Dr. Heather Scott's Ratings
Dr. Scott did my u/s at the FAC in the IWK. She is very kind and knowledgeable. My daughter, however, did have a genetic disorder that was not picked up on ultrasound because it is SO rare and therefore no one (doctor) EVER looks for it. So she is not to blame whatsoever...she is truly wonderful. Thank you so much for the one time I got to see you.

Super doctor. Very knowledgeable and took the time to answer questions about my pregnancy. Covered everything and explained things well. She was a wonderful advocate for me when at delivery and took time to get me what was needed in the way of delivery procedures. She took time outside of regular office hours to follow up as well. Excellent doctor!

Dr. Scott was THE best doctor I've ever met. She truly cares and I believe works because she is so compationate. My wife had a few difficulties and Dr. Scott did everything in her power to find out what was going on. There were days/nights that I'm almost positive she worked around the clock. Professionals like her are extremely rare in my opinion. We will never forget her.

Dr. Scott is simply the best OBGYN in Canada. The most compassionate Doctor I have ever seen in my life. A doctor that can relate with you, a doctor that cries with you, laughs with you and share all of your memories good or bad with you. Indeed a real human being that goes beyond the call of duty. Without a doubt, Dr. Scott is a very rare gem among doctors and my wife and I can go on and on to sing her praise. Thank you Dr. Scott for all the good work you are doing here at the IWK and Nova Scotia at large. We believe God sent you our way to make sure that our Son and Daughters were delivered safely despite the challenges of difficult pregnancy. From the bottom of our heart, we say thank you!

Dr Scott is simply wonderful = she is very kind and LISTENS to everything you say = a rarity in my opinion. She calms your nerves and is just wonderful. You will always wait for her at appts but it is simply worth it. I did NOT like her secretary but I did hear she has another one now. God bless you Dr Scott!

I absolutely LOVED Dr. Scott. I had her for my first baby. She was wonderful. So kind, caring and just the nicest person in the world. I had to go for quite a bit of ultrasounds, and she was wonderful for all of them. Even though she wasn't there for my delivery, she came to see me a few days later to check on me. You do have a LONG wait for her - but she is WELL worth it. She is most loving doctor EVER. I hope to get her for my next baby!

For years, a city-dwelling couple had a favorite small-town getaway destination. Now, with a new weekend retreat there, they can escape often and savor the views.
For their vacations, Mark Wernick and Nancy Entwistle usually gravitated to western Wisconsin. They'd visit the Creamery, a restaurant in Downsville, ride their bikes along the Red Cedar Trail or hike the soaring bluffs.
The couple had a home in Minneapolis but were drawn to the rolling hills of the Mississippi River Valley. "I've always dreamed of riding a motorcycle in this area," said Wernick. "It's so beautiful." Whenever they climbed a bluff and admired the scenery, they would ask each other the same thing: "Wouldn't it be nice to have a house with this view?"
In 2009, Entwistle and Wernick decided to move beyond talking about it and start looking for a piece of land, where they could build a weekend escape from the city and be close to many friends who had retirement homes in the area. "We were both hitting our 60s, and decided we have to do it now, or else it will be too late," said Entwistle, who grew up in a small town in Wisconsin.
A friend told them about a real estate company, with a booth at the State Fair, that was offering land near Pepin, Wis. The couple drove out with an agent who showed them lots in the woods. "But the view of the valley was too tunnel-like," said Wernick. As they were leaving the development, they spied a piece of property for sale with trees strategically cleared out to show off and sell the view.
"It had farmland, bluffs, Lake Pepin," said Entwistle. "You could see it all."
Entwistle and Wernick snapped up the 8 rural acres outside of Pepin, and enlisted SALA architects David O'Brien Wagner and Chris Meyer to design their second home sited on a bluff high above the Mississippi River Valley, just like they'd dreamed of 20 years earlier.
"David came out and walked around the property to figure out how to mesh the house with the slope and contours of the landscape," said Wernick. "And we told him it had to be attractive enough for us to want to drive through traffic every weekend."
Farm in front, beauty in back
The completed one-of-a kind getaway has a gravel driveway that leads first to a cluster of outbuildings — a tool shed and a machine shed — which gives the agrarian setting a farmstead feel and offers some privacy.
For the house, Wagner designed a low-slung, rectangular-shaped structure to fill in the 100-foot-wide gap in the tree canopy created by the developer. The shed roof mimics a farm building, said Wagner. But at the entrance is an unexpected wall of rusted Corten steel, which roots the home to the landscape by blending with the forest setting.
The exterior's textural steel shell opens to a huge picture window, giving a glimpse of the bluffs and the river valley out the back of the home. Inside, a wood and glass box holds the living and sleeping quarters.
Wagner calls it the "Edge House." "The design is a mediation between two realms: the farmland to the north, and the bluff above the Mississippi River Valley to the south," he said. The picture window serves as a threshold between the farmland and wooded edge beyond.
Wernick and Entwistle didn't want to worry about climbing steps as they aged, so the 1,800-square-foot home is on one level. The owners' bedroom is at one end, and the guest bedroom, which doubles as Entwistle's art studio, is at the other end.
"When you walk in and turn to the right, it explodes into a big, tall space with high, sloping ceilings, walls of windows and the river," said Wagner, referring to the simply designed, spacious open area that encompasses the kitchen, living and dining rooms.
It's a marked contrast to their home in the city — "a 1967 rambler with little rooms and lots of walls," said Entwistle. "This feels open, uncluttered and relaxing."
But the best seat in the house is on the steel-railinged deck thrusting out above the valley. "Sometimes the clouds are so white and fluffy," said Entwistle. "When the fog rolls in, the river disappears. And lightning puts on quite a show."
Numerous built-in maple bookcases and cabinets divide and define spaces, as well as providing efficient storage. The built-ins lend simplicity and practicality to the small space, said Meyer. To warm the home all year long, Wagner put in a heated concrete floor, colored and polished, and a Danish wood-burning stove. Silver and black pendant lights suspended from the ceiling continue the metal motif and are reminiscent of what you might see in a factory or bakery. With the exposed Douglas fir beams and columns, steel brackets and cross braces, the interiors are a "truthful, honest expression of what it takes to hold a building up," said Meyer.

Considering the fact that you can feasibly walk four to six dogs at a time, (or at least per day), you might be making a cool $120 a week for the rest of the summer. In an interview with Fox News, Knox noted that she is made 25 - 30 videos up to now and has made enough to fund an entire year of schooling at Duke. Tuition is generally much more affordable this way, which might help answer your question of how to save money for college to tuition In addition, if your parents are willing to put off being empty-nesters for a couple more years, you can even save thousands on room and board costs.
Faculty First - For students who wish to attend school first, then the military later, the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) offers value-based scholarships as one of several methods to cover school now, while asking for three or four years of military commitment upon graduation. Another option is Military School Loan Repayment. I used to not have those "typical faculty experiences" either, and I 'm fine with it!
I did almost something similar, except I didn't start taking extra courses until my second year in (I did not recognize you could!). I went to community college for a year, transferred, and stayed there for a couple of years. I had AP credit, I took summer courses, I needed to get permission from the dean to take one semester to 19 credits, and took on-line classes as well. I went to a commuter school, so there was no typical or dorming college experience.
Tutoring: You excel at, if you are attempt to make money by offering tutoring services in your major in college or in a place. For instance, if you have high grades in your mathematics classes, or if your major is mathematics, you can tutor younger students or your fellow students in junior high school and high school for a fee. Freelancing: Freelance work is also a great way to make additional money. I am a military vet with 10 years leadership experience and I 've yet to meet 1 person using a college degree who had any leadership qualities when arriving new on the job.
Even if you will not start school for another 3 years, you can still apply for scholarships. There's tons of scholarship money out there that never gets used because no one knows about them or bothers to employ. Do notall your cash on textbooks from the campus bookstore.

Ralph Fogle designed and built HONEY BEAR, a 9′8″ × 3′8″ rowing skiff. He planked the sides with 1/2″ tongue-and-groove spruce, and the bottom with 5/8″. He used stainless steel square driver screws for fastenings, and finished the hull in clear epoxy. With assistance from his wife, Darlena, and his labrador puppy, Barlow, Ralph launched HONEY BEAR on August 18, 2012 near their home in West Lafayette, Ohio. Ralph writes that she is best suited as a one-man fishing boat for three meandering rivers and numerous ponds found in Coshocton County, Ohio. He is already considering his next build—something the whole family can fit in.

Turner deal close for Sunderland
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce hopes to push through a move for Hull defender Michael Turner on Monday.
Press Association Sport understands the Black Cats have been given permission to speak to the 25-year-old after tabling an offer which could eventually rise to around £12million.
Turner has been chased by several clubs this summer, but none had previously come up with the necessary cash to tempt them to sell.
However, Tigers boss Phil Brown admitted after Saturday's 1-1 Barclays Premier League draw at Wolves that the offers currently on the table were "getting towards a ridiculous valuation for a player who cost us £300,000".
But if Turner does head for the Stadium of Light, there is no chance of striker Fraizer Campbell moving in the opposite direction.
The 21-year-old former Manchester United frontman was a target for Hull before he joined Sunderland in a £3.5million deal rising to £6million in July. There had been suggestions that Brown would ask for Campbell as part of any deal for Turner, but although he is yet to start a league game for his new club, he has already made an impression on Wearside and will not be allowed to leave."

Tomorrow's Day Of Action - A Big Deal
-- by Dave Johnson
Thursday's National Day Of Action looks like it will be really big. People will be out doing things all over the country. There will be all kinds of events that say, "We are the 99%!" My favorite is people will be gathering in front of various decaying bridges, to demonstrate that our #1 need is jobs and our #1 place to put people to work is rebuilding our decaying infrastructure.
To find events near you see American Dream Day Of Action at http://november17.org/ and We Are One at http://we-r-1.org/
Isaiah Poole writes about the Day of Action in his post today, The Evictions Won't Stand: Make Nov. 17 A Day Of National Occupation,
"You can't evict an idea whose time has come." That was the message posted on OccupyWallSt.org as early this morning, police began to storm the Occupy Wall Street protests in Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan.To prove it, supporters of the Occupy movement have vowed to pull out all the stops to make November 17 a day of national occupation. That day is the two-month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street protests that sparked a national and international movement. There were already 303 "We Are the 99%" protests scheduled for that day around the country, organized with the help of MoveOn.org. Now those gatherings have added urgency as a rebuke to the efforts to squelch the occupations and silence their voices. As the OccupyWallSt.org statement says, "This burgeoning movement is more than a protest, more than an occupation, and more than any tactic...This moment is nothing short of America rediscovering the strength we hold when we come together as citizens to take action to address crises that impact us all. Such a movement cannot be evicted."
Here are just some of the bridge events this Thursday, Nov. 17:
These demonstrations are part of a National Day of Action against policies that have enriched the 1% and impoverished the 99%. People nationwide will march and rally at structurally unsound bridges and other sites in need of repair to demand that America be put back to work now and that the economy work for the 99% once again.
- New York, NY – 6 p.m. March on Brooklyn Bridge
- Chicago, IL – 3:30pm, LaSalle Street Bridge
- Washington, DC – 4:30 p.m. protest at Key Bridge
- Los Angeles, CA – 7:00am, 3rd St. and Hope St. in downtown LA (to march and demonstrate at the structurally deficient 4th Street bridge)
- Philadelphia, PA – 4 p.m., Market Street Bridge, near historic 30th Street Amtrak Station
- Pittsburgh, PA – 3 p.m., Greenfield Bridge
- Seattle, WA – 4:00pm, Montlake Bridge
- Miami, FL – 40p.m., Brickell Drawbridge
- Baltimore, MD – 4:30 p.m., Howard Street Bridge
- Boston, MA – 4:30 p.m., Charlestown Bridge
- Portland, OR – 8:00am, Steel Bridge (east side of bridge)
- Houston, TX – 3:30pm, Travis Street Bridge
- Detroit, MI – 3:00pm, 2nd Avenue/94 Bridge
- Milwaukee, WI – 3:30pm, North Ave pass over I-43
- Minneapolis, MN – 4:00pm, 10th Avenue Bridge
CWA / Verizon Worker March
The biggest labor action right now is Verizon's workers who are trying to preserve middle-class jobs from a predatory giant corporation that is trying to send all the money to the 1%. Verizon workers have been marching from Albany to New York City and will arrive at Verizon HQ on Thursday.
I received this statement from the Communication Workers of America:
"The Communications Workers of America strongly condemns the decision by Mayor Bloomberg to forcibly remove protesters from Zuccotti park. In two short months, Occupy Wall Street has focused the world's attention on the deep frustration felt by working people about an economy that no longer works for the middle class. The 99% have seen good jobs disappear while the rich get richer and the big banks make billions with impunity. Mayor Bloomberg may have cleared the park for now, but Occupy Wall Street's message cannot be silenced. No one can evict an idea whose time has come."Now more than ever, CWA members will join the massive day of action on Thursday, November 17. Verizon workers who have been walking for over a week from Albany, NY -- over 150 miles in total -- will arrive at Verizon Headquarters at 140 West St in New York City on Thursday at 4 pm to join hundreds of their coworkers in a March to Foley Square. Their message is the same message we are hearing from Occupy Wall Street and beyond: The 99% are standing up against corporate greed and against a government that more and more puts the interests of the 1% ahead of the middle class."
See also from The Nation, Occupy Verizon, Occupy the Labor Movement,
Forty-five thousand union members at Verizon, no longer a majority at their company, are negotiating with a company set on imposing conditions more like those of their non-union co-workers: higher healthcare costs, job insecurity and raises left to management discretion. Workers (most from the Communications Workers of America) struck for two weeks when their contracts expired in August, then returned to work with an agreement to "restructure bargaining." Since then, Verizon has relented on some insulting but comparatively low-cost concessions, like eliminating the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. But overall it maintains "pretty much the same position they had when we went on strike," according to Bob Master, who coordinates CWA actions against Verizon in New York and seven other states.

text: (POCATELLO, ID) – Pocatello has become the sixth city in the state to pass an anti-discrimination ordinance. Following a nearly six-hour meeting Thursday night, council members voted 4-2 to approve the measure, which bans discrimination regarding sexual orientation in matters of housing, employment, and public accommodations. Proponents say they're happy with the move, while others claim the measure should've provided exemptions for small businesses.

Kenny Loggins (born Kenneth Clark Loggins on January 7, 1948 in Everett, Washington) is an American singer and songwriter best known for a number of soft rock and adult contemporary hit singles beginning in the 1970s. Originally a part of the duo Loggins and Messina, he has also recorded as a solo artist and written hit songs for other artists.
Loggins has been listed as 'vegetarian' on other websites, whilst it is not clear if he ever was, he was not in 2000 - this was in answer to an online forum:
No, we are not vegetarians. We eat fish and chicken, but we eat all organic produce and we feel it's important for our health and our kid's health.
In 2007 he was listed as a nominee for PETA's 'sexiest vegetarian', but there is no confirmation of any change.

Shutdown ends, problems persist
After 16 days, the government shutdown has finally ended with Congress giving final approval to a budget compromise. Yet it seems that just as effects were beginning to trickle down, citizens were barely starting to take notice. The issue is one that all citizens need to pay attention to, not just government employees and politicians.
Talks to craft a deal that would end the government shutdown came...

Gunslinger Shooting Gallery
Here at Green Head HQ I would love to install a full-size shooting gallery into the breakroom, but I don't think I would be able to get the proper permit for live firearms, so I found a somewhat smaller and safer alternative. Check out this new wireless infrared (w/ 20 foot range!) game called the Gunslinger Shooting Gallery. Simply grab your trusty wireless infrared six-shooter pistol and wait for the bandits to appear in the canyon and start blasting. You need to shoot all three of them three times to win the fight, but beware they are shooting back. Even better, the game plays a cool Spaghetti Western theme song to make the experience even more fun. I gotta get one of these for the office!
- Action packed, fast paced, wireless infrared game of skill and reflexes
- Will test and improve your marksmanship with a twenty foot shooting range
- Bandits get faster and nastier with each level completed
- Bandits are interactive, yelling out when hit and taunting when they fire back
- Features realistic shooting sound effects
- Spaghetti Western theme song background music

For three weeks, Bill Clinton has been on a World Apology Tour. It started in the Map Room, moved out to sea to a friendly island off the People's Republic of Massachusetts, then went on to the Kremlin and ended in Ireland. Not once, though, did he hit a pure, clean high note. In Dublin he finally coughed out an "I am sorry," but grudgingly, as if he were repeating something for a dense and demanding bunch of whiners.

The No. 14 ranked Glenwood girls soccer team suffered its first loss of the season on Friday with a 2-0 setback against Sioux City East.
The Rams (4-1 overall, 3-0 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference) struggled to adjust to the Black Raiders' offensive scheme in the loss.
"Sioux City East played a formation that we were not used to seeing," said Glenwood coach Amy Benson. They did a really good job of using their outside defenders as an extra option on offense."

Social Media and a Fair Trial… Again
In recent years, the judicial system has struggled to strike the proper balance between free speech and a fair trial in a world where social media is ever-pervasive. In just the last year, John Craven noted that juror tweets have caused numerous mistrials, Marina Visan reported that Facebook "likes" are not protected by the First Amendment, and guest blogger and attorney James P. Goslee discussed whether discovery can reach information posted on Facebook profiles. Last week, another judge addressed yet another issue with regard to a different type of social media: the blog.
When Dr. Linda Cheek was accused of prescribing pain medication illegally, she took to her blog to begin her defense. She accused the government of collusion and of treating her like a Colombian drug lord. In response to Dr. Cheek's inflammatory remarks, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Virginia requested a gag order on the defendant, seeking a prohibition on "internet blogging, tweeting and otherwise public communication about her trial." Judge Glen Conrad rejected the prosecutor's motion, citing the defendant's First Amendment right to free speech as support.
The Wall Street Journal Law Blog covered the issue on February 6. Intrigued by the balance of free speech and a fair trial, WSJ turned to Ken Paulson, President and CEO of the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt, for some answers. Paulson explained that while the judge has the duty of ensuring a fair jury trial, he also must be rather deferential to the defendant's free speech rights. While the circuit courts are split on the proper standard to apply, gag orders are generally only issued when the defendant's speech is so inflammatory and/or untrue that it will create either (a) a clear and present danger of an unfair trial, or (b) a substantial likelihood of an unfair trial.
It will likely remain unclear what the proper standard is until the U.S. Supreme Court takes a case. Until then, defendants will walk a fine line between defending themselves in the "court of public opinion" and inciting the public so egregiously as to cause a mistrial.

2 Responses to Social Media and a Fair Trial… Again
Michael Dearington says:
Hey Erin, a very thoughtful post, and one that highlights, through other JETLaw posts, the pervasiveness of the issue. I tend to think, from a normative standpoint, a defendant should be able to vent to her own network in whatever way she pleases so long as she does not compromise the prosecution's ability to prosecute. Thus, unless her network is so large as to reach a potential jury and disrupt jury selection, for instance(e.g., if she were writing an op-ed for a local news paper), I don't see why she should be silenced.
Joanna Collins says:
Great post, Erin! I think an important fact in this case was that it was the defendant who was engaging in speech on a social media site. It seems as though the main purpose of gag orders to protect the defendant's right to a fair trial, so, arguably, a defendant should have a greater right to free speech than a prosecutor, juror, or witness in this context. If, for example, the prosecutor disclosed negative facts about the defendant on a blog, this would pose a threat to the fairness of the trial because it could influence the jury. However, if the defendant blogs about how unfair the trial is, this does not undermine her own rights as a criminal defendant in any way.

Gabrielle Union and longtime boyfriend Dwyane Wade have maintained a low profile amidst persistent rumors that their romance started while he was still married. So, why did the couple recently feel compelled to open up about the relationship?
According to Gabrielle, the two finally decided to grace the cover of a magazine together because they wanted to show a happy brown-skinned couple.
"We didn't realize that what people were thinking was that we were being kept off of covers and that we were being shunned because we were a darker-skinned African-American couple, and when we realized that—and people were like, 'We want more images of darker-skinned African-Americans'… We were like, 'Are we being a little selfish?'"
Gabby said she and D.Wade "have a ball together" and decided to share a little of that with their fans.
While the Think Like a Man star said she's gotten a lot of positive feedback from the cover, there's little doubt that Dwyane's ex-wife, Siohvaughn, who filed a lawsuit against Gabby back in 2010 for allegedly breaking up her marriage and poorly supervising her children, wasn't thrilled about the magazine feature.
Although they've been together for years nearly three years, it remains to be seen whether the two will make it down the aisle. At the taping of the BET Honors awards show earlier this month, Gabrielle joked that Dwyane had a [NBA] ring and that she was the one who should be sad about not having a ring yet.
Gabby talks more about how people have responded to the Essence magazine cover. Watch.

Iraq has ordered $100 million worth of light military equipment from China for its police force, contending that the United States was unable to provide the materiel and is too slow to deliver arms shipments, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said yesterday.
The China deal, not previously made public, has alarmed military analysts who note that Iraq's security forces already are unable to account for more than 190,000 weapons supplied by the United States, many of which are believed to be in the hands of Shiite and Sunni militias, insurgents and other forces seeking to destabilize Iraq and target U.S. troops.
"The problem is that the Iraqi government doesn't have -- as yet -- a clear plan for making sure that weapons are distributed, that they are properly monitored and repeatedly checked," said Rachel Stohl of the Center for Defense Information, an independent think tank. "The end-use monitoring will be left in the hands of a government and military in Iraq that is not yet ready for it. And there's not a way for the U.S. to mandate them to do it if they're not U.S. weapons."
News of Iraq's arms deal came as Army Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the top U.S. commander for day-to-day operations in Iraq, told editors and reporters at The Washington Post yesterday that he expects a U.S. troop presence will be required in the country for a minimum of "at least three to five more years" and will involve 25,000 to 50,000 troops, depending on security conditions.
Detailed planning is underway for the U.S. military to begin scaling back its primary mission from one of fighting a counterinsurgency to an advisory and training role, which will involve pulling U.S. troops out of Iraqi cities and closing some U.S. bases, Odierno said. Odierno and Talabani, who met separately with Post editors and reporters, said they expect their governments to finalize a long-term bilateral security pact in 2008.
The capabilities of Iraqi security forces are pivotal to the U.S. exit strategy in Iraq, with the creation of a viable police force critical to reconciliation. Talabani said only one in five Iraqi police officers is armed and called for faster weapons delivery from the United States to beef up Iraq's fledgling army.
Iraq's police force is noted for infiltration by militias and insurgents out to use national resources for their own ends, said William D. Hartung, director of the New America Foundation Arms and Security Initiative. "Besides, aside from possibly wanting newer models, there are piles of arms and weapons floating around in Iraq," he said.
The Chinese arms deal sheds light on the larger dispute between the United States and Iraq over rebuilding Iraq's armed forces and police. Iraqi officials have long complained about the supply of weapons and equipment for their personnel, noting that Iraqi security forces often patrol in pickup trucks without body armor along the same routes as U.S. troops wearing flak jackets and riding in armored vehicles.
"There is general frustration in the Iraqi government at the rate in which Iraqi armed forces are being equipped and armed," Iraqi Ambassador Samir Sumaidaie told reporters this summer. "This is a collaborative effort between the Iraqi government and the government of the United States, and the process is not moving quickly enough to improve the fighting capacity of Iraqi armed forces. A way must be found to improve this process."
Talabani yesterday expressed frustration with the delays. "The capacity of the factories here are not enough to provide us quickly with all that we need, even for the army. One of our demands is to accelerate the delivery of the arms to the Iraqi army."
Iraq has become one of the largest buyers of U.S.-made weapons. Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, told the Senate Armed Services Committee last month that Baghdad has signed deals to buy $1.6 billion in U.S. arms, with another $1.8 billion in possible weapons purchases.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the United States is "working closely" to help Iraq obtain "appropriate and necessary" military equipment. But U.S. officials concede delivery problems.
"We haven't converted toaster factories to produce carbines and we're working hard just to supply our own troops," said an administration official involved with Iraq policy. "Our factories are working for our own troops. So it's true we don't have the ability to provide these rifles and other equipment they're looking for."
In 2004 and 2005, the United States bought 185,000 AK-47s from an Eastern European country -- after Iraqis rejected U.S.-made M-16 assault rifles -- as part of a $2.8 billion program to deliver military equipment to Iraq. But a recent Government Accountability Office report said that 110,000 of them were unaccounted for, with about 30 percent of all arms distributed to Iraqi forces by the United States since 2004 missing.
Nevertheless, Odierno said, recent improvements in Iraq's security since the U.S. troop buildup have exceeded his expectations, with attacks down in September to the lowest level since January 2006 and U.S. troop casualties declining since June. A major factor has been U.S. operations against al-Qaeda in Iraq, whose sanctuaries have been reduced by 60 to 70 percent since January, he said. He warned, however, that the group can regenerate.
Another factor has been the unexpected willingness of Sunni tribes to cooperate with U.S. and Iraqi forces, he said. But Odierno said he remains concerned over recent statements from Iraq's Shiite ruling faction demanding that the U.S. military stop recruiting Sunni tribesmen f0r Iraq's police force.
"That's uncomfortable to them, and I think that's part of why it's so important. This is about reconciliation," Odierno said. "We have to continue to move forward."
He said the U.S. military is shifting more of its resources to targeting Shiite militias, including what Odierno called "surrogates" who are trained, armed and funded by Iran, as well as "special groups" affiliated with the Mahdi Army of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
"We are starting to see at low levels a split between those [Shiite militias] who have some relationship with Iran . . . and those who do not," Odierno said. He said the significance of the "fissures" is not yet clear.

The opportunity to bring a brand new play from page to stage is rare for student directors. With Reading to Vegetables, Tina Polzin, a student in our Professional Director Training Program (PDTP), will work directly with Portland-based playwright EM Lewis to create a Hitchcockian world of suspense on stage for the very first time. Inspired by Milgram�s famous �Obedience to Authority Studies� of the 1960s, this psychological thriller centers on a pre-med student, working as a research assistant, who poses as a coma victim. Her test subjects unwittingly share their secrets, and when a terrible accident occurs, the audience is left to decide who is responsible. The heightened stakes of this reality-based drama irrevocably lead to the question, "What would you do?"

Picking up a magazine on a hot range.
Educate me. Why do some people make an issue of a shooter squatting to pick up a spent magazine at his feet when shooting on line in a class? Especially if the class is being run as a hot range?
If the shooter's weapon is holstered, or the muzzle is controlled and pointed downrange, and he or she is not going forward of the line, what's the concern?

There is at your feet. Then there is just a little ahead of your feet. Then there is just a little bit more ahead of your feet. Then there is three feet ahead of your feet. It is a high reliability concept. If you don't allow it at all, you won't have the guy walking out and picking up the magazine that hit his knee on the way down and bounce out in front of the line.

If the drill is running, your gun may be holstered, but the guys on your left and the guys on your right have their guns out and are firing them. During a drill we want no extraneous movement on the line, for the reasons Osageshooter mentioned, and because unexpected things can happen, like a loss of balance. It's better to be safe in class.
They'll be a time after the drill is over and everyone has holstered when everyone can pick up magazines. Yours will still be there. It won't be going any place. |

My opinion:
Mark your mags so you can identify them and collect them after the drill. Don't stoop down to pick up mags until the range is no longer hot.

And that's quite apart from the fact that a surprising number of people (especially including old guys who've "been shooting longer than you've been alive") don't seem to have any inbuilt muzzle awareness, and swing their !$#%!#$ muzzles around to point at the guys next to them, their own kneecaps, AND the instructor behind them as they frantically dive for the magazine as if it might vanish into a hitherto-unnoticed black hole if they don't grab it before it strikes the ground. Gravity works, most of the time, and it can be trusted to hold your magazine in place right where it landed until the instructor calls the line safe. pax |

Let me answer that by asking you this why in the hell do you need to pick your magazine up right away? The instructor will give the entire class a period of time to collect/load magazines so why not just wait?

I agree with Fiddletown and Osageshooter. Every Instructor I have worked with insists on no one retriving magazines until the range is safe and all the firearms are holstered. |

If that hot range involved a defensive course, there's another reason not to pick up a mag.
Remember the Newhall Incident? Trooper James Pence, only 2 years out of the academy, attempted to pocket his revolver's empty brass during a reload attempt. It seems that, during his time at the academy, CHP didn't want empty brass cluttering up their nice manicured lawn at the range, and had rookies pocket their empties. It got him killed at Newhall. Habits folks... habits. Semi autos and magazines, slightly different, but the same principle. We were specifically discouraged from picking up mags primarily for that reason.

Let's say you have a nicely marked firing line. Now, person A knows not to cross the line on a hot range. He picks up his mag, which just behind the line. Person B does much the same, but doesn't pay quite as much attention to where the firing line is...now we have range violations.

Good comments by all.
The concern I would have mostly is what is the person doing with the muzzle while he/she is leaning/squatting/kneeling to pick up the mag, even if it is right at their feet. It's a moment when the mind is concerned with something other than muzzle discipline, and in such close quarters, any slip could be fatal. Also, the train as you fight concept applies 100%. Drop your empties and get them out of the way. If you drop a mag with some rounds left, it's gone, let it go. Get the next mag in the gun and make 'em count. If you're doing a tactical reload and you drop the partial, let it go and move on, it's gone. Stay in the moment and worry about After-Action Review when the time is right. For marking mags: Get yourself a good oil-based paint marker in your favorite color (I like green). Hobby stores like AC Moore or Michael's carry them, a couple bucks each and they last quite a while. Put a dot or your first initial on there somewhere and there will be no confusion about which ones are your's. |

If you train to waste extra moves, like picking up a magazine while shooting is on-going, it means that you are not concentrating on what is important like watching the enemy. A magazine should be secondary to your life and your life depends on you watching what is going on in front of you. Drop the magazine, move on and watch what is going on around you is important in that order. If you aren't shooting, you should be watching and moving or reloading while behind cover.
So why do we push watching the range over magazine recovery? Because (A.) is becomes a tactical strength for you to go straight through the course of fire and (B.) because it can be a safety issue that saves your life. Suppose the shooter suddenly slumps over with a heart attack or takes a richocet in the head. If you are alert and concentrating on the gunfire then when the shooter drops over you might be able to keep him from shooting another person by accident or even you. So there are basically two cautious reasons to wait and pick up magazines at the end of a course of fire. |

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
A solid tape you can feel secure recommending to your fans of dark-skinned lovelies.
The lovely Sierra lounges in a variety of supportive and revealing outfits while helping Pussy-man find talent for his upcoming video, Black Bad Girls 2. This "making-of" format works nicely, while the attractive performers and appealing interracial couplings keep things interesting. Images like Sierra's dark, smooth butt pressed against Kyle Stone's pale, hungry face keep things hot. What Monique DeMoan lacks in acting ability she more than makes up for in sexy, bossy dominance. Love those red vinyl lace-up boots. Good performances all around.

PETALING JAYA: Track cyclist Azizulhasni Awang is making swift recovery from the wound suffered in Manchester last month and there is hope yet that he may make the trip to Apeldoorn, Holland, for the world championships from March 23-27.
Azizul's left calf was pierced by a nine-inch long wood splinter that came off the track after a nasty crash, involving three others, in the keirin final of the Track World Cup round in Manchester. But he got back on the bike to cross the finish line for the bronze medal.
The stunning show of heroics earned him a place in history as the first cyclist to win three consecutive World Cup overall titles in keirin and plenty of admiration worldwide.
Azizul went for a delicate surgery to remove splinter at the Manchester Royal Infirmary before he was flown back to his base in Melbourne.
The Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF) deputy president, Datuk Naim Mohamad, said that Azizul, who is currently the No. 1 in the world keirin rankings, could now walk without crutches and was recovering well with no infection setting in.
"We were worried about him getting infected as it tends to happen with a flesh wound of this kind. Fortunately, the splinter did not come into contact with any tendon or bone," he said.
A decision was initially made to exclude Azizul from the world championships in view of safeguarding his prospects of challenging an Olympic gold medal, which Malaysia have not won, in London next year.
But there is now a possibility of seeing Azizul donning the white jersey, traditionally worn by the World Cup champion, in Apeldoorn.
Naim, who is the manager of the team, added that the departure of the track cyclists for the world championships would be delayed by three days to March 18 to accommodate Azizul if he is ready to see action.
"We will submit his entry along with the others who had qualified for their events in the championships,' he said.
"It is also our hope that he will recover fully by the middle of the month to take part in the championships as Olympic qualifying points are at stake.
"We do not know yet his actual fitness condition as he cannot train until the wound heals fully. Coach John Beasley will decide on this matter."
Azizul has made Asia proud with consecutive silver medal finishes in two previous world championship campaigns.
He earned the first silver in the sprint event in Poland in 2009 and settled for another behind Britain's triple Olympic champion Chris Hoy in the keirin in Copenhagen last year.

I chose this shop because they were over $200 cheaper than the other places I had called. I was told they are cheaper because they get their parts wholesale. The man that I interacted with was very friendly and helpful. The service was quick and I was even offered a ride to pickup my car when it was finished. I highly recommend this shop.

$25 for Members
$29 for non-members
Pre-concert Film, 7 pm
All on a Mardi Gras Day (2003)
Concert, 8 pm
The modern jazz sounds of the Crescent City come to the Queen City for one special evening. Alto saxophonist Donald Harrison is inextricably linked to his native New Orleans for his ability to weave his musical heritage through a highly personal amalgam of jazz styles that include be-bop, Dixieland, hard bop, R&B, and swing. A master singer/dancer in the New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian culture, his acting and musical talents have been a notable part of HBO's groundbreaking series Treme. Having apprenticed with the jazz legends Roy Haynes and Art Blakey, Harrison is now mentor to the next generation of New Orleans greats, including his current hardswinging band. (www.donaldharrison.com)
Individual concert tickets are $25 for Gallery Members and $29 for non-members. Season tickets, for all four concerts, are available at a discounted rate of $90 for Gallery Members. Tickets can be purchased at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery Admissions Desk or online at MuseumTix.com. Concerts often sell out in advance of each performance, so please order tickets early to avoid disappointment.
AK café will serve dinner on Saturday, April 28, 2012, before the Donald Harrison concert. For reservations, which are highly recommended, please call 716.270.8223.
The 2011–2012 Hunt Real Estate Art of Jazz Series is supported, in part, by a generous grant from Hunt Real Estate. It is produced by Bruce Eaton and organized by the Gallery's Education Department.
The Donald Harrison concert has been made possible, in part, through the generous support of The Weissman Family Foundation.

While Asner was getting familiar with the new kinds of data coming from Hyperion, and designing and refining computer programs to process the observations and calculate the different vegetation indicators, Nepstad had located a suitable pair of sites in the Tapajós National Forest, a managed forest south of Santarem, Brazil, where the Tapajós River joins the Amazon. He was busy figuring out how to temporarily thwart Mother Nature.
"I just love that kind of thing," Nepstad says of the challenge of devising a plan to prevent rain from reaching the rainforest. "Challenging" doesn't seem like a strong enough word to describe the situation. "We came up with panels—roofing plates that you can get at local hardware stores—suspended on a wooden structure [about one and a half to two meters off the ground] and tilted to run off into gutters. Each panel was half a meter by 3 meters, and there were 5,600 of them, made out of essentially clear, greenhouse plastic. Then there were 1,700 meters of gutters--a mile of gutter! All that flows into a trench around plot. The trench is lined with plastic, and the water flows off site into a gully about 300 meters away."
Scientists prevented rain from reaching the ground in one area (drought plot) and allowed rain to fall normally in another (control plot). Although the forest looks uniform from above, species diversity is so high that scientists had to survey 54 acres of tropical forest in order to find two, 2.5-acre plots with enough tree species in common for a good comparison. (Image by Robert Simmon, based on IKONOS data copyright Space Imaging)
The LBA team built a system of panels, gutters, and trenches to steal the rain from the Amazon Rainforest. Clear greenhouse plastic wrapped around wooden frames deflected rain as it fell ...
... into a network of gutters ...
... that drained into a narrow trench, which carried the water off the site. (Photographs courtesy Dan Nepstad)
To minimize damage to the forest during construction, the 1- to 2-meter-deep trenches around the plot were dug by hand—all 1,500 meters of them. "Of course, as we dug them out, they became great congregating places for every kind of snake you can imagine, boa constrictors, everything," says Nepstad with a short laugh.
Snakes weren't the only animal visitors. "With the volume of wood and other materials we were bringing in with trucks, we quickly created lakes in the road, and pretty soon we started seeing eyes in them." The eyes belonged to caiman, a kind of crocodile. "A number of times the workers would be hauling wheelbarrows of dirt from the trenches out to a pile, and find jaguars sitting on the dirt pile, staring at them."
"In all we probably brought in a volume of wood equal to about thirty percent of what was there in the forest itself. I would say about 100 tons of wood was brought in from local, legal," he stresses, "saw mills. The people who were bringing in all this wood thought we were crazy."
Aside from the trenches they dug to divert water from the site, they also had to dig out 11-meter pits so that they could measure soil moisture at various depths throughout the course of the experiment. "It took three people six weeks to dig each pit, and there were ten of them. At the height of the construction, we had about 45 people employed at the site, and it took about a year and half to set it all up."
The team spent about a year establishing a set of baseline measurements for 12 characteristics in each plot: rainfall, soil moisture, pre-dawn and mid-day leaf water potential (indicates water stress), litterfall (leaves, twigs, flowers, etc, dropped from the trees to the ground), litter decomposition, leaf area and canopy openness, photosynthesis, flower and fruit production, stem growth, stem respiration (the release of carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere as the tree consumes the sugars and starches it creates during photosynthesis), gases emitted from the soil, and solution chemistry (the different kinds of chemicals that leach into rainwater as it drips down through forest and onto the ground).

How to Manage PestsUC Pest Management Guidelines
SugarbeetCercospora Leaf SpotPathogen: Cercospora beticola(Reviewed 11/05, updated 1/10) In this Guideline: SYMPTOMS AND SIGNSSymptoms of Cercospora leaf spot first appear as individual, circular spots that are tan to light brown with reddish purple borders. As the disease progresses, individual spots coalesce. Heavily infected leaves first become yellow and eventually turn brown and necrotic. Blighted leaves soon collapse and fall to the ground, but remain attached to the crown. Heart leaves are usually less severely affected and remain green. COMMENTS ON THE DISEASEThis disease was primarily a problem on sugarbeets grown in the southeastern portion of the San Joaquin Valley and is not common in the Imperial Valley. Warm nights combine with high humidity in irrigated fields to provide an ideal environment for disease development. Optimum daytime temperatures for disease development are 77° to 95°F (25°–35°C) with night temperatures above 61°F (16°C) and a relative humidity of 90 to 95%. The primary source of inoculum is residue from a previously infected crop, but the fungus can be carried on seed and is also hosted by numerous weeds. Spores produced by the fungus are dispersed by splashing rain and may also be carried by wind to susceptible sugarbeet leaves. MANAGEMENTThis disease is not generally a problem in the Imperial Valley and is not normally treated for there. Varieties vary considerably in resistance, with the highest-yielding current varieties having the least resistance. Growers planting sugarbeets in late fall or early spring for an early fall harvest are most likely to be affected by Cercospora and should use a more resistant variety if possible. To effectively eliminate inoculum from a field, plant sugarbeets in a 3-year rotation with nonhosts and plow to incorporate crop residues. Avoid planting a new sugarbeet field adjacent to fields planted to beets the previous season. When sprinkler irrigation is used, run sets so that windblown mist does not keep leaves wet for longer than 24 hours. PUBLICATION

Project Name: AGCO Capital Argentina S.A.
Expected Consideration Date by the Board: 05/04/2010
Date Posted: 03/31/2010
Company: AGCO Capital Argentina S.A.
Scope Objective: In order to boost their business in the agricultural sector, AGCO Corporation and Rabobank, through Rabobank affiliate De Lage Landen, have partnered in several countries and formed companies that provide financing to buyers of agricultural equipment. Worldwide, the joint venture is called AGCO Finance. AGCO Corporation, a U.S. corporation with assets of nearly US$4.9 billion, is a leading manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment. Its products are sold under the Challenger, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, and Valtra brands. AGCO Corporation operates in more than 140 countries with a network of more than 2,800 dealers who, in addition to selling and servicing the machinery, provide farmers with tailored financing. De Lage Landen was founded in 1969 as a leasing company based in the Netherlands. It has become a global provider of leasing, business, and consumer finance solutions, including vendor finance and factoring. It is present in more than 35 countries in Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and Asia, and has 5,000 employees. AGCO Capital Argentina S.A. provides financing in the form of pledge loans to individuals and small and medium-size companies in Argentina, chiefly for the purchase of agricultural equipment. Most of the financing is dollar-denominated; to be eligible, the farmers must produce commodities such as corn, wheat, sunflower seeds, and soybeans. AGCO Capital Argentina S.A. has a financing agreement with AGCO Argentina's nationwide network of 150 dealers. The proceeds of the IIC loan to AGCO Capital Argentina S.A. will be used to provide financing to small and medium-size enterprises in Argentina by granting loans secured by pledges on equipment pursuant to eligibility requirements to be established by the IIC.
Environmental Review: This is a category III project according to the IIC's environmental and labor review procedure because it could produce certain effects that may be avoided or mitigated by following generally recognized performance standards, guidelines, or design criteria. To enable the Borrower to better understand the IIC's requirements, AGCO Capital Argentina S.A. shall be required to attend the IIC financial intermediary environmental training workshop. Each subproject must comply with national environmental and labor laws, regulations, and standards as well as IIC environmental guidelines.

How do I get rid of the read more button for portfolio items?
November 6, 2011 at 7:38 pm #55529Hey,
you can remove them in includes/loop-portfolio.php – search for following code and remove it:
echo ''.__('Read more','avia_framework').'';
April 5, 2012 at 11:24 pm #55530I'm not able to locate the loop-portfolio.php page in the includes folder. Has the name or location changed? I'd also like to remove the titles that show up underneath the thumbnails. Can this be done?
April 9, 2012 at 1:50 pm #55531Hey,
the loop-portfolio.php file for Brightbox can still be found in brightboxincludes.
On line 56 you'll find the line, as Dude commented.
echo ''.__('Read more','avia_framework').'';
To hide the titles you can add this to your Quick CSS or custom.css
.template-portfolio-overview .post-title{display:none;}
OR you can remove this from your loop-portfolio.php, on line 46
echo "
".get_the_title()."
";
I hope this helps :)
April 10, 2012 at 7:43 pm #55532I'm a little confused. I'm using the Clean Cut theme and I can't find anything about Brightbox in my theme. All I need to do is supress the "read more" buttons. The titles are fine.
April 10, 2012 at 9:35 pm #55533Sorry, I should have added a link to my test site as this would clarify what I'm using. My bad.
April 11, 2012 at 12:23 am #55534Hey,
That's because you've posted in a topic regarding the Brightbox theme, we didn't know.
A quick solution to hide the links is to add this to the bottom your style1.css located in the css folder.
.page-template-template_portfolio-php .more-link{display:none;}
Let us know if this works for you :)
April 11, 2012 at 6:40 pm #55535Sorry for posting in the wrong area.
It worked for one of the portfolio pages: http://test.singularsoftware.com/video-tutorials-pluraleyes/
The read more links are still showing for two other portfolio pages in spite of clearing my cache:
Any thoughts?
April 13, 2012 at 2:05 am #55536Hey,
you can try this instead of the previous, it should cover everything portfolio related.
.portfolio .more-link {
display: none;
}I hope this helps :)
April 13, 2012 at 4:50 pm #55537Thanks, that worked perfectly.

If you jailbreak iOS, there is an app that gives you quick access to toggle settings such as wifi, 3g, data, location... by just swiping the top bar.
Is there a similar solution without jailbreaking? an app or a setting?
I have iPhone 4S, iOS5
Unfortunately not because there is no public API making these settings available to developers. |
Yes if you run iOS 5.0 and not upgrading to iOS 5.1. For the majority of us, this means no since OS older than 5.0 don't have this and it was disabled at 5.1 and later. Who knows what the future may bring... For historical purposes, here is how this worked on 5.0: Apple apparently has silently added URL shortcuts for these sort of quick functions to iOS 5.0. Jeff Broderick (blog at http://brdrck.me/ ) has assembled a nice dashboard of these shortcuts with gorgeous icons to save the web clips to the home screen of your iOS device. Simply browse your iOS device to http://brdrck.me/settings/ and pick from the many web clips that he has assembled. These are basically the same as taking a web site in the iPhone configuration utility and adding it to your home screen with a nice icon. This could be something that was meant for testing or will get pulled according to some rumors about the latest 5.1 beta - but there's no way to know what will happen other than waiting until official documentation comes out or this change gets pulled / disabled. |
I was able to create a webclip that takes me directly to the Call Forwarding toggle screen, something that no one else apparently has done before, which is baffling to me. Anyway, it works great, but I would love to be able to make it toggle the setting on or off. If that's not possible then I could make two that have a static setting of on and off. Anyone know how to do this? The url for the webclip is: prefs:root=Phone&path=CallForwarding I created a config profile in iPhoneConfigurationUtility, emailed it to myself, clicked and installed it, and it worked! Simple things like this make me happy. |
Found one at least - search for "Dimmer," gives you brightness. You can set it that each launch toggles between two manual presets. Would be great if it self-quit, but it's better than nothing. Would be even better if there were equivalent apps for bluetooth, wifi, airplane mode, ringer volume... |

I suffer from chronic severe postpartum hernias- I'm tiny, 5'1, normally 95 pounds and during pregnancy I carry big babies. Pregnant with my 3rd. The hernia is so bad this time around (35 weeks pregnant) that I really need to take this more seriously after the baby is born.
I looked up "postpartum corset" on Google to see what was available and was surprised to find so many options out there! It's overwhelming. My midwife had a recommendation- I don't remember the brand name but will ask her next time I see her.
In the meantime, do you have any recommendations? The reviews online are conflicting but there are some helpful ones, too...
Thanks in advance!!

I am wearing a corset for abdominal separation, not for hernias, but hopefully this will be helpful anyway! I got the Better Binder corset (ordered from amazon.com), and I really like it. It's not too bulky and not at all uncomfortable, so I feel just fine wearing it all day. Hope that helps!

Recycling Asbestos
Don't get caught out - get rid of all Asbestos!
Can I recycle Asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral and it was a building material used predominantly in the 1970's there are 3 main types white, blue and brown. Asbestos was classified as a hazardous waste in 2005 as it is made of millions of tiny fibres and when it is handled these fibres can be disturbed potentially causing harm if breathed in. Asbestos should be handled very carefully and by specialists if possible.
How is Asbestos recycled?
Unfortunately there is no way of recycling Asbestos other than a new technology developed in the USA which converts Asbestos fibres into harmless minerals of non-toxic from at a price comparable to that of land filling.
What else can be done?
Some skip companies can remove Asbestos safely and some local councils will accept Asbestos at their household waste recycling centres.
