PATNA: The road construction department (RCD) would soon initiate the process for the construction of 552.293km of two-lane border road parallel to the Indo-Nepal border to connect Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) outposts spread between West Champaran district on the west to Kishanganj district in the east. The state cabinet gave its sanction to it on Friday.
The border road would be constructed at a cost of Rs 3,547 crore. While the state government would bear 53.3% of its cost worth Rs 1,890.45 crore, the Centre would bear the remaining 46.7% of the expenditure amounting to Rs 1,656.55 crore, cabinet secretariat department principal secretary Ravi Kant said after the cabinet meeting.
He said the state cabinet gave its approval to the utilization of Rs 2,552.86 crore in the first phase of the work. The remaining amount would be released in course of time. The budgetary provisions were made for the expenditure on the project, being considered "ambitious" both by the Centre and the state government, last year itself.
According to RCD secretary Pratyaya Amrit, the border road would start from Gobarahiya village near Madanpur on the national highway (NH)-28 at the Uttar Pradesh-Bihar border in West Champaran district and end at Galgaliya in the east in Kishnaganj district after passing through East Champaran, Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Supaul and Araria districts.
The border road would be constructed on 93.5km of embankments of water resources department and 205km of rural works department roads. Besides, 128km of NH sections would also be used as alignment with the border road. The road would have 40 major bridges and 81 medium and small bridges, Amrit said.
He said Rs 868 crore would be spent for acquiring 3,370 acre of land, utility shifting and environment clearance. The state government is taking loans worth Rs 995 crore from National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard) to be spent on the construction of bridges and road alignments.
Amrit said land acquisition and related work, coupled with floating of tenders for work allotment, would be completed during rainy season as the central government had already given its sanction to the construction of 200km of the border road.
The process would be completed for actual work allotment during the next four-month period, and the work itself would start in November this year, Amrit said, adding the construction of the border road has to be completed over the next three years, ending in the 2015-16 financial year.

We have been working like crazy to delete the over 400+ posts and PMs that have gone out from sweet little Helen just looking for happy love.

It will NOT take you to us.
Our email notification system is overloaded by all these spam attacks so even though we have already deleted the spam post from the thread, the email with the spam message is clogged in the system and they are still going out.
I want to take this moment to tell you to upgrade and make sure you all have current virus protection on your computers and run a full system scan.

Patch 3.3 PTR: Ghostcrawler explains Paladin changes {WoW}
Oct 28th 2009 10:29AM @snirgolan:
You forget that paladins cannot be all three spec at once. Even though our class is hybrid, most of us probably plays only one or two spec seriously at most (properly geared). For me, it's Holy Paladin in PvE. As healers, the only thing the spec is good at is single target heals. I cannot or don't want to be tank/dps. There's no reason why PvE Holy Pallies should suffer because of constant complaints of arena/BG PvPers of supposed OPness of other specs.

Pot o' gold: Sad, but true--it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, holiday shoppers. Handmade pottery makes a thoughtful gift that's often as functional as it is fun or beautiful, and you'll have plenty to choose from this weekend at the Colorado Potters Guild Fall Show and Sale, which gets under way at the Hellenic Community Center, 4610 E. Alameda Ave., tonight from 6 to 9. The show/sale continues from 9 to 9 Friday and 9 to 5 Saturday; call the Colorado Potters Guild at 733-3003 for additional information.
November 7
Dark shadows: Put a pencil in Bill Amundson's hand, slip him a sheet of drawing paper and you'll get back portentous personal visions. The local draftsman's latest series of graphic social comments, a suburban nightmare called Billboards and Playlands, opens tonight at the Zip 37 Gallery, 3644 Navajo St., with a reception from 7 to 11; a slightly less disturbing selection of affordable colored-pencil drawings rounds out the show. Amundson's work remains on display through November 23; call 477-4525 for gallery information.
At home on the range: When singer/songwriter and fourth-generation Coloradan Jon Chandler sings country-Western, the emphasis is on Western: Chandler's got a voice shaped precisely like a moonlit, coyote-howlin' night around the campfire on some godforsaken, tumbleweed-strewn prairie in the middle of nowhere. On top of that, he loves being there: Preserving the range experience in song is something of a mission for this consummate singing cowboy. Chandler brings a crack band, local country diva Celeste Krenz and special guest John Schikora along to Cameron Church, 1600 S. Pearl St., when he performs tonight at 8. Tickets are $10 to $12; call 1-800-444-SEAT to reserve yours. For more information call the Swallow Hill Music Association, 777-1003.
Great sax: No use crying in your beer for missing out on John McLaughlin's sold-out show tonight at the Boulder Theater: The Joe Lovano Quartet, performing at 8 at CU-Boulder's Macky Auditorium, is certain to provide audience members there with a stellar musical experience. Cleveland-born saxophonist Lovano moves smoothly from one end of the modern jazz canon to the other, absorbing its varied vocabularies. Remarkably, what comes out of that brew is completely original and stacked with rich tone. He's as likely to join up with Manhattan's cutting-edge players as he is to record a dreamy tribute to Sinatra; he brings a hand-picked combo with him to Boulder tonight. Admission ranges from $10 to $30; for reservations call 492-8008.
Transfigured night: Concert pianist Misha Dichter, Shanghai-born and Juilliard-trained, earned his international reputation simply by being a man of the world. Of course, his talent didn't hurt. Dichter cuts loose with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra on Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 tonight at 7:30 at Boettcher Concert Hall, 14th and Curtis in the Plex, but not before the CSO's interpretation of Arnold Schoenberg's impassioned Verklarte Nacht--along with Weber's overture to Oberon--takes shape during the concert's first half. The program repeats tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.; for tickets, ranging from $5 to $40, call 830-TIXS.
November 8
They shoot horses, don't they? This is the kind of rerun you'll always tune into, no matter how late it's on. Doll yourself up and put on your game face for the Swingathon, a marathon swing dance event taking place into the wee hours at the appropriately atmospheric Casino Cabaret, 2633 Welton St. You'll have two dance areas to choose from--one laid-back and the other joint-dislocation-prone; the Dalhart Imperials and Savoy Jump Swing Band, alternating on stage throughout the night from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m., will propel the action with swingin' sounds. Those not yet worn out can wind down with DJ Kurt Ohlen, who'll spin platters until 4 a.m. (whew!)--after that, you'll have to hobble on home. Tickets are $10 at the door; call 733-4140 for information.
November 9
Up and down: Going up? Warren Miller, America's favorite ski-adventure filmmaker, will take you higher--again--with Snowriders 2, his 48th ski feature in as many years. This year's model, an extreme extravaganza that travels around the globe from Alaskan slopes to New Zealand mountaintops, spotlights no end of boarders, shredders, windsurfers and even heli-skiers, backed by an up-to-date soundtrack that perfectly matches the action. Miller's icy thriller screens tonight at 5 and 8 at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd.; further screenings take place during the coming weeks at the Paramount Theatre (November 13-15), CU-Boulder's Macky Auditorium (November 20) and the Boulder Theater (November 21-22). Call 830-TIXS for showtimes and reservations.

Help - Xbox 360 and Maxell 12gb portable Hard Drive
Hi Everyone,
recently took advantage of the following deal posted on here a while back - http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/127739/maxell-usb-8-12gb-flash-drives-play/
So the Drive turned up this morning and all is well with it and the Laptop interacting and seeing each other no probs but ....
The Xbox 360 will not recognise this drive at all as a "portable device" on the Dashboard, when plugged in the option just remains greyed out .... tried it in all 3 USB ports that the 360 has and still no joy even after formating it in Windows still not being recognised even though the lights on the drive come on as they should etc.
So I noticed that the deal had been posted on here more than once and in reading the comments it would seem a few member on here bought this drive and some possibly to use with a 360, one member even mentioned that he was using it to watch videos on his Xbox ?
Just wondering if anyone reading this has one of these and is using it fine with a 360 maybe they could help me out with any advice ...... otherwise it looks like a might have a duff drive (yet it works 100% fine with PC and Laptop)
- Might be the drive format ,
360 can only read FAT32, some Harddrives are NTFS - add-manMight be the drive format ,
360 can only read FAT32, some Harddrives are NTFS
yeah thtd be 1st thing to check - Thanks guys but its FAT32 out of the box forgot to mention that and even reformated it again as FAT32 and its not changed anything ?
been round to my brother in laws and tried it on his PS3, Xbox360 and his Laptop all work fine except the 360 again, so it seems this drive maybe is not compatible with the 360 at all. Unless someone on here has got it working somehow ... You think Maxell in this day and age would make sure there product worked with the 360 flawlessly.
Thanks for the replies - Problem : Xbox 360 doesn't recognise files over 4GB in size when the storage device is formatted as FAT32 (The only "windows" formatted type partitions it will read)
Solution : Format it with a Mac type file system (HFS+)

Occupational Therapy Assistant (Associate's) - Richmond, Virginia
Associate of Applied Science
Virginia College in Richmond's Main Page | Program List
Learning, playing, working and caring for our families are among the "occupations of life." We take them for granted, but sometimes—due to physical, emotional or other challenges—the job of living is difficult for some people who can't fully participate in everyday tasks or live independently.
Occupational therapy assistants (OTA) work under the direction of occupational therapists in treating patients with injuries, illnesses or disabilities. They help these patients develop, recover and improve the skills needed for daily life and work. For example, an OTA might work with injured workers to help them get back into the work force by teaching them how to work around lost motor skills. An OTA might work with people with learning disabilities to teach them skills that let them be more independent.
The Associate of Applied Science degree in Occupational Therapy Assistant prepares the student for positions in hospitals, nursing homes, outpatient clinics, and schools. Many OTAs work in the offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists.
Employment of occupational therapy assistants is expected to increase 43 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations.1
What do OTAs do?2 Here's a brief summary:
- Help patients perform therapeutic activities, such as specific stretches and other physical exercises;
- Work with children who have developmental disabilities, leading them in play activities that promote coordination and motor skills;
- Teach patients how to use special equipment that improve their daily life skills;
- Record patients progress, report to occupational therapists and perform other administrative tasks.
In addition to classroom experience, this program will also include a 16–week internship of full–time, on–the–job application of skills.
If you are looking for a challenging career and have a desire to learn, achieve, and give your best to society, a career as an occupational therapy assistant may be for you.
1 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, April 6, 2012
2 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, April 6, 2012
NOTE: The Occupational Therapy Assistant program has applied for accreditation and has been granted Candidacy Status by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) c/o Accreditation Department, American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD 20814-3449. ACOTE's telephone number c/o AOTA is (301) 652-AOTA. The ACOTE website is www.acoteonline.org.
ACOTE accreditation is a three phased process. The first phase, the awarding of Candidacy Status allows the program begin the enrollment process. When the Candidacy Status is granted, the program may admit its first class of students and proceed with the "Initial Review". In this step the program assesses its compliance with the ACOTE Standards and submits an initial Report of Self Study. Upon review of this report, ACOTE grants, defers action on, or denies a Letter of Review. The granting of the Letter of Review indicates that on the basis of the paper review of the submitted materials, ACOTE has determined that the program is likely to meet the applicable ACOTE Standards if fully implemented in accordance with its plans. THE GRANTING OF A LETTER OF REVIEW IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF ACCREDITATION STATUS.
Graduates of the program will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapy assistant, administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). The NBCOT is located at 12 South Summit Av., Suite 100, Gaithersburg, MD 20877, telephone number 301-990-7979 web site www.nbcot.org. After successful completion of this exam, the graduate will be a certified occupational therapy assistant (COTA ). In addition, most states require licensure to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT certification examination. A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure.
Students must graduate from an accredited program to sit for the NBCOT certification exam. The College makes no representation, promise, or guarantee that accreditation will be granted by ACOTE, or that completion of this program assures eligibility for or passage of any certification examination or acceptance by any state board. Prospective and current students, as well as graduates, are responsible for researching and understanding all examination, registration, or licensure requirements in any state in which they seek to become registered, licensed, or employed.
Virginia College is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges (ACICS). ACICS has granted approval for Virginia College to offer this program. Virginia College in Richmond is licensed to operate by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV).

19 November 2007
A Cardiff University Psychology graduate who followed his dream of starting a sports training company for young people, is celebrating becoming a start up business of the year.
James Taylor's company Sportstars Wales has been named as the NatWest Startups Awards Business of the Year just 18 months after starting the business with money from a birthday gift.
SportsStars, which benefited from the support of an entrepreneurship scholarship from the Knowledge Exploitation Fund, also took home the Community Impact Award for the business's contribution to tackling childhood obesity through increased physical activity.
James and his team offer sports coaching for children during school holidays and provides cover for teachers during the compulsory planning, preparation and assessment work time. The company also runs sports coaching sessions during term time and works with parents to offer after school and weekend events across 15 different sports.
The 24-year old entrepreneur, who has grown the company and won other awards, including Shell Live Wire Young Entrepreneur of the Year Wales, 2006, said: "I feel amazing and so proud. I wanted to show that you can go out there and grow a highly successful business making lots of money whilst doing something extremely positive within the community at the same time. It's great to be able to show people that people like me can go out there and chase their dreams."The judging panel which included Martin Webb, presenter, Channel 4's Risking It All; Sahar Hashemi, co-founder, Coffee Republic and Oli Barrett, founder, Make Your Mark With a Tenner, commented: "SportStars proved it was entirely possible to start and run an ethically sound, community-minded business while remaining unapologetically focused on revenues and profit."James will be revealing how he made his entrepreneurial dream come true during a series of special seminars at the University soon.
Dr Catherine Bushell, Entrepreneurship Officer at Cardiff University said: "James is the latest in a long history of dynamic and entrepreneurial people to have graduated from the University.
"It will be great to be able to welcome him back to act as a mentor and share his success and enthusiasm with other young people thinking of embarking on a business venture."
In a separate project, a group of current students from the University who are part of a global initiative called Students in Free Enterprise won £350 from Make Your Mark, the organisers of UK Enterprise Week, to allow them to run a project at Coleg Glan Hafren in Cardiff.
The aim of the event was to encourage college students to gain awareness of entrepreneurship and other related skills in a fun and interactive environment. Over 300 college students attended the workshops and the Cardiff students hope to repeat their success by holding similar events at other local colleges.
The University is able to offer help and advice to any students wishing to start their own business through its Student Enterprise Unit. The Unit provides a range of assistance including skills training, professional development and start up support for new businesses.

Its so easy to get confused with the title angels and saints, especially in the case of a childs death we think in the terms of another angel in heaven. Actually its then you receive the title of saint. Then there are canonized saints, certain people who have lived heroic (extraordinary) lives in some way and that we can attribute two miracles through their intercession
The Blessed Virgin Mary, one seldom hears her title as saint but rest assured shes on the top of the list. The church I attend is named St. Marys in honor of her. Then theres St. Anne (Jesus grandmother, and St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus), the Apostles who walked the earth with Jesus, these all became saints except were not sure about Judas.
I just recently became aware there is a St. Mary Anne (Anne is my middle name). It used to be quite customary to name your child after a saint, so I couldnt have fared better. But dont get us mixed up. St. Mary Anne lived a heroic life in many ways; I even had a hard time giving up a piece of peanut butter pie. I hope to become a saint (go to heaven) but Im sure just making 1,000 pies for charity and doing spiritual writing wont put me on the deans list for canonization, but however it is leading in the right direction. Thats okay as long as one strives to become as holy as God wills it for each of us to be!
I do have a favorite saint, many of you would already know, its St. Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun whom Jesus favored with visions and Divine Mercy messages starting in 1931. This devotion has been so dear to me and certainly good for the whole world. Its so needed. Right?
I have come to believe and live the virtue of trust (a major factor in this devotion). Jesus I trust in you in more positive way to ward off fear, which is one of the devils tools. I try not to look back too much. We all just need to repent and go forward, trusting in the Lord and His great mercy. He desires all to be saved. I ask my heavenly Father for this grace for my family, myself, and the whole world (Chaplet of Divine Mercy) every day.
Jesus revealed many messages and devotions to St. Faustina, one of which is the Feast of Mercy. Mercy Sunday is always celebrated the Sunday after Easter. For 17 years we have been doing this in Winona, presently at the Cathedral. There is also a Diary of St. Faustina that God commanded her to write down all the messages He had given her.
I love St. Francis as well. He was a soldier in his day but eventually became a soldier in Gods army. He loved and helped the poor. He loved nature and animals very much so eventually he received the stigmata (wounds of Jesus). Many of you are familiar with the Prayer of St. Francis - Lord make me an instrument of your peace, where there is hatred let me sow love, etc. If all mankind joined together to recite that prayer wed all be friends. No more enemies, wars or killing.
St. Padre Pio was canonized a saint in 2002 by Pope John Paul II. He had the stigmata of Our Lord as well. Doctors estimated that for the next 50 years he lost a cup of blood every day, yet he was able to say daily Mass and hear confessions for as many as 16 hours a day. He had the gift of reading peoples hearts as well and would at times tell people to come back when they were ready to confess all their sins. He also had the gift of bi-location (two places at once) as St. Faustina did as well.
St. Therese, the Little Flower, is such a loved young saint. She died at age 24 and was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II. St. Therese didnt necessarily do such great things but did everything in a special loving way. What an example for all of us. Before she died she said she would let fall a shower of roses, so often after people petition her in prayer, they receive a rose or roses in a miraculous way. If interested, her autobiography The Story of a Soul is excellent reading.
Some people believe Jesus is the only one who can answer our prayers. Thats true, but we as Catholics firmly believe we can petition the saints and angels to intercede to God on our behalf. This grace even goes beyond that. Our loved ones in heaven are praying for us and even the souls in purgatory can intercede for us (however cant help themselves, so its up to us to help them, penance, Masses, etc.).
Oh dear, I didnt leave much room to talk about angels. I think that will have to be for another day.
Lets all live in union with angels, saints, and our fellow man. Then one day well all rejoice together in heaven.

Actually from what I have heard, the albino woman had a child with some man, the child was also albino and everybody thought they were witches so they killed her and the child. They buried her in the cememtary but not the child, so the albino woman goes at night trying to find her lost child.

I live near the cemetary, but I have yet to see the "Albino Woman". The legend that I've heard is that she was killed by her husband so she sort of prays on men. That's just what I've been told though, so no one really knows.

There waw an albino woman who lived on the cemetary property and a lot of youngsters thought she was a wierdo just, because of her appearance. They'd go out to the cemetary just to make fun of her. Well one night these high school boys were out there trash talkin the old woman and she probably finally decided to talk back. Of course they didnt take a liking ot that so they lit her house up in flames as a joke. The fire was quikly out of there control so they ran and left the old woman to burn. When the smoke cleared and the clean up crew came to find any evidence of foul play they didnt find a thing in the ash of human remnants. Not one bone of the woman yet she was never seen again…alive anyways

I lived in Topeka,Kansas and I never heard of the albino woman. But I did live in a haunted house: 1407 SW Van Buren. Me, and my family have had several encounters there. Matter of fact, in the backyard of the house, there was a grave. Check it out if u dont believe me. When I was a kid, me and my sister and brother used to ride our bikes over it all of the time because the top of it would stick out of the ground like a small hump. My older brother, when he was younger, woke up in the middle of the night to see a little boy crying at the end of his bed.(a ghost) Yes I know, that is creepy.

In the mid '60′s I along with some other guys and girls used to go out there on Friday and Saturday nights. It was by the Rochester Cemetary and not too far from the Rochester School. It was pitch dark and we all were hunched together in a car when we heard someone crying. We all thought someone in the car was being a practical joker, but everyone swore they weren't playing games. Then all of a sudden on of the girls in the car gets hysterical and starts screaming and crying. She said that she sees something walking towards the Car. Everyone is freaking out and the driver started the car and about went into a ditch. Luckily we didn't. I didn't see her, but a buddy of mine did and he was really freaked out too and couldn't even talk for awhile. It was no joke on us from the two who seen her because this had a heck of an impact on them both, not just for a night, but the following couple months. All I know is someone saw something..

There was indeed an albino woman and they are right it was by the Rochester Cemetary. She was an albino and many people mostly kids ( like me and my friends) would go there to try and see her. We seen her once and she did scare us but I think the poor old thing just wanted to be left alone so her only resort was to scare people off her property.

Dr. Martin Ringstaff, Cleveland city schools director, recently reinforced the system's stance against bullying.
He highlighted a quote from a pamphlet on bullying children are sent home with every year.
"... Cleveland City Schools is taking a proactive approach to minimize the chances that bullying will occur in our buildings. The general consensus is that one out of three children is bullied at school, in the neighborhood or online and that one out of three children bully others," Ringstaff said. "Regardless of where it occurs, bullying is a problem that affects all of our children ..."
Administrators and teachers are trained to identify, handle and report bullying incidents.
"We do probably 12-16 hours of training before school even starts and throughout the school year just on bullying, harassing and hazing," Ringstaff said. "We want to make sure that is addressed."
Any bullying incidents must be reported to the state and city school board. Information cannot be shared with the public as the subjects in question are minors. Ringstaff said this is the main reason more information cannot be shared with parents who want to know their child's bully is being punished.
He said any child under the age of 18 has legal protection. All the school system can say is corrective measures are being taken.
"I would love to tell you what we did, but it is against the law," Ringstaff said. "I can't just spill the beans."
Bullying is most often seen at the middle school among students in the transitional years.
"It is a maturity issue from probably late fourth-grade to mid-ninth-grade," Ringstaff said. "That four or five year period is definitely the hotbed of bullying. All middle schools take a hard stance against bullies."
A new weapon of bullies has come in with the latest advances of technology, specifically social media.
"By the way the state code works, if it happens outside of school then the school can still deal with it if it disrupts the school day," Ringstaff said. "... We have suspended students. We have taken action against students because of Facebook or Twitter."
"We can, although they might have sent the message at 7 that night," he added.
Corrective measures are not merely punitive in nature. Administrators take the initiative to ensure both the victim and bully learn from the circumstances. Explained Ringstaff, "We want to use this as an educational time, because we are dealing with students."
A part of the city school system's plan against bullying is open communication between students and school staff.
"A lot of bullying goes unreported because students are scared to say something. They go home to their parents and it is automatically assumed we did not do anything," Ringstaff said. "Well we didn't do anything, because we didn't know anything about it."
He added, "There has got to be open communication."
He said open communication between parents and school administration is needed in the offense against bullying. Parents who hear their child is being bullied are encouraged to contact the school.
"We are not going to drop the hammer and start suspending kids. We will investigate the matter and get the parents involved," Ringstaff said. "I think that is huge. Parents have got to be a part of the process, because nine times out of 10 parents have no clue their kids are either being bullied or acting as the bully."
According to Ringstaff, an investigation occurs for every bullying incident reported.
He said some investigations prove the one who reported being bullied was actually the bully.
"Because it has gotten so far, they pull back and say, 'Hey, I'm being bullied.' When we back up to the beginning of the timeline, there is probably a reason they went down this path," Ringstaff said. "Many times the initial report is not what the findings show."
"A lot of times it's not even bullying. It is something completely different. There is a lot to the investigation."

Just got a purple butterfly bush this year and it has grown like crazy. Should I be cutting of the spent spires to encourage new ones or will it make new ones anyway? Do I cut it back this fall??? Thanks. It has been phenomenal. I have seen the most lovely butterflies...and the hummers like it too. |
Follow-Up Postings:
hello yes. you want to deadhead, and I wait till late winter or early spring to cut them back, I don't know why I just do and it seems to be working fine. I love my butterfly bushes, I think they are my fav flower in the yard. enjoy michelle |
Thanks, Michelle. I've been doing some very light deadheading, but now I need to get out there and get to work. I live in Zone 5 (south of Indianapolis) so how far do I cut back next spring? |
- Posted by butterflyman 5 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 7, 07 at 7:39
I cut mine back to about a foot in the spring. |
Wait until they begin to leaf out in the spring....I wait until the new growth is about a foot tall, then cut the old back to meet it when I pinch the new growth. |

The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin is sending out a new warning to citizens who are concerned about the quality, openness and integrity of our elections. And it comes down to this (my words, not the League's):
If you have cringed at the finagling and meddling that Wisconsin Republicans already have achieved with respect to elections and voting rights, you're going to have to cringe some more.
Forewarned is forearmed. From a new League of Women's Voters email dispatch:
Scott Walker knows no bottom politically, and once again he's messing with Wisconsin's election process in an effort to make it easier for guys like him to win election. Walker says he'd like to get rid of same-day voter registration in the state. He says that would help beleaguered election officers who are absolutely swamped with too much work -- a lie, but hey, that's our governor.
Weekly Voting Rights News Update
By Erin Ferns
"I think the days of ballot box stuffing are more or less gone." - Allen Raymond, former GOP operative
Voter fraud by individuals has been a major partisan debate in recent elections, inspiring multiple states to consider or pass laws that purport to stop it, including "no-match, no-vote" list maintenance procedures and strict voter ID requirements. Despite federal findings that the act of casting an illegal ballot is exceedingly rare, partisans often cite large scale voter registration drives as voter fraud culprits, and perpetuate the myth of voter fraud by spreading the fear that such votes cancel out legitimate ones. With rising registration rates - particularly among historically underrepresented Americans - it is no surprise that partisans are spreading this myth, and the media often perpetuates the hysteria by printing stories on the small numbers of bad registration cards submitted by large scale voter registration drives (including the 1.2 million submitted by Project Vote voter registration partner, ACORN).

Spa Snapshot--Gadabout Man Interview Transcripts
Posted: February 1, 2008, from the February 2008 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Learn more about the exclusively male spa, Gadabout Man in Tucson, Arizona, by reading this transcript of the interview between Skin Inc. magazine and Gadabout SalonSpas' vice presidents Frank and Jana Westerbeke.
Skin Inc. magazine: What was the inspiration for starting Gadabout Man?
Gadabout Man vice presidents Frank and Jana Westerbeke: Gadabout Man is a place for men to feel comfortable and be able to express themselves. It is a place that they can call their own and where they can celebrate and talk with other men. This space gives them time and a place for themselves.
SI: What is the background of the founders?
Westerbekes: The key component of Gadabout Man is the male influence it has. One of the owners is a man, and it was designed for men by a man. The point is to keep a day spa feel, but with a masculine twist.
SI: In the inspiration of Gadabout Man, was Frank Westerbeke a large part of it, or was it just seen as a natural evolution of Gadabout for to begin offering a space and services exclusively for men?
Westerbekes: Frank was a large part of the inspiration for Gadabout Man. It was more of an idea that Frank had, and that really lead to an exciting new space exclusively for men.
SI: What kind of work went into launching Gadabout Man?
Westerbekes: We had to figure out a way to re-educate our already loyal guests while also encouraging new men clientele. We also wanted to keep the place very simple and focus on the man's desire: comfort.

Exercise and the Autism Population
Ex Rx: Careful preparation and specific strategies can help trainers succeed with autistic athletes.
Mere decades ago, it was unfathomable for baseball, football, soccer and basketball athletes to include strength and conditioning exercises in their training. Misinformation about what strength training would do (not for men and women, but to them) was pervasive then, and it persists to this day.

The 20th International Umpire Course from the International Taekwon-Do Federation was held at the Holiday Inn La Guardia in Queens, New York over the weekend of January 24th and 25th, 2015. With a participation of 66 members coming from Anguilla, Canada, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Uzbekistan and the United States took part in the umpire course which was conducted by the ITF Umpire Committee, Master Suarez and Master Ottesen, and we have the privilege to have with us during the event GM Wim Bos, ITF Director.
The course which followed the new and amended 2015 ITF Umpire rules and regulations began with an overview of the jury members, referees and umpires before going onto the purpose and procedures of the individual pattern point deducting system. The participants then had an opportunity to umpire and judge a number of pattern matches which raised a number of practical queries and discussions on criteria, scoring and decisions. The course also covered sparring competition and the rights and duties of the center referee, corner umpires, jury president and the ring assistants. The participants once again had an opportunity to umpire sparring matches using the electronic scoring system. The center referees displayed how to check the competitor's safety equipment and continued to show the full procedure of starting the match with the correct bowing in protocol at the start and finish of each bout. The competitors and sparring matches created and displayed various scenarios to ensure that an explanation of all the warnings and fouls could be explained and discussed. Finally, the last topic of the course was to discuss power breaking and special technique competition. It was with great enthusiasm to see all participants eagerly engaged with the content of the course.
On behalf of the National Taekwon-Do Association – ITF (NTA-ITF), the International Taekwon-Do Federation, the ITF Umpire Committee and GM Bos, we want to thank everyone who travelled and participated in the umpire course and a special thank you to Master Kurt Ottesen for his continuous commitment in the development of ITF Umpires in the United States.
This umpire course was an ideal opportunity for everyone in the USA to either refresh their umpire skills or learn umpiring skills for the first time. We look forward to seeing our International Umpires in the USA putting their skills at the forthcoming ITF World Championship in Italy at the end of May 2015.

...Read moreDear members of the ITF Family!
Some of you surely remember that I have started a fundraising campaign for Kemal Kasim from Ethiopia last year to bring him to Germany and to produce a prosthetic leg for him. After requesting information from orthopedic technicians, the costs should be approximately 8.000,00 to 10.000,00 €, certainly not a small sum. Therefore I traveled through Europe and Germany to participate at different ITF events (eg IIC in Vienna and Treviso and European Cup in Budapest) to sell bracelets and to raise money. The reaction of the ITF members was amazing!
Within 3,5 months I collected 9,716.73 €!!! (please see the complete list [PDF, 15 kB]). More than 20 countries donated money or bought bracelets! This was not to be expected within this short period of time. The "ITF Family" has shown great sympathy and has also proved that Taekwon-Do is not only a sport and a martial art or a way of life, but in fact it is also a social tool.
I thank all those involved and express my appreciation for this!
After several bureaucratic tasks (such as solvency check, travel insurance, liability insurance, etc.) that had to be overcome, the German Embassy in Addis Ababa today issued the visa for Kemal Kasim!
On February 9th he will be coming to Germany for almost 4 weeks to perform medical and orthopedic review and adjust the prosthesis. During his stay I would like to visit with him some TKD clubs to give him the opportunity to study ITF TKD in Germany and I will keep you informed!
Best regards

...Read moreDear Family of Taekwon-Do ITF;
The year closes with a sense of fulfillment by the accomplishment, that good feeling that leaves us having done our job and that is reflected in the achievements with a steady growth in the number of affiliates, the quantity and variety of courses performed and in the growing number of countries that recognize the ITF Taekwon-Do as a sport at official level.
All these results are possible thanks to the wonderful group we are composed of and that we carry out this passion called Taekwon-Do, as a banner to leave our mark on society.
Today more than ever, we can be sure that our Founder would be proud of us, our commitment and all those fruits obtained.
The Children Program is already underway, with great success and this is just one step to cover the age spectrum which transcends the way of our art. To complete it, in 2015 the "Harmony" program will be released which will be aimed to a public of senior people that I believe will open the doors to the practice to a whole new universe of people that will be able to enjoy our art safely through a wonderful adaptation.
Also expecting us, a new concept related to the competition which will take the form of a new course called ICC (International Competition Course), which will be led by GM Bos and will be offered as a new service for our black belts, besides the traditional and successful IIC lead by GM Marano, close to get to number 100 in Aberdeen, Scotland in March, 2015.
This time represents the end of a wonderful year, but at the same time indicates the beginning of a new one.
Therefore, let's regain the strength during these festive days resting for all that comes in the immediate future, which will be even better if we continue on this path.
Finally, I want to make a toast for each one of you, wishing you all enjoy in good health and with passion every moment, surrounded by your families and closer than ever to your loved ones and to Taekwon-Do.
With all my affection
Pablo Trajtenberg
Querida Familia del Taekwon-Do ITF;
Cierra un año con una sensación de plenitud por el deber cumplido, esa grata sensación que nos deja el haber realizado nuestro trabajo y que se ve reflejada en los logros como el crecimiento constante en el número de afiliados, en la cantidad y variedad de cursos realizados y en los cada vez más países que reconocen al Taekwon-Do ITF como un deporte a nivel oficial.
Todos estos resultados son posibles gracias al maravilloso grupo que componemos y con el que llevamos adelante esta pasión llamada Taekwon-Do, como un estandarte para dejar nuestra huella en la sociedad.
Hoy más que nunca, podemos estar seguros de que nuestro fundador estaría orgulloso de nosotros, por nuestro compromiso y por todos esos frutos obtenidos.
El Programa de niños ya está en marcha, con un gran éxito y éste, es sólo un paso para cubrir el espectro de edades que transitan por el camino de nuestro arte. Para completarlo, en 2015 será lanzado el programa ¨Harmony¨ el cual será destinado a un público de gente mayor y el que estoy convencido, abrirá las puertas a la práctica a toda un universo de personas que podrá disfrutar de nuestro arte sin riesgos a través de una adaptación maravillosa.
También nos espera un nuevo concepto relacionado con la competencia que tomará forma de un nuevo curso denominado ICC ( International Competition Course), que estará liderado por el GM Bos y será ofrecido como un nuevo servicio para nuestros cinturones negros, además del tradicional y exitoso IIC a cargo del GM Marano, próximo a concretar el número 100 en Aberdeen, Escocia, el próximo mes de marzo de 2015.
Este tiempo representa el fin de un año maravilloso, pero a la vez, nos indica el comienzo de uno nuevo.
Por ese motivo, tomemos fuerzas en estas fiestas y descansemos para todo lo que se viene en el futuro inmediato, que será aún mejor si continuamos en esta senda.
Al fin, brindo para que cada uno de Uds. pueda disfrutar con salud y pasión cada momento, rodeados de sus familias y más unidos que nunca a sus seres queridos y al Taekwon-Do.
Con todo mi cariño
Pablo Trajtenberg

Mozambique (November 20th to 23rd):
The fourth seminar in Mozambique since March 2013 helped to consolidate the techniques and the patterns of the black belts until Juche Tul, Sambo-, Ibo- and Ilbo matsogi and also the administrative work of the province associations.
At this moment in time ITF Mozambique has nine clubs with nearly 150 members and 13 black belts. The Associations are working to be recognized at the local governments and to send one or two people to the World Champs in Italy.
One 3rd degree black belt from Madagascar (Tafita Rakotoarisoa) participated at the Mozambique seminar. His country is very much interested to become our member and applied today for a seminar at the beginning of April 2015.
Currently this group consists of 6 clubs with about 400 members including 30 black belts.
Zimbabwe (November 23rd to 29th )
The first seminar in the history of ITF Zimbabwe started on Monday, November 24thwith the attendance of 6 black belts and 15 colour belts (Zimbabwe is a Club Member since June of this year). In the following days we went through all TKD aspects including correct warming up exercises, history and philosophy of TKD. In the evenings we had many meetings to give advice for a good structure of ITF in Zimbabwe.
On the last day 6 students were promoted to the 1stdegree black belt from 3 clubs in Zimbabwe.
Kenya (November 29th to December 4th)
Mr. William Wamweya, the new President of ITF Kenya, started this year with a new team very successfully. We went to the Registration Office and the Sports Council of Kenya and the new ITF Kenya is close to be recognized by the government as a non profit organization.
Furthermore William Wamweya has now the opportunity to open a new TKD group at the WIDA HIGHWAY MOTEL with good facilities and a very well known management to support ITF TKD. ITF Kenya has approximately 100 students.
Uganda (December 4th to 8th)
Representatives from ITF Uganda and from the police welcomed me at the airport in Entebbe and escorted me to the Capital KAMPALA with police siren and blue light J.
The next day we had a meeting with the SG of the Ugandan Sports Council, Mr. Jesper Aligawesa, and had been talking about future activities and structure of the new ITF Federation in Uganda.
ITF Uganda is recognized already after two years of good work from Niklas Enander from Sweden as TKD organization under the umbrella of TKD Federation Uganda. Many clubs now knocking on the ITF door to become a member of the new federation.
On the second and fourth day we gave interviews at two big TV stations and it was broadcasted countrywide with good success.
For the first time in my life I was in prison J …. not because of a crime….. but to conduct a seminar and it was with great pleasure and success.
All visited countries are working for the recognition with the government. Some are already recognized and others close to it. Furthermore they are doing their best to send representatives and/or competitors to the World Champs in Italy next year.
New countries did show their interest to become a future member of ITF e.g. Madagascar and Botswana and plans are already prepared to go to Angola and Ghana.
2015 will be a big challenge and opportunity for the ITF in Africa.

Aquatic Graffiti with Old World Charm
On the streets and rivers of far western europe, incredible aquatically themed art is appearing on almost a weekly basis. Who is this mysterious artist? A Sheffield UK based guy going by the name Phlegm, we don't know much about his back story, but we do know this: his art is exceedingly unique and beautiful. Creating huge, sprawling pieces which cover the sides of old decrepit buildings and the walls of brick lined river ways, his art is decidedly aquatic in nature. [Read more…]

[1204] High Risk Human Papillomavirus Is Not a Common Etiologic Agent in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
Aatur D Singhi, Joseph A Califano, William H Westra. The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD
Background: The human papillomavirus (HPV), a cause of squamous cell carcinomas of the oropharynx, has also been implicated as an etiologic agent in carcinomas of the nasopharynx. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of high risk HPV in carcinomas of the nasopharynx, and to assess p16 immunohistochemical staining as a method for distinguishing HPV-related from Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-related carcinomas involving the nasopharynx.
Design: We performed p16 immunohistochemistry and in-situ hybridization for EBV and high risk HPV on 45 carcinomas of the nasopharynx. For HPV-positive cases, imaging studies were reviewed in an attempt exclude secondary extension from the oropharynx.
Results: By in-situ hybridization, 34 (76%) carcinomas were EBV+/HPV-, 7 (16%) were EBV-/HPV-, and 4 (9%) were EBV-/HPV+. EBV was more likely to be detected in carcinomas from non-Caucasian than Caucasians (96% vs. 50%, p < 0.001). Conversely, HPV was more likely to be detected in carcinomas from Caucasian than non-Caucasian (16% vs. 0%, p = 0.03). Of the patients with HPV-positive carcinomas and available staging information, all 3 were found to have inferior extension into the palatine tonsil. All HPV-positive carcinomas were p16 positive by immunohistochemistry, but none of the HPV- negative carcinomas were p16 positive (100% vs. 0%, p < 0.001).
Conclusions: High risk HPV can be detected in a subset of carcinomas involving the nasopharynx, but many if not all of these likely represent secondary extension from an oropharyngeal primary. P16 immunohistochemistry is a reliable marker for separating EBV-related from HPV-related carcinomas of Waldheyer's ring.

House committee advances Indiana gay marriage ban

INDIANAPOLIS — A panel of Indiana lawmakers approved a proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage Wednesday night, setting up a battle in the full House of Representatives.
The House Elections and Apportionment Committee voted 9-3 in favor of the ban, after more than four hours of sometimes emotional testimony inside the House chamber. The vote followed a week of internal debate among House Republicans and a power play by House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, that lined up the affirmative vote Wednesday.
Bosma, R-Indianapolis, surprised many Tuesday by moving the proposed ban from the House Judiciary Committee to the House Elections and Apportionment Committee. The measure stalled last week when supporters could not find the votes needed to push the ban through the Judiciary Committee, spurring Bosma to seek other ways to advance the measure to the full House.
The ban won the support of all the committee's Republicans, including Ed Soliday of Valparaiso, but at least one cautioned that his support could hinge on changes to the measure.
"I was willing to bring it to the floor, and when it comes to the floor we'll take a look at it then," said Rep. Casey Cox, R-Fort Wayne. Cox said he would like to remove a sentence from the ban that likely bans civil unions and could ban employer benefits for same-sex couples.
Three Democrats on the committee amounted to the only "no" votes Wednesday, and one conservative Democrat was excused because of a medical emergency.
It's a far cry from 2011, when bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate signed off on the amendment. The ban must pass the Legislature a second time then go before voters in order to be placed in the constitution. But a shift in public attitudes and a strong organizing effort from opponents in the state's business and higher education communities have caused many lawmakers to reconsider their support for the amendment.
Rep. Eric Turner, R-Cicero, went before the new House panel Wednesday with the same arguments he delivered last week. Indiana, he said, needs to join other states that have enshrined the definition of marriage in their state constitutions.
"We've been debating this since 2004. It's time to put this debate to rest and let Hoosier voters decide," he said.
Opponents of the ban, led by the group Freedom Indiana, again outnumbered supporters at the second hearing. Activists wore red clothes and waved their hands in the air silently instead of clapping during testimony.
The hearings have been largely tepid events, with few outbursts, unlike the rowdy education and labor fights held in 2011 and 2012. House Elections Chairman Milo Smith, R-Columbus, asked activists to remain quiet and respectful through the hearing.
But testimony from a lawyer with the conservative Family Research Council arguing that gay marriage court rulings could pave the way for legalization of polygamy drew laughter throughout the crowd. Smith asked the crowd to pipe down, and when one activist gave Smith a thumbs down, Smith had him removed from the chamber.
Opponents of the amendment relied on business leaders again Wednesday to lay out their argument. Executives for engine-maker Cummins and pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly have said such an amendment could make it difficult to recruit talent from around the world.
Marya Rose, general counsel with Columbus-based Cummins, on Wednesday sought to discredit testimony from supporters who were flown in from out of state.
"For some reason I feel compelled to let you know I am a lifelong Hoosier," she said, to laughs from opponents of the measure.
Democrats on the House elections committee complained of the short notice they received from Bosma that the measure would be taken up Wednesday afternoon. The panel planned to vote on the ban after Wednesday's hearing.

for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Zeus!
Facts about Zeus

- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Zeus's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Zeus is a 5 month old American Bulldog mix. He is a super good boy! Loves to play tug & fetch. He's very loving and does good with other dogs. You can't go wrong with this gorgeous guy! He's a ton of fun!
His adoption fee of $125 covers his neuter and all shots including rabie.
Other Pets at S.C.A.R.S. Pit Bull Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Zeus, a Claypool American Bulldog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bulldog for sale in Claypool, or seeking a American Bulldog puppy from a breeder in Claypool.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Claypool 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 Claypool 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 American Bulldog breeders who help with American Bulldog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Claypool paves the way for another one to be saved.
