text:
Bankruptcy is a federal law issue and is handled in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Sometimes, the legal responsibility to pay a state court judgment can be "discharged" through getting a bankruptcy order in federal court.
Under MN Statutes § 548.181, a judgment debtor can ask a Minnesota state court to discharge a state court judgment AFTER they get an order for bankruptcy from a U.S. federal bankruptcy court. Based on U.S. Code, Title 11, the debtor may apply to the state court asking for the discharge of all judgments entered against the debtor in that state court by filing the Application for Discharge of Judgment due to bankruptcy. Certain filing fees may apply depending on whether the debtor had ever filed documents in the civil case that ended in the judgment against debtor.
Creditors may object to the request for discharge IF: 1) the debt from the state court judgment was not discharged by the bankruptcy court; or 2) the state court judgment was an enforceable lien on real property when the bankruptcy discharge order was entered.
Talk with a lawyer about whether you can apply to discharge a state court judgment and how to do it. Contact your local Court Administrator if you have questions about where to file state court forms.
If you need help with forms and procedures, go to Self-Help Services in the Courts to see if walk-in help is available at your courthouse.

State Bar of Texas Annual Report 2013 - 2014
January 2, 2014
It is my pleasure to present to you the 2013-2014 State Bar of Texas Annual Report.
In many ways, the story of the past bar year could be told through numbers. The State Bar celebrated 75 years of service, and we observed the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Our new Texas Bar Private Insurance Exchange saw more than 21,000 visits and 1,800 enrollments, and TexasBarCLE offered approximately 100 live courses and 75 live webcasts. Our Solo and Small Firm CLE events served nearly 200 attorneys in McAllen and Amarillo, and nearly 1,000 attorneys received career advice through our new Alternative Careers for Lawyers seminars in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and online at TexasBarCLE.com.
Numbers alone would miss an important part of the story, however. One of the pleasures of working for the State Bar is hearing accounts of how our programs and services are impacting lives and making a difference. One seasoned family law attorney, having read a Texas Bar Journal article on tips for new lawyers, thanked us for reminding her of the importance of sitting with clients behind the rail to ease their apprehension at court appearances. "Thank you for making me a better lawyer," she wrote. And another attorney told us the Texas Lawyers' Assistance Program "helped save my life. Not just my career, but my life." These stories, as much as the numbers above, are the fruits of our labor.
This year's Annual Report provides an overview of our programs and services along with anecdotes from three of our members who were licensed the year the State Bar Act was signed, in 1939. I hope you enjoy their stories.
As always, I am thankful for the hard work and commitment of the State Bar's officers, directors, volunteers, and staff. Together, we are succeeding in our mission to strengthen the legal profession while serving Texas lawyers and the public.

LIGHTSVILLE - The State Fire Marshal's Office was called to investigate a fire that engulfed a home at 2327 Rossburg-Lightsville Road and kept firefighters on the scene for nearly six hours Monday.
Rossburg Fire Department received the dispatch to the fire at 10 a.m. and, according to Assistant Chief Rod Widener, it was fully involved when his department arrived. Neighbors reportedly called in the fire.
He also said two residents who lived in the structure were alerted by neighbors and had left the home before the fire department got there.
Widener said the state fire marshal described the cause of the fire as undetermined.
"We don't think it's suspicious," Widener said. "But, we declare it a total loss. Nothing there was salvageable."
The assistant chief also reported that there were no problems in battling the blaze. Mutual aid was received from the Ansonia, Union City, Ohio and Ind., Burkettsville, St. Henry, North Star and Osgood fire departments.
Ansonia and Union City Rescue were also on standby at the scene.
The Darke County Chapter of the American Red Cross was called to help potential victims.
It is believed that a cat and a dog died in the fire and that some equipment in the garage, which also caught fire, was burned.

Interesting Facts About Essential Oils
When choosing an essential oil for whichever purpose, it's important to consider their benefits, their therapeutic uses and how they can help naturally treat body ailments. Knowing as much as you can about essential oils will make it easier to choose which ones to use and how to do it.
On this complete review about essential oils, we want to share important facts you need to know before buying oils for any purpose…. Read on!
What YOU Need To Know About Essential Oils
Essential oils do not contain the elements in normal oils. They do not have fatty acids. Instead, they are made up of plant constituents, which enhance their cosmetic and medicinal properties. These elements that make up essential oils have anti-fungal, antiviral and antibacterial.
What science is also pointing to is that oils can be used internally and externally, especially with the help of natural silica supplements that help facilitate and assimilate key nutrients like vitamins and minerals which oils can help buffer for better skin and benefits.
Easily absorbed: Essential oils are made of miniscule molecules. This makes them easily absorbed by the skin. This also ensures there is no accumulation on the skin when used, making them a perfect ingredient to soft, heal and nourish the skin.
Mood Boosting: Oils such as lavender and peppermint can be used to boost ones mood. Others are known to improve memory and could help in tests performance. Inhaling rosemary oil is known to improve concentration and focus. Lavender oil is also known to help in relaxation.
Precautions to Take When Using Essential Oils
If wrongly used, essential oils can be harmful, so it's important to take precautions when handling them. A large quantity of plants are needed to produce essential oils, which makes them a very concentrated substance, that needs to be diluted prior to use.
Essential oils can be diluted with carrier oils. Failure to dilute them could lead to skin irritation. Even after diluting,
it is important to take a skin test before applying on larger areas to be sure there will be no irritation. Rub the oil on the inner upper portion of your arm and leave it for 24 hours to monitor reactions.
Undiluted essential oils should not be used on babies. This is because their skins tend to be delicate and thinner than adults. This makes them very sensitive to the oils.
Not all essential oils are safe for use in pregnancy. Try to avoid them totally in the first trimester. Once the first trimester is over, check any given oil before using it.
Determining Quality in Essential Oils
Many essential oils vary in quality. Those labeled, as extra virgin oils are the most pure. They also tend to be darker in color than the rest.
We are even starting to see pure forskolin extract in oils and supplements because of its ability to help provide key interactions that help boost and enhance ability to utilize the oils healing attributes. We talked about this in our last post here.
Let's continue by saying to test the purity of the oil, place a drop of it on a piece of paper. Pure oils will evaporate very fast and will not leave any noticeable ring. If a a ring has been left, this is an indication that the oil has been diluted. To protect the potency of the oils, they should be stored in dark bottles. Also store them away from the sunlight.
There are a variety of essential oil brand you can choose from, if you are looking for quality and efficiency DoTerra Essential Oils seems to carry a variety of products that are proven to be effective and pure.
Buying the best essential oils will depends on what you intent to use it for . Below is a list of common essential oils and their uses:
Lavender oil: This helps in boosting mood as it has relaxing effects, is perfect for all skin types and hair care.
Peppermint: Can be used in cleaning products, lip balms and to prevent acne or avoid oily skin.
Rosemary oil: great for use in hair care, skin care and cleaning agents.
Rose geranium: Used in manufacture of perfumes, skin care for different skin types and in homemade moisturizers.
Tea tree oil: This oil has healing properties that can help in treating dandruff and for oily skin.
Lemon oil: This can be used sparingly in toners and for oily skin care, in cleaning agents as well as lifting moods.
One of the better websites out there that provide herbal oil information is MountainRose Herbs.
Please let us know if you have any questions, we will be sharing more in the near future to help you achieve better health and wellness!

They are now safely back in a United Nations compound, they are all healthy, they are in high spirits and they will soon be in contact with their families and loved ones here in Fiji.Our men will need to be debriefed and they obviously deserve a period of rest before they return to their duties, but I know that they are all keen to continue their mission.
The Republic of Niger and the Republic of Fiji formalized diplomatic relations at a ceremony at the Permanent Mission of Fiji to the United Nations in New York on 9 September, 2014.

So I ask this, is it really a stretch to make gold making a requirement to perfectly min/max? If the answer is yes, than where is the line drawn? Should the game be made so that each aspect can be readily and with no harm detached from another? Making zin'rokh an arch drop, was that ok?
My point being, logically, it sort of makes sense to say "Hey now people with gold can get an advantage, just like people who chose to play a better race, or have better professions." That being said, due to the uneven nature of server pops, and the RNG of the BMAH, I'd say no, it's a poor design. Allowing raid level pieces to be purchased is fine, but making pieces exclusive to BMAH, or making pieces drop from the last few bosses available on the BMAH is a bad design.
In addition, gold making isn't technically "playing the AH." There are plenty of ways to make gold through PVE, whether that be farming, running old instances, leveling, or the like. I'm not saying that makes it acceptable, I'm simply saying that gold making, like other raid related drudgery, isn't outside the realm of PVE.
Oh, another point. What about BOEs, whether crafted, trash drops, or world drops? These require large quantities of gold, and yet I rarely hear raiders complain. Granted, that is likely since these are often not BiS pieces, but I'd counter argue and say that a major upgrade like Relic at the start of an expac or tier can be far more beneficial than an upgrade from normal to BiS in another slot.
Personally, I'd like to be able to valor cap through ONLY raiding, I'm fine with racials/professions and their state of PVE impact, as well as consumables (Although IDK how many potions I've used, easily 2k this tier.) And with BOEs.
And last but not least, I have a question. Outside of personal enjoyment (whether just getting it all, or for ranking, etc), why does full BiS matter? If it doesn't impact progression, I don't see as much harm. I dislike not getting it (That damn belt never won it in DS...) but really, with no impact it doesn't really matter.
TL;DR, ONLY on BMAH is bad design. Items on BMAH are bad/good depending on how hard they are to get. Ultimately, I don't see full BiS happening anyway w/ thunderforge RNG, so it's rather moot.

|You Can BE THE MATCH! Join the Blood & Marrow Registry
After battling cancer twice, All Children's Hospital patient Mary Lumapas received a lifesaving marrow transplant. But it wasn't easy finding a match. No one in her family could provide the lifesaving marrow. After the National Marrow Donor Program exhausted its registry of potential American donors, they helped Mary locate a match through international donor programs. Every year, thousands of patients like Mary hope for a matching blood or marrow donor to make a lifesaving transplant possible. You might Be The Match.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness Month, and Sickle Cell Awareness Month - and bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is an important treatment option for these diseases. All Children's will host many registry sign-up drives throughout the month of September as well as in in early October. During these events the usual $30 registry enrollment fee is being waived, and it is very easy to sign up.
Here's how it works:
Peripheral Blood Stem Cell donation-the most common method
This is a non-surgical procedure similar to donating blood. Donors return to their normal routine in 1 or 2 days.
Bone Marrow Donation
In a brief surgical procedure, the donor is given anesthesia and a needle is used to withdraw liquid marrow from the hipbone. The marrow replaces itself within 3 weeks, and donors return to normal activities in 2 to 7 days.
To learn more about Be The Match go to www.marrow.org or email Marc Silver at firstname.lastname@example.com .

Summer travel season is in full swing, and we think trips are always more fun when you bring your furry friends along. If you're planning to take a vacation this summer with your pets in tow, we've got you covered.
In the car:
Taking a road trip? Here are a few car travel safety tips brought to you by ASPCA supporter Subaru.
Practice makes perfect: It's a good idea to practice having your pet ride along for a series of short car trips leading up to your big trip.
Ride safely: Keep your pets safe and secure in the car by having them ride in a well-ventilated crate or carrier. The crate should be large enough for your pet to stand, sit, lie down and turn around in. Secure your pet's crate so it will not slide or shift in the event of an abrupt stop.
Road trip snacks: Be sure to pack plenty of water, and avoid feeding your pet in a moving vehicle. Your pet's travel-feeding schedule should start with a light meal three to four hours prior to departure.
For a full list of car travel safety tips, visit our Pet Care section.
Traveling by plane:
Unless your furry friend is small enough to ride under your seat on a plane, the ASPCA advises avoiding air travel with pets. However, if you must bring your pet along on your flight, it's best to plan ahead. We recommend you book a direct flight if possible. Here are a few other suggestions:
Careful with crates: Prior to your trip, purchase a USDA-approved shipping crate that is large enough for your pet to stand, sit and turn around in comfortably.
IDs, please: Be sure to mark the crate with the words "Live Animal," as well as your contact information and a photo of your pet. Make sure all vaccinations are up-to-date and that your pet has been microchipped for identification purposes.
In-flight food: Attach a pouch of your pet's food to the outside of her crate, and freeze water in a dish for your pet to drink as it melts throughout the flight.
For more air travel safety tips, visit our Pet Care section.
No matter where you're headed this summer, please be sure your pet is wearing an ID tag at all times. Happy trails, and safe travels!
Want to stay up-to-date on the latest travel tips?
Sign up to receive our weekly newsletter, ASPCA News Alert - you'll receive important updates on what's going on and how you can make an impact to save animals' lives!
Leia goes with us just about everywhere. Including to my mom's weekly which is over 40 miles away. She uses a car harness that attaches to a seat belt. I prefer the harness to a crate. She could still slide all over a crate, this way she's protected by unexpected stops. Also we have a travel water bottle like this.
It's great for longer trips, or if you are suddenly delayed or stuck in traffic. When my husband is driving, I often lean to the back seat and offer her water this way. :)

Parent Resources
One of the most valuable things a parent can do to assist their student with the career planning process is to listen and maintain an open mind to often unclear and wandering ideas. Career development can be stressful—this may be the first really big decision your student has ever had to make. Be patient, empathetic and understanding, even if you don't agree with their thought processes, musings, comments, ideas, or decisions at first.
Helping them access a variety of resources to refine their career development ideas, including accessing electronic information, identifying their natural and familial networks, and encouraging them to utilize the resources available to them (like the Career Services Center) are also very helpful activities. The following is a list of things you as parents can do to help your child get focused:
Encourage your student to visit the Career Services Center.Many students' heads are spinning during their first semester in college, so perhaps the spring semester of their first year is the best time to encourage a visit to the CSC. You should reassure your student that Career Services is for ALL students and majors, not just seniors, and that meeting with a career counselor can take place at any point in their college career—however, the earlier the better!
Our counseling sessions are not just about post-graduate planning. In fact, one of the most valuable aspects of an early career conversation is planning out what you can take advantage of during your time at CMC. Studying abroad, going to Washington DC, participating in the Silicon Valley Program, applying to the various networking trips offered, doing research for faculty, working at one of the Institutes, and community service are things all students should consider—and they require planning. Encourage your student to focus their counseling session on what they can do during their time at CMC, not just about post graduation plans. The point is, this discussion should happen early in their time at CMC.
Suggest your student prepare a resume and cover letter.A resume is one of the critical "tools of the trade" at CMC and will be needed for countless opportunities during CMC and beyond. The earlier your student puts one together the better.
Writing a resume is quite a challenge and can highlight areas of strength and weakness. Resume examples are available in the CSC Guide book, which is accessible in hard copy from the office as well as on our website. The CSC also has books and additional online resources for creating resumes and cover letters, along with our Career Consultants who are experts in coaching students through this process.
Encourage your student to let you proofread their resume for grammar, spelling, consistency and content, or, if they prefer, recommend they have someone else look at it—but please suggest that your student have AT LEAST one other person review their resume and cover letter before sending it.
Encourage your student to think about what they want to do."What do you want to do after you graduate?" Ask this question gently as it can cause great angst for many students. This is definitely a topic that needs to be discussed. If your student seems unsure, talk about the positive personal qualities and traits you see in them and where those might be put to good use. Recommend that they meet with a Career Counselor to discuss options. They can take one of the assessment tests offered by the CSC, or talk with faculty members they know and trust. Doing research in the CSC library or online, attending industry nights and information sessions are also excellent ways to become "occupationally literate". A career decision should be a process and not a one-time, last-minute choice. Discourage waiting until senior year to start seeking the answer to this question.
Relevant work experience in this very competitive job market is critical, so internships are key. An internship provides a "laboratory setting" for your student to determine what he/she wants to do (or not do), is good at (or is not good at), likes (or dislikes)—all of which is important. Employers are interested in employees who have:
Emphasize the value of Internships or volunteer experiences.
- strong communication skills, oral and writing
- critical thinking and problem solving skills
- the ability to work in teams
- project management skills and the ability to take initiative and follow through
- the ability to tilize technology effectively
Internships also allow employers to see how an individual functions in the workplace and gives a leg up to those whose organizations "promote from within". They also create an opportunity to obtain a professional recommendation, which can be very valuable in the job search process.

Before becoming governor, Scott ran Solantic Corporation, a network of Florida urgent care centers, which he co-founded in 2001. From 1997 to 2001, he owned a controlling share in America's Health Network, a media company later known as Discovery Health. He previously headed Columbia Hospital Corporation, a conglomeration of 340 hospitals, from its founding in 1987 to 1997.[2]
Scott is eligible for re-election and was seeking a second term as governor in the 2014 elections.[3] He has repeatedly been rated as the most vulnerable incumbent heading into 2014 gubernatorial election cycle by The Washington Post and Governing.[4][5] One potential threat to Scott winning re-election is former governor and attorney general Charlie Crist. Although he has yet to declare, Crist's recent decision to change his party affiliation to Democrat and subsequent hobnobbing with the Democratic Governors Association strongly suggest he is preparing for a comeback bid.[6]
Rick Scott was born in Illinois, near Bloomington. He grew up in Kansas City, Missouri where his parents worked as a truck driver and a secretary for J.C. Penny. After high school, Rick spent one year in community college before deciding to join the U.S. Navy.[1]
He served for two and half years, much of that time spent abroad the U.S.S. Glover as a radar technician. Upon leaving the service, Scott attended the University of Missouri and went on to law school in SMU. He began his business career while in college, when he bought and revitalized two doughut shops. After law school he joined Johnson & Swanson in Dallas, Texas; at the time, the firm was the largest in the city.[1]
While a partner at Johnson & Swanson in 1987, Scott formed HCA Acquisition Company specifically to acquire Hospital Corporation of America and secured funding conditional on completing the acquisition. The initial offer was declined by HCA and ultimately withdrawn.
The next year, he formed Columbia Hospital Corporation and successfully acquired several Dallas area hospitals. Beginning in 1992, Scott and his partners bought a hospital a year for four years, including HCA, his former target. By 1997, Columbia/HCA was the largest healthcare provider on the glove, with annual revenues exceeding $23 billion.
But by then, an investigation begun by the New York Times had caught the eye of the federal government. The federal investigation uncovered evidence of fraud and the company ultimately paid $1.7 billion in fines. Scott's departure from the company was part of the arrangement to avoid criminal charges. Scott relocated to Naples, Florida and founded Richard L. Scott Investments. Starting in 1998, the firm acquired numerous targets.

Political career
Governor (2011-Present)
Scott was elected Governor of Florida in 2010 on a ticket with Jennifer Carroll. His term ends January 6, 2015.
Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")
On February 20, 2013, Scott joined the growing brood of reluctant Republican governors to declare his support for Medicaid expansion as outlined under the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as "Obamacare."[7] The controversial federal health care reform bill was passed in March 2010 to the dismay of many Republican elected officials, Scott included, whose disapproval crystallized into a legal effort to have the law overturned by the Supreme Court. The challenge was led by Scott's executive branch colleague, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. When the Court ultimately upheld Obamacare on June 28, 2012, Scott expressed his commitment to shun optional provisions such as expanding Florida's Medicaid rolls. But the prospect of having to put 3.5 million Florida patients into managed care plans under a federal action waiver convinced him to agree to a three year trial period for expansion, during which the federal government can absorb the costs of adding 1 million low-income Florida residents to the state's Medicaid rolls. "Three years is a reasonable period to judge just how well the expansion is working and to explore further reforms to improve cost, quality and access in health care -- both in the public and private markets."[8]
Scott's appeal to the Republican-dominated Florida legislature to consent to a three year trial expansion pointed to the estimated $26 billion federal dollars Florida could receive in the next 10 years under the expansion, as well as the compassion behind broadening eligibility requirements in order to provide care to a portion Florida's 4 million uninsured residents. Reversing his position on the expansion "is not a white flag of surrender to government-run health care," Scott insisted.[8]

Scott announced he ran for re-election in 2014.[9] A report released by Governing in December 2012 named Scott as one of five governors considered vulnerable to losing re-election in 2014.[10]
The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Hypothetical match-up polls
Scott defeated Bill McCollum and Mike McAllister in the August 24 primary, winning with 46.41% of the vote.
Scott faced Democrat Alex Sink in the general election on November 2, 2010, winning by just over 1%.[11]

Graduate Student Orientation (General)Posted Jul. 20, 2011
The Kent State graduate community warmly welcomes you. To help make your transition to graduate student life at KSU successful, the Division of Graduate Studies hosts an orientation program designed to supplement department or program-level orientations.
Kent State University's Graduate Student Orientation (GSO) is held prior to the start of fall and spring semesters and all new graduate students are encouraged to attend. The Fall 2011 GSO is August 23rd (general program) and August 24th (program for teaching assistants). If you are a new, incoming teaching assistant, it is mandatory to attend both days of GSO. The second day is also open to returning graduate students with new teaching assistantships or those interested in teaching, as the program (on the 24th) will be tailored as such.
Through informational sessions, small group discussions, and a social event, GSO provides an opportunity to meet and network with other new graduate students as well as learn about university resources and the Kent community.
We look forward to meeting you soon!

The Panasonic GH2 features several improvements over the GH1 and the G2, the most important of which is its sensor. On the GH2, Panasonic has chosen an oversized 18.3 million pixel 4/3 sensor, with an actual output of 16 million pixels.
But on the other hand, it might also not be such an improvement for shooting still pictures especially if resolution is not a priority. 18 megapixels on a 17,3 x 13 mm sensor results in a very small pixel pitch: only 3.6 µm on the GH2. This is really small compared to the 4.3 µm of the GH1 or to the 5 µm of a Sony NEX 5, and might impact image quality.
Look at the test results in detail, compared to the GH1, the GH2 shows very similar performance in every field. But most of the time, the GH2 is a tiny bit behind. Its new sensor does not manage to make a clear difference.
Compared to the G2 however, the GH2's performance has improved: if color depth remains unchanged, the dynamic range gains 1 EV and the low light ISO performance is improved by a bit more than 1/3 stop.
The GH2 is definitely a good upgrade for those who would like better image quality than that provided by the G2. For those already owning a GH1, the choice is between noise and resolution.
Disclaimer: This dxomark review evaluates only the selected camera's RAW sensor performance metrics (i.e., Color Depth, Dynamic Range, and Low-Light ISO), and should not be construed as a review of the camera's overall performance, as it does not address such other important criteria as image signal processing, mechanical robustness, ease of use, flexibility, optics, value for money, etc. While RAW sensor performance is critically important, it is not the only factor that should be taken into consideration when choosing a digital camera.

Dual Monitors - 2nd monitor not working - no picture
by bettyboop032004 - 8/23/10 8:48 AM
Hello. I am having an issue getting my dual monitors to work.
I have 2 Radeon x300 series monitors and a Dell Dimension 4700 with a pentium 4 and windows xp.
They are hooked up via a regular monitor plug and a div plug (with an adapter). Under the display Properties I have extended my window desktop onto the other montior.
When I minimize a screen I can have it sit in limbo between the two monitors but I can only see the image on one monitor - the other monitor has a black screen.
The monitor that I am seeing a visual on is plugged into the tradition monitor port. The other monitor is plugged into the adapter that is plugged into the dvi port.
Any suggestions?

This is one of the most common questions that I get asked in the office. Allergic diseases are certainly becoming more and more prevalent in the developed world. General pediatricians and specialists are on 'high-alert' for this when evaluating a child that may be sick. Within the realm of intestinal diseases, however, a true allergy is actually not very common. To understand this, we must first understand what 'allergy' means.
An allergy is a biologic response from our body's immune system. When our body senses a foreign invader, our army of immune cells attacks it. It does this by releasing chemicals into the blood stream and/or in to the organs where the threat may lie. Those chemicals are meant to destroy the invader, but often hurt our healthy organs as well. For example, airborn pollen may land in your eye, the immune system senses that pollen, releases those chemicals, and as a consequence we get itchy, puffy, watery eyes. The same thing can happen in the bowel if we ingest food that we are allergic to.
Intestinal manifestations of food allergies
One of the more common sites of an allergic response to food is in the esophagus—the food pipe. When the esophagus gets inflamed, it can manifest in a few different ways: heartburn symptoms, chest pain, chronic dry cough, upper abdominal pain, frequent regurgitation, or food that is stuck the chest. The name of this is Eosinophilic Esophagitis. Food allergies lower in the bowels can cause diarrhea, blood in the stool, abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, and fatigue.
There are usually other red flags
One of the most important things to remember is ....

When Joey J., a photographer, went with his family on a tour of the ASPCA Adoption Center, he had no idea they'd be bringing home a furry new addition. He shared the following story with us about adopting Frannie, his loyal canine companion and photographer's assistant:
We lost our beloved Boxer, Riley, in June. I was devastated and did not feel ready for another dog. I was getting used to not having a 24-hour companion with me at our home and at my photography studio. While visiting our friend Lisa, who works for the ASPCA, my son asked if we could go take a tour of the Adoption Center. As we were there learning about all the wonderful animals and the amazing work the staff and volunteers do, Frannie came running up with a toy and melted my wife's heart. We then had a chance to meet her, and we all fell in love. Frannie found us, adopted us and we are living happily ever after.
The adoption process was wonderful. We were screened as a family to make sure we were the right fit for Frannie, which we believe is very important. We spoke with volunteers who knew Frannie well, as well as with trainers who worked with her on specific behaviors and obedience. We were given a very thorough packet of information regarding her health and training records, along with a wealth of information on care and training. We had never adopted before, and after touring the Adoption Center and learning more about the ASPCA, we recommend it to everyone.
She is a perfect family member. She loves to play hockey and football, and loves to dig up treats we hide for her in the yard. She is with me all day and works as a greeter and professional photo bomber in my studio. Everyone loves her. She's a big girl, but we find room in bed with us or with our son. We love it—and Frannie is way better than a blanket.
Congratulations on being the lucky family that Frannie chose to share her life! We didn't have the chance to adopt any of our 4 felines from a shelter--all of them literally ended up at our door. I think we have a "Suckers Live Here" sign in our yard that only cats can see, LOL, and I am very, very glad for it.
You aren't the only one. I think cats have a system like hobos used to have where there are secret markings. I'm grateful for those beloved kitties who have found their way to my door. One thing about cats: you don't pick them - they pick you!
I just love you for the good hearts you have!! Thank you for taking in these kitties.... how blessed are they.... and you!!!
Rotties are the sweetest most loving dogs on the planet. Glad you are so happy for giving Frannie a loving home
I celebrate your love of Frannie. The world needs more families like yours.
Thank you for providing her with your unconditional love and a truly great home. She will reward you one thousand times with devotion, love, and the great joy she will provide. The greatest gift in life is LOVE.
What a lovely and heartwarming story!
When I was growing up we had a menagerie......dogs ,cats, ducks ,chickens ,hamsters lizards ,ant farms.
We always got our cats and dogs at he local animal shelter.
They never failed to be loyal and loving ,especially with my mentally retarded sister.
It's stories like this that give me hope for mankind in this troubled world we now live in.
Right on!!! What a beautiful life for all of you!! God bless and keep you... thank you so much for adopting Frannie!! (Or, did she adopt you!!!)
Lovely story I wish all dogs had a happy ending like this one.
Frannie looks like she is smiling and happy to have her forever home... Bless you for adopting her and making her a part of your family!!!!

Upgrading Samsung Tocco F480 to iPhone5 problem
by AlexTyrrell1954 - 1/28/13 6:54 PM
I'll try and keep this as short as possible. I'm upgrading from my Samsung Tocco F480 to an iPhone5. Can anyone who has did this offer me any help on the best way to achieve the changeover? I know I'll have to cut my full size sim card to a nano card but I think I'll go into Carphone Warehouse or somewhere and get that done. If I understand things properly the iPhone5 doesn't store phone numbers etc. on the sim as it has plenty of memory and that there is a way once I have the sim card in the iPhone5 to retrieve all my contact details from it. My problem is that in the Samsung I seem to have some contacts on my sim card and some on the phone. I assume I need to have them all on the sim card but how do I actually do this? Any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated as I don't want to screw up the switchover. Cheers.

Lawmakers up in arms over report on Army payroll problems
Friday - 12/14/2012, 3:17pm EST
By Katie Howard
Federal News Radio
The U.S. Army continues to struggle with managing $47 billion in military payroll accounts, which has caused major woes for some soldiers trying to collect their pay, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office.
As a result of the Army being unable to track and collect data on numerous pay errors including over-payments, under-payments, data-entry errors and fraud, active duty soldiers are not receiving the correct compensation and this has a bipartisan team of lawmakers furious.
"It is unacceptable the Army continues to struggle with payroll issues. After putting their lives on the line, our soldiers should not have to have worry about whether they will receive the pay they have earned," said Sen. Tom Coburn ( R-Okla.). "As this report notes, payroll problems quickly become morale problems and needless distractions for our troops during deployment. There is no excuse for this financial mismanagement."
Coburn has joined the call for collective action led by his colleague Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, who called the Army's payroll system "antiquated and fundamentally broken."
"Federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, should always strive to be good stewards of taxpayer funds, particularly as we struggle to address our massive federal debt and deficit. After all, we can't effectively identify areas to reduce spending if we don't know how much - and where - we're spending that money in the first place," said Carper. "The GAO's findings are disturbing and point to a bigger, broader trend of faulty financial management" at the Defense Department.
300,000 military pay problems
The report found evidence of more than 300,000 military pay problems since 2008 and is a follow-up to an earlier GAO audit which was examined during the joint hearing on New Audit Finds Problems in Army Military Pay chaired by Sen. Carper and Rep. Todd Platts (R-Pa.) in March of 2012.
Specifically, GAO found countless examples of pay problems, as well as fraud cases investigated by the Army Criminal Investigative Division, which could have been prevented but unfortunately were not detected and corrected. The report also stated that the Army's current payroll system "does not have the capability to identify and report the extent and causes" of improper payments.
Specific findings from the report include:
- A soldier who separated from the Army in 2009 continued to receive active-duty pay totaling about $185,000 until 2011.
- A soldier who was absent without leave from January 2010 to September 2011 received military pay of $33,268 to which she was not entitled.
- A soldier under investigation for possible fraud allegedly received over $34,000 in paratrooper and language proficiency pay but did not have a documented record of jumps performed or other required up-to-date proficiency certifications.
In addition to Sens. Carper and Coburn, Scott Brown (R-Mass.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) on the Senate side and Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) and Todd Platts (R-Pa.) on the House side all want to see improvements in GAO's findings on the Army's lack of effective oversight.
"As Congress is facing difficult questions over sequestration," Brown said, "It makes it all the more difficult to argue against irresponsible blanket cuts to defense spending when the Department continues to have significant challenges with basic financial management."
"Our brave men and women in uniform have sacrificed enough and they deserve to receive their hard-earned pay free of errors or other accounting problems. I urge the Department of Defense to address the issues identified in the report quickly and completely," he said.
Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, weighed in on the GAO findings, saying, "We have an obligation to ensure that taxpayers' money is well spent, but we also have a duty to men and women of our armed forces to ensure they receive prompt, accurate pay."
Five recommendations
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has pressed DoD to drastically improve its financial management practices, Carper said. "I welcome that commitment from the Secretary and urge the Army to adopt GAO's recommendations to address these problems outlined in this report," Carper said.
GAO included five recommendations for adopting a more accurate payroll system and to strengthen monitoring and reporting controls
The Army informed GAO that it hopes to have a new payroll system in place by the end of 2016.

Gaetane Celine Michaud MD, MSc
Associate Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary) and of Anesthesiology
Biographical Info
The main focus of Dr. Michaud's clinical practice, research and education is in Interventional Pulmonology. Interventional Pulmonology is a sub-specialty of Pulmonology that involves specialized and highly technical diagnostic and therapeutic procedures on the airways, pleura and lungs. These require very specific technical skills only available in a small number of academic centers in the US. As such, patients are referred for treatment from across the country and even internationally. The patient population is often quite sick with multi-system disease including COPD, lung cancer, etc., and the procedures themselves are considered high risk.
As one of the country's most prominent center for Interventional Pulmonology, our unit is actively involved in the innovation of new technologies and both industry sponsored as well as clinician-initiated research. Currently Dr. Michaud is involved as an investigator and co-investigator in multiple clinical trials. She recently completed her Masters of Science in Health Services Research offered through Dartmouth College.
Dr. Michaud has gained international recognition for excellence in teaching of these complex techniques. Her educational responsibilities range from teaching multi-day courses in endobronchial ultrasound, advanced bronchoscopy and pleural. She has had the opportunity to train some of the foremost Interventional Bronchoscopists in the country. Finally, Dr. Michaud is committed to the advancement of her field on the national and international scene and regularly participates in educational activities at other sites including presenting at international conferences and hands-on courses.

The JamStik comes from a company called Zivix (even the name is cool). It's a little MIDI guitar that works with real guitar strings, works wirelessly over Wi-Fi and has a small design for portability. The biggest feature is that it supports string bending "thanks to the way it detects finger movement on the neck".
CoreMidi Compatibility Required
You'll need a Mac or iPad (it might work on Windows computers as well) and software like GarageBand to get the audio to sing.
Pairing your Jamstik over WiFi and loading up, say, Garage Band, you can enter notes just by playing them on the guitar with real strings. The frets are mostly for show, since finger-sensing infrareds underneath the fret strings are what chord you are actually playing, but the strings for plucking or strumming are real, and you actually need to hit them to release the note. Octaves can be changed by a built-in D-Pad.
Apps coming soon
Zivix hopes to offer a few apps along with the device. They plan to launch a guitar teaching suite called JamTutor. They also have a game they'd like to introduce called JamHero (of course). Then they'll add a live music remixer called Jam Live.

Installs a container
An Installer is meant to install a container on your local machine. There is currently only a single Installer implementation:
ZipURLInstaller which downloads a zipped container distribution from a URL and which installs it (i.e. unpacks it) in a specified directory. This is useful if you wish to fully automate a container installation without having to ask the user to manually install a container on their machine.
Of course you don't have to use an Installer if you want to use a container already installed on your machine.
Example using the Java API
Example using the Ant API
Example using the Maven2 plugin
Using Maven2-based distributions
New versions of most application servers have their distribution packages built by Maven2, hence distribute these as ZIP or TAR.GZ files on a Maven2 repository. It is also rather easy to upload servers' packages to an internal (for example, enterprise) Maven repository.
The CARGO ZipUrlInstaller can be used to reuse the Maven dependency. The example below illustrates that use case applied on Jetty 7:

When the conclave of cardinals in the Vatican City chose a new pope, white smoke rose from a chimney attached to the Sistine Chapel. Watching on TV in the Register newsroom, we heard a church official announce "Habemus papam" – "We have a pope" in Latin. The TV commentator gravely intoned, "Habemus papam – for many people, the only Latin they know."
I think the poor guy's brain had become waterlogged from standing out in the rain of St. Peter's Square for too many hours. He was wrong, twice over.
1. There are many Latin phrases Americans use every day.
2. "Habemus papam" is not one of them.
The Register newsroom ricocheted with Latin words and phrases. You didn't have to be a current or lapsed Catholic to unspool two or three from instant memory. "I have a pocket full of E Pluribus Unum" yelled one editor, speaking of the "Out of Many, One" on our currency.
"Carpe diem!" said another – "seize the day," a catchphrase popularized by the movie "Dead Poet's Society."
"Quo vadis?" shouted a reporter – the apostle Peter's question to Jesus as he has a vision of Jesus walking toward Rome as Peter flees it to avoid martyrdom. (Told Jesus is going to die in Peter's place, a chastened Peter, the first pope, returns to Rome to face his fate.)
"Just say no to quid pro quo," I chimed in, using the Latin term for backroom deals. In Travel, it's the unethical practice of writing a travel story about a place that offers you a free trip (a no-no at the Register).
Soon the list was up to about 50 keywords and phrases, especially after the courts and cops reporters joined in with their "habeus corpus," "stare decisis" and "compis mentis" contributions.
I jotted down as many as I could and then winnowed the list to 12 (or XII, as they said in ancient Rome) that everybody knows or should know, whether they plan to travel to the lands of the Roman Empire or run into a don at Oxford University.
Ad nauseam: To talk on and on about something until everyone is ready to figuratively (or maybe even literally) hurl if you don't shut up.
Alma mater: Sounds like your great-grandmother's maiden name. Every school uses it and nobody knows what it means. The translation is "bountiful mother," but usually means the school you attended, though a lot of people think of their colleges more as stingy, angry fathers than giving mamas.
Bona fide: The real thing. See quasi.
Et cetera: The word you throw onto a list of examples when you run out of examples. I always think of Yul Brynner discovering the word and using it, well, ad nauseam in "The King and I."
In vitro: Latin for "in glass," the term has become commonplace in fertility treatments where eggs are fertilized outside of the womb before being placed into the woman for gestation.
