Theory better than practice
In theory, Town Meeting is a classic example of democracy in action. In practice, it leaves much to be desired. Many community members cannot afford to take an entire day off; a choice between exercising ones rights and putting food on the table is hardly balanced.
Why is Town Meeting Day NOT a state holiday? When agenda items are not on the ballot, even those folks who try to participate by voting are denied the right to participate in decisions which may affect them. This is neither democratic nor fair.
If town meetings are dominated by the same folks year after year because others cannot afford to spend a day, or are not allowed to do so by their employers, this is not really democracy.

Stun guns need restraint
The research regarding Tasers, including the manufacturers own publications, caution that this weapon not be used on vulnerable populations, unless no other means are available to control a grave danger. The many categories of vulnerable populations include: serious mental illness or cognitive disorders; pregnancy; medical problems including cardiac and pulmonary conditions, pacemakers, epileptic seizures and sickle cell; drug or alcohol intoxication; and severe agitation, as well as those who are deaf, hard of hearing or slight of build. Nor should a Taser be shot at the chest. Yet, the research further shows that it is precisely at members of these vulnerable populations that Tasers are usually fired.
When the police seek to acquire this weapon, they reassure us with Trust us, well be well trained and very careful. But after they use it against a vulnerable individual, they take cover with, Oops, sorry, but how could we know? This oops defense is what the Attorney General and State Police are presently using to explain the death last year of Macadam Mason, an unarmed Thetford man who died immediately after he was tased. Mason was a member of the vulnerable populations in not one but several ways: He was in the throes of a severe mental health crisis and was threatening suicide. He had a history of epileptic seizures and had experienced seizures just the day before he was shot. He was also thin, and was shot in the chest.
Law enforcement cant have it both ways, and they lose the public trust in trying. To the extent we permit the police to carry this weapon, Tasers should only be deployed under the same standards as a firearm, which is to say, when there exists an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury. That way, they will only be used when there is truly no other public safety choice. Under such a standard, Macadam Mason would be alive today.
Tasers are too dangerous a weapon for public relations games. State law and police policies should allow Taser deployment only when no less-lethal weapon will meet and prevent a grave danger. That restraint on the use of Tasers means they will only save lives, not unnecessarily take them.

Complete your look today with the Dansko Professional Black Oiled Women's Leather Shoes. These matte black clogs have been designed to support feet, knees, hips and the lower back with their superior cushioning and contoured sole. Dansko's Professional line is a favorite among medical professions, designed to make your long days easier to stand.
Dansko Professional Black Oiled Women's Leather Shoe Features:
Dansko Professional's stapled outsole has been awarded the Seal of Acceptance from the APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association) and has been verified by SATRA in the United Kingdom and Precision Testing Laboratories in Nashville, Tennessee.
I bought these shoes to wear to work because I stand on my feet for 8 hrs a day. They are very attractive and I like that I can dress them up if needed. The only down fall- they take some time to get used to them if you've never worn anything like this before. The arches are very high as well (im used to wearing flat shoes) and they have a very thick sole. They take sometime to get used to them but overall they are great. And great price too!!
When working as a bartender I wore these shoes daily, with no foot problems. After completing my education and enetering the classroom to teach pre school, I found my feet hurting daily!! I went back to wearing my Dansko clogs and all pain has gone away!! I love these shoes!! You can wear them with jeans, khakis and even capris, in a casual setting.
I wear this product with casual clothes. They are a little heavier than expected and so I can't wear them to work for the intended purpose.
These are great shoes! They look great with jeans and are comfortable enough to wear to work. I stand all day in the medical field, and these work great.

The Ubuntu release cycle really sickens me.
Every 6 months the devs hope and pray that right kernel, X stuff, Mesa, gcc etc land in time.
It barely missed the cutoff? There's still a lot of unfixable bugs that can't be patched through backports? Oh well, there's always next release.
Why not just release when you have something worth releasing? No need for rolling if you follow Fedora's model.
Arbitrary dates and have no place in development when you are pulling in code from hundreds of projects.

Big Lots Expands Grocery Selection To Compete With Dollar Stores
Big Lots, the popular closeout store chain, is undergoing a makeover in its groceries department. The retailer is in the midst of expanding its grocery aisles throughout its 1496 stores nationwide. This change comes as the Ohio-based company notes that another Ohio favorite chain, Kroger, has increased its sales significantly. In an attempt to woo middle-class consumers away from Kroger and other grocery chains, Big Lots has decided to add more perishables and non-perishables. Soon consumers will be able to purchase low-priced quinoa, chips, soda, and even ice cream from the discount retailer.

Why Employee Engagement Still Matters In The Retail Sector
People are migrating away from the traditional brick and mortar retail stores in the 21st century, preferring to shop online and using their mobile devices rather than visit physical storefronts. This is most prevalent in the specialty hard goods. However, shoppers still enjoy the social and entertainment aspects that retail provides, as well as with soft goods shoppers tend to still want to touch and size in person. As the percentage of online purchases continues to grow beyond recent 10% figures, in the stores we are seeing a shift in labor.
5 Key Trends Currently Afoot In Employee Recognition
Continued employee engagement is one of the keys to human capital management for HR leaders at large corporations. When people work for big businesses, they sometimes find themselves too caught up in the rigmarole of their daily operations, and they lose sight of their employers' vision and their own individual career goals.
The Retail Paradox: Save Money, Or Spend It On Customer Service?
It's commonplace for companies to look to improve their workforce management strategies in an effort to strengthen their customer service initiatives – especially in the retail sector. Good service is the primary reason that successful merchants complete sales, and in a competitive sales environment, businesses seek to differentiate themselves from their competitors by providing superior consumer care.
4 Ways HR Is Becoming Data-Conscious In Managing Human Capital
Employers everywhere, large and small, are looking to do more with business intelligence to measure the performance of their workers. Doing so can make them more efficient about who they hire, how they put people to work and what strategies they use for employee retention.
What Does The Future Hold For HR Technology?
As technology rapidly improves across the world, more business are looking to upgrade the solutions they use on a daily basis. Among other developments, this means they want to use more cloud computing solutions for storing their data, mobile devices for accessing it on the go and data analysis tools for improving their outlook on business intelligence.
Pricing And Efficiency — Key To This Grocer's Bottom Line
Consistent pricing is key to customer satisfaction and sales, and controlling this efficiently can be a real challenge for grocers like Geissler's, who stock thousands of SKUs.

I love gnome 3 and gnome shell. I've been using the 3.2 beta on both my laptops and I'm normally a kde user.
Yes it lacks customisations but there's actually very little I want to change. The notification system could be refined a little and I don't like the pop up system tray at all (I'd like to fix it so its only visible when on the activities overview) but other than that gnome-shell does the job I want, in an elegant, fast and as hassle free way.
The most important things for a gui to do is to allow me to find and open apps fast, and to switch between, and view comfortably the apps that are open. Gnome-shell does this.
With KDE I'd launch apps by hitting 'ctrl+f1' to open menu then begin typing to bring up the app and hit 'enter' to lunch it. Its almost the same in gnome-shell except I hit the super key. Unitys the same but there's other issues I have with unity that prevents me currently favouring it. I don't miss the old style gnome menu, I don't miss the minimize button and I don't miss kde widgets..... well folder view would be nice.

Brewers, Cards shuffle rotations for crucial series
Marquee matchup on tap for Saturday, with Lohse facing Masterson
The Brewers and Cardinals both shuffled their rotations for this weekend's National League Central showdown, and the changes have created marquee matchups for the final two games of the series, starting with Kyle Lohse against Justin Masterson on Saturday.
Jimmy Nelson had been scheduled to start for Milwaukee on Saturday but was scratched on Friday with a blister, moving Lohse into the spot. The former Cardinal has been a model of consistency for the Brewers this season, sporting an 11-5 record and 3.07 ERA. He's allowed four earned runs over his last three starts, a span of 19 2/3 innings.
The Cardinals, meanwhile, will get their first look at right-hander Masterson, one of their newest acquisitions. He had been on the disabled list for three weeks with an inflamed right knee and will look to make a good impression on his new team right away.
"Butterflies are always there," Masterson said of his emotions. "I think until I'm dead and gone, no matter what I'm doing in front of people, butterflies will be there. I think that always reminds you that you're alive, that you're having fun and that's right where you need to be."
Masterson, who had a 4-6 record and 5.51 ERA in Cleveland, said that the stint on the DL gave him a chance to work on his mechanics and get some rest.
"It was great for a combination of both -- to be able to get the mind right, get physically right and just work hard," he said. "When you go on the DL, you think it's a little bit of a breather, but you're working harder than you usually do. It's been nice."
Meanwhile, the Brewers' offense will bear down to face two experienced pitchers, with John Lackey following Masterson on Sunday.
"And they're good ones, too," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Masterson, when he's on with his sinker, he's really tough, especially to right-handers. And Lackey, just the experience in big games, and he can come out when he's got his command and really spot his fastball. And he's huge, so it's not this nice angle to it. And he's got a really good breaking ball. So he's been a big-game pitcher, and certainly has the experience when you're talking about going into the postseason."
The good news for Milwaukee? The hot-and-cold offense has been hot the last two games, scoring three earned runs off David Price on Wednesday and seven off Adam Wainwright on Friday. The win on Friday gave the Brewers a three-game cushion in the division, guaranteeing that they will still be in first place at the end of this three-game set.
Brewers: Crew happy with moves at non-waiver Trade Deadline
Though many thought the Brewers might go after right-handed relief pitching before Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, they made only one move, reeling in Gerardo Parra from the D-backs. Parra brings another great glove, and he can spell any of the three outfielders.
Though some fans were hoping the team would do more, Roenicke is happy with the team's moves.
"Well, it's got to make sense, and I've said that all along," Roenicke said. "You don't do things just because you think you should do them. You do them because they make sense. For St. Louis, I think those two guys were great pickups for them."
Cardinals: Bourjos seeing more time in center field
With Jon Jay injuring his wrist on a check swing in San Diego, Peter Bourjos has been getting more playing time in center field, starting there for three straight games.
Bourjos is 2-for-8 over those three games, and he smacked a ground-rule double in Friday's series opener. He is also a defensive upgrade over Jay, and he showed his defensive prowess with a few nice plays on Friday.
Worth noting
• Ryan Braun and Zach Duke were named the Brewers' player and pitcher of the month for July, respectively.
• The Brewers have 51 quality starts this season, trailing only the Braves in the National League.
• St. Louis' Matt Holliday has been hot since the All-Star break, with four home runs and 10 RBIs. He's batting .263 in that span.

You see online quizzes and surveys all over the Internet, some are scams but others are by legitimate companies offering the potential to win great prizes, or asking for your help in gaining research insights. Your temptation to take a quiz or survey may be motivated by the prize, a desire to help shape research, or it may be to eliminate boredom, procrastinate, or satisfy your own curiosity.
Before you take that quiz, it's important to understand that someone, some company, or some organization spent time creating that survey - what is their motivation?
Quizzes and surveys are designed for one purpose; to collect information. Your information.
Have you ever seen terms of use on a survey or quiz site? Probably not. Quiz takers are giving away information to the creator of the survey without any understanding of how it will be used, sold, loaned or traded. Without any ability to go back and request your information be removed.
Depending on the hosting site, and the questions asked, they may or may not know exactly who you are, but at a bare minimum they are collecting information about your preferences. Keep in mind that even when the survey or quiz itself doesn't ask for your personal information they may still be collecting it.
Even the most innocuous surveys learn far more than you might imagine. Information they collect can include the type of computer and software you use, your location (they collect this from your IP Address, so it actually doesn't fool any service to claim you're in another zip code), what website you were on prior to coming to the quiz/survey/research site as well as where you go after you leave the site. The information may be used independently, or it may be added to an accumulation of information about you that the creators have collected or purchased.
If your IP address is associated with any other information, they may know your name, your address, and anything you have shared or others have shared about you - including information culled from government records like property records, voter records, criminal records, school records, and so on. If the survey or quiz is within a site you have registered to use, your information may have been passed to them by the partner site.
People are particularly quick to give away their information if the survey or quiz dangles a prize, because it makes sense that you have to provide accurate information in case you win - this means you provide your email alias, name, address and phone number, and possibly other identifiable information.
Think about it; if 50k people provide all this information in the hopes of receiving a prize worth a couple hundred dollars the sponsor knows the information collected will be accurate and they have 'purchased' that data for a fraction of a penny per person.
Take a closer look at quizzes and surveys to understand how this works using the example shown here. This longevity quiz looks like a fun, silly test to see how long you will live. Yet it targets seniors and asks very invasive questions about one of the most sensitive types of information - respondent's health data– and it goes on to collect information about the health of their family members as well.
What looks like a harmless pastime is really an insidious method of collecting information that you would never provide under other circumstances.
In this case, though the quiz is hosted on a senior's social networking site, it quickly becomes apparent that the company behind the quiz is CVS. In the first screen you see a CVS ad. It doesn't look blank, but as soon as the respondent starts answering the very detailed questions the ad changes.
What you realize is that all of the answers are being transmitted to CVS in real-time so they can populate a shopping list of items you will 'need' in order to live longer.
While this alone can be creepy, it is just the first level of use of respondent's data. Because there are no terms and conditions for use, nothing stops the company from using this same data in other ways.
What happens if all this medical history is shared or sold to an insurance company? Will the fact that you reportedly eat process meat 5 times a week, struggle with stress, and have a family history of mental illness affect your insurance claims or your ability to get insurance? The answer is quite likely yes.
Unfortunately, the respondent isn't the only one at risk. If this information is sold, then every member of the respondent's family may face additional difficulties when seeking insurance, loans and other services.
If the information is sold to less ethical - or flat out criminal – entities, the information exposure can lead to identity theft, medical identity theft and an increase in spam and scams for both the respondent and their family members. What happens if this information is purchased by your employer or a potential employer?
The ramifications associated with sharing information – particularly this sensitive of information - can be far reaching. Before you decide to enter a sweepstakes, take a quiz or survey, or respond to the research questions, think through the possible ramifications. If you aren't 100% sure of who is behind the questions, and know how your information will be used (and guaranteed that it will NOT be used in any other way in the future) don't respond. If you cannot trust that your information will be respected or you haven't been given a guaranteed right to have your information removed at any time, don't respond.
If you don't share it, you won't risk the information later causing damage to you or others you care about.

A brain tumor occurs when cells grow uncontrollably in the brain. Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. If cells divide uncontrollably, they form a mass of tissue. The mass is called a growth or tumor. The term cancer usually refers to malignant tumors. These can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor does not spread. But, it can continue to grow and press structures near it, causing symptoms.
There are two main types of brain tumors:

The cause of most primary brain cancers is unknown. Secondary brain cancer is caused by the cancer spreading to the brain from another site.
Factors that increase your chance of developing brain tumors include:
Any cancer in the body can spread to the brain. The most common tumors that may spread to the brain include:
Symptoms depend on the tumor's size and location. A growing tumor will often have fluid build-up around it. This is called edema. Edema puts pressure on the brain. Symptoms may develop gradually or rapidly.
Symptoms may include:
You will be asked your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You will have a neurological exam. It will test muscle strength, coordination, reflexes, response to external actions, and alertness. The doctor may also look into your eyes to check for signs of brain swelling.
Images of your bodily structures may need to be taken. This can be done with:
A sample of brain tissue may need to be removed for testing. This can be done with:
There are many different types of brain tumors. The doctor will classify the type. The type of brain tumor is important to determine the treatment approach.
After cancer is found, further tests may be done if there is concern that the cancer has spread. Treatment depends on the type, size, location of the cancer, and your overall health. Treatments may leave you with physical or mental limitations.
Before beginning treatment, you may take medications, including:
Surgical procedures include:
Radiation therapy uses radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This is a common treatment for brain tumors. Radiation may be:
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be given in many forms, including pill, injection, or through a tube called a catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells. It may also be delivered directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, which bathes the brain tissue. This form of chemotherapy is called intrathecal. This is most often used when cancer has spread from elsewhere in the body to the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Rehabilitation therapy includes:
There are no guidelines for preventing brain cancer.

Forum topic: Good game, but tiles need work
I'm blind then, I've searched all the options yesterday, now I see it :D
Thanks! An option to simply fullscreen would be a lot better though.
Forum topic: Good game, but tiles need work
Actually you can do it, though it took me a bit to reaslize the controls, in the main menu you can use the arrow keys, and whe the arrow keys are used for Adding or Minusing points or whatever, then you've to use the Chevrons (these things: ">>>> <<<<<") to go back an forth bettwen diffrent items so
[I'M HERE] (want to go here!) *press '>'*
(was here~!) [NOW HERE]
Also on the tiles you CAN disable them, and you CAN, make thefeild of vision longer however it isn't correct in scale i think so if you put the number too high it'll not want to work well without clipping off slightly...
So in the Options - Chervon to Interface, then from there you shold see View Port Hieght and Length: for me i put it at 30:X 15:Y and it works very well for me on my 8 by 11 or so laptop screen :3
Forum topic: Good game, but tiles need work
This "tiles and characters" thing was also present in ToME before the tileset was complete. In doesn't strike me as bad, the bad thing is that the default tileset heavily limits the view. And you can't resize the window (or can you? haven't found it at least).
Forum topic: Where to buy?
It's available in the chrome web store (You'll need chrome it will not run in chromium) and its free. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/plush/ocbcflmimijbjlkheidhomhg...
Forum topic: gog.com not mentioning Linux
Well I think it's nothing bad about to show people where they can buy those classics.
Without gog.com ScummVm, DOSbox, Theme Hospital, Unreal, UT/UT2004, Arx, Syndicate & Co.would be already dead.
Just have a look at Homeword - it's great game, Game of the Year, many best notes, source is available, it has a Linux port but you can't buy it anywhere today ==> Port and Modding is dead now.
>I agree, gog refuses to offer Linux downloads for games already available
GOG will come when they are ready, they just have one simple policy:
If you buy a game on GOG for your platform it will run out-of-the box and that's something you can't currently guarantee on linux.

I just wanted to get your thoughts on B.Davis or G.Arenas ? Could Arenas play D here?, could he contribute offensively? occasionally score and handle the ball? could her turn it around with fresh start in NY and new atmosphere? i liked how he played for Orlando late last spring. He did not play up to his contract at all. he is not star anymore. but could he be a role player or potential starter ? obviously he would have to come cheap. Also…. would Baron Davis just be another ball hogging stefon starbury if he came to NY? Really … I just want Wilson Chandler back. and i want to buy a teeshirt that says the CHANDLER TWINS.
I don't think Arenas is a good fit. he doesn't have much in the tank and I don't think he is a good defender. I will say he's a better option than Mike Bibby… Baron would be a nice fit here I think but again with the addition of Bibby and possibly Barea, I don't think he is an option either
Sorry, seems like I was posting in the wrong area before. Oh oh, three in a row for the Knicks. They win the back to back against Indy. They can definitely win 4 of the next 5 games. Milwaukee does play the Knicks hard but they also traded away Bogut and the Knicks just seem more aggressive and hungry lately. Time will tell!
Go Celtics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the Celtics were smart to re-sign Garnett, but they will miss Allen. How much does Pierce have left? Will Rondo grow up or piss the team off again? Celtics are going to have a hard time being as good as they were last year, I think.
Meloship of the Ring. I find this title interesting. Who's the wizard? Who's Frodo? Who's Samwise? Which role would 'Melo take to?
I am cautiously excited about this offseason. I think the Knicks will be relevant, and they will seriously contend for the Atlantic Division crown. Will they mesh enough to truly be contenders for the Eastern Conference? Time will tell, but I do believe they can play with Boston and Indiana and Chicago. Miami is a beast of a different color. What do you think?
haha I'll leave the role deciding to you.
I'll say this. The Knicks are as good on paper as any team in the league. they need to a) stay healthy b) get Amar'e back to an elite level c) get Melo to be a better all around player and d) make outside shots.
if they can do these things, they can compete in the East, although I don't think they're going to be as good as Miami. LeBron is the game changer. its going to be very difficult to beat them in a 7 game series

Home · Centers at McCombs · EMIC · News · MBA CleanTech Group Named Best Graduate Student Organization
CleanTech Group members Whit Wolman, Rob Hallenbeck, Josh Stillman, Franklin Fuchs and Pete Conrad
The CleanTech Group, an MBA student organization at McCombs, was honored as the Best Graduate Organization at The University of Texas during the annual Swing Out Awards' Evening of the Stars ceremony on April 22. The Swing Out Awards are given by The University of Texas Leadership and Ethics Institute to student organizations that have demonstrated excellence in leadership on campus.
In just four years, the CleanTech student group has made a significant impact at McCombs. The group worked to establish a clean tech academic specialty in the full-time MBA program to help students prepare for careers in the clean tech industry. The CleanTech Concentration, representing one of the fastest growing employment areas for MBAs, prepares students for careers in renewable energy, energy efficiency and emissions abatement. CleanTech helped students locate internships, PLUS projects and full time employment with companies like Waste Management, Horizon Wind, Tessera Solar, SunPower and GE Renewables.
The organization also hosted a number of expert speakers at McCombs to educate students about the CleanTech model including Mac Irvin of Sunpower, Paul Pabor of Waste Management, Russell Gold of the Wall Street Journal and Kristan Hanelt of Tioga Energy. And the group confirmed their academic prowess by winning 2nd place in national CleanTech case competitions at the University of Michigan and the University of California, Berkeley.
Upcoming plans for CleanTech include hosting the first University of Texas campus-wide Energy Forum in the spring of 2011.
Congratulations go to the CleanTech Group for this recognition of their outstanding contributions at McCombs and The University of Texas at Austin!

I am one lucky girl cause my finacee asked to marry him with this gorgeous bridal set. Even if i wasn't sure, the ring may have made me say yes anyway (just kidding!). There are so many diamonds in this set I coudn't belive it. The matching wedding band goes perfectly. I love it. Thanks dan and thank OS.
She said yes and loves it. I'm so happy I found a ring that was both beautiful and affordable. I think that this is a great purchase for someone who is classy enough not to flash around a huge ring.
My wife loves her ring even though I was sent a 5 instead of a 4 and a half. It fits a little big because of this.
When I received the ring it was BEAUTIFUL. Smaller than the picture, yet still beautiful. HOWEVER the quality is terrible. After about 9 months, the white Gold started wearing off, then the shape of the ring changed. One of the prongs broke off and eventually the diamond fell out. I still loved my ring because it had sentimental value to me and my husband. Well we used our protection, sent it in to be repaired. We were told it could not be repaired and it was no longer in stock! We got a credit (not the full amount) on our account. I am sick that I don't have my ring anymore and get this...The ring is NOW on sale for almost $XXX more than what we paid. I will not buy any other diamonds or anything of REAL value from Overstock again. I'm sorely displeased.
Very disappointed in this ring set. The pictures show a beautiful, bright ring set. I was very disappointed when I received the actual ring. I am returning the set.
I bought this ring to propose to my now fiance, this ring is absolutely beautiful and the picture really does not do it justice. Everyone who saw it said that it was the perfect choice. Great Job "O"!!!
I have placed the order twice first time they put some one elses home address the second time it got lost in the mail through DHL The third time the price went up and they would not give the ring for the price i orderd it for before its been 3 months still trying to get ring have no choice but by from shop due to wedding in 1 month time

I am having migraines badly
I am a professional musician who had several bizarre/ disastrous performances before being diagnosed with absence seizures in 2007 which is when I began taking Lamictal. Lamictal alone didn't fully control the absence seizures, but it ended the constant excruciating headache that had plagued me for years. Now, I take its generic (400 mg daily) in combination with generic equivalent of Keppra (2500 mg daily). The two have virtually eliminated the absence seizures. Adequate rest, limited work on a computer, taking the medication every 12 hours (not 11 or 13, etc. and avoiding strobe lights have also been helpful. I had issues with leg convulsions, but these have subsided. I think one or both medicines have caused/increased depression...still a small price to pay for the ability to continue my career.
I just started Lamictal about two months ago, after coming off of my 2mg dose of Abilify. It took a few weeks to take effect, at about 75mg, but when it started working, it REALLY worked. I'm on 100mg right now, and I've lost weight gained from Abilify; much more importantly, I feel more emotionally regulated than I have in several years. For the first time since I was about 10, my emotions feel normal. Lamictal has been an absolute miracle drug for me.
Not sure what happened but almost immediately after taking this medicine I stopped binging and purging. When I stopped taking it almost a year later my eating disorder came back. I am going to start taking it again to see if it help.s
This drug did not seem to help at all. I was always sick to my stomach and just didn't like it at all.
Seems to work well, minimizes the mood swings
After experiencing an unfortunate incident where I was wrongfully arrested by the police while having a diabetic emergency, almost died in custody and they managed to break my wrist. Also I suffered chronic stress from this incident as it affected my ability to work I developed PTSD. After 6 weeks on this med my flashbacks and unwanted thoughts of traumas have reduced by 90% but of late I am feeling them starting to increase. I am a little worried that I may be experiencing development of tollerence to this med but will soon be asking if I can upwardly tweak my dose.
Within 6 months, all seizues were gone. I take brand name only. For me, side effects were minimal. The quality of my life has drastically improved with this medication.
Best treatment so far for BP1
i FEEL IT HAS HELPED

I have not merged this result yet since the computer crached during imagemagic compilation (probably overheating), which meant that I was only able to run 1 test this night.
side-by-side comparisons do however indicate that Clang performed as good or better than ICC or GCC when -O2 is used!
Pretty cool...

This is great news; hopefully other games will benefit similarly from it too
So i''ll wait for commits in main tree. I can live with that
Thx Marek
@stqn it works, but framerate is abaut 8-25fps, too low for enjoy.
i've just used my brain and patch no.10 works for now (the problem was " at " instead "@" in email address) like i said i'm nob
Does this change the FPS of other games too? Some benchmarks would be nice.
If the development efforts towards the open source drivers really are going to speed up (that's one interpretation of recent comments about Linux drivers by AMD), then perhaps I would consider AMD for my next desktop graphics card (like the one I'm currently using but am not too thrilled with the driver situation). A laptop is a more likely next purchase for me however (as my current one is four years old), and I am leaning away from AMD graphics on that for the moment. I'm in no hurry to make a purchase, though, since my four year old laptop runs so well now with the open source AMD drivers (it's a mobile 4850).
The upside of a new laptop would be an IPS screen with the possibility of being thin, light, and powerful with good battery life (my old one was powerful (Core 2 Quad), but battery life is so-so at best, and thin and light it is not). The downside is a departure from the 16:10 screen ratio (I like 16:10 and 3:2, not so much the old 4:3 or the newer 16:9), probably a smaller screen (17 inch is not the most portable but can be nice), and the possibility that the hardware/software combination will not be as stable as what I have now.

We have the latest test results for these prime Pentax lenses. With these additions we can now compare the results for 10 Pentax lenses ranging from the kit-featured Pentax SMC DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL II and super zoom Pentax SMC Pentax-DA 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 ED AL [IF] to the more expensive Pentax SMC DA 16-50mm F2.8 ED AL (IF) SDM.
Pentax smc D FA MACRO 100mm F2.8 WR
This lens is designed to perform nicely on portrait or Macro photography. Its specific design specifications mark it as weather-proof.
To check its image quality measurements on the Pentax K5 and the K20D click the following links:
The review, however will be based on the better resolved sensor, currently embedded on the Pentax K5
The DxOMark Score
To have a scope on where this lens stands, at DxOMark we have previously tested other 100mm lenses such as:
The results on this Pentax lens are quite good on measures such as chromatic aberration, transmission and vignetting.
Nevertheless by obtaining a 14 at f/4 on the K5 we can say that its performance is a bit disappointing taking into account the extraordinary sensor quality of the Pentax K5.
These results are influenced by the lens resolution which remains a bit low when compared with the other 100mm lenses previously cited.
100 mm lenses comparison
At DxOMark lenses are measured according to how well they perform mounted on a specific camera. Most of the time two measured lenses might be very similar but the cameras used for the measurements almost generally possess a different kind of sensor. This generally impacts the lens' final score.
Pentax vs Nikon
In this rare occasion we can compare a Nikon and a Pentax lens under almost the same conditions as we are using the Nikon D7000 and the Pentax K5 cameras. These two cameras -as you probably know- share the same sensor.
No doubt here, the Nikon 105mm mounted on the Nikon D7000 outpaces its competitor as the resolution results are much better. On every other measure the 2 lenses are pretty close.
Pentax vs Canon
For this comparison we've resorted to the K5 on the Pentax side and an EOS 7D on the Canon side.
In these results the Pentax 100mm comes very close to its Canon competitor even if this lens lacks of resolution, (resolution Metric = 46 for Pentax vs 51lp.mm for Canon), the lack of resolution on the Pentax lens side is compensated by the noise performance of the Pentax K5.
Pentax smc 14mm F2.8, a wide and fast lens :
See the full results for this lenses mounted on a Pentax K5 here.
The results are a bit disappointing, considering the high market price for this lens.
What we like
What could be better
14mm Pentax vs 14mm Samyang
In general on both mounts the Samyang lens is better than the Pentax. The Samyang 14mm Nikon mount has a lower price and a clearly better resolution (9 lp.mm). Nevertheless the Pentax lens controls distortion better.
On the Canon mount, even if the results are lower, the Samyang lens still takes the lead.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Responsive Winter Performance Tire for demanding weather conditions
In challenging weather conditions, the Eurowinter HS439 presents improved winter driving predictability and traction consistency. A new silica compound ensures tread flexibility, maximizing tread life, and multi-angled sipes allow for better control in ice and snow. The HS439 is extremely versatile as its unique UHP-inspired asymmetric tread pattern maintains high-speed stability in dry conditions, while four high volume circumferential grooves expel water, slush and packed snow when driving in adverse conditions. For owners of performance coupes, sedans, and wagons, the Eurowinter HS439 is perfect for winter and demanding weather conditions, whether wet or dry.

I was really impressed with these tires with our first sleet/ice dumping we had in the beginning of January and now about 2-3" of snow here in PA. No problems stopping, turning, or accelerating. Drove with confidence everywhere around town and on the highway during our 1st snow of the season.

Just put these on for third winter's use -- barely show any wear. Most driving is in greater Toronto area, don't encounter a lot of deep snow. Never a problem. Excellent on both city streets and highway.

I was actually kind of ticked off when I got these tires, as my dealership did not put on what I had asked for. However...I quickly fell in love with these tires! I live in the foothills of Alberta and we get tonnes of snow and ice. I never once felt unsafe on the road in all conditions! The tires road so smoothly, I hated to change them back over to my all-seasons in the spring. Love these tires! I can't say enough good about them as I am a very nervous driver on ice/snow and these tires gave me confidence.

These are okay if the pavement is wet or dry. Also okay if hard packed snow. For deeper or slushy snow the traction is lost. I have had to step and chop up snow/ice to get out often driveway. On ice or ice mixture it is about as good as a decent set of all seasons. Have blizzaks on the other vehicle - these pale in comparison when it comes to slippery ice/snow traction.

The REAL Source For Blasting Away Face Fat and Sculpting Sexier Cheeks And A Chiseled Jawline
Unusual Tips & Foods To Avoid
How To Lose Face Fat & How To Get Rid of A Double Chin For a Leaner, Sexier, & Younger-Looking Face!
You've probably noticed a bit of fat building up underneath your chin as you've gotten older. While everyone carries fat a little bit differently, the neck and cheeks is the first place many people gain weight. A double chin can look embarrassing and unsightly which can lead to lowered self esteem. Low self esteem can lead to depression which can lead to overeating which leads to more fat under your chin. It's a vicious cycle, but you can do something about it.
It's this cycle that you can easily and quickly break with the Face Fitness Formula.
By taking a few simple steps, you can learn how to get rid of a double chin and tighten your throat muscles through avoiding unhealthy foods. Getting rid of a double chin will also bring out your jaw line.
Here are some foods you should avoid...
The basic formula to lose weight is to ingest fewer calories than you burn. While the principles for face fat are a bit different, the foods you should avoid can be similar. Cakes, cookies and pastries are obviously high in calories and will contribute to a fat chin.
Even though that morning danish pastry may taste great, if you want the chin to go, the pastry will have to go, too. Try eating something healthier for a treat instead like an apple or other types of fruit.
When you start to train yourself to reach for fruit instead of cookies or donuts, you find it gets easier and easier the more you do it!
Hamburgers, Bacon and Fatty Meats
While not all meats are fatty, some of the most popular meats available at fast food places are terrible for you. Hamburger and bacon meat are loaded with fat and will definitely put on the pounds. Instead of eating those when you go out, try to eat less-fatty meats like lean steak or chicken. Or, better yet, choose a salad with light dressing instead of something overly meaty.
These foods also tend to be loaded with sodium, which is something that you need to drastically cut down on in order to lose face fat. In addition, the health risks associated with a high-sodium diet are enormous. And speaking of sodium, that's the next one…
Foods high in sodium and salt, like the fries and cheeseburger pictured here, will make you gain weight and are especially dangerous for those wondering how to get rid of a double chin.
Now I know lot of us love to eat this stuff, but it is absolutely loaded with sodium. Plus, salt causes water retention, causing you to gain water weight which often shows in the face. It also dehydrates you.
If you've trained yourself to go for a soda instead of water when you're thirsty, dehydration can be your weight loss goal's worst enemy.
Reducing the salt you eat is absolutely essential to losing a double chin and losing face fat.
Soda/Soft Drinks
Drinking soda throughout the day will add hundreds of calories to your daily intake, keeping the weight on and keeping your face bloated. Soda has many negative effects on your health, but for our purposes, we'll simply focus on the fact that it causes you to gain face fat. It is filled with sugar, with some sodas having as much as 50 grams of sugar per 12 ounce can.
That is more than 3 very big spoons of sugar per can! Soda also makes it harder to do cardiovascular exercises, a key ingredient to general weight loss, and it's just generally bad for you. Many people are actually addicted to sugar, and have no idea as the amount of fat it can add to your face over the course of a year!
Avoid it and switch to water. It'll take some time to get used to the taste of water, but after you do you won't want to go back.
Processed Foods
Foods that have been highly processed are going to contain lots of saturated fat and trans-fat, two types of fat that are difficult to get out of your body. These fats tend to be stored in your body and face and take a lot of work to burn off since your body will naturally burn off the unsaturated fats first.
Look at the fat content of what you eat (those nutrition labels are there for a reason) and avoid that have been highly processed. Processed foods usually contain high fructose corn syrup as one of the first ingredients.
Processed foods also contain an unbelievable amount of sodium, and as stated earlier, high sodium diets is a huge contributor to face fat.
A good rule of thumb is this: the more ingredients it has, the more processed it is. Also worth checking out is this article from Reader's Digest about the harmful ingredients of processed food.
Other High Fat Foods
Avoid foods high in fat to get rid of your double chin. Look at the nutritional information on the foods you eat. When you go out to a restaurant, stick with salads and plant-based meals instead of fatty pastas, meat dishes and other foods.

Besides avoiding the foods mentioned above, you can also actively do things to get rid of your double chin and face fat. Here are a few suggestions.
Eat an Early Breakfast
Your body doesn't really begin to metabolize food during a day until you start eating. That's one reason why eating an early breakfast is important. You'll basically be telling your body, "It's time to get to work turning fat into energy!" by eating breakfast.
Studies have also shown that eating breakfast is a good way to set good habits. Statistically speaking, people who eat breakfast are more likely to eat planned meals later in the day, leading to more healthy food choices instead of just fast food. Eating breakfast also prevents you from being extremely hungry later in the day, so the temptation to overeat won't be as bad.
For your breakfast, a good choice would be to eat something like an omelet with vegetables mixed in so you get a good balance of proteins and nutrients. This will prevent double chins.
Drink LOTS Of Water
You need to stay properly hydrated if you want to lose face fat. The easiest information I can give you regarding how to get rid of a double chin involves what you drink!
Drinking soda, even diet soda, will keep those pockets of fat underneath your chin. Even though it can take a little training, drinking water during the day will eventually become second nature to you.
Keep a water bottle with you and sip a little water if you feel hungry or thirsty. A lot of the time our bodies misinterpret the need for hydration as the need for food, so by drinking water you'll be eliminating some of the desire you have to eat more calories than you need.
Another benefit of water is that it makes you feel more full, so by drinking water with a meal you'll be filling up without filling up on calories. This will make it easier to eat less and stay near your calorie goals for the day.
Eat Healthy Snacks between Meals
By eating healthy snacks between meals, you'll be encouraging your body to continue metabolizing your food and turning it into energy, thus burning your face fat. Choose snacks like fruits and vegetables, and eat portions that are 200 calories or less. Avoid trans-fat and other obviously bad choices.
Do Facial Exercises
Maintaining a consistent exercise regimen is difficult, though, so try to find facial exercises you enjoy. If you're doing something you like, you'll be more likely to do your facial workouts on those days when you just won't feel like it (and those days will definitely come).
You can also look up special facial exercises and chin exercises to work your facial muscles on your head and neck on our blog here.
You want to know how to get rid of a big double chin and how to lose face fat? Avoid the foods that are bad for you and try to start the positive habits of a facial fitness program instead. You can remove loose skin without plastic surgery. Following this face fitness formula will take some work, but by following these double chin exercises you'll get rid of your double chin and hide double chin fat sooner than you realize.

Graduate School Forum: The Next Generation of International Affairs Faculty
Graduate School Forum:
The Next Generation of International Affairs Faculty
Interdisciplinarity is the hallmark of an international affairs degree and a reflection of the complexity of addressing problems with a global dimension. At their core, graduate programs in international affairs must train their students to have broad knowledge of the world and be able to navigate the interconnectedness of the private, public, and NGO sectors.
Students today will face a far more complicated world than ever as they assume leadership roles in international affairs. They simply will not have the option to shy away from studying the roles of science and technology, the global economy, or the role of governments' policies to improve or hinder the environments in which we operate. Young people today are challenged to be more innovative—and to be quicker and more creative in doing so than any time before.
