh, fulfilled the prophecies, rose from the dead, etc.?
Nick: Maybe because he died, because he was a minor rabble rouser and pissed off the authorities. Then he whined like a ***** when they pinned him to a stick and left him to dry in the sun. You tell me.
Matt: You wanted reasonable discussion. So, please give me a reasonable answer to my question. Okay, I see you don't really have a good reason. I have given you some quick, basic reasons for my faith and why I believe what I do, and you've offered nothing of substance at all. So, please, try again.
Nick: Matt . . . it's text written by moronic peasants who believe any pie the sky is by and by.
Matt: By the way, if you can't offer something, I think I'll just end this discussion and go do something else.
Nick: Why do you theists insist on misusing the word "faith" when you really mean "confidence"?
Matt: Come on, last chance for a reasoned comment from you with some evidence . . . if not, I'm going to leave you to your own thoughts.
Nick: I just don't get it. It must be some huge mental problem where you have to project your baseless beliefs on those who are demonstrably free of them.
Matt: Last chance . . .
Nick: It bothers you immensely, so you have to pretend that we are just as stupid as you. Faith means ungrounded belief *without* evidence or reason.
Matt: You started it, please finish this . . .
Nick: You try and zap me with my illogic.
Matt: Later . . .
Nick: Well, here you are becoming just another arrogant theist *#@^#@*. You think that real meaning only comes with god-belief. Piss off. Or try to understand.
Matt: Is that your best come-back? You began this by stating you wanted facts and reason. I'm asking that of you, and you don't give me any.
Nick: If you want to call this Jesus assertion faith, then fine, all you are proving is that you are a solopsist. For me, the difference between this and *religious* faith, is that my sense data can be corroborated by others. If it cannot, then I think that is a reliable indication that I am deluded in some way. There's plenty of evidence that humans can be deluded in many different ways, so it would be foolish of me to think that I or anyone else are beyond delusion.
Matt: Instead, you insult me. Okay, I'll see you round . . . When you are ready for a serious discussion, contact me again.Signing off.
Nick: Matt your faith in "his" words is clearly nothing more than a psychological delusion, which your mind has manufactured in order to give you a feeling of worth and purpose, that you should have developed as a child.
I've noticed that a significant number of atheists who profess a desire for rational debate often degenerate their own arguments into accusations and insults. When this happens, it means they have nothing rational to offer. I point that out; and if they don't calm down, I just leave.
On the other hand, I have had some very good conversations with a few atheists who were polite and reasonable. We disagreed, but neither side ended up in name-calling.
One more thing, he misspelled "solipsist" which is someone who believes in solipsism: "The theory or view that the self is the only reality."

St. Paul Campus

Edison, Henry, North, Roosevelt, South, Southwest and Washburn
(winning team from each topic):
What should Evan do?
Evan wants further education after high. He will choose between a 4 year college and 4 year trade school. He projects expenses at $5,000 a year beyond what he has saved. The best thing for Evan to do, evaluating both personal and financial issues, (i.e., Net Present Value, risks, personal desires, projected income, etc.) is:
TEAM ONE: South/ Henry
Go to school by taking out a loan. The $20,000 he will need must be paid back after he graduates. The interest rate is (5.9%) and he will have 10 years to repay.
TEAM TWO: Southwest/Roosevelt/Edison
Work for two years at a full-time job. He can save $10,000.00 per year living at home with his parents and then he could attend school without taking out a loan and living on a tight budget.
TEAM THREE: Washburn/North
Work part-time while going to school part-time. Evan figures he could still graduate by using this method and have some financial flexibility.
Given the competing goals of: 1) access, 2) cost-effectiveness and 3) quality in a well-designed health care system, which model is most effective?
TEAM ONE: Southwest/Henry
A free market with minimum governmental interference.
TEAM TWO: North/Roosevelt/Edison
Government-administered single-payer insurance with mandates on cost and quality.
TEAM THREE: South/Washburn
A hybrid system with moderate public insurance subsidizes and
regulations regarding quality and access.
The value of the U.S. dollar on the world markets has significant ramifications on the growth of the U.S. economy and wealth of Americans.
Policy-makers have a choice in deciding whether to pursue policies that help strengthen the value of the dollar (high exchange value), weaken the value of the dollar (low exchange value), or leave the dollar's value to float freely (no explicit policy targeted to affect the dollar's value) on the world currency markets.
Considerable controversy exists on which of these policies is best for Americans and American business.
TEAM ONE: North/South/Edison
Maintaining a strong dollar in the world's markets is in the best interest of both U.S. business and Americans. U.S. policy-makers should target policies that promote a strong U.S. dollar.
TEAM TWO: Southwest/Washburn
A weak dollar in the world's markets is in the best interest of both U.S. business and Americans. U.S. policy-makers should target policies that promote a weak U.S. dollar.
TEAM THREE: Roosevelt/Henry
Position III: It is in the best interest of both U.S. based business and Americans to allow the dollar to float freely on international markets. U.S. policy-makers should not target the value of the dollar in their policy decisions, but allow the dollar's value to float freely on the international markets.

Wrapped air tight and frozen raw, the livers should do quite well for
up to a month. Cooked first, then frozen, most any re-heating process
you may use will cause substantial flavor and texture loss.

Text messaging is not an effective way to change the minds of pregnant women who do not intend to get the influenza vaccine, according to a new study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The researchers studied 158 urban, low-income pregnant women, who received health text messages regularly about pregnancy. However, only the intervention group received text messages specifically educating and instructing them about the flu vaccine. Still, for both groups, only 32 percent of women got the vaccine. The stated reasons for not receiving the vaccine were fear of vaccine side effects (23 percent), a dislike of shots (15 percent), and a previous bad experience with the flu vaccine (15 percent). Text messaging might not be the best tool to persuade people to do things. "Despite these concerns, more than half [of the study participants] reported that they would get or consider getting the flu shot if it were recommended to them by their prenatal care provider," wrote study author Dr. Michelle Moniz in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Promote Prevention and Wellness across the Lifespan
HHS is dedicated to improving the health and quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. Good health comes not just from receiving quality medical care, but also from clean air and water, safe outdoor spaces for physical activity, safe worksites, healthy foods, violence-free environments, and healthy homes. Prevention and wellness are essential components to good health and a high quality of life for Americans young and old.
Improve the Accessibility and Affordability of Prevention and Wellness Services
The Affordable Care Act requires most health plans to cover certain recommended preventive services and to eliminate cost-sharing for those services to help make wellness and prevention services affordable and accessible. The Affordable Care Act also helps make it easier and more affordable for individuals enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid to access preventive screenings and services, such as mammograms, colonoscopies, smoking cessation counseling, mental health services, and routine vaccinations for children and adults. Strategic plans such as the U.S. National Vaccine Plan ensure a continued focus on key public health strategies.
Use Evidence-based Policies and Programs to Promote Prevention and Wellness
HHS is advancing the use of evidence-based policy and program interventions to address the leading causes of death and disability in the United States including heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic lower respiratory diseases, serious mental illness, unintentional injuries, and preventable behaviors such as tobacco use, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol use and other substance abuse that contribute to those causes. The Affordable Care Act's Prevention and Public Health Fund is designed to improve the ability to prevent disease by detecting it early, helping to manage it, and by providing states and communities with the resources they need to promote healthy living.
Initiatives such as the Million Hearts® Initiative and the National Diabetes Prevention Program demonstrate how partnerships between the public and private sector can extend the reach of these efforts. Investments in effective education campaigns, such as Tips from Former Smokers, are critical for saving lives and reducing health care costs. HHS research and technical collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture are leading to the reduction of sodium and trans fats in the food supply. Inclusive health promotion programs such as the President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition's I Can Do It, You Can Do It! program creates opportunities for children and adults across the disability spectrum to lead healthy lifestyles, which include regular physical activity and good nutrition. Targeted testing of people at risk and timely referral to medical care for people found to be infected with hepatitis C are effective strategies in preventing disease and death and reducing health care costs associated with those infections. HHS also works with hospitals to adopt standards and practices that support breastfeeding initiation and duration, to help promote optimal infant nutrition and lower childhood obesity.
Implement the National Prevention Strategy
The National Prevention Strategy presents a vision, goals, action items, and recommendations that individuals and public, private, and nonprofit organizations can take to increase the number of Americans who are healthy at every stage of life. HHS, in coordination with the National Prevention Council and a broad range of stakeholders, is implementing key goals of the strategy, which include building healthy and safe community environments, expanding quality preventive services in both clinical and community settings, empowering people to make healthy choices, and eliminating health disparities. The seven priorities are tobacco-free living, preventing drug abuse and excessive alcohol use, healthy eating, active living, injury and violence-free living, reproductive and sexual health, and mental and emotional well-being. The National Prevention Council Action Plan builds from the strategy, and identifies National Prevention Council commitments and unique actions being taken by federal departments, including HHS. Within their respective departments and agencies, the twenty departments and agencies that comprise the National Prevention Council are partnering for a strategic focus on increasing tobacco-free environments, increasing access to affordable, healthy food, and identifying opportunities to consider prevention and health through collaborative, cross-sector efforts and areas where they may not typically be considered (e.g., workforce development, transportation planning).

Is there any effect on my app?
In one word – NO!
More details:

Which tracking methods AppsFlyer uses?
In Android, AppsFlyer uses the Google Play referrer parameter with fingerprinting and ID bases attribution technology backup.
For iOS, AppsFlyer runs NativeTrack™, a proprietary, patent-pending, set of heuristic algorithms combined with statistical analysis and machine learning, to analyze multiple data points from the device, fingerprints, traffic, profilers, carrier, application and others, to statistically determine, on an anonymous basis, the likely unique user of the device, app download and conversion. We assign an internal unique user identifier to the user profile developed for that individual. This user identifier is not based on a UDID or MAC address, and is completely anonymized. In addition, AppsFlyer supports ID based attribution when available, combined with fingerprinting providing the most accurate mobile attribution without compromising user experience or accuracy.
While PC browser and Android device fingerprints are pretty unique, the situation with iOS devices is different. AppsFlyer was the first to apply what the industry refers to as device fingerprinting. According to the data we collected over time, we developed something that goes beyond device fingerprinting. NativeTrack™ is proved to provide the most accurate conversion and installation tracking for native applications.
Do I have to integrate AppsFlyer's SDK?
Yes. We know it's usually a pain – not here! You will never have to integrate another tracking SDK again.
Our SDK is ultra-light (40kb) and the integration is literally a line of code.
This one time integration allows you to work with any ad-network and publisher and get the download & in-app conversion data in real time.
Feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.

Dates On Our Food- Do They Really Matter?
Finally there's an explanation. Do you throw food out when it's past the date on the label or wait until it smells bad.
A new Harvard study has the answer on what many of us have wondered.
The study wondered why use by dates cause a lot of people to trash perfectly good food.
So do food expiration dates really matter?
Nearly half of the food supply in the U.S. is tossed out because of those dates.
The Harvard study found 40 percent of the entire food supply in the U.S. is wasted because of these dates.
Did you know, baby formula and some baby foods are really the only foods required by federal law to have set expiration dates. Dates on other food items are merely suggestions from the manufacturer.
So do these dates really matter? Here's what experts say they really mean:
Use-by and best-buy dates indicate quality -- when the manufacturer thinks the food will reach its peak freshness, not when the food will spoil.
The sell-by date is really only for stores, letting them know how long the item should sit on the shelf. Usually, the food is still edible for some time after.
So before you toss out that cheese, give it a chance. It's probably still good. When in doubt, give it to your husband.
So the morale of the story here is you're probably not going to die if you eat something past the date on the label or wrapper.
Food experts say instead of looking at the date, look at the food, smell it -- if it looks and smells rotten, then toss it out. Don't just go by the date.

If available, we'll be in one of the larger sites on the right of the road as you're heading up, hopefully the big flat one before the lefthand switchback- off the main pass road, not the Leavenworth Creek road by the river. The river sites are better campsites, but seeing as how we need to be back at the bottom first thing Sunday why make things difficult- plus we'll have more space down below, the ones up higher are really best for 2-3 trucks max.
for anyone who hasn't been there before here are your directions: as soon as you leave pavement you'll go over what's likely the rockiest section of the entire trail system in the first 100 yards or so, then you hit a switchback, then get to a junction. take a right. If you go left it dead ends (feel free to explore, there's a cool spur that dead ends at the top of a small waterfall. So anyway you went right, you'll meander for a bit then at a right-hand switchback you'll see a spur to your left headed up the drainage- that doesn't really go anywhere, stay right and head up the main road. Look to the right, that's where we should be camped... if you see a group of moderately build Land Cruisers, yeah that's probably us. If you don't see anyone, then keep going- the road switches back left, then you'll see the Adopt-a-Road sign, then you'll get to another right-hand switchback where there's a spur to the left- take that, as it's the Leavenworth Creek section... we'll figure out a spot. Shout out on your radio if you feel you are lost.

I neglected to mention that along with my recent blood work a few weeks ago, it was also time again for that delightful test in which they send you home with the Penzo-oil size plastic jug to collect a urine sample for 24 hours. When I called the lab to check my blood results a few days after going in, the technician said curtly: "We've got the blood results, but nothing on the microalbumin yet. Did you turn that in?"
"Nope. I'm still planning for that one."
"I'm waiting for a day when I'm planning to be home all day long."
"Honestly, you don't expect me to drag the jug of pee around town with me, do you?!"
The lab technician went silent. Helloooo, I thought!
Geez, they gave me the #@$%! jug on a Tuesday: if I worked away from home like most folks do, how the heck would I manage a 24/hr pee sample during the week? It's hard enough just doing the "soccer mom" routine; if I schlepped the jug with me, I'd have to haul it (or lots of the little plastic specimen cups) into various park port-a-potties, not to mention the danger of curious and/or clumsy kids "messing with" the samples as they lay somewhere in my mini-van. Let's just not go there…
Anyhoo, I did manage to "collect a full sample," despite my urge to blow off this inconvenient test (i.e. wonderful, nagging partner who kept repeating Nike slogan, "just do it!") In fact, I've now done this fun-with-the-pee-jug thing a handful of times without really understanding what they were looking for or why, so I decided it was time to find out. I found an excellent Q&A-style explanation of the microalbumin (MA) test at WebMD. (I should use that site more often.) In short, small amounts of a protein called albumin leak into the urine when the kidneys are damaged. If this condition, called Microalbuminuria, exists, you may be well on your way to developing kidney failure. Bad news!
The good news is that the ultra-sensitive MA test is the earliest available indicator for the development of all sorts of diabetic complications, including diabetic nephropathy, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. In other words, this test helps doctors catch the problem early, so they can intervene and help stop or reverse nasty complications.
So I'm glad I didn't blow it off. Thank you, pee jug. Now I'm just working on some more fun ways to mess with the lab techs' heads next time.

If ou guyscare enough to go to that link, first listen to Essex Wonderland, which is kind of near the top. It's about certain.. Areas of the city where I live. You all should get a kick out of the accent. Then go near the bottom and download "Special Ed" by Stephen Lynch. It's so funny.
You should definitely listen to Essex Wonderlad. It will really make you people appreciate where you live, I bet. I should record me saying some things that people say I have a "Baltimore" accent with.
I once went to a McDonalds outside of Maryland, and asked for water, and they chick was like "WUUTER? HUH? YOU MEAN WATER???" Geez.
-Listens to Essex Wonderland.- you people who don't live in Maryland are so lucky. If you haven't already, go listen to Essex Wonderland. You will shit yourself laughing so hard at the accent.
The funniest part is, some people actually do talk like that xD

David Laury will not play this season at Garden City CC in Kansas. The East Orange, NJ native will head to New Rochelle, NY and play for Tim Cluess and the Iona Gaels. Laury will have to sit a full year due to residency requirements after transferring in January. Laury will be eligible to play for the Gaels in January of 2013. He will have two and half years of eligibility once he gets on the court.
Laury is a 6-foot-8, 240-pound forward who is extremely physical in the post. Laury loves to grind in the paint and has the ability to take a hit and finish through contact. He handles the ball well for his size and is an excellent passer out of the high post. Laury played last season at Lamar State-Port Arthur before transferring to Garden City CC during the off-season. As a freshman at Lamar State-Port Arthur he averaged 16 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists per game while shooting 60 percent from the field.
Jared Grasso, who was recently promoted to Associate Head Coach at Iona, was instrumental in Laury's recruitment. It's not a surprise when Grasso, who is known as a tireless recruiter, is the main reason a player decides to play for Iona. Along with bringing in many quality high school recruits, Grasso has found his niche in the junior college ranks.
Grasso left Fordham and teammed up with the newly hired Cluess in April of 2010. In only 18 months the new Iona staff has been able to bring in the following JUCO recruits: Mike Glover (College of Eastern Utah), Randy Dezouvre (Monroe College), Taaj Ridley (Lawson State) and Diggs Moikobu (Cochise). They have a commitment from 2012 prospect Da'Shawn Gomez (Antelope Valley CC) and have now added David Laury.
Glover was the first junior college recruit that Cluess and Grasso were able to get their hands in the spring of 2010. It's safe to say that Glover has "panned" out for the Gaels. He was the leading scorer (18.4 ppg) and rebounder (10.1) in the MAAC last season. Glover was recently selected as the MAAC's Preseason Player of the Year and Iona was picked to win the conference. Glover was also one of fifty players selected as a Preseason Wooden Award Candidate, which is given annually to the best college basketball player in the country. He is the only junior college transfer in his class to be named a Wooden Award Candidate.
The Gaels will lose Glover after this season, but you better believe Cluess/Grasso and company will be scouring the JUCO ranks searching for a replacement.

A summary of the recent National Academy of Science workshop on supply and demand.
The ability of petroleum production to meet demand is being questioned more insistently in recent years. Given the profound importance of this issue, the US National Academy held a Workshop on trends in oil supply and demand and potential for peaking of conventional oil production in the fall of 2005 in Washington, DC. Both the question of peak oil production and possible means to provide new supplies and reduce demand were examined.
Based on the best science available to industry, government and academic researchers, Workshop participants reached a consensus that non-OPEC oil production would peak by about 2010. This may be welcomed by some and cause great concern among others. Whatever the case, it should not be ignored.
Unfortunately, the topic is much more controversial than it should be.

"Hard to believe this is as low in calories because it taste so good--a great flavor combination! I think I might not cook the apples next time because the crunch would be an added texture bonus. As always, way to go Lisa!"
"I just made this at home and was a little skeptical that I'd like it without any dressing. It was great! With the combination of flavors, the parm cheese was just the right touch. My only disagreement is that it's really too much for one serving (and I thought I was a big eater). Thanks again, Lisa.""

How the U.S. Uses Surveillance and Scandal to Advance Its Global Control

For more than six months, Edward Snowden's revelations about the National Security Agency (NSA) have been pouring out from the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Guardian, Germany's Der Spiegel, and Brazil's O Globo, among other places. Yet no one has pointed out the combination of factors that made the NSA's expanding programs to monitor the world seem like such a slam-dunk development in Washington. The answer is remarkably simple. For an imperial power losing its economic grip on the planet and heading into more austere times, the NSA's latest technological breakthroughs look like a bargain basement deal when it comes to projecting power and keeping subordinate allies in line -- like, in fact, the steal of the century. Even when disaster turned out to be attached to them, the NSA's surveillance programs have come with such a discounted price tag that no Washington elite was going to reject them.
For well over a century, from the pacification of the Philippines in 1898 to trade negotiations with the European Union today, surveillance and its kissing cousins, scandal and scurrilous information, have been key weapons in Washington's search for global dominion. Not surprisingly, in a post-9/11 bipartisan exercise of executive power, George W. Bush and Barack Obama have presided over building the NSA step by secret step into a digital panopticon designed to monitor the communications of every American and foreign leaders worldwide.
What exactly was the aim of such an unprecedented program of massive domestic and planetary spying, which clearly carried the risk of controversy at home and abroad? Here, an awareness of the more than century-long history of U.S. surveillance can guide us through the billions of bytes swept up by the NSA to the strategic significance of such a program for the planet's last superpower. What the past reveals is a long-term relationship between American state surveillance and political scandal that helps illuminate the unacknowledged reason why the NSA monitors America's closest allies.
Not only does such surveillance help gain intelligence advantageous to U.S. diplomacy, trade relations, and war-making, but it also scoops up intimate information that can provide leverage -- akin to blackmail -- in sensitive global dealings and negotiations of every sort. The NSA's global panopticon thus fulfills an ancient dream of empire. With a few computer key strokes, the agency has solved the problem that has bedeviled world powers since at least the time of Caesar Augustus: how to control unruly local leaders, who are the foundation for imperial rule, by ferreting out crucial, often scurrilous, information to make them more malleable.
A Cost-Savings Bonanza With a Downside
Once upon a time, such surveillance was both expensive and labor intensive. Today, however, unlike the U.S. Army's shoe-leather surveillance during World War I or the FBI's break-ins and phone bugs in the Cold War years, the NSA can monitor the entire world and its leaders with only 100-plus probes into the Internet's fiber optic cables.
This new technology is both omniscient and omnipresent beyond anything those lacking top-secret clearance could have imagined before the Edward Snowden revelations began. Not only is it unimaginably pervasive, but NSA surveillance is also a particularly cost-effective strategy compared to just about any other form of global power projection. And better yet, it fulfills the greatest imperial dream of all: to be omniscient not just for a few islands, as in the Philippines a century ago, or a couple of countries, as in the Cold War era, but on a truly global scale.
