Diners near the bandstand could hear the squeal of the buzz mute being fitted into the bell of the horn. The pudgy little man with the wispy mustache lifted the tarnished trumpet, looked right to the piano player, back to the drummer.

Spring Essence: The Poetry of Hň̂ Xuân HươngHn++ Xun++n Huong--whose name translates as "Spring Essence"--is one of the most important and popular poets in Vietnam. A concubine, she became renowned for her poetic skills, writing subtly risqun++ poems which used double entendre and sexual innuendo as a vehicle for social, religious, and political commentary. "The Unwed Mother" Because I was too easy, this happened. Can you guess the hollow in my heart? Fate did not push out a bud even though the willow grew. He will carry this a hundred years but I must bear the burden now. Never mind the gossip of the world. Don't have it, yet have it ! So simple. The publication ofSpring Essence is a major historical and cultural event. It features a "tri-graphic" presentation of English translations alongside both the modern Vietnamese alphabet and the nearly extinct calligraphicNn++m writing system, the hand-drawn calligraphy in which Hn++ Xun++n Huong originally wrote her poems. It represents the first time that this calligraphy--the carrier of Vietnamese culture for over a thousand years--will be printed using moveable type. From the technology demonstrated in this book scholars worldwide can begin to recover an important part of Vietnam's literary history. Meanwhile, readers of all interests will be fascinated by the poetry of Ho Xuan Huong, and the scholarship of John Balaban. The translator,John Balaban, was twice a National Book Award finalist for his own poetry and is one of the preeminent American authorities on Vietnamese literature. During the war Balaban served as a conscientious objector, working to bring war-injured children better medical care. He later returned to Vietnam to record folk poetry. Like Alan Lomax's pioneering work in American music, Balaban was to first to record Vietnam's oral tradition. This important work led him to the poetry of Hn++ Xun++n Huong. Ngo Than Nhan, a computational linguist from NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematics, has digitized the ancientNn++m calligraphy. Also available by John Balaban |

The drug companies have also spent millions over the past decade to create seemingly independent groups that promote their agenda. Last year, the industry trade group created Citizens for Better Medicare, which has been waging a $50 million advertising campaign against a government-controlled prescription drug benefit. And lobbying records show that drug companies are major backers of Alliance for Better Medicare, which describes itself as ''a coalition of nearly 30 organizations representing seniors, patients, medical researchers and innovators, doctors, hospitals, small businesses and others.''
''We advocate our positions in every way that we can,'' Alan Holmer, president of the trade group, said in an interview. ''We do it directly and we do it indirectly and we seek allies in that effort.''
Mr. Holmer is passionate in his defense of the industry; his two children have cystic fibrosis, an incurable disease, and they have benefited from new medications. But while he is passionate, he is also guarded. He volunteered that the trade group is spending $22 million on advertisements this year, but declined to disclose its support for allies, arguing that industry critics would ''misconstrue, misinterpret and twist'' the information ''to villify America's premier high technology industry.''
But some drug company executives say the industry has not been open enough, hurting their public image.
''As an industry, we bear a great deal of the blame for the public anger aimed our way,'' Lodewijk De Vink, a former chairman of the board of the trade group, said to his colleagues in a speech in 1995. ''To too many people, our industry is like a tall building with no windows. Important, imposing, even inspiring -- but also mysterious, secretive, frightening.''
The Argument
Research Is Put At Heart of Costs
For much of the 1900's, the officials of the ''ethical pharmaceutical companies,'' as they were once called, worried little about the image of their industry. ''The companies dealt exclusively with doctors and pharmacies,'' said John Baruck, a former member of the trade group's board. ''They didn't have to worry about what people thought.''
That began to change in 1984, when Congress passed a bill to promote generic drugs. The trade group for the brand drug makers, then called the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, responded by bringing in new management: Gerald Mossinghoff as president and Robert Allnutt as his deputy. The pair built an image campaign around a single word: ''research.''
Today, that word is at the center of the prescription drug benefits debate. The United States is the last free market for pharmaceuticals; other developed nations control either prices or profits. But the drug companies say price controls in the United States would lead to cutbacks in research.
The argument resonates strongly on Capitol Hill.
''Even the people that talk about the outrageous prices, the people opposed to the industry,'' Mr. Allnutt said, ''they temper their statements by saying we don't want to hurt research.''
The message was so powerful that in 1994, on the advice of a focus group, the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association inserted the word ''research'' into its name, creating a new, if grammatically awkward, moniker: the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA.
Mr. Mossinghoff and Mr. Allnutt also created an ''ally development'' plan, making friends with groups representing patients and doctors, minorities and associations representing businesses. ''As you get further away from people who are hired to say things,' Mr. Allnutt said, ''you have a much more believable spokesman.''
The effort paid ''rich dividends,'' Mr. Mossinghoff said. In 1993 the Clinton administration proposed saving money on Medicaid by restricting coverage of certain medications. The trade group responded by hiring Apco Associates, a Washington public relations firm, to organize its allies into a new group, the Coalition for Equal Access to Medicines. The plan was defeated.
Last year, again with Apco's help, Mr. Holmer assigned the industry trade group's advertising director, Tim Ryan, to pull together allies in the drug benefits debate. The result was Citizens for Better Medicare. Financed mostly by drug makers, the group is run by Mr. Ryan and leases spaces in Apco's Washington office.
Most of the coalition's members are small organizations with a relatively narrow mission; many receive pharmaceutical company contributions. But coalition members say concern for the future of pharmaceutical research, and not money, drives their alliance with the pharmaceutical industry.
''If you mean, 'Does Alan Holmer get on the phone and call me and say, 'Go to Maine,' the answer is no,'' said Carl F. Dixon, executive director of the Kidney Cancer Association, a coalition member. ''I'm more likely to call over there and say, 'What are you doing in Maine?' '' For the trade group, these are valuable relationships, and forging them has taken years of hard work.
Mr. Mossinghoff said: ''It's very labor-intensive. You have to help them with their fund-raising dinners.''
As Mr. Allnutt, who left the trade group in 1995 but still acts as a consultant to it, said, ''You've got to become friends with people, and not everybody wants to be your friend.
The Advocate
From a Jaw Ailment, A Lobbying Force
Elizabeth Helms was just the kind of friend Mr. Allnutt envisioned: an articulate and strong-minded consumer advocate who commanded attention from California's politicians and press.

We did not enter this beautiful building but were taken by its outstanding architecture. The location in the city centre is perfect for those who, like us were more interested in the building itself or for those who wish to view inside.
Very beautiful and impressive church.We didn't go inside,but it is really nice and in the nice part of the town.
The Saint Peter and Paul church is very beautiful. It's worth visiting. Both, the interior and exterior are fascinating. It's placed in the city centre and the view at the church from the main square is great.
this church has amazed me, its old architecture ( I think it's baroque), classy rows in the church, beautiful paintings on the church wall locals call it "freske" and location is right in center of osijek which i find awesome :) regards
Very nice and old city church. It is a biggest church in town.
So... this is Saint Peter and Paul church. People in Osijek call it Cathedral, although it is not. It is nice place to visit because it is in the center of Osijek and everything is close to it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Misophonia, literally "hatred of sound", is a neurological disorder in which negative experiences (anger, flight, hatred, disgust) are triggered by specific sounds.[1] The sounds can be loud or soft.[2] The term was coined by American neuroscientists Pawel Jastreboff and Margaret Jastreboff[3] and is often used interchangeably with the term selective sound sensitivity.[4]
Misophonia has not been classified as a discrete disorder in DSM-5 or ICD-10, but in 2013 three psychiatrists at the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam formulated diagnostic criteria for it based on the largest cohort of misophonia patients so far, and suggested that it be classified as a separate psychiatric disorder.[5]
A 2013 review of the most current neurological studies and fMRI studies of the brain as it relates to the disorder[6] postulates that abnormal or dysfunctional assessment of neural signals occurs in the anterior cingulate cortex and insular cortex. These cortices are also implicated in Tourette Syndrome, and are the hub for processing anger, pain, and sensory information. Other researchers concur that the dysfunction is in central nervous system structures.[7] It has been speculated that the anatomical location may be more central than that involved in hyperacusis.[8]
People who have misophonia are most commonly angered by specific sounds, such as slurping, throat-clearing, people clipping their nails, brushing their teeth, chewing crushed ice, eating, drinking, breathing, sniffing, talking, sneezing, yawning, walking, chewing gum, laughing, snoring, typing on a keyboard, coughing, humming, whistling, singing; saying certain consonants; or repetitive sounds.[9] Sufferers may experience such physical symptoms as sweating, muscle tension, and even quickened heartbeat. Some are also affected by visual stimuli, such as repetitive foot or body movements, fidgeting, or movement they observe out of the corners of their eyes; this has been termed misokinesia, meaning hatred of movement.[5] Intense anxiety and avoidant behavior may develop, which can lead to decreased socialization. Some people feel the compulsion to mimic what they hear or see.[10] Mimicry is an automatic, non-conscious, and social phenomenon. It has a palliative aspect, making the sufferer feel better. The act of mimicry can elicit compassion and empathy, which ameliorates and lessens hostility, competition, and opposition. There is also a biological basis for how mimicry reduces the suffering from a trigger.[6]
The prevalence of misophonia is unknown, but groups of people identifying with the condition suggest it is more common than previously recognized.[10] Among patients with tinnitus, which is prevalent in 45% of the general population,[11] some surveys report prevalence as high as 60%,[10] while prevalence in a 2010 study was measured at 10%.[12] A 2014 study conducted at the University of South Florida found that 20% of the almost 500 participants had misophonia-like symptoms. The participants were undergraduate psychology students and mostly women.[13]
The Dutch study published in 2013[5] of a sample of 42 patients with misophonia found a low incidence of psychiatric disorders, with the exception of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (52.4%).
It has been suggested that there is a connection between misophonia and synesthesia, a neurological condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.[14] The basic problem may be a pathological distortion of connections between various limbic structures and the auditory cortex, causing sound-emotion synesthesia.[15] There are people with both misophonia and synesthesia, and many people with synesthesia have more than one form of synesthesia (there are over 60 reported types).[16]

No problem scallySubmitted by guesty on Wed, 11/28/2007 - 7:59am.
I know people make mistakes, just don't cry to the whole world and expect others to bail you out of it. This is what builds character, make a mistake, learn from it and be a smarter person. I have very little patience for "boo hoo, poor pitiful me. Somebody (government) take care of all my needs & wants."
We do have fun at the party, you seem mad because you are not invited!

Barack Obama is one of those rare politicians who's both intelligent and capable of speaking his mind without caving-in to every imaginable political distraction around him. His latest address – the problem of an ailing General Motors, laying off thousands while producing (mostly) sub-par vehicles with lousy emissions standards. GM's long-standing, and quite valid complaint has been the costs of the very generous health and reitrement packages given to labor. So, says Barack, why not let the government take care of some of the health care costs for GM's workers, and in return, get a promise from GM to invest the savings into better performing vehicles?

Yes! An incredible idea. I just had an orgasm. (Obama-gasm?)
- Anonymous
Great idea? Yeah, just keep taxing me to death to give the government more controll of our country. Where are our forefathers who revolted against Great Britian over this same thing. It is awful funny how they survived without this big government that just keeps getting bigger. How about this, tax me less so that I can afford to put more money toward the health insurance of my choosing. That way I am not being told who(doctor) I can or can not see by the government. Also, that way I do not have to be seen by a low paid government doctor instead of a well paid and very good at his job private doctor. If you needed a lawyer would you want a government appointed lawyer or a private lawyer. Besides that, the government is what got us in this mess to begin with. Lower tarrif rates on imports. Create legislation to send jobs over seas. Create problems so as to create bigger government. Wake up America, we need officials who want to give america back to the people and get the government out of lives. Barack Obama, just another government beurocrat who's solution is to create bigger government.

Why don't we just pour more money down a rathole? What a waste of political momentum.
- Arthur Mnev
We keep pouring money down the drain because in a popular and less uneducated opinion this will provide good for everyone at no expense.
Very few care to analyze where the money will be coming from. Rememeber, the same mentality results in average american family having ~8,000 debt on credit cards. Some stop to think about the debt that needs to be paid, others dont. - Marie
GM is only the beginning here. I always said Obama if elected will destroy this country from within and hes well on his way to doing just that .

KimiFan1 - Unregistered August 13, 2011 8:29 AM Are you kidding? Schumi 17th? I don't agree with this, look at the number of points, ok there is a difference in qualifying but that doesn't really matter - so I get you are not a Schumi fan, but at least be objective. Difference to Rosberg is small (in points), unlike last year. Deserves to be in the top 10. 9 agree 8 disagree
victor - Unregistered August 13, 2011 8:55 AM I see Shuey is still racing because he's committed himself but does not really want to be there hence his occasional loss of concentration and errors 6 agree 2 disagree
Chamby - Unregistered August 13, 2011 10:11 AM I get the feeling Di Resta is gunna be way nearer the top of the list than he should, Sutil hasnt been that bad by comparason.Also anybody know if this is written by the same guy as last years end of season where Hamilton was number 2? 5 agree 0 disagree
kiwibob August 13, 2011 11:49 AM Crash what has MS done to you and Massa as they are in positions 10 and 6 in the championship which i think is a preety good guide and you fail to mention that MS is the best starter bar none this season and also has made up a lot more positions than nico every race i think if he gets the car to suit him he will be again a front runner Reply Report abuse 5 agree 4 disagree
blzbub August 13, 2011 12:24 PM Schumacher has given mercedes their best result in what could quite easily be the worst formula one car he has ever driven, has daniel riccardio 'really' done that much better than tonio, the top ten should be entertaining, is mark webber, who is in a car that has won eight races going to find himself behind this years crash sensation paul di resta, are both mac drivers going to be in the top three, will we at least agree that the real star this year has been 'top rookie' sergio perez Reply Report abuse 2 agree 6 disagree
MattF1 August 13, 2011 1:45 PM Schumi 17th?Is this quite of some sick joke? (It's crash, so it probably is)Schumi has produced some brilliant drives this season, mixed in with some unfortunate luck and the odd uncharacteristic mistake which has ruined a couple of his races.He has unquestionably produced the drive of the season in Canada, and would have finished 2nd in that race had it not been for the artificial help of DRS. He deserves to be in the top 6 at the very least. Reply Report abuse 7 agree 5 disagree
Rob01 - Unregistered August 13, 2011 2:03 PM Give me a break Schumi boys. He has produced more contact than even Lewis. And without any results. His lucky rain finish in Canada was just that. Lucky. And he himself says he is the problem. You can't keep rating him on his PAST. 8 agree 9 disagree
mario - Unregistered August 13, 2011 2:40 PM Sutil should be ranked above Di resta, but then again a lot of journalists are too patriotic. 7 agree 3 disagree
dpodloch - Unregistered August 13, 2011 3:42 PM Lots of awkward positions for some of the drivers. I dont see how Ricciardo is FAR better ranked than Liuzzi although he is down in qualifying and usually ends up behind in races more often than not. Adrian Sutil has also been more impressive than you make him seem. He hasnt lit the world on fire but he is still had plenty of good drives. I am puzzled with your placement of Schumacher and Massa. They may not have been spectacular but definitively better than Heidfeld. Nick has had the worst qualifying pace I have seen in a long time. Sure he makes up for it in races on occasions but he has had some very poor and avoidable mistakes. I wouldnt say Micheal should be top ten but surely not 17th. 5 agree 2 disagree
Its True - Unregistered August 13, 2011 4:52 PM So Diresta, scoring on only 3 occasions, one of which was only after both Saubers got DSQed, is gonna be top 10? Sutil has more than twice the points he has! how can.... oh why do I bother, Brits are always biased about their own drivers...... 8 agree 2 disagree

So since this is honestly just a cosmetic change the only way I see it working is by putting someone that is in a best of 3 or 5 series with others in the same series. If you are in one of these series you are most Lilkely trying to take the game seriously and win, however if it matches you with someone not in a series of their own they are far less likely to take the game seriously and try to win which is one of the problems of the current system (people not taking games seriously and not trying to their full potential to win). Honestly if it does no happen like this or in some way similar this whole league thing is pretty non progressive for league of legends and on the same note purely cosmetic which I've been reading on this forum a lot of people are not too happy with. Pulling in teammates that are not in a similar series of progression (3/5 or 2/3) is just terrible idea it will cause more problems than it will solve. I hope y'all have thought about this riot. I've never posted a comment on here before but felt the need to because I can already see the rage forums now being worse than before

Damn hello there Call Of Duty league play haha. This is exactly like CoD! way better for people who lose because of bad/troll teammates
I still think we need some kind of ranked "unskilled warning", something that would work like a report but not really serious for your account, but for your ranked games. Maybe something like: every 5 warnings you receive you lose 10 ELO, maybe even increase the ELO you lose when you get too many warnings. You should also lose some warnings every day, so let's say you received 100 warnings after 100-days you will have zero warnings, so you can come "clean". Might teach people some respect.
cliff notes version please
Hmm, what about placing people who are in their best of 3 or best of 5 matches with other people in the best of 5 and best of 3 matches. That way, people will be more committed to those games. Each player will try his hardest and therefore there will be less leaving/trolling because it takes forever to get back to the best of 5/3.

Today I started feeding her during the walk
My puppy (smart little *** ) didn't want to walk the full block when we went out for a walk. She would play dead half the time we went outside (fall over on her side and not move what so ever).
Today i decided not to feed her until the time for walk and fed her during the walk. It was magic! She loved the walk and even practiced coming to me when I called her name (with all the distractions on the road).

I've never tried it but read and heard many positive things about feeding a pup it's daily allotment of food as treats via the human hand.....perhaps you just gave another ringing endorsement to this particular approach.

Not a fan of "bribing" my dog in training myself. I expect full compliance regardless of whither or not they feel like eating.
Rocky never got "treats" for not biting the crap out of someone! "Because I say so" works for me! Behaviourist have told me that's not how you train dogs. Works for me and my dogs and a few rescues but what do I know. |

Talking about about an itty bitty baby puppy here - let's give the dog and owner a bit of leeway.
And I used to be of the same mindset - dog should just listen to me because. Period. Until I got Keeta, and everything with her was a battle of wills. It was exhausting, and i was NOT having fun. So I decided to humble myself, admit that there was a lot about dogs I didn't know, and enrolled in positive, reward based obedience classes - WOW! What a mind changer! I learned so much, it completely turned Keeta's mindset around, instead of fighting me, she because my partner, and our relationship changed to what I wanted it to be. Rewards are for training - you phase them out as the dog matures, but by then, their brain has made the connection that listening and obeying is fun and rewarding!

I'd like to point out that treats aren't necessarily food. A treat to your dog can be anything from your affection/attention, to a scratch on the ears, to a game of fetch. I have a hard time believing you never bribe your dog.
I will admit it, I shamelessly bribe my dogs. |

Country/Date of Origin: Great Britain/1500s
An ancient breed of herding dog, the Scotch Collie shares a common heritage with the Border Collie. In the 1860s the Scotch Collie caught the eye of people interested in the beauty of the rough variety and bred it to increase body size and the thickness of the coat. Coincidentally, there was an increased popularity of the larger, slower English sheep (better wool) over the nimble, cunning Highland sheep. Now the bigger, slower Collie could compete for the shepherd's favor and it began to find its way back into the fields. With the patronage of Queen Victoria, the Collie became the vogue in the 1880's. And American royalty in the form of J.P. Morgan championed the breed across the Atlantic as well. In 1885 Collies were admitted into the American Kennel Club and great specimens were fetching more than the average man earned in ten years. There are two varieties of the Collie. Everything that can be said about the rough coated Collie can be said about the smooth variety except for coat. It has been a Cinderella to its more glamorous rough sibling except where it counts - in working situations. The Smooth Collie has shone as a military dog in the two World Wars, as a guide for the blind and as a search and rescue dog.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN insider: Mike McCoy is ready to be a head coach
The Arizona Cardinals may have missed out on Andy Reid, but that does not mean their coaching search will end in disappointment.
The team, which has already interviewed defensive coordinator Ray Horton and reached out to Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley, has an interview scheduled Saturday with Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy.
McCoy, ESPN NFL insider John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf, is ready to be a head coach.
"He's the hottest of all the assistant coaches, I don't think there's any doubt about that," he said.
McCoy, 50, was a finalist for the Miami job last offseason. He has been with the Broncos for four seasons after spending the previous nine on the Carolina Panthers staff. But it's his work with the Broncos that has garnered him the most attention.
Having led offenses run by Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning -- quarterbacks who could not be more different -- to the playoffs, McCoy appears to have a knack for getting the most out of the talent he has to work with.
"First he works with Peyton Manning this year and does very well, they're the number one seed," Clayton said. "He coached Tim Tebow. Now when he coached Tim Tebow he would call a play and have no idea how it was going to be executed, not a clue. But somehow, someway the plays that he called worked, it got them to the playoffs and beat Pittsburgh.
"He not only deserves a head coaching job, but also too, I think, probably the Nobel Prize."

SHEPHERDSVILLE -- As the county court system works through cases to decrease the number of open charges, the Bullitt County Grand Jury is handing down what is on track to be another record year.
Those indicted recently include:
*Dallas Ashbaugh Jr. - indicted for manufacturing methamphetamine and being a persistent felony offender.
According to the indictment, Ashbaugh was allegedly in possession of the chemicals and equipment needed to manufacture methamphetamine on March 16, 2009.
The charge is a Class A felony punishable by 20 years to life in prison.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Two men have been charged with a May break-in at a local pharmacy.
Barry Joe Kerr, 34, of New Albany, Ind., and Jacob Robinson have been charged with allegedly breaking into the Medica Pharmacy in Shepherdsville on May 2, 2009.
They were each indicted for complicity to burglary and complicity to theft of a controlled substance over $300.
The most serious charge is a Class C felony punishable by 5-10 years in prison.
However, Kerr was also indicted for being a persistent felony offender.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Two pools are open and a third one may be less than two weeks away from being operational.
Facing renovations required to the federal Virginia Graeme Baker act, the swimming pools at Maryville and Mount Washington opened several weeks late.
Now, with the financial assistance of Shepherdsville, the Bullitt Central pool could be open in a couple of weeks.
The Shepherdsville City Council voted Monday evening to spend $2,442.86 on materials needed. The city will also provide some equipment and manpower to install the new safer drain system.
MOUNT WASHINGTON -- The Bullitt County Sheriff's Department is working to determine if speed and alcohol contributed to a tragic Wednesday evening accident that left one local man dead.
Joshua Michael Bartley, 22, of Mount Washington, was killed after the vehicle he was riding in left the roadway and flipped several times, Bullitt County Sheriff's Dept. Chief Deputy Danny Thompson said.
Thompson said Heather Michelle Woloch, 19, of Shepherdsville was traveling south on Bardstown Road near Oakbrooke Drive when she lost control of her 2001 Dodge Stratus and crashed.
LEBANON JUNCTION — Lebanon Junction Police Chief Paul Hornung said the city is dealing with a loitering problem late at night and he thinks changing the current curfew could help alleviate it.
Hornung shared his concerns with city council members at the July meeting.
BARDSTOWN - After a weekend off, The roar of engines returns as track promoters David and Anita Ferrell will present another evening of "Saturday Night Showtime" on Saturday July 25 and the Modified division will take centerstage in the 9th Annual Bluegrass Rumble, paying $1,500 to win for the Battle of the Bluegrass Modified Series.
The first Saturday of the medication dropoff saw 22 people bring old pills to a disposal site.
Over 8,750 pills were collected, as well as many other old and unneeded medications.
The final pill dropoff will be on Saturday, July 25, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. behind the courthouse.
Pill drop-off planned for July 18, 25
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Kenny Hardin could get one detective busy 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the fastest growing drug problem in the county - prescription pills.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The start of a new school year can be exciting, like the beginning of a football season.
When you're beginning Kindergarten the thrill and excitement could hardly be contained, though nerves could come into play for such young students.
To ease the transition and focus on the excitement, Bullitt County Public Schools Family Resource Centers are presenting the second annual Kindergarten Kickoff, scheduled Thursday, July 23, 4-7 p.m., at the Paroquet Springs Conference Centre.
Over the past week, graduates from the four Bullitt County high schools have been honored.
Many have stood as their accomplishments were recognized. There was academic achievement. Athletic skill was honored. And those who excelled in extracurricular activities were honored.
But maybe three graduates accomplished one of the greatest achievements in the Class of 2009.
I would add my special salute to Hanna Scott and Jacob Corley, both of North Bullitt, and Ericka Nutt of Bullitt East.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The summer All-Star baseball and softball circuits will shift into high gear this week with a flurry of games in a number of age groups.
While the summer time is a slow sports time with the high school teams taking a break, the next two weeks are the busiest of the middle summer time for the Sports Editor. Bullitt County has three strong summer baseball/softball leagues with the Blue Lick Optimist League, the Mount Washington Baseball and Softball League and the Bullitt County Parks and Recreation Leagues.

Stamina InMotion II Treadmill
Great product
This is a really good treadmill for the price. It is manual, but works just as well as those that are not. A little time consuming getting the belt to adjust to stay in the middle of the tract, but after that, works great!
January 31, 2015
Easy: the purchase, the assembly, the function
arrived sooner than expected...assembly is easy....and, it works! Pretty good dollar value.
January 5, 2015
Stamina InMotion ll Treadmill.
Easy to set up, if you work at getting everything aligned. Wonderful to fold up and put up against the wall when your done. YOU do all the work, non electric. I usually walk about 6 miles a day, takes 2 hours, on my new Stamina 1 hour=310 calories burned.
Just wish I could lay it flat, it is built so your always walking up hill. Here in the desert you can not go out to walk when it's 106F,so this does the trick.

text: 000 FXUS66 KOTX 022343 AFDOTX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Spokane WA 343 PM PST MON MAR 2 2015 .SYNOPSIS... A weather system will pass through this evening, with potential for scattered snow showers along with breezy conditions across much of the region. The snow shower threat and winds abate overnight into Tuesday. Much colder air moves in behind this system, with temperatures well below average for the middle of the week. A dry period, with moderating temperature will follow for the end of the week. && .DISCUSSION... Tonight and Tuesday: The snow shower threat will dissipate across the Inland NW tonight on a breezy north wind, leading to a drier and colder Tuesday. This evening a mid-level shortwave is tracking across the eastern third of WA and north ID; it is projected to sag toward central and southern ID late this evening into the overnight. As that shortwave tracks by us it is accompanied by a pool of colder 500mb temperatures, in the -30 to -35 C range. This leads to some unstable lapse rates and so the accompanying potential for convective showers. Furthermore, a deformation axis/surface trough lingers across the eastern third of WA through the night, though it does lose some of its resolution overnight. All of this means a threat of scattered to locally numerous snow showers through, especially early this evening, between 00-04Z (4 to 8 PM), before the drier northerly flow take hold and the precipitation threat begins to wind down. The deformation axis/trough itself should help to focus those showers and right now that been somewhat consistently across northeast mountain and Spokane/C`dA area. The convective nature of the system makes pinning down the precise snow accumulations difficult in the valleys. Values could range from nothing or a trace to as much as 1 inch or so under the heaviest bands. The road and air temperatures, however, should keep the snow from sticking to the roads and other surfaces initially. However later this evening and overnight any precipitation that falls would have every opportunity to freeze on surface. How much of an impact that would have later this evening and for the Tuesday morning commute is less certain, because areas that would see little to no accumulation may have no problems but if you happen to be that spot that gets more precipitation you be more prone to slick spots. As for the mountains, snow amounts could be in the 1 to 3 inch range, when all is said and done for the entire system, with isolated higher amounts. Late this evening and overnight, the main shower threat is expected to shift toward the Central Panhandle and Camas Prairie, and possibly the Blues. A secondary threat will linger within the northeastern mountains, with a weak secondary wave dropping by and the weakening deformation axis in the region. Tuesday looks mainly dry and partly cloudy to clear. Winds will be an issue this evening with the shortwave pushing in coupling with a tightening pressure gradients. The strongest winds are expected through the Okanogan Valley, where some channeling is expected. However speeds will also be up across the remainder of eastern WA and the north ID valleys. On average we are looking for 10 to 20 mph, with gusts to 30 mph. However in the Okanogan Valley speeds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph are possible. Going into the overnight and Tuesday the gradients begin to slacken and the atmosphere decouples, so overall speeds should begin to abate. Temperatures tonight are expected to drop below normal thanks to the push of colder, drier air from the north. Values could be some 10 or so degrees below average. This carries into Tuesday afternoon with highs expected to remain below normal by 5 to 10 degrees. /J. Cote` Tuesday night through Monday: A ridge of high pressure will be the dominate weather feature through the period delivering mostly dry conditions and a gradual warming trend. The only exception is within the Friday time-frame. Models suggest the ridge will flatten enough allowing a weak disturbance to skirt the International Border before dropping southeast down the MT/ID border. The ECMWF is an outlier at this time indicating the potential for a tenth or so of liquid while the GFS/Canadian/Ensemble Means only bring through trace amounts of liquid. Needless to say, confidence is low regarding this feature and precipitation chances but this looks to be the only chance for precipitation through Monday. Temperatures will start off cool with 850mb temperatures on the order of -5C but warm near 3-8C by the weekend. This will equate to warming temperatures each day with temperatures expected to warm well above normal by the weekend. There are signs in the extended models that a large scale pattern change will be possible which features the reversal of the Eastern US trough and Western Ridge. There are some timing differences but looks to occur around mid to late next week. Climate Prediction Center looks to favor this change as well with the 8-14 day outlook predicting the potential for warmer and wetter conditions on the West Coast... conducive of the incoming trof and mild/wetter southwest flow. /sb && .AVIATION... 00Z TAFS: A shortwave will drop south across the east WA/north ID between 00-06Z, with scattered snow showers. With unstable lapses accompanying these some of these could be locally heavy, producing brief reductions to MVFR conditions, especially around GEG/SFF/COE. They will be more isolated toward PUW/LWS. The threat will wane after 03-04Z over most locations, but could some potential may linger through 08Z. EAT/MWH will mainly dry, with only the off chance of a flurry. Otherwise look for VFR conditions here. Expect breezy conditions around 15 to 25kts, with gusts to 30 around MWH. Other breezy conditions are expected at EAT, as well as GEG to COE with the incoming shortwave. However speeds will be a bit less, at 10 to 20kts. Speeds in general will abate after 08-11Z. /J.

Camden Property Trust Named One Of Fortune Magazine's "100 Best Companies To Work For"
Camden Property Trust (NYSE:CPT) announced today that it has been ranked #11 on FORTUNE Magazine's 17th annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" list. This marks the seventh consecutive year that Camden has been included on FORTUNE's list. The full list and related stories will appear in the February 3, 2014 issue of FORTUNE and can be accessed online now at www.fortune.com/bestcompanies.
"We are honored to be recognized for the seventh consecutive year as one of the best workplaces in America," said Keith Oden, President of Camden Property Trust. "Our inclusion on this list is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of our 1,800 Camden associates." To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the Institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management's credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third of the scoring is based on the company's responses to the Institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, internal communications, training, recognition programs and diversity efforts.
Camden Property Trust, an S&P 400 Company, is a real estate company engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, management and disposition of multifamily apartment communities. Camden owns interests in and operates 170 properties containing 59,899 apartment homes across the United States. Upon completion of 12 properties under development, the Company's portfolio will increase to 63,543 apartment homes in 182 properties.
In addition to historical information, this press release contains forward-looking statements under the federal securities law. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Camden operates, management's beliefs, and assumptions made by management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict.

Apple Moves to Ban More Samsung Devices in U.S.; Samsung "Mimicry" Questioned in South Korea

Apple is looking to pile on with a Galaxy S III ban, despite that phone not being involved in the case.
South Korean analyst: Samsung "may lack in innovation, but right now, no one can beat Samsung in playing catch-up"
The crippling U.S. patent court
$1.05B USD copyright infringement verdict
against the
world's largest smartphone maker
, Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
), is far from over.
I. Ban 'Em All
Apple, Inc. (
) is pushing the San Jose, Calif.
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
ban all currently on-sale products
that were found to infringe in the case
another couple products not listed in the case, which include Samsung's flagship
Galaxy S III smartphone
Apple previously tried to ban the Galaxy S III,
but failed
I predicted
it would now try to lump in such a ban on the wings of its massive victory, and indeed it did.
If Apple's request is granted, Samsung would essentially be banned from selling any smartphone other than its Focus 2 Windows Phone and its non-Android quasi-smartphones.
In Samsung's home nation of South Korea, shock is in the air. Days before the U.S. verdict a Korean court had ruled that
both companies had infringed on each others' work
. That verdict stood in stark contrast to the American jurors, who decided that Samsung stole a plethora of technologies and designs from Apple, and that Apple stole nothing from Samsung.
Questions of bias persist -- at least one of the jurors had a family member
who held a large quantity of Apple stock
, according to past reports -- but South Korean analysts fear that there may be a hint of truth in the ruling. They fear that perhaps their culture relies a bit too much on imitation when looking to conquer a new field. But many of the critics also express feelings of pride in the company. Even if Apple does "kick it out" of the U.S. market, what Samsung did -- beating Apple in an unregulated market battle -- was impressive.
Comments James Song, KDB Daewoo Securities' Samsung-centric analyst, in
an interview
The New York Times
, "The ruling makes us reconsider the brand value of Samsung because it depicts Samsung as a copycat. But a copycat or not, what Samsung has done with its smartphones was a brilliant move. Look what has happened to companies like Nokia, Motorola and BlackBerry, which didn't do as Samsung did. Samsung may lack in innovation, but right now, no one can beat Samsung in playing catch-up."
Indeed -- outside of Samsung, nearly ever phonemaker that isn't named "Apple" is in bad financial trouble. Google Inc.'s (
) Motorola and Taiwan's HTC Corp. (
) are
disappointing earnings and shrinking market share. Research in Motion, Ltd. (
) is
creeping ever closer
to a breakup liquidation/fire sale. And Nokia Oyj. (
) is
requiring deep financial support
from Microsoft Corp. (
) to stay afloat.
JoongAng Ilbo
, a local newspaper, takes a more cynical bent, commenting in an editorial, "Copying and clever upgrading are no longer viable. Samsung must reinvent itself as a first-mover, despite the huge risks involved in acting as a pioneer, if it hopes to beat the competition."
II. Can Samsung Stay Ahead of Apple?
South Korean analysts acknowledge that Samsung's phones are "similar" to Apple's and that it arrived cautiously to the smartphone market, versus some other early adopters, such as RIM and Nokia, who plunged in headfirst. But they point out that for the similarities, Samsung established a unique look for its products, made them cheaper than Apple's, and endowed them with arguably superior hardware.
The company's expertise in display and chip-making gave it a key advantage, when it eventually did elect for a full-on smartphone push.
Anthony Michell, author of "Samsung Electronics and the Struggle for Leadership of the Electronics Industry", tells
The NYT
, "Koreans do things quicker than almost anyone. Samsung Electronics and the Struggle for Leadership of the Electronics Industry. This allows them to change models, go from design to production faster than anyone at the present time. Korean companies continually set themselves challenges, like the challenge to overtake Sony in terms of brand value in the past."
Some say its legacy of rapid adaptation will allow it to survive Apple's patent assault.
Some say despite the pending bans, Samsung may be able to stay ahead of Apple.

Even with Apple seeking to ban all its U.S. Android smartphone sales, Samsung is racing to modify its operating system to remove features -- such as "rubber-band" graphical flourishes that the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
granted Apple exclusive rights to animate
in a mobile user interface setting.
If Samsung is able to remove the features, the ban could be reduced from months to days or weeks.
Some analysts are convinced that Apple will actually fall farther behind Samsung in U.S. sales in Q3, despite the damage to its image and potential bans. Comments Kevin Lee, an analyst at Korea Investment and Securities, "The patent ruling and Samsung's copycat image will have a negative impact on Samsung's sales of cellphones and other products. But Samsung will further widen the gap with Apple in the third quarter, though not as much as expected before the ruling."
And, of course, Samsung also
has an appeal
of Apple's court win in the U.S. federal court pipeline too -- so it potentially could undo or mar Apple's greatest legal triumph somewhere in the near future.

RE: Good luck Apple...
"But that's just not true is it. Developers don't follow market share, they follow money, market share is only of interest to developers if it translates into greater sales and greater revenues. Android's greater market share has not translated in to greater revenues for developers. "
Of course they follow the money. What part of this are you not getting, or are you just being obtuse on purpose? From 2007 to 2011, Apple had an advantage. They were ahead of the competition in function and sales. The developer support was there and built up around it. Android last year started to outsell iPhone. Over the next few years what you will see is more and more development favoring Android. Why? Money. At some point as the sales gap grows, as a developer, you will make more $ selling 10 million copies on Android vs. 1 million on IOS. Not the past Tony, nor the present. The future. I think you see this as plainly as the next guy you just arent ready to admit it.
Let me put it this way so your skewed mind can understand (or at least argue the same point).
Android started off behind in features and then caught up and passed Apple. Android started off behind in hardware and then caught up and passed Apple. Android started off behind in sales and then caught up and passed Apple. Over the next few years you will see that Android started off behind in apps/dev support and then caught up and passed Apple. It's not even a large gap to make up. It's just the last little bit of advantage teh iPhone has and its going buh bye.
Have fun clinging to that platform though. I hope it brings you joy.

For many of us living in cities or away from home for the first time, space comes at a premium and living in small spaces is often the norm. If at first glance, you find yourself worried that the design potential is dismal for your studio apartment or new dorm room, don't let it get you down. We think that it's not the size of the space that matters; it's how you choose to fill it. When you use a bit of creative thinking to make the most of what you have, the results can be stunning!

Doug Johnson has written a great article Seven Most Critical Challenges That Face Our Profession. He suggests seven areas where every library media specialist can and should take action.
They include, Remaining experts in helping others make meaning out of technology, Keeping our core values, Staying connected and more.
\"A person recently commented to me that one must be mad to go into school librarianship. He's right, of course, on a number of levels. You have to mad (passionate) for stories, computers, and especially work with kids.\"
UW-Milwaukee Student writes \"This happens in a public school and people are worried about pornography on the internet at the library?
jsonline.com Story On a 3rd-grade class who thought they were watching a video about dinosaurs w an X-rated tape inadvertently left in the VCR by a janitor. \"
It\'s funny because it happened to someone else.
Bob Cox sent along this from The Columbus Dispatch. A rather Sad Story on some empty libraries.
Last summer librarians in 132 Columbus schools weeded 225,000 old books. The titles included \"Seven Fun Disco Outfits You Can Make?\", I can\'t believe they got rid of that one, disco will never die!
But anywhoo... Now the shelves sit empty until they get the money for new books, which they say is on the way.
\"To be honest with you, we have not had money for libraries since the 1980s,\'\' said Brenda Gonzalez, supervisor of instructional information services for Columbus schools.\"
Collen Kelly sent in This One on big troubles at school libraries in Ontario. One-third of elementary school libraries in Ontario now report being open only part-time hours! They go so far as to say \"The cuts have also left teacher-librarians wondering if they\'re a dying breed.\"
``Unless the public is made aware of what we do, what the role of a teacher-librarian is and how desperately important it is to have teacher-librarians to work with other teachers, I\'m afraid we are going to become like dinosaurs and disappear.\'\'
There\'s a storyhere, about school libraries in California that have been forced into the hall, the auditorium, and other odd places. They say due to booming enrollment and state-mandated class-size reduction, there is just no room for the library any more. They go so far as to say \"The traditional school library is obsolete in Simi Valley\"! The article says \"Library-media center facilities at every one of the district\'s 20 elementary campuses fail to meet the state recommendation of 2,250 square feet for every 650 students.\" This is in Simi Valley, CA.
Is this common else where? It\'s the first I\'ve heard of it.
This is a nifty site I just ran across. From Now On The Educational Technology Journal, has a Story on how the net is changing education, and how not to get sucked into the hype.
\"Before committing huge sums to new enterprises, schools need to consider the likelihood of winning a major return on the investment. Those leading schools must protect them from powerpointlessness, edutainment and infotainment.\",
I was floored after reading the first two paragraphs of this article from The Tennessean. Apparently, some schools, under law, don\'t have to have school librarians. \"At the Dodson Branch Elementary School in Jackson County, pupils can surf the World Wide Web but can\'t go to a school librarian to check out a library book.
The school does not have a full-fledged library, nor a librarian, and it\'s not alone. In Tennessee, elementary schools with fewer than 400 students are not required to hire librarians or acquire as many books for students.\"
Donna Sent along this Story from Tech Source on The Impact of Computers on Schools. It talks about Donald Tapscot\'s \"Growing Up Digital: The Rise of the Net Generation\" and \"Failure to Connect: How Computers Affect Our Children's Minds—for Better and Worse\" by Jane Healy. Two books that took 2 very different looks at the computer and it\'s affects on schools.
\"The thrill of using technology in the classroom is compelling. However, it must be tempered by concern for productive use and an awareness of the possible negative effects of computers on young learners. Keeping students' physical well-being in mind, teachers must carefully arrange computers in the classroom (taking ergonomics into account) and set time limits for computer use. An informed, balanced approach to technology infusion is key, and Tapscott and Healy\'s books are a must-read for all willing to reengineer themselves for 21st-century education.\"
The American School Board Journal has a nice Story on the different ways school libraries are changing to better meet the needs of their students.
\"I used to spend so much time wandering from table to table, policing kids and telling them to hush or leave,\" says a middle-school librarian in Vermont. \"Now I sit down with the kids and talk with them about books they\'re reading or reports they\'re writing. It\'s made a world of difference — for them and for me.\"
From member station WHYY, Martin Wells reports Philadelphia schools are making an effort to get rid of library books that are tattered, inappropriate, or just plain wrong. Some decades old books talk about how man may one day land on the moon, another wrongly says that South African leader Nelson Mandela was executed.
