I have actually stopped throwing up :) some nausea but much better, though I am still incredibly tired and unmotivated. But 17 weeks today! We have no nursery because we only have a 3 bedroom house and will keep the baby in with us until my son is about 12 (2 years) and I feel comfortable with him being in a bedroom downstairs (which is currently an office). No birth plan, this will be my third c-section. I do have a prenatal appointment tomorrow and I am still waiting for a referral to the high-risk clinic at a nearby university hospital. My two children have heart defects and we want to make sure this child is ok to the best we can! Still no idea on if it is a boy or a girl, though hoping we will find out at the next ultrasound. Nice to hear that everyone is doing well!

I'm ordering diapers from diapers.com this time around -- no higher than anyplace else, and if you spend $50, you get free overnight fedex shipping. I got our first two cases for about 16c a diaper -- with a couple deals, but even without they're about 19/20c a diaper... And these I got are the Pampers swaddlers. So, something to keep in mind. I know other mommies who get theirs through amazon.com. Check them out and see if either make sense for you. If nothing else, I love that I don't have to remember to go buy them. That's the big thing. I ordered mine on a Friday morning and had them Saturday afternoon.
Once Upon a Child is a brick & mortar chain in the US -- don't have a website you can purchase from. It's local resale of all things kids. We stopped in again yesterday to look for a pack & play, and all the strollers were twin or triplet... very reasonable and I don't know about you, but I don't need all new things for this baby. Just nice things. I picked up a ton of clothes for her, too. Onesies for $1 (like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein -- she's going to be better dressed than mommy, LOL). You probably cannot get out to do that just now, but right after the babies are born. See if they have any nearby. Our nearest is 40 minutes away but worth it to save a ton of money. That Chicco stroller I got would have been $300 new, and it looks GREAT. Just had to wash the inside cover and it's perfect.
Cannot imagine how expensive it is going to be with 3 babies. I feel for you. But, at least now you'll have 4 children to take care of you when you and hubby are old and infirm. ;) /silver lining!!

So happy to see you here at 30w, Wendy. I keep hoping those babies stick around for several more weeks! I think you're a champ for enduring all you have to. Not much longer!!
I'm feeling well, just tired. You know, same ol' same ol'. Had to postpone my last checkup (last week) due to work issues -- we're very busy and one of the girls' was out so I really couldn't spare time OOO, so that's now scheduled for Thursday. Just a quick checkup. Zoë seems to be faring well in there, though, near as I can tell. I think she's in some sort of dance competition -- she's SO active. It's hilarious.
But, I still don't sleep well. It's getting old. I may resort to Tylenol PM before it's over, but I want to try not to. I'll discuss with the OB next week.
We're almost all set as far as prep goes. Crib and bedding are bought. I actually finally just got her quilt I wanted from Pottery Barn Kids. It's adorable, and now on backorder because it's so popular I guess. Glad I snagged it in time! She's also got 3 other blankets. Funny, we're in TX, the last place one needs a blanket! LOL! Also, have more clothes than one little girl needs, enough diapers for her first 2 months, stroller (a Chicco I scored for $60 at Once Upon a Child), and bouncy seat. I need a car seat, bottles, and formula, and then we're good. I'm still waffling on the car seat. I just cannot decide what I want. A Britax for sure, but that's all I've got. I need to get on the stick here and just get it done. I'll feel much better once I do.
15 more weeks, though I'm hoping she comes a bit early. She could come as early as July 15 (12 more weeks) and I'd be ok with that, as she'd be considered term. I have big babies anyway, so it would be all good IMO. :) But, we've already decided that she's a bit contrary, so she'll probably be late (in spite of our talks)! LOL.
Hope everyone else is faring well!

I saw a guy this weekend with a setup that really cool and I'm trying to duplicate so any assistance would be great. He had is tank on his vest when he refilled the tank instead of pulling the tank out or turning around to fill the tank he had a separate line that he used to fill his tank. So if you know what he did that would be great. I was assuming that is was Dual remote line but that is for one tank to lines going to two different markers what I am looking for is one line to the marker and another line used for refill purposes only.

Inside the World Economic Forum on Latin America
It all starts with significant resources.
I'm talking about the World Economic Forum (WEF) itself, as an international institution, as well as those it brings together so famously. Besides its annual global forum in Davos, Switzerland, the WEF also hosts regional agendas, such as the current forum on Latin America this year taking place in Panama City, Panama.
Here, alongside Thomson Reuters colleagues from Colombia, Peru, and Argentina, there are executives from companies like AGCO, Bombardier, Banco Itaú, Nestlé and Visa; a governmental presence with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and various trade ministers; international thinkers such as Moisés Naím (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace); and heads of regional and international organizations, such as the Secretary-General for the Organization for American States.
Topics of this year's forum – infrastructure, foreign trade, human capital and talent, preparing for growth, the role of government, and transparency – all aim to support the motto of the forum: Committed to Improving the State of the World. (more…)

Patriots-Bucs: Sickly offenses come togetherBy HOWARD ULMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 22,2013AP PHOTO
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady stretches out his arm during a practice/stretching session at the teams training facility in Foxborough, Mass., on Wednesday.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. If Tom Brady had Tampa Bays veteran receivers on his team, the NFLs two-time MVP might not have had so much trouble winning his first two games.
If the Buccaneers had Brady instead of struggling Josh Freeman at quarterback, their chances of being unbeaten instead of winless would have been infinitely better.
On Sunday, Brady again will try to get in sync with the New England Patriots crop of rookie wide receivers, another test of his admitted lack of patience when there is a game to be won.
I think theres a real urgency to what we do here, he said. This is not tiddlywinks. This is real football and this is a real job and were held accountable every single day for what we do every single day.
This is about winning football games, and were doing our best to do it, and thats why we work hard. Thats why you make the commitments you make to the players that you play with, so that we can go out and try to win, and win on a consistent basis.
With Danny Amendola expected to be sidelined with a groin injury, three of Bradys top four wide receivers are rookies. The Patriots also are missing running back Shane Vereen with a broken wrist, but hope to have star tight end Rob Gronkowski for the first time after offseason forearm and back surgery.
Freeman has plenty of help with running back Doug Martin and wide receivers Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams. But Freeman is 30th in the NFL in passer rating and 33rd in completion percentage.
Theres some good things you look at the first two ballgames, despite some that were inconsistent or a little bit rocky along the way, offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan said of Freemans play. Its not just one player, its not just one play, its a combination of a collective group of men going out and executing. To this point, we havent done that.
Five things to look for when the Bucs (0-2) visit the Patriots (2-0):
CLOSE CALLS: Tampa Bays losses have been by field goals in the closing seconds, dropping coach Greg Schiano to 0-5 in games decided by three or fewer points.
Its frustrating, sure. Just when you lose, period, its frustrating, he said. When you put 85-90 hours of work into a week, and then you dont achieve what you set out to achieve, frustrating would be probably the most mild word you could use.
MORE CLOSE CALLS: The Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills 23-21 on a field goal with 5 seconds left, then edged the New York Jets 13-10 when Brady completed fewer than half his passes for the first time in 58 games, including the postseason.
I think everyone knows were a couple of plays away from losing games and they were a couple of plays away from winning games, Patriots safety Devin McCourty said, so you really cant always take a team just from the record.
OLD-TIME QB: After facing rookie quarterbacks in their first two games, the Patriots will go against five-year veteran Freeman. That gives them more video to help prepare. But it also makes it tougher to confuse a player with plenty of experience.
Hes got a strong arm, Patriots safety Steve Gregory said. He can definitely get the ball downfield and hes athletic, can move around in the pocket, can get into the open field and run with the ball.
BETTER D, BUT: With the addition of backs Darrelle Revis and Dashon Goldson, Tampa Bays defense has shown dramatic improvement over last season, when it nearly set an NFL for yards passing allowed. But the Bucs have been unable to finish off the opposition.
It comes down to players, Schiano said. We can draw a lot of squiggly lines to put the players in a position where they can do their job, and then you have to trust that theyll do it.
SNEAK PREVIEW: The teams held joint practices in Foxborough before the Patriots beat the Buccaneers 25-21 in an exhibition game. That experience likely had limited value for the teams in getting ready for Sunday because neither side revealed much of what it would do in the regular season.
It was definitely not showing them everything that we have in our playbook. Theyll sure see it this upcoming week, Martin said.

Samsung is about to debut its Samsung Galaxy S's Galaxy S Plus in India in about couple of weeks. You can preorder a Samsung Galaxy S Plus for yourself on the two of India's popular online shopping sites, Letsbuy.com and Flikpkart.com
Features of Samsung Galaxy S Plus
The biggest plus in the Galaxy S is indeed its improved processor. The Samsung Galaxy S Plus has got the 1.4 GHz processor that makes Galaxy S Plus work like a charm, with much higher clock speeds than the Galaxy S. Galaxy S Plus has a 4 inch AMOLED screen, 512 MB RAM, and a 5 MP regulation camera, and a 0.3 MP front facing camera.
Samsung Galaxy S Plus comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, which makes the phone superfast along with a fine 1.4GHz processor. Samsung also added some cool features to Galaxy S Plus like anti fingerprint coating.
You get this phone for around Rs. 22,500. I would call this a good deal! Though I didn't had hands on this phone, I could still feel its speed, and power. If you are looking to get a really smart smart phone around this budget, look no further!
Samsung Galaxy S Plus launch in India is not officially known, but it's more likely to hit the stores somewhere in the middle of the October.

"Take the 2:43 of "Morning Star". It's a rip-roarin' blazing rocker of a track, slicked with Johan Holm's gnarly basslines, Martin Fairbanks' thick, fuzz-covered riffing and Niklas Sjoberg's scowling vocal that rises up and up, ending in a howling falsetto. At other times, during say "Feelin' Low", they seem impelled to explore the more Sabbathian realms of old school doom. They linger upon each note to turn the pace into a lollop. They reach a depth and breadth of undertow that begins to congeal around you leaving you mired (by the album's end, naturally) in the Saint Vitus-worshipping sedentary plod that "The Infidel" becomes. It forms the quicksand that has secreted itself around your legs, slurping and burping all around."
"The Graviators newest album 'Evil Deeds' returns to the late '70s NWOBHM sound as is one of the band's staple qualities. The album is full of cult themes, doom riffs reminiscent of the early days, and an eerie vocal delivery. As far as their overall sound, they are stuck somewhere in between Cathedral and Witchfinder General. In addition to the early doom and eclectic influences, The Graviators make good use of harmonics to create elemental bridges, especially in "Forlorn". Some stoner influences are also present, which really show through in "The Infidel", which also has a kick ass solo about two-thirds the way through."

Black Women's Health Study
Ongoing research into causes of health disparities in the United States
African-American women have the highest rate of breast cancer mortality in the US. The Black Women's Health Study aims to save the lives of African American women around the country.
The Black Women's Health Study, conducted in partnership with Boston University (PI: Lynn Rosenberg) and Lucile Adams-Campbell (PI: subcontract at Lombardi), which began in 1995, is the largest cohort study of African-American women in existence today. It tracks weight, nutrition, body mass index, reproductive history, smoking and alcohol use, physical activity, and disease incidence.
The study provides researchers with invaluable epidemiological data on health risks and disease development. African-American women have the highest rate of breast cancer mortality in the US, the highest incidence and mortality due to colorectal cancer, and are twice as likely to die from cervical cancer than Caucasian women, yet little data exists to explain the divergence.
Continued research into the causes of these disparities remains invaluable to saving the lives of African-American women across the US.

Patriots Get Revenge on Longwood; Game With Mount St. Mary's Cancelled
April 11, 2006
The George Mason Patriots avenged a loss from earlier this month by downing Longwood University, 4-3 on Tuesday at Spuhler Field in non-conference baseball action. Four players drove in runs for the Patriots who got three perfect innings from Jared Petrovich, three innings from winning pitcher Mike Modica (2-1), a scoreless inning from Billy Tinsley and a two-inning save from Jordan Flasher. Mason is now 13-19 on the season while Longwood fell to 18-18.
Mason will have two days off before playing a weekend Colonial Athletic Association series at James Madison. Mason's Wednesday game against Mount St. Mary's has been cancelled.
Neither team managed a base runner until the bottom of the third when Mason broke through after a leadoff walk to Mike Genovese. Brett Pomykala's double put runners on second and third with one out and Spencer Wiggins' grounder up the middle brought Genovese home for a 1-0 lead.
Longwood responded in the fourth as Tyler Ames was hit by a pitch, went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Nick von Gersdorff, and scored on a Tyler Childress double. Mason retook the lead in the bottom of the fourth with two unearned runs. Ryan Uphouse singled, stole second and advanced to third Genovese reached on a throwing error by von Gersdorff. Tyler Youngs reached on a fielder's choice that eliminated Genovese. When Youngs stole second, Longwood catcher Jon Quigley threw the ball onto the infield grass, allowing Uphouse to race home with the go-ahead run. Pomykala doubled to bring home Youngs for a 3-1 lead.
Mason made the score 4-1 in the sixth when Scott Krieger led off the inning with a solo homer to right-center, his third of the year. Things got interesting in the eighth when Flasher entered the game. He gave up a single to Quigley and a double to Paul Heidler before striking out Joe Bott and Robbie Bailey. Ryan Rowe singled to plate Quigley and Heidler but after an Ames walk, Brian Polgar grounded out to end the threat.
The Lancers threatened with two out in the ninth as Quigley singled to left, but Flasher fanned Heidler to end the game and pick up his second save of the season. Kevin Light took the loss for Longwood, falling to 2-5. He allowed two earned runs in five and one-third innings. Alan Moore allowed just one hit in the final two and two-third innings.
Pomykala was the lone Patriot with multiple hits, going 2 for 4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI. Quigley was 3 for 5 for Longwood while Rowe was 2 for 4 with two RBI.

Don't Google "Mormon"
My ward's high councilman warned us recently not to Google "Mormon."
It wasn't as totally out of the blue as I make it sound. It was during Fast and Testimony meeting. Someone told a story about talking to a friend about the Church. I wasn't paying close attention and didn't catch the details. I assume he said something about telling his friend to just Google us up, or if the friend already had. Anyway, the high councilman stood up afterward and said that we shouldn't suggest that people Google "Mormon," but instead we should point them directly to Mormon.org.
I can understand his motivation. After all, there's all kinds of Mormon stuff out there that hasn't been approved by Correlation, not to mention genuinely anti-Mormon stuff. That said, though, I think actually telling people not to Google "Mormon" is probably a bad idea if you really don't want them to because it raises the obvious question of why you shouldn't do it. Googling works really well for finding out lots of other things, and it's very easy to do for anyone who's at all curious. The problem with this question is that the answer leads to more questions about why Church history isn't taught more truthfully. This leads of course to the inoculation discussion that's a topic for another day (and it's already been thoroughly done at T&S and BCC).
Actually, what I wanted to get to was the question of just what would come up if I Googled "Mormon." So I did. (Two important things to note are that I did not include "news" results, and I did this search just before the Tony Awards, so it's likely at least somewhat out of date.) Here's what I found–at least the first 50 results–in handy graphical form:
You might quibble with how I categorized results, so let me tell you about my categories. Official sites are those owned by the Church, like lds.org and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir site. Pro sites are those that are so positive that they would probably make it past Correlation. This includes sites like Famous Mormons and About Mormonism. Neutral sites are things like Wikipedia articles or the BBC page on Mormons. Unflattering sites are ones that aren't anti-Mormon in aim, but might have content that would disturb some Mormons. These include Affirmation and Nicole Hardy's New York Times article "Single, Female, Mormon, Alone." Anti sites are those actively opposed to the Church. These include Recovery from Mormonism and the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry's page on Mormonism.
The most difficult line to categorize was probably between "neutral" and "unflattering," as I'm sure there are Mormons who would find parts of the Wikipedia articles unflattering (polygamy). I know a lot of Church members reacted negatively to Helen Whitney's PBS documentary "The Mormons," which I also categorized as "neutral."
But looking at the graph, I'm surprised at how many positive hits there are at the top. Church-owned sites take the top two slots, three of the top ten, and five of the top twenty. Pro-Mormon sites take two of the top ten and three of the top twenty. Only one of the top ten matches, and only seven of the top fifty, are actually anti-Mormon. I wonder if my high councilman would be pleased to know this. Perhaps not. Thinking again of Helen Whitney's documentary, I recall some commenters on the Bloggernacle pointing out at the time that much of the negative response from Church members may have been a result of their having heard and seen the Church portrayed almost entirely through the glowing eyes of Correlation. Because of this, any discussion of the Church that had even a neutral tone sounded jarring to them. So it's likely my ward's high councilman would be appalled that there are any anti-Mormon websites at all, and likely unhappy with a lot of the unflattering ones too.
My only real disappointment was that I didn't turn up any sites from the Bloggernacle.
- 17 June 2011
26 Responses to "Don't Google "Mormon""
My only real disappointment was that I didn't turn up any sites from the Bloggernacle.
And here I was waiting with bated breath to see how you'd categorize us.
I'm always a little uneasy with the idea that mormon.org should be the place to learn about Mormonism. If I were interested in learning about a church or any other organization, sure, I'd want to see its official site, but I'd probably take it with a grain of salt, and I'd also want to hear other perspectives on it. Official sites are bound to sound a bit propaganda-ish, and ours is no exception.
Like you, I was surprised by how many positive sites were at the top–for some reason I have the impression this hasn't always been the case (but I don't have a source on that one.)
Yes, it's kind of odd that the Bloggernacle blogs don't come up anywhere near the top on this search. The good news, though, is that my novel comes up on the second page when searching for ExMormon.
I'm not sure what to make of your Google results having relatively recently seen Eli Pasier's TED short on filter bubbles, where he says that your search history, geographical location, and other things can "filter" your search output. But curious, I did the same search and I'm fairly certain I got the same results, at least on the first page. We may very well have a lot of things that would effect search output in common though. I don't know. I do wonder how the search would turn out for those who aren't members in various geographical locations.
I'm not surprised that the Church has sites at the top as I was under the impression that you can monetarily influence your way up there. Or at the very least there are techniques you can use and of course they would want to hire someone who could implement them (unless of course creating and maintaining websites are volunteer callings, but still they'd want the best person for the job seeing as how it's such an important missionary resource).
I guess some people have been spending too much time reading their scriptures and not enough time working on the SEO.
For clarity here is the TED talk Maureen is talking about.
Maureen, I think you make a really good point about there not being "one Google" anymore. That's definitely something to consider when addressing search results in this way.
Here's a little clarification on how search results are ordered. There aren't any ways to monetarily influence* Google (or Bing, or Yahoo etc) to place your site higher in search results. Making it so Site A appears higher than Site B in a search engine is called SEO (Search Engine Optimization,) and is a huge business. I'd put money on the church, like any smart & large organization, having at least a few people who mainly focus on SEO.
Good SEO is determined by a number of factors. Some of those factors are things that the church can control (the way a site is built, the way a site is maintained) and things that the church can't directly control (how many sites link to the church's website, how long visitors stay at a site the church owns.)
Search engines are also designed to add variety to a search result, that means that the church will never occupy all of the first page in Google.
*That is, besides paying for advertising space, which is different then having ones site come up naturally in search results.
Google also tries to put the official site for a person or organization at or near the top of the list, so the mormon.org would show up near the top, regardless.
I can testify that the Church is concerned about the results people get when they Google "Mormon," since as a research assistant at BYU, I worked for a while on a project designed to optimize SEO. It seems kind of silly for a high councilman to recommend against doing something when the Church is clearly assuming that people will do it and working to make their experience as good as possible.
Like it or not, people will stray from the Church, even if they don't visit some of those sites. And, too many think that being objective is being Apostate.
In Relief Society the instructor told us not to google "mormon teenager" or variations of that. She said that horrible stuff would come up. Of course, I went home and immediately googled those very things.
Mormon Mentality shows up on the first page for me.
Mormon Matters shows up on page four and Jeff Lindsay shows up on page five. I'm sure Google has put a tag on my browser to keep a tab of where I go and then tailor their results based on the sites I go to.
Looks to me like there's actually a pretty decent balance of pro/con results.
I think what bothers me about this is that it's implied that people can't be trusted to discern for themselves what's a credible source and what's not, to decide on their own.

Well put, Macha.
I'm at least a little familiar with SEO–it's cool that you actually got to work on it Petra–but I didn't realize there was so much personalization going on. Dan, it's interesting that you get blogs so high up. I'm an obsessive Bloggernacle reader, and I don't. But it occurs to me that I hardly ever Google anything Bloggernacle-related (unless I'm looking for a half-remembered post or something) and I'm rarely signed in to Gmail or anything when I visit Bloggernacle blogs.
About distinguishing between credible and not credible:
When a niece converted to Islam, I went to the internet for information on religious and social aspects — political was well covered in the press. I quickly located a website that was massive, very well designed, easy to navigate, with detailed information about just about anything you'd want to know about daily Muslim life. (I had tried talking to my niece, but didn't want to be too inquisitorial.) This website was exactly what I had hoped to find.
Y'all may not know that Muslims do not use toilet paper. They have water pump tanks in their bathrooms, and some carry glass bottles in their purses for use in public restrooms. This is one of the earliest things about Islam that I learned from my niece, so it's the first section I turned to on that website — I wanted to know the hows and whys. I was quickly horrified. Not only do they not use toilet paper, but I counted 17 steps that governed Muslim use of the toilet. The website detailed for me the prayers that are uttered on entering a bathroom and on leaving it. They have to enter with the right foot first. They cannot talk to anyone while in the bathroom, even through a closed door. They must not glance at the contents of the bowl afterward. And on and on and on. The rules for other ordinary daily activities were just as strict and bizarre and restraining and, well, awful. I was terrified for my niece, not just for the restrictions governing every facet of her daily life, but also for the spiritual and moral details I learned as I read more and more on that wonderful, professional, helpful website.
Only it turns out, I eventually learned, that virtually nothing on that website was true, and that what little truth was there had been spun in such a way as to put the worst possible light on Islam and the people who follow it. It was as anti-Islam as could be devised.
And yet, even with my experience with anti-Mormon websites, it didn't occur to me that the same could be true of other groups. And I didn't recognize it when I saw it — I fell for it, totally and completely and terribly.
Not that I agree — I don't at all — with telling people that they must not google some particular term or subject. I just am not as confident as Macha and Ziff that people will discern credible from spurious. I couldn't.
I'm automatically signed in with my Gmail, so I do think they personalize my search based on my uses. I don't google for Mormon sites, but what I'm saying is that I think google does what some porn sites do as well, which is tag your browser with a little cookie that follows you around. See this article as an example
I wonder if the high councilman realized that at least half of the audience would google "mormon" simply because he made that statement.
My introduction to social media websites started many years ago after my bishop decided to end sacrament meeting with a short impromptu talk in which he warned everyone to stay away from myspace. Guess who set up an account that day?
Good point, Ardis. It's probably like so many other biases and blind spots, where we're all sure they only apply to other people.
I'm curious about the situation in the OP. Instead of:
"Don't google 'Mormon'; it's daaangerous." [Creepy voice. Lights flicker.]
might the _intended_ message have been:
"It's a more effective missionary technique to direct people to mormon.org than just trusting to chance. (Also, the angels that formerly made scriptures open to just the right page at just the right time are still being retrained to influence search-engine results.)"
Of course, I defer to Ziff's first-hand account and I'm aware that there is no shortage of the anti-googlers in Ziff's neighborhood. At any rate, I am surprised that the results are so favorable overall.
And ditto Ardis.
I wonder if Bishops should finish sacrament meetings by announcing that you should avoid your scriptures like the plague. Especially D&C 20, 84…
I'm not sure the rebellious streaks would kick in though…
You could very well be right, Edje. I may have misunderstood what he was getting at.
[…] going to let this kind of free publicity go to waste (though they wish they had more control over the information flow). Even the Community of Christ is wondering how to get in on the action, and atheists are wondering […]
As an exmormon, I am shocked and appalled! I was always told the apostates and antis owned the Internet. Now I see we barely make the top ten!
Maybe we need to spend a few million dollars on PR and SEO like the LDS church did and see where that gets us. We're in this for worldly gain, so surely we've got a few mil under the couch cushions, right?
Heard on NPR a few weeks ago that google results vary from person to person. The person talking argued that google is tailoring results based on past searches. So I think that we would all have different searches. The person speaking was particularly concerned that we weren't getting a full picture, representing both sides, when conducting google searches. Whether he has credibility, I don't know. But it is something to think about.
Well, now I just HAVE to go google "Mormon."

"The role of the Public Guardian is to protect people who lack capacity from abuse." [from OPG website]
MCA update emails
See MCA Update emails for the full text of these periodic emails.
About the Public Guardian
The following extract is from the OPG website
The role of the Public Guardian is to protect people who lack capacity from abuse.
The Public Guardian, supported by the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG), helps protect people who lack capacity by:
- Setting up and managing a register of Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA);
- Setting up and managing a register of Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPA);
- Setting up and managing a register of court orders that appoint Deputies;
- Supervising Deputies, working with other relevant organisations (for example, social services, if the person who lacks capacity is receiving social care);
- Instructing Court of Protection Visitors to visit people who may lack mental capacity to make particular decisions and those who have formal powers to act on their behalf such as Deputies;
- Receiving reports from Attorneys acting under LPAs and from Deputies; and
- Providing reports to the COP, as requested, and dealing with cases where there are concerns raised about the way in which Attorneys or Deputies are carrying out their duties.
The Public Guardian is also personally responsible for the management and organisation of the OPG, including the use of public money and the way it manages its assets. A separate Public Guardian Board scrutinises the work of the Public Guardian and then reports to the Lord Chancellor.

35 ° Fair
International law has affirmed the principle of religious freedom for more than sixty years. The 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights stated: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or in private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance." This basic freedom has been reaffirmed in several international human rights documents since then. (The relevant language from these documents can be found in the booklet "Religious Freedom: Key Documents and Texts," available from the Center.)
Beyond these international declarations, three-fourths of the world's approximately 200 countries provide for freedom of religion in their constitutions or other basic laws, and another 20% protect at least some religious practices. Yet despite these legal protections, every country in the world, including the United States, imposes some restrictions on the practice of religion. And in many countries these restrictions are severe.
A Report released in December 2009 by the Pew Forum on Religion in Public Life entitled Global Restrictions on Religion now offers a quantitative study of these restrictions. This study is the first of its kind, and its findings are both interesting and significant.
The Report measures two types of restrictions: government restrictions – those imposed by law or official policy, and social hostilities – restrictions on religion that are the result of violence or intimidation by private individuals and groups, including other religious groups. The report places countries into four categories for each type according to the degree of restrictions found in these countries: very high, high, moderate, or low. Disturbingly, the Report finds that 64 countries have high or very high restrictions on religion. Worse, while this number represents about one-third of the world's countries, many of them are among the world's most populous. This means that nearly 70% of the world's population, some 4.8 billion people, live in countries that impose major restrictions on religion, most often religious minorities.
Among the world's 25 most populous countries, the most restrictive overall is Iran, followed by Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, and India. The least restrictive high-population country is Brazil, followed by Japan, the U.S., Italy, and South Africa. China, the world's most populous country, ranks approximately in the middle of this group. It is among the worst offenders in terms of government restrictions, but ranks quite low in terms of social hostilities. Similar patterns are found in other countries; only one country, Saudi Arabia, appears in the "very high" category for both government restrictions and social hostilities. Other countries with very high government restrictions include Iran, Burma (Myanmar), and Eritrea; countries with very high social hostilities include Afghanistan, Somalia, and Israel.
When all countries are considered, the United States falls roughly in the middle. In terms of government restrictions, the U.S. is in the "low restrictions" group, as we might expect, though it appears 88th on the list of 119 countries in this group, roughly on a par with Nicaragua, Djibouti, and Argentina. On the social hostilities index, however, the U.S. fares far worse, falling into the "moderate" group alongside Vietnam, Australia, and the Republic of Macedonia. The main reason for this difference is the large number of religious hate crimes reported in nearly every state against many different religious groups. In other words, in the U.S., as in most other countries, there is a significant gap between the legal protection for religious freedom and the actual tolerance of religious difference in practice. This is one reason the work of the Center is so important.
As noted on the first page of this Newsletter, the Center's Spring 2010 Symposium will examine the importance of religious freedom in international relations, including the conduct of diplomacy. This has become an increasingly important topic in recent years. Advocacy of religious freedom has been an official part of U.S. foreign policy since the passage of the International Religious Freedom Act in 1998. This Act created an Office of International Religious Freedom in the State Department and the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Though their roles are somewhat different, both the State Department office and the Commission are charged with monitoring religious freedom around the world and making annual reports and policy recommendations. These reports have become major resources for tracking religious freedom in the world today.
The speakers in the Center's Spring 2010 Symposium include the first Director of the State Department office, Dr. Thomas Farr, and the current Vice Chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, Dr. Elizabeth Prodromou. This Symposium offers Virginia Wesleyan College and the Hampton Roads community a unique opportunity to explore these important issues.

How do you handle adding a baby to a already busy schedule?"

How do you handle adding a baby? A baby takes priority and everything else just falls into place... It's like love... you don't love someone less because you meet another person you love, your love just grows!!! A baby doesn't fit into a schedule, it just adds to it, and what is no longer important, falls away gracefully forgotten.

Barefoot in the Park playing at Connecticut Cabaret Theatre in Berlin
Think back to a simpler time, when your worst problems involved a nagging mother-in-law, an uptight husband or a wife who's a bit of a loose cannon. Get into that mindset, then head over to Berlin for Connecticut Cabaret Theatre's production of the classic comedy "Barefoot in the Park," which pairs newlyweds Paul and Corie Bratter (played by Chris Brooks and Meagan Bomar, pictured) and pits them against bad plumbing, endless flights of stairs, meddling family members and neighbors, bizarre food and drink, and other mild inconveniences. Hopefully Paul will loosen that tie and smell the roses a little by the time the show ends.
Barefoot in the Park

 07/25/12 Marcia Caine of Plymouth recently gave an interesting PowerPoint presentation title "Bald Eagles In Indiana" at Miller's Senior Living Community.  Caine has always been what she refers to as a "back yard birder" but became interested in eagles quite by surprise.
Several years ago as she was driving North on 31 just past Peru she saw out of the corner of her eye the biggest bird she'd ever seen. Could it be…she wondered? No! It couldn't be an eagle…Indiana doesn't have eagles. About 4 years later, around 2000 or 2001 she was driving in the same area and as she was looking around, she saw it – there was an eagle sitting on a fence post looking directly at her as she drove past. In 2010 her granddaughter Mae Christiansen was cross-country skiing near the Wabash River. She called home and told her, "Grandma! I saw a bald eagle today!!"
That did it for Caine. She began researching on the internet by simply typing in "eagles in Indiana" and she has been learning more and more about eagles ever since.
Caine and a friend decided to explore the area around Peru, Indiana where she discovered there are many eagles living. On her first trip to Peru near the Mississinewa area by 4:00 p.m. she had seen eight adult eagles and one juvenile.
On the next trip she explored the area known as Seven Pillars; which happens to be the best kept secret in Indiana, and by 1:00 p.m. had counted 18 adult eagles and one juvenile. By then she was hooked. She is and eagle "junky". She has also studied the history of Peru and the surrounding area and knows much of the Indian history of that area.
Caine's PowerPoint presentation included wonderful pictures of eagles and many interesting facts. Some of the interesting eagle facts are almost unbelievable unless you have seen them for yourself. An eagle can have a wing span of 72" – 90", they stand 28" – 38" tall and they have 7,000 feathers. An eagle can fly 10,000 feet above the ground at a rate of 20 – 60 mph. In the wild an eagle can live up to 30 years and as much as 50 years in captivity. Eagles are strong swimmers, and have very keen eyesight.
What amazed the audience the most seemed to be the facts about an eagle's nest. An eagle pair constructs their nest and then will return to it year after year adding on to it what is needed. The eagle pair always has the top of the nest for themselves but often other birds will nest lower in the nest while squirrels may live in the bottom portion. An eagle's nest can weigh as much as 4,000 pounds.
Anyone wishing to go eagle watching should be willing to go in the early morning, stay in your car as it acts as a good blind, take your binoculars and drive slowly with your hazard lights on. It is best to go when there isn't as much foliage on the trees such as September or February.
Caine is excited about her hobby of eagle watching and it oozes out of her as she shares her knowledge. Anyone wishing to have Caine share her presentation may call Marcia at 574-936-4794.

Squamous cell cancer involves cancerous changes to the cells of the middle portion of the epidermal skin layer. It is a malignant tumor, and is more aggressive than basal cell cancer, but still may be relatively slow-growing. It is more likely than basal cell cancer to spread (metastasize) to other locations, including internal organs. Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the tumor along with some surrounding tissue.

In a battle of regionally ranked powers, Wesleyan got the golden goal off the foot of Daniel Issroff '15 (#10, photo insert upper left) just 32 seconds into overtime to make a 1-0 victor of Wesleyan over Tufts in NESCAC action Tues., Sept. 17. It was the first goal of the year allowed by the Tufts' defense as they had gone 360 minutes through four games before being touched for a tally. Tufts entered the game ranked fourth in New England in the latest NSCAA poll while Wesleyan was eighth.
Tufts outshot Wesleyan, 11-9, in the contest but Cardinal goalie Emmett McConnell '15 (#30, main photo), making his second career start, stopped all five Jumbo shots on net, including a penalty shot with 15:45 left in the first half. Tufts' top scorer and returning first-team all-NESCAC player junior Max Hoppenot sent a low shot to McConnell's left and he made the diving stop, pushing the ball all the way to the far sideline. McConnell also made a key save in the final two minutes of regulation after a free kick by Tufts ended up with a feed to the middle of the box and a hard head ball at net from 10 yards out that McConnell snagged with both hands.
The game-winner in overtime came after Wesleyan moved the ball down the right side with help from Dylan Hoy '17 and Matt Lynch '15. A battle ensued for the ball just outside the box and Hoy pushed the ball central, where Issroff trapped and got the ball bouncing knee-high before unleashing a hard shot neck-high just inside the right post past the Tufts keeper. It was Issroff's first goal of the year.
Though Wesleyan has a commanding 44-18-7 edge in the series that dates back to 1935, the teams have split the last 12 meetings, with Tufts taking the 2012 tilt by a 2-1 count. Up next for the Cardinals is another NESCAC encounter at home, facing Bates Sat., Sept. 21.

Senator Boxer said, "America has a tremendous opportunity to transform our economy and create millions of clean energy jobs while reducing our dangerous dependence on oil. The release of the American Power Act today is an important milestone, and I commend Senators Kerry and Lieberman for their hard work and their commitment to this crucial effort. I believe California will be the hub of the new clean energy economy, and I appreciate the measures in the Kerry Lieberman bill that ensure that states like California can continue to lead the way in addressing carbon pollution. The need for action is urgent, and I look forward to working with all my colleagues to perfect this legislation and move it forward."

file / dir changes do not refresh clients folder
Ive been suffering from a problem that comes into the
default samba provided by debian etch 4.0 stable.
When there are file/dir modifications on shared
folders, the results do not appear on the windows
client inmediately.
My configuration is the most basic possible, straight
out of this howto
a small chat on irc reveals some details, I am irule
in there, and according to epsilon, I am not alone.
any thoughts, please help, thanks
<epsilon> I have samba 3.0.24 (debian stable) running,
but changes n filesystem (new dir or new filename) get
displayed in Explorer after I refresh, and not
<epsilon> what can be the reason? I already tried
'refresh = 1' in smb.conf and restarted, but no change
<||cw> epsilon: default is 60 seconds i think
<epsilon> ||cw: I have the almost same config (except
path and username) on another box, it's running fine
and changes get displayed immediatly...
<epsilon> can't locate why this one box is behaving
different with same binary...
<||cw> check logs? maybe a lib is missing?
irule> I have the same problem as epsilon, windows
clients can not get the forlders upgraded on the fly
when a file or directory is uploaded, deleted or
anything else, I can only press [F5] key on clients to
refresh folder view and my configuration is exactly
this one
<epsilon> irule: have you been able to fix this issue?
<irule> epsilon nope, and I have 50+ users braking my
back for it lol
<epsilon> irule: strange is, I have as basic conf as
yours on one box which has no problem with refresh...
<epsilon> everything same (OS, conf) expect
<irule> epsilon I know, Im asking the mailing list
tho, this samba copy is being installed on too many
servers to just ignore the issue
<epsilon> yea, I found few posts in mailinglists with
same issue, but none had any reply...

Utah, He will not run as a indy. How about you get with it or get lost. We will not give up until the convention is over.

IF we can get the majority, then we can all vote to unbound ourselves if there is a majority supporting that position!

you guys.....UTAH is a troll........someone on the outside trying to stir things up.....i know who it is.....Disreguard him!
People who want a third party/indy run are idiots. No party or independent will win the general election until many, many years to come, if ever. The Democrat and GOP have gotten too far into the lives of millions of Americans, and they won't just change for someone they don't know.
And don't start to spew bullshit that we can educate them. We had many, many months to try to educate people about Paul on the GOP ticket. Did it work? Barely at all.
Paul has a good chance of winning at the convention if we all do our part.

I don't think there's anyone here, or anyone in all of the GOP that understands the delegate/convention process. Let's just chill a bit with attacking other members and keep on the good fight. A lot can happen between now and September and now and November.
Let's move forward to the Constitution.. I am the new GOP. I stand with Rand.
Maybe you haven't noticed but Ron Paul is running as a Republican. If and when he chooses to run independent, then things will change. Since you have no ability to make Ron Paul run as an independent maybe it is you that should shut the fuck up and stop being an ASSHOLE.

The disruptive power of the Internet changed everything in media. But it did not cause everything.
The decline of newspapers, so long the editorial paymaster for photojournalism, is a trend dating back six decades.
Globally there are mixed signals concerning newspaper circulation, with some reporting growth in Asia offsetting falls in Europe and the US, while other sources reveal "printed newspaper readership is now declining in almost all major economies," including China and India.
In the US, UK and Canada, the data is clear and dramatic. The Communications Management Inc. study on Sixty Years of Daily Newspaper Circulation Trends shows newspaper circulation has been falling since 1950:
Because the defining characteristic of the new media economy is "the separation of information from its means of distribution" we cannot conclude that the decline in newspapers means the demise of journalism, visual or otherwise. The reverse is in fact true – journalism has many homes and benefits from the freedom of circulation and distribution that the Internet makes possible – the Pulitzer Prize winning InsideClimate News is a great example.
The problem is that the traditional homes of journalism have seen their already parlous financial health further undercut. However, we have to remember that most media organisations are in business, but not primarily the business of journalism. Legacy organisations (including great ones like The New York Times) spend no more than 20% of their budget on news content (in fact, in the US the industry average is 12.7%). The rest goes on the management and operation of the distribution model.
Media organisations are in the business of advertising, advertising has accounted for 80% of their revenue, and that revenue has subsidised the journalism that provides the content that draws the readers/views in to see the advertisements. Above all else it is the collapse in advertising revenue for print media that has been the single largest cause of journalism's financial crisis, as this graph from Mark Perry shows dramatically:
The disruption of the Internet has put added pressure on print advertising and online advertising has not replaced print losses.
There are some vital lessons flowing from this for the future of visual storytelling. We have to understand that:
This historical perspective challenges some important myths about what happened to media. None of this makes the present struggle for critical visual journalism easy. But it should re-set the terms of the debate about what is happening now, and re-frame some of the strategic options for the future.
This is the fourth in a series of posts highlighting the content of "Visual Storytelling in the Age of Post-Industrial Journalism", the World Press Photo/Fotografen Federatie study of the global emergence and development of multimedia in visual storytelling, especially photojournalism. The posts are searchable with the 'Multimedia Research Project' tag.
Some good points backed up by solid data. "journalism (reporting, stories, pictorial coverage) has never been a viable, stand-alone product" is something deep to think about. Most interesting blog you have, David!
[…] Good journalism has always been indirectly subsidised and never paid for directly, and this is complicated by the way the artificial scarcity prices of print advertising have collapsed since 2000; […]
