In support of Microsoft's new alliance with ARM Holdings, TabTimes has learned that Microsoft plans to have a launch event in the United Kingdom. ARM's headquarters is in Great Britain (Cambridge). Microsoft said it has no comment on its launch plans at this time.
A source close to one of the Windows 8 vendors says the launch will take place in the UK. Another source says the launch will take place October 22, but it's not necessarily exclusive to the UK.
Microsoft launched Windows 7 in both the UK and the U.S. (New York) and analyst Tim Bajarin said a dual event launch makes sense for Windows 8.
"That would be an important statement of support for ARM to have it in the UK, but if it was only in the UK, that would be kind of a slap in the face at Intel," said Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies.
Chip analyst Nathan Brookwood says a UK event with many of ARM's partners would help Microsoft convey the message that the new ARM-based tablets are an important part of the Windows 8 ecosystem.
"Companies stage launch events to bring a particular focus to a market or to a geography," says Brookwood, research fellow at Insight 64. "For example, AMD launched server chips in China a few months ago because it wanted to convey the market in China is growing and important. The Microsoft alliance with ARM is new and an event in the UK would underline its importance to Windows 8."
Some recent reports have dinged Microsoft for what's expected to be a fairly limited initial release of ARM-based tablets. Four likely candidates are Asus, Samsung, HTC and Nokia. The big PC vendors jumping on the Windows 8 tablet bandwagon are expected to ship Intel-based devices. These would include Acer, Dell, HP and Lenovo.
There will be a much broader range of Windows 8 PCs and notebooks available at launch, perhaps as many as 40, according to some reports.
Windows 8 devices will join a crowded field of tablets. ABI Research estimates there are already over 220 different tablet models on the market, the vast majority running Google's Android operating system. But Apple's iPad owns over 60% of the market, according to most research firms.

Lara Foley
Through a new cultural exchange program, TU students and faculty can have front-row seats observing the West African nation of Ghana emerge into the 21st century from its ancient past.
TU sociology professor Lara Foley joined approximately 20 faculty members from other American universities for the two-week Council for International Educational Exchange (CIEE) faculty development program at the University of Ghana in Accra, Ghana. The group attended lectures on a broad range of social issues, toured slave castles and rural villages, spent time in Kumasi (one of Ghana's large cities) and met with various institutional executives.
The CIEE program included lectures, field trips, and interdisciplinary discussions. Foley says she was most intrigued by the Ghanaian culture and development. Ghana is experiencing a "brain-drain" similar to what Foley says she sees here.
"We're having the same kind of conversations in Tulsa," she noted. "How do we attract and retain young professionals? Young Ghanaians, who may receive free, or relatively free educations in Ghana, leave for Europe or the United States where they can make more money. Some leave for higher education and never return, leaving [Ghana] without highly educated people to do the development work that needs to be done."
Leaders of key Ghanaian social institutions are focused on addressing the migration of young educated citizens from the country, and Foley observed how they are addressing the problem. On a visit to a new private university, the university's president, a former Microsoft executive, who returned to Ghana, welcomed her group. "He is concerned with giving back to his country," Foley said, "and he is succeeding in getting that vision across to his students, who are eager to stay and be change agents."
Since Foley's experience at the CIEE, TU has established cultural ties with the University of Ghana for faculty and students.
The first TU student to visit Ghana was Maddie Rogers, who studied there in spring 2008 with CIEE. Rogers, a senior from Colorado majoring in secondary English education with a sociology minor and an African American Studies Certificate, attended the University of Ghana and stayed at the CIEE student complex in Legon, a suburb of Accra.
Ghana's rapidly changing economic realities and cultural atmosphere make it a key site for study of cultural change and for the exploration of new social ties for TU.
Foley's trip to Ghana has shaped her ideas about future research possibilities, including the medical system as well as the emigration issue. She is also excited about the possibility of sabbaticals in Ghana and faculty exchange or research collaboration with the ties she made to faculty there.
As a follow-up to her CIEE participation, in October 2007, Foley invited Professor Akosua Adomako Ampofo from the University of Ghana to speak on TU's campus about women's issues.
TU students can study in Ghana as a result of the course Foley has organized with the Center for Global Education. Scheduled for TU's first summer session in 2009, the program will be a two-and-a-half week course in Ghana. The focus of the course will be specific social institutions in Ghana. The course, which is open to all majors, includes a prerequisite of at least one sociology course.
Since Ghana is moving so rapidly through a formative period of development, students can expect to have a unique opportunity to observe the impact of change on culture, to have their stereotypes about Africa challenged, and to explore the possibilities for expansion and hope blossoming in Ghana.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Charcoal for flavor AND gas for convenience. I have both, and if I need to cook something for dinner during the week, gas. If I have time to do it right, charcoal.
No question, charcoal. Someone gave us a gas grill that we used until it kind of fell apart. Still had the old Weber. The first time we did burgers, the taste was amazing.
Taste the meat, not the heat!
Neither, my friends. Let me introduce you to the magic of Traeger Smokers, excellent for all your meaty needs, capable of smoking for hours on end and producing the most succulent ribs, pulled pork, and/or brisket you've ever tasted, or just for throwing on a few steaks at a nice, consistent temperature. It doesn't get much better than that, oh, and they are pellet fueled, so yeah, neither.
Ol' Hickory wood!
Infrared! Love my TEC grill.
If charcoal gives you the BBQ flavor then charcoal filtered vodka has to taste like BBQ
few82 wrote:Ol' Hickory wood!
Now that's more up my alley. I voted "charcoal" because it's closest, but really I cook over hardwoods when available. The plum wood I have left over from pruning my trees is great for chicken and pork.
Hardwood charcoal in my Big Green Egg. Obviously, it's not as convenient as turning a knob on a gas grill, but I think it's worth the extra effort. I very often am cooking on my BGE 3-4 (or more) times a week.
gas fired smoker!
2nd for wood, especially hickory. Oak for a lighter, different flavor. I just smoked some peppers over maple yesterday as an experiment. Will let you know how the salsa turns out.
I grill with propane and propane accessories, I tell you hwat.
Both have their place we all know, but if you could pick I don't know how you could NOT pick charcoal.
Smoker! Add whatever wood chips. Mesquite, apple, sugar maple, hickory, alder, cherry and I use my own grape vines... For burgers or steaks, I use gas or charcoal, depending how lazy I am. You can still add chips to a gas grill!

My outdoor grill is electric. Small, portable, easy. Oh, the sear plate gets to 500 degrees so do't think is is a toaster.
I'm assuming Wooters are all smart enough to never use lighter fluid.
Personally I like cooking with fusion power. From a safe distance.

Women shine in Tuesday's primaries, especially for the GOP
Good showings for female Republican candidate in Tuesday's primaries hold the promise of more women in elected office, reflecting society's faster pace toward gender equity.
In the dozen states that held primaries Tuesday, female candidates not only did well but many of the women ran on a GOP ticket – which may help turn around that party's reputation as a male bastion.
These ballot victories for women need to be noted, as Congress is still only 14 percent female while only 6 of 50 state governors are women.
Equality in politics has been slow-paced for women compared with other parts of American society. This year, for example, the nation passed an important milestone: For the first time in history, women outnumber men in the workplace. And that trend may only continue as colleges now enroll more women than men.
Voters, of course, don't always reward a female candidate for being a woman. Just ask Hillary Rodham Clinton, who lost the 2008 race to be a candidate for president. And in heavily Democratic Massachusetts, a January contest for the Senate seat once held by Ted Kennedy went to a state GOP lawmaker, Scott Brown, over Martha Coakley, the state's attorney general.

The Graduate School helps students to succeed academically and professionally by providing individual attention and access to cutting-edge research and scholarship.
Home › Academics › Colleges › Graduate School
The reasons graduate students select TU are often the very reasons they decided to pursue graduate studies in the first place. Our graduate students want to...
TU is in a unique position to offer our graduate students the best features of a small college and a large, comprehensive university.
Our graduate students are integral and vital members of research teams, and work individually with faculty members who are on the cutting edge of their fields. They also work closely with faculty members in charting their course for their graduate studies in completing their master's or doctoral degrees.
TU is large enough to provide a wide variety of course offerings, faculty and professional advising, student services and extensive research opportunities.
At TU, graduate students have opportunities to participate in research, internships or practica that give them first-hand experience in a particular discipline, while also affording them opportunities to publish their findings and present their research at conferences.
Our students know what it is like to work in their field before they enter it as a professional. And in many cases, they have an offer to work in that field before they graduate.

Har Yug Me Aayega Ek Arjun. Yes, lead actor Shaleen Malhotra is the new action hero on the small screen fighting crime and criminals.
Shaleen, whose claim to fame was participating in youth reality show Roadies in the second season, was later also seen assisting the audition rounds in next few seasons. Given the stunts in his new weekend show, we speak to Shaleen about his fitness role models and workout schedule.
Ask him about his exercise regimen and he says, "While working out I concentrate more on exercises related to strength and endurance. I focus on strengthening muscles. I work out for one and a half hours every alternate day." So does he follow a fix diet? He replies, "No. I believe people should eat what they like but should know how to burn it. Eat healthy and work it out."
So while working out for the rough and tough look, was there a specific area which required more attention? Shaleen says, "My abs have been a problem area because I have a tendency to put on weight easily there." And what would his strengths be? He replies, "I think my biceps and legs are the strong areas in my body."
Talking about his fitness role model, he says, "Well, there are so many people. But to name one - Jason Statham. He has a great body. Back home it has to be Hrithik Roshan in male celebrities and Sushmita Sen in female celebrities. She is the true Indian diva."

By the time you read this, there's a good possibility that whoever is in charge of NBA.com will come to his or her senses and fix this mess. But as of 12:30 a.m. ET, the above picture is a screen capture of what the NBA's official website looked like a half hour after the lockout commenced.
I get that the company website is pretty far down the list of priorities right now, but I guess I took for granted that whoever was going to be in charge of updating the site once the lockout kicked in had something better than a Dreamweaver course on his programming résumé. To be frank, when I took this screen capture, NBA.com looked like Geocities had drunken sex with an AOL CD and the birth mother had substance abuse problems. Maybe this kind of thing doesn't matter to people who aren't Web nerds like myself but… damn.

Bobby Johnson medicine in my soul to trynna dodge the coffin
from TDE (Ft. Ab-Soul, Isaiah Rashad, Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar & ScHoolboy Q) – BET Cypher 2013 Lyrics on Genius
This is a play on both the herb that Herb (Soul's name is Herbert) is smokin' and a character from Stephen Milburn Anderson's: South Central
The medicine in his (Soda) is a reference to Promethazine syrup, which is used medically to reduce the cough reflex. Bobby Johnson gets bodied in the movie South Central, which is the other play on the words of coffin/coughin'. Soul wants to dodge the same fate that got "OG Bobby Johnson"

- Press Release
- Read a summary of the results of the NBP taken from the report, below
The NOx Budget Trading Program (NBP) is a market-based cap and trade program created to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from power plants and other large combustion sources in the eastern United States. NOx is a prime ingredient in the formation of ground-level ozone, a pervasive air pollution problem in many areas in the East. The NBP was designed to reduce NOx emissions during the warm summer months, referred to as the ozone season, when ground-level ozone concentrations are highest. This report provides background on ozone formation and effects and evaluates progress under the NBP in 2006. The report examines reductions, reviews compliance results and market activity, and compares changes in emissions to changes in ozone concentrations.
The NBP, a Cap and Trade Program, Is Effectively Reducing Emissions across a Broad Region
- The emission budget for each state, set by EPA, creates a cap on emissions at a level chosen to help states meet their air quality goals.
- In 2006, emissions were again below the region-wide cap.
- With high compliance, reduced emissions, and an active trading market, the NBP is delivering important public health and environmental results.
There Have Been Improvements in Nonattainment Areas in the East since Implementation of the NBP
- In 2004, EPA designated 104 areas in the East as 8-hour ozone standard nonattainment areas. In 2006, four out of five of the original nonattainment areas now meet the ozone standard. The vast majority of the remaining areas also came closer to attainment.
- The NBP is the most significant contributor among several EPA programs leading to improvements in ozone.
Ozone Season NOx Emissions Have Declined across the Region
- Total NOx Budget Trading Program (NBP) NOx Emissions in 2006 were 491 thousand tons.
- Affected electric generators and large stationary sources in NBP states have reduced ozone season (May 1 - September 30) NOx emissions:
- 74% from 1990 (before implementation of the Clean Air Act Amendments),
- 60% from 2000 (before implementation of the NBP), and
- 7% from 2005.
- The main reason for this has been the NBP, but reductions also occurred due to the Acid Rain NOx Program, CAA Title I RACT, and other state controls.
Sources Achieved a High Level of Compliance
- Compliance in 2006 with the NBP was 99.7%.
- Out of a total of 2,579 units affected by the NBP in 2006, only 4 sources (total of 7 units) were out of compliance:
- 2 sources (with 2 units) from the power sector and
- 2 sources (with 5 units) from the industrial sector.
Decreases in Ozone Have Occurred since Implementation of the NBP
- Ozone concentrations decreased by 5-8% in the NBP region since implementation of the NBP.
- There is a strong association between areas with the greatest reductions in NOx emissions and nearby downwind sites exhibiting the greatest improvements in ozone.
- Areas with the largest NOx emissions reductions include: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

I have to agree with the often voiced opinion that the weather patterns are changing, and that we are indeed in an ongoing drought. I only hope it's not like the one that drove the ancient people from here in the 1400s, which apparently lasted for forty years! It was so different in the early 70's, when I had first arrived in Arizona, and my ex-husband and I were managing a large farm – I remember spending many a time balancing on top of the loaded wheat trucks, trying to cover them with heavy tarpaulins in the face of gusty winds, fighting off the thunderstorms and slanting rain. Perhaps I am now being punished – when we were trying to get the wheat in before the rains came, I vividly recall praying to the god of weather, asking him to ignore the pleas of ranchers who needed the rains, and to listen to us, who didn't need them … just yet! It reminds me of an ancient Hebrew prayer which, obviously voiced by a farmer, says: "Lord, heed not the prayers of those about to embark on a journey…" – as they would need sunny weather. I guess we haven't changed much in all these thousands of years – still looking out for number one! Anyway, little did I know then that I would shortly become one of the ranchers, be praying for the rain, and to blazes with the farmers and their wheat crops! What a cacophony God must be receiving from all of us 6 billion warring, whining people down here! Anyway – that's my bit of philosophy for the day!
Still on the subject of thunderstorms, I am currently reading a fascinating book by Greta Ehrlich, who is one of my favorite authors. A few years ago she wrote a wonderful book called "The Solace of Open Spaces", where she recounts the years she spent sheep herding in the vastness of the Wyoming mountains. It's a great book – you can almost feel the wind rushing through the pages. Now I am reading one called "A Match to the Heart", another autobiographical book, where she recounts her experience of having been struck by lightning. Living with lightning is something most of us take for granted – storms come and go, and, even though we hear of some people being killed, they are generally people doing silly things like playing golf, or walking about with an open umbrella, thus providing an easy target. However, in the author's case, she was doing none of the above – she was just taking a walk with her dogs. The book deals with the awful time of her recovery, and, reading it, I would think that she must often have wished for the lightning bolt to have killed her rather than to live through such misery. The greatest problems were with her heart, which was so affected that, at times, it simultaneously slowed her pulse to about 30, while at the same time dropping her blood pressure to dangerously low levels so she would pass out, often in excruciating pain. However, here is the interesting thing – she mentions that this was her second lightning strike, that she had been struck by lightning once before, when the bolt traveled from the ground, up the legs of her horse and hit her. (She doesn't say what happened to the horse, if anything.) So this made me think about another man I had read about, a forest ranger who had been struck by lightning seven time, once even while sitting in his pickup – and then I remember all those times when I remained horseback, walked through groves of trees in thunder storms so awful that literally one bolt after another struck the ground around me. And so my conclusion is that perhaps there are some people who attract lightning more than others – some chemical mix in their body, perhaps? Anyway, I recommend the book – and I guarantee that after you read it, you will stay indoors during lighting storms!Another two books I read recently were the autobiographies of our two great First Ladies, Barbara Bush and Laura Bush. Both books are well written and very interesting, but the most fascinating thing about them is how hectic life in the White House is. One might think that the President and First Lady live in luxury, being waited on hand and foot – well, not quite! First of all, they have to pay their own expenses – the Nation only picks up the cost of what one might call "business" events, but otherwise, you're paying for yourself. And forget the waited on hand and foot bit – it's not being waited on, it's constant intrusion of other people into your private life, which totally disappears. And for what? To be called nasty things in the press, to have untruths written about you, to have your husband maligned, to have every action you undertake criticized, second guessed, unappreciated. I wonder why anyone would want to do it!
And so, still on the subject of books, Bonnie in the front office has got herself a Kindle. I had, of course, been aware of these incredible pieces of technology for some time, but had never seen one until one of our guests, an avid reader, brought one here and showed me how he can download instant copies of every newspaper and magazine ever written (why? I asked myself) as well as almost any book ever written. I was impressed with his demonstration – and then Bonnie bought one. She says she loves it, carts it about everywhere, and wouldn't be without it. For me – the only thing I really like about it is that you can vary the size of the letters. My near eyesight is pretty good, but still, there are some books which are printed with such small print that it's a strain to read them, so, in that case, a Kindle would be handy. But on the other hand, I like "Books"! I like the feel of them, I like the smell of them, I like, in some cases, the fact that they are old, with previous owners' names written in them – they are history, they are the past, they are, in a certain sense, alive! So I guess I will remain Kindleless and enjoy reading all the books I have, many still unread. When my parents died, I inherited their library of thousands, added it to my own, and, as my mother and I shared a love of history, there are many biographies of kings and queens, and summaries of world events I have not yet opened – but I love the idea of the books sitting there, waiting for me.

It's hard to ignore all the announcements, rumors, and chatter that is surrounding information about the next generation of home consoles. Right now, the Wii U is already in stores, the Playstation 4 has been announced and shown off, and the Xbox One was recently teased by Microsoft, focusing more on the hardware than the software. We as a consumer are now being introduced to the next generation, while our Wii's, PS3's, and Xbox 360's are still on our shelves, getting lots of attention. Although personally, I have switched a majority of my titles to the PC, a great deal of us are still playing our current generation systems on a daily basis. Not only that, but great games are still coming out for them. With the release of Bioshock Infinite and the soon to be released titles like Grand Theft Auto V and The Last of Us, it seems like our current generation of consoles are going to be around for a long, long while. So then what's the deal with the next generation?
Microsoft themselves announced that they would be supporting the Xbox 360 for at least another five years, easing the mind of anyone who won't be purchasing the Xbox One any time soon. This shows just how easy it is to support the current generation of consoles. Games are still being made for them at a rapid pace, money is being spent for them, and consumers are happy for them. Despite the claims that Microsoft and Sony are making over how they have improved the consoles technologically, does that really warrant a new generation of consoles?

Using Graphics in CSS Styles
Want to add a repeating image to your site's header, use custom bullets in a list, or position an image that remains in place on your site even when users scroll down? You can accomplish all of these effects using the CSS background property.
You may already be familiar with setting background images in table cells. The CSS equivalent is more flexible, with more options for positioning and displaying that background image. It's also good to learn how to use the CSS syntax for background images in case you find yourself working on a tableless, CSS-only site, which I find clients will sometimes request.
Background image basics
Let's start by specifying the path to the background image in your CSS code:
h1 {background-image: url(underline.jpg);}
You can use either the local path or a complete Web address to the image. Next, you can control whether this image should repeat horizontally or vertically. In geometry terms, this can be stated as repeating across the x-axis or y-axis, respectively. For this reason, these attributes are known as "repeat-x" and "repeat-y", as shown below:
h2 { background-image: url(image.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; } h3 { background-image: url(image.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; }
Leaving off the x- or y-axis parameter allows the image to repeat in both directions. You can also specify if the image should not repeat:
body { background-image: url(image.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; } #main { background-image: url(image.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; }
Fixed background images
It's possible to have your background image remain displaying in a fixed position on your screen, even as users scroll up and down the page. The effect is similar to the way TV networks may place a logo in the corner of the screen during a show.
#main { background-image: url(image.jpg); background-attachment: fixed; }
Similarly, you can specify the exact position where an image should display within an HTML element using the background-position property. You specify the position location using exact pixel values, percentages, or keywords that describe the location. I've included an example of each below:
#pixelplaced { background-image: url(image.jpg); background-position: 25px 10px; } #header { background-image: url(image.jpg); background-position: 20% 10%; } #footer { background-image: url(image.jpg); background-position: bottom right; }
In the above description for the #pixelplaced style, the image's location will be placed 25 pixels from the left of the screen and 10 pixels from the top of the screen. In the example using percentages above the # header style the image's location will be 20% from the left of the screen and 10% from the top of the screen, where A and B are integers. When using positioning keywords, you can use the following terms: top, right, bottom, left, and center.
Bullet images in CSS
One useful purpose for the background property is to replace ordinary bullets in lists with your own graphics. To do so, you start by redefining the <ul> tag, which controls unordered lists (those using bullets, not numbers):
ul { list-style-type: none; padding-left: 0; margin-left: 0; }
This removes the bullet markers as well as any indentations that a browser might apply.
Next, let's specify the bullet graphics for each list item -- the <li> tag:
li { background: url(image.gif); background-position: left center; background-repeat: no-repeat }
You can shorten this collection of background properties - as well as any of those in earlier code examples above - with a single background declaration:
li {background: url(image.gif) left center no-repeat;
In this example the browser will place the image at the left edge of the list item. To position the bullet more accurately, you can use pixel values instead of these kinds of positioning keywords.
However, at this point, the text for each <li> tag will appear directly atop the bullet. To pad this out a little, just insert a padding value to the left side of the <li> style. If the graphic is 15 pixels wide, for example, you might put 20 pixels of padding on the left-hand side. Similarly, you could add to the top or bottom margins if the list items appear stacked too tightly together. To sum up, a list item that uses a custom graphic with extra padding and extra spacing in the top margin might look like the following example:
li { background: url(image.gif) left center no-repeat; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; }

Phytolacca americana
Principal Proposed Uses
We recommend against using pokeroot at all.
The herb pokeroot grows wild in many parts of North America. The name comes from a Native American word, "pocan," a term that indicates any plant used to provide a red-colored dye. Pokeroot is a source of a blood-red pigment. Medicinally, it was used as an "alterative," a substance that supposedly removes toxins from the body and restores overall health. Like other alteratives, pokeroot was used for the treatment of cancer, skin conditions, and many other diseases attributed to toxins. Pokeroot causes vomiting and diarrhea, and these effects were also traditionally considered salutary.1 However, in modern times, it has become clear that pokeroot causes vomiting and diarrhea because it is toxic; it should not be used at all.
Pokeroot itself is not sold in the United States. However, substances found in pokeroot have shown promise for drug development. One of these, "pokeroot antiviral protein," has shown potential as a treatment for HIVand other viral infections.2-10
Note, however, that these findings on one ingredient of pokeroot do not indicate that the whole herb is useful for HIV infection.
Another substance in pokeroot, "pokeweed mitogen," forces cells to divide, a property that has led to a great deal of scientific investigation.11-18
These mitogenic effects are potentially quite dangerous, and are more an argument against the use of pokeroot than for it.
Other pokeroot constituents have shown potential anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and blood pressure–lowering effects.19

Pain relief is important for women in labour. Pharmacological methods of pain relief include inhalation of nitrous oxide, injection of opioids and regional analgesia with an epidural for a central nerve block. Epidurals are widely used for pain relief in labour and involve an injection of a local anaesthetic into the lower region of the spine close to the nerves that transmit pain. Epidural solutions are given by bolus injection, continuous infusion or using a patient-controlled pump. Lower concentrations of local anaesthetic are needed when they are given together with an opiate, allowing women to maintain the ability to move around during labour and to bear down. Epidural analgesia may sometimes give inadequate analgesia, which may be due to non-uniform spread of local anaesthetic. Combined spinal-epidural involves a single injection of local anaesthetic or opiate into the cerebral spinal fluid for fast onset of pain relief as well as insertion of the epidural catheter for continuing pain relief. Side effects such as itchiness, drowsiness, shivering and fever have been reported and rare but potentially severe adverse effects of epidural analgesia do occur.
The review identified 38 randomised controlled studies involving 9658 women. All but five studies compared epidural analgesia with opiates. Epidurals relieved labour pain better than other types of pain medication but led to more use of instruments to assist with the birth. Caesarean delivery rates did not differ overall and nor were there effects of the epidural on the baby soon after birth; fewer babies needed a drug (naloxone) to counter opiate use by the mother for pain relief. The risk of caesarean section for fetal distress was increased. Women who used epidurals were more likely to have a longer delivery (second stage of labour), needed their labour contractions stimulated with oxytocin, experienced very low blood pressure, were unable to move for a period of time after the birth (motor blockage), had problems passing urine (fluid retention) and suffered fever. Long-term backache was no different. Further research on reducing the adverse outcomes with epidurals would be helpful.

WASA commits to 'study' future rebate
PTC authority may use refinancing savings to reduce PTC sewer bills
The Peachtree City Water and Sewer Authority has pledged to study whether it can offer a "rebate" to its ratepayers utilizing the annual savings from its recently-refinanced bonds.
The authority voted unanimously Monday night to explore the matter in September at the end of its fiscal year so the savings can be included in WASA's annual budget discussions.
Authority member Phil Mahler was vehement that the savings should be passed along to ratepayers, but WASA General Manager Stephen Hogan warned of a potential upcoming pipe repair list that could cost more than $2.8 million, although spread out over an undetermined length of time.
Undeterred, Mahler pressed on, arguing that with the savings from the bond of approximately $220,000 a year, WASA could divvy that money among its 10,534 customers to the tune of $20.78 a year or $1.73 a month over 12 months.
"At least that way ratepayers will know that you care about them," Mahler said.
New authority member John Harrell said he was concerned if ratepayers would realize they were saving a dollar or more on each of their monthly bills, but he also understood that the move would create "good will."
New authority member Terry Garlock said he was more worried about $1.1 million being moved from a debt service reserve fund, which is no longer needed due to the refinancing, to the authority's "renewal and extension" capital projects fund. Hogan explained that when the authority several years ago had to create the debt reserve fund on an emergency basis, it took the money from the renewal and extension fund.
"I understand, but it's money the authority learned to live without for a while," Garlock said.
Hogan also noted it has been a long time since the authority has made any significant repairs or upgrades to the sewer collection system or treatment plants in a number of years.
The collection system pipe repairs Hogan referred to are being discovered by video-camera enabled robots that have been inspecting the entire sewer collection system. Although the latest estimate for the repairs is upwards of $2.8 million, that is expected to change as the inspection process is not yet fully complete, Hogan told the authority.
The authority raised its rates in October 2010 by about $20 for most residential customers in response to budget problems caused in part by the drought which resulted in a revenue crunch as water restrictions prevented intensive lawn watering. WASA board members were excoriated by several council members over the rate increase, and behind the scenes council investigated the possibility of retaking control of the sewer system from the authority, although that idea was ultimately nixed.
until those little red robots have finished their work filming everyone's toilet holes, no one knows what shape the system is in and how much repairs/replacements will cost. So everyone just cool your jets till the facts are known. I think we can find enough to whine about till then. Peee yewwww.

I have a PII 266, Diamond Viper 770 AGP (nonultra), 128 mb of RAM, large permanent swap file, DX 7.0a installed, and am running Win 98 First Ed (fully updated/patched). I just got the Viper recently, and dl'ed the Nvidia reference drivers. What game settings will give me the best look/performance? Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

I have 2 oz of these in 13%AA and wanted to know the best place for them in the boil. I read they are a good late addition and aroma hop. Anyone use these? What kind of flavor-aroma do they give off? Good hop -bad hop ? I wanted to use these in a Pale. Cheers
Never used them, but at 13% AA I would assume they are a bittering hop, just as good as any other. If you want to get a real feel for the hop, brew a beer with them; add some at 60 minutes for bittering (not too much at 13% AA!!), 15-30 for flavor, and at 'flameout' for aroma. See what it gives you...
From wiki: Horizon - American high alpha cross made in Oregon in 1970 from Nugget. Soft bitterness; good aromatic qualities. (Alpha acid 11–13% / beta acid 6.5–8.5%)
Supposedly they're a very clean, pleasant hop. I plan to use them in a sweet stout for Bittering/Flavor but have never used them before, If I remember I'll post the results. Good luck!
Digging up an old thread as I'm looking for more information on Horizon hops. Does anyone have much experience with using Horizon for aroma/flavour? I have some Horizon and Columbus that I'm looking at making an American amber with (in about a 2:1 ratio horizon:columbus). Any feedback on this would be much appreciated.
I used horizon in an IPA ages ago alongside Amarillo. It was a nice combination. Very tropical/citrus, almost like pineapple.

The Moore brothers, Jordan and Gabe, are close knit, and Friday night Gabe humbly smiled as he talked about breaking the single game rushing record previously held by his brother, Jordan.
Moore carried the ball 33 times and accumulated 322 yards to set a new school record as Monroe celebrated a 29-22 overtime victory over Arlington Friday night in Monroe.
"That's my (personal) record and I'm pretty sure that breaks a school record that my brother had last year. So that's a pretty great accomplishment. I'm going to call him up tonight," Gabe Moore said after the game.
In heavy rain both teams played error-free football until the final three and a half minutes of the game. The Monroe offense had driven the ball down to the Arlington 6-yard line when Moore fumbled the ball and Arlington recovered.
"I knew that drive was super important and once I fumbled the ball I knew, 'all right we got to get it back. I have to make a play and get it back,'" Moore said.
Using all but 33 seconds of the game clock, Arlington drove down the field before the Monroe defense stiffened and forced them to punt. Monroe took the ball on their own 19 yard line and opted to run out the clock and force overtime with the score tied at 22 – 22.
After the coin toss, Monroe had the ball first in overtime according to the Kansas City overtime rules. Driving from their own twenty-five yard line Moore carried the ball three times for 13 yards before his teammate Max Blais put the Bearcats ahead with a four yard burst up the middle.
Then it was Arlington's turn from the 25-yard line. Arlington managed to pick up a first down to Monroe's 14-yard line before the Monroe defense, on 4th down and one yard to go, forced Arlington's John Decker to fumble ending the overtime and giving Monroe the victory.
Monroe's Tanner Lippincott recovered the fumble and said "I landed on it, and I did not know I was on it till the last second and grabbed a hold of it as tight as I could".
After the game Coach Abrams said, "In the second half, it was just like a slugging match, you know, back and forth and back and forth. Our defense, I thought, played really well against a great offense. And then our offense was able to move the ball when we needed to. That was a great game. Both teams were amazing. Playing back and forth. Nobody giving up."

This is my new HG tinted moisturizer. It is very light and non-greasy, adds moisture and makes my skin look radiant, but nobody would ever guess that I have anything on my face. The med-light formula works perfectly on my NC20 skintone. Sunblock ingredients often causes a burning sensation for me, but this doesn't at all, and it has an SPF of 20. I'm not sure if it will actually improve my skin like a treatment, but I wear it for protection and subtle coverage, and am thrilled with it for that purpose. For comparison, I also love Laura Mercier's TM, which is different-thicker and heavier coverage, less moisturizing, and much more like foundation. I cannot goop the LM on for extra SPF or it will look cakey. Smarty Plants is more natural looking. I can put on a lot of it when I know I'll be out in the sun, without the worry that it will look gobbed on. Since I can't apply the LM generously, I always worry that I don't have enough on to give me a true SPF 20.

This is not bad! My face looks healthy, even, glowy. Not a lot of coverage but that is to be expected. It smells great, like many origins products. It is light & not hard to blend.
I wouldn't say it's a true CC cream. More like a tinted moisturizer.
I had a sample but I'd definitely wouldn't mind trying it again.
I got this as a sample, which includes the light to medium and the medium to dark.
Color: I'm Asian, and typically fair skinned, so my undertones tend to be yellow-ish. However right now I'm tan, so the light to medium was too light and the medium to dark was too dark. Mixed together, the color was o.k, but I wouldn't purchase the product if I had to buy two to mix together. Also, I could tell that the light to medium wouldn't even suit my fair skin in the winter because it's too pink toned. The medium to dark can kind of come off orange-ish as well, so unless this matches your skin tone perfectly, you have to be careful and watch out for streakiness.
Texture: I really liked the texture of this cream as it is light for a CC cream and therefore doesn't feel too heavy on your face like a foundation. However, this does mean that you sacrifice coverage, so it's a give and take. I didn't find it greasy, and after my skin absorbed it, my skin feels pretty smooth. As a bonus, it smells awesome! I love SPF products that have that citrus-y smell.
Does it do what it says it will: As I only got a sample, it's hard to tell. I did not think that it instantly color corrected my skin. To me, this product worked more as a tinted moisturizer than a CC cream. However, its promises to neutralize things that cause skin damage over time therefore make you look younger might be worthwhile to try the product over a longer run.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have tried all types of CC creams, this one is the only one that had the right shade for me (light-medium) and didn't dry out my skin or enhance fine lines. It goes on smoothly, doesn't blotch, isn't shiny, greasy or chalky. Has a nice SPF. I use it daily when I leave the house. If your looking for something that covers skin problems, this isn't for you. If you just want to look refreshed and not made up-then this is what your looking for. I use regular foundation when I go out socially.
I purchased this after trying the tester and comparing it to the Smashbox CC cream. Origins Smarty Plants is very lightweight and provides sheer coverage, which I preferred to the heavy texture of the other sample. It is very subtle and corrected my uneven skin tone, but any blemishes are still visible. Goes on easy and is buildable for more coverage. I love the SPF and my sensitive skin has not had any negative reaction to it so far. Perfect starter as my first CC cream, and I would highly recommend it for use on 'no makeup' days.
This is my first CC cream, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. I have it in the Light/Medium shade, which works very well for my very fair skin and adds a bit of tint. The coverage is very light, almost sheer. From that perspective it is very comparable to some sheer tinted moisturizers. It gives me a natural finish, without being oily or shiny. It has SPF 20, which is a bit low for me, so I use sunscreen underneath it. It has a smell reminiscent of GinZing, but it is not strong and disappears in a few minutes. It claims to contain antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental damage.
What I like about this product is that it allows me to skip a step (i.e., I can put on the sunscreen and the cream and go out). This is important to me during the summer months, because my face does not feel like it's melting. A good tinted moisturizer does the same. I can't speak about how well the antioxidants work as this is difficult to judge.
In summary, to me this is a tinted moisturizer with a few added benefits. The price is pretty comparable to similar products. I may repurchase for use during summer months.

KOZHIKODE: Government has decided to go soft on passport fraud cases involving 'minor' tampering of passports caught at the Karipur airport following political pressure from the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Karipur police have been directed not to register cases against persons involved in passport fraud cases relating to tampering of date of birth (DoB) which is being widely practiced by expats in Malabar and travel agents to secure jobs in the Gulf. Instead, the police will refer the cases to the passport officer concerned who can settle the case by slapping a fine.
Currently all the passport fraud cases registered at the airport are forwarded to the crime detachment wing for enquiry and cases are charged under IPC 420 (cheating), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating) and 471 (using as genuine a forged document) and Section 12 of the Indian Passport Act.
As the IPC sections involve non-bailable offenses, over 100 expats who have been nabbed from the Karipur airport on their return from Gulf countries this year alone have been remanded in custody and had their passports impounded for tampering with DoB.
The issue had come up for discussions at the recent state working committee meeting of the IUML and top party leaders had raised the matter with the state home minister last week. The DGP is known to have directed the Malappuram district police chief to take necessary steps in this regard.
Karipur SI Sree Kumar told TOI that he had received oral directions from the district police chief to refer passport fraud cases involving 'minor tampering' to the passport officer and release the person involved.
Malappuram passport officer K Abdul Rashid said that more than 90% of the passport fraud cases caught at the Karipur airport was related to tampering of DoB to get driver jobs in the Gulf which had a minimum age limit of 25. "With the commissioning of passport reading machine at the immigration counters, the number of people who are getting caught on their return from the Gulf has increased significantly. The punishment for altering the entries made on the passports under the Passport Act is imprisonment for a term up to 2 years or fine up to Rs 5,000 or both. The passport officer is a quasi-judicial officer who can decide whether to settle the matter with a fine or to recommend it for prosecution," he said.
The move, however, has raised concerns that it could lead to slack enforcement of laws relating to various passport fraud. The Karipur airport had seen 111 cases of passport fraud so far this year.Incidentally a report by ADGP intelligence had recommended action against immigration officials who had served in the airport before, under whose watch people with tampered passports were allowed to fly to the Gulf.

What usually works better for installing x86 programs, linux32 or creating a chroot 32 environment? I am guessing it is a bit of both. My main goal is to get some of my old Loki games running. Using the linux32 command I have had success with... -Railroad Tycoon and patches, needed the patches to start -Alpha Centauri, though the patch will not install, the game starts -SimCity 3000 is kicking me hard, it installs, but not completely, seems to be missing some files, including the executable. Patch has problems because it cant find all the needed files of the install. -and a few other games I have yet to try. So would a chroot environment perhaps help with the problem apps? I am sure I am not the first on this path, so how have some you done who have tried these games? Thanks Sean -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

I don't see any pieces of crown on many of these roots; some may have a remnant of a crown, but most appear not to. Daylilies require a crown segment in order to grow. The picture is of the common ditch lily. |

Heh. My personal opinion is that we have too many trustees right now, but that's not necessarily shared by anybody else. In any event, no, the number of trustees has not been decided. That's why I wrote my proposal the way I did, which would allow the voters to effectively decide that number. (If a voter thinks there should only be five trustees, she only votes for five.) Of course, this idea may be entirely untenable. As for the idea of having two-year terms, I tend to think that our turnover is just too high for that. It's rare for devs to be active for two years, and a two-year term essentially requires that they be active for three years (with the first year required for foundation membership). -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer firstname.lastname@example.com http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76

Who else has the obsession? Im getting ridiculous with this! i currently have 6 and 4 more on the way! They're quite massive plants as well. Its a sad day when you sell and give away plants you have multiples for to clear room for giant jungle cactus's lol. Anyone else have the epi itch? |

I'm obsessed with Rhipsalis, Schlumbergera, and Hatiora. i have an obsession with Epiphyllum as well even thought I don't own any. |
As you can see your not alone, grrr24000 :) I too absolutely love epiphyllums....although I have never actually witnessed a bloom. Only through pictures and a video or two. I purchased my first epi hybrid mid winter this year, it was in terrible shape so I took a cutting for insurance. Might not see blooms for another couple years. Supposedly red/fuschia blooms. If I do get any more, it will be epi ackermanii or a hybrid with very unusual coloring like the overpriced ones on logees. |
Oh yes I'm with you. I love them. I currently have 1 that Ive grown from a cutting and a Ric Rac that is getting pretty large. I haven't had blooms yet. I'm sure a bloom would just send me into straight buying frenzy! |

I am fighting this itch with all my might...lol...not working too well. I bought my first epi this spring and it has grown tremendously! So...it hit me I purchased a few cuttings, then I bought a few ric rac cuttings and these have taken off too! Notice I didn't mention all the christmas and easter cactus! I've looked at all the wonderful colors of epi and I don't know how much longer I can resist especially with how well these grow for me. |

Started out with a day and night blooming Epi from a dear friend and I have had one bloom on the night blooming one. I have been buying several cuttings on Ebay, I love them ! Also interested in the Rat Tail Cactus, Easter Cactus and blooming Rhipsalis, so you have a lot of good company definitely not alone! :) |

I want to order some relatively ordinary bulbs for fall - daffodils, crocuses, dutch iris (well rhizomes for that one). I'm starting to get catalogs, but I've only gotten two so far which seemed to have reasonable prices, and both of those had bad reviews when I looked them up online. So where would you all recommend ordering from? |

I got some from willowcreekgardens.com and they seemed reasonable (quality - yet to be seen after a season), also twomblynursery.com (bought a couple of years ago) whose bulbs were nice-sized and well-priced; Would like to try http://www.vanengelen.com/pejtest/SALEHTML.HTM, whose ratings on Dave's gardens are good - maybe I will try next year. |

I have used Van Engelen/John Scheepers for several years and always receive high quality bulbs/roots and excellent service. I purchase in large quantities for local fund raising events and have many repeat customers each year. |
I want to order some relatively ordinary bulbs for fall - daffodils, crocuses, dutch iris If you are just wanting some relatively ordinary things, why not just pick them up at some Big Box stores...Lowe's, Home Depot, Walmart, etc. Often they have some different choices and it would save you on shipping. btw...dutch irises are grown from bulbs. Bearded irises, which should be planted well before fall sets in so they have a change to get rooted in, are grown from rhizomes. Sue |

Thank you for the recommendations. ^_^ For the big box stores, I bought from them last year so I was expecting that this year they wouldn't have anything different, and I didn't want to get the same things again. |
- Posted by oregonwoodsmoke 5 OR (My Page) on Sun, Jul 25, 10 at 19:58
In the spring, Costco sells bags of bulbs. They have a huge selection, prices are at least reasonable, and the ones that I bought were good quality. The only really cheap bulbs I've ever seen are the mesh bags of 100 King Alfreds. Good price if you need lots of King Alfreds. Try running an ad on Craigslist. I got some really nice iris by running a "wanted" ad, and by offering to thin iris beds for free if I could have the rhizomes that I removed. |

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - Famed tightrope walker Nik Wallenda will walk on a wire 200 feet over U.S. 41 in Sarasota, Fla., without a safety harness.
The circus performer and six-time Guinness World Record holder is scheduled to perform the stunt Tuesday morning.
The Sarasota City Commission is allowing him to do the stunt without a tether. Wallenda wore a tether for the first time last summer when he walked across Niagara Falls because the television network that was paying for the performance insisted on it.
Wallenda is scheduled to start his Sarasota Skywalk at Bayfront Park at 10:30 a.m., weather permitting. The wire ends at the Marina Tower Condominium, and part of U.S. 41 will be shut during the walk.
