Dog's Life: Work of Dogs In Oregon prisons, therapy dogs help close the gap between parent and child
While Rachel's husband, Sean, did his time at Columbia River Correctional Institute (CRCI), a minimum-security prison in Oregon, she struggled to maintain the parent-child bond between him and their three children. She brought them to the monthly family visits, but the atmosphere was austere, controlled and, for kids, dull. Families sat on metal benches around a table, and several families shared...

News: Guest Posts Courtroom dog comforts victims at defendant's sentencing
Awhile ago I wrote an article for Bark about prosecuting attorneys' innovative use of service dogs with victims of crime. Since then, I've become a prosecuting attorney in one of the counties I highlighted. I thought I'd check in on Stilson--and take Bark's readers along--as he performed a routine part of his job. These dogs never stop giving; they're simply amazing.

News: Guest Posts Helping a dog—or three—gets personal. [Web exclusive]
Until recently, my understanding of "rescue" has been too traditional and narrow. I've been a breed foster mom. But rescue? Isn't that something done by selfless, saintly people in nonprofit organizations who give their entire lives to assisting dogs and other animals? Those who drop everything to rescue homeless and lost animals after a natural disaster? I'm no saint.
Yet 2008 was my year of the...

Dog's Life: Lifestyle Providing for your pup after you're gone
When "Queen of Mean" Leona Helmsley left $12 million in trust for the care of her beloved Maltese, Trouble—a move that took third place on Fortune magazine's list of the "101 Dumbest Moments in Business" for 2007—she was ridiculed for excessive generosity toward a mere animal, just as during her life she was ridiculed for her stinginess toward people.

Dog's Life: Travel Dog days at Canada's Flying U
Meadow made a beeline for the bed; the cabin was cool and dark, and she was ready for a nap. This was our third day of exploring trails at the Flying U Ranch, Canada's oldest guest ranch, and Meadow and Maia, my two- and four-year-old Malamutes, were both happily tired after trotting alongside me and Louis, my trusty steed. In the space of three days, we had covered about 50 miles.

Dog's Life: Humane A haven for special-needs animals
Dogs can inspire us to do many wonderful things. When animals are the direct beneficiaries of that inspiration, the results are truly extraordinary.

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Pushing fashion to the limit is not for everyone, but if you eagerly embrace bright colors, big florals and bold graphics, these guaranteed attention getters are for you. Inspired by a passion for retro, the energy of the art world and advances in digital printing, spring?s patterns let you celebrate your individuality.
A go-for-broke attitude helps. But startling visuals are most flattering in a silhouette with a relaxednot tight fit. Separates contrast best with black, and accessories must take a back seat. Red lips are welcome, but nude is nice too.

Each visual represents a man, or a woman, perfectly relaxed, who live a moment of well-being, serenity, escapism, and daydream... Indeed a pictogram representing a seat number, located above each character, is an Air France passenger. This also means that Air France commits its clients to make each travel as wonderful as moments on earth.
Air France decided to express a new and more involved promise for the business flyer, a well-being promise... even a 'better-being'promise. Making the sky the best place on earth is taking care of each passenger.
Once more, Air France has to surprise and renew its advertising writing. Moreover other actors of the aerian sector have lately renewed their campaigns. No more planes and cabins, from now on, mosts of aerian companies advertisings represent the client.

.- The only surviving person to witness the opening of the third Fatima secret has denied claims that the Vatican is hiding details about a predicted apocalypse.
Archbishop Loris Capovilla, 91, who witnessed Pope John XXIII open the envelope of the third secret, said there was no truth in the rumor that the Vatican was suppressing a vision of the end of the world.
"There are not two truths from Fatima and nor is there any fourth secret. The text which I read in 1959 is the same that was distributed by the Vatican," said Archbishop Capovilla.
"I have had enough of these conspiracy theories. It just isn't true. I read it, I presented it to the Pope and we resealed the envelope," he reportedly said.
The three "Secrets of Fatima" were written down by one of the children, Lucia Dos Santos, who later became a Carmelite nun. The nun revealed two of the secrets in 1941.
The first was a vision of hell, while the second apparently predicted the two world wars and the return of Russia from communism to Christianity.
The third secret was sent to Pope John XXIII in a sealed envelope in 1959. Pope John Paul II only revealed it in 2000 and said it referred to the 1981 assassination attempt on him.

[426] Utilization of Telecytopathology for Preliminary Diagnosis of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) of Pancreas.
Rong Rong, Ajoy Roy, Kamal K Khurana. State University of New York, Upstate Medical University, Syracuse
Background: Onsite cytopathology interpretation is essential to improve the yield of EUS-guided FNA of pancreas. Distance and time constraints make onsite evaluation of EUS-guided pancreatic FNA time consuming. We evaluated a telepathology system for onsite-evaluation of EUS-guided pancreatic FNA.
Design: Real time images of Diff Quik stained cytology smears were obtained with an Olympus digital camera attached to an Olympus CX41 microscope. Cytopathologist accessing the dynamic images on a computer rendered preliminary diagnosis while communicating with the onsite operator over phone. Accuracy of preliminary diagnosis rendered via telepathology was compared with those procured by conventional on site assessment.
Results: A total of 110 EUS-guided-pancreatic FNAs were assessed for on-site preliminary diagnosis. Telecytopathology system and conventional microscopy were used to evaluate equal number of cases (55 each). Preliminary diagnoses of Negative/benign, atypical /suspicious and positive for malignancy were 69%, 7% and 24% for telecytopathology and 60%, 9% and 31% for conventional microscopy. The overall concordance between the preliminary and final diagnosis was 84% for telecytopathology and 87% for conventional microscopy. Of the nine discordant telecytopathology cases that were initially classified as benign, the final cytologic diagnosis included positive for malignancy (7 cases) and atypical cytology (2 cases). Conventional microscopy yielded 7 discordant cases with preliminary diagnosis of benign (5 cases) and atypical (2 cases). Final cytologic diagnosis on 5 benign cases included positive for malignancy (3 case) and atypical cytology (2 cases). Final cytology on 2 atypical cases was benign. Neuroendocrine neoplasms consisted of 31% of the total discrepant cases. Of the neuroendocrine neoplasms, telecytopathology missed 67% (4 of 6) of cases compared to (1 of 4) 25% missed on conventional microscopy.
Conclusions: Telecytopathology is comparable with conventional microscopy in accuracy of preliminary diagnosis during EUS-guided pancreatic FNA. Cytopathologist can make real time consultation from remote site and utilize time more efficiently. Neuroendocrine neoplasms prove to be diagnostically challenging for both telecytopathology and conventional microscopy. However the diagnostic accuracy for such cases is higher with conventional microscopy than telecytopathology.

In the North, the best time to overseed is in the fall. By starting in the fall, the young grass plants can establish strong roots and store food for a head start in the spring. In the South, the recommended time to overseed is spring or early summer. Before you begin, choose the seed that's best for you. Your local Cooperative Extension Service is a good source of advice.
There are several tools that will help you spread seed evenly and at the recommended rates. They include lawn seeders and power machines that cut shallow slits in the soil and sow seed at the same time. Lawn seeders are available at rental stores. They are the preferred tool, especially if you were not able to remove all thatch prior to overseeding.
Aerate your lawn with a rental machine like this one. It loosens soil so more oxygen and water can reach the roots. The rotary aerator we used extracted 2-in.-long soil cores. These cores easily break up when raked. If you decide to spread seed by hand or with a spreader, first roughen the exposed soil to a depth of 1/2 in. using a rake. Set the spreader to deliver 50 to 75 percent of the seed that's recommended by the seed producer for seeding a new lawn. If you were not able to remove all thatch, apply seed at the high end of the range. Similarly, the higher the percentage of weeds in your lawn, the more seed you should apply. Start on the edges of the area you are sowing, and work your way to the center. Apply extra seed to bare areas, and lightly cover the seed with a mixture of compost and topsoil. Then cover bare seeded areas with seedfree straw, about 100 pounds of straw per 1000 sq. ft. of lawn. Follow up by rolling all seeded areas with a water-weighted roller to press the seed to the soil.
All of your work to this point will have been in vain if you don't care for the young grass plants as they germinate and begin to grow. The most critical step is to apply just the right amount of water to your overseeded lawn. Too little or too much water and the seedlings won't germinate or will soon wither and die. To ensure the maximum germination rate, soak your lawn on the same day you apply the seed. On the next day, assuming it hasn't rained, lightly sprinkle or mist the lawn for about 5 minutes in the morning and evening. Be sure you have moistened the soil to a depth of 1 in. Keep the overseeded lawn moist until the young grass plants are 2 in. tall by watering lightly every day it doesn't rain (Photo 17). This will take four to six weeks. Then resume normal watering patterns.
Begin mowing once the new grass is 2 in. tall. Avoid cutting more than one-third the height of the existing grass and keep your grass on the high side, no shorter than 3 in. for cool-season grasses and 2 in. for warm-season grasses. Be sure your blade is sharp and that the lawn is dry. A dull blade, especially when the ground is moist, may tear up the young grass plants. Also, stay off the seeded areas as much as possible, except to apply the rest of the fertilizer as recommended by your soil test.
Keep young grass plants moist. When they grow to 2 in. in height, resume normal watering patterns.

Joe Corvo feels hard done by and he's willing to duel Kyle Turris to defend his honor. In Saturday night's game against the Ottawa Senators, Corvo took what he feels is a cheap shot from Turris and has been banged up as a result.
Regardless of the nature of the hit, Corvo was not too happy with the fact that Brendan Shanahan opted not to discipline Turris for it. And, according to Joe Haggerty, he'll be more than happy to do it himself.
"Let's just say I'll be looking for him right off the bat," said Corvo. "I'm not [happy]. Two days I've been walking around with a headache. Just because I didn't lay down on the ice and get carted off and miss a period . . . I don't know . . . it doesn't mean that it wasn't a cheap shot.
"In my opinion he saw my numbers and took the opportunity to seek revenge for the game prior when we were at home. Hopefully he's a man and he'll step up tomorrow when I come after him. I'm not going to try and hurt him, but I want to fight him."
Corvo isn't a fighter – in fact he got into his first NHL scrap earlier this season with the Bruins – and clearly neither is Turris. So the B's defenseman felt that dropping the gloves to settle their differences is the honorable thing.
"I think so. It was a cheap shot. From what I heard I stayed on the ice for a second, but from what I was told he stayed on the ice and acted like he was hurt," said Corvo. "It was just another indicator he felt like he was wrong and was afraid somebody else was going to going to get him while sticking up for me."
Here's the actual hit itself:
Let's also not forget Chris Neil's exploits that night.
Regardless of what you think of the hit, tomorrow night's Bruins/Sens tilt could get pretty interesting if tempers start to boil over. I highly encourage you all to watch.

Private versus Public
To The European Ombudsman |
Why won't the European Commission answer our letter about European Communities being forced to sell their water?
15 May 2011 Sign On Letter to the Commission on Water Privatization
26 September 2012 Letter from the Commision
World Social Forum Tunisia 2013 |
Food & Water Europe will participate in the World Social Forum on water, fracking and food sovereignty issues; as part of the of the newly formed European Water Movement which fights to stop the "assetization" of our natural commons. Learn more. |
There is a battle brewing over who owns water. A resource as vital as water should not be exposed to the highest bidder. In the past decade the privatization of water resources in Europe has seen a rapid increase and big companies have profited from this.
Many private companies are providing worse service at a higher cost than most public utilities.
The private management of public utilities has been promoted as a way to bring efficiency to public services to save money for both taxpayers and water customers. Communities that have experimented with privatization have found that it does not solve their water woes. In fact, consumers face steep water rate hikes, rapidly crumbling infrastructure, excessive leaks, water service disruptions and unaccountable management.
Our Right to Water: Case Studies on Austerity and Privatization in Europe |
Global Water Summit 2011 |
Executive Director Wenonah Hauter got the inside scoop on what the water industry is up to at the 2011 Global Water Summit in Berlin. Check our her blog post: The Next Big Thing In Industry: Water Profiteering |
European Citizens' Initiative |
Funding Clean Water
Food & Water Europe promotes the right to universal access to clean and affordable water because it is a human right and a common good.
While private water companies often promise to improve the quality of aging, underfunded water systems, research continues to show that public management and operation of water systems is cheaper and more efficient than private management and operation.
We should be able to count on the EU, our national governments and our regulators to oversee and protect the quality and safety of our water, which should be free of control by businesses looking to turn a profit.
Instead of irresponsible private investment schemes, we need to plan ahead for future generations and create a dedicated source of public funding so that communities across Europe can keep water as a vital resource.
How Food & Water Europe is Helping
Food & Water Europe serves as a clearinghouse for information and an ally in organizing to ensure that water — a public resource — stays in public hands.
We provide support for the water movements in Europe, be it citizen initiatives, elected officials or other NGOs who are fighting to protect their water from corporate control.
Food & Water Europe also supports the European Citizens' Initiative. The ECI is a new tool launched by the European Commission to help citizens play a more active role in the European political process. The first ECI launched in April 2012 will focus on the human right to water.

I love that they dont test on animals and unlike two previous posters, i really like the little vintage inspired purse that comes with this set. others thought it wasn't well made but i thought it was fine. and it is so cute.. i have no complaints at all with this set. i paid $24.

I managed to get this during a sale for almost 60% off. It's a very lovely lip set! I have NC30/ NW25 skin, and Plum Dandy is the prettiest color! Angel looks a bit too bright on me, but I usually mix it with some dark lipstick to get a deeper tone. I sometimes wear both lippies layered together and they look wonderful! The gloss is very pretty too- natural and not too sticky. The bag is not very useful... kinda small, but cute :)

Well, I'm loving Angel, which is far less Barbie bubblegum than I would have expected from reviews. On me, it's a light cool-neutral shimmery, pink, creamier and less drying than other MAC frosts. Plum Dandy is a little harder for me to wear, but I've made it work with All Woman or Rose Champagne (included in the set) lipglass. My only complaint is that the the bullet cases in this set are light and cheap compared to MAC's regular cases - more like Lauder Group's Jane l/s cases with sparkles in them. Still, a great purchase, especially because MAC has great colors and formulations and doesn't need to test on animals to get them to us.

I really wasn't intending on buying a lips set, considering how tiny the purses are, but when I saw the colours (especially Rose Champagne lipglass) I just had to have it. All three products are very flattering on my NC15 skin, and although the purse isn't particularly fancy or well made. it's a great size for carrying around lip products (and the 318 retractable lip brush). Love it!

I second what the previous reviewer said! :o) I like this kit alot, too! Angel always was one of my fave MAC lipsticks (earns me alot of compliments, anyway), and Plum Dandy is new for me, but seems to go well with my coloring (NC30-ish). I, too, wish the Lipglass that comes with this lip trio were bigger, becuz Rose Champagne is such a nice, neutral gloss! (My favorite kind.) The only thing I found minorly disagreeable about this Pink Lips set was the tube that the lipsticks come in. Instead of the usual, MAC bullet, lipstick tube... these holiday versions come in very slick, smooth, shiny, actually slippery bullet-shaped tubes! I had to laugh when I took them out of the package, because they shot right out of my hand (like a REAL bullet!) and I found it hard to grip them! Silly point to make, I know; but you might not find it so silly when you are fumbling for this tube of lipstick in your purse while you are driving... and it keeps slipping out of your grasp! Or, it slips from your hand once you grab it from your purse and it rolls under the car seat. I don't really like the new, slick, lipstick tube from MAC... wish they would have just stuck with their tried and true tube. Great product, tho!

Tales of Tools and Tactics: Incorporating service into conferences
Tools and Tactics are replicable templates Connectors can use to multiply and amplify action and collaboration in their communities. We find they also make for great stories about people all over the world who are promoting good in interesting ways.
Conference organizers take note! Conferences are great for networking and learning, but they can also be prime opportunities to give back to local communities.
Below, Cheryl Hanback, who helped organize the day of service for the The Nonprofit Technology Enterprise Network (NTEN) Conference, shares her experience:
Q: In all your years of helping to organize NTEN's Nonprofit Tech Conference's Day of Service, what's something you've seen carry over from year to year?
A: Camaraderie between conference attendees that volunteered during the day of service—whether we worked in a soup kitchen or in small teams to help a nonprofit with a tech challenge they were facing. I wouldn't have put a price on that, or guessed it would've happened. Conference attendees came back year after year and felt so bonded, because you've gone out and helped that day, and you did it together. People made real connections. You don't just sit at a lunch table for five minutes before a speaker starts, or eat dinner next to someone. You make real, grounded relationships.

Patriot SB Highlights
ESPN Classic has all 3 games in a row tonight (9:30-11:00)
just think Steeler fans, once you win, its on film FOREVER! And the ending never changes. |
Re: Patriot SB Highlights
I was about to say.. who gives a F***
Re: Patriot SB Highlights
that WAS my point. I want you guys to understand the threshhold you will crossing around 10:30 tomorrow night. Madden is right, theres is no gap larger in sports between winning and losing a Super Bowl. It last forever and they can never take it away. You think you've experience Steeler high before? (im obviously talking to the younger crowd)
You dont have any idea. Once you win, it unlocks EVERYTHING. the loser gets thrown back in the pile. the winner is the winner FOREVER. All your little flaws are erased. Your QB goes to Disneyworld. You go on the Wheaties box. Letterman has some of your players on the show. The parade etc etc etc. Watch the SB highlight shows and get REVVED UP from it. THAT is my point. |
Re: Patriot SB Highlights
We must win this game........I hope Ben is the MVP...........how lucky are we to have taken him the 11th pick......
I would also settle for Bettis being the MVP........Don't laugh.....the big guy is gonna be pumped up for this game..He may have his best ever....which would be awesome |
Re: Patriot SB Highlights
Rep points to you 3-4... as if I needed any more motivation as it is :laughing:
Re: Patriot SB Highlights
Yeah unfortunately I was born in 1986 so I wasn't around for the other titles. Hearing people talk about the 70's championships will make you jealous of how they felt when the Steelers won. Hopefully come tomorrow my generation will know.
Re: Patriot SB Highlights
Is fans like you i'll be thinking about tomorrow night. Its like in "The Wizard of Oz" when Dorothy goes from black and white to color. You'll be in a calm, happy, state of shock (even though you know its coming) that you'll never want to wake up from. You'll think of people you hadnt thought of in years. You'll remember some game you watched 13 years ago. And it will all come back to one thought. We're World Champions. And watching sports will never be the same (in a good, good, way) 24 hours to go. All the best to you. |
Re: Patriot SB Highlights
Thanks 3 to be 4. :cheers:
Re: Patriot SB Highlights
i'm recording the game so if we win i'm rewinding that sucker and watching it all over again. i won't be able to sleep anyway
Re: Patriot SB Highlights
As someone who is old enough to have lived through every Celtics championship, all the good Bruins teams including Bobby Orr and the animals, and old enough to have sit out in the left field bleachers in Fenway Park and looked down on Ted Williams, I can say there is nothing like winning a Super Bowl. It's GLORIOUS.

(BPT) - Each day, 4,000 American children take up smoking, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Most are probably aware of the health risks, but the internal pressure they place on themselves to fit in with peers can drive their decision to try that first cigarette. Self-esteem – and the conviction that they deserve the better health that comes from smoke-free living – can go a long way toward ensuring kids never begin smoking.
"Parental dialogue and role-modeling are important if parents want to keep kids from smoking, but helping children build self-esteem, teaching them to trust in their own value as people – those things are also vital," says Dr. Michael Popkin, author of numerous parenting books, co-founder of Active Parenting Publishing, and spokesman for the Real Parents Real Answers youth smoking prevention program sponsored by Lorillard Inc. "Kids can learn to withstand internal and external pressures by building and practicing self-discipline and self-respect."
Popkin, who will host a Google+ Hangout on July 10 to help parents learn esteem-building tactics, offers some advice for parents to help keep kids smoke free:
* Avoid focusing on mistakes and weaknesses. While errors in judgment are learning opportunities, parents should help children discern the lesson and then move on. Dwelling on past mistakes can lead children to believe they're not capable of making better decisions.
* Believe in your child's abilities and he will believe in himself, too. At the same time, it's important to keep your expectations realistic. Encourage children to be the best they can be, but don't hold them to an unachievable standard.
* Nurture strengths and growth, rather than emphasizing a specific end result. Success will be a natural outgrowth of developing children's strengths.
* Stimulate independence. Children learn by doing, and that includes learning how to make good decisions by making their own choices. Parents will need to make some decisions for kids, of course, but whenever it's appropriate for children to do so, parents should allow them to make their own decisions.
* Give yourself credit. As parents, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the challenge of helping guide kids toward good choices. Acknowledge that it's not an easy task, and that by seeking guidance, help and advice you're striving to do the best you can for your children.
Popkin has authored an e-book about helping children build self-esteem. It's available online at www.realparentsrealanswers.com along with a plethora of other information, advice and helpful hints for parents. You can find materials covering topics from discouraging children from smoking to building parent-child relationships and teaching children about healthier lifestyles. Parents who wish to watch or participate in the July 10, or any other upcoming RPRA Google+ Hangout event, can find a link and sign-up information on the Real Parents Real Answers website. The post-event recordings will be available on the program's YouTube page.

Officers' Quarters: Emotionally invested {WoW}
Jun 14th 2010 1:16PM We're seeing this in our guild too, at first I thought it was written by someone in the guild it's so close to the way we've been feeling. But honestly, it sounds like the GM just wants to maintain control. We encourage our guild mates to go out and raid with other guilds, because it lends to more experience and new insight. To borrow a terrible phrase, "the GM needs to let you go and hope that you'll fly back." You may just come back with some new insight that'll get you past your current hurdle. Two of the best officers in my guild have their "mains" in other guilds. But they always show up for our raids and they contribute when they can. I've seen too many guilds where it's more of a dictatorship than a partnership, it sounds like your guild may just be another one of them. The biggest advise I can offer is try to coordinate your schedule where your current guild doesn't feel your absence. If the GM has issues with you pulling a toon out, then it's HIS loss, especially if you are one of his most active officers.

You are here"Louisiana's Loch Ness mythology"
The Baton Rouge Advocate (August 16, 2012) editorially excoriated Louisiana's controversial new voucher program for its funding of schools that "not only teach creationist nonsense, but are proud of it." A worry from Missouri
Is a new amendment to the Missouri state constitution going to undermine the teaching of evolution in the state's public schools? Kentucky legislators assailing evolution
Legislators in the Kentucky state senate are concerned about the presence of evolution in the state science standards and associated end-of-course testing. Vouchers for creationism in Louisiana?
Louisiana is about to spend almost twelve million dollars to fund the teaching of creationism, charges Zack Kopplin, famous for organizing the effort to repeal the so-called Louisiana Science Education Act. Encouraging news from South Korea
The plan to eliminate examples of evolution from textbooks in South Korea is under reconsideration. Freshwater appeal to be heard
The Ohio Supreme Court will hear the appeal of John Freshwater, the middle school science teacher in Mount Vernon, Ohio, who was fired over his inappropriate religious activity in the classroom, including teaching creationism. "An Evolving Controversy"
Will a new generation of science standards improve the teaching of science? NCSE's Newton on creationism and climate change denial"What do creationists and climate change deniers have in common?" asks NCSE's Steven Newton, writing in the May 2012 issue of the American Geoscience Institute's magazine, Earth. Cringing in Kansas
The renewed complaints of a few members of the Kansas state board of education about evolution is making Kansans cringe, according to the editorial board of the Lawrence Journal-World (June 15, 2012). Update from Kansas
As expected, when the Kansas state board of education heard a presentation about the current status of the Next Generation Science Standards on June 12, 2012, evolution was in the crosshairs. Pages |

A bipartisan coalition of House members -- led by Senators Gordon Smith (R-OR), Mike DeWine (R-OH), Christopher Dodd (D-CT), Jack Reed (D-RI) and Harry Reid (D-NV) -- are currently pushing their colleagues to include funding for recently authorized federal initiatives to expand effective youth suicide prevention services.
This past fall, Congress passed -- and President Bush signed into law -- the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act (P.L. 108-355), authorizing new programs at SAMHSA to support states and local communities in developing comprehensive strategies for suicide prevention among adolescents and young adults. The new law also authorizes expansion of campus-based mental health services. NAMI strongly supports this new law. For FY 2005, Congress allocated $7 million for programs authorized under the Garrett Lee Smith Act, including planning grants to the states to develop comprehensive suicide prevention strategies. NAMI urges full funding in FY 2006 ($16.5 million) for suicide prevention activities authorized under the Garrett Lee Smith Act.
Advocates are strongly encouraged to contact their Senators and urge them to sign the Smith-DeWine-Dodd-Reed-Reid letter in support of FY 2006 funding for suicide prevention and campus mental health initiatives authorized under the Garrett Lee Smith Act. All Senate offices can be reached by calling 202-224-3121 or at www.senate.gov
In calling Senate offices, advocates are strongly encouraged to remind members of Congress that:
Thanks for your outstanding advocacy work.

The Mazal paintings are transcendental and beautiful -- which connects them to the latest craze in contemporary art, most recently displayed at the ongoing Site Santa Fe, organized by David Hickey. While Mazal was not included in Site proper, his work was on display in Santa Fe when Site opened this past summer. Will the new era that began abruptly on September 11 -- so different in so many ways from the one we were in before -- stop this growing interest in beauty right in its tracks? Will the national mood now demand message-oriented works that eschew beauty as a naive goal? Let's hope not: Beauty should never be obsolete.
At Carson-Masuoka Gallery, there was no thought of canceling FABstraction, since the show had opened on Labor Day weekend. But the gallery has certainly felt the effects of the horrible events of September 11. "At first, traffic fell off quite a bit," says Mark Masuoka, who owns the gallery with Sandy Carson. "But it's starting to pick up, and we're working on a lot of jobs we contracted for during the summer."
Through October 12
Carson-Masuoka Gallery, 760 Santa Fe Drive
Given the art world's interconnections, a flat season in New York will be felt elsewhere, Masuoka notes. "We're setting up at a show in Chicago," he says. "We don't know what will happen. We're committed to it, so we can't back out now, but we're not sure how it's going to go. But it's our job and we have to do it. I think art gives people something that comforts them; we've had a number of people say that coming in and seeing the show made them feel better. It's what we can do in the art world: bring comfort to people."
Masuoka laughs when I ask whether the craze for beauty -- so amply displayed in FABstraction -- will start to wane. "Maybe people will need beautiful things more than ever," he says.
If they do, they couldn't come to a better place than Carson-Masuoka, because FABstraction is filled with beautiful objects. Organized by Masuoka, the show is very much like the Colorado Biennial he presented over a year ago when he was still director at Denver's Museum of Contemporary Art, both in its emphasis of beauty and in its attempt to survey a wide array of current contemporary-art approaches. "There's no ab-ex; everything is new," says Masuoka.
The show begins with a group of luscious paintings by Amy Sloan Kirchoff, a fairly recent arrival on the Denver art scene. For these pieces, beautiful jewel tones of red, blue, purple and yellow are set off by dusty pastels and neutral shades. In "Dance the Line, Blur the Rhythm," an acrylic on canvas, Kirchoff has painted loosely composed circles on top of one another, forming a dense composition. This use of circles, repeated in all of her paintings here, has a retro '60s quality, reflecting another current art craze. Despite the historic references, though, it gives the Kirchoff paintings a very contemporary feel.
Also very up-to-the-minute are two post-minimalist paintings in mixed media on paper laid on board by California artist Patsy Krebs. These stripe paintings simultaneously convey flatness and decidedly non-flat three-dimensional space -- a pair of attributes that would appear to be antithetical to each other, at least superficially, but are reconciled successfully by Krebs. Elaborate abstractions by Santa Fe's Kristy Rawson hang adjacent to Krebs's work, in the second space off the main part of the gallery. Rawson uses an intensely complicated process that includes acrylic painting, ink drawing, photocopy, acrylic transfer and applications of wax and oil to create these pieces. The resulting compositions, which form organic patterns, recall traditional fabrics -- another current contemporary painting trend, especially in the West.
That the West is developing its own contemporary ethos is seen even more clearly in Chad Colby's abstracts, which are based conceptually -- though not literally -- on landscapes. Like Kirchoff, Colby recently moved to Denver; he now teaches at Metro State. In his paintings, passages of color with hard edges define irregular shapes in pointedly non-decorative color schemes that often feature a lot of yellow.
Also Western in theme -- a relatively new trip for him -- are two spectacular, sophisticated installations by John McEnroe. One of the most insightful postmodernists working in Denver, McEnroe wants his wry observations about contemporary life to carry not just a conceptual punch, but a big visual one -- and these pieces hit the mark. "Blue Spruce" and "Red Oak" both use real logs, presumably spruce and oak, along with printed wood-grain plastic sheeting cleverly set side by side. Especially nice is the cobalt-blue-coated bough that leans against the wall in "Blue Spruce" and the ideologically similar use of a red-coated stump in "Red Oak." I've liked just about everything I've ever seen by McEnroe, who's exhibited in the area for over five years, but his work has never looked as good as it does right now in FABstraction.
Reflecting on both FABstraction and the Mazal show, I realized that Mark Masuoka was right. We do need beauty now more than ever.

The Packaging
The Agility 3 retains the color scheme found on the Agility 2. OCZ put together a nice package for the new mainstream SandForce drives; on the front we see the capacity size and a quick rundown of features.
On the back there is a brief statement that covers the Agility 3 products, but on the bottom right side OCZ has included an accurate specifications list.
We've already spilled the beans on the desktop adapter bracket, you don't get one. What you do get is a well packaged drive with a paper manual and a sticker that proclaims that your SSD is bad ass.

Mountain America Jerky: Small Batch Gourmet Jerky- 03/31/12
One of the first items I wanted to include in our product line at Stateside Man Goods (particularly for our specialty care packages to the troops) was a very high quality Beef Jerky. Jerky, to include Buffalo and other wild game, is something most people love- especially guys. And most definitely those in uniform serving far from home and good food.
My goal was to find a select few brands of gourmet jerky that was NOT your average store bought kind. We've accomplished this with our fantastic line of jerky products at Stateside Man Goods. Our great customers, including service members who have received our donated care packages filled with premium jerky, can attest to that!
Mountain America Jerky makes some of the best jerky available- anywhere. If you haven't tried Mountain America Jerky, you're truly missing out- and here's why…
Mountain America Jerky has been selling Gourmet jerky products since 1997. They specialize in beef jerky, game meat and exotic jerky. Mountain America Jerky is a small company that smokes their products on a daily basis. They do not store or warehouse their jerky products. They use a totally handmade, small batch process; from slicing, to marinade, to the smoker and packaging.
And believe me, you can taste the difference!
- Made without preservatives, MSG, nitrates, hormones, or steroids
- Handmade small batch process to ensure products are wholesome and fresh
- High in protein
- Beef comes from the USA- Colorado
- USDA/FDA approved
"This was some of the best beef jerky I've had. Flavor and texture were outstanding. Great job!"
"The stuff they sell at the convenience store counter doesn't have a right to be called jerky! Once I tried Mountain America I was hooked. It's absolutely delicious (addictive), and healthy to boot – really low in saturated fat and cholesterol, almost pure protein (I usually go for Elk or Buffalo)"
"My wife and I tried our first piece of Mountain America Jerky yesterday…needless to say that by the time we found the inner strength to close the bag again, it was mostly gone! This stuff is seriously tasty. You can tell that it's all-natural by the way that it tastes. We tried the Garlic Black Pepper Beef Jerkyand it is amazing. What a difference from the store-bought garbage!"
"I've tried them all, and they are all extremely good. Although Habanero is for guys and gals like myself who love the combination of lava and beef." – J. Skorton
"Now, when Mountain America Jerky states that their jerky is "NOT the 'thin shoe leather' style," they mean it. All of their varieties are moist yet, still maintain that jerky-like texture—amazing! Moreover, their jerky is not bathing in preservatives and additives but is no nonsense good old fashioned and natural." – Mariano Grinbank @ Examiner.com, August 23, 2011
So folks, there you have it. Grab up some Mountain America Jerky here. Holidays & Special Occasions- you can send a gift package filled with this fantastic jerky in a custom wood crate. It makes a great gift! Check out the Carnivore and Carnivore Ultimate Gift Package at www.statesidemangoods.com.

I just get back in town, see a couple suits talking to my neighbor as I pull into my garage. I get out, grab my bag and start to walk towards my door and 1 is in my garage that quick. He wants to talk about Jeebus's family, I say I'm leaving for out of town in 2 minutes and don't have time. Man, not in my yard 2 minutes and all that good xmassy feelings are gone already, and I haven't even been to work yet!

Do any of the drivers allow the use of UVD2? What kind of acceleration techniques can be use by which of the three drivers.
Do any of the drivers allow the use of UVD2? What kind of acceleration techniques can be use by which of the three drivers.
None of the drivers allow the use of UVD2 today. I expect that the XvBA API in fglrx will be the first.
Yep, I said that historically workstation has been the only real target market for fglrx, but I have also been saying that we're trying to ramp up consumer support to cover areas where sharing proprietary code can get features and/or performance into user's hands more quickly.
I'm pretty sure we can publicly support UVD2 in the fglrx driver. Not so sure about the open drivers yet.
TBD by whom, and why is he, she or it taking so long? The fglrx XvBA implementation must have been implemented months ago, so it aren't the devs who are holding it up.
Whomever is stalling this only gives more opportunity to Nvidia to poison the Linux users with their crap. Surely this is not something AMD wants!
Last edited by monraaf; 05-14-2009 at 01:48 PM.
Whats your definition of UVD2 support for fglrx, is it just possible in theory or has it been implemented already?
Already implemented. Probably needs to go through all the usual "new software" issues though.
Public release of the API is still TBD though.

(Community-Acquired Pneumonia; CAP; Bronchopneumonia)
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. It affects the small airways and air sacs in the lungs.
Development of Pneumonia in the Air Sacs of the Lungs |
The normal exchange of gases is interrupted by the build up of fluids. |
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
Pneumonia is sometimes described by where and how you were infected. Types of pneumonia include:
- Community-acquired—from the community, such as a school, gym, or at work
- Nosocomial—in a hospital or healthcare setting
- Aspiration—happens when foreign matter is inhaled into the lungs, such as food, liquid, saliva, or vomit
Pneumonia may be
caused by:
- Infection from specific types of:
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Fungi
- Aspiration
- Other specific germs
- Chemical exposure and irritation
Aspiration |
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
Risk Factors
Pneumonia is more common in older adults. Other factors that may increase your chance of developing pneumonia include:
- Living in crowded living conditions, such as dormitories or nursing homes
- Smoking
- Alcohol or drug abuse
- Trouble swallowing or coughing
- Having certain lung conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or cystic fibrosis
- Sleep apnea
- Being on a ventilator
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Weakened immune system
- Malnutrition
- Exposures to respiratory inhalants at work, such as:
- Ammonia
- Chlorine
- Minerals
- Vegetable dusts
Pneumonia may cause:
- Cough
- Chest pain
- Increased mucus production
- Fever and chills
- Trouble breathing
- Weakness
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may suspect pneumonia based on your symptoms, and breath and lung sounds. Tests can confirm diagnosis and determine the specific germ causing the pneumonia.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests and/or cultures
- Sputum culture
- Urine tests
Pulse oximetry measures blood oxygen levels.
Images may be taken of your lungs. This can be done with:
- A chest x-ray
- A lung ultrasound
Treatment of pneumonia depends on:
- What caused the pneumonia
- Severity of symptoms
- Other factors, like your overall health
People with severe pneumonia may need to be hospitalized.
Your doctor may advise:
- Antibiotics—for pneumonia caused by bacteria
- Antifungal medications—for pneumonia caused by fungi
- Antiviral medications—for pneumonia caused viruses, such as influenza
- Over-the-counter medications to reduce fever and discomfort
- Vitamin C may be advised if you don't get enough in your diet
- Oxygen therapy may be needed in more severe cases
It is important to take all medications as prescribed, even when you are feeling well.
Certain vaccines may prevent pneumonia:
- Flu vaccine—pneumonia may be a complication of the flu for people at high risk of infection, especially aged 50 years and older
- Pneumococcal vaccine:
- All adults who are aged 65 years or older
- Adults of any age who are at high risk of infection or have a suppressed immune system
Other preventive measures include:
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about how you can successfully quit. Smoke weakens the lungs' resistance to infection and increases recovery time.
- Avoid close contact with people who have the cold or flu.
- Wash your hands often, especially after coming into contact with someone who is sick..
- Protect yourself on jobs that include chemicals or other lung irritants.
- Maintain good control of any chronic disease, such as asthma and diabetes.

Around this time each week, New England players and coaches dig deep into their video and scouting reports on opposing teams. They're looking for patterns. They're looking for tendencies. They're looking for any little hint of anything they might be able to exploit.
Other teams, of course, devote the same time and energy to looking for the Patriots' patterns and tendencies each week.
And so Bill Belichick and his staff are spending the first few days of their bye week — since they don't have an opponent for which to game-plan for this coming Sunday — scouting their own team.
"We take a look at our statistical information — what we've done, how productive it has or hasn't been in all aspects, see what tendencies we have created and whether we're happy with those tendencies or whether we want to change them," Belichick said in a conference call on Tuesday evening.
"Then we go back and look at each of the individual plays and groups of plays and see if there's something that jumps out — or maybe we go into it looking for something and see what we can find.
"Sometimes we just look at it and you see a group of 15 or 20 plays in a certain situation — red area, two-minute, third down, outside runs, inside runs, whatever it happens to be. Sometimes something just jumps out at you. It's probably something you're aware of but maybe it's a little bit more prevalent than what you expected."
There's still only so much that can be accomplished in two weeks — especially if the coaches and players are going to take a mental break to go along with their physical break.
"If you try to tackle 100 things, you probably don't get anything accomplished," offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said. "We're in the process now of just trying to look back over the first half of the season and maybe more specifically the last so many games here, and try to focus on some things that we think can make us better heading into the last eight games."
Statistically, here's where the Patriots stand through eight games:
Five wins and three losses, putting them in first place in the AFC East by a half-game over the 4-3 Miami Dolphins.
First in the NFL in total offense with 3,526 yards, an average of 440.8 per game, more than 30 yards ahead of the next-best team.
Fifth in the NFL in passing offense and fifth in rushing, making them the only team ranked in the top 10 in both aspects.
Twenty-third in the NFL in total defense — eighth in rushing defense, 28th in passing defense.
Tied for first in the NFL in turnover margin at plus-13 — 20 takeaways, including 11 fumble recoveries, and seven giveaways.
Defensively, plenty will emerge through film study that will need to be improved. The over-the-top pass that killed New England at Seattle and cost the Patriots a first-quarter touchdown against St. Louis is only the most obvious area of emphasis.
"That's a big part of this week for us, certainly, to take a look at everything that we're doing and see some areas where we can improve," defensive coordinator Matt Patricia said, "and hopefully find some areas where we are doing some things that are also OK, things that we can build off."
But there's still plenty of work to be done on the offensive side of the ball, too — even if the offense looked about as good as it can look on Sunday against St. Louis.
A team with a 5-3 record can't afford to rest on any laurels.
"We're at where we deserve to be," quarterback Tom Brady said. "I don't think we've played any better than our record. We don't deserve to be any better than we are. Any team can be like, 'Without these handful of plays, we could be undefeated.' Damn near every team can say that.
"But we're not (undefeated), and there's a reason why. It's not like we've played great football over these last eight weeks. There's a lot of improvements we need to make, and there's a lot of things we can do better. We've got to get some guys healthy. We've got to get everybody moving forward and making a big push here in the second half because this is where the best teams start to show themselves."

In Cookie Clicker ClassicEdit
Two images from the Classic version, left: icon shown in the store, right: appearance in the middle field |
The Alchemy lab is the fifth most expensive item you can purchase. It will give you 500 cookies every 5 seconds by transforming gold.
It costs 100,000 cookies to start, and will increase in price 10% with each consecutive purchase. Some grandmas will change to that of a golden grandma.
Buying your first Alchemy Lab will increase Grandma output by +4 cookies per 5 seconds.
- You need at least 15 Alchemy Labs to purchase the "Transmuted Grandmas" upgrade.
- The Alchemy Lab of Cookie Clicker parodies one of the most well-known goals of Alchemy, to devise a way to transform lesser metals, such as lead, into higher metals, usually gold.
- The economic consequences of transforming the rare element of gold into cookie material has not been fully explored by the game, but it would likely cause inflation in many of the world's currencies. However, given that the player is likely to create cookies at a fast enough rate to end world hunger entirely, a post-scarcity economy may have emerged in its place, potentially limiting the need of a currencies to begin with.
- A news tick suggests that gold is not the only precious metal that can be used in Alchemy Labs. Silver can also be transmuted into white chocolate, according to the titles, but there are no other upgrades or achievements that support this. Additionally, the process of converting gold into cookies appears to be reversible.

A man credited with 'shaping Sydney's physical and culture landscape', with creating some of the city's most 'iconic public spaces', and 'ensuring the better design of all new residential buildings over three storeys', has been awarded Australia's top national architecture prize - the Australian Institute of Architects 2009 Gold Medal for Architecture.
Presenting the honour at a ceremony in Sydney, Australian Institute of Architects National President Howard Tanner said he was proud to announce that outstanding architect, landscape architect and urban design advocate Professor Ken Maher of HASSELL has won the 2009 Gold Medal.
Architecturally, Ken Maher is best known for the creation over the past 38 years of a large range of significant projects in Sydney, but also Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane, China and Melbourne. In Sydney alone, his projects include icons such as the restoration of Luna Park at North Sydney, the North Sydney Olympic Pool, Olympic Park Railway Station at Homebush, National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) buildings, and the new Epping Chatswood Rail Line. Overseas, he has provided the concepts for an innovative new sustainable city centre in Ningbo, China and leads the design team for the new underground railway station in Singapore. In Melbourne, he is designing a vast new workplace for the ANZ Bank at Melbourne's Docklands.
As importantly, he is known as an advocate for architectural 'engagement' and collaboration, for chairing one of Australia's largest practices, being a key contributor to half a dozen top state and national urban design committees, and for being instrumental in the introduction of the State Environment Planning Policy (SEPP) 65 in NSW, the residential design pattern book and the use of design review panels to vastly improve residential developments across Sydney.
