Pinkerton gift provides support for new literary collection
The University of Tulsa Department of English now has access to more than 32 million pages of text from the eighteenth century, thanks to a generous donation from Tulsa philanthropist Nieta Pinkerton and her late husband, James.
The recent gift enables the department to partner with TU's McFarlin Library to acquire Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO), a comprehensive electronic research database of primary source materials. ECCO includes almost every significant title printed in the United Kingdom during the 18th century and represents a major addition to the library's growing collection of electronic resources for supporting research. Students and faculty can access ECCO and other databases anytime, anywhere via TU's campus network.
Associate Professor of English Laura Stevens said acquisition of the collection will help the English department and other campus programs build on research and coursework related to the 18th century. The archive will be an especially helpful tool to faculty and graduate students.
"This collection is a mine of textual treasures. It will have a transformative effect on not only the teaching of 18th century Britain and its colonies in literature, but also in many other fields," Stevens said. "Already, it has saved money on books for next semester, opened our classes to a whole range of texts and assignments that were not available in the past, and provided crucial access to information that our graduate students need for their dissertation work."
McFarlin Library administrators and faculty in the Department of English said they are grateful for the Pinkerton family's support.
"We have wanted to add ECCO to the library's electronic holding for some time because we knew what a critical resource it is for graduate research in this area," said Adrian Alexander, dean of the McFarlin Library. "Mrs. Pinkerton's generous gift made the difference."

Default template for Outlook items sent to OneNote
I sometimes use the "Send to OneNote" option in Outlook to archive instructional emails for future reference or to collect information for an upcoming meeting or task.
Is there a way to change the default layout of these OneNote items and to add some default text as well?
The "Send To OneNote" add-in for Outlook, which gets installed when you install OneNote on your computer, copies some default text and properties of the selected message which you cannot change.
However, you can change the default layout of the messages by selecting a different default template for the section that you send your Outlook items to. This template can also contain text, tables, tags, etc… to use as a default structure for your notes.
Create separate sections in OneNote
In OneNote, templates are assigned to a page when the page is being created and cannot be changed afterwards. Therefore, to make sure that a specific template is always being applied when you send an Outlook item to OneNote, you must change the default template for the section that it will be send to.
As you probably don't want this to be the default template for other OneNote notes that you create, you'll have to create a new section in OneNote. You can opt to create a separate section for each of the supported Outlook item types; E-mail, Meetings, Contacts and Tasks (only in OneNote 2010).
The tabs shown in a OneNote workbook are called "Sections".
Set default section for each Outlook item type
Once you've created your section(s) for the Outlook items, you must configure OneNote to always use this section when using the Send to OneNote button for this specific item type. You can do this in the following way;
- Outlook 2003
Download and install the Send to OneNote from Outlook PowerToy.
When using the OneNote icon in Outlook, you can select the section to copy the item to. Pressing the OneNote text button will display a list of recently used sections to choose from. The amount to display can be configured via the add-in's Options… dialog. - OneNote 2007
Tools-> Options…-> section: Outlook Integration
The default is the Unfiled Notes section. - OneNote 2010
File-> Options-> section: Send to OneNote
The default is to prompt you for a section.
Select locations for notes sent to OneNote (Option dialog of OneNote 2010).
Change default template for a section
Now that the sections have been created, you can change the default template for a section in the following way;
- Select a section.
- Click on the down arrow next to the New Page button.
- Choose the following option from that menu;
- OneNote 2003
More Stationery Choices and Options… - OneNote 2007
More Template Choices and Options… - OneNote 2010
Page Templates…
- OneNote 2003
- At the bottom of the newly opened Templates pane you'll find a "Choose default template" list with templates to choose from.
- Repeat the above steps for each section that you want to apply a different default template to.
Accessing the Page Templates option in OneNote 2010.
Download or create your templates
You can download additional templates by visiting Templates section on Office.com. By clicking on the "Edit My Programs" link in the bottom left of that page, you can add a filter to only show templates for OneNote 2003, 2007 and 2010.
If you want to create a template yourself with some default text and other markup (like tables or tags/icons), simply create that page first in OneNote. Now open the Templates pane as indicated above. At the bottom you'll find the option to save the current page as a template. Your templates will be stored in a My Templates.one
file in the following location;
- Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\
- Windows Vista and Windows 7
Create and/or set default template for a section.
Note: If your default template contains text, the text which is being sent from Outlook to OneNote will be always added to the bottom of your template. Of course you are free to move around the inserted text block afterwards.

I am growing Walla Wallas in a SWC. I grew them a season or two ago and they ended up being about the size of a hard ball (baseball) at their biggest. I see people who have harvested the Walla Wallas and other similar onions from SWC and the ground that were like the size of soft balls. So what do I have to do to get them nice and large? BTW...I use 10-10-10 as a fertilizer. |

I've never tried growing Walla Walla, but here are a few tips I've found: ~ Walla Walla (as you probably know) is a long-day onion -- it wants a lot of daylight, so is best grown in Northern climates. You also need to plant early, of course. Are you planting soon enough? ~ Walla Walla likes a soil pH of 6 to 7. Have you checked your soil for acidity? ~ They also need a good deal of space -- are yours crowded? I read: 5 to 6 inches between sets and rows spaced 15" apart. ~ Also, a 10-10-10 fertilizer is recommended at planting, as you've done. But, about a month after planting, they recommend a high nitrogen fertilizer (21-0-0) applied at a rate of one cup for every 20 feet. Repeat every 3 to 4 weeks. And water immediately after applying fertilizer. I've never tried Walla Wallas because my garden is always far too muddy in the spring to plant as early as these need to get in the ground. Heck, my garden is usually still covered with snow when most people are talking about planting long day onions. I hope some of the above is useful! |
Personally, I would fertilize every 2 to 3 weeks. I do mine every 18 days (I write it on my calendar or I would forget). Onions also love water. I've read blogs from people who grow onions for show and they really water their onions. I'm not sure how much is too, much but I make sure mine don't get too dry. Good luck! |

My main research is focused on understanding how plants respond to environmental stresses. My lab is focused on abiotic stress tolerance acquired via symbiotic association between plants and microorganisms.
Science Saturdays Coordinator (http://www.uwa.edu/ScienceSaturdays)
Undergraduate Research Symposium at Natural Sciences and Mathematics (URS@NSM), Chairman (http://ursnsm.uwa.edu)
Increased greenhouse gas emissions cause elevation of global temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns which significantly affects agricultural economics. Environmental factors such as heat, drought and increased soil salinity causes significant damage to most plant species, particularly in the summer months and in warm and temperate climates. For example, in 2011, the state of Texas alone suffered more than $5.2 billion in damage to agriculture products due to dry weather combined with elevated air temperatures. The global average temperature is predicted to increase 0.3 oC every 10 years, threatening the future of crop production. My main research is focused on understanding how plants respond to environmental stresses. There are two major themes in my lab:
I am strongly committed to training undergraduate students and to encouraging women and minority students to pursue careers in scientific research. If you are interested in our research please send me an email.

Scott Gessler's latest non-citizen check nets five Denverites, zero actual voters
Last week, Secretary of State Scott Gessler announced the results from his second round of checks to remove illegal voters from the state's rolls. His office says 300 alleged non-citizens are registered to vote throughout the state in addition to the 141 flagged in September. Since these names were sent to Denver, the state's largest county, just five registrations have been canceled. None of them have voted, and their presence on the rolls appears to be as a result of a clerical error.Scott Gessler.
Gessler's controversial effort to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls and prevent fraud on election day has been earning headlines since August, when he first sent letters to thousands of registered voters asking them to prove they are citizens or otherwise remove themselves from voter rolls. His critics say that this amounts to voter intimidation; they feel he is wasting resources on what is essentially a non-issue. Some say Gessler, a Republican, is actively trying to block non-Republicans from voting in the tight Colorado race.
But Gessler says he has remained focused on registering a record number of voters in the state. He stresses that he's simply trying to prevent fraud and cheating and make the elections as fair and as clean as possible. Sam Levin Democratic officials voting in the Denver Elections Division last week as part of an early vote press conference.
With that goal, he has identified individuals who have at some point shown a form of identification, like a green card, to the Division of Motor Vehicles. Gessler's office also cross-checked those names with a federal Department of Homeland Security database of immigration records. His first round of the federal checks flagged 141 alleged non-citizens, leading to the removal of fourteen total across the state , none of whom had voted. The second round found 300 more, bringing the total to 441.
This amounts to a serious problem, highlighting the fact that there are loopholes allowing hundreds of non-citizens to sign up to vote, Gessler's office says. Of the 441 who have received letters and whose names has been sent to county clerks with instructions and recommendations on how to challenge them, 82 have voted in past elections, his representatives maintain. If those people were undocumented immigrants, their votes would be fraudulent.
Gessler and his staff have repeatedly told us they are confident most of these voters are non-citizens, since the federal database has them listed as such. His critics, however, say the Department of Homeland Security information can be inaccurate or very out of date, as was the case with one voter we spoke to last week. He has been a legal citizen since 2001 but still received the latest warning letter from Gessler's office, because he shows up as an immigrant in the federal database.
One way to better understand what the actual impact of Gessler's actions has been and will be in the final week of the race is to look at the consequences in the state's largest county. As we reported in September, Gessler's first round of checks resulted in four voters being removed from Denver's rolls. The Denver county clerk's office says the reasons can be traced to what were essentially data entry errors, and the rest of the 42 flagged names check out. Gessler's office, however, says the county clerks have no dependable way to actually verify that these voters are citizens other than relying on the fact that they've checked the box and said they are.
In this second round, Amber McReynolds, director of elections for Denver, tells us that 46 new names were sent her way from Gessler's office. The Secretary of State's figures show 96 Denver voters in the two rounds total, with thirteen of them having voted in past elections.
McReynolds says her staffers investigated the names sent her way and found one had already been canceled -- so it probably shouldn't have been on the list in the first place. Additionally, five more needed to be removed. These five voters, who have no history of voting in the state, were canceled for the same reason as the first four -- essentially clerical errors within the county clerk's office, she says.
"They were data entries and they have now been canceled," she says.
Continue for more details on the canceled voters and response from Gessler's office.

It was an act of the Provincial Congress, which made itself into the state Legislature. Thomas Edison began his career as an inventor in Newark and later built the first industrial research lab in Menlo Park where he perfected his first invention, the Telegraph and he became known as "The Wizard of Menlo Park". An interesting fact about New Jersey is that with dramatic views of the Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Liberty State Park and its amenities draw four million guests a year.
For those seeking recovery, New Jersey has a wealth of resources. Sober living houses are prolific throughout the state, in both metropolitan and rural areas. The largest metropolitan areas in the state are Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, and Edison.
For those looking for work, New Jersey has an average unemployment rate of 8.6%. If it is higher education you're seeking, New Jersey is home to Rutgers University, Montclair State University, and Thomas Edison State College.
Take a look at the list of New Jersey sober living homes below. Once you find a sober living home you're interested in, fill out the contact form on that page and someone will promptly respond to you. If you'd like to speak with someone directly in reference to one of these sober living homes, please contact us at (888) 70-NEXUS.

The Gasparilla Distance Classic Association is once again proud to lead the pack in offering to its runners and walkers the latest in timing technology. In 2015, race participants will be timed utilizing the ChronoTrack B-Tag Timing System, developed and designed with RFID – radio frequency identification. Much like the ChampionChip Timing System when it was introduced, the ChronoTrack B-Tag Timing System will dramatically improve overall efficiency and the participant's experience.
Here's how it works. The technology is woven into a tag that will be placed on the back of each runner's bib/race number. That's all there is to it. The runner will not be required to affix the Timing Tag to their shoe.
In preparation for the Official Results, transponder pads at the Start, Finish and along the race course will record the participant's time. Post-Race, each participant will receive both their Start Time and Chip Time, as well as any splits that were recorded.
PLEASE NOTE – If you intend to run the Publix Gasparilla Half Marathon AND Publix Gasparilla 8K on Sunday, February 22, 2015, you must register and complete an Entry Form for both events. Unless you are running the Michelob Ultra Challenge, you will be issued a Half Marathon Race Number AND a 8K Race Number.
When running the Half Marathon, you MUST wear your assigned Half Marathon Race Number ONLY. Do not wear or carry your 8K Race Number during your Half Marathon. Before starting the 8K, YOU MUST remove your Half Marathon Race Number and replace with the 8K Race Number.
Because of the sensitivity of the Chrono Track Timing Device, wearing or carrying your 8K Race Number during the Half Marathon OR wearing or carrying your Half Marathon Race Number during the 8K, could impact your Race Results.

I have Quartz-Lock grout (first generation, not the second generation QuartzLock2) in my kitchen floor. "Mushroom" color. For the first 12 - 18 months it looked great. However, in the last 6 months or so, it's started to look very very dirty!
What's the best way to clean it? On the QuartzLock website it says that enzyme-based cleaners will damage epoxy grout and void warranties...is Oxyclean an enzyme-base cleaner? Here's what the website says: Alert/Caution They seem to recommend bleach or toilet bowl cleaner. For calcium, lime, or other water minerals...For stubborn stains use some type of toilet bowel cleaner or a lime and calcium deposit remover. Thoughts and comments? |

Dont get stains on your grout and you wont have to clean. Why do all you people bother posting for answers when all you will do is play the he said she said blame game. Be smart, research and stop believing what you read all the time. Do some tests once and a while for your self. God it is so annoying knowing everything.

Mormon Row Historic District
Photo © Wyoming Travel & Tourism
America's most pictured barn anchors Mormon Row, an abandoned farming settlement, posed against the perfect backdrop of the Grand Tetons.
Mormon Row was a distinct agricultural community within Jackson Hole. Though it only lasted two generations, it is an example of the western settlement experience. Mormon Row can be seen as a small taste of the pioneer way of life that many Americans lived in the West. It was inhabited principally by Mormons, and so the farming and irrigation practices are shaped by the Mormon experience on the western frontier.

Well some of you may know me. I have had a thread going for about 5 or 6 months about my AR build. I am now in month 4 of waiting on my upper from RAR guns. That being said, I am tired of waiting on it and I am ready to get something on my lower. I need something that will put down a hog or any other north texas big game with one shot. I have recently checked out the .458 socom. I know this round will achieve that, but... what are some options you experienced AR guys would offer up. I have looked at 6.8 .50 .458 .300 .338 6.5 .450 .... I am so lost. I have a Sun Devil billett lower with a MOE buttstock, spikes T2 buffer and a RRA lpk that I built about 5 freaking months ago. Someone please give me their input on my best option, considering quality, practicality, and cost. While your at it send me to the best place to purchase, becuase I would like to get an order in NOW!!!! Thanks Guys.

AIMs has a .300BLK upper and ammo for sale that would probably be on your doorstep before the RAR. The .300BLK is accurate but is only designed for 200/300 yards and in. Personally I'd look into an AR chambered in .308. It'll bring down a human out to a good distance so I imagine it can handle a hog. 5.56 will put a hog down w/ 1 round. Cancel you order w/ RAR. You could have already had a couple k rounds through a much nicer AR for the same price already.

i do plan on getting a 308 eventually. but for the time being i am wanting to buy something that i can run on my platform that i already have. it is my understanding that a 308 is a completely different lower than the 5.56. if that is correct then i would be buying a whole new rifle. I want to something in a large caliber that will fit a ar-15 lower like my sun devil. i am abondoning common sense here and looking for something big not necesarilly practical. maybe not the 458 maybe 6.5, or 6.8 I just want something i can put in my pac and switch out if i want to. that is why i am not looking at the 308 right now. i know this may stupid, but that is why i am trying to see if anyone has any experience with any of these caliber uppers. if i am going to make a bad decision i want it to be an educated bad decision.

Going to run your server this weekend? didn't see it up tonight!
SkaarjMaster |
17th Nov 2001, 03:03 AM | #42 |
The server is up 24/7 I found a map that caused the server to hang but I have played all the maps thru now and everything is fine. I may also have been updating some maps since NC seems to work again now, I took some of the maps off that was to large, some people disconnects when they see a huge DL starting up. I looked at some of the maps you suggested and some of them are in the rotation now, Escherland, Blody Blocks and Helleth ][ to name a few. Oh, and I activated the xloc |

If you want peace, prepare for war.. |
17th Nov 2001, 09:10 PM | #44 |
I'm going from my favorites. You must have changed the IP address. I'll try it after the FSU/Florida game. See Ya!
SkaarjMaster |
17th Nov 2001, 10:49 PM | #45 |
Heya SkaarjMaster,
Yeah, ip changes once a month or so - thats why I set up a 'dynip' domain for the server: Open location: einherjer.dynip.com:7787 Or perhaps the easiest way, just click the 'DM' tab in the ut server browser and sort on the server name, then my server is the top 5-6 or so, name is '!!!! - the best custom maps...' Try the 'ReconStarCruise' map - I found it yesterday and it rocks... |
17th Nov 2001, 11:48 PM | #46 |
Just played a few maps on your server, yeah, that Recon map is fun! It's fun to snipe that stupid bot that sits up on top outside the ship. Of course, it's usually a different one.
I also played Escherland][; the bots get stuck in a couple spots, but you shot them and they come alive. Still think this is an original and fun map. It's fun to race through jumping down all the levels, get to the bottom run thru and jump down the stairs and start all over again. Loque beat me. Then, I played FbRoute66 (according to your web site, this shouldn't be there); this was just a fun frag fest galore! Came in 2nd again. Didn't know about that sort servers feature; just never used it. Like what you did to the bots, some hard ones and easy ones and some in between; it's the luck of the draw. I'll have to get on and play Helleth][ sometime soon! See Ya! SkaarjMaster |
18th Nov 2001, 12:17 AM | #47 |
What the full name of the DM-ReconStarCruise map? I saw something similar but different come up on the servers page in UT. Usually, authors will list this in their .txt or .html file. Do you know where I can download the .zip file for this map? I tried Nali City and the file was corrupt. Can't find it on the other map sites in my favorites either.
Looks like the map vote is back. Seems fine to me either way! The map vote is good for trying out the maps you like first. The rotation is good so the same maps aren't played over and over. Is Morbid Curiosity still there? I was looking forward to playing this one. See Ya! SkaarjMaster |
18th Nov 2001, 01:09 AM | #48 |
Hey SkaarjMaster,
Yeah, the bots sitting on top of the ship is pretty dumb Did ya notice that there is an IG rifle up there? The xloc is on so you can use it to get it - you can realy rack up frags with it. Escherland is fun, but the bots gets stuck cause it uses portals to connect all the rooms. Same thing happens in Anubis in the room with the stairs - but the bots are only there so there is somebody to play until some humans shows up so its not a big deal. This link to reconstarcruise should work, thats the one I used to download it from: http://beyondunreal.com/nalicity/dl....starcruise.zip I will keep mapvote on - I have moved all the standard maps out of the maps folder, so there is only custom maps to choose from - the reason you could still select fbroute was that I forgot to remove it from the maps folder and only removed it from the maplist. I had to remove MorbidCuriosity, it was almost 8+ megs with the custom textures and music/sounds - thats to much for people that dont have the map allready im afraid. |
18th Nov 2001, 12:23 PM | #49 |
Thought I saw something up there in Recon, but I was having so much fun exploring other parts of the map that I didn't bother x-locing up there.
Yeah, bots do get stuck in Anubis, but since this is my favorite DM map, I kinda forgot about that. Still had trouble with that link you gave me to the Recon zip; when I try to unzip it I get the following error: Error in file #1: badZip file offset (Error local header signature not found): 632195. Any idea what this is? I e-mailed you anyway, just send me the .txt or .html file and I'll be fine. Thanks. Also, no big deal with Morbid Curiosity. But, where are all the human players? Some guy got on then got right back off when I was playing Recon. The pings aren't that bad and the bots being easier to beat definitely helped. Well, I'm going to keep playing your server, I hope more people come. SkaarjMaster |
19th Nov 2001, 12:02 AM | #50 |
Now you know how bad I am! Anyway, fun games. Morbid C. is not as good as I thought it was; haven't played it in a while, but I finally played it online.
Yeh, BloodyBlocks is a rocket fest, but I go for the flak (being the flak ho that I am) and see how I can do. Actually, I went more for the rockets this time and some for the redeemer. It's amazing you can hide behind a wall and not get nuked. Hopefully, they'll change this to be more real for Unreal 2. Beholden is definitely all over other servers. This is a great map and this should stay on your server. Actually, I have a server I run once in a while, but only 3 other people that I know have all the maps, skins and voices for it. All bots are configured with different skins and voices. It's the SkaarjMaster Server. If someone has a lot of maps, skins and voices, it may work for them. Otherwise, it's a cable USB server and messes up when the downloads start. I'm switching to ethernet cable soon. Got that .txt file for REcon? See Ya! SkaarjMaster |
19th Nov 2001, 12:56 AM | #51 |
Heya Skarj,
Not bad at all - if you are used to a good ping it takes time to learn to adjust to a higher ping, the server is also at a slightly higher speed (135% ) than normally and that takes some adjustment to, And I have a very low ping - I am playing thru my other adsl connection but I still get a low ping, there is something about adding some lag by adding something to my ini so my ping will be more fair when I play on the server that I will try to get working... Only 2 things I got against morbid is that is looks like all the other 'inside a castle' maps and the filesize is 8 megs. Yeah, beholden is a GREAT map - extreemely well balanced, it has always been one of my favorite maps. Its looks like my version is messed up to - I know I downloaded it from NC, but I may have installed the map from my cache using 'UT map manager' I have sent you a link to a fixed version, its only 600kb. |
19th Nov 2001, 11:46 AM | #52 | |
I'll hop on this server tonight, if you'll be around Skaarj... |
19th Nov 2001, 12:34 PM | #53 |
Peregrine, well I guess the redeemer thing is a matter of opinion, but what got me going on this was a 1on1 against Loque in Liandri and that SOB kept ducking behind stuff. Maybe they should make it that if you duck at or near the center you die, but if you're along a certain outer area of the blast then you're O.K. I should be on that server tonight at about 10-11 eastern time!
ILoveToKill, sent you an e-mail also, that zip file had no text file with it, I have the other two files already. Don't like the increased speed in combo with the lag, but at least it's not turbo. Please don't increase it to turbo, that is just a little insane. Dude, when do you sleep? SkaarjMaster |
19th Nov 2001, 02:07 PM | #54 |
Hey SkarjMaster,
My zip was also corrupted, so I made a zip without the readme file, sorry I misunderstood you Dont worry, I will not increase the speed any more. Hehe, yep that game we played was a little early for me, I think the time was like 5:30 in the morning here in DK Time to get some sleep |
19th Nov 2001, 04:29 PM | #55 |
Just played Constructor and Helleth][ and got 180 pings when I first went online to your server. I was on around 4pm eastern time today. Let's here it for under 200!
Yessssssssssss! SkaarjMaster |
20th Nov 2001, 02:10 PM | #56 |
Hehehe, thats great
The server is getting more popular I can see from the logs, and many players have a ping around 80 or so and thats definately ok. |
20th Nov 2001, 11:43 PM | #57 |
Yeah, it's getting more popular. Just got off (the server); I need to get to bed before midnight some night this week. Played against birdhouse, I think we are about the same skill, but maybe I was killing more bots or I knew the maps better or something. Also, 3-4 other players (mr. scary is probably still on).
I miss accussed someone of voting 3 times for a map, then apologized. I got to quit jumping to conclusions like that. I used to not say a thing; maybe I should go back to doing that, NOT! Anyway, is there a way to have someone vote only once? SkaarjMaster |
21st Nov 2001, 12:18 AM | #58 |
Just checked your web site, it seems you've added a bunch of maps; I thought I noticed it while going through the map vote. Be careful not to add too many or people will tire of scrolling through the list. 52 maps is probably enough. Give it a month or so and the ones that don't get picked that often can get deleted and maybe get it down to an even 40. Anyway, that's just my opinion.
I now have 37 out of the 52 maps. I have Deck32][, but no other decks. I don't like water or darkness. I just finished deleting about 25 maps from my Maps subd and now it's below 500 maps in that directory and I'm going to keep it there (RustyInc was one of the unlucky maps but he was on the fence). Actually, if someone picks a map while I'm online, I'll give it a try; I'll DL BloodAndIron and check it out (never heard of it). I, really, need to keep the original map name by author, I have to change UT-Tourney-][ and Dm-Sewer][ back for them to not auto-DL from your server. Enough chatter, so much for getting to bed before midnight. SkaarjMaster |
21st Nov 2001, 12:30 AM | #59 |
Almost forgot, Vault is listed twice, I believe the second one is supposed to be RumblePitt. Also, there are 2 Agio's (4 and 35; not sure what the .uz means).
21st Nov 2001, 04:01 AM | #60 |
Hey SkarjMaster,
It does not realy matter if they vote like 3 times in a row, they will only count as one vote - but I have Mapvote set to 'acumilation' (sp?) so the vote you place carries over to next time - if you want to play say, beholden, and two other players keeps voting for other maps you will get beholden if you vote for it a couple of times - if its a draw, Mapvote will just choose the next map. Just fixed the mappage, 'uz' is the extension for a compressed map/file - if you notice when you download a new map the server will only get to like 35% before its finished downloading. |

July 14, 2010
Jefferson City, Mo. - Attorney General Chris Koster said today a St. Louis County jury has found Joseph J. Miller, 61, to be a sexually violent predator. Miller has been committed to the Sex Offender Rehabilitation and Treatment Service in Farmington. The judgment and commitment order was signed by Circuit Court Judge Carolyn C. Whittington.
The Attorney General's Office sought Miller's commitment as a sexually violent predator after he served a 15-year prison sentence. He pled guilty and was convicted in 1992 for sodomy of a 5-year-old female. In addition, Miller pled guilty in 1988 in St. Louis County to sodomy of a 3-year-old female. He was sentenced to 5 years in the Department of Corrections for the 1988 offense.
Koster said during the trial for commitment as a sexually violent predator, evidence was introduced that Miller had admitted to having 12 to 16 child victims.
"We must keep those who demonstrate a likelihood of committing further violent sexual acts off the streets and away from those they could harm," Koster said. "It is important for individuals who are deemed sexually violent predators to get the help they need while the community is protected."
Those committed by the court as sexually violent predators go into the custody of the Missouri Department of Mental Health. They have the right to have their cases reviewed annually to determine if their mental abnormality has changed, making them unlikely to commit further acts of sexual violence if released.
Currently 147 sexually violent predators have been committed in Missouri. This is the 11th commitment this year. Commitments are handled by the Public Safety Division in Koster's office.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cassandra!
Facts about Cassandra
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Or Chocolate (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Cassandra's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and not good with cats.
Cassandra is a young cat who is content with lying around all day and soaking up the attention. She is friendly with humans but doesn't get along real well with other cats.
Cassandra was brought into our shelter as a young kitten and has been patiently waiting to find a forever home ever since. She would be a great lap cat in a quiet home without much noice or chaos.
Other Pets at Humane Association of Northwestern Rhode Island
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cassandra, a Pascoag Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Pascoag, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Pascoag.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pascoag 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 Pascoag 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pascoag paves the way for another one to be saved.

BioPharm America™ 2012 program is full-to-brimming with top life science CEOs
Carlsbad, CA and Boston, MA – July 31, 2012: BioPharm America™, to be held September 19–21, 2012 in Boston, MA has an unprecedented program line-up featuring top CEOs for what will be the most influential US life science partnering event of 2012. EBD Group, the leading partnering firm for the life science industry, will hold the annual event at the Westin Boston Waterfront in collaboration with the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council (MassBio).
"BioPharm America is well-established as the leading North American life science partnering event," said Carola Schropp, President of EBD Group. "The deals that have previously been made at this event have had an incredibly positive impact on the year-end prospectus for our attending biotech and pharma executives. They count on us to bring them face-to-face with the best the industry has to offer."
"The landscape for biopharma companies is changing with new laws and a greater focus on patient needs," said David Meeker, CEO of Genzyme, a Sanofi company. "What worked in the past to make Genzyme a global biotechnology leader based in Massachusetts, may not work today. I look forward to sharing thoughts on innovation and partnering opportunities with others at BioPharm America."
Wednesday's opening plenary session "Who is the best player in the value chain?" will be moderated by Doug Cole of Flagship Ventures with speakers Robert J. Gould of Epizyme; Mike Poole of AstraZeneca; Terry Porter of Takeda Pharmaceuticals; and Philip Vickers of Shire HGT.
"This topic will ensure a lively discussion," said Robert J. Gould, Epizyme's President and CEO. "Biotechs have demonstrated the ability to deliver innovative research, but we have often relied on pharma partners to bring those discoveries through clinical development and beyond. Emerging strategies, like the creation of personalized therapeutics for patients with genetically defined diseases, now enable innovation in business models as well. It will be interesting to explore the potential for biotechs to once again drive their products through development and to the market."
Thursday's keynote panel "From start-up to commercial company and the challenges in between: Could we do it again today?" will be moderated by industry expert Karen Bernstein of BioCentury. Speakers include Geoff MacKay of Organogenesis; David Meeker of Genzyme, a Sanofi company; and Richard Pops of Alkermes.
"Partnering is one of the most critical tools to offset the cost associated with R&D. We will discuss innovation in pharmaceutical development and how collaborations have changed the way we do business," said Richard Pops, CEO of Alkermes.
Adding suspenseful fun to the program, Wednesday's spotlight panel "Let's make a deal because 'Biotech has talent'" will give delegates in the audience 30 seconds to pitch their company, product, technology or service to a star-studded panel of judges representing big pharma. Moderator Douglas MacDougall of MacDougall Biomedical Communications will call upon delegates to present to the jury made up of John Gustofson of AstraZeneca; Tomas Landh of Novo Nordisk; James O'Mara of Ironwood Pharmaceuticals; Deanna Petersen of Shire; and John Sorvillo of Amgen. The first and second place winners will receive a full 30-minute private one-to-one meeting with the panelist of their choice.
The program topics cover pressing issues for industry insiders, from spotlight panels covering innovative partnerships in field of immunotherapy, pre-competitive collaborations, emerging markets and global drug development strategies, to a discussion on best deal structures. The business development track includes pharma/venture hybrid funds, financing models and a critical review of major deals of the past year.
Again this year, BioPharm America will celebrate the announcement of the Fierce 15, selected for their pioneering technology and innovative business models, with John Carroll, Editor-in-Chief of FierceBiotech, set to lead a discussion with several Fierce 15 CEOs on the current landscape in life sciences.

Hegerl U et al. – In duloxetine–responders to both pain and mood, self–rated pain improved slightly earlier than self–rated mood. The short temporal dissociation between pain and mood improvement might be explained by an earlier conscious perception of pain than mood changes.
Methods- Data were obtained within a prospective 6-month multi-centre naturalistic study in adult out-patients with depressive episodes treated with duloxetine (flexible doses: 30-120 mg/day).
- Pain and mood were assessed daily by visual analogue scales.
- For responders (n=622) "time to 50% pain response" and "time to 50% mood response" were determined by counting the earliest day between day 0 and 27, at which the patient achieved 50% improvement.
- Mean time to 50% pain response (mean 6.3 days, SD 5.3) was significantly shorter than time to 50% mood response (mean 7.6 days, SD 6.0, mean difference 1.3 days, SD 6.4; p<0.0001).

Welcome to the board!!!Originally Posted by tobler16
Yes you can, and you'll probably save money as Disney usually raises prices every spring. Unused days "never" expire. So, you can buy tickets now and not use them for 1, 5, 10 years, etc.
Notes: If you are going to visit WDW for at least 8 days, you'd probably be better off buying Annual Passes. Also, if you are a member of AAA you can get discounted tickets (can't buy Annual Passes though) which amounts to not paying the Florida sales tax on them. It's only a few dollars, but every dollar counts.

Walmart Bass Fishing League - Western
LAKE OROVILLE (Feb. 16, 2002)
Gutierrez wins Wal-Mart BFL Western Division opener
OROVILLE, Calif. — Greg Gutierrez, Red Bluff, Calif., topped 89 Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League competitors Saturday on Lake Oroville with five bass weighing 10 pounds, 8 ounces. The catch earned him $2,940 and 200 points in the Boater Division.
Gutierrez caught his limit, which included a 3-pound, 15-ounce bass that earned him big bass honors and a $445 bonus, using a drop-shot rig with a brown and green worm in the lake's north fork. The catch topped second-place boater Brad Taggart, Oroville, Calif., by 13 ounces. Taggart finished the one-day tournament with a five-bass catch weighing 9 pounds, 11 ounces worth $1,470.
Ed Zinda, Sacramento, Calif. (five bass, 9 pounds, 3 ounces, $882); Charles Almassey, Oakley, Calif. (five bass, 8 pounds, 14 ounces, $676); and Mike Hanson, Oroville, Calif., (five bass, 8 pounds, 14 ounces, $676) rounded out the top-five boaters. Almassey also earned a $500 bonus from Ranger Boats as the highest finishing participant in the Ranger Cup incentive program.
Steve Fredrick, Jackson, Calif., claimed first place and $1,389 in the 79-competitor Co-angler Division with five bass weighing 8 pounds, 9 ounces. He squeaked by second-place co-anglers Dink Mendez, Campbell, Calif., and Dallas Merrick, Hayward, Calif., by 7 ounces thanks to a ¼-ounce white gitzit that he was fishing drop-shot style in the lake's middle fork. Mendez and Merrick finished with identical five-bass limits weighing 8 pounds, 2 ounces worth $555.
Ron Owen, Roseville, Calif., (five bass, 8 pounds, 1 ounce, $333) and Jesse Hoover, San Leandro, Calif. (five bass, 7 pounds, 15 ounces, $305) rounded out the top-five co-anglers.
Co-angler Dave Newton, Antioch, Calif., earned big bass honors and $197 in his division with a 3-pound, 6-ounce bass.
Overall, 103 five-bass limits were caught during the tournament.
The Wal-Mart BFL will visit Folsom Lake March 23 for the second of five Western Division events. The boater with the most points after the division's season finale, a two-day Super Tournament Oct. 12-13 on Clear Lake will be declared the Yamaha "Be the Best" Points Leader and awarded $1,000. The co-angler amassing the most points by the end of the season will receive $500.
The top-30 Western Division boaters and co-anglers will advance to regional competition Nov. 12-16 on Lake Havasu near Lake Havasu City, Ariz., where they will go up against top competitors from the Colorado River Division for a shot at qualifying for the Wal-Mart BFL All-American — one of the most lucrative post-season tournaments in competitive angling.
2002 BFL awards could reach $7 million based on full fields.

I am sorry to bother you with another Ivermectin question! I read through all the posts and all the dosage recommendations were for 1% solutions and .27% solutions. I wish to use this paste:
Zimecterin (Ivermectin) Paste 1.87%, 0.21 oz. (6.08g) What would the dose be for Heartworm prevention for a 100lb dog? And what would the dose be for Dermodex mite treatment? ***I'm not sure if my dog has this but I can rule out mange because she has no hair loss and she doesn't itch. All I know is that I brush her almost daily and I itch like crazy after sitting on the floor with her. It's NOT fleas. Whatever it is -it's microscopic because I will itch and not see any insects! Her only symptom- besides making me itch LOL- is she has developed dandruff on her back and the dandruff isn't flaky. It is tanner and grittier than normal dandruff. Only one of my 3 has it and she is my eldest- a 11 yr old German Shepherd. My other 11 yr old german Shepherd and my 6 month old Pyrenees do not. Thank you! I know it is cheaper to use the liquid kind of Ivermectin but it is easier for me to buy the cattle paste kind. Lori |

I know it is cheaper to get the cattle kind of ivermectin, but dosing is also harder. When I use the liquid ivermectin, I use 1/10 cc(ml) to 10-11 lbs of body weight. On the dandruff thing, I would check and see if the dog has lice (ewww, gross), but if they come in contact with mice, mice can carry the lice. Also, cheap dog food with corn as the main ingredient, and lots of by-products/wheat can inflame a dog's skin and give them a skin allergy. I own a kennel and have seen many dogs come in being fed a crappy (beneful, pedigree, ol'roy, dog chow and the likes) dog food and have problems with skin allergies and ear infections, not to mention that they constantly scratch and lick/chew their paws. Just me $.02 |

DO NOT USE THE PASTE WORMERS ON DOGS!!!! There have been several, anecdotal, I grant, references that there is an ingredient in all the paste wormers that is toxic for dogs. One that I read said that even a small amount licked up off the ground (size of a pea) can be harmful. How harmful may depends on the individual dog, but why take chances? The stuff is probably one of the so-called inert ingredients, that make the paste paste-y, but as far as I know, no-one is sure what it is right now. I think if you Google, you should get a couple of references. I have had no trouble giving my dog the Ivomec injectable in her food, but you can also take the needle off the syringe when you draw it out, have the dog sit, open the mouth, pointing up, and squirt it to the back of the mouth, and then give a yummy treat. If your dog is difficult, try if 2 people work, or give it in food, with a tasty gravy maybe? |
