Gwen's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Gwen is a darling little Chihuahua/dachshund mix. Please don't be frightened by her eye. She is simply recovering from a recent 'cherry-eye' surgery. Her eye is already healing up nicely and she is showing no complications from the surgery what so ever. Gwendolyn is a charming girl with lots of pizzaz!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gwen, a Wilmington Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Wilmington, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Wilmington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wilmington already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Wilmington breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wilmington paves the way for another one to be saved.

I don't know why P & G needs a special boost. It sells things that are in a very mature sector. The only thing P & G needs efficiency to boost profits - that is to produce, market, and sell products with the best balance of price and quality. I challenge anyone can suddenly come up with some new ways to wash clothes or baby diapers to suddenly revolutionise the business. I question anyway to suddenly to double the sales of crisps, diapers and cleaners.
Bill Ackman says that P & G shares will double in price if new management goes well. That is complete BS, and is more BS when he holds call options for P & G.

Matty, top, one of eight new explosive sniffing dogs belonging to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department, mugs for the camera with a young admirer at his recent graduation ceremony at Grand Central Terminal.
Matty, whose partner is MTA Officer Eric Heimbauer, is named in memory of late U.S. Army Specialist Matthew Bayliss. All of Matty's classmates — Mikey, Stiehl, Glen, George, Buck, Geo and Jake — are named for deceased MTA or NYPD officers, or U.S. soldiers killed in action overseas.
All the dogs will live with their human partners, with whom they trained for 14 weeks.

ScriptSpot is a diverse online community of artists and developers who come together to find and share scripts that empower their creativity with 3ds Max or SketchUp. Our users come from all parts of the world and work in everything from visual effects to gaming, architecture, students or hobbyists.
Register for free and be part of the community!
This script renders an ambient occlusion pass with VRay from any scene - without changing anything. There is no need to prepare the scene in any way either.
VRay 1.5 or higher is required for the script to run! If you are using VRay 1.46, there is an older version available, without dirtmap features.
This is a free Renderman exporter for 3DSMax. It enables you to render your scenes using any Renderman complient renderer. For now - it doesn't do very much. It is after all a first alpha version - but it is usable to some extent. It exports you camera - lights and geometry (currenty - all geometry is exported using either polygons or subdivision meshes.) It does not export particles - though I would like to add them at some point. A lot of max attributes are not supported yet.
When network rendering - 3DSMax defaults to 'normal' priority unless you set it otherwise. This script tells max to run in low priority (so that the system doesn't completely lockup) but ONLY when network rendering. If Max is launched normally by a user - it wont be affected.
Probably obsolete soon - but here is a simple rollout that enables you to set the 'max transp - levels' to greater than 100 in V-Ray (usefull when you have a lot of overlapping transparent objects and the environment shows when it shouldn't).
NOTE: 12/10/04 Fixed error message generated from incorrect .mzp file...
Imap Control alows you to save a series of Irradiance maps per frame with V-Ray® and then allows you to reuse those maps per frame - It also is useful to save incremental maps when creating Incremental add maps - saving progress incase of a crash.
VRay preset manager is a frontend to the VRay renderer.
features:-) quickly create and share presets of your rendering settings.-) global (affect all settings) and partial (affect only selected settings) presets.-) link mode syncs draft settings to production settings - for fast previews.-) presets for VRay Advanced are included.
cubicVR is everything you need to create cubic QTVR files - as seen below - from 3ds max.
This one is two scripts - one to create and one to play. All the player will do is bring up the create preview dialog and after creating the preview - will ask whether you wish to view the preview in the RAM player. As for the player - well - I know other people have created the same script - but... well... I thought I'd make my own version (and I suddenly can't think why).
A macroscript which produces a space-saving floater that allows you to start/stop/reset the radiosity solution - and change the meshing size. Has a progress bar to show you how far the solution has got - but it doesn't always seem to update on heavy scenes.
Renders all cameras in the scene with current render settings - sending the jobs to the Backburner Manager. Will need editing if you use a non 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.

Amy Poehler Knows How Parks and Rec Will End
There's something dispiriting about being a Parks and Recreation fan: No matter how lovely and funny and wonderful the show is, there's the constant looming threat of cancellation. Amy Poehler feels our pain. "To some extent, with the exception of one or two seasons, we never really know if we're coming back," she tells Paper. "I think I know how the show ends," she says. "I know how this season ends — it could be an ending for the show, or it could be an ending for the season." Aaaghh, we can't do this again! We already lived through the this-could-be-it stuff last year!

He was given credit for a goal in his last game after the play was reviewed late. Perhaps his season is indeed starting to take off.

Dates: April 7 - July 8, 2012
Location: Gallery 12, Historic Landmark Building
In celebration of the debut of the Barnes Foundation in its new home on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, PAFA welcomes its new neighbor by exploring the connections between the Pennsylvania Academy and Dr. Albert Barnes. This exhibition will feature works from the permanent collection that relate to Barnes's tastes and philosophy, as well as works by his friends (such as William J. Glackens), and items from the PAFA Archives.
It was at PAFA in April 1923 that Barnes first revealed the richness of his modern European art collection to the American public. Among the factors that led Barnes to allow 75 paintings and sculptures from his collection to be shown at PAFA was the presence of progressive faculty members such as Arthur B. Carles. Barnes had written to Carles in 1921 after viewing an avant-garde PAFA exhibition showing "Later Tendencies in Art" congratulating "the liberal spirit of the officials of the Academy in opening their doors to what is the most real and vital movement to many, many people interested in art…your present show is the first real move to shake Philadelphia out of the lethargy which has been the reproach to us from artists and collectors of other cities…It's a mighty fine thing for Philadelphia to have genuine artists of ability have the opportunity to express themselves freely and without dictation from self-constituted authorities or conventional dogma and have those expressions viewed by the public for what they are worth. It is a positive step towards education and enlightenment in the proper meanings of those words."
Two years later, he would revise his opinion about Philadelphia, rather than PAFA, in the wake of criticism of his collection. This installation will include material related to the 1923 exhibition and present works that show links between PAFA and Barnes.
Curator: Robert Cozzolino, Curator of Modern Art
Sponsors: PAFA's special exhibitions in 2011-12 are supported by generous contributions from Max N. Berry, Esq, Donald R. Caldwell, Jonathan L. Cohen, and Lori Levine Ordover and Janusz Ordover.
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts' public programs are funded in part by a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency).

Manufacturing Called Urgent National Priority
A new report by former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge and former Assistant Secretary for Homeland Security Robert B. Stephan sees the United States as too dependent on foreign suppliers in crises.
The report said the United States is at risk of being dangerously unprepared for serious emergencies because of the offshoring of critical manufacturing sectors and a reliance on foreign suppliers for products that would be needed in the wake of catastrophic events. The report was released on July 25, 2012, by the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM). It says the U.S. must revitalize its manufacturing capacity to reduce such vulnerability. The report was co-authored by Tom Ridge, the first secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and Robert B. Stephan, a former Assistant Secretary for Homeland Security for Infrastructure Protection. "There is a direct nexus between a strong domestic manufacturing sector and America's ability to prevent, mitigate, recover from, and rebuild quickly in the wake of catastrophic events," said Ridge. "Revitalizing America's domestic manufacturing capacity must become a clear and urgent national priority at all levels of government and among industry leaders." The report illustrates the growing frequency of major catastrophic events, man-made and natural, as well as new threats like cyber attacks and pandemics. The report contains specific recommendations for restoring the nation's internal capacity to address emergencies, including: * revitalized manufacturing * investment in America's infrastructure using U.S.-made materials * strengthened public-private collaboration * enforcement of trade laws
Reliance on Foreign Suppliers
The report said the United States now relies on foreign suppliers for everything from steel, cement, batteries, and critical high-technology components to every day medical supplies like antibiotics and penicillin. The result: a risk that the country will not have access to needed materials and products, delayed delivery times, and the poor quality of some imported products. The report said the problems are becoming more noteworthy given the fragility of the nation's aging infrastructure. AAM said the report is the first comprehensive analysis of America's growing reliance on global suppliers - many of whom may not have the best interests of the United States at heart in a time of crisis, or who cannot meet demand quickly in times of emergency, given the complexity of the global supply chain. "Relying on a potentially hostile trading partner in a time of need puts our national security at risk," the report states. "There are also many important vulnerabilities associated with the structural fragility of our infrastructure nodes and systems, many of which are at or near the end of their projected operational life spans and in need of a thorough overhaul." Examples of infrastructure supply problems noted in the report: * China produced five times the amount of steel that U.S. companies did in 2008 * Chinese cement was used in construction of half of American home foundations prior to the 2008 recession * No U.S. plant currently produces the key ingredients for antibiotics, making the nation more vulnerable to pandemics and bioterrorism attacks "The nation's worn out infrastructure is the soft underbelly that provides an inviting target for attacks that can have a widespread, devastating impact," said Stephan. "Hardening our critical infrastructure is key to preventing and mitigating disastrous events such as terrorist attacks or natural disasters concerning power plants, pipelines, and transportation systems."
Recommendations for Reducing Vulnerabilities
The report recommends a two-track approach to reduce vulnerabilities and to build the capacity to respond and recover quickly and efficiently in the aftermath of a catastrophic disaster. Some recommendations include: * Develop a plan to make the restoration of a strong American manufacturing sector a key component of both national and economic security strategies. * Reinvest in America's infrastructure, using U.S.-made materials. * Incentivize the revitalization of American manufacturing, including the use of domestic-content preferences that maximize the power of federal procurement funds. * Enforce trade laws to ensure a level playing field for U.S. manufacturers and their workers facing unfair competition. * Invest in the American workforce to provide the trained workers needed to rebuild our infrastructure and work in a larger, more modern manufacturing sector. "Reliable domestic supply chains could help mitigate the risk associated with our current over-reliance on long-lead-time offshore supplies and suppliers regarding those products and materials critical to supporting response and recovery requirements," the report stated. Ridge and Stephan say that revitalizing American manufacturing must be a "clear and urgent national priority since we are losing manufacturing capacity with each passing day." They add that the "21st Century risk environment poses perhaps the most significant set of challenges we have yet had to face." "This report should serve as a wake-up call for action," said Scott Paul, the Executive Director of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), which commissioned the report. "We must take concrete steps now to insource our preparedness capabilities." "Unfortunately, not enough has changed since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and even since Hurricane Katrina seven years ago," Paul added. "Tragically, we've seen a further decline in America's manufacturing capacity, even while new risks are emerging. This report underscores just how critical it is to the safety of the American people to rebuild our industrial base now." Paul concluded, "We may not be able to predict when catastrophic events will occur, but we can do much to ensure that America is equipped to prepare for, respond to, and minimize the impact when disaster strikes."

Where to Eat
GINJA (Fusion) Cape Town's restaurant culture has exploded in recent years. Ginja is an atmospheric converted warehouse in the trendy Bo-Kaap district. It does the East-West fusion thing very well with tuna (Thai-style) and salmon (with gribiche—mustard and cucumber—sauce). There are also decidedly African offerings such as curried crocodile and springbok (a small antelope native to southern Africa). If it's booked up, a more casual restaurant from the same owners, called Shoga, is just upstairs.
121 Castle Street, Cape Town; 011-27/214-262-368. $$$
KNYSNA OYSTER COMPANY (Seafood) Overlooking the Knysna lagoon, the Oyster Company offers both traditional and novel ways of serving wild and locally cultivated oysters. The adventurous might try zwembezi: oysters deep-fried and served with spinach, tomato, corn and biltong (dried meat)—more unconventional you cannot get.
Long Street, Thesens Island, Knysna; 011-27/443-826-941. $$
LA PETITE FERME (French provincial) Drive less than fifteen minutes from the clubhouse at Pearl Valley and you'll be in Franschhoek, the "French corner" of the Cape and the self-proclaimed gourmet center of South Africa. There are some wonderful restaurants here, but La Petite Ferme, which opens only for lunch, is the star. Smoked trout is the house specialty.
Franschhoek Pass Road, Franschhoek; 011-27/218-763-016. $$
SEAFOOD AT THE MARINE (Seafood) The five-star Marine Hotel is perched on cliffs above the bay in Hermanus, the whale-watching capital of South Africa and a fifteen-minute drive from Arabella Golf Club. The open-kitchen design here was inspired by the seafood bar at Harrods in London. The "rich man's fish and chips" and the Walker Bay sole are both rather special.
Marine Drive, Hermanus, Western Cape; 011-27/283-131-000. $$
On Safari in Kruger National Park
It is 5:30 a.m. at Leopard Hills, a private game reserve in Kruger National Park. The sun isn't up yet. It's cold. I pull on a fleece climbing into the Land Rover for the morning drive. The mood is one of anticipation: What will we see today?Minutes after leaving the lodge, along the dirt track, there's a roadblock. Not traffic, not roadwork—elephants, scores of them, from huge, tail-flicking bulls to tiny calves scooting to keep up. Not that we need reminding, but this is their place; on safari, you're always a guest.
Many days begin like this at Leopard Hills. There's five-star luxury here: beautiful glass-fronted, air-conditioned suites appointed in style ready-made for a Ralph Lauren photo shoot, plus your own private plunge pool. The main mansion, with its gourmet dining room and attentive staff, is a paragon of colonial splendor. But at the end of each day, what you see in the wild is what captures your dreams.
As the bush warms up, out come giraffes, water buffalo, hundreds of monkeys and baboons, more birds than one can name or remember. Our lunch companions are rhino and zebra. During the afternoon game-drive, the ranger radios colleagues from other lodges. His language is a hodgepodge of verbal winks and nods, designed to keep us in the dark as to what's next. But gradually I pick up the code, and learn that six lions wandering the area are close by. Two lionesses also know the males are in town. An hour later, after quietly watching a skilled temptress at play, one of the males mates with her, almost in front of us. On the way back to the lodge for a tasty braai (barbecue), there's a surprise. A local leopard named Makwela is there, sitting regally in a tree, relaxed as a Hollywood star on camera. Settling in for the night, one thought overwhelms me: They will all be here tomorrow. The rhythm of a safari is mesmerizing. Each day is the same; each totally different. — J.C.

Letter From the President
Dear Valued Customer:
Over the past couple of years, almost all individuals and businesses have felt the impact of the current economic environment, and many have not yet felt any relief from the downturn. As a provider of loans and banking services to local businesses, real estate investors, and consumers, the bank has experienced some of the same impacts that the recession has had on its customers. The severity of this economic downturn has proven that even those businesses, real estate investors, and consumers which accepted moderate amounts of risk prior to the downturn, are now experiencing greater difficulty than they have in past recessions.
Like many community banks, First American State Bank has been working closely with both State and Federal regulators since the economic downturn began more than two years ago to ensure that the bank continues to meet all of its regulatory obligations, while focusing our efforts on supporting our loyal customer base of business owners, real estate investors, and consumers as they weather the financial storm.
On August 20, 2010, First American State Bank, and its parent company First American Bancorp, entered into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and the State of Colorado Division of Banking. This agreement does not limit our ability to conduct business with our depositing customers in any way. There is no change to the FDIC deposit insurance coverage available to our depositors, and there will be no changes to the products and services that we offer. The agreement merely describes the commitments that the bank has made to augment our capital base, strengthen our balance sheet, and periodically provide regulatory agencies with additional information in order for them to assess our progress.
It is business as usual at First American State Bank and we remain committed to providing you with exemplary service and first-rate products and services for many years to come. We value all of our customers and appreciate your business very much.
Nick Lepetsos

When I was studying to take my SANS GCIA exams, I found I needed a nice reference diagram showing the layout of the headers of TCP and UDP packets. On the internet you'll find many printable diagrams for this but they all seem to be the same format as the diagram in Steven's famouse TCP/IP book. I found this was hard to use because the diagram doesn't match the format of the output generated by tcpdump and I was mostly using the diagram to compare tcpdump output. So I made my own header diagrams that match tcpdump's output and made it so it was one page with a large font. A good quick reference.
You can get these from my download area. The files are packets.sxw (OpenOffice format) and packets.pdf (Adobe Acrobat format). Derek Armstrong has provided a version of the packet header diagrams that includes ICMP and is in color! (RTF Format).

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

Top general warns against deep US defense cuts
27 Jul 2011 04:02
WASHINGTON, July 26 (Reuters) - The nominee to become the top U.S.
military officer warned on Tuesday it would be "extraordinarily difficult
and very high risk" to cut $800 billion from defense spending as part of
efforts to reduce the nation's $14.3 trillion debt.
Army General Martin Dempsey appeared to push back hard in his Senate
nomination hearing against proposals gaining momentum in Congress to at
least double President Barack Obama's slated defense cuts of $400 billion
over the next dozen years.
"National security didn't cause the debt crisis nor will it solve it,"
Dempsey, Obama's choice to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
told the Senate Armed Services Committee in a written comments released in
conjunction with the hearing.
The hearing on Dempsey's nomination coincided with a deadlock in
Washington on finding a way to reduce the $1.4 trillion annual U.S. budget
deficit and $14.3 trillion debt ahead of an Aug. 2 deadline for raising
the debt ceiling.
Obama earlier this year asked the Pentagon to find $400 billion in cuts to
national security spending over the next 12 years. The Pentagon is
reviewing how best to achieve that goal and is expected to present options
to the president.
But lawmakers grappling with the debt issue have proposed even deeper cuts
of $800 billion or even $1 trillion over the coming decade.
Asked about the proposals during his hearing, Dempsey said, "Based on the
difficulty of achieving the $400 billion cut, I believe $800 billion would
be extraordinarily difficult and very high risk."
Top generals at a hearing in the House of Representatives echoed Dempsey's
concerns about deep budget cuts. General Joseph Dunford, assistant
commandant of the Marine Corps, said his service would have "challenges"
in implementing its share of a $400 billion cut.
"I think if they were to exceed $400 billion we would start to have to
make some fundamental changes in the capability of the Marine Corps,"
Dunford said. That would mean a smaller force and a reassessment of its
strategic mission.
General Philip Breedlove, vice chief of staff of the Air Force, said cuts
of $400 billion would cause "quite some concern" about funds to replace
its aging fleet. Strategic bombers are an average 34 years old, refueling
tankers 47 years old and airlift planes 19.
"We have decided we will not go hollow" by keeping a large infrastructure
the Air Force cannot afford to staff or maintain, Breedlove said,
describing walking down a flight line in the 1970s and seeing planes
without engines.
"We had maintained a certain amount of infrastructure in iron, but it was
unflyable," he said. "We can't afford to go there with the requirements of
... today. So a $400 billion cut would force us to constrict our force in
order to maintain a ready and fit force to fight."
"Beyond $400 billion," he added, "we would have to go into a fundamental
restructure of what our nation expects from our Air Force."
At his Senate confirmation hearing, Dempsey distanced himself from
comments about the debt by current chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Admiral
Mike Mullen, who has called it "the single-biggest threat to our national
"I wouldn't describe our economic condition as the single-biggest threat
to national security," he said in his written remarks. "There are a lot of
clear and present threats to our security in the current operational
Dempsey acknowledged the U.S. debt "is a grave concern" but said the
country could not afford to "neglect the other instruments of national
power" -- both military and diplomatic -- as it works to solve its fiscal
Republican Senator John McCain, Obama's rival in the 2008 presidential
election and a Vietnam war hero, criticized the rising pressure to cut
military spending without first understanding the impact on strategy.
"Defense spending is not what is sinking this country into fiscal crisis,
and if the Congress and the president act on that flawed assumption, they
will create a situation that is truly unaffordable: the hollowing out of
U.S. military power and the loss of faith of our military members," McCain
said. (Editing by Philip Barbara and Eric Beech)

Privacy Policy
Large Animals and Evolution
Name: Paul Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Why does it seem that in the past the creatures of the earth grew to much larger sizes than in the present (with few exceptions)? Is the Earth's size a factor?
Evolution has historically suggested that the larger the animal, the more likely it will survive. The dinosaurs may have been a test of this hypothesis. Competition and predators development probably had a role in this large phenomenon.
Steve Sample
Update: July 2008
There are several factors at play, but none have anything to do with the Earth's size, which is basically constant.
First, some insects were larger, it is suspected, because there was considerably more oxygen in the atmosphere at that early time (late Paleozoic). A paper in 2006 by Alexander Kaiser of Midwestern University suggests that the subsequent decrease in oxygen (from 35 to 21%) puts a strict limit on an insect's size today.
Second, the larger dinosaurs were probably cold-blooded. A warm-blooded animal of that size would have a difficult time not overheating. This is discussed in dinosaur books. Note that the most enormous mammal (whale) today lives in the cold ocean, and the largest land mammal (African elephant) has enormous ears for cooling and rarely moves quickly. So this is why mammals, at least, never get very large. And large dinosaurs are gone because of an extinction event.
Third, you might wonder why the remaining reptiles at the time didn't re-evolve back into large ones again after the extinction. Well, during the Mesozoic (dinosaur) era, CO2 and temperature were higher, and vegetation flourished, so there was plenty of food. Furthermore, there was no competition from mammals and birds as we know them today. But today, mammals and birds have gotten such a foothold in their habitats, that something like the Komodo dragon today would have a hard time feeding itself if it was dramatically larger.
These issues are discussed in any high-quality dinosaur book.

The best way to store bread is in a bread box or to keep in in the paper bag (with the top closed) and store in the pantry.
We do not recommend plastic, because it accelerates the staling process by giving mold and bacteria a more favorable environment in which to grow. Additionally, the flavor and crust deteriorates quickly in plastic. Refrigeration, also, accelerates the staling process.
If you do not plan to use the bread within two days, freezing the bread is another solution. Our bread freezes very well. Wrap the loaf or even half of it in plastic wrap and freeze up to two mouths. When needed, just take out the loaf to thaw for a few hours. To refresh the loaf, place it in the oven at 400 degrees for 5-10 minutes.

In the future, will you be able to "print" a hamburger from a link you found on McDonalds.com?
If lazy scientists have their way, the answer will be "yes."
That's what a group at Cornell University are working on. You load up some "edible food 'inks'" and print out tasty treats such as "chocolates, cookies, and even domes of turkey meat" — at least that's what they've accomplished so far.
I greatly look forward to a future where my "milk" cartridge runs out so I have to print my coffee black, or where my computer loses communication with my printer so I starve.
And I find it hard to believe this would be cheaper than just ordering in delivery. Have you seen ink prices recently? If a cartridge of plain black ink runs as much as $20, I'd probably be paying more than the price of a meal just to get a new cartridge of gravy!
Then you'd have to worry about viruses. I visit the wrong porn site and suddenly my meatloaf tastes funny!
And with that joke, I retire. Meatloaf.

Greg Mankiw always offers a level headed analysis on economic issues. It's probably a prerequisite for every non-liberal who wants to work at Harvard. It seems the supporters of ObamaCare have put aside all the negative aspects of the bill and have a adopted the lies from the White House and Congress.
The other group is kind of like The Economist. The UK-based news magazine has really lost touch with logic lately. Their argument in favor of ObamaCare is as weak as it is logical. The basic argument is that any bill is better than no bill at all. This is a news magazine that calls itself The Economist?
What's odd is that when President Bush tried to tackle reforming Social Security no one adopted the "let's pass something" approach. The Republicans abandoned reform because they feared political backlash. The Democrats are philosophically opposed to fixing any entitlement. It's in the DNA of the Democratic party to expand and break as many entitlement programs as possible.
Notice that no Republican advocates a serious reform of Medicare. The Democrats are the welfare party, and the Republicans are simply the caretakers of the welfare state. While the left longingly gazes at their Obama posters the President has never said how he's going to pay for all these goodies. That's Greg Mankiw's point.
The Obama administration's political philosophy is more egalitarian and more communitarian than mine. Their spending programs require much higher taxes than we have now and, indeed, much higher taxes than they have had the temerity to propose. Here is the question I have been wondering about: How long can the President wait before he comes clean with the American people and explains how high taxes needs to rise to pay for his vision of government?
I'll go one step further because the Republicans aren't prepared for the serious challenges ahead. The taxes needed to pay for all these programs will have to be enormous. The GOP doesn't have the guts to tackle the problem. Taxing the rich isn't going to pay for it all. If people are concerned about the economy right now, just wait until the VAT tax starts.
I'm not sure Obama even cares. Perhaps he just wants to be the guy who gave the U.S. health care. Obama will let some other administration clean up the wreckage. Hey, Lyndon Johnson is still considered a great president and he only got us mired in Vietnam, started the welfare state, and gave us Medicare.
It seems liberals are determined to turn the U.S. into one big giant pyramid scheme. This might last five, fifteen, or twenty-five years, but eventually the whole house of card falls. Progressives love to tell sob stories about the disadvantaged. What about the working man whose paycheck is being siphoned away? Who is helping the forgotten man and how are we going to afford this when he's out of job?

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847) Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream, arranged as a duet for two pianists (opus 21) July 10, [1829?] Folger MS V.a.372
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy composed his famous overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream when he was just seventeen years old and living in Berlin with his parents. He first wrote the overture as a piano duet, which he played with his sister Fanny in November 1826. The overture publically premiered the following year, after being arranged for orchestral performance. This copy of the piano version in his own hand is thought to have been made during his first trip to England in 1829. Mendelssohn was one of the most popular composers in England in the nineteenth century, visiting the country ten times in his short lifetime.

I had inspections two months back and my inspector made me pull out my speaker wire. Can he do this? Why?
He said that it didn't have any approvals or FT stamps or markings. What is a FT stamp??? I live here in North Vancouver and have insured I pulled all proper permits. Why do I need this. I bought the wire at my "Box" - it must meet code right? How could wire with no FT rating even be sold if it's needed. I'm so confused - please help.. The inspector went on to say that a fire starting in the living room could spread through out the whole house depending on the type of wire, it's burn rate and the path the wire takes through the home. Scary. If that's the reason then for sure I would think this wire doesn't burn. Does it? I'll test them all - this week. |

"Why do I need this. I bought the wire at my "Box" - it must meet code right?" HAHAHAHA OK, seriously. "Meet code"? What code? I am not familiar with Canadian code on this so I cannot comment on the cable designations. |
There are also specific cables that are "in-wall" rated. It has something to do with how the jacket of the cable reacts if the wire heats up due to excess current. btw.....I am no professional, just read a lot of crap on the internet...... |
the cable must be marked FT-4 on it to be "in-wall",by code. |
- Posted by yosemitebill (My Page) on Mon, May 31, 10 at 17:56
Not sure on the exact equivalent of CSA (Canadian Standards Association) FT-4 but I believe it is CL2 or CL3 - riser rated. Basically, what it comes down to is that if a fire was to start at or near the in-wall cable, would the cable contribute to the fire spreading? With the correct insulation, as in in-wall rated, it would not substantially contribute. Between floors, in vertical walls, it should be riser rated. If the cable passes through air handling areas (very unlikely in residential) it must be plenum rated as well which means the fumes emitted are within specific toxic limits. The silver/gold zip-cord type of speaker wire is hardly ever in-wall rated... but the good thing is that the proper in-wall speaker cable (CL2/CL3) is usually cheaper. Coax, Video, Audio, Ethernet cables all must be in-wall rated as well. |

WellSpan York Hospital's residency in obstetrics and gynecology is a four-year categorical program approved for three residents at each level. University affiliated, it is designed to train physicians for the general practice of obstetrics and gynecology, as well as to provide a solid foundation for further subspecialty training in fellowships. WellSpan York Hospital is a tertiary care and regional referral center, serving a population base of over 620,000 as part of the WellSpan Health System.
The OB/GYN Residency program is organized by the Program Director, Dr. L. Martha Thomas and Associate Residency Program Director Dr. Patricia Reddy and Residency Quality Improvement Director, Dr. Eileen Garavente.
The teaching staff consists of five Perinatologists, three Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellows, two Reproductive Endocrinologists, two Gynecologic Oncologist, three Gyn Oncology Fellows, eight robotic surgeons, two laborists, clinic preceptors and two Obstetrician/Gynecologists with special training in Urogynecology, six Neonatologists, 30 highly trained and dedicated general teaching faculty Obstetrician/Gynecologists, six midwives, and two CRNP's.
The first two years of residency concentrate on obstetrics and gynecology with rotations in obstetrics (10 months), gynecologic surgery (7 months) and night float (4 months). In addition R-1 residents spend one month of Critical Care in an ICU setting, R-2 residents spend one month each on the introduction to the subspecialty areas of Perinatology, Maternal Fetal Medicine and Urogynecology.
In the program's third year, emphasis is placed on the five subspecialties with a three-month Maternal Fetal Medicine rotation including full genetic services, intensive fetal assessment, high-risk obstetrical ultrasound and Doppler technique as well as a two-week rotation in the NICU; a four-month rotation in Gynecologic Oncology; a two-month rotation in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI); three-month rotation in Urogynecology. .
The REI portion provides a wide range of microsurgery, diagnostic and operative endoscopic and laser techniques for the management of infertility.
WellSpan York Hospital currently has three da Vinci robots in the operating rooms which are incorporated into REI, Urogynecology and Gynecologic Oncology. The urogynecology portion provides diagnostic evaluation, complex, urodynamics and management of urinary incontinence and pelvic floor disorders in a dedicated weekly clinic as well as an on-going surgical experience in this field. Gynecologic Oncology includes management of complex oncology patients with both inpatient and outpatient responsibilities.
The final year of the program is divided between Gynecology, Obstetrics and Ambulatory Medicine. The Chief Residents take on a supervisory and leadership role and assume full responsibility for the Obstetrics Service, Gynecology Service and Ambulatory Women's Health Clinic. Chief Residents are also involved in Community Health Education programs for women of all ages.
A simulated practice environment with continuity clinics during all four years, gives each resident an opportunity for collaborative care, decision making and independent action.
Senior residents also act as consultants for patients of other services. Our residency program has the advantage of enabling residents to interact with primary care physicians and to acquire skills in the art of consultation.
Great emphasis is placed on patient safety, transitions of care and handoffs, clinical guidelines, cost containment, quality of care, and process and performance improvement, in order to prepare our residents for success within tomorrow's health care environment.
Supervision is constant throughout training. The level of responsibility is progressive and based on NAS Milestones with the evaluation of the development of skills and experience. Personal initiative, motivation and eagerness to learn are encouraged.
Over 18,670 outpatient visits in the residents' clinics provide a vast range of clinical cases and resident experience. Residents are responsible for the ambulatory and follow up care of their service patients, charged with the scheduling of diagnostic tests, procedures, return visits, and hospital admission as necessary.
Throughout the four years, residents attend continuity clinics, with the chief residents and attending preceptors supervising and directing these activities in the new YHOBG Office Center.
Attending obstetricians/gynecologists and subspecialists are present or readily available as teachers and consultants.
The ambulatory teaching setting includes combined Ob/Gyn continuity clinics, as well as a high-risk obstetrical clinic. A full range of testing procedures is available, including the most current techniques in fetal assessment, obstetrical ultrasound, Doppler and genetics.
The outpatient subspecialty clinics include, reproductive endocrinology, colposcopy with LEEP, urogynecology with urodynamic testing capability, minor office surgery and gynecological oncology, including medical chemotherapy and pediatric and adolescent gynecology. Supervised by subspecialists and faculty with areas of particular expertise, these clinics provide a multidisciplinary approach for patient care on the residents' service.
In order to ensure maximum exposure to a broad range of clinical problems and a wide variety of techniques and therapeutic approaches, our inpatient teaching service provides care to both resident service and attending faculty patients.
Active resident participation is structured throughout the four years on the private, as well as, the resident teaching service in both obstetrics and gynecology. High risk Antepartum patients are housed in a monitored area of the maternal floor.
WellSpan York Hospital's inpatient obstetrical services is housed in a LDR facility which includes two Cesarean section rooms, one intensive care room and the latest computer technology.
Our annual deliveries average 3100, with about 600 deliveries on the residents' service. Ob/Gyn residents manage their own OB residents' service and assist in the Labor & Delivery management of attending OB patients with consulting readily available from the perinatologist.
Over 95% of the patients are followed by electronic fetal heart monitoring during the labor. The residents assist in the labor and delivery of attending faculty's patients, following these patients during the postpartum period. Fetal ultrasound is available on-premise. Twenty-four hour in house anesthesia services, attending and neonatal coverage further enhance this environment for effective teaching and comprehensive learning. WellSpan York Hospital has a Level IIIB NICU, caring for the most complex neonatal problems including extreme prematurity.
Gynecological surgical procedures are approximately 5,000 per year, with 99.9% available for resident participation. In conjunction with the care of resident service patients, the residents execute the pre-operative evaluation, maintain operative responsibilities and manage the post-operative period for private patients under the supervision of obstetricians/gynecologists and subspecialists.
Residents are afforded the unique opportunity to acquire considerable surgical expertise in vaginal, diagnostic and operative laparoscopic, infertility, robotic and gynecological oncologic surgery in the traditional hospital operative suite and at a busy Outpatient Surgical Center. PGY-4 residents expand their non-robotic MIS skills with a weekly half-day in the OR at affiliate WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital.
Academic teaching is provided through weekly departmental meetings OB/GYN and subspecialty conferences (gynecology oncology, reproductive endocrinology, and maternal-fetal medicine).
A Journal Club and Department Case Conference/QA Conference are held monthly. Guest lecturers of national and international reputation are regularly invited.
The special educational sessions provide residents with tools and knowledge in total quality management, clinical guidelines and pathways, and business of medicine litigation principles to prepare for current practice environments. Residents also attend one major US conference each year of their choice and are encouraged to attend local or regional meetings.
Opportunities exist to learn about the latest advancements in basic and clinical sciences, research and patient care. Preparation for important testing is emphasized, including the CREOG in training examination and Board examinations.
Teaching is also imparted at the medical school level. WellSpan York Hospital is a core hospital for Penn State Hershey, Jefferson Medical College, and Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, and for the teaching of obstetrics and gynecology. WellSpan York Hospital serves as a regional medical campus for Drexel University College of Medicine. Basic clerkships in obstetrics and gynecology, and elective rotations are offered throughout the year.
The presence of medical students and other trainees allows residents to develop their own teaching skills as well. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology also conducts an active research program, with residents encouraged to become involved in ongoing research and required to participate in at least one research project during their four years of training.
The OB/GYN Residency program of WellSpan York Hospital maintains a critical balance between academic and clinical experiences, supplemented by primary care and subspecialty rotations.
This balance enables residents to mature fully into well-qualified obstetricians/gynecologists, well-equipped to handle any challenges presented by the health care environment of tomorrow.
A dedicated 1/2 day of protected educational sessions is held each Wednesday morning covering a full core OB/GYN curriculum, primary care and subspecialty curriculum.
As a departure from didactic lectures, material is presented and discussed in a small group setting enhancing group discussion and assimilation of information. Residents are given ample opportunity to engage in research and also to present topics at grand rounds. A day long off site retreat is held each year.
In addition, a weekly resident business meeting and regular team building sessions enhances communication and teamwork within the residency program.
A new state-of-the-art Simulation Center, opened in May 2008, provides new opportunities for education and evaluation of technical skills (e.g., laparoscopic trainers), teamwork, and interpersonal and communication skills (e.g., critical situation drills for shoulder dystocia, septic shock, etc.). OSCE is scheduled annually for summative evaluation in the simmulation center, and plays an important role in our curriculum.
The program was last reviewed by the Residency Review Commission in Obstetrics and Gynecology in spring 2012. WellSpan York Hospital Ob/Gyn Residency received excellent evaluations with ongoing full accreditation.
Despite its large size, WellSpan York Hospital provides a friendly backdrop for your residency. Here, a feeling of community exists. Ancillary assistance abounds, which for the resident translates into no bloods to draw, IVs to start, EKGs to run or patients to transport. Laboratory results are promptly available through electronic records.
Adding to the program advantages, WellSpan York Hospital's diversity affords each resident experience with a wide range of clinical problems and educational opportunities.
While basic concepts can be taught, clinical decision making must be acquired through practice. In our OB/GYN program, early responsibility greatly aids the learning process by enabling residents to apply what has been learned. This approach to education not only makes for a strong four-year program, but makes the experience gained valuable throughout one's lifetime.

ok, i know it's a bit confusing and i'm starting to think i'm confusing myself more and more but i tried about thousands of possibilities now and i guess i'm losing track... :-P
so what i want is:
i alredy tried many variatons of-date($Object->DateInserted, ('Y m d') == date($Now, ('Y m d')) and similar stuff in various files but nothing ever worked... is there a much easier solution which i just can't see or what am i doing wrong?
thanks for help in advance!
you could also take a look at the Unreadicon plugin
and modify it to your needs.
It will show you how to test for time difference and then you can reformat the time in a plugin or in the helper_functions.php file.
that gives me 4 results:
in the class.format-file it's quite easy to define, so it also should be in other files or what's my mistake in thoughts?
I dont understnd your question.
You want to change Posted:9.24 am to Posted:4 minutes ago ?
422 Real Estate Australia , now open Check it out
no, not at all.
i want to change "posted april 24" to "posted april 24 - 13:22h" but only in discussions and only if the comment is not from the same day... so i changed defaultdateformat to '%d %B - %R'... but then there's the problem that in the thread-overview the format is changed too of course (and that doesn't look good). so i have to add something that changes that again, but only for the thread-overview.
the other version is that i only change the time format in the theme/view/discussion folder, but then i have to add something ("if-else" like mentioned in first posting) which because of an unknown reason doesn't work... so why does this not work:
$Now = time(); $posttime = Gdn_Format::Date($Object->DateInserted);
if (date($posttime, 'Y m d') == date ($Now, 'Y m d'))
ok, thanks a lot for the idea, i took a short look at the code of the plugin now and it seems to contain some new ideas, will have a closer look at it soon... :-) (now i have to get some sleep cause it's 3am here) and i forgot to mention that, but i'm working in the helper-functions.php file most of the time...
Shouldnt be to difficult all that info is stored. Best of luck
422 Real Estate Australia , now open Check it out
if it was that easy for me i wouldn't still be here... i'm cunfused... i think i got pretty close but i have one more question:
when $indate = date($Sender->EventArguments['Comment']->DateInserted); echoes: "2012-06-10 00:06:26"
why $indate = date('Y m d', $Sender->EventArguments['Comment']->DateInserted); echoes "1970 01 01"
Epoch. You more than likely need to define another var, then parse it like $MyCustomDateTime
422 Real Estate Australia , now open Check it out
finally i found a solution, i just used a little trick (i just cut the date-string)... so if anyone is interested, here's the code for the helper-functions.php file in the "discussion" folder:
<.span class="DateCreated">
<?php > $indate = $Sender->EventArguments['Comment']->DateInserted; > $subindate = substr($indate, 0, 10); > $subyear = substr($indate, 0, 4); > $toyear = date('Y'); > $todate = date('Y-m-d'); > > if ($todate == $subindate) { > echo Anchor(Gdn_Format::Date($Object->DateInserted), $Permalink, 'Permalink', array('name' => 'Item_'.($CurrentOffset+1), 'rel' => 'nofollow')); > } else { > if ($subyear == $toyear) { > echo Anchor(Gdn_Format::Date($Object->DateInserted, ('%d %B / %R')), $Permalink, 'Permalink', array('name' => 'Item_'.($CurrentOffset+1), 'rel' => 'nofollow')); > } else { > echo Anchor(Gdn_Format::Date($Object->DateInserted, ('%B %Y')), $Permalink, 'Permalink', array('name' => 'Item_'.($CurrentOffset+1), 'rel' => 'nofollow')); > } > > } > ?> </span>
