With limited federal aid, there is a widening gap between the cost of college and a student's ability to afford it. If your struggling for extra cash to pay for school, consider a Private Student Loan. A private student loan fills that gap by providing the difference between school expenses and Federal financial aid such as the Stafford Loan.

Does anyone know of projectors other than the Hitachi projectors that have free RS232 control software available?
Our school is finally beginning to look into installing classroom projectors, and the staff wants to control the projector from their computer (clicking an icon to select VGA or Video 1 input, making volume control changes, etc)
I am just wondering if there are any other options out there. Remote controls always got lost/stolen/broken here, so that is not a good option.

Republican Presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney declares victory in the Wisconsin presidential primary, Tuesday, April 3, 2012, at the Grain Exchange in Milwaukee. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- It's over, and Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee for president.
That's the growing consensus among Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the party's national convention this summer and can support any candidate they choose.
Even RNC members who support other candidates say the math doesn't add up for anyone but the former Massachusetts governor.
Romney's chief rival, Rick Santorum, is vowing to stay in the race, hoping a win in his home state's primary will give new life to his campaign. But Santorum is far behind Romney in the race for delegates and RNC members are taking notice.
A new Associated Press poll of RNC delegates shows Romney with 35 endorsements, Newt Gingrich with four, Santorum with two and Ron Paul with one.

Immense toxic anger towards cheating husband
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 02-08-2014 - 5:17pm
So I'm really not sure where else to turn... And thought I would post here..
i discovered my husband was cheating... A second time.. And after 27 years of marriage...
The last time (that I'm sure of) was over 15 yrs ago... We didn't have children then, So it was esay to leave and we didn't have to communicate.. But, after a year on my own.. He wouldn't go away so I forgave him and moved back in and we resumed our life together.. A year later.. We had our son...
I was already unhappy when this latest affair was discovered... He was going out every weekend and saying he was playing poker with the boys.. A Sudden and NEW fascination... And this affair was discovered by me on Facebook of all places
IDIOT didn't even know enough to sign out of his account before our son needed to use it for a school project.. And called me into the room because this 'girl' keeps wanting to talk with dad.. Well after reading through hundreds of personal messages.. I was devastated.. Angry and just over it all!
On top of it.. He tried lying about it all until I revealed I had read his own flippin words !!!!
So this time... I Ended it... Bought my own home... Moved out and we share our son...
During this time I also lost my dearest gf of 30 years who died from cancer after a 3 year battle... I miss her desperately !!! Been close since teenagers
All of this happened during Oct of 2013...
i thought I was fine... Over it all.. Good riddance an all that... Until I was informed that he's taking yet a NEW women .. Not the one he cheated on me with.. On a valentines week long vacation.....
All this... In a few months
i shouldn't be shocked... The last time when I moved out he slept with yet another strange girl at a party.. 6 DAYS
YES DAYS after I was gone... It's a major kick in the gut of... You obviously meant nothing to me...
now suddently I'm CONSUMED with anger and true hatred and not sure how to get though this IN A HEALTHY WAY
I KNOW it's toxic to me.. And how stupid to let him CONTINUE TO HURT AND VICTIMIZE ME... So here I am
venting and wondering around lost in an angry haze...
I think it's just now all hitting me...her death.. His betrayal.... I didn't have time to deal with it before as I was searching for a home.. Buying it.. Remodeling etc..
Any advice from past experience would be greatly appreciated and thanks for reading/listening to me rant :)
|Sat, 02-08-2014 - 7:19pm
it would help to let it go to Karma
it is PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder it will hit when you lest expect
I have been affected since 06 and just recently had severe effects of PTSD
|Sat, 02-08-2014 - 7:27pm
I'm so sorry for all you've gone through and for the loss of your friend. I know how hard it is as my xH was cheating while my Daddy and my aunt that I was very close to were both dying of cancer. Like you, I also found out about my xH's affair through my child. That alone is enough to piss a mother off; that their idiot, cheating H had so little regard for their children and wound up exposing them to the fact of their affair. Bless your heart, you had your plate full with so much to process in such a short time.
I applaud you for saying enough is enough and divorcing him. You deserved better than this and you knew it. I can totally relate to the toxic anger you're feeling. Its just not fair that they get to go on with their lives, seemingly having the time of their lives while we gave so much to them and the marriage. You forgave him before when he had betrayed you and he repaid your love and forgiveness with more betrayal. Been there, done that, too.
What you have to realize is that THIS is the kind of person he is. He's a man with no integrity, no morals, no empathy and just an over all rotten human being. Actions speak louder than words and his actions are screaming that he's a POS. You can't change him or how he acts. No one is going to be able to change him or make him be a decent person except him. Obviously, he has no intention of changing. But I guarantee you, he will reap what he has sown sooner or later. The Bible makes that very plain~you will reap what you sow.You can't treat other people like he has and get away with it. Whether you are a Christian or not(as I am),its a universal truth~you plant wheat and you'll get wheat, you plant your life with hateful, immoral acts and you will receive the same.
People are going to tell you "Don't worry about what he's doing." Its easy for others to say that when they aren't in your shoes knowing all you've done for him and then he treats you like you and your marriage mean nothing. The thing to remember is that NOTHING means anything to him~and that applies to any "relationship" he's in now. You see how fast the OW fell by the wayside with him and others will find themselves in the same situation with him.
You are correct when you say you shouldn't be surprised. He cheated on you years ago, then again and now he's moving from woman to woman. My XH did the exact same thing. Yours is still in the early stages where he's so full of himself, enjoying his newfound freedom and how 'studly' he THINKS he is. Trust me, that is going to wane fast. The only people who will uphold him in the lifestyle he has chosen are those who have done the same thing. Misery loves company. You can't change him or make him be remorseful for the pain he's caused you and your son.
Since all this only happened a few months ago, I'd advise you to cut yourself some slack. Its going to take time for it all to sink in. You were married to him for a long time (as I was to my xH) and takes time to get past it all. Experts, counselors and pastors all say that to move on you have to forgive the person that hurt you~make the decision to forgive them. Don't go on feeling because no one who's been hurt this badly by someone FEELS like forgiving. Just make a conscious choice to do it and move on with your life. Its easier said than done, I know! Forgiving isn't excusing his poor behavior; btw.
Another thing that will help is not to dwell on what he's done/is doing. Don't look for info on him on and tell anyone who says "Guess what I heard about your XH...." to stop right there. You don't want or need to know the details of his life. He's a serial cheater and not someone you care to associate with anymore so let people know that right away. Not only is this a 'what you dont know won't hurt you' kind of thing you don't want to waste one more minute of your life with anything involving him. Every minute that you think about anything to do with him is a minute you can't get back. Don't waste it on a POS like him!
|Sat, 02-08-2014 - 9:08pm
I also agree with Goddess_WhoAmI that its PTSD. Its been 5 years since I found out about my xH's affair and 4 years since the divorce was final (it took a year for the D to be finalized because he would agree to a settlement and then reneg). And I still have moments where it will hit me out of the blue and I want to beat him within an inch of his life. But these moments are few and far between now....I mean VERY few and far between. Usually, it only hits me if he's done or said something stupid to one of my DD's. Then UBERMAMA from Hell sets in. NOBODY messes with my kids, especially not my XH who caused them such pain by his actions. But his affair and what/who he's doing now doesn't bother me in the least.
I took away his power to hurt me long ago. He has no effect on me whatsoever. He recently had the audacity to call me a bad mother....he hasn't seen or wanted to see our daughters in over a year, he gladly gave away all rights to our daughters (one of whom is disabled and requires 24/7 care), caused them to have to move from the only home they'd ever known, abused one of them physically when he did have visitation during the divorce process, refuses to give them his address, etc, etc, etc.....but he calls ME a bad mother? He chooses not to have anything to do with them and that is fine by me! (Legally, he has no right now to see them anyway.) I laughed at him and told him that he, of all people, calling me a bad mother meant absolutely nothing to me, had NO effect in the least.
His insults, threats, the life he leads, who he's with...none of it means a thing to me. On the rare occasion I have any contact with him and he starts this BS, I laugh at him and refuse to play his little mind games. It drives him crazy that he has no control over anything anymore. I'm completely indifferent to him. I won't let the opinions or life of a stranger affect me, so my stance is why on earth would I let him? I see him for what he is now and its not somebody worth my time.

The first item is to get rid of your anger. It will eat you up. You will destroy yourself. There is no value in anger. let it go. For many this week can be a trigger. Learn what your triggers are if there is any. I strongly suggest a therapist if you find that it is difficult to let go. There are people who years after are still angry and it eats them from the inside.
Keeping the anger is a choice. You can choose to let it go so it has no control over you. One can choose. You do have the power to reform yourself.
|Sat, 02-08-2014 - 11:47pm
Why do you care how many women he's with? He's NOT with you, and lucky you! You can see that it's HIS problem, not yours, and it's OTHER women he's cheating, or hurting. It's THEIR problem, not yours. You chose to divorce him, and good for you, but now you are a single woman, and he's a single man.......free as a bird, and about as many brains as a bird. You are just as free of him and the grief he gave you. Your anger isn't bothering him in the least, it's just eating at you, and why? Your best revenge is to live a happy life.....and live it well. He's not a happy man, and going from woman to woman proves it. You divorced him, and what he does and who he does it to is NOT your concern.
Your biggest concern now is your son. Do NOT talk about his father negatively to him. Do NOT let him see you angry about anything, because no matter what, he's still the father, and your son needs to give him respect, if not love. Your son doesn't need to see an angry Mother, either. The only time you should have any thought or concern about your ex and his women is that he doesn't expose your son to different women all the time.
My ex husband was a serial cheater......all 18.5 years of our marriage. HE had a problem. I finally filed for divorce, and he begged me not to. I believed that he didn't want a divorce, because in his own weird way he did care about me and our 3 boys....but too bad, I was tired of it. When finally understood and I was going to go thru with it, he told me "in that case, I'm going to get married". I just laughed at that! But guess what, he DID.......two weeks after our divorce, and it hadn't even been filed yet, he went out of state and got married to his current woman. At that point, they were both alcoholics, and ended up divorced, too. Did I care? NOT one bit.......all I could think was that he was HER problem now, not mine! And that's how you have to look at it. He is no longer your problem, you are a free woman to live your life without worrying what HE is doing. You shouldn't care at all. PS: When she divorced him, he came crying to ME.....and I just told him........tough luck! Not my problem"

Thamk you SO much for your heartfelt words and advice...
My mind knows all this to be true... Yet my heart is so torn and aching...
so appreciate reading your experience...
so thank you ... Sincerely!!

Many of us here will understand every word you wrote. It never ceases to amaze me just how many of us FIND OUT accidentally. I did, too, both times my DH had his emotional affairs, which hurt in their own way. If I knew for a fact he'd gotten physical, we'd be apart for sure, and if he hadn't done a turnaround I wouldn't be able to hang on hoping my feelings will return. Your guy has shown you who he is - when somebody is doing that, you need to believe them. He is not going to change - why would he? He's doing exactly what he wants to do. Why they choose us out of all the women in the world and then cheat blows my mind. I understand you thinking he never really loved you, how could you think anything else? I agree that PTSD actually plays a role for so many of us, if you read info on PTSD you will find yourself there, it's not just for our wonderful soldiers returning from battle - it's also us having a very different battle. I can't suggest strongly enough that you see a therapist, if you already haven't. They come up with questions that help you start to see things differently. You've already changed your life, but letting it all go is the hard part, because it just continues to hurt even if they are no longer in the picture - they are still in your head. BEEN THERE, still there, actually. Stay strong, you're doing okay, but please do see a therapist if this continues to nag and you find you just are not moving on. A therapist can help you see things differently if you're stuck.

Dear Lum, there are various stages of grief. Anger is one. Know in your heart of hearts that he will never be happy. He will always be searching...and will most probably end up alone. You, however, have so much left to give. When you are able, put yourself out there, Accept offers from friends to parties, charity events, and opportunites to meet others, Keep yourself busy., It will help take your mind off of his dispictable behavior, Keep posting here when you need to vent, advice, etc. It helped me so much. You are NOT ALONE,. And you are very strong. Try to feel sorry for him. It helps with the anger. Love and hugs from someone who understands.
|Thu, 02-20-2014 - 7:01pm
You are very welcome. Please feel free to come here and vent, rant, rave, scream, whatever. We UNDERSTAND and are here to support you. BIG HUG!


text: Your business cards should radiate a soothing effect and positive aura which encourages your prospective clients to de-stress by getting a relaxing massage. Use therapeutic templates with healing symbols that have the power to convey the benefits of an expert massage treatment. There are cards that flaunt images of alluring floating candles, pink flowers, massage stones and natural vistas denoting serenity. Spiritual signs and cryptograms in exotic scriptures are also intriguing and add to the mystic of your profession. Chinese symbols complemented by the image of a tranquil looking Buddha and ancient trees possessing remedial properties are super effective for reinforcing the magical healing powers mastered by a massage therapist. The conventional yet arresting image of a woman enjoying a rejuvenating massage can inspire tired nerves almost instantly to go for a comforting healing session. Use calm colors like baby pink, blue, mauve, white and green for peace, positivity and detoxification. Create a nice mission statement on the positive force of the human touch. Remember that attractive, professional and well-designed massage therapy business cards are the trump cards that will help you come out tops in your trade.

The deal is financed with a five-year loan of $1.8 million from Simmons First National Bank of Pine Bluff.

Farmland Purchase
A 164-acre farm in southeast Pulaski County changed hands in a $530,000 sale.

The Carters bought the land for $287,000 more than four years ago from Betty Dorsey.
Hickory Creek Home
A 6,479-SF home in west Little Rock's Hickory Creek neighborhood is under new ownership after a $915,000 deal.
Aaliya Mahood purchased the house from David and Susan Matthews. The deal is financed with a 30-year loan of $640,000 from U.S. Bank of Cincinnati.
The residence previously was linked with a January 2007 mortgage of $380,000 originated by Centennial Bank of Conway and helped secure a May 2011 mortgage of $918,000 held by Heartland Community Bank of Bryant.
The property was assembled in two deals for the house and adjoining land.
The sellers were Joseph and Maudie Stillman, $580,000, in May 2001, and Gene and Gaylia Fortson, $111,000 in October 2005.
Belle Pointe Buy
A 5,462-SF home in west Little Rock's Belle Pointe neighborhood sold for $695,000.
Phillip and Mary Jo Ashley bought the house from the Donna J. Straessle Revocable Trust.
The deal is backed with a 15-year loan of $566,000 from Arvest Bank of Fayetteville.
The residence previously was tied to a January 2002 mortgage of $200,000 held by Arvest Bank and a February 2002 mortgage of $345,000 mortgage held by Arvest Mortgage Co. of Lowell.
The location was purchased for $70,000 in December 1998.
The seller was Carriage Creek Property Owners Improvement District No. 639 of Little Rock.
Hotel Financing

On The Streets of London
A lovely looking bunch outside the US embassy complaining it is all Evil Uncle Sam's fault that Libya isn't free.
I claim five points for spotting the Magic Silver Crutch of Benefit without which seemingly able bodied louts wouldn't be able to live on benefits. A point each for the several subsidised ankle biters and minus points for more headscarfs than the Queen has ever worn at the races...
(I thought I had hit the hippy bonus with the Wiccan pentagram on a red background but it seems it is the Moroccan flag, apologies we don't get much Moroccan here these days, just the hippies.)
If they represent the future of Libya than God help us all.

Good size for a medium sized family.
I had a problem with one of the warning lights that wouldnt turn off. Took the dealer three separate visits to correctly diagnose. Also, the automatic doors will pop open on occasion.
I Enjoy My Van And No, I Dont Feel Like I Am A Soccer Mom. — This car gets good gas mileage for a van. It handles well on the roads. I havent had too many major repairs needed to be made, just regular maintenance mainly. The inside is built well for families with kids, which includes a TV that comes in handy for long trips. I like it overall and would recommend this particular model to any family.

Wrestling: St. Laurence makes grand re-emergence
By Logan Malloy For Sun-Times Media January 16, 2014 9:18PM
St. Laurence's Johnny Gahagan (left) | Brian O'Mahoney/For Sun-Times Media
Updated: February 18, 2014 6:28AM
That faint pulse coming from Burbank? That was the St. Laurence wrestling program on life support.
Once a powerhouse in the 1990s, St. Laurence found itself in a recent slump, failing to keep up with the rest of the Catholic League.
Cue Jim Gahagan, a 1995 alum, who has turned the Vikings into one of the most improved teams from a season ago in his first year as coach.
Take the Wheeling Tournament as an example. A season ago, the Vikings finished dead last, totaling just eight points. This year, the team placed fifth with 97 points, sending five wrestlers to championship bouts.
"If there had been a state ranking out of 100, I think we would've been ranked 105," Gahagan said. "I think we've been an eye-opener to the rest of the Chicago Catholic League."
For St. Laurence, an added bonus in the Gahagan signing has been the coach's son, Johnny, who transferred from state power Oak Park-River Forest for his senior season. The younger Gahagan has been nothing short of dominant. The 138-pounder is 25-0 with 24 pins. He's also gotten interest from Ohio, Brown, North Carolina and North Carolina State as a standout student.
"Being able to sit in the chair and coach Johnny has been awesome," Gahagan said. "As a dad, unless you experience it, you can't explain it."
Other notables for the Vikings include Brandon Ramos (106), Bill Touhy (113), Josh Smith (195) and heavyweight Frank Tomaskovic. All have flourished in Gahagan's new-school approach to fitness.
Gahagan's placed emphasis on core workouts, plyometrics and parkour-style exercises instead of traditional weightlifting programs.
"At the start of the year I tried to weed out the weak," Gahagan said. "We opened with tough two-a-day practices — I couldn't get anyone to quit."
The program likely won't quit, either. Gahagan also coaches the Southside Stallions, a Hickory Hills-based youth program that figures to be a talent feeder for St. Laurence.
"It's my job to make us elite again," Gahagan said.
Judo to wrestling
If the style of Homewood-Flossmoor's Alec Campos seems a bit unorthodox, that's because it is. Campos, a 106-pound sophomore, has a background in martial arts.
"Campos has wrestled very well for us," H-F coach Brett Geijer said. "This is only his second year wrestling. He's a judo kid, so a lot of the stuff you see him do is from judo."
Campos and Devion May (220) have been bright spots for H-F in a year rife with injury, though the team is getting healthier.
Connor Bandy recently returned from injury after a month layoff and landed a pin in H-F's 45-21 win Wednesday night over Tinley Park. Geijer also said two-time state qualifier Mike Burke could return in time for regional action after tearing an ACL.
"(Burke's) a kid who works his tail off and does what he's supposed to," Geijer said. "I'm not going to put him out there too soon and mess up his college career."
Geijer said Wisconsin-Whitewater, one of the top Division III wrestling programs in the nation, is Burke's likely landing spot next season.

5. A little background: In 1999, comic book writer Warren Ellis and artist Bryan Hitch created The Authority, a superhero team that liked drinking, cursing, screwing and killing — the antithesis of Superman and Justice League of America.
4. In 2001, writer Joe Kelly responded with "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?" — a tale in which an Authority-like group of rough and tumble super heroes who kill and force Superman to stand up to them and emphasize the need to see the grace of humanity even in its darkest hour.
3. This story became the "Superman vs. The Elite" animated film released Tuesday, which made a good translation from print to DVD in the hands of Kelly, who returned to write, and the Warner Bros. Animation studio.
2. The animation is middling, save for a spectacular opening title sequence, but the voice cast is top notch from George Newbern as Superman to a sublime turn by Robin Atkin Downes as Manchester Black, leader of The Elite.
1. The story, though, is top notch and illustrates a couple of important points about comic's greatest hero: First, there are still good Superman stories to tell for creative minds and secondly, Superman should always, always, always be inspiring and never, never, never embrace the darkness.
Time: 1 hour, 14 minues
Director: Michael Chang
Cast: George Newbern, Pauley Perrette, Robin Atkin Downes and David Kaufman

Lewis, Christopher (2010). The Influence of Voice Gender on the Perceived Sex of Biological Motion. (Mentor: E. Hiris)
Integrating information from multiple modalities allows us to live in an environment without being constantly confronted with perceptual ambiguity. I studied how visual and auditory information is integrated in making judgments about sex. Observers were shown a series of point-light walkers (PLWs) which each varied in the gender information they contained. Presenting those stimuli with unambiguous male, female, and neutral gender voices, each of which either addressed the stimuli or created the perception of being from the stimuli, had no effect on the visually perceived gender if the voice addressed the stimuli. However, when the voice was coming from the stimuli, the gender information carried by the voicer influenced the visually perceived gender. These data suggest auditory sex cues influenced the perceived sex of biological motion, but only when the voice was coming from the biological motion. Thus, audiovisual integration of biological motion is processed at a level that can differentiate if the auditory information is related to the visual stimuli.

Hi Dr. Lam, I appreciate you taking the time to answer our questions. I have deep rolling acne scars on my cheeks as well as significant fat loss. I believe the fat loss is the biggest issue because the depressed cheeks accentuate the appearance of the scars under lighting.
I have had hyaluronic fillers and they drastically reduced the appearance of the scars by providing volume to the cheeks, but I'm hoping for a more permanent solution.
I was wondering if you would recommend first doing a fat transfer and then touching up with silicone injections later on? Would it achieve a similar effect as the temporary fillers? I can provide photos if that would be helpful.

Available as an eBook for subscribing libraries on .
'Although the public thinks of "war crimes" as a generic term covering all international prosecutions, offences concerning the conduct of hostilities have been largely overshadowed by cases dealing with the oppression of civilians, mainly under the rubric of crimes against humanity. With this excellent and accessible volume, we now have a substantial examination of the criminal law applicable to what was hitherto a somewhat neglected area. Recent judicial decisions indicate that the relevance of the subject seems destined to increase.'

4.6 Million Snapchat Accounts Leaked
Millions of Americans may be waking up with more problems than a hangover this New Year's Day. On Wednesday, a hacker website claimed that it had a list of the user names and phone numbers for 4.6 million people on Snapchat.
The company behind Snapchat, was warned about the potential for hacking months ago. In August, the Internet security group Gibson Security, wrote that it found a vulnerability in Snapchat's friend-finder feature that would allow a hacker to discover the phone numbers behind user names in the app. GibsonSec reported that if a hacker uploaded a large list of numbers to a phone, the hacker could then find the phone number behind a Snapchat name.
Four months later, Snapchat dismissed the potential security.
"Theoretically, if someone were able to upload a huge set of phone numbers, like every number in an area code, or every possible number in the U.S., they could create a database of the results and match usernames to phone numbers that way," the company wrote in a blog post shortly after Christmas. Without going into further detail, it added: "We recently added additional counter-measures and continue to make improvements to combat spam and abuse."
It didn't work.
On Wednesday, a website called SnapchatDB.info (currently down) claimed it was offering files with 4.6 million pairs of Snapchat names and phone numbers for anyone to download. The last two digits of each number and the last half of each user name were blurred out, but the unknown hackers behind the site stated that they would offer the entire database to interested parties "[u]nder certain circumstances."
Snapchat has not responded to a request from HuffPost for comment on SnapchatDB.
GibsonSec announced on its Twitter account that it was not involved in the hack, and the company is offering users a way on its website to find out if their Snapchat info was leaked.

Health minister Lesley Griffiths: NHS change 'not easy'
The health minister has warned of difficult changes for the NHS in Wales.
Lesley Griffiths told a public health conference that a big shake-up will take place over the next five years.
She pledged to "take the flak" for the changes which she says will not be easy for staff or patients.
Opposition parties have accused the minister of shirking responsibility by setting up an independent group to examine proposals by local health boards for change.
Ms Griffiths set out to answer her critics in a speech to the Public Health Wales conference where she said change was necessary.
On Monday she set out plans to improve maternity care for women and their babies during pregnancy and childbirth in Wales.
The minister warned the health boards which manage local services that they could not let services "drift" by failing to modernise.
"Bringing about these changes will not be easy," Ms Griffiths said in her speech.
"They will not be easy for the dedicated staff that work in the NHS. The changes, in some instances, won't be easy for some patients to accept either.
"On a personal level, I know the changes will not be 'walk in the park' politically - there will be difficult decisions that will be made by LHBs that I may ultimately have to consider.'Cowardly move'
"However, and I would like to make this clear today, despite what ever flak lies ahead in delivering the bold policies we have for improving the NHS, or in making the right decisions for Wales on how services will be delivered in the future - one thing is for sure.
"I will not shirk from the work ahead because I know that change is necessary and in some cases long overdue."
After the speech, Ms Griffiths told BBC Wales: "We can't just make very narrow decisions. Not everyone's going to be happy.
Analysis by Arwyn Jones, BBC Wales health correspondent
This is the first time we've really heard from Lesley Griffiths about what she wants to do with the NHS and she started off by saying change was inevitable.
The minister was talking specifically I think about reorganisation and we know this has been on the cards for a very long time.
If you are looking at the hospitals and services available at the moment, people like to keep what they've got, but Ms Griffiths said that's not really an option for the future because of the NHS having to constantly change and adapt.
She said, for example, perhaps there were too many small hospitals in Wales and perhaps what was needed was larger hospitals providing more services.
But that will be unpopular with some people.
She said today ultimately any changes would be made by her as the head of the NHS Wales.
"That's one of the reasons I announced yesterday the establishment of a national clinical forum, because I want to ensure all the plans from local health boards are made from a clinical perspective, not a political perspective."
She said any consultation had to be transparent but there should be no talk of downgrading.
Meanwhile, first minister Carwyn Jones and Conservative assembly leader Andrew RT Davies locked horns during the first assembly session of the term on Tuesday.
Mr Davies - elected as Conservative assembly leader in July - said consultants working for the Welsh Government had drawn up plans to cut 1,200 nurses, freeze recruitment and close some NHS facilities.
The first minister denied the work by consultants McKinsey was carried out on behalf of the government and said none of the cuts had taken place.
It is understood local health boards will submit their proposals for change and modernisation to Ms Griffiths in the next few weeks.
She has already announced an independent panel called the National Clinical Forum will examine the proposals on her behalf.
Conservative health spokesman Darren Millar said: "The establishment of this group is an attempt by the health minister to shirk all responsibility for the Welsh NHS.
"It's a cowardly move that seeks to pass the buck for future unpopular decisions which are a direct result of Welsh Labour Government policy."

How'd you like to party in Las Vegas at a super-plush outdoor booth on the very tip of the Bellagio's terrace -right beside the thundering fountains?
PHOTO GALLERY: Sneak peek at Hyde Lounge Bellagio in Vegas
TWITTER: Follow Hotel Check-In's BarbDelollis
Soon, you'll have that option - if, that is, you can grab the table.
On New Year's Eve, Los Angeles nightlife impresario and emerging hotelier Sam Nazarian is re-opening the Bellagio's now-closed Fontana bar as the super-hip, DJ-driven Hyde Lounge Bellagio.
PHOTO GALLERY: A sneak peek of Hyde Lounge Bellagio
When you go, you'll hear popular DJs - both established and emerging - who'll spin from the "grand salon" behind a black-and-white, reclaimed wood fireplace, according to Nazarian's company, SBE. If you're hungry, expect small plate selections from Circo, Bellagio's gourmet Tuscan restaurant.
The new Hyde Lounge will give the Bellagio a chance at attracting a new, younger clientele, while giving SBE the ability to better understand the Las Vegas market.

SBE could use the experience since it owns the Rat-Pack-era Sahara, which it closed earlier this year. Nazarian - months away from opening his second high-end SLS hotel in South Beach - plans eventually to re-open the Sahara as an SLS.

As for Hyde Lounge Bellagio, expect plenty of seating to hold the rest of us from afternoon into the night. The bar will hold 714 people, primarily with a mix leather couches arranged in intimate formations and at 40 VIP tables, which includes the circular booth on the terrace.
Cocktails: What to expect
In terms of beverages, expect organically crafted signature drinks and classic libations. One example of signature cocktail: the "Cucumber Watermelon Margarita."
In a nod to the Bellagio, Hyde Lounge is also creating a Bellini menu inspired by Italy's cocktail culture. You'll also be able to order wine from Bellagio's 1,500-bottle wine program.
Finally, expect a table-side mixologist.
Design: What to expect
As far as design goes, SBE says Hyde Lounge Bellagio's inspired by a Tuscan garden and lined by potted olive trees. The grand salon main room features dark wood flooring, four chandeliers and the couches, eclectic tables and lamps.
The Italianate terrace, which is being expanded closer to the lake by more than 15 feet, will also be equipped with lavish sofas and an outdoor bar.
In the "upper living room," you can gather at a vanity-inspired bar made of high-gloss black wood decorated with art and photography.
The private study features wood-clad walls with bookshelves and a gorgeous desk offering various items for sale such as books, festival masks and candles – trinkets and treasures inspired by the previous owner.
SBE nightlife venues famous with the famous
Who will you bump into here? You'll never know.
SBE doesn't yet have guest list info for Hyde Lounge Bellagio's opening night, but one thing is for sure: SBE clubs are famous for attracting the famous.
This past summer, for instance, when I stopped by SBE's low-key, musical-performance-centered Sayer's Club, Jamie Foxx occupied one of the club's black leather couches next to the stage. Later, a variety of performers of mostly emerging - but hip - artists such as Santigold and L.P. took the stage. Even Gene Simmons' son Nick grabbed a mic and belted out a Doors cover.
In terms of Hyde lounges, this is the first Hyde outside California, though one will follow in Miami when the SLS opens early next year. Other Hyde lounges are located in Los Angeles on Sunset Boulevard and at the Staples Center, as well as at Mammoth ski resort.

Ok, say you get a girl's number, then call her up and she doesn't answer. Then 5 minutes later she texts you saying she's sorry she didn't answer cause she's watching some lame tv show or something and what's up.
Trying to figure this one out. I can understand missing a call, but why not call back? Why send a lame text saying you're watching something on tv? Is that supposed to let me know my place or something? Under a tv show lol?

If you have to have a larger screen, spend a little more and look into the Nook HD 9"when there are some discounts. Much better screen.

this is a great price, no, it is not an Asus TF700 or Nexus 10, both the top Android tablets, but then people do not always want the best, just something that works. If people always wanted the best there would be not GM or Ford products on the road. Works for many people just fine.

this is a good deal for a 10" Tegra 3 tablet.
1) full usb port
2) its not IPS screen but the engadget said viewing angle is good.
3) sold by walmart.
4) shipping is only $2.97 so it's not even worth it to drive for pickup.
5) I got the oriiginal A500 and it's a rock solid tablet (had it upgraded to ICS)
if I didn't already have a a500 I would get this one.
If it's any indication. I got a two refurbished garmen gps from them last year. (shipping was only $1.95):
- came in white box with all the accessories inside
- units looks near new
- I returned one at the store and it was a HASSLE FREE return. I didn't even get advance RMA. I just too it to the store/customer service and brought my reciept along.

I rated my experience as excellent because every moment I was in the office was great. Dr. Burgess attended to me immediately, did a great, pain-free job of capping my teeth where the filings were about to fall out, keep me calm and comfortable, and was very personable, as was the dental hygienist.

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults older than 30, yet many people are unaware of its signs and symptoms. If the disease is caught and treated in its early stages, the damage can be stopped or reversed.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues and bones that surround and support your teeth. Gingivitis and periodontitis are two types of gum disease. Gingivitis, an infection of the gums and soft tissues that surround the teeth, is the first sign of gum disease. Gingivitis is reversible, but if it remains untreated, it can progress to periodontitis. Periodontitis, which is more severe, spreads below the gums and damages the tissue and bone that support your teeth. If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss.
Half of Americans 30 or older have periodontitis, the more advanced form of gum disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Our mouths are full of bacteria. This bacteria mixes with our saliva and the food we eat or drink to form plaque. Gum disease is primarily caused by the growth of plaque that builds up on your teeth and gums. Plaque produces harmful toxins and the body's response to those toxins can destroy the gums and bone that surround your teeth. If plaque isn't removed on a daily basis, it hardens on teeth to form tartar, which cannot be removed by a toothbrush or floss. Tartar also contributes to gum disease.
Gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease, usually isn't painful, so you may not notice the signs and seek treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. Bleeding when you brush or floss is one of the first signs of gum disease. Other signs include bad breath, red and swollen gums, tartar buildup and tenderness when you are brushing, flossing or chewing.
As gum disease progresses, additional signs may appear, including increased inflammation, receding gums, teeth that seem loose or that shift position and changes in your bite. Teeth may become more sensitive and it may be painful for you to bite or chew food. Even if you don't notice any signs, you may still have some degree of gum disease that can be spotted during a routine dental visit.
If you notice signs of gum disease, take action right away. Gum disease is frequently caused by neglecting to brush your teeth or improperly cleaning teeth and gums each day. Making it a habit to brush your teeth two to three times a day and floss at least once a day are crucial for daily plaque removal. If you smoke, work on quitting, since smoking is another major risk factor in gum disease.
Visit the dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings. If you have gum disease, you can take care of it by caring for your teeth and gums every day.

I do my kick counts. And now that I'm 36 weeks, LO is running out of room so the kicks are more pushes and rolls. Most of the time I move around so much during the day (I'm a teacher.) that I barely feel baby. So the moment I sit down to drive home there's a flurry of activity. Today though, she's barely moved at all. I'm working on a kick count right now, but it's taking a long time.
Is there a point where movement slows down so much that I need to be concerned and call my OB?
Stillharbor:Not stressing yet. It's something MH just asked about and I realized she hadn't moved on her normal schedule today. And this evening is still very quiet, occasional moves but no dance party in there. I have an appointment Thursday but didn't know if I should call before then.
I would give them a call, Thursday is way too long to wait.
Don't get me wrong a baby can have a quiet day, like any of us, but it's better to make sure everything is OK.
Meh, I say if you don't feel anything for hours, then call, at least at this point. lol. But, I have a baby who likes to be REALLY active some days, and hardly move others, and that just seems to be how he works.
I agree that 10 an hour is excessive.

I set to drive to Birmingham once again to publicly showcase our newest solar car EVA for the first time! We were invited to the Composites Engineeing Show by Mouldlife and Group Gazechim to demonstrate the cool things you can build from composites. Arriving just before 5pm there wasn't a huge hassle with vehicles trying to get in the area and thus the whole offloading and setting the car up went very smoothly!
On Saturday 25th October 2014, we held our One Year To Go (OYTG) event which marked a year until our participation in the 2015 World Solar Challenge. Held at the Marshall Headquarters in Cambridge, the OYTG event was also a chance for CUER's sponsors, supporters, alumni and current members to gather for the unveiling of our 2014 car, EVA.
Week 4 started with much of the team heading off to the National Composite Centre in Bristol to start laying up the carbon fibre for the 2014 car. Because of the mass evacuation to Bristol, the office was quite empty for much of the week, making our mandatory 3:30pm game of ninja much less exciting!
Last week saw the official beginning of the Summer Design Team. The week was spent learning all about the world of solar racing and CUER, so that the team would be up to speed and ready to start their own projects with confidence. The first few days were spent talking to established team members and watching documentaries that covered the key principles of solar racing.
It's been a busy few days for CUER but we're now settled in at the NEC in Birmingham and having a great time. We first arrived on Monday night and moved Resolution into our exhibition space before checking into our accommodation to get some rest before the show opened the next day. Tuesday was press day, we met lots of interesting people and presented our car to the visitors in the Innovation Theatre. Wednesday was then the first day the show was open to the public and it has been very busy but wonderful to see so many interested people of all ages keen to hear about our project!
Over the past month the team has been running a series of concept evaluation sessions. The sessions allow members of all the different sub teams to come together to assess different concepts for future cars. We are currently developing a prototype car which will be completed over the next few months. This will enable us to test whether our concepts and changes work practically and also help practice construction of the car. Ideas will then be taken forward to build the new race car during the summer.

now now he had gone 12-9 4.59 98 ERA+, 13-8 4.41 96 ERA+, 15-7 3.51 129 ERA+, 11-10 5.15 88 ERA+ from 2004-2007 before the final season 20-9 .690 132 ERA+. I'm pretty sure at the end of '07 the consensus was he was done and may not make the rotation. You could twist the numbers to say he was under 100 ERA + in 3 of the 4 seasons before 2008 or was @ 130 in two of his last three seasons. My recollection was he had his one last hurrah and woudl revert to the 2004-07 level or worst, but that is just one man's guess.
The guy was keen on statistics and probably understood "regression to the mean". He didn't have the skills he used to. Plus, there is more to life than baseball to Mike. What's wrong with retiring on a high note?
Moose never struck me as a HOF player, I have him grouped with Schilling, Brown, Morris, etc. The only pitchers from the same era I see as HOF worthy are Maddux, Johnson, Martinez, Clemens, Glavine and Rivera.
Hoffman is not Rivera, so no, and he only has that '98 WS appearance to supplement those 601 saves, and they lost to Rivera's team. Hey, double negative there. I don't weigh All-star selections high anymore. Way too many players selected nowadays and each team must be represented. Do you really need that many people on the bench? The old way was much better, appearance due to having the best performance at the respective position and/or being a super popular player.
About the saves, they're just saves. Yes, there is a ton of them, a save is a save and I cannot save Hoffman for that alone. What else does he have or has done? How many saves would the Big Unit, Maddux or Clemens have accumulated if they spent their entire careers in the pen? Im sure alot more than 601. Closers are certainly a major part of the game, though I think much of it has to due with contractual reasons. I think if managers were not forced to go to their closers in save opportunity situations, many of them may choose to leave the starter in to complete the game. Anyways, to me, the closer and relievers will always be living in the shadows of the premium starters.
Smoltz is a can of worms for me; as a starter, no. As a closer, definitely not. Combined however is the question and I do not have an answer right now. I'm more inclined to say no than yes. Smoltz just doesn't wow me but I think he is a better candidate than Hoffman. I place him between the two groups i mentioned earlier.
Most seasons 5+ pitching WAR, retired pitchers debuting 1981+

Eradicate, wipe out and abolish redundancy.
Free El Duque!(and Mark Mulder) -- discover how the HOF rules are cheating this renowned member of Torre's Yankees dynasty and ask the HOF to include him on the ballot for the next BBWAA election.
Mussina really was on the short list for best pitcher in the AL during his time with Baltimore. From 1992-1999 he went 132-61 .683 3.55 ERA 130 ERA+ in 1684 IP or seasonally 16-8 211 IP. Stretching it to 2003 with the NYY and he is 195-105 .650 3.55 128 ERA+ 2581 IP or seasonally 16-9 215 IP. He gets hurt by not having a wow season, by having a string of 18 or 19 win seasons and Baltimore not goign further than they did in the post-season.
I think Mussina is better than Glavine.
Is there any doubt whether Mike Mussina is a HOF pitcher? I think he is a no-brainer.
- 270 wins - equivalent to well over 300 wins in a previous era. 33rd all-time in wins and 19th all-time in strikeouts. For what it's worth, he is 12th all-time in K/BB ratio too (3.58) - and three of the guys ahead of him are active and likely to slip (Haren, Shields, Halladay). He was always known as an excellent control pitcher.
- Pitched his entire career in the AL East and at the peak of the steroid era, yet still put up very good numbers -- and there is no suspicion whatsoever that he was a user.
- Only 12 pitchers in the modern era have more innings pitched than Mussina and better (or same) ERA+ (Lefty Grove, Walter Johnson, Roger Clemens, Christy Mathewson, Randy Johnson, Pete Alexander, Greg Maddux, Carl Hubbell, Tom Seaver, Bob Gibson, Jim Palmer, Juan Marichal) Pretty good company.
- He is 24th all time in WAR among pitchers (74.8) - Including 19th century guys Young, Nichols, Keefe, and Clarkson.
- Never won a Cy Young Award (though he was top-five in the voting 6 times)
- Overshadowed by superior pitchers Clemens, Maddux, Johnson, Martinez. Never really considered among the very elite, more like 2nd tier.
- Only won 20 games one time (but it was in his final season, and he walked away at the top of his game, which should help his cause)
- Never won a WS ring (this should be irrelevant to the discussion - but it's kind of sad the the Yankees won in 2000 and 2009 and Mussina's tenure was from 2001-2008. Mussina was an excellent postseason pitcher but didn't have any luck).
He would have have had three 20-win seasons if not for the work stoppages in 1994 and 1995. He would have won multiple Cy Youngs in most other eras. He just had bad timing that he had 3-4 all-timers in the same league at the same time as him in his prime.

He's in. If he wasn't the best AL pitcher in the 90s, it's only because Clemens and Johnson were there. His perception is skewed by his time with the Yankees. With Baltimore he was A-list year after year after year. If he was pitching a generation earlier those 17-19 win seasons become 20s and this isn't even up for discussion considering he coupled that with low ERAs.

He is hardly ever mentioned, and certainly not in the same breath as Maddux, Johnson, Clemens, and Martinez. He, along with Glavine, Smoltz, and Schilling were in the second tier, but certainly were all deserving Hall Of Famers.
270 wins, with a .638 winning percentage and over 2,800 strikeouts, and one best SO:BB ratios ever, playing his entire career in the AL East during the peak of the steroid era isn't impressive enough?
a 123 ERA+ in over 3,500 IP isn't enough?
82+ WAR isn't enough?
You have exceedingly high standards.
--Really the only argument against Mussina is that he was overshadowed by several contemporary pitchers. Not being in the top group at your position in your own time is a reasonable argument against a player being Hall of Fame worthy, but its unfair in this case as Mussina pitched in an era with an unmatched number of all time great pitchers. Before the PED allegations many people were arguing Clemens for best pitcher of all time. Maddux isn't far off that standard and Johnson is in many (most?) top 10s. Martinez may be the best inning for inning of them all and is only out of most top 10 because he doesn't have the bulk of some other great pitchers.
--The second tier of pitchers is pretty impressive too and Mussina stacks up pretty well against them. Glavine is the surest thing due to 300 wins, but I don't know that he is actually better than Mussina. Schilling had a few more highlights but was never as consistent and is well short of Moose in career numbers. Smoltz is more interesting with the detour down the closer route and postseason heroics, but his numbers also come up short of Mussina.

On any given day, bloggers the world over sit at home, alone, for the duration of the workday.
Of course, we're not alone — many an aspiring screenwriter, cocktail waitress and stripper also wiles away their days by their lonesome, although I'd argue that cocktail waitresses and strippers have plenty of social interactions to look forward to later in the evening. More

A few weeks ago Newsweek got a lot of attention for Niall Ferguson's factually challenged cover story slamming the Obama case for re-election. This week, in true corporate media style, we get the "other" side: An argument that Obama should move the Democratic party to the right. Peter Boyer's piece, "Why Barack Needs Bill," recycles some of more dubious claims about the effectiveness of Clinton's brand of center-right "triangulation." Since this is the media's usual advice for Democrats– move to the right in order to capture the center– it's worth unpacking. Clinton-style "New Democrats," Boyers explains, "have nearly vanished." And […]
