Plays Sunday, October 6th at 2pm
Hosted by Howie Movshovitz
Presented by Tattered Cover Bookstore and Colorado Public Radio

Based on a play by Arthur Schnitzler, La Ronde is ideal material for Ophuls, who had a sterling sense for both film construction and the circularities of human life – especially when love and sex are at issue. A soldier spends time with a prostitute, and then with another young lady, and she . . . . A sort of ringmaster presides over these events and he's played by Anton Walbrook, an actor of uncommon talent.
DIRECTOR: Max Ophuls
Screenwriter: Arthur Schnitzler, Jacques Natanson, Max OphülsPrincipal Cast: Anton Walbrook, Simone Signoret, Serge Reggiani

The ECB paid euros to receive dollars from the Fed, promising to reverse those transactions in eight days' time. It is the first usage of the revived, crisis-era, swap facility from the Fed. The idea is to help European banks to access dollar funding more easily through the ECB.
The Bank of England, Bank of Japan, Bank of Canada and Swiss National Bank did not use the facility this week. Read more

Maintaining Congressional Committees: Sources of Member Support
Legislative Studies Quarterly XXIII:197-218
Within the U.S. House of Representatives, standing committee recommendations are usually accepted by the full chamber. Although considerable attention has been paid to the extent that committee recommendations are ratified by the full chamber, relatively little research has addressed the sources of committee success. Committees usually win on the floor, but it is unclear why members of Congress support committee recommendations, or how we should account for variation in such support. One explanation for committee success is that members derive power from the committee system, and thus are reluctant to challenge committee recommendations. A second explanation is that committees themselves are partisan institutions, and thus members support committee recommendations out of partisan loyalty. A third explanation is that members support committees because committees recommend policies that are consistent with members' policy preferences. Unlike previous studies that have relied primarily on single-vote case studies, I use roll-call data from the 98th through the 100th Congresses (1983-88) to construct an aggregate measure of committee support and to test these three competing explanations of the sources of committee support. I conclude that with few exceptions, policy and partisan motivations have a stronger influence on member support for committee recommendations than do incentives stemming from members' institutional positions.

Africa and the World Cup
The home continent for all human beings, Africa, is no longer represented in the World Cup, as the quarter-final round begins. On June 30, Nigeria lost to France, and Algeria lost to Germany in the round of 16. This was the first time in the history of the competition that two African teams made it to the round of 16 together.
Egypt appeared for the first time during the second FIFA World Cup in 1934, but from 1938-1966 no African teams were included in the competition.
Cameroon was the first African team to reach the quarter-finals in 1990; since then, Senegal made it in 2002 and Ghana in 2010.
The European countries still competing in the 2014 FIFA World Cup—France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands —at one point had colonial dominion over parts of the continent. Those countries are still benefitting from that rule; every one of their World Cup teams features at least one player (often many, especially in the case of France) who has an African parent. Brazil, a country built on the backs of enslaved Africans, has many players of African descent on its team; in fact, Brazil is home to the second largest Black population on the globe (Nigeria is number one).

Gale-force winds blew part of the Kent Pavilion down at the Kent Showground in Detling.
But organisers have denied that the building, which is a marquee, was blown away during the severe weather on Christmas Eve.
The Kent County Agricultural Society said work has now been carried out to make the site safe.
In a statement the society said: "No events have been cancelled and it is 'business as usual' for the Kent Event centre."
Work is currently underway on a £1.5m new building to replace it, which when it is completed in April will have seating for 4,000 people.

For more than a decade, I have regularly received Imprimis, which reprints speeches that various people have given at Hillsdale College functions. For a long time, I always looked forward to receiving it, given that what was said was much more intelligent than what most speakers on college campuses utter these days.
The content of the speeches ranged from conservative to libertarian; liberty was the polestar, and a free economy and personal and political freedom were the means to a free society, according to the speakers. The bellicose side of conservatism — the promotion of war — generally was not part of the Imprimis message.
In the past few years, however, all that has changed. There is still the occasional sop given to free enterprise, but the main message has been consistent and troubling: the U.S. must expand and preserve its empire through the purification of war. Thus, Charles Krauthammer could claim in one speech that the USA stands as "a colossus" across the world with power and influence greater than Rome at its heights.
The latest one I received (October 2004, Vol. 33, No. 10) is dominated by the glorification of war, both in a speech by Victor Davis Hanson ("What Would Patton Say About the Present War?") and nine pictures of Hillsdale supporters on a college-sponsored trip to France and Germany to revisit sites of World War II battles. The message given both by Hanson and the photographs is this: World War II was a glorious triumph for the USA in its defeat over Nazi Germany, and if the political leaders of this country are willing to make the sacrifice, we can reach those same wonderful heights, if only we will listen to the wisdom of George Patton.
Patton, as we recall, was a very successful U.S. general in that conflict, winning acclaim first in North Africa as British and U.S. troops drove Rommel's Afrika Corps off that continent, then later in Sicily, where he lost his command after slapping two soldiers who were in field hospitals suffering from combat neurosis. After serving as a decoy to fool the Germans into believing that the main invasion of Europe would come at Calais (and not at Normandy), Patton's Third Army cut into German defenses and relentlessly advanced to the East, helping to end the war more quickly. He died in the autumn of 1945 in Germany after having suffered severe injuries in an automobile accident.
As many writers have noted, Patton was cut of a different piece of cloth than most of his comrades and certainly different than the politicians who tried to move the chessboard pieces of that war. He was brash, outspoken — and brilliant. His tongue and his temper proved his professional undoing, but no one doubts his abilities as a general and a soldier. His hatred of Bolshevism won him many supporters in this country, then and now. Hanson is one of them.
Hanson's point is simple: Patton had all of the answers to solving the difficulties both of the war and the accompanying peace, and if we can translate his thoughts then into present-day analysis, they have deep and abiding meaning for us now. War interpreted through the Patton lens, notes Hanson, offers a deeper, more purifying meaning than the simple destruction of people and property. Patton, he writes, "…hated war defined as a purely bureaucratic enterprise or a purely material and industrial challenge, inasmuch as neither can change the hearts of men that need to be changed." (Emphasis mine) Only war waged as Patton would do it can regenerate those wicked hearts; we did it in Germany, he says, and we can do it in Iraq.
How does an army accomplish this regenerative miracle? It is simple; one "crushes" the enemy. He says:
If an enemy is demoralized but not destroyed, he may well come back encouraged and with less respect, interpreting magnanimity as weakness or incompetence. Fallujah and Najaf are proof enough of the tragedy that can follow when a defeated enemy is not completely crushed.
What kept U.S. forces from crushing the Iraqis? It was not our military leaders, but rather the cowardly politicians who are not fully aware of the need for complete and absolute victory. Hanson states forcefully:
Patton was sometimes asked where he was going. Berlin was always his answer, along with quips about Hitler soon to be in chains. This was no mere braggadocio, but revealed strategic insight that there could be nothing less than unconditional surrender, the occupation of the enemy heartland, and the humiliation accruing from taking the German Fhrer — that only in that way might Nazism be discredited. We bristle at such Manichaeism in the present postmodern war, forgetting that we shall not be through with Islamic fascism until the governments of Iran and Syria cease their support, al-Qaedists are killed or in cuffs, and the greater Middle East autocracies are terrified of offering succor to terrorist offshoots. Anything less as our goal and we will be in a perpetual quagmire of reactive warfare.
So, there it is. As he alludes elsewhere, we must engage in total war. Yet, one might utter such words, but is one prepared to back them? Our parents and grandparents suffered many hardships and the Europeans and Asians suffered even more during World War II. To Hanson, it may be a season of glory, but to the people on the ground, it was endless destruction, death, and the kind of cynicism that enters the body politic and never truly leaves.
Writers on this page have argued many times about whether U.S. entry into World War II was avoidable. It is obvious that it was — we did not have to fight anyone, even after the debacle at Pearl Harbor, but one can understand the war fever that occurred after the attacks. Furthermore, after the U.S. Congress declared war on Japan, Germany, through previous agreement with Japan, declared war on the USA, and Congress, in turn, reciprocated. (This is the last time that Congress declared war on any country; all wars since then have been purely administrative affairs, much to our sorrow and the destruction of the Constitution.)
But whether or not the U.S. involvement in World War II was worth the cost — and I seriously doubt the benefits matched the eradication of so many millions of lives — Hanson wants more of the same today. If we are willing to pay the "price," he reasons, there is glory on the other end.
In the meantime, to accomplish such "worthy" goals, people must die. Homes and their human occupants must be blown to bits, and the process of civilization turned in upon itself. Young men must be transformed into killers, all for the glory of the state. On the home front, we must support the government at all costs, vote (as is our duty), and serve in the armed forces so the rest of us can be trained as killers as well.
Of course, in the end we will succeed in changing the Middle East Muslims into people just like us. At present, they are killers for the Axis of Evil. After our armies sweep through them and in the aftermath have magically turned these ancient lands into modern democracies, they can learn to kill for the good guys.
Somehow, I believe Patton might have figured out that this present war in Iraq is an absurdity, not because of bungling of directions from the White House and Pentagon, but rather because Islam is not Nazism and Middle Easterners are not Germans. And Patton, I would hope, would have recognized that men like Hanson are nothing more than cowards who glory in war, but only at an antiseptic difference, as though it were an imaginary battle of the forces of the cosmos and not the killing and maiming of innocent people before our very eyes.

From Proteopedia
Crystal structure of the GA module complexed with human serum albumin
Many bactericide species express surface proteins that interact with human serum albumin (HSA). Protein PAB from the anaerobic bacterium Finegoldia magna (formerly Peptostreptococcus magnus) represents one of these proteins. Protein PAB contains a domain of 53 amino acid residues known as the GA module. GA homologs are also found in protein G of group C and G streptococci. Here we report the crystal structure of HSA in complex with the GA module of protein PAB. The model of the complex was refined to a resolution of 2.7 A and reveals a novel binding epitope located in domain II of the albumin molecule. The GA module is composed of a left-handed three-helix bundle, and residues from the second helix and the loops surrounding it were found to be involved in HSA binding. Furthermore, the presence of HSA-bound fatty acids seems to influence HSA-GA complex formation. F. magna has a much more restricted host specificity compared with C and G streptococci, which is also reflected in the binding of different animal albumins by proteins PAB and G. The structure of the HSA-GA complex offers a molecular explanation to this unusually clear example of bacterial adaptation.

[ALBU_HUMAN] Defects in ALB are a cause of familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH) [MIM:103600]. FDH is a form of euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia that is due to increased affinity of ALB for T(4). It is the most common cause of inherited euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia in Caucasian population.[1][2][3][4]
[ALBU_HUMAN] Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc.[5] [PAB_PEPMA] Binds serum albumin.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A California woman has pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges after she and another woman were found in West Tennessee with more than 140 dogs and one cat in two vehicles.
The Commercial Appeal reports that Bonnie Sheehan pleaded guilty Thursday to 14 of 30 misdemeanor animal cruelty charges.
Sheehan, founder of an animal rescue group called Hearts for Hounds, and Pamela King-McCracken were arrested Jan. 17 in Fayette County. Authorities say a truck and a minivan were packed with stacks of crates with animals inside.
One dog died and 14 others were dehydrated or suffering from skin disease and lesions.
The women said they were driving from Long Beach, Calif., to Roanoke, Va.
Charges against King-McCracken were dismissed. Sheehan was not immediately sentenced.

|Korea's Top Winter Festivals of 2014 Hwacheon Sancheoneo (Mountain Trout) Festival
When Hwacheoncheon Stream freezes in winter, locals and visitors alike flock to the stream, carve out a hole in the ice, and begin ice fishing for sancheoneo (mountain trout). The trout are known to live in cold,
fresh waters of the stream, located in Hwacheon-gun, Gangwon-do Province. Visitors fishing in the stream can be seen patiently waiting, and then jumping with excitement as they pull their catches from the water. Some even jump into the icy waters of the pool built beside the stream for those interested in hand-fishing for sancheoneo.
Sancheoneo Fishing
Sancheoneo fishing is the central activity at the Hwacheon Sancheoneo Festival. There are three ways for visitors to fish at the festival: ice fishing using fishing rods on the frozen stream, lure fishing in the flowing waters using bait, and hand-fishing in a pool wearing a t-shirt and shorts.
Ice Fishing
Ice fishing is the most popular fishing method at the festival. Around 7,000 people participate in ice fishing during the weekdays, and more than 10,000 on weekends. Upon purchasing an admission ticket, visitors will also receive a fishing zone pass, a plastic bag for carrying sancheoneo, and a 5,000-won Agricultural Specialties coupon for shopping onsite.
* A How-To for Ice Fishing
Each person is limited to three sancheoneo.
☞ Admission: 12,000 won (Fishing zone pass, plastic bag, and 5,000-won coupon included)
Ice fishing tips!
Hand Fishing
Hand fishing takes place at the festival's round fishing pool. Participants change into special outfits (festival t-shirt and shorts), and perform a simple warm up exercise. Following the "go" signal, they jump into the pool, and try to catch sancheoneo using their bare hands within three minutes. Each participant is allowed to catch up to three sancheoneo. When the time is up, they walk out of the pool, and warm themselves up with a warm foot bath.
☞ Admission: 12,000 won (Fishing zone pass, t-shirt & shorts rental, plastic bag and 5,000-won coupon included)
** The number of sessions is subject to change without prior notice.
Lure Fishing
Lure fishing takes place away from the ice, near unfrozen flowing waters. Just as with ice fishing, the use of live bait is prohibited in lure fishing, and each person is limited to three sancheoneo. Participation requires onsite registration, which operates under a first-come, first-served basis (first 250 people).
☞ Admission: 12,000 won (Fishing zone pass, plastic bag, and 5,000 won coupon included)
Snow & Ice Rides
Snow and ice activities are other popular attractions at Hwacheon Sancheoneo Festival. The Ice Fun Park's Ice Sled Square has a large ice rink for sled rides. There are 1-person sleds, in addition to 3-person family sleds. The Eolgomi (mascot of the festival) Castle, situated in the center of the venue, showcases big snow sculptures, ice slides, and an ice tunnel that leads to a community culture hall. Bobsleighs are also available at the Bobsleigh Tower next to Eolgomi Castle.
Snow Fun Park is also equipped with a snow sledding field featuring a 40m slope and a variety of rides including snow racing. Participation in snow and ice activities usually requires an admission ticket, which can be purchased at ticket offices stationed throughout the festival venue, and activity gear rental fees when necessary. Upon purchasing the ticket, you will receive a 3,000 or 5,000 won "Love Hwacheon" gift certificate which you can use as cash in the Hwacheon area.

Permanent Options for Recovery-Centered Housing
Second Annual Report – Preliminary Findings
The Permanent Options for Recovery-Centered Housing (PORCH) program is a partnership between the Washington State Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery, Optum Health-Pierce County and Chelan-Douglas Regional Support Networks, Washington State Department of Commerce and local mental health and housing providers in Pierce, Chelan and Douglas counties. PORCH's goal is to increase housing stability and encourage independent living among adults with a history of mental illness and housing instability or homelessness. This is the second report in a series about the program and provides an update on those served in the second year, plus preliminary findings for those who remained enrolled in PORCH services 12 or more months. We find that since May 2011, PORCH has served 162 participants in two sites, and maintains an active caseload of about 100 participants (50 at each site). Two thirds of enrollees completed one or more years of services. For those enrolled at least 12 months, more than half had an improved recovery scale score, and housing stability and satisfaction improved substantially between the baseline and 12-month follow-up periods. A final report at the end of the five-year grant period will examine the impact of PORCH on participant housing, employment and arrest outcomes.

officially changed my due date!
OB apt went great! Finally officially bumped my due date up to 12/26 from 12/31 since my u/s last week still shows the same date as my 1st one at 9wks! With a projected csection date of 12/16! I'm so excited! We had talked about it but never officially done it (and some of you probably remember I was counting off that ahead u/s for awhile myself because I knew it was correct myself but then I didn't think they'd change it so I stopped so I'd stop confussing myself lol) and being that I'm at risk for preterm that week can mean a huge difference! Blood pressure is still down and 109 (see if you see a dr that listens to the fact you have a thyroid issue and doesn't tell you that you're just anxious and that's why your blood pressure is 175 then you can actually have normal blood pressure lol ) Tested thyroid levels again, Back in 2wks!

Re: officially changed my due date!
Congrats. I have 2 due dates lmp and peri say dec 7th and ob says dec 12 even though they shouldn't have moved it because it was only 5 days diffrence oh well. With my section supposedly the 7th but I don't think ill make it. So I'm just sitting back counting down now! For people who have high risk pregnancies they don't realize that even a day really matters.
Love is compromise. Its accepting that both of you are diffrent. And learning to love the uniqueness of each other. Its learning to love those things which drive you nuts, and accepting them and not trying to change someone to how you want them to be.

Re: officially changed my due date!
that was the deal with mine, it was only 5 days so technically they don't move it unless it's a week off but he said given my history we'd see as time went on. I have to have an ultrasound once a month so I've had plenty not showing any difference and being I'm already showing preterm issues again he decided it'd be best to just go ahead. In fact some things were meassuring more then that on the last u/s but you know they do the general over all size and not look at just some things but point being that not only have I not changed and still show ahead but that showed even more lol so I think we're good. It was just nerve racking me a little bit. I never cared before with the other kids as much.
maybe they moved it because the size was showing less on you? If I'm reading that right? Do you think you will make the c section? did you go earlier with the other kids?

Catching up with...Keith Sayers
Photos by: Steve Haughelstine
Everyone knows that Southern California, Nevada and Australia have a lot of talented FMX riders. Well..Keith Sayers is putting Montana on that map one demo at a time. What started as a hobby has turned into a full time job that includes at least twelve job titles on most days. DMX caught up with the FMX multi-tasker to see how 2011 had been treating him and whats on tap for the summer.
Keith Sayers meet Canada, Canada meet Keith Sayers! Tell the readers five things about you that have nothing to do with FMX.
I have glasses
I wear size 12 shoes
I live on a dead end street
I hate to mow the lawn
I like Coffee
Keith throwing down a picture perfect KOD while riding his compund in Montana...
What was the first bike you cut grab wholes on?
2003 Yamaha YZ 125
I've followed your career for awhile now and the one thing I noticed right away is that you are always busy and you seem to be very successful without riding competitions. Do you just prefer not riding in competitions?
My main priority with riding is having fun! I've been really lucky to get good exposure living up here in the North. I love to ride no pressure events with good friends. Plus there is still another level I need to get to like your Nate Adams and Levi Sherwoods and I'm not too sure I want to ever push it to there. I have my moments where I feel like the little engine that could- saying, "I--think--I--can, I--think--I—can". Then an hour later that's gone...ha-ha.
You're from Montana, not exactly what people would call a big FMX scene, but you are changing that one shovel full of dirt at a time. Tell us a little bit about your compound out there.
It all started back in 2004. I met Steve Miller from SCS Racing, he always had a dream to get a piece of property here in Montana and make a difference. Montana isn't exactly your destination moto spot cause we're so far removed from MX world (California), but every time riders come here and I take them riding trails, tracks or my course they either want to stay all summer or move here. It's in a little town called Racetrack Montana. The Cooper family had a motocross track out there, so I used to go practice there ever since I was 17 yrs old. But I recently bought 14 acres of land, and then in 2009 I started going out there to push dirt with no real set plan. In 2010 Steven Haughelstine (freeridemx.com) came up to stay with me. It was one of the best things for the place. Steve has a really creative eye for really cool lines and it pretty much turned into a FMX track. We just finished up a SX track to try and keep it fun.
How is this for a sandbox?
I heard your were trying to put a Pro/Am comp together for this summer there, any truth to this?
Not too sure I'm going to do anything this year. I'm the kind of person who will never get into anything without a solid plan. For now it's just my personal practice spot. Things can always change.
Where can people stay informed about that?
If I end up doing anything I will be putting it up on my website- www.keithsayers.com
Back to you, on most demo days you're the: rider, promoter, set up guy and take down crew. Describe a demo day put on by Keith Sayers.
Most events are pretty basic with my mobiles. Now on the other hand, events like Evel Knievel Days are not even close to basic or easy. I have my solid crew of guys. They have a good understanding that it's not just a one man show. I put in a lot of work doing emails, phone calls, contracts, and insurance long before the event starts. Plus when the event does start I manage the riders, promoters and ride too. I like riders that are willing to help out and not just show up, ride, get a check then peace out. Believe me, there is days that it gets frustrating.
Keith Sayers FMX demos are always on point!
Looking beyond 2011, where would you like to take your FMX career?
Healthy!!! For me it hasn't been how gnarly I can get, but how long can I last doing this. Not too many people can say they get to do what they love for a job! Fortunately I'm one of those people.
Last one...what's your schedule looking like for this coming summer?
Once June comes...I'm gone every weekend till late September. I'll almost become a Canadian resident by the end of summer, ha-ha.

Vodafone Moves on Possible Verizon Deal: Tech Premarket
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --
Vodafone (VOD) shares were higher by 3.8% to $30.72 in premarket trading Thursday after a Reuters report said Verizon (VZ) hired advisers in advance of a potential $100 billion cash and stock bid to acquire the 45% of Verizon Wireless it doesn't already own.
Reuters noted a bid has not been made as of yet, but recent talk from both Verizon and Vodafone has stoked investors' appetites on a deal being done as soon as possible.
On Verizon's most recent earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Fran Shammo said he thought a deal could be done in a tax-efficient matter, which has been one of the sticking points of a potential deal.
Equinix (AAPL) shares tumbled 3.44% in premarket trading to $208.94 after the data center company reported first-quarter earnings that missed estimates and guided revenue below expectations. For the first quarter, Equinix reported earnings of 71 cents a share on $519.5 million in revenue. Analysts were expecting earnings of 78 cents a share on $521.7 million in sales. "Equinix delivered solid financial results in the first quarter, and we are well positioned for the remainder of 2013," said President and CEO Steve Smith in a prepared release. "We are executing with discipline and focus to capture the demand driven by strong secular trends in video, cloud, mobility and IP traffic. This quarter we saw record bookings in Cloud as service providers expand their services to meet the changing needs of enterprises who are deploying hybrid cloud architectures across Platform Equinix." Equinix said second-quarter revenue would be between $530 million and $534 million. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters are expecting $541.7 million in sales.
Zynga (ZNGA) shares plunged 8.93% to $3.05 in premarket trading Thursday after the social gaming company said second-quarter earnings would be sharply lower than forecast. The San Francisco-based Zynga expects to lose between 3 and 4 cents a share in its second quarter, with revenue ranging between $225 million and $235 million. Analysts were expecting a loss of 1 cent a share on sales of $232.05 million. Zynga managed to beat expectations for its first quarter, posting a profit of 1 cent a share on $230 million in revenue. Analysts were expecting a loss of 3 cents a share on $210 million in sales.

Fake is a seven-volume Boys' Love manga by Sanami Matoh. The story focuses in a romance between Randy "Ryo" Maclean and Dee Laytner, two New York City detectives from the fictitious 27th precinct. An anime version of the fifth act from the second manga is also available, in the form of an OVA. Randy "Ryo" Maclean, a half-Japanese cop, is new to the 27th Precinct, and he is partnered with Dee Laytner, an American with an overconfident attitude. The seven-volume manga details their adventures as police in a violent city and delves into each one's past, as well as developing their slowly building relationship. The final volume contains yaoi, and the first six volumes are mostly of a less intense, shōnen-ai nature. Other noteworthy characters are Bikky and Carol, two kids who have lost their families and have been taken in by Ryo, and subsequently by Dee. A few of the acts focus on the very sweet young love that develops between those two. JJ and Drake are other detectives from the 27th, and JJ, completely obsessed with Dee, becomes quite jealous of Ryo, and that of course makes for some interesting moments throughout the manga, although JJ moves his attentions to Drake towards the end of the series. Berkeley Rose has a similar fancy for Ryo. He isn't shy about it either, going so far as to steal a kiss whenever possible, much to the irritation of both Dee and Ryo.
The Roycroft Dictionary
An event that occurs every four years in the United States; hence, by extension, anything popular.
The Foolish Dictionary, by Gideon Wurdz
A false report. FAKIR A false reporter.

Do you feel stuck, depressed or defeated? I was talking to a friend today and I saw my own reflection from several years ago. That's before I shifted my energy from dreading the day and thinking worst case scenario to living each day to the fullest. I attribute so many things to this transformation. It's been a long road for me to get to the place I'm at now. Countless hours of self reflection through journaling and speaking with spiritual gurus (they're like therapists, but on a deeper level), unmasking of my own flaws and understanding that I'm responsible for toxic relationships in my life.
I started Voices To Share as a way of sharing inspirational stories and ideas for healthy living. I know, it's so broad... What's healthy living you might ask? Well in my eyes healthy living means nourishing the mind body connection. There are studies proving that diet affects your health which is why I like sharing healthy recipes... Well now they're finally studying the importance of meditation and relaxation. In fact, when I was getting trained at the Mayo Clinic to become a WomenHeart Champion for heart disease, they had an entire section of the program dedicated to the mind heart connection.
My friend asked how I began this shift in thinking. First, I became grateful. It's hard to do sometimes when you're sick, maybe you're in the process of an ugly divorced, lost all your money and the list goes on. I don't care how crappy your life is, there must be something that makes you happy. Start with gratitude. Acknowledge the good things in your life. Then start reflecting on how you got into this mess and meditate on the shift. There are tons of books out there, so check out my amazon.com reading list.
I also wanted to tell you about a program that was gifted to me by celebrity intuition coach Joanna Garzilli. I've never had a session with Joanna, but I was impressed by her program called Big Miracle Breakthrough. There's either a 30 day or a 90 day program. She has daily journaling exercises and meditations to help you get out of a rut! Joanna's great because she breaks it down for you, and makes it easy to make the shift.

In task manager of hardware node we can see there is 1 process there which is related to that CTID, but we cannot kill it by "End Process", at this moment, even we login to hardware node and click to restart it, the server keeps stopping, we guess it is because that container stuck in stopping state so that the VZ service cannot stop then the server cannot stop.

Items of Self-Promotion
1. Here's something I just wrote for Paste online that's not likely to be in the running for DaCapo's Best Music Writing of 2007.
2. I'll be MC'ing Gonerfest 4 – Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. More info here. One of the dates is shaping up to be "character night" – see post from 9/20. No, I'm not dressing up as Steve Malkmus.
3. For 20 seconds of grocery store reading, check out my two reviews in the October issue of Spin Magazine. The Shocking Pinks album is wonderful (it's on DFA) and could pose as a lost Flying Nun recording circa-1989. Have I mentioned how hard it is to write a 90-word review?
Bruce Dern Scene-Chewing Hall of Greatness
1. The Laughing Policeman (1973) – A weird little movie. There's possibly two people reading right now that have seen it. Dern plays Matthau's short-fuse, talk-the-paint-from-the-walls partner. Contains what is easily the best line of Dern's career: (to an overweight cop) "I see that you've been putting in some overtime with the 'ol knife and fork."
2. The Driver (1978) – Nothing beats Dern as an obsessed cop, and he played a lot of them. If you've yet to see a good Walter Hill film, here's a great place to start. Good example of the tail end of great American 70's cinema. You can have your French New-Wave (granted, probably the biggest influence on American 70's cinema), your post-1990 indie bullshit, and whatever quasi-intellectual concerns that you don't understand but claim to. In the 70's, with a year or two of before-and-after wiggle room, American directors, writers, and cinematographers created the greatest genre/period of film EVER. Disagree? Welcome to WRONG MOUNTAIN, start climbing! Wow, that was a stupid closing line.
3. The King of Marvin Gardens (1972) – Dern is the only redeeming quality of this misguided (and unofficial) Five Easy Pieces sequel.
4. Silent Running (1972) – My favorite Rated-G movie. Not sure it's ever a good idea to confine a mouthy character actor alone in a space station.
5. Coming Home (1978) – Next time I get tempted to watch this Vietnam vet emotional holocaust, I'll stick my head in the oven instead.
6. Black Sunday (1978) – The blimp-over-the-stadium scene still kills. As paranoia films go, this has a 50% hit-rate.
7. "Big Love" (an HBO original series, coz!!) – I once said that a show with Harry Dean Stanton, Bill Paxton, and Bruce Dern must be VERY bad to keep me away. That definitive comment has since met with some trademark Earles apathy. I am not passionate about it. That last sentence serves to state that there ARE television shows that pull the passion right out of my stomach, leaving the butterflies to deal with the bleeding peptic ulcer (no brown/tree liquor, no gin, no rum, no tequila…..conversely, vodka, beer, wine, and some liqueurs make the cut). Well, there's one, and it's called "The Wire." Communicating any degree of distaste for "The Wire" gets one a coupon for a free exit from my life. There are those that do, and those that don't. What all of this means is….I've watched and enjoyed 6 or 7 episodes of "Big Love." It lacks, or I lack, that very special something.
8. Thumb Tripping (1972) – Bad Movie + Dern = Watch It!! (Remember this equation)
What if the cutout bin of 2010 was a mid-sized city?
Slate ran this piece about Portland being a destination for indie rockers. The title is a slightly misleading. A city being described as an "indie rock mecca" implies that it is choked with fans and bands alike, when this little exercise focuses on established (term used relative to the genre discussed) names…..I hope you have some padding back there…..living next to normal people in a mid-sized city!!! Silly me, I thought that Stephen Malkmus lived in a home made entirely of tropical aquariums, fanned with palm leaves and fed grapes by that redhaired girl that used to be in Verbena. Guess what? You know what's coming! I haven't even read the piece.
I will do so now.
I'm back, and I was wrong about Malkmus' home. It's just huge. No aquariums.
This passage should irritate the guys in Pond.
If there's any alluring indie mystique to Portland, it's most likely due to the late Elliott Smith, who attended high school on the west side of town and recorded his most-loved work here. (Mercer even owns Smith's old house.) Before Smith, Portland's primary musical contribution to the universe was the Kingsmen's "Louie Louie.""
There's also a chance that it may irritate those tired of hearing about the late Elliot Smith and his marginal-at-best songwriting talents. Yes, it was a depraved tragedy that continues on open-ended (I can envision the first Mumblecore conspiracy/crime film being based on his death).
And let's peruse this passage:
…it's probably just proof that musicians like him (Malkmus) moved to Portland for the same reason as the rest of us: It's easy to live here. In the words of a friend of mine who used to be the music editor at the local alt-weekly, Portland is like a resort community for indie rockers who spend half the year working themselves ragged on tour. You can venture into public dressed like a convicted sex offender or a homeless person, and no one looks at you askew. It's lush and green. Housing is affordable, especially compared with Seattle or San Francisco. The people are nice. The food is good. Creativity is the highest law. For young, hip Portlanders, financial success is a barista job that subsidizes your Romanian-space-folk band or your collages of cartoon unicorns.
Read the last two sentences and try not to destroy your laptop with a vomit tsunami.
I imagine that it IS easy to live in a community that's largely devoid of racial variety (they usually make up for this by screaming RACISM!!! at the rest of the country…over such things as the proven fact that 95% of the politicians nabbed in the Tennessee Waltz sting are black). And the people that perpetually walk in from of my moving vehicle, on a daily basis? They are rarely white. These are proven facts. Yet to some, they sound like the rantings of a Grand Wizard of the KKK.
That's the PCeeeefic Northwest for you.
Lastly, I do not bemoan the sudden Mayor Giuliani-style disappearance of the crustie punks from Memphis' streets (back around 2001). I did hear rumors of an underground Memphis-to-Portland railroad. The boarding fee was a Disrupt patch and a half a forty.
That music writer that you hate….
Another music writer recently expressed a fear that he might be becoming "that guy that we used to hate." Specifically, it's the music writer that can only pull passion, or maybe just general interest, out of old music. We used to make fun of "that guy." We convinced ourselves that no matter what the future year might be, it would yield amazing new sounds for us to go nutz over.
"l'll never end up like that. What an old, jaded asshole."
Well, guess what happened?
These albums came out this year. They did it for me. AND….I'm leaving some out (not intentionally). AND….we've got 3.5 months to go.
Thurston Moore Trees Outside the Academy (Ecstatic Peace) - I can't review this because I've already done so for Vice and The Onion (look for it next week). Great album.
Shocking Pinks s/t (DFA) – Review forthcoming in October issue of Spin. That and, I don't feel like it.
Liars s/t (Mute) – It's no "lie" that this is a fine album!!
Pelican City of Echoes (Hydrahead) – Breaks absolutely no new ground, but the damn thing is catchy!! Well, catchy for something that gives off very little emotion.
Jesu Conqueror (Hydrahead) – J.K.B lookin' healthy for his age!! Granted, he did form Napalm Death at age 4.
Pinback I'm a Humorless Dick (Touch and Go) - First three songs? Unbelievably catchy. I'd like to attribute them to the guy from Three Mile Pilot.
Shellac (the new one) (Touch and Go) – Dunno the title. You know the Earles drill re: looking things up! SOMETIMES I DON'T FEEL IT!!! I've only heard a collective four minutes of this album. Clearly I'm qualified!! I felt some rocking within the rigid confines of a Shellac record, where you get what's expected. It shines with amazing cover art and packaging that exceeds the combined cost of every rainbow bumper-stickered Ford Ranger in the parking lot of a Lisa Lampanelli show. HeyOhhhh!!!!
RELAPSE TRIPLE-SHOT COMBO #5: Brand new albums by Coliseum, Baroness, and High on Fire – Coliseum could probably kick my ass. In the street…not with their music. I like the idea of Baroness. I like that Savannah, GA is on the map. Oh, if I just felt the same about this guy's vocals….. High on Fire? The only band with a name this bad that I've listened to repeatedly…..

Geography & Travel
25 Places You Wish You Could Go Visit But Can't
Posted by David Pegg on October 15, 2013
While most people are happy just taking the occasional trip to the beach, there are those of us that long for something more…an adventure. And although most places on Earth are accessible to the determined traveler, some places are just better off left alone. From top secret government facilities to villages destroyed by radiation, these are 25 places you wish you could go visit but can't.
Lascaux Caves in Southwest France
These 20,000 year old cave paintings were being damaged by exhaled CO2 from tourists so the French Government shut them down.
North Sentinel Island, Andaman Islands
Inhabited by between 50 and 400 Sentilese who tend to rain arrows down on the heads of foreign amabassadors trying to make contact, they have now been protected by the Indian Government.
Ise Grand Shrine, Japan
In existence since 4BC only priests and priestesses of the royal family are allowed in. Fun fact – the shrine is demolished and rebuilt every 20 years in keeping with the Shinto idea of death and rebirth.
Club 33, Disneyland
If you can pay a $25,000 initiation fee and $10,000 annually for membership then you can join Club 33, one of the world's most exclusive and secretive dinner clubs found in the middle of the happiest place on Earth.
Metro 2, Under Moscow
Supposedly built by Stalin for the Russian Secret Service and top government officials, this rumored secret subway has never been proven to exist although people who worked on it have been interviewed.
Mount Weather, Virginia
Basically the real version of the "doomsday" bunker where you always see the President go in the movies, it is 48 miles outside of Washington DC in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Not much has been said of the place apart from a short TIME magazine interview of one of its retired engineers.
Vatican Secret Archives, Italy
Although conspiracy theorists tell of advanced vaults this is far from the truth. The archives rely on insanely old fashioned technology. And they're not even truly secret. Although you can't enter you can view any document that is older than 75 years. Today it is said that they have more than 50 miles of shelving.
White's Gentleman Club, England
No, it's not racist. At least not to our knowledge. It's the most exclusive club in England and it only caters to royalty and other men in powerful posititions.
Room 39, North Korea
Found in the capital city of Pyongyang, this secretive government facility is said to be the heart of numerous illegal operations including counterfeiting and international insurance fraud.
RAF Menwith Hill, England
Run by the Royal Air Force in conjunction with the NSA, this place is said to be the most powerful and extensive monitoring station in the world.
Coca Cola recipe vault, Georgia
There have always been rumors about Coca Cola's secret recipe and in 2011 it was supposedly retrieved from its vault at SunTrust Bank and transferred a few minutes down the street to the new World of Coca Cola exhibit. Visitors can now see the vault complete with all of its security. Many people, however, believe that Coca Cola is just monetizing the myth.
Area 51, Nevada
No list like this would be complete without Area 51.
Mezhgorye, Russia
This town in Russia is closed by the government and is believed to house employees working on Mount Yamantaw, the location of what NATO suspects to be a large nuclear facility.
Snake Island, Brazil
Just off the coast of Brazil this snake infested island lives up to its name and is off limits to visitors courtesy of the Brazilian Navy. Supposedly it is home to over 5,000 highly venomous snakes.
Surtsey, Iceland
Among the planet's youngest places, this North Atlantic island emerged from the waves following an extended volcanic eruption in the 1960's. It is arguably the world's most pristine natural habitat and only a few scientists have ever been allowed to venture there.

MARCY, N.Y. (WKTV) - The Utica College softball team capped off its incredible regular season as it swept cross-town opponent SUNYIT by scores of 7-2 and 10-0 Wednesday afternoon.
The Pioneers rebounded from a 1-0 deficit early in the game by scoring seven straight runs to grab the victory. Sophomore Christy Traglia (Mohawk, NY/Mohawk) was a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs scored, while Meghan Matan (Latham, NY/Shaker), Mallory Ingalls (Oriskany, NY/Oriskany), and Alysa Russell (Mechanicville, NY/Mechanicville) were each 2-for-4 in game one to lead the team.
Sophomore Courtney Fitzgerald (Albany, NY/Colonie Central) blasted a two-run home run in the fifth inning to pick up her 10th homer of the year, tying the school record for home runs in a single season. Chelsea Monroe (Watertown, NY/General Brown) and Cassie Smith (Delmar, NY/Bethlehem Central) also added one hit each and freshman Erica Colucci (Glenville, NY/Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake) struck out three and allowed just one earned run through six innings of work to move to 5-1 on the season.
Ten different players recorded at least one hit as the Pioneers cruised to an 10-0 victory in game two. Meghan Matan (Latham, NY/Shaker), Courtney Fitzgerald (Albany, NY/Colonie Central), and Taylor Ellis (Willet, NY/Greene) were each 2-for-3, while Matan racked up four runs scored and three RBI.
Utica also had hits from Chelsea Monroe (Watertown, NY/General Brown), Bridgette Plummer (Saratoga Springs, NY/Schuylerville), Mallory Ingalls (Oriskany, NY/Oriskany), Alysa Russell (Mechanicville, NY/Mechanicville) (two), Cassie Smith (Delmar, NY/Bethlehem Central), Alex Deyo (Schenectady, NY/Colonie Central), and Christy Traglia (Mohawk, NY/Mohawk). Briona Enny (Queensbury, NY/Queensbury) had another solid day pitching for UC as she allowed just three hits for her second straight shutout as she moves to 9-1 on the season.
The Pioneers wrap up regular season play with one of their best records in program history (30-10). UC will return to action Friday as it hosts the Empire 8 Conference Tournament. Utica will kick off tournament play as it faces Alfred at 12 p.m.
SUNYIT fell to 21-13 and will travel to Penn State Berks for the NEAC Tournament this weekend.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer affecting Americans. In fact, about 20 percent of us will develop it at some point in our lives. Because skin cancer usually results from lifestyle choices, nearly all cases are avoidable.
Those choices may have been made five, 10 or even 20 years ago, so it's important to protect your skin from the sun and UV rays now, avoid unnecessary exposure to UV radiation and have regular skin cancer screenings.
During May, national Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month, King's Daughters Medical Center and its physicians are offering free skin cancer screening events as follows:

cents is approximately 6.1 percent and for pathological and problem gamblers combined, about 20 percent. Taken at face value, these figures indicate considerably higher levels of pathological and problem gambling among adolescents than adults. And although the evidence consistently shows higher rates among adolescents, it is difficult to determine how much higher those rates are. Differences between survey instruments, in criteria for classification as a pathological or problem gambler, and in the significance of certain symptoms (e.g., incurring debt) complicate any attempt to directly compare adolescent and adult prevalence rates.
Nonetheless, the best available evidence indicates that pathological and problem gambling among adolescents is a significant problem. The proportions of adolescents classified as pathological and problem gamblers in recent studies examining this issue are roughly comparable to the proportions who use alcohol once a month or more or who use illicit drugs.
Although we have characterized the findings of the research currently available, it is important to emphasize how inadequate that research base is for drawing confident conclusions about the prevalence of pathological and problem gambling in the U.S. population or in important subpopulations. Only three national prevalence surveys have been conducted since 1977, and each estimated in a way quite different from ways used to operationalize and measure the prevalence of pathological (and problem) gambling in the past 10 years. All consideration of more recent periods must therefore rely on a modest number of state-level surveys. Moreover, the states covered in those surveys do not constitute a representative sample of U.S. states or even a reasonable purposive sample. Further limitations apply to the assessment of trends in pathological and problem gambling during the recent decades of great expansion in the availability of legal gambling opportunities. Prevalence surveys have been conducted at more than one time in only a handful of states, and in some of those cases the same instrument and sampling procedures were not used on both occasions.
Further complications are associated with the relatively unstandardized constructs, operational definitions, screening instruments, and criteria that have been used in research on patho-

Che Jawias, Nur Izzati and Ismail, Fudziah and Suleiman, Mohamed and Jaafar, Azmi (2010) Fourth order four-stage diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta method for linear ordinary differential equations. Malaysian Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 4 (1). pp. 95-105. ISSN 1823-8343
Full text not available from this repository.
A new fourth order four-stage diagonally Implicit Runge-Kutta (DIRK) method which is specially designed for the integration of Linear Ordinary Differential Equations (LODEs) is constructed. In the derivation, Butcher's error equations are used but one of the error equations can be eliminated due to the property of the LODE itself. The stability aspect of the method is investigated and it is found to have a bigger region of stability compared to explicit Runge-Kutta (ERK) method of the same type (designed for the integration of LODE). A set of test problems are used to validate the method and numerical results show that the method produced smaller global error compared to ERK method.

Twizzles's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Twizzles is a sweet, gentle and outgoing 2 year old kitty boy. He loves to have his chin scratched and to be petted all the time. He is a loving lap cat who will curl up in your lap whether you are working at the computer or sitting on the sofa. He likes to sleep with his people and even chirps a lecture at his foster mom if she stays up past her bedtime! He also hates being ignored and will stand on a desk and "talk" to you until you pet him. He is quite a talker, with a trilling quiet chirp that is very charming.
Twizzles likes being picked up for short periods but not being held. He gets along very well with and is polite to the other cats in the household. His favorite toys are the kind he can bat around, especially squeaky toy mice. We do not know how he would react to dogs, but he is skittish about sudden movement and loud noises so would do best in a quieter environment. He really needs to be with someone who will appreciate his loving nature and give him plenty of pets. He would be an ideal therapy cat or good for someone who is lonely and needs a new furry best friend.
Twizzles is neutered, tested negative for FIV & feline leukemia and is up to date on vaccinations. He came to 4Paws from a shelter after he was brought in as a stray.
He is fine living with other cats and should be ok in homes with children. We are not sure how he will be with dogs.
Twizzles is on a restrictive diet that he needs to continue on in his adoptive home. He must eat only canned poultry based foods. He is sensitive to fish & grains.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Twizzles, a Merrifield Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Merrifield, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Merrifield.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Merrifield already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Merrifield breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Merrifield paves the way for another one to be saved.
