May be able to avoid surgery! I left knee started swelling up for no discernabe reason. I mean I never twisted it or fell or had some kind of accident that would cause what the MRI indicated. Which is that I have torn my carteledge on both sides of my left knee according to the interpretation by the radiologist.
My orthepedic phycician was skeptical for a number of reasons. First I never had any intence pain which is usually what is ascociated with carteledge tears. Second my symtons at the examination in her office. She felt some instability but not real bad. Third my age 54. Sometimes what looks like a tear is actually wear. So she wanted to see the MRI for herself. In the meantime she gave me 6 celebrex and a precsiption for 30. She went on to say if I was not better after the 6th Celebrex then don't fill the presciption. However I got better very quickly. I had forgotton that my Primary care physcian had given me about 20 celebrex samples earlier. I see her again on 09/13/2006 I will probably fill the script for celebrex and just wait on that orthoscopic knee surgery untill I really need it.
Very little side effects. I thought I was a little dizzy at first but that went away. Absolutely no stomach pain.
I am going to monitor my blood pressure often though because of what experience so had with the similar drugs Viox and Bextra.
Best wishes

A mecca for surfers, Cornwall has dozens of surfing beaches each with their own unique character. Why not try a lesson from one of our surf schools?

With nearly 1/3 of the county designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty you will never be short of incredible sights in Cornwall, from natural phenomenon such as the bizarre Cheesewring on the wilds of Bodmin Moor, to the causeway at St Michael's Mount or even catching a glimpse of seals lazing on the beach at Mutton Cove!

RachNRich:My initial instinct was girl. Two weeks before our elective u/s, I changed my tune and was convinced it was a boy...and, I was right (even though I was wrong at first).
Kind of this. I initially thought it would be another girl but as time went on (around 8w it started I believe) I started to think it was a boy and sure enough I have a little dude in there.
I was right with DD the entire time.

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. - "I have a son in Okinawa," said Kathleen Collver, Blue Star Mother.
Who for the second year in a row, won't be home for Christmas.
"Last year, my other son was in Afghanistan, he will be home this year," said Collver.
But next year, he'll be back in Afghanistan.
"It's the pits, it really is the pits, we're very proud of our kids in the military, we're very happy that they're doing what they feel they want to do and need to do, and that's great, but yeah, its a very difficult time emotionally," said Collver.
Collver is with the Blue Star Mothers, a group of women with family members serving in the military.
Susan Rowley's son was deployed four times in the last seven years.
"We've had Christmases without him, Thanksgivings, and its heartbreaking for a Mom and their families to know that their children are in danger for the holidays," said Susan Rowley, Blue Star Mothers Chapter President.
To help share the holiday spirit, the group boxed about 4-hundred care packages to send to troops overseas.
Items were donated from the community, and include snacks like chips and candy, as well as toothbrushes and toothpaste.
"We're sending them a little love and support and honor from Chautauqua County," said Rowley.
"Yeah, a little taste of home, so they know we're thinking of them, which we really are, I mean in a huge way," said Collver.
Volunteers were at the Kiantone Congregational Church over the weekend to gather the last load.
"This is just kinda something to give back to those who give for me, those who do things for me, like they're fighting for me, so I need to do something, to do something for them to give back," said Kazzi Leeper, Jamestown Resident.
Which leaves Collver grateful for the community support.
"I think this is America at its best," said Collver.
The packages are expected to be delivered in time for Christmas.

VASCO Data Security Int., CEO Discusses Q3 2010 Results – Earnings Call Transcript
Consequently, actual results could differ materially from the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements. I direct your attention to the company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of such risks and uncertainties in this regard.
Today, we are going to review the results for the third quarter of 2010. As always, we will host a question-and-answer session after the conclusion of management's prepared remarks. If possible, I would like to budget one hour total for this conference call. If you can limit your questions to one or two, it would be appreciated.
Revenues for Q3 were $26.3 million, an increase of 19% compared to the third quarter 2009. Revenues reflected strong growth in both banking and enterprise and applications security. Our revenues from our banking market increased 20% over Q3 2009. Revenues from our enterprise and application security markets increased 17% over Q3 2009. Q3 2010 was our 31st consecutive positive quarter in terms of operating income. Our gross profit for the quarter was 71% of revenue and our operating income was 10% of revenue.
Our business mix between banking which provide higher volume, lower margin and non-banking which provides lower volume, higher margin resulted in continuing healthy gross margin of 70% for the first nine months of 2010. Non-banking revenue was 24% in Q3 and 28% for the first nine months in 2010. This compares to 25% in Q3 a year ago and 27% for the first nine months of 2009. Also contributing to the healthy gross margin was the gross of our non-hardware revenue which was 26% versus 24% in Q3 and 25% versus 23% year-to-date compared to this same period a year ago.During the quarter, we sold an additional 387 new accounts including 50 new banks and 337 new Enterprise and Application Security customers. This compares to the third quarter a year ago in which we sold 350 new accounts including 56 banks and 294 enterprise and applications security customers. We now have over 10,000 customers including more than 1,500 banks in more than 100 countries. Although management considers the number of new customers as an indicator of the momentum of our business and effectiveness of our distribution channel, the number of new customers is not indicative of future revenue.

In this particular case of course, the Depth header *is* used for LOCK (just only when creating new locks). So the options for LOCK refresh are: 1) server MUST respect Depth header, possibly changing the lock scope 2) server MAY respect Depth header, possibly changing the lock scope 3) server SHOULD ignore Depth header 4) server MUST ignore Depth header As 4) is what currently everybody seems to implement, I'd propose to choose that interpretration and clarify in RFC2518bis.

The Poker Reporter Blog
10 Hilarious, Imaginative or Unsettling Poker Video AdvertsCreated By: PokerListings.com
Make no mistake. Poker is a game mainly played by guys, so there will be a lot of sex and beer in these clips.
But there are other things, too. There are many creative people in this industry, and you'll see a lot of that here.
1) The Best Poker Face
In this ad for the World Poker Crown, a man keeps his cool in extreme situations – except in one.
2) Hygiene
Actually, poker is not the focus of this one here but beer certainly is. Also sex, in some way.
3) The Massacre
This is one of the banned poker adverts you can only find online. There couldn't be more blood even if Quentin Tarantino was behind the camera.
4) The Classic
One of the best known clips of its kind. Phil Ivey unmoved in the face of every man's horror is unique.
5) The Elevator
John Juanda shows in this clip that he's pretty much on the same level as Ivey. The question is rather why he would even be in this ad?
6) Poker Film Noir
Less of a typical ad, but almost movie-like qualities plus a great soundtrack qualify this atmospheric clip for our top ten list.
7) The Ladies
Sex doesn't only sell, it also bets.
8) Hand Ranking
Remember the Village People? You will when you see this but you won't understand before the great punchline at the end.
9) The Sit-and-Go
You've probably seen this on TV. The perfect example of how poker, the great equalizer, unites people from all countries and classes.
10) Russian Roulette
This is a hidden gem. You think you know what's coming, but the punch line is also one of the most hated phrases in poker. (One of the reasons why we wouldn't recommend registering.)

Posted by Rob McGarr, 26 August 2010
Olivia Wilde probably isn't what you'd call 'A-list'. So here's a quick recap on who she is:
She was born on the 10th of March 1984 and christened Olivia Jane Cockburn. She's an Irish-American actress and model. That means she's Irish-American and makes a living acting and modelling, not that she models things that are Irish-American and has acting roles portraying Irish-American people. Thought we'd better make that clear; language can be a cruel, cruel mistress.
She first burst onto our radar in The O.C, playing a very sexy and very bisexual 'Alex' who couldn't keep herself from snogging other sexy girls, including, wonderfully, Mischa Barton.
Since then, she's done loads of other films and telly and stuff, but when you get your big break tonguing Mischa Barton, you might as well just retire and reflect on an excellent career.
If you hadn't noticed yet, Olivia Wilde is hot. Our editorial integrity prevents us from using terms like H-O-T-T hott, but if it didn't, we'd use it here. But it does. So we won't.
We don't like the 'chav facelift' but she's still hot as hell
She once topped Maxim's Hot 100. She once came 95th in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women. Standards, y'see.
Megan Fox once said that Olivia is so sexy she makes her want to "strangle a mountain ox with her bare hands". And Megan Fox knows a thing or two about sexy.
En-ee-way… the point of the story was meant to be that Olivia Wilde has been hitting the gym before filming a nude scene for her forthcoming film, Cowboys and Aliens, but we've run out of time now, so you'll just have to make do with the pictures instead.
1/ Olivia Wilde in Russia!
1/ Liz Hurley's breasts are REAL lovely
2/ Britney: If you can't beat Lady Gaga, join her
3/ Sofia Vergara is in the kitchen

Sexy – if drug-addled – Marissa Cooper in long-running Californian TV show The OC.
Arrested in 2007 for driving under the influence and without a licence.
Appeared in Notting Hill, St Trinian's and You And I – a film about faux-lesbian Russian popsters t.A.T.u.
She's also appeared in videos for Enrique Iglesias and James Blunt.
Olivia originally auditioned for the role of Marissa in The O.C but lost out to Mischa Barton but she eventually got to play Marissa's girlfriend instead.
She claims to have a crush on Angelina Jolie. Doesn't everyone, though?
Being an Irish-American, Olivia took her stage name from Irish writer Oscar Wilde.

BF's female "friend"
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 06-22-2011 - 11:42am
My boyfriend has this female friend that I am almost certain still has feelings for him. She is recently divorced with a child and just moved back to town. Apparently he is the first person she called and they went out for drinks. They're not close. And never were. They never dated but she expressed feelings for him (before we met) and he was not interested. Then she got married and moved away.
I don't have a problem with him having female friends. But this one I don't trust. And he met her for drinks and didn't tell me about it. I found out from a mutual friend. When I asked him why he would feel the need to keep that from me he said he wasn't trying to hide anything and there is nothing between them.
Well I finally met her 2 nights ago and not only was she rude to me, but everytime I would step away from him for a minute she would move in right next to him. Even other people noticed and asked what was going on with this girl. It was at a friend's birthday party. Apparently my boyfriend hooked up this girl with one of his friends.
|Wed, 06-22-2011 - 6:35pm
I think you should tell him that you noticed she was very friendly to him at the party while being rude to you & that other people noticed and that you would feel uncomfortable if the 2 of them went out alone--he can see her in a group or bring you.

Welcome back, Mel272010 ~
For those who aren't familiar, who need a refresher and so that you can have the chance to re-read it,
|Thu, 06-23-2011 - 12:45am
Since you posted about more concerns with your boyfriend three months ago, I have to assume this is the same boyfriend, right?
He has a huge history of lying to you, from early on to recently.
|Thu, 06-23-2011 - 3:40pm
That is exactly why I have such a problem with it. I just wanted to reinforcement so that I know I'm not crazy. :) Given our history, he knows my trust issues with him, and he knows why. He tells me that he didn't realize what he was doing or that it would be so hurtful to me. Then this situation comes up and I'm like so was all that b.s? Or is he really just as naive about my feelings as he claims to be?

Thanks all for the thumb up. Yup, 90% of it is seeing, most of the rest is trying to not get carried away with the image processing. The DMK21 camera is totally killer.

Very nice and sharp!

Very nice and sharp!
I continue to be blown away with the quality of images shot with video through small scopes. The Stellarvue 102ED optics are most excellent. Equipment sure has come a long way since I started working with video in 1999.
Posted 31 March 2009 - 11:28 AM
That is an amazing shot. The 102ED is proving itself quite well in your hands. I think the scope is great, but you also have to take credit for these excellent results.

Shower door
Barbara from Livonia, MI– Verified Buyer
We have had some leaking, but it may be a user issue. We have another shower door similar to this but it has an additional piece on the bottom of the door that prevents any water from getting thru. Not sure why this one doesn't have it.
Simply Elegant
Janet from Crystal, MN– Verified Buyer
Love, love, love this door. Exactly what I wanted and for the right price. Such and elegant looking tub door. Really makes the bathroom. Exactly as advertise. Easy install and easy cleaning.
Looks Great
Grace from California– Verified Buyer
The quality of this frameless sliding tub door is what I expected. It looks great.
Looks high-end, but hard to maintain...
Sun from Arlington, VA– Verified Buyer
This is the most expensive tub door Ive ever purchased in my life so I cannot compare this with other expensive tub doors. Here are my thoughts
Not great..
R. from Virginia– Verified Buyer
It looks beautiful! But, the quality isn't very good quality. There is an inch gap between the tub and the glass door so water escapes through. And only one side of the door opens.
Very chic looking
Jerry from Falls Church, VA– Verified Buyer
Everythings great make sure your tub is big since it may reduce your shower space by about 15 or so

Tempe is likely to name an interim city manager this week to fill in for Will Manley, who will retire later this month.
Manley has recommended assistant city manager Jeff Kulaga for the temporary job, and the City Council will vote on the matter Thursday. Kulaga would run the city until the council appoints a permanent replacement, probably this fall.
Kulaga has worked for Tempe for three years and is not seeking the post permanently.
Manley announced his retirement a month ago, saying he was burnt out after 6 ½ years in the job. His last day will be Aug. 31.

So I have been working in one particular file on AutoCAD 2007 for the past 6 months. Just until about a month ago this was not a problem at all. Most times when I try to Fillet something I get the error Message "Lines are Non Coplanar" Since this problem has started I have never changed the way I do things. I do Not know how to draw in 3D in AutoCAD, and have never tried to. I just use the Line command and all the other standard 2D commands in the toolbar. When I change views to a 3D view it shows some of my drawings as 3D, but not all the lines in that one drawing are 3D.
I have looked all over the AutoCAD website for help with this, I tried the 2 methods I found that are supposed to help fix this problem. The first one worked for like 10 minutes, and then the problem came back. The second one didn't work at all.
Is it something I am doing?? Please help me. Nobody else in my office knows how to fix it, and neither do I.
Thank you very much. .

Since there is always a Z elevation to everything on screen, and AutoCAD is a 3D program, your Z settings are being influenced by objects in your file.
Rotate the view in 3D and explore your model from the Front or side instead of the top, it might reveal where these other objects reside.
In new files, set ELEV to 0 (zero) and explore OSNAPZ variable (if 2007 has it).
When I download the CHZ20 It comes up as a .VLX file, which my computer doesnt recognize. How do I make the download operable to use?
Same as LSP file, use APPLOAD to load it.

In another place, at another time, Eric Mangini would not have been fired. So he didn't win many games this season with the Cleveland Browns. Neither did Gary Kubiak in Houston. But Kubiak is back and Mangini is not because the Houston Texans have the patience that Cleveland does not.
That is not a knock on the Browns. It's an observation.
|Jake Delhomme's turnover tendencies didn't help settle Eric Mangini's QB problem in Cleveland. (Getty Images)
"I really believe this was a different situation than what I went through in New York [with the Jets]," he said Tuesday morning, "because there it was all about trying to figure out who you are and how well you can do with your next chance. But in two years here my growth professionally and personally has been tremendous. I think I feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin, and that was huge for me.
"What I know now is that you don't microwave success. You build something to last, and that takes a lot of hard work, discipline and patience. Pittsburgh is a great example of that, and it's reflected by its record."
Mangini did what he was supposed to do, which was to lay a foundation for the future and return the Browns to respectability. I don't care that they were 5-11 this season. I care that he took a team that didn't have an abundance of talent but did have an abundance of injuries, as well as the NFL's toughest schedule, and made it a factor.
The Browns were the last team to beat New England. They clobbered defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans in New Orleans. They beat defending AFC North champion Cincinnati, ending a streak of eight straight division wins. They should have beaten Tampa Bay and the New York Jets. They didn't but they also didn't have the players or the talent those clubs did, with Mangini forced to play half the season with his third-string quarterback, rookie Colt McCoy, and without defensive captains Scott Fujita and Robaire Smith.
So injuries happen. They happened in all the wrong places for Cleveland, and they doomed the head coach. Look, I don't know that Mangini would've made it had he beaten Buffalo and Cincinnati or not gotten hammered by Pittsburgh at home in the season finale. But I do know that he didn't have a chance once he couldn't steer clear of those defeats.
That's supposed to be OK because that's life in the NFL. But it shouldn't be OK for Mangini because he did what he was supposed to do -- put the Cleveland Browns back on the map. Yes, you would have liked him to win more, but he made the Browns something they were not, which was relevant -- and if you don't believe me, ask the Patriots.
|Cleveland Browns

"When I look back at what we accomplished, I think we dramatically changed the culture of the building and the organization. Football became relevant again in Cleveland," he said. "People were passionate about the team again, and I think that came from the passion of the players. The city felt it, and was excited about it.
"I'm proud of that, and I'm proud of the guys we had there. They're the types of players that you can build with because there are mentors now in the locker room. Because of that I think the Cleveland Browns have a chance to build something special."
They do, and it would have been nice to see Mangini have that chance to build it with them. But Jerry Glanville was right when he said the NFL stands for Not For Long. Josh McDaniels lasted a year-and-a-half in Denver. Mike Singletary was around for two-plus seasons in San Francisco. Brad Childress was fired a year after signing a contract extension. Tony Sparano may be gone after three years in Miami, and Tom Cable's future is in doubt after winning every game within the AFC West.
Mangini should've known this season wasn't going to be easy. It never is when the team's president and GM didn't hire you. But Mangini also knew what he had to do -- make a bulletproof case for himself -- and he failed, with consecutive losses to Buffalo and Cincinnati almost certainly cementing his fate.
So he was fired and now considers life after Cleveland. Already, he said, he has been contacted by college and pro teams looking to hire him, but he's in no hurry to make the next move -- and he shouldn't be. Instead of the first opportunity, he must look for the right one. In the end, Cleveland was not that place. The Browns are on the clock, and team president Mike Holmgren and Mangini come from completely different backgrounds, so it's no surprise their one-year marriage didn't last.
It's to Holmgren's credit that he stuck with his head coach after Mangini's first season, but I don't know many within the NFL who thought it could survive beyond this season. Nevertheless, Mangini declined to fault Holmgren for his dismissal. He knew the Browns had to make something dramatic happen, and they didn't. And when the team collapsed down the stretch it was over. Holmgren didn't have to say it; those empty seats in the second half of Sunday's loss said it for him.
"I'm not sure what I would've done differently," Mangini said. "I think at that moment we made the right decisions. In retrospect, there are a lot of things I might have done, but based on the information we had at the time we did the best we could. I know I wish we could've finished games better. I'm not sure what exactly broke down, and I would've studied that in the offseason -- trying to determine what was the difference in the first half and the second half."
What could have been the difference for Cleveland this season was its quarterback, and I say "could have been" because I don't know if the Browns found themselves a future starter or not. Once I thought I did. But, the Colt McCoy I watched in his first five starts was different from the quarterback I saw finish the season.
Of course, that was an issue with the Browns all year, and it started with Jake Delhomme. He was supposed to solidify a position so unstable that in 2009 Mangini won five games with his quarterbacks completing a total of 33 passes in those victories. So the Browns imported Delhomme, and he responded by committing a raft of errors -- including two interceptions in the season-opening loss to Tampa Bay, a game where the Browns blew a 14-3 lead.
"[The Browns] need more playmakers on offense," said Mangini. "Ben Watson had 68 catches, and that was a huge upgrade for us. Peyton Hillis did a really good job, but there was no back behind him, and once he was hurt [he broke two ribs in a Dec. 26 loss to Baltimore] it really slowed him down."
Yet despite all that, the Browns hung tough for most of the year. They were one of the league's toughest outs, and don't ask me how Mangini or his coaches managed with the roster they had. But they did.
"I know we were on the right path," Mangini said, "and I think the city was disappointed we didn't win more -- as we were. But I'm proud of the way the guys played and how hard they played, and that's the first step. There's not a sense of loss or regret because I couldn't be more proud of the guys and the changes we made, and that's the first step in creating something special. If that's going to be my legacy here then I look at it positively."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The Forks a place for fun and life
I quite like Allen Mills, enjoy his company and I'm always pleased to publish his stuff, which is consistently provocative and incisive.
That doesn't mean I always agree with Allen, and I certainly don't agree with his glib dismissal of a water park at the The Forks.
"Would you put a water park at the gates of Auschwitz?" he asked in a one-sentence letter to the editor Friday.
I suppose, if he thought about it at all, he thought he was being arch, perhaps droll and I know that others thought it very clever.
But I found the one-liner offensive and sneering. And in aid of what?
I've been to Auschwitz, with Elie Wiesel and several hundred Jews. I would not dream of -- cannot countenance -- blithely demeaning that place or that experience to riposte against proponents of a water park, of all things.
But it's not just letter writers who seem to have lost perspective. That Auschwitz and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights are somehow equivalent has been an undercurrent running through criticism of the water-park proposal for weeks.
But they are not equivalent. They are opposite.
Auschwitz was a slaughterhouse where 7,000 people for four and half years killed and cremated one million Jews and 100,000 non-Jews.
It is a stain on, a corruption of, humanity. It also is a profoundly spiritual place, awesomely sorrowful and tragic beyond measure.
The museum, on the other hand, is an architecturally magnificent place where thousands and eventually millions will be able learn of, yes, the horrors of human rights degradation, but also the glory of human rights affirmation.
The pious sanctimony that some attach to the museum simply misses the point. The Forks was never intended to be a place for hair shirts and flagellation and the arrival of the museum should not change that. The children's museum is not going anywhere, nor are the boat rides, the skateboard park, the outdoor performances, the fireworks, the buskers the happy throngs.
This week, a midway has been set up across from the museum. A photo of it on the front page of the Free Press captured perfectly what has been happening, and should continue to happen, at The Forks. It's a meeting place, not a funeral parlour.
If people insist on it becoming a morbid place they do a disservice to The Forks, the museum and themselves.
The Forks is about life, good life -- free life. And that is what the museum must be about if it is to have any useful impact on humanity. A water park filled with happy children is a splendid response to inhumanity.
That the proposed water park might be too small is something to debate, as is its design. That it will offend museum visitors is ridiculous and elitist.

Fringe buskers 'working twice as hard for half the money'
The priority for organizers of this summer's Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival was simple: keep the indoor ticket sales steadily increasing while whipping up much larger crowds for buskers in Old Market Square.
The latter hasn't happened and out-of-town street performers have endured what they call a trying week.

"I don't think any of us have done well enough to justify coming back, says Eden, a Vancouver street entertainer. "There has been a solidarity in misery among the performers."
"I never say never but at this moment I'd be surprised if I came back," says Rob Firenix, a New Zealand resident renowned for his Comedy Circus Fireshow. "On any Saturday night I'd be expecting to make four times what I was making last weekend."
Indoor attendance is on another record pace -- 85,000-87,000 seems doable. In 2009 the fest crashed through the 8,000 tickets mark for the first time. This year it has exceeded the mark four times already. That's brought smiles to most indoor performers but not if you are entertaining under the sun and stars.
The buskers who depend on passing the hat to make their living have lamented the small audiences, the reluctant spectators and the not always generous patrons. Firenix has been to fringe festivals all over the world from Edinburgh to Adelaide and notices in Winnipeg the lack of tourists up for spending their money and having fun.
More worrisome, he says, is the public reaction to fringers who have had the run the gauntlet of panhandlers, drunks and drug-sellers to get to the square.
"There are so many of them that when we ask people for money after our shows we get lumped into the category of a beggar," says Firenix, 36, originally from England. "As a consequence there is a reluctance for people to engage us which so important for our art form. It's a two-way experience."
Anyone who has sat down to watch a street performer over the last week will know of their incessant appeal to come closer to the action near the stage of The Cube. Too many fringers are camped on the cement walls surrounding the infield and are reluctant to move, some due to the fear of being picked out and made to participate in the show.
The situation has been frustrating for the buskers and some of them have reacted with what one viewer Kevin Wolk, said was a rant about their tough working conditions. He complained about the terrible outdoor set-up and absence of crowds.
"I felt embarrassed and bad about what he had to say so I went and talked to him after the shows," says Wolk, a proud fringe-goer. "He said in Edmonton he can take in up to $1,000 a show where here he'll only make enough money to get back to Vancouver.
Firenix reacted to the poor crowds by conducting a workshop on street performances as part of his show and educate Winnipeggers about the interactive art form. Usually his act involves 15 minutes of audience-building and 30 minutes of performance. In Winnipeg, he is spending 45 minutes gathering on-lookers.
"I'm working twice as hard for half the money," he says.
Fest executive producer Chuck McEwen says he doesn't expect outdoor attendance to grow much. Rain has caused a soggy infield on the square and a general unwillingness to sit anywhere but on the surrounding wall.
McEwen recognizes that these artists need financial help.
"We need to increase our budget and give these artists more of an incentive to come, providing them with airfare or a per diem so their basics are covered," he says. "If we had an extra $15,000-$20,000 we could bring in a half dozen professional street performers."

Therapeutic Areas
Spinal Muscular Atrophy Program
PTC is committed to the development of treatments for rare and neglected disorders. Building on that commitment, PTC collaborated with the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Foundation in 2006 to utilize PTC's Alternative Splicing technology platform to identify and develop new small-molecule therapeutics for use in the treatment or prevention of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a neuromuscular disease and the leading genetic cause of death among infants and toddlers.
In late 2011, Roche joined the collaboration to help further develop and commercialize compounds that has been identified from PTC's efforts. Under the terms of the agreement, Roche gained an exclusive worldwide license to PTC's SMA program; PTC received $30 million as an upfront payment and may receive up to $460 million upon successful completion of certain development and commercialization milestones, and up to double-digit royalties on commercial sales. Clinical development is overseen by a joint steering committee comprised of members from Roche, PTC and the SMA Foundation.
Results of preclinical studies demonstrating that treatment with orally available splicing modifiers of the SMN2 gene starting early after birth prevented disease manifestations in mouse models of SMA were published in the journal Science on August 8, 2014. Scientists from Roche Pharma Research and Early Development (pRED), PTC Therapeutics, Inc., the SMA Foundation, the University of Southern California and Harvard University collaborated to demonstrate that continuous treatment of SMA mice with these compounds increased life span, normalized body weight, and prevented both disease-related motor dysfunction and neuromuscular deficits in a mouse model of SMA.
The researchers used chemical screening and optimization against proprietary assays developed at PTC to identify orally bioavailable small molecules that selectively modify the splicing of the SMN2 pre-mRNA to produce stable full length SMN protein. These splicing modifiers corrected the alternative splicing of the SMN2 gene and increased SMN protein levels in cultured cells obtained from SMA patients, including iPS cell-derived motor neurons. When evaluated in vivo, the SMN2 splicing modifiers penetrated into all tissues tested, including brain, spinal cord, and muscle; modified SMN2 alternative splicing toward the generation of the full length mRNA; and increased SMN protein production in the disease relevant tissues in two mouse models of SMA. As a result of the SMN protein increase, the compounds prevented the progression of the disease in a severe SMA mouse model. A Phase I clinical program to assess safety and tolerability with investigational compounds was initiated in early 2014.

So while she can't swim yet obviously only having passed level 1 and 2, she is much much more confident. I am going to sign her up for summer camp at a wave pool this year and part of the day is spent on swimming lessons so she'll be further along by fall for regular lessons. I can't swim very well at all (can make it across the pool but that's about it) so I want to make sure she has some skills so I feel more confident when we're alone with no lifeguard. I am always afraid if something happened I couldn't help her.
She's turning 8 tomorrow by the way, so this has not been a quick process but now she's into it I want to keep encouraging her.

Crome Yellow
|Aldous Huxley
|United Kingdom
|Chatto & Windus
Publication date
|Media type
|Print (Hardback)
|307 pp
Crome Yellow is the first novel by British author Aldous Huxley, published in 1921. In the book, Huxley satirises the fads and fashions of the time. It is the story of a house party at Crome, a parodic version of Garsington Manor, home of Lady Ottoline Morrell, a house where authors such as Huxley and T. S. Eliot used to gather and write.
The book contains a brief pre-figuring of Huxley's later novel, Brave New World. Mr. Scogan, one of the characters, describes an "impersonal generation" of the future that will "take the place of Nature's hideous system. In vast state incubators, rows upon rows of gravid bottles will supply the world with the population it requires. The family system will disappear; society, sapped at its very base, will have to find new foundations; and Eros, beautifully and irresponsibly free, will flit like a gay butterfly from flower to flower through a sunlit world."
Crome Yellow is in the tradition of the English country house novel, as practiced by Thomas Love Peacock, in which a diverse group of characters descend upon an estate to leech off the host. They spend most of their time eating, drinking, and holding forth on their personal intellectual conceits. There is little plot development.
The book satirically describes a number of 'types' of the period. The house party is viewed largely through the eyes of the naive young poet Denis Stone. Denis is enamored of Anne Wimbush, who seems more interested in the artist Gombauld. The quiet and hard-of-hearing Jenny often hides behind her red journal. Mary, decisive and yet naïve, decides to embark on an amorous adventure. Mr. Wimbush, the owner of Crome, has been writing a history of the house and its family, of which extracts are given. His wife is obsessed with spiritualism. Other characters include the pompous literary hack Mr. Barbecue-Smith, the cynical Mr. Scogan (who has elements of Bertrand Russell and of Norman Douglas), the libertine Ivor Lombard, and the ascetic and melancholy Vicar and his wife.[1]

"The colors are gorgeous-ordered on line because I have exact same style in dif color. Sizing was way off. Took to a DSw store and bought one size larger and they are perfect. Odd sizing and maybe a bit narrow for a true med width but fit me perfectly. Giving 4 stars though because I LOVE the colors, but forewarned, sizing is weird."

Awesome looking!
"I would buy these sandals based on looks alone! I really want Teva sandals to work...but they never do! The strap closest to my toes just isn't in the right place. Adjusting the velcro strap doesn't help the situation. I really wish Teva made sandals with more arch support, and there really isn't a lot of cushion."

I really liked the battery life and water resistanc After looking at the Bose, Jawbone, and Beats offerings, I chose the UE Boom. I really liked the battery life and water resistance of the speaker. The price is among the highest for this type of speaker, but the sound quality and features are worth every penny. I bring this speaker when I travel as well as use it at the beach and pool. There is no problem being able to hear it at a noisy beach and it fills a large hotel room with beautiful sound. It is more then loud enough without being distorted at all. I highly recommend this speaker. …

It is easy for anybody to connect to via bluetooth, and the app allows you to create settings for the best sound for where you are. You can even pair two speakers should you happen to own two of them. I really appreciate the alarm, as you can set it up to have a specific playlist of songs to wake up to.
Cons: I took this kayaking once, and it was really hard to get the right sound. No matter the settings or placement, it was too loud where I was, and my friends who weren't very far away from me could BARELY hear the music. My phone speakers carried sound much better. Everywhere else I've taken it (outside of water) the sound balanced nicely. …

Like everything in the booming state, taxis can't keep up with the demand.
MINOT, N.D. - Hailing a taxi is getting more difficult in North Dakota's oil patch.
It's yet another side effect of the population increase that's come with the oil boom that's brought to the state prosperity and the nation's lowest unemployment rate.
Requests for taxi service have jumped significantly in the past couple of years, said Dave Hase, manager of Taxi 9000. Wait times for taxis have gone from virtually nil to easily 30 minutes, he said.
"It's tough getting everybody picked up in a reasonable time," Hase told the Minot Daily News. "It gets stressful."
North Dakota is the nation's second-largest oil-producing state, trailing only Texas. The statewide prosperity it's brought has translated into the lowest unemployment rate in the country, drawing thousands of newcomers to the region looking for work.
The state has an oil-driven budget surplus that is expected to reach $1.6 billion by June.
But with the prosperity have come difficulties. It's tough to find housing, and hotels in the region often are booked months in advance. Airports are struggling to keep up with increased flight demands, helping to tax the taxi companies.
Another complication: Passengers are more regularly requesting to leave the city limits. Chris Braun, manager of Central Cab, said her cabs have taken people into Minnesota, Montana and South Dakota.
Central Cab launched about 10 months ago. Braun said that since then, it's started taking twice as long to drive across town because there's more traffic.
Hase and Braun said it's become difficult to find employees. To be eligible to drive a cab, applicants must pass a background test to qualify for the appropriate license.
Central Cab has had a more difficult time finding dispatchers than recruiting drivers, Braun said. Turnover has been high, she added, though it seems to be easing. "I definitely have a crew now that enjoys what they do," she said.
The company is looking to expand its contract services, such as shuttling for more hotels. "There's always room for growth," Braun said.

WOE: Atkins
Start Date: August 2012
New to Century Club
I have been a member of this forum since May 2013, but I haven't gotten serious about following Atkins until this past week. My sister and I are totally committed to this woe. My sister has already lost about 10 pounds so far. I am pretty sure I've lost, but I don't weigh myself because I've had a bad relationship with scales in the past. I know when I'm losing and when I'm not. I weigh about 320 and I would be happy to get to 200 pounds. I have lost 100 pounds 4 times in my life and each time I gained it all back plus some. (I'm sure no one else has ever had that experience....) Each time before, I followed low-cal, low-fat diets--and wound up with a very nice case of bulimia for about 5 years. I also was in a rehab facility for 8 months--via an "intervention". It was a HORRIBLE experience. Not long after I left (against "doctor's" orders) I gained the 80 pounds I lost (by force) plus some. While there, I was verbally and emotionally abused by my "therapist" who had a long history of doing the same to other patients. That's another LONG story...
Anyway, I am following Atkins and just need some support. I need to know that there are people like myself who have lost 100 pounds or more following Atkins or another low-carb program.
I am 62 years old, semi-retired, and I have a number of handicaps which stunt my mobility--I have neuropathy in my feet (feels like I'm walking on sharp shards of rock) and a very bad left knee that should have been replaced years ago. I have no health insurance at present, so surgery is not an option at this point. So, right now, my health issues can only be resolved by losing weight. I believe that my diabetes can be controlled (cured) with eliminating carbs from my diet.
So, that is my story. I look forward to participating here and elsewhere on this forum. Thanks for having me!

Sadie- Glad you are here!! I lost 110lbs on low carb about 9 years ago and gained it all back plus more. I have bad knees and other health prob. that keep me from exercising as much as I would like. I began again May 27th and plan to continue this WOE. It will be the only way I can stay healthy!
I invite you to the 300+ Fall Thread and The Halloween Challenge Thread. I love the support and friendship and challenges always keep us on our toes.

Oncloud9now2: Thanks so much! It helps to know that there are people like myself who have lots of weight to lose and with physical disabilities. Where do I find the "300+ Fall Thread" and the "Halloween Challenge Thread"? I've looked at a number of threads here that I thought I would like to join, but most of them require a weekly weigh-in. I don't have a scale and have no intention of getting one.
Again, thanks for the support!

Although cannot comment on longevity, so far this thing is working well. No leaking, and the bite is a bit less comfortable for me than camelbak, but not at all distracting.

2 Stocks I Am Buying While Others Are Afraid
Greenfield's analysis is as absurd as it is thin and meaningless. It would be like me pointing to the disparity in the number of reviews users have written for the Pandora app (633,606) vs. the Songza platform (4,747). That's just another piece of out-of-context tripe.
Greenfield would then point to the fact that Songza has a higher review rating than Pandora (more tripe, but he actually included it in his analysis).
The ax Greenfield wields at Pandora makes his bearishness appear personal.
In the same report, he notes that Apple's (AAPL) integration of Siri into the car levels "the playing field for music applications..." He goes on to snark:
While Pandora issues one or more press releases a week talking about their car integration, Apple enabling Siri in your car means voice commands will enable easy navigation of your smart phone apps (Songza, Spotify, Rdio, Pandora, etc), eliminating Pandora's current integration advantage."One or more press releases a week..." Interesting. You do not need credentials to access Pandora's Investor Relations Web site. How about one or two a month that discuss in-car integration. And exactly how does the Siri development "eliminate Pandora's current integration advantage"? Did satellite radio "eliminate" terrestrial radio's integration advantage? Did Pandora eliminate satellite radio's integration advantage? Of course not. The sky is not falling. Integration is more about brand building and less about access. Certainly access matters, but if there's a will, there's a way to take what you want to hear with you -- with or without Siri and with or without integration. This is 2012. Simply stated, this is how business, particularly in the tech/Internet/new media space rolls. It does not stand still. We're in the middle of an exciting time period. Entrepreneurs from across the globe are creating, reinventing, tinkering and disrupting. It's a beautiful time. Spotify is fantastic. Songza is as well. I would guess that the founders of each of those companies have deep respect for one another. And they realize some will win, some will lose, some will join forces and more than a few will coexist. It's too bad analysts such as Greenfield do not have more respect for the intellectual capacity of the people who consume their "notes." This is not the first time he has urged concern with respect to Pandora. At some point, it becomes less about the actual merits of a business model or a stock and more about whether or not an analyst can make him or herself look good and ultimately correct.
