Billy reportedly in Shock !!!!
A jumbo-sized road sign claiming that civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican has stirred a religious and political fight in Houston, where a church leader is trying to draw black voters into the GOP.
July 14, 2009
A billboard proclaiming that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican has stirred a religious and political hornets' nest in Houston, where a church leader is trying to draw black voters into the Republican Party.The jumbo-sized roadside ad made its contentious claim for about a week -- until a local black activist charged that the sign unjustly politicized King's legacy and was hurting his community by telling a "blatant lie."
"Martin Luther King may have very well believed in some of the Christian principles of the Republican Party, but Dr. Martin Luther King was not a Republican or a Democrat," said Quanell X, who heads the New Black Panther Party in Houston."Dr. King was bigger than a political party -- he was a humanitarian, and so to attach him exclusively to any party is to devalue his humanitarian global status," he said. "We were insulted ... by the billboard because it was a blatant lie."
King held great sway over black voters and carefully courted both Republicans and Democrats. He never officially endorsed a party or candidate.
But the founder of RagingRepublicans.org, the black conservative group that sponsored the sign, told FOXNews.com that the sign was designed to get blacks to rethink their political affiliation -- about 95 percent of blacks voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential elections -- and that this is just the beginning. He said a radio campaign that focuses on "the destructive nature of liberalism" is forthcoming."We think it's imperative that [the GOP] try and attract more people from the communities of color to vote their values -- to vote conservative," said Claver Kamau-Imani, who heads the Corinthian Christian Empowerment Church, a small house church in Houston.
What's more, he said, the sign is accurate.
SR: Jackie Robinson who many Liberals hail as a Ground Breaker in Baseball was also a Republican.....
I wonder if the Suicide Rate in Marin County, CA, NYC, and L.A. jumped after that revelation !
Most liberals and black separationists can't handle the truth! As for Hitler, he was also an environmentalist who loved the arts, animals, and fine food (he sang and also painted.)

Betis on the move after beating Deportivo
Real Betis Balompié lifted themselves to fourth in the Liga standings thanks to a 3-2 success at second-bottom RC Deportivo La Coruña, after the game between Granada CF and RCD Espanyol ended goalless.
Starting the day in fifth, Betis set about leapfrogging Málaga CF when Castro Rubén fired them ahead six minutes before the break. The 31-year-old then doubled his tally ten minutes after the restart, but the visitors were back on level terms just six minutes later when Riki weighed in with a quick pair of goals. Betis were not to be denied, though, and clinched victory courtesy of Joel Campbell's 76th-minute winner.
The result meant that Deportivo slipped a place in the table, with Granada moving up to 18th following their 0-0 stalemate with bottom club Espanyol. As for Levante UD, they missed the chance to go fifth in a 1-1 draw at RC Celta de Vigo, but they were pleased to come away with a point courtesy of Roger Martí Salvador's late strike from close range. The substitute's 89th-minute effort cancelled out De Lucas's neat finish before the break, with the draw leaving Celta 14th with 15 points.
Real Zaragoza played with ten men for 77 minutes and almost claimed an unlikely victory at RCD Mallorca. Glenn Loovens was dismissed after 13 minutes and gave away a penalty in the process to compound an awful start for the visitors, but Roberto promptly denied Victor Casadesus from the spot. Minutes later, Hélder Postiga turned in from close range at the other end – and that looked set to be the winning strike until Casadesus made up for his earlier miss five minutes from time to keep Mallorca a point above the bottom three.

Race through different track layouts and challenge others in multiplay
Dodging and running opponents off the road are all part of the challenge in Island Racer.
Island Racer is a racing game for those who don't need hard-core vehicle simulations. You drive a car through a variety of tracks, including off-road, and nudging your opponents off the road not just allowed by encouraged. Island Racer installs on Macs easily. There is a Lite version, which is free but limited, while the full copy will cost you $4.99.
Island Racer lets you choose your car silhouette and color, and then gives you a third-person behind-the-car view as you steer around the tracks. Island Racer can generate track and scenery in real time, so each track can be different. The graphics are good in a cartoonish manner but not outstanding, although some of the vehicle damage images look strange. The problem we had with Island Racer is simply that once you've steered through a track or two, the playability goes down because they all start to look and behave the same. There's not enough variety for long-term enjoyment for most people, and the physics and damage modeling are too simplistic for hard-core race simulation fans. There is an online competition mode that may be more thrilling for many.
Island Racer is a mixed bag. It's good for a few runs, but we suspect boredom will set in after a few races. Of course, this kind of racing game may be exactly what you are looking for, so the free Island Racer Lite version is worth a try if you like racing games.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Island Racers 2.5.3.

Trista Tote Basket
Love it
I bought this basket to store my son's toys in the living room. It looks like it belongs with the decor, but even more importantly, it is sturdy enough to be used every day. I chose this basket over the square ones because it is strong enough to withstand an infant/toddler pulling up on it and pushing it around. After 6 months the basket is not fraying or collapsing. Great buy!
June 17, 2012
I was looking for an inexpensive but attractive storage container for our son's toys, that could be stored in the open in our living room which is modern/contemporary. I can throw his blocks, books, dvd's, rattles, and small stuffed animals in there, and it contains them while providing easy access. It creates a cohesive look in the living room, which is great since we are now sharing that space with a baby. I can keep the basket in a nook and not think twice about it looking out of place or taking up too much real estate.
I'm seriously considering buying another to store blankets and throws. I think it would contrast well with the colors of the throws we own, and would make for easy access when we want to curl up on the couch for a movie or a nap.
I envision storing all types of categories of items in these baskets - they are EXACTLY what I haven't been able to find at other stores for this price (not even the big box stores).

Southwest Publishing purchases Jostens Building
Southwest Publishing plans more jobs after purchasing Jostens building
(Friday, September 20, 2013) A new building and a new press could mean more jobs, according to Southwest Publishing.
Southwest Publishing & Mailing Corporation announced Friday that it has purchased the former Jostens facility located at 4000 S.E. Adams. Shane Hillmer, president of the company, said he hopes the expansion will allow its workforce to increase from the current 260 to more than 300, and increase its sales from about $30 million to $40 million.
Jostens announced in 2012 that it would move production work from Topeka to its plants in Clarksville, Tenn., though it planned to keep 87 employees in Topeka, mainly in customer service, marketing and technical support. Hillmer said Jostens signed a lease for 30,000 square feet of office space for the next five years.

A Buffalo Bills fan club is planning a tailgate party near the Buffalo Bills stadium to honor the late team owner Ralph Wilson.
Just hours after the team said the 95-year-old Wilson had died at his Michigan home Tuesday, the Bills Mafia fan club announced on Twitter that it would hold a memorial tailgate at a privately-owned parking lot just down the street from Ralph Wilson Stadium.
The group says Bills fans want to say thank you to Wilson the best way they know, with a tailgate party.
The event will start at 1 p.m. Sunday. Parking will cost $10, with all proceeds to be donated to the Hunter's Hope Foundation. The foundation is named for the late Hunter Kelly, son of former Bills quarterback and Hall of Famer Jim Kelly.

Vodafone Jumps on Verizon Talks: Tech Winners & Losers (Update 1)
(Updates from 11:56 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Salesforce (CRM ) shares are up slightly ahead of releasing its second-quarter results, rising 0.51% to $43.00.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Salesforce will earn 7 cents a share on earnings of $939.25 million. In the same quarter 2012, the cloud computing company, the world's number one provider of customer relations management software, earned 11 cents a share on $731.65 million.
In June 2013, Salesforce purchased cloud computing company ExactTarget in cash for $2.5 billion or $33.75 a share, a 52% premium.
Vodafone (VOD ) shares spiked 8.10% to $31.79 after confirming talks with Verizon. Vodafone owns a 45% stake in Verizon Wireless, its joint venture with Verizon. Today, the British telecom company confirmed that it is in talks with Verizon to sell that stake, worth a reported $130 billion. The sale would present an attractive deal for Verizon, granting them full control of the world's top wireless carrier and saving them the nearly $10 billion they pay to Vodafone in wireless dividends. Verizon (VZ ) shares are also up, rising 4.24% to $48.54.
Shares of Zillow (Z ) jumped 7.08% to $95.30 after the completion of its acquisition of StreetEasy. The Seattle-based online real estate company paid $50 million in cash for StreetEasy, a New York City-based real estate website with about 1.2 million monthly unique users. The deal was announced on August 19. "We're very excited to officially welcome StreetEasy into the Zillow family," Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff said in a statement. "StreetEasy has cracked the code in New York City, and its strong, recognized local brand is a complement to Zillow's leading national brand." Michael Smith, the cofounder of StreetEasy, added that the acquisition would allow StreetEasy to "leverage Zillow's expertise, knowledge and resources to continue to bring New Yorkers the best, most accurate and timely real estate data."
Closing prices: CRM rose 2% to $43.65, VOD jumped 8.1% to $31.80 and VZ was 2.7% higher at $47.82. -- Written by Laura Berman in New York Follow @LauraBermanTST

Dresser. I love gift-wrap and I also love anything and everything having to do with typefaces.
So it is no surprise to me that I have had my eye on this vintage typographer gift-wrap ever since Emily over at Jones Design Company posted about it as well as many other pretty papers she uses. I wanted to find a way I could use this gift-wrap where I could enjoy the pattern in my daily life instead of only wrapping gifts with it and giving it away. When I started to update my guest room I got an idea on how I could incorporate it into the room.
Book letters. Vintage Paper. Plain box that you can find at any craft store decorated with a vintage map and sheet music One of my favorite places to shop in my town of Castle Rock, Colorado is The Barn. It is an old barn that has been converted into little shops. Each of the old stalls is now a shop that sells vintage and new items. The Barn is my go to place when I am needing something vintage, chippy and full of character. Gift Wrap. Fabric Rose. We have finished up our Fabric Flower swap at I love 2 Create.
I am just waiting on a few more flowers to arrive and then I will get them back out to everyone who participated. I wanted to share my Fabric Roses. They are super simple to make and perfect to use your fabric scraps on. Greeting Cards. You've might have seen seed paper recently.
It is homemade paper with flower seeds in it. When it is planted in the ground and given lots of TLC it will bloom into beautiful flowers you can enjoy. Seed Paper Tutorial. I first heard of seed paper–or hand made paper that has real flower seeds embedded in the pulp itself and is actually plantable–about a year ago while browsing through a stationary catalog.
It was the coolest idea I'd ever seen–and so incredibly spring-y! Well, who knew that you could make this funky stuff all by yourself? Paper Flowers. Japanese Kusudama, this tutorial is featured on Craftuts Anyone can do that, I assure you.
The proof: I can, just take a quick look at my result below. And, believe me, I am neither meticulous nor particularly patient. You could even say I'm the opposite. Aqua Mason Jars. Love those ol' blue mason jars but feel like skipping the flea markets or the steep shipping costs from eBay or Etsy?
Well hear ye, hear ye! Did you know that you can mimic the aqua/turquoise look on clear jars with the help of some transparent glass paint? I know, right! Doily Lamp. Crepe Rose. Today I came across these super cute Crepe Paper Rose Pomanders made by Shelley Smith from the House of Smiths blog.
Shelley's easy and inexpensive DIY project is perfect for any wedding reception or bridal shower decor. Make sure you head over to Shelley's blog for more DIY projects and tips. Lotto Ticket. Chalkboard Bubbles. Aug 31 Here is another idea we did for the Kirtsy Party at Blogher.

Silica (silicon dioxide), a nonmetallic crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen, is the most abundant mineral in the earth's crust, where it is most commonly found in the form of quartz or sand. Only recently recognized as having a role in human nutrition, silica's functions in the body are not well understood. It appears to play a role in the mineralization of bones and teeth, and in the formation of collagen, the primary protein component of bones, connective tissues, hair, skin, and nails. Supplemental forms of silica include colloidal silicic acid, sodium metasilicate, and the silica-rich herb horsetail grass. Silica is also available in a homeopathic form known as silicea.
Good sources of silica include whole grains, green leafy vegetables, root vegetables, asparagus, and sunflower seeds.
There is no established RDI for silica. The average diet is estimated to provide 5 to 20 mg of silica per day, and this appears to be sufficient for most people. No toxicity has been associated with high silica intake. Inhalation of large amounts of silica (as occurs in people with high levels of industrial exposure) can cause a respiratory disease known as silicosis, and is associated with an increased risk for lung cancer.

Welcome To Waterford
Garbage collection is on regular schedule
Waterford consists of 33 square miles of land in Southeastern Connecticut surrounded by water on three sides and intersected by two major interstate highways. We are located two hours from New York City and Boston with easy commutes to Hartford and New Haven for those people who wish to drive. Our community has developed over the years from a rural farming community in the 1700s to a suburban community with approximately 20,000 residents.

Feverfew is a bushy perennial herb. The dried leaves are used in capsules, tablets, and liquid extracts. Parthenolide and glycosides are thought to be its active components.
People take feverfew mostly to prevent migraine headaches. Evidence from three of four relatively small but well-designed studies supports these claims, but the largest and best designed of these studies did not. Differences in study findings may reflect the different formulations of feverfew used. In studies of people with arthritis, feverfew did not relieve symptoms. It has also been used to treat fevers, toothaches, insect bites, infertility, psoriasis, allergies, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and problems during childbirth.
Mouth ulcers and skin inflammation (dermatitis) may occur. Taste may be altered, and heart rate may be increased. Feverfew may interact with drugs that prevent blood clots (anticoagulants), drugs used to manage migraine headaches, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It may reduce the normal clotting tendency of particles in the blood that help stop bleeding (platelets) and may reduce the absorption of iron. Feverfew is not recommended for children or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. In addition, feverfew may cause allergic rashes.

Microsoft made a splash back in March with the long-awaited release of iPad versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. At the time, new CEO Satya Nadella promised work was also underway on a touch-enabled version of the Office suite that will run on Windows tablets as well as Android devices.
Now Microsoft is looking for volunteers to test beta versions of Office software that could in fact be the touch-enabled Office apps.
The "pre-release program" reported by PC World includes Microsoft's productivity suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Visio, Access, Publisher and Outlook. Business users can also sign up to test beta versions of Exchange, SharePoint and Project.
But as details aren't yet known, this beta testing program could primarily be related to a new desktop version of Office rather than mobile platforms. Microsoft watcher Mary Jo Foley reported last month that the so-called Metro touch-enabled version of Office for Windows may not be ready until Spring of 2015.

Cystic Fibrosis: An Overview
Guest: Dr. Patrick Flume - Pulmonary, Critical Care, Allergy & Sleep Medicine, MUSC
Host: Dr. Linda Austin – Psychiatry, MUSC
Dr. Linda Austin: I'm Dr. Linda Austin. I'm talking, today, with Dr. Patrick Flume, who is Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine as well as Director of the Cystic Fibrosis Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Flume, let's talk, in this podcast, generally, about cystic fibrosis, and just try to lay out an overview of that illness. A parent first hears that their infant has CF. How do you begin to explain to them what this illness is?
Dr. Patrick Flume: Well, cystic fibrosis is a genetic illness. And that means that they're born with this problem. It's not something that's contagious or they contract later. Most of these patients, we'll diagnose early in life, generally in the first year. And particularly now, we're doing newborn screening for CF. So, most of the patients that we'll identify are very young, so this becomes a brand new, very large diagnosis for the families to understand. So, we realize there is going to be a lot of education and we need to break them in slowly.
When the patients first come to the pediatric program, our pediatric pulmonologist will do a thorough evaluation, first trying to figure out the child's clinical needs, and then begin the educational process. We tend to see those patients very frequently early on, because we know it's going to take time to get the parents fully up to speed on what to expect, how to take care of their child.
Dr. Linda Austin: What are the classic symptoms of cystic fibrosis in a baby?
Dr. Patrick Flume: There are primarily two common manifestations. One is failure to thrive. These patients have pancreatic insufficiency, which means they don't make digestive enzymes, and so they don't digest their food. They're not going to grow. The other most common manifestation is chronic recurrent pulmonary infections. So, when a child isn't growing, having recurrent pulmonary symptoms, the pediatrician will then proceed with testing for cystic fibrosis.
Dr. Linda Austin: But, you mentioned that this is typically done, now, at the time of birth. Is that right?
Dr. Patrick Flume: We have started newborn screening. About 42 states have now introduced that into their usual newborn screening. So, from the heel stick, we get the blood and we can look at immunoreactive trypsinogen; a digestive enzyme which is elevated in the blood in children with CF. And, in those kids that have very high levels, we'll then proceed to additional testing.
Dr. Linda Austin: So, you can make a pretty clear diagnosis?
Dr. Patrick Flume: Yes
Dr. Linda Austin: Now, you mentioned, right off the back, that this is a genetic illness. Typically, will the parents have had distant relatives, at least, with CF, or does it often come as kind of a total shock that this would run in their family?
Dr. Patrick Flume: Many will. It's a recessive gene. So, you have to have two abnormal copies of the gene in order to have disease. So, in those families where there is a family history, for example, one child born with CF, obviously, we have a very strong suspicion and proceed with testing right away. But the gene frequency in the population is reasonably high. So, in the Caucasian population, with no family history, about one in 20 to one in 25 will be a carrier. So, in those couples, about one in 2,500 births will have cystic fibrosis.
Dr. Linda Austin: That is pretty common for an illness that is a significant illness. There have certainly been many advances in the treatment of the lung symptoms and in the pancreatic symptoms of cystic fibrosis. When a baby, or a young child, starts to manifest those symptoms, what are the treatment strategies that you use, now, to control the illness?
Dr. Patrick Flume: There are a number of therapies that have become common place in the care of these kids. And although we talk about CF as if everybody's the same, we recognize that everyone's a little bit different in terms of their illness, but also their resources. In terms of their lung disease, the symptoms that they develop are those of chronic lung infection. So, these kids will have excess mucus in their secretions. It's infected. It's an infection that's very hard to get rid of, so they have a hard time clearing these secretions.
Every drop of sputum that these kids cough out contains millions of bacteria. So, if can get them to clear these secretions out, they can unload an awful lot of infection, and then inflammation. And it's the inflammation that's doing the damage to the lungs over the long haul. So, one of the most basic of therapies is what we call airway clearance. And the classic example you'll see used in infants is percussion and postural drainage, where you'll see the parents using cupped hands, beating on the child's back or chest to help them move these secretions.
We use a fair amount of antibiotics, including aerosolized antibiotics, in the beginning to try to eradicate the infection. When that's not possible, to at least suppress the infection. If they have exacerbations, their symptoms become worse. Then, we oftentimes will move to IV antibiotics to try to treat the infection. We use aerosolized medications to change the nature of these secretions, to thin them out, if you will, to make it easier to clear. One example would be Pulmozyme, an aerosolized enzyme, to break up the DNA that's in those secretions. We use hypertonic saline; water that's as salty as the ocean, to try to help mobilize these secretions. Of course, with the digestive problems, we put them on digestive enzymes. They need lots and lots of calories, so we have to ramp up their calories and monitor their nutritional status. We have to put them on vitamins. And there are a number of other therapies, depending on their problem.
Dr. Linda Austin: Now, how about treatment for the pancreatic problems?
Dr. Patrick Flume: Well, that's where the digestive enzymes come into play. They don't make their digestive enzymes, so we give them digestive enzymes in a capsule form. So, they have to take those with everything that they eat. If they don't take their enzymes, they'll have trouble; abdominal cramping and frequent trips to the bathroom, and they won't gain weight. So, we give them those supplements. And we oftentimes give them medications to suppress the acid in their stomach to try to help with their digestion and other symptoms.
Dr. Linda Austin: I know that the prognosis for cystic fibrosis has really improved a lot over recent decades. What is the median lifespan, now, for someone with CF?
Dr. Patrick Flume: The median age of survival; predicted survival, in our current data is about 37 years of age.
Dr. Linda Austin: Meaning that half of all kids, right now, will live at least that long?
Dr. Patrick Flume: We'll expect them to live even longer. And, to put that into perspective, when I started in this in 1990, the median age of survival was less than 25 years of age. And so, a child born today has a considerably better prognosis than a child born 15, 20 years ago. So, we're not done, but it's considerably better.
Dr. Linda Austin: And, what have been some of the most recent advances that have helped CF patients live longer, better lives?
Dr. Patrick Flume: The biggest advances are more potent antibiotics and better nutritional supplementation. So, we have a far more aggressive approach to antibiotic use than we ever had, including current studies trying to eradicate that first infection. So, we no longer wait for the child to become symptomatic. We start culturing their airways, really, from the time they're born. Once they have a positive culture, we take more aggressive steps to try to eradicate that infection, and to delay the progression of chronic infection.
Dr. Linda Austin: I would imagine you have some real success stories at this point.
Dr. Patrick Flume: Yes, we do. We have seen success in a great many ways. Some are related to lung transplantation. When we're able to have a person who is nearing the end of their life, very debilitated, undergo an operation, and now look seemingly normal, it's very gratifying. The first patient that we put to transplant, while I was still at the University of North Carolina, was done in October of 1990. And I had the pleasure of speaking to him on the phone in just the last month. So, 17 years of life, so far, is really remarkable.
Dr. Linda Austin: Since transplant?
Dr. Patrick Flume: Since transplant. We have a very successful transition program here at MUSC. And when I talk about transition, I'm talking about moving kids from a pediatric clinic setting to an adult care setting. CF had traditionally been a pediatric disease. But, now, with nearly half the patients being of adult age, and the expectation that the majority will be adults, we need to move them into an age-appropriate care setting. And that has been very successful. Our pediatricians are very adept at preparing these kids for moving into the adult world. You see them take on independence. So, much like seeing your own kids grow up, it's gratifying to see them take responsibility and thrive.
Dr. Linda Austin: Let's talk about the adult clinic, then, in another podcast. Thank you very much.
Dr. Patrick Flume: Thank you.
If you have any questions about the services or programs offered at the Medical University of South Carolina, or if you'd like to schedule an appointment with one of our physicians, please call MUSC Health Connection at: (843) 792-1414.

Shocking news! The 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' couple was slapped with a long list of charges — from bank fraud to tax evasion — on July 29 and if convicted they could go to jail for over half a century!
The Real Housewives of New Jersey may have to start looking for a new star. Like for the next fifty seasons or so. On July 29 it was announced that Teresa Giudice and her husband, Joe Giudice, have been indicted on 39 charges related to money fraud. If the reality TV couple is found guilty, they could face over 50 years in prison!
Joe & Teresa Giudice: Tax Evasion & Bank Fraud Charges
U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced the charges, claiming that Teresa and Joe massively defrauded the IRS as well as several banks between 2001 and 2008, according to TMZ.
The Giudices allegedly illegally obtained multiple mortgages and other loans from multiple banks by purposely overestimating their incomes, the U.S. Attorney stated.
But that's not all — the couple also allegedly withheld vital information about their net worth from a U.S. bankruptcy trustee after filing for Chapter 7, including Teresa's true income from starring on Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Additionally, Joe is accused of failing to file income tax returns for the years 2004-2008, during which he allegedly earned $1 million, TMZ reports.
All in all, the couple faces 39 charges, including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, which carries a max sentence of 20 years, and bank fraud, which carries a sentence of 30 years! And those are just two of the charges, the 37 other lesser charges also carry the possibility of even more prison time.
Neither Teresa nor Joe have been arrested, according to TMZ, though they are both due in court on July 30. Bravo is not commenting on the matter.
Teresa & Joe Giudice Indicted: Teresa Releases A Statement
After the charges were handed down, Teresa spoke out, saying, "Today is the most difficult day for our family." She continued:
I support Joe and, as a wonderful husband and father, I know he wants only the best for our lovely daughters and me. I am committed to my family and intend to maintain our lives in the best way possible, which includes continuing my career. As a result, I am hopeful that we will resolve this matter with the Government as quickly as possible.
Teresa's statement makes us wonder — does she realize that she could be going to jail too?
What do you think about this shocking news, HollywoodLifers? Can you believe that Teresa and Joe could be going to jail for such a long time? Let us know!

I'm just worried about what will become of their children, where will they go?? I mean I know Teresa and joe dont seem to be the best if people but they're still their parents and living pretty much their whole lives without them will be awful:( well…god has a plan, everything happens for a reason. Prayers to the both of them and they're family.

I can't stand either one of them. They both live in an alternate universe. Teresa has been making money off her mother and aunt's recipes and Joe is just a loser and probably a cheater. I would like to see Cathy, Rosie and Melissa become the new stars of the show just having fun and showing some of Cathy's recipes.

Only watched that show a few times but from the get-go I thought Teresa was one stupid woman. She can't even speak intelligently and my 4 yr old granddaughter can pronounce more words than Teresa can. All she knew was how to spend money and try to keep up with the rest of the people. Wouldn't surprise me to find out she didn't know what the hell she was doing, just following her meal tickets orders. Joe comes off no better. It's obvious from the shows I saw them in that he can't stand his wife, probably sticking with her because she'll take him to the cleaners in a divorce. But that hurdle seems to have been knocked down now! Teresa can't get half of his prison cell but she won't need it, she'll have one of her own!
Just sayin.

I may still have a Chuck Norris remembrance movie marathon later. The Octagon, Eye For An Eye, Good Guys Wear Black, Invasion USA, Force Of One....
If he dies then maybe the fads do too. *crosses fingers*

Roe v. Wade (1973)
In this personal liberty case, the Court held that "the right of personal privacy includes the abortion decision." States could not ban the procedure within the first trimester and varying levels of state interest in regulating the procedure in later pregnancy were defined.
The Court based its decision in part on the right to privacy found in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) and the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause.
This case touched on constitutional principles including federalism and liberty.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
Thermal and stress simulations saved time in the development of a new Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) microprocessor by validating thermal design of the chip and special test equipment prior to prototyping. The company used FloTHERM software to model the performance of the semiconductor and test equipment in realistic cooling environments. They also predicted the temperature of the various elements within the package as well as the temperatures and thermal stresses that are applied to test equipment.
"Simulation helped us identify potential thermal and stress issues prior to first silicon. By iterating on the design of both the chip and the test equipment in advance, we were able to avoid problems that otherwise might have created costly delays. The availability of new software that not only addresses thermal management issues but also automatically calculates the resulting thermal stresses played a key role in our success."
Bao-Min Liu, Senior Engineer for AMD
Critical thermal performance requirements
Thermal performance is a critical aspect of nearly every microprocessor design. To that end, every chip released by AMD must meet tough internal performance specifications. But it is difficult to determine the thermal performance of a new design without actually building and testing it. A variety of tests are run to evaluate thermal performance under many different conditions such as with different types of heatsinks and packaging options. Finding a problem involves a time-consuming troubleshooting process and makes it necessary to repeat the physical tests. Another critical requirement is the design of the test equipment to validate thermal performance. A typical test stand includes heating and cooling systems as well as a control system that cycles the microprocessor through many different temperatures while the chip runs performance tests. Designing the control algorithm used to run the test stand is a major challenge because it is based on junction temperatures that are difficult to accurately predict in advance.
Several years ago, AMD engineers evaluated a new generation of software that performs component and system level thermal analysis to resolve thermal issues prior to first silicon. The idea was not to replace physical testing, which is required for validation purposes, but to resolve thermal issues in the silicon and the test stand prior to physical testing to avoid additional design iterations.
"We looked at several different types of computational fluid dynamics software and selected a package that reduces the time and skill that is required to simulate complicated electronics cooling problems because it is specially for electronic cooling applications," Liu said.
FloTHERM software allows users to assemble models from libraries, avoiding the need to create them from scratch. It provides an abundant supply of thermal model libraries for existing components. Automated gridding and distributed processing across networks streamlines the process of evaluating multiple iterations to optimize the design.
The company has also introduced a thermo-mechanical stress module called FLO/STRESS that uses the temperature field calculated by the CFD analysis to provide a fast, first-order estimate of thermo-mechanical stresses within components, boards, thermal interface layers, solder joints, etc. This module requires little additional setup time because it uses the geometry and temperatures already created for CFD to drive the stress analysis.
Creating and solving CFD and FEA models
Liu began by modeling all parts of a new, yet to be announced, microprocessor as cuboids. He then added the model to a model of a board specified in EAI/JEDEC standard EAI/JESD51-3. The boards specified in this standard have very specific requirements for stock material, board outline and trace design. The model was solved to generate thermal performance parameters including junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, junction-to-board thermal resistance, and junction-to-case thermal resistance as well as temperature profiles within the package under various conditions.
Liu tried many heatsinks and also evaluated lid and lidless options. He concluded that the thermal resistance from the junction to the heatsink was higher than desirable in the initial concept design largely because new process rules made it possible to shrink die size. He modified the model to add a metal lid to reduce the junction temperature and improve the mechanical shock resistance of the package. He then re-ran the analysis and confirmed that all thermal performance parameters were within design specifications.
Next, Liu created a new systems level design based on the test stand to evaluate the thermal stress on the heater plate. He first created a CFD model of the test stand that also provided the model and mesh needed for thermal stress analysis. Solving the model generated the temperature results required as input for the thermal stress analysis. The geometry, grid and temperature information were seamlessly passed from the CFD solver to the finite element analysis (FEA) solver at the end of the CFD calculations. The solid areas in the model were discretized using traditional finite element procedures and the change in temperature predicted by the CFD analysis was used to calculate the solid deformation. No extra model building or meshing was required.
"Despite the fact that this was the first time that I had used the program for mechanical stress analysis, it only took about one week to create the package-level and system-level models and to perform thermal and mechanical stress analysis," Liu said. "The results showed that there were no problems with the test stand. In the past we have used traditional finite element analysis software to model test stands. The integrated approach saves a considerable amount of time and also provides more accurate results because it does a better job of modeling convective heat transfer."
Liu concluded that the stress levels of the heater plate were within acceptable levels. The results of the CFD analysis were also used to develop the control algorithm for the test stand.
"Before we started using CFD, we were unable to evaluate the thermal conditions accurately within the package until we had built and tested the prototype," Liu said. "More recently, we have been able to predict junction temperatures accurately long before parts were available for testing. In this application we took a further step forward by using stand-alone finite element software to analyze mechanical stresses on our test stand. We saved a considerable amount of time by using software that tightly integrates thermal and mechanical stress analysis. The software reduces the modeling time by providing a wide range of built-in modeling options designed specifically for modeling electronic components. Identifying and fixing a thermal issue prior to developing prototypes saved us time that would have otherwise been spent troubleshooting and fixing the problem and re-running the physical tests. The result is that we reduced engineering costs and were able to meet our delivery schedule without incurring any additional expense."

Freshman Seminars
Freshman Seminars: The Examined Life
"The unexamined life is not worth living."
-Socrates in Plato's Apology
The freshman seminars introduce the search for meaning by examining the life of the individual, or what we sometimes call the "self."
What are the key influences on a person's development? How does "the self" interact with a community?
In the first semester, all freshmen take a freshman seminar, each designed around this common theme. Your seminar professor will also serve as your academic advisor, helping you to make wise choices about your course of learning in your first year.
Your freshman seminar will introduce you to a wide range of materials from a variety of academic disciplines. Because the course is a seminar, which emphasizes class participation, you will be expected not just to "absorb" the materials presented but, working with others, to forge connections—to discover links among your own experiences and insights, the experiences and perspectives of other students, and the worlds of meaning you will encounter in assigned texts. To foster intellectual development, you will be given many opportunities to write about what you learn and to share your discoveries, informally through class discussion and formally through class presentations.
All freshman seminars cover the theme "the examined life." But of course life - your life, any life - may be examined from various angles. So each seminar is distinctive in its design or subtheme. The seminar in which you are placed may, for example, have as its special focus the self in relation to social media or music, the quest for truth exemplified by Socrates or other great searchers, the "inner" life in relation to one's "outer" life, the "rites of passage" on life's journey, or the relationship of what we do to who we are.
But whatever seminar you find yourself in when classes begin, certain enduring questions to be explored with others will be the same. The common text for all freshman LAS seminars, Thich Nhat Hanh's Living Buddha, Living Christ, enhances this common intellectual experience for first-year students. As befits the theme "the examined life," the author will invite one and all to be ever "mindful" - mindful about your seminar experience, mindful about your Dominican education, mindful about your life.
Portfolio Development
All freshman will be placed into a Freshman Seminar for Fall 2014. Would you like to enroll in a Freshman Seminar that includes an additional 1-credit course that helps you collect your best work, connect your in-class and out-of class learning, and develop a portfolio that tells others who you are, what you can do, and where you are going? The course would meet one hour each week and is described below.
ID 190 Portfolio Development (1 credit, meets 1 hour per week)
For first-year students seeking to build and maintain a portfolio of their work at Dominican, with particular attention to integrating learning across courses and over time. Students enrolled in the course will reflect on their academic and co-curricular experiences at Dominican, and connect ideas, theories, and methods encountered in multiple courses. At the end of this course, students will have assembled a portfolio of their best work, which may be developed in their subsequent years in college and, ultimately, shared with others (potential employers, graduate admissions committees, etc.).
Freshman Honors Seminars: Thoughts and Passions
Anchored in a reading of Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, the Freshman Honors Seminars explore the complexity of thought as it is impacted by our passions and how passion can be impacted by thought.
This choice of texts reflects the theme of "Thoughts and Passions" which is the first in the sequence of seminar themes, followed in the sophomore year by "Human Being and Citizen," and in the junior year by "Human Being and Natural Being." Seniors read King Lear and Job to explore the themes of "Wisdom and Power." Taken together, these seminars prepare us for the diverse perspectives that influence our lived experiences.
You will be placed into a Freshman Honors Seminar, which is only open to students admitted to the honors program.
These seminars serve as a window into other exciting aspects of the Honors Program, including the opportunity to study with world famous scholars who hold the Lund-Gill Chair, and a chance to work one-to-one on research with your professors in your field of study, the options of honors courses in areas that meet core curriculum requirements, and social and cultural events drawing upon Chicago's best theaters, concerts, and museums.

Imagine you're an accountant: a mild-mannered fellow, you go to work in the AM, don your pleated khakis, put on the tasseled loafers, wear your scientific calculator on your shirt pocket. You take the bus/commuter/what-have-you, do the mandatory stop at D&Ds, root for the Red Sox. After hours, at the flip of a switch you wear a brightly-colored mask, strap on the utility belt and go out jumping over buildings, cape flapping in the wind as you scan the city with your special sensory powers for the sole objective of fighting crime. Flip the switch again, strip the cape, the blazoned chest logo, and voilà, you're a highly skilled sushi-chef. You're deft at skinning razor-thin fish fillets with your super sharp blade that's made for that very purpose; you roll the algae-wrapped rice tubes on that little straw mat before cutting them with exacto-knife precision, 4.8cm in length each. Three identities, three ways to approach the day, three sets of tools to deploy.
Nonsense, right? Bear with me here.
As roadies we tend to be an obsessive bunch. Ask any cyclist and he/she'll gladly tell you in dissertation-detail how many bicycles are in the basement, each with its own quirky set of stories and functions. We have the cross bike, the mountain bike, the city bike with the handlebar basket, the fixie, the winter bike, and on and on. But for this exercise I'd like to stick to the road only and its pavement-oriented praxis. In this study, other bikes do not apply, so let's assume that for a consummate, semi-serious Joe Racer, you have a few road bikes. I firmly believe that most roadies should own an average of three bikes: the A-bike, the B-bike, the C-bike, each instrument carrying its unique set of characteristics, so let's start from the bottom up.
The C-bike:
I don't usually refer to this as a "third bike" or the one I love the least. I mean, how can you pick a favorite? It'd be the same as asking "who's your favorite Jonas brother", or "was Bewitched better with Dick Sargent or Dick York?" That's not the line of questioning here, so please don't make me choose. The C-bike, for many riders, may be the one used most often. After all, it is dragged out as a commuter, or a winter bike, or used to tow the kid's trailer to daycare, to name but a few applications. Understanding that the fit is consistent on all three of them, the standard issues are handling and build. One can have a beater that works just fine and will last a while, has room for fenders, and is ready for the occasional dirt ride if that's what turns you on. But it can't be too nice, or you'll be paranoid should you decide to roll to the bar and lock it to a tree or parking meter, making you all hot and bothered about leaving it outside. It must be built robustly enough to withstand abuse, indoor sweat, crappy pavement, and snow-ravaged roads. My C-Bike, for instance, is a cheapo contraption with ok-but-reliable parts and hefty, 32 spoke wheels for fearless handling: these are all prerequisites to brave the frost-heaved roads, the stuffy basement workouts, and the occasional (but frequent) trip to the bar, lock in hand, thirst in mind.
The B-bike:
Now we're warming up. The B-bike may have enjoyed the status of an A-bike not too long ago. This is the rig you were racing in a recent past, or it may have been the recipient of better parts when you upgraded the main steed. It's still somewhat pretty, well-taken care of but with the mandatory battle scars of past crashes, denouncing its former glory as dutiful soldier. In my view it's the one used the least; it's there in case your A-bike is waiting for warranty parts, or when you travel and don't want to bring your too-heavy beater, or in the rare but freaky instance when you're riding out of the house and the primo-bici suffers a rim-impaling accident (happened to me), breaks a spoke, or suffers any sort of mechanical malaise that'd require you to swap machines in a rush. You run in, grab the B bike and run out, transition-style, the basement as the pit-stop spot for a swift exchange. This bike handles as a racer, has heavy wheels for durability, and will not embarrass you at the local training race or group ride.
The A-Bike:
Oh yeah. You spared no expenses. You fought with your significant other tooth and nail to get this one. It's built just so, makes some of your friends jealous and the competition nervous. When you look at it, it winks back at you, inviting you for a hammer sesh with your buddies. It has intuitive handling, nice parts, and can be described as the de facto bad ass rig of your stable. It fears nothing, it's the A-dog, il capo, the main ticket, you name it. This is the race bike, dialed in so perfectly it knows where you're going and it leads you there, quickly, smoothly and beautifully. It may be a World Tour favorite, or a local builder's jaw-dropping super machine. You love it and you make sure it's perpetually in tip top shape; if a whiter shade of handlebar tape existed, it'd be on; it's so quiet in its stealth, so sharp in its agility and efficiency that it would put a wire-running ninja to shame.
Finally, I'd be remiss not to mention the obligatory set of rules:
- all bikes must be in pret-à-rouler shape.
- No cannibalizing parts.
- Keep them clean. Always.
- Ride the hell out of them, take no prisoners, fire at will.
Now you know your ABC's, stride your steed and ride with me.
