Services provided to patients here are for anyone requiring physical therapy services. Evidence-based research is implemented in the care provided to each individual and the outcomes are tracked to ensure we are doing everything we can do to achieve results as efficiently as possible. One advantage of treatment from this practice is that the level of care provided to every patient is by a doctorate level physical therapists (DPT/PhD) who has additional training and certifications of advanced-level practice.
The services provided are not experimental, but many are state-of-the-art. All therapies provided are approved and fall within the scope of practice set by the South Carolina Board of Physcical Therapy. The treatment techniques employed are based on published research, out-come based therapeutic interventions, and innovative techniques that for many people have been found to have amazing results. These physical therapy specialists give individual attention during each session. By working one-on-one, the patient receives treatments designed specifically for their physical limitations and areas of pain, etc.
A questionnaire will be filled out at a patient's first appointment that will help track the outcome of treatments. The result of these processes allows objective measurements of a patient's progress during therapy and the ability to implement the most effective therapies for a patient to reach maximum rehabilitation potential.
These specialists use collected data, studied results, and analyzed information to bring positive results to the patient's lack of ability to move a body part, walk normally and travel painlessly from one place to another. In light of new facts, the typical physical therapy may be revised to best employ the more practical application of the revised theories.

The "Cosmogonic" Form of Genesis 1
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.

In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
A very important way of avoiding a myopic understanding of our own theories and conclusions is to examine how our forebears in the faith understood things.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
From 2012: The entire BioLogos community would like to thank Dr. Keathley not only for his work in writing his introductory essay, but for his willingness to organize a small collection of essays by other Southern Baptist scholars describing their concerns about the BioLogos perspective. We welcome this opportunity to clarify our positions and remove stumbling blocks where possible.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
"We should be slow to accuse another of discarding the authority of Scripture, and therefore denouncing them, just because they interpret Scripture differently than we do."

Hi all,
My name is Sarah. I am fairly new to digital scrapbooking. I made some pages on my old computer, and really enjoyed it; however, my computer was so old and slow that it couldn't keep up. We have a new Mac now, so I'm trying to figure this all out. I like the idea of QuickPages, to get some of my backlog caught up on. Unfortunately, I can't get Photoshop to open any of the QP files that I have downloaded.
I have two girls, 4 &2, and another on the way in just a few weeks. We live in the foothills of Colorado, and love it here. We enjoy camping, canoeing, and all the fun free music and activities that our city offers. I love to scrapbook, sew, knit and read - when I have free time!
I'm looking forward to learning a lot of new things on this forum.
Sarah L

Actually it often DOES matter -- you wind up not being able to tell who is saying what. Try watching a talk show some time with delayed CCs! But the delay problem is the least of the problems we are experiencing with CCs missing entirely on HD channels and/or so garbled as to be completely useless.
I agree actually, I hate delayed captions, but to a deaf person a 1-second delay wouldn't matter much, as the captions just need to come close to matching the action on the screen, not be lip-synced with the actors.
I'm having some caption issues on an HBO program from last night (Best of CatHouse); the captions pop up for like .1 second, and disappear. Useless. I have no idea if it's the program or the receiver.
While watching CSI last night, captions were perfect. In time, stayed on screen the proper time.
I don't know enough about the technical side of captions to know if the problems could be entirely in the receiver, or some fault could fall on the program. I would think if the caption signal was weak, it would cause problems, but I'm not sure it can even be weak, like I said I don't know enough about how its imbedded.
The bottom line of my post was I doubt ALL the issues seen are the receivers fault, especially ones dealing with timing.

Expensive for what it is, but really useful as it enables me to breastfeed my 2 week old discreetly, anywhere and anytime she's hungry. Brilliant to not have to leave the room when we have guests, or cut visits short. |
expensive but worth itiu connie's mummy 22 Apr 2013 |

It also looks stylish which just seals the deal for me :) |

Some drawings going around the net. GLBT interest.
Some drawings going around the net. GLBT interest.
I couldn't get my mind off you all day.
~~~~ ~~
Are the musical releases surpassing those by established musical acts?
loved it tonite
really like the teach
I also loved tonight's episode. It kind of proved why I love this show, and will continue to love this show - despite the fact that I'm gay
Really? April? That's how long I have to wait???
I'm beautiful in my way - cause god makes no mistakes - I'm on the right track - baby I was born this way!
^April? Ugh! I thought "Spring" meant March at least! Well, we can look forward to no reruns at least.
Rachel's solo at sectionals gave me the chills. I'm gonna go through Glee withdrawls...
Whatever happened to that white dog poop from the '70s?
I had pretty much given up on Glee, but when I heard Lea was singing Don't Rain On My Parade (I've been a Barbra fanatic since the very beginning of her career.), I decided to catch up on the past shows, so I'd know what was happening in the finale.
There's been a lot of improvement. There's been some character development for Quinn, Terri and Sue, and they've begun rounding out some of the "extras."
(I should probably hate that Britany is being portrayed as such a dumb blond, but when she delivered that line about having sex with the other cheerleader, I laughed out loud.)
I must admit I had chills during a lot of this episode. Don't Rain On My Parade and And I Am Telling You were certainly performed on a par with Barbra and the two Jennifers.
The writing is still subpar, but I was impressed with how quickly they wrapped up the two baby deceptions, though that may have been a reaction to the critics.
All in all the show has improved a thousandfold.
Oh, and the scene with the kid in the wheelchair banging his head against the wall...priceless.
"I'm chanting even as we speak, sweetie!"
Mike! "Other Asian" finally has a name...
"You can't take something off the internet. It's like trying to take pee out of a pool."
Yeah. I predict an Emmy for Rachel and Sue. The writing is so/so but their acting is beyond the material. They're the only two actors who have given their characters any form of depth.
sue is some character
everything i see her in she steals
way over the top but ...........
as for rachel she annoys me to death
i love the teach and the asian boy the best
thought the storyline with teach's wife faking pregnancy was brutal
loved the singing on the mattress episode and the finale
show has so much potential
So after watching the episode again today I just noticed that the dancing to "My Life Would Suck Without You" is a mashup of a majority of the dances from throughout the season...
I saw some of: Last Name, Single Ladies, I Say A Little Prayer, It's My Life/Confessions, Proud Mary, Push It, Crazy In Love, and I think maybe a couple others.
Just a random observation
I'm beautiful in my way - cause god makes no mistakes - I'm on the right track - baby I was born this way!
^ This is true
and omg why did I just find out that Idina Menzel is joining most of the episodes (9 roughly) for the next season???
I'm beautiful in my way - cause god makes no mistakes - I'm on the right track - baby I was born this way!
ABC has confirmed Idina Menzel will be on Glee for the rest of the season (starting in April) as the coach of New Direction's rival club, Vocal Adrenaline; and antagonist to Will.
^^Interesting suggestion from another forum: Idina's character could turn out to be Rachel's ("I have two gay dads") biological mother.
Many people have noticed that Lea and Idina resemble each other a great deal.
Idina is too young to be Lea's mother in real life, but not 16 year old Rachel's. Idina is 38. Lea is, I think, 21.
"I'm chanting even as we speak, sweetie!"
So many of the guys on Glee are so sexy.
Whitney Houston, Cee-Lo Green, Derek Luke, Jordin Sparks, Mike Epps to star in "Sparkle" Remake! - http://tinyurl.com/7drkhyb
Puck is to die for. I don't really think Finn is all that hot but his mannerisms are too cute!
It gets even better babe, Kristin Chenoweth is also coming back.
I loved the way the show wrapped up. Terri's fake pregnancy was uncovered. and Will dumped her.
Then, finally, Finn learned the truth about his pregnant girlfriend.
I was glad Rachel figured it out and spilled the news.
As for Sue, what can I say, she went out with a bang and will be back with a vengeance.
can't wait...love her.
In case anyone is interested. Glee merchandise.
I couldn't get my mind off you all day.

I just realized that this show reminds me a lot of Sister Act 2. And I loved Sister Act 2....
Whatever happened to that white dog poop from the '70s?
I wonder how far they will skip forward, if at all.
I was very pleased with how the season ended...or half season or whatever you wanna call it (I guess normal season use to be about 24 episodes?...anyways...lol)
only Downfall it doesn't start again til April!
American Idol starts up again next month...for my TV..Music...singing show...fix....kinda....lol
"...And what it takes I dont care, We're gonna make it I swear, And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again..."
These days a normal season runs about 13 episodes. Unless its a crime drama (like Law &Order, or CSI or any of their clones) then it could go up to 48 and very rarely 52 (one full year of a new episode per week).
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
In the 50s and early 60s the standard scripted TV program filmed 39 episodes. The 13 summer weeks from mid-June until early September either showed reruns or there was a "summer replacement" show on during those weeks.
As scripted TV got more and more expensive the nuimber of yearly episodes gradually decreased.
New shows may only receive an order for 12 episodes or less. If they're successful, the network orders more.
The standard number of episodes for a full season pick-up is now 22 or 23.
"I'm chanting even as we speak, sweetie!"
I wish I could see one of these in person.
I couldn't get my mind off you all day.
~~~~ ~~
^^I just love these kinds of things.
I've often wondered whether or not any of the real bystanders ever wind up trying to join in.
My favorite is the Sound of Music one (Do-Re Mi) last year in Germany.
"I'm chanting even as we speak, sweetie!"
I would think they do.
The book I have on Spring Awakening talks about how some of the audience that gets to sit on stage to watch the show tries to sing quite a bit. It has happened so many time that now they try to get people that have seen it a few times to sit there, because at times the audience member doesnt get it and doesnt sit down.
I could see the same happening for one of these.
I couldn't get my mind off you all day.
~~~~ ~~
I have to say that I enjoyed Lea's version of Don't Rain on My Parade over Barbra's version.
Anyone bought the DVD yet? It's been sold out EVERYWHERE near me.
I've only just watched the first three episodes today and I'm totally hooked! The songs are awesome and the guys ... I could all over them!
It's not even out here in Germany yet!
For those interested. Seems like a good idea.
Not only are we in for a real treat with the Madonna songs that we mentioned below, but when GLEE returns, for the first time, we'll be in for some completely original music!
GLEE creator Ryan Murphy told Billboard.com that he's got an entire episode (aptly titled "Original Song") of original music planned for us. **SPOILER** In this episode, Mr. Schue asks the kids to come up with their own music. Though Murphy's been flooded with calls from songwriters, so far we've heard that Diane Warren and Ryan Tedder (of OneRepublic) will be among the contributing songwriters.
I couldn't get my mind off you all day.

I love this show so much. I've been watching it every day. I tried to wait until the new season to buy the dvd but I couldn't. I had to buy it.
Glee is addictive. I tuned in for the first time, on Fox, this past Wednesday [Jan. 6, 2010] and they were repeating the "Wheels" episode (which just earned Emmy-winning NYPD Blue's Paris Barclay a Directors Guild nomination; the show's pilot, helmed by series creator Ryan Murphy, was also nommed). Ever since that viewing I have caught all 13 thus far episodes that have aired.
Of the show's lead players, I really like Cory Monteith's work as Finn. The actor is 27 and genuinely convincing as a 17-year-old star football player, sweet in nature and naive to reality. There's a warmth and tenderness. And a good voice. Monteith and Lea Michele are very natural and charming together as the lead vocalists of the Glee Club's "New Directions." And I praise Michele for the robust blend of her music and comedic performances (a hilarious reading, in the pilot, is a standout as she describes her character's versatile background). She plays to the hilt the lunacy of Glee's tone as a stars-in-her-eyes Rachel, a frequently obnoxious yet sometimes perceptive leader.
Matthew Morrison, as top character Will Schuester, is dynamite. He is so pure and free with his body. A joyous, musical performer. He has the quite the dramatic chops, especially with Will's conflict in his disastrous marriage which coincides with slowly developing feelings for delicate colleague Emma [Jayma Mays, in nice form].
Among the supporting players, Chris Colfer deserves praise for his feminine Kurt. I've digged his relationship with his widowed father, and Kurt's "chemistry" with Amber Riley's Mercedes (whose voice is a blast!). This is a humane performance.
Glee's best acting clearly comes from Jane Lynch. Her cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester is one number somewhat difficult to figure. She comes across as bitter and evil; yet the lines that emanate from her are not just cutting…they eviscerate everyone within reach. Lynch delivers them with such brutality and conviction, you believe her character is seriously psycho. This is blistering, triumphant work from a comedian and writer so memorable throughout the 2000s in outrageously funny film projects by Christopher Guest (2000's The Best in Show, 2003's A Mighty Wind). With plenty of Emmy talk having already emerged, this may be the TV season's top performance.
Lots of Glee takes every cliche you can imagine. Just hark back to any musical you can think of that involves: the surprising bonds, the soap-opera-like affairs and romances, the forces of good versus evil, the competition among colleagues, the successes of the underdogs. Glee rides them. You watch this show, and there's very little surprising. Which is fine. It's the journey that makes Glee such escapist fun.
Glee was just picked up for a second season.
I have no idea if this is an unintentional spoiler or not but apparently they're looking to cast three more roles for next season. Singing, acting roles so I'm assuming main cast members.
So are three current cast members getting the boot or will the cast just really be that large next season? They already don't give enough depth to some of the characters they do have and they want to add MORE?
As far as I know, the principal cast is all returning for season two.
New leads aren't necessarily a bad thing. Unless Glee goes for the unprecedented and pairs Kurt with Finn
Sorry, I'm back now.
...I'd really like Kurt to have a love interest next season. And if the actor playing him sings and dances we have a better chance of seeing said love interest more than three times a season.
There are no words. Just the sound of jacking off.
You're absolutely right, which for me is a huge part of the appeal. But the fact that we know so much more about many of the other characters bothers me more now knowing they plan to add even more. I'm sure though with the shows success they're planning on addressing that somewhat when it returns in April.
A rotating cast would be awesome. I love the current cast but I feel a great way to keep the show fresh is to bring in a new cast maybe every two years or so so we're not stuck trying to give the show purpose 4 seasons down the road.
Then again, its FOX. 4 seasons of anything is like hitting the state jackpot 4 years in row.
They're in high school. They have to graduate sooner or later. There have to be new cast members to take their places, and some of them have to be already established, so that they don't have to replace the whole student cast at one time every two or three years.

Thank goodness the definition of marriage does change over time. Women were originally thought of as property and marriage was originally about an exchange of property.

When President Obama recently appeared on The View, chatting it up with Barbara, Whoopi, Joy and the others, he affirmed, "I love hanging out with women." You kinda had to wonder that if Hillary Clinton has gotten the presidential nomination and won, then appeared with the girls on The View, if she would have glibly proclaimed, "I love hanging out with men."
Wouldn't the media have a field day with that one? Clearly, President Obama wants to win the hearts and votes of women voters, but such blatant pandering brings up a point about men being condescending when it comes to women. You'd think by 2012, things would be different. I can recall an incident back in the year Today's Chicago Woman was launched, 1982. Then married to a stockbroker at a very reputable national brokerage firm, I accompanied him on a trip to London with a large, select group from his company. These were the top brokers and the trip, which included spouses, was an award for exceeding sales quotas.
The first day, at the spouse's program, the president of the firm welcomed the guests. He then proceeded to bring finance down to a level that he felt the group would understand, by saying something about when we shop at a supermarket and have to choose between a brand of sugar and whatever – I don't remember the rest, because I was now in a mode of disbelief.
I wasn't alone. One woman stood up and proclaimed that she was offended by such a simplistic analogy. She stated her job title: chief financial officer of a publicly traded Fortune 100 company. She went on to chastise him for thinking we needed to have finance explained to us as if we were 3-year-olds. She also pointed out other women in the group and shared their impressive credentials. And, yes, the room did break out in loud applause. It was electric! The speaker was speechless.
And the point was clear: We women DO NOT like to be pandered to. Women are a powerful voting force, and one thing most of us have in common regardless of political preference is concern over the economy. Like James Carville remarked back in 1992 during Bill Clinton's campaign for president, "It's the economy, stupid." So quit patronizing us. We don't need to be liked by vote getters; we have enough girlfriends.

Ilford SFX
With this film and its extended range, a red filter enables the film to have an infrared effect. If shot without the filter, it behaves like a normal B&W film. This film is nice but expensive. For me the IR effect was not consistent, perhaps I just don't know how to control the effect. I took this on a very sunny day to counter all the light reduction of the dark red filter.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by neanderthalis with a Canon AE-1 loaded with Ilford SFX film in Pearl City, United States. These tags describe this photo: ir, infrared, hawaii, oahu, hiking, wandern, b&w, and trekking. Date: 2012-09-16. Time: Noon. This photo can also be found in the album Ilford SFX and the IR effect.Please login to get more out of this site

Norwood, MA (01/21/2010) - Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications, today introduced a pair of highly integrated precision analog microcontrollers featuring on-chip memory, data converters, and other analog peripherals that combine to deliver the highest level of programmability and smallest package size. Effective for digital diagnostics in optical transceivers and modules based on both fixed and tunable frequency lasers, the ADuC7023 and ADuC7122 precision analog microcontrollers use an ARM7 processor with up to 126 KB of flash memory to ensure the accurate control of optical drivers and diagnostics.
The new microcontrollers feature on-chip 12-bit ADCs (analog-to-digital converters) and DACs (digital-to-analog converters), which reduce the size of the overall solution by up to 75 percent compared to competing discrete solutions. The devices support interrupt nesting and up to 16 levels of interrupt priority, and retain DAC and GPIO outputs during a software or watchdog reset, which are of particular benefit to optical module designers.
ADuC7122 Analog Microcontroller Boosts Control Functions in Tunable Optical Modules
The ADuC7122 includes a 32-bit ARM7TDMI processor core operating at 41.78 MHz with 8 KB (kilobytes) of on-chip SRAM and 128 KB of on-chip EEPROM memory with software-triggered in-circuit re-programmability. While competing devices use PWMs (pulse-width modulators) and lower performance ADCs to perform monitoring and control functions, the ADuC7122 microcontroller features a 13-channel, 12-bit, 1-MSPS SAR (successive-approximation register) ADC, 12 buffered 12-bit DACs, a programmable gain amplifier and an on-chip temperature sensor. This high level of precision component integration allows for the robust monitoring and control of key parameters in tunable optical modules, resulting in higher overall system performance. The integration and precision of the ADuC7122 eases the task for the system engineer, while versatile programmability allows multiple systems to use the same component.
The ADuC7122 also features five timers, including a wake-up timer and watchdog timer, as well as two I²C interfaces, one SPI, one UART and 32 GPIO signal pins that can be independently configured as inputs, outputs or open drain. All of this functionality is provided in a tiny 7 mm × 7 mm 108-ball BGA (ball grid array) package.
ADuC7023 Analog Microcontroller for Fixed Frequency Laser Applications
For fixed frequency optical transceivers in SFP, SFP+, XFP and GPON, the ADuC7023 offers 8 KB of SRAM, 62 KB of flash/EEPROM memory, 19 general-purpose I/O (input/output) pins, three general-purpose timers and 16 programmable-logic elements. Analog peripherals include a 12-channel, 12-bit, 1-MSPS ADC, a 16-bit, 6-channel PWM and four buffered 12-bit DACs. All of this functionality is provided in a tiny 5 mm × 5 mm 32-lead LFCSP (lead frame chip scale package).
Features and Pricing
Product | ADC | DAC | Memory | Available | Temp Range |
Price Each Per 1,000 |
ADuC7122 | 13-ch 12-bit ADC | 12 buff. 12-bit DAC | 8 KB SRAM; 126 KB Flash EE |

On Friday, 4A Cleveland defeated the 5A Clarksdale High School Wildcats 12-2. On Saturday the Wildcats continued to roll with a 12-0 win over the East Side Trojans.
Cleveland improved to 4-1 on the season and East Side fell to 0-2.
In Friday's showdown, Cleveland's offense got off to a fast start. In the bottom of the first, the first five hitters for the black and gold Wildcats reached base. Jared Hunt put Cleveland on the board by tagging a two-run single to score Jason Young and Trace Bray to make the score 2-0. After Matt Ray walked to load the bases, Dillon Norwood hit a ground ball to score Marshall Boggs and increase the lead to 3-0. The next batter, Richie Boren, came up big with one out by roping a two-run double that scored Hunt and Ray to make the score 5-0 in favor of Cleveland. Clarksdale pitcher Quavante McGregory was able to settle down and get out of the inning, but Cleveland still held a 5-0 advantage. Cleveland tacked on one more run in the bottom of the third on an error to make the score 6-0.
While the hitters did their damage at the plate, pitcher Jordan Burchfield did his job on the mound. Burchfield limited the red and blue Wildcats to just two hits, all singles, in the first three innings.
In the top of the fourth, Burchfield got into some trouble as Cornelius Williams reached base on a wild pitch, while Dejuan Muskin tagged a single to start the inning. With two outs, Williams and Muskin ended up scoring on an error to cut Cleveland's lead down to 6-2.
Cleveland rebounded quickly and scored three runs in the fourth and three more in the fifth to end the game due to the 10-run mercy rule.
On the mound for Cleveland, Burchfield held the 5A Wildcats to just three hits with no walks and six strikeouts to earn the complete game win. Both of the runs Burchfield gave up were unearned.
Cleveland High head coach Steve Wies said Burchfield did the right things to be successful on the mound.
"He threw strikes and that's all we want," Wies said. "You don't have to throw hard. If you throws strikes and change speeds, you can be successful."
At the plate, Hunt drilled two hits with two RBIs and three runs to lead Cleveland, followed by Boren with two hits including a double with three RBIs, Boggs with a double and two runs, Jacob Thomas with a hit and three RBIs, Ray with three runs and Young with a run and a RBI.
Williams, McGregory and Muskin accounted for Clarksdale's hits.
Against the Trojans, Cleveland's Matt Hardman picked up the win on the hill with nine strikeouts in four innings of work. He gave up two hits in the game.
Dalton Lambre had two hits in the game with two runs scored to lead Cleveland at the plate. Jason Young had a hit with two runs scored and Trace Bray and Marshall Boggs had a hit each in the win.

What exactly is it that you're looking for?
We reject this ridiculous claim that there was a huge conspiracy and coverup because you offer absolutely no proof for it. (And because it's ridiculous.) So you're not going to hear anyone say "yeah, you guys are right, they planned this all along and tripped Hillary down a flight of stairs to give her brain damage so she could get out of testifying."
What do you want? You get up on this martyr cross about how the 85% around here defend anything about Obama but Obama himself said mistakes were made. If you claim it was anything more than that, substantiate it. Otherwise take a hike.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

U.S Defense Secretary Panetta is visiting Indonesia, during which he
expressed its full support of Indonesia's handling of Papua, and support
Indonesia's effort against separatism. This comes just after intensified
violence in Papua, where Indonesia security force has reportedly shot dead
of ten more people - including striking workers and pro-independence force
in the region in the past few weeks. U.S shifting official rhetoric
toward Indonesia's handling of Papua independence comes as U.S perception
of RI's rising importance in the region. Indonesian's location - the
center of Southeast Asia and South China Sea, and its rising leadership
role in the region fits into U.S strategy to broadly engaging Asia. With
the attempt to shape perception of accelerated US engagement plan,
particularly with Obama's Asia tour and upcoming key regional meetings to
take place (including a series of ASEAN related meeting in which RI is the
chairmanship), US is looking Indonesia as a critical component in its
foreign policy agenda.
On 10/24/2011 12:44 AM, Chris Farnham wrote:
This issue increases in importance as the US increases its engagement in
the region to balance against China's rise. As per the religious matters
in Vietnam human rights matters in West Papua will constrain the level
of US involvement in Indonesia. HR concerns are a central matter in the
relationship with the US and Indonesia, East Timor being a recent
example. [chris]
No security escalation in Papua: Govt
Bagus BT Saragih, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Mon, 10/24/2011 11:55 PM
The government does not intend to intensify security precautions in
Papua following the recent fatal incidents allegedly linked to
separatist movements in the region.
Presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha said the government would
stick to its socioeconomic approach, emphasizing the importance of
improving the welfare of citizens of the region in efforts to ease
He said that the recent charge of treason against six Papuans following
a local congress that declared Papuan independence did not indicate an
emerging state in the region.
"Law enforcement measures against those charged with treason does not
mean that the government is beginning to address Papuan problems in more
militaristic ways. We believe that intensifying security approaches will
not solve [the problems]," Julian told The Jakarta Post.
The National Police broke up the third Papuan Peoples' Congress in
Abepura, Papua, on Wednesday after participants reportedly raised the
prohibited Morning Star flag, a symbol of Papuan independence, and
issued a declaration of independence.
About 300 of the 5,000 who attended the congress were arrested. At least
three bodies were found near the area where the congress was held.
During the same time, three people were shot dead and another three were
wounded in Timika.
President Susilo Bambang Yu-dhoyono said he would not tolerate any form
of treason, leading to the treason charges against the six suspects who
had allegedly orchestrated the congress.
Police and the Indonesian Army have been hunting the group allegedly
responsible for the Timika shooting.
The government has denied security forces were involved in the killings.
Julian blamed local administrations for failing to manage the annual
special autonomy funds disbursed from Jakarta to the regions.
"The central government has disbursed trillions of special autonomy
funds to the Papua and West Papua provinces. However, it is the local
administrations that determines how to spend the budget in development
programs. How is it that Papuans are still far from public facilities
despite the funding?" he asked.
Indonesian Institute of Sciences political expert Ikrar Nusa Bhakti said
the provincial administrations of Papua and West Papua had failed to
translate the Special Autonomy approach into improved welfare for the
Papuan people.
"Incompetence has made local administrations fail to create programs
that are more sustainable. Funding has apparently been misused," Ikrar
Papua was granted Special Autonomy in 2001 in response to rising demands
from Papuans to separate from Indonesia. The Special Autonomy funds are
aimed at speeding up development in the restive provinces.
The central government has disbursed Rp 28 trillion (US$3.16 billion) in
Special Autonomy funds to the two provinces since 2002.
Earlier this year, the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) revealed that one of
its findings concluded that Rp 4.12 trillion of Special Autonomy funds
had been misused and embezzled.
Ikrar, however, said that the central government must also take
responsibility for unresolved issues in Papua.
The delayed establishment of the Unit for the Acceleration of
Development in Papua and West Papua (UP4B), which was intended to bridge
Papua and Jakarta, was among the reasons behind the questions over
Jakarta's seriousness in making a better Papua, Ikrar said.
Poengky Indarti, director of human rights NGO Imparsial, said President
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had failed to follow through on his own pledge
to address Papua "with heart".
"We have seen that militaristic methods continue to be used," she said.

Trigonometric Ratios: Cosine - Concept
Right triangles have ratios that are used to represent their base angles. Cosine ratios, along with sine and tangent ratios, are ratios of two different sides of a right triangle. Cosine ratios are specifically the ratio of the side adjacent to the represented base angle over the hypotenuse. In order to find the measure of the angle, we must understand inverse trigonometric functions.
In right triangles there exist special relationships between interior angles and the sides. We're going to talk about cosine and the special relationship that cosine gives you. If we talked about an angle theta and again we could chose one of these two angles and then that would determine how we would describe theta. So theta is just an angle and cosine is a ratio between the side that is adjacent to it which means next to it but not the hypotenuse and the hypotenuse. So cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse and one way to remember this is using the SOH CAH TOA saying. I don't know how many years I've been saying this in Geometry classes but SOH CAH TOA is an easy way to remember your 3 trigonometric ratios. Sine, cosine tangent where sine is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse, cosine is ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse and tangent is ratio of opposite side to adjacent.
Let's look at one quick example to see how we can use cosine to come up with ratios. We talked about cosine of s, s is the ratio of the adjacent side which is r to the hypotenuse which is t. So again cosine is a ratio of two different side links. Cosine of r so now we're going to forget about this vertex s and we're going to look at vertex r. From vertex r's perspective the adjacent side is s and the hypotenuse is still going to be t. So you can use cosine to describe the relationship between an angle, its adjacent side and the hypotenuse.

You visited your doctor or the hospital because you have a kidney stone. You doctor will ask you to take some self-care steps that depend on the type of stone you have.
Your doctor may:
Your doctor may ask you to try to catch your kidney stone. You can do this by collecting all of your urine and straining it. Your doctor or nurse will tell you how to do this.
A kidney stone is a solid piece of material that forms in a kidney. A stone may get stuck in one of your two ureters (the tubes that carry urine from your kidneys to your bladder), the bladder, or the urethra (the tube that carries urine from your bladder to outside your body).
Kidney stones may be the size of sand or gravel, as large as a pearl, or even larger. A stone can block the flow of your urine and cause great pain. A stone may also break loose and travel through your urinary tract all the way out of your body without causing too much pain.
There are four major types of kidney stones.
Drinking a lot of fluid is important for treating and preventing all types of kidney stones. Staying hydrated (having enough fluid in your body) will keep your urine diluted, and that makes it less likely stones will form.
If you drink bottled water, read the label. Make sure it does not contain calcium or other ingredients that may be harmful. Ask your doctor if you are not sure.
Limit your coffee, tea, and cola to 1 or 2 cups a day. Caffeine may cause you to lose fluid too quickly, and that can make you dehydrated.
Follow these guidelines if you have calcium kidney stones:
Do not take extra calcium or vitamin D. They might cause more stones to form.
Ask your doctor about taking vitamin C or fish oil. They may be harmful to you.
If your doctor says you have calcium oxalate stones, you may also need to limit foods that are high in oxalate. These foods include:
Avoid these foods if you have uric acid stones: alcohol, anchovies, sardines, oils, herring, organ meat (liver, kidney, and sweetbreads), legumes (dried beans and peas), gravies, mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, cauliflower, consommé, and baking or brewer's yeast.
Other suggestions for your diet include:
If you are losing weight, lose it slowly. Quick weight loss may cause uric acid stones form.

Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF)
"As we look more closely at life, it becomes clearer and clearer that Scripture is about counseling: diagnostic categories, causal explanations of behavior and emotion, interpretation of external sufferings and influences, definitions of workable solutions, character of the counselor, goals for the counseling process…These are all matters to which God speaks directly, specifically, and frequently. He calls us to listen attentively, to think hard and well, and to develop our practical theology of conversational ministry."- David Powlison, Faculty and Executive Director, CCEF
