Noninvasive Positive-Pressure Ventilation for Acute Respiratory Failure: Comparative Effectiveness
Conclusions (1 of 2)
For patients with acute respiratory failure due to severe exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE), the use of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) plus supportive medical therapy was associated with reductions in mortality, intubation rates, and hospital-acquired pneumonia when compared with supportive medical therapy alone.
In a limited number of patients, the use of NPPV decreased hospital-acquired pneumonia when compared with invasive ventilation.
Keywords: acute respiratory failure | noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation | NPPV | summary | supportive care | conclusions

Tire Trouble
Image courtesy MBARI
Proving that what people throw away on land doesn't always stay there, scientists at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California have published the results of a study of trash on the deep seafloor. Pictured is one example of such refuse, a tire on a ledge in Monterey Canyon that rests 2,850 feet (868 meters) below the surface.
To conduct the study, lead author Kyra Schlining and her coauthors combed through 18,000 hours of underwater video collected by the aquarium's remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
But the process wasn't as tedious as it might sound: Monterey Bay technicians had already logged every bit of debris recorded in the footage over the past 22 years. So Schlining and colleagues were able to search the database and compile the results.
The team counted over 1,500 examples of deep-sea debris, going as deep as 13,123 feet (4,000 meters). They found items at dive sites from Vancouver Island to the Gulf of California, and as far west as Hawaii.
But to get a more nuanced picture of the debris, the scientists focused on an area they know quite well: the floor of Monterey Canyon.
Monterey Canyon stretches 95 miles (153 kilometers) through Monterey Bay into the Pacific Ocean. It reaches depths of up to 11,800 feet (3,600 meters) below the surface of the sea, although the actual canyon is only about 1 mile deep from the surrounding seafloor, making it comparable to the Grand Canyon. Monterey Canyon gets a steady influx of nutrients and is known to host rich biodiversity.
By studying the trash in the canyon, the scientists hope to begin to understand how marine debris accumulates and what impacts it may have on the ecosystem. (Related: "Pictures of Deep-Sea Creatures.")
In a release, Schlining said the most frustrating part of the project for her was that most of the ocean refuse the scientists found—things like glass, metal, paper, and plastic—could have been recycled but instead ended up in the sea.
In the conclusion to their paper, the scientists wrote, "Ultimately, preventing the introduction of litter into the marine environment through increased public awareness remains the most efficient and cost-effective solution to this dilemma."

Message in a Bottle
Image courtesy MBARI/NOAA
Captured by a Monterey Bay Aquarium ROV in 2006, this Coke bottle from Asia rested at Davidson Seamount, 60 miles (97 kilometers) off central California and 5,666 feet (1,727 meters) below the ocean surface.
According to the researchers, the largest proportion of the observed deep-sea debris—about a third of the total—consisted of various things made out of plastic. More than half of those were plastic bags, which are known to pose a risk to wildlife because they can smother, choke, or strangle them.
The second most commonly observed objects were made of metal. About two-thirds of those were aluminum, steel, or tin cans. Glass bottles were also commonly found, as were fishing gear, rope, cloth, and even paper.

Tangled Web

This tangle of rope and fishing gear lies on the seafloor about 3,280 feet (1,000 meters) deep in Monterey Canyon.
The researchers found that instead of being randomly distributed, trash tends to collect on steep, rocky slopes, such as the edges of canyons. They speculate that the debris is dropped when ocean currents are slowed by obstacles, such as outcrops or canyon walls. (Related: "Odd Sea Creatures Found at Volcanoes, Canyons.")
The researchers also noted that trash tended to be more common in the deeper parts of Monterey Canyon, below 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). Schlining said, "I was surprised that we saw so much trash in deeper water."
Schlining added, "I'm sure that there's a lot more debris in the canyon that we're not seeing. A lot of it gets buried by underwater landslides and sediment movement. Some of it may also be carried into deeper water, farther down the canyon."

Beating the Drum
Image courtesy MBARI
This 55-gallon drum was recorded at 9,488 feet (2,892 meters) deep in outer Monterey Canyon in 2007.
The researchers concluded that much of the trash they saw originated on land, instead of being tossed from boats, because it was often mixed with bits of wood and other natural debris from land.
"We don't usually think of our daily activities as affecting life two miles deep in the ocean," Schlining said in a statement.

Shoe Fish
Image courtesy MBARI
A young rockfish explores an old shoe 1,548 feet (472 meters) deep in San Gabriel Canyon, off Southern California, in 2010.
Monterey Bay Aquarium researchers pointed out that old fishing gear seemed to pose the most obvious threat to marine life, since they saw several animals trapped in it. Other effects were more subtle, they reported.
The scientists saw numerous examples of animals making their homes in or on trash. Although that may provide some immediate benefit, it also may result in changes in the ecosystem down the line, the researchers warned.
"To make matters worse, the impacts of deep-sea trash may last for years," the scientists wrote. "Near-freezing water, lack of sunlight, and low oxygen concentrations discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can break down debris. Under these conditions, a plastic bag or soda can might persist for decades."
Published June 6, 2013
Uncertain Future
Image courtesy MBARI
In 2006, an ROV recorded this plastic draped on a deep-sea gorgonian coral, almost 7,000 feet (2,115 meters) below the surface in Astoria Canyon, off the coast of Oregon.
Researchers hope to further study the impacts of trash on ocean life. The scientists are also working with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to assess the impact of a shipping container that fell off a ship in 2004. (Related: "Amsterdam's Lean, Green Shipping Container Homes.")
During research, scientists are occasionally able to pick up trash from the deep sea. But currently, cleaning up the ocean on a large scale is prohibitively expensive. The scientists also note that removing some objects could cause more harm than good, if living things have come to rely on them.

Why isn't the drum crushed?
Why isn't that drum crushed?
is the drum empty or filled with cement? just wondering....lots of cases like that so called "unsolved crimes"...
It's not so much as the public isn't informed it's more that the majority of the public is ignorant and doesn't care.
this looks like the road side in the U.S. in 1954 it was bad!!! I don't live in Ala. but I must say they have the cleanest road,s in the U,S,
I hate to see our liter all over the place, but the last I saw, the only thing economically worth recycling is aluminum. Everything else produces more pollution and costs more money to recycle than simply to bury.
I am wondering what the affect of all that water pressure is on these objects? I suppose that much of it will survive a long time in the oxygen-deprived, cold waters.
The Greeks left bronze and marble statues on the bottom of the sea floor. We leave tires, empty bottles. lengths of wasted wire, etc. Wonder what archaeologists will think of us in 2,000 years ... that is if humans are still around then.
I like how it's "Surprising!" LOL. Really???....
Where's the "West Coast" environmental influence? The three states boarder the Pacific Ocean in the research are responsible for the pollution. Clean your own house before trying to export your views on everyone else. In my state, we don't have this type of pollution.
@Boni Oloff Nugraha Excuse me,i am afraid that the characters on the bottle are Korean, not Chinese characters.
@Boni Oloff Nugraha There was a message in the bottle, and some Asian is stranded on an island! We have to find that bottle again and read the note!!!
crushing occurs when exterior pressure is greater than interior pressure. since the drum probably is open, water filled it as is sank. Since the outside and inside pressures are the same, it is ok.
@Dale Tanco It sank, so it obviously weighs more than the water it displaces, and it isn't crushed so it is obviously filled with something... Even an empty drum can sink if filled water... ordinary water...
@Richard Alexander Wrong, iron, steel, and glass is worth recycling because it makes it far easier to melt the product into new products...
@alur alur SSSUUUUURRRREEE you don't, troll. The Coke bottle is not sold in this country, genius. And lurn 2 spel while you're at it.
@Alter Kakker @alur alur Coke was sold in bottles for over 100 years in this country, but it's not sold now, ergo, there is no way a dunce from Cal could have dropped it in the ocean. Brilliant deduction alter.
If you had said a Coke bottle could not have been thrown from someone in Cal because no one in Cal is smart enough to know how to open a bottle....that would be believable.
They looked at 95 miles of the ocean floor. If they took the garbage off any 9 mile stretch of LA and dumped it in the ocean, you wouldn't be able to see the ocean floor. That city is the most disgusting pig sty in this country. It makes Kabul look like Monte Carlo.

Attendance is a critical foundation for school success. Students need to attend school to achieve in school. In fact high school students who attend school 95% of the time are one-and-a-half times more likely to be on-track to graduate on time; when students attend school they are much more likely to achieve their dreams and enroll in college; the more involved students are in school, the more likely they are to enjoy school and want to attend school.

Mayor R.T. Rybak presented at a spirited auditorium for our freshmen. He spoke about how important it is too create a positive vision for oneself at a young age. (The mayor decided at the age of 13 that he wanted to become a mayor.) He asked everyone in the room to close their eyes and try to see a vision for themselves.
He then answered a wide range of questions from the audience. This reporter found that he had a remarkable knowledge about the Northside, commenting specifically on the many positive things going on.
He said he wanted to teach everyone to do a proper handshake. He showed one student how to grip firmly a person's hand, look them in the eye, and then say your name. He moved to the doorway and shook everyone's hand as they left. Our mayor has a lot of energy. Photos from the Polar Auditorium.

The owners of New York institution the '21' Club have converted a section of the restaurant's ground floor into a classic cocktail lounge. Sip time-honored tipples—like the Southside (gin, lemon, sugar, mint and soda)—that were invented in the storied space, or opt for one of the draft beers (Guinness, Prohibition Ale, Brooklyn Brewery). Drinkers can soak up the booze with bar snacks, like soft pretzels with a cheddar dip, fried buffalo shrimp with a creamy goat-cheese sauce, and grilled fish tacos with salsa verde.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Some conservative Republicans' frustrations with the Kansas ethics commission are likely to prompt legislators to consider overhauling the watchdog agency this year.
Lawmakers could even consider stripping the agency of its enforcement duties.
Carol Williams, the commission's executive director, expressed concern Tuesday about a proposal to have county prosecutors and the attorney general's office pursue potential fines against officials who violate ethics and campaign finance laws.
But House Elections Committee Scott Schwab said interest is strong among his colleagues in examining the commission and considering changes. The conservative Olathe lawmaker said two ideas are taking away the commission's enforcement duties and imposing term limits on commission members.
Some Republicans have complained since the mid-1990s that the commission is more aggressive in investigating and fining conservatives than moderates or liberals.

With Thompson Gone, Yahoo Needs Stability
So Scott Thompson is out, adding to the growing list of CEOs who simply couldn't hang on to their job at Yahoo. Not only did hedge fund Third Point get the ouster it wanted, it's also getting three board seats. Adding to Thompson's woes, the now former CEO revealed the awful news to the board that he has thyroid cancer, which is part of the reason he's resigning. He had been in the job since January.
Ross Levinsohn (left), the company's head of global media, is taking the CEO seat on an interim basis. Does anyone want this job?!
On the positive side, shares of Yahoo stock rose with the news that Thompson was leaving the company. On the negative side, this latest changing of the guard doesn't change anything for the company just yet. It's still behind the curve from a tech standpoint and its still got troubles with an unpopular patent infringement suit against Facebook.
It will take time to turn around business fortunes entirely, but the company needs to start by offering up stability.

If we can just reach out and connect, it helps too know we aren't the only ones in the world experiencing these feelings and behaviors that are believed to be uncommon and irrational. I want to break through those stereotypes of pregnancy, and uncover some of the more grit of what happens to us psychologically. The transition we make from trimesters to full blown motherhood has to be one of the most significantly psychologically extreme journeys we will ever take as individuals. Our identities, bodies, and minds seem to go through a complete renovation. Its unfortunate that so many pregnant women feel that the unpleasant feelings, and negative thoughts should be neglected or denied.Psychology courses, specifically some of the theories Dr. Freud introduces. Dr. Freud often suggests that many of our deep rooted emotions, and
I have my own blog site that explores more about depression during pregnancy, it is also a support site so please join and share with us.

Perhaps because that plotline was so serious, the rest of the episode was completely silly. The key points: Blaine apparently signed a contract to join the Cheerios, and Sue had come to claim her prize. She and Becky told Blaine he has no choice in the matter, but Blaine challenged her to a Rumpelstiltskin-esque singing duel of Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj (nice cross-promoting, Fox!) to save his first-born son soul. The highlight of this whole plot was watching Jane Lynch rap "Super Bass," complete with a montage of Sue's Nicki Minaj animated faces. Get it, girl.
Sue Minaj won the battle, so Blaine unfortunately has to join the Cheerios. But – twist! – is this maybe what he wanted all along? He told Sam in the hallway that the plan to sabotage Sue and the Cheerios from the inside was working. Is this show suddenly Homeland? IS BLAINE SECRETLY NICHOLAS BRODY? You heard it here first/last. Welcome to a possible plot for the rest of the season – I just hope an added benefit is that one of the Cheerios tells Blaine to cut back on the hair gel. Seriously, he confused it with wet cement this hour. How much more of a wake-up call do you need?
Elsewhere at McKinley, great news! Ryder met a great girl online and she's cute and funny and smart and perfect and definitely who she claims to be and not an imposter out to Catfish him. Just kidding! That's obviously what's happening, and it's way more than likely that the girl is actually Kitty (right?). Ryder sends her some sexy pictures, so viewers can rest assured this won't end well. (It's like Ryder has never even seen the Lifetime original movie Sexting in Suburbia!)
Ryder had also gotten himself into a bit of an issue with Unique. Ryder isn't in any position to be critiquing who is and isn't a "real" girl these days, considering he's spending all his time online with a "real" prankster. Unique had confronted him about kissing Marley, and then Unique and Ryder sang their feud out by way of Sir Elton John and Madonna. But Ryder was apparently still uncomfortable with Unique being Unique. He came around after his mysterious online dream girl explained "Not Being A Jerk 101" to him. Ryder apologized to Unique, as well as to Marley and Jake. Also, you guys, Marley and Jake are back together! You weren't concerned? Me neither. Moving on! Everyone makes up and then they all dance in the auditorium with all the Glee clubbers but Brittany. They're all in this together!
NEXT: Is Rachel pregnant?

Three Pepperdine Law professors recently shared expertise with NPR, The Daily Journal, and Fox News during the month of June.
Barry P. McDonald, professor of law, gave commentary on NPR's KPCC Air Talk with Larry Mantle radio program. The segment topic concerned free speech rights pertaining to an anti-abortion billboard in New Mexico. McDonald talked about how the Supreme Court has balanced the right to free speech and the right to privacy. "These matters are fact-intensive," said McDonald. "The Supreme Court has come up with a broad, nebulous test for determining whether a statement is of public or private concern. They ask about the content, form, and context in which the speech occurred." Listen to the segment.
McDonald teaches courses in constitutional law, First Amendment law, and intellectual property law. He has published several articles and essays on the law governing freedom of expression and religion in journals such as the Emory Law Journal, Northwestern University Law Review, Notre Dame Law Review, Ohio State Law Journal and Washington & Lee Law Review.
Richard L. Cupp, John W. Wade Professor of Law, shared expertise with The Daily Journal in an article regarding AT&T. AT&T has asked a state court judge to block wiretapping victims of ex-private investigator Anthony Pellicano from reaping damages that could reach into the billions of dollars. The question of damages under California's Privacy Act is "unclear," said Cupp because wiretapping victims may not necessarily suffer financial harm or emotional distress, but "there's an affront to your dignity that should be compensated," he said.
While Cupp said it seemed "extreme" to fine Pacific Bell $5,000 per call, he also said a key issue was whether the rogue Pacific Bell employees were acting in furtherance of their company's objective. That issue is critical to determine whether the doctrine of "respondeat superior" - where employers can be held responsible for the actions of employees performed within the course of their employment - should be applied. "Here, there's no AT&T or Pac Bell business advantage or purpose in wiretapping people," Cupp said, but "respondeat superior is difficult to apply in a logically consistent manner."
Cupp is widely recognized as a leading scholar and commentator in the fields of torts and products liability law. He has authored more than 20 significant scholarly articles and numerous shorter articles.
Gregory S. McNeal, associate professor of law, was a guest on Fox News, where he discussed the recent report released by the Global Commission on Drug Policy. McNeal is a national security specialist focusing on the institutions and challenges associated with global security, with substantive expertise in national security law and policy, criminal law, and international law. His legal scholarship has been published by the Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy, The Richmond Law Review, and The DePaul Law Review.

CALGARY -- Alberta regulators have approved the MacKay River oil-sands project, a planned 150,000-barrel-a-day project in the northern part of the province jointly owned by Canada' s Athabasca Oil Sands Corp. and China' s PetroChina Co.
Calgary-based Athabasca Oil Sands, which owns 40% of MacKay Operating Corp., the joint-venture company, said in a statement that MacKay River is expected to start up in 2014. Phase 1 is expected to produce 35,000 barrels a day of oil.
As reported, PetroChina paid about C$1.9 billion in 2009 to buy a 60% stake in two oil-sands projects owned by Athabasca Oil Sands.
The commercial application for MacKay River was filed in December 2009. The project has now obtained full regulatory approval from the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board and Alberta Environment and Water.

If you want to watch how I perform piercings, you can see me doing them in graphic detail here: http://clips4sale.com/10557. There's also a great video of me examining different configurations of female anatomy and describing which piercings are possible and where exactly they chould be placed. They aren't meant as "how-to" videos, but they do show a lot about how I do what I do.
It has been a long time since I posted a new video on my clips4sale store.
The newest is of me performing a 10 gauge ampallang piercing (horizontally through the penis head) on a gentleman who already has a stretched Prince Albert piercing. It was shot during my visit to California last month, when I was guest piercing at Anomaly Piercing in Pasadena.
Oh, and it may surprise you to hear his comment: his nipple piercings were more intense than his ampallang (though I didn't perform them for him).
Note: it isn't SFW, and you have to be 18 years of age or older to view it.
My partner and I both have a PA, frenum ladder, and scrotum ladders. Our piercings are now at a stage were we have resumed a lot of our activities but when we were getting these piercings we did not think to ask this. Is it safe with these piercings for electric play or is the jewelry to much of a conductor?
Any info you can give me on this would be appreciated.
I just wanted to let you know how excited I was to have you do my ampallang yesterday.
I have got so much out of your book as well as getting a feel for the person you are, someone quite intelligent, passionate and dedicated to her craft. Upon meeting you it's easy to see that you are all of that and a lot more.
I love the piercing, I think it looks totally 'hot'. I haven't been able to stop looking at it!!
And your placement was 'exactly' where I wanted it. It has been bleeding just a bit but otherwise it feels fine.
I could not believe that it didn't hurt nearly as bad as what I was anticipating, but I can imagine that having this piercing done with someone not as skilled could indeed make it much more traumatic.
Thank you again!!!!
It looks as though my Southern California visit will include some guest piercing. I believe I'll be scheduling appointments on May 13 (hours to be determined)

A BlackBerry Payments Application In The Works
A tip was sent in about a really great app that's being tested. It's a mobile funds transfer/payments application from eCom Financial Corp., who are known for their MasterCard Gift Cards that are prepaid debit cards that are non reloadable and not associated with a pin. Their cards are very secure, using a CID but no information on how much is on the card.
All the user will need is a BlackBerry and a RIM/ECOM Mastercard to link to the phone. Since testing, it has proven capable of transferring funds from one BlackBerry to another or any ECOM MasterCard account. It has a dynamic icon, and allows the user to check the balances and transactions on the BlackBerry. You can make payments locally or country to country (be careful with those scammers out there).
In the works they plan to have a free download available through the BlackBerry App World, integrate with BlackBerry Wallet, load funds through online banking or MasterCard recharge network, and will have currency conversion available. You'll have the ability to pay bills from your BlackBerry and also contactless payments through the phone. The app will be free, $.25 per funds transfer will be charged, $.10 POS, $1.50 per atm cash withdrawal, and $.25 a bill pay. We're hoping this comes out soon, it would be worth the relief of knowing you can shop with your phone and your funds are safe and secure.
Hopefully this may reduce the current amount of credit/debit card fraud. What do you think of the app? Would you be likely to use it? Why or why not?

Disney-branded Pyramat gaming chairs
Sure, grownups want the latest and greatest gear, but little tykes deserve some kick-ass gadgetry too, don't you think? Pyramat is showing off a line of chairs designed to enhance the gaming experience, and the latest versions have the Disney stamp of approval.
There are two chairs in the lineup — one pink, the other dark blue. Other features are the same. The seat contains a POWERSUB subwoofer, and an array of speakers line the headrest. There are presets for games, movies and music. For even more fun, there are LED lights that flash on the bottom of the chairs. Retailing for around $120, there's no reason that adults should have all the cool toys, right?
Multi-player connections let up to eight chairs connect together for a new way to keep the kiddies entertained for hours. Want to join in on the fun? There's a loveseat design too, made for a slightly more mature crowd.

Are you a nursing educator who's looking for an interactive, engaging way to introduce your students or staff to the issue of minority health disparities? Families USA, a Washington, D.C.-based national non-partisan advocacy organization dedicated to achieving high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans, has created an innovative online tool to help you do just that—a "virtual game show" called So You Think You Know Minority Health?
Developed by Families USA's Minority Health Initiative, So You Think You Know Minority Health? is an interactive computer game—based on the popular TV quiz show Jeopardy!—that's designed to test players' knowledge of the pervasive and persistent health disparities facing people of color in America today. It can be played by anywhere from one to four people, so that students can either take the quiz on their own outside the classroom or play it as a group and compete against each other. The game simulates the audio/visual experience of being on a real TV game show, complete with theme music, avatar "contestants," audience applause and the dreaded buzzer sound that greets an incorrectly answered question.
Just like on Jeopardy!, players choose from five topic categories and try to earn points by answering questions organized in ascending order of difficulty. While the category titles on So You Think You Know Minority Health? may seem playful, the health disparities information they teach is no laughing matter:
The game also includes a resources page where players can find additional, more detailed information about minority health disparities, including links to important studies like the Institute of Medicine's Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care.
Families USA also offers many other resources to help increase awareness of minority health disparities, including fact sheets, e-newsletters, community outreach toolkits and national health policy training for communities of color.

Secret of the Theme Park on Disney's Doorstep
KISSIMMEE, Fla. ( MainStreet) -- By mid-January workers, parents and students are seeking warmth to cure their winter blues. Florida is a natural destination for sun, relaxation and fun, and is famous as the home of Walt Disney (DIS) World, which turned 40 last year with the distinction of being the world's most visited theme park -- nearly 17 million visitors in 2010, according to TEA/Aecom.
But for those who can't afford to shell out hundreds of dollars for their family in just one day, or who don't want deal with the crowds, there is a smaller and more affordable neighbor: Old Town, located about 15 minutes away in Kissimmee, Fla.
How does a small theme park compete when it has the world's largest tourist attraction right next door?By not competing at all, but instead offering a different experience altogether that is complementary to Disney, says Old Town's president, Gary Conroy. The strategy brings in roughly 2 million visitors a year. If you've never been to Old Town, the 12-acre theme park has been created to resemble small town USA during the 1950s and 1960s. There is a Main Street filled with stores and restaurants, and there's a county fair eternally visiting to provide attractions and rides. Access to the 75 shops, 21 amusement rides and a Classic Car Cruise every Saturday is free, as is parking. Visitors pay for the various attractions and rides. Old Town, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in December, appeals to families as much as Disney does. "There's many different reasons why people are coming to Old Town," Conroy says. "Our niche is to provide them with an experience that is certainly different in terms of value. Less hustle and bustle, less need to be lining up in long lines

Rocketeers issue and pistol glitch
Hello there , its my first post, i play DA 2 (obviously)
i found some bugs when playing as a rocketeers :
When i fire some rockets , then reload, and if i just change to another weapon while reloading the rocket (note that animation isnt complete donE)
i cant fire my Smg (submachine gun)
even if i try to re-reload my SMG or rocket ...i have to die to fire anything again
and sometimes the rocket glitch itself and also cant fire
now the pistol glitch :
many people may now this
when you decap a monster with pistol , the head stay still attached to the corpse , it only makes the sound of decap , and you have to wait until the monster dies , well its not a major bug, the monster still dies , but i assume that it confuses me and many people forcing us to use more ammo .
thanks i help you guys fix this.
Forgot to say , that wasnt i couldnt shoot , i could even do the firing animation . but monsters dont die and my ammo doesnt decrease , some times i can fire a rocket but dont fire my gun , or even cant fire both , but can throw a grenade.
to finish this , the last bug
sometimes the gun dont reload, or cant pick ammo from the boxes , i guess this is because of that non-firing guns with animations
i had many situations where i couldnt throw or fire anything. yea now im done with these bugs

text: Enjoy an evening out at the Prairie Theatre Exchange's new play The Dishwashers – a comedy by Morris Panych that will make you laugh as you watch, and walk out a little changed in your outlook. Emmett was once a high-rolling patron of a high-end eatery. But thanks to a recent reversal in his fortunes, he's starting a new job -- as a dishwasher in that same restaurant. His mentor is Dressler, the philosophizing ruler of all he surveys from his carefully-marked out area at the break table. His only other co-worker, Moss, appears to be the oldest living dishwasher in the world, who doesn't realize he'd been fired weeks ago. A hilarious journey "below-stairs" into the unseen, steamy world of the up-scale restaurant "dish-pit." The show runs from January 24 to February 10. For more information and to find tickets, visit Prairie Theatre Exchange.

My Co-Judge was Dale Smith from Kool FM Radio Dale is a really great cook and loves to grill. We also had other judges through the day as well join us.
Lots of hard work went into setting up the fun competition and Georgian Hot Tubs did an excellent job along with the Traeger Canada Team

Crystal Bowersox may not have gone home the winner of last season's American Idol, but she still has plenty to sing about. It has been confirmed that season nine's runner-up is engaged and is set to walk down the aisle with fellow musician Brian Walker next month.
You may remember that Bowersox broke up with the father of her 1-year-old son, Tony, just before losing in the Idol finale to Lee DeWyze. The Ohio native told Ryan Seacrest at the time that her baby daddy bailed because of the pressures that came with her being in the limelight.
"We're both logical, grown adults," she said. "He's a small town guy and it's fine. But I'm a small town girl but I want this. I want this more than anything -- this career, this lifestyle. I didn't think he was up for it. He didn't think he was up for it."
Looks like Bowersox, who is currently recording her first album, has found someone else who's more comfortable with her public lifestyle!
Do you think it's too soon for Crystal Bowersox to be marrying her new guy? Chime in below!

XBox games for girls?
|Sun, 10-09-2005 - 10:42pm
I have a 7 year old and a 5 year old - girls. We have the original Xbox and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for good games for girls around this age. I'm looking more for my older daughter than my younger one, but if they can both do it, BONUS!!
I was looking at toysrus.com - SOOOOO many to browse through! I didn't know where to begin, so I thought of this board. I'm a regular lurker. I used to post all the time, but decided I should keep my opinions to myself (ha ha ha). I know you gals all have good advice, so this was the best place to begin for me.
Thanks, in advance, for any opinions you have to share.

On the 19th January 2011, Labour chose EMA as the subject for their 'opposition day' debate. They called for the Government to rethink its plans for EMA.
Tessa speaking about ema on BBC Somerset 95.5fm 24th Jan 2011
Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Education, wants to replace EMA by finding a more targeted mechanism for supporting students from middle and lower income backgrounds. I have spoken to young people who are clear that EMA plays an important role for them, but also to some who receive the allowance and openly admit they could do without it. EMA is guaranteed funding until a student either leaves full-time education or reaches his or her 19th birthday. However, it may be that a parent's circumstances change for the better in that two or three years; nonetheless, the payments continue. For these reasons, I agree that EMA needs to be reviewed so financial support is targeted to those students who need it most.
EMA currently helps many students from poorer backgrounds start their further education by guaranteeing a regular sum of money which helps to cover the costs of attending college – whether transport (a particularly serious issue in a rural area like this) food, books, kit or equipment. Getting student funding right for AS and A2 levels is crucial, as if you can't do your A levels, you're not in a position to apply for a place at university.
I have spoken with Michael Gove to discuss the progress of plans to replace EMA and to raise many points: I asked about the County Council's legal obligations to provide transport for 16 – 18 year olds; explained the difficulties students face in paying £600+ for a bus pass; the lack of local bus services; the extra costs as the County Council removes concessions for students and reduces its bus subsidies – reducing the service still further; the impact of rising fuel prices; the costs of car insurance for young people; the expense of using taxis; the difficulties of finding part-time jobs locally; the costs of studying on courses requiring equipment (like hairdressers, chefs), uniforms (nursery nurses, car mechanics), kit (sports equipment), materials (art, photography); the ability for students to choose where to study for A levels – not just at their nearest school or college, but at the one which runs their chosen course. I sought assurances that whatever replaced EMA would in some way address the above difficulties so that support for young people was provided where it was needed.
There has been some confusion surrounding the 19th January debate. To be clear, that vote was not the substantive vote on the future of funding for 16 – 18 year old students. It was a chance for the opposition to raise the subject in Parliament, which I welcomed, as I understand the need to get the policy right.
At the end of the debate, I voted in favour of the following amended motion:
"That this House believes in full participation in education and training for young people up to the age of 18 and considers that support must be in place to allow those who face the greatest barriers to participation to access this opportunity; notes that the previous Government left this country with one of the largest budget deficits in the world and that savings have had to be made in order to avoid burdening future generations; further notes that the Government has increased funding for deprivation within the 16 to 19 budget and has already begun to replace the current education maintenance allowance system with more targeted support for those who face genuine barriers, including travel; and commits the Government to working with young people, schools and colleges and others outside and inside Parliament on arrangements for supporting students in further education and on improving access to, enthusiasm for and participation in further and higher education."
The amended motion was passed by 319 votes to 256 votes.
I will continue to scrutinize the practical implications as this policy is developed.

Dow Corning, University of Toledo Collaborate on Solar Research
"Both Dow Corning and UT want homes and businesses throughout the world to take advantage of clean, renewable energy from the sun," says Gregg Zank, senior vice president and chief technology officer of Dow Corning. "It is essential that businesses, academics and the government collaborate in order to accelerate the advancement of solar technologies."
The proposed collaboration between Dow Corning and UT, which could include the addition of other universities or businesses in the future, offers researchers from both organizations the opportunity to share data and technology while allowing both to protect their intellectual property.
Both Dow Corning and UT have been active in engaging U.S. policymakers to support alternative energy growth in the U.S. To learn more about Dow Corning's efforts to promote a comprehensive energy policy, visit www.dowcorning.com/solarpolicy.

Payment Center Direct Contact
I believe this is new and significant. Can anyone help me on this?
The general, but simple, rule is that a PC [Payment Center] employee will not refer development to the FO [Field Office] unless face to face contact is required, or where the FO is responsible for making a final determination on the issue (such as a representative payee determination).
The PC will always obtain information, statement clarifications or required evidence via DIRCON [Direct Contact with the claimant or others] unless a face to face or field contact is needed, or one of the exceptions in GN 01070.305C. or D. below applies.
